It looks nice, but you have to sign up for an account to use a terminal app? This is really getting ridiculous

Oh, that sounds great!

What does federation for git mean?

Academically, you’re right. For practical reasons, you probably don’t care how Simula, E, Lisp and Smalltalk (languages mentioned in that 20 year old article) implement it. This seemed more like a beginner question so I think the Java definition is a good starting point.

There aren’t really that many definitions for OOP; it’s a very consolidated paradigm. This is a short but comprehensive guide: https://www.baeldung.com/java-oop

Imagine being such a niche language that a single job posting makes headlines. In another 10.000 maybe I’ll be able to get a Rust job too.

How can you tell if someone uses vim? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you about it.

Looks really awesome, going to try it out when there’s a Linux version. VSCode is great, but could use some more performant competition.

Wait, so the name was misleading? It should have been GitAndSvnHub

The exploit’s sophistication and the feature’s obscurity suggest the attackers had advanced technical capabilities

exploiting a vulnerability in an undocumented hardware feature that few if anyone outside of Apple and chip suppliers such as ARM Holdings knew of.

according to Russian officials also infected the iPhones of thousands of people working inside diplomatic missions and embassies in Russia

the devices were infected with full-featured spyware that, among other things, transmitted microphone recordings, photos, geolocation, and other sensitive data to attacker-controlled servers

Sounds like government espionage

puts tinfoil hat on

Oh the irony. Just train it on copyrighted material without a license, like OpenAI did.

It’s a full time job to answer completely, but from what I know he finances escape fantasies for the rich which they call seasteading. He calls it a libertarian ideal to create these new colonial city states, but what he means is liberty for his ilk from taxes, regulation and societal rules. Meanwhile his brainchild Palantir erodes the rights of the poor people who are left behind through surveillance, military technology and ICE funding. But this is all in line with his ideology, because apartheid “works” in South Africa according to Thiel

He’s a small time capitalist. These guys have society shaping power and wealth

Didn’t Epic lose the fight against Apple? How is Google more of a monopoly than Apple? It is incredibly easy to sideload apps on Android compared to iPhones, and there are multiple dedicated unofficial stores. These verdicts are not coherent at all between them. I understand they are two separate judges, but the law should be the same for all, not at the interpretation of whichever judge you get.

Edit: for future reference, Verge answers this very question here https://www.theverge.com/24003500/epic-v-google-loss-apple-win-fortnite-trial-monopoly

“Engineer” means you’re supposed to be licensed and you have a responsibility for the public good above your responsibility to your employer.

Good point. We definitely don’t, and it’s what’s causing huge amounts of trouble in the world, rather than using software for the greater good.

But engineer sounds better by some definitions, and it strokes the ego of employees, so companies like to use it to give more prestige to the role.

This is not a slight nuance, it literally makes touchscreen unusable for me. Touchscreen really helps with carpal tunnel and RSI, which is more important to me than an ideological war against Google.

The deceleration is way too low and it’s hard to get it to focus where I want on the page fast. The deceleration is inconsistent between touchscreen and touchpad, which works fine. I tried looking around for configurations for it but couldn’t find any. Touchscreen support in Chrome is just generally better

Does this apply to all Chromium based browsers? I would like to switch to Firefox, but the touchscreen scroll there is terrible, and that is 90% of what I do in a browser.

All problems mentioned are societal issues

Exactly. This follows Marx’s theory of alienation closely. I found 3 out of 4 features described by Marx in the original article.

Sounds a lot like the French Revolutionary Calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar#Months
