> If you are saying that Bitwarden is worse because it offers a free plan, I disagree.

For the record, I'm not. The overall discussion was that charging for a product was somehow bad. Bitwarden does charge for their product, just at higher tier levels. My bigger point is that you do want a provider that is going to stay solvent so charging money (which Bitwarden also does) is not some perverse way of satisfying customers.
This is quite cool. One suggestion would be to have the pronunciation listed in addition to the kanji and audio (at least when I searched I didn't see it, so the only way to learn to pronounce is to use audio). Do you know of something similar for Chinese by any chance?
I never have cash on me and when I see a QR code I usually give 2-5x more than I would if I was carrying cash on me because it feels weird to "drop in" $1-4 on Venmo and I guilt myself into more.

Anyway, accordion OP you should get a QR code for tips :)
I won't be spending 6$/month, that's for sure. I'd rather go self-hosting.

> but the party that wants voter ID is not trying to do something logical.

If the opposing party wanted to be logical, they would just make IDs free and easy. Especially while they are running the government.
Isn't it a pain to avoid getting your outgoing emails marked as spam, if you aren't using one of the established providers (google, microsoft, fastmail etc)?

Expressiveness is not an unambiguous net good -- more expressiveness is not a priori better. Expressiveness carries costs of comprehension and coherence that need to be appropriately weighed in the contexts where the language will be applied.

Programming languages are not theoretical things. They're concrete, practical tools that _enable_ other stuff. Engineering, not science.
thanks, I will add that!
Power lines are way worse than batteries IMO. You need literally thousands of miles of them for the freight network, which is costly. Much of which is extremely far from population centers (and the ability to repair them). Battery powered freight trains — swapped out at places near cheap energy, like random wind farms and hydro plants — could potentially be a leap in reducing the cost of freight.
Or from free into the Paid ones - either move you pay twice.
No doubt about it; shutting down the nuclear plants ahead of schedule was simply a bad decision, and I don't think anyone is claiming that crypto actually caused the current energy crisis in Europe.

It's a mess caused by a whole lot of varying factors, ranging from public utilities being sold out to international cartels who pocketed the income without investing in grid improvements, to the EV rollouts, to power plants being decomissioned. On top of that, you have Russia flexing their muscles, and if that conflict somehow escalates then Russian gas imports will be weaponized. I suspect the EU would like to be the ones doing the weaponizing and that means reducing the energy usage and fast.

Under those circumstances, proof-of-work crypto is simply low-hanging fruit and banning it will have a relatively large impact with a fairly small number of people being hit. People will prefer that to even higher energy prices, regardless if it's morally right or not.
The basic model is people pay for access to more sounds. For the last few years this bas been separate transactions on the ios app, android app and for the web version. Ideally I'd move to a single subscription-based account that worked across all devices for extra sounds.

Revenue breakdown is roughly equal between android, ios and web, somewhat surprisingly. Android converts worse but has higher user numbers. Web converts much worse, but converts at a higher price (justified by the fact that hosting/maintaining the web stuff take a lot more time and money)
Yes it is, very good book because it goes from the fundamentals to elaborate examples.

Now if you really want to be in research and current attack/defense then you need to do your homework.

But all the foundations in this book will help you have a comprehensive picture of the landscape you're playing in.
I'm not writing a usability thesis here, I'm just using "good" to abbreviate the GP's "an easy to use interface like Mercurial".

I don't think a good UI would be contingent on it surfacing the theory of patches. It needs to surface productive workflows supported by the theory of patches. One way to do that is to teach it; another way to is build something else on top of it.

What I don't want is for pijul to become something I have to integrate into my toolbox just because the next semi-technical founder I sling for found it "easy" three years ago. I already had to deal with git taking over a) because it was fast, b) because github was easy.
It will cost you dozens of hours to move your 10+ years of digital stuff. The big G has done a real pinch here.
Works surprisingly well.
Yeah, just consider all the places where PDFs are still used instead of a more computer-appropriate format (fixed layout is generally not needed, sometimes even not for printing, and is sometimes even an hindrance, and (m)HTML can be used as a standalone file too...)
Pretty satisfied with Postale.io
I recently gave my enterprising son a Tails USB after learning about his school’s ridiculous blocking policies. The only condition was that he should sit with me for a few minutes each evening for me to teach him on a conceptual level how things like an OS, BIOS, Tor, etc work.

You assume it's a place where there are competitive elections which compete on satisfying the voters. In many places, it's not the case - it's either uni-party location where whoever the party appoints wins, or a location where the competition is between different groups of special-interest players that couldn't care less about the voters that do not align with them. If you find yourself in that environment - nobody is trouncing anything, however incompetent the actual management of affairs becomes. People stay in their positions until they either die or decide to move on by their own volition.
I've been working 10+ years in the industry, currently at my fifth company. I've sent out countless resumes, interviewed at countless places. Tiny mom and pop shops, small tech startups, boring cludgy enterprises, all the way up to FAANG.

I have not even once gotten anything more than an automated rejection email from all the companies I've applied to online cold.

The only times I've ever gotten to even speak with a human (leading up to phone screen, interview, etc.) was when a recruiter reached out to me first, whether internal or third party.

Even reaching out to recruiters first on LinkedIn always ends up being ignored.

Yes, I've tweaked and tuned my resume countless times, including having it reviewed by reputable people in the industry.

As far as I'm concerned, applying cold is a straight ticket for my resume into a black hole.

The thread became about whether a good interview question for an engineer was how she thought GPS works. HeyLaughingBoy thinks that the qualities a question like that seeks to explore are irrelevant for a programming job.

I think that it is a good question for any engineer. One explanation for why HeyLaughingBoy might have disagreed was that HeyLaughingBoy was making a distinction between a programmer and an engineer.

I thought that highlighting the distinction between what HeyLaughingBoy wrote (programmer) and the parent (engineer) was a parsimonious way of expressing this.
Zoho offers a "Free Forever Plan" which allows one domain. It's excellent. I actually prefer their web UI to Gmail.
Yeah I get this, I'm a paying customer. Not overly worried, as long as I can export and move on to another service. I used to be a LastPass user until 2yrs ago. I was replying to the comment about LastPass starting to monetize users (e.g limiting the free tier functionality even more).
You can make it free, but you can't make it compulsory. While the constitution allows for a national ID scheme in the sense of making a card and issuing it, actually using it for anything would be near impossible.

Universities license Grammarly primarily for their students, but instructors also can use it as an aid to educate students about the importance of citing sources. The plagiarism checker is a feature of the main product and cannot be licensed without the main product. These are verifiable facts.

In any case, Grammarly does not include a number of plagiarism policy enforcement features intentionally and by design, due to its focus on supporting authors rather than policing. Any insinuation of otherwise is false.

Please stop pretending to know more about the plans and intentions of a company than the company itself and posting falsehoods.

Thanks! Was a fun project to do. I have a bunch of ideas to make it better, but I decided to let it rest for a bit and focus on other stuff. Might put in a bit more effort if it keeps getting the interest it's getting now!
Making the Right Choices for Molten Salt Reactors
My worst developer experience ever was trying to make changes to a custom build system with functions exactly like that. Injector or decorator pattern, or what ever it is called.

I just gave up and introduced globals and used as flags for some places in the code.

To make things even more fun, big parts of the system was written in 2.7 called from runtime generated bat files from 3.4 as remnants of a rewrite and the consultant that had his funding cut.

I'm affected and will move to another provider; does anybody has tips/insights how to export all those Emails and make them searchable - probably offline only, I just still want to be able to access 10+ years of mails. Moving them over to another email provider is not required.
Illegal postings to social media by individuals are a different class of violations, of which I don't see the relevance here.
I'm very confused. Karaoke definitely exists in China. Maybe they go by a different name: KTVs.

Yes. Stand-up comedies are also huge in China:

Oh, you mean like how cryptocurrency was the solution to the (at least perceived) problem of centralized control over the money supply?

Listened to [1]. Never heard that one, but, to me, that seals the deal that he's trolling. The fact that he wouldn't answer the question "are you trolling?" is the important part, IMO.

Patch based version control like Pijul can deal with merges better than snapshot based systems like Git.

E.g. if you merge two branches with the same patches but in different order, but the file contents are the same at the end, git will need to you to manually address the merges for each patch. In a patch based system, there is no conflict if two patches can be reordered with the same final result.

I have not used Pijul a lot, but I did use Darcs before Git. Some of the merges felt like magic.

Git is fine but it can get messy with complex branching and merging strategies. Patch based systems are intended to improve that.
> It’s telling to me that the most-watched shows on these networks are often sitcoms from the 90s and 00s, despite a mountain of newer content going unnoticed.

There was also huge glut of forgettable content back then. Most 90s and 00s shows were low quality crap too. No one is watching those now. The handful of shows that survived and made it onto today’s streaming services are the greatest of that era.
This claim frustrates me in the same way as the claim that 'video games cause violence.'
FiveM is the most popular platform for this type of modding, and is the one I use. nopixel is the most popular server on the platform and usually a good place to start getting a feel for what's possible on a modded GTA server.

If you check out https://nopixel.hasroot.com/, they maintain a list of all Twitch streamers currently streaming nopixel.

nb: I have no affiliation with nopixel.
Thx for this. It's reassuring to hear.
No worries. I had no clue what those were, so I looked it up. I figured others might have a similar knowledge gap, so I left a comment.

Exactly, and this is by design. Here is how it was designed to not work in Florida:

They don't matter, they don't set the rules or the budget.
What conventions are those, besides Hungarian notation (which I don't think I've ever seen in Python)?
The site looks very polished! What did you use to build it?

Also, what did you use to write your book? And how long did it take to write?
I've also been a plain emacs then org-mode note taker for a number of years. I keep a log.org file with dated items containing notes from meetings and major project actions of the day. I generally have my laptop open during meetings making notes in realtime. After a meeting, or whenever, I'll tag things and note any follow ups, TODOs or things to remember.

I have a terrible memory for proper nouns but I can generally remember enough context so that a quick backward search in my notes buffer can get me back to the name of the person, team, customer, project, action item etc that I'm looking for. (EG it probably has this tag, or it came up during my meeting with Riley, or last Monday, or during the sprint planning meeting etc). I'm now fast enough at this that I can often start talking and do a search in time to mention the 'thing' by the time I need to refer to it.

I see this model as somewhat different than the more reflective, bi-directional link driven, PKM tools being discussed here. Its a great feeder into such a system (IMO) where more active curation can take place. Plus even if there's never any curation I still have all my todo's, calendaring etc accessible to org's agenda features!

This is way off, I entered "software engineering" + "amazon" + "Seattle, WA" , it yields 108k, Amazon does lowball people , but this is way too low.
The takeaway from the article is the same either way :)
I'm sorry, but this sounds like some hardcore NXIVM science..
It's lacking good support for mobile, but the mobile app is usable, and in active development. I use it daily with no issues. It mostly just lacks a no-frills setup for syncing notes on multiple devices, but they are developing a subscription for backup/sync hosted by them (I use syncthing, but others have used iCloud and google drive).

To build on the features mentioned there's also:

- A community marketplace for plugins and themes

- Simple customization and extensibility

- A builtin PDF viewer with highlighting and linking
>People thinking this is an absurd amount of money

Yea it is absurd compared to how much money Google and Facebook raised back in the day.
I run Dictanote (https://dictanote.co) and Voice In (https://dictanote.co/voicein/)

Dictanote is a note-taking app with built-in voice-to-text integration. Writers use it to write their books, students use it to take notes, etc. Dictanote automatically syncs your notes to the cloud and makes them available on all your devices.

Voice In is a chrome extension that lets you use dictation to type on any website in Chrome. Use it to type emails in Gmail, enter data into Teladoc, write blogs in WordPress, etc. Think of it like budget Dragon Dictation.

Currently makes about $7000/m net - somewhere between a full-time job and a hobby project. Figuring out how to grow it.
Yes, especially nowadays that sync errors are not commonplace. I use it with Nextcloud. But that still requires you setting up your own thing, which is why people like 1password and bitwarden.
There are three categories of ILS. The most basic one can get you down to 200' AGL and can be flown using only the signals from the localizer and glideslope antennas. These are the 110 and 330 MHz systems, respectively. They are transmitters sited at the airport, and there is receiving equipment in the aircraft. The aircraft uses a standard barometric altimeter. (Technically a "sensitive" altimeter but this distinction is pretty much irrelevant if you're flying anything made after 1930.) No radar altimetry or other special equipment is required; small single-engine planes flown by appropriately rated private pilots fly these all the time. These systems aren't affected by 5G.

The other two categories get you down to 100' AGL and 0' AGL, and these are the ones at issue. These require additional equipment, training, operations manuals, and certification of air crew. They also use the localizer and glideslope, but they require a radar altimeter as well (plus a bunch of other additional equipment in the aircraft, mostly for redundancy, that isn't relevant to this discussion). The radar altimeter is C Band and has no ground components.

The 0' AGL category is full autoland, with the autopilots controlling the aircraft not just all the way down to the ground, but throughout the landing rollout too. I suspect these are the "fly by wire" systems people are referring to, which is a bit of a misnomer if that's the case. "Fly by wire" is when the stick/yoke has no mechanical-hydraulic connection to the flight control surfaces; instead it provides signals to a set of flight computers, which mix those inputs with signals from the aircraft's sensors to produce an output for the actuators. It's possible that the radar altimeters are included in the inputs to the flight computers but I don't know. (I'd be surprised.) Autopilots, on the other hand, are more properly referred to as "automation." These would definitely be affected by problems with the radar altimeters during Cat II & III ILS approaches.

Edit: Some Cat I (basic) ILS approaches are marked "SA" meaning "Special Authorization." These approaches do require radar altimetry, but they're the exception when it comes to Cat I.
I do. Many posts on my blog (https://lmy.medium.com/) are brainchildren from those notes.
Same boat. I set up a Google domain for family many years ago. It's been somewhat convenient when it comes to sharing Google docs with each other and managing their email accounts for them, but that's about it. Everything else has been a continual pain in the ass. So many services are not supported by the custom Google domains or if we're lucky we get access years after they're introduced.

It's always been remarkable to me how badly Google shits on the people that are obviously its biggest boosters. I was personally responsible for multiple paid Google Workspace accounts. I can't imagine it makes financial since for them to axe the grandfathered plans. As a free service, it was bearable that my custom account was a little flaky, but there is no way I'm going to pay for a shittier version of their free product. On top of that, now I have to figure out if it's possible to transfer movie/app purchases. Thanks a fucking ton, Google.
People who own public shares value return on investment, which in today's market is only loosely couple with fundamentals in many cases. It's hard to explain the value of a lot of public tech companies any other way. Rivian (RIVN) is exhibit A.
I've had this for 10+ years. I use it for a family domain. Everyone in the family has a user in the legacy G-suite, but it's really only set up as an email forwarder to their personal gmail account. No one logs in under it.

I'm not going to pay $6/user/mo just to do that, and I don't think any of them (all adults at this point) would either.

If I could get up an email forwarding without needing a paying user, I'd probably move to Business Starter for a user or two. I've not reconfigured any users in there for about 6 years, so I have to look to see if this is possible.
