And when the plane landed at it's destination, another United jet sucked in a bird on take off. At least there's no mechanic to blame for that.

If you go to My Account within an Affinity app, yes you can see the store there.

It says underneath "You do not need to remain online or signed in to use your purchases", referring to in-app store purchases.

> Why is it not transcoding locally?

Try transcoding on the bog standard anemic i"GPU" of corporate desktops and laptops. Not everyone has a 4090.

You have plenty of options out there that will fit your needs. ClipChamp works for many, other solutions work for many.

As an author of two technical books, it cost me $0 to distribute because that was the publisher's job.

I got paid a pittance for the amount of time put into the works. I wouldn't have seen any more or less if someone pirated the books.

Windows 95 bootlegging was extremely prevalent. Piracy in Russia is nothing new.

Is there an actual issue? Or is this someone complaining with zero understanding of how the backend works?

One way to look at that particular event is companies needed to ramp up on product (Zoom, Teams, <remote tools>). It takes a lot to build a product, less so to maintain/operate said product.

When the monkeys are finished writing the story on the typewriter, it doesn't take as many monkeys to hit print on the copier.

And yes, there are bullshit jobs. Lots of them.

This person has some extreme transphobic and hateful views. FYI to anyone giving them impressions.

There must be some standard calculation going into that number. US law forbids proportional fines (i.e., scaling with income).

In Washington State, the Human Rights Commission (not DoL, my bad) performs the investigation and brings forward a case to an administrative law judge. The applicant would not need a lawyer. However, the applicant can bring forward a civil case, if they wish.

The lawyer, in a civil case, should already have all of the evidence they need gathered by the HRC.

States, countries, etc. will differ of course.

I do wonder what it'd be like to have something proved and to have an administrative judge tell the company to hire you anyway... Wouldn't that be super uncomfortable?

How long is your resume on paper? Should be 2 pages at most. How many positions have you had in that 20 year span? What makes you believe it is ageism? In the US, workers 'over 40' are in a protected class for their age. If you have evidence of ageism, you can bring it to your local Dept of Labor/EEOC.

Yep

That any prediction over a 10 year span will be wildly incorrect.

Should have torn the blanket of weeds out and put in bee and hummingbird-friendly native plants, instead.

Licensing is a thorny issue. Office follows the Universal License Terms [0] which have various restrictions, such as not offering Office to 3rd parties and all users internal to a company who use a service like yours would require an Office CAL themselves. You would need a Volume License subscription for Office client. Retail copies are most definitely not licensed for this use-case. This would include anyone using your software -- they would need to have a volume licensed copy of Office.

I would suggest talking to a company like CDW who can assist with license terms or Microsoft Licensing -- don't take an HN or any other forum reply as a definitive answer. Microsoft typically doesn't let you get away 'cheap' when you use their software like this. And they've covered all of the bases you can think of to be cheap.

Since docx is 'open', any masochistic third party can write a library to interact with it -- or just take from the likes of LibreOffice and adapt it for server-side software. This avoids the Microsoft licensing discussion.

macOS:

/Users/userName/Developer

Windows:

C:\Users\userName\source

If you name a folder 'Developer' in macOS, it automatically adds a little Xcode-stylized icon.

Microsoft essentially says 'don't install Word server-side' [0]. The 3rd party you've linked to would be a more appropriate route.

You can automate in other ways, such as interacting with COM via a scripting language or development language client-side. That is supported. If you're dead-set on a web-based application, then yeah, go 3rd party.

That's one way to take the humanity out of marriage!

It's unlikely that any of these systems are 'hack proof'. Physical access, and all that.

I don't know the specifics of the CA implementation, so I can't speak to it beyond what I previously stated.

I have a brand new CR-V. These cars have been able to 'read' the speed limit signs for a handful of years now.

It read a 25 Mph sign as 50 Mph in my neighborhood the other day.

I also previously had a CR-V and in one section of road on a curve, where the fog line isn't clear and there is a chip-and-seal fix going across the roadway, the lane keeping assistant complains about drift. The new one does this, too. Same place.

I've encountered similar issues with the braking warning.

These camera-based systems are imperfect. Humans are also imperfect, but unlike cameras, some of us have some power of deduction/reasoning/thought.

If anything, I would prefer California's approach where the car complains at you if you're going >10 Mph. Since CA is adopting that rule in the coming years, I'm sure we'll see this on all cars in the US (2030, I think?).

I do wonder for those people who enjoy track meets with road-legal cars will handle this technology.

EDIT: What happens if the user blinds the camera? It said it also uses SatNav, but that's not perfect, either.

Neat! Had to do a quick search for what this does. We're going from 48-bit addressing to 57-bit addressing (256TB of addressable memory to 128PB of addressable memory).

Windows 10 and 11 support this feature today.

> thus difficult to handle in a CLI outside of a utility (usually need privileged MS insider OS API documentation)

There's a CLI command for it! What are you talking about with regards to APIs needed to do the particular task I mentioned?

> (GUI usually slowly leak memory over time.)

No, no, no, no. Please don't make up false statements to try to "prove a point".

You're just being disrespectful to be disrespectful. You're disrespectful of many talented individuals in the industry. For shame.

Can you provide the full thread? Twitter requires a login to view more than the post you linked to.

> GUI by their very nature usually make "simple things easy, and difficult things impossible".

Creating an Active Directory forest was traditionally done via a GUI wizard. I would say that makes a very complex task easy, where-as creating it via CLI requires some amount of knowledge, making something otherwise easy "difficult" as you need to know what the CLI parameters are asking for (GUI explains it in plain <localized language>), _and_ you need to know what the proper cmdlet is, leading to difficulty in discovery.

Server Manager starts automatically after logging into Windows Server for the first time, presenting the user with a two-click method to start the deployment of AD (and some more clicks for the wizard itself). This lets anyone, from an SMB one-person shop to the largest company in the world (who is that?) deploy AD in a matter of minutes. It's empowering.

Equating Win Admins with chickens is rather disrespectful and/or elitist. "Don't get mad, bro!" doesn't absolve one of their statement.

I've written PowerShell modules in C# for SharePoint Server. I continue to use the click-click-next-finish GUI for certain tasks. Does that make me a troglodyte?

Provided this question is business-targeted and not home-targeted, use a registar that has support contracts, MFA, etc.

Com Laude and CSC Global are the two I'm aware of.

Like two websites that look the same, except one captures your creds?

You don't want user prefs to apply to multiple locations solely based on URI.

MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (for PC) was the same way. Rocking soundtrack. Beautiful game, provided you had a Voodoo 2.
