Technically a day is not a hard constraint in the short term. Maybe if you do one 36h shift, however unlikely, produces fewer errors than a 12h shift with 2 hand-offs. Long term we know about adverse health effects of inconsistent sleeping patterns, so those would factor in as well.
That's not always possible. If you install a package from the system repository that depends on a bunch of python packages, the dependency manager will only be satisfied if they're installed via the repository, since it can't see your pip packages.

So you might need the latest python-opencv from pypi for work, and some desktop camera app needs the one from apt to not have broken dependencies.
FB and Twitter no doubt brainwash people into all kinds of silliness - we've seen that quite vividly in the past 3 months. But there's not a whole lot you can do about them legally under US law. There is a whole lot you can do with TikTok and other foreign companies that represent a national security threat.
I was being cheeky, however, since it's in the ToU then potentially we can and should be censured for such things on this site. Thailand believes such laws are applicable to everyone around the world so my place of residence doesn't really seem to matter regarding "applicable".

Just another way that the internet and reality don't get along I suppose.

> Same could be said for software developers.

I am licensed attorney and a full-time software developer and I agree 100% - there are remarkable similarities.

(And there are strong parallels between big tech and biglaw, especially for junior devs/associates, but that's a bit of a tangent)
> However, significantly growing revenue from paid products and services is very possible.

Of course it is possible, but that's called 'Accenture', not 'Mozilla'. Really, this all goes directly back to what I wrote above: Mozilla has an entirely different view of what company it wants to be from what the general public thinks it should be based on previous statements and there is no amount of creative redefinition that will solve that.

If Mozilla wants to be an ordinary software house then that's fine by me but then stop using funds pulled in through FireFox to support the rest of the org and allow FireFox to be completely independent of the foundation.

It is beyond ridiculous that an important resource like FireFox should be milked in order to start a software house that does not seem to be all that dedicated to keeping FF around for the long run.

If FF dies then Mozilla has failed, and the income from the search box alone should be enough to ensure FireFox's continued existence for a long time into the future.

That won't happen if Mozilla keeps raiding the piggy bank to cover for their mistakes, those 'millions of dollars from their profitable projects' are a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to the costs of the whole org. I'll bet you not a single sou of that effectively makes its way to FireFox due to the top heavy org structure.

Apple doesn’t care at all about the most common types of spyware. Nearly every app in the iOS App Store contains tons of spyware.

Apple’s view is that you consented to this sort of unaccountable invisible tracking by dozens of third parties (against whom you have zero recourse), when you agreed to the TOS of the App Store.

The data is aggregated, sold, and resold again.

None of that is really necessary. You can just explain that the masks have small holes in them that are big enough to allow oxygen in and co2 out but small enough to catch most of the covid droplets. Even a child can understand the basic concept. The problem with cloth masks is that the holes are too big for them to be very effective.

On technical side: I wonder what APIs this service (and others like Zapier) use. Original Instagram API is all but closed to devs, and the new Facebook APIs are limited and reduced to "business accounts". Any good APIs I've seen are libs that reverse-engineer Instagram's internal APIs and use those.

FLOSS sadly does not solve my problem fully. I'm happy to pay for somebody to maintain the infrastructure and keep the service I'm using up to date on security issues.

However if the maintainer happen to stop maintaining the service, I could setup the infrastructure and maintain it by myself with some learning, but that would take up more time I need to earn the money I'm paying to somebody else, who already done the groundwork and has the knowledge about the service. Also the service is worth $5-10 per month, but does not have enough value to worth the hassle of setting up the whole self hosted infra behind it and maintain it by myself.

I'm not sure why, but people recommending FLOSS as a solution tends to forget about the additional cost to setup and maintain infrastructure and software and a simple build pipeline (even if it's just a bash script, rsyncing the code to a server) when mentioning you could self-host it if they shutdown the service.

This is the "slightly annoying not to have this service, but not annoying enough to bother to replicate it even if I could" situation for me.

Yeah, trouble is it always depends on the system for me. At home, pipenv seems to work most reliably, at work I had more success with poetry...

Still, both poetry and pipenv work better for me than conda because they do have a lockfile mechanism which I find to be essential.

Overlapping shifts could just be seen as a better hand-off. However I think the hand-off issues are probably the same that you have in any project. There's a lot of implicit knowledge. E.g. you've noticed patient X was breathing heavily, but you weren't sure if it meant something, if you see that again 10h later you might investigate, while for the other doctor if he started after 8h he might notice it for the first time, and have a similar wait and see approach.

In this case one procedural way to make this better would be to teach doctors to write up anything unusual they notice during the day, and read this list of unusual events during hand-off to the next doctor.
Yes, you are able.

But when one of two players are not playing fair (China) you're not going win any medals (or fights) while holding by your usual ethical standards.

And as much as I'm mostly completely opposed to the current US administration, Tiktok is a liability.

There are a number of challenge-response authentication systems, e.g. in my first job after university we used cryptocards: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8252

And my bank used to supply a similar (but smaller) authentication keypad - they now use a smartphone app instead.

The “know” vs “have” question in multifactor auth traditionally assumes the thing you know is memorized (which you can’t expect people to do with TOTP secrets) and the thing you have is a physical device that authenticates itself with an embedded secret. There’s an intermediate category of secrets you have access to (e.g. in a password manager) but which can’t protect themselves against copying by the authorised user like a physical token.

TOTP and HOTP were designed to be implemented in physical tokens (similar to SecureID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_SecurID tho that uses a different algorithm) but they are often supported by password managers or apps that allow the OTP secrets to be copied.
The original author has a habit of abandoning software projects after a while. But I think they managed to get it into the pypa docs (python packaging 'authority'), and so I guess someone has brought it back.
I would love for tiktok (and all similar social media) to disappear and I agree that China is a threat to the rest of the world (although the US is too :-) ) but tiktok do have a point that this has been done by the trump admin like they do things in a banana republic: I don't like things therefore I, the king.. uh president, decide that this has to go.

You might like it here as its a company you don't like but what if the same is done next for Twitter, Telegram, or maybe just foreign companies like e.g. Siemens, Tata, ...

Trump is hollowing out the rule of law and pretends he can do whatever he feels like. It's a mistake to cheer for that even if you agree with some of those decisions.

All I'm reminded of is this famous quote of a German priest ultimately executed by the Nazis:

> First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a socialist.

> Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a trade unionist.

> Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-Because I was not a Jew.

> Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I do mind. Downvoted for being offtopic.
Regardless of what you think about TikTok, the banning of an app in the interest of "national security" is largely unprecedented.

The jump from banning Huawei from building critical public infrastructure to banning an app that hasn't even conclusively been proven to behave in any uniquely dangerous ways seems to be an intense, unjustified escalation of this conflict. [1]

You may disagree with me on the strict security-related merits of banning TikTok, and I am willing to concede all of them, however this will, either way, establish a precedent of an app's coverage by 1st amendment free speech protections, and of what standards the government needs to do to ban an app, whether it be a Chinese social media app or an end-to-end encrypted messaging app. [2]

If the standard is simply to claim that it's "a national security threat" without requiring any further evidence (besides the fact that it's Chinese) then that might be cause for concern.

That sucks very much, I agree but at least they won't send police to your home if you write critically about it. Your post here is evidence for that the CCP is way, way worse since your post would be pretty much dangerous to write in China if it were about their government.

If you really believe the US is as bad as China, you're living in a fantasy world my friend.
There you go. While they're at it, try critiquing the CCP on TikTok. Watch it get removed instantaneously.

In the US, at least you can sue the administration and criticize them over their actions. The CCP on the other hand...

That is the point, make a new law. I mean FB way where I can target with ads extremely precise groups make it possible to systematically slit a nation in all the political regions, split the population in relevant groups, and preciously target them non stop with fake or misleading stuff.

This could be fixed in many , many ways - like not allowing political ads, or not allowing targeted political ads, or labeling clearly what is paid political propaganda or the exteme solution , limited electoral budget (why should the guy with more money is more equal then the rest?? it is are torical question I know constitution in US allows this )

Brings two things in mind:

- polymathy, don't specialize too much, it's good to walk in other fields

- listen, being able to discuss, see the situation from all parties POV, exchange well

It's indeed rare to find this, also, I tried being less stuck up and listen but you quickly get stomped on by less knowledgeable but more dominant minds, it's tiresome.
Twitter and Facebook are US companies, while ByteDance (the company behind TikTok) is not. This makes them pretty different legislation-wise. Not saying that the brainwashing part doesn't apply to all three.
"you're not going win any medals (or fights) while holding by your usual ethical standards."

That's the thing! These are not ethical standards. These are about the general rules by which a society operates. Generally countries with inclusive systems work better than countries with exclusive ones. China being the odd man out, apparently, at the moment.

So it's not about ethics, it's about economics. It may seem like a value call, but actually it's a decision along a path does the society want to be more or less like an exclusive system. Since exclusive systems don't work as well financially, it's effectively a call does the system want to be wealthier or poorer long term.

I own a small e-commerce brand for men’s skincare. Getting the store up and running from a design, legal, inventory, and finance perspective is pretty straightforward.

Depending on your market, there are different “critical thresholds” to pass in order to make it worthwhile.

Yup, kudos to MS for coming up with it and standardizing it.

(the following is just what I think, I have no hard knowledge on the matter)

Language server still limits what an IDE can do. E.g., IDEA can do complex large scale refactoring and analysis over a codebase. If you're brave enough, you can write your own language analyzer that converts your language into structures IDEA understands, and you can get (some) of the same benefits. But it's a lot of work.

IIRC, language server can only provide rather superficial type information and autocompletion (which is still way more than many languages had before).

Walking Skeleton - A software development methodology?
one feature i dont understand about neuralink is the promised transmission of thoughts.

lets say i have a device that can encode activity of every neuron in my brain simultaneously. i think some variation of the thought "elephant," and the neuralink creates some digital representation of these signals.

then i send that digital encoding to your brain's neuralink.

how on earth are you going to think of ANY elephant, let alone my elephant? the structural nature of our brains is certainly different, the network of activated neurons aren't isomorphic, certainly not identical, right?

i am by no means an expert, but i dont see how you can ever take a digital signal and turn it into a conscious meat thought.

motor signals seem somewhat more tractable

Those are definitely some fair points.

While I appreciate you being a paying customer, unfortunately you're in minority. When Facebook changed their API earlier this year and forced me to rewrite a part of the codebase I seriously considered just closing down the site. The service generates $140 in monthly revenue which is nothing compared to my other products. So my time is best spent elsewhere.

So when the buyer approached it wasn't just a way for me to cash out on the business (and make more money than if I just kept it in maintenance mode), but also a way to increase the chance of Tweet Photo sticking around long-term.

The new owner has both the resources and incentive to keep Tweet Photo running. As they are financially invested, plus they have a large userbase they plan on cross-promoting it to. Which means Tweet Photo will start generating more revenue, becomes more valuable, and in the end will have more reasons to be maintained and developed.

With regards to the EULA: Tweet Photo is a bit of an outlier in that it has to adhere to both Twitter's and Facebook's terms of service, so there's some protection in that. If the new owner were to violate those terms the whole service could be closed down.
Are good decisions worth investing?
Fair enough. But that was not my rationale, it was just a made-up corporate rationale that is not too far from what I can observe in reality. Take, for example, lobbyists in right-to-repair hearings. They use arguments like this: "If we let users repair their smartphones, they might hurt themselves, so it must not be allowed and instead always performed by a skilled technician". The implication always being, that if users hurt themselves, they will sue.

> Anyway I guess people can also buy their own computers if they want to play outside the sandbox.

My point was, precisely, that we might get to some point where this is no longer possible. Imagine they stopped selling what we today call "PC", and instead everything is closer to smartphones or tablets. There would be no way to setup a development environment on the machine. There's no sudo access, no compiler toolchain...

Yes, teaching that sort of thing is sorely needed in my area of research computing support specifically, and something I've wanted to do. Unfortunately the collaboration I'm involved with only seems concerned with regurgitating Software Carpentry etc., so users don't get taught about programming and maintenance. There's a lot of talk about "software sustainability" that's often at odds with what I've learnt over decades practising it, and dogma which would have killed the most successful long-term collaborative project I've been involved with.

I'm not sure it needs de nuovo examples, just general advice and techniques from long experience.
While this is largely true, it is pretty common for large amounts of money to be irreversibly lost in an untraceable manner. Wirecard comes to mind this week but a simple search for 'financial fraud' will bring up typical losses much larger this guys lost 14k BTC at least once a month.
