Paxcess, although I've seen the same glove sold under other brands as well. They cost me about $70. They're fully waterproof, and are in the style of motorcycles gloves. They're as warm as heavy gloves should be without the heater being on at all, and when I need the heat, I usually use the low or medium settings.

The heating elements cover the back side of your hand and fingers. They're powered by four 18650 lithium ion batteries (two in each glove). At full heat (which is very, very warm), the batteries last about 2 hours, on medium, about 4 hours, and on low about 6.

The only actual complaint that I have is that it's very easy to accidentally hit the button that controls the heat settings (it's on the back of the wrist).

Also, if you buy these, be aware that the sizing is smaller than American sizing. I have large hands and bought the largest size (XXL). I usually wear Large gloves. The gloves fit well enough to work, but I would really prefer a size larger.

I wasn't sure about them at first, but they're one of my favorite things this year.
I think `Foo` and `Bar` are supposed to be public, otherwise the example doesn't make sense.
An SSD can make a world of difference. Most of the time spent during boot up is in executing random reads (of about 4Kb size) from storage, and SSDs are a factor of magnitude faster there
Either they are padding themselves on an anonymous survey for that sweet sweet ego validation or they have gaslighted their own experiences. Makes me pretty incredulous at the quality of this sample.

It could also be some prick who converts 80 hour weeks into years of experience x2.

Both buying and selling sex should be legal. The decriminalization of nordic model still fines buyers and stigmatizes it.

Criminalizing doesn't even offer protection for the sex worker. I'd rather argue about that than having some debate on numbers.

I wouldn’t want to be that other guy. He might get disappeared via extraordinary rendition or rape allegationed into exile in some small embassy suite. No thanks!
He's not suggesting doing anything on-prem.
It doesn’t have to be a telecom. Did they say which mobile platforms? Which apps? How to prevent apps from tracking you by using the permission system built into the OS?

Instead they created an article with a presentation style that looked like a MySpace page. I was half expecting early 2000s music.
> They probably should have copied or mocked a mainstream mobile interface, that is, offer something an user from either Android or iOS would not find alien to use, then offer something more, say free Office apps, then after the userbase had grown start to build the rest.

Why would the user base grow? The main problem Windows Phone had was the dearth of apps that users actually wanted. MS had to build their own YouTube client (and IIRC got into trouble with Google).

They've sunk billions into it: enticing developers, outright paying for the development of apps, creating apps on their own, spending huge amounts of money on advertisement (I remember at one point when half of popular TV shows featured Windows Phones). The result?

It did sell ~100 million phones in about 5 years and then discontinued the entire enterprise.

So, back to the original claim:

> Give FOSS phones the same media coverage of the iPhone, possibly including its ad induced reality distortion field, and they will sell like candies.

Why would it work for a FOSS phone when it didn't for MS?
Open Source – Ionic UI-UX Starter
Thank you for sharing this. I work with marketing tech, and having this laid out allows me to share with them a little more of the tech that we rely on.

And, it allows me to remind them that our work is utterly terrifying in terms of privacy. That's (part of) why I use Pale Moon, I have control of what gets downloaded or sent to servers.
I had a neo freerunner and the excitement behind this post is similar to how I felt back then. It's just really depressing that it's a decade later and the realities of making an open phone is still... difficult.
I think there is an anti-car bias in Google Maps and similar services.

Everything is oriented around the model of "reserve a hotel", "reserve a flight", like you really are on rails like a European.

Today's online maps aren't up to the freedom that motorists have to make small deviations from a route. For instance if I drive from here to Boston I am likely to stay at a hotel en-route, that could be anywhere from Albany to Worcester. I don't have strong feelings about where, but it might be nice to find a good deal or find a place that I think is cool.

Thus I am interested in searching along a tube around my route, not clicking on cities like Springfield and running a search at each one.
I actually interviewed the author in August for our Rust podcast, on which he says he's waiting for async to mature before progressing further: https://rustacean-station.org/episode/001-ruma/
I had an interview with Facebook and was eventually turned down. I asked for feedback at least twice, and even from a person on the inside that I know personally if they could get any from the recruiter. Nothing.

Then a few days later they sent me an email asking for my feedback! I n/a'd everything and made sure to list all of my interviewers names.
Years ago I interviewed at a startup in SF. It went well except for one ex-FAANG asshole who spent the entire whiteboard interview thumbing his phone while I went down the wrong rabbit hole on the problem he gave me. No attempt to guide me back, critique my approach or anything of the sort.

I didn't get the job, as expected. But the memorable thing about the process was that the recruiter made a point of calling me to tell me I was getting rejected.

The reasons given were fairly generic as far as I recall, but I appreciated him having the class to actually speak with me.

If I ran a tech company, I'd make that guy head of recruiting.

I worked at a Fry's for about a month, this was back in 2014 and they were phasing out the blazing fast POS system he mentions and moving to a web based one. Nearly every employee hated it and it made everything much slower.
My phone uses a sim card from a verizon MVNO. I don't even know the phone number.

"My" phone number was provisioned, and has always lived, in Twilio.

I set up a simple call forward and SMS forward to my SIM number. When I land in a foreign country, I get a new sim card and just point the forwards to the new number. Easy.

I wrote a shell script that allows me to SMS from the command line from my phone number. So I can SMS people from an airplane even though my handset is off. If I lost my handset I could still SMS you.

It's also nice to have a proper date/time stamped SMS log that lives in /var/mail/sms ... I use this a lot.

My favorite thing about all of this is that I have finally removed voicemail from my life. Hint: you need to tell your carrier, with star-71, to forward to a "black hole" number at the end of your call sequence, otherwise verizon will jump in and say "the wireless blah blah voicemail box that is not set up blah blah ...". So my twilio number rings for X seconds (whatever I set the timeout to) but then the call progresses to verizon, but verizon has been instructed with star-71 command to forward calls to a second number I set up in twilio that does nothing but hang up. That's my "black hole" number and you can insert that into the end of a lot of workflows like this.

Calling has to be done with a voip app on your phone because, of course, you cannot call from your twilio number directly from your phone. Well, you could, if perhaps you called yourself and then set up some logic where you type in the phone number you really want and then twilio forwards you there, but I think it's easier to use a nice VOIP app ... I use groundwire, but whatever works.

I might try to formalize all of this and present it at Signal next year ... there are a lot of other neat things you can do ....

I think this is one of the big issues. The semantic information does make it easier for end users to find what they're looking for, but it also made denial of traffic possible.

In a lot of cases, the information was there to get eyeballs--so this is undesirable.

I guess if you don't really care about the eyeballs it can be "useful" for the big fish to pay most of the cost of serving the fraction of your server response that the end user was looking for...
Zulip is still being used for official discussion though. Discord isn't the only chat platform Rust uses.
Reasons to Wear a Kimono
The United States is one of the largest nations in the world in terms of land mass and there are thousands of counties all over the country that would bend over so far backwards that their spines would snap to enable real estate development for any number of Bay Area companies. T\he United States has a world class network of interstate highways that enables rapid motorized transit at high volumes in every state of the nation. There is also a network of third world caliber airports that are nonetheless serviceable.
> Too Much Data
> It becomes virtually impossible for the company to get back to everyone who submits their résumé.

This one seems like "blaming it on the victim" to me. You get too many candidates, you're unable to give each of us an in-depth review, you may as well say a single sentence like "You resume was quickly filtered out based on this one requirement." It's like they're ashamed to admit they pre-filter people based on hasty criteria to deal with the deluge of candidates.

> Stalling For Time
> There is a belief by corporate executives that there is an abundance of qualified candidates. They erroneously believe that if the HR department waits longer, they will eventually find the perfect person suited for the role for a cheaper price.

This explains why we don't initially get feedback, but not why we often don't get it at all.
This is because the Blackbird took off with only partially filled tanks, to lower the weight and therefore the takeoff speed. It was not designed to take off or land with full tanks.
To be fair, you need an argument from the outside for your second point. It requires an understanding of fascism to recognize that "make America great again" is a fascist resurrection myth. Classical liberals get caught up on the idea that it's reasonably-phrased and worth debating; neoliberals get overfocused on economic metrics and ignore social implications. Word games are hard.
One of the benefits of the cloud is that the developers should be able to easily manage their own infrastructure. After all, they should be the people most familiar with the performance profile of their service/micro service/application. They should be the ones making decisions like using Aurora vs Dynamo vs managing your own dB on vms or bare metal vs a Hadoop cluster across VMs. They should own their deployment pipeline with CI/CD. If you have a dedicated DevOps person or team on a pure cloud application you are either a very large organization that is coordinating across multiple development teams that each have their own infra. Or you have built something brittle and not entirely cloud native (eg self managed Cassandra or elastisearch on a cluster of VMs). (Third possibility is a complex micro service architecture where it’s nice to have someone purely in-charge of “the system view” of the infrastructure even with a small number of developers.)
Tantalum capacitors have largely been replaced by ceramics in the last decade. Also, improvements in transistor tech and subsequently in switching power supply design mean you no longer need massive amounts of capacitance (nor a giant hand-wound toroidal transformer) for stable voltage output - you get a much more compact (and also higher-efficiency) power supply with a <100 uF high-performance ceramic and 0.2 uH chip inductor.

For example, compare this ancient LT app note [1] with this modern datasheet [2]. The former recommends 450 uH wirewound inductors (see especially the humorous page 22, which recommends selecting one with an appropriate weight of less than 0.25 pounds) and 1000 uF solid tantalum monster capacitors. The latter recommends a 10 uF 0402 ceramic capacitors and 4.7 uH 0805 chip inductors.
> one of the things that makes me steaming mad is how the entire field of web apps ignores 100% of learned lessons from desktop apps

I can't agree with this enough. The whole of web development in general really grinds my gears these days. Stacking one half-baked technology on top of another, using at least 3 different languages to crap out a string of html that then gets rendered by a browser. Using some node module for every small task, leaving yourself with completely unauditable interdependent code that could be hijacked by a rogue developer at any moment. And to top it all off now we're using things like Electron to make "native" apps for phones and desktops.

It seems so ass-backwards. This current model is wasteful of computing resources and provides a generally terrible user experience. And it just seems to get worse as time passes. :/
Well, I usually prefer to write descriptive commit messages for individual commits before opening a pull request. If I feel it needs to be squashed, I will do it myself.

It crushes my heart every time someone squashes my detailed, self-contained commits together.

If there is more information in the PR than in the commit messages themselves, I will add that to the merge commit (see my other comment about merge commits).
The market had already spoken by the time MS discontinued the project. Windows Phone reached a peak of about 3.5% of users and then started declining, quite rapidly.

Given that ~100% of money was going to the iOS and Android ecosystem, MS had no chance to retain even a few percent of the market: developers would not be interested in developing software for an obscure system that brings in no money, users would not be interested in a phone with little to no software.
> The process you WANT: pick your start and end. now start searching for places in between. Your start and end are saved. When you find someplace interesting, add it to your list. Keep doing that, keep searching and adding

Am I missing something - this use-case is already supported! You choose start & endpoints, then your start the trip (which "saves" them) - you can now search and add as many waypoints as you desire
IMHO this looks like a classic agent-provocateur move, very well written to trigger identity-politics divisiveness. Flag flag flag.
I believe the question you are referring to is asking what general level of experience TypeScript developers have. I too was a bit taken aback when I saw that. I had to reread the question. They should have done a better job making that clear in the chart for people just skimming the data.

> Getting directions is simple. Even the author doesn't take issue with that specific functionality.

Yes he does. You touch anything and state is erased. Don't know exactly which one of the search results you want to go to? Tough shit, the interface works against you.

And still, getting directions used to be simpler. Now you have to decipher unlabeled hieroglyphs, and the interface keeps changing. You can't even get used to it. You are constantly being nudged to do shit that is not what you really want to do, such as "exploring your neighborhood".

> And I've never had an issue with Google maps hiding street names when there was ample room to show them, but if you're more than a little zoomed out, there isn't that room. Showing only major roads is a decent trade off, as is the mouse scroll wheel for zoom in/out.

Luck you, I guess. I have this problem all the time. A better trade off: if I searched for "Market Street", show that label! That would be a start. And frequently labels aren't shown even when there is plenty of space.

Oh, and why not show the scale of the map by default? Is this also a "power user" feature? I thought it was a crucial piece of information when reading a map...

> Or maybe it's my own failure of imagination: how would you improve in this particular area?

Easy. Revert to the interface circa 2010. It had none of the above problems.
What a pointless rant. I somehow was expecting something along the lines of "less delay in actions" but got some guy rambling about how he hates gmaps and mice.

There are lots of choices but Basecamp is actually pretty amazing, in large part because it’s so well designed that people find it enjoyable to use. Since it gets used, it becomes authoritative.

If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a shot before investing much time in other options; at worst, it’ll give you a much better idea what you need.
IU uses RHEL quite extensively, for a variety of projects. Many years ago, Gentoo was actually very widely used (much to my surprise).

Once IU got a site license for RHEL -- one of the first .edu's to do so, IIRC -- they pretty much standardized on that. In addition to all "official" University systems, their RHEL license also covers personal systems for faculty, staff, and even students (my first "real" RHEL boxes were registered to their newfangled Satellite server).
It's a Russian built system from the 90s, so think embedded system type interface. The hardware is probably rad-hardened 80s era chips. It has an important job, but that job doesn't necessarily require a ton of CPU cycles or oceans of memory.
Generally speaking, "the algorithm being a mystery" seems to be causing a lot of societal ills. What news we see on Facebook, what sources we see on Google, what pressure content creators feel. All of it causes a lot of anxiety and really only profits a small handful of companies by allowing them to dodge moderation duties. Moving companies that rely on UGC closer to a publisher probably is a good thing for the world (and content creators).
While we are at if, why not get rid of all laws? Then everything is legal and crime will drop to zero!
They are especially scared to give negative feedback to candidates out of fear that it might be misinterpreted as discrimination.

Experienced this at a local tech company that will remain nameless. They're in the logistics space. They enable fast shipping for merchants.

Did 10+ hours of a challenge project - something I would have charged $5,000+ for, including a channel-specific attribution model (with defense of my choice), a complete onboarding campaign flow with timing, and sample email creative, lead scoring model, and a bunch of pedantic questions about my background and history. 15+ pages, presentations, etc.

Did three virtual conference calls. Met the head of engineering and CEO. Went over; great, energetic conversations.

Received a call from the recruiter, poor thing, and she could barely get the words out to me.

Them: "I'm so sorry... uh, but... but it was a no."

Me: "I completely understand! Not everything is a fit. Do you have any actionable feedback for me?"

Them: "Uh, they... I mean, we... just... are looking for, more? I think."

Me: "Um, okay. Thanks for the opportunity."

They still have not filled their head of marketing role. Two months later.

(I suspect their young founder didn't like me - not a problem, but not something you can tell a candidate.)
