I haven't looked in a long time, but the last time I did look, there were any number of places you could connect to gratis, but which do not carry binaries groups. A non-binary usenet server is lightweight enough to run on the 80s Internet so the costs of operation without all that storage and retention is pretty minimal.
Yeah, you can't just say software fell off a truck like physical goods.
Generally, if you modify either the Linux part OR the proprietary part on a smartphone, the machine will fail to boot (i.e. the software will not run). This is a deliberate design goal, cryptographically enforced, and it is not implemented in physical hardware, but in the very software in question - the boot process includes some sort of "integrity check". This is the clearest possible statement of intent to integrate the two into a single combined work.

LineageOS proves nothing. It's a separate work.
“I really liked how you tackled this, have you thought about this approach?”

I hate this because it’s usually just a shit sandwich. “Great work. Actually it sucked. Keep going.”
Free speech as a principle is much broader than what’s protected by the first amendment.
They're not just dismissive, they're pretty obviously bad faith arguments. "CO2 is plant food" is a classic climate denier talking point that you hear from your crazy uncle on Facebook, who's parroting something they heard from a pundit on Fox News.

Water is also plant food, but that's not a helpful piece of information if you're in a flood. The world is releasing 97 million barrels of gasoline into the atmosphere per day.
They are also part of the first generation of mass computer/internet usage, like us. And they were often slower to adopt a smartphone. So they could very well be going through their "first 5-10 years of internet" experience. The fact that they're old right now might just be a distracting factor.

Or maybe it is indeed a hint that social media is more likely to be used by certain age brackets and we can think of it in waves:

* During teen years you use it for 5-20 years

* You get sick of it for 10-20 years

* You enjoy it again in the 50-70 age bracket

* You stop caring again after 70+
I agree, Im a big fan of everything he does but I see zero chance that X can become the everything app.

Governor Newsom in California is proposing a constitutional amendment that radically limits the absolutism of the Second Amendment. It's high time we do the same for the First Amendment -- specifically a money-is-not-speech amendment and an amendment criminalizing hate speech. Free speech absolutism got us Kiwi Farms, Gamergate, and Trump and put marginalized folks at risk of harassment, injury, and death.

(One nice side effect of these amendments is the Republican Party may well shrivel up and disappear, as moneyspeech and hate speech are the Republicans' stock in trade. Every plank and policy in their platform is traceable back to one of those two. The Democrats have an enormous moneyspeech problem too but there at least exist principled Democrats willing to do the right thing without input from corporate masters.)

One of the things the Germans realized is that if you want to enjoy a functioning democracy, you must silence people who hold antidemocratic views well before they become too powerful to be stopped. Accordingly you face criminal charges in Germany for spreading Nazi propaganda. Most of the freest, most democratic nations in the world are like this. Why isn't the USA?

Hint: the USA is not a democracy. It is an oligarchy of the power elite, formed by the power elite for that very purpose. It's functioning as designed, and radical rethought of the Constitution is well past due.
Also disliking popular things is just a fundamental part of American society. You’d think Musk would get this, given that his whole vibe is “king of the misanthropes.” There’s no way “everything under one brand” works here for long enough to escape the fate of us turning on that brand.
You're basing this on what exactly ?
Have you never had a co-worker do something in a way you appreciate for it's skillfulness but doesn't quite address what you asked them to help with? Have you ever put extra effort into something and done your best, only to have someone ignore your accomplishments and focus on what you did wrong?

You don't have to like the result to like the co-workers initiative.

Sounds like a dysfunctional workplace, or at least a very bad manager, if one has to secretly help colleagues. I'd leave that boss or job as soon as possible.

Giving praise should always be OK. Rephrasing feedback for bad work as praise also sounds like a bad idea. In my experience, negative feedback should be honest, clear, constructive, and private.
There was an early art collective called the videofreex that defined what you’re talking about in terms of channel direction. Basically they defined media in the 1980s as being one-way channels where there was no response from the audience whatsoever, and they saw this as a form of control that strengthened class divides. They were excited about creating a two-way channel communication network because they thought it would break down the social hierarchy.

I think what you’re talking about is sort of like the recreation of the one-way channel within a two-way channel. Technically we can respond, but the amount of power our voice has has been lessened dramatically over the years.

I talked to one of the members of the videofreex recently (which is how I know about them), and his attitude was the classic “bittersweet nostalgia for my overly idealistic youth” attitude. He still thought he had a point, but he also felt like he underestimated A) the amount of problems that would come from disinformation and B) the amount of control that the old powers would still retain. I think he saw the structure of the media as reinforcing the social hierarchy, but now it’s looking like the structure of the social hierarchy was what was reinforcing the structure of the media… or maybe just a little feedback loop between the two… anyway the point I’m making is that just cause the media changed doesn’t mean the social hierarchy has.
What a great visualization for this.

I'd prefer to use space (or underscore) instead of T to separate the date and time parts, but generally stick with T to avoid problems with anything that can only handle ISO 8601 (and to be consistent).
It's infeasible and unreasonable to think that in order to criticize and advocate for a change in society, that person needs to be outside of it. Having an iPhone doesn't change any of what they are saying.

The impact of the plastic material for those products is a fraction of the energy required to make them and run our modern life. Clean power and getting rid of fossil fuels that are burned for energy is the most important thing here.
Two questions:

1) What is the reasoning behind 6 digit years? Surely any system contrived today will not exist in the year 100,000.

2) ISO 8601 is prolific. Is RFC 3339 well used/adopted in any system?

I'd never looked into CGNAT so that is really interesting, and yeah, yuck.

From what I can tell though I'm able to get to a webserver running on my local machine and hosted off my public IP through a paid VPN. That indicates to me I am not behind CGNAT from what I understood of the wikipedia.

I probably missed something : )
yeah i worked at jobs where it was ra-ra how you described it and they were pretty awful places in the end.
I actually dislike Teams because of the Office integration. Teams where I work ends up with 10’s of ‘teams’ with 100’s of channels. Each channel having its own set of documents that have been uploaded and added as tabs to a channel. It’s impossible to find anything, but even when you do, you end up with a half broken version of web word or excel that fills the page so you can’t chat anymore.

I’d rather teams did 2 (albeit complex) things; Direct & Channel chats (with one or more people), and video calls with one or many people. If I want to use Office, I’ll use the right app.

It feels like Teams is trying to do too many things, and it’s bad at all of them.
I never understood the "correct in private" stance. How can others learn who did not do the mistake? The argument to have critique in private only is probably because of ego and honor culture where people feel personally attacked in topics where it's not about them at all but about the actions they have taken in a professional context with rules and expectations.

But I fully agree on not talking to the manager, but praising in the full team instead.
> fewer countries it needs to subsidize by maintaining the strength of the dollar.

This makes zero sense.
It's okay. You can complain to your union (which is run by your company) or work for a competitor (which is also owned by the same conglomerate as your company).

At least your leader is no longer brainwashed by a shaman who channels her dead father while taking bribes from those conglomerates [1]. That father who was also your former military dictator who followed the great tradition of torturing and murdering socialists and worker leaders with the CIAs help.

Mastodon really serves no purpose.

If you want to find a sense of community with real discussion, you join a threaded discussion forum with like-minded individuals. If you want to scream in to the ether and have other people "follow" you, that's what Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok are for. Centralized ether screaming will always be better than decentralized ether screaming because ego reinforcement from counters is a "more is always better" kind of thing.

I suspect this is due (at least partially) to the relatively recent rise in credit card rewards. Many more cards than in the past are giving rewards, and that requires increasing the fees charged during the transaction. MC and Visa recently announced a fee increase, which tracks with this trend. In response, vendors are saying enough is enough and pushing customers away from credit cards.

Good article. My teams frequently had problems with logstash. It's harder to do logging than you'd think.
> A slippery slope fallacy (SSF), in logic, critical thinking, political rhetoric, and caselaw, is a fallacious argument in which a party asserts that a relatively small first step leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant (usually negative) effect.[1] The core of the slippery slope argument is that a specific decision under debate is likely to result in unintended consequences. The strength of such an argument depends on whether the small step really is likely to lead to the effect. This is quantified in terms of what is known as the warrant (in this case, a demonstration of the process that leads to the significant effect). This type of argument is sometimes used as a form of fearmongering in which the probable consequences of a given action are exaggerated in an attempt to scare the audience.

Reality is that nothing is done in a vacuum, every action matters, every discussion matters, everything we utter matters.
Modern java is a fairly good language. If you don't like it, can always opt into scala, kotlin, or clojure. I don't understand what you mean by Java not working on multiple platforms. If you like c#/.net that's fine but why try to put down Java which has been cross platform for a long time?
I get near zero engagement on twitter these days. I can post the identical things on both places, and twitter is just tumbleweed. I have ~17K followers on twitter, and 3K on mastodon.

I used to get a fair amount of engagement on twitter, but I don't have a paid blue tick - but I do have one via my employer. That makes no difference.
Whoever wrote that headline for the nytimes clearly hasn't heard the quote 'The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.' I doubt it's historically accurate if it's 'recognizable'.

Just hearing my still alive g-grandparents when I was a kid talking about their youth (1880s-1910s) made me realise just how different the past was. I can hardly imagine how different 1860 would have been.
Let’s break down your version: “I think it would be better if…” You start with an opinion. That’s going to cause any listener to put up their guard. It’s the beginning of any sort of confrontations. By saying “Thank you for the effort…” you are acknowledging the work they put into it and showing empathy by seeing their work they have done. If it isn’t correct, either it should have been course corrected by management or volunteer for the next one. If you think something should be done a certain away across the board, create a brown bag or lunch and learn where you evangelize it and get consensus.

You aren’t lying when you give praise about someone’s effort (unless they gave none, in which case why are you praising to begin with?), you would be lying if you said “You did a great job” when the solution is potentially tech debt for later. It’s a matter of communication and human behavior.

You wouldn’t praise someone by saying “I think it could be better”.

I sometimes wonder where Google would have been if those "buy cheap Rx meds from Canada" internet ads of the early 2000s were stamped out earlier. Those ads ran for years, and health, law and insurance ads are the most expensive ones to place from a cost per click standpoint.

The book is amazing, but it is also very extensive/overwhelming and I found that the lectures provide a better guiding structure for myself and the lecturers are also quite entertaining at times. The website also provides additional material related to the course such as exams, projects and lecture notes.

If a customer service has really helped me with my issue, I will ask if I can talk to their manager to let them know how much I appreciated their help today.

So far everyone sounded pretty happy about that.

I tell the manager that <employee name> really helped me with my issue and made me happy to be a customer of <company name>. The managers also seem pretty happy to hear that and some have mentioned that they will be adding that feedback to the employee’s file.

Yes I think that is very true about advisory. In the retail space a lot of the value prop for an advisor seems similar to a personal trainer -- someone to keep you accountable. At the "more money, more problems" level, advisors actually do become busy executing specific tasks -- monitoring and trading multiple accounts, negotiation among family members, real estate agents, or PE firms... -- tech is empowering advisors to do more rather than replacing them.

Interesting timing. Given the recent sentencing to death of a Saudi citizen because of tweets (and YT activity), is Musk still talking about how free speech on Twitter is a "bulwark against tyranny"?

(This is largely rhetorical. I know that KSA is a huge investor in Twitter and Musk's principals are malleable depending on how much money there is to be made.)
ok, that's reasonable. though you could specify attributes as (:foo bar) so that "(:" always starts an attribute. attributes without value could still be written without surrounding parentheses although always requiring them would make parsing easier.

HW accelerated rendering was supported at least as far back as System 6.0 in 1990

Classic MacOS used an API called Quickdraw, which was implemented as a series of graphics primitives (originally written for the Lisa as part of LisaGraf). Quickdraw implemented support for things like drawing lines, rectangles, etc. The original implementation software rendered them onto the system frame buffer.

Essentially all drawing went through Quickdraw, which made it a natural chokepoint to introduce acceleration, which is exactly what happened when Apple shipped the Macintosh Display Card 8*24GC in 1990. The card included a separate Am29000 processor (which was often higher performance than the host CPU), which had its own memory and an implementation of Quickdraw. Its driver patched the Quickdraw calls in the OS to RPC them over the bus to the card, which would then render them on behalf of the host. It also supported off screen rendering and DMAing the results back to other cards.

You could argue that is still software rendering, just on another CPU, but at the end of the day that is sort of orthogonal, almost all GPUs have some programmable components you need to load firmware into in order to operate. The key point is that there was an abstract interface the OS could use to offload rendering to some other device besides the main application processor, and the UI used it.

I honestly can't recall how much of this was still in common use by the time Mac OS 9 came around. CPUs were also much faster by then, and the move to PCI meant it was possible to use fast off the shelf PCI GPUs which may have changed the cost benefit ratios enough that it was best to just take whatever the GPU vendors were offering and software render into their frame buffers even if it could not fully accelerate all the same operations a bespoke earlier design could.

There is a contemporary write up of the card available here: http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/develop/issue_03/824GC_...
