Let's say Google Maps then. It will show up in search results, artificially at the top because of close integration, but performs incredibly poorly. I can't take their claims about AMP being about performance seriously when they do not seem to make any attempt at optimizing the stuff that they put on top.
How are you OK storing your notes in a cloud system where your notes are viewable by third parties? How do you get past Evernote not supporting end to end encryption? This has been the dealbreaker for me since the beginning.
The article makes the point that despite human trials originally, and later one-cell zebrafish embryo tests, no sign of carcinogenesis was detected. They further explain that given its limited range within the body, it only impacting damaged tissue and the short period of time it would be used, it’s unlikely to be carcinogenic.

I know you're joking. That said, they're planning to use RCS, a successor of SMS. I guess the users will be expected to pay for each message or to buy a package. I also don't expect to be able to send from a web site, unless my phone is active and the message can be sent through it.

Just no. I'd rather use even WhatsApp than that.
Nah, it's a DRM thing. You get 4k if you open it in edge with their PlayReady DRM.
Mostly they no longer were the near monopoly and CN was not aired as widely. It is harder to sell a whole station then a few shows. WB tended to sell separately their own only. (E.g. Bugs, Daffy, Looney Tunes)

HB ones were exclusives.

What about transformative works?

Disney was built on public domain stories after all.
She's currently out on $500,000 bail while the criminal charges against her proceed, but prison time is at issue with the charges.
I mean, the point actually raised in the article is about making the code agnostic to where that data lives. Leveraging plain ol' Unix pipes is pretty hard to beat in that regard. The article doesn't really provide much of an alternative to the actual sharing of the data itself beyond just sticking it in Dropbox.

And of course, an stdio-based approach works perfectly fine for Dropbox:

$ cd ~/Dropbox/csv/data/folder && process-csv <in.csv >out.csv

Or for S3:

$ s3fs my-bucket ~/mnt/my-bucket # macOS has FUSE support, right?
$ cd ~/mnt/my-bucket/csv/data/folder
$ process-csv <in.csv >out.csv

Or for pretty much any other filesharing service that provides a folder on the filesystem, really.
The underlying concept of React is so intuitive that I would hope that browsers provide a native implementation. Use a `<script language="jsx" />` tag or something so you still have the old fashioned API.
I’m not sure I understand this perspective. If I’m making 100k, and I could be making 150k by being promoted, while working on interesting new things at the same time (regardless of success), then that is what I would be doing.

Little point in sticking at 100k my whole career for some misplaced sense of honor.

After I wrote my reply I reflected that in this case MS is actively, directly depriving you of access to the your content, a required component of theft, but IMO if a refund is issued before access is revoked then the requirmemts for theft still seem unmet. I also feel customers should be free to circumvent DRM technologies... which would allow the market to help mitigate this type of decieptful, manipulative licensing of content.

Seems pretty shitty to not refund the device purchases though.
It's fun once then mostly just annoying (unless you are a smoker I guess). There is, or at least used to be, another train ferry between Trelleborg and Sassnitz as well.
I have the same thing in my Safari with 1Blocker. Also built-in on system level and doesn't even download blocked stuff.
And the national train operators are being challenged on their own turf by open-access operators. The days of sleepers are probably numbered in this part of the Europe. Wagons with convertible benches are uncomfortable both for sitting and sleeping. They're utterly uncompetitive vis-a-vis reclinable seats deployed by operators like Leo Express. Perhaps one day they'll start putting lie-flat recliners used in airliners on trains one day. That's more economical--and flexible--than having separate rooms.

P.S. Polski Bus has been absorbed into Flixbus.

No, haven't seen anything. Everything looks like a hammer, of course, but to me this just feels like a general software engineering thing, if that makes sense -- building an abstraction on top of a library service. Our plan is to evolve the plans literal in our code into this abstraction (it already kind of is). Next step is probably to add something a little like feature flags, but we're still thinking this through.

And it's all utter crap. Power corrupts. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance etc etc.

Leninist states have consistently always been massively more corrupt than democracies because there is absolutely nothing you can do about the corruption.

Stronger anti-corruption measures are possible in democracy, they are not in facist and totalitarian states which every single leninist, marxist and maoist idealogically blinded government becomes very, very rapidly on taking power. Remember the time those holding the power in a communist state got "voted out" resulting in them losing that power? Neither does anyone else, but quite a few have heard tanks coming. But Stalin wasn't a corporation, right?

I think you'd be surprised how often small problems can occur on planes. They all have _potentially_ huge severity, but none of them have huge consequences because they are expected problems that pilots are trained to respond to.
This doesn’t work on iOS safari?
I seem to be deep in this type of problem on a project. I see they opted to use multiple content editable sections. This means that using the up arrow keys, when going between the sections the cursor jumps to the start of the block, then the last line of the preceding block. It's an interesting trade of than to use one large contenteditable section.
I think it really depends on the situation. Low level functionality (eg payments api) is more generic than high level functionality (billing cycles, dashboards, handling failed payments, etc) and therefore more likely to have a solution which will completely solve your problem.
Not everyone uses Lisp ;)
...but seriously... I think I still remember my "license plate" number for prodigy.net, which I think was 7 digits alpahnumeric. I've very occasionally searched for it thinking there was maybe an archive or footprints from "those days" but nothing has ever come up.

Quite literally the transition of physical paper => digital forums => internet (pre-crawlers/pre-archive) => where the data could have been lost before it had a chance to be "modernized".
Our experience is that manual invoices are charged right away. I wonder what's different about our setups? The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is webhooks that aren't responding, which would delay the invoice closing. But I think that would make the delay 72 hours, rather than 24.

> EN is a knowledge database.

Isn't that just a fancy way of searching notes? Seems like full text search and/or a wiki linking interface is most of that functionality.

It's a hard problem; I don't mean to demean the work of the people on the product. But notes apps have been more or less the same for 30-40 years now barring features like OCR that I'd never use: the main difference is that you pay to sync them somewhere.
I’ve been using Evernote since it came out and have about 19,000 notes in it. They’ve been slow going at adding new features or at least making it super stable and it’s starting to feel dated.

I’d like to see: ability to put tags to sections of other notes, ability to put links to notebooks within a note, collapsible/expandable text blocks, recurring reminders, Apple Pencil support for iPad where you can freehand draw instead of having to import from Notability/Goodnotes, quicker access to text colors on mobile and desktop.

I’ve tried all the competitors and keep reluctantly coming back to EN. Notability was the one I liked the best, but it is super slow and it can’t be used offline on mobile.
Evernote has gotten a lot better on iOS in the last year and I’m still paying to use it until something better comes along, which I don’t anticipate will be long. I hope they step it up.
Facebook Asking for Some New Users' Email Passwords
How can we not?

A new paper in my field recently came out regarding how to reduce patient reliance on a particular med, with possibly better results for the patient. The paper had data to back this up.

I couldn’t get it through my institutional subscription. I got it in 5 minutes through sci-hub.

Why a tax-paying patient shouldn’t get up to date care from their tax paying physician through data gathered and analyzed via their tax dollars is baffling.

I wish license selection was mandatory. A massive amount of projects have no license at all.
My understanding of node's birth and rapid rise was that it was "backend tooling for frontend-devs" - suddenly it gave the front-end teams the power they needed to launch quickly using what they knew.

I've been looking for quite some time for "front-end tooling for back-end devs" without success - there are some great frameworks like Postgrest or Hasura which take you from Database through to API interface, but then you're faced with raw Javascript and all that pain synchronising browser state with the API via a web-worker. My attempts to use Vue & React have just resulted in the exchange of one kind of complexity (raw Javascript state change) with another (learning the framework).

I'm all ears, if anyone has used anything (framework, IDE, WYSIWYG editor, some SAAS app, anything) that simplifies the journey from OpenAPI spec to a webpage with a UI that changes as the API returns things.

Oh sure, this agrees with the "tightly regulated" constraint. Short time, localized application/expression qualify. I'm not sure that long term exposure would be good, and in reference to BPC-157 let's not forget that intestinal cancers do occur (though I'm not at all sure if there's ever been a link between BPC-157 and intestinal cancer).

It's great that the compound looks safe given the limited amount of information we have, but it sounds like there's not a whole lot of trials out there with the power to test the possibility that this could be cancerous long term. Happy to be proven wrong though!
Language popularity has little to do with language semantics, and everything to do with runtime support.

JavaScript is the world's most popular language. Why? The web browser became the most popular application runtime in the world, and the only language supported by the browser natively for those applications is JavaScript.

Why is C the dominant language for systems programming? Because all operating systems used by the entire world are built on C.

If we were using Lisp machines everyone would be using Lisp. If browsers used a Haskell API instead of JavaScript API then we'd all be using Haskell.

There's more overlap than I would've suspected - a lot of the Director/VP types that I saw Google hire from the outside (as opposed to promote from within) were folks who had previously founded a company, sometimes up to 4 companies.

The problem with Airbnb is that it transfers the cost of the increased traffic to the other residents. Some party asshat barfs in the lobby sofa and everyone in the building has to pay for that.

Remember the initial human trials were using it systemically to control blood sugar, and specifically looked for carcinogenesis. Obviously there’s room for something to have been overlooked, but in the narrow case of this particular molecule I’d be hopeful. As for BPC-157 we’re very much on the same page, and I’d be very concerned about cancer.

What "brand?" They sought to dilute it by creating Alphabet, then continued a habit of unreliability in everything that could be said to support their "brand."

If you look at Google/Alphabet, they are a search engine, gmail/gdocs, and somewhat of a device maker. Everything else might be killed off today. Or not. Who knows? Certainly none of us. Regardless, they survive as long as they do as the gadgets that they started as during somebody's 20% time or pre-acquisition ramen-startup era. Might as well be toys.

Why do we keep seeing posts like this? My team absolutely needs React/Redux/Sagas/Webpack/whatever-you-want-to-hate-on-today, to ship and yeah we ship our backend with Docker. Why do I know we need it? Because we have years of experience in our workflow and we understand the problems we need to solve in the development workflow and timeline our company uses. Do you know who doesn't understand our needs? Someone writing a low-quality post about how _their_ specific needs can be met with existing technology. Please just leave me be and go focus on solving your own problems, I wouldn't be using this technology if I didn't think it worked better than anything else.

Don't overgeneralize. The featured article (simulation, really) is about bunching of buses on the same route, a phenomenon that I, a daily bus commuter in Los Angeles, USA, routinely witness.

Stops on the routes I take are also generally skipped unless someone is waiting at them or a passenger has pulled the cord/pressed the button to request a stop.
Once, in an open office / bullpen space, someone was getting fired. I guess they thought it was going to be bad, so most of the managers were notified up front.

Our lead said "let's go get some ice cream."

I replied: "no I'm good."

Lead: "No you really want some ice cream. Come on."

We later watched from a bridge in the atrium as said fired person was carrying their box through, and we all understood what happened. Now that phrase carries fear every time I hear it, no matter how ridiculous it seems.

Talk about past management fears imprinted on you for years to come.
Kibana can do visualizations of distributions with elastic data. I agree it is the best way to get a clear picture of latency and other metrics within a period of time.

I think percentiles over time, given consistent sample sizes per bucket, can be good for understanding change over time.

In general I think of histograms for these sort of metrics providing higher fidelity of value, where as stats over time can provide higher fidelity of time (for roughly the same storage).

Animating the distribution over time can be pretty neat, but not common feature in my space (but can be done with a little R code).

I imagine 3 axis (3d) histograms over time can make some neat visualizations but have never experimented with that, and would probably want to slice or rotate the plot. More common are heatmaps where the darkness of the color is your third axis. Kind of like viewing the 3d plot of histograms over time from above where the cubes are partly transparent and get darker the deeper they are.

I pay for 4k netflix but can't watch it on my computer because of drm. On Chrome it only streams up to 720p, and I have to use Edge for 1080p. To stream 4k you need to use their microsoft store app, a specific high-end processor or graphics card, and on top of that you also need a monitor that supports hdcp 2.2. I have all of the above (1080ti and hdcp 2.2 compliant monitor) but still can't stream 4k because my second monitor is not hdcp 2.2 compliant. The monitor states that it is but I couldn't get it to work even after extensive research. All of my setup is pretty modern and high-end and I still can't stream 4k netflix because drm hardware keeps evolving. If this is supposed to make me pirate less, it's not very effective.

Hardly; it'll just be a transfer from VCs with too much money to everyone else in the economy. We could probably use more of that.
where did you guess 3% from? even with 4 founders and series D, is that realistic or a bit low?
It would be horrible if the slow bus behind was actually too full to pick up people so you have an empty bus passing stops that the trailing bus will also skip!
Ah yes, but then who controls those servers? A lot of people think that US Government agents own enough TOR nodes to de-anonymize.
I am not overgeneralizing. I am mentioning every use case!

The stops are skipped because no one wants to get out of the bus and there is no one to board it. It has nothing to do with bus bunching.

Here in downtown Vancouver, there are some stops that have 5 different numbered buses making stop. Can they just skip ahead because there are a couple of buses already there at the stop?

To really make this works will have to check
1. Is the bus stopped in front of me the same numbered bus?
2. Does it have enough seats to board people that have lined up?

If yes then lets just not stop.
