This is always my pessimistic view of the world we live in today. Why in the world would they delete that data vs just putting it on mute/ignore/etc? The only "proof" you have is if you send a request to see the data they hold on you. If they send you an empty report because the ignore flag was set, you would only see an empty report. You have no evidence that the data was actually deleted.
That has not been my experience. It literally never happened to me. I actually proactively avoided recruiters back in the day because I found dealing with them exhausting.

Now, I would probably buy them dinner.
This title is so bad I can't believe it.
Yeah. If an app brings a high value to Apple with a low-nil chance of repercussions towards them, it has a very high chance of being approved for the app store. Quality or not.

A better analogy would be a general who had never been a junior officer.
I wonder why apple is so hell bent on enforcing Safari/Webkit as the browser engine? My assumption is that if they allow Mozilla/Chrome to implement their own engines, they could add better support for PWA's, which would directly cut into Apple's AppStore business. But that answer doesn't seem satisfactory as you'd think that PWA's would be huge on Android devices without such restrictions but even then, PWA's are not very popular.

My personal bet: Apple will relent and roll out "browser engine choice" globally within 1-2 years.
Probably one of my favourite episodes so far. I want familiar with Greg Wilson but I'm almost sure I stumbled onto some of his work before.

My only nitpick with the episode is the background keyboard typing that can be heard during the interview.

> Why is it broken by design?

I think your example self-explains why it's broken by design. It's a good example.

> a command line interface must be human readable and machine readable at the same time. There is no canonical way to solve this problem.

And you know, there could be one. Apple has Human Interface Guidelines to reify the meaning of the visual abstractions in its desktop UI. The problem is that the command line didn't come from people who think like Apple designers; it came from people who think "How can I express what I want using the least code possible, because laziness, impatience, and hubris are virtues?" And they weren't wrong for the time (especially because every byte matters), but the design decisions they made got baked into tooling that can't now be moved.

I think at this point we'd have to punt the POSIX toolchain to get something better; it's hard for me to imagine how we'd build discoverable, conceptually-consistent UX atop what we currently have.
Hey man. I just wanted to say that I used that search engine too and am sad to see it gone. Maybe it was bought by this picclick site that it redirects to?

More succinctly, here's my point: Maybe AVP is a better personal video player for people who are very into optimizing the experience of the content they're consuming. But almost every use of an ipad as a personal video player that I can think of isn't that.
no this research is new and came out like two years ago. it was a different take on the typical research about zoning. it basically looked at the time it took project to get approved. this was a novel approach (believe it or not)

This is only necessary because GitHub uses discussions to track requests instead of issues. I don't know why people insist on doing that. Issues have a very handy feature allowing you to be notified of specific events, like when it gets closed, but for discussions you can only subscribe to every new comment.
It does seem strangely personal, though I'll admit it is confusing to publish as a n engineering Dean.

My theory is this author, Andrew Gelman, is an MIT and Harvard trained academic that is incensed by the fact that a state-school educated, industry-focused individual would be a lead administrator at a University. I don't think he has a particularly high opinion of people that weren't precocious youth.
The current president spent a lot of money acquiring and maintaining a school in Incline Village. The idea behind this was to attract more students. However, they failed to enroll a single student in Fall 2023. He believes college is a lifestyle. He started a program to give all freshmen an iPad and wants them to 'spend a semester at Tahoe.'
How pray tell is the EU going to tell Apple what they have to do in the rest of the world?

Unfortunately for cool space battles, no this still doesn't work for the reasons outlined.

First off you have to remember that when a ship turns it's engine on it's going to be visible effectively to the entire solar system unless there is a planet or something in the way. We already have the capability that we would notice a ship moving in the asteroid belt from Earth and in the Expanse it's going to be even higher. So everyone already will have known when you turned your engines on and can run the calculations to see where you are while you are coasting, so even within the confines of the fiction that shouldn't work.

But let's ignore that and say that for some reason no one was looking when you turned your engines on. Assuming your ship is somehow running with all systems off it's going to be roughly 300 C hotter then the vacuum around it, even with a heatsink like you mention (and a heatsink that can store that heat for months is also unrealistic) you're going to be sticking out like a sore thumb to any infa-red. You're just too hot.
Postgres complicates the application in several ways. In particular, Postgres suffers from the n+1 problem, while SQLite does not. That requires a significant amount of added complexity in the application to hack around. Why over engineer the application before it has proven itself as something anyone even wants to use? Let's face it, the large majority of software written gets thrown away soon after it is created.

I already hear you saying that you know of a library that provides a perfect abstraction to hide all those details and complexities, making the choice between Postgres and SQLite just a flip of a switch away. Great! But then what does Postgres bring to the table for you to choose it over SQLite? If you truly prove a need for it in the future for whatever reason, all you need to do is update the configuration.

Dumb code, easily revertible has been, by far, the most effective way to prepare for changes in my experience.

Anything trying to be too smart, too generalised, too decoupled with plugable parts and it has a huge potential to become an entangled mess. While dumb code can be read and reasoned about quickly, if a change is easily revertible you can plug back the dumb code and try again without losing momentum.
It's a solution in search of a problem. Everyone says "this is first gen, and it will only get better." I don't think that's right. "this is first gen, and it will only get cheaper." is more like it. Walking around without peripheral vision in order to be able to watch YouTube in the train station is not worth any amount of money.

My group has been running netbox for a few months now and it's been useful for keeping track of departmental address allocations and half a dozen racks of equipment.

Slightly creepy? It looks like someone wired their whole face directly to the internet dopamine tap and turned it to eleven.
Fair enough, re: vertical integration and the need for specialized skills that produce in too high a volume.

But the goal isn't really to scale up -- you want to consume as much labor as you can and charge the rich through the nose for it. If you need to employ dozens of spinners who can only spin for four hours a day to avoid repetitive stress injuries to supply a single weaver to make your upholstery fabric for your high end couches, great, charge hundreds (thousands?) of dollars a yard for the material. They'll pay for the privilege of sniffing at the less rich whose furniture is upholstered with fabric spun by a machine.
Devil’s advocate but most research universities seem to serve the prestige and egos rather than students, especially grad students.
It's a decent question. I believe there's a simple answer that explains a large part of the reason people choose databases over flat files. People want ACID compliance _and_ data distribution, and databases are traditionally the only things that provide both.
That doesn't make sense. While IQ is mostly pseudoscience, I would still expect at least a small fraction of it to be inherited (along with money (not/) coming from (grand)parents' income in a smaller fraction of cases).
That's kind of a loaded question from an ethical standpoint, because the obvious answer ("No") tends to justify getting into an unnecessary war every so often to keep your armed forces from getting too rusty. But it's an interesting one.
My father was a medical doctor in the army. He rose to the rank of Colonel and they wanted him to become a general, but he didn't want to put in the number of years that would required to get his pension at the general level, so he declined. So... yes, you can become a general with zero combat experience.
The paper is extremely embarrassingly bad. It would be lame as a middle school science fair project.
This is really good stuff. My negotiation skills really benefited from Voss's Never Split the Difference and this is exactly the kind of thing he'd suggest, I think.

Except:

> salary is almost always the hardest thing to give

This is not really true. There are many things that are much harder to change, like composition of social groups, databases, upper management, sales-dominated development, etc. Changing money is just poking an accountant to edit a number in a spreadsheet somewhere. (That said, there may be even easier things to change, but money is far from the hardest.)

Yeah, I don't understand why prison labor should be controversial as long as they're not being treated terribly. Give them minimum wage if weighs on your conscience, and pay it out in a lump sum when they get out.

> Personally, I don't see why this is the hill Apple's dying on. They seem to have put in a fair amount of effort into creating a problem and APIs to allow for other browser engines to exist as peers to Safari (allowing JIT, multi-process, hooks into Lockdown Mode etc), but then restricted that all to the EU. This one seems more ideological than financial (like the other DMA-forced additions Apple is doing).

The more I look at this, the more I am convinced that Apple is trying to use the EU as a testbed before agreeing to apply these rules in more places. Third parties can make a browser, but they'll do it on Apple's terms - in a safe way, that doesn't eventually become a nightmare to maintain. Crucially, access to hardware will be mediated through API's and certain things will probably never be supported because of security or privacy concerns - so don't bother asking.

Your description reminds me of Star Fleet Battles. As a young teen I made the mistake of treating SFB like Star Trek, while also making the mistake of not realising that Star Trek itself was just doing space combat as ${year of filming}-era naval battles with latex and lightbulbs.

SFB is 1900-1945 naval warfare, but themed with every plot point from TOS and TAS and probably some novels too, so has the Kzinti, Tholian webs, Klingon stasis field generators, and two distinct weapons where the TV series uses just photon torpedoes.
It's not a very good summary. Just give reading it a chance - it's not too bad.

This is a common, but as much as I hate cell phone companies I don't think they ever asked for or advertised themselves as a secure identity verification solution and never should have been used as one.

Tech companies saw cell phone companies had a juicy piece of PII they wanted and SMS was kind of easy to use and common so they did what tech companies do best: They dumped the hard part onto to some one else, then accused them of being out of touch and archaic when they failed to carry the tech companies water for them.
I don't think being a governor is a bad experience, but not having a doctoral degree is a very unfavorable situation because essentially all academic research stems from holders of doctoral degrees. A doctoral degree is the foundational course on how to conduct research. In this scenario, how can someone without a doctoral degree lead an academic institution in its activities?

This article addresses the MacOS vs visionOS thing, but doesn't go hard enough. It is incredibly frustrating that Apple seems determined to serve this up as kid gloves experience vs a general purpose computing device with direct access to a real file system and ultimately a shell prompt. I am not in love with how Meta has locked down the Quest but at least there is a thriving sideload app ecosystem.

That is, at least there is a way to load up the media player of your choice and watch porn.

Look, I get that corporate America is strangled by puritan values from the payment processing networks on up, but it is arrogant and willful ignorance to pretend that adult content consumption is not a major part of the VR/MR story.

Steve Jobs was a dude who loved to talk about doing LSD but in his later years, he became awkwardly fixated on preventing people from using Apple devices for the stuff most real people do.

If you read the story, he was caught off guard. The fraudster dropped information on him while vulnerable, perhaps acting off a tip. They capitalize on lapses of reason and judgement.

I would call myself an expert in scams / cons with online activity, however I myself was recently scammed during the holiday season. Physically rather than digitally though with one of those fake gold cons employing a variety of different tactics. They caught me off guard in a variety of ways by being parked off a rural Country highway early in the morning (6 am). I pulled over to see if they needed any help and the guy instantly approached my car where I was even more flustered. Point is, scams all seem ridiculous after the fact, but these people are not fools when it comes to social engineering, applying pressure, and taking advantage of the holes in the swiss cheese.

Many variables would've had me on high alert in my situation, but even being the "expert" I am, I fell victim. It's always easy to look back after the fact, or even after you have a few seconds to breathe. They play on immediacy / urgency often, and intentionally try to paralyze you in a sense.

> Ten lines of calling ffmpeg or curl is not shell programming

Ten lines of calling ffmpeg or curl is shell programming in precisely the same sense that 100 lines of C that `#include <sys/socket.h>` are C programming.

If your code isn't standing on the shoulders of giants, you're probably wasting everyone's time.
That's a nicely balanced view. I've been working on the intersection between dev, sec and ops for many, many years and one of the most important lessons has been that every dependency is a liability. That liability is either complexity, availability, security, wasting resources or projects or key people disappearing. Do anything to avoid adding more service, library or technology dependencies; if necessary, let people have their side projects and technological playgrounds to distil future stacks out of.

There are good reasons to go OLAP or graph for certain kinds of problems, but think carefully before adding more services and technologies because stuff has a tendency to go in easily but nothing ever leaves a project and you will inevitably end up with a bloated juggernaut that nobody can tame. And it's usually those people pushing the hardest for new technologies that are jumping into new projects when shit starts hitting the fan.

If a company survives long enough (or cough government), a substantial and ever increasing amount of time, money and sec/ops effort will go into those dependencies and complexity cruft.
yeah but this one is more official right. It is from one of their team members.
