Lol, wild. Mine was also a drunk lady slamming into my parked car. I had absolutely nothing to do with the theft and accident at all. And I was treated that way. I was actually out drinking for my birthday and my car was parked (downtown where I lived) next to a bar my friend worked at and he called me.

Nice, glad to see Actix Web still chugging along. I moved to Axum personally due to having access to the Tokio ecosystem as well as needing WebSockets support which was more ergonomic in Axum than Actix Web, but it's good to see competition between the two. If I recall correctly, Actix Web is still slightly faster than Axum.

The unfortunate part of web browser extensions is that, like the treadmill of web frameworks and app development, browsers can’t seem to stop changing and tweaking how extensions work and remove perfectly good functionality. So you end up sometimes having to rewrite an extension or its manifest with very little assistance from browser makers. But at least you don’t need to learn XUL any longer, so not all changes are bad ;-)
I love the story of William "Burro" Schmidt.

He was a miner in California. He had a reason, somewhat flimsy, to dig a half-mile tunnel through a mountain. Nominally it was to connect his mining claims to a smelter.

He started digging the tunnel, by hand, on his own, with pick-axe and dynamite. And, once started, he kept going, straight through granite, for thirty-eight years!

Finally he succeeded. He got to the other side.

It must have been a disorienting feeling -- "I've been digging for thirty-eight years, and I've achieved my goal. What do I do now?"

You'd think that maybe he'd finally start to set up his mine and run cars full of ore through the tunnel. That was the point, right? The whole justification for the project?

Nope. He sold his claim and walked away.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burro_Schmidt_Tunnel

It's the most wonderful, absurd, existentialist story, and it's real.

I forget where I first read it. This telling looks like it captures the right feeling:

I think people see extensions as a way to bypass code signing, distribution, and brand building.

So chrome (or whatever) becomes a platform for distributing and executing software.
Open models exist because silicon valley corporations with massive VC funding or institutional capital like Meta and Google stole millions of works from across the internet. Abusing the reputation of open source software does not mean you had permission to use that art in your model, and it doesn't wash away the ethical stain on these models.
From https://secwww.jhuapl.edu/techdigest/Content/techdigest/pdf/... it seems that the two control fins are driven off a single shaft/motor - so they are not independent.

The RAM uses single plane tracking - basically imaging that it's only ever steering in pitch. But because it's constantly rolling, "pitch" will sweep over both axes and control to zero.

This past week I started Ursula Le Guin's "Worlds of Exile and Illusion: Three Complete Novels of the Hainish Series in One Volume--Rocannon's World; Planet of Exile; City of Illusions"

These are her earliest, published novels. The introduction is a bit odd as the author hasn't read much le Guin including her most popular, award winning books other than The Wizard of Earthsea.

I'm not much of a critical reader, but these definitely do not have the philosophical depth (or I don't have the philosophical depth to pic up on it) of The Dispossessed and friends, but they are interesting and well written.

I wish browser extensions had more fine-grained permissions but it's a tricky problem verifying if software is using permissions maliciously (see the Obfuscated C Code Contest and the Underhand C Contest) and how to communicate nuanced permissions to users (most users don't read and/or understand tech stuff, and can be easily mislead).

A tip in Chrome that I never see mentioned if you want to be extra safe when trying extensions:

- Go to Profiles > Add profile > Continue without account

- Install any extensions you feel like in this profile and they're completely isolated from the tabs logins, history, cookies and so on in your regular profile. Similarly, you can run Chrome Beta or Chrome Canary for installing extensions into, alongside regular Chrome.

E.g. you can install 10s of potentially risky web development extensions into this profile (they usually need a lot of access to do what they need to do), and keep them sandboxed away from the profile where you do your personal banking or login to work websites.

It's not practical for every extension, but I do this for my web development stuff and only use a couple of extensions for personal stuff.

I sell a browser extension where the permission I really want to ask for is "can only observe the network traffic it sends/receives in its own tabs" but I'm lumped with having to ask for the "read and write all your data" permission, but I make sure to share the above tip in the description (shameless plug: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/checkbot-seo-web-sp...).
I have a 3% loan on one of my $25k cars I race because my money makes 8-10% in the markets and having $25k sitting in them vs giving to a leinholder dropped me 3-4% yoy on it (3% loan), but it still isn't 0, or negative it's in the +4-8% range. I also take tons of 0% loans year through year. You can utilize debt and credit to your gain it becomes more of a "Ok I will pay you $30k in 3 months instead of right now because my money sitting here makes more than you charge me to borrow or less than the money makes sitting in my account paying you 3%." You know, those 4.5%+ SAVINGS accounts right now?? I make TWICE that in the market.

It's not smarter to bypass Apples 0% interest financing on a $3500 macbook or VR headset than drop the $3500 that will now make %0 interest for you immediately.

Some of you (all of us?) were taught some moral/ethical line about not incurring debt by our ignorant boomer parents who follow the "don't ever be in debt!!!" mantra, which is literally impossible nowadays. And they are INSANELY in debt. Almost every boomer home owner has a reverse mortgage!! Your boomer parents were rich at $50k. We are not. My boomer parents had a $150k 3500sq ft house. I have a $3100/mo 1300sq ft townhouse. Living good on that $.79 Clinton gas.

Learn financing.

I pay my boomer parents rent now because they royally fucked up their finances. Do not listen to boomers for financial advice. And I mean the bobbleheads on TV as well. I guarantee a LOT of you will be paying your parents rents soon. My moms 71. They were stupid beyond belief with their money. Just remember all the trash they bought in the 1990s, 454 cubic liter 2500 HD suburbans? Hummers? Massive houses?

Go torch your Kiyosaki books and everything else and throw that $1500 Camry you've driven for 35 years in the trash and spend the whopping $20k on a modern car that can survive a collision and enjoy your life. Who gives a fuck if you're rich at 75 when you can't do anything, that new cars compound interest isn't saving your retirement or not.
I feel gentoo reduces that hassle a fair amount since you can just toss the patches in and the distro pulls them in on updates. So long as you're not messing with APIs it's not too bad in terms of bitrot.

... I suppose you could do the same thing with debian too. You'd just need to maintain an overlay repo that rebuilds off the upstream deb sources for the packages you touched.

At that point you're pretty much doing the same thing distro's volunteer maintainer is doing. Take an upstream package, add tweaks, rebuild them automatically with tweaks on the next upstream release.
I’ll give you good odds that if you ever talk to the CFO about the transactions they personally sign off on, it’s a lot of emails and spreadsheets passed around. Processes are there for the little people, the big ones are chefsache. I also know what the biggest risk are. Not the automated stuff, not the very big M&A stuff, it’s the not yet automated routine combined payment order that is boring but rests on a few insiders to keep working. Insiders are very much in demand for these cons. The voice of the CEO is nothing, you need the proper tone, the proper pomp and circumstance.

All projectiles become much shorter range weapons. Maybe once they've got gunpowder they can finally fight at range, though each shot would require a lot more gunpowder relative to the same shot on earth. Maybe it sort of washes out if you figure the inhabitants are all stronger and more sturdy as a result of the gravity.
Reading through this I'm reminded of another article from about a month ago, An app can be a home-cooked meal [0]. Whenever someone starts on a new language or framework, people are quick to ask "why" and bemoan the proliferation of languages and frameworks. I think this article is a good illustration of the "why".

What the author understands that so many don't is that a language can be a home-cooked meal. A programming language is nothing more or less than a tool for use by a programmer. Compilers have a lot of mystique about them because of all the crazy optimizations that production-grade compilers put in, but fundamentally a compiler is just a pipeline that transforms a data structure from a format that the human would prefer to interact with into a format that a specific machine can work with.

rcl is a home-cooked meal kind of configuration language. It was never intended to serve a wide audience, it was intended to solve a specific human's pain points and help that specific human with their task. Its value lies in that it doesn't need to try to be anything else.

I think what we need the most is a "view source" for browser extensions installed from the store: make it easy to view the source and to extract the browser extension into a folder.

Make it easy to find out which web pages they access and which they modified.

Minimized/encrypted code in extensions should be forbidden. It should be very easy to read the code.

E.g. this extensions says "records user activity", but what is that really: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/coffeelings/hcbddpp...

I’m not the person you asked, but I’d do none of the above. I’d buy the boxes and carry them. They’re presumably perfectly ordinary parallelepipedical cake boxes, perfectly suited for carrying in your hands. There’s no need for a bag.

I suspect it’s more about cost savings than environmental concerns, but the grocery store we frequent doesn’t provide bags at all. However, you can take boxes from the pile they have set aside that usually contained produce originally. So, the boxes are used at least twice, and then we drop them into recycling. On top of that, I find the boxes more convenient to load and unload since it only takes 2 or 3 versus handling dozens of bags. Obviously this won’t work if you don’t have a car, or perhaps a cart, when you go grocery shopping.
14.4 is beta. If betas can’t be beta, they are pointless and Apple shouldn’t bother releasing them.

They're much too big of a target now for spy- or malware. They have too much access to everything we do in a browser. And you can't just evaluate them once, they auto-update silently and you never know when they might be bought by a malicious actor.

I use a very limited set of extensions I trust like uBlock origin and Bitwarden. Also some developer extensions, but usually not on my main browser. Everything else is just not worth the risk for me.

Been doing DevOps/SRE for the past 7-8 years. I've found myself working well in positions where I can work closely with other engineers to build out Cloud/Distributed Infrastructure and develop software in a way that makes it not painful to run in the cloud.

I can help take small MVP applications & infrastructure, and help turn it into something that can scale up as the business does. I'm comfortable working with any stack- just depends on how much time it'll take me to brush up on the language or design.

> Microsoft on the other hand is a typical SKU-mover

As far as I can tell there is nothing typical about Microsoft. The sophisticated, deeply-root long game they’ve executed extremely well puts them in a very different place. As a contrast to Apple, the differences are striking - not because of the difference between “bing” and “bling”.

It seems more and more that sports tickets are exclusively available on Ticketmaster, who charges pretty significant fees of around ~18%. If you need to resell the ticket, they take their 18% again.

I've also seen A/B tests where they experiment with higher fees. Using a different browser sometimes gets you a different price.

I think riskV is as close to an open source CPU we have at the moment, unfortuantly most riskV cpu's rely on the company having IP that is protected like the CPU layout or the core architecture as of what I understand of modern CPU design.

RISKV has been a great step forward and I'd love to see it succeed but I'm also aware of the lack of open source architecture for GPU's or AI accelerators.
