A gossiper reports rumors without doing any checking for accuracy. That seems rather indifferent to the truth? Phrasing it as a technically true statement by adding “some say” in front is still rather indifferent to the truth of the rumor, as normally understood.

Similarly, statements of the form “if X were true then Y would be true” are independent of the actual truth value of X, which is often unknown. If you care whether X is true or not, it’s entirely unhelpful. It’s indifferent to the truth of X because it’s an independent statement.

These can be seen as forms of bullshitting that avoids being technically incorrect.

It’s sort of like we’re doing now. We’re not discussing the ground truth of anything concrete.
Well it's a game where you run around doing things like throwing apples at peoples' heads to knock them out, or do things like lure people into bathrooms by running the tap so that you can knock them out or kill them and steal their clothes--and then walk right past their coworker who doesn't know the difference. Not to mention all the weird dialogue that only uses like 4 voice actors total lol.

The sense of humor can be a little awkward, and sometimes it doesn't deliver, but it seems clear that the game really facilitates not being taken seriously and just completing the missions in the most lolz way possible.

How was playing it on the iPad btw? Seems...impossible lol

Clearly it's performative, and when no applause (from any similar assh#les in the immediate vicinity) is forthcoming, they take it as oppression, and the brainwashing of society in the large. Chip on shoulder, but scaled up by orders of magnitude via mass media assist.
Yes, that probably depends on the relative availabilty/demand in your location. I personally __probably__ would have earned a bit more overall if I had done web stuff, but at least in Eastern Europe, experienced embedded people can get similar comp than they would at web/mobile/enterprise jobs.

And since the coin is now tied to the rest of Europe, it becomes more attractive for members from other EU states to buy property in Croatia, or live there as a pensionado. This can drive the (housing) prices upwards.
Hello fellow Croatians. Congratulations and all good. Your Slovenian neighbor, who very much enjoys visiting Croatia.
Speed limits, building codes, the list goes on and on an on. And of course the wealth of society is sapped to pay for enforcement of all this stuff. Pretty much all civil regulation and the associated enforcement costs could be scaled way way way back if the single digit percentage of people who really suck didn't or the low double digit percentage of people who really get bent out of shape over these people got somewhat over it.
Saying, no, but feeling, yes. Keating's "Asian Century" version of Australia never took strong cultural hold. Our nearest neighbours PNG & East Timor are ignored except by our NGOs and spies, and few visit Indonesia other than the Bali beach resorts. A brief 1990's spurt in Mandarin teaching in schools is in decline, with European languages remaining the most popular. Australia is still by far the most Eurocentric of the post-WW2 immigration nations. And it's literally the whitest, which is why it's been the destination of choice for so many South Africans since the 1990s.

This is changing to some extent with demographics (immigration from China and India, and some generational change). But surprisingly slowly and shallowly. Few Australians know much about Asia, or even the Pacific, let alone feel theirselves to be part of it.

Only slightly related to your very funny comment here, you might enjoy “The Visual Display of Quantitative Information” by Edward Tufte. Not only does he help you to best make the abstract shapes and colors, but there’s an added aspect of the visuals that tickles the mind. That added aspect is how easily some information is communicated along with the image. It’s along the lines of how sometimes someone can tell a joke just by saying something as concisely as possible (even if the content isn’t humorous).

Like you said, whether or not the visuals provide any value is a completely different line of discussion.
If you don't mind hotkeys, I eventually discovered that cmd+up arrow will take you to the parent folder.
Fair point.

I'm estimating based on fundamentals / first principles, and of course other factors can bump that up.

I suspect that there are also performance fines possible from government --- Federal quite probably, state/local possible.

Possibly also from various airport authorities.

Note that this is speculation though grounded in some prior experience, e.g., $7.5 million in fines levied by the US Federal Government (Dept. Trans.) this past November:

<https://www.npr.org/2022/11/14/1136678315/u-s-fines-airlines...>

And, as I noted, offset operational costs (e.g., fuel, as noted), which reduce total losses.

Still, the basic point is that this is hundred-million-dollars level expensive, and that mitigations against that risk could themselves be expensive and still ultimately worthwhile.
For work-related reasons I use both a new-ish ThinkPad running Windows, and an M1 MacBook Pro. I also hate how unrealiable macOS has become compared to earlier versions. But that's still nothing compared to the Windows notebook.

Like a 5-year old kid, this ThinkPad randomly decides that it doesn't want to go to sleep. Unplugging, closing the lid, or manually selecting it from the start menu: it simply won't do it. It does turn off the display, but the power light stays on, and the fans keep running. What am I supposed to do with a hot, actively cooled notebook that won't turn off, when I want to put it into a bag because I have to go somewhere? And fun fact: This bug has persisted for years. It's a portable computer that actively refuses to be transported.
I so wish there was a complete prolog implementation exactly like this in pretty much any language I use. Unfortunately they always end up being woefully incomplete.
Small claims have dollar limits and most corporate landlords enforce arbitration agreements to prevent any possibility of a smaller court from damaging their interests.
Thanks, that makes more sense.

It's an important clarification for anyone wishing to upgrade to a newer machine but wants to avoid being stuck with Ventura until if/when it's sorted out.
Ser.
I wish this was true. The reality is that this won't harm them at all because most people simply don't care. Plenty of companies that are openly hostile to their customers are doing better than ever, Nintendo comes to mind as another common DMCA abuser.
Why is performance so much better in this case? That seems like a suspiciously large delta from the first test.

Were the other benchmarks run in debug mode / with optimizations turned off or something like that? What compiler & flags are you using?
> This might be new to you, but that does not mean it's some new information that's been hidden.

I downloaded Chrome on a new laptop an hour ago (at my employer's request, I'd use Firefox myself) and was certainly not aware of this.

This information was not on any screen at any point. There was a default-checked checkmark for some general statistics sharing which I only noticed after clicking download (because it was small and below the download button), but didn't click through to the privacy policy to learn more.

Guess I should have read the privacy policy. I'm trying to find what it said now, but I can't see it anymore because different terms apply to Linux downloads and there's no button to download the Windows version. Basically, visiting the same page in Firefox on Linux (instead of Edge on Windows, which I don't have access to atm) gives me different contents and no checkmark.
$1bn on rental homes

That's 10,000 $100,000 homes, or 5,000 $200,000 homes, or 2,500 $400,000 homes.

Is it just me, or when put like this it doesn't seem so many? The high rise where I live has, I estimate, 200 units. So at $400,000 per, they're buying roughly 12 high rises. Doesnt seem like a "threat to democracy". What am I missing? I would imagine that right now most of these high rises are owned by a few firms already.
You seem fixated on "downloading files over HTTP(S)" and are missing the point.

Nearly every videogame for instance use libcurl as their HTTP stack. You know why? Because it's the best HTTP library for C/C++.

If you have a C/C++ application doing HTTP traffic it's likely using cURL. Or, I dunno, you could look at this page to find out: https://curl.se/docs/companies.html
If companies started outsourcing and we had a union of tech workers, we could just collectively replace those companies.
They’d either play ball with us or we’d do a nuclear option & GNU an equivalent tech stack that obsoletes them.

If Comcast isn’t a monopoly for many in this country, I don’t know what is. Serious question: what are some notable examples of the government taking actual action against monopolies in a meaningful way that made them no longer monopolies?
I'd like to take this opportunity to note that January 1 is a myth.

It's actually NoMoNoMoVember.

> If I could design my perfect language, it would be Python, just with clear variable declarations via a keyword such as `var`, optional true static typing and consts, and better tooling

I highly recommend taking a look at F#. It is functional first, but it is multi paradigm in that it supports imperative and OOP programming just as well. You can write code in F# effectively how you’d write code in Python, if you’d like. F# is indentation sensitive, has sane scoping, the dotnet CLI tooling, modules, pattern matching, easy and regular async, scripting, notebooks, static typing with type inference (meaning you don’t need to type annotate everything), etc.

I would argue that of everything Python does, F# does it better and more. So if we accept that Python is the second best language at everything, then F# becomes a rather interesting language to consider.
I wish other file explorer apps would support miller columns.
There is Waydroid. It doesn't use Chrome but should work on any Linux distro. I have used it in the past with some success, but not for quite some time now.
Come to think of it, the tidally locked orbit kind of makes such a supply seem obvious, doesn't it? I mean it's like a big fat "send power here" sign.
Thanks to these comments I've taken a deeper look at both Pocketbase and Datasette. I wonder, could I use replication to keep the DB of Datasette (operating in read-only mode) in sync with the DB of Pocketbase.

"the movie is set on NYE"

Is it? I don't recall anything to suggest that. The title in German in "The 90th birthday".
You have freedom to associate with whom you choose based on any reasonable criteria other than not hiring someone because of the color of their skin, where they come from, or whom they choose to love. The freedom of a tiny minority of employers cannot be extended further without abridging the freedom of the vast majority of folks. You have argued both for forcing people to associate with those whose views they find deplorable and for privileging the right of employers not to associate with protected classes. Which is it?

The only possible interpretation is that you are either vacillating between mutually incoherent positions arguing first one than the other with no attempt to reconcile them or you would like the government to privilege one group of people by allowing them to discriminate while forcing people to accept their "free expression" however odious it is.
Question that may have been answered but I'm coming up short with searches. What about LastPass Authenticator TOTP seeds. Were those compromised as well?
Ah I should have added wilfully nasty. The article I thought mentioned discarding "bad days". But then again are the malicious truly aware and holding themselves accountable for their maliciousness instead l just pointing to external circumstances.
It means lower interest rates at the cost of high unemployment, unless you are Germany or some other country with naturally low interest rates. Low interest rates drives up asset prices and assets are owned by the wealthy. Unemployment/underemployment hurts young people the most. Governments can borrow more cheaply and can spend more money on social programs but they also tend to divert it into their own pockets and to the pockets of their backers. When the inevitable crisis hit the countries can’t devalue the debt in response, they instead have to sell national assets.
The individual would just form an llc or even c-Corp and use that to purchase the real estate.

I think most real estate rented out is technically owned by a corporation because of the liability issues. So we’re already there. But I think there’s a difference between a solely owned Corp and a huge Corp. But for tax purposes, they seem the same.
> The simple cases become managers or architects

Not at all. As a senior, you note that even if you can do a lot of things - almost everything - right now, you are still just one person. Even if you are a mythical creature that can put out code dozens of times more than others, you note that what you can physically produce is always far behind the possibilities that you can see on the horizon. Then you realize - you need to cooperate and work as teams. For only by collaborating you can make happen all those things that you can envision. Which obviously takes you towards leading people one way or the other.

Why do you say it isnt a navy crew, and those arent navy uniforms? Not in the USN so not able to tell quickly, but it seems that they are in a mix of the USN NWA Type IIIs, Navy Whites, and then working overalls. They almost all seem to have some sort of rank insignia, though the only ones I can make out are the LT, the CDR or possibly CAPT, and then maybe a cadet to his left?
Yes, this was my question. Are 3-5% of people horrible all the time, or are we all horrible 3-5% of the time? Or more likely at any given time 3-5% of us are horrible, with some of us entering the group more often than others.

According to the article:

"About 80 percent of bank deposits are denominated in euros and Zagreb’s main trading partners are in the eurozone. Croatians have long valued their most prized assets such as cars and apartments in euros, displaying a lack of confidence in the local currency."

So in that sense it's less of a radical change than e.g. Czechia or Sweden, since they primarily use the local currency AFAIK.

If you're already half-way using the Euro (kuna is pegged to Euro as well) you might as well join the euro-zone and have some influence.

> “weaker performers” is either (1) an objective measure that unions can be sold on

Do you have any examples of unions accepting that?
well, you could just close it and continue
Could have been used for, as the article explains. The evidence is (literally) quite thin.
What's an objective measure for weak performers? I haven't found any. When someone is not performing, is disruptive or just not a good fit, management usually starts building up a paper trail with poor reviews (subjective with documentation) and an improvement plan. I think it's reasonable approach.

Also the rehire thing sounds fine but its one of those benefits that would have to be negotiated but in practice almost no one would use.

Laying off locations and functions make a lot of sense. If it becomes prohibitively expensive or inconvenient for a location why would you want to make it harder for the employer to adjust?
You’re right. I was just pointing out how this risk is lower now than 10 years ago. It’s not completely eliminated.

There are remote jobs of varying quality. But they are much more prevalent now, than 10 years ago.
Both Ventura and iOS 16 are sloppy. While details matter to users, the logical conclusion is that taking care of them doesn't add to shareholder value.
One of the reasons unions exist is to provide some sort of job protection for the members. If anyone can just join up, then the effectiveness is reduced. Having an entry bar also guarantees some level of experience to the employer, making the union an attractive hire, in theory.
Too bad it's not also in geosynchronous orbit, or we could just use an extension cord.
I think there’s a lot of nostalgia coloring that view. There was a ton of kvetching back then and a significant majority of the problems then and now do not affect all users but the people affected will be far more likely to complain, making it easy to forget that.
I just want to be able to drill into ZIP or other archive files, like any regular folder. Drag files in and out of the archive, view and even edit them from within the archive. You know, basic functionality offered by Windows Explorer for decades now.

I haven’t even found any free/OSS archive utilities that really implement this as effectively as Windows out of the box. All you can really do with an archive in MacOS is... decompress it to the current folder. Really?
Oh, I know. But we got him now so we get all his prior accomplishments.

Writing eBPF Programs with Elixir
it's probably 20:80 rule at play though.

per 20 80 rule, 20% people are just 'not decent' no matter what, it has nothing to do with you, it's just statistics.

now for this small group again, 20% of them are really standing out, I mean really nasty, that makes it 4% of all people, right in the middle of the author claims: 3~5%.

it makes math-sense to me.

on the other hand, I would assume 4% people are genuinely kind and warm-hearted no matter what.

the rest 60%(excluding 20% at both ends), or 92% people(excluding the two 4% at each end) are just regular folks, a mix of selfish and generous day in and day out.
I'm torn between believing that Germans have a good sense for the absurd, and thinking they just experience joy when they find a good source of randomness with which to re-seed their internal PRNGs.

In my county, they have a “homestead exemption” that only applies to people to live in their home. I think this helps with the problem you’re describing.

This allows the property tax rate to increase while impacting non-resident owners more than resident owners.

Sadly though, this kind of tax just increases rent as it’s an additional cost to land owners.

I have a very niche, non-technical book in both print and kindle formats. It is Kindle priced at $9.99 and I am paid $6.70 royalties per copy sold. This calendar year 37.4% of sales were Kindle. Lifetime, about 23% are Kindle.

Print charges at Lightning Source have gone up considerably the past two years. In addition, they forced publishers to pay a minimum 30% wholesale discount this past year. Previously, I only paid 26% (most of which I am sure goes to Amazon or other online retailer). I try to keep the print cost to no more than 35% of the list, leaving me 35%. As bricks n mortar stores want a 50% discount at a minimum and also require acceptance of returns, I have never tried that route.
Agree that the term data science is strange. Data engineer seems like a better name. Science implies rigorous hypothesis testing guided by a theories of how particular systems work. Not sure that applies to most “data science” work.

I am intellectually curious about the framework that supported this - from the first few days of idealism, the february of despair, the family sacrifices and friends who pushed or supported him.
Amazon pays software engineers very well (compared to software engineering jobs in general). Perhaps people don't vote with their feet because they like the money.
