> I'm not sure treachery is the right word.

You are rejecting the literal words they used to describe the Republican party, which I quoted. Those are by definition the right words for describing their viewpoints because that is what they wrote.

You also reject the reasons they wrote to justify secession, because you think it did not make sense. Remember, these are people who believed "the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty", and whose use of slave labor enriched their economy - you have different belief in what God wanted, so cannot use your beliefs as a lens to interpret what made rational sense to them.

You cannot have a good understanding of history if you filter the primary documentation through your own interpretations and discard anything that does not make sense to you.

I didn't quite understand if you are aware, but Postman has scripting and can depend upon data from another. And even can query it serially if you add requests to folder, right click on folder and "Run folder".

Scripting is under Tests tab.

I've built oauth2 authorization flow to get the code and afterwards the access token.

First request Test script:

pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.equal(302);
var code = pm.response.body;
var location = pm.response.headers.get("Location");
if (location.match(/\\?code=([^&]+)/) === null) {
postman.setNextRequest(pm.info.requestName)
console.log("Request must be re-run. First time adfs wants to set some cookies, eh.")
} else {
var code = location.match(/\\?code=([^&]+)/)[1];
pm.environment.set("oauth2_authorizationcode", code);
}

Second request Test script:

pm.environment.set("oauth2_accesstoken", pm.response.json().access_token);
pm.environment.set("oauth2_refreshtoken", pm.response.json().refresh_token);

There’s also ergogen, which is a project that generates the PCB for your split keyboard based on a few inputs. Then just send it to your favorite online pcb maker and you just have to solder the components .

And there are a bunch of dactyl manuform case generators. (Which the online pcb fabs are now also offering to print in your favorite material)
What even is productivity?

I think two questions are only needed: are people, teams, and organizations working on what they are supposed to be working on on the scale of weeks to months? Are they hitting acceptable milestones? And when I say milestones, I don't mean time-based ones, which are more often than not arbitrary.

Though not quite important to the main theme of the article, I wonder what area the author is referring to.
Cloudflare doesn’t like my VPN so I get a lot of their challenges. Now whenever I see one I just close the tab.

Let’s say you run a SaaS using Cloudflare. You may be extremely happy you block 10000 bot requests for every false positive that’s a real human. But let’s say that false positive was a potential customer that would only have paid if they weren’t blocked, and now you just saved less than a penny in server costs to lose hundreds of dollars of lifetime value from that customer.

Sure if you run a free service use Cloudflare. Give in to centralizing the web more, supporting more censorship, and annoying the hell out of a ton of people in the process. But if you’re making money, I don’t see why you wouldn’t have authentication tied to paying users for anything of value, or think of bot traffic as a cost of doing business.
> Giving everyone a raise is not required by law.

Maybe it should be. Even if only to match inflation. Salary actually decreases over time if you don't receive raises. $100k/y today might be equal to $110k/y next year.
I got my sofabed from Ikea. It looks good to me and is an absolute joy to lie on. The few guests that have slept on it gave 5/5 reviews, firm feel and well slept.

Granted, it's just six months old so I don't know yet how it'll hold up. But I'm very happy this far.
It is not going to be better. At least not anytime soon and not without significant mindset shift.

People are not getting more intelligent, but the jobs evolve to require more and more intelligent and versatile people to be productive.

For example, in the past you could spend a lot of time training to do a job, which you then performed for the rest of your life. This lets less intelligent people be productive in jobs they normally would not be able to do (intelligence defined as ability to handle novel problems). This is no longer an option.

Another problem is that companies become better at detecting who is and who is not productive. There is still a lot of possibility of improvement and this should be scary to people, because in my understanding most people in most organisations are unproductive.

Given that we can't stop the progress, I think it is important to start thinking how to deal with masses of people that will never be able to find place in the new market. In the past, they would be used as peasants and slaves to do marginally profitable jobs but this is no longer available except for special cases (like cab or delivery drivers) that are going to be vanishing soon.

For some reason people call this socialism and put a negative stigma on it. I like to think it is a necessary for the future of our civilisation.
Does Apple need to spend effort every single time Google launches and kills another chat service?
And then just complain how it’s all a big problem that’s someone else’s fault and can’t be fixed because it’s all so complicated. Right. Sounds like typical government busybody work.
They are a lot better. You’re talking about Google, a company that literally owns its existence and trillions of dollars of revenue to targeted advertising across the entire world, vs Mozilla, a company that’s chosen to add a few non-targetted ads that are easily disabled.[1]

The problem is that they put the whole store behind, then Walmart blames everyone for the store being behind and pressures them accordingly. Which is Walmart's fault, of course, but Walmart might as well be a force of nature as far as its workers are concerned; they can't change Walmart.
Finishing dinner can be more important than the house not burning down. A burned down house is likely insured. A dinner with a potential business client is not.
1. That's what they're doing. That's what this is.

2. That's what they're doing. That's what this is.

3. It's not a feature, it's an advantage for browsers like Firefox and Brave that happen to be made possible. Google sure won't advertise with it.

4. What data? Ad companies know through tracking that you've visit cars.com three times during lunch every work day except on your day off on Friday, who cares if they now get an API that says "I like cars".
This is self-evidently true in all cases and I really don't get how some people can't get this.

Here in the UK we have a perpetual doctor shortage, except that we don't, because young doctors are worked to the bone in incredibly stressful environments in what seems to be a "paying your dues" model so that you can possibly, maybe earn the fat consultant money that older doctors get on their way to retirement. My understanding is that most leave for better money and living conditions in places like Australia. They exist, they just opt-out.

In the UK, independent software contractors are vilified pretty regularly, and there's often a lot of learn-to-code pushes because there's a perceived shortage. Maybe some of those people could just learn-to-medicine instead and solve both problems.
>Why do we need to measure productivity? No one seems to ask that question.

because the people asking the questions aren't the ones who actually do the work. And timelines are everything to those people (which admitedly falls behind a lot in software due to the nature of the work).

>Do we measure trust (upon which all business is based)?

in an ephemeral way, yes.
Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm doubtful, but.. hopefully this turns out OK.

The Google Chrome history deletion feature has always been dog slow.

I did read an explanation that it does some complex operations, but you have to wonder if it is deliberately made complex to make people avoid deleting their history, as it takes so long.

The lack of respect by insurance companies is startling. Insurance companies effectively govern what care people receive, rather than doctors. I paid almost $1000 last year for a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea, because my insurance company wouldn't cover it -- I wasn't high-enough risk. Turns out, I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. I'm just glad I was in a financial position to pay for the study myself.

Owning a share is infinitely productive.
The thing i see with flashlights is that the physical object is pretty complex and has to face thermal, power and environmental constraints that would destroy any keyboard.

Maybe it could start as a gut replacement for an existing cheap flashlight and grow from there.
I guess to all the whiteboard coding with the recursion (e.g. Fibonacci sequence). On a contrary, I think it is present in many places where you have to dive into any sensible, tree like, structure. Then, it's a mess once it turns out person has no idea what recursion is.

> That one is indeed impossible due to the laws of information theory ... it is a humanity problem

So, is this impossible due to human nature or the "laws of information theory"? Which is it? And if the latter what "law" are you thinking of, exactly? Can you name these laws?

Here's the problem: it's neither impossible mathematically nor practically. Remember the kerfuffle over the NSA's backdoored ECDRBG algorithm? That was a very pure textbook example of what's possible, it would have allowed the NSA and only the NSA to decrypt TLS streams using it. According to you that would have been physically impossible due to violating some sort of law, but it's not. Cryptographers know how to construct such systems, there are many ways.

But the existence of such solutions doesn't even matter. Lawful intercept abilities have existed for ages, governments will happily accept a solution of just turning off E2E encryption entirely, and the possibility that governments or tech firms will get hacked doesn't bother them because that's a transient problem that can be made hard by throwing money at it.

They also don't care about corruption because the countries demanding this have low levels of it. Governments are the original experts in corruption, you might say, and have evolved a lot of different mechanisms to fight it. Finally, remember that all these systems are already hackable or corruptible. Pay off someone who works on the WhatsApp mobile app team and unless Meta's internal controls detect it, it's game over.
1. The issue is not just about improving privacy; it's about the method involved. Using browsing history, personal data by nature, still raises significant privacy concerns, regardless of Google's intentions.

2. Trading privacy for utility. A truly innovative solution would respect privacy from the ground up, not pretending to retrofit privacy into an advertising model.

3. The nuance here is about "default" privacy. Even if the feature provides some privacy, it shouldn't require user intervention or tech prowess. Privacy should be a given, not a bonus.

4. The concern isn't just about "liking cars" but the ability to infer personal and sensitive information from gathered data. This may lead to the misuse of data by third parties, reinforcing the need for stringent privacy safeguards.
Well, it's always been slow in Firefox as well.

The EU was playing around with the idea already, they just went a little overboard in their first drafts of the Digital Markets Act. But I think we'll see something like that come out of Europe soon.
I've never spent as much time on hardware bugs as I've spent on software bugs. If the software you've worked on is 'easy to reason about' then you've led a charmed life!

That's probably also why all software is 'bug free' ;)

But seriously: both software and hardware have their unique challenges. But those can be overcome and just like software hardware can be 'unit tested' by breaking down circuitry into manageable chunks. Adafruit is a success simply because they fill a need: the ability to create bespoke gadgets without investing lot of $ or learning a new skill. The market to programmers, not to hardware people, though I'm sure there is some overlap as well due to the convenience. But those skills are not substantially harder than software skills, they are just different.

I'm kind of lucky: I got into software through hardware rather than the other way around. To me software was an infinite parts budget (bounded by RAM limitations, usually). Hardware was a running expense, computing a one-time expense (or so I thought, hah!). So I simply got more mileage out of my pocket money and Saturday job earnings by saving for a computer rather than by spending it on various hardware components.
I had something very similar happen a lot of years ago when I was consulting and a client in a bank I'd worked with had asked me what it would take for me to consider joining them full-time.

When I told them they stared dumb-founded at me and said "but that's more than I make". We didn't talk about it again, as I don't know where you'd start explaining how capitalism works to a manager in a bank.
>when I say milestones, I don't mean time-based ones, which are more often than not arbitrary.

Basically yes. Back in the day they were one of the most popular books for "concerned parents" to try to get banned from school libraries because of the sex scenes. And the anthropology wasn't that accurate even for the time, although it was amusingly correct in its assertion that Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens were amorous together, long before people like Svante Pääbo showed that with actual genetics.
The first step of improving a process is to measure it, because only then you will know if it's improved.
Sampling is a lot rarer these days. There is a reason your last two links are from 10+ years ago. Too many hobbyists tried to use sampling as a means of getting free parts for their personal projects.

Sampling is intended to get a sample so the company's expectation is that it will eventually result in an actual order. This will obviously happen when sampling to companies, and sampling to EE students means those students are more likely to choose your products when they enter the field.

Sampling to hobbyists doesn't really have any return on investment, so once they started getting thousands of requests they just shut it down. These days you are just expected to order low-quantity items from their distributors.

Firefox seems ok to a layman so far. Time to throw Chrome of the Windows part of my daily now.
Is it? Cameras can be really small.
No, I think we are allowed to question the base assumptions here.

For example, were laptops completely useless before 2020, when the best you could get out of them was 12 hours?

How often in your life are you stuck on a 18 hours flight without AC power?

OP mentioned light coding on Linux. What battery life would M2 achieve when running Docker in a VM?

Does Ashahi Linux reach anywhere near the 16 hrs battery of macs? Apple delibertly limited Windows battery on Intel macs, do you think they would treat Linux differently.

And so on...
If you haven't heard of it, there's another cool tracker making great strides right now, Furnace:

Allows you to compose tunes on several chips / platforms in the one song.
I'm just speculating as to what points are actually added but typically the flight plan includes 'airways' in addition to waypoints. Here's an example of a plan for London Gatwick (EGKK) to Edinburgh (EGPH):

```
EGKK/08R LAM1Z LAM L10 BPK UN601 INPIP INPI1E EGPH/24
```

And to take a section out:

```
BPK UN601 INPIP
```

In this case, BPK and INPIP are two waypoints (one in the south of England and one in the north). UN601 is an airway that connects these two waypoints. The airway represents a ton of other waypoints between BPK and INPIP but that you don't need to specify manually in the flight plan. I suspect the additional waypoints added are the splitting of the airway into the underlying waypoints - but as I say it's speculation :-)

Unless you're buying a named diamond, it's close to worthless. Diamonds of the size used for marriages are not rare. They're super abundant, with the supply artificially limited by the diamond cartel.
Thanks for trying so hard here.

It's quite depressing how many people here don't seem able to deconflate "I don't believe police can be trusted with this power" from "it is mathematically impossible to give it to them".

This is a nice clear example of how experts talk themselves into lying to the public for the greater good, as we saw so often in the past :(
Agreed but there is a time component here as well. There may in fact be a doctor's shortage because getting a supply of new doctors takes X number of years but the demand is now.

In the UK with NHS shortages it's all about wages though. The time component just means that whenever they finally get the wages figured out it will still take years to improve.

Ireland had a variant of this where women who got inconveniently pregnant were sent away to forced labour institutions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_Laundries_in_Ireland

If women died from the conditions, they could be buried in unmarked graves:

> In Dublin in 1993, the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity – owners and operators of the laundry in High Park, Drumcondra – had lost money in share dealings on the stock exchange; to cover their losses, they sold part of the land in their convent to a property developer. This led to the discovery of 133 unmarked graves. The Sisters arranged to have the remains cremated and reburied in a mass grave at Glasnevin Cemetery, splitting the cost of the reburial with the developer who had bought the land. It later transpired that there were 22 more corpses than the sisters had applied for permission to exhume, and death certificates existed for only 75 of the original 133, despite it being a criminal offence to fail to register a death that occurs on one's premises.[3] In all, 155 corpses were exhumed, and cremated

There was also unmarked graves for babies: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60464447
