The slingshot penetrating your tank armor is not a helpful failure. Except for telling you that your processes are so wildly off base that you need to start over.

People who claim this kind of failure is useful are clueless. Failures are interesting in exploratory processes and useful when occurring within a predicted failure regime (i.e testing to failure). Unexpected failures in predicted success regimes just indicate process weaknesses. Repeated and continuous failures in similar fashions do not indicate strength, they indicate structural process deficiencies despite what cybersecurity bozos would like you to believe.
Yeah, this is what I’m referring to. It doesn’t matter if you have codes if people don’t follow them because of laziness and corruption.

I’m getting down voted, I guess I touched a nerve of the civil engineering folks.

I came to the knowledge I have from having discussions with my civil engineering friends. They were immediately disenfranchised a few years into their careers when they saw the corruption of the “construction cartels” in my city.

I’m sure it’s not true of every city, but it is in the city I live in here in Western Canada. Also common elsewhere in the world.
I’ll go against the grain here and say that I was not a huge fan of this book.

I do understand that this is one of the first times the nuclear apocalypse was covered in sci-fi. My main gripe was the writing and how poorly strung together the story was.

Overall the book touched on a lot of great ideas, but the writing felt like it was the first time the author had written a book. A lot of a storylines were touched upon but never completed.

The thread that is drawn throughout the story just isn’t rewarding enough in my opinion. And don’t get me started on the terrible foray into the ethics of suicide that came out of nowhere.

I’m all for reading books that are challenging and fall outside of your traditional tastes but I struggled to make it all the way through this book. I celebrated when I was able to finally put it down.
Does Safari sandbox between multiple PWAs running?

Besides, shouldn't it be up to the browser engine to decide on sandboxing between PWAs?

The important part for Apple should be that the browser engine itself is sandboxed from the rest of the OS.
Yes, but they also are smart enough to realize that the public can be swayed by Apple's shenanigans, and that sometimes you have to act low-key to not get the public opinion against you in these turbulent social times.
I think Project Zero would count as offensive work in this regard; they are actively trying to find problems in other systems, rather than trying to stop other people trying to find problems in their systems.
That makes sense! I didn't realise the proxies were sidecars, but that seems obvious in retrospect.

You guys should perhaps try something like liraglutide or semaglutide if you’re struggling. I honestly probably sound like a drug pusher… but…
In 2018 my weigh peaked at 140kg’s or around 300lbs. I went on a very strict diet and lost in total 68kgs naturally without weight loss drugs or surgery. I completely turned my life around, and was on top of both my diet and fitness whilst also working a demanding full time job etc. It was incredibly difficult, it took concerted effort and months and months of consistency but I really turned my life around and enjoyed living at a normal healthy weight.
Then 2020 happened, and I seemed to fall off the bandwagon. I, for whatever reason, struggled to maintain my loss. I by no means regained all the weight, but over the 4 years since 2020 I gained about 10-15kgs. Which is disappointing. Despite persisting with my exercise regime, I struggled to regulate my appetite.
So… my dr prescribed saxenda, and I’ve personally experienced a profound disinterest in food, even on the lowest dose of 0.6mg. It’s just made it profoundly easy to make the right choice when it comes to food, and to not over eat.
If I compared my previous weight loss effort to this, I would say the drugs are some kind of wizard sorcery when it comes to appetite regulation. I’ve not been on them long enough to boast substantial weight loss, but the fact that they’ve silenced the “food noise” I experienced is in itself a relief.

I guess the reason I’m sharing this is because as someone who used to be truely massive, I understand the struggle, however, these new GLP1 drugs mean it doesn’t have to be that hard. Unless there is legitimate medical reasons why a person can’t take it, I think people who struggle with weight should consider it. (That’s just my personal opinion, I know not everyone will agree.)
Thanks. It seems the macOS release is a bit behind on brew (0.9.1) and doesn't include the cjpegli tool yet.
I recently took a dive into the world of Wayland compositors, and ended up trying out both Sway and Hyprland. Sway just happens to be a Drew DeVault project, and unsurprisingly relies on LibreChat/IRC while Hyprland is Discord.

The Hyprland Discord was both more active and easier to get my questions answered, in no small part thanks to chat history and decent search. It felt like a world of a difference, and played a huge role in my going with Hyprland despite finding Sway source code better written and a slimmer running process.
Right, and that's not wrong. It's fine to have software like that.

But it'll probably never be as popular as software that gives a shit about decent UX design.
Since you're still dodging the 2009 issue - you'll need to put forward actual evidence re: 2014.

I acknowledge my quote was imprecise.
But both Android [1] and iOS [2] clients have git functionality built-in. You just swipe it up (for iOS) or press sync (and swipe too, don’t remember if it works on Android) and it syncs.

A couple of iOS notes:

- The iOS app has a nasty bug, when you have not the latest repo on your iPhone, it cannot merge changes. So I recommend syncing your repo first, and then add new passwords from your mobile. IIRC, Android has no issues with that, but I’m not sure here.

- If you have a complicated ssh key (I have gpg-key for that) the iOS client doesn’t work properly. Could also have issues with other keys. IIRC, it’s the iOS issue. So I use a very special iPhone-only key that I added to my GitLab repo, where my passwords are stored. I generated the key with `ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -m PEM -f /tmp/id_rsa` and transferred it to my iPhone via iTunes, to ‘pass for iOS’ application.

I don't know why integer derived types don't exist in every language, from what I understand they are a compile time feature that removes large swaths of potential errors.

We all agree that string enums are generally a good idea when we want to limit passed in configuration values to a limited set of valid strings, so why not ensure that if 2 (or 5...) integers are passed into a constructor (looking at you Java) that they are actually all of the proper "type" of integer?

For those who don't know what I am talking about, Ada lets you do stuff like (taken from the linked book)

type Age is new Natural range 0..150;

and now you can say that the age parameter on a function is of type Age, and if you try to pass some other integer type in, it will fail.

Ada's type system is so powerful that the metric system of measurements, with physics units, speed, acceleration, all that jazz, can be expressed in it.

I've seen C++ people say "but templates can do that!" but if I ask about how much eye bleed is included, they always change the topic...
Quite a bit of interesting history here. This resonates with my thoughts on the matter.

On the AI/automation point, my largest curiosity is what will happen when we get to 99+% of the automation of all value-providing labor. At that point, the concept of wage labor will be meaningless, and along with it the wherewithal of exchange which currently powers the world economy (money). If the vast majority of the population is unable to provide more value than machines can, what happens then?

It would seem the only logical course would be to return to de-facto cooperation, but humans aren't overall very logical IMO.

Piggybacking on the top comment to mention Gadgetbridge[1] A FOSS, cloudless replacement for the proprietary android apps of the fitness trackers. It can export the data as .gpx files which seems to be format used by Workout Tracker as well.

Those who want to use fitness trackers but are put off by trade off with privacy, Gadgetbridge and self-hosted applications like Workout Tracker are great alternatives.

> Requires a phone number to even sign up. How is that more usable than say opening up https://web.libera.chat and typing `/join #channel`

This is the level of hardheadedness you have to get through to interface with the FOSS community. People who actually think these things.

If you actually bother to engage with features in IRC and Discord, it is 1000% apparent how Discord is vastly more usable for the average user. Discord matches expectations for how an app or service will behave, and has a powerful set of features that are easy to grasp and require minimal or no setup. That's why it wins.

If you want to insist that IRC is actually more usable go ahead, but in realityland Discord has won for a reason.
You missed a key part. They need to be given in special consumption centers that have narcan on hand and other emergency equipment for OD. You also need to provide counseling and free detox for the people who want to get off the drugs.
China 'over production' in the new energy sector is the critical driver toward making the global shift away from fossil fuels. It can't be done without collapsing the cost the doing so.

Lawheads cope and seethe, prohibition has never been effective policy except for creating police states and organized crime cartels
Open AI is two entities.

The for profit entity is allowed to act in the interest of profits.

What is important is that the non profit must use the dividends it receives from the for profit entity in furtherance of is stated non-profit mission.

Elon does not have a point. He's simply proving that he is once again the dumbest guy in the room by failing to do basic due diligence with respect to his multi million dollar donation.

That being said, Altman is also doing sketchy things with OpenAI. But that was part of the reason why they created the for-profit entity: so Altman could do sketchy things that he could not do within the nonprofit entity. Regulators might be able to crack down on some of the sketch, but he's going to be able to get away with a lot of it.
wtf? It’s about sugar all along?
All good points, and also: Discord is not and will never be cool.
Smihula's waves, when extrapolated, would indicate a 15-year cycle for the smartphone era (assumed to have "innovation saturated" 2007-2022), and an 8-year cycle for AI (starting 2023). That's a staggering amount of change in too short a period to adjust to.

I myself never add passwords from my mobile, but I use mobile for adding 2FA (scanning QR-code), so my workflow as follows: I make sure I pushed the changes from my laptop/desktop with `pass git push`, then I swipe up on my iPhone, and only then I add 2FA code by scanning the QR-code. Then I push changes back, `pass git pull` from my laptop/desktop and add 2FA one-time codes manually. That may sound weird, but actually that’s quite simple for me.

Syncthing may just work here, but for me, I don’t run Syncthing all the time, only when I need to sync some changes, which is infrequent for me. As well as my passwords, actually. I don’t care too much with my mobile, as I try to limit my smartphone usage and pick laptop whenever possible, so to avoid over-consumption of media (which is easier on a modern smartphone). But that’s just another story.
Yeah I haven't mentioned Comma.ai and OpenPilot in a while. Let's see what happens!

I find such reasoning backwards. Indeed, shell scripting is not friendly to debugging. But ensuring correctness of shell scripts is essential: usually, they touch part of your "$HOME" or system folders and do tons of I/O, some of it destructive. I find it baffling to see people write careless scripts; sometimes using `rm` for cleanup with unquoted parameters, or much worse, dangerous uses of `mv`.

Hard to get advice from people who actually think Matrix is usable.

The reality is that a LOT of FOSS advocates are completely disconnected from reality and see no issue with that. They'll insist "there's nothing wrong with the UX" to their graves, no matter how many people are pushed away by bad design. They can't see it because it doesn't bother them, so as far as they're concerned the issues don't exist.

Then they'll make comments loudly wondering why <proprietary software> is so much more successful than <half baked FOSS alternative>.
Problem ist also health care, in Europe they will send you home post surgery with some non opiate pain killer to take. In the us they gave my friend one box of oxycodone of which he took half and a prescription for another one. I threw it away for him, because he thought it was fun taking it.
There are different grades of MDF each with a specific density. I suppose that a denser MDF will last longer, it certainly is heavier and stronger.
This is an example of I always say that the most intellectually dishonest people on earth are lawyers: their job is to have an opinion for money.

Can you imagine if you ask an engineer "do you think this bridge will hold?" and he replied "if you pay me I will think whatever you tell me". This could happen, but this would just be a corrupt engineer, it's not the profession is supposed to work. But this IS how lawyers work, by construction. If you pay them they will think what you tell them.

Knowing this, is anyone surprised that the guys who argued that 50bn is too much for the CEO want the lawyers (themselves) to be paid 5bn? No of course not. This is how their profession works, they're intellectual mercenaries.
I think you won't find more consensus amongst employment lawyers that laying off people like this is exactly the wrong way of doing it

> I agree with what it says; however, using Discord is even worse than using GitHub, since GitHub is a git-based service which others

I think Github is worse. The pervasiveness of this centralized platform leads to a way more insidious form of lock-in. Look at the vast landscape of developer tool vendors who offer some kind of Github integration features out of the box. These aren't even unique selling points, they are expected functionality. Bringing Micosoft Github in a very luxurous position where they can pick'n choose nuggets into their platform to slowly bring more value to their products and services.

It is all seemingly open, but you are a frog in boiling water, getting more dependent on the platform. This goes much further than git vs. github. The Github product suite offers real productivity gains, that cover many aspects of the software development lifecycle. And more added all the time. Hyper convenient, click and go. It is their strategic direction to cover ever more of this SDLC and intertwine with other products and services along the way.

From that regard git is just the data export format, your data takeout if you decide to leave. And good luck to find comparative services elsewhere.
In rural Georgia they were just outside wandering around in my otherwise meadowish yard with lots of wild plants among the grass.

Hi there! I'm a mid-level software developer (~3 years), with a frontend focus, currently looking for a full-time or contracting position.

Despite only having professional experience with frontend technologies thus far, I am also interested in expanding my knowledge and skills with backend, so I am open (and happily so) to consider positions that would require some backend development as well.

I love learning new things, am not afraid of challenges and always give my all to anything I do.

If you'd like to know more about me and what I can bring to your team, you know how to reach me :)

No, people that write comments like that one tend to be into Ayn Rand and think her pseudo-intellectual philosophy is something worth building a worldview around. The keywords, belligerence, and lack of actual intellectual engagement ("this is all stupid nonsense not worth talking about" is a key tell) are all there.
