It also happens that pranksters can cancel your travel if your boarding passes make it on to Twitter or other social media. It's not a non-problem like you make it out to be.

Sure, it won't happen to you or me, because we know it is a risk to expose these documents, but that is not true of most people.

Maybe the DRM is not worth it. I actually think it's obnoxious for concert tickets (I recently had to deal with this system, and I was not thrilled about installing an app from a company that I think is using unfair business practices).
Is your argument that people should be unable to attend concerts/etc without presenting ID? I for one am not a fan of that idea

I've adopted the unusual habit of inverting my hours, waking at midnight, very productively working until ~6am. taking a nap, and screwing around the rest of the day. I usually need another brief nap in the afternoon.

For my lifestyle its been great, having daylight hours to do whatever and getting productive work out of the way when no one or nothing is around to disturb me.

Well, almost great. The problem with needing afternoon naps is that you will get caught up in things and not take them, this causes a form of sleep deprivation one doesn't really notice on account of the daylight.

I got baggy eyes and over time this has become somewhat dysfunctional.

Reversing or changing sleep patterns is very hard mentally and on the body. Despite really enjoying getting work done in the twilight hours, I do not recommended the grueling consequences of missing regular sleep.
A lot of the commentary here is based on misunderstandings of the capabilities and constraints of a UEFI environment and what the actual goals of this project are, and I think miss the mark to a large degree. Lennart's written some more explicit criticism at https://lwn.net/Articles/981149/ and I think that's a much more interesting set of concerns.
Very cool intro to the subject!
Yeah that's interesting - maybe I have some selection bias that leads me to a different sense.

I do think though that there's a relation between attitudes and policy that gets enacted. So I agree many people do think that the US healthcare system is the "best in the world" - but if everyone thought that, we would never have had Obamacare, and Medicare for All wouldn't be a thing. I think these policies being enacted/seriously discussed is evidence that there's a non-trivial number of people questioning the status quo.

Anyway, my overall point was that questioning the status quo is good for your country and reflexively defending it is bad, because then you don't find ways to improve it.
Sure, temperatures go outside those bounds, but only in the most extreme of weather conditions. Below zero? Above 100? You should probably stay inside today.
This is a bit confusing to me for a few reasons but makes sense if they meant "the datacenter" instead of "the nuclear plant"

Why would the datacenter care (w/r/t the ISA) if the nuclear plant had backup generation?

Moreover, the nuclear plant MUST have backup power because in the event of a grid failure causing a shutdown, the cooling pumps must continue to run for a specific period of time.

Modern reactor designs have made it so that reactors don't need as much cooling, or for as long, and can even use waste heat from the reactor for that purpose, or have designed things such that even without active cooling they "fail" in a safe way but none of these are good and a reactor needs backup power. No way the NRC or any sane designer/operator would allow a reactor without it.

If they are talking about the datacenter not being allowed to have "automatically running backup power generation" this still seems very odd to me. Why would the nuclear plant operators care if the datacenter has generators or not? It won't materially impact the amount of energy they buy and as long as the plants can supply power to the datacenter (regardless of which reactor its from) they won't even notice or care about it.

The whole situation seems unnecessarily obfuscated to me and it's very hard to see if it's a case of PJM being annoyed that this load will bypass their grid and therefore bypass their "tax" on it, or, a case where Talen and Amazon are trying to pull a fast one by relying on the grid without paying their fair share of grid costs.
Just curious, what are the main reasons you want a replacement?

You are ignoring the misalignment of user and developer needs that happens when the devs spend all their time adding new features that mean absolutely nothing to your process; in the pre-subscription days I would skip new versions of Illustrator that only added stuff for people who do text layout or whatever. Now I'm sitting here paying for them to spend an entire dev cycle fucking around with text-to-image generation garbage I have no use for, like it or not.
I was recently talking with a student at the small college I went to a couple decades ago and he said that many students go to a different, nearby college to party on the weekends. This was very surprising because we tended to look down on that college — our primary rival — when I was in school, and we never would have gone there to party. The student said the parties weren't much better, but that they wanted to avoid the possibility of doing something stupid and having it show up on social media that all their friends see.

I suggested that there could be a smartphone-free dorm, and students who live there would have to have dumb phones or no cell phones. Parties hosted there would have the same rules for all attendees. It would be like how there used to be non-smoking dorms for students and visitors who preferred to live in a smoke-free environment.
Can I ask how much life & social experience you have? If you're younger, this is something that will often just accrue over the normal course of time. Kids are usually worse at this than teenagers, who are also worse at it than young adults, who are also worse at it than middle-aged successful businessmen who've talked to a lot of different people. (Assuming they are all neurotypical, etc.)

The more you talk to people from different walks of life, the more kinds of interactions you learn to have (and hopefully become comfortable in). You also notice that there's a pretty wide range of "normal" for everything from eye contact to gestures and other body language. You don't have to hold a dead stare for multiple minutes. Doing so can make a lot of people feel uncomfortable, in fact, because like you said it can feel like a "power move" even if they didn't intend for that. Just a few seconds at a time, accompanied by the occasional nod or smile or soft "uh-huh", can be reassuring without being overly intense.

But even then, there will always be some people who don't like receiving (or giving) direct eye contact... it depends on culture, race, in-group vs out-groups, etc. too. Part of maintaining a "safe" amount of eye contact is learning to read the other person's cues and sensing whether it's adding to the interaction or just making them uncomfortable.

Eye contact is helpful when you're trying to show someone you're paying attention and listening to them (or maybe trying to woo/intimidate/dominate them, which hopefully you aren't). But it's best practiced as part of normal everyday conversations (across different topics and kinds of people), and really, it helps you convey genuine emotional reactions to things (like excitement or confusion or boredom).

You don't need to practice "how to stare someone down". It's not supposed to be a power move unless you're in prison or maybe a prison-like corporate boardroom, lol. It's just a subtle "yeah, I'm still here and still listening".

It might help also to analyze your own thoughts and feelings during (or immediately after) you have an interaction with someone where eye contact felt a certain way to you. Aside from the power move VCs, do you ever have interactions where someone else's eye contact just made you feel welcome? Loved? Shunned or judged? Flirted with? Appreciated as an equal? What else are they displaying at the same time in terms of tone of voice, facial expressions, body gestures, physical distance, etc.? It's usually not just a cold-eye serial killer stare, but a combination of things.

What about you yourself, when you give others eye contact... are you just listening? Are you trying to show rapt attention? Submission? Friendliness? Openness? It might help to put it all in context.

IMO what you're trying to communicate is a complete message, like "I'm interested in what you're saying and curious enough to think about it as you're talking", not "I am able to force my eyes open and maintain a gaze at you because I'm more powerful". That's just a dick move, so don't try to do (or practice) that, lol.
Hoping that somebody takes on Sketchup, Autocad etc with a similar approach to licensing. Subscriptions suck for tools you use occasionally.

Americans aren't required to have an ID, but that is only relevant to government related services. Private businesses like concert venues are within their rights to card you in some manner, and refuse admittance if you don't provide ID.

I’m a bit confused by the monitoring described. Event loop lag is insidious because it doesn’t affect only the slow part of your app, it affects everything: one small part of a request takes seconds, making every concurrent request take seconds. Generally, i found that when the event loop is having lag issue, you can’t really trust much of your application monitoring (OTel spans are very long, but it’s actually just waiting for the event loop). How then did find the root causes of these lag issues?

As an aside, it’s a bit weird to create a span to mark that something happened, OTel events are made for that

Nvidia Shield was one of the best purchases I ever made. I also never made the mistake of updating it like the author of the above article. If something works, and does everything you want it to do, you should never "update" it unless it is absolutely necessary. More often than not these "updates" only serve to restrict the device you own or inject more ads and spyware.

I don't think any of your arguments are left unexplored. They are inadequate to absolve Boeing of wrongdoing. The idea about unions sharing some blame is especially absurd and the suggestion of it makes your post very difficult to take seriously. Even if unions caused Boeing to become unprofitable, they are blameless in the decisions that led to the crashes.

> Citation needed. Particularly if you're talking about federal inmates, state, or both.

I'm talking about both, but here: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2024.html

> It's disingenuous (re: primacy bias) to lead off with murder and rape, which account for a far smaller portion of "violent" crime than robbery (which I assume includes burglary, in which the victim and perpetrator don't make contact) and assault (which, again, does not require the victim and perpetrator to physically make contact (that's battery)).

From the above source, within state prisons (which is the majority of incarcerated Americans), 163,000 are serving sentences for murder, 168,000 for rape, 128,000 for robbery and 154,000 for assault. So technically I should have led off with rape instead of murder; my bad.

You are technically correct that assault doesn't require the victim and perpetrator to make contact. For instance, pointing a loaded gun at somebody (outside of self defense) is considered aggravated assault. On the other hand, many states do not actually have separate assault and battery statutes, and the two seem to be classified together under "assault".

Conversely, robbery and burglary are separated (burglary is categorized as a property crime rather than a violent crime). In addition to the 128,000 prisoners convicted of robbery, there are another 79,000 who were convicted of burglary.

> All of this is aside fact that an individual who allegedly commits a heinous act against another person or small group of people is in a completely different class from a large corporation whose products put millions at risk (and the executives and managers who sign off on those company's decisions). There is quite the destructive myopia behind the increasingly punitive (rather than rehabilitative) nature of incarceration for the former, when the latter get off so easy.

The 737 Max has caused a total of 346 fatalities in two crashes taking place in 2018 and 2019, neither of which took place inside US jurisdiction but let's set that aside for the sake of argument. Chicago alone had 592 homicides in 2018, 521 in 2019, 798 in 2020, 856 in 2021, 738 in 2022, 648 in 2023, and 312 year-to-date, (source: heyjackass.com) nearly all of which were committed by the sort of neighborhood ne'er-do-wells who sometimes end up getting mass-incarcerated. You tell me which is the bigger problem. Personally I wouldn't mind a legal system in which someone at Boeing could be held criminally liable for manslaughter (which accounts for another 20,000 state-level inmates in the United States), but I don't think Boeing's planes are a statistically significant cause of wrongful death.

The whole point of single purchase, that people here ask for all the time, is that you pay once and get a product.

Nothing that is happening changes that contract. If they go against their perpetual license promise, your existing one will still be valid "perpetually."

That's the whole trade: monthly or annual subscriptions give you the flexibility to react to changes to the product. One time payments don't get changes so no need to react.
I think you are mixing cataloging software with photo editing one. Photoshop/Photo only editing. DigiKam mostly catalogue. Lightroom is pretty good at both.

Does Windows not ensure that the UEFI boots back into Windows when it does an auto-reboot for updates? There's a UEFI variable called BootNext which Windows already knows how to use since the advanced startup options must be setting it to allow rebooting directly to the UEFI settings.

Given that Windows tries to restore open windows to make it look like it didn't even reboot, I'm surprised they wouldn't make sure that the reboot actually goes back into Windows.

I have definitely had Google be rather confused about its directions, telling me to take the first exit on a roundabout when it meant the second exit, on more than one roundabout that has been there unchanged for decades. Then there'll be the times when I get to a T-junction and it's completely silent, or when it tells me to go straight ahead, then makes that annoyed "you went the wrong way" sound when I do because it actually meant "turn right", and the times it takes me on a "shortcut" that takes twice as long. The directions suck probably about 20% of the time, but I have certainly seen no shenanigans like the ones described in the article.
If you had to "look it up" to remember that 32°F is freezing (or that 212°F is boiling), then you clearly didn't "live with Fahrenheit" long enough to have developed even the most basic intuitions for it. That's first-grade stuff.

I liked the aspect of it where you get an idea, and then work on it to get a result, and then a major result, supporting figures etc.; and while this rigidity in finishing the ideas one starts may not be optimal there's at least an element of it which could motivate people to finish things first, before moving on.

I think this is often useful. Maybe it's obvious, but it can be very tempting to develop ideas, or develop new shiny results, when you still have other ideas that haven't yet been turned into definite packages of well-supported results.

I hate to break it to you, but you are only a tiny fraction of the users of something like Roku. The software isn't developed for individual users, it's developed according to a product roadmap, which is itself driven by the behavior of the largest and most profitable cohort of users.

If you don't fall into that category, you don't have a choice. Things that may be irritating or upsetting to you, if they make money or drive some number that helps a manager get a promotion internally, you're simply out of luck when it comes to software.

Products aren't built for individual users, they are built for massive collections of users that generate revenue.
I cannot agree more. And this is exactly why the old Google motto of "don't be evil" was so important. And the decline of Google is highly correlated with the removal of this motto from its culture.

I sincerely hope all tech companies can take a page from old Google and truly instill an innate rejection of evil among all software engineers.

I can't confirm what they said, but TicketMaster does have a "partner" reseller program for scalpers where they have tools to help scalpers list and manage resale tickets in bulk. They also have events where they help teach scalpers how to make more money, which is good for TicketMaster since it makes even more money on secondary sales. Ticket scalping used to be illegal, and now TicketMaster is helping facilitate it.

Source: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ticketmaster-resellers-las-...

Scalping aside, TicketMaster is taking massive fees each time the same ticket is sold. For example, I went to an event last year and the fee was $50 on each ticket, and these were reseller tickets so TicketMaster had already taken a fee on each of those tickets at least once already (perhaps more than once).

TicketMaster also owns many venues or has exclusive deals with most large venues that prevent those venues from using any other ticket selling platform. The DOJ is currently investigating this monopoly. TicketMaster alleges it is not a monopoly since there are many smaller venues that they are not involved with.

There has to be aligned interest and feedback mechanisms for that to work. Otherwise there will be no reasons for publishers to not take 99% cuts for the subscription.
So you are saying people don’t deserve the right to build on public ideas without, ultimately, having armed men use violence to take money from them or forbidding them altogether?

Because remember when you say an author “deserves” to be paid you are saying the state should use its monopoly on violence to make that happen.

Perhaps it’s best not to use straw men and loaded terms designed to emotionally appeal to five year olds when discussing enclosure of the intellectual commons?

I'm not sure this is true. Most (~80%) large venues are owned and operated by Live Nation, who also owns Ticketmaster. They also have exclusivity agreements with hundreds of others.

It's, in effect, a shell operating as a scalper and a customer service disruptor. This has very little to do with the artist beyond selecting venues.
