It's amazing to me how many glaringly obvious issues Windows 10 still has. Recently I had to leave the comfort of my PopOS! desktop and use a brand-new Windows 10 gaming laptop.

Windows + "putty" would regularly lose keystrokes at the beginning of the word. And for whatever reason, typing "putty" would not select "putty" as the top choice, but "puttygen".

And then I wrote a text in Notepad where I had to paste in some information. Ctrl+V and started typing. Boy was I surprised that the paste command was delayed and pasted halfway into the next word.

Like WTF Microsoft? You have 4 CPU cores boosting to 4+ GHz and you can't keep up with my typing speed in the core UI of your OS? Is this thing dedicated entirely to vision-impaired retirees?
It's so obvious for Google.

And that's probably part of what's happening at Apple as well ? We've seen important, but not quite groundbreaking products get left for dead, and eventually killed when at Apple's size it probably wasn't that problematic to keep them alive. I'm thinking about their network router lineup for instance. Or how nobody cares enough to make a Calculator app for the iPad.
I'm getting pretty burned out on hearing this analogy. It seems to stem from a basic confusion between tools and toys. Tools don't constrain your use by dictating output; they help you speed up solving
new problems. Toys create environments that shoehorn you into their prefabricated set of solutions. The feeling of gratification from making something nice with a toy is a placebo for the gratification of solving a real problem, and a big part of the drag we're experiencing on creative problem solving these days is the replacement of free-form solving with puzzle-solving. Puzzles, like AI prompts, have solutions that exist in advance in a latent space, and their discovery promotes a form of gamification but doesn't ever till any fresh soil. Being great at playing a game can never approximate being halfway good at writing a game. Discovering Will Wright's philosophy embedded in the best way to play SimCity should only be a step on the road to writing your own SimCity, not an end in itself. SimCity is a toy, not a tool, despite its being a fun stepping stone for future urban planners. One would never want urban planners to rely on it to make their decisions, because deep assumptions are baked into it. Same with ChatGPT. Many, many assumptions based on a snapshot of the world are baked into its output.

Whereas a pencil has no assumptions whatsoever, and no bias towards what you'll do with it, and offers no suggestions that might funnel you in some direction. That is what good tools are like.

[edit] and I mean, how often do we hear that a tool or framework is too opinionated? What's meant by that is that the tool constrains your ability to solve problems with it based on its pre-baked gestalt. Extrapolating the inherent limiting problem with that to all writing leads to some extremely weird outcomes like whether a student's poor attempt at analyzing a text shouldn't get at least as much credit as the student who fed it into a neural net they neither care about nor comprehend.
They'll never go away, it just morphed into "Go was wrong and finally learnt the lesson that Java 5 did 19 years ago by adding in generics".

Go showed that useful software could be written without user-level generics. I don't think any other language today would dare to do that. In fact most languages seem to be converging into the same thing.

The optional typing in Python is pretty mediocre, especially in comparison to something like Typescript that just does everything so much better. The types are pretty limited and not very ergonomic (especially when using generics or functions), and third party support is hit-and-miss. The worst thing, I think, is that the Python typing community are trying to solve lots of the problems with plugins rather than by improving the capabilities of the type system. This might produce better results in the short run, but in the long run it makes things more complicated, as for a given project I need to understand (a) how Python works, (b) how Python types work, and now (c) how each of the plugins installed in this project work and how they interact.

I really want to like typed Python, but it's a pale shadow of what it could be, and what it really needs to be if people want to use it to describe very dynamic Python programs.
Buy? yes. Keep? Depends if your use infringes on the companys rights and if it wants to cause you legal issues. A company having a trademark doesn't mean it owns every use of the word after all.
Your list is literally what the main stream would specify about hippies: stunted in growth and irrationally angry at society for its goals and aspirations (hippies would be seen as man children who will rather do drugs and have sex than grow up, get a job and start a family).

It appears to me that you are so angry at 4-chan for its perceived ideas that you cannot see things from their perspective.

>because I don't see any law of nature or society

Human wants are unlimited, there'll always be something people want that machines aren't able to provide (until machines can do absolutely everything humans can do, at which point they'll be sentient and probably won't want to work for free).
grapes often have whole web orbs inside them with a spider inside the orb.
Wasting time at home, or finding excuses for doing so, is still easier to do, and it is harder to evaluate how much time you really spent working. And then there is the children effect. It seems magically OK if a WFH worker is not available for a few hours because "something with the child", an excuse they simply can not pull while in the office.

Also, I find it pretty aggressive that you call 9-5 5days a week "insane" and go to extra length to emphasis that you think people who do that have a mental illness. Its fine to have different viewpoint on a matter, but to call someone insane and unable to assertain their own situation just because you like a different way of spending your time, is pretty condescending.

For the record, I work 9-5 5days a week for 22 years now, and I still like it.

I hope you found a modus that makes you happy, so happy that you dont have to look down at other people and lecture them about what is best and what is insane.

Why figs specifically? Are other fruits less likely to come packed with unintended protein?
That's why we're building FossTeams [1], an open source client for Microsoft Teams (:

The idea is to have a backend [2], powered by a library [3] that does the heavy lifting and a / multiple frontends to be used with that (e.g: CLI[4], Web frontend[5], Flutter app[6]).

We're looking for contributors! If you hate Teams and want to improve an Open Source version, PRs are welcome (:

Yes, that's the easy part. How does a client without extraneous information know that the action resizePhoto corresponds to the action that the user requested when dragging the image border inwards? The idea was a totally agnostic client, IIRC.

You either tightly couple the client to the API or you need AI, don't you?

And if the client needs to know that connection, how is that superior to having it do the PATCH dierectly?
S.A. council forced to dispel ‘bizarre’ claims of Musk using mind-control chips
I've posted this because it's an amazing example of the infectious quality of bizarre beliefs. This quote from the article shows the kind of logic-chopping people are doing:

Noscag’s spokesman, Grant Harrison, said some but not all of the claims mentioned in the council’s motion were believed by Noscag.

“I’m not making any assumptions about the truth or falsity of any statements,” he said.

“What evidence does the council have that they come up with the conclusion that something is false?

“I’m not saying they’re true or false. They’re putting them there assuming they’ve dealt with it. I believe that some of the councillors may not know the full story.”
What a silly path to walk down - rather than cleaning up the hopelessly messy and user unfriendly programming language embedded inside Excel - create an elaborate AI assistant that can write even more messy formula code.
Can you be more specific? What is easier to do with JSX+JS that is harder to do in Vue/Svelte context? Or another take on the question, will it be easier to read and understand for someone new to the codebase or JS development?

I live in the usa. The places I've been to that have outdoor tables and aren't in pedestrian areas tend to have a giant parking lot shielding them from any high-traffic roads. The place that was an exception to that was on the edge of a university campus with relatively slow traffic.
Last year, Consumer Reports did a study on spices contaminated with chemicals (cadmium, etc). And Trader Joe's wasn't immune from it.

Certain third world countries would grow them in contaminated areas and then sell them back to the west.

Yeah, Python will work. I'm working on something, I've saved this thread in my pocket. I'll keep you posted.
No, its the part where you misrepresent somebody else's creation as your own. if its not alright for a person to do then its not alright to automate it. stop trying to play dumb semantic games, its not nearly as clever as you think it is.

You probably were replacing LoC with libraries or syntactic sugar, you can do the same with java. As a senior I can write same functionality than juniors with half LoC.

I don’t know if I am biased towards Nginx, but every feature in their comparison page makes it sounds like Nginx is actually better! For example a config file to me fits better in GitOps, compared to a state machine fiddled with REST API!

I don’t buy the argument of Nginx not supporting hot reload! Like a good unix citizen SigHib would do a config reload without a downtime.
OP here: This is what the article in Public Books is all about. A lot of the "benefits" the Park presents are made up, manufactured conveniences, accompanied by manufactured inconveniences that make it hard for others to resist. The Park makes people feel like they've get a lot of benefit out of playing along, while the park actually benefits from convincing people so easily to relinquish any control over their personal information. We should think more about whether a convenience or "benefit" on offer--a few dollars off, a few minutes shaved--is a lure designed to get us to sign our data away for their profit.

What did I get out of it? Personal data autonomy.
My personal experience is that static typing not only eliminates a huge number of unit tests but increases documentation expression in combinationn with good names.

Dynamic typing is excellent for experimentation though.

Python hits the sweet spot.

But I can definitely recommend Groovy as an excellent alternative having all the strengths of the Java ecosystem.

Scala and Kotlin are also quickly catching up.
You can't use the population of SF to compare how "dead" the city feels.

Something like >300k people commuted into the city every day. That's increasing the population by like 50%.

Would be curious if anyone can find reliable data on this.
Yes. Figs are basically the most likely, as you see here. The fruit can't even be produced without the help of a fig wasp, and they often end up dead inside it. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/fresh-figs-and-b...

Many figs are pollinated by fig wasps which die inside the fruit.

https://www.bonappetit.com/story/figs-and-wasps
That’s not really true. You only need the wasps to pollinate. But the tree will fruit without being pollinated.
The flipside is that it's very difficult to get promoted as a manager. As an IC you can at least show some skills to prove that you deserve to be at the next level. A manager can usually only get promoted if there's enough scope or if there's an opening at the higher level (eg. senior manager left).
Wasps put their eggs in figs so it is a closer collaboration than most pollinators.

I hate ads. Used AdBlocker since ~2005 when I was in middle school and first got internet. If I'm going to see ads, they better be relevant.
This is an interesting problem. I think a massive part of this is how much customers are paying. If it's enough, certain parts that may be hard to automate can be done manually.

IaaC and good software packaging will help take care of your infra, but working with 3rd party managed services that may live outside of your cloud provider will vary. If the customers are paying a lot, it becomes worth the time to manually do those steps (after verifying that they can't be automated).

Let's pretend you can automate with IaaC and docker images (although any deployment style works). You can wrap that entire process into a script that will initialize and all perform tests against the infra/service.

I'm not too familiar with it outside of exam prep, but AWS (and probably the other big guys) offer the idea of an organization, which consists of multiple accounts. Makes for easier tracking, with strong isolation. Could be a route to go.

There's a lot of variables here, and as others have said, it's a tricky path. I also think it's an interesting problem and I hope you have fun solving it.
I wish they would push the calling aspect of Microsoft Teams more. The technology is great:

1. Receive business calls from anywhere and any handset or computer. Seamlessly transfer and pick up the call on any device. Can be linked to inbound 1800, 1300 numbers, landline numbers, etc.

2. Can do call forwarding, ring-out forwarding, and voice messages

3. Voice messages are recorded, transcripted and the audio file and text transcript emailed to you. In many cases you don't even need to listen to the audio

4. Users can have their own inbound phone numbers (!) and outbound phone numbers (!) and i.e. push these automatically into email signatures, all centrally managed from Microsoft 365 Admin

5. Teams Desk phones require just an ethernet connection to work, don't require any SIP HW or configuration, and can be hotdesked in a few seconds

But the real issue is that the commercialization of it was poor. Microsoft outsourced the phone switchboard part to third party providers/resellers of the Teams calling packs, and these are usually small to medium SMB that operate like used car salesman and have stupid pricing models, i.e. minimum 10 phone numbers or users (in Australia, anyway) or sell you like four differently named confusing calling packs and addons that nobody can understand.

In the case of Telstra, they wanted $5000 (!!) for a consultant to setup a $10/user/mo Teams calling plan and wouldn't let us take out an account without going through a setup consultant. Similarly, another big telco we talked to required a minimum order of around $200/mo. For goodness sake, it's a SaaS, you should be able to just go online and order it without talking to anyone. A novel product and great idea, with truly poor commercialization and ZERO regulation of their partner network and their allowed pricing models.
OK, you're right. But, that's an example of something that was indefensible at the time, and still indefensible.

We lost a lot of competence along the years.
Are people trying to get back into Womb state? I mean it's not just computers but everything.
On the other hand we have highly competent people who are unwilling to put in "the work" if someone does a half assed job for them. Even if they know they can do better with little more effort.

And then there are these ultra dedicated people who do everything to be independent from others to the point of social isolation.

What is happening?!
We should defend 4chan. /LGBT/ has been one of the most active boards there for over a decade. Calling /lit/ emotionally and mentally stunted is ridiculous. /fit/ is one of the most egalitarian venues on the internet.

People in this thread are reducing all of 4chan to a board meant not to be taken seriously (/b/) and a containment board intended to keep far-right conservative discussions off of other boards (/pol/). Then they're somehow contorting the offensiveness of what goes on at those two boards as evidence that they can't be counter-cultural because "true" counter-culture apparently can't be offensive?

The real difference appears to be they simply cover more ground in aggregate over the long run on their own steam because their physiology makes it calorically cheaper for them to do so compared to their peers.

IQ seems to correlate most strongly with working memory, though ones capacity for working memory doesn't seem to have much bearing on the mechanism behind the formation of new memories themselves. Building semantic memory requires repeated exposure.

What really matters is the rate at which the individual exposes themselves to learning opportunities. This appears to be a function of how rewarding it is to you, how expensive it is for you, and how much (or in some cases little) executive control you have.

Excuse my naive question, but is this something I should worry about at all in buying figs? I don’t mind the idea of eating insects but I’m trying to understand how noticeable this would be from a textural/visual/taste perspective.
Oh holy shit I eat a lot of that same Trader Joe’s fig brand. I am horrified…
