I love Tesler!

I mean, everything is computer so yeah.

I'm often stuck at my desk for long hours, which made it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I started using Manjaro a few months ago, and it's had a significant impact. It helped control my appetite and reduced the constant cravings I'd usually get, making it easier to make healthier choices. I've lost around 15-20 lbs so far, and I feel much more in control of my eating habits. I know it's a bit anecdotal but it's been an important part of my weight loss journey


They want email addresses used. How does that work for people who use Mozilla Relay or Apple's HideMyEmail?

You can easily accumulate hundreds of unique email addresses this way.

Do they really expect you to input 500+ email addresses?


It doesn't matter, they likely want everyone to be non-compliant so that they have an excuse to arrest you if they don't like you.


This law is not made for controlling the emails and social networks of the smartasses that use anonymous emails and tor, it is made for controlling the emails and social networks of the normies (99% of the population) and to identify the 1% smartasses remaining


I came here to ask exactly the same question - i use temp addresses for lots of scammy-looking services. I don't even care to read what the email or domain is. I guess there is no way to enter the US?


you could put down the email address they end up in or you could learn to lie plausibly


And get arrested for lying to an officer and spend a long time in jail or be deported without the chance of ever coming back. Great advice this.


It's easier than that. You don't need two NICs to get a carrier, just use a fiber coupler. They are super cheap (< $30)


You can, but a 1x2 multimode splitter is not something people generally have on hand, whereas 1000BaseSX cards (or media converters) and ordinary patch cables are easy to find.


Just to be clear -- It's an aspirational research project, much like (Galen's) Azure Sphere from 8 or so years ago. This is NOT Microsoft's official stance.

Galen is a super smart guy, but he's not a decision maker. I have yet to hear that this is actually the official direction Microsoft as a whole is taking, across any of their business segments.


Most people I know who take on side projects do them because they enjoy solving problems. They find them enjoyable, and to many, side projects are like taking a vacation. I wouldn't pay someone to take a vacation for me, that's nonsensical and defeats the purpose of the vacation.

Why would you pay someone to do something you enjoy doing, so you don't have to do (any/some/all) of it? What kind of side projects are we talking about here?


In my case I wanted a particular piece of software that I had visualized. I found someone and agreed on a price, and provided what we needed to collaborate, and watched the progress. He accepted critical feedback and did a good job. That software has been adapted and ported to more platforms since. The effect was to compress my time and energy invested, and I paid with money earned from my full time job.

I’m still glad I did it. It’s okay to farm out the intensive work and savor the fun bits yourself. There are people waiting to do this for cash.


There are two sorts of projects (or in general, people): artisans, and entrepreneurs. The latter see code as a means to an end, possibly monetized, and the former see code as the end in itself.


Open source maintainers just ignore this kind of stuff until they actually have something to contribute.

The biggest issue are AI generated PR slop that takes time to process. Not this kind of "I'd like to make a PR in the future" kind of thing.


I've searched everywhere and it seems gone forever. It was a hell of a slide deck and I wish I had downloaded it before it got taken down. I'd potentially pay money to see it again.


Hello, I'm the Brian that made these slides. Here's a copy, no money required: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1M-d9rRsFnC8zUkeFrkVC...


Link is dead. Did anyone make a copy that can reupload?


Hello, I'm the Brian that made these slides. Here's a copy: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1M-d9rRsFnC8zUkeFrkVC...

One clarification: these are not official internal NYT meeting guidelines; rather, they are learnings from throughout my career that I documented and presented within my teams and departments when I worked at NYT. They developed a life of their own and were shared around the company over the years, but this is the first time I've seen them "escape" and get shared outside. Enjoy!


Thank you so much Brian, I'm so glad I got to read it again. Great slides, great content. You are an expert at your craft. I'll definitely share this with my teams!


I would also like a copy, someone in this community must have made a copy. #Mirror for quick searcher's.


It really is a tragedy. I can't find it anywhere and I really wanted to reference it for future meetings.

@spagoop can you reupload it?


in case you didn't see it, there's a mirror here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1M-d9rRsFnC8zUkeFrkVC...


I don't know if OP is serious, but more than once, his name has come up on this topic in discussions in the past that I've had with people in my social circle who work at Apple. He obviously gets much respect and is considered an engineer's engineer.

I don't think anyone would be against Woz stepping into to revitalize Apple. The real question is whether Woz would do it.


Everybody loves Woz, for good reasons, but (a) he’s not a manager (b) he’s not executive material (c) he’s notoriously unmotivated (d) he hasn’t engineered anything significant since what, the mid-1980’s?
