Same in the NY/NJ/PA tri-state. Ahead of the 4th a NY state trooper sits in the parking lot of the Phantom Fireworks in Matamoras, presumably calling in NY plates for their buddy to go pull over.

We just took the back roads home instead of the highway.

... on my Macbook Max M5 128 GB

Local development for who? How many of y'all are rocking 128GB of memory? Am I reading Apple's site correctly that it's a $10,000 laptop?

Piracy isn't stealing regardless of whether or not buying is owning.

This kind of behavior is never tolerated in the market. Your revenue is flat; they lay you off. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Your revenue is down, right to layoffs, right away. Revenue grows but less than guidance? Layoffs. Record revenue exceeding guidance? Believe it or not, layoffs.

I have an unhealthy relationship with it.

You really, really do. Please, for your own benefit, take a step back and touch grass, literally. There is so much more to this world than Github of all things.

Every day, multiple times per day, for over 18 years... During my honeymoon while my wife is still asleep? Yeah, GitHub

This is addiction

Ironically, LLMs are especially good at evaluating documents to assess the degree that an LLM assisted their creation

Is there any evidence for this?

Two different numbers, no? The resignation posts specifies 110 customer meetings, the blog post you linked to about meetings during odd hours does not.

Unfollow all of your connections

I hate that this is the only option available. I want to follow my connections, for their own posts, if any. What I don't want is to see everything they like, share, and comment on -- but LinkedIn won't let you turn that part off.

Because nginx, as an HTTP server, could answer the query?

The ACME provider makes a query to the DNS server to validate the record exists and contains the right "funny string". Parent's question was whether that query is/can be made via DoH.

They don't use Godaddy directly. Godaddy is the registry for .us. Zoom's registrar is MarkMonitor, who appear to be at fault for this outage.

Wow, that edit is something. Post something inflammatory that will garner engagement, then turn it into your own "I'm hiring" post once it's on the front page.

Quality hack.

You can't just be in your codebase and start doin' technical debt like that. 1a. Technical debt is when you... 1b. Okay, wait. Technical debt is when you write code but, like, the kind of code that you know Future You is gonna hate. 1c. Let me try this again.

1c-a. It's when you're coding and you think, "I'll fix this later," but then later turns into never. And now there’s spaghetti code in a project that was supposed to be a sleek pipeline.

1c-b. Like, imagine you're about to refactor something, but you go, "You know what? The deadline's tight, so I’m just gonna... not." That’s technical debt.

1c-b(1). If you're writing code and you think, "Wow, I hope no one sees this commit message," congratulations, you’ve accrued technical debt.

1c-b(2). It’s like leaving a TODO comment, except the TODO becomes, “Oops, it’s been in production for three years.”

1c-b(2)-a. You can write a clever workaround here, but the workaround has to work around the workaround of the workaround from three sprints ago.

1c-b(2)-b. Also, don't forget to include an inline comment that says, "This should be fine for now," which is developer code for “This is the next intern’s problem.”

1c-b(2)-b(i). Fun fact: the "for now" phase lasts forever, and the fix will never be fine.

1c-b(3). Seriously though. Technical debt is when your code does the thing but not in the way anyone would ever want it to. And if your app suddenly catches fire during peak traffic, that’s just the interest being collected.

    Do not do technical debt, please.

service providers who are willing host/facilitate illegal activities

At least for NFL pirate streams, it seems they tend to use "burner" tenants from Azure and AWS. Of course they get shut down, but how hard is it to spin up another one?

And they end up repeating slots of content in all the rows in their UI, so I end up seeing the same suggestions everywhere rather than much that's new

All of the streaming services do this and I hate it. Netflix is the worst of the bunch, in my experience. I already scrolled past a movie, I don't want to watch it, don't show it to me six more times.

Imagine walking through a Blockbuster where every aisle was the same movies over and over again.

How were they selling a dollar for 80 cents? The actual food is more expensive on grubhub than ordering through the restaurant, and then there are multiple fees on top of that.

What's the point of having a custom domain name if you're just going to use a dynamic IP address?

Registering DHCP leases in the DNS, maybe? There's nothing contradictory between a custom domain and dynamic addresses.

This might be the inspiration I need to write up my homelab. I think it's otherwise suitable for /r/cablegore

I tried migrating our markdown docs-as-code to use Docusaurus, we have somewhere around several hundred pages, and the build times seemed very long (5-10 minutes) compared to a simple bespoke python-based static site generator. Is that common in people's experience with docusaurus or perhaps there was an opportunity for optimizing or making it more efficient?

Ted Kaczynski didn't bomb the federal government though.

I'd also be curious about a citation for his motivation being the MK Ultra experiments, it's news to me that he ever explicitly called those as a motive.

The new internet, an overlay network on top of the existing internet. Cool?

This is also why I prefer pneumatic cannons to combustion

Strange, since combustion based cannons tend to reach about 30 to 40 psi at most, while pneumatic easily can reach 100 psi.

The four square sheet? Yes they still do it because it's how they manipulate buyers. It's not random, it's very intentional.

If someone steals my card, and uses it to pay for Netflix, how will I log in and cancel?

You dispute the charge, just like any other unauthorized transaction. That's quite different than changing your card number under their feet, and will be received as such by Netflix.

It's only not in your favor if you changed your card to cancel Netflix specifically, in which case you should've just logged in and canceled.

YouTube Music was better when it was Google Play Music, before they tried being a Spotify clone.

This was less than a month ago: 85,000 homes without power in one metro area, many of them for 2 or 3 full days.

Most of the US Northeast is at risk of major power outages during strong storms, especially early/late nor'easters which bring ice and heavy wet snow.

I guess you could say the US is not a first world country if you want to throw shade, but I'm not buying it.

So a space heater, not a fireplace.

If you ask the average person what the company 3M does, odds are if they have a few gray hairs hanging out on their scalp, they might say that the company makes floppy disks.

That's crazy, I wouldn't think anyone would first and foremost associate 3M with floppies instead of adhesives, even those with a few grays like myself.

They make post-its for chrissake, and we're gonna pretend they're most known for floppies?

The people complaining that Cloudflare hosts these criminals would be the first ones complaining that Cloudflare has too much power when taking down websites it doesn’t like.

It'd be interesting if you could point to a single example of someone taking both sides. I strongly doubt these are the same people.
