This article describes a mix of normal memory function combined with what appears to be a mix of anxiety, fatigue, internet addiction, and possibly slight depression.

First of all, all this stuff of "do you remember" is how the brain is supposed to work. Our brain stays efficient by forgetting information that is no longer relevant. Who cares what you had for lunch last week? Forgetting that is a feature, not a bug.

As for the rest, the "advice" is fairly random and vaguely insulting ("start to fucking think", "read old books", "understand that things die", "wake up entirely").

My advice would be simpler and more direct.

If you have a problem with internet addiction, treat that directly. There are many sources out there to guide you.

If you have problems with fatigue and depression, see a therapist. There are many potential causes which a trained professional can help identify and work with.

And if your main problem is anxiety, then mindfulness meditation has been shown to help in many cases -- lots of good books on this. There are many other cases where mindfulness is not going to be enough, and therapy will be required.
Every invention is just a combination of existing things with maybe a new twist somewhere. James Watt wasn't the first person to build a steam engine, he just introduced a separate condenser to an existing design.

It's really hard to find a good line of what should constitute a patentable invention. Personally I think that no software should be patentable, ultimately because I don't think that Mathematics should belong to anybody. But I understand that other people see this differently.
Windows has a stack too. Most recently used on top. Older windows are either partially or completely covered, but they always have an icon accessible. Would I dedicate a section of my screen to windows down the stack? No, I don't think I would. I guess I just don't get the zen of dwm.

>More likely, by issuing the refund via debit card, Wirecard and Verizon are able to extract every last possible penny by way of debit card fees and people who simply didn't bother to get their money off the debit card, by virtue of the friction they created for the customer with the debit card.

In my experience you don't get charged fees if you try to spend the money normally (eg. at a store). There's still the problem of spending every last cent on the card, but supermarkets and gas stations generally allow charging an arbitrary amount to a debit/credit card. I think they even have a free option to transfer the balance to your bank via ACH.

There are plenty of hot places with enough fresh water supplies that trying to conserve water is of dubious value.

The problem with fresh water isn’t the overall supply of fresh water. It’s getting it to communities that need it, when they need it, and distributing it without contaminating it.

It seems unfair to group desktop apps, web sites/apps, and mobile apps under one category of “frontend development.”

A good (read: native) and well-architectured desktop app probably has more in common with backend development, UI design aside!
This is the part of open-source that bugs me. There is and likely always will be some level of politics in play.

It depends on your situation but if you are in the US I'd create an LLC and do business with that. It takes a few minutes if you use services that file for you.

Second will be dealing with sales tax and it's a nightmare. If you sell to customers in Europe you need to pay VAT to different countries at different rates. Same goes for US states that tax very differently. We moved recently to paddle.com which acts as a reseller and so they take care of all sales tax collection and remittance (they are the one selling the app after all). We moved away from PayPal and so far it's been very smooth.

How to make a block list:

1) Find a bunch of high-quality block lists on the internet which have been painstakingly curated my their maintainers for many years

2) Combine it all into one big list. Tell everyone that you will quickly whitelist any domains if they are causing breakage.

3) Once enough people start using your list, get an advertiser to pay you to silently remove their domains. If anyone notices, just say it was to fix breakage on some obscure site.

I’m not saying that Energized or StevenBlack are doing step 3, but please realize that there are issues with using lists like these. Even if they aren’t getting paid, they might still have some undesirable whitelisted domains. They also deprive the original block list maintainers of views (meaning they might be less inclined to continue maintaining them). You also won’t receive updates from the lists as quickly because of the middle man.

If you are using Pi—hole, OPNsense, or any other tool which can run multiple block lists simultaneously, I recommend taking a look at https://firebog.net for a list of original-source block lists.

Ten years ago I worked in a building with a helium liquified for recycling. I also knew someone who bought a fancy cryogenic system that didn’t consume helium because it was worth the premium to avoid needing to pay for helium.

The @. syntax is definetly an improvement. I don't have an issue with the principle of the dot syntax just with the symbol. The examples in your link perfectly illustrate the issue. If this was a line in a long code base maybe even with mixed element-wise and matrix operations it would be very easy to overlook a missing dot. It would be even worse if the constants were floats. It is just such a terrible choice of symbol for this operation, because it is so easy to overlook.

Everyone I know always looks for missing dots if they encounter a some nonstraight forward bug in matlab (I don't know any Julia users).
The app was developed for use for myself. Then I put it online for other to use for free. The advantage (and probably missing part in the original description) is that the app was free for +5 years before I added a paid tier. So we already had a decent user base.

We are a delivery-only cookie company. We process orders online and have lots of bakers/drivers delivering thousands of cookies a week, locally. The backend system processing orders, managing orders records and customers (ERP/CRM), and assigning to drivers is all Crystal on the backend. We started almost 2 years ago and the coronavirus really validated our business model. We don't use any 3rd party delivery services like doordash so our drivers can do 4-6 orders per hour.

No frameworks. the only external crystal dependencies are: sqlite3, awscr-s3, and jwt.

I was using just crystal template views (ECR) on the frontend but its not maintainable or advanced enough so I'm slowly transitioning everything to Preact.

You are right: her turtle neck (and fake voice) were both ridiculous.
> You do not communicate the full state of your system or even a small portion thereof when you use speech.

Right, but that's not even the purpose of speech. Abstraction is a feature, not a flaw.

Even with electronic systems where perfect and complete transfer is possible, we prefer simplified serialization of messages.

> So whatever the feeling of "I'm being direct" or "I'm being clear" is, it is almost certainly itself faulty. We're not built for that and language isn't either.

I half-disagree with you here. Given that language is so ambiguous, it's admirable to try to reduce unnecessary ambiguity, when your goal is to communicate a specific message.
From the limited experience I had with an AppImage I found they usually create a .desktop file to make the program searchable. Though I have to agree that there is no really simple, gui way to install AppImages.

I banned Guava from the things I maintain a couple years ago, and haven't looked back. It's absolutely chock full of useful things. But I don't need any of them enough to justify tangling with all the breaking changes.

Say what you will of their hardware, but the system76 team really nailed pop_os. So many little things I was used to suffering through manually configuring on a fresh install were just "right" straight out of the box.

I can only comment on snap for the server (non-desktop) side of things but packages in Ubuntu, which are Debian packages, contain random (none or a lot) amounts of shell scripts /var/lib/dpkg/info/* which may fail for any reason and introduce any number of side effects into the system, as they handle sometimes very complex software migrations and can change any number of things. Surely the desktop has some history here too (packaged proprietary graphics drivers for example doing unspeakable things to Xorg configs come to mind).

Snap is a way to contain / scope this kind of scripted activity. This is a welcome change. Additionally, deb/apt has much worse transaction support than yum and its successors (you can simply roll back yum transactions, good luck rolling back a borked APT system where package maintainer scripts already have done unspeakable things to the system and you're kind of stuck). APT's configuration system is also arcane and badly documented; debhelpers that control how most packages are built and work are tens of thousands of lines of perl, python, C++, C, makefile and m4 code that somehow work but are in no way a way to build straightforward predictable packages. It's ultra flexible, but also ultra complex. The trend in package / release management is going towards simplification, and not complication. A stop gap solution were many projects that allow the generation of Debian packages from venvs, random directory trees (for which you could also use the deprecated old-style DEBIAN package format and pass it to dpkg-build without the arcane dpkg-* toolchain, but again, Debian claims these this kind of packaging is not "well formed", and who knows when it gets removed).

Snaps are just a different way to do integrated containerized applications with scoped config management, versioning and a release system on top (which makes the difference). Perhaps somebody could make a better solution. Meanwhile, RedHat introduced AppStreams -- probably Canonical also felt it needed an answer to that.

Ubuntu's exposure to their "universe" repository component, many packages in which are badly maintained and are not a great part of the release QA, is also a huge risk as an enterprise distribution (where the money is) so it is no surprise that Canonical is looking to decouple their core offering on the server platform from that and maybe at some point remove it from the base install altogether ("take your own risk") and then drop it.
The problem with his actions was that it demonstrated 'one rule for us, another rule for them'. While imploring the country to stay at home, the lead advisor to the PM (and possibly the 'power behind the throne') went and did just as he pleased.

As per your reference, in fact it was forbidden (by strong advice if not actual law) - he went and did it anyway.
It's easy to assume maliciousness in something like this but it is just as easily explained by just stupidity.

My Fiance has a fairly common name, and is the owner of the associated gmail account (think John.Smith@gmail.com). Several older women in other states have the same name...and seem to repeatedly beleive they have her email. My fiance got so frustrated with Walmart orders, amazon orders, bills, personal emails being sent to her that she tracked one lady down and called her.

The lady got angry that my fiance was 'using her email address and hacking her' and had to have it repeatedly explained that the old lady's email address was in fact slightly different (number at the end). It keeps happening. the lady writes it down wrong, her husband enters it wrong, her HOA (at her new house) enters it wrong. When the HOA got it wrong we told them and they asked us to fix it for them...We finally seemed to get some purchase on behavior change when we cancelled one of her orders via email. But the amount of information/influence we had over her accounts with just email was amazing. At one point, her husband used my fiance's email to register a bank account. We called the bank and after explaining the situation were able to CORRECT the email address for her (we decided that a bank account was serious enough to fix it rather than just be annoyed).

I think its perfectly valid to be concerned this is malicious or evil...but so many people are just inept technology users.
The other option would be to pay them. :) It's great service and pretty inexpensive, why not support them?
Devils advocate: it is plain weird for every app I install to have so much file system and system access. It’s nice to have a sandboxed solution built in. It would be nice if it was a solution that didn’t have the problems that this article listed, but snaps could be adapted to be good with a few changes.

Why a proprietary backend though? I suppose cannonical views packaged apps as a platform opportunity and wants to be the first to “capture” the users without somebody bigger coming and taking over?
It's so much easier to point and look down on CLOWNS!!!
It’s more than that though. Once the list is sorted, the next time you come back to it, the list is still more or less in the right priority. So the work for prioritization becomes easier.

I'm still haven't had a chance to learn more about this. Can pls someone put in plain english what snap is?
The irony is delicious.
As a package manager for my app snaps have really been an anti-pattern and we're considering removing support for them.

Here are some problems I've had:

- snaps use a different directory than our main app. So if you install our debian package, then go to a snap package, all your data seems to vanish. It's just in another hidden directory. I tried to figure out how to get the directories to sync up but couldn't get it to work as it's yet 'another thing to support'. I only have so much time.

- snaps have various bugs that you encounter after you've shipped the app that aren't present at build time. Mostly due to being in a container and 'reasonable' things not being accessible and needing to be granted access to via a configuration file.

The strategy I'm thinking of migrating to is to just distribute as a .deb and have our own apt line that is installed during the .deb installation. I think this is what Slack and other Electron packages have migrated to which is easier for them to support.

I mean conceptually it sounds great. Put your apps in a container. They will be isolated. Great. But in practice it's a nightmare.

To be fair though. MacOS has similar issues when they started going with isolation and privileges.

I think the main issue is that none of the OS maintainers spend a day in the shoes of a package maintainer. And if they did they don't care because they own the OS and many of these apps compete with your core product.

At least you have plausible deniability that your behavior isn't anti-competitive - you're just trying to improve the security for the user!

For example, Zoom got a ton of crap about their installer but they compete with Facetime which DOES NOT have to constantly ask the user for privileges. Apple granted Facetime these privileges via the OS.

From the perspective of a user, it's horrible.

"Can this app access your Downloads folder?"

"Can this app access your Webcam?"

"Can this app access your Microphone?"

"Can this app access your Documents folder?"

... and on and on ad nausea.
To me, it looks like a pretty clear demonstration that there really is a useful, meaningful spectrum of clarity vs indirection.
That doesn't explain why the pizza shops would continue to go along with this for years, not getting paid each time it happens. They would blacklist that address. Pizza shops blacklist addresses and phone numbers all the time.

Hell, I think half the reason this particular form of harassment is popular is because the target is often rendered unable to order pizza themselves, after getting blacklisted by every pizza shop in town.
