Is that 30,000 limit per extension, or global?

A bit like Numi.app for Mac. Neat.

Do you mean uBlock Origin is no longer being maintained?

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases shows many recent releases?

> As someone who got involved in an open-source version of the Ultima Online server, this is a fun read

Ultima Online emulators were what took small interest for me and blew it up into a career. But for me, it was pre-RunUO: SphereServer (aka GrayServer, I think) and UOX3. C++, with its own scripting engine built in. It wasn't exactly closed or open source. It also got me into Linux: while some emulation servers were run on home PCs, others were run on hosted machines. Debugging often meant the server administrators would give you root access to debug their running server. New Ultima Online releases meant being late for school to try and debug the client code changes to be able to quickly update the server, otherwise no one could log in.

It was incredibly buggy and never, to my knowledge, reached feature parity with the full game. The workarounds individual servers made through the rudimentary scripting language was impressive (many of these hacks were then copied into the core emulation scripts).

For trips down memory lane, these sites are still live -- and being updated? Wow.

The key is in the 'congratulations' email:

> Please note that, on acceptance of this employment offer, the following equipment will be deliver to you to set up your home office, the funds for the purchase of the equipment will be made available to you prior to purchase and delivery.

They will send you a $15k check, you'll buy the equipment, and Venmo them back the remainder. Meanwhile, the check bounces.

I found myself voting against colors more than I was voting for colors. Anything wins against the harshness of chartreuse, except a somehow _worse_ chartreuse.

Aside from the JIT change, those all sound like pluses to me!

Most startups offer a 90 day window to exercise after you leave. Some companies have extended that to longer (caveat being they convert to NSO grants after 90 days).

And still no way to un-block street view from my address. It's the only house on the block that is blurred, which makes it _less_ private. (The previous owner had it blocked.)

My most recent one was Google Maps routing me off of interstates onto narrow rural roads to save a few minutes. At dusk. In the midwest.

Clearly no one working on that algorithm has experience driving rural roads at dusk and dodging deer!

Google used to allow you to block individual domains right from the search UI. It was discontinued in 2011.

There are numerous extensions to block domains, like uBlacklist: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmi... (not affiliated)

> I don't use my Boss with my phone or on the go which is, generally, where the AirPods experience 90% of their quirks.

My experience is the opposite. When I'm not on the go, the likelihood that my AirPods pick up the right device is slim -- like trying to connect to an iPad on a complete different floor vs. the phone I'm trying to make a call on.

When I'm on the go, the only device they can find is my phone, and all works great.

Don't forget to add in the folks who technically recovered from COVID but are suffering lingering conditions like scarred lung tissue, kidney damage, atrial fibrillation, myocarditis, [...]. Those will add more sad stories over the coming years as those conditions will make recovering from other ailments harder.

Even better if your language supports it: use named escape sequences so you don't have to look it up. "\N{RIGHTWARDS ARROW}" vs "\u2192"

> Will they remove the feature entirely or just plan to change up the colorways available?

At least with this feature Mozilla told us how long it'll be before they remove it.

FWIW this is how Homebrew, the most widely used package manager on macOS, does it. As an example, check out the 'formula' for installing Zoom: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/...

I used to maintain a few packages and it was pretty dang easy to publish, test, vet, and distribute this way. Everything else is in Git, why not this, too?

https://agenda.com fit the bill for me. Offline use (though can only sync today through iCloud and Dropbox, I think, which sucks - but you can sync folders manually), pulls calendar from your system integration, simple payment. You can link your daily agenda items/notes to calendar invites.

Though it does not connect to email, at least today, which was OK for my use cases.

Does that new "core" prevent you from syncing via iCloud?

Wow, talk about being buried.

(Curmudgeon engaged) These company communications are just a few ironic emojis away from fitting in with Facebook MLM spam and don't instill much confidence.

Do you have a link to read more about the loss of iCloud sync?

If that's accurate, goodbye 1password. I was irked (but understood) the move into a subscription model, but this step would make no sense from a personal sec-ops perspective. While I generally am not a fan of iCloud (and how it forces certain things to sync onto devices), I really do NOT want yet another "cloud" to store incredibly sensitive info like password vaults.

I have been looking for a tool that better connects meetings to notes. I have some local scripting to connect meetings to notes and collect TODOs across my dozens of meetings/week. It looks like Hera could've replaced a lot of my custom setup!

But storing in your cloud, and needing access via G Suite is a non-starter. You won't get much for early adopters in top-end enterprise if you need _yet more apps installed in G Suite_ AND _sync to yet another cloud for infosec to have to vet_.

> Hey infosec, I have a new vendor that needs access to G Suite and it syncs unencrypted meeting notes to their cloud.

vs.

> Hey infosec, I have a local application that reads from Mac's calendar integration and stores notes locally.

If they represented it with a real photo you wouldn't be able to tell the difference to a general office job.

> - Do not get tricked into rolling over old employer 401k plans to a traditional (non-Roth) IRA. If you do this, there are very complex tax implications when doing backdoor Roth contributions.

Do you have more information on what we should be looking for here? Is the backdoor roth you're referring to different from 401(k) plan sponsored mega backdoor roth?

Are sales spam emails going to start including personalized videos? I guess I'll look forward to the "Hello dollar sign firstname. I'm dollar sign agentname. My colleague recommended I connect with you, as you both work at dollar sign employer" template misfires.

He's being held to a bandwidth constraint that he has no visibility into. The dashboard only shows about 2% of bandwidth being used. He has no way to a) verify if Vimeo is accurate, nor b) visibility into the other 98% of plays.

Would you pay someone if they came to you and said "Pay me $8k, you're using 53x more traffic than you think. No, you can't verify that." Or would you tell them to go kick rocks?

Scrolling on that page is incredibly janky (Chrome/mac).

Is that the underlying tech being new and slow, or the specific implementations using it on the gallery?

And if you own cookbooks, check the intro to see if it notes what kind of salt to use. Most recipes use coarser kosher salt for measure, at least with professional recipe writers.

Table salt is made of finer crystals and will make your dish far saltier if you substitute them unknowingly. (Fine table salt packs about 2x the salt into 1tsp than Diamond Kosher -- 2 tsp Diamond Kosher == 1 1/2 tsp Morton Kosher == 1 tsp regular table salt.
