> Once the wheels fall off Visual Studio for Mac, Microsoft recommends accessing its IDE through Windows in a machine virtual on the Mac or in the cloud.

Hmm that sounds appealing /s

JetBrains Rider is the only viable alternative now.

VS Code on Mac may catch up, but I dislike it as my primary IDE for C# (great for lots of other things though).

Overall I think this is a mistake on Microsoft’s part unless they are also planning a significant move to pull out of cross-platform app development too (ie iOS/Android + desktop).

They are crippling the app development story for .NET on Mac now IMHO, and it wasn’t great to start with. This weakens an already quite fragile ecosystem for creating Mac/iOS apps with .NET. This is on top of MAUI being launched before it was ready and Xamarin being discontinued much too quickly.

This seems like a strong indicator to me that I should not pick .NET for greenfield cross-platform (mobile) app projects going forwards.
- After hitting Florida, Hurricane Idalia is crossing into Georgia, bringing powerful winds and potentially life-threatening conditions

- There are almost 270,000 people without power in Florida and nearly 140,000 have no electricity in Georgia

- Though the eye of the storm has left Florida, the National Hurricane Center warns "dangerous" storm surge still threatens coastal areas

- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says there are no officially confirmed storm deaths, though Florida Highway Patrol says two drivers died in crashes

- The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency says Idalia is the strongest storm to hit this part of Florida in more than 100 years

- Some areas of the state have been flooded, with water inundating towns and rendering major roads impassable
Entirely depends on how extensive the patches are. FAANGS will all have their own kernels with custom patches, some of which will find their way back into the distros, and some which are kept in-house for custom reasons. It isn't necessarily that burdensome.

And I was involved in doing this at Amazon (although a long time ago now).

NVidia also doesn't really need to fundamentally fork the linux kernel to do this since drivers are already a pretty hard API boundary layer. They won't need to touch the TCP/IP stack, scheduler, etc. Their version of a "fork" would be "add back the API which is being removed here".

The headphone market is booming though. Headphones like the Beyerdynamics DT 770 PRO, so the big ones, are more popular than ever. It's true that for the small wired ones that go in your ear, the ones that go more into the ear canal than sitting near it seem to be more popular right now. But the other kind still seems to be very popular, Apple has their cultists convinced those are the best thing (I'm kidding, no position on my side what's better, but they are sold a lot because Apple sells them). And there are many alternatives on the market. I could buy the Sennheiser MX 375 right now. Where did you get the impression that that category is dead?
I thought it was in the merchant's agreement with the credit card processor: When you sign up to accept Credit Card X, your agreement with them is that you cannot charge a different price for cash vs credit.
if you don't have a source for your claim it's as valid as i'm claiming that you are a stegosaurus.

You believe there is no violence on the left? Shall I pull video of people being beaten and pulled from their cars during BLM "peaceful" protests? Or of the police captian that was burned alive in a store? Or of the Nashville mass school shotting for which the FBI is still withholding the manifesto that has it been a right wing person would have been on ever news outlet the next day?

Not defending anyone, I am pointing it out is not left / Right. it is Authoritarian vs Libertarians.

Authoritarians are violent, that is how they weld authority. Right, left does not matter, In this community (technologists) people tend to want to believe only Right Authoritarians exist, and only Right are violent. That there is a nazi on every corner, and that nazi is a republican...

Yes, in this case that's it. However, that comment's emotion is driven by Google's fondness for eliminating products so quickly. Diatribe or not, this is how people are reacting to Google's "oh just kill it" habit. fwiw, it's not the only comment in this tread that's effectively called Google untrustworthy, and for good reason.

Note: I'm not questioning your loyalty to Google; to each her/his own. However, there are others given Google's history who feel they've been "second time shame on me" too many times now.
The author is using a NEMA plug, which provides level 2 charging. That's not suitable for road trips. When we talk about infrastructure for charging we are almost always talking about level 3 charging like those 350kW stations at Electrify America.

That said, even if we restrict our discussion to just level 2 (sometimes called destination chargers, for a reason), the main cost of installation is to run new lines to the parking lot or wherever they are located. The main cost is not the EVSE. Tesla sells one for $500 for example, and no-name brands sell it for half as much. If a property is already upgrading their infrastructure to run multiple 50A NEMA outlets, the incremental cost of equipping them with an EVSE is tiny.
yet i bet they are goign to go to the other direction, and you'll have to pay extra subscription to dismiss the ads. Perhaps they 'll also remove physical features, to sell them as accessories. It's strange how competition works nowadays, every company competing to please their shareholders more.
Isn’t this just HDMI-CEC? I don’t think it requires Sony hardware but I could be wrong.
this was not a service, it was a pricing scheme.

if you add an entry to the graveyard every time a company changes their pricing structure, you're going to have a very big graveyard.
> Can you specify what you mean? If the pipe wasn't properly connected, it shouldn't start at all, because the system needs pressure to release the brakes.

These pneumatic systems leak. You're not allowed to park a train for longer than 24h in Germany if it is purely secured with air pressure for that reason - if it's a particularly bad composition, you seriously risk having no pressure anywhere in the system by that time, and thus no brakes being applied.
This only works if you’re willing to give people free electricity. And if you’re willing to do that, you might as well make the existing DC fast chargers free too.
The issue I've run into re: storing files as BLOBs in a database has been the "impedance mismatch" coming from others wanting to use tools that act on filesystem objects against the files stored in the database.

That aside I've had good experiences for some applications. It's certainly a lot easier than keeping a filesystem hierarchy in sync w/ the database, particularly if you're trying to replicate the database's native access control semantics to the filesystem. (So many applications get this wrong and leave their entire BLOB store, sitting out on a filesystem, completely exposed to filesystem-level actors with excessive permission.)

Microsoft has an interesting feature in SQL Server to expose BLOBs in a FUSE-like manner: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/b...

I see postgresqlfs[0] on Github, but it's unclear exactly what it does and it looks like it has been idle for at least 6 years.

One thing missed out here is that most home chargers(in the UK at least) are essentially 240v 32a sockets. The complexity, though, comes from ensuring that they are safe, so they have complex earth fault detection in place - this is mandated in the UK at least. Without that, you could have a very bad day.

Great idea, but the devil is in the details, and many electrical rules (like aviation ones) are written in blood.
It's not going as fast as the tesla. iirc the wind resistance goes up as the square of the speed (I need to find a ref for this, I read it all the time, I guess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation).

Anyway, you can't compare a bike going much slower than a vehicle. If we were riding bikes, at much lower speeds than 70, then no doubt we'd be getting vastly more distance for energy used. But that's a separate argument from the impact of weight on energy usage.
I’m also older than 62% of the US population, and have only 34.9 years left, so you’re on the younger side of that percentile slice.
Isabelle Wilkerson’s book, Caste, really opened my eyes on this subject. Highly recommend for Americans looking to learn about our own caste system.
I have experienced pixel clock errors on Linux, but can't say in this case if the monitor, cable, or GPU is unable to handle full resolution at 144hz. The CTA-861 (HDMI metadata) block contains a mode "3440x1440 99.990 Hz", or 1440p100 with a pixel clock of 543.5 MHz. I don't know if this 100hz mode functions on Windows or not. The DIsplayID block instead contains a 144hz mode with a pixel clock of 799.750 MHz. Both of these modes may be within DisplayPort bandwidth limits or not, depending on the link rate and bits per pixel (this EDID says "Bits per primary color channel: 10"), and may also be supported by the display or not.

I do know that Linux X11 (amdgpu kernel driver, modesetting X11 driver) tends to drive my DVI 1080p display with too high of a pixel clock (too large blanking intervals) when connected over a HDMI-to-DVI cable from my GPU. I believe this is because there's actually a duplication of mode selection logic between the amdgpu kernel driver and X11. I've reported another (system hang) amdgpu/X11 resolution bug at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-amdgpu... with no progress towards being resolved so far. Neither bug appears on Wayland, but mainstream Wayland desktop environments (KDE/GNOME) do not allow adding custom resolutions through xrandr without overriding EDID files and either rebooting for the kernel to see it, or touching files in /proc/ (untested).
This really defines the problem. (1) we approach child rearing as an economic proposition, and (2) it doesn’t make sense to as an economic proposition.

But the more we fight the second proposition, the more we reinforce the first.

Trying to make kids less expensive still treats this as a financial calculation.

When you ask “why have kids?” there needs to be a real answer, and I don’t think “the economic public good” is going to convince people.
The new in-person identity check for GOV.UK One Login
Irrelevant now that everyone is moving to NACS. Free level 2 chargers are just weather-proof plugs - the Tesla wall connector is $500 and can be installed by any electrician anywhere.
Historically and culturally the higher castes are more educationally oriented so it wouldn’t be surprising. The caste system is rapidly breaking down but only for about the last generation. I presume it’s going to take time for representation within college professors being one of the most erudite fields. On the other hand, there is tremendous representation within the government, judges, police, teachers, civil servants, engineers etc. Modi the PM is an OBC, the president is also OBC. A very large number of politicians are from lower castes.
The author seems to be overestimating what level 2 chargers actually do. They are really just switches that turn and off the electricity after you pay (and it verifies with the car). So his idea here of replacing all those complicated level 2 chargers with a regular outlet plus a way to pay is.. actually just what a level 2 charger already is.

DC fast chargers are considerably more complicated though.

Noticed this yesterday, probably going on for more than that. Makes me wonder if this is the twilight of the project. From what I heard in internet rumor that was always kind of the expectation from the person running the thing.

I did a look around to see if there are any services that duplicate the functionality but I didn't find anything terribly compelling.
Honestly the commute trumps all of this for me. Sure open office is a pain but whatever I’ll make it work. Can pack a lunch if necessary, and shit at home.

Two hours one way? I’m not sure I can do it. Could I at least be located in the office closest to my house? No, that won’t be possible, how could you possibly communicate with your team. Just a giant middle finger.
> While the atrocities and punishments by "upper" caste people on "lower" caste people continue, even OBCs oppress SCs and STs quite badly [...].

This is the step 1. in ensuring any oppressive system continues to be supported by a majority / critical mass of people, who are themselves subject to oppression: make sure there's someone even lower than you, on whom you can unleash your frustration.

It doesn't take a medical degree to conduct information analysis on the whole psychiatric academic industry and field. They just bluntly lie their ass off on a constant basis and all research is mostly manipulated from money-making incentives. The rabbit hole is actually much deeper than that and it boils down to a capitalistic antagonistic society that thrives on making people sick to pump the value of the currency.

The only credible and actual effective approach is described with this fairly new book from Chris Palmer (professor assistant at Harvard university):

While this should be especially true for destinations, such as hotels or even apartments, there still needs to be fast-charging infrastructure for road trips. And right now, the not-Tesla charging infrastructure is hot garbage.

Half the plugs don’t work.

The other half is at 1/4 speed, or less.

And because it’s all mostly older people, they don’t understand that it takes like 30 minutes to go from like 0 to 50% but 45-60 minutes to go from 50% to 100%. Which is annoying because:

With so few chargers, and the ones that are working at slow speed, it is VICIOUS out there. People in Porches yelling at other people to get spots.

I don’t know what it’s like for Tesla people, since its twice as much to charge than at the other chargers, but right now the road trip experience for EVs is awful just because of so few working chargers.

This is before you get to the 20-30 minute charge times.
EV chargers aren't this "dumb" for one simple reason: they need to be able to charge you for the power used.

A dumb outlet, if metered properly, would still need some app or something to be able to restrict you from just taking power infinitely. That's not scalable, unfortunately. It can be offered as an amenity for certain businesses, but as more EVs exist, you'll likely see these free offerings go away.

Most RV parks that let you use an EV charge you per day. And it's usually quite expensive, far more than the power you'd consume. $30-50/day isn't unusual.
What are you going to do, NOT accept card payments?

The sky high rates in the US is because fuck you, deal with it. It's pretty explicitly wealth transfer from poor people to credit card companies, with a small kickback to well off credit card users to make it popular and hard to regulate.
It's likely that one Amazon or UPS truck delivering 100 orders a day is better than 100 people driving to the store separately. It's hard to say though, because most people are driving to work or grocery shopping, etc. anyway and all they are really saving is one or two detours for things they don't need immediately, or wouldn't be buying at all if it weren't so convenient.
I had a PS5 and an LG television, it integrated just fine. Including the Playstation Media Remote. Could control volume to my sound system, television controls and playstation interaction just fine.

This sounds like a "your television not following standards" (HDMI-CEC) problem and not a Sony one.
I had a late 1990s Audi wagon (A4) and eventually replaced it with the most comparable late 2010s Audi, which was a small crossover (Q3). Ignoring performance specs, my wagon could have compared to a late 1970s Volvo wagon I used to see all over California. The internet tells me the curb weight of the Audi wagon was 3350 lbs, the crossover is 3690 lbs, and the old Volvo would be around 2760 lbs.

When the crossover was in the shop, I was given a Mustang rental because the shop was out of normal loaner cars. I had no real experience with them, and was shocked that the Mustang felt larger and much harder to park than my crossover despite the compromised interior. So it is interesting to me that you quote such a high curb weight too.

I don't quite understand it. The "density" of cars seems to vary and yet they all have similar mass. It really does make me wonder how much it is engineering necessity versus some kind of weird regulatory mess where the engineers are targeting certain weight classes in spite of very different packaging.
IFF is probably pretty useful.
> I never understood how my parents raised 5 children.

My 2*(grand)mother raised 11 children. From what I've heard from other family members, the key to success is not giving enough emotional and material support to each child.

What I'm trying to say is: the expectations on children quality of life are also much higher vs 100 yrs ago.
Agile was introduced as a less-rigid and more efficient alternative to waterfall-like processes that were widely used in the 90s.

The new methodology was quickly pre-empted by middle managers as a new power tool, Scrum mostly replaced Agile because of all the weird cargo-cult rituals and sexy names.

My experience with it has been widely negative. People staring at the void during "standups", bullshit amplification, ticket misuse and misread by management.

Never seen any improvement from it, only overhead and demotivation.

The writing is top-notch, congrats to the author. I disagree with the conclusions, but totally do agree that the depravity of porn that's basically forced on you from front-pages is a problem. So where's the "wholesome porn" vendor? The market is certainly there. Even just a site that actually let you exclude things you don't want would be a huge step. Why IS every porn site trying to normalize incest, for example? Excluding tags is extremely low-hanging fruit to implement, and the fact that none of the sites I'm aware of have actually done so indicates to me that there are some perverse incentives going on. Pun intended.
I learned HTML and CSS mainly from MDN, so that's where I suggest you look. As for stuff I use in css most often I can only recommend a few articles and such. Learn how to use Flexbox and CSS Grid though for sure (as those are the two most modern ways to layout an HTML page) as well as CSS Positioning [0] (which is some of the older ways to lay things out).

For JS there are some online books that are gold mines the problem is finding them. One is Eloquent JavaScript which is available to read online for free here [1].

Though I've never actually finished the whole thing it does a pretty great job explaining JS to the uninitiated.

My other favorite books in JS are actually all from the same person Axel Rauschmayer. All of his books are available online for free here [2]. He has a really good way of explaining in my opinion and his books kind of take out all the fluff.

The music industry thinks every sound is a remix at this point, it's pretty bad example of where we want to go with copyright and ip if you ask me. Most artists get jack shit, every single thing is considered a remix or sample, and the majority go to the few at the top.

If you simply hum a tune you make up on the spot a music industry lawyer would probably declare you owe them money.
Large SUV's are actively make the roads less safe overall though. It's a tough collective action problem.

It probably makes sense to at least remove the implicit subsidies of them though (they should never have been allowed separate emissions treatment aimed at commercial vehicles), if not something like the article suggests.
