After some time it's looking like AI is becoming just another tool in the developer toolbox. So we can confidently say that, over time, only projects with specific anti-AI policies will be free of AI code (and actually, even such projects I'm not sure)
So it's basically a ban on most new projects, made by inexperienced developers. Which is okay I guess, if this means they can better review projects.
There is one tourist trap I have seen often, and that is thinking one needs to do a certain list of things to see everything in your one visit of the place.
Check the lists of tourist traps, see what interests you and fill your day there with whatever excites you.
While the product is excellent, it is a closed-source product that is no tightly bundled with the Opensource Python Extension. The whole situation reminds of the days before Microsoft embraced open-source. See also the bug report [1].
This is especially egregious as the whole idea of the language server protocol was proposed by Microsoft as a means of solving the problem wherein each editor has to independently implement IDE features for every language it supports (changes the number of implementations from n*m to n+m where n is the number of languages and m is the number of IDEs). Microsoft is now making it so that their product defaults to using a language server which cannot be used by any other IDE (without some owner of that IDE paying Microsft; the gnu project is not going to be paying Microsoft to allow using pylance with emacs).
There's significant dissonance here even by Microsoft's standard.
The only anectotal experience I have with Matrix and with XMPP, there is always some message that does not immediately arrive at the recipient on mobile. Signal works just as reliable as WhatsApp in that regards.
This may be because of how push notifications work on those platforms, that is applications have to contact a centralized platform (Google/Apple) to notify users instead of relying on traditional methods.
There are standards in the XMPP ecosystem (XEPs) to do that right though it's not enabled by default on most servers yet (see prosody's mod_{muc_,}cloud_notify).
Although this rant complains a lot, the programmers in the bug report acknowledge that they like this fixed, but also explain that there is architectural debt in the code that makes it hard to implement.
Being a user in Gnome, I have to say would be nice if it is there, but this will not break my whole experience.
Honestly, they should just toss the file picker and write a new one. It wouldn't be too hard to do. I've written custom file pickers in Qt before, and I've used GTK+'s API a lot for other things, it's not very different. I think they'd just need some guy to spend 3 days on it.
Also Stockholm in summer is empty. People leave the town and go on holiday, retract to the country side.
I also don't understand when he says there is/was no social distancing. That is totally not my experience here, a lot of people were working from home and commuter trains were quite empty.
What about the photos of people happily seating in groups in restaurants and even attending sports events? I never seen anyone in those photos with masks. Also, I believe schools were kept open at least before summer vacations? I am not living there but very curious about how the life was during COVID period there.
It is some cherry picking of photos. Public space activity did drop alot in Mars due to people not following recommendations (not a typo). There still was normal eg. restaurant activity just with fewer guests.
The main problem was that the authority leaders don't believe in wide testing, PPE for nursing home workers or asymptomatic transmission, I guess.
In general, any photo you see anywhere is going to be cherry-picked. Of course, that only goes so far. If you have a crowded school corridor with almost no one wearing masks, well--that happened. But it's hard to draw broad conclusions generally because of what seems like a somewhat crowded restaurant or an empty street.
A lot of people also bring their own beliefs about what is appropriate to the interpretation and discussion.
Although lots of promises in many places about distancing and masks and so forth that no one who has ever been or ever been around anyone from Kindergarten kids to college students actually really believed.

they obviously don't distance (by definition), but economic indicators suggest that Swede's do behave similar to countries that went into formal lockdowns. GDP in the second quarter was down 8.5%, which is not far off from the 10% in Germany or the US.
I agree, coops are the way to go with housing. They can be supported by the state in terms of low cost land rental or tax benefits.
I am always wondering why not more businesses are structured around coops and the state is not pushing this more.
Crosstalk is better than 30 dB, and double pass loss between ports is 5-8 dB. The switch is basically cycling through three or four different interconnection patterns that are defined by looped back fiber connections, so the signal has to pass through the switch twice.
I don't know how this was published and can be taken down without any comments by the editor.
Springer Book is one of the main scientific books publishers on the market.
At https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Dioxide-Theory-Climate-Change/... the author is quoted with some conspiracy theories about the German government intervening with Springer, because the German government is obviously afraid of yet another populist pseudoscience tome being published.
Most of the reviews are obvious fakes written by people named "John" and "Mike" who have exactly one review.
I stumbled across the book and was surprised to see a peer-reviewed book with this opinion.
Seems it is retracted now, although without any clear comment on the page.
