I don’t experience any lockup’s. I switched to Firefox as my main browser on Linux and macOS over a year ago full time. Google Meet finally works properly with it, so I don’t even have to use chrome for that last thing.

I don’t know what you’re doing, but I’ve never had a lockup in that entire time (and I run Beta), as far as I can tell, it is the fastest of all my options.

The very last thing that I notice any difference on is energy usage, for which Safari is still king. I don’t use Firefox on my iPhone, as there’s not much point (I wish Apple would change their restriction here).

"[...] in the form of people seeking salvation from demons through the Catholic faith’s most mystical ritual."

Funny that they used the word "salvation" in that sentence, given that exorcism is NOT on the list of the Catholic faith's four "most mystical rituals".

If you look for squatty potty on amazon you can find alternatives that are cheaper and look exactly the same. It’s going to be a tough market for them. There is nothing they can really patent here.
Maybe I missed in the article but it seems they're not using 3D modeling. Why not, esp. considering the prevalence of cheap 3D sensors? According to Google there are many people working in this area (as well as shoe fitting).

The goal should be to totally smash current custom fit prices, e.g. to ~$50 level, e.g. using a self-serve fitting station at Macy's. Many such stations can be monitored by one person, similar to how self-serve check out stations are monitored in grocery stores.

The above is for mass market. OP's manual approach can still be used as a high-end service for those who can afford it, e.g. pret-a-porter vs. tailor.

EDIT: a better solution would be if the store itself allowed you to inspect the source that went into building the plugin. Then you would only need to trust the store itself, which you already do (when you trust the browser).

If a game is 15% cheaper or has a larger discount in a different store then why not buy from that one, and if I have to choose I will buy from GOG because of DRM free, if that is not possible and prices would be equal on store A and B I would buy from the store that gets more money to the developers because I want them to get enough money to continue the games.
Yes, option types are awesome. No, they are not nulls.

Algebraic data types are not direct support "no data found at the type level". Algebraic types are really just a fancier enum/union type. It just so happens that inventing special sentinel values is awesome when you have an algebraic type system to check your work.

Which is precisely what my post was saying was an issue with existing policy. I find it a little odd that you'd respond to point out the norm, to a post complaining about the norm, and expect the norm to be in and of itself a justification.

Work created an additional cost via required travel. It isn't at all similar to your "clothing for meetings" example because you'd need those without the travel component. When travel itself creates additional costs: those costs should be compensated.

Prior to Disney Movies Anywhere, I would forego the deals on Vudu due to being yet another library to manage. After DMA, I started to buy Disney/Marvel/Pixar movies where the best deal was at. After Movies Anywhere, that expanded to titles that were part of Movies Anywhere.

> If it's always been about oil, then the US is currently the largest oil producer. Why are we still relying on these countries for anything?

"Oil" means "lots of money". Why do capitalist nations work with extremely rich unethical countries? Well, we want some of their money.

And because "free trade!!" is a reasonable argument in the US, a whole web of conflicting motives has sprung up perpetuating trade... weapons manufacturers and fossil fuel infrastructure companies lobbying politicians for "jobs" (profit), citizens misled by simplified mainstream media, hawkish doves demanding stability for the people by supporting strong states, dovish hawks insisting on elimination of rebel forces, Europe's reliance on stability to avoid immigration crisis and dependency on Russian energy, huge foreign investments in the US economy (eg Silicon Valley), stability of international oil prices influencing stability of domestic revenue, religious tension and political lobbying (Israel)... on and on.

That's not really NULL's fault that it causes confusion in SQL. That's just ternary logic. People who don't handle NULLs in SQL aren't really mishandling the NULL. NULL is just a value. They're simply failing to understand the Boolean value of UNKNOWN and what that means. They're so used to thinking only in bivalent logic that the additional complexity throws them off.

However, "It's more complex for me to think about," or, "I don't understand the convention," or even, "It's easy to forget the convention," are not a very convincing arguments. It's similar to arguments about little endian vs big endian. Yes, big endian is how we write our positional numbers, but little endian makes casts a noop. Or arguments about zero-based array indexing. These concepts aren't difficult. They're just more complex. Negative numbers aren't difficult, but they're more complicated than just cardinal numbers. Fractions and decimals aren't difficult, but they're more complex than integers. Multiplication and division aren't difficult, but they're more complex than addition and subtraction.

There isn't a lot of correlation between gun laws in an area and gun violence. Even if you have strict gun laws, its not that hard to get guns in neighboring areas with more lax laws. Also, the vast majority of gun violence is self inflicted, or between associates. If you aren't living in the ghetto, the chances of becoming the victim of random gun violence is slim to none.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are extreme outliers in soccer/football, even compared to other greats. They're probably 10x. Trouble is amateurs don't play in the big leagues, so we don't have data on how a normal person would peform. There is an amusing Ronaldo vs Ronald video. I think it's called "Tested to the Limit."

Occasionally a 1st league team plays a 3rd league. I saw a video of Napoli vs Nowhere go 26-0. They scored about as fast as the game could be reset to kick-off. That's more than 10x.
Aside from performance: I find the role based access controls far easier to use than, eg. GCP (which likes to claim I don't have access to things even when I'm using an admin account). The firewall is also really easy to use and configure (via the web UI or by defining a simple rule language and setting it up via, eg. Terraform).

My favorite thing hands down is how they handle and use machine metadata though; tags you define in the web UI (or via your infrastructure provisioning mechanism) get shoved onto the machine by zoneinit and then can be used on the machine for configuration, or can show up in the web UI after provisioning (eg. the postgres image uses this to render a "show credentials" button). The service names and what not also can automatically be shoved in DNS (for a simple form of service discovery, although you'll need to implement some form of authentication on top of that since DNS isn't secured), or certain images will automatically trust any public keys you define on your Triton account (I think the SmartOS base-64 image does this, as well as the Debian 9 image).

Unfortunately the documentation for all this is terrible.

EDIT: I left out the other major benefit over some other providers: I can run anything I want, not just supported images. Even if it's something that doesn't fit in an lx zone, they ported KVM over so you can always run, eg. netbsd or whatever in a more traditional virtualized environment. This is great for when you have a few legacy machines left over that aren't using SmartOS or one of their lx- Linux images.
I purchased and like the Dark Reader Safari extension (despite already having the paid Dark Mode extension).

My only question is with the promotion of a paid Safari extension whether the developer is concerned about a possible trademark infringement suit.
The single place I've lived the longest in my life was a little apartment in "East Williamsburg" (read: Bed-Stuy / Bushwick). I was five stops away from the LES on the JMZ and the L and my rent barely notched up annually. Back when I worked around Wall Street, it was 30-minutes door-to-door, and if hanging out in Manhattan during the summer I'd sometimes walk home from anywhere below 23rd street.

When I first got that apartment in 2001, my rent was $900 and when I finally left after 11 years, my rent was $1,350. I loved that little apartment, the neighborhood - which has barely changed since, and my neighbors. I was truly sad to leave it.

I've been trying to convince other friends who moved to NYC to stop complaining about rent and join the common folk in the other boroughs, some of whom never left Manhattan except to head to and from the airport. I can't imagine what NYC looks like from that perspective, but I'm positive it's a lesser view.
>If it weren't for that, I might have wasted away, disintegrated, completely detached from the normal human world.

Or you might have found a friend and started a social circle based on common interests. Now you never have to, you get various approximations of that. You can hop onto an MMO and have an approximation of a social circle. You can code until a manager says "good job" and have an approximation of social approval. Hell you can watch porn and get an approximation of sex. You can watch ASMR videos and get an approximation of affection (don't tell me a video of a cute girl with audio that sounds like she's whispering in your ear isn't meant to be an approximation of affection).

It's good to have tech and the things it brings us, but on the other hand they're clearly sucking people into a passive life where they interact with the actual world as little as possible. I've looked back on how socially retarded I am because I ran away from the world using these tools, and I don't like it. And it's only a personal failure to a certain extent. We all know, clear as a bright spring day, that a lot of apps and services are build deliberately to keep you there as long as possible as often as possible.

When people say they wouldn't have it any other way, I'm not sure it's for any reason but they either don't know or can't handle any other way.

I understand your situation. I think there's no avoiding the fact that you'll be missing on big titles due to it. But the great thing is that new games are always around the corner and sooner or later some will fall into your net (GoG, etc.) Also, big titles sometimes end up on GoG-like fronts after aging.

> Apple asks developer to send an ID card photo.

To me this sounds like the most vital thing to improve trust. Having browser developers review all the source code in detail is unrealistic, and even then, won't defeat underhanded programming (is it a bug or a deliberate vulnerability?). Legal accountability combined with auditability at least provide a deterrent to publishing malicious software.
M-x compile (and related) works too.

Is anybody the least bit surprised? It’s been obvious forever that google has absolutely zero respect for privacy.

Yes, this can be rationalized as ‘improving search results’, and indeed the results may be better.

But, it’s also building a personal profile without consent, or indeed with implied lack of consent.

If google cared about privacy, they would simply offer people the option not to be tracked, and respect it.

They don’t.
Your argument isn’t rigorous in that it assumes salaries are the same. A programmer earning 70k in London would be hard pressed to earn the equivalent in Euros in Amsterdam. Also as someone who has spent a good bit of money in bars and clubs all around Amsterdam as a student, and not just as a tourist in the red light district, I don’t know where you’ve managed to get beer below 2.50 apart from one or two self-professed anarchist establishments, so I don’t know how rigorous a source Numbeo is either.
This extension so far is neat to try with the day to day sites I visit.

The security settings do seem to be concerning, but I'm not sure if it's due to how much Firefox, Safari and Chrome have locked down their worlds.

Edit: One unintended side effect is copying and pasting text into an email (like an address from a google search) copies the text with a black background. I could do a plaintext copy, but it would be nice if text was copied in the original formatting if possible.

I don't believe TiDB is a time series DB, it's an OLTP and OLAP database and not indexed by time by default unless that's part of the table schema. I would also assume that TiKV by default is using size/leveled based compaction as it uses RocksDB, not time window compaction.
We tell our clients this over, and over, and over, and over. And over. It's really hard to let their baby into the world without it being perfect. Even when you show them the graveyard of products (my own included!) that found themselves there because their owners hadn't defined what "Good enough" means from the get-go.

I'm the last one to say you shouldn't scrutinize what Google does, but this is complete non-news.

In the beginning, I was suspecting actively used logged-out cookies like Facebook infamously uses for example (try it, they're showing your face and keep tracking you all over the web). Reading on about differing search results in private mode, I was then expecting something like Google actually using IP + Fingerprint matching, which would be way more devious.

In the end, this was purely about Google showing a different page to everyone. Playing the devil's advocate, this is about the only way to escape the exploration/exploitation dilemma.

Is DuckDuckGo seriously complaining that Google is basically A/B testing everything, all the time? Because if that's the case, their data scientists should take some notes here.
They’re not direct support, but option types only work in languages with the right syntax and tooling to make them work. C union types, for example, aren’t really capable of providing a null replacement simply because they’re so complex to use.
> Many coding jobs are equivalent to being a brick layer (intellectually)

Anything remotely as simple and repeatable as "brick laying" gets automated in the industry. Nobody pays the requisite >$100k/yr in the Bay for something that simple.

You complain about "arrogance", but your notion that there's many coding jobs out there that are as mindless as brick laying actually reveals a much sharper bias, and is simply untrue.

> Most CS degrees teach you how to benchpress 500 lbs.

Right... so you and your CS-graduating friends can "benchpress 500 lbs" intellectually, but fortunately most coding jobs are so trivial they're like "brick laying".

Who are you calling arrogant again?

In reality, this dichotomy doesn't exist. There's no upper-class/lower-class chasm in any tech company I know. Everyone is competing for the same jobs.

Maybe now you can understand why someone who never went to college and just completed a 4-10 month course finds it hard to compete with you Stanford kids.
