Maybe someone can make a horrible start-up that does this as a service.

If a colleague new about it and reported it then that should lead to action 100% of the time. The question is if that happened or not.
I'm half joking here but at one of my past workplaces, the development process was something along: fix bug, get reviewed, pull request tested by QA, integrate, retest after integration, run in UAT and only then eventually deploy to production.

Anything coming up at any of these phases would throw it back to development ("fix bug" phase) so we were joking that if we get a P0 critical priority bug on Monday morning and aren't done fixing it by afternoon then there's no chance in hell it will make it to the deploy on Friday :)
Extending destination-passing style programming to arbitrary data types in Line
I have a super liberal (politically, not in the classical sense) sister as a professor at a small school (non Ivy League). She talks all the time about the hyper bloated administration that literally does nothing except make things less efficient and collect a paycheck. It would seem that whether you're on the political left OR right (or somewhere in the middle), that we can all agree that there is a ton of bloat in these institutions and that teaching and research has taken a backseat to sports, never ending growth of campus facilities, and milking students of every last dollar.

The problem with the DMA's "free of charge" language is that the DMA sits below the WIPO treaties [1] in terms of its legal authority.

> Under this treaty, authors are provided with the exclusive rights of distribution and rental and with a broader right of communication to the public of their works in the digital environment. Computer programs are protected as literary works and the arrangement or selection of data or other material in databases is also protected. Specific protection is also provided for technological measures and electronic rights management information used to identify and manage works.

The DMA's "free of charge" doesn't mean what everyone wants it to mean :-/

This article doesn’t come right out and say it but repeatedly suggests working on the weekend is the core problem.

The long and short of their solution:

> removed all non-essential cookies

It helps not to have built a business fully dependent on third party ads

Edit: related, perhaps also interesting to an international audience

Tweakers in the Netherlands recently announced a return of tracking cookies after switching to context-based advertising a few years ago. The reason given was that advertisers simply don't have tools to work with this, they'd need to implement custom software to both deploy banners to Tweakers specifically and then also to measure banners' effectiveness (like by appending ?utm_source=banner7271 to the URL). None of this is rocket science, but if you can publish on thousands of websites with one click and Tweakers requires talking to your software development team first... they were losing out. Ad-free subscriptions were and are available by the way, but people aren't buying them enough (not even the tenth part) to get rid of ads altogether. Github apparently does have that luxury
Both are unlikely but only one of the sides is arguing for limits/regulations of actually useful technology because they saw Terminator.

I couldn't agree more. Put in a ticket if you think there is a real problem that should be addressed but don't burn git history to fix indentation or something similarly minor. I have plenty of "rules" for my own code style but I don't touch code not within the scope of what I'm working on and I fit the style of the code I'm working in. I prefer camelCase but if the function has snake_case then I follow that style. And yes, turning off auto-formatting is a must in a legacy codebase that didn't have style guides/linters being used from the start.

It's way more important that I can see why a line was written, who wrote it, and when than spaces get turned into tabs.
Blue Origin's 2025 Lunar Landing Goal
Here is a different story from another perspective of a niche group of team. I led a few teams — small groups for each project. I realized that quite a few of the team have a strange habit of deploying around 5-6PM on Fridays! What I found out was interesting.

They were young, single, and don’t really seem to be those looking out to go to bars, etc. By deploying late, and staying over-time — the company’s rule of “company-sponsored-dinners” after office-time kicks in. They get free dinner, and air-conditioned room which are better than their homes or their room in their shared flats. They anyway ends up watching videos/movies, have dinner, and go back home late.

It is not uncommon, in India, to be in offices which are much better than their homes.

Very much so to all of this. When I started programming I was just messing around and doing so as more of a curiosity than anything. What I came up with on my own was much closer to FP. When I started to really learn and was presented with OO, it took me what felt like a really embarrassingly long time to under how classes worked and why I'd want them. Once I grokked it I had a grand ol' time, but then I learned a functional language and it felt so good to learn an actual well-designed version of how I initially imagined programming should be :)

The reason Germany and Russia aren't directly fighting has little to do with trade.

"Russia's problem is with the US" implies that Putin's motivation for invading Ukraine had much to do with the US. I find it strange that westerners are so willing ignore all of the historical irredentism, revisionism, and general nonsense that Putin has been spouting for years and instead insist that the invasion of Ukraine has to do with NATO expansion, something Putin almost never brings up (in comparison to the aforementioned reasons) and in practice clearly isn't concerned since they removed 90% of their troops from the Baltic / Nordic / Polish borders.

I think what you're seeing is due to bandwidth limitations: when the picture pans the info changes rapidly and places a bigger demand on the bandwidth, so streamed shows will suffer in quality and show pixelation.

Right now only one side is doing the blowing things up stuff: Israel.

You know what makes, maybe, Hamas go away? Open and free election, a cease fire followed by a peace treaty followed by international recognition of Palestine as a nation with free access to the sea and everything else that entails. With a neutral, demilitarized zone between Israel and Palestine, a zone save guarded by an international force with a very robust mandate. Because by know, both side need to be seperated to avoid future conflict. That would also mean a full review by an international court of all sentences by Israeli military courts against Palestinians, in cases a general amnesty is not applicable.

Oh, I almost forgot: A rebuilding plan for Gaza and other Palestinian territories. A massive one, comparable to the Marshall Plan after WW2. A plan in which Israel would have a keen interest in paeticipating if peace is the goal. Oh, yes, and a complete abandonnent of Israels illegal settlement policy and the settlements.

In exchange for Israel recognizing all of the above, and international support of that, the new Palestinian nation agrees to recognize Israel as well.

I am really puzzled by you posting this and thinking it justifies bombing. Are you unable to imagine how this would look if the shoe was on the other foot?

Imagine there was happening in New York - and someone posted a video “They are using Subway and maintenance tunnels to deliver supplies” - obviously infrastructure would be used!

Next step: “therefore any building over a tonne is a valid military target”. Do you realise that would mean basically any building in New York?

If that were true, you could bomb hospitals and it would never be a war crime. You must realise that if you actually think through the logical consequences of your argument.

Military facilities are things like an arsenal, munitions depo, barracks, forward operating base, fire support base, etc. To the best of my knowledge, this was never found.

> a computer screen that doesn’t come back after sleep

Given all of the known issues with "modern sleep" in modern laptops, I'd hesitate to blame this on Wayland. Sounds more like a driver problem.

When PulseAudio took over, a lot of "PulseAudio problems" were actually bugs in audio drivers that had previously been papered over but were now exposed. Not to say that PulseAudio was perfect in those days, but it got a lot of blame for things that weren't their fault. Wayland seems to be in a similar position sometimes. I get that people don't care all that much about the distinctions if "Xorg" works for them and "Wayland" is broken, but they do still exist.

Also c++ dev and I use Xcode also on a daily basis. VS is the best IDE for me and I have tried them all. Solid, excellent debugging tools. I think it helps that I generate my solutions from CMake so they are always “fresh” and not really old ones that have been upgraded multiple times, which I suspect is the cause of many issues in VS.

I also did a fair bit of .net in my last job and I could not live without Resharper C#. If the company wouldn’t have paid for it then I would. Resharper C++ is not good though.
