Bullshit.

As someone who has hired plenty of grads over the past 6 years, but found that the past 2 has really tailed off, this reads like:

Not exercising, not injected sugar in your food, causes obesity, Big sugar finds.

Or

Eating grilled food, not smoking cigarettes, causes more cancer, big tobacco finds.


Are you implying that the federal reserve bank of New York has an incentive to mislead? Did you examine the study methodology?

It is not by the federal reserve bank of New York

Also, they studied one company

So, yea, going to call BS. Most of their work is on the effect of remote work within a single company and they are tacking on AI as it is topical.


I'm seeing a lot of M1 Macbook Airs around £200-250, and Pros in the £300-350 range.

What's wrong with them? The M1 was popular and now people selling them are competing against a lot of other people selling them which suppresses the price. Like it or not, Macs are mainstream and therefore aren't going hold a "magic" high price.


All new code projects at work cannot have a master branch.

However I never heard of anyone complaining about recording masters or golf masters.


I find the scrolling hijack can kick in and I have an unresponsive page unless I disable uBlock, reject cookies, enable to remove all other crap.

Even with the regulations, we don't need a dickover.

The dickover is purely spite from the websites.


> The dickover is purely spite from the websites.

No, it’s a legal CYA that provides safe harbor in case you are accused of the behavior. If a law says you need to inform, your lawyers will demand you inform even if zero cookies are used on the site.


> your lawyers will demand you inform even if zero cookies are used on the site.

How is not bothering to understand your business, using it as an excuse to hassle your customers in the worst way they have so far conceived and blaming a law that doesn't talk about cookie banners NOT spite?


> How is not bothering to understand your business

If you are a lawyer how technically competent would you need to be to have complete assurance that your engineering team is now and always will be in full compliance to eliminate all risk to allow a lack of consent.

Or…you just drop the Ack on site and not worry over it. Thats not spite, it’s compliance convenience.

The method of compliance may may not be perfect, but it addresses the legal problem. There wouldn't be a legal issue without the law. This is not a chicken or the egg situation. No law, no need to inform even if no tracking cookies exist.

> hassle your customers in the worst way they have so far conceived

By informing and asking for a acknowledgment? That seems pretty benign compared to a ton of things I have seen over the last nearly three decades.


Not sure I agree with this considering they have the double whammy of maximising giving you a new desktop, and also their default behaviour of shuffling your desktops to make sure you're disoriented.

The ideal desktop is a cluttered desk, where only the desk knows where it has stuck your tasks.


I don't see moving a window to another desktop which, for a multi-desktop environment, seems far more basic than setting to the left or right.

I've always had to use 3rd party tools to achieve this.


I read this as basically an attempt to run around the rotton borough mitigations.

They've been milking the elevated volume of calls thats been happened over the past 6 years...

> It violates the Unix philosophy of 'do only one thing and do it well'

How? This is really where it's basically a marketing fail.

Even your own link for system-boot shows that it is it's own rebranding of gummi-boot. It's not part of the init system, they just have an identically named project which has 100 utilities in it. It's dumb and it's community hostile.
