not keeping architects in the loop doesn't sound like that big of a problem, if it just affects the quality of the finish as noted. it'd be much more concerning if engineers weren't signing off on construction changes (which can happen here in the US, even with our bloated procedures).
I have a similar setup and it works. Here's my info in case it helps.

AirPort Express 802.11n 2nd gen running firmware 7.8.1. It's joined to my 5Ghz network using 802.11n.

I have my home wifi configured with both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks and the AirPort Express is aware of both. Not sure if this makes a difference.
Hm - following someone on another server is incredibly easy for me? I look at the Fediverse feed now, see a message that looks interesting to me, click on the author's username, and then click "Follow". What am I missing?
I see that Steve Klabnik an Corey Haines apologized on their blogs, and you're right that I was wrong there. The reason I wrote that was in the article it says "I queried some tweeters for more information on why exactly it was so bothersome. I didn’t get apologies from these tweeters."

I do want to point out that if you complain about someone in a medium, it's reasonable to expect the apology or explanation there. If someone is a jerk in front of other people to you, they should clarify their behavior in front of everyone, not just a direct, personal apology.

This is kind of my point - I'm not a neurologist or social scientist, but, in my opinion, we humans don't seem well equipped to deal with the group sizes the internet makes available. I think it's totally valid to point out that the problem here isn't really the individual behavior per-se, it's the behavior in the context of 10k others. In the blink of an eye, we've made it possible for virtually everyone to reach an enormous amount of people, so easily, and with so little oversight, that it falls on those people to take responsibility for engaging with the platform in the first place.
> The fact that one has to pick from many different places to set up an account is a massive barrier to entry...

I wonder if a statement exactly like the above one was said about alternative email providers being coinsidered by many AOL.com account holder so many years ago?

> ...I don’t see this platform being able to benefit from the Twitter exodus...

I suppoose it depends on how "benefit" is defined. But, also, Mastodon might be considered a platform, but (thankfully!) it only represents a single slice of the greater fediverse.

Ultimately, if people chose NOT to migrate over to the fediverse, or choose NOT to use the mastodon stack, or do NOT join an instance, etc..., that's still ok, and not considered a "fail". The fediverse is not an industry, nor a competitive landscape in the same fashion that twitter, facebook and other commercial platforms might operate. In fact, the fediverse is not even a platform at all; its a federated network.
LibreOffice is an option.

CSS has become like a scripting language now. You can do things like nested CSS[0], keyframe animations[1], calc operations[2], etc

It has become very JavaScript-like and this is why I always try to see if I can do something in CSS first before I resort to JS.

SUVs come in all sizes now, and there's some advantage to certain sizes.

Most people don't have an array of vehicles to choose from except when buying, so they don't really get much of a choice between "the car" and "the SUV".

When you have small children a minivan becomes really nice, since the doors open wide which helps with car seats and booster buckling.
Did you read the article? I find your jaded sense of cynicism to be different than critical thought. I don't see any proof in the article posted about its claims. It's just very easy to get jaded, cynical people to support the right headlines on social media. Hacker News, be better.
I too decided to try Mastodon recently.

But I didn't try it out because of Twitter's recent news, I tried it out because I haven't enjoyed Twitter for a long while.

Mastodon is providing for many people what they haven't seen in Twitter for quite some time. A social site that seems to have a soul. Also, many of the people I've found on Mastodon still use Twitter.

The two serve different purposes. Just like you don't talk about "Instagram OR Twitter," it's not about "Twitter OR Mastodon."

We have choices now. And Mastodon is more on the radar now than ever. Happy that new people are hearing about it and finding value there.

I use Plex as my music server and the rather wonderful Plexamp app on my phone but it's paid and proprietary, but worth it.
“Whoever came up with this scheme is on crack”
The article misses another reason why demand for EVs might drive demand for ICEVs with manual transmissions: if you're going to convert an ICEV into an EV, it's typically easier to do so with a manual transmission (in which case you can leave the gearbox as-is and just always drive in e.g. 2nd) than with an automatic transmission (in which case you have to either remove/replace the transmission entirely or somehow convince it to not try shifting based on the "engine's" RPM). Newer cars also have a lot more "smarts" in their drivetrains that would probably interfere with an EV conversion, and I'd be unsurprised if buying manual instead of automatic mitigates that somewhat.

Whether people are actually buying new ICEVs and converting them into EVs is doubtful, but if they are, then that would readily explain the uptick in manual purchases.

As a follow up to my other comment here, this is also my experience. Risk increases proportional to the size of your firm, but so must your prices.
Nah, you can't. The issue is the "easy monitor outgoing traffic with TLS/SSL" part.

It is not impossible but it is far from easy. If the application uses statically linked SSL client (as it should if it is commercially distributed) then you have to modify the application (for example in memory) to get a copy of everything that gets written to the SSL stream.
First let’s define what a “consultant” is. A consultant for a company can either be doing “consulting” where they are bringing in a specialize skill set and in the room who have a budget (CxOs) or they can just be doing staff augmentation where you are just another hands on keyboard coder embedded in a team.

Personally, doing staff augmentation type “consulting” is the fifth level of hell. You’re treated like crap, are easily disposable and it really does nothing for your career. You’re also not paid all that much.

On the other hand, “consulting” where you are bringing in specialized knowledge is great. You can charge and arm and leg is great.

Which is better in slow economic times is just the opposite. Companies hire staff augmentation type “consultants” because it doesn’t increase headcount and they are easy to get rid of.

Companies hire true “consultants” when they are going after new initiatives which they do less often during slow economic times.

I’ve done a couple of staff augmentation type projects early in my career. A couple of true independent consulting projects later in my career and I now work as a permanent employee as a cloud consultant at $BigTech.

This statement asks for permission to fetch data, not to upload my data.

Uploading data based on this statement is a blantant violation of customer expectations, so obvious you don't need to be neither a ux expert nor a lawyer to see it, you just need to read carefully.
Agree, but I still don't know if there is a way to format the message in a way that the average newbie can actually accept.
I used little snitch for so many years but stopped using it a while ago for some reason. Is it still as good as it used to be?
Agreed. Clay Shirky made a similar point in Here Comes Everybody. Or maybe it was Cognitive Surplus. (Crap, sorry, it's been a while.)

His analogy, IIRC: teens treat social media as hanging out at the food court with friends, not as public speech. To them, adults eavesdropping are the creeps, not the kids just being kids. Like, why would adults even be listening? It's just gross.

Yup, I can see that! One issue I have is that my model of the stack is that "it's a literal _stack_ of frames. You pop them one by one, executing them."

What happens to a frame that you pause? Does it get set aside? Is it still on the stack?
For me it was driving up hill in Seattle rush hour.
Managing Complex Change
> If your business doesn't need step 2, then what are we complaining about?

Hacky, non automated, low quality, not tested, hard to maintain, slow code. Remember, we are at step 1 of "First do it, then do it right, then do it better."

Business rarely needs refactorings and performance improvements, until they do, and things turns really ugly when they do, because they've been focusing on shipping "good enough" crap instead of focusing on the actual "continuous improvement" they claim to do.
Asbestos is an emotionally charged topic for many people, especially the many who have (primarily) older relatives who have died or are dying from cancers caused by it. The analogy is resting primarily on the appeal to that kind of emotion without actually establishing a strong logical similarity between C and asbestos.
You "just" need the key to the encrypted traffic. You don't have to change the handshake/negotiation, you just want a copy of the key so you can decrypt the traffic.

In TLS, the client authenticates server, then they both agree to use a key for the session; the OS can get a hold of this key (this is usually a bad move because then any captured traffic frames could be later decrypted).
IMO even more readable if we ditch the functional looking stuff:

function slamTimTam(timtam) {
timtam.biteArbitraryCorner();
timtam.biteOppositeCorner();
timtam.insertInBeverage();
timtam.drawLiquid();
timtam.insertIntoMouth();
}

function slamTimTams(timtams) {
const slammedTimTams = timtams.slice(0, MAX_TIMTAMS);

for (const timtam of slammedTimTams) {
slamTimTam(timtam);
}

return slammedTimTams;
}
You are perfectly right.

And yet the swiftness of that move made that a fait accompli pretty quickly so people forget that.

A better line would be "before the 2022 invasion ..."
I had the same confusion! In my browser, with the default monospace font, the two characters are so similarly as to be indistinguishable.

Reading the next example, showing an encoded dictionary, was what made the penny drop. Bencode doesn't go out of its way to be visually accessible, so different font choices would help.

Cartel: (noun) a combination of independent commercial or industrial enterprises designed to limit competition or fix prices.

Limit competition: How many new entrants to the prestiguous university club (Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, etc.) have there been in the last 50 years?

Fix prices: How do you explain tuitions growing at 5x inflation consistently since 1990, in an era where information itself has become dirt cheap (the internet.)

There does likely not need to be quid-pro-quo "collusion". I am not envisioning a shadowy meeting room where all the university heads smoke cigars and agree on tuitions. There doesn't need to be. Has any of the elite universities ever cut tuitions, in order to compete with the others?
I'm not entirely sure I count myself as a successful programmer. I did build a couple payroll systems that was in place for about a decade. Built a web UI for AS400 back in 99. I started this whole journey from Photoshop 4.5 and it kinda snowballed from there.

What drove my "success" was a passion and curiosity. What I could do, tinker, and learn in the programming world was endless. I lived,breath, and sh!t JAVA, C++, VB, COBOL, js, HTML, etc, etc for about five years. My first year I camped in my cube, going back to my apt only for shower, and I wasn't even paid well for it. I made less than 30K/year.

Now I'm a SE in a DevOps/EDR company.I still code on the side for fun, but it's not a major focus of my job.
This kind of thing in particular should make banks' compliance departments more nervous than usual - Powerpoint is a really key tool for deal teams, and the behaviour is here might just be obscure enough to be missed by people tasked with stopping price-sensitive information slipping out the door.
Thanks for sharing! I definitely saw Volumio at some point and completely forgot about it; I'll have to give it another try.
This take is a disaster. So we get a decade of bloated frameworks to compensate for missing properties and then just when browsers are about to catch up and make all that cruft pointless we get people complaining about it. This isn't a thing. This is some software engineer edgelording. Yeah, we get it, you don't like CSS because you aren't good at it. Just stop.
Could not agree more. I hate speaking off-the-cuff and being forced to evaluate an idea with only a split-second of contemplation time within a meeting.

We're trying to move to 6-pagers (a la Amazon) or at least a documentation-first culture but buy-in has been difficult. People find it easier to simply drop a meeting on everyone's calendar and then aimlessly toss out ideas for 30 minutes. When I try to send a document ahead of time, no one has read it when they show up, and they bristle when asked to take the time within the meeting to read it.

Has anyone had success moving to this kind of format? How do you change the culture of an organization away from blathering and toward thoughtful writing?
Patent examiners are not the enemy, and someone needs to do the work regardless. I feel bad for them myself, because their tooling is apparently terrible. Makes me wonder if I should take a look into the space and see if I can come up with some ideas for a halfway decent set of tools.

I've seen a lot of patents whose prior art could be found by spending a bit of quality time with a thesaurus, or a halfway decent index.
Fine, but that leaves us with passionless non-argument. How is it helpful?
These same concerns/arguments have been repeated since Windows XP (I don't remember Win9x or NT/2000 having the same scope of privacy concerns). The FUD has never changed.

But, that doesn't mean the concerns are unwarranted.

That's why I first started using Linux around 1994. I was concerned about my privacy, and I've been viewed a paranoid freak. I feel like Cassandra.
You would think youtube would be fine with public domain content too. But this is not necessarily the case. Besides copyright strikes, youtube will also take videos down because they contain controversial content that advertisers don't like. They don't evaluate videos in the context of the video being old archived content representing old values from a different era.

Particularly, I believe Jeff Quitney's channel (which was mostly old aerospace videos made by the US government, but was generally for whatever old film he got his hands on) got banned because some of the videos were old political propaganda which expressed views which are now verboten.
I would disagree, most people know that they can write to both bob@hotmail.com and to fred@gmail.com, and that they are people using different services.

I've always found modern Linux systems to have a great UX. I'm mildly tech orientated but not super into customization or anything, and never had any problems after Ubuntu got the application center done.

Of course trying to install drivers for a 56k modem while not having internet access was a different experience 25 years ago.
At least its possible _in principal_ and many people out there can at least look at the code even if you can't dig through yourself. With Windows or OSX you're just out of luck.

No. DOD/Gov projects can be hosted in completely secure locations, and Azure for Government follows all the required standards. Office365/Sharepoint supports FedRAMP High. Most agencies are in the process of finishing migrations so that both their desktop and online apps use the same data in secure cloud installations.
Our industry went through this with the move to Java (and later .Net).

"It will solve memory leaks!"

"whoops, you can still leak memory in garbage collected languages, my bad everyone!".
Sure, but that's not really news. Everything anyone does they do themselves.

I think the real distinction between self-taught and formally taught comes down to sequencing and structure.

Self taught people don't always know what the next step is, whereas university or a good mentor can pull you towards the next hop by structuring the lessons into a sequence which naturally goes from a to b to c to d whereas self taught individuals sometimes swing from a to d before coming back and learning c sometimes entirely missing b.
This seems kind of shocking, is MS really hoarding the trade secrets of like every Fortune 500 company on their servers?
No, it's more like picking your community. Compare an account on mastodon.social vs an instance localated in your hometown to see the difference.
If this was a really old Bitcoin wallet, it could be from before the "12 words" thing. IIRC, older wallets randomly generated each key, instead of deriving them from a seed passphrase (which also meant you had to be really careful with your backups, since an old backup of the wallet wouldn't have its newer keys).

Alright, man, good luck. I didn't see a single answer about how you're going to physically move and prepare 5 quadrillion tons of air or why that's not necessary, but I'll sleep tight knowing that you've cracked it.

Everybody else who's reading this, maybe look up what all of the proposed DAC plants in the world look like, notice they're pretty much just a gigantic wall of fans, and think about why that might be. It's because DAC requires moving a shit-ton of air, because 400ppm isn't a lot of parts per million, and that matters.

This is like when computer geeks don’t get why people won’t switch from windows to Linux.

Software is flexible, but hardware hinders us. We must find a way to make embedded as flexible as software to unleash developers' superpowers.

> it could be because investors notice that converting people to the Cloud is not currently working

Given the barn storming financial performance of other cloud operators and Atlassian's impressive record in (un)reliability, I think investors are quite aware that converting people to the cloud is going swimmingly most places that aren't Atlassian.
Right because the UX is so good, thus the conversation
No they run in isolated networks. No classified DoD networks have any access to the internet.
In the feed it is presented small text in a muted grey, same as the date of posting which is equally likely to be ignored, and when read left to right, as is the style of our time, comes after the profile picture, person's name, and verified badge.

You can find it if you're looking for it, but it is not something someone scrolling through casually is going to take notice of, especially since the first three components observed have been considered enough to verify identity until now.

Which, indeed, is Griffin's implicit statement – that the blue badge is becoming meaningless when anyone can buy it for $8 – but that's also why there are holdover efforts to maintain the badge as a form of identity through banning of those trying to impersonate others.

Maybe you think the @id should be the most visible piece of information so that this isn't an issue, and maybe you're right, but it most certainly is not. Reality doesn't care about your feelings towards things, it only deals with what is.
