Reaching an actual human at Microsoft isn't enough. You have to reach the correct humans which is a much harder task. For example, you might have an idea. What if azure devops had a field for date component only, not date time, just the date because it would help you in an internal project. Can you find out who to reach? Even if you work at Microsoft, I would bet you cannot. Even when you find a defect in an internal product you are using, getting to a human requires you to go through layers of nonsense. I distinctly remember my manager telling me to not even bother explaining myself to the first support chat and to simply ask them to escalate. I was impressed at how they managed to make security a part of your review though. I never thought getting buy-in to update Newtonsoft.Json would be as easy as it was but a CVE meant you had to update it to whatever made the security flags happy.

Once I could reach the actual engineering team to look at the internal tool to look at the bug I had to report though, they were very responsive. The tool for communicating was cumbersome and made me feel like a vendor / customer relationship even though you are supposed to be the same team but once they realized it was an actual defect and not some harebrained feature request, they fixed it relatively quickly.

I don't see any email like this in my inbox. Perhaps they are only sending this email to those who have their payment information saved on Scribd?

as long as you follow the herd (for example, disable password ssh login, only allow ssh key login, use something mind numbingly boring like debian stable, set up unattended updates, update and reboot every night, etc, don't use any exotic packages etc) I suspect you are simply not a worthwhile target even with LLM agents as opposed to humans

I wouldn't say once again. I would say continues it's slide but that wouldn't make a good headline, would it?

The way I think of it, divide the tracks into segments. Before you put a train on a segment, you must ask a question - is there a train on it. There are only two answers possible, No, and something else. If it is something else, stop. Don't let the train on that segment.

There are optimizations possible like make segments smaller etc but the original algorithm is trivial. If we can't figure things out, we make segments longer and we slow down the trains until we can. I am positive for a sufficiently large track segment and a sufficiently slow train, we can always answer the question with a no.

> Formerly named Perl 6, it was renamed in October 2019.

I can't imagine how anyone can complain about this. The community revolted. The team listened. What else do we want?

From what I understand, the dryer is a bigger concern. In the UK and in Europe, you are already ahead of the curve by reducing use of the electric dryer.

> In my case, it is the fact that a secure and free (as in speech) alternative does not exist that leads me to believe that.

I don't think that is a logical statement. Just something doesn't exist, does not prove that it can't exist. You need a stronger proof than that to show that in my opinion. At some point, you have to empower your users and trust them to do the right thing.

> 0.8 miles

Ok great I thought that I can walk...

however, it is actually 1.9 miles when walking according to Google Maps and the path lacks sidewalks.

I would love this to be typescript 8 and 8.1 story (:

The Apple Home View is proof that Apple could implement some kind of user switching / login and log out scheme if they wanted to do so on the iPad as well.

I have to be logged in to azure vpn to access the development environment of the web application I work on because heavens forbid if our users stumble upon a non-production version of the application on the Internet and yet these people just put everything out there for everyone to see. At least I think it should require a CAC card or a PIV card to access sensitive data like this, shutting down immediately if the card presence is not detected somehow.

> In the town of Abu Falah, near Ramallah, at least 80 settlers, some of whom were carrying firearms or clubs, gathered to stop Palestinians from harvesting their olives, using slingshots to hurl rocks at the farmers in view of Israeli military vehicles. When some of the Palestinians then picked up rocks to defend themselves, the Israeli military fired teargas in their direction.

This has become beyond ridiculous. I have personally gone from full support for Israel to now not even supporting Israel's right to exist. And I can't be the only one. I feel sorry for the (clearly increasingly rare) "normal" people of Israel but they will soon need to move out of Israel to not be bundled in with the crazies.

I wouldn't have believed you but it will take close to a decade to build under like half a mile of sidewalk near me with like actual construction time planned in weeks in contrast to the overall plan.

I don't think I would blame the environmental consultants though. This is just how we do things now.

The USD 2B path train stop at WTC became USD 4B+ and nobody went to prison for it. I don't think it should have even been USD 2B. All we needed was a path train stop.
