I believe #2 is infidelity.

Looking it up: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/common-causes-d...

I was slightly incorrect. Financial reasons was the #1 reason to get married. Apparently the #1 reason for divorce was "lack of family support". Which I suppose can still come down to financial issues in some way.

Though, it does seem to shift depending on the stage of marriage. First year divorces happen mostly due to incompatibility, whereas long term (8+ years) happens due to infidelity.
You mention Italy: there the EU is often (but very much not always) seen as the lesser of the two evil compared to the local government.
Well, yes, obviously, but do you realise what a headache it is (would be) if the default behaviour of Excel changes? How many people would complain if things that used to work suddenly stop working with a new version?
Rural living has a huge carbon footprint compared to city living for many people. This is a real issue. Not that it can't be solved, but it is something that should be taken seriously.

i have an honest question, and as context i am about 10 hours into studying the schrödinger eqn for the first time (as in deriving the math). How do we know this QC stuff works? AFAICT no evidence of quantum supremacy has been experimentally observed, and all of QM sits on top of the measurement problem, which has led to subjective interpretation of what the abstract results mean.
Just use pnpm. It uses the same node_modules so you get 100% compatibility with all sorts of frameworks/build systems/IDEs, but stores all files in a single global content-addressable directory, and hardlinks everything from there (or reflinks if your filesystem supports it). It also hides indirect dependencies so you don't import them accidentally (you can still use a flattened directory if you need it).

If you install libfoo@1.0.0 and libfoo@1.0.1 and the only difference between them is a single file, the second copy will only add that file to disk.

If you then install that libfoo@1.0.0 into a hundred projects spread across your disk, no files will be copied (both reflinks and hardlinks only add a bit of filesystem metadata).

There is nothing reasonable. Intellectual Property is, to its core, unreasonable.
Step in the right direction, but I wonder what's taking so long on getting support for cameras. That's my biggest use case at the moment. Having a bunch of Nest cameras that don't natively incorporate with HomeKit and having to do all sorts of work arounds to get a still generally crappy experience is killing my excitement for the smart home. And I won't buy new ones until they support Matter and there is true interoperability.
I really like the idea of Kelvin versioning for an OS: instead of counting up and adding features forever, count down until you're done.
I agree, except that engineering is"fit for purpose at the smallest cost."

For me personally, I am banking on having multiple business customers for my software. If I consider the cost amortized, I can spend a little more to engineer something better.

But yes, it still has to be fit for purpose. My customers will provide a document that explains what they want to do with my software and on what platforms. If I sign a contract, that means I am committing to supporting their purposes on those platforms.
What is the value proposition of this over npm?

(I last looked at this closely way back... back then it solved problems I didn't have and didn't solve the problems I did have.)
I would expect border length scales with the square root of country area, so smaller countries have disproportionally longer borders than larger ones.

There also must be more countries smaller than the average country than there are larger ones (https://www.worldometers.info/geography/largest-countries-in... confirms that. Ukraine is 45th of 223, or about 20% down.)

So, I guess yours is underestimating the size.

You probably get a better estimate by using the Ukraine to estimate the scaling constant (√603,550km²)÷4953km and then use a list of land areas to estimate border lengths.

The article gets into what I'll call correctness, near the end, but doesn't highlight that in the lede.

I think correctness is often much more important than efficiency, elegance and other things that can sound like conceits or misalignments.

I don't mean some academic or niche formal proofs notion of correctness. I mean ordinary everyday minimal level of competence of systems. This includes that the system exists in the actual real-world environment of normal users, as well as the actual real-world environment of attackers. We often fall flat on both aspects.

It's one of the biggest problems in software. On average, our field behaves like criminally irresponsible, incompetent clowns, who casually pull prop clown horns out of our posteriors (and StackOverflow and ChatGPT), commit them as part of our sprints, and call it done. And frequent "security updates" and "bug fixes" for what should be considered irresponsible failures needing deeper corrective action.

Personally, I'm considering next working on things that have a high priority to work correctly. Which by default is humbling, but it becomes downright scary, when you consider that very little of the software, infrastructure, and personnel ecosystem on which we depend has been developed with a sufficiently responsible and competent mindset.
No. A civil engineer's response would (should?) be immediately that the client cannot build the bridge for that cost, simply because it will kill someone as a first order effect. That's the ethical consideration. The downsides of janky rendering or poor memory management aren't quite the same unless you actually add up the power wastage and apply it as an impact on global warming. But, those are not a first order effect, and although they should be, they don't have the same influence on the solution.

We don't have that much untouched and naturally forested land any more. One of the major causes of the forest fires that we do have are that they spray any land that has a forest fire to prevent growth of low value species (like aspen that happen to be a fire break species) and then plant pine (which happens to be serotinous.)

I have been to Japan a couple of times. The first time I was there in 2016 many of the lights were very blue with hint of green. I noticed when I was there over the summer that the lights were getting greener, many of them pretty much just green. I think they have been transitioning, perhaps as they have updated to LED lights or something they have been making them more green?
One thing I discovered when buying some custom plates made from old traffic signals was that while the glass for red and yellow were obviously those colors, the glass for “green” was actually blue.

They appear green because of the warmer light that incandescent bulbs give off. I imagine that things transition to LED they’ll choose warmer light frequencies to continue this effect? https://mytrafficlights.com/why-does-the-green-lens-on-my-tr...
fwiw the change specifically in this release (removing a lot of plugins) will make that adoption path a lot smoother.

Weirdly, going from v1 to v4 is a lot easier now than v1 to v2 or v1 to v3.

That being said... It's too little too late. I use `pnpm` now and maybe I'll use `bun` after total Node compatability.

>The Chrome team is ideologically wedded to the idea that everything should be a web app

I'm not surprised, and doubt the Firefox team is any different in that regard.

So far at least the Chrome team hasn't removed from Chrome the ability to go to a new web page in response to code external to Chrome, so we have that to be thankful for at least. Yay?

(The desktop code I maintain achieves that effect by invoking /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome with the desired URL as an argument.)

The color receptors in your eyes don’t actually correspond with red, blue, and green with the same wavelengths being able to trigger multiple receptors. On top of this your retina absorbs more blue light as you age.

So, defining the separation between Red, Blue, and Green is really fairly arbitrary.
All of your answers are correct, in a court of law. A traffic stop is not a court of law. Task #1 at a traffic stop is to make it home in one piece.

> Refusal to answer the question and asserting your right is not a suspicious action, and they are legally required to stop asking your such idle questions at that point.

This is...not how traffic stops work. For all intents, it is safer to assume the police office stopping you knows little or nothing about the law, civil rights, or the Constitution.

> They can of course break the law and use that to detain you and if they do that you should not resist.

> Once you are handed your license back, the stop is over...Driving off is not arguing with the police - it's going about your business.

These are potentially at odds, for example. If the officer doesn't know/believe/understand that handing your license back constituted the end of the stop, in his mind you have just fled a crime scene. In his mind, you have escalated and given him a reason to use force. You (or your heirs) may prevail in court that he was "wrong," but on the day of the stop the officer can make that much-later victory Pyrrhic.

Personal perspective from stable 15 years long relationship, 2 children, not married.

Because it's a farce.
There is nothing permanent or guaranteed from marriage, so all that's left is commercialization of my affection, which is not for me, and a big bill which can be used for other life goals which I find more appealing.

I won't go into more details for the "ceremonial part", because there is an alternative: sign a piece of paper harshly and be done.
This is cheap and effective, sharing finances simplify managing them and in case of medical emergencies you are "allowed in" as husband/wife.

Here, Canada, after living together for 1 year it's equivalent to being married, so we have literally lost any incentive to do so: we can skip all legal costs.
Actually we joke about it, saying "I'll merry you" in moments of affection, but that's about it.
Money rarely follows those that have good intentions. The intentions are rarely even part of the equation there. And as Tinder has already showed us, there’s a lot of money in keeping people lonely, giving them just enough but not too much. Something tells me that the large majority of those building AI companion bots do not have good intentions in mind. Of course, only time will tell, but considering the track record of such topics so far I doubt this is the way to go.
Then you avoid the browser, by emulating half a browser.. which is still useless, because you have plenty dynamic state you can’t test this way.
I don't know. A cop who is exemplary in every way and yet remains silent about, turns a blind eye to, or defends bad cops on the force is not a good cop in my book.

You might want to try setting it up as a virtual co-working site for demo purposes. Set up little virtual offices for people working in various kinds of projects, with the acknowledgment that they can be talked to if they put up a little green flag or something.

What's funny is that the complaints about screensavers and wallpapers on macOS are just wrong. The assets are stored "in the cloud" and downloaded when needed. This has been true since Sierra or so where it started with Siri voices and printer drivers. All sorts of shit that used to be packed in the installers is now loaded dynamically.

It's not a perfect system but it's fucking ridiculous to complain about wallpapers. But it's The Register. They have ten fantasy criticisms they use for strawman arguments for any single legit criticism.
> this problem has been whined to death

It obviously hasn't, there is still so much low hanging fruit everywhere.

And don't think this problem is unfixable, we will fix it at some point via standardization and each whiner is a data point that helps us get closer to standardization. It happened to cars, planes, boats, tanks etc, those fields started out with a lot of whacky ideas that didn't fit but then designs got standardized and the only thing left to do was to optimize those standard designs.

Edit: But for example, whining gave is git, a fast standard version control system that everyone now uses. When enough people whine about something then it gets fixed, bigger problems needs more of it.
> Linux still suffers from the same problems it did when I left, terrible multi monitor support. Right now I am running 4 Monitors, an UltraWide, 1080p Landscape, 4K Landscape, and a 1920x1200 portrait mode. This configuration of different sizes of montiors, in different orientations has always been, and continues to be a nightmare on linux.

This is exclusively an issue with Xorg. (as the other commenter also mentioned), the Wayland OOB experience is pretty solid these days, as much hate as Wayland got these are the real problems that it was designed to solve properly.

I would love to hear other complains, 100% linux to 100% windows is quite a strong transition, definitely not one I'd be comfortable making so your situation must have been mired with issues much larger than feeble mixed DPI support; because honestly speaking Windows has significantly larger issues than that.

Mining companies have to solve the problem of run-off as part of the Clean Water Act[1]. Reclamation is the process of 'fixing' the landscape. There are countless benefits from doing this including carbon storage[2].

"mines in the US have a very piss poor track record of dealing with long term environmental issues" - you are conflating old, abandoned mines with current mines. Current mining processes deal with everything you've listed.

Won't speak to WASM, or I'll go all "get off my lawn."

But to me the value-sell of unikernels is: 1) Perf; squeak out some extra cycles by throwing overboard things you don't need and pulling things into "ring 0" that you do 2) Simplify; Potentially reduce complexity by ditching some of the things you don't need and 3) Security; Potentially change attack surface ... again, by....

To be clear: I don't think this is right for writing microservices and webapps like most of the people on this forum are employed doing... I think the use case is more for people building infrastructure (databases, load balancers, etc. etc.)
Changing C to have less extensive UB doesn't give you correctness. It gives you slightly less wrong code with possibly slightly different performance properties.

Correct code looks something like write the thing in a theorem prover, where it mostly suffers existentially.

So give you can't/won't write correct code, all you have is a Pareto surface denoted by performance and correctness aspects, and the distance between what you're shipping and that bounding optimum.

The Register opinion pieces are are a lot of hyperbole. I'm pretty sure that's what they are going for. I've always found that fluffing stuff up for the sake of a laugh or a dramatic reaction is the easy way out. There are plenty of ways you can coax out the irony by sticking closer to the truth of the situation.

The truth is that yes OS's are bloated, especially Windows 10 and 11. Apple has its own problems with locking down their hardware platform by preventing upgrades and repairs, but to say that there isn't anything new under the sun in the OS improvement department is missing the point. There's always room from innovation. Its just that our current culture is being driven by market forces more then it should. We need to get back to the basics and stop worrying about the bottom line. And many are independent developers are already doing that.

I'm a Windows IT professional/Gamer and because Microsoft the crossed the line with forcing online accounts and their attempts and preventing 3rd party browsers in Windows 11, last year I switched to PopOS and wrote about it[0]. Overall the past year has been a good experience with Linux, but I often struggle with updates that break the boot process and getting my Epson multifuction device to work reliability. I'm thinking of switching to Manjaro because I need more stability for my work environment.

The moral of the story is, innovation isn't dead, there is plenty of room for exciting improvements and new ways to work with technology, It's just that we've given corporations to much power over our lives, and that has to be corrected for things to get better. Eventually that will happen, but it will take time.
Off the Grid in Wyoming: It's Not That Simple to Live Simply
I am certainly not saying Americans don't deserve representation. I am saying that when you're governing 330M people it becomes almost impossible to have proper representation. What good is it to add more Reps? So people can have easier access to their Reps? Good, except if the Reps are now drowned in the noise of all the other Reps you haven't really increased representation. As you hinted the solution might be some new layer of abstraction, but that's not a silver bullet since people tend to focus on national politics above all. I am not denying progress is being made (and we should strive to keep it that way).
