I haven't used uMatrix, since I use Firefox, but I can speak for RequestPolicy, which is kind of the same thing basically AFAICS. It's very very very rare that I end up whitelisting everything that's requested on a site. The more you use the extension, the more you learn to recognize what domains you need to allow in order to have the site working as intended, and this way you end up building your own whitelist: allowing requests from a domain is a one-time only thing most of the times (additionally, there's an extension you can install that syncs your whitelist to your Firefox Sync account).
oh great another social network.
I like this app very much but only used it during the trial. (It was a bit expensive imho.) It is nice to see that is open source now. Really hoped this would be the next iWeb successor. I dint know about framerjs; it looks neat!
Agree. Almost all of the apps on my phone are basically value add only.
...but don't they get underpaid because they make it up in tips?

Vox said it well with "consumers should not be responsible for paying the incomes of a restaurant owner's employees. "
Tim Ferriss believes in stoicism, which is how I first learned about it. Great article, it really makes a lot of sense.
I've also sent customer services an email demanding an explanation and the closure of my account and deletion of personal data if true and sent an email to the ICO.

In reality I don't hold out much hope but fingers crossed we can get some pressure behind this and force companies to take security seriously, especially when the vulnerability is responsibly reported as this seems to have been originally.
I highly doubt that for Dean and Torvalds. They are not programmers, they are software engineers. Both guide others to make 10x or 100x impacts to the world. 10 new grads, in most cases, cannot do that. Let alone this takes for granted both of their algorithms and data structures knowladge.
I would love just getting the ability to resize the Evaluate Formula dialogue box text area.
I've tried Julia and really liked it, but the user experience was pretty bad. The language really needs faster interactivity or a strong type checker. I found myself waiting after than compiler a lot more than in some AOT compiled language like Rust... I fear the language suffers from being overused by people who are familiar with Matlab and Python and draws too much inspiration from them, much like how Rust draws too much inspiration from C++.
That is speculation at the moment, a lovely fantasy to imagine to come to fruition for any technology; a market cap that has reached $1 trillion including price manipulation, I'm unsure it warrants that valuation - and arguably it's not simply that high due to price manipulation.

I do believe blockchain could help us solve some fundamental problems - but only if it's tied to real trust and democratic processes.

Bitcoin is a blockchain that's been structured to inherently be an MLM, and if you think through to the conclusion - say once 50% of the population has bought into Bitcoin, and now a growing majority require the remaining society to adopt Bitcoin to realize their gains - to unnecessarily, unreasonably transfer wealth from later adopters weighted towards earlier adopters - then you can how conflict will occur when the remaining 50% of society don't want to be left holding the bag, with no one else to then buy more Bitcoin for the last adopters to get wealth transferred to them; and this is why it also mimics a Ponzi scheme - it's just that there isn't a single controller liker Madoff, but instead it's controlled via a global, decentralized system that anyone can participate in.
Apparently, you're so keen on attacking "this thought pattern" that the fact it bears no resemblance to what I said doesn't matter.
I've already mentioned VBA classes. If you want to read , just read through Chip Pearsons' great Arrays library. 30 functions just to do what you should be able to do natively in a high-level scripting language such as VBA

http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/VBAArrays.htm

Imagine how painful your experience would be writing any decently complex reusable code in VBA without knowing about all of the edge cases covered by Chip in that module
Correct. Sr/5 is the expected terminal level for most. Both FB and G expect steady progress to that level or you get fired (if you really can't make it).
The technology angle in the article is not quite what I meant. Alexander looked at how low-skill jobs and high-skill jobs developed, i.e. the new demand for high-skill jobs was not enough to get a higher share of the profits, but what I meant is that this also changed the landscape and structure of companies itself. The introduction of computers changed how companies organized themselves, enabled outsourcing etc. Companies before often were very vertically integrated, and the digitalization enabled organizations to spin off subdivisions into suppliers etc., which made it harder for unions to achieve higher wages. (A bit amusing that that went so far that vertical integration nowadays is all the rage again, with Tesla as the most vocal. We went full cycle after Ford started it 100 years ago :)

Sadly I can't seem to find the article anymore, but there was a publication by Robert Brenner that showed that the fundamental changes of the early 70s also affected Soviet Russia in quite similar ways.

Edit, sorry, forgot your literature question. I think the two important keywords are Fordism and Post-Fordism, as economic literature usually seems to use these terms to describe what changed before and after the early 70s. The Wikipedia article on Post-Fordism lists a few theory lines and their authors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Fordism
why so negative? the times is getting worse. all written discourse is getting worse.

why not wish for someone to do better instead of taking a flamethrower to the dregs?
More than 75% apparently.
You could also call the IP address that you're sending email from 'tracking data' if you wanted.

Hell, I get a text message from Rogers the second I land in the US to let me know that roaming rates apply. The fact that I have a device that has to talk to another end point means that I can be tracked.
Unlike California (37 million), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy is more suitable for smaller nations like Switzerland (7 million)
It almost makes sense if he meant "wallah"

He didn't mean that of course...

I think he's observing the videos about the distant family where the dad doesn't see his kids being fixed by the iPhone 4. It's creepy. So is the Apple guys with the big eyes who keeps talking about a slightly better screen like it's a revolution.
Same in Asia.
> Somebody has to create the bleeding edge in order to get there.

That's not how the rules of Internet Land work, friend.
This is very interesting indeed. I would love to see Ive step into the CEO role after Steve. Mainly because he is nothing like steve. I don't think Apple really needs another Steve Jobs to be successful. I think a good successor should be different and bring his/her own personality to carry out the vision of the company.

I have been pondering over this for some time now. I think all companies have a finite time, mainly because i think of companies like dynasties/kingdoms. They are run by a few key individuals. When they fall, the fate and direction of the company can change significantly. It's what happened to Microsoft over the last 10 years and it can happen to Apple. Although a leader with a unique view and style can give the company a new lifeline.

The only exception to this I think would be Google. They seem more autonomous/robotic in some sense. It's really hard to nail down the recent success of the Google with any key individuals.
Sure - it's just that they said they will make it an open protocol. So will they provide the intermediate servers for everyone?
I agree with this. It wouldn't surprise me the least if existing associations to a "phone" will make video chatting a lot more comfortable for people; myself included.

Anyhow, how long do you think it will take your average female to get ready for a FaceTime phone call? It's for this and other behavioral issues that video calling will always be nice but never necessary. At least that's my prediction for the next 10 years.
http://www.swfstats.com/ = SQL Server, planning to shift the heavy bits to MongoDB though.
What does the last sentence have to do with trust?
Many computer problems are probabilistic in nature with very low occurrence, and it can be very challenging to come to any real conclusions about the cause and outcome of various process failures. While I believe cosmic rays are a problem, the issue I'm dealing with now is bad silicon- when you make a bunch of chips (millions), some fraction of them will compute a few operations incorrectly sometimes. Post-manufacture validation doesn't catch all problems and ultimately some machines slip in the serving fleet.

ML People who train on this hardware report more NaNs causing training failure than expected due to software bugs. It's extremely challenging to debug because most ML codes are very robust to small amounts of injected noise, especially gaussian independent noise (there's literature showing that introducing random numbers in training often helps training go faster).

This is a fascinating area and there aren't a lot of people who can really make forward progress in it.
Interesting, thanks. I used to use Google AppEngine a lot and very much liked it, but haven’t touched it for years. Now, I like the idea of using Heroku better, and just pay a little more.
For now.

Helping China to trade is not to build a totalitarian country as well. Just trade.
Same, just enabled it, love it!
If it can run C, it can run C++ (or rust I guess). The majority of abstractions have little to no overhead. Also 16 megabytes were enough for a very decent desktop computer in the '90, enough to run very complex C++ applications with ease.
I thought it was strange that the target of the campaign was Wordpress itself and not the SaaS page builders or theme engines that add the WYSIWYG aspect, like Elementor, Divi and Beaver Builder.

Wordpress out of the box is relatively unstyled. Even with Gutenberg, you're really only changing the layout of the <article> element, and not <body>. Full Site Editing is apparently coming soon, but at this time, page builders created on top of Wordpress have a much better UX.
Hi - as someone who's been on the keto diet a lot over the pandemic and also in the before times - just wanted to chime in saying, you're going to have a heck of a time trying to break through the mountains of pages + SEO about keto recipes/books. I'd really suggest calling this something else.
The notion that TV ads fall into two broad categories, is a false dichotomy.

There are other reasons for TV ads. One is to inform consumers about a product or service that they didn't know existed. Viagra and Swiffer come to mind. There is a difference between why Viagra bought ads (and now no longer does), and Charmin ads.

I'd be willing to bet that Dropbox runs an ad in the 2012 superbowl. It only costs $3M, and they are a new product category that has mass appeal. They need to lock down their brand as the goto place for the service. Much like swiffer is now the brand for disposable mops, dropbox need to be the default brand for "your files available on all your computers and devices".
AdWords works far better than FB Ads for my site. YMMV.
I get that response sometimes, and it almost always turns out the person that thinks the text "looks fine" is not using AA, subpixel rendering, etc.

I snapped a picture of a GNOME menu overlayed on top of Netbeans, so Netbeans' complete failure to match the fonts of the GNOME desktop is made crystal clear: http://bit.ly/eSQy3d
I imagine this his how non-devs feel when reading a lot of articles here. I have absolutely no idea what non-developers do at startups, and if I were having a dream where I was suddenly hired on in this position, it would feel like your average "showed up to class with no pants for final you didn't study for" nightmare.
I've read lots of good things about Hammer. I've been wanting to give DragonFly a try because of it but it doesn't like my computer (the install CD freezes at startup).
Although I am not a Hadoop guy myself, this is still excellent advice. Learning an emerging technology that's starting to gain traction in the workplace is a good way to distinguish yourself among your peers when you start competing for jobs and a great way to add to your repitoir.
Once upon a time I tried answering the same question for myself; you might (or might not) find this interesting

http://softwareboy.blogspot.com/2009/10/learning-things-of-l...
Clearly there is a pain here, so it would be awesome to see someone solve it.

I'm really curious how they plan to do it though - since it seems like you'd essentially have to start your own bank to streamline the process. Too much regulation for that. What work around did they find??
I'm posting this from a Stabucks in Buenos AIres where Wi-Fi is free and unlimited, as it is on 99% of other bars
and restaurants here.
Last time I was in NY, I had a hard time finding places
with free Wi-Fi.
I'll be there again in October, do you people have any
recommendations of good bars/coffee houses with free WiFi?
@DeusExMachina: Where I come from (India), poor parents go through considerable adversity to send their kids to good schools. Young adults of disadvantaged opportunity (and this is an emerging nation of immense socio-economic disparity) are enhancing their skills - one course at a time - while at work. This is the story of a few billion here, and I can safely say it also holds true for much of South Asia, China(?), Africa and South America.
Ours is currently a great world beyond just social security and health insurance - ours is a great world beset with great inequity and suffering - where the only recourse for the underdog is to obtain meritocracy and education.
Our world is a story of billions of underdogs.
In my lay opinion, your product sounds great, and we are looking at billions of potential users - who will inherit our world and will run it. Every minute.
Do not worry about a market. The market is already here.
I agree with the article, but it's not a general rule ... Facebook is a clusterfuck of features, and it beats Twitter in popularity.
I second that. I have found that I learn things faster (and they 'stick' better) when I work on something that I find interesting/cool.

The other benefit of working on it is that you really relate to the problem you are trying to solve (since you will be the first user) and you might end up creating a viable product for a niche. There are tons of startups that started this way (one example is hotmail, where the founders needed a way to access their email from multiple locations)
I'd love to see res indie in OS 10.7, but bitmaps will probably prevent that from happening, though http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/02/ff_algorithm/2/ looks like a promising way of making bitmap scaling possible.
Can't we just admit that the iPhone's 320x480 pixel display was getting kinda old and was due to an upgrade? Yes more pixels = things looks sharper. Other phones had better displays for a while, now the iPhone has a great one too. I think the display upgrade was kind of obvious for the iPhone4 and have been saying this since last year - it's cool and all but don't hype it into oblivion.
It's nothing like c9.io. Atom is a desktop app and relies on Node's FS modules...
Plivo and Twilio are two great places to start your texting journey.
Apart from "competition"? Mozilla's JS engine has gotten on par with V8.
The default client is just an open-source project on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Everybody can start using their own fork of the currency, but it's in your interest to use the same version as everybody else. You basically have to convince both miners and major stakeholders that a change to the code is good, otherwise you risk a network split, the valuation crashes and your investment is gone
What are you saying? “Its” is the possessive of “it”. “It’s” is a contraction of “it is” or “it has”.
Going unsuited seems unnecessary - why not grab some reinforced mylar balloons, put the astronauts in them and pressurize, then have the EVA crew shepard them across (possibly on a tether or using the manoeuver packs).

Or if the weight can be managed, a more robust option seems like it would be to be weld a coffin-like container that could fit through an airlock, and put life-support on the inside, then wrap it in insulation.

Either way, we're not talking about a long term thing here - just something which will keep a person alive long enough to be moved between vehicles.

Does make me wonder if you couldn't build some type of inflatable slinky-duct though.
Yeah, I'd say don't apply that thinking to everything.
I've gotten cold calls from CoreOS spun up in Azure as well. This was years ago.
So I don't know the answers to your questions - but here's one interesting thing - according to GPDR your email address is personal information as you'd expect. However your work email address is not. Companies can do all sorts of harvesting and collection on professional information that they can't on personal.
I don't consider 60%ers real keyboards. Also, Matias' tendency to shorten the Option key on their mechanical keyboards annoys me.

I think the Laptop Pro might also only be available with an US layout.
There are a lot of ways to do it.

For us we make a donation page. The only links that go there are from FB ads. We also use different refcodes for different ad groups AND the FB pixel passing in purchase value which is really good at optimizing FB's delivery to highest ROAS

FB is very very very good at this

I feel like people who question it or like don't understand basic attribution should do some more research before denigrating

There are other non-direct measurement, FB for instance allows you to upload offline purchases. Definitely not as clean especially if you're hitting across different channels. But a basic A/B holdout test is pretty good in that case too.
The answer to your question is I don't know. I guess I'm agnostic. He's too hard to assess objectively, and the resources to do it aren't available. By the way, there is a recent documentary about Reich that I haven't watched yet: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/wr1897.

> I'll see that and raise you Gurdjieff's Fourth Way embedded in the middle of "Meaning of Life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2QJvc_SxFQ

Wow! That's incredible, and would have gone over my head when I saw the movie as a kid.

I wonder which Python was into that stuff. Perhaps Cleese? Edit: looks like it: https://theweek.com/articles/677504/john-cleeses-6-favorite-..., https://www.nytimes.com/1988/12/25/magazine/cleese-up-close..... Maurice Nicoll is another character; an early UK psychiatrist and son of a prominent Victorian critic, who was Jung's British colleague. Jung was asking him to lead his work in England, but by then Nicoll fell into the Gurdjieff/Ouspensky orbit and ran off to Fontainebleau. The books Cleese is referencing ("Psychological Commentaries" [etc.]) are Nicoll's lectures to his Gurdjieff group that went on through WWII until he died in the 1950s. They're a strange mix of sharp psychological observation and impenetrable esoterica.

If you're interested in Gurdjieff's influence in Britain, I recommend the memoir of J.G. Bennett, who encountered both Gurdjieff and Ouspensky when he was running British intelligence in Constantinople just after WWI: https://www.amazon.com/Witness-Story-Search-Collected-Bennet.... As an old man in the early 70s he became the spiritual teacher of a lot of English hippies, eventually including, of all people, Robert Fripp. You can hear Bennett's voice at the beginning of Fripp's new-wave dance record (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPQWHEu_rqQ), which also went over my head when I was a kid and frankly creeped me out. But what a great record! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPQWHEu_rqQ#t=12m
> "bitter" as currently used on the internet is just propaganda that tries to inflict maximum damage on dissenters. It often comes from corporate-adjacent developers.

oh interesting. that was certainly not my intent! I agree though, i would be bitter as well and certainly stand behind him over the globocorpos in practically all of these related situations.
I believe the person you're responding to is saying that increased taxation is such a necessary component of any UBI system that any test which doesn't take that into account is flawed.
Here is another deep explanation of generators, by Kyle Simpson:

https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/async...

Both of them are really good, and come at it from slightly different angles.
Actually I think it's part of their current marketing effort. TalkTalk, and/or others, have probably been successful with increasing sign-ups by having default filters and Sky are probably following the market.
I personally would not want that visual clutter added. Maybe a simple and non-obtrusive indicator that upon being tapped, navigates me to a page with additional details (stars,comments, etc).

I just don't want the "Vegas Strip" of info cluttering up my messages.
<too lazy to read the code right now, sorry> why the rows (tr) of the first table are replaced instead of changing their content (I thought that was the strong point of react)? (attributes added to tr tags disappear when you click next, and comparison of the nodes before/after confirm they're different).
> there ought to be a place for people to go specifically for viewing advertising; no such place exists.

There are plenty. It's about a captive audience. Take a movie theater for example -- you don't have a choice but to sit there and if not look at it, you hear the ads. Same if you're trying to watch at TV show, you have no choice.

Things like DVR have changed that partially and reduced the effectiveness of TV adverts; a major reason why broadcasting companies have fought hard against being able to fast-forward through commercials, etc. You can always show up late to the movie theater too, but most don't and it's not as convenient.

Other examples would be the newspaper classified's sections (or craigslist being the online version). People go and look there specifically to be sold to.

The point being, if your audience isn't captive, or if they aren't already interested in your product, then your adverts are wasted effort (and money).

When's the last time you were on FB and saw a sidebar ad for Coors Light and decided to run out and buy some? What about a car advert? Vacuum cleaner? Probably never. Maybe you liked their FB page, but it likely didn't result in a conversion (meaning you ran out and bought something from that company).

Now if you were on a forum or doing a search for the best Vacuum or best beer or what car you should buy -- you're already interested in the product and far more receptive to being pitched too at that moment.

If you can't have a captive audience, then the next best thing (or maybe better thing) is to have an audience who is looking to buy already. FB and other social sites don't provide that...
In that case I've entirely missed what was said because the words I read just seem to be about male cofounders potentially being dicks. I definitely cannot see Milo's "he'll rape you one day" interpretation but I suspect that's largely because he's made that up.
What is funny is how common the misconception that they provided this for RHEL5 (for a total of 13 years or more of support) was before it actually happened.
What about thousands of browsers using their GPUs?

I keep bringing this up in these threads cause I hope it will get the interest of some real webGL pros who could really improve on it.
