But in the end they are not the same result. Recreation.gov is way better than what the agencies tried to do individually, in-house, before. This isn't a hypothetical, it's the actual historical pathway we went through to arrive at this point. Our shitty public option, where it existed at all, was thankfully replaced by a much superior centralized public-private partnership.

Those exact same project managers probably would never have wanted to work directly for the NPS to begin with, dealing with government clearances and pay scales and bureaucracies for what, maybe half to 70% of their private-sector pay? I'm currently job-hunting for a public-sector web dev job and it's not easy to jump through their hoops, and that's for someone who's purposely seeking them out. Would a less civically-minded PM even bother?

Good web development isn't just about code, but largely culture, a sort of user-focused product culture that's hard enough to find in tech proper, harder still in government. Congress doesn't even THINK about these issues, much less try to put out good requirements for them. It's easier for them to sign a check (or a rent-seeking agreement) than to spin up what would basically amount to a new digital agency from scratch (which I actually think would be a great idea, like what the United States Digital Service is tasked with)... but that takes time to get off the ground. In the meantime Recreation.gov (and ReserveAmerica before it) have served the public well for the last decade or so, at the expense of some minor taxpayer dollars -- still much more bang for the buck than we get out of a typical war or panicked pandemic response, or housing Secret Service agents at private resorts or whatever.

If and when our government improves, then yes, we should in-house essential and basic services like web development. But our government doesn't seem to be improving on that front, and efforts to push it forward (like a Green New Deal) faltered. The current administration did manage to push through a lot of infrastructure dollars, but it remains to be seen whether that'll pay off (and whether it can survive the next Republican administration). Fingers crossed... but until then, god damn it, let me have my easily reserved campsites, please, if only so I can get away once in a while without having to think about how shitty the government is!
Office 365 offers message retention - our standard configuration will see it set with a seven year period. So you can delete from the outfox, and it goes to deleted items. If you delete from there it disappears from view, but any admin exporting your mailbox will include it for seven years.
Update: I should clarify that I don't intend this to be dismissive or critical. I'm just trying to point out that when we have a visceral reaction to something, it often points more towards ourselves and our past experiences than the thing itself.

> But alas, either that never happens because nobody cares (most digital services) or it becomes a political battleground (California vs Texas in education). Sometimes I hate our system of powerful states vs centralized nations...

You hit the nail on the head. We have a trickle down system, where states implement services differently. The reason states don't learn from each other is because of the huge culture war. Texas would rather freeze the state than learn from California, and California would rather pay 20x for public infrastructure than accept a contractor based out of Nevada due to the state's political leanings. It infects every piece of cross-state collaboration and is also why Federal budgetary politics are so acrimonious these days.
I wonder how the acoustics are?
What if you were at a company that had 100 teams with open spots to fill. They all need the same basic skill set and with some onboarding it will fill in gaps in the domain knowledge.

Do you want to do 100 interviews? An interview with 100 people asking you questions? If you interview with the "wrong" team or someone else accepts a position with that team before you do, do you want to be dropped from consideration?

That structure for interviewing is set up to try to find as many people who are {this good} as possible to hire. Once you get hired, then they'll try to figure out where you fit in. Trying to fit each person to their exactly right and best fit spot as part of the interview process makes it even more time consuming.
True, though it might be possible to make a more one-size-fits-all pill that targeted species which correlate with worse health (say, a bunch of bacteriophages).
Android (more strictly, AOSP) is an open source linux based operating system that can be used standalone with no google shenanigans whatsoever. I don't like google either, but at least I can use whatever software I want on my machine. To say android is as restrictive or more restrictive than Apple is to be disconnected from reality. To say that using Android is less cyberpunk than using a completely vertically integrated system like the iPhone with it's thousand dollar accessories because "evilcorp" is absurd.

In labor economics, they refer to that slightly higher price (compared to the minimum clearing price) as an "efficiency wage" - it describes the same thing you describe above. Only note that this is a profit maximizing behavior - as companies pay out efficiency wages to avoid turnover costs or an unproductive workforce.

But Red Hat was aware of that risk but made the decision to repackage and live off other people's work a few decades ago - and it paid off.

Many components inside a modern linux distros are actually developed by people employed by big corporation. Take systemd for example, where a huge portion of its core developers are employed by red hat, microsoft and facebook. The distro itself may be run entirely by volunteers, but the softwares they packaged might not be developed entirely by volunteers.

I find it difficult to take people seriously who continuously clutch their pearls about the evil of BigTech yet and still benefit from it.

I bet you dollars to donuts that you’re making a higher than median wage working in tech instead of being a teacher, working at a non profit etc.

The tech industry is a net negative on society. Yet it’s a net positive for you. It’s the other people that it hurts.

Of course council officials want to be in the room ... They want a piece of the action.

The planning officers were kicking back only a small portion of the bribes to the councilors and pocketing the bulk for themselves.

Will take a page from George Carlin on this, regarding "soft language" and euphemisms that conceal the underlying reality (e.g., Carlin's example of "shell shock" vs "PTSD", and many others...)

The reason "enshitification" hits so hard is precisely because it doesn't hold back; it's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable.

Would you prefer a more sanitized term? (one that more thoroughly obscures the intent with safe and harmless language?)

This happened to me last month after I landed at Chicago O'Hare!

I didn't see any of this until I took the phone out of my pocket.

I don't think it was from pressing the power button five times. With the case I have on my S22 Ultra, it takes a fairly hard press. And with where I keep the phone in my pocket, it doesn't seem that it would have gotten pressed at all, much less five times. But maybe that was it after all.

Is there another way an Android phone can do an unexpected 911 call?

Raising state income tax to 10% is not enough to exceed what I pay in sales tax in my state, so such a move would be a net positive for me.

If I were a millionaire, it would be a very different story, and I would end up paying more in taxes. But if I were that rich, a relatively small change in my tax burden wouldn't have any real impact on my lifestyle, so who cares?

I think sales taxes are generally regressive. They disproportionately impact the poor and middle class, who spend a greater percentage of their income on taxable goods and services than the wealthy.
Zig very much has opinions about things and is not created by a committee. I suspect that is why people here want to see it included. Rust is s bit of s mixed bag, while it has strong opinions it also suffers w bit from committee design but that is true for C++ too which is in the article.
If you look at any modern supermarket and strip out all the processed junk, you’re left with a few types of meat, few types of vegetables and maybe some mushrooms. Most of our dishes are a combination of maybe 25 items of which 6,7 are heavily used.
It only does so if the sales tax itself is regressive. The entire point of excise taxes is to be avoidable through conscious consumption. Heavy sales taxes on luxury goods are better than income taxes because it ensures anyone can avoid them by not spending but also ensures luxury good consumption merits disproportionate societal funding.

100V doesn't cut it, we need them to work off USB-C. The current generation of appliances is a bit too old, and should soon be phased out. It has already begun, but the next generation of appliances all have built in battery and capacitor banks. Batteries are trickle charged through USB-C (i.e. like phones and laptops).

e.g. cordless vacuums / lawn equipment with swappable batteries.

e.g. water proof electric shavers, toothbrushes, blow dryers.

Likely soon induction stoves, air fryers (for instant pre-heat), heat pumps (including the fridge / freezer), blenders, etc. If it can run on USB-C, off the wall cool. If it can't add a battery.
Apologies for not responding on this. I felt this was furthering my point on the path dependence of our "scientific notation" being based on a base 10 system. Were you intending this differently?

I am curious what the "4 bits" you are referencing? Seems a small number of bits, even for the time. (This is not to be confused with the 4 bit per digit of BCD, which adds up per digit encoded such that you get a lot of waste rather rapidly. Or, do I have that wrong, as well?)
I don't understand your question. Plenty of senior people work at (and join) FAANGs with high comp and excitement about the role.

I thought it was current. That's a good point, thanks.
It is probably not possible for people to carry on buying luxuries, gadgets etc at the same levels as before without others being forced to do without the basic necessaties. Remember, this all started out with an energy crisis: there was not really enough to supply all the factories in China running flat out as people caught up with their consumption along with everything else, and then Russia throttled back their exports and made things worse. That shortage of energy directly caused prices to increase until demand could actually be satisified, which directly made things like food more expensive. You couldn't just fix this by forcing the companies to charge less, even though the money is ending up as profits, because energy and fuel just isn't available in sufficient quantities without Russia.

There's also a shortage of workers in most developed countries too, which means that any labour used to provide luxuries directly impacts the amount available to produce the basic necessaties like housing and healthcare as well.
I like the ETH result and it is an impressive feat (I know some people involved in that work). That said the article is a lot of rubbish. First there is the weird focus on lasers, all (relevant) Optical Communication uses lasers, including fibre comms. Then they make it sound like this is to replace fibre, again rubbish.

The amount of data going through fibres is absolutely staggering, replacing this with intersatellite links is just not going to happen. First you still need fibre to connect your ground stations (and you need quite a bit of redundancy due to weather) and there are still a lot of unsolved problems (tracking and pointing for example). However there are many interesting applications of optical satellite links and quite a few players are investing in it, the big one is actually data connections for scientific space missions.
Argos were well ahead of the curve shopping tech wise which formed a large part of the reason that Sainsburys bought them.

While Amazon was being pleased as punch about offering next day delivery on items (actual delivery time highly variable) Argos was offering completely reliable _same day_ delivery.

It is quite amazing how smooth the process is, even if you cant get same day delivery you will invariably be able to get same day pickup. In extreme cases even if the item is not in stock locally if you order early enough in the day their logistics are so good they can move it same day to your local store for collection for zero extra charge.

I do think it's pretty amazing that a basic modern authorization system essential has a hard dependency on a 20+ million lines of code web browser, even for native apps. And mostly just because we need a central location to store auth cookies. I'd love to see a stripped-down "auth browser" that has no job other than rendering basic style-free forms (maybe even declared in JSON) and storing cookies. Problem is you have to get the big boys to stop requiring JavaScript for their auth flows.

That said, after doing a decent amount of implementing OAuth2/OpenID Connect, the core profiles are actually pretty reasonable and about what you would want to do if you were starting from scratch. The trick is making sense of all the optional stuff. There have been some efforts[0] to improve that.

The part I've never been able to figure out is why does OAuth2 use tokens at all, rather than generating a key pair and sending the public key with the initial auth request, then signing subsequent requests?

> Hello :)

> It's not clear to me if I do, actually.

Thanks for your measured response!

> qualities such as bravery, cool-headedness, reliability, are discounted and mocked

They're mocked? I guess I don't see that.

> But if it's an unemployed blue collar worker, no surprise he is in poor mental health.

Of course. But isn't that an economic problem?

> So the past "toxic" upbringing of boys didn't, seemingly, cause that. Maybe it caused other issues, but not this.

Right. IMO the two issues are largely tangential. I understand that a lot of men are disgruntled, but feminism seems to me like just a scapegoat. The economy has increasingly become globalized yet centralized, benefiting a small percentage of people while leaving a lot of others behind.

> Yes, boys need emotional support, but it has to be boys-specific

Sure. The article is clear that boys need emotional support specifically from their dads, who are effectively role models.
If you have the means, how about starting a better-run company or cooperative or nonprofit to compete against the likes of Booz? I'd love to join and/or support such an effort.
Both android and iOS natively let you set a custom DNS server and there are several that include adblocking (or you can host your own). It's not as good as application level blocking but it's quite effective.

I recommend NextDNS as a hosted, paid, custom DNS provider.
Who knows? There have definitely been plenty of studies showing that we're seeing more inflammation and I have definitely felt like people in general are getting "dumber". Likely a mix of several factors.
How about if you stick a sign over the top of the light switch saying "Please don't turn this off, there's an emergency with the NAS and I'll lose all the data if this switch gets turned off"?

If she still turns it off anyway, you'd be forgiven for being a tad unhappy about it... ;)
> Luckily I caught it before it became like the other case I heard of, where a kid learned he could get a fire truck to visit anytime he was bored and had a phone.

Reminds me of the kid's book where a young girl (kindergarten age) really has to use the bathroom but can't find it so she calls 911 because she was taught "call 911 if and only if there is an emergency".

I think about this more than I should, because it drives me crazy how many rail routes in the UK are there but ridiculously underutilised because few people live there now, but so many of those stretches of rail also have immediate surroundings of rail station with no historic value, yet built on, that could provide extra density very cheaply if only people felt they could rely on faster commutes.
Why skip the good part
Kind of off topic but the actual "Santa isn't real" moment for me was that some children really believed it. To us, it was always on the same level as the fairies (led by BDFL Tinkerbell, obviously) in my grandmother's garden or the tooth fairy: fun to imagine but clearly, literally, make-believe and I thought everyone was just playing up to the same fun thought-experiment.

And, indeed, the Argos catalogue was, for me, pored over all year round. In turn I discovered the multi-volume RS print catalogue and real desire set in. Sadly Santa didn't have a trade account so took a while to scam an account that permitted no-lower-limit free shipping.

Have you ever had an issue with the resistive losses in your long ethernet cords?

If you're prefer you can think of it as: each room gets its own Tesla powerwall, and therefore the battery to wall socket resistive losses are negligible.
Ok, so it seems like they're hard (or impossible) to find in your area, but that's not true everywhere.
I'm starting to feel the pain too, and we're not even at a monorepo stage - just a large project with lots of history.

There's some interference coming from me running Emacs/Magit on WSL1, and corporate nuking my Windows Defender exclusions lists, meaning "real time protection" is slowing every file write down. Still for small to medium repos it's wonderful; for that one large at work, it's... pretty much setting my tea breaks.

Currently the most annoying mysterious issue is that some commands (usually pulling or rebasing, sometimes committing too) reach the point of Magit echoing "git finished", and then... whole Emacs remains frozen for 30-120 seconds. I haven't traced that tone to source yet.
Similar here, except we also have Ubuntu systems (and a few others). What happens next is very simple, it will just take some time.
Oh, but Ars will have their review out soon, I can hardly wait. Will it be a "recommend"? Or maybe even a "sell your children"? Who can guess? We will just have to wait and find out, I guess.

What I wonder is how this escaped any kind of field testing without discovering this problem. Or even how it made it out of design. How does that protective plastic not go to the edge? And TIL that if you buy a foldable, you're getting a screen protector whether you like it or not.

> And the fact that usually the term is just dropped in the conversation. And no actually realistic solution or alternative is even provided.

Description of an issue doesn't necessarily require resolving the issue. It's ok to raise the issue without already having a proposed answer for it. I don't know where it is written that you can't raise an issue unless you also propose a fix for it.

To be fair, I'm rather glad people don't generally do that... too many armchair XXXXs already that claim to have an answer for everything
Yeah it is obviously unsustainable, but nobody knows how long it can last, and they don't really care. Whoever gets to helm the ship when the end starts will get fired by the board, and somebody new will come on board. When they eventually can't grow, they'll start acquiring other companies and using that as their growth. Repeat forever.
