> The GP wasn’t trying to make light of his brother-in-laws crime (if he was, he wouldn’t have said what the conviction was).

He was making doing exactly that when he said no one was injured. Just because someone wasn't physically injured doesn't mean they weren't profoundly harmed by being a victim or armed robbery. How long did it take that victim to feel safe in their community again? His brother-in-law took that away from someone and deserves harsh punishment.
The hope is that the audience for these posts, generally indie developers building new sites from scratch, will one day be able to shape the existing large sites that can afford to employ the majority of developers.

The reality is that the existing large sites that can afford to employ the majority of developers have PMs that mandate the horrific UX we encounter day to day.

Consider wearing a product hat as well; is doing undifferentiated work the best use of your very limited engineering resources?

There are less expensive alternatives to PagerDuty that might have fit your budget, and wouldn't have put your engineering team on the hook for managing this custom built service forever.
> Your example is one where nearly no work was done, thus it doesn't deserve much value

You are aware that there is very expensive art out there where the artist did not much work. Like painting a canvas in one colour or throwing an item in the corner of a museum.

According to you, that would not deserve much value but it does have a lot value in reality.

In fact "value" is what somebody else gives to the piece of art.

A prompted AI artwork made by me may have more value to me than all the art in the Louvre.

The discussion here continues to turn around copies when it's not a copy those algorithms generate.
Even twenty years ago, if you went to a bar, you couldn't wear the same jeans to work the next day, because they reeked of smoke.

My city passed an indoor public smoking ban in 2005. At first, when I got a little bit drunk, I'd get nostalgic for the smell of cigarettes. The majority of people didn't smoke, including my friends, but before the ban, you couldn't be in a bar and not be surrounded by the smell of cigarettes. I missed it a little bit.

That nostalgia was outweighed by the benefit of not having a pile of nauseatingly smelly clothes the next day.
Oh come on, relying on local storage is not the same as not having a backup.

Modern web apps can cache all the files they need to function. They can work offline. So when iOS deletes a web app's data, it doesn't just delete some content and maybe a few settings. It's basically like it deletes the entire app and you have to reinstall it (by opening the web app and re-download all assets that make it work). Sure, the icon is still on your home screen, but the entire app behind it is gone.

It'll also delete things like your login status/tokens/etc, so you have to log in again, maybe the web app has settings that it doesn't want to sync across devices, etc.

I assume that when Web Push hits iOS, notifications will only work as long as you open the web app often enough.
What a beautiful api. As a Knex user I appreciate the design influence of Knex, which similarly does not try to give you a full orm but just a structured builder for SQL queries. But I agree that Knex was always a little weird in that it only would execute the query if it was being listened for (so `query.getSql()` or something would get you the stringified query, while `await query` would actually execute it) and had some other quirks (in particular different ways of specifying the root table’s name at the position in the FROM depending on what you were doing).

The TypeScript integration is nice too, I also have treated TS this way as “programmable autocomplete for VS Code.” I will say that doesn't make it super maintainable usually but that's not an issue for the 0.x.x releases of course.
Some products come from AFN/FBA with an ASIN-formatted number on a barcode on the product bag, but which starts with "X" instead of "B". I believe this to be some kind of inventory tracking code that relates the product to the vendor who shipped it into the Amazon fulfillment network. At the rate of 100B ASINs allocated per year, Rebecca may be disappointed to know that in only 967 years, Amazon will begin to collide between ASINs and whatever these numbers are.

Honestly I expect they'll hit some big problems when they first allocate ASINs beyond Bxxxxxxxx as I'm sure a lot of software has begun to expect all ASINs to either be an ISBN or start with "B".

I read entire documentation yesterday, and I am very impressed. Looks fantastic, with some great conventions if you need it quick, but fully customizable if you change your mind later. I particularly like the fact that I can switch from SSG to SSR and back.

File system as db, markdown with templating and js expressions, nasting layouts, quick random endpoints, filtering of collections, named slots everything repo friendly - whats not to like. Also, great content and looking docs (particularly interactive tutorial).

Reminds me a lot of nanoc SSG framework (ruby).
A similar strategy is to find things which were invented 10–100 years ago but considered insignificant then, but due to changing environments can be adapted to be useful today in a way that wasn't possible then.

My day job is to work on software working with self-organising maps, which were last popular in 1980. As far as I know, they were never really used for anything significant then. The reason we can be so successful using them is that we discovered a relatively new environment in which they can improve profits fairly immediately: e-commerce.
In 2017, Lina M. Khan, at the age of 27, published Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox. It said everyone was getting antitrust wrong, and there were other ways giant conglomerates were harming competition. Traditionally, unless the consumer was harmed through short term price fixing, just about anything was allowed to fly. The paper took the legal world by storm, and two years ago, she was nominated, confirmed, and appointed as chair of the Federal Trade Commission.

So largely, someone new, with new ideas, took over a regulatory body that has been coasting along on its lorals. The FTC will now behave non-traditionally, disregarding what has been a very consistent school of thought (defined by Yale Law School professor Robert Bork and University of Chicago Law School professors Richard Posner and Frank Easterbrook) since the 1977 Continental Television v. GTE Sylvania Supreme Court Case redefined the Judicial Systems perspective on anti-trust, neutering the Sherman Act.

In 1978 Robert Bork wrote the book The Antitrust Paradox and Richard Posner wrote Antitrust Law, summarizing the previous decades shift in attitude towards government intervention in the marketplace. Khan believes the those three people influenced the government to become too lenient and hands-off, when it should have been doing more to protect the marketplace from harmful entities that threaten competitiveness.

I did mine in ConTeXt, which is IMO more suited to general-purpose work and futzing with the layout than LaTeX is.

I generally edit the résumé and fine-tune it for each position I’m applying for. That’s easy to do when the sources are plain text, and I can just diff different versions to see what edits I’ve made in the past.

I’m not applying for graphics design or marketing positions. A résumé can look nice, but it’s not all about visual presentation and layout—it’s about content first, and the layout is just there to support the content and make it easy to read. Long ago, I made my résumé using professional layout software. Adobe InDesign, actually. I switched to ConTeXt mostly because it’s easier to make content changes. I haven’t used Scribus, but my experience is that making content changes in layout software is often annoying, unless you’re using some really basic templates or you’ve put a lot of work into your workflow.
That's a nice lead! - I'll try looking into that more. If you have or remember some more details - please share! Thanks!

(One of my use cases is https://github.com/mstorsjo/msvc-wine - and invocation of `cl.exe` or `link.exe` taking 250ms at each is not going to be great (then again `cl.exe` can be made to input several .cpp/.c files, but it becomes more awkward to express that at the build level).
My take on this was best described by this comment: https://old.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/10k31w3/d_...

But why does it matter that there's a [ed.:conjunction]?

It's still discrimination. Anyone who is part of any of this group has reason to react vigorously, to ensure that the group he's part of isn't going to be systematically discriminated against.

This is a literal rule restricting who can publish certain kinds of things at a certain venue based on ethnicity-- partially, yes, but based on ethnicity.

I've been using Word for my resume up until a week ago but rewrote it in html+css because having to keep translated versions of the same document in sync started to become annoying. Now I have a simple pipeline where it builds the document from a text template with content filled from a given yaml file (e.g. `en.yml`, `fr.yml`). The result is self-contained html files in different languages based on the same outline & style.
Feels a bit overengineered but turned out to be pretty neat. Oh, also I can see changes instantly in browser and save as pdf before the LaTeX engine is done compiling ;)
It's not a straightforward example of capitalism because it doesn't earn enough through its service to support itself, and must be propped up by an otherwise external entity.

We joined on collusion for oil at the start of the pandemic with an oil production cut deal that lasted into 2022:

> Oil prices remained depressed for the rest of March. On 2 April, U.S. President Donald Trump, after significant internal pressure, called Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, threatening to withdraw U.S. military support if OPEC and its allies did not cut oil production.[33] The following day, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered energy minister Alexander Novak to prepare an extraordinary OPEC meeting and stated that global production could be cut by 10 million barrels. In response to Putin's statement, oil prices jumped.[34] Even with a 10 million bpd cut, the International Energy Agency estimated that global oil stockpiles would still increase by 15 million bpd. IEA's director, Fatih Birol, stated that 50 million jobs related to oil refining and retail was at risk globally.[35] US oil prices increased by 25% on 2 April, the biggest one-day increase in history. Brent oil increased to $32 on 3 April.[36]

Alphabet’s DeepMind Lays Off Some Staff, Closes Canadian Office
Data on hydrogen filled dirigibles is hard to come by, but I think modern commercial airliners crash less often than them.

Certainly, the 1930s ones do not look good. The first Graf Zeppelin made 590 flights before being scrapped, the second 30, and Hindenburg crashed on its 63th flight. That’s a crash in less than 1000 flights.

For comparison, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747 says “The 747SR had an economic design life objective of 52,000 flights during 20 years of operation, compared to 24,600 flights in 20 years for the standard 747.”, so I assume Boeing thinks there’s a good chance those airplanes will live that long.
I read it within the last couple of years and found the following really weird:

- Objectification and sexualisation of very young women. The main character's marriage-group has a wife who is around 14 or 15. When she dies, there is this disturbing quotation "an explosive bullet hit between her lovely, little-girl breasts." There's a quotation elsewhere that says "She was possibly twelve, at stage when a fem shoots up just before blossoming out into rounded softness."

- Men are portrayed as desperate, lonely, and possessive, and are only prevented from brutalising women by the threat of violence from other men who are just as possessive. There is a bizarre social ritual in which men show their "appreciation" to sexually attractive women by looking them up and down and doing a lot of whistling.

- Women are portrayed as dumb, petty and manipulative. They are often eager to abuse their sexual power over men. The only part that women play in the initial revolution is to parade seductively in front of Authority guards in order to distract them.

- Alienation of homosexuality. It describes men as "turning to other men" if times are bad, but does not countenancne the idea that some men are genuinely (perhaps only) attracted to other men.7

I'm not sure if the actual content is as weird as GoT, but here's the kicker. In GoT I got an impression of "here is a women being objectified, isn't it awful". In MiaHM I got an impression of "here is a women being objectified, isn't it wonderful and totally natural".
Engineers will participate in selecting contract features; it's the equivalent of telling a car dealer you want a car with Android Auto and a sunroof. Engineers absolutely do not negotiate contracts.

It's pretty clear from the replies to my comment that you guys don't actually know what is involved in negotiating a B2B contract. The stuff the engineers are allowed to participate in is the layer of snow covering the tip of the iceberg.

How do you know they were willing to kill? If you rob someone you need to threaten them regardless if you are going to follow through.
I thought the heist was kind of silly though; the whole strategy was just go in and strong-arm the guards, which is kind of lazy. A more clever "Star Wars-y" approach might have been to create some kind of subterfuge such that they could simply walk in and take the credits without even a challenge.

As far as the jailbreak, I had trouble getting emotionally invested in the outcome, as I found Diego Luna's character to be one-dimensional. Again, the approach was simply shoot your way out.

Totally off topic but my buddy ran a coffeeshop for a number of years so I'd go in there when he opened to hang out and start my day. It always blew my mind how many people ordered the 24oz "wake-n-shake" at 7am! The drink is just a vanilla shake with a strizzle of chocolate around the cup and a few shots of espresso in it. Sometimes even with whipped cream on top!

> I assumed the route numbers are more of an American thing (although your comment seems to imply perhaps not)?

In my area (Connecticut), it depends. Some streets are known by their route numbers, vs some streets have route numbers and most people aren't aware of them at all. It's more common to refer by route number if it's a busy main road that changes name from town to town that it passes through.

Then there's upstate New York, with plenty of streets that are only route numbers, despite being otherwise residential normal roads.
This is awesome. Nice work open-sourcing it! I used Splunk at Expedia and it was super expensive and slow. While I wasn't using it for security purposes, it could take 15-30 min for us to detect error logs, and I can imagine that's not okay for security purposes. Good luck guys!
I disagree.

If you're giving presentations as part of your job, then part of your job is to give presentations. Presumably, you should also do a good job of giving those presentations. Giving a good presentation means communicating effectively using the medium, which very well could require becoming enough of a craftsman to use the medium well. Lots of jobs require learning skills that are unrelated to main focus of the job. That's just life.

Of course, we could talk about whether so many people should be giving presentations, but that's another issue...

I suppose the opportunity exists for someone to step in and create a magical tool, but I have to say I think it's probably better if people just learn to communicate visually if they're able.
Why do they use PBKDF2 at all instead of more modern scrypt or bcrypt?
a grinder/dehydrator for organic household garbage would be pretty useful without the service, because desiccated organic garbage won't rot and stink; you can dispose of it at your leisure thereafter, whether by composting, burning, feeding to chickens, or just dumping
We switched to Astro a few months ago. Some team members were not super convinced since NextJs is better known but during our spike to test them both out Astro came on top on ease of use.
We have now been in production for a couple of months and could not be happier. It’s very straight forward for simple sites but we switched a couple of legacy react apps to SSR with it and it was super easy and developer experience is great and speed of rendering could not be better. Looking forward to switching our marketing site next with the help of this new collection API in v2

Most contracts are standard 30-90 days with large enterprises. And they do take a while to process given their large structure. Sometimes there are breaches of contract terms but as a smaller consultancy serving a large organization, you really don't have much leverage to force them to pay faster.

That being said, project continuity is huge with large organizations and if you're opportunistic, there's always something to be fixed. They also pay well and are more likely to pay. That's the tradeoff for slower payments.
> many companies have warrant canaries

Many? It feels like it's been 10 years since I've seen one, and it's only a US thing. I'm wondering if Signal still has one (I can't find it, so maybe the canary is "dead"). Canaries are also a legal grey area.

Does that actually work? What DAW do you use?
Yes - you're absolutely right to have off-site backups. In the past I've had reciprocal backups with others for years, where I host a small box of theirs and they host a small box of mine for exactly this.

Also, having had a colocated box be literally under water during Hurricane Sandy while at a real, proper datacenter in Manhattan, I can say that a thousand year flood can be just as much a concern for datacenters as for homes ;)

There are plenty of cheap colocation providers, too, you know, but that might be more for people like me who don't trust corporations at all.

However, I disagree with the idea that a NAS can't do encryption, but then again I would never consider running an environment that is based solely on what is "shipped by the NAS hardware vendors".

That you're more worried about the government raiding your house than you are worried about them slurping all your data from the hosting provider without you even knowing could be an entirely different discussion thread. Me, I want to know, and I want there to be a proper subpoena, whereas the NSA employees who work for Google or Amazon aren't refusing to work without a subpoena. I don't assume that data encrypted in shared hosting is safe, because hypervisors can be used to pull keys from memory. But that would definitely lead to a different discussion :)

This thread is still interesting to me because I'm often asked to help small businesses figure out online backup with reasonable security, not necessarily complete security. Good luck!
