Paradox

Kagi generated key points:

• The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
• The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
• The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
• The network has "aggregation by default" as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
• The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user's home address.
• Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
• The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
• Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
• The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android's vulnerability rewards program.
• Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

Recently I had to do an update to the underlying environment a codebase ran on. This was a somewhat involved upgrade and took a longer period of time than most of our work usually does. I did it in a separate worktree, so I didn't have to constantly rejuggle the installed dependencies in the project, and could work on two features relatively concurrently

It also provides some utility for comparing the two versions. Nothing you couldn't do other ways, but still useful

And in elixir/erlang we're spoiled with loads of options, from ETS to mnesia

On the subreddits I moderated, I used a big regexp to preemptively filter their comments

Letting one through was a rare event

How about they cut executive pay instead of fucking the rank and file over

During my most recent job search, the most annoying thing I saw was "resume consultants"

They'd reach out like an interested recruiter, but very quickly get to the sales pitch

Apologies are free and valueless

But you don't have to go sketchy off brand. You can get Ubiquiti if you want a really good system, or eufy or reolink if you don't want to muck about with the sysadmin stuff Ubiquiti requires

Can we start with the CEOs? Pretty sure shatGPT can do their jobs easily

Best thing Elon has ever done right here

Apple has done this many times before. Over even more frivolous patents (i.e. a glossy black rectangle)

They made their bed, now they have to lie in it

IFunny is unironically better
