The screen-shot looks OK to me but I'm not a professional designer - the only thing that occurs to me is that div-sizes might be slightly awkward or the type might be a bit small.

One problem with any Facebook alternative where you have just one "reference application" implemented is that people will glance at the page and judge it by looks regardless of how configurable it is. That's a problem with any UI sadly enough.

I guess that's why I like the idea of creating layers and protocols to allow easy, multiple implementations. IE, my idea of five minutes ago - plugins for Drupal, Wordpress and Phpbb to ties multiple sites into a single large social network. The issue of design might then not be front-and-center.
They didn't garner enough publicity, so they were cut loose as liabilities.
Watching TV mostly makes me angry. Idiots selling idiotic things to idiots. In the past month, at least three times I started yelling at the TV and left the room, only to realize that I was being melodramatic.
Rational self interest in economics? How un-American.

Yeah, this is more like the "Service locator" pattern where you use a single object (the locator) to bring in other objects. Years ago I wrote dependency injection container for JavaScript [0] and under the hood it indeed works similarly to a service locator but the difference is in the usage. Your application code should have no knowledge of where the constructed object is coming from, it should not explicitly grab it from some object.

Wow. Just wow. This is incredibly well done. The videos (well, the ones I've been through so far) are informative and entertaining, and the site is well thought-out.

I think that if you can re-skin this and retool it for other themes/languages, you've got an excellent educational tool on your hands.

Good job!

@pedalpete great suggestion about why not build the whole company around it rather than just the recommendation system. I will seriously consider this.

A single backscatter X-ray scan gives a radiation dose of 0.009 mrems, about the same as eating a banana.

Don't get me wrong, I'm opposed to the scanners as much as anyone for privacy reasons and general pointlessness. But I'm seeing a lot of bad science thrown around here.
checkip.dyndns.org

No ads, no style, no frill. Returns one line of machine readable text. Get you IP right on the command line with curl:

curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'
I use digikam on KDE (Kubuntu) and tag images - it, like most does geo tags and date ordering automatically (so you can search by calendar or using a map to locate where|when images were taken).

I've just checked and I have 8500 images which surprised me a little.

Picassa is really good - I tried to get it to tag my images with facial recognition data but I couldn't do it without switching over and I'm happy with digikam for now. I'm rather hoping this feature will appear (perhaps via GSoC; http://libface.sourceforge.net/file/Download.html) in the next year or so.

iPhoto does excellent facial recognition and works rather well on large volumes or images (based on my limited play with it of about an hour or so).
Yes. Let's say you have a limited amount of creative energy, which based on what we know about exhaustion of Executive Function & decision-making, is probably true.

Do you want to waste a large portion of your allotted creative juice on figuring out how to make them let you do your damn job right?

That right there is why I've sworn off jobs forever. I've had high-paying jobs ($200k/yr, 5 weeks paid vacation, & a practically unlimited expense account). But when you're wasting your precious life fighting for the right to make something that IS NOT CRAP, it's just not worth it. Life's too short to make crap.
That's a very good point. Sorry if I was unclear earlier -- I don't think we should give up on trying to find/fix these bugs. I was thinking more along the lines of (1) improving user education (2) improving private browsing mode to deal with these attacks even at the expense of compromising some functionality. Mozilla has already been thinking along these lines: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Anonymous_Browsing#Anonymo...

As for whether it will become the new normal, that remains to be seen, but I think there are a couple of differences compared to regular privilege-escalation exploits: (1) everyone agrees that taking over your computer is malicious, whereas the perception of identity leaks is malleable (2) identity leaks are harder to deal with: even after the relevant bug is fixed, the attacker still has the mapping of your identity to your IP/browser fingerprint.

But thanks for the comparison and I will keep an open mind about this :-)
I'm sorry for not specifying more. I'm interested in the part of the system that does the editing, not the theme for the site. The use case where the owner updates his site with new content.
From what I've seen, the majority of privacy issues like this tend to be an exploitation of a feature, i.e. finding a way to use something that it wasn't meant to be used for. As such, fixing the feature (and/or disabling) resolves it.

Sure, it could turn out I'm wrong, but I think the odds are in my favour.

Edit: it is alphabetical by last name. If anything, it seems they wanted to point out the husband was a Russian with a nickname but even then they're both certainly guilty.

Science has a level of technical difficulty and detail to not be obsessed about something in order to discover anything. Try one of those extract DNA from a strawberry kit for example. Even in big data science you find people who know a lot of math or applied math that have the technical insights. A lot of science today also requires collaborative cross discipline work to make progress as well. I don’t think careerism is an issue. We should encourage wacky ideas though through competitive grants.
I’m the person you replied to - I’m a big film fan but I have the same “issue”. The only time I can get immersed is at a movie theater and even then it’s rare (last time I was immersed it was with Parasite). But again, I enjoy the film and am able to remember all of it so not sure if it’s a problem.
ICANN is a "non-profit". They do not issue a publicly traded security, and so they are not subject to the SEC's jurisdiction. The FTC is probably the best hope for intervention in a matter like this.
If you consider the actual complexity of any computer that has actually been built then a TM is, by comparison, very simple.
To me, this debate is akin to wondering whether the essence of computing resides in the lower-level, Turing-like operations of a microprocessor or rather in the higher-level constructs and abstractions that we're able to build way "above" them. Whatever it is, intelligence, whether implemented artificially or embodied in the substrate of a living being, is likely built on a ladder of subsystems interoperating at different levels of abstraction.
In this space is also https://riseup.net/en/vpn but I dislike they want you to use their custom client, just rubs me wrong.
I don't see it as sad, the existence of NeXT as a separate entity allowed many possibilities. I.e. it left room open for a completely different startup to roll new tech directions back into Apple and NeXT to end up as new direction at SGI, HP or whatever. Even if the end looked a lot like the status quo should have looked, a wider range of possibilities shape the industry and individual motivation.

Blaming disease spread on density is kind of a cop out after how we saw the world respond to crisis. Singapore, Taipei, Hong Kong, and most Chinese cities are super dense places that, for most of 2020, I would have preferred to be living in compared to the US.
I would say any tech or dev job in a non-tech focussed company.

My best job was a large publisher, part of the dev team. It was super relaxed and sometimes would go weeks with minimal to no work, and nobody cared.

Since the focus is not on tech, the stack is very stable and development is very slow and considered.

Just avoid any company whose focus is tech or the website/app is the main revenue driver.
This was needlessly verbose, if they want subscribers like myself they are going to need to simplify.
Wondering the same; from my 10,000 ft view a cpu-fpga marriage seems like the kind of thing that could transform how performant general purpose computing is done.

Do you mean *process* spawn time?

From the article:

"UI state should live in the client." this is wrong and I think you have missed the point of the article.

In server-rendered app, there's nothing like UI state.

There's a request. This request and the database is enough to build response. There is no UI state. Your app can be (and often is) absolutely stateless and restult depends only on request and a state of the storage.

While when you have SPA, API & server, you lose the application state and it's not possible to store the whole app state in the client for many reasons (security, scalability, synchronisation...). So you have to store subset of it. And you have to build a machinery that will do all this synchronization so your states stay in sync. It's double the effort to get 5% improvement.
I use Firefox ESR just so I don't have to do this every couple months.
XML and Java both come out of the same era. Java was supposed to be Object Oriented, but what we got instead is stringly typed code.

Array literals in programming languages are pretty much as compact as you can get (start, end, one character element separator), and the type system or a little code often allows you to fix a 1:1 mistake after the fact. This attribute is now a number or an array of numbers.

In XML if you want a properly formatted list you have to use child elements, which gets expensive really quickly so people balk. Especially if you already failed the attribute/child test by mistaking the value for 1:1 when it turned out to be 1:many.

We also already have HTML class, style, and on* attributes as prior art that we use to convince ourselves that one more will be okay. Basically XML gets it from both ends. XML makes entity relationships and irreversible decision, in an era where UML existed and harped constantly on it.

I don't know if there was any fixing it at that point. What I do know is that a lot of us shot meaningful glances at each other and tried as hard as we could to find something else to do until the dust settled. But you really could not avoid XML in the 00's.
I think the author is tearing down the brand rather than the person. And I think it's good. For sure, Hawking's individual productivity was limited in later years, as was his control of what would be associated with this name. For sure, Cambridge tried to profit from Hawking's name in ways that are only remotely related to his research. For sure, other, similarly talented researchers contributed to many of Hawking's achievements.

IMHO, it is important that somebody discusses these issues, because we should not glorify the intellect of individuals to such an extreme extent. Woit might hold some research-/community-related grudges, but I don't think this makes his post less relevant.
Thank you for your kind words.

Most of the credit for the CNI project should go to CoreOS, now Red Hat, folks.
Damn you are so right. In fact, I did realize it after writing the comment, but then I also factored in repairability and upgrade factors and repair cost as well.
Browsers used to/still do max number of connections per domain. Adding more domains allows you to do more concurrent requests.

React requires no compilation. (JSX requires compilation, but you can use React without JSX.)

CRA is a scaffold, but you don’t need to use CRA to use React.
> Can someone explain why they would buy a Mac and install linux?

Same reason you run Linux on a Dell or Other laptop. Because you prefer Linux. In Apple's case, the M1 is particularly appealing right now.

For me personally, this project is mostly interesting as insurance for if/ when Apple ships a version of MacOS I don't care for or stops supporting the M1. That's likely... 10 years out, but you never know.
If you live in a city, more cars isn't a dream, sorry.
Let's turn the question around then. Would you like to be less rational? I doubt anyone would say yes to that.
This is a very nice frontend. Someone should definitely port it or rewrite it for Linux. All the existing UIs are either ugly or use libvirt, which is a nasty pile of hacks that has no place on a desktop machine.
That's too simplistic. What if it IS an issue, or what if it WILL be fixed, but because of priorities it's always bumped down the list? What do you then, bump it every few weeks?

No, any open source project needs someone (or multiple people) triaging tickets; either keep them open and make sure they are implemented in a reasonable time, or close them as a 'wontfix'.

Of course, then you'll have the issue of people opening up new tickets for the same thing, and the triagers will have to either point them to the old ticket, or the discussion about whether or not to do it has to be restarted.
Would a GNU Taler implementation count as a CBDC?

> I don't understand how every parent isn't filled with sheer, abject terror at their child's death from starvation, thirst, disease, or violence.

I also find it hard to believe that the default stance (even from non-religious people) seems to be that having kids is normal.

It is amazing how even as a male, "oh you'll change your mind, everyone wants to have kids some time!" is brought up.

The Best. Been a big fan of Opera browser for a long time now. There was a minor speed bump of bugs when 10.x first came out but starting at 10.10 it has been top notch. Once you learn all of Opera's nuances using any other browser feels outdated and not as well thought out for a user. Speed is right there with Chrome, built in mail/rss and now with the 11.x extensions there is no more excuses to try it.

The little browser that could.
Yeah, I really enjoy these bundles.

I've purchased quite a few of them in the last year or two, but I tend to not get much value out of them though. There's so much new software all at one time that I end up not using any of it. This is just my problem and could be fixed by being a bit more diligent about trying the applications out.

Anyone else experience something similar and have tips?

It's very niche but Philharmonie de Paris has some brilliant visualized analysis of some classical music scores.

For example:

https://pad.philharmoniedeparis.fr/CMDA/CMDA100003900/defaul...

https://pad.philharmoniedeparis.fr/CMDA/CMDA100004800/defaul...

Sadly they don't present the full scores, only the beginning or some part. I wonder if there are other sites where you can find something similar.

Somewhat related is http://www.critique-musicale.com/ - another great site.
Producing vaccines is difficult and it takes time to ramp up production. But the German government also failed miserably here. Probably they did not believe in the success of the mRNA technology in the first place. But once it became obvious that it is a success they also showed no interest in ramping up production and ramping it up fast. The German law would allow to take away the patent of BioNtech and allow anyone to help with the production. So they would have some leverage if BioNtach were the ones that would slow down the ramp up. They decided to not go this path and I am not sure why. I can understand when a company says, look we have limited resources and we do as much as we can. I cannot understand that when it comes to the government as it has basically unlimited resources when it comes down to money. This is a huge failure of the EU administration / German government. Ursula van der Leyen should step down. Angela Merkel will not run again anyway.

Ceremony is part of the need for a key or a card. This needs to have weight to average, even sub-average, end users.

It must be out of the ordinary. The ceremony must have weight and differentiation from typical activities. True going inside and moving a jumper is fine for those willing to open the case, but it must work on Gradnma's Dell; while under warranty, without voiding the warranty.
Vaccinated with a second dose means full immunity 1 week after, possible death 3 to 7 weeks after (1 + (1 to 2) + (2 to 4)). So a decline should start to be visible since last week maybe. But I wouldn't get nervous for another 2 to 3 weeks in case it doesn't fall sharply, data is always noisy and everything is spread out the more dependencies on previous events and times there are.
Idealo is a great price comparison website, but not really for finding the right product for you. More for finding where to buy the product you've already chosen.
It's not jut about large columns.

When fetching from views, selecting unneeded columns can trigger unneeded JOINs.

Assuming no JOINed column is mentioned in the select list (either explicitly or through *), the query optimizer can eliminate the OUTER JOIN, or INNER JOIN when it is known that the referenced row exists (because there is a FOREIGN KEY).

This is mentioned in the article as "Oracle’s join elimination transformation", but (most?) other databases can do it too.
