This is a really good article and refreshing to see this being recognized as the double edged sword it is (albeit with one edge much sharper than the other). It will be interesting to see how different organizations deal with this. The temporary interaction limitation will be a bandaid in some cases but the deluge will just keep coming.

I’ve been interested in Mitchell Hashimoto’s new trust tooling. I’m not sure it will become a standard, but is a very interesting attempt, and dead simple.

You saying she’ll be president in a few years? Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Goddamned right. There were several years when I’d let it go, because Netflix and the like were providing a good, fairly priced service. When they finally gave me the fuck you, I cancelled it on my 10th anniversary as a customer, along with every other streaming service. Took me a minute to get back in the swing, but the salty sea air is so nice again.

I think he, like many, mistakenly think Iran is like other countries in the region that the US bullied in recent decades. He probably doesn’t listen to his command staff much, who no doubt tell him this is a foe much greater than you suspect.

Subterfuge there is one thing, but outright aggression is going to be very painful for everybody involved.

Oh yeah. Fair enough. I was thinking more “skilled”.

It is the basis of visas around the world, bad as that may be.

There are many good methods. They aren’t hard to learn as long as you can memorize a few 7-10 move algorithms.

For people recommending using screwdrivers and sticker peeling, they’re actually much easier than that to disassemble and reassemble. Turn one face 45 deg. Pop an edge up. The whole thing will fall apart. Tougher to assemble but not too bad. Only problem is you have a 2/3 change to accidentally assemble an unsolvable corner rotation and a 50% chance to assemble an unsolvable edge flip. Both are easily fixed if you can spot it by flipping any edge and rotating any corners once or twice as needed, but then if you’re able to spot it, you already know that.

Yes, the Petrus method is my preferred. It is of course suboptimal these days at the highest level but still, I believe, the most logical to reason about.

What’s your question?

Oh you’re definitely right about that. I’m just saying the default position, in my view, should not be to assume duress.

Agreed but he’d still be a spring chicken in modern terms. I’d rather see max age 50 than min age 35.

I’m not accusing you of a crime, just being presumptuous and puritanical.

 

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it celebrates the harvest and can be treated as a day for gratitude. My family also calls it T. Hanks Giving and celebrates by eating pie and watching Tom Hanks movies.

I’m thankful for many things, this year my puppy. He has been great for my family and my mental health personally. For what are you thankful?

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

 

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

 

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

 

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.

 

When you copy the URL for sharing in YouTube, it adds a query parameter now, so=blah, for tracking the source. This removes that. It could of course be smarter and stop at either the end or the next parameter, but since I haven’t seen any extras, I just remove everything after.

 

I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so... any great documentaries are welcome.

 

Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing.

It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever.

This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place.

Yours aye, Sane People
