"AI of course is going to have its uses, but once the dust settles and people are tired of feeding ChatGPT stupid prompts to get back funny shit or Thanksgiving recipes, what will get distilled down is going to be a glorified code auto-complete and boring data applications, like insurance."

I found the book interesting from a historical perspective, but doesn't have any "secret" information or anything to add above the far more extensive resources available online today. I find http://data-to-viz.com excellent for a high-level look at how to match a chart to your data and story for that data, and the different plotting library examples can be great references for inspiration, eg https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/index.html
That’s only if 700 people are all doing the same job. The entire company is key engineering talent? That seems unlikely.
I can see a sort of 'defense in depth' argument, especially for sending traffic from TVs etc. through your pihole. But in the browser (FF esp.), uBlock origin is excellent.
Last proposal in mid 2013 - which is a proposal to improve the proposal repo! Doesn't really inspire confidence in the language.
If you want to use uBlock Origin on iOS, there's Orion browser. Enabling extensions and installing uBlock Origin on it requires a tedious step and the app is noticeably slower to respond and just overall worse and buggier than Safari, but the ad blocking works.

> Sure, it's in their interest to break up a unified bloc of talent. Doesn't mean they genuinely want them.

Doesn't fit. In the scenario where they're all thinking that, nobody has to follow up with the same offer after the first person says it.

> The behaviour demonstrated by many of the staff on twitter is, for want of a better word, unhinged. Odd declarations of loyalty. 4am posts. Retweeting hearts. Acting very 'ride or die.' It's weird.

How is any of that "sacrifice their children on twitter"?

I mean, jeez, this is major drama even for the rest of the tech community — this whole thing is even front-page on the BBC news site as I write — of course the people who work there are going to say things on Twitter.
Hope not. I like Brave
Sure, but by pretty much any other standard? Over $170k USD puts you in the top 10% income earners globally. If you work at this wage point for 3-5 years and then move somewhere (almost anywhere globally or in the US), you can afford a comfortable life and probably work 2-3 days a week for decades if you choose.

This is nothing but greed.
JV partners are entirely different form consulting arrangements though and these are some pretty exceptional circumstances.

At least in Melbourne, this is only really the case for more established (and typically expensive) suburbs. Go out to Clyde North or Officer and you've got basically nothing in a walkable distance.

Even in (relatively affluent, semi-inner) Burwood East many of the old strip shops have been converted to non-regular or non-retail businesses (e.g kitchen showroom, accountant, baked goods wholesaler). You'd need to go up to Kmart Plaza to get groceries or coffee.

You are wrong. It's absolutely not representative. Closet point of interest would be a suburban park/playground.
It'd be nice if there was some sense of scale between the points, looks like everything is equally spaced.
That change was so dumb. Mercurial support was the bit that put them as something different from github. Once they didn't have it anymore, why would anyone use them at all?
Progressive Web Apps have access to persistent storage. I'd be curious to know how much of Spotify listening happens offline; my guess is that it's very little.

Either way, once sideloading is allowed on iOS I expect companies to aggressively renegotiate app store fees.
We never lost net neutrality, it was mandated in California as soon as it was deregulated federally and that was good enough to stop anyone from trying.
From the documentation, it seems like there is 0 mercurial support. It's its own separate version control system that diverged years ago. You can either use the sapling scm client or git.
> Most suburban neighborhoods have low traffic and plenty of places to ride your bike

Until you actually try to go anywhere and find that you cant't without riding through an arterial road with heavy dangerous traffic. The quiet suburban roads don't form a network that allows you to go to actual destinations.

Here in Toronto they are trying to address that by building (a few) cycle tracks running parallel to these horrible arterial roads, but it's still an awful experience. There are a few quiet greenways without any motor traffic, but they don't help you reach any destination.

Neighborhoods that were built before the advent of the car are more amenable to cycling.
12 slices?
How funny, because when you look at it from the map, there's proably < 100 housing units within a ~3 mile radius. Of course there's not a bike path and roundabouts! It's the ideal place for a stroad: a pit-stop off the interstate with almost no housing nearby, with a cold the climate half the year.

It has auto-updates until June 2031 (almost 8 years from now), and you can reflash it to Linux after. Sounds like a pretty decent vendor promise for a $300 device to me. Windows/macOS don't promise me anything.
Business wise makes sense google's cashflow is based on shoveling mostly shitty ads at people and youtube allows people to self select for more profitable ads.

Longterm will continue to harm google's product of search and youtube media products as it will motivate some people to figure out more ways that are more costly to google to dodge ads.

Human side wise this is starting to feel like the strangest form of corporate bullying. I want to believe that the motivation is to push up the demand for the strange mix products that is youtube premieum.

That’s insincere. Even if you truly believe a catastrophe may happen you may not be willing to risk life in prison because the President doesn’t like your bosses boss.
Git has a lot of warts, but if I were to pick an alternative it would be Fossil, not Mercurial.

I believe Meta’s implementation includes server components (Mononoke) that were not open-sourced, or at least not buildable without closed-source dependencies. Same with Microsoft’s fork of git that relies on a virtual filesystem, but that one is open-sourced, if for Windows, not Linux.

> Mead was famous, but only one of the many voices in very long debate.

Yes, this is how voices work.

> Whatever people were thinking 90 years ago, it had already lost its influence by the time of AI's societal debut in the 1980s and is totally irrelevant to AI's impact today.

Are you making this argument simply based on the passage of time? I can think of a lot of ideas whose longevity makes 90 years seem a sneeze.

> While both may share a mindset, linking Mead to today's techno-bros is a bit of a stretch.

If they share a mindset, would that not be an obvious link? Additionally, this article is drawing a connection not just between Mead and techno-optimists (not the same as tech-bros), but between Mead and both techno-optimism and existential risk. That's sort of what the article's preamble describes as the interesting thing.
I want to say bitbucket started out as this, at least my first repos there were hg.
Yes, they get put in but if you try to enforce them you'll find that you can't.

We sign contracts with non-poaching elements in them all the time because the companies we look at are afraid that we will use our inside knowledge to go after their best talent. But I suspect that just the basic protections an employee has under employment law would be enough to stop a company from trying to enforce this (we have a term for this in Dutch which is called 'broodroof' but I don't know any good English translation).

That said: for Execs and consultants it is a different matter. But they are not rank-and-file employees.
Breezewood, PA is basically a flag for american new urbanists to wave at each other, a rallying cry of what not to repeat.

Bitbucket dropped Mercurial support in 2020: https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-b...

I just don't think there is good RoI for implementing Mercurial support. It really isn't about the interface (which I think most people agree hg is better than git). It's just the network effect: most projects use git so everybody learns git and they don't want to learn another tool even if it's better in some ways. At the end of the day, once you pay a higher upfront cost to learn the ~5 git invocations you need, your daily productivity between using git and hg is probably the same.

Google and Facebook is different: they have a unique use-case and scale, and massive internal tooling teams supporting their use-cases. Also, as an employee, you're probably more open to different VCS systems because if you learn hg at Facebook, you're learning it on company time whereas if you learn for an open source project, you're learning it on your time.

It doesn't have to be enforceable. This licensing model works exactly the same as Microsoft Windows licensing or WinRAR licensing. Lots and lots of people have pirated Windows or just buy some cheap keys off Ebay, but no one of them in their sane mind would use anything like that at their company.

The same way you can easily violate any "non-commercial" clauses of models like this one as private person or as some tiny startup, but company that decide to use them for their business will more likely just go and pay.

So it's possible to ignore license, but legal and financial risks are not worth it for businesses.
I don't disagree but I think what we tend to forget is thst children mimic their parents.

I've noticed that my kids will go outside more when I walk the dog more. They either join me or go outside on their own.

The same applied when I work in the yard.
I'm sure they knew what they did. They probably primarily had git users on the service, and the motivation to use Bitbucket is most likely because you already pay for other Atlassian products.
I just tried it out and I have to say I am blown away. I've never been someone who likes the voice capabilities (tried Siri once or twice, hated it) for just about any service as I can type pretty quickly but this is intelligent enough that I can have an unstructured conversation and still get to the results I want quickly. Very impressive.

What I cannot get is that so many people can’t let go of the pandemic.

On the right there are a lot of people who want to have a revolution because mistakes were made. On the left there are people who have shaped their whol identity around having long covid or not getting covid.

My guess is 40 years from now you are still going to see people use the pandemic as an excuse for this or that. I hope I am wrong about that though. I was wrong about how long New York City was going to use Superstorm Sandy as an excuse for terrible cell phone coverage but with LTE coverage got better.

You can use Firefox for both work and personal stuff, with a couple options:

- Multi-Account Containers segregates cookies (i.e. enables multiple simultaneous logins to Gmail, GitHub, etc, any service, in different tabs of the same browser window)

- Firefox Profiles segregates everything (cookies, preferences, bookmarks, history), by running a separate browser instance.

Containers are more convenient for simple separation. Profiles are 100% separation.

While you can't get very far, you can still get to a park on those streets, which is what OP was talking about. There are generally enough kids in the neighborhood that you can find someone to play with of about your age.

Of course the kids need to go outside to meet those other kids (and the other kids need to go out as well), and parents need to let kids out of their sight to go to the park.

So it's safe to walk and ride your bike, but you have nothing close by worth biking or walking to? Sounds counter productive. What do you do, bike in circles?

Or my guess: you have to drive everywhere. Hence no autonomy for the kids.
I have to agree. My children have a 2 acre backyard with woods and a treehouse. They play outside with the neighborhood kids almost every day. When bad weather keeps them inside, they make up new games to play throughout the house.

Why? Because we limit the time they spend on screens.

What I liked doing was mall walking, or walking through busy cities. But my parents would rarely take me to do that. So I was "lazy."

Bit by a WAF this week. A client needed to enable web payments and selected a lesser known payment processor with slightly lower fees? I built an integration test to submit test payment card along with a fake name and a real address. The request failed with no diagnostic information. My request looked well formed according to the docs so I raised an issue with support.

Weeks later, they got back to me. It turned out the payment processor's WAF was rejecting my submission because the street name contained the word "Union", and the WAF was sanitizing input fields by rejecting any SQL syntax, despite the lack of control sequences. Napkin math suggests their WAF would reject payments from 1% of the US population on the basis of their street or city name. This is a hidden tax on top of their nominal processing fees!

Best practice also means the WAF is probably also configured to accept vendor security updates, silently introducing even more rejection criteria.

The love of compliance is the root of many types of evil.
