I hate this redirect nonsense as well. FYI though, if you tap-and-hold on the back button on Mobile Safari, you'll get a menu of the last 10-ish pages you were on.

> OK, you want to push Google+? Isn't google+ supposed to be a platform (and not simply an application). Let google reader be an application on top of the Google+ platform.

They actually did start to integrate them. Google Reader had native sharing functionality for several years. Then in 2011 they suddenly removed it and replaced[1] it with sharing through Google+. My small network of Reader-using friends were split over wanting to join Google+, so that mostly killed our practice of regularly sharing links with each other.

Don't forget my favorite example: Processing.

Funny coincidence, mine was, too. The founder acquired the Indy from his previous employer, and it sat in a corner running DNS. There was a Windows box running a RADIUS server, and a Cisco 2501 router. The main office was also a PoP site, so there were a couple Hayes modem banks and a concentrator box. There were 5 other PoP sites around the state, because this was when calling a few towns away was "long distance".

Flea markets as well, at least in the US. At least as of a few years ago, the Raynham Flea Market[1] in southern Massachusetts had several vendors specializing in old gaming consoles and games. On average prices are probably a little higher, but the trade off is being able to inspect something in person rather than having to trust an eBay listing.

Came here to post the same. The book has a nice flow to it, or at least one which fit well with my personal thought processes. Named "patterns" (for lack of a better word) are introduced via examples that build upon each other, starting with simpler techniques and gradually becoming more complex.

> The better answer is that marketplaces should have to have reasonably consistent return policies. Push the risk back onto them so that it stops the fraudulent products.

A good return policy is insufficient. Amazon is very good about accepting returns. Amazon also co-mingles their own inventory with that of their marketplace sellers. In the past, I have ordered items from Amazon, being careful to choose "Shipped and Sold by Amazon", and have received items that are obviously provided by a marketplace seller. It's great that I was able to contact Amazon and have them issue me a refund. They didn't even want me to bother shipping the item back. But that process still incurred a cost to me, namely:

* extra time not having the item I wanted and could trust

* time and effort to acquire a replacement item from a different retailer

* physical waste, since I discarded the item I received from Amazon because I couldn't trust it

* frustration

Personally, I think the better answer is a system that doesn't put this (minor but non-zero) cost, and its alternative of accepting an inferior and/or less trusted item, onto many, many consumers.

> Mailgun still didn’t automatically rotate DKIM keys last time I looked, otherwise I’d rate them much higher.

Not only do they not automatically rotate them, there's no functionality to manually rotate them either. The only thing you can do is delete the configuration for your domain entirely and recreate it, which of course nukes your Event log. Hopefully they are working to address this...

The Zoom app itself doesn't need admin access. My primary non-admin account on my work Mac has it installed in ~/Applications, and I don't notice any missing functionality.

The only annoyance is having to manually extract it out of the downloaded archive when I want to update it. But IIRC, this takes two commands, not including the commands to swap the new app bundle with the old.

The downloaded archive is compressed with xar, and I believe that one should be extracted into an empty directory because otherwise it will spray files everywhere. Then the app bundle is in a gzipped cpio file...I think it's at Contents/Payload.

Reminds me of the shell replacement Microsoft released to provide a Win95-style UI in Windows NT 3.51[1]. I ran it for a while in 95/96. Somewhere in my closet I still have the CD-ROM pack with the OS and the addon...

I'm not in front my my desk right now, but is it possible the results from History are weighted by frequency and/or recency? I know these attributes are recorded in the History db.

Yes, we were also having issues with a domain they manage. We got our first alert around 10am (14:02 UTC). Their own website was failing to load for me as well. I noticed at one point that they had modified the WHOIS record for markmonitor.com to add some extra authoritative name servers, and that seemed to make their website load again. Our apps came back shortly afterward.

We are not a direct customer, however, so I don't have a support contact to whom I can reach out.

ARISE and CLOUT are my two.

There is a `w` command. It's kind of like a mix of `who` and `uptime`.

I tried the same test, in a clean browser that should have nothing for Google to grab (beyond IP address) to correlate with my browsing habits. Of the top 10 results, Google got the right context in 7, while DDG got it in only one (the 10th in fact). I guess if you work with that particular piece of software, maybe you hit this sort of thing a lot. Thankfully, my experience is more like GP's: I only rarely try sending queries to Google, and for me at least, often those rare cases don't yield anything from Google beyond the realization that I need to figure out a better query.

We have a 2019 Honda Pilot. The remote start will work for two 10-minute cycles, but then it will not work again until you start it via the primary ignition switch inside the vehicle. Other manufacturers may differ on this behavior however.

It's not just Wordle proper, though, it's all the variants...Nerdle, Worldle, Heardle, Dordle/Quordle/Octordle/etc...

> It takes way too many clicks to report spam in GMail. Considering this is such a frequent operation, it should have a one-button "ban" function, possibly with an "Oops" undo if you pressed it by mistake.

If keyboard shortcuts are enabled, '!' is mapped to "Report as spam". I don't recall whether the status popover that appears at the bottom of the UI has an "Undo" link, though...

The new and novel thing is that there is a $400 upsell at all. I believe all of the previous Apple displays (Pro XDR excluded) have only come with a fixed stand (though some could accept VESA mount adapters).

I think the left-arrow of the directional pad on my Roku remote performs the "skip back 10 seconds" function...

Yeah, and as with Wordle, I think there is some strategy that can be employed in the first couple guesses to aggressively eliminate digits and operators. Currently I use 3 * 5 + 2 = 17 as my first guess in order to try all the prime digits, 1, and the "easier" operators. There are probably better options though...

Too bad it'll take months for the savings to offset the time you will invest in canceling the NYT newspaper subscription...

There's a decent amount of bike-shedding over which workflow is the best, and that is a sort of inefficient "fuel" for git as a tool at some level...

If you're on a Mac, and you want something slightly easier than having to drop down to a command shell to add the necessary flags, you can have Automator bundle a script as an app that you can then put in your dock. Here's the script I use:

https://gist.github.com/ilikepi/9d2e17e0d3b3efd6fc0584f46f09...

Note that, when run for the first time, it will request permission to talk to a couple system services. You can remove that stuff pretty easily though. You can also launch a shell script from Automator, which would have been easier but then I would not have had a chance to play with Applescript...

Yep...the excitement of spending hours exploring, followed by the dismay of having to work off a multi-hundred dollar phone bill.
