The problem with library DVDs is that people treat optical media like crap. They get their greasy grubby cheeto encrusted fingers all over them when handling them. Then they use them as coasters or throw them in a pile in the corner of their bedroom.

Many of the library DVDs I've seen are full of fingerprints, deep scratches, and other blemishes. I am not getting all that mess in my Blu Ray player, or finding out that it's unplayable 60 minutes into a movie.
not you, for sure ;)
>That's the problem with drugs. They're just not safe in the same way. No matter how hard the addicts cope.

They're not safe because they're illegal and, as such, society can't impose quality/dosage controls.

That said, not everyone should use various drugs. And that generally varies by individual.

Humans have been documented (through archaeological finds) to have been using mind altering substances for 10,000 years. And likely, much, much longer.

And we're (that's a general 'we') not going to stop. The solutions of course, are quality controls, ingredient disclosure/purity and quality information about such substances being broadly available.

But that's never going to happen as long as we encourage a black market for those substances. We've been going about all this (which is nothing new) ass-backwards, IMHO
people are sensitive on the honey topic, but since I learned how hard it was to distinguish natural honey from fake honey (you need NMR or something), I've just been wondering why don't we all just use cheap fake honey?
When my oldest kid was young, I was on Linux. I tried a few times to get it to work so I could play with him but never could get it to run quite right. Because I couldn't play with him, Roblox itself became a constant source of arguments. Hours-long shouting and crying kind of arguments. All discussion was around Robux and the ridiculous money-grabs everywhere in the ecosystem. For years, I absolutely hated Roblox because of it.

When my youngest started playing, my older kid immediately got through to him to forget about Robux and just play the games. By then, I was back on Windows and was able to play with him. We have tons of fun as a nightly routine and he's even using Roblox Studio to build cool stuff and even does a little bit of programming. I absolutely love it.
Ok, but please don't take threads into well-trodden grooves of repetition. It's not interesting.

Microsoft has always been terrible at naming; it seems to be part of their DNA. The only time their products have good names is when they buy those products from someone else and keep the name (e.g., Powerpoint).
This is a pre-compiled distribution of Coreboot with the aim of sticking as close to free as in freedom philosophy.

Most importantly it identifies devices, which can be booted with as little involvement of non-free blobs (binary large objects) and pre-configures coreboot to support exactly that use-case, whilst enabling features off by default in Coreboot like CMOS settings. Also it disables the Intel Management engine, not by patching it out, but by booting in a way which does not require it to load in the first place, if possible. Depending on architecture, like some laptops with Core2 and some server boards like any AMD processor from the Bulldozer era can be booted off-of firmware images, which contain no black-box blobs from the manufacturer or parts, which cannot be recreated from FOSS code. Most crucially, this also includes μCode updates.

So it could be seen as a tradeoff in stability and performance to get close to the ideal of extending FOSS into the realm of Hardware.
I’m smart enough to fix a race condition, but why would I spend a hour debugging when ChatGPT can find the issue in 10 seconds. Sure it might not be perfect, but having some initial code to fix the issue is a huge time save.

Making ChatGPT write a whole app is problematic because small issues are hidden by the large quantity of generated code. Having ChatGPT fix an issue in your own code is comparatively easy to spot check for correctness.

> Also, a brief refresher: lying about someone is defamation. If you defame people's performance and cause them to lose money you are personally liable for damages.

Genuinely curious: do you have an example of a manager who was personally held financially liable after firing an employee? I couldn't find an example in some brief Googling, but IANAL and I'm curious if this is even a possibility.

Even if it is possible, though, it seems... pretty stupid, frankly: you'd get a much higher payout from suing the company rather than the manager directly, and the manager could use corporate policy as a shield. Plus, in most organizations, HR is the one who pulls the trigger, not the manager; so who really fires you? HR could have always vetoed after all, or anyone else further up the management chain. Seems like it'd be very tough to prove that a single direct manager was unilaterally responsible for damages.

Anyway, this is why most medium-and-larger organizations now have documented processes with PIPs and such. As long as there's a paper trail, you as an employee don't have much of a chance of winning a lawsuit, even if you feel like you were fired due to your manager being an asshole.

Interesting questions. What do you think?
I learned this when I read Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. He talks about why the richest people in history all were born around the same time. This is a direct quote " On a list of the 75 richest people in history, which includes names from Cleopatra to Warren Buffet, an astounding fourteen Americans appear, all of them were born within nine years of each other." "Many familiar names appear on the list, like Andrew Carnegie (born in 1835), J. P. Morgan (born in 1837), and John D. Rockefeller (born in 1839)" He also talks about the tech people such as: Steve Jobs: 1955, Bill Gates: 1955...

Only if you insist on buying the latest generation. It matters little to the 50+, who have enough life experience to, in general, not be the people who fall into the trap of buying the latest and greatest. To participate in gaming at the 'high end', you need a newish Playstation or XBox, or PC equivalent. Anything beyond that is an indulgence, and competing with lots of things for our discretionary spending. Gaming today is incredibly cheap compared to hobbies in the 80s. To those of us who remember when those primitive game consoles and TVs cost hundreds of 80s dollars and computers cost thousands of 80s dollars, the cost of the latest gen video cards seems rational, but common sense and frugality that comes with retirement planning means we don't buy them unless there is spare cash to burn.
The author states: "All praise to the moderation algorithm."

"Algorithm" is becoming some sort of online pop culture buzzword.

According to the dictionary, algorithm means a rule or a set of rules for solving a problem.

Restated without buzzword: "All praise to the moderation rules".

Maybe we should praise the people who actually do the moderation.

"Google and YouTube approach content moderation the same way all of the other tech giants do: paying a handful of other companies to do most of the work."

""I understand the content I will be reviewing may be disturbing," reads the document, which is titled "Acknowledgement" and was distributed to employees using DocuSign.

"Facebook, Google-owned YouTube, and Twitter uphold content moderation as a key component in the fight against abuse of their services by actors such as Russian operatives and violent extremists. In the past couple years, the companies have hired through outsourcing firms thousands of moderators, who watch or read traumatic posts about suicides, mass murders and child pornography, and must quickly make a decision about whether to leave them up or take them down based on whether they violate the companies' policies."

Because orbital telescopes can stay up there for years.

> You upset them so deeply that they respond by unleashing the incredibly vicious-yet-perceptive tirade that they’ve been stewing on since the incident, reducing you to tears. Congratulations on hiring someone in the bottom ~2% of professionalism? At least your conscience can be clean at this point I guess.

"Well your reaction was bad, so it doesn't matter what I did"

This sort of discounts what the manager did to piss the person off, and if it's a recurring thing. A tirade isn't usually the first response. Maybe consider that you've overlooked some cues leading up to it.

Except neither Oracle nor its apparent descendants are relational. In fact, Oracle no doubt “won” at the time because it strayed from the relational model.
> Consider this: it adds unnecessary cognitive load. When trying to think of a word, it comes to you in four different languages, which isn't helpful!

This has been my experience as well. My native language is English, and I do just fine in it. But I've also studied a couple other languages, and when I try to put together sentences, whatever word is closest sometimes pops out.

I almost never find myself accidentally sticking English words into sentences, but I will frequently mix words from my second and third languages. It's brutal.

A friend of mine whose languages are Japanese, English, Spanish and Korean (in that order) told me that learning the third language is the hardest. Once you figure out how to stick to just one language at a time, learning more languages is a lot easier.
You are probably better off ignoring Apples built in Window management controls unless you really like the way “Spaces” work. I find them too restrictive. Same with the green icon “full screen” mode.

yeap and we should sue individual employees for lying about estimates and delivery dates and making false promises. We should sue when the technical design isn't right and not delivered on time.

I was ready to give up until I realized that maybe "internal sensor" means Windows Hello on my machine and yep it does. But no real user is going to click through these security sensitive popup dialogs until Windows Hello shows up as an option. My verdict is that it's still clearly only for techies.
And when I cancel the dialog it prompts me to "setup my security key". Just terrible ui, nonstop popups.

Edit: Firefox shows me the Windows Hello option immediately, that should be the default on desktop.

> Since federal law applies everywhere, marijuana is still technically illegal everywhere in the US.

But also Congress has forbid the federal government from spending to interfere with state medical marijuana laws, which federal courts have (with slight variations in details between the Circuit Courts) ruled prohibits not only direct actions against states, but also prosecutions of private parties for acts consistent with (and, in at least one Circuit, even in technical violation of) state medical marijuana laws. While this does not cover non-medical use, it does put a significant practical “asterisk” to the idea that marijuana is illegal everywhere in the US.

> It’s fascinating, however, that under three presidents spanning both parties, the federal authorities have given up on enforcing the ban in states that have removed marijuana laws from their own books.

That would be quite interesting, but nothing like that has actually happened. The reason we have a conflict in circuits on the scope of the funding restrictions is that the feds have continued to prosecute marijuana violations, even in states which have legalized some or all marijuana use, and even for acts which are closely connected to those states medical-use rules. (The First Circuit decision on the scope of the prohibition is from 2022.)
My point is not that management is bad & doesn't care, but that management has different priorities & cares about different things than the people using the app.

All of us have talked on this thread about all the things PD is bad at, but few have come to the defense with a list of things its great at.

The sales pitch, I am sure, to management is more along the lines of - metrics, dashboards, reports, "accountability", response times, yada yada.. and because management write the checks, I'm sure thats an area they do deliver.
That’s a nice looking site…

Does anyone know a low-effort way of making something similar?

The point is that when switching OSs you are going to run into lots of places where the new OS does things differently that what you are used to. Your choice is to fight the new OS and try to keep doing things the way you are used to or embrace the new OS and learn some new workflows.

That doesn’t mean adopting everything or abandoning everything, just try to be flexible and try some different things out. Just because it is different doesn’t mean it is broken.

For window management there are dozens (at least) third party tools that add features like snap window. Try some out to see what you like. Rectangle, Magnet, Moom, BetterSnapTool come to mind but here are others.

You're right, but for $173mm in funding, you'd think you could build a product for external users that's at least feature parity with a "cooked up" internal project.
My brother's new Tesla cost $76,000 more than my used Fiat 500. The fiat gets something like 26mpg in the city and 34 on the highway. If gas is $5/gal, then it's going to be 400,000 miles or so before the cost of gas equals the $76,000 price differential.

(It occurs to me I didn't even factor in the cost of the electricity to pay for miles his Tesla drives.)

I'm also driving a car with about half to one fourth the environmental impact to construct (if you think the impact is proportional to the construction cost)

I'm about 60,000 miles into owning the car and aside from typical maintenance and a fuel recirc solenoid that had to be replaced, it's not been that expensive to operate.

It has the benefit that no one seems to want to steal it, so my anti-theft package is just to park it next to a Mercedes or BMW.

My battery has never spontaneously ignited and it doesn't cost $24k to replace every xxx-thousand miles.

But it's not all roses, I don't get to ride in the HOV lane, but that's fine. I'm a socialist and prefer the HOV lane be used for HOVs which are CONSIDERABLY more eco-friendly than ANY single-occupant electric or hybrid.

My Fiat is pretty peppy for an ICE vehicle, but yes, not nearly as good at low end torque as EVs. But it's much better than the '71 VW bug I learned to drive on.

But I think my point is... the upfront cost and TCO differentials between ICE and EVs make it difficult to support the argument "EVs are cheaper than ICEs"

They will be, someday. But that day is not now and that vehicle is not a Tesla.
And this works pretty well, there's flickering on screen, but it is switching graphics. Maybe there's also some mouse stuttering or something as threads are moved to the active chiplet. This basically seems like AMD's version of big.LITTLE, except there's only a cache and frequency difference between cores, not altogether different cores.
> If there isn't a shortcut, but the app exposes the action in a menu, you can assign a custom shortcut from keyboard settings.

The standardized menu system is underrated, IMO.

Setting aside preferences for the menubar being global vs. being attached to app windows, the fact that it's system-owned makes features like this possible. Apple was able to implement custom keybinds for menu items in arbitrary apps because they know that 99.9% of apps use the system menubar. This would be next to impossible on Windows where menubar implementations are disparate and numerous (even within first party apps), and while something similar could be patched together on Linux, it'd only work on some (mostly Qt) apps since GTK has mostly abandoned menus altogether.

This also enables the menu search in macOS Help menus to work, which is underused despite being basically a command palette for every app.
As another suggestion, Better Touch Tool does great for tiling window manager and adding shortcuts.

It's one of the first things I always need. It started coming from Linux with a similar experience to you.

----

A big shortcut for me is cmd+shift+/

It allows searching on all submenus. So when I'm working on an IDE for example, it's how I find those obscure options I know are there but I don't use frequently enough to remember the shortcut.
