I use Otter pretty religiously to record all work meetings that I participate in. That is probably overkill, but it is great to be able to go back and find details about something I didn't take notes on or wanted to review.

I work with a geographically distributed team and it doesn't do an amazing job with English in various accents — I've noticed Google Recorder on Android is better in this regard — but it's good enough.

Nice product.
Presumably the old BSG?

In the new BSG, atmospheric sensors feature in at least two episodes...the one where terrorists take over a bar, and in the one where Callie and the Chief get trapped in a launch tube.
Beware of apps like Glimp as the Freestyle Libre gone trials with its own, proprietary algorithm. I saw studies reporting a difference between Glimp and the official Libre HW reader (or App) where it turned out to be off by quite a lot..

Moreover, as far as I know Glimp is a closed source App (even if free) and no one except the developers has a clue about how they treat data inside it.

Moscow never said it is planning to invade. They are holding military drills near the border from time to time since at least 2014. All this fearmongering is coming from US leadership, who incidentally are the only ones who would benefit from such conflict. It is very difficult to see them as herous in this situation.

Sometimes guard rails are a good thing, and the AWS philosophy has very firmly been against guard rails, especially related to spending. The issue has come up here again and again that AWS refuses to add cost limits, even though they are capable of it. Azure copied this limitation. I don't mean that they didn't implement cost limits. They did! The Visual Studio subscriber accounts have cost limits. I mean that they refused to allow anyone to use this feature in PayG accounts.

Let me give you a practical example: If I host a blog on some piece of tin with a wire coming out of it, my $/month is not just predictable, but constant. There's a cap on the outbound bandwidth, and a cap on compute spending. If my blog goes viral, it'll slow down to molasses, but my bank account will remain unmolested. If a DDoS hits it, it'll go down... and then come back up when the script kiddie get bored and move on.

Hosting something like this on even the most efficient cloud-native architecture possible, such as a static site on an S3 bucket or Azure Storage Account is wildly dangerous. There is literally nothing I can do to stop the haemorrhaging if the site goes popular.

Oh... set up some triggers or something... you're about to say, right? The billing portal has a multi-day delay on it! You can bleed $10K per hour and not have a clue that this is going on.

And even if you know... then what? There's no "off" button! Seriously, try looking for "stop" buttons on anything that's not a VM in the public cloud. S3 buckets and Storage Accounts certainly don't have anything like that. At best, you could implement a firewall rule or something, but each and every service has a unique and special way of implementing a "stop bleeding!" button.

I don't have time for this, and I can't wear the risk.

This is why the cloud -- as it is right now -- is just too dangerous for most people. The abstractions it provides aren't just leaky, the hole has razor-sharp edges that has cut the hands of many people that think that it works just like on-prem but simpler.
Ahhh. So 2 words instead of 4. You're going to be really disappointed by Octordle and Septurdle, then.

Everyone was talking about domain name squatting but turns out its been IP addresses this whole time :-D

But that does definitely seem like an excessive amount for them to own. I would guess the huge swathes the government has reserved are not exactly being used to their potential either.
> ...The redundancy between chats, group chats, and Teams channels (which are like a message board?) is just bizarre and constantly causes confusion...

Oh yeah, I'm with you! I'll admit that Slack's UX and UI is not my favorite either, but at least any challenges are in a single dimension (not like Teams in multiple, challenging dimensions)...Meanwhile Teams' is just awful. I mean, the Teams "rooms" (I guess i call them "rooms" because its annoying to call them "Teams Sites"?) almost exist like channels/rooms in good ol' IRC...but then Teams has channels underneath Teams Sites/rooms...?...Plus, if i want to chat with an indiviodual, those live in the separate "Chat" area...Ugh! To the valid point about slack, at least its all there on the left. I guess i could sort of see if there was drastically different functionality between Chats and Rooms/Sites...but i dont think so. So, why then separate them? As much as i dislike Microsoft as an organization overall (for their historic corporate behavior), they often don't jhave the worse UX ideas...But for Teams, ugh!

I'm gpoing to pivot a little to matrix, and specifically the Element client...which is the most popular matrix web client. I'm an admitted matrix fanboy, so clearly i'm biased...but even Element has areas that are simpler for me to comprehend and utilize...Also, Element in my mind is still waaaaay early in its evolution, and still very much far from their UX being topnotch. But even in Element's infancy is leaps abovew what Teams is now after several years. I acknowledge that Teams "does more" (like embedding Office software, etc.)...and of course the underlying matrix protocol is NOT limited to chat...But, wow, is Teams sucky.
They stopped me at one of those tables once and I'm not black.
i think tunnelling quic over TCP might run into the same problems you have when tunnelling TCP/IP over TCP. if you have two congestion algorithms running then you get weird performance issues.

Teams is not meant to be good, friendly or performant. Teams is meant to check boxes in executive meetings, and to beat the competition's price when purchased in bulk.
How does this work with sites that have absurdly strict password requirements? i.e. 8-16 characters, 3+ letters (1+ of which is upper case), 2+ numbers, 1+ special characters (from their curated list only!) I've seen a few financial related sites have requirements like these, and with a typical password generator I can just click 'generate' until one pops out that meets the reqs, and save it.
I'm getting some weird words in practice such as "FETID" and "SHALT". Is it reasonable to increase the cutoff of word usage for the dictionary?
> If you want to pick on a company for hogging IPv4 space, pick on Apple. They have a /8 and probably aren't using any of it.

Most (if not all) of Apple's infrastructure uses their /8 block. With Apple Park they've moved to using a 10/8 with NAT for talking to the outside. Between iCloud, iTMS/App Store, and iMessage Apple's got a non-trivial amount of global network infrastructure beyond just their corporate network.

So I guess be mad at Apple for using their IP space?

‘Zero-Click’ Hacks Are Growing in Popularity
I guess the Wunderlist team is more competent than their Teams one.
I've been recently searching for some very specific keyword stuff, and bumping into a lot of sites which seemed like just reformatted copy-n-paste of stackoverflow and various mailing lists, adding zero value and clogging up the top 100 search results.

Now that I see the HUGE number of copycat sites in the stackoverflow_copycats.txt file, I am beginning to understand what's going on.

Thanks!
I'm shocked that you got to hear those recordings that were supposedly under NDA.

Well, not that shocked. I'm sure your uncle was generally being diligent. But really, you shouldn't have been able to find out what he was working on.
And of course, those are both your brain. The self-aware rational parts just aren't always in charge (heck, I'm not sure if they're even in charge most of the time, no matter what they would like to think).

Lousy news. You may not have known about her code unless you're an old-school Unix user--guilty--but you certainly know her quote above.
Awesome write up, but one thing I still don't understand; why is hypoglycemia such a big part of the problem? If insulin is your body's way of moving glucose out of your bloodstream and T1D means that lever is broken, why do you so often end up with too little blood glucose? Is it just because of overestimating the insulin dose? Or is there some other factor; i.e. does glyconeogenesis not work properly or something along those lines?

If the problem is that the pancreas can't produce insulin, I would have thought something like a ketogenic diet would make it easier since you would have less of a need for insulin, and therefore less guesswork trying to counteract the blood sugar spikes from a high carb meal. But it sounds like bringing blood sugar up is a big part of managing T1D, so I'm just wondering why that would be the case for a diabetic but not for a non-diabetic.

Actually, that's a type error in Python, hence my question.
1password does this unless I'm misunderstanding your post.
The underlying algorithms of ray tracing, ignoring the details of the graphics system and IO, really are very simple (Snell's law). The 1K of clojure example is pretty much that.

All the rest is pretty uninteresting, in my opinion- the various tricks to make better rendering in shorter times is mostly grad-level math and some computer engineering, while the asset loading is a long solved problem with ultra-mature libraries.
Thank you for your answer. It have given me something to ponder. I've already considering getting a digital piano as a birthday present for myself in a few weeks time. Not only for myself, but also hoping I can inspire, or at least give the opportunity for, my kids to play.
I get lambasting the author, but I think a more useful way to think here: They use Signal because they care (or think they should care) and because it's available. If there's no safe alternative available in the space Otter is in (and if you need a transcription tool now to be competitive as a journalist, perhaps) it means there's a market for building one.

"Safe transcription app for journalists". Go do it.

> A cure for cancer is often held up as the holy grail of medicine, but even cancer patients don’t have to be perfect every day just to keep living.

Wow. There is no need to dismiss the plight of cancer patients in relation to that of diabetes patients.

As a diabetic, if you go through the (granted, horrible) grind, you can be fairly certain you'll live for quite some time.

If you are a cancer patient, even if you are currently in remission or even 'cured', you don't know if the cancer will come back. And if it will respond to the same treatment and if not if there is an alternative. Your survival timeline basically becomes one giant question mark.

> There are cores and then there are virtual processors as well as the notion of processor folding.

I'm really not sure if I understood that "processor folding" correctly -> would that translate in the case of Intel/AMD/Linux to something like a "dynamic hyperthreading" done under-the-hood by the OS?
The hardest part about this for me is that I often feel like that is the only time I will get to chime in. If I give myself time to think about it - whether it is important enough to discuss, and if so how to do so productively - the conversation will have moved on. The other party will take lack of objection as agreement, and I'll either forget about it until the concern becomes an actual problem (or nothing bad happens), or I'll constantly be that guy dragging up issues that were already "settled".
I feel dumb for thinking "Caveat emptor" in the title meant "end of story". I don't quite understand why latin terms are used so often when plain english gets the point across to more people.
It’s not able to use safari content blockers as far as I know (I don’t think any mom Safari browsers can?).
I really like the culture deck, but surprisingly I find myself disagreeing most strongly with the expenses part, "travel as you would if it were your own money." When I travel with my own money, I'm going to fly basic economy and stay in a Holiday Inn Express. But I would be pretty outraged if a billion-dollar tech company wanted me to do either of those things while traveling on its behalf.

My current employer's approved hotel list is pretty ritzy, much nicer places than I would stay in on leisure travel... and that's kind of the least they can do to offset the general imposition of work travel.
"Historically and mostly today, a wood stove is a cast iron container you fill with wood mostly to heat a house. There have been innovations in shape, airflow etc to make them more efficient but they generally haven't used an electric lighter.

Electric-light gas stoves normally don't need electricity to function - in a outage you can light them with a match or sparker."

Does your parent's wood stove work work without electricity? As in, can you light it with a match or sparker?

"Eastern California, where I currently live, has experienced a half-dozen days-long electrical outages in the last year alone. A the time two months, when I spent four days snowed-in, with it 45-40 degrees inside my apartment, is notable. What does or doesn't work without electricity is an important question."

Yea this totally sucks and you make a good point. You parents' blinds needs a manual backup, just like how automatic garage door systems have a manual override. One of the things I try to focus on is to have my home still function if the server is down. My light switches all work without a server or the internet, but my sunrise lights will not. I think that's a good compromise.
These are great questions. And it’s worthwhile to note that different displays of pride are certainly possible. This doesn’t necessarily imply that pride has no predictive power. It seems to indicate instead that different types of pride manifest differently.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6209642/#!po=0....

Authentic pride is experienced when the attribution of success is internal, unstable, and controllable (Lewis, 2007; Tracy et al., 2009). Authentic pride is associated with extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, satisfying social relationships, high self-esteem, prosocial behaviors, achievement-orientation and mental health (Tracy and Robins, 2007a,b; Tracy et al., 2009; Cheng et al., 2010).

Hubristic pride is experienced if the attribution of success is external, stable, and uncontrollable (Lewis, 2007; Tracy et al., 2009). In contrast to authentic pride, it is related to more antisocial and aggressive behaviors. It is associated with disagreeableness, neuroticism, lack of conscientiousness, narcissism, problematic relationships, and poor mental health outcomes (Tracy and Robins, 2007a,b; Tracy et al., 2009; Cheng et al., 2010).

In this Taxonomy, genetic pride would be hubristic so this paper would imply that it has some likely negative effects.

I am in no way an expert in this and would be happy to see evidence against my expectations. But it was not hard to find scholarly papers supporting the gist of what I said.
"Think before you speak."
I feel Teams is thrown together by a few interns that are trying out Scrum to be "agile". Every few days a button moves to another place or some weird bug is introduced. The latest is that the left and right cursor keys stop working after a while. Makes me wonder what they are doing to have such issues and not notice and why isn't that fixed quickly? Search is basically useless. The built-in wiki isn't searchable at all. It''s just all out terrible.

The only thing that works well is calls, voice and video. I am sure they have plans to destroy that too :-)
I definitely have a list of things I've let go just to be nice that have caused production outages, consistent poor performance, time-consuming technical debt, etc. It's great to have a good relationship with your team, but at the end of the day, the things that you "let go" can become reasons not to buy your product or why new engineers won't be productive on the codebase. It's very easy to be the person that never says "no" to something, but at the same time, it's also easy to be the reviewer that doesn't advance the reviewee's career. A reviewer should ask themselves; "by not commenting on this, am I making the reviewee a better programmer?"

Something I've noticed is that acquaintances will be nice to you universally, but actual friends know when to broach subjects that may not be considered "pleasant" or "nice". Don't give your friends "acquaintance-level" code reviews.
Sure, in the context of the original post, if you're figuring out what you got paid for your time, then all the stuff counts, not just time behind the mic.
CO2 is the obvious connection here, but there's another effect at
play. Candles tend to flicker in the 8Hz - 15Hz frequency range due to
turbulence around the flame. This can be quite soporific. It's likely
a neural entrainment. I wonder if LED fake candles that mimic the
flicker have a similar effect.

> Did you enter "Mustafa Aksu" as the title of the Otter recording? If so, they just took the text you entered and emailed it to you.

Returning information to users can be a surprisingly delicate matter. E.g. HIV clinics and mental health services (in the UK) are careful about the information they put in appointment reminders. Sure the patient signed up for the appointment, but they don’t necessarily want a voicemail or text message to mention the type of clinic.
I'm always reminded of Kubrick's comments on the risk of nuclear weapons:

"People react primarily to direct experience and not to abstractions; it is very rare to find anyone who can become emotionally involved with an abstraction. The longer the bomb is around without anything happening, the better the job that people do in psychologically denying its existence. It has become as abstract as the fact that we are all going to die someday, which we usually do an excellent job of denying." [0]

That last bit invokes some of the research behind Terror Management Theory: first and foremost, we are wired to avoid risks to our survival. But that drive is mediated by subjective qualia: avoiding mortal fear. The best way to do that is to prevent circumstances of immediate danger: don't poke the bear, don't play near the edge of a cliff. But when it comes to dangers of limited individual agency (systemic risk, black swans), it makes complete sense that evolution would select for "try not to think about it".

The “Wandering” scenario from the Super Famicom RPG Live A Live[1] has a similar premise. You have a fixed amount of time before the final boss shows up, and you must find out ways to get and set traps that will affect that battle.

Guess it depends on use case. When it's not very clear what your client wants to consume and your product is evolving rapidly, HTTP APIs tend to turn into a mess and lead to a gigantic amount of requests just to start the app (which, to be fair, is less of a problem now with HTTP/3).

GraphQL has allowed my company to keep our network traffic very lean while evolving a product very quickly and to have very few issues in communicating between our mobile application and backend teams. But once again, I can see how our requirements are not everyone else's.

[2] Even more interesting, the doomsday predictions are more than a hundred years old as well:

>THERE was a letter in NATURE some time since, calling attention to the pollution of the atmosphere by the burning of coal; and it was calculated that in the year 1900, all animal life would cease, from the amount of carbonic dioxide

Hindsight is 20/20. Yes, now, after decades of study and billions of dollars in measurement and modeling infrastructure, this particular theory appears to be panning out. But to pretend that we knew with any certainty 100 or even 60 years ago that this was a likely outcome drastically oversimplifies the complex and chaotic global climate system. It is effectively revisionist history and even more importantly the warming necessary to confirm such theories did not really take off until the last few decades, ignoring that 60 years ago we did not have the spatial coverage to measure it with sufficient density and precision to verify a phenomenon on the scale of global climate change.

And on top of all that, we are measuring a chaotic, periodic, oscillating system, and it is impractical to draw any conclusions
about differences in future trends about without at an absolute minimum decades of quality sampling.

So, again, people who claim that the petroleum industry knew about climate change and irresponsibly and continued to put the future of the planet in peril in the name of profits are dramatically underestimating the scope and scale of the theory and the degree of infrastructure and analysis necessary to prove it with any certainty.

That seems like a reinterpretation of the classic C. S. Lewis quote:

"Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under the omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”"
