Also getting into that duplicate SharePoints sites discussion: groups in Teams already create SharePoint sites and you can customize those somewhat, but sometimes groups still want "their own" site with a nicer URL or slightly different customization than the auto-ones that Teams creates or don't realize there is an auto-one and go on to request their own duplicate site. I don't know if it is Teams or SharePoint that needs to get better at explaining what group sites already exist to help avoid duplicates.
So why aren't those sites on Amazon right now? Seriously, if Amazon is such an amazing bastion of allowing that disgusting content, why are KiwiFarms and the Daily Stormer not happily up and running on AWS with CloudFront?
I still don't understand why they encourage double-entry accounting for tech. In my experience entries like:

| amount | payer_id | payee_id |

| 100 | 1 | 2 |

are more than sufficient. He uses Square, Uber, and Airbnb as examples in https://www.moderntreasury.com/journal/accounting-for-develo... but, as far as I can tell, only Square uses double-entry.

Double entry accounting was for when people were hand-writing a ledger and it helped avoid mistakes. It makes no sense in code and it just makes your DB queries more complicated.

I tried setting up caddy on a machine and then using caddy to reverse-proxy requests to each service i.e. `grafana.my-machine.tail-hex.ts.net` and `controller.my-machine.tail-hex.ts`

Obviously, `caddy` has no problem with the reverse proxy bit, but I did fail at being able to point multiple routes or subnet routes at the same machine via tailscle / magic-dns.

Aren't they suing California now for having "too strict" of emissions regulations because California's position in the marketplace makes it so that their rules become de facto law of the land? If that goes through, I'm not really sure if California can do really any automotive regulation that other states won't like.

It definitely is more fun. As a kid, I won a Pokemon TCG match because my opponent never got a card they could play and forfeited (although it turns out we both just didn't know the actual rules for this). It was a little funny, but not fun to win, and I can't imagine he enjoyed it either. There's a lot of sub-optimal shuffles where the winner is so obviously pure luck it makes you wonder why you ever even considered strategy in the first place and IMO those are really unfun.

Candidates who are very clearly going for the wrong roles - like a junior position when they have decades of experience, are going to stand out like a sore thumb.

> As for the noise, as other commenters pointed out, at average city speeds most of the noise a regular car makes comes from the tires rolling, not the engine.

If that's true, cars are driving too fast. EV's are silent to about 30mph, and any speeds above 20mph are lethal to pedestrians.

> So poor people still don't have access to transport,

Poor people are the population most reliant on taxis & Ubers. Because they don't own a car, they take taxis for emergencies. They can't afford to do it often but it is a key mode of transportation for poor people.

> and the congestion is even worse than before? Why would this be a good solution to the car problems of LA?

Because it solves the problem for rich people. If a robo-taxi is the best way of getting around for rich people, then some rich people will ditch their cars. And once you've ditched your car you stop using a personal car for everything and start choosing the best option based on circumstance. And sometimes that option will be the train, or walking and not necessarily a robo-taxi.
This is exactly what we've been working on. Stay tuned ^^
I would have used Rails for the current project I'm on, but for one thing:

Data science.

In the past (around 2010 to about 2018) I did the web stuff in Rails and communicated through the database for the ML stuff I needed from Python, but even though Rails is better than Django, these days Django is good enough and it isn't worth the tooling and the employee dual lingual requirements to justify both.

It sucks and I wish I could use Ruby more. I agree Ruby and Rails are both better than Python and Django on their own, but the scientific computing part of Python is just so phenomenal that there isn't really anything to do about it anymore other than to accept it.

Ruby is like Elivish. It's poetic and beautiful and consistent where it counts, full of symbolism and grandeur, but in a world of dwarves, humans, and orcs it just isn't useful enough to justify making an entire team learn it.
This is a neat hack by management. It would be great if there was a union that they had to bargain with before doing this kind of thing.
I'm skeptical that layoffs are the real reason behind this, since it seems like a pretty ineffective way to trim headcount. Even if this results in an additional 10%[0] of employees getting "partially meets" where they would have previously gotten "meets," that'll only generate what, 2% additional attrition per year? I know "tech layoffs" generates more clicks right now than "tech performance management," but to me the framing here just doesn't make a lot of sense.

And well-developed third-party apps that integrate deeply into the rich macOS APIs. E.g., the other day someone posted Shortcat which provides keyboard shortcuts for every GUI application, by using macOS accessibility API (which apparently works everywhere, including in Electron apps):

Another good (recent) example is Mimestream, a client for Google Mail, which is one of the best mail apps that I have ever used:

Apps like that are not only a testament to the awesome indie developers in the ecosystem, but also the great APIs that make it possible to develop such application as a solo developer.

My understanding[1] is that openbsd has better 802.11 drivers than freebsd and reading the lists this is largely due to absolutely herculean effort by one person.Stefan Sperling [2]

Dramatic bio(probably none of this is true. but this lives in my head after reading the lists). Sperling never wanted to be a hero, had no training or experience interfacing with those piles of electronic treachery we affectionately call "wifi". But he wanted a change, he wanted a difference. He stepped up and wrote a patch. Now he is the sole defender between us and the vile manufactures actively trying to keep us from our starbucks internet connection. Not the hero we deserved, But the hero we needed[3].

Apparently finding people willing to work in that arcane shithole known as wifi drivers is hard. I looked once and it scared the hell out of me. A lovecraftian mess of undocumented registers and unknowable machines.

1. I don't have a laptop with FreeBSD so this is all hearsay.

2. Sperling is also writing got(game of trees) a sane implementation of git. http://gameoftrees.org/

Deleuze has a good really short essay called Postscript on Societies of Control[1] on the machinic nature of capitalism.

maybe we are saying the same thing, and I absolutely agree that Americans have a fundamentally individualist viewpoint.

however I still see your argument as being rooting in human perspective. capitalism is a human institution as much as our human body is a cellular institution. apoptosis is as fundamental to a functioning human body as exploitative labor relations are to capital.

I don't see it as submissive because in a control society, governed by computers and machine learning models, humans are in fact freed in a certain way, channeled toward production. this is coupled with ideology which is already present to make it feel less alienating, even preferable.

however capital is far from dead. and whatever human individual or institutional churning happens in the next 30 years due to tech I don't see having a significant impact.

>> Need a database? File a ticket with DevOps.

> That does seem like a bit short of the mark. E.g. that should be automated provisioning in 2018, never mind in 2022.

Serious question, as I think this has been part of my thought process in the challenges of platform engineering: what does it mean to automatically provision a database?

I can think of lots of different examples that are insufficient in one way or another (I think I'm mostly talking UX here, and how many questions the user has to answer in one way or another / infrastructure as code, not should the user have to apt-get install postgres, which should I think rather obviously be automated.) But if infrastructure as code is defined as automation, this can conflict with the developers who don't want to learn terraform and thus still leads to "file a ticket with devops"

I work with a fintech company where we have had to completely block M247 IPs due to continuous attempted fraud. We generally allow access through VPNs otherwise. We are very receptive to customer feedback, but there have been no customer complaints despite having M247 blocked for months.

New York fines EyeMed $4.5M for 2020 email hack, data breach
I didn't understand the part where the program can have secrets (closed source), non-deterministic (e.g. invokes random) or async (pulls data outside the blockchain).

If the program is closed source, you can't trust it, so you can't trust its proofs even if you can validate them quickly.

For the rest, the need to trust data is as important as trusting the code. But maybe there are applications where that's not important.

That reversed in ~2016.

Can I have the same for Micrsoft and Apple for both mobile and desktop?

For Apple I get it's different since they don't have OEMs selling Macs/iPhones/iPads but I feel like many similar restrictions should apply

Examples:

> Google shall allow the users, during the initial device setup, to choose their default search engine for all search entry points.

> Google shall not offer any monetary/ other incentives to, or enter into any arrangement with, OEMs for ensuring exclusivity for its search services.

Seems like this should go both ways given the previous one.

> Google shall allow the developers of app stores to distribute their app stores through Play Store.

> Google shall not restrict un-installing of its pre-installed apps by the users.

I know Apple has done a better job of this now than in the past but I can't uninstall the dialer on iOS where as I can on Android, as just one example still left. I'm pretty sure I can set the default camera app on Android as well and delete the built in one though I haven't used android in years so no idea if that's still a possibility.

Also, while we're at it. Will any of this apply to Chromebooks?

Nope. The cost of the hardware is always necessarily still passed on to the customer before they even pay for the subscription to "unlock" it. It's double dipping.

It makes no sense to gamble that upsells will be successful in exchange for a more competitive price. There's guaranteed loss with that idea.

The components pre-installed must cost something and it's not possible for the manufacturer to get that money back unless they both installed inferior junk nobody wants and then baked it into the price.
