Honestly, the things I've seen slow down deploys and engineering schedules are:

1. Using Git Flow. This inevitably leads to many branches for different teams/deploys/reasons and cherry picking among them and something always goes wrong. Because management opted into depending on a fragile branching system.

2. Many repos with some kind of inter-repo dependencies (usually testing or ops). Some of that can be cleared up with packaging. Some maybe not so much. This is another kind of complexity that management chooses, but management fails to account for that complexity when scheduling.

The "oh, no, your PRs are too big!" problem happens with every dev. Probably more than once. But it doesn't seem like a serious ongoing issue. As long as someone says "oh, no, your PRs are too big!" It's recognized as a problem and dealt with. The other two I've mentioned are not even recognized as problems.
Firefox is safe bet. But not sure why would Brave have special problem with Spotify, it is Chromium based.
Reminds me of the mess that the LTA are in the UK regarding getting Wimbledon tickets.

Over the years they've changed domains several times, had a breach, reset passwords multiple times, and now do part of their login via a random third party site (but to make it worse they push you to sign you up to a second form of account which logs in separately!)

You're free to use the workflow used by the Linux kernel, but a lot of people prefer Graphite because it is easier to use and integrates with GitHub PRs better. If you find value in Graphite (as many devs do), then you can pay $30 and support its development.
What concerns me is that this mentality of erecting infuriating
barriers will eventually lead to direct in-person stalking of staff.

If anyone has honest anecdotes around this I'd love to hear from you
(maybe privately is best if its detailed accounts)
That’s a very charitable interpretation of “libraries have become homeless shelters”

Personally, I've never been comfortable signing off changes that don't correctly and fully implement the requirements.

If I see a function has something that might be a security bug, depending on how it's called from elsewhere in the codebase, how am I supposed to recognise it as a bug or otherwise, when the code to call it hasn't even been written yet?
Maybe they forgot some `memo` so it re-renders everything including iframes all the time.
But Europe would just replace cranes that spy for China with cranes that spy for the US... what's the point?
In that case I want the Sensor™ to be physically unable to send out actual images to the computer that handles the vending machine, so no software update can actually start doing something else than they claim it to do originally.
Yeah, except it’s not slides. It’s a virtual canvas and there is no reason in the whole world for it to behave like it’s something physical, when it’s not. It makes zero sense, there shouldn’t be any checkbox in the first place. Just make it how it should be and never ask me. There’s enough checkboxes already. How can you develop a tool for designers if you never ask them first?
Partial responsibility is a hard thing, it's way easier to blame just one of the parties, but the fact is that both give, and take, and are in a not 100% healthy relationship. The algorithms optimize soullessly for engagement, because what else should they do, hurt the business? Meanwhile, people struggle with willpower, but they themselves are the only ones who can actually do anything about it. Preying on weaknesses is morally reprehensible though, well, maybe not according to machiavellianist people, but still. We regulate subjects of addictive behavior all around the world, realizing that population-wise, it's not the most sustainable ideas.
I notice that the news media are bigging up the *private enterprise* angle for some reason -- marketing of commercial transport services maybe?

But I also note that Odysseus cost NASA a little over $100M on a fixed price contract, per Ars Technica.

By way of comparison, the Indian government's Chandrayaan-3 mission, the lander of which touched down in 2023, cost roughly $90M.

So private space isn't automatically cheaper than 100% government agency-run missions: it just depends on the agency.

I don't quite follow how the IP address would be different. Could you elaborate on that?

This is technically possible, but for ~3,000 products, checking on an hourly basis would make ~72,000 requests per day -- which definitely would get flagged, I think.
Well at some point you expect some artifacts to show up, even if not just code, design docs, RFCs, code reviews, something. If there truly is nothing I don't think that's a viable way to contribute either. Sure one can "only help others" but all good engineers I've worked with can help others and still do their main tasks, and if they get to a point where they are a point of reference for everyone else and everyone else gets blocked without them this is a high priority thing to fix in the team, probably one of the highest priority things to fix.
Neat! I'd love to have to ability to sort by a column.

Are you pretending people can't be distracted by choosing which song on spotify they want on android auto or car play?

distracted != tapping on your phone

Having a handless call in your car arguing about what to buy at groceries in your return trip from work with your significant other can be a dangerous distraction. Sure your eyes may be steered towards the road but your focus might be somewhere else and make you miss important stuff. Or telling the kids at the back to shut up and stop fighting.

I wish people would be more aware of that and wouldn't think they can just drive their car as if it was an extension to their living room.
It's strange this doesn't support plain nosql databases. I'm not sure I see the value in a full blown relational setup for... form submissions.
But that course of action would require the state to be somewhat tech literate and use their big brain.

Why pay a small company a six figure bounty to reverse engineer and patch out the phoning home spyware, when you can pay upwards of eight figures via juicy government contracts to someone like Allen Bradley or Rockwell?
Does anybody know what kind of software was patched? Some Ada/C++ code?
It might be simple, but not easy.

There are more possible realities. You listed the 3 first. There are more options, at least these:

4. You paid the taxes when you bought the stuff. Fedex wants the taxes anyways. They would have kept your extra taxes for themselves in the end.

5. You paid the taxes when you bought the stuff. Fedex wants the taxes anyways. They would have paid the extra taxes. The government kept them because, hey, they trust Fedex.

6. You paid the taxes when you bought the stuff. Fedex wants the taxes anyways. They would have paid the extra taxes. The government kept them but eventually returned them, because some kind of accounting kicked in.

7. You didn't pay the taxes when you bought the stuff. The sender didn't either. Fedex informs the sender and you. Fedex pays out of pocket. The sender pays out of pocket.

Could have happened if you paid:

8. You didn't pay the taxes when you bought the stuff. The sender didn't either. Fedex informs the sender and you. Fedex pays out of pocket. The sender pays out of pocket. You pay out of pocket. Fedex keeps twice the taxes in the end.

9. You didn't pay the taxes when you bought the stuff. The sender didn't either. Fedex informs the sender and you. Fedex pays out of pocket. The sender pays out of pocket. You pay out of pocket. The fed. governemnt keeps triple the taxes.

And many variations I can't think of right now.
The biggest banks and brands in India as well as the government organizations do this type of poorly thought communications all day.

This is beyond me to understand properly, so stupid question time:

Is this, or could this be modified to be, able to sync an sqlite database (or really the data it contains) between devices?

I'm aware of other ways to do this but if there was an internal sqlite way to do this...
Here's what gpt4-turbo-preview outputs (with max output of 256 tokens, so the result was truncated).

P.S. have you tried testing what happens when you clearly describe what you want? The prompt you're using is really low quality - more like a google search. If you asked me a question like that I'd tell you to clearly explain what it is you want.

If you have multiple files with names like `index.html.1`, `index.html.2`, etc., and you want to rename them to `image_1.png`, `image_2.png`, and so on, using Zsh, you can accomplish this with a simple loop and the `mv` command.

Here is how you could do it in a Zsh terminal:

```zsh
autoload -U zmv
zmv -W 'index.html.*' 'image_*.png'
```

The `autoload -U zmv` command loads the `zmv` function, which is a powerful utility in Zsh for batch renaming files. The `-W` option tells `zmv` to use wildcard patterns for matching and renaming files.

In the `zmv` command:

- `'index.html.*'` is the pattern to match. It matches any file that starts with `index.html.` followed by any characters.
- `'image_*.png'` is the replacement pattern. The asterisk `*` in the replacement pattern corresponds to the `*` in the match pattern, so each matched number after `index.html.` gets placed where the `*` is in `image_*.png`.

**Important:** Always make sure

Some say scammers are very smart, and that they deliberately use every trick in the book to tap into our psychological weaknesses and make us act irrationally. But I have the feeling that, 90% of the time, scammers are just told to write an "official-sounding" message – which is the same thing that the hypothetical human who wrote this template was trying to do: that's why the result is so similar. No doubt the use of the word "urgent", or capitalizing the words "Duty" and "Taxes", come from this attempt at making the message sound more formal and official, from someone who is definitely not a skilled writer.

At work we are using Inertia.js as an interface between React and Rails (inertia is just a tiny library/protocol that lets you use React or Vue replacing your mvc framework templates)

FWIW, I did exactly that a few times where I was 90% certain the e-mail is legit, but it still looked like a phishing attempt. The IT department needs to learn to do better, this is inexcusable, especially in a corporation with otherwise restrictive policies that waste ridiculous amounts of money and effort (think: Windows Defender real-time "protection" on developer machines, with no way to exclude your repos).

An app to automate cold DMs followup
Following up in DMs is too hard.

Following up on anything is really hard. I've been a ghostwriter for a few months now. The greatest problem I've had is following up on my cold DMs. For cold emails, I had Apollo which followed up automatically after a day, 2 days, 1 week, etc.

I never wanted to track DMs in a spreadsheet or spend my little time as a student, 9-5er, and pastor trying to figure out who to follow up on. That's how DMfollow was born.

I needed something to help me automate followups in my DMs and you need one too. Still in building stage.

Unrelated to the actual topic, but kudos to the Tom’s Hardware site that they serve a 24 years old web posting flawlessly.
i get your point, but i actually think that RTOS solutions will remain interesting as i believe they should be able to run on less power thus enabling uses that devices which need more power can't. (like a wrist watch that doesn't need to be recharged as often)

Hi, I also found that a bit weird. All settings look normal, but somehow it appears in Turkish. I hoped it would look like this only if you are in Turkey, but your language is set to English (like mine), so I guess that's not the case. Thank you for the feedback; I will look into it.

So far every time I’ve gotten dodgy AF texts or emails I’ve been able to verify at the real site… crazy that FedEx doesn’t have the info attached to the tracking.
I wonder if people opening it to look for something that is out of stock has a large effect.
And the problem with McCarthyism wasn't so much what was happening in congress, it is that the accusation of being a communist made you unemployable in Hollywood or elsewhere. It's extraordinary that Hollywood re-established a black list after having produced so many movies complaining about those years. You are now required to show loyalty to the woke agenda in university admissions, research grants, hiring and promotion process in large companies.

It might be relevant, because labor isn't just about working in a silo. A significant part of work might be done in a team setting, where communication, feedback loops, constant interaction, collaboration, code reviews, team spirit, and more are important.

I'm not suggesting should offer your free time to help cultivate this, but in my experience it does help with building a good work relationship with your colleagues - either outside of work or even at lunch - which then improves the outcome of the labor.
In a case I read (can't remember where), reservation data was somehow leaking (either from booking or from hotels), and scammers were sending messages purporting to be the hotel saying the room was cancelled or mischarged or something like that.
Everyone thinks their preferred stack is the best in the world and should be used by everyone for everything and everything else is wrong.

American style corruption aka lobbying
$90M goes a lot further in India, though. But yes, you’re still correct that this mission doesn’t prove that private is cheaper. I’m sure that Intuitive Machines took a big loss on this in order to get the deal, and it still cost this much.

You're getting a soda's worth of money from every person who is tricked, and some will notice the trick before it happens or hear about it. I'm guessing it's not worth the price of the machine, tech, install costs and opportunity costs of a normal vending machine.
Similar, but one place, and same with post-it notes. It went down the shitter when Jira was force fed and all the problems related to keeping them in sync arose.

As a rough approximation, you need something like sqrt(N) entities before the birthday paradox becomes an issue.

The Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Square_approx... gives the approximation as:

n = sqrt(2 * m * p(n))

where p(n) is the probability of having a collision.

Let p(n) be 1e-9 (a 1 in a billion chance).

With fossil's old default of SHA1's 160 bits you'll need roughly sqrt(2 * 2^80 * 1e-9) = 49 million artifacts before the likely duplicate.

A 1 in a billion chance might still be scary (if everyone on Earth has their own 50 million repo, each with unique artifacts, then there will be duplicates!), but SHA1 use in fossil is mostly a historical issue.

With fossil's new default (since v2.10 in 2019) of SHA3-256, you'll need something like 1.5e34 artifacts before there is a 1-to-a-billion chance of a duplicate.

As MathMonkeyMan's link points out, you can configure your repository to "shun-sha1" and only allow sha3.
I’m one of those using remix and I do like it a lot, but I don’t have much hope. I wish I’m wrong but probably in a couple years we’ll be all hating it. I also liked next a lot in the early days. Somehow they always manage to fuck yo and nothing reaches “Rails” levels of stability/popularity in the js world.
I mean you do the request from within the user's browser (their IP address).

So for example, they filter out 5 products, and from the javascript in the browser you perform the request for those 5 products, and then show the user which ones are available. It could also send the data back to your server. Of course you still have to be careful with the number of requests, but it would allow you to get more data without getting flagged.
I don't understand why people care what he has to say on any of the topics he gets asked to give an opinion on.
Battery life would be a major reason.
The correct thing to do in that case is to stop before picking up your phone and if it happens to much stop using it altogether and switch to a more reliable system.
Even worse, is where attempts to query that security is actively punished.

Oh yeah absolutely. Sorry, I only meant to give a very narrow clarification. :-) I just didn't want folks thinking that rebar was providing measurements for C# compile time regexes. You're absolutely right that that might mean compile time regexes are even faster than what rebar reports.
Seeing entries listed high in G3D/$ descending order as a consequence of "Condition: For parts or not working" driving listed price into far-left outlier territory relative to their operable equivalents.

Here in Poland, I've already had several banks and at least one insurer send me CD-ROMs. Never heard of anyone sending USB sticks before, but I'm not surprised. The problem is, approximately no one owns a CD/DVD reader anymore, and there are no modern read-only physical media. With SD cards also going the way of the floppy, USB stick is just about the only medium you can hope most customers have means to read.

What really slows git down is asking PR writers to rebase constantly while they are trying to fix typos in their PR.
You can do this on Dashtoon Studio. They let you upload just one image and train a consistent character Lora. It's a software for AI comic creation. Found this video on their youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEQwEvKQGvE
Lora is by far the most versatile because you can get your character consistently in any pose and in any camera angle. IP adapter replicate too many traits from the input image, and you can't choose what not replicate like the pose. So getting a character from a portrait input to do anything else can become. For Reactor you need a generated image into which you can swap in a face. Works very well for realistic images, for stylized images the style is not maintained. Also hairstyle won't get copied.
So Dashtoon is the most reliable thing and easy thing I've found so far because collecting 20 images of a new character is hard and the properties of the images in a Lora training set are really important like how many close ups, how many expressions etc.
