The reason you like it is the same reason people in customer service like it, too, they can do their job with less effort and coast on middling skill for longer.

Makes you wonder if they asked their agent to formally prove it with TLA+ and it just responded that it had performed the proofing.

It's the old infinite monkeys typing on type writers except now it displaces an entire industry and the only people profiting are the ones holding the tech that powers it.

Not sure if there are multiple products called "Timelines" but I can access my timeline on maps.google.com just fine and it has all my latest data.

I feel you. I've written quite a lot of Common Lisp over the years and I've tried to show off its capabilities to co-workers, often in comparison to the language used that that job.

Often I just get "huh, that's neat, now let's get back to mining the coalface".

I think the biggest issues involved around knowledge/skills/intelligence being potentially linked to genetics is that it often draws the eugenics proponents into the discussion and it's obvious how that conversation ends.

Even in binary you can see patterns. Not saying it's perfect to show binary diffs (but it is better than showing nothing) but I know even my slow mammalian brain can spot obvious human readable characters in various binary encoding formats. If I see a few in a row which doesn't make sense, why wouldn't I poke it?

Pure speculation but my guess is a specific state actor ahem is looking for developers innocently working with open source to then strongarm them into doing stuff like this.

Most editors these days should have "rename" functionality which is very aware of how that symbol is used across a codebase.

M-x lsp-rename in emacs, for example works great, if you're using lsp.

I find the standard blackbox_exporter far too limiting and static so I wrote an exporter which queries DNS zones from the Google API and creates targets dynamically from that.

It also has a feature which will query internal databases to find expected targets (kinda like service discovery). This covers more specific checks than what the DNS-based targets will provide.

These together mean that essentially no endpoint in our infrastructure is missing from being monitored in some fashion.

The exporter performs SSL checks (lifetime remaining etc) as well as providing HTTP/TCP latency metrics.

Not American but I can't stand using the toilet in places which don't have bidets. I feel disgusting and it ruins my day completely. I'd rather be uncomfortable and wait til I'm home or not go out.

I think this mostly comes down to whether applications can handle downtime if their workloads are restarted, scale up/down based on demand.

It happens shockingly often that applications only support working with a single replica and even worse when those applications cannot run concurrently with replicas of themselves which prevent smooth rolling updates.

IME if applications are fault tolerant of restarts, or support concurrent replicas then scaling up and down to meet demand is absolutely fine.

I wonder if it's related to the fact stoners are likely to go to bed on time.

That's just kicking the can over to an object storage API instead of managing disks.

https://victoriametrics.com/ would definitely recommend anyone having performance issues with Prometheus to give VictoriaMetrics a try.

My daughter is bilingual too. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

I need to read up more on this because in my extremely small sample size this kind of dual naming understanding came in really early with my daughter.

I feel like it's a linguistic subtlety that us adults are struggling with conveying the exact concept.

I didn't even know "class inclusion" was a thing really. Though obviously the concept makes sense.

My daughter had a solid grasp of it definitely around 16-18 months. She could easily talk about books or toys, cars, food, drinks etc.

Not sure if this is unusual but 7-8 as the other poster mentioned sounds crazy late for that kind of conceptual understanding to appear.

Wrong. Just plain wrong.

TVR back in the day was literally for British hooligans. The car was built on a small scale in Blackpool of all places to compete with much higher-end manufacturers.

The fact that the end game for TVR was handled so poorly doesn't and should never retroactively change what the company's mission was, which was to build powerful British-style sports cars for enthusiasts.

Being a Blackpool lad myself - the first day I saw a TVR Tuscan roll out of the Bispham factory will be something I never forget.

They were working class heroes back in the day. They were approaching affordable for a lot of people, raw, powerful and styled in an otherworldly way.

The loss of TVR is a loss for all car enthusiasts. I don't think we'll see another manufacturer like them.

In other words: it is software.

Oh, I know they exist already.

> Most likely Snapchat's E2EE is just a facade, they probably have a dictionary of "funny" words on the device (and/or the server) and automatically flags the message in the internal systems when certain stopwords are being used.

Reminds me of whenever I used to phone a friend during my teenage years I would always start with "BOMB QUEEN, BOMB QUEEN."

Interesting. I've been mulling around in my head a shell which embeds a Lisp. Well aware the idea isn't particularly ground breaking but I do love the idea of better languages embedded right within the shell, but not quite a REPL for that language.

CanyonaroooooooooooO!

Which ARM server would that be?

I obviously can't speak for all engineers but I've certainly refused to work on dark patterns and explicitly told leadership why I believe they are dark patterns.

I appreciate that not everyone has that luxury and ultimately it's an empty gesture because of course at some point, someone's morals will be overcome with money, or threats but on an individual level we do have agency.

Speak for yourself.

My honest hot take is that we made computers too easy to use.

I appreciate how liberating computers and the internet can be for a lot of people but it has been far too easy to implement dark control through them.

I use two laptops.

This one.
