What do people do to stream to their phones. The article just mentions Wireguard, but how is the media actually played?

Is the full-sun photo edited to remove the paramotor? I just realized it was in the video shot - the head-down dive “tracking” position of the skydiver in the video happens only a few frames after jumping, only for a few frames, and after that he’s tumbling a bit against the sun, with the paramotor still visible. I’m guessing even if the video and still were two different cameras, they wouldn’t have been far enough apart to catch the skydiver without the paramotor?
In the behind the scenes video the photographer makes an offhand comment that yes, he was going to take the silhouette of the skydiver (and maybe some of the immediate surroundings) and composite it with a mosaic of sun images taken around the same time (but without the paramotor present).

That's the entire point of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" definitions like intentional starvation. It doesn't matter what the justification is, they're not allowed by the international law and need to be punished as such in all cases unconditionally.

> I think one of the major problems with open source development is its hard to ever remove anything because the vocal minority who likes it will hound you. But removing things is just as, if not more important to good software as adding features.
As opposed to non-OSS, where removing features that paying customers care about is of course trivial?

I don't mindless comic and its original context, but it's gotten extremely old seeing it wheeled out to justify completely discarding user input on any change. Sometimes an update does break legitimate workflows, and that is bad.
The difference is for proprietary features, you can just charge that subset of users that care for its maintenance, using that money to hire additional developers, etc. For OSS you instead have a relatively fixed budget of time & resources and have to balance competing interests in a zero-sum manner. On the flip side, there's nothing preventing the vocal minority from forking if the feature is important enough to them!
Can they be? I'm not sure they make NUCs designed for mobile power draw without the battery.
There are a good amount of lower power ones (e.g. with an N100 CPU) that draw ~15W usually and not that much more at full bore, and some of them are starting to come with USB-PD power inputs (even if they come with a DC power adapter some will accept USB-PD on another port).
Look for "PD in" on this sheet for some examples (columns BW-BY): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SWqLJ6tGmYHzqGaa4RZs...

Not mobile as far as I know, but Prodigy (prodigygame.com) is allowed/encouraged at my kid's school and has a lot of these traits. There are treasure chests at the end of a battle, gems or coins collected, and a constant reminder that subscribers get more rewards. Many of his classmates subscribe.
Ugh, yes. My kids play this one at school and when I read about the game mechanics I was super disappointed. Luckily they stopped begging me to subscribe eventually since I wouldn't budge.

I agree that the EU and the world needs to move aggressively on clean energy (including nuclear), climate change etc.
But I really hate this tendency to overly micro-manage the economy.
Yes, gasoline cars pollute, but then the solution is to price a mitigation of that pollution into gasoline, even if than means it'll cost 20€/liter.
It's not to ban one particular category of devices that happens to use gasoline by some arbitrary date.
It's especially stupid because out of all the users of gasoline, cars are some of the "cleanest" due to emissions regulations.
Then middle and upper class people will just keep on polluting at marginally lower rates. The only real solutions to this problem are ones that get the will & finances of the upper classes involved.
"Do responsive things. I didn't spend most of my early career convincing clients to let us do a responsive website just for you to serve me up a boring layout that kicks down to your mobile layout as soon as you are less than 1200px."
Can anyone elaborate on this? I feel like I'm missing some context because a desktop layout that kicks down to a mobile layout at a breakpoint sounds like the essence of doing responsive things.
Obviously there are a ton of other aspects of responsiveness, but specifically calling out the layout change makes me think I misunderstood something.
Having two completely unrelated UIs – one for mobile, one for desktop - isn't really responsive. When done that way there's some point (e.g. 1199px width in the OP's example) where you suddenly have a tiny mobile web site with a ton of blank space on either side (or worse, it stretches it all out to fit and all the blank space is within every single button and widget).
There should either be several progressively more "mobile" breakpoints, or even better, use component queries so individual chunks of the page can rearrange their contents as their available area shrinks.
What gets me is when fancy-pants JS devs disguise complexity and features nobody has asked for behind native html looking controls like select menus.
I see this most often with the city and state inputs, where city is a text input and state is a drop-down/select menu.
As a Texan, I will type my city, tab to the State select menu and type "t" followed by another "t" then tab to the next form element.
But what I'm seeing lately is a text input (search field) dressed up like a drop-down menu... So my t , t input results in a text search for a literal "tt" instead of selecting Tennessee then Texas. It's so aggravating.
Now if someone chooses to click the triangle in the drop-down menu, and scroll through the states, the element would work as expected... If you only wanted to interact with the element with you mouse.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This is (was) largely a problem caused by holes in the web platform. Historically it was incredibly hard (if not impossible) to style or otherwise extend the behavior of a true <select>, so most apps had to reimplement it (poorly). <selectmenu> seems to be the new styleable built-in replacement.
And then because code sharing across apps/frameworks/companies/etc was historically very hard, only really big companies had enough headcount to build fully functional, accessible, customizable replacements for built-in components. Web Components solve this, allowing global collaboration on common leaf node components like <select>.
