> s also not fair to expect ISO, a documentation and consensus building body, to act like an engineering org under contract to us. That's not what it does, and it really couldn't do that if it wanted to.

This is a bad faith strawman argument. You're the one who said they're not employees. Again, they can be held accountable for their decisions whether they're employees or not.

> But also our leadership (like CTO offices) that seem fine using all the open source tech for free without contributing back in any form.

Speak for yourself here. Many people (myself included) work at organisations that do contribute back either financially, or by reporting issues and submitting fixes (both of which I've done to our OSS dependencies in the last month). It's not fair of you in one breath to say "I'm just asking questions", "what exactly are _you_ doing to fix this", and immediately follow it with "nobody is contributing anything back". And if your response here is that you weren't talking about me specifically, then you need to decouple your interrogation from your soapbox.

> But ISO? I think it is being too complicated for volunteer compiler contributions to keep up with,

The volunteer compilers like MSVC (which is proprietary), gcc (which based on last time I looked is primarily developed by employees from red hat and IBM), or Clang which has been massively contributed to by apple and Google up until very recently?

> s hard to get around lack of funding. Syntax isn't going to fix funding issues.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, at all.

Agreed here, unfortunately. We've had a decade plus of consolidation, and what we've ended up with is a camel (IMO)
I am as much anti sureveillance as you get. There is abdifference so between end-to-end encryption of communications (all for it) and collecting user data (all against it). Usually I hate semantics, because most of the time people use it to nitpick on deffinitiom ignoring what people understand using a word, but here the differwnce between the two things is a) technical reality and b) relevant for topic at hand.
Modern icons are mostly useless. I remember old apple design guidelines recommending to design icons with recognizable shapes. iPhone icons are all square making impossible to identify the right one at a first glance. Same for the MacOS dock.
EU is a wide range of countries with very wide range of expectations on anything so all generalizations are wrong.

EU’s function is to create a mechanism to find a common ground but that’s very hard so that’s why EU is has made a name for being slow and ineffective.

Spain and Switzerland or Sweden and Italy would have very, very different understanding on what the state should be able to do and how much involvement they must have because the way they govern their countries and the problems they face are very different.

Spain or Italy would usually be arguing on preserving some traditional way of doing things, Finland and Denmark would attack the issue very pragmatically and have great ideas that can’t possibly work anywhere else and the France and Germany would propose something that would increase their power in the area and the original concerns would be secondary.

Signal provides source code and binary hashes, so you can build from source and ensure the running binaries match the source you built from.

You can further use tools like Wireshark to show that the data sent away from your device is encrypted.

So yes, this is fairly straightforward.
Not sure if that was /s or not, but it is indeed an important insight to realize that no IT system can have 100% reliability once you factor in hardware failures and power outages. And that's before we talk about bugs.

"imagining things" - That's always hard to be sure of. In my case I have no idea what it is but I just don't like looking at OLED screens, especially reading. I got a samsung a couple of years ago and as soon as I had it I didn't really like reading on it, especially in low light. So for my next phone I went back to LCD and immediately preferred it. I couldn't care less about color reproduction scores (or whatever) on a tiny screen. If I want perfect color I'll go outside.
Indeed - it amazes me that people talk about Apple like they have excellent customer service.

I've honestly had much better customer service experiences with just about any other OEM.
Not surprising from Spain if you ask me.

Spain's central gov's been found to actively spy trhough malware politically opposing parties[1], so hearing they are against e2e encryption just sounds about right.

Lol! Are you ready to deploy an ssh-capable terminal emulator at all times? What's wrong with making simple tasks simple?

I run multiple Raspberry Pi cameras (with nicer camera modules) to watch the pets if the family travels. The RTSP camera streams run in a systemd unit on their boxes. I have some healthchecks to make sure packets are being streamed as other systemd units. Each camera gets its own private IP on a ZeroTier network I manage. Since copilot is only run on demand, it's a no brainer to have around for administration.

Sometimes one of the cameras just starts streaming out blank frames. I'd much rather manage this through a copilot web interface on my phone when I'm on vacation than find a keyboard to use SSH with and restart the camera stream unit. I mean sure, I could write a healthcheck which checks whether blank frames are being emitted, but it's just so much easier to restart it via copilot than it is to write that healthcheck and it only ever happens a few times a year. Shrug.
To be fair, we've had this since BSD4.3 (1986) through inetd - which worked slightly differently, but same overall idea. Once popular, it fell out of fashion because... Well, there isn't really any reason for it.

A good server process is idle when nothing is happening, and should be using miniscule real memory that should be easy to swap out. If the server in question uses significant memory for your use-case, you also don't want it starting on demand and triggering sporadic memory pressure.

It does make it easier to avoid blocking on service start in early boot though, which is a common cause of poor boot performance.

It did. One click in the right place in the Control Panel and it looked like W95/NT4/W2K. (So did Windows 7, and therefore I must assume Vista, too. [Skipped that one myself.])

But, hey, brand-new users and children couldn't be expected to find that, right?

>Interestingly, there have been some unintended downstream impact of this progressive law, such as lower women participation in senior level roles

This isn't downstream impact. It's more of a choice. The women choose not to strive for senior level roles. They express this choice by choosing the 4 day work week.

We shouldn't call it an unintended downstream impact because it's not something that should be corrected. If women choose not to work as hard as men, then we shouldn't try to equalize their participation in senior roles.

> I will always use HTTP/1.1 on port 80 but my customers wont be able to connect even if they try, my only option is to tell them to uninstall their anti-virus and hope that works.

Because of infrastructure malware like ad injectors at ISPs, it's probably in your customers best interests to use HTTPS.

Hell, it's better to use HTTPS with a self signed cert than HTTP.

> hurts a producer that is not complying with the authority.

There's always the risk of a conspiracy of vendors deplatforming someone. That's true. I'd be more worried about your ISPs or electricity companies unilaterally shutting off your service.

If you see Letsencrypt going all political, like Patreon, and kicking off people with the wrong views, then yeah we have a problem.

Yeah, this is just nonsense.
Absolutely this. Cloudflare simply provide website owners with the tools. I've used them on a number of sites. For example, someone provides a local service and is sick of hacking attempts from the same 5 countries. Block 'em. Or they sell products that can't be delivered internationally, so why expose yourself to pointless inquiries or hacking attempts?

Apple always delays as much as possible and avoids admitting that there is an issue.

I'm dutch and this is definitely not some stipulated requirement. Mandatory 40 hr jobs do exist. (Edit! A commenter above me shows that apparently it's difficult for employers to disallow requests for shorter workweeks, so take what i say with a grain of salt. All i know is that i often come across job openings for 40hr/wk contracts only)

That said, taxation and society as a whole is structured such that it doesn't always make sense to work 5 days. Like the author mentions, in a certain tax bracket you effectively lose 10% of your income to go from a 5 day to a 4 day work week.

Then, if you have kids, getting daycare reduces the benefits of working full time even further. To wit: I spend ~€1250/month after tax cuts on putting two kids into daycare, for 2 days. That exceeds my mortgage.

Earn more? Less tax cuts. Work longer hours? Be prepared to fork over even more money.
That’s “image retention”, which only shows when using very low brightness settings (<25%) and resolves itself over time. It’s even mentioned in Apple’s manual somewhere.

Burn-in is permanent and visible at high brightness, and also extremely unlikely as panels have had built-in algorithms to avoid it for the past decade.
Is there any technical reason why it would only be seen in the Pro Max or should all models be equally susceptible?
Explanatory page at https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/arbeidsovereenkomst... (Dutch only AFAICT, sorry)

Employers are almost required to approve a request to work less hours than full time. The reasons why it would not be allowed are fairly minimal. The only reasons allowed are:

- Nobody else can take over the work (ie very specialized knowledge)

- Insurmountable problems with work shift planning (simply having to hire another person is not considered insurmountable)

- Not enough money or work (rare, would primarily occur for people wanting to work more instead of less)

- No space in the personnel formation (would presumably also mostly apply for people wanting to work more rather than less)

In addition this law only applies to companies with more than 10 employees, the employee requesting part time has to work there for at least 26 weeks and they need to file the request at least 8 weeks in advance (to give the employer time to hire additional people)

That said, yes it is great and I agree completely with TFA. I fully believe that having 5 employees at 32 hours/week is better for a company than 4 employees at 40 hours/week, for the reasons stated in the article. It is better for employees too, because an extra day a week to do errands (while the kids are at school!) brings some much needed extra time in a household where both partners are working. Even if you are not married having more time for yourself can be a great choice if you already have enough income.

That just means beliefs about things that do not or will not ever affect you, er, don’t affect you. It seems like a trivial point.

You’re still accumulating risk though. You don’t know when a false belief will lead yo to make a consequential error, and also false beliefs could lead you to adopt faulty attitudes or ways of thinking that could lead you towards false beliefs in consequential ways. Or you could propagate such false beliefs to others, which may be consequential for them.

The endgame for something like this is purely-dynamic percentages....i.e hourly pay.

IMHO this is where many rank-and-file dev jobs are headed...you will be paid by the hour to close tickets, and when there are no tickets, there is no work, and no pay.

Employers will sell this as a "benefit" like "unlimited PTO"...but it's really not

Be careful about pursuing that four day work week...
You are being very dismissive here. How do you know that everybody that complains about screen or LED flicker are "imagining things"?

Case in point, I agree with GP. I am also sensitive to LEDs flickering at 50 or 100 Hz (EU resident here). The flickering is more apparent when moving the eyes as opposed to staring at the flickering source. I assume some people's eyes have more "integration time" than others.

PWM dimming is only necessary if you value color accuracy. Chinese OEMs tend to provide a choice to use DC dimming, but I do not think Apple will ever accept the burden of adding another list item to their settings pages.

Most people only notice flicker during saccades. A larger proportion of people will notice scrolling purple/blue smear, that manifests itself at extremely low source current, when you have really dark shades of grey on a dimmed screen in low brightness environments.

As an aside, burn-in and mura seem to be solved problem these days, due to display driver ICs constantly characterizing the I-V curve of individual subpixels and applying compensation using aging models. Variabilities introduced during manufacturing are also optically captured for compensation.

Additionally, there exists compensation circuits within the TFT plane for fine-adjustement of uniformity for each subpixel.

Copyright was never meant to give perpetual rights, which is what your scheme would do (as it does now). So might as well not change the current system, because the conclusion is the same.

The final arbiter was never "does it have commercial value still?" until today. That's a purely modern perspective pushed by companies like Disney, because of course it is. That's all they care about. We don't have to care about that. In fact, I'd suggest it's completely immoral to accept that framing when we look at how important public domain has historically been to our culture.

The limited tasks exposed by cockpit are also simple (or depending on the individual, simpler) in a terminal, but if you want a point-and-click UI for just a few things, go ahead.

That cockpit is very limited and seemingly has no future does not mean you can't like what it does now. Just might be worth considering if there are better-supported alternatives.
>Is this "gut problems are behind everything" theory is just simply quackery?

I'd say it's more a blind shot into a wide domain we know little about or its mechanisms, often told with high confidence ("just boost your gut microbiome with X food/probiotic"), as dietary advice usually is.

I think a lot of it is also mistaking causes and effects or correlation for causation.

If anything of the sort trully and reliably worked for fixing X (not just having this or that paper with some mediocre results under dubious conditions, or some "testimonial" like stories of "it worked for me", from people we know nothing about their specific issues and comorbidities and other factors), then it would be packaged and marketed in an instant, not as dietary supplements and bro advice, but as official treatments.

It just seems to me that a lot of times, people get stuck in this boss vs servant mentality. That companies are these groups of people that control everything. I find it a very wrong view of the world. In the western world it's so easy to become your own boss, and even employ people if you wish. All of a sudden you are part of this group that "controls everything".

Plenty of people are not 'school smart' like software developers, but still start some contracting business and make nice money.

It's unacceptable that we've finally reached a point where only the creator or owner can ever do something with a creation, regardless of how long ago it was created. Just because you created a thing doesn't give you an inalienable right to own it forever. We're just making it so because "commercial value" and other bullshit.
