Dune has been on my mind recently. In the universe of Dune, AI research brings humanity to the brink of ruin. After the rebellion against this, a commandment against creating AIs is added to the major religions. Those found guilty of creating or possessing thinking machines should be sentenced to immediate death. The demonstrable peril of such research is severe enough to justify that punishment.

If virologists create and lose control of something that kills billions of people, wouldn't that justify an ultimate taboo against that kind of research? Maybe that's why virologists all clam up and circle the wagons when something sketchy happens. They say nobody but other virologists are qualified to question virology, but how can they be trusted to regulate themselves?

> "functionality of language X is broken in a 1-line program, but it works in a 83-lines program in language Y"

Fair criticism. The difference though being that bash is implying a promise of being able to provide a solution in one line, but if you actually try to make bug free programs it'll end up being just as long as in Go. Without the readability, since you have to jump through crazy amounts of hoops since even the fixes/workarounds for the problems in bash don't have support in the language.

This makes bash's supposed strengths actually weaknesses, even for small programs.

> (pipes error handling are no doubt a rough area of Bash)

But that's my point when I condense this to calling bash useless. Pipes are maybe the core way that one ties together components in bash, and error handling is very important to not have bugs. Unhandled or mishandled errors are bugs.

> Asserting that only the 1-line case is the only valid use case for shell scripting

Well, I'd say that a 1-line case will not be correct, but will work in most day to day, if supervised.

And a correct shellscript can never be 1 line, and making it correct would make it 10s or 100s of lines of unreadable mess, that nobody would actually write or maintain.

Maybe there are wizards out there who write bug free bash. I've never met one. I've met many who think they are.

Most would probably be surprised that they'd have to write at least tens of lines of code to replace their use of the pipe operator, to have bug free code.

I keep hearing about the desire for developer tools on an ipad and I just don’t get it. The entirety of iPadOS would need to be overhauled in order for it to be conducive for developer work. What is the appeal of doing dev work on a touch based UI with limited access to the file system on a cramped screen? The Mac is perfectly set up for that work.
I guess I decided my original question was too specific but it led me to the bigger question.
Some interesting tidbits:

The inspiration for this shift in Google’s mindset apparently comes through two factors, starting with Samsung’s performance in the market.

Apparently, Google is “concerned” that Samsung is losing customers to Apple. iPhone shipments overtook that of Android phones in the US for the first time ever in 2022.

Comments from a senior Google Search executive, Sissie Hsiao, reveal that CEO Sundar Pichai believes that Google’s efforts in making its own hardware “best positions [Google] to be protected” from shifts in the mobile market.

The Information cites Kirk McMaster, the previous head of Cyanogen, who said that Google “can’t afford to back off” with Pixel phones and its own hardware as Apple continues to grow in the smartphone market. He added that Google pulling away from efforts to develop its own hardware would be “really ceding power to Apple.”

> Arguments like these always reminds me of the story where some town had a population register that included religion, and then the Nazis invaded.

I agree that these questions often are asked by those being deceitful, but the reason that works is because it is a dog whistle. Something that hides in normal speech. But we can't presume that someone asking a question like this is in fact dog whistling. If we do, we only enable to whistlers because honest askers will be put off by pretentious and arrogant responses. It is better to answer in good faith until they show their true colors. Even if it is a dog whistle, others will read this public forum and go "why are they attacking someone who is just asking a question?" That gives them power. So let's be honest here.

I am not defending radicals. I never said they weren't wrong. My point is that you can't tell half of the country to just screw off. And, not all conservatives hold radical positions. I know many that vote conservative mainly because of the issue of abortion.

Why shouldn't it be? If Firefox can't lead in web development, how do you even expect it to keep up with times?

I'm not sure why someone would defend Firefox's incompetency. I see things as they are and I make decisions based on that.

Even if I see things as they could be, I'd rather not bet my money on Firefox.

/me adds a new project to the backlog...
Wow. Such a profound insight could not get published for 15 years because others couldn’t grasp it. Including Lagrange!

It’s an uncomfortable reminder of how essential reputation and credibility are in the machinery of science.

”The paper contained the controversial claim that any continuous periodic signal could be represented as the sum of properly chosen sinusoidal waves. Among the reviewers were two of history's most famous mathematicians, Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813), and Pierre Simon de Laplace (1749-1827).
While Laplace and the other reviewers voted to publish the paper, Lagrange adamantly protested. For nearly 50 years, Lagrange had insisted that such an approach could not be used to represent signals with corners, i.e., discontinuous slopes, such as in square waves. The Institut de France bowed to the prestige of Lagrange, and rejected Fourier's work. It was only after Lagrange died that the paper was finally published, some 15 years later.“

Bad (and common) engineering managers avoid agreements on purpose to:

1) cover their asses

2) change anything at will

If you never agreed to anything, then you can keep demanding whatever, and blame whoever as well. It's a really shitty management style. I left such an organisation not too long ago where I would say that the engineering department survived not because of, but rather despite of the head of that department. First few years nobody had a clue what he was doing most of the days and when he decided to get actively involved it was obvious he had no clue about anything. He still has no clue but he's made sure to surround himself with incompetent yes-sayers to cement his position.

A real political genius.
> An expiration date is also required for those new tokens with a max of 1 year.

Gah, so close, yet so far.

But I guess that makes sense for personal tokens and I really need to finally look at applications, I assume they have fine-grained ACLs in the first place?

Edit:

> The permissions available to fine-grained personal access tokens are the same permissions available to GitHub Apps, and repository targeting works the same too.

In my mother's apartment building there a guy who uses his kayak in the swimming pool to practice his rolls etc. You can imagine the angst when parents bring little Johnny down for his swim. Or when tenants have a rowdy party around the pool. She is grateful that COVID rules effectively shut the pool down for a couple of years. So yeah I can totally imagine someone wanting to let their dog swim in the pool
My 2017 iPad Pro can do that. I can tap and drag on the cursor to move it. I can also long-tap and drag on the spacebar to move the cursor like a touchpad. I can also drag with 2 fingers anywhere on the keyboard to move the cursor like a touchpad. The first 2 options also work on my iPhone.

I use my tablet about as much as my desktop and laptop. My use cases are:

(1) Personal entertainment device. When relaxing on a chair or in bed, a laptop is too unwieldy. The TV gets fought over. Pretty much all my movie / YouTube watching is done on the iPad with headphones.

(2) eBook reader. Since my iPad is always withing reach, it makes sense to store all my books on it.

(3) Stylish note-taker. Not a significant part of my use, but I occasionally have stand-up meetings, and meetings in awkward locations, where a tablet makes more sense than a laptop.

(4) Signing stuff. It is much easier to store a document to be signed in OneDrive, open it on the iPad and sign it with the stylus than it is to print-sign-scan.

I’ve gone back and forth with inotify on Linux. Ned14 gave a great rundown of the ideal next steps for a best-possible implementation.

You can check out issue/10 for a full description of how it works now, why neither inotify nor our current solution is ideal, and where the project will be going next.
Strange. I have that exact iPad and it's pretty much useless now. All apps my kids want to run on it want an upgrade to a version of iOS that is not available for that model.
Interesting that you'd bring up Vivaldi. I think I tried it on my phone a few years back and it worked OK. But on a PC or Mac, it's the most bloated and slow piece of software I've seen. Which is a damn shame, because it has a lot of unique features.
The T in DNT stands for Do Not Track, not Do Not Telemetry.

Telemetry and Tracking are not mutually exclusive; both can be implemented by software developers.

Telemetry is unidentified software usage statistics from a random IP address somewhere on the Internet, generally without caring about whose telemetry it is.

Tracking is an attempt to identify who is operating the software, in order to associate that software's activity with specific human beings in a database.

DNT is Do Not Track, which means "do not attempt to identify me" — but I assume that Firefox telemetry typically isn't attempting to identify you in the first place, so making a statement about tracking with the DNT checkbox would not affect telemetry decisions.
Somehow they make this sort of model work for various classified work in places like NM (although population centers have grown around them due to their size and support requirements). I don't see why something similar can't be done for this. Plenty of Government land in those desert areas out west too.
I cannot imagine doing my job on on iPad, it's way too limited. can you open more than one google doc at a time yet? run desktop extensions on the web? open complex sheets/excel files? I have no idea what job other than sending emails and being on video calls all day could work on an ipad.
I felt like the system that’s in the portal from Facebook would be the ideal vc setup for my parents (i.e. video calling on a tv). Though, there’s no way I’d want to put a camera from Facebook in my parents house. I did try Google duo (I guess it’s call meet now?) with a Google tv, but since it was with a 3rd party web cam, things like autofocus didn’t work as well as I’d like.

When I moved into my home the first major upgrade I did was upgrading my electrical panel. The home was built in the early 80's and had a 100amp panel.

Putting in a 200 amp panel ran me about $1,000. Power company checked off on it and upgraded my meter in the process. I also added a 240v 30amp socket in the garage for things like an EV, and put a whole house surge protector on in the process.

My house has rock solid power at every socket and plenty of capacity for the future as well, definitely worth the investment.
Oh right, Duo. Those are apparently OATH HOTP codes with some propriety modifications[1]. I also have to use Duo for work but almost all of the time I acknowledge the push notification instead of use the code. Between Okta, Duo, Touch ID and a Yubikey it feels like I’m having to authenticate one way or another dozens of times a day, so I feel your pain there.

But outside of work, all my personal TOTP codes are consolidated.

Parents actually teach their children a lot before they potentially head out for more formal educating, so even if we assume parents don't have teaching experience from their professions, I don't think it is very accurate to suggest they haven't taught anything.

I do question that having a single teacher for 20+ students teaching all subjects for the entire school year is obviously going to work better than motivated homeschooling parent(s). While teachers do have formal education on the matter, it also includes how to manage many children in a classroom setting and how to interface with schools and their processes. The part of the education pertaining to the subjects teachers teach is actually pretty incomplete. To teach elementary students, you have a major, but still teach them subjects that you might only have an average understanding of (like a history major teaching a music class).

Given all that, it doesn't seem hard to believe that parents could do better for a single child than pre-school and elementary school teachers.

As a child gets older their needs evolve such that no one person has everything required to best support that child. That is an advantage of schools (usually high school), but could also be solved with tutoring and other programs available to homeschoolers.
Nice that the ROS community is starting to get hip to web/cloud community innovations. Back when I worked on ROS heavily (about 2 years ago), it felt like there were tons of cases of Not Invented Here syndrome. Rosparam server, service discovery, some of the rpc concepts. Just felt like a large chunk of the stack could be replaced with pre-existing technologies that could do the job better and with more features.

TFA is traditionally the sort of thing someone would write a full solution for, entirely in ROS, and it would be rickety and opinionated, but refreshingly, they just use Prometheus, with enough Ros binding to capture the auxiliary data.
Migrating Off Heroku
My Windows laptops still get OS and software upgrades even when they are ten years old. Why does a laptop or a tablet have to be obsolete?
I use the magic trackpad, that feels more natural that touching the screen. 95% of the time my laptop is docker to a USB-C monitor, so having a touchscreen would be a little weird. For professional use, I'd guess that most people have a larger monitor hooked up anyway. For a touchscreen to make sense, my monitor would need to be touch as well.

The issue with the Touch Bar is the same, that's not a professional feature, or even particular useful. Apple knows this, because you can't buy a magic keyboard with the Touch Bar. If it was useful, the Touch Bar would also appear on the those and it doesn't. I'd love to know how many MacBook Pros are sold with and without the Touch Bar.

The funny thing is, there are some virologists/scientists questioning if the lab was involved (just a minority though).
Early in my tenure running a Product team I decided that one of my goals would be for PM/Design and Engineering to be as close as possible. I would literally say that I wanted them to view one another as brothers/sisters, and tried to set the example that we would go to bat for engineering (and expect the same) in almost all cases. I think it was probably one of the best organizational decisions I ever made.

I think far more common (in the fast food & retail industry) is the manager calling you up: "X called out sick, we need you to come in to do their shift, starting in 45 minutes." If the person lacks a car, then "I can't, buses don't run today" or "it will take me 90 minutes to get in by bus today".

I once worked where I lacked a car. There were 3 buses going there in the morning. The next bus going there left downtown Denver at 4pm. Between 0545 and 1600 there was no bus service to that destination. Missing the 0430, 0505 or 0545 buses meant missing work that day. When I finally managed to get a car (legal problems), I got a new job within a month.

1. "VST" is often used as a synonym for plugins, but it absolutely is not. It's one particular plugin API/format.

2. If you're doing in-the-box composition, every sound you work with probably comes from a plugin. So the idea the plugins are mostly used only by pros is not really true. Synth choice is a hot topic and highly subjective issue, I don't think people would want to be heavily constrained there.

3. "quick editing" is already available online. Not much point with us trying to compete with that.
