Maciej announced on twitter that he would be taking the year 2022 off [1]. I have not had any issues with pinboard but I also only use it occasionally.

DevOps has in my experience become full stack + server maintenance + misc tool development.

I am pretty surprised that all the options from https://xkcd.com/1813/ are not there.

Most of the time when I am just coding on my personal or small emacs lisp packages I really like the convenience of anaphoric functions.

I have never seen an example of if-let that made me understand it, but I see thread-first and thread-last, those may be useful.

Thanks!

When it comes to f and s. Yes. Definitely, I do not want them and I do not need them.

I like dash because it gives me the convenience of threading macros and anaphoric functions. Are there options for those in compat/emacs standard?

Recent subscription price increase with no noticeable increase in content quality or availability, I am in Denmark, makes me reconsider my netflix subscription. Although I do need to watch Better Call Saul so they have me for that long.

Probably not related to password sharing at all and I do not think it is likely to increase subscriptions.

I will probably never pirate again, but I am considering getting out of streaming services and just put the money towards patreons of internet creators I like instead.

Searched my inbox and I cannot find anything like this. But it does seem I need to make some changes. Lucky for me I only ever used email mostly because it is convenient. Odd that they haven't sent me anything.

IOCCC is still running https://www.ioccc.org/

It is not exactly the same but it has a lot of the same vibe.

Starting with a motivation can be great especially if it lights my butt on fire. This one sort of demotivated me by telling me exactly what it looks like when I fail.

Then it told me to continue doing that but write it down when I do, creating a reference of failing attempts at reading a book.

What a strange piece of advice.

It is very convenient for your friends/family to be able to get your phone number from your facebook profile.

I have used it a few times to contact people for whom immediate contact was preferable to facebook post/message.

Most of my emacs hacking I find time to do in my free time amounts to work related org-mode extensions.

I love seeing stuff like this. Emacs is the true bicycle for the mind.

Making a large profit and growing 100X every month is very hard with an emacs package. You must understand that the only reason to develop software is to make an obscene amount of money?

They should pivot this package to crosswords as a service and ensure growth, maybe seek some funding while they are at it.

The first is an opinion from the author, the other is a quote said in a meeting by a marketing person.

The difference is what their goal is and what they can actually legally do.

It is illegal to market to kids, however it is not illegal to sell products which kids want.

They probably do, but it is not essential to the functionality so it can work even if auth fails.

Fingerprinting happens separately because then they can identify you even if you are not using your own computer or are in incognito. Login is just a convenient way for you to tell them who you are.

It looks like it is related to authentication, landing pages seem to be working, so going incognito you can still use youtube.

I would guess the search page does not actually use your credentials for anything since fingerprinting is separate from login?

A recent video by youtuber We're in hell actually covers this quite well imo:

The presentation he gave on it is lovely.

I found this link[1] Which links the US store directly.

[1] https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_buds

Accessing the link from Denmark just takes me to a generic google products landing page with no mention of a Google Pixel Bud.

Found this page https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_buds which links specifically to the US store where I can see the price (for the US) and specs.

Most of this was developed way before the pandemic started. Not launching would be wasted effort and you might end up looking like you are lagging behind phonemakers that announced/launched before the pandemic.

Gadgets are seen as a status symbol in some groups, having the newest thing could be more desirable than paying rent to some. There is also still a large group of people that were not laid off, they still want that money.

I do not know about the logistics of manufacture and shipping, there might be a shortage after they sell though the initial launch stock.

This is something I have been thinking about a lot lately, the way stuff gets to me. This might actually be what I was thinking about.

Exciting times when something you thought you would have to build falls in your lap.

I might contribute to this, thanks for making it :)

Picture in picture was a feature I didn't know I wanted all along.

I often had a window open only playing a youtube video, having it be native to the browser and always on top is such a great feature.

Was thinking this video was very Casey Neistat especially the way it is oragnised, and then he shows up.

Pilot makes the Pilot Petit 1 which is a fountain pen that is tiny, although posted it actually has a nice size.

I have had a set of three for about 2 months and they never seem to be dry, unlike some other fountain pens I have used.

The only caution I can give is that their blue-black ink seems to flow very poorly.

They can be gotten on ebay with refills for a reasonable price.

It looks like ArchiveTeam[1] already has a lot of SF archived.

"IE 8 and up."

I feel like a Machinema channel could simply make a review of the Microsoft Squared Square and the Sony Fun-VCR, and still be within the boundaries of the contract right?

Comparing the good points of the two Glossy Blu-Ray Players would make a good comparison of the two I believe.

This is of course an old joke from bash.[1]

At a glance I thought this was a book on cooking for developers, this idea pleased me. I think when I finally finish being lazy I might write a book about cooking meant for developers.

A book on Chef is also cool.

This site is completely unreadable at least on my iPad, why is tweeting and Facebooking more important than the content!?
