I've changed things in Group Policy (e.g., disable Bing/web search in Windows search) because there's no user-facing setting to disable some things and mine says the same. If you've done similar or used any debloat/privacy tools/scripts, that's probably the cause.

Additionally, go to Accounts in Settings and double-check that you're not logged into any "work or school" accounts.

The one thing I can't stand is that if you log into a non-personal Microsoft account in an app, there's a dialog that is very confusing[1]. It asks if you want to use that account everywhere on your device, but there's a box checked by default to let the organization manage your device, a button that says "Yes", and what looks like a hyperlink that says "This app only". I always uncheck the box before clicking "This app only", but I wonder if keeping that box checked would still enable organizational device administration. It screams "dark pattern" to me.

Just to add a tip for others: If you want to use Edge for the Windows optimizations and PlayReady support for streaming services, but don't want to deal with all the annoyances, you can disable many of them via Group Policy[2]. For example, you can disable the "Search Bing in sidebar" option that shows up in context menus[3] that I always seem to accidentally click when I'm trying to search for something I highlighted. I also use Group Policy to set the default search and homescreen settings because then it won't annoy you with the recommendation to set it to Microsoft defaults every time it updates.

Firefox is my main browser, but I use Edge for streaming Netflix and the like because I don't get 4K playback via Widevine. It annoys me because Edge would actually be a great browser if the Bing folks weren't constantly trying to shove things down my throat and filling it with dark patterns.

I think a 6000km vertically downward hole is very unstable and will collapse into itself. Any real feasible geometry would just require so much mass redistribution that it might significantly affect the planet's moment of inertia.
I can't edit text files without vim. I use modern IDEs (IntelliJ) and the first thing I do when I install them is to install Vim plugin.
I use it (well neovim) exclusively now because I like it. I have in the past used Emacs, IntelliJ, and VSCode. All work, the choice between them doesn't matter a jot, and that choice has never had the slightest influence on my competence or so-called 'productivity'.

More useless words have been spent over editor choice than .. "how good is Linux?" or "how terrible is Electron!" or any one of the handful of sometimes entertaining and always vacuous areas of argument software people frequent over their peccadilloes.
My kids' school and high school use Teams for some stuff. I have to use it occasionally for work too. The thing is that's nigh impossible to simply log out as one user and back in as another, so we have to take a lot of care of who used this or that device last.
And don't get me started on the nightmare that is dealing with Minecraft accounts older than the Mojang acquisition.
It's not only Microsoft. Trying to subscribe to third party stuff like Just Dance on the Switch is a kafkian experience that I couldn't solve. My daughter is angry with me for giving up.
> if you’re saying that you shouldn’t just look at the number of CVEs and claim that Rust is somehow less secure

Even more general than that, it’s not about Rust specifically, just that number of CVEs alone, with no other context, is a bad metric.

> That Rust CVEs are somehow lesser because they are self-imposed

I am not saying that, yes. That would be incorrect.
ML models will be getting better and better in the near future. Just how good they can get remains to be seen, but it does look like the beginning of something transformative.
Just send from an email not under your real name.

Further, I am not sure the company can prove this is unauthorized access when they provide the data without requiring authentication (through negligence). They could claim, we made it open to public but the public is not supposed to download it, but this is a difficult claim, eg, it should have been clearly stated in their website at minimum. It’s a bit like public photography.
A father with a daughter that goes to a school, and the father has a Microsoft account, is nowhere near an "edge of functionality". Sounds more like Microsoft has a too-complex login system on their hands, one that needs a ton of backend rework to happen in order to simplify the system for the user (and the developer)'s sanity.

Also, a software engineering product run by a large organization is going to have tons more functionality under its much bigger umbrella compared to a small team with a much smaller product. Consider AWS vs Digital Ocean. Both great companies, but AWS's umbrella of offerings is vast compare to Digital Ocean.
When words hide the truth (2004)
Yep, Microsoft likes to merge accounts, up to five if I am not mistaken.

So usually pressing the wrong option while logging with a new one and existing cookies from another one can land on this mess.

Usually the only way out of the mess is somehow via Microsoft support, which I only saw being successful via MSDN sales contacts.
Monopoly/Duopoly is a natural result of competitive advantage.

Amazon used to allow having multiple accounts with the same email, but different passwords.

Setting up my kids to play on a realms account is horrid experience! And nevermind explaining how to do it to the parents of my kids' friends. Most of the kids still haven't managed to get on.

Also parental controls seems to suck in general on most services. Nintendo Switch seems to get it right for the most part.
Be My Eyes – connects people needing sighted support with volunteers
This is great! I can remember how painful it was to figure this stuff out when I was a student. Even with what I know now, I still learned a few things from browsing through the material.
The Fediverse is already dead
We don't, I already went through this several times since the first .com wave.

And seeing the support we got in several times via the union fellows in the European countries I have worked on, is also a reason why I am quite supportive of them.
Yeah, the identity side of MS products is really dysfunctional. Every time I try to use teams or azure it ends up in hours of finding out the right procedure to log in or switch an account effectively.

And then you get the people asking naively "why are you getting so mad at them"...
I'm glad you liked it. I'd be happy to know about anything from its behaviour that feels badly off from a real tall ship.
Be My Eyes has been posted a few times, but was mentioned in the post about John Boyer, a deaf and blind software engineer, passing (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34931387). So I thought it was fitting to post it again.
The Caspian Sea?
I do the same and agree, though I’m trying to push myself to be a little more sophisticated. The beauty of doing it that way is that it takes no thought.

I want to select from here to just after that letter P. With hjkl and visual mode I’m already halfway there. Whenever I try something clever I always find myself thinking “is that the end of a block? Or maybe I should cut directly to P but oh there’s another one on the line above so it’s the second, need to amend” etc etc etc.
> ot really. The problem is that not the people can take advantage of an inflation-induced wage increase

Sure, but inflation doesn't affect everyone equally. Rent increases or mortgages increases are part of inflation, but do not affect everyone. Nor is the price of many goods if you don't buy them.
It seems that the chart proves my point: years of quantitative easing and inflation around our below 2% and economists complaining that they were failing to foster inflation and could not explain why.
Doesn't seem like a widely used convention.
I don’t think he’s lying but I also don’t think one could say that it is proven he hasn’t modified the system for his benefit just based on the public information on views/impressions/etc.

I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to fake these public facing numbers if a system was modified to boost his tweets.

While I get being skeptical these legacy news organizations, I also don’t see how we could trust Twitter directly in this situation especially given what we’ve already seen what happened under previous leadership there.

Edit: sorry if any of this came off as combative, I’m just irritated with people throwing out how things have been “proved” with equally subjective/potentially unreliable data.
Indeed, telecoms is not the same thing, specially in what concerns standards, patents, kind of software that gets developed versus hardware and so forth, former Nokia Networks over here.
Start using macros for bulk editing.

You'll slow down, reason about your next best move, which slowly helps mastering those optimizations. Not only because they are shorter, but because sometimes they work, as opposed to visual selection etc.

An example: you might find doing jjjj easier when it's a one shot task, but for macros you mainly need "down to the end of the paragraph" (}) and so on.
You don't need to hit 200 wpm but I haven't seen too many programmers who hunt-and-pecks at the keyboard and can't touch type. Even on a Qwerty keyboard you should be able to get high double digits, if not hit/exceed 100 wpm. The two sites I like for practice are:

That is not inflation then.

But some publications are really impressive like this one, which says that sugary drinks are particularly harmful:

Lets see if it is really soon, as it was going to be Summer time 2022 really soon as well.

They still have WGSL semantics to sort out, and there are a couple of issues postponed for post MVP 1.0.

At least now Chrome Canary for Android has WebGPU support as well, no need to mess with Vulkan directly.
I witnessed an egregious bug once - where logging in with one users name and a different users 2FA let me in. I just looked for my notes on it and can’t find them. I’m happy for you not to take my word on it other than to say — I concur that there are some egregious bugs in this area!
After buying a decent espresso machine (or whichever method you prefer) and grinder, the thing that will improve your coffee immeasurably is home roasting (like I started to do 15 years ago, and never looked back)

It is not difficult (although I occasionally over- or underroast a batch) and great fun. Green beans keep for a long time (at least a year) so it is easy to buy in bulk, which is cheaper. Also, I'm never out of coffee....
I don't think you're wrong that you can learn this stuff on the job, but a "primer" kind of class like this which surveys several useful tools helps new engineers develop pattern matching skills around how to continue self-teaching these kinds of things. Shell/scripty/vim-ey,linux-ey stuff can be really challenging to learn how to learn for some people.
> leave you with a predictable but modestly achieving team at best.

What I'd give for this to be the norm. For any organization past a certain size, having a team that performs predictably is worth it's weight in gold.
if you just want to play offline, the prism launcher still lets you authenticate using the old mojang accounts. (which is not to contradict your claim, as it's not an official launcher).

I held out for a really long time, but a friend wanted to play minecraft with me so I finally caved. If they ask me to add a phone number I'll probably just abandon the account though, and look into piracy of the game I purchased.
https://www.netflix.com/security.txt exits, but Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta don't have one.
This is one of the worst Fediverse smears I've read. I have my own complaints with the dominant culture of Mastodon and Pleroma, but this is insane. Something is not 'dead' because somebody mildly offended you, especially not when the norm is mass blocking and defederation in favour of these types of people.
I have a blind colleague at work. I interviewed him and recall he was using a screen reader in the IDE while solving our coding problem. I thought that was amazing to witness. He's a great engineer.
Several commenters suggest to do nothing to stay out of trouble. What if the system is compromised by someone else, possibly with bad intentions, tomorrow? You might already have left traces. If an investigation is conducted it could lead back to you. Not reporting it could get you in a lot more trouble.
Read up on the topic of Responsible Disclosure. Or consider reporting it through a lawyer and journalist, as others have suggested
just like google, it might randomly lock you out based on heuristics or ask you to add a phone number to proceed.
That's because Bitnami is useful for VMware for their image catalog (what this post is about) and not for their forays into k8s land. It took me some serious convincing to keep sealed-secrets from being abandoned too (I'm the former sealed-secrets maintainer).

I'm happy to see that my former colleagues are still doing a great job with the images!
You don’t need breakpoints all the time though. If you’re familiar with the code (or just “talented”), you might have an intuition for what the problem is and it’s faster to just think through it (and maybe write a few quick prints) instead of interrupting your train of thought setting breakpoints, clicking continue, waiting for the IDE to freaking load the debugging session (cough Visual Studio), rerunning the test, etc.

Besides, every IDE has a different way to debug, so they might just not be familiar with the interface. I can’t tell you exactly how to debug in VSCode even though I’ve used it the most. I’ve had to run a debugger only a handful of times in the past couple of years and it’s always for codebases that are more tangled (e.g. .NET where there’s interfaces everywhere).
Whether you think that:

a) Universities are places of higher learning that do not need to cater to industry

b) There is an implicit social contract whereby universities should produce industry-ready graduates

c) Something in-between

… the skills taught in this course are as useful for the PhD candidate as for the junior software engineer.

Why leave these out or up to the student, then?

Furthermore, in many other academic disciplines, it’s very common to teach applied technique (eg, on writing essays or structuring research), is this any different?
It'd be helpful to understand who else JPMorgan is engaged with, from the Epstein-window moving forward. Surely the Epstein accounts weren't in a vacuum. Are there noticeable links to other high-profile individuals/companies?

You should yes, but world is full of "shoulds" that aren't followed, often for entirely valid reasons. If the organization doesn't have a public bug bounty program, then I wouldn't report it to them - find an intermediary to whom you can anonymously dump the information to. Even something as trivial "view source" is liable to get you investigated for 'hacking', which is a hassle you just shouldn't have to deal with - here's the story of a journalist in Missouri who had that happen to them.

There is a world of programming where debuggers don't serve much purpose. Individual microservices are usually trivial, but push complexity into the interactions between services. Debuggers are not much use there; distributed tracing is more relevant. Functional programming, which is a growing part of the industry, really emphasizes code you can easily reason about. That's arguably the whole point of functional programming. Debuggers don't get much use there either.
Solution: run Windows in a VM, one machine per account, nuke it from orbit when-not-if something goes awry. Hundreds of hours of frustration prevented from a system that is not even able to have the same UI across all its windows.
> i highly doubt you can get any espresso maker with $50 that produces the right pressure, consistently enough, and with evenly heat enough, to produce anything that someone would call espresso.

I just did. I'll spare myself the snobbery in your remark and stand by mine. There's quite a bit of sophistry in how coffee is (subjectively) appreciated and my argument is based on one such observed fallacy.

As a traveler, I've noted that the problem of finding a good espresso is common among people who would call themselves aficionados. I've also observed such people who would normally look down at the entry-level Breville or DeLonghi machines, with similar arguments to yours, be perfectly content with the output of a Staresso or Nanopresso when traveling/camping, even if it's admittedly not on par with what their high-end machine usually produces at home. Now, forgive the subjective argument, but I'd say that the popular Breville Roma produces a noticeably better espresso than either the Staresso or Nanopresso. If you like the latter, you should also be able to somewhat enjoy the former.

Hop on Facebook Marketplace and I bet you could find a second-hand Roma for around 50$.
I'm thinking the issue is a crypto-ransomware in their server farm...
Tldr: No they don't. (Speaking as someone who grew up in the Southern hemisphere and now lives in the Northern).

Long version: I mean, there might be some who do but that's true of any deliberately perverse opinion[1]. I expect that generally people think of the Earth's direction of rotation as being from East to West and if they were trying to get to clockwise/anticlockwise they would specify which pole they were standing at.

[1] You can make a clock that rotates counterclockwise[2] but that doesn't prove that words have no meaning, just that you're a curmudgeon. Most people would concede they know what you mean when you ask whether the earth rotates clockwise or anticlockwise and that wouldn't vary between Southern and Northern hemisphere dwellers I think.

[2] which is an interesting philosophical/linguistic conundrum because isn't the direction of rotation of a clock by definition "clockwise" whichever direction it rotates? It is a clock after all.

The switch over the Microsoft login for Minecraft was so bad that I just gave up and got the kids using MineTest instead.

And MS login for work is a complete shambles. I have to do a tactical login to Outlook with a different work account to switch login when I try to use Azure as that's the only obvious way to move to a different org account. It's horrible.
Like you, a Timemore C2 and a V60 here (plus a Clever Dripper for immersion occasionally). I didn't enjoy light roasts initially - too acidic! - but over the years, my taste buds have shifted to prefer fruitier, more complex coffees. I still enjoy balanced, non-bitter dark roasts as are common in Japan.

I also enjoy digging into the science of coffee brewing, though - finding out how exactly changing method, temperature, grind size, and brew time change the relative ratios of compounds extracted. There's still a lot of disagreement about the effect of temperature, for example (most experts say temp should be kept higher, while a minority of hobbyists go for lower temperature sometimes). It's a nerdy hobby.
Couldn't you buy Microsoft Store gift cards so you can use your kid's account to keep the subscription active while not using your credit card directly?
I completely believe you - I have performed this setup twice, on different machines, and in both cases the end result is that it uses the kids PIN to authenticate despite requesting the adult's PIN.

I have no idea where to report the issue to (Microsoft store? Minecraft support? Microsoft Windows support?), and having dealt with Microsoft support in a professional capacity I know that even if I do figure out where to report it that they will waste weeks of my time asking me to explain the issue and then claim it's working as designed without understanding the problem at all.
How do organisations justify so many lost hours of a day where employees just struggle with Microsoft’s abysmal software instead of doing real work.
I'm assuming "deletion of your data" only includes any information that might be associated with the school... hopefully not the rest of my Microsoft account!

Whenever I see such a serious warning, I will almost always take a long period of consideration before proceeding. Remember that you're dealing with a company which acts like they believe you shouldn't own your computer. If a company with that attitude believes they should warn you about something, it's certainly serious.
Can you explain how you arrived at that conclusion?
I used to drive this road to work. I am glad I don't any more. A fulcrum of human stupidity.
Or Big Sugar not actively lobbying and promoting their propaganda would help greatly — it really is unbelievable that due to having loads of corn, the US decided to slowly kill their populace by forcing them onto an over-sweetened diet, purely for profit. For foreigners, plenty of food is simply not edible they are so sweet, like who puts sugar into bread?! And it being the way people grew up with, it is exceedingly hard to change. And it does show up very well on statistics between different first world countries.

This sounds like a GC scheduling bug in Bun

For now, try doing Bun.gc() and if that doesn’t help enough, try Bun.gc(true). This isn’t a great solution because it will make your code slower

The GC schedules automatically on event loop tasks and in a few other points in the lifecycle of the application. It is not yet scheduling under memory pressure events and I think that’s what’s missing here
