I don't understand your point. The UK contains the largest proportion of STEM workers in Europe, equalled only by Germany, and the UK contains some of the best unis in the world.
I've successfully transitioned away from all google products with the exception of Android. It seemed impossible at first but all it took was a rpi3, dd-wrt router, free ddns from freedns.afraid.org, letsencrypt cert and nextcloud.
Remember Wackersdorf? They only won because of Tchernobyl. Pure luck.

But keep thinking of Hainburg or Zwentendorf, where people won because of their persistence and great support by the press.
Coincidentally I had found out this one today and compiled it myself after a frustrating experience with `brew install chromium` (videos wouldn't play; inputs would blink).

I guess this has more flags set up by default, and it makes it easier to target a stable commit to compile against.

Also as a word of caution, don't use ungoogled-chromium binaries - they never are fully official/confirmed/reproducible. Running opaque blobs from strangers defeats the purpose of leaving Chrome for increasing privacy.

Just bite the bullet and run the 2h compilation process yourself.
It started at Stanford University and got its early funding from various tech people. Where did you hear otherwise?
Thanks. I didn’t realize Blender did bode graphs—I’ll have to check that out.

I’ve been using ImageMagick but the CLI invocations are pretty awkward. Maybe I’m just looking for a DSL on top of ImageMagick

Is Linda Lovelace famous for having poor computer literacy? I know her for something else.
The idea there is that gcc provides various intrinsic pseudo-functions and features that you can write kernel in "whatever gcc accepts as GNU C" dialect. Last time I looked the only linux platform that had significant assembler objects in kernel was IA-64. And this approach is very common in Unix world, with memory-mapped HW registers represented by C structs and so on (and in fact ability to do this is often cited as reason for various C++ mis-features)

[Edit: I am almost sure that the only part of Linux on i386 and amd64 that is written in assembly is the bootloader stub at the beginning of "Linux kernel image" file format. And it is somewhat funny and relevant that this part depends on abusing gas to generate 16bit code]
Awesome. Keep up the good work!
In what sense is promoting an idea that leads to worse health outcomes and higher mortality not dangerous?
Very true. UK, U of L, and many other schools in the state produce solid devs. And you're right a lot of the better grads leave for better jobs. But I wouldn't agree that there are no "good" jobs here. The salary is lower, but you probably come out ahead in CoL terms. There have been some startups doing well recently in Lexington and from what I understand Louisville is only doing better. The place I work, Badger Technologies, is doing some pretty awesome things and has some open positions.

This article in the Herald Leader explains and give some numbers to what you're saying https://www.kentucky.com/news/business/article181564581.html Supposedly some of the reason the group was pushed by some larger employers in the area that were hearing potential employees were turning down offers because if the job didn't turn out well in the long run there weren't many alternatives.

Chromium updates are blobs and tend to have close ties with Google.
The controversy around privacy revolves around whether or not business you conduct with someone else should be considered YOURS.

Companies don't want to maintain data that they don't have the capacity to unilaterally monetize, so they will fight tooth and nail to make sure the and rhetoric revolves around their right to collect data rather than the consumer's right to have the privacy of their transacted business maintained.

Privacy is a very heavy word in American political rhetoric, because something becoming reasonably considered private suddenly obligated businesses to enact rather expensive data management regimes, and opens the door to a voter's nest of legal liability, and regulatory oversight. See HIPAA for a good example. You have to provide consent for information sharing, and the organization is responsible for maintaining an audit trail. There are also stiff penalties attached for failure to keep the information secure and protected.

Needless to say, the advertising industry would likely implode overnight if something of the sort were to be enacted.

Sites would have to eitherturn to alternative revenue generating models, or attempt to hold their user's ransom for consent to share with whom they wish.
I was not expecting the truth to be SO much worse than the algorithmically provided view.

I'm sold on algorithmic timelines now. That Youtube is awful. People are awful. Fortnite Battle Royale is awful. I don't want to see any of those.

Has anyone else been getting a lot of Chrome ads lately from Instagram, Facebook and Twitter? It's gotten to be a bit much.
There's no difference.

When you exit a function, you must clean up local stack allocations. It doesn't matter if you exit with a return or a jump. It doesn't matter where you jump. If you leave the stack with temporary allocations in place, they'll leak space.

(A compiler pipeline may, at some point, observe that releasing stack space, jumping, then claiming the same amount of stack space could be optimised to just a jump, but it may equally observe that releasing, jumping, and claiming a different amount could be optimised to either releasing or claiming the difference, then jumping, too - there's still no difference between recursive, co-recursive, and non-recursive tail calls.)
Biggest issue is not the production, but the lines. For political reasons the big north-south power lines are not being built. Everyone is afraid of the grid.

I don't understand how they can say this shows an evolutionary link between human and octopuses at the neuronal level and not something that evolved independently in both genetic lines. How did they eliminate the possibility of convergent evolution? It doesn't seem reasonable they exclude convergence as a possibility.
I've been using Monzo for a few years now and also have some friends there.

I have to say the app is just amazing, none of the traditional banks even come close to what Monzo provide. There is nothing overly complex to it - but it just works. Shows you things you would expect a bank to be able to show you, for example the name of the shop where you made a purchase and it's location. Rather than some random name of a parent company.

Sending money to friends has also become so easy now, I make Monzo to Monzo payments on a weekly basis it just works.

I've heard they're great to work for too. Would be interested in working there myself one day.

It’s been pretty good for me since Quantum. There is still a known issue with scaled monitor resolutions (which I do use), but it looks like fixes are in the pipeline.
What version?
Consciousness is only unfalsifiable if you define in such a way that there is an undetectable and magical component to it, which is an unjustified and unfalsifiable assumption. Otherwise the most you could say is that it can sometimes be hard to detect, and that our understanding of how it works is very limited. We know it can be altered by physical changes in the brain. Hard solipsism aside (you're not really going to go there, are you?), we have plenty of evidence that consciousness exists.

So since we agree that the unfalsifiability of an idea does not make it rational to believe in it, then it should also be clear that the statement "you can't prove it is false" is not an argument in favor of your idea.

(merging threads on your request)

Can you prove that? Can you falsify it?

I made an argument for it. I used the example of tools that we make for specific purposes. Do you not agree that those purposes are not an intrinsic property of the tools? If you don't agree with that, I'm interested in knowing where you believe the example fails.
That's a seriously reactionary film! Just one example: footage of a feminist rally followed by violent rioting.

I’m sorry to hear about your experiences. As his friend early on, do you think anything ‘triggered’ the disease? Trying drugs, abuse, trauma, anything? Or is it just something that sort of slowly grew and evolved?
Your comment is aggressively presumptive (and wrongly so) so I'm not inclined to respond directly. You can browse my last few comments if you're genuinely interested.
What a terrible disease.
Verbal checklists are extremely effective. It's why flying is incredibly safe, and they're also used in some operating theatres (see the Checklist Manifest).

Works even better with two people as you're forced to cross-check every item.

It's important to keep it a sane length and at a suitably high level, otherwise users have a tendency to skip items that are "obvious".
Ah, the "and I turned out okay" argument. This argument also works for not wearing seatbelts and for using lead acetate as a sweetener for wine.

Humans are very resilient and will often have acceptable outcomes even when some aspects of their lifestyle are sub-optimal.
I don't know what the exact cause is, but I got the impression the reason 50 were admitted was that there was a limit to the scale of the program, not that everyone else was unqualified. The article mentioned they are admitting 90 the next year and were continuing to expand.

You could always switch to Firefox and use something like fastmail or protonmail. Did that a year ago, and actually it works better on mobile imo
Not knowing C/C++ and Java is ridiculous. Working with either of those for a few semester gives them the ability to teach themselves Python or Rust or whatever. Java is C#/OOP (many jobs want this), and C is the underlying basis for Python and similar to Rust/Go.

Make an elective course where they do 2 weeks of Rust, Go, Python, Haskell, etc and learn about languages and compilers.
You have to use Firefox Developer Edition and change 'xpinstall.signatures.required' to True in about:config
Thanks for the clarifications & apologies if I misunderstood some parts earlier. Will definitely check out your project more closely...

From a quick glance at the docs, though it seems to me there're a lot of other differences in approach (apart from the syntactic differences), especially WRT state. I will have to study these further before being able to comment properly...

Just one more note about XML vs. JS syntax to describe elements. As I said earlier, am sure there's ton of people who prefer the familiar way, but objectively, do you really find hdom's approach less readable? Honest question!

// lit-html
list = html`<ul>${items.map((i) => html`<li>${i}</li>`)}</ul>`

// hdom
list = ["ul", items.map((i) => ["li", i])]
The one major thing that keeps me from Safari is keyword searching. It's a major part of my browsing workflow and makes me so much more productive. Last I knew, you could assign hotkeys to bookmarks, but I don't think you could assign keywords and you couldn't use %s as a placeholder.
Yea, this whole study was possible because octopuses don't really like being that close to others. It seems cruel to trap a sober one in a cage with one they got high on drugs who is trying to get all up in the sober one's business.
Just because a decision doesn't completely destroy the life of everyone affected does not make it a good decision.
Very slight digression. I can't stop thinking that modern 'college' oriented societies forgot to take biology into account.

IMO teenage perception of the world, which triggers the frenzy need to act, create, be seen; this is how I interpret pseudonyms and graffiti for instance.

A century ago, the average independance was ~16, similarly some religion have rites of passage in mid teens to signal a change of status. I think they did notice there was a need for teens to change lifestyle.
The Mozilla container plugin is really good. Just set all google domains to automatically open in their own container. Takes 30 seconds to install and 30 seconds to set that configuration.
I'm using N26 right now, and this is obviously the future. It's just so smooth.

On Android, and desktop for that matter, Brave is a nice chrome fork with all the anti-privacy garbage stripped and a built in ad blocker.
> If there are no new physics then there is no faster-than-light travel and escaping earth will be pretty much impossible.

Interstellar travel and colonization does not necessarily need superluminal travel; it could be done with sub-lightspeed spacecraft capable of hosting multiple generations of humans for many decades, possibly centuries.

However getting Earth's nations to cooperate on such a long-term undertaking may be no less difficult than achieving FTL travel.
> Is enough code open sourced to make it possible for an organization such as Apache, GNU, or whatever, to create a sanitized fork of each new version of Chrome?

Yes: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine

> Qt WebEngine uses code from the Chromium project. However, it is not containing all of Chrome/Chromium: Binary files are stripped out. Auxiliary services that talk to Google platforms are stripped out. The codebase is modularized to allow use of system libraries like OpenSSL. We do update to the latest Chromium version in use before a Qt release.

Here's a browser: https://www.qutebrowser.org/ I haven't tried it yet.

[edit]

oh, it's already in the apt repos on debian testing :)
Sorry to sound naive, but is there a good reason (or a few) not to use Safari?
Haven't tried it yet but the guide suggests you can run shortcuts on a recurring schedule.

> You can use Siri to add shortcuts to the Reminders app, specifying shortcuts to be shown at a particular time or location. For example, you can schedule a reminder to run the Log Weight shortcut each morning, or to display the Home ETA shortcut when you depart from work.

What about the part where I wrote

> Yes, I want Firefox stable. I don't want to run a buggy browser.

? Is the developer edition running the same code as stable?
Co-founder of Banter, https://banter.fm. We make podcasts easier to share and have conversations around.

We've basically built a BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Content) social network. Publishers host an RSS feed and remain in full control of their content. We don't try to assert copyright or anything over it. We don't even host it. We just enable conversations and sharing of that content (we even generate videos for sharing on other platforms that don't support audio well: https://twitter.com/stevekrenzel/status/1040746982615076864)

Some of the best content being produced today is in podcasts. Everything from comedy to news reporting. They're a great way to help people stay informed, learn new things, or just get a laugh. So if that counts as "truly mattering", then that's why it truly matters.
This is the culture of monopoly. The same can be said of that other monopoly, government.
There is a significant (maybe 0.4-0.5 seconds?) lag between the cursor hovering over something and it's hover action (highlight, whatever) taking place.

I have been using N26 as my daily driver for the last year, and I really don't want to look back at any bank that is using branches. However, I feel N26, Revolut, Monzo, Tomorrow, and all of the others are driving customers away with very expensive "premium" plans.

I recently opened an account with DKB, another German direct bank, but with a shitty app. They offer everything I paid N26 5,90€ month to month (which they raised to 9,90€, can you imagine that) and much more like overnight money and a stock depot, for the tradeoff of having a shitter app, which is basically a webview loading their webpage.

The next thing Europe needs is a Robinhood-like app for fee-free trading.

In Wackersdorf also 3 people died at the fence. Ten thousands of people protested. But in the end it was pure luck to win against the energy companies - Tchernobyl.

There's not enough support from the press against the dirty power lobby. It should make easy headlines for them. Dirty and deadly coal power needs to be phased out anyway according to the worlds climate goals. The dirty industries are still ruling the country, and not the middle class and civil society. It didn't went well in the thirties.
You're spot on. I'm in strategy and we monitor the challenger banks regularly. Very little money is earned from things like current accounts, which is what all these app-only banks. Money is to be made in loans, mortgages and credit cards. Despite all the great hype, they are still a tiny proportion of the number of customers that mainstream banks have.

Great app, great user experience but would be interesting to see how profitable these challenger banks are.

Khronos Meetup Oslo: Lisping on the GPU (2017)
What if there were driving statistics that imply people of a particular skin colour or gender participate in car crashes more often? Would it justify discriminating against them and limiting their rights? Should every particular member of this group be made responsible for the mistakes of the others this way?
Yeah, that's a huge issue. The ability for the local talent to share their expertise with each other is important too. I agree, but there are solutions to the problem. More meetups and groups have been started in the area, Lexington, and some more rural areas too.
Interesting criticism. Perhaps more context would help.

They were rude about it. And it was appropriate to criticise the child and the parent. The parent was criticised as that child also did it to others up to that point. Other behaviours like bullying were also creeping in. They hadn't properly addressed it until I actually refused the fake apology. The child had behavioural issues that have now been positively improved through their deliberate effort in subsequent months. Evidence of this is has been seen by teachers at his school apparently. Definitely in his behaviour I've seen as well as his sister.

And he's on the school basketball team now. What a terrible present! Children dislike things for non obvious reasons. Just like adults.

The anecdote shows how an apology has impact. Perhaps you can't handle someone holding a boundary line on acceptable behaviour and this hit a raw nerve for you? I don't know.

The coal was a reference to Christmas, not a grudge.
Google today is like the Microsoft of 10-15 years ago. Grossly dominant, arrogant, user-hostile, and thinking they're above the law. Microsoft got knocked off their perch and are a much better company today than they were 15 years ago. Google's turn to fall is rapidly approaching.
It's my daily browser of choice, FWIW, but is no good for development. The React dev tool plugin, for instance, is only available on Chrome & Firefox.

I'm trying to switch to Firefox but it certainly doesn't feel as snappy as Chrome when doing dev work. I do like some of the tools though. Still undecided.
Money is the root of all evil. That's why they got rid of the mantra, as it meant 'Do no money'... And they need to please share holders.

I got rid of chrome when I noticed it hoggged my memory and CPU, and decided to try Firefox. Firefox is much more processor friendly for me at least.
Vivaldi still has Google features like search and safebrowsing which report everything you type into the URL bar and every site you visit to Google by default. Simply "not packaged by Google" doesn't guarantee non-Google.

At Infinite Food[0] we are automating the production and retail of personalized meals through robotic service locations supported by modern logistics and electronic supply-chain.

We believe this field of innovation matters because by 2050 the world population will be 9.7 billion[1] increasingly living in high density urban environments after loss of agricultural land and clean fresh water, potentially less reliable yields due to climate change, increasing concerns about pollution, and reduced biodiversity. Therefore, we urgently need the ability to feed more humans more reliably using less resources.
