TLS certificates is not the only technology for which the default mode is failure. What about disks, databases or syntax errors in configuration files in general?

In technology, there are known problems and unknown problems. Expiring TLS certificates is a known problem which has an established solution.

Imagine if only some of the requests failed because a certificate is about to expire. That would be a debugging nightmare.


Maybe I'm too cold or cynical here, but I would make it compulsory to indicate the disability in the diploma with an annotation or comment.

Or possibly the other way around: "Completed degree on standardized terms "


This is how Heroku has been doing it for years since it started out 10+ years ago.

$ git push heroku master

So you'll have to make sure to push to e.g. GitHub as well for version control.


Steve Jobs is gone, so is the unique quality obsessed Apple we knew. Even on the hardware side, the AirPods reecks of poor quality since they break so easily


Can one also use AirPods for e.g. Google Maps navigation?


Theoretically yes. There are apps for the blind that do this[1]; you set a "beacon" at the location you want to navigate to, and the apps use head tracking and 3d (HRTF) audio to show you which direction the beacon is in.

Most of these are based on Microsoft's discontinued Soundscape app[2], which MS open sourced after its discontinuation.

You're pointing out something important. I think it's feasible for the crowd who dislikes the overall direction Docker has been heading and need a simple drop-in replacement


Do you have any real experience with Warp? Just curious to learn


I've always stayed clear of it because I don't like the idea of merging shell langauges with terminal interfaces, and also I'm not really a big fan of tools that inject AI into my workflow when I don't want them too. So I don't really have a take on it at all.

My whole experience of it is just seeing it's advertisements on every CLI tool page. Someone else here probably has something more meaningful to say about it though.


For Norwegian situation, I can recommend the book "The country that got too rich" which in fact is very accurate. Socialism works to a point but if it continues to spiral into more aggressive socialism you will end up in a much worse place for everyone, this is where Norway is heading the moment unfortunately even though we are a social democracy on paper.


That sounds vaguely terrifying!

Seriously tho, care to elaborate?


The book has some valid points when it states that the government has too much money and does not need to make the hard prioritizations.

It has however been heavily criticized. It seems like he had a point to prove and found numbers that fit with his view, and not a neutral description. He also seems to ignore that the trends he points to, also exists in other countries.

That said, he does raise some valid concerns. The number of employees in the public sector grows, even under conservative governments. Part of the reason is that Norway can afford it at the moment. Another reason is that the number of rules and regulations increases, and the government needs more people to enforce them.

The latter is mostly a political issue, and something that also happens in countries that are not wealthy. The author's solution is to reduce taxes and cut public spending.


The socialists’ rallying cry has long been, “Finally, it’s ordinary people’s time.” But in reality, ordinary people have seen their wealth steadily decline, while the state has only grown fatter and richer. The slogan should be more honest: “It’s the state’s time now.”

Now the state has more employees and will continue growing to attain more power, and thereby more voters. Having worse public services than 10 years ago while the spending has increased drastically is a bad sign.

That being said, it'll have to get drastically worse before ordinary people realize where their money went, and then it might shift


You could say the same about the US, regardless of if you meant the last year, last 5 years, or last 30 years.
