> You can actually hear my '96 motor quiet down as the oil makes it's way through the head. Takes about 15 seconds. I wait for the engine coolant temp to reach 75c before I give it a good wick. It fluctuates between 75c and 85c under good load.

Pretty typical of engines of that vintage with hydraulic lifters.

> Interesting to me, is that when idling down a hill it does not drop, but if left in gear going down a hill it does drop in temp. It can actually get itself below operating temperature in gear going down a hill. I presume because the heat being pulled out via pumping air through the combustion chamber is greater than the thermostat would allow to be pulled out via the radiator.

I didn't think that would significant but I could be wrong. Is it a diesel or gasoline engine? My guess would be the thermostat is leaking or wrong temperature.
The hurdle of moving everything to a new sim could be a hassle, but being locked out of services tied to your number and 2FA is pretty debilitating. Continuity is the main reason I use Fi
Boris is boracic, and his salary for being PM is likely entirely spent on child support and hush money for his infidelities.
My main takeaway from Feynman’s book was that it’s probably good to be more adventurous. He wasn’t just committed to a specific thing. He just generally followed his curiosity and great things came out of it.
This is a very old, and very workable approach to soil health management.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-field_system

You have to ensure that what's being taken out of the soil is at least replaced, if not replaced and added to - especially around organic material and nitrogen.

Humans have understood this for thousands of years, but the advent of artificial fertilisers allowed us to skip the "fallow" bit, thus increasing productivity in the short term.
This article, from ABC News, reports in 2021 that senior KLA officials have pled guilty to witness intimidation.

It also states that after 10,000 Albanians were killed, thousands of Serbs were victims of "revenge" attacks.

Do you personally hold the belief that not a single Serb was harmed between 1992-2008?

> Cats will sleep in a variety of different locations, each likely the combination of factors such as mood, warmth, light and coziness." [emphasis mine]

They miss out a key component for some cats: territory monitoring. My boss seemingly often picks places where she can see a lot by just looking up & around, and can hear what is going on around the flat, when taking a light nap. For a deeper sleep coziness seems to be a higher priority.

I can't see any configuration in that repo for testing different asm variants.

There's cpu = 'i686' in the config file which would in fact seem to imply none of the modern archs mentioned in a different subthread here ("x86_64(SSE3, AVX2), ARMv7 and ARMv8") are fuzzed.
kids are a massive, easily swayed demographic so there will always be some company somewhere trying to market to them. That's why there are so many restrictions when it comes to making kid-focused content.

COPPA tried to get Youtube to comply but as you see, it just becomes about pushing the envelope as close as it can without getting fined. given the copious amounts of media in the past that had the obligatory "sugar is bad for you" message, there probably wouldn't be much that the FCC or whoever can do for content like that.

I imagine it ended like "and then she puked. see? Sugar is bad for you!". So they get "good morals" and even get to put in the gross-out humor to engage kids.

Also, it’s quite ridiculous to claim this was somehow just a matter of age, since there’s a reason for only finding old people at Port bou, most young people from Port Bou are in Barcelona, where colleges are…

Even young people didn’t want war, because here there’s an ingrained distrust of the military, since twice in Barcelonas history the canons built to protect it were turned around and used to raze it to the ground by the people sworn to protect it.

Property rights in the US, for good or ill, don't entitle you to force others to stop the flow of air going into your property. You can use your property rights to live inside of a sealed bubble if you don't want access to air.

What you really mean is you want to infringe on the property rights of others, because you're unwilling to seal off your own property.

Moving what to a new SIM? Smartphones store contacts in the phone and cloud, not on the SIM card. If you’re going to live overseas and need a US number get a phone that supports dual SIM cards.

Most of the newer iPhones support either two nano SIMs or built-in eSIM plus physical SIM. Takes a few seconds to set it up.

TOTP 2FA (Authy, Google Auth, etc.) does not need cell or internet, it’s time-based. SMS 2FA is harder to accommodate, for that I suggest a US number with Twilio that you can forward to any number in the world.

Thanks for referencing that. Maybe it's semantics, but as someone coming at this from a game design perspective, 1 and 2 are clearly strategic, but I'd have said 3 is tactical rather than strategic. Tactics are the mid-level actions/subgoals that are used to implement a strategy. You can have a strategy without tactics - though usually you will need them in order for the strategy to succeed.
That's a sweet article, but probably those findings relate to the age of the person doing the studying. A good bed should support your spine so that it is aligned while sleeping, and the comfort layer needs to allow for circulation to occur in the tissue you are lying on. If these factors are not correct you'll wake up with back pain, or poorly rested (due to excessive movement overnight to relieve poor circulation). I'm surprised they didn't find a worsening of sleep quality not sleeping on their bed.

We have a cat and she definitely shifts her sleeping place every few days/week. Another theory I have is that it is a natural way of managing fleas, which will die off with no animal sleeping in the spot for several days.
Oh jeez, those are great examples. Thanks. I only use it in neovim (telescope), this post and your comment have inspired me to start trying it on the command line.
Yes. Within the article it's clear that you are allowed to film yourself as well. Just not bystanders
OP here. Can't edit my post so writing here. Thanks for the responses so far.

I haven't worded my question my very well so let me retry by making it more contextual.

Let's say you are responsible for tech strategy at a bank running off a traditional core banking infrastructure. Understandably hiring for the tech skills necessary to deliver the existing tech stack is mandatory to keep the trains running for the existing business. But your Board is feeling the pressure from Fintechs and the necessity to move to cloud technologies and open architectures which require different skill sets that you currently have.

When you are thinking about the tech strategy and the people you need, would you feel the marketplace of tech talent in traditional core banking tech have the "beyond the tech language" mindset and the personal and professional skills to drive your future tech state? Or would you be better placed hiring generalist tech superstars i.e. people who may or may not have banking and bank tech experience but come with a suite of entrepreneurial and problem solving skills skills such that they can work out a bank grade tech architecture that allows the bank to compete with the Fintechs in the future?

Or is it simply easier for me to view this as the distinction between the remit and capabilities of the CTO team vs the CIO team?
Do you guys just dump people in the docs and abandon them?

How’s your turnover rate?

Restating facts as you have heard them is a valid form of consensus building. If they don’t match, then everyone is better off if that is corrected before you act on them. If I unload a bunch of information on you and you just nod along, I have absolutely no idea what’s going on in your head, I just have my own narrative which could be anything from wow this is going awesome to wtf is wrong with this bobble headed jackass. Unless you articulate, I won’t know which it is until you’ve done a number of things incorrectly and we finally challenge you to explain yourself.

If you think the docs are wrong, and propose a fix that is worse, then a conversation about that will save us days, weeks, or even months later on. And that will also save your standing with the team. But if you’d rather fashion a pretty necktie out of all of this rope then I can’t really stop you, but I sure am going to heckle you while you do.
That's your opinion, but everything about this process screams useless busy work.

You also could have read the update to know that she didn't waste anyone's time.

You make a lot of assumptions.
I have to disagree with the perceived security with this approach because it fails the requirement of not reusing your passwords.

In case you have this clever scheme and use it on some malicious or insecure website, your scheme could be leaked and then it's only marginally harder to break into your other accounts. Randomly generated passwords don't have this weakness.

When I was a young and broke student I had more time to tinker with old computers and free (and pirated) software and get things fun things working. I also hated on Apple.

Now that I have a comfortable middle class western lifestyle I can appreciate the appliance nature of Apple’s products. I use them for work because they are reliable and do indeed just work.

In the lab I can still tinker with computers but I try to leave that to my students so they can have the same wonderful experience I had.

I haven’t build a PC in a few years and hope to build something new in a couple of years. It’s not a monoculture just because I prefer Macs for getting work done and I’m not going to apologise for my situation. Apple know their users and I’m happy that they can meet most of my needs.
Modern SSO is shit and doesn’t deserve to be called SSO.

True SSO is what Kerberos and/or Active Directory has where all the auth is handled out of band and you never ever see a login pop up.

SAML/OIDC is a kluge that offers a worse experience than a password manager and in practice means you’ll be interacting with login forms a lot more frequently.

Password manager flow:

- Open website’s login page, manually, from bookmarks or even the password manager to begin with

- login form has username & password field on the same page which the password manager fills and submits

- you are logged in

“SSO” flow:

- Open website’s login page

- login form has only email/username, can’t really use a password manager because there’s no password and you don’t want to interfere with the flow (by using a dummy password) because you’ll need your PW manager for the next step and you don’t want the manager stuck on waiting for a password field to appear to fill in that dummy password

- wait for (at least one, but typically several) redirects which take a couple seconds (and much worse on flaky mobile connections)

- now you fill in your actual SSO credentials - this is where you use your PW manager.

- now click through whatever upsells your SSO provider has such as nagging you to use their proprietary 2FA app (another one!) instead of your standard TOTP client

- finally go through a few more redirects and end up back on the original site

Since the SSO-integrated website has no way to actively tell when your SSO session has expired, it usually defaults to a conservative value which means you need to go through this crap every 12 hours or so.

The password manager flow is much much faster. IMO unless you’re able to do proper, real (Kerberos/AD) SSO, just give your employees a good password manager.

I understand the technical reasons behind why things are the way they are, but IMO as an industry we should do better and not expose implementation details to the user in such an annoying way. Security shouldn’t be at the detriment of user experience.
Playing a little onboarding game for a few minutes where people click through a corporate directory is not "unhuman".

No, it's infantilizing your workforce. Don't do that.
It's not that simple when the plot of land is developed, because you can't build an expressway without also buying whatever structures sit on that land, which aren't rateable for an LVT and may genuinely be worth much more. Holdouts argue the lot is the same low value land it always has been for LVT purposes but they want $10m to sell their beautiful ancestral family home that sits on it...

A traditional property tax rating encompassing the value of the lot and everything that sits on it works much better for compulsory purchases.
I'm surprised they are telling people to switch, when I still get a message saying my Jangouts older than a year won't show up in Google Chat. I've noticed that most of them show up but not all of them. One thing I loved about Hangouts was the chat folder in Gmail that showed my chat history. I wish they did something similar with Google Voice. I wonder how long it will be before they try combining Voice and Google Chat.
If all that stuff is strategy, then what are operations and tactics?
That group has been trying to buy Microsoft employee credentials. Maybe they found a seller.
Absolutely cannot wait for this to come to SQL. Or is there a way already to adopt this?
The problem is that you are treating it as a thing to forbid. No, that never works. Kids are bound to rebel against some ultimatim of "you can't do X because it's bad or you!". That's not a satisfactory explanation for an ineivtably inquisitive adolescent. Use it as an opportunity to communicate and teach them t self-moderate. Definitely enforce it at home as well, but if you can't trust your kid outside your watch you're missing the point.

Moreover, they spend a lot of time at school, but not all of it. If teachers can't keep kids of social media for hours on end that's a problem with the school, not the social media. They banned access to phones in my school outside of emergencies and kids passed times playing video games on a TI-84. No way in heck any kid in my school back in the day would get more than a few messages between teachers peeking in
I really love the fact that there's no framework, no composer, no autoloading, just plain PHP. That's how you get the job done!
> your three year old will have a far better life than you or I. Climate change is a problem but there will be solutions.

To be frank, this is completely false and may be you are getting wrong information. Climate change is already in irreversible state, there is no solution. Period.

Gov and corporations are not even trying to minimise it, just delaying until last moment. Humans will survive but it will be dystopian. The kids will suffer the worst. This is not exaggeration. Rich will just stay in gated community.
There's no "just". People will always be "more used" to human languages than to programming languages (especially esoteric ones).

Moreover, human languages will always be more simple at expressing human interactions than programming languages. "You pay me 2.5% of the agreed sum on the 25th of each month" will always be infinitely more understandable to an average human than whatever the implementation of that would be in Soldity.
Maybe now people will understand why local user accounts are important... who am I kidding things are just going to keep getting worse.
I am a huge fan of rachelbythebay.com

I'm also sorry she had to put up with a lot of bullshit from companies. I only wish her the best. She seems to get stuff done, and fix bad problems. It seems most companies would be very lucky to have her join.
Thank you for explaining how you work, and I would never laugh at a developer for copy/pasting code. We've all done it!

I'm still intrigued to understand exactly how you share code across services. Let's say that you've written a piece of code for logging, which you want to use in both service A and service B. Do you package it up in a library? If so, doesn't that mean you have to place that library in a repository, so both services can access it? Doesn't that mean that if you want to make changes to the logging code that you now have to publish a new version of the library, and remember to update both services to depend on the new version?

That's the friction I'm talking about.

With Polylith, the logging code would live in a component that's directly accessible to all the other components in the system. That's because Polylith lets us work with all our components as if they're a monolith (even if we chose to deploy them as multiple services). This means that when we update the logging component, there's zero friction to update any impacted components in the services.

If the change only affects the logging component's implementation (and not its interface) then no other components need to be updated, and we can just redeploy the system. If it's a breaking change to the interface, then we can immediately fix the impacted components within our monolithic development environment. If the change is a refactor of the logging component's interface, then the other components will be automatically updated by our refactoring tool!

Hopefully that explains how Polylith solves this challenge so elegantly.
"The Game" is certainly juvenile, but it's also a funny look at a very odd world at a point in time that also changed the industry it described massively by making people aware of the tactics and forcing the companies involved to massively reinvent themselves. It seems half of them doubled down on getting worse and creepier, and the other half tried - with varying success - to move to more mainstream self-help.
He stopped himself and said this wasn't applicable to others.
I see no reason to help Microsoft with anything when it comes to Linux. Edge isn't even open source is it? I don't see how this helps anyone to provide a Flatpak of a proprietary binary that will go to great lengths to take hostile actions against the user.

"Yeah, where are the lawsuits against fast food and the junk food industry?"

about 15 years ago... the fast food companies won. Seems like all they can succeed on is skimping out on straws.

But yea, I agree on the same line of reasoning. There's a lotta bad stuff out there, it's up to parents to navigate their kids to have them actually understand why it is bad and limit consumption. Not treat it as some forbidden fruit to dine on behind your back. suing companies for providing services that aren't inherently harmful is a slippery slope I'd rather not take.
400+ comments and nobody mentioned PaleMoon? Really??

Okay, just don't call it the future of money. A form of money that is worse at everything except clandestine transactions is not the future of money. Regarding the supposed guarantees of limited supply, this is both irrelevant and factually wrong. The issuer of a currency (e.g. a central bank, or the "bitcoin protocol" in the case of bitcoin) does not control the supply of the currency. This is because fractional reserve banking results in new money being created when banks lend, a process that inflates (or deflates, when the demand for loans falls) the money supply. Moreover, the users of a currency don't care about the supply of that currency, because that's not an observable quantity. What matters, instead, is price stability. And to maintain price stability you need a competent authority in charge of managing the money supply, which is antithetical to the very idea of decentralised currency.
What you're describing is also known as staying in your comfort zone, which can be devastating.

You should be mindful of your feelings and examine their origins, yes. But I wouldn't recommend being driven by them.
But if driven hard while cold, it will warm up faster, reducing the damage that can be done.

It's a trade-off, and nobody seems to have done the science properly - it's just mechanics and engineers guessing which effect is worse.
I'm was a network engineer and I have to admit I wouldn't be on the peer-to-peer path I took if I wouldn't have read the book "Honeybee Democracy".

It's an amazing non programming related book that teaches a working concept of swarm intelligence and their communication algorithms and behaviours. In the networked computers world this has so many potential applications, especially when you have to think outside the box to be able to scale and analyze network traffic patterns.
It's not clear to me that early tech culture is at odds with modern tech culture. To me it feels like the values of that early culture provided quite fertile ground for the situation we have now.
> Here's what onboarding should look like for an Engineering role: you come in at 9:00, do the bare minimum with HR, meet your team, set up your computer, and before the end of your first day, you have your first code changes in production. Then you go home with a feeling of accomplishment. Then, during the rest of the week, some onboarding meetings will happen, but at least you have started with the most important place: your team.

That pretty much describes my department, for the 25 years I ran it.

Of course, it was a fairly small team of experienced, high-functioning, engineers, so I doubt it represented the “industry standard” shop. We hired people with many years of experience, and I found it productive to let each one have a great deal of agency and control of their development environment.
Huh? How can I decide not to read a comment before reading it? The only way for me to tell if a comment offends me, is if I read it, but by then I'm already offended.

"Externalities" is a useful economic concept but it's been hijacked by people who use it as "stop doing things I don't like".
Maybe lots of snark (comparisons to "refugee" and "waterboarding" are somewhat tasteless and very much a privileged Silicon Valley person take).

However having been through enough onboardings the overall tone does resonate, and shows that companies don't spend enough time streamlining and revising their processes. Maybe it might help for them to do trial runs on new machines once a year or spend time removing tech debt out of their dev environments. If a new hire, especially one experienced in your stack, has difficulty onboarding, then something is wrong and it's probably not them.
