- romanows parentAh, you meant "sharing my e-mail addresses". Not the actual emails (the email contents) themselves.
- I've seen a few in Lakeview but my experience hasn't been entirely the same as yours. I haven't noticed blinding lights at night. They seem to move relatively slowly and cautiously.
I came upon one as I was jogging last night and was worried about getting around it. It, or someone driving it, seemed to notice me coming and it waited at a spot where it was easy to pass.
That said, these are a bad idea. Like another commenter mentioned, these are going to obstruct people with mobility issues or devices, or obstruct everyone when all but a narrow strip of sidewalk is snow and ice.
- I use Firefox Mobile Nightly on Android and appreciate it for the dark mode extension and ad blocking. There are some issues but the benefits outweigh them for me.
I don't even have a Home button that I can see, I must have turned it off in settings? I describe my tab count using scientific notation, though, so I'd be a "new tab" guy, anyway. But I'd also be a proponent of it being configurable.
- Kinda related, I wish there was an easy way to exclude dependencies at pip-install time and mock them at runtime so an import doesn't cause an exception. Basically a way for me to approximate "extras" when the author isn't motivated to do it for me, even though it'd be super brittle.
- Yes, but also "An... entity may not provide... therapy... to the public unless the therapy... services are conducted by... a licensed professional".
It's not obvious to me as a non-lawyer whether a chat history could be decided to be "therapy" in a courtroom. If so, this could count as a violation. Probably lots of law around this stuff for lawyers and doctors cornered into giving advice at parties already that might apply (e.g., maybe a disclaimer is enough to workaround the prohibition)?
- I think it is significant that this rambling channel supplements the yearly in-person meeting. Presumably, that's where one tends to form deeper social connections and get a feel for what different people find interesting to talk about? That is, if the team is varied enough so that there is little overlap in hobby interests or daily life.
- On my Android gmail app, when I reply to an email, there's very little on the screen at the start of the process. The pink-ish send button really stands out since everything else is grey text (I'm using dark mode). They show an image after the user has composed their message and also expanded the quoted previous email text, which is not really what the user's experience is like, so it's misleading IMO.
- Are you sure you're not thinking about Stack Overflow? I hate defending reddit ever since the API debacle, but there are scads of subreddits, many with different sets of mods, and all of the ones that help me with product reviews don't seem to have aggressive moderation?
Edit: for example, I was searching for woodworking design software this morning and got a lot of helpful-looking results from reddit.
- I just got back from watching the movie Casa Bonita Mi Amor, about the South Park guys buying a beloved Denver restaurant and refurbishing it. Costs ballooned from an estimated $6 million to $30+ million because it had been owned by a company that deferred maintenance for 30 years. Not sure if the business types would see this as a cautionary tale or as validation for coasting, though. The company that ran it into the ground probably extracted a ridiculous amount of profit...
- Do professional writers have to consider this "new reader" from a commercial point-of-view or is Stross just thinking about how he might adapt his writing to this group to be gracious towards them?
Not sure if there is some way to iterate given online feedback. Like, write a book from the pale, male, and stale point of view. Use an LLM to gather feedback on what people criticize. Then write almost the same book again, from the POV of a different character, taking into account interesting criticisms.
However, it may be better for a successful author to just get away from these hyper-online criticism spaces and write what they want to write, as long as they've got books lined up they're already excited to write.
- Maybe as there are more and more older programmers looking at partial-early retirement, part-time, lower-paid gigs might make sense? I could see working part time improving CI/CD, docs, refactoring, etc. Stuff that the main developers might not have time to do, is largely orthogonal to product development, but that may not get done otherwise.
- Not the OP, but if I thought we were all joking around, and it was the type of forum that allowed people to be a bit silly, I would let it stand. Or if I thought people on the forum would point out the danger and hopefully dissuade the poster and/or others from engaging in that behavior, I would let it stand.
However, if my hypothetical forum received a persistent flood of posts designed to soften people up to dangerous behaviors, I'd be pretty liberal removing posts that smelled funny until the responsible clique moved elsewhere.
