The capabilities that I paid for are what I got. I did not pay for a device that lets me install whatever app or widget I want. I paid for an iPhone knowing exactly what it was and wasn't capable of and I paid for that specifically because I know that Apple doesn't need to dedicate resources to anything other than my device. Taking that away changes the entire ecosystem and all the benefits presented by it.

Look at Macs vs. PCs. There are entire industries dedicated to fixing the problems presented by the amount of options available on a PC. I don't want that. I want a device that I know works to do the things I need it to do. If the day comes where I need to do something I can't, I'll need to find another device.
The screen refresh rate on these devices is measured in seconds, so a few hundred millis of network latency is impossible to display.

You seem to be under the impression that IndieWeb is a formalized organization where the people operating under its banner are being paid by said organization.

In reality it's a set of shared goals, which a lot of the people disagree on facets of implementation and the like, and a collection of generally-agreed-to protocols that people can choose to support as part of interoperability with other websites.

I am fairly active in IndieWeb spaces and I disagree with others in these spaces all the time. I've also certainly never accepted any Google money (or any other sponsor) for my contributions, not that it's even been offered. This is the first I'm hearing of "us" being sponsored by Google.

I've seen plenty of material support from Mozilla (because there are several Mozillians involved in the projects) and Okta (for the same reason). But those aren't in any way signs that those companies are steering the decisions being made -- they're just offering things like hosting rooms and providing food at our mini-conferences and providing t-shirts and whatever (and those t-shirts, as far as I know, never have any sponsor logos on them).

Also, we take a more user-centric view of things; while we'd all like people to be on their own self-hosted websites and free of the big social networks and so on, we understand that it's not realistic to just ask everyone to jump ship all at once, and running your own web presence is not what most people want to do. It's much better to build bridges so that people can connect in whatever way works for them, and that's why there are services like brid.gy and so on which people run out of the kindness of their hearts, and paid services like micro.blog that try to make it easier for people to dive in without having to Do All The Things, and people who work on IndieWeb integrations for Wordpress and so on.

And I'm very grateful for things like brid.gy; most of the comments/responses I get on my website come in through that, via people on Twitter and Mastodon and occasionally Reddit. Sometimes I get webmentions from other IndieWeb users, but they're the vast minority. And same goes for private-post logins; most people log in via Twitter or Mastodon, and a bunch use my email-based login mechanism as well, and very few actually log in via IndieAuth. If I were to restrict my interactions to pure IndieWeb I'd have a very lonely presence.
Lemon_Duck cryptominer targets cloud apps and Linux
Ah but he claims he actually did that to sell waterproof iPad cases, according to the end of the article. Makes sense to me.
Yes, if that the client does not itself automatically log messages, nor if the server does, or some log bot; some people say that IRC doesn't support server side logging, although actually it is the protocol which has no standardized way to access it, and an implementation easily can do so (you could mention the way to access it in MOTD maybe, or mention the relevant HELP topic in MOTD). (Private messages probably should not be logged by the server though, nor should messages on private channels or passworded channels, I think. Some implementations might only support logging for permanent channels anyways; I think I have once done that, but I lost it now.)
Single database on all cities on the world [pdf]
We need a consumer-grade NAS where you can push a button, pop out the crappiest drive, shove in a new drive, and after an hour it goes 'ding' and you are ready to go to the family reunion and take a crapload of pictures. Those are, of course, never going to be an all-drives-at-once affair like you illustrate.

I wish Synology or Drobo had invested in solving this problem for everyone instead of doing their own proprietary solutions. Drobo has a whole filesystem, Synology has logical layer on top of RAID and/or btrfs to simulate this for some configurations of disk. In both cases, slapping a single higher capacity drive into the array gets you no increase in disk capacity. So every nth upgrade you are looking at 2 sequential rebuilds.

Based on my ~8 years of experience managing ML teams in big companies, I’d say it’s closer to 80% of cases.

“You can’t deploy correctly because of data scientists” is a failure of SRE organizations to provide support, tooling and training.

In fact, most data science and ML engineers are quite skilled in systems engineering, because you have to do so much work with GPU hardware issues, underlying scientific package management, efficient data transportation, etc.

Editing some kubernetes config, hardening a high traffic web service or optimizing a query based on an index are trivial by comparison, they are just boilerplate timewasters that need to be a different team’s job to automate.
To be clear, you're requesting a material that is optically thin in the narrow range of EM radiation that is human visible but relatively opaque otherwise. Obviously particle radiation in general is just blocked by matter. However transmutation the material undergoes has to /also/ maintain these properties.

I can't think off the top of my head why it would be /impossible/ but it'll definitely be an engineering nightmare compared to good camera feeds and a few scattered "Star Park" type facilities.
It's also amazing how quickly one can do a number on a table when one discovers that a nice dark patina over a lighter wood makes for a really interesting version of scratchboard. It's really fun. Or at least, it is until your parents find out.

I actually think the very concept of antique is complicit in the problem here. Once upon a time, furniture was furniture, and, while nice old heirloom furniture was still nice old heirloom furniture, we didn't have things like Antiques Roadshow to tell us, "Gee, it's too bad you used that as an actual piece of furniture, because it could have been worth $20,000, but now this and that and the other thing all mean it's worth only about $3,000."

I find it very interesting how different people deal with this aspect of life. I've been WFH for 5 years now and mostly work out at home, and I'm fine with it. The exception is when the kids are home all day, which makes WFH a lot harder, but that is not a "space" issue, its a personnel issue :)

What do you think drives your need for separate spaces? I'm lucky enough to have a SFH in the suburbs, so I can move around within my house a lot, so maybe that is part of why I find it fine (although my wife hates working from home still.)

Hmm.. for distinguishing senior engineers from juniors I would look beyond just knowledge on technical topics. Two important areas to cover IMO for senior candidates, beyond coding skills:

1. Design / architecture / product skills. Here I mean 'design' in the software sense: can you design a good API, can you structure a large project well? Do you have good enough product intuition to work well with a product manager and a designer?

2. Past experience. What have they shipped in the past? How did they deal with difficulties like conflict between teams, deadline misses, uncooperative team members, etc.
Ethical Vendor Benchmark Manifesto
I like that Firefox really separates profiles and sort of requires a relaunch, which in some ways is a security blanket of its own. Make a shortcut to "firefox -no-remote -profilemanager" or individual shortcuts to "firefox -new-instance -P {profilename}". Build your own launcher UI in your Desktop or your Start Menu or Dock. Use different icons and really separate "work" from "personal".

(I use a mix of profiles and containers myself and a mix of Firefox mainline and Firefox Dev Edition.)

I've also noticed google has developed an extreme recency bias in search results. If you're searching for a term that is somehow related even tangentially to any hot or trending topic over the past year, it is virtually impossible to find relevant, yet dated sources on that topic. I know I can do the timeline filter and all that, but sometimes it's not obvious what window of time you should be searching, etc.
> Are we at that point yet?

Yes.

Shameless plug: I'm giving a talk at Elixir Conf next week on using Gleam with Phoenix LiveView. One of my demos is an emulator I wrote in Gleam that I render and control with LiveView, in the browser. Plum Mail [0] is also a Y Combinator funded startup implemented in Gleam.

The community + ecosystem is small and in its early stages, but there's a lot of exciting stuff happening.

The US should stop subsidizing rural communities. It is bad for the environment and people that want to live out there should have to pay the real costs of serving them.

One possibility is to reduce the days mail is delivered to rural communities to cut costs.
I mean the sentiment lacks nuance and it gives context to why someone would use pejorative adjectives about Russian-anything even when referring to search engine results

And you can pinpoint which generations of people are likely speaking by their use of said pejoratives on otherwise benign subjects
> "Manually changing region to Russia gives many more results."

This probably explains it: DuckDuckGo indexes different languages together in one big index internally(?). "VK" returns many results in Russian, filling some maximum number of results. And then a filter just removes all the Russian ones if you're searching from a non-Russian locale?
Actually that might work.

Through it should be noted that the valved mask where still reasonable good.

Actually even a bandanna reduced the amount of water droplets in the air by nearly 50% (if I remember correctly) or at least the one they tested did so.

But fleece turned out to be terrible as it spliced the droplets into many smaller ones without hindering them much increasing the total amount of droplets in the air.

Thinks like that are why I thing we should have a larger study with that method or similar methods.

Because we don't know if all fleece masks are as bad or even worse then no mask or if it was just that fleece mask and if therefore we need to count fleece based home made masks as wearing no mask.

(This also would mainly affect people using fleece based scarfs as both scarf and mask as well as people having a fleece based cycler mask and using it as a protection mask too)

Interesting how easy to track down this person. They used the same username everywhere and the first Google page shows their previous username which leads to basically everything about that person including real name, location, address etc. I bet some news site will doxx them and make a good story about it.

Especially if you've witnessed the absolutely extraordinary beauty of a total eclipse, imagine living in ancient times, believing in active and utilitarian gods, and witnessing a total solar eclipse during a battle

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Eclipse

This may or may not have actually happened, but I'm not sure that changes the fun of thinking through what that would feel like. At the very least, it would have been the case that many folks witnessed an extraordinary event that their friend, a few miles away and outside the path of totality, would not have seen.

It occupied a second or two of my attention when opening a new tab. Sometimes I got suckered into clicking on an article, which I almost immediately regretted every time.

I clicked to disable it and moved on with my life. I find it unfortunate but not worth more than the two seconds of distraction it already took from me.
Code signing requires an Apple Developer account. Without being about to sign a package you can't publish to the App Store.

You can develop apps for iOS and OS X, and then publish to (a) test device(s) from XCode without one, but that's about it.
From the article: "PGO was initially introduced in M53 for Chrome on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) […] In M85, we are rolling out PGO on Mac and Windows using Clang."

So it sounds like they've been using PGO for a while using MSVC, and now they've started using PGO with Clang.
It is (used to be?) a pretty common google "hack" to put an intitle:"index.of" on a search to find sites serving files, usually mp3s. Of course once this was widespread enough, SEO spam sites starting including it in the generated clickbait sites.
FWIW, #1 is both easily fixed and AFAIK mostly already fixed (making cookies additionally scoped by origin of the requesting page, preventing "third-party cookies"). To the extent to which it isn't fixed, it should be fixed at that level.
Yes, by "making the switch" I was not referring to just suddenly become director material. It is basically how I can change how I learn. What you have mentioned is useful, thanks, and I am trying my best to do all of those, but how I improve is linear at best. I see others who grow better than linear, and would like to emulate them.
Ultimately my goal is not to just strive towards a Director, but to become a solid performer who strategizes/works like one.
It's unfortunately not uncommon for such images to appear on the Russian internet. The Youtube thumbnails are possibly things that were linked to from VK communities. Or maybe there are links in the content somewhere.

If I go on Yandex and search "img " and then a bunch of random numbers, I get almost all pictures of young women, and many pictures of underage girls in provocative poses.

This sort of thing does happen. A few months ago, people discovered similar results on Google Images(!) by searching "TV television and film". The results were being pulled from a 4chan archive of the board with that name.

I don't think it's related to the "VK" web results problem though. If you search "VK," or "VK!" or VK with any punctuation, all the web results come up as expected.
In the sentence to which I replied, the antecedent to "that" (in "That’s a perfectly logical thing to do") was not "negotiating" it was "leaving the state".

WebBundles harmful to content blocking, security tools, and the open web
I've owned two IODD drives, one a "Zalman VE300"-rebadged IODD 2531, and a IODD 2541. Both second hand when I had them.

After a few years of heavy use by me, the 2531's firmware corrupted. Reflashing using arcane prayers, legacy software flashing tool, and a physical Windows XP box got it back up and running. I gave it to a friend who still uses it.

With a 120GB cheap (no DRAM) SATA SSD, these things are fantastic.

I vaguely remember having some hassle initially formatting the drive for the ISOs once, but after that, it's worked flawlessly for so long I can't remember the details.

Despite both working solidly, I really want a Mini just because it would let me slim down my toolkit further.
> "Markets" in this case eat themselves.

Being able to pass local regulations is a perversion of the term "markets". By that logic, the entire world is a free market, even those countries where national governments have been "captured" to suffocate markets like Cuba and North Korea.

Either that, or we need to then come up with a term to describe "property rights free of any regulation". One of my links even describes it as "laissez faire" land use policy, which is what we mean when we say "markets".

The solution to the problem is to actually strengthen property rights: by allowing property owners to build whatever they please on their land without the permission of their local community. We already do that for life and speech — you can't vote to kill somebody, nor can you vote to prevent someone from publishing something. Why then can you vote to prevent someone from building an apartment building?
I don't understand this argument of pushing for change and if people don't like the change, well don't use it.

A Bizarre Spacecraft 'Flyby Anomaly' Has Been Baffling Scientists for 30 Years
Just wow: Epic Games moves this Court to allow it to access Apple’s platform for free while it makes money on each purchase made on the same platform. While the Court anticipates experts will opine that Apple’s 30 percent take is anti-competitive, the Court doubts that an expert would suggest a zero percent alternative. Not even Epic Games gives away its products for free.

Plus the more or less: why is this an emergency when you decided yourself when to violate the agreement?
The larger issue is that there are a large number of employees who elect not to use Medicare Part B. They continue on the USPS health insurance plan after they become eligible for Medicare. That's not to mention all of the folks who were in the military, got a civil service job, and will retire at 65 with two pensions. If you can suck it up for twenty years in the military and 20 years at USPS your retirement will far exceed the majority of the US.

I think you can frame it as specialization without making it sound elitist. It's just more efficient if everyone can spend time on what they're uniquely good at. The "grunt work" can be just as complex as the data science, just in a completely different way.
Which one would you pick if you had to?
I will just offer some unsolicited advice about PhDs, as it came up a few weeks ago also. And the author touches on this. Of course this mostly applies to empirical sciences, but maybe some theoretical ones too.

An effective PhD advisor/thesis isn't wandering the woods to find something. It's a guided coaching exercise, with an outcome in mind. Test whether the PhD advisor you select knows this and has a history of taking this approach with former students.

An advisor (and the PhD research he/she guides you on) should be targeting a very conscious choice of incremental versus breakthrough research results. And for most students, you're not going to have a whole lot of mindblowingly field-changing results -- as much as you may think you're a rockstar. So it's just sensible or an insurance policy to make sure you've got solid steady work that you're progressing on.

Learn to enable your research to have visible incremental gains on a known path every day, rather than hoping for some breakthrough at the end. Amazing breakthroughs have high risk, and make it highly likely you'll have a crisis when it doesn't happen.

Concretely, even if you don't know what the answer is going to be at the end of your research, you must think about, or have an idea about, the format of what that amazing answer is going to be. Write the outline of your thesis and "ghost out" what the major charts will be. Write the intro sentences of each chapter -- what are they? (and I don't just mean the boring review of the field part, but your findings part)

You should know what major type of finding, plot, or table your research is going to output. What are the columns and rows of that table, or axes of that plot? How many data points are required? How many of them can already be guessed? Where is the surprise going to be? What is the conclusion going to be?

Draw out the answer you're aiming for, now. If you can't even articuate what the answer will look like, you may be in for a bad time, so work on fixing that. It will also push you and your advisor to be specific about what the output of your thesis will be -- and set you up for a much better PhD experience.
