Ethically I think the good old days of software products were superior to the current days of software services. Services are paid for by subscription or ads or selling data, so that they are forced to optimize for continued use. Products are sold as-is, with the hope that they are useful enough that enough people will buy them once and own it forever.

It should work this way: you spend N months making a useful product that fills a real need, start selling it, and ideally make just enough money to cover the time you spent working on it. As soon as you start selling it and money comes in, you start working on another product. This has flaws though. You have to have the cash up front to pay your own bills for the first N months. And you risk not making up the time you spent.

But what I see happening is worse: people make products that sell, get greedy over the money they can make, and milk that product to death, first by paid upgrades (which isn't inherently unethical) but then turning to subscriptions or free but selling you to ad- or data-companies.
I'm not a lawyer, so not 100% but

Article 1 part iii:

"and that it would be wrong to make any change in the status of Northern Ireland save with the consent of a majority of its people;"

A majority of NI didn't vote for Brexit, and a hard border would change the status of NI?
I think you misunderstood; I was in favor of not opening up the floodgates on iOS exactly because most people can't grasp what sharing their data leads to (as seen by their reaction: being creeped out and assuming only listening to them talk would lead to such accurate predictions)

The agreement contains a commitment by the British and Irish governments to develop "close cooperation between their countries as friendly neighbours and as partners in the European Union".

It's hard to see how we can do that as, er, not members of the European Union.

This is the standard NI-border-tail-wagging-dog argument that you can't have Brexit at all because of wording in the GFA, but it's fundamentally flawed in two different ways.

Firstly, your quote of the GFA is selective. Read the words just before the ones you mentioned, which fundamentally change the meaning.

Secondly, both the UK and Ireland are signatories to the EU treaties, including the TFEU that provides for withdrawal of a member state under Article 50. As a matter of international law, to the extent that any earlier treaty between those parties is contradicted by a later treaty to which they are also signatories, the later one takes precedence. (This is why I noted before that the legal technicalities are debatable.)

I agree with the spirit of the rest of your comment, in that advocates of Brexit need to get their story straight so there are concrete discussions to be had, so I won't comment further on those points here.
Fuck surveillance capitalism
Not if you salt them.
Same goes for trying to turn on Voice Match (and the voice activated OK, Google), a feature that's supposed to take a snapshot of your voice and activate the assistant, like "Hey, Siri!". They will force you to activate: 1. web/activity history, 2. saving all your voice requests to the Google and they push you to activate Location History.

While Voice Match learning the sound of your voice sounds like a completely local task, they will force you to keep a history of all your voice commands, searches and activity. Voice activation and match won't even work without that on. Even tho the assistant works just fine if you leave those off.

Not to mention all the rest of these that happen, they even push for these during your first phone activation.

I got my first Android phone this year after taking a very long break from Google phones in 2014, due to getting fed up with how much of a mess Android still was around version 5 and Google's unwillingness to fix the issues so I ended up switching to iOS for years. Now I decided to switch my second phone to an Android purely out of curiosity to see what's been happening to the platform and all these creepy-ass prompts in version 9 don't instil much confidence.
If a hard border returns to Northern Ireland, as it might, all it could take is one border incident to kick things off again.

This contract matters, as does keeping free movement on the island. For everyone in Ireland, north and south, and many in Britain too.
> It's fascinating how obviously smart people can rationalize their actions.

It's the classic dilemma: "People ask 'Can we do this?' and rarely ask 'Should we do this?'"
Same here, I noticed an odd shift to weird adverts when it started sending me random things that were shots in the dark, from makeup to house paint.
I usually approach with something indicating disdain for the restrictions like "I'd like as much store-brand pseudoephedrine as the ninnies will let you sell me". I've never had any pushback.
True, but hiring freelancers isn't usually the same as being part of the same team working towards shared goals.

Ideally I'd find people I enjoy working with and who have complementary skills.
It'd still be far more accurate were "crust" and "magnetic poles" flipped in the statement.
IIRC Slackware at least also supports a serial console by default when installing (I used it to install Slackware on an Iomega NAS an old coworker of mine got rid of). Not sure about other distros.
I did a few different things. For a few of my projects, I wrote a spec defining what "complete" would look like. [0, 1, 2]

For the last few months, I've been following a plan that's more loose. I write monthly retrospectives on Indie Hackers [3, 4] and define what I want to accomplish next month, but I don't write a formal plan.

Google was very light on PMs, especially the teams I was on. Microsoft used them more extensively, but even then, their main value was in coordinating with other teams and synthesizing information about end-users. As a solo developer, I don't need those things as much.

Fairness in AI/ML has been a huge talking point over the last 2 years in the community. I know of around 2 panels/conferences with major industry/academic participation in the US that are scheduled in the next few months.

Contrary to the image of mathematicians being rather consequence averse metric driven people, I have found University labs place a large emphasis on trying make sure their models do not have such biases.

It is a serious issue worth attention, but the response from the community has been prompt.
...but why would anyone ever want that?!

If people are able to move freely, then each country should be able to apply tariffs to extract benefits from the economic gradients. If people can move freely, then that's the ideal.

Institutions, governments, "nations" and companies that collapse because of the free movement of people deserve to collapse and should be left to due so. The should even be "helped" to collapse faster and harder, making sure they never rise again!
Never though about this before, but, dark themes have only recently become widespread, so I'm not necessarily faulting web devs on this.

This is a complex question. Using GTK+ in a window manager / compositor is tricky because GTK+ itself wants to talk to the window manager / compositor. So it's easy to end up in a deadlock. A DRM/libinput backend would have to be made for GDK and that's not an easy task, there are a lot of conceptual mismatches. I'm torn on whether it's the right way to go, basically.

They should ask themselves why the women want to run away, but i know, i'm just being overly gnarly again.

"Under her father's guardianship, she watched her teen brother spend a $1,600 monthly allowance as he pleased, while she begged for money to buy the most basic products. "I couldn't even buy anything for my period," she said. "It was my brother who paid for it, all the time, and he was younger than me.""

How awful that must be, for her to know that societies in foreign countries dont treat her like that..
I recently decided it was time to get a better understanding of how makefiles work, and after reading a few tutorials, ended up just reading the manual. It's long, but it's very, very well written (a good example of one of the Gnu projects biggest strengths), to the point where just starting at the top and reading gives an almost tutorial-like effect. Just read the manual!
I understand the article is not about web site tracking, but the Norwegian Consumer Council should not be permitting readers of that particular piece to be tracked by Google, or have an eight-month tracking cookie dropped by them. Either way, it's good to read another authority detail such unethical practises.
So once "the end" comes, you'll be set for a good 4 hours before your phone runs out of battery?
> and Interpol had already come calling to her flatmate

Is Interpol involved here because it's a possible international missing persons case? Or was it already a "criminal" investigation based on a warrant issued by Saudi Arabia?
Purely Conjecture:

A friend works there as a video editor and they work exclusively on the weekly show, which kind of leads me to believe that they probably have teams allocated to a single property. I also know they'll work on one episode for a couple of weeks, so they have separate teams of people working on separate episodes at once.

Edit: my friend was a freelancer there for a few years before they were hired
I'd love to see them try this in the EU.
I used it for one of our onsite DNS servers (as a VM). Seems to be working well.
Control over finances, movement, and who someone can talk to are textbook signs of abuse. It's crazy to see it engrained even at a governmental level.
"I believe the Common Travel Area is also a key issue as it commits us to open travel through the border which on the face of it seems incompatible with leaving the customs union."

No, this happens elsewhere already.
Compare Norway - it is in a common travel area with the EU (Schengen), but out of the EU customs union. They're different issues.
It cannot possibly be in the future, because that would give the UK control over our borders.

I know that you're trying to set up an argument where it's supposed to be the EU's fault if border posts appear, but that's misleading. The UK changes things, the UK is responsible.

Interesting, I definitely believe you after reading Dan Luu's posts a year or so ago on keyboard and terminal latency.

However I use mate terminal every day and it feels like it responds instantaneously, even over a USB keyboard connected to a dock connected to a laptop.

Maybe as long as the latency is below a certain threshold it is no longer noticeable.

It's not about dark themes - I don't think it was ever right to set one colour without the other as I don't believe (may be wrong) that the CSS or HTML standard ever said anything about default colours?

Thanks for reading!

Yeah, I've never considered myself a huge spender. I'm still happy with my decision to pay for an expensive apartment close to my office when I was an employee because my income was high and not having to commute saved me so much time and stress every day.

But early last year, one of my readers sent me links to Mr. Money Mustache and his ideas about low-spending / FIRE definitely influenced my thinking.
It makes no sense to put it anywhere.

Because you can't put a new border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Just because it does more trade with England doesn't mean anything, that's because England is bigger. What's more important is that you can't put a border or wall or customs check really between NI and Ireland.
I just undertook something similar to what you are describing. I'm currently in a data analytics role at a large company and had been looking to get my MBA at a respectable school to transition into product management. I went into a part-time bootcamp with the goals of 1) improving my own technical understanding to be able to run a product team 2) bolster my MBA app profile and 3) be able to prototype and build my own things if I ever start my own company. So definitely not with the goal of being a developer.

I am going to business school this fall and am quite happy with how everything turned out. I really enjoyed the bootcamp, fully understanding that the material was more or less survey-level. People will also tell you that bootcamps aren't necessary because you can self-learn and there are lots of resources out there - but I believe that to be true of almost anything nowadays. The toughest thing for me when understanding coding and development is distilling down the massive amount of info out there and having the context of relevant technologies, how they are used, what's important etc. which I think would be really tough to learn on your own. Also having a structured environment and learning with a cohort is something that should not be discounted.

If you think this is something you might want to do, I'd say go for it. I'm not sure you'd go from a 3 to an 8 on tech chops, but maybe a 6 and then depending on how much more learning you do on your own. It's also a lifelong learning thing - so the value is less about the specific languages and frameworks you learn, and more about knowing how to build an app and the process of coding (since it will all be different in 3 years anyway). I'm also not sure how much the bootcamp bolstered my applications, but I found it to be a valuable experience nonetheless.
I second this. I'm self-educated, do a lot of freelance work and end up working on a huge variety of projects. While I feel like I've got a pretty good handle on languages and general programming, sometimes it's really difficult to find good quality information on the specifics of how to implement project x on platform y.

Genuinely interesting article, a shame your shit title is getting it flagged.
There's always something rich about these articles being posted online. I promise you the author of the article has no control over the business decisions Fast Company is making. While he ethically believes what he's writing he also knows how completely impossible it is to actually change the business' mind.

The only way a business changes is when there's a detectable impact on their income.
The available range of frequencies is smaller in 2.4 GHz, so fewer networks can run in parallel without interfering with each other. Even in early standards with 20 MHz channels, you can only fit 3 networks in 2.4, vs in 5 it's more than 10 (exact number depends on region and other special cases). 2.4 Ghz is also somewhat better at getting through walls, which one the hand is useful, but on the other means in a dense city networks from further away can interfere.
I rarely see the electrolyte get very far from the capacitor, so I’m guessing that it wouldn’t be an issue. Once it dries, it can be hard to remove, but since it rarely makes it far beyond the capacitor itself, I haven’t needed to wipe it up. I’m also a little afraid that using a wet paper towel might just spread the stuff further around and cause a short, but I’m not sure. The biggest issue could be the fact that the capacitor itself probably doesn’t work, which might be problematic if it’s in a PSU or similar.

Since the oldest hardware I have is from the mid-90s, I suspect the problem would be more pronounced in older machines and a re-capping job might be warranted then.
