Come help build tech for common good.

Court Technology Services are an internal group that handle the design, deployment and operations of courtroom tech across Queensland.

We build the systems that run recording, hearing augmentation, streaming, remote presence and evidence presentation. If you can see or hear it, that’s us.

This role forms part of the project team for systems renewal. It’s a mix of design, engineering, commissioning, and R&D. We have some great partners that handle physical installation. Your job is to help define what to build and certify what’s delivered.

Lots of exciting projects are on the horizon for next year. If you want to work with media tech, build quality systems and improve public assets, join us to help make them happen.

I've been using Kagi as my default search engine for about 2 months now. I love it, and feel so far that it's well worth the $108 per year: just by not having to spend mental energy to scroll through the first several sponsored results; and try and decide if a result is paid or not.

I set Kagi to be my default search in my browser (Chrome). For specific searches like stocks, maps or restaurant reviews, I still use the "!g" bang to go to Google.

Never thought I'd pay for search: but very happy with my choice so far. Great to see others agree on this page - as I hope they can maintain this as a viable business, and stick to the principles of users being their customers: and not advertisers.

Feels like a breath of fresh air tbh.
And the blue shirt in the lower left corner. In webp-65% all the texture detail from the other versions is lost.
There's also this video from Wendover Productions on that topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oESoI6XxZTg
It is IMO the best Xfce distro, it has a set of apps (MX-Tools) with a lot of quality of life features (snapshots, backups, services manager, and much more). Systemd is optional, off by default but works perfectly if needed. Great community and great performance, 10/10 will keep using it and installing in relatives' machines, try it!
When watching Rings of Power, some human looked Caucasian, some looked like Asians, some like Africans, some like Aboriginals.

I thought a fictional universe doesn't have the same human races as Earth, and also might be contrary to Tolkien's vie since Earth doesn't have hobbits, dwarves, elves, and orcs.
I wish .net standard libraries would support anything else but they are frozen in time to the early 2000s (at least on .net framework full).
do you know if there are upgradeable versions on the iPad operating system as well?

20 versions of .net is wonderful. Changing the names of features over and over again is great too. I am also pleased that windows ten is the last version of windows.
I have ADHD, but unlike the author I was 30 before it was diagnosed, so I stayed my medication late and I was a rather well function adult at the time. What led to me getting the diagnosis was having children, which destroyed my “coping mechanisms” which were basically going to bed early on stressful weeks and having a few more sick days a year than your average but not enough to trigger the HR alarms.

Anyway, because I stayed my “journey” late and very much in charge of it unlike what you do when you’re a child. It took me around a year to pick the medicine that worked the best for me. I tried a lot of things, even something which isn’t considered ADHD medicine here in Denmark called zymbalta or something like it. I eventually ended up settling with Lisdexamfetamine, which is in no way a “cure” or perfect solution, but it’s the type of ADHD meds I gain the most value from. At first I was on 30mg in the mornings and then 20mg in the afternoons, and now it’s 30mg in the mornings. Anyway, what I learned through this year long “journey” of being on various types of speed was that they aren’t really that helpful in terms of your real issue. They let you focus on boring things, which is a big issue for us with ADHD and they give you a “burst of energy”. What the medicine doesn’t do, is give you enough, you still spend more than other people, and you still won’t have enough of it to easily function in large parts of modern society.

I think the only reason in high functional is because software developers have so much freedom in how we work. I’m fortunate enough to find most programming and most technical issues interesting, so I can hyperfocus on them, and since we can work from home, on flexible hours and so on, it’s manageable for me to get a week to work, most weeks. It does include working maybe 30 hours during the “office hours” and then working 4 hours on a Saturday night when the crave of problem solving strikes me, and so on, and it works. The meds though, they don’t help me that much. I mean they absolutely do, but not in the way meds typically work. If you have an infection you get antibiotics and it’ll go away. For many people if you have a depression, you’ll eventually get cured. The meds don’t work like that, at least not for me or anyone I know, what they do is to help you function in modern society even though you have ADHD, but unless you’re lucky enough to have the rest of your life align along your ADHD as well, then the meds likely aren’t going to help you that much.

I haven’t experienced the different brain thing the author describes. I did on some of the other types of meds, which is part of why they didn’t work out for me, but for the most part it’s mostly my mood that has been affected and not my way of thinking. Like, I can endure a meeting now, I’ll often be much more cheerful, but my way of thinking hasn’t changed because of the meds and I’m still working on putting actual cheer behind my mood.
You're right, I didn't write my original point very well. I'll blame it on Covid and rambling from bed lol.
Building a Slack bot that summarizes articles using OpenAI Assistant
Yes, also the same experience. Who would pay for search right?

I signed up for the $10 plan, before they introduced unlimited searches. One month I went over and thought ok, I'm not really ok with making more than 10. A few weeks later they switched to unlimited.

The lens feature is great. I have one for searching my company's public documentation etc.

The redirect thing is great too, it can rewrite URLs on the fly, e.g. Reddit -> old.reddit.

I have used other search engines in the past, like ddg for a long period, and others. I always ended up just doing !g on every search.

Kagi is the first where I don't notice I'm using another search engine and actually if I'm on Google I notice my experience is worse!

Great to see updates like this, in the months I've been using it it has improved so much already.
It's not authoritarian rule and social control to limit the speed of death machines inside a dense city. I don't want fast cars in my city, I don't want the noise, the fatalities or injuries, nor the pollution.

Cars are a privilege, you need a licence from the government to drive them, are you going to advocate for removing driver licencing as well? Because that's pretty much full government control over who can drive or not. Pretty authoritarian, no?
guilty until proven innocent, yikes
> I can’t even begin to think of how long it would take to get anywhere.

If you design your city properly then it would not take long at all. In fact, you may not even have to drive most of the time.
If the rubber duck has air inside, it is known, and intentional, for it is part of that design.

If you remove the air from the duck, and stop it so it won't refill, you have a flat rubber duck, which is useless for its design.

Much as flat pop is useless for its design.

And this nuance is even more nuance-ish than this devil's advocate post.
This article about a robotic head with taste sensors reminds me of a more humorous situation with a similar device many years ago.

In that case, a journalist, attending a demo event of a wine and cheese tasting robot, on a curious whim, placed their hand on the tasting sensor.

The robot, apparently unaware of the unexpected nature of the input declared ... tastes like... prosciutto.

A cameraman then just had to try his hand qand the robot declared... tastes like... bacon.

You just can't make this stuff up, right?

(Found the original AP article (with robot picture!) at:
https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna14610793 )
I’m talking about the same thing. Pumps and compressors and electronics systems.
You are clearly in a different usage bracked to me.

I had the opposite problem, I used up my 1000 searches within a month and didn't want to pay more than 10$.

They since introduced unlimited searches for 10$ so I'm pretty happy.
Sugar alcohols*. You certainly should not rinse your mouse with sucrose as your first sentence implies would be fine.
There's different sources of failures, and when you start claiming 11 nines of durability, you really have to go and think about all the different possible causes of failure. So it's not just a flat continuous rate, it's a sum of many different things.

11 nines is such a big number, you start modelling natural catastrophes, floods, solar flares, very unlikely discrete events as well.
but you can get an adapter, no?
Roughly speaking every laptop on the face of the earth, including every Apple MacBook, has a headphone jack. Speaking of Macs, many of them have very high-quality DACs and amps that can drive quality headphones. Apple has gone out of their way to make the headphone outputs very good.[1] Why then would you occupy one of your maybe two USB ports with an inferior dongle?

"Not enough people complained" is a terrible metric. Companies do anti-consumer nonsense all the time and there is no effective way for the customer to "vote with their wallets" when near enough everyone converges on the same solution.

And why did Apple do it? Don't overthink it -- it is more profitable for Apple not to put headphone jacks in their phones because then they get to sell expensive AirPods. That's it, that's the reason. There have to be millions of super frustrated iPhone users like me out there that are annoyed every single time they have to use a stupid fucking Lightning dongle just to listen to stuff with decent headphones, but Android is not an option for me and the iPhone 7 is too old to be viable, so I just clench my fists in my pockets every time I think about my garbage iPhone (and sometimes whine about it on the internet.)

Removing the headphone jack was bad, is bad, and will forever be bad. Just bring it back. Sell it in the Pro Max as a super audiophile high end DAC thing, I'll pay the $2000 or whatever you want, I don't care, just put the fucking jack back in.

Your observation reminds me of Philip Wadler's Strange Loop talk [1], where he states that some languages are discovered, whereas most languages are merely constructed.

I think he would have agreed to Haskell (or at least, languages based around lambda calculus) is more in the first category, whereas Java, C++, Smalltalk, Javascrip (ie. OO languages) are in the second. Computational fundamentals versus engineering problems.

That’s fair, everyone’s experience is unique to them I guess. Maybe you had a unlucky encounter. I generally feel pretty safe around the area at any time of day/night. SF on the other hand, I definitely felt a bit like I had to be on guard most of the time.

I’ll never forget the fact that the lady in the Thai restaurant I visited literally locked the door and you had to knock in order to enter. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen. I feel safer wandering the streets of Delhi and Meerut in the early hours than SF at noon.
I was only partially correct. Looked again at asfinag and the grace period does not apply to 1 and 10-day vignettes. From their website:

"18-days-period
Consumer protection is very important to us – especially as far as our digital products are concerned.
Customers can withdraw from the online purchase of a digital vignette within 14 days. Taking into account a further three-day period for mail, your digital 2-months and annual vignette is only valid from the 18th day after purchase.

This deadline does not apply if you purchase a 1-day or 10-day vignette!"
According to the original source (and Wikipedia), Zyklon B was apparently used on people's clothes after those were removed, not on sprayed directly on people, so it's not exactly the same.

There are pictures of Mexican laborers being sprayed on the head with DDT in the 50s, however, and that for sure was not healthy (nor was the general treatment... humane to begin with). I don't think we need a very stretched comparison with the Nazis and Zyklon B to easily affirm that the US Army and the US Government did many times horrible things to plenty of people, including its own citizens (and especially the black ones, see e.g. the Tuskegee syphilis study)

Yeah, WebP was long criticized for its loop filter for example, which was a good fit for videos but not much for still images. In comparison, JPEG compression artifacts are so well understood that better encoders that minimize visual artifacts are available. I'm not even sure whether there is an original uncompressed image---that JPEG file might even directly come from a camera.
Please note that all benefits listed in TFA for 48V vs 12V are valid for 220V vs 110V, too.
Indeed! I would buy it if it were smaller (e.g., 4.7')
Day 24 is a basic example of React + SVG. Once you get the basics of React you can just start coding images based on this tutorial.
Would be interesting to know if there's any increase in CPU battery (power) consumption to render these different formats too?
Unless I'm misreading something the author does not mention breaking anything.
Not sure what you mean, but if someone really wants a new Tesla, they can go to another country, buy it, and drive home.
Google is an offshoring / low cost company now.

Since they struggle to innovate they use the strategy of cost cutting. What means moving development and support (if any) to low cost countries.

Low cost countries mean low cost country standards in both code quality and handling of the disaster after the code breaks.
Several test frameworks implement Law Testing which will test your instances for lawfulness as long as you can generate instances of your data structures. E.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hedgehog-classes . So you only need to be able to generate instances and you get comprehensive tests for free, so that's nice too.

It is also the case that implementations of these very abstract classes typically only also have very few implementations that make any kind of sense type-wise and that the 'obvious' one is correct.

(Just to preempt: Yes, tests aren't proof, but such is life without a full proof system in the language. In practice, I've found property-based testing sufficient.)
But Monads are like what you compose. The equivalent in OO would be the semicolon. You still need business logic that follows messy life / human rules
no matter what paradigm you use.

Your colleague wrote lots of code using copy and paste. You refactored it post commit. He complained to your boss, who had a go at you, and now you're going to leave mess in the codebase next time.

There's a lesson to be taken from this experience but it isn't that copy&paste is better than writing functions.

Your refactor should have gone up as a change to be reviewed, tagging the author. However the escalation to boss who tells you to revert is a really bad sign, as opposed to your colleague talking to you directly.
What you suggested lastly is possible, most work will be coming up with a dumbed down editor for such a font. Per each ligature, the user should be able to provide a SVG(?) and control its y-offset and scale (currently I use the same values for all the ligatures).

DM me at Twitter (@verydutzi) if you want to talk about it, I’d be happy to!
I campaigned for this for years when working on fuchsia, to folks in fuchsia and android folks.

We lack a unixy API for “the radio is now on, do your reconnects or send your queues”

The platforms always hoist this stuff higher level and it rarely works that well.

Platform leads insist the platform will do it better, but it’s never true. They also insist that persistent connections are battery killers - which for sure they _can be_ but done properly (and with the aforementioned api) it can work just fine.

Establishing such an API in the Linux and BSD ecosystem would make a good step toward encouraging its exposure in the places we need it.
I'm not sure I follow. The "launcher" really is the .exe . This is especially true for any DRM-free game or application, which we have already agreed is all of those bought on GoG.

WINE (and maybe Proton) is your compatibility layer because you're trying to run _an application_ (games included) on a platform it's not written for.

The reason Steam has a Linux client with Proton integration is not so you, random Linux gamer, can have an easy time running games on Linux. It's mostly 2fold:

1. so that you, random Linux gamer, can run Steam DRM games on Linux at all;

2. so that they can launch products like the Steam Deck without paying license fees, or having to deal with, Microsoft and Windows.

GoG has no such needs. You already have everything you need to run their games. That is their differentiation. One could argue that this is a better proposition for you, the consumer, than that of Steam.
> Why is everyone stating what he should have done instead? ... In finance, we are constantly dealing with products which are somewhat alike but not quite.

Yes, but we are talking about geometry. What the (usual) handles do are affine transformations (translation, rotation, scaling and mirroring), if the scaling is uniform, these are similarity transformations. And are guaranteed to work for any shape.
Which leads to the real problem: you can't (well, shouldn't) abstract something, if you don't have enough knowledge about that - especially what new possibilities may show up in the future. For example if somebody thinks that the only possible ovals are circles and ellipses, they will be quite surprised when the first "real" oval shows up.
Webkit is not a browser.
Post Nord is not government run. It’s a private company which serves multiple countries. People seem to have very confused ideas about Swedish institutions.
I have it from the horse's mouth that some doctors are already experimenting with it regularly (GPT-4, not ChatGPT). It's not always right, but medicine is about memorizing unreasonable amounts of information, and the bot sometimes does catch less common things that multiple humans have missed.

Of course the difference between regular users and doctors is they can tell if GPT is confabulating or giving explanations that make no sense. I wouldn't recommend anyone go and blindly trust what comes out of the pile of linear algebra, it's not quite there yet.
Tolkien did have diffent human "races" in the books. Check the following link for a description of one of them: https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Easterlings
imo it's better than apple. With apple you are pretty limited with apps after end of life. With android, the play store is more decoupled from the system, more apps to install even if not on the latest version. You can also sideload. But still, it's nice we have this
Are search results on Kagi regionalized? For example do I MUST have region set or they give me best of the best results based on my query?
Google is annoying with region specific results in any of their services
Google Drive is as broken as Microsoft Windows Search, Microsoft Windows Virtual Memory, and Microsoft Windows' transparency.
Author made up his own definition of 'clean code' and kept it in his head rather than defining on the page.

So whatever the author is telling you to 'let go of' may or not have anything to do with 'clean code' as you understand it.
Clean code is not a suicide pact.
GP was talking about the low voltage system (the 12-volt system in most cars) and choosing a voltage for it, not anything about the traction battery.

Further projection I see.
I feel like people are sleeping on Kagi FastGPT, its their amazing search combined with their summariser and a llm model that gives me the answers directly without having to search myself.

It was a fork from the beginning and it is blink engine for 10 years.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that their "reason 1" was the sole source of the issue. This smells like an instance of the "nobody likes a know-it-all" problem that often arises with junior devs who haven't yet learned that their job isn't just between them and the computer, but them, the computer, and other people: the cleaner version likely would have replaced the dirty version had the author actually had a dialog with the author of the dirty code and mutually decided that there was a better way.

The article likely would be better titled as "I learned a lesson about working on a team", not "goodbye, clean code".
The thing with Kagi is, you can demote or remove the domains which you don't want to see, making it more yours than Google.

Also, not having ads and results manipulated for money is a real, underrated gem.

I tried Kagi for a day, and signed up right away, and I don't care that I pay for it. It works wonderfully.
Semi-off topic, but do you recommend using both uBlock and Pihole? I'm currently a uBlock user (on Firefox), and I was thinking of setting up a Pihole. Thanks!
Chuck E. Cheese founder Nolan Bushnell discusses the character's long history
Not OP, but in a similar situation. I'm 39, the last time a dentist looked in my mouth I was probably 16 or so* and I brush only once a day (after breakfast, which is the least effective over doing it before going to sleep). Never had a cavity. I don't think I have halitosis, at least the people I have kissed over the years never complained to me.

Being Italian, I eat pasta literally every day, and my daily breakfast is chocolate chip cookies.

My impression is that mouth health is 100% genetics and biome lottery.

* I have extreme mistrust in their profession, due to bad experiences. When I was a kid, I injured a milk tooth which turned black. The dentist shrugged and said that it would fall normally. It didn't and it fucked up all permanent teeth that sprouted in random directions in the area. Every single dentist surveyed to fix the problem requested gigantic payments (to the tune of tens thousands of dollars, this was in the 90s in Italy, so adjust for inflation and cost of living to know how crazy this was) without providing any result guarantees, so I kept my crooked teeth. It doesn't help dentistry in Italy is that profession where you mainly do tax evasion, and occasionally look into people mouths to pass the time.
You can optimise that by giving the competition authorities the power to initiate a public competitor if, and only if, there are price rises in a market.
you can use yt-dlp and mpv to watch youtube vids. Still need to find the URL yourself but you don't need their website to watch it.
If you did no wrong, you don't have to fear any investigation about what you did with the money, and whether you deserve it or not.

First-hand experience here. Doesnt work like that.

How does an investigation equal abuse?

It does not in theory but in practice that is the vehicle. You have no idea what Ive been through lately via KYC in France. I was worried Id never see my money while they were making a fool out of me. It's the vehicle and if one's not a discrimination target indeed it's invisible.
