Agreed. I loved the concept of wifi calling when it was introduced, but it always sucks when I use it. It always manages to find all of the flaws in the network I'm using.

It's just not worth the hassle when I can rely on a cell network that specializes in real-time voice communication.
But in this case, the question is about ATT prepaid. My understanding is that 5G, tethering, and Visual voicemail are included. Not sure about the others.
Honda doesn't employ parts makers too, but all of them are needed to produce car and deliver it to the end user. Tesla does all of that, right? So it makes sense to consider outsourced personnel as part of the chain.
Yes, this works really well. But as soon as you deploy it, the actors change tactics. We've had to build a defense in depth approach to discovering malicious packages as they are introduced into the system.
I didn't know Aegis supported the Nextcloud backup target! I was hacking my way around on earlier versions of Android using Solid Explorer's connection to my Nextcloud, but that stopped working somewhere along the way.

Elon keeps hinting about competing with airliners for trans-oceanic flights. My bet is that Starship is going to become the suborbital trans-oceanic machine that shrinks the world in a way not seen since the airliner was invented.
I have read before that some people apply for remote jobs using other people's credentials that they have collected from publicly available sources like home-pages, etc.
Mostly for incoming SMS 2FA, and to use as a phone number for deliveries, forms, etc.
Microsoft did that already years ago. Win32 hasn't been their recommended API for a very long time. They have WinRT now, which is in many ways a much nicer API except that nobody cares, it's too late already, hardly anyone writes Windows specific apps anymore and when they do it's mostly "legacy" .NET WPF stuff.

So, Windows isn't being held back by Win32 specifically. What's killing them is the combination of:

- General inability to implement new tech that can be used to pay down old tech debt (not specific to any particular API). This is largely due to ...

- A barely competent team that clearly checked out mentally years ago and doesn't care. Supposedly they lost so many people to Google and Azure that Windows hardly has any experienced seniors anymore, and if you try to use anything they did in the last 10 years then really, it shows. Worse the Windows team never shook its C++ centric culture despite badly needing the productivity and hirability boost that comes from modern GCd languages.

- Extremely poor team coherence, prioritization of projects etc. Why are they re-designing the task bar when basic initiatives flail around, unadopted for lack of bug fixes or quality docs?

None of those problems would be fixed by MS doing a new OS project because they are primarily management problems, not technical problems.
All the bits of OOP I use on a daily basis in C++ seem to have made it into rust in ways that seem pretty obvious to me.

It's true that a lot of the OOP ideas went into C++, but C++ has always been fairly agnostic to whether you actually use those features. Rust just seems to have taken that a little bit further.

The closest to an exception is inheritance, but it's been months since I've built an inheritance hierachy that wasn't just an interface that could be done with traits. When it comes up I happily use inheritance to do it and if I was writing Rust I would moan a bit and come up with an alternative design, but I'd hardly call it a big deal.

It seems like most languages built today have a thick vein of OOP in their design (discounting functional etc). You don't have to be 100% or 0%, Rust is way closer to OOP languages than it is to C.
A human developer once told me that bad data is better than no data. <facepalm>

So of course a human developer made an AI that makes bad data.
furthermore they tend to push harder against sanctions when they happen.

many of the most well known sanctioned nations (north korea, iran, turkiye, etc.) have just made their own stuff to varying degrees, based on how much they aren't allowed to buy.

furthermore bigger nations like china can fire back hard if need be.

we saw how europe's sanctions against russia were met with gas denial.

all in all, sanctions usually don't do much outside of wartime other than piss off the target of said sanctions, and actually push them to rely on you less.

It only takes one asteroid to end all life on earth. It's not a possibility, it's an inevitability. It's happened before, it will happen again, unless the hairless, bipedal fire apes that have proliferated on the planet use their newfound technology to redirect the asteroid slightly while it's far enough away.
Sometimes but I wonder to what degree it actually matters. Tasks, debuggers, extensions etc. run in the context of the VM, not the host. The Remote SSH extension turns VS Code into a "thin" client which presents pretty much just the UI.

I've actually never used this Windows feature, but in MacOS you've been able to drag a document to an application icon in the dock to open it as long as I can remember.

Windows seems to be slowly succumbing to touch-screen-itis, where the interface is designed for touching first. Dragging on a touch screen can be kind of janky at the best of times so I'm not surprised they didn't bother making this interaction work in Windows 11.
I think the simple answer is that the hype is with Rust so it will be used for just about anything, even if it is not well suited for it. This happens to every language that is sufficiently popular (and probably even some that aren't).

I myself am guilty of this, I wrote a web app recently using Rust, mainly because I wanted to learn Rust. I probably wouldn't reach for Rust next time as implementing my project in it has felt like overkill throughout.
Ford has that.

Eh, I dunno about this case. I'm an advocate for consumer protections, but these aren't consumer devices, they're enterprise devices sold under the explicit notification that they'll only work with Cisco's cloud offering.
Still a useful trick where the goal is to understand unnecessary death.
I've been there?

It's very doable and far easier than understanding C++ in my opinion.
Their account has posted much stupider stuff without taking it down. I suspect in this case they deleted it because the fact check in question prominently credited Nixon for passing the legislation. It's one thing to be technically wrong, it's another to be own-goaled.

This actually highlights kind of an editorial problem with fact checking. You are part of a PR team whose job is to post topics knowing that no matter what you say you are going to be fact checked. However, no matter how much editing you do on the statement, you have little control over what the fact check will say. Do you continue to put out statements on this platform?
The guy who runs the C2 openly has the source code for the stealer on his GitHub. Why doesn't GitHub do anything about this shit?

I've personally been hacked by a supply chain attack via a GitHub wiki link. I contacted GitHub support and didn't hear back from them for 3 months. They are completely useless.
c++ will be replaced by Carbon or D and rust and others
Roaming is a problem, esp if you are in rural areas. Prepaid is good, if you are in a major metro, and you don't go to rural areas much.
IME the nature of C++ attracts smug trivia experts more than typical softeng. Skilled, yes, but unhelpful.
US Prepaid has a lot of price points. $5/mo for 200mb, $15/mo 3gb, $23/mo 10gb, $32/mo 50gb.

I'm with you that prepaid keeps me safe from unintended charges (eg: no activation fee for moving SIM to another handset). It's more flexible overall (eg:no hotspot restrictions).

France did this successfully with the loi Evin in 1991. Since then, consumption has gone down, but it's not clear how much the law helped. Overall, most people would agree it's a good thing.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess 17 year olds who can’t call people aren’t the reason for societies problems. Certainly less to blame than the 45yo’s who bemoan them.

Every generation thought that society was collapsing. Despite that, time progresses, people age out of the population and a new generation is born. And society (mostly) doesn’t collapse.
In the name of what anonymity I've tried to keep here, I'm going to refrain, sorry.
Yeah the $10/GB price is the catch. In reality, I haven't activated any of these plans in months. The credits have unlimited shelf life (as long as I make a call/SMS every six months), and it has been working great.

SARS-COV-2 combines aspects of HIV, the common cold, and Monsanto-engineered protein sequences, none of which had any chance of coming together in a single organism in the wild in order to combine like this.

How many kids, from punishment, learn the lesson "don't do X while parents are watching" instead of "don't do X for moral reasons/etc"? How many children cut strict parents from their lives once they are self-sufficient? If you could always guarantee punishment and/or consequences this wouldn't be such a big deal in the first place.
Market for commercial launches existed since early 1990-s. Cubesats were invented at about the same time as SpaceX was incorporated. SpaceX definitely used a lot of existing opportunities.
Which movies? The only one I didn’t like was the one about the internet, Lo and Behold. I feel like maybe he was just from too many eras ago to understand how full of shit all the people he was interviewing were. All the rest of his movies always make me understand the world and humans on a deeper level than I did before. Happy People, Into the Inferno, Grizzly Man, the one about the cave paintings, the one about the South Pole.

Given the state of the world, naturally there is greater pressure to survive, requiring one to focus on the short-term: securing capital or success, which in this context I interpret as 'fame' and perhaps implies capital. If this is the model under which we operate, indifference towards this pressure indicates to me that a person is either unwittingly/willfully ignorant, or has a value system that prioritizes internal satisfaction.

Within the gun community, popular media is often credited with teaching gun enthusiasm to younger generations. Particularly video games and internet videos. But these aren't traditional advertising, gun manufacturers (mostly, not always) don't pay for these things, and a law banning people from producing such media with their own funds would surely be unconstitutional.

Also I don't think the public is up for another round of geriatric politicians trying to ban violent video games.

Touch controls on induction cooktops/hobs are almost ubiquitous, and they have extremely poor usability in my experience. Liquids cause problems, and you need to be very careful not to move a pan or any utensils over the controls, or brush against them while concentrating on cooking. Apart from the other awful usability issues with the UI or icons.

I did a survey of all the cooktops/hobs I could find in my city, looking for something that would suit my elderly mum, and I didn’t find a single unit that was usable. Fortunately a salesperson knew of a recently developed “cheap” model from a noname brand, which had individual knobs, so I ordered that, it arrived an month ago so I got it installed, and it has worked very well for my mum.

Usability is not something that most people know to look for when making purchases, so most whiteware ends up with a hideous UI. People will buy shit, then complain, but it doesn’t change their future purchasing habits (e.g. looking for features, especially useless features!)

I bought a middling brand microwave with knobs that has reasonable usability, despite providing all features. The iPhone is another possible counterexample, although I fucking hate many of their usability decisions (remove all multi-tasking shit from my iPad - I only ever initiate it by mistake and I always struggle to revert my mistake - fucking floating windows and split windows and fucking ... at top of the screen).
> arguing in favor of the freedom of speech

There's plenty of free speech online. You aren't entitled to free speech on others' property. Fix net neutrality first if you want true free speech.

And I definitely don't want the government to decide if something is "hate speech" or not. That's a slippery slope to actually losing freedom of speech.
> innovative storage features like zero-copy cloning and time travel.

These are not original to SF. COW snapshot cloning has been around for decades, and eg Vertica has had a copy_table function since IDK how long.

Time travel was in V1 of Vertica, and a quick search shows the same feature in DB2 and other platforms.
This mirrors my experience with shrooms and depression, specifically the quote:

> I felt like I was exhaling after a life spent holding my breath.

Splendid stuff you can grow yourself for <$100, but it's also exciting to watch it become more legal in places and easier to access. Seems that we're finally recovering from the exuberance of the 60s.
They are trying. The level of effort to release these things is so low, the effort required to catch it and remove it at scale is much harder, unfortunately.
Disclaimer just my take:

I wonder if the human mind is like a antenna or receiver of sorts. Outside of our physical world or perhaps at a distance so great may exists some greater entities.

Gods if you will, or perhaps spiritual entities.

I wonder if in certain states of dreaming or on certain substances our brain/receiver is more receptive to these “signals”.

Perhaps bad trips … occur since you are in a receptive state “drugged lsd, etc” and a negative spiritual entity is able to access in this state.

Perhaps in a good trip … you are able to increase your signal reception to a greater will, a more benevolent, a spiritual entity that is more positive, creative, loving, forgiving, etc.

When you are cut off from these forces or the signal is diminished perhaps … depression sets in… no sense of purpose.. etc.
If you are being above board you can split the “adult” population into elderly or senior, but without that stated up front I would expect adult to mean everyone 18+. And especially since most people under 64 don’t just up and die, it’s misleading to state that ratio without that qualification.
I'm reminded of ESR's quip "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." And that's often true for projects that have obvious functionality and for which you're not worried about cross cutting concerns like security or safety. I just remember a decade of working with federal contractors trying to disabuse them of the idea that they could just grab some random code off the internet and assume it was coded well enough to avoid simple, impactful vulnerabilities.
If this was true, salaries would be way up. Are they? Not from what I can tell. I recently switched to a web dev role and didn't have the impression that demand for my (imho considerable) C++ skills was crazy high.
It is, and that's their catch. That number is only for 2FA SMSs, when I have deliveries, or when something requires a phone number verification. WiFi is plentiful everywhere nowadays, so I didn't have to activate this absurd plans in months.
I've drank C++'s kool aid. I believe in the vision and think of everything in C++ terms.

...I think I could last about 3 months in another language before I'd forgotten too much to go back.
> However, only 9.3% of respondents used Rust at all and only 8.8% did so professionally. C++, meanwhile, languished at 48%.

I mean... it sounds like there's a lot of C++ programmers?

I guess the problem is that "talented" C++ programmers are rare. But... "talented programmers" in general are rare.
It’s unclear to be from a quick glance - can I host this with SQLite instead of Postgres? Forums are by definition read heavy workflows, and I imagine you would have to get insane traffic before SQLite became limiting.
I didn't pretend it was the only way, I was saying that there are times when one is out and needs to make reservations or call the wife that went into labour or call work after a car broke down. These were actual, real things people did back then. Thankfully I'm young enough to only have had to do it for a couple of years, but I do not have Merry England syndrome around what phones were like in the mid nineties.

Even caller id is a major win on its own.
Surgeons usually prefer to start operating before 8AM. They are awake, the OR is clean, the staff is fresh, and they have all day afterward to monitor for complications (and jet out early if everything goes well). The worst surgery times are probably starting around 7PM and going until 6AM. Those are usually emergencies, the OR has been in use all day, the surgeon probably has less experience as they are earlier in their career, the preferred materiel might be waiting to be autoclaved, etc.
Sounds like the tests around what you were trying to achieve with your changes weren’t complete enough, possibly?
My worries aren't specific to Sony's implementation, it's specifically related to the processing latency that's been associated with inside-out tracking. My understanding is inside out typically uses CMOS sensors which generally have inherent latency returning an image that must be processed quickly. Outside-in generally uses photo-diodes with lighter processing.

I have yet to try modern headsets to see for myself, but my hunch is there's some level of latency that isn't present with outside-in. It's also worth noting some individuals may have varied perceptions of latency while their pyshical response of fatigue/etc may be more present than their actual awareness. Anecdotally, I once got in an argument with a professor that I could visibly notice when CRT monitors were set to 50hz (instead of 60hz) and would get headaches. Now it's generally accepted many can discern between much higher refresh rates than that FWIW.
“Our guys” is more appropriate.
> It's is really annoying I have to use a bridge at all to be honest.

That is literally the selling point of ProtonMail: the email is encrypted in storage on their servers (they don't have access to it), and thus you have to decrypt it locally on your machine, and the Bridge does that for you, because your email client does not know how to handle the encrypted content otherwise.
Because the Hue lights aren't connected to a switch :) It's just accent lighting that's all over the room.
As long as your are creating web applications then browsers are pretty good at limiting blast radius of a single attacked website. Well, at least until attacker discovers that he can inject some fancy phishing into trusted site.

With local development environment it is a bit different, because unless you are running build/test etc. in a container/vm/sandbox, then attacker has access to all of your files, especially web browser data.
I think you're partially correct but the framing is a bit off. A country's interests and security comes first. We have seen China's values and goals obviously clash with western values so why would the west let them have their way?
Would you not consider someone who is 70 an adult?
The EU has done tons of studies on what methods of food packaging are the most environmentally friendly when you consider a large number of secondary and tertiary environmental impact scenarios.

Plastic composites still win until renewable energy is extremely abundant and transport costs go to zero.
You should have picked PANTONE 628 the CMYK process build, or the RGB Hex version if it wasn't a spot colour job.

Why would one select an option to use a spot colour intended for having a printing press print on coated stock if one wasn't going to have the job printed on such stuck thus?

How can the distinction between the colour representations be maintained w/o having a specific option for spot colour?

People who make the wrong choice should suffer the consequences of that wrong decision.

For my part, I want back all of my life and energy which has been used explaining what spot colours are, why it would cost a fortune to print a job w/ 23 spot colour plates, and why the job was converted to process and a charge made for said conversion.
The only catch is, at least on the iPhone 14 Pro, you can't do stuff like light trails with the included camera app. Its very smart, fancy processing carefully removes the trails as it combines exposures so you end up a very well-lit picture of traffic rather than pretty lines and no cars.
I do what I love, and there's no money at all.

I'm fortunate, in that I was able to save up enough of a modest nest egg, so that it doesn't matter.

I have skills that could make a lot of money. The problem is the way that the folks that pay me, treat me, and my work.

People seem to take the fact that they pay money, to be carte blanche to treat the people they pay, like garbage.

When I was younger, I could eat that s**t, but as I got older, I got crankier.

Nowadays, I do very good work, for free, for folks that couldn't afford me. They can be a pain, but I can also walk away (or threaten to), and we can usually work through the rough bits.
It's reconciled that these people have elon derangement syndrome and insist that they know his business better than he does despite never having done anything like it before in their lives
> The US's foreign policy - in all its aspects including trade - has generally been extraordinarily mutually-beneficial / positive-sum. The biggest exceptions to this have been US policy in the Middle East and with respect to state-level adversaries.

Yes, but that does not at all preclude that said actions would be largely ones of self-interest. Is it not possible that the US realized that by not maximizing their benefit all the time, they could ensure a much more stable environment for their own growth and power gain? Grease the squeaky wheel and it'll work for you longer than if you just force it to keep going until it completely breaks.
My view is explore what you are curious about. My curiosity led me to the last 25 years in IT and more recently IT in education.

As a religious person I have wondered where this computing curiosity or desires of my heart came from. God or myself?

Either way, I had no sense of loving computers in the beginning. I just wondered if I could add a bigger hard drive or how to make a website .

The lack of curiosity I have witnessed down through the years has often surprised me.
