Is there a general source of the, seemingly modern day, fascination with keyboards?

I buy the Logitech ergonomic mice and keyboards and call it a day, because they save my wrists but aren't crazy, are easy to buy off the shelf, and integrate well together. For example, I use two different mice and a keyboard across two computers with a single USB receiver with just a simple KVM built-in to my monitor.

In my personal experience with computers, the keyboard is the least limiting factor with regards to my interaction.
Firefox mobile password insert requires 15 actions
[I'm running Firefox Mobile 116.3 and iOS 15.7.7 on an iPhone 7, so perhaps there's a shorter flow on iOS 16 or 17.]

When I arrive at a login screen on Firefox mobile, this is the list of actions I have to take to populate the password field with a password saved in Firefox (when (i) "keep me logged in" hasn't been activated and (ii) the login fields aren't automatically populated, which seems to be the general case for me):

1) Tap "done" to hide keyboard (this is perhaps not always necessary but is if the login fields are automatically brought to focus)

2) Open Firefox main menu

3) Select "passwords"

4) Authenticate with touch ID

5) Tap to activate search field

6) Type first n characters of site URL

7) Tap to select saved login

8) Tap "password" to reveal "copy" modal

9) Tap "copy" to add password to clipboard

10) Tap "Passwords" to step back to list of saved passwords matching typed URL partial

11) Tap "Cancel" to step back from URL search results

12) Tap "Done" to leave Firefox passwords database

13) Select password field to activate cursor

14) Tap password field (again) to reveal "paste" modal

15) Tap "paste" to insert password

As mentioned, mine is not the newest iPhone model and is not running the newest version of iOS, so I don't know whether or not this process is more streamlined on newer devices. I assume so, because this sequence is absurdly long, in my opinion.

The first several steps - getting to the password database - are acceptable. From there, however, it seems like nearly every other step is extraneous. Why do I need to search for the website? Can't Firefox read the current URL and - like iOS - show matching entries at the top of the UI? Beyond that, after I've searched for the website and found the login entry I need, why isn't there an option to "use password" and return directly back to the login page without the additional steps outlined above?

I've always thought Mozilla makes great products, but this UI/UX is almost unimaginably bad. Do people experience this on newer devices/versions? Am I missing something or using it the wrong way?

One way that Discord is similar to Reddit (and, imo, a reason for it's relative success) is that it operates on the same authorization model. A single pseudonymous account gets you access to many disparate communities. In either case, once you have an account the activation energy needed to join that subreddit/server is very low.
That's what it comes down to in life though, right? What ever you choose, it will be wrong compared to someone else
> so you don't respond with a number at all, do I understand correctly?

No. What you quoted from me doesn't say that. It says I don't respond with a number to any offer until I have all the offers I expect on the table (or those leads have otherwise been crossed off). It doesn't say I don't respond with a number after that point.

Once I have all the offers I expect on the table, I respond in whatever way seems best. If one of the offers is good enough, I might just accept it and be done with it. Or I might decide to negotiate with one or more of the companies who have made offers, in which case I will be responding to them with some kind of counter that might include a number. The point is that I'm not making any substantive response until I have all of the information I need to weigh my options.

What Ever Happened to IPv6?
I haven't, although I've watched a good number of videos from recent betas.

In terms of traditional automakers and systems that anyone can buy, Tesla is the leader (although I believe hyundai has a very good highway system, not city though). But in terms of self-driving, it's hard to rank precisely but they're certainly nowhere near, say, Waymo.

Plenty of people enjoy FSD and understand that they still have to correct it every so often but to a lot of people "self-driving" means just that.

This is great inspiration. And I like the humble tone of this article. It isn't telling me to do something but is moreso presenting an idea and how it helps the author.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have an appointment with my GI coming up soon and I'll definitely ask her about those. Dupixent in particular looks very promising!

I'm glad you got your daughter into treatment early. I'm ~30 years old and research and treatments for EoE weren't nearly as good when I was her age, so I wasn't properly diagnosed until my 20s. By that point, just eating normal meals was a struggle and I had to have an esophageal dilation before I finally got onto my current treatment plan. I hope she never has to experience that, it sucks.

Omeprazole and elimination diet work ok for me, but it's not anything close to remission. I can finally eat normally again, but I don't have a comprehensive list of my trigger foods, and I get painful flare-ups if I accidentally eat the wrong thing. I'll gladly give myself injections once per week for the rest of my life if it means no more intermittent chest pain and it lets me eat a normal cake on my birthday again.
Lemmy experience is quite satisfying. Took a moment to get used to the fediverse especially with multiple duplicate communities. Yet find myself doomscrolling much less and being more satisfied than Reddit. Still a small community though…

> most people lie and they lie a lot. Often at work.

Yes, in situations which are nothing like job negotiations. Sure, people tell little white lies all the time, because the stakes are low and nobody has any real incentive to call them on it. (Calling in sick might be different if you do it often enough that your boss starts wondering what's going on.) Neither of those things are the case in job negotiations.

The technical authentication is the easy part. It's dealing with the humans that is the hard part.

Then definitely you can touch on APT marketplace, unlike the usual zeroday ones, those are -as the name implies, advanced, and mostly are state sponsored, you can find some of these in this sheet [1], or other sources [2] or older ones [3]. Now, for other zero day exploits, you can dig into your typical threat intelligence feeds to have an idea, some of these are daily updated [4] [5] [6] among a lot more of other resources, there are also underground databases for zero day and even APT updated as of yesterday, and also online marketplaces for those where you can buy/sell compromised RDP servers / webmail / cPanels / etc., or even services like smtp-sms for phishing among others, unfortunately, I can’t and won’t list any of these in here for obvious reasons, however, if you dig a little deeper definitely you will find something, just don’t use the usual search engines and normal channels, and get the usual security precautions like sandbox/vpns/etc. when access any of these sites, preferably in an isolated OS too.

And thanks, not expert enough for sure!

Mussolini was in Milan, and stayed in Milan, when he ordered the coup march to Rome.

Mussolini lead his coup from >100-600km away from the march, why would the leader of Wagner need to be in the convoy?
And language change results in miscommunication and confusion where a community meets another that doesn't have the same changes in theirs... as has happened here. The use of the more general term fraud would have been more appropriate. That's why we typically aim to use a sanitized, more standard and formal register when communicating broadly rather than to friends and family.
Yeah it’s a silly question. It’s like going into a python thread and being like “why didn’t you implement all of this in Go or Rust?” Well, there’s a thousand reasons, and it’s really not even worth the time to unwrap this very reductive question that is really only going to turn into a language flame war for no reason.
Really happy to see this. We all moved to these centralized platforms because they were convenient and benign. But we could all go back to smaller independent forums if we really wanted to. And if you run a project that people want to find, there is virtually no downside to self hosting a forum for the community.

Twitter. Oh, now you have two problems.

(I usually use Nitter to access tweets. That's also become iffy in recent months.)

That said, appreciate the option. The thanks here is more sincere than it probably reads.

Amongst my own workarounds, I've found that Archive Today seems to be more reliable when accessed via Tor Browser.
Goodness knows you can validly critise discord for any number of reasons but the time taken to log in on an untrusted device isn't really one that resonates with me. I have done this recently and the process took all of 5 seconds.

Here's the process if you have a phone and want to do it fast:

1. Click login on discord on the untrusted device. It shows a qr code next to the credentials box.

2. Log in on phone (which for me is just a faceid check).

3. Scan qr code. Now you're logged in on the untrusted device.

No captcha, no username/password typing on the untrusted device, no second factor even (because your phone is logged in using 2FA so you're using that trust) and definitely no email verification.
Waymo and Cruise make a car autonomous allowing it to drive with no driver in the seat for tens of thousands of miles on average between incidents.

Tesla FSD requires a driver in the seat to be operated safely, and explicitly does not make the car autonomous as stated on their website [1]. Tesla FSD is explicitly not labeled as a Autonomous Driving System (ADS) by Tesla to avoid mandatory NHTSA [2] and CA DMV [3][4] incident reporting requirements and Tesla does not and has not ever had a driverless testing permit. For that matter, although Tesla does have a permit for ADS testing with a safety driver, they have not done any in years.

In addition, Tesla FSD is lucky to go a few tens to low hundreds of miles between safety-critical interventions (hard to get reliable numbers since Tesla does not report official numbers). Waymo and Cruise with a safety driver average tens of thousands [5]; literally 100x-1000x better.

This analysis also ignores qualitative differences in ability, like how Tesla FSD still can not recognize basic signs such as “Do Not Enter” and “One Way”. It is lacking even basic functionality.

That your gamble could be competely wrong is the main risk. What if the next generation AI doesn't change things much and is just a minor incremental improvement over the current tech, and it takes 3 years to get there?

It reminds me of the peak of self driving car hype bubble 5 (?) years ago. If someone back then had asked if becoming a truck driver was a good idea, ppl like you would have said no because their job would be gone soon. Instead we have more need for truck drivers than ever probably due to all the packages order online. Sure, could a revolutionary self driving truck be released tomorrow that makes some high percentage of all truck drivers lose their job? Sure, I guess, but my bet is that it's not happening.

I look at the generative AI thing the same way. Could a product theoretically be released that makes my job as a dev obsolete over night? Yes, absolutely, but it seems unlikely due how messy the real world is. Other people will make a different call.
Yes but what about the people who have an ego about not having an ego about ego?
This reminds me of the various people who kept commonplace books in the "19th century and the Renaissance": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonplace_book

This additionally reminds me of a Bullet Journal; for me, a Bullet Journal fulfills the role of the author's sketchbook; the creator, Ryder Carroll, brands it as a planner, diary, sketchbook, calendar, and a 'catch-all for life': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_journal
> As the price rises, there becomes a greater incentive to seek other sources.

This is not a valid or reliable mechanism for correcting misaligned incentives. It may occur by happenstance but is not guaranteed to happen prior to significant damage to the commons. The point of a carbon tax is to create a direct mechanism that corrects incentives in the presence of market failure. I would suggest this article:

I vaguely remember that I could participate in the employee purchase program. This was during the financial crisis though and I was an undergrad intern with a paltry ability to invest.

Even if I had hit received some great stock award in all likelihood I would have sold it for index funds at my first opportunity. I imagine some of my old coworkers made out quite well though.
In this age, I don’t know why browsers don’t simply have parental controls built in. Nearly all adult sites declare themselves to be adults only in their meta data, and if they don’t they can easily be shortlisted as such.

Heck even blocking the top 100 would pretty much ensure children can’t access the content freely.
> It was a constant battle to get enough RAM for applications to run. Futzing around with himem.sys and moving around network drivers and stuff in high memory.

This was a battle even if you weren't running Windows. Many DOS programs wanted enough of that first 640K that you had to jump through hoops to fit them in.

I don't know why people just can't use plain old forums. I've got a lot help from KVR (a forum for music making) since I started learning DAW. It works fine.

If authentication is a problem then just let users login with their discord/twitter/reddit accounts?

Is it the lacking of "one-click setup" forum services?
Considering a house purchase is one of the biggest expenses for the average person, 3% can be quite a large amount indeed.
Between those 2 GPUs, the fp32 perf went up 12.7x according to TechPowerUp’s specs. The SM count went up 8.5x (which represents Moore’s law and note is almost exactly in line with Moore’s prediction), and the clock rate went up 1.5x. The FPS of CSGO (or any game) is not a good measure of Moore’s law. Games have all kinds of complexities and caveats that will prevent them from scaling linearly. I used to write some of those bottlenecks :P What are the 2080 and 3080 datapoints for CSGO? Did it approach 400-500 fps on the 2080 and never get any faster after that?

I don't know about you, but in our org (which has a large portion of permanent WFH-ers) I slack someone for a bit, and if they have time (confirmed by viewing their availability on the calendar) we /zoom and chat it up.

No doubt in-hall and water-cooler discussions provide some spice to the drudgery of the work, but for me the biggest challenge of office work is the commute.

So I'm kinda ok with hybrid/flex where 2-3 days are in office. I'm also ok with all the folks who are perma-WFH as long as they are responsive.
SPACs also suffer from an adverse selection problem. The people who self select to do a SPAC because they have low tolerance for rigorous scrutiny are more likely to fail when the tides go out.
I bought a couple of 3M-brand N100s from a web site.

They're OK, but don't fit my face as well as the 3M-brand N95s I usually buy (8511s).
I'd wonder if the idea of a cycle-perfect emulation for a 2600 is a poor target.

It doesn't just rely on cycle-accurate timing of the chips themselves, it's abusing the old analogue TV formats to do its magic, and nothing that plugs into a HDMI socket will exactly emulate that trickery. It's up there with hacks like "CGA could eke out extra colours through dithering and hacking the colourburst on composite outputs."

OTOH, the actual delivered goods by the 2600-- even late, better titles, are pretty anemic, so maybe we're not missing much magic.
Part of the reason Discord falls short as a social platform is that each community is siloed off from the rest. There is no continuity bridging the overarching platform and userbase. I feel like for a social platform to work, the platform itself should be a community and the users should be able to carve out their own slice within that.

I've been working on a platform that blends social features from Discord with the discoverability of Reddit. What we're building is intentionally not just another Reddit or Discord clone. We're trying to create an all-in-one place for people to create communities first and foremost and not just posts/chat messages.

I joined as a new college grad (full time) the same year. I remember the 10% pay cut announcement. I didn't get any stock granted to me in the 4 years I was there as a SWE working on CUDA. They had an ESPP you could put 10% of your paycheck into or something like that though.
This is very culturally dependent though. In Germany, for example, dubs are typically the default, and people would very rarely use subtitles for foreign media. If you want to be able to show non-German films and series in Germany, you need to be able to support different audio tracks.
There was a Vox video called "Who made these circles in the Sahara?" that really showcased the investigative powers of journalists once they have the budget to bring in the big guns.

Budget cuts and the gutting of profitable newspapers by Alden Global Capital really destroyed a lot of journalism and turned it into "internet journalism", at which point, they are scarcely better than the average reader.

Does he? I thought he was clearly Jim Cramer for VC watchers. The brightest light in the All In listener dorm room. His niche is lucrative. But he isn’t taken seriously, particularly given recent questions around his personal and firm’s solvency.
So, if you actually respond with a number at some point and get an unexpected offer, then what happens? Don't you end in the same situation as somebody who just called the number first and got another offer afterwards? Do you set a hard cut off time for offers and just say "thanks, your offer arrived too late, try being faster the next time"?
I'm wondering what -arguing physically- might be.
How can one measure the speed of things through time relative to things in their past or future? Can't we only measure the speed of things through time relative to other things that coexist at the same time? I read the article but couldn't make sense of it.
To be specific it's the "average time across all space" ran more slowly, which is sort of a weird thing to say, but I'll go with it.

Time runs more slower near massive objects like black holes. Since the average density of the universe when it was young was way higher, then yes on average time ran more slowly.

But it's also a little weird to say because you go back far enough there's no "low density" patch so you're actually comparing it to something that doesn't exist quite yet, hence a bit weird?
This is a real different view.

Windows 1.0 was unusable because if you opened a new window it was too small to do anything and so had to minimize all the others.

Windows 2.0 was a great step forward as you could have seveal apps on the screen and easily switch between them and they were large enough to work in.
Isn’t that like saying “glad Typescript exists but still prefer Flow?” One does a tiny subset of the other after all, and when you compare what Flow does to what Typescript does, I think it’s possible to argue quite well that the very tiny subset of what Typescript does is arguably comparable to what flow offers but that perhaps you might get basically everything that Flow offers and 100x more if you adopted typescript. And perhaps Flow might be better at several things but if it’s only really good at solving 5% of the total problem I’m going to pick the solution that also solves the other 95% even if the 5% Flow solves is just a mediocre solution

Note that I don’t really think that bun is the solution for everything or really that it is all that great. I am just pointing out that you are trying to compare two things that are not really the same thing at all. One is probably a strict superset of the other
