You're saying there's a github API that takes as an argument a secret, and creates a git commit containing that secret? I'm very surprised. Can you provide a reference to the API call?

The UAE for example has laws that some interpret as being anti-VPN, with some also using it to get around anti-VoIP laws in that country, but the enforcement of that is pretty much weak.

If you’ve a computer to run it on, I highly recommend trying Roon out as a superior alternative to Spotify connect.

Like, how can he be so pessimistic when Grim Fandango was released some years ago?

The game design advices seems fine though.


If somebody's kid dies from polio or whatever, there's no solving that by talking about feelings. Scientists and doctors can make sure it doesn't happen again but we're talking about the way parents reacted, or didn't react, to trauma. If in fact they generally didn't talk about it and just soldiered on, that was an effective method of dealing with it. Better than spending years in therapy crying about it, as seems to be fashionable these days, which won't bring their kid back. And particularly, moving on without dwelling on the past seems better for the surviving children than the parents becoming overprotective (the thesis of this discussion, if I've understood it.)

this is a poor statement. the cost is not in dispute, but the bearer of it.

historically car owners need to pay for repairs.


United States did actually support Hitler up to a point. USSR boycotted the Olympics in 1936 - United States participated. IBM sold stuff to Hitler, as did Ford and General Motors. Henry Ford was a big fan of Hitler, and his views on the Jews. The US-Nazi Germany trade did not fully cease until 1941, about the same time when Soviet trade with Nazi Germany ceased because Germany broke the pact and attacked. In fact, as far as I can tell, all European countries without any exceptions traded with Hitler all the way until at least 1939, or in some cases even later. Some nominally "neutral" countries, such as the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and some others, traded with Nazi Germany throughout the war. Your point is?

The first reason is because if we supported ts features that require transformation (such as enume) we would also need to support sourcemaps, so in the first iteration I decided not to, to avoid being overwhelmed. Right now we replace inline types with whitespace, so locations are preserved. We plan to add those features, probably behind a flag at the beginning. We need to move in small steps and think very carefully, every decision could make a huge impact on the ecosystem so I decided to start with the smalled subset possible.

I have the “wireless” powered kef ls50 and the regular ones.

The wireless model has significantly better bass response and sounds much better to my ear.

I actually had a fault with them recently and they stopped working, I’d bought the speakers used on ebay and even had I had a warranty they were past 5 years old by the point the fault developed. Regardless, kef repaired them entirely for free. 10/10 would buy again.

My ISP deployed ipv6 via serving ULAs to clients behind the ISP box, and doing a NAT to a single dynamic public IP.

Another one just blocks all incoming connections on ipv6 entirely.

> Regardless though why would it potentially being higher in newer architectures be viewed as a good thing?

Because SMT getting faster is a nearly free side-effect. We didn't add extra units to speed up SMT at the cost of single-thread speed. We added extra units to speed up the single thread, and they just happened to speed up SMT even more (at least for the purpose of this theoretical). That's better than speeding up SMT the same percent, or not speeding up SMT at all.

Imagine if I took a CPU and just made SMT slower, no other changes. That would be a bad thing even though it gets the speedup closer to 0%, right? And then if I undo that it's a good thing, right?


Worth every penny.

it's not a problem specific to any kind of corporation or corporations per se, but organizations or even broader, solutions.

though, do you really think that having a solution to a problem is worse than just having the problem?


Big tech is not inherent in the concept of a tech industry. Big tech is like 6 companies that want to swallow the world. Not being able to separate these two concepts is grade school level literacy and critical thinking. It’s not acceptable to conflate them. It’s completely ridiculous.

In practically any situation here, you're probably misfiling your taxes and therefore one of the high-wealth folks this article is about. If you have a 7-figure earned income, you're going to be taxed at a 28% marginal rate even if your AGI is negative, because of the AMT.

The article does not seem to cover that question. From previous discussions I have the impression that foreigners are not granted any constitutional rights at the border or even when in their home country (their communication can be freely intercepted). So the US is nowadays on my personal list of totalitarian states that I don't want to travel to. They definitely have better legislation and courts than Russia or North Korea, but in the end the decision is, as a foreigner you don't have those rights, the government does what it sees fit.

Many have gone down the agonizing process of searching for the best way to coexist with this abomination of networking gear that AT&T has given us.

Let me save you all some heartache, and you'll be able to throw the BGW320 in the trash - literally.

Maybe they just made a mistake.

Yes. Everyone has set targets and expectations, which imply a certain product strategy, that are all completely at odds with everything Apple has indicated. Then, they call AVP a failure for. It meeting those set expectations. It’s not all that impressive to win an argument when you get that much freedom over framing things without much regard for the realities.

I'm responsible for managing a small macOS fleet at $DAYJOB and I've struggled with installing software since day 1. I'm a developer and use Homebrew almost daily on my own machine and I love it, I just can't believe I never thought of using it to manage software on my fleet. I've been using the tools that the MDM provided, some of which are great and work well and some of which are just terrible. Usually, this involves me creating some number of custom Bash scripts just to install and configure the software. And how did I not know about the `brew bundle` command and "Brewfile" files?!?

This article is about Workbrew, a "professional" Homebrew, and I'm pretty excited about giving it a try. This could seriously save me tons of time and frustration. Have you ever tried to install and configure Carbonite on the CEO's computer? It's not fun. Hopefully Workbrew can make this easy. :fingers_crossed:


I used funtoo a bit back in the day, and have seen a few of the development videos that drobbins posted. While some funtoo features have been backported to portage and gentoo (git support in portage, distribution kernels), I wish more would be. Funtoo had some higher-level ebuild generation utilities and similar nice things that I wish would eventually be made more generally available.

Out of the nice utilities that funtoo has, keychain is the only one I've seen become available across all distributions, and I use this on every single machine. It's less of a necessity now that systemd can handle gpg-agent and ssh-agent unlocking on login, but I've never been able to figure out how to set that up, keychain is very set-and-forget. It just works.

Good question, if you set any obvious power limit in the BIOS to say 10-20% below the advertised TDP*, would that bring the actual voltages down or would it just underclock the CPU but still use the same dangerous voltages?

Or do you need to go through every obscure voltage setting and bring it down? Will even that be obeyed?

* which has no connection to the real TDP but at least it will tell the CPU ... something ...


Aren’t they just saying that they effectively they ended up paying what they owed earlier than they would have otherwise.

That Doesn’t sound like “getting over on the IRS”



Apple has had other misses. They themselves cancelled the iPhone mini. There was the newton, quite similarly a product that the technology level was not quite ready for but they had great success with later. They constantly screw up with the Mac pro, introducing one version and then letting it whither away for many years.
