HDPE is an even worse choice.

The basic brick uses ABS.

If long-term durability were a concern, ASA might be a better choice but it costs 50% more.

Changing it to be something else would just cheapen LEGO to something that wouldn't permit intergenerational inheritance.
No, the inflation is definitely caused by worker wages.

I'd love to see those talks too, because stuff like this needs to be preserved. Not to shame individuals but for the history of comedy in general.
Most if not all governments also play this card. Fictional example: "we'll raise the tax to 10%" sh-t hits the fan as expected "after careful considerations we'll "only" raise it to 8%" everyone is cheerful thinking they made decision-makers change their mind. A similar version: when they promise to do something knowing it's impossible to achieve, then sell it as "they don't let us do it but trust us we'd have done it otherwise". All in all, the shocking thing is how effective this is despite having been in practice for (probably) centuries and centuries.

Nitpick, not any company, only this company. If you have a company that writes fluffy job ads and you have a CV written like the article recomends, they are likely to pass you. That hiring manager doesn't want to know you, they want to be in awe with you. It's about matching with the company more than beeing direct, organized, smart and so on. Unfortunately.
Syntax and notation is an incredibly minor "problem". We have much more significant (and interesting) stuff to deal with.

Judging maths on its syntax is like judging a poem or work of literature on its font. It really isn't a central thing.
I disable SIP because I don't want to use an OS where I cannot debug programs which did not consent to be debugged. macOS makes it impossible to inspect failure states I encounter in normal usage (like I can on Linux with debuginfod enabled, or Windows with .pdb files) without first rebuilding the program in debug mode.
You’re talking about mobile games. I have to kids, 4 and 6, and the only games we’ve introduced them to are 1) board games and 2) Nintendo Switch games. This largely avoids the problem (for now!)
I would add that this is the use case of a server running some services. But during development you may want to restart and/or rebuild a container multiple times, maybe this is still better done with docker-compose.
Unfortunately Motorola phones are not great when it comes to OS updates. Two major OS updates and then security patches for some time after that. Which sounds okay on paper, but man are they slow with them. I finally got Android 13 on my Edge 20 just last week! Their "bimonthly" security updates occasionally come a month late too. Maybe the experience would be different with a flagship rather than a midrange device, but I'm not willing to risk my money on such a gamble - my next phone won't be a Motorola. A shame too, their latest foldable looks quite nice.

I've been entertaining a theory that the update slowness and little bloat are somehow related - with how slow they're with updates, they probably don't have the time to code up any more bloat either.

Ah, yes, because trains clearly could not do this and never did in the past. There is no alternative.
According to this article Bill Gates seems to reduce solutions to the climate crisis to actions that reduce the CO₂ contents of the atmosphere in the short-term fast enough. Let's say one, two, or three decades from now. Under that assumption planting trees may be complete nonsense.

But planting trees has other effects than capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere. It can be an effective measure to counter secondary effects of the growing CO₂ contents of the atmosphere. Forests do protect against soil erosion, i.e. against growing deserts. Forests provide shadow to the soil, i.e. they help keeping water in the ground. Dense forests create their own micro-climate. Thereby they help mitigate the effects of climate change. Projects that plant new forests in Africa can provide hope that not all is lost, compared to just let the deserts grow.

So, claiming that planting tree is complete nonsense to combat climate change is complete nonsense to me. But on its own it isn't a panacae either.

I don't see why you need virtual accounts for this. You can make do with sub-accounts.

You can use accounts names `Liabilities:Credit-Card:Budget`, `Liabilities:Credit-Card:Bank-Name:Envelope`, `Assets:Checking:Budget`, and `Assets:Checking:Bank-Name:Budget`. You can set up your initial budgets by transferring from `...:Budget` to `...:Bank-Name:Envelope`, and then whenever you engage in transactions, shift money in the reverse direction to `...:Budget:Used`.

That way, whenever you query `Budget:Used$`, you'll see how much of your budget you've used, and whenever you query `Envelope$` or `Budget`, you'll see how much you have remaining in your budget (i.e., Budget - Budget:Used), and when you query `Budget$`, you'll see what your total budget is.

For me, personally, I’ve never been particularly interested in self-metering.

It does have its place, though. Each morning, I do a 5K walk, and am constantly glancing at my Apple Watch, to ensure I maintain a pace of <10 min/K. If I find myself slowing, I put on a bit of mainsail, but I don’t insist on beating my personal best.

As for my software development, I just enjoy the work, and have dealt with CRS[0], since I was about 17. It’s always been a basic challenge, and isn’t something I can control.

It’s made me very good at finding information quickly and relevantly. I’m really good at googling answers; even embarrassingly basic ones.

My work speaks for itself. I definitely perform at a pretty high level. There are many folks that are better than me, but many, many more that can’t do as well.

Recycled plastic is less strong than new “virgin” plastic. That’s why manufacturers typically only use 10%-30%, much more than that and it’s hard to keep good tolerances on dimensions and strength metrics.
Also the vast majority of recycled plastic isn’t from recycling consumer plastic waste, but from recycling the off cuts of plastic manufacturing. Almost all the consumer plastic waste is just put into landfill. It’s almost never economical to sort and recycle that stuff.
Does anyone use a paper day planner ?

I gave mine up and tried to go digital, but I just haven't found anything I like. Google Cal has been ok, but I hate the way I had to maintain a personal and private version of my planner. I was worried if I got laid off I'd lose access to my stuff. This is basically a concern with any planning software for me. The app turns to shit or the company goes bust and that's it. I have to invent some new way of managing my time.

Even with my iPad Pro + Pencil, I'm not satisfied yet. I still find just writing a comma cumbersome on the iPad pro.

I'm going to buy a paper day planner again because I've never been so unorganized since I quit the paper planner. I feel kind of guilty because I'm not taking advantage of all the amazing modern cloud, AI crazy amazing tech to plan my life...
It sounds like the doctor trusted you but I don't think you sound happy about it.

There are costs involved in appointments and filling prescriptions and you being trusted with an excess gives the system some flexibility that might avoid an extra appointment or visit to pharmacy.

Did it turn out ok?
It'll take a lot more than that to get me to buy a Pixel phone (or any other Android, really).

1. Google needs to build up the reputation that they support phones for 7 years, currently there is no device from them that was ever supported that long.

2. Pixels are not officially sold in my country, even though I am from the European Union. I need to buy from a 3rd party with at least 50% markup and dubious support.

3. Even if I were to buy a Pixel phone, 50% of the differentiating features are not available in my country (or barely any country outside of the US) - like call screening, hold for me, book me a reservation (I forgot the name of this feature).

> Would I be distributing parts of macOS in my containers?

Unless you're producing fully static binaries (or static enough that they don't bind to non-redistributable things) it'd be a yes (it would not be much of a container if it needed non-packaged things)

The screenshot points out a ghcr.io URL that lands on these packages: https://github.com/orgs/macOScontainers/packages?repo_name=m...

While not a continental hub like the Netherlands, Portugal has excellent consumer Internet access: 700 Mbit 5G, 300 Mbit wifi in basically every cafe, apartment, and hotel.

You step off the plane and can expect an absolutely rock solid Internet connection. Excellent news since you will probably need it to file some complaint with TAP Portugal which is in turn terrible.

I can use it to get stuff I need to do work and I don't remember the last time I couldn't. Upgrades sometimes leave me broken but it's usually ironed out fast because everyone is using it. If my dependencies are that locked down I'm using docker and special environments anyway. Linux can get tedious with upgrades breaking or dependency mismatches. Homebrew is probably the largest homogenous community - if you're doing something relatively popular there will be a lot of noise when stuff breaks. Linux is spread out across various distros/repos/package managers, overlap of users with your problem is a lot smaller.

Beats all the package management experiences I've had on Windows, admittedly I have not tried to use Windows for work for >1 year.

They invented the motto for BS social apps and pivoting until they're bought or IPOed.

Not the same as hardware at all.
There is definitely a balance. When reviewing applications if I see that you used a bunch of technologies that I'm not familiar with, in my mind that counts for nothing. On the other hand, being too sparse also gives me few signals on whether you're a good candidate. IMO as a rule of thumb, adding details related to the job description is good. Otherwise, keep it broad enough that anyone in your field will know what you're talking about.

Yes! And it has a hard dependency on iptables, which I have removed from all my servers long ago in favor of nftables. Grrrrrr.
Definitions don't matter. The device I carry in my pocket is "defined" as a "smartphone" despite being a computer that just happens to have an app that simulates an archaic device called a "telephone" installed on it.

It also provides convenient access for law enforcement to monitor all of my social media accounts and communications and metadata and scan my storage for contraband. Preferably with a warrant but of course probably with any number of backdoors installed by design. We all know at this point that warrants don't matter either.

Radio broadcast can certainly be used for surveillance, in that at the very least the location of the broadcast signal can be triangulated and monitored. Which is how law enforcement can also use the "smartphone" in my pocket to track my location in realtime.

Even when it's turned off. Because the definition of the "off" button doesn't matter, either. It isn't an "off button" it's a button that runs an app that simulates "turning the phone off," but might just put it into a low power state or who knows?

Your computer spies on you. The web spies on you. Your appliances spy on you. Your car spies on you. Your lightbulbs spy on you. The locks on your front door spy on you. Unless you're primitive enough not to use modern "smart" technology (which isn't defined as surveillance technology but which always seems to be in the news because it gets used or abused as exactly that.) Everything, everywhere, spies on you all the time. And if it doesn't, wait a few years, someone will find a way to make sure that it does. But none of it will be surveillance "by definition." Convenience, customer obsession, safety, the definitions will be plentiful but none of them will matter.
No, my GitHub is entirely private save for a couple of 6-8 year old archived school group projects, and the very occasional pull request.

I can understand why it may be useful if you are making a big switch in terms of the type of programming you do and can see myself putting together a "portfolio" in that case. Otherwise its probably worthless.

This isn't to say I don't have side projects or experiments I do for fun. They just don't go on GitHub (and why should they? It's not particularly more convenient than any other way to host your code. Mostly I use cgit these days since it's very platform portable and lightweight and I can host it internally with just a c compiler), and if they do, there's very little benefit to them being public unless you are doing what I mentioned above about needing to "prove yourself".

I'm not a web developer though, maybe it's more valuable the closer you get to frontend stuff? Just a thought, I don't actually know enough about that to say.
>https://noyaml.com/

I'm not sure this is the criticism you think it is. Wow, so you basically have to add quotes to get strings in some ambiguous situations?

Yeah sure you could probably improve YAML by getting rid of these weird pitfalls, but that is a minor improvement. The alternative isn't something like TOML, because YAML is optimized for hierarchical configuration. It's every vendor implementing a different syntax such as Hashicorp with their HCL [0].

This is supposed to be possible on macOS, but it's basically completely broken (just doesn't work) due to a bug. Apple is aware of it but unfortunately hasn't said much more.

Obviously that limits the options, but I'll still be taking one last shot at using creative workarounds to tackle the memory problem in OrbStack (another containers-on-macOS product).
F35A (the one from the article, and the one almost everybody is buing) isn't VTOL. F35B will likely melt the asphalt if it tried to take-off vertically from a regular highway.
Blimey. We're just learning about the person that invented this type of labelling, in the US.

And don't blame lobbyists; they should be lobbying, just as a public defender should be defending their client. The people deciding the wrong thing after all lobbying has happened are to blame, especially given they're funded by mandatory taxes.
Not so inflammatory at the time. Those were wild days. Someone else posted his CIO article about "just enough compliance", but IIRC there were talk summaries and interviews around, too.

And for the comedy factor: those hacks were dictionary password attacks against leaked usernames, and a plain text file left laying on an open network share with key credentials. Not exactly oceans' eleven.

The Indian medical system is extremely bad for the doctors and nurses practicing within, which is why India sees a massive brain drain of medical professionals.

Government funded hospitals are a hit or miss. I get better healthcare service in the rural hospital of my mom's hometown, than in the city where they're living. Of course, at least for the large part, the system does not rely much on insurance backends, but for expensive procedures, you better hope you have insurance.

That being said, unlike the US, every Indian government has still prioritized healthcare regulation on the cost side.

Yeah, I clearly indicated I hate the game.
Six months ago (March 3rd, 2023) I approached a similar claim with actual data. Below is that post, and after the break is a brief update with pricing as of today. While there are absolutely sets today that exceed the highest 90s prices of sets, they are also monster sets today, with much higher part counts.

Bottom line, you can get legos cheaper today than 30 years ago, and that's BEFORE inflation.

### Time travel to March 3rd, 2023 ###

They really are not and have not gone up in price, but rather down when adjusted for inflation. There are a lot of larger sets available though, which I think drives this perception that "Lego is expensive", when in reality they're cheaper than they used to be.

Just as an example, lets look at 90s some sets https://clickamericana.com/wp-content/uploads/Vintage-90s-To...
3 sets to look at here from toys-r-us in the 90s

$19.99 for 203 piece set, just shy of 10 cents per piece.

$12.99 for a 90 piece set, over 14 cents per piece.

$7.99 for a 56 piece set, also over 14 cents per piece.

Keep in mind all the above are not licensed sets, which are common today. Licensing does drive prices up. But I'll still include some in the mix.

Now today, at Target lets try to find similar cost sets and see how they stand up.

For $19.99 we can get some clone troopers! https://www.target.com/p/lego-star-wars-501st-clone-troopers...

Or a minecraft house https://www.target.com/p/lego-minecraft-the-mushroom-house-2...

The first being 119 pieces and the second 272 pieces Nearly 17 cents per piece, or a bit over 7 cents per piece. So the star wars set is more expensive than our 1990s comparison, but minecraft is actually cheaper! Not only that, if we factor in inflation by dividing by 2.29, You'll find both sets are substantially cheaper than their comparable 1990s set.

This stands true for other sets. At the $12 mark https://www.target.com/p/lego-friends-heartlake-city-pizzeri... is about 8 cents per piece, and https://www.target.com/p/lego-creator-deep-sea-creatures-bui... is under 6 cents a piece!

It does become harder to find sets at around that $8 mark, as many of them are just a mini-fig or small accessory set, but the point is not only have legos not gotten more expensive (on a per piece basis), you can still purchase sets that are larger than those we had in the 90s, for the same cost... and when accounting for inflation find they cost about half what they did at the time.

### Back to today. ###

So here we are 6 months later. Let's look at some data.

That clone trooper set? It's now cheaper than 6 months ago, at $15.99.

The minecraft house? $22.49. (8 cents a piece, still below 1990s prices, and that's before inflation!).

Our shark set is $12.99 and remains under 6 cents a piece.
Anecdotally, this doesn't match my current experience working on this stuff at Google. I see a lot of effort put into backwards compatibility.

Now I'm not talking about policies, and this may or may not be true for everyone involved, but the generalisation that this isn't being worked on or incentivised does not appear true to me.
I think we're talking about very different things here then. I don't think I've ever interacted with someone who considers anything less than Tolstoy to be low quality.
For most software companies no. For top software companies... I might do it. The problem is with NoName companies that think they are Google or in this case Canonical.
