That happened in my company.
The CIO left bragging about implementing itil on servicenow.
What they did was replacing RT for servicenow, and only for some ticketing queues. Nothing else, no change management, no cmdb, only an incident and non standard requests queues.

128k/ year, while RT still runs in a VM for all the other ticketing queues.

Lots of powerpoints.
I feel there is something missing in this story… what was implied by your email about cancelling your flight home the agreement to only log 40 hours? Sounds like you were just saying “affirmative”… what is the stunt he thinks you were pulling? And what is the second email about which you mention gmail and taking him off.

It was a great story until that point and I want to know what happened next, I feel I’m missing something.
> buy a TV from a company that makes money by selling TVs.

These pretty much don't exist at the consumer level at all anymore. Two years ago, when I purchased this TV, I searched pretty extensively for consumer level TVs that meet your description.

I found none.

The only option was to move up to commercial market stuff, that is much more expensive, and designed to be on nearly all the time. Seriously, if you have a recommendation for a consumer TV company that makes money by selling TVs, I'm all ears.

I believe them, but I'm also not going to put this TV on some other poor (probably unsuspecting) consumer. No, the TV has become defective, through a deliberate manufacturer's choice, and I'll demand my money back.

In WebStorm if I write:

it tells me I have the error :

But the error goes away if I rewrite it as:

let see = someOb ['comments'];

Why is that?
Vague claims about evaporation creating clean water. That's like saying "Heat can generate energy" or something similarly abstract. The writer plucked a casual remark out of an interview?

No Rust.

> The influx of AI-generated code, an ever-evolving threat landscape, and the push for shorter release cycles can jeopardize code quality. All of these factors dictate the need for continuous and accurate code analysis to help development teams spot and fix code issues early on so they can consistently deliver readable, maintainable and secure code.

You know, I read stuff like this and I wonder if anybody has thought maybe those things jeopardizing code quality should be discouraged as opposed to adding yet-another-tool.
I totally feel you on this. One time I spent three nights writing a language parser before my Google wormhole showed me I was writing a lexer/tokenizer. My colleagues with CS degrees just looked at me like I was an alien when I shared my excitement.

As of this moment, I'm not aware of a TV on the market that connects to the Internet on its own without using the owner's Wi-Fi or Ethernet. To my knowledge, none of my TVs are online in any way whatsoever.

I'd vastly rather use an Apple TV (or Android equivalent or PS5 or XBox or whatever) than some TV's junky built-in apps anyway.
This is the kinda thing that makes me nervous. My brother asked me about my Linux workstation and said he wanted to try it after I explained why I like Linux. After a month, and tons of tech issues, he was back on Windows. I've only seen it work at tech companies and, for what it's worth, they were all using Google workspaces.
If you build a arbitrarily large Dyson sphere, the shadows cast by planets orbiting the sun inside the Dyson sphere onto the inner surface of the Dyson sphere will appear to "move" arbitrarily fast.

If a planet orbits in, say, a day, its shadow will make a full circuit of the Dyson sphere in a day. Make the circumference of the Dyson sphere larger than a light-day, and now the shadow is "moving" faster than light.
I think this - thought/'inner life' being the fourth dimension. But the problem is that there are several senses of the term dimension - there is the mathematical/topological sense and the philosophical sense, and possibly others. Confusing contexts doesn't help in talking about this stuff.

There are multi-million dollar projects churned out and abandoned multiple times per day. Very common.

I just left a company where I was contracting with a few other people for about a year. About $1.2MM down the drain. There is no hope of spinning that product up. The owners "suspended" the project and the entire brain trust evaporated. Imagine the bank owners from the movie Mary Poppins interfacing with technologists and startup founders. Whoosh...

Minecraft itself perhaps does not care, but a 32-bit JVM process will have a 4Gb heap tops (3Gb on Windows) that will make the playing experience either unpleasant (i.e. constant garbage collection running in parallel and stopping Minecraft worlds) or will plainly fail as Minecraft creates a very large number of objects, esp. in large worlds, that won't fit into the JVM heap – each thing in Minecraft is a Java object.

I worked for a local newspaper in Kansas around 2003/2004 and one thing I found surprising was that journalists there were frequently on the hook for writing up national stories - things that would come in off the wire services and then be re-written for the local audience.
It probably would still be useful - even quite recently a UK politician got into hot water running up a large bill on his work iPad, I’ll admit I’ve not followed the industry for the last decade as anything but a consumer, You also see the same dynamic with cloud costs where this certainly is active area for startups. Anywhere you can see massive bill shock, you have both sides of the market motivated to fix it, because the provider often ends up absorbing the costs when the customer complains.
Interestingly, The Dreamcast's GD-ROM format was nonstandard enough to not be copyable with a normal CD burner, at least at first. They used CAV + cutting the disk speed in half in order to write more data (up to 1.2GB).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GD-ROM

I think what you are referring to is the fact that the Dreamcast itself didn't only read from GD-ROM- it was perfectly happy to execute code from a CD-ROM via the MIL-CD format.

> The "foot in the door" came from a seemingly obscure capability of the Dreamcast to boot not from a GD-ROM but from a CD-ROM. Originally intended to add multimedia functions to music CDs, the functionality called "MIL-CD" was never used much, accounting for a mere seven karaoke applications. [1]

Which meant if you were able to acquire a GD-ROM image, and you could repack it into the CD-ROM's max capacity of some 650MB, then you could burn it to disc and play it without any modification of your Dreamcast, at least once the other protections were defeated.

For games that actually utilized more than a CD's worth of data, usually pirates would recompress or remove images, video files and other assets to save space. So that copy of Sonic might not behave exactly the same as a genuine copy, simply by the necessity of the format (not that I know if Sonic required this sort of rework).

Maybe you're right, that's really not what I got from it though. Admittedly I've only watched each film once or twice as a child. I can't honestly remember the specific consequences of the bad guys' actions, I was more affected by the closeness of the bad guys to the good guys. Maybe I'm remembering my own version.

My takeaway was that power has a magnitude but not a fixed direction, and that it can easily tip either way. And that you can educate and train but you can't control.

I think it was the first time that I considered the idea that people could, for their own reasons, use things that they have learned/acquired against those who taught/shared them. Relates to, for example, the innate risks that we take when we choose to enable other people in our lives eg. through granting powers, sharing of trade secrets, etc.
How many frauds does it take to make that conclusion? Just one will suffice for most of us.

Would be interesting to see a dive into what the "security error" was, especially since from what others are saying it blocked anything hosting the Meta-critical article text as opposed to a specific site. Possibly tripped some account phishing detector (due to mentions of Facebook combined with phrases like "red alert")?

My point is that however we "punish" the AI it will not feel any pain.

If we restrict its access to Internet etc. we are really punishing the (human) distributors of that AI application. And there is of course nothing new about that, it is just like punishing distributors of malware in general.
I worked for ten months for a bank, in a team of about ten people (mostly external consultants, so pretty expensive), to build some new feature of their customer website. The feature had been proposed as part of some internal initiative and was pretty much useless. From the start it was clear that the project manager hadn't understood at all the concept of what we were asked to build, and even after several months and a lot of explanation he was still proposing stuff that showed the same misunderstanding of the concept; the feature consisted of all of three or four views, but the designs were constantly changing (despite being almost childishly simple), the huge monorepo was so badly set up that each hot-reload took several minutes, and the backend needed to go through an insane amount of bureaucracy.

In the end, we managed to produce three working web pages, and then the team was disbanded and the project shelved. The whole thing might have costed the company a million or more. Pretty sad, but now I tell people that I know why the interest rates of their bank accounts are zero.

Its hard to imagine how anyone thought this was a good idea. It will piss customers off, but will bring in almost no add revenue. Why would anyone pay to show an add when the user is most likely getting a sammich?
I don't think this is the case. One of my younger brothers is in a way lower income bracket and only streams things via free services like Tubi. I tried watching a few things on that service - couldn't stand how many ads there were/are. Likewise, I pay for YouTube premium or whatever instead of dealing with ads, and used to subscribe to Spotify to avoid the ads, etc.

Now that streaming has overtaken cable, the need to be ad-free to lure users over is gone. Streaming is the preferred way to consume content, so now they're free to inflict ads on people because they don't think users are going to go backwards. And as each streaming service adopts ads, it lowers the barrier for others.

Plus the streamers are in need of more revenue and ads are just too attractive and easy to turn to.

But lower income folks are always going to see more ads. More billboards in their neighborhoods, more ads via radio, streaming, TV, whatever.

Hey if those tools and technologies on the Apple App Store are so valuable, then Apple has nothing to worry about. Developers will just stay on that app store.

If, instead, other competing options are better on some metrics than Apple's, then that is a situation where developers would move off of the app store.

It seems like we will find out how valuable that app store really is soon, won't we?

I spent the past two and a half years building prototype features for a large internal application. One month ago, the CFO decided that as a part of organizational restructuring, the company will no longer invest in the application. New development on it is ending, and the entire application may potentially be deprecated at some point in the future in favor of cheap dashboards.

I am being moved to the team that builds the cheap dashboards (I'm not happy about it). Among all the prototype work I did, only one significant project has made it into production - the others were continually iterated on for a couple of years, and though some of them have a highly engaged and appreciative beta userbase within the company, I am not allowed to do much more development on them, and they will be taken out of my hands at some point and passed off to other teams.

I do remember this story about Munich going for open source and then switching back but I don't recall any side story about MS lobbying for opening headquarter in the city or offering discounts. That's what brave search served me when I enter the keywords so excuse me for choosing the source - sadly, the sites that do PR for the companies pretending to serve news, leaks, reviews are all around us.

And honestly, it's not really surprising that MS lobbied - they managed to do the same in Poland too many times in the past. My sister starting computer classes in the high school was given a pamphlet with instruction how to register an account in (back then) Windows Live ecosystem, how to use mail and create a blog there, and how great SkyDrive is for storing your files.
Sadly, it's like outsourcing. People only learn once it comes back to bite them. It'll typically be in the form of a major security breach or the codebase becoming so painful to work in that it affects the business.
If you haven't tried in a while, things like Plex, Jellyfin, etc, are now pretty close to a store bought experience. And there are vendors with pretty turnkey setups to pull content now, less research and setup required.
Wow, this looks great. Seems like there is a mini-renaissance of Fortran that I've been seeing lately. I see from the main page:

"LLVM makes it possible to run LFortran on diverse hardware and take advantage of native Fortran language constructs (such as do concurrent) on multi-core CPUs and GPUs."

...is LFortran close to using coarrays, etc, and farming it out as appropriate to the GPU cores?
The stunt is creating a paper trail.
I think the answer about why it’s so specific is if you just say you threw someone out of a window people might assume it was only one story high and not lethal. Defenestration tells you that it was a high window, and often implies the ejection of the owner or a legitimate occupant. Similar to shock vs electrocution.
I would hate to have to do any editing in ed. Just reading a file line by line would be painful.

And that's the USP of JetBrains IDEs. You don't have to spend days to configure your editor/IDE until it works for you. Just pick the right flavor for your favorite language and start working on your actual code.
