Proton had a reputation for being the good guy. In the span of a month, we saw them bend the knee, flip flop and throw shade at competition; all while pretending to be the hero. We essentially have to trust them with our data and they are showing signs that they are willing to act against that trust with worrisome agendas and biases. It's not a good look, and since this marketing to users key issues, it's going to cause some responses.

It all started with PAL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL the short version is that old cameras were tuned to work with the electromagnetic frequency, your camera either worked in Europe or in the US. This effected the frame rate of the end video (4%) and meant that tvs, video players and consoles ran at a different frame rate which lead to 2 standards NTSC and SECAM.

As trade expanded publishers created trade routes and business partnerships that created a patterns of distribution. Later when we resolved those 2 standards with modern technology, we are still were using those methods to get the physical copies to the stores and those same stores are still handling digital distribution, using the same laws and regulations. It might seem simple to click download, but that's built on a monolith of history and automation to deliver a good user experience.

To actually get rid of it, I'm not a lawyer but I imagine we have internal trade treaties to visit? I don't think it's legal to sell PAL versions outside of their region unless you are also doing business there. I know Japanese pokemon games were hard to buy as a kid. Disclaimer: I know tech stuff.

It's so consistent it has a name: Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

I heard that we were at the theoretical limit but apparently there's been a break through: https://phys.org/news/2020-09-bits-atom.html

You are stuck on 100% accuracy and trying to actually stuff to death. The user asked if it's possible to write an application in bash and the answer is an overwhelming duh. Most assembly languages are emulators and they all predate C. You are confidant, wrong and loud. Guess I struck a nerve when I called you out for needing a specific language.

2 parts:

• All languages are middleware. Unless you write in assembly, whatever you write isn't directly being executed, they are being run through a compiler and being translated from your "middle language" or into 0s and 1s the computer can understand. Middleware is code used in between libraries to duplicate their functionality.

• Most original code was written in shell. Most scripting is done in the cli or shell language and stored as a script.shfile, containing instructions to execute tasks. Before python was invented you used the basic shell because nothing else existed yet

Pretty much all languages are middleware, and most of the original code was shell/bash. All new employees in platform/devops want to immediately push their preferred language, they want java and rust environments. It's a pretty safe bet if they insist on using a specific language; then they don't know how awk or sed. Bash has all the tools you need, but good developers understand you write libraries for functionality that's missing. Modern languages like Python have been widely adopted and has a friendlier onboarding and will save you time though.

Saw this guy's post in another thread, he's strawmanning because of lack of knowledge.

Comcast, Banfield pet hospital, yumly (taco bell subsidiary), chase banking, GoDaddy, anyone providing healthcare and nordvpn all need to pay restitutions or be dismantled. Internal errors become my problem as a customer and they refuse to acknowledge/fix it..

Am I misunderstanding siphon powers? Add invisibility and super speed... Aita?

Longshot, but can you tell what's wrong with my lotus?

Leaves come in healthy green, but each leaf has a different deficiency symptom and I'm thinking it's because of the small tank condition you described.

Imho it felt more like: "Designed specifically for companionship... and intimacy". The unlisted job requirement. Someone definitely tried to fuck it during r&d
