Rails 6 Adds ActiveRecord:Relation#reselect
Yes - reading the post it appears OP's specific value proposition is keeping DRM'd videos in sync. This reminds me of watching Dawson's Creek with my girlfriend in 8th grade - we'd call eachother on the phone and watch the show at the same time. Anyway this would be the browser version of that, from what I understand.
The richest americans are very rich, yes. Most americans aren't rich.
It might just be me, but my USB-C ports were also physically failing. And since this is also the power port, charging up was becoming trickier

Apple replaced them during my update too

I’ve not heard about anyone else having this problem with loose USB-C sockets
I actually discovered recently Gmail has a setting for configuring this behavior over IMAP. But yes, countless times I discovered emails I had deleted on my Windows Phone just got archived silently. I wish their default was to behave like IMAP is supposed to, but my guess is they wanted to err on the side of not deleting data.
Gmail now contains ads within each of the "category" tabs. Ad blockers seem to mostly block them, so that's most likely why you haven't seen anything.
It’s called the manufacturing learning curve, it was discovered in the 1940s relating to WWII aircraft production, and it’s not a special property of semiconductors. Just somehow “Moore’s Law” got popularized in the press.
Youtube has DRM and has nothing to do with WebM. It's just that not all the content is DRM-ed.
Gmail app on Android has ads in the mailbox.
By getting media from "alternative" DRM free sources.
Widevine is a DRM scheme. You need a license and information from Google to decode it without breaking the DRM.
To me, MBPs long ago reached the point where additional thinness provided no utility, or at least, was greatly outweighed by the utility of having more or better ports.
Send this to the @EU_Commission - they might look into it.
I'm gonna guess that there's no significant impact on the kinetic energy of the river very far downstream. There's constant resistance and it's at a relatively low speed. Think of how quickly the river wouldn't be a river anymore if gravity suddenly ceased - it's virtually all potential energy being converted and lost to the surrounding environment and turbulence constantly. I would bet a lot of money that if you measured the kinetic energy in Oregon, you would find no statistical significance before and after a dam is built in Idaho.
I've never owned a MacBook but I've been thinking of buying one over the last year. This single issue has prevented me from making the purchase. I can't help but think how upset I would be if I bought a MacBook and they improved the keyboard several months later.
let's address the elephant in the room.

Google got the authority from everyone here who accepted chrome and IE DRM by default, to the point that even Firefox was forced to give in, so you all could be sedated by Netflix and other DRMed content.
a VM maybe?

I don’t think they should be. _That_ is a land use problem.
Computer science in general is conference-oriented, and even more so in security. It makes sense, simply because by the time you get published in a journal, the state-of-the-art would have likely already moved forward. So it follows that the state-of-the-art work is centered around conferences. In CS at least, journal articles are used to meet the "requirements" for faculty positions and/or promotions (e.g., 5 journal papers).

On the other hand, in EE, journals are more prestigious in general, partly due to the slower-moving nature of the field. A 9-12 month wait to get your article into a journal is not a huge deal. Further, a journal article typically shows more "complete" work than a conference article would, because it usually takes much more time to fully validate your work (relative to CS, for example).

For instance, if you're presenting a novel low-power circuit, you could get away with a simulation and/or a hastily taped-out version for the conference paper (ISSCC is the top conference for this). But publishing your results in a high impact journal like JSSC will require that you have a fully tested version, etc.

WalmartLabs | Software Engineering (Clojure) | SF or REMOTE | FULL TIME

We're a small close-knit team backed by big company resources. We write mission-critical, robust software that's used by millions of Walmart's customers daily.

Our suite of software includes but is certainly not limited to:

- a large distributed system that processes all store transactions from every Walmart and Sam's Club store in the US. If you've ever used Walmart Pay, this is how you get your receipt!

- a massive GraphQL service that powers all customer purchase & returns history for all platforms (written using our own open-source GraphQL implementation for Clojure: https://github.com/walmartlabs/lacinia). We roll out new marquee customer-facing features in this service almost weekly: everything from tire installation services to bakery orders to propane tanks.

- services to allow customers to manage and purchase care plans

- push notifications

Our tech stack is: Clojure (for everything!), GraphQL, Cassandra, Kafka, Redis, Prometheus, Ruby (for some infrastructure tasks)

Here's a few things we value that you should have:

- A self-starter, curious, and DIY attitude. A lot of our bedrock technology is home-grown and written to solve our own unique Walmart-scale problems. One of the engineers on our team wrote an entire Clojure dialect (https://github.com/candid82/joker/), and scripts written in that language now do a lot of heavy lifting of our own infrastructure.

- A good intuition for writing code that won't fall over under pressure and handles failure states well. We deploy daily and a null pointer might impact millions of requests in a few minutes.

- An interest in doing DevOps-y stuff and a high expectation in good monitoring. We have full ownership of the life-cycle of our code and the servers it runs on.

- The ability to think and work in functional languages (Clojure)

- Experience writing distributed systems with a lot of message passing

If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out to bcarrell@walmart.com and say hello.
I am hopeful the same way you are. But nobody should ignore the fact that current developments in solar panel prices were heavily driven by government policy. Unguided market forces may get there eventually, but we don't have enough time for "eventually". (And we certainly don't have any time for misguided plans that actually try to subsidize carbon emissions, which is a big chunk of our current policy.)
i got used to it pretty quick and actually prefer it now
I wonder what the latency of low quality products is? Apple wouldn't be the first company to go through this - I can think of car and clothing manufacturers which were known for quality only to abuse their reputation and eventually lose sales, sometimes catastrophically. I wonder if there's some B-school stats or case studies which show how long customers are willing to give a business the benefit of the doubt and continue to buy products based on a company's old reputation before their new reputation takes over and sales drop?

Why don't they get it?
This is why I break DRM when I can, treating its presence as advisory at best.

From a balancing test standpoint, if you want a technological solution to people copying your work then I think you should not be allowed to claim copyright protection of your work. Pick a legal or technical solution to unauthorized copying, not both.

There are a full complement of problems that have nothing to do with other people. For example, imagine never being able to rest your mind again, no matter how intense the leisure, no matter how strong the intoxicants, no matter how tiring your thoughts. Sleep isn’t restful either. Most people would crack in 30 days or less.
> it's Google subsidized free existence killed the market for alternatives

Did it? IIRC, there were at least six decent alternatives available when Reader closed. More if you count desktop and mobile applications.
Google as a company is worth almost $1T. It's hard to argue that's the wrong approach when they are so ridiculously successful.
"we are more open and free" - There is nothing dishonest about that. What we are seeing is companies trying out different business models and seeing what works. I can respect that.

As an end user, if you care about free software- this is good news. Instead of having different "Enterprise" and artificially handicapped "open-source" edition, we get to see everything out in the open. The secret sauce is now limited to the release process. They say openly that if you need to, fork them and create your own releases - yeah go for the "knockoffs" if you can trust them - or else try the branded (Chef) product.

MongoDB got a lot of flak for misappropriating the name "open source". What Chef is doing is IMHO more clear and honest. They need to make money too.
Because consumers want it. Consumers used to pay 50 cents for a cup of coffee. Now they pay $5. That didn't happen because of government nudging. It happened because a different demand was created.
> but in general eating fresh things closer to nature

I like to think in terms of "level 1" and "level 2" food.

* Level 1 is things that come from the ground/water (salt), grow from the ground/water (vegetables, etc.), or come from things eat things that grow from the ground/water (egg, fish, etc.).

* Level 2 is recipes made from level 1 stuff.
We are currently in the process of checking if we can find disease signatures in easier to access tissue like blood
I have a 2011 MBP too. It's basically retired to desktop-only status, due to a dying keyboard (which had a good life, I'm not complaining) and a dying hinge. I don't want to risk $3000 on another Macbook that might be nothing but grief. I've had three different CPU-intensive things trapping me on the platform - programming, photo editing (Lightroom mostly), and recording/mixing music. But Lightroom and reasonable music DAW solutions are available on the iPad now, and they no longer feel like compromises. And programming? Just push the heavy lifting into the cloud.

Sometime in the near future, I'm just cutting over to an iPad for the majority of my work, I think.

It WAS! Thank you.

I sure hope the community can be revived.

There's a lot more bandwidth and cheap storage today than 10 years ago. I'd love to be able to contribute and share to it.
climbing walls or being stuck in the wilderness with a bike don't sound like fun at all. pointless. I don't think your suggestion is helpful for people that have depression. The metal working suggestion from parent is far more helpful, as you are actually making something.
Thanks.

It's going well! Hope to have what's next sorted this week :) Stay tuned!
Yes, you need Google's approval because now all major browsers have a black-box/binary blob which downloads other funky binary stuff so that it can decrypt video content. As you might figure out Google/Wildevine org gives the blackbox only to approved developers/devices/applications.

Bonus DRM: If your license is not "the most certified" your browser/player will play only shitty/low quality versions of the video. There are other goodies of course like not being able to play the content offline.
I rolled my eyes when I saw the new airs released with a tactile keyboard with touch ID. Like this is the keyboard I want. Why are you preventing your pro consumers from owning the best keyboard you produce?

Also it seems like an admission of defeat on the touchbar. I don't see how adoption would ever happen if the only people with access to this hardware spent 2K+ on their device.
My £400 Dell Latitude is 5 years old, gets 12 hours of use a day and is dragged through some very dusty, dirty environments on a daily basis. All the keys are working.

If you make a consumer product that can't withstand basic consumer use then you're doing something wrong.
Maybe Apple doesn't really care that much about the Mac. The iPhone ate the company. They're a mobile phone and services company now. Macs are an afterthought.
The words "One Day" are very important to the title.
It is in the article:

One TimeMachine server or disk can be used by multiple computers. TM distinguish between them using computer name (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer Name.) If your computer came back with a different computer name then TM would show you no backups for this machine.
I mean it doesn't really "make" them in a demeaning way, it's just a goofy tradition.
No, if the Director had overridden the majority of the membership, the browser vendors would've shipped something anyway, and the YouTubes and Netflixes of the world would be using it anyway.

I wonder if all those anecdotes are placebo. The authors of this meta-analysis have links to rehabilitation and physiotherapy departments; so I'm not sure I see it as an exactly unbiased analysis. Unless it is clinical depression I find it hard to believe that someone can address their depression with mere physical movements without looking into the mental and emotional causes of it.
The W3C exists partly to take the blame off of its members for the decisions that they agree to unanimously. Blame the W3C members for their decision to screw the user.

You did an amazing job coming up the adaptive immune system and the research we’ve done. I am surprised that our approach worked. There must be some common signature shared among a subset of immune receptors between patients with the same cancer type. This is surprising because each cancer patients mutations are probably unique

The Widevine CDM is publicly available but you are not allowed to redistribute it. Firefox seems to have no problem downloading it at runtime. In worst case the user could manually download it.
Playing devil's advocate, I think some lawyer got nervous about the licensed stuff in those games.

The FIFA games usually have licenses to use the teams and player names. and lots of licensed music.
I've acquired media from "the usual places" for which I own the physical disc because it's easier and faster than handbraking it myself.
Why did they replace the SSD because of the keyboard? And did they give a warning about that?
I have been following this thread all day, hoping for some additional discussion. It seems that won't happen, too bad. My $0.02:

To quote Edison: "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration". The article explains Mathilde's approach. I'm impressed with her rigorousness and consistency. It's a great way to build trust both internally and externally.

Building something (anything) from scratch to _really_ complete is an exercise in persistence. Being in the same boat right now, I admire her for what she's doing and how she's doing it.

Yes, I was a kid in the 1970s and the anti-littering campaign was pervasive. I was too young to remember/notice the litter itself, but definitely remember the "Crying Indian" commercial, Woodsy Owl[1], and others. You always saw these in the Saturday morning cartoons, in particular.

You could argue that youtube's rate of innovation is low. But when it was launched it was Flash-based sub-10-minute low-resolution prerecorded videos that paid creators nothing, and so on.

Now it supports long videos, 4k, streaming, html5¹, pays content creators enough there are a bunch of them doing it full time², has an ad-free premium option, it isn't at war with music labels, and it hasn't been bankrupted by bandwidth costs.

Seems a fairly good track record to me.

¹ Arguably Youtube was one of the big forces getting decently working video out of flash and into browsers. Along with Apple refusing to ship Flash on iOS, that is!

² Admittedly at the whim of fickle algorithms, so not the best financial security there
Moore's law was always partly an economic phenomena - that companies figured things would improve by x per year and so invested accordingly to keep up with their competitors. I imagine something similar will happen with batteries. It relies on there being a lot of demand to fund the investment but I think that will be the case here - indeed battery spend per year will probably pick up as they become more practical for cars and grid use. These things can end or morph as you hit limits from the laws of physics as is happening with Moore's law but there seems a way to go with batteries.
1. No-one asked for wolfram to explain why they aren't open source.
2. It's basically a slap in the face to the FOSS community.

I think it's just part of the angry death throws of a dying company. With sympy, mathics, sage, etc - why use mathematica?
9 times out of 10, they seem to don't mind.

I know no Amazon vendor in China that doesn't deal with random closures by just reopening the account, and often with the same credentials.
He can’t—or, rather, he can’t provide any scientific sources to support his false claim—but a 10-second search on google for some combination of the words “female”, “male”, “infants”, “study”, “preferences”, “toys”, etc will yield an entire literature that lends extremely strong support to the (already obvious) proposition that men and women are—gasp!-innately different. Proceed at your own risk (that is, risk to your feel-good, false beliefs).
So it has been 5 years since 2019 and they still haven't fixed the synch problem (in my experience). That doesn't bode well for the product as a whole I would think.
What a ckickbaity title for the times and what a strange way to talk about a new medical discovery.

Is there some kind of secretive cabal that decides who gets drugs? Yeah the price will be high at first very likely and if there is huge demand and an efficient way to produce it that price will likely come way down.

Why does everything have to be some kind of unfairness conspiracy?
It feels like a move which was completely born out of the business side of the company. Like: how can we make it more expensive to own one of our keyboards? What if it were destroyed by dust and had an OLED display built in?

There's no chance for the touchbar to get developer attention if only people who were able to drop 2K+ on a laptop in the past couple years have access to one.
I'd love to see more work in 32-96kbit range which is where discord and other voice chats operate but with opus i guess we're at the point where the consumer hardware is becoming a problem and microphones on headsets are just not good enough anymore and high quality mics are still ridiculously expensive for whatever reason.
> Firefox doesn't support this.

Firefox does support either exactly this or something compatible.

I had a MBP in 2017, and then—unsurprisingly—the keyboard began to have issues. I didn't even bother asking Apple for a fix; I knew the new keyboard would have issues as well.

Instead, I got myself a reliable upper-tier ThinkPad for 2/3rds the price of a MBP (and superior hardware), installed GNU/Linux on it, and now I'm living happily ever after.

I don't know if I could go back to a MBP after this, honestly. The ThinkPad is spill-proof, sturdy, has an _excellent_ keyboard, and is pretty much the anti-MBP in every way. And it's been a dream.

This keyboard issue _is_ way worse than Apple thinks. It caused longtime customers (myself included) to entertain the thought of leaving the Apple ecosystem. And speaking for myself, I haven't looked back.
But you don't really know if the new co is trying to "fairly compensate" you if the old co is now offering significantly more? Did you think your salary was fair when you joined old co? You probably did.
That's not harsh, it's realistic; thanks.

The conversation is probably mostly a part of the field of Positive Psychology and Meaning in Work literature, a summary of which I cite (Martela and Steger); however, when researching the field (I probably read about 50 academic articles), I didn't see any discussion about value theory (in the realm of philosophy). I have a connection to one of the researchers and maybe I can reach out to start the conversation.
I'm guessing you've never seen an office kitchen where people are expected to pick up after themselves, or keep the fridge clean.

Release of Fedora 30 Beta
Essentially. The money gated behind a closed DRM solution is so large that the w3c ran the risk of becoming an irrelevant standards body for this space if they didn't comply with what their members wanted to do.

It's sub-optimal, but I don't think an optimal solution actually existed. A standards board divorced from reality is no better than no standard at all.
