Have you tried installing a gaming mouse driver on MacOS? Same deal.

When I used it, MacOS also had the issue that some software didn't even have uninstallers. So you have to drag the app to the trash bin, then go and manually remove the various system software that it installed. Or run a script off of the internet. Software management on MacOS is no better than Windows in my opinion, and in many cases much worse.
I don't think yelling at customer service is nearly as common as it was years ago.

Why?

The person on the other end usually doesn't speak the same language, or if they do--it's not their native tongue.

There's no point in getting mad when they don't quite understand why you are calling in the first place.

Companies need to stop outsourcing Customer Service to the cheapest country.

Having a command over the customer's language might prevent a lot of security mixups?

I've certainly dealt with that in the past, but the reports, scripts, and webhooks in Netbox helped us automate our documentation QA.

Whenever data is altered, QA gets an immediate ticket to validate it and the reports give them the ability to quickly check it against our real-time inventory system.

To catch the case where data isn't entered, all project tasks and work tickets need to be associated with one or more Netbox updates, and QA confirms that as well.

There's no solution to this problem that's purely technical. In my experience you need to make it as easy as possible with your tooling, but you still have to have processes in place to catch mistakes and omissions.
The fact that C strings are presented in this format is totally irrelevant for the discussion of string search algorithms. They all have to know the length. Strings in most languages are not in that format, and it is an entirely reasonable assumption that the length is a known quantity.

I just run emacs in screen at the office, so I can always ssh into it from home.
For me, if it’s a few things, like a single hand basket, self checkout is fine and I’m happy to go that route in most cases.

Anything beyond a hand basket, or where I know one or more items in the list will require human intervention regardless, and then I think it’s better to go through the regular line.
Yeah, it's way too easy to get information like this from the customer service.

A while ago, I wanted to log into my carriers customer portal, but my account was so old that they still had an ancient email address in their system that I didn't have access to anymore. Previously, one could just login via the phone number and a code sent via SMS, but suddenly they required a password that was sent to the mail address. One could also reset the mail adress with the PUK, but I lost that too while moving. :-P

Ended up "hacking" my own account, by calling customer support a few times. The first two customer support agents wanted me to click on a link on a mail they sent to my mail adress or to go to a physical store with my ID card, to prove I'm not an attacker, even after I told them my name, address, date of birth, customer ID, bank account number, etc.

The third one just gave me the PUK, with no questions attached, after telling him just my name and phone number. :-D
"Today" is probably too early. You have to message this well in advance so that people who want to get the vaccine but perhaps were holding out for the fall season could get it in time. I know a good number of folks like that myself. It'd also be great if we could, _after a year and a half_, actually scale up capacity for N95 masks as well, at least for people who can't take the vaccine for medical reasons, if not for everyone who wants them.

The whole "fighting COVID" thing is 100% political at this point. If it wasn't, instead of requiring masks on a plane (stuffed like sardines in a can), we'd see TSA at least measure body temperature and look for symptoms. We'd see the same thing in grocery stores, hospitals, and other public places. Gavin Newsom wouldn't be dining unmasked at The French Laundry, and Barack Obama wouldn't call a 500+ person superspreader event.

People who tell us to worry about COVID, as a rule, demonstrably aren't worried about it themselves. Fauci himself rips that mask off his face immediately after cameras turn off. So after I received the vaccine, I basically said "fuck it" and I'm not going to comply with anything anymore. Nor will I get any "booster" shots or whatever else they come up with. I will also not work with or for anyone who mandates any of this useless garbage.

Except that's completely wrong. All the costs are borne by the citizens of NZ. Someone who can't go to work in NZ is just as affected as someone who can't go to work in the US. The difference is, and was, in the government's response in assisting those bearing those costs.
Yes but now it’s a standard feature also in EU, it’s built in since at least 2/3 years. It’s quite common in EU for connecting to a router or connect IoT devices or inside the art exhibitions but now with the “green pass” is becoming a standard feature for all the people and especially the elderly.
Wondering which EU countries will take the lead here.
1. Pedestrians do wander into bike lines quite a bit but I think it's improving because of the sheer number of e-bikes and scooters out there now.

2. The sidewalks and bike paths run together, and road crossings are dual marked. Everyone needs to exercise extra caution, of course.

3. Riders for the most parts have the same traffic flow as pedestrians. If you're turning right, you'll most likely cross both the sidewalk and the bike path at the same time.
No--in CA you need a drivers license, proof of insurance in your vechicle, or you get a fat ticket.

(It makes no sence because they have a digital picture of you provided by DMV in their cruisers, along with proof of insurance?)
> Bikes are pretty low maintenance, the repairs are usually fairly simple

Most forks and rear shocks require full service yearly or more frequently (typically every 100 to 200 hours). It is not that simple and requires experience and tools. Tubeless tires are messy. Bleeding breaks is another thing I would rather not do at home. And frankly, I can never setup my derailleur as well as my mechanic.

> the parts are cheap

Shocks, forks, transmission components, performance wheels are easily in the iPhone category and beyond.

Clothing, protection, accessories, smaller components like handlebar stems or seatposts are still usually in the three digit range.

You would be surprised to know how much consumables like chains and tires can cost per year.

> low volume service

I might be living in a place where both MTB and road cycling are very popular, but bike mechanics have so much work that they redirect clients to each other.

> If a bike is really damaged it usually makes more sense to just replace it wholesale

Full suspension bikes can easily have a $2K frame and $2K worth of components. Unless it was hit by a freight train, the bike is almost never completely destroyed by a crash. So it makes sense to replace what's broken. If the frame is solid, everything else is replaceable.

As long as bikes are ridden hard, there is always work for mechanics, and it can be pretty expensive.
20 years ago I used to spend 2 hours a week walking round a supermarket. I haven't done that for 15 years. That's 100 hours a year and 1000 miles of driving that I don't need to do.

If a lightbulb blows, I could get in the car, drive to the local shop, find one which will do (but probably not the right one), and drive home, or I could just go click-clikc and get on with the gardening safe in the knowlege that someone else will bring a replacement to me tomorrow.

These are good things. I would like an alternative to amazon (like argos or whatever), but they just don't get it. Royal mail has had an amazing delivery network throughout the UK for decades, delivering mail and parcels next day from Lerwick to Hugh Town, from a random shack on a road 30 miles from Inverness to a central London office. It's such a shame that this wasn't utilised to provide competition to amazon, because old people like the idea of a "high street" and living like the 1950s.

A version of the image that has had the picture data removed or obscured (so only the metadata can be reviewed) is consistent with that statement.

This is how marketing works. A company comes up with a plan and then the marketers come up with the best sounding technically true description consistent with it. The fact that the description creates an entirely false impression on the reader is by design.
But you could have ADTs without using them for 'forced error handling', and you could have 'forced error handling' without using ADTs for it - C could require 'consumption' (for a slightly less strict meaning of it) of return values. That's the bit I think is interesting/was new to me. You can't just call `maybe_works();`, you have to explicitly consume its 'result', even if just to propagate the error as `maybe_works()?;`.
It is interesting that e.g. this has:

From what I understand, go errors don't have stacktraces by default for performance reasons.

It's definitely good to see a strong increase in entrepreneurship in Europe, though I do wonder whether the Y Combinator program can keep up its quality and value-add as they themselves scale up.

It's one thing to have weekly sessions with experienced leaders like PG and others, and a small enough cohort whereby you can swap stories and learn as you progress through the program. On an industrial scale though, you lose a lot of that intimacy and you have to default to cookie-cutter approaches. Learning via mentors originally, vs. learning in the classroom currently.

I know many founders use Y Combinator as a badge of merit to increase their chances of follow-on funding, but there is an interesting question of how much value-add it now adds to the original type of startup team (young, scrappy, more inexperience than product-market-fit and customers).
This is basically failure in European startup ecosystem that companies needs to go SF, but good for Y Combinator and SF that they can attract best talent.
> After experiencing not being able at all to go to a high street and buy things and forcing everything to be online, I realized just how bad the experience is

I have rarely been to a high street to buy stuff (rather than say a cafe or haircut) for 10 years. Imagine having to traipse somewhere, then actually walk around looking at random things on shelves hoping to find what you want?

I have been to large out of town shops like B&Q on occasion, the experience is better than a local hardware store, but still massively inferior to shopping online.

Curiously enough, most apps talking to the network apparently don't even ask for firewall exemptions and just do it. The Windows-standard firewall exemption dialog window is suspiciously rare to be seen while almost everything today tries to contact network servers. This is why I installed Sphinx Software Windows 10 Firewall Control which apparently does a much better job detecting processes trying to reach the Internet (although it uses the same firewall engine built into Windows). I use it to block every app which doesn't really need the net to do the job I want it to do. Nevertheless it would be naïve to believe it gives 100% protection, there actually are plenty of ways to bypass a firewall.
You have undoubtedly heard platypuses more often.

I have never seen nor heard anyone write or say “platypi” before now. Some web sleuthing suggests that platypuses is somewhere between 20 and 100 times more common in English.
I agree with that observation; also somewhere in-between you have hobby/club cycle racing that has some popularity (Road, MTB, BMX, 4cross, CycloX etc), which are essential feeders into the national/pro/elite (my Brother is a British Cycling qualified coach/scout for BMX).
However, they don't have to turn around and slag it in their documentation, which seems like a dick move.

Switching to Javascript has nothing to do with "scaling". They wanted to go to JS, and simply jettisoned their bootstrapping booster rocket once they got there, because they didn't want Pyret users (including maintainers) to have a dependency on a Racket installation that is otherwise irrelevant to the running code.
The german carrier Telekom allows you to take posession (add it to your customer account as a "contract owner") of a phone number with just the PUK and a one-time code sent to the phone number via SMS. I guess many other carriers use the same system.

You're then able to modify the contract and, for example, can get a second sim card. The affected phone number gets a "Welcome to our customer portal" message, but that's that.

I actually used this to get access to my own phone number after losing access to the connected mail account. :-D
Absolutely, but it also seems wrong that assets gained through criminal activities are now being paid out completely clean to the convicted criminal. As the prosecutor is quoted saying in the article it's a mistake to convert a variable value asset into a fixed price, especially when Swedish government inefficiency leads to the asset being liquidated 2 years later.
Other parts (thank you) have already notified this poster about the evident interpretation of the original post (which I ended with «One [...] cannot point to virus or vaccine for anything that happens», thinking it should make it very clear).

I just need to note that these kind of dismissive positions - "all is well, nothing to see here, go back to your business, everything is simple" - are exactly one of the suspicion raising attitudes, causing hesitance and, in the patterns of some mindsets, «kill[ing] people».

In the context of information sharing and discussion (here) dealing with complexity is part of the game, but the real issue is in the "public" context of government and journalism: I am frequently reading, even minutes ago, mutilations of complexity and bad arguments (e.g., the strawman: group A is insane so group B is wrong) - all of this stiffens the hesitant position.

It's not "European startup ecosystem", it's basically "European societies". Imagine how well would SV work if being involved in a bankrupt company (co-founder, major investor, C-suite) made banks refuse to talk to you again for 10-20 years. I believe that was the case in France. You wouldn't even be able to open a checking account, never mention any credit again.
This seems to vary from person to person. I personally think that it hurts a little bit for a few seconds, as do most of my friends that have the same device, but other friends call it torture.

In the UK you don't have to carry your license or insurance while driving - although you can be required to give your name, and to take those documents to a police station within 7 days. For certain crimes they can also arrest you and/or seize your vehicle.

Of course, in the UK car registration plates are issued and attached by the dealer, before a car's first sale, and they never expire. So they can find the registered keeper of a vehicle just by looking at the plates.

What there should be is a local store that stocks everything (rather than having to choose between one of 50 different specialised stores), and rather than self service from walking around the store, you simply ask the shopkeep to bring you what you want.

And then instead of having to go to that store, the shopkeep could even send someone to bring you the goods. It would be like the olden days.
I have one of the original right hand Ploopy trackballs.

- It comes in a kit and as you need to assemble it, you feel emotionally attached to it

- The designer (Colin) probably has big hands. I have a small hand and it doesn't fit right.

- The 3d printed texture is great.

- The ball doesn't 'flow'. It doesn't keep momentum. You apply a strong movement and it spins dead within the second.

- I absolutely love it is open source, but there is not much of a community around it, probably because the barriers of entry are quite high. I never found the time to hack it myself.

- It tracks the movement extremely well. Accuracy, precision are awesome. Better than any other trackball I have (and I have MANY). On par with the logitech mx master.

- The position of the thumb wheel is not good for my hand. After months of use it started giving me RSI. And now everytime I use it, I notice within the hour that something is not right.

My perfect trackball would be the ploopy:

- With a smaller body for small hands

- With momentum in the scroll wheel ALA logitech mice

- With a different position for the scroll wheel
Better answer for the question "I tried to send some photos to my girlfriend and typed gail.com instead of gmail.com in the address field. The photos were of a very personal nature. Can you please delete them?" would be: "Don't worry! Your photos of a very personal nature are safely stored at NSA and will be scanned for all possible (ab)uses, many times, even in the future. In case of artificial intelligence false positives, they will also be manually scanned and reviewed - many times, even in the future. So please send the removal request to the NSA."
Bike lanes where traffic has priority when turning across are a disaster:

- Gives cyclist false sense of security, since they need to yield to vehicles turning across "their lane"

- Little notice given to drivers that they need to take care, since they have right of way

- Cyclists have to stop at every side road, which can make taking the bike path as slow as walking

Experience cyclists won't use them and novice cyclists are given an unsafe and slow route; they will drive instead. What a waste of public funds.

A better solution, as seen in NL and some parts of London, is to make the motorist give way or even remove the vehicle entrance entirely. The transport mix you get is the transport mix you build for.

Segregating cycle traffic can create dangerous intersections, but well designed intersections do not. For example, you can give the cycle lane its own light phase. There is no question that well designed segregated infrastructure is safer than no cycle infrastructure at all.
I was using that approach for a while, but the problem is if you're in the folder defined in the includeIf - and you clone new repository from there - it will use your root config, not the additional config.
includeIf path matching works only if the folder is already under git.

A solution is to make a dummy repo in the repo where includeIf points to - but that is annoying a little, as sometimes it confuses IDEs or makes shell (ZSH + addons) slower - as it tries to seek for changes.

The best solution I've found is to unconditionally include an additional config in the main config. But the additional config is coming from a dynamic location that I mount in my shell when I work. Basically during the working hour I mount my entire partition which is encrypted under ~/work. And I have my config under ~/work/.gitconfig. I have also there my additional shell config - so during working hours I have everything set up.
The cons is that I need to mount/unmount that partition every day.
