Yeah, and sometimes it even works!

A LONG time ago now I went kinda all-in on OrgMode in emacs. I'd dabbled with emacs for years (I'm 52) but it never "took" for me as a full-time editor for lots of reasons.

However, my endless search for a proper to-do management tool eventually led me there, because what I really wanted and needed is more or less Org's whole reason for being: being able to intermingle notes and TODO items, and then being able to generate a dynamic "view" of the TODOs from across a corpus of notes.

Most Todo apps I'd tried, including lots of them based on the last big geek productivity obsession, GTD, had only paltry note features. That didn't work for me or my job AT ALL. I wanted One Trusted System, and Org gave me that.

Now, if I was coming to this need NOW I think I'd probably look more closely at linked, syncing tools like Obsidian. You can mimic the "show me my todos" thing with Obsidian, though it's less organic than with Org -- but on the other hand, Obsidian has mobile apps that are very good, and I have yet to find an iOS tool that meshes will with my work style in OrgMode. Obsidian also has a MUCH MUCH LESS ONEROUS learning curve. I love orgmode, but I would absolutely not suggest that most people undertake learning emacs just for a productivity tool. ;)

(I still don't code in it.)

Sure the relative difference between the fastest and slowest approach is 5x. But the absolute difference is still just 125.23 ns. For some perspective, 1 millisecond / 125.23 ns = ~7,985.

There certainly are cases where that slowdown matters. But for the vast, vast, VAST majority of applications, it is completely irrelevant.
It amuses me that I’m implicated in two parts of your comment.

1. I was the first person to use a .rs domain for Rust stuff. I wrote a bit about doing so in https://chrismorgan.info/blog/introducing-teepee/ (heading “Aside: registering .rs domains”). I never finished Teepee, and allowed teepee.rs to lapse (and it hadn’t actually been being used yet, anyway; I would also note that this was from before a lot of the infrastructure we take for granted today existed, including docs.rs).

2. Not every single library has its docs built automatically by docs.rs. For starters, not all crates are on crates.io: some deliberately stick with Git dependencies. But even of things on crates.io, docs.rs will fail to build some, normally due to packager error or some failed FFI linkage (for which the most common solution is to vendor a copy of the foreign library code, either opt-out or opt-in with an instruction for docs.rs to opt in), but it’s possible to deliberately thwart just the building of docs (or even just docs.rs) if you really want to, for which I present another of my transgressions: https://docs.rs/crate/u-plus/latest (source of the prevention: https://git.chrismorgan.info/u-plus/blob/HEAD:/src/lib.rs, lines 4–5).
Twitter doesn't let me DM people who don't follow me because I haven't provided a cell phone number. I refuse to give it, mostly on principle. I send messages very rarely and am clearly not a bot. When did demanding a phone number become OK to access basic elements of a service? This happens even when I try to DM people whose DMs are open.
Yeah for those cases where phone is required I usually put (555)867-5309. They can spam someone else…
You can't fire someone for cause just because your money losing business ran out of money.

Firing for cause is when the employee screwed up, not when the CEO did.
Surely then, we ought to ban pools, wall off access to the beaches and lakes, and generally prohibit human contact with water, as drowning is 100x more likely to kill than school shootings. And any parents of innocent children who have drowned are no doubt incensed by the outcome!

If it was non-public activity, I could imagine a court finding that it is. I could also imagine courts finding using social media activity that doesn't unambiguously indicate intent to commit a crime as part of a firearms background check to be a violation of the 1st and 2nd amendments.

As with most (all?) Android apps, support for permission requires user consent; Camera, "Files and media" and Location are all set to "Not allowed" on my device. From what I can tell based on Microsoft's help page, location may be a requirement of a work/school account and as far as I can remember, I've never been prompted for the location permission - it's possible I denied access if I was, but the app works without it.

From Microsoft's Authenticator help page:

"You will see a prompt from Microsoft Authenticator asking for access to your location if your IT admin has created a policy requiring you to share your GPS location before you are allowed to access specific resources"

18 dead school kids say otherwise. 5 dead kids is a strictly superior result.

I agree. Mass killers will find a way. But if the way they find is a gun, we are looking at 20 to 50 deaths.

If they find a knife or sword instead, it will probably be less than 10 deaths.

Now we have video camera showing that the guy shot the police officer at the school before going on a rampage. Do you think the guy would have been able to attack the police officer (who almost certainly had a handgun) with just a knife?

That Splunk post is a painful read. In my world, Splunk is well-known for being an overly expensive service aimed at sucking money out of enterprise/pre-software-style companies.
I used a combination of WebSockets and HLS so that speakers could be live, and listeners would get the stream via HLS. This was for an audio platform built with Twilio and home-grown HLS proxies using ffmpeg. There was a process where a person could go from being a listener to a call-in speaker--the web client had dual Twilio & HLS clients and could switch. The hosts had a dedicated iOS hosting app that always ran the Twilio APIs. They also had video APIs but we were doing internet call-in radio talk shows.

> Meanwhile, the fork you'll be running is specifically designed to hide sensitive traffic, and collapses all those users into a single version for exploits to target.

Yeah, I was never a fan of their position on this. It's basically "let all websites track you and push ads at you all day long, but we've customized 50,000 settings so that you should look identical to everyone else using the Tor Browser" where as I don't trust that they've managed to cover every possible means to fingerprint a specific user/browser install.

Instead, I prefer to limit the amount of data websites can collect about me in the first place. I harden the browser as best as I can, block all active content by default, block all the ads I can, and I randomize a few little details (like screen and window resolution or user agent) which in total makes me feel better about my chances of avoiding being fingerprinted across sites and prevents most of the vulnerabilities that would cause a person to get compromised just by browsing to a website.

I still love the Tor Browser project though because they're great at spotting things introduced into firefox that would make it easier for you to be fingerprinted, and while I prefer to not give data, or give random data I do understand their reasoning for what they do.
I don't understand why you would need all this stuff, macs just work.
Hey good for you! What did you install, and how did you install it? I did a 4 raspberry pi "cluster" last year, but I couldn't figure out what to run on it after a few test pods, so I disassembled it.
It's complicated. You're basically targeting an optimal team structure on the other side. That means you're likely saving high performers, but that's not always the case.

We had to let a really great UI engineer go because we didn't have the team size to support his position any more. He found a job quickly and we gave recommendations - including clearly communicating it was just an unfortunate draw for him.

Recession happens when all the people who thought they were working on the next big thing realises that they wont be the next big thing, that all the work they put in was just a waste. You can't avoid that by just thinking positive thoughts, reality isn't an optimist and will hit you sooner or later no matter how hard you try to ignore it.

Trying to delay a recession just means all that waste work gets even deeper entangled into your economy, making the recession hit harder and wider.

It isn't really a "personal liability" until there's a good amount of jail term involved.

These A & B is a cheap rhetorical trick, called the false dichotomy, because there's also C which is "you understand that guns save many more people from criminals". On the one side there are 5 thousand of innocents shot every year. On the other side there are 500 thousand of would-be killed and would-be raped innocents who used guns to defend themselves. By banning guns you're playing a demi-god who is deciding which of the two groups of innocents are less worthy, a demi-god who doesn't even care to consider all the facts and instead submits to emotions.
> also me: all OSes should just have ffmpeg preinstalled. so we don't relearn these encoding commands over and over again.

Have you seen what happens when Apple preinstalls a useful open source utility? You're lucky if you get one update per decade. Also, if Apple preinstalled ffmpeg, it's going to be limited to only codecs (and maybe containers?) that aren't going to get Apple sued, probably not even the ones they've licensed for system use, so I hope you like 90s codecs.

It's strictly better for Apple/etc to make it simpler to install MacPorts or fink or brew or whatever other package manager is cool today and let you install that and the packages you like, preferably without requiring xcode, because xcode is big.

While we don't ban beaches and pools, we do require them to be monitored by trained lifeguards! I think we should have reasonable safeguards in place for guns as well.

If we look at the data we can see a significant increase in the last decade, and the mass school shootings are almost exclusively a modern concept from the last 30 years. A question one might ask is then what changed in the USA during those years to trigger this. In addition those factors should be compared to other nations.

We should also look at what prevent school shootings. What in society might protect against a kid going to school with the intention to harm staff or students? A fatal event only occur if there is enough risk factors and not enough protective factors.

My own thoughts go to increase stress in schools as one factor, social media/news focus, increasingly larger difference in social class among students (source for social tensions), a lack of trained psychologists at schools, a culture that focus on individualism. Out of those, tensions from social class would be my primary suspect when asking why say Serbia has less school shootings than the USA.

The benefits of Name of the Day are the same as those for any journaling practice with some added benefits including being easy enough to do in a sustainable way on a daily basis while accumulating into a special and unique picture of one's life.

I started doing this method in 2014 when I was burnt out and bored and so disillusioned by everything that I felt almost as if words themselves had no distinction. Naturally my days felt as blank and indecipherable too. While journaling, I decided to give a unique name to that day. It's written in a physical journal I have tucked away somewhere but from that time on, I've visited and revisited naming my days to add a sense of meaning to my life.

Try this out and let me know how it goes. It can also serve as a fun way of chatting with others, trading what your Names of the Day are to prompt discussion about what happened that day, what you've been into lately, how you're doing, and more.

Sheesh, just get an SSD, clone the HD to it, put it in, and if IT figures it out and you get in trouble, walk. First I wanted to say "Put in a request for an upgrade to better computer, or an SSD" but since it's Siemens it would probably take weeks before they respond.

Alternatively since it has USB 3.1, get a SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD, install an OS of your choice, and boot from it, assuming the BIOS isn't locked.

I'm in the UK, ymmv, but I'm happy with (especially British-grown) 'San Marzano' large plum tomatoes.

Especially in-season they're often in the (great value) 'tomato selection' punnets that at least Waitrose and M&S offer. (The rest are a mix of whatever their buyers found reasonable, typically mostly small cherry and plum.)

I'm absolutely not claiming they're the best, they're not, but the value's great (~£2.70/750g iirc) and there's flavour. Anything cheaper is flavourless crunchy crap IME. (And plenty more expensive too, I don't really understand, but I suppose the unpredictability of what's in the punnet is helpful/a saving to them, so it can be made cheaper to consumer? :shrug:)

The question isn’t if gun owners are a minority, but rather if people unwilling to restrict gun owners are a minority.

For better or worse, people who don’t own guns and have no intention of getting a gun soon still don’t want to limit gun owners or limit their opportunity to own guns themselves.

Yes, gun control is the “easy” solution to gun crime but instead we have chosen the hard and painful solution because the easy way offends our core values. That’s an okay decision to make in a democracy, and different democracies can choose different ways. It’s not crazy.

Furthermore gun laws are getting stricter all the time, just simply to the point where it matches counties like the UK.
