So they can try to be prepared for when such a mutation does arise in the wild? I agree it's incredibly risky, but...?
The feature has been there since then. It's completely irrelevant who used it. It was also in Windows 7. Windows 8. Widows 10 and Windows 11.
I hate waiting in lines almost more than any other "chore" in life. I'd honestly rather file a tax return. I find that in my city self-checkouts tend to move much faster. There is often a machine available already, so no wait at all, and if not the waits are much shorter. So for this reason, self-checkouts have been a wild success for me.

What bothers me about a lot of self-checkout machines are the annoying attempts to "up-sell" me on stuff; in quotes because these hoops that you need to jump through before paying are not always trying to literally sell you something. No, I don't want to scan a loyalty points card. No, I don't want to donate to your charity. No, I don't want an email receipt just print it please. And I don't care about whatever announcement you want to shove in my face before I can pay. Just let me pay and be on my way already FFS.
And yet here we are talking about here, and for days (weeks?) it was the only thing on the news. It was even on SNL which unsurprisingly tried to make Stefanik look like the but of the joke.

My point is you seem to be pretending that this hasn't been the focal point of news for a while, when in fact it has.
I disagree. The majority of the problems that I run into with self-checkout are related to not being able to buy items I picked up off the shelf like Mucinex or children's cough syrup or alcohol without getting an employee to check me out... at self checkout.

What's the point of "self" checkout if somebody is required—not by failure of the system but by rules—to come help me several times during the process?

Edit: at least with alcohol I know it’s coming. But it feels like every time I try to use self-checkout I’m foiled by surprise rules about particular items.
Not all charities have the problem. Size compared to donation size matters. Charities that don't do things for donars probably don't have a problem.
I did mention in my original comment that the free version of Resolve refused to import my 10-bit video clips. I was fine with exporting 8-bit.
I just drove the Tesla Model Y around where this past weekend it was -10F. Range was probably 15% lower overall (lots of heating / heated seats etc) and we were cautious to make sure we stayed charged up (huge traffic delays due to the storm meant you could be stuck in your car for 6-10 hours). Overall everything worked out, I did have battery anxiety but there were also gas cars which had anxiety.
Glad you are onboard :), we do have email based support and discord support. Ping us anytime you run into an issue.
It considers the bus's movement, orientation and the changes in time.
The machines at one supermarket chains in Denmark are exactly the same as at Sainsbury's, even with the same woman's voice if you set it to English on the starting screen.

However, they are much less annoying here. I assume it's all just parameters that are tuned to local requirements.

To clarify, I was more responding from the perspective of the workplace rather than the Rust project. That said, I have been an open source contributor off and on since 2003 and my observation has been the situation isn’t much different.

In a project, rather than apathetic coworkers, you deal with users of the project that have complaints and expectations but without the ability or motivation to contribute themselves. I imagine Rust has slightly less of this than the consumer-focused projects I have worked on, but people are people at the end of the day. Contributing to any large project is largely thankless because there will always be one more complaint/demand issue, or one more PR from someone that didn’t read the contribution guidelines.

It can turn what you’re passionate about into a slog, and while the form may differ, it’s not meaningfully different from having apathetic or incompetent coworkers dragging you down.

To be honest, dealing with open source slog is slightly worse, because it takes much longer for the hope to die. Somebody that submits a bad PR seems to care somewhat, it’s not total apathy. Somebody that submits a whiny issue at least demonstrates that they used the project and cared enough to write. But both demand your attention without demonstrating competent contribution in and of themselves. It’s somehow worse than the coworkers that are on an in-office vacation.
Speaking of boring, my entire life runs on Apple Notes. Everything to-dos, from family, kids, work, car, etc. I am just not sure how to migrate all of my 2,000 plus notes on to a new system. Plus with limited mobile data signal, I’m not sure if apps like Obsidian will work.
At BJs (smaller version of Costco), they have self checkout almost exclusively. They also have a constant deal of "mix and match" 2 types of potato chips. The problem is that their system is not setup to ring those up correctly, so when you scan one bag it immediately stops and lights up the "need help" light. Then you need to wait until the attendant comes by and clears it up. After about the 3rd time you realize that they just scan a code that's taped to the register so you quickly start doing that yourself. This product also prevents you from using the app to do the "scan and pay in the app and skip the checkout".

This is obviously something that should be fixed in the system, but it's nothing that the consumer can do anything about.
I don’t understand why you’re acting purposely obtuse here.

They have a multi billion dollar incentive here along with a long history of actions all clearly focused on protecting that revenue stream at the expense of the web platform.

I’m making an argument that like any other application delivery platform I should have a clear and standard way for my users to install my software.

The reason we don’t currently have that is largely tied up in Apple yet again with the exact same incentive structure as every other time they pulled shit like this.
I'm not talking about implementations that produce a 'successful' null pointer. I'd consider that a quality-of-implementation issue, in that implementations are responsible for returning non-null on 0-size success in the same way they're responsible for not just stubbing out every single malloc() call, so just assuming that a null output indicates failure is appropriate. (Implementations transitioned ages ago toward returning non-null for 0-size requests for good reason!)

Instead, the problem is about a realloc(ptr, size) that returns null to indicate failure. If size > 0, then the data behind ptr remains unmodified and can be later freed. But if size == 0 (and the 0-size allocation fails), then the data behind ptr is unconditionally freed according to many implementations.

This makes it unsafe to access the data behind ptr after a realloc() failure, unless you've checked that size > 0. But I argue that by making the whole thing UB instead of leaving it sufficiently unspecified, the xrealloc(ptr, size) use case that doesn't care about the leak on failure is made more complicated unnecessarily.
I feel like this is the most obvious answer
and most in line with everyday experience.

I've interacted with some incels online and their intricate rationalizations are just wild, about how only the top N% of men (in terms of looks and/or sexual prowess and/or money) are monopolizing all the women.

And I'm just like....

Forget all of that. Just step outside and go literally anywhere where families or couples go. Look around. Look at all these men who have partners! Most of these men are not exactly models and/or dripping with cash! Clearly it is possible. (I am one of these people...)

But you can't reason with incels, obviously. It's like trying to reason with somebody who has an eating disorder and thinks they're fat even though they're dangerously underweight. They are in a dark, damaged place and pointing to objective facts is not going to lead them out of that place.

The problem *is not the organization/categorization*. Any larger project is completely unsustainable if it is a disorganized chaos, with issues falling through the cracks because they can't be kept track of as the scope and team grows. These tools are a great help there.

The problem is this tooling is used for the wrong job.

If the only "discussion" about an issue is the bug report/pull request, that's wrong. That should be only the first/last step. Unfortunately, for many projects there is no other communication channel anymore.

So then people use what exists and is available - PRs and issues on Github. Which are both very poorly adapted to any sort of discussion. But if all you have is a hammer ...

It used to be that the first things a new project got set up was a mailing list, then maybe an IRC channel, perhaps a shared code repository (likely CVS or Subversion) and only then an issue/bug tracker (usually Bugzilla, Track) when the project grew large enough to need it. In that order.

This culture of project community discussion has been largely lost with the younger generation of contributors that don't use e-mail and many don't even have an e-mail account (or don't use it except for signing up for services). Mailing lists have been seen as "old school" and poor UX, so have been largely replaced first by silos in the form of web forums and then later by Discord, Reddit, etc.

All that makes it great and easy for anyone to come in and post something there (the signal to noise ratio is usually not great) - and absolutely terrible to find anything, to actually coordinate work of a distributed team or to track multiple busy projects. E-mail comes to you and can be automated - forums, Reddit, Discord, etc. you have to actively seek out, follow and manage. Poor project maintainer having to deal with that ...

There are good reasons why projects like Linux kernel still use mailing lists for coordination or even sending patches (!), despite the huge size of the project - it simply makes the life of the maintainers (i.e. the people doing most of the actual work!) easier.

If I'm hiring a stranger for my company it's nice to have an esteemed institution willing to officially vouch for them having some baseline of knowledge in the field.
Specialise I guess. I've done a bit of everything but once I get to a certain level of competency I start losing interest, I don't dump it entirely but something else catches my eye. I've always been jealous of folk that get into something straight from school and become a master of that craft over the next 50 years. Finding work and my place in the world has always been part of my life and to have that solved I feel would be a lot off my mind and simply a case of me telling myself to stick with what I'm doing. The world is just such an interesting place!

The deal breaker with obsidian for me is that it is not opensource. It's great that it's at least using a markdown derivative format.

I am using Emacs Org Mode and quite happy with it. You can link different files, include images, embed and view LaTeX, encrypt your notes with GPG and much more. I think it will stand the test of time better than Obsidian which is something I care a lot for note taking and journaling.
I really think you misunderstood what he wrote

> ...he seems to wave his hands and say it should be taught, but that's exactly what happened to him, that is traditional university

That's not true; he did experience the traditional university, but that's really not what he said how it should be taught

> I'm not exactly sure how you'd learn it otherwise.

By teaching differently (what he calls systematic debugging): figure out why students fail to grasp a concept, and fill in whatever gap of knowledge is causing it. Teach how to self-perform this process.
Instead of throwing in the towel and say they won't hack their way through the rest of the course i.e. the traditional university way.
That's true and is not something most people are happy with. This model is being pushed on us by billionaires.
rust definitely skews younger than average. i don't have statistics on hand, but almost all people i know working on the project are younger than 35, and a surprising number are 17-25
Not to trot out the ol' meme: "Just as AI/ML", but why don't they add a camera that can guess what is your fruit/veg, or at least suggest 2-3 items that look close? That would solve a lot.

In Hongkong, most major supermarkets have self-checkout sections now. Usually, there is a single person standing by to fix any issues. I am sure the labour cost for checkout is much lower in those areas.

In Tokyo, Japan, most convenience stores have at least one self-checkout register. (Can anyone comment about combini other regions of the country? And, Aeon: Do they have self-checkout yet?) The interface in each chain takes some getting used to (so many steps!), but then you get the hang of it. Unsurprisingly, many natives continue to queue for service, even if it takes longer than self-checkout.

Can anyone comment on the situation in Singapore, another highly developed, but very low crime location?

I’m assuming this is taking that into account. Otherwise why would it compute a route?
Indeed - the irony was not lost on me of someone from Amazon complaining about Apple's anti-competitive behaviour. The difference is that what Amazon does is not limited to the book publishing space and a particular device. Amazon forces ALL of their sellers to normalize prices for all customers an all platforms.
They are not sports teams.

We should be rooting for better outcomes for consumers. Not picking between which megacorp is less bad.
I definitely do not hold that belief, and you are saying that about the only company that values and pays artists decently among the FAAMG
The biggest design flaw I've noticed has no technology whatsoever: the shelf where you set the basket isn't long enough to accommodate the whole basket! So you can set the basket down, and if you take away a heavy item on the "load bearing" side, your basket will fall down! I can't..even..comprehend how stupid this design is.
Can someone create a fact-check-ai bot that will literally follow everything any politicians say for factual claims as well as accountability and followup.

One of the things I am keen to find out, is for all the bills that are passed, which congress-folk and their families are clearly benefiting from investing oin the inside information they are privy to.

For example, Pelosi was voting on some bill that was affecting (i think it was boeing) (Pre-door-Plug-Gate) and her husband/son made a bunch of money off investing just prior to the bill being signed.

I am to make something that watches all of congress with the same fervor that Elon's flights are tracked :-)
I'm not sure I fully understand the composable part. To me this seems like server-side rendered HTML on the one end (which indeed makes it easier to debug), and a react version on the other end. React would instead of passing the object directly to the renderer (as one can do when doing it all in one process), have some fetching mechanism.

In terms of composability, react seems more composable to me. I can delegate the distributed and state aspect to something like redux / redux query, and fully concentrate on the composable component system. The added benefit is of course to separate backend and frontend concerns, which might or might not be to your like or useful within a certain project's scope.
That’s very interesting but we aren’t designing the web around your personal set of preferences so I don’t know if it’s particularly relevant to the conversation.

I’m sure when it arrives like other APIs that require certain permissions you will be able to disable it and live in peace.
You could probably make it in a few minutes - the direction of the sun is, to a first approximation, 15 degrees times the number of hours it is after midnight. This leads to a trick for using an analog watch as a compass:

This is more prone to errors closer to the equator and in the summer (https://possiblywrong.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/using-a-watch...) but should be good enough for picking a side of the bus.

(This is all in the northern hemisphere; in the southern hemisphere the sun goes the other way, so change the sign on everything.)
Oh, hey! Thanks for chiming in. It's rare to see rejection of grammar rules on longer forms of writing, so it looked interesting.

Any special reasons? Just because I like to know people through their choices and views. Didn't want to sound rude in the previous comment, so if I did, genuinely sorry (non-native speaker woes).
What's incredible is the idea that an argument or a point of view is somehow invalidated purely because it happens to side with the trillion dollar company. This is in the same vein as "this cause is supported by teh evil Amerika, hence it must be evil" line of thinking, typically espoused by self-declared anti-imperialists (who are often mere anti-US-imperialists).

>make a few people who already have everything even richer.

I do wonder what percentage of Apple stock is owned by pension funds and the like, i.e. The Regular Person, once you unwind the levels of indirection (mutual funds, index funds, ETFs, etc). It is surely a double digit percentage, but high, low? No idea.
The fact that you are in pain every day is obviously a tragedy, and I hope your situation improves. Mocking your peers for taking care of themselves is still not acceptable, and does nothing to improve the situation for anyone.

I accept that this is a spectrum, and that some level of discomfort in life is unavoidable—people stay up late and skip exercise from time to time. The unpleasant consequences of these actions doesn't justify not contributing to society, and there are no doubt freeloaders in any reasonably sized company.

However, no workplace, including yours, should expect their employees to sacrifice their health.
> The Justice Department argued that smaller, low-cost airlines like Spirit helped reduce fares and that allowing the company to be acquired by JetBlue, which tends to charge higher prices than Spirit, would have hurt consumers.

In the new era, practices, perceptions and mission statements have to also be up to a standard, not just statistics. I wonder how long this could go on for.
I don't think my heart can do this again.
This is what I really need! My eyes are very sensitive to sunlight. Good stuff.
The big win for Obsidian here is that everything is just saved as markdown, so you're not locked in even with their license.
I have never flown Spirit due to being 6'5". 30 in seat pitch is anatomically the limit, and that hurts. JetBlue having 33 in makes it a good choice for me.
KDE actually has a lot of software on Windows (and is about to even put them on the MS/Windows store, if it hasn't already), in particular when it comes to content creation and document stuff - Krita, Okular, Kate, to name a few. And Kdenlive, of course.
i left two jobs that didn't work out. the problem is that the first one of those failed because i was working all alone, no team, and an overworked supervisor, and at the time i didn't know how to compensate for that (i didn't even know that it needed compensating).

it took me years to understand that i am driven by human interaction. what i am struggling now is how to translate that into advice. i mean yes, i should have looked for jobs that do pair programming. but every personality is different. how would a 25 year old know if that advice applies.

the best i can come up with is to try a few different jobs and pay attention what it is that that is fun.

but even there you can mislead yourself. i did a programming internship while studying and figured that i hated 9-5 office work. then i did foss development with roxen and pike and i absolutely loved it. but i thought it was the programming language, when in truth it probably was that i was working closely with the people that used the website i built. so i stumbled from one experience to the next without really understanding what made work fun.

i can work on side projects all alone for months at a time because i was solving problems for myself. or i can do the utmost boring work with a hands-on client. we worked together for 10 years. the most wonderful person i have ever worked with. working together made the dullest task enjoyable.

i suppose the common element is that there was a need that had to be filled. in one case it was my own, in another it was someone elses.

but how does that translate into actionable advice?
iOS has "app clips" which websites can (and absolutely do) prompt you to use.

As for how to save a webpage to your Home Screen, that literally hasn't changed except maybe to have it together with other on-device interactions. It has been there since before there was even an App Store.
It's not hidden in any way and never has been.
It was demoed on stage by Steve Jobs.

The App Store is a scam, for sure. But Apple has not been crippling the web... at least not in the way you claim here (only one browser on the platform is sucky, but that's a different discussion).
90% of the complaints appear to be from folks who have no ability to charge at home. I would agree with the sentiment that if you have to drive any significant distance daily, and live in an apartment where you can’t charge at home, having an EV is going to be a giant pain and it might be a little too soon to go that route. I’d imagine we’re still several years away from having robust enough charging infrastructure assuming the build outs continue to get government support.
It comes across as saying "fuck you" to your readers.
The notion that the military is subordinate to The Will of The People is interesting, or maybe I misinterpreted you.
Debugging is a computer science fundamental in the same way that grinding lenses is an astronomy fundamental: it's really not.

I did learn debugging in school. I came to learn Computer Science and a left with a head full of Software Engineering instead. I wonder if I find one of these schools which doesn't teach debugging if they'll actually teach me some Computer Science.
The only place where they provide specific examples of how things are "largely sorted" is Norway and they themselves admit:
