>It's a speed upper limit, not a minimum. Are you upset when an agricole machine is using the public roads?

This is an infantile way of framing it. 99.9999% of road users (all types) DGAF what you do as long as you meed expectations for your type of traffic.

Pretty much nobody gets angry at slower traffic (tractors, cyclists, commercial vehicles) so long as it is meeting their expectations for what it is. If you drive a normal car and try and act like something slower don't be surprised when it pisses people off. Likewise if you cycle or have to operate heavy machinery on road and try and act like a car outside of some narrow circumstances don't be surprised when it pisses people off.
> Kids are like 80x or more likely to kill themselves than to be killed in a school shooting.

Sure, if you limit the numbers to just school shootings. Why not count all kid deaths by firearms? A kid is twice as likely to die by bullet than by suicide.

School shootings are just the currently most visible form of kid death by bullet.
I use them at the gym because I hate having things on my face/head while I'm sweaty. I don't have a use case for wired bluetooth headphones that isn't better served by something with a 3.5mm jack.

AGPL is purposefully designed to eliminate the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish model of Cloud providers, where the provider embraces a popular open source projects, creates a "service" from it, extends that service in order to make their flavor non-compatible with out contributing upstream in an effort to extinguish the original project.
IIRC Scaleway discontinued it because they considered it too buggy, so probably not.
A (very) recent HP inkjet firmware update just broke all inkjet cartridges older than about 18 months. Including cartridges from HP.

Neither the on-device or OS mediated error messages explained this. I only figured it out from other angry users on reddit.

How was my mom supposed to have figured this out? She didn't know that her printer had updated itself a few days earlier. She doesn't even know what a firmware update is.

In a world of class action suites over batteries, chargers, keyboards, etc., why isn't HP being sued?
IMHO the whole notion of "week of on-call" is ridiculous. Being on-call ready is a shift of (hopefully low-intensity) work time. You can do 8 hour shifts, 12 hour shifts, 24 hour shifts, but you can't do 168 hour shifts for monitoring something, anything - that's impractical and should be illegal.

There are (or should be) some minimum standards of rest time that every human being must get, and being on-call is not it, every employee must get an opportunity to fully disconnect for non-trivial time during every single week. You do your shift, and then get at least 12 hours off (with your phone off) before being available for work or work calls again.
Or, include the links yourself when making such claims? Unsupported comments are perhaps just as rude?
Semi-related: I tried out Microsoft/Ford's SYNC system (voice commands for your car) in '08 and was upset that it didn't seem to support an option for "continue listening to podcast series X where I left off" ... like, the thing you would want to do all the time. (Item 5.)

>1. Whoever is on call, their job isn't only to answer pages, but also to improve the system

Way to make being on-call more punishing as well as detract from both goals -- your clients receive worse support and the amount of work done on the fix is inversely proportional to the time you're spending with clients who are calling you because there is a problem, not because they just want to talk.

2 actually works; tech debt hackathons are a great thing, and sometimes ops and dev hands don't communicate as effectively as they need to throughout the SDLC.
Me neither. But the US government looks after their corporations and their markets, and has never been above espionage, sabotage, and petty vindictiveness. In particular since it believes the EU markets should be theirs to do with as they wish, and that the EU government is the enemy standing in their way.

And occasionally I see patterns of events where the time, place, circumstances and outcome makes me suspect sabotage.
That's a nasty bias you have. Cyclists are clearly also "people trying to get somewhere". I'd argue they're trying harder than you are.

I won't defend all cyclists, some of them have bad etiquette for sure. I certainly don't have traffic piled up behind me. But I'd argue they've inconvenienced you far less than your car infrastructure has inconvenienced them. I promise if they had a separated fast bike lane to use, they'd be using that instead of getting blasted by cars and trucks and dealing with people angry they're late for their next stoplight.

If you want cyclists off your road, then you should be lobbying for better cycling infrastructure.
This....

I have exactly the same problem with the U2 album. In general, I like U2, but that album is a pain. It starts up every now and then in my car with carplay. Especially if I have my phone on with no app in the foreground when I plug it in.
Show HN: Write.cx – a neat little blogging site I've made
This is the first thing I've made in a while - it's a simple service that lets you make a neat little blog.

You can add custom HTML/JS/CSS, posts can be formatted with markdown, and every site gets an RSS feed. It also has server-rendered social card images, and once a post is published, you can see basic stats about how it's doing.

You can try it out for free, and then once you're ready to make your site public, it's just a $20 one-time payment to keep the lights on.

Let me know what you think :)
Thank you! I don't take it for granted. Honestly, I had no idea that the things I was into as a kid would end up paying the bills; I feel like I was just a little nerd who unintentionally stumbled into a lucrative career.
3.5mm can go to hell for a phone. I’d prefer the waterproofing we have with iPhones nowadays. If you need an adapter they are available.
The citizens of LA will blindly follow whichever tyrant is closest to their values, media or not. The media is far weaker than it's been in decades, and cults of personality amplified by marketing way more powerful.
I have some Bluetooth speakers from Teufel. They are pretty big and heavy and supposedly good (actually way too bassy for me, hard to listen to podcasts on). And they have a battery, so they are mobile.

They heave this “feature” where they turn off after 10 min of silence. And they’re Bluetooth, so once they turn off, u have to walk to the damn speaker (no remote), push the power button that’s hidden on the back for several seconds (less used buttons are visible on top), then go to your playback device and reconnect the Bluetooth.

People on the forums have been complaining about this for years, and the support still says this feature can’t be turned off.

For a company that supposedly makes very carefully designed, great Audio equipment made in Germany, this user interface is infuriating, pointless and feels never actually tested. (Also, Nowadays nobody reviews products anymore so bad user interfaces are not caught). Btw, I have some Bluetooth speakers with a tiny battery that will stay on for a day and not turn off, idling takes nearly no battery power.

So yeah, this is like the laziest product I have owned, that just dares u to stop a movie for a bathroom or snack break lest it goes back to sleep, and it wasn’t designed by some big monolithic FANG but a supposedly user centric design focused hiish end shop.
The whole region wasn’t down though, only zone europe-west2-a so AFAICT high availability should’ve covered this particular instance of outage.
This seems right, Never have I not found bugs while chasing code coverage. When I've pushed for higher code coverage, I usually find some bugs. General Code Review becomes easier when you can see that the person tested all of the edge cases and has a clean 100% coverage on the CR. When the code gets deployed I can generally trust that it's going to work, or get rolled back in a staging environment.

It's certainly possible to make high quality code without tests (see Linux), but simply taking the time and writing tests seems to accelerate development.
I use 3% of git commands and that's it. I probably use 3% of regex rules too.
In Defense of Small Talk
If want an extremely strong mitigating control that you can design into your architecture..... allow internet egress in your production environment only to a list of domains/ips in an allowlist. This or control egress with an explicit proxy.

If vulnerable systems have no path to the internet at large then it's extremely difficult for attackers to know if a system is vulnerable to log4j and even harder to actually use it to exfiltrate data.
Doesn’t it also mean that whatever you were listening to yourself, and potentially stopped as you got company, is now playing in the speakers for everyone in the car just as you’re turning it the engine on and can also reach the stop button so fast?
I'm not thrilled with their having to open up most of these areas, but it's doable. If the API's don't already exist (read: Private, for Apple's use only) they can be written - that's an item on the to-do list, but it's not crazy.

However, the Apple Pay & NFC stuff just rubs me the wrong way. The only reason they have been begging for this is the ability to collect more data about riders, which isn't necessary and probably would get sold to third parties for the purpose of serving ads and other services.

I want none of this and those firms can kindly fuck off right into the Sun.

Existing API's do the basics just fine.

Thank $deity the MTA didn't entertain any of this bullshit when they rolled out OMNY. Now if we could get NJTransit on board, we'd be all set.
Why is it bad to give users 64 bits of address space?

Today's Ethernet/WiFi networks don't use the space very effectively, but IP will be with us for a very long time, and those bits are reserved for future innovation at the network edge.
I see the same happening with a certain new EV that I won't name. It has a nice design, but often gets people stranded, outright bricked through OTA. To the point where dealers advise users not to perform OTA updates. Literal pieces falling off the car while driving. The need to call the tow truck after 2k miles is very common. In normal car terms, it's junk.
But people fight tooth and nail to defend it. Exactly because of the 'tribal' thinking you mention. It's our 'tribe', so we close in.
Why does no one talk about the private bus companies and the colectivos that are found throughout Central and South America? The system is amazing for anyone who has used it, compared to alternatives.
That family doesn't know how to keep proper phone hygiene shouldn't mean they get to force their locked down stuff on the rest of us.
> You're part of the in group, you made it, you have achieved sameness, you have an iPhone.

Orrrrr we tolerate repeated mistakes on Apple's part because every time we poke our heads up and look around at the rest of the market (or even try switching for a while!) it's clear we'd just be trading every one problem for three others.

I sincerely wish any other tech companies would at least credibly pretend to actually be competing with Apple head-on, rather than just avoiding them and trying to fill other niches.
Joel is 100% spot on. This is exactly why I don’t think things like Copilot will catch on. Making programming involve less writing code and more reading code actually makes the job more difficult.
Well, there is that ocean on the left coast which theoretically can provide all the water needed to avert problems. There is also that sun in the sky which could provide power for the desalination plants needed to turn that salty sea water into fresh water. The resulting brine contains a number of harvestable minerals as well so given the incentive there would be a possibility to stave of desertification of at least parts of the area - something which was not possible to those previous populations which got decimated by this cycle.
How very convenient. So many billions of things that "AI" can remember and infer, and yet it can't remember that one important 3-letter metadata. Reminds of these politicians that when questions in the court answer "I can't remember" for everything.
I like the end of the article:

> Xie met her current boyfriend at a wedding, where they were working as a professional bridesmaid and best man. He’s promised to make her the happiest bride. “We will hire 24 groomsmen and bridesmaids,” Xie told Sixth Tone.
If EE jobs paid $500k a year like SWE (in the Bay), I assure you you’d have a lot more. It’s all about incentives.

Arial fails the Il test. If you can't tell the difference between these two characters, then the font sucks.
Ant colonies would like to disagree. As would chimpanzees. Peace is harder to achieve than you imagine.
Identifying that subset of the language was paradigm shift in JS development. around 2008 when the good parts came out i don’t know any serious JS developers who didn’t take on board many of its lessons. examples: avoiding ‘this’, understanding the value of functions as first class citizens, understanding closures. these weren’t unique to crockford but by presenting them in an accesible plain spoken way he moved the state of the language forward.

i do agree that there’s a need to weigh the value of new features vs bloat but id say 1 good feature in ten is pretty poor odds.

another example of crockfords pragmatism is JSON which for all its flaws has been a real boon.

Off-topic: FYI, the phrase should be "too much money", because money is an uncountable noun (you cannot say "a money", but can say "some money").
> ie 5 years or 50,000 miles

It also depends on the make and where you live. I stretched my Yokohama's out to ~80k miles with good tread still left when I replaced them. But I live in the southern part of the US, so we don't have to deal with snow and ice cycles that cause tires to wear faster.
Yes, anyone can claim your content. The only solutions are to be big and rich enough to throw your legal weight around or to exploit the same broken system to claim your own content (naturally this means paying extra fees to gatekeepers and potentially still splitting revenue with scammers)
> Apple AirPlay is just pure trash, so I have to use chromecast.

What's trash about it? Never had any issues with it, ever.

> My Apple watch keeps bugging out and notifying me few minutes late and requires restart of both devices.

Bugging out and notifying you a few minutes late for what? I get text messages on my watch at exactly the same time as my phone.

> The device keeps connecting to open networks while my remembered home network is available.

The device will only connect to networks you've connected to before. So this is user error. It's simple, forget that network.

> The camera lens has issues with glare in the sun.

This is a problem with any phone, or any camera?
> * Install any software

I don't see mention of this in the summary. Where is it described?
It this a problem with bluetooth or the devices that use bluetooth? Because my AirPods Pro work great, but most other devices are hit and miss.
The situation for Go seems to have gotten a bit better with Go 1.18. Go binaries now include the versions of all the modules in them, and this can be listed with the "go version" command.

That won't help you rebuild the binary, but at least you can find them.
Where is this movie? Is it subtitled in English?
> Does anyone have One Weird Trick™ to fix it?

My one weird trick is to have a zero tolerance policy for flaky monitors/tests. If it’s not accurate, we either have to drop everything else and fix it, or disable that alarm entirely.

Like they say, normalization of deviance is real, and the only way to fight against it is to have every form of deviance be a problem.
This example of course only seems reasonable if you focus on the level of extremes you chose
Well, as an average iPhone user, no. The reliability is mediocre.

Keyboard crashing, UI glitching and having wrong dimensions/inoperable sections, occasionally deciding that minimum brightness is the only allowed value and being entirely unresponsive to the brightness slider, some days using waaaay more battery with no battery accounting, sometimes requiring a reboot to use a Qi charger, occasionally freezing and dropping me back to the home screen after what I assume is a crash, sometimes requiring hard reboots as the UI is entirely locked up and doesn't even want to soft crash, ...

I can keep going. And yes, it's a new model that no it's not full of crap and apps. It sees light usage outside reading news sites.

The "apple is more reliable" thing is a myth. I feel that it used to be the case, but I haven't felt like that for a decade.

And no, having anecdotal good experiences is not very useful. I also have those, and so do users of every other platform. Reliability is about the bad experiences, and just works" implies none or at least very few bad experiences.

> Whereas if we do actually do it, we might fail, which will be hard to take.

It's hard to take because unless you've already got substantial financial security, you may end up broke, and may no longer have any readily available "for-the-money" job opportunities afterward.
Scaleway did. It was some Marvell Armada SoC IIRC.
Ah, it's so easy to write something like this, but...

> No, Apple restricting your freedom does not afford you greater security.

No, Apple restricting your freedom does not afford you greater security.

You don't know anything about me. How can you possibly make the call on what makes me secure or not? Not being able to install malware... that is by definition more secure than being able to install malware.

> If you're not confident in your ability to tell shady from legit, just stick to the App Store.

No, you believe that other people who are not confident in their ability to tell shady from legit, can just stick to the App Store.

...but that's not true for some people. Some people make bad decisions. Lots of people make bad decisions. What you believe other people should be capable of, is your choice, but it's (clearly) wrong for a certain cohort of people.

> Don't demand that Apple treat the rest of us like children just because that's how you would like to be treated.

You may feel like you're being treated like a child because you are being prevented from doing what you consider to be something you should be entitled to do.

...but, other people feel differently.

You don't represent everyone. Your opinions are not shared by everyone.

> It blows my mind

...that other people have opinions. I know, it's astonishing.

Just because you (and I) personally will be positively affected by this change, doesn't mean everyone one will be. Does the positive benefit to us few outweigh the negative benefit to many others?

I don't know. I'm pretty worried about it. I think it's gonna to end up with a lot of bad things, for a lot of people, who aren't good at making decisions, especially when it relates to computers and other technical stuff.
There's no "nogc" containers in phobos, or allocators, or an idiomatic way to do safe manual memory management. It expects you to do it the C way. It's also impossible to implement some things because of how D does moving. There's a DIP in the works to change how moving works, but it's overly complicated and bound to introduce even more bugs. https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1040.md
Personally I keep a different persona in all those messengers and they are all different in the way that they work and the features that they offer. I’m happy compartmentalising things. Not to mention the spam problem that will likely occur.
Had to deal with some automated scan tool telling a client "you have log4j - you're vulnerable!" when... we didn't. A project was including a dependency on SLF4J and that project pulled in slf4j-log4j (IIRC). But it was not configured, wasn't compiled in to the final jar, and ... even it was, it was very old log4j (1.1 or 1.2 IIRC?). The vulnerability didn't affect that older version.

We had to spend a week back and forth with

"no, we're not vulnerable".

"But we see log4j is right there in the a file in the directory".

"No, it's not vulnerable and it's not being used and we can't reasonably fork the entire dependency just to remove that one sub-dependency from our project's dependency"

"But we see log4j is right there in the a file in the directory".

Also, there was no budget to do any sort of rewrite/refactor/etc anyway.
Absolutely this. I've worked on teams that do on-call rotations and teams that don't. What I typically find is that when you're on-call you work hard for your time off-work to be peaceful. Everything becomes infinitely better - code reviews, testing, deployments. When you do have an on-call issue that is beyond something simple and transient, it gets brought up in incident reviews for all engineering teams. This keeps everyone accountable and focuses team's efforts on patching anything that causes on-call pain. You really don't want to have to say anything in this meeting. And if you do on-call right and focus on quality, you're basically never doing anything during your rotation. On the flip side, when a team doesn't do on-call rotations the code quality suffers greatly.
I'd say the issue for people who are inclined to pick the first arrangement is one of trust.

If you don't trust your employer not to abuse the second arrangement then you'd be a fool to accept it. With the first arrangement the employer is incentivised not to exceed the agreed upon expected number of on-call weeks because they are financially penalised for additional on-call time. With the second arrangement the employer can demand as much on-call time as they think they can get away with.

It's really a case of if you expect your relationship with your employer to be in some way adversarial - if you trust your employer not to screw you than go ahead, but you can't necessarily reliably make that judgement going into a new job.
"Vulnerability to traffic" can be alternately expressed as "right of way violated by individual cars." The history of the decline of streetcars in the US is the history of automotive companies convincing the public that cars take priority over all other forms of transportation, consequences for the commons be damned.

You can't really write an OS in a language that requires a runtime environment, like C# or Java — you'll still need another lower-level language like C/C++ or Rust to build a runtime (CLR/JVM/...) that would run on the bare metal.
I also like now "single file deployment" is considered a feature. It makes it easier for people without proper packaging and distribution tools. Of course these people without packing and distribution tools will now have a hard time finding out everywhere they have copied these binaries to.
