> regularly when I only talk about things with a friend

I've read the other good responses to what you've said, but nobody said this:

it is very easy to become part of a trend or fad without realizing it. Like you could have an avocado toast at your local cafe and fall in love with avocado toasts without realizing that the cafe is already part of a national avocado toast trend. So you only talked about that avocado toast with one friend on your weekly wilderness hike, yet somehow google suggested you might like avocado toast.

mentioning it because in this case there is no direct link, but it isn't coincidence either. So many things I've fallen in love with and taken up turned out to take off in a trend, but I didn't cause the trend nor notice that's how I heard about it.

The Teams UI and UX enforce private conversations and discourage public collaboration. That, as a result, drives silos and organizational dysfunction.

I suspect the UX design is a result of how Microsoft itself is organized.
For what it's worth, I did the same self-experiment at various times in my 20s and early 30s. I got the same result: none of the headaches, grumpiness, lack of focus, etc., which I'd heard people experience going through caffeine withdrawal.

I came to the same conclusion as you: in the same way that I don't notice a significant uptick in energy when I drink coffee, maybe I also don't get the withdrawal when I stop. Maybe some people are just weird like that?

Then I did the same thing in my early 40s, and the headaches started on the second day. It was pretty bad actually, and I understood what people meant when they talked about an actual, physical withdrawal period. So, now I think it's just metabolism (or some other characteristic that changes with age), rather than a blanket immunity to the effects.
Most state universities cost nothing near this, especially if you discount room and board.

You need to live somewhere and eat, so it’s not sensible to include those costs with the cost of college.
Star Trek seems to be a good starting point, but the most obvious parts - space travel, phasers, teleporters - might actually be the least interesting in this context. Here are the parts that stand out to me.

* Energy so abundant it might as well be infinite.

* Instant availability (via replicator) of any food, with infinitesimal environmental or ethical concerns about its production.

* Universal translation.

* Instant diagnosis of injury or disease, and often instant treatment to go with it.

It's noteworthy that none of these involve robots, or necessarily even AI (though that might definitely help with the last two). To be honest, I'm not convinced those technologies will lead to more good outcomes than bad ones. Certainly not with the people currently driving and hyping it. I'll take the boring old physical-world improvements over that dystopia incubator any day.
Mine over 6 years: Door seal tore and it leaked water on the floor.

Keeps sucking in a sock or whatever and jamming the drain pump. When this happens, your clothes can be trapped unless you have another pump to drain it (or want to unlock the door to a total deluge of water). Clearing the drain pump is a pain because many/most models aren't built with an access port. The screws on mine for the access port are so close to the floor I need to use cardoor entry air bags to lift the thing up.

I suspect a sock once made it passed the drain pump, but clogged the sanitary drain requiring a plumber to unclog (couldn't snake it myself).

The above issues just don't happen in top-loaders.

I also suspect the high-speed spin cycle will lead to premature failure. Clothes do come out dryer, but I hang dry anyway. Water's plentiful where I am.
Unfortunately, it does not have Greek characters.
I've been using PyTorch + CUDA on native Windows without much problems for a few years now.
I wonder how they named it...

Other half alseep dev - "what about Sidney Crosby?"

First went there 10 years ago. I'd never seen people defecating in the street before.

I've lived in the middle east, so I've lived in places with a lot of history. That is interesting in its own way of course.

But SF is interesting because it's where the future exists.

A 15% price increase in ~12 years on a finite, depleting resource seems pretty reasonable (if not excellent), especially when considering inflation in that time period is over 30%.
Yet another boilerplate library for Python
The only one I can think of is the fire codes that require you to add a full sprinkler system to an existing house if you do any modifications to it.

Which means you do nothing and have no sprinklers.
> It should be forbidden to forbid.

That sounds a bit extreme, do you feel that way in all things (murder, theft, slavery,...) or only in terms of limiting the harm entities can cause through distribution of closed-source software?

Personally I feel like forbidding things is fine. It won't prevent bad things from happening, but it can protect us humans from our own psychological weaknesses. I think of antitrust legislation as an example.

My high schools first period started around 7:20. Not as bad a 6, but still too early IMO.
Sure but for a lot of libraries that just doesn't make sense. Like I get that you can give any library an RPC and call it a day but with 90% of the libraries I work with on a daily basis, requiring that you call it over the network just adds unnecessary complexity, kills ergonomics of use, and adds latency.

As an engineer I'm not going to use an RPC to do an FFT, populate a native UI, access some device, or manipulate a datastructure. Instead I'll just use a tool/library that does what I need while staying in the application's address space.

The disconnect I think is that I work on a lot of embedded software and native applications. In the world I am in, the hoops needed to allow a library to bypass the GPL just mean that I'm not going to use that library and that I'll do everything in my power to keep leadership from using projects with that kind of pointless failure mode.

The same goes for web apps though. If it's delivered to the client and executed by the client, it can just be GPL. They have a copy of the code and are running it. They already have to have access to a copy of the source. AGPL provides no additional protections here.

AGPL has it's place and that place is server side software. If you are writing software that the user directly interacts with and that is running on hardware the user can physically touch, the AGPL provides you no added benefit. If that's not the case, you should certainly feel free to step the license up to AGPL but there's no reason to artificially complicate license compatibility when you already know that it wouldn't be feasible for a user/developer to use your software without complying with the GPL.
Been using it forever. No problems except skipping some windows versions like Vista and Win 8.
I took an optional extra class at 630. It wasn’t bad; I just went to sleep earlier to compensate.
This is what my high school did and it worked great. That extra hour of sleep in the morning as a high-schooler was crucial to me getting 7-8 hours a night.

It's better for students and for parents. You just need to have adequate afterschool programs for grade school kids until their parents get off work.
I thought that's uutils now, and maybe alias for the (subjective?) better defaults?
I fly back and forth from Australia fairly often and it always gets bumpy south of Hawaii -- the worst was a thousand-foot drop that threw people around the cabin. I always keep my seatbelt on when transiting that area!
Vkd3d is only going to get better, and it's pretty darn good right now. I'm okay with Microsoft just sticking with D3D12 for a very long time. I use it to play lots of games on Linux. :D
Probably too late to change now, but I wish the term ‘rendering’ wasn’t used to describe completely different things.

Server side rendering is about dynamically generating HTML code. Client side rendering generates DOM objects in memory, and only rarely generates HTML strings. And then there’s actual rendering, which generates pixels on a display.

People who aren’t familiar with web development often conflate these concepts.
I think you are taking the missteps of perpetually online companies like Amazon and Facebook and conflating that too much with the wider economy.

Did the tech sector screw up, yes... That is nothing new for them... the local psychic has a better track record at predicting the future than the Tech Sector

Do I believe the problems in the tech sector are indicative to the wider economy. No. NYC, Silicon Valley, and other Extremely "Hot" cities may have an outsized downturn, and a commercial collapse but I know people that live in those places do not like to admit it we here in "Fly Over Country" do exist, and have huge amounts of economic output. increasingly so based on the Investments in Ohio, Michigan, Texas, and other states.

The economic shift may be less WFH and more Shifting to other regions of the US as CA, and NY collapse

too difficult to click on many mice without also moving the wheel, imho.
I think the interesting thing about this is the size of it. In other threads there was a lack of awareness how big some of these are - I suspect people Google and see the small weather balloons that can carry a couple of pounds of payload.

This is orders of magnitude bigger.
I only really use mouse when playing video games. I don't play competitively, but still am relatively good at end-game contents. I only use mice without side buttons. There's nothing like a frustration of accidentally pressing useless buttons when you are doing complicated game mechanics and have something unrelated happen, like popping some dialog that wants you to adjust sound volume or some other nonsense.

In work-related settings, sometimes I need to use my mouse when using virt-manager, when I have to do something with some GUI elements of the company's product, but that's exceedingly rare. Most of my work has no use for mouse at all.

Sometimes, I see people editing text with mouse, and it's the same feeling you get when you watch someone play chess or some other board game, making a wrong move. It's really hard to resist the temptation of showing them how to do that thing they are doing, but better.

Similarly, none of the things OP is programming their mouse to do are things I'd ever want to use, eg. I don't have a window under cursor because I don't use a windowing DE, I don't need to swing my mouse in shapes to switch desktops: I have no need for that feature either / it's not a thing with tiling DEs. The way OP describes using their computer just sounds painful to me.

I mean, I was hoping to find some sort of use for the mouse in my daily life, but this article further convinced me that it belongs with the rest of the gaming gear.
This entire concept of having directx in WSL sounds like Embrace Extend Extinghish, all over the place. This means we will have some linux programs only running in WSL. This is fucked.

> libd3d12.so and libdxcore.so are closed source, pre-compiled user mode binaries that ship as part of Windows. These binaries are compatible with glibc based distros and are automatically mounted under /usr/lib/wsl/lib and made visible to the loader.

Mesa is a freedesktop project and this is not the freedesktop I was imaginating.
and why anyone would allow windows to touch their hardware directly ?! it belongs ( at best ) inside a QEMU/KVM vm.
There have been some interesting experiments in this regard, like the Plan 9 operating system (Built by Rob Pike and Ken Thompson).

It doesn't matter, but programming pop culture says it's better to use a "fast" implementation rather than a "slow" one, regardless of what you're doing and what you need.

> Some entities are afraid copyleft would lock them out of profitable business models

It would lock them out of profitable business models, so they make a perfectly rational decision, as a business, to not use it. You can call that fear if you like, and I can call that "abuse of semantics" :)

> I don't want to be unpaid labor, I don't want people to recast being unpaid labor in terms of promoting freedom, and I damned well don't want people calling the licenses that keep me from being unpaid labor "fascist" as they did down-thread from here in this very discussion.

That's completely fair. If you develop open source code and you want to license it as copyleft, go ahead. It's your code.

The flip side is that if I develop an open source project, I'm free to make it MIT or whatever because I think the contributions of large companies to my project are valuable. Yes, they can make enhancements and not share them with me. But in practice, they will often merge them into my project because maintaining their own fork is expensive.

On the other hand, if I have to make my code copyleft because it uses your code, they will almost certainly not use or contribute to my code at all, because that would require theirs to be copyleft as well. Therefore I don't use or contribute to your code.

My decision not to use copyleft code isn't based on fear. It's because I know it will take my project in a direction I don't want it to go, and make it unusable for people who I would like to use it.

As for being unpaid labor, that's a personal choice as well. I don't care about it, personally. I'm working on my project either way, because I want to. It's no skin off my nose if somebody else finds a way to make money from it. The minute working on it becomes a burden, I'm free to stop.

I’m curious if not drinking coffee is associated with getting a caffeine fix from less healthy sources (sodas, energy drinks) and if that is a potentially confounding factor.
A lot of that is protectionism/regulatory capture being wielded as a weapon by the dinosaur carriers. Your frustration and problems are by design, unfortunately.

I'm more concerned about this than porn. I think everyone at least kind-of knows what porn isn't real, just as people know video games aren't real, or movies. Not saying these things can't affect people in various ways (which can be both positive and negative), but social media is presented as if it's real but it's often not, and the effects of this seem much worse.
Coffee is a poor substitute for actual calories. I tried 0-caloire and caffeine substitutes for food. none work that well.

Sounds like it would be really, really easy to filter out these trolls if Texas courts weren't simply corrupt. I wonder how the payment for these judges is arranged.

I’m a fan of mapping mouse buttons to forward/back navigation, copy/paste, and next/previous tab (ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab in most browsers).
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a system trained on human data is as susceptible to social engineering attacks as humans (or, at least in this case, even more susceptible). It's like when a guy with a fake FBI badge shows up at your door and you blindly take their word for it.
Great, we don’t have to change anything then! Thanks, capitalism!
I'm headed this way, too, minus the tablet. As my joints are getting older, I'm finding the hand movements involved with using a mouse or trackpad to be more and more painful. I've been trying to go keyboard-only, but it's incredible the number of applications these days, not to mention the operating system's UI, that require the pointer because they don't have keyboard shortcuts (or even a way to use the keyboard) for more and more application functions.

I remember DOS applications and many early Windows applications could be navigated entirely by keyboard. I think Microsoft's developer docs once strongly urged developers to not make things mouse-only because 1. people may prefer the keyboard and 2. not everyone has a mouse.

The web is even worse. So many web sites can't even seem to grasp the concept of tab-ordering, let alone support keyboard-only operation.
Another N=1: I consistently need less sleep when I drink 1 dose of caffeine each day. I used to need 9 hours of sleep a night, now I'm no longer extraordinarily fatigued with 6-7 indefinitely.

I only came into my caffeine habit in my mid 30s, and the change was pretty dramatic and immediate.

Whether I'm slowly killing myself by not sleeping enough is another question entirely that I only wish I knew the answer to.
I'm fine with people not using copyleft licenses.

I'm fine with people stating they don't use copyleft licenses.

I'm not fine with people spreading FUD about copyleft licenses.

I'm, in a broader sense, not fine with people spreading FUD that Just So Happens to align with the business interests of companies.
Something funny I recently discovered: If you map user overlap on Reddit, all the anti-porn subreddits end up highly correlated with strongly religious Christian subreddits, Catholic ones especially. Not the good empathetic progressive ones either, but the "tradcath" socially conservative ones that are anti-LGBT and still think unmarried adults having sex is bad and openly advocate for rewriting the Constitution to make the US a de jure Christian nation that rejects secular values.

The chatter about the supposed harms of pornography and masturbation basically never originate from the medical science community, or from a scientific domain at all.

Ever since I've put these pieces together I take anyone that comes along going on about how they think porn is so bad with a monumental grain of salt.
For a very long time in my life, I used to have a cup of coffee before going to bed on cold days. Over time, people convinced me this was bad for me, and I stopped doing that. But sometimes, I can't resist and drink coffee at night. I sleep like an angel, as if I just drank some milk.
Not where I grew up. Sports teams, theater and music programs were all funded equally. All extracurriculars came with fees and fundraisers. One of the gym teachers, also the basketball coach, was useless if the team was likely to make a playoff run. One of the English teachers, the theater director, was equally useless during the weeks leading up to a performance.

I thought the GGP was being unfair to athletics. Scholastic athletics are a necessary outlet for a lot of kids, as are theater and music. If you are going to do away with one of them, do away with all of it.

Maybe in certain areas of the USA (Texas, the deep south) you get an excess of public money going to athletics, in which case GGP has a valid point. But that wasn't my experience.
Does anyone know how this will work for us folks hosting ourselves? Do we set up a new instance of a sliding sync server, with it's own DB and all that, or do we wait for it to all get integrated into the existing Docker deploy somehow? I'm really excited to hop on the new ElementX client ASAP, which will apparently not work with anything but sliding sync.

The problem with IE was that they basically stopped after IE 6. The innovation was from before. After the release of IE 6, the IE team was basically disbanded, because MS thought they had won the browser wars (which at the time, they had). That was in 2001. IE 7 was only released in 2006, over five years later. And in 2008 Google released the first version of Chrome.

I don't worry about manager:IC links. Where it gets problematic is manager -> manager -> product -> frontend ux reqs -> backend team lead/pm -> ICs. There enough broken telephone there to make building the right thing challenging even if someone along the chain had a crystal clear vision. Multiply that by factors if you have to co-orndinate changes with one of more other company reporting chains.

The biggest problem I see are 'generic' managers who don't really understand the customer, product+changes, and/or tech. They just want to seem important while being an ineffective relay that basically only serves upward.

Is this a standard coffee dose? Maybe I'm just sensitive to caffeine, but a two-cup day generally ends with me being jittery before a crash.
