I agree the new products that Apple released yesterday are underwhelming but this author lost me with constantly saying "Plus the cost of the keyboard" or even rolling it's price into the iPad price to inflate it even further. It feels very dishonest.

So now we can just add all the accessories a device has to the price and pretend that's the price? I've owned multiple iPads (minis) and used many other iPads, I've never used a keyboard with them, I'd never consider the cost of an accessory like a keyboard when thinking about the iPad price itself. Like maybe factor in a case/cover but even that's a stretch since every tablet needs that, Apple or not.

I recently created a code boilerplate for solo founders looking to build a SaaS app fast. In this article, I share the logging strategy used in the boilerplate. Is there anything you feel is left out or can be improved?
I wonder if this is a scenario where it would make sense to advertise competence by offering more information to the user. Imagine a big visualization on the ground floor showing all 101 floors, the location of each elevator, which floors are waiting on people, where each elevator plans to stop, estimated ETAs, etc. It'd give waiting folks something pretty to idly study, and it'd also provide reassurance that the elevators are all doing quite a lot of work in a reasonably intelligent way. You'd probably need to balance this against some privacy concerns (maybe it's a bad idea to show people exactly when someone in the penthouse gets into the elevator).
That's the biggest challenge - it's not really a WireGuard problem, but "something" needs to be able to tell iOS "use server X for *.blah, otherwise use whatever servers you got from the WiFi connection".
This app makes sense when:

- You're just solving "seriousplay" i.e. code challenges

- Most of the code is boilerplate and you can inject a couple of variables here and there and press a button to deploy

- Quickly fix something that can be done on the fly while you're sitting in the underground (typos, small PRs)

- Any future where AI takes over and starts suggesting the code you want to write and literally takes your hand and guides you, so you write better code faster.
I would agree that it is manageable to make shopping work without a car, but I'd rather not spend more time going to and from the store, and I'd rather drive a little further to cheaper stores for bulk goods. Also, I don't think the mega shopping is what justifies owning a car, it's more a product that I already have a car because I need to go to work. The car is a sunk cost in most of America.
Fair. That being said, we've come a long way by now. Lots of our users deploy Kill Bill in "cloud-native" environments these days (e.g. k8s).

Also, we've deprecated JRuby support. Plugins are either written in Java or in other languages through grpc shims (e.g. Go).
My coworkers used to joke that we used C++ but wrote C--. I never knew the Java joke or that someone made it into an actual standalone language.
You Suck at User Interaction
Chromium is more secure than Firefox (wrt things like sandboxing), especially on mobile.

As far as I know, uBO on Firefox is still a bit stronger than Brave Shields, but the gap is steadily closing.

DDG (at least on Mac) runs on WebKit, so it has all the issues of running WebKit, but if you care about the Chromium near monopoly, it's a way to get something that's not Chromium, probably has decently aggressive antitracking features, and has an engine web devs care about because of Safari.
This is really overlooking the complications that MANY women have with pumping: supply drops, increased mastitis (the pumps are not nearly as effective as the real thing), and most of all, lack of real time response to the babies needs.

Just handwaving "but pumps!" really undermines how much effort this takes for women.
There was (is?) a strong suspicion on the part of the British that the whole 1776 kerfuffle was likely caused by the colony being infested with pirates and smugglers, and not liking being cracked down upon.
Your co-workers know you and the position better than your managers. They might have insight into productivity that are uncomfortable...

When I talk to people about going back to the office so many are unreasonably strident that they never will, to the point it seems like a social anxiety instead of a time/productivity choice. They often say things which are obviously wrong such as "there's no difference in productivity" when that is clearly dependent on person, task, and team. Or maybe it's that they've retreated into depression during Covid and this is unconscious coping.

Anyways, teams are teams and if someone doesn't want to be part of one there are other classes of work where you produce alone and those are more appropriate to people who cannot or will not go to the office. The extreme WFH people should evaluate their positions and see if they're in their optimal role or if they're now blocking others and change their career to give them their preferences. (The rabid WHO people are also an issue from their side of course.)
Right. Companies are compelled to competitively price their product. They still seek profit, but are not at will to price whatever they want. I'm not sure then how you arrive at the conclusion that "the free market trumpeteers are wrong."

I don't think anyone disagrees that companies must price their product competitively and that they seek profit, those are uncontroversial facts.
I'm not sure we'll ever eclipse the awesomeness of the VB6 error: "Method ~ of object ~ failed".

On a more serious note, error messages is something I always try to keep in mind on in code reviews. Most error messages the code I review deals with are only ever seen in production logs, so I try to think what I'd do with that message (and accompanying details) if I saw it in production.
Login for a text editor. The mobile phone software experience sucks (in general).
What is E5?
In my personal politics, Brexit was a disaster to crown the Tories’ slow descent from covert stupidity to overt flip-flopping chaos.

That said, this site just lacks the appeal to me. The rickroll is cute, but it just underlines a website style which feels a bit unserious, and while I certainly think this sort of thing shouldn’t be dry and depressing, it does sort of undercut it (especially considering the privacy popup is full-screen on mobile, which is a design no-no in my eyes).

As much as I hate to say it, the best course of action is to lean into rhetoric on key data points, like the infamous “£350m to NHS” on the side of a bus. While the site clearly feels like a project of serious passion, it feels like it lacks any punchiness, any meaningful slogans, any real impetus. “We want our star back” as a slogan implies to me that this site’s focus is preaching to the converted, which will at best put people off and at worst distract people from ways they can actually encourage better UK-EU relations.

This isn’t something that will even be on the table for likely a good general election or three, but even still, it feels like a focus on figures with a minimalist style would be a better approach.

While Don’t Pay UK [1] sort of had a rough time, you can’t deny their website and approach to messaging is quite appealing, probably because they’ve been taking notes from the Civil Service’s own excellent design style for the gov.uk site [2]. Then it’s a case of re-injecting a bit of flair into the style, star-based or otherwise, rather than going all in on CSS animations that undercut the message.

> I can't imagine trust for a new cloud gaming provider being super high

The target audience for Netflix shouldn't know they're playing a cloud game. Netflix is too big to cater to power users, casual gamers are a much much bigger group.

I think there's some hope. Netflix has good expertise in streaming infrastructure and if they play to cloud gaming's strength like turn-based games, they have a chance to last longer than Stadia (RIP).
> To end users, they're identical, and different names are confusing.

They're not though are they? For example USB4 supports Thunderbolt 3 and PCIe tunnelling but USB 3.2 2x2 does not.

We did re-negotiate, en masse. This is why the office is no longer an expectation.

I don't know about your org, but I had a conversation with my manager, and all my reports had a conversation with me about it.
This worked it's way up the org chart until the CEO understood what the new reality was.
Just charge them the cost of 1-months savings.

Seems like a fair amount for them to spend for your efficiency gains and quick ROI for them :)
How does it compare with the one in Edge? Edge's annotation features are really awesome; PDF or websites. I used Edge extensively to annotate ebooks for studies. It was a real life saver.
I would also love this except for the fact we live in an economic system where younger people must support older people via taxes and also where growth is necessary, not a nice-to-have.
I hope they gain enough xp from this and other cities to test out harsher cities. Additionally, if this offering becomes attractive enough more challenging cities like NY and Chicago may themselves get involved in this process.
We breastfed our daughter. Her mother pumped to cover times when she was working, and I fed our daughter. The only time this was an issue was when her mother left for a week-long conference. Accumulating supply for that period (and her dealing with the unused supply while away) was mildly challenging but we managed just fine.

I then went on to quit work and stayed home to raise our daughter (she's now nearing 28 year old).

I'm a strong believer in having a stay-at-home parent, but this "women raise children" thing needs to stop.
Then they get recorded and dealt with by the law just like burning any random parked car.

Haven’t 4 or 6 people literally died on the NYC subway in the last 6 weeks?

NYC needs more law & order
So your contention is that it’s not a bad law. It’s just an unenforced law and therefore is still ineffective?

As far as appealing to the majority, if the majority don’t like the consequences of a law, in a democratic society isn’t that prima facie a bad law unless the law is to protect the minority from the majority?

If the websites complied with a law in a form that made web browsing worse and didn’t achieve its intended purpose - isn’t that yet another sign of a badly written law?
> decimating away the magic

Therein lies the problem. I have struggled with this, as I've seen places I "discovered" and loved become unlovable because too many others discovered. I know it's selfish of me to want it for myself, pristine, and not want to be overrun with others like me.

Despite this, the world is really large. For example, there are magical places in northern Thailand (minus the snowskiing) where one could setup shop and have spectacular nature, relative seclusion, but still good access to low cost food, housing, healthcare, etc.

What I dislike intensely is when the youtube-influencer crowd shows up. I feel embarrassed to see other westerners trotting around, talking loudly while holding up a camera, and acting as if they are kings on holiday. I know I exaggerate a bit, but I still worry at the impression it gives to local people. I like to be welcomed and appreciated, not viewed as an exploiter.

All that beside the point, I do think that travel benefits everyone. Some measure of care must be taken to "tread lightly", but it can be done, and on budget. And who knows... whether Ecuador or Mexico or Thailand or even rural France (no jab, just light humor to the amphibians :P... it's very lovely there), there are sights and experiences to be discovered and even new human connections to be made.
According to Eich, something like 20% of their userbase or so. I personally have no interest in it, but don't mind their ad model. The company does sell real money services - perhaps most notably in the "pay for the browser" type category, they offer a paid, ad-free version of Brave Search.
A big move for sure. The LA demographics are much less tech heavy than other cities. Hopefully they succeed and have a model where transportation become cheaper and more efficient and an individual owning a car becomes an option rather than a necessity.
Yeah, this is bringing back memories for me too. Is controlling an elevator a common coding exercise? When I started learning C I was just learning on my own and wrote something like this too, although it was only 2 elevators I worked to limit the amount of time people in an office building spent waiting. At one point I had over 50 fake people each assigned to a floor and a schedule (including breaks and and lunches), and even cleaning staff who went floor to floor a couple times a day. I don't remember where the idea for it came from though.
This is fantastic news. I’ve watched a bunch of the unedited videos of waymo in San Francisco and it seems to be pretty robust.

The languages are all bog standard and you can configure the environment for execution via Nix. Not on the mobile (or I've missed it) but via the website you can connect projects to git repos. So none of the data is locked in in any way.

In principle, this means you should be able to clone any project and run it on your own machine(s) with little effort if you're aware of how to set up nix and git in the first place.

Agreed. Our society should be measured in the happiness and health/living security of its citizens, and by technological advancement. The acquisition of wealth can be a means to that end, not the end itself.
Is it possible the failure rates get so low with modern birth control that it is almost impossible to offset with increased amount of sex? Specifically, IUDs.

https://americanpregnancy.org/unplanned-pregnancy/birth-cont...

Even the pill is listed at 9%, which is low, and of course, abortion is the last resort to completely prevent a birth.

For couples who are finished having children, a vasectomy also basically has a 0% failure rate.
Fifth class would be when sellers repurpose old listings for totally different products, which keeps the reviews of the old product.

This is a super simple problem to solve technically (just require manual review when more than 10% of the description text changes), proving that Amazon is absolutely complicit in whatever bad shenanigans are happening on their platform.
The article says Waymo already operates in Phoenix and San Francisco, is LA any different in this regard?
Except for surrogates and wet nurses, you cannot delegate pregnancy and breast feeding.

You can make things more equal between men and women. But some unescapable biological realities still exist.

> Why not something like a GI-bills structure to reward having children? Blows my damn mind people think sacrifice is a necessary part of having a child from society's point of view.

Sounds something that Mitt Romney and moderate Republicans (if there are any other ones left) would be all in favor of. Would be a popular bi-partisan policy proposal in a sane US political environment.
1x RCU gives you 1 strongly consistent read of up to 4KB _per second_. So 8000 reads per second require 8000 RCUs, which at list pricing comes to $1 per hour. And that's assuming reads do need to be strongly consistent (otherwise half the price) and no discounts are applied.
Except those "monopolies" ship freight at drastically lower prices than their European counterparts.

> There. is. no. scheme.

It's a scheme, a business plan. If my understanding of it is correct, it's not a scam but it's certainly a scheme.

> Show me any other company that is doing anything that can become a real threat to Google/MS/Facebook, and I will support it as well.

Wish I could, Mozilla certainly isn't such an example. Brave is unlikely to ever get their foot in the door because their business model smells like a scam. I don't think there are any viable technical solutions to the threat of Google/MS/Facebook, only political/legislative solutions. But if anybody proves me wrong I'll be thankful.
yes, but did they compare to fathers who abandon their partner? or don't even know that they are a father? and likewise to fathers who adopt?

i strongly suspect that it's the act of actively becoming a parent, whether biological or adoptive that is responsible for that change in hormones
That's quite false of course. We moderate such posts all the time.

Isn't that journey possible if you just use an American flagged ship with a crew of Americans starting at Coatzacoalcos, Mexico? In the original article you linked [2] I didn't see any mention of how using Americans would be cost prohibitive.

These are all reasonable things to want and to track down, but it's worth noting that you in fact don't want WireGuard to support these things out of the box; the point of WireGuard is that it has exactly one job, and that job is integrated as deeply as possible with Linux networking. The things you're asking for are meant to be layered on top of WireGuard.
I think $40 a year just for the split feature is a little too much. However, adding more useful features for manipulating CSV files would probably change my mind about it. For example, doing some reorder or preprocess of the files as if people split into X files they'll have to do that action X times if they do it in Excel directly.
Not everyone who struggles in life would rather not live. I think it's quite arrogant to contemplate whether living is worth it for another human being.

>Naval battles are fought by aircraft carried on ships.

In other words, there's a whole new cost and technology center. Modern naval warfare was unimaginable in 1920. The fact that "there is a boat involved" is not sufficient justification.

>Global power projection has always been the focus of the US Navy since its inception.

The US Navy was founded in 1794. So no.

>North Carolina and Iowa are far from each other separated by mountains.

Iowa is on the Mississippi, the Chicago Portage exists, the Erie canal exists, etc. I was quoting the author who had studied the issue: you should give your opponents more credit than that.
Preach, I haven't been to Paris since the Covid restrictions started and I feel so much more rested, I added the 2-3 hours commute to my sleep time and you couldn't get me to leave my dead little suburban town for any salary.

I do feel some nostalgia for the in-office days but mostly for the times I was alone, like driving through an industrial zone at 5 A.M and seeing the bright red lights of a biochemical plant, the smell of car exhaust for some reason, seeing someone sitting at their desk by the single lit window of an office tower, getting to work first and getting to turn on the lights and get the coffee ready in a completely empty and silent building among many completely empty and silent buildings.
The iPhone vs Android war has cooled because after years of maturing hard/software, establishing UX, and also lock-in, most people just stick with what they know. It's not so much about the tech anymore. Apple doesn't have a visionary CEO anymore, and Android was a copy of the iPhone to begin with. Seems like both sides are less interested in giving users what they want now, or giving what they don't yet realize they want. Sometimes it's about milking the userbase, like when every big phone-maker almost simultaneously removed the jack to sell new accessories. I even feel like the push for big screens was about changing the customers' habits. But this typing issue has to just be sloppiness.

The only reason I didn't get an SE 2016 is cause I had no choice. My 6 broke right before a big trip, and I needed a new phone; 12 mini is what they had.
I remember back in the early 90's seeing for the first time a post-WW2 map that just said "Germany." Not East Germany and West Germany, but just Germany. Stood and stared at it for while with a weird mix of emotions.
Thanks for including a comment. It seems that the OP is looking for both direction and peace, and I hoped to share the thought process that I would have in his situation, which can be (and is to me) a really big help (with addressing possible regrets, long-term important family issues, knowing what to do now, etc).

(Heh. I'm learning Rust.)

Edit: Maybe I should have been more clear: that stuff about the next life includes the possibility of having a posterity and maintaining family ties, which seems directly a possible comfort and help, for the OP, and me.
Happened to me to a minor degree. After a couple years at the first company I worked for, a number of very senior folks resigned - decimating a department which was a key part of the co's DNA. I transferred into that department - working under the remaining sr. staffer trying to pick up the pieces and keep thing moving ahead. Soon afterwards, the company "reorganized", selling off all their products, focusing on one "hot new thing" and moved the HQ across the country. I had been dutifully attending meetings and doing my best to keep existing project moving ahead.

Eventually, the office started emptying out as people either left, were laid off, or transferred to the new office. Finally after I was practically the only person in a wing of the building, I went to HR and asked what was to become of me. They said "Oh, we forgot about you. We'll get back to you." A few weeks later, I was offered the option of accepting a role in the re-orged company or taking a severance package. I took the payout and went on my merry way.
Obviously if something is a good idea, then that's the evidence we need to force others to fund it at gunpoint of the tax man.
I wonder the another thing. If they were talking about shutting them down, did the also stop hiring of new personnel? What about nuclear fuel, equipment, etc.?

Isn't preparing for shutdown something completely different than keeping the plants running?
> Transporting freight via river systems is cheaper and greener than using road and rail.

True - so long as the navigable waterways reach the points which you need to ship from & to. And the cargo isn't particularly time-sensitive. And exceptional droughts do not lower the rivers so far that "navigable" is only on paper, and not on the no-longer-there water. That last issue is getting to be a major problem this year.

Edit: Also recall that in the northern parts of the U.S., even the largest navigable waterways may close down for a few months every winter, due to ice / winter storms / etc.
