The one thing I like the most about the ST (when compared to, say, the Amiga) is its simplicity. It's vastly less capable, of course, but, in the end, the simplicity pays back by allowing easier expansion. The Amiga was a hard machine to evolve, something that cost Commodore a lot.

Spring boot specifically; regular Spring is relatively ok. I'm using it professionally at the moment. It's just impossible to find where anything is coming from or understand how your application is wired up, because everything magically appears based on what's on the classpath - it's like the COME FROM statement joke. Even just changing your dependency versions can suddenly radically change your application's behaviour (e.g. now it's suddenly running a webserver).
I work for a European company and many of my coworkers are remote from around the world. They were surprised by this too.

My city also has regular brown outs, power outages, etc. that have greatly inconvenienced my remote work (I have done a lot of work recently over a mobile hotspot). And it's not a HUGE city, but it is sizable (600k metro, ~800,000 in the metro + surrounding areas).

But for how this can be the case: It's as another commenter says. The provider is a duopoly in my area so I have no choice. Even worse the provider doesn't have many employees who do this work, they mostly hire 3rd party consultants to do repairs/installations of infrastructure.

Ran into a problem in my studio (audio recording) earlier this month because of a powered USB hub with charging ports. I kept getting this faint rhythmic ticking noise in my guitars.

I stripped down, and rewired everything in my studio to track it down. Not sure if it's the PSU, or something USB specific. But, as soon as I unplugged it from the surge protector, the noise vanished.
If you want to buy them new (which I generally don't), you can ask your local mechanic what day/time the truck stops by and the truck guy will be happy to sell you the tools if you know what you need. He's on a schedule, so he's not going to want to dick around with you for 20 minutes though and it's not going to be any cheaper than buying them from their website.

If you want to buy new easily or spend some time browsing around, use the web shop: https://shop.snapon.com/ When I need a specialty tool or service kit, I'll buy it from the webshop.

I buy most of mine from Ebay, from classified ads on garagejournal.com, and from craigslist. There are people who want 75+% of new price, but if you look around and have patience, you can find some sales in the 35-50% of new pricing, which I find acceptable.

In terms of alternatives, I would put Matco and Mac tools slightly below SnapOn. Note also that SnapOn has a Bluepoint brand as well that is not "real SnapOn quality" in my experience (but is also cheaper).

Edit to add: They also have (or had) a program for trade school educational discounts, so if you have a trade school nearby, you might see if a student is running a side hustle there. That will get you the newest tools but the discount isn't as deep as buying third-hand from someone who scoured flea markets, estate sales, and bankruptcy sales and then repackaged/remarketed the tools to you in a more convenient way.

Well, they had a free weekend once and in the very first mission I thought "let's see what's around this corner". There were no aliens, the landscape was pretty, but it meant I lost 2 turns and the mission. I promptly uninstalled it and bought it a couple years later when it was 90% off. Never bought any expansion.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the author's quantum country (https://quantum.country) and can definitely vouch for that essay's methods of improving cognition. 6 months later I can still recall quantum computation, which was a black box to me earlier.

However, I'm not sure I fully agree with with this essay, specifically the definition of what it means for a book to "work".

Is it necessary to be able to recall a book or a talk? I mean, it is good if you can, but is it a failure if you don't? Perhaps it isn't the fault of the medium. It may be the way our brains are structured. Maybe reading a book changes something subtly, not enough for recall, but a change nevertheless. Like training a neural net with one training example. I know that when I dig out a book that I have put aside several years ago, it seems much more approachable.

I think that reading a book increases your _capacity to receive_, and the more you read similar stuff (or the same thing over again), the more you are able to absorb. There comes a tipping point where you are able to see connections to other things you have read.

I approach books and articles like I approach music: I don't expect to recall much. If I want to recall it, I expect to revisit the material. Either way, the hours spent on it have not been fruitless.

> but surely everyone knows that people at the start of their career tend to be significantly underpaid). both the graduate and the employer just don't perceive their work to be as valuable.

If everyone knows this, then why isn’t there an employer taking advantage of this arbitrage opportunity to pay the new graduates more and use their “valuable” labor to generate valuable products for sale?

The answer is that no one knows the exact numerical value of the “value” of someone’s labor. Hence we rely on the buyers and sellers’ making offers to each other and coming to an agreement. As long as there are many buyers and many sellers, working independently, the market value should become evident.

Sometimes the buyer pays a little extra, sometimes the seller pays a little extra. It’s when there is no price transparency and insufficient number of buyers and sellers that the signal gets noisy.
I worked on Longhorn. There were two things I remember that led to the delay:

- Trying to make every component of the OS describable in a manifest, such that you could change/update/remove it on the fly. They seem to have gotten there finally in Windows 10.

- Trying to rewrite all the native code in C#. Some components got there (including mine), but rewriting all of these libraries and applications at once made the OS so slow that we got to a point where it was unusable and had to take a partial reset.

To be clear, you're saying that a public institution [1] who's charter is to provide access to artifacts that would otherwise normally be in the public domain and who's funding comes from donations and tax dollars should be expected to then copyright it's material when providing it digitally to the public?

Further, you're saying that artifacts plundered from colonialist rule should then be restricted to the people they've plundered from under restrictive licensing terms?

> But the risk is no higher for an Apple Watch than ... a wallet full of credit cards no? Especially if you use a credit card where you have charge back protections.

That's yet to be determined. If someone takes my credit card, the most that they can do is 3x £45 transactions (unauthenticated contactless limit).

If they are able to perform PIN authenticated transactions with my credit card, I'm going to be facing an uphill battle, as the onus is on the consumer to protect their PIN.

Equally, contactless transactions via Apple Watch or iPhone are supposed to be authenticated transactions via PIN / biometrics, which is likely to result in the same uphill battle.

EDIT: I've ignored the comparison to Rolexes, as the topic is about the risk of credit card fraud, not about the risk of theft of physical belongings. If we're talking about the risk of theft of physical belongings, then yes, the risk is lower for an Apple Watch than a Rolex, because a Rolex is (by market value) generally worth more, and in some cases can command more on the secondary market than new, unlike an Apple Watch (so far)

Thank you for the link to the drawings themselves. The curator's comments are fascinating. The opening paragraph, for a taste:

> This group of 103 drawings represents a major new discovery relating to Hokusai’s life and works. An amazing range of subjects is represented – figure (religious, mythological, historical, literary), animal, bird and flower and other natural phenomena, and landscape.

> As the subtitle ‘India, China’ signals, the group is dominated by subjects that relate to China, Southeast Asia, India and lands further west.

> Some of the same subjects can be found within Hokusai’s known oeuvre, but many are completely new discoveries.

> Among the latter is a fascinating group of images which imagine the origins of human culture in ancient China – early forms of habitation, fire, agriculture, making rice wine and paper, among other scenes.

> All are treated with the customary fantasy, invention and brush skill found in Hokusai’s late works that could not be matched by any of his pupils – with the possible exception of his artist-daughter Eijo (art-name Ōi, about 1800-after 1857).

Matrix.org server is definitely the main network today, but it’s very busy and has had some stability / performance challenges. I like the idea of a community driven network that is independent of the network vendor and focused on open source solely rather than all types of communities. Choice is a good thing although I admit competition is tough.
In terms of self hosting, I guess the same argument applies why don’t open source projects just set up their own IRC server. Whilst Matrix (Synapse) is easy to set up, there is still a barrier of entry. Fossnode aims to be a curated network of the best open source communities that love Matrix in one place.
Microsoft Announcements at CppCon 2020
Am I the only one who finds it a little bit ironic to call IntelliJ bloated, and then recommend VS Code, which may not be that "bloated" feature-wise, but is based on a browser engine, so also not really light on resources? A VS Code-like product using the Sublime Text engine would be the ideal development tool for me. As long as that's not available, I'm using PHPStorm at work (my company is paying for it) and VS Code for my private projects in Go - still haven't tried out Goland, IntelliJ's Go IDE, but so far I'm happy with VS Code.

This gets into murky territory and I'm not sure claiming their pictures are in the public domain would hold up in court. This is common practice for museums so I suspect there's precedent in their copyright claims.

I would imagine that they would argue that providing digital artifacts in the form of high resolution images or other media (3d scans, say) constitutes enough of an alteration from the original work so as to fall under copyright.

If anyone has any more information on precedent, court cases or the like, I would like to see it.
We Indian's love coconuts
No it is worse than that, it is Openreach. BT spun them off, and they are not the same company anymore - this was to avoid being told they had a monopoly on the lines. But in truth, BT get a lot more priority with Openreach than any other provider, but the quality of the service Openreach provides is inadequate at best anyway.

Relevant story - we moved in to a new build and waited 3 months to get ADSL. Not anything fancy, just plain old ADSL. The provider we went with was Talk Talk, and they basically had to go to Openreach and ask them to sort out the issue (turned out to be something to do with over capacity at the exchange.) This dragged on for months. I spent hours on the phone talking to someone in India, who then talked to someone in the UK who then got on to Openreach. It was a wholly terrible experience. I finally lost my proverbial s??t and complained directly to Openreach (and believe it or not actually got a response with the real reason for the delay - some infrastructure through which caballing went through had collapsed and they needed to schedule it to be fixed, but as it was under a dual carriage way, that was taking some time. Still possibly a lie, but better than the nonsense I was getting from the guy in India.) So as they had been lying to me constantly, I gave up and cancelled the contract, and we went with BT instead because we could then use the FON wireless of our neighbours in the interim. Well, one week later the ADSL came on. This was at least 2 weeks before it was scheduled by Openreach and BT, who were aware of the issue. So all we can assume is someone magically fixed it. To this day I don't know if BT and Openreach had some special relationship or if we were just lucky and BT juggled something in the exchange, but - yeah, 4 years later we have cruddy ADSL still, and no Fibre or Cable.

Every company should do this but none I've worked at do. To be honest, I just take the makeup time myself.
Just FYI, I really enjoyed your story but I almost closed the tab and didn't read it due to "Read on to find out" in the first paragraph. It sets off all the clickbait alarms in my head, which make me expect to find a bunch of low-quality content. The rj45 cable melting is just as good of a hook (and is actually why I continued reading). I'd suggest sticking the first sentence onto the front of the second paragraph and removing the rest of the first paragraph.
> I've been toying with the idea of putting one in a dedicated VLAN with the WAN port of my router, with another ethernet cable connecting to the LAN port.

That's what I'd like to do, but I haven't bothered to get a bi-directional SFP for my switch. Soon...

> I might also get away with using only one ethernet port ...

I would definitely avoid that at all costs! Exposing your internal network to your ISP's network is a really bad idea. With a managed switch, you'll want to disable as much of the "link-local" and other layer 2 "noise" as you can (e.g., CDP, LLDP, STP, etc.).

You may need to enable 802.1Q on your upstream-facing switchport anyways (and configure VLAN IDs, of course), but this would depend on your ISP's configuration. Either way, I'd still use a separate physical cable (between the router and switch) just for the "LAN side" -- if you weigh the pros and cons, it's a no-brainer!
Utility markets are anything but free. They're locally sanctioned monopolies or duopolies.

I am shocked and dismayed that people are emailing you because your blog is too fun and diverse.

It reminds me of my wish for anyone who is even semipopular on the internet, whether it be through a blog, Youtube channel, etc. I wish for them to ignore the comments. Log into your email, select all, and delete. That might be healthier, not just for you but for the world, because you would not be dragged down by their negativity.

I wish that you and others could remember that it takes a certain kind of person even to begin writing an email to a stranger with a blog. They are likely neurotic, https://web.archive.org/web/20170430010047/https://www.truth...

I am surprised by what people say in the comments sections of various websites. But I am equally surprised when I see the author take them seriously and give them the dignity of a reply. Or a Youtuber who seems like a healhty happy intelligent person with interesting content start to talk about some of the crazy things people have been saying in the comments. "Why are you even listening to those people?" I think. But I try to remember that I myself would probably be tempted to wonder if they're right or to start replying --- and get ensnared.

This is a feature that works out of the box on OSX. Both /var/www and ~/public are places to put documents. The button to enable appache is in the settings dialog under "sharing" I think.

Congratulations. I have a US keyboard and often find myself having to type accents when writing in non-English languages. I've found that the easiest way to do this is to use the Compose key feature built into KDE, and to use Wincompose on Windows.

macOS however already has built in Option + key chords for most accented characters, so I rarely need to use a Compose key there.

That said, I imagine having a Compose key on macOS would be useful for typing custom characters, emojis and Unicode.
