$3k is a lot of money and I already bought 4k monitors, desk, etc..

MacOS seems to have pretty spotty monitor settings stability, I'm regularly having to fix a setting that was forgotten for no reason.

Activating PIP mode on my 4k monitor causes OSX to shit itself as it rearranges everything, which is odd because there is no perceptible change to OSX's understanding of my monitors. This means my 4k monitor is somehow reporting PIP as a change in monitors (basically snitching on me) when I'm PIPing in an unrelated device.

Ubuntu, Debian, Garuda don't have this behavior. They remember settings better and don't shit themselves when PIP gets activated.

For reasons like this, I'm skeptical that Apple Vision Pro will do a great job at the monitor replacement angle.

However, I'll follow that closely and probably wait for a gen 2.
Installing an MFA token in your phone is just using a convenient place to keep tokens, not an imposition on you.

Objecting to being asked to keep MFA tokens on your phone is like saying 'where am I supposed to keep this keycard to get into the building? In my own personal WALLET?'
I disagree. The general user has no control over the code executing. It's an application written by someone else. When that application is utilizing a core, then it's utilizing a core and this is what this metric is (correctly) telling us. If you're in the business of writing software and trying to squeeze the most out of a core then you use different tools.
Apparently those kinds of people consider you to be the one with the communication disorder. I consider them incapable of writing an abstract.

> The only way they're going to be more environmentally friendly than LEDs is in situations where they're rarely going to be on. Because they use a lot more energy when on.

They use less energy if they are dimmed than when they are blasted at full power. They also allegedly last loads longer (will see).

Also, I am yet to see supporting evidence that LED bulbs are e2e more environmentally friendly in terms of manufacturing and clean recycling than say tungsten bulbs.

> So if you have a storage shed that you're only going to look in once a week during summer, and then only for a minute or two, incandescent bulbs may be a great choice. But not for a living room where light is going to be on every evening for hours.

The opposite. If I need to find something in a dark storage shed I need very bright white light for assistance. That's not great for the bulb. While the key benefits of the bulb is it's easy on the eyes, dims with absolutely zero flicker, easy to wind down to sleep. Completely wasted on a shed.
Interesting! I'd never thought about that before.
> if i am not writing or editing a file, just doing nothing, then why FS breaks?

For a few reasons, but the most common is that when you write a file, you 'fwrite' operation doesn't typically immediately write blocks to the disk, instead it gets written to caches that will be written to disk in due course. Changes to the disk, tables with crucial data, etc again are just updated in memory, and written to the disk at a 'sensible' time. It's possible that you aren't actively performing operations to modify the disk, but various previous changes are sitting in memory waiting to be synced. If you kill the power then these changes aren't flushed so you can end up with corruption/filesystem problems. The main reason things work this way is for performance.
I suppose it's because residents in the nicer parts of town are very active about not changing the "neighbourhood character" and consequently murals are not permitted unless they're already there.

EU’s top court sinks legal basis for targeted advertising on Facebook
> but that's unsmashing the glass and is fundamentally impossible

I think it's the exact opposite. Musk could roll back most of his hated changes and most users would be happy with that. Staff up a bit to deal with stability and legal problems, and all along the way advertisers would slowly but surely return to previous or greater heights. Twitter still has its network effects and would have its benefits that reduce churn/attrition. As a tool and social space it would still be just as valuable to users as it was a few years ago.

Some of the alternatives look better for now, but they haven't yet had the influx of crypto bots, hustlebros and annoying legions of sycophants that Twitter has been purposely changed to magnify. Reversing course and even making some of those things better (e.g. bots) could even be a net gain for Twitter and its users.

But the thing is, users would still dunk on Elon mercilessly for his buffoonery, and for backing down. And he sees those kinds of personal slights as far more important than Twitter's success (or lack thereof). So yeah, from his perspective and his alone, you can never unsmash the glass. Much of the changes so far have become ride-or-die because they are a matter of Ego.
Well, you know, there is a way to share your work without putting others down or being dismissive.

It's really valuable (and sometimes even enjoyable) for others to read (or even participate in) a conversation between two (or more) knowledgeable individuals who share their perspective and explain why they made the choices the made in their implementations (hint: here's where he could share some of their work!).

In fact, this is the polar opposite of that and it's just sad.

I think this is probably a good thing. Even in the early 2000s, having phones in the classroom was mostly a distraction (texting, or having the ringer on and distracting others) or vehicle for cheating (also texting in those days). The only downside is in emergency situations where children should have some agency to contact family. If children could be trusted to turn their phones off at the start of class and leave them in their bags, that would be great, but I get the impression from teachers that that isn't the case.

The thing with languages is that we'd create those words if we actually needed them. There's no reason to have individual words for a lot of those terms and even the linked site mentions that some of the sources of the Chinese terms are from English.

English is already bastardised enough imo, we don't need an individual word for every technical term from every industry, that would just be ludicrous.

Western modern culture has this nihilistic stroke of loving everything that is ugly and decadent.

For some unknown reasons, a certain segment of the petit bourgeoisie became convinced that is some sort of being highly sophisticated and cultured to pretend to love this kind of garbage.

Living in the late stages of capitalism is funny like that.

GPL is nothing but a legal tool, and it's entire purpose is encoded into its decades old verbose wall of text - unless you try to game the license with things like GPL shims, compliance with the text means compliance with the spirit: if the product recipient can get source code access, all is good.

FOSS is not GPL, GPL is not FOSS. Licenses are a very small part of what we consider the modern free software movement.

Google Pixel Fold Review: Foldable Phones Are Improving
In your particular case, you have identified a problem (restaurant owners finding it difficult to keep their online menu's up-to-date).

Is the problem real? How did you find out? Talking to a few restaurant owners (who are keen to discuss) is the starting point. This will also give you insights into other adjacent problems (eg. why should I have to update my menu on my internal database and web portal?).

Is the problem worth solving? How often the restaurant owners need it? Is it important enough that they will pay for it? Do you believe you need to bill for it, or give it out for free to build the base for a future paying product?

As pointed out in the comments, go-to-market is really important. In your particular case, you have the opportunity for self-service acquisition, or via affiliates, or via partnership with Uber Eats, Yelp etc. to simplify on-boarding for restaurants. Go-to-market becomes a deal breaker as soon as you have a good product-market-fit.

Yeah, that one hasn't aged too well. We've all seen the backswing to statically typed languages. Yes, some of them (e.g. typescript) run on top of dynamic langs, or allow for VMs (hi, WASM!). Why? Because ironically the same famed flexibility that makes it oh so easy to whip up a prototype is biting us in the ass when it comes to make a production-grade piece of software while staying on top of the ever changing requirements. So while we have a lot of python in ML (where most things haven't left prototyping stage), a lot of code nowadays is written in languages like Rust, TypeScript, Swift and others.

Not (only) because that's faster to run, but because it's faster to change while still remaining somewhat working correctly. And the current crop of compilers not only can produce stunningly fast code, but also awe-inspiringly great error messages that put the 90's and oughties' cryptic error messages to shame. Try that with a dynamic language!

> That’s considered a radical stance

I don’t think so. I think business wants us to feel that way, while the average person would choose to not hear/watch/see ads given the choice. I’m not necessarily against advertising, and regardless it’s a fact that advertising drives our economy and as a whole we generally don’t know how to create and conduct business without advertising. But I am against the notion that not wanting ads is a radical stance. I think we do need to prevent that notion from being normalized. Business doesn’t get to expect me to watch ads or make me feel guilty or like a freak for not wanting them. They have to work for it.

I say this as someone who has run a business and had to do advertising, and as someone who has never worked for a company or organization that doesn’t advertise.

According to Wikipedia it’s the opposite: a graffiti is a type of mural [1]. However at least in French and in Italian a graffiti is an inscription on a wall, often done as vandalism, while a mural(e) is more like a fresco which often takes the full wall.

As a French, for me this [2] is a mural and this [3] is a graffiti.

Probably because for static text sites the compute cost of TLS is negligible (and we're largely talking about either small personal blogs or the long tail of historic content, so traffic is already assumed to be minimal). In your case, TLS is rather unfortunate since you can just include a crypto hash (or merkle tree or whatever) of the payload in your HTTPS control connection, then just load your video payloads over HTTP and check for a mismatch client-side. Basically, Google is saying they don't trust "you" to get it right.

The bigger problem with TLS is that it adds so much brittleness and complexity (do you know how many times I've broken ACME/LE python dependencies by accident?) and increases the time-to-first-byte for so many sites, especially if you're not getting your hands dirty with nginx and OpenSSL internals.

(Even if you are tuning all the right knobs, one thing we didn't realize was that at some point using an EV SSL certificate (before Chrome removed the UI benefits of doing so) began causing a massive increase in TTFB that there doesn't (didn't?) seem to be any way to avoid, so we ended up moving to regular TLS/SSL certs w/ Let's Encrypt not for the free cost of entry but for the reduced initial connection time. I can't remember the exact details now as it's been some years, but I think with EV SSL there's a secondary cert or revocation lookup to a remote url even if you have correctly configured ocsp stapling.)

These questions are important but they are not the types of questions I am asking about. Part of determining if you want to work somewhere is figuring out how mature the team is when it comes to design decisions and the development process, to accurately ascertain this, you have to ask technical questions, the act of asking these questions is itself an indicator that you yourself are thinking about these important things and as such value them and should, to a well functioning development team with a working product, indicate that you would at least contribute to keeping things working optimally and contribute positively.

I would be worried if someone nevet asked about the thing they were going to be working on, asked why certain design decisions were made, or asked how it gets developed.
The settings for volume, speed, quality, whether to show/hide recommendations, disable autoplay, etc can be controlled and without requiring any login. Also less cruft. On YT proper such things were only possible with userscripts/addons which ime by the time I found Invidious (2020) had already been broken by YT changes so it was an easy switch when used with a browser addon that auto redirects.

Videos can also be optionally proxied in some instances but that wasn't a draw for me.

Normal, non-technical users (including the key ones that produce a lot of content that other people come for) are often already on Instagram, and many are moving more of their presence their recently even without a Twitter-like UI in response to changes on Twitter. So, that’s something Meta can leverage to build Threads if they manage it well.
