Apple still has 12 mini batteries in stock, and will for a while. Might be worth trying to get the battery replaced at Apple. Extra bonus: while it does cost money in theory, every time I've gotten Apple to replace the battery they end

yes they also support python 3.x, are available on PyPI, and are related to operations in the sense of like... infrastructure management and the like. You have a huge pile of "sysop Python" out there interfacing with various infra

lol granted! But notice how in that universe since npm has to send the link, then access to the link is coupled to access to the email address, serving as an auth factor. In the attack described above, the attacker did not have access to th

Oh sure, yeah. My reading of GP's post was that somehow they could pull it off in the US but I must have misread. I have no dog in this fight, I trust "normal" car companies for my car needs.

Was a bit surprised at this, but looking into the packages in a work project that require six, a _huge_ chunk of them are packages that are still explicitly supporting Python 2.7 still (usually stuff related to operations). I believe if you

I'm a fan of post-facto confirmation. Allow CI/CD to do the upload automatically, and then have a web flow that confirms the release. Release doesn't go out unless the button is pressed. It removes _most_ of the release frict

I have a hard time arguing that 2FA isn't a massive win in almost every circumstance. Having a "confirm that you have uploaded a new package" thing as the default seems good! Someone like npm mandating that a human being pres

I have this theory that Go tickles people because like Basic or something like Action it has all of these sort of abstraction ceilings that lead to "straight down the middle" procedural code. Definitely leads to a feeling of veloc

My experience has been that it's very easy to flip through a pile of papers, and I tend to "know" where the info is. The beauty of physical interfaces like for paper is that you really can just flip through a stack while talk

tbh the write path on just paper is so good, and at least for me it's very rare that I need to actually digitize anything. I just invested in a printer that works and print out a lot of stuff I want to deeply annotate. Otherwise I have

well from Apple's position they're _receiving_ 20 billion dollars a year from Google. It's "free" money, for doing nothing! If they created their own search engine, maybe those 20 billion dollars disappear. That&#x2

Maybe you can, but I had the impression that it would be quite difficult given physically unclonable function-y stuff. Handwave-y and I have no clue if Suica-style payments use it but that was my impression.

My understanding here is that there's less risk of double spends here because of the extreme difficulty of cloning the smartcards involved. So to execute the double spend you would have to find an authorized card provider, convince the

This bugged me for a while but two things came to play for me: - humidity and the generally mold-friendly conditions of Japan means that not doing wrapping of certain food in small packs means you’re risking food waste. And generally speaki

I’ve also lived in NA Europe and Japan and disagree with this sentiment. “Don’t waste stuff” is taught by plenty of parents, people talk about using every bit of the buffalo in America. Everyone in my generation has the grandparent who thre

The idea of not wasting food as a sort of baseline concept is a thing plenty of parents in the US teach their children.

I think a lot of services end up sending you to a sort of generic "not in your country yet!" landing page in an awkward way that can make it hard to "just" get to your account page to do this kind of stuff. Netflix doesn

I think people like ADTs and pattern matching that Rust gives, but really the way that Rust becomes even more pleasant is that you have _so many_ trait methods on standard library objects that offer succinct answers to common patterns. Hask

There’s an argument to say that the datetimes should be stored in UTC. But if a user wants to see datetimes in their local time zone (a config or w/e), then you gotta hold onto a time zone! Not really defending the Factory timezone but

Yeah seems like there should be _some_ mechanism in place, though I'll admit that it's not immediately obvious what that should be.
