   That's one of the ways in which it is cheaper, yes. The touchscreen choice was made rationally, we just disagree on our priors ;-)

   Regardless of whether this is a good idea or not (and I'm in the latter camp to be honest), the docs page is _way_ too low contrast to be readable. I'm all for dark mode but I shouldn't have to be in a completely darkened room to be able to read the fine manual!

   At a previous role, we needed nanosecond precision for a simulcast radio communications system. This was to allow for wider transmission for public safety radio systems without having to configure trunking. We could even adjust the delay in nanoseconds to move the deadzones away from inhabited areas.

   We solved this by having GPS clocks at each tower as well as having the app servers NTP with each other. The latter burned me once due to some very dumb ARP stuff, but that's a story for another day.

   Many are! I live in NY and 511ny.org has a great view of all traffic cams in the state (and some beyond it, but I don't understand how they got on the list...)

   I believe they mean that Crowdstrike learned that they could screw up on this level and keep their customers....

   Exactly. Enron was a publicly traded company doing weird circular financing stuff. It was all in the open for anyone who cared to look. Just no one did until the music stopped...

   So relay operators must also moderate everything that goes through their relay? How?

   The links you shared talk only about spam. They do not talk about illegal content like CSAM.

   Unfortunately that link to the Zen of Palm PDF is broken (at least from my work machine). I couldn't find it in the Internet Archive either. Any suggestions?

   EDIT: Disregard, found it: https://archive.org/details/zen-of-palm

    Rather than it being meaningless to measure the quality of a UI, I meant that even a UI that tests well generally might not be the best UI for a particular person.

    Sure, but how well they do that for each individual person is, well, individual...

    Just FYI, that was Arthur C. Clarke. Douglas Adams is also extremely quotable, just that one wasn't his.

    I use Bitwarden on Android and on web and it is aware of app IDs and (usually) correctly maps them. If it's missing, you can force the mapping [yes this is moderately dangerous] and report it to Bitwarden so other users get the benefit.

    Android 16 (coming to Pixel 8 series if it's not there already) supports this.

    Altman can't fill that role for himself, I don't think he could do it for Ive...

    If you miss your database update or product launch deadline you can't get arrested for it (in the vast majority of cases). Yes, all deadlines are arbitrary, but the consequences for missing them are different for different deadlines!

    I think most folks are working with lies like, "I'm a people person," or "I am confident in this interaction," rather than "I have a PhD in $obscureField."

    "Fake it till you make it" seems to work OK for personal development. Not at all as a business plan!
