A Polite Way to Say "Ridiculously Complicated"
I would maybe agree with you if the marketplace were not operated by Valve. But it is. This makes very clear that the one of the intended use cases of the skins is to be sold. Which is understandable, it's very likely Valves makes in the order of a billion dollars just from the marketplace.
SteamOS supports HDR, VRR and Raytracing.

Joshua Ashton (Valve Developer) gave a talk called "Rainbow Frogs: HDR + Color Management in Gamescope/SteamOS" at XDC this year where he explained how they improved colour management on Linux when other people have so far failed.

Melissa Wen (Igalia) talked more about how they're gonna try and upstream the work, but there are lots of moving upstream parts and they all move very slowly in "The rainbow treasure map: advanced color management on Linux with AMD/Steam Deck"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg4eSAP1uc4&t=4010s

There is also a talk by Friedrich Vock called "Improving the World's Slowest Raytracer" about how they're slowly making RT viable on Linux.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg4eSAP1uc4&t=27361s

Overall, a very interesting set of talks for anybody interested in Linux gaming.

I had a doctor once recommend a temporary treatment that would be provided by a third party. I called the third party and asked how much it would cost; they had no idea. I called my insurance company and asked how much it would cost; they had no idea. I called my doctor and asked how much it would cost; they had no idea.

Literally nobody involved in the entire chain of providers had any idea how much it would cost. The best advice anybody could give me was to get the treatment, then look at the bill afterwards. (Oh, and nobody had any idea when I might get a bill either-- my wife is still receiving bills from the birth of our most recent child, 18 months ago.)
The feature you're looking for doesn't really sound like the nontechnical "it just works" experience they're advertising.

No. The bar exam is an outdated, gatekeeping, hazing mechanism that requires rote memorization and application of blackletter law and is altogether unrelated to the practice of law.

However, it wouldn't hurt to shorten law school from three to two years. The third year is a waste.

It's not very hard to see when particular web requests did not happen, or particular JS did not execute.
It worked far better than you'd think. The ability to atomically change massive chunks of Google's code across projects was amazing. At some companies I worked at, if you wanted to make a breaking change in a common library, like say rename a method, it'd be a serious issue. You'd need to release a new version of your library, then you'd start migrating teams using that library one by one or cajoling them into it, and then, years later, you might be able to delete the old version. And you'd have to maintain it the whole time. At Google, you could just rename the method in the library and in every client of that library in the same single commit. It was magical! Almost all development at Google was done at HEAD in a single branch, and it was a beautiful thing. It's probably also why Bazel and Google's open source stuff are not great at versioning and backwards compatibility; it's not something they worry about internally.
Since I am sending you down the rabbit hole anyway, you should check out stable-fast:

https://github.com/chengzeyi/stable-fast

It's the most promising "fast" and flexible stable diffusion implementation akin to this paper or vLLM that I know of. It doesn't have as many caveats as other implementations, like AITemplate (which is basically Turing+ and linux only) or torch.compile (basically no support for changing inputs/loras, and super long compilation on every startup/change).

Woz himself has spoken out against Apple's anti-repair stance.

For a few gens now "simple" to swap out iPhone parts like screens need to be purchased directly from Apple and authorized to go into the device that's being repaired via IMEI. This kills off tons of third party market options. Imagine if vehicle manufacturers required that you buy all replacement parts from them. In the case of vehicles, there are tons of used, reconditioned, and third party parts available that work just fine as replacements.

This kind of behavior is why I'll never "buy" an Apple device; you never truly own it and can do what you want to do with it, from both hardware and software perspectives.

This is not sarcasm.

You are asking for basic development capability in the base OS installation.

Vast majority of Windows development uses .NET, or uses frameworks etc. The barebones C++ compiler and standard library simply won't work for most development on Windows, so what's the point? You are expecting base functionality to cater to your very niche specific needs which is practically useless for the vast majority of Windows development in general. There's no business case for it. Won't happen.

Even on Linux I need to install a lot of headers and libraries and compilers and SDKs before it can be used for development. Ubuntu base install is practically useless for dev without `apt install <all the things>`.
Deeper interface to wade through, even more mysterious & distancing, oh great.

What is changing about how we use computers that is genuinely getting us more in touch, more aware, more capable as computer users?

I don't think this argument has any legs. You request a page from a web server, the server gives you back some html and some javascript, you execute the javascript which detects if you are using an adblocker.

There is no tracking involved, if you believe the js you got back is spyware you can refrain from running it and you can't watch the vid. Should every website ask for your consent to serve you javascript now?
Pretty sure it’s satire / sarcasm!
No, that’s exactly what they want to prevent: pissants who game the exam and then go on to practice law.

If you’ve done law school, that should be good enough. No need to pin everything on one exam.

Current smart glasses (like those AR glases from Meta) doesn't provide any screen output. Also not everyone want to wear glasses (and many that do need prefer contact lenses).

But I agree with your point that some combination of Apple Watch, AirPods, Meta AR could provide a better experience and probably future AR glasses will have better display technologies.

I wish though pico projectors got more maintstream in devices such as laptops, tablets - there could be many useful applications for indie devs.

Siri question type things I can use my watch for real time translation is neat but it has to be a big and frequent use case to differentiate from just taking my phone out and using google translate (which i believe i can also do on my apple watch).
I hope things have changed, but then again, it could have been your management's decision. A friend from grad school came in on another acquisition as CTO of the company being acquired. He told me that he ignored M&A's suggestion to lie about the interview process to his team.
No, the state is what GUARANTEES your freedoms. This entire fiction of freedom without a state is absurd. Without a state there is no clean running water, no energy security, no protection from criminals, no roads, no school teaching your kids to read, ...

That said you need a balance, but this total opposition to the state doing anything new to face new problems or offer new solutions is just a naive ideology.
Sports culture is so crazy. Why is it illegal for kids to smoke and drink and get tattoos, but we actively encourage sports that can cause lifelong injuries, while making almost no effort to promote any kind of low risk fitness, that doesn't make you feel so awful most people will just quit?

In some cases, those sports involve gaining over 300lbs, which seems like it would largely counteract any benefits of the excercise.

Although it does seem like there's a certain number of people with some kind of major psychological need to prove themselves to themselves and have some kind of way to measure their progress and know they are gaining strength every day, and for them sports might be better than the self destructive lifestyle they sometimes do if they get consumed by feeling like they're "not enough".

From the linked EU memo in the YouTube description:
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/MEMO_1...

Can users still use ad blockers?

The proposal does not regulate the use of ad blockers. Users have the freedom to install software on their devices that disables the display of advertisement. At the same time, the Commission is aware that 'free' content on the internet is often funded by advertisement revenue. Therefore, the proposal allows website providers to check if the end-user's device is able to receive their content, including advertisement, without obtaining the end-user's consent. If a website provider notes that not all content can be received by the end-user, it is up to the website provider to respond appropriately, for example by asking end-users if they use an ad-blocker and would be willing to switch it off for the respective website.
Wow – this feature has been years in the making, it's great they've finally crossed the finish line!
They each get $10k - buyer and seller. For very expensive homes realtors will often "take a hit" to secure a sale.

They (GabeN I believe) mentioned early on that it was "painful" to hit the Deck's price point. Unsure if this means sold at a loss or just a smaller-than-ideal profit.

There's already "DeckHD" after-market upgrade kits, a 1920x1200 OLED screen for $100.

(Nango co-founder here) That's a great point. You highlight a key limitation of traditional unified APIs and one of the reasons why we started Nango.

There's a lot of subjectivity that goes into unifying functionalities across APIs. Traditional unified APIs must make these subjective decisions for all their customers in a one-size-fits-all manner.

Nango lets you customize integrations & schemas, so you can make these subjective decisions for yourself. The result is a unified API that truly fits your business use case.

Still, some radically diverging API functionalities cannot be unified, which requires some additional API-specific logic to handle. This can be abstracted in our integration scripts, supported by our tooling, instead of living in your main code-base.

Do you really think that Google should not be blamed that in cutting costs they don't want to provide same benefits for people they lease?

If they had a will, they could easily force their vendors to provide same level of benefits.

This is happening exactly to cut costs, to keep reported headcount low. There will be no news if Google cut 50000 of such contractors, simply because they are not counted, not treated like a people. Just a resource, leased from another company.
I counted 14 almonds in the video. It said there were 15 grams of protein in the almonds. Almonds have about a quarter gram of protein each.

Also, you can't view the total eclipse in either locations it stated.
No, that's a rationalization. It is because psychopaths are running the place. I have never heard of an employer paying benefit tax on pizzas, and if they did, surely they can bill the consulting firm in some circle if that is the case.
I'm curious about how compensation works for such internal M&A teams.

Definitely I don't have any real insight into IBanking but as I understand there's usually IBanking M&A division whose activity (and corresponding compensation) generally revolves around two activities - generating pitch books to generate transactions and then generating transactions. I imagine for IBankers there's only incentives to generate transactions regardless of whether they are good or bad for the two parties actually involved in the M&A transaction. I'm not aware there's any activity/compensation tied to the long term (i.e. 10 year ROI) success of deals.

It'd be smart if internal M&A divisions were held to higher standards - not only being measured on number of pitch books generated and transactions closed but also additional OKRs/compensation regarding the long term success of previous transactions for the company.
Most people who go through school don't learn to become competent writers. This is shows that school does not teach people to be competent writers.

So competent writers generally did not learn that skill in school. At best they learned some foundational skills. But the competent writers that I've known, often think that there were betters ways in which they could have learned those skills.

I have sometimes been accused of writing competently. And so it should be no surprise that I agree with them. School was a terrible way for me to learn. And I credit most of my skills to things that I did outside of school.

This goes doubly for homework assignments. As https://www.alfiekohn.org/homework-myth/ explains, research shows that homework is useless overall. It can help, or it can hurt. And on average it balances out to no net benefit.

I have ADHD. This reduces the odds that homework helps and increases the odds that it hurts. Growing up, homework was a constant burden on my life. I would have been far better off if I'd been given less homework. Particularly homework which looks like a practice drill.
Also, Torx takes the guesswork out of determining which bit to use. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Phillips can be a pain in the ass to figure out which bit to use.

I am with you on the loot boxes, not sure I agree on the rest. City skylines as an enormous modding community, on steam, for example.

I am OK with the 30%, because it's not a monopoly. You can use any other store, "sideload", whatever, without restrictions. I think, but I am not sure, that you could actually offer your game cheaper on other channels in parallel. But because people like the convenience of steam (which is probably one if not the best implementation of a software store) that many would pay the premium to have the game on steam.
Is the author stepping up to take over X.org?

X.org is a small step away from abandonware.
Yeah, I really question whether this story is actually any kind of news or just in the headlines because there's a robot involved, where in reality it's the equivalent of "guy sticks hand in wood chipper, loses hand." Sad, obviously, but not really fundamentally different from any of the other injuries that happen when working with heavy equipment.
Makes you wonder if that wasn't the plan all along. The original company has a lot of investors who would share a big percentage of the profits if it is successful. Those in charge fix things so that those investors are shed and all the profits are instead funneled to entities they control exclusively.
