It’s a good question that seems to hit the same chord as the death penalty argument.

I don’t hold this view, but I think the answer is: the goal is punishment, not deterrence, nor rehabilitation. People want “justice” which, in their view, can only be served via harsh punishment.
Also, "off the shelf" often comes to mean "a proprietary, poorly documented and clunky framework or programming language, disguised as an application".

Also most people who want to play around with local models aren't developers at all.

> I just can't figure out what the fixation is

I see this happen over and over: there's a new system change, some things don't work as well, so people revert & try to cling to the old system.

This is a bit of a fallacy that comes from looking at only what is lost, and not the total tradeoff of what is gained & lost. I think it's not unreasonable to fixate on sync meetings, because your procedures & culture have been built around it. But I think it'd be more productive to "roll forward" and figure out how to make the best use of the new system, and plug in any gaps it has.

We've gotten pretty damn good at curing colorectal cancer (not including QOL). The 5 year survival rate for even Stage 3 (locally advanced with nearby lymph nodes) is around 70%. Stage 4 (other organ involvement) is still basically a death sentence, but most people are in their doctor's office long before then. All this to say, there is going to be diminishing returns for any new treatment or early diagnosis.
For macOS users, I'm the author of Textinator [0] a similar utility for macOS that uses Apple's Vision framework [1] for doing the OCR natively. Modern versions of macOS (since Sonoma) have a similar ability to copy text from images using the Live Text feature [2] but Textinator works on macOS Catalina and later and simplifies the "take screenshot, copy text to clipboard" workflow. It's also an example of how to build a native macOS app entirely in Python.

Until carriers are hit with substantial penalties, this will continue. T-Mobile allowed a SIM swap at a retail store on my line, which I noticed in real-time. Corporate couldn’t have cared less, even though I had all the names and location and detail from the store after I investigated myself.

Worst part? They send a text saying, in effect, “we’re chabeing your SIM in 15 minutes unless you call us”

This is AFTER their supposed security improvements, but then again so are the two other hacks where customer data was leaked.

Don’t use SMS 2FA and set the most obnoxious ringtone for your carrier’s short codes. Take the most defensive approach to being a cell customer because the carriers won’t save you.
This is certainly true - I'm not saying "large file" in the colloquial sense of the "big data" but rather as in - a file you might want to open in Excel/Google Sheets. I've worked actual large datasets before - upwards of 500GB - pretty often before an I really wouldn't think about using my laptop for a such a thing!

We are thinking of making data connectors to major DBs though so you should be able to do a similar style visual analysis while keeping the compute on your DB.
Around 20 years ago when I was trying to decide on what database to use my requirement were that it should store data reliably. I learned that MySQL in contrast to PostgreSQL:
1. wasn't ACID
2. didn't have foreign key constraints
3. could loose/corrupt committed data (no WAL)

Despite me not knowing much about databases it seemed like an obvious choice.

Nice to see PLCs called out here— they're ground zero for traditional factory automation, and are typically the easy route to anything that needs to be low volume and programmable while also being capital-s Safe.

But anything smarter than a tape-following AGV also has a computer on it running a bunch of high level perception and control software, so there's a natural friction point there, particularly if the PLC can only be flashed from proprietary Windows-based software.

This is a cudgel that will be used by both/all sides as they see fit to stifle narratives and manipulate platforms they disagree with.

The only option is to pursue freedom of speech because any method to define what is acceptable and not will be manipulated by those who can.

As you can tell by the greyness of this comment, some people have a problem with not being able to manipulate speech.

For reference, look at the definition and usage of the word terrorism over the last 30 years. Compare 1990s' usage with today's usage. You would think people knew what terrorism meant back then --like defining acceptable speech today. What will it mean tomorrow?

How about this: Before enabling a replacement eSIM for a new phone, an SMS or two are sent to the old phone to notify and authorize the movement.

1. If the old phone SMSes back a confirmation, things proceed immediately. This makes upgrades, trade-ins, and certain replacements (where the old phone is somewhat functional) nice and fast.

2. If the old phone SMSes back a denial, disable everything temporarily and get customer-service into the loop. This is justified because it suggests either the online phone-account has been hacked or else the old phone has been stolen.

3. If there is no response from the old phone... well, I'm not sure, but at least the first two routes have siphoned off some important fraction of cases.
Incorrect. McDonalds might calculate that for every hour someone sweeps in front of their store, they make $7 in profit. If someone is willing to do that for $6 an hour, they will pay. If minimum wage is $8 an hour, they will leave the dirt and leaves there.

That has nothing to do with having an economically viable business model.

Hey Max, love what you all doing with PRQL! It's a wonderful tool.

That makes sense. I ran into some old issues about Pivot but it seems it's not been implemented yet. And yes, s-strings wouldn't work - the DuckDB pivot statement looks like this:

PIVOT ⟨dataset⟩
ON ⟨columns⟩

GROUP BY ⟨rows⟩

So, we'd have to pass the `dataset` so far into the pivot statement. This is where CTEs come in handy but happy to hear if there's a better solution :)

This is very similar to the Mission Valley leg of the San Diego trolly. This was the first trolly project developed in modern San Diego, and connected hotels to the "charger statium". Supposedly to allow tourist to go to football games from their hotel. Then, the chargers ditched San Diego and moved to LA 8-/

Meanwhile, El Cajon Blvd, which mostly parallels the route of that Mission Valley trolly route, but goes through residential and business areas and connects the city core to SDSU continues to have no trolly. In spite of the fact that this was a major trolley route back in the day when US cities originally had trolleys.

Ironically, that original Mission Valley trolley route now connects to SDSU, but doesn't travel through the most densly packed part of the city.

Rather than use a general algorithm, your compressor would have to reason: I'd have to spend a bit to disambiguate x & y, but only x is a valid board state, so I won't bother and the decompressor also knows I won't bother so it will all work out.

This is adorable and amazing. Shoutout to the guy who did a similar thing years ago with Three.js and a little monster truck. If anyone remembers what I’m talking about please link it! Pops up here every now and again.

Some things I love:

- The content is hidden but every object is interactable with a cute message. This is a great way to make me want to keep “playing” without getting frustrated. Great principles of Consistency and Discoverability.

- The graphics are perfect, and fit well on a phone. Did you use AI or maybe buy this pixel art? Either way its minimalism adds an air of professionalism IMO.

- The messages are just adorable.

What I didn’t like:

- As others have said, needs a header for shortcut navigation. What if we’re sitting in an interview and I’m just trying to pull up your resume?

- Needs some indications right at the start showing what’s possible and which direction it lies in. I know I complemented the gamification/scavenger hunt aspect, but I think a little practical consideration for the less hacker-inclined would be nice. Maybe in-universe signs, or a short welcome message?

- the computer doesn’t really look like a computer. Where’s the chair??

- There’s a weird pause before it prints any links to the message block. A tiny blemish on a very satisfying UI

Long story short, well done! I’m sure this will kill on YouTube. Please share any ideas you had on the way to this so we can (politely) steal them!!

It’s because the majority of tech firms with sufficient capital are not willing to invest in the development of a full product, nor frankly, do they have the leadership to do so. I also believe they don’t have the smarts to capitalise on disruption, so they’d much rather maintain the status quo by swatting competitors.

However the c-levels at those companies are happy to chase $$$, and will closely copy whichever hardware and software is deemed the best in the market at the time. Some also do this because they see the product as a threat to their core business.
