So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

It seems like that link implies that despite not having to, he does anyway?

The more generic you make something the worse it is at specific goals. The more use cases you support, the more complex and harder to maintain, the more it's likely to fail. There will never be a "universal" programming language.

Imagine if you had a programming language that did "everything". Well there are people who want a simple programming language. Don't these two things seem completely at odds?

They should use a portion of these funds to setup specific task forces to dig deeper into the company and provide oversight indefinitely. $4.3B is a lot of money, you could fund an agency forever and still have change.

I'm no expert either, this is just what I know from experience and through people smarter than me on the internet. I've put together some resources below for you. Apologies for the reddit links, it's just where this content lives.

encoding 10bit reduces the amount of truncation errors during the encoding, which leads to a much smaller filesize despite the two additional bits. To the point where, despite it storing more information, there being less truncation errors offsets the filesize gain to the point where you get similar or even smaller sizes than 8bit encodes.

Nothing new here, just rehashing all the previous talking points.

Seems suss. Can you find that app installed on your system and verify if it is a legit system app?

Especially the way they snake around why they didnt disclose it. "We can only disclose now". Why? They made it clear they didn't receive a court order or anything that would prevent them. They specifically mention that it was only an informal phone call from a police department.

Others have commented on the process. It's easier than you think.

One thing that might confuse you at first (after successful install) is that when you change between operating systems, the system clock gets thrown off. That's because Linux and Windows interpret the system time differently (local time vs UTC).

To match Windows behaviour in Linux run: sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

To match Linux behaviour in Windows you will need to edit the registry, I'll leave that up to you to search.

I was using Sublime Text for many years. Even after Atom came out I still used ST3. However, ST development is understandably slow compared to VSCode and it is now so far behind that loyalty isn't enough of a reason to continue using it.

I know you put bottleneck is quotes but just to explain... apparently this service is simply the splash screen that waits on a ready environment. It doesn't actually delay anything.
