TL;DR; antivaxers

and if we started taxing them across the board, no one would dare hold stock

It's only a gain if you sell.

Selling a company and paying tax on the profit in tax is a completely different proposition from paying tax on hypothetical profit you haven't made (and might never make) just because you want to move.

Don't start a company in Germany. There are many better european countries

As a society we should be asking those questions yes

As an individual, pretending you have free will and can opt to not do things you know are bad for you is probably better than doing those things while complaining that society isn't stopping you from hurting yourself

This is one of many things that used to be easier before wayland

You can get pretty far with just the xkbd definions though, although you need root to reconfigure it.

A bit ironically, the easiest way I've found to create xkbd definions is to start an X11 server, reconfigure your xmodmap+xcompose, and export the current xkbd settings. Xmodmap is much easier to edit than editing xkbd directly.

Why would you want to avoid using a struct? Add a macro that declares the appropriate struct and get at least a tiny bit of type checking.

With some clever use of _Generic you could even build specialised functions for that type and get pretty good type checking

As you know this, why don't you fix it?

What is forcing you to doom scroll rather than putting the phone in a different room before going do bed?

Can you give an example of something useful you get from commits following the CC convention?

Arguably "fix memory leak" is why you free the array; freeing the array is just how you fixed it and less interesting as that is also in the diff

Perhaps it's useful to ask why?

What does the jira ticket give you that a longer PR message can't do better?

One of many problems introduced by monorepos

Giving accomodations during a test kind of invalidates the test as a measurement of relative ability, or aptitude for further studies, so perhaps the solution is to stop doing that

Best of luck to him, I hope he finds what he's looking for!

What's not completely clear from the post is what he dislikes with AI / technology. Does someone know?

You need to misplace a </> in a way that still produces a valid xml document. Just forgetting one or adding an extra one will throw an error.

Write json5, which gives you most of the brevity of yaml without the terrible ideas

I find even plain json easier to write than yaml. Especially when you factor in the scope of mistakes. Tiny mistakes can completely break the structure of a yaml document in ways that are still valid yaml. With json I'll catch that because auto-indenting will follow the actual structure

I often suspect lists like these to be more of a reflection of what books people have been told are great, than any quality of the book itself.

Ulysses being in the top three is a good example... I wonder how many of the people voting for it have read it.

I feel the field of microplastics has done itself no favours by referring to everything < 5mm as a microplastic particle. 5mm is huge. In american terms, it's amost as wide as a .22 calibre bullet, or a popcorn kernel

I gave up on timecapsule because performance has gotten worse and worse year over year. I replaced it with a periodic rsync backup to a NAS that is in turn backed up in other ways

The upside is that it's dead simple when it comes to how the backup is stored. In 10 years time, having files in a filesystem will still work, but I imagine restoring an old time machine backup will require quite a bit of work

If you wanted to you could probably figure out how to do apfs snapshots before rsyncing

If you exclude pointless stuff like browser caches it's also pretty performant compared to timecapsule, and the transfer is properly encrypted

Turning it into a copy of facebook

FWIW, on android with firefox + ublock origin it's clean from ads.

On iOS with firefox it's filled with ads; with firefox focus it's mostly clean but you get a dismissable "please disable adblocker" style prompt I didn't get on android. I don't know if there's a browser with a good adblocker allowed in iOS walled garden, but I'd be happy for suggestions

You can have humour and children at the same time...

If you can assume "a sufficiently smart piece of technology" that doesn't exist now, a lot of problems become trivial

It's interesting how differently people can think.

I couldn't imagine thinking "I'm gonna do this 0.1x as fast as I could, wasting my life away with pointless extra work, to spite my employer"

There would be no money floating around the music business, spare or otherwise, if no one paid for music

I guess you could fund it with taxes?

It all depends on what you care about. People dying waiting for an MRI doesn't end society as we know it, but someone will probably be sad about it

Why do we insist on building cars to be safe in a collision when it would be so much nicer to not have accidents? Why do we build cancer treatment when not getting cancer is a much better option?

The article for example mentions MRI macines, aerospace engineering, fiber optics and semiconductors, so I guess it depends on if you want those things to still be available in a crisis

Theoretically, by taking the opportunity to inject an exfiltration mechanism if you ask it to write code for you

It's pretty easy to make up a reasonable sounding excuse for something you do for your own profit as a company. If they don't even provide any statistic on how frequent these scams are, it can be just words

Also, if your bank 2fa code is in your notifications, you should switch 2fa methods to something other than sms, or switch banks.
