The time that MS was spooked by Linux may be over, but what's still ongoing is the way that Microsoft still spooks Linux, to this day.

Just read the comments on any Linux news site about systemd. I promise it will be hilarious. "Microsoft trying to take over Linux", "Pottering is a secret MS agent to undermine Linux", "Microsoft infesting Linux with BSODs", ... it goes on and on and on

Honestly, even if Microsoft had tried, it couldn't have done a better job at enraging the Linux folks than systemd did :-D

Maybe this is actually what started that proposal, but it sounds very useful to efficiently implement @Frame when using Zig to create WebAssembly modules.
Why invest in a Paris-based accelerator for AI, considering how hostile the government is towards AI and keen on regulating it into obscurity?
And web browsers, web sites, a fair proportion of most operating systems, software updates, remote work VPNs, etc.

End to end encryption is baked into the overwhelming majority of everything that travels over the internet these days. If it were to be banned, there wouldn't really be anything left.

I do admit, it'll be hard to sell 10 years experience building CRUD apps to the hunter gatherer commune.
Yes it is.

edit: it is up&running now.
yes (at least, that's my theory and experience too)
The point is: "anti-LGBT" is much more about politics and ideology than it is about the actual minorities - the minorities are used as a shield against criticism by activist types, who claim critiquing their ideology is hating those minorities. The typical rhetoric is also highly exaggerating, where if I disagree with the sensibility of trans identification, for example, people will readily accuse me of "denying their existence", as if disagreeing with one idea they hold invalidates their entire person (well, I guess it could if they really have no other content in their heads), when it's just one idea.

Same with being pro-LGBT: The activists aren't pro gay people, or pro black, or pro transpeople. They don't want me listening to Douglas Murray, or Gays Against Groomers, or Thomas Sowell. They definitely aren't pro Scott Newgent of "What is a woman?" fame. They're pro rainbow ideologue people. The politics is the point, the minority status simply a convenient shield from criticism and hate claims a cudgel to beat people over the head with.
The question is very vague, and kind of fails the "Mom test".
I agree it’s wrong if it’s proprietary. But I think open models trained on scraped data regardless of where it came from are valuable enough to offset any upset about the data.

If this was all locked behind Adobe they could charge 10k a month for access (if you think that sounds ridiculous look at autocad licensing) now it’s free for the first time in decades artists have a chance to own and control the next generation of tools and make them entirely free.

Sad to see short sighted ones bickering about slighted that they were part of the data. Real small picture thinking that will screw them over in the long run.
Very sorry to let you down.
Both of those experiences exist, though - if you want to build applications from scratch, go join a really early stage startup. It's strange to me that people are surprised that when you're one of hundreds or thousands of software developers in an organization that you don't get to work on freewheeling projects based on what you want to do.

Also, I don't think there's a platonic ideal of a software developer - there's a lot of mid-40s devs who have children and whose platonic ideal is a well-paying job with good work-life balance.
To “nickel and dime”¹ is usually seen as a bad thing; to intentionally build it into our information infrastructure would probably be a horrible idea.

> The point I'm getting at is that, eventually, a consumer has to trust a third party who may have incentives that don't align with their own. They're just playing a game of which vendor to place that trust in.

The problem is that approximately NONE of the commercial vendors are in any way trustworthy. They're really pushing hard the degree of abuse they inflict on the customers, and social immunity takes long time to build.

The ultimate solution IMO is to have people trust in people they can actually trust - that is, make the third parties local. A partner, a kid, a neighbor, a small company servicing the local community and physically located in it. At this scale, trust can be managed through tried-and-true social techniques humans are innately good at, and have successfully used for many thousands of years. This is how you make most of the tech industry and adjacent problems go away.
The whole rising sun design motif in the header is pretty rough to see. In countries like Korea, it's viewed in a very negative way. It's like someone rocking a confederate flag around.
It's also notable what a small number of people we're talking about. States have passed laws aimed at addressing this that affect literally a handful individuals living in that state. The amount of smoke this issue is generating is way out of proportion to its actual impact. Meanwhile, PED use among athletes and the general public is increasing[1][2] with little public pushback.

You can always give employees more pay, more vacation, better health care and so on. No union will prevent that. It just guarantees the absolute minimum levels.
There’s no real law to maximize profits. Just greed and a court precedent, which has way more nuance than people realize.

No body of legislation ever said that companies needed to maximize profits.

Not a term of art so far as I know. I think I heard it on a political podcast (more in terms of finding the craziest view in a group as opposed to the craziest view of a particular person) - and like you to hear it is to understand it. Probably best seen as a cousin of the straw man.
It will only get worse.

Even with the internet, there are things (eg. from the beginning of covid), where I clearly remember someone (in my country) saying/promising something, eg. regarding vaccines, anti-covid measures, etc., and those things don't exist anymore. I've found a few articles or transcripts in google cache, but the orignals are gone, archive.org doesn't have them and poof, they're gone. "we've always been saying X" will become the truth, since any record of them saying otherwise has somehow disapeared... and it's only been two years!
I think a lot of engineering jobs have a similar disconnect
> The Spanish love the noise is my theory

Totally. I think to them it represents and demonstrates liberation, freedom, fun, family and community. Loud means fun to them.

People complaining about noise are seen as serious party-poopers.
It's tempting, but I don't think I can give up Google Maps and the various chat apps I use.
Don't underestimate Big Corp's resistance to using OpenAI's hosted solutions (even on Azure) for anything that's not marketing fluff.
What is special about high-speed USB-C cables that sees them not work with low-speed USB-C devices (i.e. the iPhone 15 non-Pro model)?

For the "working around the yard" idea, I just got a keypad mounted near the garage door. It is wireless, it just acts like a remote which requires a pin before it sends the toggle command.
I’ve been IF for a while now, and it’s the easiest approach to “putting down the fork.” Rather than continuing on a standard eating schedule, simply skipping a meal or going longer between eating actually creates a new habit rather than trying to modify a bad one.

I’m actually capable of going an entire day without eating now and I’m not craving anything. A lot of days I’ll only have one meal, sometimes two.

It’s done wonders for my health. I’ve lost a little under a point per week (wouldn’t recommend more than this), my blood pressure is down, I no longer get heartburn after eating anything, and I feel lighter and healthier.

There are also tons of studies indicating that going longer between meals is healthier, and had anti aging effects on a cellular level. Seems to be an all around winner to me.
Am or PM: When is the best time to exercise?
I say this as a huge fan of GPT, but it's amazing to me how terrible of a company OpenAI is and how quickly we've all latched onto their absolutely terrible platform.

I had a bug that wouldn't let me login to my work OpenAI account at my new job 9 months ago. It took them 6 months to respond to my support request and they gave me a generic copy/paste answer that had nothing to do with my problem. We spend tons and tons of money with them and we could not get anyone to respond or get on a phone. I had to ask my coworkers to generate keys for everything. One day, about 8 months later, it just started working again out of nowhere.

We switched to Azure OpenAI Service right after that because OpenAI's platform is just so atrociously bad for any serious enterprise to work with.

Optus cost me hundreds and made me wait for hours at the DMV to get a new driver's license. Telstra made me miserable but never that miserable.
Even if no one charges you it still creates a mess for the accused. We already saw how google handled a verified false positive scan that the police determined was innocuous.

In US homes the garage is often a way to access the house with minimal security between the two.
Most people use cases…

Apple’s average replacement cycle hasn’t been every year for a decade if ever.

And if most people are upgrading yearly, why would Apple bother releasing security updates back to the iPhone 5s (2013) in the last year
Have those comments talked about their compatibility with home assistant? I'm done with Chamberlin and their dumb app. I want a one-stop app to control all of my IoT devices, and I don't want it locked into an ecosystem.
I think for leading edge technology, if these regimes can reproduce your work at all, whether they do so is more about the incentive structures in place. By restricting access, you provide the incentives for them to truly indigenously invest in the technology. By restricting access, you actually remove all control of the technology you had in the first place.

After a bunch of back and forth, the US blocked access to Intel chips used in the Sunway Tianhe-2 supercomputer. The next version, the Sunway TaihuLight, was the fastest supercomputer in the world for two years, running on indigenously designed Chinese chips.
Not disagreeing with your point but I’d like to support what the op said regarding “modern” buildings often having excellent sound deadening. My previous Dutch residence also had those “fake” (non concrete) walls but I couldn’t hear others in their rooms even when they played loud music (and they had different nationalities). But if no effort goes into soundproofing, it can be unsurprisingly pretty bad.
The Chargie is also useful if you want to set an arbitrary charge limit. iirc on Samsung you're stuck with 85%, can't change it.

Another key thing for the Chargie is that it will cut power after reaching its requested charge, and only resume charging again if power falls to a certain level. This prevents the "trickle charge to maintain the precise percentage" thing that is a real killer for batteries.
Easy setup:

1) Download and unpack ironwail (best engine).

2) Copy id1/ (from your official Quake install directory) to your ironwail directory

3) Launch ironwail

Adding and launching a mod:

1) Unpack the mod into your ironwail directory

2) Launch ironwail

3) select the add-on

If you have quake on steam, ironwail will automatically detect it.

If you want to directly launch into a mod you can create a shortcut or use command-line parameters.
I think we all underestimate just how much the people who bought into the idea of that car, now have to defend it. Because to admit they got suckered, is incomprehensible.

They’ll go to their graves defending that car.

Someone put together a super clip of all the vaccine propaganda, including all of Colbert’s (literally and proudly, sponsored by Pfizer) song and dance routines… looking at it now, to call it blatant propaganda would be under selling it.
A business is a group of ferrets.
Other than eating and inviting mischief, no much logic there.
No law requires companies to have shareholders, unless they're corporations. And even then, a corporation can have a single shareholder.
I would also add that many (most?) European countries allow multiple unions in the same shop, with worker choice. Inter-union competition is important to keep unions honest and aligned with their workers. I think this more than anything else is responsible for the anti-union sentiment in the US.

Can I just take a minute to thank you for CloudFoundry, it seems like it was what PaaS really should be and when one of the organizations I was contracted with moved to AWS one of the things we realized was that there really was nothing like CF anywhere else.

> If 'objective one is to get paid' it comes across as primarily a monetary transaction. That's generally not how the people I know who are really fulfilled in their careers look at it.

Having a fulfilling career is a myth sold to you by employers.

Focus on getting paid enough to have a fulfilling life instead.

After all, chances are the higher ups at your company will fire you at the drop of a hat if they think it will secure them a bigger year-end bonus.

there is an ongoing initiative in EU (I think US has something similar brewing) called SEPA-Inst which in theory allows free transfers between bank accounts in the EuroZone. sadly, it still comes with a lot of caveats and not possible to guarantee it being free, depending on counterparty banks and potential FX charges.

https://www.quanloop.com/en/investing/are-sepa-payments-real...

it will be interesting to see if lightning/crypto etc. will continue to increase pressure to improve this capability in the traditional banking system - it would enable all sorts of new payment/pricing models for online services like discussed here.

i would love to be able to just make micro-payments for things i have found useful, regardless of what site they are on.

I see this kind of 'well actually' style response a lot when calorie counting vs intermittent fasting gets brought up. Yes they're both forms of calorie restriction in general but the mechanism and the ease of adherence is pretty difference so important to study especially given the results that IF seems to be significantly more effective because it's easier to execute.
They think it will work because if you refuse to do it they won't refund your stolen package unless you file a police report, and convenience with huge downsides wins with consumers 99% of the time over effort with no downsides.

This is just conjecture, btw, I have no authoritative knowledge of their plans to do anything.
It was successful at least in R part of R&D by any definition of "successful" and "research".
"I’d personally go on to say that it’s risky to put too much emotional investment into something you don’t own/control." Bingo! This is exactly what happened to me.

What I learned is that, even in a great environment where there was a ton of latitude to have ownership of technical details and even product details, it's still contained within the broader context of a business. That business has interest in the thing you're working on while it's a factor in creating value, and when it becomes time to change focus onto other things, it will generally do that without much hesitation.

I've been burned by this multiple times. Eventually it clicked for me in the way you phrased it. So I show up and do what I can, bring my expertise as much as I can, gauge where the limits of what I can provide are, and keep a healthy distance mentally otherwise.

One other note - you can still be passionate about software and not one specific day job. You can still work on other projects and explore ideas as much as you want. It's just that that's a separate thing from work. Dedicate time and space separately for that IMO.
There's almost no reason to buy a new one. I don't game or do anything particularly demanding on my phone (that's what my desktop or Steam Deck is for), my phone mainly just exists to rent-seek for the myriad of essential services we've decided need to be phone-only experiences.

Aside: I absolutely loathe how much stuff these days requires a phone to use.
You then get into messy definitional stuff; what's a city, anyway? :)
Don't mistake zero-fucks with zero-cares. Staying cool while keeping your sleeves rolled up working on fixes is an absolute life skill. Knowing it's always "Same shit different pile" is maturity, not resignation. Working hard because you are a valuable engineer doing a good job, despite knowing that the world is full of chaos and nothing will matter in 5 years is called Professionalism.

Get paid, invest, be chill and fun to work with, enjoy your family and friends, go fishing or something.
Doesn’t matter. She still can’t copyright a doodle style.

Not sure I understand your post but let me clarify.

With art, you often need to produce a looooooot of preliminary and intermediate work to achieve the final product. This isn't wasted work, as the grandparent poster seems to think.

It's similar (admittedly, not identical) in many regards with code. Each line of code stands a high chance of being revised or deleted as we iterate and get our code to a working state and then continue to improve it in the future. Those intermediate steps aren't wasted; they're how we get to where we're going.
If it's awful and doesn't improve over time (I'm talking weeks), try pushing your doctor to get an MRI. I visited three doctors before they ordered one and found two bad herniated and degenerated discs, and at that point, surgery was the recommended option. It's been a year after my surgery, and I'm finally pain-free after almost three painful years.
In my experience and observations, calorie restricted diets are pretty easy to adhere to until sometime between dinner and bed time. This is where people typically go off the rails and eat far in excess of satiation, negating any success of the day.

Intermittent fasting typically has people shift their eating times towards the end of the day which should significantly reduce the chances of falling into a pre-bedtime eating habit. Especially if you also shift your sleep window earlier. So if you stop eating at 8PM and make sure you're asleep by 10PM, you're less likely to get hunger pangs.
It is amazing how frequently Wikipedia is vandalized. It happens several times per second. Much of it is removed automatically by bots that will roll back edits which contain strings like "qeqeqeqewqeerrttt". On weekends, you can expect something like "List of Sluts" to appear on the articles for many highschools - they will disappear within a minute or so.

You can configure Wikipedia to send you an email whenever a certain article is edited. I monitor several thousand articles that way, and remove malicious edits. Lots of editors do that, and vandalism is usually cleaned up very quickly.
It’s always very simple:

if you need contiguous memory for a single process then there are no tricks you can do and you need more RAM.

If you don’t need contiguous memory there are many tricks you can do and can get away with less RAM.

99% of us are in the latter.

The bad kind of diversity is projecting your ideology onto others, and deciding to like them. The good kind of diversity is attempting to understand what it would be like to think in ways that are alien to you.

To consider current events, let's take Hamas. Hamas is a deeply conservative and radicalized group. They believe in banning abortion, killing gays, killing Jews, and that atheists are evil. This is not slander, they would agree with all of this. And there are good historical reasons why they believe these things.

Suppose that you're LBGTQ+ and aren't a member of a church, and are carrying a sign saying, "Palestine will be free from sea to sea." What are you actually supporting? You're supporting people who are brown and oppressed, who in turn would like to see you dead. Now it may be that in your ideology it is worth this on ethical principles. But most people like that who I've dealt with simply ignore the fact that they are supporting people who believe in banning abortion, killing gays, killing Jews, and that atheists are evil. And then are caught by surprise if they encounter the fact that Hamas believes in banning abortion, killing gays, killing Jews, and that atheists are evil. (And try to forget that they heard it.)

I, personally, like knowing a diverse group of people. And understanding them for who they are. I may disagree with them violently, but I still like trying to understand them. But this requires a very different kind of tolerance than most progressives preach. For a start, you can't start by banning intolerant speech. Because there is no way to express the intolerant views that many people actually have without being willing to listen to (though not agree with) intolerant speech.
