I was looking for a way to host my calendar and contacts. I looked into Owncloud and tested it but found to be way too much for what I needed. It has it's own ecosystem with an online store. I just need to backup my data.

I found sabre to be perfect. Its barebones as you need it to be. I use DAVx5 on android and add it as an account then changed my calendar/contact's default to that. So now my PC can push notifications to my phone and vise versa using thunderbird.

I enjoyed it so much that I use it to sync data to/from my phone 247. I have my music folder symlinked to sabre and using FolderSync it tries to copy the music anytime I'm connected to wifi. So, if I download a song I know that all my music will be auto copied to my phone.

Same goes for my camera. All my photos are auto copied over to my server. This is huge because my server is setup to run auto backups. It's basically icloud but entirely in my control.

Maybe there's a modern version of my setup, but this has been so great and ultra lightweight and works anywhere.
I understand that some people don't agree with First Past the Post systems, but it's a little overblown to say it's fundamentally undemocratic. And I don't see how a coalition government formed through horse trading and favor-swapping in backroom negotiations is more democratic.

(Somewhat related: Anyone who complains about the 'undemocratically elected' Tories is compelled by consistency to complain about the 'undemocratically elected' Labour government of Tony Blair and the likely forthcoming 'undemocratic' government of Kier Starmer. If they are quiet about that, then they haven't a leg to stand on. See also complaining about the results of the Brexit Referendum, which won a clear, although narrow, majority of the people who bothered to vote, and was therefore legitimate by the lights of people who prefer majority decisions.)

Yes. Typically, those were very junior ones in their first job, who were still learning the ropes. Ramping up on a complicated codebase in a remote setup was very hard for them. Also some senior ICs who wanted to design nuances of a complex system. Amount of work we got done in a few hours with a whiteboard was much more than what we achieved over a few weeks of remote "collaboration".

I'm guessing you have a different experience with slack than I have - because important channels are frequently set to "Alert" - it's extraordinarily bad behavior (to the point at which you are chastised and coached by your manager) - to ever respond to a message in a channel without threading. We have a broad array of "THREAD-PLEASE" Emoji's that you get hit with in the first week or two when you onboard if you do that.

We've taken it next level here - whenever there is an incident - not only don't you respond as a message in the channel, you get a new channel (created by a Bot when IMOC declares an incident) per incident, so all of the activity for that incident is self-contained (can be many, many thousands of messages) - and, of course, even in that split out channel (which is only talking about a single incident) - even there you need to respond on threads, never as a new message.

> even someone like KD was way more significant during that era.

Hard disagree. Have you played pickup basketball before and after Steph? I'm not even saying this is a good thing, but Steph Curry has quite clearly changed the way basketball is played and he made people want to go out and play the game. KD is of course an exceptional player, but how many people model their game after him or try to play like him?

Steph Curry is also pretty clearly the most skilled player in basketball history. The only other player who even comes close is Kyrie Irving. Personally, I appreciate this as much as LeBron and KD's ability to exploit their significant physical advantages (though both are also obviously great basketball minds too). Also, I don't say this as a conspiracist, but how the game is officiated matters too. Would the Cavs have won in 2016 if they weren't given tremendous liberty to manhandle Curry off the ball?

Having said all that, I think it's pretty easy to make a case for LeBron. He and Steph are the two most significant players of their generation. It's hard to argue against LeBron's overall body of work but there is a transcendent magic to Steph's game that sways me. Call it 1a and 1b. But I respect the case for LeBron.

There's loads of stuff that Bing doesn't index very well.

If you turn of JS there's almost no actual text on the site; only the FAQ has any serious amount of text. This probably doesn't help. Having the page open also really slows down my laptop and constantly uses ~50%-75% CPU and ~130M memory. No idea if that's a factor, but it takes quite a lot of computing resources to actually make the homepage render any text and perhaps Bing doesn't deal well with that (and even then, it's not all that much text).

Admittedly I have a somewhat slow laptop, but I can't recall the last time merely opening a webpage slowed down my machine this much, and this includes webapps, so it's really an outlier.

Either way, Microsoft specifically blocking it is the least likely explanation by far.

Until that norm (as said I believe around 2010 or so) you could NOT mix low voltage (and signal) cables with mains (220V-240V AC usually) within a same conduit.

The new norm allows this mixing as long as the low voltage cables are certified as having insulation for 400 V.

Still you cannot strip the cable (i.e. you cannot put a terminator/receptacle) in the same box as mains.

The code is mainly about electrical safety, it doesn't consider the possibility of interference, that is "your" problem (but shielded cables give no problems in practice).
Late 30s. Yes I realize that me 20 years ago would find a lot of distaste in my current position. However, from my point of view, Google is causing a lot more present day harm than Microsoft is. Microsoft has been reduced to the point of having to ship Google's browser, and offering products with Linux support. Google is in no such position, and continues to use anti competitive tactics to vertically integrate, to create a landscape that is favorable to their ad machine. I realize that this is an unpopular opinion, but there ya go.

If/when Bing gains dominance and starts abusing its position, I'll probably change positions, but that's the way it goes when there's a lack of competition in the market. You're left cheering for the best of the worst.

No, it's not the opposite.

Regulations often have the effect of protecting entrenched corporate interests.

Government regulation hurting competition, and hurting the free market by "protecting corporate interests too much" is precisely what people are often complaining about.

Supporting the free market would instead be when you allow competition, and do not protect the entrenched corporations too much.

Copyright and IP laws are probably the quintessential example of government harming the free market by preventing competitors from competing.

Oh that is excellent to hear. I tried OwnCloud years back and found performance too poor with their LAMP stack.
I would be absolutely shocked if they made such a basic hardware feature region-specific. There is practically zero chance that USB-C isn't rolled out worldwide with the iPhone 15.
I had a lot of experience with tons of devices from both ecosystems (because I was at least part-time in mobile dev) from about 2011-2019 and a consistent hallmark of Android devices—regardless of manufacturer, Google's own devices weren't much better—was that their battery life, and especially idle battery life, was markedly worse than iOS devices. In fact, I came into that world as an Android user, and gaining extensive exposure to both ecosystems was what convinced me I'd be better off in almost every way by switching. Android devices only stopped being an absolute joke, by comparison, near the end of that span, but were still lagging on both performance (as far as actual in-practice UX, not benchmarks) and real-world battery life. But it's entirely possible they've closed the gap since.

The insulin that California would be getting from Civica Rx, at least, would be analog insulins. They are partnering together until California can make its own insulin.

You care about single-core performance when you use the web: things like JavaScript processing, layout, etc. will bottleneck on one core and since developers are shipping more code this is probably the most noticeable difference. It's also a little hard to tell in some cases since there are many “native apps” which use an embedded web view for some of their UI.

This is important for developers to know about because if you use a recent iPhone your experience is not just fundamentally better than any Android user's but it's especially significant compared to the kinds of cheaper phones many people buy. Look at the chart here: a Galaxy S22 is comparable to the iPhone XS which shipped 4 years earlier but even the S22 towers over the Moto E30 & other budget phones.

Yes, check out LangChain [0]. It enables you to wire together LLMs with other knowledge sources or even other LLMs. For example, you can use it to hook GPT-3 up to WolframAlpha. I’m sure you could pretty easily add a way for it to communicate with a human expert, too.

If you're ok with integer math and no switches, you can easily make your own seq.

The next time that you are on an OSF/1 operating system, you can use this portable version. It's also probably faster than the fork() overhead, assuming dash.

seq () {
if [ -n "$3" ]
then FIRST=$(($1 + 0)) INCREMENT=$(($2 + 0)) LAST=$(($3 + 0))
else if [ -n "$2" ]
then FIRST=$(($1 + 0)) INCREMENT=1 LAST=$(($2 + 0))
else FIRST=1 INCREMENT=1 LAST=$(($1 + 0))
fi
fi
c=$FIRST
until [ $c -gt $LAST ]
do printf %d\\n $c
c=$((c + INCREMENT))
done
}

That seems alluring. I wonder how large of a percentage of employees would, if prompted directly, opt to have company funds directed to have "ports" in major cities, if it was entangled with their salary.

For one reason or another, those other languages didn't take off and Rust did.

Language adoption isn't just about technical merits (although those have to be there). The ecosystem, tooling, core team, learning resources, and overall community have to be there, too.

To your point - if I want to get started in another language that is 1) statically compiled, 2) non-garbage collected, and 3) memory-safe by design, as far as I can tell my only other mainstream options are Swift / Objective-C, Ada / SPARK, and Nim. I don't see nearly as much activity in those language's open source ecosystems, and "basic" libraries might not even exist due to the small communities.

There is definitely a misconception about how to use a tool like ChatGPT.

If you give it an analytic prompt like "turn this baseball box score into an entertaining outline" it will reliably act as a translator because all of the facts about the game are contained in the prompt.

If you give it a synthetic prompt like "give me quotes from the broadcasters" it will reliably acts as a synthesizer because none of the facts of the transcript are in the prompt.

This ability to perform as a synthesizer is what you are identifying here as "good enough to make people squee and not notice that the output is wrong but not good enough to get the right answer", which is correct, but sometimes fiction is useful!

If all web pages were embedded in ChatGPT's 1536 dimensional vector space and used for analytic augmentation then a tool would more reliably be able to translate a given prompt. The UI could also display the URLs of the nearest-neighbor source material was used to augment the prompt. That seems to be what Bing/Edge has in store.
