Now, why would eggs be so expensive?

So the fixes are still fixes, but we (I am also a OSS maintainer) are unwilling to accept them as they boost the contributor’s status where we think the merit is very or extremely limited.

Why not have these PRs counted differently (by the platform), and/or colored differently in the timeline(s) thus made less visible or more clear?

I was a Gravis Ultrasound Max owner just for Second Reality. That was Art.

I do feel impaired around 1000ppm. I get headaches. At home I got a few Air Gradient Ones (no affiliation, but they are great) and connected those to my Home Assistant to turn up the ventilation in stages (above 650ppm go up, above 800ppm again, at 1000ppm max). I also do this for the bedrooms, cause in the night it goes up too.

The article talks about "within the hour". With four people in my living room doing normal things it jumps within 20min to around 1000ppm. If I am wrestling with my kids much sooner.

In offices companies often neglect it.

edit: if you are cooking on gas it also has an immediate effect on co2 of course apart from other small particles

This should be a red herring for Europe (and others using US models).

Every non-American company is now at a disadvantage against American companies. The implications can not be overstated.

I like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be brought down to an individual. Which in my mind defeats the “social” part.

I have SentinelOne as part of my install. Since that got upgraded, my Mac started eating its battery during sleep. Possibly due to SentinelOne's network scanner, as that takes up 100% cpu for awhile when just returning from sleep. So my mac awakes 3 times an hour to connect to iCloud and then adding SentinelOne overhead...

I think I might try this setting (Prevent Wake for Maintenance)

You mean someone convicted of fraud using the money from that fraude to bolster her popularity was banned by a judge to compete in the elections.

Also in the case of the Romanian candidate he was helped by Russian agencies. Again convicted by a judge.

In both countries judges are not appointed politically. So what makes this that the left bans the right?

I've heard people on the radio (ha yes I listen to that ;-)) that they disagree with Le Pen being banned from running for president.

That seems strange to me as this was public (eu) money that was funneled into her own movement, i.e. bolstering her popularity in some way. So letting her run in the elections would basically mean she would get away with the fraude.

VAT is applied on every good sold. So no. If you are able to produce cheaper and shipped cheaper than your EU competitor it will be cheaper when a consumer buys it.

The consumer pays the VAT, not the producer.

I wonder if there is a write guarantee, i.e. can we be certain the function only returns when the entry has been written to durable storage?

Or is it best effort?

LinkedIn posts come to mind. Definitely also food. Art.

I'm in management, senior to executive level with a preference towards data / ai. I'm also a contributor and committer to some Apache projects and maintain a popular one myself. I've got a background in financial services.

I was laid off last year during the major tech layoffs and I had a few interim management jobs since. Nothing permanent yet though and I see myself as a missionary not a mercenary so 'just' contracting doesn't fulfill me.

What I've noticed that where there used to be just a few applicants there are now many. This is confirmed by other job seekers. Jobs posted are also sometimes fake. Just window dressing so to say. I've gotten offers from within my own domain of less than half I was earning. For a NGOs I could consider that but for high tech or finance that's stuff I cannot take seriously.

I noticed I need to work on my positioning and network harder. I did not have to apply for a job in 15 years so I am a but rusty in that respect.

What I think is happing in the industry is that the macro economic developments are still quite uncertain and companies haven't figured out their strategies yet. So they stick to what they know.
