These shutdown splashes are one reason why I enjoy working with AT motherboards, those with the old P8 + P9 power connector ("red to red and it's dead").

There's some charm and nostalgia in the computer only having two states - on and off. No standby power, no S1-S4 states, no wake-on-LAN, no management engine, etc. Press the power button - hopefully a chunky rocker switch - and the system is off (minus the RTC battery).

I have an XP machine running on such a motherboard and it too supports the "safe to shutdown" splash. Hibernate also works, so if I really want to, I can put it to "sleep" with no power at all.

> I owned a Kobo circa 2013 and it was awful.

I got my Kindle around that time, even though I had actively looked for alternatives. Nothing seemed to compare then.

But I'm ready to believe that now in 2025, Kobo caught up? I read many comments here praising Kobo.
For every one person "complaining" there are 999 of us quiet ones out here that use and love your product hours out of every day . I hope devs at firefox can cut through gruff articles with click baity titles and extract nuggets of usefulness from them though.
The nice thing about software is you don’t need the benefit of the doubt. There is no doubt. It either runs or doesn’t. Your website is either hacked or isn’t.
They're not solving it well in many cases; so-called "portable apps" are a great thing.

(If you don't believe me, consider why exactly Docker got so popular.)

In a way, it's ironic that you need package managers to keep track of software on Linux, compared to Windows, which used to let you get away with the assumption that everything that makes a program lives in a single folder tree; half the software was effectively portable by default.

Where's the irony, you ask? On Windows, you could almost say that an application install is equivalent to its folder. And a folder is a type of file. And per Unix philosophy, everything is supposed to be a file!
The issue I have is the wording.

The problem really comes down to the fact that windows couldn't actually power off the computer like it can today.

I think the message should have said: "Windows shutdown complete. Please power off the computer."

This more clearly implies that not only is it safe to turn off your computer, it's recommended you do so.

Musk will see this as working as intended.

There’s a segment in one of his many Starship interviews with Tim Dodd the Everyday Astronaut, where he talks about simplifying the machine. He says you’ve got to cut and cut and cut some more until it’s radically simple. His rule of thumb is that if you’re not adding back 10% of the stuff you got rid of, you didn’t get rid of enough in the first place.

This might be fine for greenfield engineering projects, where there are no “Chesterton’s fences”, where there are not yet any other people or things depending on success, but it’s wholly inadequate for people problems or brownfield systems and processes. The fact Musk doesn’t understand this just suggests ignorance, and suggests that it’s not an idea he really understands at its core. To understand an idea truly, means to understand when it applies and when it doesn’t, and why.
Understanding texas - it's not political, they just worship money. So if you can make money making solar / wind farms nobody will stop you, and that's why texas has a ton of solar / wind farms. If you can make money running a bitcoin farm and then get paid money to turn it off during peak hours, nobody will stop you. If you can invent a power billing company that is market based so customers save money when rates are low but suddenly have an insane energy bill when ERCOT breaks down nobody will stop you. There is no moral code stopping green energy, it's just pure free market vampire capitalism.

This article has reduced it too far. Yes, the game has gotten optimized... for the moment. However a few years ago the complaint was that it was only about 3s. Now it's about 3s... and defense... and floor spread... and layups... and small ball... and big men who can shoot the three... and rim protectors... and it goes on and on. There's no one thing and the number of combinations of tactics, players, and circumstances make it pretty dynamic.

If there's any problem with basketball right now it's that Adam Silver is trying too many radical things and leaving history behind in uncomfortable ways. I mean, he's talking about going to 10 minute quarters! That will invalidate basically every record ever. I could go on and on, but the NBA game itself is not broken.

I am wondering if there is a risk, as it is open source, that a company with bigger marketing spend starts offering timefold in the cloud, kind like AWS with Elasticsearch? Or is there a big enough moat with the models on your cloud platform to prevent this situation?
What does it actually mean to "call in an IOU" in this case? It means use the dollars to buy stuff - so export. Well, that's bad if it extracts too much real value from the economy, but then the economy and the government have various tools at their disposal, from outright banning exports, through export tariffs to importing the stuff to export from another country that has a surplus. It's only a claim insofar as the claimee will deliver; there's no credible higher authority to whinge to that the US isn't playing fair, and the US government is only really answerable to its population.
The entitlement doesn't come from thinking "dang, the project doesn't do what I want".

It comes from getting worked up that it doesn't. And it comes from getting worked up that your github/forum/slack correspondence doesn't go in your favor just because you really want something, even if you think you should have more clout because it's a small community.

Elm made a controversial but reasonable trade-off for its packaging ecosystem: No synchronous FFI, only async FFI (over ports or web components). That means that you can count on Elm packages to not have runtime bugs due to sync JS which is a reasonable guarantee with reasonable workarounds.

As for whether Elm is impractical or impossible to integrate with JS code because of it, did you try? To me this complaint is like when I used to read people saying JS Promises led to worse code than JS callbacks early on in Javascript's transition. I couldn't relate to it much. You learn the idiosyncrasies and you move on.

I think part of the entitlement is the people who choose to never move on. Elm sucks, it's impossible to integrate, it's impractical, nobody should use it. Or... exit the theater and let the rest of us enjoy the show?

Kobo, I never had problems downloading the books and getting rid of the DRM.
#2 splits the configuration into 'dev' & 'prod' duplicates, describes it as 'with separate state files', and from there they're all different ways of splitting the project for some reason.

If the state isn't local, then if you want that split in order to apply them separately, there would be no reason to physically separate & duplicate them into different directories.

Port Control Protocol seems to be pretty well supported on most of the devices I own even in IPv6.

And in the end I'm pretty boned if I'm on CGNAT usually. I can pretty much never get my Switch to do matchmaking with peers on IPv4 when I'm on a CGNAT network. If we were all on IPv6, it wouldn't be a problem.

But it sure makes it easier to forget about. If someone never watches Netflix, will they keep paying for it? They're missing out on an opportunity to prove value.

Tangentially, does anyone know how to actually get anything done with rescript?

I feel like I would love it. It seems pretty darn awesome.

If that’s your point why didn’t you provide any comparisons to equivalent ice models?

Let’s look at some comparisons since that is your point:

> Starting with the Tesla Model 3 weighing in at between 1777Kg and 1840Kg

> A comparable ICE car the BMW 3 series 1570Kg - 1965Kg

> And another ICE car the Mercedes C class 1665Kg - 2190Kg

> And finally another EV the Ford Mustang Mach-E 1993Kg - 2218Kg

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-perception-of-Tesla-cars-b...

So there’s not much in it. EVs do tend to be 10-15% heavier for the same model in EV vs ICE but the point is brought up constantly as if they are twice as heavy, or at least significantly heavier. In reality picking a model 3 would for your next car would bring the average weight of US new cars down which I think is interesting, no?
> Coming soon, expensive premium baby foods marketing themselves as not containing dangerous levels of heavy metals for children of upper middle class parents, and less expensive budget baby foods that show themselves to contain higher levels for the poors who can go fuck themselves I guess.

Yep. It's already that way indirectly. Plus, I imagine there's probably random amounts of contaminants in eco/organic/greenwashed baby food at Whole Foods because megacorps are heavily-involved in that game and no one's measuring it.

If you're redoing the c std, which was my initial point, you can introduce a debug allocator with metadata about object layout. Coupled with some debugger support, i'd imagine you can get there. And if the C std was willing to allow constexpr to do more at compile time, you wouldn't need explicit debugger support and could just use constexpr to modify the compiler.

There's also nothing stopping debuggers reifying the C at debug-time into this metadata.

My claim is 95% can be fixed by just normalizing what is current practice at the stdlib level and compiler level. By extending constexpr, i think you could get to 100%. Given that this is the case, why even both with the nightmare of Rust.
while phones are mostly a circus people do try to use them for serious things. For a program you make the calculations as accurate as the application requires. If you don't know what a tool will be used for you never really get to feel satisfied.
Because they don't want to have to rely on an external service to find the right port. Just like how your browser doesn't need to be told to connect to :443 for HTTPS. If you're connecting encrypted SIP, the port is assumed to be 5061. Just like HTTP is assumed to be 80, SSH is 22, etc.
Next should have the same functionality that Gatsby had when doing a static export: pre-optimised images for different breakpoints that are created at build time. That would be a truly portable solution.
> Or perhaps that 20% is simply the remainder of organizational complexity that cannot be standardized in a single tool like Terraform

I think this is what it is in practice. My opinion is that if these organisations had slightly less opinions terraform could probably solve another 15% and just leave the 5% that is _definitely_ organizational complexity.
> I'd like a test webpage to fit on my terminal screen when I SSH to it. Or at least not require a modern browser to render.

It sounds like it may be worth wading into it a little more if this is what threw you off. Or is there some other reason Caddy doesn't fit your use case?

It has batteries included, so it'll have some things that are a little heavy handed or confusing. On balance I appreciate how simple it is for a user at the end of the day.
Just a note, because this comment made me curious and prompted me to look into it:

Vite does use HTTP2 automatically if you configure the cert, which is easy to do locally without Caddy. In that case specifically there's no real reason to use Caddy locally that I can see, other than wanting to use Caddy's local cert instead of mkcert or the Vite plugin that automatically provides a local cert.
I’ve stopped caring about packing.

Now I only pack the very basics, medication, laptop and chargers toiletries for shaving etc and a few clothes. Anything else I will most likely purchase or won’t need at all. I avoid checking bags, just a small carryon and my backpack.

Caddy is really great. In prod, but most surprisingly for all environments.

- There's a great tool, localias, which uses Caddy for a local dev server https://github.com/peterldowns/localias

- I use it locally for dev https://github.com/iloveitaly/python-starter-template/blob/m... which aligns tricky bits of a web app like HTTP redirect, cookies, and CORS to work consistently across dev and prod.

- Can be used on GHA for HTTPS as well https://github.com/iloveitaly/github-action-localias

The employee in question was terminated because they didn't want to go to the office. They had a third option, which was to go to the office and look for another job in the meantime, and not get fired in the first place. That's what most people would do.

This is right, but if they demand that you go to the office then you have to do it. Trying to trick them into thinking that you're going to the office when you're not is asking for trouble. If you need the money then you should just go and not make too much noise about it.

One thing you can do is expose yourself to a lot of different projects. I am in consultancy and man have I see some things. Someone told me once that a year of experience as a consultant is worth five as an employee. I kind of laughed it off... then I thought about the time I was responsible for managing eight projects as technical lead or sole technical person. They weren't all equally active, and I'm in hardware so there's always downtime as you're waiting for physical activities to take place, and that's well into the article's burnout zone (this was not sustainable or common practice for me), but... it does help explain why I can charge as much money as I do!

The main problem with taking dynamic verification all the way is making it work with ABI boundaries, which won't be going anywhere in at least the next decade.
