Honestly, if I didn't have worry about paying "the rent" (or if those jobs paid enough to "pay my rent") I love to do those jobs. Maybe not full-time but I wouldn't mind occasionally doing them. In the utopic society you speak of, I'd be willing to share the responsibility of those jobs.
Theoretically, those kinds of images lack the necessary detail to qualify as biometric data. If they somehow do, then the whole category becomes invalid for that purpose.

I personally oppose all forms of biometrics for security, as it can neither be invalidated, nor is it safe from physical coercion. I also oppose biometric use for "tracking attention" because it's none of anybody's business but mine.
This just seems like it's co-opting the url into a "search". Just have a normal search page where users can type in what they want if they want fuzzy matching. Or have the 404 page contain a search page. I don't think using the url as a "fuzzy search" is the right application.

Not sure how to say this, but I've been developing code since 1999. Every company I've worked at everyone is super engaged until recently.

> “Vikingfjord” and “Smalahove” aren’t cities

However, "Smalahove" is placed more or less exactly on the Norwegian town of Voss, which - among other things - is known (in Norway at least) for the dish "Smalahove", seared and boiled sheeps head.

Maybe, but I think the minimum code standards are in general too low.

e.g. I bought a house 2 years ago where they'd replaced all the windows with double pane windows prior to selling. I'd have happily paid the marginal difference to get top-end windows, but now that I've got all new code-compliant windows, it doesn't make sense for me to upgrade them again for at least another decade.
I'd definitely cache+throttle that if possible. Cache the 404 response, and if using a shared dB make a custom user/resource group/workload queue and put this service at a lower priority

Nobody decided that Russia is an enemy. Ukraine decided it wants to be in a different club - and Russia has no right to stop them from going. Nobody in Ukraine wanted to attack Russia in any way, but Russia needs Ukraine for its twisted goals.

The other club is not an inherent enemy of Russia - it was an ally all up until the 2022 invasion. The friendship even remained through the 2014 invasion, though strained, but did remain in place. Russia could've kept selling natural gas, EU could've been a happy buyer, and Ukraine could've been an EU member - nothing bad for Russia or Russians about that. It's bad for Putin's imperialism though.

BTW it's funny to talk about neonazis without mentioning the actual neonazis, Russian nationalists and white supremacists who came to fight in Ukraine in 2014 to support the imperial dreams of Putin.

> I am surprised that more websites do not implement it

Maybe because it is not a good idea. Masking errors is harmful. The information "what you're looking for is not there" is very important, because it lets users identify that something is wrong. Smart redirection can be outright dangerous: what if I am buying a medication, and the smart website silently replaces the correct drug with something similar but wrong? Not to mention the pollution of the indexes of search engines with all the permutations of the same thing they may discover. Lastly, the U in URL stands for unique; the web is designed around unique locators and this rule shouldn't be broken without a very good reason.

Show the user (and the crawlers) a 404, and suggest your corrected URL in the content of.the 404, and let the user know that it's a guess, so they make an informed choice about the situation.
ah, I'll ask Bob to set it up for me!

The purpose of using Microsoft products in an office environment is so that your office can be run with as much personal computer enhancement as you originally realized when you first effectively replaced the traditional office machines or more-labor-intensive tasks with software-powered substitutes.

Which all occurred way before any of the things like "single-sign-on" got popular among those who didn't seem to know any better. The second this appeared it was easily recognized as one of the many consumer/entertainment features that must be disabled across every bit of any serious corporate network.

Also best disabled on any home computer before it is allowed to touch the internet.

There was no forthcoming mitigation, all Microsoft leadership could do was throw up their hands, after all there were unsurmountable reasons why such a threat could not be overcome.

What i wonder about with roll your own, is the more you roll your own, the more you can build a single system around a single db with a coherent schema for the entire/most of the business.
I’m not sure what the popular use case is for multiple connections to one multiplexer. But, two (niche seeming) ones could be: if you have a desktop, you want to be able to SSH to it and use it locally at the same time. Or, if you have two people ssh-ing to one system, and letting them share a terminal might be nice (although in that case it would really be nice to give them independent cursors, which starts to become an involved project).
Space Alert is probably the most highly regarded among board game aficionados, but not the most popular. It's complex and stressful, so not everyone's cup of tea.

The most popular real-time board games are probably Set and Bananagrams.

All three of these games are great, I'd recommend any of them that look appealing to you and that you think you can convince people to play.
When I was paying attention during the 90s and 2000s I remember this being the hype in magazines / on the web for pretty much EVERY upcoming console. Namely that it was so outrageously powerful that it might be considered a supercomputer in its own right. Needless to say, I was hyped up and obsessing about them myself.
Spain is totally wrong:

- What is marked as "Andorra" should be "Catalonia", but should not be marked since it's not a country. Andorra is a city and a city-state, which should only be where it's marked as Andorra la Vella.

- What is marked as Catalonia is not even a real area, it's kindof Basque Country but shaped differently.

- All the cities are wrong, basically.

I guess it wanted to piss both independentists and non-independentists, since it's setting the two areas as different countries, BUT setting them wrong.

> don't address the core issue that solar and wind energies are intermittent

I was under the impression that that problem is easier solvable than making nuclear cost effective and making it scale in a safe way. For decades nuclear power deployment stagnates, while renewable technology is rapidly expanding and getting cheaper by the day, with more storage options. Nuclear power already has difficulty keeping the current level of electricity production, while increasingly outdated and aging nuclear powerplants need to be replaced.

> rising the electricity prices happened

The state rescued the French nuclear industry from bankruptcy, it's now a full government owned monopolistic electricity energy landscape. If the electricity price would be high enough to pay for the costs of the nuclear landscape, that would not have happened. Why were companies like Areva such a commercial failure?

Agreed, when I have done a mass migration of old format urls I started with 302s to ensure that things worked then moved to 301s. I actually wrote a script that would capture and collect all urls that led to a 404 (just in case I missed an old format link).

301s also serve to inform search engines that your URL should be different and they update their index accordingly. My transition went very smoothly but it took prep work on my part to understand that 404s were inevitable and that I needed a plan to migrate that traffic.
anyone in a position to do that is in position to torture you the old fashioned way.

It might be your bias, or even mine, but in my opinion, what you and I are saying are pretty much the same...

There is not much actual difference between "I heard here and there that some exotic glorified home tablet thingy is running it" and
"There are multiple devices that have shipped with Fuchsia on it in the home ecosystem over the last 5 years".

Would love to hear where it was actually used, searching for it, I really only found a handful of examples.

I was an active Flutter community member and it was driving me crazy how people would say "Flutter is great because Fuchsia also uses Flutter", and all I thought "show me one person who is using Fuchsia at this whole conference / meetup".
IceburgCRM – AI CRM – Django or Laravel
I create a CRM in Django CRM converting it from my popular Laravel CRM project. The default CRM mirrors SugarCRM/Suite structure. It also has some new features like unlimited relationships between modules.
The cool feature is it is also an AI powered CRM that lets you create a CRM by describing it.

pip install iceburgcrm https://github.com/iceburgcrm/iceburgcrmpython

This is my first Django project. I tried to reuse as much code as possible so the application mirrors a Laravel application using orator, Django Breeze.

I would love any feedback and suggestions for best practices.

Description Iceburg CRM is a metadata driven CRM with AI abilities that allows you to quickly prototype any CRM. The default CRM is based on a typical business CRM but the flexibility of dynamic modules, fields, subpanels allows prototyping of any number of different tyes of CRMs.

Features [Unlimited Relationships between any number modules without common fields]

[Metadata creations of modules, fields, relationships, subpanels, datalets, seeding]

[Ability to Import/Export in 6 different formats (XLSX, CSV, TSV, ODS, XLS, HTML]

[25 different input types, Laravel field validation, Maska field masking]

[26 themes with light and dark themes available]

[Module based Role permissions (read, write, import, export)]

[Calendar, Audit logs, Vue3 Charts, Convertable modules, Related Fields (related to another module)]

Created With Vue 3 for the frontend

Django for the backend

Django Breeze for routing

Orator ORM

Tailwinds with the DaisyUI plugin

Inertia for routing

Heroicons

Well said. That's the idea I was trying to convey.

That assumption does not hold for a sizable chunk of Meta's 3.98B-strong userbase. The list of counties that switched off 2G is surprisingly short.
SSH agent extensions are really powerful.

I'm maintaining a crate for writing own agents (and clients) and just recently added an example of providing decryption over extensions [0] which, coupled with the other examples, allows using SSH agent as a proxy between OpenPGP Card devices (eg Yubikeys) and OpenPGP encrypted data.

Lots of people without degrees in data science (or statistics, or even computer science) in supervisory positions. Silly interview questions like “define multivariate” or “write python code to find factors” or “write SQL code to join tables”

These are all signs of an immature data science function- which predicts working on ill posed problems and a problematic business justification. If the people already there are mediocre it’s not a great place to join. A strong sign of that is if the interviewers don’t know enough to construct thoughtful questions about real, non trivial, issues from their work. There are too many people in data science who, sadly, are at this level.

While I too miss exotic hardware (N64 being my all-time favorite), ultimately what people want to play is great games and the hardware is just a means to an end.

The bigger issue with current consoles imo, specifically the PS5 and XB, is their input homogenization and stagnation. Consoles have historically been forward-looking via their controllers to enable new ways to play games:

[NOT including optional accessories, only out of the box abilities]

- N64: Analog controls, 4 controller ports, controller expansion ports

- PS1: Dual analog controls

- PS2: Pressure-sensitive buttons, built-in rumble

- Dreamcast: ...

- Xbox: ...

- Gamecube: ...

- Wii: Motion controls

- PS3: ...

- Wii U: Gamepad screen

- 360: ...

- PS4: [Correction!] Touchpad

- Switch: Detachable and sharable controllers

- XB1: Kinnect

- PS5: ...

- XB1X: ...

I'm definitely not implying that every new input type was successful (See Wii U, kinnect), but consoles up until about PS3/360 had something new to offer regarding ways to experience games. This has all but stopped, with Nintendo being the only one to consistently introduce new ways to play that cannot easily be replicated on a PC. Plugging a PS5/Xbox controller into a PC yields the same or better experience as buying a dedicated console these days, so why buy the console at all?
