> You would rather than individual must play by the rules of the collective.

The collective in this case is women, and the individuals are those men who desire to be women, or call themselves women. These men are attempting, for their own gratification, to undermine the well-established collective rights of women, particularly regarding female-only spaces.

So yes, I would much rather these men abide by the rules of the collective, and stop trying to impose themselves on women's spaces, and refrain from forcing everyone to accept their belief that they are women simply because they say they are.
I tried it, wouldn't really recommend if you are using laptop speaker (like to be used in private space / at home). I'm not sure how well it will work cable earphones.

My main issue with it is the sound direction. I'm using MBP 16 and it feels like the sound is coming from in front of me (like coming out of the screen) rather than from below around the keyboard area. It's just not comfortable.

It also lack on the bass sounds so feel very high pitched. Or maybe the sound not matching the physical feeling. Maybe could work better if you already using (silent) mechanical keyboard.
> and yes it's good the system failed safe rather than continued with a bunch of corrupt data

The authors of the report obviously made an effort to suggest this; but then on page 18 they nevertheless admit that "A permanent software change by the manufacturer within the FPRSA-R sub-system which will prevent the critical exception from recurring for any flight plan that triggers the conditions that led to the incident.".
Couldn't a business exist now that just had a lawyer read the agreements? There's no reason why we need to wait for "AI" to do this, so I would assume either the business idea isn't there or there are no incentives to do so.

Yes, obviously.

What's an acceptable casualty level for this transition? 100k or 1m? There's 4.8m diabetics in the UK, how many of them do you expect to not be able to afford insulin?
> The web is dependent on big tech,

If that were the case, it would never have been built until big tech came along and invented it.

As the web existed for years before big tech got involved, and for a few more years after they got involved but were still playing catch-up, I don't see how that holds up.

> interoperability will always be limited by shareholder interests

Again, history shows the opposite.

There were a number of attempts by large corps to create something like the web before the web, like Minitel and Compuserve, and to some extent AOL. (Also see X.400 messaging before SMTP email) They all lost out to the web because they had gatekeepers and no interoperability, whereas the web with its interoperable standards allowed anyone to come along and build anything.

Not saying it is a bad idea, but the way it works is it ensures certain things happen that you would normally want to happen, namely:

* test of a rollback procedure,

* developers thinking about backwards compatibility and rollback procedure.

The main issue I see with this approach is that the test of the rollback is only partial. Just because the schema is usable by the previous version of the application does not mean the new data that is going to be put by the application will perform the same way.

Another issue I am seeing is that it is not a separate testing event but essentially happening live when the application is turned on on production. Not nice.

On the pros, this is very useful when you want to have more than one version of the application code to coexist at the same time. But I would not rely on learning about incompatibility when I start deploying the application, I would want to know that well before then.
You can disable certificate authorities in the security settings, yes.
Does Firefox support web apps via PWA APIs yet? That was one of the biggest issues I had with it on desktop - it removes the need for Electron and Mozilla just dropped the plans.

I spent some time last week trying to set this up.

You can use Andronix to install Linux and a window manager onto you phone. You then use a VNC app to connect to that (local) Linux container and you'll have a fully working Linux phone. Works pretty well, though I had to jump to a few hoops as not all distro's worked on my Fold 3.

DEX starts automatically when you plug HDMI into your (Samsung) phone. You then start the Andronix Linux container thing from DEX and you have a fully working Linux distro, right from your pocket. Pretty magical.

What I do, is use remote VSCode to connect to my dev server, so I don't need to run anything locally, because speed wasn't great for me. But if you set it up as I did, you can work from anywhere and you don't need a laptop.
I like the article's premise. I would like some argument for why we'd suddenly get better at measuring something that has escaped us for at least 80 years when knowledge work became more common.

Thanks, I was looking for exactly this!

Eh, no. They passed for a bit when Microsoft seemed to be playing nice and accepting the fact that the world has moved on from Windows.

Rather the opposite, I'd say.

Software is deterministic and quite easy to reason about. It either works, or it doesn't. Hardware relies on actual physics, and even minute changes can be the difference between working perfectly fine and not working at all.

A lot of hardware design is based on rules-of-thumb and institutional knowledge. Learning those as a hobbyist is incredibly difficult, and most of the time you essentially end up cargo culting what everyone else is doing - and there is no guarantee that everyone else is doing the right thing either! It is really easy to end up wasting hundreds if not thousands of dollars like this.

This is exactly why companies like Adafruit have become so big. They take care of all the hard part, and provide the hobbyists with essentially a bunch of lego bricks which neatly click together. The only thing you have to do yourself is... the software.
I generally agree with this. My wife and I recently (last year) decided to move to the UK from the US. We had a $10k Stickley sofa, a $7k custom-ordered rug, a lovely leather recliner the previous owners of the house left for us (they were going full van-life), Steelcase office chairs, etc.

We're now renting in London, and our furniture is almost exclusively Ikea, plus one mid-range sofa from John Lewis (£2000 or so). We view our furniture as mostly transient. All our expensive furniture is in storage in the US now, and will only come back out when we move home into a house we own and plan to stay in again.
> Guess which expenses impacts most prices, the most? Did you guess trucking? If so, you're correct.

Can you provide a source for that statement? There are certainly some kind of goods for which your statement is true, but as a general statement I'd say it is just plain wrong.

This whole comment feels pretty bunk and I am surprised at the confidence with which it is written.

> It's really disrespectful to use a loud / mechanical keyboard in a public place, or really when anyone else is nearby.

It isn't. Public places come with noise. By this snippet, even speaking would be disrespectful in a public place.

> This lets folks use normal/good keyboards and still satisfy the weird craving some have for mechanical noises through their own headphones.

Good keyboards are subjective. It is weirdly reductive to refer to keyboard sounds as a craving.

> Probably will save some RSI surgeries too, people can use healthy low key travel keyboards instead of high travel mechanical switches, while still getting the clicking sound they want.

Low travel keyboards are not healthy. Regular keyboards are not unhealthy. There are not correlations between them. The nature of RSI means that experiences will differ and what works or doesn't work for you will not be the same for me.

There is no such thing as "virality". It doesn't exist. The worst thing you can do is violate the license terms and not be allowed to use the software that is AGPL licensed.
in my mind I've built an 'emotional engine' to add nuance to models understanding, take something like Plutchik's wheel of emotions and create a high quality multi-modal dataset based on that structure, given our current technology takes inspiration from the brain, it would seem like having discrete models specialising in particular aspects of 'intelligence' that are then organised into a mixture of experts is an interesting area to explore, and perhaps more accessible as smaller models require less resources.
At Google, there are no branches, so typically development indeed happens under some experiment flag. Binary, configs and experiment flags are on separate deployment schedules, and often you need to coordinate your release across different systems (with their own binary, config and experiment flag deployment schedules). This requires you to think about backward & forward compatibility of all your changes.
Presumably that would fall within the remit of CFIUS.
No, but you can guess that people actually doing work and creating software do. I don't want to watch a fucking video when I can refer to actual documentation and potentially cut and paste some example code somewhere.
No I do not believe the BoL.

He had just moved to the US in 1988. He had no real wood working experience beyond building a small sailboat when he was a teenager. In 1989 my mom and I moved here with him. In 1991, he got a raise to $20 and we went to Price Club (Costco) and bought a ton of groceries, and took a photo with them on the kitchen table with all 3 of us using a self timer. It's a major memory of mine.

He was one of the 'foreman' in the shop handling the custom fixture/reception desk line. So if Sun Microsystems at the time wanted new cabinets for their new building, the rest of the shop would build the boxes, but my dad's department would build the reception desk. Basically, you could give my dad some drawings from an architect and my dad could figure out how to make it, while also getting it into the building. He was still cutting and assembling then too as 'engineering' and cutlisting is a short part of that overall work.
I can't think of specific ones, I think I've read everything he wrote.

But I just recall small exchanges, im many of his works, where Long or another character, would notice some scientist archetype come up with an idea, yet not care one wit about exploiting it.

It was all about the puzzle of discovery, and Long/etc was often amused.
The sad thing is people who should know better will still find excuses to keep using Chrome. And people with ulterior motives will help amplify their excuses.

I am not clear as to the context. I assume this relates to cars with embedded sims. Or does any of this relate to Android Auto or Carplay? In fact do either of those allow the car to originate "call home" messages?

Then why do you need bloated web UI that's not performant as React, Vue, Angular, Svelte? You can also just add 1 line of css classes to HTML elements to have transitions if you use a library like Animate.css.
Basic numeracy: looking at top transportation CEO pay, it is coming out at $5-30M. Grabbing the first company on this list, they have 12k employees. If we completely spread out the CEO comp (which is mostly equity) everyone makes maybe a couple grand more a year. That is going to affect employee pay by less than inflation.

AGPL does not add any distribution clause... all distribution clauses are taken from the GPL...

The AGPL adds a modification clause so that if you ever modify the code even if you do not distribute the application, you still have to share the code or at least link to the version of the source code that you use. The loophole that AGPL fixes is that there are ways to avoid distribution.

This AGPL/GPL virality urban legend should have ended years ago.
Just a heads up, newer versions of Android will kill processes that spawn a certain amount of subprocesses. You'll want to look into disabling the phantom process killer using adb (works for unrooted phones but you need to repeat those steps after each reboot.)
Back in 2014, I left my job as a one-man IT department and started working at AWS. Pretty quickly, I found myself joking that I used to know how the Internet worked, but now I didn't know how it keeps working.

I spent over five years at AWS, and have worked at other major tech companies since. I continue to not know how the Internet keeps working -- it's basically always on fire, and held together only because of a lot of people who are actively firefighting.
I did just that, years ago. I took a bet on the open internet.

I don't have to convince big tech to treat me right, there's already a whole big open internet where I can go and what I can connect to. Existing techniques from the 90's and before still work. Websites still work. Websites without third party code do work. Analytics from Google? Thumbs from Facebook? One can remove that with ease. Just to name a few.

So I ended up not with the most innovative approach (no blockchain, no NFT, no AI), but with a solid piece of software to build your own website with. One can connect to other independent websites via RSS. One can download it for selfhosting, one can take a subscription. You can design the thing yourself without knowing anything about design, all built-in functionality. Use it for business with a webshop, as a personal blog or photobook, or as an organization with an online info library and custom forms to connect stakeholders, etc. Oh, and visitor statistics without cookies and tracking.

Websites don't necessarily have to stay websites, they can evolve into personal online multi-tools that work nicely together with the rest of the open web.

My main concern - broadly speaking - is knowing that the future content of every website I deliver might end up 'raped' by some AI company and 'abused' as part of their product. But still, it doesn't stop me from betting on the open internet, because AI products don't exclude me and my customers from publishing our content on the internet.
> I wonder how Bintracker gets around the requirement of having to write native code that actually plays the music on all the various platforms? But I guess that a stub that just "pipes" the data through to the emulated sound hardware is relatively easy to write.

It looks that way. There's binary files for the MAME Bridge, which probably orchestrate the raw music data.

If I remember correctly, that's rather common on the original platforms, too. On the C64, there were a few "music routines" that marshaled patterns of notes to the SID chip. One famous example being that of composer Rob Hubbard[1], whose "One Man and his Droid" still lives rent-free in my head.

Chicken Scheme, Tk and MAME seem like a very cool tech stack for this.

You seem to assume that workers could get higher salaries if only they were angry enough and believed they should get more. It's not the case, you're not going to get offers way above the current local market rate just because you believe that rate is too low.

Option 1 - Don't measure and hope

Option 2 - Measure

Option 3 - Use judgement

We undervalue qualitative measurements when talking about this stuff. But in real life it is all there is. If you did everything with a measuring tape, you could do nothing (not even walk to your car!). If you care about nothing and close your eyes, things will get disorganized and chaotic and out of control.

This doesn't mean measure nothing, but don't try to get some perfect measure of productivity. At least not in creative work like software development.
Strace v4.22 and later allow delays to be injected into specific system calls
You're buying their phones, not the phones of companies that give you full control. Most customers care more about not having to wonder about security than about having the ability to flash a new kernel.

Show companies that there's money to be made by buying devices to your liking or you'll be subject to design decisions made for the vast majority of customers. Why should companies care about your specific wishes over everyone else's if you're not putting your money where your mouth is? They exist to make money, they're no government or charity.

Everybody has been screaming at Google about how Google can't keep Android up to date since Android 2.1 launched. The geneewl comsensus is that if you wqnt updates and security, you need to buy an iPhone. They're finally fixing this problem but every step along the way the percentage of a percentage complains that they're the victim of Google's conspiracy.

If you were actively building for the Web in late 1990s and early 2000s, you would have definitely stumbled on Molly’s work in one way or the other.

The web will miss Molly E. Holzschlag.

Now, I could not find her on LinkedIn; she must have deleted her profile. She was reaching out to people when her illness progressed (I think it was LinkedIn). I remember feeling sad watching her videos, talking about how the treatment was tiring her.

It was always an excitement in the early days of the web when you are in a discussion forum and Molly was around too, answering to the list question. Looking up old emails, she owned https://www.molly.com but this seems to be something else now.

The text upthread that started this was “GM CEO salary went up from 23M to 29M between 2021 and 2022.”

That is both wrong and misleading. Wrong for obvious reasons, but misleading because the nature of salary is that statement suggests that someone (the board or compensation committee) made an explicit decision to change their salary from $X to $Y.
The problem is that 1) "design rules" are in practice more like guidelines, and often need to be violated in order to actually get stuff made, and 2) all the data is wrong, contradictory, and cannot be trusted.

A lot of the work of a hardware engineer is reading and interpreting datasheets and trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. The low-hanging fruit which can easily be automated is the easy part of the job, and writing the input data for the automation ends up taking more time than just manually doing it yourself.

I have dabbled into writing some software extensions for KiCad, and some turned out to be very useful and now save me quite a lot of time. However, every time I tried to be "clever" and solve a seemingly easy problem, it ended up not being worth it in the end.
> UB has no bearing on that. If a variable has never had its address taken, then there's no expectation that it ever be in memory.

there were plenty of programs that expected specific stack layouts and were broken when compilers started optimizing stack spilling/register allocation more aggressively. Remember that register existed as a keyword.

The address taken might have been a useful practical rule for some compiler, but I don't think it was ever endorsed by the standards (except for prohibiting taking the address of a register variable in C).
