YouTube shorts is the worst. I want nothing to do with them, but I consume a lot of longform content on YouTube. On a regular basis, I find myself scrolling through shorts without even realizing it. i’ve tried all sorts of things to hide them, but from what I’ve seen it’s impossible.

I don't understand how people are angered by this. I understand that it may be difficult to plan, but in the end, we're getting more without being charged. No-one's forcing folks to use up credits. Take it for the bonus it is.

Point to another source that does it as well or better. The problems might have been solved, but it seems the majority of the industry continues to ignore them.

That said, I’ve been using Niri with Noctalia for months now, and I’m continuously delighted by the lack of astonishing behavior.

Truly. The number of times I’ve been surprised by something on newer macOS versions and thought: “I think this used to go against the human interface guidelines” is crazy. IMO: the first major sign of the downfall was when stealing focus on OS X became common.

Jobs had no problem calling BS on annoying behavior. Unfortunately we’ve completely lost that, and Apple is no longer the bastion of usability that it once was.

Then Sony should never have offered these assets for sale, because they never had the right to sell them!

If they use anything that can be classified as a "digital lock" to enforce the policy, section 1201 of the DMCA comes into play. That includes potential criminal liability, resulting in fines and/or jail time as described by section 1204.

Not exactly what you're describing, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Second_After kinda fits the vibe. Warning: it's really depressing, but a good read if you're in the right head space for it.

Hopefully Anthropic's legal team will force an answer to that question shortly.

This is one of the most wholesome and awesome things I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing!

From dictionary.cambridge.org: a dishonest plan for making money or getting an advantage, especially one that involves tricking people:

I can easily see a social media company demanding an ID falling under this definition if the accuser believes that the actual use of said ID will be different or more expansive than implied. That is not an unreasonable assumption, IMO.

There’s a lot of pain and anger in this reply. I’m sorry you have had to experience whatever has led you here.

And yet, at the end of the day, I always sleep better knowing that I put the effort in to be a good person, even if it didn’t work out the way I’d hoped.

I get the cynicism; it’s easy to feel like the world is just full of uncaring people sometimes. But, does adding one more help?

We’re in dire need of this right now. The number of people that I work with who refuse to pick up new tools and technologies is astounding. If they _do_ try something new, they seem to avoid all but the most basic knowledge of whatever it is, and look at me crosseyed if I suggest going the slightest bit deeper (`git add -p` rather than `git add .`, for example).

There’s also a browser extension which does the same thing, but attempts to be a bit more content-aware: https://popupoff.org

Bundles of reusable code for commonly performed operations that lead to dependency hell and supply chain attacks.

The better place to spend time might be the automation of operational tasks on those servers so that logging in isn’t necessary in the first place. Then you don’t have to leave your home environment and you can run whatever custom editing configuration you want. Of course the other upsides to that automation overshadow this a bit.

Anecdotally, I have preferred it to sucralose, because sucralose leaves an aftertaste akin to gargling with liquid plastic.

I’m legitimately curious about what you enjoy and why. Rewriting boiler plate code and trying to ensure that I get everything right with a process I don’t often execute is the very definition of toil to me.

I would love to know what software Atlassian uses to maintain documentation, because I have a hard time believing they’re eating their own dog food.

I’m currently working on migrating Java code from mid-range systems to containers in the cloud. The number of code changes required is near zero. They may not have gotten portability perfectly solved, but it’s pretty darn good compared to many other platforms.

Now, if the industry could just get out of the ridiculous Java 8/11 rut, we’d be in good shape.

Ugh, this has become a huge issue with text editing controls. More and more, I find that content gets unloaded once it’s out of the editor’s viewport, making the browser’s built-in search fail.

Having make doesn't help much if you don't have the commands that it's calling.

Any chance you could provide links to documentation around that? I haven't been able to find anything definitive about exactly what's required and what's enabled by default.

Unless your company forces you to use Windows, which is still much more common than many would like to admit. And yes, WSL exists, but in my experience, if a company is unwilling to allow macOS, there’s a good chance they either don’t allow enabling HyperV, or the security software they use is such garbage that it results in a HyperV enabled system being effectively unusable.

Panther was peak OS X. Spotlight, in Tiger, was amazing, but Tiger’s performance was significantly worse.

Perhaps I missed it, but I’m amazed I didn’t see any mention of Maltron here:

They’re expensive, and the other options mentioned may be better, but I feel like they should be included for completeness’ sake at the very least.

…but does the hiring manager? They probably don’t want to deal with the political issues that arise from that situation. Besides, if someone has that capability, they’re looking for an architect position themselves.

Now that’s an interesting comment. I’ve been buying Audible books on the iOS app as long as I can remember (both in dollars and using credits). I had to double-check to see if I was crazy or misremembering.

Perhaps it’s because I have a membership that they’re allowed to bypass the Apple store somehow? I never thought about it until just now.

If they bother. The vast majority of appointments I’ve had, in recent memory, are the provider typing a bit on their laptop, then sending me to someone else.

That’s a big breaking change around a brand new feature. I’m sure it could be done well, but it gives me the shivers.
