As a PDM enthusiast for quite a while, I'm sorry to inform you that PEP 582 has been officially abandoned (which doesn't mean that it won't be revived someday, just not so easily).

I think I’ve only heard of such a component referred to as a matching engine.
I developed a simple read-later app called Readstack to tackle this problem. The idea is that it forces you to go through pages one-by-one, without postponing. So, if you want to read something, you will have one item on the top of the list, and you need to read it or remove it before you can go to the following items. It helped me reduce my read-later pule to zero.

Oh good lord, I have so many files spread across a dozen drive accounts. It's free storage, I'm going to use it.
That is a great project!

Do you plan to enhance the UI, for example to be able to filter by other data, like zoom or weight?

Or are you more interested in the data and prefer others to build other websites on top of them?
> The reason that Google has such a high hiring bar is that most of its processes run open-loop and it relies on having smart thorough people to prevent the large swath of issues from being created in the first place.

But there is a large swath of issues. Just look at Google's public bug trackers.

And Google's atrocious practice of auto-closing old bug reports partially covers up how many issues there really are.
Then why doesn't Google use their standard solution and just ban those vanishingly few users, pointing to an ambiguous "terms of service violation" and then ignoring all their support requests for a lifetime?
Yeah that was my point and sure enough the thread dives deeper and deeper into different elements you have to control.

If we somehow changed the rules so that Mc Donald and Starbucks were illegal, we would not end up with local artisinal coffeeshops on every corner, we would likely have a lot fewer places to get good coffee.
I use Google Workspaces at work, and I have configured my notebook more like a netbook. Every possible file and folder gets stashed in Drive, and the agent runs to integrate with the Windows filesystem. This is especially important for Company Data and Confidential Materials.

I have modest storage needs in my role, but imagine a developer, Big Data user, or video editor used it. As long as they could tolerate the latencies, they might stash quite a bit in there.
The password seems to be "malte". The executable is completely unobfuscated .NET, and all you need for "reverse engineering" is ILSpy or DotPeek.

public static void ExtractFile(string apbx, string file, string targetDir, bool recursive = false)
{
if (recursive)
APBX.RunCommand("x \"" + file + "\" -o\"" + targetDir + "\" -p\"malte\" -y -r");
else
APBX.RunCommand("x \"" + apbx + "\" -o\"" + targetDir + "\" -p\"malte\" \"" + file + "\" -y -r-");
}

public static void ExtractArchive(string apbx, string targetDir, string exclude = null)
{
if (exclude != null)
APBX.RunCommand("x \"" + apbx + "\" -o\"" + targetDir + "\" -p\"malte\" -x!\"" + exclude + "\" -y");
else
APBX.RunCommand("x \"" + apbx + "\" -o\"" + targetDir + "\" -p\"malte\" -y");
}

> The question I'm asking myself is. Why should I read your CV when you didn't bother skimming through my landing page, docs, or open source repository.

This can easily be turned around: why should an applicant spend time looking at the landing page or docs, when in all likelihood her application will not be read, and will be filtered out by an HR person who doesn't understand the work and whose only job is to reject the maximum amount of incoming people so that the pipe doesn't get clogged?

It'd be ineffective for someone looking for a job to spend any significant amount of time on any given job ad.

Job hunting is like dating. It's a numbers game.

And it doesn't rely on anyone's true qualities, but on how the other party perceives those qualities. You have to make the other party desire you, either because they want to be with you, or because they convince themselves that you will make them look good.
I want to try providing ChatGPT with a plug-in to itself (+ whatever utility plugins, + a plug-in to create plugins), so that it can delegate sub tasks to chat sessions primed with context that it decides.

I think a lot of the issues people have interacting with ChatGPT stem from overloading the context, and having a tree of specialised contexts recursively building on each other would I think focus each context while providing for broad and deep exploration of the top level request

I don't sync folders. I mount my accounts as network drives.

As for corruption or overwriting files, I have rarely encountered issues, but Drive has file revision histories as well as a Trash can, so if you notice the problem and it's not spread over 5M files, you can roll back to last-known-good versions.

I would definitely love a techy community that focused on technology like the hackernews of 10 years ago. If you know of one then please link me to it.
A plain follow stream is a firehose of mundane messages: everyone you followed's messages, sorted by most recent first.

If some people you follow are more important than others (family) that doesn't matter to the stream, and you get bogged down by less important messages.

I think some "algorithm" is necessary, but people will disagree on the balance. (It's unfortunately in twitter's interest to push all kinds of random shallow stuff and get people addicted to that.) I hope mastodon can maybe provide some flexibility and customizability in terms of what the mix between recent and likely to be interesting should be, and what interesting means to you.

Not that I use twitter much, but since it became clear that Elon made sure to promote himself in the algorithmic feeds, I've avoided "For you" anyway since I don't accept that in my mix of messages.

From what I understand of upthread, it doesn't "give elon musk's tweets a boost", rather any change which downgrades musk's visibility is considered a regression.

Obviously the end result is similarly that musk's visibility can never decrease, but it's a more technical (and to the letter) compliance with the specifications.
For over 10 years they did nothing to people who bought these kind of things with Paypal, police going after booter users is a fairly recent thing that started in the UK.
I don't think that proves anything. If we had "JavaLisp" in the browser instead of JavaScript then Lisp would be very popular. Besides that, Python is harder to manipulate than many non-Lisps, such as JavaScript and Go.

The argument about age is that you need to be of a certain age to make these decisions. Not because you shouldn't have the right, but rather because you don't have the facilities yet to "rule yourself and others". And the cutoff point is arbitrary.

The museum in Hiroshima specifically notes that the claim that America notified people in Hiroshima before dropping the bomb was 100% fiction. Nobody expected the United States to specifically target tens of thousands of innocent civilians instead of military targets in a single sweep.

Papers were dropped across the entire country warning Japan to give up. But that’s like Russia warning the entirety of Ukraine that they’re going to destroy them then acting like nuking Kiev is justified because civilians had fair warning.

It’s not hard to even find the papers online that were dropped, but there’s a lot of revisionism online that actively defends nuking civilian targets these days. Mentioning the fact the warning claim isn’t accurate gets immediate downvotes and angry comments everywhere online. Even Wikipedia specifically mentions Hiroshima wasn’t listed, and the papers are publicly available and mention only cities that aren’t Hiroshima, so I’m not sure why people get outraged.

“Died by suicide” is the current closest-thing-to-a-consensus that the ‘respect via language policing’ people that actually work in mental health have come up with.

8 years of no upgrades is not the norm for desktop or laptop linux machines. Old hardware is still supported on newer versions, and you can have an equivalent desktop experience on it today as in 2015, so there's no reason to not upgrade.

Windows folks don't upgrade because upgrades change a lot, newer os is unsupported on older hardware, and/or newer versions have become extremely user hostile.

Completely agreed on Dune. Part of it is the barren production design, but the cinematography is drab and ugly as well. Compare and contrast with Villeneuve’s beautiful Blade Runner 2049 shot by Roger Deakins. The difference is night and (murky) day.
If you for example consider a typical company security policy this is 100% less secure considering any vulnerabilities in windows itself minus the the attack surface of the different telemetry systems that have been disabled.

If you care not to report your usage to Microsoft or any agency that Microsoft would need to release data to this is 100% 'secure'.

Security has become the main argument for unwanted ongoing spying and patronising by OS vendors. Look at Google play services and/or safety net. It is like trust us or we render your system unusable it insecure. This amounts to blackmailing IMHO and regulators need to step in.
> But you're still working for a living, and can't retain a fancy lifestyle if you stop.

Personally, I’d say if you are a wage slave like me regardless of how much you earn, we can’t afford to have any children.

I can’t say you have not been warned. The signs have been there all along. Remember how much trouble HRC go in for just the title of the book, it takes a village. It is not your responsibility alone to make sure you have happy, healthy children who will become productive members of society later.

If you have zero income as soon as you stop working and waste your money on private school for your kids, I say it is in the same category as buying a yacht and a jet ski. Just incredibly dumb things you can’t afford. Can you imagine how much pain you will cause if you need to withdraw your kids from school if you have a stroke? Ffs stop sending kids to private schools!

We and our parents are getting older every day. How will we pay for our and our parents’ health care cost? I don’t have the courage to say just pull the plug if something happens to me and my end of life care costs more than USD 200k.

Don’t worry about the bigger picture of who will take care of society when we are older. Screw this society. In any case, can you really trust your kids to take care of you when you are old if you don’t have any savings of your own?
What’s wrong with Wikipedia? It’s probably one of the best things that came out of the internet.
NAND cell modes: SLC 1-bit per cell, MLC 2-bit, TLC 3-bit, QLC 4-bit.

And those cell modes are usually determined by the firmware/hardware controller of the NAND memory.

The more bits stored per cell, the greater is the degradation. SLC-mode requires in average 2.2 times more erase cycles than MLC to achieve the same error rate [1].

So the differences in prices make it look as if some manufacturers are playing with us...

PS: QLC-mode is the worst in all terms, the highest degradation and lower speed.

You have a limited view of 'urban living'. Want a front yard, back yard, and garage (attached to a laneway)? Plenty of that was built pre-WW2, and there's no reason why it couldn't be again:

I'm not sure that such a path of least resistance will necessarily be obvious from the outside.

Likewise, I'm not sure that (from the audience's perspective) one can so easily infer simple and exact reasons for why an adaptation differs from the source material.

I'm sure many of the people hired to work on a film, adaptation or otherwise, do want to have an impact on the production, or 'leave a mark'. Deviating from the source material might even be the path of least resistance.
Playable is good enough. It may have small text, keyboard only references in text, or other minor annoyances but a playable game does work on deck. On desktop or laptop linux for many of them you may not notice any issues at all.

In my experience, the article is off base thanks to a fundamentally flawed premise: misuse of resumes by bad companies means don't use it for good companies.

On the contrary, good roles need a good resume (CV) process to cast a wide enough net to find great teammates.

1. The idealistic teenager version of this does exit: at companies that value craft and domain know-how.

2. The ratio is not 10 delusional to 40 qualified, the ratio is 40 delusional to 10 qualified, maybe. (I've reviewed 5 figures of resumes.)

3. A bad company has unqualified screeners, in a disinterested department, as described in the blog. That's indeed terrible. Don't apply there!!!

4. A good company, screening is performed by people with mastery of the area, well qualified to pattern match resumes to the performers on their team. You can often tell from the job descriptions (or your network) when this is true.

5. Bad filter is as described in the article, while a good filter puts all plausible resumes through, regardless of any nonsense in the job description like "8 years of ChatGPT prompt crafting experience required" or "Masters required".

5. In good company, plausibles are given to the tech or team leads hiring who are interested in finding candidates with standout value adds, these generally are not on resumes.

6. This is done not by bullet match for "did this precise thing before" (the rubric from non-domain aka contentless managers) but by understanding candidate attributes (e.g. an attribute to learn new domains quickly) and is tetris-ing a well qualified cloverleaf of attributes for evolving solutions in the problem space -- and being able to see these attributes between the lines of how a dry resume is written.

. . .

Finally, most importantly, the candidate is not making a resume for the company, but for themselves.

As a craftsperson in a domain, it's worth "curating" your CV. CV stands for curriculum vitae which in Latin means "course of life".

From apprentice, through journeyman, to mastery, there is a roadmap, and the as-yet-unwritten portions of the CV are more important than those on the page.

By writing this down for yourself ahead of time, you can chart a course that lands you where you intend, or keeps you on a path you find rewarding. Diff yourself against that path, making intentional corrections as you go.

While at a job, journal the outcomes you delivered for the team, and the company, that made a difference. When you've gathered all the power-ups you need, crystallize them onto the CV, and start your own pattern-matching against the next role on your roadmap. When you find a role (internal or external), go for it.

When you manage yourself proactively this way, and apply to roles at companies that value craft, you're not working for the resume process, the CV process works for you.

I think your comment misses the point a bit.

Sure, you might spend time on instituting complicated certificates and warnings. Of this you are of coure entirely correct. Except it's a lot harder to do right for many-to-many e-mail correspondences, that go through a multitude of different recipients and servers – some of which don’t use encryption at all – compared to the one-to-one browser communication, that goes directly to the end recipient, and stops there.

At that point the notion of “one-to-one encryption for e-mail” becomes completely meaningless, because it’s almost never actually one-to-one. The e-mail is frighteningly often sent to some intermediary party, inside or outside your organization, who you do not have any control over, and who will then forward that e-mail – encrypted or not – to the actual end recipient. What that means, is that no matter the amount of encryption schemes you throw onto an e-mail, the likelihood of a leak is still very high. And while undetermined or opportunistic third parties might not gain access to such a correspondence, a determined organization or state actor surely will.

As such, more encryption does not inherently make e-mail more secure. Especially when you know that there are multiple parties handling any given correspondence, with multiple clients and multiple servers – some of which do not use any form of encryption at all. You can never be sure that some user might simply forward the e-mail unencrypted – for whatever reason – down the chain of correspondence. For that reason, e-mail is inherently insecure and non-confidential, and it should be treated as such even if you strongly encrypt your own messages.

In fact, encrypting e-mail might lull you into a false sense of security, because the second that e-mail leaves your client, then the fate of that message is also completely outside of your control.

In order to fix this problem, you essentially need to create an entirely new e-mail system world-wide, with an entirely new protocol. Mozilla simply does not have that capability on its own, though motions to increase e-mail security is of course laudable.

It's literally the WW2 airplane hit patterns image. Criminals who get caught are the ones making the kinds of mistakes that make it easier to catch them.

Organized crime also does a lot of "dumb" stuff but they do it at scale and make it harder to trace back the individual incident to the organization's core. They also heavily rely on disposable accomplices, which is why you still see these "make money doing nothing from home, just let us use your bank account" scams.
