That part still works in modern browsers. What broke were the browser extension APIs for automatically saving to the file system without a dialog.
Well, my experience was modern mode is way more responsive, and I've convinced at least 5 friends on sight.
You arent alone. I despise variable refresh. I cant even stand VFR videos on top of VRR displays. But my eyes are extremely sensitive to various things that almost everyone I know either cant perceive or have to focus really hard to notice.

It can be a bit of a curse. LED headlights and taillights give me headaches. A lot of LED street lighting and business lighting hurts me. Etc.

I used to be basically unable to stand a CRT under ~85hz. :(

Get rid of your age.

I like the overview of your resume.

Try to work with headhunters in your region who get paid to find you a job.

Get to the interview stage..only way to deal with the pressure of interviews is to as many as you can and feel that pressure.

Say “I don’t know” if you don’t know the answer. You can learn anything.

I like your overall tech stack at the top but I include a one liner at the top of each job with the tech stack and versions for quick glancing.

Ex: your Lunni job says you are leading front end but I don’t know what you’ve actually done without the tech stack. That will be my first question in an interview (if it even gets that far). (I just saw the Gitlab link - that works for OSS)

Also if you have any education, any at all; even one course list it under a heading called Education.

Thanks and luck
Add as you get more or complete degrees/certificates.

Great question. It uses something called as Tid Scan, which kind of means directly reading from disk based on an address and Tid Scans are very efficient. The snapshot approach captured in the blog I shared, ensures consistency.

I have found that another long-term solution is to switch to rootless Docker[0] or Podman for local dev. That way iptables isn't mangled with because you don't elevate to a privileged user to use it. Not being privileged has some downsides, but I think the tradeoffs are worth it. Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop also is great on Linux for this reason, although, they both require a desktop environment.

(Not disagreeing with your point -- yours is a great/quick workaround -- it just seems that many people don't know about rootless Docker)

In my experience, the problem with vendor: What if a feature is missing? I see this often when I am forced to use a vendor product. And, on day one, no one (hands on) usually knows anything about the vendor product, so there is a huge learning curve. If you follow NIH, then you organically build knowledge in the org. And features can be added with time+money. (Sure, some vendor products will add features, but usually for an insane price tag.) You cannot win either way: They hardest part is knowing which one to choose.
The EFF complaints are specious FUD.

There are many VERY simple ways to comply with KOSA that don't involve censorship, most of which boil down to "don't make your money by using weaponized human psychology on children".

Does the bill make it harder for Meta to monetize and juice engagement amount the under-17 population? Absolutely. The job of Meta becomes much more difficult. They'll survive.

> astroturfers

I don't have any particular stake in this matter. I'm just sharing my opinion, as I do on many topics on this site, and sometimes I disagree with the Usent-cum-Slashdot-cum-HN hivemind.

It couldn't possibly be that there exist real humans who think that subjecting children to social media content recommendation algorithms is, in fact, probably a bad idea.

It couldn't possibly be the case that a bill with FORTY TWO co-sponsors -- damn close to half the chamber, and split equally between both parties -- is actually supported by a single real world human.

No. Must be astroturfing.

In the case of online safety for children, I think this corner of tech subculture has some deep-seated brainrot.

Or perhaps it's just that those sweet Meta RSUs have appreciated a lot and not yet vested...

Indeed this would mean my reasoning doesn't hold anymore since it's based on calorie consumption. The only thing that still surprises me, but that's no calculation and just a fact, is that you only need around 5x more joules to move a 1800kg car vs a bicycle according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport) even tho the car weights >18x more.

On the matter of calorie burn staying stable, I had never heard of this before! Will be very interested in checking it more in detail as it seems like a very important thing to take into account when trying to loose weight, surprised this research isn't more widely known! Thanks for the feedback and article.
It's why I switched my Model 3 to just report battery percentage instead of estimated range. Their charge usage algorithm in their route planner is very impressive. Even across 300+ km trips, I've never seen it out by more than a few percent. From what I can see, it's most affected by wind. I guess they don't input weather into the estimation model.

My experience is that real world usage gets me about 85% of the advertised range for most of the year. I average around 160 Wh/km for the driving I do, so with a pack capacity of 75 kWh, that's about 470 km. Advertised range here in the EU was 530 km.
The value of research isn’t just in the ideas. It’s in the grounding of ideas in fact. It might be able to suggest interesting experiments, but those experiments still need to be carried out.
Right, unless they’re marking non-leaf pages as “read” — which would imply marking the root — it would have to be snapshot, right?

Otherwise you can’t properly abort the txn because a “select x where y” that was previously empty, no longer is.
You wrote:
low capital costs to produce something

I don't understand that phrase. Probably a large team of very well paid engineers developed this product. Bloomberg is well-known in the industry for paying well. "[L]ow capital costs"? This software probably cost millions in salaries to build, and millions more to maintain over the next 10+ years.
Are you talking about the Wired piece linked by smartbit ?

If so this seems like an unfair summary given the piece is very long, the first half sings technical praise, the second half laments the challenges faced, and there's one single small paragraph (that I saw) that mentions some Signal users as possible boogymen:

The company’s aggressive pursuit of growth, coupled with lack of moderation in the app, has already led Signal employees themselves to publicly question whether growth might come from abusive users, such as far-right groups using Signal to organize.

which seems more of a cautionary note rather than a hit piece.
sysco also delivers ingredients, they're not the best quality, but I was at a place where everything was from scratch and most of the produce and ingredients came from sysco.

> If an error is thrown from Lombok code, you’re misusing Lombok.

I mean, that's fair, but if you're using it in a team based environment, eventually someone's going to misuse it and you'll have to figure out what happened. I think how bad things go when you misuse it is a valid consideration, even if it shouldn't dominate everything else.

> It gets way more hate than it actually deserves. Spring does 100000000x more in terms of making code based confusing to navigate and confusing errors yet receives very little criticism from the Java community.

I mean, I don't think you're wrong, but I'm also not in the java community. The few times I've forayed into there, it seemed more like a dynamically-typed (or more accurately, stringly-typed using only the names of config) annotation language rather than java. And if I wanted string-based typing and confusing semantics, I'd just write my whole project in bash.
If I hate something I would try to sell it immediately. Did you sell it?

Otherwise it looks to me that your rant is just for karma collecting.
One of the big things to remember with VRR is that you will incur a latency penalty of a couple of frames if your game is running right at the maximum refresh rate of your display. This is why it is usually recommended to set a system wide framerate cap a few frames below the maximum supported value.

For most modern gaming monitors, this isn't a huge deal. Cap your game at 140 FPS on a 144hz display and it will feel as snappy as it probably would have uncapped. Though if you have a lower end (or ultra high resolution) display that caps out at something much lower, like 60, then I can definitely see how leaving it uncapped with VRR disabled would feel a lot snappier.

Early Freesync-branded displays could also be a bit of a crapshoot for a variety of reasons, but this has gotten much better in the last 5-6 years.
For the point I mentioned when I asked about it
Claim Jumper is barely around, they have closed many locations in the past decade and Landry's sold the entire chain to a group of franchisees, if I remember correctly.

CJ was quite good back in the day but I have not been to one in years -- in my opinion, quality declined a bunch and doesn't match up with their prices. Cheesecake Factory, on the other hand, has maintained high quality, tasty food in generous portions (in my opinion).

About every quarter, I get together with a group of friends a few hours away and we have an all-weekend LAN party. They all live in the same area, and have wives & kids so usually people are in and out as their schedule permits, but we all hole in up a house and play games for a few days. It's fantastic.

It's also allowed me to completely deal with any video game addict urges that I get. If I feel the urge to start playing some recently released game, I just tell myself "Ah, I'll play it at LAN", and then I don't need to play in the moment. The urge goes away. So now I only play 2 days a quarter at LANs (maybe 8 days a year total), whereas previously years of my life would go into games. It's been a hugely positive thing for me.
wow, i always thought that park just had low effort landscaping, but i guess the dense thorny thickets are intentional
Good summary of the book.
> How does it compare to NATS.io?

They're fundamentally different designs.

Garden variety NATS (i.e. the non-"Jetstream" case, hereafter) is "at most once" (messages will be lost.) BlazingMQ is "at least once" (>1 delivery of a message will occur.)

That difference is down persistence. NATS doesn't persist messages to stable storage. BlazingMQ must use persistent storage. From that all sorts of application design, performance and other implications are derived. And they all matter. A lot.
You get the feeling ol Martin has been out of the game too long?

It feels like he's only catching up with what many have been doing for decades building high performance teams.
That sounds like more of a problem with your display than with VRR itself.

You could probably fix it by capping your game's framerate to whatever it can maintain consistently within your monitor's VRR window. This would give you a smooth consistent experience, without screen tearing or vsync-induced lag. Since it's not working in a fixed refresh rate container, you can do more unconventional numbers too. I like to run a lot of games at 90 FPS.
Nuclear is simply still too expensive to “overbuild” on, if we got costs down then sure, but we can’t just magic up all the capital needed to build and even maintain the plants, even if they are cheap to fuel. But right now solar, wind, and perhaps more hydro (if we aren’t at our limit yet) make more sense.
What about the ones I regularly see posted here showing the ocean warming at a worrying pace?
Cheesecake Factory is not like any of these.
You're correct to a degree, magically eliminating FF use now will not stop warming increase for some time (damn heat and gas equations and lag), but

we do have the option (whether we take up on that) to

* reduce input visible light by (say) using space bubbles to gently shade earth, and|or

* extract C02 from atmosphere using big industry scale procesess powered by excess renewable energy (and then to sequester that CO2 rather than use it to make more faux green synthetic fuels that return it to the atmosphere).

These are not easy things, these are things that require nation scale commitment and follow through, but yes, options exist.

How big was your company? I think beyond a certain size, independence of the team is the prize. You are not alone, for you have your mates. Beyond your team, trying to collaborate is like herding cats. Every team has its own priorities, everything moves more slowly, and the more stakeholders there are, the greater the risk of the project falling through. Bezos' stipulation that teams communicate through interfaces was a stroke of genius. This created a standard which allowed teams to self serve.

I agree that teams must collaborate to go farther. One team can only do so much. Management should make sure all the teams stay aligned and hold them all accountable, but the teams themselves should still strive to be independent.

It sounds like what your organization needed was a project manager to co-ordinate or a forum for the teams to share information.
You have misunderstood several aspects of this law.

> I also oppose these bills. The effect of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which I have read, is that anyone under 18 years old would be prevented from viewing any content that a (most likely inaccurate) classification filter deems "harmful".

The law specifically excludes sites that are not predominantly user-generated content. So if you are running a website about trans issues that is not predominantly user-generated content, KOSA does not apply, even if you are running that site for-profit.

The law specifically excludes sites that are not run for-profit. So if you are running a non-profit forum for trans kids to discuss trans issue, KOSA does not apply.

The law specifically excludes websites of educational institutions, so if you are child development professor or academically affiliated doctor at a for-profit university running a for-profit forum for trans kids to discuss trans issues, KOSA does not apply.

I also argue -- vehemently -- that the first two cases (not user-generated, and/or not for-profit) are exactly the type of websites children should be seeking out for information on sensitive issues.

Even if this law resulted in AGs banning trans content -- which I find extraordinarily unlikely because there are far simpler legal theories and state AGs abusing KOSA this badly can many other statutes that require less legal contortion -- it wouldn't apply to by far the most valuable sources of information and community.

> It is ridiculous to expect a website to censor any content that can induce anxiety or depression

Indeed it is.

> which is what the bill requires

No it does not.

Food distributors have to take reasonable measures to ensure that they do not sell spoiled or tainted food. Food poisoning still happens.

Auto manufacturers have to take reasonable measures to ensure cars protect occupants in case of collision. People still die in car crashes.

The bill requires reasonable measures taken in design and operation of social media platforms.

The intent here is that it should be illegal for Meta to juice under-17 engagement by algorithmically boosting content that leads to "doom scrolling", and the wording of the statute is designed to limit scope to that intent.

This really is a bill about for-profit weaponization of human psychology against minors.

To be blunt: the public, including me, are fed up with Meta/YT's for-profit algorithmic manipulation of children.

Free speech existed before Meta started printing billions by getting kids addicted to social media, and will continue to exist after.

Sysco delivers food, no more, no less. They deliver what is ordered. If you ordered canned breakfast gravy, that's what arrives. If you order fresh produce, you get what you asked for. Now I'm not saying there are not better sources for top quality fresh ingredients out there. But it's also not accurate to equate Sysco with strictly premade garbage.

DIVISION G--UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA DISCLOSURE

SEC. 9001. SHORT TITLE.

This division may be cited as the ``Unidentified Anomalous
Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023'' or the ``UAP Disclosure
Act of 2023''.

SEC. 9002. FINDINGS, DECLARATIONS, AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings and Declarations.--Congress finds and declares
the following:
(1) All Federal Government records related to unidentified
anomalous phenomena should be preserved and centralized for
historical and Federal Government purposes.
(2) All Federal Government records concerning unidentified
anomalous phenomena should carry a presumption of immediate
disclosure and all records should be eventually disclosed to
enable the public to become fully informed about the history
of the Federal Government's knowledge and involvement
surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena.
(3) Legislation is necessary to create an enforceable,
independent, and accountable process for the public
disclosure of such records.
(4) Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and
testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified
anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been
declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review
as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note;
relating to classified national security information) due in
part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42
U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation
of ``transclassified foreign nuclear information'', which is
also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby
preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of
law.
(5) Legislation is necessary because section 552 of title
5, United States Code (commonly referred to as the ``Freedom
of Information Act''), as implemented by the Executive branch
of the Federal Government, has proven inadequate in achieving
the timely public disclosure of Government unidentified
anomalous phenomena records that are subject to mandatory
declassification review.
(6) Legislation is necessary to restore proper oversight
over unidentified anomalous phenomena records by elected
officials in both the executive and legislative branches of
the Federal Government that has otherwise been lacking as of
the enactment of this Act.
(7) Legislation is necessary to afford complete and timely
access to all knowledge gained by the Federal Government
concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena in furtherance of
comprehensive open scientific and technological research and
development essential to avoiding or mitigating potential
technological surprise in furtherance of urgent national
security concerns and the public interest.
