The library hadn't had any updates in 2 years before this. Clearly it wasn't maintained. If you're a user and bothered by this super edge case "vulnerability", fork it and take on the responsibility yourself.

I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I'm hanging out in Squarespace land.

Too many industries are shitting on entry level employees now.. They're easy targets for layoffs and easy targets for AI, apparently. Now they're already complaining about the lack of quality talent.

The Great Resignation is effectively over. We’re now in the Great Talent Stagnation, where employers’ biggest concern is the lack of qualified applicants

If you don't invest in the next set of entry-level employees, you won't have the next set of qualified employees.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say "it couldn't have happened to a nicer company". I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

The things that make me a good programmer:

  1. I read error messages
  2. I put those errors in Google
  3. I read the results that come up

Even among my peers, that gives me a leg up apparently.

My current team runs weekly retrospectives using the Lean Coffee format. More and more, I find that the items people are bringing up aren't really important or could just be a question in Slack.

For example, someone recently made a topic for how we can test credit card payments. Another topic was navel gazing about how we use Jira and multiple team members asked "what's the problem you're hoping to solve?" to which the only answer was "That's not what I've seen elsewhere".

I'm beginning to think that there's something wrong with our format or prompts, in that we aren't identifying important issues for discussion. Perhaps the format is stale or there's no serious issues lingering each week?

Any advice on alternative formats, how to get better feedback, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

The fact that Google started as a search company and yet search in their own apps sucks is boggling.

In YouTube Music, when you're building a tuner to create a station, you can't search at all. Instead, you get an endless scroll off bands and have to find the one you want that way. The order is random.

Like .. Pandora let you do the same thing with search back in the 00's

Reuters has temporarily removed the article “How an Indian startup hacked the world” to comply with a preliminary court order issued on Dec. 4, 2023, in a district court in New Delhi, India.

Reuters stands by its reporting and plans to appeal the decision.

The article, published Nov. 16, 2023, was based on interviews with hundreds of people, thousands of documents, and research from several cybersecurity firms.

The order was issued amid a pending lawsuit brought against Reuters in November 2022. As set forth in its court filings, Reuters disputes those claims.

It's also disingenuous because they already decline to host sex workers newsletters. So if the censorship angle was true, they're already censoring.

These people don't even read their own literature. The Catholic church's ban on alchemy is about falsely claiming something is a valuable metal in order to pay for debts. It has nothing to do with the occult -- the ban was because it's a sin to lie / cheat / steal. A saint is even on record saying that alchemical gold is ok if the end if product is real gold.

With that context, of course God doesn't give a shit if you use SQLAlchemy as long as you aren't using it to defraud people. If you were defrauding people, it wouldn't matter what tool you used.

It shouldn't be OK and Media Matters will surely file for a change of venue. They're located in DC and Twitter in California. Heck, Twitters own TOS says that your use of the service is governed by California law, so any claim that they fraudulently used the service should be handled in California.

But activist judges are also known to deny motions for made up reasons, so Twitter starts in Texas in hopes an activist judge keeps the case there to "stick it to the liberals."

A recent pilot in Prague enabled Hosts on Airbnb to trial Minut noise sensors, and found a reminder can be all that’s needed for a potential noise issue to be quickly resolved

If a reminder is all that's needed, the device could be an offline decibel meter that lights up when the volume exceeds a threshold.

Plus I'm sure parents are going to love their phone blowing up when little Billy is a bit too cranky at bed time.

I worked at a firm that was regulated and audited by the SEC. The standard lesson from the compliance department was always to have potentially problematic conversations out loud instead of in email or Slack. They never needed encryption to avoid regulators.
