> Also definitely not in the best interest of users, which isn't the Satya Nadella way of operating, at least not as demonstrated in the developer tools side of the business.

Oh yes, good tsar, bad boyars.

Whenever Microsoft does something good, like open-sourcing some dev tool, it's because of Nadella. But he isn't responsible for the state of Windows. If only someone told him about the forced telemetry, forced updates, forced Microsoft account login, pushing Edge down users' throats, and so on... I'm sure he would fix all those problems, but sadly, he doesn't know. And it's just a coincidence that all this stuff intensified when he became the CEO.

I even saw a comment on HN saying that it's "Ballmer loyalists" who are truly at fault for the current state of Windows.
Considering the incredible and rising popularity of ad-blockers and ad-free streaming, clearly decades of "habituation" hasn't diminished the desire to remove ads from our sight.

well, now all it needs is capability to swim and there goes humanity.
Isn't this an example of an "accusation based judgement"?

> This is taken from a complaint in a class action lawsuit. Class action lawyers are very similar to patent trolls whereby they can spin almost any story they want. And journalists go for clicks, so they amplify the sensationalism. It doesn't mean this is one of those, but a class action complaint should not just blindly be trusted.

This amounts to "class action lawyers and journalists are bad so we can ignore what they're saying".
I really recommend folks use "less" over cat, especially keyboard oriented folks. Different terminal emulators don't always have the scroll behavior I want, not do they always allow me to search the file I'm looking at. "less" does all those things, in nearly every environment no matter the terminal emulator, and has other wonderful options to boot (chop long lines so they don't wrap can be nice for logs, line numbers can be VITAL, etc).

I still uselessly use cat though, it's such a nice way to build a pipeline.

The "two digit periodic table symbol" is also arbitrary - it has to be initial caps! Then if you refresh the page, the random stuff resets, so I gave up at that point with !marchpepsidn26n2555VIIVabout where "dn26n" is random captcha.

Hi, author of the post here. No part of this post was generated via ChatGPT (or any other AI). I had been maintaining my own list of commands I've used over the years and decided to publish it on my website.
The GPGPU community is full of a decade+ of bright-eyed bushy-tailed AMD fans who were painfully and traumatically pushed into the NVidia camp after believing AMD's promises that it was totally ready for GPGPU (if only people would write OpenCL!) but then discovering the horrible truth that this was very much not the case. AMD's OpenCL was dire. I wasted months into that flaming piece of trash -- twice! -- and really wish I hadn't. Both times I had to toss my code, sell my card, eat the spread, eat the ebay tax, and pay the green tax to buy a lower-specced nvidia card, but that all sucked a lot less than tossing my very own programmer months into a dumpster fire. Ironically, the very openness that was supposed to win converts from the green camp actually sent people in the opposite direction because you could run your OpenCL on an nvidia card and find out that actually the problem wasn't with your code but rather with AMD's drivers.

Hopefully now that AMD has money they can afford the headcount to fix their bugs and some more headcount to make up for 15 years of lost time in the applications that matter. Hopefully. But I trusted them twice and got burned, so this time I need to see proof before I jump. I need to see blender renders, I need to see torch trainings, I need to see NAMD (or insert science code here) running on a compatibility layer. It is unfortunate that the actual compatibility situation seems to have hardly moved at all in 10 years (it was right around the corner in 2013 too, you see) but the fundamentals are different now so I hold out hope.
I focused on dinner only, and would start eating around 4pm and stop at 8pm - 2hrs before bedtime (technically that's 20/4 fasting and not OMAD).

I have coffee in the morning, 1-2 cups, then just water the rest of the day. If you're fasting for true fasting effect (autophagy, etc.) then you can't eat more than 50cal or you'll "break" the fast.

If you're fasting for dieting/reduced calories, then having a protein shake (100-200cal) is OK if it helps you get through the day.

I'm lucky in that my body responds will to fasting, but you may need to ease into it - aim for not eating until 12pm (12-8pm), then push that later each week as you feel better until you get to 4pm or 6pm and are doing OMAD.

Also very important when fasting is food quality. OMAD is marketed as "eat anything you like and lose weight!", and while that may be true you'll feel like crap if the only meal you have pizza and ice cream and beer. Start with a salad, then get some good protein & fat in your entree, with a side of carbs. Dessert is OK, but it should be a treat - not a full serving/second meal.
I would settle for the basics before insisting on actual innovation. I also want chargers to allow using a credit card (or Apple Pay or whatever) as an alternative to whatever is programmed into the car.

Yup, why not. I just need to learn how to do it first. :)
I think that the special thing about Twitter (and other short-form services) is that it's actually impossible to include context and nuance even if you want to.
I'm curious if the ruling could be any different if the scraped website only served the content once the visitor clicks "accept" button next to the T&C link, rather than referring to it in the footer.

Also: is the situation any different when art galleries display online photos of public domain paintings and similarly attempt to put restrictions on use of these photos? After all, faithful photographic reproduction of 2D artwork seems even less derivative than transcription of song lyrics.

Yes it is "because they can" but they can because there's a supply/demand mismatch and demand is inelastic to price increases.

I strongly disagree with the link you’ve provided saying that queue bases systems are hard to measure the health of. I think the queue size is a good way to monitor the health of things, assuming you have some not super pathological workload. If your queues have a bounded size then alerting at various points towards that upper bound makes perfect sense
Well. I got stuck.

Rule 9: The Roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35
Rule 14: Name this country (Malasysia for me)

Given that M=1000 in roman numerals, I need to find x such that x*1000=35

How do I write 0.035 in Roman Numerals?!
> "specialized stores" whatever that means

I coined the phrase, and am now not so sure myself. It doesn't really need to be that special, either. If you live in a small area you'll have eg. 1-5 stores.

There will be a big box supermarket, a local one, and maybe some other wildcard option. Then there will be a couple local stores (hardware, outdoors, etc.). However, if you want anything specific or just don't like the shop, you have to go to a different city.

I don't know if you've lived in a small town, but this would include things like electronic. With no Best Buy or Circuit City, you were stuck with Walmart, or a local shop for almost twice the price.
All excellent points. I'd just like to add that when tackling monitoring, know exactly what problem(s) you're trying to solve. Monitoring-for-monitoring's-sake is a fool's game. Are you monitoring to get usage patters? Debug production problems? Troubleshoot for customer service? Know what actionable information you want/need from your monitoring solution and let that guide the approach.
Bracket (Single)/(Couple) | Marginal Tax Rate

$0+/$0+ | 5.00%

$8,900+/$17,800+ | 9.00%

The marginal rate is 9% starting at your dollars above $8,900 single or $17,800 married. Yes, I rounded to 10% in my statements. Even low income earners relative to the median are taxed astronomically in Oregon. It is simply not a progressive policy. It is a painful policy at best.

True, this is something that devs who are outside of SV are very often mocking SV devs for. That low-hanging fruit is too ripe to ignore.
> the younger generations, that's all they talk about

There's something to this, I think. For younger generations, politics has become an identity and seems to influence a significant majority of their life - including who they associate with, etc.

I enjoy the sport of the debate - but am very careful not to "get into it" with people who do not initiate that conversation on their own. Not everyone can have a debate and walk away at the end not thinking less of the other person.

I LOL'd at bit at this. The following paragraphs do capture the issues neatly, but that sentence just comes off either as inspirational at best or naïve at worst.
Heh, in the Catholic Church this could jump you right into a current vicious divide between regressive “Latinists” who want to undo all of Vatican 2 (most relevantly, the change from holding mass in Latin to holding it in the local language), and the pope and actual church.
Jean Baudrillard would argue we are in an even worse fate: The VR/AR/Mobile/Disneyland world is a presented reality in a way we can dismiss it, while still accepting the world around us as real [0]. The danger is the simple call ("turn it off" or "remove it from your eyes") misses that the reality without the glasses is just as much a fiction. Slavoj Žižek makes the argument as forcefully against Ideology as a concept as well [1].

> Thus, everywhere in Disneyland the objective profile of America, down to the morphology of individuals and of the crowd, is drawn. All its values are exalted by the miniature and the comic strip. Embalmed and pacified. Whence the possibility of an ideological analysis of Disneyland: digest of the American way of life, panegyric of American values, idealized transposition of a contradictory reality.

> Certainly.

> But this masks something else and this "ideological" blanket functions as a cover for a simulation of the third order: Disneyland exists in order to hide that it is the "real" country, all of "real" America that is Disneyland (a bit like prisons are there to hide that it is the social in its entirety, in its banal omnipresence, that is carceral). Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe that the rest is real, whereas all of Los Angeles and the America that surrounds it are no longer real, but belong to the hyperreal order and to the order of simulation. It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology) but of concealing the fact that the real is no longer real, and thus of saving the reality principle.

> The imaginary of Disneyland is neither true nor false, it is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate the fiction of the real in the opposite camp. Whence the debility of this imaginary, its infantile degeneration. This world wants to be childish in order to make us believe that the adults are elsewhere, in the "real" world [...]

Then they need a private monitoring service to call them before 911 is called. The current level of public safety resources cannot handle robocalls to 911.
Bank robbers rob banks because that is where the money is. Law enforcement targets criminal-oriented communication channels because that is where the criminals are.

Unfortunately, it seems that encryption alone is a signal to law enforcement that criminals are there.

Personal anecdote, but a friend of mine fell asleep at the wheel and rolled her car on a quiet road. Her watch called 911 while she was unconscious. I can't say for certain how long it would've taken for someone else to report the crash.

My wife went out and bought a watch the next day.

They probably could figure it out. I don't think that was the point though, at least in Canada.

It felt more like all of the chargers networks wanted to become something more like of Japan's prepaid IC card system for the trains. I think their dream was to have drivers buy into a reoccurring subscription for super charger access, and become big enough to be the One Charger Network to Rule Them All.

Whether this new announcement changes anything for the Canadian charging networks, I don't know. Some of the operators had already entered into cross subscription agreements with each other to try and alleviate the pain points. Part of me thinks that they'll run to the federal government and ask for protection against Tesla's network if they view it as too great a threat, but they could also end up playing nice with with each other as well.

Next few years is going to be interesting to watch either way.

This made me angry. Good job.
Superblocks is cool, but... when I tried building a simple web hook receiver, it totally failed because the sender of the web hook had their own particular notion of how authentication should work. And Superblocks was rigid in its concept of "web hook". There is no way to write arbitrary request handling code to get around this limitation.

As with all low-code / no-code solutions, you can't please all the people all the time. But I felt the design choice in this particular case was overly rigid and with little justification.
I wonder how the average Googler feels about reviewing their homemade Go code to Rust code.
If you want to do monitoring and logging at scale, the majority of the best practices are captured in this article: https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/instrumenting-distri...

These are the key insights we learned running hundreds of services at Amazon scale and you'll learn something whether you're just starting, you think you know it all or you need some actionable ways of improving your operational excellence.
It'll be basically like smartphones and computers now.

The more savvy users will have a better experience, exerting more control using free (or crowd-funded) tools which block ads. The mainstream companies will continue to make the computing experience an ad-filled privacy nightmare for everyone else.

Also like now is the "Wargames" aspect of it - the computing landscape is already such an ad-filled privacy nightmare that, "The only winning move is not to play".

I had the same experience around the same time (though I'm a bit older). LFS really helped me understand the relationship between the bootloader, kernel, init system, and all of the various daemons and tools that make up a complete system.

From there I moved to Gentoo, and then eventually to Ubuntu and other batteries-included distros. But the knowledge I gained from LFS is still a foundational part of my skillset, even though my roles have been more dev-focused than ops/infra.
Hey thanks for your response. This seems like the easiest/fastest way of handling it.
>If you don't want to put in the hard work of staying on top of your employee, that's fine, but if you are not going to engage in democracy why keep up the facade?

I don't participate in democracy because I believe the whole thing to be a facade itself, an illusion. Sure, it exercises the will of the people more than exactly zero, and has served us reasonably well historically (at least on a relative basis, according to the flawed methodologies by which we measure / hallucinate such things), but on an absolute scale how good is it really?

I think it would be interesting if some way could be found to enable people to be curious about such things. Perhaps a good start on that would be to first investigate why people are currently not able to be curious about this, because it seems very counterintuitive and it is plausibly quite harmful.

>Certainly, if you are going to sit back and not participate, interests will go towards those who do (e.g. lobbyists).

For now, but it would be a shame if a movement of some sort materialized with the goal of putting an end to this little party.
If they stop lying to themselves and to the others, it will become clear that their position is just as good as anybody's, or that they are monsters, or that the subject is complex, or whatever; but in either way, it will move the argument in a productive direction.

Very often those people keep lying to themselves exactly because if they stopped they would discover they have some really bad values.
I do understand why people try this approach:

First: wasm is the perfect plug-in language, as it provides a high level of isolation and therefore security for the host app.

Second: the promise of wasm is that you can write it in any language. I think this is compelling for any application that seeks for extensibility.

Wether all this is worth the effort is probably the actual question. Maybe we will be surprised by killer plugins that wouldn’t be possible with regular plug-in systems…

As a German: Why? All scam-app checkins during the pandemic were also doable via paper (I refused to install the damn app), pretty much everything I can do on my phone, I can also do by paper (which I have to for my health insurance, damn TK is not only the most digitally progressive health insurance, they also seem to be the only app existing on Android with an almost uncircumventable root detection). The only exception would be my bank, but that’s because I chose a neobank which requires a smartphone to even sign up.
There's absolutely nothing preventing them asserting their version of events and following up with evidentiary filings within a reasonable timeframe. Just like there's nothing preventing corporations from admitting liability and apologizing, but they generally prefer to settle instead and never ever admit fault, thanks to the pernicious doctrine of maximizing shareholder value.
We just moved to grafana from New Relic and it makes me angry just to try and look at monitoring, we have lost so much utility.

I feel freshly inspired in my productivity since I've started using AI tools.
You may have to install extra voices somehow, looking at the manpage for say, it seems like 'say -v ?' would list the voices installed, but I don't seem to have any (like Whisper), though plain old 'say "hello world"' does do a robotic voice which must be the default.
A nice feature I discovered recently is -a: you can give it a specific audio device, which falls back to the default if not present. I use it to report when builds finish through my monitor speakers in case I'm not wearing headphones. If I'm on the go and don't have the monitor connected it plays through the speakers.
I mean, I agree with what you’re saying… but then again, they aren’t living in 2 different realities. As far as I am aware, there’s still only one reality.

Just because some (potentially most) of these people are delusional doesn’t mean that reality is different for them, just the framework they’re living in doesn’t match objective reality.

And part of all this delusion is a belief that a great many people are idiots, assholes, and irredeemable. That propaganda atomizes us.
