"To make all SEO agencies - including our own - redundant!"

Why? Because SEO is the ultimate digital snake oil industry of our era. Sucking away ressources and f###ing up websites, wasting (life)time of users and developers alike.

Another surprising dark pattern related to Google logins is that in recent versions, it's basically impossible to log out from the Youtube Android app. It seems that Google is hell-bent on having everyone logged in to their services at all times.
Yeah for sure. Because you still have to deal with the native things like Xcode/gradle/swift/etc I'd actually prefer a super simple declarative UI framework that lies on top of whatever native solution you pick. Writing UI for iOS (storyboards or programmatically) is a huge pain. Meanwhile TSX + flexbox is a huge productivity boost.
fx-9860G Slim matches exactly what I was imaging. Very cool. Shame that it apparently was somewhat short-lived in the market (explains why I've never heard of it). I'm half-tempted to fish one out from ebay.

There was also apparently fx-7500G in somewhat similar form-factor.
Thank you, I didn't expect poetry when opening the comments
First thing my mind went to as well. Hardware sensors and wearable computers are so cheap now...
A better escape hatch is https://mozilla.org

Granted, Mozilla's had their own issues and some apps / sites may have become as dependent on Chrome as sites were on IE way back when. But given Google's flexing their control muscles over the last few years, a clean break is probably the better long term solution.
Another wrinkle with this: if your account is with a private G Suite instance, logging into the browser can have a profound effect since it will apply any management policies. This will probably be sold as a security enhancement - you can’t access your organizations data without active management (at least, if you’re using Chrome), but for users with access to multiple G Suite domains, this will become a real nuisance.
I wish I had time to write out a brilliant rejection of Pai. But I do not have the time, so the tl;dr summary is succinctly; fuck him.
You gave a gift they didn't like. They were rude about it. And then instead of accepting the poor apology of a child, and letting the parents deal with it, you critiqued the child's performance, which also was a refusal to accept the parent's attempt to take a step in the right direction. And you did it twice. And you hold enough of a grudge over it to share this story with the world.

I'm not sure that the child's apology was the only one missing from this story.
Btw, XOR swap...
probably slower than register-aliased swap, but it swaps two registers without using a third:

void swap(char *s, int a, int b)
{
s[b] ^= s[a];
s[a] ^= s[b];
s[b] ^= s[a];
}
No, it’s not. Software engineering is about creating and communicating logical structures, which is closer to writing philosophy papers than to cranking quadratic equations or knowing the integrals of trigonometric functions. Some high school math may be incidentally useful in the analysis of algorithmic complexity, but the structural correspondence between math and programming doesn’t show up until math transitions from quantitative (numeric and symbolic computation) to qualitative (proofs) well after the end of the high school curriculum.
This is an exciting time for banking startups like this, and I know several of the traditional players are looking to emulate this success via app-only onboarding and less reliance on branches.

Security is a concern, so I wouldn't keep my life savings in it, but they are pretty on the ball compared to the established banks. I know of two absolutely massive banks that have absolutely no clue of what IP addresses they own, let alone what services they have running on them.

I've also used both Monzo and Revolut, and I definitely prefer Revolut. I really recommend anyone in Europe tries them! The crypto integration is interesting, but day to day stuff like an automatic savings pot and interbank rate transfers are really good.
"Listening in" is inaccurate. "Ok Google" was opt-in only, and did not record users without consent. Chromium downloaded but didn't run the binary blob.

I have been kicking around a vastly different idea with the end-goal of making education more efficient. Yours is eminently more practical however :)

Glad to see this.
We do the checklist thing, and I find it helps to say stuff out loud while you're going through it.

Fortunately, our range is a "dual fuel" stove, which means the oven is electric but the stove burners are gas. Having said that, stuff being left on is still a concern irrespective of whether a burner is electric or gas.
> it should really be a personal choice

Yes, but now it is not an educated choice, most simply have no idea they're tracked. Ask any person, "do you agree to being tracked?" Answer is obvious, so why not implement it in browsers by default?
I see. You’re right that it could. It wouldn’t be as good, though, since the BFR’s total mass to orbit is greater. That’s why I’m saying you need to take BFS into account and not just look at “payload” numbers.
Well google is an ad company so you don’t need to wonder who’s in charge of their core products

Can you paraphrase what that means? It's not a Freudian slip due to hunger, I hope. Asking out of prior curiosity for the word.
I live in the US, specifically the Bay Area. Based on past experience, it’s unlikely Mixnode could pay me a salary anywhere close to what I could earn here, even after factoring in cost of living. Emigrating is also not practical, even if getting a visa wasn’t a problem.

I live in the East Bay. Here is a cost comparison between Oakland, CA and vancouy, BC: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

Oakland costs 15% more, but it’s unlikely this company is going to pay me ~85% of what I make here if I emigrated (and, even if they do, I have a significant amount of student loans as fixed costs). As a remote employee, I’d need ~100% of what I’d make around here, and that would come with significant tax headaches for them.
You don't need developers to reach out to you, just file a bug report like a normal person.

TFA says they can only go up to 15 mph.
Is there any difference between the two these days?
Right now, we have partially addressed this with security cameras that can see the stove and some locks.
Thank you for this suggestion. I truly appreciate it. I just dumped Chrome on mobile and started using Firefox. While it is a fast browser it is nothing compared to Brave. I'm completely blown away by this browser. Now I'm going to install Brave on my desktop as well.
I read somewhere (lost the source) that 5 mg is far too much, and that closer to 0.5 mg is not only sufficient, but works better.

Do you have any experience changing the size of your melatonin dose, and if so, could you share any findings?
Sometimes you better not try to find out why something is trending. For example the "Toad" incident recently.
Having been a BankSimple Beta customer, and sticking with them until they were acquired by BBVA, you’re screwed when something goes wrong until customer service fixes it. Highly recommend a bank with branches over online only. There is value in being able to go into a branch and having an in-person complaint addressed.
Americans have a longstanding love of magical thinking
Almost the plot of "The Fountain." Sadly, the tree didn't fly in space.
I seriously expect, in the near future, only people with highly specialist needs like software developers, video/audio professionals and the like to still use some kind of laptop or desktop -- everyone else will pretty much move to some kind of tablet of various sizes (including mobile "phones").
Yeah I don't really understand that statement in the article either. A computer fault can affect any company in the banking industry - irrespective of if they are "app" only.
How old were you during the moon landing? Where did you watch it?
If it's down for you, it'll be down for the branches. The point of these new banks are so that you can do anything inside the app without having to jump through endless hoops. An example, I'm using Monzo now (a new "challenger bank" in the UK). If I want an overdraft I can enable / disable that in the app. Same goes for if I want to disable my card, change the pin, order a new card. Everything's just easier. No need to spend ages on the phone going through menus and verifying who you are.
there is an alogorithmic solution - it's the one youtube uses for their trending page, which is subjectively far superior to this "objective" and "fair" listing.

I really want to like Firefox (or any of the alternative browsers mentioned here for that matter), but I frequently use my Surface in tablet mode and the only browsers with acceptable touch screen support on Windows are Edge and Chrome. Last I checked, this still didn't seem to be a priority for Firefox.
I received a call from a client complaining about no longer being able to switch between their gmail accounts (which you normally do by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner of the gmail app on desktop).

After a bit of back and forth, I asked for a screenshot. They sent me a photo of the screen and it became apparent that they were clicking on this new avatar embedded in the browser chrome rather than the gmail app avatar below it.
Why not navigation? HUD seems like the perfect use case.

Otherwise, I’d like a reading app so I don’t have to look down at my phone.

If it just mirrors the phone and the phone screen becomes a touchpad, I’d consider it.
So, you agree SS is not a safty net?

PS: Social Security is hardly fair. That cap is by far the largest benifit for billionaires from social security’s design. People in the 10% pay a vastly higher percentage of their income to support others.

A fair system would be something like X% up to a cap that you get back and y% that you don’t with everyone paying their share of the y%. But that starts to look like a safty net.

On top of that married couples get a larger benifit with a single large income vs two incomes of half that size.
I made a 4 min. youtube video on this subject and the checklist basically was

1. What did you do wrong exactly? No weasel words.
2. How do you think that made them feel?
3. Why are their feelings important to you?
4. What are you committed to doing better in the future?
5. What steps are you taking to make that come true?
6. Why is it important to you to make take those steps?

Taking real responsibility is so rare these days, that a well formed apology on it's own, stands out and is rewarded immediately. Not only will you feel great speaking about your true feelings, you'll also have a plan to a brighter future and relationship with that person mapped out, so it's easier to follow.

When you know why your friends, family and lovers are important to you, and how you should treat them, and why it's important to you to behave a certain way towards them, great behavior flows more effortlessly.
I'm not andyidsinga, but here's my 2c.

When I think of smart glasses, I imagine the best possible version of them as an exercise in thought. It starts off with them being in a form factor that's effectively indistinguishable from "normal" glasses. After that, I imagine them having the processing power to provide full AR capabilities, as well as a battery that's able to sustain that technology for at least a day if not longer.

I suppose that in turn might make you ask, "What is 'full AR'?" For the sake of this I'm going to imagine a world where there are no nefarious actors or ill-intentions. This is a fantasy world where I can just geek out over cool tech.

To me, it's the ability to recognize any and all people you interact with, at a moment's notice. Think all social media networks combined, but in realtime, as soon as you lock eyes with a person. The ability to "remember" a person you met ten years ago at that one networking event is now possible. Extrapolating this into other social spheres, you could get rid of all of the traditional dating apps that exist on your cell. If you walk into a bar or [$genericSocialSetting], you can immediately see who is single, and who isn't (assuming they have this information broadcast). Dating just got significantly easier, and maybe a bit more organic since you can tell right off the bat who is looking (and maybe even see if you have something in common).

Looking into other areas of use, imagine having Wikipedia at your finger tips, overlain in your field of vision. I'm not talking paragraphs of text here, but rather some sort of intuitive UI that cleverly displays the most significant bits of information about a given object, place, person, etc, within your field of vision. "That plant is poisonous."

Smart glasses represent taking all of the data and information that's available on the internet, and overlaying it in the real world. The "killer app" for smart glasses is several years out, and it will take many iterations before it's perfected. They're going to augment how we function, just how smart phones have augmented us. You'll be able to record, snapshot, and replay scenes from your past just like you can do with your phone, but far more effortlessly. I can imagine a world where your smart glasses are constantly recording, but only choosing to "save" given your input (since a lot of moments we wish we could have saved happen without us having our phones out.) Again this is pretending we live in world with zero nefarious actors (Black Mirror does a good job of covering some potential negatives of tech like this).

I think we're a long, long ways off from this tech. It's going to be a big culture shift in many ways, and is going to happen slowly at first. In my mind this is the sort of thing that Thalmic, Magic Leap and others are pursuing. I see companies like that as the early Ford Motor Company. These early Smart Glasses/AR companies are producing the Model T. Our smart phones are the "faster horses" in this analogy.
Do you mind sharing the name of the out-of-state bootcamp? I've been researching programs to apply to.
If this is your strategy, you're going to also need to avoid google documents and signing into youtube.. and there's also the fact that at some point you need to ask yourself if Chrome is really great enough to warrant using multiple browsers when Firefox containers take care of everything privacy related for you.
Have reported there before and have gotten no attention to any issues previously posted. In my experience bugzilla has been a black hole and reaching out via public channels is more effective at influencing change in an organization. I understand that you may think this is uncouth but letting other people know publicly why their product isn't being used is effective.
I'm the founder of FormAPI [1], and my company's mission is to help developers fill out and sign PDF documents.

It truly matters to my customers, because they're paying me money. And it truly matters to me, because if the company continues to grow, then I'll have lots of money and freedom. Honestly it's mostly about the money, but I really enjoy building things and solving problems for people.

I get your sentiment, but people can still close their eyes if they don't want to pay attention. I would imagine most people find VR more engaging, and when it comes to safety, that is an important feature.
There is. After logging in and liking dozens of videos, their algorithm will come up with some pretty decent recommendations, in my experience.

Yeah, behaviors alone can definitely work for some people, no question. But as research seems to be indicating, there are many factors aside from just behavior or hours of sleep needed. devexpy discusses some of it above. Some people’s circadian rhythms are just different, and this may be just hard wired. Some people still only need 6 hours but at a different time of day, some people need more at the same time of day.

In the modern era, there is no question that sleep hygiene is lacking for some, but it isn’t universally sleep hygiene, or universally scheduling, or universally a set amount of hours. It seems that we’re often dealing with different things for different people.

As I briefly mentioned in comment further up, the solution for me was a 9am wake up, and this seems to work consistently and easily with almost any amount of sleep. I can be just fine with 5 hours or 10. It just works. Prior to arriving at a career situation where I could set my own schedule, there were no combinations of solutions which allowed me to wake up at 6am and not be on autopilot and zombified for the first half of the day. And I tried just about every iteration and combination with diligence for years. Luckily I realized early enough in college to just never take classes before 10am or I would have almost certainly struggled.

If we can figure out ways to allow for flex schedules on positions which have no need for timing rigidity, I could easily see our collective productivity rising in measurable ways. And at the very least we won’t be needlessly forcing entire segments of the population to perform at half optimum levels for half of their days.
Yeah I don't like to change habits, I have been using chrome for as long as it has been around, but when I read that last week I made the jump to firefox. Honestly, outside of not having the option to mute sites (as opposed to muting tabs), I can barely tell the difference. Also it makes it harder than chrome to manage site specific permissions. You have to go into the settings and add some exceptions instead of just changing a setting in top left corner while on the site. But it's otherwise a smooth transition.
all good advice. however, depending on your setup there are often commands you need to use over and over again with sudo, for example, wifi-menu, starting openvpn, staring cups, as I use a very minimal setup with very little that happens automatically. This scripts is for these.
Maybe switch to Firefox and use their accounts toggle feature. It lets you separate out sessions for particular sites. It’s not “chromium” but it works well for what you are asking for as far as I can tell.
You have the causality backwards.

Homelessness doesn't cause depression, which is a biological illness. Depression, uncontrollable anxiety, addiction, etc. are the root cause of the vast, vast majority of homelessness.

Orchestrated objective reduction
I try leaving Chrome every now and then but every time it turns out Firefox is just too slow to tolerate and this was the initial reason why I've moved to Chrome some years ago (yes, my PC is old and I make heavy use of extensions).
Toffler and other "futurists" have always struck me as complete and utter charlatans. His predictions or whatever you want to call them always seem to fall into one of two categories: Things that are already happening or things that have maybe a 50/50 chance of happening. As Filip Buekens wrote in "The Dark Side of the Loon: Explaining the Temptations of Obscurantism" (https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/55704402.pdf), "[The] promise of a deep insight into intriguing subject matters is often sufficient to lure the audience into a futile quest for understanding."
Firefox's developer tools are quite powerful, I'd recommend trying them for a bit and getting used to working with them.

If you ultimately do want to keep using chrome for the dev tools, you can switch your primary browser to ff and use Chromium (without signing in at all) just for that purpose. There's no reason you have to use your primary browser for your web development work.

C7 preset seat memory function issues? SOLVED – Vetteblog.com
According to Donald Knuth, "This algorithm goes back to Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in 14th-century India; it also appeared in C. F. Hindenburg's preface to _Specimen Analyticum de Lineis Curvis Secundi Ordinis_ by C. F. Rudiger (Leipzig: 1784), xlvi--xlvii, and it has been frequently rediscovered ever since". (Volume 4A, Section 7.2.1.2, Algorithm L)
Container tabs just makes up for lack of easy profile switching (at least on macOS, not sure about Windows or Linux), which was in Chrome for years. Even after it came, I gave it a try and found it pretty cumbersome.

(Before I get you-can-do-this-and-that replies, I know Profile Manager exists, and that's an ugly hack: macOS users should not need to run multiple copies of the same app bundle.)
That would not seem computationally efficient if for every class (i.e. object) you were to create a 3D modeling and paste it into a training set
My guess is that the complexity of integrating sensor information and maintaining calibration isn't refined to the tolerances needed. In theory, you only need to detect physical resistance and visual variations (not like the assembly line workers are licking the bolts). In practice, you can have a series of bolts within tolerance limits, but causing a warp an attached piece that lies outside the preceding sensors' detection ranges. A human might step back and see that the door is bending weirdly, the door bend might not be noticed for several stations, causing more disruption.

That being said, car parts in general seems so unnecessarily complex. Too many curves, too little compartmentalization and modularity, etc. At this point in history, I would expect the average person to be capable of practically disassembling most cosmetic pieces in under an hour and with little research, but it's an obnoxious process of hunting down hidden screws and plastic clips in precise sequences. If cars were built in a reasonable manner, it should have been trivial to repurpose most of the parts in these vehicles.
