Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

  • "Daily" dumps of customer data
  • The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

@jasonkoebler > People have a right to use third-party parts under the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, for one thing, and it's hard to square this contact language with that basic consumer right.

It's not hard, it's impossible. The contract is not legally enforceable on its face. More corporate overreach where they believe contract is king.

If you have a personal website: what platform, CMS, SSG, tech stack, or service are you using for it? Would you pick it again? How much technical expertise did it require to set up and make it your own? And do you have to do a lot of maintenance?

Once more – you guessed it – I’m asking for my subscribers. 😉

Pro tip: If you lack motivation, is sadly not the cure since it will only alert you to and, worse, focus you on that inadequacy.

However, coffee may just prevent you from killing the person who points this out to you.

Oh no! Texas (Tejas) is majority Latiné?! What's next?

The Arid Zone? (Arizona)
The Angels? (Los Angeles)
The Meadows? (Las Vegas)
Colored Red? (Colorado)
Mountain State? (Montana)

This is terrible! Anya Taylor Joy is replacing us!

Reminder, most Latiné people are white. Relax.

The phrase "prompt engineering" is now being bandied about with no shred of irony to be found. The battle is lost.

haliphax, to random
@haliphax@hachyderm.io avatar

Using the phrase "a gentle reminder" does not make your reminder gentle in any way. It instills your reminder with no positive qualities it did not already possess. If anything, it is nearly the opposite, and serves to imply that the one doing the reminding is at least mildly irritated at having to remind you--and likely not for the first time--about whatever it is.

One year ago, I started a bi-weekly nerdy podcast with a few friends called Linux Matters. The goal was to make a show for our wider circle of Linux nerds who like to hear what we've been up to every couple of weeks. We just released episode 27, where we read and discussed feedback we've received since we last looked in the 'mailbag'. 🧵

Sometimes my motor cortex invents user-interface features completely by accident.

Just now I wanted to edit a particular shell function 'download_foo()' in my .bashrc. So I went to emacs, hit the keystroke to open a file, and before I quite realised what I was doing, my fingers had typed in the pathname

~/.bashrc/download_foo

as if download_foo were one file in a subdirectory, rather than one function in a source file.

Of course it doesn't work. But it might be kind of handy if it did!

Amazon needs to take "verified purchase" review requirements a step further with camping gear and require that you have actually used the thing before you review it.

Nearly everything you would expect to be destroyed in the line of duty if it was made cheaply/improperly is filled with reviews like "I love this thing so much! I haven't used it even once, but it's great." You have to dig around for the few truth-tellers who post "This thing is a flimsy piece of shit that melted in 5 minutes."

I went to book a flight with Wizz Air last night and the absolute shocking web performance made me feel better about my own work.

It takes ~30s to process the and render the search, literally the primary function of the site. I like the DX of but is this kind of performance really worth it?!

    @ubernostrum I generally run unit tests in a Python environment (pyenv locally, GitHub Actions pipeline remotely). My approach is: if there's something that I need to dockerize for a unit test, then it's probably not actually a unit test (e.g. end-to-end test, etc.) or there's something I'm not mocking that I should be.

    Given how Pydantic 2 broke compatibility with Pydantic 1 in a way that's still shaking out - you can't use 2 in a project that has dependencies that use 1 without making changes to those dependencies...

    ... I wonder what the downsides of releasing Pydantic 2 as a new package called "pydantic2" such that it could be installed in the same namespace as the original pedantic would have been?

    Presumably this is how Jinja ended up as "jinja2" forever?
