While I disagree with the idiots arguing that the BRD is not a legitimate state, I have to say the linked document somewhat skirts the issue that the members of the Parlamentarische Rat indeed considered that there should be a new constitution which should be voted on by the people after the reunification.

The fact that this did not happen was the subject of significant debate and in the view of many at the time a missed democratic opportunity.
I use ACDSee for RAW development and photo collection management. It uses XMP sidecar files, but I don’t know if it’s compatible with Photoshop. I suspect not (and I don’t care, I stay away from Adobe). I also accept that someday ACDSee may go bankrupt, my copy can bitrot etc, so I just export all my edits to 16-bit ProPhoto RGB TIFF, to have a high-quality lossless version for archival in addition to the low-quality 8-bit sRGB JPEGs I publish on the web.
For every anachronistic ritual there is always some simpleton who believes it to still be legally important. I give it about a week until one of the "freemen" idiots gets ticketed for using a soldering iron to create his own wooden license plates.

That would be very expensive. To be able to afford that, the prices need to crash seriously hard.

The only part of the budget not getting cut is the military portion, so good luck with that.
Wikipedia has a map of the ownership of federal lands here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_federal_land.agen..., the yellow lands are the lands never sold and largely represent the stock of available federal land. The green lands are parks and US forest (which is often, but not always, parkland as well in some sense); the red isn't the federal government's, it's Indian; and the other land is owned by agencies for their own purposes (most notably the military, and the resale value of former weapons testing ranges isn't great).

As you say, a lot of that yellow land is basically desert or semidesert and uninhabitable. Although that understands the nature of the problem, since the US did manage to sell off a large swathe of uninhabitable land--the High Plains was sold off in the late 19th century, only for the Dust Bowl to happen and people to realize that in fact, no, this wasn't good farmland.

From your link:

"The expectation was that if you took paddlefish milk and fertilized a sturgeon egg, nothing would happen. When they crossed the Russian sturgeon eggs with milk or spermatozoa in the milk, the expectation was it would not hybridize from the paddlefish"

This is a quote from an expert who didn't expect it to happen. And you're presenting that to me to suggest that it was expected. I don't normally say this but: you're wrong.
What I implied was it might not be a big thing for smartphones, but there are a lot of IoT devices out there that will fail the 3G sunset.
I can't wait until this happens for an ad.
It would be interesting if a side effect of this proposed legislation, Android manufacturers stop pumping out new models as aggressively. It would make sense if that's how it turned out, because these manufacturers would effectively be crafting their own support nightmares by continuing to put out new models at a high cadence.

This in turn should make for better parts availability since the window that any given model is manufactured in is wider. It'd also incentivize sharing parts between models where possible.

All in all, positive for the end consumer. It might've been a problem in the earlier days of smartphones, but the category has more or less plateaued by now and so the benefit of high model churn with each new model sharing little with its predecessor is dubious at best.
Walkable does not imply expensive. If it does, that's a (local government) policy choice.

There's one publisher, "Yiotro", that I like to boost. I think it's just one eastern European guy who has published a dozen or so games. Pretty much no monetization, except for some enhanced versions of a couple of the games. I recommend Antiyoy, I've barely gone a day without playing it for years.

Very simple, abstracted games.
There's also PlayCanvas and Three.js which have been around for a long time.
Owner of a CRV 2022. On my recent 200-miles trip, the tire pressure sensor lighted up. I pulled over to a station and filled the air (and before I filled the air, I measured the pressure on each tire and it was fine). It didn't go away. Had anxiety the whole trip about whether there was a leak in any of the four tires.

After the trip, went to the dealership's workshop (btw, if you live in FL, NEVER EVER buy from Rick Case; they are scammy as hell in terms of pricing the cars as well as the maintenance fees). They said the pressure sensor sometimes got triggered and it needs the electronic reset to make it go away.

I think these electronification of cars is going too far and I'm really afraid in the future, I'd have to go to the dealership's workshop to get any minor glitch fix.
Last time I gave an explanation, it was to someone who thought he was my "boss"... Instead of telling him no, i told him why he had no reason to tell me what to do... I probably should have told him no or fuck you like you suggested
I do love the idea of the American Government giving a damn about low income folks. Unfortunately, any time a politician cares, our entire system destroys them to keep the inequality machine fueled.

We use Slite extensively at work. Works pretty well to quickly create/edit documents with a nice editor. When you type Markdown, the content automatically resolves the styling/headers/lists. Multiple persons editing a document at the same time is (of course) supported. And every document can be exported as Markdown or PDF.
I have Affinity Publisher (InDesign) and Affinity Designer (Illustrator). One-time purchase, no account required, just a license key is needed.

It more that suits my needs, but it has a clear ceiling. This is a prosumer app, and works fine for those needs. If your workflow requires Adobe-only features, then obviously it won't be the right fit.
Once you hit 300+ sites, with attachments and custom fields, it starts to be one of those ‘I am going to pretend this will app work out if I ignore it’ things rather than an easy afternoon project.

> This is ideologically zealotry compared to major platforms.

Only because our expectations have been so bent out of shape by "major platforms", thus unbending somewhat seems radical in comparison. The mere absence of "what major platforms do" is not IMHO in itself a zealotry.
World war. Civil war. The rise of autocracy. Easier to fear “the other” if nobody’s ever met them.

Wrong. The person who got 2x wealthier will effectively be priced out of any market with limited supply. Maybe the odd person values TVs more highly than land and property, but for the rest of us, it would definitely feel poorer.
Quick solution: Pull over on the highway shoulder. Get rear-ended by a truck. Get injured. Sue the car company on the basis that their distracting in-car, while-driving, notice system contributed to the accident. Whether you win or lose, that will be the end of such popups.
I think the kinds of quality issues people are taking issue with are primarily with the power-trains. No doubt some other features have seen disappointments especially the infotainment systems like you said though.

Toyota only recently introduced a brand new Truck engine which replaced their previous 5.7L naturally aspirated V8. Presumably because they sell a lot of smaller cars they were able to keep the 5.7 for so long, it got worst-in-class gas mileage. But their clients loved that engine and there's only one reason you completely ditch a SKU the vast majority likes, emission standards. It's all being driven by emission standards. I'm not saying that's a totally bad thing either, I'm hoping to one day walk down a busy street and not have to breath in toxic fumes. But I think we all should know what the actual cause is that's helping drive car prices up and predictability/dependability down.
> Now I need to write a dockerfile, loads of manifests, know about ingresses, use whatever custom tooling and abstractions they've built on top of the cloud provider.

Doesn’t sound like there’s a whole lot of platform engineering here.

The general aim for a platform engineering team should be a UI/CLI that allows a dev to get a new service into production in minutes. Metrics, tracing, monitoring, alert routing, logging, DB, CI/CD, service/RPC stubs etc all done for you so you can get to writing code fast and not worry about the tower of complexity underlying all of this.
Except in a restaurant, the chef gets paid. In this platform, value is extracted from the chef, the waiter, the eater, the eaten, and their interaction, while tearing down societies. Not a fair comparison.

Are Theory and Systems the "soft" and "hard"* of CS? In principle, one gets to the same mountain-top no matter whether one starts ascent on the theory or on the systems side, but in practice, it seems departments specialise in routes on either northern or southern faces.

You have a whole-ass computer that can run software made to read Markdown, what do you need Google Drive for? Adjust your workflow, the tools exist.
Totally agree, both my wife and I were able to WFH when the kids were young and as a Dad I got to spend so much time with them that I wouldn't have otherwise if I had been in a 5 day WFO role. Gymnastics/dance classes, school pickups and drop offs, play dates etc etc. It's the small stuff, but so many memories.

WFH meant my wife didn't have to quit her job and was able to continue to advance her career.

Now it meant catching up on work in the evenings after the kids were asleep, but it was totally worth it. With both of us being able to WFH, we could schedule things so that each of us was where we needed to be work-wise for meetings/calls etc.
Reminds me of the time I ordered a $5 nano drone from AliExpress, and after 2 months Indian customs sent me a very threatening ‘show cause’ notice demanding I pay $50 as a fine and appear before the customs officer or whoever to explain why I should not be prosecuted for the illegal importation of illegal goods (no drone with the letter of course). I opted to ignore the matter

I remembered growing up with a the children of a customs officer. Every now and then he would show up with boxes of confiscated pirated movie / game days discs, asking us to pick what we wanted before he was going to return the rest of lot to presumably be ‘destroyed’.

So I’m reasonably sure some some customs officer’s kid ended up enjoying the $5 drone I ordered. The circle of life I guess?
I agree with this. Most people have know idea what markdown is, and if they do use it, it is usually the text format behind a WYSIWYG editor... Some examples: Slack, Github...
Not easily.

I've done and helped with a fair amount of hiring for organisations large and small, and some liars are very convincing in email and via agents. Other hirers tell me that their experience is similar.

At some point have the candidates in person in front of you and have them discuss with you something basic but important to make sure that they are not an utter fraud (yes, I've seen it). DO NOT do complicated coding / whiteboard tests which frazzle the wrong people and are somewhat cruel and are unlikely to select the right people. Too many such tests seem to be about the tester's ego, not the testee's value...
I recently had to start using Lastpass for work and I am absolutely mind-boggled at what an all-around terrible piece of software it is. I have my complaints about 1Password but those are peanuts compared to the mile long list of show-stopping bugs and UX problems I experience every day with LP. Irredeemable garbage.
A sandbox would have to stop network access, otherwise the program could spread to another machine or leak your data.
Indeed, Astérix is French though! Other recommendations I can make are "Les Tuniques Bleues" (the Bluecoats) or Mélusine the Witch. For adult readers, "Largo Winch" or "XIII" are both excellent comics.

I assume it's a complaint about how iOS devices are computing appliances - they're much less open than the PCs that they've come after.

From my point of view, I'm extremely glad that they're computing appliances and mostly locked down. The younger people here probably have never had the "pleasure" of removing 568 "helpful" toolbars from IE6. For people who just want to use a few applications, a locked down device is simply superior to a more open computer.
Came here to upvote this. It's a book about UI design, but targeted at software engineers. Turned me into the "resident designer" on my last team. Can't recommend enough.
Well, I use Stylus, and it works fine on Android (but you need to use a "custom addon collection" to add it, which is only available on Beta and Nightly). I see no reason why Stylish wouldn't also work.

You use the word "profit" like it's something that only evil capitalist robber barons can do, but we should all want everybody to be profitable. That's what it is to have an economy.

Yes, fatcat wall street stockholders want the companies they hold stock in to be profitable so that they receive a return on their investment. But small local business owners want to earn a profit so that they have a take-home income that they can use to feed their family. Even bottom-rung workers employ their labor in such a way that it profits them. You wouldn't work a job if it didn't earn you a paycheck every two weeks which they you can use to buy food, shelter, furniture, electronics, etc. that give you a higher standard of living than what you could make with your own two hands. Everyone everywhere is always trying to get out more than they put in by being intelligent about what they put in. But if you're very young, or very old, or sick, you can't play that game. That's part of why the rest of us are trying to amass profits: so that we can all chip in some of that surplus to donate to those who need it. And eventually, we'll be part of that group ourselves, which is why we try to save for retirement.

It's a given that we all have to expend effort to stay alive and comfortable in this world. You have to do that whether you're part of a bustling economy or a hunter gatherer in the woods. But if you're part of a bustling economy, there's a chance that everybody can live an easier and more comfortable life because 1. people get to specialize their work towards what they're best at or what they enjoy most, and 2. because you can build on the shoulders of giants by using existing designs and infrastructure to more efficiently capture what we need from the ground, soil, etc. A growing economy is even better because it makes it a good bet that if you lend your money away to people who have a short-term need for it, they'll be able to give you back more than what you originally handed them. And because that person who has a short-term need believes that an infusion of money now will make even more profit than what they'd give back, they'll agree to that deal. Those conditions are good for supporting an aging population because you can give money to the most active and productive people, then get back more right when you need it.

Without a growing economy, none of that logic works anymore, and everything becomes less convenient for everybody - the elderly most of all.
Teaching programming alone usually takes up several courses in a Computer Science programme. Why would reasoning about programming be any simpler? This course is about reasoning techniques for imperative programming. E.g. loop invariants, preconditions, postconditions, and so on. I imagine you could fill many University courses with all the verification community has to say about this topic.

Actually, Google drive does work with Markdown. I store markdown there all the time. (after all markdown is just text)
Yeah - I'm spitballing on what to do with empty office space that no one would possibly want to buy if we don't go back to offices.

I garantee you that keeping em empty isn't lucrative, so we gotta do something with them. Housing makes some sense.

What are you suggesting?
Back when 1Password honored its offline, non-subscription license we bought, we could store the encrypted vault in a cloud storage service like Dropbox (or your own server) and simply set up other instances of the 1Password client to use the vault on that folder.

Don't go to a dealer. Go to a tire shop. They will know more about the problem and will be far more willing to tell you what is actually wrong. You may just need a new sensor battery.
If you pass -verbose switch to any of my programs you'll definitely see a line similar to this:

verbose: Configuration file found at $PATH.

There are a couple of places I look for my config files: /etc, ~/.config and "./conf", at that order. The last one accelerates testing a great deal.

And every configuration that overrides the built-in defaults are reported one by one.

Also, I started to detail how configuration file works in README.md file, under its section now.

Lastly, I decided to fix all of my tools to work on same specs from now on, regardless of the programming language they're written in:

1. Use TOML, and TOML only.

2. Config file overrides the defaults, Command line flags overrides the configuration file.

Why do you trust Google and Microsoft, companies known to spy on their users, rather then some small company who would go under if someone found out they spied on their users?

I'm not saying everyone that's using Google or Microsoft are stupid, I'm trying to understand why people trust Google and Microsoft, is it because so many are already using them, or is it that you have been using them for a long time because you had no other choice ?
Old people whose kids have left home should be a great demographic for smaller cars. There is a dead comment here that blames this on a vicious cycle of feeling unsafe in smaller vehicles next to giant pickup trucks. To me that's a big part of the reason.
That's only true in situations where relative wealth doesn't determine standard of living. For example, if someone is able to outbid me and buy up more than their fair share of the finite housing supply leaving me without a home, if a wealthy people can afford better schooling and therefore can outcompete me for desirable jobs, or if a wealthy person gets a greater say in government due to being able to donate to politicians.
Probably mostly companies stuck with long-term contracts.

The global company I work at uses it, they have an enterprise-wide contract. Migrating to something else is just a massive PITA, extra costs & sure downtime.
Android seems to suffer from a phenomenon similar to "Windows creep" where performance decays over time for no reason in particular, even for users who are good stewards of their devices. It's more of an issue for some devices than it is for others for reasons that are unclear.
My favourite books on design, both fundamental and UI/UX specifically:

- Universal Principles of Design

- The Design of Everyday Things

- Don't Make me Think

- Rocket Surgery Made Easy

- Defensive Design for the Web

- Forms that Work
This is a good list.

One thing I've seen junior UI/UX people struggle with is preparing their designs to be understood by other people. That could be stakeholders, yes, but I'm thinking of the developers tasked with using them to implement the feature.

Teaching this could touch on softer communications topics: how and when to run a meeting, or give a demo, or ask for feedback. But, I'm also thinking specifically about things like annotating and redlining designs to focus engineers on the important parts, and reduce ambiguity. Also, how to write stories in (e.g.) Jira and document components in (e.g.) Figma.

Even just "how to keep a tidy design canvas, knowing other people are going to be poking around in there, and will rely on it not being a chaotic pigsty"

Another thing to think about: what skills differentiate a successful designer working in a remote, asynchronous environment, versus one working in a traditional office? In my view, it's important to spend even more time gathering clear requirements, and document everything (especially decisions, risks, questions, and so on) in a public way.
> how would you codify "recreational risks with a reasonably high probability of peril" in law

Leave it to the agencies who need to actually conduct the rescues. The APA’s public notice requirements should ensure it’s predictable.
