> Also curious: Selling ice cream in winter?

In Italy ice cream is sold in winter too in all Gelateria.

The good thing about winter ice cream is that it is better, it doesn't melt that fast and artisans tend to do it with more care and quality while in summer there's an offset for quantity.
It is also in the linked report.
If you can criminalize their existence, then I suppose it's off to the gulag with them.
I think you have misunderstood.

It's 30 days paid holiday per year. The legal minimum is 20-something is most EU countries, but professional jobs tend to have 25-35, depending on the country.

Sick leave is completely independent of that. If you're sick you don't work. If there's any doubt, you get a signed note from a doctor. If the sickness lasts a long time there are eventually other procedures, and after long enough you can lose your job if there's really no reasonable alternative.

It was certainly visible when a previous employer tasked me to go looking for it, in I'd guess 2018 or so. I have no details from that work because by convention I keep nothing, although by mistake I do still have a front door key to the office, which I really ought to get back to them one day.

IIRC the main targets were military and government entities in less important (so not G7) countries. We were focused on email at the time, but these days perhaps you would target other infrastructure and the shape of the attacks would look different. Since "Governments of poor countries" isn't an attractive sales target for a startup I don't think that work progressed beyond my investigation.

The Web PKI assumes the DNS is trustworthy, which in practice means DNSSEC or else just hoping. You are in team hope, and I think you ought to make that clear to people.
One of the photos shows an "Agitpunkt" with a date "Sunday, 14th-March 1954".

(interestingly "Agitpunkt" sounds like a German loanword)
Never heard of "eating cold in winter warms you up" while growing up in Siberia. We had an ice cream factory in my town, which sold cheap and delicious ice cream all year round in very ubiquitous ice cream stands, my neighborhood had four of these. All the kids I knew used to buy ice cream all year round, I remember eating a can when it was -25c outside.
Expecting otherwise is not reasonable.

Digital privacy does not exist, even for tech savvy people. Anybody saying otherwise is trying to sell you something.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens won't we. Seems to me that the economic problems that Europe is seeing right now are far worse than ones in Russia. So, if things continue the way they are European economy can't last a long time.
This is amazing, I can't believe I haven't seen this before, mapping caps_lock to right command and using rcmd for app switching is amazing, previously I just had caps set to esc and used left_command + esc as a global toggle for terminal.

I tried remapping a normal letter key's (a) long press to a command+a but it seems to actually trigger the letter "a" before triggering the modifier.

> a few skilled jobs are granted the extreme privilege of time off, for the rest you grant nothing. Are they peasants in your eyes?

No not at all. I believe lower skilled workers are on this position due to the policies we have had for some time now, which most of them actually support. I respect all workers that contribute honestly.

What is the values of delays that work for you? For example, my capslock key acts as both escape and control - but I am yet to find the delays that will let me smoothly roll over to other keys from escape.
Exploring the Thriving Tech Ecosystem
In today's fast-paced world, the tech industry has become a hotbed of innovation, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. From Silicon Valley to emerging tech hubs around the globe, the tech ecosystem is a dynamic and ever-evolving landscape, where startups, established companies, investors, and talented individuals come together to drive progress and shape the future. In this article, we embark on a journey to explore the thriving tech ecosystem, examining its key components, the opportunities it presents, and the factors contributing to its success.

The Power of Collaboration:
One of the defining characteristics of a thriving tech ecosystem is the power of collaboration. In a world where technological advancements occur at breakneck speed, collaboration among different stakeholders is essential for driving innovation. Startups, larger companies, academic institutions, and government bodies all play a crucial role in fostering collaboration by sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise. This collaborative spirit creates a fertile ground for groundbreaking ideas, disruptive technologies, and transformative solutions to flourish.

Startups: The Catalysts of Innovation:
At the heart of the tech ecosystem, startups act as the catalysts of innovation. These ambitious and agile companies bring fresh ideas, novel approaches, and disruptive technologies to the market. Startups thrive in the tech ecosystem due to the availability of venture capital, access to mentorship and incubation programs, and the supportive infrastructure that encourages risk-taking and experimentation. By challenging the status quo and disrupting traditional industries, startups inject new energy into the ecosystem, attracting talent and fueling further innovation.

Established Tech Companies: The Pillars of Industry:
Alongside startups, established tech companies serve as the pillars of the tech ecosystem. These companies have paved the way for innovation and continue to evolve and adapt to changing market dynamics. With their vast resources, global reach, and industry expertise, they often act as mentors, investors, and partners to startups. Established companies provide stability, experience, and market access to startups, creating a symbiotic relationship that benefits both sides. Moreover, they actively engage in research and development, further driving the progress of technology.

The Role of Investors:
Investors, both venture capitalists and angel investors, play a critical role in the tech ecosystem. They provide the necessary funding and financial support that startups need to bring their ideas to life and scale their operations. Beyond financial backing, investors bring valuable networks, industry insights, and expertise to the table. Their involvement is not only limited to funding startups but also includes mentoring and guiding founders, helping them navigate the complexities of the business world.

Going from shipping 800k in Q1 to 1M per month sounds like a significant upgrade in their supply chain. Hopefully it should bring down the prices and improve availability. But, I believe many enthusiasts who were interested in the raspberry pi have moved to alternatives like lepotato and other pi variants due to unavailability and high prices even from authorized resellers.

If your primary use case for a pi is running a low powered server and can't wait, I think an NUC style minipc is a good alternative at marginally higher price(when you consider the cost of pi & its accessories required for comparable setup). For a slight increase in power consumption, you get a capable x86 cpu with more supported software and you can also upgrade later. I have one sitting at 10W idle.

If you requirements are strictly low power then a pi might be the better choice if you can wait.
I’m not a fan of any of the companies listed but I don’t necessarily like blaming them for things parents shouldn’t be giving their kids access to. But maybe these lawsuits will wake some parents up.
No, it doesn't.

Something "making sense" does not mean mistakes are not possible.

Assuming only idiots make mistakes is rather black-and-white.

Whatever. I'm not wasting a single brain cell trying to figure out the academic difference between them. They're history.
There are many ways to be smart, and I try to be grateful about the ways in which I'm smart and then appreciate others in the ways they are smarter than me. It's very hard to be smart in everything, in my experience. From how to be funny, likeable, handle tough social situations, decision making about life plans, handling stress, and different challenges in engineering work - from simple tasks to project planning.

For a very long time, I just have not been smart enough to go to sleep in time. (Metacognition related "intelligence"?)
Of course you can't objectively measure consciousness. It boils down to subjectivity itself, so it's tautologically true that it can't be done in an objective fashion.

fqing finally. It always seemed strange that there wasn’t any central database of binary parsers that everyone could contribute to. Nearly every file format is fully documented, but none of the docs are programmatic.

I was trying to rip some sounds from a wii game called Rhythm Heaven, and it’s ridiculous how primitive the tech is. By that I mean the programming community’s tech. If you want to extract some assets, you’d better be running Windows, and you’ll need to download some random exe from mediafire made by Jared, a 13yo that coded the extractor in C in his spare time. This is only a very slight exaggeration; Windows being a requirement isn’t.

Hopefully projects like this will standardize all binary formats once and for all.

Actually, this is a good opportunity to ask: how would one contribute a binary parser to fq? If I wrote one for wii sound files, can I just submit a PR or is there some other process?

EDIT: https://github.com/wader/fq/blob/master/doc/dev.md documents the development side of things. I’m more interested in the project itself — if someone puts in the work to make a decoder for an obscure binary format, will it get merged (assuming it’s high quality) or is this only for popular formats?
> The brain is the single existing example of general intelligence.

This is incorrect. It is not pedantic to point out that we have never interacted with a "brain" in isolation: the human brain is an organ of the human organism. The human being is the single existing example of general intelligence.

> let's look forward to what neuroscience looks like in the 2030's

This is very interesting science without question. Are there existing ethical and moral frameworks guiding the development of your field?
> would you write a similar comment about Nazi Germany?

This is spot on, if anything, the 'grandiose' May-parade photos remind me of 1930's Nazi Germany (and back then - before Germany invaded Poland - there was a similar fascination in some corners of western society with this sort of aesthetics).
This comment adds nothing to the discussion.

The the worry is coercion, those actors could force you to vote on paper in their presence. The phone isn't a variable.

If there is no coercion, the voter can go wherever they feel safe (even a polling place) to do their voting (whether on paper, on phone or whatever other method).
again, the amount of their taxes that would go to providing free housing to people with nothing is so infinitesimal as to be unnoticeable, especially compared to the portion that goes into handouts to billionaires. and yet somehow it is the poor people who get resented.

and the ironic thing is that housing-first measures would likely end up saving taxpayers money, but the awful fear of someone undeserving getting something counts for more.

Assuming that your comment is serious, where is the threat in your opinion?
It doesn't seem to really matter if you use paper or electronic so long as you allow for mail in voting. I don't know if electronic voting is responsible or susceptible to fraud, but mailing your ballot in I think certainly is. Before we get rid of electronic voting, we should reform how people vote.
Hmm, in my experience insofar as anyone really refers to the web these days (mostly tech people), it's the web. Browsing the web, web browser, web server, web app, websockets, WebGL, and so on. Normal people just use "the internet", and have always used, not really aware or caring about what the difference is. Approximately nobody has called the web "world wide web" or "www" in the past 15 to 20 years, and nobody has even said "www" after essentially all URLs went www-less (and good riddance!)

As a sibling commenter said, these days most people don't even really refer to the internet often, because it just is, ubiquitous, ever-present, and accessed via apps that abstract it out even more. Being connected is the default state of matters, and does not require a specific term. Just like you don't often need to refer to or think about the air surrounding you.
We entertained "dub-three" in those days, but it didn't catch on. The nickname, I mean.

I worked as a consultant connecting businesses to the Internet, and boss asked me if I thought this WWW thing was here to stay, or a fad. I replied, "meh, it's a fad" because I had been underwhelmed by its implementation, compared to some mind-blowing infrastructure systems, GUIs and wonders like the MBONE (talk about fads).

I believe that the tipping point for WWW is when it was realized as a platform for delivering applications (SaaS). Once that angle became apparent, all resources were expended on making that a reality.

It would be simple matter of having two software support licenses. One for operating system and one for application. This is how most software works today.

Red Hat knows if their customers are buying Red Hat license to get support for LibreOffice. I would assume this is a case only for very small number of customers, as Red Hat is mostly focusing on server product. And today companies can buy the same support from LibreOffice directly, so there is no point for Red Hat to compete against LibreOffice here. It's win win.
Bad passwords.
That seems backwards, unless you also need to be preforming more surgeries and thus need more people. Instead reduce the number of operating theaters while keeping a similar number of people. Net result same amount of operations, but lower capital expenditure.

Of course you now need to pay people more to be working in the weekends, but that’s a different question.

Quoting:

"last year, a grad school classmate of mine died at the age of 38. every student and professor who met Geoff Hollis learned that he was a brilliant scholar, a sharp thinker, and a superb university lecturer.

"but only a handful of his friends knew that geoff was also one hell of a coder. he spent nights as a grad student building his own MUD engine in C - from scratch, with a built-in custom scripting language - just for the fun of it.

"nakedMUD enjoyed several years of regular development and usage from mud designers, before jeff had to shelve it due to his teaching responsibilities.

"when he died, his university server space was wiped without a backup, and all of his source code went with it. i've got the most recent version of nakedMUD (3.8.1), but i'd like to preserve v1.0 to v3.8 in his memory.

"if you happen to have filenames in the format nakedmudv1.0.tar.tgz sitting around on old drives, i'd love to hear from you. i'm building a little source shrine for geoff, so nakedMUD can live on in memory of a kind, gentle soul."

Does this work on wayland? I used to have Caps mapped as Escape when pressed alone but as Ctrl when in combination with another key. On wayland, there's no easy way on sway or gnome (which is what I used on Ubuntu). There is `caps2esc` and `interception_tools`. But I had some problems with it interfering with startup sometimes on sway. But on Ubuntu gnome, I haven't tried it again.

Yes, I could penny pinch to buy a house for an exorbitant sum. That also contributes to increasing housing prices. Or I can keep renting and saving for retirement. The fact is tech salaries are actually modest and everyone else is getting really screwed. The idea that tech workers are villains only plays into the hands of the truly wealthy.
What if you consider social media to be like cigarettes?
> This pervasive atmosphere is nowhere to be seen in the pictures, but of course they had to remind you that these are the ebil commies.

My mother was an avid polish communist born and raised in communist Poland and there isn't a communist country that she didn't travel from east Germany to Uzbekistan and Yugoslavia.

Yes, as you point out, people living in the Soviet Union were just normal people with their everyday problems: the boss, the colleagues, groceries, buying some new tech (e.g. radio), family, health, etc.

I think it is very false to depict secret police as having such a huge role in everyday's Russia life. What was slightly different in Soviet Russia compared to other countries members of the Warsaw Pact is that there was more control on movement.

She and my father too recollect how going to some village 80 miles from Moscow had them stopped and controlled for documents and purpose of their trip like 4 times.

That tended to fade the further you went and increase around major cities like Moscow.

I wouldn't really say secret police had such a huge role in day by day, but the "police state" of control did. Other things that were quite heavily controlled were phone calls. People had all kinds of secret codes when communicating with people abroad because everyone assumed someone was listening and recording.

But I really cannot stress how average Ivan didn't really care or felt all of that control nor cared unless he did something heavily (politically) risky.

I often ask my family that lived in the Warsaw Pact countries, either in Russia, mostly Poland and Ukraine if they didn't feel there was a lack of freedom, etc, and they all said they didn't care nor think about it at all. They were thinking where to go to vacation, what to prepare for lunch or sporting activities, etc.

It should also be noted that all of those countries never experienced a much "different" state of affairs. My grandmother was born in Nazi Germany, her mother under the Haubsburg's Austrian empire, her husband was born in Prussia. And they all were born in a 30 miles radius. There was always a ruler, repression and control.

If anything, for those people, communist regimes brought the most freedom and best standard of lives they ever even dreamed of. It only got in the late 70s and early 80s that the system started tracking, people weren't blind and could see that people in western countries had it much better and kept growing while communist countries capped in their economic and social evolution. New generations didn't even remember the Tsarist or Prussian times, they looked at America, at West Germany at France and thought the situation was bad.
but alcohol actually kills people, unlike weed. and causes actual long-term damage, physical dependence, etc. just admit that the reason your country permits alcohol and executes weed smugglers is because alcohol is part of your culture and weed isn't.
Thanks for information.
Loved the article, and replying again as a top-level comment to point out something else I just learned about.

The last TR game after Shadow of the TR was a mobile one: TR Reloaded[1]. It looks like a lazy cash grab infested with microtransactions. It's a damn shame seeing yet another franchise tarnished like this.

It's great when an IP experiments with different game genres and mechanics. Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris were beautifully done, and there should be more of that. But these lazy mobile ports do a disservice to the IP.

I'm looking forward to the next proper release in the franchise. We need a good current-gen title to fill the void of Uncharted. :)
