How is housing expensive?? Assuming a 1.2m house (for easy math). You pay 200k down and take a 1m loan which is 6k/mo. After 10y you sell the house for 2.4m. Having paid 720k, ~500k of mortgage is left over. So 200k turns into 2.4m -500k -720k = 1.18m profit.

Rather than renting for 5k (600k over 10y).

> 'The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality"

I think with a hindsight of history, my view is different:

'The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who push people into active enmity claiming a moral crisis'

The Thirty Years War was a result of this and never needed to have happened.

More recently, and dealing with Kennedy, the Vietnam War was result of this kind of thinking. (Domino theory and that unless we opposed every single advance of communism the entire world would fall and be plunged into darkness).

The Cultural Revolution was another manifestation of this kind of thinking.

Someone, much wiser than both Dante and Kennedy once said: "Blessed are the peacemakers".

EDIT:

And even prior to Dante's time, there were the Crusades, where in the name of a "moral crisis", people were mobilized, and great atrocities were committed and much death and destruction resulted.

The important thing to say out loud is we've lost. We blew right past 400ppm without looking back. In the coming decades, the right heat wave in the right place at the right time will cause death and destruction on a level never before seen. If we can do anything, anything, to help mitigate that we should. Especially since first world countries with wealth will be better able to handle it, yet it's literally all our fault. We can and should be doing anything to help the situation. We can do geoengineering and fight to limit the burning of carbon at the same time.
Anti-competitive behavior is why. Apple had no need to update their unknown tracker alert software on any particular timescale. And if Google was willing to wait until Apple made that update, Apple could certainly drag their feet and delay Google's launch for a while.

Presumably Google would have, eventually, said "ok, enough is enough, we're releasing on X date whether or not you've updated yet". And maybe that's indeed what happened! At that point Apple really would want to finish that update, since not doing so could be a privacy hole for their customers. (The same privacy hole Android users had to deal with in the early days of AirTags when we couldn't detect them.)

Currently I can run PopOS using Parallels, which runs surprisingly well!

What I want is a computer with 64-128GB RAM, a really fast CPU and a coprocessor that does parallel computations (let's call it an AI chip like everybody else) so that I can run ollama / complex Elixir live books etc.

So far the Mac books fit the bill. But I really like PopOS and would really adore to run it on some beefy ARM laptop.
Estimates suggest that total solar eclipses could cease to occur in about 600 million years from now, give or take, depending on the precise nature of lunar recession and changes in Earth's rotation. This timeframe is long enough that many other changes on Earth and in the solar system will also occur, making the cessation of total solar eclipses just one of many transformations.

Oh sure, it would be a great opportunity, but the idea of Apple voluntarily interoperating with anyone else on most things is just funny to think about.

Google isn't significantly better on that metric, of course, but I feel like it's often in Google's business interests to interoperate more often than it is in Apple's.

Agreed with your take, which is why i specified eng-only daily standups.

If we need non-eng people in a meeting on our team, it would not happen in a daily meeting (barring very rare one-offs). If there are as many non-eng people in a standup as you say, I dont see it being as anything but an excruciating exercise in patience.

Luckily for my team, we dont have a companywide rule on how daily standups should be held (or whether they should be held at all; on my previous team within the same company we did them every other day). So as long as the team manager is fine with the engineers on the team in terms of how they want to run daily standups, there is no problem.

The update doesn't seem too bad - but I did (initially) make the mistake of calling zypper from within KDE, which leads to a crash and leaves the system in an invalid state.

(ctrl+alt+f4 from the login screen allows you to get to a command line without starting KDE, and that allows for the upgrade to complete.)

I do think that this shouldn't be allowed; zypper should exit gracefully and inform the user how to safely perform the upgrade.

It's doubtful to me that this is due to malware.

Many malware hijack search settings. However, very few hijack default browsers themselves these days. In the past (10 years ago) it was much more common.

Furthermore, I don't know of many malware that touch the .PDF file extension associations, and there are plenty of other associations that would be better to hijack.

Feels more like a sloppy fix to comply with EU's DMA.
I think that for many people they want to feel they made the best choice in what they purchased, so when someone says something else is better, they defensively try to shoot it down, so that they can remain feeling good about their decision.

Occasionally I find people get surprised when I don’t engage in pointless “well my different (but largely equivalent) thing is actually better” debates.

A lot of the “holy” wars are like this, iOS vs Android, Windows vs macOS vs Linux, tabs vs spaces, programming language/framework choices, etc

Really, I’m happy for you to use what makes you happy and please let me do the same without it irrationally bugging you, even though it has no effect on you.
I'll throw in another speculation: maybe the battery management is causing the OS to pause CPU usage for a bit?
You are both technically correct - the best form of correct.

It seems like raspberry pi maxes out at 8GB of RAM, which effectively will not allow me to work. I also do not plan run Google's OS for chromebooks, and it seems like installing other OSs is a hassle on the chromebooks.

In essence I want the specs of a MBP M3 Max with 128GB of ram, just running PopOS.

Precisely this, the moment they announced they wanted to break backwards compatibility with new GTK versions every 6 months or whatever it was they made it very clear it is exclusively a Gnome API for OSS projects and nothing else.

They backtracked a bit on that but they'll still replace GTK4 with GTK5 at some point, probably deprecating context menus or whatever else this time. Clowns.

This is amazing. Thank you very much for all you've done and are still doing. Flutter changed my life as a developer. I learned so much thanks to its culture of openess & embracing community contributions. I feel like it's something unseen in most other open-source projects of this scale - I'm speaking this as a person that contributes regularly & has been invited to #flutter-hackers a few months ago:)

I was at Fluttercon Berlin last year and I remember your talk where you said we need to build for the next 10 million developers who will use Flutter. Many tools that should exist for Flutter still don't exist. The fact that you did code push on Android & iOS is a great achievement (code push on desktop should be much easier to implement than iOS and it's only a matter of time for you) - but what's the next big thing you plan to accomplish at Shorebird?

What? No. There is debate around the optimal size of a central bank's balance sheet [1], with most of the reasons for reducing relating to the optics of a P&L loss. But nobody argues for zero assets. That would require, at the outset of any inflationary pressure, the central bank start engineering shorts.

23% > 20% which means if someone goes into the field of computer programming they're more likely to remain in the field if they are a woman than if they are a man. "remain in the field" is used as a proxy for success.

Putting solar panels on existing structures, as is the case in this article, is much better than on undisturbed land. The upper crust in a lot of southwest desert stores a significant amount of carbon which gets released when you tear it up for a construction project. Such projects also use a lot of water, which is a scarce resource in many desert areas. Plus destroying the land harms a lot of native plants and wildlife.

Putting solar panels on existing structures avoids all of those problems and produces just as much energy. There is a lot of space on existing buildings that doesn't yet have solar panels and we should be making much more of an effort to improve on that.
I've read many of the recent popSci books on global warming, and I fully believe that the path we're on leads to catastrophic warming (3c+).

I also believe that many geoengineering techniques are dangerous and we should be focusing on limiting CO2, as that's the only safe way to address global warming.

Having said all that, I simply do not believe we'll stand by and watch the world burn without trying a 'ministry of the future' style geoengineering effort. Is it ideal? No way, but IMHO it will happen. It drives me insane that the scientific community is so vehemently against geoengineering research for fear that it will create a moral hazard that makes it's deployment more likely.
When I was in school, we went to Spain on a vacation that cut a bit into school days (= after the end of the school vacation). So my mom told the teacher, and it was fine. The teacher said the holiday will be a lifetime memory and great learning experience, too.

However, I read several more recent stories where parents in the UK got into trouble (had to pay fine, or got in contact with the police) because their kid did not attend a few school days, but with the parent's consent.

Both countries have mandatory school laws.

> I'd never allow any google hardware a permanent place in my home

The irrational part of me agrees with you, but I already have an Android phone, so the Google Home doesn't really give Google any extra insight into my private life that they don't already have.

This is why I don't get it when people are weirded out by a stationary always-on microphone in their homes, when they carry around a mobile, always-on microphone (and tracking device!) in their pockets.

(If you also refuse to have an Android phone on these same grounds, then your position seems pretty reasonable, of course.)
That’s because if the woke-injection Open AI applies to the prompt.
Which is why if you're job searching you should spend a decent chunk of your time making connections. Go to meetups, work on open source, volunteer, join a hackathon if such a thing still exists near you as well as "job board" job searching.

I read the evergreen "What Color is Your Parachute" when I was 18 or so (before the web), and it profoundly affected my take on job search (and sales). It gets updated pretty regularly though the original author has passed not that long ago.
Another curious data point: id =40000000 is up in a few hours. I thought it would be fun to try to make a submission pointing to that id, while trying to get that id right when it’s up.

In software there's a huge push to have everything public and recorded, which makes me very cautious about how I present myself. When I switch to private messages, I get much higher sense of connection with the other person, because I don't need to stay that formal.
