> At the time of writing the market price for an IPv4 address is around 50 USD

That's quite an outperforming asset class if true [0].

For a point of comparison, Microsoft paid $11 per address in 2011[1]. To get to $50 is about 15% appreciation/year, plus the added benefit of being able to rent them out by the minute. This article estimates that Amazon has paid about $25 per address in recent years [2].

I once took a 5 hour bike trip on an empty stomach. At some point I couldn’t even turn the pedals. I had to lay on the ground, not feeling better even after half hour. I can still remember the feeling of eating some sweets. Felt like I was reborn. Can’t imagine what it’s like for T1
This is a tooling problem. Github reviews vs. Bitbucket reviews will show this. In Github you can write your comments and send them all at once. Until you submit the review, you can just edit your comments and undo them or whatever.

Mysteriously, it doesn’t exist today.

Once the permission is granted, it could be revoked from the settings like all other permissions.

This could also apply to App Store apps, yes.
Umineko: When They Cry has a great deconstruction of the locked-room trope. It’s a very long story (5 gigabytes of voiced lines!), but a hugely entertaining deconstruction for any fan of the detective/mystery genre. One of the best mysteries I’ve ever read.

You can hate the guilt, but you can't hate the pleasure -- that wouldn't make any sense.
This is why I am so grateful for GitHub reviews; Being able to group comments to fire off all at once has saved me from this multiple times as I continue reading, realise something, and remove a previous comment.

In fact you reminded me of the technique right now to check the responses and make sure nobody else had already said this!
I can imagine.. But everything about GNOME rubs me the wrong way, so I find it hard to compare. The huuge title bars even when I don't have a touchscreen, everything hidden under a hamburger menu, the lack of configurability..

So for me the comparison against KDE is very different. KDE's tools have pretty sane defaults and can be customised very well.
In my case, it feels like GraphQL has allowed me to handle a product with very rapidly changing needs without turning our network communication into a gigantic mess with dozens of requests happening for every little thing - which is my previous experience with REST APIs.
Yes! As far as I'm aware the "cloudy" password managers all do it.
"treat you like a cash cow and to do as many tests or procedures as possible, even unnecessary ones, knowing that your insurance company or the government will foot the bill no questions asked."

One slight addition. They might be medically unnecessary, but have become legally necessary in some cases. Either because medical protocol has adapted to try to charge more, or because if you don't you might get sued because "Every other doctor would have run that test", etc.

But it is still very much about the money. When I got my wisdom teeth extracted, I had to go in for a 10 minute consult with xray on one day, then go in on a second day (even though it could be done on a single day). Why? Because insurance will not pay for a consultation if it happens on the same day as the extraction.

As for the government footing the bill in the US. Some procedures are deprioritized by hosptials of the patient is on Medicaid. The Medicaid reimbursement rate is generally lower than that of other insurance, so they prioritize the people/insurance that pay more.

If what I described is "simpler" that linkedin tools, either their algos don't work or the recruiters are too incompetent to use them correctly.

also my post wasn't really "rate my thoughts" but "how would you fix tech recruiting?" i.e how would you build a better process than unqualified spam?

Also my theory on Linkedin, is that they have absolutely no incentive to make actually effective tools.

A recruiter have no other choices, Linkedin is basically a monopoly, if they build a tool that is actually effective at recruiting, you'd need less recruiters, so less linkedin memberships, and more engineering/processing power needed on Linkedin side, they have nothing to win by making good tools to find candidates, they just have to look good enough to purchase a membership since they have basically no competitors. It's kind of like Google Search, it's ineffective and infested by ads, by design, for money, they're just a monopoly and can get away with it.
I am upgrading from an 8GB M1 Macbook Air to a 16GB M1 Max Macbook Pro just because Teams makes my laptop unusable
Teams was a not-insignificant reason for leaving my last company. My day to day stress levels immediately plummeted after going back to using Slack. People say Slack is terrible, but I tell them go to use Teams and then come back to me. It is by far the biggest dumpster fire software I've had the displeasure of using. It's the only software that has made me consistently angry. All of the issues you described I have experienced. One of the most plaguing issues was actually viewing new messages. When clicking a channel to view new messages, 50% of the time the screen would be blank and I would have to click away and back to render the chat.
Agree, I mean that this fsync behavior is not what makes M1 fast as a platform (which the parent seemed to imply) - it just speeds up the disk part. The CPU is fast on its own.
If you tax the carbon then the market will adjust by favouring more efficient products. If poor people can't afford them then that's a different societal issue which is not being caused by a relatively small tax.

I'm not diabetic, but I tried a FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor to measure my blood sugar, and I think it's basically what you are asking for. Tap your phone on a patch on your arm to get a instant view of your blood sugar, plus see the previous 8 hours. It is pricey though.
> In contrast, a strong language would require explicit conversions and throw an error otherwise.

That's not the definition the author is going with considering that they're saying that Python (which requires explicit type conversions in most cases) is weakly typed.

From the replies here I'm seeing that there's no clear definition of "weakly" and "strongly" typed languages. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to use these terms.

The increasing number and intensity of disasters is causing many types of insurance, particularly flood and fire, to become scarcely available. We are beyond basic cost accounting at this point.
I doubt anyone would be using Teams if it had not been produced by Microsoft. It has so many shortcomings that I know I will miss some, but here's a gripe list anyway:

1) Echo cancellation. This is a solved problem and pretty much every other conferencing app does it right. Microsoft probably rolled their own which is why it does not work right.

2) I have Teams installed on my desktop, Android phone, and iPad. (Unfortunately, my company wants us to use it.) Regardless of the notification settings in the apps, if I was on the desktop but switched my KVM away, my phone and iPad will not notify me of incoming Teams calls, messages, etc.

3) Editing a document using the collaborative environment is painfully broken. Sometimes it will take many seconds to register a keystroke (on a gigabit-class CONUS connection). Sometimes edits will disappear completely, or sometimes just temporarily. Change tracking doesn't work right. Google Docs had collaborative editing perfected over 10 years ago.

4) Moving files in/out of Teams "Folders" can be painfully slow.

5) Interoperability between the desktop Teams app and govcloud/non-govcloud users is hosed, but it seems to work fine on phones and tablets. Desktop users must access meetings via browser if their "home" Teams account govcloud flavor does not match that of the meeting originator, but no such restrictions exist on phones & tablets. WTF?

6) The Linux desktop version of Teams does not operate with govcloud at all.

7) Depending on the platform, users cannot share their desktop when using the browser-based version. Chrome actually supports this better than Edge.
And people like Leonardo DiCaprio fly their private jet to a conference, to tell Johnny average not to drive his car to work but instead use a bike. The same issues are apearing in many other future catastrophies, where a few big actors cause most of the damage, and the governments want to "do something", and then ban straws and make fuel a bit more expensive for average people, while not touching the main polluters.
I see it being like this:

Value: move fast (positive)

Anti-value: break things (negative)

Breaking things is not positive normally, but it's the compromise for moving fast.
Yea, that's definitely what I should have done. But it did not cross my mind when I originally set everything up. Next time!
Microsoft doesn't pay their devs. that well, that's why. With second rate engineers and designers, you are going to get second rate products.
I think you can prevent network access for an app over Wi-Fi on iPhones sold in China, but for some reason this feature hasn’t been made available globally. For now the only option is to disable cellular for an app and disconnect from Wi-Fi.

reddit already has a search feature. It's garbage, but it does exist.

Also, plenty of people already use Google to search reddit. If reddit integrated a Google-powered search feature, would that be a game-changer? I doubt it. What would be the difference compared to if they implemented their own search?
I agree with the reasoning not to have notifications mentioned here.

However, a related request would be an easy way to identify new comments on a conversation thread when you're on the threads page. Is that something that can be done?

Venona dumps are apparently still embarrassing enough that they're only being drip published still even today. I don't think the original Russian is declassified at all.
Had a call today. Shortly beforehand I realised it was on Teams and immediately began closing down other apps on my laptop. I paused for a moment and thought about how insane it was that i was automatically freeing up resources to cope with Teams. It’s almost the only app that causes my fan to run. It must be so frustrating for coders on that product, surely everyone wants to craft something great.
Another long-term T1 here. This is one of the best posts I've read describing how hard it is.

The only thing I'd add after a couple of decades... the psychological side gets harder and harder as fatigue sets in, and you have to keep working harder and harder to beat it.

I can't imagine how difficult it would be for a parent and for the post's author. That sounds 1000x harder than facing T1 for yourself. Some of the stem cell research work being done is really exciting. And there is hope that by the time this little kid is grown up, it might be a solved problem.

In the meantime, shame on the pharmaceutical companies for their years of price gouging with insulin in the USA, a creation for which the original patent was gifted to the world for free.
AWS budgets is a tool for cost containment (among other external services).
Each time a developer does something on a cloud platform, that moment the platform might start to profit for two reasons: vendor lock-in and accrued costs in the long term regardless of the unit cost.

Anything limitless/easiest has a higher hidden cost attached.
You're right, the truth is probably actually that only a minority of T1Ds have CGMs. My post was a bit insensitive, not everyone has easy access to them.
It's not like people don't know, it's more like there's not much we can do about it (other than voting).

It's up to governments to come up with and enforce laws that prevent corporations from releasing millions of metric tons of greenhouse gasses. Without strict laws in place, there's too little incentive from being moral or being long-term oriented, also your competition who don't will run you out of business with the extra profits.

There's also very few consumers willing to investigate/research the pollution generated from all companies related to making/delivering the products they buy. So being "greener" isn't really much of an advantage.
I trust password managers more than I trust my ability to write down every password I might need again, and somehow not lose that notebook or leave it somewhere for someone to read it.
Personally I find Latin phrases to be more accurate and succinct than their English replacements. Plus, there's a lot of phrases that you're probably super familiar with that you just don't think about their origin being Latin. When I come across a new Latin phrase, I just treat it like a special kind of phrase that I can learn, in an ad hoc fashion. ;)
I'd expect that committing a murder in a locked room doesn't really require much in the way of planning or knowledge. Put me in a locked room with someone and I don't need much (except the will and likely a weapon) to do the deed.

However, Getting away with committing a murder in a locked room is the hard part -- how do you exit the room and re-lock it from the inside? How do you make sure to remove all traces of you from the room? And a dozen other things that need to happen in order to get away with such a murder.
From replies, it seems that most people prefer it that way, so I wouldn't say it is _highly_ debatable. It appears to be different from your preference and that's about all.
I think the second example is probably meant more as ‘point out flaws’.

Having someone point out flaws, while sometimes an important ingredient in actually fixing flaws, can just as or more often be about as useful in really solving something as eating chocolate can be in addressing why someone is feeling sad.

Aka, not much.
Sorry for the late reply. I really, really appreciated your in depth replies and your different perspective. Thank you so much for that, I learnt a lot things too :)

That's why I like Apple's approach of local backups. Nothing is exclusively in the cloud alone, it's only backed up to cloud. Everything I care about, I can access it locally with no internet, including all old photos, files, chats, mails, passwords pretty much everything.
I have slight hearing problems too. It's been a nightmare for me as I partly rely on lipreading and I haven't been able to so I've been having to ask people to repeat themselves a lot.
Very good analysis. The author writes:

>The post-modern fish swims in a narrative sea, and their first reaction is always to try to control it (through what the CCP calls “discourse power”) because at heart they well and truly believe in the idea of the “social construction of reality,” as Lasch pointed out in the quote at top. If there is no fixed, objective truth, only power, then the mind’s will rules the world. Facts can be reframed as needed to create the story that best produces the correct results for Progress (this is why you will find journalists are now professionally obsessed with “storytelling” rather than reporting facts).

This reminded me very much of a 2004 discussion between Ron Suskind and an unnamed, high ranking US official which appeared in New York Times Magazine in the wake of the invasion of Iraq. Although the official who made the statement wasn't named, it was widely purported to be Karl Rove.

>The aide said that guys like me [Suskind] were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

This mentality exhibited by "virtual class" who believe everything is simply a narrative to be set, controlled and manipulated by the powerful, the disaster in Iraq and this episode with the truckers brings to mind another quote:

To be postmodern you must also be modern. Post-modern is a cultural thing (in the area of culture, ideas, media, etc.), but our environment, cities, technology, and structure of society is still the one modernity created.

Yeah I know. It'd be great if it was tho wouldn't it?
I’d even suggest shedding the thought that things can be “wrong”

“Wrong” is a subjective outlook and usually is not a helpful conclusion. Especially if the system is already active.

Better to discuss in detail the benefits of an alternative.
You are overthinking it. An alternative to “spot flaw” here would be “point out flaw”. The author is just giving an example on how engineers have a habit of pointing out flaws
Part of the impression that iOS is dominant comes from usage stats. Last I had insight into the stats (maybe three years ago? Four?) iOS users spent way more time using their devices than Android users, it had been that way basically since iOS and Android had existed, and that state showed no signs of changing. Web browsing? Average iOS user does more of it. Time in apps? Ditto. So they have a much larger usage footprint, are more visible in hands as you're out and about, et c.
