I think I've been bad at the telling people side of thing.

In part because I've frequently built extremely esoteric projects, the sort of thing that's made even some technically minded people squint and go "huh, what?", real Terry Davis-tier stuff. Although these were mostly to scratch my own itches.

Even now when I'm building stuff that's more widely appreciable and aimed at the enrichment of lives, it still feels unnatural to promote my work.
> To Apple's disadvantage, only touch is a pretty terrible interface for a lot of video game genres, and also mobile pretty quickly became pay to win crapware.

The latter is why I hate gaming on my iPhone. And battery life after a year or two as the apps update to handle the newest and best specs, leaving older phones behind. I do enjoy some of the ports, but I can also buy a lot of those on my Switch anymore, so there's no need.

There are plenty of Karen's not just among the passengers but also among airline staff.

This sounds like "more power to corporations!". It should be decided by a court on an individual basis not by a chuckle-duck CEO based on staff complaints.

It's easy to move from this to "let's share lists across airlines."
And followed by "hire people only if they're not on the list?" All because a flight attendant had a bad day.

Not apologizing for anti-maskers or other ill-behavior. But the way to solve this is in the courts not by privatizing justice.

Yeah, burning books is not the kind of thing you want to be associated with..

The nazis isn't the only ones to have burned books. Communist, etc. the list is long, but never anyone you want to be associated with.

On the flip side, you have to burned an awful lot of books if you want to rid the world of Harry Potter -- let the crazies have their fun

> For example, you wouldn't be able to put a "paste" item in a context menu

Maybe the menu item could be a special window/widget type specific for the "paste" action, controlled by the UI server. An app could be restricted in how many of these it could have and what to display in it.
Ooo, thanks for the tip! I'll try that next time. I don't ever really care about the wifi once in a game.

Simple:

They closed my accounts, which, is something that they can do in the terms and conditions that you agree to when you sign up for an account. They did not disclose to me where the money in my checking account went to, because, according to them, they did not have to.

I realize that 40K isn't a lot to some folks on here, but, it was the money that I had set aside to go and do a fun project after COVID-19 had subsided (here we are, two years later): if the bank does something with your money that it doesn't have to a.) disclose what they did with it, and b.) be judge, jury, and executioner with it, I'm not sure a lot of folks would really appreciate that.

In the end, I was out 40K-ish, a few hours of my time, and a reply from the CFPB that didn't really solve my issue.

I can make more money.

I can't make more time.
Who do I have to bribe to get one of my cringey posts on that? Think of the follower boost!
No one mentioned video games settings?

It's a solved problem there, have profiles : "Low", "Medium", "High", "Ultra High".

They allow for a quick start, then as the user is more aware of the feature, the user can tune the predefined profiles themselves.

You can have independent profiles for each independent feature : input profiles (keyboard/gamepads), graphics profiles, audio profiles, etc

For example, on a Google account, that would be a single drop down list with those options: "Private and no personalized experience" (everything turned off), "Private with personalized experience", "Public"
Rewrites (and other forms of greenfield development) is an important part of my work environment and compensation. Any equation on rewrite vs. maintain that fails to account for what the company and its employers want to be doing will miss an important factor. The ROI of a rewrite isn’t only in new features or performance or subscribers, but in staff retention and overall happiness.
>The reality of rewrites is that they often fail, cost a ridiculous amount of time and effort, don't actually fix the original problem and/or bankrupt the company.

Citation needed.

All of these is based on random internet wisdom (e.g. Joel's condemnation, based on a different era, different delivery model, and different concerns than most of today's startup and enteprrise code), and anecdotal evidence.

Well, talking of anecdotal evidence I've seen lots of succesful rewrites, that made the thing faster and better.

Heck, most/all of the FAANG stacks are rewrites. Twitter, for example, as you've mentioned yourself, is not the same program that needed restart every day to avoid a memory leak back in the 00s - they rewrote it. Reddit is not the original Lisp, and so on.

It's also about the scope. You immediately undestood "let's rewrite the whole company code" and advise "don't rewrite the whole project". Well, who said it's "a" project to begin with?

Companies more often than not have tons of different services, and rewrites can be easily done for such isolated services (e.g. like the dl.google.com rewrite into Go).

Tons of core services of YouTube, CloudFlare, Google, Facebook, and tons of others have been rewriten with languages as Go, Rust, Hack, etc. and they have written about the experience and results as a success. And it's not like survivor bias, e.g. the keep mum about failed cases, because we hear about failures all the time (just not concerning rewritings).
I do love the portability of my Switch, but eve more I do love how casual it is. And how a lot of their games, while they can be played multiplayer, are focused on single player stuff. They've great single player titles, and that keeps me coming back to Nintendo regularly (especially their mobile stuff, I'm pretty sure I've owned at least one iteration of everything since the Gameboy Pocket).
I'd also be mad if Nintendo had turned me into a weeb.
How are these for safety in a crash? I get they are slow, I more mean, what if an SUV mows them down?

That is exactly what is discussed in the article. A way to notify the user if a program request the contents of the clipboard. iOS apperently does just that.

The thing with the clipboard is that the feature is ancient. And back then, most applications were generally very unconcerned with security. So now the genie is out of the bottle, and it's difficult to convince some people that it's a problem.

The article's POC works for X only, which, as far as I understand, doesn't even prevent applications from reading each others keystrokes, much less clipboard. That just wasn't any kind of priority when it was created
Hey @tkkapeed, if you mean stack that testhub supports then there are no limitations. Test-results scraping is done via CLI, Rest interface or CI/CD system plugins(we have only Github Actions for now). Test results and coverage format is jUnit and cobertura, but it's pretty easy to add new parser (just let me know which one is needed)
This actually turned out to be an example of what was discussed... if you google "reptilecandy" (as one word) you get some of these weird search results that do look like they have a category on the shop that has Reptile Candy, with the appropriate Title and search excerpt.

Clicking on one of the sites linked in the search results gives:

https://www.zazzle.com/reptile+candy+favors

And on their shop page it seems they have a section called "Reptile Candy & Favors". But if you click on the category above, Candy & Favors, there is no sub-section list so the sub-section is probably entirely dynamically generated.

So there's something weird going on, I wonder how those dynamic categories end up in googles search excerpts. Can they pay google to inject non-existant pages and sections into the results? (the search result in question was not marked as an Ad though)

Mocking Static Object on Controller Test
Thanks for the comment! Just to clarify, I'm not experiencing lag, but a total disconnect from the internet, evidenced by the physical status light on the ISP-provided modem itself.

I once had a similarly flaky issue about 20 years ago that was exactly like yours: after 3 months of back-and-forth and chewing my way up the chain with a regional ISP, they FINALLY did what they should've done to begin with: check the damn line. And once they did they figured out the problem: copper oxidization. The building's cable lines had been installed something like 30 years prior (which would've been back in the 70's!) and had become badly oxidized over time, even out in the desert where I lived at the time!
I'm very interested in Charter cities/special economic zones/free cities...

I find it interesting how local populations view these as a threat and an attack on them.

Which of course is their right. But these countries like this particular example of Honduras is not doing well on quality of life or economic measures, and a major reason why they cannot attract foreign investment is because of their policies and legal/business frameworks.

Creating such a small exception area with its own independent rules, allows for experiments. Such experiments would allow one to test if a charter city really brings enough inbound capital and business activity into your country to justify the giving up of full control over it.

I mean, is democratic control over every last inch of your country really all that valuable when so much of your population suffers in poverty?

After decades of suffering, maybe it is time to try something new, to do a small scale project and see if there are large economic benefits to enabling free charter cities to operate with a relatively high level of freedom?
Why does everyone get so hung up on the gold standard? What intrinsic value does gold have? 8% mined each year goes to technology and industrial use cases, that has value, and most importantly creates more value. The rest is people saying "Oh shiny", which has a less real connection than a paper note where obligations are traded and met.
I've been considering graphene. I'd love to hear more about any other usability issue or problem you've experienced no matter how small, if you have the time. it's surprisingly difficult to find detailed accounts of this online (even via DDG!) I am aware of graphene's features from the website but can't find a comprehensive list of, for example, which UK banking apps categorically don't work, or which other features or obscure minor setting is missing.

// BUGBUG: there's no screenshot on the main page; in the game there's no "exit" or "main menu", "back" or even "help" button; the whole game screen sometimes moves instead of the shape; sometimes ASD buttons don't work (can't figure out why); default controls feel awkward for me, as a Tetris player, because UP used to be for rotating shapes and DOWN for faster dropping.

I hadn't thought about skewing the ad auctions that way, thanks. I used to get ads for fancy river cruises, Peloton, high-end furniture cookware etc and will try searching for that stuff again, but am guessing the data brokers know I no longer earn an income. Failing that maybe pretending to be looking for payday loans, lottery, coupons might be "lucrative" enough.

Spoken like somebody who hasn't even bothered to scroll through the list of episodes for even a cursory few seconds (which seems to be the norm among JRE critics). Do Snoop Dogg, Jewel, or Jim Gaffigan strike you as "fringe people"? Oliver Stone? Chuck Palhaniuk? Joe has stated ad nauseum that he invites guests that he finds to be interesting people. Why folks continue to try and reduce the breadth of guests to the 10% fringe is beyond me. Some combination of ideology and laziness, if I had to guess.

>So what is the difference between Java and Python to make this weird double standard?

For one, a Python syntax issue in a function that's not called will never emerge even if the source file is read and run.

With Java you wouldn't even get that source to bytecode format to begin with.
It's also commonly known as "spot varnish" or "spot UV coating" and it's a very commonly available finish from offset printers, similar to foil stamping. It's just another layer in the separations.
> Due to the sheer gravity of the task it may not ever become a mainstream OS but because its entire source code is built from scratch and all maintained within the same repo, it's easily able to prototype new OS features you're unlikely to see anywhere else. In that regard it's possibly the easiest codebase to prototype new OS features given you can make changes to any part of the OS & view changes immediately.

Isn't this a bit like what FreeBSD and other similar OSes do? To have a tightly integrated/tested base system with a set of software that it has, while maybe optionally supporting third party ports.

Now, in practice you almost always end up with binary distribution of packages rather than building everything from source due to time/resource constraints, but there is definitely an argument to be made about less fragmentation, like much of the GNU/Linux software has.
Why would it be dead, if you can find the missing episodes on the Open Web?

Also, why would a content service policing its own content be in any way related to "The Open Web"?

Now if the domain providers, ICANN, ISPs, or any such internet utility entities would be actively doing this, that'd be a story about the web openness. Not a large streaming service deciding what to stream. Joe himself sold out to this entity knowing about this precise outcome. This has nothing to do with the web itself.

I like these kinds of reflections, but I always miss the context.

These abstract counsels don't translate well to ability to identify when we actually need to apply them. Providing context, detailing one or more situations when the writer learned these things may contribute to transfer a bit of tacit knowledge.
Good posture is also important. Eg when leaning on the back, the tail bone should be the part that is touching the back of the chair, and the upper part of the back is barely touching, or even away from the chair.

Although I learnt this, it is hard to be always doing that, because bad posture (just causally leaning) feels better at the moment, but in the long run a good posture make you less pain.

Also consider invest in split keyboard and vertical mouse. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and it is a must for me. But the fact that such a set up makes people like me painless means that it is the most neutral position for your hand.

In general, avoid any tensions. In the neck, or foot, etc. when you are deeply focusing on a problem, try from time to time focus on your body instead and feel if there’s any tension. They are the things that’s killing you in the long run.

(Disclaimer: Not a doctor, just a fellow painful person most part of my body.)
I think this somewhat misses the point. The content is clearly there. When it fails to load javascript, instead of leaving the content there, it replaces the content with a message about requiring js

That's not "javascript helping them do it"

2021 LLVM Developers Meeting “Enabling Interactive C++ with Clang”

Currently the best developer experience for hot code reload for C++ is Visual C++ 2022.
Honestly, I don't know who paid for it. I suspect that they're re-using hardware they've had laying around for a decade (maybe longer?), likely originally purchased of ebay from businesses upgrading their servers/racks/appliances and re-selling the old stuff. Whether or not the employer reimburses them for the privilege of their having that for company use, I have no idea and I've never asked. It's not my business.

Besides, it's not like you can't use k8s on some old servers in a home lab for other things, too.
I've always had the opinion that Nintendo consoles were best when paired with something else. For me, I have a powerful gaming PC for all my gaming needs, and the switch is for portable/Nintendo titles.

I usually game at 3440x1440 @ 120hz and I don't find it jarring playing the Switch. I love it for what it is :)
>In my experience people making these "freedom stands" are a statistical minority that in no way influences actual mass markets

>.., favorite content producers moved to another platform,..

This was my grip against youtube, it wasn't merely a principled stand. Numerous independent content creators that I had followed and subscribed to on Youtube have been either censored, demonetized or blocked completely in the last couple of years. It doesn't matter to your bottom line until you censor, discourage, or otherwise drive away enough people where it does start to matter, as Facebook found out a few days ago. Perhaps Youtube/Google is such a monopolistic revenue juggernaut that it can continue to censor, demonetize and ban content creators liberally and without any coherent standards and still churn out a profit. We'll see.

> Now Omicron is dominant and these earlier strains are not relevant anymore.

Yes they are, when explaining why "it's spreading quickly now" does not imply that the vaccines aren't effective.

They are.

>> It is common knowledge by now, January 2022, that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines do not prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

And when you stop spreading misinformation like this, I will stop correcting you.

> Most of Africa is unvaccinated

What relevance does this have to your false claim that the "vaccines do not prevent transmission"?

> > Transmission rates would be a lot higher without vaccines.

> That is not an argument for mandating vaccines

You are right that it is not. Fortunately, that is not the reasoning for vaccine mandates, but just a rebuttal of your misinformation, such as:

> they only prevent the spread of the currently dominant strains with a very low probability or maybe even not at all.

No, they do not prevent spread at "very low" probability. Omicron is just much, much more contagious, so even with pretty high probability of prevention the rate of spread is high. This is why comparing with older variants is helpful with understanding the current situation.

You are also making the mistake of thinking of the effectiveness as a completely independent variable. But it is not. Overall effectiveness rises as the vaccination rates increase, because vaccinated → vaccinated has a lower probability of transmission than vaccinated → unvaccinated or unvaccinated → vaccinated.

And since Omicron is so much more transmissible than Delta, never mind Alpha, getting to a higher vaccination rate is more important than ever in achieving the desired societal outcomes.

Furthermore, every sick person puts a stress on the health system. With Omicron being so incredibly contagious, the risk of overwhelming the health system rises, meaning that other people suffer when you become sick, even if you don't infect anyone.

> Actually I haven't heard of any good argument for that yet.

Then you're not paying attention.

The applications still need to retrieve data for the clipboard to be of any use to anyone. E.g. Editor widgets like to have a paste button. Edit > Paste is a fairly common pattern, too.

Without having the OS in charge of managing the entire UI, it's difficutlt to make that work
I'm not talking about the games themselves, I'm talking about the experience of using the console (I also thought Dread was a bit of a letdown, and don't get me started on the difference between 3D All Stars and the Crash/Spyro remaster).

It's just that on the Switch, in almost all cases you just put the cartridge in the console you're in-game within seconds.

For Xbone/PS4 (and I'm assuming this is worse on the new consoles), there's a whole arduous process to go through before you can play the game. As someone who no longer has the time/energy to pour into gaming like I used to, this hour long wait before playing a game just makes the whole experience not worth it.
