I don't mind a "viral" title for a good article (not those kind of "You won't believe what this woman did to..." or other clearly clickbait titles), but of course, you don't know before clicking if it's a good article, or a clickbait one, indeed.

In this case though, it's a dude posting on his own blog. I'm fine with whatever title he found cool.
This pardon is corrupt. Ross' parents donated to Trump and he pardoned their son as a favour.

Whether or not you think he deserved the prison time, the problem here is how utterly brazen Trump is in accepting bribes.
I keep Messenger though because some people I know from offline life keep using it and won't switch. Same with WhatsApp. These two don't have intrusive algorithms fortunately.

Why does it need to be cached though?

The only case where it might be downloaded more than once is if the user has multiple clients. Not that common and still very little traffic.
That sounds like an application architecture problem, not problem with react or redux-query.
I am hoping it is just the usual ponzi thing.
> Look at every society before the modern state monopoly on violence. Basically none of them were in danger of regressing because of it.

They were too small. But they had their own social orders of equivalent importance, and breaking those would break them apart. There's a reason religion and tradition played bigger role in a distant past, and going against them was severely punished. It's not just out of spite or "us vs. them"; people take threats to stability of their group personally. It's definitely in part a survival mechanism.

> The evolution of the modern state is a result of inter society competition for who can apply the most massed violence against a competing state.

Yes. More specifically, it's the result of growth. It's the same thing as small tribes fighting each other over some small areas of land, except scaled up. Bigger groups have a competitive advantage over smaller groups, but there's a limit to the size of a group beyond which it ends up splitting apart; increasing that limit requires stacking more layers of hierarchy and associated social technologies. "Rule of law" and the legal system in general is one of such technologies, and it looks like it does today, at scales of groups we have today.

A group of dozens can just work on instinct alone. A group of hundreds requires some rules and specialization and designated authority. Scale that 100x, and you need another level of leadership hierarchy just to keep sub-group leaders coordinated and aligned. Scale that 100x further, and you kind of have to get something looking like a modern nation state, as anything else would either break apart or be defeated by another group that is more like a modern nation state.

> We've seen what happens when empires fall apart (Rome for example) and things don't revert to "prehistorical lifestyle of small tribes slaughtering each other for what little scraps the land has to give".

Europe would disagree.

None of those ways are sustainable. Not only because there are good reasons to use those apps, but also because there are times when forcing yourself to work isn't going to work. I mean, if I am sick, tired, and just not feeling like working, I would go out of my way to beat the system I installed.

What has worked for me is: one-sec extension [1]. The extension asks you take a deep breath and confirms if I still want to open the app. What I have realized is I don't want to completely do away with time-sink websites, I only want to moderate my behavior of pressing Cmd-T and opening reddit/youtube/twitter in the middle of work. I have increased the length of the pause to 30 second and I am actively forcing myself to actually take the deep breath. Such a pause is enough to knock enough sense into me and return back to work. I think such kind of gentle nudging is better than being overly harsh on yourself.

I've repeatedly tried to make Puppet work for "small" installations, be it a single dev laptop, our fleet of default base VMs (before containers were a thing), or home use. You couldn't really do anything without community packages, and their update rate was kinda meh. A lot of churn.

Puppet always seemed to me like a scalable enterprise solution, but you either need a team to keep it in check, or just never update.

I'm not specifically recommending Ansible, but it's what I've been using for a couple years, and I would always recommend that for home use over Puppet.

Disclaimer: I last used Puppet in 2017, but for like 7 years extensively before that and everything I mentioned happened several times.

Second disclaimer: By now I think parametrizing everything is a huge mistake - the real worth is editing the config in one place and having it in SCM. if you only parametrize 2 lines out of a 100 line config file and basically copy it over with 2x `sed` - that's fine.

Smart move. With Android support, if user ended up hating Linux, they can still have a fallback option to at least have a "normal" phone (from the aspects of UX usability, battery life and other software optimizations).

There's many more ways to err than to get something right.

My biggest gripe with Garmin is how they started to become a new NOKIA - at least in the smartwatch market.

10 years ago, they had a hand full of different models with clearly distinguished features. And there was one does-it-all model.

Now, they’re releasing 20 different watches a year which are all clearly based on the same hardware - just with different features enabled via software. There’s no top-of-the-line model anymore that has ALL the features.

And while I was able to turn my Fenix 5 Plus into a D2 Delta via a simple firmware patch, they’re now using encrypted firmwares in all newer models. I.e. they’ve wasted lots of development hours on implementing encryption instead of fixing some of the various bugs reported in their forums or implementing some of the feature requests.

And don’t get me started on their nav units. They’re using maps from HERE. And after fixing mapping errors yourself in HERE’s MapCreator, it takes AT LEAST a year until they finally show up on a device. If you’re lucky.

Also, my motorbike unit’s manual explained a feature where it would warn you of upcoming bad weather. However, this feature never materialised and newer manuals don’t mention it anymore.

No. I think it's one of those situations where the word has changed meaning for certain groups of people, like a game of telephone, because dopamine scrolling and doom scrolling are semantically close.

In 2021, Ulbricht's prosecutors and defense agreed that Ulbricht would relinquish any ownership of a newly discovered fund of 50,676 Bitcoin (worth nearly $5.35 billion in 2025) seized from a hacker in November 2021.[78] The Bitcoin had been stolen from Silk Road in 2013 and Ulbricht had been unsuccessful in getting them back. The U.S. government traced and seized the stolen Bitcoin. Ulbricht and the government agreed the fund would be used to pay off Ulbricht's $183 million debt in his criminal case, while the Department of Justice would take custody of the Bitcoin.[79][80]
This is a fascinating article with a good detective story, and juicy details, but the images are very distracting.

They auto-scale to the correct aspect ratio to fill most of the width of the screen. On a mobile phone, sure, that's fine. On a widescreen monitor on a desktop computer, they are monstrously huge and don't fit on the screen.

In the CSS, rustdoc.css has img{max-width: 100%;}, but it also has .content,nav{max-width: 960px;} which is what's contraining the width of the article's text. The images look a lot better on widescreen with img{max-width: 960px;} to match... but then they don't scale correctly on the mobile layout.

So I could bring down eBay by opening a store; selling something that I know (but eBay doesn't) is dangerous / broken / false. If that sale goes through, should eBay be taken down since they operate a marketplace where unsafe products are being sold ? eBay cannot reasonably test every single item that is sold through their platform. Same goes for every second hand marketplace in the world. They need to take some measure to address this, but cannot reduce the risk to 0.

As far as I know, SilkRoad had a whole reputation system in place to allow users to flag untrustworthy sellers; that system was inline or even ahead of what many "legal" marketplace had put in place. A part of why SilkRoad was so successful is precisely because overall that reputation system allowed users to identify trustworthy sellers.

Interesting, it seems that extremely rich americans are discovering what scandinavian countries solve through taxation and effective government.

They used to have it in some form with 'new deal' and 'great society' until ~1970, but now they can't because of the very same reasons that are making them extremely rich.

Plus there's some fetisishation of efficiency of the private sector vs public one and distrust in public institutions, while in some areas I don't think it's warranted, it's just that public insititutions are more transparent than the private sector imo.

It’s sad to see the president of US being ass kissed so much by these guys. I always assumed there’s a little of that but this is another extreme. If this is true, I fear America has become like a third world country with a dictator like head of state where everyone just praises him and get favors in return.
I'm a Haskell bro and I love testing. You misunderstand me, though. All I say is that maybe _some_ of those tests deliver value by just making sure that code even runs, which is otherwise covered by types.

I think the premise is correct and I think you are disagreeing with it.

Yes, the pyramid was set out as a goal in its original incarnation. That was deeply wrong. The shape ought to be emergent and determined by the nature of the app being tested (i went into detail on what should determine that here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42709404)

Some of the most useful tests Ive worked with HAVE had a large GUI tip. The GUI behavior was the most stable surface whose behavior was clearly defined which everybody agreed upon. all the code got tested. GUI tests provided the greatest freedom to refactor, covered the most bugs and provided the most value by far on that project.

GUI tests are not inherently fragile or inherently too slow either. This is just a tendency that is highly context specific, and as the "pyramid" demonstrates - if you build a rule out of a tendency that is context specific it's going to be a shit rule.
The other hard thing is finding out that you now find out personal relationships are hard work. Quality relationships were always hard work, but with social media it was way easier to keep shallow relationships. With social media gone, you find out you need to put in way more effort to keep those valuable relationships going (and find out the hard way which relationships weren't valuable at all).
I’ve actually found using screentime limits on my phone for specific apps (which is essentially self limiting) to be very effective.

With its large user base, I would have expected Java to have figured out all the details and offered users a single command-line tool that automatically builds the project into installers. I had adventures with relatable pain points when figuring out how to distribute Julia's GUI applications.

Another upcoming difficulty is transitioning to distributing applications that run in the sandbox. Windows has MSIX, Linux has Snap and Flatpack, and macOS has DMGs signed with entitlements. Each has its way of configuring and how it is expected to work, and debugging sandboxing issues is no fun.

I made an application bundler specifically for Julia's MSIX, Snap, and DMG applications, which allows the use of the underlying configuration files when configuring the sandbox via a simple recipe system. Unlikely one would change languages, but perhaps some inspiration can be taken from my project:

It sounds neat, but I am uncomfortable with a central CA (Fulcio) and central log (Rekor). And I trust OIDC providers about as far as I can throw them. Granted, the whole point of a central audit log is to make misbehaviour apparent, but it still strikes me as the wrong direction.

I don’t have a useful proposal for a decentralised version, so I’m just kvetching at this point.

Salad is great for diabetics. The problem is everything else:). Like for instance I've discovered that 99% of all rice is extremely bad, even good pasta is bad, potatoes are poison, bread also bad, and the list goes on. Fruits are bad too.

Cooking at home can be managed, and still heavily limiting. Eating out is a nightmare. First of all there are no "diabetes" places in the similar style to "vegan". And eating in a restaurant with at least some diabetes friendly selection of dishes is hard. For example there are may be 4 soup dishes. But 3 of them or even all will have either potatoes or pasta as ingredient (and leaving out said ingredient makes for a very mall meal, because those are often added to compensate). Salad section - the same issue, too often they have sweet syrup added for flavor. Anything Asian has rice or noodles in large quantities (I often wonder what diabetics in Asia eat). Second course dishes like meat or fish also sometimes contain sweet "surprises". All in all it is very hard task to find something, in a big city even.
