VS Code is very much the exception and not the rule. It also has the benefit of an excellent, well funded development team which isn't true for even other Electron apps within the company (MS Teams).

How many startups and small-to-midsize companies are going to invest as much as MS has into VS Code? Probably not many. Even an investment half or third as large would be unusual.

Man, my university cost twice as much too.
My grandmother is turning 100 in a few months. She was able to renew her license a few years ago and it doesn’t expire until she is 107. I was truly surprised that she was able to renew it. Not because she is a bad driver (they made her take both the written and driving test) but because I assumed there would be an age cut off.

She still lives on her own, can walk unassisted, volunteers helping old people (which apparently doesn’t include herself), still has a far better memory than I do, etc.

This feature / change dates to 2012.
Your second paragraph is a bit of a stretch in my humble opinion. Missing apps and features, on iOS? I see. And salary hours?

I was a long time android phone user. I used Cyanogenmod, which became Lineage. I was kind of left in a lurch once CM dropped support from my phone. Then I was using some truly obscure software. It doesn’t feel comfortable to use with banking apps.

There used to be a good handful of distinct advantages for Android on phones. But today if anything important is missing, it’s more likely be missing on Android. Outside of someone who really wants FF with UBO. For example, if you buy a Sonos sound bar and want to use the room adjustment software, it only exists on iOS. Sonos can’t guarantee the quality of the microphone used to enable the software for Android.

In regards to your first point, yes it may only take an hour or two if you know what you’re doing or have done it before. But most users are not going to be doing all of that on their phone.

For me, I found that chasing secure and up-to-date software on android ended up being like duplicating my desktop PC. And I say that as someone who is an Android fan. Just for certain use cases. And by no means a partisan in this whole debate. It’s really just my experience as a software developer that has spent five years or more on each platform.

I quite like the Samsung phones. If I went back, I would pick up one of those. I really like the Dex feature and the USB-C is mandatory. But there’s not much that personally draws me in from the points that you mentioned, the time and technical investment, any missing features or lock in.
Most of the time, it's easy to just put a microcontroller core into an FPGA but sometimes you just need some basic operations and don't have a lot of power to spare for an FPGA you won't fully utilize. The Atmel chip is perfect for this situation, TI makes one too. It's not going to be good for a 15 year GEO mission but there's still a niche to fill with these parts.
UBQ: Material made of garbage could reduce big events’ carbon footprints
I'd agree with you, except for the consistent presence of something, usually triangular, usually red, and usually "bad" on the cheeks. There's more variation than you'd expect from a set of pictures of a single person, but still clearly pointing at a narrower region of the latent space than just a creepy vibe.

MIMO is not beamforming. 802.11n uses MIMO, 802.11ac introduced beamforming officially, there were some nonstandard vendor implementations in 802.11n.
Thanks yeah. Even ignoring the claim that it's the most efficient per mass, even on a per passenger basis there appear to be modern rail lines that beat velomobiles (let alone bicycles) for energy expenditure per passenger-mile.
1 is true, 2 is not.
So, are you saying that a sucky interview process at one place today predicts the general practices of the same workplace in the future? Or all workplaces? The first case seems kinda rational if not without exceptions; the second kind of less rational.

The first line about getting what I'm saying is typically used to telegraph disagreement beyond the point of consideration, which kind of weirdly raises the stakes for you, rhetorically. Humor is better, or feel free to tell me to pound sand because you are about to drop a truth bomb.

I had a scrum master that literally did nothing. He tried to get me to do his work, like running planning poker, updating sprint status slides, and other assorted nonsense, while he literally phoned it in from his kid’s baseball game. I was the tech lead on the team and flat out refused. Eventually he got one of the more junior engineers to do it.
> Another thought, Hitler on his rise to power was also deplatformed, literally thrown into prison. Everyone laughed at him and his Nazi party.

And now for what actually happened:

> Approximately two thousand Nazis marched on the Feldherrnhalle, in the city centre, but were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazi Party members and four police officers... Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released. Once released, Hitler redirected his focus towards obtaining power through legal means rather than by revolution or force, and accordingly changed his tactics, further developing Nazi propaganda

If there is any lesson here it's that Hitler wasn't punished severely enough and forgiven too quickly.

What would you have had society do? Just ignore his literal attempted violent overthrow of the government??
And still no mute button on the airpod itself.

Seriously, I would love to have a chat with the product manager in charge. With over 6.2M call-minutes per minute and over 300M daily active users [1], how can "mute", the most important functionality in a video call (I would argue even more than disconnecting the call) still be missing?

Just a tiny dot that sets a mute/unmute flag on the mic, preferably with an audible cue. Don't even involve the phone, just mute it on the device itself. I know HSP/HFP don't support mute command but a device level option should be easy. Moreover Apple could, as it's done before, implement an Apple-to-Apple extension of either of these protocols.

Anyone working on an Apache-licensed project should expect this might happen, since it is explicitly allowed by the terms of the license. If they are going to get upset about it they could decide to only contribute to GPL-licensed software?
Interestingly, Twitter was originally borne from a podcast "app" called Odeo. Things come full circle, I guess.
> FreeBSD has bash under /usr/bin

Worse: it’s in /usr/local/bin now (as ports are installed in /usr/local, by archaic convention).
The only catch is the scuba diving (aka dive computer) feature relies solely on 3rd party app. It happens that Oceanic+ to be the first one and the first one that will requires a subscription.

I ordered and cancelled the order right after I read the fine lines of the 3rd party and subscription requirement of the app.

I guess I would go back to a better, dedicated dive computer at this price point then.
To put that into perspective, we need about a thousand gallons of water to produce a megawatt-hour of power. We can desalinate a thousand gallons of water out of the ocean by spending about ten kilowatt-hours. So that's a 1% energy overhead.
Just went through this with Inlaws. They lived 20 minutes away, my wife would cook meals, shop for them and take her mother to dialysis. I stop by after work and heat up dinner and make sure their meds were ready for the next day.

MIL passed just before the lockdowns. After lockdown, I did my WFH at my FIL place, until he was hospitalized for a bleeding ulcer(while on blood thinners not good). Then I lived there full time until he passed 10 months later. He never expected to outlive his wife and would not consider a senior facility. In the end he had kidney failure, bile duct cancer, and lest body dementia.

My advice take care of what you can now. Get someone added to the title of the house NOW while they are still mentally able so that you can avoid probate. If they have other property, sell it now. We had to open ancillary probate in Florida for real estate they owned for 30 years - making us miss the best market in years. Get their power of attorney and medical power of attorney in place and active NOW. They can’t sign after having a stroke or when unconscious.

And realize things can go downhill quickly. Every illness, or hospitalization takes more out of them, and a lot longer for them to recover.

On a serious note, I had the TALK with my parents. I reminded them of how, as a child, I was told having a pony was a foolish luxury and that needed to learn the value of money. I told them I remember that lesson and plan to utilize it when the time come for them to move into a facility. They may want to move in with their other children, because who really needs more than 2stars for a long term care facility.

The article is a full decade old, fwiw.
So no discussion about the substance of the article.. just a bunch of people who don't read the conclusions first and scroll backwards up a text like a sensible person .. .. and is it so distasteful or irrelevant when talking about contemporary problems of power and society, to compare to other moments in history?.. isn't this kind of comments a text book example of derailing the online conversation with some tangential point
I used to feel this way in the JS ecosystem. It's been quite a while since I've encountered something insurmountable (unless it's something like Bit using bespoke packaging).
> One of these keys is public and stored on Apple’s servers, while the other key is a secret key and stays on your device at all times. “The server never learns what your private key is, and your devices keep it safe,”

So the server copy is encrypted... with a key that's generated on the device... so what if you lose or break the device? Are you locked out of all your online accounts forever?

I'm sure there's a way of recovering from that situation, but I'm also guessing that the recovery process is basically incompatible with a desire to migrate to an Android phone at the same time. This is despite (or perhaps due to) the fact that losing your iPhone or having it break is the moment when people are most frustrated with Apple and/or most likely to buy a new phone.
The IRS does not know, among other things,

- how many dependents you have

- whether you bought or sold a house

- what you donated to charity

- any cash business / side / hobby income

- what health insurance you held this year

I mean sure have them send out a form, but it's naive to expect the correction rate to be low; half the country is going to need to tell the IRS stuff about their personal life, if nothing else for dependents to correctly adjust EITC or CTC.
I haven't deployed anything serious to ethereum mainnet and yet the stress of getting the command right and not messing up the private key or something is real, like no other deployment that I have ever experienced.

I'm very curious how this will be solved (if ever), because no matter how good your process is, errors will happen, and boom! there goes your company/money/whatever.
People forget that a form submit is a function call with parameters. The bone of programming; calling functions. Also something something state transfer.
They could charge $50k for 1 day of use after the fact, and people would still be happy for that option. Rescues are not cheap to begin with.
I have no idea how someone who isn't a web developer is supposed to know 1) what a PWA is, and 2) how to install and use a PWA.

It feels like what QR codes were like 10 years ago
Safari getting web push notifications in 2023

If a user could "save" a webpage to an app icon on their desktop, and get badges for new messages, then that could herald in a new wave.

And seriously. I think there is money to be made form offering your website users privacy from tracking and analytics. Websites potentially have an upper hand there. (of course that's entirely debatable, but just my educated hunch)
I think whoever came up with Android Instant Apps grossly overestimated the amount of friction imposed by users having to click the "Get App" button in the Play Store. It is a solution in search of a problem, which is why it never took off.
Yes, awareness that differences amongst us exist matters, especially when coupled in the right way can make things flow smoother, better teams and such - especially when we don’t ensemble organically but by chance of where we land. Even if MBTI is not science, just dwelling a bit on the different types of personalities or modes of functioning helps in appreciating most if not all team members. For a while I was not advertising my introversion, I was perhaps trying to mask it (which is taxing to be honest) changed over time , especially when more conversation about it ensued in part due to MBTI. It may be junk science but helps start up needed conversations about our differences.
I've been waiting since 2016 for my transcript request..
Why is it a native app? A social/news network has no advantages as a native app and significant downsides. You're going to have 1,000x more difficulty getting people to try it if they have to install something.
>Finally, you get to syncing, and the friction is bigger than you expect. It is not enough to set up a LAN folder; your solution needs to be able to resolve conflicts if you ever use more than one device simultaneously, otherwise you run the risk of losing changes.

Would you explain what kind of a problem you see here (I mean: KeePass related)?
AFAIK syncing two KeePass database instances is based on timestamps, so losing changes made on any two copies kept/used on different devices is simply impossible if you properly use KeePass (ie. do merge them with KeePass).
Of course, if you want to have a real cloud-based password manager then KeePass (without any extension) isn't appropriate at all. But what's the purpose of comparing apples to oranges?
Yeah that part is a real bummer
What are you trying to say about the polygraph? Polygraphs are definitely and absolutely a net negative in any situation if the person operating it believes they work, because you get honest people failing them because the operator thinks they're "hiding something" from the basically meaningless output. As far as I'm aware, a lot of the people working with these machines fall into this category.

I guess on the other hand, if the operator did fully know it's complete pseudoscience, then it might be sometimes useful, because it could then function as a useful interrogation prop as long as the person being interrogated beleives it works.

If it recreates the system but in a more efficient manner that might be good enough. Banks kind of suck anyway. it is worth a try.
One thing I really like from firefox is that you can tag a bookmark.
Yeah mounting large amounts the filesystem read only over the network was a pretty common thing to do in large environments.
The author doesn't appear to have documented the bookmarklet itself. If they are here or another person, can you suggest what it might look like to have a bookmarklet collect the url, page title, meta description and image, and then set window.location.href ?
No, they make a noise once and then shut up.

Aren't a lot of features a gimmick by your standards? Some of the radio equipment in the iPhone is only to support countries that you don't live in, for example. You're paying for it even though you'll never use it.
In which case they'll likely get an attachment of earnings order and take the owed straight from anyone not paying anyway, silly muggles.

> unless you use something like pouchdb that's specifically oriented around that

There's your answer!
Myers-Briggs can be useful. It's not some magic ball, but I'm an ENTP, which means I need to keep it fresh; I can't just chug away at one task for hours and maintain good output, I need to switch over to something else before I get fatigued, and then switch back. I'm glad I know this about myself, otherwise I'd feel terrible about my "lack of focus".

I'll add to this that Enneagrams are useful for understanding my emotional approach to things. I'm an Enneagram 8, which is a more combative, take-the-bull-by-the-horns type of personality. This can be offputting, so I consciously tone it down when meeting new people.

Well, you may have noticed the strong desire to "eliminate car culture" or however it gets phrased these days.

Step one: require everybody to use only electric cars

Step two: no charging of electric cars

Step three: look at that, no cars on the road.
No. That's an abuse of language. Surveillance is persistent monitoring of an area, person, etc. with a strong implication of record retention and intent to escalate situations which may arise.

Looking upon your way as you travel is not surveillance. Putting a light on a night is not surveillance. We are talking about a particular thing, notwithstanding irrelevantly broad archaic or foreign usage.

Well I'm not an anarchist so I believe we need some taxes. Labor tax is the highest priority for elimination, and there should be more buy in for that idea because the middle class benefits more, since most of their living comes from incomes than capital gains.

Capital gains tax is good if the loopholes are fixed such as cost basis resetting upon death. Otherwise we need a global wealth tax, negotiated between the EU and US to avoid capital flight. Such a tax is actually good because it improves the quality of our democracy by reducing the ability for ultra wealthy people to enact their crony capitalist corruption. This is a unique reason to tax capital wealth that isn't applicable to labor taxes.

The main reason to use env shebangs is versioning. MacOS ships Bash v3, but Homebrew installs Bash v5. Which shebang will you use - #!/bin/bash, #!/usr/bin/bash, #!/opt/homebrew/bin/bash, #!/usr/local/homebrew/bin/bash ? Same for different versions of Python (in venvs, pyenvs, etc) and other applications where you may want to run different versions. With the env shebang you can always change your PATH to choose your version.
I do wonder how much of an innovator he actually is on his own. He's known for his time at Paypal, but he was only there for 6 months, during which his big effort was to switch their Unix servers to Windows NT. He bought his way into Tesla.

And speaking as somebody who used to work at Twitter in anti-abuse engineering, I can confidently say that he displays a very poor understanding of the problems he's in theory buying Twitter to solve. And that's before we even get to his terribly handled attempt to buy the company, which could literally cost him billions to get out of, or billions more if he's forced to buy and run the company.

It should be easy to add additional safeguards / warnings to prevent this combination from being set.

I’m getting 1.6% of our heat surplus at present power production rates, and I’m saying what if we triple our power production because it’s cheap and clean now?

Wind doesn’t increase this number. Nor does hydro. Solar only does if the albedo is lower than ambient. Tidal… I wouldn’t even know where to start calculating that. Heat engines increase it by something like 300% of the power that gets to your light switch.
I was thinking of something similar to go's "go fmt". Something that would standardize the indentation (tab to 4 spaces), sort imports in the correct order, etc.
