Memo to @nationalreview:

1. The NOTAM system is separate from air traffic control.
2. The NOTAM system is *already* privatized. It's run by Leidos.
3. A significant portion of air traffic control is not run by the FAA. I talk to non-FAA flight controllers from the airplane every week.

Suggestion: Learn about a topic before shitposting about it.

The U.S. Should Privatize Air-Traffic Control

Failures like today’s system meltdown argue for removing government from the aspects of air travel that could be better handled by the private sector.

Very much intrigued by this new player listed on the HIMS International website, the SensePlayer. I wonder if they are planning to unveil it in the US at the ATIA conference in a few weeks. Anyone know anymore about this one? himsintl.com/en/daisyplayer/vi…

For anyone interested I'm about to do a test stream on twitch, testing like 3 pieces of software that are new to me at the same time so this should be fun. Gonna be playing through some of the new singleplayer content the Hearthstone access mod unlocked for us recently and chatting. twitch.tv/pitermach

@rikarends I'm in the middle of a big refactor of the base accesskit crate, and on that branch, the crate is now down to zero mandatory dependencies. (It still optionally depends on serde and schemars.) github.com/AccessKit/accesskit… Of course, I still need to strip dependencies in the other crates.

refactor!: Make `Node` opaque and optimize it for size by mwcampbell · Pull Request #205 · AccessKit/accesskit

This is a massive breaking change for all users. But I'm afraid it's unavoidable. This is still a work in progress. The technique is proven to work, but I still need to do the following: Use macro...

1. Thank you. That was not intuitive at all
2. Serious? I'm not going to argue why its wrong that a _calculator_ calls European Central Bank (yes it also calls there) when I opens it and want to add 2+2. That should be obvious. The currency converter is a very very tiny feature in this calculator that I didn't even know about until now and have no need of using. Anyway, it's fine to have it, but I should be made aware of this.

Dogdy at best...

#UnifiedPush using #xmpp #Conversations :blobheart:

Now #fluffychat (#matrix) gets notifications instantly (using conversations.im server)

Just set what XMPP account (in any server) will get notified and share it in your device

Free/Open source FTW!!

APPS with UP service: unifiedpush.org/users/apps/

(you can set what server will manage the service, eventually: your own)

According to unifiedpush.org/users/distribu…

> Conversations is an XMPP instant messaging client for Android, with the ability to deliver UnifiedPush notifications using an existing XMPP account, on any server. This requires converting push notifications to XMPP messages first, which is done by a service hosted at up.conversations.im.

As far as I could understand,

incoming notification --> up.conversations.im (Push server) --> Conversation (Distributor)

Distributors

ntfy - Android Conversations (XMPP) - Android NextPush - Android UP-FCM Distributor (Google) - Android UnifiedPush is a standard for receiving push notifications*.

This sounds way, way too familiar...
I think it's not just YouTube for me. I'll do the same with podcasts, even audiobooks. I've become so accustomed to having at least some kind of noise in the background that I feel very strange and naked without it. Whenever I get up from my desk, my first instinct is to grab my phone and headphones, and press play. This is so internalized that I do this literally without thinking. I usually have something up, so when I do press play, something actually starts playing. If it doesn't, something feels off and I quickly find something to play, instead of thinking "Well, I'll just be up for a couple minutes, there's really no need".
And I know that eventually this will cut into what I actually want to do. It's so easy. "Just lie down for a second and listen. Oh hell where'd the day go?". And when it's time to sleep, it's the same thing... Put on something to have noise.
Uh sorry. I guess I just really resonate with this.

Just to clarify: the real controversy was voiding OGL 1.0a.

Imagine MPL-3 saying MPL-2 is void an null and thus any MPL-2 licensed code isn't available anymore, and then MPL-3 doesn't grant you the same rights.

The rest, it will be up to them if it is worth moving forward with the new OGL for the new content, wether sticking to OGL 1.0a licensed content good enough.

I just had the worst #interview of my entire #career . It turned out to be an insightful list of precisely how NOT to attract talent. In that way, it was really useful to me as a candidate.

Presented for your amusement, here's a thread of what I asked. It's going to be a longboi, but here's my absolute favorite:

🚩 Do you have any queer peers? Is this a safe place for them to work? "We don't talk about that here."

Tajemství růžových tabletek. Jak ibuprofen pozná, co a kde vás bolí?

Bolí vás záda, klouby, zub, hlava nebo něco jiného? Stačí spolknout (zpravidla růžovou) tabletku, jejíž účinnou látkou je ibuprofen, a během několika desítek minut se (obvykle) dostaví úleva. Jak je to možné? Pojďte se podívat, jak funguje

Naštěstí taky užívám minimálně. Pokud to jde zkouším jiné metody například chlazení určitého místa. Na zuby jedině valetol, ale neni dobrý pro lidi co mají problémy se žaludkem. Ale záleží každý máme jiný práh bolesti a hlavně záleží kde nás bolí. Něco jiného je noha a třeba mě osobně bolest hlavy úplně odstaví od normálního uvažování a mám chuť se rozběhnout proti zdi. Naštěstí to je jen mimořádně asi jednou ročně.

Dutch workers right reminder: sickleave

Seems like not many people are aware of this: But if you're employed in the netherlands, and you get sick during your holidays, you can still call in sick and it'll be marked as sickleave so you don't have to use up your holidays for it (NL has unlimited sickleave).

CircleCI published an incident report on their recent breach, and it's super interesting! circleci.com/blog/jan-4-2023-i…

The attacker avoided 2FA by infecting a user's machine, waiting for them to auth, and then just copying their session cookie to another computer where they could use it with no local monitoring. Either of two things could have prevented this:

1) Access to sensitive resources could be restricted to trusted machines
2) The cookie could have been tied to a hardware key on the machine
