I'm the opposite - i have VPSes spread across a dozen or so countries, and i can't take advantage of any of the providers' differences because it's so much more important to have a uniform stack across all my hosts.

(free backups! free ftp space! free database hosting! custom control panel with a totally different api! etc - all pretty useless if you also have to architect for hosts without them)

On a side note, i can't use DO because they don't allow multiple IP addresses per VM.
I thought this was going to be complaining about salt...
Yes, taking over information streams and injecting ads. Ads are where all Google's money comes from to pay for the rest of it all.
If you add lemon to raw fish, you'll get a chemical reaction. If you salt anything, you'll get a chemical reaction. So much of cooking is chemical reactions.

So even your question isn't asking much.
Because of my own ignorance, I'd assumed The Economist Style Guide was another tome mainly full of usage rules. Having actually looked at a bit of it now, it seems much more accessible and useful than that.
>Newspapers have an incredibly important social function as muckrackers, exposing corruption, explaining politics, and breaking news

They USED to do that. Now they're owned by conglomerates and billionaires to parrot their ideals.

> The icon definition hasn't expanded with its new scope, so specifying low, medium, and high definition formats is left up to server hacks

Not really. The Windows icon format .ico did "responsive design" before the term was even coined. It supports multiple sizes and bit depths (remember Windows used to have to support everything from 1-bit to 24-bit colour) stored within a single file.

> There's no way of in-lining the icon (e.g. for single page applications, appliances, etc).

Huh? <link rel="shortcut icon"> works with data: URIs just like everything else. For example, my personal site uses one: http://ajf.me/

Source code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="data:image/x-icon;base64,AAABAAEAEBACAAEAAQCwAAAAFgAAACgAAAAQAAAAIAAAAAEAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA////AP//AAD+fwAA/38AAP9/AADFbwAAuW8AAL1vAADBbwAA/W8AAL1vAADDQwAA/+8AAP9vAAD/8wAA//8AAP//AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA">

> Apple now has their own incompatible favicon "apple-touch-icon" which is just a higher resolution favicon.

This is mostly true, but I guess they wanted to avoid scaling up 16x16 favicons into a blurry mess on iOS, so made icons specially tailored for the iOS homescreen into their own category.

> They can be used to trick less technical users into believing a HTTP site is a HTTPS one. For example make the favicon a green padlock. This is mostly a browser issue, and may be resolved by marking all HTTP sites as insecure (which some have proposed).

This could be solved in future by allowing them only for HTTPS sites :D
Wow - I'm a little surprised that blekko would be acquired by IBM, but I suppose IBM must see Watson as a huge business now. I think blekko was starting to struggle to stay competitive in consumer search (their backend technology was always pretty good, it's just they struggled to show those results well).
I think this is reasonable normal in most civilised societies.
NFTs are kind of an oxymoron in my opinion.

For a digital object to be scarce it needs a central authority.

If a digital object is decentralized, it has no scarcity and is worthless.

E.g. a limited edition skin in a game needs the central authority to make it usable in the game. So why do they need blockchain?

E.g. a blockchain piece of data is accessible to all, so why pay for it?

With jq I constantly trip up on quoting issues and the query syntax. It takes me forever to write a jq query since I don't use it that often and end up forgetting its DSL.

With PowerShell, JSON can be imported as an object, which is much easier to work with since it uses the same syntax as any other object.

That said, Bash is much faster to start up than PowerShell is, so for low-latency applications like window manager keybindings, I have no choice but to use jq on Bash.
History will be very unkind to the people who catastrophized everything over the past year (and subsequently used every opportunity to preach, advance their own political agendas and then in a dehumanizing fashion condemn everyone else).
Searching for "Beijing Lakesha Network Technology" (with quotes) only seems to bring up a couple of pages of results, most of which are trademark registrations (including the US trademark registration for Monkey[0] — the info Apple allegedly refused to supply when requested. I mean: it is publicly available already, I guess their administrative obligation ends with providing the company name and the offending mark in the App Store rejection notification?).

To me, that doesn't seem like they are 'farming' trademarks or patents (not that anyone claimed they were - I'm just looking for anything that smells fishy, and to me: this is not) — that is to say: just a couple of pages of trademarks seems reasonable to me, and just seems like a fairly small(ish) handful of protected IP that one could infringe upon — it doesn't strike me that their business model is trademarking lots of generic words. It's certainly a lot less trademark filings than the likes of Facebook and such.

Totally! My best friend had an SGI Indy workstation (with a webcam!) at home when they came out... That was in 1993 (?) : )

Can you imagine getting to play on a SGI workstation to then come back home and find my 486 (which I'm pretty sure I got in 1991)?

yeah I don't know I think people might spot the difference. But maybe most of these robbers have a method that says if you see anything like a security guard don't figure out if it is one just go rob somewhere that definitely doesn't have it because there's always somewhere else to rob - but maybe one of the groups of robbers is better than everyone else and they have a real robber mastermind in charge who determines the security guard is inflatable. Then it's on.

on edit: added in missing two words that clarified meaning.
Thing is, you don't have to believe Firefox is trustworthy to believe it's your best bet for surfing the web. The whole point of Tor is to be trustworthy; hence, there's no point in it if you don't trust it. Plus, like you said, using Tor may be worse than nothing, so you have to have a pretty strong motivation and pretty strong trust. Using Firefox or OSX requires no such trust.
Anyone fancy heading down to the anonymous IRC chans to find out what they're saying about it? I would but I don't know where they are, and I don't want to think about what horrors the anon crew might have googlebombed to the top of the "4chan anonymous irc channel server" results.
That's so, but modern Mac applications can't run in GNUStep; Apple has added too many new APIs which aren't covered by the OpenStep standard.
Even if someone were to claim that 9/11 (the event) was “interesting”, I fail to see how that could be construed as offensive. “Interesting” is a neutral adjective, lacking judgment. Something can be judged to be both “interesting” and “great” or “interesting” and “bad”. I would personally say that 9/11 was a both interesting and disturbing event. (Most disturbing events are pretty much by definition interesting.)
Thanks!

For me, it is more about the convenience of not having to shutdown IIS, Apache, Nginx, etc. every time the host operating system boots.

Further, since I am using a Windows host machine for most of my development, it is impossible to fully replicate the server setup on that OS - hence the virtualisation.
Whereas a dynamic library is a single file, a Mac OSX framework is a directory with a specific hierarchy that gives you flexibility in versioning and sharing of common resources.

If I write an RSS parser framework and embed it in an app, when that app is installed it will be put into /Library/Frameworks. If I then open source that framework and somebody else embeds it in their app, it is guaranteed that it will be loaded exactly once. In this respect it is like a dynamic library.

Where it differs however is that multiple versions of that library can live inside the same framework. So if I make substantial improvements to the library, up the version number and embed it, it will continue to live inside that same framework directory and will share the same common resources. OSX recognizes that while these libraries are not the same, they are related.

If you're running on OSX, check out /Library/Frameworks to see what frameworks external applications have installed and how they've organized their resources. Or look in /System/Library/Frameworks for what comes installed by default.
I'm picking up Java after self-learning Python for the past couple of years as a hobbyist. Why? Because of Android. I want to do cool things to my phone now.
I can't claim to understand 4chan, but it reminds me of 4chan's past reactions to negative press such as the "Ya dun goofed" incident.

For those who didn't notice "Ya dun goofed" here is a brief summary: 4chan trolled a young girl to tears, provoking the rage of her dad, who then called the police. The incident of cyber bullying caused widespread media coverage, and 4chan responded by briefly adding music to /b/, removing porn ads, calling it SFW (with the blue background theme), posting kittens and rainbows, and deleting porn threads. Needless to say /b/ quickly tired of this and returned to their old ways. However, I mentioned it as an example of 4chan's long history of alternating between making themselves look really bad, and then trying to make themselves look good.

I may be that they are running this DDOS on themselves so that they will be seen as innocent victims just like Paypal, Mastercard, etc.
I wonder: which software is the hardest to crack nowadays? As a hobby musician, I know that Ableton Live and Cubase seem to have excellent protection mechanisms, as this topic turns up regularly in forums. Especially Ableton seems to be nasty, as it is often usable for many hours before the protection kicks in. I think this is pretty clever, since it not only makes it harder for the cracker, but the user might be more inclined to buy the software after he has invested many hours in some music he cannot load anymore (Disclaimer: I own Ableton Live, and it is worth every penny.)

This is not an excuse for China's violation of natural human rights. I'm just putting some attention to idea that Tibet is probably not the most terrified-by-China territory, rather the other way round.
Some time in the not so distant future all apple computers will run Apple Silicon. VSCode now has AS support. These text editors do a lot of indexing work in the background and can easily hit the CPU quite hard while doing that. It's not unheard of for the fans on my intel mac to spin up when I first open a new project in Sublime Text, anything that makes it more efficient is welcome in my eyes.
I am surprised you even took the time to answer, since my desire for clarity was seen as a negative influence on the community and was downvoted.

Only a community like this would pretend to actually value intellectual growth and foster an environment where asking a question is seen as worthy of downvoting.

By the way, your characterization of racism in the united states is remarkably narrow, non-historic, and sophomoric in nature. The idea that racism in the US could be put into three categories - let alone two - is offensive and deeply inaccurate.

You have it not even partially correct. Go back to the drawing board.
Non-technical speculation, but based on my own experience as an ordinary Facebook user:

I'm increasingly confident that this breach/leak has come about mostly through the privacy search setting (buried in Facebook's privacy settings - https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=privacy -) which allows "Everyone" to search for a number in order to find your profile if so enabled.

This is a bit like an option that PayID/Osko (instant bank transfers) in Australia allows - one could bash through random mobile numbers and discover more information than just the number. I've always found this option to be creepy because I don't people who might otherwise have my phone number legitimately to be able to facestalk me.

Please note that this is separate to displaying contact info publicly on one's profile page - yes, there is a dizzying array of different privacy settings on Facebook. Would Mark Zuckerberg provide have ever displayed his phone number publicly? I doubt it. But would he have allowed others who already have his phone number to search for him on Facebook? I'd say almost certainly yes.

I used to use Facebook more than I like to admit and I have provided my phone number to Facebook in the past, yet have managed to avoid being in this breach, whereas some people I know are in the data set. This means I'm quite sure that I'm not returning false negatives with the search.

This is a really interesting time capsule to me.

> Most beginners in programming eventually end up with the same ingratiating message: "Programming is easy, everyone can do it"

This was not the message when I started programming. The message was much closer to it being something that is only for extremely smart and dedicated nerds. The message has been conscientiously shifted through dedicated messaging campaigns, for better or worse.

As I learned to program, I thought the message at the time seemed wrong, that it seemed easier than the conventional wisdom suggested. But during school, that developing opinion was tempered by experiences I had working in groups with or tutoring people, some of whom just never seemed to get it; they were smart people and could understand the answer once arrived at, but never seemed able to independently get to the next answer. Some of these people are very successful with doctorates in other technical fields, but still really don't get programming.

So my conclusion is that programming is neither uniquely hard nor at all easy, but definitely has some interaction with how individual people are wired to think and learn. This doesn't lend itself to nice slogans in an ad campaign though.
Nobody’s making you do anything, if your employer forces a return to the office and you don’t like it you can find a new employer.
From experience, I can tell you that you will feel a lot better about what you create and you will feel a lot more confident in your code if you are creating things according to proven design patterns and not just hacking together applications from tutorials.
>The approach we take (and others like Oracle, JBoss, Avaya, etc) is to deploy apps in SIP Servlet containers (Java) and your media in dedicated media servers (C/C++ for example).

Which makes sense for IVR or other media heavy applications. However, Twilio seems to get a lot of people using it for call tracking and click to call...shouldn't touch a media server unless (and I have heard of people doing this) they use media to conference two people....

But, perhaps those aren't the kinds of applications leading to scaling problems...
THIS IS COOL!
It's not a privacy violation if you allow a user to export data that they have read-access to.

That applies more to email addresses than photos.

Of course, you can persuasively argue that users want their friends to have the right to save their contact information but not necessarily their photos (after all, contact information is worthless if you can't save it).
I'm just thinking that's unlikely to happen as long as some level of competition is maintained - nobody is going to put up with a walled-in internet. As soon as the cable company does this the telco will capitalize on it like mad, and vice-versa.

I can see a provider provide, say, special content only to users of their network - but that's a completely different story.
This makes sense to me. I would be quite unhappy if a traffic spike caused my analytics package to stop working.
I've always had this problem. For the past couple of releases, I've been downloading it on my VPS and then downloading it from there.
Before Facebook, couldn't I share and receive the same information over email? What if FB was a desktop email client that just made that really easy to do, like Flock for email? Would TBL or anyone care about such a silo?

If the value of the web is increasing faster than the value of Facebook, I think the web will survive... unless FB is deliberately trying to destroy the web, of course.
I haven't been through a TSA checkpoint when landing in the US, but it might depend where you fly from. The airport I usually enter the US from, Schipol (Amsterdam), has the backscatter machines installed at the gates (not the terminal checkpoints)... it is clear that they are only used to meet USA conditions. It might be that flying from a country that is not bowing to pressure from the TSA requires a security scan to be sure it meets their ludicrous requirements.
It is $200 or so for a decent 2.5" 128gb SSD that you can install into a laptop or a desktop (see http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE...).

The only real problem with that solution is that 128gb isn't enough for some people, but it is not difficult to offload the data to another storage device, either internally or externally. I've been keeping under 128gb on my main laptops (MacBook Pro and Air) for a year and a half now (when I first switched over to using SSDs) without a problem.
Can someone describe how would this graph would look like on classical 2D xy scale? Let's say for a major depressive disorder and household income please?

Sticks are terrible. I remember getting the Fire Stick and finding it incredibly prone to crashing and regularly overheating. Chromecasts aren't much better, but newer ones are also meatier in size. Video streaming wasn't meant to be done by devices the size of a pack of gum.

Roku Premieres are pretty compact but work much better than the sticks. And Roku Ultras are really, really smooth, and support Ethernet!

This is incorrect for multiple reasons:

1. There are laws in every U.S. state regarding what grounds the police have to detain someone. In most states, it boils down to reasonable articulable suspicion that someone has committed, is about to or is in the process of committing a crime. Suspicion alone isn't enough. The police don't need to tell you what their reasonable suspicion is during a detainment, but if the matter ends up in court, they will.

2. There are "stop and I.D." states. If you are in one of these states, you are required to identify yourself if detained. If you're not in one of these states, such as California, you are not required by law to identify yourself when detained. That being said, if you are lawfully detained and subsequently arrested you'll be jailed until you do identify yourself no matter which state you're in.

Well, this is the Internet, not a court of law. So you will not and cannot get what you’re looking for here.

IMO, Trump should face criminal courts of law, though I have little faith it will happen.
What do the negative vs. positive correlations mean here? I mean, you can smoke more or less, so that's clearly a scalar variable, but how are, for example, "non IQ genes" a scalar variable that can have a positive or negative correlation with smoking?
> It sounds like the perfect thing to bring modern content to vintage computers, except that its protocol requires all content to be transferred over TLS 1.2 or higher which makes it nearly impossible to access from a vintage computer or even a modern embedded system with limited CPU power.

A modern embedded system with limited CPU power that can't do TLS 1.2? An ESP8266, one of the cheapest modern embedded systems can do TLS without problems. Heck, I've seen one or two ATTiny85's doing TLS (with some stability problems... But they're not called tiny for nothing).

If the AmigaOS project can do TLS (builtin since a decade ago) with less than half of the resources that the authour says results in an unreasonable wait time (their System6), maybe it isn't actually the hardware that is the problem.
