Schools have gone this route, specifically for students, and it has pluses and minuses.

Offline mode is a thing, but does not work consistently. There is no conceptual distinction regarding why some apps work offline and some don’t.

Certain things that nearly every computer can do, like say print a file, become impossible.

Every app uses its own unique set of widgets and UI concepts. No two apps, even from the same company work consistently or have the same key bindings and capabilities (Gsuite is mostly consistent, but not with Gmail, and other Google apps, move off of Google and it gets much worse very quickly).

On the other hand, my kids can log in on any device and have their environment (as spartan as that might be) the way they left it. Until they get to older grades they don’t have to learn concepts like folders and files (for better or worse).

For businesses this seems awesome. Call center workers, for example, that get kiosk mode systems that run the CRM, KB, and nothing else seems great, basically like a more flexible POS system, but for every role.
This is fixed btw

As we get older it's harder to remember what it felt like to be a kid and how we perceived feedback from adults. I appreciate this kind of science that reminds us of things that might be obvious to young people.

That’s just the classic anti public sector service line in general.

Whatever your feelings are about single payer healthcare, it’s incredibly disingenuous when politicians debate against it by bringing up the cost of such a system, without comparing it to the current cost of the private system it would replace.
In the US? Having to go to the hospital, having an illness etc can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Other countries pay more per paycheck, we pay a lot more per bill.

Going to the hospital would bankrupt me even as a relatively well off software engineer and even with my decent (work-tied) healthcare I still have months of wait time. In order to get into a doctor I made an appointment in February for a visit in September.
Can you elaborate on why it's worrying to you? Is it more worrying than, say, Visual Studio being closed source?

But isn't it a deeper commentary into English culture with Gin since the elderberry is what is used to make Gin from just alcohol? They didn't make a joke about grapes=>wine, or peat moss=>scotch.
I think you should take any summary of a study from this guy that isn't based on your
own conclusions from the experiment and data with a grain of salt because the dude blames fructose for everything. It might be the root of all evil but I'm wary of this being like seeing blood at every murder scene and saying it's the cause.

Like I really want him to be right and it usher in an era of better health and medical outcomes from a fairly straightforward change to diet but there's as many theories as there are people studying the issue. The only thing that we can do now is verify it experimentally. If you're looking at the paper that's the "Testable Predictions" section.

I think the author of VLC has shared the fact that they keep receiving offers to buy the project for some significant sums of money. They refuse to sell on principle.

It is difficult to prevent enshittification when it requires people to refuse to get rich. Most aren't willing to stick to their principles in the face of that.
I don't think it's that clear at all. You own your "likeness", but the limits of what that means is highly untested. Of the similar examples that have been tested in court thus far, the Ford v Midler case is the closest, but the court specifically called out the fact that as a singer her voice is a distinctive part of their identity, and so it is protected.

> In terms of the Chat Control this would be mandatory for all messaging apps.

GDPR is mandatory too, but realistically it's only something that the largest companies need to worry about. If some small news site doesn't implement a cookie banner correctly they're not likely to be sued.

My point is that there will always be alternatives that fly under the radar, or are merely open source projects for which there is no individual or organisation to mandate.

> IF CSS is in place, I don't think the US will sit idle on this, they will want the same capabilities so this issue with the content will be relevant whether you live in the UE/UK/US or Australia.

I suspect it would be different in the US because as far as I know it's not an offence to say and think the wrong things. In Germany it's literally a crime to be a Nazi and here in the UK you can be arrested for telling an offensive jokes.

Just as an example of what I'm talking about here, my girlfriend is a historian and she studied WWII. When we first started dating I'd often send her silly Hitler memes to make her laugh. A lot of our old chat history has references to Hitler, Nazis and Hitler memes in them. She's also dragged me to a lot of Nazi sites over the years and we have thousands photos from those visits. I am in the process of deleting those messages and backing up our photos onto external drives at the moment because I don't want state questioning why we're so interested in the Nazis. I might know they were just memes and it may be true that we're are just genuinely interested in WWII and Nazi Germany, but I rather not have to prove that in court.

If these on device content scanners are implemented and the government really wants to know who has an interest in the Nazi's it's quite possible we could be flagged as suspicious. But thankfully I don't hold offensive views so I never say offensive stuff in private. I don't need to worry about any explicitly racist things I might have said 2 years ago on WhatsApp. But a lot of people do say and believe things in private which could be consider hateful, and those people should take precautions if they don't want the government to know their views. As an example here, just a few weeks ago the private WhatsApps chats from a group of retired police officers were obtained by the media and because those retirees said some racist things about Meghan Markle they have now be charged with hate crimes. Lots of people will likely find themselves in the same boat going forward.
I am curious has anyone subscribed to codecrafters.io and if so what was your impression of the service?

> As of the fourth quarter of 2020, the U.S. had a housing supply deficit of 3.8 million units. These 3.8 million units are needed to not only meet the demand from the growing number of households but also to maintain a target vacancy rate of 13%. Between 2018 and 2020, the housing stock deficit increased by approximately 52% (See Appendix 1 for detailed calculations of the Housing Supply Deficit).
Hi! Sarp here, author of the Build your own BitTorrent challenge on Codecrafters.

Some back story: After being laid off from my FAANG job, I found myself very unmotivated to go back. I started looking for interesting programming projects to revive my interest in coding. While nomading, I discovered Codecrafters on Nomadlist and really liked the push code to git and pass different stages interaction. The gamification helped me focus and projects allowed me to go deeper on software I used (SQLite, Git, Redis etc.). I even picked up a new language (Go) to do the challenges with. After completing all the challenges on the site, I ran out of things to do. This is when I decided to build a BitTorrent client which was one of the highly voted ideas on the site.

I learned many new things by building a BitTorrent client: the BitTorrent protocol, how torrent files are structured, encoding issues, pipelining network requests, url encoding binary values, using Channels in Go etc.

I’d love any feedback on the challenge. Also happy to answer any questions!
I’ve found the opposite work for me. Finding silly pun names early greatly improves the chances of me finishing it.
So is this project open core?
Here is my opinion as someone who worked with alongside North Koreans (textile factory) and visited NK. I am from East Europe and have 10 years in IT.

- NK secret service (or whatever you call it) is more sophisticated than this. They will act as proper company from Turkey, India, China or even EU countries...

- if you actually manage to get some North Korean who escaped to West, they are 10x more dedicated than anyone else. China, or South Korea (usual target countries) do not offer many opportunities, they need money for relatives.

- NK secret services do not attack west infrastructure, or steal info from small fish. They are too small to do that! Most money is from drugs and guns.

- if you hire US only, you eliminate 99.99% of issues. US borders are not ideal, but they do repeal unwanted Asians.

Edit: * stitching, working with cloth, it was textile factory in East Europe

Actually, the point here is that with Mojo, you no longer need to use C/C++ libraries for things that are performance critical since it will just compile down to native speed if you need it to. So you can write nice python code (well with the Mojo additions) and it can be fast and optimized and use things like GPUs, multiple cpu cores and it won't be bogged down by things like the global interpreter lock. Kind of nice.

The point of this benchmark is making it clear that things you wouldn't dream of doing with python are fine in mojo.

People use numpy because python is stupidly slow. Mojo isn't. You can still use numpy of course. But you don't have to.

Denmark, for one. Here we have an extension on the election system in Britain where your local area still does first past the post, but any "wasted votes" are then used to get candidates from a broader geographical area, so that each party ends up with nearly the same number of votes per member they send to parliament.

This means that there are 12 parties in our parliament (not counting those from Greenland and the Faroe Islands), but only 3 in the UK parliament.

I can't say we are healtier, but we are more equal with our votes than the UK are - if the UK had the same system the conservatives wouldn't have had the numbers to dictate Brexit.
That's the argument HR would make, as a means of laundering the actual reason.
This. If there is a government contract involved, even if you are not working directly on it, you will have to pee in a cup.

But getting around that is stupid easy and simple, it is laughable.
I checked the website for the download page and it says

Fruits contains a lot of dietary fibers which lower the side-effect of fructose.

Also, fructose itself is not in such a high dose in an apple, you are far away from fructose syrup concentration which was added to everything pretty much at the same time the obesity epidemic has started.

Finally, fruits contains a lot of other beneficial nutrients, so benefits outweigh the harm fructose can do to you.

We metabolize fructose fine in reasonable doses and with fiber. It has been part of our diet for thousands of years.

It's not just the fructose. Any raw sugar is bound to have nasty-side effects. Our wheat flour is too processed, so the bread and pasta is not great for us as well. But a bit of whole pasta and bread will not spike your insulin level much.

We are, as usual, overdoing it.

> Here is a simple test to see if the republicans are ready to govern, select a speaker.

And here's the real test if Democrats are serious about being the responsible party: help deal with pricks like Gaetz instead of complaining while simultaneously chanting "not my responsibility."

Selecting a speaker is the job of the whole house, and there's nothing stopping Democrats from voting for a moderate Republican (and maybe they should stop trying to get those guys primaryed).

If they're not willing to do that, they should drop all the rhetoric about responsibility and dysfunction and say what they really want: a government that's as dysfunctional as possible whenever they're not in control.

Yes that is true, but the other side of that coin is that deploying changes to the interface between modules is now hard - that's the tradeoff space. If you have really clear interfaces with low churn then you probably have a net win, but in my experience it's really hard to get those interfaces right and that cost can end up beating your gains.
This was re: going closed source until you get to something meaning-full and then open sourcing. Not a funding model.

I'm amazed that the "alt-detection" problem from multiplayer games has become a business problem. I guess the US gov has been doing this for decades for security clearances, is there a commercial equivalent that works internationally?

There is also talk about e-Fuels made from CO2 captured from the air plus hydrogen from electrolysis and green electricity.

The US Navy is very interested in making e-Fuels on nuclear aircraft carriers so said carriers don't need to slow down to take on fuel.
Thanks for sharing this! I'm interested in seeing what you've built and understanding it better. I think that your goals and philosophical guideposts make a lot of sense. I see the search application on your homepage, but I'd like to see other examples to spark imagination for how I might practically use this myself.

Outline: OSS self-hostable team knowledge base
Moodle is pretty flexible. I'm currently enrolled in a university, in two departments, and both between departments and between courses within a department there are huge differences in presentation, structure and kinds of learning items.

People simply dislike their course web site and conclude "it's Moodle". Most of the time it's not, but just how their lecturers are using Moodle. Every alternative will be the same, just with much fewer possibilities (at least in the beginning).
There are quite a few alternatives - Resonate, focused on streaming (https://resonate.coop/) and Formaviva, focused on independent electronic music (https://formaviva.com/)
Only your phone number? That's almost benevolent. Here's a list of things companies have asked me for (including Facebook), and which I refused to provide:

In my country (Belgium), mobile payments are a big thing using the national payment network (Bancontact). Lots of small shops don't accept cards and only do mobile payments because of the lower transaction fees.

These mobile payments only work with your banks app or a dedicated app (Payconiq).

My current approach is to put all these apps in my work profile which I can turn off (using Insular from F-Droid). Only apps for which I need background activity or instant notifications (Signal, an open source podcast app, and sadly WhatsApp) are installed in the main profile.

Sadly, this approach still requires me to have Google services always running in the background for a functioning Play store in my work profile.

I was under the impression that it usually referred to the 'maid' in a hotel room cleaning service, when rooms were cleaned more regularly before COVID.

If you were away on business somewhere sketchy, the cleaning service could physically access your room and your documents / laptop in an at rest state, potentially without you knowing. This could be particularly a concern years ago if the country that you were in was hostile and the cleaning crews in major hotels had embedded state security (the other side of the iron curtain than you were from or something)
Canadian census table, "mother tongue", Quebec Sign Language is listed as 990; language spoken most often at home 1475; "Other language spoken at home 6200."

c.f. ASL at 4965, 8175, 37620.

I perhaps overstated the case, but...

Surely a good part of the 990-1500 are also functional in ASL. Those who aren't are a vanishingly small subpopulation to have a team of interpreters on staff scheduled to shifts, ready to videoconference.
Maybe it's a dumb question, but how do we know these biomarkers weren't from eating fish that are the seaweed?

If the biomarkers are able to remain detectable for thousands of years without breaking down, perhaps they're also able to accumulate in fish?

Yeah, I could never reconcile the concept of a "balanced" diet and the idea that a certain, easy to produce, category of food should be the majority of calories. It was clearly a nudge on the exploding post-war populations to eat foods that are good for business and not necessarily good for health.

An acre of corn or wheat makes whole lot more than that same acre being used for leafy greens or grass-fed proteins and fats (i.e. livestock)
I don't think those fill the same niche. They're nice-to-haves on top of Python. The promise of Mojo is that it's for when Python isn't good enough and you need to go deeper, but you want the Python ecosystem and don't want to write C.
It’s a fair rant since it is their recommended installation method, and it’s a security project.

The question with the trump era changes isn’t what percentage itemize in a given year.

The question to ask is what percentage should always itemize. and how long it takes for them to figure out if they should or not each year.

It is true that some people just won’t bother, but that’s just a hidden tax hike on the middle class. It doesn’t make sense for that group to bother to take the time to learn turbotax or hire an accountant in order to potentially save $1000.

Also, the Trump changes intentionally cause under-witholding, so now people have to fill out the “did I get fined for underpayment?” form, and the “do I need to file quarterly taxes?” form.

The change that intentionally broke the withholding formula was explicitly designed to make tax preparation more painful.
