There's also a huge tendency to design for fast, high quality connectivity. Try using any Google product on airplane wifi. Even just chat loads in minutes-to-never and frequently keels over dead, forcing an outrageously expensive reload. Docs? Good luck.

I wish software engineers cared to test in less than ideal conditions. Low speeds, intermittent connectivity, and packet loss are real.
I recently visited Brazil and had my shiny new phone snatched from my hand ... now with my spare 4 years old phone, frankly dont see any difference. But I use Firefox with all the ad blockers, maybe that helps.
You realise this is a new incident, not reporting on the incident in January?

One would expect a lesson to have been learnt 2 months ago, and extra vigilance on fuselage panels on 737s to have been implemented.
If "plenty of interesting properties of familiar mathematical objects cannot be captured by a first-order theory" then that also undermines ZFC, which is a first-order theory.

I’m in Canada and have a single digit plan and I just upgraded from an almost decade old flagship. Most websites are torture.
It said it affected back to Java 8, so seems like this design has been there for a while, and since older versions are EOL, any Java level fix would not be patched back.
I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to here.

You can have as many "FROM"'s as you want.
"FROM scratch" along with "ADD" is also valid (for non-image dependencies).

From there you do not need to copy things, you can mount the reference into another stage directly.

Also, this is the Dockerfile format, the underlying build API's are _far_ more powerful than what Dockerfile exposes.
Tesla also has the key card, which you could just put in your wallet.
I worked at a now-defunct electronics store (not fry's in this instance) in the early 2000s that offered this "tune-up" - it was to remove the stuff that HP and Dell got paid to pre-install, and to fully update windows and whatever else.

Remove the mcafee nuisance popups and any browser "addons" that were badged/branded. and IIRC we charged more than $50 for that service back then.
Isnt this the same thing?

Slow product adoption = difficult to get users.

Scaling a product = difficult to get users

Bootstrapping is hard.
Also perhaps different markets are different due to local law and competition.

Mintlify GitHub read/write token leak
I'd been interested in Mintlify and their documentation platform for a while.

I saw this pop up based on this Reddit thread and on Twitter as well:

This seems serious? Is this really serious?

Why would they need to save these tokens in the first place?
The timeframe described would work for something written for a System/370, no? That stuff, along with the tooling, will run all day long on a current Z Series.

The top comment on this thread by gostsamo is "As someone blind, my two pens [pence?] are that noise, power consumption, and fragility are things that could be compromised to a large degree."

How many do you consider 'huge numbers'? There's another comment saying a Braille cell is 8 dots, and if you average changing half of the dots each time to change state, you could barely get into double digits to keep ahead of the fingers.

> "This approach is therefore difficult to consider for a real world deployment."

It only had 10 seconds of thought; I just skim read the article which was all about mechanical actuation and the difficulty of making so many small and precise and reliable actuators cheaply enough, and wondered about options that didn't require that part. Air, electric current (e.g. the vibration felt in a pot on an induction hob vibrating some loose rods without having to actually lift them), or a one-finger glove where there is only a few actuators and they change as the finger slides over a table, or no actuators - a design like the way a CRT screen has a scanning electron beam activating each pixel, although I have no ideas how a design like that could activate Braille dots.

We define all our YAML config in typescript and just serialize it out. It’s a CI error to update the config scripts but not commit the newly generated YAMLs so nothing gets out of sync, and it’s usually only a few minutes work to write a typedef for a new config file type. Highly recommended.

> what attitudes software engineers supposedly have

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a company take performance seriously. No one scoffs when a simple API service for frontend has 500ms response time! How many engineers even know or care how much their cloud bill is?
i have an Air from 2011 or 2012 that is out of storage with just the OS installed. I can't update or install any other software because the most recent update installed on it capped out the storage. Low-end windows laptops (the $150-$300 at walmart type) have this same issue. 32GB of storage and windows takes 80% of the space, and you can no longer fit a windows update on it.

I still have the air with whatever the macos is, but as soon as i have a minute i'm going to try and get linux or BSD on it. I'm still sore at how little use i got out of that machine - and i got it "open box" "scratch and dent", so it was around $500 with tax. I got triple the usage out of a 2009ish eeePC (netbook)
What I find interesting is that design of websites is often 'mobile first' but rarely 'mobile connection first'.
I don't think that's the same thing. There is war and famine happening in the world. You don't see it Bill? Turns out other countries exist. I like some of Bill Hicks stuff, but I think that's a lazy take.

The US is not alone in the South China Sea. Japan sees this as an existential issue, and Australia and the UK will also likely join the battle in addition to other countries against the 9 point line.

India might also become opportunistic and start to resolve its boundary disputes with China.

This also doesn’t account for Xi’s purges of the PLA including its all important rocket force.

>>> as if no country with a strong military had ever had its currency fail...

Has there been a widely accepted currency (true currency) that hasn't had military might behind it? Has there been a dramatic military failure that hasn't been followed by currency decline?

Military, state and currency are all interlinked on a pretty deep level.
My point is to reply to "State your case that bloat is good" with a famous blog stating a case that bloat is good. Bloat makes the company more money by allowing them to develop and ship faster, bloat makes the company more money by being able to offer more features to more customers (including the advertisers and marketers and etc. side of things), and - well, read the article.

I, too, dislike slow websites and web apps, but I don't think they are some mystery - natural selection isn't selecting for idiot developers, market selection is selecting for tickbox features and with first-mover-advantage they are selecting against "fast but not available for another year and has fewer features and cost more to develop".
Hah! Thats awesome, I don’t recall any of the names I used to be honest, its been too many years.

I've never seen companies where developers are rewarded for performance improvement or any kind of improvement. Did an improvement? Nice! Good job! And that's it.
Due to prevalence of native apps in the macOS world, the difference are often stark. I use Things and Bear, and it’s fast, then try to load gmail (dump account, so it’s not in Mail) and it’s so slow. Youtube too. Fastmail, in comparison, loads like it’s on localhost.

You block JavaScript and the amount of sites that is broken is ridiculous, some you would not expect (websites, not fullblown interactive apps).
Could it just be due to lack of hardware video decoding? The Pi3 has x264 HW acceleration and youtube started using other codecs a while ago.
I’ve been a Mac user since 2003 or so and I can confidently say my machines last 6-7 years as daily drivers then sunset over 2-3 years when I get a new computer. I always go tower, laptop, tower, laptop. They have a nice overlap for a few years that serves me well.

Where "users with slow devices" equals "anyone trying to keep hardware running more than a few years", it seems. It's enforced obsolescence.

I've said for a long time, devs should be forced to take a survey of their users' hardware, and then themselves use the slowest common system, say, the 5th-percentile, one day a week. If they don't care about efficiency now, maybe they will when it's sufficiently painful.
That’s a great story. What’s the deal with a cone clutch- does it kick back on the pedal or something?
The last decade of my life has been a speedrun in "less than ideal conditions" for computing. CGNAT, 5mbit dsl, spotty "fixed wireless" and my latest debacle: starlink, although that seems to be getting better slowly; used to drop 15/60 seconds, now it drops more like 4/200 seconds. Constant power issues and lightning strikes - i only have 1 computer that has a working NIC, because evidently tiny power fluctuations are enough to send most chipsets into the graveyard. I had to switch to full fiber between all compute sites on my property, and a wifi backup, because copper is too risky.

Talk about a catch-22 situation. The modern web is useless without adblocking. Especially when you get forever scrolling pages with random ads stuffed in there.
> When the dealership is charging $200/hr to have a kid plug in the car and follow a flowchart, I'll just take a look myself.

Regrets about not becoming more of investing the time to be an intuitive handy man is a very different category from "let's see if there's a video on yt to help me fix that in 5 minutes". My message is definitely not "don't get your hands dirty" but "be practical". Doing the yt/google/chatgpt thing to get an idea is mostly practical.

> If this is the average "expert" count me out.

You disclaimed, no problem — but I did write "build a network of experts you trust". Just calling someone and being annoyed that they are not good (and I agree, most of them are not) is not that. It's going to take time and money, but decidedly less so, because you get into the habit if doing it, you learn, you see red flags, network effects are real (people know people) and relationships on average last long enough. That is my experience, at least, but I have no reason to believe I would be special here.

> Plus, throwing money at a problem isn't near as fun.

That's true, in my case, only for very few problems. Most problems I would rather not solve myself.

I'll admit: All of this is a concession to reality, at least my perception of it. Learning is fun. I would really love to be good at a great many things. It's just increasingly unreasonable to invest the time necessary, because things get more complicated and change more quickly.

Staying good at a few things, learning whatever is most important next, and getting better at throwing money at the rest, will have to do.
Now every time a price increases it's "inflation."
Yes, but that's the slow-boiled frog syndrome. I use my computers for years as well, and whenever I get a new one I think "wow, why didn't I switch sooner, this is so much snappier".

Windows does not “just work”. On my work computer my programs randomly rearrange themselves after lunch, windows always has trouble switching between my audio devices, random slowdowns. Windows is pretty shit these days tbh. It’s pretty much like Linux was 10 years ago.

However, I rarely have issues on Linux anymore, mostly because of something is broken on Linux, I can fix it.

Frankly, I hate that I’m forced to use windows as work. I feel like I need to constantly deal with BS windows annoyances. When I go home and work on Linux it like breathing a sigh of relief. My desktop actually feels fast and efficient.

If vc doesn’t get preferred shares, someone can just turn around and immediately sell the company for $400k and keep 90% of the money so that would seem like a silly thing to complain about
I never got this explanation. In all teams I was so far, it was clear to everyone on what is individuals performance. It is just managers were pretending not to see, as it would involve them making hard decisions/work. My working theory that, in most medium to large companies most management people are not interested in success/financials of company as they are mostly salaried. Actual success of a project is secondary to fraternizing with the right people.

Developers are expensive, so we give them fast connections and fast computers. Then we act shocked when modern software/web requires fast computers.

Unless it's somehow regulated that people test less than ideal conditions it won't happen, yet most people (myself included) don't really want that either.

To make it short and to be agreeable: I think it's been unproductive for Micay to spend time addressing attacks on himself or on GrapheneOS, and I agree that it has tarnished his public reputation.

To express my more complete opinion: I do not think that Micay’s responses are endangering the GrapheneOS project to the extent that users should be concerned about its security. I don't believe he has unrestricted access ("has root") or that his involvement poses any risk to GrapheneOS' users. Instead, I think his participation has been crucial to the technical achievements of this security-focused project. Micay appears to be technically adept. It's his signature to write in complete detail in response to a technical matters. His other signature, though, is marked by tension/escalation that derails the technical conversation. I wish he would moderate the less constructive aspects of his engagement style.

I think this GH conversation summary looks like this:

The community is in need. MLS is shutting down, and they're insisting on a timeline during which the community must coordinate. Micay is offering that the GrapheneOS project has a viable arrangement. (1) He discusses that GrapheneOS Foundation has already invested time on a plan and has already received funding and are willing to share their funding. (2) He also discusses consideration for the quality of data submissions that could benefit from other GrapheneOS projects. (3) He discusses that Mozilla might have legal hurdles in the way of simply handing off the existing data.

Someone objects to using data based on hardware attestation, and Micay addresses the concern with care, and mentions that third-party OSes (not GrapheneOS) could provide data; he directly names Google and Apple, which would significantly cover "all users." That same someone objects that attested data would compete with anonymity, and Micay replies with a strategy that accounts for privacy/anonymization with configurable levels (so as not to throw away unattested data, but still maintain privacy).

Then somebody tells him his grammar is bad a slings an XKCD comic at him in mockery. The grammar was correct, but I understood the way in which the somebody misinterpreted it as "its." The comic jab is silly because Mozilla is literally shutting down the service, due to patent (troll?) hazard, and Micay is offering a solution to work around the known problems such as that.

Finally, both Marvin Weisfeld and Micay have an exchange about technical details relating to implementation. I didn't find either response to be technically complete. Micay diverts the technical conversation and launches an accusation, and I felt it had no place in the discussion. Marvin ended the discussion right there, and I think that ended the opportunity for escalation.
RES fixes this, i think. It's a browser extension that forces everything to stay the way it was when reddit worked fine - before publishers bought it.
