While I've always understood overtime for startups, or to solve an unexpected problem, I simply do not understand why people put up with systemic overtime for large companies making large amount of money. They are simply abusing your time, you should refuse. They are saving money by not hiring enough people. It's management saving money, or being incompetent, but then it's management's problem, not yours. Of course, during difficult times one may have no other choice, but I'd just run asap.
I wrote such a tool on A500 called "Aspro" with visual memory scanning so one could spot bitmaps and adjust step, save/load files, 68K disassembler and other things I can't remember. It could be invoked with hotkeys during games or demos. Too bad I lost it. Fun times.
I have a counter example, my ipad mini is effectively a brick, I can't install a modern browser on it because it's too old. period. Allowing external stores could definitely help make it work again.
If you are interested, you should know that it's possible to not be seeing any ads at all on a computer (phones are a different beast). It's a bit of a chore but it takes 3 things: firefox with ublock origin + noscript + delete cookies and history on exit. I haven't seen ads in years. You can go a step further and create startup profiles. It's a bit chore because you have to selectively allow domains for content to display (reader mode can help), but that's the price to pay to minimize tracking and remove annoying ads.
I have noticed similar issues but I don't think you would have "died on the ER waiting room floor": if you were in for dehydration then you were treated as such, i.e. low priority. That's really all there is to it. Sometimes people are misdiagnosed and that's when there really is a problem, but that's independent of the country, and Doctors do everything they can to make sure this does not happen. In most of Europe you go to the hospital to be treated, your comfort is really considered secondary unless you are in very bad health. The stinky guy next to you had the same rights that you do, but the system is such that you both should be treated equally and given proper care. The system is not perfect but it does its best to follow these principles.
It seems to really depend on the type of work that you are doing. If you write high level code using many external libraries in a language like Java, using an IDE can be a time saver. If you are write low level C code, I found that using an IDE does not seem to be that helpful. But that's just my 2c.
Great, this is really going in the right direction! So far I had been using different firefox startup profiles for different activities to emulate this behaviour (works even for extensions).
I've been using K-9 Mail for years, I love it, great work! If you can spare the time, can you please add a simpler way to donate? I really don't want to create yet another account (liberapay?), please just let me pay with paypal directly.
I purchased a Boox Max2 and got the version with HDMI to code. What I had not realized is that I would miss source code highlighting with color coding so much. Everything else can be more or less worked around, scrolling did not bother me.
Does anyone know if there is a video encode benchmark available yet? These can be tricky to perform because you need to take into account the quality and size of the output. I assume x264/x265 are not optimized (yet) for M1. I wonder if M1 is designed for that workload at all (encode, not decode).
This drives me nuts too. Many laptops have the same problem, fortunately Dell Latitude and Lenovo Thinkpad have the dedicated PgUp and PgDn and these are good laptops. Screen-wise it's the same battle for matte displays (nearly everything seems to be glossy nowadays).
Yes, and it's very frustrating too: they lowered the bitrate when Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for Internal Market
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thierry_Breton said the internet would not support the extra load due to work-from-home/COVID. Breton was CEO of Orange, internet & 4G provider. This is all sounds very suspicious, and it was clearly wrong. Some of us pay for UHD quality and we don't get what we initially paid for.
I agree, their quality is sometimes questionable but to be fair OTA has preallocated/fixed bandwidth, while netflix on the other hand likely gains from optimizing for lower bitrates.
I think SSH security is similar to that of a VPN (except for large installations where key management/revokation may be better handled by VPN tools), so for many people there's no need to use a VPN.
The question is should the writer go through the effort of placing the parameter name, or should the reader go through the effort of looking up the function prototype? Since according to Clean Code (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/835238-indeed-the-ratio-of-...) code is more often read than written, it should makes sense for the writer to do it.
Apple seems to prevent a company from having a line of text in their app that says: oh, by the way, you can purchase this texture pack or that asset on our website. I think it's the key to the problem. It seems difficult for Apple to argue that it is not anti-competitive.
