Thanks a lot! I'd love tab groups as well, but I would like to come up with something a bit more efficient than Safari, and this will take a lot of time to experiment.
I read their “/s” to mean sarcasm as in “haha, I don’t really think agile is a CIA thing” and then their question mark to mean “but maybe?”
>we don't think of those humans as less intelligent. No serious intellectual in the humanities or sciences does.

Feels like No True Scotsman. Much of Western colonial policy for half a millennium was based on this very assumption, and their effects echo in their unreformed and unreparated posterity.
I’ve been blogging for almost 20 years. The site isn’t monetized, I don’t have many readers, and I don’t get much Google traffic. But ...

- My posts about developing for iOS in 2008 were found by an editor at Manning and I wrote a book for them. This helped me make the transition to full time iOS development.

- My posts about extending Fogbugz and Citydesk were part of my application to Fogcreek/Trello — I can’t say it “got” me the job, but I’m sure helped me get an interview.

- I’ve been invited to speak at conferences, be a guest on podcasts, and write for Smashing based on people finding my site. It’s not a lot, but raises my profile just a bit.

I would do it anyway, but I’ve had a 30+ year career and I think my blog has been a significant factor in it.
Tell me you've never had kids...

You will "force" (let's admit it's not really force, but more nudging) children to clean their plate because they can't come back later and ask for food anytime they want. Learning to eat at fixed time, and to share a common meal (which is also a social bonding ritual), instead of expecting to be served at any time on a whim and live their life aloof of other's schedules, is part of socialisation and education.
Johannesburg has municipal natural gas lines. They’re more likely to be the culprit here than sewage.
practically speaking, you’re right—but something doesn’t have to be practical to be enjoyable or interesting to work on. lots of people try lots of wild things.

> What about the scale of violence caused by protestors?

Sometimes "law enforcement" infiltrates protesters and incite them to be violent so they can justify their brutality later.

I think they've removed that question now.

In the Rust gamedev community WebGPU has become the de facto API for us to use through the wgpu crate. You don't get all the bells and whistles that you would get working with a backend API directly but being able to recompile to Windows, Mac, and Linux targets and having things just work is unimaginably cool.
I don’t think that’s an appropriate use of the word demise unless your manager friend killed the person in question. Which scummy move, for sure but I hope it didn’t actually lead to their demise.
Looks like that could be the case, yes. Maybe his publishers changed their minds. I know he and Charlie Stross had great difficulty getting Charlie's publishers to agree to a free ebook of Rapture of the Nerds.

It looks like there was briefly a giveaway of Walkaway and as a result it's on the Internet Archive, but I've not checked it.
In the age of "deep fakes" recording the video of someone signing might not be enough.
Unfortunately this is not possible. Unless Apple opens that up, it's up to each app to embed its own content blocker.
No, because to do that you have to have deliberately kept money out of investments, waiting for a downturn.

It only works if you can predict the downturn before it happens, and how low things will go.

And in their last appropriations bill, the GOP nutjobs running the house literally stripped out funding even for that. Fortunately, the Senate will probably put it back, but the GOP are just out-to-lunch on this.

This was precisely my logic as well.

Hopefully it was a happy path!
Indeed, it is a pretty cool system, but every time I look into it I'm puzzled by the variety of costs for essentially the same thing. You can buy a cheapest personal certificate that is recognised as equivalent to a physical signature for contract signing for 50eur for 1 year. Or you can spend 500EUR for the same thing. Some come with a smart card, some don't. For some you get software that works offline, for some you can use open source signing software, for others you get nothing and you need to sign the documents via "their website". Some boast "notary approved" which means nothing. For things that require a notary like real estate transactions you still need a notary. My bank even sells "single use" certificates, good for 15 minutes for 5eur.

It's a nice convenience, but some of the costs are insane.

Honestly, the best experience I had so far was with Redmine.

It can look a little bit rough, and sure there could be lot of improvement.
But it favored efficiency against eye candy design.

It is very easy to have things organized the old way. Having projects, recursive sub-projects.

You can look at your issues at the sub sub project level or at a more global level.

You can easily have list with all the variable that matters. That you can order easily how you need:
Who's the rapporter? Who's the dev? Who's assigned to? What is the state? When was the issue discovered? In which version? Fixed with which milestone?

It is very slick, I did not feel a latency like in Jira, the screen is not filled with useless crux, only what matters fills the screen.
In a few clicks I was always able to find what I was looking for, set and identify all the affected versions and which one got the fixes.
I bet a lot of people already know Technology Connections, but I like to bring up the first video of his that I ever watched at a time like this - that's right, the one about heat pumps!

He goes on this rant towards the end about Midwestern Values and I had been living in Indiana for about 5 years at this point, and nobody ever explained it to me so concisely and bitingly accurate what that perspective was. The short version in a picture of the story is the old man going up two flights on a rickety old ladder to check the roof, because he's been using that ladder for 30 years and it's "perfectly fine." You should get a new ladder, or you'll probably kill yourself!

The ladder is not perfectly fine, and each year he goes on using it the risk gets bigger. But we don't strive for perfection because we're used to "making do" with "good enough" tools. I could never make these my core values. As a professional, I need the freedom to bring my own tools, and as a full-time employee I'm going to need the right tools provided on the job site (because it's not in my contract to provide my own tools!)

As an app dev for non-profit corp whose primary business is not app development, I couldn't hack it here. I still live here, but I work for a foreign company now, on the open source project that I wish we could have adopted to make my life as an app dev a bit easier, or at least a bit more livable.

Your perspective on this classic document (that gets reposted at least once every year) reminds me of this struggle of my own.
Can you cite a source for that? Googling it only comes up with this particular comment.
I mean, some kind of PKI would be a nice start. Preferably with a registry at national level.
Unlike passport or face it's easy to revoke the old key and issue a new one.
In contrast, I find the installer refreshing. Yes, it's text-based, but it's streamlined and for most use cases all you have to do is hit Enter at the prompts. As for the partitioning, I don't know when you last installed OpenBSD, but, with the auto partitioning, you just hit Enter as well. If you wanted to customize the partitioning, it is a bit daunting for the uninitiated, but after you do it a few times it really is just as streamlined as the rest of the installer.
90% of water use in California is agricultural, not urban. Not sure about Arizona but it’s probably at least close. The city water problem is smaller than you think. Cities don’t directly use much water.

I do think we will be forced by climate change to relocate some agriculture. We probably won’t be growing water heavy crops in the Southwest in 50 years.
Cool, can you share some of the publicly available information then?

I interviewed at DB around 2018, and from that experience (what's the worst thing about working here, I asked my interviewer. The politics, she replied) plus that of all my friends who spent time there, this article rings pretty true.

But I'd love to get some more up to date info, so would be happy if you could share.
I have experience with the Irvine Company as well. There were decades where they were not in control of the city. Before Blizzard, before Google.
This seems a perfect use for LLMs.
At the risk of not fully slaking your thirst for orthogonality, I discovered just now that Google Drive does indeed have user:group:world access control. You can share to specific users with Google accounts. You can also share with a group: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/13004062?ref_topic...

I was rather shocked to learn that the mechanism for creating groups, in the sense of access control, is the Google Groups product, also known as collaborative forums, or one of Usenet's modern homes. And this feature works for individual users as well as Workspaces for Business. I just created a Google Group consisting of my three personal accounts, and I shared a Doc with them!

The three levels of sharing persmissions on Drive are: "View", "Commenter", and "Editor". The second level also permits "editing suggestions" which will prompt the Doc owner to accept or reject. These also have semantics for folders.

And then, there is a little options-gear where you can twiddle additional permissions for certain levels of access. In my personal account, they're permissive by default. Meh.
"Irrelevant" and "critical" are far from subjective in a business organization. The goal is clear: make more money. Everything either contributes or detracts from that goal.
Regardless, you can easily find the ebook online which Cory Doctorow won't have any problem with

The EU, although the UK is looking at introducing something similar.
It's bad incentives.

I'm not particularly in favour of replacing the humans with AIs, but honestly, between a human drone whose incentives are sapped, and an AI I can prompt engineer at least somewhat, I'm reasonably certain I can get more out of the AI than the drone.

What we should be looking at is strict requirements on human customer support. Not "in the AI age" but IN GENERAL. If a company fails customer compliance, it should be dead-easy to prove, report and get actioned. This is feasible.

I had billing issues with Ring a while back. Their CS phone line was broken, their email was auto-reply-only, they had no legal email point of contact. My only recourse was to go through a lengthy EU-wide mediation process (which I did, and resulted in fuck all).

There's a power imbalance that needs to be straight up fixed. Companies don't need to care about providing good service, complying with local laws, hearing their customers or really... anything. Once they have a good amount of customers they just have the inertia necessary to stop giving a fuck.

This is what we need to fix.
> I can draw literally any scraggles and they’ll accept it. Are they supposed to compare to the signature I put on my card?

This is because we have video recording, PIN input, card not present payments and lots of other ways to prove the cardholder approved the payment. That said, if you are a merchant and want lower fees by requiring signatures, make sure you compare signatures with the back of the card, and make damn sure the card is actually signed (no by looking at a driver's license). An unsigned card signature dispute almost always ends up costing the merchant.
Colloquially I think you may be right, but the dictionary definition makes it appropriate here:

Safari doesn't have an adblocker, but delegates to the ones you can install from the App Store.

I totally understand that lacking a content blocker can be a deal breaker for some people. I wanted to ship my app to the App Store quickly in order to get user feedback.
In the US, it would probably be the case that someone in the lawyer's office is a notary and/or they're one themselves.
Well ... I think we have many problems in these modern IT times ... The first is that we are drowning in new IT technologies that are released every day and it is impossible to keep up with them ... Many languages, frameworks, tools ... After 25 years in this field, I am very sceptical when I read a CV on LinkedIn of a person who is an "expert" in 10 or 20 different technologies or languages (it is simply impossible). On the other hand, we have companies looking for "gurus" in several areas with many years of experience... just unrealistic expectations.
Apart from a limited minority of true geniuses, all of us mere mortals need time and projects and work and a lot of failures to develop expertise in any field.
On the other hand, in the 'real' world of work, it is not enough just to be technically competent. You need a lot of other skills that are equally if not more important: willingness to learn, ability to evaluate technologies based on requirements and constraints, integrity, honesty, self-organisation, curiosity, ingenuity ... logic. At the end of the day, it is a balancing act between technology, resources, money, time constraints and human relations, not just writing code or knowing everything about one or more tools that may become obsolete in a week.
I couldn't find it in the API guidelines either. From what I understand, the idea is that any trait bounds, which includes generic type parameter bounds and lifetime bound on a type (struct or enum) would be repeated back in the impl block

there is a nice discussion on this issue here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/1689

These electric bikes are capable of speeding someone up to 25mph+ unassisted, with me (an averagely trained cyclist) being able to hit 40-50mph on flat ground with effort. They aren’t coming for your kid’s pedal bike.
I really hate this re-introduction of visas but under a different name. Like if you want all foreign visitors to get a visa, say it! Don't say it's visa free but also make me fill out a form to get permission to enter that may or may not be accepted.

Like, either allow visa-free travel or don't.
Haha thanks a lot! As stupid as it may sound, that close tab button has been a total game changer to my daily browsing :)
No one's saying you don't have mealtimes, this all happens at a mealtime. You just don't overface them with huge (to them) one-shot platefuls and make them eat it with a combination of threats and guilt. They can ask for seconds if they want, strictly at the same mealtime, and it's obviously better for them to take less at first and do that rather than take too much because then they actually do have to eat it all.

They will quickly learn not to undereat and expect to be allowed to raid the snack store later (not that we had a snack store as such, but even if I knew there was, say, a cake to be had, "consequences of your own actions" would be the phrase used while being firmly denied access).
Does it save the content of open tabs?

This is my number one frustration with existing iOS browsers - when I come back to tabs without an internet connection everything is gone.
It depends on the type of conference. My wife went to a politically focused conference recently and while there were some paid speakers there were a lot of speakers who got stage time by virtue of paying the $2000 or so for a booth on the floor of the conference.

She said these speakers were annoying as they’d try to keep talking when they’d run out of time and the sound guy would have to resort to cutting their audio or playing music loudly to get them to get off stage. Everything but the long pole with a hook basically.
Every single company that did mass layoffs still has a greater headcount today than it did pre-2020. The layoffs were a function of the overhiring that happened in 2020-2022, nothing more.
You can always take a class from an org like Stop the Bleed or NOLS that trains regular people. We can’t predict how we’ll react in emergencies we haven’t drilled, but I bet even a little bit of training goes a long way.
You bet'cha, but that depends on your definition of "text games" --- no, even your definition of "text". Is a game that uses ASCII art text based?

There a whole universe of "text games" (literally, games consisting of text only) and in that universe there is a galaxy of "text adventure/interactive fiction" type games. For me personally, the latter are games that are predominantly defined by being parser based games; think "go north" type games.

The Nordland trilogy (not even sure if it was ever translated to English) is a parser based role playing game; Oregon Trail is a choice based simulation game, Empire Wargame is an ASCII based strategy game, and so on and so forth.

And there are still text based games of all coleur being released today.
And you are right to point that out, because all those senses ("horn thrust and paw slam", "domesticated vs savage") are backformations. We adopted them because they made sense.

The real origin of the terms is from the early 1700: "seller of the bear skin before the bear is caught" - old proverb - was called the player that tries to deliver goods after their price has fallen (so a seller in advance). In 1709 the term was in fact 'bearskin'.

Ten years later the "bull" was introduced as a counterpart - this time probably with relation to the images.

Natural gas lines are very unlikely to explode on their own. Unless something extremely serious has gone wrong, they only contain methane, without oxygen, so even if they're cut and ignited all you'll get is a localized fire where the leak is.

Much more likely that natural gas leaked into an existing void containing air... such as a sewer line.
Yep, from the UK and remember all the fearmongering about ID cards being like a step back towards Nazi Germany and being asked to show your papers on the streets and all that.

I think the real reason was that it sounded like it’d cost £60 (or close to that) per ID, which is pretty damn expensive when it’s mandatory. Most of that money would have been sunk into the black hole that is the IT consultancy industry in the UK, with literally no guarantee of a working solution being built.
Closed the tab on the original, better response. Sigh.

I don't use usbip, but it's an easy setup. I do use kvm/libvirt. Tailscale didn't exist when I built everything, but the documentation is excellent, and I could replace most of this with similar convenience.

Everything I'm mentioning here is locally hosted.

I connect via either wireguard or Unifi Teleport, depending on which network is needed. Wireguard connects to guacamole which manages connections to more secure core services, controllers, and shares. Unifi Teleport allows easy access to surface services like a book server, IOT, NVR, webuis, APIs, etc.

Chrome remote desktop is much more convenient than I expected, and I use it to connect to friends' systems or to hop onto graphical instances that I don't care to set up lasting connections to.

My three primary nodes are for GPGPU compute, "big" jobs, and storage. I've removed most IPMI/IPKVM to allow more flexible consolidation and upgrades. My "OOBM" is now UPS with remote power plugs with always-on BIOS settings. Once things gracefully halt, I can kill power if/until needed (my downtimes are all planned, but I reserve the capability).

I've greatly simplified over the past half decade so I can focus more on using than administrating, and while I haven't removed all of it, I try hard not to create environments more complicated than I can understand after not being touched for a few months.
>If you want to hold it against them....

From 2018 to 2022, 95% of HN comments on the subject were against any form of Ads. Those who stood up for ads, were the absolute minority.

But then I guess you are right. Because those group of people are also the ones "ranting against all of capitalism".
All right. A conspiracy of big, bad business... That surely makes for rational conversation.

Fair enough, for message boards it's fine. I think I was mostly just thinking about old/sloppy WordPress sites where you might click on "about us" and it takes you to ?page_id=1234. Feels like a lack of attention to detail compared to /about-us. Similarly, a binary surrounded by a bunch of folders and dlls feels like a lack of attention to detail (and thus kind of "corporate" as the previous poster mentioned).

Higher minimum wages are the last thing those people need. We're talking about the least productive workers. If minimum wage is $20 and their labor is only worth $10 then no one will hire them at all. They will remain dependent on handouts and never have the opportunity to gain real work experience.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) of 2008, medical insurers are already required to cover mental health the same way they cover physical health. The issue is not so much with insurers but availability of providers. It doesn't matter whether your insurer will pay the claim if you can't get an appointment with a local psychiatrist in the first place.
