Is there anything here that is unique and server side to justify cutting off email from being an open (messy but free) standard to a proprietary thing?
> so unless he tasted the crystals...

It doesn't seem too far-fetched that he would do a licked finger dip taste test to help identify what he had found, nor does it seem too far-fetched that he wouldn't want to admit his curiosity.

I would have assumed it were a bit of long lost cocaine, nobody expects to have much of a reaction from a little taste test. But LSD is pretty unique in that regard.
I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that Cuba must have the highest concentration of “hackers” of any place in the world. We were on a bus going to the far west end of Cuba (where not many people travel to) and it broke down in the middle of no where and the bus driver managed to fix it with some scotch tape and a twisted up plastic shopping bag.

I’ve been to 70 countries and the Cuban people are hands down the most entrepreneurial of them all.

Just look at how much money Amazon is spending on Prime shipping. It's insane. They're never going to turn a profit, because as soon as they stop subsidizing shipping customers will go elsewhere. There is no reason to expect Amazon's retail arm to ever be more profitable than Walmart is.
This is terrible advice and this type of thinking is a common indicator of an employee who is not motivated. The goal is to not just build but build products customers want.

By which definition? It’s trivial to switch to a different website to order from, and Target/Walmart/Bestbuy/etc have significant market share.
You can absolutely trip from a transdermal dose. The kind of prying and jimmying required to disassemble a vintage synth unit could easily spread any film or sludge all over a significant part of a person's hands without gloves. Then all it takes is a bit of sweat or touching your face and you'll be unintentionally tripping.

Out of curiosity, how does a T-Mobile error affect services like Messenger and Facebook?

I live in Canada and they were unreachable for about an hour. My ISP has no relation to T-Mobile. Is the FB network solely dependent on a mobile carrier?
In my experience:

- teslas have a big battery, range anxiety is not a problem

- it is possible and even easy to drive inefficiently

Other electric cars have small batteries, and small motors which combine to reward frugal driving.
the concentration in your vial was probably orders of magnitude less than it could have been. We know a very concentrated amount of LSD can cause tripping when applied transdermally, as its effects on humans were first discovered that way.

I'm not sure about GCP, but Azure does offer role-based access[1] which gives you similar resource authentication magic to what IAM provides. The definition formats[2] even look fairly close to their IAM equivalents.

It's used in combination with Azure Active Directory, so the modality isn't 1:1 with AWS. But Managed Identities[3] is a feature that's rolling out across Azure which simplifies the model a bit, since it negates the need to create service principles in AAD beforehand.

Having worked with crystal I have to agree. And knowing how delicate LSD is to heat, light, air, and moisture I significantly doubt it lasted decades.

Similarly, the "thumbprint" urban legends are mostly that...legends.
I also feel like it's even less believable given it was already an urban legend.

It’s hard to see the hype up close sometimes. The closest analogy I can think of and it’s an older one might be how in the mid-2000s everyone needed to make a “Web 2.0 mash-up” or how for awhile everyone needed “social” (remember Ping?)... if you were stuck with a stack based on jQuery and global variables, good luck transitioning to React without Facebook’s scale. Sometimes all you can do is try to stay organized, see a project through and hope it can evolve to something greater after the fad wears off...
It was also commonplace to use the UXTheme patcher to enable third-party custom window themes. I used the Watercolor theme, which was modeled after the Whistler beta builds before they (bafflingly) switched it out for Luna.

I have a soft spot for Windows 2000 because I was very impressed with it when it first came out (coming from Win9x), but there wasn't much point to using it over XP after XP came out. Windows XP is just an improved version of 2000, and it was updated for much longer. Windows 2000 doesn't even support wi-fi without third-party utilities.
Exporting a limited/ pared down version (say just the "content" minus formatting) to a tidy and comprehensible (human readable/ editable) .ly file would be a great feature. Probably even feasible for a casual dev to write such an importer/exporter as a plugin. Might look into it.

I thought Amazon don't use aws for their main product. Do they use it for alexa?
IAM is simply one of AWS's killer features. It's just a service that's so good it differentiates itself from the competition. Lock-in based on quality is not the sort of lock-in that I'm most worried about, because it's very clear what I'm getting in return for it. The alternative to using IAM to begin with would be to commit to work comparable in scope to that required to migrate away from it in the future.
Why not link directly to the app (https://www.trackiem.com/)? I clicked through and the landing page is pretty good. Only thing I wasn't clear about was what do the visualizations look like? Having a few actual examples of various types of graphs and what they look like would be helpful.
The weird stratified compile time language lets you create DSLs that generate and typecheck the program you’re trying to write. I’ve written a lot of C++ (and no Rust), but if the compile time language is turing complete, then you can push all sorts of correctness and type checks to compile time.

This is really, really powerful.

Even with unsafe C++, I’m used to writing very high level, high performance concurrent code. If it crashes after it’s passed CI testing for a week or so, it’s probably a hardware bug.

(Of course, there are exceptions, but those fall outside of the parts I have the compiler check for me.)
They're not competing on price — they're competing on logistics, primarily. They're losing money to offer consumers an experience they can't get on any other platform. Way more defensible than price competition.

Glad someone related, I think in the meantime I'll keep working at it because I need income somehow and this is a good way to get it.
I really wish there was more granular nomenclature around budgeting. "Budgeting" varies so much and the splash page rarely helps. So I will often have to download or sign up for the app, attach actual data (which I'm less than eager to do) and poke around. When looking at credit unions they touted their website's features but were surprised when I asked if there was a way I could demo it.

YNAB uses a variation of the "envelope method." You categorize money earned. Then that gets deducted by expenses. In meatspace you would take your paycheck in cash and split it into labeled envelopes and use that for spending. This is a simplification of what YNAB does and there are other free tools that use this method.

Mint and Money in Excel take transactions and categorize them. From there you can look at the history of the category or look at net worth or income/expense over time. When you set a "budget" it's just a number you set based on previous month's spending and it's unrelated to your income. These generally suck for non-monthly expenses like property tax or my bi-monthly trash bill.

YNAB /can/ do charts and trends, but they often encourage a "fresh start" which starts everything over and don't have great tools around historical data. So you can't look back that far. With Excel it's just a spreadsheet so if you have the data in any format you can pull it in.
I was thinking older than that, of the 50s and 60s, and early 70s. But regardless of the exact timeline, it's pretty well known than engineering trumps raw weight, even if quantity is a quality all it's own, as they say. Thus comparing apples to apples (names don't matter, size and weight and features do), the same weight car today is far safer than it was in the decades you referenced, and the average weight across all models has remained relatively stable during the same period as well other than the dip in late 70s early 80s due to the oil embargo crisis.
Any static type system prevents you from doing some subset of things that you could do with a dynamic type system. But there are obviously lots of things you get in exchange for that power. Type system evolution, usually, is about trying to colonize a larger and larger portion of that possibility space and put it under the domain of "statically checkable". It will never cover the whole thing, but it's still really valuable work and great strides are still being made.
Not necessarily. The cleanest version of this sort of thing I’ve seen is zig’s comptime. Basically you can annotate loops, conditionals, function parameters, etc to be evaluated at compile time instead of runtime. You’re still writing zig - it’s the same language; just some of your code runs in the context of the compiler.

One really nice use of this is printf. In C, printf needs a remarkably large amount of code and it’s quite slow. In zig, printf marks the format string as comptime. Then the compiler runs the code looping over and evaluating the format string, then unrolls the result into the binary. The output ends up being a few terse calls to write / format with no extra machinery at runtime. And you get clean compile errors if the format string doesn’t match your arguments - all with no special casing in the compiler.

More detail, with code: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Case-Study-printf-...

I think nim has something similar.

I’m surprised rust went with macros instead of something like comptime - though I assume there’s some trade offs I’m not aware of.
A few weeks ago I heard of this tool called saasify (.sh),it aims at making the process of building SaaS faster. I haven't used it personally but I wonder if anyone reading the comments did and what are your thoughts? Is it worth getting into it?
Not sure about that, sometimes I feel like I am only happy when I'm doing nothing. I guess this is a good analogy; bottom out, admit defeat, and then start over new. But preferably in the same industry which pays well.
LSD is volatile; there's a reason you store it away from moisture and light. I find this narrative unlikely. Even the moisture in the air will reduce the potency very rapidly.

> The Model 3 LR battery size is 75 kWh. Are you telling me a 9 kWh difference say ~15% is the sole reason for an almost 25% increase in range?

No, I'm telling you you're comparing paper miles instead of real world miles. Here's a real world range test of the Kia Niro 64 kWh and the Model 3 LR:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH7V2tU3iFc

The Model 3's extra 11 kWh only bought it an extra 15 miles. It achieved 78% of its WLTP range. The Niro delivered 90% of its WLTP range.

I don't think it is. In my experience this attitude produces poor work and is a drain on the rest of the team.

That's incorrect. Power consumption is proportional to drag * speed, and drag is speed^2, so power is speed^3, and energy per mile is speed^2.
I would generally agree with you, but it comes from a decently sized sample set (not huge, a few thousand), but also because it seems to be backed up consistently by Backblaze's stats. :-)

I dunno, but I find real assemble-it-yourself furniture to pretty much fit that description anyway.

I wanted some replacement shelf supports for a bookcase, and it turned out there are ones that are specified in metric dimensions and ones that are not, and they are like half a mm different, and so the only ones that the local big box store carried were just enough off they didn't work. Even with a hammer. And my drill wouldn't fit in the corner. So I ended up taking the appropriate drill bit and enlarging the holes by twisting it in my fingers, which hurt a bit but shockingly worked as it was a truly tiny bit of additional clearance needed and soft particle board.

It really was annoying in a rather similar manner as programming can be. The fasteners and tools to make cheap furniture should be standardized.
Interesting. Of course, generating diagrams from text isn't new. This especially reminds me of DOT as implemented by Graphviz and others, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_languag... ; DOT is widely supported.

That would be basically necessary for this kind of workflow, yeah. But the PinePhone isn’t quite at that level even; we’re talking hardware that’s going to feel unacceptably slow at fairly basic things like web browsing compared to even a low-spec x86 laptop.

Which is not to say it’s unusable, but keep in mind this is a $150 phone and the software is still a work in progress as well. If you’re expecting to use something like this docked as a workstation... well, it’s worth tempering your expectations.

Caltech is doing this -- actually, they're going test blind -- for two years. I think that's pretty notable, since I trust them to be interested in only admitting students that can pass their physics classes.
Isn't this is how LSD was discovered?
That's honestly not a bad idea- I've seen high exec turnover resulting from their own mistakes, and much of the engineering team might have been happier together under different leadership. Worked for Fairchild Semiconductor, I suppose.

Who's to say that technical priorities aren't worth prioritizing? How many times do companies treat their tech as a cost center rather than a profit center, leading to expensive mistakes? I don't understand why one would want to be an apologist for the Pointy-Haired Bosses, unless they themselves are in management.

Everyone thinks corporate fiat rule is the best way to lead- until they find themselves outvoted on a stupid initiative. Perhaps the right way to respond to it is to vote with your feet, and leave. But again, that seems like a waste if the course is salvageable.
