I would not have guessed Willem Dafoe up there :o
takes a ding at dang :) who are you :)
I am not disagreeing on any of those points. Just pointing it out that tech disruption only happens when someone else finds a way to steal that cut. It is never about the common good. That is why true open solutions and markets are hard to find.
I think people who rally against Amazon in this topic assume that the "savings" from much open price competition immediately come back to the consumer or the manufacturer. In my experience, with previous such tech improvement such as 'uber disrupting taxies', this has never been the case.
Both the consumer and the manufacturer/labor/driver/gig-worker always get the short end of the stick.... once AI-agents becomes indispensable part of life.
One thing thing I am curious about. You mentioned polling for the state of that particular message (CF queue world). Is that really possible? I would have assumed it requires the developer to track the message using D1
56k dial-up was a special upgrade from US Robotics and only some providers/numbers would have that speed. Yeah, as you said, more likely you will end up with 28.8 (based on the live negotiation during the connection setup I think)
Clearly I am missing some setting. On zsh on macOS and I tried what you just said and it doesn't work like this
While I agree on screen size, Apple does give a good amount of thought into application side of things - screen-layout fall into either the iPad like layout or single-column one of a regular phone. This is a bit easier for App developers. Also force-upgrade of OS is also better for those targeting iOS compared to the Android world.
Thanks! I didn't even know this existed!! :o
Is there an option to "use the remote computer just as it was local" even between two Macs? Sure, terminal/ssh is enough for most use-cases, but this is something I expected from Apple as builtin.
I can tailscale into my home network, but what next? VNC/TeamViewer/Remote Desktop setups are all mediocre imho.
Aren't LLM's mostly overconfident? If they are independent entities/agents, they may be tempted to try to sabotage the less performing teams to take over their projects - just like in human world.
Aren't you both agreeing.. that it is way beyond $40? :)
You need a six figure wallet to want to spend $20k on a tester :)
> If the pen’s ink reservoir is partly empty, so that it contains an air bubble, and if it’s positioned nib down, then, when you go up in an airplane, the bubble will expand as the ambient pressure drops, forcing ink out the nib. Once I figured that out, I got in the habit of making sure my pens were positioned nib up when taking off in an airplane. If I have time I’ll also refill the pen before departure, to minimize the size of the air bubble.
Finally! this was one of those things that bothered me for many years, but not enough to spend time to research :) . Thank you!!
Got this toast/notification message from your desktop app.
> Added ok to your PATH — managed block in ~/.zshrc, ~/.config/fish/conf.d/open-knowledge.fish.
Took a while to see that 'ok' is the name of your product.
It is only a problem if you claim it to be an independently developed OS with no attribution to base
Why isn't there a middle man service to do IRL verification.
Like - account is locked, you must use 2FA backup codes.
Else go to western union / 7-eleven / super-market, show ID proof, pay $10 for recovery service.
Wait 2 days (of someone not clicking on this-was-not-me)
If account is already hacked - pay $100 for expert support
Laptop without internet access, sure. Pencil and paper? that is brutal :)
Well, you don't know how many more would have died if doctors and hospital didn't care about their insurance going higher???
> It's interesting that it's the universities being ransomed, while the technical failure was Instructure's.
My guess would be they get likelihood of getting paid when blackmailing 9,000 schools (at least a few would pay up) than blackmailing Canvas/Instructure.
I don't think any SLA/terms would change who gets to feel the pain.
The guy who bought friendster.com lurks here
Is the last photo on that page, describing the cabling, a screenshot of another photo displayed using flipdiscs? that is a whole lot of discs!!
On the credentials point. Here is what I find.
Day 1: Carefully handles the creds, gives me a lecture (without asking) about why .env should be in .gitignore and why I should edit .env and not hand over the creds to it.
Day 2: I ask for a repeat, has lost track of that skill or setting, frantically searches my entire disk, reads .env including many other files, understands that it is holding a token, manually creates curl commands to test the token and then comes back with some result.
It is like it is a security expert on Day 1 and absolute mediocre intern on Day 2
> with secrets possibly baked into source
please don't suggest this. The right way is to have the creds fetched from a vault, which is programmed to release the creds auth-free to your VM (with machine level identify managed by the parent platform)
This is how Google Secrets or AWS Vaults work.
The providers themselves can't keep this straight even within their own ecosystem. Plus everyone is running at a million miles/hour.
For example `Claude code` used to set 2 specific beta headers with some version numbers for their Max subscription to be supported.
Oauth tokens for Max plan is different from how their API keys looked. They kind of look similar, but has specific prefix that these tool pre-validate.
It is barely working at this point even within a single provider
A comment from the PR
> Not a serious problem, but the weekdays are wrong. For example, 18-Apr-2127 is a Friday, not Sunday.
There is now many magical dates to remember - 2126 ( I think PR was updated after that comment) and 2177. There is also 2028 also somewhere.
The only people panicking are probably those state level actors who were using these for their own benefit.
Somewhat unrelated to the language itself:
> The compiler bootstraps through 3+ generations of self-compilation.
I guess it applies to any language compiler, but f you are self-hosting, you will naturally release binary packages. Please make sure you have enough support behind the project to setup secure build pipeline. As a user, we will never be able to see something even one nesting-level up.
Thank you for PartitionMagic!! I remember using it to undo whatever disk partitioning mistake I did when originally setting up a machine :)
I struggled with disappearing icons (like our company VPN client - which wasn't tailscale by the way) thinking the app was somehow "stuck". I would go kill the app, restart machine etc - during restart it would get fixed "automatically" by being an app earlier in the order!
Took me months to figure out it was running afterall and just hidden by the notch.
How hard is for apple to move the "least used icons" to a fold? (but still accessible)
