KDE 3 was great and could easily be my second choice for a DE.

But Plasma 5 & 6 are so good I would feel like I'm missing out. Even on old hardware they are quite lightweight.

At some point I wanted to try Trinity but didn't find packaging for my distro at the time, but will probably try some day.
I agree with what you are saying up until the last part because "traits" as a general term are not all positive.

As an example, we stigmatize, and should stigmatize, the behaviours of those who are attracted to minors, and that stigma likely does reduce the social transmission of those behaviours.

The question I think comes down to essentially whether one considers the results of acting on gender dysphoria to be "bad".

If it is bad, then the question then becomes, is it a net benefit to stigmatize transitioning - i.e. do the benefits in reducing overall gender dysphoria outweigh the costs to those who would have it regardless of social factors.

If it's not bad, none of that matters, crack on.
You got all the same answers I did, which helps me determine how good my sleuthing skills are. I used exclusively strings, either API routes, error codes, or version/build numbers.
Thanks, that is my same experience as at my bigtech.

> Using a touch screen to control wiper speed seems insane.

Honestly, I think that this is overblown.

Tap the end of the left stick and then use left scroll wheel to adjust.

Or use the voice command (e.g., “turn on wipers” or “increase wiper speed by 1”).

The “bad” part of the wipers is that some folks new to the car don’t know how to operate them if they have not read the manual.

Shitty drivers are going to do stupid things when it’s raining. No amount of UI is going to fix that. All the designers can do is minimize the degrees of freedom of stupidity. Tesla controls are somewhere between fine and quite optimized by this metric.
Then its a shame the editorialised title implies contagion.

That's not the problem. If you have boiler pressure, going to higher power briefly is fast. But you might run out of steam on a long hill if the thermal inertia of the boiler is high and something isn't done to increase the fuel feed.
In locomotives, thermal inertia is so great that fuel input has to be increased in advance of long hills. That's part of the fireman's job. Lack of advance planning can result in a train stuck on an upgrade, with the locomotive unable to generate enough power to get the train started again.[1] (There's some wheel slip, too.)

"Little and Often", a training film for steam locomotive fireman, covers this.[2]

This is the source of the phrase "running out of steam".

This is the full startup procedure for a Stanley Steamer.[3] Shows what all the gauges, levers, valves, and pumps do. Cold startup takes 20 minutes, is very tricky, and if botched the vehicle will be seriously damaged. Nice looking car, though. Pinstriping on the leaf springs!

Employees don't invest their time, they sell it. It's a short-term transaction, I work, I get paid.

Owners invest their time, often get short-paid, late paid, or not paid at all. It's an investment because they are foregoing short-term returns in the hope that there's a long-term pot at the end.

Of course employees are exposed to some risk. Things outside their control, sometimes outside the owners control, happen and you lose your job. Short of working for govt there's no "can't get fired" job.

Sure companies can sell stock to employees. Personally I wouldn't recommend stock where you work (if the company goes under you lose your job and your savings at the same time ala Enron).

Companies can also give stock to employees. If it's not tradeable, then I'm not sure it's worth much. If it is tradeable, I'd sell it (see above.)

It might make employees -feel- different (which is why employers do it) and good feelings are very good for all concerned.
Australia already has a similar system: if the research is funded by a national funder, then the pre-publisher version has to be deposited at the institute's research repository (basically the Word/PDF file you sent to the publisher, before they add their copyrighted formatting).

I'd judge the success so/so: it's barely enforced, librarians will remind you if you didn't upload one paper, but it's not like there's any consequences. It's also about the text of the paper, not about the associated data. And these repositories are generally built by for-profit providers and aren't exactly open: I know for a fact that my Google Scholar profile does not link to the institute's repository, papers in there are barely findable.

it also doesn't change how researchers are evaluated, so the eternal rat-race to get into Nature/Science etc. continues, with all the associated problems.

We've had this system for years now and it feels like it barely made a blip.

>Seiichi says that gold OA — in which the final copyedited and polished version of a paper is made freely available on the journal site — is not feasible on a wide scale. That’s because the cost to make every paper free to read would be too high for universities.

One should note that this isn't too expensive because of associated costs: it's that the for-profit publishers keep ratcheting up the cost. Nature-group journals now take more than ten grand in OA fees per paper, which is not justified by any associated cost. They're typesetting a PDF and hosting it for ten grand a PDF.
> I still think engineering for slow internet is really important, and massively under appreciated by most software developers, but ... LEO systems (like Starlink, especially StarLink) essentially solve the core problems now.

I don't think that this is a valid assessment of the underlying problem.

Slow internet means many things, and one of them is connection problems. In connection-oriented protocols like TCP this means slowness induced by drop of packets, and in fire-and-forget protocols like UDP this means your messages don't get through. This means that slowness might take multiple forms, such as low data rates or moments of high throughput followed by momentary connection drops.

One solid approach to deal with slow networks is supporting offline mode, where all data pushes and pulls are designed as transactions that take place asynchronously, and data pushes are cached locally to be retried whenever possible. This brings additional requirements such as systems having to support versioning and conflict resolution.

Naturally, these requirements permeate onto additional UI requirements, such as support for manually synching/refreshing, displaying network status, toggling actions that are meaningless when the network is down, rely on eager loading to remain usable while offline, etc.
macOS has case sensitivity. It's just off by default and is a major pain to turn on. You have to either reinstall from scratch onto a case-sensitive partition, or change the "com.apple.backupd.VolumeIsCaseSensitive" xattr from 0 to 1 in a Time Machine backup of your whole system and then restore everything from it.
> a lot of the end-user impact is caused by web and app engineering which fails to take slow/intermittent links into consideration.

Technology today is developed by, and for, privileged people. Has been that way for a while. Ever since you had to upgrade your computer in order to read the news, there has been a slow, steady slog of increasing resource use and conspicuous consumption.

I remember using the 9600 baud modem to get online and do the most basic network transactions. It felt blazing fast, because it was just some lines of text being sent. I remember the 2.5KBps modem, allowing me to stream pictures and text in a new World Wide Web. I remember the 5KBps modem making it possible to download an entire movie! (It took 4 days, and you had to find special software to multiplex and resume cancelled downloads, because a fax on the dialup line killed the connection) I remember movies growing to the size of CDROMs, and later DVDROMs, so those who could afford these newer devices could fit the newer movies, and those who couldn't afford them, didn't. I remember the insane jump from 5KBps to 1.5Mbps, when the future arrived. Spending days torrenting hundreds of songs to impress the cool kids at school, burning them CDs, movies, compiling whole libraries of media [hey, 15 year olds can't afford retail prices!].

I remember when my poor friends couldn't use the brand new ride-sharing services Uber and Lyft because you had to have an expensive new smartphone to hail them. They'd instead have to call and then pay for a full fare taxi, assuming one would stop for them in the poor neighborhood, or wait an hour and a half to catch the bus. I remember when I had to finally ditch my gaming laptop, with the world-class video card you could've done crypto mining on, because opening more than 5 browser tabs would churn the CPU and hard-drive, max out the RAM, and crash the browser. I remember having to upgrade my operating system, because it could no longer run a new enough browser, that was now required to load most web pages. I remember buying smartphone after smartphone after smartphone - not because the previous one stopped working, but because more apps required more cpu and more memory and more storage. I remember trying to download and run a chat app on my local machine, and running out of memory, because the chat app had an embedded web browser. I remember running out of my data cap on my cell phone because some app decided it wanted to stream a load of data as if it was just unlimited. I remember running out of space on my smartphone because 70% of the space was being used just to store the Operating System files.

I'm not complaining, though. It's just how the world works. Humanity grows and consumes ever more resources. The people at the top demand a newer, better cake, and they get it; everyone else picks up the crumbs, until they too get something resembling cake. I sure ate my share. Lately I try to eat as little cake as possible. Doesn't change the world, but does make me feel better. Almost like the cake is a lie.
The fake posts involved things like suggestions to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and that cockroaches often live in human penises. Those were quite a bit more absurd (and dangerous) than the actual falsities.
What are the hopes for "engineering for slow internet" to happen, when people have engineered applications for "fast internet" when all we had was "slow internet".

Nice thought in theory but unnecessarily gives false hope.

Confluence/Jira sometimes need to download 20 megabytes in order to show a page with only text and some icons. I have a friend that tells me that in their company they had two jiras, one for developers, one for the rest of the company, because it was that dead slow.

I've lost all faith already that this will change for better.
I recall a paper that sought to explore how willing authors were to release data when they had published open access and stated 'data available on request'. Iirc it was below 50% that responded with data. See related here; https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/jbu9r/

That being said, there are also issues with opening the gates to anyone to get your data and use it to publish; https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

My data is OA, but I'd appreciate any one wanting to use to first reach out and discuss any nuances that may influence their analysis.
I had a similar experience as the author on a boat in the south pacific. Starlink was available but often wasn't used because of its high power usage (60+ watts). So we got local SIM cards instead which provided 4G internet in some locations and EDGE (2G) in others.

EDGE by itself isn't too bad on paper - you get a couple dozen kilobits per second. In reality, it was much worse. I ran into apps with short timeouts that would have worked just fine, if the authors had taken into account that loading can take minutes instead of milliseconds.

Low bandwith, high latency connections need to be part of the regular testing of software. For Linux, there's netem (https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/netem) that will let you do this.

An issue that the anonymous blog author didn't have was metered connections. Doing OS or even app upgrades was pretty much out of the question for cost reasons. Luckily, every few weeks or so, we got to a location with an unmetered connection to perform such things. But we got very familiar with the various operating systems' ways to mark connections as metered/unmetered disable all automatic updates and save precious bandwidth.

I think you're correct here that "micromanagement" in the article is a poor word choice.

It's unfortunate that so much writing (especially prescriptive writing) uses inaccurate terminology for the sake of effect. It's usually to the detriment of readers/listeners being able to soak in the wisdom that's there, as they get tripped up by the poor wording.

For example, I can 100% get behind the "Engineer" level advice for the "Micromanagement" section. (Namely, have a high bar of excellence, for example when reviewing others' code.)

But as you point out, this isn't really micromanagement.
It means you'd use the same tool since it's more convenient and get worse results in one tool vs. the other
Yeah, no, I'm glad that worked for you but this whole approach is anathema to me. Money and how happy I am in my own life are definitely correlated, and it's strongest at the bottom end.

The time of my life where I came closest to living on nothing were the 4 years where I was an unemployed NEET. Torrenting movies and eating day old rice got real old after a while. I'm considerably happier now that I kicked my ass into gear and am now making something valuable for my fellow man. That ascent is good reason to suspect my life will be even better if I can do things that drive even more

Now I've taken more than my share of risky moves in life after that period, and I intend to take more in the future. But saying "Well it's not risky to me, worst case scenario I'll just go back to rice and torrenting" is just not going to work for me, because I've been there before and it actually sucked. I'm no Diogenes. I find it's much better to fuel my actions from thinking about what an overwhelming success would look and feel like. Of course if I felt money and how happy I am in life were actually uncorrelated, then not only would failing the die roll suck immensely, but winning the die roll wouldn't actually make my life any better. Why play the game at all in that case? Luckily, in my experience, that latter part just isn't true at all.
Advocating for graphql as a red flag. I like it.
By "verified" you mean OAI gave a bunch of documents to WaPo where the anonymous actress's anonymous agent said the actress had said things to him?

WaPo has not spoken to the actress.

And the agent claims that they both have to remain anonymous due to "fears for her safety".

I think we have different definitions of "verifiably".
I bet many businesses would love that. More places of employment start acting like Walmart, where you have to be management to get a full time job with benefits. Everyone else has a shifting 30-35 hour schedule that makes it effectively impossible to have a predictable, normal life outside of work. And no benefits for part time workers either. And the pay is so crappy food stamps are practically mandatory.
Great video. Tesla cars would just be so much better with these, it's kind of infuriating.

(Also the rear cross alert pings from my old (MT Sedan) Mazda 3 Astina '14 is something I miss greatly.)

Having said that, the wipers in my LR3'22 work pretty well and I am not really giving it that much thought.

I keep the area clean and wipe the blades down regularly. I do like how easy it is to engage the wiper service mode to be able to lift the blades; no manual required.

There was a time when perhaps I didn't keep the area that clean and found I couldn't really use cruise control on a highway drive without the wipers going nuts in the dry, fortunately it's been a while since I've experienced that - upgraded behaviour, perhaps.

Yes! I dream of traffic that moves and integrates seamlessly almost like a school of fish, because of near-instant communication between vehicles - an automotive hive mind.

Still, a person can dream.
>Some of these faked results have been obvious and silly. Others have implied that we returned dangerous results for topics like leaving dogs in cars, smoking while pregnant, and depression.

Meanwhile "add glue to your cheese" was a real result, which I guess was not Google "returning a dangerous result" because they specified that the glue should be non-toxic. Not really sure how obvious smoking while pregnant should be after that.

In October 1967, the officers and crews of all fourteen ships met on the Melampus to found the "Great Bitter Lake Association" which provided mutual support. Crew members continued to regularly meet on board their ships, organized social events, founded a yachting club and held the "Bitter Lake Olympic Games" to complement the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Life boat races were arranged and soccer games were played on the largest ship, the MS Port Invercargill, while church services were held on the West German motorship Nordwind and movies were shown on the Bulgarian freighter Vasil Levsky. The Swedish Killara had a pool.

America has officially crossed a line we won’t be able to come back from. How sad to see our justice system be politicized to this extent. There’s playing dirty politics and then there’s what just happened here.

Personally, I’ve never been more sure of whom I’m going to vote for than I am today.

One size does not fit all. It would be a waste of time and effort to architect (or redesign) an app just because a residual subset of potential users might find themselves on a boat in the middle of the Pacific.

Let's keep things in perspective: some projects even skip testing WebApps on more than one browser because they deem that wasteful and an unjustified expense, even though it's trivial to include them on a test matrix, and this is a UI-only.
4 day work weeks will be for the elite. While those in service jobs will probably end up with two 30 hour a week jobs. The definition for full time won’t change, but skilled workers will get full time benefits at 32 hours, everyone else will continue to get screwed.

It’s kind of like unlimited PTO. It sounds good on paper but some people will receive outsized benefits compared to others.

Case insensitive is how humans think about names. “John” and “New York” are the same identifiers as “john” and “new york”. It would be pretty weird if someone insisted that their passport is invalid because the name is printed in all caps and that’s not their preferred spelling.

IMO the best thing would be to call Unix-style case-sensitive file names something else. But it’s obviously too late for that.
