Interesting, in NZ you have an interest rate you pay to the bank for your mortgage that has to be renewed every few years. This interest rate is definitely impacted by inflation. Does the US/where you are from not have a similar system?

It also says the opposite if you google vi :)

Most likely they are just always connected while doing their work and so don’t bother to disconnect when slacking off either.

I had a 2015 XPS 13 and it’s mobo died. It was disappointing but lead to one of the best support experiences of my life with a technician coming to my apartment to fix it for me.

Then the mobo died again 2 years later now out of warranty :(

My 2015 MacBook Pro is still going strong though :)

I had high end Android devices up to Android 7 and still experienced lagging and stuttering. It was clear there were optimisation issues with the software that couldn’t be solved by throwing hardware at.

Generally I believe it's done for encapsulation between teams. That way, each team can own their code without any fear of another team being able to break anything provided they all work to their contracts.

If you can perform a join to get the data yourself, nothing is stopping anyone from circumventing your API that is intended for fetching the data or by making breaking changes to the single database that your code relies on.

But yes, trivial joins is effectively the trade off for this encapsulation and can mean other services have to collect their own versions of data from services which means you now have eventual consistency.

You don't plan to ever use 4G/5G again?

Interesting, I’m getting results. Pretty much the exact results I would expect as well. Have they fixed it or is this a regional thing?

Maybe if you’re referring to regular phishing sure, but spear phishing is specifically designed so it won’t go to your junk email and will look like something made for them personally, there won’t be any spelling mistakes, it will have been sent from a likely email source, it will most likely contain some personal information. The right phish at the right time could catch just about anyone out.

There’s a great talk at Black Hat about how Stripe trains staff against these sorts of phishing campaigns and these are highly technical people and they still click the links. https://youtu.be/Z20XNp-luNA

The game has an actual ending. The point of the speed run is to get to that which can be done in well less than an hour by the people good at it.

Probably doesn’t quite solve your problem exactly but these days you can get hotswappable keyboards that allow you to take the full switch off without needing to get your soldering iron out. You won’t be able to literally wash it but it should make cleaning a fair bit easier I imagine.

If you are wondering why people thought the virus was important despite the “low” death rate you only need to look at India right now. Or Italy before it. When it floods a medical system to the point of collapse things become very dangerous.

Perhaps you could put a bow on the hand?

Why advise against iTerm?

Doesn’t it still produce the same knot as the standard shoe tie knot? I thought it was just a faster method?

What’s interesting is the iPhone Bluetooth experience with Apple products is excellent. I remember my partner used to have an Android wear watch for her Android phone and it was constantly disconnecting and having to be disconnected/reconnected to fix issues. When I got my Apple Watch, I couldn’t believe how smooth the experience was. To the point where if you didn’t know it ran off Bluetooth you would think it is some new protocol. Similar experience with AirPods as well.

I’m not from the USA but the statement makes perfect sense to me. I’m not quite sure what you imply with your point, that everyone where you are from lives “downtown” or that people where you’re from can always just walk to an equivalent.

Interesting, what would you prefer to use? Email?

Venv is great for keeping dependencies separate but if your local machine doesn’t have the same version of Python as your server then you’ll need pyenv.

What do you find is so much better in WSL2 vs Mac? I find when I’m using WSL2 I feel more like I’m using 2 computers since they have the different file systems (you can’t just git clone into your windows file system from WSL for example) Whereas with Mac, it’s all one system and it’s all still Unix. The rest of Mac vs Windows seems like it could be up for debate (last few Mac updates have made it feel a lot less polished) but from a purely terminal experience I’ve found Mac to be so much better since it’s all just one system. I’m switching to Windows soon so I’m really curious, what’s your workflow for dev with WSL? For example, where do you keep your repos? What editor do you use? That sort of thing.

While trying to read the article, a graphic video of a lady having earwax extracted started autoplaying. I don't think I've ever been so put off from an article so quickly.

Generally this is surprising because the user bought the "Air" model instead of his usual "pro" model which is much more expensive. The impressive part here is that the air outperforms last years pro (according to the author) which is 3x the price.

I’m not saying anything with certainty. However, a lot of work has been expended in trying to contain this cluster and currently this is how it looks with the data we currently have.

Fortunately it sounds very contained. All cases (fewer than 15) were confined to a single location and there haven’t been any more detected since September. So most likely the mutation is now extinct.

Which I believe is a reference to Dune :)

It’s really just anything hackers would find interesting. Generally it spans tech and startups but also occasionally branches out to other sciences, art, politics and other subjects.

Having read peopleware, that’s effectively what it is about.

I thought it was supposed to be more like a mastodon tooting with it’s trunk?

Especially considering they employed the BDFL.

I don't think so these days. I remember a little while ago, an update was pushed that bricked any phones with a third party screen (which I think included the finger print reader). The update was patched I believe but replacing the screen on a modern iPhone isn't as simple as replacing the glass anymore IIRC.
