Weight on the outside of a wheel matters more than weight on the rest of the bike for racing types - it increases the rotational inertia of the wheel, slowing acceleration & braking on top of any actual weight increase.

Personally I just buy tyres with reflective tape on the sidewalls. These are mandatory in some EU countries & are pretty effective in my experience.
> or he's extremely lucky to pass technical interviews.

Somewhat OT but perhaps someone knows. I noted the cameras in UK airports have dual eth cables going in. Anybody know what's up with that?
> Like I write a "list of things" and they read it like "a set of things", loosing the meaningful ordering of a list.

That's on you. A lot of code use list instead of set purely because set is rarely a basic primitive language offers.

If I see method returning list of users I'm just gonna assume it is unordered, and it usually is unordered.

If you return list that's ordered and that matters for some reason, the docs should say it is ordered and by which key.

If the method is called RunTasks(list) and documentation is "runs a list of tasks" it is perfectly fine to assume it means "runs list of tasks in order" but it is also perfectly fine to assume "runs all of the tasks in parallel".
If the crock pot is for those with foresight and discipline, but not a lot of time, to cook, I suppose the instant pot is for procrastinators without a lot of time.
Most underrated comment on the thread.
I believe this is the result of two problems. One is the fact Teams registers phone service providers over and over again, the other is that Android didn't pick the right phone account for a while.

The Teams issue will cause generic connectivity issues because Teams says "I can call this number!" but then can't; the Android issue is an emergency issue because the Teams app shouldn't indicate the ability to call emergency services but Android tries to use Teams regardless. Even if Google fixes the 911 bug, users may still be unable to call if Microsoft hadn't fixed the registration issue.

Both problems should be fixed by now, but it's possible Google and Microsoft haven't updated every single device out there. It's also possible a different bug has shown up.
>Comparatively, it's a regular occurrence to add at least three files for a Cucumber BDD test

This is partly why I so dislike Cucumber.

The gherkin language is insufficiently expressive for most purposes and the syntax for parameterization is just...bad. Thats how gherkin stories end up being a glorified label - it's not an intrinsic BDD problem.
I don’t care what the contract says. If all of my employers are satisfied with my work, I don’t feel any remorse.

At that scale it gotta be cheaper to pay someone to reverse-engineer them and flash with something open source ?
Yes but social engineering doesn't really scale, does it? You need to craft each message manually and adapt it to each company. The name search might not be the most complex part
You're thinking of steel, not aluminium. It is possible to build a machine that detects aluminium but it's not just "a magnet" because aluminium isn't magnetic
From wikipedia:
> Most recycled PET is used as apparel fiber.
> However rPET has also been sold in the form of carpet fiber. Mohawk Industries released everSTRAND in 1999, a 100% post-consumer recycled content PET fiber. Since that time, more than 17 billion bottles have been recycled into carpet fiber.

Aluminum is 100% recyclable into whatever it was before.
I guess just don't have the same standards for what recyclable means or should mean.

IMHO plastics just go into a stupid microplastic generation pipeline grinding cycle.
I'm not informed on PET specifically, but my understanding was that most plastics can only be recycled once, and that the recycling process generally can't produce the same grade of plastic as the input material.
Of course, but honestly nothing compared to many developing cities, from first hand experience.

And the developed pavement rubbish is collected, or if it's washed into the sewers, it's then filtered out before going to the river/sea. Not so in many developing nations, where it's often either thrown directly into the rivers, or washed there by heavy rains.
This kind of thing makes me want to use a 'dumbphone' as my daily driver..
There is no reasonable way a normal user could suspect that buying a phone from one of the biggest companies in the world (Google) and installing a very common application from another huge company (Microsoft) will result in their phone no longer being able to dial the emergency number.

This is most definitely Google's fault for allowing emergency calls to be overridden and not having a fallback if the override fails.
> trouble understanding who would consider GCP

1. SaaSy kids in SV or who wish they were in SV who also think Google Sheets beats Excel.

2. Big enterprise executives who heard Google was what the cool SaaSy kids do from someone in I.T. then got lured by too-good-to-be-true discounts from Google Cloud sales team as long as the executive is happy to be featured for their forward-thinking tech chops in pressers about picking GCP. To their credit, they will undo the Office to Workspace migration mandate almost immediately, after making their 140,000 users attempt it from IE 10 on Win 7, but there won't be press about that.
That's not what the person I'm responding to said, nor what the article says. The person I'm responding to clearly didn't read the article, it actually says due to a tight labour market unemployment will rise only slightly during the predicted recession.
You clearly didn't read the comment I replied to who said for 3 years unemployment has increased, when it has not.

This is a perfect example of why politics is now a tribal mud flinging fest.

If I was designing a security camera I'd have a way to connect two completely different networks to it so all my cameras don't go out in case one of the networks goes down. I do the same with my servers (+ a separate management network).
Google blames third party apps.

I'm not going to suggest third parties can't screw with a phone and make it effectively unusable, but why isn't emergency calling a separate code path in the dialler app and OS that just ignores everything that third parties have done? It should be impossible to change the behaviour of that small bit of the phone. Don't fire any OS level events, don't call any callbacks, ignore any registered intents.

This is on a Pixel. Google can have complete control of the OS and dialler if they want to. They should be able to effectively isolate this from the rest of the phone. Blaming third parties doesn't really explain it.
2 out of 6 of the engineers we hired this year were overemployed and never mentioned it till we worked it out. One was just straight up kinda useless, the other was manipulative and a smooth talker and was good at claiming having a hand in others work when he did very little, think he was working at least 3 jobs.

Not sure if it’s just our hiring is kinda useless but I’d be very reluctant to agree to anyone full WFH after being burned, risk isn’t worth burning time or money for.

Are you selling hours or outcomes? If you're meeting all your assigned deliverables on time then you're satisfying your employment outcomes.

If you're stalling or failing on your deliverables, then it becomes unethical.

Merely warming a chair is not ethical.
I'd assume they were bridged, so you could either daisy-chain the cameras, or use it in-between the uplink and an AP. So you could it whereever you already have an AP without pulling new cables.

What kind of grant though? There's no more public shares, it's all private, whatever grant you get from stocks is basically worthless as it would require the private owners to agree to buy them.

A lump sum of US$ 100k as a retainer doesn't sound like a great deal after you've been through all these shenanigans. Some more desperate workers might take it just to get anything but those won't be the most motivated workers you'll get. The good ones will find better pastures, or just go back to extract more money out while looking for something better because they know there's no mutual trust anymore.

I feel like a lot of people trying to defend Musk's actions are treating people like they were logical machines. That their psychological safety doesn't matter if they're paid enough, they'll just accept the payment and work as usual, that's not how humans work...

My favorite way is how French website "Le Monde Diplomatique" does it : the footnotes appear at the bottom of the screen in context as you scroll so that only those referred in the currently visible text are displayed. It avoids awkwardly clicking on tiny superscript numbers and annoyingly scrolling back and forth between text and footnotes. For an example : https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/2021/01/PIGEAUD/62633

My cameras are on their own vlan, with outbound internet access disabled - so in theory they aren't sending anything anywhere else.

So is this less about the actual cameras, and more that they have been installed insecurely and not kept up to date with firmware? Or the hardware used to record the data is acutally in the cloud somewhere and that is the issue?
The financial incentives in national football are peanuts compared to high level club football, so not really.
nope.

Of course if you mandate a very narrow standard, completely inflexibly, you may have this kind of problem.

But from where I am, it looks like the 'swashbuckling free market' has stagnated due to monopoly power (Apple lightning), whereas the 'evil plodding government' has ensured compatibility, reduced waste, gauging, etc, while accommodating the incredible evolution of the USB standard.
This has been my experience too: Google Apps/GCP might have marginally or even substantially better products than Azure/365 but Microsoft almost never kills products and force you to migrate to their newer offering and they have excellent support folks

Countries like India have multi party system. That doesn’t seem to have slowed corruption/bribery at all. How would it help in the U.S?

In a way, corruption is the U.S is worse because it is legalized (campaign contributions). If there were 25 parties instead of 2, it would be a bit more work to find out who to bribe, but I guess it is still doable

I feel this way about many security reports, they look at some very basic thing (e.g. app permissions), extrapolate what is possible and then make some claims.

Where are the in depth analysis reports? I want to see the reverse engineered code, ROM dumps, network dumps, hardware teardowns etc. I want to see what is getting collected, what is getting stored, what is getting sent and where.

> The SEC tried to look into FTX earlier this year, but eight members of the US Congress — “the blockchain eight” — wrote to SEC Chair Gary Gensler in March telling him to back off. [Letter, PDF]

That's a bit of a stretch, given that the letter [1] doesn't even mention FTX by name, and just asks 13 questions

How is adopting a niche tech standard being “culturally relevant”?

The vast majority of people outside of tech simply do not know about, or care to know anything about ActivityPub.

They only care about the value that these social platforms provide to them. It shouldn’t be surprising that the most valuable platforms (judging by usage) are centralized and proprietary.

I can see the parallels between this and crypto. Cool tech, but not what people want.

This isn’t being “culturally relevant”, quite the opposite. This is catering to a small niche. If anything, this smells like desperation from Tumblr who was once a juggernaut in the social media space.
Funny coincidence: just one week ago I and a colleague of mine started with "pytest-arch" [1], a pytest plugin to test for architectural constraints. On purpose we kept it very simple. It is already usable and works well, at least for our use cases.

You can use it to check e.g. if your domain model is importing stuff that it should not import.

We are planning to publish it soon on pypi.

Perhaps staying inside the network is more common in the US, but from a European perspective it's unlikely for a device to stay at one provider at all times. Half the time you're roaming at another network due to missing towers or if you drive 100km and end up in a different country you won't see your original provider at all until you return.

As such, all networks must support all devices for the system to retain some shred of functionality and standardisation is key. Providers can't just pick and choose what to support if they want to maintain credibility. I would imagine it makes far more sense for some international org to do reviews, but at the absence of that the manufacturers themselves need to guarantee compatibility or they will be pushed out of the market by those that do.
I tried one of your prompts and it took around 20 seconds. Another one took 45 seconds.

Is that the expected latency?
Not a lot has changed.

You call the regional center (the 911, or in our case, 112 responders), you negotiate a timeframe for your tests (so that there's enough operators there), you tell them the phone number (and other data) that will be used for testing (because the responders get the approximate location of the caller, and might still send someone to check after a call, even if the voice doesn't get through), and then call 911 (112 here) a bunch of times.

Also, emergency calls have to work even without a sim card inserted, or with a simcard but still locked (via sim pin), or with an unlocked sim but locked screen, so that had to be tested too.
True true, fair enough.

I seem to remember that when .eu was introduced, there was a sunrise period during which trademark holders had first rights to domains. And that some free-thinking entrepreneurs reacted by registering trademarks in some of the obscure categories and then using those to claim sought-after domains.

There was indeed, googling finds this: https://www.dnforum.com/threads/fnord.124651/

So… will any of these entrepreneurs register a company called Twitter in Burundi, Brunei or Bhutan and try to get a gold star for the verified account of their bona-fide company?

Tthis works the same way any journalism works which is that you negotiate with you sources how they want to be identified and what precautions you'll take to protect their identity. The BBC doesn't interview a bunch of people and then go "I think you can go get abducted by the Chinese state, but you we'll protect", they negotiate up front what they'll record, and the conditions under which it's released.

Absolutely. Something that many people may forget or not realize is just how much of the Internet's traffic consists of bots - benevolent, malevolent, or benign. If you've ever made a machine's IP public and logged the IPV4 traffic, it's harrowing and sobering. The results of publicly available information on the Internet is outright terrifying if you are unfortunate enough to register a domain without WHOIS privacy protections through your registrar. The entire IPV4 space is constantly probed by bots and zombies for common vulnerabilities and data mining opportunities, and providing a humans.txt would only be serving any included information to bad agents on a silver platter. robots.txt is already a voluntary "standard", meaning that any agent accessing it must volunteer to respect it - providing more information to automated agents would certainly follow the same unspoken rule.

I think it's noble and fair for the people behind online content to wish to be recognized if they wish, but I would absolutely abstain from putting my name in any document like a humans.txt.

The RP2040 itself 'only costs $1' without the flash chip it needs. Then what if you need an analog comparator? Another chip. Now what if you want a medium current PWM output? Another chip. AVRxt can output as much current on a single pin as an RP2040 can through its entire package. The two are simply not competing in the same space. AVR isn't strong in computation but is a great general purpose brain for many simple real world interfacing machines.
