>People grow attached to this persona, sometimes obsessively. I think it could create of a scary pattern of disassociation, has it already?

I know Jenna and Julien have had people show up to their previous address, it seemed like mostly parents driving/flying their kids across the country to show up at their rental house to meet them...

I follow some vloggers that I find entertaining as well as have listened to podcasts for a decade now. I will readily admit I have more of a perceived familiarity with a lot of these people than I do with people I know in the real world for example:

- Adam Carolla and crew, 5 days a week times many years. I know about Adam's kids, his nanny, his wife, his business endeavors, his high school antics, his childhood, falling out with his friends, his genital warts test...

- A guy in Germany named Pierre who does a couple of few vlogs a week on his YouTube that I've supported via patreon and am Facebook friends with now

- Jenna and Julien, I've basically been watching both of their channels the entirety of their relationship

- The hosts of Geek Radio Daily, which I'm friends with on facebook. I've been listening to them a decade, I've been writing and calling in to the podcast the entirety of that time, I occasionally shoot memes to Flynn and we've been playing Words With Friends for several years, yet he and his wife know virtually nothing about me and I feel like they are old very good friends as I've been listening to them sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, for a decade.

- Mike Luoma, I discovered him on podibooks a decade or so ago. Listened to him narrate his stories. Found his podcast. Listened to it. Hired him to do an intro to my podcast that lasted a few episodes. Been friends on Facebook for years, have introduced him to other podcasters, will be on his 500th episode in a couple of weeks, I feel like I know so much about Mike yet I bet he knows virtually nothing about me.

It's certainly an interesting world we are building. Celebrity worship has been a thing as long as there have been celebrities but never before have we had such levels of exposure to given individuals. Such access to their lives through their video or audio, through their social media, through their patron-only content.

I find it fascinating and addictive but I absolutely recognize there is real danger in a society that is moving towards this sort of exchange, especially for individuals that do turn to obsessive behavior and even idol-worship.

G Suite from Google is still Gmail, but with a better terms of use and usage of your own domain and thus no lock-in. For people that like Gmail it’s a much better alternative.

My point was that people aren’t willing to vote with their wallet, but being a loud mouth doesn’t cost anything.

And that’s how we end up with monopolies.

On the topic at hand I still remember the people crying against Firefox’s Pocket integration. Well, as Chrome crushes its competition, while becoming more invasive everyday, I hope they are happy with the outcome.
Does mobile Firefox come with Ublock Origin built-in?
Shame they aren't updating anything older than 1.10. 1.09 was released just a year ago.

The commercial K8S vendors seem to be doing the patch all the way back. Smart move by them to signal to the enterprise the value of using a commercially supported K8S distribution over something like kops or kubeadm.

> ...which immediately tells you to go fix the code.

Assuming your code isn't deeply nested. I've seen cases where null was triggered years after code went into production.
In that case you have to:

A) Assume value isn't null and have more readable code

B) Litter the code with null checks.

e.g.

if (a.getStuff().getValue() == "TEST")

becomes

if (a != null && a.getStuff() != null && a.getStuff().getValue() == "TEST)

Thing with Maybe/Optional you have to check for presence of None, otherwise your code won't compile. Another smart way is what C# did. Integer can't be null. Integer? can be null.
This is correct. Chrome handles updates via a completely separate .exe that runs via the Windows Task Scheduler.

I know this because my company pushed out a Group Policy update a while back that removed the ability of users to add/remove scheduled tasks and it broke Chrome updates across the company.

Also, this problem (not being able to patch a running app) is unique to Windows because of its terrible file locking implementation (that are the result of a bad decision made decades ago!). In Linux you'll get Chrome, Chromium, and Firefox updates along with everything else and it won't disrupt your use in the slightest. You can restart the app to apply those updates at your leisure!

I'm going to guess your problem is not CPU related, but rather a hardware issue relating to other hardware that Firefox uses (GPU, audio, …) Firefox spends most of its time idling in event loops; it's not a batch job like a compiler.
I run a professional services business in Shanghai China, think English resumes, LinkedIn Profile editing, interview coaching for global job seekers. Most service providers balk at the career counseling part because they can't charge an appropriate amount for their time. On the other hand, most job seekers don't want to pay for review as once they get professional comments back, they have to revise and don't know how good their edits were. That is unless they arrange for multiple rounds of comment and editing which is unlikely. From my experience over 3 years ownership and previously 24 years in finance in the US, most people either wing it or pay for full edits.

> You can't even drag and drop files (images, html files, pdf) to it.

Worse, you can’t even save from it. IIRC my first interaction with Edge was trying to grab one of my scripts or config files off GitHub. Opened the raw text file and couldn’t save it. Searched frantically for “how to save from Edge”, got joke answers like “you can print it”. What a disaster.
Nice. I made something almost exactly like this using puppeteer as well except it took screenshots of all the pages of a site. It crawled first getting all site pages, then created a JSON config file that would be used to take screenshots with. I should really throw this up on GitHub as well.

Genetics is not that simplistic. A male born with androgen insensitivity syndrome have every genetic marker for being male, with male chromosomes, but get female genital and female secondary sexual characteristics. AIS has a range from mild, partial and full, and is only one of many areas where you get gender variation.

There were a study that looked if biological sex difference in the brain matched the chromosome or the gender that a person say that they are, and it found that biological sex difference did not match the chromosome for transsexuals. It matched the gender that the person said they were. The study also concluded that hormone replacement was not a factor as they only tested those who had not gone through that.

This mean that genital and secondary sexual characteristics are not adequate to correctly identify the genetic sex, nor is biological sex difference such as brain composition, bones or other traits which normally differ between genders. DNA is the closest thing to a clean binary state, but then we have strange cases where some individuals have multiple DNA in them, and thus have both XX and XY. As such the best scientific conclusions is that both gender and sex is a probabilistic result of the combined traits that we associate with male, female, man and woman.
I've been using kotlin and swift. They've partly removed null with the 'maybe' feature.

So instead of calling methods on null objects the methods are just not called if the object is null.

This helps when there's a race condition, and you attempt to call a method on a null object, and then that solves itself by the same code being called again without the race condition.

But a lot of the time if the object is null and the method is not called you still have an error, but it's just not a null pointer error now.

This 'nullless' code is nice in some places, especially with UI lifecycles calling code repeatedly, but other times it just changes the type of error you debug.

Cars stole that space from people walking, horses, carts, bicycles, donkeys, livestock, etc.

For thousands of years it was normal for children to play in the street, for people to stop and converse, etc.

Then drivers turned up, said "move or I will kill you", and weirdly we decided the streets were for cars. It grates when people say that people walking have any less right to stand in the middle of the street because they're not wearing a car.

This was the result of a concerted PR campaign. https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2012/04/invention-jay...

Perhaps we should take some space from cars (really, from people who happen to be in cars) and give it back to people.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why did Microsoft create a web browser in the first place? Did Microsoft make any more money by having control of the dominant web browser?

They could have just let Netscape win. Later when Google demonstrated the value of search, Microsoft could have just shipped Firefox with Bing set at the default search engine. Microsoft wouldn't have had to pay for decades of browser development, and it wouldn't have been slapped with a huge anti-trust action by the US Department of Justice.

FINALLY!!! The bottom line is that Chromium has won in all areas of the engine wars and Chrome has won the browser wars. Heck Chrome has even won in the testing area once it release a headless version. Everyone uses Chrome as a baseline when checking how their site renders. Like 99% of Windows users, I used Edge to download Chrome. This is a smart move by Microsoft, having the browser that is package with Windows, using the most popular rendering engine, will make people think twice about having to download another browser.

Nah. There will always be missing values, no matter how many layers of safety measures we wrap around the fact. Hitting a NULL in C is very unforgiving; but that's just the spirit of C, there are plenty of ways to provide a less bumpy ride in higher level languages.

My own baby, Snigl [0], uses the type system to trap runaway missing values without wrapping. Which means that you get an error as soon as you pass a NULL, rather than way down the call stack when it's used.

> G Suite from Google is still Gmail...

I think there's a confusion, by GMail, I've pointed to the free offering, not the GSuite, sorry for being not clear.

> My point was that people aren’t willing to vote with their wallet, but being a loud mouth doesn’t cost anything.

Because I think that the same people believe that their e-mail is not that private, so they don't feel the need for voting with their wallets, however they are loudmouths because they're bothered by the breaches or privacy invasions they read/hear. They feel they are either exempt from this or not affected as much, so they're not alarmed.

Norvig and Thrun's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence class was pretty awful.

"4. People get job, or they don't (I bet they don't, since having low learning capacity isn't a good predictor for getting a job in an intellectual field), either way Udacity gets paid."

The problem isn't that Microsoft implemented an unfinished API. It's that they implemented an unfinished API and didn't update it later to reflect the changes.

When new APIs are in development (in a standards body) by all means implement the incomplete/early version in your browser! Just put a warning somewhere for developers that changes will happen and that they should expect to have to update their code along with the standard as each iteration comes out.

Microsoft made a huuuuuuuge mistake by implementing an unfinished API and then refusing to make breaking changes later. Breaking changes are to be expected when you do stuff like this!

Back when MS did this they were still highly arrogant about their position in the browser market and probably still thought they could get away with their usual "embrace and extend" bullshit... Where they decide "the standard" regardless of what any standards body or the rest of the world/community thinks.
I tried Emacs several time. The concept is cool but the execution makes it so that for me, in practice, VS Code is better.

I'd want either:

* tabs with a good UX

or

* super powerful, easy to use, integrated command and fuzzy file search, also with a good UX.

I'd also want a terminal at least as good as the VS Code one, on Windows, to use with Cygwin.

With Emacs I'd have to learn a big bunch of terminology no other editor uses for a bit of flexibility while losing quite a bit of functionality.

Sadly for Emacs, I think that most devs are closer to my train of thought than to that of existing Emacs users.
Yes, creative still f*cking matters
I'm honestly a bit confused. This is the second comment I've seen regarding the lack of this feature. It's not one I ever use purposefully, so maybe I just don't understand what's missing. But, with Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy, I can zoom in and out of text and photos by pinching, with no issues at all. Was it a long time ago when you last tried it perhaps?
Some systems already do that. C#'s Double type includes Double.NaN, Double.NegativeInfinity, and Double.PositiveInfinity. Math.Log(-1) does indeed return NaN.

Relative to what they used to cost, sure. Relative to batteries they are quite cheap. It takes a lot of batteries to move a bus, and they have to be replaced every few years because they are charged and discharged multiple times per day.
:tabedit % will do that in vim. :tabclose to close the tab when you're done.
The thing is, you're focusing on when you've detected that there is an issue (a crash). A lot of the issues with NULL are the fact that you can't easily detect if beforehand. It's not indicated in the types, or the syntax. That means that it's incredibly easy for a NULL issue to sneak into an uncommon branch or scenario, only to be hit in production.
I've been told you should play around with new ways to retro. Meh. We have a spreadsheet with columns: went well, wishy washy, needs improvement, action items, and give thanks. People can fill it out as things come up in the sprint or in the fisrt few minutes of retro.

It guides discussion, but requires active participation and a shared knowledge that this is a "safe place" to call out issues. We try to make action items around things that are frustrations for improvement. The give thanks is a good time to reflect on help you've gotten. Personally, I'll reach out to individuals called out in that column (who are on other teams) and their manager to say how they helped me or the team.

Really, we learn by making mistakes. Spotting them and discussing them and coming up with actionable, trackable remediations is what makes retros valuable to us. Bigger mistakes and being honest about lapses in meeting expectations lead to better retros.

You need determinism in all multiplayer games that do not have an authoritative server. Although I would argue that you would want determinism in all games.

In terms of this game in particular, it's a multiplayer coop action shooter so you want everything the behave the same way on both players machines. The player models should be in consistent places in the world, bullets should fly in the same direction on both, grenades and other physics objects should bounce the same way.

If these things do not happen then you will have diverging realities on each of the machines.
