I did study math at university for a while. Dropped out eventually. In the beginning I was super annoyed by the brevity and hated it. But after like 3 months it suddenly became natural. I also appreciate the clarity of how mathematicians introduce new ways to write things. That is sometimes even more verbose than some random API docs for a new function…

Reads like an ad

And swarms

In the backpack community bellroy is often seen as “meh”. Eg. they frequently don’t live up to the guarantees they give and to the quality they promise. Also overpriced.

I avoid grass all together- especially in the woods.

The beauty of shipping a desktop app would be to not have to deal with that though… also those built in web views are usually older than average.

It should be noted that they use the term “medically necessary” which is a very low standard.

There is also “medically reasonable”.

For example getting your teeth cleaned professionally is not medically necessary. But it’s medically reasonable.

I don’t want a health insurance that only does “Medically necessary” things.

I don’t know but the us kidnaps ehhh arrests people on foreign land on a regular basis… and brings them to the US to stand trial. So if it’s “important” enough it will be aced upon…

Does this “Drop hack” work well with foreign keys, triggers and constraints?

They would start on a green field though… which makes it pretty efficient initially

I am using the latest version of their iOS app and only see my current version except for passwords.

It’s a system wide iOS feature and has been for a few years now

1Password gives you access to previous passwords you had for that reason.

Unfortunately not for other fields like email, notes etc…

IMHO the perfect password app could just keep all previous versions of any field until the user deletes the history.

I don’t understand the relevance of that link…

It was not only because of the name. I think a big part of the turn around was the non compliance by the passengers. They were asked to turn off all Bluetooth devices but did not.

I see what you are saying but then where do you draw the line? What if the wifi name is “fuck all pilots” - “united is doomed” or “we will all die”?

My iPhone automatically enabled reader mode - I disabled it to see what you are referring to and I agree…

Charge back usually never works… at least in my case the provider never actually did it because the seller was in good standing.

You increase prices by 20%

Yeah I agree with you here…

Haven’t we been burnt by being not cautious enough when COVID hit? Initially most scientists said “we don’t know if it’s airborne” or they said “there are no signs that it’s airborne” and the media turned it into “nothing flying fear” - and a few weeks later it was suddenly airborne.

“We don’t know” is a normal state in science and policies and personal behavior can take unknowns into consideration.

My main reason for not switching to mastodon:

Direct messages are a UX and privacy nightmare IMHO.

I think the law does not specify how the previously used prices are supposed to be displayed. In Germany grocery stores used to display it in the smallest possible font in a foot note.

They got sued, lost, and now they have to display it more transparently. Absent of EU specifics about how such prices have to be displayed, national courts can make their own rulings based on their national law.

A while ago I was seriously sick + in a hospital (for a few months). The doctors told me that I won't be able to resume my regular job (software engineer). At the same time I was in a lot of pain – unable to sit, walk, stand. It was not really clear how it all would end.

I got deeply depressed and just wanted to die. The pain was just too much - even with controlled pain medication in a hospital setup.

I called the German crisis hotline almost every night and they were usually very very helpful. They listened - sometimes for 1-2 hours. In 90% of my calls I felt way better after calling them. They really are well trained and some of the personalities I talked to were pretty impressive and interesting… They have seen a lot…

Carbon offsetting is risky. You plant a tree and you don’t know if it will die. You create a swampy area to absorb co2 and 10 years later it dries out due to global warming. Offsetting should be used if there is no other way to reduce emissions in the first place. Same is true for sucking carbon out of the air and storing it somewhere… it’s expensive and it should not be the default - we need offsetting and carbon segregation for the really unavoidable stuff

That’s what i meant. Thanks for reading my mind. :)

Everything has a price though… (I also use little snitch)

this is not true

Well the US government / prosecutors go after people who break their laws all the time… eg. Kim .Com, etc

In my previous company, we "simply" used fixed versions for our dependencies. And we had our own NPM registry that only had already approved packages for specific version. Approval required a security review by someone from the Security team… At first I was super annoyed by this. But I started to like this approach. It also reduced surprises while developing in a team… "it works on my machine" was rare since everyone was using the exact same versions. And moving to a newer version was done on a regular basis but it was an intentional thing we did.

I always found German unions pretty good.

I mean the union is correct in this case. Robots will replace jobs. A union’s job is to make sure there are jobs for people in the company they are already in.

Usually unions would speak the truth (“robots = jobs go away”) but pair this with some suggestions: eg trying to upskill the affected worker so that they can be moved to a different department).

While I was working in Germany I always felt better at a company with a strong union.
