I appreciate your reply and advice.

I am not completely opposed to medication, for I am already medicated for ADHD, which like most substances, has diminishing returns the longer one uses it. Treatment has never really worked great for me, and I do not have hopes for anything else psychiatry has to offer at this point. I tried some kind of SNRI prior to ADHD treatment, and I swore I would never touch anything S*RI ever again.

If anything, I think I would benefit from a change in environments. A new job, new hobbies, etc.. It's just so difficult trying to do anything to better myself. I've tried exercising, hell there is a gym walking distance from me, and I cannot seem to maintain any kind of routine.

Needing validation is probably spot on. I think a lot of it stems from growing up with untreated ADHD. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 22 to put things into perspective. My whole life I have had to second-guess everything I did because I learned I could not trust myself to do things correctly. That and the treatment from others basically eroded all sense of self-esteem I ever had.
Working in the oil field in remote parts of the Arctic was decidedly the closest to living on a space colony that I’ll ever get and it was awesome. I miss that environment and the work very much.
Totally agree.

I think it's related to the "Suspension of disbelief" theory, where audiences are Ok with things that are not realistic as long as they make sense in that universe.

But it's like an uncanny valley, where the more realistic you try to be, the more critical the audience will be, and less likely are to turn off that disbelief contract between audience and authors.

A good example would be the Midichlorians thing. Trying to make magic more scientific and realistic ironically makes it less believable to the audience.

>-Ofast, -ffast-math and -funsafe-math-optimizations will no longer add startup code to alter the floating-point environment when producing a shared object with -shared.

Well, that's a relief. Definitely won't fix anything already built, but it's a nice step in the right direction. The idea of finding out that a shared library is breaking unrelated code is a scary proposition.
C was started 50 years ago, and we don't have a definitive solution to GUIs there either. I'm not sure what your point is.

Author here! I've added it to my TODO list and will update the article at some point coming week or two. Love how the library looks like - thank you for the link!
The most useful CS topic I know of is object indirection - aka pointers (and pointers to pointers)

Once you realize that everything is stored at an address (or group of addresses) "somewhere", your life gets much easier :)

Whether it's memory addresses for a linked list, inodes for [local] file storage, or an IP address for a network resource, they're all "the same" in the sense of "this thing can be found by going to that place"

The world wide web is just a complex linked list/graph with loops

But if you don't grok address/reference indirection, your life is much harder
The original was filmed in 1.33:1 then cropped down to 4:3.

For the streaming platforms, they chose to crop it the other way:

https://i.imgur.io/sbdIoxd_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&f...

IMO they should just split the difference and stream the full original 1.33:1 with (smaller) black bars.
The John Wick sequels lack the restraint that made the original so enjoyable.
Siri is mostly useless. It works about half the time for me. When I ask it to do a task like create a timer, it works, but asking it questions is almost useless. One time I asked "What is a picometer?" and it gave an answer from Wikipedia, but then I immediately asked "What is a femtometer?" and it said it couldn't answer it on the iPhone. My wife gets amused whenever I use Siri because half the time I'll start swearing in frustration at how stupid it is, and yet like Charlie Brown and Lucy, I keep trying to kick that football.

You aren't cynical enough. This incentive structure is what keeps us employed and our salaries going up and you should encourage it (assuming you're a laborer). If companies weren't doing this they'd hire to build a product with a minimal feature set and then layoff at a much larger rate once it was done.

In other words, encourage this mindset wherever possible, it's going to be what causes the next wave and spike in demand for SWEs.
It's far better that AccessKit exist than that it not.

That being said, yeah, there are people in this very comment section saying that of course egui is accessible, it supports AccessKit. So it's not really theoretical, any attempt to close the gap with AccessKit is going to be used by people as an excuse to build inaccessible applications. That's already happening in this comment section right now.

But that doesn't mean that AccessKit shouldn't exist it's just... one of the downsides to reducing the number of entirely inaccessible apps. It's a partial fix for a bad situation, and it's good for devs to use it if they have to, but it's far better for devs not to need to use it.
Finally someone who understands.

The benefits of 5G have nothing to do with your cellphone service and everything to do with enabling connected infrastructure that could not be done with LTE.
> When you only care about one thing, nothing else matters.

Which counts as contempt in my book. Contempt means "The feeling or attitude of regarding someone or something as inferior, base, or worthless; scorn." Caring more about your revenue stream than your customers is regarding your customers as inferior to your revenue stream.

As a dev myself, do you think the difference between DDR4 and DDR5 is actually noticeable? That was mainly my justification for going DDR5 -- not gaming -- but I could step down to DDR4 if the the difference is insignificant.
Can tell they downgraded the long range microphones somewhere between iPhone 4 and 7, might be even worse in later models because it really struggles to pick up you shouting across the room at it when it used to work pretty well on the 4.

Then again the only thing I've used it for since launch is setting timers, rarely gets that right these days.
I had the wrong path for the demo file. It ought to work now.

They definitely are but I can understand why they don't want to be bothered supporting something like that. Plus I think the time to be starting that was about a decade ago...

I really like reading books, non-fiction, fiction, business, everything. But I always tended to have good reading momentum and then life/work happened that derailed the reading habit - and I forgot about it. Took months to pick up again...

To keep reading top of mind I built a Chrome "newtab" extension to show my "Currently Reading" list, and excites me about books I've put as "to-read". It has worked wonders on my reading! And it is pretty small and polished - no tracking, no credentials, just bare-bones.

I did that for my mother.

She lost it anyway. TWICE.

As for bio-metrics they are not possible on all devices, and some software will require you to enter the master password once in a while even if it's activated.

But even if it was not the case, if you loose your device, you need to setup the new one, and for that, you need the master password or have backups.

Back to square one.
well to those of us, not using iPhone it is*

And to be honest, most of the files I sync, I never access on a phone anyway. So it would still be useful even without Android support.

Not sure how common my setup is, But I have desktop both at home and at work. And I use git and synching, to sync most of the stuff seamlessly. That said I mostly work from home nowadays, so I mostly use my work comp to speed up compilation, or run tests, dockers, databases, etc.

* Not trying to be an asshole. There are plenty of iPhone only app, that I sometimes** wish I could use, so I know how you feel.

** But not too much, otherwise I would switch by now :))

At least Siri doesn't pester you to buy various things or to use it for additional purposes like Alexa does as far as I know.

But, yeah, all the voice assistants are pretty bad or at least bad enough that I mostly give up trying to use them for anything other than certain rote tasks. Siri may or may not be marginally worse but none of them are good enough to, say, really use hands-off in a car unless I've carefully pre-defined tasks to perform. (e.g. pick from a handful of memorized playlist names).

Yeah. They were way late on 64-bit support. Yeah, most of us didn't need 64-bit but it was devastating to those who did (note that integrating with a 64-bit application means you need 64-bit support.) That told us we couldn't count on them--from that point on I never started a new project in Delphi and I didn't even reinstall it the last time I rebuilt my machine.

C# copied most of the good stuff from Delphi (and, unlike C++, didn't retain the minefield that is C) and since then has gotten almost everything Delphi had. The only thing that comes to mind that C# doesn't have arrays that aren't zero-based. (Delphi supports arrays with arbitrary bounds and supports arrays based on an enum. In C# I'm always casting enums to ints to use them.) Why would I look back??

The problem is not wanting to be profit driven

Of course they're businesses but now it's gotten to the point the big studios have lost sight of why people enjoyed movies to begin with. Now major movies are developed in marketing departments. Everything is reduced to analytics and metrics. They've stopped being creative and innovative.

Their political obsessions

But that's only because politics is popular and profitable as of late. Again Hollywood is just chasing whatever trend they can. They're so myopically focused on profit and trying to make movies solely for mindless mass appeal we just end up with movies that don't appeal to anyone.
I never bought into most of the hype and sci-fi applications pitched for 5G, but from my (German) perspective, 5G has delivered a lot. For me it mostly behaves close to WIFI performance. 4G often had way worse latency and the data speed has gone up too. On top of that, contracts with reasonable amount of data (50G/month in my case) have become available. This is quite some benefit. 5G basically enables me to treat mobile data like I used to use land line based data.
It should have been built into the client so that if a co of main fails, it tries master. But that would be too easy.
Maybe we shouldn't elect presidents who make it their mission to destroy anything the previous administration built?
5G is definitely a cool tech. What's not cool is how carriers trick people into thinking they're using "5G" (or even "6G") just because their phone's cellular data connection is operating on the 5G spectrum. What's also not cool is how carriers market their 5G services with claims of speeds that a normal user will never achieve. I've never seen a carrier market 5G as a solution for maintaining connections in congested areas, even though that realistically seems to be the big ticket item.

Spielberg is "worried" about it, in part, because he did it himself. In later releases of E.T.: The Exta-Terrestrial, Spielberg edited a crucial scene so that it no longer showed police officers pointing guns at a group of children (among other changes).

It's a good sign that he has publicly acknowledged that the edits were a mistake and the original theatrical version of E.T. is available.

I generally like Siri and rarely experience bugs. I use it to set timers, get the weather, play music via Spotify, occasionally dictate text messages, and look up trivia mid-conversation. It's been my replacement for Alexa ever since I got creeped out by Amazon's audio data retention. In this context I'm suprised to hear Apple employees are unhappy with it.

I built a cloud for my family to use.

It leverages containers and Docker Compose, mainly for it's tooling that makes it easy to deploy. I made a tool that correctly selects the right node based on the directory I'm in using Docker Profiles. The networking is both internal and external; I share some APIs externally, like to share photos or to run video game servers, while other services are entirely privileged. It, for the most part, implements mTLS, and has both public and private DNS. I have a single ingress node in my cloud provider that is connected to my home servers via Tailscale. It's been instrumental in building out things at my house and making my life easier and cheaper.

Not the usual tech megacorp brogrammer "technical interview" hazing?
> No they don’t.

Umm, yes they do. I'm not claiming these stories to be factual or correct, but the news being reported is that the number of websites selling CSAM, the number of reports of grooming/trafficking they receive, and other factors has been growing by about 30% each year for the last few years. They suggest the growth is likely a result of the pandemic, among other factors.

> If something (like CSAM, or terrorism, etc.) is a big problem, the relevant authorities should handle it, not the news media.

If CSAM and child sex trafficking is indeed getting worse, and our government isn't doing enough about it, why shouldn't the news media report on it? The whole point of having a free press is to have an informed public that influences government policy. It would be irresponsible of the news media to not report on such problems (assuming the problem is getting worse and it's not just a ploy to convince us to give up our privacy and security).

If you have evidence to the contrary (the problem isn't really getting worse), please do share. But being willfully ignorant and denying the problem exists isn't helping anybody.

I love my iPhone, it's a great device.

However, quite literally the only two things I use Siri for are asking "what song is this?" and "set a timer for X minutes."

The AI doesn't need to be the end-all-be-all of defining permissions. But it's not hard to imagine a couple of areas where AI could help:

1. Letting users enter desired permissions setting in a natural language, and then the AI recommending checkbox settings, and, importantly, explaining these settings.

2. Useful as a monitoring/alerting system for DLP. Most DLP systems already use some sort of machine learning for identifying sensitive docs.

3. Easily running "test scenarios" to show to admins who can and can't get access to particular docs.

There is a huge chasm between "AI owns all my permission settings" to "AI can make it easier and more robust for me to understand what my permission settings should be."
I wrote an open source SNOMED CT health terminology server and library
I think next generation of electronic health record systems will be more likely computing platforms than applications, requiring a suite of modular and composable computing and data services. Most healthcare applications essentially have to start from nothing - it's as if those of us writing web applications have to first start by writing our own networking stack. There is an optional library - hades - which provides a corresponding FHIR terminology API.

So yeah, they have a fuckton of other people's documents. 100% chance. Even I admittedly use one of their free documents as a simple todo list at work. That's probably really nice data for them too.

If they aren't doing some ML based on that data, somebody at the company is not doing their job.
I built a pretty simple command line application (glorified python script) years ago that sends messages into a specified matrix room, and intended for use as a basic server notification system. Only recently posted to github (because a friend asked me to share); see: https://github.com/mxuribe/howler

Like other sys admins and devs, I had used email notifications for years to notify me whenever *stuff happens* on a server (like a job ran/completed, some storage device is low, etc.). But when matrix came out several years ago, i really liked the concept, became a bit of a matrix fanboy, and built a little script to leverage - nowadays, all of - my server notifications. Again, pretty basic/not sophisticated, but it scratches my itches.
