The "promotion" to MAC (moves additions changes) technician was my first raise.

Please go to this client, take these monitors upstairs, and deploy them. We expect this to be your next few months.

For $4 an hour more than I was making as MSP sysadmin? Sounds awesome!

I was disappointed when that contract ran out.
We're open to that possibility. We know the broad idea we want to apply with schema extensions, but we're still figuring out the right DX on the execution.
Funny I tend to strip them when they’re already over tightened.
You start by saying you're not generalizing to literally everyone, but then you follow up by generalizing to literally everyone.

You can state that "my attachment to my kid has nothing to do with how I feel about kids in general" but the way you've phrased it makes it generalized and you apply it to the generic you. Talking about "your attachment to your kid" reads very much like lecturing me about how you're telling me I'll feel.
This is passive aggressive as all hell.

Whenever I ask “why did you build this?”, the answer “just for fun” is one that I find admirable. Replies like this just punish curious conversation between hackers.

Life is too short for this kind of snark.
Not sure. Many people are happy to take risks to improve the lives of the next generation. I work in R&D and when my kids have asked if I could die at work, I say “yes” with a smile :)
This looks great, looking forward to giving it a go.

Interested to see how it works for me though my set up is some what unique in between using Tailscale and NextDNS on my mobile phone. Thanks for creating this, Android is in desperate need of more tools like this.
You'll likely need to get some custom development done to avoid ongoing subscription costs in favor of a larger up-front cost. I've done this type of thing a few times in my career and have found that while platforms like Vimeo and Streamable can be nice and cost effective early on, it's probably cheaper long-term to have something bespoke created.
I actually have a couple of hard drives mounted in bubblewrap. Cuts the noise down quite a bit! =-) [Okay, not that bubblewrap].
Hope they are looking at plantains too, which look like bananas, but aren't the same. Was totally tricked when seeing them for the first time. They aren't eaten raw, but are usually cooked. Plantains are a popular food of the Caribbean.
Awesome! I really enjoyed the mechanical watches post as well: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch
I might send this to some of my friends who are high school science teachers.
I have the same problem trying to find a graphics adventure-style video game for 8-bit Apple called "Necromancer" that was not the game of the same title for 8-bit Atari and C64. Rather than a perspective view, graphics gave a bird's eye view. Ridiculously, I remember being impressed with the graphic representation of the necromancer's keep, which was just a little hollow square on the screen. Played it a lot in 1980, or possibly as late as 1982. I've only been looking for it for about 15 years. Seems to have disappeared because not even the expert 8-bit Apple folks can find it. It doesn't help that Google search has gotten a lot worse in the last 15 years. I've looked so hard at various times, just thinking about it now give me a headache.
My house is 40 years old. To "bring it up to code" would have one simple step: demolish the whole house. There is no way you will ever economically bring a structure this old up to code.
I don't know what they are talking about specifically, but 17 CFR 240.10b5 1(c)(1) allows insiders to adopt "trading plans". This is basically where you give someone else binding instructions ahead of time on how to trade (e.g. sell X units when price reaches $Y) – trades made under such a plan can be exempted from "no trade" periods around results time and major announcements.

I think most US publicly listed firms use them, but usually only for senior executives; I don't think there is any reason in principle why a firm couldn't make them available to all employees.
I have never worked for a company where the PM was an honest to goodness subject matter expert. There have been PMs who learned a lot about the domain, the same way good experienced software devs do.

But the majority of the time it feels like we just stuck a middleman in between engineering and the real subject matter experts.
The taskbar is now immovable?? When did that happen?
When I was younger I cared more about having an impact on the world.

A lot of reflection later, I've dropped most of that, and I've embraced your view. The following quote influenced me a lot.

Definitely and unequivocally getting worse. Seems to be the trend on most consumer devices. The latest interface on the Kindle, for instance, verges on unusable. Whoever signed off on that should be fired.
Why? When have they ever dropped compatibility, and what would their motivation be?
Anyone else getting a TLS cert for this link with a CN of *.store.yahoo.com?
Gonna disagree with all of the other comments so far: yes, you’ll have to deal with another set of USB-C connectors with a slightly different capability matrix.
That probably will still make it as a product name, somewhere.
ipads (like phones) are appliances... designed for consuming. Much like a microwave or a fridge. they're designed for very specific scenarios. sure you could make it do other things... but it will not be very effective.

Laptops are swiss-army knives. you can create/consume/compute and they're pretty effective at all those things.
It reminds me of MRE packaging.
>There is no evidence the work, performed under biosecurity level 3 precautions in BU’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories, was conducted improperly or unsafely. In fact, it was approved by an internal biosafety review committee and Boston’s Public Health Commission, the university said Monday night.

Theat doesn't mean it can't be accidentally released, it just means there is less of a chance.
I think that in Hollywood just as in software, there is a mix of people who create things to create, people who create things because creations are valuable and come with associated money and power and fame, and people who fall somewhere in-between.

It's fun to think of famous directors on this spectrum. For some reason, the "I do it for the money" part of the spectrum seems vaguely disreputable, even if it does make good art (major video game studios come to mind, along with giant cinematic franchises like MCU/Star Wars/etc).

It's interesting when very elaborate art (that requires actual artistry) becomes an industrial product, output from a gigantic megaindustry with thousands of people in hundreds of supply-chain corporations beholden to fiduciary duty.

I think Zuckerberg is more right than Sorkin.
What exactly is USB4 2.0? Why isn't it called USB 4.1?
and knowing three of them IRL I really trust them to make something amazing - they already do especially with the work on microcontrollers and it will likely be my first choice if I have to show an UI from an uc - but API-wise Slint is quite similar to QML with a declarative tree approach ; having worked now on maybe 3 dozens of distinct projects using either QML or Qt Widgets (traditional widget tree retained API), ranging from one-shot software used at 1 event written in an afternoon, to car dashboards, to traditional WIMP author software, to freakin Unity3D plug-ins, I still find the widget API better for many, many cases (mainly in the technical and CRUD UIs which I mostly use my computers for).

But when I say "Rust does not have Qt" this is actually not what I refer to.

A big point of Qt is that you have a complete consistent library with an event loop that will handle everything from GUI to network / serial port communication / media playback / JS scripting / database access / ... transparently, with APIs that are fairly cohesive. With Rust whenever I looked at it it was async API flamewar and the need to use 50 libraries that all have slightly different conventions, namings, etc. Qt brings consistency, just like boost does, and that's why I like using those ; most of the time I don't even have to think about what the name of something is going to be in a class / type I've never used, because it's obvious from the naming scheme of the library.
>>>Russia has switched off the gas before, such as when Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014.

Russia switched off the gas 7 years after Putin was screaming from the rooftops that the US sticking ABMs in Eastern Europe was a red line for Russia. That's Russia being an unreliable partner?

Aka the toxic engagement trap. I miss the days when unfathomable AI didn't dictate what's popular.
This pretty much means debugging a running process' assembly code

You can already do this but it is a difficult way to play
I go all the way to “full-fat” release. Documentation, tests, ultra-high Quality, etc. I even set up social media cards on my repos.

I do every one of my projects -even the “farting around” ones- as if I were under contract with a Fortune 50 company.

I know it sounds crazy, but I guess I’m a completionist. I also like to establish the habit of ship. It’s important to do everything as if it will ship, so the stuff that actually does ship happens almost effortlessly.

Just this morning, I attended a video class, on Apple’s new DocC documentation generator. I plan to massively improve the developer docs for my projects, going forward.
Where the heck did you get a cable that can't charge? Unless you mean it can't go over 60 watts?
This entire conversation is assuming that `unsafe` in Rust is designed to be syntactic salt to discourage unsafe code, but this is false. The `unsafe` keyword exists to make it easier to understand, review, and audit where memory-safety invariants might ultimately be violated in a zillion-line program, so that instead of needing to carefully consider a zillion lines you only need to consider a tiny fraction of those. It's not there to make programmers' lives harder, it's intended to make programmers' lives easier.
Bullish that Dorsey is involved. Dorsey as a high status rich guy could attract lots of users and developers.
He’ll also kill activitypub as AT protocol will soon be much better funded with more developers.
Yeah but now I have to consider suicidal teenagers and climate change. I'll be lucky to live to 70, my (potential) kids, maybe 60, if the environment doesn't completely collapse.

If Only the Kids Knew About Pipes
Apple is Apple only, and is an upmarket status signal. Not a good fit as a cross-device services layer, which is what Thompson is talking about there.

Google is moving in that direction (including hiring a former Office exec to run Workspace), in providing an integrated bundle. They're just behind, and have been fucking around with their chat, which is one of the cornerstones of the cloud platform.

As Thompson notes, Teams was built to be the "web OS" from the get go, not a Slack clone even though most thought it was one. In Thompson's view, the best players to try to be the web OS are chat providers (due to chat network effects) and cloud storage providers. You can already see Salesforce and Dropbox making moves in that direction.

To quote:

> This is what Slack — and Silicon Valley, generally — failed to understand about Microsoft’s competitive advantage: the company doesn’t win just because it bundles, or because it has a superior ground game. By virtue of doing everything, even if mediocrely, the company is providing a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, particularly for the non-tech workers that are in fact most of the market. Slack may have infused its chat client with love, but chatting is a means to an end, and Microsoft often seems like the only enterprise company that understands that.

...

> Here’s the thing, though: Dropbox absolutely is better than OneDrive. Google Apps are better at collaboration than Microsoft’s Office apps. Asana is better than Planner. And, to be very clear, Slack is massively better than Teams at chat. Using all of them together, though, well, it sucks: the user experience that matters for me is not any one app but all of them at once, and for the way I want to work, having everything organized in one single place is simply better (and that’s even with the normal spate of maddening Microsoft UI oddities!). In this Teams is less a chat app than it is a file explorer for the cloud generally, and Stratechery LLC specifically.

(me again)

Google, in theory, has the pieces to do it. But they're just behind in many ways - compliance, Microsoft's MSP network and sales staff on the ground, management tools, stuff like that. And there's the other question of "do they have enough at least mediocre things integrated together well enough" to make the play. They might, but not yet.
What is TSMC/Taiwan’s unique capability? Aren’t ASML in Europe the ones making cutting edge EUV machines that drive process shrinks? I genuinely don’t know but I assume TSMC is mostly just good at scaling the production up economically.
Cynically I believe that person to be judgmental and self-absorbed in their motives for asking the question at the party. They didn't care about your answer, they wanted you to ask them the same in return so they could feel good about themself. It's all too typical in SF in my experience. That said, I love living in a city where people are genuinely passionate about making things better (at least in their estimation).
What would my interviewer think if I answered that question with pussy and money tho?

Part of the beauty of this exposition is the respect for the reader knowing their own mind and controlling the consumption themselves.

Will this work for teachers in a classroom? Likely not as the kids who don't care, will skip everything they can. And this page will let them, because if you don't care to understand then this page is not for you.
Yup. I only signed up for peacock because Comcast gave it to me, and HBO for a similar reason. Paramount was offered but even free it seems not worth it. I don't subscribe to Netflix, but may rejoin next year for a couple months to catch up.

Subjectively, of course, I've found Netflix content as a whole has gotten much worse each year. I also feel they're padding numbers with a shitton of foreign content most people probably aren't interested in.

Then again, Stranger Things dropped in Q3 I believe, so it could have been a rush of month or two subscribers.
It is not social media’s responsibility to control election misinformation. Period. They are dishonest and left wing, as are most of the media. Remember they suppressed the Hunter Biden stories and promoted the Russian collusion scam. Why exactly would we want them to regulate speech?

I don’t know that the GP comment disagrees - I think you’re just actually still in the hardest phase. imho it gets much better and more interesting soon! And then they’re teens you can have amazing conversations with them. And while we aren’t there yet, I gather from everyone that being a grandparent is bliss. Sending you positive vibes!
> Most likely the system integration tests are non-existent either so good luck with that regression.

I remember once taking down production by adding some health checks to a microservice that someone had thrown over the fence. Of course there were no integration tests, but this microservice wasn't deployed in staging environments either, so production was the only place to test it.
InfiniPath / OmniPath dates back to 2004. Cornelis Networks sells the current generation.

Time is not just measured in times of hours, days, and years, but also in emotion and $$$.
Well it seems you're determined to dismiss any scenario. I won't try to convince you.

But, I hope we do agree without question that it's possible, should we wish to do so.

Main argument is it is less dangerous.. discovered AFTER creating it.
I said "measurably". That is to say it has no impact on your life, other than reducing the amount of money you have.

Anyone who took a basic combinatorics or discrete math class can explain the mathematical difference, which is obviously nonzero.
A USB-C 3.0 100W cable is more like $20 and does everything other than Thunderbolt. The OP must have really bad luck.
> norm really should be to not reproduce

Humans, just like other organisms, can't help themselves.

More seriously, we are expressions of replicating organic matter, the vessels for this process to continue to unfold. Humans are a phase in a long progression of evolution by natural selection. One day, just like long ago, "we" will no longer be around. And that's OK.
The lack of a human face and inflections in voice can make anything come across as passive aggressive. Reading the question "why did you build this" can come across as many different ways, including condescending.
Aren't companies like these supposed to have longer term horizons on projects etc? Wouldn't a glut of talent mean more opportunities to build without distractions?
Stable Diffusion inference locally on iOS / macOS using MPSGraph
This is not my project. Just found it super cool that SD can run on iOS.
It's not we exactly "simplicity". If you have two explanations arriving at identical results, take the one with less assumptions.

It's helpful to look at it the other way around. Thomas Aquinas worded his version of it:

> it is superfluous to suppose that what can be accounted for by a few principles has been produced by many.

There's a subtle difference, and that's probably why we see it called the parsimony principle instead of the simplicity principle. The point being not to have nonessential crap hanging off your theory -- provided you've established that it's genuinely nonessential.
Man this reminds me of American Beauty. Good memories.
With high tech manufacturing you’d want to compare against mature higher risk industries such as oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food manufacturing, and semiconductors, plus military noncombat operations and military contractors.

There are ideally engineering controls and standard operating procedures or documented deviations, even in research or pilot facilities. Construction and agriculture, apart from the design phase (like residential crafts, HVAC, industrial electricians or cement etc) do not have the same workplace standards as an industrial facility or field site with cohabitation of engineering, operations, and contractors. There are always exceptions with safe contractors and bad facilities.

If you are routinely testing a pressure relief valve and there is not a documented procedure around this or a permit addressing limiting exposure to that energy that might be a problem in retrospect. Ideally, industries would operate in good faith of regulations and not just outside the envelope of punitive measures. But regulatory stuff is complicated and specific depending on location. I simply wanted to point out it would be helpful to compare incident statistics against common risk profile industries.
The only time I regret having kids is when I see them suffer (even for small things like being down with flu). Much easier to suffer ourselves than see our own kids suffer. Really brings out the vulnerability in people.

Question from a gen 1 iPad Pro user (first USB-C iPad):

Is the usb>hdmi output still a disaster?

I noticed a huge downgrade in compatibility from my previous ipads doing presentations with the lightning port.

I even diagnosed an issue where the iPad pro would not output to HDMI using Apple’s official dongle if the HDMI cable was longer than 25 ft. Ha (iphone/lightning adapter worked fine in the same setup).
It makes sense parents that don’t share the load equally drift apart. I see so many families where one parent gets all the hobbies and trips while the other gets to stay home or work on kids and Housework 24/7
It's no different to someone hacking in and then copying over a modified executable, changing entries in the database, or attaching to a running process using gdb to inject code.

You still need proper access control.
Mobile screens and devices are optimized for ad-display. Everything else is de-emphasized or getting more and more broken.
In the beginning of my career I worked on a volatile multidimensional house of cards project. It was a classic ASP enterprise content management system, patched together by external contractors for 10 years or so, with seemingly no structure at all. The code base was truly “magical” in the sense that it was a miracle that it sort of worked. Contained a number of “don’t change this” and gotchas.

Projects like this doesn’t build character, it just sucks.

This reminds me of spending hours digging through Microsoft Encarta as a kid. It was full of cool animations and demos like this (though these are much better).
I'm a student, about to graduate from a BSN nursing program that's online except clinicals. I went from using a Dell laptop to using a Pinebook Pro to mostly using an iPad Air (4th gen) for everything, without making an Apple account (so no installing apps).

The iPad is managed by my uni, who installed the Canvas LMS app. I can read pdfs in the Files app, submit papers written in the Word app, attend class with the Zoom ap. Most of work happens in Safari: watching videos, taking exams, etc. I'm a heavy terminal user, so use a GateOne gateway for ssh access in the browser, allowing me to do most serious work on my user's account on a NetBSD server, working in vim, mutt, sc (spreadsheet), manipulating text with awk, browsing with lynx, managing my website, etc.

A good dock is important. I use the Pinebook Pro usb-c dock with a scroll-wheel 3-button Dell mouse and Model M buckling-spring keyboard. A recent update let bluetooth keep sending music to my stereo when docked. Keyboard shortcuts (like ctrl-a and ctrl-e for moving around the lines of a textfile) are a big part of my workflow. The docked peripherals allow more functionality than the Smart Keyboard folio. I don't like touch screens.

When I graduate, I'll probably fall back to something I like better (my little GPD or old ThinkPad X61), but for school the iPad + folio keyboard + dock + shell account is better than any other single device I have tried.
