Are there any programmatic methods to detect integration breakages? Simply relying on unit/integration testing with mock endpoint is not effective, as it cannot capture changes made by third parties. Being notified of breakages is a solution, but not the most ideal one.

I've considered sourcing open API specs, like APIsguru.com, to scan for changes, but I was wondering if you have any other suggestions.
That's true of US-based manufacturers, but foreign manufacturers thrived during that time (French, etc).
Interesting. The trend is to avoid spending gas while buying within budget. I've never used delivery apps but if a company has its own app, I'd buy from them since product costs are almost closer to what they have in store (prob. shipping and handling but that's it).

Now, there's a market opportunity right there.
There’s a better solution; regulate, fine and breakup unscrupulous drug companies.

Hang on, isn’t insulin pricing the exact sort of thing anti-cartel/anti-competitive laws are meant to prevent?
Are they using both AWS and Azure?
> The data is pretty much publicly available.

But the money to run the servers is not.
> For example, seatbelt compliance is at 88% in the U.S., but that 12% that doesn’t comply results in 47% of car accident fatalities (17,000) and costs U.S. employers $5 billion a year, and those costs are passed on to us. They made the choice, but we survivors are left to deal with the grief and the price tag.

Uncited. And poorly argued.

> But the real cost is the 700,000 dead, thousands of which could have been saved if they’d followed the CDC protocols and got vaccinated.

This is flat out wrong. There is no evidence that the vaccines saved any lives. In fact, from the very first big data dump in December 2020 (https://twitter.com/breckyunits/status/1348080756921303041) in the only randomized control experiment—the gold standard—the death rate is equal. Also, from the very first big data dump in February 2020, it was clear the threat from Covid-19 was overblown (https://twitter.com/breckyunits/status/1228117546974371840). There is a $1 million debate being had later this year (https://blog.rootclaim.com/rootclaim-accepts-500000-challeng...) as to whether the vaccines killed more people than they saved. I'm not sure how many they killed, but I have high confidence that they saved next to no one, and if I had to bet I'd take the side that it will turn out they killed more than they saved.

The CDC was wrong. Kareem was wrong. Lebron was right. I was right.

> Vaccine deniers and those who want to “honor” them are like drunk drivers

I have a scientific background and numerous published papers. I spent years working in an Epidemiology Department. I was the Senior Software Engineer at Our World in Data who built the Covid Data Explorer used by 100 million people (probably including Kareem). He compares me to a "drunk driver". That's absurd.

He was wrong. He was dead wrong. And he spread fear and hate against those that were right. Including Lebron and Draymond. Draymond sensed the proponents of the vaccine were pushing "too hard". Kareem objects to this. But he was wrong and Draymond's gut was right. Important questions were being not answered by people who had billions to gain from pushing the vaccines. Draymond picked up on this. Kareem missed it. He owes him and Lebron an apology.
Yeah, I did. I technically use a thunderbird fork. It'd be a shame if the extension ecosystem split though.
thats unfortunate. yeah, we will submit a ticket - thanks for the pointer
Having recently spent a few weeks in large, quite nice, but nearly empty offices (because I wanted to work in office for a change, but most of my cow orkers had other plans), I realized that holding on to oversized offices can backfire, because as nice as the space is, it felt somewhat demoralizing after a while to be nearly alone in such a vast building.
After having multiple google pixel phones break and never having an iPhone break (after much abuse) I realized that the hardware quality far trumps any software AI voodoo that I care about. Mind you I don’t do fancy stuff on my phone- YouTube, insta, texting, email, slack. The main culprits

My 22Ultra overnight: loses 6-8% battery life.
My GF's iPhone 14 overnight: loses 20% battery life.

My GF uses my phone more than I do because her iPhone is usually dead by the end of the day if she doesn't remember to charge it every few hours.

I'm willing to accept a slightly slower phone if it means my phone can make it through the day without me being a hostage to charging.
My car cost under $3k and my only expenses are food and car related stuff. DOC campsite pass for $195 for an entire year. It is insanely cheap to live out of a car. Not really sure why people are losing their mind over this.
I'm not sure I see your point, the only way to get to a world with L2 chargers at apartment buildings and such is to have demand for it or legislation supporting it, the best way to get that is to champion EVs.
Yeah, I would totally get a PPL if it wasn't at minimum $15,000.
So you have a job with no zoom meetings and no slack interactions with colleagues (sorry office drones)?
I would rather have a gen1 SE than my current iPhone 12 mini. Had an iPhone 5 before, but AT&T stopped serving data to it. I thought maaybe it'd be ok not having a headphone jack, but nah, this sucks.
This happened to a team I was on with Google Safe Browsing. The company was a competitor to Google in certain industries. An internal domain was flagged after a security researcher set up an intentionally vulnerable service and visited it in Chrome. The particular domain was shared with some other internal services which caused an internal outage. We registered in the Google Search Console, then leveraged some industry contacts and later our legal team (which had a friendly backchannel with Google's legal team) to escalate within Google. I believe our domains were given special treatment after that.
(not OP). some quick googling reveals lantus is no longer covered by patents. patents in the usa last 20y, and they filed the main patent for that drug in 1994.

it looks like they tried to patent some pen injection mechanism as a way to artificially extend the patent, but the patents were tossed out. I think that's a similar approach to how the Epi-pen people have maintained control, except their pursuit was successful (epinephrine isn't exactly a new chemical, nor is the process for manufacture).

still--manufacture of these drugs is long and expensive process, esp with fda approval. new entrants want to recoup their cost. the public is a great institution to develop generics because it can happily do so without a profit motive.
Forgetting the home vs fast-charger nuance here, important to remember than electric vehicles have no spark plugs, no muffler, no engine oil, and a very simple coolant system.

My Volvo XC40 Recharge has a 2-year/20,000 mile maintenance cycle, the only work it needs is a check of the coolant and brake fluids and replacing cabin air filters.

Having suffered through broken engine mounts, torn exhaust flex pipes, painful spark plug replacements, coolant leaks, pump failures, and countless other issues with ICE engines, the simplicity of electric is a breath of fresh air.

Of course there’s the question of what happens to the battery over the long term but i’ll take that trade over what ai had before any day.
I thought he was implying he invested in Tesla itself?

Also, just because you have a huge bankroll doesn't make money worth less.

15k is 15k, regardless of how much you have in the bank.

It's valid either way to be angry about being mislead for a figure that would be a felony if merely yanked out of one's wallet.
The article shows a reference count field. Presumably, two pointers to the same object could differ in the reference count, which would require masking for them to compare equal.
Arkansas has also removed some of the barriers for electric coops and municipal broadband, but change has been slow.

There are now plenty of rural areas with symmetrical gigabit broadband available, while most cities are stuck with whatever pitiful options Cox or ATT decides to bestow.

Interesting! i would have expected old battery to lead to keeping a charge for less time, but can you explain how it leads to worse perceived performance?
That reminds me... There is a interestingly relevant japaneese phrase for, to put it nicely, not a bright or sharp person: baka.

Supposedly, if I'm remembering last discussion with a japaneese speaker correctly, the same stem is used for "blur", or "blurry" (bokeh, bokeshi).

Which is kind of interesting parallel here
I have something relatively similar, a bunch of old datacenter equipment (cheapest way to get 10+ GB!) and some mikrotik, and then I have hardcoded DHCP leases for my IoT shit, and extensive blocking at the firewall for those devices/MAC addresses.

Good enough for me.
A good thing some company are going all in on remote. In the UK most companies are going back to requiring office presence
I'm sure dedicated people can be more creative than to just do ANOM 7 times but I do get your point.

Anyway, I realized after I wrote the comment that ANOM is a bad example for arguing in favor of ubiquitous end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
ANOM is only attractive to criminal organizations because other forms of "E2EE" are not resilient to government snooping.
It's kind of an interesting point but I do personally land on a preference for ubiquitous E2EE.

Ultimately, I suspect the resources of law enforcement would win out given enough creativity from officers but, unfortunately, the current ecosystem does not require them to be creative.
No, but there is evidence that Geekbench doesn't do a good job of measuring sustained performance.

This video from Geekerwan takes more of a sustained performance / thermal throttling perspective.

The ambitious people who take 500k/year jobs at HFT firms are to top .25% of "workers" in some abstract measure, and have different expectations and causes of burnout relative to the median burnout experiencer who is for example a school teacher or administrative assistant in an office job. Some people have an addiction to the fast pace, feeling of being need, and stress.
Yea a lot of companies have done this to great effect - but I am curious to see what happens when lease renewal time comes. Paying for all that office space to remain ~empty 95% of the time does not look good on a budget.
If it was about intellectual property then it would not be tens of times cheaper in the EU and other countries. Insulin is not something new and advanced that needs special protection
I'd understand if you just resisted the UI changes. In the video they discuss serious underlying technical debt. Thunderbird is twenty years old now and most of us have technical debt on projects that are a fraction of that age!

I support the revived energy around the Thunderbird project and I trust that they will not betray old and loyal power users. Looking forward to future releases.
Practical Discipline
I’d rather do actual work than generate signals for wealth managers to personally capitalize on in a government protected and policed fiat currency scam. It’s no different than a church deeming priests the most pious.

Fingers crossed white collar jobs are on the verge of being AI’d away.

Real logistics information should be made public and democratically planned online across the globe in an organized way, not micro managed by elites who spend a lot getting us to memorize and recite that they own imaginary things.
> has been shown to be effective at controlling costs

That has never happened. What does happen is the cost is borne by the taxpayer rather than the user of the service.

The "warping" of the profit motive in the insulin case is entirely caused by government interference and regulation (by making it nearly impossible for competitors to spin up and make insulin).
Is anybody advocating for leaving them out?

That is a good point, though you're overstating it slightly. My local EA station is that size and the transformer isn't even remotely in the 10 ton size range. It is three cabinets surrounded by arborvitae and takes about the same space as 1.5 parking spots, complete with the bollards.
You seem to be taking an awfully defensive stance as if comment was from someone anti-EV, when in reality anyone reading it would see it merely points out issues with the current available infrastructure.

I haven't heard much hullabaloo made about kerbside EV charging or such for apartment complexes or terraced housing etc in the UK.

Is this something happening quietly, or not being invested in much like rural broadband wasnt?
Nooooooooo

Why change the UI? I mean, I like Thunderbird exactly since it's the only email client that didn't go into the direction of emulating GMail or Apple Mail or other mail interfaces that shows you the messages in a conversational manner.

I like Thunderbird because it has more or less the same user experience of the old "Outlook" Windows application. Why change something that works???

At least I hope they will give users the possibility to remain with the classical interface, otherwise I think I will still remain on older versions (after all IMAP is relatively stable so I shouldn't have that much issues).

The only thing I would like on Thunderbird is sync of the settings with a Mozilla account like Firefox does. Not that it's a big deal, I just copy around the profile directory (because reconfiguring 10 email accounts each time I change/format the PC takes almost 1 hour).
The idea of "find in which direction function decreases most quickly and go that direction" is really deep, and its implementation via this cutting-edge mathematical concept of "gradient" also deserves a whole section as well.
It's not the 2010's anymore. Market interest in unprofitable tech companies has waned.Plus OpenAI's organizational structure makes it a poor candidate for an IPO. Maybe MS will buy it, but honestly there's little reason for them to do that. In any case, pinning all expected value on an IPO doesn't really speak well of the firm's potential value.
Wait, can you link to that?
People dont want insulin (traditional insulin.) They want fancy insulin (modern insulin), because it is convenient. They want modern rapid and long acting insulin. They want pens. Maybe people want the inhalable powder. Those innovations exist outside the original insulin patent. They are also mixing other drugs with the insulin.

>Average retail prices of Novolin and Humulin (traditional short- and intermediate-acting insulins) have gone down, or held steady, while prices of modern rapid- and long-acting insulins continue to go up. On average, traditional insulins now cost less than half of what modern insulins cost.

https://www.goodrx.com/healthcare-access/research/how-much-d...

There is a lot more going on that makes high end insulin expensive. A lot of conversation around insulin is people talking past each other because they are referring to different things that they think should be free, usually one of these additional features on top of the hormone itself.
... and then they added `async`.
You're right, absolutely. It's cool but the money they spent here is pretty ridiculous
I can see how the cost and regulation of museum-piece general aviation planes makes battery powered personal VTOL craft (despite their other shortcomings) attractive.
Service seems to be better in places that don’t accept tips. Maybe the business should be responsible for maintaining a level of service, not individual customers.
That's a great comparison. The code itself is powerful but it is still hard to use because it lacks documentation.

That said, it is definitely stable enough to leave beta. Basecamp and HEY have been running it for years in production.
Yeah but at least you can charge with any of them. Even when you find a Lightning cable, there's a good chance it won't charge for whatever bs reason. That's the only thing I care about. Syncing is over wifi anyway.
Your website isn't quick to find by Duckduckgo or Qwant either. Yahoo doesn't seem to show much either. Startpage.com does find it, though.

I do consistently get your VS Code addon in the first page of search results, though.

When I open up your website I don't really see much. A brand name and some download links are all I can find. I'm not sure if there's much for search engines to find, really.

Your homepage also massively lags my browser for some reason, that can't help in terms of search rankings. It's also continuously downloading megabytes of data for some reason. You should try out your website on a cheap Android phone, your target audience may generally not use those but search engines definitely optimize for them.

> Now, is it really because we compete with Github? Honestly, probably not, but controversy drums up interest and we need interest so that someone out there on the Internet can tell us what we're doing wrong.

You say that as if healthcare isn't extremely regulated already and as if the regulation weren't a big factor in allowing these companies to monopolize the production of insulin. (Or, my favorite example back when I needed the stuff, colchisine.)
If the parliamentarian is "overruled" for political reasons, the likely outcome is that the Senate grinds to a halt, not that the majority party gets to pass desired legislation that otherwise wouldn't pass.

The job of the parliamentarian is to interpret the rules and give advice about what is allowed and what is not. Sure, they can be wrong. But if you don't like the rules, change them. Because any self-governing body that isn't following its own rules isn't actually operating. Any legislation the Senate "passes" in violation of its own rules doesn't actually exist. It's an exercise in futility. Both Democrats and Republicans understand this and both parties value an impartial parliamentarian as an asset. It's a job created out of need:

> Charles Watkins had arrived in the Senate in 1904 from Arkansas to work as a stenographer. Blessed with a photographic memory, and a curiosity about Senate procedures, he eventually transferred to the Senate floor as journal clerk. In 1919 he started what became a 45-year search of the Congressional Record, back to the 1880s, for Senate decisions that interpreted the body’s individual standing rules to the legislative needs of the moment.

> In 1923 Watkins replaced the ailing assistant secretary of the Senate as unofficial advisor on floor procedure to the presiding officer. From that time, he became the body’s parliamentarian, in fact if not in title. Finally, in 1935, at a time when an increased volume of New Deal-era legislation expanded opportunities for procedural confusion and mischief, he gained the actual title.

They’re all much cheaper than they were and more advanced by leaps and bounds.

Thanks! The search function is built with Algolia, I'm sure they support boolean ops like "AND" but I'll need to dig into their API. I think if you search both terms, transcripts containing both should be ranked higher.
Championing them is fine. Championing them in a complacent way with disregard for the masses for whom they are not an option is not.
If you divide outages / new feature then they are one of the best. Last few years they innovated like crazy. Opening VSCode straight from the repo is still my best feature. CoPilot hype is shadowed by chatGTP, but still it is one of their most impressing inventions. GitHub Actions, entire project management (although I still cannot choose colors for "sticky notes" in the project board). They where very innovative comparing to their competition e.g. GitLab.

Over this we have less visible feature like sec scanning that warns you when one of your secrets was actually made public. Or just old good dependency vulns scanning (too noisy for me).

That's why I find this very surprising, company that can innovate this much surely can make use of those people. Maybe this come from Microsoft headquarters, if MS layed off some people then all subsidiaries have to do the same? If so LinkedIn will be next...
There are many causes of lackluster public education, and funding is definitely one of them. Another huge one is the ability of parents who have the time and resources to divert their children (likely already at a huge advantage) to private and charter schools, thereby skewing the public school below the median in a vicious circle. I’ve seen this exact dynamic play out in many of the cities I have lived. It’s also why newer suburbs (avoiding legacy costs and filled with upwardly mobile, resourced families) have excellent public schools.

From my anecdotal experience, Windows 11 works faster on the same work PC I used (up-to-date) Windows 10 on. And I didn't clean install, so it's not that kind of placebo.

It's, however, not silly to ask what this new tool brings to the table, and why users should use it vs. the tool that's existed for 12 years.
I patched a Python Paramiko method to log all data immediately when it came over the wire for an automation library that ran a lot of our automated testing. It's hard to overstate how helpful this was when data seem to be missing. Once we overflowed an internal Paramiko buffer because it wasn't documented and we overlooked this possibility. The logging was important to pinning down the problem. The monkey patching was complex and ugly but ultimately worth it.
"The 80s are back, baby: bank loses all income, gets arrested for cocaine dealing, staff forced to choose between porsche and slip fees"
Right, but that's the problem: with no market, things can't get cheaper because there's no capital to innovate with. That's why General Aviation is in a death spiral (ironically, since "death spiral" is a GA term): fewer people buying planes, companies exit the market and remaining companies have to charge more per-plane to cover fixed costs, GA becomes more expensive, fewer people buy planes, etc.
