I use NetNewsWire. Since I am happily entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, it works great with its iCloud syncing. This way I can use it on my phone and laptop while not having to set up any server-side infrastructure or rely on a third party to host anything. (Granted I am relying on the iCloud storage for device syncing. But it did not involve any kind of setup and the files are encrypted such that Apple cannot read them.)

When they give you that QR code for the 2FA app, print it out and file it away. That is the seed.
That is not exactly what they are saying. You could create a private fork of a public repo and the code in your private fork is publicly accessible.
Thanks. I’ll let him know. I think he has either a Canon or Lexmark.
This is a bit tricky. It’s almost like those “ask your doctor if ___ is right for you” commercials except they are connecting you to the doctor as well.
The doctors will hopefully not be too heavily encouraged to just prescribe whatever the site/patient recommend without a regular evaluation.
Eli Lily clearly thinks this can boost demand for their medications. Increased, easier access to medical care is a good thing. Making medical care a part of the sales motion probably is not.
Hopefully this will be implemented in a way that leads to good health outcomes.
Thanks for summarizing this up for us. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
Amazon has been progressively getting worse and worse. I was not a member of Prime for the video. It was a nice perk.
The combination of Amazon making it hard to search for things to buy, the huge amount of low quality crap for sale with confusing descriptions, and this most recent change of putting in place ads if I do not pay an additional fee has led me to cancel my subscription.
They have taken the enshittification too far. Good bye Amazon. Hello Home Depot, Target, et al.
My Mom says it does the same to her. Then she eats Dorito chips or uses a seasoning in it that has MSG and nothing happens. When I point that out she is still convinced that it gives her migraines and maybe those things just don’t have enough of it.

I didn’t mean the message to sound the way it did. You already have the Spot messenger and it is a cool product. I just wanted to present another useful way to signal for emergency help in remote areas.
Why not use one of these instead? The main downside I see is that you can’t send messages. But there is no monthly service fee. :)
I used the .onion link using Onion Browser on iOS. The front page loaded fine, but articles were paywalled. This leads me to believe that it is not browsing through Tor that is allowing the paywall bypass, but rather something Tor Browser is doing.
One experiment might be to go to https://nytimes.com using Tor Browser and see if it also still bypasses the paywall. If my theory is correct, it just might…

I think you’re right. I’ve been a lead dev/architect for a while. I am not better at coding than my co-workers who are junior to me. In many ways they are better than me in that they come in with a fresh perspective, new ideas, and lots of enthusiasm.
In my mind, the main differences between the roles come down to soft skills, getting comfortable with and staying calm with uncertainty/gray areas, and being good at asking for feedback and listening. These are all things you just end up learning.
Here are some of the things I’ve had to do a lot more of as I got into a more senior position:
Getting a “feeling” for how technical decisions will weather over time given past experience.
Being able to effectively listen to stakeholders and really understand their needs. Asking good follow-up questions and communicating my understanding in non-technical terms they can identify with. This often involves coming up with differing scenarios and seeing if the behavior the system would have is what they really want.
Getting comfortable working in grey areas.
Seeking feedback and ideas from the engineering team and stakeholders. Iterating on a design and incorporating the feedback.
Trying to tease out the best direction for the architecture that will be most likely to meet current and future needs, stand the test of time, and be less likely to accrue too much technical debt.
Staying calm when external circumstances change in unpredictable ways. Planning how to adapt to the changes in the most effective way. Determining whether future changes in a certain area are likely to occur given company direction. Guiding the architecture to more easily be able to accommodate those kind of changes in the future, if they seem likely.
Being a mentor for the engineers. Trying to always make myself available to help. Being willing to dig into the weeds to figure things out. Feeling invested in their success.
Coding. I still code a lot as well. I think this is important. First off, I like coding and making things. Architecture designs are great, but they’re just an idea, not something that can readily be used. Additionally, architectural decisions that don’t take into account the actual experience of coding them are not likely to lead to good outcomes. Sometimes, I can come up with something that sounds great. Then, when I try to scaffold it, it turns out there is a better way that will be much more pleasant for all involved.
Being humble. I don’t know everything. I’m not always right. We are successful as a team when everyone is involved and listened to.
I hope this helps. My career path kind of just happened and I learned along the way.
