The solution isn't to move. Every storage mechanism is going to have some amount of failures. The solution is redundancy. Store your valuable files on multiple medium. I know a lot of people that have both google photo and icloud - that works okay. You can also schedule backups to a NAS or some other cloud storage.

My 2012 17" MacBook Pro video card died about 2017 but even then and even when new the fan was on a lot. HD was SSD, lots of RAM, discrete GPU but overall the thing was toasty.
I suffered some extreme burnout that disrupted everything in my life for years. I managed to stay employed and even advanced in my career, but it was through sheer willpower alone. I won’t go through the details of how horrific my life was and the suffering I endured.

What helped me the most was meditation, specifically vipassana (insight mindfulness) meditation, grounded in Theravada Buddhism, as taught by Gil Fronsdal. In fact, not only did it help me recover entirely from my burnout, I am happier and more involved in all aspects of my life with a clear focus on the things that give me pleasure. I can only say as further fallacious appeal for this method there’s a reason Buddha - a normal man with no magical powers or claim to godhood, not offering magical immortality with your best friends forever, or really anything other than a way of meditating and thinking about life - has a major world religion and his teachings have spanned thousands of years. It’s not a religion, it’s a guidebook on how to have a human mind.

Good luck! I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, but for me at least it was a gateway to a richer life.
One problem that I often encounter is that people either don't use Google Photos/iCloud, or they don't have sufficient free space in their cloud storage account to upload photos/videos. Additionally, in the case of Google Photos, if the person has configured Standard Quality for their personal account backup, the shared photos will not be in the original quality.

I used to maintain/repair a couple of LaserJet IIIs (circa 1990), up until about 2010, when I got tired of the printer's footprint being so large, and retired my last computer with a parallel port. The LaserJet III was the VW Bug of laser printers in terms of being easy to repair.

If you going to compare simple and easy, you've got to mention the Simple Made Easy talk by Rich Hickey. Though debatable if Rich would find Go simple in his sense of the word. An example might be not having an insertion-order map iterator.

Am I the only person who is obsessed with Autoplaying media? Ads are one thing, but even a news site or blog that immediately blasts moving pictures greatly bothers me. Very often you hit a small X which then doesn't do its job as an X, instead moving the media into a floating window.

X is the new "open in separate window"

Chrome is vicious when it comes to forcing auto play.

Brave+Turn off Scripts works great.

Turning off scripts helps in many other ways to make the web more readable. Wait, I should emphasize my unique use-case here: in contrast to apparently the vast majority of web users, I actually like reading words, and sometimes the words are a whole page long. When flashy, talky, moving stuff is in between the sentences and words, they become difficult and frustrating to read.
> Vegetable seed oils seem to correlate strongly with bad health outcomes.

Based on what evidence? Here's a good roundup of our best evidence, and it shows that seed oils improve health outcomes: https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-...

Since you like Youtube videos, here's a good talk between Gil Carvalho and Simon Hill that also goes through the evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ri4S7MLu3A

Another summary of the evidence on seed oils by Layne Norton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2fSaFnt0FM

I skimmed your video and it's the same old low-carb narratives with very little evidence cited which should always be a red flag. People who can't point to our best metaanalyses or human health outcome research on something to back their point will generally spin narratives because it's all they have left to do.

Depends a lot on how this scales though. If you need 10x as many parameters to get 1% better results for instance, then even if this works it could be impractical.

Easily... but is that simple though.
That you can do it with 3 different tools means that they are interoperable. That you can do this without hacking into some huge codebase or waiting someone to implement this specific feature.

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp gives you the temperature in ASCII. It's about as simple and interoperable as an interface gets. I like that I can check it in terminal with cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp when needed. I really like that I can check a remote computer's CPU temperature by doing ssh some.remote.host -C cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp. If you have the commands to show that in your status bar, you can easily extend a local one to a remote one. You prefer to wait for remotehosttemperaturetostatusbarctl to appear in the AppStore? Or write and debug thousand lines of dbus juggling in C?

I do agree that cli programs should be more interoperable in general. E.g. have more structured inputs and outputs akin to JSON or something, conform better to e.g. the GNU command line parameter spec and read stdin and write stdout and log to stderr by default.
Quite a bit of nutrition research is simply useless. They ask a bunch of people what they ate and then try to correlate that with health outcomes. You will never learn anything that way, though it might give you areas for further research.

The next step up is a randomized controlled trial, but instead of choosing health outcomes they choose measurements of lab tests as their endpoints. Someone’s cholesterol went up or down by some small number. What did we learn? Nothing.

Unfortunately good research is outrageously expensive, so it doesn’t get done.

It's unfortunate that TDD is always framed in terms of adding fully-automated unit tests to the test suite. That's a big commitment! The core proposition of TDD is that you should explicitly state what you're trying to accomplish before you code - then use empirical observations of running code to confirm your progress. Ossifying your API into the unit test suite is not the only way to accomplish it!

There are lighter tools that help you establish an assertion, run it (failure), code it, run it, repeat until success and only then solidify the API into automated tests. CLIs, shell scripting, browser tools, etc can be a powerful tool to build semi-manual acceptance tests that confirm that the whole thing works properly BEFORE committing to a particular implementation. And when in doubt, write integration tests that hit the public interface, not the internals.

Not impossible, just a potential "lower quality of information?"

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've grown to understand the following:

My grandma, with whom I share a bunch of DNA, lived to be a healthy 100 and drank milk to the very end; which is why I'm probably going to do the same. The quality of that "datapoint" for me is (almost objectively) much higher than ANY study could ever produce?
> It seems that most professional mathematicians have never really given it much thought

This statement cannot be more wrong. See continuum hypothesis for example.

In the example you gave between you and your tutor, you represent someone who is a complete outsider or amateur, while the tutor represents someone (typical for people hold an undergraduate degree) who thinks what there are taught are the final words describing the truth. None of the 2 samples are in the “professional” category. Why would you think from this you can draw conclusion about “professional mathematician”?

And I don’t think “professional mathematician” is the right terminology here, but I’m not a “professional linguist” so I’m not certain here.

The paper you are commenting on is in mathematical physics. Mathematics rigorously defines self consistent systems, while (mathematical) physics concerns which “system” or language is describing our universe. So I’d say you entirely missed the point. (By the way, such speculation is not new in mathematical physics either, so don’t think “professional physicists” never given it much thought either.)

I’m surprised to see the top comment here missing the point so much. May be this is really just hackers news where topics outside the hacker circle is mostly noise rather than signal.

Go doesn't really warn you if you forget to handle an error return, which in my experience continuing silently in the face of error conditions is far scarier than crashing loudly.
That's a hallmark of Doom in general, not just the recent one. They keep ammo limited so you have to switch weapons frequently and vary your gameplay.

However, one nice thing with Doom is its commitment to the "fps chess" system. Chainsaw ammo might be scarce but the decision to use it is intuitive and requires no second thoughts. With BG3 every opportunity to use a limited item tries to awaken my latent save scummer and it feels like you can never make a good decision without first knowing how the story will play out.
This is not for everyone, but I host my family photos myself, most recently with this: https://piwigo.org/. I have been doing this since 2007 (started on a different software, called "gallery". Was able to migrate from gallery2 to gallery3 and now piwigo), and so far no major issues. Advantage: I can easily share photos with family, no need for iCloud, Facebook, or indeed any service- they just need a web browser on their desktop computer or phone.
Likewise, the Google Play store shows you which apps have ads and which have in-game purchases, but doesn't let you filter by those criteria.

Specifically if you don't want to worry about 'contamination' between your secret sauce and the open source bits.

It's generally a good idea to upstream as much as you can so you're not carrying custom patches internally when you don't have to. See "The Value of Upstream First":

You want to pursue uncorrelated redundancy more than you want a signular alternative.

People who came up in the cloud era were promised the false (impossible) idea that large conpanies could and would eradicate your risk of data loss if you just paid them a few dollars a month.

That's not a thing. If you really can't tolerate some loss, you need to coordinate something more robust across a few different and dissimilar options. And even then you'll still have risk.

That said, even just making sure you keep local copies of your archive or print your treasured favorites can go a long way towards greater reliability that without a lot of extra effort.
I doubt it has anything to do with company size. Most likely it's due to what drives their products. In the case of Google, overall it's how many ads they sell, and if improving search quality doesn't lead to more ads, then there is little incentive to do it.

For Kagi, they get revenue from customers paying for quality, so there is direct incentive to produce high quality search results.

I made an $11 donation, and Indigogo used a dark pattern, automatically selecting it, to try to make me "tip" Indigogo $10 on top of that! A 90.9% "tip!" NO THANKS.

The Biome team has been remarkably fast on achieving 95% compatibility with Prettier [1].

This will help to bring maximum speed to formatting Javascript thanks to Rust, following the ruff (Python formatter) trend.

Just as a note, as it was not mentioned in the article, Wasmer [2] also participated with a $2,500 bounty to compile Biome to WASIX [3], and it has been awesome to see how their team has been working to achieve this as well... hopefully we'll get Biome running in Wasmer soon!

Also congrats to the Algora team, as they have been doing very good work with their landing and trying to help on the challenge moving forward [4].

Keep up the great work!!

Unfortunately, you'll probably get people sharing whichever way they're most comfortable with and have to ask them specifically for originals.

The wedding photographer better be able to add an additional line item for services you are requesting. I have worked on site specifically for allowing group events to allow attendees to share their images directly from their phones. A QR code was provided that took them directly to the event's site. These images were available along with the professional photographers' images.

It is A LOT of work. You're specifically talking about an event with everyone's mom gathered together. The tech support for a site like this based on the users being targeted is a total nightmare. The simplest tasks are confounding to people. UI/UX definitely has a lot of heavy lifting to do here. This may or may not be the wedding photog's skillset.

The wedding photog has enough on their plate to deal with. I personally would not want them to be asked to provide tech support to tech illiterate family/friends of bridezilla.
I used to have this issue on Windows. Enabling SNMP solved it. By default it checks SNMP to see the status of the printer, so if SNMP is off it'll eventually think the whole printer is offline.
Lately I've been getting into retro gaming. Handheld android devices that run retropie are fairly cheap - a decent one can be $250 USD or less. There's thousands of games that can be played with no ads, no updates, and no microtransactions. Instructions guides make this all very easy [1].

I really wish Nintendo and other game industries would make a legal channel of how to play old games. Nintendo switch online is a great start, but it does not have every game [2].

I was recently looking at domains and it's kind of frustrating how many good names are parked or listed on some site for 6 figures. I mean, I'm guilty of it too (hoarding), but I wonder what the internet would be like if there was some sort of "if you don't use it, you lose it" rule. In any case, a reasonable second-hand market should only help right? You may want to consider putting a cap on the prices to keep the market focused, like up to 5x a new registration price or something, if the intent is to get domains into good (useful) homes. Also, the site looks good!
You speak the truth but people here will hate you for it.
My hair always bristles a bit when I see plans to "eliminate JavaScript Framework Lock-in."

For a backend service, it doesn't matter if you use no framework or one or five, other than pain for your developers having to learn the complexity; storage is so cheap it's nearly free, executable RAM slightly less so, and the end-user doesn't care how complex your server is.

Frontend code gets pushed over a wire to your end-user. If you're using three overlapping frameworks to build one web service frontend purely because someone in your team likes Svelte and someone else likes React... that's a problem. You'll be pushing more bytes than you should to your end-users, and that cost doesn't scale the right way; in fact, the more popular your app, the more redundant bytes you'll be passing.

We don't want to enable multiple frameworks in the UI. We should be settling on one and committing everyone on the frontend team to using it (ideally lock-stepped to the same version of it) within each app-shaped thing we create as a frontend team.

i did this back in 2019 to make the transition smoother between angular.js and react

> there are ways to build a web app other than writing the entire thing with a single JavaScript framework

totally agree, and reducing rewrites or making converting them into "strangler" rewrites is a huge win

on the other hand, it reminds me of the microservices hype a few years back. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Uniform languages, frameworks, coded patterns make things SO much smoother for an organisation.

I would repeat the author's words of warning: "you should not build a real app like this!". you should seriously think hard before adding this level of complexity to any production app
