It's not helping unfortunately, it's just a blanket change in colors by some filter. The taskbar highlight is bad to begin with. Ideally the should use red/orange for warning highlights and used bright white. But a weak pink isn't going to be more visible even if it was turned redish. It'll still be weak.

And it does change every other thing on screen, which won't be good for me since colors aren't an issue normally, and even worse if it affect screen sharing. Taskbar changes is just straight up bad UX that tries to look good.

My experience with W11 on the work laptop.

Taskbar sucks, maybe because I'm colorblind but I can te what my selected program is and programs with notifications (Teams) look like the focused program. Apparently notification boxes there are pink now. Can't find any accessibility setting but fuck the colorblind I guess. It feels wrong to click the highlighted icon I for years have learned will mean that I minimize it...

And why all the dots? And why is the notification dot the largest, so I can even tell which window is actually focused?

Outlook doesn't open with focus, especially the window that is supposed to pop up and warn me of upcoming meetings. Really annoying.

Teams notifications just don't show if you are in a meeting and that is focused, they used to do that on W10.

Might be a Firefox bug, but there's a lot of new visual bugs. Github diff view is randomly strongly colored, and randomly changes to the old weaker background colors when scrolling/resizing the windows. And a surprising amount of scrollbars in grids that weren't there before.

I just wish W11 at least worked with the regular features of W10.

I principally agree with you, it's why I use reddit/lemmy and not 4chan.

But there is a difference, albeit hard to convey correctly through text. But I think some of the extreme responses mentioned are the ones in the banter type. It's a kind of response when someone jokingly says "Star Wars and Star Trek is pretty much the same" and you go "I'll skin you alive" due to the unjust comparison. It sure as hell don't work with strangers, but it can within an community since everyone knows neither party is serious about it. Which is what the original post kind of says that it can work in the right community.

At least Rust compiles down to what is used. I don't know if js has any of that, but at least with rust the final program doesn't ship tons of bloat.

Tesla somehow manages to do well(at least prior to the nazi events). Still at a good price in Norway.

But all other manufacturers have dragged their feet with EVs, and that price cost of starting is large enough that they are in trouble. I'm not a huge fan of China, but they did the investment and are ahead exactly because of that (and crazy subsidies). Being left behind is their own fault imo, and I think that applies a lot to EU as well. Eg. WV.

In modern games, I think it's fairly common to have a common 3d skeletons share names. So you can make animations like the one above apply to any character even if they have differences. It doesn't mean that dog extends human, but it may mean that a dog model shares a lot of common "bones", that are used for movement, with a human model.

So when a human animation is applied to the dog, you can see it warp to start position of the animation, move, and then then stop at the end position as a standing human, before warping back to idle animation (when it turns back into the dog shape)

Related, weapons in Destiny also share the same components across weapon types, and bugs have caused one weapon type to be used for another weapon, making funny things happen. Like how a hand canon (pistol) stretches like a bow because it's model got used in place of the bow model at the start of this clip:

I know my product managers don't use chatGTP because they end all sentences with ... , every damn time. And I'm fairly sure their habit developed independently, given that one of them is from a relatively recent purchase of a company.

None of those issues for my main IDE, though Rider on some occasions do get stuck marking some spelling errors after they are fixed.

It has stuttered a few times, but pretty rare. But it does have a bug where it think it is building a project, but isn't. And requires a restart to fix... Easy to trigger if you try building a project while it's loading the project...

Visual Stuido with Resharper is the one where things would randomly stop working though. Especially hotkeys would sometimes stop working until I restarted it. Slow and stutter too.

In my country the consultant company i work at shifted to only going for hiring experience / senior people once interest rates went up 2023-2024. The economy being worse reduces investments, and naturally consultants are less desired during those times. So we didn't even meet hiring goals for 2024, we barely grew. I think expectations are a bit better this year though, if that is a indication that also applies to your country/place.

It's a strong contrast to where I, with Master degree in non-tech areas, got a developer job shortly after university at this company. Things were pretty desperate "hire, hire, hire" back then. It also helps that my country is less bad on interviews and such compared to the US.

Not sure if this advice really applies, given i haven't used Git for any reports myself and I don't know how you are doing the text based project. I did pretty much all my uni reports in a online latex document site which allowed shared editing, so there was some history but all edits were live to the main doc.

But with the power of latex at least, you can have the main file do import and usages, and maybe some setup. And then combine other files representing anything you want. Such as one for front page, one per chapter or one for appendixes.

Then just can do changes/new sections in feature style branches, and it's up to you if you want things to go to the main branch, or have a dev like branch where further refinement can happen if your work is structured and not all over the place like my report writing was.

A worthwhile note is also that pretty much all US car manufacturers have dragged their feet doing EVs, excluding Tesla. So naturally US car manufacturers are struggling a lot with the massive costs related to adopting EVs now, and struggle competing with a country that spent this money getting established a good while ago.

The subsidies are still a problem, but the 100% tax is in my view a massive handout to domestic manufacturers that never bothered to try until they were behind. That 100% price increase in Chinese will probably mean high margins on EVs for yet some years before cheap alternatives come along.

I'd expect modern cars to use proximity detection which means the fob only needs to be with you.

Like my Peguot has a fairly large fob, but it's just in the pocket of my jacket. Never leaves it. I guess it's a problem if you don't have a semi permanent thing like a jacket you use every day though.
