Really? Cause I'm a forty something and i still see all the same places as when i was in your situation: School, work, coffee shops, sports, social clubs, activities, pretty much every place i go has opportunity to casually talk to someone. Funny enough night life locations are probably the worst: Loud, dark, competitive and everyone has their guard up.

My suggestion: Seek out interesting conversation with people, don't target a potential mate. You'll greatly increase your potential pool of both friends and romantics, plus improve your standing within it

> I'm not saying that it isn't better for the actual people/relationship to have the first encounter be in person, I just feel like a lot of people like online dating for that exact purpose

Self-Made Man: One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143038702/ ) has quite a few interesting things to say. Relevant here are the author's observations on dating: she writes that she expected to have a lot of success as a "boyfriend" with her insight into the female mind. That didn't happen -- women picked up on her lack of masculinity and in general weren't happy with it... in person.

But she did experience staggering success in the pre-first-date courtship portion of online dating, allowing her to get dates at rates much superior to what a real man would expect. Online, the women apparently didn't have a good sense of what they wanted.

Your observation reminded me of that -- people preferring a certain approach even though it's actively counterproductive.
I agree with you mostly about Tiobe, it's entirely driven by search trends which can fluctuate for reasons having nothing to do with whether a programming languages is actually being used. Usually even bad benchmarks are comparable relative to themselves but Tiobe's methodology means you can't even really correlate a language's performance relative to itself in the previous survey.

But Groovy seems to be going strong. There was definitely a difficult period after it had to transition to Apache, but momentum seems to be picking up again, and if anything it is getting more used than previously, though in different ways to how it used to.

This looks bad for Google. EdgeSpot detected an in-the-wild exploit and told Google about this in December, but Google wasn't going to fix the bug until late April.

Google only released a patch early because the finder blogged about it.

I'm male, over 6' tall, under 35, with a university degree, and make over $100k. I still think filtering on these criteria is a bad idea if you want to find someone that makes you happy. Obviously people have their preferences and can filter as they please, but I don't think it's objectionable to call people out for being shallow and myopic.
So this is a circumstance where a non-investor is getting some equity for being an advisor and sitting on your board? Best practice would be a straight employment agreement - here's your responsibilities, your comp, expenses we cover, etc. You should also have by-laws, charters and policies&procedures for your board and its committees. You may find more examples if you search for compensation structures for independent board members - who are usually comped with a mix of equity and sitting fees.
Blue light blocking glasses have had such a tremendously positive effect on my sleep habits (earlier bedtime, better sleep quality) that at this point I genuinely feel bad for people who don't use them.

I got a pair that claims to block a very large amount of blue light (at the expense of a distinct orange tint), and just wear them after it gets dark.

It makes sense that they work; your brain uses blue light to time the release of melatonin and such, and our ancestors were only exposed to non-blue light from sitting besides the campfire socializing after the sun went down.

Wearing these allows me to experience much less of a consequence for using a computer at night which I simply cannot get myself to avoid.

Agreed. And I think this is one reason I love FB and can't stand Twitter. I kept buying into the "follow important people on Twitter" and it's just crap. I don't care what a noted Icelandic volcanologist retweeted about canaries. I don't care what my favorite F1 driver retweeted about english football. I don't care. I don't follow "influencers" because I don't care what they think, but I thought at least getting things from the horse's mouth, as it were, would be interesting, but it's just not.

I follow friend and family on facebook. If they post crap, it's because they have stupid things to say. I don't have many friends who I think are stupid.

Obviously you can follow celebrities on facebook and only follow friends on twitter but it doesn't feel like they're made for that use case, the 'reverse' of what I use it for.

At least for now, the record companies and the service providers are both incentivized to have as much of their catalogs as possible on streaming services. Until that changes, streaming works for many.

There is a solution for the rest: let me mix songs from Spotify, my own library, and any other services I pay for in a single playlist.

In the UK, if they repossess and the sale doesn't cover the balance owed, the mortgagor (word of the day!) still owes them the rest. Don't know about the US; I know that in some US states, the mortgagor can walk away from the mortgage scot-free if they feel like it (nonrecourse debt, as it's known).

Walmart is probably better positioned than anyone else in the US market to do so. It's worth noting that the current CEO is relatively "new" (he's been in the role only 5 years and is only 52 years old - a next generation of leader compared to his predecessors).

He is being very proactive in building out things like online grocery, investing heavily in e-commerce (recent public results showing strong outcomes) and lots of targeted M&A related to digitally native brands to broaden the accessible customer segments, spending billions of dollars to remake / refresh the 5,000 stores, etc.

I really hope this event is picked up by the media. This is truly worrisome because it unnecessarily erodes US's ability to be at the forefront of technology research.

I'd like to echo this point. People having more time to do what they want is a net benefit itself. How they choose to use that time is up to them.
> Simply make "I want to see targeted ads" an opt-in choice, then. I suspect the take-up would be a fairly small percentage of the population, but if it would satisfy your needs (and others like you), then I'm all for it.

This is disingenuous, I suspect that you know why. The reason few people would opt-in is not because few people support or agree with the premise. The reasons is the very act of "opting-in" to a thing is a huge barrier.

If receiving CPR was "opt-in", I would expect 1/3 of the population would just never get around to it or somehow be confused with the process. I bet you even could drive the opt-in rate down to 10% just by requiring a separate paper form that had to be requested and mailed to specific address.

Targeted ads are a method by which lots of people are able to make a bit more money. These aren't exciting changes but it is the difference between lots of people having hobby and making it their job. As most people don't care enough about the privacy of their internet history to take trivial steps like using private browsing windows. Why should the obligation to be on the large number of people who don't care when the small number of people who do care can take trivial steps, like private browsing?

I was scared for a second. I'm really loving the amazon go store (though, it also happens to be downstairs from where I work).
I can't imagine how this would work in the real world. Suppose this gained widespread adoption like Tinder; you're at the bar with friends and see a cute girl. Are we going to be expected to first check SingleSpot to see if it's okay to introduce ourselves? Not only would I never do that, but the only purpose of doing that is just to avoid rejection and really just provides a crutch for people with self esteem issues.

Ok so maybe that's not it. Maybe the first step is to find women that are single in the first place! So now I find out that there are a few girls on SingleSpot at the bar. I go to the bar and now we're back to the first situation.

Ok so maybe it's for places other than the bar. SingleSpot says there's a cute girl... at Starbucks. Am I supposed to go into Starbucks, hope that she's still there 10 minutes from now, and then invite myself for coffee at that moment? Am I supposed to walk around with my phone at the library, the grocery store, the gas station looking for Cute Singles Near Me? And why do I need an app to do that anyway? I can just, you know, see girls and say hi if I want to.

I'll even add a personal experience. In college, I caught up with a girl after a class we shared that I had matched with the previous night. I had sent her a message but just assumed she didn't see it. I introduced myself and said that we had matched on Tinder, and got back a (hilariously) blank and bewildered stare. We exchanged numbers and never spoke again. I can't imagine it would have gone better if I said I saw her on Facebook and thought she was cute. People get freaked out when you to pull their online personas into the real world.
That is such an outrageous claim I had to check for myself.

From looking at conhost.exe in IDA Pro, there are some references to telemetry in a function HandleKeyEvent: https://i.imgur.com/MwaBLcW.jpg

But looking more closely it's just used to increase some counters when Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V are used: https://i.imgur.com/29e2qLD.png

There is another one for Ctrl+A elsewhere in the function as well.

Seems these are for when clipboard operations happen, there is other telemetry nearby for when key activity causes a paste: https://i.imgur.com/xONKrGJ.png

So Microsoft are indeed collecting keystroke telemetry in conhost.exe, but it's just some boring old counters to measure clipboard usage.
> Every abbreviation adds to the cognitive load the person has to maintain in their head.

I think your claim that abbreviations are always more cognitive load is wrong. For the sake of argument, let's take it at face value though. These are not even code abbreviations. They are literal translations to the math notation. The input "x" is not an abbreviation, it's a well defined value in neural network terminology.

If they called it something more descriptive like "input_vector_to_first_layer_of_neural_net", this would be more cognitive load because someone reviewing this now needs to mentally map this to "x" in the algorithm anytime they are reviewing both.

Now, to your claim itself, I think it's unfair to say abbreviations are always more cognitive load. These variables are significantly more approachable because they follow convention. I see "x" and I know what that is. If every individual developer went ahead and rewrote every neural net with something they viewed as more interpretable in their personal context, it'd be a lot harder to understand what is going on for everyone. The variable itself may be longer, but I might actually need a prose explanation of the variable's purpose because now I don't have the context of well established naming convention.
Steam has a pretty robust messaging system including multi-user rooms and voice chat, etc. They're directly competing with Discord on that front now. There's groups and communities and other social components as well, though I'm not as familiar with those.

A memory safe one. There are many of them. They could build their own if they chose to - they've built multiple languages in the past.

Picking a language for the Chrome team doesn't seem practical - we all know where your question is going to head.

The point is they have to not pick C++. Again, they've invested many, many millions of dollars into security. Let's not pretend that they're priced out of using another language.

Solve a bug in a calculator app needs telemetry? Jeez. I guess there's no other way. Every bug now needs to be solved with telemetry.
Funny, I specifically avoided putting ANYTHING for salary when I was online dating and making more-than-average. I don't have a control group, so I can't say if I would have "done better" if I had, but I sure didn't have any disappointing experiences with someone looking for a sugar daddy, and I ended up happily married, so there ya go.
Shells like bash do wildcard expansion on tab keystroke. So you type

cat version*.txt

then tab and it expands that into

cat version1.txt version2.txt version3.txt

The same is of course true with any other kind of wildcard like

*.tar.gz

(is that what you mean with reverse tab completion?) And even ranges like "version{1..3}" and much more. Look up http://bash-hackers.org, the ultimate guide for shell globbing and other bash features.
Stopping it from making a base an Antarctica which players can’t invade due to a bug
Why have all the single-use constant strings instead of using the corresponding literals in-place? It’s additional lines of code and doesn't help readability/maintainability (there's already one unused const - EVENT_NAME_HIDE_IF_SHOWN). Additionally, the code mixes string literals with constants:

fields.AddString(L"AddSubtractMode", isAddMode ? L"Add" : L"Subtract");
LogTelemetryEvent(EVENT_NAME_DATE_ADD_SUBTRACT_USED, fields);

But then it doesn't use constants where it might make sense, when a string is used more than once. e.g. the literal string "WindowId" is used a dozen times.

Separately, I question whether anyone looking at the telemetry on the backend. In my experience, developers add this stuff because they think it will be useful, then it never or rarely gets looked at. A telemetry event here, a telemetry event there, pretty soon you're talking real bandwidth.

All of these sorts of features are disabled by default, and only enabled if you enable the privacy.resistFingerprinting setting in about:config (or install an extension that does that). Among normal users, this letterboxing feature especially would upset almost everyone (though not as much as the Tor feature it’s inspired by), so I cannot imagine it ever being enabled by default.

Your comment got me thinking about another issue. The "sorry, I have a boyfriend" excuse would no longer be valid as an easy way to let someone down. With that gone, all that's left is the truth.

Also, I had always viewed the ability to deal with sub-optimal outcomes well as a form of character-building. For example, would you rather be the person who has never encountered/taken the risk of approaching someone who is taken, says no to you, or is just not in the mood to be approached that specific night? I'd much rather be able to deal with those situations gracefully. Similarly, I'd much rather learn to observe body language and everything else to determine which women are indicating certain things non-verbally. The general case of that is reading people and it's a critical life skill.

I think a lot of technology, particularly the stuff surrounding dating, does a lot of harm to society, human interaction, and people's character overall. This is just another one to add to the list for me. I can't tell you how many people who are roughly 10-15 years younger than me have zero skills in talking to the opposite sex. And many have, shockingly, never really been in a scenario where they've had to actually turn on the charm, make an effort, and hold a conversation. This manifests itself in the workplace when we have events, meet clients, go out for drinks, etc. They are duds and have zero personality. It's utterly depressing.
Sleep doesn't really work here as an analogy, because sleep itself is (probably) productive use of our time.

But on the other hand, it might not be as productive as other things we do. And we have alarm clocks to do exactly what you suggest.
And really an emphasis on offense is downright /stupid/. There are several world leading sectors that the US depends on cybersecurity for (design, IT companies, and banking/finance for one). The priorities are exactly backwards - especially when GDP is national power.
