Summary: Apple introduced PCM [1], and to keep people from using it for cross-site tracking it limits the bits available to a single site (as defined by the PSL). If shop-a.retail.example and shop-b.retail.example are completely separate, and don't want to compete for bits, Apple will still treat them as a single site unless retail.example is on the PSL. Being on the PSL is a big change (partitioned cookies, etc) but could be appropriate for different shops.

FB issued guidance suggesting domains like retail.example consider getting themselves added to the PSL, and now the PSL (a volunteer project) is getting a lot of requests. The PSL project has put these requests on hold, and asked FB and Apple to work this out. FB is talking to Apple in https://github.com/privacycg/private-click-measurement/issue...

Physics noob question: is there any physical framework that does away with the concept of "force"?

I know a bit about how it is reconceptualized as space-time deformation in the context of general relativity, but that's about it.

It just seems like one of those inherently anthropocentric concepts that (potentially) holds us back from exploring something different?
The government providing a product or service is socialism. The public school system certainly qualifies as socialism.
Buy the longest term put and roll the position when it is near expiration. Don't fully hedge, just 1/2 to 1/6.

Also, don't write covered calls, that gives up too much upside. Instead, sell outright.
It was a while ago I read it so I hope it was that one I am thinking about.
What do you mean by "native operators like ? and if uses == and not ==="?

Why would they need access to their emails? They already talk to them face to face.
implying CNN and so on have any different motifs? Amusing.
That seems like a pretty good trade off for mobile devices. They usually don’t have sustained performance needs, you aren’t going to render a movie or do other long running computational tasks. But mobile has a lot of bursty power demands: Launch dozens of app many times a day for example. You want your short-ish interactions with your phone to be snappy.
Interesting. "Top stories" are presented with three articles: one "From the Left", one "From the Center", and one "From the Right". For example, an update about the subject of this thread has articles from CNN, Reuters, and New York Post in those respective categories. Looks like the "top stories" are presented with a "headline roundup", presumably written by an AllSides person, which (judging from two examples) tends to say things like "Left-rated outlets were more likely to highlight [...]; Right-rated outlets featured [...]". There are also three general feeds of "News from the (Left|Center|Right)" in parallel at the bottom.

This seems at least like the type of experiment that would be worth trying.
I did not buy it. I traded Night Driver for it (and the paddles). 1980? And yeah, not to put too fine a point on it, just... no.

But, given the replay-ability of Night Driver, still a fair trade.
Did you watch the video that was deleted? IMO it is treasonous to blatantly put forth completely baseless election conspiracy theories in order to undermine our democracy. Trump directly encouraged the insurrection today to "Stop the Steal", in other words, to start a coup to forcefully end our democracy and instate himself as our autocrat. This is blatant treasonous behavior
MySQL/Maria database
Its pretty ubiquitous any web host has it , and can easily install on most any modern OS.
Extremely well documented (especially for beginners tons of books magazines, etc.), not too hard to learn, pretty forgiving, very versatile.

When you have something specific in mind there are databases optimised for specific applications, but you can always fake it with MySQL for till you are ready.
Who would have thought that people with guns are less likely to be brutalized by the gov or literally anyone. Almost sounds like a pro-gun argument to me but I'm sure it wasn't mean to be one. The victims must be victims because the evils are evil right. That their own actions or inactions makes them the victim just doesn't fit the victim mentality of some. Its just one of many things that shows how they are so out of touch with reality. Did no one ever told these leftist that life isn't fair, that people dont play by the rules, that having right doesn't mean you also get it? We should strive for the perfect world but it will never exist and only a fool would walk the earth as if it where paradise already.
The JavaScript fatigue is NOT a myth.
[and CSS/layout is really tough, too]
Yes, that’s why Kaiser is a nice model if we can’t get to taxpayer funded healthcare. It’s vertically integrated insurers and provider so there’s no in network and out of network and covered or not covered BS.
It looks pure Heroku-clone (meant as a compliment):

As someone who works with data I can tell you that distributions can take on all kinds of unexpected shapes, especially when n=600. I think he's bluffing - the stats can't prove that anyone has cheated. That said, the deal he offered sounded pretty good when compared to the alternative.
> Consequently, cheap early intervention to preserve health is often shunned in favour of expensive, late intervention to prevent death. To my mind the most egregious example of this is drug abuse and alcoholism - huge amounts are spent on ER care for disastrously ill addicts, but little is spent on basic social work and rehabilitation.

One example of this that is frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time is a piece by Gladwell called "Million Dollar Murray"

http://www.gladwell.com/2006/2006_02_13_a_murray.html
On the contrary - there's a few things they can do. They could examine the difference in results between the two tests at the individual-student level, for example. Or, using the set of students who admit to their cheating as a training set, do a question-level analysis.
I'm not sure that was the point. The word "carcinogenic" has lost some of its impact when we learned over time that nearly everything is carcinogenic. We need to know a degree and likelihood and manner of action to really know what that means. You can be cynical about big companies, but this sort of health research is full of inaccuracies as well.
The US doesn't have debtor's prison per se. Only certain kinds of obligations, which are already associated with "jailable" offenses can result in something that looks a lot like debtor's prison. In some cases not being able to pay a debt really should carry a jail sentence, for example in case of clearly fraudulent behavior.

John Oliver talks about a particular kind of "debtor's jail" in a recent episode of "Last Week Tonight". It seems though that appeal courts don't look favorably on such jail terms.
You lost me on "object oriented".
I cannot upvote this enough. Violet is wonderful.
You are an expert with hand-on experience. Here decisions were done by career politicians, who are utterly clueless in any hard science, and basically often have only one skill mastered - the skill of selling themselves to population to get voted in. Hence the results.
Btw., I was describing basically two tools:

1. Some replacement for grep to search through the code. Where you can search for "std::string::size()" or sth like this and it will show you exactly all calls to that function. This tool is really trivial to implement. (Probably someone has done that already.)

2. Some tool which adds some metadata to a code snippet. Which would just add exactly those information of the context which is needed to understand the snippet. I.e. this fully depends on your code. If it is bad code with full of macros, many operator overloadings and other tricks, there will be a lot of context around, otherwise, not.
ipadwatcher.com? And the guy can't even spell Ballmer's name correctly. No matter what you may think of Ballmer, this article is just trolling.
On the other hand, at the startup level a CEO is planning to get rich by his stock options, not his salary. So if entertaining multiple offers he'll choose whichever one he thinks he thinks he's more likely to turn into a billion-dollar company, not whichever one offers him an extra $50K.
The Californianism seems to be "you guys". A little awkward, but it still cuts down on the communication errors.
It's doesn't seem to be that common, but not it's not unheard of either. For example, Amazon Payments prohibits "occult materials"[1], and according to an old Boing Boing article, Google Checkout used to prohibit "occult goods" as well[2].

It's not similar to that at all, or even related in any way. Without transparency and fair mechanisms, markets break down.

Participants getting exploited withdraw and find other ways of getting what they need, most recently through dark pools.

Crucial liquidity diminishes, and eventually all that's left are the crooks. The suckers are broke and honest non-suckers are gone.

If you want functioning capital markets, you have to regulate and crack down on stuff like this.
This is the issue with Apple's 'multi-tasking' model. Want to write an alarm clock replacement? Can't do it, you need a hook that doesn't really exist. This guy needs this hook. Someone else will need another hook. Does apple play os whack-a-mole (creating a lot of fragmentation)? Or are you just out of luck for a whole load of apps?
Flag it and move on. This kind of crap doesn't belong here anyway.
That's for the performance version. Check your facts.

There's nothing wrong with this submission and it has actually raised an important discussion on whether they need better marketing or not.
GNuBiff logo is in that group too.
There's a product/market fit thing going on here. Rails is the kind of project that caters to the kind of people who value and can contribute "nice websites and logos" because that is what a lot of them do for a living with Rails.

Add a startup-like website to the GNU binutils project and it's going to look pretty dumb to the no-nonsense crowd that needs assemblers. A "nice website" website is not going to extend the appeal of cross-assembling ARM microcontroller code on a x86-64 one bit.
> ever had to come up with a decent original logo?

Yes, don't under-estimate the time-cost of this for non-designers. I tried it once. The design sucked, I got advice and got totally lost in a 3 day tour of typography and colour theory.

In the end I think it looked ok but it was a lot of effort for apparently 'not much' output.

However as others have pointed out this kind-of presentation IS important and totally worth it.
Here's the chart you probably want:

http://www.hsh-nordbank.com/media/en/pdf/kundenbereiche/schi...

It lists a median cost of US$3,712/day for manning costs, with a total operating cost of $8,138/day => 45.6% .
But will this fix the bug where my mail doesn't update for hours at a time?!!
You are evil. That link just wasted five hours of my time. Every tvtropes link I run across does this to me.
City services need to operate, and they get first dibs on curb access. Street cleaning for example occurs between 3am-5am every Thursday on Greene St., so this restricts curb parking during that time. etc etc. I imagine that all other city and maybe county departments have say as well. End result: parking rules can be archaic for urban cities.
David Streitfield writes anti-tech hit pieces almost exclusively, and sometimes forgets to try to remove his opinions from what would otherwise appear to be factual articles.
It's what the science says so far. It's amazing that since there are gaps in our knowledge people readily jump over to woo woo fad diets.
> mean in western Europe, town walls were dismantled for other building projects.

To further this example the limestone used to clad Egyptian Pyramids were removed to use as materials in other building projects.
This isn't a big hard to read document: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/marketplace-...

3a spells out what you're agreeing to share with the publisher of the product in the marketplace when you subscribe to it.

Additionally the listings each link to their respective privacy policy right underneath the subscribe button, plainly in view above the fold.

Finally, I've just attempted to subscribe to "Ubuntu Server" in the Azure Marketplace to see what it looks like, and it shows you a form with the information it's going to share with Ubuntu on the screen for you to modify before subscribing! So it seems like you arguing this isn't "obvious" is in bad faith, because it's obvious for any reasonable person who's actually used the marketplace.
Thank you for standing up for yourself and asking for sources here. Asking for an original source is totally fair, and I think it’s extremely valuable to ask. I’d like to see them too. There’s nothing wrong with asking for proper citations.
In this case it's not obvious that you're participating in a "marketplace". Look at the screenshot of VM creation:

https://twitter.com/LucaBongiorni/status/1359737285118410752

If we accept that the Ubuntu image is a marketing device then this screen is using dark patterns.
You will have a very hard time to define what is advertising and what's not. How can a business tell you about its existence?
How do we use our spy satellites for information about an epidemic?

I'm really struggling to understand what you're suggesting here. I'm aware there is a whole cottage industry of conspiracy theorists that point to satellite photos of busy parking lots outside hospitals in Hubei Province as evidence of earlier spread of Covid than has been officially acknowledged. But there's no way to distinguish a busy parking lot caused by a severe influenza outbreak (which existed prior to Covid in Hubei) and a novel pathogen.
Apart from the occasional Einstein and Newton every couple of centuries, physics seems to advance by throwing a semi-random selection of PhD dissertations at the real world and seeing if any of them happen to match experiment.
And those sentences are excessively harsh, so I think calling it “excessively harsh” still stands.

It’s horribly cruel, but as our disgusting Supreme Court has declared of similar violations of human life, it is “not unusual”, and so it still stands and it still is done.

It is excessively harsh, and the only way we’re ever going to fix it is by calling our representatives and calling out our representatives to change this.
Heh, stealing a logged state is bad no matter what unless you’re requiring re-auth on important operations. The risk of one losing their second factor is much much higher.
I think the fact buzzfeed has a 20 worst TED talks is much more telling than that the editor having written about boobs. Or maybe the fact they have highlights the issue.
Out of school for winter break and I code pretty much 20/7.
They must be including the cost of the groceries in as revenue. However, there's a good question as to whether or not they are allowed to include this as revenue or not, similar to Groupon. Revenue recognition is going to be a tricky one for them, since they are clearly distinguishing themselves as the delivery agent for stores like Whole Foods, Safeway, etc.

This, and the question of whether or not their workers are actually contractors or employees are the two biggest issues that I would be curious about. If history has any bearing, I think Instacart, Uber, etc will face the same outcome that Microsoft did with their "contract" workers, ie. they will be deemed employees and will have to pay up.
The drivetrain doesn't fail when eMMC does. A whole lot of stuff that you'd normally do on the touchscreen is inaccessible, though.
Forgot to add PETRO to the list

Fictional because they never issued it
Locks are temporary in almost every case on Twitter and will automatically release if you do what they want you to do (usually, delete it)
We've had to tackled the provenance problem at my company (https://www.vecteezy.com) by getting all of our content directly from the original designers. It was a crap ton of work and took us several years, but that allowed us to also back it up with legal indemnification. We now have a team of 18 folks reviewing all our content for legal and copyright issues now and we back it up with up to $100k in legal indemnity. So far it seems to be helping.
This is a good cue for me to finally set up a monthly donation to the EFF.
Fascinating. Does this confer some of the benefits of ECC RAM, for pointer data only — without the hardware cost?
Unless you're talking about federal programs, the money is absolutely not made out of thin air. States and cities cannot print money, and most have mandatory balanced budget laws.
I'm a bigger proponent for agroforestry than other methods. Being that monocultures are the biggest catalyst of desertification, agroforestry, when implemented in industrial agricultural settings, has a higher dimensionality/impact.
Sorry you feel that way, it feels like angular for the backend to me which is nice, it follows logical patterns, loading modules allows us to configure micro services from a single mono repo, decorators are nice, encourages use of RxJS which is great and it still allows access to the underlying express app if needs be.

Might not be to everyone’s tastes but it feels like a solid tool to me.
I don’t like the argument here. I don’t think these two tweets are inciting violence. I read a lot of ultra-right-wing communities (those who called for bringing arms on the 6th, starting a violent revolution, etc), and both of these tweets were not perceived as a call to arms but rather a depressing confession of defeat.
Of course. It would be weird if a company wasn't able to change its own policy.
We did record this talk about core recently: https://realm.io/news/jp-simard-realm-core-database-engine/ does it hit anywhere close to the mark?

Great observation on the threading — it’s definitely complicated to reason about and mobile is a very hostile environment due to this and other factors (e.g. mmap limits can be quite aggressive as well).
I had always though the SR-71 was the fastest airplane, and it turns out I'm right (sorta). The X-15 isn't an airplane, apparently (hence why it's only referred to as an aircraft). I'm not sure why but probably because it's just a rocket and it doesn't actually "breathe air", nor does it seem to be able to take off on it's own?
Unrelated to my original argument. Gun ban as in gun ban (you get no gun, not you get a tagged gun) would probably reduce suicide rates.

At best you should stay the fuck away from guns.
For Django, just do {% now "Y" %} in your template to get dynamic year :D

I use them out of courtesy, to notice the person in front of the content that said content is (c) and that I actually did not forget to set a BSD/MIT/GPL/CC license, and/or to link to the actual license (which indeed leverages copyright).

Of course I know this is not needed from a legal PoV but I'm not using it for legal protection, I'm using it for actual humans to parse.

Also, the date metadata has been useful to me a few times. Please don't increment it automatically.
This a very important skill, especially for lead devs.

To people downvoting this, think back when you were last annoyed by bad or even missing documentation. I bet this was very recently, if not today.
My strategy over the years has been to build a whole lot of otherwise useless side projects with incrementally different stacks, optimizing for doing it well with different technology instead of cobbling them together quickly.
Oh man, wait till you see the Linux source code...
It only takes two things – curiosity and time.

When you are working on a project, if you hit the edge of your current knowledge / skills, push just a little bit further when it’s something that interests you instead of just aiming to hit the basic requirements / lean on other people.

This minor effort compounds over time; do it for twenty years and you’ll be an expert in multiple disciplines and also an expert in how to tie them all together into one cohesive whole. Aim to be a “T-shaped” person, and just expand over time.
It's a mistake to discount "this works well" because it doesn't necessarily work perfectly.

Targeting the vaccine in a way that lessens the likelihood of mutations making it ineffective is a sensible approach. Thus far, data seems to show the mRNA vaccines being pretty resilient to the mutations out there.

I live in Canada. In southern Ontario now, but grew up in one of the snowiest parts of Canada.

Honest to god, we drove Corolla and Camry’s. FWD. it’s good.

You get slightly better traction with AWD, but when the roads are covered in black ice, it doesn’t really matter how many wheels you have that can drive the car.

The thing that you want in the snow are snow tires. They cost $500. That’s it.

Hell, sometimes we don’t even put the snow tires on. I haven’t in the past two winters.
Totally Agree!!! it is the initial stage.
I wonder if this kind of experimental approach just leads to software slowly getting worse and worse over time, in many small steps.

I feel like human response to changes like this isn't linear: make a thing slightly worse, and most people won't be annoyed enough to do the research, find and change the setting. If it's not a huge step back they'll just live with it, and maybe complain to their IT-savy friend, who will just nod and say "I know".

On the other hand, people doing the experiment will see that most of their test subjects don't switch away from the change - mission accomplished, full steam ahead!
Christian prayer is usually non-repetitive. However I know in other religions (Islam say) that prayer is more often strictly formalised. I guess if you used the Book of Common Prayer or something then it would work for Anglicans too.

More like meditation, it made me think of Ps119:97+ or the last para of Phillipians; or indeed any of multiple places where the Bible reader is encouraged to meditate on scripture and hold it in their hearts (or indeed as the Jews act out "pin it to your forehead").
The original poster suggested that one could simply put together a booklet of custom sayings and read that, to which mike-cardwell responded that I wouldn't receive the Amazon affiliate revenue in that case. This makes it sound like the culmination of all the work I put in over the last year is to be able to post this blog post and collect some affiliate revenue. I find this completely ludicrous; I'll be lucky to make $10 off this post. I'd make more money billing for a client in the time in took me to respond to this thread. I put affiliate links on everything I promote on my blog, but that doesn't mean that I live large sections of my life out differently so I can hopefully collect a few dollars down the road.
Yeah, I don't like to run my CPU over 30% incase it runs out of cycles.
