> offices started being designed to make you hate them

Indeed. I didn't mind at all going to the office the first many years of my career, where I always had a private office with a closing door.

But with open offices, I'll do everything I can to never be there.
Was excited but didn’t find Vagabond. Does anyone have a suggestion of something they do have if Vagabond is really my only toe dipped in manga?
The printers unusually can create barcodes and some of them also QR codes.

But it is also possible to print images. You can also configure them as standard printers and print via any common printing system (cups, windows spooler, …)
So.. you have invested enormous amounts into a fully automated three+ server solution with a lot of moving parts, to essentially replace putting a HTML file onto a linode bucket and creating an A record to it?

Don’t get me wrong, you seem to have done a fantastic and heavy job here but I can‘t see a lot of people using this to be quite honest.
> I’m thinking of a construction PM.

The construction we've seen recently had a PM, and they were on the site about 20-25% of the time. Parts of their job can be and should be done in an office (or from home), but I can't imagine that they wouldn't visit the site regularly while keeping the quality and the schedule goals...
An easy way is to stream the backups to tape, and have someone swap the tapes. Typically people who do this take the recorded tapes offsite, but to prevent against an electronic attack it’s adequate to have the removed tapes even in the same room, just not in the tape drive.
I grew up using windows running the "classic" interface. It's really no different from any other GTK based app.
Interesting, I did not remember that it was once called Gaim.
presumably, a lot of technical info has been coming out of Apple (and hopefully like minded companies) re vetting of chips, mobo, OS-built security, T2 chip encryption etc.

Vs. the modular stuff - I'd be more confident if security was part of the norm, but I don't get the feeling it's a priority on the like of a lot of 3rd party vendors like Asus or Gigabyte etc.
I just exclusively started having anal sex with dudes. It works wonders for preventing pregnancy and I usually don’t even need to buy them dinner first.
> Gould is generally acknowledged as a hack who sold out by telling people what they wanted to hear in exchange for book sales.

It’s funny you should say that. Because I generally regard the authors Gould is addressing in his book Mismeasure of Man, including S.G. Morton, C. Murray, A. Jensen, etc. as hacks that used questionable scientific means to tell people what they wanted to hear—namely the superiority of white men—in exchange for book sales.
Of course it's about power. If the answer is "we can't recover your account by security policy", speaking to someone who believes you isn't going to help you (and in many cases, this is a good thing, as tricking account recover techs is something scammers are good at).
There are financial mechanics that exist only in the scope of DeFi and not in traditional finance. It actually IS new in a lot of ways and skilled folks are teaming up to make a killing, not just experienced traders. Take a look at what's happening in the "MEV" space. None of this existed in traditional finance.
Too bad nothing still beats SequelPro usability and SequelAce somehow doesn't feel like its predecessor.

TablePlus is good enough for daily use but not too good like data/definition button is way low and small to click on and those minor annoyances but at least it can interact with plenty of DB that I don't need to switch apps for different DB.
Annoying adapters for all my normal junk, but various USB-C "hubs" solved those (there are many different ones, but most are the same chip inside, but for old USB mice, etc it doesn't usually matter).
Finally an episode of SoBC where Nelson ends up blindfolded, kidnapped and taken to a black ops site? /s

Former here, too, I found it part of "big company" overhead. Had similar things many years ago at a different European based employer.
1. Odigo & web based chats

2. ICQ

3. Trillian & QIP, mostly to connect to ICQ

4. Facebook chat

5. Google Hangouts, Allo, gmail chat

6. Back to Facebook Messenger because all my contacts use it, Slack for work
My thoughts are -

1. Less distractions (no Youtube, social media, etc..)

2. Games were simpler

3. The games produced probably weren't that good
“ Sorry but try as it might the Babylon Bee is just not funny.”

should add a ‘to me’ at the end. It’s extremely popular.

Realizing that one is in a bubble that has definitions of what is and is not funny is the first step to understanding a neighbor :)
Great app. But development was hostile to new users willing to help report bugs. It was then I learned of the "if you can't fix it, then don't complain" crowd of OSS.
If your point is that a.out support makes kernels worse for everyone else, you can simply compile it out and it will not affect you.

The issue is keeping the code in tree. Its inclusion doesn’t affect the quality of the kernel, its just a maintenance burden.
Unfortunately, we are left with the problem that it can be very hard to tell the difference between a bribe and a grease payment. The latter are an unfortunate reality that companies can't realistically function without--and not just in the third world.
You might be surprised to learn that most of these people have no interest in working for you either.
No I think actually most guys would prefer not to pay child support, but sure, let’s blame men for everything anyway in a thread about contraceptive options.
If I'm not mistaken, unlocking the doors is half the exploit. The vehicle can also be started which..means you just drive it away. This is very dangerous and crazy if true. 300 Bucks for tools is nothing -
Bureaucratic Psychosis
I'm a fan. It has great battery life, has more heft than I expected.

The second day I had it we went to my mother-in-law's new apartment building. Her call button wasn't working to let people into the building, so I asked if I could try to copy her FOB since we needed to get some things from our car and boom, it worked just like that.

Also had some fun mucking around with raw NFC and emulating them. Took a bit of tinkering, but it was pretty cool to see it work.

The #sub-ghz channel on Flipper Zero's discord blew up a little bit today with this news. So far though, the couple us with affected model years according to this CVE have been unable to reproduce. FCC ID matches. The precise frequency was added to a modified firmware, and we are using FSK modulation, but still no luck.
Application Layer Attacks Can Defeat DDoS Protection
How different is "comprehensibility" from "epistemic legibility"?

Comprehensible arguments are easier to argue with, and favoured by rhetorics.
That was a wonderful glimpse into their museum. Given how rare the Soviet era computers became, there may be some truly irreplaceable losses from this. I hope they can rebuild this eventually.
It’s not just semantics when you change my argument from “we can talk about the negative/more complex sides of a person in an obituary” to “I should be able to ‘dunk’ on someone in an obituary if I feel the need to.” You are misstating my intention in an effort to make my position seem less reasonable than it is.

Your description was off by a large margin, it wasn’t just semantics.

I do agree this discussion probably isn’t going to be fruitful though, so have a nice weekend.
If anybody is defending burning down small businesses as part of BLM, I can promise you they're in the vast minority.
Games were simpler, computers were simpler.
It appears to me those are the types the functions expect to consume and output when used in a pipeline.
There's an industry standard (?) for Digital Keys:

* https://carconnectivity.org

* https://carconnectivity.org/digital-key/

Perhaps moving to that will help with security since everyone won't have to re-invent the wheel. (Of course implementation bugs are still possible.)
they did it for passion
Weird comment. I don't understand why the price you pay makes a difference. Someone could be exploited even if the price was $100. Location doesn't matter either, people are exploited all over the world.
> You would save the records for deductions or business expenses or whatever as a bookkeeping measure - and as a tax precaution, yes - even if you were not expecting an audit. Audits are fairly unusual

I think you are just repeating original comment here. Regular people in regular situations will never need their old utility bills for tax purposes.

Those choosing to e.g. run a business, pick up various extra responsibilities in doing so. In that case it’s absolutely your own responsibility to maintain good records, and you should print electronic invoices if you so desire.

If you run a business and are using your utility bills as a basis for deductions, you’d have to be stupid to not safely store them (digitally or physically).

Paper invoices should be opt-in, not opt-out. Very few people actually require them.
I look at the enrollment problem on Zigbee networks and similar things and it's hard for me to resist the conclusion that the most practical architecture is to have a private key in the hub and a private key in the device and have these authenticate against a central server and have the central server give them both a shared key -- as much as people hate the central control, lack of interoperability, etc.
Sometimes people just don't have enough marketing skills or don't want to promote products but they might have a great potential to make a revenue. In this case, you're right, focus on profit is a great to have to attract buyers.
Isn't the insurance payout the proceeds of crime?

Since shooting at the FBI(a crime) is in the causal chain of events leading to his estate receiving a payout of money, the estate should forfeit that payout.
Well, you can literally print a firmware on some printers, and it will install it. Not sure what's worse
If I want to run these binaries on my daily driver, it’s much easier if I don’t have to start up a VM. I want the latest Linux kernel on my daily driver for hopefully self-evident reasons.
I would take a look at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Using_Your_Own_Backends_to_Print.... Going off a quick glance at the code examples, I think it might be fairly straightforward to hook into CUPS. https://github.com/jsmeix/cups-backends also has some useful looking tools.
wow! this is amazing, thanks
Wouldn't people be more likely to see something in the news on a day when they're not busy with work?
From the article: "His wife and sister provided written consent for the surgery."

Any of it good?
The definition of liquidity is something like "the ease with which buyers and sellers can transact at transparent, stable prices".

If no-one wants to buy a thing at any price, it is - by definition - illiquid. The notion that something for which there is no demand can be liquid is strange.
Effortless is not the issue. A clear sensory indication that you actually pressed the key is what's important. Yes, a quiet electronic keyboard takes less finger movement and less finger effort--but the effort for the mechanical isn't enough to matter and the mistake rate is a lot lower.

One of those soft electronic keyboards--say, the one on my laptop--and I don't dare think while my hands are on the keyboard.
I am so sorry for this off-topic comment, but I really need to thank you for showing me - an European - why Trey Parker and Matt Stone created Terrance and Phillip xD
just need an oven with good temp control. there is this lovely bronze color you can get on stainless.its strangely alot more stable than color you get from heat treating mild steel...but i bet it would rub off if you used it a nontrivial amount
Thank you. For clarification is that same code segment from real mode sort of automatically "remapped" then to a descriptor in the GDT after CPU transitions into protected mode? Is that correct mental model?
Yeah, it's a pain, but after three or four times buying "high end" yumcha cables from Amazon I finally went to a real store and got a real cable.

Similar spec ones from Best Buy, etc also worked.
With a camera in the roof pointed at it that OCRs the most recently stabbed ticket and automatically marks it as 'done' with any comments you hand-wrote onto the slip of paper.
I would rather think hard about all possible easier pivots before thinking about a whole new career because I feel stuck. If your father were pushed by his passion for programming, then I could advise differently, but that does not seem the case.

Can't you both think about creative ways to leverage his decades of experience as a top manager? Could it be that he is stuck in an employee's mindset and that's the true differentiator against your success? If so, why not help him in switching mindset instead?

If everything else fails, then - sure! - why not go for the programming route... Becoming proficient at programming takes lots of time, but he would have the advantage of your mentorship. And as for our industry's ageism, screw it! I would just team up, be the "young face" of our duo and customers would be none the wiser about 50% of their software being written by a geezer. Oh, well... that's what I would if I were young.

Good luck ;-)
If Football was a game of perfect information, you wouldn't have trick-plays like false-punts or false-field goals.

The fact remains: you can hide the football and obscure its location. You can position your line in such a way that makes it look like you're going to punt, but in actuality do something different with the ball.

Not everyone sees everything. If the quarterback truly saw everything on the field, the quarterback would never get sacked.
Supabase Launch Week IV
I really wish that Apple was able to find some resolution to the macOS/GPLv3 problem. As developers, of course we all use Homebrew or MacPorts and whatnot, but there's no way that the increasing divergence from the standard Linux shell experience is a good thing for beginners.
The video's worth a watch! It's really interesting to hear him talk about the history of the various machines, especially with respect to Eastern Bloc economies/culture.

Sad that the museum is gone now, though!
Although I am not really familiar with Android Development, I got it to work like this:

- decompile using apktool

- make changes

- recompile apk using apktool

- zipalign apk

- sign apk (using the apksigner.jar) with a certificate

Tools like uber-apk-signer really help to do the last three steps
The reason to re-encrypt and inject the bridged messages into Matrix is that they are then persisted serverside in a standard e2ee manner, which you can then get at from any client that speaks Matrix (or is bridged in turn to Matrix) without that client or bridge having to know anything about the original network.

So, in pidgin, you are stuck with pidgin’s UX whether you like it or not in order to access the remote network (unless you use a different multihead client). Whereas with a matrix bridge, running either serverside or clientside, you can then connect to the bridged conversations using any UX you like (of which there are now hundreds of Matrix apps of different flavours). Moreover, each chat’s history gets decentralised across any other Matrix servers whose users are participating in that conversation.

The architecture is more like bitlbee, for those who know it - but using Matrix rather than IRC as the protocol between the client and bitlbee, so the richness of the comms is preserved (rather than flattening everything to IRC).
To be clear, this is not (just) a matter of ethics. If true, these acts are in violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Each violation can be up to 5 years in prison.
A mirror is an object that reflects an image / light / photons. There are mirrors with different reflectiveness and different construction. In the video the prof says they are using a "highly reflective nanostructured mirror", so it's obviously not exactly your silvered glass bathroom variety mirror, but in principle it's the same: a surface that reflects almost all photons, and absorbs or transmits almost none.

The box is also not necessarily like your average shoe box, I'd guess it's much smaller (millimeters), show it's not shown on the video directly, up close.
Please, please, function keys on the left! Nobody's interested in them anymore--but they're still useful for some of us. I can reliably touch-type function keys on the left, I can't with the ones above the keyboard, and when they need to be in combination with other keys also it's even more of an issue.

I have never seen a keyboard as good as the old Northgate Omnikey Ultra. Please resurrect the king!
Could rig up a switch somewhere inside the car near the driver's seat pretty easily. I had an old motorcycle with some kind of electrical issue that would drain the battery if I left it off for more than a day at a time.

But instead of spending days and weeks chasing it down, I spent maybe $30 on a battery cover with a little hidden flip switch. It was originally designed for turning on (illegal in my state)under lights, but I modified it slightly and had the switch connected to the ground terminal instead, so whenever I got off the bike I'd flip the switch and boom, problem solved, no more dead bike.
Although not a tangible as what you suggest, there already is a trend in modern board gaming to have app-assisted games, usually to manage hidden state and real-time elements, and primarily in cooperative games. A couple examples are Space Alert, X-COM and Mansions of Madness 2e.
> They are asking for endpoints and public APIs

How will they interface with the different APIs ? Or is it a single API defined by a standard ?

The first one means that most clients will play “whack a mole” with 20 APIs, trying to keep up with features. The second will be the lowest common denominator, limiting what can be sent between different clients. It would be the new “green bubble”.

Next, how do you identify people uniquely across different networks ? Phone number ? Email ? What happens if you’ve registered your Id in multiple places ? Or is it up to the sender to specify which network they wish to target ? Like someone@gmail.com@imessage ? The last one solves nothing. In case of multiple id registrations, should the network just keep trying round robin until it successfully delivers ? Or can I as a recipient register my preferred delivery network in case I never want Meta or Google to see my data ? Who maintains this central registry ? Will they do it for free ?

Now that we’ve established how to pass messages between networks, how do we secure them ? Do we use the iMessage model and use a central key repository ? Or do we implement a protocol (potentially per API) on how to acquire encryption keys ? Or do we simply skip encryption because security is hard ?

What about attachments ? Since most secure platforms use “per device” encryption, do we just send a 500GB attachment X times, one per device ? Do we limit the size of attachments ? iMessage solves this by encrypting it with a temporary key, and the attachment is then uploaded to Apples servers, and the temporary key is exchanged using normal messaging. Is that the way forward ? Will whoever handles it do it for free ? Do we trust them ?

What about Memoji/whatever the kids use ?

All of the above, and more, needs to be agreed on by all involved parties, which sets the lowest common denominator, either by a shared standard, or by reducing functionality for cross network messages. If it ends up complex enough to support all the features of modern instant messaging, it sets the bar rather high for new players. If it ends up simple, we have gained almost nothing over using SMS/MMS.

Things are never as simple as just exposing an API.
Rust for Linux by Miguel Ojeda and Wedson Almeida Filho – Rust Linz, March 2022
I'll admit it's pretty hard to replace the in-person events. I am in some slack and discord communities, and I've done a couple of online conferences. I really used to enjoy presenting at meetups and was very upset to have had to turn down an invitation to an in-person conference this fall because of covid. Virtual talks and meetups aren't really the same, but they are what I've made do with in the short term.

I'm not much for traditional online games, but I know some friends who have used that as a more natural way to do online socializing. I've done some online D&D and have found that is better than other kinds of online meetups for socializing, because it gives you enough space to have conversations and chat, but still gives you enough of a focus and it just feels less exhausting than other kinds of online meetups- the tools are really good these days too.

supposedly it was developed for remote areas. Hard to tell if there's something special about where it was deployed....maybe the notion of remote has to be still close to wired basestation hubs.
I've purchased used laptops that weren't wiped, and found fairly elaborate tax documents and other identifiable info on there that I could easily have abused.

I'm not a douchebag, so I just wiped the disk and didn't do anything with it, but I suspect that there must be an entire industry of people buying used computers or hard drives on Ebay and stealing data off there.
I was very interested in ESG until I saw that pretty much all ESG funds had Facebook in the top handful of holdings. Because they're easy on the environment compared to an aluminum smelter, and somehow destroying democracy around the world doesn't count as a social or governance issue. I've changed my focus to owning shares via funds that will vote my shares with some sort of conscience. (Vanguard is the rock bottom on that metric, btw.)

The intent of OBD-III is to use some kind of wireless mechanism to notify the state that your check engine light is on. In California, for instance, you have to pass a smog check every six months, so people driving four months with a failed emission control system are contributing a lot of emissions.

It's been hung up forever because of privacy concerns, fears about rent seeking (being forced to buy a cell phone plan for your car), etc.

These sort of applications

https://www.nhtsa.gov/technology-innovation/vehicle-vehicle-...

are also hung up indefinitely because the cell phone industry is pushing "secure" solutions that involve cellular infrastructure but not promising to invest enough in their network to cover all the places you might want them. That and the rent seeking, privacy, etc.
We actually launched Azuki a while before this project started!
I don't really know. If it can't work without advertising then maybe it shouldn't exist in the first place.
As far as I can tell this exclusively applies to self-employed people, i.e. someone running a business from their home.
