My work used .local which means mDNS and service discovery etc doesn't work. Very annoying. What are they teaching these network admins? Why don't they even know what a domain name is for?

They sell it to inveators for to get some free money. That's it, no magic.

In general, people do seemingly strange things mainly for two cases: power and money (it just gives power). So only one, but that's usually more complex to understand.
And a ceasefire offer from Hamas that releases thousands of killers while absolving Hamas from any wrong doing is a serious one?
I think it is implied that genuine missions are excepted. Your mission will be exactly like the Ikea one and does what it says on the tin.
Companies need a mission statement telling why the company needs to exist. Unfortunately, as highlighted by the author, too often these mission statements are bullshit, which is making them pretty useless, even counterproductive.

Snap windows - I hate it when someone decides that the computer knows better than I do, what I want to do with desktop layout. I don't recall this problem in W10, so it must have been retro fitted.

> What actually drives employees is the inner workings of a company: the degree of autonomy employees have, the quality of products being shipped, and having impressive people as seniors and leaders, who have good product vision.

I think the author was actually being generous by describing employees this way, because there's no mention of pay. Scratch the surface of the mission at a lot of companies, especially startups, and it becomes clear it's a recruiting tactic and no-cost psychological reward. Which is fine if the employer and employee are aligned and the tradeoff understood. But the criticisms of low pay in the "helping professions" could be applied here.

Personally I think most company missions are insincere and I would not accept lower pay to work for a mission-driven company.
Yes, but who would want .test, .example or .invalid as an internal domain? Also, they are too long (yes, that matters).

What I've seen lately is '.int' for internal usage. While this is a valid TLD, it is only for international organizations, and it is not possible for "normal" people to reserve a domain with that TLD, so unless your company is called "WHO" or similar, you shouldn't have any problems...
Incredibly annoying - advertised "better than SIM", but really just a massive inconvenience.

The only good use-case (for the user) is buying travel eSIMs.
More context here (alt.fractals discussion from February 1991) [0]:

[...] by computing the area of the M-set
using lots of terms in a series (Laurent Series?), the upper bound of
the area seems to converge about at 1.72 (the graph gets quite flat,
and seems to have an asymptote there), and by counting pixals more and
more accurately, you seem to get a lower bound of very close to 1.52.
Both these bounds are close to the values the methods would produce in
the limit - that is, it is NOT the case that these numbers would get
closer if a finer grid were used, or more terms were taken in the
series. So, why the difference of 10% or so? No one knows.

i remember hearing about these on some pbs documentary, they were popular in the 80s during the cold war. I forgot what they were called.
Interesting that you mentioned working “for” a PM. I do believe a healthier relationship is driven by working “with”.

I found the Snowden thing funny-odd...

Echelon was something a lot of online techies had heard of by 1989. (I was just a teen, and I'd heard of it.) There was at least one book about it.

It was so well-known, and joked about, for so long, that one time I made a nerdy joke referencing Echelon to an ex-NSA person. When they responded simply, "What's Echelon?", I realized I'd put my foot in my mouth, by rudely putting them in an awkward position. I guess that they still weren't allowed to talk about even long-public information about it.

Before the Snowden disclosures there were all these capabilities and methods that you would've come up with, if you'd taken a smart techie and asked them, "If it was your job to build out surveillance capability, with NSA scale of resources, what kinds of things would be possible with what you know of computer-ish technology today?"

After all the decades of jokes and speculation, it was still funny-odd to see that, yes, it's for real.

>EU enacts regulations specific (obviously) to EU

>Apple takes EU specific actions to satisfy EU specific regulations

Is that an indecent argument? I'm probably among the last people to defend Apple, but the only problem I'm seeing here is Mozilla complaining they can't keep paying their CEO $7,000,000.00 USD if they have to hire more developers.
It's scary. Sounds like anyone can replace the os in your phone in 10s and read your browser cookies.
And that is why I'm against eSIMs.

I shouldn't need the carrier's, google's or apple's permission to use different phones.
I'd prefer something like:

"At company Foo our mission is to create software that people use, love and pay for, and along the way to find fulfillment through challenging work that makes us learn, allows us all to be paid well, lead a happy life and make scads of moolah for our investors."
I wish Bridgetown had a quick and painless migration path for Jekyll users. Apparently that wasn't a design goal. IMHO, it should have been.
I don't live in the EU or have any connection to the EU, and I am not positioned to have any strong opinion of the laws or court cases there.

My argument was against the person above claiming that an open platform makes for a worse product, and that European iPad users would get an inferior experience. I disagree.

Let's not forget that Apple invented the smart phone, but then they lost their dominance over the smart phone market. It seems to me that consumers like open platforms.

I don't think there should be laws forcing closed platforms to be open, given a competitive marketplace where people have a choice. I think most people will choose open platforms in a free market, but it is good that closed platforms exist for people who prefer them. That is one of the benefits of competition.

I do think anti-monopoly laws are necessary for maintaining this competition. However, I don't know enough details of this case to know whether I agree with this specific ruling. I do think the EU can be very heavy handed without sufficiently considering the implications. But that's their business, I guess.
Next time you see the moon, cover it over with your thumb or index finger extended to arms length. The angular diameter of the moon (and sun, for that matter) are really tiny.

Your brain just imagines that you see it closer/bigger when looking at it, especially if it's near the horizon/through branches/other things on the ground. This effect gets more pronounced the longer you stare at it. I think this is why it's so hard to get a picture of the moon that looks like how you see it, unless you use an impractically long lens.
I am starting to wonder if AMD were even trying all this time.
I think you can still keep the original qr code and use that no?
While you're making recent comments, as a tangential aside, old mice with scroll wheels make semi decent X-Y position recorders for moving surfaces that the mouse guts+scroll wheel can be sprung against so the wheel rolls as the object moves.

You will have to hack some old mouse driver code to interface and determine which USB mouse input(s) are of interest.

It's a kludge that saved me time over a long three day weekend with no shops open years back when I was putting together a laser scanner project.

Eventually we had a proper stepper moter, for proof of concept it was an "uncontrolled" motor with a mouse scroll wheel counting clicks for rough "good enough" position feedback.
I think the video answers that question decisively!
Err… as it says on the page:

- Arrow's theorem does not apply to first past the post

- Arrow's theorem does not apply to proportional representation

- Arrow's theorem only applies to ranked voting systems.

Arrow himself said about US elections (FPTP), "The first thing that I'd certainly do is go to a system where people ranked all the candidates."

So yeah… I’m still maintaining FPTP is less fair, as the evidence you supplied is not applicable.

Those are really great missions! Not like the bullshit startup ones in the blog post.

Missions are what makes employees understand what they are here for. If it is bullshit, employees are gonna be bullshitting. If it is about something that they can feel, it will make their journey in the company better.
It does sound similar to Hufer (e.g. as in Paarhufer, literally sth like 'paired hoofers'), but the Wiktionary states it's indeed of different origin. Etymology is really fascinating sometimes
It's a long way to the Moon.
"thousands of killers" is just rhetoric; Hamas could argue that the IDF hostages they hold were "killers".

Meanwhile, many of the hostages held by Israel are held without even being charged. From what I've seen, it's quite obvious that many are innocent civilians, and hundreds of them are children.

We've also seen evidence that Israel tortures its prisoners, and that rape is endemic - which is probably why Israel won't let the Red Cross near them (something else it complains Hamas won't do).

Israel is behaving like a rogue state.

Sure. That doesn't mean an author would want to maintain MathML inside an ebook.

a) What epub editor software allow direct editing of MathML, and is it a good idea to depend on such software being available in order to edit the book without tinkering directly with the MathML by hand?

b) Does MathML support everything mathjax does?

I disagree. The downvotes and flags are (in my mind) because the behaviour, both in tone and content, at display leads to utterly boring discussions. I am confident that the user can do better and I expect them to do better when expressing their point of view. Your comment being an excellent example of how one can remain civilised, not poison the discussion, and still get pretty much the same point across.
That's a hilarious hack, I have a whole crate full of old mice so definitely will have to try this. Worst case it will allow you to automatically e-stop the machine if it encounters an obstruction. For instance: sometimes the air assist will flip a piece up and the laser head during high speed traversal will run into it. That requires immediate manual intervention right now, it would be nice if that happened automatically.
Are you saying someone might?
Phones are a very good solution for 2FA, considering the requirements to obtain a phone number. The only disadvantage afaict is that SMS communication is easily intercepted and not encrypted.
Even more than mars or other planets, I think of the distance to the moon in terms of light-seconds. About 1.5 seconds away. (really 1.3)

I had known this fact for a while, but the ending of portal 2 really solidified it in my mind.
Devil's advocate: egress prices are always extremely high, so if you use their service that doesn't transfer the cost over to you it means it has been factored in that you won't be downloading that much. Making obstacles to actually doing it is, for them, the cost-effective way, and if you want to have an actual full access you're supposed to use their cloud storage.

But that's only one possible reasoning.
You can actually view the native nmap XML output as a nice HTML document in your browser.

The XML report is using a local XSL stylesheet by default, which modern browsers block, but you can use the nmap.org hosted stylesheet with flag --webxml. For existing report you can simply change the reference manually. [0]

The nmap hosted stylesheet works at least on Firefox.

It is absolutely not "true both legally and morally." It all depends on scale and purpose of the operation. If israeli military acted with disregard to the lives of non combatants, that would account to war crimes, against their own population. They have history of war crimes against their own forces, called Hannibal doctrine, so I won't surprised if they have same directives against civilians.

Test is best used in temporary setups that you use for testing things.

Example is best used in documentation only.

Invalid is weird and confusing.

Localhost as a TLD should still be on the machine itself. Keeping in mind that 127.0.0.1 is not the only loopback address at your disposal – you have the whole /8. You could bind different services on different loopback ip addresses and then assign host names in the .localhost tld to those.

So for example you could run different Wordpress instances locally on your machine on ips 127.87.80.2, 127.87.80.3, and 127.87.80.4, so that each can run on port 80 without colliding with one another, and without resorting to having non-80/non-443 ports.

Then have corresponding entries in /etc/hosts

127.87.80.2 dogblog.localhost

127.87.80.3 cooking.localhost

127.87.80.4 travel.localhost

And use those domains to access each of those from your browser. Then you don’t even need to keep all services behind the same Nginx instance for example, as you otherwise would do if you had different domain names but was using 127.0.0.1 and port 80 for all of them.

Whereas having the localhost tld refer to hosts elsewhere on a physical network.. that’s about equally as weird and confusing as “invalid”.
You are not alone. Typing matters, 'internal' is just too long. I'd much prefer if they for instance would reserve '.lan' for internal usage.
Many of the practices that were ruled illegal in your crystal-spires-and-togas utopia are alive and quite well in the stone-knives-and-bearskins hellscape across the pond. In particular, our carriers (excepting, as of yet, the German one) still whitelist handsets.
The partial absence of Austria and the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and perhaps France in all possible variations of these “concepts” means that a United Germany has never been truly achieved I suppose. Probably a good thing for those folks own cultural and dialect identity…

It will cut basically any fabric. I have used it to cut synthetics (polyester) and I've cut heavy cotton with it. The hardest materials to cut are white fabrics as they reflect a lot of light, but you can always go slower. It can take a while to cut a large white thick cotton piece though. If that was desired it would make sense to go for a slightly higher powered laser module if one was available.

This whole comment and line of arguing seems like you're going out of your way to downplay the negative effects of autism while advocating for supposed benefits, and frankly the whole thing reads like you are in denial.

> I could easily trigger sensory overload in the vast majority of people.v

No, you couldn't. Not easily. It can certainly be easily triggered in the vast majority of autistic people though.

> Our society doesn't tend to trigger sensory overload because it's tuned to provide a level of sensory stimulus within a certain arbitrary range which is acceptable to the majority of people

It's not arbitrary, it's the result of human evolution. That's like calling the colors range we can see arbitrary. That autistic people can and often are more sensitive is part of the disorder.

> Social cues are an arbitrary language, and you can find a very wide degree of competence among the NT, let alone ND.

Again, not arbitrary. And yes many NT are competent, many more are not.

> Negative consequences can stem from any of these deficiencies. If you want to single out one of those and call it a disability, my response is whoop-de-doo.

I didn't say disability, I said disorder, but if you have trouble with the most basic human things, which math and logical deduction are not, then yes, you have a disorder, just like if you have very bad coordination to the point you can't catch, throw or maybe even jump or run well.

> Analogising autism with deafness tells me that you've never interacted with an autistic person in anything other than a shallow way

It was to make a point in a specific context, and that point is valid. Maybe don't make more of it than it is.

> I can only hope you're speaking from actual ignorance and have no influence over the support given to anyone with medium to severe ASD.

You say this simply because I think it's ridiculous that you think most people should be more autistic. Which again, is a ridiculous argument and stance, and you should be ashamed for having it and maybe do a whole lot of self-reflection and maybe be honest with yourself about why you think that.

With this much hyperbole in the first paragraph of the description, I dread to think of the quality of the documentary.

The “many agree” in particular is a way of making anything you want sound legitimate while keeping deniability. Many also agree that the Earth is flat, but that doesn’t make it true or sensible.
