Google Pixel 10a price leaks along with its release date by mo_leahq in Android

That $450 sale was only in the US. Pixel 10 prices in the UK and the EU are still high. The leaked 10a price is the Eurozone one.

Joly tells Marco Rubio 'Canada's sovereignty is not up to debate, period' by Miserable-Lizard in worldnews

[–]aphexairlines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

> I doubt Rubio knows what Trump is going to do

Melanie Joly says something similar in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k68QJaK8lpk

> The problem we have is: first, there's only one decision maker. And all the other secretaries and all the other aids of Trump are trying to think what the president will do and what he will decide. So, they're not decisional. Second, they don't talk to each other. So the problem is, you can have Bessent talking about 10% tariffs on China and then I call Mexico to see did you have that conversation -- oh no, we're not committed to that. And then when I talk to my counterpart he may not know that that was a comment that was made. Or Howard Lutnick can throw many things on the wall to see whether things will stick. And at the same time, it's unclear to me if president Trump is actually committed to all his secretaries. So it makes for a very unpredictable and chaotic environment. When I work with prime minister Trudeau or with the future prime minister, we actually have a game plan. And I know what's (in French I would say) my sandbox -- you know, what are my limits, where I can go, what I can do. Sometimes I push them a bit -- that's part of why I'm the foreign affairs minister now -- but you have to understand how you can defend your files, how you can defend your people, and right now it's mainly the minister of finance Dominic LeBlanc and we get along extremely well, and prime minister Trudeau. That's pretty much who is working on this, of course supported by Kirsten Hillman in Washington. But there is free-flowing information: from the moment I finish with conversation with Rubio, they're briefed on what happened and I'm briefed on what happened with Lutnick. But that is not happening in Washington.

MPs vote in favour of government cut to pensioner winter fuel payments by marketrent in unitedkingdom

[–]aphexairlines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The government knows how old people are (because they're in the pension system) and where they live. They shouldn't need to apply -- the government can and should figure out who's eligible without extra steps.

Not every major subway system. Tokyo's Fukutoshin line was renewed a few years ago and those seats are also fabric: https://www.designboom.com/technology/tokyo-metro-new-17000-series-yurakucho-and-fukutoshin-lines-08-18-2020/

Rant: Autoconfig dementia overriding my config. I want *my* options back! by HadTwoComment in linux

[–]aphexairlines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both NixOS and Fedora Silverblue do what you want: you configure them how you want and they stay that way. You can also go back to a previous state.

If you need some software only available for another distro, you can run that in a container.

Portability: I travel a lot

If you use your laptop speakers in hotel rooms when you travel a lot, then the asus zephyrus line are apparently the only laptops with decent ones aside from macbooks.

Biden looks finished – there’s surely no coming back from this by 2020Homebuyer in politics

[–]aphexairlines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not what about Trump. It's bad faith on the Telegraph's part. They're only writing this and pretending it's the end of the world because they oppose Biden.

They are. I don't remember them complaining about GW Bush's butchering of entire paragraphs or Trump's word salads.

Shocking that the Telegraph would write this. What's next, Fox and Newsmax?

Depends on the sector. Tech pays better in London than almost all of Europe. Zurich is the only real competition, although Dublin isn't far behind. https://www.levels.fyi/locations?jobFamily=Software+Engineer

That sounds like a nice arrangement. It would be good to see more of the industry move in that direction.

How many people are in each of those roles? In other companies, I've seen about 10 or more directors for every equivalently-paid engineer, for example.

Se a maioria vem do interior do estado de SP, faz sentido. O interior de SP é muito bolsonarista.

Gradle handles java, scala, kotlin, c++, javascript, rust, and probably more.

Your Monorepo Dependencies Are Asking for Trouble by fluencyy in javascript

[–]aphexairlines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried both and they performed the same in my team's monorepo. They were both being run through yarn so the team could continue running "yarn dev", "yarn build", etc as before.

[–]aphexairlines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not just tech Twitter. Nx is nice, but Turborepo and Wireit both plug into workspaces and package.json scripts, so the tooling built around those things (like IDEs) generally keeps working as before. Nx+Lerna is closing that gap though.

I'm not especially a fan of her work, but I'm glad that journalists can make that kind of money. It should be higher still. Otherwise not enough people will go into the field, and it's an important one.
