Except I am willing to bet these sorts of people aren't promoted at a rate that is commensurate with their expectations.

This is a variation of what I might call the sycophant or nice guy paradox. The sycophant and the nice guy are desperate to be liked. They believe that if they prioritize pleasing people over the truth and what is morally right, they will be liked in return. Of course, that isn't what happens. No one respects the nice guy, and rightly so, because the nice guy is contemptible. He has essentially been shouting from the rooftops his lack of dignity and worth, his willingness to violate all true principles, and his readiness to comprise morally, for the sake of being liked (how lowly a person like that must be). The only people who are respected are the people who have staked themselves to the true and the good, not the Willy Lomans of the world. This, too, is similar to the hedonist: when pleasure becomes the purpose of one's actions and the things sought, they cease to be pleasurable.

When an employer sees that they can squeeze more work out of an employee for less money, then why bother paying them more? Do good work within the bounds of the contract. In general, if the employer wants more, he has got to pay more.
Duolingo for personal projects developed by a 16y/o
Hi guys,

I am a 16-year-old student from Switzerland, and I wanted to share a little app I developed to cope with procrastination on your projects:

We all know the feeling of being overwhelmed by a large project or goal, right? That’s where my little app comes in: With my app you can break your project down into smaller milestones. The app then takes this and turns it into a game where you can earn XP, level up and do daily challenges. You can kind of think of it like Duolingo but with your own projects (I myself use it e.g. to motivate myself to read more).

Then you can work on your projects in so called “productivity sessions”. They are kind of like workouts but for whatever goal you’re working towards.

It is free and you are not forced to watch any ads at the moment, there is just the possibility to watch an ad to gain some more XP but I myself never use this so you can ignore it too lol.

If you want, you can check it out at getpowerhour.com, but currently it is only available for Android, but don’t worry, there will be an iOS Version soon too.

I am more than happy to hear your feedback or questions, that's why I am posting here ! :)
I'd count myself as being a young person in the smartphone era, every job I have had has been post ubiquitous mobile data, and I don't identify with this "work emails" thing at all.

I don't know if I got a work e-mail after hours. Until 2020 there would have been no way for me to even know, my computer was at the office. After 2020 I closed it at 5/6/whenever the end of office hours was.

People talk about doing crazy hours being the way to be promoted. In my experience it is exactly the opposite, doing that establishes that you are desperate and will do anything for a wage. It's like being overly needy in dating or a relationship, people take that as an indication that something is wrong with you.
I have 7 LN46A's now and left over parts from others that had panel defects.
Check Reddark, which was posted here about a week ago. Most subs are public again: https://reddark.untone.uk/

I don’t think any significant subs went anywhere at all.
I’d be interested to see napping compared to getting more sleep at night. My guess is napping is beneficial to the average person because the average person does not get enough sleep. My personal belief is if someone needs an alarm to wake up, they’re not getting enough sleep.
> It gets worse; Microsoft datacenters have been allowed to use up huge amounts of drinking water for cooling; it gets treated to avoid clogging up the lines, heated up, then just dumped back in the river.

What you've described does not sound shameful OR wasteful?
OLEDs really struggle in daylight, but are certainly fine in dimly lit rooms.
My experience as someone who's in the tech sphere but writes not only about tech is that RSS is all but dead. Not sure if i'm an outlier in this but the % of requests in my server logs coming from RSS is very high.

Like you I tried to figure out how many of those are actual users to have a sense of how many people still use it and the numbers still don't make any sense to me.

That said, what do you think is the benefit of styling an RSS page? The point of the rss is to be consumed via an RSS reader so I don't see the benefit of having styles on a page like that. But maybe there's something I'm missing here.
Those are LCDs. The concern is about OLEDs (though realistically it’s one that is already largely solved at the high end, and that’ll percolate down)
Don't worry, 14 yo won't even get a chance to be exposed to this content - that's what age verification pages are good for, and Internet users are well-known for only ever submitting their actual date of birth on those pages.
That's where anti-trust law should come in.
I mean if that opinion was they can send commercial messages to unsolicited users I don't have to imagine at all. I've been on the internet long enough to remember the days before spam filters.
> A static list of required capabilities in some ELF header would probably be better.

I think I agree, the thing is that it's a kind-of security issue. I suggested pinning, because it requires CAP_SYS_NICE, which is a feature: If you allow apps to freely declare their usage, they will end up being scheduled not fairly, because system will stick them to P cores.

That being said, you could have indeed an ELF header mentioning since, and then ignore it if caller doesn't have CAP_SYS_NICE. I do feel using an ELF header for that is weird, but my knowledge of ELF is way too little to judge.

Another thing that could work is using file-system attributes or mode (like setuid), but I think FS support of attributes is at best spotty, and I doubt modes can be extended.
> The Cayman islands along with a few other tax havens play a nasty and selfish role in today's financial system that gives rich companies and rich people a massive advantage while hurting everyone else.

This is where you demonstrate your ignorance and bias.

Yes, there are American laws which allow US companies to minimize their global tax burden, but those are on America, not Cayman. The best we can do is ensure the money is well documented and visible, which we do.

Cayman is used not because of tax friendliness, but because if you’re going to put money somewhere which isn’t a major economy Cayman is the easiest and safest place to do so. It’s a neutral third location.

It’s easy because we comply with every global financial interop and transparency regulation. It’s safe because we have a large and strong financial services industry with British law.

And Cayman does not “generously skim” for ourselves. We have pretty minimal fees and a local economy of professionals. The primary way we benefit is services and expertise, which is how we level up our country and a contribution to the global economy.
Oh, Samsung are already "accidentally" sending out broken patches to TVs that happen to brick them. Coincidentally this happens just a few months after their warranty expires. Whoopsie!

It happened to me and it happened to a friend of mine, just a few months apart.

Never ever connect a Samsung TV to the Internet under any circumstances.
Before offering money for a shiny client, please find an instance that is outside of the top 5 and support them? :)
They have, especially big names that count on high follower numbers and analytics. I run across lots of accounts that have 2 or 3 posts, then stopped.
There are a lot of feeds now with titles and maybe a short paragraph of text, like the beginning of the article or a summary.

There is a world of difference between sites maintaining those feeds vs. nothing at all. Having a signal that an article is there with even the slightest amount of context is so much better than the alternative.

It's mildly annoying to visit a site for the full text (with your ad blocker), but signing up for newsletters etc. from each site one-by-one is really painful.

If I'm going to take 5+ minutes to really read something, it's OK to visit the site. That means something is interesting or relevant enough to invest my time in. That signal can usually be gleaned from a title and short paragraph. Compared to the number of new things published every day, it's relatively rare to find things worth those 5+ minutes.

From what I can gather, many people use RSS readers to follow 5-10 feeds, and they slowly look through and read most of the articles. It serves as a convenient way to follow their top few sites and maybe a few aggregators like HN. Other people track 100s of feeds and quickly scan what's happening, only diving into something if it's interesting or important.

I'm building a service for the second type of person (mainly because I'm that type of person, TBH). No idea what the ratio of "completionists" vs. "scanners" is. Having title-only feeds is not ideal for the latter group, but it's usually fine.
Singapore has been making and using "NEWater" from wastewater (sewage) since 2003. It forms only around 1% of tap water supplies, the biggest customers are industrial users like chip fabs that need really, really clean water.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEWater

It's worth noting, though, that Singapore has invested a lot into potable water tech like this not because it makes financial sense in itself (it doesn't), but because the vast majority of Singapore's drinking water is piped in from Malaysia, which thus has a literal stranglehold over the country.
You'll be fine with any of the existing technologies of today. In either case you will see luminance degradation over time, in case of LED-LCD or QLED also color-shifts of backlight zones.

But none of this is new. In reality, I barely heard people complain about their LCDs becoming more and more weak in brightness and color-tinted (usually yellow) each year. And yet, all of this happened to 100% of all LED-LCD panels.

> Edit: The QLED article is from 2019, that's quite a few yers ago for cutting edge tech. I imagine tech is constantly improving.

Yeah, there's alot of research ongoing to improve QD lifetime as a foundation for new LED technology. Here's one from Dec.2022 [1], and one from as late as 2023 [2], all with the subject of solving performance stability of the technology to become on-par (!) with common LED.

> Magically, fib is now fast

Any code you describe with "Magically" is going to bite you in the arse in about two months. Maybe three.

Leave magic to the guy who also does balloon animals at kids parties.
For pretty much any value of "an opinion that was the only one possible some 15 years ago", you are wrong. Other ideas were around at the time.
Actually let me share a story :

I usually never ever advise my customers to rewrite their app from scratch. And yet here i was, doing it for the 4th time in a row for 4 different customers, in just 2 years, simply because the codebase were a total mess each time.

So i thought "well, there's got to be a problem with iOS developers here in Paris". And so i decided to give a talk to the largest iOS dev group in Paris to show my model layer template.

I started with a poll : who has ever heard about "layered architectures" ?

Well, there was about 100 people in the room, and only 2 people raised their hands. I talked to them afterwards, they were both backend developers originally, and were absolutely stunned nobody else in the room knew the term.

So, that was just to tell you that the problem is a cultural one. Apple never ever mentions architecture in their documents / talks. So most mobile devs that start in this path start by coding fancy animations, and only much MUCH later, after a lot of projects turned ugly, do they start to realize there is another world for them to discover.
Could well be a strength of Java ;)
Remote work is great for me, because I can take a 5 minute nap after lunch. I feel much better the whole afternoon.
By the same logic all code I have ever written is a derivative work of all code I've ever read.
I collect rainwater and flush my toilet + wash my clothes with it. It's not safe to drink, but it doesn't smell of anything and is nearly transparent.
https://microcorruption.com/ works just fine for me. It was recently ported from my original serverside Go backend to WASM.
Requires connection to a base station (or 4). If you're already underground (or underwater) then real-time connection to that is going to be tricky.

Surprised to see bigger subs moving to BOTH kbin and lemmy. Could someone articulate the rationale behind that?
Oh, they’re going nowhere immediately. But if you’re a panel manufacturer, you’re probably winding up long term development; if the question is “how do we make better LCDs on a 5 year time horizon”, the answer is probably “that’s not worth investing in; in five years LCDs will be low-end only”.
I worked in mobile infrastructure at Motorola in 2002. The entire world had more advanced mobile systems than the US. We’d be selling/installing our best stuff in Africa & Asia, while American operators just wanted replacement parts for their existing tech.

The landline infrastructure in the US was so good, people didn’t want to let go of it. I don’t think people really changed their minds until the iPhone came out.
what programs are you writing where error wrapping represents a performance cost that's worth avoiding???
Only the links with a checkmark are official and from the mods of the subreddit.
Memoization is also entry level DP, and too easily confused with caching (if I had a dollar for every time someone equated the two, I could buy a baseball bat to knock heads).

If you want the power of dynamic programming you need to get at least as far as tabulation.
Yup very similar to you. 15 minute Power Nap and feel super good a few minutes after.
Yeah it really wasn't so far off now. Most of the people I knew had a cell phone (I had gotten it in '99) so there was definitely communication possible anywhere for the most part. In 2002 I was in a student apartment with decent wired internet, a Nokia cell phone (no texting plan), and was in touch with many people via AIM.

The mid 90's is probably more the time to blow the current generation's mind because that's when many households didn't have internet and virtually nobody under 18 had a cell phone.
Sure, but that’s not what this is about. This is essentially manufacturers saying “we’re going to stop trying to make LCDs better and concentrate on other technologies”.
Great idea, but that is the most toxic chat I have seen since Youtube when it first came out. You need filters asap in there.
I would guess never. The iPhone derives a lot of it's value from communicating with servers all the time. High-accuracy timekeeping just isn't valuable.
User profiling is a huge reason why Google works as well as it does. Location data is just one part of that, but a pretty big one.

If you remove that, it's as bad (or worse) than most of its competition.
It’s not for the wife, or against the husband. It’s for the child. Think of the children…
I will write another blog post about it eventually. Proxmox is connected to the network via additional external NIC at the moment.
There was just so much nonsense back in the day around Go's error handling and about how it was so much more straightforward than adding exceptions to the language.

In reality, the only reason why errors in Go work the way they do is that it kept the runtime simpler by offloading checking to the developer. The alternative would've been for Go to support sum types, which would've helped make error handling a lot saner, but that was dismissed because they overlapped a little with structurally-typed interfaces (Go's one really good idea). Oh, and the stupid hack that is 'iota'.

And then Go eventually ended up badly re-inventing most of what exceptions do with errors.Is(), errors.As(), and fmt.Errorf("%w", err).

It's such a hot mess.
Wouldn't it be better if there was a Wikipedia page, that would track where big communities (currently) resides?

Eg. former "/r/thiscommunity" now resides on "XXX" and "YYY"
former "slashdot.org" now resides on "news.ycombinator.com" and "lobste.rs"
or something like that.

I don't get this list

/r/3DS is active and not moving. The Discord is there for years. The lemmy instance is not affiliated with the sub (and it has 0 activity compared to the sub)

The kbin AITA has only 2 posts from a week ago. While the main sub is still alive and active with thousands of comments on each posts

etc.

Feels like this a site for showing alternatives to the subs not "where Reddit communities have relocated" which is very misleading

This is the first I've ever heard of "server load" as being any factor of federation, let alone the primary point.
I recommend this and Dan Boneh‘s crypto I MOOC to all my SWE reports. You’ll get enough familiarity to use libraries well and enough fear to avoid rolling your own.
There is certainly a difference in either technology or implementation. I've seen LG OLED TVs get noticeable lettering burn-in after a couple hundred hours and on the other end of the spectrum that guy left an unmoving bright-dark pattern on his OLED Switch for over a year straight before seeing any.

There’s tax mitigation and tax avoidance, and I feel like you’re conflating the two.

If your country allows a company to locate money somewhere else and not be taxed on it, that’s on your county, not on us. The best we can do is make sure it’s visible, which we do.

Not OP, and I don't use proxmox, but in my case the host is just another client of the router. Of course, if the router is borken for whatever reason, the host won't get any updates. But if that's the case, upgrading the host is unlikely to be my top priority.

If I really need to update the host with no router: I plug my iPhone via USB, and I'm off to the races.

The vast majority of podcast content is distributed via RSS. In fact if its not distributed via RSS, no one is listening. It’s so important its even advertised as part of Spotify’s podcasting platform.[0]

Of course Spotify has incentive to prioritize you listening in their app, but they can still put ads into the audio feed so it doesn’t matter as much to them. And your state-owned radio is absolutely limiting their audience by not using the accepted standards for podcast content.

Yes, styled RSS feeds don't provide any value when consumed by RSS readers. But when I visit a blog and click an RSS feed link for the first time, it's nice to have a short preview of the existing posts without having to parse XML visually. The main benefit I see is however to educate people who don't know what RSS is. Imagine a person clicks "RSS feed" and all they see is some strange-looking file. On my feed [0], there is a big banner with a short explanation and a link to learn more about the technology.

He doesn't own homes at all.

And Twitter hasn't been paying the rent for offices, some stopped paying rent after the acquisition, some several months later. News stories about the issue haven't restarted rent payments. So it doesn't look like a case of "oops we fired all the people who do X" (where X could be 'pay rent' or 'legal compliance').
I can't disagree more with this. Running any modern language is magic. If you don't want to use magic. You only get to write assembly or maybe C. Not that I agree with this solution.

I'm sorry, but anything that requires a programmer to memorize this many rules in order to avoid shooting themselves in the foot is deeply and fundamentally flawed and needs to be completely redesigned from the ground up. There is a reason that modern programming languages include actual data strutures and don't just treat everything as a string of bytes. That might have been a good idea in 1973. In 2023, not so much.

So... use a shell for interactive work if you must, but never ever write a script for one. Use Python or Ruby or just about anything besides a shell.
