I bought two different Bluetooth controllers from them. The first one had a known issue with the shoulder buttons. Like an idiot, I bought a second one. Same problem. SteelSeries support told me it was a known issue and they wouldn’t do shit.

I refuse to support SteelSeries.

Part of this is because the article’s author pushes a lot of sensationalist content to drive traffic to their Rust book(s). I remember similar articles several times over the last year, at least one of which was a thinly disguised ad for the Black Hat Rust book. That doesn’t mean the author is wrong, necessarily, but it does get annoying after a bit.

I can’t find this being a problem. What circles do you move in where “jerk” is a problematic word?

The simplest explanation is that my computer doesn’t know where to go for everything but does know where to go to get answers. It sends its traffic to the place that will know where to send things. Rinse and repeat until you finally hit the place you wanted to go.

A more complete answer if you chase everything down is the traceroute manpage.

I have a full JetBrains sub paid out for five years. I have dropped JetBrains for VS Code because I got tired of switching editors for everything and dealing with a Java-centric setup when I tried to streamline. Their decision to drop community Rust support in favor of only paid more recently also doesn’t sit well with me, especially given the PyCharm setup.

I swore up and down I would never leave Sublime for JetBrains.

Liz Truss? Liz Truss the PM whose lasting contribution was going out before a cabbage? That Liz Truss? The Liz Truss who flip-flopped on a major policy that saw her biggest supporter ousted from the Exchequership faster than a head of lettuce rotted? Why the fuck would anyone take her seriously beyond her shelf life?

Dude speaks highly of Charles Koch and works for one of his nonprofits. Evaluate everything he says with that lens.

I lost immediate scientific respect when he said Gödel’s incompleteness theorems were equivalent to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The former establishes a logical boundary; the latter establishes a measurement boundary. They’re not the same. He also attempts to extend Gödel beyond axiomatic logical structures to the metaphysical. Again, not the same.

Pulling these two things together, the author of this post attempts to making sweeping generalizations about how his foundation is doing the right thing by working in the system rather than outside of it. Neither GEB nor his misunderstanding of it support his claim that bugs cannot be removed from a system without destroying a system. His argument is that we must work within the system because self reference. He then applies that to software where he actually gets something right by parroting best customer experience design (where we go outside the system to improve the system).

Dude’s a fucking nut. The book he’s talking about it okay.

Whenever I see someone saying they are freed “from the weight of “moral imperatives” and social pressures to do the right thing” my immediate assumption is that they’re about to suggest something genuinely reprehensible or, best case scenario, advocate for crabs in a bucket positions.

This is one of the worst articles I’ve read in recent memory from a purported source of record. Nowhere does it actually expand on the headline. It jumps all over the timeline. The fight information is buried. I think it’s supposed to be a human interest story related to something bad that happened. I’ve sent it to two people who were equally confused.

What about infrastructure costs? Are you comfortable making someone else pay for your access? What about the design and implementation of the API? Should all software be free?

Please note that I’m not trying to support this decision at all. I personally feel like API access is similar to SSO for enterprise stuff (check out sso.tax). I also feel like there should be some level of compensation and even profit so people can focus on building stuff like this. It’s really hard to define what that is, especially without transparent costs, which I don’t believe OpenSubtitles shares? Also they use super predatory ads so I don’t think they have any high ground to even suggest what I’m talking about.

The article and the events it covers are from the UK. You should probably read the article before commenting on it. I also highly recommend never trusting an Independent headline at face value; they’re infrequently backed up by the body of the article. This is a rare exception.

This is vaguely similar to Van Eck phreaking.
