I am a linux user too, but if I try to do certain tasks with my linux workstation I lose an enormous amount of time, and the software is just not at the level where it needs to be to carry out those tasks. Just as a simple example, libreoffice is nowhere near what it needs to be.

I love linux and I like it for software development in the business I am operating in. I just don't have the time to screw around trying to get something working when my Mac just does it better and faster and with less stress.

> There is an ongoing campaign to show Western cities as collapsing/decaying. There is also another ongoing campaign to show that China is collapsing any minute now. Welcome to the new cold war.

The campaign about Western cities is not from China, but from Western conservatives. Look at Trump and the GOP (and now the Democrat governor of NY!) repeatedly calling for the national guard or military to be sent into cities.
there is a potential benefit of doing this in a RAID: it may reduce propability of them failing at the same time.

You need a source that says fewer crimes are reported than before. Maybe more are reported now.
Not the op, but at some point I did choose between the two paths/jobs assuming I will get more proficient in only one of them each year (which is true, I stayed junior in C#).

Why I chose Java boils down to two reasons:

- runs on linux (I know there is some version of c# that eventually opened up, but I kind of expect it to have lot of conditions for being cross platform, I assume that standard c# code is not crossplatform due to some reason (e.g. Com usage might be standard way of doing stuff), which would make finding crossplatform answers tedious)

- whole ecosystem is more open source and more involved parties (which I interpreted as abit less controlled by the corporate overlord, so if corporate overlord went rogue, greater chance that language would survive somehow)

Never needed to call into C though..

She also previously held securities licenses. That takes entire categories of innocent error out of the picture. I hold securities licenses. I’d be held to a higher standard because plausible deniability is removed.
That blog post is even more frustrating than the video. No structure, you need to read a giant wall of text to figure out the result, at that point it's probably faster to just watch the video.

I hate that so much info about 3D printing requires watching hours of videos (even if the videos are just 15 minutes long, you'll end up watching a bunch of them because you don't know which ones contain the info you are looking for)
These days you get to work on a single Jira ticket that has been sliced so fine you barely need to write a single line of code, with morning standups in which you are expected to describe every moment of your day the previous day and every moment that you anticipate in your upcoming day with four people tugging their beards and harrumphing if you describe the slightest challenge.

Doing something "different" would get you a warning, doing something major without full work breakdown, buy in, analysis, tickets and micromanagement would get you fired.
I have preferred the "Classic" Macintosh in the early 1990s because it tried to provide a coherent design across the entire system.

This even extended to file shortcuts: in the Finder I could "Create Shortcut" to a file on a remote AppleTalk file server. I could put that shortcut on a floppy by dragging its icon to the floppy icon. Eject the floppy, hand that to someone, who could go back to their office on the other side of campus, insert the floppy, open the Shortcut file, and the Mac would get the file from the file server, download it, and get to work.

If I needed to move the file on the file server to a new location for a whatever reason, any shortcuts to the file would still work.

These days, we just do this in seconds with a web link. But back then, compared to NDIS networking on DOS-based clients, it was a game-changer.

The PC quickly developed sophisticated networking by throwing money at the servers. Prices could get way up there, particularly when you factored in licenses for each client that could connect.

Although the Macs were more expensive than single user desktop PCs, the Mac ad-hoc, peer networking was just built into the base system.

I could go on about how this tended to play out in many different areas of functionality. Adding a new video card? Turn off Mac. Insert card. Turn on Mac. Done.

Yes, we would argue endlessly about the devilish details that we dealt with on a daily basis. And again, as the corporate networks continued to mature, the Mac as a client was often sidelined.

Mac replaced by cheaper desktop PCs and very expensive network right about the time that the web development took off and disrupted the industry again.

Classic Mac cratered, just to be replaced by my favorite system of all time, the same attempt at whole-system design on top of a mass-market UNIX.

I had more fun productive work building and supporting these network systems. When Windows NT shipped with the modern Win95 GUI toolkit, NT's deep support of every network protocol, and device drivers for just about every x86 bit of hardware, and NT's very strong kernel implementation was made to work. Unified security model. Group Policies. Active Directory wiped out my little toy networks.

Books were written. All that history is now but a distant legend, lost to the mists of the Y2K bug that destroyed human civilization. Now that we seem to be winning against the Terminators and H-Ks, we can perhaps entertain the dream that our children's children will someday step out into the light of a brand new day, the GNU Manifesto in one hand, and in the other, John Perry Barlow's writ of sovereignty for all data, everywhere, forever free.
The text nodes is also interesting, it's like a mind map, I can see how it could be great for learning, planning, collaboration, exploring...
I'm sorry that I came up as patronizing, I was more so trying to explain my confusion and thought process rather than to teach you about virtualization and containers.

Specifically what confused me in your comment was that you were saying Docker on Mac was superseded by their new native virtualization, which just doesn't make sense to me, for the reasons I was bringing up. I still don't understand what you were trying to say; replacing docker with podman or containerd or something else still doesn't have anything to do with virtualization or Rosetta, or at least I don't see the connection.

I should also say that I don't think anyone really means specifically docker when they talk about it, they probably mean containerization + image repos in general.
> Stock buybacks and wage increases are not necessarily related issues.

Workers (or their union representatives) asking for wage increases are usually told "sorry, there's no money". If the company then does a share buyback, employees who haven't seen significant raises in years are going to take umbrage. In that context, that's why buybacks are such an issue: they're seen as a "fuck you" to underpaid workers.
And thats why jokes about patients using 'Dr Google' to look up symptoms before discussing their problems with a GP are going to get a whole lot wierder.

On the other hand, if you have Oxalate stones (Like I do) then your urologist may advise you to drink more lemon juice as a preventative. And indeed, citric acid is how I remove calcate deposits from my coffee maker, and sink. I am not entirely convinced a diet higher in citric acid expresses into the kidneys but I think within limits it does no harm, so why not? -Note, not to dissolve, or pass stones: to prevent their tendency to form.
Stupid.

“ Under an agreement with the Alberta government, Shell was awarded two tonnes' worth of emissions reduction credits for each tonne of carbon it actually captured and stored underground at its Quest plant, near Edmonton.”

They also had a headline for Alphazero that convinced everyone that they crushed Stockfish and that classical chess engines were stuff of the past, when in fact it was about 50 elo better than the Stockfish version they were testing against, or roughly the same as how much Stockfish improves each year.
Thanks for your interest!

To clarify, these icons can be used in any interface.

The term 'React Icons' refers to the specific React package we've created to make it easy for developers to integrate these icons into React and React Native applications.

However, you can absolutely use these icons in other ways as well.

They are available through a Figma plugin, WordPress, and directly in HTML-CSS via SVG.

Compatible with any framework.

I hope this clears up any confusion!
So true, when looking back at the great companies I've worked at, none of them are still like that any more.
Looks like Red Hat screwed up.

You're supposed to discriminate against Gen Z white men who have never been in the workforce at the hiring stage, where they can't even prove that you discriminated against them. You aren't supposed to actually dismiss older white men who already have power and savings and employment history and insight into the internal dealings of the company. They'll sue you.

I guess IBM was tripped up by its desire for youth and hatred for its older employees though.
My major hassle with touches in pools is frog kick. I have zero issues with fins, on me or others.
I don't understand why you would draw this conclusion. The deep search you describe is an algorithm that humans can understand perfectly fine. Humans just can't solve it in their heads and need to let a computer handle the number crunching. Just like a scientist may understand the differential equations to describe a system perfectly fine, but require a computer to approximate the solution for an initial value problem.

actually you delete it immediately (after load) on anything that's not windows... even then but it's likely to return false.

deleteOnExit just stores the path to delete and uses a shutdownHook to actually call delete. Nothing really special about it

Being hardcore about wearing a uniform by choice is one of those 'I could, and arguably even I should, because it would remove unnecessary choice problems from my life' -But the thing is the people who dive into normcore and buy a wardrobe once of the identi-kit tee and trousers wind up being Steve Jobs fans and nothing, nothing kills the feel more than somebody who is obsessed with Jobs, unless its somebody obsessed with Elon Musk.

I think because he actually was a working creative, this side of Albini's character is less important to the story, but its a side I do reflect on: If I ditched 88% of my wardrobe, I might well be happier. The problem is I have bits of several distinct uniform choices I could select from to be "the one" and I am unsure I am ready to face that decision-battle. He obviously was. I live in tech conference tee shirts which tend to black. They are over-logofied.

(Australian's can elect to wear a particularly odd front-zip or front-popper sleeveless boiler-suit made by Hard Yakka, which I did briefly. I have shy kidneys and peeing standing up is agonisingly slow for me, so I wound up getting tired of the constant bathroom striptease. But that said, I did like them.

Another poster here referenced the Wikipedia page for the book which has some good content under the “Reception” section. Not all anthropologists thought it was a breath of fresh air. And again, I looked up a lot of the evidence and it wasn’t as cut and dry as he made it out to be. He was trying to build a narrative to sell a book.

Just because I’m not an anthropologist doesn’t mean I have to take Graeber’s word for everything.

Carbon credits is this weird market, where the product is some positive externality. No one in the market has any incentive to be honest.

The buyer of the carbon credits doesn't actually need the carbon to be captured. They just want a certificate for X credits, so they can emit elsewhere or get some other benefit.

The seller doesn't actually need to capture the carbon. As long as they can make a convincing enough case to the buyer that they did capture the carbon, the buyer is happy to buy.

It's pretty much exactly the same as the plastic recycling market in Canada. The plastic waste is actually just shipped/sold to Asia. Not actually recycled.
Yeah, I was gonna say. Not that I'd necessarily want to cut a gear with hand tools even in nylon, considering how exacting the profile would be to get right, but it's doable.
Hmmms. While I definitely can see SO's arguments concerning deletion, that letter seems to blatantly contradict GDPR's right to be forgotten, which Wikipedia describes as a more limited "right to data erasure" [1].

Thank you. We chose open source for several reasons:

1. We are building for Engineering Teams: Being in the public domain allows us to collaborate openly with engineering teams and build a better product.

2. Building Trust in AI Agents: Trust is crucial in AI development. By going open source, we demonstrate transparency and accountability, enhancing trust in our AI agents.

3. Enabling Marketplace Development: Our vision includes creating a marketplace for AI agents (Integrating with multiple tools). Open source facilitates community involvement, driving the growth of this marketplace.

4. Community: We've noticed a gap in a vocal community focused on team management and mutual support. Our aim is to create a space where individuals can come together to share knowledge and assist each other effectively.

We love opensource. We have always built in opensource.

It's unlikely to be inequitable and have discriminatory effect until the makeup of the staff are similar to that of the actual population. If the resident population is 30% minority but only 3% of the company staff are, it is neither de facto nor de jure discrimination to prioritize undoing the existing actually discriminatory workplace.
Tbh I would believe a story about three people building in a few months what 20 people struggle to build in two years.
I dunno if you firmly believe this or really just haven't kept up with this, but you basically just install linux on a laptop and it works (including graphics), and thats 99% of the time.
not with java - it needs a path. Of course if you have a ram disk (e.g. /tmp) it'd do the job.
Java was tacked on to AS400/iSeries so I can understand how it would be painful with any Change/Release management system. I would much prefer to stick with the old crufty RPG/CL on those systems. Tacking on "new" tech to old "green screen" systems is just a bandaid. Should have went to a modern OS at that point. Try doing JSON/CRUD apps on TSO/MVS. Not fun.
Afaik, Windows RDP used to do more complex remoting of drawing primitives so that the host computer would send the clients instructions for drawing individual elements.

But for many years now, they switched to an approach of rendering all the graphics on the host side and then sending a video stream to the client using standard video compression. I think this compression based approach scales better for the common use cases, especially office apps where the display is mostly static. I guess the approach has almost gotten good enough that you can play games remotely that way.

Having more than 8 million Java developers worldwide, the future of Java development is bright. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and specialized Java libraries and frameworks, new breakthroughs are being presented. The need for employing seasoned Java developers is increasing right now, with applications including cloud computing, IoT, web app development, game development, software development, and microservices.
I mean realistically, if you were to optimize for your use case, you would be on a Windows 11 pro laptop with WSL2 for dev.
Not sure if this is still the case, but one of the Java Sqlite driver used something called NestedVM to run Sqlite in the JVM when a native library wasn't available. It worked by cross-compiling the code to mips, then transpiling the mips assembly to Java byte code. I can't remember if it bridged system calls or libc calls to Java for things like file IO.

The problem is LLMs don't provide attribution/credit which directly violates the license[0]

Otherwise search engines were already "non-human public" that scraped the site but directly linked to the answers, which was great. They didn't claim its their work like these models. The problem isn't human vs non-human. LLMs aren't magic, they don't create stuff out of thin air, what they're doing is simply content laundering.

I've been a Windows user since Win 3.1 and until Win 11. My phones have all been Android, and I can't stand the iPhone UX. Yet, when time came last year to replace my dead Intel-based laptop, I went with an M1 Pro and never looked back. Objectively, M-series laptops are the best ones and nothing else comes close. The combination of power capacity, capability, and form factor are just unbeatable - and I'm basing this on a device two generations behind. Got it refurbished (barely any prior use, looks new, still under warranty), so price was quite acceptable as well.
That was it. We squeezed every trick out of that thing.
The fact itself that programmers keep insisting on writing "IANAL" is maybe an example of that.

A court would probably not agree on the fact that writing "IANAL", not the full sentence, is a sufficient disclaimer.
