That’s funny. I’ve made several <5m I call them ‘unstension’ cords and jokingly say “look, this extension lead is so short, when you plug it in the cord actually gets shorter”.

Dead appliances have their cords cut off and chucked in a box, when I need a few inches more length I put a female plug on the other end. Either that or I open the device and put a longer cord on it, but that’s extra effort.

I was definitely not sympathetic. I was pretty livid, however, context is necessary.

This person didn't even try. Engineers at this company rarely ask for help from other teams or collaborate. Management has talked the talked, but there is no walk to actually take down these silos. I pointed him at product and BA people that offered to help, but he didn't ask them, either. Instead, he thought he could reverse engineer it, which probably took 3x longer than it should.

It's always the same trade-off between having a uniform experience and the ability to fix unfortunate decisions more easily.

The UI default shipped should not materially (if any) change every few months. But power users should be able to tweak the UI and UX even more, and publish their tweaks. Some sets of tweaks might become popular among other power users, and the best finds could find their way upstream.

What I strive to achieve is speeding up the process of UI evolution, of finding better approaches to UI and UX. This may be enabled by an ability to tweak UI/UX without recompiling the whole thing, and by not having to write the UI/UX in a low-level footgun-ridden language which is C. Even now GIMP allows for quite a bit of customization within its built-in UX.

The untweaked, vanilla experience should be good enough, stable, and the norm for non-advanced users, very much like the current UX.

For a battle-tested example, look at MS Office. You can tweak its UI in rather drastic ways; I've seen VBA apps that make Excel barely recognizable, while harnessing its power. But most users never ever alter a single button on a single toolbar, and are fine following video guides showing where to click.
Honestly this sounds more likely to replace some workflows I historically would have done with Docker.

Nice job. Thanks! Also very interesting to have it "distributed" in one html file. Sometimes people forget simple ways to do stuff :)

Is is possible to import and edit diagrams after they have been created?
I didn't claim otherwise and it's irrelevant to my point, regardless. The point is that you can't exclude technology from the issue - surveillance with modern tech and with pre-industrial tech are very different things. Now you can do almost complete surveillance of the population (just track phones and you know everywhere everyone goes).

(Also, where and when specifically are you talking about? The 1950s US? State intelligence agencies didn't really exist, afaik, before maybe the (20th century?).)

There are two ways for me to interpret "simply tell your system to start using v6".

If it means upgrading every program, then your plan works but it's the same as how things work today. You're telling people to do a thing, and they aren't bothering. The "simple" step isn't simple at all.

If it doesn't mean upgrading every program, then your rollout fails on the last step. You start handing out longer addresses and legacy programs can't access them.
I think the name concerns are legitimate just on the basis that it sounds awkward, regardless of whether it's offensive or not. An image editor named Gnome or Goblin, or even Midget (widely regarded to also be offensive), would be fine, because those make me think of cute little people. A 'gimp' is a weird guy in a leather suit or a guy with a messed up leg, and I don't really want to think about any of that when I open my image editor.
> These can be steel, titanium, thick plastic, etc

Modern materials! I didn’t realise stiletto heels are post-WWII tech.

Apparently it was steel heels (Français) or steel arches (Ferragamo) that enabled the shoe. I wonder if there was more overlap with aircraft or ammunition manufacturing…

Now that I think about it, a nitinol arch compositing would afford lightweight yet flexible support and grounding authority, particularly if you could composite towards a stiffer alloy at the stick end.
I remember Gimpshop, and I think it was a good experiment.

I also think that the effort to create such experiments should be made lower: supported, reasonably future-proof code that runs within the host application, instead of a laboriously maintained fork.
that’s not it at all. everyone implementing an image editor knows what a gaussian blur is, but the average person doesn’t. it requires active effort to forget what you know and empathize with someone who is seeing these concepts for the first time. In my opinion, it’s an effort that the volunteers working on GIMP aren’t obligated to put in if they don’t feel like it
The point of rust isn’t to formally prove that there are no bugs. It’s just to make writing certain classes of bugs harder. That’s what people are missing when they point out that yes, it’s possible to circumvent safety mechanisms. It’s a strawman: bulletproof, guaranteed security simply isn’t a design goal of rust.
security is an incredibly broad domain. there's so much more than GRC (compliance and auditing).
I have a guy at work who does most of our UI/UX design, and recently one of the screenes we needed to implement involved a list where the user needs to select one option then click "Save". He designed it with checkboxes... some people just have no idea that UX conventions exist.

Do you mean by artifical means or sensing machines or something?

Because spirits are a metaphysical but very human concept, and I answer that they can be perceived, discerned, described, and known [perhaps not fully or objectively].

Faith and reason are both in operation for science and religion. There is a complex history of falsified doctrines, miracles, apparitions, and communities for mainstream Christianity, as I am sure all others.

You can't dissect a Eucharistic host or throw it into a Mass Spectrometer and find Jesus molecules, [unless you're Carlo Acutis] but if one billion people can tell the difference, who are we to judge?

Sounds like normal support work not sure why that's affecting morale.

It's normal in any kind of system to also cover issues.

Yes, at some point you might want to have a customer support / customer success later to at least triage them, but that makes more sense as you get bigger not when you are small.

I actually like having discussions on support days with customer. Yes, sometimes they're more annoying but it's direct feedback of people trying to use your software.
I think in principle, an application didn't need to know the exact format of an IP address, even if connecting directly to an IP. A simple idea that could have made application code much more IP-agnostic would have been for SOCK_ADDR_IN to take the IP in string format, not as a four-byte value. That way, lots of application code would not need to even be recompiled to move from a 4 byte IPv4 address to a 16 byte IPv6 address, whereas today they not only need to be recompiled, they need to be changed at the source level to use a new type that allows for both.

Of course, code that operates on packets, in the TCP/IP stack of the OS would have still needed to be rewritten. But that is far less code than "every application that opens a socket".

Of course, this only applies to code that uses IPs only to open connections. There's lots of application code that does more things with IPs, such as parsing, displaying, validating etc. All of this code would still need to be rewritten to accept IPv6 addresses (and its much more complex string representations), that part is inevitable.
That's not really security though, that's just bad behavior.

Yes, the rust compiler, like all complex software, has bugs. And yes, those bugs could result in memory unsafety, undefined behavior, etc.

The same is true of every programming language. There might be bugs in clang or gcc so how can we prove that they actually follow the C++ spec? We can’t. rustc is no different, but nobody ever claimed it was, so why hold it to a higher standard than clang?

UI, where I stands for "interface" just like in HCI, used to mean all those things.

But in the industry the focus turned to aesthetics, so a new term was invented to differentiate between focusing on the entire interface ("experience") vs just the look.

Just like "design" encompasses all of it, but we add qualifiers to ensure it's not misunderstood for "pretty".

You spelled qt wrong
i thought these "dark pools" are visible _after_ their trades have completed.

The information about someone _wanting_ to buy or sell a large amount, is hidden via the dark pool, so that this order doesn't make the public markets move.
See my above comment: UI used to mean all of those and then it became just "pretty", so a new term was invented.
> you want to buy Stock A which is currently trading for $5 and sell it for $6

It sounds like I'm asking for a pony in this scenario. I shouldn't expect to get that.

If I want to buy at $5 and hold it for more than a day, I don't think the secrecy of that big sale really affects me. It'll be over soon enough.

no, only the DVD-R last a long time. the BD-R aren't rated

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40240126

see other comments in that thread (rooted at parent https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40237984 )

i can't find an original source but for sure back in that era i read info that the BD-R is not rated. as a data hoarder i ended up not going with that tech due to that analysis. even the main m-disc site only says the BD is "based on" the same tech, not that it was also evaluated. all i can find right now is overwhelmed by marketing and bloggers repeating the not-well-supported 1000 year claim for the BD.

anyway, from a bit of googling it appears you can't buy BD version of MDisc any more anyway. The ones marketed as such are apparently the more "normal" HTL BDR which are good for 100 years.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1alz63y/real_m... seems to be a good analysis, supporting the thought that it's likely only the DVDR that ever met the 1000 year claim.
The author addresses this in the text:

> There are also false prophets—we all want quick solutions, and sometimes we get (too) excited about people who promise them. For example, in Germany, some claim they have “made Microsoft’s cloud European” through SAP. However, this turns out to be not quite the case. If the U.S. refuses to cooperate, they (by their own admission) would be down within a few months. Amazon also claims they are going to do something similar, but they’ve been saying that for years, and they conveniently avoid addressing what happens in case of a conflict with the U.S.

It depends - Western countries exist in a fiat currency world without a gold price tether, so governments that are sovereign in their own currency do not depend on tax receipts to provide services (the Eurozone is a different kettle of fish due to the common currency and lack of defined horizontal stabilisation).

Generally, if governments foresee the need to encourage economic activity, they should reduce tax rates. If they predict their economy is or will become overheated, they should increase tax rates. If they wish to buy votes from people who don't understand how money and tax work in an untethered fiat currency world, they should increase tax rates into the 90%+ range; however, this will cause economic disruption with some time delay, which those responsible will hope they can blame on the party in power at the time of the disruption.

Yes, I am more cynical now than I was 20 years ago.
It's a single 4992 line HTML file, which is the source code, making a lot harder to contribute to or maintain. I'd like it a bit more (and I might even contribute) if it had at least some separation of concerns, and a simple build system even if the build system is just a bash command to concatenate source files into one HTML file (if having 1 HTML file is somehow very important, but it's not).
> That said, the author neglected to mention timezones or following the sun. A 12/12 hour shift or 8/8/8 (NA/EU, NA/EU/EMEA) addresses the sleep deprivation problem pretty well

I completely agree.

The "get a call at 3am" scenario, to me, is shorthand for an organization which intentionally under-staffs in order to save money. If a system has genuine 24x7 support needs, be it SLA's or inferior construction, it is incumbent upon the organization to staff accordingly.

Still and all, identifying a production issue is one thing, expecting near real-time resolution by personnel likely unfamiliar with the intricacies of every aspect of a non-trivial production system is another.

I don't think it's weaselly: it's not the first term that has lost its original meaning (like "hacker" or, ahem, "cloud") and required introducing specifiers to go back to the original meaning.
I wouldn't be so harsh.

It's just the euphemism treadmill. Just like people perennially come up with new technical terms for the not-so-smart that are meant to be just technically and inoffensive, and over time they always become offensive, so someone has to come up with new technical terms.

See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot

> 'Idiot' was formerly a technical term in legal and psychiatric contexts for some kinds of profound intellectual disability where the mental age is two years or less, and the person cannot guard themself against common physical dangers. The term was gradually replaced by 'profound mental retardation', which has since been replaced by other terms.[1] Along with terms like moron, imbecile, retard and cretin, its use to describe people with mental disabilities is considered archaic and offensive.[2]
Missle is a projectile, propelled by rocket motor. Drone is an aircraft vehicle, capable of transporting explosives or whatever. There is a fat line between drone and a missile, there are different in everything: control, speed, trajectory, weight, flying principles. I don't know how you can say they are even close. Just because both fly and do boom? Then you can say there is a thin line between cow launched from catapult and a missile.
Perhaps Science and Religion are undergoing some sort of schism. Looking back several hundred years, the universities that were forming priests were also educating the elite and turning out polymaths. Perhaps there is a blossoming of specialization in these latter days, where kids don't need church or a noble family to put them on track for some really heady science work.

In fact university systems are practically religions unto themselves, with perceptible and distinctive campus cultures, Greek fraternity/sorority and what have you clubs to join, there is certainly a churchy blueprint being followed in education.

It seems to me that religion and medicine and architecture and other various sciences were tightly intertwined. It's why the reactionary Christians are rejecting Science qua Science and Scientism, because if science is not subject to religious ethics or morals, then science has power that church doesn't.

I don't know about Asia and the rest of the world, but seeing as the Catholic Church set up systems such as universities and hospitals, it's altogether unsurprising that religion is woven into the DNA of those disciplines even as they secularize and syncretize.

Honest statistical reports may even be written highlighting the frequency of lost-key-findings under streetlights.

They might even prefer elected representatives that propose streetlight removal policies, to reduce the scourge of lost keys.
