Yes, but it is _rough_. What actually hurts is "browse on mobile, buy on desktop" type behavior.

Still worth doing, but you end up needing more black magic than you'd like (IP-based assignment, Ad Network-sourced assignment, CDN proxies for Analytics tools, etc).

Working on a separate post about that.
Well, I search for products I want constantly. I'll describe what I want to Google or an actual salesperson and see what comes up. Then I'll refine the results if necessary. I don't consider that advertising. I'm looking for information and others are supplying me with it.
It absolutely is and rightfully so.

If you see one person buy something then not use it, that's a fact, but if you see a lot of people do the same then it is a pattern. If there is a common pattern of people buying "betterment" products then not using them, you should evaluate why you won't be yet another statistic.

I use my standing desk for reference, but the larger point is that a lot of people buy them and then don't use them for whatever reason. Likely don't think through what they're trying to solve and how often throughout the day they think: "wish I was standing right now."

This issue is a reason why you should buy the cheap version of whatever it is first, then upgrade when you out-use the cheap one, rather than going all in on those $500 shoes or that $1500 exercise bike. Applied to standing desks: Try a "Standing Desk Converter" or a cheap IKEA standing desk for $300 instead of a high end motorized one for $1K+.
No, it is not. It is clearly not.

"needs to have the fknt installed to edit your design" is referring to use the font on a computer, through some app. There's no mention of a client using the font on their website.
> no amount of money will remove the billboards I have to drive by on the way to work. I’ll never be able to go to a sports event without advertisers bidding for my attention

I don't want to be too pedantic, but it's worth noting that having a substantial amount of money can indeed resolve this issue.

For instance, being chauffeured means you don't have to pay any attention to the road unless you choose to do so.

Moreover, ad-free services like NFL Red Zone are available, or to your point about attending a sporting event with sufficient wealth having a private box can insulate you from 99% of sports event advertising.
If my character wanted to retire, I think they'd need to sell the house and move to a low-cost country. Maybe it could work in the US if they're old enough to qualify for social security.
Right now if I don't like the working conditions I leave for a place that has better conditions. I've never had to take a long unpaid break because I don't stick around long enough to burn out. I've done exactly this multiple times. I think most people could do this. I don't know why more of them don't. If they did working conditions would be across the board better.

I don't think burnout is caused by companies most of the time. It's caused by the employee not taking care of themself. Will a manager abuse someones willingness to not leverage the power they have? Sure. Some managers are awful. They'll continue to be awful when the Union is in place. Just in a different way. You'll still be miserable under that manager. The solution is to make a plan to leave and start executing on it. The moment you make the plan you'll feel better.
It includes health insurance premiums and stuff paid by the employer. No one uses that for TC.
I don't need a camera. I need a nice device to use reddit, HN, Outlook with. It's not good in that.

Call me a bit utilitarian or risk averse, but to me it seems that the free fonts out there cover basically all of the use cases that I could have. Surely there are enough fonts like that to fit most of the designs that you could conceivably come up with?

Or do people really look at a font that might cost thousands of USD to use, like Proxima Nova (https://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/proxima-nova) and go: "Yes, this is exactly what fits my creative vision and nothing less will do!"

Not that it wouldn't be worth the price tag for some, but to me that feels like something that only large enterprises for which that's a rounding error might want to do.
The only performance impact I know of is with the seccomp filter in CPU-bound tasks: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4187

Hi there! I'm a student at UMD very interested in the startup space looking for a summer software engineering internship. I currently am a Machine Learning Engineer intern at Capital One, and spent this past summer as an SDE Intern at AWS. I have a have a history of learning and delivering results at a much quicker rate than expected of me. Because of my performance at my first internship, I was asked to stay on-board and work part time during the school semester. My interests lay mainly in distributed systems and deployment of ML models at scale, but I am open to learning and working with different areas within software engineering. Please reach out to me on LinkedIn or email if you are looking for an entry-level engineer with the ability to deliver results, learn quickly, and perform above expectations.
I keep hoping another manufacturer will step up and drive support for their devices.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Mainline hardware manufacturers have little incentive to support this.

e/OS is a well rounded, compromise alternative with much broader hardware support. I use it with an inexpensive Moto 5G Ace.

> Note that all professional sports have unions for athletes.

Terrible example though because professional sports leagues are monopolies.
Well no, but it's either pedantic or meant to mislead. If we're in agreement we need to do something about CO2, then we both know we're talking about human sources of CO2, so why be pedantic?
It's funny because when I went to check the page today it's the one that caught my eyes.
1. I got cut from my company during the holidays in 2016. I had a job less than a month later and was double paid for some days while the severance overlap with the new job.

2. This one is interesting to me, but also might be mildly insulting to a laborer fighting for it because they actually get tired at the end of a day's work. On call is stressful, but it's first world stressful. Furthermore, you can usually do something about it to make sure that the app gets more stable over time.

3. Again this would be interesting, but I feel no loss. The company gives me an opportunity to use the vacation days, and if I am cut from the company mid-year I am paid for the vacation days I didn't use for that year. Although at my current company This is all theoretical anyway because I am given unlimited vacation days. I know unlimited vacation days are bad and come with their own caveats, but hey, if you don't want unlimited vacation days to become the norm, Don't legislate around vacation days.

4. I'm actually pretty comfortable with this one for maternity, but men really don't need much paternity. Most of the five weeks paternity leave I was given I just screwed around and home. I need 3 days, tops.

5. Our work is flexible enough nature that we can just eat at 1:00 most of the time.

6. If your company is having you do meetings at 11:00 p.m. you can just switch companies.

7. The commute is fully paid for. You knew what you were signing up for when you started the job and they fully pay for it in your salary.
Right, you're agreeing with the person you're replying to. The GP did not in any way make a statement against a good standing desk.

They encouraged the OP to test it out if possible before committing to ensure they would actually use it in practice.
my guess, probably lesser.
people carry their phones as an extension of themselves, while cars takes us from point a to b.

And most modern cars have a Secure Gateway[1] that are mostly not connected to internet, that only allow limited NW access for the connected systems to rest of the vehicle (Engine, powertrain, brakes...)
so the possibility of a remote scaled attack is low IMO.

I dont want to start a war with any right-to-repair purists, but I do think in lieu of offering 7 years of parts a company that makes reasonable low-cost (or free) replacement a simple request for 7 years would also be meeting the needs of most consumers. And a lot of video game consoles have very liberal policies already toward this regard.

Some products are significantly cheaper to replace than repair, even if they cost more than $99.
I've had a moment of reckoning the other day: my Android phone is rather old by recent cool-ness standards: it's a Moto G5 plus, happily running Android 8.0. Just in the past week, two of the apps I use have dropped the support of Android 8.0. I don't know what feature they decided take up on (the gain) by dropping support, or what load shed is, but I was not pleased that this has started happening.

On the one hand, I'm rather relieved: I don't have to keep downloading the endless stream of "new" features that I don't want. More often than not, I've found the updates keep breaking something, or upset my established pattern of working. On the other hand, I'm facing the constant danger of some of the vital apps dropping support: for example, the work-related apps, without which I won't be able to log in remotely.

I suppose there's the option of rooting and installing a custom ROM. But then, there's no guarantee that it'll continue to work as before, in all its full glory. It's also the case that some apps (especially the work-related ones) refuse to work on a rooted device.

So, no matter how strongly I'm determined to stay put, I'll eventually be forced to get a new phone.

I guess what I'm saying is that a modern devices are a complex ecosystem. Just having the right tools at hand, passing the right law, or having an open-source, DIY, path ahead doesn't necessarily mean that things will be same as before. For some things, we are necessarily dependent on other people doing the right things--and some of those things, nobody can force them to do it.
First, climate change is a dire crisis. Full stop.

Second, the authors didn’t characterize this idea as a silver bullet or anything like that. Nor did they say we should start implementing it en masse immediately. Their exact words were:

> The U.S. government needs to start testing it now, before the climate system spins off into an even more disastrous state.
Thanks. That sounds like a nice webapp. In my case it's easier to copy the text from the Mac Preview. Since M1 it does OCR quite well. This way I don't have to convert the pdf to png. Still i'd love a fully automated way.
You want a sit-stand desk, not just a standing desk.
Are these available to watch online anywhere? Would love to check them out.
> Which FIDO2 service do you recommend?

Generally what comes with your phone and one or two hw tokens for backup? Looks like token2.com is a reasonable choice if you just want NFC/USBc and FIDO2 (and not storage for ssh/gpg keys). But I have little experience with hw keys.
Now they do them with grids.
I love Adobe. They just keep f*king people over and over again and people still use their products. This is like Microsoft a few decades ago. The only Adobe product that I still use is Figma. Everything else I refuse to use when being asked to.
Scary things exist, knowing them does not make them more real but allows me to react
I second this just for the adjustable height to match your body perfectly.

The stand up aspect is not very comfortable so go to a Ikea or a furniture store and try it out. I couldn't stand 3 minutes of that, let alone a few hours.
Yeah, fair enough. At some point my ex-employer wised up and implemented kill switches on purpose instead of by accident.
Of course you do, you can choose to not take a job with an attached union you don't like. As you said, there are plenty of opportunities out there!
It is a classic joke. Emacs is often a little behind competing text editors (Vim has better keybindings IMO, things like Visual studio have better IDE support, Atom text editor turns out to have better syntax highlighting, etc, etc).

So, the line of the joke goes, it must not really be a text editor because it is not very good at it and has a wild array of other capabilities. Like "M-x dunnet". Must be an OS.

Of course the reality is that Emacs just copies good ideas from other people. A pretty normal Emacs setup uses Vim keybindings, LSP and now tree-sitter to get a good experience programming.
> You would think at least some of those issues could be avoided by living somewhere “more expensive”, but it seems like affluent areas actually have more ads.

For whatever reason there are no (or very few) billboards in Northern Virginia, so that's one option. I wish there were more places like that, it's so refreshing driving through and not being bombarded with ads fighting for my attention (which is supposed to be on the road...).

But in general I think you're right it's extremely hard to get away from. I think the main reason it's hard to "buy out" of advertising it that the very fact that you can afford to "buy out" makes you that much more valuable to advertisers.

> Software rendering is a regression that didn’t need to happen

Actually, it is. The actual straw that broke the X developers was font metrics, IIRC. Essentially, if you want to support fonts for the language of the most populous country on Earth, you need to do more or less complete font rendering to answer questions like "how long is this span of text going to be" (so that you can break it). And the X developers tried to make it work with the X model, but the only way they could get it to work well was to have the X server ship the font to the X client and the X client ships rendered bits back to the X server [even over the network!].
I'm glad to see there's a transition Roadmap in place. This is more than Cinnamon DE has at the moment.

Just switch everything to BPS. Problem solved for another decade until the studies appear showing that to also be poison.

I wish I were joking, but this is exactly how a ton of products became "BPA-free". The article does mention testing for BPS and BPF, but I don't know whether they're regulated similarly to BPA in the EU.
But you're describing Emacs. Emacs figures out the language and loads the appropriate sub-modes. It even calls them modes. Modes are mixable.

We're in a transition period while everything is rewritten to use tree-sitter. In a few years all the default major modes in Emacs are probably going to be tree-sitter based - unless the maintainers believe them to be better than tree-sitter.
That is absolutely not the implication. NSO is not the Israeli government and the identity of the attackers in this case is not known.
This might feel logical but i find it counter intuitive. I've seen people suggest to new guitar player to just buy a cheap one just to see how you feel then invest in a good one.

Yet a bad guitar will turn off a lot of people who would have kept playing if they had a better quality instrument.
Beware of Existential Asymmetry
For me it's the opposite. In fast paced games I have to concentrate more on gameplay and have no attention left to adore graphics, so my perception of graphics becomes schematic: enemies look like featureless hitboxes. In slow paced games I sometimes can allocate some attention to account for graphic details.
I think the problem is that while this project has its own twist and not a 1-to-1 clone of the MDHP, ultimately it's not some new or really interesting idea but rather just an attempt to make some money for the author.

The relevant section in the FAQs is the following.

Can I use web fonts for my client websites?

The Terms of Use do not permit reselling beyond December 31, 2019. After that time, the client's website must load Adobe Fonts from their own Creative Cloud subscription to ensure that there isn't any interruption to the font licensing or web font hosting.

In the terms of services it is the following.

3.3 Use of the Licensed Content by Publishers on Whose Behalf You Create Websites.

Publishers on whose behalf you
create Websites must purchase their own subscription to the Service to continue using and displaying the Licensed Content
on their own behalf upon completion of the Website(s) . You may not host the Web Fonts or Web Projects for the Publisher
or resell the Service to them.

3.4 Obligations, Limitations, Restrictions, and Prohibited Uses of the Licensed Content.

[...]

(E) Prohibited Uses of the Licensed Content. Except as may be permitted pursuant to any open source license terms applicable to certain open source components that may be included in or distributed with the Licensed Content, you are expressly prohibited from:

(1) hosting the Licensed Content on your own server or other self-hosting option or service;

[...]

(11) hosting Web Fonts or Web Projects for your own customers or clients, or reselling the Service to them; and

The result is the same, the client requires a Creative Cloud subscription. Not sure why they would think what they are doing is allowed, this is neither hard to find nor hard to understand.
IMO it does not hurt (pun intended) to get a standing desk. I used one at work for a while. Lifting weights now and then got rid of any posture aches in my case. IME it is not needed, but it does no harm.
Good!

They're mostly a marketing ploy by DeBeers and other companies to push overpriced stuff

Get a moassanite or a synthetic diamond. Engagement rings with a stone are not even a thing outside of the US it seems
The cheaper option is a desk riser. This can work just as well with a decent model, it just has less aesthetic appeal.

But you can't form a union if they vote against it, which is why you are here arguing with people. So we here we have clear proof that even if you spend years arguing it doesn't necessarily lead to the democratic results you want. Individual bargaining however seems to work very well, lots of people get what they want that way much faster and easier than any democratic process. And that is why people vote to not have unions.

The moment developers have a cause they can agree on, they will start to vote for unions. And no it isn't too late at that point, rather it is too early to vote for a union unless you have a cause you collectively care about.
When I had a job with lots of meetings I would raise my desk up to standing height a lot, but I find it uncomfortable for focus/flow work like coding. So I would raise/lower the desk depending on the task.

I'd say if you do a fair amount of meetings give it a try.

Ikea makes a powered model that's decent and cheap. The power bricks sometimes fail (they are essentially laptop bricks) but they are warrantied for something like 10 years.
> I know, but windows 3.1 looked like windows 3.1.

There were shells even available before Windows 3 that provided a folder style desktop metaphor. HP NewWave immediately comes to mind, and it ran on very limited hardware.

> NT was solid enough as a UI (although iirc NT 3.5 was sort of "3.11 and a half")

NT predated Windows 95. If you weren't paying attention, NT 3.1 and 3.5 looked essentially identical to Windows 3.1. Just with a totally different (much better) implementation and dramatically higher system requirements. They also enabled "32-bit" code, which made it easier to access the large amounts of data needed for image and video manipulation.

The higher system requirements of NT are what motivated Microsoft to also build rudimentary 32-bit support into classic Windows. This started out as Win32s, which enabled Windows 3.1 to run 32-bit apps written to a very strict subset of the Win32 API. Win32s then evolved into the 32-bit support offered by Windows 95, but even then, Windows 95 was a 16/32-bit hybrid. This let Microsoft advertise 4MB system requirements for 95, as opposed to the 16-32 for NT.

> but by NT 4 and win2000 it had pretty much emerged into the modern UX.

NT4's big innovation was to take the new 95 UI and put it on the NT kernel. 2000 was a big step forward, but mainly stability and enterprise featurres.

> And Win2000 still ran on peanuts by modern standards.

IIRC, I ran it usefully on a 256MB P3.

> I never used NT but my dad generally thought highly of it afaik.

I used it for a while, but really only NT4 through about XP. I remember it being a dramatic improvement over 3.x/95 in terms of both features and stability.

Where the Microsoft OS's fall short IMO is that Microsoft has had the resources to pursue all sorts of various designs over the years, but have lacked the coherency of vision to make a product that really feels like it holds together as a consistent whole. The capabilities are there, and in some ways better than Unix, but it's never felt quite right, at least to me.
