even older...kids struggle to understand reasoning sometimes. It happens with our children and frankly, we provide them with a LOT less tech/crutches than most parents. We always limited TV/tech time and encouraged them to find other sources of entertainment.

Take example this weekend. We went on a family trip to a theme park. Got home really late (for them) and they were exhausted. The younger we carried to bed.

The next morning we didnt immediately make my youngest take a bath to wash off the residual sunscreen etc. Rather we did our morning routine. Morning got away from us and we see by about 9:30 hes playing in the play room (boy loves building things with blocks, legos, whatever he can ) but is itching like crazy. We see a splotches developing.

"Hey son, lets go take a shower, then you can get back to playing"

"No i want to play"

"You are really itching (and whining about it), lets wash off everything from yesterday and you can get right back to it"

"no i want to play"

And a standoff ensued. In the end he complied and I had to put my foot down, and he cried most of the time. We tried to explain. Calmly tried to reason and get him to calm down.

Eventually during the shower I had to raise my voice, threaten punishment to get him to snap out of his own feedback loop, collect himself and stop. There was no reasoning involved. It was, if you dont stop, punishment will be had.

This also happens to a larger degree with our older (pre-teen) kid. Shes a little more reasonable (clearly she can see 5 minutes out) but a week, a month, years? Nope.

Its always funny when people just say kids are smart and to reason with them. Its true to a degree. But making sacrifices in the short term for a better long term outcome is not natural, its a learned trait and there are many adults that cant manage that (just look at the CC debt rates in the US). Kids of any age tend to live in the short term, wanting short term rewards and not teaching them long term rewards does them a disservice into adult hood.

Managing tech is a part of that. Very few are going to be "reasonable" about moderating their usage especially as many peers will have unfettered access to the same. Hell *I* sometimes struggle with it and I dont really have any social media (short of here and a waning use of reddit).

And before you go there. My relationship with my kids is pretty solid. Moreso than most, we tend to keep lines of communcations open and they dont generally keep things from us because they know we will be judicious with what they tell us. But at the end of the day they are still kids and we are their parents, not their friends.
Nice try, but we need to see your article to know it's a legit headline :)
Existential Optimism
Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who actually likes using Confluence.

Jira...I can definitely see why people have issues. But confluence has always been rock solid for me and easy to use.
I just looked it up because I was curious. Shanghai average temps seldom reach below freezing [1]. The average January low is 36 degF.

Is it really that big of a problem, then? If so, couldn't the government regulate use of electric heating? It's not like water pipes bursting is a huge risk.

High quality stereo recording is only available in our premium subscription (20$/year). The subscription comes with a one month free trial, which should give you some time to try it and see if you like it :)
Cool so now if election fraud really does occur in the future it will be impossible to inform people about it because it will be actively suppressed.
I disagree. If someone is posting misinformation according to these standards, I'm happy about YouTube taking such things down.

How can we have an informed electorate when misinformation (whether intentional or not) is allowed to propagate? We know at this point that incendiary content tends to spread faster than the often-boring truth. Turning a blind eye is a race to the bottom that encourages political parties and those with an agenda to create more of this misleading content.

They give a list so you have some guidelines. Ultimately, you can argue with the guidelines and generally agreed-upon facts, and I'm sure many will.
The whole point is that this doesn't scale. What do you do when there are too many users to interview them all over coffee?
That looks very similar Timorese document management systems out there. We’ve been using Alfresco very successfully as a knowledge management system since it preserves everyone’s flow in terms of tools. Devs have their Markdowns, business has ODTs, etc.
Yes, they should. And they are already very worried about it. Only know that with certainty about Shure but I'd be surprised if the other companies weren't thinking in the same direction.

My assumption is that we'll see the same development in the audio recording space as we saw it in the camera space. It's not 1:1 exactly the same - microphones have always been a lot more in the (semi-) professional area than cameras have been, and stage mics etc. aren't going anywhere. But for home recording, be that audio-only or the audio for your video, dedicated microphones (and audio interfaces) will see their market shrink significantly.
There's no need for nuanced analysis. The root cause of the hatred for Atlassian products is that they are utter shit
> Everyone in the industry is telling anyone who will listen that there is no shortage of petrol (gas), and there is no shortage of drivers.

If that were true, then there'd be no issue. But things were continuing to worsen before the media reported on it.
I believe this is a misconception, just because we used to have the same mis-understanding with staff where I worked.

The misconception comes from being given a target-time which is based on a calculation assuming the task can be completed successfully with no delays, however afterwards the target-times are recalculated to account for the additional movement.

A common assumption is that performance is (Time it took / Initial target time) - especially because the users see the target time - however it is really (Time it took / Recalculated target time accounting for additional movements).

I'm not aware of Amazon's exact implementation - but all performance management suites I'm aware of will re-calculate afterwards based on 'actual' task rather than 'forecast' task.
This feature is useful in so many different places. I use it to diff small encrypted files in my repo - just add `gpg -d` as a diff configuration and now I can use git log, diff etc in a meaningful way with binary files.

I've heard of people using it with pdfs as well - a pdf to html converter lets you get a good idea of what changed in the document.
This looks great! I've been looking for an open-source alternative to Sublime ever since the relatively underwhelming ST4 release.

An interesting one I found was CudaText (https://cudatext.github.io/), which has a lot of features and is a solid editor but... it's written in Free Pascal. That's not a technology I want to deal with for what would be my #1 tool.

I'll definitely be trying this out for myself soon, but it'd be helpful if you could include some side-by-side screenshots comparing the font rendering of your fork to the original, considering that's one of the main differences.
My last "team" was constantly paralyzed by this. The scrum master would go around and everyone had to vote on the number of points they thought a story was, which then led to extended debate. Of course, it can always be worse...near the end, they tried some idiotic thing called "planning poker".
I guess I am in the minority of devs - I am a fan of project management tools, particularly confluence and jira.

I switched into tech from finance, where your projects management tools are multiple email threads on the same topic and an excel spreadsheet that gets emailed around for people to update.

Yes, it could be better, but I am happy that it is not a lot worse.
I really don't have the hatred for these Confluence products that most around here seem to have. Sure, there's some quirkiness in writing in the Confluence WIKI, especially now that there's also no behind the scenes confluence-based markdown mode, like we used to have.

And regarding JIRA, I'm guessing it's because more people around here are working on small single focused teams, or early stage startups, and don't really appreciate the power of JIRA to orchestrate delivering complex features that span multiple different groups at an org. At a base level, creating simple JIRA task tickets for a single teams scrum is just so damn easy, and devs looking at their assigned work for the sprint, is pretty easy. And it basically integrates with all the tools devs use, from Emacs to Slack, etc....

I'm really not sure what alternatives people are into? Also, these current tools are such a huge step forward from what we used to use a decade ago...
What I didn't understand about this though was the demo was like "Oh I've already got funds in my magic unicorn lighting non conformance wallet" which sounded a lot like he just waved away all the complexity which is actually buying bitcoin with cash and withdrawing it.

The process was like "I send $10 of btc here, and it turns up here" but not "I deposited $72 bucks into my account to purchase btc through strike here, which bought $65 worht of bitcoin, which was worth $120 by the time I opened the twitter app and sent the $10 worth of btc, which was worth $9.80 when it arrived and then the guy who received it in his wallet went to withdraw in USD at one of the new cash points by which point the currency had fluctuated again and it was worth $5"
As addendum to 1, this also means it's often seen as the technological hammer with which to get rid of organizational problems, without having to put management effort into solving them first. That can't not end in tears, no matter which particular hammer is directed at your thumbs.
> Unlike the toilet paper panic buying there is limited capacity people can buy, so I would expect this to naturally end short term when people don’t have capacity to buy any more.

Didn't the Colonial Pipeline attack have people filling up plastic bags with gas?
You'd think so, but people and especially enterprise devs seem to discount GDocs as viable and themselves gravitate towards Atlassian. I've dropped enterprise web project mgt tools for my team's in the past and the amount of hate I experienced for going back to Excel and weekly status chats (where I fill in the Excel for them) is astounding, and yet Jira is rarely updated truthfully. Maybe that's why they do it, Jira is a great place to hide lack of progress without embarassment.
I think generally speaking humans are petty and nation to nation 'punishments' and reactions generally look petty just by default ... short of war.

Good or bad choice I'll leave that to everyone else to decide (wouldn't cost China much to just do ... nothing) but I think it's human nature to some extent.
When the lockdowns started, I realized I was barely moving. I bought an affordable treadmill from Amazon and wandered around the hardware store for parts and built a sturdy treadmill desk setup. Total build cost was around $500. Now I walk miles and miles every day, feel more focused, and am in the best shape of my life.

Thanks a bunch :)
Just downloaded to play with later, but one feature all these apps are missing is an easy import + loop feature. I want to quickly import a clip and loop it seamlessly so I can riff on it. I don't care about overdubbing or having a DAW on my phone, but I want to be able to easily iterate on an idea and struggle to do that on the go with any iOS app I've tried.
I'm not absolving YouTube (or any other media platform) of blame, but I really don't see a good solution here.

We've already seen how devastating misinformation can be; however, I still tend to err on the side of freedom of speech.

I don't want widespread misinformation, but who gets to decide what that is?
"Election integrity: Content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of select past national elections, after final election results are officially certified."

I'm not saying any elections were hacked or fraudulent, but how does YouTube determine which claims are true or false?
Precedents: who can understand them?

Reddit groups aren’t EU members.

And Schadenfreude isn’t punishment.
That's quite a claim. Do you have some strong evidence to back it up?

The electoral commission went to great lengths and expense to find any wrong doing and came up with nothing.

Edit:
Rant alert:
It really irks me that the people who call the Brexit election unfair, don't seem to acknowledge that Britain was never given any kind of referendum when joining the EU

"Although the United Kingdom ratified the treaty in Parliament, this was not without some opposition. Broadly the governing Labour party supported the treaty, while the opposition Conservatives did not. The Liberal Democrats supported the treaty, while calling for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU as a whole.[119] Several 'Eurosceptic' MPs called for a referendum on the ratification of the treaty. Daniel Hannan pointed out that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair had twice promised a referendum on the matter, to which Blair replied that he had promised a referendum on the European Constitution rather than the Lisbon Treaty, which unlike the former was not a constitutional treaty.[120] In early October 2007, the Commons' European Scrutiny Committee had found that the treaty was "substantially equivalent" to the rejected constitution.[121]"

That's an interesting point. Currently, you could write that down in the Notes of that recording or take a photo of your Capo position for example.
Who knows, maybe there's an I, but it's not what we think it is.

Every proper religion has two sides: public and occult. Buddhism is a very elaborate, but still public and thus simplified teaching. The complexity and level of detail of Buddhism was appropriate at the time it was last updated.

For example, the meaning of word "I" from the occult perspective is interesting. That I is the number 1, the number of abstract spirit - the immutable mathematical principle behind reality. So that "I" exists, but it's unreal and it's shared by all humans.
Yes, exactly.
Having read many IBM manuals from that era seeing a blank page without the "This page intentionally left blank." text is almost jarring in a way.
Yep, its pretty weird. I feel like I'm doing more to train some AI bot than actually participating in discourse on youtube videos. Some comments of mine which are visible to me are invisible for any other user. The suggestion to discover what was wrong with my comment is to alter my sentences until something gets through. WTH? How about show the rules to play ahead of time. No more youtube comments for me I guess, I didn't realize that I was talking into a void.
It seems like some types of rules should be enforced once and other types should always happen.

I’d imagine a rule to check the existing market and determine if there are too many duplicates should be on first submission only and not enforced again unless the app category or title has a material change.
Interesting they mentioned Jupyter Notebooks but not NBDime https://github.com/jupyter/nbdime which is a Jupyter plugin specifically to address this problem. Without it, diffing notebooks is not feasible.
Who gets to define misinformation?

The lab leak theory was misinformation at one point. Wearing masks was misinformation at one point.

The problem with censorship is that no man is fit to play the censor.

> Distribution of hacked materials: Content that contains hacked info, the disclosure of which may interfere with democratic processes.

Clearly if you're a candidate and know a report is going to come out showing some questionable conduct you need only anonymously publish it yourself as the result of a purported "hack", and youtube will apparently suppress it.

Multiple generations of Americans worked tirelessly to create a neigh absolute immunity for the press and, subsequently, internet platforms to publish material, even illegally obtained, that shines light on our government and our politicians. A right not exercised is a right lost.
It feels like when somebody opens a ( but doesn't close it.
You don't need ONIE, nor any of that "Open" Compute stuff.

Linux has recently got native framework for control of switching chips called "Distributed Switch Architecture." This turns a lot of very cheap hardware with very basic hardware switching chips into high performance routers.
I'd argue that there's far too much documentation for documentation sake... nobody wants to spend valuable time updating a document that nobody looks at.
You don't understand the hatred for Atlassian until you've been around long enough to notice there's a cycle: 1. We hate X. 2. "Here's a lightweight replacement Y for it!" 3. Lightweight replacement Y is forced by the problem space to become as big as what replaced it. 4. We hate Y.

I'd guesstimate the hatred for Atlassian productions is about 75% simply the fact that anything that checks all the boxes necessary to become the enterprise standard will be something that is big and bloated and hated by the users, because Atlassian is merely the latest in a long line of systems hated by people.

Which is not to say anyone should change their mind about the product. Just bear in mind, there isn't anything better that, if it did somehow unseat Atlassian, wouldn't have exactly the same problems in 3-5 years. The problem is the problem space, not the solutions. I mean, sure, I'd like Atlassian to be faster and I suspect there's some room for improvement there, but even if they put a lot of work into it the problems would remain. The problem is that everyone thinks they mean the same thing by issue management, but when you sit down to actually see what that means, it turns out to be the leading bug tracker or wiki means you actually have to be a meta-bug tracker or a meta-wiki, and that's never going to be a great product.
Thanks a lot for your nice words :-).

Yeah, we checked out Spire, and I actually have their hardware at home, too - but I rarely ever use it. Spire's sales were significantly below iZotope's expectations, too. I think it's a great attempt, but IMHO they didn't quite get it right - they focused too much on multitracking and sacrificed basic usability.

We're hoping that we don't make that same mistake, but of course only time will tell. And as always, different people have different needs - maybe Spire fits your workflow much better!

It would be fantastic if you could leave another comment once you tried the app - really looking forward to hearing what you think of it!
It's very weird for a project made to "maximize viewer enjoyment" to not put a space after the prompt. The one saved character on the line is definitely not worth the illegible resulting line: this doesn't maximize my enjoyment at all when viewing the examples.
Agreed on these thoughts on ad-hoc taxonomies. The first Confluence page any team should create is their Taxonomy plan, with what goes where. Additionally, when creating a taxonomy you need to think of the "WHO" are the documents for. Some teams have docs for internal vs external stakeholders. The tone of those docs would be different. (external in this case are still people internal to the company, but on different teams.)
Maybe the system just accepts you'll miss the target 2% of the time for reasons like that. However, the workers don't see that and get stressed (by design). Also, if the actual frequency of these issues is 1.9%, some workers will have bad luck and get penalised (also accepted as part of the design).
What a utopia this movie portrays! Individual cubicles, administrative assistants for senior staff, and the protagonist has only been asked to work over a single weekend.

1000 times this. The investors who own your company care about your well being as much as it affects the attrition stats in a way that matters to the bottom line. I say this as someone who's job is literally to talk to these people about their priorities before they buy a software company.
My main thought reading this as a non-network admin was of Mr Robot, and all the Linux installs on low level hardware used for hacks on that show.

Very interesting read and lots of upside to what is discussed, but the thought of the uncountable, almost invisible operating systems running in a large network give me a odd feeling in the pit of my stomach. So many potential places for malfeasance to hide.
I understood the fuzzy labels to still only refer to a specific probability range, e.g. the meaning of "aggressive but possible" to relate to the likes of your I'm 95 % certain it will be done no later than nine months from now... example. Those labels seemed to at least help explain "this isn't just a high ball figure".

To be honest I still don't really think any of this stuff can be truly verified beyond actually doing it or having a very well understood set of requirements that have been worked against plenty of times before.
Causality is a nonsense:

A previous company I worked for had a team who’s whole job was keeping the kb up to date.

If you wrote an article/page they would schedule a recurring 6 month meeting with you to go over it and confirm it was still accurate and relevant. If you missed the meeting more than once in a row they would archive your doc until it could be reviewed. You also had to identify a secondary domain expert for that article who could step in if you left the company. The process worked pretty well.

As others pointed out here, it’s a process issue that is hard to solve with tech.

The people at the top need to buy into the idea that a good kb makes everything run smoother and be willing to pay for it (ie hire more heads just for kb maintenance).
Despite all of the announced 'bans', how much underground Crypto mining is still occurring in China? Even at the level of small rigs in apartments running 24/7?

If its still a sizeable level, could China use its international influence to push further crypto bans overseas, in order to depress prices and make PoW mining less attractive, and thus save electricity?
> Another missing element is that SQLite's support for large blobs is via linked lists of pages.

This surprised me and you were correct, there is no guarantee that related payload overflow pages are consecutively ordered. I thought extents can be implemented with those pages but it would be pretty bad for random access as is. In fact one of the reasons I thought SQLite can function as a file system was a built-in support of random-accessible BLOBs, and some more research revealed that the support was based on the fact that SQLite loads the entire BLOB into memory. Oops.
This is really only true of it's coming from the very top of the food chain. Sales is obviously an important part of the revenue stream, but it's not the only part and it doesn't automatically trump all other concerns. For example, it's not useful to sell a product that doesn't work, will cause huge customer churn and will destroy the company's reputation. If you're a shareholder or care about the longevity of your job, it's important to push back on wasteful behavior.
