I think the issue is more that the tools that designers/marketers/salespeople use are moving to cloud solutions that manage versioning internally (figma/google docs/etc). It's harder to do features like multiplayer interfaces in local file-based workflows.
If SVN was so great for these non-developer use-cases, they could all still be using SVN. Just because the devs moved on to git, doesn't mean that SVN was made unavailable to these people. TortiseSVN still makes releases.
BTW, Jackall expanded that HBR essay into an entire book. Highly recommended if you want to get entirely black-pilled on corporate work. Wikipedia says it was a favorite of Aaron Swartz.
Vim controls are a certain mode of thinking & no offense meant, but it sounds like you haven't delved too deeply into them. The complexities come when you start to recognize that there are motions and operators and that these can be composed. That you are thinking about arrows means you're not really at that level yet.
First step is to not use arrows any more, especially while in insert mode. Put this in your .vimrc (or jet brains equiv):
Then, once rid of these broken "training"-wheels learn some of the more advanced motions and operators. https://vim-adventures.com is fun.
The emacs/readline shortcuts are nice in MacOS text fields and in the command line, but there are only a handful I use regularly (^A, ^E, ^K, ^U, ^L). I would use vim-bindings in the shell, but I haven't found a good way to indicate my current mode, so I get confused & don't like it.
For me, the biggest pain point with Touch ID was that it didn't work well in the rain, which is precisely the moment when the touch screen for manual password doesn't work all that great either.
I'm hoping masks are more of a transient thing, long-term, than the rain.
FaceID doesn’t work with sunglasses on either. It would be nice if we could just have both to cover most weather scenarios. Of course too much face covering and gloves in the winter and neither are going to work then (;
It definitely doesn’t work with mine, just a black pair of Ray-Bans. I just tried it again to make sure it hasn’t changed with the latest update. I use my phone as an offline GPS for hiking and it’s been a constant frustration for me, as there is a significant delay before it gives you the keypad after FaceID fails. I’ve tried setting up an “alternative appearance” in FaceID with my sunglasses on and it just complains that my face is obstructed.
The "trick" for this to work flawlessly (at least for myself) is to set up regular face-ID; and then setup an "alternate" appearance with sunglasses or whatever other items/accessories might cause problems.
Never had any issues; especially if you setup the alternate appearance with a mask / partially obstructed face.
If I designed the system, I would be continuously training the FaceID model to account for false negatives based on a correctly entered PIN after a failed FaceID unlock.
When FaceID was announced, they also said it should also continue to work with varying amounts of facial hair - which I have also found to be true.
Polarized sunglasses block the phone's sensors, so it can't confirm you're actually looking at the screen—That someone isn't trying to unlock it e.g. while you're asleep.
If you turn off "Require Attention for Face ID" in Face ID settings it'll work with sunglasses.
According to Apple, "Face ID is designed to work with hats, scarves, glasses, contact lenses, and many sunglasses." (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208108) and from my experience, it works fine with my polarized sunglasses, but it sounds like it doesn't work for everyone.
I wonder if there is a compendium of what different companies call their own workers internally. Do all companies do this? Also kinda interesting how it doesn't seem Googlers ever became Alphabeters or whatever
Futurama can still get pretty meta. The first five minutes of the last reboot were about how those responsible for their cancelation were ground into Torgo's Executive Powder.
I think a better example of a return to straightforward comedy would be the King of the Hill reboot.
Also kindof wild to think of telling 1997 me that there would be new episodes of Futurama and KotH 25 years from now.
After watching the misery that has been the Flanderization of the Simpsons and its complete decline I'm quite happy with King of the Hill staying out of remakes and anything that would straight up destroy the treasure that it is.
Could people who do this talk a bit more about how the outgoing side works out? Is there a way to do this where I don't have to jump through hoops just to hit reply to a message & have it come from my custom domain?
Ideally, what I'm looking for:
* wildcard routing
* keep existing archive of mail
* easy to use (replies make sense on mobile and web interface)
* not have to replace google identity (for YouTube prefs + 3rd party sign-ins)
There was this discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30104783 about how a gsuite account could be converted to a free one, which sounds like it could work with this, but I'm still unsure about how sending mail would work out.
The next best alternative I see is fastmail, but that saves me just $12/year + I have to do a lengthy export + I'm not sure how my google accounts will work out.
In the past, I utilized a standard Gmail account (no G Suite/Workspace) and had mail forwarding set up with a domain I had in Google domains. It supports using a wildcard (any email@domain.com). In terms of sending email as the alias, this is also easily doable:
Last time I looked, your actual Gmail address was still included in such outgoing emails, the From address may be the alias but the Gmail address was also present in the headers.
I do this with ImprovMx. You set up the inbound to forward to some other address. For outbound you can either pay them or set up GMail to do outbound aliasing. It works fine for me, but there is some lag on inbound emails.
The issue will be sending email as the custom domain. You will need to use another service besides to send email as the custom domain.
I have had a legacy Gsuite account for years but only used it to forward email to my regular Gmail account and to send email as my custom domain email address. Gsuite would take care of issues such as DKIM so my emails would pass spam filters.
Once the announcement was made I requested access to the Cloudflare email routing beta. It took about 24 hours to get access. Cloudflare now routes email for my custom domains to my normal Gmail account. I signed up for the $1 a month Zoho email service and use it purely to send emails from my custom domains. Zoho does all the needed DKIM signing. I signed up for the $1 account because I needed to be able to send from 2 domains. They have a free tier which should work if you have 1 domain.
Someone is going to ask why I don't just use the Zoho account to receive my email too. I actually like Gmail and I like the integration with other Google services I use.
