I'm currently on protonmail and I am also getting frustrated by their glacial rate of change for reported bugs and quality of life improvements. Also their calendar is one of the worst calendars I have ever used so need to use another service for that anyway.

And they're clearly not interested in making money since they've abandoned the project and are going bankrupt, so none of what you said has any validity here.

Should houses collapse when the builder goes out of business? Should people be banned from living in them or making custom repairs because "What about the company's creditors!"

Precluding a third party from performing after market-maintenance on a dead product and forbidding a current user to continue using something they paid for isn't capitalist--it's anticapitalist and purely spiteful.
I wouldn't say it's just technical. The Ethereum Classic chain, where the transaction lives on, still exists and is now worth ~3x more than it was at the time of the hack. If the hacker kept their ETC (not sure if they did) they would still have 118M$ USD today. And regardless, the probability that any one transaction will be reversed by a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain are vastly smaller. There have been tons of hacks in Bitcoin's history already and no transactions were reversed. Bitcoin doesn't have a clear head.

> I estimate the probability of a similar Bitcoin action to be small, but much larger than the "miner gets really, really, really lucky" scenario you propose. Do you disagree?

Of course, I agree. That being said, I'd still put the probability in the vanishingly small category, especially for any individual transaction that isn't an exploit, and not worth considering in the context of "finality", as the term is commonly used (and not as patio11 defines it).

I doubt so. When I bought my Leatherman Wave, the bundled leather pouch was a little too tight, and I emailed them about the issue. The response was "It's intentionally made that way. If it doesn't stretch to fit in a week or two, let us know and we'll send you a new one, for free. Have nice day and enjoy your tool".

> It's sad that "at scale" has become synonymous with "without human oversight".

That’s exactly the point of scaling though. You’re using automation to replace a human component. It’s as true now as it was during the industrial revolution.

Unfortunately you can’t have it both ways.

Thankfully if you want to deal with humans then you can still buy from small independent outlets. But you then also have to accept that might come with a higher price tag too.
It feels like the whole “everything is Unicode now” movement was misguided to me.

Some things are meant to be simple, and Unicode is massively complex. True, these are rare-ish corner cases, but every programmer knows it’s only ever a matter of time until you hit any possible corner case.

I’m not saying, screw people whose languages don’t fit into ASCII (I’m one of them btw), but I really don’t want to know the vagaries of Unicode representation to inspect a file name.

Maybe Unicode needs a “safe mode” where only outright characters are allowed? Or maybe the unavoidable complexity is a design flaw, for some uses anyway.

I feel like we’re close to someone discovering Unicode is Turing-complete...
It's all right. I like starting with the basics because I assume that there are always people who are just getting started. It's always hard to find where to place the cursor, but I write many of my articles thinking about my son and his first encounters with things in life.

I've been trying not to be off-topic or self-promotional on this thread because it has so much other great discussion, and it needs a separate thread, but I wanted to answer your question quickly. Thanks sincerely for the feedback and for trying it out. We'd really love to chat more with you about this if you're open to it. The project is still an alpha and we have lots of work to do. We outline some of the good and bad things on our About page, including that it's weak at local searches (like weather or businesses or localizing to region) and there is too much spam in product reviews and ecommerce especially.

My own feeling is that the spam and ad problem (and therefore actual result quality) on Google is at its worst for categories like finance, health and travel. Commercial promotion has really taken over there. For many people, ads are essentially spam when they take over the entire screen of results (try, say, "best home loans in the US").

There is huge variation though. Some searches are still pure. Thanks again and please feel welcome to reach out to chat more about this!

For the same reason I donr want to be a manager. I care too much about people and their development. I mentor all sorts of people. I get annoyed when people don't care as greatly. I'd be a bad boss. People have better things to worry about.

And I don't want to work 24h a day. I want to be able to take vacations. I want to cut myself off from work. I want to be able to stop thinking about work and engineering. It's become so that engineering has become a hobby for me. I want to stop that. There is a lot of other stuff I want to do that doesn't involve tech.

I've been using Google Cloud for personal projects and the company I work for for many years. I've yet to experience an outage that isn't our own fault.

I didn't have many support cases in those years. I vividly remember one case tho. I asked about some Kubernetes billing I got. Used the chat and immediately got someone who appeared to know what he was talking about. After some explaining I understood where the amount came from. Nevertheless he didn't let me go and made absolutely sure that I thoroughly understand how the pricing was structured and why I was billed this way (had something to do with another one of my projects also using Kubernetes).
Sure, their job is non-grinding and non-STEM so they have tons of leeway in "corporate relations". They can afford to ride the wide margins of behavior their position provides, and game the system.

That's fine because in the end, a week without a CEO may be damaging. A week without production is catastrophic. So when the rubber hits the road, it's the happy down-to-earth worker bees that produce the value the managers play around with.

I find great that it is a paid asset, specially seeing such a huge library of icons. However why a subscription model? For this price I guess only mid large studios can afford them, and they may compare it to other asset libraries like the ones from adobe, etc.

Also it is not clear to me what is the license, if I create a product for a customer and I stop the subscription I guess this product can still use the icons I put them there.

Anyway, congratulations for the product, I bookmark it.
I think what you describe is preferable and is how I like to code in general, but then I find that the complexity comes from how these things communicate. It's not actually true in general that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, but it's good to have a system that possess this property.

Newegg had a broken motherboard, already tried to RMA it themselves, then (likely accidentally) sold it as open box.

I see no big problem with that first part at all. Seems like a honest accident - stuff like that can happen. No big deal, imho.

But investigating the returned board - not seeing the RMA sticker on it, mis-classifying the damage, not checking their own records on the board - and claiming it was "customer damage" without any hard evidence... and not ever double-checking anything at all, after the customer repeatedly insisted they didn't even open the box...

That's the real problem. It's almost impossibly sloppy to miss all that during any damage investigation, it's outright offensive to claim "customer damage" without having done any investigation to substantiate that claim, and it's complete madness, to spend a lot of time insisting on "customer damage" in discussions with the customer, without ever double-checking the board, the damage or the records.

That's the reason why it's hard to believe this was a honest accident. Because if it was a honest accident... how could they have never noticed their accident, while "investigating" and refusing a refund multiple times over? With an RMA-sticker right on the board, dated to before the date of sale?
Adding features means unplanned work whilst in development, and usually quite late in to development.

The zero-shot scenario they describe does not work like this. They explicitly mention that it's not trained with any queries (which is what makes it a very promising technique).
"That communists built those weapons should never be forgotten."

Just as it will be never forgotten who developed and build the first of those weapons and who actually used it against civilian population 2 times.

"But we’ll stamp it out and cripple it at every opportunity. Why? Because we don’t want another communist state to build another 6000 hydrogen bombs to drop on our cities."

And maybe you have things backward.

Because this aggressive attitude of "stamp it out and cripple it at every opportunity" was applied to (pseudo) communist states and movements from day one. Before they even had an organized army.

And when you push, you can expect to be pushed back.

So who pushed first? Well, that is called human history and is complicated and filled with slavery and exploitation in all kinds of shapes. This misery fueled the various communist revolutions - not because their ideology is superior in any way.

The russian peasants were basically slaves, with no chance of ever getting rich, no matter how hard they worked. They could not even read for the most part - all they knew was the communists promised better conditions to them in this life.

While the "capitalists" supported their slave masters. Which side would you pick, if trapped in that scenario? And that basic scenario happened very often in the last century all around the world.

So in reality: "fighting communism" often equals "fighting the poor".

Ideology seldom helps understanding complex topics, but it surely makes it easier to make quick decisions.

Yes, but the problem is many websites have horribly shitty implementations of 2FA notably AWS, PayPal, Kraken, Gusto among others. All of these websites only permit registering one key instead of multiple.

You're supposed to allow multiple keys so that if one key gets lost or stolen, you can login with another one and deactivate the lost key, among other reasons.

I also generally leave a key in each of my frequently-used devices and don't like to move keys around or travel with keys, especially on the streets of San Francisco. I have a computer at work, a computer at home, and don't want to commute with a laptop considering 3 friends have been mugged in just the past week.

So for these I'd rather circumvent the 2FA by putting the key in the cloud until they hire some better engineers who can implement multi-key 2FA.
>It's bizarre to me, because a relatively minor repair had to be cheaper than giving me three multitools and six accessories for negative dollars (since the bank tosses fees on top of the chargeback). The companies have no incentive and know they're going to lose (see all the articles complaining about 'friendly fraud' to reference chargebacks) yet they do it.

From where I'm sitting (business owner who handles my own customer support), this seems like a classic case of the business's incentives not aligning with the employee's.

Minor complaints are often much harder to deal with (and care about) than major ones, and far more likely to explode into something nasty. Couple that with the fact that the support rep doesn't see a cent of that transaction, and I can see why they would want to shut down the interaction ASAP.

If you're short on PIO memory, the OUT EXEC instruction will execute an instruction directly from the FIFO. Feed the FIFO with a DMA channel and it'll keep up with the system clock. From the RP2040 datasheet section 3.4.5.2:

> OUT EXEC allows instructions to be included inline in the FIFO datastream. The OUT itself executes on one cycle, and the instruction from the OSR is executed on the next cycle. There are no restrictions on the types of instructions which can be executed by this mechanism. Delay cycles on the initial OUT are ignored, but the executee may insert delay cycles as normal.

How fast your sprint is a function how much backward force there is. You don't drive "down", you drive back. Try driving down and you will see it's impossible to do with any kind of force without the heel touching the ground.

Thanks for the video. The guy in the assistance crew is in fact heel striking. It's not classical extend your leg to hit the ground and roll novice runner kind of heel striking as his leg already moves back and his knee is already bent when he hits the ground but he does hit the ground with the heel first.

I wonder if it's because of the shoes. I don't think he would do that in flats/track race shoes.

Gravity as you mean it isn't a definition, it's a theory.

If you named it vticarg instead and defined the word "gravity" as loud noises, that would be fine scientifically.

I think it's true that surveys like this will skew towards more serious/dedicated practitioners, but in addition to professionals, the Rust community has also at various times attracted people who were excited about bleeding-edge things, or PLT/type-theory people, etc., and I think this survey probably does show a shift in the user base towards work-a-day users and away from these other groups.

The email space is always interesting to me. I love seeing new ways of tackling the stream.

About 4 years ago I found a personal email solution in what I thought would be the unlikeliest of places: Emacs.

Emacs + mu4e + mbsync

If you’ve already invested in improving your general text-editing experience (your own Emacs config), you can transfer lots of its benefits onto the email space. For example, use yasnippets for quickly writing frequent/typical responses.

mu4e search is super snappy on my local imap snapshot (works offline), thus enabling quick batch operations.
