I'm not sure how your last sentence about foreigners relates to the rest of your comment. 3/5 of the influential people you mentioned were not Austrian. (implying that the intellectual ferment was partially due to a mix of foreign and diverse ideas).
I am reminded of the feature that Powerbooks used to have when they still had spinning rust disks, which was to emergency-park the disk heads if they ever detected zero-G which meant they were falling.

No, OIDC is not an Evolution of OAuth. One does authentication, the other authorization. Two very different, but often intertwined concepts, where that both can also be used without requiring the other.
I took a strange career jump recently into FPGA engineering with a focus on Ethernet. It's been a fun journey, which culminated in me finally designing my own Hard MAC IP and sending a packet over some custom PHY IP. I'd highly recommend it for those looking to try a "Hard Mode" version of this challenge. I feel like networking is very abstracted from users, so understanding how Ethernet cards, modems and switches put together and pull apart sections of packets, and how the PHY/PCS recovers signals over a link was really valuable.
Thanks for the info I will try to figure it out for more. https://www.prepaidgift-balance.com

I was wondering when it would happen, actually.
No icons in my desktop (window manager, fluxbox). It's the UI I'm used since... too many years to count.

Custom keys to launch the most used apps.

Alt+F2 to launch less used apps.

And... the big star... one of my reasons for stay in fluxbox for so many years, the custom menu (right click anywhere in the root background, left click in the corner of the toolbar, or custom key to launch the menu).

Custom menu that can make includes, oh yeah, can be updated via cron/systemd-timer/scripts, etc so you can have a hierarchical menu to all your machines, by project, by datacenter, by service, IPMI, ssh, remote desktop... always up to date (i.e. from ansible-inventory). Or you can have your browser boomarks in the menu (with the same folder hierarchy). Or you can implement your own RSS in the menu via cron. Anything you can imagine.

For me, hierarchy > 2D positioning, and "desktop" != root folder for any "data".

Last step of my weird, non mainstream setup, is the all my data is not in my home, but it's in /data/myuser (in a partition separated from the OS), in folders like backup, docs, downloads, media, src, vms which are linked to my home. All dot files that I care are under my custom config management system (sh script + git), and all the data is in /data (+backups). Why I mention this? it's on topic... some apps try hard to use the "desktop" directory. So I have this bit just for them:

$ grep DESKTOP .config/user-dirs.dirs
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/docs/desktop"

Because why the hell a browser need to mkdir ~/Desktop or ~/Downloads for nothing.

My app launching shortcuts/menu are very well organized and optimized. My data is in /data. I live without the "desktop is everything/anything/chaos-thing" seen in many people machines, and I'm happy.

When I've used other's OSs with a desktop full of icons, I dislike specially not being able to make the exact placement because of auto alignment.

If I used desktop+icons, would like something like diagramming apps: "Let me place things exactly where I want, but, let me align groups of selected items, horizontally and vertically, via context menu/shortcut when selected".
The reason the US doesn't have things like universal healthcare is not because of defense spending. The US already spends twice as much as the OECD average on healthcare, and has worse outcomes. The money already exists for a better system but the political will does not.
I mean, if you're a _social network_, then, "ooh, we're beating the newspaper's app in downloads" is probably not where you want to be; that's really a bit of a consolation prize.

While this works, it’s mostly useful for storing naturally curled wires/hoses. The downside is it becomes twisted again by pulling straight.

The “accordion” method actually counteracts knotting because it forms a sort of an amorphous spring that is unstable outwards rather than inwards (careless winding) or just being stable (twisting). I find it more useful as it never twists and tends to decay into a straight wire by itself. But ymmw, cause it tends to be all over the place in your pocket/drawer/etc. also doesn’t work for hoses cause they deteriorate at sharp folds.

The moral is just know your methods and where they apply and if that suits you the best.

Can these blocked phones make phone calls over VoWiFi?
My word there's a lot of phone-shaming going on in these comments. Apart from the fact that this is a joke product, you guys should consider letting people use their phones in bed if they damn well want to. It's not your problem.
We had a problem with a solution from a large international supplier. While doing an external audit (pentesting), we came across vulnerabilities and the possibility of ‘breaking’ the system as a whole (apart from the fact that natively the system did not support service-mesh, which was required by the client...). So, to mitigate the open vulnerabilities and add service-mesh (sort of), we used Apache (httpd), but writing the configuration and figuring out how to patch it well was driving me crazy. That's why this solution was created, if I'm honest it took me a week to write it, which is about the time I had to solve the problem described earlier. I got the green light from my superiors for something of my own and that's how this project came about. Plus the fact that I wanted to see how rusty my Python was :)
Ok, you can hold to the position that no-one has a fundamental right to enjoyment of their sexual and romantic lives and that governments can pass arbitrary laws restricting sex. I will not argue with you about the validity of that position as it's a tangent.

The point here is that the US and most other democracies don't work like that. Any law banning heterosexual sex would surely be struck down as unconstitutional. You, presumably, would be the lone voice in the wilderness insisting that the crazy law ought to be enforced on democratic grounds. But I suspect that you hold this position largely because it enables you to give a cute "yes" answer to my rhetorical question :)

It's also a bit unclear what you're actually calling for here. Are you really in favor of anti-sodomy laws being enforced unless and until they are repealed? This isn't an academic question. Real people's lives would be destroyed were this to happen.

Yeah. Interesting territory, discussing this.
Took me a couple reads to put this one together. Based on that you mention being able to see they're associated with someone else's account, you mean that you got a unit that was not factory reset before being given to you right? (And you can't do it yourself because they're Apple-locked for theft reasons.) Not that it got stolen and now you can't find it?

Then you say you went to the store, were given a replacement, and it turned out the same. You didn't try out in the store whether these ones are functional? Which makes sense because why wouldn't they be, but could have saved the trouble. You haven't tried going back to that store, perhaps even at the same time and day of week so that you are likely to get the employee who remembers that they provided support in this situation (by handing out a replacement unit, in this case)? Then you could immediately try out, before taking it out of the store, whether this unit is functional

Either way, they have an obligation to meet the claims put out in marketing statements, including features like FindMy since they say on the website it can do that. If you've exhausted the easy options, you can always take it to something like small claims and get at least a refund that way. Often, a letter saying you intend to suffices
PanCake 1.1 – Open-source text-based tasks manager
I have the feeling if the US just raised their hands in the air at a Chinese invasion, most of Taiwan would probably choose to roll with China.

Even if the machinery is effectively destroyed, the talent pool could be enough to accelerate rebuilding the technology in China, so that scenario is I think damaging to the US/the west to a degree that exceeds the Ukraine conflict many folds.
This reads as an AI-generated text that is very emotional but provides few meaningful technical details (no examples, unrelated APIs, ConfigureAwait - really now?).
Of course

Thats why US & EU Chips Act are a thing and Intel is building fabs.
I wonder how Caspian Sea levels looks on a graph over a longer time span (haven't found one quickly).

In 1970s there was a project to connect rivers Pechora and Kama [1] to redirect water flow and increase levels of the Caspian Sea which were declining at that time. The project was abandoned but the Caspian sea levels started to increase in late 70s and 80s even without geoengineering.

Why US big tech wouldnt buy it? It is just that manufacturing has to be on Taiwan's soil.
The Floaster (TM) - New!... from Blammo!
Well if we look at it as "standing all day" vs "sitting all day" maybe yeah doesn't make much difference.

So having an option to switch position between sitting and standing during the day, like work standing for an hour then work sitting for next one is definetly still better than one or the other.

Also while I work standing I do see I move much more like moving weight from one side to the other where while sitting I can just stay in one position for much longer.
Well, I guess those options are all for the 'lesser' designers out there (yes, I read the article, that states a solution in which the phone is held by something else then an arm).

The main problem I see with the approach of the designer in this case is that when the phone is held closer to the face (i.e. when one does not need reading glasses), the 'shield' needs to drop quicker, which gives me shivers. (Yes, association with a Guillotine)

Ah, but where's the fun in that? While I agree on not taking that infernal device to bed I wholly disagree on the 'saving time/money/effort' part. I see this a bit like the way I treated games on the early home computers (C-64 in my case) on which I spent many hours trying to take them apart so as to rig the deck in my favour. Once I got them to render myself invincible - endless lives, invulnerable, maximum strength, etc - I did not spend much time in playing them since that is not where I got my motivation. It was the journey which motivated me, not the destination. I've designed and built devices to help me perform tasks which I could have done in as much time as it took me to design and build the utensils but again, where's the fun in that?

Does anyone have experience using an LLM to extract documentation from code?

Or are LLMs bad at it because we have too few good examples? :)
The problem with saying a thing and then assuming that people know you really mean another thing, is that some people will believe you the first time (because it's what they wanted to hear) and not be happy until you've delivered it.

See Brexit for how that all pans out.

Glad to see 64 bit wasm is beginning to take shape. I'm wondering how many years it will take until all major browsers support it.
> There is simply no way the west will always rely [...]

This is the "on an infinite timescale" argument I think. It's been decades now that we rely on Taiwan, and the estimate give a few more decades to catch up if we start getting real serious about it right now, assuming Taiwan doesn't keep its lead.

So yes, eventually things might change. But that won't be tomorrow, or the day after.
This is a project to compile Rust by GCC (a GCC frontend), not to write GCC in Rust. Same is valid for gccgo and GDC.

What Is Geospatial Data?
Curious about how we map cities, forests, and even track environmental changes? Geospatial data is the answer! This unique data type links information to real-world locations, transforming decision-making across sectors like urban planning, public health, agriculture, and more.

Our latest blog covers:

The different types of geospatial data (vector, raster, LiDAR) and what they’re used for.
How data is collected using satellites, drones, GPS, and crowdsourced contributions.
Real-world applications that show why geospatial data is so impactful.
Whether you're new to GIS or looking to deepen your expertise, this guide is packed with insights on how spatial data is shaping the future.
Elephants are really smart, and also quite emotional. They have been known to grieve, for very long periods of time, upon the death of babies or partners. Most animals get over it, fairly quickly.
I am very excited to have found this. It uses Talos Linux as image and offers tons of functionality. Seems to be a bit rough around the edges, but very promising.

Currently spawning my first cluster with it.
While this comment is a joke, it's tragicomically true as well.

Way too often have I encountered, or hacked in myself, such "business rules".

"Except for these seven transactions from before [random date/time] all transactions made between 01:00 and 01:15, with a round amount, are recurring payments to X. Can we not just use that instead of this data-migration that you've budgetted?" (not literal request, but close enough).

The danger -off course- lies in that this over time becomes actual business logic and that meaning is assigned to (meta)data that was never intended to carry such meaning.

The solution -I've found- starts with what DDD calls "ubiquitous language", where everyone (within a domain!) assigns the same meaning to the same things¹. And model the software around that, never the other way.

¹ So maybe there's a 150 year old rule that states that recurring transactions are those that happen between ...etc. etc. That this is actually a settled and used meaning within the domain experts/users/stakeholders. In that case - IMO - it's far better to lean into it rather than assign some is_recurring_for_x boolean or such that has no meaning in the domain.

This seems depressingly common amongst .NET devs in particular IME.
Think everything about the vote was; many of those youtube videos with guys going out to rallies asking 'so why are you for trump?' 'because x y z' 'but he never did that and actually said he will do the opposite' 'oh, ok' 'so does that change your mind?' 'no i don't care, as long as the current frauds lose and leave! trump is chosen by jesus!'.

It happened/happens in other countries too; people don't care (well, they think they don't) as long as the current 'experts', who they don't believe anymore since covid, are gone.

Do you think speed cameras don't make people speed less, and hence roads safer? I don't really understand your point here about a private operator wanting to maximise profit here.

Putting cameras in places where people are likely to speed so you can get more money would be directly correlated with being most impactful at reducing speeding. Another free market win in my mind.
Damn, sucks to be that guy who made the conscious decision to print the URL without even checking it once. Or maybe, he did it out of spite? I don't see any more reasons why.

I think it's quite normal for people to smile when happy about something, such as free software being an actually decent alternative currently, as I can also attest to

(Of course, whether a given person is capable of installing an OS manually (be it macOS or Linux Mint), is going to vary. You may have to ask a friend if what you want isn't pre-installed)
An interface, esp. when returned from a method, is the best way the define a limited contract. If you return the concrete class, you have the following potential issues:

- Very broad, unspecific contract that may even obscure the methods purpose

- You cannot modify the contract without modifying the class AND vice versa

- Shrinking a contract (taking away elements) is far harder and more likely to cause breakages in other code than growing a contract

- Mocks become more cumbersome because the contract is so broad

- Changes to the concrete class cause ripple effects in code that doesn't care about the change
That defeats the point of, well, being in bed.

No one is trying to do this. You're describing a fantasy world.

In your head it's a nightmare, because you don't understand how society works.
This guy is right. The OP might be completely truthful and not lying to himself, but the probability that he isn't is quite high. Same as reading someone calling himself a genius, might be true, but it rarely is.

Further posts clearly portray what one might call "McBuddhism", complete with meditation and the new age "don't judge others!". Judgement is an animal mechanism, it's your subconscious quickly putting people in boxes to ascertain their intentions and reliability then your conscious refining that rough estimate. You can't "turn off" judgement, only keep it inside.

Once again, people being misled around by emotions and tone. Judgement is a tool, it's not good or bad by itself, what matters is its accuracy, i.e. truth.

I think when it's about an intellectually and culturally rich capital/world city, SF would not make the cut even among such cities of the USA, let alone the world.

My Apple Watch ended up in a store somewhere. It just happened to be in the same cart as their order and they took the whole cart.

Kinda wondered why my package showed up as "delivered" and it was signed by definitely NOT me.

That was a fun thing to unravel.
It's not (only) the high-taxes on the local high-income people that have kept Vienna (and Austria as a whole) still in the game, it's also the fact that they did a sort of economic imperialism throughout Eastern Europe after the Wall fell/the Cold War ended and they (Vienna and Austria) have managed to live off that bounty for pretty much the whole time. I'm talking oil companies, banks, wood-processing groups, even construction companies, all getting a piece of the Eastern-European very big pie and repatriating lots and lots of profits.

Trouble is, the war in Ukraine means that both the Ukrainian and Russian markets are now off-limits for them, and the rest of Eastern Europe to which they used to have privileged access to (meaning Romania, from where I'm from, and the Balkans) is starting to "fight" back, so to speak, I'm talking about local capitalists + other foreign (non-Austrian) groups that have become confident and knowledgeable enough in these local markets in order to drive the Austrians out.

Other than that, yeah, Vienna is a wonderful city but a little bit cold for my taste (which is reason enough not to place it in the number one spot as for the "liveability" standings). Its tramway network is top-notch, though, one of the few "Western" European cities that can still say that about their trams, kudos to them for that (it probably helps that, half-jokingly speaking, Austrians are Slavs that happen to speak German so it makes sense that they havent't gotten rid of their trams, just look at the Czechs and the Slovaks next door who also have wonderful tram networks still running).
Maybe an automatic height adjustable table could work?
The phrasing around events is especially weird given that “non-commercial” would only imply “free to attend” in some sort of communist utopia where venues, catering, transfer and other stuff you need to actually host an event is free. The only kind of event this policy allows without an explicit approval is “get a beer with friends and talk about Rust”, and only if the price of the beer doesn’t count.
