There is also spyware running on them. They literally spy on what you're watching and send the info home, and the data gets sold to market to you. No thanks.

Edit.

They also connect to unprotected wifi networks to send data without your permission.

I was in the same boat, but I'm taking some time off work and I'm very happy with the Lua support. New link to my dotfiles to come. In the mean time, here are my current ones, in case they help anybody out: https://github.com/hoov/dotfiles. I use MacOS, WSL2, and Debian unstable.

I've tried a bunch of X servers, but with a 4k display, they're all too slow to be usable. I'm settling for running WSL inside Alacritty for now.

Or even nothing goes wrong suddenly. Once, I had a vacation planned for six months and had to spend the long weekend cooped up in my hotel room overseeing a complicated migration.

> There's an asymmetry because Amazon can "afford" to double check everything? How?

Well, Amazon shows you the percent discount. I can't imagine that there are too many items over, let's say, $1000 that are at a 90% discount at any given time. Seems easy enough to flag those for manual review, especially if they are being sold by Amazon directly.

This is so great! While at Adobe, to solve some technical issues, I wrote a microservice that sat along HAProxy, providing a REST interface to manipulate the configuration, validate, and then do a graceful reload. The fact that this is now built-in is amazing, and a lot less clunky. I wish I had this in 2012; it would have saved me and my team a lot of work. And, I'm sure this solution is much better than the band-aid we built.

It's a little more complicated than that. Even with a riving knife, you can still get kickback if your blade isn't aligned properly -- and most cheaper saws need a tune-up before being used.

This is really nice, especially all the integrations. I've been using slides.com for a while, and I may switch to this. But, one feature that would be amazing would be the ability to upload to an S3 bucket. Bonus points for creating a public bucket configured correctly to view the slides. It's annoying to have to carry every possible type of dongle and fight with A/V issues at random places when you need to show a deck on hardware that you don't control. I always make sure that the content I need to show is available on any machine with an internet connection, but it takes a lot of effort sometimes.

Difficult, but possible. We did this with Buzzword at Adobe. The hardest part was the UX, honestly. Most knowledge workers need some hand holding, to say nothing of teachers and students (we had success selling to high school teachers).

I'm not a fan of this.

First of all, requirements.txt is for development requirements. Runtime ones belong in setup.py.

Also, the "extras" feature is already in setup.py via extras_require.

I see no need to use this nonstandard tool when the standard tooling works.

Unfortunately, I bet there are a bunch of regulations, both federal and per state. For example, the 7k memory limit is a state-by-state thing: "Memory sizes greater than those permitted in any specific correctional facility will be rejected at the facility property room" -- from the vendor's website.

Sun sat at 4:15 PM in Boston last December 21st. I'd take 6 PM over that. Sunrise was 7:10.

> I am just starting out in web development and am looking for any tutorials on Phoenix/Elixir/Erlang.

While I like Elixir a lot, I'm not sure that it's the best place to start. I'd find an ecosystem that is more stable and has more reliable resources available. Try starting with Rails or Django, maybe.

It clearly doesn't cover "unix and unix-like" shells, since fish shell syntax isn't supported. It seems to be trying to be bash-compatible since it uses bashlex under the hood, but as another commented noticed, the bash parsing isn't perfect.
