I've switched to bamboo qtips for electronics, they can take a good amount of force (although not as much as plastic ones)
> but why should I change what I'm doing if it's working?

Examples:

1.Teddy Roosevelt used Cigars to help his asthma, as a child, at a doctor's recommendation. (Examples exist for many drugs gone awry)

2. Alcohol based mouthwash was working at killing bad breath (temporarily), but leading to worse breath and more gingivitis in the long run.

3. Enemas and Douching.

Directly:

You experience discomfort immediately upon stopping cleaning (likely much like immediately after shaving), your time, your resources, waste.

Anecdotal. I don't use qtips, have never had a doctor say I have any bad ear wax buildup. I do have occasional outer ear infections.
Yeah, exactly. If you wanted to know that your code was bug free, how could you do it? Set a team of experts to each independently scour for bugs. But when do you stop? The quick answer is that you should keep going until every bug you've found, has been found at least twice. I think of this as being that you "just barely" found a bug if only one person identified it, so there are probably still bugs you have "just barely" not found remaining.
I think about this all the time.

I love Miles Davis' music. Love it.

And by multiple accounts, Miles was probably a bad person.

Can I love his music while not loving the man? How do I reconcile that?

I still don't know.

Wow tough crowd. I appreciate the pragmatic approach taken here, and as long as there is type safety round nulls im happy to use the language.

Nitpick: As of C# 8 they’ve mostly solved nullable types for classes too with nullable reference types (though retrofitting it made it awkward and imperfect).
Thanks for the tip. I'd get one if I didn't already have too many iCE40s.

> Has anyone ever heard of anyone, in their childhood or adult life, who suffered problems from using cotton swabs to clean their ears? Punctured eardrum out of clumsiness is not a qualifying case.

> This warning always struck me as exaggerated caution, like telling kids to never ever touch a pair of scissors, just to avoid the possible risk of them running with scissors, which has a possible risk of them tripping onto scissors.

That's definitely a qualifying case.

It's quite valid to want to avoid rare but extreme outcomes. For instance: maybe most kids can run with scissors with only minor issues, but then there's that one kids who gives themselves a horrible injury one day in kindergarten that's traumatic to everyone (e.g. ends up stabbing themselves in the eye, possibly resulting in blindness or even brain damage).
This isn't a new rule. This has been the standard for a long time.
This is one of those times where standard medical advice seems to be out of sync with common sense, like with masks.

Maybe the advice is a white lie—e.g. to protect PPE supply in the case of masks—or maybe it has a certain delicious counter-intuitiveness that makes the speaker feel wise, which means it gets repeated more frequently over time, thus crowding out competing ideas. Or maybe it's an attitude on the part of doctors of "common people can't be trusted to do it correctly," so they default to the standard advice of "don't."
AFAIK the classpath exception is intended to make the ecosystem work in a similar way to how GPL system libraries interface with non-GPL C code. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Snowden documents clearly show the US corporations cooperate with NSA by providing backdoors. We don't know for sure if they do this because they are being forced to, bribed, or just nice to the government agencies, but the end effect is the same: they do whatever the US agencies tell them to.
I found an XSS on FireEye's website when I was a pentester. Good times.. It took all night, too. Was worried it'd be the first gig I wasn't able to get a medium severity on.

I'm not sure anything can protect against a targeted attack from a nation-state. It's tempting to think that you can. But the warfare is asymmetric; they have all the time in the world to become certain that they can breach your outer defenses. One slip up, one old server version, is all it takes. I've seen it.

In this case, it's a security company, so I'm sure the irony seems a bit thick. But it's helpful to recall that security companies are companies. And no one is immune to security threats.
Indeed. It could also enter your brain from there.

Yeah, warm water for sure. Had this done at an urgent care once. The nurse used cold tap water and I’m pretty sure I drove home drunk afterwards.
Thanks for signing up! We're definitely going to be making a video for the landing page.

We have a slightly different take on things we think (even though there's a certain amount of table stakes features you need to build to get people to use it at all, we've found).

First off, unlike most of our competitors, we don't push people to break down initiatives into little bit sized tasks, giving each one an assignee. Instead we take a more collaborative attitude. We think work items should be the "right size" [0] which is much bigger than a single task - instead it's some value delivered end to end to your users. As a result, our work items are rich documents and they'll only get richer and more collaborative. We see that our users write a lot, hash out things together, upload designs, etc. And they're only getting more rich and more collaborative.

Secondly, we have a lot of exciting things coming with our integrations. Our focus is really on cutting down the noise coming from a lot of the tools teams use and to link assets/activities in those tools directly to work items in Kitemaker, so you can get the info you need when you need it. Our users like to complain about tools like Figma being awful for discussions and tools like GitHub producing too many noisy emails. We want to fix that. The Slack, Discord, GitHub and Slack integrations are already pretty powerful.

Thirdly, it's fast. Super super fast with hot keys for everything. We're really inspired by Superhuman and our goal is to match their 100ms response times.

Lastly is who we're making it for. We want to enable product teams to succeed. Not in the generic sense of the term, but more in the Marty Cagan [1] sense. Teams that are autonomous, self-organizing, cross functional and totally focused on delivering value for their users. Teams that run top down, with managers doling out tasks to engineers and product managers deciding exactly what will be built in isolation probably won't find a home in Kitemaker.

We'd love to chat with any teams struggling to find the tool that works best for them. My email is in my profile.

But at least it’s small? I mean, one dead laptop is the equivalent of many lifetimes worth of AirPods in terms of waste.

Of all the things that could be disposable this seems like the least concerning. A Tesla contains orders of magnitudes more plastic, electronics, and batteries that will one day be junk and you will go through maybe 3 sets of AirPods before you trade in for a newer model EV?

Q-Tip brand q-tips are made of paper. As far as I'm concerned, they're the superior product all around, all the alternatives I've seen have inferior fluffiness. I'm not usually one for brand loyalty, but in this instance I haven't been able to find any generic version that's satisfactory.
What pains me the most is that (in my country) you can go to police-profiled school at 15 years old.

I've worked with quite a few REST APIs where you can send a GET request along the lines of "GET /users, include: videos".
I agree with this.

And in this context; in my 30s and I don't always know where my phone is; My parents, don't always have their phones accessible or know where they are without looking. Also, it's less tactile in the dark.

You can also do that in basically any vanilla user agent (for chrome, click the lock in the URL bar -> site settings -> disable javascript -> refresh page).

It's completely the opposite at my local ENT. There are many signs saying to NOT use Q-Tips. In the exam rooms, at the reception, in the waiting area, down the hall, etc. It's funny but it does align with being overly cautious. I wonder if they've had too many cases of people puncturing their eardrums.

I'm definitely a HyperRogue fan.

The biggest issue with adapting it to multiplayer (tabletop) games would be splitting the party. If the party splits, finding a path back together (without just backtracking) can become effectively impossible. Visualizing the spatial relationship between widely spaced points in hyperbolic space is also really hard.

I'm no expert, but I've been reading Brett Deveraux's blog recently, and he argues that armies built from a civilian society frequently outperform expectations through history.

The other thing he argues that people overestimate is the effectiveness of hugely powerful weapons and technology. They generally don't degrade civilian morale enough to get them to surrender, and well prepared defensive positions are incredibly hard to render defenseless, even with modern weapons and seriously destructive bombing.

I don't think that it's necessary at the moment, but these decisions are a risk/reward thing, and I think the Swiss are prepared enough to make the pain of invading Switzerland outweigh the relatively small gain.
I've always thought that resting quarters shouldn't be used for anything else other than resting, so that our mind can go into "rest mode" when we are in resting quarters.

I won't pretend that EVERYONE "works" this way, but picking a resting position (lying down) to work sounds like a long term problem.

It sounds like CentOS Stream will be more cutting-edge (less stable) than RHEL, but less cutting-edge than Fedora.

So what's the problem here exactly? It's definitely stupid branding, but Fedora is very stable and CentOS is often so antiquated that only an enterprise looking for strict RHEL compatibility would have a good reason to choose it. This seems good for CentOS and OSS users.
Surely it will be possible to replace them in repair shops? Not for the home gamer obviously, but neither are screen repairs - and I’m really happy with my third party screen repair.

My AirPods also lack battery capacity now, to a degree that it’s annoyingly short. I accidentally came over a second pair, but yeah a new pair of earphones every two to three years sounds expensive to me.

Problem is, they work so spectacularly well otherwise that I don’t know how that I could stand anything else. Part of this is that Apple seem to intentionally make other headsets work less well. For example by not routing calls through the headset by default, such a joke.

I've been debating on getting my team of engineers a book as a gift, with Code Complete or Pragmatic Programmer as high on the list. Trouble is, as others noted, they're best when you're starting out and less helpful later in your career.

Does anyone have any books they recommend for senior engineers (approx 10 years experience)?

Perhaps it's harder to recommend one book because by that time generalized knowledge should already have been absorbed.
I started my history with computers on the PDP 11/40 at my Dad's university.

Years later when my company was writing Unix software and we were porting to all the major vendors, DEC loaned us an Alpha workstation so we could port to OSF/1. That machine was blindingly fast, way way better than any of the Sun, HP, IBM, etc. hardware we had in the office. It quickly became my desktop because it came with a gorgeous monitor. I strung out the loan as long as I could and was sad when it had to leave.

James Gosling spoke at our developer conference around that time, and talked about the Alpha design team (who got to create this fast RISC processor without worrying about the "embarrassingly large" backward compatibility footprint the modern x86 chips were saddled with), and how great the Alpha was as a platform for Java. DEC and Sun were my two favorite tech companies; I'm glad I got to use their products when they were at their height.
After twelve years of being in a high risk group with no trouble at all, I just don't take this supposed risk seriously. If I was ever going to get an ear infection, I think it would have happened by now. My 'single datapoint' is more like 30 years of data.

> You experience discomfort immediately upon stopping cleaning

In the case of qtips, I experience a sensation of satisfaction immediately after stopping. The discomfort, several days later, comes from the ear wax, and is immediately relieved with another qtip. There is no trend of it getting worse. My frequency of use has not changed in 30 years. It is comparable to cleaning my teeth, my mouth feels gross when I don't, so I do.
Containing spread of Covid-19 conspiracy theories in a forensic psych hospital
That simply is not true. Chromebooks, many Android phones (all of the ones sold by Google) have a way of turning off the requirement for signed boot. The device is less secure if you disable signed boot; an evil maid who gains access to your device, or the FBI after they seize your device, will have a much easier time getting access to your data --- but if you want to build your own version of Chromium, or put your own Linux distro on a chromebook, or if you want to build your own version of Android from source, and put it on a Nexus or Pixel phone, you can do this easily.

(Well, the hard part is learning how to download all of the source code and learning how to use the Android build system, and then downloading a new system image onto the Android device; there is no technical restriction which prevents you from doing this.)

I developed the ext4 encryption specifically for Chrome and Android, and I was building my own Android images and putting it on putting it on a Nexus 9 device. This didn't require any kind of special privilege or encryption keys only available to Google employees. Neither did this:

It's all open source, and you can certainly rebuild your kernel, make other changes to the firmware, and install it on your phone. No reverse engineering or hardware/firmware exploits necessary!
Signal allows you to explicitly open the app, get your current location, and send that snapshot of your location to someone immediately. That's definitely fine for some use cases.

Zood Location lets you share your location with other people without having to do anything on your part (besides accepting the initial friendship). Then your friend can simply open Zood Location on their phone and they'll be able to see where you are and you won't have to do anything. It's very useful for families trying to coordinate dinner plans after work, determining how soon your partner might be back home to help with the kids and other seemingly trivial things that usually require multiple disruptive calls and text messages.
> The thresholds are by geographic area, not counties.

Which is why I highlighted the situation was quite bad in my county, yet the bay area as a whole hasn't triggered the state mandates. It should be both county and region based.
On the first hand, I really appreciate the 30 - 40 hours of battery runtime my Pixel 5 has now. Restricting background apps is a big part of this.
It's kind of unfortunate because existing developers have the privilege of experience with the systems and where they're going that external contributors simply don't have, and it will take a non-trivial amount time for interested parties to develop that knowledge.

At the same time, it is an active project with active development that are informed by goals and processes not all of which are open. And really, while the development has been "in the open", it hasn't engaged the public until now. To that end, it's not possible to engage in a "bazaar" approach off the bat, whether or not that's a goal of the project.

Having been active in Go development and seeing some of the issues there, I understand what you mean. I don't think we state anywhere "this is clearly a cathedral model of development", but I think we're pretty clear on it:

* We have a section of documentation on project governance https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance

* We have a section of documentation detailing different kinds of contributors, acknowledging that there are kinds of contributors with special powers, and also reserving the right to revoke contribution privileges in some cases: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/community/contrib...

To the extent that you can look at these as a set of policies, follow all the policies, submit a change, and have that change rejected, I think that is unfortunate. I think this is much less likely if you first engage with the stakeholders, and having opened up mailing lists, we've made it simpler to do that.

However, the "bazaar" is also a bit of a myth in this regard. I'm not really aware of any open source projects where I can go submit a PR without talking to anybody and have the expectation that it'll be merged without discussion. I can fork the repo, but that's also already the case with Fuchsia.

> the fact they are only now taking potential contributions

We were honest about this too, and our documentation used to explicitly say that we did not accept external contributions.
