That’s funny. If I loved bees and was obsessed with them, I’d have done the same thing this bee-hating developer did.
I think the point is that the built-in ports on your computer might support any combination of a large number of possible features, and that it is difficult/expensive to make a hub that supports all of them, and people would hate a hub that happens to not support one particular feature that their computer’s built-in ports support.
I don't need dozens of watts per port. I'm not trying to charge my laptop. I just want to power e.g. a spinning-rust 2.5" external USB hard drive. Which USB ports are able to do at their default line voltage, pre USB-PD negotiation; but which these "data transfer only" USB-C hubs cannot do for some reason.
because you can move faster and explore you problem domain cheaper and validate your solution earlier.
then, if you "struck gold" and happened to arrive to some product market fit, then even if you would need to rewrite big chunks of your solution, to swap out your persistence layer, you have a solid specification to follow, which is your sqlite-based implementation!

such a rewrite is a lot more predictable endeavor, then building the initial solution, that it's a great problem to have :)

meanwhile, your UI don't have to change and a lot of your other glue code or business-logic code don't have to change either, IF you haven't hardcoded direct calls to SQLite everywhere in your program :)

eg. I used HoneySQL with great success!
My queries are safely assembled from Clojure data structures and I had a single function, which I used to format them to the desired SQL dialect H2DB/SQLite/MySQL/Postgres, execute them and parse the results back into Clojure data structures and even take care of lazily paginating through long result sets, without burdening the consumer of the data with such details.

The customer is used to being able to plug all of their stuff into a lot standard wall outlet and their headphones in any standard 3.5mm jack so it's not at all surprising that they don't automatically provide all the specs. And frankly customers shouldn't have to care. USB engineers and PMs completely botched the design of USB-C.
Hardware firewalls provide some protection against the kinds of threats XP faces. More to answer your question; I'm running the latest available versions of Windows 10. I sometimes use FF 56 for its consistency in behavior, XPI addon support (NoScript and uBlock still function), customizable UI, and for critical tasks (banking (affected by the Cloudflare problem)). I use FF 90+ for daily driving, and I despise it.
I don't think it's weird, if the business is deteriorating then getting laid off is just a financial decision. The personal choice of being the target should be up for self reflection anyway (and will be, I suspect). Maybe it helps a little if your boss adds a reason but you should really know the reason anyway.
I guess it depends on what stances the DA has on civil liberties issues (vs their likely replacements).

The game-theory problem is: unilateral disarmament is a recipe for losing in today's political world. If progressives choose not to use the tools available for them to exercise power, you can be sure that conservatives won't make the same mistake. Could one convince conservatives to give up a supreme court seat? Because that's an entire branch of government (and perhaps the most powerful) that is likely to be controlled by conservatives for the rest of our lifetimes. Likewise, the Senate awards outsized power to rural states; what are the odds that conservatives would agree to a more equal representation? That they would vote for a federal ban on gerrymandering? Historically conservatives have been more strategic at preserving their political power; it's hard to see how we overcome many of the current dysfunctions the US is facing.

Disagreeing with me doesn't make you a Nazi. In the case of Tucker Carlson (whom I was referring to), spreading Nazi propaganda (eg [1]) is what makes him a Nazi. I don't mean he's a Nazi as a perjorative. I mean, quite litearlly, he's a Nazi.

The Third Reich had cultural Bolshevism [2]. Now we have other popular figures like Jordan Peterson arguing "cultural Marxism" [3]. It's completely different I'm sure.

If you suffer through Tucker's screed, he basically argues that black people are inherently violent. black people are inferior to real (ie white) people and that they're being manipulaated and used by George Soros against "real Americans". Replace "George Soros" with "the Jew" and you have an almost word-for-word translation of Nazi Germany propaganda.

Highest rated show on the highest rated "news" network by the way.

This isn't hyperbole. The normalization of Nazi views and fascism is terrifying and real. It's this same propaganda that has convinced people that there even is an extreme left in US politics.

I've done San Francisco to Hong Kong to Bangalore, then back via Frankfurt to SFO, but that's not fully around the world, and neither was your route, because we didn't cross the equator or go 20,000 km (earth's circumference), just a Northern Hemisphere smaller circle. A route involving NYC and Aukland is the real thing, and considerably longer.

That impacts me with Apple Maps on occasion: if there’s some road name/id change that is effectively invisible as a driver because I’m still going straight, or more annoyingly when there are roundabouts in my path.
To me, "post-truth" is more an acknowledgement of a state of affairs where multiple parties stake irreconcilable and immutable claims on what is true.

The truth may be obvious to you, but what if there is someone who asserts an incompatible view they claim is the truth? Even if one view is objectively correct, if those who hold the objectively incorrect view steadfastly maintain that is the truth, you're still stuck.

> Those who care about reality and those who care about winning consensus are talking about completely different things.

Sure, but even winning consensus isn't important if you can suppress the opposition and impose your will.

If you're in Russia and you know what's actually happening in Ukraine, it doesn't do you a damn bit of good because Putin's "truth" trumps all others.
Slack and their magic links are probably the most common exposure your users will have to this model.

I can't speak on behalf of them, but I absolutely loathe sites/services that require logging in through email. It's fine if it's just one log-in option, but if a site makes it the only option, it's very likely I will not be using that site. From what I've heard from peers (both tech-savvy people using password managers and less-tech-savvy people confused by the seemingly-random tie-in to their email login), I've never heard anyone actually say they like the flow. In my experience, they very strongly dislike it.

If you're doing it to "increase security", I recommend taking an approach closer to Steam: if someone logs in from a new or unrecognized device, send a code to their email and require them to confirm. It's still intrusive, but way less so since you have to deal with your email way less often.

No, if you read the antifederalist papers, you will find the text from which the bill of rights originated which more clearly show that it is an individual right.

> 7. That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and their own state, or the United States, or for the purpose of killing game; and no law shall be passed for disarming the people of any of them, unless for crimes committed, or real danger of public injury from individuals;...

* The Address and Reasons of Dissent of the Minority of the Convention of Pennsylvania to their Constituents (December 18,1787)

Both the first and forth amendments also use the wording "the people" to refer to an individual right.

Moreover, the militia is and was intended to be every able bodied male.

> (b) The classes of the militia are—

> (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

> (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

But this is what I meant by:

> you can plug USB-A-to-C cables into this hub, and it'd be exactly the same as plugging USB-C-to-C cables into a hypothetical USB-C-replicating hub

I.e., anything you can plug into a USB-C port using a C-to-C cable, you can plug into a USB-A port using an A-to-C cable. So if the problem is idiots thinking "if it connects, it should work" — then wouldn't these same idiots be complaining that their Thunderbolt peripherals, external USB-C monitors, etc. don't work when plugged into one of these simple C-to-A hubs via an A-to-C cable?

But that doesn't seem to stop the C-to-A hubs from existing.

The results aren't very meaningful. Seems like it is relying on self reported fields from sites, which don't make much sense in this context. So far I have found:

- LinkedIn profile results from my own name, all attributed to the 90s and early 00s (before LinkedIn even existed)

- Backdated or incorrectly dated blog posts (most of them on very modern sites)

- Wikipedia articles where the reported date is the release date of the film/book rather than when the article was published

- Results from journals which key on the publishing date of the journal rather than when the site was created

I'd expect a site like this to show me the first mention of a word or phrase on the internet, which obviously seems impossible (though maybe we could at least accurately go back to when we first started large scale indexing).
Yes that's what onomatopoeia is and what fizz/fizzy are.

I am very annoyed by this “improvement”. Don’t know if it’s still like this but for example if I wanted to use PayPay on the we. (payment system owned by the same group), yahoo decides I no longer need a password and makes me turn it off (as part of the payment process) in favor of SMS auth.

Each and every time I use it I have to go to the yahoo settings and the convoluted process of turning sms auth off to go back to a password.

I don’t trust sms auth a bit. My number is probably my weakest link and I don’t want to ever have to rely on it. I’m sure an attacker could just pretend to be me and take it over in no time

I set it back to password and just stopped using their services
Apple Maps directions also has an "alerts only" mode which will shut up completely unless you need to know something urgent (e.g. you are approaching a 60 km/h speed trap and going faster than 60 km/h).

If you have the watch it will gently tap your wrist shortly before each turn, and it displays the turn in a very clear, uncluttered way on the watch screen, which you can clearly comprehend without needing to take your hand off the wheel. I find this is great in rental cars if you have no phone mount nor CarPlay and you want to avoid needing to interact with your phone while driving.
My girlfriend and I have long switched between Apple Maps and Google Maps.

Google Maps' terrible UX has become a joke now. It mentions irrelevant details (e.g. emphasis on compass directions, which no modern person relies on) and uses esoteric language when plain English works (can't remember well, but things like "stay on right of the fork"). It just felt... badly designed, if not amateurish.

Apple Maps is far from perfect, but the cradle feels warmer.

I have tons of empathy, but I won’t coddle strangers on the internet over their dramatic rhetoric. It’s not sincere, it’s polemical, and I’m not buying it. If it is sincere, they need therapy not empathy. Get some perspective on your situation and don’t cry wolf.

Free speech is a social value to be upheld not just by the government but by the larger society and the people that comprise it.

Private companies have the legal right to deny their platform as they see fit, but it is illiberal and censorious to deny it on the basis of viewpoint.

See Mill's "On Liberty" for more.
The most obvious problem, though, is that it seems like you're out of luck on older/new/temporary/public/borrowed/reset/etc devices, which is a big change from just being able to log in wherever you need with just a secure password.
Alternatively, any old existing usb3 hub plus usb-a to usb-c adapters will give you a lot more flexibility.

I finally went ahead & bought a decent quantity of adapters- they're tiny, cheap, and add lots of flexibility. They have helped me consolidate my cable collection significantly while retaining a bunch of charging devices I already had installed.

Once you start trying to layer in usb-pd things get much much more complex. But, as a bus for peripherals, longstanding usb hubs do more than fine.

That’s not the main message. No one cares that iPod touch is being discontinued. No one was buying them.

People see this news as the "end of an era" -- an era that began with Apple's reinvention in the early 2000s. That's the implicit message. There are two ways to interpret this:

1. Wow, what an iconic product. Come to think of it, we haven't really felt that way about a new Apple product in a while... Maybe this is not just the end of iPod, but of Apple's product innovation, too?

2. Wow, what an iconic product. Wild to think that we could only have 1,000 songs but even that was revolutionary. Apple changed music forever and they're still ahead of the industry with products like AirPods and Spatial Audio. I wonder what they'll do next?

Interpretation #1 is a very real risk to Apple’s brand. It's the job of their PR team to steer the message toward interpretation #2.
Democracy requires free speech. So, if you're against free speech, then you're also against Democracy.

What form of government would you prefer? The biggest modern alternate examples are China (I'm guessing you disapprove of their zero covid policy, but your comment is ambiguous), and Russia (which also seems worse than the US according to the criteria I could tease out from your comment).

So, what concrete alternative do you propose?

Couldn't agree more on this, my company is there now. One difficult problem to solve is hiring. This is due to a number of things but one big one is a lack of external validation. When you raise from a known VC you're gaining a stamp of approval similar to having attended a top tier school. When you're selling product and investing profits into hiring that's cool but it's harder to assess from a potential employee perspective.
Don’t do it. You are worth more than money my friend. So what you lost money — yes it sucks (been there) but don’t let that wreck you. You are valuable. You earned the money you lost to begin with, you can do it again. Find peace through God and realize you are so much more that the money you lost. Please, seriously. Seek fellowship with others; don’t give up. You can come out of this dark time better for it. It may not seem that way in the moment, but you will overcome this. You are loved. Pause. Pray. Connect. Then get back to work. At no time in history has opportunity been so available to so many. Get after it friend. You will rise above!
Sorry, I'm a little confused by your post(I didn't follow this story originally and was, um, indisposed when it all happened so I don't know any of the larger social discussions that occured at the time other than a few newspaper articles). I'm was raised by hippies to be a diehard libertarian with a son who has had a lot of judgements and pain in his life because of who he is (and who he is is amazing so f all yall who judge him without knowing him). So this is kind of an existential crisis for me. I'm really really grateful to read all these thoughts.

I was absolutist about individual rights. But this discuss has me seeing that the absolutist view can allow people to be denied basic freedoms too (like how blacks were in the past). Each side is actually advocating for rights in this scenario, no matter which side I take. Before I would say the government can't limit rights, so tough luck to people who have theoretic constitutional rights but can't actually take advantage of those rights because society as a whole denies them to them over something arbitrary (race, sexual preference). Now I'm not sure. Our Government was created to ensure rights are protected from the tyranny of the majority as much as to protect from government tyranny (hence religious freedoms, freedom of speech, etc). This discussion has me seeing that protecting protected classes need a way that they can actually experience the rights given to them by the constitution and that is no different than the government enforcing freedom of religion.

I'm kind of at the point of seeing that past freedoms (to discriminate) resulted in non government imposed limiting of peoples (minorities, those with non-standard sexual preferences) basic freedoms (freedom to travel, be in public life, associate, have the same life experiences as others).

I think you are saying that businesses shouldn't have compelled speech but that the government can regulate business so that protected classes have their basic rights to enjoy/live life actually made available?

Sorry, not trying to be dense, just possibly adjusting some major life long beliefs.
