Anecdotal, but the only time I am sure my Amazon package will be delivered correctly and on time is with USPS.

Then is UPS, who are happy to stick a note on your door saying you were not home, even if the door is open and you are waving at them.

Then is FedEx, who never seem to make it on time.

And last/worst is Amazon, who lose or misdeliver about 20% of my packages.

React is the new PHP: a dangerously welcoming ecosystem for amateurs. If you look at the trace, you see it's firing a timer for LazyImage every 300 milliseconds that that's causing constant repaints. It's terrible, but no one believes in craftsmanship anymore. :-)

To be clear your article is mostly about clear cutting and I'm talking about thinning. One of the steps to those big profitable trees is thinning and selectively keeping the best tree(s) for later.

The interim products are lower value, but giving the industry a promise of the best logs allows them the finances to deal with the less valuable interims.

I dunno to me it sounds horrific that Machiavellism is accepted without a pause knowing how inefficient and detrimental it is for human cooperative endavours. History showed us that unchecked Machiavellism causes dynamics to devolve to paranoidic-zero-sum social dynamics.

Does "pension prefunding" mean that they have to allocate money up front for the (expected/forecasted) entirety of defined benefit pensions? Why not move to defined contribution plans?
Indeed, and one thing that's lacking is any kind of coaching or training. Those of us doing it can't necessarily coach the next generation, because stuff has gotten ahead of us.
If you're using a bare droplet or packaged container they offer, couldn't you just just set up an ansible script? Although, I might be over simplifying your uses.

No, and they never did.

There have been lots of good suggestions here, but I haven't seen any discussion of using an IDE platform.

For example, [NetBeans platform](https://netbeans.org/features/platform/) provides a very high quality platform to build Swing-based applications on top of. [Eclipse](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.platform) offers something similar. Both of those use Java.

If you would prefer something more "lispy", you can do just about anything on top of [Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) (with the possible exception of making it pretty.)

Depending on your application and familiarity with the IDE, using the base under one of these (or other) IDEs could save you tons of time.

The linked page doesn't actually say that Linux is no longer supported. You need to go to the Previewer Product page https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000765... then scroll down to the System Requirements, where it says "Windows 8.1 or later, Intel Mac OSX 10.13 or later".
"immense damage he was doing"

What damage is he doing? As a Scot and someone who is rather fond of Scots (which I grew up speaking) I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised that anyone is sufficiently interested to have a go at creating Wikipedia entries!
Oh dang. I used this to publish my first (and only) eBook as the final chain in my Sphinx based workflow. It was fun to publish a book on Amazon. I'm not sure I would have tried it if the Linux tooling hadn't been there.
What corporation acts solely in the best interest of the consumer? Epic isn't, certainly, with games that are profitable off addictive microtransacations to children. Additionally, they make the argument that they can reduce the processing fee by ~20% but offered consumers a cost reduction of somewhere like ~11%. They're acting in their own best interest.
I'm not sure if we are there already. The Biden speech at the convention was very good, but the video was immediately claimed to be suspicious. The image had unusual softness around his mouth, compared to rest of the image. The speech was pre-recorded. So post processing could be responsible. But also deepfakes at this point are possible too. So who knows.

Sigil only supports creating ePub files, which Kindles can't natively read.

The Amazon tool that was removed, "kindlegen", was the officially supported way of converting ePub into the Kindle's native AZW format.
Interestingly, many fonts look very strange when zoomed in because they employ all kinds of tricks to exploit optical illusions to give their fonts particular expression, such as curves and pinches that are almost imperceptible when viewed at a normal size. Unfortunately at the moment I can't find an article which clearly demonstrates what I'm talking about.
This is my recollection, too. Firefox was first, with pdf.js

Remember when AT&T (“Ma Bell”) was broken up (“Divestiture”) into a bunch of independent companies (regional bells, RBOCs, “Baby Bells”) as Bell Labs spun off into a set of companies? Yeah, the AT&T you see today is actually the largest of those RBOCs (PacBell) that went around and reacquired all of the other RBOCS and changed its name to AT&T (leaving the original AT&T using the name for its continuing backhaul/wholesale operation). Could Apple be forced to divest the App Store and also license other qualified app stores that come along to compete with it? —and that’s just what the courts can do to them. Those koolaide brewers also have drawn the wrath of Congress and angered the Executive Branch by not being so willing to drop a half trillion to setup shop in the desert midwest instead of southeast Asia.
I think you have mostly the same problems in Terraform, Pulumi, or Cloudformation though right? Is there anything that makes it easier to accidentally do in k8s?

One layer of defense in all of these cases is keeping the IAM credentials that the configuration management tool uses from having any deletion permissions.
Not really sure about WebUSB but WebMIDI is pretty harmless, surely?

The browser probably won't be good enough to replace Ableton (or similar) for a while but it is the primary medium for a lot of digital (interactive) artwork - for projects that use sound it's nice to plug a MIDI device straight into the browser.
Well, yes, that's what it means to get close to eradicating a wild disease. There's a sort of hysteresis effect so it's hard to instantly swap to not vaccinating and you want to ensure that there are no local populations with wild transmission.
your comment is reasonable, using rekognition for recaptcha v3 wouldn't seem to make sense.

but the linked source code is pretty clearly interpreting scores and referencing recaptcha v3, so i'm not sure what images they're running rekognition on. (unless there's a bunch of stuff going on in this repo and this file is unrelated to the title)

Whatever does this have to do with codes of conduct? I mean, maybe software projects should have CoCs that say "do not do things likely to kill your tenants", but normally they're concerned with conduct within a project, and in any case "the CoC mob" seems to indicate you're somehow arguing against having and enforcing CoCs. Is there some background here that makes your comment make more sense than I'm currently able to get out of it?
I installed Tree Style Tabs by reading recommendations about it. It's true, this extension is great!
The majority of humans are indeed acting selfishly to maintain their own comfort level, yes. You can argue that they aren't, in which case I'd like to see the indication that either A) the majority of people are acting in the interest of others when they go about their daily business spreading the illness, or B) the majority of people are not preferring to maintain their comfort level.

It is proven for me as I can see both A and B are false.
I suspect that the main difference is that China is transparent about its surveillance programs, while the US ones are top secret.
While I agree with his perspective on classes, some departments are hostile to this.

When I was in grad school, I was required to take a ridiculous number of course credits to satisfy the requirements. Moreover, if you wanted to pass the qualifying exam, you had to know the material in some of those courses really well. The professors always complained that the requirements were too high and many of their students would lose 2-3 years just satisfying them. But ... professors are the ones who made those requirements to begin with!

Ah yes, "think of the children", that marvel of rhetorical tools. You deny others their freedom, but it's "for the greater good". That always ends up so well.

The "state of such things" on other platforms, as dangerous as it might look to your paternalistic worldview, is what enabled the PC revolution in the first place. Had Microsoft or IBM enacted policies as draconian and illiberal as Apple is doing now, we likely wouldn't be talking on a free tcp connection using free browsers, right now. It's not by denying people their freedom that you reach progress and stability, but by educating them to make better choices for themselves.

But sure, spin it round and round. You and Apple are doing your best to keep back progress, but it's not going to last.
Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.

Just because there’s an open App Store doesn’t mean apple has to give root to random organizations (I’m not even sure what confusion caused you to link the two ideas.)

That would happen if apple allowed other organizations to customize the OS which is a different discussion.
This is, in my opinion, the most dangerous thing about CRDs, especially for resources that are not scoped the the cluster.

It is way to easy to accidently delete something you need. PV's were my first experience dealing with this (a chart upgrade recreated a PVC, the old one unbound, and was immediately cleaned up), and it's not a risk that I want to see extended to buckets, RDS instances, etc.

The other side of this is that CRDs can lead to abandoned resources; if you find your cluster borked, or shut down improperly, any resources which existed as CRDs (or in cloud Kubernetes land, include LoadBalancers) probably did not get cleaned up, and will be abandoned (but left running).

It's not clear that there is actually a good solution here that fits neatly in with existing CRD behaviour.
Right now I have 376 tabs open in Firefox, on Windows laptop with 8 GB RAM. They were 600, but I did a purge a few months ago. 0

I'm not sure if Epic requires you to use their payment processor for IAPs, but even if they do it's not hypocritical in the slightest. The Epic Store isn't the only realistic way to sell a game/app/whatever on PC. That's the issue here - not that the store takes a cut, but that if you don't like the cut you have absolutely no way to try and go with an alternative.

If I don't like the cut Epic takes in their store I can go with Steam. Or gog.com. Or itch.io. Or sell things myself on my own website. If I don't like the cut Apple takes in their store on iOS I can go with... nothing.
I really liked Tree Style Tabs before the restrictions on extensions.

I do understand that they needed to discontinue them, because it was a roadblock for faster engine, but they felt less like a hack to provide that functionality.

Being a non-profit doesn’t give them a pass on making bad products. Being open source doesn’t give a free pass on bad products. If they choose a unsustainable business model, where making profit ruins their product, then they created this problem themselves.

I run Chromium, it probably spies on me, but it doesn’t do it in my face, and it doesn’t pretend otherwise.

When I run Firefox, they say they care, but they shamelessly bundle that crapware. Makes me wonder if another day after another Firefox update they’ll add Pocket 2.0 without me knowing.

It’s the same issue I have with Brave as well, I cannot stand the BAT integration.

FWIW, notwithstanding VAAPI support in Firefox, Linux has made massive improvements in power/heat efficiency in recent kernels.

Moreover, given that buyer and seller weren't able to match without Mr. E. HFT's help, hasn't he in fact rendered a valuable service (for which he should, of course, be paid)?
I don't think this is really analogous here. The App Store's monopoly on distribution != iOS app sandboxing, the later of which all apps distributed through non jailbroken means (including AltStore) abide by. The later is what protects iOS more than the former.
It's the same amount of ads. The hyper targeting Google does is incredibly profitable because of the scale they operate at. If you make the click through rate of an ad even 0.1% better over billions of searches it more than pays for the R&D of an engineering team.

Really the only way to compete against Google from a feature perspective is the privacy angle. You're sacrificing better click through rates to target a market that cares about privacy. Making something private requires a lot less engineering and product power than hyper optimizing tracking. By definition if you're not doing any tracking you don't need to employee people to set up tracking systems.
VB.Net was my first language in 2010. The syntax made it really easy to pick up and make small projects on Windows. The ease of use made it pretty fun to play around with and learn new things.

I think learning a more popular language (like python) would have been more helpful, but as a teaching tool, VB was great and helped me quickly jump into those other languages.
You can actually have a /usr/local/sbin directory too, you know.
Great example. I worry about adding a layer of abstraction over provisioning resources this way.

Of course we have to try this because it's a badass (tho obvious in hindsight) idea, but in practice it might have some downsides.
I have some issues with the mobile FF with typing (filling form elements on some sites). I still use it for browsing as having the addons gives a superior experience. I'd be happy if I could switch 100%, but I have not been able to figure what is causing this issue. Does anyone else have issues with Firefox entering the words "twice" when they try to type?

Here's hoping we double down on Polio efforts and ensure it is entirely eliminated. Finishing is super important, and this milestone shows this is something humanity can finish.
to claim he absolutely assisted, you actually just need to presume that he did something that helped. You can argue with those other points to try to argue about whether or to what extent it was a bad thing to do, but those arguments, even if valid, do not change the bare fact that he did in fact assist to some extent in Epstein's legal defense as a favour to his friend who was representing Epstein.

Though Pinker himself has said he regrets having provided that aid, so I don't think he himself fully agrees with you if you want to argue against it being something he should not have done.

> Remember readable means that you can read and understand it

Yes you are right, my usage of "readable" was probably wrong there.

Maybe the point I was trying to make was less about the individual constructs but more about how the lack of "common" features makes the whole program less "understandable", or maybe less easy to get familiar with, simply due to the amount of code needed to achieve a specific task.

The same way assembly is considered less "readable" than C. Not because assembly is less readable on a line by line basis, it's even simpler, but because of the number of lines and operations needed to achieve a simple task.

Basically it's easier to understand 10 lines than a 1000.
That's why I use high-quality firefox forks like Waterfox, which keeps the most popular Firefox features and security while removing things like phoning home or Pocket.
