>I'd assume after Brexit the UK would require local presence?

The UK copied the GDPR wholesale, the EU accepted a reciprocal arrangement based on this, so Brexit hasn't materially changed the situation.

Lmao nobody truly earns that much money, it's theft from the people, plain and simple.

Sure, DV me tech bros. You all create the foundation for all the MBAs and C levels to make 10x more than even you do, people who don't even understand the tech behind the product. Yet y'all think it's a great deal bc you're still richer than the "poors". Wealth inequality is going to eat the world very soon.
To do this you need a cozy relationship with the satellite launch regulator in your country of operation.
No mention of LLMs?! Interesting.

The majority of configuration options in Windows Terminal are hidden in JSON. The GUI only exposes a fraction. They are doing work to expose more options in the GUI though.

Having tried various alternatives for prolonged periods, it is currently IMHO the best option when you have to work on Windows.

Mac and Linux options are just vastly ahead.
> Tel homme passe sa vie sans ennui en jouant tous les jours peu de chose. Donnez-lui tous les matins l’argent qu’il peu gagner chaque jour, à la charge qu’il ne joue point : vous le rendez malheureux. On dira peut-être que c’est qu’il recherche l’amusement du jeu, et non pas le gain. Faites-le donc jouer pour rien, il ne s’y échauffera pas et s’y ennuiera. Ce n’est donc pas l’amusement seul qu’il recherche : un amusement languissant et sans passion l’ennuiera. Il faut qu’il s’échauffe et qu’il se pipe lui-même, en s’imaginant qu’il serait heureux de gagner ce qu’il ne voudrait pas qu’on lui donnât à condition de ne point jouer, afin qu’il se forme un sujet de passion, et qu’il excite sur cela son désir, sa colère, sa crainte, pour l’objet qu’il s’est formé, comme les enfants qui s’effrayent du visage qu’ils ont barbouillé.

I wouldn't be so sure about this, this might depend on the personality of the player. Some might think that introducing monetary stakes in fact ruins the game itself. And you can even take it further : the winning itself might become secondary - at which point playing the game is probably more akin to a form of artistic expression, infused with a different kind of meaning. (There are also games where you win, but in cooperation with others rather than against others.)

But then this passage also reminded me of this recent thread :

A stream is timeline based serial content (like twitter "following"). A garden is exploratory, with content not being serial in time.
Net neutrality is crucial for a free internet. This will be even more important for the future, because without it we will have tighter and tighter controls over the internet. A lack of neutrality will, among other things, allow secret deals between service providers and big platforms that will squeeze out the independent internet and accelerate a total commercialization of all aspects of the internet.

Large businesses are becoming a greater liability than ever before. Although I applaud net neutrality advocates, something greater must be done: the takedown of large corporations and rebuilding them from scratch.
> some agency needs to be put forward as a candidate for preventing monopolistic corporations from abusing the public Internet.

Agreed. May as well be a dedicated one, as well, to avoid any confusion (although I cringe at the likely billion dollar cost of even a "Hello World" federal agency). Pity that would require an Act of Congress, or rather, it's appropriate that it requires that since we're a republic. It's a pity Congress is itself a failure which appears to have no route to functioning again.
The property owner/manager gives you a call and says hey are you throwing a party
Decaying body might be one of the toughest arguments there, which unless we find a way to stop this, my solution would be to have kids and develop them instead of myself. Since I do like competitive sports and it is kind of hard to accept that at some point I am no longer going to be able to improve.

It may be the case that once I reach complete and comfortable financial independence it will not be all I expected it to be, but right now I don't see myself not appreciating the hell out of it, however I am sure plenty of people have thought they would be happy when reaching X goal and they either weren't or it was fleeting. I do have to say that so far I have come a long way from where I used to be from what I consider a hopeless position.

But there is a difference in my view whether you can walk in the park knowing that you don't have any potentially stressful responsibilities and problems coming up or you are walking in the park and excited about working on a hobby project of yours since you can 100 percent focus on that.
Downloaded it, tried it and immediately uninstalled it. I'm not sure why you need my birthday or my gender identity. I also think that it's silly that you need to have friends using it to use it. There's no way I'm inviting friends to use an app that I can't really use until I've already invited friends.
That's simply not true. RISC-V cores, SoCs, and boards perform very comparably to even better than Arm devices with similar µarch e.g. SiFive U74 vs Arm A55, SiFive P550 vs Arm A72, THead C906 vs ARM1176.

While Arm CPUs have existed for 40 years, the initial RISC-V spec was frozen and formally published only in mid 2019 and most of the CPUs currently available to buy were designed around that time.

This is quite normal. For example the Arm A76 core that features in the latest Raspberry Pi 5 and RK3588 boards (Rock 5, Orange Pi 5) was announced in May 2018, and took until 2022/3 to be available in consumer SBCs. The A53, A55, and A72 had similar time spans from announcement until being available in SBCs: Pi 3 / Odroid C2; Odroid C4; Pi 4.

Only in November 2024 was a RISC-V ISA spec suitable for high performance phones, laptops, desktops, servers frozen and published: RVA23. Cores meeting this spec and with expected performance comparable to Arm A78 up to maybe X2 have been announced, but it will be several years before they are available in products.

RISC-V is simply very very new. It is doing very well in the markets which it currently addresses.

> How are you achieving this in MacOS?

I don’t — I use Linux on my desktop. I stopped using macOS back when it was called System 8 or 9!

I think any tiling window manager can be configured to do this, but in my case I use StumpWM.

(defcommand terminal () ()
(run-or-raise "urxvt" '(:instance "urxvt")))

(define-key *top-map* (kbd "s-t") "terminal")

With the above, when one types Super t then the terminal either is raised to the top, or starts (and runs on top).

From others’ comments, I think that this is probably possible with a modern Mac, too, but I find that Linux is generally easier.

StumpWM: https://stumpwm.github.io/
I agree with the conclusion

> With React and TypeScript, it’s like being in the middle of a megapolis: there are many, many things that are possible, but it’s noisy and overwhelming.

I love the ecosystem. There are hundreds of headless component libraries, amazing new tools (Tanstack start), but I keep forgetting how much friction there is when working on a fullstack JS/TS project.

I find credo much more pleasant than eslint. Especially the eslint 9 upgrade was very annoying. I also get annoyed when I have to combine eslint and prettier on a new project for example. Frameworks work nicely, until they break (remix + multitenancy, adonisjs with graphql, nextjs with anything).

Elixir is simpler, much compact, but it's not better. The javascript ecosystem is a victim of its success.
You asserted that author hasn't "learned" anything from this bug in a drive-by comment that starts with "Only if they actually ~". I can assure you that's incredibly condescending.

It's uncalled for too. iTerm2 has a good track record responding to user issues, even obscure ones involving Japanese input. The dev even listened to the demands of trolls who raided the issue tracker from Mastodon [1]. Security fixes are released quickly. Nothing about the project warrants the kind of cheap dismissal in display all over this thread.

You mentioned emotional attachment twice in this thread as reason some people have problems with dismissive, aggressive, or mean comments against iTerm2. No, it's basic empathy and appreciation for the thankless work going into this FOSS project.

This just doesn't make sense. Google wont disallow fingerprinting on companies using ITS advertising technology. I think accountability gets exhausted pretty quickly on this just by thinking about the implications. If UK gov (or any other) enforces a blanket ban on google ads to prevent this problem, where exactly does the issue lie ? This is not like someone selling syringes being accountable for someone putting toxins into the syringe, this is someone who already has a line into a main blood vessel saying they wont prevent someone from putting toxins in. Big, Big difference, they have the privilege of access and wont prevent other people abusing it. This is on google, pure and simple
So it would appear that this structure would be fully compliant if placed 50m further. That's less than a second's difference. The plane would crash into it at the same speed, just a tiny bit later.

OP is 100% right that many, many things must have gone wrong for the position of this structure to remotely matter (human or mechanical errors).
Oh yeah I love living in the city. Drinking and partying in clubs with hundreds of people in a tiny place (so masks really won't help anyway) until 6am. My life is not very healthy I know, but it's very exciting which is also important.

There was a commercial in Holland saying "If you have to watch your life flash before your eyes one day, you'd better make sure it's not going to be boring!". I subscribe to that, although the ad was for the army which I wouldn't find exciting at all :)

But I know many people who love the quiet life. I lived in a small town for a decade but it made me feel so restricted, I deeply hated it. People vary! And I don't have a family even at my age so I'd be pretty lonely outside the city.
I used this once, completely unrelated to version control, to visualise the number of referrals my dept had received over time (broken down but year and month) to visually show the growth of referrals and why we needed more people to manage the influx.

Was it cool? Yes. Did it show the issue in an easily to understand way anyone could understand? Yes. Did it change anything? Hell no.
One thing he does is “trying to be Elon” in robotics. (But what impressive things has Elon or his underlings done in in robotics? Or just outside of Spacex?) Because the “world is going through a labor shortage”. So the save the world shtick here is to solve propaganda-problem (fake) of there being a labor shortage, in other words get rid of needing workers. I bet that will change the world for the better in this time of massive inequality.

Then he wants to work for the upcoming US government spearheaded by two billionaire robber barons, one of which made his fortunes by pump and dumping a worthless Alzheimer drug. The other one has a very suspect track record and is a very big government contractor (but for some reason we don’t call people like him oligarchs). “Government is dysfunctional”. So let’s, as billionaires (and financially independent multi-millionaires) take a sledgehammer to government and remake it how we want it to be. Oh boy. And attract all the “smartest” people to this project.[1]

I’m not afraid that some small number of financially independent, Scrooge McDuck ideologue techbros have the power to make the world significantly worse (although it is a bit concerning). I’m also not upset that they don’t plan to do something “philantphtropic” (i.e. main dish of ego-stroking and PR with a side-dish of actual good work). And I’m not upset that they don’t go into something hands-on with a direct positive impact on people’s lives (c.f. “solving the labor shortage”) by volunteering themselves.

I’m just upset that these ideologues just don’t spend their money on one or five yachts, a private plane, their friends/family/entourage, and leave the rest of the world the fuck alone.

[1] “All the brightest minds of my generation who venerate Musk and billionaire-world problems like “labor shortage” are going to work for robber barons in order to dismantle the US goverment...” wait maybe these people are not the brightest lightbulbs after all.
Doctolib is a doctor appointments scheduling system widely used throughout Germany.

So take that they are "transforming how health professionals and patients interact with technology" with a massive grain of salt, even if all germany used it every single day you could run the entire operation on a medium ec2 instance with a single RDS instance.

Bleeding edge stuff.

The tl;dr here is they also don't want to have to pay to outsource their support staff, so they're paying openai or someone else instead.

So amaze. Much wow.
That sounds great, but I'm not changing my entire operating system just so I can have a possibly marginally better terminal emulation experience.
If sunlight can reach the forest floor then so can LIDAR.

An airframe with a LIDAR device scatter shots a medium angle "spotlight" of pulses at high frequency downwards within an arc area of angles (straight down, a bit to the left, a bit to the right, a bit forward, etc.)

Of the tens of thousands of 'RAW' data points many reflect from top canopy leaf cover, many penetrate further, a lesser number reach the ground.

All the raw points are pipeline processed and the floor() of penetration is extracted from the fuzzy cloud that represents the canopy as a whole.

Ancient banks, levels, roads, et al show up where not eroded as per the image in the article.
I remember the intense response to the FCC repealing Obama era net neutrality rules on 2017.

The proponents of NN argued all these anti consumer and anti competitive practices that this will cause. It was framed as getting ahead of some of these abusive practices.

Now it's 7 years later. I haven't followed it closely but personally have not noticed many harmful or obvious exploiting of the removal of NN.

Am I just not seeing it? Do I have to wait longer? Were they waiting for this to become more permanent? What am I missing?

While the situation with tracking in the West is awful, there's a huge difference between having a choice, however impractical, and being spied on in secret.
> Doesn't really matter if you pay for this to your ISP or to them via Netflix.

Of course it matters.

If my ISP demands an extra $1 from me, I can move to a different ISP.

If my ISP demands an extra $1 from Netflix, Netflix can't move me to a different ISP.

That's pretty important, as our whole economy is built on the assumption that raising prices lowers demand.
Guess I'm not a human, I got owned by the imps because I assumed left and right would be strafing instead of turning.
U.S. Stock Market Returns – a history from the 1870s to 2024
Indeed, I've met many of them and worked with some of them. One of the main devs for this webapi project, who is a delight to work with, was just laid off sadly.

Just for some additional context, the main library used by all these packages is SPICE, a C library written and maintained by JPL. https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/aboutspice.html

It dates back to 1982, IIRC. And yeah, as mentioned you can still telnet in and check your calculations using their reference implementation.

The C library has been wrapped many times, but remains the main implementation at the core, and is used by a ton of missions and spacecraft for determining sun up/down times, pointing angles for heavenly bodies, time and precise keeping, etc etc.

I used it here to determine the relative angle of the sun at one of my favorite spots on the moon: https://api.jodavaho.io/s/readme

The software reads "kernel" files, which are very precise tables of positions over time, shape, etc, and can output just about anything you'd want to know about the layout of the solar system with precision good enough for whatever you'd want. Publishing a new kernel file is an infrequent, but fairly major affair, afaict.

It's a really fascinating look at what is required to do business in space. I recommend someone peruse their training materials for answers to questions you never thought about like: "If you want to view a crater during sunrise to get the nice shadows, what do you even mean "sunrise"?" which gets weird to answer because of speed of light and cosmic distances.
I’ve never shared my specific financial details with any friend, before or after, so perhaps a different definition of what it means to be a friend. I haven’t bought a bunch of expensive crap that would give it away.

Overbooking and oversubscription are inherently very different.

Flying is a one-time service with a specific and fixed point at which the service is provided. Its peak usage is the expected usage.

Internet access is a continuous service promise where it's nonsensical to expect the provider to predict exactly when every customer would want to use it. The peak usage is not the expected usage.

These are not comparable situations.
I'd be more similar to Debezium-server that runs everything in the same process, than regular KafkaConnect-based Debezium.

However, this only does postgres-postgres, so it's a lot more limited compared to Debezium.
That's a hopeful thought. I really hope people will start to realize that what they're doing now - sending jackasses to Congress with a mandate to never compromise and to do whatever is necessary to absolutely destroy (insert opposite party) at all costs - is not compatible with a functioning government, and just as importantly, that having a functioning government would be a good thing.
The irony of calling other people NPCs is that a player character in a computer game barely has any more freedom. All the possible actions and end states are pre-designed and scripted.

If you think of yourself as “Player One”, you are literally thinking inside the box. The first step to freedom is to stop thinking about games and scores because they are not the world.
I have had multiple different life routines. Healthy fit, alcoholic, depression and self pity, video games no life, productivity hacking self help guru following, career climbing, start up attempting. Considering having been through all of these and knowing how each of them feel, I would hope I have enough experience and urge to opt for the healthy fit as baseline. I think it is still much easier to go for it having no work stress in life.
And so the dance takes on a new rhythm. These well-meaning advertising execs, working diligently to support their struggling stakeholders, now have a new string to their bow. And the rest of us, the targets of their magnanimous demand-creation algorithms, we will have 'new and improved' ways to learn about and connect with out favourite brands, outrageous headlines and memetic schemes.

And then there are the sneakier ones; those who dwell in digital shadow, hiding from the luminous glare of corporate glory. What will these funny fellows do, when the fingerprinters tap on their windows and ask for their papers? What of their intent, and the glasses they wear to shield their eyes from the money-grubbing rays?
Neurotic designers often misinterpret their personal affects as design decisions. If people don't care about the quality of something, maybe it's because it actually doesn't matter, no matter how much time you spent on it. Most websites are irrelevant, so colors and fonts aren't going to make much of a difference. When people actually need a thing to work, like a car engine, tools, a battery--they appreciate quality. When they value some artistic medium, they appreciate quality. Even this "nobody appreciates quality" writer doesn't appreciate the quality of something, somewhere, because every single thing can't matter to him. Why should it be surprising that people also don't appreciate every single effort that it is possible to make. Designers need to get over themselves. Maybe people don't appreciate the quality of their work simply because it doesn't matter to them, and that's actually a totally reasonable thing to do.
What exactly is the FTC going to do with Net Neutrality? In what way is what the FCC was trying to accomplish within the ability of the FTC to enact instead?
Pathetic. This is a failed education, producing classic "dumb money" that in a planet in dire straights with dire problems left and right, this clueless dope can't figure out how to keep himself satisfied. Boo hoo. If I were physically in the presence of this individual, verbal if not physical slaps to the face as I explain what their education failed: empathy and a sense of duty to others.

Isn't an alternative is to say, if you aren't treating all content the same - then you aren't a common carrier, you are a publisher and therefore responsible for the content?
