Drizzle honey on top as well for an even better treat.

Socializing for free food sounds too expensive for me.

You go to school for 4 years plus 4 more of med school just to be called doctor. Then 2 more years academy training to become ships surgeon. But you spend one night with a really potent scented candle and now that’s all anyone talks about.

This was basically the active shooter training I had to attend when I worked at a big office. Even if you’re a “good guy with a gun” when the officials, armed site security or police, roll in they have no idea and you run a huge risk of being assumed to be the aggressor.

How the fuck are you supposed to read this atrocity?

Good thing they aren’t on your roads then, being that you’re not American, and therefore not in either of the metropolitan areas they operate. They are on my roads however, I see them all the time. I see constant terrible driving from all kinds of people, but these things are patient and I don’t think I’ve personally seen one make a mistake.

By referring to their current stage of deployment as a public beta like it’s a bad thing you show a ton of ignorance on how testing cycles work as well. No amount of alpha testing would make these safe for broad deployment into real world scenarios that test designers can’t dream up. This is exactly the type of slow roll out that is required to get as much real experiences as possible to be programmed for.

I have no doubt these things aren’t perfect, but they are a lot better than an overworked and tired human being the wheel.

I’ve been in software for more than 20 years now. I’ve done some pretty innovative things from time to time. There is nothing I have ever done or seen in any proprietary code base at any company I’ve ever worked at that isn’t at every other company. The only unique thing at any company is how all the puzzle pieces get connected. It’s pure ego to think that any idea you have in that now open source project is unique or what’s giving you any competitive advantage in your other projects.

I’m going to say we’re actually heading in this direction, though it will ultimately be different. We haven’t really been using touch screens all that long, and we’re still figuring out things. What’s more valuable than an app icon? One that also tells you the date, or how many emails you have. We’re just starting to delve into widgets, live tiles, and contextually sensitive icons. Maybe we have an agenda widget, what it does when you tap on it changes based on the time. 5 min before or after you have to leave to make it to your appointment, the tap opens maps with the route already up. 5 min before or after the start time, the app opens what ever meeting tool you using or your phone app and connects you to the meeting. All other times it opens your calendar. That’s what we could do with an LCARS-type dynamic interface. The major difference is in how we use computers today vs how we used them when LCARS was dreamed up. Back then it was all about the flow of data, so all the context sensitivity in LCARS was about routing and flow. It would be much more PDA driven if reimagined today.

So I see a future where something like LCARS makes intuitive sense, but it would suite our way of using computers and not be so focused on data routing and flow.

Also helm control being LCARS would be terrible. Better to have a pilot with HOTAS controls and a navigator using LCARS, or else just have the ship limited to very slow bulky movements, and HOTAS in the shuttles and fighters. Maybe humans could adapt to touch screen piloting, but I don’t see how with so little feedback.

I know I’ve chosen to take lower paid jobs rather than work on Salesforce.

Salesforce advertised “No more developers” for awhile in the mid 2010s. It was great fun trying to clean up the mess all the “not programmers” made of those systems. I really hate Salesforce. They must have some of the best sales people on the planet.

Were you using dish soap like what gets bubbly in your sink? Or dishwasher detergent which does not get bubbly. Dishwasher detergent will probably be fine in a washing machine, same as your dish washer because it’s not supposed to foam up. But the soap you use in your sink will have terrible consequences in either a dish washer or washing machine.

Anywhere but stream. Their support system is awful in that there is no way to escalate issues outside of calling them out on social media and hoping the bad press catches someone’s attention.

It redirects, it doesn’t proxy. The workflow is: user navigates to URL->DNS sends it to cloudflare->cloudflare ensures request is allowed based on selected rules (human check, geo check, DDOS check, etc) and remembers->request is redirected to non-cloudflare address->server response goes direct from server to user browser->subsequent requests are redirected without the test as long as the cookie remembers. I don’t like cloudflare, every time I have an issue pop up out of nowhere, it’s usually cloudflare and some over eager netsec engineer that broke CORS, or decided css wasn’t important, or that machine to machine traffic was a DOS attack. But it’s not reading your statements or anything else the server sends back. It could conceivably read your username and password and any other data you send in your request, but it doesn’t have the TLS certificate. So even though it doesn’t even try, if CF decided to be nefarious, as long as your banks engineers are at least somewhat competent CF is only getting encrypted data that it can’t do anything with. Hate on CF all you want, but hate it for the right reasons.

I’m not sure what was going on, but a clear background can tell you a lot about a person. I’ve had a few interviewees that applied for US work with no sponsorship turn out to be not already in the US. Pretty sure they were trying to fake it long enough to get us to agree to sponsorship, or overlook the fact they weren’t in the US. The interviewees were both caught because of details in the background during the interview process. Weather and time of day outside the windows not matching where they claimed to live was one, the other was architecture that would be very atypical in a US home.

I think 200ms is an expectation of big tech. I know people have very little patience these days, but if you provided better quality searches in 5 seconds people would probably prefer that over a .2 second response of the crap we’re currently getting from the big guys. Even better if you can make the wait a little fun with some animations, public domain art, or quotes to read while waiting.

When you break a leg falling in a hole, you’re happy to start by getting a cast. Fixing the fundamental problem of there being a hole still needs to be fixed, but maybe you deal with the damage first.

Yes we also need to deal with the overwhelming costs associated with the profit motive of higher education. And the fact that many schools are sports teams with education as a side hustle. But I also think a bit of help to everyone drowning in debt would be a better use of our taxes

I think the first couple paragraphs sums up their position pretty well. Stop sending munitions to the Middle East and use that money to cancel student loans and invest in better education for all.

What’s the target use case for this? It seems too small to be useful as a laptop replacement, and isn’t really mobile without cellular radios. About the only purpose I can see is replacing pagers that are still used in medical facilities.

I thought Sokka and Katara’s last name was “of the southern water tribe”. That’s how he introduced himself a few times anyway.

Originally in my list then dropped because when I’ve offered this counter in the past I’ve had people argue that was originally a name. Regina and Reginald should have been in my list as well.
