>This doesn't dispute that there are people out there,

Yes there are people out there, but who are those people? One one side you have edgy 19 year olds who are "pro-hamas" who will probably never even see an AK-47 up close. On the other side you have Isreali ministers, with direct access to Bibi Netanyahu, who are calling to nuke gaza, a claim so violent and egregious, that the Russian government had to take the claim seriously.

It's very scary that the voices of the most violent nobodies on the largely pro-Palestinian, anti-genocide side get amplified, but literal members of the Isreali government calling for dropping nukes get swept under the rug. Being pro-hamas is in no way a mainstream position. To call "bullshit" so strongly when the other side is literally threatening to use nukes is insane.

Probably not? Who said it was or wasnt? Maybe if we had a list of facts about each country we could determine for ourselves, no?

I'm not sure I see the problem with EGS business model compared to Valve/Steam.

Epic Games isn't a public company either, it's controlled by Tim Sweeney with Tencent being a large (but not majority) owner.

To my knowledge, Epic Games hasn't done anything slimy actually. Fortnite is a great game, and free. Unreal is a solid engine. EGS gives away a ton of free games and is trying to break down the crazy margins/taxes of the main stores.

Maybe not as cool as advancing Linux gaming, but still seems cool to me.

I don't know anyone, including my 78yo father, who regretted switching to Linux (PopOS mostly) from Windows. Ironically, the hardest part was teaching my father to just use MS 365 instead of looking for the installed MS Word.

On the other hand, anyone I know still using Windows is using it for gaming. And that includes professional developers, hobbyists, and students.

Saying this as a long time (~10y) Windows developer. Switched to MacOS / Linux around 5 years ago, wife and family using Linux or iPad.

9293 also has a lot of implementation notes from the past.. many years of folks that have done this.

So yeah, 9293. Seems like a solid rec.
I installed Steam because Valve bought Counter-Strike and made Steam a requirement to update it or play it online. Since Counter-Strike was originally a free mod, Steam only allows me to access what it took from me in the first place.

It’s super popular to hate on the Epic Store for a bunch of reasons, but let me break from the crowd and give them some credit: directly due to Epic competing with Steam, Steam actually improved drastically over the last 5 years. For almost a decade before that Valve had been asleep with the monopoly, I’m personally grateful someone forced them to improve.

By "real" console you mean a locked-down device that can only run software approved by the manufacturer and restricts running arbitrary user code?

Why would anyone ever want that? If you buy a device, you are supposed to be able to do anything you want with it, including running emulators or whatever.

Thankfully, even when vendors want to prevent people from doing that, they often screw it up and leave exploits that allow people to regain control. Even funnier when they then try suing random people for that to compensate for their engineering skill issue/make an example etc.

Naturally. I didn't single out medieval era. And I didn't say that it was less or more dark than other historical eras, but if we compare it to what we have right now then you can't claim that it was a very enlightened age. To me the most important change over the time has been acceptance, development and distribution of science and civil rights. I personally see it more like a gradient, not an on/off switch, but the more we go back in time toward medieval era the less we have both of them.

I recall hearing that the wait time for green card approval depends on the home country of the applicant. There were a lot of applicants from India when I talked with people who were getting a green card. So the wait for an Indian applicant was much longer than, say, an applicant from Canada.

Not sure what the wait times are now, but I doubt the USA has caught up on the Indian wait list, esp. during/after the pandemic.

> What also got in the way were the people themselves - all the smart people who could argue against anything but not for something, all the leaders who lacked the courage to speak the uncomfortable truth, and all the people that were hired without a clear project to work on, but must still be retained through promotion-worthy made-up work.

This is golden. I've seen this pattern in a couple of places I've worked unfortunately. Mainly people who love to argue against, but not for something.

Each Monaspace font is designed to be seamlessly mixed and matched. Layer more meaning onto code, with a palette that goes beyond colors and bolder weights.

FTA. It means you can do things like have inline comments use Radon, docstrings use Xenon, code use Neon, and string literals use Krypton for more visual difference -- without the line heights and columns getting all weird because of it.

A lot of comments here seem to be speculating about DEI. I'm the last person who would ever defend a DEI push, but the requirements really don't seem to support this narrative.

> Candidates will spend 675 hours working under the supervision of an experienced attorney [...] submit at least eight examples of legal writing, take the lead in at least two initial client interviews or client counseling sessions, and head up two negotiations

> a Supervising Attorney [...] is an active member of the Oregon State Bar [...] has no record of public discipline in any jurisdiction to which they are or have been members [...] is employed by the same Employer as the Provisional Licensee

This looks, instead, like the standard apprenticeship model, and while I'd be slightly wary of the journeyman->master requirements, the apprentice->journeyman requirements seem pretty exhaustive and likely to produce results as good as or better than the bar exam. It takes less than 675 hours to study to pass the bar, but you were going to spend that amount of time informally apprenticed and do this much work anyway.

Meanwhile, the bar exam has got its problems, that make replacing it with a formal apprenticeship seem like a great idea. To quote a lawyer I know: "The bar exam does not teach useful or meaningful law. You don't learn <state> law on the <state> bar exam. You are tested about imaginary "common" law concepts that are often specifically replaced by statutes in a given state. If I tried to use the bar exam definition of burglary in <state>, that would be malpractice. In fact no jurisdiction uses the common law definition of burglary." Law is extremely state-by-state, and a theory-based test on an imaginary legal code, while productive, is likely to be a lot less productive than graded real legal work on the real legal code.

Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that no public traded company would ever do this, or spend this much resources in things such as repairability or Linux layer improvements.

It seems that misinformation when the crowd of low-life online celebrities who took the chance to relentlessly virtue signal "awareness of mental illness" around Robin William's death will never truly leave us.

He was depressed from being diagnosed with Parkinsons (ultimately diagnosed as Lewy body dementia) and feeling like he was already losing control of his mind while suffering severely with related complications for over the final year of his life, slowly escalating from signs he was actively seeking healthcare professionals to understand before he got a diagnosis.

Do you see a possible connection between feeling a loss of control with thoughts in your mind with a Parkinsons diagnosis and being depressed, or that he was depressed his entire life while holding an emotional front and the fatal diagnosis was just unrelated and no one could have seen it coming and that we need to be aware of the signs? It's so disrespectful to every party involved to chalk up what happened as something that couldn't have been noticed or prevented.
First, I’m really excited people are trying new things, but I won’t be buying this just based on the demo.

> The conversational interface has never worked before for many reasons, but that does not mean it cannot work in principle, …. I'm glad they're trying. Also, the laser display is neat!

So I did a lot of work over the years to research voice UI/UX and I’m very skeptical about this, even with the LLM stuff. I think an LLM was missing from the Siri/alexa era to transform it from “audio cli” to “chat interface” but there’s a few reasons besides that it didn’t catch on.

The information density and linearity of chat, voice especially, is a big problem.

When you look at a screen, your eyes can move in 2 dimensions. You can have sidebars, you can have text fields organized in paragraphs and buttons and bars etc. Not so with chatting - when you add linearity (you can only listen to or read one thing at a time, conversation can only present one list at a time) it becomes really slow to navigate any sort of decision or menu trees. Mobile-first have simplified this of course, but it’s not enough. Reading TTS becomes even slower to find the info you care about. It’s found a place for simple controls (smarthome, media, timers, etc) and simple information retrieval (weather, announce doorbell, read last text). Then there’s the obvious problem of talking out loud in public, false response recognition etc which are necessary evils of a voice UI.

I think the best hope for a voice device like this is to (as they’ve done) focus on simple experiences like “what’s I miss recently” and hope an AI can do a good enough job.

The laser display might help with presenting a full menu at once (media controls being an easy example), but it probably will end up being a pain to use (eg like a worse smartwatch).

Honestly though, my biggest hesitation (which could end up great) is the “pin” design. It’s novel, especially with the projector, but how heavy is it and how will that impact the comfort of my clothes? What about when wearing a jacket or scarf? Will this flop around while walking? Etc.

> there are no wake words, so it's not always listening [...] it doesn't do anything until you engage with it, and your engagement comes through your voice, touch, gesture, or laser ink display

I'm guessing they mean a combination, so you need to touch AND do something else. But taken literally the gesture option implies they're also always watching.

Unlike other professions, academics rarely face consequences for being wrong. A doctor who makes a bad diagnosis risks malpractice, a civil engineer risks their license, and so on.

Academics only really need to worry about the perception of their work by other academics, which isn't inherently tied to results (a notable exception is the hard sciences, which are conceptually much closer to industry).

Windows 11 Update 23H2 is stealing users' IMAP credentials
German IT magazine has uncovered that with Windows 11 Update 23H2 if you accept the "recommended" new version of Outlook the client may be uploading your secret IMAP credentials to the Microsoft cloud.

If you are trying to add a "local" IMAP/SMTP account, there is short notice that Outlook needs to "synchronize" your IMAP account with the Microsoft cloud.

It does NOT explain that what this actually means is that it will send all your credentials including your passwords in clear text to Microsoft.

Microsoft's support document to this also only mentions:

"Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers."

No word that it means that they are uploading your passwords.

This is evil. And at least in the EU, illegal.

I have not yet found any report on this in english-language IT media, and therefore have provided a Google Translate link to the report in German.
