The deeper inquiry of mine is best practices on containerization, continuous development/integration and where security fits in the loop.
(1) Design systems and components. We'd rather use the same thing everywhere, if possible. (Unless of course, it disrupts user login and end-user experience... which is why we'll look into making it better!)

(2) I actually think this can be fixed with a few HTML attribute changes but I won't know for sure until I dig in. If you can imagine, we have a laundry list of items piling up to take care of :)

True. Apps that must communicate out in order to do their jobs are a different category.

Huh, I'm confused that this announcement doesn't even mention the existing `hub` tool, which is also in the `github` organization... this is a new rewrite replacement for it?

I agree the main thing I use `hub` for is PR management. Specifically creating PRs.

It had seemed to me that hub was somewhat undermaintained lately, so I guess I'm glad they've released a new tool which appears to maybe cover the same things, which perhaps will be better maintained.... but confused that they are releasing a new tool which does the same thing as an already existing tool also from github...
They offer Idempotent Requests[0][1] to prevent exactly this. While I think it is a shame you're in this position, I am surprised anyone would perform card transactions without a debounce of any kind (even disabling the UI element until the previous request completes/fails).

As to if Stripe should "allow" this; while I think $8,200 is too much for repeat transactions, I don't think repeat identical transactions is that odd in general. Even within a couple of seconds (e.g. 99 cent in-app-purchases). The only thing that surprises me is that there is no upper limit/sanity check.

You could ask them to waive some of the fee, but some of it might be their costs.

It was using piano rolls to control frequency hopping, not as cryptography. The intent was to make radio-controlled torpedoes more difficult to jam. That's far more munitions than just "cryptography is munitions".
One data point - someone I know has dyslexia, which very rarely comes up in their day to day life (they're an avid reader of books and work in tech) but which apparently makes movies with subtitles completely unwatchable.

Only 5-10% of people have dyslexia, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are other differences in language and cognition between different individuals that make a subtitled movie a challenge for more.

That's still pretty bad considering phones from as far back as 2014 are getting Android 9 through LineageOS (nightly builds, up to date Android security patch level).

I assume they used a version of the the iPhone button which included a Secure Enclave and finger recognition bonded to the sensor. However the T1/T2 do other stuff like disk encryption that AFAIK the phone does not have. The two devices (iOS devices and Macs) share quite a bit of DNA but have many different design criteria.

Seeing how Internet 1.0 is getting cannibalized by big business and governments, I'm hoping to see HS and other orgs start working on an offline mesh network and devise a completely new system of information distribution.

Humanity appears to be changing the public park infrastructure of the Internet into a paid-access theme park, with [them/someone else] writing the rules. It doesn't look like the righteous, tech illiterates, political manipulators or shareholder driven groups are going to relent.

The Internet used to be filled with raw data, but in the age of centralized, walled garden curating, the essence of the information superhighway has been lost.

It would be cool if they could pioneer a new way to replicate data in the age of autonomous vehicles or use the Internet to transfer volumes of data for offline nodes to broadcast and reimagine DNS and the other fundamental tools to make something like that resilient.

If they could remove most/all of the ads, marketing, monetization and censorship from the data, we might see another generation experience the raw data bliss many of use were raised on in the pre-dot.com era.

It was truly something special and felt like the world (of knowledge) was at your fingertips (instead of something slimey on the other end).
Well, it's understandable that many apps want to run as a regular process. Good old UNUX was and it's GNU/Linux descendants are quite OK with it. The users have control and can choose which apps to run and which not. If some app misbehaved, it was up to a user to identify it and remove a problem.

But Google decided that it will be our nanny and will guard all users against misbehaving apps, whether the users asked about it, or not, and you can't refuse this care. That is tyranny and should be fought against.

Now, I don't think that push notifications are bad. They are rather good idea and let them be. It is the monopoly on push notifications which is bad.

> How do you have open app stores and not have them filled with malware?

Long before the 'app store' term was coined, Linux had software repositories, which worked like magic, and without issues:

sudo aptitude install libreoffice

Boom, you now have libreoffice on your PC! If repositories had massive problems with malware, I'm not aware of them. So it was done decades ago and can be done again.

What's funny is that customer experience with business software back then was better than today.

In a normal population pyramid, people with kids will compromise a significant plurality of people. Nationwide, about a third of households have kids. In Manhattan, it’s half that.

Moreover, far fewer of those kids come from the middle class. 18% of kids in New York City attend private school, about double the national rate. Of the public school kids, 75% are eligible for free or reduced price lunch, double the national average. Applying some back of the envelope math, middle class households with kids comprise about 3% of Manhattan, versus 19% nationwide. That’s huge.

This. I try to maintain a TBR (to be read) shelf or two at home, comprising a few dozen titles, both fiction and prose.

The reasoning is that I'd rather have a choice when picking up the next book, rather than just having to read the last one I bought; as you say, you never know where reading will take you next. Often, reading a book on a subject makes me want to check out a few of the works referenced, and before you know it, the TBR pile has increased in size...
Anecdote: A user at work was assigned extension 112. Works fine on the Cisco handsets we mainly use, but when users were trying to dial it directly from their VoIP apps on their cell phones, they often got dumped out to the phone emergency menu (depending on which VoIP app they're using).

We're in NA so it was a huge mystery as to why this was happening just with their extension, took a while before we realized what was going on.

SwiftUI Webview with a Progress Bar
I had a bedroom converted into a library when I bought my house. It's about half filled with books now. I've read about 95% of the fiction and about 15% of the non-fiction.

I get a lot out of the library. It's a great place to work or study. It's both devoid of and filled with distraction. (I also had a bedroom converted to an office... which, except for the girlfriend's sewing table, is almost exclusively used for PC gaming...) Having all those unread books around means I'm never bored, and I'm always subtly being pushed to learn the things I want to learn.
I was in the market for an Android phone a few months after the Essential came out, and bought it at a much-reduced price. As others have said, it was a really nice phone except for the camera.

I'm not sure exactly why it failed. I remember showing a friend a picture on my phone once. His eyes opened wide and said, "That phone is all screen!" He was amazed by it, in an era when most phones still had big bezels.
The actual report can be found at [0] (direct docx download). All the companies listed in this title were providing "The provision of services and utilities supporting the maintenance and existence of settlements, including transport;" and the two other companies from the US mentioned in the report were General Mills which is extracting unspecified natural resources from the land in question and Motorola Solutions which is providing basically security services of some sort (cameras, ID equipment, etc).

Honestly I kind of despair for this ever reaching an amicable solution.

This is personally very disappointing to me. Like many others on the thread, I've been following the Project GEM fairly closely (as close as you could given the lack of information) and was planning on buying at least one this year. I loved the idea of the tall form factor. I want to do less web browsing and video watching on my phone and more listening to music and quickly managing my life. I know I have very long fingers and large hands, so the larger phones feel fine in my hand, but are a pain to carry since they are heavy and take up a lot of space in my pants pocket.
I agree! I would have expected the banks to pay on the order of $4k/month each.

Maybe the enterprise plan isn't aggressively enough priced, or aggressively enough differentiated..?
You are right about that.

Steroids are not "an easy way out", but rather a way for serious athletes to achieve superhuman performance.

Every so often there is some suggestion that a new generation of muscle-building drugs might work without exercise but I find it hard to believe because I'm sure the stimulation of using your muscle provides cues to the cells how to grow to be effective and that if you produced hypertrophy some other way you'd get different results.

I agree that everyone makes bad choices from time to time on the road. But as a society we put 100% of the blame on the driver if they aren’t doing everything in there power to prevent an accident. “Everyone makes mistakes” isn’t a get out of jail free card, booze clouds people’s judgement to the point where after enough drinks they’ll think they are good to drive, but that doesn’t change anything if they get behind the wheel, its still a DUI.

This guy was on his phone in a construction zone and crashed because of his lack of intervention, using a driving assist feature doesn’t somehow absolve him from being so preoccupied that his vehicle veered off the road and into a wall. Imagine if instead of him dying he had killed a construction worker; I have no doubt a jury would find him guilty of manslaughter. When you get into the driver’s seat of a car you are taking on responsibility for a death machine. I find it troubling that this conversation is happening at all, the blame should be put squarely on his shoulders.

Iff the car suddenly slammed the wheel to the side causing him to lose control or became unresponsive to his inputs, that would be another matter. But this could have been prevented if he wasn’t being grossly negligent of the risk he was partaking in behind the wheel.
We just stricter type systems.
> Again that isn't customer facing value.

It absolutely is customer facing value. If shipping this feature 2 weeks later means you can ship the next 10 features in 6 months, and the alternative is shipping this feature today but with so much tech debt that you ship the next 10 features in 12 months, then that is value the customer will see.

Similarly, if your code is so shitty that you're adding bugs to the backlog faster than you're able to fix them, that's a negative for the customer. If instead you spend 2 weeks refactoring so that your bugs+ rate is lower than your bugs- rate, that's customer value right there!

I cannot understand how you don't seem to understand this basic premise of a b2c relationship. Users don't just care about the features they have today, and if your competitor gets to market slower than you but has twice the features a year or two later (due to less tech debt), you're gonna be left in the dust.

Nobody uses Tor: Everyone is surveilled.

Few activists use Tor: Activists are easy to pick and everyone else is easy to surveill.

It's like the prisoner's dilemma, and not using Tor is like betraying others just in case things ever get bad.

1. The S&P 500 has returned about 14% per year over the past decade, so a return of 12% isn't particularly notable.

2. Market returns vary greatly from decade to decade, so we shouldn't necessarily expect this 14% rate of return to continue. (Most obviously, there were no recessions in the past decade, which is unusual.)

One of the best things my mother ever did for me was always have a ton of books around. Fiction, non-fiction. Garbage. Masterpieces. Even the ones I wasn't allowed to read "until I was older." I also had a grandmother that worked at a bookstore for most of her life. I have, and love, a Kindle, but I can't imagine a life without books.

I am, of course, diplomatic. It's more along the lines of "This is not thread safe, if threads A and B call this function at roughly the same time, you will end up dereferencing a null pointer. Here's how to avoid this: <code example>". Tooling would catch some of this, if they were running it, which they aren't. But it would not catch bad design.

Gnome's own Nautilus had direct support for spatial navigation for a long time in the Gnome 2 era (including briefly on by default in something like Gnome 2.6 before complaints reversed that decision), though it was obviously a small bit underwhelming compared to Mac Classic, and lost entirely in the Gnome 2 to 3 transition.

Yeah, I work at a bank. The VP track is often on an 'Officer of the Company' track (Officer, Associate VP, VP, Senior VP, etc). Then there's the 'Job Title' track (Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Senior Director, Executive Director, etc). Usually, you have to be a minimum job title for certain officer title, but less the other way. So you can have a Manager who is a VP and a Director that's a AVP, but not a Manager that's a Senior VP. In any case, the job title is what gives you rank, and officer title is honorary.

Other places do weirder things. I have a buddy at an insurance company who's a "Second VP" and is basically an "Assistant CIO". Never figured that out.
I really like the web push notification architecture: you register with the service you want to be notified from (like a chat server or an IRC not) and give them an ID from the push notification server your device listens to.

There’s no extra control outside of the user and the services they want to talk to (I think you can even host your own on Firefox), no vendor lockin, and the power and bandwidth usage are all great. There’s too much money to be made breaking useful push notifications and charging for ads though so I’ll be shocked if it ever gets done right on popular consumer devices.
Same. Would love some pics or some advice about what you've done to make this a place that is conducive to getting work done.
