>I thought Austria followed quite closely the law in Germany (at least for work councils)

Workers' councils work similar to Germany (I think) but those are established on a per company basis and also have powers limited by law.

I was talking about labor unions which negociate the yearly wage increases for the whole profession (Kollektivvertrag) which is also regulated by law in what they can and can't do in a strike.

Basically you're allowed to publicly strike, as in make your demands heard, but you aren't allowed to sabotage or negatively impact the business in order to have your demands met. Isn't that convenient? /s

>Now, IT would not really think about going on strike, they wild rather switch companies (in the current job market).

That only works when the merket is red hot, but not now, not here. The market is dead for everything excepting skilled seniors. You have to strike for the good of those who aren't senior enough to have leverage over their employer, like juniors and mids. Otherwise it's no surprise an IT worker here makes less money than a unionized tram driver.

I will sit down with XFCE and X11 until the sharp edges have been filed and I will switch when wayland is mature.

I'm really thankful for the people sacrificing their time to test all this stuff and experiencing the bugs. I, as much as I like the GNU/Linux desktop, have already suffered through enough system changes and now I need my computer to get actual work done.

I feel updates used to break thinks more often and now everything works mostly fine. I remember long ago the issues with Polkit/dbus policies, changes in xorg drivers, the introduction of pulseaudio and then pipewire, systemd, GRUB2, problems with removable drives (that are thankfully solved since long), etc.
Mid-50's here and really didn't like Lynch's version that much, but was quite underwhelmed with Part 1.

That said, I think you nailed the two movies in two sentences.

Of Lynch's version I often quip that it was both good and original - however the parts that were original were not good, and the parts that were good were not original. In short - I did not like the divergences from the source material that much. It did have a soul though.

Part 1 seemed to miss or give short-shrift to beats in the book that always stood out to me. Instead of really conveying the absolutely oppressive lack of moisture on the planet, there was what felt like an interminably long monologue about the palm trees. Mentats with inner eye-lids? Leaned into the mystical side too much for my taste. Yueh's betrayal seemed like a footnote. The end of the movie from when Paul and Jessica met the Freman felt rushed. More time spent on why Jamis was so pissed off, and reflecting on the fact that this was the first man Paul killed, and less on weird alternative time-line future WTF visions would have been time better spent. Sterile and lifeless.

Add to that, did anyone else not know that it was a part one and not a complete movie when they walked in? Definitely seemed like something that they went to lengths to conceal.

That said, I'll watch it again before watching part two, and then try and form an opinion of the complete movie and not just the first half.
Lynch's Dune is, I think, a significantly better movie than Villeneuve's

Yeah. Ultimately I think Villeneuve's movie commits the worst sin of all which is being kind of boring. (Though as a Dune "veteran" I realize my perspective is highly skewed!)

Lynch's movie is kind of a mess maybe, but there is a sense of wonder there that I just don't get from Villeneuve's beautiful-but-sterile version.

What do you mean there's no evidence? Consider e.g. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.2466/pr0.1995.76.1.4...:

> children's birth order and family size are consistently related to styles of parenting (i.e., levels of control and levels of warmth) which are known to influence achievement directly (Baumrind, 1767, 1971; Dornbusch, et al., 1987; Paulson, 1994; Steinberg, et al., 1789). For example, firstborn children have rated parents higher on behaviors such as parental control (Schaller, 1978) and parental strictness (Rule, 1991) than later-born children

The pop-science explanation may or may not be true, but the underlying fact that later children get a different parenting style has supporting evidence.

Brilliant project. I was looking for something like this for my projects - can’t wait to try it.
Can be argued either way. Perhaps it’s ok for some movies to be companions to pre-existing work, not to be experienced in isolation. In fact, this was the tradition in painting and sculpture for centuries. The viewer would know the backstory for that severed head, e.g., belonging to Goliath.

Not light rail, you want and automated metro. the difference is small - sometimes even the same trains are used on both. However the automated metro is cheaper to run (in the US operating costs are a big deal), and so you run it high frequency all day long. Metro systems also tend to run faster than light rail and people care about their time. This in turn means people will choose to take the train as they know it will be there when they want to go. Light rail makes people dream of having a car (possibly self driving) because the car is ready to go when they want to and is fast.

Of course in the US building the above is often not affordable. We need to fix that problem, the more we can afford to build the more we will build and the faster we get away from the car only mindset.

its not about "usability", in general, though. do you think reddit is truly usable?

as a content consumer I would love to be somewhere where there is engaging content and content discovery. I go to mastodon, my feed is empty and the search doesn't work. I bounce.

as a content publisher, I would go wherever the audience is. I go to mastodon, users have a hard time finding me, no one gets my stuff. I bounce.

now I (personally), as a consumer, hate the fact that I need to follow people at least on 3 platforms to get their content proper. as a publisher, I (again, personally) hate the fact that I am forced to at least partition the discussion on my content. but I'd tolerate these pain points for content / audience, because the main role of a social media is to give me content / audience. being nice and not having all these pain points is secondary.
The problem is that you spent so much time concentrating on the cryptic symbols, that you didn't pay attention to the handful of readable Latin letters in your code line.

To unorientalize the Japan thing here: there’s a national list of holidays. It is updated once a year. You put it in your code base. In the code base there’s a comment pointing to the page (hopefully one on a .go.jp page)

Your vendor says thing does not happen on holidays or weekends. There might be some other special day where things also do not happen. Keyword is “training day for staff”. Also end of year holidays. They will send you an email about it. Maybe 3. You read the email (important!), and put it in the vendor-specific list of holidays in your code (also important!)

And of course because you like your sanity you use whatever iCal date relativity respecting library to do logic like “the next Wednesday from today” or whatever.

Some things take 1 step. Some take 5. Being able to do something that takes 5 steps without writing a 3000 word screed about the world being broken is the sign of a successful person. Document it, do it, maybe improve it a bit, move on with life.

While it's a good point, I think the electricity/oil comparison breaks down slightly when you remember that, at best, you are probably selling a small minority of the total fuel. Most people charge most of the time at home and buy from their home electricity provider. This will continue to be true probably forever, with fast chargers only providing energy only longer road trips. I don't know what percentage of driving occurs on those kinds of trips, but my guess is "not very much".

Yes, you have the issue with many urban dwellers not having a garage/private parking space in which to install a home charger, but I think that cheap, ubiquitous, lvl 2 chargers are going to become more and more common in apartment parking complexes, office parking lots, parking structures, and more. And these much cheaper, slower chargers are always going to have more competition simply by virtue of not needing a large "network" and therfore having very low entry costs.

Tesla very well might come to completely dominate the lvl 3 fast charging space. But I think that that is always going to remain a pretty small part of EV fuel sales.
I'm guessing because tabs on top push the terminal down, moving all the text and maybe being distracting while reading since we are mostly reading from the top of the terminal buffer.
This is absolutely correct (curb-cut effect) but it’s also why employers will fight it.

The reason neurodiversity is such an issue for employers is that there’s no good way to measure people for talent (everyone needs to believe they are atypically talented in order to invent in the corporate “meritocracy,” even though it’s not a real one.) So instead they run on a system of blame and shared suffering, an attrition tournament that serves no purpose but is the best a company can come up with. Autistic people need exemption to thrive, but this is something everyone else wants—to be evaluated on merit rather than suffering—but that the firm, politically, will never be able to achieve.

Autism is an exaggerated version of the human experience. In many ways we are less robotic and more intensely human, with our hyper focus and extreme sensory experiences. Although we’re only about 5 percent of the population, there is a universality about us that makes us impossible for private sector firms to accommodate. If they treat us well, they have to treat everyone well, which is something executives will never stand for.
The UK gov is probably talking about using embeddings to respond to FOI requests.

1000000 documents -> 1000000000 embeddings
Citizen question -> GPT normalised question -> 'embeddings
match 'embeddings <-> embeddings
recover document fragments with matched embeddings
use GPT to create answer from document fragments

The question is how successfully this process creates the answers required. Who knows? But, I would not be surprised if it worked pretty well and it might boost productivity to the point where there's a massive saving to be had.

Maybe - but that's the fun!

QA often has night shifts, daily builds are tested at night and bugs are logged for the next morning.

The more people who switch to mass transit the more the experience of using mass transit becomes (better used systems tend to have money to build/run more transit). And eventually you reach a point where mass transit is strictly better than the car as well, though in the short term you make the car better.

can you point to something they could use but instead wrote their own for no good reason?
Genius idea, though I feel like you shouldn't have to do that in the first place. Like, I've been criticised by people for editing "their" code without talking to them first (in a shared project that we're all working on). My boss's ideal solution is for me to kowtow to their egos so he doesn't have to deal with it. No thank you. You go and tell them to stop being possessive of code that they don't own; they just happened to write. It's not my job to deal with their issues.

If we're going to visit the circles of hell, let's do it properly:

Step -1: Get it under source control and backed up.

Step -2: Find out if the source code corresponds to the executable. Which of the 7 variants of the source code (if any).

Step -3: Do dark rituals over a weekend with cdparanioa to scrape the source code from the bunch of scratched cd's found in someone's bottom drawer. Bonus point if said person died last week, and other eldritch horrors lurk in that bottom drawer. Build a VM clone of the one machine still capable of compiling it.

Not an expert in that field. I can speculate wildly that I'm not super optimistic. I can say I've seen the narrative around the field start to give way slightly - shifting from "genome is all you need" to "genome is not enough".

The problem is that many of the interesting or urgent pathologies have no obvious (or weak) associations. Or maybe the noise level is too high. So there's got to be a piece of the puzzle we're missing, or something is getting lost in the noise. Whether a neural network can pull something out of the noise remains to be seen, but if it can't, I'm not super optimistic about our chances. Overall I'd say trying to tackle the problem at the outcome level is probably more promising right now. Even if we can find good associations, we're still lacking therapies.

:) Funny rhetoric, but there's no fact or argument there.

The application of ridicule and dimissal to everything associated with progressivism is a common pattern these days. Effectively, it's reactionary; the reactionaries have done a great job at spreading their messaging and demonizing their perceived enemies, and at the same time making people argue for their own powerlessness.

Demonization, despair (powerlessness), and ridicule are tools for people whose agenda loses on the merits.

There is certainly a few hundered exploitable vectors in that program alone... to say nothing of the rest.

When in doubt, spin up a VM to run the random untrusted thing -- And then go read its mailing list/issue tracker for known VM escaping exploits. I have a machine setup to test malware, so I just hit my "airgap" switch to isolate the system from my network once the questionable code is in place and ready to run (potentially amok). Study-up about ARP-poison attacks, and remember ARP does not transit to upstream routers/switches (Y "combinate" your network for fun and profit).

Before you assume non malicious simple text output, consider "ANSI" escape code complexity as an intrusion vector for whatever terminal you run. I've got "0-days" for this going back to MSDOS: ANSI Bomb => arbitrary CMD entry. You don't have to take my word for it, your terminal of choice is most certainly vulnerable to some ANSI/escape code related exploit, look it up.

> I have been a web developer for 10 years, and I still feel out of depth about CSS.

What do you mean by this? I've been dealing with CSS for even more years than that and can't for the life of me remember if its align-items or justify-content cause I won't even try to.

As soon as I do flexbox I open https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

I've heard this about CSS so many times, but honestly, I find it kind of easy to do get the layout I want without too much effort most of the times, I just don't remember CSS in the same way I remember how to do JS.

I think I do not get the article point much... For me conversions can't work for two reasons:

- converting existing buildings is more expensive then create new residential areas from scratch, city density and original totally different design simply makes such conversions a crazy idea;

- even if some buildings get converted who might want to live in them? Before the masses have tasted and so learned the WFH model downtown was a place to be to have interesting jobs, now they start to be a place to stuff poor people in social housing setups. Let's say those who have no choice accept, what they do to live? There are not much factories of tertiary sector jobs in the modern city, only city-services related jobs, and there are more "service consumers" than "service operators", so there is a growing slice of people unable to find a job.
