This gives me the same vibe as "Why get rid of the DVD drive?".

I've used ligatures now for several years (with JetBrains Mono in particular for some time). I've done lots of pair programming and a common immediate reaction is "How can I get those too?! It makes it so nice to read and understand".

Instead of throwing them out because of some edge cases, why not improve the software for the edge cases?

> Customs & Border Protection should have absolutely no jurisdiction over what an item is used for once it enters the country.

I mean, that's the whole point of the import tariff law, so if the CBP has jurisdiction to enforce tariff law, surely how the item is used (or at least how the item is intended to be used or how the item can reasonably be expected to be used) is the primary factor to consider.
I concur, Worsley’s account of the voyage is excellent and highly worth reading.
If an org has that kind of risk, shouldn't they be paying for their OS?
MinIO can be backed by S3. I think the largest compelling point more for all in one solutions that want to support on-premise data storage in addition various cloud storages. I think I've only interacted with it directly through thanos/prometheus though...
I unsubbed from all default subs except “world news” (which I don’t comment in) and basically only hang out on my niche hobby/professional subs now. If you curate it and cut out the really toxic, highly-attractive subs that really pull you in, it’s a way better experience. Took me almost 10 years recognize the issue but I’m glad I did.
“ Or there’s another resident who was one of 75 people that were given a ticket for simply using the left lane on the interstate”

Hell yes, stay out of the left lane unless you are passing. Everything else is a bit much though.

The merger of a long-standing newspaper and a public media organisation under a no-cash deal ... which has been under consideration since September ... points to both peril (a free newspaper is a gift which requires long and careful consideration) and promise (non-profit news organisations) as the future of journalism.

There are numerous factors of concern, from workers to audience to paywalls. Among the more interesting to me is that as a not-for-profit organisation, the Sun Times will no longer be able to endorse candidates for political office.
I don't trust any software involved in safety critical applications that can be updated after manufacture.

To clarify, I find that engineers rely too heavily to let their users find bugs in the field and most engineers tend to think "oh, I'm sure it isn't a big deal, and if it is we can just update the firmware/software".
There's no reason you cannot construct a token that can be frozen and reversed - USDT (other issues as side) being an example.
Accounts as we know them don't have to be at the level of public address-private key but rather a smart contract as seen by Loopring.

For now it may be conservative congresspeople but once a Universal Healthcare proposal starts gaining traction all the common support for the initiative will likely shatter. People will disagree on what the intended outcomes are (are they economic, empathy based, or both?), the implementation details, how to pay for it, etc...
I wander if rust (or any other memory safe system language in the future) could have avoided this exploit. If not, what could we do to avoid such exploits?
But humans aren't rational, we decide based on emotions most of the time. Alcohol and coffee have rituals you've been familiar with since childhood. Society says it's ok so you feel ok about it.

Also maybe you prefer one of the highs over the other? I don't drink alcohol before doing sports or going to work, but I might have a coffee.

Granted weed is a depressant like alcohol. But maybe the high is not as enjoyable for you. Maybe you don't find the relaxation after work that you expect from the scotch.
I don’t know about this guy but I think it should be required that if one of these “leaders” writes about “leadership” to also hear from the people they are leading. I have been in several presentations where some manager would brag about their leadership secrets where I knew that reality was completely different.

Seems to me that “leadership” is full of self promoters and it doesn’t really matter if their stuff actually works as long it’s written nicely.

Ah, ok I didn't realize you could use it as a wrapper around S3. That makes a lot of sense
How long does the rule apply for? If someone removes seats from their van, is that tax evasion? What if it's temporary? If an individual can do it, why not Ford?

The problem I have here is how easy it is to avoid the tax. CBP shouldn't have any jurisdiction over car modifications and repairs; that responsibility falls to different agencies.
This is not evidence that land value taxes were commonly used historically and something changed to make that no longer the case. They were never common, outside of as a component of ordinary property tax which is still present.

But also, the way to avoid land value taxes is to build tall buildings on a small amount of land. Which is kind of the point -- an incentive to make more efficient use of scarce land. But then the guy who builds a skyscraper in a small town is paying the same amount of tax as the single family home next to it.

I'm still not sure what the Georgist solution to that is supposed to be. Like, alright, if you cover this town of 100,000 in single family homes you have enough housing for everyone, but with LVT there is a large tax incentive to replace 20 homes with a single building with 20 condo units in it. This continues until local rents fall to the level that they can't recover the cost of constructing more tall buildings, i.e. land values crash.

By then the town is 5-10% 20-unit buildings and the rest abandoned lots. Because the local demand for real estate square footage is completely satisfied so there is zero profit in building any more buildings there, but you've still only used 10% of the land. No one can make money by building more buildings on the other lots (construction cost exceeds collectable rents), but if they still have to pay a non-zero amount of LVT, that makes the lot have a negative value. Which implies that the end result is a land value of zero and therefore LVT revenue of zero.

That could still be worth doing -- it would eliminate rents attributable to land value -- but how would it generate any revenue? (And if the answer is "use zoning to prohibit construction of tall buildings" then you're just taxing the poor by making housing artificially scarce.)

Thanks for the link. But I think it is a bit unfair. Madonna is trying to sing while dancing. How can anyone have breath control while panting? How can anyone hold a note while bouncing up and down? Music videos where the singer is singing and dancing are all lip synced. They often even lip sync their concerts.

(How do I know they lip sync them? Because their "live" singing exactly matches the radio cut of their song! Nobody ever sings a song exactly the same way twice.)

Secondly, Madonna's tone still comes through as great. Breath control comes with training and practice, but you can't fix anyone who doesn't have great tone.
PinePhone does nothing. The different software stacks are a different story. You can several different phone software stacks on the phone, one is Purism's and so of course it does, but I'm not sure about the other choices.
What do you think about “asks”?
So basically just murder and criminal sexual conduct? That seems like a very short and reasonable list considering that damn near everything can be a felony if the prosecutor wants it to be.

Edit: And I would like to point out that nowhere did I say I agreed with or endorsed their enumeration of what sort of sexual conduct isn't ok.
Yes Hello
Crypto bros versus banks that have been doing this for a 100 years.
It is a total scam - there's no such address in 10006. Anyone who is a CEO is not going to have an address of the office written incorrectly. The scammer(s) have not spent any time in NY hence they do not know that New York, NY is Manhattan but Brooklyn, NY is Brooklyn even though both are in New York City, NY

What is mind boggling in that some idiots at 76ers and NBA got swindled by clearly a non-existent entity.
Currently it may be overloaded, I tried a few times and his head just keeps spinning for a long time without anything happening.
Agree with this 100%. I now make it a point to avoid any companies where tech is an unrespected cost center, which unfortunately does rule out the overwhelming majority of companies out there.

That said, even companies where SWEs and tech are the profit center are certainly capable of laying you off, so profit vs cost center isn't really any insurance to avoid that sort of fate. Even at the banks I've worked at the traders (profit center) would face the axe before us lowly peasants in the tech departments.

Rather, it's more an issue of respect...and relative compensation.
> Second — this is another “secret” that I think covid made less of a secret — the main function of most lower level classes beyond basic literacy and numeracy in elementary school is state-supported child care.

I view this as a function of teacher quality and training, basically. My intuitive understanding is that the slowest non-special ed classes are not places that the "best", most effective teachers want to be involved with. So the incentives I pointed to in my previous comment are fully at work, and all the more so if you make the tracking more fine grained. Special ed actually helps by bringing better-trained (and more highly-paid) teachers into the picture in a way that's institutionally provided for.

You're right that a more vocational curriculum would also help some students, but that's hard to implement for the reasons you point out, and still doesn't address the underlying issues wrt. more "academic" subjects, which tend to suffer.
I don't see Fastmail on your roadmap. Do you intend to eventually support Fastmail?

I have long thought that safety related fines should go to cover people harmed by those accidents. Hit by running a red light, receive some compensation from the red light ticket fund.
I can see this being useful, but I'm not looking forward to the list of command line options being even longer. The output of "curl --help" on my system is already 212 lines long.

I wish the curl command was split such that different protocols had different commands. I REALLY don't want to see a list of FTP specific command line options whenever I'm just trying to look up a lesser-used HTTP option.

That said, this is really a minor gripe compared to just how useful curl has been for me over the years.
> No, they didn't - you do not need (or should) boil the water. If you did boil it, you would then need to let it cool down before adding the yeast. Home-brew kits suggest using a fairly small amount of hot water to disolve the malt extract, and to get it up to fermentation temperature.

Boiling is a pretty important step in brewing, both in the home and in the commercial brewery. Yes you could technically make beer without boiling it, but that is not the norm. Boiling is used not only for sanitation, but also to allow the hop oils to isomerize and become soluble in the wort, as well as reduce the wort volume to make the wort more concentrated, since the sparging step produces a lot of diluted wort (when using grains rather than extract). Wort in a can (malt extract) means you may not be concerned with concentrating the wort since you could control that, but you still generally want to isomerize the hop oils.

Your point about needing to wait for the wort to cool is correct, but that's precisely what brewers do.. they cool the wort until it gets to yeast 'pitching' temperature
Good points, this makes a lot of sense. I have been doing cloud stuff so long I forgot many companies are leery of it (some justifiably, some not, but as a developer you have to work with the constraints)
Farewell, Octospace
The article (almost certainly inaccurately) portrays this as the police are heavily victimizing citizens of their own town. But in actual small towns, this strategy tends to only work when the police are harming only out-of-towners that are passing through. If you unfairly fine 600 people in an area with a population of 1200...anyone who had the power to prevent this will get voted out in the next election.

Jalopnik appears to have intentionally played fast and loose with language to give the wrong impression here. Example: "Or there’s [link]another resident[/link] who was one of 75 people that were given a ticket for simply using the left lane on the interstate. " That link to 'another resident' takes you to an article about Ramon Perez[0] where he's described as a "Chelsea business owner". Chelsea is 34 miles away from Brookside. Ramon is certainly a "resident" of....somewhere....but probably not Brookside.

Most likely, the police know many of the in-town vehicles and avoid pulling them over. When they do, they probably see the local address on the drivers license and let people go with a warning.

The point I'm making is that if this were as Jalopnik presents it, there is an existing remedy: the townspeople can vote out the mayor, then the new mayor would reform the 8-person police department. Instead, the people being victimized have no representation in the government that is victimizing them, so people are seeking alternative remedies (federal involvement, etc). This also probably applies when a smaller portion of a population is victimized by its government e.g. 80% of citizens unaffected, 20% experience problems.

Whats interesting about the 80/20 rule is that while classically in the US we think about racial/age/wealth divides, it also pops up in ways that aren't in people's top-3 intuition: using rarely-used government services.

- Building a house and victimized by zoning commission? 95% of the town doesn't identify with your experience and won't vote for change.

- Running a business and victimized by licensing commission? 95% of the town doesn't identify with your experience and won't vote for change.

- Can't get an obscure department to return your calls? 95% of the town doesn't identify with your experience and won't vote for change.

I see a bit of a parallel here to accessibility for disabled people. It turns out that when we build in accessibility into our physical and digital environments, it improves the experience for fully-abled people as well. Poor quality article on that here[1] but there are better ones to find, or you can imagine your own example. The usual top-1 example is closed-captioning ... even if your hearing is fine you've probably found CC/same-language subtitles useful on occasion. Perhaps there may exist a similar effect for creating systems which allow people to escape victimization. If you build it for the "obviously disadvantaged", it will create wide benefits for the "classically advantaged" classes as well.

There's a big difference between a bump to the latest curl version and a jump between two major versions of a language runtime. The Python 2->3 transition took years and many distros kept both versions.

Most dependencies get updated much more quickly. It wouldn't even shock me if this change got picked up mid-cycle.

There's that one song... uh, I think it was made by NWA. It had Eazy-E, MC Ren and Ice Cube. Uhhh... I just can't think of the name. Super relevant though :(
Especially singe HTTPie is a python package. curl exists even in plenty of embedded systems, in many Docker base-images, etc.; but scripting runtimes like Python generally don't.
So they sold $500M in stock of a company that was worth over $50B at its peak last year... Has the underlying business even changed that much? Isn't it mainly just they were priced at a ridiculous multiple and that has corrected? People love the story of falling from grace though.

Well, yes but the issue is that the French never wanted to fight that offensive war. They had not planned for it very well, the British were not gone be there in any numbers. Not even the Royal Airforce.

And if you are gone put up a fight for Eastern Europe, then why do it for Poland, it would have been 100x smarter to it over Czechoslovakia. Germany was in a terrible supply situation at that point.

The Allies had no way to help Poland other then an attack the other side. Unlike Norway where the Allies were perfectly positioned to provide help.

So my opinion is that you either fight over Czechoslovakia or you leave Eastern Europe and focus on keeping Germany out of the North and try to keep Italy from joining them.

The 'alliance' between Germany and the Soviets wouldn't hold very long. In that time you can build up your forces. Eventually Germany would probably force the situation with the Soviets and then the Allies are in control of the global supply routes and can basically decide who wins.

Basically its 3 groups, France/Britain, Germany, Soviet. The one best positioned is the one that stays out of the war when the other two go to the war. The one that stays out can build up its army and industry while the others destroy each other. You end up the winner by default.

The Soviets were that in 1940, but surprisingly for them France collapsed quickly and the German could turn around and attack them. Soviet strategy since 2022 was basically to keep Germany out of the 'capitalist' alliance, only for them to supply Germany with the vary resources they used to build an army to attack them.

World War 2 has so many strange turns.

What I find fascinating is that anyone pays attention to or takes these "fact checkers" seriously.

The only people benefiting from "fact checkers" are the big tech companies that can use them as a shield to hide behind.

> There's also overtones of taxation without representation going on here; individuals can vote, and so they have lower taxes than businesses, which can't vote.

I'm confused about this statement. Businesses are comprised of individuals, and those individuals (if citizens) can vote. So the business has a vote through the voice of its employees and representation in government through the people employees at a business.

Or are you saying the legal fiction of business personhood should give the business a ... vote? That just sounds like business owners (individuals) getting 2 or more votes then...
Thanks for sharing this Lee! Super excited to be launching the Platforms Starter Kit here at Vercel!

Some context: We spent the last 6 months working with folks like Super.so, Typedream.com, Makeswift.com, Hashnode.com, and many more to create a comprehensive template for building multi-tenant applications with custom domains + amazing lighthouse scores.

Here are some of the features of this template:

- Custom domains & subdomains support with Edge Functions & the Vercel domains API (https://domains-api.vercel.app/)

- Static generation with ISR, which allows you to create new content (with custom domains) on demand without needing to redeploy your application.

- Uploading custom thumbnail images with our Cloudinary integration.

- Static tweets – avoid Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) from the native Twitter embed by using our static tweets implementation (https://static-tweets-tailwind.vercel.app/). It supports image, video, gif, poll, retweets, quote retweets, and more.

We’re excited for you to try this template out – let us know what you think!
The article was misleading. I don't think they have examples of members of the electorate getting victimized. I believe it's almost entirely out-of-towners.

Doubt the next election will change anything.
Traffic-related fines should go to a state public transit fund.

I'm not sure that would help. From the picture and some other information, it seems a lot of this is to police Interstate 22, which runs past the town. My guess is the town sees fines from out-of-towners as a source of revenue, one that probably benefits the residents of the town proper.

This isn't a good thing, but it probably needs to be dealt at a state level, by passing laws preventing local officers from enforcing traffic laws on the interstate.
Sharing my personal experience, not speaking for GitLab here:

One thing I did when I was excited about the Developer Evangelist role: I started writing a document in the open, collecting thoughts what I learned, what I want to do, and which ideas could help this drive forward.

I don't really understand. Why, when leaving G suite and going back to a normal account, would you not have access to stuff like Docs, Gmail etc? It's like you're being punished, rather than simply not having extra features.

You're not wrong. But that isn't the only issue. It is also true that if we keep helping people who give nothing back, well just end up with lots of people who give nothing back...

Personally I think the correct line here is personal responsibility and fairness. OAPs have have had huge opportunitied. Until we've given the same to everyone else, they can wait.
