They've certainly managed to rehabilitate their public image. Not gonna lie I'm very impressed by Satya's leadership in that respect. I would probably prefer old Microsoft that was transparently evil though, license fees are more honest than data harvesting. Of course we know now that the license fee strategy simply isn't viable given what happened to IBM, so I doubt we ever see a change of course.
> The current process for receiving a gender recognition certificate dictates that applicants have to be “medically diagnosed as having gender dysphoria, go through a minimum two year process and be aged over 18,” The Times reports. The reform bill no longer mandates medical evidence of gender dysphoria and lowers the age requirement to 16.

I dunno, sounds like a solid reason to have issues with it, having medical professional not be involved in the process sounds like travesty ripe for abuse and mishandling

I want to commend you for the detail and quality in the comments in your code.

These days that's a luxury. Open source projects tend to take the "and then a miracle occurs" approach to comments.

I'm old school, my comments look like yours; lots of detail, background and explanations, so I can easily get back into the code five or ten years later.
> can't read something like this and make their own judgements about it.

What is your judgement based on, intricate knowledge of explosives, experience of deepwater diving or training in black ops?

Because if you have none of those things, then no, you cannot form informed judgement. There hardly any difference between asking me, you, or a random child.

Sure, it's not like .NET is Googleable either though. I thought the fact that Microsoft uses the term Dotnet (obviously, only when necessary) was good enough.
Guess it’s becoming more human like sooner than expected.
Introduce just a little friction.

Philosophers have complained about the convenience of modernity for centuries, but it can be quite fun to live in a modern way via a slightly more wandering route. It's less about throwing away modern life and more about the challenge of embracing -only- the good bits.

Don't stream, take the time to choose a Blu-Ray or CD to buy. Use cash next time at a grocery store. Use a Palm Pilot or a Newton for your calendar and an Alphasmart for your writing. Write down directions off of Google/Bing/OSM and sketch a little map.

All of these paths interface fine with the modern world, but there's great interest and satisfaction in small extra effort. What's boring is infinite, all-you-can-eat mediocrity. Make it even 5% more challenging and you'll 1) enjoy the journey more and 2) find what you value because now you're pulling rather than receiving a push.
I actually think they've walked the line historically very well. I agree with you. I'm not criticizing their past decisions. They're wildly successful. I've purchased 4 Switches (between two people). The part I'm criticizing is that in hindsight I don't think the current gen Switch hardware specifically aged well. I want everything Nintendo has to offer in terms of product, I just don't want it to struggle to drive my modern 77" 4k OLED. Yeah I'm an edge case. I'm just saying it kinda sucks. Tiny violin I get it. If the Switch was marketed only as a handheld I wouldn't be saying anything. But it was marketed as a console hybrid that you plug into your tv. It's like the only TVs they accounted for were 42". I am pretty confident the next Switch or whatever it's going to be will fill the gap. I just wish they'd give me the option so that I could match one of their products to my display hardware a little better. Literally like "to the dev it's indistinguishable hardware the graphics look exactly the same but it can output 1440p@60fps" and to the consumer "it cost you $200 more sucker have fun". I'm just rambling now.

Back to the Steam Deck, I guess that's silver lining. I'm lamenting that my Switch can't really do what the steam deck can do because it does get a lot of indie/ports "attempts" they just kinda suck and especially when there's a PS5 sitting next to the Switch why would I hamstring myself. I'm happy the Steam Deck has spurred a bunch of gaming compatibility layer love. The industry's needed that. I have a pc for pc games, and a switch for console games (and a ps5). As cool as it looks, I don't see myself dropping money on a steam deck at the moment because I got a switch pro last year. Maybe the steam deck will force Nintendo to get a little more serious about hardware? One can dream.
My grandfather survived Pearl Harbor and became a B-25 pilot in one of those cohorts with an 80%+ casualty rate. As a kid, I enjoyed reading and hearing about his experiences. It made me proud of his service. But I'm not sure it lessened the stresses and anxieties I felt during my own adolescence. Years later when a close family member had a near death/should have died experience, that meaningfully altered my perspective on life - because I experienced it first hand.
We know that now, but in a major scientific misstep that I believe gives partial culpability to science for the widespread misbelief, is that first major study published in The Lancet showing hydroxychloroquine to be ineffective actually was full of statistical errors that were severe and it was retracted.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/lancet-retracts-l...

We now have better studies showing hydroxychloroquine to be ineffective, but the first study everyone went off of showing it to be useless... actually was bunk. And not just a little bunk, "A first-year statistics major could tell you about major flaws in the design of the analysis." This, of course, was a major help to conspiracies and confused doctors, as why would everyone be using such a flawed study to claim hydroxychloroquine is ineffective? I get why it would look political.
> PS. If you design software that works with money amounts, always use fixed point decimals. Don't use floats, it's just wrong!

Fundamental reason being that powers of 1/10 in decimal fractions are not always representable by powers of 1/2 in binary. Specifically 0.1 = 0b00011001100110011... is infinitely long binary string. Truncating it to any finite bit-width like 32 or 64 bits always introduces an error.
My top right is "lock screen", which is a handy gesture I can make when getting up.
I pick one thing I can obsess over with the intention to drop it when I’m bored of it or when I’m done achieving my goal . Current obsession is getting to a 1000 elo rating in chess. I can see myself in the future probably trying to get my 3x3 Rubik’s cube solve to 30 seconds or less.

Previously it was to be able to do all the daily nyt sudokus for the day in under 30 minutes.

The next thing I do after chess and maybe the cube will probably be something to do with the guitar I’ve had lying around for years which I know how to play at a basic level. Or maybe how to use some free DAW.

The commonalities here are: that every one of these is cheap and easy to pick up. It’s easy to set some concrete goal. It doesn’t actually require a huge investment of time. It’s a niche that has a community around it that I can interact with.

The reason this works for me in creating novelty in my days is because

- I get to discover stories and people I never knew of. During the sudoku phase I got to know of the folks behind cracking the cryptic and the whole sudoku championships stuff

- I get a new hobby where I get to enjoy that feeling of rapid progression one can get at the early stage (after which you run into the wall of hard work which can eventually take you from competent to expert)

- I get to have lots of new stuff I can talk about with others. Most people who’ve done some form of sudoku don’t know of theories like X wing or hidden pairs. So when we have a conversation and I talk about my current obsession of sudoku, it leads to questions like “wait I thought the only thing that makes sudoku harder is how many numbers there are hidden”. I have friends who like to geek out on stuff though. So this is very personal to me.

Worth noting that this is something that worked for me. Just sharing this in case it helps someone else.

One more thing outside all of this where it’s more a long term and somewhat expensive thing is doing sports as a community. I bought a bicycle recently and am finding more and more communities that are passionate about cycling. Getting to know them and their stories on a Saturday morning ride creates a lot of novelty on its own.
A shore is kind of like a hill, just wet.
Many in the SciTech world who would shrink at even the thought of legitimizing Psychoanalysis should know that Freud only developed his psychological theory after trying and failing to create an entirely physical explanation for cognitive processes (Cf. "Project for a Scientific Psychology", Standard Edition I, pg.283).

The entire field of Psychology would not exist if not for this failure, a failure which is also an admittance that something as dynamic as the internal processes of the mind can in the first place only be understood in a social context, and that socio-psychological context is always in a constant flux. So the first thing to analyze, then, is what social processes, unique among humans, lead to the development of the psyche? Clear as light in day, the first word ever spoken by every person on this planet is a simple bilabial plosive repeated with an open-back vowel, "mama", or any of the many other similar words which all are formed in the same way and all for the same reason, its the only word a baby can articulate, and the first thing a baby learns is that when it speaks this word, milk and comfort arrive. So for Freud, everything goes back to the mother. The further one gets from that original source of comfort, the more complex means they employ to try and return, ceaselessly failing, always repeating the same thing over and over again. This is the origin of all language, all logic, and all of human society for Freud.

Certainly, people still feel the need to see a therapist, and yet there is some hope among people who work in AI that following along the path we have been, one day the AI and Neural-Networks will somehow "match" human intelligence, when humans were never truly intelligent in the first place and always have had to employ some means of artifice for productive labor and the transmission of knowledge. No true advances will be made until we recognize that AI is an outgrowth of human logic and human social labor, which, at the moment, somehow seems as though it will dominate us, even though it is our own creation.
We're missing the time component right now. It's still recent tragedy.
I love KDE too, and the Qt apps.

I'm not even sure if the toolkit is better but the whole philosophy of giving as many options and choices as needed is a breath of fresh air in this day where opinionated design is so popular due to people copying Apple.
That's correct, it seems the op was making at least an adjacent argument of critique of capitalism and how it affects people's access to information (or technology-as-information, such as "guide on how to get a filmic look when editing video").

I support people undercutting businesses in their marketing post comment sections with Free as in beer or freedom solutions to achieve whatever's being sold. I believe in the ethicality of Free as in Freedom software, for one thing, but also in general information freedom. I feel gross about knowledge hoarding.

If you're a fan of capitalism, I think you should agree with me. Capitalist minded people can try to use Free software to extract labor for no cost (jokes on you, we extract your engineer's labor at cost to you when they get frustrated and start making commits at work), and Free software comes with other advantages. Furthermore, if you're investigating solutions to your business need to do filmic solutions, isn't it nice that there are hordes of us weirdos ready to help prevent you from spending money unnecessarily? If you're trying to sell filmic solutions, isn't it nice to be challenged on your business model publicly and specifically rather than scratch your head at poor sales with no idea how to add value?

Sidenote I was reminded of this comedy video: https://youtu.be/9kaIXkImCAM "Interview with an FFMPEG Enthusiast"
According to their analysis, Windows XP doesn't even know what the word "telemetry" means: the first DNS traffic from the freshly-installed OS was to try and contact the Windows Update service, and that's all. No market research, no browsing tracking, nothing at all.

Windows from that era was indeed absolutely quiet, and the first-boot experience from a fresh install was basically a "blank slate". It just sat there on the desktop without doing anything, and waited for you, the user, to do something with it.

Now the first-boot experience comes with disturbingly creepy patronising messages, a start menu filled with ads, and immediate "notifications" which are even more ads, and while that's happening, it's doing tons of stuff in the background that they probably don't want you to know about. All of this "modern" stuff just has a very repugnant aesthetic, and acts like you're not the user, but an unknowing idiot to be milked for $$$. I guess MS saw how much spyware many users would eventually install themselves, and wanted to get their suck of the sav.
Right but at that point you're not doing your job and should leave.

And also some mods think it's their job to delete stuff that was self-moderated by downvotes anyway which is just silly in the first place.
They are just explaining how their life as novelty. I didn't read it as a direct recommendation.
Hugo with the Docsy theme.
Storage volumes can be much cheaper. For instance, Backblaze B2 will run you around $6/TB/mo, IIRC. And some providers (usually the smaller ones) have discounts for bulk purchases (e.g. a year). Many self hosted apps support cloud storage.

Do you have advice stemming from your move from salaried life into freelancing? I started my career freelancing, but now a decade-ish later, freelancing seems both enticing (a way to find the "I work when I say I work, not when someone expects me to work" balance 4-day workweeks kinda get at, but also not really, and also a way to perhaps more freely select for problem spaces that interest me vs. whatever is the current VC hype train), but also terrifying (because I recall there being non-trivial overhead on the "business end", there's no long-term stability, there's not even really short-term stability in the sense of "I have bills and debts to pay that are not exactly negotiable", etc)

Love seeing such a similar quip about team vs solo work here. I find I get much more done when free to just explore and do what makes sense to me on a given day vs. whatever is someone else's priority item, and when I can use all the tools I choose (vs the tools someone else chooses for me).

lol, you gotta admit these were some harebrained ideas that he got over. The lessons amount to "learn to chill," probably because he has gotten a bit older (and yep, looks like he's in his 20s). In coming years he'll be writing about the importance of family, paying attention to physical health, and spending time in nature. Universal revelations for humans as they enter their 30s.
I’m not upset that someone points out open source alternatives! But I do think your don’t have a criticism of our business model, but business models in general, which is silly and off-topic.
I need larger monitors. Even a 16" monitor feels cramped to me, which either increases eye strain from high resolution, or mental load from having to visualize the things that aren't on the screen. Even if it's just an extra inch, that can reduce mental load for me by a lot. Make that a 24" monitor and it feels practically liberating.

But definitely only one, MAYBE two if I'm doing a fullscreen thing on one of them like media.

What's your reason for excluding the biggest one of all: greenhouse gases released by human activities. It sounds like you are just artfully denying global warming by that omission, without saying it outright.

> On the other hand, I bet there are plenty more vulnerabilities in Windows 11 that still haven't been discovered yet.

There probably are, but I'd rather have a bunch of vulnerabilities that nobody knows about yet, and that will be patched once people do learn, than slightly fewer vulnerabilities that everyone is constantly trying to exploit and that will be there forever.
I just got this set up - it parsed ~5000 photos (half raw, half jpg) surprisingly quickly on my laptop. As stated by others, I wish I could look at certain days more easily. The share function is very cool, though - an easy way to showcase your photos to others.
I noticed it on the Culturelle Gummies but now see you and others pointing out that this study refers to a particular strain which is different than the gummies.
The JVM is very robust and the language has improved considerably if your prior experience was a while ago. By now there are robust libraries for most things, IDE support, etc. but you’ll find odd gaps around packaging, formatters, etc. because there are so many entrenched groups with different goals who haven’t coalesced on common answers the way, say, much of the Python community has settled on Black.

The two challenges I’ve encountered basically come back to there being two distinct communities: “Java that doesn’t suck” and “Enterprise Java™”. It is very easy to get people who learned enough Java 6 to get a CRUD job at a bank or government contractor, and they’ll give you an app with a ton of snarled, fragile code and a dependency stack deep enough to make a Node developer wince. It’s harder to find good developers since on paper both of them will look the same to HR — IT or CS degree, 10-15 years of experience, AWS experience, etc. — so you’ll have more work filtering than you would with non-default languages.

I personally do not have any photo comments but I suppose the software can handle it. From https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos#command-line-referenc... I think it will support exporting XMP metadata files with photo comments. Then from https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/use-cases/apple/ I think PhotoPrism will correctly import descriptions in XMP files.
Plot twist: our culture is defined by our collective values, not by our leaders. Leaders who tap into narratives of victimhood are only enabled to rise because enough of us like to see themselves as an aggrieved victim of oppression. Including those who see culture as something imposed on them by leaders and see themselves as a victim of cultural wars.

People are nostalgic about bad 90s web design, but I don't think anybody is arguing that it's superior to anything newer. I can't imagine that people will look bad fondly on cookie banners, intrusive ads, janky page layout shifting, or anything else that I consider a hallmark of modern web design.

Fortunately, it still works on T-Mobile for VOLTE (Voice Over LTE). Apparently AT&T and Verizon never whitelisted the XZ1 models for the feature, despite the fact that they work just fine. Thankfully I use Google Fi so I'm already on T-Mobile.
No, I think things are also worse but you have to understand there is a generation coming of age that never experienced paying for an operating system or really even paying any kind of substantial price for software of any kind. To them it would absolutely be worse to pay for software but not have it harvest your data. Most people aren't very cognizant of the data harvesting.

The President sets the strategy for all of the combatant commands through the National Security Strategy and ultimately every military action has a line drawn to the President through the SecDef. Saying POTUS doesn't have away over the other COCOMs is misleading at best.
