Daniel Sanwald to me is one of the most innovative contemporaries. I’ve only met him once but seemed lovely too. Portraits and fashion.

Jamie Hawksworth has a keen eye and delivers warmth in his traditional process. He shoots landscape and fashion.

Nick Night and Craig Mcdean for pushing the boundaries of fashion photography.

Rankin for his work ethic. I could watch him working from my desk for about a year, he worked 12hour days 6 days a week. If he didn’t have a professional job, he always had a side project. Portraits and fashion.
Does anyone know of more technically in-depth presentations / blog posts about the inner workings of CDN's? I'm thinking of stuff like:

- How do they distribute a huge load between multiple servers in a DC (some kind of level 2/3 load balancing I don't know of probably?)

- How is the cached data distributed between POP's?

- The whole TLS termination thing is probably an interesting aspect as well. The sensitive key material is needed on every node / POP, but you probably don't want all keys just lying around in clear text on disks? Some kind of distributed HSM-thingy?

- Just practically, how do you manage all these machines. Something like Ansible, or something more like Nomad/K8S?

Perhaps the fly.io people could write something about this (if they haven't already :-))
>Sure, the Framework laptop is a fun experiment,

Yes/No :) YMMV, but I do rate the framework a tad higher than just an experiment. This is technically the 'first-of-a-new-kind' of a product and or laptop. Give it a few more generation.

The FW-Laptop might not have been the best example but my point is as much as these "evil-companies" do "evil-things" (like H.P now) there will arise a natural counter-market force an products (opportunities) to be "less-evil"
I don't know. I read it for that reason and was also disappointed, but perhaps they mean this passage:

Now, we know that the phenomenon was far more widely represented than had been thought. The now established fact that roughly at the same time such hand stencils were being made in sites hundreds of miles apart should deal a death blow to the theory of pathologic mutilations: how likely would it be that human groups living at such distances from one another should independently develop the same crippling diseases and should react in the same way by immortalizing them on the walls of the caves by means of the same techniques?

Though I don't necessarily agree with their conclusion. I have heard that most frogs and such missing a limb in areas where scientists track such because they are concerned about mutations in reaction to radiation simply lost it when something tried to eat them and they escaped.

I wonder if primitive peoples fairly often suffer injuries and lose parts of fingers.

Edit: The piece strikes me as possibly originally written in French and translated. Perhaps the title is a poor translation?
In my experience, avoiding GC is necessary to hit consistent a 60 FPS. GC pauses will mean randomly dropped frames.
What you say is certainly possible, but nonetheless I find it hard to believe that this has happened in reality.

The reason is that the non-existence of gluten-free food was not restricted to the Antiquity and the Middle Ages, but in many places it remained true e.g. a half century ago.

Where I was born, in Eastern Europe, among the millions of citizens, there was no normal human who would not ingest a lot of gluten every day, but child mortality was very low and the incidence of celiac and similar diseases was low enough that the general public was completely unaware that such diseases even exist.

Moreover, there are published studies that conclude that at least during the last few decades the frequency of gluten-caused illness has been increasing.
If you are suggesting a huge change, then you should be the one to show it is a good change.

I have read the parent comment twice, what is the argument or data supporting employees on boards will be good overall?

What data point do you have? Do you have a causal data point? Would love to hear that!

> Correlation and causation, just because US has high salaries doesn't mean it's because of that etc etc

Read again. I didn't suggest that.
Not demand for the services, that’s high. Supply of talented humans for the role is much much greater than the positions available. So based on the aforementioned logic; lots of competition for limited spots should reduce the wages paid right?
Why would Safari get displaced on iOS, though? Apple users tend to stick to first-party software even when options are available, unless third-party stuff has a significant feature gap (and keep in mind that we're talking about UX here, not how many APIs the browser supports etc). Did Chrome overtake Safari on macOS?
> Yes, it was a cartel, and the companies were cheating on it.

The american police often breaks the law themselves and kills people.

Does it mean we should get rid of police, they don't work just like cartels don't work?

Anyone reasonable agrees murder rate would be higher if there were no police at all.

A cartel does not need to be perfect to achieve wage supression.

I find that in stressful and risky situations people stop trusting the data in front of them. They want to believe things are alright and will keep looking for new pieces of information to confirm that, while downplaying the importance of contradictory information.

Google (Larry and Sergey) nuked morale, half-decimated the workforce by choice, screwed over a tone of projects and saved negative money.

Google could have pulled some big search energy and given everyone a raise and not noticed. Lost 5% of workforce, remaining workforce is easily working 10% less (something). Easily 15% down on throughput since Jan 19th.

Regardless of how little Nintendo employees may make, giving a 10% raise while other tech titans are trading punching their employees in the shorts is a good move.
Can anyone explain how chat interoperability could work while maintaining meaningful encryption?
Great points!
I think the main differentiation for us is the connection to pricing and billing.
Let’s say you have a feature like “how many seats (users) this customer has” it’s not enough to just be able to define it and fetch it where’ve you need it - which is basically what the tools you mentioned will give you.
It depends on which pricing tier the customer’s in. Maybe they bought 5 seats but then 2 more as an add on on top of it. Maybe you want to allow them to use more seats, but just bill them accordingly.

Does it make sense?
I tried to Google what Jobs said about accessibility... I only found what Tim Cook had to say:

FigMax90 – A set of 12 Figma covers inspired on 90s VHS video covers
Hey there, peeps! Yesterday, I got a little wild and went on a Figma cleaning spree. But instead of just tidying up, I got creative and designed some super cool project covers! I just couldn't keep these gems to myself, so I'm sharing them with you all. Give your files a makeover and banish boring-ness for good!

Get ready to add some pizazz to your projects. Have an awesome day!

And don't forget, if you need a hand or just want to say hi, hit me up on Twitter at twitter.com/mike_andreuzza! I'm always here to help or chat.

That’s also been tried with mixed result with XAML, XUL and QtQuick with pretty mixed results.
If you feel your work is so incredibly valuable you can either start a company yourself or become a gold-ticket consultant.

>It'd be cool if the Android version of Firefox got some UI love to bring it back to where it was before they force-updated folks to the "phone only" UI.

Since this is open source, everybody should be able to adjust the UI to their liking. However, there are too many obstacles for this to be a valid option. What would be needed to make this possible? I think Firefox could become much more popular if the users could collaborate easily on designing the interface.
The massive database that the author references is actually published here:

http://data.atoc.org/routeing-guide

The “pink book” is the one to look at to identify which “group” your station is part of. Then with the “yellow book”, you can use it to work out valid routes for a particular ticket, because it lists valid maps you need to join together. For e.g. if I want to travel from Nottingham to Southampton the yellow book says I can use maps:

London

BG + BW

BG + RB

DG + BW

DG + RB

Then, looking across those maps, there is a set of arcane rules determining whether a particular route is valid for a ticket which includes some calculations about ticket prices and not being able to double back on yourself through the same station. On top of that, your ticket might have specific rules on it for e.g. it’s not uncommon to get tickets that say “via London” and when that is the case you have to travel by that route.

These rules are detailed in the intro document which is actually a pretty good read (if you’re interested in trains!) and is available here: http://iblocks-rg-publication.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws...

In theory the ticket selling platforms should just implement this routing guide. In practice it’s not straightforward to implement! I also have a feeling of you tried to do some of the more obscure routings that train guards or station staff might not be too happy even though in theory it is permitted.
Metafilter is another possibility
Totally understandable. It’s the person in power’s job to do that not yours. I would probably do the same.

Given the cycles for Nintendo consoles this sounds pretty reasonable particularly now that they have a single line of consoles with the Switch instead of console + handheld.

It's not like the Wii U sold a lot. Who knows if the Switch replacement won't be a Wii U. Who knows if there won't be two Wii Us in a row.

I relate to your comments about gym a lot. I feel like going to the gym is a mundane, mechanical and very dystopian activity. I never found any 'fun' in the gym and we all know we can't force ourselves doing what we don't enjoy. So I set out searching for physical activity (hopefully strength training) that was fun.

After a lot of trials, I found the answer: F45. Their workouts are pre-designed, group based and <45min. Working out in a group brings evokes some primitive, deep sense of camaraderie that I find very rewarding and motivating. The fact that they are <45 minutes including warmup, working out and stretching makes them really quick for me. The stations are all setup before so I don't need to expend mental or physical energy in setting anything up. And the exercises are super well-designed, so I can leave my brain at home knowing full well that I'm going to get the best results. As an added benefit, my local f45 has a great trainer that helped me heal from injuries and always looks out for my form, so I can focus solely on having fun.

It's honestly been a game changer. I vividly remember moments where I was having such intense sense of euphoria despite being in so much pain. I whole heartedly recommend anyone to try group based HIIT workouts.
I love flagsmith! I just commented below that I think what makes what we’re doing different is the focus on SaaS and costumer features - so which features are enabled for whom based on the pricing tier they’re at.

Completely unrelated, but part of me wants to say it’s too bad that I won’t read the article due your comment (I really won’t now), because it’s an interesting headline, but at the same time these comments tell me whether it’s worth reading or not. The upside is skipping the bad or bloated articles, the downside is skipping articles that were actually good, but the top comment gave a bad review. It’s especially painful when the top comment missed the mark completely. The price you pay I guess.
This is excellent. However, some may feel a large portion on fearing math in school is out of scope (for them). If that's you, after the first few paragraphs of "Our Weird Relationship With Math" skip to "Going Back To The Basics".

By the time I started using NixOS, I'd already decided that the only way for me to install software on a distro was via the package manager. So when I want to run something novel, I generally package it, regardless of distro. (For quick and dirty testing of binaries, of course, an escape hatch or a hack is fine.) I love using openSUSE's public instance of the Open Build Service to easily build and distribute my own packages when I'm using non-NixOS in some situation, and would not hesitate to use or create a hosted one in an enterprise context.

So for me, NixOS doesn't add too much complexity because my minimal complexity commitment is covers much of what NixOS 'adds' anyway. But this story:

> If you only use things people already created environments for it's pretty great.

doesn't end at that layer, and in fact it essentially recurs deeper down!

When it comes to packaging with Nix or crafting environments, what's popular is usually easy, and what's easy is really easy.

But when you go off the beaten path... you're going on a journey. Maybe a short one, but possibly a long and painful one.

For me, Nixpkgs and NixOS have grown so much since I first started running NixOS on desktop (like 8 years ago, now!) that such work is rare enough for me that I hardly think about it. But you're quite right that the additional complexity is there, and it can be discouraging and draining when setting up software environments in that way is new to you, or when you just don't wanna do it.

Help: Google Chrome UX Downgrade
This is my fault for still using Chrome.

Today it auto-updated itself to the latest version (110), and in dark mode (windows 10) on the url bar, when typing things into the urlbar, it no longer shows a blinking cursor if I type in anything resembling previous sites.

To wit: https://i.imgur.com/1r15aY3.png <- this is what it looks like. No blinking cursor, no contrast whatsoever between what I've typed, and what is being auto-completed.

How do I turn this off? And more generally, how do I just... make.... auto-updating stop?
haha I will 100% read this. I am endlessly fascinated by Runescape and the reasons it held such a grip on so many people. In my opinion, a far different appeal than a more mature game like World of Warcraft. There was something to endearing, innocent, and scary about Runescape, all at the same time.
> Newly-added seeds can start immediately and verify pieces on demand, instead of needing a full verify before seeding can begin.

This is a huge annoyance for me with torrent clients. Files that are 80GB or larger take days to verify before they can seed. Having this feature (which makes sense to do) is a more sane way to do it.

I think that's generally correct, but I'm not familiar with all of the rules. That said, even if the Southwest plane had been faster on the runway, they weren't going to be able to maintain 6000 feet of separation. If Southwest starts rolling from a dead stop, and Fedex is barreling in at 140 knots from two miles, they're necessarily going to converge until Southwest accelerates, which takes a minute.

Juan Brown [1] made an interesting point also. For a Cat II or III approach, and this one was definitely Cat III, there is an ILS critical area that Southwest would have impinged on as it was taking off.

The controller very clearly made a huge mistake.

Congratulations on the birth of little data, to the proud dad Big Data are in order.

Well, obviously, the realization that management is largely emotion driven and little data driven, is a prelude for the CEO-AI yet in the makings.

Of course this still got a face to it. A CEO who speaks and talks, as the voice commands, but does not do the part that even humans who think they are good at it, are bad at, decision making. The ground truth is there ("Cooperate history") going back to the merchants of sumeria. Lets learn that lesson, pack it into a decission tree, and wrap that bundle with Chat GPT smooth talking.
