Updated weathertldr.com to fix the distance units glitch. NOAA changed the namespace so it was showing up as unks instead of meters :)

"Apps Getting Worse" by Tim Bray tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20

My wife and I have a running joke where she'll complain about some awful new "feature" in an app that makes the experience worse, and I'll say "Somebody got a promotion for that." The sad thing is it's probably true.

I was going to write something up about Apple's new child safety features, but the @EFF post on the subject covers what I would have wanted to say, better than I could say it. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/appl

Is it morally permissible to have a bot to retrigger CI until it either succeeds or the same test fails three times in a row?

I'm asking for a ... not entirely deterministic pipeline.

@nolan On the flip side I have to console myself that software I wrote is likely to keep running without updates until the hardware fails (embedded systems FTW?).

A relative of mine accidentally signed up for 8x8 (the company providing meet.jit.si for free and paid corporate Jitsi plans). 8x8 billed them multiple times, in spite of calls and emails for help. My relative was unable to get a refund and ultimately had to cancel a credit card so 8x8 would stop billing. Does anyone have connections with 8x8 that could perhaps help me help my relative get some actual help?

Amazon Assistant extension turned out to be designed in a very “special” way: all of its logic is located on Amazon web servers. This gives Amazon access to a very wide range of information in browsers of extension’s users.
