This is so infuriating. NIST has been advising against it for years by now and even Microsoft switched the official stance last year or so, but it still keeps being done out of inertia. It's also still in the AWS best practices (I unsuccessfully tried to argue against introducing it for our accounts).

Though, to be honest, at this point I believe that humanity should just abandon passwords for all but the most unimportant of things (e.g. your account on some hobbyist forum), at this point they just have too many downsides and most people seem to be unable to handle them properly.
> Code reviews. There's good reason for them to exist, but in practice at best they're a waste of time, and at worst an exercise in narcissism. People nitpicking the way a statement is written because they feel like their subjective preference is objectively better. Perfectionists who block forward progress in attempts to pick out every possible detail that doesn't matter in the big picture, instead of moving forward with 80% good. Choosing a worse solution that a reviewer suggests because you know they're always the last to back down. And code reviews rarely catch the bugs that actually matter.

I found that code reviews without a design review or at least a description of the proposed design in the PR itself, is nothing but a waste of time the way you just described.

Imagine a Civil Engineer being walked through a construction site and making comments right about work, while even though he knows the fellas are building a bridge, he has no idea how that bridge ought to look like etc.
This becomes a waste of time because I have to read the diff and build a mental model, which is at best a guess, of what the author wanted to build/change based on just the diff. This is even worse with code bases I'm barely familiar with (which is increasing since we have a bunch of "micro services").
It matters a lot, because in native games you can easily check if the 3D acceleration is present, not so on Web 3D APIs.

So the game that runs without problems on your development machine, can have all sorts of issues on the client browser that you cannot work around like on native, because they are caused by how the browser is blacklisting the user's hardware or drivers.
I read it as "Linux had free updates for 6 years and the manufacturer was negligent to apply them".
> I get that it doesn't make sense to offer parts for 20yo cars

Why not? Personally i believe a hardware manufacturer should be bound by law to sell parts for any vehicle it sold in the past, as long as it exists. Yes even if it was produced 40 years ago. There's no reason for it to be otherwise.

If this was mandated by law all the tiny incompatibilities that they introduce with very varied models will suddenly go away because they'll be careful to make products that can actually be maintained and repaired decades from now with spare parts compatible with different models.

Some people use cars who are more than 50 years old and they're just fine. Same goes for washing machines, drills, bikes... We have to stop this capitalist nonsense that keeps on producing single-use items that end up in the trash in the coming months. IT'S INSANE!
Thats because “best practices” only apply in simple situations. In complex dynamic situations made of humans with feelings, there are only “good practices” which might be applicable in context.

This. I get a little exhasperated wheneve I hear people push for a FEDERAL minimum wage. I'm not against wages being negotiated for the benefit of workers, but like you mentioned; wage hikes will not have the same effect in San Francisco as they would, for instance, where I'm from; San Juan, Puerto Rico. The deleterious effects of price floors on labor are on a continuum and they would disproportionately affect our economy.

As others have pointed out, why can't the States handle it? I feel like Americans are too quick to forget that the United States of America are a federation of States and too often conceptually envisions the country as a single political unit. Comparisons to Europe are frequently drawn even though the scales are different and even then, many European countries have more decentralized minimum wage laws, such as collective bargaining agreements within specific industries, rather than nationally mandated ones.
The issue is that there are two layers of software: the SDK, and the software which you write which uses the SDK.

I think most of us are in the situation that our employers don’t explicitly want us to have Slack/Teams on our phones. They want us to be available.

Slack/Teams on my (personal) phone means I can run an errand in the middle of the day and still be available. I’m happy to use my personal device for it. The alternative is having much less flexibility.

If my employer expected me to be available outside office hours or when not at my computer it would be a completely different story. Like if I was on call. Then I’d demand they pay for my smartphone too.
That's interesting, it's a large CNC machine and not a mobile robot. That makes sense.
Coding is one of the most interesting things for programmers and software developers. You started doing it for fun, it was your hobby, it was your passion and later your passion becomes your job. In the early stage of your career, you might have enjoyed doing it a lot. You might have tried to stretch yourself as much as you can to prove yourself the best programmer among everyone. You might have also tried to do overtime ...

Easy Anti-Cheat (probably the biggest name in anti-cheat right now with games like Apex and Fortnite) actually does support Linux. The issue is even with Linux native anti-cheat, developers are not releasing Linux native games. And getting Windows anti-cheat to work on Linux Wine/Proton is harder to do because of the extra layers in between.
China has the 2nd largest (and according to some sources, probably the largest) consumer market on Earth, and is currently, by a large margin, the largest market for Cars, Smartphones, PCs, Fashion, and a host of other product categories. In 2020, China was the only major country where global corporations didn't see a significant decline in sales growth.

China is also, again by far, the largest e-commerce market and the largest mobile payments market on Earth.

This is what I was wondering. If such a thing existed as an El Salvador based VPN, would using that to download the wallet be enough to secure you your 30USD worth of Bitcoin?

And what about people within El Salvador downloading it to multiple devices from different IP addresses?

I don't exactly have one, because i'm also from the global north (france). I'm betting that before i get to "retire" (i'm not a employee so there's not really a such thing for me) either climate change will collapse the capitalist economy (let's enjoy clear water before industry has used it all) or government will have turned fully fascist and put the rest of us (anarchists, muslims, homosexuals/trans*) in concentration camp...

> it won't change the system

Do what you need to do. But keep in mind together we're strong enough to change it. Changing the system (which can only happen through a global revolution) is the only thing that matters to give new generations a chance to live a better life than the shitty one we had... and to escape all dystopian scenarios that are slowly coming to life.
> I'm from the south, and I'm pretty sure I recall hearing singular they used frequently when I grew up.

Singular “they” is well-attested as being in wide use continuously for centuries, before, during, and after the period during which the Victorian prescriptivists opposed to it in their attempt to recast English in the image of Latin held their strongest influence over firmal language. Residual opposition to it is either just the worst kind of misdirected pedantry, or reaction against the advocacy of using it for the purpose of inclusion.
Well, that was one hell of a rabbit hole.

To some extent both define a kind of fuzzy neighbourhood for each point, and both kind of induce a topology on the points. Both also seem to end up with some kind of weighted graph.

That said the UMAP approach has some very deep mathematical foundations, so it could take you a while to work that one out for a LSH approach.

That said you could also just use a few random projections as an initial step and use UMAP from there. The random projections should also give you a lower bound for the distance, which can be useful in finding the k nearest neighbours.

Writing a personal doc on the work machine is a non issue assuming a) it’s not sensitive in any way and b) it’s not getting you in trouble any other way.

Of course I do my personal coding on my own machine because of ownership/legal issues.

But replying with Gmail to my plumber or drawing my new kitchen using the CAD software on my work laptop or writing the invitations to the neighborhood barbecue if it’s more convenient? I’m just going to assume nothing bad will come of it.

Sensitive data, competing business, security risks, sure. But that’s pretty rare. Convenience easily trumps it.

It's also important to point out that despite using more energy because it's older hardware, it'll use considerably less energy during its all life, than it takes to produce a new computer.

Replacing old hardware with "more energy-efficient" hardware is a trap from green capitalism and the numbers do not add up usually.
Why is is better? It just seems different.

APL's usage of monad predates its use in conjunction with modern functional programming languages, by the way. It goes back to the 60s, and there are plenty of books and papers where these terms are used that way.

I can't say I care too much which terms people use, but in context of APL, I prefer the terms that were used by Iverson and have been in print for more than half a century.

But I don't want to carry two laptops all the time, let alone buy two.
True equity of outcomes means that people spend different amounts of effort but get to the same results.

So people from underrepresented backgrounds should be paid the same as top engineers regardless of output.
The faster devices generally vibrate more and give off more heat, which might make them unsuitable for mass storage (i.e. in a NAS box or other multi-drive arrangement). The difference might technically even invalidate warranties.

They also draw more power, which might mean they simply don't work properly in some low-power devices, or mean that any UPS someone might have one connected to will not last as long as they expect during a power interruption.
How Phoenix LiveView Works
I can give you an argument from end user perspective. It is quite some hassle to setup an AWS instances or services, you always have a feeling you are doing something wrong. With your service, it suits my needs as an individual dev.

But I see that as a challenge too, your target market is very limited. It is really cool product from dev or engineer perspective but I am not sure how you will go beyond individual developers. I think by posting your service here you might get a bias opinion, what would be really cool is if you target people who are learning to code and couple this service with that, it adds lot of value. Joy of getting an API working as a junior dev acts like a positive stimuli and your APIs are built for that. I dont think it is built for serious apps and services because the liability is high and it is very competitive too.

I was counting that as an example of a tech done well! CA does this too, but afaik, it is advertised as such when one signs up for a free Smart meter and there is even a slightly better rate offered.

This is one of those medical revolutions that I am waiting dearly for.

Facilities that are not hospitals(to avoid the risk of occupying medical devices that sick people need) built to _regulary_ check up otherwise healthy people for preventive care.

Heck, I have so many alerts defined on my monitoring setup for servers to watch for signals of failure before they get too big. But, my own body is not observed until something bad needs treatment. Why can’t we observe ourselves medically and analyze that record for early signs of trouble before it becomes serious?!

All the advancement in technology in recent years, this ought to happen sooner than later.
Yes, your statement is correct but I disagree with what you are implying. Please remember that I am the owner of the devices I bought and whether to repair any defect in MY devices should be my decision.

> I get a little exhasperated wheneve I hear people push for a FEDERAL minimum wage.

I would get exasperated by that, too, if it actually occurred; I mean, we’ve had a federal minimum wage since 1938, why would people be arguing for something we’ve had for close to a century?

But, since that is the case, I wonder if you’d like to clarify what it is you are ranting against, since it can't possibily really be the nonexistent and, if it did exist, utterly redundant movement to adopt a federal minimum wage.
> There is a lot of 'everything should be supported for eternity for free' in this thread, but I see no (at least somewhat) concrete suggestions for better solutions. If it was easy, we would have done it people.

That's the easy, concrete solution. It's just not "profitable" from a capitalist perspective, and that's why no manufacturer is doing it.

Well not exactly nobody. Some manufacturers like FACOM (probably others) that are not into electronics have (or used to have) lifetime warranties and will happily repair or replace a product that is decades old.

The question is: as a society, do we want to pursue everyone's good and make things more efficient and ecological? or do we want more profits for the industry owners and more inequality and damage to the environment?

These two paths are fundamentally opposed. There is no conciliating them. If you want "nature" and "consumer rights", then you need to abolish "capitalism".
I mean, we can easily do this today and nobody does. Maybe there is a reason for that? Like apps that simply are not made for such large screens? Or the far majority of apps I would have interest on my computer expect a integrated SIM card or other mobile specific hardware.

On the other hand metro does not feel right on a big screen anyway, maybe it fits well?

If you sell me a HD/IoT, and say it does X/Y/Z and then no longer want to provide X/Y/Z, I should get my money back.

This whole, "ah sorry we decided to end-of-life that because we couldn't make any more money off it" is so many levels of bullshit.

It's also part of a broader attitude on not repairing anything. Battery dead in your activity tracker? throw it out and buy a new one. Worse still, the band has degraded but the electronics are all fine? still throw it out (or put it in a drawer to never come back out).

Closely aligned to a recent story where Amazon is/was destroying masses of products that hadn't been sold. The waste is just extraordinary.
That's already a thing, at least everywhere I've ever lived. You have a primary care doctor, you see them at least once a year, they do a physical exam, maybe some blood work. This test maybe becomes standard of care for everyone annually.
The reason is fairly simple. Most phones have a slight to extreme (on the order of seconds) delay taking photos. Snaps are about moments. Instagram takes an actual photo and it often results in much worse photos (the picture quality is better, the moment often missed).

I'm not sure about this, but I think I remember Snapchat even having implemented actual photo taking and being frustrated about it. Of course a reasonable compromise would be letting users choose, but it seems like that's just not trendy enough.

The Wikipedia article seems to cover this quite well, but I'll say it here anyway: there are several kinds of singular "they".

Using "they" to refer to a word like "someone" or "anyone", as in "If everyone minded their own business", is totally normal and has been for a very long time.

Using "they" to refer to a hypothetical or unknown person described by an ordinary noun, as in "The user must prove their identity", is common enough nowadays but I get the impression that it wasn't so common 50 or 100 years ago.

Using "they" to refer to a known person, as in "My cousin lent me their copy", is very modern and likely to confuse some people.

And please don't try the old "to silence him / suppress the Secret Truths he knew!". A) The null hypothesis is that there are no such "Secret Truths"; and B) if anything, this "suspicious" death lends more weight, not less, to his deluded ravings. (As witnessed by much of this comment thread.)
