I believe I can share an anecdote: a while ago I have uploaded a bunch of photos of a work event to the corporate account. This being corporate, it runs pre-release of everything. The gallery managed to hit some bug in the jillions of lines of Javascript, which I never cared to understand.

I reported the bug. Knowing how security works technically, I added to the bug the words "I'm happy with whoever works on this to take a look at the gallery, here's a world-readable sharing link". A couple rounds of bug comments later, I have been asked to sign a legally binding consent form allowing an engineer to look at the gallery. Then somehow they decided I need to sign a different form to satisfy whatever other legal spirit needed appeasing. Only then someone finally looked at the bundle of photos. They figured out whatever was triggering the bug. They generated a gallery reproducing the bug with generic sample images. Whoever worked on the bug and adding a regression test worked off that synthetic gallery instead.
That's why I wrote burying the equivalent plant C mass, which is a lot cheaper than trying to convert it into fuel.
Sample size needed depends on effect size. If there's a disease that has resulted in death within a year in every recorded case (assume its a common disease for the sake of argument) in history and your pill cures 2 out of the 7 people in your study? Damn, you've got a fantastic pill there!

My favourite example is if you have a pill you think allows people to fly and you administer it to 1 random person and they shoot off into the sky? Despite sample size 1 that's actually pretty strong evidence :D
Don't spend your precious energy worrying too much about the details. Focus on the big picture: your job isn't working out and you need to find a new one. Put your energy into doing that.
Isn't YouTube operating at a larger scale? I'd think certainly in terms of storage and unique bytes served, maybe comparable in terms of total bytes served?

I recall (>20 years ago) reading TAOCP, and laughing to myself about how obsolete the section on sorting using multiple tape drives. And here we are.

There are newer editions (2004, 2014) of the McKusick et al book, s/4.4 BSD/FreeBSD/1 for the updated title. If you don't want any taint of knowledge of fast flash drives, maybe go with the 2004 edition.
In Germany we already have unions, including the software development, as the unions are traversal to the industry regardless of the role each employee has on the building.
You are in a pathological work environment. Good for you for not participating.

Ensure you routinely copy/backup/export all communications, and record any meetings. This will be essential for if you are unfairly laid off.

Similarly, whenever discussion around project outcomes or work items comes up, only do exactly what was discussed. If they told you to do something, do it, but not any implied or assumed extras.

Wherever possible, you need to extend your time and delivery estimates where possible. If you are the subject matter expert then that is easy. Do not let the pathological political environment bully you into burning yourself out to imaginary bullshit timeframes that someone else made up on the spot then reduced by 20%.

This is correct. Look towards "proof-of-personhood" protocols and other crypto projects that ensure one-person-one-vote voting - popping up now. Online democracy is coming and has only in the last couple years been doable safely, anonymously (and frankly, I'd like a few more years/decades of that being proven out in the wild before I'd trust it). We needed zero knowledge proofs to do it anonymously. We still need a somewhat-better proof-of-identity system but just passports and networks of people vouching for each other should carry us pretty far to start.
That's a bit of a non-sequitar. If you're trying to use it on a laptop it doesn't matter that it runs on phones and supercomputers as well.
When you bury plants, they decay and release their carbon as CO2 back into the atmosphere within a couple of years. Reliably sequestering CO2 by burying plants is difficult and inefficient. In addition, converting crude oil to jet fuel is also very energy-intensive; the energy required typically comes from fossil fuel sources, so you'd be releasing much more fossil carbon into the atmosphere than just what is burned in the jet turbines.
Again, that's not quite true. They had barely managed to eke out the Pebble 2 the month prior but had been in distress for quite some time. They had a huge layoff earlier that year as well and were forced to raise a debt funding round sometime that year as well. The market was doing well but the CEO commented about how hard it was for hardware companies to raise funds, especially as hardware companies were getting crushed in the market.

The truth is Apple came in and ate everyone lunch. Pebble was effectively dead the moment Apple announced their plans for a smartwatch.

Ultimate gaslighting strategy, making conspiracy sound like a crazy conspiracy.

Admittedly, there is a layer of ridiculous conspiracy theory confounded by ignorance and confusion.

Make no self deception however, there is a conspiracy against our natural destinies. A secret war for power fought within our own minds. The voices in our heads are real, and the taboo against acknowledging this is destroying us from within.

Digital Literacy for Elderly – A Startup Idea
But you are talking about something else!

You are talking about the configs being stored in text files. The comment you are responding to was talking about being forced to edit text files to configure.

Yours is about the format of data representation and theirs is about UX.

The first step of not forcing users to edit text files is having sensible well thought out defaults. If I have to think about configs the designers of the app failed me.

The second way to not force the users to edit text files is by having a well thought out gui for the kind of changes you might want.

The format of how the config settings are stored is almost orthogonal to this questions. And yes, you are right, a text based format is preferable over a properitary binary one.
In Switzerland you would have to prove that you work as a consultant, this means: You could switch to a different company if the gig runs out or you could take on a different company as a customer. A way would be to work for two different companies at the same time and subcontract to someone else. Then you would be self-employed and would need to pay the mandatory insurance for age, invalidity, pregnancy, and so on yourself (10.6% of declared revenue), exactly as your employer and you, were you employed in Switzerland.

To get started as self-employed is a bit difficult. You need to bootstrap yourself with at least two customers. You need to show offers, orders, payments, advertisement for your service, and so on. They want to make sure that what you do is not circumvention of factually being an employee. A workaround could be to ask two friends if they could create an order for you, then you are free to offer yourself to a company and switch every three to five years.
So there is an onboarding process that is skippable, and it would appear that either most people either do, or at least click-through. While the onboarding doesn’t show every gesture and shortcut, it does show how to “figure out how to use this device”.

And herein lies the problem, and it’s not exclusive to iOS. No matter how much hand holding there is, if the user doesn’t engage, then it’s a lost cause. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

Discoverability is as much about trying something that you know works elsewhere as it is showing direct affordances.

> I'm curious how all the pieces would balance in practice

That's a reasonable thought. Though I find it hard to believe that processing plants into synthetic fuels would be cheaper than just burying it, like into an old coal mine.

> that's unreasonably uncharitable

It's reasonably charitable because every single article I've ever read about biofuels never mentions my observation, nor have I ever heard anyone else mention it. It's all like "if we burn fuels made from plants, we're not really contributing to CO2" nonsense. People have mentioned growing trees and then stuffing them into coal mines to sequester the C, but never in the context of biofuels.

Maybe I can draw attention to this by being uncharitable, which will make it worth while.
Sometimes you have constraints and are limited to crontabs. For example when you are using autoscaling on AWS EC2 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ec2-au...).

I know, with eventbridge and lambdas this problem could be alleviated a bit, since eventbridge uses cron syntax but with some added bells and whistles ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-...) which would make the expression for the first monday of each month much easier to write.

MacOS supports intermediary DPIs, it has multiple "looks like resolutions". You may have to press ALT while clicking "scaled". But you can't (easily?) set any arbitrary scaling, like 123%. You can on Windows, but it recommends against it. And I've noticed that most apps work fine at 150%, but many feel weird at 125% (which is also "standard").

The Windows mouse thing has been somewhat fixed in Win11 22H2, where you can now even move your mouse to the side "above" the other screen and it will still move there.

As for apps working seamlessly, I'm really not convinced. Not even the taskbar works well. If you change the DPI while it's running, the taskbar icons become blurry. The initial start menu (on first click) adapts fine, but then if you start typing to search something, the results are a blurry mess. Edge has weird artefacts in the tab animation after a DPI change, where half of the icon moves at a different speed. IntelliJ has funny fonts, with some of them huge, others tiny.

To me, the killer feature of MacOS when it comes to multi-DPI setups is that it remembers the per-screen-per-setup DPI. In my case, my PC has a 14" 1920x1080 screen. When I use it alone, it's much closer than with an external screen. I like it in 100% mode. When I plug in the screen, a 32" 4k, they're both much further away. They have roughly the same DPI (by design - I mostly use Linux) so there's no "matching" to do, but I'd like both of them to be at say 125%. Tough luck. If I change the laptop's screen to 125% while the external screen is plugged in, it will stay at 125% when on its own, too. MacOS would remember that with this screen it's 125%, alone it's 100.

What does it even mean to run PHP in the browser... Is this supposed to be some sort of replacement for server-side PHP?
I think this is a really compelling pattern for converting traditional server rendered apps to be offline enabled (or choosing to build new ones this way). I have seen similar examples using Python.

Initially these are more of a “backed data” type app, with no offline public writes. [0]

The next step is to have local/offline SQLite to server syncing, enabling writes while offline that are synced back to the server on reconnection. This would inherently be eventually consistent and brings its own issues with relational data integrity, however the SQLite Session Extension could be I good way to build such a system [1]

The alternative is a new data store based on CRDTs (conflict free merging of offline edits), there are some exciting developments happening in that area. I have seen it suggested that the SQLite session extension is almost a crdt if you squint at it.

>onBeforeRequest() processing adds about 130ms of latency per request

Sometimes it pays off to do some sanity checks in your head. 130ms is how long it takes for modern CPU to render 50 frames of Overwatch game. Rendering modern FPS is a LOT heavier than looking up URL in a list of 100K rules.
There is, and has always been, haptic feedback too.

How's the blurriness, though?

At one point I was using two 24" screens, one 1920x1080, one 3840x2160. I've tried messing around with settings, until I ended up on xrandr scaling as being, basically, the only solution. Five minutes later, the low-dpi display was in the closet, because I couldn't stand the blurry fonts.
Do you have a cite for why this would be the best model?

What metric are you using to establish that claim though? Most people don't know what they don't know.
Synthetic fuels, if I recall correctly, cost about 5x more than refined oil, which is why we pump oil instead of making synthetics.

As you say, there isn't going to be any magic solution for jet aircraft. It's an energy/weight problem, and jet fuel is really really hard to beat for that. For batteries it would not be a little breakthrough needed, it would need to be an incredible breakthrough, and nobody has any idea how that might work.

The fundamental issue is batteries, in essence, carry their own "oxidizer" with them, which is very heavy. With jet fuel, you just suck the oxidizer from the air as needed. Any battery that used air as its "oxidizer" would be, literally, burning it, and wouldn't be a battery.
Just like health checks and business clearance certifications don't avoid nasty food joints to open doors, or folks selling stuff on the sidewalks, yet they eventually get closed down.
As much as the Daily Mail is trashy it usually has more details than the other papers. A month back there was a murder outside a Korean restaurant in London. The BBC and others had only passing details[0] (though they eventually got to same place 4 days later[1]).

> Witnesses said violence broke out near the restaurant. // One man who was in a building on the side road said: "There was shouting in the street and it escalated into a full-blown row. There was a weapon and someone fell to the ground." (BBC[0])

Compared to The Daily Mail's[2] article:

> The incident is alleged to have involved workers at the restaurant, which claims to be the first in the UK having opened in 1975. // A worker in a nearby shop said the violence had broken out inside. // Another onlooker said: 'I saw two men outside the Korean restaurant arguing. They were really shouting at each other. // 'I couldn't hear what they were saying but they appeared to be Korean. Then they both went inside.' (Daily Mail[2])

It's the Daily Mail that tells a more accurate accounting. With the BBC and no real details you might believe from this incident that you could get stabbed near Oxford St. The extra details in the Daily mail indicate it was an altercation between workers -- something that has been confirmed now that the Chef has been charged.

Given the propensity of my mother (in Australia) to read vague articles and decide that I'm going to get murdered overseas, sometimes more information is better.

Note: I know there plenty of examples where the Daily Mail has stepped over the line and not in the public interest.

The energy efficiency of refining jet fuel is 95.3%.

Google "energy efficiency of refining jet fuel"

Who knows what the energy efficiency of refining plants into jet fuel is, but I bet it's a lot less than 95.3%. The article doesn't cite what it is.

One key motivation for building this was that, despite there being other similar tools out there, I wanted a utility that was language-agnostic, meaning I could make test assertions without having to write in some particular language. So Mock was designed this way where assertions are made by simply doing HTTP calls. Another point was installation - setting up Mock in your CI is a matter of just downloading the executable file, where other alternatives required me to install Java SDK, or Nodejs, or whathever programming language their utility was written in, resulting in CI scripts more complicated than what I wanted.
