We already have biometric passports in the EU. Why the need to collect biometric data when I have it on me and in my passport as well? This is worse than PII, it should be covered by data protection laws like the GDPR.
This doesn’t seem correct to me. We can’t have nice things because of fear of massive fraud. I’ve heard that programs like SSDI have around a 1% fraud rate. I’ve also heard they deny something like 70% of claims on first application and 90% on appeal. That seems like way too much denial for a system that’s doing pretty good fraud-wise.
OS/2 Warp was awesome. The SOM model and the deep object orientation of the desktop would hold up very well even today.

Sadly, OS/2 Warp was still 16 bit in important places and had a massive flaw in that it had a single I/O queue that could completely lock out the user ( no keyboard or mouse ) even if the OS was technically still running.

I think we are entering an era of several freely available and viable desktops. The pro and con though is they will all be the same from an application perspective since they will all be primarily running POSIX apps ( perhaps with Linux expressions ).

Also, while containers are amazing, they kind of tie us down to the Linux kernel ( at least for now ).
These types of arguments basically always reek of bootlicking to me. It's always a vague "things were better" when the material reality of the situation is everyone feels insanely economically insecure and feels a massive amount of anxiety. We're watching the aggregation of wealth by massive corporation and the loss of "good jobs", while wealth concentrates in the hands of those who already possess it.

I refuse to believe a future where me and all my community have a home and stable lives is unattainable, and anyone who tries to rationalize why we should be happy with scraps deserves their fate of a pitiful of indenture to Amazon
People saying 'codes' and 'softwares' is one of my pet peeves.

I'm an American, btw. It's just 'code' and 'software' to me. Now I just use it as a hint that the person isn't American, much like when someone says 'maths'.
I recently wrote up my strategy for backing up local containers with Borg & Borgmatic here: https://docs.borgbase.com/setup/borg/containers/

Borgmatic will beautifully deal with DB dumps and there is a popular container image to run it. As for the cache ("retrieve some metadata about previous backup from S3"), you don't need to keep it locally. It can be restored from the backup repository.

Hope some of this applies to your K8s setup.
I agree it's ok, but I don't agree with the sentiment of the article that Twitter is disappearing.

It's anecdotal, but I feel that Twitter is on a big upswing.

I'm searching the internet every week for the best resources for remote working parents and lately I've found more and more best gems come from Twitter.

Btw check out my newsletter here if you're a remote working parent - https://thursdaydigest.com/
I'm not actually misconstruing everything you say, now am I? I misunderstood initially what you were saying in your back-and-forth but I think we've gotten past that by now, because no matter how you slice it (whether it was about reading a reply or writing reply), you obviously do have time.

Now back to the meat of the discussion and the questions you dodged: I was wondering if you had any references to support your assertion about the tautological definition of "cancelling" someone, which read to me as "you know it when you see it", which seems overly broad to me. Did you have a citation for this definition?
Yeah airline travelers are price conscious and it is a race to the bottom. If they offer some crazy sale or cheaper fares people will book it. Just look at Frontier/Spirit. They consistently get horrible reviews but people deal with it for a $50 flight.
Tthe health care system works like that sometimes.

An old person had late stage skeleton cancer, extreme pain, drugs didn't help. He wanted to die. The health care system kept him alive against his will for as long as they could

In that case I suppose the reason was instead covering one's own back.
A lot of people argue that a cloud provider has more expertise in a given domain than a customer for whom IT isn't a core competency. I reject this argument. What we have here is the classic principal-agent problem in economics. Your data is (or should be) sacred to you. LastPass's regard for your data is only proportional to the profit they think they can extract from you. Beyond that, they only answer to Citrix's shareholders. (Citrix, or Shitrix as I call them, is ultimately the parent company.)

I swim against the prevailing current in believing that the cloud should only serve as a backup, never as the primary solution.
The problem is that those implementations that do end up being dominant then factually constitute an ill-defined unwritten standard. There are just too many examples of this. So it’s good advice to not start being lenient, because you never know what ends up being dominant. As a sibling comment points out, being lenient in fact increases your chances of becoming dominant.

You've apparently never been in a precarious health situation. I have, my mother has, and she chose to end her life because her daily living situation had deteriorated to the point where she could no longer take care of herself. And no amount of money or increased healthcare would have changed her circumstances.
Eh, that's within the way the word is used; giving your CPU an illegal instruction won't call the cops, but it will crash your software.
Try OSM. It is more reliable than google in performance now, believe it or not.

Address lookup is a shortcoming, and there's this https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation to help you get around that, and sometimes the routing algorithm used by Osmand in particular can be goofy from time to time, I can't speak to other clients. Finally, there's traffic, which is not a problem that can be resolved without collecting and processing data from all users, which I find unethical and so will live without.
Tau vs Pi. I don't know if there will be a way to assess 'truth' but wondering if/when the mainstream will come to their senses and Tau. This is of interest to me because I came to this on my own in middleschool long before learning about Tau.

Delta offers you a buggy website to rebook for no fee. I changed to a flight that was about $1,000 more expensive a few days ago. (note that the significant price change is an edge case caused by travelling on Christmas being particularly undesirable)
One more suggestion. Never ever search any domain you want to buy on GoDaddy. If you search something and the domain name is available and you did not buy it, then good luck getting that domain at a normal price in the future. GoDaddy generally buys it and then parks it with asking price of x100 to x1000 range.
From The Onion I recently learned about psychopathy[0], one[1] of the constituents of which is meanness.

> Meanness entails deficient empathy, lack of affiliative capacity, contempt toward others, predatory exploitativeness, and empowerment through cruelty or destructiveness.

I would not be surprised if any algorithm selected to be effective would wind up externalising its costs on others, hence displaying meanness.

[0] https://www.theonion.com/things-all-cats-do-that-prove-they-...

[1] the other aspects are Disinhibition and Boldness. Comparing to Aristotle's Virtues, do we have reasonable matches between:

Boldness : excessive Fortitude
Disinhibition : insufficient Temperance
Meanness : Wisdom (knowing how to act for one's own benefit)
without Justice (knowing how to act for everyone's benefit) ?
Not sure if still a thing, but years ago some registrars would register an available domain as you searched for it. They could do this instantly, at zero or near-zero costs, and then release it later if the purchase did not go through.

In other words, be careful which tool you use to search for the availability of domains.

Everything else aside, iPhones are more protected on an OPSEC level.
So the author didn't set their domain on auto renew, ignored all warning emails and let it expire. Then someone (probably a bot) bought it and put it back up for sale, for an amount more than the author is willing to pay. And somehow this is all GoDaddy's fault? Where is the "scam" exactly?
About USB-C to barrel plug connectors: I think people generally use a "PD decoy" board with that setup, which does Power Delivery negotiation (usually based on the cheap IP2721 chip but you can get a fancier one from ST) with a PD-capable power brick. This way you can easily get 5/9/12/15/20V out of a single decent quality GaN charger.

Now obviously you want to be careful with where you plug it in but it's still quite convenient.

A more advanced way to do this is use an arduino board that can negotiate arbitrary voltage in 20mV steps with a PPS-compliant charger, effectively giving you a tiny lab power supply (although you can't get under 3.3V and the chargers are still a bit pricy).

The US population has also grown by over 50% since 1965 or so. That’s a lot more competition for land.

The percent of Americans living in urban areas has also grown over time.

Together we have more American competing for limited urban real estate.

Well people have to read between the lines and be charitable.

If both positions are not proven absolute truths, it's just as arrogant to claim another sensible opinion's arrogant.

By the way, if one corrects a statement, I expect to know why? Don't tell someone is just wrong because they think 2 + 2 = 5 and you think 2 + 2 = 4.

That's why we have proof in mathematics so that we deal in truths and not opinions and avoid conflicts.
I recall trying to use restic instead of borg a couple years ago, and some major feature was unavailable. I don't recall what is was, I think it was compression, which made archives quite large, and required larger instances for backup.
I don’t think they’d ever play it, directly. I imagine it’s more like the tip of the iceberg in terms of regional influence the US has.

I'm not concerned for me, I'm concerned with what less sophisticated people are willing to put up with.

Our options are convenience of device sync or one password.

Or some other mechanism, because I have been told in no uncertain terms that's as far as it goes.

I can't even convince this family member to rotate their passwords. What makes you think they'll be willing to put up with more inconvenience?

Again, the problem is the unsophisticated user who only has so much brain space for this shit.
You have pilot test cars moving along carefully mapped paths in some specific urban locations. You also have test trucks moving along some specific interstates (which I would expect to be a somewhat easier task) but with backup human drivers on board.

Neither of these is capable of being placed into a random environment and actually "driving" from environmental feedback with minimal directions (turn left, go right, stop) --- which most any human driver can easily do.

You're not being vindictive. If anything, you're being overly gracious.
I read this helpless attitude on a similar thread recently and it boggles my mind.

It is not like SPY is the only index fund around. There is a low-cost, well managed ETF for just about every angle on the market these days.

So why not invest in a fund that better aligns with your principles? TSLA is ~1% of the SPY, but only 0.04% of FNDX (another large cap fund).

It's not like you need to devote your life to picking stocks, but if owning tesla bothers you, making a one time effort to find something you like better than SPY seems like a reasonable move.

Does anyone have a take on Kopia vs Restic?
I worked for a company, that in retrospect, was Evil. While working there, you couldn’t tell at all. Everything seemed decent, the product wasn’t too bad. Then, one day you get let go for reasons they can’t tell you. They literally do all the things HR told you they would never do, give you a fistful of money to ignore the contract you each signed.

Once you stop and realize it, they break employment and immigration laws all over the place. Meanwhile, you’re in a foreign country, trying to find a new job as quickly as possible. Then you happen to run into users who loath the product you used to work on during interviews and you find out the company you worked for is universally hated.

I wouldn’t call the people in the company toxic, but the company itself is toxic. Being let go was probably the best thing that ever happened to me, but damn. Never again.

Ooh, good idea. Thank you.
It’s not a competition. ;)

Jokes aside, I think your details are a little biased. Plenty of European tech hubs pay competitive salaries. And I know many Americans view tax as a net loss but Europeans do actually get a bunch of services for free because of taxes. Stuff Americans have to worry about on top of their daily daily lives.

It’s not really possible to compare two counties as a like for like in the way yourself and the GP were attempting to. And my point wasn’t to say Europe is better or worse than America. Just that plenty of people in European tech hubs have a very decent standard of living too. You don’t have to work in America to earn a decent wage.
Currently using raindrop.io but it lacks keyboard shortcut support. It has everything else but a proper keyboard shortcut for various things like search, creating folders, tagging etc would seal the deal as the best bookmarking solution.
AltGr+8 is reasonable enough that I don't feel like learning a new layout.

Ctrl+AltGr+8 is involved enough that I might as well press Esc.

A lot of software developers are unaware of the AltGr[1] key or even assume US ANSI layout altogether so as a user I have been trained not to take keybindings involving that layer for granted.

As a real world example of similar issues, there's piece of software (I think it was telnet or mosh, but I apologize if I misremember) where Ctrl+^ is used as an escape sequence. This doesn't work for me, possibly because caret is a dead key[2] on my keyboard. For some reason, perhaps related to using scancodes instead of key codes, Ctrl+6 happens to work in that application.

They've operated without the hub-and-spoke model years but they haven't had to operate with over 8% of their staff leaving. They're understaffed. It was a major issue with Southwest all throughout 2022 and it got brought up on their earnings call with investors. They're a budget airline and they can't afford to take that kind of staffing hit.
Nice article! This would've been very helpful a few years back when I was attempting to make an Anki clone while teaching myself to code.

I'd still love to create a better open-source SRS algorithm at some point in the future. Mostly to use for language learning.

When I was learning Chinese characters, I did a bit of a deep dive into the Anki algorithm and found that the biggest flaw (imho) was the Ease Factor knocking a card back to 0.

If you mostly know a card, but miss it on one day for some reason - maybe you were tired or distracted, that card's learning progress should not be totally reset (as if you were learning it from scratch). That leads you to have too many cards to review on a daily basis. Instead, you should use some modifier to increase the interval to a reasonable level.

More explanation here: https://readbroca.com/anki/ease-hell/

I think it would be awesome to pair SRS with high quality images and audio, which I find most helpful for language learning. I've used Rosetta Stone and Duolingo in the past; Rosetta Stone has great audio and images but lacks a powerful SRS (it also has a number of other flaws in my mind, but I'll save that for another time). Duolingo is great for grammar and explanations, but I can't take the pronunciations and tediousness of it all.

(6) is already solved. Unfortunately, I believe you are correct. It will take another 100 years for the industry to fire 99% of PMs, dumb agile and "professional agile consultants", put biz dev in an anechoic chamber, and use the money saved by getting rid of the navel gazers to pay engineers and hire more.
I did the same thing but dumped it into a table. Small enough dataset that can load the entire thing and just use jquery to filter via drop down selector.

To make it useful I tried filter on characteristics that a buyer would be interested in such as long-haired vs. short.

Well, I think they're talking about tools like tensor flow.

Personally I dont consider open source codebases that don't come with services embedded as services, so things like Blink or AOSP that are made by google are fine, so long as they don't interact with google in any way or incorporate patterns that lead you into their funnel. They're FOSS code, not services, you might as well be running a fork, it doesn't really matter who makes them. I do use some software that is forked from google upstream code that removes these sorts of things, but I go to great lengths to make sure even simple things like using 8.8.8.8 are not occurring.
