HFS wasn't great about the compression. You got 0-size files with some extra attributes, which is not always usable. APFS is actually an improvement here - mainly because apps do not need to know about resource forks.
I can count on 1 hand the number of reasons I might need to do that and on each occasion there’s usually a better approach.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting the GPs approach is “optimal”. But if you’ve gone to the trouble of setting that up then you should have already solved the problems of data sharing (mitigating the need for rsync), network segregation and secure access (negating the need for jump boxes), etc.

SSH is a fantastic tool but mature enterprise systems should have more robust solutions in place (and with more detailed audit logs than an rsync connection would produce) by the time you’re looking at using AD as your server auth.
This might make people put more unnecessary regexes into code, because AI. Beware.

> Bloated

As much as I hate teams - it's not that bad regarding bloat.

Slack web app right now is using 1gb (safari), 230 mb (brave) and 150 mb (brave).

Teams web app is using 600mb (brave).

Overall UX is horrible - can't easily insert image or code snippet, there are multiple people under same name in search that you can't reach for some reason. I was impressed by some features like meeting transcription - seemed to work flawlessly.
OK, but if all MTurks are doing this (because why wouldn't they) then you are just sampling a random variable.
There's also what they're being fed, which apparently is mostly soy and corn... and require a lot of land, water (and chemicals) at this scale. As far as I understand, it'd be much more efficient to grow calories and proteins that we can directly consume instead.
I can bring up JPMCD5 page but the data is flat from 22/11/22 until 24/03/23 and then a single data point for 28/03/23 with a -17.94% drop. So something fishy must be going on to hide the data for the period.
I guess the issue is that if you copy files between 2 systems, one which does normalization and one which doesn't. Best would be if everyone did normalization, but that ship has sailed :(
In my compiler I loosely coerce comptime_int's to int's if needed by subsequent API's.
You also need to expand or truncate it's size on demand. E.g. C compilers do that.

Yes, the Spotlight search in OSX is somewhat limited so tools like Alfred and Raycast are often used to make the search more fine-tuned to your needs (like being able to search through browser bookmarks and launch them easily) but also enable custom scripting

> Hardly anything the IPCC says seems to translate into policy.

Following their reports multiple countries have adopted measures directly citing those reports, with targets based on those reports.

Not been my experience but I guess it depends a lot on what you mean by proficiency. Also depends where you are and who you talk to. In the Nordics I never encountered a young person who wasn't nearly fluent in English. In bigger countries like Germany you can easily find people who don't speak English but they tend to themselves be immigrants and e.g. working in shops. Germans themselves learn it in school and do better.
In the background of uncertainty I wouldn't restrict this as directional at all. Also not if you extrapolate past behavior of intelligence agencies and incentives to collect data. The agency probably isn't evil, but the point is that such ambitions grow and corrupt and that such data should be protected. So the extend of the access isn't even of primary concern, but there is much to suggest it extends a "shitty web portal".

I generally agree (and think stock buybacks are just better because they let investors time their tax realizations), but I'll point out that the way dividends are reported makes it more public when a company is not reinvesting in growth. Perhaps stock buybacks should be reported as prominently as dividends, rather than buried in cash flow statements.

There are better ways to access remote servers than using a jump box. If you’ve gone to the lengths to tie SSH auth into a web based SSO then you should have at least set up you’re other infra to manage network access already (since that’s a far bigger security concern).

Plus, as others have said, you can jump through SSH sessions with on the client ssh command (ie without having to manually invoke ssh on the jump box).

Red Hat 30th anniversary
It's not exactly the same thing, but Windows used to have a thumb.db to store, well, thumbnails, in each folder that has thumbnail-able files.

I hated it, most of people hated it. MS finally got rid of it (in Vista or 7) and store thumbnails in a centralized place.

However, I now start to miss it.

I store lots of large image files (think 1200 dpi PNG scans) on my computer, and it took Windows years to create thumbnail for them, while locking the entire hard disk (and sometimes the whole explorer.exe) in the meantime. This process, while obviously is much slower on spinning HDD, it surprisingly isn't really that fast on NVME SSD, either.

This would be fine if it's a one-time process, but unfortunately the aforementioned centralized thumbnail cache either have an expiration time, or have a size limit (or both), so the reality is if I didn't visit a folder for awhile, its thumbnails are all gone, so they have to be generated again, make the explorer unresponsive for some time again.

I have been annoyed by this for long time but I don't have any solution. The best workaround is to only view such folders in list/detail mode, and rely on 3rd party image manager (I use XnView) to show the preview/thumbnail -- which has a much faster thumbnailing speed and more robust thumbnail cache management.

There's a smart side to this, and a lot of people take it: Buy a car that has all the features you want, for almost half the price. Buy a house in a neighborhood that's run-down but improving and that you can help to improve. You don't have to be famous on social media to be a "thought leader" and increase the value of your assets by pulling gullible people into your aesthetics or way of thinking.

You can just show up and buy the thing and use your skills to improve the thing, which improves everything else around it.

There is enormous financial leverage if you can do that, because most people aren't willing to put in the work.
When it came out on Mac, I had a Mac Mini with a tiny internal drive (120 gigs). I tried to make an APFS Fusion drive where I fused the internal plus a fast USB-attached thumbdrive together. That seemed to work but would then fail upon reboot, because macOS would renumber devices and then couldn't find the drive.

Under Linux, you can simply assign /dev/sdX to a particular drive, just create an udev rule. Under macOS, that's impossible to my knowledge.
His sons did turn him in - your own comment says as much. The public evidence suggests they turned him in as soon as they learnt of it. The case has not been made that the sons were complicit, they should be presumed innocence. That other people were jailed, or that they are now dead - all that is irrelevant to the sons' guilt. Neither son was even charged.

Eh, wait. Maybe for comments and strings, but we, the non-ASCII language users such as Spanish, avoided to put ñ's and accented chars as _code_ almost as a religious dogma.

Tildes in Spanish are just used to mark the stressed syllabe when it's outside the stressing rules, and the diaeresis it's to make the 'u' non silent in gue/gui/que/qui. So if we read "funcion" without being written "función", don't worry, we aren't writting a literary test, it's code.

I'd hate to debug code written in Chinese instead of English, even if English it's a language I just use in academical and technical environments (and some nerdy games translated from Japanese or classical retro games from Unix workstations, playing either Trek or Slashem it's not reading Oscar Wilde or Shakespeare). And Golang allows that I think, and lots of languages too.

Not perfect, but after that it's easy to tweak it the old-fashioned way.

I am not talking about GPT and LLM models. I have no opinion on those. I have an opinion on art because it's something I know intimately.
Art is a form of expression available to all, it's not just art for business or commission. That only the business side of art is being discussed is ignoring what art actually means. Not everything is business, and I loathe "time is money" kinda worldviews, honestly.

I'm already able to create excellent models of any subject I desire in 15-45 minutes, with remarkable quality aside from bad hands, and usable forever once trained, then how come I'm still drawing? (more than usual, in fact)

Understand that and you'll understand my argument.

Less than six months ago I found this same site and I was practicing religiously multiple times a day. Several weeks ago I interrupted my practice for one reason or another and last time I tried my score had dropped to below 40%. I need to start practicing again.

I haven't learned the full alphabet yet. I'm still missing letters q, g, h, z, x,c, v and all the digits.

Something I've found interesting is how much difference it made changing the tone frequency. My brain definitely got used to a certain tone initially, and when I first tried changing the tone my recognition ability dropped quite a bit. So now I change it occasionally to keep my brain on its proverbial toes.

I wish there was a way to practice just the letters I have more difficulty with; namely, the ones which were added later.

> Speech recognition - Siri still have major issues undestanding me.

Have you tried OpenAI Whisper, especially with its "large" model? Siri and Youtube shouldn't be the yard sticks to judge the entire field, they both have unique hardware constraints and they're far from the state of the art.
They're useful when traveling for work. Not because they can find you better deals (they rarely do), but because they can save you time. You can book a flight, train, hotel and even tickets to the game/show you want to take a customer to with a single call and get all costs on a single invoice sent in the correct format, to the correct address with the correct fields filled in for the invoicing system. There is also a single 24 hour phone number to call if things go wrong where you can instantly talk to someone who can sort out whatever the problem is.

But as I said, none of this involves actually saving money

> they’ve had several leaks now where people can see others’ conversations and data

Do you have a source for this? I know some people have claimed to see others' data, but I haven't seen any evidence that that's what's actually being seen, vs LLM hallucinations. OpenAI claims, and I can't imagine they're lying, that the training data is fixed and ends in 2021, so I don't see how it would be possible for user prompts to be leaking into output, absent a massive and very unlikely bug (compared to the much more likely AI hallucination explanation).

>In one sense, sure, 90's is the present (consumer tech has been around for let's say 50 years), but in the context of computers the 90;s is the distant past.

As a side note, well, if you're like max 30-ish, it might be.

If you're like 40-50, 90s is within livable memory, and has been formative in later developments. It's not like it's some ancient history where it's no longer relevant. In IT terms that might be, say Algol (where it's only an influencial ancestor, but no longer used or relevant itself) or Bell Labs (which is only something that used to be a major innovation hub but hasn't been since forever).

When it comes to the 90s, many of the active players (from Microsoft and Apple, to Oracle and Amazon), many tech moves and events of the era, and of course tons of technologies developed then (from the Web to Java and Linux) are very active still.
