And the beta is for 116. So there is no (sane) way to get the discussed and marketed 115.
Right, so I agree those are examples of grounds on which you should be able to challenge a law (unconstitutionality, conflicts with a law of higher jurisdiction). It's important for those to exist, but they should be limited.

What I take issue with is quotes like the one in GP. "The law is improperly implemented, because it would force companies to pay workers for any time logged into the app." So what? If the city decides workers should be paid for time spent getting their phones repaired, the companies should have to do that to. I don't know what the legal process here is but there's clearly too much of it.

Another choice quote:

> For instance, why would the agency choose to purposefully exclude companies that only facilitate grocery deliveries from its study and rulemaking, when those that facilitate both restaurant and grocery deliveries from local businesses would have these rules apply to them?

I don't know. Why does it matter? People often complain that government regulations aren't able to keep pace with private industry, but it's because of this BS slowing everything down that they can't keep pace! Let's empower the government to actually make rules and give them responsibility for the consequences.

Re politics: it really depends. I work in a field tightly linked to policy, and have contacts in other fields linked to the ecological transformation. Lots of them post politically loaded posts related to their area of expertise (some even selfies in demonstrations), and I think it actually serves them. Basically, it gives trust in their commitment to their topic, and that they are not only there for the paycheck.

I live in NYC, and there are a whole lot of layers to this onion. I'm advocating for safety improvements on a local road that people get hurt and killed on pretty regularly[1]. The DOT has a well-designed change that they've been working on for over two years, complete with community outreach. The change has broad community support, and every single elected official in the area is behind it, from the city council to the state assembly.

However, there are a few wealthy people against the change who can file lawsuits, pressure the community board, and donate to the mayor's office. That seems to have been enough to get the mayor to overturn his own DOT's plan[2]. The change itself isn't even a large-scale capital redesign of the street; it's entirely a plan using temporary repainting, movable barriers, and signal changes. It's exhausting living here.

Edit: If you live in New York and want to voice your support for the aforementioned road redesign, you can do so at https://www.safemcguinness.com

I find the store purchasing experience to be frustrating as well, but if you order online and it's in stock, every Apple store I've lived near will deliver it to you door in 2-4 hours.

If you want to play with a product: go to the store, interact with it, and if you like it order it on your phone while you're there. It will be home not long after you are.

I suggest you try walking around Hellenic or Roman sites with a historian of the appropriate specialization. At least if you want to experience utterly intimidating amounts of “ah that piece of stone is obviously from a temple to Athena because that indisinct lump on its side is clearly an owl’s eye” (and I’m picking a straightforward example because I couldn’t have remembered the genuinely impressive ones if I tried). If future historians find they have an interest in this particular detail, make no mistake, they are going to have a nice relaxing sip of coffee while they spend all of a half an hour to unravel it.

Yet another piece that totally avoids mentioning Facebook. Almost as if instructed…
I love thunderbird but I don't understand their update schedules.

I just now got an update (thought it would be to 115) but it's to 102 [1].

In the release notes of 102 it says it was made public only 5 days ago (and they say 115 is coming soon). And seemingly it can't update to 115? Am I missing something here?

[1] https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.13.0/relea...

[edit] okay it seems 115 is not yet released as https://www.thunderbird.net/ still links to 102. But the Beta links to 116 (https://www.thunderbird.net/de/download/beta/) so I guess they are still moving things around

We don't have a mechanism for retraining professions into other fields (or even adjacent skills) while keeping them employed. The company won't pay for it, the state doesn't care, net result is millions of people losing their jobs and having no path forward. Yes, eventually a new generation of workers with appropriate skills will replace them (somewhat), but that's no consolation for the families who no longer have a livelihood.

It would be a shitty union if they just sat back and watched as all their members became impoverished.
Is it possible to use threads without connecting it to my existing Instagram account?

I know that Zuckerberg said: "You have one identity. The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly. Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity."

But I use Facebook + Twitter to talk mainly about work, science, tech, etc.

I use Instagram for a completely different audience and post about music, art, etc.

Does my threads account link to my Instagram account?
>If I create a program that picks random words from a dictionary

And LLMs do that, except prior to picking the word, they do complex statistics to figure out the probability distributions of those words.

Almost certainly some combination of input and RNG seed will produce any "small" combination of words.
One mutation in a base pair can lead a totally different amino acid (c.f the genetic code), so I doubt it ?
I do not know about Yugoslavia but it is certain that the Ceausescu regime would have ended up in misery either way. Having as a ruler an idiot who is capable of playing opponents against each other and who was enthralled by the prospect of having a personality cult ensures things will never end well for the people.

I would argue that China and Viet Nam aren't good examples either.

What do you mean? Since Java 8 you can assign a function to a variable, pass it as a parameter etc. Lambdas in Java are not pure, since they are converted to objects by compiler, but on user level they have all attributes of first class functions.
You can kinda argue whatever you want when it comes to this stuff. It doesn't really matter. Is the code readable? Does it not make me angry to look at? Yes? Then its good enough. I don't care if the object has one method that probably should be a function. I can still read it fine.
If we’re counting people using a feature of an account they already have as “growing,” WeChat has surely done this faster many times, and many times over. They regularly release apps.

Or iMessage, which was released in 2011 when there were 115m iPhone users. That year, iMessage gained 115m users, since it was bundled with the phone.

The metric is kind of contrived.
> “If sellers are required to enable cancellation through a single click or action by the consumer, accidental cancellations will become much more common, as consumers will not reasonably expect to remove their recurring goods or services with just one click,” the Association said in a statement.

This seems like a non-issue. Shouldn't it be trivial for customers to reactivate their subscriptions if they accidentally cancel?

I know it's a typo!

But this is someone saying they are "an old developer" and blogging about running an OS on old kit, in some depth, discussing what adapters they are using...

And there is no kit. No CPU, no motherboard, nothing. It's all a total fantasy. They are running a PC emulator on an M1 Mac, as far as I can see.

The author, downthread, says they were practising tech blogging.

This is the feedback!

Write about the real stuff you are using. Don't make stuff up -- EVER. No fantasy, no wishlists, no daydreaming. Use real kit, and if you can't, don't pretend.

If you are using an emulator, describe it. Show it. Say how you built it, show what options you picked, what you built it with, and how, and why.

Because this person made a bunch of stuff up, without making it clear they were making it up, and then they got the stuff they made up wrong. Even the facts and claims about the contemporary tools are wrong.

I have no clue about main loops in the Win32 API and I don't care, but I can't trust that that's right either when the rest of the post can't distinguish between a PIC and PCI, and can't count SIMM slots, and doesn't seem to know about the bits I do know.

It it the same issue as this famous Mastodon post from the end of last year:

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

This is a blog post about software development in early MS 32-bit tools. I know nothing about that.

But the blog post talks at length about 1990s hardware, something I know a lot about, and about 1990s MS operating systems, something else I know a lot about...

And that stuff is all wrong.

So it makes me not trust the bits of it that are about the stuff I don't know about, and since that is the core subject of the post, that matters.

Someone was trying to show off their knowledge, and it didn't work, and I am calling it out.
As a current Tesla owner, I’m glad that so many other car brands are adopting the Tesla charging standard because I can now switch away.

The two reasons we got a Tesla were:

1. Charging network is the best by a significant margin.

2. When we bought it, there were no good alternatives. We had to replace our old car and wanted to go electric, and didn’t want to drive ICE while waiting years for the competition.

Now there’s a plethora of EV choices so 2 isn’t an issue any more. By the time this car hits the 10-year mark , everyone will be on NACS.

We won’t be replacing it with another Tesla primarily due to Elon. That extends from his behaviour to his constant penny pinching on features we use regularly.

I always find it odd when people choose this as a metric for success. Why not "a person who went to a school you've never heard of, but has a job they enjoy deeply and that gives them purpose"?
Hi

I'm Solomon Eseme, the author of the piece.

I don't think it's entirely through that the article is misleading.

The article intention it to take readers through a journey from beginners to advanced level, using storytelling to explain technical concepts like containerization and Docker.

If you get to chapter 4, Look the brief where you see the image, You will see all the listed topics that will be covered in the Advanced Part of the article and It will be too long to include them there.

I even indicated with "Let me know in the comments section. I will share it with you."

Then I moved to discussing "Docker Compose" the next topic will continue in the advanced guide.

Docker documentation is great. But it's not every beginner or even advanced developers that understands Documentation at first introduction to a technology.

Thanks for your feedback anyways. I'm still learning and will improve as I write more.
Interesting that Apple sales in China were very low around the time Huawei sanctions were put in effect, but now have come back up.

Pay is generally correlated with accountability, not so much work.

To your point: lazy managers would suffer an accountability hit if something goes wrong with their teams (burnout etc), so that's the incentive for them to manage their teams properly.

They did have a warning on the dashboard, problem is a lot of people don't check the dashboard because they don't need to, as they just view everything through grafana, etc.

There is a choice quote here that hilariously illustrates the ethical bankruptcy of this topic:

>According to the 25th annual RQ study, Tesla’s score fell 6.4% to 74.3 out of a possible 100. Only U.K. energy group BP, best known for the Deepwater Horizon disaster, saw a greater percentage decline in reputation, with a 6.6% decline, from the 2022 results.

The media has whipped redditors up into a comparable frenzy over a guy who doesn't like the large role social media companies have been playing in the suppression of free speech as companies responsible for major ecological disasters.

That is beyond parody.
Others will add the technical reasons that doing so is best practice but I would just add that if one does not want skeptical visitors then HTTPS must be used to avoid browser warnings. Most browsers today will warn the visitor something is wrong if using unencrypted HTTP as a matter of covering the lowest common denominators and not trying to guess if a site has sensitive data. With exception of Tor hidden sites, the days of unencrypted HTTP are behind us and even that exception may get covered should LetsEncrypt decide to handle .onion similar to Harica [1]

DNA mostly relies on the fact that there's 2 strands that are (logically speaking) a mirror copy of each other (a C is paired with a G and vice versa, an A to a T and vice versa), it's like RAID 3 with only 2 disks (one being parity).

Apart from repairing structural damage such as missing bonds, the cell can even repair missing bases or non-straight breaks without loss. This mechanism is also used for replication: the entire strand is split and each half is completed with its mirror counterpart.
Totally. I just mean that logic has to live somewhere, whether in client-side JS or a server. It's not a great practice to just blindly render SVGs out of raw data.
The worst part of these kind of studies and I include sociology and psychology studies is that they are often used to create policy in the private or public sector causing untold damage to organizations, employers and citizens.
I appreciate your sincere questions.

> To clarify, are you advocating for the use of white lies in situations where the truth would do greater harm?

I'm not advocating for truth or lies but for outcomes. Based on this, I think trying to qualify lies is the wrong place to focus.

One reason I'll lie is to convey more useful information. Lets say I have a mild ailment that weird and not easily explained. It's impacting my productivity. People who are impacted need a brief explanation. They don't need a rabbit hole or an organ recital or a reason to lose their lunch. I'll lie. I'll say I have a different ailment, one that signals my limitations and closes the subject.

Other reasons I might lie. To avoid a situation where a truth will cause someone pointless pain. To avoid an immediate bad outcome for someone - that a truth would cause now but would work well later. The deciding factor in play in these two is consideration. Their well being is better served thru consideration than by a rigid rule.

> Or are you promoting lying to larger degrees?

I am promoting consideration for others over a rule that is rigid by it's nature.

Looking at the other side, I will sometimes tell the truth where it isn't well received. Q: Can you keep a secret? A:No.
But find all references doesn't actually work without typescript if your data is passed around enough, and that's an important one for refactoring.
I work for another rental car company and can assure you that the counter does not exist to upsell you. It is there as a convenience to customers that want to rent a car without a complete rental agreement in place (think travel agents, tours, third party discount sites, etc).

I think the easiest solution is to create a second Instagram account. That’s what I did. Instagram supports having multiple accounts signed into the app at once, so it’s not much of a pain once you’ve set it up.

I had an issue where I opened threads before realizing I wanted to create a new Instagram account for it. I had to hard quit the threads app, create the new account on Instagram, sign in with it, then re-launch threads.
The "feature" happens to be a full app that you must consciously download. You must then go through the onboarding flow before finally the number of users is incremented. That's just like downloading any other app. These are not trivial numbers.
