If Apple wants to support privacy, it should be possible to route one or more apps to a dedicated VPN where their traffic can be restricted and monitored closely.

I did try that out, when I was seeing if I could stand switching after multiprocess stuff landed. It's closer to the fairly-polished Chrome experience if you use about:profiles, rather than messing around with custom command lines.

But, as you say, the problem with that is that it doesn't handle opening links correctly.

I could see if I could write a URL handler that queries the window manager to find the last Firefox window that had focus on the current desktop (probably possible, but I'm unfamiliar with that domain)... or I could view Firefox not supporting this natively as a sign that it doesn't think my use case is very important, and stick with a browser that works without jumping through hoops.

It's not that I'm averse to putting some work in, per se -- I'm now in the middle of poking at writing a Firefox add-on to see if I can fix my complaints about insufficiently sticky containers -- it's just that writing my own OS url handler is a bit too hacky for my tastes.

I didn't say it would reduce usage or addiction, just that it would make it less expensive. That means addicts would be less likely to have to turn to crime to obtain it.
Legalization would also reduce overdoses, because almost all overdoses are due to unpredictable supply. I think this would be called harm reduction.

I agree that the legalization of cocaine, meth and heroin is a very difficult question. They are just… problematic.
I see what you mean. Back then, the internet was an exciting place with rules you had to learn to be accepted at all in certain communities. The internet was smaller then and required a certain level of technical knowledge to properly navigate it. This level acted as a filter against the most mundane most of the internet has become now. I remember sites like hell.com that were basically web experiments meets digital art installation. There used to be lots of trashy little pages and everything felt like the whole web was trying to find its identity.

The feeling of meeting real people went away for me after my FidoNet days. You had to wait up to two days for a message from Canada to Germany to arrive. It was frustrating but it was great. Dial-up BBS' were all the rage before a regular geek could access it from home. Even FidoNet-Email-Gateways existed.

So I guess every generation has its own frontier stories. For you, it was the internet, for me, it was dial-up BBS', for others it was disk swapping, building a simple computer from scratch or feeding paper strips to a warehouse-sized monstrosity.

Still, it's pretty obvious that we as a whole of humanity are not prepared to converse civilly on a global scale.

Started at a new position at my company and noticed lack of organization and processes.

I've gotten pushback on a few things that simply don't make sense to me.

1. Refuse to document, or documentation is in a flat file SVN directory with minimal organization. When I offer to sort/organize into a wiki page I'm told that it's a waste of time.

2. No ticket system, entire department uses email-all, when mentioning ticket system, I'm told that is a bad idea because it could lead to "tracking of tasks."

3. The idiom of "We've always done it this way" is something that is a day to day response.

I'm not the guy who comes in and wants to change everything, but I'm here to improve myself and the company.

Is this a culture thing? What do you do when you find yourself in this situation.
Having witnessed sexism at work I have a theory about this. I think men are more likely to fight for a raise than women.

If a man is turned down for a raise or promotion he thinks he deserves, he can argue for it and will sometimes be successful. If a woman is turned down for a raise or promotion she thinks she deserves, no matter how she handles the issue, people seem to treat it as a case of discrimination.

I’ve seen women quietly leave a company rather than fight for a raise because they didn’t want to create a controversy.

Sexual discrimination is real and hurts women. I don’t deny that. But I think making every personnel problem involving a women a case of sexual discrimination is more hurtful to women than it is helpful. It makes it impossible for a woman to assert herself without appearing to be an aggressive feminist.

Maybe no one sees anything wrong with it, and perhaps there is nothing wrong with it, hence the downvotes.

What's depressing though is not that people post pictures of a life you wish you had, they do it while not giving a shit about you, no matter how much you might admire them. If you have millions of followers, or maybe even a couple hundred thousand, then statistically a few die everyday, without even so much as a passing thought.

And yet we waste so much time looking at these people's content and letting it depress us, and not enough at those around us who matter more.

Since winners aren't drawn at random and it takes skill to win the World Series, it's not a "lottery", it's a "contest."

https://gleam.io/guides/no-purchase-necessary

>A contest is a type of promotion you can run in which an element of skill is involved. For a promotion to be considered a contest, entries must be skill-based and winners must be chosen based on merit. Meaning they cannot be drawn randomly.

>Examples of contests include:

>"Best Photo" Competition

>Voting Contest

>Sports-Based Contest

>Essay Competition

>"Tell us in less than 20 words..." Competition

>When you run a skill-based contest, winners are not randomly drawn, hence removing one of the three defining features of a lottery. As a result, contests are not impeded by No Purchase Necessary laws.

Let's not forget that for C style switch statements, the implicit fallthrough is often sited as a bug (though it looks to have been influenced by fortran's computed GOTO, so certainly there was earlier precedent).

I will tell you having done over a decade of maintenance programming. The absolute worse thing you can do is have implicit fallthrough. Bugs of omission are the hardest to fix, since it's unclear what the original intended behavior was supposed to be, let alone whether the code is actually doing what it's supposed to. Basically there are three things you have to figure out when working with other's code, you have to figure out: what the code is doing, what the code is supposed to be doing, and what the original author thought the code was doing. What often happens, is you find a piece of code that looks like it's a bug, but it turns out that there's some edge case that requires a piece of code to look like it does (and maybe the current bug is less severe than the edge case that it deals with). Something like a missing break can be one of the hardest things to reason about in code, because it's unclear if the author knew something about each case than me, or if they just forgot to put one.

Personally, I support neither continue, nor break. Code duplication is not as big a sin as most programmers feel it is. But I can appreciate an explicit continue, since it's a useful enough construct for people to keep implementing fallthrough. I also might vote for a new keyword other than continue, since continue fells slightly overloaded in this context.
It's what others have been doing as well. For instance, Java Streams were written from the start with a fork/join execution model in mind, and in Rust rayon::par_iter() is often a drop-in replacement of the regular sequential iter().
Hopefully "semantically meaningful" is pretty self-explanatory, it just means using HTML elements in an organized and structured way (like not using a span when you should use a paragraph). "Accessible" means usable by screen readers and potentially other accessibility tools for people with low vision or other disabilities.
> Thirty times faster than Handlebars

This is versus the rust implementation of Handlebars. I'm not sure what the internals of that look like (whether it complies templates to native code or what).

I do know that the JS version compiles templates directly into string concatenation, so I wonder how Zapper running as wasm compares to rendering a compiled handlebars template.

I think it comes back to Parkinson's law of triviality (something we call "bike shed"). People get extremely hung up on the menial or irrelevant aspects of a taks or project - processes are something everyone can weigh in on, making the scope of chaning processes nearly impossible especially if the company already has a consensus against change, or requires entire consensus to ever actually apply changes.
Sometimes, this is the case because processes are successfully concealing how little work is being done.
As an example: Consider using a <div class=“paragraph”> vs using <p>. The <p> tag is semantic and meaningful, whereas the <div> means nothing. A screen reader (or other markup interpreters) can’t tell what a <div> means

I live in Christchurch and looking to buy a house here. There were so many dodgy repairs done after the quakes that there's a real risk of buying a lemon.

I have a friend where their foundations were repaired, turned out the builders had basically papered over the cracks. There are countless stories like this one.

I think the market in Christchurch is going to be very odd once the scale of these bad repairs comes out. New houses are definitely at a premium.

This statement is a bit confused. The wave-particle duality is just a confusing and pretentious way of saying that both the model of using particles and the model of using waves are incomplete. They are incomplete because the correct (or at least more precise) model to describe nature, is to use quantum fields. This is a model that describe reality exactly at a vast range of scales. This is a model that supercede our old imprecise particle or wave models. The "many worlds" interpretation does nothing more than "interpret" this new confusing model in a way that is more palatable to our intuition.
This is actually an excellent point, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Interesting, so given your implementation only targeting light skinned "suspects" would using this be racist?
I recently read Bruce Hood's The Self Illusion: How the Social Brain Creates Identity. I think there are some interesting ideas there and in Matthew Lieberman's Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect about the evolutionary value of consciousness that are a bit of a different take, in that consciousness's advantage might be seen as an improvement to collaboration and that identity is more of a means to that end than an end in itself.
You're correct, it's more correct to say it's an illusion of parallelism. On human timescales the parallelism appears real but it's really not.

> It's like saying heat isn't real, only energetic particles are real, despite the fact that I just got burned by my hot pan

Which is true, heat isn't real, just like my car isn't real. These are labels we apply to loose macroscopic phenomena. And so it is with consciousness.

At some level of abstraction, we can certainly talk about consciousness as something real since it's clearly a phenomenon requiring explication, but the "real" we're talking about in this sort of debate is some irreducible metaphysical existence, such as that posited by dualism.

Nonsense on stilts. More serious exploits are routinely found in everyday tech. This is not a serious exploit, a stock install of WordPress isn't vulnerable. The idea that WP somehow is especially complacent about security compared to other major software projects is just a trope.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that WP need not be exposed when a site can be delivered with static files. That's a fair argument that I agree with. But no one's advocating abandoning IOS or Windows or Android because if you install a certain app, or if you use a browser or open a certain type of file you run the risk of exploits. To advocate the throwing out the baby with the bathwater over a bug like this suggests you cherry pick your concerns and/or have an axe to grind.

No, and some philosophies deem consciousness unnecessary/irrelevant. To them, consciousness is a byproduct of brain activity, much like the heat generated from a burning lamp.

> From what I understand, they actually pay based on how many times a song is played,

Yes, I should have been more precise. Just like with a radio play, the second play in theory goes to the same mass of people, but is counted again. So I should have said "they know exactly how many people and how many times it was played, and pay accordingly". I believe they discount multiple plays from the same person, to prevent abuse.

> In the old days of purchasing music, it didn't matter how many times a person played the disc/track - it cost the same. You might argue that each play represents the marginal utility to the listener (and should thus be the basis for compensation), but I'm not sure that's entirely true.

You might argue that, but you might also argue that when you bought a CD, you bought 10-15 tracks, even if you only wanted one or two. So again, for a consumer, Spotify is more fair, because you only pay for what you consume, and artists liked the old model where you paid for 15 tracks even if you only wanted two.
