Prevented from flying anywhere outside of Russia during a layover != defected. He's not there by choice as long as the choice is: stay in Russia and use political optics to safely criticize Putin's regime, or leave Russia and rot in prison away from his family for the rest of his life.
Besider Guix, Guile is also the default extension language for the GNU project. Moreover by learning Guile you learn a lisp which some people find quite enlightening. What do you gain from learning Nix, asside from Nix?

Moreover, "macros are good" in the sense that they are powerful and grant the user freedom to construct software in ways that are just not possible with languages that try to herd their users into a specific mode of behavioir. It is the old freedom and responsibility problem. Again, I believe it is a matter of choice and personal preference
I get the rationale for the new naming, but I find it really funny. It’s not the first personal information software to be named “Chandler”. I’m not going to say the name is cursed, but if you were around for this, you’ll chuckle at the new name.

If you want a great story about a software project, open source, and how to not ship, there is also a really good book about this project called “Dreaming in Code”.

My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.

Have improvements been made with this in the new version?

> you can still clarify assumptions via chat

Yes, at cost to latency, bandwidth and meeting time (you don’t as easily make 30 second video calls as you nag the person across the monitor).

> conversations about topics tangentially related

Not just that. Conversations about topics that are the responsibility of your colleagues but you still need to understand and challenge.

> communication needs to change when people work remotely

It’s totally possible, but requires a level of written clarity that few programmers can bother. FOSS is fully remote for the most, and it depends on a lot of textual protocols.

The more your job is cut out, the more runway your employer has, the less important you need quick communication.

In any R&D, being present is really beneficial. And office chatter is at the same time insanely annoying. Stand ups that drag into half hours, “let’s break everyone’s flow for a group announcement”, people who wanna smalltalk.

Best of both worlds is a mixture, when the circumstances permit it.

Wearing headphones and avoiding eye contact does wonders — my boss really picks up when I don’t want to talk.
I appreciate your vulnerability and candor and hope that your situation improves soon
Back when I had very slow DSL (as opposed to just slow DSL) I found it was almost impossible to install complex container layouts because the Docker client was not at all smart about caching and failed downloads.

Later on I worked at a place that had gigabit Ethernet and got into an argument with the CTO who couldn't believe the build process (which built software packed it into containers and ran a system based on containers) took 20 minutes. I set my stopwatch and it was 18 minutes and 27 seconds and a lot of that time was Docker doing ultimately meaningless I/O.

People think Docker is doing something positive for them when it is really killing their productivity, making their projects late, giving them time to go get coffee, etc.
They were a year or two out from retiring and had to extend their time in the workforce through no fault of their own, yet nobody at the top who is responsible for both the theft of their money and years of their life was ever prosecuted for securities fraud or any other such thing.

If I stole $50 from the till at the corner gas station, I'd be arrested and prosecuted. If someone steals $50 million and their company gets bailed out by the government because they're exempt from the laws of capitalism (private profits, socialized losses) they get a golden parachute and a pat on the back.
The media was full of the concerns of the french population about the pension reform.
The french population is indeed concerned by the increasing of the pension age, but not concerned at all with the price paid by their own children for not increasing it. So I wouldn't call the concerns of the population necessarily legitimate, as present and pressing as they might be.
Intelligence is more inherent than beauty. Its 85% heritable by adulthood.

IIMU that the Explorer's 68K option was the same design as the NuMachine/Lambda 68K board with the addition of a license-protection PAL/ROM combination that prevented Unix from running if a matching paddlecard (containing the license key) was missing.
> of a broken company culture

I agree with this in a sense. Every time someone talks about how they've been able to make remote work and how every company should as well, the thing that pops into my head is "well why doesn't the company just completely change their culture".

Can companies to this, yes. Should they, (opinion). Can it be understandable why a company might be resistant to completely changing their culture?

Take your example of "incompetent managers". How many managers do you think a google/amazon type company would need to fire during a transition to a fully remote culture because they are unable to learn the required skills? How long would it take them to backfill those managers and what's the cost to the business in the meantime?
Of course, OP is obviously in one of the many countries where Anglo-Jewish women and Hispanic men make up the majority of the population, especially of tech workers.
Delinquency is probably translated from délinquance, which is generally understood to mean thuggery/small crimes.
It really doesn't matter how many people support an issue. If that issue isn't in their purview, they can't push it through. From the get go it was on very shakey ground. If you want federal oversight of abortion then add an amendment to the constitution.
I'm so tired of hearing "government should do x - it's for the people". The problem today is that the federal government powers, enumerated by the constitution, are continually expanding. If everything happened at a local level there would be an opportunity to correct it. It's much more difficult at the federal level. Comparatively, gerrymandering is minor.

Can you explain how
gerrymandering got RvW overturned?
Honestly I think Google has already lost its prestige. But it's not just RTO that's doing it, it's the politically toxic way they did their round of layoffs. RTO is not going to save them, they lost their mojo years ago, and they're now in a spiral towards being an IBM-style "legacy" company and the layoffs (which were just about playing to the stock market) just cemented that. That's the general consensus I see both from Xooglers and Googlers I talk to.

But also in addition to demanding RTO, their actual office situation sucks now. In the years before I quit Google (after 10 years of being there) they just made the actual office experience worse and worse. Cramming people in like sardines. Open concept noisy auditorium workspaces. Messing up the parking situation and requiring people to park and walk 10 minutes away while they ripped up the parking lot to build new castles to cram people into. Overhiring and overstaffing into dubious projects. Lowering quality of food and other perks. And during WFH if you actually wanted to come in there was a whole song and dance about reserving desks, and not getting any kind of permanent comfortable workstation.

I don't like working remotely. But I also despised the commuting situation; I was willing to tolerate it while the office was a pleasant environment. COVID ruined that.

Google started on the path to not being a "cool" company to work at when Ruth Porat came on as CFO. She did great things for the stock price, but long term bad things for the culture of the company.
It's now clear that I need some sort of semi-automated system to periodically review the list of installed extensions against a database of known-malicious IDs. I'm not going to manually go through a list of more than 100 extensions. We need something like HaveIBeenPwned, is there anything like that already?
Congratz! As someone who installed Monica several times, and always said "I’ll fill it with data eventually" (and often thinks how useful it would be to have it filled…), I want to use this as an opportunity to try once again. What will the upgrade path be for selfhoster for the later versions? Will there be automatic migrations until 1.0?
I am unreasonably excited about Safari PWAs on macOS. This is a very good start.

Some of my favorite details from the article:

> Different from iOS/iPadOS, credentials in cookies are copied over, so if you were logged in when running in the tab, you're logged in when you launch the app. No other storage means apart from cookies are copied.

> Same-origin (or in-scope if a manifest exists) links are handled in-app, cross-origin (or out-of-scope if a manifest exists) links open in the default browser. A notable exception are OAuth flow links, which are handled in-app based on a heuristic.

> Web apps run in the context of a separate process called `Web App.app`. Separating Safari and Web App allows both to run independently. You can open a Web app without opening Safari, you can close Safari without all web apps closing.

Buuutt... FileSystem API is not supported yet. Nor is drag-and-drop or LaunchHandler (open a specific file type with the web app). If we had those features, we could get back to storing and editing files on disk, using web apps, which would be a huge improvement for local-first apps.
Home roof installations are going to be a rounding error compared to industrial solar installations, and the price of those will follow the price drop of panels a lot more closely.
In my country it is like covid never happened. Yet, there are quite a few people for whom covid is still a threat. People with long covid for instance or respiratory illnesses. There are Free Software conferences that take that into account, as part of inclusion.
Weird comment. What are you deflecting from? It’s a very clear article.

>In the documents submitted to the court he said ByteDance had a "superuser" credential — also known as a god credential — that enabled a special committee of Chinese Communist Party members stationed at the company to view all data collected by ByteDance including those of U.S. users.

>The credential acted as a "backdoor to any barrier ByteDance had supposedly installed to protect data from the C.C.P's surveillance," the filing says.

>Yu said he saw the god credential being used to keep tabs on Hong Kong protesters and civil rights activists by monitoring their locations and devices, their network information, SIM card identifications, IP addresses and communications.
I don't own a car. I have two kids. Car sharing and renting, in combination with public transport and bicycles are most certainly a real replacement.

It requires good public transport, and bicycles, of course.

But merely 'kids' is in no way a 'reson for a car'.
I assume they did some research, a/b testing etc. and found out that this is a price people are willing to pay. Also, this is 2 beers. 1 if you have to pay US service fees and a tip
Basically, Linux Foundation events are back to “normal.” Kubecon in April said that they weren’t allowed by local law to mandate requirements but it was pretty clear that was a fig leaf for what they wanted to do anyway.

They did have the comfort level stickers which seems very reasonable.

I think you do still see some community oriented events feeling like they need to bend over backwards to accommodate anyone who still doesn’t feel comfortable around unmasked and unvaccinated people. That’s where the sentiment comes from IMO.
Edward Snowden is raising his hand, it seems he has something to add to the discussion

I don't think it's been worked on for some time; We both reached the same dead end in our emulation projects - The disk images we were working from were from a crashed machine and missing most of the operating system.

a lot of the comments here are like a humble brag on level of misery. "i walk to work in -20F", "you get use to biking in sub-zero temps", i guess but why? Is the feeling of superiority worth the suffering? Maybe i'm just old and don't get it haha.
The goal of this article was to provide an educational resource and comparison for people learning about SVG and Canvas. Based on a few comments here and elsewhere, some people learned something, so we consider that a success.

I don't think you can deny that any article, demo, post, etc that appears on a company website is inherently some kind of self-promotion. It's the same for every company. The important thing for us is that the content can stand alone if it appears under another name, on another website. In that sense, we are happy with it, and think the content is reasonable and valid. We use SVG, and are satisfied with our tool of choice. There isn't any conspiracy here.

The article doesn't focus on using libraries, because we wanted it to be accessible to everyone, including beginners. If we want to write about a specific library, we would do so in a straightforward and forthright manner just like in the article you linked here. That article was born out of questions from our customers which is why it covers additional stuff like prices, support, open-source, etc. Again, nothing too strange about that. Both articles do have some crossover in terms of themes, but so does every comparison article about SVG and Canvas, so it's not surprising. There are only so many things to discuss.
FreeOTP is another alternative - passphrase-encrypted backups can be saved to local or cloud storage and imported to FreeOTP running on another device.
How to Read a Scientific Study
I did a silly little exercise the other day, pitting my company's official Corporate Values against the non-negotiable RTO policy they forced into effect a couple months ago:

Megacorp's recent mandatory return-to-office (RTO) policy, when evaluated against its stated corporate values, raises several potential points of conflict.

Integrity: The company's value of integrity may be questioned if the policy is perceived as being imposed without transparency or clear rationale. If the decision-making process was opaque and unaccountable, it could undermine trust and the sense of fairness.

Innovation: A mandatory RTO policy could be seen as inconsistent with the value of innovation. Innovation often involves embracing change, adapting to new circumstances, and leveraging new tools and methods – remote work included. Thus, reverting to traditional office work may be seen as regressive.

Customer-first mindset: If the RTO policy adversely affects employee morale, productivity or retention, there might be indirect negative impacts on customer service and satisfaction.

Entrepreneurial thought and action: Entrepreneurship often entails autonomy, flexibility, and the ability to work independently. A top-down policy mandating return to the office might be seen as limiting these aspects, potentially contradicting this corporate value.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion: A mandatory RTO policy could disproportionately impact employees who have caregiving responsibilities, health concerns, or other personal circumstances that make remote work more feasible and attractive. This could lead to concerns about inclusivity and equity.

Collaboration: While collaboration can indeed be enhanced by in-person interaction, modern digital tools also enable effective remote collaboration. Thus, enforcing a return to the office might be seen as a narrow interpretation of this value.

Competitive Spirit: If other companies are offering flexible or remote work arrangements, a mandatory RTO policy might affect Megacorp's ability to attract and retain top talent, impacting its competitiveness.

Execution: Depending on the details of the RTO policy, it could potentially disrupt work schedules and productivity, thus affecting the company's capacity for effective execution.
how do they verify it's the same as the bundled version? does it affect updates as well?
The camera and microphone of a modern smartphone are not trivial to hack. I highly doubt a local government would have the resources to even consider having such teams.
I think it's a reference to acceptable behaviour in different cultures. Tokyo station in rush hour is surprisingly quiet even though it's a sea of bodies.
My US-centric issue is that while I do in fact live close enough to work to bike there, doing so is risking getting murdered by any number two ton death machines filled with impatient, irrational, distracted apes. Apes who are actively resisting a separated bike infrastructure because it will "make traffic worse" or "raise taxes".

I would love to make an active, healthy commute part of my day, but I'm worried I would only reap the benefits temporarily until I am pancaked by an Audi driven by a moron trying to catch up in Facebook.
Apple wont allow Apple make expandable computers ever again.
My developer's view is that Nginx 1.18.0 is ~2 years old and you should probably consider updating it ;-)
Hadn't considered this. I just figured there are a lot of people here that "believe" in crypto in theory but just don't happen to be playing in this space yet, instead watching from the sideline with interest. I was doing this for a long while (watching since 2011) but never spent a dime until I could be firmly convinced, which never happened.

You're suggesting that most/all of these pro-crypto commenters have real skin in the game. If so, then there are a lot more people here than I guessed with with disappoint in their future.

This is a pretty intelligent crowd, so the blind spot surprises me. Such is human nature.
> when there is no technical reason not to support BSD.

Guix' packages include glibc in their dependency chain, so unless you can use glibc on BSD, there is your technical reason. For example GNU Hurd is supported in addition to Linux.

This reply falls under the RT;PAM category (read title; posted angry comments).

First link:

> Vassilenko cited the data that in 2022 the global green hydrogen market was valued at $4.02 billion

Second:

> Originating out of a reference economic model of the Green Kochi Hydrogen Hub (GKH2), the plan was prepared as a 50:50 public-private Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with a 150 megawatt (MW) electrolyser capacity, storage and evacuation infrastructure, renewable energy inputs, green ammonia production plants and off-take by industrial and mobility users, with a $468m CAPEX outlay over a 20-year project period.

Third said this, but there's a "but" coming:

> In 2022, over $240 billion was invested in more than 680 global hydrogen projects, marking a 50 per cent increase in investments compared to the previous year.

The document it linked to actually starts with:

> 680 large-scale project proposals worth USD 240 billion have been put forward, but only about 10% (USD 22 billion) have reached final investment decision (FID). While Europe leads in proposed investments (~30%), China is slightly ahead on actual deployment of electrolyzers (200 MW), while Japan and South Korea are leading in fuel cells (more than half of the world's 11 GW manufacturing capacity).

These would be a great start if not for the fact that we've been hearing about how hydrogen cars will replace ICE since before Tesla became newsworthy.

I want this to succeed, I really do — even if it only works for planes and some chemistry, that's fantastic! — but this isn't like Russia being at war, it's like pointing to the continuing existence of Cuba and saying "Look! Communism works!"
And what do you supposed we do if the A that the 10 people want is for the 3 people who want B to pick their cotton for free?
Yep even if it goes through the parliament they can avoid a vote

Then the parliament can whip out a motion of non-confidence, which, if signed by 50% of the parliament, removes the law and fires the government.

Stress on the "signed by 50% of the parliament" => If a congressman doesn't sign it, it's counted as a no. They almost never go through. Not to mention that a fair number of congressmen can be against a law, but also against firing the government. So by definition they always have that advantage on these votes too
Coming from outside, the take on macros resonates. Working with modern 'Rust' The Language is rather nice. But when one of my first main projects was to add support for a serialization format with Serde, running into macros feels like running into a wall. It's a whole next level of complexity and poor tooling support (at least at the time).

Granted, I've had similar feelings about C++'s template shenanigans, so take it with a grain of salt. Zig's comptime feels like a breath of fresh air in comparison.
Iceland has multiple levels of government (national and municipal). A wide range of things are handled at the municipal level. Folks in Reykjavík can govern themselves by simple majority vote. What they need more than a majority for us to govern folks outside Reykjavík.

Location is special—because it’s special. It’s incorrect to think of it as just another characteristic of individuals. Humans live in their geographical surroundings, and location creates natural boundaries and limits on people. I’m from Bangladesh, which in my parent’s lifetime declared war on Pakistan—a country where people share the same race and religion—so it could govern itself instead of being a far-flung province. In that case Bangladesh actually had a slight majority of the combined population, but it wouldn’t have been any different if it had 1/4 of the population. The point was to make to make the voting more closely associated with the land.
As someone who went through and got a PhD in psychology (I now work outside of the field, but that's neither here nor there)...

There are definitely problems in the field, in some subareas more than others. I am pleased to see how much discussion in the field there has been regarding issues with replication, sample sizes, etc., and I do see improvements there. Quite honestly, the discussion about these things has instigated the same questions in other fields. The progress is slow, and it frustrates me that I don't feel like I can fully trust a lot of the older research in the field, but...there is progress.

But I think you're right that it's a difficult field in general. Human minds are complicated -- possibly one of the most complex things in the universe to study. Human social interactions, relationships, group dynamics, identities, and start with those complex machines and now layer on top additional interdependent cause-effect relationships. The area of study is just, fundamentally, hard.

The field has developed techniques to try to address this -- that's why psych surveys tend to ask the same question in multiple different ways. By triangulating in to a fuzzy concept from multiple angles, it at least gets us to the point where (hopefully) there's some systematic variance we can talk about and study. We're never going to get to the point where we can measure "agreeableness" or "prejudice" or "empathy" with as much precision as physicists can measure changes in an atom. But studying the human condition in as systematic a way as we can still feels incredibly important to me, to do what we can to improve human flourishing.
