Evil-mode is incredible, for me Emacs with evil is the best vi-derived editor in the world, beating neovim and vim by miles. But as an ex-Vim user and fairly recent Emacs convert I feel like a guest in a clubhouse full of old timers. It wouldn't be right for me to swagger around their domain, demanding they change things up to accommodate me. Evil mode is already a much warmer welcome than I'm entitled to, so what if it takes a line or two to configure? I'm very grateful to have what I have now, I don't need or want Emacs defaults changed.
Of course. Absent recombination, you'd start having ancestors dropping out after only 5 generations. With recombination, it's a few more. I didn't make the argument that way, because when I have in the past, I get a bunch of "yeah, but ..." rebuttal. In addition to the complicated nature of recombination, there is the additional complication that when you get back 6 to 8 or more generations, the same progenitors generally start appearing in multiple branches of your family tree - sometimes in many, many branches. But it is nevertheless the most correct. We all probably have great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents from whom we have no genetic inheritance at all. Add a couple more greats, and it's a near certainty.
Wow this is great. I could have really used some of these examples a few days ago.

Well this is awkward, I'm having difficulty finding the source where I first learned of it. But I have found this nice booklet that collected a fair number of interesting first hand documents.

I'm certainly misremembering details, and can't afford to spend any more time on it now, but I distinctly recall some high level official (premier, governor, chairman, whatever) revealed in an interview many years after the fact they had seriously planed on cessation had the yes side won.
they do already do this, report the message as junk the number will be flagged as junk and messages from it will be filtered to the junk view.
You're right -- we are all conditioned by Google. Yet, using Hello for my own technical searches these past few weeks, higher signal and lower noise is much better for me personally. At the end of the day, Justin and I are making the search engine that we want to use ourselves as developers.

Everyone likes to shirk away from their jobs; engineers and programmers have ways of making their fun (I'm teaching myself how to write parsers by giving each project a DSL) look like work. Lingerie designers or eyebrow barbers have nothing of the sort, they just blow off work on TikTok or something.

I think we really only own our phones if we're able to install a custom ROM like Lineage on them. Otherwise we pay to have bloat and ads shoved in our faces.

It would be ideal if all devices we buy were unlockable, but sadly that's not the case. For cable modems and smart TVs and most things that have same RF capability, "regulations" are used as an excuse to lock them down.
If it's double, it probably would be addss xmm0, xmm1 :-) (add eax, ebx would be for 32-bit integers.)

Speed limits have always had a discretionary factor in them. A freedom of human judgment, if you will.

And indeed not being able to drive at all seems like it would fit in with the whole green globalist agenda anyway, so the slope is definitely slippery.

I would love to see this implemented purely for curiosity's sake, even if it's architecture-specific.

Personally, cosmo is one of those projects that inspires me to crack out C again, even though I was never understood the CPU's inner workings very well, and your work in general speaks to the pure joy that programming can be as an act of creation.

Most of these are pure common sense if you are apt with CSS.

However, one problem mentioned here is vendor prefix grouping. I've never experienced this problem or seen a grouped prefix ignored by any browser. Autoprefixer doesn't even ungroup prefix rules. I even ran a grouped prefix through W3C validator and came away validated, though the article mentions it's not W3C compliant.
And this is why you should separate work machines from private and anything else. Specially when working with something high value.

I would suspect any phone designed to resist a state-level actor, that is made available to me (a regular citizen) would 100% be a honeypot for a state level actor.
How much more specific do you need than having the ability to refine your question iteratively? I think regular search engine only allow for a few special keywords. Here you can use natural language to refine.

I remember in early 2000's trying to convince people to use linux and being mocked that it was a "toy" or "not professional enough". While at the time I tried to argue how it was more stable, more secure and better performant than competition and even arguing that it was improving continuously, some people still made fun of me. It is a good thing I've been able, for a long time, to see this: https://www.top500.org/statistics/list/ , chose Category:"Operating system family" and click "Submit".
0 response out of 10 is normal. Usually I get an influx of 4-6 invitation over 20 applications, or even as little as 0-2.

Recruiters give better chance to land an interview since they have direct contact with company, and afaik usually company will prefer to process recruiters candidate first.

Job application is a numbers game, just keep applying and get as many interview as you can. I thought I even got lucky landing on current job in 3 months looking.
Tell us how you cleverly opted out?
attention is in decline. developers are paying more attention to other languages that yields greater number of employment options.

it should be that RoR devs get increasing rates as they become rarer but its not, demand is also dwindling as enterprises feel uneasy about banking the future on a smaller talent pool.
So they lost half a billion dollars because they forgot to set up Multi Factor Authentication?
I understand your argument but this kind of reasoning consistently fails to be predictive. If things worked as you describe, there would be way more consensus amongst skilled engineers on political topics. In practice people are very skilled at selectively turning off their brain, especially when they stand to benefit.

I'm guessing it will run afoul of the EU regulations. At the bare minimum there should be a way for level playfield - individual applications and third party application providers should have same access as Apple's apps!

* If Safari and Messages is allowed then all other apps should be allowed and have complete access to the device even in the lockdown mode.
* If apple gets access to any traffic from the device in the lockdown mode, then all other applications should have full access to advertising metrics and device data as well.

At that point it's probably not much of a lockdown, but Apple can't have all the fun can it?
Shopify has more than 5 billion usd in revenue. I don’t think investors care much
If you're looking for work, you have to interview during the day, which you're probably in office (things are very different now). I know I'm guilty of having my personal emailed signed into my work computer (albeit with a separate browser). I've also done virtual interviews in the office meeting/phone room.
Microservices move the complexity rather than solve it.

The dependency boundaries between portions of the data model can never be cleanly demarcated -- because that's not how information works, especially in a growing business -- so there's always going to be either some loss of flexibility or addition of complexity over time.

Individual developers getting out of each other's way just ends up getting pushed to getting in each other's way at release time as the matrix of dependencies between services explodes.

Engineers jobs become more about the lives and dramas of the services they work on than about business domain. You end up building your organization and reporting structure around these services, rather than the business needs of the customer. And then you end up indirectly or directly shipping that org chart to the world in delays or bugs caused by your fragmentation.

Instead of modeling facts about data and their relationships, and constructing the relational model which can capture this, the developer in the microservice model becomes bogged down in service roles and activities instead, again taking them away from the actual problem: which is organizing information and making it accessible to users/customers.

It's a shell game.

The Facebook monolith works because engineers there invested time in building the tooling you're complaining is not available to others. Same with Google: Google invested in F1, etc. because it evaluated the cost to do otherwise and it made sense to invest in infrastructure.

Yes, small companies can't often afford this. Luckily they have two things on their side:

Most small companies don't have a fraction of the scale issues that a FB or a Google have. So they can afford to monolith away for a lot longer than they seem to think they can, while they put in infrastructure to scale the monolith.

The industry as a whole has invested a lot in making existing things scale. e.g. you can do things with a single Postgres instance that we never would have dreamed about 10 years ago. And when that falls over, there's replication, etc. And when that falls over, guess what? There's now high performance distributed ACID SQL databases available for $use.

Microservices is surely one of the longest lived, biggest cargo cults in our industry. I've seen others come and go, but microservices really seems to cling. I think because it has the perception of breaking business problems down into very small elegant independent atomic pieces, so it has a very.. industrial revolution, automation, factory floor, economies of scale vibe. But that's not what it is.

There are places for it, I'm sure. But systems with highly interelated data and quickly changing requirements are not well suited.

IMHO.
I'll happily defend it.

I believe a free/open source desktop OS that's easy for "regular" people to use is VERY important. One of the "selling" points is "stuff doesn't break, it will work the same way it does today as it will tomorrow." This could improve the user experience for a lot of people, this could get more people interested in tech, this could save a lot of e-waste. Again, this isn't mere ideas for me -- I do this with lots of people all the time.

Now sure, you could get on your tech high horse and say "well, all those newbs should catch up." Yes, I think the people who focus too strongly on comparatively small things like fractional scaling aren't seeing the bigger picture. And that is pathetic.
But your irises don't tend to leave traces everywhere, and are thus only valuable for telling who you are, not where you've been.

Although that depends on the number of cameras around, access to them, and how much they are recording. Fingerprints are a lot simpler and easier to access.

Actually I browse with JS off by default and whitelist stuff, ironic since I am a web dev (or maybe the fact I know how shit web tech is is why I think documents should be documents , imagine I want to show you my blog but I make an Unreal Engine 5 app because I want some cool effects and I also want to learn this shiny tool and the marketing team wants to do some shitty things too)

You have a soul. That's a handicap if you want to keep up with bureaucratic bullshitting.
I mean a single beast.c that contains absolutely everything required to build a static executable beast which is your build tool. Ideally in C that multiple compilers can deal with. Building that source during dev and checking it in makes bootstrap trivial for users.
Furthermore this isn't the first of its kind; Google has been alerting high-risk Gmail users about state-sponsored hacking for about a decade now. Microsoft probably does something similar.

It’s great that Google alerted Gmail users, but then what?

“We believe you may be a target of a state-sponsored attacker; have a nice day.”

Beyond just telling you, Apple is providing some tools to do something about it.
This seems rather extreme. I like it!

You will not good get answers here. Perhaps asking in a subreddit specific to managers, project managers, agile, etc would be better.
I'm really glad you are taking care of yourself and found a way to navigate this (game) situation amicably. I've had this happen in both gaming and career context (didn't know what it was at the time) and boy did that set me off skelter for a few months. I hope you have a supportive non-judgmental network of people you trust to lean on.

More resilience is common advice, but agree that its not a panacea for actual trauma. Love that it strikes in interviews for me...

I'm not sure what protocols rsync.net exposes, but it's probably supported by rclone if there are others than ssh.

You mean that stopping abusing just a subset of visitors costs a lot to implement. Stopping abusing everyone is easy, but of course they don't want to do that.
You are not promoted to manager. It is a different career choice, but the fact that you see it that way explains a lot about your position.
There are two cases where deselecting a floor would complicate the logic:

1. When the currently targeted floor is deselected and the remaining selected floors are all in the other direction: Then the elevator would have to either reverse course without stopping — a situation which otherwise doesn’t occur and would be unexpected and possibly dangerous for the passengers — or stop on a non-selected floor before changing direction, which would be confusing as well.

2. The deselected floor was the only selected floor: The elevator would then have to choose a floor to stop on by itself — e.g. the next one it can safely stop on — which is also a situation that doesn’t otherwise occur. In addition, deselecting the only selected floor doesn’t seem to be a practical use case.

So instead of having to define, implement and test a behavior for those odd situations, it’s safer and less costly to just disallow deselection.

To be fair IRCCloud is not free nor open source. I believe there are other clients that offer similar functionality but it would be good to have something easy that does this readily available within open source
If I were to guess, people enter the elevator and subconsciously just press which floor they want to go to. If you allow deselecting, someone will inadvertently deselect where they want to go to if that button is already selected.
You have me intrigued. What do you like/use?
No, the legal costs of compliance, having a lawyer verify stuff, having a designated Data Protection Officer, etc, are a lot when your some small town newspaper.
If it's just a javascript link to download an EXE, doesn't the target of the hack still need to run the EXE? Or are you saying that a link in a PDF can install and execute code on its own?

Assuming it can't, then the engineer had to click to run some unknown EXE after downloading it... that should hardly be described as a "PDF attack".

Most people couldn’t grasp the important ramifications even if you walked them through it from first principles. I’m not sure I can despite being very interested in information entropy my whole life.

A lot of people really don’t understand much at all about anything that they don’t constantly see and touch their whole lives. A lot of people truly just live in the moment constantly and use their higher order thinking for social navigation and sex.
I didn't see a conversation on this in the comments, maybe I missed it, but I think one of the reasons why you don't see as much creative control over web pages is spambots. Lots of things that I've put up on my own personal web page that let anyone add things to it also allowed spambots to invade. And since most software to repel spambots needs to be rather advanced to work effectively, you see instances where the user content part just keeps locked up until it's closed completely.

This is a problem that big companies can solve, but it's much trickier for one guy with a web page to solve.
Yup. If for some reason Apple didn't make computers, don't think I'd own an iPhone -- the whole ecosystem fitting together is a major part of the appeal for me.

As a health care worker this would be great for very fragile or palliative clients where brushing effectively just isn’t possible. Fragile clients will often do a poor job or if you help them they don’t always tolerate how hard and long you need to brush to be effective. Not to even mention flossing. And with palliative patients they can often be bed bound and unconscious to you can’t really get in with a toothbrush and water and brush properly. Instead they get a small piece of foam attached to a stick basically and you rub it around their mouth and get any big chunks out. Very poor effectiveness. For me good mouth care for the palliative clients would be really nice to see.
