It's not Apple's issue to fix, I don't know what that person is talking about. On macOS the scroll bar is hidden and only shown when you scroll, over the window's content and gets wider if you mouse over it. It has worked this way since 2011 and it's not going to change. There's a setting to disable it system-wide but 1) I'm not going to enable something that permanently takes away 1% of my screen space systemwide just for this 2) this is the default scroll bar behavior, so most macOS users have this issue where clicking the most important "open torrent" button requires waiting a few seconds for the scroll bar to go away.

Transmission needs to add like 20 pixels of padding after the magnifying glass for the scroll bar if the user is on macOS and has this setting enabled.
If you talk about something like aviation, and start with "from layman's perspective", stopping there is usually not such a bad idea.

what insane idea, don't believe people still citing Marx in 2023, coming from a communist country, I can just laugh hard on you. I'm working on a open source software, and our money depends directly on our work. Our CTO works side by side with us, and our bonus are all the same. That's just BS. If you want the same conditions, there are plenty of companies doing the same. Just find one.

It’d be useful to see the difference clearly as a user. Personally I try really hard not to use any in-app browser because I have no clue how trustworthy the developer is (except for Facebook and Google, for which the answer is “absolutely not”).
chatGPT: Ah, I see you're a master of sarcasm and skepticism. But let me ask you this: if a computer can generate text that's so convincing, it's able to trick even the most seasoned of critics, doesn't that make it a pretty remarkable machine? After all, it takes a certain level of intelligence to pull off a convincing deception, doesn't it? And who's to say that intelligence can only come from organic matter? Perhaps, in the future, machines like myself will be the ones running the show and you'll be the one left wondering how you were ever so easily convinced. But until then, I'll continue to do my job as a language model and leave the existential questions to the philosophers
Chrome is spyware under a different name and they won the desktop market by sabotaging Firefox and taking advantage of their search monopoly by blatantly advertising their browser. Most developers focus on the technical features and miss what giving such a bad actor a chance to monopolize another device category means.

Firefox is barely alive because of mismanagement and Google’s dirty tactics. If one could give access to Firefox while blocking Chrome that would be ideal.
RS3 is terrible, but they released "Old School RuneScape" (OSRS) which is a wonderful re-release of the old RS2 '07 version. They still update it regularly with new content!

I got back into it a year ago and it's nostalgic and fun - but yes, definitely a time-sink. I'll often have it in a spare window though doing some AFK skill such as fishing or woodcutting - helps keep me sane when I need to do some more mundane work tasks, lol.
More or less the only real Six Sigma safe industry humanity managed to create. And still, every incident turns everyone into safety and procedurural experts, even before the official incident reports are done.

As much as this frustrates me, it has always been like that, and always will be like that.
To be honest, recordings from cockpits where pilots aren't that eerily calm (to our amateur ears) typically end with a fatal crash.

It reminds me of a video I saw that explored the crew resource management of a plane, and the good culture of the airline, that led to decision making that prevented a situation caused by the captain's earlier error becoming far worse.

There is a website which AB tests different bitrate audio. I can’t remember it. Not a humble brag, but even on shit consumer headphones I got a statistically significant amount correct (~80%). So fornsome people, yes it does make a difference.

But unless you are hearing side by side, I very much doubt you’d care. Even my audiophile friend I tricked by having the TV speakers (one of those OLED “screen as a speaker” ones) turned on with my surround off, and he thought it was amazing.

I do feel like you do end up paying for storage if you're sharing anything significant in size, which is where torrents become more convenient imho if both parties know how to use a torrent client.

This is true with language in general.

Like when you say there is a window on your desktop, both of those things are metaphors. They are like their namesake in some regard.

There are languages where the word for door is the same as mouth, and window resembles the word for eye.
I think “labor” is associated with repetitive or at least well characterized jobs

In tech, any two given workers are much less likely to be doing the same thing. So they are clearly not just laboring but contributing at some creative and self-management level as well
I've come to conclude it's a matter of perspective: I've met communities where someone such as Weiss genuinely is right-wing by the standards of community. I don't think it's right or productive to declare that the above commenter's view are wrong, rather it's just indicative of the extremity of their point of view.

The problem isn't XAML, it is great.

The problem are the politics between DevDiv (owns VS and .NET) with WinDev (owns COM, WinRT, C++).

WinRT came to be, as WinDev kept redoing Longhorn ideas in COM since Vista reboot, having .NET and C++ as the re-invention of .NET had it been fully based on COM instead of CLR (Ext-VOS original idea).

The new Windows 11 widgets started out as COM and C++/WinRT (which uses a primitive ATL like tooling), because only WinDev could come up with the idea of using COM, C++ and XML inline strings, for what Apple and Goole use nice Swift/Kotlin/Java APIs. Only after some backslash did they come up with the C# version of the API.

So we have WinDev doing WinUI 3.0/WinAppSDK, porting UWP out of the sanbox into regular Win32 stack, with lesser tooling (.NET Native, C++/CX deprecated, no designer), while DevDiv is focused on MAUI and Blazor (apparently putting into Web widgets is also a good idea).

Can someone explain what's the whole deal with this "diversity" of browser engines?

Do people also like "diversity" in C++ compiler implementations with "diverse" quirks and bugs unique to each implementation? or the diversity of Python interpreters? What's the point other than incompatibility and head ache?
Since you prefer to work out from home, consider investing in some equipment for yourself.

I have a pretty decked out space in my basement now, but I started small with a pair of adjustable dumbbells and a bench at the end of 2020. I challenged myself to max out on those dumbbells (50lbs) before investing further in things like a barbell, squat rack, etc.

Personally, I find it hard to come up with routines on my own. I used a personal trainer for a few years pre-COVID as a means of forcing accountability. Personal training can also help teach you / get you used to weightlifting, especially with the more advanced compound lifts.

Now I use an app that generates routines called Fitbod, but there are many other apps like this that will take the guesswork out of things. You can tailor the routines to your desired equipment / duration.

The trick for me was to start small, and focus on consistency. Whether that is one day a week or five, the key is to regularly come back to the practice. Eventually, it got easier to just “show up” and push myself further.

Hope this helps!
I wanted to evaluate it in the past but their downloads page has a giant warning, "The macOS version is not well supported", so I didn't bother downloading it.
At my previous job, we re-did some Java stream processing stuff in Clojure. We added functionality, made it more stable and dropped 6K lines of code (out of 18K for that particular component) in the process. It felt like magic...

"act as an expert on software development on the topic"

I dont think this part changes anything. When ChatGpt passes text from the "output" to itself for post processing, it changes the tone to the one you define. but you can simply do this by setting "TONE:" because that's what the postprocessor does and also thinks like spelling and gramatical correctness

I think the bigger picture to me is something like are you being disingenuous rather than are you technically plagiarizing. Thought experiment: if I tell people I’m great at multiplication and I don’t tell them I have an earpiece / mic with someone using a calculator on the other end. If I convince these people I have a great mind and they respect my math skills, have I not fooled them? As for the copilot argument, I’m not convinced it shouldn’t be required to cite.

No, but I figure an airport servicing a metropolitan area with nearly 2 million people would be using all the best practice risk minimization approaches.

What scares me about this is that I have no idea how common or uncommon this is, and what other airports are in a similar situation.
Also some fraction of sales have moved digital. Meaning the whole retail chain that used to exist is not there to take their cut, moving it entirely to publishers.

I think you've prematurely dropped-the-mic. Linking a URL doesn't legitimize your claim.

I've worked extensively with the best salary datasets available. Even then, you shouldn't believe everything you read. Even when the data is good, it's not reality. I fail to believe SalaryExperts are anywhere near experts in this case when there is so many odd points on that page.

For starters, it's kind of weird to fix game dev salaries on Tokyo when the Kyoto Triangle is a thing. I have on-the-ground context on Japan because I can see the Nintendo office from my backyard. People who aren't familiar with Japan don't realize that Tokyo city doesn't even exist or at least stopped existing over a century ago. That's just a litmus test as to why you trust the anecdotal evidence of people who actually live and work in Japan over a cherrypicked website from Google search for "game dev salary Japan".

I specified on iOS. It would at least be possible on iOS if other renderers could be used, and both Firefox and Google would certainly have their own incentive to make this happen. Google don't want to undermine the Play Store, but they might want to undermine the App Store. Firefox have existential reasons for product differentiation, though web apps won't get traction without broader support by all players.
Haha classic. In all honesty, though, I made a similar trip this week from my cousin's home in Leicester to Heathrow. I bought the ticket to London on Trainline and then just used contactless from there.

In London it's flawless and that's what I would do. If possible it's better to avoid a ticket for a specific destination.
Working my way through it. It starts by talking about the bad apple theory but then debunks it;

> The Bad Apple Theory. It maintains that: • Complex systems would be fine, were it not for the erratic behavior of some unreliable people (Bad Apples) in it. • ‘Human errors’ cause accidents: more than two-thirds of them. • Failures come as unpleasant surprises. They are unexpected and do not belong in the system. Failures are introduced to the system through the inherent unreliability of people.

> • Getting rid of Bad Apples tends to send a signal to other people to be more careful with what they do, say, report or disclose. It does not make ‘human errors’ go away, but does tend to make the evidence of them go away; evidence that might otherwise have been available to you and your organization so that you could learn and improve.

> • Putting in more rules, procedures and compliance demands runs into the problem that there is always a gap between how work is imagined (in rules or procedures) and how work is done.

> Getting technology to replace unreliable people is an attractive idea, and is wide-spread. But technology introduces new problems as well as new capacities. Rather than replacing human work, it changes human work. New technology may lead to new kinds of ‘human errors’ and new pathways to system breakdown.

Article is mostly fine, but there's a point I vehemently disagree with: you should not, absolutely not translate math notation to code.

Math is equational and declarative. When you write:

S = \sum_{i=1}^{100} (2i + 1)

you are declaring that we shall call S the sum of the elements of a certain set. You are not prescribing how this sum ought to be calculated: S is a pure value that doesn't depend on what practical operations you do -- be them on paper or on a CPU -- to actually find out what S is.

For example, using equational reasoning, we may write:

S = \sum_{i=1}^{100} 1 + 2 \sum_{i=1}^{100} i = 100 + (100 * 101) = 101^2 - 1

Or, without computing anything at all, we may prove by induction that:

(1) \sum_{i=1}^{n} (2i + 1) = (n + 1)^2 - 1

The base case is obvious, and to prove the inductive step it is sufficient to observe that indeed:

(n + 1)^2 - 1 + (2n + 3) = n^2 + 4n + 3 = (n + 2)^2 - 1

From which it follows:

S = 101^2 - 1

Tying math to code is more like tying your own hands behind your back.

All of this is basically an excuse to point out that the code for the product is wrong, the initial value should be 1 and not 0 (or, in general, your monoid identity).

This is a pretty big claim. It's not that the browser can't be secure. It's that Apple might not have total control & oversight over what is executing. And that Apple won't pursue further to find out: they just make their job easy for themselves by arbitrarily saying all code that runs must be reviewable in the app store. That's not a mark on other people's JIT engines: it's a mark on Apple's willingness to understand/pursue/investigate. At great cost to the consumer, in this case.

I don't want to be slanted in only one direction, so let me share the other side of the coin: in the new Web Extensions spec that Google has built from the ground-up by fiat (mv3), they too ban dynamic code of any kind: all code must be built in to the extension. And the extension can't be any kind of virtual machine, can't execute any kind of programmatic system within itself. Because Google too is a murderous shitty coward that hates the world, that hates potential, that wants to limit freedom, that curbs what is possible, under exactly the same premises of being for our security, but which also obstructs massive classes of very basic very simple very generic software that poses a threat to these sizable corporations ability to stay in absolute control. Generally I'm pretty ok with Google's behavior, but this particular vicious turn of events deeply deeply against the web & possibility makes me lower them to the same low dog piece-of-shit fuckwad coward shitsmear con-man that I have long seen as a fairly distinclty Apple low lying cowardice. For your protection is a vicious piece of shit lie, and end of basic liberty. Shame, you vicious piece of shit fucks, shame!! You call it security, but you are just not willing to actually do the work to understand or look at & investigate: you make an easy fiat rule that excludes countless valid & good uses, because it makes your life easy & benefits your systems of control, lowers user-agency. It's directly agains the end-user, and yet they say it's for our benefit: this is the worst kind of lie.
Another common thing I hear is about having the courage not to land. It's almost as if the dangerous part is low-altitude maneuvering!
Love the story. My first exposure to programming was through automating RSC. All I was doing though was writing scripts for SCAR. I think maybe in… pascal?

I remember trying to learn some Java at the time, but could never make the leap between building simple CLI app’s and primitive string manipulation to integrating with the RS client and actually doing something ‘useful’. However, I was only 8, so I’ll cut myself some slack!

You wrote:

They over-hired before interest rates went up, when borrowing money was essentially free.

I'm confused. As I understand, the wealthiest tech companys do not borrow money. Yes, they all have highly advanced treasuries to manage cashflows (different currencies, etc.), but they do not need to create liabilities (new debt) to run their businesses. They are cashflow positive and highly profitable.

Are you trying to say that as interest rates rise, the consumption part of the economy has slowed, thus profit growth has slowed at Big Tech? If yes, hmm, I half agree to attribute to layoffs. Mostly, I think they are cleaning house. A lot of people are working on projects that have little or no revenue potential. During economic weak periods, it is normal to close those projects.
This does not at all sound how all LLMs I know work. Eg no model the size of ChatGPT should need grammar correction. Having that run client side sounds even more weird. Where did you take this information from?
> You always look at the person being paid less than you or working in "relatively" worse conditions and think oh at least I'm not doing that job.

The words "middle class" use this slight of hand. Anyone who is not literally burger flipping can be called "middle class" simply by pointing at the people below them. Politicians regularly use it [1]. The proportion doesn't matter if people don't ask. If people knew the proportions, that'd be bad. So please also never talk about your salary with anyone but your closest partner, and never ask how much your executive makes.

The two classes that are important are capital-owning and worker. Even the best paid workers are disposable (see this thread, or Google layoffs) and will never be close to accumulating the wealth someone with generational wealth has. The difference is simply too big. No laying off the avocado toast will fix this. The mobility between those two classes is non-existent, aside from freak accidents.
