I read an article about this recently, but can’t find it to officially cite it. However, the thrust was something like this:

Despite unemployment being low, the reality is that many of those “thousands of positions” are either geographically-distributed duplicates of the same position, eternally-open cattle calls, or open-but-basically-a-formality for either getting a visa or an internal move. This makes the number of actual openings quite opaque, yet much smaller than it appears.

Companies announcing that they’re not going to do work, and actively doing work to hamper said platform (e.g. Netflix disabling the iPad app from working on the VisionPro) sure comes across that way.

You don’t usually announce a wait-and-see approach. You just wait.

This feels like a calculated, possibly coordinated attack.

> What’s the actual impact of this, if you can just use the website?

Go ahead and try that at 17,000ft. Might not have a particularly good experience… or any experience at all.

…unless you want to watch offline. Say, for example, on a plane.

Record labels spring immediately to mind.

It’s in quotes because it’s not a literal file, per se. But HR will keep records of termination reasons.

So, if a prospective employer contacts Cloudflare and asks why she was terminated and Cloudflare says “performance” when that’s not actually the case, it’s detrimental to the potential employer’s perception of her.

And very seldom suffer themselves for their choices.

Not exactly, but you can combine unicode glyphs for a simulacrum: Ƭ̵̬̊

I’ve known several people whose surname was Van<something> who simply went by “Van”.

They were all older gents, but it’s not outside the realm of plausibility that “Van” could be what van Sabben was called. :)

I’m still holding out for the Diamond Age.

Autocomplete got worse because the new system in iOS17 didn’t retain training data from prior versions. It reset everyone back to untrained. I’ve been manually correcting specialized language I use daily (e.g. “iRacing”) on my 12 (non-pro) since iOS17 release, and now it gets it correct 99.5% of the time.

So, rather than turning it off, manually correct the incorrect completions and use the suggested words bar frequently and it will learn how you type. It’s just having to start over after tossing out several OSes worth of training that makes it feel worse.

Plus, Netflix isn’t even Apple’s customer. It’s actually kinda the other way around: Apple’s customers are what Netflix wants access to, as a source of potential Netflix customers.

That should be the only tab. The other is 100.0% misleading.

Dupe. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38466161

Oooh! Self-own! Those are rare!

That’s still 980 short of “mega”.

Aha!

Sort of like Vader showing off the Death Star on Alderaan.

I’m so white-hat that I didn’t consider that interpretation.

One hole in that theory is that Blender didn’t explicitly mention what DDoS-mitigation service they’re using, so no particular service is getting any advertising/exposure benefit from the attack.

Because the people who lost files are the product Google sells (to advertisers), not the customer.

Then you get https://chirper.ai.

You know that know-it-all should be hyphenated, right?

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. No! I hope that was sarcasm. DRM for everything else so far is already a mistake. Do not put that evil on me, RickyBobby.

Sorta? Alt-uparrow navigates to the parent directory. (Also, Alt-left/right arrow will move back and forth through your folder history.) Ctrl-Tab/Ctrl-Shift-Tab will switch among next/previous tabs.

Alas, the universe can stay unjust longer than we can stay conscious.

The industry term for that middle ground is a “moat”, and the people who are most familiar with it are getting paid for what they know, so they’re not giving it away.

Correct, I was indeed using an attached keyboard. And I also wouldn’t expect the soft kb to behave properly either on the iPad or a phone.

He can eat glass. It does not harm him.

Despite the warning that it might not work on mobile, it works quite well on my iPad… that said, a few of the monster fights happened at just over postage-stamp resolution.

Super fun little game.

Tiktok is just full-screen Vine.
