> OnlyOffice seems to be the only FOSS office suite that handles Microsoft Office documents correctly.

I remember also looking at WPS Office for this and it seemed mostly okay to me: https://www.wps.com/office/ (though no source code available, at least it doesn't seem so)

Then again, LibreOffice feels like the most trustworthy option out there for me (and is the default in many Linux distros), so I ended up just using that, any drawbacks and all. Nowadays I use LibreOffice on all my computers and have basically gotten rid of MS Office altogether. If I ever need to send someone something that looks consistent across all devices, there's PDF/A.

I've actually used PDFs for presentations as well with no issues, especially after the inconsistencies of LibreOffice Impress and PowerPoint made one of my past presentations look like an utter mess on someone else's computer (fonts/locations were all wrong).
Wow this is so retrograde that I feel I cant answer. To produce insecurity and danger to other human beings without understanding the necessity of moving fast in a crowded place like a city is the most inhuman solution I've heard in a long time.
Why not better to create specific and separated fast lanes for those who have to move from one side of the city to the other to have normal lifes like taking kids to the school or attending a meeting with a client?
30+ years ago I was programming for companies doing business software - ERP etc, and there were very few 'hackers' in the ranks. These guys and gals must have enjoyed programming at some point but I guess the software was so boring it just leached the joy out of it.

Certainly by the mid-late 80s there were far more day job programmers around than hackers.

In one company I managed to find a few fellow hackers, but the next one I worked at - nothing. It was awful.

Luckily after that I managed to get more interesting work for a while, but then I spent too long in the wrong part of Oracle and again, I just couldn't find fun in the coding we were doing and no-one else could either.

I think true hackers or enthusiasts have always been in the minority, at least since the late 70s I'd guess.
But everything is grey. If you can't compare goodness then you can't make any choice, because you can't find greater good.
Now wondering if this will actually substantially benefit motorists: insurance premiums are proportional to the cost of accidents.
This explanation can be used for any library though, consider that you know how the internals work, then it's rather obvious. If you don't know Nue and stumble on this it's just another flavor of unknown black box. Sure, the syntax might be nice for you, just like Awk and Vim are nice for some people, but it doesn't mean other people have a chance of understanding what's going on without looking up the documentation.

Speaking of which, how do you interface with global variables in that case? Say I want to instantiate a global variable when the component is created, how do I do that?
True. When the array changed, the view is indeed re-rendered. Nue is probably not a good pick ATM for UI's with hundreds of rows and when list re-rendering performance is critical. I'll add the key- support if this becomes a frequent issue.

I'll be surprised if tc39 allows it.
You can drive as fast as you want if you drive on a private road in the middle of nowhere with nobody else around. If you don't want to care about other people, cities are not the right places to go.

This probably has nothing to do with vulnerabilities in the source code, it has to do with the observations that Mounir Idrassi took over truecrypt very fast when it was shut down, yet was not known in cryptography circles prior to this at all, and his company idrix.fr looks a lot like a typical DGSE shell company. It is unclear what kind of contracts it had (if any) before it dedicated seemingly most of its time to Veracrypt.

Of course, it would be the binaries that are problem, if there is one. If you vet the source code and compile it yourself, there shouldn't be any issue. Note that the French government has long history of being anti-cryptography for end-consumers.

I personally wouldn't even touch Veracrypt with a long pole. But that's just my personal opinion.
You're not describing a sybil attack. You're talking about censorship.

If you want to address that, your best strategy is to incentivize people to run access points that do not censor. This requires payouts to routing nodes in proportion to the value of the transactions they process, which requires the ability to make routing payouts, which requires a sybil-proof routing mechanism.

Wait, reducing the numbers of cars in the city makes it _more_ soulless? How on earth does that work?

Like, was an important part of your urban experience traffic noise, or the sound of ambulance sirens going to pick up a dead pedestrian? I'm genuinely a bit baffled by where you're coming from here.

Only if you're regularly scaling down to zero (AKA too few paying customers to stay in business).

There's a time and place for both approaches. If you're serving anywhere near the number of users needed to show a profit, spot instances are extremely expensive.

"City" is a broad term, encompassing e.g. NYC, but also Amsterdam, with a population of a mere 900k. Most parts of Amsterdam are really pretty quiet when there are no/few/slow-driving cars.

I thought the only major issues with Btrfs were with RAID usage. I mean, some distros default to it out of the box, right?
I'd rather they just finished the job and installed higher speed people mover belts everywhere like in Caves of Steel (Asimov).

We could have public transit <> inter area rail / road / airport hubs that allow for higher speed transit between urban centers and the storage of cars / etc outside of the residential areas.
That would be good too. Let's do both!
The reason stack overflow is such a useful resource is that people actually ask questions on it and receive high quality answers. I wonder, how long until the website becomes obsolete because people are asking LLMs instead, and how long after that do LLMs themselves consequently become less useful?
2 km/h when you're reducing from 50 to 30 is a negligible difference, and round numbers are easier to keep to on analog/digital speed gauges, and easier to set manually on cruise control systems
Entirely tangential, but I recently participated in a CTF that included a steganography challenge with a True/VeraCrypt volume embedded inside a MP4 file. The MP4 file could be mounted just as a normal VeraCrypt volume could be.

And of course regenerative braking greatly enhances electric car efficiency in city driving. The flip side is that the battery gauge usually drops alarmingly fast on the highway if you're mostly used to city driving.

Japanese people are proud of their country. In some nations, like France or Bulgaria it’s taboo. But in the US or Japan it’s fine to be proud of where a product is coming from.
In the EU we had the option to opt out of marketing messaging when signing up for services for a long time. Some services (mainly telco's) punish you with an extra fee for doing that, but it's still worth it.

I just realized that Uber and Tinder spam me with such marketing messages and I don't remember ever giving them consent for that.
In many (also newer) urban areas in the Netherlands, narrow streets and cobbles are used intentionally to encourage lower speeds. The "30" sign is more of a last resort in that sense.

Security by obscurity is a working solution if implemented with other measures. It increases the cost of attack, which in the presence of unknown vulnerabilities gives you precious time to respond.

> Why not better to create specific and separated fast lanes

Everywhere that has tried this has regretted it, because the volume of traffic induced is so high that the average journey speed ends up below 30km/h anyway. What a city needs to get millions of people across it is high volume public transport.

A commandment that one shall not view one's work e-mail, nor one's Teams, nor one's Slack or anything else work-related for one day in each seven would do a remarkable amount for mental health in the modern world. It would also send a signal to employers that there's a part of their employees' souls they do not own.

That's probably going to end up banned as well, as it was in New York, in order to let people live in the city.

For example, Apple, one main reason they chose to produce a lot of the phone in China was because of infrastructure and skills that people have, and not costs anymore.

China (in particular when you see markets like Yiwu!) has an impressive ability to produce all type of quality and grade of products.

While playing around with the N-word is certainly distasteful, the underlying question is pretty crucial.

Once upon a time, when Western economies were relatively stronger (compared to the rest of the world) and Western nations much younger, idealistic people constructed asylum systems that were rather generous to asylants and awarded them the same welfare payments as to the locals.

Year by year, the "global parameters" have shifted bit by bit, and these idealistic systems are now unsustainable. Germany cannot afford to be Sozialamt for millions of young men that manage to get there. It has too many unmet obligations towards its citizens, and most people tend to agree that citizens should come first.

Refusal to even look at this situation and reflexive blaming of all problems on "far right disinformation etc" will only make the necessary correction in the future much more painful and complicated.

Some countries, like Denmark, already understood the situation and adjusted their systems so that they don't attract people looking for better living standards under the guise of asylum.
A normal user interface would guide you away from using CSV in the first place.

In almost all situations where one could use CSV, a better, more structured, more standards-compliant, more optimized file format (like a SQLite database) would be a better choice.
> I don't know why people would communicate in public spaces if they don't want to interact with the public. Isn't that the entire point?

These 'social networks' the link speaks to may rely on the public to function, but that is just an implementation detail, not the point. The point is to submit your not-fully-formed thoughts into a piece of software and have it come back with details you have overlooked so that you can come to better understand the topic.

However, the software it speaks to becomes buggy at scale, going off on random tangents that have nothing to do with anything, failing to stay true to speaking to details you have overlooked. It proposes that there is no way to scale that software to avoid such tangents because the implementation is ultimately, and fundamentally, flawed.
Always wondered what the point of dash-separating uuid if the separated parts are unreadable anyway just like in this version, just makes it harder to select as a single blob of text
>It makes more sense if you view america as a police officer.

That's an absolutely insane comparison.

Police are funded from your taxes to protect you. Countries haven't paid taxes tot he US to come invade/drone strike them.

In your country, do police officers from other countries routinely break into your house to tear it up, steal your shit and beat you up for doing nothing? Sounds more like criminals than police.
That wouldn't stop iOS notifications; those are pushed from Uber's servers to the phone, not to the app.
Recruiter Pros: they get you through the "referrals"/"network" barrier and hype you up. Sometimes that means 1-3 less interviews. They'll also protect you against shitty companies; most good candidates will job switch every 2 years on avg so there's $$$ in maintaining good relationships on both ends.

Cons: All things equal, companies will favor the candidate who isn't tied to the recruiter.

I'll take one if I don't know the company, but if I know someone working there (and by now, I've met most people), I'd rather opt for someone on the inside. Most of the bigger companies also offer referral bonuses and highly advantage those with an internal recommendation.

The headlines on this are misleading, as the perfume ban is incidental. The enforcement goal is actually zero-tolerance for alcohol consumption, where perfume could give a false positive.

It's sort of strange to me how many Americans seem to share the same sentiment when my experience has often been the total opposite.

China has some of the best factories, supply chains, and collaboration in the world. And while yes, of course, loads of intentionally cheap, low-quality goods are churned out regularly, many Chinese companies also make really solid products, often even the best products until you reach a certain ultra-luxury price bracket that they simply aren't trying to compete in.

For example, sure, an LG/Samsung/Sony OLED will be way nicer in terms of picture quality than any Hisense on the market. But the cheapest OLED on BestBuy right now is a last-gen, clearance 46" LG that costs almost ~$700; if you want a 50"+ model, be prepared to spend $1,000 minimum. On the other hand, the 75" U6H I got for $600 was better than any comparable non-OLED offering by non-Chinese companies until you got into the $1,000-1,200+ price range.

Midea is another good example; sure, Bosch, Miele, and Zojirushi often have much nicer luxury products, but if you're a middle/working-class person who doesn't want to or can't spend $300+ on a rice cooker, it'll be hard to beat--unless you get lucky like me and find the one weird guy in your town who happened to be moving cities and selling off all his appliances, including some perfect-condition JDM Zojirushi with an inverter for $100 (and also happen to have a Japanese friend you can annoy to help you figure out what all the Kanji menus do).

Same can be said for handset manufacturers like Xiaomi, etc. And a lot of audio gear as well; $100-200 Russian Oktava microphones easily punch several hundred to several thousand dollars above their class, Chinese brands dominate the mid-range IEM market, and Chinese headphone brands like HiFiMan are difficult to beat in any price bracket -- first paycheck I got, I spent $1,600 on Sennheiser HD 800 S because I wanted the HD 800 as a kid, but realistically, $300 HiFiMan Sundaras will get you almost there for over a thousand less.

Personally, every "made in America" thing I've bought that wasn't manufactured before like 1990 either fell apart and/or was ridiculously expensive compared to things made elsewhere. My association of made in America is either:

A. Truly craftsman, low-volume, specialized products that have an inherently high price tag

B. More commonly, low-quality, over-priced junk that survives only because of nationalism or protectionism alone
> and in many case you also somewhat want something which is less precise (and verbose) then UML theoretically is

This tends to be "the" big problem with UML (and similar): Very few people care about, or have a reason to, stick 100% to UML. They want to "speak diagrams", and just like written or spoken language, our syntax and semantics is context dependent and dependent on the dialect and speech patterns and understanding of those we speak to.

So the "UML" people learn is often a dialect of sorts closer or further from the formal grammar, and a lot of tools fail to take that into account and try to force you into conformity. We accept that for programming languages, yet we still use pseudo-code in all kinds of contexts, but diagrams are one step up - one of the things we "escape to" when writing formal code is too complex or we want to explain things to people who don't know or care about the details.

There's a significant strain there between those conflicting goals of diagrams as communication, and the evolution of CASE tools that wants diagrams to be formal, that is much closer to how we deal with natural languages (people arguing over formal use vs. slang) than with programming languages, and it's fascinating.
These tools show up from time to time here, and I can appreciate the technical side of things and effort put into building the tool. However, I cannot imagine using something like this in practice - either at work or for my own uses. It's so much easier just to select, drag and drop graphical elements instead of spending time learning a specific markup language and typing everything out, hoping that the elements will appear approximately where you wish they would. Maybe it's not too bad for very simple diagrams but unmanageable for anything complex. All in all, I think it does not solve any problems and merely adds an additional layer of complexity.
An explicit shard id can ensure all related data across all tables can be on the same shard. Helpful for SQL JOIN operations.

One issue with social media not scaling is that ~5% of the population is insane.

In day to day real life, you don't notice 95% of the time, and when you do, you avoid that person in your life going forward.

Online, the 5% insane are over-represented, and a constant presence in any social media interaction beyond a few eyeballs.
Almost all the Russians I know personally support the war. They aren’t some silly ‘90 years olds with Alzheimer’s’ crowd, most of them are software engineers. Some of them know I live in Ukraine, yet they tell me they will ‘liberate me soon.’ From my own free will, I suppose.
Tangential question: how come "modern" languages (like Go, first release 2009) seem to ignore basic PL Theory, that you learn in the first chapters of any suitable book (see Pierce, "Types and Programming Languges", 2002) ?

Maybe you should ask some older eastern Europeans what they think about socialism, before haughtily speaking for everyone who lives in Europe. Socialism and its national variant wrecked Europe in the 20th century. People celebrated when it ended. To call it a rallying cry given that history is quite gross.
Well I got my first mobile phone for emergency purposes, but not to call emergency services. I did it to receive nagios alerts at the time.

Now I only have a smartphone because it is more convenient than a landline one, that it serves multiple purposes (navigation system, music player, compact camera, voice recorder, web browser, wallet...) and because banks in europe are making it a requirement if you don't want to go in line to their office or an ATM for basic things.

It is not like it would serve much for emergency purposes because I rarely have any cell coverage when I would need it the most[1]
