You can have different opinions on what's sensible but to claim that something is not sensible as general you need to make a point about an issue due to the default settings.

For example, if people were getting hacked through remote desktop connection all the time you could have said that macOS has insensible defaults on the security or even existence of that feature.

However, with macOS that's not the case, in fact macOS has so sensible defaults that a lot of its users have no understanding of how it works and yet successfully use it for years with no issues and not gaining any understanding through the years.

The thing is so well designed that it's often dissed as a Starbucks machine, implying that it is used by people with a lot of money who don't know what they are doing while simultaneously is an extremely popular machine among creative professionals and engineers who also like coffee and know what they are doing.

Having options is nice, for example I dislike dark mode but I like the dark statusbar so I have a customisation for it. I dislike autosorting of the Spaces, so I disabled it. I prefer to simply tap and not have to press on the trackbar so I enabled it.

However I would't call the defaults not-sensible, it's just that I like some stuff differently from the defaults.
This is huge. An alternative to proof of work using extra hard drive space instead of CPU. And anyone with hard drive space can mine/farm! No special hardware needed. Seems possible that this will be a basis for other crypto projects too.
> Get raped/attacked in prison? Whoops, shouldn't have done the crime then.

It's more than this - tough-on-crime rhetoric is largely explicitly built around interracial (black on white) homosexual rape and abuse fantasies.
Agreed. And honestly as a trans woman I hate seeing this kind of thing. The only reason people are paying attention to this is that society has turned the idea of men (ie assigned male at birth) identifying or representing themselves as women into a joke. The amount of random strangers who laugh at me on a daily basis is absolutely disheartening, it's really an awful thing to have to deal with (same with being threatened, assaulted, denied service which I have no legal protection against, not being able to use public restrooms)...

If you're interested Netflix has a wonderful documentary called Disclosure [0] about the media's portrayal of trans people, women in particular. I highly recommend!

Thanks for this! I was going to mention Spectacle[0], but I'll see that it's no longer maintained. I'll have to check out Rectangle :)

EDIT: I see Rectangle is based on Spectacle!

Love it. UX is important.
I'm not going to assume anything about this person's gender, but I think it's worth mentioning that the Japanese government uses violence to erase transgender existence [1], so it may not be a safe place to be non-cisgender.

Nothing anymore. I started my new job on 3/1. My previous manager was terrible, miss the company, miss the work, don't miss the manager.
This seems like a very minor twist on fork/join, which only gets mentioned in a very snarky footnote. IMO it would be better to present it as such, instead of creating new terminology.
Yes, and imagine having that role played by elected members.
How do you tell that it's not a really long string or a web page but a script? Maybe it's just a pattern of dots projected on LCD or 1s and 0s stored on a computer. I don't see any more concrete proof that it's not any of these but a script.
I find it odd when people deny the extremely obvious signs that foreign allies are buying influence in DC. I'm sure that happens on both sides of the aisle.

Hunter Biden had zero relevant experience to be a member of the board to a Ukrainian oil company during a conflict with Russia that had huge oil assets at risk. It seems obvious to me that they paid him to have access to his father (then VP to Obama).

The same was true when the Clinton Foundation received tens of millions in donations during the ramp-up to the Syrian civil war while Clinton was the Sec of State. Clinton emails released confirmed weekly meetings with the Saudi Foreign Minister at the same time. It seems obvious that the State Dept & CIA participation in arming rebel groups was facilitated through the conversations had.

...and I don't mean to pick on Democrats. John McCain was part of that effort. I'm sure if we look closely, we'll find a "core establishment" group that holds members of both parties.

...and, arguably, both cases above were in the interests of the US.

It's complicated. A world power with big adversaries cannot operate transparently, so I would not expect the public to be told everything. On the other hand, it would be reassuring if there were private mechanisms whereby this "deep-state club" self-regulates to ensure that these covert actions at least benefit the US, and do not simply enrich those politicians taking cash. ...or maybe that does exist in some form and we just are not aware?

I live in New York and I get different pieces of information from the government via pretty much every channel -- direct e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, websites, billboards, ads in the subway, post office mailings, newspapers, etc.

Different government agencies and officials at different levels (city, state, national) use all sorts of different communication methods.

Governments have been heavily involved in media campaigns across all channels as long as there's been media.

Press releases are just one communications channel among many. Twitter is just the ~newest in a very long line.

When people say “influencer” they’re usually referring to the long-tail of people with 10k+++ followers who don’t really create anything other than a curated snapshot of their life. They’re usually on platforms like Instagram and Twitter where the bar to post content is very low. They make their money by posting sponsored content, because they have no other way of monetizing their audience (they have no skills except for building audiences).

The top 26 list of YouTubers is filled with influential people, and many people would say that they’re influencers, but they’re not typical examples.
Use Wayland. Fractional scaling works fine there. If you are using X11 and xrandr scaling, and see performance impact, maybe that's the reason why it is not supported in GUI.

On the other hand, I'm have no perfect eyesight, but in Linux, 1080p at 14" is as usable as Windows 10 at 125%. Here, the design choices made by Gnome are hitting its strong points, it is perfect resolution for @1X scale.
I love BitBar and currently have 6 separate tools in my menu bar to keep track of things like Kubernetes instances in various QA environments, local services running on my machine (with stats + start/stop buttons + recent logs), or jobs running on cloud platforms.

It's a fantastic tool and I'd encourage anyone who is thinking about building a tiny menubar app in just a few lines of code to look into it.

The camera is what scares them? For me it would be remote take-over. You are experiencing a car accident [1] But seriously, these companies get hacked [2]. Remote control hacks have been done on several cars that aren't even fully self-driving. [3] No idea if anyone has taken full control of a Tesla yet. Their remote entry has been hacked many times but that is a different system. If you could hack this [4] you just need to overcome the 4mph speed limit safety control.

There’s a time to learn and a time to earn.

Nothing wrong with either.

But don’t confuse learning with looking for a job.

Looking for a job is looking for a job, not hoping to be noticed by people you don’t know because of something they know nothing of.

Any divination strategy with a rich semantic palette will work like this (tarot is my personal favorite), and besides that it’s fun.

There was also a guy that derived a set of problem-solving principles based on a study of patents (TRIZ), where you try to apply innovation principles, such as “does it help if you can you make one thing do the work of two things?” And if you think abstractly enough it’s kind of the same oblique process, just starting from a more empirical basis. I wish more people tried it!

There's this minecraft youtuber I've been following for ages, who has been on youtube for like 10 years and still doesn't ask for likes or subscribes (ethoslab). Especially in that space the absence of it is remarkable, I haven't found anyone else who does this. Occasionally he does collabs and the collaborators will do it, and you can really see that it does work, it makes a big difference.
Also useful: do the same but for a Zoom meeting URL. For me, `zurl` expands to my personal Zoom meeting that I can give out in a flash. I use it a many times a day.
I also used to run Spectacle and was worried about it no longer working at some point (like after a macOS upgrade).

That also only shows you values that have been set. There can be values that are defaulted within the program itself that can be set, but do not have their default values written to any file, so do not show up in the `defaults` command except when set manually.

Unfortunately, the usual way of finding those is to `strings` the application binary, and weed through all the chaff. And that requires either a fishing expedition, or for you to already know what you are looking for (including what binary might be responsible for that).
It's not even clear to me that the tense of the message isn't distorted due to a language barrier.

It could just as easily be interpreted as a thank you for a promise to meet Biden at some point in the future. Something that it seems likely Hunter was promising to a lot of people.
We've just started developing a Shopify integration and used their Python API library because we're building it into an existing large Django codebase, and I've been shocked at the quality of the API library. We're now aiming to rewrite the bits we need.

- `import shopify` makes an API request. If their API rate limits you, your server will probably crash. This happened to us in production.

- That API request gets a dynamic list of supported API versions. If the version you've hard-coded in your app (because it's what you support) is no longer in that list, it will raise a VersionNotFoundError and your app will probably fail in some significant way.

- There's no connection persistence. Every API call sets up and tears down a full connection, a noticeable performance impact.

- Internally the library uses a lot of global state, it's certainly not safe to use in async code – too easy to use the wrong credentials on a request – and I suspect it's also not thread safe.

- Despite having something called a Session, very similar in documentation to a requests.Session or httpx.Session, it's neither, it's just a container for some creds. No sessions are available at all.

- It's mostly a wrapper around Pyactiveresource, which appears to have a lot of similar issues – internal state that's hidden that causes things to not work as you expect.

I suspect that the Python library was developed by Ruby engineers, some of the practices are things I've seen in Ruby but that just don't fit into the Python ecosystem.

From what I can tell their API deprecation strategy is quite hostile to developers.

I think it would be difficult to build what I'd consider to be production-grade services on top of the library. This is in stark contrast to others such as Stripe's API/libraries which are fantastic.
Is Gumroad a better fit perhaps for this use case?

That's correct. Parent should update the title
I share some of the pains the author raises. One major thing that is a bit discouraging is the inconsistent feature support they have between REST and GraphQL APIs. Neither of them cover all functionalities, so sometimes you have to be bouncing back and forth between REST and GraphQL.

On the other hand, they are doing an amazing job and constantly providing updates. Their docs are really good and improving everyday. Kudos to the shopify dev team.
Absolutely. Should have been more clear it was preference.

I remember hearing Cohen was working on a crypto ages ago and filed away in the "Neat, wake me up when it's actually real" category. Now it looks like it's actually real.

I'm massively jaded about any and all crypto at this point, but I've always felt if any of them were to really take off, they'd have to be more "practical", down-to-earth in solving solvable problems rather than trying to conquer the whole earth as most of them try to do. This feels very much like that. The #1 issue with Bitcoin IMHO is that it can't be used as everyday currency because it's wildly unstable (speed is a close #2). This cripples adoption massively. In contrast, Chia seems to be deploying several strategies right out of the gate to try to squash wild value fluctuations. Will this work, and will anyone care? Who knows, but it at least seems to be on the right track.
This is great news and an amazingly strong outcome! Proxalutamide is an antiandrogen, which reduces some of the effects of androgens including testosterone, so I wonder if this has a stronger effect in males than in females. Although the paper mentions the sex distribution of the patients, it doesn't seem to mention the details necessary to conclude this, but unless I'm mistaken over something trivial I'm unsure as to why. Anyone have any thoughts?
Most art sales don't happen through public auction. If you want to invest in more art, you'll have to go through galleries, which may choose whether or not to sell to you. And word does get around about who is bringing down the price of an artist.

I'm sorry for your loss. It is hard to watch beloved person struggle and not be able to help.

We had multiple loses in the past few years. One was a longer struggle. However, it wasn't torture the whole time. I admit, some days were pretty bad, but there were also good days. And there were also joyful new experiences, like meeting newly born family members. Thing is that while quality of life may look terrible from healthy persons perspective, body adapts to that state and combined together with moderen pain medication person is not in constant physical pain. Point being that it's usually not constant physical torture for years until person dies.

Another issue is psychological pain. This is where we can make a difference. Allowing people to not be perfect or the best, but still be equally worthy can do wonders.

If it’s in the constitution, especially if the founding fathers put it in, it can become popular with Americans.

It's not just that Amazon is not contributing back -- they are not contributing back at scale. They are consuming at scale. They have the scale to distort the established understanding of how a thing works.

Like, we've all seen the "have a penny/need a penny" trays at cash registers, and we all understand that sometimes we take or leave things there. Amazon is basically able to send someone to every single cash register in the city and take all the pennies. Sure, maybe that's not explicitly disallowed, but it definitely breaks the model.

Did he want to make the promotion of bikes and biking at any cost?

I have to testify that in Japan there is a wave of fashion and TV celebrities affecting a public discourse of "oh no the Japanese industry will be soon dying because of the push for electrification of all vehicles!".

Also, most of the loud (and very suffocating, when they zoom past you) bikers near my home are either old men (like this man) or in some cases their children.

I see this concern brought up frequently but I don't really think this is a big deal. In the grand scheme of things, ubiquous availability of video cameras is a fairly new development. Video cameras themself are a fairly new development.

We had a functional society before video evidence and we will have a functional society after video evidence.

Not sure if that bug explicitly, but the fact that clang in noalias mode assumes that two pointers to different variants of the same union are not aliased (if it can't see from the immediate context that they are pointers to the same union variable) can very much affect Rust - if you call one function with a &mut to one field, than another function with a &mut to another field, and the optimizer inlines both functions in a broader context and loses the union information, you may well see reordering issues even in pure safe Rust.

Anyway, Rust has found plenty of noalias bugs in clang, which is why it still doesn't compile with noalias optimizations turned on.
