If this is true then there is no need to worry: companies with thriving WFH developers will surely overcome the stuck in the old ways ones. Not only their developers have same or greater performance due to constant thriving but their expenses will be much less so they will be able to offer better compensation and steal the talent from the in-office dinosaurs.
> the bonus point is that I can have access to its source code

Are you actually reading all the code before you run it? Are you re-reading it for each update? If not, then what's the point of bragging about having access to the source?

The point of sandboxing is that it's impractical to reliably audit, on a continuous basis, the massive volume of software that the average person runs. It's more economical to apply the least-privileged principle, and only give apps access to the things they need to function.
As an aside, I just wanted to give a shout out to the GDPR. There was a lot of well deserved suspicion for that piece of legislation, and it’s obviously not perfect (and in fact has a lot of flaws). But as the large number of comments here referencing it indicate, it’s probably the second effective tool for user privacy that has been made available so far, the first probably being ad/trackers blocking extensions. And unfortunately it’s pretty clear with the browsers being owned largely by ad companies, these extensions are not gonna be useful for too long.

Also, as someone who was heavily involved in student government in college, I’m absolutely stunned and amazed at the legislation that manages to come out of the EU, which is structured like a Kafkaesque nightmare, and yet, somehow, manages to churn out better legislation than pretty much any other legislative body on the planet.
what do you suggest then?
Conversational UIs allow users to use a language they already know well.
This book is gold!

Incidentally, there is a 2nd edition in French, but not (yet?!) in English.

Yes, it is hard, but reading is not a contest of "how many pages can I read per day". With this book, sometimes I just read one/day. Other times it's a negative number. Meaning, I need to go back a few pages. What matters most is the content, and this book has it. No pauses, no cheap humour, just pearls on every paragraph. That puts the burden on the reader. It's a book to be studied, not read.
You mean the same platform that earned him millions of dollars already? Yeah I’m sure he would love to support it
Yeah the French are the only western Europeans who exercise any real sovereignty, except for maybe the Swiss, sort of. I reckon they have Charles de Gaulle to thank for that. They’re certainly in a privileged spot when it comes to NATO.
My fav bit about MW is they went hard on the role playing bit. Could level up all these random skills which then compounded with skills and enchantments.

Being able to jump crazy far and breathe underwater were my favourites. The idea of alteration was so fun, hate that they took it out made later games feel much blander esp when I've always thought TES combat sucks . Also the weapon diversity was so much more interesting, they really dumbed down the weapon set in future games, I miss halberds
> I honestly would not trust a developer who finds AWS too confusing.

So you would not trust most developers?

Even a lot of Sysadmins i.e. Devops find it confusing.

A lot of people just pretend it is fine by being ignorant and not learn any of it. They would follow 1-2 processes that works and never do anything else. You ask them why or how it works and you can't even get a real answer out of it.
Try reading Sarno. Sounds nuts but it works.
Interesting that the content off the Approved header didn't matter. I'm only familiar with Mailman's use of same, where the content has to be the moderator's password: incorrect is equivalent to not providing the header, and correct bypasses the moderation queue. Either way, it gets scrubbed immediately, for secrecy. Essentially, it's just to let listserv moderators send to a list without having to spend time using the queue for their own messages, or automation of any sort such as custom smtp client apps.
> "Tell me a cron expression to run command on each third Monday of a month and explain it"

ChatGPT responds:

> 0 0 0 ? * MON#3 *

Regarding MON#3, it explains: "Day of the week (MON#3): This is the crucial part of the expression. We use MON to specify that we want the command to run on a Monday. Then we append #3 to indicate that we want the third occurrence of Monday. This ensures that the command will run on the third Monday of the month."

It does not mention though, even with the smallest hint, that standard cron does not support this syntax. Or a 7-field syntax.

(By "standard cron" I mean Vixie cron derivatives like the one that ships with Debian)

The correct answer in this case would have been: "This is not possible with standard cron syntax alone. You can either use a different cron implementation that supports MON#3, or schedule for every Monday, but then in your script check if it's the third Monday."

If you get apps from the windows store, they're sandboxed.

The problem with that view of geopolitics is that not all leaders or states (and in the case of dictatorships these are the same) are rational about their interests.

Sometimes you're dealing with a Hitler, and you cannot deal with those in terms of "interests", and the interests of the dictator may differ from the interests of the state.

Such is the case with Putin. This invasion was not in the interests of the state. It was in his own interests, but he is dictator, so his interests win out.

The Green Revolution didn't cause population growth. That happens on its own.

It did prevent massive famines. You have to be pretty far out in whackadoodle land (or a psychopath, or perhaps both) to think that's a bad thing. As an atheist, I can't really tell the Pope how to run his religion, but if there's anyone who deserves to be canonized I think it's probably Borlaug. He's even got a miracle under his belt.

I agree it's not lossy-compression that's the problem here.. I think instead it's usually better phrased in terms of 'aliasing'. You can think of using a better (more care, attention and listener-adaptation) method for producing words in your mind as literally an anti-aliasing strategy, which should result in a 'better' resulting signal in the reciever.

It's funny this came up. I ended up writing a small webapp that runs locally and allows me to catalog my tools, parts and other important odds and ends in a SQLite database (and attach datasheets and other information I've picked up along the way). I'm almost certainly the opposite of a minimalist, but going through and actually documenting what I have, where I put it, and sometimes what it was intended for, has been incredibly useful, especially being able to use full text search to quickly look up things.

I started scrolling through that and came across a chart that has "interfacing via d-bus" as a green feature instead of a red bug at the very top of the list and I'm having a hard time taking it seriously. And I liked the shell scripts that Linux classically had been using: it meant I could read and trace what was happening. I dunno... if you have "modular C" as a feature and "shell scripts" as a bug you probably have made up a bunch of "problems" the same way people who would always whine about their languages and frameworks not being "modern" often do :/.

Speaking of E&S vector displays: as a young volunteer at our local children's museum[1] in the early '90s, I spent many pleasant hours screwing around with a first-generation Digistar planetarium system, which was essentially a vector projection display with an enormous dome-shaped screen driven by scripts running on a MicroVAX in the back room that could be interacted with via a variety of controllers — joysticks, faders, etc. — on the planetarium floor.

Sadly, this interactivity was never used in an official capacity while I was there; all public shows were fully automated affairs. But this didn't stop twelve-year-old me from simulating starship combat in between shows and after hours!

> Are you actually reading all the code before you run it? Are you re-reading it for each update? If not, then what's the point of bragging about having access to the source?

Not every user needs to read everything. We can read pieces of what we use and trust others to also read pieces of what they use. We can also place some amount of trust that there's a body of people that have read code before we started using it, and that it's only the new changes that need the more review. People can also use reputation to make safety in review more economical.

Sandboxing is not bad, but it's not the only way that security can be achieved. Having a good social infrastructure also helps.

Author says "I am not Invidious", but they are in fact the project manager of Invidious.
