Merkel made very serious strategic mistakes that have cost Germany and Europe a lot and are still costing a lot. Russia, energy policy, open door policy on immigrants (which has played a part in precipitating Brexit), she got pretty much every important, strategic issue wrong.

> You're interjections are not what is being said or implied.

Then what exactly is being said?

"Biological is better than digital" is a qualitative statement, and all qualitative statements require reasoning. In xwdv's case, the reasoning is "it's a natural law", but that's just circular reasoning (or a logical fallacy known as "begging the question"). "It is because it is".

In other words, "I want it to be that way".

Content should be thought of as an investment, because the value it returns extends over many years: some of the most valuable and popular DigitalOcean tutorials were written over a decade ago. For that reason, losing people responsible for writing new tutorials is not going to have a negative impact on developers relying on their tutorials in the short term, rather, DigitalOcean will suffer years from now when they have competitors using the content vacuum to steal marketshare. Teams that are an investment in the future are the first to go in a difficult financial climate, it's natural, it doesn't really speak to DigitalOcean's attitude towards developers.
I got this message this morning as well.

Dropbox, like gmail, has been a service I've used for (feels like) 10+ years, and it's served me well enough to both PAY FOR IT, and ignore the warts (nagging me to use it for pics, passwords, constantly turning on 'online-only' mode when I explicitly disable it, etc).

Frankly, until today, it has just WORKED. To the point where half-a-dozen Mac apps sync configs to it.

Forcing a unilateral interruption to all their customer's workflows like this, while work-around-able, feels like the right time to re-evaluate keeping it at all.
Good feedback, thanks! Pagination through items would be a great addition and the gallery seems to be not loved, so will be re-evaluated.
> Spending it without other humans sounds like a recipe for disaster.

You mean spending it without YOU? Cause I do spend it with people. I get lunch with friends. I see my significant other and my cat. I don’t waste time commuting so I have more time for hobbies and family.
When my company did layoffs recently I got to peek behind the curtain a bit. It started with an all-hands video call from the CEO announcing the layoff. HR had loaded emails to send immediately following the call directly to your company email that either said "you are not fired" or "you are".

For those who were fired, infosec ran a script during the CEO call to pull their access packages for production systems, crank the data-loss protection systems on their laptops up to high, boot them from Slack, and prevent them from sending & receiving emails to non-HR folks. After their "fired" email they received an invite to talk with HR to provide updated contact information. Then infosec pushed a new password to their account & force shutdown their workstation.

If it sounds brutal, it was. But the layoffs I was involved at a previous company were handled much differently, more traditionally: CEO announcement at 9am, and then you spent the rest of the day agonizing and waiting if you're going to get a :15 private calendar invite from your manager titled "Employment", or if you'd make it to the end of the day with no news (good news!). I'd almost argue that moving fast was more merciful than this, but that's easy for me because I wasn't fired either time.
Thanks for the feedback, the gallery seems to be not well loved, so will be re-evaluated.
I might too, but only if I knew that's what I was doing.
> we just don't have the ability to vote

Well, you can ask your representative to represent you, right?

I live in a place with direct democracy and it's much less regulated than the UK. Therefore the link between having the ability and actually regulating more is not obvious to me.

> anti-democratic, and anti-capitalist to allow misinformation on products

Is it though? I mean, it might be bad, but I don't see how it's necessarily anti-democratic, as it has little to do with the governance model.
I have been hurt by issues similar to inc(&mut self) in the "Functional abstraction" section so many times. I have been considering using macros as a workaround, but so far I have just written the same code multiple times. DRY isn't easy in Rust.

There is no significant difference between "desktop" MacOS and laptop MacOS with respect to power management.

> How would someone convince the court that you never agreed to the TOS?

If you live in the US, it turns out that EULA (which TOS are a subset of) are completely valid: https://www.canlii.org/en/commentary/doc/2006CanLIIDocs118#!...

The argument that you provably never read the EULA is apparently no form of legal defense, which I personally feel shits upon the letter and the spirit of the law, but that's an unfortunate consequence of living in a society where business is the pinnacle of everything.

Now I live in Europe and that sort of shit absolutely doesn't fly here - EULAs are not enforceable.

> The PREEMPT_RT patchset reduces the kernel latencies as required by the most exacting workloads, helping to ensure time-predictable task execution.

Not the parent you're replying to, but this comment is very indicative of the problem being addressed. With an ICE car, or even a hybrid, this is just not a consideration. I don't need to plan my route around fuel stops unless I'm going somewhere well away from 'civilization'.

The issues described are not insolvable, but dismissing that they aren't currently solved is a little bit like sticking your head in the sand. Suggesting a better route planner just seems a little naive in that context.
Yeah, kind of a lesser of two evils sort of thing. Though immediate validation client-size would help. The best UX would be to just not have ridiculous rules like "cannot contain %"

I was referring more to the "cannot be the same as last 4" policy and things like really long password lengths (too long to expect a reasonable person to type in). If your max length is, say 500, you probably don't need to include it in a long list because a reasonable person would never hit 500.
Not having a screen is another blocker for self hosting some of the time.

It means you have to enable SSH with some file in a directory, then SSH in, make sure you have a strong password, turn SSH off when you're done, maybe copy and paste or SCP a key somewhere.

With a screen you don't depend on the state of anything else to do admin. Your more savvy relatives can install things for you without them needing the special paired remote admin app.

And of course, you can do "Scan to get started" QR setup.

Plus, in a real consumer self hosting scenario, it would make sense for the server to also be the smart display if you want one, to avoid needing more devices, and keeping the screen would mean developers don't have to explicitly code from both screenful and screenless setups, sometimes things that shouldn't depend on the screen do unnecessarily.

On Linux stuff works differently if you run as a service vs under the DE, because you're missing some environment variable that points to dbus or whatever, and you need extra work to get around it.
And what does that have to do with the new changes he pushed to have his tweets be in every single users' timelines?
Can you give more detail?

AFAIK frame pointers work fine for unwinding on aarch64.
And on aarch64 the gcc default is not to omit frame pointers and IIRC when the default was switched at some point it was treated as a bug and reverted (not sure if required in the ABI or just strongly preferred by the community). So IME generally unwinding with frame pointers on aarch64 works more often than on amd64 since you don’t have to recompile the world.

I see people holding these sorts of theories about Facebook algorithms, too. They tend to be entirely bullshit.

The folks taking their accounts private aren't doing any sort of scientific test, and there are folks who try it who don't see engagement go up. Unless you're somehow doing statistically significant tests with large groups of users, the same content, at the same time, there are an immense number of confounding variables here.
Same. keepass with the db on a cloud drive. keepass clients on both laptop and phone access the same cloud copy, and also each keep a local copy.

I intentionally don't let the clients integrate with the browser. I let the browser itself cache the unimportant stuff for convenience, and anything important I always paste from the password manager and have to get a code from the totp app also anyway.

I don't think anyone should use a fully 3rd party full featured password manager like lastpass or onepass.

I would say it is NOT better that they use that vs nothing. 'anything is better than nothing' is not true here. Some things are better than nothing, and some are not.
Never lose your 2FA backup codes or you're locked out of your account forever if you lose your 2FA device - despite support having a verification process to remove 2FA in the event you lost your codes - the support tickets are ignored or unmonitored.

I was also a happy DO customer for the last 5 years or so. But now I'm locked out of my account.

My fault for losing my codes (DO are the only backup codes I can't seem to find where I kept them... oddly they are not in my password manager) but they have a process in place for this and don't follow it. I'd be less annoyed if I was told it was my fault and there wasn't an avenue to receive support than being told I can go to support and then get ignored...

This is a cool idea, but it doesn't work very well right now. Based on the responses I got, it feels like I'm talking to one of those shitty virtual assistant chat bot things that just spit out canned responses.

Basically, it asked me what kind of software development I'm interested in, so I gave a very specific and detailed response, but what I got back was this:

> That's great! It sounds like you have a lot of experience and qualifications that could be useful in many different industries. Have you thought about exploring opportunities in the medical, finance, or education technology fields? These are all areas where software development is highly valued and there may be job openings for someone with your skillset. Additionally, I can provide you with a list of companies that usually hire people with your skill set in the United States.

That's completely generic and unhelpful. Also, it says I have a lot of experience, even though I never said how many years of experience I have. That's a minor nitpick, but it does make it feel more like it's not paying attention to anything I wrote.

So yeah, very rough implementation at the moment, but it's a solid idea. I hope you keep working on this because this seems like it might actually be able to improve the traditionally shitty online job hunting experience.
The part about the filesystem is completely ironic, because the C++ version of the same API uses no pointers at all.

> More serious music applications

I don't understand this perspective. I've seen musicians at all levels use all sorts of crazy instruments. The output of live audio processing may not be used in the final result, but it's very important for capturing a performance.

> not sure they are commonly used on linux or if it's wise running with low resources

Linux-based studios are the norm for many hobbyists and in educational settings where the goal is actually teaching and not just indoctrinating a new cohort of commercial software users. Also, who said anything about "low resources" and what does that even mean?
There is a problem with any legislative process that begins with the executive obligating the country to adopt certain specific laws, and only then asks the legislature whether those certain specific laws should become the law of the land.

I don't fully understand the logic of this kind of legislative process. If the EU can make it binding on member states to introduce a certain law, why not perform the entire process at an EU level? If there is some benefit to delegating the task, then why not include the possibility of a national veto at implementation stage, when the nation is more fully informed? It seems to be a process designed and intended to cause conflict and euroscepticism.

The source this article mentions doing the "reporting" has been single-mindedly focused on attacking Elon Musk's reputation ever since he took over Twitter and made it clear he was investigating the prior management's moderation decisions. They've been hunting down any and every disgruntled ex-employee they can looking for dirt and they have no appetite for any positive stories.

I'd take any of their claims with a huge grain of salt.
Are those languages newer than SQL? Did their designers know that SQL integration would eventually be needed? If so, then why didn't they incorporate the glue as part of their language design?

Not to mention planes are intentionally overbooked (at least here in the US I presume the same tactic exists to a lesser extent in places like Europe with presumably better consumer protections) to ensure they're flying as close to full as possible so you're constantly needing to access the larger booking information to rebook flights for people bumped or to see who's been moved on to your flight. Two weeks is way too long, a day is probably too long to have a fresh passenger manifest.

I agree that Ars Technica has an anti-Google stance, but in this case, it seems to be accurate, so I'm not sure what the problem is. The "privacy sandbox" on Android is opt-in… on the part of app developers, not users. If app developers want to track users with cookies and device IDs, they can still do that. It's not anything like what iOS does, where tracking is disabled unless the user opts in.

So yes, while the Ars Technica headline may be a bit hyperbolic, I think it's far closer to the truth than a headline which claims that Privacy Sandbox is comparable to ATT.

My experience has been that companies will either terminate effective immediately with some sort of severance, or they'll give a notice, where you're on the "books" with them as far as employment goes, but you'd surrender all work hardware and your account would be locked out. You're effectively laid off while you find another job. Your severance in that situation is the fact you're still on payroll for however long your severance period would be.
That's the marketing department and I would be shocked if they don't continue down that route unless they decide to pivot to a different target market.
Some physical keypads have a screen behind the keys to shuffle the positions of the buttons (e.g. [1]).
