Despite the gutting of desktop usability for the sake of being mobile compatible, many environments still have zero presence on mobile. Can I PLEASE have my fucking scrollbar back now?

I once spent a lot of my time and the time and the time of a developer trying to find a setting because there was no indication that a window had more content (a checkbox) to scroll down to. Something that would have been obvious before the onslaught of hidden scrollbars. The trouble is that having my pointer over the navigation pane--practically a guaranteed position--causes the scrollbar on the other pane to be hidden. Without the visual cue of a scrollbar there was no reason to move my pointer over to the other pane to discover there's more. Hell you might not even know it's a separate pane now that we've gotten rid of every defining border. I shared a screenshot with the developer, assured them that I was using the current version, only to have him say "scroll down." No doubt, I'm the fucking idiot (/s).

Just like on mobile, you're supposed randomly interact with every UI element in hopes of discovering how it works only to have that learned skill be unique to one fucking app. Tap it, slow tap it, slow tap it for a different amount of time, tap it faster, spam it... "google it"... oh, this time you're supposed to drag it to something that doesn't even look like a UI element. Stupid grandpas!

"Is the checkbox checked?" was never as ambiguous as "is the slider switch on?" Also, the checkbox uses less screen space! I'd argue that they optimized for neither screen space or user friendliness. It's optimized for a look and you can even make it worse by making it flatter. Go ahead make it look like two squares! Is the darker area the switch part? Who cares! It looks so clean and distraction free! I was so distracted by knowing what state the switch was in.

Sorry, time for my meds. I usually make it half way through the day.
I'm not sure what you mean. It's a regular news article from a reputable source.
There may also be major selection bias in the statistics as the numbers were self-reported and voluntarily submitted as far as I can tell.

An intersection in some real tight and twisty part of an old city backed up with cars in both directions.

Two cars had come in and neither was willing to move to the side to let the other pass. Plenty of shouting and honking was going nowhere fast.

After twenty minutes a fellow from way down the jam got out of his car and whispered to one of the drivers. "It looks like the other guy is being a jerk, and I feel for you. But, I need to get to my kid's birthday party, and it is really important to her. Could you do me a favor and move over to let us through."

A few minutes later and everyone was on their way.
It is good practice for (soft) realtime systems to keep data messages under the Ethernet MTU of ~1500 bytes.

This especially applies to UDP, Erlang and any other distributed computing system.

Send many small non-blocking notification messages, usually delta state, not huge blocking RPC data structures.
Good question, some aspects make it different:

- you're always getting some "free warmth" through the sun, so on average you need to pump less energy to heat than to cool (for same temp difference)

- Hot air rises, cold air sinks, not sure how that works in a city environment, probably concentrates the cold more
eschelon said that we are in an ice age and multiple people asked “how can you call this an ice age?” I either didn’t see the linked reference or it wasn’t there when I read eschelon’s comment.

Either way, I’ve seen the Little Ice Age come up enough lately to be extremely irritating. So, I knee-jerked the rebuttal.

Now I think eschelon was actually asking if we are overriding the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation which would normally take millions of years to happen.
Let's not beat around the bush. This is standard climate change denialism. It's the trope that there is nothing here to worry about because, who knows, the earth COULD have been warmer in the past and it still exists now. It's the same logic that would say that you've decelerated from 60 mph to 0 before without an issue, so you should be just fine after slamming your car into a brick wall.
> Seems that the Made for iPhone (MFi) program negates benefits of switching to USB-C…

Mind elaborating? I’ve used Apple USB-C devices (iOS and macOS) for years and MFi has never been a consideration, so I’m curious about “the implication” you’re making.
Er, the trend is actually the opposite nowadays, with mafia orgs increasingly moving to the North - because there is more money to be made, and the strong community ethics that previously protected those areas have been massively eroded over the last 40 years.

> or they ignore their mentees who then typically flounder

This isn't surprising given the common strategy of replacing senior SWEs with junior ones (who are simply relabelled "senior" after a few years training).

Or shorting senior SWEs by giving them mentoring tasks, while keeping their normal duties - and evaluating them (wrt advancement) primarily on their normal duties.
Once GUIs became the norm, that shiny new PC you bought/built was basically not fast enough on Day 1. Whereas I still use my 2015 iMac and MacBook and they're really not even that bad for photo and video editing. I did buy an M1 Pro MacBook for multimedia but I'll be the first to admit it was sort of a luxury purchase. (And partly for reasons that may not really play out.)

My first dual floppy PC clone (who could afford a hard disk or genuine IBM?) in 1982 was somewhere in the low 4 digits all-in which was probably close to 10% of my gross salary as an engineer at the time.

But, yeah, you can get a very well equipped Mac for about $3K these days. (Which is obviously not the economy PC option.) Even if you were starting from scratch you'd probably have to really work to get it up to $5K with external monitor, external hard drives, peripherals, printer, etc.
Are you trying to make a point that it's unrealistic? Because there's definitely people that don't have to brush their teeth daily to maintain great dental health. Calling it magical bacteria is a bit of a hyperbole, but I figured anyone reading my post in good faith would catch that.

Resource extraction for batteries and EV will at its worst casue localized pollution. That is preferable to a high CO2 future that will make most of the global south.
Isn’t it really expensive to live there?

Also, while Dubai is flashy, I wouldn’t really consider it a first tier city in terms of actual living. The urban planning is not human scale at all and they just defaulted to highways and skyscrapers.
There is something seriously bothering me recently when I look back on last 20 years of computing.

> This supports dual Pentium III processors running at up to 1GHz and up to four RIMMs; the review machine had two 64MB modules for 128MB of dual-channel RDRAM.

I recently dug out from storage an old, from 2002, reasonably high spec Thinkpad (sorry don’t have exact specs on hand). I was obviously running Linux on it at the time as I’ve been using Linux as my primary operating system since 1995! Yes seriously I have.

Anyway. I decide to boot it up, knowing it was stored it pretty much ideal conditions. It works perfectly, except battery of course.

It only has 64MB ram! But everything runs, the web browser. And it’s fast.

I only spent about 1 hour playing round. But it left me distraught. What has happened that our web browsers use 2G of memory and are slow! What really is the software progress in last 20 years? Obviously the hardware has progressed massively but I couldn’t help but be concerned with how little improvement was immediately obvious, in fact it was so fast and reactive GUI, faster than today!
Is there a DIY version of this molecule?
I did that once. Never again.

This is a good idea, but I do have some issues:

RDBMS:

> A subquery is generally a smaller resultset that can be used to power a select query in many ways. It can be used in a ‘where’ condition, can be used in place of join mostly where a join could be an overkill.

In nearly all cases, a join will out-perform a subquery. If you don't need the joined table in the result, a semi-join is usually a good idea.

Unrelated, in discussing MySQL configs, they link to the docs for 5.7, not 8.x.

> Adaptive hash index: Supplements InnoDB’s B-Tree indexes with fast hash lookup tables like a cache. Slight performance penalty for misses, also adds maintenance overhead of updating it.

IME, on high-traffic DBs the hit ratio is so low (not to mention the mutex locks) that it's faster to just disable the AHI.

> [Joins are] powerful but also resource-intensive and makes scaling databases difficult. This is the cause of many slow performing queries when run at scale, and the solution is almost always to find ways to reduce the joins.

This seems to imply that the answer to slow queries involving joins is to denormalize, which while sometimes valid, is definitely not the preferred solution. If you have a slow query, odds are high that something isn't properly indexed, or your schema design is poor to begin with.

Bash scripts:

* Inconsistently quoting variables

* Exit status 2

* Seemingly being unaware of else if

* Backticks instead of $()

* Little to no discussion on pipes, and the vagaries they introduce
Do you have a better alternative to measurement in mind?
I mean, both of them are misogynistic because they’re financial transactions in which one is exchanging ownership of a woman.
Yes, and there’s a lag effect so the temperature will still increase for years after that.

However, to be clear, it’s unlikely we get to net zero in 27 years. We haven’t reached any of our goals so far and the goals only get more difficult

There are a few other minerals that have both higher refractive index and higher dispersion than diamonds, so they could be used to make more spectacular gems than the diamonds.

However the cheaper of them (e.g. rutile, i.e. titanium dioxide) are not suitable for rings, because they have lower hardness so they would be scratched by dust.

Among those hard enough, moissanite could be used for more spectacular optical effects than diamond, though normally it is used in such a way as to mimic diamond, instead of trying to use its superior optical characteristics, to make it stand out.

> Scientists have been building estimates of Earth’s average global temperature for more than a century, using temperature records from weather stations. But before 1880, there just wasn’t enough data

They always says "on record" or "ever measured" in these headlines. Which means it's since ~140 years, and we know that is very very likely that past temperature have been higher not long ago...
> no glacial ice on earth during the Cretaceous

That’s not quite what the evidence shows. The Cretaceous shows evidence for forest near the poles and it’s missing evidence for multiple mile thick ice sheets such as those that recently covered Manhattan Island etc. However currently there’s a glacier 170 km from the equator as altitude drops the temperature, such glaciers likely existed in the Cretaceous.

Ugh, I know exactly how this feels. You resist the urge so hard to say “I told you so” and instead relish in the fact that you saw it. “The Way”, so to speak.

I remember having to write cgi cookie handling code. I remember having to write session-cookie sync code. PHP was a small slice of heaven in the cgi world. Until it wasn’t. Still, being able to import libraries of script functions without having to recompile was wizardry. The problem with php now is they let a certain product somewhat dictate their direction. Class namespaces with slashes is the ugliest design choice.

What was your oss project that couldn’t get traction?
Note this is for a single car. Overall cars produced way more CO2. General aviation in general which I think includes private planes only admits maybe a 5th as much as passenger vehicles. That’s actually way higher than I expected, but again points to the fact that it isn’t a rich other causing global warming it’s more or less us. Though of course the rich have a vastly expanded impact and the truly poor do the least, but there are way less rich people

Until Domains, I mostly trusted google to keep running a paid b2b product with lots of users. Most of the famous products they've killed have been ones that either didn't bring in revenue, or never became popular.

After the Domains announcement, I can't in good conscience bring myself to spin up any new GCP services, and have started leaning more heavily on AWS. Part of me thinks that Domains is a signal that Google is planning a larger exit from the cloud business, given the GCP / Domains integration, and the absolutely atrocious comms from Google around Domains has not reassured me at all.

I have heard this role thrown around a lot more recently in our progression to cloud deployments. I still haven’t decided if this is just an attempt by companies to get even more work out of a single employee, or this new combined role is really a necessity.

You can install renewable energy at home. If it's cheap enough to overbuild by 3-5x and the grid is overcharging for it then people will do that instead, and then the grid ceases to operate in most places. There is a non-trivial possibility of that happening regardless if storage gets cheap enough, because local generation and storage would remove the cost of distribution and outcompete the grid.

More to the point, that clearly wouldn't be "free electricity"; it would be a huge tax on electricity -- on renewable electricity -- used to subsidize the energy use of carbon capture. That's not free because the market price is zero, it's "free" because someone else is paying for it.

It's also crazy. You have the ability to offer cheap renewable energy and you're going to not? What kind of misanthropic policy is that?
This is natural progression. The apex predator takes over and over-grazes the land, so to speak, to the point where it no longer supports the apex, so eventually the apex predator dies off, and the other species that are left can flourish.
What is the point in even making a low effort comment like this? It sounds very much like a low-key way of trying to downplay news like this without offering any substantial debate, facts, or evidence.

All the scientific studies show our planet is heating up and it’s overwhelmingly likely that it’s due to mankind’s activity. All the predictions scientists made over the last 20 years have largely come to pass (and in reality some of the predictions have happened even faster than we thought) and it’s likely we are all going to suffer along with our families as we go through more and more extreme weather and heat events over the next 50 years.

This is happening, and we have to acknowledge it and get cracking on solving it.
Enterprise sales has no commission at Google? Or is the commission small?
There is a trap when talking about productivity, that everything can be reduced to time. But quality of work is a factor of productivity too.

What is rarely taken into account is that offloading mental energy can lead to better solutions.

For example, I make two paintings. Both take me ten hours, but for the second one I was sitting in a more comfortable chair, in a calm room, and the resulting painting is significantly better.

Less friction might not manifest as a big numerical statistic that you can look at and nod your head in approval, but it might do wonder for the internal levels of stress one feels in interacting with devices. And ultimately, that's what matters most.
there is something odd about their results. the compound was found not to be effective at either 0.1x or 10x of the effective dose. and they don't really explain why. this kind of dose-response curve makes it impractical to use.

I have extended family members who lived in war zone in the past couple of years. Somebody just started bombing their city. They had to move.

So yeah sorry to hear but it's one of those many sucky situations in life. The lack of options is illusory. Mental issues are mental issues, slavery is slavery, misfortune as a free person is misfortune as a free person.

Sounds like grounds to sue for the "messed up" process? If not I assume if whoever it is worked 20 years in the US they have experience that can be valued in many countries. I'd recommended checking around the more reasonable ones like Canada or Australia. As free person can.
Yes, good job. Let’s dig a little deeper though.

That's what I'm saying. When a library uses "spawn" it is generally assuming a runtime, typically tokio (although in my experience a lot of libraries are generic).
That works really well until the trees catch on fire, which has been happening more frequently in recent times.
Very cool!

I do my business expense categorization manually and once a year. I thought that the categorization took the most time, but this year I timed it, and doing the imports took the longest (because I have multiple bank accounts, multiple cards) - log in, figure out how to export as csv, export, realize that I need to export with different settings, find that, repeat for all cards and bank accounts and transaction sources.

Does anyone know if there's something like YNAB but instead of only importing future transactions, something that will allow me to do historical import via Plaid? Would pay $50/mo if it worked really well. I'm hoping there'd be something that'd allow me to get a historical import of transactions.

It'd be great if with one click I could get all of my transactions from every bank account and every card during the 2023 year, and including transaction details that exist on payment provider websites but not on the bank/card (e.g. Paypal, venmo, Apple, Amazon transactions where the detail of what the purchase was is not shown on the statement), all into one spreadsheet, and then put them into this tool.

I found Phoenix in the summer to be uninhabitable for me even decades ago. The fact that ~2 million people live in that area, mostly without being forced to, gives me hope for the survivability of our species on a warming globe.

Just not for my particular genome. My survival strategy was to stay in air conditioned spaces and carefully plan my movements from one such place to another like a astronaut preparing for an EVA.
Considering that the company I work for tried to hide their gender pay discrimination by "releveling" all the women who were getting systematically underpaid, you should in fact report these data without disaggregation.

"Those people make less because they are all lower level" is not a mitigating factor for pay discrimination.
I know this has changed over time, but MIT's CS curriculum used to be really heavy on theory and light on industry-relevant practice (of course, students can choose a lot of their own courses past the core). For example, the intro course was taught in Scheme of all languages.

A problem with this approach is that deleting a file from source/ does not delete it from build/.

In my own projects, simply rebuilding the whole site is fast enough, so I opt to remove the whole build folder before a rebuild:

https://github.com/jez/jez.github.io/blob/source/Makefile#L1...

This defeats a big part of why you’d want a build system in the first place (incremental builds), but at least if you know the page you want to regenerate you can still `make` that file directly.

If there’s a common workaround for this pattern in makefiles I’d love to learn it.
