As someone also with bad eyes, everyone else going to LEDs has been a huge hindrance to my driving confidence at night.

The light your own car produces will always be only a tiny fraction of the illumination you see when driving because you only see the subset of it that gets reflected back by the road and other objects. But the headlights of other cars shine directly in your eyes.

When I drive at night now, I see mostly harsh headlight glare surrounded by inky blackness.

I think it is Surface envy. The iPads are just not very capable in productivity scenarios and Macs are not very flexible. So, if you want a touchscreen device for leisure and a productive device work work, you end up with two machines with very similar specs on the inside. It does not make a whole lot of sense, but it is the state of the Apple ecosystem. Now, Microsoft has a whole bunch of other problems (mainly around reliability) that make the Surface a bit of a mess. But, they do seem to have the right form factor for modern computing.

Reminds me of the Pablo Picasso story that went something like so...

---

"A woman approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble a drawing on a napkin for her to have, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, 'That will be $10,000.'"

“[Women] But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied.

“No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”
This is silly. I don't think instituational investors such as Vangard would take what he said in the TED interview literally "Doesn't care about the economics at all". He has said that about Tesla indirectly and it is one of the most extraordinary companies ever.

What he meant is he wants to build a great product.
I've been wondering lately why hasn't someone just built an open source version of it. It would be less buggy and more up-to-date than anything a corporation could build. It would also create the incentive to eventually get rid of the industry all together
> Digg -> Reddit

For the record, Reddit had more traffic than Digg for many years before V4, it's just that Digg had more Windows users running the Alexa toolbar, so it was ranked higher.

We (reddit) visited Digg a little while before their V4 disaster and discovered (to the surprise of both teams) that our traffic was double theirs. Turned out most Digg users were also reddit users, but not the other way around.

The definition you cite: "application programming aims to produce software which provides services to the user directly (e.g. word processor), whereas systems programming aims to produce software and software platforms which provide services to other software" seems to me to be too broad to be of much use in the context of modern software engineering.

By that definition just about any software that doesn't include a UI could be considered "systems software", but I suspect most backend web developers don't consider themselves "systems programmers".
> In the United States the tax code is a lot more complex.

what do you think OP was talking about? they are keeping it complex on purpose.
Same here. I couldn't get their discount codes to work this year and the IRA Worksheets seem to be broken now.
The DOA proposals like these impose part of their costs-- pushing successful businesses, wealth parties, and those who hope to someday be-- away from the state, without actually providing any benefit since they don't pass.

As you note: it certainly will not pass. I wouldn't have posed that rhetorical question for a 'innovative' law that had realistic prospects of passing.

And die? Who said die? The hyperbolic proposals cause harm without providing a benefit to the public. Sure, it's not going to kill the economy. But it's not arguably in our interest to antagonize the economy with over the top proposals that won't fly.

Plus there are plenty of problems the legislature could be solving. ... DOA legislation is a distraction and takes time away from more realistic proposals.

> Don't like the government in California? Go to another state. Don't like that businesses are leaving your state? Vote for someone else.

Expressing unhappyness with the actions of the legislature is very much a part of that process.

App Store says Birda isn't available in my country or region. (USA). Hmm.
I had my parents stay on a landline until very recently because services like nomorobo are free and trivial for me to set up and manage remotely as well as those landline phones have built-in block lists in a way that they already know how to use. Thankfully my mother has become tech savvy & is naturally suspicious and my dad doesn't answer any calls if there's not a contact for them as has been drilled into him.
I wish that Voip service for the elderly and disabled was free (there are some limited discount programs but it is not the same) and would be set up with nomorobo or a similar free for landline product. ISPs have erroded the home phone line to a sad shadow of what it was. e911 service is a critical thing to have for people who are older and/or have medical problems. Cell phone 911 service is not the same quality and will not have the same response times for most in the US especially in rural areas.

Did this happen to you ? Because frankly that hasn't been my experience at all. I've probably went through 40 pills in 5 years and it was always a great way to get through crunch time, prep for big days, wave off bad sleep days, etc. But I never felt the need to use it day-to-day - it would probably mess with my sleep and I would likely develop a tolerance.

For me - there is no effect other than not feeling tired and being able to focus really well. It's not even feeling rested because physical aspects of fatigue still kick in (eg. back pain from sitting long, eye strain, etc.)

Caffeine is probably worse because I get hard withdrawals symptoms after I get off (light migraines first couple of days and generally tired) - I don't really notice anything different after taking modafinil and getting proper rest.
My reading of all of that is that "regulated" would have absolutely been understood as meaning "subject to regulation by proper authority" at the time of the Constitution's drafting. The Framers would have considered the states to be the proper authority, and thus the Second Amendment prohibits Congress from interfering in the states' ability to organize militias.
Super cool and simple test! One nitpick is the author says the following:

> "Black is the default shape colour for SVGs, so the fill attribute can be omitted entirely, as per the source SVG."

This isn't entirely true, as there's a specificity difference between having the attribute and not having it. I'm not sure which is the "right" approach though for a design tool. If this were purely a svg command line tool, I'd expect there to be no additional metadata, but considering this is the export from a design tool, I'm not sure what the right approach is. When you export something you often want it to look exactly as it is on the canvas, not to dynamically change color if there's a `fill` css declaration somewhere up the chain. Both Sketch and Figma* look like they've made the decision to go with consistency of visuals rather than consistency of meaning.

Very impressed with Sketch here in how accurately it preserves the precision, but disappointed it's exporting with non-unique IDs. Illustrator feels like it's doing a very Adobe thing - two different ways of doing something in the app results in either the best output or the worst output. Figma I'm disappointed transforms the rects into paths. This feels like it's optimizing for the general case rather than what the best output might be. I'll lump XD into the same category here with their transform hack for positioning. Not a fan of either.

* Disclaimer: I work for Figma.

> I think you just recreated what the USB Forum is already doing?

If they were doing this then there wouldn't be any ports described as "USB 3.1" (see point 4). The version of the standard is not just irrelevant but actively misleading to use in marketing material.

> Marking the port type is redundant because USB has been good about giving every port type a very different physical silhouette.

On the port itself, sure, but if I'm buying a laptop online then it's pretty important what type of port it has, so saying "USB C T2" is a lot more useful than just "USB T2". How would I even know what silhuette the port has?

The two most important pieces of information are the type of port and the transfer speed. There are only a small number of possibilities for each, and the latter is a purely numeric value, so a letter/number pair is sufficient.
If you are all-in on the Apple ecosystem you can get unlimited aliases with Apple's "Hide My Email" system.
The context here is that Axie was using a "proof of authority" blockchain, which is controlled by a predetermined set of signers. This is already very bad because it makes them a custodian of the money on the chain. Worse, they used it in a very insecure way where they held a majority of the keys on one server.

So, not only did they call an effectively centralized server a "blockchain", they also acted deceptively about the number of centralized custodians on that multisig, by pretending there were 9 entities when there was only one.

Most likely, the underlying code was audited as being secure when used by a larger group of independent validators. If there were 20, it would be very hard to compromise them all. The code that was broken was probably some other dumb utility on the server that got hit by a regular privilege escalation vulnerability or something.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that DMCA anticircumvention didn't apply to fair use of protected content. That's to say that it would probably be fair use to circumvent DRM, say, if a journalist wanted to include a short clip from a Netflix special as part of their reporting.
> The nonexistence of a national ID system makes digital identification unnecessarily difficult.

You can thank the Christians in the Reagan years for calling damned near everything "The Mark of the Beast", including social security numbers, attempted creation of a national ID, and more.

So we ended up with a de-facto national ID, being a hodgepodge of state IDs, RealID, SSN, credit scores from multiple (horrific) credit vendors, legal records, and plenty more.

I suspect interoperability is fundamentally at odds with ad-driven business models.

When your business is run on ads, you are essentially serving users a mixture of information they do want to see (content) and don't (ads). If your system must allow interoperability, then it's inevitable that a competitor will come along and separate out the content from the ads to give users the experience they want, but killing your business model as a consequence.

I am glad there are still desktop versions where I can keep the software indefinitely and keep my data offline. I’ll go back to pen and a desktop calculator before I use a web app.
It’s amazing and alarming how much Covid theater continues to this day.

I was recently on vacation where every restaurant i walked into required me to spray hand sanitizer. No masks, just hand sanitizer. And nobody even bothers to ask why we’re still doing this. Incredible.
Not everyone has bought into surveillance culture? I have an overwhelming preference for local software that I can prevent from backhauling my personal information into the permanent records of data silos. This goes doubly for non-mandatory services that tend to have shameless contracts of adhesion falsely purporting consent for such abuse.

FWIW TurboTax is eminently easy to pirate and crack to get state filing functionality. Network isolate the VM after you get the updates and state forms but before you start inputting data, and you can rest easy that no personal data is being exfiltrated. There's no need to support these regulatory capture parasites.
Weird caveat, but I wonder about the legality of this in various jurisdictions. In my own state in the US, it is generally illegal to record audio without consent. There are various interpretations of this, and probably putting a sign up saying "audio recording in progress" is enough, but it's worth considering.

To be clear, even private, indoor security cameras are not allowed to record audio in my state, though few people realize this. Security camera websites and software do nothing to make this obvious.
My post does give the tone of malice, and certainly what I was thinking about while writing but not my intention. But I do recognize there are "good reasons" why it should be manipulated as well.

If that’s what they were going with sure. I guess it could have been any random computer repair shop in any state, but how often do you take your MacBooks to get repaired at some random place when visiting your parents, and leave them there since you live in LA anyways?

On the other hand, it’s such a shoddy setup I doubt any half way decent intelligence agency would plant the laptop there. But maybe blind computer repair people just aren’t that common?
Debugging a deploy job (stage) from a feature branch via an env variable.
This is one of a recent run of hilarious attempts to claim that anti-conservative bias on social networks (or alternatively, enforcement of left wing orthodoxy), doesn't really exist at all. This one is especially entertaining for the pretzel-like contortions the authors go through.

> it’s become a key part of “the narrative” that social media websites have an “anti-conservative bias” in how they moderate. As we’ve pointed out over and over again there remains little evidence to support this.

From the study they're linking to:

> We then investigated potential political bias in suspension patterns and identified a set of 9,000 politically engaged Twitter users, half Democratic and half Republican, in October 2020, and followed them through the six months after the U.S. 2020 election. During that period, while only 7.7% of the Democratic users were suspended, 35.6% of the Republican users were suspended

It literally shows Republicans getting suspended at drastically higher rates than Democrats but, according to TechDirt, there is no evidence of any anti-conservative bias anywhere. It's just a fantasy. Because, see, social media platforms aren't biased against conservatives, just people who are 'wrong' about politics, which is totally different! The study is exactly the kind of ideologically biased pseudo-science that makes the social sciences such a laughing stock. It's just a giant exercise in circular reasoning. Because social networks don't literally say they're banning people for ideological reasons, nobody is banned for ideological reasons. That's the study, in a nutshell.
mentioned this in another comment but my use case is mostly not wanting to spend a lot of time setting up a dev environment on a machine i rarely use for programming. in my case, sometimes i like to do my code reviews in bed and/or in an emergency be able to quickly access my env prod.

it's mostly a novelty to ':0' at but i'm sure it's useful for showing people how to get started. i could easily see an intro workshop making use of gitpod and advertising it as a platform agnostic beginner course!

>> On the estore specifically there’s a lot of low quality shovelware.

This hasn’t changed much since the NES days.

That AVGN made his career reviewing - to start - shitty NES games, indicates that the ‘Nintendo Seal of Quality’, or it’s ‘curation’ - really didn’t matter much.

And it’s not like the NES was alone, even more recently, the Wii was the literal king of shovelware - if you haven’t heard the story of ‘Gingerbread Ninja’ and it’s related clones hilariously sold as different titles, you should check it out.

Re-reading, I definitely mis-spoke: I meant I've spoken about a government provided email system, as IDs are standard almost everywhere except perhaps the UK. Yes, I do agree that the problems with a central ID are solvable instead of the insanity of the US system.
The tax code is particularly complicated – and then there are multiple states to worry about. It would be difficult for a single person to do this. Not impossible, maybe there are some CPAs which are also software engineers. Once the project becomes big enough, maybe more people would help.

The problem is then: are they shielded from liability? If there's a mistake and people sue, they won't have Intuit's lawyer army.

But let's say we have the perfect program. Would people be OK with printing out and mailing their returns? Because you have to be an authorized provider to e-file.
In many cases, the first step in "how to solve the issue" is "who is responsible for this?"
