Been having similar case with dev teams who have coded every error to be 500. User typed the wrong URL? 500. User tried to access a page without logging in? 500... Makes detecting real errors a pain

I once read the first 3 chapters of the Git book and my coworkers think I'm some kind of Git wizard

 

TLDR: Techbros in SF are wearing AI pins that record everything everyone says around them.

“My general sense is that we should assume we are being recorded at all times,” said Clara Brenner, a partner at venture capital firm Urban Innovation Fund. “Of course, this is a horrible way to live your life.”

Damn right it is. Every day one step closer to dystopia. Fuck this shit.

When I was a kid I encountered this problem when I wondered what would happen if I half-empty a bottle of soda, re-fill it with water, and repeat. Will it eventually become just water or will there always be some soda left? It boggled my mind for a while, then I forgot about it until I reached university calculus haha

Reading it in Spanish is a pain in the ass even for a native speaker, book is from the 1600s so you can imagine the language is really different to what it is today. I imagine there must be some version in "current language", but in school we were told to read the original and it was a pain, didn't get past the first quarter then and never tried reading it again

I was skeptic beforehand but actually I think it turned out pretty good

I mean you can set it so that only your friends see your posts. And they are French so I suppose they at least follow GDPR. But yeah, of course it collects your data and all that stuff like all social media

Haven't used Skype for years to talk to friends or family, but kept using it until now when I needed to call some place in my home country (usually banks) by "real" phone call, because support via internet either sucks or doesn't exist at all. Now looking for alternatives...

I have mixed feelings about that company. They have some interesting things "going against the flow" like ditching the cloud and going back to on prem, hating on microservices, advocating against taking money from VCs, and now hiring juniors. On the other hand, the guy is a Musk fanboy and they push some anti-DEI bullshit. Also he's a TypeScript hater for some reason...

"Buying storage and compute services from Lidl" is a wild sentence I never thought I'd say haha

We're all gonna end up in one of those aren't we...

 

They turned around a 3-0, and won in penalties (6-5, went to sudden death)

I think more leagues should have relegation playoffs. One last chance of salvation for the upper team, one last chance of promotion for the lower team, and a thrilling game for the neutral fans.

 

So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that's it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app.

Now, I know this is not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But I'm just tired of this trend of replacing perfectly functioning systems with apps (public transport tickets come to mind). Just more ways to harvest people's data, I guess...

Ah and by the way, in my previous gym they not only required an app for accessing the place, they also incentivized people to track their workouts, meals and bodyweight using the gym's app (of course I never used any of these features).

 
 

Context: the creator of Linux is from Finland

 

They keep this 20+ year old laptop around because it has a serial port and every now and then that comes in handy.

You can't really see it in the picture but the laptop is pretty thick and heavy.

 

The news was already posted here last week, but I found this great technical explanation of the flaw. Long story short: Apple is using bad cryptography. They got alerted by researchers back in 2019 but didn't fix it.
