Not an actual starship clone. Minor detail, but not insignificant.

Like this is going to stop _anyone_ from building and releasing a 100% compatible FOSS alternative within a few hours. Isn't actions just a runner for YAML / JSON based CI/CD scripts? A 10th-grader should be able to rebuild that without breaking a sweat.

... trades by passing then through a large spool of fiber before they go into the server, deliberately slowing trades down. It's quite popular with mid-range enterprises and corporations. I'd be trading by stocks there if be I were to IPO a corporation of mine.

... by 10x at least. Cushy jobs at the VW ICE production line in Wolfsburg are going the way of the Dodo, especially with VW pushing hard for EVs, by German standards.

As a senior webdev in the agency space for the better part of 2.5 decades I can attest that the hiring process has been absolute shite for at least 20 years now. However, last year it was notably bad. I'm an experienced senior webdev with an impressive project portfolio, a very fine-tuned and optimized CV reviewed by professional career and job application advisors (highly recommended!) and a very solid personal branding (I know a thing or two about marketing and branding) with a professionally run and maintained weblog that has been going on for more than 20 years now. If you Google my name it comes up at spot #1 and comes with a solid and professional presentation.

But last summer it was notably tedious to get a new gig, even for someone as seasoned and experienced as me. I took my salary demands down 20k, applied for 60+ targeted, custom worded and spot on applications where I checked every box listed, less than 10 reactions of any kind, roughly 5 actual interviews, 4 of which with 30+ year old HR dimwitts (albeit somewhat professionally cordial) 2 of which went anywhere with one being one of the shoddiest of low-end crappy in-house web agency teams I've seen in a looong time. In short: It was total carnage.

The last one was a singular webdev staff position in a 70+ lawyer law firm which I'm at right now. I haven't written an single line of code that was mentioned in the job description (a classic thing as many of you may know) but instead was booked on a one-man product development army for an existing shitty bug-ridden jamstack application that was originally designed and built by a dev on crack, or so it seems. The job is OK, I have seniors who know a thing or two about IT and keep our internal customers off my back, the work is chill and I have 80% remote but there is no way in hell I would've gotten this gig without deciders knowing the difference between front- and backend, with solid amounts of luck and chance and yet again HR staying out of the mix.

It was bad back in 2001 after the dot bomb and in 2008, but this time it felt extra challenging.

It must be a total shit-show for some n00b coming straight from college, especially with AI and the global economic downturn we're running in to. I definitely would recommend to any young guy today to steer clear of coding and other IT work and learn a trade. That way one can still remain somewhat relevant even if AI and the bots take over.

This has been going on for decades due to man made climate change. That the alpine glaciers will be gone within a decade has just about been common knowledge too. The true story is that time is quickly running out on getting an eco-turnaround happening that will prevent the worst.

Commercial "social media" shouldn't exist in the first place. This will force teenagers to learn about computers, networks, pseudonyms, IRC and self-hosted forums. That can't be a bad thing.

These laws aren't about teenagers anyway. Like a 15 year old me would care if commercial social media is off limits to me. I'd have a spoof account up and running in 5 minutes of the law taking effect. This is about the authorities being able to fine social media giants for bazillions if they chose to target teens. Good stuff. The sooner these corps vanish again and get replaced by citizen run networks, the better.

Keep going. Update your grid and work on improving storage. You'll finish way faster than any molten salt fission pipe-dream, that's for sure.

We certainly do _not_ have a lack of Windowmanagers in the open source world. And the presentation looks suspiciously like yet another WM. Does it have decent defaults and clipboard management that isn't a complete mess and/or broken? Does it have a proper feature complete file and font manager? What about icon management? Those would be my number one distinctions between a simple WM and a DE. And I seriously doubt that this is one delivers on those accounts.

Notch up half-assed FOSS WM #531 I guess. Yes?

... has found a good way and place to deal with their nuclear waste.

... other than the chinese. MKBHDs review of the Xiaomi SU7 is a real eye opener. If this really is the new bar for cars and not just China trying to get some stop on deflation. then it's certainly not just the US car industry that is in deep trouble.

This is a real problem. Imagine an AI computer virus swarm, with "Brain Bug" leader AIs building and releasing swarms of tailor-made virii to achieve certain hacking goals at a pace no human team of network admins can keep track of.

Hard cryptographic human-controlled Ident/Auth/Auth, encryption and signage is very quickly going to become a real necessity.

... in font form. ... Errm, ... WTF?!??

IMHO TNR and Calibri are both shite, but I can see why one would want to go back to a decades old standerd.
As for calling Calibri "woke" - is this Rubio guy on crack?

Nuclear Fission isn't cost effective ... _unless_ you price in the full eco-balance of electricity production. Then the numbers look significantly different and fission could just be a real thing once again. At least until renewables and energy storage have gained significant portions of the energy mix.

The key part is pricing in the eco-balance of electricity and all other forms of energy and processed goods before doing anything else, like rebuilding fission. Until you do that, ecological damage will always be an unpriced externality and the market price will never reflect the real damage done and your math on fission will always come up short. Example: Meat and Smartphones would be roughly 4x in cost of what they cost today if the eco-balance were priced in correctly. And that's all we would need to do to fix our environmental problems in record speed.
