Man, a web browser that works on all the current existing devices on the planet is not something that I would consider trivial, at all.

Internet Explorer needed a brand new operating system that forces it for anything you do to regain some momentum...

Apple has to offer obviously stuff that you can't do easily with other browsers, like integration with the password manager, etc...

Google Chrome... We will see what happens in 10 years. They are making more and evident what they developed that browser for.
That's probably the biggest risk, yes: a big drop, followed by a slow decline. (Sort of the opposite of the "gradually, and then suddenly" line.)

I suspect the bottom line comes down to the bottom line, though; Tumblr has spent over a decade being a pit that absorbs money, and Verizon is not the kind of company that's going to run a service like that as an experiment. They're making a bet that kicking off the pronz will increase ad revenue, and I'm sure they have projections to back that bet up. That doesn't mean the projections are right, of course, but I don't see how a money-losing Tumblr would have continued under Oath. If this bet doesn't work and they shut it down, everyone will say "ha, we told you that you shouldn't have kicked off the pronz," but the pronz ain't never brought in the bucks for them, and we can safely assume "explicitly set out to monetize the pronz" was never in the cards.
The only way to independently verify a leak is to have a third party create a couple of user accounts with unique passwords and setup a corresponding gmail / facebook honeypot account which would alert them to logins. If my quoraAcct2 password ever gets hacked and used to login to my fake gmail or facebook account, I know that quora was compromised. Works with any site.

An app is unhelpful if the site works fine in a mobile browser. I would never install the Facebook app for example.
In addition to the FTP, half the work in getting these alt data feeds in finance is getting the metadata right, such as getting each record tied to an entity or security, knowing how much of a lead/lag the data is available and how soon it's tradable. Quandl helps with the technical friction and also this metadata and security mapping aspect.
Agreed. Email is the canonical federated service, but the App Store allows plenty of email apps even though they could be used to send CP.
I've yet to see anyone try to explain how it's not an invasion of privacy without actually making an argument for how it is an invasion of privacy.
Its a bit of a loose tour of theories, but certainly not bullshit. I spot things I disagree with like the widely held idea that Einsteins physics rules out an "absolute frame", the sense of that depends on a certain restriction of what absolute means in relation to a time/space frame. We are in a local time/space frame which is connected to and consistent with nearby and all connected frames. It is absolute in the sense that it is continuous, its just hard to visualize the 'superframe' which is the product of all the local frames. A satellite experiment successfully confirmed the Earths rotation causing our nearby frame to "shift", or rather rotate.

Many would disagree with that contention of mine, the depth of my understanding, and language used - it surely could be improved and occasionally is by an experienced experts advice. Similarly, this article I think will be full of such potential disagreements and corrections but that doesnt mean its not a well written and valuable exploration of the extensive subject of meanings and perceptions of time.

I remember Paul Graham gave a keynote at one of the Pycons some years ago. It was about interesting ideas that you might want to work on in the future.

One idea was to build a search engine that returns unpersonalized results. He talked about how Google will be moving into a "it's true, if it's true for you" kind of world. His idea was that it will open new opportunities. I think DuckDuckGo is one example, and they've grown and are doing pretty well. I think a lot of it comes as a reaction to Google, Facebook and other such things.

"It's true, if it's true for you" is also a great phrase worth remembering. It describes so much about the current world and where things are headed, and why some things seemed to have gone off rails.
Choose the engine that works for you. They just announced their store. There is a very long way to go before it becomes the next steam.

Tons of unity devs switched over to Unreal back in the day. Most came back. Unity is still, by very far, the dominate engine.

Well in a dynamically typed language there is also the possibility than something you expect to be an integer is in fact a string. Null or Nil or None is not different in this respect than any other type.

But of course you can make bugs involving nulls. The OP shows an example in a dynamic language where null is returned instead of the regular value if a lookup key is not found. Obviously this is ambiguous when the found value can also be null. But the problem is not the null per se, the problem is using a sentinel value to indicate a special condition when the same value is also a legitimate regular value. This is just bad API design.

You can keep your Gmail account forever and transition to a new email in a slow pace. By auto forwarding your Gmail to your new account, or if your new email can act like POP or IMAP client to access your old Gmail, this process is painless.

I had a Gmail in the month it was launched and I switched to my own domain (ironically, still in GSuite) in a process that took a few years. Whenever I login into a site with my old email, I would update it to the new one. My current email still connect to my old Gmail over POP3, but it’s mostly empty.

> 4. Most city parking spots are controlled by guys who "take care" of your car while you're away for notes (really your car would be better off without them, they sometimes scratch your car if you don't pay).

Back in the 90s this would routinely happen at English football grounds. The ‘watchers’ were the local kids - at Roker Park in Sunderland, in my case.

The point is that your car is guaranteed to be scratched if you don’t pay the fee.
So the OEMs would Instead install a Linux bootstrap system that gets online and then downloads+installs Windows on behalf of the user.

Linux distros already do exactly that for other “open source but non-redistributable” things Microsoft offers, like the MS Core Fonts. The distros’ packages for the fonts don’t contain the fonts, but rather a wizard that goes and gets them from Microsoft’s servers on behalf of the user, and then installs them.

This seems legitimate enough, as an approach; nobody’s ever been sued for this. So I’m not sure there would be much difference in the legality of it if it were the whole OS.
The spindly nature of Computer Modern that you see on computer screens is because of a poor translation of Knuth's Computer Modern design (whose default parameters were tuned taking into account the amount by which ink spreads on the page, on the printing devices Knuth was targeting) into outline fonts (which do not take into account the fact that there's no ink spread on the screen).

No, that's not "the point" of a CSA. CSAs use a fairly liberal definition of economic linkage to define regions, and it's transitive. Just because you live in the bay area CSA doesn't mean you'd be able to reasonably commute from Oakland to San Jose for work.

The New York CSA spans into upstate New York and Pennsylvania. It isn't reasonable for normal people to make a daily commute from upstate New York.

Presumably if you’re not wealthy enough to afford all 3, then a full cup will resolve 90% of your needs, and you can fallback to cheaper bras for the uncommon case (which is a significant improvement over what is the apparent norm; 100% of the time your bra is uncomfortable reduced to 10%, for $350)

And ofc if you’re often wearing non-“everyday” outfits.. you’re probably spending quite a bit on clothing anyways, and can probably afford 2-3 at the $350 price range

CNAB makes reproducibility possible by providing unified lifecycle management, packaging, and distribution. Of course if bundle authors don't take care to work around problems with imperative logic, that's a risk. In practice, we see declarative models for building bundles offer more reproducibility.

For example, see how you can build a CNAB using a Terraform base image: https://github.com/deislabs/bundles/tree/master/terraform

Yeah, that's kind of the definition of "non-sustainable."
Exactly what I was thinking. Did the study control for genetic effects? The study compared "weightlifters" and "runners" - people who have presumably already been pursuing the activity for some time, instead of of being randomly assigned to such an experimental condition.

So we might expect that genetically stronger people (with stronger tongues) would gravitate toward weightlifting, with the same trend for self-identified "runners" and endurance.

Its correct that there are similarities, but the difference in this case is that its a system-wide policy enforcing the use of a system-provided DLL that is causing the issue (everywhere) as opposed to your scenario being more of a userspace issue that, an admittedly skilled, user can get themselves out of .. In your case, I'd fix it with some hot LD_PRELOAD action - I'm not sure how I'd endeavour to address this on a production Windows system, however.
Google has a history of introducing products and then killing them. For developing mobile apps they currently support "vendor native" via Android Studio using Java or Kotlin, Progressive Web Apps, and now Flutter.

Will Google really support all three over the long term?
It is an interesting idea to built it on top of XMPP. I'm not sure how much advantage this is over just running a regular webpage. The front page is pretty breathless about getting updates to your readers instantly, but that's not really a feature I'm interested in for a blogging platform. They also talk about being able to use chat clients to use the platform, but I don't see how a big HTML rich text post is going to look very good on a chat client.

It seems like an unnecessary complication to me.
That is insane. Denying entry to someone going on vacation because the higher ups did something the EU arbitrarly disagrees with?
I'm not a real proponent of TDD, but... try writing some tests first, when you develop a new feature. Or at least, write them sooner - before your implementation is "done"; write them when you think you figured out the design. See, tests are a new use of your API/interfaces - if you find it hard to test stuff that's important, maybe you didn't model the problem right?

Rules of thumb:

- Don't test implementation, test business workflows ("functional/component tests" are most important; unit tests are sometimes/often nice, but don't overdo it! If a simple refactoring breaks lots of tests, you're doing it wrong - testing implementation detail, not business logic); e2e tests are good and required, but are often slow and when they fail they don't necessarily always isolate the problem very well

- Seek a functional coding style, once you get used you'll find out it is easier to test and easier to reason about (no state means you just test the logic, and it's easy to unit-test too)

- Largely ignore code coverage (use it as a guideline to see whether there are important parts of your app that you ignored/ whether you forgot to add tests for some business workflows/ corner cases).

- Avoid test hacks like calling private methods via reflection or whatnot. Remember, tests exercise your APIs - you either have the APIs wrong, or you're trying to test irrelevant implementation details.

- Look for invariants, and test those. Things that should always be true. Often times, there are multiple acceptable results - avoid exact-match tests when that happens (e.g. if you make a speech-to-text system, don't test that audio clip X produces exact output Y; often times, a genuine improvement in the algorithm might break some of your tests).

TBH I think correct testing is much harder than the industry gives it credit for. Maybe that's why it's so rarely encountered in practice :)
I’ve also written a similar addon, although much simpler, using static css filters:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-mode-night-re...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-mode-nig...

https://gitlab.com/o9000/darken

It has 4 presets that can be configured per domain.

I’ve added by hand rules to fix inverted images on some popular websites. YouTube is a pain to maintain, they keep changing their css every couple of months.

The code is simple enough to review even for someone not familiar with JS. And you can download it and load it as a local extension if you’re worried about the permission.

I’ve only tested it under Linux, I don’t use anything else. But some users tell me it works under Windows too.
