That confused me too. Made me a little angry when I was looking for something in Documents. I went to Users\username\Documents and the data wasn't in that folder. Turns out Windows maintained two Documents folders. That one + OneDrive\Documents.

I had uninstalled OneDrive the first time I used this laptop. But that wasn't enough. I had to reinstall OneDrive. Turn off folder backups. Unlink the PC from OneDrive. Then uninstall it again. That fixed the two Documents folders problem. OneDrive\Documents went away and the contents put back into Users\username\Documents.

A fairly frustrating experience and wasted about an hour troubleshooting it.
A crime can be just about anything that the current government doesn't like, for any reason.

The first thing that many governments will do when a protest of any kind starts becoming too effective is to make it a crime to participate or support the protest. I think we should all keep this scenario in mind when discussing what the future of our financial system should look like.

It's foolish to gloss over the word "crime" like it only describes human trafficking and international drug trade, especially with everything going on in the US. What was "going to the doctor" yesterday could be "committing a crime" tomorrow.
It also doesn't mention if the cars have comparable horsepower.
Question is how relevant all that is if the reported issues are related to brakes, lights, wheels and steering...
World Described as Of
Lately, I often catch myself thinking that this world is entirely clear to me. Here, I seek only one thing: peace, tranquility, and harmony. I feel as if I’ve long been an old sage. I know what cities on different continents look like, how people live, what they eat, and what problems they face. Much of this knowledge seems relatively useless, but it’s settled in my mind, and there’s no getting rid of it. Yet, there are also significant global observations:
• Poverty looks the same everywhere.
• Wealth looks even more alike and predictable.
• Almost every nation considers itself exceptional.
• It’s hard to find a country without grievances against its neighbors.
• Every nation thinks it’s better than its neighbors.
• There are no inherently bad nations or people; in general, people are good by default.
• Most countries are very similar to each other.
• The danger of many cities and places is greatly exaggerated.
• The most dangerous place I’ve been to is Tuva. It’s truly dangerous there.
• With each passing year, there is less freedom in the world.
• The main cultural contribution of modern Russia to the world is the cartoon Masha and the Bear.
• People are generally adaptable and ready to endure the harshest conditions.
• They’re willing to endure these harsh conditions for generations.
• My favorite country is Japan.
• Some of the most hopeless countries in the world are Cuba and Eritrea.
• Almost everywhere, people applaud pilots upon landing.
• The most boring countries are small island nations.
• The best nature is in Iceland.
• There is no God.
• If God exists, why are there still taxi drivers, realtors, and crypto magnates?

And with that, I bid farewell. Off to admire the sunset by the river. Wishing you something endlessly eternal.
Yes, but in this concrete case it meant, that the Swiss prevented germany from transfering ammunition to Ukraine (over ammunition of the anti air tank Gepard, if I recall correctly).

It's not very useful for tracking your things though, which arguably is why you would use it. I wouldn't trust Google's network to find a stolen bike or lost luggage for instance, but air tags are used for that all the time[0]. Finding my lost keys at home is a perfectly valid use case for tags, but you don't need a network for that, just some Bluetooth and maybe UWB.

I'm not sure where this absolute "tearing is bad" and "correctness" mentality comes from. To me, the "correct" thing specifically for the mouse cursor is to minimize input lag. Avoiding tearing is for content. A moving cursor is in various places along the screen anyway, which will include biological "afterglow" in one's eyes and therefore there's going to be some ghosted perception of the cursor anyway. Tearing the cursor just adds another ghost. And at the same time, this ghosting is the reason keeping cursor input lag to a minimum is so important, to keep the brain's hand-eye coordination in sync with the laggy display.
Someone should develop an LLM-therapist for this situation.
Hybrids (including plug-in hybrids) aren't usually grouped under electric cars in Danish media.
All other cars would be model year 2020 or older (since inspection becomes mandatory at the four year mark). So best case, this is compared to cars of the same age, and if not, even older cars, which does not make the Model 3 look any better.
In my country you leave a certain amount for the inspector somewhere in the dash area or in your vehicle booklet. At least in the past I've known some people to do it for older cars, there were ways to bypass emissions tests and ignore some minor issues. Also, I once failed the brake fluid check and I had to repeat the inspection. Since I didn't have time to do a full drain, I just went to a nearby garage to suck it out from the overflow container with a syringe and top it off with fresh fluid. This was just to pass the test and I would fully replace it later.

Most MOT points in most countries aree wear related or regulatory, not functionality of the car. A car which is not moving due to breaking easily is not an issue. Critical failures will always result in full immediate recalls.
I've been part of layoffs twice (with around 8 years in the workforce by now) and yes, I realised the harsh truth that going above and beyond, putting in the soul and long hours is not worth it. No one cares in the long term, you're just a number in the spreadsheet at the end of the day.

But the thing is, I like what I'm working on, I like letting my passion dictate my actions. I want to go home at the end of the day and be proud of what I have accomplished.

But it's not worth putting in that effort for a company that treats you like any other resource. So I'm starting to become one of those soulless employees. You can call it quiet quitting or whatever. And it's slowly killing my spark.

I started working on my own projects to keep that spark alive. But 2h every day is not enough to build something that's worth it.
> The US didn't fight against independence.

Not intentionally, and I am not arguing that they did. I argue what the locals actually wanted was independence (and everyone else was more or less acting to prevent that, by whatever motives or means).

> The US has no interest in making South Vietnam a vassal state. It was nothing more than a bulwark against perceived communist expansion (incorrectly perceived). It devolved into a civil war between opposing Vietnamese parties, with superpowers backing each side.

Yes, except I would say the southern parties lacked actual genuine support from the locals. They were promoted by the USA because there had to be an indigenous party to develop into a stable country. The real non-Communist locals had been destroyed by the French.

Mouse is moved. Preemption happens. Hardware cursor is repositioned.

The Amiga could do it in 1985. Linux has realtime scheduler classes (i.e. SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR). These days, even PREEMPT_RT.

Some Wayland composers are already leveraging hardware cursors when possible.

Why is it so hard? What's stopping them from accomplishing this?
bought my model y in Dec 2023.

The brakes are always noisy in winter now. I went for maintenance and it got better, but it got worse recently.
The automatic judgment of the wipers is very inaccurate. Sometimes they start like a ghost and scare me.
The reversing camera is always blurry in the snow in Norway.
Other than that, there are not many complaints. I feel that the basic battery life and control are really great.
It’s just that I think Tesla’s current model design seems difficult to achieve true fully automatic driving, especially in places like Norway where there is a lot of rain and snow. Because many cameras are blocked (even if you want to simulate human eyes, but the human eyes are in the car). I don’t even dare to cruise on autopilot, which can easily cause danger in rainy days.
I expected the author to cut the motherboard, not leave it as is (like in many console "trimmings"). It's even better!

USGS releases first-ever map of potential for geologic hydrogen in U.S.
If used in California.

Mix in wetter conditions, and salted roads in winter, and you have a recipe for disaster - the components experience all of the weather, but none of the "cleaning" force of actual braking. Anecdotal evidence, every single electric car owner I personally know has complained about brake rust here in Latvia. Even those with small 50km range plug-in hybrids, when used mainly for daily commuting within electrical range.
I get up at 5:30am. I do some writing, I write best early morning. Today I published my next booklet "Developer Accountability". I'm a CTO coach and do not do 9-5, I'm in between a job and jobless in that way.
That just replaces a "difficult but humanly possible" task (practicing law) with a "we think this must be possible in principle but all of us working together have only scratched the surface" task (interpretability).

When the average person cannot understand either the law or matrix multiplication, they're definitely not going to be able to understand laws created by matrix multiplication.

(And to the extent that our brains are also representable by a sufficiently large set of matricies, we also don't understand how we ourselves think; I believe we trust each other because we evolved to, but even then we argue that someone is "biased" or "fell for propaganda" or otherwise out-group them, and have to trust to our various and diverse systems of government and education to overcome that).
Doesn't take much equipment to steal it, though.

And column shifters still exist- hell, even the Tesla Model 3 has one- so any gen z kid who knows how a manual transmission works can shift it into gear.
It's been 20+ years since I was laid off when the first internet boom collapsed. I got a decent settlement, spent a while experimenting with self employment, and got another interesting full-time job which lasted for years. I'd rate the experience as significantly less traumatic than my first relationship breakup.

But yes, the first time you experience redundancies regardless of whether you're made redundant or survive is definitely an eye-opener. It's like those financial disclaimers "the value of your investment may go down as well as up". There may be very little warning. It may even happen at a time that's very bad for you personally. And it does break trust among the company.
I mean at some point it's a fundamental choice though, right? You can either have sync problems or lag problems and there's a threshold past which improving one makes the other worse. (This is true in audio, at least, and while I don't know video that well I can't see why it would be different.)

Difficult to avoid when there's lots of culture encouraging it, and especially once your hours are long enough that the rest of your life gets eroded.
In this case the regulation is to make sure vehicles are road worthy and they make sense, all your signals need to be operational, braking forces on all wheels should be adequate, emissions testing, headlights in full working order, suspension is holding up, etc.
Name and shame, good. Only when we name the perpetrators, we can help others avoid bad employers, of which there are way to many already.
As I understand it, the tearing thing (no vsync) was only implemented after Valve pleaded, begged, and sacrificed a small animal to the Wayland developers.

Sure, way better with a person on the frame, but recognisable landmarks can still have utility in a photo collection.

I wonder what will happen to the photos we take today, if they will "bit rot". The HDD and cloud storage wont last forever, maybe 20 years if we are lucky, or until someone stops paying the monthly fee. Meanwhile these films have lasted for 40+ years.
Which brings up the other problem that Wayland introduced, that instead of one incredibly old inscrutable software stack doing these things there are now five (and counting!) new and insufficiently tested software stacks doing these things in slightly different ways.
Why do developers keep piling abstractions on top of abstractions?

There is machine code. Then the assembler. Then the compiler, that targets the JVM. Then the programming language. Then classes and objects. And then modules. And then design patterns. And then architectural patterns.

Why all of this should exist?

...

Well, because each level is intended to provide something the previous levels cannot provide.

My last "operator" (not really an operator, but conceptually similar) is Airflow. Because Kubernetes doesn't have a way to chain job executions, as in "run this job after these two jobs finished".

Being loved conditionally by your partner is OK, as long at the conditions are those that you are willing to fulfill out of free choice.

Being loved conditional has a very thin line to coercive control, though, and this gets easily into abusive territory.
In my US State they don't even do emissions testing except in areas with air quality issues. I've never had a mandatory car inspection in 50 years of driving.

I'm sure this adds to the terrible headlights, noise, and smoke I see coming from vehicles here.
It’s not rare for entire business units or country offices to get shut down. That’s the easiest way to do a layoff because it’s mostly isolated from the rest of the company. Executives can meet most of their layoff target without having to get into the weeds of evaluating individual performance.

Often some functions are moved or merged into another unit, and that’s the escape hatch for the few people someone really wants to save.
What do they have to say about it?
If files end up in a different directory because the user rearranged the filesystem under your nose, that's on the user. Most applications would deal with that by telling the user not to do that.

If your sensitive logs end up in the webserver root because one thread used chdir to temporarily change the working directory it's on the application writer.

Or to put it another way, the filesystem as a whole being shared mutable state does not make the current working directory being shared mutable state between threads any less of an issue.
I was thinking that it seems strange to fire a 10x dev that has regular one-on-one meetings with a VP. OP could have contacted said VP and outlined that he was worth keeping, until I got to this line :

>the law enforces a social scoring system to determine who is affected, prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable employees

This is the reason OP got laid off, if all he says about his high performance is true. The good old positive discrimination making unintended victims. Germany just lost a 10x dev's productivity for this.

While I agree with the spirit of the law and don't have the details of this case, it is quite the sad situation for everyone involved.

> they sometimes had explicit display hardware for just the mouse because that would cut out the latency

That's still the case. The mouse cursor is rendered with a sprite/overlay independent from the window composer swapchain, otherwise the lag would be very noticeable (at 60Hz at least). The trickery starts when dragging windows or icons around, because that makes the swapchain lag visible. Some window composers don't care any longer because a high refresh rate makes the lag not as visible (eg macOS) others (eg Windows I think) switch to a software mouse cursor while dragging.
This argument would make sense if you weren't talking about forums, where archiving is as simple as locking the entire forum.

Heck you could even scrape + convert to static HTML like what they did with the original Processing forums. Which is run by volunteers.

Unconditional love is not the same as unconditional trust or unconditional relationship.

You can leave someone you still love, if they did not meet what you desire out of the relationship. That would still be unconditional love.

But with unconditional love, leaving someone is to heal yourself, not to punish the other person.
Check the screenshot below re: training on OpenAI Outputs. They've fixed this since btw, but it's pretty obvious they used OpenAI outputs to train.

If you dislike it "as a Tesla owner" it sounds like you're validating the general idea of associating people with the brand, you just think the CEO in particular should be excluded?

Strongly agree with the author.
I was laid off two years ago, and I am experiencing the same feelings he is describing: I no longer want to give my 100%, I no longer overcommit.
I do the minimum required and feel emotionally detached from the company and my colleagues.

It's a waste that so many individual contributors who, as the author said, had good performance and were close to the users went through a laid off. Now a new generation of previously high achievers work force will get back in the market and no longer use all their potential for their job.
Like it wasn't the fault of the new company that hired me, that now I do the bare minimum, they won't see the full potential I gave before. And I, I cannot prevent it. My work ethics and motivation died after the lay off.

The AI assistant for Office 365 is confusing, e.g., the "light bulb" feature in meetings/calendars adds random OneDrive references. This can be dangerous, as it might be mistaken for attached documents, leading to misunderstandings between the people in the meeting. Such features should be OFF by default and enabled selectively, allowing users granular control over their impact.
I disagree completely. Vagrant worked for your org or your setup but people hardly ever (in my experience) delivered the recipe, or the steps to setup.

Yes, sometimes the vagrant-configure thing had a few lines, but most people shipped an iso with stuff installed. It could have been done, but wasn't being done.
At some point there is a kind of sunk cost fallacy entering the game ("I can't reinvent my ego/persona now, I'm 40 it's too late"), and maybe some form of addiction ("I love my job and I would be bored without it")

I know people who could easily retire or at least get a much chiller job but they stay in their high responsibility positions, complaining about it everyday, stressing them to the point of having physical consequences.
