My favourite less known app: https://www.inyourface.app/ - This amazing app throws up a fullscreen modal dialog with a countdown to your next calendar meeting and has a button to click to open the Google Meet, etc. I set mine to countdown 1 minute before it starts. I'm almost always on-time for meetings now. It's also included in SetApp.

SetApp - Mentioning now because I mention below ones included in SetApp, it's a monthly all-you-can-eat subscription to a few hundred mac apps. It's an alternative to purchasing them separately. It may well work out cheaper in the long run to just buy them but it's a useful option.

Adjust third-party Monitor Brightness - Lunar.app for a standalone tool with the most features (can automate and sync the brightness adjustments with time of day, your laptop monitor, etc). But basic control with the keyboard buttons is possible also from BetterDisplay. DisplayBuddy is another tool in this space. They have varying features and pricepoints.

BetterDisplay - Enables HiDPI support (e.g. "more space", "more text", etc) on third party displays - makes text size bigger for people that prefer it on 1440p/Ultrawide QHD displays nicer for many and apparently much nicer for 4K displays for most people though I've not used a 4K.

Multitouch - My current favourite of the various tools that both let you snap windows to the left/right half (or third, etc) PLUS let's you assign three finger click on your touchpad to middle click for opening tabs in Chome. There are a bunch of others apps in these spaces but this is my current favourite in terms of the exact features I need, in 1 app, with a good price point. See also BetterTouchTool (also in SetApp), Rectangle)

iTerm2 - Mostly I love Terminal.app, except, when screen sharing in chrome it won't share multiple tabs for some reason, plus, it's the only terminal emulator on any platform that supports tmux integration mode so you can open multiple screens on a remote SSH server that appear as physical tabs or windows locally.

Secretive - Creates SSH keys in the secure enclave that cannot be exfiltrated by Malware, optionally it can either support "No Auth" or require TouchID/Password for each use. I have one of each style, for differing security levels of hosts.

yubikey-agent - Automates using your YubiKey as an SSH agent and makes it work every time you plug/replug.

Karabiner Elements - one of a few different ways to make home/end on third-party keyboards work on macOS.

More commonly known ones: iStat Menus (also in SetApp)

Yeah but on the other hand, what is the likelihood that the 8 year old was just being, in the great words of parents all over, "a little shit"?

These sort of abstract truisms are things I believe in, but there's so much value in just not being annoying to people around you. So many arguments short circuited by having a "default" level of respect for the person on the other side.

Like most mac power user tools there are a few versions of most. I'm currently preferring Multitouch.app as it combines:
- Letting me assign 3-finger click to middle-click for opening tabs in chrome (in Safari you can use force touch but I never really liked it, and Chrome doesn't seem to have it)
- Window snapping to half/half, third, etc.. either by dragging to the edge or with keyboard shortcuts. I use keyboard shortcuts for both window splits and thirds on my 34" Ultrawide.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but here goes: what attention does she deserve? I always wonder this with collectors. They simply gather things that were created through the ingenuity and know-how of others. This doesn't strike me as any more remarkable than the Funko Pop collector. Of course, I am NOT saying her hobby should be derided. More power to her. But it certainly doesn't strike me as something praiseworthy.
Title II of HIPAA should just be extended to apply to all data about all people, so it doesn't matter whether it's ackshually health data or not. Then, all the lawyers arguing about who's a "covered entity" and who isn't, what's "protected health information" and what isn't, can go get bent.

The data protection rules provided by HIPAA are actually pretty good, especially for a privacy-hostile country like the USA. I'd love see something like HIPAA act as the model for a generic (non-healthcare) data privacy protection law, if Congress could get their shit together and propose it.
I feel like that's the obvious solution at this point, but there's still so much waffling going on. And half the political parties on Earth still aren't even interested. If we could just get to work building like our lives depended on it (because they do), I would actually have some hope for the future.

I do want to stress that we shouldn't be thinking about DAC until we've carpeted the world's deserts with solar, and it's going to be a long fight to make that a possibility. The economy still hasn't kicked its oil addiction, and it's starting to look really pale and disheveled...
I totally disagree with this. You might as well argue that we shouldn't use code-completion of any kind because you might accidentally pick the wrong dependency or import. Or perhaps we shouldn't use any third-party libraries at all because you can use them to write reasonable-looking but incorrect code? Heck, why even bother using a programming language at all since we don't "own" how it's interpreted or compiled? Ultimately I agree that using third-party tools saves time at the cost of potentially introducing some types of bugs. (Note that said tools may also help you avoid other types of bugs!) But it's clearly a tradeoff (and one where we've collectively disagreed with you the vast, vast majority of the time) and boiling that down to AI=bad misses the forest for the trees.

I don't think it's valid to lay the blame for the failure of string theory on the media. There are plenty of academics who pushed string theory for years and years and years. The media and public got tired of hearing about it far before they got tired of researching it.
That's an alright takeaway: the team made a rookie mistake and then they made a PR mistake by oversharing.

Otherwise, I think this comment thread is a classic example why company engineering blogs choose to be boring. Better ten articles that have some useful information, than a single article that allows the commentariat to pile on and ruin your reputation.

As far as I understand, she is not fighting a legal battle to outlaw the photograph. An organisation of intellectuals, such as the IEEE, can simply honour a request.

The diversity and inclusion argument: this tradition bears some similarity to locker room nudes, which don’t encourage equal participation between genders. The flipped scenario of posting a cropped Hasselhoff nude is not symmetrical. It sexualises the basic conversation about image algorithms, which is somewhat (but not entirely) besides the point. It made better sense when it was a closed group of mostly men.
Of course your tests shouldn't be sensitive to external state. Why would other tests running affect your test?
As much as I like the idea this was nothing but a money grab by MTA. So what happens to the cars of rich Manhattanites? They can run their cars up and down park ave freely once the congestion pricing is in effect? Why do I have to pay so they can fund their subway system?

Terraforming Mars isn't completely impossible. It's well within the realm of possibility... given about 10,000 years of continuous effort.
A library need not be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to be found.

The point of the title is to say that libtree makes it easy to find the paths from an executable to all its direct and indirect dependencies, one of the uses of which is to help figure out what's up with missing dependencies.

In reality if you're using a packaging system then you likely won't have missing dependencies, so you'd use libtree for other reasons.

China started decoupling first by blocking out most foreign companies from their domestic market.

Besides automobiles, most companies are still blocked from entering China’s domestic market.

Companies still need domestic partners.

Even when there aren’t any formal tech transfer agreements, they’ll just steal the technology instead.
according to TFA, they care:

“We found zero-day, zero-click vulnerabilities, transferred all the information to Apple, and did a useful job,” Dmitry Galov, head of the Russian research center at Kaspersky Lab, told Russian news outlet RTVI. “Essentially, we reported a vulnerability to them, for which they must pay a bug bounty.”

Galov even proposed that Kaspersky donate the bounty to charity, but Apple rejected this, citing internal policies without explanation. It’s not uncommon for research firms to donate bounty payments from large companies to charity. Some perceive it as an extension of their ethical obligation, but it undeniably contributes to a positive reputation within the security community.

“Considering how much information we provided them and how proactively we did it, it is unclear why they made such a decision.”

It's so weird how this article keeps talking about H5N1 'happening' in 2009. The disease took off in Asia 6 years earlier (as the CDC acknowledges up front [1]) and imho part of the reason for its limited ultimate impact was that many countries took it seriously and (formally or voluntarily) instituted public health measures like masking and strategic isolation to limit transmission [2]. Disease outbreaks that might threaten the US are nowadays greeted with either panciky demands for total isolation (eg the Ebole outbreak 10 years ago) or aggressively indifferent. I found out about the WHO report [3] on the first known H5N2 human death (which described the risk to the public as 'low') because of an organized effort to launch a viral campaign on Twitter; proponents were insisting that this was the latest effort to steal an election or otherwise sap precious American bodily fluids, and spent the whole day trying to make 'DO NOT COMPLY' trend.

ok. If we know that a species (1) is sexual, and (2) cannot interbreed with an individual of a superficially similar species, then it IS sufficient to say we have two species there. I think I have all the qualifiers :)

Incidentally, today on Facebook someone made the risible claim that since our DNA is 98% the same as a chimp, WE are "98% the same as a chimp."

I pointed out that by that standard, we're also 60% the same as a banana.
Luke KC Leighton, Samba Developer and LibreSOC Developer in Crisis with Red Semi
Disclaimer: I do not know lkcl personally. I have interacted with him on Twitter, EOMA68 mailing lists, and e-mail, but not in person.

I had not kept up with his recent NLNet grants or research with RED Semi, but the content of his mailing lists shows a disturbing conflict. At some point (or perhaps even currently), lkcl was living in a van, became involuntarily committed, and even consulted an attorney in the event that he passes away. I am not a crisis counselor, but anyone who is familiar with autism and FOSS might be interested. It shouldn't ever get to this level of desperation.
I also am not privy to the events between the IP of the company and the "open-sourceness of it. It could be that the company decided to work on a different RISC-V processor, and did run out of money, but knowing lkcl's committment to free software, it is a tricky balance protecting software development before it is released and meeting the needs of the organization. That said, there is definitely a better way.
It’s a statistic, not an absolute, obviously 4 is probably the minimum. It’s a rule of thumb and there to say “2 or 3 probably isn’t enough, it takes at least 4 AND government oversight” otherwise, uh, capitalism finds a way [to cheat]
Ah, but it’s not a characteristic of SQLAlchemy tho. It’s how Python evaluates statements. Both Peewee and the Django ORM work on the same principle with default values.

The intent is to pass a callable, not to call a function and populate an argument with what it returns.
Depending on your viewpoint, ORM are by nature a mistake.

The time people spend learning the quirks of an ORM is much better put into learning SQL.
When I talk Passkeys, I definitely mean hardware by default, which is how most websites position it: it's normally described as "set up a passkey for this device" and in practice the vast majority of people using them will be using a fingerprint reader in a laptop or on their phone, because most people don't set up password managers with passkeys.

To me, using a software for passkeys is a hack only power users will do, and yes, I see it as a bad idea.

Right now I believe Yubikeys can do 25 passkeys, which is a pretty low limit, but it offers enough to protect your most important accounts, and right now I doubt many people have more than 25 sites they use that support passkeys (of course, hopefully that goes up quickly).
Neither are the drawings my young children make. But I'm going to praise them for it anyway, and I'm going to sincerely mean it when I tell them I love it.

I think it's a good exercise in humanity to find joy in the joy of others, and validating their joy is even better, even if it's not fruitful or even useful.
What about "Visual <something>"? Since, you know, it's visual.

This idea sounds promising. Who knows... you might even get one of the tech giants interested! Some of them have a lot of business customers that could use something like this.
i'm not a big openAI fan and even I think the title is crummy.

I think it should be "How we used chatGPT to make a 10k mistake." -- at least then it's honest about the party at fault, that being the startup that didn't vet generative code.

Relatedly i've been throwing AIs at the problem of ordering mods and dependencies for game engines; it's pretty astonishing the error rates you see involving medium-sized text lists.

A good experiment: take a 100 line text file of whatever, ask an AI to sort the lines by some criteria and output a text file, you'll get files back with less than 100 lines routinely.

These kind of things really limit my faith in those systems to work without a heavily leashed supervisor along side.
Tell me one industry that couldn’t be chopped up into 4 or more corporations? I think you will be hard pressed to come up with one.
> Nuclear power works too

> What I've found is that the event driven architecture did tend to lead to less abstractions and more leaked internal details. This isn't fundamental (you can treat events like an API)

I'd put it the other way: event driven architecture makes it safer to expose more internal details for longer, and lets you push back the point where you really need to fully decouple your API. I see that as an advantage; an abstract API is a means not an end.

> Another problem with distributed systems with persistent queues passing events is that if the consumer falls behind you start developing a lag.

Isn't that what you want? Whatever your architecture, fundamentally when you can't keep up either you queue or you start dropping some inputs.

> If you have a request/response system you can simulate events over that.

How? I mean you can implement your own eventing layer on top of a request/response system, but that's going to give you all the problems of both.

> If we look at things like consensus protocols or distributed/persistent queues then obviously we would need some underlying resources (e.g. you might need a database behind your request/response model).

Huh?

> Don't know if others have a similar experience but when one system is mandated people will invent workarounds that end up looking like the other paradigm, which makes things worse.

I agree that building a request/response system on top of an event sourcing system gives you something worse than using a native request/response system. But that's not a good reason to abandon the mandate, because building a true event-sourcing system has real advantages, and most of those advantages disappear once you start mixing the two. What you do need is full buyin and support at every level rather than a mandate imposed on people who don't want to follow it, but that's true for every development choice.
Using FUSE without root on Linux (2022)
Proteins can be synthesized from sugar as a carbon source. We know this because there are bacteria that can survive and reproduce with no nutrients in their environment other than glucose.

In fact you don’t even need sugar. Carbon dioxide and water alone are sufficient. Plants produce their entire biomass using nothing but carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and trace elements from soil.

Amino acids and proteins don’t occur without life. Living creatures have the ability to synthesize all amino acids and proteins from simpler compounds.
The AI picture with a fork through the dads arm really sells legitimacy.

Summary:

The Washington Post is undergoing a period of turmoil and change. Executive editor Sally Buzbee recently resigned after three years, which was linked to new CEO and publisher Will Lewis' decision to reorganize the newsroom and hire his former colleagues for high-ranking roles. Lewis defended his actions by stating that the newspaper is facing financial troubles, including losing large amounts of money and a decline in readership. There are also allegations that Lewis interfered with editorial decisions to avoid negative coverage of himself. The newspaper's owner, Jeff Bezos, has chosen to side with Lewis, which has led to concerns about the future of the Washington Post and its journalistic integrity.
