I don’t mind seeing completions in my notifications and having the option to show progress in notifications is fine, but I also want the option for a boring old dialog, preferably with the ability to expand and show a high level of detail (think Windows file copy dialogs) that isn’t practical in a notification bubble.
Well, I kind of understand your point though it's from a reverse angle. My previous two jobs gave me maxed out macbooks as work machines, but I really hated them.

They were kind of half-close to the Linux servers I work with, but I needed to use homebrew to make them useable. Why can't Apple get a decent cli environment going?

The GUI stuff just pissed me off. I want to arrange some windows the way I want. I don't actually like tiling window managers, but after using macos I thought it was possibly the only way to make it properly useful.

Keyboards: well, everyone knows about how they fucked that up. The new ones are much better. I like the Mx hardware and when Asahi is fully up to speed, my next personal laptop might well be one of those.
> Original small screen iPhone, where it's easier to reach the top than the bottom…

With phones, it's always been easier to reach the bottom. This is why tab bars have always been at the bottom. This is why soft keyboards have always been at the bottom. This is why Apple moved Safari's controls to the bottom by default.
In the runup to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, the CFO Erin Callan would come on CNBC week in and week out to talk about their "fortress balance sheet" and it would always pump the stock a little bit. Was absolutely infuriating to watch, but you can't get too mad at the people doing it, regardless of how bad things get their incentives are 100% aligned with projecting confidence and praying they can hold on long enough for the market to turn back up.
For sure maintain a "Accomplishments 20XX" file.

I also have a section in that file for buzzwords from team meetings, town halls and broader presentations.

I fill reviews with 3 things

- "I did ___ and ___ and ___"

- "Last year I said I would do ___. This is what I did for it ___"

- "Next, year I plan to ___"

accomplishments are microscopic, aligned to broader team/company goals.

future plans are high level, things I can contribute to but not own like "Improve documentation culture" , "Increase user engagement for ___" never actually committing to any deniable numbers cz priorities change, that document from last year does not.

Last, remember this stuff may seem strange but the next hiring manager in your org will read it. They will instantly see your soft skill to blow your own trumpet.

This is not the technical problem, that's for sure. Maybe GNOME finally got a real UX expert from IBM :)

I had few talks about it with GNOME devs, they said mostly "this is not a problem!" , "go fix it yourself!" and "we're volunteers, pay us". Most of it was in aggressive manner, just like in Trump supporters community.

Glad I'm done with GNOME for now.

I am curious, is putting up with the occasional self-obsessed ceo not worth it?

For example Tesla has a market value greater than every European carmaker combined, having gone from approximately 0 annual car deliveries to over a million in just a few years while revolutionizing electric travel. Or with space x developing reusable rockets that have utterly transformed the industry. These companies will contribute to economic dynamism and wealth creation for years and decades.

Macron said of American space companies, “Unfortunately they’re not European, but they took a bet”. Perhaps at a certain level you need people with lots of money who are willing to risk it
Not entirely sure what you're saying, as Micropython on Zephyr exists.

https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/zephyr/quickref.html

Very weird seeing the Zephyr booting message I've seen so many times followed by the micropython repl startup message I've seen so many times.

Hard to think of a good app for that topology. In the sense that I could stick circuitpython or micropython on a ESP32, or zephyr on a ESP32, so an app running both would get me ... ?

Conceptually, the *python people "could in theory" give up on porting to infinite number of new boards and focus really hard on working under Zephyr, and let Zephyr worry about porting to infinite number of new boards.

The idea of upgrading my MicroPython under Zephyr under MCUboot under Eclipse hawkBit over the wifi is pretty intriguing sounding challenge.

I have not dug into this technology stack other than recreationally. I'm a little unclear how interop works beyond the existing example of passing simple hardware pins thru. For example if MicroPython had a library that interop directly with the Zephyr RTOS features, that would be quite handy. Another thing I notice is the interop in the docs is simple pin pass thru, hard to even imagine how Zephyr's wide variety of networking stacks would pass thru for Python to use. It looks like there is nothing developed at this point where the uC could run a RTOS thread to "do stuff" while a MicroPython thread handled a wifi UI or UI in general or handled the non-RTOS tasks, although that would be cool.
They're saying this like Google doesn't deserve all it's earned here.

Creating maps, endlessly tweaking UX, creating street view, integration with Waze, much faster updates around road construction than any other service, search for companies inside the map based on abstracted terms, 3D-views... any "monopoly" is well earned.

Google isn't forcing users to use their maps, Google just has hands down the best maps and features.

I'm a die-hard DDG user, but I still use g! when I want to see maps or look up directions.
FTX was engaged in a ‘massive, years-long fraud’: US prosecutors
Yeah I don’t know why they did that. It makes it look like the network is not a generic social network but a community-fueled news site. But maybe it is? But then it’s not a Twitter alternative. That is a popular but still mere subset of Twitter.

I've customised the hell out of how it highlights (between channels and queries I have over 1,000 open at any given time), but it doesn't get to send me notifications or make any noise, I tab across to it every so often and read and clear the notifications then.

I use bitlbee to gateway to most non-IRC services plus a paid irccloud acccount to connect to Slack.

This has been our experience as well. Laravel is miles ahead of Drupal and can be used to essentially build anything regardless of complexity.

The only current use case I've seen is in legacy situations primarily because some IT dept for a local govt or university "knows Drupal" and so that's where their comfort level is.

It's a good question.

Theory: Transformers are bidirectional. You can drive them from either side.

For example, in testing one of the devices we manufacture we need 480 Volts AC. At each test rig we use a 480 V to 220 V transformer, drive it backwards and generate 480 VAC from 220 VAC.

Distribution transformers have primaries in the tens of thousands of volts (say, 50 kV) and 220 VAC (for residential service) outputs. The topology could be different, however each home receives a two leg service with 120 VAC per leg.

So, yes, you should be able to drive the low voltage side and end-up with high voltage on the other side.

Let's say you have ten homes on the same transformer. Each home has solar. During a holiday, all homes are empty and nearly all of the power they generate drives the transformer backwards. The power would then drive other transformers and feed homes that need it.

What I don't know is if they explicitly have devices to prevent backwards flow of power. I don't think they do. Not sure this would make any sense. I could see protection devices to prevent overload.

They do both, with considerable other effort in the federal government on infrastructure protection as well as election integrity. You might not hear about it as much because there isn’t a big lobby opposed to infosec but it’s definitely there.
By the reasoning of the article, we would probably say that e-scooters are a new market, and will trend towards subscriptions as the market matures and simplifies.
In what way did it get started under Carter?
No, that's not a contradiction. To add a canonical false value you would have to change the semantics of the language, which means you have to change the standard. In general changing standards is possible, but in the case of CL it is not possible for practical reasons: changing standards costs money and no one would fund such an effort. CL is moribund, not unlike Smalltalk, APL, and COBOL.

One of the more telling things about these conversations is the fact that ChatGPT never caught on that it wasn't actually there to help Susam understand the jokes.
Still relevant 20 years later. People like predictably (it’s easier to budget) and use less of metered services. Hence bandwidth (phones and wired internet) went to bulk buys. There’s good data that people “irrationally” over purchase in bulk vs metered services (buy more minutes than they need) to avoid an unexpected cost.

Also with things like news you don’t even know if it’s I’ll be worth it until you’ve already paid.

In addition the tollbooth infrastructure is expensive. just look at how much of the old phone networks — hardware and bandwidth — was devoted to metering and payment.

So: bad for users and bad for business. Only really sustainable in a few early situations.

I am 0 or I am 1 – a founder’s mental health journey
One of the memes that you frequently see in the upper middle class left-leaning tech worker circles is that anything less than a worker co-op is ultimately an organizational structure that is inequitable and exploitative to its labor force, leading to negative externalities for society at large.

I'm 100% ignorant of the history of labor and of all philosophical dialectic around it, but I would love to form an opinion on this. Would someone mind steel manning both sides of that argument?

E.g. I have questions like, if I'm the founder of a company and I sell it 10 years later and make most of the upside, did I exploit my employees because they didn't make as much as I did in the end?

People talk to the police and incriminate themselves all the time. This has been a front-line of civil rights activists for decades now. What are you even talking about?

> It's not unusual at all for police to pull people over for minor infractions and assert they have the ability to search their cars, and for people who know their rights to decline said search, and for everyone to go on their merry way. If the cop chooses to force a search anyway, it's not unusual at all for them to get sued and for all evidence collected to be deemed inadmissible. This is all, again, extremely well established.

"Not unusual" is a very subjective term and doesn't mean anything at all. And it is now confirmed that Twitter had daily meetings and contacts with the FBI/DHS, which means they did talk to federal law enforcement. There is no reason to make this statement is absurd knowing that they did talk...

> Twitter surely has an army of extremely capable and well-paid lawyers who know very well which requests they have a right to decline. They've got to be more legally equipped than your average 9th grader.

See the links above. Also Twitter is not a person and this does not apply to most employees and moderators. And the execs who knew what they were doing and wouldn't have done it if it weren't in their interest of those of the company. That's where the de facto coercion comes in. The DOJ coming for the Twitter "asking" or "indicating" that they do not approve some content is an undue pressure in and of itself.

>This is why it's important for people to have an accurate understanding of their rights and their relationship with their government. The position you're taking weakens people's understanding of their rights.
So let it be known for any future operators of social media networks: the US government cannot coerce you – even implicitly – to remove legal content from your website. If they do, decline and let them bring you to court, hit up the ACLU to represent you, and sue the fucking daylights out of the US Government. It's your right and your duty!

Okay Mr. Goodman, at this point you're just grandstanding.

I think "cult" is the exact dynamic at play here. As much as I love the internet, it has enabled distributed cults on a level rarely seen before. Not only does it support traditional cults with central leaders and official dogmas (which I think includes most MLMs), but they've allowed for a sort of emergent, leaderless cult based on collective creation of the memes that drive it. E.g., QAnon and the cryptocurrency bubble.

And cults can be very persistent, even in the face of spectacular failure! The Great Disappointment predates the US Civil War, but it spawned at least one group that is still going today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Disappointment
A young fan of James Joyce once asked the Irish maestro, "May I kiss the hand that wrote Ulysses?" The novelist replied: "No, it did lots of other things too."
They are in the top 10 in my country and in many others, and they have been cautioned, which is regulator speech for 'improve your act or we'll go after you'. That means that they are on thin ice with respect to any future mistakes (specifically in their crypto division) and that their reputation (for the whole company) is at risk. The effect is that they will go through their customer portfolio and decide which ones they feel are negatively affecting their risk profile and apparently this is one risk that they are not willing to take.

The Control Strip was pretty anaemic though. It was more like the tray (i.e. a dumping ground for stuff people don't regularly interact with). But still, when you do want to play a CD, there you have it in one click, rather than one click blessed by Fitt's Law to drop a menu down, followed by moving back down carefully to find the thing you actually want. In the meantime I just typed the command with autocompletion in Emacs and moved on with my life.
Exactly. I played life is strange 2 recently. It has a native Linux Version. On startup it complained I should set my CPU governor to performance instead of governor. Then it said it only supports AMD and Nvidia cards. I pressed continue and the system hard-locked. This machine is about a year old today, and this is the only crash I had, ever. After that I configured steam to use the windows version instead, and I could play through the entire game flawlessly.

So, at least from personal experience yes, it makes absolutely no sense to port to Linux, if the result is still worse than proton.

Regularly test under proton during development, and you got a Linux Version of your game for free. From my experience, epic already took good care to make sure unreal engine works well under proton, so if you just pick that and don't add a ton of additional stuff that uses esoteric winapi stuff, you're already set.

Meaning of the song "Mr. Ouija" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
The song "Mr. Ouija" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is about a person seeking answers from the supernatural through a Ouija board. The lyrics reflect a sense of urgency and fear that the person is seeking knowledge from beyond the realm of the living, asking questions such as whether they will die of murder. It is a prayer to the unknown, pleading for a response and asking for guidance. The dark and threatening tone of the song speaks to the existential threat of the unknown and the fragility of life

That's a respectable sample size! :) I hope your older kids still have a strong conduit of communication with you, as you sound like a thoughtful and constructively self-critical person.

My three kids are each unique in different ways, which confounds any attempt to draw predictive conclusions about one parenting style vs another. I can only say what I have done as a parent, and I was happy elsewhere in this thread to share anecdotal mistakes the kids have made along the way. But claiming credit for any positive outcomes would be "results-oriented thinking," as professional poker players warn.

For what it's worth, I haven't been on social media in any meaningful way for probably 10 years. Even my rare tweeting is likely to end given that the guy running that company has spectacularly lost his marbles. My ex-wife and wife are similar. We have no dogma against social media; it's just not very interesting. I work hard at my tech job, but I still make dinner every night for my family. None of this is really for my family or kids in any altruistic sense; it's just how I like to live my life. It's a lot easier to spout a certain parenting philosophy when your own life, and those of your partner(s), match. (I hope this isn't coming off as horribly judgmental; I'm merely admitting that if I had a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude, I'm sure my experience would be a lot rougher.)

>Even globalization is an example. There’s nothing etched in stone that says we need to have child labor mining in Africa for rare earth minerals to make iPhones.

This is a concern troll. If you really cared about child labor abroad, you would unequivocally support globalization as parents don't want their kids to be slaves and more jobs in these countries gives parents more options. Child labor and slavery is caused by a lack of oversight more than anything else, and unions in the US won't help that.
Prescient. I wish for their success because my eyeballs sell for $0.01 per view in ad subsidy, and I would rather directly pay for the subsidy myself and skip the ads. But reflecting on the twenty years since this was written, I'd say he was on the money.

Sidebar, at $0.50 per view it definitely would not work, but I figure at $0.01 a typical user would run up a tab of about $2-5/mo, which is small enough that unpredictability is not a big deal.
It's quite annoying when people just assume that a union would be the best thing for you. They clearly have no idea and just read on the internet that a union would be good for workers so obviously they have to align with that view.

The last thing I want is for freeloaders to essentially never get fired and for some parasitic entity to collect dues for "bargaining" that usually isn't even worth it by the time they finish negotiations. Especially in todays climate.

Sure the threat of a union may mobilize a company to be more competitive and pay more, but the actual unions themselves just seem to never work out. Expecting an entity that doesn't do much to get you all these benefits is almost insane. When has any union actually got everything they promised? Never, at least not in America.
