its a prize drawing app we use on Devs Norte to award folks during the events we make

the main goal is to be quick to create a room and quicker to enter one

many things I need to do to make it better tho

it's made with liveview and the initial version was built live on my youtube channel in 1h iirc
Technically I don't doubt a single word you say, you're clearly familiar with the matter and I'm not. But as a layman standing on the sidelines the two look the same.
Do find it out that a small country like UK can force a world wide requirements, though. I think they should only consider their own market and not force the Ubisoft
Horses for courses though, I would prefer my council do mundane maintenance than build a cathedral.

Maintenance isn't sexy or grand but it is good for the normal, everyday people who have to use the stuff to do the things.

Bigger infrastructure projects are often done by the state.

But for more frivolous, would never happen otherwise stuff, certainly a single deep pocket is a good thing to reach into.
It's going to be very exciting if we get it down to picometer, even if it is the equivalent to 0.9nm.
Try GeForce Now. I think Streaming is nonsense and it's a complete waste of time, but every time I tried GeForce Now I was massively impressed with both the quality and the latency of the experience.
GOO was really fun, especially when you used a Logitech ScanMan the pictures were already smudged before you even loaded them in the actual app.
For an anniversary with my wife once I took her on a VR tour of all the photospheres that I'd captured over the years at places like our old apartment or on holidays. Seeing places with strong memories but almost being there felt really meaningful, and she really loved it! So I'll really miss the photo sphere camera :(
I think it's rather "pick your poison". It's not like there are non-sucky options available. And I mean this generally.
At this point cisco should fire whoever did this. After 10 years they should have policies and software guards in place to prevent this
You mean like some kind of organisation designed to regulate the behaviours of businesses and individuals over the long term such that the general population isn't exploited or abused by the few, and tragedy of the commons style problems can be avoided?
Even if they take the stance that Linux is a terrible thing, forcing terrible things on their users is hardly a new practice for Microsoft.
Their audio quality is distinctly worse, I tried a couple.
This isn’t wrong or right. It is an opinion on how to live.

You aren’t forced too. You need to look up what ’forced’ really means. I’m not saying it isn’t hard though.
Not going to happen. Most online services require applications that access them to embed hard-coded, obfuscated passwords in the binaries. That doesn't really work for open-source software, and Thunderbird's hard-coded passwords are easily viewed:

https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/file/tip/mailnews/base/s...

I don't quite understand how we ended up in this situation. These passwords are more like user-agent strings. But they are still passwords in the sense that without any of them, you can't access (the authentication providers for) those online services.
I feel like the industry has been actively trying to suppress tech workers wages for at least the last 15 years.

I am hoping that this message coming from someone with as much Karma as I have will be a signal that I'm not trying to troll- though what I say next will definitely be controversial.

The push for "everyone can code" and the large investment in coding bootcamps (especially focused on diversity to increase the pool as much as possible) and the rise of tools like leetcode (many backed directly and indirectly by big tech companies, especially google) creates a very wide funnel to create as many software engineers as the market will allow.

A large demand can still be a comparatively low demand if your supply is larger.

It's my firm belief that the needs of software engineers hasn't gone down at all; just that we have enough software engineers now that we're not "special" and thus we can be paid like normal administrative staff like project managers and other white collar work.
I wonder how that might work in a virtual environment. Scrollbars are about overflow of content for a given screen+window size; with AR/VR in a way we're working without any screen size, so this UX could take some different form.

For example, Apple's TouchBar - a separate screen - in my opinion offered good scrolling UX and often with minimap support too. I'd like to see an extension of that, i.e. a large unified VR scrollbar.
May be they are so busy figuring out how to upload our data to their servers and sneak in clauses in their terms and conditions to cover it ... that they forgot to build the actual functionality of showing search results to user.
This is why the Pomodoro apps exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique
Gotcha. In the US, if you tried to keep that system, you’d need a different printed MSRP per tax nexus and books in warehouses would no longer be fungible.
The Advice SaaS Startup Founders Would Give Their Younger Selves
Also, customers should switch away from Cisco as they clearly do not take security at all seriously.
I’ve not followed the PQC competition very closely, but I don’t think djb’s arguments significantly impact whether you should use KYBER-512. From my reading, as someone with a decent amount of crypto knowledge, all the evidence suggests that it is more than secure enough. The rest of the stuff is at the level of “submit an erratum”, not “omg cancel the whole thing”.

If anything, this reinforces my belief that KYBER is a good design. If this is the best he can come up with to try and discredit it, then it must be pretty solid.
This is a fairly common occurrence, a company taking on investment not realizing that this is giving them both an opportunity and a massive change in direction as well as reduced options. Because to keep those investors happy a lot of those 'lean' landing strategies are no longer on the table, it's a bit like a junkie getting a first shot of a new and dangerous drug. The drug isn't free but you don't quite realize that at that moment in time. But once your initial supply runs low and you need more it turns out that there was a price to pay after all.

CEO's believing that investors and company/founder goals are aligned are in for a very rude awakening except in the 3% or so cases where it all works out. For the rest of them that initial boost can cause spending and a company profile well in excess of what is sustainable and the step down to a sustainable level may well kill the company. That's sad, but what's even more sad is that a company in the same space that was run in a responsible way without playing the VC game may well end up being outcompeted before the VC money runs out in their funded competitor.
I think this is an interesting point - I work in supply chain and commonly when tendering companies will say things like:

"We have been profitable for 20 years straight"

Being profitable in SCM is a sales point, being unprofitable is a risk.
I wouldn't know if it is malice. We won't know unless somebody catches them red handed with an email to prove it.

But I don't think it is malice. The engineer in me says that there are just too many eyes looking at the software and that it is just too easy for somebody to identify a password and that the consequences of it are too costly for the company.

And I can think of a zillion ways to leave a backdoor that is much more difficult to detect.

Of course, this does not absolve them from responsibility in any way. The core responsibility, the core product they provide is security. And not only they are showing they can't provide a secure product, they prove they simply do not learn and do not care to fix it.
There are plenty of ways to do this without completely bricking second-hand devices.

For example, allow the Macbook to be wiped and reused, but inform the previous owner and ask them if it has been stolen. Yes? Trigger lockdown. No? Release ownership to the new user.
Kiesel Devlog #4 – Updates on Building a JavaScript Engine
Beyond the periodic table: Superheavy elements and ultradense asteroids
Or maybe the two truths can coexist: some people will worship SpongeBob and others Taylor Swift, all will attend both live and virtual shows of both, with the only negative consequence that SpongeBob will now eat (more of) the cake of some other human artist. It's still displacement just slightly less dramatic. As for myself, I'm a simple man, going only to cellar live shows which cannot be replaced by AI as the very reason of being there is... being there with the artist. So the AI seems to only threaten the pop industry, not undeserved if you ask me.
Unfortunately, that is not a political reality. The federal government does not have the power to enforce sales tax rules on the states.
The point of this laptop is that you can upgrade the cpu/gpu. But I would wait a couple of generations for this.

I am a gen 1 batch 2 supporter and I stopped using mine after a year when the M2 Air came out. Mine is unusable since it throttles to 200Mhz under load and is difficult for it to recover. That load being normal software development or any game. It now sits running BOINC tasks at 80% CPU because it will throttle if I set it to 100% CPU.
>>e.g. Fallout 4 having four choices at any point in any conversation has zero to do with "writing" or "game design" and everything to do with a controller having 4 buttons)

That's an extremely weird argument. Literally no one at Bethesda was being stopped from writing compelling dialogue choices for that game because controllers only have 4 buttons - it's a choice they made conciously, they wanted to simplify the dialogue trees and that's what they ended up with. To even suggest that it's because of consoles is........just odd man. Like, it's not a thing. I've worked in video games for long enough to tell you that the number of controller buttons would never even make it into a discussion about these things, unless it was coming directly from Todd Howard or something.
Hey, would be up for chatting. After doing some stuff at work with OpenAI I am quite enthusiastic about creating bots / "talk to your docs" type SaaS, but wondering where to start with it all. Especially the channels, who is buying the downstream stuff (is it marketing depts? small companies? busy execs?). I have an email in my bio if you want to reach out :-) [https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=quickthrower2]
Yes, which is why the meme that there are more open positions than engineers is bollocks. That might've been the case in the era of free money (RIP 2008-2020), when tech was in a hiring spree and engineers switched jobs every 6 months.
Competition ?
Yup, but everything will reset. If a tree falls on earth and no humans exist, does it matter? Of course but entities that don’t have a sense of human importance and time aren’t attached like the virus we are.
I personally think this attitude is 100% natural.

Computers were always sold to me as assistance and aids in order to automate tasks so I can enjoy my life more. I think this not giving a fuck attitude is directly part of this. If the thing works, it'll probably do and I can go back to enjoying the sunshine rather than sitting in some dank cubicle trying to be awesome.
Remember:
Bigger is Better
Economies of Scale

They both benefit the few and sacrifice the many but are sold as ways to "reduce" costs and hence prices for the masses.
How was the experience from not being acknowledge by AMD, because you were not big enough, to going to be the first once shipping their new flagship laptop CPU after all their other customers moved their timeline out? I imagine their willingness to support you did increase in the last few months?

Eagerly awaiting my batch to ship. Very happy that I see a great team being in charge of this product.

Also thanks for being proactive in supporting the Linux community.
I have to say that what I slways loved about these os was the bitmap icons, the colorful tone to stick out I think even today works really well (except when they got the same icon in the backgroundwoth the front icon being different like web browser vs internet settings).
It's a completely sensible reason to avoid products that are undependable by design.

Many Apple "engineering" decisions favor the walled garden over robustness; for example, I am unable to update many important applications on my old work Macintosh because they were installed from the app store using an "Apple account", or whatever it's called, that cannot be used anymore because the colleague who knew the password has left the company; having a privileged account on the computer isn't good enough.
My extension already does that kind of automation for bookmarks. Thanks.
I kinda hoped, before clicking the link, to find some reasoning (compatibility blablabla, poor Cisco not having resources to make it right, etc, any reason at all, doesn't have to be a good one) behind this, but was disappointed that it's just another instance of business as usual.

("This is fine".)
No. Sales tax in the US is determined based on the location where the customer takes possession of the merchandise.
Let's check the laws of physics then: Typical latency in games is about 25-80 ms [1]. What's your ping to the closest GeForce Now server? For me it's 10 ms.

Oh what a trip down memory lane. Software of that era had really interesting UI and UX. I made a winamp skin that was a blob (of my face, or perhaps my dad's) after using Kai's Power Goo.
>>The intent is for your entire computer to work that way eventually.

Who has that intent, exactly?
On the contrary, some new monitors are so bright even on their lowest setting that you have to find alternative solutions.
Why wouldn't businesses have landline phones?

Mobiles are for a single individual. Landlines are to a single location.

If I ring X corp, I don't really care if I speak to Bob or Barbara, I often don't know if I want to speak to Bob or Barbara.

In the same way I'll email enquiries@xcorp.com not bob@xcorp.com
Now if someone could make this but with food, they'd get all my money.

An app where you can draw with emojis and then copy your art as text and send it via, e.g., messenger. I want to make it a full-featured drawing app with undo/redo, line drawing tool, circle/square, etc.

https://sourcemap.tools/

A tool to unminify JavaScript stack traces. You paste your stack trace and provide source maps, and it deciphers your stack trace and allows you to find the origin of an error.
Such car exists. It is basically any modern car. Even your beloved Tesla. It needs an activation by Tesla and they can revoke that and lock it up at will.

You beloved Porsche is this way as a theft prevention, when you bought the right options.

IRC Renault doesn't sell you the battery for your electric car. You need to rent it. Then it is in the contract, that if you miss your payment that they can lock down the battery and as such the car.
Well, they have Touch ID on Macbooks now and Face ID is coming soon. Feels like we're not that far off.

Oh yes, retroactive justification is mostly what people do. And aren't aware that they're doing it most of the time.

Most muggers don't try to justify themselves philosophically, thankfully. That would just make the experience even more painful.
Hypothesising:

- Some kind of MS branded Linux, that offers improved security/performance/usability etc. it’ll offer full compatibility with existing distros like Debian that devs are already familiar with, but it’ll come pre-setup on windows and it’ll have an amazing integration with GitHub, VSCode and azure, and probably their K8s product too. Much like VSCode they’ll use their influence to get devs used to using it. They’ll probably sponsor a bunch of major OSS projects to use it and start offering features specific to it, bits of it will be “open sourced soon” or similar. The position of power and control will be exerted over it-much the same way Google does with chrome and how that is “open source”.

- a linux compatible api layer over windows, with the angle of “no reason to need Linux anymore”, they’ll angle for large enterprise customers first, offering a Linux-compatible experience, to convert them. Similar experience with above, where the end to end (local to cloud) experience will be the focus. Once again they’ll integrate with existing tooling and major OSS players with the same goal-be so seamless and tightly integrated, and “works with existing tools” that devs will flock to it the way they do with chrome. Orgs and projects will switch to supporting it, probably because the overall experience is superior.

That’s a couple of ideas off the top of my head, we could probably all come with some more scenarios.
Flexport is offering actual forwarding and logistics services, Wisetech global only the software needed to run those services.

That being said, CargoWise one is actually one of my top recommondations when it comes to logistics software. Cloudbased, reasonable pricing, all tue necessary functionalities available out of the box, great customs integration worldwide (including other trade compliance things like embargoes), providing instant transparency and trackong across multiple compabies if your partners also use CargoWise (they just open the database of / for your partners for your shipments), covers air / sea land trabsportation and warehousing, has automatic access to the global tracking data for air and sea freight...

The only eeakness, if you want to call it that, is in specialized warehousing solutions (multi-box articles come to mind). But then I never went deep enough to find out howuch customized development can be done. Worst case, you link a specialized WMS, CargoWise interfaces are good as well.
Oh, didn't realise, sorry. They're lovely little cars.
I am thinking that most of the time you want your applications full screen with tiling been an advanced user kind of thing

I myself mostly use MacOS without tilling, I just keep all my applications full screen and use multiple workspaces. I prefer to have a single big (32'' at the moment) monitor and just switch workspaces instead

But if MacOS had better tilling support I would probably use it more.
> root-holed crap from Lucky Good Fast Router Co. this week, then that company vanishes and Amazon sells amazingly similar crap from Good Lucky Fast Router Co.

Even cheap routers start putting passwords on them that look randomized.

Look, it shouldn't be that hard. One would expect that since manufacturers surely can produce unique serial numbers and MAC addresses and put them both into hardware and on the sticker on the bottom, a unique pair of credentials should be a piece of cake. Right? Right?
There's also the look-elsewhere effect[1][2] to contend with.

The post talks (mainly) about documenting code, but what I usually miss is documentation about the whole repo/project/service. For any piece of code, I can manage to figure out what's going on (unless it's written in a way that's actually on purpose deceiving), but to understand how multiple modules work together (or why), to understand the purpose of the whole thing, that's rather difficult or impossible to know just by looking at the code.

So a big README.md file explaining the repo (why it exists, who are the interested parties, etc.) is better than the "little" documentation here and there about types, functions, examples, etc. Obviously I would love to have both, but the former is more useful than the latter imho.

So does Discord. The 15000 notifications settings it has is spread over three or four places behind completely different settings/dropdowns/sheets: https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/1695121977118245145
I agree on the content but disagree with the title.

If you write tons of doctested documentation, that's a good thing?

Imho, there is never enough documentation. Even if it's outdated, it's still better than reading directly the source code and guessing everything from scratch.
As another note: there are times when you on the wave, part of something and there are good things happening. This only lasts so long.
Again, applies in work and outside.
Form your own view but be aware of cynicism (in others and yourself). This comes from broad experience of humanity. We are in the shit but there really are groups of incredible people that merged together, do amazing things. Find that.
I'm pretty sure the year for this article should be 1980, not 1999. According to Jimmy Maher, this was an article that was written for Byte magazine around the time of Zork's release.
> No, they aren't.

Yeah they are.

> ALL displays these days are high-dpi, when you compare to the 640x480 and 800x600 screens that were normal in the late 1990s.

Leaving side your wilful misunderstanding of fairly standard concepts, no they are not: the monitors you are talking about were generally tiny, and the minor increase in median pixel density was largely counteracted by the blocky precision of LCD pixels.
I just feel like doing nice wood work is a lot easier than building shit on top of shit. Mostly I mean, an organization is full of shit, shit process, software and unfortunately, people.
It takes a high level of mastery and maturity to know when to bust out the scalpel and start cutting the cancer out and know how to do it effectively without re-occurrence.

The first thing a good carpenter will do is make sure the house they're about to renovate is square and true. If it's not, they will have tricks to make the walls square and true, they're not just going to polish the turd or put glitter on it.

Jobs at Apple probably had a lot of opportunity to work on a lot of greenfield things, which I'd say 99% of people don't have the luxury or doing.

I also like his quote and attitude btw, just realistically, most of us won't ever get live in that world.
Yes...but your phrasing suggests that is a rational belief. Vs. I'd attribute it far more to over-inflated self-esteem. Anybody who is both rational and has made it to billionaire has failed many times, at a wide variety of things. And knows the world is vastly more complex than any human actually understands.
Redirecting to a dedicate 404 page is bad SEO practice. There must be a better way to accomplish this.
Why not adhere to the HTTP standard for once and return a 429 Too many requests or 403 Forbidden? 404 Not Found should only be used for “Not Found” errors.
If adhered to this posts advice, you can really screw your search ranking if a major web crawler gets blocked and de-lists all of your pages because of 404

Yes, that is why I asked. I wasn't criticizing their choice, I wanted to know why it was made, the cultural reasons or circumstances behind it.
Tech companies are structurally different to the plumbing/building business, you can't make this comparison.

Plumbing and building have static value. They will always do the same thing. The value of code is highly dependent on the context. SWEs are highly paid because they can create systems which can be reused and built upon over time.

Hiring an engineer to build a system doesn't make sense when it handles $0 in GMV, but makes a lot of sense when it handles millions in GMV. Tech companies are asymmetric bets.
Useless blanket advice. Of course you should write meaningful comments.
