Aside from Ekrich - who can at least point to the extracts he has found in historic archives, there are sleep study results that suggest humans still have remnant night waking behaviour; these fall into the intuitive.

Which leaves what I first raised - a thousand years of documented broken sleep by monks in monestaries getting up to pray late at night and again early in the morning.

Some might write that off as hair shirt behaviour by religuous fanatics intent on punishing themselves, others might take it as evidence that people of those times were living with punctuated sleep cycles and those that went to serve their God took to praying when they woke as a matter of course.

There's also the evidence of sleep in Spain and other warmer climes, with additional sleeping during the hottest parts of the day, staying up later, sleeping less during the night and rising earlier before the sun.

It's Ekrich's hobby horse, many niche areas have few champions, but it's not exactly the case that he is drawing on forged entries with no other examples to be found.
Me personally? No. But there are a lot of open bug reports, feature requests and PRs. None of them seem to get any response at all.

Maybe it's deemed complete but then I'd wish they just add a message saying so.
Part of the comp. package is presumably paying for you to endure some level of inconvenience at the company's request. Such as isolating work and personal things on separate systems.

At least that's how it works in the vast majority of companies.
But which audience? It seems like with social media nowadays only the absolute numbers count. Influencers are very happy to have an army of dumb followers. I guess it’s easier to well influence them.

Does it still block ads? I happily used Vinegar before, but it lost that functionality when YouTube’s crusade against ad blockers began (I don’t recall if it just let the ads through, or if it triggered the “Ad Blocker Detected” pop-up).

With that, YouTube single-handedly forced me to move browsers on all my devices – from Safari to Orion, where I get to use uBlock Origin. uBlock seems to have stayed a step ahead of YT since.
> pointing in the direction the phone is facing

Do you mean where the top edge of the phone is directed towards when I hold the phone so that its display is pointing towards the sky?

Or where the backside of the phone is directed at if I hold it upright in front of my face?
Did the smell of a banana, or just having one in the house set you off - or did you have to eat it to have a response?
So a corporation acquired the platform you enjoyed using, and corrupted the user experience so much that it forced you to pay them to get the old UX back, and... you're happy about it?

I appreciate the suggestion. I tried that a few years ago, but Mac OS' built-in DVD sharing only works on discs without copy protection. Then I spent a few nights trying to get VLC to stream a disc from my PC but couldn't get that working either.

If anybody's got experience along this line of thought I'm interested; it could be a viable way forward as I have several desktops (Win/Lin/Mac) with optical drives.
The cyberpunk novel has the caricature of a young guy jacked up on so many enhancements he's cut his life down to a couple of years.

I tried using the official client for a while but just couldn't stand it and switched back to Apollo about a month ago.

Sideloadly + ApolloPatcher was surprisingly easy to set up. Who knows how long it'll last, but it's basically set and forget once you create the Reddit+imgur API keys and enable wifi sync/auto refresh.

I have to tell you, 4am-5am, between sleep phases, is the best time to clean a kitchen. It's vaguely contemplative and when you go into the kitchen later that day it's like the cleaning fairy did it.

Wait tell us more about use your computer by candlelight… do you mean like red shift? Most OSes have this built in and there are 3rd party apps that can do candlelight settings
I use fugitive.vim, and blaming is very convenient there as well as every other git workflow. I can press a shortcut to see when every line in the current file was changed, and who changed it along with the commit hash. If I need more – I can expand every hash to see the full context, including full commit text and diff. Maybe cli git is not too easy to use since how complex it is, but there exists a git wrapper so awesome it should be illegal

This is not some minor "problem", people actually got _cancer_ from the degrading devices.

We watch Elf each Christmas.

Before December starts it's is consistently moved off any subscription service and the price is jacked up.

My DVD has been the same price to view after the initial purchase for a long time now.
Yes, accepting is big part. I read mostly and recently trying to meditate as well. Doing nothing productive to not signal that we actually should wake up. Especially bad are the nights when sleep comes after more than 2h of wake time.

I'm trying to watch it from blood sugar perspective, I'm pretty good at extending periods between meals due to intermittent fasting, but there may be connections since Im not fasting all the time.
A2P = Application to phone, essentially any SMS/MMS sent to a phone by an app or automated process, and not by a human just texting.

10DLC = 10-digit longcodes; in the US (well, NANP), "regular" phone numbers are 10 digits long. This is as opposed to shortcodes, which are usually 5- or 6-digit numbers (though there are some that are shorter) that are sold to specific customers after an approval process where all US mobile carriers have to sign off on their use cases. If you spam, you get your shortcode revoked. They generally cost on the order of $1000+ per month, while you can usually get a longcode for $1/mon or less.

Over the past few years the US telcos have (due to regulatory action, not of their own choice) started requiring that anyone using 10DLCs for A2P use cases need to register: who they are, how responsible parties can be contacted, and what they plan to use the numbers for. Don't do this and your messages will likely be silently dropped.
It uses the magic word: “for”

They’ll probably still send a C&D but it will be defensible.

I’ve had Amnesty International contacting me at work, using the “exemption for humanitarian emergencies” to say “We can’t remove you from mail lists, it’s a humanitarian emergency.” Highly annoying to be doxxed by who you’ve been donating to.

Actually, there is a solution: Say that you are back in Europe and a EU citizen. The GDPR applies to them too.
This is an example of what “software will eat the world” means to me.

It’s going to very quickly devolve into people doing incredible amounts of performance enhancing drugs to the point where you will have several high profile deaths leading up to and during the “games”. It’s going to be a hard PR and legal thing to maneuver around.

I can imagine someone taking some street legal analog of PCP and absolutely ripping someone else apart during BJJ/boxing matches.
Grammarly is one of those services with an obscene base price and fat discounts available, though. I’ve been getting it for $60-70 a year for a while now via 50+% off Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals.

They also have AI-based functionality along with traditional correction. Their correction works pretty well for me, but their client software blows and hasn’t gotten better with time, to your point.

OTOH, my employer has vetted and allows Grammarly but doesn’t allow random AI-based products or OpenAI API utilities that take my own key, for security reasons. I suspect a lot of others who actually would need to use a grammar checker professionally might be in a similar position.

Exactly. If before small business would have to pay Meta $.10 to get 100 targeted people in the door, that same company now has to pay $.30 to show that same ad to enough randos that those 100 interested people get on the door.

Meta was actually being sincere when they said it would hurt small business because otherwise it makes them TON of money. Everyone just fell into the cynicism trap and didn't believe Mark.
> it was common for people to visit all their neighbors each day.

I am sure there is some regional variability, but at least in these parts you can still see that habit ingrained in those now around 80 years of age or older. But it seems to quickly taper off in anyone younger. By the time you get to my generation it is effectively unheard of.

Correction: 11; I misread the Wikipedia page.
It was a curious holdover and I was surprised at the time that they kept selling it as long as they did. After the retina Macs came out the writing was on the wall.

It's also worth noting these were also the last MacBook with upgradable RAM, and we're still seeing issues with insufficient stock RAM on the newest MacBook models.
I once heard that there are a couple types of projects that every software dev must go through at least once as a rite of passage. For me and those around me those definitely were IRC bots and bulletin board systems. Everyone created their own.
I pay to stream Elf like, every other Christmas, when I forget that I bought it on iTunes over a decade ago and don't have to pay anything for it at all.

It's not a meaningful amount of money, is my point. To anybody. It's $3.99 on Prime Video. It's like price shopping for chewing gum.
okay so maybe burning everyone's trust through clickbait titles + constant fear mongering WASN'T the best long-term strategy?

It would be a loss IMO if future generations never knew that we even engaged in doomscrolling (or to what extent). Of all things you’d want future generations to learn from, maladaptive behavior that’s so widespread as to be hardly noticed in daily life seem high on the list.

Caveat that doomscrolling specifically maybe isn’t a great example given that we are collecting a ton of data about it, we’re mostly just ignoring it.

Discovering Agents
Not that specifically but that's certainly one whisp of smoke that might be found should:

> (Has this) evidence been examined sceptically?

The implication there is that the "evidence" quoted might not exist, might be a stretch of translation, misreading of spidery handwriting, or spun whole from new cloth to fit a narrative.
Ultimately they will stop supporting x86_64 arch so even Open Core Patcher might not help you at some point.

How would that work for people with chronic stuffy nose due to stay a prior Staph infection and/or allergic reactions.
Not sure about these colleges but honestly colleges offer a lot of services to the local community. They might police a certain area directly. They might maintain certain roads. They could run their own sewer setup or run their own powerplant. They probably maintain a datacenter. They might even run or own a hospital, or even run a small school for observational studies in their education program. To say nothing of the payroll tax added by their usually massive employee headcounts, plus all the tax revenue coming in from income tax of students working nearby and that payroll tax, sales taxes as well.
Demystifying Team Topologies in SAFe
It's linked to a whole lot of deaths, it seems. How on earth can a company betray trust like this and continue to function? There needs to be a corporate equivalent of a life sentence, or a permanent ban from a certain industry for leadership involved in a business unit that conducts such malfeasance.
As someone that worked in projects with 100% guidelines for nice QA dashboards, eventually everyone games the system in large project, unit tests are written to cover all execution flows, not necessarly being actual tests.

Thus every code refactoring becomes a pain, as the tests aren't really testing the expectations of a function call, rather ensuring every line of code is shown as being covered.
> If you're using an ORM, the ORM is the abstraction layer which should be sprinkled throughout the code. You shouldn't wrap a layer in a layer.

preventing people with this belief from sprinkling ORM code all throughout the codebase is reason enough to ban the use of an ORM.

The specifics of how you retrieve data is an implementation detail. If someone wants to use an ORM have at it, but don't sprinkle it throughout the codebase, place it behind well defined functionality (behind a system dedicated to pulling data).

The fact that ORM's have their own query language should be all you need to know.

One could easily argue that you should be able to manually interact with db readers all throughout the codebase, after all, it's an abstraction.

But no one would ever actually argue that. Like such forward-only db readers, ORM's are a way to pull data, they are not the abstraction layer for pulling data for your application.
Maybe have a Twitter or email notifs?
It's no different from the limits on use of HIMARS in UKr
Overall, I agree. However:

: A good plan, right? No, 80% of it was a waste of time, and most people make the same mistake with how they consume information every day.

>Well, yes, because a great deal would be repeated even on tangential subjects as the authors aren't necessarily assuming you've read anything else on the topic.

I also read a lot of these books and I can confirm that 70-80% of the content is unnecessary. It's mostly the author boasting about how great they or their methods are and stories about someone who implemented the method successfully. It seems that every book has to hit 200/300+ pages mark. Most of the content is just filler.
I've been using OsmAnd for years now, and it's fantastic. Much more complicated to set up the way you like, but you can set it up exactly the way you like. No ads, search results are what I'd call "sterile", and you can have as many or as few features as you'd like. If you pay a $2 monthly subscription, you can download large tiles of highly detailed information from their servers, so you can use it completely offline.
No, that's your implication.

I personally read "sceptically" to imply the idea of seeing whether the study falls victim to significance bias -- e.g. once you see it, you see it a lot, but is it an indicator of a widespread habit, or just a not-particularly-unusual one?

Edit: And indeed if you read on a bit about Ekrich, he suffers from sleep disorders for which he takes medication. That's a potential risk factor for significance/confirmation bias here, I'd have thought. But there's no reason to jump to the conclusion that fabrication is being suggested.
I do that a lot these days. I went to bed around 8:30pm, woke at 4am... It's 6:50 now and I've done a lot of work! It's nice, quiet, I just really crack on.

I'm waiting for 8am, then feed + walk the dogs, then I'll go back to bed for 1h or a bit more (tops), and it'll still be early when I wake up again.
Most of my colleagues will show up around 10 with bleary eyes while I've done most of the stuff I wanted to do already!

... So that gives me a lot of time for a good walk, or tinkering etc in the afternoon.

I used to be a 'night owl' really, going to bed at 2am; but I realized I was never really terribly efficient until about lunchtime the following day, while I was also wasting my time in the evening for no real reason. AND wasting the short winter day at my desk.

Nowadays, well, I got the whole day to myself!
If people don't understand the title then presumably they're not going to upvote it. That's why I think this sort of language policing to be not very useful—if you don't understand, then ignore it, and the system will sort itself out.

Personally, I found the title to be immediately understandable. I'm at techie but have had health issues where I believe poor brain CSF drainage has been a factor.

"Nasopharyngeal" can be a tricky word but "naso-" is a prefix that predictably means "nose", which lets you guess the rest.

The lymphatic system is quite important as your body's second circulatory system, but it's unfortunately not mentioned much in school here. Hopefully doctors are taught more about its importance.
Digital media can also disappear. There's Doctor Who episodes that are missing from streaming services as well because the licensing for the music also ran out. Spec Ops: The Line was just pulled from various games services because the license for the music ran out as well. Thankfully they didn't make the pull out retroactively existing libraries. But I do worry that the next time it happens, that the lawyers may see that end users still having access to digital copy of some media is undesired.

As you say, having a DVD drive on everything may not be a priority. But I wouldn't go so far as to say that there's no value in owning physical media.
Okta Layoff
Heck yeah I did the same and thought I was so clever, huge upgrade at the time!
> Happily. I have more access to content now than I have ever had before; we live in a golden age of access to video content. I can't imagine a rational argument for going back to the era of physical media.

Please show me where I can access The Witches (2020) by Robert Zemeckis?

Or the Willow TV show from 2022

Or Final Space

Or Star Trek: Prodigy

Or Westworld

The shows and movies just disappear off streaming because some executive did the math and they'll save money by just taking things off the internet.

This is why you buy anything you want to see again or even show to your kids later on as a physical copy. (Or do the yarr-thing and hold on to the digital copy on your own hardware)
> The manufacturers’ forensic teams examined all of our systems to ensure that no access or persistence was gained. Nothing was found, but we replaced the hardware anyway.

This seems incredibly wasteful.

Replacing an entire datacenter is effectively tossing tens of millions of dollars of compute hardware.
I mean Apple's iTunes is at this point one of the only services that lets you "buy" TV shows and movies, and download and "archive"[1] them (for whatever that means, when the sony/playstation network is allowed to say "we couldn't agree on licensing terms so you can no longer play what we said you bought"). DVDs are super annoying, I have plenty that I can no longer play because they've physically decayed without even being used in years. Of course a bunch are also region coded so I used to have to have two players, one for my home country, and one for the US. I have no reason to believe Blu-ray is any better in those regards.

[1] The iTunes DRM scheme requires your playback device to have a key, so if you don't have a device with that key you'd have to sign in, and then if apple's contracts prevent them from providing new ones maybe they get stuck in the same position.
