It's really not an absurd claim.
when I buy a game, I should be able to play it across my platforms

Why?

Obviously it'd nice if you could, but there's no reason why a publisher should give up sales to people who buy a game multiple times just to make your life more convenient.
O'Reilly used to have a program in place where you could get the eBook copy of any of your physical books for a few dollars extra, even books published long before modern-eBook sales were thing.

I've seen some places that will bundle an eBook with a print copy at a discount.

More than a few books I've bought from Lulu.com had a note in the first few pages with a URL to download an eBook or PDF copy.

I've also emailed authors and asked them for an eBook copy of the book with proof of purchase.
For most people I can understand why this would be true, especially if you have a family. For me, however, it was the exact opposite. When I first went to college I was abysmal at it and soon dropped out. After a few years of work experience, however, I went back and finished my degree while working full-time. Despite having much more to juggle I did vastly better at college my second go-around. I think having better time-management skills, being emotionally more mature and intuitively knowing that I needed that degree in order to get a better job all worked "against" it being more of a struggle, in my opinion.
Whatever kids grow up into is not okay with most parents. I’d imagine almost everyone would agree with that statement. There are probably traits you wouldn’t want your children to have. You probably wouldn’t be okay with them being gambling or drug addicts, racist, murderers, uneducated, etc.

If parents were truly okay with their children growing up into whatever they happen to grow into, there would be no reason for the parents to impart morals, life lessons, education, proper nutrition, etc., to children. The fact that, for the entire existence of humankind (so far as I can tell), we seem to have done those things, it seems to me that all parents strongly care about what their children grow up to be like.

Why does the idea of a parent wanting to impart their vision of how the world ought to be offend you? If the shoe were on the other foot, and you wanted your children to be raised a particular way, would you appreciate being ridiculed for that?
Yeah, I know. I was thinking of linking to an image of Hacker's Keyboard and saying "with this layout," lol.

> Gamers will likely have 2TB in games alone

If I were to install all the games on my steam account it would be many hundreds of terabytes of total storage. In the end I have about a terabyte of games on my computer. And of that 0 bytes are in my cloud storage.

I've been an amateur photographer for over 15 years. I tend to curate the photos I keep, largely because I don't need 20+ pictures of the same scene. Its more of a burden to casually flip through my photos if the majority of them are near duplicates. In the end my total collection is only several hundred gigs.

Most people aren't videographers.

Most people in my family have far less than even 50 gigs of actual data they care about. They maybe take a dozen compressed photos a week, maybe 30 minutes of videos a month. A lot of my friends take even fewer photos and pictures.
This is nifty. Played for a bit. Can type 90-120 so was pretty easy for me. Haha nice work!
My parents forced me to take typing lessons on typewriters in the 90s and I am thankful they did, of course that had some technical limitations in regard to speed but it definitely made me a great blind typist which is the main foundation for typing fast in my opinion.

Some years later in school I also had a typing class at some point and the teachers thought I cheated because of my high scores so I had to take the test again with multiple teachers hovering over my shoulder – I scored slightly higher then.

I'm usually around 120wpm, which I know is not even a great score amongst typist but it's more than enough for me. I couldn't play the game due to an injury right now unfortunately, but I did click through it and agree with others that I prefer practising words or sentences - plus the letters appearing on different spots on the screen is annoying to me because that's not how I type, so I'm not sure if this is really great for typing practice (for me, at least) – but it could be good at becoming faster at blind typing maybe?
> It's the first time I've really ever seen such a vegetatively sparse landscape

The countryside of Iceland gave me the impression that instead of a "natural vegetated living world" there was two distinct things - an inorganic rock world, with a thin crust of life - lichen, moss and grass over it.

I mean, technically this is true everywhere; but in Iceland the vegetation was so thin and recent and patchy as to be noticeable in an unfamiliar way.

I roughly agree with all the recommendations in the abstract, but I think 5 should come with a warning. For all the spendthrifts out there who live paycheck to paycheck, there are savers who go to the other extreme, and that ascetic frugality is hard to grow out of even when it's no longer needed.

The best way around this I've found is to give to charity early in the year, and for whatever reason that somehow makes it easier to spend on myself.

If you mean the 12V battery, same as any other car.

If you mean using one Tesla to charge another when its main battery is empty, currently only the Cybertruck supports such power output.

https://www.tesla.com/powershare

Some services like AAA do provide roadside charging via generator or battery pack onboard their service vehicles.

Personally I haven't run out of charge in 4.5 years of driving an EV in all sorts of places. I never ran out of gas either.
I wonder if Elon is distracting people from the issue: can you go into an office, openly announce to everyone your boss is a terrible human being who should be denounced, and reasonably expect to keep your job?

Workers should have the right to improve their working conditions, but not to hate on coworkers. Be they bosses or subordinates.

Regardless, the unconstitutional part is this decision is like an illegally created new law - it essentially carries the weight of law, can only be appealed to the people who made the law, and was never debated or voted by democratically elected reps.

Heh, reminds me of Zork. Teaching at a bootcamp and they had to build that as a project. Text adventure game.
Tesla oversells and under delivers on many things. Range is one and the other big one is the autosteer, FSD etc. which has gotten worse not better with subsequent releases. Then there was the crazy claim from Musk that the cars would be appreciating assets because of the software. LOL.
Nobody forced them to work there.
It seems like there is a better argument. The 10th amendment basically says if it is not given to the federal government and not banned by the Constitution it is left to the states. Labor rules are not mentioned in the Constitution so a plain reading of the amendment and Constitution would mean labor rules are left to the states and the federal government has no authority in the matter.

Then again if such a thing is accurate then 3/4 of the federal government is unconstitutional.

This is awesome! About a year ago, I switched to a Moonlander keyboard. At that time, I figured why not try a different layout while I'm at it, how hard could it be? I compared a bunch of layouts and finally went with Colemak-DHm. I'm nowhere even close to my typing speed on a QWERTY layout, but absolutely loving it! This typing game will really help me get more comfortable with that new layout!

> What teams are using contract work for the same functions as fill time work?

Are you asking for the organizations, teams, projects, managers to be named? Depending on what you need, that's a lot of exposure and I'm not sure that'll assuage your concerns its "trust me bro". I have seen it in the ******** and ****** organizations.

> What specific work items are being done by both full time and contractors?

Software engineering and design. They're embedded in the teams, there was never a single difference between my TVC/non-TVC ex-coworkers other than their security badge color. They were not brought on for temporary or time-bounded projects.

Before you follow up: I appreciate your skepticism, but it's unclear if it's earnest or a lure. I don't have any legal protection from a trillion dollar company so I can't write a gossip-y essay naming names and giving you case studies, but I'm happy to answer any questions short of that. Like I said yesterday, it's very unclear what specifically what change your mind here

-- especially now that you're claiming "plenty [of Googlers] say it isn't true". There isn't a single comment on this entire article, and it tremendously beggars belief that any Googler would tell you it wasn't true. If I worked at McDonald's, its like a stranger yelling at me that I'm lying because other McDonald's employees said no one has to wear a nametag.

It might be the norm, but that doesn't mean it always works or is the right way to live. Some people have terrible parents or difficult children. You may think it's great, but I was raised in that environment and I did not like it. Ditto for community life that you allude to.

The bit that you don't mention is the pressure to conform or 'go along to get along' that environment breeds. Give me the anonymity and personal freedom in large city any day. Here's another saying: "Hell is other people."
"You don't have to hate living alone when you don't have to spend all day cooped up unless you want to drive 15 miles to participate in society. You can walk out your front door."

For some people, walking out their front door to be with nature might be their preference.

"The married (and obviously wealthy) couple can invite the neighbors over for a BBQ and to hang out by the pool. But you can't do that really in the suburbs."

I'm baffled by this statement. I don't have a pool and I'm not wealthy, but we still invite neighbors over for a cookout. This seems more normal in the suburbs that rurally or even in the city (although some places have block parties).

For the amount of power Congresspeople command, $174k is definitely meager pay.

That’s why the position tends to attract already wealthy people seeking prestige and power or normal individuals who use it as a stepping stone to million-dollar book deals or cushy jobs in the private sector.
Not really. Companies are owned by people, and if a federal agency can fine a company $10mm, they are taking that property from one or more people. It's still a direct financial taking from owners.
This is an unserious argument and no one is swayed by it.

When I tried using SwiftUI, the performance for scrolling through lists past a certain size was very painful. I guess there were ways to mitigate this slowness, but they were very unintuitive and did not give me confidence in the developers commitment to keeping apps snappy and responsive.

The APIs for NSTableView and NSCollectionView, in contrast, were always very responsive and performant when used in the default way.

All of this greatly reduced my trust in SwiftUI. Seems like they did not have performance in mind in the core design decisions of the framework, and only tested it on small data sizes.

Maybe things have improved since then.

Your analysis seems to be ignoring all of the work required to create and maintain the CentOS Stream / RHEL distribution in the first place, which is substantial.

Prior to CentOS Stream, if you were a CentOS user or maintainer who experienced a bug, your only option was to file a bug on the RHEL bug tracker and wait for a Red Hat employee to fix it for you. It was the Android-esque "throw the code over the wall" model of open source.

Post CentOS Stream, a CentOS user or maintainer files the bug in the CentOS Stream bug tracker, can write a patch and have it reviewed by other users/maintainers/Red Hat employees tracking the issue, and then benefit from Red Hat QA'ing the fix.

So counter to your claim, I would argue that the CentOS Stream model provides more bidirectional / mutual benefits.

> In fact, nothing changed on the vehicles themselves, except the way range is now calculated. Specifically, the EPA now mandates that all EV manufacturers test acceleration and ride height modes in both best and worst-case scenarios. This makes almost all EVs lose range and efficiency, although the changes were introduced to better reflect real-world range performance.

> The new system is applicable to vehicles testing for the 2024 model year and later.

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/tesla-my2024-updates-less...

This is a slight improvement but still EPA testing is both a poor match to actual road tripping (where people often care about EV range) and can be very inconsistent between vehicles due to the number of options automakers have in choosing which cycles they will test with and how they use those results. The EPA's standard "highway" driving cycle averages 48 mph.

Woah there. Congress does not have the right to delegate the authority given to them by the constitution. So it is indeed unconstitutional. A great many of the alphabet soup agencies are in this boat. Whole lot of unconstitutional behavior going around and nobody really bats an eye.

If you share RHEL sources with the original project communities, what happens?

I think it also reveals that those pressure methods for collectives have weakened over time - and that this can also be a big part of the "EU/US political divide" - a country where everyone is already "collectively well-behaved" will have few issues with the "beer and video games" type people; a country where that's much weaker will have fallen back to "work or starve" as a final collectivism push. If you apply policies from the first country to the second you can get vastly different results.

Those seem like very basic features that a UI framework needs to get right.
Paradox - Stellaris would be a good example of this.

However, this gets into a question of game economics and "how do we keep paying developers?"

The "buy, one and done, no patches ever, bye" model for game development gets "this game is abandoned" and the initial sales splurge doesn't always cover the cost of development. Thus you've got DLC. If there are servers to be hosted for multiplayer lobbies, that expense needs to be paid somewhere.

So a constant trickle of updates / fixes / DLC / changes keeps the player base interested, and can provide the revenue stream to maintain those updates, fixes and servers.

On the other hand, looking at Stellaris DLC (or Crusader Kings) and you go "I'm gonna pay how much for that game?" while players who started from the start see it more as a "pay $20 / year for something new added to the game".

The hash should have your license number, which is a hash of the version and date and platform that you paid for - your platform access should just be based on the parsing of the hash - whenever you join a session, it includes some version of this hash attesting to the original purchase/platform and stating the allowable platforms to run on - When joining/launching a game, the session hash is checked?

Sounds simple - but hard.

> There is not an easy, straight-forward way to download your archive from iCloud.

I use PhotoSync[0] to copy photos from my iPhone to a NAS. It's an excellent program.

It will even download photos from iCloud as needed and can do format conversions. I run it every few days to push new photos to my NAS so that I've always got a local copy (these also get backed up to Backblaze B2 nightly). The format conversion lets me keep HEIC+JPG pairs of my photos, so I have the original and something that's more readily usable.

What I really want is something that will do the same thing, but with iCloud Drive. I keep a bunch of stuff in there and it bothers me that I don't have a reasonable way to back it up. Apple's recommended methods[1] leave a lot to be desired.

You can't (unless there's a trick I don't know) change the width of the scrollbar when hovering over it. However... you can keep the width constant and have the apparent-width of the scroll thumb be determined by transparent borders.

This would give the appearance of your current 2px scrollbar, but it'd be usable, and would visually expand out to show its grabbable area on hover:

html::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 8px;
}
html::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background-color: transparent
}
html::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background: #d73f00;
background-clip: padding-box;
border-left: 6px solid transparent;
}
html::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
border: 0;
}

(The key to it is the background-clip property, that lets you use the border to control where the background is drawn.)

You could also do exactly-this but without the :hover state, and it'd effectively just increase the grabbable-area of the thumb without any visual change to your current style. I like changing the visible width as a form of feedback though. :D

IMO, you reach the wrong conclusion. It is: academic jobs are overpaid. There's really no point in giving the whole population an academic degree. University should raise researchers (applied or fundamental). Jobs that don't require academic research skills should not require academic credentials.
