The Enshittification of Politics or the War on Normal People
This use to be more apparent in right wing politics (think Tea Party 2010s) where the extreme wing of the political parties basically orchestrated a hostile takeover and controlled direction and agenda but lately it’s creeping into Democrats as well. I’ll give a concrete example, in NY criminal justice reform is a worthy goal and something to work on but we’ve ended up in place where a convicted (violent) felon on parole strangled his girlfriends son (because kid was being bullied at school), the guy admitted that he strangled the kid. Despite this, at his court hearing, the judge released the guy without bail. I get the need to right previous wrongs, but who wants to be living in a world where a person with a violent criminal past can strangle a kid to death, admit this and be released by the court without bail? I don’t think that constituency exists, or if it does it is vanishingly small. The GOP version of this is stuff like stand your ground laws, or striking down concealed carry permit laws (everybody should be able to shoot whenever they want to). It feels like there is a war on normal people. No normal person wants to live in a world where everyone can be packing and the circumstances which they can be prosecuted for shooting you are limited. Likewise no one wants to live in a world where a person can murder a child and be released without bail same day. At what point does the system totally collapse?
I keep my last phone in my draw in the chance that I lose my current phone I can use it as a backup.

By the time I replace my backup phone with my new old phone the battery is long gone and I'd get nothing if I sell it.

So yes, phones continue to accumulate in my drawer.
Software is hard to change because it is difficult to create and already distributed. I don't think what you said has any relation to the problem.

Hence the "and you like the taste" qualification. I don't think OP is talking about you.
Yes, I forgot about Canada.

So I’d break it down like this: of the 19 countries directly in the G20 (so not counting those only indirectly in it via the EU’s membership) - 1 has high degree of everyday use of non-metric measurements (US), 16 have low, and the other two are in-between, we might say medium (UK and Canada). That leaves over 80% of the G20 in the “low everyday use of non-metric measurements category”.

Unlike the UK, Canada uses kilometres rather than miles for roads, so in that regard is more metric than the UK. Although I’ve also heard that some Canadians do crazy things like use Celsius to measure room temperatures but Fahrenheit to measure oven temperatures.
What a shame that there's no standardized battery format (similar to AA, AAA etc..., but thin like for in phones) so that at least the batteries of those unused phones could be re-used elsewhere or replaced if the battery is EOL. But this would also be useful just to allow removing them to prevent the fire risk of old phones.

Same would actually be useful with the screens, just have a few standardized physical rectangular screen sizes and make them swappable between phones so if one breaks you can re-use the one from your previous phone... (supporting different resolutions should be trivial for the OS)
MS Teams is down
I am hoping the new ios 17 features which let you turn them into static devices with time/calendar/messages will bring some life back to old devices.
> we're the elite

Nice thought, except most of us are morally no better than expensive prostitutes.

> Doctors won't harvest organs to sell.

Many doctors take bribe money from Big Pharma. Also some doctors do crazy stuff like recommend surgeries to fund a new swimming pool.
There's a lot of details in there related to manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, it's not clear how egregious these irregularities actually are to people that don't know this stuff.

So... what does Intas make? What is "an irregularity", what does it mean in plain language? How bad was it there?

Is this going to end up as just needing corrective action, or is Intas now barred from selling in the US?
I'm sorry to hear tthat happened to you. I just wanted to chime in and say one thing, you got this. I've just started college and I'm taking 4 classes while working two jobs and you. You seem to be doing everything a good student should be doing, you're studying, using flash cards, you break the larger problems up into smaller chunks and you plan out your best course of action, you're asking questions outside of school to get more information.

From what I've read and learned so far in my Program and exploration course, this is exactly the types of things a "good" student does. I think you already exhibit the good habits of a good student who is willing to do the work to succeed.

I can't speak for your health but I do know that repetition, deliberate practice and physical exercise help with memory. There was a study recently done that said that older people on who walked on a treadmill for an average 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks were able to retain more information about a story they read than the people who had not exercised. My point is more deliberate "memory" practice and a little exercise may help with your mood and your memory and attention issues.
I wonder if it's cheaper to just pay for a subscription and get access to their API - given that solving captcha cost $1-2.

You're thinking of self-regulating professional body rather than a trade union. Unions fight for pay and working conditions against employers, professional bodies represent the considered opinion of the profession and self-regulate their members, like doctors and barristers.

Interesting but not very intuitive.
> 99% of the book is the musings and activities of an old lady, which are not interesting to say the least. It's not until the last page that the whole story is tied together. If you removed the last page, it wouldn't be a great book

I've read books/watched movies like that. They are certainly memorable, but one problem they have is they're not very re-watchable. For lack of better example I'll mention Shawshank redemption. It's a great movie nonetheless, but the reveal scene is so great that the rest of the movie by comparison feels like a slog you have to put up with to get to the big reveal. Because of that I might've watched it only 3 times in my entire life.
It's not Airbnb's fault though. If the law wants to ban short term house rentals it can. If not, it's fair game for everyone.

Banning would have to include VRBO because they do the exact same thing.

Exactly this, I wish I could upvote you a thousand times.
I used to think “painting is obsolete since we have photographs”.

I later came to realize that paintings can show things photographs can’t, often much more.

Every time you “say” (express) something you are making choices: emphasizing some things and glossing over others. Something strange happens to you but when you tell me about it you skip the extraneous details and focus on what reinforces your point. Taking a photograph, even if not edited (cropped, lighting changed, etc), and even if spontaneous or lucky, is as much about what is not in the frame as what is. In a good movie, we don’t have to wait while the character goes to the bathroom, or while they drive to the store. We just get the part of the story that matters (this is Chekhov’s gun).

All that is true of a painting, but like a story you can make lots of edits, pulling things literally into the frame that are metasyntactic, that a camera would never see.

In a way the sharp literalism of a photo is much too limiting, as it tunes your visual system to focus on the image itself more than what might be expressed.
Right now it's just "Operation failed with unexpected error." and emails with invitations seem to be broken (either not sent or miss some important parts).

i feel compelled to point out that comparing CrossDB with SQLite3 is like comparing apples and oranges. CrossDB is essentially a highly specialized (de)serialization framework for C/C++... and _only_ C/C++. It cannot be extended to work in arbitrary script languages because it requires compile-time mappings of C structs to its database records. That makes it impossible to extend from higher-level languages like scripting engines, C#, Java, etc.

That isn't to say that CrossDB is uninteresting (it is interesting), it's just not _really_ an SQLite competitor because it's only useful in a small fraction of the cases where SQLite is (namely non-C programming languages).
I have a stack of devices that need to get wiped.
It sounds like a dumb way to spend a day off so it doesn't get done.
Yeah agreed. Logic tends not to get much of a look in in policy decisions though.
For consumers to turn in their old mobile devices, a successful effort will need:

- A clear benefit from turning the device in (money, phone will be used to build electric cars).

- A clear instructions on how to do a factory reset on all devices to promote data privacy

- A consistent, well advertised, clearly marked place to turn devices in

- confidence that turning in the device will lead to the outcomes advertised. If you advertise money, and consumers end up getting a rebate form for a check that never come in the mail, or if they see a news report that their phones were thrown in the garbage and not actually recycled, no one will turn in their phone again.
I was wondering whether they finally cut off their abandoned-but-still-working Linux client, but no, it is legitimately all down.

I hope it burns with fiery hot flames.
Most carriers should be able to put together an independently audited process to ensure your old data cannot be mined. Locked boxes, chain of custody, secure transfer, cameras and two people in the room... until the phone is physically destored.

Though it would be nice if they had a get the old data off that dead phone and return to you process. (Which reminds me, I need to setup backups on my latest phone
Yeah, and why stop there - you need to combine dates of sperm creation and egg creation, in the end fertilized egg is just a result of those 2 combining. Since eggs are created somewhere around development of the fetus IIRC, welcome to madness
I just don’t understand why anyone cares about the lab leak theory - proving or disproving. What do you think would happen? That China would be held accountable? Pffft.

Is "Florine" the same as "Flourine", and isn't that what they give children so they get healtheir teeth? I am a bit confused here to be honest.

Edit: Sorry, stupid question, was thinking of Fluoride.
I find any definition of "masterpiece" that requires that a work be largely inaccessible to the public is rooted primarily in classism and gatekeeping.

I wouldn't say that classic 20th century drama films typically termed masterpieces are not that; however, I think that just like any other medium of art, one primary purpose of film as an art form is to entertain, and to dismiss entertainment value as plebeian or vulgar when determining what deserves the title of "masterpiece" smacks of a desire to be not merely exclusive, but exclusionary.
Their internal Phabricator is quite different from the open source version. When I worked there (around 2017), it was definitely miles ahead of anything I'd used before. A lot of how it works is probably... controversial, I guess, but it suited my mental model quite well.
My then 4 year old son forced me to watch Cars 50 times and I still think it’s a good movie.

All I’m saying is, critics gonna critique but theres plenty people who absolutely adore Cars. I mean it has 100% refridgerated air!
Give yourself more time, don't pressure yourself. Probably your brain will be better with more time, you are still 17 and developing. Even if it is more difficult for you now than before, it doesn't mean you cannot achieve anything you want. It will probably take you more time. Be patient, small steps to your goal is still progress.

I would try to find things that make me happy and make me use my brain, for example video games. I think it is a good way to train your brain while you enjoy, instead of watching tv or things like that. And don't forget to make some sport and eat healthy, those two things help with everything.

I am not a doctor, talk to professionals anyway (more than one).
They also drink water and breathe air. Thankfully, making those unsuitable for consumption by any pedophile globally is an ongoing effort already.
One thing that annoys me and I was hoping to find in the article is layout shifts as you are trying to read the page. You see it a lot on low-quality news sites where you start reading then an ad appears pushing content down the page forcing you to re-adjust.

Its such a bad pattern, and it's so common on poorly coded sites.
Would it be say that they're converging on a particular die size?

i.e. CPUs need to be huge to achieve their performance targets, but wafer defects make for poor margins with chips that large, so they split up into chiplets to allow mixing and matching of good parts.

But SOCs are nowhere near that limit yet, so their tiny dies are growing to bring more more functionality on-die and reap the benefits of integration.
Google Stopped Maintaining GoMock

Closest you’re probably gonna find is a Fairphone phone, it has user replaceable modules quite similar to what Framework does for laptops.
Most people doing software are salaried, not hourly, so this doesn't really apply very cleanly.

Would you rather get paid $100k and be paid extra for oncall, or $350k and not be compensated for oncall? That's the real comparison that's being made, and why people consistently choose the FAANGs where on-call is an expectation -- the extra on call pay isn't going to make up for the big gap in total comp.

Hi everyone, I'm the author of this blog post. I'm normally too lazy to polish my ideas into concise blog posts, but I am actively trying to grow my audience on Twitter because I am an aspiring indie hacker, and it seems that having an audience on Twitter makes it more likely that my web apps will be successful. You can find me at https://twitter.com/NathanWailes, please consider following me if you found the blog post interesting.

I'll be happy to answer questions you have.
If you think stimulus serves the same use case as web components, I think you haven’t used it enough or you just got it wrong.

Web components are more comparable to react, vue, svelte, etc. of course you can do anything stimulus do with web components, as you can also with react.

The point of stimulus, which is more comparable to Alpine, jQuery, knockout, etc is that you can just sprinkle behavior on existing server side rendered HTML. Web components and similar can’t do this as they have their own tenplating system, which mean no server side rendering without super complicated build tooling and architectures.

So, no, stimulus has nothing to do with web components. They’re complimentary to each other more than competitors.
This article isn't about natural language or AI, IMHO.

Typing into a keyboard is not natural. Adding buttons makes it even less so.
We don't have AI avatars today. But we will within my lifetime. I'll be able to converse with most any historical figure in VR. We will see each others facial and hand expressions. Let's not go backwards and add buttons. Put your efforts into going forwards.

My Teams client is working at my employer BUT I'm having major issues updating data in a Teams-linked SharePoint list.
Mondays are also seeing less occupancy. Maybe some startups should have people in the office on Monday and Friday, subletting office space from another company on only those days.

I have found that coming in on Friday can be productive since the office is quiet.
A list of videos when Andreas Kling uses the landing page of Shopify at the sample to implement new features or fix the broken ones, mostly SVG/layout related.

Like it was stated in one of the video, Shopify uses a lot of modern cutting-edge web technologies, so display the site correctly is quite the challenge.
You should watch some of his videos if you have free time, it is a pleasant surprise of what Ladybird can do after just some dozen months of development.
The commit mentions this rather sad thread: https://github.com/golang/mock/pull/627#issuecomment-1605169...
I wouldn't recommend going freelance in your situation. It seems like a silver bullet, but it's honestly quite a lot of extra work. In Denmark at least, we have a lot of legal requirements and reporting, that needs to be done if you're running a business. Failing to do most of it in time means being fined or paying interest to the tax authorities. I don't know if it's easier in the UK, but suspect it's not.
It depends on what you enjoy doing, and how much time you really have.

Good bug reports & reduced test cases are always amazingly valuable. Perhaps you have a home page of your own? You can open it in Ladybird and see if you hit some problems. Maybe we throw a surprising JavaScript exception. Maybe our CSS layout isn't quite right.

If you can then reduce the problem to a minimal HTML/CSS/JS example, that's often enough for someone working on the engine to go ahead and find a fix pretty easily. :)

This has to be a joke, like a union would earnestly evangelize privacy and data security practices. It would, no doubt, be captured by activists who care more about DEI and non technical pursuits, and bloat into a bureaucratic monster overnight. A union's job isn't to set industry standards and best practices. And what would stop the companies from using consultants or third parties to implement these backdoors? Nothing. There will always be engineers willing to build things that are 'unethical' ... because money and technical curiosity.
> Locked boxes, chain of custody, secure transfer, cameras and two people in the room

It's difficult to see this being profitable. Or even possible, given the meagre training most carriers' employees at physical stores seem to have.

Easier: a device that shreds the phone onsite, in front of the customer.
>And then there are films I have not seen yet but I am told are clever, inventive and beautiful -- Coco, Inside Out, Soul.

you should watch both coco and soul.

coco is beautiful. it's a love letter to mexican culture.

soul is not only quite beautiful but the soundtrack... oh! i mean it's trent reznor, atticus ross and jon batiste. it won both a grammy and an oscar!

Somewhere around a third of the country rents.

Of those that are homeowners, only a subset will both have a garage and enough bays to fit all the vehicles they own.

Does a substantial portion of the population have easyish access to charging at home? Sure.

Is it so universal that just hand waving concerns about accessibility to charging is reasonable? Not even close.

You could be right but thats a big gap between "could likely do well selling..." and actually having a market and reliable customers.

What if thats not their business model? What if it requires hiring or finding a dedicated ARM developer? What about security? If a zero day comes out now what you have (3) different architectures to support and test. Even if they offered it as a supported solution would most of the people complaining fund the work through support. Probably not, because they expect the software to just "work" for them, for free.

I looked through the forum on one of the first ARM[1] posts and as expected (2) pages in and it becomes a tech support thread for people who want to try the latest but be handed the answers. For a project where they document[2] the development workflow, architecture, and environment its a bit difficult to understand the complaints when its opensource. Clone the repo and get to work.

Does it contain Fluorine (a dangerous halogen gas) or does it contain Fluoride (the ion of that gas, commonly added to toothpaste and drinking water).
Don't give up on the GCHQ idea. As a large public (in the business sense) organisation they will be hot on "reasonable adjustment" and possibly interested in the diversity of thought/opinions resulting from your horrible attack.

For consumer benefit? No. It's technically possible. But it's simply not how the structure is framed or incentivized.

I was once in the Orsay museum, and realized that the Van Gogh paintings are nice enough to put in the kitchen; which unfortunately is a bar too high for 99% of existing paintings in the world. For some reasons, many painters do not try to make beautiful things, or they are incapable.
Here is what the article is actually about in case you can't decipher it from the title:

Canada has launched a bid to attract techies working in the USA on the notorious H-1B visa, by offering them the chance to move north.

The offer, announced on Wednesday as part of the nation's first ever tech talent strategy, means H-1B visa holders can move to Canada without having a job waiting for them.
it is also worth pointing out that there is an nascent increase in guns in addition to knives now. Plus fighting back often leads to academic consequences even in cases of self defence. I was placed into a behavioural management program the one time I fought back.
On the flipside, policy makers don't really understand the societal effects of a policy like this either. They're narrowly focused on one specific perceived benefit (a tool for law enforcement), while ignoring all other consequences.
These are exactly the kind of immigrants any country should be desperate to have.

The majority of costs a person will typically have on a country are their initial K-12 education, and their health care costs later in life. Immigrants like these will never cost the government that first major cost.

At the same time, they are far more likely to have higher than median salaries when employed. That means higher taxes paid.

So from a purely economic point of view, an H-1B immigrant is a perfect profit center for government taxes.

Meanwhile a Canadian who gets their K-12 education here, gets a highly government subsidized post-secondary degree, then moves to the USA to work and pay taxes there is a huge loss, economically.
