My first code for CGI was all done in C. When I found Perl, there was no looking back, never used C for CGI again.

While I haven't written any significant Perl in a long time, I will always appreciate how much it improved things for me back then.

GPT-3 powered SaaS that brings remote management to the next level
Interesting perspective. I had long tended towards the viewpoint of, "Jeez guys, it's just an RSS reader, there's 50 better ones now, why do we have to whine about Reader getting cancelled every 5 minutes?". This is the first good explanation I've found for why it could be considered a bigger deal.
Probably to avoid narrowing the public.

At least in France it’s an OHSA equipment. They did mandate stupid stuff (they required me to give wireless keyboards); but shoulder, back, elbow and wrist inflammation are serious in IT jobs, and if an employee is at risk, the employer must fund the risk mitigation, i.e. the chair. I’m happy to do that.

Fun stuff, I work more than my employees, so OSHA asked me to have an Aeron-type chair (500€, Enjoy model), while my employees will be fine with just a good work seat for 7hrs a day. I actually wish I could give more stuff to my employees but they are a bit afraid to ask - It’s important to have regular talks about comfort.
I wonder if you've ever actually worked in a unionized workplace. I used to be a teacher in Oakland, CA, and I was part of the contract negotiation (bargaining) team. I was elected to that position and it was unpaid.

For bigger locals than mine there are certainly paid negotiators. That makes sense, because you're bargaining with management, who is paid to negotiate with you. You generally don't want amateurs (like me!) with no experience going up against professionals who are trained and coached in contract negotiation.

> an uncheckable form of power for the individuals who run the union

> I'd be curious for union models which effectively empower a check on union power by the workers.

I'm not sure you understand what a union is. Most positions of power (the "individuals" I understand you to be referring to above) are elected. Sure there are bureaucrats who are appointed rather than elected. But what's the alternative? The workplace has its own power structure and, to be effective, a union generally needs its own. Don't like it? Run for a position in the union and change it!
Yep, though it wasn’t quite “closed” since people were after see comments from friends of friends.

I had several real professional friendships start this way, and quite a few others that I followed just to see the thoughts/opinions of people in different life stages & life styles. It was a very different vibe from other “social” sites even then, and I haven’t found anywhere else that had ability to have conversations about a large breadth of topics while also going deep into them if one wanted.

It had a BarCamp kind of feel to me, more like the discussions that happen at a party with a lot of people who are confident in themselves but aren’t looking to prove it to other attendees.

Note that this is almost certainly some bit of romanticizing, and the communities would of course have a lot of variance but mine was dope. Fashion designers, artists, historians, a couple chefs, computer scientists, theologians, and others came together for great conversations and lots of perspectives.

Normal computer users don't understand:

- What a filesystem is.

- How directories, files, and filesystems relate to one another.

- What a server is/does.

- How any kind of raw text whatsoever relates to what the computer "actually is" (the GUI)

- When or how or under what circumstances a program might read a file (say, re-reading a config file)

- What all that prompt noise means.

- Why some things they type on the command line work and why others don't—they don't understand that the things they're running are discrete programs and not somehow built in to the terminal or the OS, and they certainly don't understand the concept of a PATH.

- All kinds of magical bullshit you need to just know (or spend time finding out then internalizing) to use a command line (what the fuck is ".."? Why do I need to put "-" before things seemingly at random, but other times that breaks stuff? Et c., et c.)

- What they can even expect to be able to do on the command line (change permissions on files? Is that a thing you can do? Oh now you're going to need to learn how your OS permissions system works on a lower level than you've ever needed to know before, or else just blindly copy-paste from the Web and hope for the best)

And that list is far from comprehensive.

I became a software engineer because CS was the only class in school that has ever, ever genuinely interested me at a deep, fundamental curiosity level. It's definitely something about the fact that the work is about the closest you can get to getting paid to be a logician. My second favorite class in school was of course the Symbolic Logic class I took in college, which was extremely amusing to me since I was the only CS major in the class, yet by the end of it I think all the other students had a better grasp of programming than like 50% of CS majors.

(This was a philosophy credit that was completely elective - people only really had 1-2 slots for these "Elective: Any" kinds of classes since most of your electives were like "Elective: Chemistry" or something like that. So people in these kinds of classes purely self-selected. Most people just took one of the well-known blow-off classes, which honestly I don't fault them for, this wasn't an easy school).

Julia is such a wonderful language. There are many design decisions that I like, but most importantly to me, its ingenious idea of combining multiple dispatch with JIT compilation still leaves me in awe. It is such an elegant solution to achieving efficient multiple dispatch.

Full RCA with the steps the team has taken to improve this setup will be coming soon. The main issue with AWS's DNS solution, in this context, is that they don't support ALIAS records or similar techniques (CNAME flattening, etc) for A records pointing to any external provider. That limits our options a lot in terms of what we can do, since anyone using this setup need to point all their traffic to one or more fixed IP addresses.

Our current solution for the free/self-serve tier of Netlify has been to rely on Google's load balancer product to give people a stable IP pointing to a highly available solution. In light of recent issues, our team has setup a new permanent IP for A records (75.2.60.5) backed by a different solution, but due to the way DNS providers with no ALIAS record support work, it does require our customers to manually change their A records.

I totally get that moving DNS providers is a big deal and we want to give the best experience we can regardless of what provider you're on, but we have to work within the technical limitations of those providers and it's the nature of things that we do have more options to deliver a completely seemless experience when we operate both the DNS and the edge layer for customers.

> Yeah I’m going to need examples of what features get locked by not providing location.

Strava refuses to let you track your ride if you don't allow always-on background tracking. (They changed this about a year ago. Previously "while using the app" was sufficient)

A lunch menu app that I used before Covid allowed you to show nearby restaurants based on location. But there was no way to manually enter a location (without GPS it was just a huge unsorted list).

These are two examples that come to my mind (I'm not a person who uses a lot of different apps, I'm sure there's more out there. Try rejecting location access for a few apps and see what happens)

Edit: I'm also not sure why you are so hung up on geo restrictions. I don't really care about geo restrictions, and even if, you could avoid them trivially with VPNs that are widely available. That just has nothing to do with keeping my GPS coordinates private.

But children wouldn't necessarily be learning in a classroom the entire day. Even today there's a bunch of extracurriculars (band practice, sports, etc.) that occur between dismissal up until dinnertime.

If these "after schools" or "buxibans" (as I grew up around) became integrated into the school system itself that seems the most ideal. It would certainly kill off a secondary market of cram classes, for better or for worse.

Homework might not even be a thing at that point since they could just do it at school, as you mentioned.
Actors have a union. I think the analogy is apt. The "A-lister" programmers always have a job etc... It's everyone else. Professors have unions, doctors have unions, nurses have unions. This is no brainer.
With a single thread & SQLite connection instance, I have been able to insert hundreds of thousands of rows per second when using NVMe drives.

Note that WAL and synchronous flags must be set appropriately. Out of the box and using the standard "one connection per query" meme will handicap you to <10k inserts per second even on the fastest hardware.

The trick for extracting performance from SQLite is to use a single connection object for all operations, and to serialize transactions using your application's logic rather than depending on the database to do this for you.

The whole point of an embedded database is that the application should have exclusive control over it, so you don't have to worry about the kinds of things that SQL Server needs to worry about.

SQLite is not a direct replacement for SQL Server, but with enough effort it can theoretically handle even more traffic in your traditional one-database-per-app setup, because it's not worrying about multiple users, replication, et. al.
I still think Lambda was just CGI tarted up and sold as a whole new thing.

This article is unactionable fluff.

I shouldn't be too hard on myself? gee thanks, a fortune cookie can tell me that. And it's a shorter read too.

Why does the obvious question go unacknowledged by this article? The question is roughly "How does someone calibrate how they reflect on their actions and effectively guide themselves through life?" People are not tough on themselves for no reason, it's a (possibly misguided) attempt to push themselves towards their goals. If you tell them to be self-compassionate without answering that you're setting them up to resist your advice.

What deduction am I to make other than: the article doesn't address the question because it doesn't have an answer.

NB: I have an answer that works for me; I'm talking about how good this piece of persuasive writing is at providing one for people that don't. But thanks for the advice.

There is real enduring value in being a source for information that is true and trusted. It is possible that Facebook might choose that path.

> Does this pass the mask test? As we all remember, the WHO said to not wear masks early during the outbreak.

Honestly, this strikes me as simply a loaded question bordering on a dog whistle. I can't count the number of times that folks have used early mask recommendations during the pandemic as a way to a) undermine the authority of health institutions, while simultaneously b) positing the idea that there is no objective facts or truth.

In short, I don't believe your question is being put forth in good faith.

Please, disabuse me of this notion. Why should this one specific example be used as a justification for social networks not engaging in fact checking?
I agree that it is in much better shape today and any competing project starting from scratch would be at a disadvantage with respect to the size of their test suite. However, I also like the BoringSSL approach of forking the project and deleting all the dumb features that nobody needs. They deleted the option flag involved in this advisory, years ago. By deleting it they avoided having to add tests for it.
The Microsoft taskbar has always had the most prominent feature of the dock: Allowing you to organize and launch apps from a bar on the left/right/bottom of your screen. Prior to Windows 7 though, you could only add shortcuts to the taskbar and when you launched an app from that shortcut a wholly separate taskbar button would appear.

Starting with Windows 7, Microsoft merged the functionality of launching apps into the taskbar buttons. This way, when you "pin" an app to the taskbar and then click on the pinned item, the pinned item became the taskbar button which represented the running app. This is how the Mac dock works. I think that the only major feature of the Mac dock that Microsoft doesn't offer is "recent apps" but I could be forgetting something since I haven't used Windows for work in a while.

In the end, as per usual, Microsoft lets you have it both ways. If you want a dock you can leave the taskbar configured as default (grouping taskbar buttons and collapsing them into a single button) or you can turn that off and have the original taskbar functionality. If you add something like 7+ Taskbar Tweaker you can even ungroup them, drag and drop taskbar buttons to re-organize them and enable "middle click" to close the window represented by the taskbar buttons like you would with browser tabs.

When I moved my workstations/work laptop all to Manjaro/XFCE I was happily surprised to find that XFCE taskbar has all the features of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker. I don't know what XFCE's design philosophy is, but if I had to guess it's "Implement all the desirable features of Windows in a minimalist fashion and add features for power users."
