Phones being 64 or 128GB and no SD card is same level absurdity. What a shitty act. Given how cheap SD cards are it's just such a misservice.

It's indeed getting harder because some phones are literally now eSIM only. Before, there was near no excuse. My last phone's sim caddy had a SSD caddy on the other side, which just takes up so little extra volume & requires so little extra design/features.

A therapist?! Good lord. Call me old fashioned but everything you've described, I would normally expect to be the responsibility of a line manager. If you need a therapist to extract that information then doesn't that indicate a dysfunctional relationship? Why can't a manager just sit down and chat with an employee about what they're looking for, like two adults diacussing someone's career aspirations? Why does it require weekly therapy sessions unless something is badly wrong?

I challenge you to audit all dependencies and, particularly, the sub-dependencies of those. Most people, in my experience, look at a requirements.txt or package.json and think that’s everything but your dependency tree is going to be easily 3-4x that size.

Node.js is particularly notorious for this. It’s a big challenge for having non-flat dependency management and there’s no great solution for this problem.
> The old reason for driving a smaller car/truck

depending where you live the main reason was and still is fitting in the streets and finding parking spots.

I mean sure large parts of the US are designed not only car centric but also with not only focus on large cars but even wants to make driving them extra easy. But that's not at all the case in the EU. Like there are many places with streets where driving a large US cars is troublesome or outright impossible and parking spots are all the time at least slightly too small for many US cars. Similar there are many place with no or very limited dedicated parking ares, mainly at the side of the street and the larger your car the more spots you will not fit in or fit in but it's hard to enter them without touching surrounding cars or similar.

> largely disappears for electric vehicles

which many people still don't want, because if you don't have your own parking spot (very common in the EU) then charging gets much more complicated

> In fact, electric vehicles are larger/heavier than ic equivalents.

Heavier yes, but there are small and compact EVs, through often with quite limited reach and mainly advertised to/sold in countries with a lot of small streets.
> people are prohibited from bringing many goods through security

That's true, but sandwiches are not among them.

However it is possible to work out how a hyperdimensional ... thingie "works" because of the way it is built and that is a powerful thing. ChatGPT n that are a bunch of weights and who knows what that actually means. No doubt we will have more stuff and frankenAI and who knows what else but it will be exciting.

if it is just encoding/decoding ffmpeg can go entirely from stdin to stdout IIRC, provided formats support it. So for example it won't work for mp4 output as it needs to seek to write some headers (again, IIRC) when saving it.
> The airport is trying to insist it's preventing jacked-up prices, when in reality it's the airport charging rent that generates those jacked-up prices in the first place, and it tries to pretend like it plays no part.

But that's correct. The rent charged by the airport has no impact on prices inside the airport. They are high because of the captive audience.

Store revenue within the airport is determined by customer willingness to pay. Willingness to pay does not take store rent into account; it is a function of prices and alternatives. So the stores set prices at the level that maximizes revenue, and the rent charged by the airport is a fight between the stores and the airport over who gets how much of the revenue. If you limited the amount of rent the airport could charge, the first-order effect would be that prices would stay exactly the same, the airport would get less money, every store would get more money, and customers would be completely unaffected.

If you wanted to return money to the customers, you'd need to increase the level of competition between stores.

So if it’s “themed” to look “native”, what happens when the vendor chooses to change the theme of the native widgets? Do the themed widgets automatically support the user’s localization and internationalization preferences? Does it support the accessibility affordances that you could get for free when you use the native toolkit?

> Apple can make first party applications that abide exclusively by their HIG, and the same with Microsoft, but asking vendors targetting multiple platforms to do so and essentially support multiple versions of their apps to achieve "true native" when "seemingly" or "close-to" native via the toolkits widgets, built in theming capabilities, and backend abstractions are available can be a bit of a tall ask.

And could that be part of the reason that Microsoft and Adobe - both with a multi decade history of writing cross platform apps that use the native frameworks of the target platform are really the only two software companies that are really still successful making desktop consumer/prosumer software?

It's sad that there aren't any alternatives to ffmpeg. It could have been a mutually beneficial relationship if they dropped the antagonism and uncooperative behaviors. Instead they just essentially killed libav.
Hi, my name is Werner Brandes. My voice is my passport. Verify Me.
I'm a heavy user of type hints and enable pyright and mypy's strict modes whenever possible. However, you can't always be strict: if you use almost any package in the data science/ML ecosystem, you're unlikely to get good type inference and checking[1]. In those cases, it can still be useful to type some parameters and return values to benefit from _some_ checking, even if you don't have 100% coverage.

Type hints also bring improved completion, which is nice too.

[1] For example, huggingface's transformers library decided to drop support for full type checking because it was unsustainable but decided to keep the types for documentation[2]. There are stubs for pandas, but they're not enough because pandas has a tendency to change return types based on the input, and that breaks quickly.

The two main protections are requiring multiple signoffs (for landing code) and requiring proof of physical presence (for various things, including any sort of access to prod). Having code exec on a large number of systems means the first is weakened significantly, and the strength of the second really depends to an extent on how much effort and patience the attacker is willing to put in (eg, alias a command that requires gnubby press to something under your control, use the press to do whatever you want, then trigger the real command - user ends up being prompted twice, but how many people would actually flag that as a security concern?). Someone with no understanding of how things work in Google would probably screw up in a way that got them noticed pretty quickly, but a well-skilled adversary who's not looking for a quick win could definitely circumvent many controls if they had code exec on a decent number of systems.

tl;dr - if I were still gLinux security, I might not be freaking out about this, but it would definitely fall into the set of stuff I'd be making space for in next quarter's OKRs.
If you're interested in listening to more ATC stuff, LiveATC[0] is a pretty good service for listening in while at airports or on a plane (or just while sitting around). I use it when traveling for fun, and it works really well! (The only issue is figuring out what frequency your aircraft is on)

NVMe has been the predominant standard for SSDs for several years now. Even USB "portable SSDs" are almost exclusively using NVMe drives internally now rather than being built around SATA SSDs or SSD controllers that natively speak USB (which is the low-end solution used for thumb drives).
Not surprising. SUVs are larger and heavier vehicles so they carry more KE at the same speed. My city has dedicated cycling lanes but they don't cover every place. I sincerely hope they do.

To some degree, crime is just basic supply and demand. There's a certain amount of demand for crime, driven by loose security, lax enforcement, and easy outlets for stolen goods (who do you think is stocking the cheap deodorant on Amazon?). You aren't going to be able to fight those economic incentives with something like UBI.

I would be curious to compare to the 90s though. I remember when I was younger, I'd sometimes just go to the airport back when you could just walk out to the gates, grab a snack and then watch the planes take off and land.

Obviously that's not a "normal" thing to have done, but in a world with lighter security, I remember airport food being around the same level as mall food court options, so it was an interesting option for getting out of the house. I'd be curious if there's some lower-security path towards making Airports more of a common space, not that there's any chance of it happening.
Other people will step up to fill the void. As long as the costs of crime are low and the rewards are high, people will do it.

It was a comment on a message board, not a comprehensive guide. I wasn't trying to be fully prescriptive - I was summarising and assuming some interpretation on the part of the reader.

As a line manager, ask your employees what they're looking for and provide an environment where they trust you enough to be honest. Then have an adult discussion about the feasibility of delivering what they want and whether some compromise is in order - 'more ponies' is not possible, 'more money' might engender more responsibility, 'more flexible working hours' can easily be accommodated, for example. If doing this effectively requires a therapist then perhaps the organisation should focus on coaching the managers, not the workers.
Privacy works by purchasing blocks of prepaid cards and issuing them on demand. So while your bank is linked to the card, the issues cards are not linked to your identity. With privacy, you can use any name and address you like and it will be validated. They use the card number, the CVV and the expiration as the only means of validation.

So this means I can say my name is Fake Customer and I live at 404 Main St, 95111 and it will validate just fine.

This is the same as if you purchased a prepaid visa gift card.
A less than adequate "taste test" in my opinion.

An adequate test would keep the brands secret. Ask each taster to pick their favorite. Then ask them to repeat the test to see if the results are the same.
