There’s one complaint I agree about, if it is justified:

- when migrating to a new machine, permissions granted should be migrated, too (I haven’t verified and doubt it somewhat, but the article claims that doesn’t happen, saying “Every time I opened an app on my Mac after […] migrating or installing a major OS update, I was barraged with security warnings.”)

There also is one I have mixed feelings about:

- “Why am I asked to approve three or four items in sequence instead of being given some sort of simple window indicating all the permissions that are being requested, allowing me to approve or disapprove individually or all at once?”

AFAIK, Apple’s answer is “because applications should only ask for them when they need it, not at initial run”, but if many applications start requesting them at startup, is it in the best interest of users to ignore that?

I also think it has to be easy to get answers to both “which permissions did I give Foo.app?” and “which applications can have permission to do bar”? Both take way too many mouse clicks currently. I know it would look daunting to show that entire thing as a matrix, but I think it would be a major step forward for power users. In addition to those questions, it would make it easier to compare permissions between similar applications (e.g. comparing permissions given to Chrome vs those given to Firefox)
I think a lot of people in the US refuse to see as "communal spaces" what lots of other people in the US use as their communal spaces.
With a McKinsey and startup background I would almost guarantee he is not shooting for the more affordable end of the stick.
This made my day. Bursted out laughing while waiting in line in an immigration office.

Many years ago, I interviewed somewhere where the HR manager gave me hell. It was a roller coaster emotions. She would say something funny, I would laugh and then she'd take note seriously. Out of the blue, she would ask about my childhood, then switch to why do I look stressed. I had 6 technical interviews before her that went well. I had just lost a family member, talking with her was a nail in my coffin. I was surprised when they called me back.

Two years at the job, a deranged guy accosted us at lunch with my team. He made everyone feel uncomfortable before leaving. Turns out, this was the guy I had replaced. After he was hired he turned into a lunatic who would threaten anyone who questioned his code. The stress test HR made me go through was designed to filter these people out.

I'd like to believe I'm not a psycho since I passed the test, but I don't think it did what it was designed to do. Two of my coworkers are now convicted murderers. One of them with a famous televised trial that just ended last month.

Colour picker??? Something fishy about this dog.
One thing I've never been able to figure out is if there is an existing taxonomy of glyphs not based on from where they originated, but purely based on the shape and appearance of the glyph. Like topology for two dimensions: this glyph has one hole in it, this glyph has two. Unfortunately, just listing holes is about the extent of my imagination.
You are completely out of touch with reality and the people from all walks of life who have and care for pets. Please keep your terrible opinions to yourself.
We can talk about other negative aspects of being a vet, but the primary factor is that they know how:

> But that reality of the job can also colour the way veterinarians view human lives – including their own – and for those already experiencing suicidal ideation, it can provide a simple justification: death is preferable to suffering. In a 2021 survey by pharmaceutical company Merck, 12.5% of the veterinarians surveyed said they were "suffering". And nearly half of the respondents were not receiving mental health care.

> "There's an idea that veterinarians work on the belief that it's right to euthanise a hopeless case," says Volk, "and we are seeing ourselves, emotionally, as hopeless cases."

> Death is a routine and repeated part of the job, and while it's never easy to end a life, Volk adds that it is easy to start seeing it as an option to alleviate their own distress. "I have medications in my clinic that are called 'Euthasol', and I euthanise all the time," she says. "Literally like five or six times a night."

> The CDC's 2019 study identified poisoning as the most common cause of death among veterinarians. The primary drug used was pentobarbital, one of the main medications used for animal euthanasia. The study’s authors determined that "training on euthanasia procedures and access to pentobarbital are some of the key factors contributing to the problem of suicide among veterinarians".

What often stops otherwise suicidal folks is that it's not an easy thing to do - suicide attempts usually do not lead to deaths (https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/psychiatry-... - 5.4% according to one study, and the denominator here is # of people. not # of attempts). Vets on the other hand are trained to put down animals painlessly and effectively - it's not a surprise that those that have the means to complete suicide and have plenty of experience applying this to other animals then die disproportionately from suicide.
That’s why you ideally have a city with a good public transportation schedule - it’s not like having a car makes your transit planning immune to external factors anyways.
I agree. Emacs defaults are battle hardened and work well in exotic and regular hardware for all kinds of use cases. I modify defaults to remove the extra fluff (tool bars, menus, scroll bars, yes-or-no), but I see their value to new users. Luckily Emacs is the most customizable editor on the planet so everyone can be happy using it and write their thoughts about it.
Thanks for mentionning it.

For the most part electrons don't move through the wire, that would be very inefficient.
My guess is it's the combination of:

1. A pushback against code standards a lot of organizations have

2. The ego a lot of individuals have that is incompatible with #1

again, just guessing
I really don't see how this is necessary. I'm in what I would consider a walkable neighborhood right now. In fact, I walk all the time. The biggest reason I still have a car, that I almost never use, is going to medical appointments. Nothing can ever make that walkable when they're 20 miles away and I have to get there during business hours. Before working from home, it was needing to drive to the office, which you can do away with by having metroplex-wide public transit that spans an entire city and its major suburbs. There isn't shit you can do at the neighborhood level.

Getting rid of cars is not necessary. New York City is probably the most walkable city in the United States and it's full of cars. But the sidewalks are enormous, consistently open, construction projects are required to provide routes for pedestrians. I grew up in a place in Southern California that was pretty walkable, but most of Southern California is definitely not. The biggest difference wasn't whether or not cars existed. Aside from the sidewalks, it's more that you need to limit the number of arterial roads, their size, and the blocks a vehicle can expect to traverse before hitting a stop. Aside from everything being so far away, the biggest factors preventing people from just going for leisurely strolls without a specific destination is the danger posed by roads that take a long time to get across and cars doing highway speeds on those roads. It worked out where I grew up, even though it was a suburb, because the roads were small, we weren't near any highways, plus I lived on an actual cul de sac, but the end of the road only blocked cars from going further, not pedestrians.
Yes, real possibility, but note that the direction is still away from H1 and towards batteries
This appears to be visual comparisons of graphs of various automated measurements. Lossy codecs are designed to exploit weaknesses of human hearing, so the only way to test if they're working as intended is with listening tests. This is most conveniently done with ABX testing software. If that high frequency roll off is really noticeable you should be able to produce a statistically significant result.

Here's an online ABX test of 320kbps MP3 using a modern encoder:

http://abx.digitalfeed.net/lame.320.html

Very few people are capable of hearing the difference, and even then only in difficult-to-encode samples. I don't think it's reasonable to call something of this quality "crap".
Given that I use my drills for things unrelated to making holes, I paid for a drill, not holes.
That’s not what the GP is talking about. It’s some right wing talking point about how libraries have books about minorities.
Yeah, it's definitely a pretty odd headline, considering many millions of farmers use the good ol' fashioned method to this day.
Does this at all make the external costs of climate change internal costs?
I am a dog attack survivor. I was 10 years old, I spend a few weeks in hospital.

self-driving cars are also much worse at handling the ambiguity of mixed vehicle-human spaces. They work best when the infrastructure is specifically dedicated to them - a place designed for cars.
> While Amazon opens up its platform for anyone to sell for a small commission fee

For me that is the root of Amazon's problems that I have now. That is where all the fakes, and counterfeits, and dangerous devices exist.

Instead of encouraging more small sellers, Amazon needs to police them much, much better.
But it didn't. Before, we knew that one of those two doors could contain either a prize or a goat. After, we know the same exact thing. No information was gained there.
>It also feels a lot like how Monsanto tricked Indian farmers into using their seeds which required Roundup and then became indentured servants for the rest of their lives because of the financial handcuffs put on them.

I think it's actually the exact opposite of this. The farm now has a fertilizer factory that produces fertilizer for free. They are no longer reliant on buying ammonia from big companies.
I thought it was political satire at first.
The idea of a 'car-free lifestyle' is not about never needing a car. It is about not going absolutely everywhere in a car.

It's more a freedom from a car-dependance, than it is about being rid of a car altogether (although many do that).
Why bother with the "ban" if there are exemptions? They'd just be saying that it's OK to take 2-3 times as long to poison the place completely.

When I was young, the first profession I said I wanted to be was a Vet. I was obsessed with it. I loved all animals, but dogs the most. Still do.

Over the years of having my own pets at some point I realized I would be dealing with animals in their worst condition. Sick, injured, and suffering. I knew I would be bonding with animals I would rarely see and maybe even be responsible for putting them to sleep when the time came. I knew I definitely did not want to be a vet.

I know a few vets, and I know they have that same love for animals. I don’t know how they do it.
That's SPIRV shader bytecode. Does Vulkan actually come with an integrated shader compiler these days? Otherwise there's not much one can do for a standalone sample like that.
Questionable take. The best road "citizens" are trams, trains, and subways. They all obey traffic laws and are reliable. Self-driving cars don't exist in any meaningful way. The most realistic route to walkable neighborhoods is good public transit, bike infrastructure, and repealing of restrictive zoning. Walkable neighborhoods already exists all over Europe and work today unlike the pipe dream of self-driving cars.
Because looking for a parking place is so much better...

There are places where a car is nice, or even necessary (sports requiring large equipment for example, trips with the family), and then there is over using cars and building cities that require cars even if it can be done differently.
I agree, backup-by-copying should be t by default.
EFCore 8 is now able to do custom queries into on-demand types without views. This means you can drop to manually optimized queries at any time!
Very cool tool. It looks like the browser base encodes a recording and sends it to a server. I'm aware that some browsers support different type of recording mimeTypes (webm, wav) - did you have any cross-browser difficulties? Or anything of interest when solving this problem?
Component testing is trivial in test runners that run tests in browsers, like @web/test-runner. We use that exclusively on Lit and Angular is adopting it too. It'll run tests in Puppeteer, Playwright, local browsers via WebDriver, Sauce, etc.
We've been using Bluedot for couple of months already and it has been a huge boost in productivity. We often go back to meetings (especially with clients) and review things. We are already starting to use it as a knowledge base for our dev team.
Learning the order of padding/border/margin and how they interact with each other and width/height was the tipping point for me. There used to be a good article on mdn for it, but their introductory page now looks like a bad replacement to me: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_box_mod...

If nothing else, the image at the top is more confusing than it needs to be, the old one was much better. It didn't used to refer to edges, but the margin/border/etc itself, which is what you're actually dealing with in CSS.

The box model combined with the box-sizing page makes probably the biggest WTF people have with CSS pretty obvious IMO (why "width: 100%" is bigger than 100%): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing

If the reason for that makes sense to you, I think that makes you well above average among frontend devs. All the new stuff like flex and grid is still built on the box model after all.
That does help - if nothing else, adding up the outcomes manually helps to demonstrate it in a way that's not really easy to grasp on first glance. It still is kind of a spooky result which makes no sense, but at least I feel a little better about the correctness.
It's complicated for non-millionaries follow some rules. Not everybody can afford to have EV and some people depend of a car to carry tools to go to work.
How do they not require parking? What do you do with them when people aren't using them? They're either parked or circulating idle. If they're circulating you can only have a more walkable neighborhood by excluding them, which means they are elsewhere and making those neighorhoods less walkable.

In some ways rideshare has given a preview of this model and it simply is not the future. Cars can't save us from cars.
Schedules are irrelevant when frequencies are high enough. If you look at the most successful public transport systems (e.g. in London, Paris and Berlin) trains frequencies are often at least every ten minutes off-peak and can be every two-three minutes in the peak times. At those frequencies you can literally just turn-up and travel.
> Two of my coworkers are now convicted murderers.

Wut. Does that include the guy you replaced? Any more details here?
What do you mean? Commercial file mangers exist for decades now. They are a bit out of style with everything being open source, but the old guard is still around on Windows & MacOS, and new fledglings appear on mobile regularly.
I was curious to see what this looks like, so I clicked the link.

All of the pictures in the article totally tell me a different story: it looks like a generic concrete wasteland. The hero picture has an ugly chain link fence and what looks like a parking lot in the foreground. The picture of the interior of the model apartment is nothing more than an arty shot of a door (?)

I'll be honest, it looks like a post-apocalyptic brutalist concrete jungle to me. I wanted to like it, but there's no way I would live in this place.
As far as I could tell, they could link the hospital admission, OB admission (the hospital runs a separate system for OB) and doctor to the scripts. The RhoGAM was filled by the hospital pharmacy, and other scripts were filled by CVS.

My understanding is that "anonymized" data leaks from subrogration and the PBM as well that can be un-anonymized later.
I have no problem with thank you notes; I think they’re courteous and easy to send. It never hurts. If you don’t get hired you lose nothing, and if you do, you’re starting on a pleasant note.

But I would definitely want to know more about the governance of an organization that can sustain such a policy as categorically rejecting a candidate (read: contribution) for not meeting an unexpressed expectation.
> The truth of the matter is that most people cannot justify spending thousands of dollars on a pet, no matter how much they are loved, and that DOES NOT make them bad or unfit owners.

I'd argue not having the means to deal with emergency situations would make someone unfit to own a pet.

I get that circumstances can change and costs increase, but I also feel too many people assume a pet doesn't cost much or isn't much of a comitment.

You're right that the costs are crazy, and not taking it into account when deciding to take or keep a pet is irresponsible.
Recently, we hat to add some front-end tests for the admin panel of the product. QA jointly with front-end team decided to use Cypress. I think, front-end were already using it for unit tests (aptly named by Cypress end-to-end tests), and QA decided to piggy-back on that...

I was involved with some automation process where I also had to touch the contents of these tests. Dear lord... I never liked Selenium, but this thing... it's so hilariously bad. Well, maybe I've not touched anything front-end related for a while, so I'm getting out of touch with the depth of stupidity modern Web development plunged into.

But... if this decision (of blocking someone) adversely affects Cypress and helps them disappear, I will only be happier. This is just an insanely bad product with insanely bad ideas. I struggle to comprehend how something like this gets so much attention and so much work put into it.
I think the fact that it is NYC might have a more outsized effect than it being walkable. Tokyo felt like a very walkable city, whilst still being so densely populated...in conjunction with its amazing public transport it was a wonderful experience.
You probably don't need to go crazy with stuff like that. Speed cameras seem like effective deterrents. When I drove around the UK, speed cameras were everywhere and people generally all did the speed limit or below.

The USA has a weird cultural obsession with being able to break certain laws. We need to rethink that. If we aren't enforcing laws, then we need to get rid of them, if we don't want to get rid of them, then we need to enforce them.
Lenses affect color contrast too. I don't fully grasp it but internal reflections adding neutral white bias or correction tradeoffs between geometry and color or something. Aperture can be widened as much as lens barrel allows so that isn't it.
Is there a non-screenshot version available of this?

The first point is about having clear policies and consistent/predictable application there-of. Thierry talks about a change regarding "latest changes in public interest policies"... does anyone have a link or information on what Twitter changed?

The second point is about timely & objective takedowns of illegal content. Third is "proportionate and effective mitigation measures to tackle the risks to public security and civil discourse stemming from disinformation."

I guess I need to dive in and read it, but the asks here make me feel the Digital Services Act demands a perfect utopian system. They are murky enough so that there is zero way I could ever be in the clear, feel confident; someone will always be accusing me of inconsistently applying my policies, or someone will always be able to say that this post or that post means I am not stemming disinformation actively enough.

It's quite the turn, but I am interested & somewhat excited to see a world where these topics are up for discussion, where there's some light on how & where these happen. But I worry that nothing is good enough, that we could have councils of wisened elders (in a diverse array of languages, with express & direct access to local cultural experts & fact checkers) approving every post that - no matter how we try - we're going to do a pretty shabby job of a lot of this. The asks don't feel moderate; they feel infinite, and feel like the asks could only be satisfied in a fantastic Utopia where everything makes sense & everyone works together. But what I do like is that these important issues are up for discussion, that we have to have some discourse about them, that they don't get to remain invisible implicit decisions within medium & large social media organizations forever.
Back when I was working for a company that did take home challenges, those who passed had their challenge as the topic of conversation for the final interview. For those who didn't, I gave written feedback, at least a page if not two.

My thinking was if someone took time to give me something, they deserved something in return, even if it wasn't a job.
There may be a cultural component. A few very poor 1st-generation immigrant Dominican and Cambodian communities near me are actually super walkable (e.g. grocery store and schools within 10-15 min walk). Same with the much richer historic downtown. It seems that the white and 2nd+ generation Hispanic upwardly-mobile middle classes actually have the most car-bound lifestyle around here. Maybe being able to afford an isolated yet stroad-surrounded single-family home is kind of a trap in the long run.
What was the job and industry? Two murderers in one company is unusual
I think its normal to be able to empathize with vets. I don't think I'd really want to be around someone who doesn't empathize with dealing with wounded and dying animals.
I mean, maybe? But who was the leader of the Soviet Union in early World War 2? Like, obviously, for all practical purposes, it was Stalin, and he was treated as such. But he was never the head of state, and he wasn't the head of government until 1941. At a certain point, it's not unreasonable to assume that the person who actually is in charge, is in charge, and ignore the figurehead altogether.

A CEO isn't really a particularly well-defined position under companies law anyway, in most cases. It's whatever the board says it is.
Also, as for "Once that cash cow is gone maybe vet school prices will come down to earth." - the source of the rising cost is a combination of two things, neither one of which has anything to do with small animal medicine:

1) The loss of industry support for large animal vets

2) The loss of state funding for veterinary schools, which has put pressure on the one remaining dial available to those schools, which is tuition. This is a systemic problem that extends way beyond vet schools, but is particularly obvious there
TBH, I thought the original post was bland. I'm glad I checked the comments, because your comment was a rollercoaster to say the least.
