X11 also just "fucking works", and this is article is about a proposal to remove it from GNOME.

GNOME is the DE equivalent of North Korea. It's like hearing about North Korea contemplating removing the right to wear clothes and going, "I left Earth a decade ago, and this is a good reminder of why I haven't come back." :p

X11 will still be supported by sane (desktop) DEs for as long as Linux will still be in use, is my guess. (Just like window minimization and non-rounded corners and system trays and disabling composition and...)

What’s an example? I thought the family safety net was a bigger factor in children from wealthy families starting riskier ventures earlier in life and perhaps serially. I’ve never heard of a company starting like you describe so I assume it isn’t that common, but maybe people just don’t talk about it much? Or maybe you are just exaggerating the loan magnitude by quite a lot?

Mostly yes, but what you can put on the land will vary by state/county. It's easy enough to call up a county office ahead of time and tell them what you plan to do. They are usually happy and accommodating to take in new property taxes. Taxes are not too bad if not building a permanent structure. Some counties have rules about things like mobile homes, water tanks, septic requirements and some of them have ways to get around the rules. Some places have next to no rules and are happy to get more people spending money at the local businesses. There isn't really a generic answer to your question. That's how much it varies by location.

So, we're well into geo-engineering territory now, with all the uncertainties that brings. Preventative measures to avoid catastrophe have (predictably) failed, so we're now having to spend our energy to mitigate the symptoms of climate change. Has anyone run the numbers on the efficacy of this approach? As in, how many MJ of energy must be spent to avoid a MJ of heat reaching the coral? Is it even possible to offset the heat transfer of an ocean current by cooling water in its path? What are the long-term consequences of salting the air? It's all fine that the water surrounding the reef is relatively still, but how do you keep the air from moving?

The team is investigating powering their operations without burning fossil fuels.

My suggestion: look into nuclear-powered vessels. Good mobility, no dependence on external energy sources (using solar panels if your goal is to increase cloud cover may not be very useful). As a bonus, using nuclear ships to protect the coral reef is sure to send Greenpeace into a fit.
I love this project!
An elegant world-building technique that King uses is to invent a brand and use it across novels; but an existing brand will always communicate much more effectively, as you already know the brand and its positioning! It’s a lazy way of implementing “show, don’t tell”. Instead of “she was expensively dressed”, “she wore Prada”, etc.

Also comes to mind a meta-use of this in American Psycho (not from King!), were the psychopathic narrator only uses external appearance and brands to describe people.
No. Please read the ePrivacy directive (the so-called “cookie law”), especially article 5(3):

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...

>3. Member States shall ensure that the storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his or her consent, having been provided with clear and comprehensive information, in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, inter alia, about the purposes of the processing. This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide the service.

The directive:

(1) does not target cookies, but methods to store information, or gain access to information stored;

(2) allows strictly necessary purposes without consent or popups;

(3) requires consent for other purposes.

The directive talks about cookies in recital 25, but only as an example.

The GDPR replaces the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), and along that, references made to it in ePrivacy. But it does not bring anything new about cookies.

Though, I agree with you: the GDPR is well made–apart from the litigation part, but that's going to change with the GDPR Procedural Regulation. ePrivacy is good too, but 5(3) aged poorly, unfortunately.

No it actually doesn't, I've heard tons of complaints about X clients not scaling correctly. Sure it might work for the subset of clients that are reading the DPI value the way you intended, but in doing so you've silently broke a lot of other clients.
Unfortunate direction. Header files are great and I wish modern languages would adopt them.
Why is the other reply to this comment dead?
Prices are done without taxes in the US and Canada due to the anti-tax lobby. The theory goes if people have to see the figure they are taxed each transaction they will more loudly complain about the rates and more strongly resist raising the rate. In practice all it does it make it annoying to figure out what something costs.

Background job queues and priorities may be the wrong path
That is my point, unless the content is identical, any tiny change and I don't see how your going to know it is the same page as another when you have billions/trillions of pages to compare against.

I also don't think this makes sense on a fundamental level, if I write some excellent content it shouldn't be harder to find because I wrote it recently. We would be making it harder for new entrants and encouraging people to rush out low quality content/ even report on things before they happen and delete the incorrect guesses later (not that the current system isn't full of perverse incentives.)
I think we’re meant to assume that the people can only leave rooms on the quarter hour and can only move to an adjacent room (arriving 15 minutes later) if they do move. But those are very odd assumptions indeed, particularly since they aren’t made explicit anywhere.
I think there needs to be stronger social norms around this. Sometimes I get sucked in to nonsense topics too, although recently I've gotten a lot better at noticing and stopping myself from going down the rabbit hole.

It would help a lot if you had support networks to nudge you in the right direction. For me it's often as simple as asking "why do you even care about this?" or "why is this so important to you?". And that realization and consideration can often snap people out.

As someone who participates a lot in online discussions, sometimes people get into really unproductive discourse which keeps going around in circles, so I think it's useful to have norms around refocusing the conversation and reminding people of their core values.

It's also useful to give yourself a limit to how deeply you're willing to engage on certain topics with Internet strangers, especially if you don't see the conversation going anywhere productive or meaningful after a while. The ability to walk away is a superpower. When you achieve enlightenment you gain the ability to let people be wrong on the internet without it bothering you.
The progress is frustratingly slow. My understanding is GCC and Clang still haven't finished implementing them fully. Last I read they are still making significant changes, for example moving to the strong ownership model for symbols. Once they're done, hopefully the build system and IDE support will follow quickly.

The wars of the 20th century were pretty extreme outliers in terms of how many people in the societies were significantly affected by the wars. I believe that for most of human history post tribal era, most of the population wouldn’t have been nearly as affected by wars. You might have to pay taxes to someone else after it’s over.
Notably, getting out of the bipartisan stalemate is step one. Coming from a country where 3-4 parties make it to the parliament, you probably wouldn't believe how much of the dysfunction originates in a two-party politics.

I haven't experienced the examples provided in the articles except at restaurants (kitchen fees) where I won't return ever again. I reduced the 20% tip to 15% because of that. Sorry.

I don't see how the grandparent comment implied a lack of trust in other experts, nor did they imply themselves to be experts.

> Catastrophic collapse is not really something generally assumed on the 2-3 degree warming path.

Actually, the IPCC, which tends to be rather optimistic on how bad things could be (or already are), predicts pretty significant socioeconomic problems arising from 2-3 degrees warming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Socioeconomic_Pathways

It doesn't take much imagination to come up with ways that "Social cohesion degrades and conflict and unrest become increasingly common" leads to "nation states with nukes and experiencing extreme scarcity and high social unrest declare war on each other"...
You have a solid point, grounded in realism, and one very reminiscent of the U.S. tax system, embracing many hundreds of forms and requiring countless hours for filers to spend poring over obscure rules ("so I can rent out my house two weeks a year tax free?"), vs. the Hong Kong one-page and done tax reporting system. "It's just the way we do things in America."

A parallel policy, for reference, would be the decision by China in the 1950s to adopt a simplified system of Chinese characters (the so-called 简体字), breaking with millennia of tradition. Now, most of the world learns (to my private despair) the simplified system when studying Chinese. Billions of hours cumulatively saved in learning and writing the complexities of the older 繁體字. Foolish China.

And, I presume that being a traditionalist you eschew the crippling changes to American spelling of the past and use only "colour", "centre", and "theatre"? The horror of it all.

And, one must also note, it's "havoc", not "havok", which is the rational, and hence forbidden, spelling

As a product manager, getting customer feedback is crucial. But you also can't let customers fully dictate your product roadmap. Finding the right balance is key.

In this guide, we'll cover:

Why listening to customers is important

The different types of customer needs

Common traps when listening to customers

When to listen vs when not to listen

Why Listening to Customers Matters

Listening to customers provides many benefits:

Get feature ideas . Customers can suggest new features or improvements to existing ones. This gives product managers insight into what users find frustrating or lacking.

Understand pain points . Customer feedback reveals struggles and pain points when using your product. This shows opportunities to improve the user experience.

Gain market insights . Feedback provides insights into customer demographics, needs, behaviors, and preferences. This intelligence fuels product and marketing decisions.

Clearly, listening to customers provides value. You gain critical insights you'd miss otherwise. But you can't listen blindly.

Understanding the Different Types of Customer Needs
As a product manager, fully grasping your customers' needs is essential for building products that delight you. However, customer needs are complex and multifaceted. They cannot be boiled down to a simple request list.

To get a comprehensive understanding, it's important to segment customer needs into different categories based on how overtly they are expressed. This allows you to dig deeper into the customer psyche to uncover insights across the spectrum of conscious to unconscious desires.

Let's explore four key categories of customer needs: expressed , unexpressed , latent , and future needs . Each offers valuable signals to guide your product strategy if you know where to look.

Expressed Needs : The Tip of the Iceberg
Expressed needs represent the requests and feedback customers directly communicate about your product. This includes:

Feature requests and bug reports

Responses to surveys and interviews

Ratings, reviews, and social media posts

Support tickets and live chat queries

In short, expressed needs encompass any need a customer voluntarily tells you about.

I don't disagree with what you said, but if your reach is zero, you'll still get zero no matter how much of a priority factor you multiply it by. i.e Musk has a loophole he can drive a truck through.
For some reason I’m fascinated by the opening lines of Dante’s inferno. I’m reading the Longfellow translation where there is Italian and English side on opposing pages. Unlike the English version, the Italian version actually rhymes, and sounds beautiful. “Nel mezzo del cammin…” keeps ringing in my ears. Then it occurred to be that this poem could be a gateway to learn italian by going back and forth between the two versions.

Would be great to see this poem included in your project
Well, in the sense that it could be built by a much more available manufacturing skill and more available materials. I know that's not about ease for the workers but it made production much easier overall.
CMO terminated the same day, so I'm assuming their marketing department largely was gutted as well while they figure out how to rebuild their image.

It looks like they're taking the route of just focusing on enterprise customers, which seems risky given the competition in that space is already fairly entrenched and dominant.

Personally, I don't see them lasting another 5 years. At least, not thriving.
When authors go out of their way to avoid using a brand name, it can be equally distracting though. I'd prefer that a character simply visit YouTube rather than visiting 'an online video site' or some fictional site with a made-up name like Chumhum. I think a distaste for product placement has sensitized us to seeing brand names in fiction, but some brands are a part of our daily lives in a way that is difficult to avoid.
Funnily enough I'm doing something similar, but with the extra step of turning parts of programs into object files first. That means I'm not limited to extant object files, but it requires some amount of reverse-engineering to make it work.

I have a proof-of-concept with aln [1], the Atari Jaguar linker. I start with a Linux x86 a.out executable, which I delink into an ELF object file and then relink as an ELF x86 executable, working around mismatched ABIs as needed.

Maintaining a healthy work/life balance is in no way 'quitting'. Employers expected too much (without adequate reward) and are simply shocked that people are drawing a line.
Because for the last 50 years or so there has been a vast effort to erode the regulatory power of our government. From the FDA and EPA, to the education system and more -- these institutions have either been captured by industry or starved for funding.

The result is that business can do pretty much any ani-consumer thing they want and there is nobody to stop them.
