Except you have to call first to verify that
whoever you are calling is on wifi.

My guess is that you won't need to do that: if both sides are using Face Time capable devices and are on WiFi they will get videochat option, if not — it will be deactivated.

In Europe where wifi is something you have to search for and 3G
is something which is everywhere, this renders the feature
absolutely useless.

Nobody has Wi-Fi in their homes and offices? Must be some different Europe from where I am. Sure people do have computers with Skype installed at those places, but iPhone video chat will give much more flexibility. It would be pretty tough to show "look what my cat is doing!" using iMac or even Macbook compared to just switching to rear facing camera and pointing it at the cat.
Google AppEngine datastore?
Unpopular opinion: Python is bait and switch. Naive, aspiring programmers are told to learn Python because it’s the perfect beginner language, only to quickly hit a brick wall of complication they are unable to foresee (because they’re completely new to all this) and ill-equipped navigate.

Like it or not Python is now “enterprise grade”. The sooner it either grows up and figures out packages, ci/cd, binaries etc, or it looses its reputation at a great beginner and general programming language to something like Julia or Crystal, the better.
Personally I find it odd to choose AWS (and Cloudflare) for running a privacy-focused service out of Germany. But again, that's just my personal opinion, I guess most people here are fine with this setup. And I'm also at least a bit doubtful that a one-person startup can get all compliance aspects of running services in a global AWS and Cloudflare-based setup right, so I'd recommend using infrastructure that by default will be hosted in the EU so you don't have to worry about this.
Depends; the UK is paying more for the vaccines than Europe did, because Europe got a good trade deal. Which they invited the UK to participate in, but they declined.

I mean on the plus side, they got more vaccines faster. On the downside, they're already economically downtrodden due to the Brexit debacle + companies leaving.

Second, I'm confident those companies will be destroyed with fines for not fulfilling their contract to the UK, to the point where they 'found' nearly 30 million doses in Italy bound for exports. The facility that produced these vaccines (based in the Netherlands) wasn't even approved yet for producing things for within Europe - not because they're unfit, but because the company (AstraZeneca) never even filed the request. But surprise surprise, that production company was approved for use in the UK.
Does it work for you on Safari?
It wasn't a very interesting language back then, and it definitely isn't one today, so in my opinion nobody should learn it unless they have a really good reason (and no, you won't make big bucks working with COBOL).

Source: I have experience with COBOL banking systems. Horrible, horrible programming language.
They'll yank it out in the future after proudly claiming that one one uses it anymore (omitting the fact that they can't find it anymore).

Neither is a blanket statement like "cops violate citizen rights". The way to fix these issues is not to make it so the good ones are scared of helping people due to possible litigation. That's just silly.

It's already a job very few people want to do and you're making it even less desirable.

This is a good way to ensure you only get shitty cops.

It's kinda baffling me, I can't do two things at the same time. At best I listen to music, but any words (podcast) or visual distraction totally pulls me off of what I was doing.

Same goes with using a chat feature while in a different meeting.

So the whole picture in picture to me is more distraction.

I'm glad to see some people find it valuable because I was failing to find its usefulness.
This is pretty damn cool, especially given it was only started in December. Nice
Of course they are not bogus.
I'm of two minds. I don't think most office work can be done from home all the time, but I think a lot of it can be done efficiently from home. On the other hand I also value the social aspect as well as the easy onboarding in-person.

For GS, if their competitors are offering better working conditions, their top employees may switch over, leaving them with the ones who don't have a choice. Maybe he would better understand it as saying "Sales employees don't need a nice car or business class tickets or commissions to make sales." Technically true, but if your competitor is offering it you might want to do it as well.

Why would FF be going our of your way, but not Chrome? Neither is the default on Windows.
> Why should some whose house went from $200k to $2M be getting a tax break?

Because they bought a 200K house and budgeted for taxes on a 200K house.

The paper estimate of it being worth 2M right now doesn't change anything about the house they actually live in.
previous industry: particular production db had a few terabytes of data but didn't have customer data. We could just get a dump of prod db, not super sensitive, no drama. After we migrated it to aws rds we could just spin up new dbs from snapshots.

One colleague spent a few weeks pruning a db snapshot down to something minimal ish so our dumb old suite of regression tests with uncontrolled data dependencies could still pass. One off manual activity.

While I have yet to actually learn Ruby, I greatly enjoyed reading the first little bit of the Poignant Guide.

I like Python, I really do, but it's quite unlike the Python culture to have anything so much as resembling Ruby's Poignant Guide.

What Steve Yegge says about the Python communities response to "Why doesn't 'quit' exit the interpreter" - ie "RTFM" - is much the same reason I don't use Slackware anymore. It wasn't that I didn't like Slackware, or didn't know how to use it, but that so many Slackware Neckbears had so little patience for the newbies.
Sorry. I meant that:

- Installing stuff into system directories from through a second package management system (perl = cpan, ruby = gems, etc) is generally a bad idea (e.g. the apt-maintained perl libraries are not seen by cpan, so it will need to install those if there is a requirement for one of them in a cpan package you are installing).

- Upgrading versions of Perl libraries that are used by system (outside of the official package management system) Perl scripts can cause unexpected results.

This is why perlbrew is useful. It manages self-contained Perl installations that you can switch between in your particular environment.

The only downside that I've seen is with system-installed scripts that use the "#!/usr/bin/env perl" method to specify which Perl to run. I haven't seen this, in particular with Perl scripts, but I ran into this with virtualenv + comix as a Python script with "#!/usr/bin/env python" for the shebang line (it blew up since my virtualenv didn't have py-gtk installed).
Not yet, but I log my body weight every day and lately I've considered doing it in kilograms to force myself to use the metric system more often.
They'd likely be equally good at things that also require large-scale, long-term thinking about complex zero-sum competitive resource optimization problems. Like, for example, war strategy. I don't know if it generalizes beyond that, though.

It's not whether it's devastating to people today. It's about the fairy tales your kids get told when they're growing up.

And grandparent's point wasn't that Canadian's don't have a cultural heritage of invasions and battles, but rather that the Mongol invasion was somewhat different from most of the things going on in Western Europe (e.g. almost all major cities were sacked; casualties were at levels not to be seen in Western Europe until World War 2) and had widespread and long-ranging effects on society that made it qualitatively different from Western Europe. Second paragraph of the "Influence of the Mongol invasion on Rus' society" section of the cited Wikipedia article is relevant here.
Can this be used as a replacement for backticks or system calls? Would it result in a lower memory cost?
Read the PDF linked in the article, and then read the statute cited in the PDF, 28 USC 2679 (d)(1). Also read section (d)(3). Link to statute: [1]. This seems a lot less interesting or significant than the article is making it out to be.

Any lawyers here who can explain if there is something deeper going on?

What miracles did he do? I’m genuinely confused. Seems like he’s just doing podcast interviews these days. And he moved to Austin? Hardly a Newtonian miracle year. I think he’s just getting mentored by Rogan which is why he’s doing a bit better
>> our rights were violated as part of a citation.
>> unless there was substantial monetary damages

I take it that this was not a criminal prosecution that might result in actual jail time. Was it a minor traffic offense? Part of the "thick skin" i mentioned above is a pragmatism re the "rights" of individuals in minor cases. Highschool teaches us that every trial is the same, that beyond-reasonable-doubt, perjury and and all the rights apply to everyone in ever case. The reality is that absolute respect for such things is a limited resource. Impeach every cop with less-than-perfect testimony in a traffic case and you won't have any cops left to testify in murder cases. Give every drunk driving charge a full jury trial and the economy would stop as every able body would spend more time sitting in the jury box than working. Functioning within the system means working within those realities. Ideology dies a quick death when faced with the staggering number of charges brought each day.
interesting, I wonder if you can use this with GitHub self hosted runners?
Journalism's single publication subscription business model is as absurd as ever.

I read hundreds of articles per week from dozens of journals from various backgrounds. I have three or four local newspapers I'm interested in, two or three in my mother tongue and dozens of international publications I like to read from. I tried subscribing to one of the local papers and it got boring pretty fast. I tried to subscribe to the Economist, but apart from two or three great articles per week I found them very dogmatic and I missed on all local events.

As long as there is not a serious Spotify like entrant journalism will keep dying.
And in addition, the classes are of different sizes. There is a such thing as yellow light, and red and green looks like it. There is no such thing as magenta light -- light is a linear spectrum, not a circle -- and yet red and purple together look like this nonexistent color. We see a continuity where there's a hard break.
Jeez, can't you kids just quit this square-wheel churn and just buckle down and learn to write makefiles? It's really not that hard.

Yes. The information that "Stockholm syndrome" is a bogus pop psychology theory disputed as to its reality today, has proven extremely useful anytime the core argument of the other side is that something was/is "bad" and has only been retained "because of Stockholm syndrome".
It's all up to you in terms of what you want to do with your life. I can only offer my own experiences and conclusions. Currently, I am trying to pare down browsing as much as possible, but COVID has been a challenge. I'm considering stopping news reading entirely, but that's a different philosophical idea altogether.

On a day-to-day basis, the ideal outcome for me would be to naturally use computers just as tools to make things happen rather than as a self-feeding nexus for various distractions that leave me unsatisfied.

As long as your usage is as intentional as possible, you should be able to naturally gravitate to an agreeable life as defined per your own instincts. Or at the very least, you will not be in a position where your internet usage negatively affects your life. Restructuring lifelong habits is easier said than done, but it's possible.
Even the buses in Paris are pretty great. About halfway through my last visit, I switched almost entirely from subway to buses. They aren't necessarily the fastest way to get across town, but I found them clean and convenient, and just a great way to take everything in.

This is not always true. Some amount of packet loss exists over WiFi and 3G and in this case this packet loss is not indicative of congestion.

Canadian healthcare is horrible.

"Out of 11 countries, Canada was ranked ninth for health care, placing just above France and the United States."

https://www.kelownanow.com/news/news/National_News/Canada_ra...

"217,500 Canadians left the country for health care in 2017, according to Statistics Canada. If those travelling with the patients are included in the count, the total rises to 369,700 people."

In this thread, someone said people travel to the US even from Norway. (!!!)

The US has the absolute best system money can buy, period.

It's just that most people don't have much money, and that is the problem that needs fixing.
I like web-assembly for the same reason I like Rust, actor-model and compile time checked state machines. It makes it more plausible that we can build robust services in the future. And it even feels like Computer Engineering when I'm working with these concepts. To me the web-assembly runtime is the next iteration of isolated applications, after containers which came after VMs, and I'm sure HN could come up with a bigger picture, but this is OK for my purpose.

And I know nothing about browsers, GUI and front-end stuff, but Web-assembly is never the less very interesting for me, and I consider it the biggest thing since Docker.
Elite has 100x the content and playability of star citizen and is probably thousands of times less buggy. They're not even comparable.

I downloaded star citizen out of curiosity during free fly last year and there's virtually nothing to do. That's if you can even get into your ship without crashing. It took me many attempts. Core gameplay loops just aren't there. The only people having fun are those that "make their own game" by role playing.

I've played a good amount of Elite. I got bored eventually but there's a ton of solid gameplay and virtually no bugs. It's a better game than star citizen in its current state in every way I can think of.

The buggyness of star citizen is unforgivable. I've played many early access and alpha games and nothing I've touched is as unplayably buggy as SC has been for years.
My main reason for not using Notion is that its search is half-baked: You cannot search for headlines and body content in a single query. Say if you query for "H B", and H is only in the headline, while B is only in the body, you get no hit.
I don't know why they don't provide a deb, but assuming all the build dependencies are installed, converting the rpm via Alien works fine.

Also, be aware if you are using your existing DOSBox directory: games that require installation might not work if installed via the original DOSBox.
I am a european and agree with OP. Vienna is nice but smelly and one does not feel particularly safe there.

https would stop injection just the same and is just http-over-ssl/tls. You could also simply sign the the content (but that would still allow wire-tapping).

Both still leave the original text based protocol and would stop ISP header injection.

Another defense against such trickery would be a legal one: make it illegal to tamper with data sent between two peers on the internet.

Imagine the postal service opening your mail and changing a couple of words in your mail just because they could.
It actually reminds me of those cable folding doors (http://www.bifold.com/note.php) which have been around for a while. They aren't usually used on garage doors though, more for airplane hangers and pole sheds.

I guess I'm not seeing the benefits for the extra complexity.
> what if you're not eligible for a self-assessment

If you're doing higher transaction volume and are not eligible for a self-assessment, you have to have a certified QSA sign off on an audit of the internal processes.

The QSA will make sure that all the required systems and processes are in place and sign off on it.

PCI is definitely a fairly frustrating thing to deal with but there are some good practices underlying it that many orgs would simply not do if it weren't required by their merchant processor.
Termination (really, non-bottom-ness vs bottom-ness) is a semantic (denotational) property, independent of the whims of any correct compiler. Execution/evaluation order, on the other hand is an implementation (operational) choice. For an implementation to be correct, the termination or nontermination of generated code must be agree with the semantics of the language.
they plan to remove a hidden about:config preference for the system print dialog and replace it with a _dedicated keyboard shortcut_. if you think that's evidence that they want to take away your control, i beg to differ.

Something I always wondered whenever I saw pictures of that mall is why was it abandoned. I've turned to google multiple times but there doesn't seem to be anything about it.
Two problems with your logic:
1) A view is an action, not a person.
2) International viewers can view the URL even if there is much less of a chance it will be relevant to their job search
Depending on where you are coming from (sceptic, or a more "relaxed" view of unscientific proceeds), you can try several things. Over at ubiome.com you can order a microbiome test and see what strains you are missing or deficient, and then go and take exactly those strains. They might be hard or impossible to come by, but this might be the more targeted approach.

What I did was just throwing lots of different (valid!) bacterial strains in, and see what comes of it (ubiome wasn't available back then, and regular lab tests are quite expensive). Kefir did the most for me, and it has different L.bacillus strains and some yeasts in it (http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/177589/1/04.pdf). Kefir is reported to kill off or starve strains that don't belong in its ecosystem, but it's quite possible that this is not true or that there is point beyond which the L.bacilli will die off and the unbeneficial strains take over. Smell and look are reportedly good indicators for that, but I didn't find any studies for that. One would have to send it into a lab to make sure.
As the parent of an eleven month old baby I'm going to dispute that a lack of sleep does anything but make you reliant on caffeine, and useless at doing anything that requires actual thought.
I found that several applications would cause it to go crazy (lock up), including many Java applications and open office. Further, if you started adding many extensions, they would cause crashes (I'm sure it's because they were badly written, but I thought the whole point of haskell was no crashes).

So, if you find nowadays Java apps and openoffice work fine (or, you don't use them), and you are careful about which extensions you add, then you will probably be fine.
I agree that journalism is a public good. Having the government fund it sends shivers through my spine. Recently where I live the public broadcasting corp. was threatened with cutbacks due to a perceived slant in coverage. The threats were then carried out after the politician in question was given chairmanship of the parliamentary committee on the budget. That to me is so troublesome I don't consider it viable.
