Related, "Currently Ryanair employees are paid around €1.50 for every oversized cabin bag that they identify" https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0721/1524508-ryanair-ba...

so should we coin a new term for this? Maybe snitchnomics?


There should be some distinction between a reward paid to employees, which is more like a commission; and one that is paid to customers or the general public, which is more like vigilantism.

one further distinction exists in that there are people poor and desperate enough to commit crimes in the hopes of bieng jailed and there by housed and fed, though as they are such meager crimes,are then released, so the 1£ reward they might try and claim would be a significant incentive. it might be easy to dismiss my conjecture, but it is the sort of thing people in compromised situations think up, as they struggle to survive in a world where the logic is very different and in many ways diametricaly opposite.....nothing to loose + something to gain= <

We used to call them Blockwart (block warden), and then the GDR took em over, just renamed them to Abschnittsbevollmächtigter, but also Hausbuchführer or just AKP (Auskunftsperson).

"The x_position and y_position can unfortunately not get a smaller type nor can a float be unsigned." If you have latest C++, you can use float16_t or bfloat16_t to get smaller type https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/floating-point.html


C23 has _Float16


More modern would be Kirous.


I really like that bundle subcommand is back. No need to use workarounds.


Old games won't get updates. That is why there are multiple separate tools that try to force the situation. e.g. Process Lasso


IMO one big issue of JSONPath is that there is no built-in sort function.


It depends on content and compression options. ZSTD has four different compression methods: Raw literals, RLE literals, Compressed literals and Treeless literals. I assume that the last two might suffer the most if content is splitted.


I don't really understand why all sideloads are put into same category. Because the APK must be signed, and e.g. you could easily verify Facebook/Microsoft/bigcompany signatures.


I don't want a world where people can only sideload apps from big companies like Facebook and Microsoft.


I think what’s being suggested is that you could install any app but verify if it’s legit via the signature.


Facebook was just caught using loopback networking to completely bypass app sandboxes. If anything, I’d want to block any app that contains a dependency they signed.


>bypass app sandboxes

Apps on android are freely able to talk to each other. It is not a bypass to be able to do so.


Excel does not output Parquet.


True. But also Excel probably collapses into a black hole going straight to hell trying to handle 21GB of data.


Excel .xlsx files are limited to 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns.

Excel .xls files are limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns.


21GB/s, not 21GB ...


mawk would handle a 21 GB csv (or maybe one true awk) fast enough.


Excel often outputs broken csv :)


I have been privileged in my career to never need to parse Excel output but occasionally feed it input. Especially before Grafana was a household name.

Putting something out so manager stops asking you 20 questions about the data is a double edged sword though. Those people can hallucinate more than a pre-Covid AI engine. Grafana is just weird enough that people would rather consume a chart than try to make one, then you have some control over the acid trip.


Can you set the time to one minute?


Graphene's autoreboot has 12 different options (excluding disabling it) ranging from 72 hours down to 10 minutes and the timer is reset each time the device is unlocked. Tbh I think a 1 minute setting would actually be nice (for things like when you are going through customs, etc) but I get why they don't provide it.


Not against it, but I'm genuinely curious what the use case would be for that?


Could be useful in a scenario where you won't be using your phone often and really want to maximize battery life.


A reboot will eat a lot more energy than a proper suspend.


I guess as a prank, just like setting the language to Chinese for English speakers.


Why would you want it to auto-reboot after one minute?

The minimum on GrapheneOS is 10 min and the maximum is 72 hours. It can also be disabled.


No, that is unrealistic. Please stop trolling


How so?

The system only reboots once it has been locked for a particular duration. Setting it to 1 minute basically says: put the system into a more secure state (e.g. purge unencrypted memory) and ensure that it is ready to go when I next need it. That said, while it is not unrealistic it would be problematic since accidentally letting the phone lock (e.g. input timeout) would result in a time consuming reboot.
