This is a great page, although all of them are also non-free (for non-residents).

Separately, I wonder if there are any university libraries that offer memberships for non-affiliated people. For instance I wonder if I could get library access at CUNY or NYU (or Columbia, etc.) since I live in NYC. In general it feels like there's more of a hassle than there should be for city residents to benefit from city universities even if you aren't a student/faculty.
Fancy zones and the double Ctrl to find the cursor are pretty much essential for me on an ultrawide.
I'm the older brother of identical twins. I can tell you that they can be both startlingly similar and startlingly divergent.

For several years during their childhood, I was the only one in the family (2 adults 5 kids) who could reliably tell the twins apart. They would regularly blame stuff on the other twin. And get away with it.

One ended up as a very-liberal TV producer and the other ended up as an evangelical preacher.
Fancy Zones makes my day-to-day so much more convenient. I wish there was an equivalent in Linux that worked as well - I’ve tried a few gnome plugins but always been disappointed.

Thanx for your comment. Yes, it is the start, only an introduction as mentioned by croes. I will ad a lot about the stack in the next weeks.

> Excuse me, but if placing that link was the actual intention of the post, why not just link to the service itself?

No, that was not the intention of the post. But the colocation is an important part, because Prof. Simon synchronizes the data during traveling with the Pi's located in this edge data centers. I will also write about this part.
I was about to say "because of the maintenance burden and separation of core and extra features" but then I remembered that half the stuff they added since win2k is borderline useless.
I think it’s about turf inside Microsoft.

By keeping little toys like this outside of the main Windows feature set, they stay out of the 500 review and design steps, where any of 5000 people can kill the feature.

There’s a lot of politics too. Something like a unmute button may be “owned” by the liaison to the Teams program management, who in turn want universal unmute to be an Azure service that is incorporated into “Azure Live Office Solutions for Windows (Govcloud) for Business E7”.
> Code that runs slow over pathological input is nowhere near as dangerous as code that goes into an infinite loop over pathological input.

In my experience, these are not actually that different. Even in straightforward web development on smallish data sets, it's pretty easy to write something that runs "fast on my machine" but is so slow on production-sized data that it is effectively infinite.
There's also the YouTube channel AudioLibraryFreeMusic that has a lot of high quality songs that are apparently safe to use, even for commerical use.

I agree, sorry if that wasn’t clear my point was tank as a term showed up early enough that roles weren’t clear. In other words it wasn’t descriptive or prescriptive.

People essentially defined the roles after the term was in use and then used those roles to redefine Tank. Which is fine, but hardly grounds for getting upset over slightly older and more ambiguous definition of the same word.

former googler, I was never able to actually get my friend help through either this tool or trying to find help on various mailing lists. I didn't and probably should have tried memegen.
I'm approaching 40 so I don't really disagree with you, but I do find it fascinating in its own way. I tried TikTok a couple years ago and deleted it after a week. I could tell that it was massaging my brain in the right ways to keep me scrolling and scrolling so that I ended up wasting tons of time in the app, and I didn't like it. The guy from TFA is essentially hijacking the algorithm to help break people free from the endless scrolling and time wasting that's encouraged by the algorithm. I assume he's benefiting from it, of course, but still it's an interesting commentary on the modern world that young people especially have to wade through.

Remember when I was young C programmer out of varsity - immature really.

Wasted a year to port some software over to a new embedded platform but eventually it became a new OS (GOS - named after me obviously) , network stack (RS485 based) with queues , new debugger but it was all so buggy that is crashed more than it ran.

I was so overwhelmed as I kept working on new stuff without fixing existing stuff that eventually a veteran saw me struggling and took me aside and helped me to do a quick and dirty port minus all the crud.

I learned a valuable lesson - yes write good code - but good enough - and know when to STOP and SHIP it.
Oh yes! That would be a very cool project and a real flying Prof Simon - Hope to see some uptimes about it :)

There are a multitude of ways to claim unclaimed money that the government holds. I've used it to claim $15 before, it was easy. https://www.usa.gov/unclaimed-money

This process is not dystopian in the least. It's functioning system put in place by the government to help people.

Political actors can and do seize assets in private banks too. Private banks are also subject to laws.
You haven't posted any evidence. Thanks for admitting you have none: have a good day.
This is the modern interview practice though. Realistically - you’re not gonna pass at most of the companies here in SV when you’re getting leetcode hards on the regular like I am. Without a lot of practice, you’re gonna fail spectacularly.

"Never" is a strong word. Perhaps we will be able to fix those missing faculties in the future somehow. We certainly learnt how to fix many other congenital conditions.

My wife was born with a heart defect that would have killed her 60 years ago. 30 years ago, it was already fixable and now she can live a pretty normal life except for "do not exercise too much". Maybe we will be able to do the same in 2040 or 2050 with people who were born with various mental defects.

I don't think there needs to be any discussion. The 10k programmers living as nomads can get a PO box.

Problem solved. No need to reorganize society for the 0.001%.
Thanks for the judgement -- much appreciated!

On the other hand I was basically non nomadic until about 40 and always discontent. Then for the last few years have been working in different countries and love it. I also try and at least understand and if possible contribute to each culture I encounter in a small way. I'm not sure how that counts as fragmented and purposeless.
Google has had great technical infrastructure and tooling from early on that makes it much easier for them to implement things than the competition. I think they got very very lucky snagging extremely competent early employees as the dotcom bubble was bursting like Urz Holzle, Jeff Dean, and Sanjay Ghemawat that put them on a good path for making and keeping it easy to build things
My surprisingly simple daily routine as a technical founder
I think the problem is that the implementation of the system is outsourced to companies who have more expertise navigating government bureaucracy than actually building good software. All the money gets spent on papers and endless meetings (and maybe passed under the table if not outright handed over if in a jurisdiction where corruption aka "lobbying" is legal) so there isn't much left to pay to attract & retain good talent.

A few months/years down the line, even the sub-par talent working on it will probably realize how terrible their product is, but speaking up would be akin to admitting defeat (and might have career risks), so nobody says anything and congratulates themselves for having "delivered" the project.

When the end client receives the deliverable the same situation applies, it's too late to backpedal even though the product is shit, so they also keep quiet and pretend like it is fine.
Considering the 2nd most used desktop OS is MacOS and you can’t even maximise a window properly out of the box…

The woman who develops Dashy is incredibly talented, and is extremely responsive to issues and pull requests for this project. Take a look at the pipelines she has added to the GitHub repository- it’s almost ridiculous the amount of automation that can be accomplished with them.
Can you explain your claim?

For me, Windows 11 has one of the best window management experiences out of the box, far ahead of MacOS and in line Linux.

The ease of resizing, snapping and tiling windows out of the box is really well implemented in Windows 11 so I really don't get your claim.
"How to make your Windows more like MacOS"

Hopefully Microsoft sees the writing on the wall and includes these in an update, instead of being stubborn and pretending that they have had a reason to exclude them all this time.
You're unlikely to be paid that well if you're a replaceable commodity that went through a standardized hiring process.
I actually think it's bad for an OS to include too many features out of the box. Basically every modern platform has already gone too far in this direction, making computers more difficult for casual users to understand.

Vendors should include only the bare essentials, then let users who want more add their own extras.

Imagine an OS similar to the original Macintosh, or maybe early versions of iOS, but with add-ons that can add features to the global UI. New users have a basic system with easily-understood behaviors, and experienced users can enable the features they need.

In an alternate universe where I believed it was possible to compete with the major vendors, this is the platform I would build...

I wonder if the international anti terrorism / anti money laundering regulations are making that more difficult. For example N26 was under fire for not doing much to verify identities in this regard.

Every time I pay Park Mobile $5/hour for beach parking, it logs me out and wastes 15min of my time dealing with BS.

Ah, fair point. I’d forgotten about the HK / China travel permit bit.

I don’t see it until biometrics and sovereign identity are a thing. The only people who really benefit are really rich people and really poor people. It also creates a dozens of hundreds of truly difficult problems.

In the US, people pitched a fit when the tax authority started requiring facial verification for sign in to access sensitive, vulnerable to fraud records, so it ain’t happening here.

The really rich people don’t really care, and nobody really cares about the really poor. Nobody cares in the least about the elderly. Everyone else has a home and has more to lose to the rampant fraud that happens when you make things like this easier.
For most random websites, it would probably be better to close your account.

As you are using Chrome, you already have a password manager.

Also, since chrome is warning you about these passwords, it obviously knows your passwords - so you are already using its password manager.

Moving forward, utilise the "generate password" functionality.
Capitalism isn't an idea, it's a system that we live within.

Yes, if you care about blame then you can just blame people for bad actions and call it a day. But if you care about actually preventing bad actions then you need to look at incentives, and that's where the study of political economy comes in.
For doing something similar in a browser, klipse supports over a dozen languages - https://github.com/viebel/klipse
Sidenote: McFly does something in that ballpark (for bash)
I believe that the second button in the bottom row, "flags icons", should be the language.

But honestly, after reading the post I thought I would just glance at the picture and see clear indications for "change language" instructions, the same way a proofreader takes moments to find what the writer will just not see until pointed. Instead, it did take me an unexpected amount of time, and I still feel that option as well concealed.
Why did they row in 2 hour shifts 24/7? Why not 4 hours or 6 hours so you can get some longer sleep?
I hardly think people in your own electorate are unrelated to you.

Also this isn't vengeance. It's the norm that the majority of resources should go to the majority of people. This is compounded in this case as the majority will have earned these resources through a lifetime of labor and in addition be the most in need as they are elderly.

How is this bullying?
I don't suppose either of you have considered, you know, bookmarks in your browser ;)? And for tons of services a dashboard wouldn't be my first choice for cataloging/planning anyway, there are other tools for more or less automated planning/deployment/herding. One still often needs to actually know some addresses too just to make use of services in non-web contexts, and a way to have things not break if IPs need to be adjusted. And you still need some way to make sure everything is talking securely. More than one way to do that too but CAs scale pretty well and have decent general support even amongst end devices.

But for a homelab whatever one wants ultimately is fine, whole point is to experiment after all!

Sounds to me like the team needs to be split into 2, perhaps one pod to focus on the strategic work and one pod to do bug fixes and firefighting

I'm sure they can't do that because it makes money laundering trivial. Makes it waaaaay to easy to invent fake people.
I'm not sure. There was a time certainly, when Jobs was alive, where the big bonuses and options grants went to the "disclosure circle".

The truly weird thing here is that

[] + (2,)

is a

TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "tuple") to list

but

L = []
L += (2,)

is totally cool.

In the end, it makes sense because I can't tell you if []+() should be a tuple or a list, and even if I did, I might have a different answer for ()+[]; whereas L+=bla looks like the type of L should not change.
Not really. Close, but in the same way that javadoc is close. Still a different thing.

Features that actually are important: Code can be written in fragments. The output is a program. Fragments can be appended to.

For context: UK businesses are more serious about requiring an official address than the US. In the US, you can just fill in any plausible address. Your parent's house or a friend's house is fine. It used to be important to be able to get mail sent there, but not really any more since you can get everything by email.

In the UK, you frequently have to provide a current tax or utility bill with your name and the address you're claiming, to show that you're the official owner / renter of that address. It's a considerable hassle when moving there.

1pass is my choice because I pay for it. I also like KeePassXC, but the problem I have with the free things is there aren’t quite as many features and development can just stop at any time. KeePassXC for example got started because KeePass devs just abandoned the project effectively. By fewer features I mean like iOS and android apps (though I know KeePassXC has unofficial apps not managed by them).

I just have used 1Pass for a while, maybe 5-6 years, it’s seamless with apps across everything and lots of support and because I pay for it I know there’s a business behind it which for me feels more stable with respect to longer term support.

"You can use powershell" isnt quite the same as asking what the open source world does. Adoption of powershell on Linux/Mac is tiny. If you show up on a random system, it almost certainly will not be available.

It's good to know powershell is cross platform now. Good to know this can be an option. But I'd also say the original question still deserves more exploration & thought, that asking what the romans do in rome is good to know too.

> If a vaccine doesn't prevent infection... well I'll give you that it's still a vaccine. The failure of the covid vaccine to prevent infection

You mentioned the flu and common cold, given that the results of vaccines for both such illnesses are pretty poor, I think it's kinda strange to complain about COVID vaccines preventing illness but not infection. We managed to get results in 18 months on COVID that we couldn't get in 100 years of battling flu and the common cold.

Something is better than nothing.

If we shoot our shot (pun intended) too early so that if we develop a COVID vaccine that also prevents infection (not to mention an universal vaccine preventing infection for flu and classic Coronaviruses) people won't take it...well it only means that you are up against illogic behavior , and when that is the case nothing will help you.

If you did everything perfect in the realm of vaccines that illogic behavior from the population would show up elsewhere such as drinking and driving, poor political choices, unnecessary violence etc. At the end of the day we live in a society and illogic behavior is also a big epidemic.

Having developed a vaccine that costs less than 5$ and prevents serious illness in just 18 months is a huge victory.

You are suggesting we should have not taken this huge W and keep grinding in the hope of getting an even bigger W and I have to disagree with that.

Sea level rise is far from the only impact of climate change that will cause mass migrations. Droughts, floods, changes in growing season, changes in temperature, migration or death of fish populations are some other impacts.

Much of the war in Syria is blamed on a drought, for example. Parts of the world are starting to experience 50C temperatures.
It's a really common term. Odds are if you don't know what a homelab is then you're quite far removed from anyone who would benefit from this.

While I'm completely in favour of having documentation that is explicit, there is a fine line between that and flooding your landing page with super basic content that doesn't help your target audience just so that those who don't need this can understand why they don't need it. If you can't understand why that is a problem then think for a moment who the audience is and why it's important that your content be tailored for them.
