I really dislike these "X was meant to Y Z. What happened?" stories.

Because who "meant it" to? Did they have any influence? Who stated it as a goal? Do you just mean that a bunch of pundits said it and now you want to be a pundit saying they were wrong?

In the specific case: did Apple ever say they would "revolutionise" accessibility, outright? Or did they just do what they've been doing since the iPhone: slowly, progressively trying to make accessibility a bit better and a bit more normalised?

I'm sure everyone who needs greater accessibility thinks Apple could do more. But I'm pretty sure they think everyone else is even further behind.

(I think Apple could do a couple of things much better -- one of those things would be endorsing or supplying a GPIO/I2C/SPI/CAN etc. bridge device with some official API support)

LastPass' CSV export can't handle certain characters so the exported password is wrong. I doubt they've fixed that. It was in the product during the 10-12 years I used LastPass.
I think adding your idea would work best in VR space.

Yes, good clarification. Generally if you're looking for government-proof conversations, id never use a Facebook or Google product or anything like that at all. Seems like the best idea would be dedicated devices you prepare with your co-conspirators up front using only open source components that you've audited and certs you've set up yourselves.

> After reading the article I still don’t know what “platform engineering” is meant to refer to.

It wasn't obvious to me either, so I found the following definitions. I still think that the article doesn't say 'how PE works' as opposed to providing a bunch of tips.

"The engineering platform is created and maintained by a dedicated product team, designed to support the needs of software developers and others by providing common, reusable tools and capabilities, and interfacing to complex infrastructure." [0]

"Platform engineering is the process of designing and implementing toolchains that improve the software delivery experience. Platform engineers set up automated infrastructure and self-service controls that allow developers to work more efficiently." [1]

"Platform engineering is the “discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era. Platform engineers provide an integrated product most often referred to as an ‘Internal Developer Platform’ covering the operational necessities of the entire lifecycle of an application." [2]

In most societies it's considered impolite to barge into someone else's house and decry the decor as tacky.
Not that many students on campus. From Wikipedia "The on-campus version is Harvard's largest class with 800 students, 102 staff..." they probably have that many or more online students but they aren't the ones in annenberg, the freshmen dining hall, waiting for TAs. (That hall is a dead ringer for the great hall at hogwarts.)

At the events, there were Facebook and Microsoft logos everywhere. I'm pretty sure corporate sponsorship took care of a lot of it.
The intelligence agencies and military need to stay busy and gain practical experience, if there is some sort of real conflict. Civilian life doesn't really afford them that opportunity. There are many anecdotes throughout history of comfortable empires falling from lack of experience in the field. Proxy wars and espionage campaigns are good practice, probably the best you'll get in the 21st century (so far).
This assumes Governments want to make boatloads of money. Why would they?

Governments want to help their friends and hurt their enemies. Doing this almost never involves making money - sometimes and only sometimes it involves helping their friends make money.

In your example step 1 and 2 are fine but 3 is awkward. Selling or renting things doesn't make anyone happy. It's better to just give it away - there's no profit to be made but again - the point isn't profit.
I would go one step further and say that all sources of runtime configuration should be reportable:

* Config files

* CLI options

* Environment variables

And what takes precedence when.
That’s an absurd theory. Why would Mercedes lobby to increase the taxes they pay. They could have just put the price up and taken the difference as profit. The point of the import duties was to advantage domestic manufacturers (I think there were some general U.S. Europe trade disagreements at the time)
Not parent, but I have had a good experience using SyncThing to keep my obsidian notes synchronized across devices.

I have a server at home where I self host a few services and access over tailscale so I have a device that is “always on” and syncing, but prior I used a $5 droplet for much of the same. Can recommend.
The only concern I have is that the content that happens to match markdown rules will get interpreted and the subsequent highlighting etc might surprise/annoy a user not familiar with markdown. E.g. adding a dash at the beginning of the line will get interpreted as a list item, typing asterisk will trigger the editor to put another asterisk and put the cursor in the middle with the expectation that you want to type bold text - you can press backspace to remove the extra asterisk and continue as per normal but if you are in the business of dealing with loads of asterisks/dashes at the beginning of the line, and don't care about markdown, you might be pissed.

All the approaches to handle this kind of thing are not as simple as turning off a checkbox. If that is a deal breaker, then this may not be the app for you. OTOH, if you don't mind occasionally dealing with that (or better still, picking up the bare minimum amount of markdown), it'll provide a pretty rich note taking experience. For typical content, I don't think this will be a frequent issue but then again, what is typical for someone may be atypical for me and vice versa.

Personally I think it is totally worth it but YMMV.
> So would I see this message if it was pulled in a script, by npm, go install, cargo or another such tool?

The repository maintainers would, every single time they updated the code.

For your own scripts, you'd see a 301 Moved Permanently response when e.g. fetching a source code ZIP. It's up to you as to whether you want to follow this redirect silently or print a warning.
My university uses that exact approach! I have first hand knowledge with students who refuse to follow the design recipe approach and insist on muddling through the code until they figure it out.

We even hand-mark their design recipes in the course! The students just do them after the fact.
Robyn is a "Web framework with a Rust runtime."
There are important exceptions to this. Old industrial era commercial buildings often have large spaces and big windows that make them relatively easy to convert. This is why lofts as a form make sense while also being desirable. Much of the cost of converted units comes from the high cost of acquiring the property, but that is less of a problem if the properties lose their value or are possessed by the government. And it is worth remembering that all properties are depreciating assets that get rebuilt or refurbished every 15-45 years or so on average anyway.

There isn't really, properly, a "language part" of your brain. There are certainly areas of the brain that are more active or participatory in language generation, but the division of the brain into functional areas is much more conventional than, for example, the division of a computer into a mother board, a processor, a GPU, etc. In a much more rigorous sense, these computer parts constitute discrete units. Your brain is a bag of cells for which functional divisions are, in a very real sense, incidental.

To give a very concrete example, the part of your brain called the visual cortex by neuroscientists nevertheless is activated by auditory and other sensory stimuli and assuredly participates in the processing of other sensory input in other ways. I am very suspicious of any attempt to talk about the brain which forgets that it is, in a very real sense, a gestalt.

To your specific point, and taking into account all I've written above, I've got little doubt that some part of your brain really is a probabilistic language generating machine. But the exact point here is that your cognitive abilities constitute much, much more than merely the ability to generate plausible language. Indeed, as I experience complex cognition, conversion into language is often the last and most trivial part of the exercise.
> Oh, so is this is a seller that processed the transaction after four years? Or did customs have a big box of AliExpress stuff in storage for four years that they only released when the platform was unbanned.

I don't have definitive answers, but the package was posted in 2019 (2019.05.23.20 -> 23 May 2019 08:?? pm China local time), so this is not the answer. Neither that Indian customs can reasonably sort which packages are from AliExpress: they're sent in the manufacturer's name so that's out too.

More likely that it was stuck somewhere unrelated to the China-India tit-for-tat (more likely that it already passed Indian customs and was just somehow stuck somewhere in the Indian mail system until someone have noticed this undelivered package).
(Mild) inflation benefits debtors. The people who benefit from constant prices are the rent-seeking class, who never have to take on any risk to keep income. You have this backwards just as the people you claim to dislike want.

Your #1 debt is likely to be a fixed rate mortgage. That payment gets less in real terms every time there’s inflation. And even if it’s not yours it’s still most people’s. So most people are helped by this.

Student loans also have fixed rates.
You remind me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUXnJraKM3k which is a couple of decades old now.

> Their self produced movies and shows are on average, abysmal. I might put up with their practices if they made good things.

That's the reality. Getting AAA shows on demand for $10/mo was always a mirage. The cable companies weren't conspiring against viewers by preventing you from getting channels a la carte.

Cross-subsidization is what makes TV work. The straight-to-DVD quality "streaming originals" are getting picked up by cable TV channels around the world that need programming. Eventually Netflix will see more profits from library royalties than they do from the subscription business.
I mean, I gotta ask now, right?

What is their job then?
I have never understood how to interpret AQI in iOS. Confusingly, the UI will (edit: or at least used to?) say "Air Quality: Low" when what it means is that the pollution level is low (ie. air quality is high). Somewhat disappointing coming from Apple.
This seems particularly relevant for work - if you work with reasonable people, that don’t expect you to deliver 2 weeks of work in one.

As for personal commitments (or “yes”) find it easier to say “let me think on it” or “that’s a great idea. Let me get back to you.”

Life is busy and it’s hard to commit in the moment anyway amongst whatever your existing commitments are.
I've seen virtually no use of Google Drive in the wild in my personal life. I've worked at 10k+ orgs that use it exclusively and every minute of every day.

I'm not sure where you're getting those stats but a source would be nice. I would suspect that their customer base and/or core usage is made up of far more tech company employees via Cloud and Workspaces than it is average Joes backing up documents.
I met Baltimore Jack in the Smokies in 2010 and crossed paths with him a few more times between there and Hanover. I think it's a bit more complicated than that.

With the limits that come of only seeing him a few times on the trail, I'd like to suggest that he clearly had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and probably had some other demons.

With that said, he was also a kind soul and the conscience of the hiker community. He was unafraid to say something to people acting in a way that was detrimental to the community at large. He encouraged other hikers and shared freely of what he had be that knowledge or food.

Because of all of that, there was a certain amount of hero worship around him. He was a much loved character. But I get the sense that Baltimore Jack was a bit of a character, and assuming that role let him avoid some of the other things in his life that he might've lived longer had he addressed them.
A useful variation is: "Where does this fit in the order of priorities? Would you put it above <most important pending task> or <most urgent pending task>?". If neither, you have some time to figure it out later, after you complete your ongoing task(s).
keepamovin doesn't have or need a licence at all (GPL or otherwise) so can't be violating it. He is distributing his program by virtue of being the author/copyright holder, not by virtue of owning a (GPL) licence for it. He doesn't need a distribution licence (from himself).

In LICENSE.MD, he declares that I (for example) may take a copy of his program provided I choose one of the licences he is willing to offer me. One of the choices is known as the GPL. Let's say I choose that. Now he's given me a copy of the program and granted me an unmodified, unrestricted GPL licence to use and distribute it. Let's write the terms down in a file called licence.gpl. (This is just a copy of the GPL itself.) I don't hold the program's copyright. I don't have a licence to distribute the program further under his LICENSE.md but I do now own a licence to use/distribute my copy of it as described in the licence he's granted me, licence.gpl.

My distribution licence (licence.gpl) doesn't allow me to add extra restrictions when distributing. So people I distribute to under the terms of my licence.gpl will automatically be granted a GPL licence by keepamovin (not me) to distribute further.

keepamovin as the author and perpetual sole copyright holder is different from me and people I distribute his program to, who are all mere licencees never copyright holders. We all hold licences he has granted to us directly and individually. (We don't grant licences to each other, having no right to do so. The GPL allows me to distribute my copy of the program to you at which point keepamovin will automatically give you a licence. (A licence is more abstract than a licence file.))

All distributions rooted in my copy should probably make clear that they are under licence.gpl not LICENSES.md. But that's something for any program offered under a choice of licences to solve.

The copy of the program at the site above is offered by keepamovin under an open source licence (GPL) and also other licences. The site thus does have an open source offering of the program. So it's true that "BrowserBox Pro goes open-source".

(Just as a licence is more abstract than a licence file, a program here is more abstract than a copy of a program. A person's giving a program to another person means ownership has transferred. So I was careful to write "copy of the program" above, as none of this distribution/redistribution involves transferring ownership of the program, which abstract work remains forever only keepamovin's.)
That’s a classic of lazy and data-hungry (as in selling user data) American sites.

In a way it’s positively self-selecting: these are rarely to never primary sources, just aggregators. Flag and move on.
That’s one other potential viewpoint and maybe it should be adopted more, but that’s not how it works in practice. If penalties for driving drunk and/or recklessly were higher, people would probably feel that way more.
If that's true, I'll need to give it another look to consolidate all these different protocols I'm using (IRC, XMPP, Matrix). It must have been the documentation is was reading that lead me to believe this.

Anyone remember when MSN ran the Internet Gaming Zone site? It acted as a portal or login system for AoE, Asheron's Call, etc. It was HORRIBLE. Microsoft has gotten lucky with some IP like Halo and buying big studios out, but they simply try to run a gaming company like a software biz, and its not really been well received.

Fanon versus Canon
> Or, you know, just stop eating so much. It isn't hard and you can do it for free.

So funny to hear people who have never struggled with food saying "it's not hard" in the comment section of an article telling you in no uncertain terms that for some people it _is_ hard. It's like straight people sating "it's easy, just don't be gay!"

I lost weight and keep it off but my body constantly lies to me about my nutritional needs. I'm not sure I'll ever have a healthy relationship with food.
It's a link, but not a source. That's like you asking me for a source of a Biden speech and I reply "youtube.com" Not very useful.

Tanks on the road to Moscow could be used to give an impression of a coup. For all we know Putin set this up to expose any rogue elements looking to oust him.
Frankly, it's a crappy landscape:

1. The main competitor everyone knows about, 1Password, has its own problems. (I gave up on it a couple years ago after learning that you can't quit the goddamn MacOS application when it's logged out. It literally requires you to be logged in to make use of a super-secret-strong quit that doesn't leave some daemon on the system. Which is incredibly irritating when you're trying to just run a software update but instead you have to type your super long and secure password manager password.)

2. Transitioning passwords is hard even once you find a good alternative. One should change passwords after a breach, but there are basically three options: (a) use the automated password changing within the old password manager. But if you don't trust your password manager after a breach, it's probably a bad idea to use the automated password changing feature of said password manager and end up with your new passwords in the insecure service. (b) import everything to a new password manager and change from there. But if you have a lot of passwords, there's a good chance the new password manager won't be able to automatically change them all, and then you'll either have to carve out a huge amount of time to do it all at once, or have a mixture of secure and insecure passwords in the new password manager, which seems very problematic. (c) gradual transition: move the mission critical passwords first and change them on the spot, then as you use a less important service, change the password for that and move it to the new service as you go. Which makes sense, but means you'll still be using the shitty old one for a while.
How well will this work when accessing Zotero notes via the Mobile App. Will the notes still be viewable from iOS Zotero App, even with more limited functionality?
> emphasize readability

This is a claim that has never, ever been true.

Nothing is less readable than defining scope with whitespace. Nothing.

One really has to boggle at the notion that there are people who consider Python (or YAML for that matter) even remotely readable.
'This air quality level is known to cause cancer in California'
Well, this depends. If you were saying no because you honestly believe that you cannot accommodate your manager's (or whatever) request into your current schedule/plan/loading, then you probably want to take the time to get in writing a new plan that exactly articulates what your manager believes your old plan and priorities were, and what your new plan and priorities are. You are now trying to solve a planning and communication problem.

If you were just saying no because you didn't -want- to do it. Well, then your manager is calling your bluff, and ya, you need to find another way to wiggle out of it. Tough luck.
Years ago I found a copy of "The Dark Side of Planet Earth", a copy of the first episode to the Original Planet Earth series overlaid with the album. Whether intentional or not, the phenomena when a lyric or chord syncs up with the action on the screen is incredibly cool and can change the vibe. There's gotta be a pareidolia like term for finding audio sync ups.

Near the opening the camera is panning over some polar bear cubs finally leaving hibernation. In the opening show, this is a playful upbeat moment that makes the scene look like the cubs are playing. However with Dark Side, the scene changes to some intense life or death situation as like the cubs are at risk of falling off a cliff in an attempt to get to their mother.

"Money" starts right as B-roll of Spring is in full bloom; "Us and Them"'s line 'up and down' corresponds to shots of a great white shark jumping and falling to catch a seal; and a lot of the general b-roll syncs up with instrumental pieces.

...I think I'll watch it again tonight for fun :D
0.17mg/kg so 13.6mg for an 80kg individual. According to Wikipedia, there are 15(±5)mg of psilocybin per gram of dried shrooms.

So yeah that's a light dose but definitely noticeable.

You can still have grace and style by showing the finger (depending on the culture and your willingness to take some risk) :-)
That one’s not a great example. Either you know the capital or you don’t. There’s no process (other than research) by which you can learn the name while attempting to answer.

A question I get much more often is “how do I solve this math problem?” Many times, the problem is one I’ve never seen before. So in the process of answering the question, I also learn how to solve the problem too.
This isn’t uncommon in business. Banks have done “shut down inactive accounts” with low balances for as long as I know (I’ve had a couple of accounts shut down). Uber also dropped my account since I never used them after learning of their history. More than no ride activity, I’m guessing the fact the only card I had on my account was no longer valid. So it’s not like Adobe is inventing something here.
Huh, weird, I get redirected to foodnetwork with a message saying "This site is not available in your country". I miss the internet.
