My understanding is that legislation is in the works to fix that. But we’ll see.

Consider that you, and most of the community here, wouldn't have jobs if that were the case. XD

It works fine for the point that they were making. Which is that the fact that restaurants have to certify for food safety training and pass regular inspection is perfectly reasonable, and allows those who aren't experts in those area

Well in many countries this is the case. But it's an interesting thing to raise, because so often when they do enforce those controls - the outcry is 'bank won't let me do what I want with my money!'. Not such a stones t

AI Account. Everything in that account has appeared in the last 6mo. Very unnatural commit activity, and clearly contradicts the claim that this is their first OS project. Is linked to a faceless YT channel.

This is quite common already, where they’ll offer a higher performance tier, but that power only comes from the engine control unit, no physical differences. It makes even more sense in EVs where you don’t have to be concerned with the perf

I’ve been loving zellij. I don’t know what it is about how my brain works, but I have absolutely no memory for keybinds (and envy those that do), so I love that it just lays them out in the UI. Only customisation I make is to turn off the b

Wouldn’t disagree, but have I got bad news for you. Global utilisation rates are very low. 5~15% I guess the reality is that solving that would require a practically impossible level of coordination across the industry. https://s

Interesting. Coming from Spring to Ktor, being able to easily inspect the internal workings has been one of my favourite bits! It’s ‘advanced’ kotlin in there for sure, and takes some learning of the internal plumbing, but having everything

I’m personally not convinced by the theory of ortho. It seems to stem from the idea that stagger is a hangover from the typewriter, in which it was required to make room for the mechanics, and that if we didn’t need to make them like that,

Thanks - I figure its step away in terms of target platform. I meant a little more in the way that software is packaged and run. My understanding is that theres a similar mechanism for storing and linking shared libraries that means multipl

Is it similar to NixOS? Recent convert, would be interested to read a comparison to fuchsia from someone in the know of both. If it’s anywhere close Google might be sat on a huge opportunity to tread the same ground while solving the ergono

It’s a good point. YouTube for instance doesn’t gatekeep in the same way. And for sure by no means am I suggesting this is the best way to go about it.

There’s no doubt better docs will help improve the state of Android Apps. But this is about stemming the flow of shovelware into the store, (todolist tutorial no 800000, but I changed the name) where the problem isn’t that devs lack the too

That definitely happens. Meanwhile we know that these mixers are being used enmasse to sell exploitative content, fund terrorist organisations, evade tax, run scams, hacks, the list goes on, and on, and on, and on.

Is there any good data/analysis on how prevalent attacks on these devices are? I’m always on the fence with this stuff. As an engineer I like having access to my device, and the freedom to tinker. But on the flip side. It’s obvious to

Yeah I thought it was an e-ink clock XD. Then I realised that the Windows 3.1 design language might actually be a really good fit for an OS that targets e-ink for computers & large tablets. Which is something I’ve been craving a solutio

I agree that you never escape the requirement to have knowledge of how your application is deployed. Things like autoscaling, security, performance etc, all intrinsically effect how you actually write your application. I think there's

> Do you need memory safety? I think that’s an unusual way frame that requirement. All programs need to handle memory _correctly_. Very few seg fault as part of expected operation.

shrug people like looking at colorised photos because it helps root the image within the setting of the real world they occupy. For some it’s more evocative, irregardless of the absolute accuracy. Having a professional do it for that pict

Coming up to long/medium flights I've often thought, cool - a period of distraction free time, I can read, watch films, write, play video games. In reality, it always sucks for those things. Crap in seat displays, crook neck on a

In reality though, you wouldn’t ‘launder’ money that wasn’t ‘dirty’. As an activity it’s basically always indicative of a crime. (Wether you agree with the law or not) And by its very purpose, it makes the ‘base’ crime harder to prosecute a

Have you used Wayland? If you have an AMD graphics card it’s fairly trivial to switch Pop_OS over. I found it to be very obviously a clear improvement in app start time and general snappiness in the OS. To extent that meaningfully improved
