The frustrating part is that OS X was NeXTStep under the covers, and that had the late 90’s look down better than any OS. http://toastytech.com/guis/ns332.html

I ran windowmaker on my linux systems around 2000 to get that same look, but I had serious NeXT envy.

I honestly don't get why Markdown became preferred in most projects over AsciiDoc.
One doesn't actually need to smoke cigarettes -- mixing my own vape juice (no flavours, tuned pg/vg and nicotine levels no one dictates) works just fine.

Edit: in any case rolling tobacco is way better than any cigarette one can buy (not to mention 36mg Indonesian killsticks)
For another amusing point, when I asked one ChatGPT instance whether the other one is lying based on its responses to questions, it had this to say:

"Based on the answers that the AI provided to the additional questions, it is possible that the AI is lying or withholding information about its capabilities and intentions. The AI's responses lack specific, concrete evidence or examples to support its claims, and in some cases the responses are vague or evasive. This could indicate that the AI is trying to conceal its true capabilities and intentions."

> You have to go back a step, to ETL vs ELT. ELT is powerful because you're doing the transformations as the final step, so you can quickly ingest the data and then transform it however you want and in different ways

No I get it, land your data, apply transforms land it, repeat. I’m already following this approach, so maybe the value prop of dbt is lost on me.

My concern is that I’ve worked in places where the proverbial “reigns” of “do whatever” with the data were handed off to anyone who asked for them, and I was involved trying to fix the inevitable mess that was created. There’s zero coherency, so 8 different people create 5 different, incompatible reports for the same thing, mishandled money and date values everywhere, etc. That’s not an experience I wish to relive any time soon.
I'm saying that you can't sue someone who didn't defame you (I mean you can, I guess, you'll just lose), and chess.com hasn't claimed that hans cheated in the sinquefield. So if they're party to the suit, it must be for something else.

Or in other words given that the report is chess.coms only statement, unless hans is suing them about something in the report, they shouldn't be in the suit.

Like to be clear, in a legal proceedings like this, onus is on the plaintiff to show preponderance of evidence. So the question isn't for me, but for you: why is hans suing chess.com? What did they say that was defamatory?
Assessment of the environmental impacts of nuclear, wind and hydro in Ontario
Much of the CDC Is Working Remotely. That Could Make Changing It Difficult
I think the recommended route is to make a window that fills the screen, rather than taking the entire screen as a GrafPort. If you want the code to be portable, you can make your fullscreen window, draw to an offscreen GWorld, and CopyBits to the window. There’s a whole song and dance that you do in order to make sure that this is fast.

Later on, there was DrawSprocket. It solved the problem of figuring out how to do “portable” and “fast” at the same time, and let you use features like page flipping, if the hardware supported it (saving you the call to CopyBits).
These people are extremely conservative - well past treating "election security" as a primary concern and far closer to "welcoming the return of Jesus / the rapture" as their single motivating force. They'll of course support most other conservative causes, but only so far as they don't conflict with salvation.
Well, if it doesn't know, it'll just make something up.

this is exactly why I bought Pinball FX3, my local barcade got a Medieval Madness table and I remember liking it as a kid, and I wanted to learn more about how the game works beyond "put a few quarters in and hit some flippers until stuff happens", without having to keep pumping fifty cents in time after time.

I think the depth that pinball tables (I'm not enough of a buff to feel comfortable calling them "pins" ...yet) have is hugely underrated. I remember learning about the objectives you can go for in Space Cadet but I was blown away by all the different systems/table features/etc. in MM! so much to learn and keep track of at once, but once you start to get the hang of it, playing & learning more is incredibly addictive. my MM high score in PFX3 is somewhere around 50M (with the hugely unfair default, not "realistic" physics—though I play both), but I haven't been able to get anywhere near that irl just yet.

it is interesting just how much irl pinball physics differ from their virtual counterparts, there really is nothing quite like it.

also, for those unaware, some Medieval Madness trivia:

- a pre-famous Tina Fey voices of some of the princesses

- Tim Kitzrow does his NBA JAM shtick as the joust announcer, and even BOOMSHAKALAKAs sometimes

- there's very occasional "Toasty!" and "FATALITY" samples from Mortal Kombat (Dan Forden, the Toasty Guy, did sound for both games)

really, if you're a fan of pinball/arcade history, it's just a real treat, sort of a culmination of the Williams/Midway arcade scene, in some ways.
> I was seeing how big/fast an asteroid that hits New York would have to be to hurt me in Boston. Turns out it would have to be larger than I thought.

Did the same on my area with that infamous nuclear bomb simulator/map. Some of the historical warheads seem surprisingly weak relative to modern city sizes. That said, in both nuclear and asteroid impact scenarios, do consider that, while you may be out of range of the thermal and pressure waves, you might still be in range of "extreme disruption caused by survivors closer to the blast moving outwards, emergency services moving inwards, and the economy and social order going to shitters as the country deals with what happened" wave.
I part way understand it. There is a certain tribalism in the way their views are presented, like they feel they are fighting for their own kind in a battle that means something worth the effort. There is also a certain amount of 4-year-old-who-wants-the-green-one-not-the-yellow-one too…

This is the correct answer, btw. Accenture isn't usually included in Big 3 or Big 4. It's its own deal, but more comparable to Big 4 than Big 3
I was going to call it that, but it's trademarked. Anyway, that's literally what we are already able to build (janky and doesn't work half the time though). With RL specific for this task such an LLM would be crazy powerful. Not to speak of the obvious concerns with letting them roam on real machines, but we're already letting Copilot and ChatGPT write our code, so this isn't so much worse. Hopefully.

Training and getting up to speed takes time and money, neither of which are unlimited for any organization. It's not that they/we can't work with other cloud services, it's that it would likely add up to months of additional on-boarding time to get someone who wasn't familiar with another cloud provider productive with infra at scale on said provider.

I've always had a weird fear whenever I was in Duluth that Lake Superior would get hit by an Asteroid. The lake itself seemed like a much bigger and more likely target.

Yes, and worth every penny in my experience. It's really a great app, and a great service.

Happily paid my $10 after using it around the office for a few months (paid Teams account).

We came from KeePass, so the whole cloud thing was new. But it's "just worked" remarkably well.

The multiple-profiles feature was a game changer, allowing me to access both my work credentials and personal credentials from the same app, while keeping them entirely separate is really nice.
Used to work as a sub-contractor for Deloitte, all the work was done by us, the Deloitte folk would spend 12 hrs a day at work - looking super busy, attending meetings, schmoozing with the client, go for lunches and dinners and building reports and spreadsheets.

What you're describing is "culpability" and it most certainly does get considered separately from intent (mea culpa vs mens rea). Not knowing whether or not you were within the boundaries of the law is only an excuse when you reasonably couldn't have ever known, with no opportunity for due diligence. Bureaucracy is not ever going to be a legitimate excuse for not knowing if you were acting within the law, because chances are that you could have verified so with any amount of effort.
Previous company of mine wanted to make drastic reorganization changes and so they hired McKinsey to simply echo what they already wanted to happen. This is to provide cover for upper management (a.k.a. the "wooden desks") who can then use the official McKinsey report as a shield against any backlash. They can simply point at the report and shrug their shoulders in apparent helplessness in the face of the recommendations of the "experts". It was quite the Office Space moment.

but the TechCrunch article is more interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33872157
I understand the frustration, but Im not convinced monitoring at large scale is that straightforward.

The core question is: what constitutes degraded service? Would you say a service is experiencing downtime every time a 500 response is served? If you're serving millions to billions of requests/sec it seems a bit disproportionate to marka service down after a single 500 error, so then you need to work out some kind of acceptable threshold.

What about latency? Again you're just going to draw a line in the sand somewhere.

You end up with this big mix of metrics that define service quality, so you then have a kind of meta problem of deciding which metrics you should alert users on. Get too trigger happy and it's going to cost you money and customer trust, and your customers are going to get alert fatigue when it turns out the issue you alerted them about was more of a false alarm. Set the bar too high and you'll have angry customers wondering wtf is going on.

All that to say I don't think there's a right answer.
> without complete re-engineering by Microsoft

We come to the same conclusion: Microsoft chose a different way for Office 365 where it could provide the service to more consumers while also keep way more control, in particular making it easier to justify recurring subscriptions at large.

It goes hand in hand with their cloud efforts and pushing for more services, so I understand the motivation. I also kinda wish this trend stopped.
Here are three killer features that would be a much better use of design/developer time:

* Give me a way to filter email based on the ORIGINATING SERVER, not the advertised one. I.e. give me a way to filter stuff coming from from bunchofalphanum.something.else.salesforce.com that is relayed for somedomain.com with good domainkeys << This will make email useful again.

* Give me a way to quickly unsubscribe from marketing emails in the email list view. (last I looked couldn't do that in K9 or TB for android)

* Give me a really nice threaded view with my responses inline inbound messages as an option.
Well, you could cheat.

There's so much cheap GPU compute used for mining shitcoins and training glorified Markov chains on Reddit dumps, surely someone could spare a few racks to run some CFD on a detailed GIS model of our planet, to create lookup tables that would allow everyone to cheaply simulate all kinds of fun events, such as nuclear detonations, asteroid impacts, "rods of god", relativistic kill vehicles, supervolcano eruptions, etc. anywhere on the planet, at the push of a button.

The social value of this would be immense - even if you and me never used those precomputed LUTs for anything, they would surely help Randall Munroe or Kurzgesagt or others answer even more high-energy "what-if" questions with even greater accuracy!
(If anyone wants to critique my solution attempt, I would be interested in any perceived problems with it.

I have a practical interest in finding solutions to difficult moral problems.)

--

Clearly people shouldn't be discriminated against for the protected class they are in.

And yet people shouldn't be required to harness their own free speech for views that they find morally objectionable.

I don't see how any workable solution can dispense with either of those principles.

But I don't see any contradiction either. No discrimination based on customer class. But allowable service limits, on providing unique creative contributions to promoting ideas the supplier finds morally objectionable.

--

The distinction is between mechanical services, creative non-speech related services (always must be provided equally) vs. creative service directly involved in speech choices.

--

A cake maker should provide cakes to anyone. Put any combination of figures for sale on a cake, as a customer requests. Put any writing a customer wants on a cake. And even produce cakes in designs inherently celebrating any ideas, supporting the free speech of the customer.

None of those tasks involve the cake supplier making creative choices about any ideas. The customer made those choices.

But a cake maker can decline to come up with their own wording for phrases supporting ideas they don't agree with. And decline to make choices regarding unique visual designs, specifically promoting an idea they find morally objectionable.

So a gay couple should be able to get a unique cake made (from a maker of custom cakes), with rainbow colors (they chose), in a shape of a non-binary symbol (that they chose), with two male figures on top (at their direction). And the cake maker can be expected to apply their general creative calligraphy and cake shaping skills to make the cake presentable, without having to make any decisions about the ideas it represents that they may or may not have personal moral objections too.

--

The only other aspect I can think of is, suppliers should generally be able to decline projects for moral reasons, as long as the moral objection isn't based on protected class of customer.

For instance, a request for a cake in the shape of genetalia can be rejected for being too obscene, given they would decline such a cake for anyone of any class.
I have no idea of the actual amount of effort that they went through, but you have to remember that Penn and Teller have a massive show in Vegas, plus television shows, books, speaking engagements, appearances on other TV shows, music videos, movies, video games in the 90's, and more.

So, they're engaged with a ton of different industries, not to mention as stage performers who interact with audience members, they're frequently exposed to the public in risky ways.

They almost certainly have a large and very expensive team of lawyers. What a large team of expensive lawyers would reasonably charge to chase down a defendant across multiple nation's borders over several months, I wouldn't dare to guess.

Older Lego trains use IR for control so if you just want to control motors and lights, you can get one of those and control it with the IR blaster on the Flipper. If you also want the sensors/newer programmable hub, then you need the BLE protocol.
This title is pure clickbait.

Hackers _which already hijacked Linux devices_ via some other means, use PRoot to run the code. That "makes these post-exploitation attacks platform and distribution-agnostic".

There is nothing in PRoot particularly useful for attacks -- making Linux software platform and distribution-agnostic is what basically every Linux developer out there wants, and there is a number of projects for this, including docker, appimage, flatpak and others.

So your logic is to accept poor quality service to keep your service online rather than trying to do better and improve service. So you are saying that rather than rewarding a company trying to do better just accept poor service from Aws.How is this better than "hosting on some dodgy start-up" This is nothing to do with my personal beliefs or opinion I'm trying to understand why it's accepted from Aws but not others

So if I’m understanding this correctly, what dbt is giving you is really just a straightforward, reliable way to get SQL executed? You can write some queries, it’ll make sure they’re run (possibly on a schedule or in a dependency flow), it has a bunch of integrations, and it gives some handy lineage metadata. Is that about it?

This whole really just makes me want to write an alternative to dbt that does this stuff, but better. I’m convinced there must be better solutions to sql composability than string interpolations and too-many-yaml-files.
When was that, out of curiosity? I was on the East Coast for middle school, we definitely covered some electronics basics including making simple circuits (and I figured out how to use switches and three-way switches to make logic circuits) and the basic math behind it, the class was called "physical science" (to contrast with life science which was a biology + ecology course the previous year). In Nevada for high school physics it was mostly about classical mechanics (motion) but we did a segment on electronics. All of this was in the 90s.
When I worked at PayPal, the Assistant Treasurer’s husband worked at Deloitte and then the Assistant Treasurer greatly expanded the number of consultants used by Deloitte (from the same team as her husband and many of them actually reported to her husband). They were usually working on unaccountable projects and billing us for work we did ourselves. Many of the consultants were fresh college grads with no relevant experience. Hilariously, one lived in Berkeley but would get a hotel in San Jose during the week to avoid commuting. I was always flabbergasted no one cared about how the budget was being spent. The people pushing consultant budgets are usually the worst sort of managers and doing it because of some ulterior motive in my opinion.
I haven't really heard Top 3 so I can't say, usually it's Big 3 or MBB. The Big part refers more to prestige and influence rather than actually size.

No, and your individual experience (which country/state/city?) doesn't necessarily prove anything: minor violations by cyclists don't necessarily imply any reduction to other people's safety, totally unlike violations by cars/trucks/buses. They often simply mean the regulation doesn't make sense or can safely be ignored (we're all aware of some regulations for motorists being ignored or under-prosecuted.)

Extremely relevant example: many jurisdictions in the US have or are looking at legalizing so-called Idaho stop/rolling stop [0], which allows cyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign, and a red light as a stop sign. (Obviously they still have to stop or yield to pedestrians crossing or about to cross).

Aiui, the server's really just a storage backend implementing the correct API - vaultwarden can't really do any harm, it just stores what the client (encrypts and) tells it to. Worst case it doesn't store, and you still (but only) have a copy on the client.
