TIL American cellphone numbers use an area code that represents the actual location. Do you get a new number if you move and then change to a different provider?

In Germany the cellphone area code is just out of a range your provider has registered and if you move to a different provider, you typically move over your number.
No. Since you're obviously too stupid to understand what I said in three different ways, I'll cut you a little slack.

If VR is to compete with smartphones, it needs at least more screen pixels, and AVP delivers. The multi-user UX is still undecided (hence the device leans so much on “teleporting” capability). But for sales calls, group work, education etc, high fidelity is a requirement.

I used to be extremely left. These days people would describe me as right, some probably easily described as far far far extreme right because I'm exactly like I was in the 90s.

So I guess we must have had an extremely Authoritarian government in the 90s in the US.

That website is all about censorship - seems pretty authoritarian to me.
(Expensive) cars are kind of a symbol of irrational decisions. Plenty of people buy cars they dreamed of even if it will ruin them financially. People buy the car for its look, its brand, freedom they feel. A strong association with an ideology you despise will kinda spoil those positive feelings you have, though.

Here's a popular culture take on the same theme. Jokes and sketch comedy.

"The three Yorkshiremen" monty python sketch. It's actually a sketch that some of the pythons did for another comedy sketch show some years before. As far as I know it's the only one they carried forward.

My parents could recite a 1940s radio comedy sketch about the phonetic alphabet and cockney rhyming slang which would probably make no sense to most people today, they'd carried it with them into the 70s and 80s.

An awful lot of contemporary humour simply fades away and maybe one or two key moment carries on.

Future generations may know Chaplin solely from a clip of modern times in the machine. Or know Lucille Ball treading grapes.

It's not as clear in a team based game, since draft and teamwork both play a large role in the match outcome. Many lower ranked players are often very skilled at micro but fail to macro correctly.

There are streamers that do seasonal Bronze to GM runs, and sometimes viewers will accuse someone of being a smurf because of how well they're playing. But then after the match their profile gets checked and it turns out they're actually playing in their correct rank, and they just got a very lucky draft and overall game.

Finally, even if you're playing vs a GM they might not be playing their main role / heroes, or going the most optimally tryhard builds. Even if someone has the core fundamentals correct, mastering a hero and learning all of their interactions perfectly could take dozens to hundreds of games.

An example from another game: in Brood War there was a time where the most legendary player, Flash, held two of the top 10 spots in the ranked ladder; once for Terran (his main race) and once for Protoss (his second best race). But while his Zerg is also very good, he's not a top 10 in the world player of that race.

This is why I love Hetzner. It has billing alerts. What was so difficult about it that fly had to rebuild their system?

Also, do everything except databases inside kubernetes. Deploy kubernetes across multiple clouds via wireguard. Label your instances properly on each provider. Prefer bare metal instances where available. Migrate your workloads accordingly. Force cloud providers to earn your money. Don’t however have both workloads running at the same time in multiple providers as you will eat insane data costs.
Is this really true? You can no longer skip/bypass linking a cloud account?
Personally, I stopped fighting this particular battle. I've come to the realization that intangibles matter - some of those might be incidental, some pure personal preferences, some result of me being manipulated by marketing.

But separating which is which is not always easy, and I'd rather spend my time on other things. As a result I take "intangibles" as a rational factor in buying decisions even if the intangibles themselves might not necessarily be rational.

Only when those types actually could be used by runtimes, to catch up the the various JVM and CLR implementations.

There is no more juice left to squeeze in JavaScript, as it stands, beyond heroic efforts.

I rather stay with JVM and CLR languages, and only reach out to the node ecosystem, when SaaS products leave me no choice in regards to SDK support.

If Typescript is to never leave the role of being a linter, and a down version translator, eventually we have to ask ourselves when is Typescript done, instead of being an intellectual exercise for the sake of it.

I think the cap (if they had any) would probably reflect the amount they stand to lose if their app goes down. If your app brings in $1000/h, you don’t necessarily care about spending that amount on servers. When your costs rise to $10k/hour, you might want to go with the nuclear option.

Of course it’s nicer if you can be certain that your provider is going to refund you the excess, but I feel like it’s hard to count on it. Or at least, harder than having explicit rules, which you just can’t really do for those sitations that are sensitive to fraud.

Honestly, if I did set a cap I’d be very much aware of the fact my app could suddenly die in a situation where my deploy token were stolen (but it wouldn’t matter for me, since it’s a hobby project, I care about controlling costs, not uptime).
Annoyingly, we've been reading various versions of this article for around twenty years, yet the problems it discusses still exist. Unsure why, and what the solution is.

No, you register a car in order to drive it on public roads in a given country.

Some purchased cars are never registered (track use, private export etc.), or defer the registration (no reason to pay road tax if you're not driving it yet).

People being given preferential hiring because of their race or sex is inherently racist and sexist. He's perfectly justified to be upset over widespread racism in the tech industry, especially when it is also leading to noticable drops in software development quality.

My first paired AirTag was somehow removed from my findNow list when I paired my phone with my MacBook (I suspect it had something to do with encryption).

I went back to my Apple Store and explained the problem. After demonstrating that a reset didn’t fix the problem, they gave me a new AirTag and kept the old one.

When I paired the new AirTag, the old one suddenly reappeared in my list! It spent some three weeks at the Apple Store, then about two weeks in Poland and now it’s been in a Dutch warehouse for about three months - last seen 17 hours ago.

I don’t know why it’s spending so much time in a Dutch warehouse - perhaps it’s Apples junkyard in Europe.

> Does JPEG-XL really include animation support?

Yes, it does. It's a limited sort of animation like GIFs were; JPEG XL is not derived from video codecs like WebP, AVIF, and HEIF are, where those formats include "animation" by really breaking out of being a subset and just being the regular intraframe video codec.

Canon doesn't do it better. I tried the R5 mode a few times when it came out and it's complete garbage. More like something an intern did as a proof of concept than an actual well implemented feature. The stitching could be done a lot better, but it isn't. Purely a marketing gimmick.

The new R5 Mk II AI upscale is the same, a gimmick that got way to much attention by the press solely for using the word AI.

Canon does use AI features in their R5 AF tracking, and it's really impressive. But Canon calls those features deep learning or other more specific terms.

It was really funny to me last time I used Windows 11 – I was trying to find the devices system utility which is there from XP version, allowing you to see the connected peripherals, check their drivers, enable/disable them etc.

I spent good 15 minutes clicking on every button in this new settings app, until at the very bottom of it, the "About" section of the settings gives a faint blue link to open "devices".

What is this "About" even about? Does anyone know the logic behind this section's naming and why they put the link to devices dialog exactly there? MS insiders? Would be very interesting to know ;)
Thanks for the detailed reply.

I guess if it a device is transcribing audio data from a buffer it’s not the same as a recording. Still I remember Apple was using some humans to review recordings:

I think the GP's point was that all modern languages (and some of the older ones) have this problem - in fact, JS is infamous for it. Therefore, I don't think it's really a pro or a con on its own - only in the context of your business and problem.

Both convex and Instant let you build apps quickly without worrying about the backend. Where Instant differs, is that queries and transactions can run on the client: you get optimistic updates and offline mode by default. On the other hand, convex lets you define queries as functions that can run on the edge. I haven't used convex deeply, but this is my understanding.
Hopefully Asahi Linux can be run on the thing, so it can be useful outside of Apple's walled garden too. :)

What sort of fancy configs do you have going on? What do you need to change in the network settings? Why aren't you using DHCP options? You need a static Windows 10/11 IP address?

I just don't get why you need to fuck with the networking on a device that is almost 100% getting DHCP. If you feel the need to mess with the network settings in Windows, you're kind of doing it wrong.

If you're going to have the l33t M$ sucks attitude, learn to set up your network properly and it's not an issue.

Sure, but it didn't stop them during the "great resignation" from moving around. Actions speak louder than words.

Statistically speaking, people are a lot more hesitant to switch jobs right now. That definitely points to legitimate fears (regardless of the objective economic outlook).
No one really cares enough about hobby developers as a customer segment to rebuild the billing infrastructure to make this possible. Scalable billing at huge scale is solved at the cost of latency and being "eventually correct" (unless it has changed). To add a price cap feature, eventually correct isn't enough and then you ask yourself who would actually use it and you have to scroll really far down your list of biggest customers until you get to someone who wants it.
I have the Airpods Pro 2nd Gen, and after 2 years they are as good as useless. Both Noise control and Spatial sound are dead. There is a buzzing there. The battery is surprisingly good, though. They could still last 2/2.5 hours on a charge. But I don't think I'll be buying Apple pods again (even though when they functioned, they were actually pretty decent).
And a CDN could want to do it, because you can degrade a png in lossy ways from the original that make it compress much better, even though the compression is lossless.

I didn’t say they were guaranteed to be 1:1, but every registration is an actual sale. The point is the number of sales is going to be grater than or equal to the number of registrations. So this isn’t some gameable metric like number of cars manufactured.

It’s possible there is some underlying bias here, but there’s no reason to assume it favors one company over the other enough to offset a 300 car difference in a single month especially as the total numbers just aren’t that high.
Even with LUKSv1 there are seven key slots. On creation generally the first will be a keyboard-entered pass-phrase, then one might add a key-file, and then add the hardware token as another.

With LUKSv2 the seven slot limit doesn't apply.

You have the cause and effect backwards. German homes are electric heated at a rate of around 5%[1], French at around 30%[2] (page 7).

As electricity prices are lowered (e.g. by state investment in nuclear) various things that use fossil fuels will shift over to electric.

Many original HTML elements suck.

Best known are checkboxes that can't be styled. But they're still needed, so they're hidden and overlaid with pseudo elements. Now you already have the box, :before, :after and the label and :checked special style. Oops. Better also load a whole font to even render the check mark consistently.

The select and option elements are also terrible. So terrible in fact that iOS breaks its own guidelines and instead shows a new page with all options listed. Example: Language selection.
Then there's the developer experience. Can JavaScript stop a selection? Can I hook up an element handler for change? And so on.

I strive to use the "correct" elements, but they do have serious shortcomings.
> It's actually amazing how old Windows is, and how many vestigial bits of ancient GUI versions are still a part of the OS.

This popped today: https://pr0gramm.com/top/6301382

This is all modern examples but there are still bits hidden deeply within system that come from 9x times. I remember when MS published interface guidelines with Vista but the document was quickly forgotten and picture above shows all that mess. Personally, I remember almost all Ribbon UI changes and Windows Live brand "refreshes".

There were community attempts to polish interface initiated by Long Zheng, an user experience entrepreneur from Melbourne : Aero and Win7 Taskforce where you could submit all these inconsistencies and provide mockups (if you were able to do so). I'm pretty sure there were people from MS who took this unique feedback into consideration and some suggestions were implemented but with Windows 8 and 10 all these efforts become meaningless.
My problem is that it does this for Server versions as well.

A company isn't liable if their customer gets themselves hacked because they decided to not use any of the many MFA options available to them and neither is a company liable if the customer set a billing limit rule that they executed correctly.

Companies can simply not be trusted to tell the difference between a foot-gun and a..whatever a good kind of gun would be...

Huh. Where I am, janitor is used exclusively for more of an overall maintenance person of the entire building. And in such scenarios, due to rental laws, the janitor cannot enter an apartment without prior notice... unless of course it is an emergency.

(An emergency has to be a real emergency, not "it's urgent to the landlord")

So why I find this weird is, did the thief just leave a stolen phone, charged, in their apartment laying around for anyone to see? And if so, how would the janitor even see the lockscreen, wouldn't they have to hit the power button to see it (I presume the screen is off by default?). And why was the janitor even in the apartment? And presumably without the thief in their apartment?

And worse, why would the janitor effectively steal a phone from a tenant, and go outside and sell it to you for $100, just because there was a message on the lockscreen. How did the janitor know you didn't somehow hack the owner's phone, and you were the thief?

NOTE: I'm sure the story is true, but I'm curious if it's just a stupid thief, or.. what.

Whatever I'm not understanding, good job on getting your phone back.
