I'm fundamentally opposed to outsourcing myself or other engineers either now or in the future either to AI or to no-code tools. I don't like the way this industry treats their employees in general nor am I very fond of the idea of using engineers to create a tool to make them obsolate. No thanks.
HR5874 isn't about restoring software patents. It's about undoing every single element of patent reform this century, whether it be the America Invents Act (that normalizes US patent law to bring it in line with the entire rest of the world), or any SCOTUS ruling to the contrary.

As one of the commentators on the linked blog points out, it's actually surprising that it's not overruling TC Heartland (which is the case that says, no, you can't bring every patent case in ED Texas because you like the judge there) as well. Every other notable hitter--and not just the subject matter of Alice or Bilski, but things like Oil States that upheld IPR or Impression v Lexmark that held that resales don't violate patents--are also expressly overturned.

This isn't the first time such a bill has been introduced in Congress (and it likely won't be the last), but this is going to go absolutely nowhere.
Even if Vercel came out and said “we’ve bought Rich Harris’s voice, every choice will be controlled by us” (which they haven’t!) they still wouldn’t control the project because Rich isn’t a BDFL.

The title makes it seem like HTTP(S) links are Edge only, which is probably why people are reacting the way they are.

At the same time, If I said I want all web links opened in Firefox and an MS app is forcing me to use Edge, well that's pretty shitty.

I've had no issues using Windows since the XP days they made some missteps but it did what I wanted. Windows 11 is forcing me off Windows. I'm slowing switching to Linux Full time.

In my brain it is a form of entertainment that has nothing to do with elevating a scenario built around scarcity or effort or policing sexuality.

For me, the enthusiasm of a "yes" is the response of them having a streaming service. I don't really think further than that or extrapolate what specific actions are going to happen there. I do hope to see them naked whether they sent me something on their streamer-persona's snapchat or if I switched to a courtship game or if I ever approached them at all! But if that's not possible then that's fine, and also normal, not really sure why/if that needed to be said. How people look is a factor in whether an interaction is attempted, not really news.

I think it is unnecessary to segregate this, and that's my view of almost all sex work. Earn.com which was acquired, was all about paying to reach VC's inboxes and it worked and many VCs participated in it. In your analogy, it would mean less to reach them due to paying for the campaign to get their attention. Its just not a standard that was really brought up. Do I really need to point out the one-to-one relation between how erotic performer's services work on streaming sites?

More likely you got options, and they are taxed as income at a liquidity event (acquisition, IPO)... unless you were confident enough in the startup to execute those options & immediately pay the resulting taxes out of pocket. And you have to have that confidence before the valuation is too high & the taxes are unaffordable to absorb.
How about the Brenner Base Tunnel

On the positive side, the Austrians are pressing ahead with expanding the rail lines through Tyrol towards Germany:

I don’t read it as anti-Apple, maybe I don’t have that annoyance sensor. If you remember the phrase “killer app”, the OG killer app was Visicalc.

Apple didn’t make the software that made it so successful. Not a problem, we all need friends.
MS has had "software protection" systems, probably three different schemes by now, that check for this. It's more to prevent malware but also means it's incredibly difficult to patch out MS-approved malware without running afoul of the system integrity checks.

Most links in Windows are hard-coded to open Edge specifically instead of respecting the user's default browser preferences. For example, if you search from the Start menu it always opens in Edge with Bing. If you click a link from an email in the Mail app, it always opens in Edge. If you click a link anywhere in the built-in documentation, it always opens in Edge.

I'm sure you can image why this is annoying and user-hostile. You've just clicked on an ordinary-looking link, but instead of instantly opening a new tab in your favorite browser you have to wait for a new browser to load and dismiss the "do you want to set Edge as your default browser?" prompt, after which you get your page in a browser you never use with none of your extensions/settings/privacy features.

If you travel often, it makes sense to invest in fast track. You skip all the security theatre. Also, for example TGV requires you to be at the check in 20 minutes before. You’re a bit late, you’re screwed. Even if the train hasn’t arrived yet.

You could come at this from a save the earth perspective though it's actually kind of possible if you establish your recycling depos in their respective countries. The arcade machine part does not scale that is more to get a proof of concept off the ground you then expand into a limited product line, arcade for gaming, computers for gaming I guess and business, cell phones, you could do audio and other tec but you make a solid product that last a long long time and only requires you replace parts of the system which is where you could make money. Think about if there is heaps and heaps of tec that gets dumped into land full as waste you are taking that waste and using parts to make a renew able tec line that does not break down. The reason why it's not done now is that people want to make money so maybe you rent this or something but it will and would work. It could majorly cut down on consumption the game aspect is just to prove it works.

Cause they somehow like that "new Microsoft" that doesn't exist.

In some cases, you find it highly objectionable, but because large corporate entities are authoritarian in nature and you don't want to risk getting fired, you complain but ultimately get the job done anyways. You don't get over it and keep it in a long list of things you find questionable before you decide it's time to change teams or companies. The "PM" in this equation likely feels the same as you, because no single PM at a large company like this has the authority to make decisions like this nor tell their dev team what to do (it's an influence role, not an authority role - authority is for folks with bigger paychecks).

Or you get paid and know about a more complicated/nuanced take that only people on the inside know about, so you do the work and move on because you probably don't care that much.

I must admit, I do like the design, but why don't we get buildings where the crack style extends to the whole structure? I can think of 1000's of artist renders of what the architecture of the future will look like (eg. https://www.yankodesign.com/images/design_news/2020/04/25979...), but I can't think of one building when I've seen it put into practice. I've seen much less feasible designs engineering wise made into reality. Why are these "utopic" buildings left to fiction?

> It was probably someone assigned to "encourage user-retention".

The ticket would certainly not be named "Ignore user's default browser choice", but only an extremely naive developer would believe this is good for their users. A developer that finds this objectionable would ask to be transferred to another team, but most won't.

I'm not saying that developers should refuse the work, just that they're not innocent about what they're doing.
First off, do yourself a favor and avoid snap like plague. It's vendor lock-in and horrible.

I use flatpak precisely as you describe. It's for graphical desktop applications, "apps", basically stuff like Firefox, Libreoffice etc. Sandboxing is cool but I mostly do this because the flatpaks are always up to date with respect to upstream, instead of locked into a particular version like in the system repos. I also recently ran into a situation where a particular application wasn't feasibly packageable by the distribution because of unorthodox dependecy choices (and their own, rather strict rules related to packaging), yet they made a flatpak available.

I also like the fact that the applications and their files are isolated in their respective directories, which makes purging unused stuff easy, as opposed to traditionally packaged software pooping all over my home directory.

Running stuff from the command line is a pain, thus why, at least in my use, it's limited to graphical desktop stuff that I'd anyway run by clicking on an icon.
> a PM gives you the “actively shit on our customers” ticket.

There usually isn't a "make the product worse" ticket. It's often more a matter of not having enough time to do it the interoperable way.

That's not to say "actively shit on our customers" tickets don't exist, just that it happens so often because of far less sinister, far more mundane reasons.
I don't think the teleporter would absorb the momentum though. You'd just fly out of it and smash on the nearest wall.
I knew a team that did 4GL on AS/400s (generating RP4 I think) and they were all about how superior their tool was and how terrible the Java team was in comparison and how they would never be out of a job. Within a couple years none were programmers any more as their tool was abandoned and they had no other programming skill.
You'd need a small town in Texas for this to be effective. Everywhere I've ever lived in Texas had tons of tech jobs available.
In this case, it is a blend of more profitable, less challenging jobs such as brakes and LOF, as well as interesting cases requiring the lead mechanic's renowned diagnostic skills. I have often thought this mechanic should maintain a blog about some of the crazy and perplexing issues he has solved but, he just has no interest in writing them up. Besides, I am not sure he could write them up as some of the leaps in logic he makes are closer to magic than any sort of process.

Also, they have used this era to weed out the pain-in-the-ass customers.

Implicit mapping between SQL to target is great, but how does the SQL author know what SQL to write in the first place?

Sounds like some high level product manager from Edge forced this decision on the Windows team. It makes no sense why they wouldn't respect a user's default settings. People configure a multitude of addons and customizations in their default browser, to completely bypass that seems like a poor customer experience.
That's a bit too much speculation for me. If there was some technical detail that would show exactly that, sure, but in this case it just seems to be a missing option.

A bit like:

- "openInBrowser(url)" (the mistake)

- "openInEdge(url)" (the malice)

- "openInDefaultBrowser(url)" (the one configured by the end-user).

I have no idea what they are doing under the hood, but I'm pretty sure some of it can be easily identified for being a mistake, malice or something else. But because I don't know, and apparently neither do most people here, speculation on the effect being the main intent or a side-effect alone is iffy at best. The functional outcome remains the same of course, and I'd rather start out with calling it a bug than anything else. If Microsoft then comes out calling it "works as intended" then yes, that's just nasty.
> 4. The 3:2 display is awesome for programming and content creation, and I don't know why more devices don't adopt it. My only criticism is that it's not a touch screen but with how modular this laptop is it's only a matter of time before that becomes an option.

Really strongly agree with both points here as a new owner of a framework laptop. My old personal laptop had a 16:9 (not 16:10) screen and wow the difference is so stark in terms of usability for anything that benefits from vertical orientation. Suddenly I wish you could still get 4:3 desktop monitors again. I kinda filled that gap with rotatable 16x10 monitors but honestly I just kind of miss 4:3.

The 16x9 laptop is still nice for watching videos though.
I'd like to hear more. What were your conclusions? I'm particularly interested in it compared to Vue.

More likely, they're stopping on the first space OR colon to parse the header name since "Content-Length : 0" is valid.

Personally, if I were writing a HTTP request parser while being lazy about enforcing spec, I'd split ONLY on the colon, then just strip the white space on either side of both the header name and value. In Python:

header, value = line.split(':', maxsplit=1)
header = header.strip().lower()
value = value.strip()

After that, `header` should ALWAYS be checked via equality, and never `.startswith(...)`.
Cute that a post about writing things concisely is so short, but it's self defeating. The post just states "Write because it's good for you" then links out to a half dozen articles to read which contains the actual content.

Maybe the thesis should be "Write 5x more by not writing anything and just compiling the work others have done"
That was already the case -- the new behaviour being claimed here is that they have disabled previously known methods to intercept the Edge-specific calls.

It should also be noted that almost every element of the windows UI which launches a browser does it using the Edge-specific scheme, so there is a substantial need to do this kind of interception if you are not an Edge user.
The IIHS is always ahead of the curve. They're sponsored by insurance companies, so they have a huge incentive to reduce injuries. (It's amazing what can be done when billionaires have their incentives align with a greater good)

But, they have no power to regulate. Vehicles that do poorly under IIHS testing are completely legal, they simply get named-and-shamed. Sometimes I wonder how lax NHTSA testing would be if it weren't for the comparison point which is the IIHS.
One example for me is Linux support in the GPU wars. Nvidia has been very hostile to Linux compared to AMD, so philosophically (for now), I’ll prefer AMD for my platform despite Nvidia offering a better GPU. Not as big a deal with Intel, but I like encouraging what I see as good behavior. AMD market share isn’t anywhere near Intel either, so I also like putting my money on the “underdog” to keep the competition going.
