Not directly related, but I reckon the mentality of some web developers I've complained to about their "appsites" being sluggish is similar here --- "it works perfectly fine for me, how about you upgrade your hardware?"

I've heard that you can use http://mail.google.com/mail/h/ to get a basic HTML version.
This is actually a terribly misleading pop-Sci writeup. Any chance mods can change the link to the actual study?

There will always be a case where you can't solve the diamond dependency problem.
Yes, I have reported it to them and never heard back.
I seem to have a troll or two following me around downvoting me, likewise people who lack a critical mind and compassion will impulse downvote things that seem kookie to them - simply because it's outside their realm of experiences.

The reason I asked about wheat is that it acts like an opiate for some people, and so if you consumed it most of your life and then stopped - I theorize, in part, that your sensitivity level and nervous system set its baseline having developed with that numbing aspect of the opiate - and now without that numbing your nervous system is hypersensitive.

So you did or didn't have any ear infections? :P

Re: Missing band - you could be hypo-sensitive at a specific frequency or range. You can do an audiogram to check for hearing imbalances, checking how LOW of a Dbs you hear at different frequencies in each ear; at different/certain frequencies of imbalance you can predict with 100% accuracy a set of behaviours that person may have - there's a book on Amazon called "Hearing Equals Behaviour: Updated and Expanded" if interested in reading more about it; there's a sound therapy to help the brain unlock the sensory imbalances, letting/helping/allowing it find equilibrium again.

Not thinking the sensitivity is a problem in itself, the lack of awareness and disconnect that many people seem to have is an issue; and some of us who seem to be more sensitive, perhaps from a natural fragility or due to whatever environmental or developmental circumstances, are more impacted by EMFs.
>If you could show some examples of single method interfaces whose naming makes sense, I'd be delighted!

IDisposable with a single Dispose() method?
One setting I found that has made the new interface slightly more bearable is turning off "Hover actions" under the General tab. It gets rid of that awful box-shadow that makes scanning down the list difficult.
Wills are generally executed long after the body is dealt with. Probate can take years and a body needs to be handled almost immediately.

If you can handle the morbidity of it, you can arrange for your own burial or cremation and even pay ahead of time; there are usually big discounts, since they can't shake you down the same way they can shake down a grieving widow or whatnot.
Some thoughts on gender and science/technology magazines
Yeah there aren’t any affiliate links yet. There will be. I used to build sites like this - the trick is to provide value for free upfront and gain and audience, then replace all the links with affiliate links when the traffic ramps.

Needless to say I quit because my “reviews” were bs and I never used any of the products I wrote reviews for...so I have a tough time these days trusting any site like this.
I get pretty frustrated with it. I work almost exclusively with shortcuts, and after a while the interface decides to forget to respond to my commands.

Example - /,"is:unread to:me",Enter. Should search for unread mails to me.

On a regular basis if I move through five items rapidly and head into this search, it just shows a blank screen inside the area where the mails should be. Even hitting f5 won't resolve the issue at times. Ive actually stopped browsing through mails on some other threads because of this issue because it would take up too much time to keep debugging Gmail.
It's incredibly slow and to top it all the new redesign is maddeningly bad. I have to zoom out to 90%-80% just to make it bearable.
There is clearly no separation between various sections in the fifty shades of grey that's become their MO. This should never have passed the first line of review let alone be in production.
With all their new decisions with the Pixel 3, Chrome and now Gmail, it's clear Google's list its edge.

The US lacks a true mental healthcare system, and not even a healthcare system available to the poor. Not a surprise that cities just move the problem around, what can they do? It's a national problem with zero national coordination or resources.
That’s totally false though. Only if the majority of your peers colludes, then you don’t make progress, but then you just change your peers and make progress.
Old version is available in the gear if you're using corporate gmail
I second this. Ive used both the cloud version and self hosted it. The default design is lovely, its lightning quick too.

For the self hosted version I use heroku (7$ / month) and this[1] library, remember to hook it up to an AWS bucket though else you'll loose your pics each time the server restarts.

Buy the book "Hearing Equals Behaviour: Updated and Expanded" (is on Amazon) if you want to learn more about sound and hearing, and things like hypo-sensitivity. Physical damage is certainly a possibility, however your statement of "that's normal hearing loss" is ill informed/ignorant and/or arrogant; that fits with your other responses in this thread, so it's not surprising.
This exactly. On Firefox Nightly, time to first interaction for me is 30 seconds.

I've found myself going to gmail.com, searching for something, and then waiting 30 seconds for "Loading..."to transform to "Something's not right". I've just started doing all reading on the Android app.

It's still easier for me to write at my laptop than on my phone, so this miserable experience happens to me multiple times a week. I've started to deeply despise the webapp.
There's no affiliate links on the website.
I have mostly stopped using Google Gmail because they still can't do something simple like... I don't know... sort by sender? They keep changing the interface, but they never seem to improve the utility.
Just popping in to say that I've never had an invoice less than $800 from any firm I've ever hired, and those were very small things. Data privacy-related stuff tends to be way more complicated, and if my company didn't have me, basic data privacy stuff would cost them tens of thousands a year just in legal.
How is it dangerous?
I have a related question but from a different situation. In throes my job hunting, I described my job search and overall work experience, and someone pared down to conclusion to, I am fetishizing having a job too much.

If I am truly doing this, can that still be rationalized even when I am very underemployed?

While I won't bog you down on the details, I have a really patchy work history created by frequent layoffs. This created a lot of unemployment time, taking up about a quarter of my post-academic life. On top of that, I am very underpaid for a developer (~40% of the local average pay) so I often struggle making ends meet when I'm out of a job.

I feel pressured from many sides thinking of many possible solutions to choose.
It's not. Search the same product on Google and the URL will be the same.
> "reimagining"? Why the obfuscatory marketingspeak?

Probably because of significantly different functionality. ProcDump is cool because it lets you use system performance counters to trigger a dump precisely when a program is misbehaving, including when an exception occurs. The Linux version only appears to support a few options: CPU thresholds and memory commits.

> the ProcDump I know of was written by a few crackers 2 decades ago

That's always been ProcDump32 to me. IIRC, SysInternals' ProcDump isn't as old, but it's good for debugging transient issues with executing programs.
If your threat model includes "I don't trust Apple", then all discussion is moot. You could provide all the hardware killswitches you want. Apple could still design a way around them to get your data while the laptop is active.

Now, if you trust Apple, the T2 chip is perfectly secure for this use case. Apple claims this serves as a hardware disconnect baked into the silicon, in which case it is no different from a mechanical switch.

Finally, the whole argument about user control over various security features is interesting. I will say that Apple has, better than any other manufacturer, struck almost perfectly the balance between security and usability. Apple's software/hardware security does its job, does it well, and gets out of your way. Including 20 different hardware switches and 150 different security settings that mean nothing to the average user would not be in their design language.

It's all about your threat model. Perhaps yours is a bit too severe to use traditional consumer devices.
You see that a lot with 2e people -- bright people with some weaknesses or a disability. That could account for how negatively you have experienced this. Many 2e people have never really been taught good ways to handle the combination of big strengths and big weaknesses.

I serve as a sounding board a lot for my oldest son and that works well, but it's not uncommon for such people to just be trying to meet their own need to process information and/or feed their ego, oblivious to how it impacts other people and not really welcoming of the feedback they really need for this to be constructive. A good sounding board doesn't just listen, they ask pertinent questions and make insightful comments that help move the thought process along.

Sometimes when I meet people like that, I'm able to direct the conversation to a more constructive back and forth of that sort. But some people just know they have this need to talk, they have a lot of baggage that makes them openly hostile to meaningful feedback and they crave validation. Anything other than praising their half-baked ideas is met with toxic reactions. In such cases, the best you may be able to do is basically make a few polite noises and then disengage as quickly as possible.
What's wrong with Paint 3D?

"Get Office" is nothing but an advert, and an annoying one at that considering it continues to appear after MS Office is installed. Paint 3D on the other hand is a supplemental tool to regular Paint that is actually extremely powerful once you get used to it.

I myself actually started out ignoring it, and it hasn't replaced regular Paint for many things, but I find myself going into it on purpose now and for the things it is good at it is VERY good.

People have dismissed it out of hand because of the "3D." The 3D actually refers to Photoshop style layering but you can manipulate the Z axis to generate different 2D image views, which can be output.

The main output of Paint 3D is the same as Paint 2D image files e.g. PNGs, BMPs, and JPG. Sure, you can save a project file, but that is just your source images and Z axis layering information (akin to a Photoshop's PSD).

PS - It also supports PNG transparency layers which is a welcome addition.

Do you think that there is something qualitatively different between electromagnetic fields based on whether the source is produced by humans? Of course they can be directly compared, the field doesn't give a shit what made it.
I wrote this four years ago and I think it still rings true:

We're in a double-bind in that the only thing that we can use as a stick to beat defectors over the head with is the same stick that defectors are beaten over the head for having in the first place.

The sad state that I think many longterm observers have arrived at by this point is that the red line in the sand beyond which global biocide could have been prevented came and went, silently unnoticed under the ever-increasing weight of modern existence. That moment could've passed sixty years ago; it could've passed sixty minutes ago. I see no way that we'll ever know for certain and I don't know if it really matters in the end anyway. Life has the bug/feature that makes near-as-to-be-limitless energy toxic to the longevity of our ecology. This is simply a more complex reindeer-on-St.-Matthews-Island situation.[1]

It's probably time to don sackcloth and ashes and pray in something other than humanism: be it God, the innate benevolence of universal laws, the development of sentient machines, the transmigration of consciousness, or some other improbably-probable deus ex machina that allows continuity of sentient existence from this planet to somewhere more enduring.

Because if the last hundred years have suggested anything, it's that any attempt by Human Authority to voluntarily and mercifully achieve Justice will be, and has been, sabotaged by the ruination of Moloch.[2]

I find the lack of language level locking a benefit in Swift, using GCD is really easy now that the syntax is much more polished. I have yet to run into a race condition. When I worked (years ago) on a 3D game engine in C++ we actually removed most of the multi-threading because it was too hard to reason what it was doing and avoid threading errors and race conditions.
I get drastically different performance using Google's services between Firefox and Chrome.

I had instant responses in Chrome for Gmail, Chat/Hangouts, Calendar, etc.

In Firefox? 4-6 second wait for _every_ interaction.

And I don't think the fault is with Firefox here...
Yes this is internal stuff. I work at a large industrial manufacturing plant.

Reports that go externally are done by certified people. (Laboratory technicians for product specifications and finance analysts for stock market stuff).
I think that a technical blog post with more details and a few images will get much more traction here. How much of this was implemented by you? Did you make the model of the faces? How difficult is to add a new face? The realistic lighting sound interesting, any details?

Bonus points if you give some screenshot of the early versions that went wrong and have funny results.
GPS is a system for determining your position in the world, usually in latitude and longitude.

Navigation is pathfinding in the real world + directions. GPS is useful (But far from the only) system for determining where you are. Navigation is often implemented as a route from point A (in lat, lng) to point B (in lat, lng) and then running an algorithm (such as dijkstra, or A*, but usually something far more advanced) from A to B. The algorithm runs on a routing graph of some kind, produced from processing real world map data.

Not sure what the author was referring to but, Airflow has gotten better / gained wider adoption during that time and my team started using DBT which saved a bunch time and was new during that period.
Sure, but that's not the point. What the piece actually presents is a (quite interesting) illustration of how the far-right online community kicked off a specific talking point and spread it widely within just a few days.

Salon is crap, borders on fake news if you believe in that term.

I really wish there was a way to read articles without giving click (Then give one if it was even marginally good, which here, as usual, it's awful)

There is nothing in this article of note.

Here's a hint, CIA agents are just journalists that don't report in the open.

They are often pretty stupid to average, but merely knowing the local language and reading newspapers is enough to have high value. This is what they do..... It's pretty boring stuff.

Knowing who's CIA in a embassy and who's not is pretty useless info. Obviously everyone is a security risk.

What the Russians did that rocked was fool the US into thinking they had more info than they did. Low level terrorism.

The alleged killings in OP will only be locals, and locals passing on info that any local bilingual person could. Spy sounds fancy, but in RL it's not. (I guess it can get you killed, which is kinda fancy, but it'd be a pretty boring killing 99.99% they drive to your house and arrest you like a common criminal)
Maybe not more toxic, but more of a biohazard due to human-specific viruses and bacteria.
Hikers disappear all the time and it's rare for bodies to be found when no one is specifically looking for them. In the wilderness, unless it's somewhere like on Mount Everest where bodies are naturally preserved by freezing, corpses tend to disappear pretty quickly. Predators are not 100% effective, but scavengers are pretty close, especially because there's so damned many of them ranging from insects to worms to birds and mammals.
In former times, what we consider the trades were also romanticized. The masons and all that. I expect software to follow the same path and at an accelerated rate but that still gives us a while before we‘re fully normalized.

You know what excretes far more E. Coli than a dead body? A living body. That bacterium is basically everywhere where there are animals, infections are pretty common.

Plus, if you have any of those artificial things that the article mentions, that will still have to be disposed of otherwise, lest the bird eat it.

> Then the bones are crushed into a powder and mixed with something called tsampa for the crows and other birds to eat afterwards.

Sounds like yet another great way to catch an E. Coli infection: Grinding down bone contaminated with bird poop.
There's a huge difference between writing ETL to apply business logic vs. grab the data from a common API like Google Analytics. There's no tool in the world that can write all the logic you need to transform data the way your organization uses it unless you have an extremely simple, common use case.

What this article is really saying is that replicating your data from source apps shouldn't be manually coded. The harder part still needs someone to write code so business users don't need to.
5 Best EXIF Viewer on Mac/ Windows/ iPhone/ Android/ Google
Being greedy for money is when you cheat, lie, scam, steal, or abuse others in the name of money. That doesn't sound like that's what you're doing. You are not doing anything wrong. You are trading your time and energy for your hard earned cash. Also, working harder for more money can come at a cost to your health and time, so tread carefully. Money doesn't solve your problems or bring you happiness , and it is a false measurement of wealth and success. However, having it can give you the potential to live a good live by giving you options.

Discover your true purpose in life by finding a way to contribute to society, whether through your own business or helping someone else realize their mission. Money is just a way of measuring how much you're contributing something of value to someone else.

Instead of concentrating on money, start asking yourself how to create something meaningful that will benefit the world, not how to earn more. You can feel good about having a positive impact on society, and the money will naturally come fair and square faster than you can track it. You will also enjoy every minute of it and it will become play instead of overexertion. What's most important, though, is that you learn the skills to always be able to make money no matter your circumstance. Be the absolute best in your field and you will be set for life.

The opportunities will always be there today, tomorrow, and in the next century. There are millions of undiscovered ideas that will make you rich. The more time you spend worrying, the less time you'll spend thinking about your next idea. Also, be willing to stay flexible in your plans in case big promising opportunities come along that you are not expecting.

Avoid comparing yourself to others, no matter what it is about. (Money, possessions, relationships, businesses, etc.) It will always result in you suffering and wanting more. Focus on your path and what's in front of you. Count your blessings before bed each day.

Study Buddhism and meditate to help overcome your insecurity. I particularly recommend lectures by Alan Watts on youtube. Life is a delicate balance and you may be spending too much time on work without rest. Work must be balanced with personal growth, family, community/friends, and entertainment. The more you focus only on your career, the more time it will take to bring balance back into your life.
That is truly impressive
The “quote” from someone is along the lines of “The most valuable person to society is a young woman. The least valuable person to society is a young man.” As a man, I experienced that quite acutely. Still do though now I “have more to offer” and I sometimes feel like I’m being valued more than I was in the past. It’s hard to tell through the years of abuse and bullying.

We live in a dysfunctionally sick culture.
