Not quite the same level as this, but I had a coworker a long time ago that used to leave sensitive travel information out in the open frequently. After a few times of changing their rental car reservation from a corporate-compliant small car over to a minivan or 12 person passenger van, they came to understand not to leak sensitive data.
Many companies allow or even encourage using work phones privately. That way, they motivate their employees to not just switch the phone off and leave it on the desk locker in the office after finishing work.

This gives them a nice "side effect" of unlimited reachability.

That's the reason I actually power off my work phone after hours.

Being the only person able to program in a small team, I know I am the target of the criticism in this post.

I think it is mostly true, I wish there were other people looking at my code, but for years I've been working on projects alone.

What I came to realize is that there are some kinds of software where quality is paramount, mainly the code that will carry on for years, and require constant changes.

But there are some software that only exist to fix a particular issue that doesn't require change over time. The typical Perl script that lives unchanged for years doing a single task. For this particular case, quality matters less than portability and relying on solid dependencies that do not require maintenance.

In the end, management does not care about code quality, as long as money is flowing.

For lonely programmers, identifying the code that should be high quality (the one you will be looking at continuously) and the one is only there to fix a single problem is really important.
Not Danish. Danish is pretty alien. Norwegian is quite easy for an English speaker, plus all the dialects mean that even technicalities such as the tone accent can be "worked around". Swedish and Norwegian are both pretty easy to pronounce and pretty easy to learn as an English speaker. Most of the problem is vocabulary, not really so much the grammar.

It's still in beta, but Logseq supports org-mode formatted notes and runs on mobile platforms. I just sync it to my computers. You can do it yourself, but they also offer a service.

Giving presentations from org mode is sweet, because you can execute any code or examples right from the slides. Management doesn't need to know what the underlying tech is.

Having a Google Docs like platform would be very cool though. I'm surprised there isn't a secure P2P framework that can do this in a browser yet.

Overleaf for Latex is cool, but something that could operate on any plain text file like Markdown, org-mode, or Yaml seems like a cool idea: I suppose VSCode kinda supports this idea at the moment with extensions and remote sessions.

"Posteo is an email service provider based in Berlin, Germany, offering paid email accounts for individuals and businesses. The service gained prominence during the aftermath of the post-2013 global surveillance disclosures,[2][3] especially for its high standard security features and relative anonymity as it does not require any private information in the registration process.[2]

Posteo offers support for DNSSEC/DANE and PGP (through Mailvelope in the web interface, which is running Roundcube). Additionally they offer two-factor-authentication via TOTP and use Extended Validation certificates and HPKP for the HTTPS connection.

In 2020, Posteo had approximately 425,000 active mail accounts."

> It doesn't necessarly means that all OOP languages created equal.

Exactly - unless you're trying very hard, you're unlikely to beat C++ polymorphism with your OOP code in a different language. Which makes Casey's argument that much stronger. C++ with its relatively unsophisticated OOP and minimal overhead on everything, is as fast as you're going to get, so it's good for showing just how slow that still is if you follow the Uncle Bob et al. Clean Code tradition.
Polars is less ergonomic than Pandas in my experience for basic data analysis, and has less functionality for time series work. But it's better than Pandas for working with larger datasets and it's now my preferred choice for batch data processing in Python eg in ETL jobs. They both have their own places in the world.

So, as far as swimming safety goes, the bottom line is that you’d probably be ok, as long as you didn’t dive to the bottom or pick up anything strange.

But just to be sure, I got in touch with a friend of mine who works at a research reactor, and asked him what he thought would happen to you if you tried to swim in their radiation containment pool.

“In our reactor?” He thought about it for a moment. “You’d die pretty quickly, before reaching the water, from gunshot wounds.”

I would guess the Canadian government employ people to manage social media for various departments. They may use TikTok, both to view content to understand for research or to post in order to promote their services/role/existance. Similarly I might imagine they have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other apps which facilitate spreading information.
Ahhh. Good old Fourier analysis on the change in model parameters: "low-pass filters that screen out background noise, high-pass filters that help analyze background signals, and Gabor filters that are often used in image processing. The Fourier analysis of the kernels revealed the neural network’s parameters were behaving like a combination of low-pass, high-pass, and Gabor filters."
Agree 100%!

I was quite taken aback by the "Does that logic work for Blacks for instance ?" that started this above but then thought that instead of getting angry why not attempt to get my argumentation straightened out instead :).

As you say, that way of thinking makes women literally into less than even a service: for a service you at least need to pay for; a human right on the other hand (right to live, express yourself, freedom of speech etc) is normatively free. The fact that these women who somehow must sleep with you have rights too doesn't seem to occur to these people at all..

I guess the main advantage of org is Emacs itself - it's infinitely customizable and you can quickly hack automation and workflows. That doesn't exist in anything else as far as I know.

If you just want to get stuff done, then something like Obsidian/Bear is really good. I actually swapped from many years of org-mode/roam to Obsidian myself about 6 months ago. My main reason was mobile integration like you mention. Obsidian sync is actually magic for me, a bit like Dropbox was for files.
i believe the first lockdown was justified, until we understood what that thing was. That is, 2 months in march/april 2020 in europe. All the rest was pure nonsense, and in large parts due to governments getting their inspiration from china.

This article is all over the place and is ultimately the author attempting to validate his opinion, he is just saying "old is better because I like old better than new." Nothing wrong with an old frame but a great deal of the hardware has undeniably improved and much of that new hardware will not mount on an old frame. The real problem with the modern bike market is people following fads and counting grams but they are also the sort of people who keep bike co-ops in operation so I can not really call it a problem, if they want to strip their brand new bike of their 105 or Tiagra groupset and donate it to the co-op than I am all for that, Tiagra and 105 are great and take far better to abuse and neglect than the fancier options. The FSA Mega-Exo crank is another one that people love to donate brand new, they complain about the the BB being expensive and there being no alternatives for its odd spindle size but the only external BBs which I have found that hold up as well are twice the price. The offerings from Wheels Mfg are the only ones which I can call comparable, twice the price up front but the bearings are replaceable and cheap so costs balance out after a decade, but they do not take as well to salty winter streets as the FSA does.

PyO3 is being used to expose the Python bindings to the delta-rs project: https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs

It's a great way to expose Python bindings because it "feels" Pythonic. Most users run pip install deltalake and are completely unaware that the backend is implemented in Rust.

This is quite a different user experience than Python bindings for Java backends exposed via py4j. The py4j interfaces have the Java feel and require Java to be installed, which most Python users don't like.

Any thoughts on this quote from [1]?

> Similarly, Hector Cantú, best known for his Latino-American comic Baldo, said he believes in freedom of speech, but not freedom from repercussions.

> "Don't gloss this over by saying it's politics or it's cancel culture," he said. "If you're going to offend people, you risk paying the price."

Sub-questions:

- Does it matter if the offensive comments are "out of band?" i.e. on a YouTube channel, not in the cartoon?

- Did the various publishers explore other options besides dropping Dilbert altogether? Should they have?

- Media outlets may claim that they are acting morally. Still, to a large degree, they are responding to societal and commercial pressures. Does this weaken their argument?

- Free speech is easy to support when no one cares about what you say. When it strikes a nerve, that's when we have to confront the issue.

- What happens when more content producers use pen names to limit their risk of public backlash?

How many more violations of our freedom do we need to fathom before we realise governments are not an efficient way to structure society?

Every country is just going to drift towards socialism until it collapses, making sure that the bullies with guns can extract as much value out of the population on the way out.

They will take your money and shelter it in some other country poor enough that they still need to offer freedom to attract capital and business.

This is not fixable, democracy is a horrible machine that doesn't stop under the disguise of virtue. Your only options is to move to a freer country before it's too late.
If that works for you, then great. But others do have different requirements to you, and thus it's useful to see someone compare different solutions.

LogRocket integrates within in your product and captures the sessions for the end users.

We are primarily solving within team collaboration for faster debugging. For example - When QA/customer report share issues with developers, instead of sharing the screenshot/har files they can share sessions and developers can use the session recording to get complete picture of the issue and avoid follow up questions.
Of course there are more than that. Look at any comprehensive guide book on edible/foreageable plants and you'll definitely find more than a couple hundreds. For example, the plants for a future database (https://pfaf.org/user/Default.aspx) lists thousands of edible plants that grow in temperate climates. Many plants are edible if only for some parts and many are not particularly tasty and/or need some preparation.

Edit: To answer the question of the composition, the dominant taste comes from Tanacetum balsamita (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanacetum_balsamita).

You made a big jump from note taking to presenting something from a pine book. (And I’m upset by your comment because it’s ignorant.) The article’s author is much further down the rabbit hole than most.

People don’t use org mode because it tickles their brain; I don’t at least. I use it, just to take notes and manage tasks, because nothing else worked. I didn’t start using org mode planning to be a devotee. It was just another iteration of trying a note-taking and time management solution. Noteable other failed approaches include Todoist, an old school paper agenda and notebooks, or an attempt at using the iPhone’s built-in reminders and notes. Finally I’ve stuck with something. It’s a testament to how good org is that it delivered enough value while I was still picking up Emacs (for the purpose of using org) that I stuck with it.

Contrary to your point about org mode getting negative comments from management, my notes and scheduling in an org doc have gotten praise from my managers during Zoom screen shares. It probably only evokes comments because it’s different (as opposed to particularly impressive) but they are definitely positive comments.

Thanks for asking. For me a lot of single-malt scotch, up until around 2000 (maybe later) seemed never to have been completely domesticated as a normal consumer product. Depending on what kind you liked, it could be almost kind of gross. My favorite in the 1990s was Talisker, which had almost a kind of rotting fish flavor. I have literally tried mixing a dash of fish sauce into today's Talisker to recover that. (Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work.)

Talisker now is a bit fiery, maybe very slightly reminiscent of the sea, and otherwise unobjectionable. It doesn't have what I need. I wish them well, but either my taste has changed or theirs has.

We have that feature at our company through an employee review SaaS we use called Lattice. Our #praise channel works the same way and it has definitely been a nice surprise. It is really nice to be reminded of all the feedback at review time.

Maybe other similar employee review systems have a Slack integration you can turn on - it sounds like maybe it is a common feature now.

Sturgeon's Law informs these numbers: 1 of every 10 "downloads" is actually initiated by a volitional being, the rest are scripted activity. Of those, there's another 1 in 10 cull: very few have immediate need for your code, but are instead socking it away to look at later.

Then you winnow out those who needed something different than your code prvided, those who needed what your package does, but couldn't make it work in their circumstance, those for whom it worked perfectly but they didn't feel moved to make a comment or leave a star, and so on.

I agree. The Rust foundation (or Mozilla's Rust Team in the early stages) tried out a sigil heavy approach in the beginning, but they ultimately made the decision to steer Rust away from being overloaded with single character keywords of differing significance.

Sadly, with Steve Klabnik's withdrawal from the core Team, the current maintainers are on a path to repeat these mistakes.
Keeping your fingers on the home row for basic navigation sounds pretty nice. It's not Stockholm syndrome, it's muscle memory.
So, I completely understand that gov's are concerned about an application on gov. devices being used to profile their staff. There's been plenty written about profiling people based on app. usage.

The bit that somewhat surprises me is the focus on TikTok, other apps are (AFAIK) capable of the exact same thing. Is the expectation that TikTok is the only app that the Chinese government have access to? this seems a bit unlikely.

And of course this doesn't touch on the companies that provide ad networks and other services to mobile applications, who have the ability to pull info from multiple apps at the same time, I've not seen any movement on banning those similarly.
Hah. That’s a good one.

It’s an interesting situation I find myself in more often than I wish: someone has become fairly deplorable but I still like their earlier work. Adams, Roiland, Rowling, Louis C.K. etc.
