Similar experience. I moved a domain of mine to O365 from GSuite (Google Workspace) about 2 years ago. I am currently in the process of migrating BACK to Google Workspace.

Generally unhappy with O365 email over the last 2 years. Few of my complaints are: Subpar experience on Outlook for Android. (Gmail is so darn good). Just ready for my Gmail experience again. Overall site management using Microsoft's web dashboard for domain, permissions, spam, 2FA, is %×•@#$ NOT GOOD! I have read so many outdated, no-longer-valid support docs that I'm simply done. "Cloud" products like this have a hell of a time keeping their docs up to date and relevant. Google isn't immune here. But for whatever reason I have far less problems with several other domains I manage that are pure Google Workspace, er.... GSuite....er Gotigle Apps. Y'all get my drift.
You failed to mention that if you haven't managed to complete this successfully(google also has a similar form: https://postmaster.google.com), google will just mark it as SPAM, but outlook will *silently* drop your mails.
That's because people, including me when I started programming, confuse alpha with coverage. Most people use the alpha value for coverage. Most of the time it doesn't really matter visually but there some edge cases where it does matter.

The best docs I could find in a short amount of time, are those from anti-grain[1] where the author describes it as a "second alpha channel.

I'm couching a problem in a capitalist frame, I made no assertion that we live in a perfectly capitalist economy. The irony is that China understands the economic value of quality of life better than the US, with the latter making a lot of fuss about the primacy of economy in decision making.
I feel like a broken record for the amount of comments I've posted related to Deming and lean product development these past few days, but as Taiichi Ohno says, the biggest waste is overproduction.

A lot of the things we build into our software is complexity nobody really needs. One way of managing it is by never making it in the first place. This takes at least two things:

- Thorough discussion with the customer about what problem they really are trying to solve. They will come to you with what they think is the solution. That way leads unnecessary complexity.

- Rough economical analysis of choices. Often we do things because that's what one ought to do. Make a quick napkin calculations. A lot of the things one ought to do are not actually necessary.

There are way too many books to recommend here, but perhaps some of the most relevant are

- Deming's The New Economics, and Out of the Crisis,

- Reinertsen's Principles of Product Development Flow,

- Ward's Lean Product and Process Development.
I've caught a few of these flights last year going Singapore to Europe. Never more than ten passengers on a 787, I guess because of regulations they still need full flight crew, so often there's more staff than pax.

It's such a pleasurable experience all round, shame they couldn't remove a bunch of seats in one area for some walking/stretching space.
I'm old enough to remember the Dixie Chicks being cancelled by conservertives for daring to question certain foreign policies concerning the middle east. Ofcourse, it wasn't called "Cancel Culture" then, it was good ol' fashioned patriotic boycott to get them off the airwaves.

The use of language in culture wars are fascinating, I really wish I studied deeply enough in the humanities to really grok it. To my laymen eyes, there are a lot of evolving shibboleths[1], and verbal (or mental) gymnastics to variably identify an activity subjectively based on where on the political spectrum the perpetrator (or poor victim). People are really insist the other side is completely unreasonable, and is to blame for engaging in the culture war.

I...think you just described society
Dear lord … a while ago I had to integrate with a client database that had a required “end date” for indefinite events. They filled the value with the maximum year - December 31, 9999.

Our systems initially supported this. But we found an extremely popular and widely used date parsing library has terrible bug. For some reason (if forgot what) as part of its logic it checks something about the date after the date it’s parsing.

So for users of this extremely popular library the 9999 crisis will actually happen a day early.

I kept trying to alter the non responsive maintainers that there was going to be a major crisis with their product in about 7000.

They never got back to me.
The ad and pitch on the website was typical for a European higher-end brand that has local history but not the name recognition to really qualify internationally as luxury. They told a credible story of the artisanal tradition and so on. I knew already Portugal had a good reputation for leather products. The risk of buying a pair and maybe having to return it didn’t seem high.

I think I was living in London at the time (pre-Brexit). There’s obviously no shortage of nice shoes in England, but I was new there, so finding a physical store I like was a lot more work.

> China understands the economic value of quality of life better than the US

I don’t get what you mean, quality of life can be really low in China (eg no indoor heat in southern China in the winter mean the girls selling snacks at the train station are wearing jackets and gloves while still freezing), but people put up with it.
Isn't this is a rather common configuration for a distributed DB? Given one node dies before flush, you trust that the remaining nodes in the system will not die at the same time and live long enough to flush to their respective disks. It's a gamble yes, but depending on your environment the risk can be smaller than the benefits. For a blockchain ledger, you might want to choose the safer corner of CAP in that equation.
"To keep yourself from developing a serious case of it, vaccinations need to be periodic"

I had it and recovered. I have blood test results and Dr. letter to prove it.

The CDC says actual measured outcomes show I am in the category of persons who do better than the jabbed.

"By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone."

Your attempt to tell me to get yearly jabs is similar to what upsets the Canadian protestors. Please stop with the coercion and mandates.
Mars has some atmosphere, smaller temperature swings, higher gravity, ability to synthesize methane, and a 24 hour day night cycle. The moon has none of those, especially the 1 month day night cycle. It’s not much more delta v to get to Mars so there’s really little reason to waste time w the moon.

No, the gtube string (GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL) is a special string made for testing anti spam systems (there is another for antivirus systems). That's the only part of the block of text that is going to work 100%. The rest looks like filler.

Anyway, you cannot (shouldn't) train a system to accept the gtube string).
So we're assuming reflection as well as transmission?

If we're just talking transmission they would both be the same, ie transmitting all red photons and 50% of the green and blue ones while the other filter transmits all blue photons and 50% of the red/green ones. Either stack has 50% red values, 50% blue values and 25% green right?

While it is common to casually use the lat/lon order, the lon/lat order was decided on as a matter of international treaty via ISO. This was inconsistent a long time ago even in ISO standards, but was resolved to the lon/lat format many years ago, is required for government systems, and is essentially settled. People may not like it but that is arguing with the weather. Everything is lon/lat from here on out and all new systems are designed this way.

For people that actually work in geospatial, there is no advantage to the lat/lon order and the lon/lat order has been the standard for decades already. Arguing about the order of polar coordinates is fighting a battle that was literally settled decades ago.

This is... remarkable. Many cryptocurrency advocates have promoted bitcoin by making exaggerated claims regarding fiat currency's centralized control and lack of privacy. Now bitcoin itself exhibits the very characteristics that were often claimed about fiat currency, except it's not an exaggeration.

That error page isn't making anyone question their perception or reality. And I'm pretty sure your average user associates browser error pages with problems "on their end", not site-specific ones.
The page is blaming the user for something that's not their fault.
Just FYI the zero-padded date thing is incredibly distracting and weird. (Yes I know there’s some “foundation” pushing this, but still).
I use Bandcamp every opportunity I have, but a good chunk of artists I listen to don't upload their music there.
Thank you for bearing with me. I guess I misunderstood your initial response. I thought you were arguing that fragmentation couldn't happen because services like Spotify have exclusivity contracts, not that it already happened!

Sure things are fragmented today, but that doesn't mean it cant be much worse. Today, most of the big catalogs have a ton of overlap. Exclusivity isn't the norm. If artists and services start drawing up into political camps, this overlap could significantly decrease.
I started reading this with no bias, as I do not know the authors nor their past works, but roughly 1/4 into it I noticed that something was off.

I think this is the passage that made me stop reading with interest:

> Later exploration of several comets, using a variety of space technologies, has strengthened the case for microbial life in comets (and in carbonaceous chondrite residues) but this is not readily admitted in conservative astronomical and meteoritic circles.

"strengthening" the case? "admitting"? Someone is trying to convince the reader here not with evidence but rethorics.
Seriously, the magic of error correction is hardly appreciated or noted by younger hackers these days.

I had one important project (I don‘t remember anymore which one it was), so I put it on THREE 3,5‘‘ disks, one after each other.

My gripe is that it doesn't work offline, so you can't expect to sync emails once and read them later.
In an advanced economy you need skilled workers. Skilled work needs a healthy population, enabled and motivated to learn the skills necessary. The US can try to compete on low-skilled manufacturing jobs, but the high dollar gets in the way of that.

Whether there's a net increase in GDP or government revenue, I'm not qualified to even guess, but if I'm running a business and I can benefit from human resources on-site, or need them to have deep cultural knowledge to fulfil my business needs, a local talent pool increases competition, reduces my expenses, and ensures timely and potentially revenue-generating improvements to my enterprise.
iOS auto incorrect. It’s just ducking awful.
Anything blockchain-based requires every user not only to trust, that their identity is private, but that it will remain so indefinitely. With all the nodes having access to all the data, you must assume nobody is ever going to find a way to use the data against you. Which in the modern world requires extraordinary optimism.

And it looks like indeed, like proj, pyproj updated the major version number when this happened at least. Still think the API should have changed...

edit: it does seem like PROJ DID introduce a new header file with a new API[0] and eventually deprecated the older one sometime later, handling the transition much more gracefully. I guess pyproj didn't do the same thing?

Blockfi isn't defi. If they had used defi, like aave, they would have avoided this whole situation.
Hah. It's pretty awesome to hear that from a Firefox dev.
I look back at it and wonder... what was the point? I think I was just having fun. I even went as far as having two "patches", where the first one made the software work but without the second one, it would send your VM and browser into a death loop after about 30 seconds. It was just the right amount of time to cause an SWF decompiler on Windows to crash the whole system. Anyone who wanted it badly enough would have gotten it, and I doubt anyone ever put in the effort to hit that spiral, so I must have just been entertaining myself ;)
Right, but OP’s analogy was false.
> Do you think Nike would be happy if their vendor just said, “yeah everything drives positive lift”.

It's fairly known in the industry (worked in a range of different ad-tech/marketing companies for around a decade), that more or less this is what makes Nike happy.

> They are employed by neutral third parties who make money regardless of the outcome of the study.

This is a bit naive. Same is true for home appraisers, funny how it always works out that the house appraised for just over what you offered (even in insane markets).

This issue is you might get paid this time for being honest, but you won't get paid again.

> completed by literal data scientists and statisticians.

I'm both of these. Saying that "adtech is bullshit" is absolutely too reductionist but you are wildly too naive about the reality of the industry.

Take A/B testing as an example. I've helped people run A/B tests for many years. I establish rigorous testing setups, make sure people understand confidence in the results, distribution of possible outcomes, etc. I'm honest in my work and so are the people running the tests.

But the truth is that A/B test on customer populations are not controlled experiments. One thing that literally no one in the industry does is go back and review the results of the past years A/B tests. The reason why? People don't really want to know. However, it's obvious these results can't be quite right because teams will run 10 A/B tests in a year, each claiming a 5% improvement in conversion, but clearly you don't see this cumulative impact of a >60% increase in conversion over time.

No one want to know this though, because knowing this helps nobody. Nobody is outright lying, but nobody wants to ask. The one time I worked outside of adtech but saw a problem where model results were almost entirely random noise I got in huge trouble for pointing this out.

Same is true across the board in the adtech world.

Someone else recommended "Subprime Attention Crisis by Tim Hwang" and I very strongly recommend that you read this. It's very well researched and was so inline with my experience that I found it so obvious as to almost be dull.
Software complexity is often made worse by organisational complexity. Someone put it as "make sure people do complex jobs in simple organisations rather than the other way around.

David Marquet's books have been surprisingly helpful to me in shaping simpler organisations, starting, of course, with Turn the Ship Around.
Slightly different comment, no?
I don’t believe that Evans was arguing for pulling every concern in the wider system into a single model (the last third of the book gives techniques for overall system architecture). Different service lines, or products, would surely belong in distinct bounded contexts in DDD.

> keeping the business logic as far in user configuration land as possible

This sounds dreadfully difficult to build and test. The kind of business rules engine that you’re describing is more likely to be overpriced and buggy than a simpler well-modeled set of core domain classes imo.

Not every piece of software should be excel.

Roseceans agreed, and sent a telegram back. But the telegram never made it.

Given that parents getting into a shouting match with a particularly dense school board functionary is defined as "terrorism" now I think this can only lead to the terrorism accusation losing its sting. If every petty political squabble is terrorism, then nothing is terrorism.

> School administrators are by and large bureaucratic idiots

I think that the size and uselessness of the para-ecudational layer should not be underestimated. The ministry, committees, the commercial education ecosystem; they have been extremely successful in absorbing whatever money we have been trying to poor in. It's like a ship with two seamen and a council of 5 captains and 20 contractors to keep the messhall's leisure PC running in exchange for 80% of personell expenditures.

It's ridiculous. And if that was not enough, some people believe even more privatisation is the solution.

Having moved from external consult to in house dev this is so true. Most of our production systems are just spreadsheets that get emailed on schedule or trigger.

We have no web stack, no authentication required. No complex UI or UX.

It's so simple, our production manager and I sat down and came up with the system. It works very well and took a few weeks to get up and running. It would have taken months to solve the same problems with a typical web based interactive system. It's also less work and upskilling for users.
