My complaint is the fact that not eating incredibly disgusting things is rude. Imagine being offered the following two choices:

- Drink a glass of fresh-out-of-the-chicken blood.

- Alienate all your coworkers.

Is there some reason you wouldn't feel aggrieved at this?
I rarely see it mentioned, but when 1Password changed to a subscription model I switched to Enpass (https://www.enpass.io) and I've been very happy with it.
Electron seems to use less memory on Windows. Also, Discord seems to be more efficient than other Electron chat apps.
I should mention, I'm currently using Firefox on Windows and Safari on macOS; Chrome is gone from my life. I really like Firefox following their Quantum update; it feels super speedy!

But, I was kinda putting myself in the mindset of the GP. They're currently using Chrome's password manager, so they clearly prefer Chrome, and while Safari and Firefox have advantages, there's no overwhelming need for anyone to switch right now. For the sake of a democratized web, I hope that changes some day in the future.
Pretty sure Daggerfall sold quicker than Baldur's Gate at launch, but hit production bottlenecks as they didn't anticipate the success. That just seems like more evidence that the market was underserved at the time.
Just to make sure its known, the game source code was released to its fans in 2002. It has since been maintained under the subtitle The Ur-Quan Masters, and plays on everything.

It is freely available here: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Play it.
I don't totally understand what his problem is. He doesn't want to take money that people are trying to give him? What is the problem here exactly? If he doesn't want it, why not just donate it or something?

It's not like the browser is setting up a crowd funding page for you.. it just lets you know you can pay your favorite content creators how you want instead of a huge unfair chunk going to google.

And for the record, and of you are free to send me money in any which way you can, I even accept trained pigeon courier!
I tell people my personal email address at least once a week and I’ve never had anyone ‘shut down’. Sometimes after I finish saying it they ask, ’Is that it?’ That’s all though. I’m rik@hemsley.cc and when I registered it I was half expecting trouble but it hasn’t materialised.
Hopefully our spiritual and intellectual betters will start to leverage humans this way. The future is bright.
de-Googled Chromium from an entity we trust is key here. Google and Microsoft are not trustworthy. The cool company of the day is not trustworthy in the long run, agreed. The only entity I know that I trust is Mozilla.

I am backing Mozilla each year with small donations and yet I am not using Firefox. I tried many times and I always return to Chromium (Brave on mobile and Chrome on Desktop).

So my solution is for Mozilla to fork Chromium and see what happens.
At the risk of over-simplifying, it just seems like SC needed/needs a good project manager or producer, someone who is solely focused on shipping something. So many software projects end up in this perpetual alpha state because nobody has an actual step-by-step plan to ship it and is cracking the whip on it.

Bias: I’m a project manager :-)
Has anyone gone through the process of switching? I use Keeper for personal stuff, and I suppose there's always the chance to switch if one turns out to be technically or politically much superior, but there are dozens and dozens of passwords in there to transfer...
Good point.

I guess I should specify that I was thinking of the "good democracies". I get there can be things people don't like about any of them, but I figured the trade offs between those and totalitarianism was self evident if you lived in one, I guess I was wrong.
Facebook open-sources a speech-recognition system and a machine learning library
We used to have 9-6 working hours, but +- 2 each way, it was funny, almost everyone chose to come in early, and do 7 to 3, except the programmers who all decided to do 10 to 7 or 11 to 8,

It worked well though
Hey there, I'm the guy that wrote this — I just wanted to point out that the really neat thing about this (in my opinion) is that you can gather around a single screen (located at "/canvas"), and control the bugs from phones/tablets (using "/control"). This is a much easier interface for three-year-olds to use than a mouse, and adds some interactivity that kids will hopefully enjoy.

I made this for my own three year old, and so far he seems fairly underwhelmed, but we'll see where it goes.
This article lists a few issues, some valid, others not, but all exaggerated. No mention whatsoever of the many advantages Go brings much less a comparison between the pros and cons. There are a lot of interesting critiques of Go; sadly, this isn't one of them.
And I'm sure they'll cut every corner they can to get there, and resist every effort to assess that their cars are safe, and reliable for people.
I'd say the 1960s Civil Rights movement in the US was primarily successful because it mobilized the middle class.
They have a third-party contractor, Turbulent [1], that builds their website, including the roadmap visualization.

The data from the roadmap comes from CIG's internal Jira. There's some sort of automated export once every week. I presume they tag Jira items in some way so they show up on the roadmap.

They've been providing a roadmap for Star Citizen (the MMO counterpart to Squadron 42) for a year. It's been reasonably accurate about what will be delivered in the next quarter, with only a few things slipping. It's been mostly inaccurate about the following quarter. Longer term plans are almost always delayed.

It's reasonable to assume the SQ42 roadmap will experience the same sorts of delays and I think plotting out a roadmap to this level of detail was a mistake. I think it reflects a culture of wishful thinking among CIG's upper management and the delays will inflame the fans and the press.

(To be clear: I don't think there's anything wrong with delays. Software is always delayed. The mistake isn't the delays; it's believing the estimates.)
Yet more reasons my employer chose to partner with GCP instead of AWS

On the "enterprise" end of cloud computing, the only truly good options are GCP & Azure

AWS is very much the IBM of yesteryear - it's expensive, but "no one ever got fired for buying AWS" ... except AWS is about to have (even starting already) their own IBM moment - question is, will they fail to pivot the way IBM did?
I've built an app which checks an uptime monitor using lambda.

It runs periodically through cloudwatch and checks if my website is up and sends me an SMS using Twilio if it's down.

It pulls the list of urls from Google Sheet where i add all urls that i need to check.
As natural as it might be, it's wrong. If you are, for example, a US resident, the US government is in a great position to use any information they have about you. The Chinese government, not so much, especially if you have no desire or plans to travel to China.
Honestly I would find it much easier to pay you in BAT fully but Ill be honest, that sounds like a pretty convoluted process.
Why would you bother staying at work if you have nothing to do. Take your laptop home and VPN for OC issues if that’s why.

But I can’t unders how you can have nothing to do. If you feel like doing nothing, that I understand. Some days just don’t work. But having nothing to do is quite surprising.
Some of the questions are overt: Did the friends chose the actors who looked and sounded more like a "thief" (aka minority stereotype)?

Some are less overt: Was he fooled by the actors because of his own preconceptions about what a thief looks and sounds like? He had the full GPS tracking and footage, after all. Did he ignore evidence that might have clued him in that it wasn't real, because of those biases?

By setting it up so they get paid if an only if it gets stolen, did he unintentionally incentivise his friends to fake the footage that matched his own preconceptions of what a real thief looks like?

After all, we know he was stolen from multiple times. We know he has footage, and knows what they look like. Was he convinced because of his preconceptions?

That's what we are talking about here. Once it's revealed it's fake, we suddenly are approached by a whole tangle of messy racial bias in how this made it from conception to production to consumption.
Daggerfall was absolutely wonderful. It was like Elite but a fantasy RPG. Morrowind felt like a _huge_ step back, and even Skyrim falls short of the scale and sense of wilderness and exploration.
Me too. Enpass is great.
But gta v started with gta IV, right? The engine was overhauled and improved - but SC started from scratch, pretty much?
Stuart Halloway has a saying: "To me, schema means power. So when people say 'schema-less', I hear 'power-less.'"
Maybe you should pay attention to the campaign. A simple search on Google or r/starcitizen has all the evidence you need. In fact, SQ42 was promised as early as Fall 2015 (with SC having its commercial launch in 2016) in CIG's own slidedeck [0], but I remember the 2016 promise being memorable because they didn't change it even into 2017.

Just to note I was also expecting the occasional web form to decide my address wasn’t valid, but it hasn’t happened.

I’m not sure why it’s been plain sailing but perhaps I’ve just been lucky to pick a TLD that happens to work okay for both these scenarios.
So Germany removes 1.1 billion in subsidies, and out of the woodwork containing all the libertarian anti-government spending hawks comes the pro-coal job loss lamentation.

Can the political right please choose: either dump govt handouts across the board for energy or dump the exclusive love of fossil fuel jobs? Meanwhile, renewable energy makes 5-10X more employment opportunities and we hear no complaints about these jobs being affected by government cutbacks by anyone on the right.
>Sure Mozilla doesn't have your passwords, but they know who you have passwords with.

Do they? I just skimmed the source and could not find anything that hints at that (and implementing it the way you said it is makes for much more complex code..)
Yes—we changed the title to use language from the original text.

Never mind, plenty of cheap ex-Soviet nuclear power is still available from their neighbors... and Russian natural gas... and Middle Eastern oil... they surely don’t need energy independence! /s
It's not the number of days but the constant fire drills, everything is always top priority, notifications coming at all hours... and at least with software dev very rarely is it a priority to fix poor quality things thereby making even more fire drills.
So? Does the glitter not go everywhere?

> It’s still an impressive invention, and if you believe Rober, most of the video is still legit. But Rober understands why people may not trust him anymore.

He understands incorrectly then. The point of the video was engineering, and not social science.
Yep. I’ll spend most of the morning waking up anyway. I can do it at work or I can do it at home, either way I’m not going to be very productive before afternoon.
Princeton has an extremely strong mathematics department (possibly the best in the world) plus the IAS is nearby. Perhaps they are looking for close collaboration with pure mathematicians? My understanding is that there are not very strong theoretical underpinnings to most of the machine learning techniques in use today.
The question then becomes: how do you find a non-awful recruiter remotely?
> I'd rather a democracy be the biggest producer than an autocracy

But, it's not a game, and we don't NEED to consume as much oil. By rolling back car mileage standards, we will in fact use MORE, not less, so our reliance grows instead of shrinking. We should be moving to alternatives and funding research at a much higher level. Who cares if someone else is the largest producer of oil, if we no longer need it anyway. By not consuming it, they can't profit from it and they will become less powerful regimes.

When we raise output, OPEC immediately counters and lowers theirs to keep prices the same. It's basically a zero sum game. So we end up drilling more and wasting more, and they save theirs for later since they're not pumping as much. How does that help anything besides cause us to run out faster then they do? Are they having to resort to fracking? Nope. They have plenty still, and when theirs gets low they will start doing more fracking and still be ahead. They just aren't as low as we are so they're not having to scrape the bottom of the barrel like we are. If we don't shift off oil, we will run out before they do and prices will soar, which would really damage our economy. We're delaying the inevitable for short term gain and profit.
That’s a strangely editorializing headline. Kinda like “Apple to no longer mine Lithium”. Germany will (and has been) buy coal on the market. It’s easily transported by ship (unlike LNG, and, to some extend, oil), and there are lots of producers in many countries, making dependency a non-issue.

Also: this isn’t really about environmental concerns. Those just weren’t part of the story when this was decided in the 90s, at least not in terms of global warming. Acid rain, and the local trouble with large cities built on top of the mines grappling with more and more geological disturbances were a concern, but the real reasons were simply economics: German coal had become too expensive (around two decades ago). Shutting down it’s heavily-subsidized mining is also consistent with the stated goals of reducing CO_2, because buying on the world market will (slightly) raise prices.

There’s also the minor inaccuracy that Germany will continue mining lignite for a few years, although I guess that’s an acceptable simplification within the constraints of a headline.

The winding down of the coal industry is actually somewhat of a model for such processes. This used to be a hugely influential industry, both in economic powers, as well as cultural. Growing up in the 90s, I remember strikes, protests, and other events around the mining industry and its original boom towns featuring in the news about every second day.

To find compromises that did not satisfy any stakeholders, but succeeded in keeping the peace and, at long last, lead to an environmentally responsible energy strategy was quite a feat.

The claim the author is making (note, I can not substantiate it in any way) is that the query showed a list of restaurants, and that the top 5 (or top X) in the list were restaurants who had paid Google for the privilege of being listed first (or at least paid so that their position in the results list was closer to the top than those who had not paid).

I watched the video and I was quite shocked at how many of the 'thieves' spoke to themselves when seemingly alone. I was wondering if people are that stupid in this 'thieving' class of suburban America.

We all speak to ourselves from time to time, it is as if we have a clutch going on between our brain and our mouths, in childhood we learn to use this clutch to think before we speak. But there will be occasions when we let this go, I could have an accident, e.g. stubbing my toe, in which case I might speak to myself with expletives without an audience for my words needing to be present.

If I had been tricked by this glitter package I might not disengage the 'clutch' due to being surprised and shocked. But I don't think I would have spoke to myself as the people in the video did.

So I was wondering if people were that stupid, but now I am thinking the entire video was fake.

The other aspect that concerned me in the video was the manner that he went off chasing the parcel in his car to the car park and what not. I would be quite apprehensive of confronting people regarding theft and yet I have had plenty of opportunities from working in retail to be able to do that. NASA engineer types generally don't have that street skill and I expected him to show the fear that is natural when confronting people for theft.

I don't think that we have heard the end of how well this video was stage managed and faked, I do not believe a single thief was legit. Why fake some of it and not all of it? Although YouTube this had a sponsor and was a full on TV production, and, in TV you don't have a soap opera where 'some of it is real', everything is scripted and staged or else it isn't. There was no evidence of multiple packages being made, so to create the monetizing ten minutes why risk it going wrong after one genuine thief takes the device and destroys it?

The get a friend of a friend to do it approach means the friends of friends know they have been pranked and aren't going to have law enforcement coming down on them. In America a real thief could pull a gun on our NASA engineer chap out of a fear of being sent back to jail for some parole violation. The reaction and blase way our NASA engineer chap went down hunting the perps didn't fit with how it all works.

I now wonder how he must feel about future Amazon orders, if I was him I would wonder how many of those will get routinely stolen from now on due to the unscientific rules of 'karma'.
That probably makes you quite an outlier.
I want to believe, buuut...It would make more sense to financially incentivize people to set off a glitter/stink bomb in their house or car.

And then there's the other thing about him blurring out the 'thieves' faces, a lot of folks wondered why he would take extra time to do that? Package thieves deserve to be arrested, but the police won't do anything, so instead I'll annoy them with glitter and safeguard their anonymity? Fishy. Not fishy when its people that haven't done anything wrong that are helping you make a video and you don't want them being doxxed/witchhunted.
This landscape chart is awesome!
Oh wow, I wonder who convinced them to consider it. Nice!

The problem isn't that people are trying to give him money, it's that Brave is asking people for that money on his behalf, trying to give it to him, and then not returning it when he turns it down.
I like to work from home when there isn’t much work to do, so then I can have my laptop.

It’s common for us to have a code freeze, where we do not have any items in our backlog.
Exactly, and to do new adaptations, interpretations etc is wonderful and perfectly legit.

What Disney has done is sued over trademark claims on Snow White, Beauty and the Beast etc, trying to claim proprietary ownership of public domain stories, characters and ideas.

Theese suits were expensive and not always successful so they eventually decided to stop explicitly mining the past and start developing their own characters (e.g. mermaid etc).
NSA has been doing this for decades and last I heard USA is still democracy. Dictatorship in India is next to impossible.
I switched from LastPass to 1Password. It was a quick and simple export -> import process.
Agree with every word of this. As ridiculous as it sounds, Daggerfall is probably the only RPG I've played where I felt so much ownership of my character that I spend significant time clothes shopping.
Gas jets make beautiful lens for light we can’t normally focus
I couldn't care any less whether its genuine or not. I've always been baffled at the internet's obsession with outing "fake" content. It's like people think attention is sacrosanct and must ensure that any attention someone gets is "just" according to their personal criteria. It points to our pathological obsession with fame and status.
I quite like Go's error handling. It adds visual structure and makes it apparent which things can fail and how they're handled.

It's a welcome relief from the likes of Python where you only see (and consequently think about) the happy path. This is definitely a big driver of our 500s in our production Python services. While there are many who are genuinely aggrieved by the number of keystrokes, I think a lot of people are annoyed at error handling in Go simply because you have to think about error handling.
It's in the article. Click on "Result".
I just don't enable it. It's not on by default.

For the average user—think your uncle who's about to ask you tech support questions this weekend—using Firefox Sync is way better for their privacy and security than reusing the same password everywhere. And for those of us who have and use password managers, Firefox Sync is not on by default—unlike Brave's attention-tracking or Chrome's Google logins.

I know the politics of countries outside the US are quite different, but I'm a huge fan of things like this statement. I truly think the best place for that money is to never leave the taxpayer's pocket.
(1) Attack surface.
(2) Security abstraction.

(1)This is the same-old argument as "there are more copies of Windows installed then Mac" [semantics aside, there is some truth to it]

(2)Don't shit where you eat. You don't use the same tool to protect that you use. [e.g. Windows Defender vs external gateway/firewall]

(3)Between compliance with the government [in contrast to Apple fighting the government with encryption on iphones], and YOU being the product not Chrome; I don't trust Google to keep my secrets 'secret'.

Summary: WhatsApp aggressively pushing online chat backups, to which they do have the keys.
The economy is globalizing and has been for a very long time. If Wells Fargo is to compete (and let's face it, banks are competing for customers, deposits, and loans all the time), they're going to find what they think is the best value for their investment and expense dollars.

It's no different when you shop around for a car, TV, phone, laptop, other electronics, or even groceries. You often seek the best value for your money and it doesn't make you a bad person, IMO.
