I've never used that feature. Can you describe your workflow for backlog grooming of Jira issues in Miro?
"The time in London, England, is 8:23pm."

"No, I meant the time in London, Ontario"

"Sure. The time in London, Ontario, is 3:23pm."

You start by doing a best guess, and actually listening for a correction. For other kinds of requests, you reply with a best guess and ask for confirmation or for clarifying questions.

Hard, yes. Not impossible.
Can anybody actually confirm these claims? I'm no fan of the new notary system, but in my experience the behavior described is not how things work. Has there been an update or change in behavior recently?

I've been running a Debian thinkpad for the last meaningful stretch of time, but from what I recall macOS quarantines any files created by the user via an extended attribute `com.apple.quarantine`. Quarantined files are not allowed to be executed by gatekeeper. It's not about a network check, they just can't be executed. If the user removes the quarantine attribute, then gatekeeper will shut up and the files will execute normally. Alternatively, if a file has a signed hash stapled to it i.e. if it has been notarized, then gatekeeper will also allow execution after verifying the signature. This doesn't require a network check either.

Interestingly, the way to bypass the quarantine behavior is to unarchive a folder. Archives themselves include the quarantine attribute, however, files extracted from the archive using a terminal program (a "developer tools" program) don't. And so macOS doesn't care. Also tools like `curl` don't apply the quarantine bit to downloaded files so curling a binary or shell script still works just fine.
That assumes we go to pre-lockdown behaviors when the order is lifted. Data show that this is not true, that social distancing and work from home started before the orders and will continue after they are lifted. Lifting them allows people to make their own choices.

From that thread:

> Can we riot on the internet?

And I think that hits the core issue. There's a lot of "eat the rich" on reddit and imgur and undoubtedly other platforms, but that's like #kony2012: clicktivism and online LARPing as revolutionaries.

Riots are always a possibility, a sports event can be the cause, and so may be severe economic issues, but I doubt that they will be widespread and large. If they happen, I expect swift and violent suppression, and since they won't be bi-partisan, that suppression will find a lot of support in the population.
Debian still feels like home. Unless I try a BSD or something without systemd I think this is probably where I'll end up.
I can look at a tool store catalogue right now, and for a 18V 4Ah lithium battery the cheapest brand is half the cost of the most expensive brand. In that case, factors like retail availability are identical - but the price difference persists.

It's pretty well known that power tool buyers have to watch out for battery prices.

Important to understand with all the US-China stuff - working class people in both countries should mutually benefit from higher productivity, the open development and sharing of technology, from trade, etc. The only thing driving a rift and opening up a "cold war" is that US and Chinese capitalists can never get along because they are competing for the same pool of profits. Everyone else has pretty mutually beneficial material interests.

So when you read about "the Chinese" (who in China?) listening to you through your toaster, there's really no reason to care or pay attention to that absurdly nationalist sentence, just as there's no reason for anyone in China specifically to listen, unless you're the owner of a significant portion of a technology company and are hiding that company's tech knowledge from the rest of the world in order to profit from it. And that's against all of the rest of our interests.

Unfortunately, probably not; the general public won’t read this, and some people won’t believe it when they see news media’s take on it.

There was an article the other day that interviewed someone who’d been on long-term treatment with the drug (for lupus) they were shocked when they got covid, because they believed that the drug was a prophylactic. No reputable scientist ever claimed that, as far as I know; it was a popular myth encouraged by unscrupulous news outlets, which won’t go away just because of a study or two.
I'm surprised that bug bounties haven't been mentioned yet. Sites like HackerOne and BugCrowd allow you to use (and improve) your skills while also potentially making some money while doing it.

It is a butts in seats equation.

If you can have less expensive operators driving and mapping the world and place all the smarts in the pipes, you can drive down opex and divert cash to capex for competitive advantage.

Linux and much of the streaming software world is smart people, dumb pipes.

If you invert that you have more automation, predictability, control at lower cost. The risk is a lot of eggs in one basket and when the market turns, if the company you are buying from mismanages tech, if they can't keep pace with change...you go along for their ride. Every company big and small falls into this technical debt. I have maby opinions on why as I am sure many do.

There is a lot baked into that comment but the constant tug-of-war every CIO is trying to wrap their head around....how do we do more with less and gain an advantage.

Fedora "just works" and has the some of the more sane defaults. Only tweaks one typically needs to do is add the RPM Fusion repos and, at some point, disable/tune-down SELinux when it is a bit too paranoid.

> If there is no desire to have adoption, then there is no compelling reason to host publically outside of convenience.

I get the sentiment, but please don't listen to advice like this. I have benefited multiple times from small Open Source projects on Github that were essentially abandoned and undocumented. Sometimes just having source code is enough. More than one of the projects I'm currently working on are essentially just forks of permissively licensed, undocumented projects that I found on Github.

Yes, documentation is very important if you want an actual professional project that lots of people can use. But I generally encourage people to get into the habit of just releasing stuff. A permissively licensed project with no documentation on Github might end up benefiting at least one or two people. Maybe it won't benefit anyone at all, but at least the possibility is there. A project that never gets released to anyone is guaranteed to benefit nobody except the original maintainer.

In general, people are bad at determining what parts of their work have value. People worry about drowning Github in tiny or unfinished trash-projects, but my experience has been that it is much easier to filter projects than to find projects.

If I have a problem, I can spend 2 hours filtering through bad solutions and reading source code until I get at least a picture of what a solution might look like. That'll be more enjoyable than spending 2 hours scrolling through unrelated blog posts or desperately trying to come up with search terms to find anything anywhere that's applicable to what I'm trying to do.

These days the only real time I wonder "wtf is this thing doing" is when I'm waiting about 5-10 seconds for my mac to wake up from sleep.
This is wild speculation from hope and hype.

First, all CPUs have local L1 and L2 cache in addition to some sort of shared L3 cache. If you mean 512 megabits, that has already been done, if you mean 512 megabytes, I don't think there is any indication that expensive and power intensive cache will suddenly made a giant leap in size. Don't forget that chips already have around 40% of their transistors dedicated to cache. Intel's given numbers for this look great, but they don't add up to what you are saying.

Caches for graphics running on the CPU are going to help mostly unoptimized software or very optimized software that works with contiguous memory chunks that will fit in cache, thus saving memory bandwidth (which looks like the biggest breakthrough here). Caches are only going to do so much for jumping around in memory.

> So this technology could massively increase the value of Intel's existing development tools and leapfrog performance per watt for rendering, a highly profitable market if you look at the CGI budgets of recent movies.

I don't think this has anything to do with Intel's development tools. There is no indication this would result in "leapfrogging performance per watt". Cache needs significant power too. Movie CG budgets are almost all based on the number of hours clocked in making them. The hardware, including power and cooling is proportionately a small part of the budget, usually around 10%-15%.
So if we kill another thousand people administering it differently how likely are we to discover it now works instead of substantially increasing mortality?
OSX used to be the OS that started really quick, and ran really smoothly. Certainly far better than Windows. Also search was lightning fast. It was a selling point on its own. But recently it has slowed to a crawl. And I have to ask, what business is it to Apple whether I store a script somewhere? I don't even want them to have a checksum. And I don't want to go through the bother of having to change settings for it either. Do they even ask if this is OK? For me this is just yet another reason to steer well clear of Apple products in the near future. Very sad, because I really used to love their stuff.

I may be biased as I helped a voice recognition internal project in a previous life.

It’s a genuinely hard problem to solve, and I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Apple for instance when they have humans reviewing samples. There may be other motivations, there’s ton of people in any of these companies, any given feature must be seen from a different angle depending on the department looking at it.

But I think a lot of what we see as privacy violating is primarily an effect of the flaws and all the hacks needed to make the feature work at all (when it works).
Honestly, I assume the Maps fiasco came down to pricing, and Google was surprised that Apple chose to walk rather than take Gruber's option #2. Frankly, so am I. Map data sufficient for turn-by-turn isn't cheap and Apple largely plans and devlops on a yearly cadence. It's essentially impossible to produce the data quality needed in the WWDC-driven-development timeframe.

> This whole situation sounds like people not liking to use a mediocre product, but just because the product is mediocre doesn't always mean it wasn't the right decision to release it, from both a company strategy perspective, and from a consumer benefit perspective

Strong disagree. A mediocre product damages the brand and a mediocre navigation service can kill people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_GPS. Releasing mediocre products when a better option is available reeks of putting the company ahead of the consumer, frankly, and it's no wonder people ditched Apple Maps at the earliest opportunity.
Hi @malisper, we totally appreciate concerns around potential uncertainty what a "Value Added Service" means.

In fact, when we were looking at Timescale licensing, we took careful look at what a lot of other like company licenses did here (Confluent, Redis, etc), and what later became the Polyform License. Most of them left this definition pretty vague -- because frankly, legal language is never as precise (and perhaps shouldn't be) as what an engineer may like.

We went a step further, and tried to define this more precisely about what it means to "offer" TimescaleDB:

(iii) users of such Value Added Products or Services are prohibited,
either contractually or technically, from defining, redefining, or
modifying the database schema or other structural aspects of database
objects, such as through use of the Timescale Data Definition Interfaces,
in a Timescale Database utilized by such Value Added Products or
Services.

[def] https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/blob/master/tsl/LIC...

What that means is that if you've defined the Heap schema, you have built the indexes and tables, and then are offering a SaaS product on this, you're fine:

- You are offering a product/marketing SaaS service around usage/product analytics, not a time-series-database-as-a-service

- You are not approaching the market and saying, "Here's how to get TimescaleDB-as-a-service" (unlike, say, Managed TimescaleDB running on Rackspace or Digital Ocean), you are saying "Here's a full Product/Marketing Analytics Solution".

- You are not giving your users direct/psql access to the raw database to define their tables/schemas/indexes and otherwise just treat that service as a hosted TimescaleDB instance.

I hope that helps!
Skinned mesh performance isn't a big issue for many developers.

I guess it's a problem if you're making a zombie game with hundreds of skinned zombies active. But the bigger problem in that case is that there's no easy way to LOD the animation or GameObject hierarchy.
That's a good example from the demoscene, but that was done as a tech demo, rather than as a serious commercial product. To illustrate the bloat of modern software, I think it's better to point to examples of highly compact 'real' software.

Of course, a great deal of effort must have gone into squeezing it down to 8MB, and it wouldn't be reasonable to ask modern developers to go to those lengths, but still.

DynamoDB is a lot more explicit about its tradeoffs. Much of the backlash against Mongo was because it basically claimed to be well-suited to any use case, when its sweet spot was really far narrower. To be successful with Mongo, you need to design the entire app around its limitations, but those limitations were initially downplayed and obscured.

People were convinced that Mongo was a good choice as a default, general purpose db, when it clearly wasn’t for about a million reasons.

I don’t think DynamoDB is marketed or viewed in the same way. The docs are pretty clear about needing to design your data model to specifically work well with Dynamo. People using it seem to generally be aware of its limitations, and deliberately choose to accept them for the sake of performance and scalability. At least that’s my perception.
Since the rise of typescript and other transpilers to javascript, this isn't very feasible.
My address has been blatantly broken in Google Maps for years now. When you enter it, for some reason it deletes the house number and just looks up the street, which ends up pointing to somewhere about a 10 minute drive away. For example, if my address was "123 Elm Street" it just ignores the "123" and searches for "Elm Street" instead. We have to give special instructions all the time to delivery drivers and other people we give our address to, to warn them and make sure they don't end up going to the wrong place if they use Maps.

I've sent feedback and error reports about this repeatedly, and even had a friend that knows someone that works on Maps pass it on to them directly. It's never been fixed, and I've basically just given up on it at this point. It's really shown me how impossible it is to get any kind of support from Google for even an extremely obvious, straightforward issue.
I can relate! My first BASIC programs were on paper too. For similar reasons.

In my case, it resulted in a trip to a neighbors house where I could input and run some programs. Mine didn't work, but it did not take too long to fix that.
I hope the full Jira integration comes down to a level that would at least compare with BitBucket pricing. Right now it's more than double.

My company would switch if the cost was the same or close, but I can't justify paying double even with all the extra features in gitlab.
I recently learned that `xattr -cr path/to/my.app` solves the “this App is damaged would you like to move it to the trash” you get when you copy an app from one Mac to another.

Yes, that is what drives me crazy whenever people say Mac is only 9% of revenue and they dont care about it.

If the Mac revenue was separated out on its own, it would be about Fortune 120, that is higher than Kraft Heinz. With plenty more space for growth. Apple only has 100M Active Mac users. There are 1.4B Windows PC.

I'm curious why there hasn't been a proper prophylactic study of HCQ. Every test I see are hospitalized and late stage. The vast majority of people are told to quarantine at home after testing positive.

I'm sure a test group could be made among them to test for severity of symptoms + testing to see the number who are later hospitalized.

I doubt it. Less than 15% of adults have student loan debt, and only a small portion of those are past due. Plus young people don’t vote. The only thing that might happen, is what has happened which is to delay payments or maybe interest, but politically, student loan borrowers are not a sympathetic group to other voters.

I've had a similarly painful experience upgrading last week. Though it doesn't seem quite so bad as the posters above, and after making a few fixes most everything is back to normal.

My one remaining serious annoyance is that my external monitor color settings are screwed up and there appears to be no fix. Reds are purple and everything is just a little washed out, which is a shame for a 4k monitor that was beautiful with Mojave.

Strangely, right before the computer restarts, or if booted in safe mode the color starts to look perfect again, but I can't seem to replicate that in normal operation.

I think some legitimate concerns are popping up with so many poorly-engineereed iot devices hitting the market. I think the fears are amplified due to simple lack of understanding. I'd propose we start certifying consumer electronics for data safety the same way we certify them for electrical safety. We should start recognizing some groups like UL or ETL for software.
