First, try to negotiate on what's being delivered. there's lots of ways to cut corners and cut down the amount of work that's being done. don't be afraid to take on technical debt, if that's the company's attitude. Look for ways to reduce scope and cut things down.

and if that doesn't work, you just go on working at your own pace. they may or may not fire you. It's not the end of the world if you do. You'll always be able to get another job, that's how capitalism works. it's all part of the regular life cycle of getting a job.
Parking is impactful but is ultimately shaped by human preferences that are revealed by the choices people make.

For example, you can live in NYC car-free, but many (most?) people move out to the burbs once they have a family, partially because lower density + car enables better family life.

What works well for a single-and-dating young professional, doesn't work as well for a dad. If ample parking makes family life easier, that is probably a pretty good tradeoff.
>I've not heard of too many cases where organizations intentionally skip RHEL releases.

I assume you mean major releases. Less common than minor releases but, especially for air-gapped equipment, it's not that unusual.
The real pain, though, is opportunity cost: while studios are missing out on multi-window revenue and paying for their streaming service and trying to simultaneously acquire customers and stopping them from churning, they are also forgoing revenue from established services like Netflix that would not only happily pay them for their content, but could actually justify a much higher price given their significantly larger user base across which that cost could be leveraged.

I don't quite understand Ben's point here. He seems to be saying that the Hollywood studios should stop trying to run their own streaming services and instead sell their content to companies like Netflix instead. Wouldn't this be a horrible long-run move, in that the studios would just become commoditized suppliers to Netflix, Apple etc, who will ultimately either buy them up or cut the studios out of content production entirely? I can see why the studios would want to go it alone for as long as possible.
> It's clear that it's not the noun "content" but the adjective, defined as "pleased with your situation and not hoping for change or improvement".

No, it's not the adjective. The other 2 features are nouns, so this one must also be a noun, since it's a parallel construct. Also, they're all "features", so they have to be nouns by definition. And what would the adjective even be describing?

In this case, the "content" refers (I guess) to the content that's being communicated, though it's poorly phrased.

The Wikipedia excerpt is badly written, whether you agree with the GP or not about the article being biased towards women. It's not even a paraphrase of the original source, which claims the content is the communication itself, whereas the article claims the content "represents the ability to communicate personal information" — which is pretty meaningless.
Definitely agree that Java has come a long way recently and not at all looking to start a language war, but I think that at the very least Java should share its "next evolution of Java" podium with Kotlin.
I LOVE the new bike lanes on the Mass Ave bridge. Total game changer on how often I actually want to bike into Cambridge now.

I wish the other sides of the bridge were better for bikes, too, but I'm sure they're coming with the next re-paving/maintenance of those roads.

I'm not reading into anything. This is a discussion about people buying stuff and Ford cutting the price because no one wants it.

You disagreeing with them buying a certain vehicle because you subjectively don't think they need it, isn't relevant to the discussion at all.

Would you like to explain why your subjective take on disliking F-150's or trucks in general has anything to do with whether the Lightning is a competitive product? What does this have to do with the average truck buyer wanting a truck?

You responded to a comment telling someone else they were out of touch with what people wanted. You response to this individual was that YOU personally don't like trucks and don't think people need them. How is this representative of the truck buying market?
Saying there's no parking and there's no free (as in money) parking are two very different things. Parking in the downtown of one of the ten largest metro areas in the US is going to cost money. That's just how it is.
I'd go further than that and suggest they have no interest in patching this because the product is working as intended, hence their aggressive response and banning of the reporter. Can't have people challenging both the business model of echo.ac and raising awareness of a feature they would prefer remain concealed.

All the compromised devices that participate in high-profile DDoS attacks that even Cloudflare can't mitigate are coming from somewhere. My guess is that they're selling access to this "vulnerability" for such purpose as a side business. Malicious apps have gone from turning on your webcam, to mining Bitcoin, to stealing your Bitcoin, and now we're at recruiting your device into a botnet.

Yeah I paid $10k for a car 10 years ago, and I spend all-in (insurance, maintenance, gas) about $2k/year on it. Long-run, it probably depreciates by a few hundred dollars a year as well.

> because the raised barrier to entry makes gun crimes vastly less attractive.

Is that assertion based on study or "common sense?" It may well be that they don't feel the need to bring a gun because they know their victims are definitely not going to be armed anyways.

The real question would, do the criminals not use a weapon at all, or do they use weapons that just don't happen to be guns?

> broad social safety net that reduces poverty

People aren't being shot in the US because of poverty. The _majority_ of "gun violence" in the US is actually suicides. It's nearly 2/3 of that terrible statistical category. The remainder of murders typically involve alcohol and arguments.

The majority of murder victims in the US know their murderer by name and have been acquainted with them for years. Means. Motive. Opportunity. These things don't change.

It is kind of a big deal, but I'm kind of disappointed the bridge is still standing. This is the second attack, and the damage seems to be something the Russians are going to fix. Don't get me wrong, with the amount of defense Russia threw at this bridge, it is an accomplishment and yet another embarrassment for the Russians.

An opinion of mine is that Firefox's market share has to be greatly under-reported at this point. Built-in, on-by-default tracking protection disables some of the impact of exactly the sorts of trackers that report this sort of market share data. I think that's why the numbers vary so much depending on where you look. No other browser seems to have reporting problems like that.

Plus, one of the major sources of such market share data is and has long been Google themselves and they have such a massive conflict of interest there, but so many people interested in market share data rely on Google numbers because they rely on Google as their advertising landlord defining the markets in which they buy ads.

Ignoring mobile, I don't think Firefox's market share has "dropped" on desktops. Anecdotally, everyone I know that used Firefox has stuck with it or deepened there reliance on it and I know enough people that left Spartan Edge for Firefox when Edge went Chromium to wonder if the market share even went up somewhat though depending on your market share data nothing like that is visible either. (And others point out the problem with mobile marketshare and that being the majority browsers for people's time. Firefox on iOS looks like Mobile Safari because it is Mobile Safari and gets counted as such.)

It's not uncommon to buy a nice new pickup every 2-3 years even if the old one is still working fine. Some people have an aversion to paying taxes, so they buy new equipment they don't need but could use.

It reduces their taxable income, but minimizing taxes and maximizing net worth are not always aligned.

The hospital doesn't employ me. They pay my group to cover call for them, but we are legally an entirely separate entity from the hospital.

And, as long as whoever you want to do your anesthesia has privileges at that hospital, you can use them. We're not the only ones who can work there; we're just the ones who have to take any case any surgeon who has privileges wants to do. (This creates its own set of headaches; there was an ENT surgeon who did all of his quick, easy, and profitable ear tubes and tonsils with a different anesthesia group in town, but if the tonsil bled at night, he would call us to do the much-worse-paying and unscheduled surgery to stop the bleeding.)
One of the coolest things about the Gripen is the support infra. Even while in the fancy hangers, all support equipment is in 20 foot containers. This makes it very mobile when the fancy runway gets a few holes put into it. Also, only one professional soldier and a few conscripts can service the jet, all while standing on the ground, with mostly automotive style tools.

The efficiency of turnaround is something that is incomparable to all other fast jet systems of which I am aware.

The most informed analyst on this matter appears to be Justin Bronk [0]

If I was an F-35 buyer, I would also buy some more Gripen-C if at all possible. That should be the "High/Low" mix in 2023 and beyond.

If I was king of "The West," I would have had sent all available Gripens to Ukraine months ago.

Solders in warzones frequently wear gloves, encounter debris, shoot guns, or are exposed to extremely noisy conditions, which would result in an inadequate signal-to-noise ratio for reliably and quickly sensing fingerprints and/or voices. They also tend to avoid unnecessarily emitting RF which would give away their position to enemy forces who have advanced signals intelligence gathering.

Yes, it would be possible to do what you are saying. However, militaries find this undesirable because they find the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

Definitely. Problem is that doing this helps you get published, not hurts. I think this is why there's often confusion when industry tries to use academic models, as they don't generalize well due to this overfitting. But also, evaluation is fucking hard, and there's just no way around that. Trying to make it easy (i.e. benchmarkism) just adds up creating more noise instead of the intended decrease.

Lol, I wonder how many of their fact checkers silently used Wikipedia to verify the facts outputted by the AI.
While I don't think it's possible to write an article on a controversial subject that no one will take issue with, it is possible to write with a generally Neutral Point of View, which has been a guiding principle of Wikipedia since the very early days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_vie...

Making a flat statement that the gospels are "not independent nor consistent" is not settled or universal assessment. An article written in NPOV would discuss the variety of citeable interpretations and the debate between them over time.
In my experience farmers have proper vehicles for towing: a class 8 truck and several agricultural tractors.

> of course you'd need bigger parking lots than seating space

There is a tacit assumption in your statement. Of course you don't need vast parking lots around stadiums, and there are plenty of real-world sports arenas that don't have those (some examples [1][2][3]). The parking that there is is structural, and most people simply use public transit to reach these places, which are often located in moderately densely built areas. So, allow me to restate your claim, with a different assumption:

Of course you need great mass transit connections to a stadium, how else would people reach it?

Edit: But yes, people also don't have a good intuition on how much space cars actually waste in bulk. For example, many people don't seem to realize how much space it saves on roadways if 50 people sit in a bus or or tram or train rather than in 30 or 40 cars. Indeed, any rational motorist should be enthusiastically in favor of any project that makes public transit more attractive or accessible, purely for selfish reasons!

We use Oracle Linux where I work because we used to use Solaris. At one point it looked suspiciously like Redhat had explicitly removed support for some Oracle hardware from their kernel and the UEK saved us. Besides the kernel they also offer a few other extras and optional newer versions like dtrace, support for some extra filesystems and newer KVM. I get the impression that the fact that they're underdogs in the Linux market helps to keep them honest. Much of their key staff are clearly open source advocates even if Larry only cares about money. And while the Oracle support is not up to the standards of the old Sun support it really isn't a bad choice. And it'd be easy to switch away if we ever need to.
Yup. Just like in America, construction needs those huge pickups, while around here everyone just uses a van.
1. The OP is a PM, not a developer

> My preference, and I'd guess their preference in most cases, is to not allow any state to outlaw abortion.

Yes, but that is the preference of anyone who believes that they're right and the others are wrong. Federalist pro-life voters certainly bemoan that any state allows for abortion.

The whole point of making constitutional amendments is that you either have to:

A.) Have over three-quarters of representatives or states willing to vote with you, demonstrating overwhelming will of the people, or
B.) Understand that others disagree with you that the given thing should be codified as a right. In this case, being able to move to places with the rights you want to have enshrined is a good option.

You inspired me to do the same.

It's my first comment here: don't buy any puri.sm products. Or better say, think thrice before doing so. I used to own Librem 15 v4 which I bought in April 2020. Everything was bad. Just barely usable as a laptop. In January 2022 I spilled a water on the keyboard and some keys got stuck, so it kept on typing some letters sporadically. Tried to replace keyboard –> 150$ + delivery because it's the whole top panel to replace. No. OK, disconnected the keyboard and bought a compact Lenovo keyboard (also appeared to be a trashy thing). Half a year later the battery died. No chance to replace, out-of-stock, not even on chinese eshops.

Also, I preordered Librem 5 all the way back in 2019. Decided to cancel the order a year ago – still waiting for my money to come back.

Puri.sm gave me an impression of a scam copmany, unfortunately.
Hah, what a great article.

I play chess (poorly for the time spent on it) and I'm also a reasonably successful founder of a couple software companies. I find my struggle with chess is that I want to act intuitively, something that has served me well all my life in other avenues. But the board doesn't lie and if you don't think thoroughly you will get punished.

I have the capacity for it, I can think thoroughly in puzzles and perform much better there than my on board play but I just struggle so much with the discipline during regular games to falsify my moves. So much so that I've mostly given up on trying to improve despite really loving the game, it just grates on me. I know I could be better but I lack the discipline and I guess I just don't want to exercise that discipline in a game.

Anyways, great article.

Interestingly, the first time I heard a coil whine in a laptop was with the M1 Pro MBP. I never had it with any PC laptops. I found that it depended heavily on the electric wiring. It happened semi-frequently in Brazil, but almost never in the UK.
I bought my current MacBook Pro, used, in 2016.

I drove it 54,000 miles around Africa on the worst roads in the world, using it every day in the heat, humidity, dust and sun. I drove it 30,000+ miles around North America using it heavily. I drove it 36,000 miles around Australia, using it at least 30 hours a week in the dust, heat, sun, etc.

It's had many dings and bashes and a few drops.

It still works great, and I've never repaired a thing on it. The charger has duct tape on the worn cables, and battery life is down to about 3 hours with light use and less than an hour editing HD video.

That's what I'm looking for.

>Oracle Linux... set aside your automatic (and justified) repulsion

I can't for two reasons:

1) The only way I avoid the repulsive side of Oracle in this is if I don't care about having a reliable guaranteed enterprise support contract. No one is going to have more expertise in how this distro is built & functions than Oracle, and that's the no-go zone.

2) It's not just about the current status of the project but also the future and what happens if this author is successful and lots of people switch over to Oracle Linux. Nothing stops them from switching things up at short notice (unless I pay them for a service guarantee!) and pulling the rug out from underneath the whole thing. And the more that people adopt it as their distro of choice, the more likely Oracle is to look around for some way to monetize it at gun-point (well, crippling legal bills at least)
But that's also a more niche audience. The people who've bought a steam deck (myself included) are more likely to care about, and know about, hardware. When selling to an audience that can't evaluate the build quality as easily you have to rely on shorthand. One common shorthand is that plastic things are bad build quality
