That sounds pretty standard: normal questions can be a chat message; when it's useful to have an answer soon then SMS or call, or check if they see the message within a minute depending on your urgency. If it's an emergency and the call got pushed away or went unanswered, of course I'll just keep calling. Pretty common sense methinks
Me: going into the store after finishing up a call, call my wife to try and find her

My wife: phone on silent

Me: wander around the store for 5 minutes to find her

My wife: oh sorry my phone was on silent
I’ve used old xstate visualizer (like 4 years ago) as a communication tool to review flows with domain experts before implementing something, made conversation and spotting problems so easy
This seems pretty easy to test right? Put on The West Wing (early 2000s) and see if you can keep up. Put on any reality show from the last 5 years and see if you can keep up. I can do TWW, I can't do Bachelor in Paradise. Case closed IMO.
I used to install qmail fairly often on different Unix-like systems. I remember the installation instructions clearly setting out the limits that should be set on its processes, and I remember following them.

It sounds like the Debian packager didn’t follow the instructions. That doesn’t seem like the fault of the software.

Yeah, the white on yellow could be improved, but the page is pretty good in ways I care about most: it loads quickly, it has decent information density, it gives me all the information and links I want right on the landing page, and it doesn't use anything that would interfere with skimming, such as lazily loaded images or animations.

I do agree that your [2] example is great.
Sometimes it's fun and interesting just to see what we have in common with historical people, rather than judging their relative ingenuity or lack thereof.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Thomas Merton! He was a truly wise man and I have several of his books (highly recommend Zen and the Birds of Appetite and The Wisdom of the Desert!) and enjoy his "The Way of Chuang Tzu ". But Merton wasn't a translator and was instead arranging others translations, as well as interpreting passages in his own way. So while I'd certainly recommend his books I wanted to stay within the bounds of direct translations.
It's imperceptible in the same way covid was. People spend billions of dollars on mitigating it. Some people spend their life efforts on it.

The predictions would ideally fail, and that's because people take them seriously. It's fine for you to not take action, as long as someone does.

Singapore props up the land around their area to prevent rising sea levels. Not everyone can do this. Indonesia chooses to migrate their capital city away from Jakarta. It affects some professions - fossil fuels companies will have to become energy companies.

As long as the larger organizations consider it a priority, I think we'll be fine. But in many places, they do not, and that's where we have to take action. Like someone said on a meteor thread, if a meteor was going to hit Houston, most people will just ignore the warning.
Exporting to .xls files it's pretty bad, so it's a no for sharing. Unfortunately, Google sheets does a better job here. I assume cloud office is the best in this case but haven't tried it.

I wish they had taken this advice instead of just giving up.

A massive part of the value of flash was the authoring tool. It let non-coders make interactive things easily by just adding code straight to their designs.

Having non-coders able to express their ideas like this is good and I miss it. The next closest thing would probably be Unity, or maybe Effects House / Spark AR for making insta and tiktok effects. But these are obviously totally limited to their own platform.

Nothing has truly replaced flash for this purpose.

I personally would rather not use a pre 1.0 release of an entirely different programming language to compile my C/C++ projects.
Surprises me too. For decades, we had incremental improvements where more and more privacy and encryption was added to chat apps (e.g.: WhatsApp used to send messages in plain text, then added encryption to the server, then end to end encryption), and then Discord came along with none of that and all the gamers felt a need to use it. Eh?

I was a gamer until just before Discord appeared but what ever happened to things like Mumble and Signal

Afaik, LibreOffice was a fork of OpenOffice because OpenOffice refused to implement quality of life features in a timely manner.

Apparently there was also some footdragging by Sun (because Sun) and later Oracle (because evil) about creating a neutral caretaker foundation to guide development.

Circa 2010/11, the development community decided to do it themselves.

True, LLaMA2 is more like "donating homing missiles to everyone except OpenAI, Google, and Apple."
I have not once heard anyone describe the European Union as populist despite its wildly protectionist policies and its penchant for massive spending on popular social programs. European elites are quite fond of populism then. As long as they can pretend they have a free market inside their special economic zone.

Actual self-identified populists like Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage rail against the EU but would never call it populist, for obvious reasons. I imagine the same for the leader of Italy.
Because that’s a gross oversimplification of things that sounds punchy but isn’t particularly realistic.

Ah yes, biometrics, the password that you can't change and you leave behind everywhere you go and on everything you touch.

Both my wife and I have apple watches. The battery life is bad enough that you have to either charge it at night (and miss out on the sleep tracking features) or charge it during the day for an hour (and remember to go get it once it's charged).

I know the newer near a thousand dollar models can get better battery life but my 2 year old version and her 5 year old version do not last much past 24 hours.
When I need to create diagrams for anything (systems, code architecture, component design, etc) I reach for OmniGraffle on macOS. I've tried to use other tools, but it has served me well for years.

Save for rare cases, I'm really content with the Apple apps: Pages, Numbers, Keynote. And I love the Apple document management. Document always saved and versioned.
Enums are a bit leaky, though, because C# enums can just have any old `int` chucked into them, so you really do need the final arm of the `match`. `(EnumA)100` will compile just fine!

A general observation would be that in-group and out-group behaviour in teens and early stage adults is normal, but normalising the formalism of being in or out is a regressive tendency.

I still use the Pebble as my main smartwatch. I tried out a ticwatch, but got tired of it pretty quickly. The Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel were really great devices, with a great balance of capability and battery life.

The fact that it can easily last a day on a small fraction of the battery has often unexpected benefits too. Forgot to charge? np, just charge while doing something else for ~10 minutes and it will get you through the day anyway. Even less if it just needs to last overnight to use as an alarm the next day.
Who's judging?
casual reminder from an un-cool diesel engine mechanic, these trucks are exempt from most state, local and federal emissions regulation by definition. You can be exposed to not only Methanol and Diesel exhaust but particulate and aerosolized forms of the fuels as well. If there is a fire you can be exposed to soot wax and ash. if the venue is indoors, thats nearly five hours of exposure.

some of the largest monster trucks are also the noisiest and can approach nearly 125 db. if you bring your kids you need to bring ear protection and teach them how to wear it.

eye protection (if youre seated close) is also a pretty good idea. again, the regulations for a monster truck rally are near nonexistent. they are fun to attend though.

Do you really think CBP is in the business of waving through Hispanic-looking-and-sounding people with no ID for whatever reason? I'm not saying they'd get deported, but I wouldn't be surprised at detention/questioning for a while.

Law enforcement usually has ways of checking ID by radio/computer, so it may be a short stop, but still.
Empirically the answer is yes. The more wrongs that have been inflicted upon you, the greater your moral standing. So long as you remember and publicize those wrongs. Because if you don't, others will make it seem like you are the sole villain of history, and they innocent victims.

That is what happens to those who forget history - others will remember a self-serving version of that history, full of tactical omissions, for them.

This supports quoting values. There isn't much JSON would add except overhead and making it a bit simpler to read and write them. I really don't think it's worth the overhead.
Calendar-based versioning gives a good sense of how old a version is. As an end user of LibreOffice this does a better job of helping me stay up to date, and tells me a lot more than semver - what is even the “public API” of a GUI app?

It's much easier to bring your wife to understanding your personal preferences for interruptions, than to bring literally everyone in your life.

In my experience, my wife (like many in our generation) doesn't like talking on the phone so she won't call unless it's something time-sensitive. Meanwhile I've even seen some scammers and robodialers call twice in a row.

OpenOffice was owned by Sun Microsystems and transferred over to Oracle. Most of the devs working on it weren't satisified with how the two handled the project and left to form The Document Foundation, which forked it into LibreOffice.

Shortly after, Oracle killed it completely and fired the remaining staff, however IBM convinced Apache to take it over and re-release it under a more permissive license. Now, OpenOffice is basically a zombie of a project that refuses to die and hasn't seen any new feature upgrades since 2014, while LibreOffice releases ~2 feature upgrades every year.

But it's not completely dead. It does receive some bug fixes and security patches from time to time.

That you even consider a "peanut butter" microservice demonstrates your total lack of knowledge about them. "Peanut butter" is not a business capability, it is an entity. If you try to align services with entities, you are designing a data model, not a microservice architecture and it is inevitable that you will have a mess where any change needs data from a dozen services and business logic is stretched equally thin.

When Pebble died, I switched to a Garmin watch. It replicated the features of the Pebble that I held most dear, most importantly, the long battery life and physical buttons.

Sadly, it isn't possible to develop apps for it, though. To this day, there isn't a watch that adequately replaced the full glory that is the Pebble.
I do enjoy, Whedon revelations notwithstanding, that BTVS is in some ways evergreen.

I do not enjoy that one of the defining moments of my adult life -- 9/11, which happened when I was 31 -- is now long enough ago that there are adults who do not or literally COULD not remember it. Time marches on.

I recently had family visit, and all had US model phones , but two were iPhones and one was with an Android.

Luckily we were able to get the Android user a special Passport Pasmo only issues for tourists that expires after two weeks.

You're welcome! I realized I'd be remiss in not mentioning David Hinton as well: he's an American poet who's also a professional Chinese translator and has produced many excellent translations[0] over the years. He has a very distinct translation style were he translates as much of it as directly as possible (which is already difficult going from Ancient Chinese to Modern Chinese, let alone English) and really helps you get how different the thought really is while still keeping the originals poetic quality.

[0] I recommend his translations of the inner Chuang Tzu chapters and the I-Ching, as well as his book China Root.
One of the ways I hate wasting my time is wishing we would stop using a word that has been overloaded into uselessness as if it conveyed some kind of actual meaning by itself.

The article touches vaguely upon it, but “meditation” covers so many different things, many of which are completely incompatible with each other, it’s a guarantee that discussing “meditation” leads to people thinking they are talking about something which they are not in fact talking about.

Anyway.
I think there's a useful distinction with silent notifications. I think someone would have to be crazy to get a beep or buzz for an incoming email, but a notification dot I can check when I see it won't unduly grab my attention.
Often, someone will be explaining something to me, but it's too complex to mentally model, or I'm not familiar enough with the architecture they're describing. So I'll say "I need boxes and arrows", we'll step over to a whiteboard, and it will be cleared up in a few minutes.
OpenOffice only gets enough bug fixes to keep it running but it hasn't seen a serious feature added in a decade. It's dead. Oracle screwed up the governance of OpenOffice and basically forced the fork by not accepting major features for political reasons.

When everyone jumped to LibreOffice, rather then handing it over to LibreOffice, they let it to go live on a farm where all big projects go to die: The Apache Foundation.

The upside is they did assign everything including patents and trademarks to the Apache project though and relicensed everything under Apache's license where LibreOffice is still LGPLv3/Mozilla Public License (MPL) from back when it forked.

Fauna is really cool technology, but I'll note that it lacks interactive transactions as a core design constraint. That does enable a bunch of nice things. However, that means users lose one of the most useful parts of transactional SQL -- simple, safe read/modify/writes.

The only way is to ship all of the "modify" logic into the database via FQL. Given how many times I've seen code that does this unsafely with SQL, probably safe to say that if the bar is raised to "rewrite the logic in a foreign query language" developers will opt for thoughts and prayers instead.
Thank you for explaining this. Looking through the Tides Foundation's own financial reports, I can find only aggregated reports, except for Tide's own Form 990 which says that they gave $3M back to the Wikimedia Foundation in their 2021 financial year (this disclosure I imagine is for tax rebate purposes?).

In any case, thank you for saving £2.20 of my own expenses and the IRS a letter asking about a non-existent 501(c)(3) ;)

2 things:

1. Ignorance is bliss

2. Liberals are conservative; the word you're looking for is progressive. This mixing of words is a propaganda tactic designed to make people unable to understand political discussion. You can't understand a sentence if you don't know what the words mean, and you can't understand what the words mean if you think they're all synonyms.
I think this is why they’re making dev mode distinct from other modes. As others have mentioned though, this comes with several friction points and may actually be more confusing than the people at Figma expected.

That’s not unreasonable or anything either. This is a hard thing to do, UI/UX wise, and it’s a complex set of features being added to an already complex application. It’ll take time to iron out, but hopefully it winds up landing nicely like past features in figma have, rather than like I’d expect adobe features to land.

OO has a right to live on if there are still users and developers. A monoculture is awful. Do you recall or at least know about IE6? We are also seeing the same thing unfolding yet again with the Cr browsers. Not for me thank you.

Just to bing things back into the real world: In the UK there are several first class spoken languages: English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. The Brythonic (literally: British) languages suffered dreadfully but have bounced back somewhat. Cornish is starting to show green shoots and Cumbric might be resurrected in some form. There are some others too. These are the languages from before the Romans and the Angles and Saxons made a few changes hereabouts. I think they are incredibly important and without them, the UK would be severely impoverished. That's just the locally grown languages, I should also shout out to the vast number of languages that have rocked up on these shores and enriched the place, from all corners of the world. Its not a one way thing: the welsh word for microwave is often: "popty ping" - see https://welearnwelsh.com/words/welsh-word-for-microwave-popt... for a better discussion

I hope that OO does get get up and have a crack. We could do with some more diversity. I refuse to denigrate someone else's project - I'm not doing anything better.
