If you're so fixated on Washington state, you should really learn its history. And also British history. They're very different places with very different politics. You're comparing a flyover state (speaking as somebody born there) to the center of a colonial power.

That's right. So in the case of credit card numbers we redact it like [CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER_1], [CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER_2], etc so the LLM can still answer prompts like "how many", but it can't answer prompts like "sort". But you can use OpenAI function calling API to do the sort, where your function re-identifies, sorts, and then de-identifies again.

It's a great story, but at least in the software world, this sort of thing is exponentially more difficult to pull off today than it was 10 or 15 years ago. The internet was the most economically revolutionary invention of all time. Sell to anyone! Connect anyone in the world instantly! It created a lot of low hanging fruit. So much that it took 20 years or so to grab it all. However, in 2023, all that low hanging fruit is gone, and the market is largely saturated. A quick Google search of nearly any idea will pop up at least a handful (sometimes 30+) of established competitors fighting over scraps, none of which ever have a chance of achieving Atlassian-level success. Even B2B SAAS is reaching that saturation point. The golden age of the garage tech startup becoming a billion dollar business in a few years are probably behind us.

It's such an obvious dark pattern; I'm really surprised Apple accepts this from Google, but I expect there's some mutually assured destruction horse-trading that goes on behind the scenes with players this large.
Chrome got to do it with Gmail/etc. when they were ramping up, so I don't see the issue with Edge doing it.

Edge has another funny behavior where if you go to a Chrome extension page, it says you can install the extension. However, Chrome puts a web-page warning over the install button to block it and try to get you to install Chrome again.

It's clear companies value being your default browser.
command shift 4 already saves a file, maybe you were thinking about command + shift + control + 3?
What is the alternative? Apple is the only other major investor in a web browser and frankly they have little interest in making any sort of progress on the web. The web would have been dead already if not for Google.
Reading the article, I'm recalling the "Social Credit" episode of Black Mirror. My my, it seems to be coming true --

> Five stars is good. Everything else is bad. For riders, a couple bad ratings don’t mean that much, but for drivers they could be the difference between maintaining access to the app and being deactivated—gig-speak for being suspended or fired.

I'm only being a _little_ dramatic. I swear.

I have doubts that we're getting an accurate story here, I know it's trendy to hate big companies but this seems like a really stupid thing to do and something you're likely to get caught doing if you're doing it on every truck.

Anyone buying used delivery trucks knows they get driven all day every day until it's uneconomical for the owner to continue operating them. Hundreds of thousands of miles. It would be very unusual to see one for sale with under 200k miles, that's "just getting broken in" for trucks like this.

I'm even surprised that these trucks have mechanical odometers. I havent's seen one in a passenger car in many years, they are all digital, rarely fail and (I assume) would be harder to tamper with.
It's worth a thought whether you can trace generational wealth back to a time when people were enslaving people. I, for example, did some research a while back, since my family has been in America since the 1600's, and I found one instance of an ancestor who "owned" a slave. (In quotes because I accept this is not a legitimate use of the word.) No benefit of that has been passed down to me, and no information about it except my own digging, so I don't feel I'm responsible for that. Errata that I found during that search was she was set free when she married, and I had two (English) ancestors deeper in time who were themselves enslaved by Barbary pirates.
My understanding for that is because Edge implements DRM and allows up to 4k resolutions, which you can't get on other browsers in Windows.

Yes, this dirty tactic will almost certainly work unless we conk them with the regulatory hammer, which we absolutely should. Harder than last time, so that they remember.
There are "100 MIPS" 8051 variants (for some value of MIPS) like the Silicon Labs C8051F360. Not sure that's fast enough for 'modern web', but probably fast enough for a lot of interesting things.
I will suggest a different course of events:

In the 19th century the welfare of common people (in the industrializing countries) started to increase exponentially. Education, property ownership, economic activity, nutrition, energy availability and productivity absolutely exploded within a single generation. Many of the capitalists during that era were aristocrats of some sort, because they already had capital.

The rest of the old aristocracy felt threatened however, they could see that all these newly enfranchised and confident people would soon kick them out of their comfortable positions. So they started movements like the Labour movement (which protested city living/working conditions that were leagues better than peasants') and Socialism (which puts an aristocracy of party officials in charge).

Worst of all, they managed to somehow implant the idea that markets only work when severely constrained by suffocating regulations and dictates, which was extremely effective in killing small businesses. Really what we have now has very little to do with capitalism, how else would you explain the surge in things like stock buybacks which are essentially capital destruction (converting capital to paper valuation increases) or the insane growth of states towards 100% of GDP (which is decidedly not the most productive use of that capital).
Strange to think of, that at some point Jira was a small dream made by a handfull of real people, labeling Jira beer at the office to give devs.
You can even simplify this further by feeding `pbcopy` the key directly using file redirection instead of a pipe:

The rule I follow personally for log levels is:

DEBUG - anything which would otherwise be a 1 line code comment

INFO - all business process relevant actions. Anytime something is committed to a database is a fairly good place to start.

WARN - abnormal outcomes which collectively might indicate a problem. i.e. a warning log should be printed when something succeeds but takes much longer then it should, or if I'm going to fail an action which will be retried later. Anything which logs at this level should be suppressible by reconfiguring the application to define the behavior as normal.

ERROR - Anything which should work, didn't, and isn't recoverable. Actions requested by the user which don't succeed should log at this level, since we're failing to meet a user request.
Or Python world for that matter?

It all seems to be correlated with growth - as in, the fastest-growing areas of the industry, ones that are hot and considered a career gateway, attracting the largest amount of outsiders - are the biggest circuses on wheels.

This isn't an article, this is just whinging that things aren't perfect.

"Log Levels Don't Mean Anything"

If you're not handling log levels correctly, you've just thrown away half the utility of logging. The author doesn't even make an argument here, he just lists a bunch of different log levels and moves on. You should absolutely rely on logging levels in your applications.

"No consensus on what logs are even for"

They're for an application to tell you what is going on. Come on dude.

"Maybe I'm wrong about monitoring."

You're not wrong (well, about being a pain), you just should get a different job. Monitoring is hard, yes. But it's very beneficial, despite being highly imperfect. It just doesn't benefit you to build your own monitoring stack. Pay someone else to do it, accept that it's not going to be the Platonic ideal of computer science theory, and move on with life.
A rating for Uber is silly. It's just a ride to get you to A to B, having a five star rating system is what creates a situation where leaving a 5 star review i the 'only acceptable rating'

I think maybe it should just be a few simple questions that are yes or no, based on did the driver follow procedures, get you to your location, provide a suitable vehicle etc. Maybe these questions are randomised so you only get asked one or two, to make the survey quick with riders that get a low yes rate on a certain question, having that question asked to more future riders to rank if it really is an issue or not, the app could even let you filter out riders based on certain feedback criteria if something is important to you.

I have to disagree with this. In most cases I will say it is true.

But as people here should know, people have had issues with Uber Drivers and I am sure there are scales of acceptable behavior.

Not being a woman, I can see were some divers could somewhat hit (even unconsciously) upon some women. In many cases it is not be worthy of reporting, but I believe when that happens I would say a less than 5 should be selected.
The Android text looks nice but the logo looks ugly, the green is darker. Well at least the new Android Studio logo looks nice.

Or just "was this ride experience better or worse than your previous ride" for every ride apart from the first one you ever take. You could then use the Elo rating system to track driver scores.
I think a median rating of 5 stars makes sense for a taxi service. You want the rating system to be able to express varying levels of bad. There are many levels of bad outcomes for a car ride. There are not many ways to improve on the median experience.

> There is a lot more history about Slavery than in just in the US.

This article notes up front that it's specifically about slavery in America.

> What matters is how people view this practice now and understand the full history of it.

As an American, my take is that many Americans aren't bothered by it, in part because they don't know much about it. Many of those same people are laying a foundation that prevents current and future generations from learning about it, much less understanding it.
Honestly I'd lean towards naive.

If anything, suspect on a national / global scale there's far more capacity for society to hold people and organizations accountable than any time in history.

Neat idea, but making this a cloud based SaaS makes it useless for us.

The politically correct language police have got us so confused about sex and gender that we don't understand our own language anymore.

Ships aren't female to English speakers. Rather, they're tagged with the feminine gender. Linguistic gender is separate from sex; it just happens that in English, although gender is almost completely dead in the language we still happen to tag females as "feminine gender" and males as "masculine gender".

The reason for the associations are more or less random. They vary from language to language, and don't seem to have much to do with whether you'd think of something as "manly" or "related to pursuits of the fairer sex".

In French and Spanish, the gender assignments of some random words:

pencil m m
truck m m
house f f
building m m
store m f
fortress f f
navy f f
military f f
castle m m
shoe f m
boot f f
hat m m

So in both French and Spanish, fortress, navy, and military are all feminine, while pencil or hat are masculine? While other words like store and shoe change their gender from language to language.

There's really just two coincidences together that cause all this confusion:

1) For what little gender English has, it happens that there are two genders. That's not true for other languages. Lots of languages have many genders.

2) Many other languages have gender but don't even concern themselves with "masculine" or "feminine". According to wikipedia, The Bantu language Ganda has "10 classes called simply Class I to Class X and containing all sorts of arbitrary groupings but often characterised as people, long objects, animals, miscellaneous objects, large objects and liquids, small objects, languages, pejoratives, infinitives, mass nouns". No confusion about females being feminine here, and so forth.

In your tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGUJCCPDWNE you're using linode 4gb ram 2cpu with dedicated CPU which costs $36/month. So how you can realistically get less than <$1 cost/seat/month?
Apple sells the ability to be part of an 'in-group'. People don't buy their phones for their computing abilities, they do it to have access to other Apple users.

Its a psychology trick that took decades of marketing to pull off, but they are deeply entrenched as someone's identity. These users have a religious devotion and will defend them, because an attack on Apple is an attack on them and their group.

If you don't care about a corporate in-group, you are most likely wanting a quality computing platform. Which is why people are so hard on Google an Microsoft when they restrict computing.

This is total nonsense. Read Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell.

In a free market companies that are making large profits quickly find themselves with competitors. People that do a better job cheaper are the winners.
Eventually a balance happens when several companies are making minimal profit.

Breakdowns occur when government interfere and let certain companies get an unfair advantage. Usually high regulation requirements that only certain companies can met.

Inflation is happening because the government is printing money like crazy. Same reason it happens all counties where money isn’t worth paper it’s printed on.
There are lots of uber experiences that are less than 5-star but do not rise to this level.

I had a driver in LA who was both a terrible driver and terrified of freeways. With 3 near-misses and the bad route, it took 50 min to go somewhere that would otherwise take 15, making me late for a meeting (the LA area has some communities that are physically near each other, but separated by hills/mountains that are otherwise basically impossible to get around). 1 star seems merited for someone who literally can't do the job.
> Every 3 rides, you get asked "Which one of the last 3 rides did you like the best?".
