Hi! I worked on this at Next.

Unfortunately, it's on the editor to support mixing fonts. There's never been multiple compatible monospaced fonts before so no editors really support this yet. Lots of editors also don't support variable typefaces properly yet (ahem, VS Code) but this is going to change.

Ultimately what you're describing is the future! But we have to release the typefaces to bootstrap that future.

We made a prototype extension that hack it into VS Code. But they're hacky af and not really releasable.
"is supposed to" explicitly expresses an aspirational/normative statement. You are confirming and restating what parent said.

> but it is an indisputable fact that somewhere else, someone's raising not just one child, but many, on income you'd call pocket change.

This is true, but there's also been 50 years of not progress, but a concentrated effort to turn us all into hyper-consumerists.

Media, government, corporations, have prioritized growth for decades. Predictably we now have a population that cares more about buying disposable trinkets than having a family. Ironically, declining population is now hurting economic growth.
I wish articles like this would clearly indicate what country's laws they are referring to. This article appears to only be directly relevant to the United States.
I agree. This looks like a gadget, which means I probably won't rush to buy one, but I'm glad people are trying to push the envelope.
As someone who doesn't know much about this stuff and isn't looking for a project, that list is a bit nuts.

I wish they would summarize with some recommendations. Maybe a $500 recommendation, $1000 recommendation, $1500 recommendation, and the best overall.
Dropbox is also closable. Sometimes you might want to stop syncing for a while. Maybe you just copied a few gigabytes inside and you're not on the right network to let it upload.

Worse still, I have a BYoD laptop that I own myself but use for work. If you accidentally click the wrong (BIG!) button instead of the correct (tiny!) link during authentication then... SURPRISE... you are now enrolled into mobile device management (InTune). One of the most common policies is to force home directory migration to OneDrive.

Imagine my surprise when I get an automated email from a customer Microsoft 365 tenant saying that I had shared content that violates their corporate policy.

No I hadn't.

Microsoft did. They hoovered up my content, shoved it into the customer's OneDrive, and then applied data loss prevention (DLP) policy. You know... to stop people sharing things through OneDrive they shouldn't be.

It's just unfathomable to me that we've all just rolled over and accepted this as normal. Literal dark patterns by every definition of the term designed to coerce and trick everyone in the world to store their data in Microsoft's cloud whether they choose to or not.

Secrets. Passwords. Source code. Classified documents. Private pictures of my family. Pictures of my naked children.

Sluuuuurp!

Got to meet those KPIs at any cost.

If anyone from Microsoft is lurking in this thread: THIS is how megacorporations end. This. You take a giant shit on your evangelists, your technical experts, then they'll jump ship. The other 99% of users don't matter. They really don't. They'll follow where the 1% go. This has played out over and over. It destroyed Digg. It destroyed Slashdot. It destroyed IBM. It will destroy Microsoft in time.

PS: Because of this incident I now refuse to store anything in any of the pre-defined folders like "Documents" or "Pictures". I keep everything in a separate folder hierarchy outside of my user profile because I can no longer trust my own personal computer to keep files where I put them.
Interesting! I wonder if that treaty is somehow reciprocal?
Yeah, I think often the Netherlands makes more sense if you just think of the Randstad -or even the entirety of the Netherlands- as a big city. Population-wise, that's not a crazy idea either. Then obviously it will be denser than an entire country like Spain, while it can still be less dense than actual cities within Spain.
its a PR piece IMO. The google way is terrible for producing products people want, which is why they always have to purchase their way into new products.
People here spent a lot of time (and money) in school learning to do things that can now be automated. The whining is just beginning.
I don't understand the concern. If a company has a choice of hiring more people with more elasticity, or not hire as much or at all, is that somehow a terrible thing to do?

Half of the things that feel like Google wanted to eject them was to satisfy IRS (e.g. paid rides on GBus), not because Google voluntarily wanted to treat them as such.

FWIW, most red badgers I knew were of non-engineering job functions and for them working at Google offices was a huge plus compared to their best alternative, not by a little margin, but a lot.

If I were to speak from the woke mentality, the author of the blog, who got sweet money through acquihire of a product no one ever heard of and probably never passed Google interview bar would be the bourgeois class at Google and every regular-E-badger with a PhD who works on ads for next to nothing, comparatively, to pay him is a third-class nobody. Gimmie. A. Break.
I'm pretty sure that code which lands in C:\Crapware actually would not be affected by the above issue.

Blizzard had the worst luck. Their loot boxes were fair and most reasonable, but because they also looked so visually appealing, they were used in the thumbnail and header of every major article describing the horrors of loot boxes in general.
> How will you tell AI what you want to build?

If software engineers have been replaced, it won't be any of us telling the AI anything, it would be a manager. Ask a manager about Kafka, I recon more would respond with something about Franz than anything about Apache.

> And if you tell it at a higher level than this, how will it know what tools it has available? How will it deploy stuff?

Step 1. Ask it to come up with a plan, after giving it read access to your corporate documents.

Step 2. Ask it to execute the plan it came up with in step 1, after giving it write access.

Of course right now there's a step 3: "Get real engineer to read and then perform business continuity/disaster recovery plan because current AI is about as good at this as someone fresh out of university, what on earth were you thinking, …" etc.

I don't know how long we've got in these jobs, but based on the rate of change (and the training cost for the larger models and supply shortage for the chips used to train the better models) I'm thinking at least 2 and no more than 15 years — though I'm hoping more towards the latter.
I live in Illinois, and we have the exact same GE design that was used in Fukushima on the banks of the Mississippi.

Anything that we build in the future must be walk-away safe, a Gen4 reactor or better. There can't be any question of exploding cooling ponds or other surprises with (design) flaws in safety systems. This obviously rules out diesel generators in the basement.

Over the years, there have been nagging stories of drones that overfly reactors. We have no idea who is collecting this data or what they want with it. We have to reach much higher safety standards than the elderly fleet of reactors that remains with us.

That's the same for doctors. My wife and I moved to a state without reciprocity. One of the local requirements was to have passed the board qualification exams -- the ones you take as a med school senior as part of applying to residencies -- within the last 10 years. Doesn't matter if you've been practicing for 25 years, or even teaching in a med school: you're taking the test again. My wife's the genius of our family and passed it the first time through. I'm glad I work in an industry where I don't have to ever take and pass my college exams again.

Sentry vuln allows sending arbitrary requests and responses from Next.js server
> Nobody is forced. [...] You can choose not to support Wayland in your app if you want. As market-share grows, your available reach will shrink.

What is the point of claiming "no one is forcing you to choose X" while at the same claiming "but if you choose Y you will face the consequences"? In this case the consequence is a million frustrated users not being able to say, take a screenshot, spamming my inbox like crazy, me abandoning Linux desktop development and everyone getting frustrated at the state of the Linux desktop yet again.

> There's good reasons Wayland is being adopted in major distros - and it's not "the shiny" like you asserted.

Even in your own messages you are throwing the argument that "at least Wayland is maintained and Xorg isn't", which is basically another way of saying that it has developer interest, and my claim is that it has developer interest because it's new.

> Your game won't even exist in 20 years

The software I am talking about is actually already older than that.

> Nor do you have to even care about what protocol/compositor/lib is being used unless you're doing something strange

As mentioned in TFA, there are several extremely common usecases which are broken by these changes. Certainly Wayland is just part of the problem, as it is pervasive to this world.

Hello Mr. Roberts. Thanks for taking questions.

I am currently on F-1 visa with about 1 year of STEM OPT left. I am looking into applying to Startups and only join if they are open to start EB-2 process right away. Is this something the startups will entertain or accept?
I'm blocked, but for a different reason. Every click, their SPA javascript decides i'm not connected to the internet.
How much of the speedup comes from more efficient memory usage vs faster memory access times and faster CPU?

I wouldn't expect lightweight office use to be primarily limited by the amount of memory available so perhaps that isn't a fair comparison still.

It can be anything, a scientific discovery, a psychological one or even just a misuse of a current thing.

"...a voice interface in public is a complete non-starter."

As I sit in a crowded coffee shop at a shared table, with three people who are on meetings and talking away about sensitive things. Right next to one another! Along the wall there are two people chatting on their phones to family, one of them on speaker.

People don't care, they don't have manners.
Agreed. Blue lagoon has public pool vibes for sure. I still think its worth doing if you have the time, but if you're choosing between that and (probably) any other hot spring/bath house experience I'd advise doing something else.
You don't think the millions of hours of widely available online porno has any impact on our culture or how people view sex? It's incredibly ignorant to think that "evangelical Christians" are the only ones opposed to porn

Wouldn't that depend on when YouTube starts the "three video" counter? A blanket ban on ad blockers may not violate the law, but their implementation may.
Wordpress can be quite close to the aesthetic of tumblr. One blog post per event, with pictures and text in whatever form you want.

My experience is the same. I replaced Pop with Arch running a pretty low-resource desktop setup (i3 and generally lightweight programs) and I can get roughly 10 hours with very heavy usage: Firefox with a handful of windows/dozens and dozens of tabs open, Docker, Spotify, etc.

Not terribly impressive compared to something like the newer Apple silicon MacBooks but also not terribly offensive considering I don't often work far from an available power source for super long stretches.
It really is super clever! And the crazy part is that it's been possible for a super long time, just nobody thought of the technique. Mad props to Riley Cran and the entire crew at https://lettermatic.com for devising this technique as a part of this project.
Great website! It looks wonderful on my powerful new Mac.

Also, I like how the focus appears to be on how it will benefit the user, instead of focusing on tech specs.

Data privacy and personal security aside, I understand there will be a reciprocal action between lifestyle and technology. We might have to change our lifestyle to make room for and benefit from new technology tools, just as we have for smart phones.

If kids get interested in it, then it will have a chance. If it's cool and fun, then it has a chance. If it actually makes things easier and better, then it could take off.

But if it has that cringe factor like google glass had, then it will never get anywhere.

The possibilities are awesome, but something like this requires a reinforcing feedback loop on top of a network effect to become successful.

Can be a good starting point depending on what you're looking to do.

Ultimately peer recommendations are the best - if you know a lawyer ask them to recommend someone good or if you know an accountant ask them to recommend a good lawyer, etc.
maybe there are some best error practices out there, but people don't follow that. As an example, I just went to github.com, got the top-trending go project ("ko"], search for error and arrived at this line in [0]:

dtodf, err := os.Open(filepath.Join(filepath.Dir(file), "diffid-to-descriptor"))
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("opening diffid-to-descriptor: %w", err)
}

See how they forgot to put filename in the error message? if there is some sort of error with the file, you'll have to resort to strace to find out what the name is... Not to mention that this very function returns json parse errors without context, and the caller "getMeta" calls multiple functions and returns the errors without context as well...

best practices are nice, but fully automatic is even better. The minimum-effort path in Python produced vastly more useful traces than in Go, and unfortunately too many programmers go mininum-effort path.

I’m not sure why you consider this under bells and whistles? It’s a change to the most core part of the IDE, dealing with language processing and would likely solve many of the performance issues CLion has today
I read somewhere Youtube used to send a response like {..., ads: [1, 2, 3]}. uBlock would see this response and turn it into {..., ads: []} and load the page accordingly.

I guess now, Youtube expects a response back, and occasionally, the request/response is faked. So, when uBlock adjusts the request/response and says "This user watched the ads", Youtube knows the request/response was fake and there were no ads to begin with, notifying that user is using an adblocker.

In your opinion, are the mini pcs even worth considering? I kind of hesitate because I don't want another computer. I want a console experience that looks decent on a 55" tv (probably 1080p). The Steam Deck seems a little lo-res.
Yeah being an actual contractor/consultant should feel GOOD. You should not be married to a single company for too long. You should have a sense of freedom.

There should be a simple test that if a person is working at only one client for too long (3 mo?) then they are to be converted to an employee. There's no reason for these middleman employers to exist except to make people disposable to companies. If that's the case, then they should be cycled in and out with a higher frequency. Nobody should remain a "red badge" at Google for any significant length of time.

MindGeek should buy Tumblr and allow adult content again.

Tumblr's success was that it was an adult space that wasn't strictly pornography. It was a "cool sex" to PornHub's "hot sex".

A couple thoughts

> Part of that strategy is ... not including those that are becoming less pervasive, such as the headphone jack.

For a phone with a mission like the Fairphone, the headphone jack will not become less pervasive. An audio standard that has existed for over 100 years will not vanish in 5, especially not without a valid alternative. On the contrary, it's a must have feature to support their mission. So this whole line of reasoning is just wrong.

> To support maximum longevity and because of the IP rating, Fairphone 4 does not feature a headphone jack

If you look at other phones with a good IP rating, they can come with a headphone jack and be fine. The Sony Xperia line has some modern examples.

> Including the headphone jack would have made the phone longer and thicker.

Given how big the phone already is, and how small phones with the headphone jack are and have been, I do not believe this. I believe that it made their job easier and changing nothing else, it would have made the phone bigger. I refuse to believe there was no alternative method to fit it in.

To note there that other vendors made the same claim, sometimes specifically for phones where there then was empty space where the headphone jack would have been. So there is a history of lies in this area, which makes this claim not trustworthy, regardless the different source. Apple lied about this with the iPhone 7, the most prominent example.
I'm curious what people think of the "Mix & Match" examples.

Radon (the handwriting one) seems to complement the other fonts well because it's basically an italic. But all the others are so similar, with their identical metrics and whatnot, that the "authoritative docstrings" and "Copilot voice" examples are really hard to distinguish.
10+ years of experience. Job search was easy this time around. I marked myself as available to opportunities on LinkedIn and within two weeks my inbox was flooded with opportunities. Most of them were not what I was looking for at all, but a few of them were.

I probably applied to a total of 20 places outside of the companies that reached out to me. Most resulted in some form of auto rejection, but a few turned into recruiter calls or more.

The role I ended up taking at DoorDash was from a recruiter reaching out to me back in August.
I think there are a few missing steps there :-)
(Nango co-founder here) Great. The client is just a thin wrapper around our REST API, which can be called from any language. But we plan to release SDKs for all main languages this quarter (including Java). Happy to chat on the community!

As a backend dev, I probably know which teams are calling me but not necessarily why, and I rarely have occasion to try to read their code. I can’t call myself full stack because I haven’t seriously touched frontend for a while and it changes rapidly.
You’re inferring things I didn’t say. Google’s inaction on the invention and letting that entire team leave the company is proof they’re inept.
When a USA citizen meets abroad and wants to marry a non-USA citizen, with the intention of the non-USA citizen pursuing permanent residence in the USA, does it have any effect on the process which country they get married in?

I've heard this and similar concerns from employees of multinationals who meet someone while at an overseas branch. They want to do what they can to avoid snags.
One way to say "none of your business" is to abandon their OS. Did so at the beginning of the year and haven't looked back. (Linux Mint on workstation; Debian 12 on laptop; Proton via Steam for games) The more I hear about the direction Microsoft is headed with their desktop software, the more it feels like a good call.

I don't mind the earphones, but often headsets are entirely impractical. Most notably, in the case of any sort of weather, wind, etc. A phone can also get rained on, but its a bit easier to keep safe.

The other reason they are mostly impractical - keeping a charge. *wired* headsets were great in this regard, but then there's the wire, and now, there's the phone (that may not even support the wire?).
