And the problem is that it's mostly software. The main camera people (Cannon/Nikon) are terrible at software. From what I understand Cannon is a bit better, but all of the software I use from Nikon is horrible. I love the lenses, and my Nikon body, but anytime I have to use their software I cringe. I also don't see how they fix this anytime soon. It's just not part of their DNA.

Uhhh... Don't worry about it if the users are happy?

I mean, unless you're allocating 1GB RAM for a text editor, I say don't worry about it if the users aren't noticing it. It's super easy to nitpick your own work to the point of wrecking what you've done right.

Interesting. We definitely had the paid version. (The pro plan IIRC). We had a couple of isolated incidents of spam flags, but it was less than 1% of receivers.
thanks, i took a quick look and found http://learn.customer.io/recipes/role-based-messaging-campai... (it's nice that you have these recipes).

but that recipe illustrates the exact issue i run into (and maybe you have a better solution): i don't want to have to define branches for each segment ("role" in the recipe) in your campaign manager. i want to pass in a collection of recipients (each having the role attribute set) and hashes of attributes with each tied to a role, and have the template select the appropriate hash of attributes to display (e.g., [title, date, author, body, image] for articles) based on that attribute rather than creating whole new templates and branches for each segment.

this let's me programmatically add more "versions" of the newsletter without going through the clunky process of branching and duplicating templates (it's DRY'ing out the templating process).

so with articles for example, west coasters get article A and east coasters get article B, each having their own hash of [title, date, author, body, image] slotted into the right places based on the location attribute on the recipient (in this example).

liquid could be the answer, but does your API make it easy to pass in a hash of hashes to make it all work? many products seem to be missing this particular feature and as a result, don't work for my use case.
Already was the place to go.
I happen to agree.

I live all of 20 minutes from the article's location and drive through it twice a week on average (I live in Grove, OK)

DG's got several stores around here, and it's amazing on the placement of them to be honest. It isn't really just a "find a hole in the ground where there's no competition"

Dollar General (at least in this area) likes to plant a store in a location that is just outside of the city limits and soaks in a TON of business on the dynamic of "do I drive all the way in town for X, or do I make a quick trip."

Across the board, they aren't cheaper on a unit by unit cost, they just offer smaller amounts/package and sell for slightly less to give that perception.

One down the road next to me is always packed. They're just too accessible when the alternative is driving half an hour into town.
"Hey Siri" has always seemed like such an awkward phrase to me. "Alexa" flows so much better, besides the general awkwardness if someone in the room has that name.

I figure it's along the same lines of being a sex worker or something like that. I would gladly be one if it weren't for the fact that I (probably) wouldn't be able to work in tech and would have to live with social stigma attached.

Same goes for cyber-crime. I want to be on the good side of cyber, and I can't do that if I'm a criminal. I also don't want to live my whole life looking over my shoulder over fear of something I did in the past. This happened to malwaretech and they're not even sure he actually committed the crime.

I think there are analogies to the article the other day on fear-driven investments in automation industries. As well as post-WWI naval construction.

To wit, can they afford not to sink money into it, if their competitors are, even if success if less than certain?

The rewards that seem like they would be realized are generational enough so as to render much of the existing market obsolete. So to be caught without any expertise, on a risk-basis is more costly than seemingly dumping money down the drain.

You have to remember that broad support for Japanese characters in URLs are a fairly recent, and haven't really caught on.

So advertisers want people to type something in their native script in order to get to the product website. So while an English advertisement campaign might tell people to go directly to johnnysmattresses.com, a Japanese campaign couldn't do this, and instead ask people to search for ジョニーの布団.
There was literally nothing wrong with the MBP2013 keyboard. This endless pursuit of making anorexic electronics by Apple will only continue inventing faults like these - there's simply a limit to how thin these things can go and maintain durability, and that's what we're seeing here.

Jobs never would have let this nonsense happen. He'd have pressed the key and thrown the machine at whomever invented this "butterfly" switch.
As a T420 owner who can barely make it through a 2 hour movie on my 9 cell battery, this comment is confusing.
Siri (the company) was a spin-off from SRI – Stanford Research Institute.

The initial product, before the Apple acquisition, was an iPhone app with a chat interface. I don't recall that it supported voice input.

It is still possible that the founders were thinking ahead to voice input and wake words when they named the company.
Only in the most indirect way.

By clearing out the Van Allen belts, I suppose you could reduce the need for radiation shielding of satellites and spacecraft that need to operate in them and cross them. Less shielding would equate to lower weight spacecraft which require less energy to be flung into space.

But then you'd probably get some atmospheric warming from the RF energy, so it might all be a wash. I certainly can only speculate, but I think the short answer is 'no'.
I'm already subscribed ;)
Yeah, but remote work is also a thing. This is why I'm planning to move to a country with a stronger currency and retire to somewhere where it's weaker. I could live a very good life with the same amount of money that would afford me an OK life in other parts of the world. Without having to fear being persecuted by LEO.
I never implied that W3C Schools is related to W3C. But I do agree with you: that's bad. But for me that's a public secret. I don't think that's the main reason why I dislike W3C schools, though. My problem with W3C Schools is that they are not the right away to learn web development in a proper way: https://www.impressivewebs.com/w3schools-ugly-bad-good/. MDN holds a far greater standard on a whole lot of aspects: following exact W3C specs, being up to date, design, just to name a few obvious ones.

The article / study only seemed to consider specific ad buys though very particular conditions -- particular app / ad network and waiting till targets showed up in a geofence.

It seems that an even simpler method would be basic retargeting. You can buy traffic individually, either by watching the requests back to your origin and locating IPs, or any location data coming back from basic DMP's it would seem this could be done.
It amazes me that articles like this get flagged so quickly. At risk of going too meta, it makes me curious how flagging/vouching gets weighted.

What if the answer is something other than a Republican system of government? That was great for the days when news traveled more slowly and human lives changed relatively little from one generation to the next. But the accelerating aspects of technology in general and communications in particular - both physical and informational - have revealed its limitations. Nowadays the population of Facebook is nominally larger than that of any individual country. We could, if we were so minded, build systems of governance that were completely participatory and leveraged the near-instantaneous communication we have come to think of as normal. Do we really benefit any more from delegating our most important tasks to small, opaque, and corruptible groups of politicians who are forced to spend ever more absurd sums on election campaigns in order to be taken seriously?
Yup, a good reason to observe the rule to only post original articles, and kill this one.
Given the scale of technology at the time, it was a hotbed of agriculture, timber, mining and transport.

To New York and London of the 1800s, the Midwest (especially) looked a lot like China did to us 20 years ago -- a massive pool of resources that could be exploited using the new technology.

Perhaps what we need is more tools for creating languages so that it doesn't take a massive engineering effort to create a new language and to enable language features to be implemented once rather than for each new language. That way, we could have a ton of languages and everyone can choose their own "Goldilocks" language.

LLVM is a great effort in this direction and now language designers can target multiple architectures and get a ton of optimizations essentially for free. And it's great to see things like coroutines get added at that level. But more could be built at that level and on top of it to give higher-level language features in that same essentially free manner. It'd be cool to see stuff like borrow checking and garbage collection get added in a similarly reusable way.

The end result of this would be that syntax, the stuff that's mostly easy and yet most prone to bike shedding and developer aesthetics, could be mostly decoupled from the serious work normally associated with creating a language and compiler. And developers with less expertise could build quality languages that appeal to an unmet syntactical aesthetic without having to reinvent as much of the wheel as is currently necessary. Instead of having one language that brings together the best ideas, we'd just make those best ideas reusable so that any language could easily bring them together using whatever syntax shakes out of the bike shedding process.

Sorry, that is not true. Apple documents all of its platforms quite thoroughly, and Safari is one of them. Theirs is simply not an analogue to MDN.

“Apple doesn’t attempt to document general-purpose Web technologies without an eye on its own platforms” might be a more accurate statement, but even that is shaky because they spent a lot of time explaining HTML5 media while killing Flash.

Yes, this is not an AGI. But the hockey-stick takeoff from defeats some players, to defeats an undefeated world-champion, to defeats the version of itself that beat the world champion 100% of the time is nuts.

The service was truly first class, compared to other offerings at the time. It wasn't a very big aircraft and the acceleration wasn't as much as I was hoping for. The booze was free flowing and they happily served me for the whole flight. The announcements were informative and entertaining.

That's pretty much it... I enjoyed it but it wasn't life altering.

Was it worth it? Probably not for most. It was worth it just to have had the experience, in my case. I'd always wanted to go and they were shutting down. So, I went. At the time, I could have spent the money more wisely, but I don't regret it.

You could have said the same thing about X Y Z.

Some of those turn out correctly, some of those turn out wrong. It's nearly meaningless as a generalized premise.

Nintendo's NES arrived into the global video game console market long after Atari. Sony was very far behind in arriving into the console market with the first PlayStation.

Google arrived years after Excite and AltaVista.

The portable mp3 player market was years old when the iPod arrived.

Microsoft was years behind in most cases in productivity software. It almost always chased from behind, that includes with Windows.

In the early years Dell was tiny in terms of volume compared to the computer majors at the time. How could they possibly catch up?

AMD was practically bankrupt on multiple occasions. They lost a billion dollars in 2014+2015. What chance did they have in coming back to life and challenging Intel again, having to chase from behind like they have?

The tech industry is overflowing with examples throughout its history of companies entering existing markets and taking them, or otherwise recovering from running behind.
What's the bodycount from the collective number of demonstrations in the last, say, five years? Again, these events seem isolated to protests, many specific to universities.

What is "less and less violence" measuring? As a society, homicides are going down, and incidents of civil protest are not disturbing that pattern. You might as well investigate spree shooter attacks, given that those incidents seem to be increasing as well, in casualties if not frequency.
