And to be honest, I don't think most of these things are terrible per se, albeit mildly annoying. Also, I don't see what you're suggesting as realistic, but idealistic. You can try to unionize developers, but good luck with that because you'll just be replaced with overseas contractors. I'd rather keep my job and feed my family, thanks.
Redesigns were exciting when they were driven by user feedback and improved things for users. That doesn’t really happen on a large scale anymore.
Where I currently work we have only office work. I wouldnt mind it if it wasn’t for my manager who loves the sound of his own voice and who doesn’t give us peace to finish the damn work, always interrupting... In my current situation hybrid would literally enable me to work.
Yeah, I'm not sure why the editorial focus on 'aesthetics'.
I churned from Kagi twice before sticking around as a long term customer, because the results were better than Google.

I’ll be curious if you come back to Kagi in a couple months too.
Yes, a decade+ of enshittification will provoke such a reaction.
The first sentence puts it into a little bit of perspective:

"Police in Japan have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of selling illegally modified Pokémon save data to customers online — a practice which is banned under the country’s 2019 Unfair Competition Prevention Act."

Now, it's still a ridiculous story, but it's a little easier to see how this happened.
it could have been worse
Since they are profitable, they are not that dependent of the initial investment anymore.
They did not expect to get this many users, and then send the shirts as thank you.

They money could have been used to hire new employees, but they decided to say thank you. I cannot criticize this since it does not seem to doom the company, while it might slow down a bit.
> A programming language is more scalable if an engineer unfamiliar with a code base written in it produces correct code more quickly.

> Scalability is often at odds with peak effectiveness, the maximum effectiveness of an engineer who is intimately familiar with the codebase...

I would think we would want to use the term "scalability" in this kind of context to say something more like "a programming language is more scalable if it makes it easier to have large numbers of engineers all working on features of a single app concurrently without stepping on each other's work (even if they have to go to great effort to learn how to do so)"?

(edit addition 25 minutes later:) As a maybe overly-trivial example, it can be really irritating to work with other developers in an object-oriented programming language that requires all the fields or methods of a class to be declared in one place, as you can end up with constant merge conflicts. If you can create a new file and declare fields and methods that extend an existing class -- preferably with the fields in that new file being scoped to only being accessible to methods in that new file -- that can be a massive help (even if it makes other specific aspects of understanding the functionality of the class a bit more difficult).
This is medical ethics 101. I don't have the time right now to explain it, but I will leave some keywords if anyone is interested in reading about it: therapeutic misconception, vulnerable groups, medical vulnerability. Related to your point (c): clinical equipoise.

You can't mute ads? On what browser? In Firefox Ctrl+M mutes the current tab and there's nothing YouTube can do about it.
1. Word works just fine in a web browser. Yes, it's not the full featured version, but I don't need the full featured version.

2. I know a lot of people even on Windows who use Gimp because they get more value out of using Gimp for free than paying for an Adobe subscription.

3. I don't really see much in the way of random problems on Linux, but even if I did, I'll take that over the constant problems caused by ads embedded in the OS.
I learned C++ around six years ago with learncpp.com. Can't recommend that site enough.
I agree and never thought about it this way as im already in a HCOL area (NY). Also In not allowed hybrid where I work, the office is cramped, noisy and hostile to deep work.
Cool; thanks! Just due to not really paying attention to FE, I'd never really heard of Solid, but had heard from more conversant friends that Svelte is way more enjoyable than any other library they'd worked with in awhile. By this I mean people who cut their teeth on like...ext and webforms and spent a good part of the last decade working in various SPA frameworks.
Look at the menu bars in Office 97 it had up to ~25 buttons from left to right on your 1024x768 15” screen. That’s vastly more dense than you see today even adjusted for DPI.

Compare that will office a 15” widescreen laptop today.
Not just tampering but also selling and there’s a law against it in Japan. Nintendo usually draws the line where it counts.
Well, it can be issued to any filed 485 provided the i140 is also approved. By the numbers, that's the majority of people. But that's also not what they do. It's just an employment scheme for the government. Makes money and provides jobs.
Agreed - iPhone ux is incredible but design is perpetually inoffensive and meh. On the other hand, Microsoft put fucking fabric on their laptops and it’s amazing.

The article was written by the writer then edited and titled by the bosses at Bloomberg.
Student loans are different from commercial loans. Student loans are long term, with all the details fixed for the life of the loan. Commercial loans are more fluid, and generally have short terms, adjustable rates, and other fun things.

Two possible approaches to leverage quickly come to mind:

- The carrot: "You've got a loan with us for $xM at y%. If you show you are committed to this office by maximizing occupancy, that lowers our risk and we can give you a 0.1% discount."

- The stick: "Your loan term is expiring soon. I know it'd hurt to need to make that big balloon payment. Let's discuss our conditions for rolling you over into a new loan."
I'm in the south, and not sure I'd want to move back north for 15% more, and... I'm 'stuck' with a cheap mortgage. I don't like cold weather. My wife doesn't mind it. I'd go back for a lot more, but 15% ain't tempting enough.
Without knowing what you're talking about, caring too much as an end user about the back of house on software development is wild to me.
They would have to be much more than 20% less. Taxes and living costs are typically far lower than income for the types of jobs that people would consider moving for. 20% higher income is 20% more of a larger number than the 20% higher costs, making it more profitable to live in the high cost of living area.
Yes, and I am sure that when people do a google search for "Good arguments in favor of X", that they are also sometimes convinced to be more in favor of X.

Perhaps they would be even more convinced by the google search than if a person argued with them about it.

That is still much different from "The AI mind controls people, hacks the nukes, and ends the world".

Its that second part that is the the fantasy land situation that requires extraordinary evidence.

But, this is how conversations about doomsday AI always go. People say "Well isn't AI kinda good at this extremely vague thing Y, sometimes? Imagine if AI was infinitely good at Y! That means that by extrapolation, the world ends!".

And that covers basically every single AI doom argument that anyone ever makes.
There is nothing in the world stupider than driving into the office to get on a video call.
Nixos kind of bothers me, not for anything that it did wrong, but for the fact that it’s so obviously the “correct” way of doing things to me that it’s annoying that it’s not the default in every system.

Its declarative nature is so much easier to work with, and doing the tmpfs as root trick makes it more fun to experiment with the knowledge that you won’t break anything that can’t be fixed with a reboot.

I would really like to get my T9 MacBook on Nixos but I have had a lot of issues when I attempted that, and suspend is still broken.
I really wish I could point you to a timestamp. I think it was this series.

Everything is a spectrum.

Fentanyl, heroin and a handful of other drugs are too addictive and too deadly to be acceptable.

On topic, though, I have to wonder why warrantless searches are needed to stem the distribution layer of fentanyl.
Sorry that's definitely not it. In an un-emphesized other tab, there is a raw link to an ISO with no instructions.
Was this the 13th rocket assembled under the GE/White Sands program? Surely the Germans launched more than a dozen of them.
It depends on the use case. Linux often works well on desktop computers without too many fancy peripherals, but I generally do not recommend Linux as a laptop OS for “normies.”

I have installed various flavors of Linux on various laptops over the years, and 100% of the time there were tough-to-diagnose issues with hardware components. With one laptop, the brightness level could not be changed. With another, installing Linux caused the battery to drain three times as fast and hibernation didn’t work properly. With another, I accidentally played music so loud that the speakers broke.

These are all things that I was able to figure out using my Google skills and general knowledge of Linux, but it is not an experience I’d recommend for a “regular person.”
Since being laid off back in November from my tech support role, I’ve been diving into developing since I never got the chance at my workplace. This is a very early demo but wanted to get some feedback and show what I’m working on. I’ve got about 4 months of just self-teaching and learning new programs/tools.
Real discoverability is as real as discoverability of subj, so we’re all misplaced. That bugs me the most, much talks, crap UIs. Empty rationalizing it to death instead of cultivating feature cultures that already work and do not require “design”.

Yes, some video games are made in Japan.

What is significant about this one?
I don’t. Also, calling those ads sound correct to me.
Did the app authors pay for their apps to be recommended? If so, then it's still an ad.
Without that rule, you could decompose everything into 1's, and then recompose from there. Not the most efficient solution, but a boring one that always exists.
Every ad is a recommended product. I don’t see why the distinction matters.
This feels like the Japanese equivalent of all the crazy laws that Disney’s gotten passed in the US.
Huh? If I own a video, I can edit it if I want. Selling the modified version would be the difficulty? But I could still hire someone to make a modification for me I think.
The analysis post was very good and did a great job of explaining how the attacker (hacker) obfuscated the backdoor.
I have 2 hours round trip every day, 5 days a week. Id take 2 four hour round trips in an instant just because being in the office 5 days a week is absolutely draining all my resources.
No, the northern states need to raise their mortgages so the southern states can keep their salaries low!
Places that care enough are moving away from Ubuntu due to that too.

For example, just recently I expanded the supported OS list from just Ubuntu to many others:

https://github.com/getredash/setup/?tab=readme-ov-file#teste...

We've also rebuilt our Docker images to use Debian and Alpine as the base (there are a few different images), and coming up we'll probably change our baseline development platform from Ubuntu to Debian or similar (TBD).

When that's complete, Ubuntu will be just one choice among many for our users, rather than the only supported choice.
This also breaks down in the gender difference in suicide rates: attempts are quite similar, but method changes the outcome a lot - men in the US are much more likely to shoot themselves.
it's that plus apple having better "design" aesthetic, so the ads never feel as garishly plastered in as microsoft's.
The crime was selling - not editing. Not defending the arrest but it's a pretty big difference.
There were game save websites back in 2000 where people could go and download saves for their Dreamcast straight to their memory cards. People would also make homebrew games and animations for the VMUs (virtual memory unit). The memory cards were like mini Gameboys. Fun times. I couldn't imagine getting arrested for that.
Both Photoshop and Word are industry standards. For Photoshop, one can't just swap it out, and if you think one can then that only shows you are not even a novice user, much less a professional who needs it for work.
I find quarterly retreats worse than hybrid. You lose control of your life, if you have to travel for a week or two every quarter, with the dates set by the employer. I don't mind business travel as such, but I expect to be the one who decides if the trip is worth doing.
Not IQ directly, but rather higher fealty to the Qanon joke, a phenomenon correlated to lower IQ
Not in the US. There was a company that tried selling modified (I.e. censored) versions of Hollywood films. They lost. Copyright infringement.

There was also a second attempt where people would mail in their disks, and receive an edited version back. Again, lost.

So, whether we like it or not, nope. That’s not how things work, because any editing creates a “derivative work” in the eyes of the law, and only the copyright owner is allowed to make such derivative works.

Even if you edit the film yourself, you’re making a derivative work. The only reason you won’t be sued is because the harm is $0.
Yes, it is legal as the pipelines are different. H1 doesn't have the sort of requirements that you are thinking of. Maybe you are thinking of PERM.
My boss is opposed to any WFH but he is working 2 days from home. Only managers have the luxury of hybrid in my little world.
I wonder what happens when there's lots of noise in the estimation of quality or fit (or whatever underlies the preference ranking). I imagine this has been done?
My standard start menu replacement was always to add a "run" folder with program shortcuts to the system path, then just "Win+R" to Run and e.g. "kp" to run KeyPass. Until Windows 10 this was super fast - no idea whether they've managed to break even the Run dialog after this.

No need for $ShadyISP! A 2021 FTC (USA) report on the subscriber-data use policies of six major American ISPs found that:

“… many of the ISPs in our study surveil consumers, use and disseminate consumer data, and the privacy implications of such use and dissemination. “

source: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/reports/look-what...

Everyone with an internet connection should at least read the Key Findings, just the first few pages of that report.

I assume that regional or small ISPs have similar practices, but these big ones have been M&A’d into massive orgs having control of “a much larger and broader cache of consumer data than ever before, without having to explain fully their purposes for such collection and use, much less whether such collection and use is good for consumers.”
> given the overwhelming feedback from users on Twitter, UI designers may need to go back to the drawing board with this one.

Did they unfreeze this journalist from 1999 or something? Feedback from users has been irrelevant for decades already.
Yeah, I was surprised by that for the top recommendation on every "beginners linux" search.

The front page is a soup of meaningless babble. The installation guide is in programmers documentation style and split over 15 pages.
Perhaps that it is a very lucrative gacha game. This sort of game is distributed for free and makes its money through microtransactions that amount to power boosts. Save editing would sidestep the business model. Another example of felony contempt of business model?

Elgoog feasts upon souls like this one. Mmm, delicious, tastes just like chicken.
My MIL has one of the Surface Laptops, and recently brought it to me because the battery was bulging. I looked into it, and what a maintenance nightmare. One guy on youtube had a battery fail under warranty and they sent him a whole new one, and told him to just recycle the old one; apparently even Microsoft doesn't want to repair them.

They keyboard/trackpad panel is alcantara, and is glued to the bottom cover (or was until the batteries swelled). I had to cut and pry this later off. But even then, the connector for the battery requires you to remove basically all the components (speakers, heatsinks, fans, wifi card, a bunch of RF shielding that is micro-spot welded in place, the display, the motherboard. The battery connector is a pad that the back of the motherboard has contacts that mate to it.

I told my in-laws that there was a better than even chance that I'd destroy it while doing the repair, and I'd give it a shot, but they should be prepared to buy a new one. They were ready to go buy one instead of me doing the repair, but I told them I was happy to do it and went ahead and was able to get'r'done.

I guess some of that is the price of it being so thin and light. My MIL got it because she's kind of frail and wanted something super light. Which it definitely is. It's a marvel of engineering. But, ultimately, disposable.
Same was true in Microsoft Windows, but -- say it with me -- Modern Apps Don't Work That Way Anymore. You can't keep the redraws of all the widgets in sync, so you can't guarantee pixel-perfect window refresh. The Wayland way of only having top-level windows and client handling of all widgets within is, objectively, better for modern development.
I sympathize. The task is easily accomplished with a properly coded regular expression but, damn, regex is haaaard. Also, there are too many gotchas in parsing random text. It's a no-win situation sometimes. Doing nothing might be the better idea.
I dunno, I had pretty good luck with Ubuntu on my previous laptop. I do not remember the model number but it was an Asus ROG Strix, with an AMD processor and graphics card.

I did specifically buy it around peripherals that I knew were officially Linux supported, but the install on it was extremely painless. That laptop was a piece of shit that literally started disintegrating, but Linux was certainly not to blame there.

You could also rinse the toothpaste from the brushing, and then you can apply additional toothpaste and swish it around some (and not rinse).

That may seem odd to do, but if the main reason you rinse is to wash away the junk that you loosened by brushing then it makes sense.
None of these things are secrets or even hard to learn on one’s own.

I am not a developer (not a real one, anyway) and I am definitely not a game developer but I wrote a ton of 3D stuff for work and learned all of these optimization techniques along the way.

Once one learns the basics of how data is sent to GPUs, these techniques all become obvious, though some are much more difficult when you don’t restrict yourself to a world built with axis-aligned cubes.

Does that sentence actually change the perspective? It still implies that the modification itself was illegal.
>problem of incentives

I don't see the problem here. In med school, the first thing we're taught is "primum non nocere". Of course it makes sense to penalize even if no harm is done to patients, if the methodology of testing is wrong or unethical.

> it's socially acceptable to violate ... ethical norms during an emergency

Not exactly. You aren't violating ethical norms, the ethical norms themselves allow or even "force" you to change priorities in emergencies. I would say "It's ethically acceptable to violate social norms during an emergency" fits better.
How do you wake up and go to work with this attitude? I've been nihilistic, but don't you think you should spend your short time on this planet doing something that matters, at least marginally?

Google offered News Showcase, where they paid participating orgs for quality content curated by professional editors. They were paying $25 million a year to Canadian journalists. That program is now not available in Canada. Facebook had a similar program of the same scale that they also pulled.
That’s an exaggeration , your comment does not reflect the content of the Wikipedia article.

2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023 are listed yes, but definitely not every year since 2005. And it’s days of insurrections or manifestations/gatherings, in specific areas, not months of quasi-insurrection across all of France.

That being said, the relationship of the citizens with the French police is very much catastrophic and getting worse, that I agree on. It’s heading down the same path as the US.
That’s not going to improve rendering speed. FPS here is used to gauge how quickly the scene is being sent to the GPU.

For a given rendering quality, faster is always better, even if your display can’t show frames that fast. In such a case you render as fast as the display can go and no faster, to save energy and allow the computer or your game to handle other tasks within the frame time.
Appreciate the AMA! I moved to the US ~5.5 years ago on an H-1B visa. About 3 years ago I got my green card. Around 2 years ago I married a (native-born) US citizen. My understanding is that I am eligible for citizenship on my 3rd wedding anniversary as opposed to having to wait the extra year based on my green card date. I'm guessing there might be some nuance here, but does that seem correct?

The law may seem silly/not worthwhile but at least it gives perspective there is a law saying selling modified things in a way that might make competition unfair is explicitly illegal instead of someone just deciding save edits are bad and something worth arresting for in a vacuum.
