I had the same issue with my MacBook Air with the exact specs, though I never dropped mine. Just shut it off one night after watching Thrones for a few hours and it never turned back. Pleaded with Apple for quite a while to see if they would replace the logic board due to defect, but they did not. Mine was purchased in May 2013 and dead Nov 2014. Finally broke down a couple of years ago and bought a low end I3, with 4gb of ram logic board and it's working again. Guess I would have tried this as well had i known it was an option at the time :)
Does anyone ever try to address these issues with a soldering iron? I assume these machine soldered boards have connections too fine or too inaccessible to solder individual connections. But if you are trying something as crude as baking the board.. maybe there is some way?
Just use half the sugar you usually use and go from there. Your taste will adjust and then you can half it again. If you get as far as one molecule or less of sugar, STOP!

I said "Note I mean proven correct, proven to do exactly as specified, not just proven to lack certain classes of bugs.". Model checkers don't prove functional correctness, they just prove the absence of certain kinds of bugs. Sure, if you don't care about correctness model checkers are great, but if you do care about proving a program does exactly as specified then you'll have a much easier time with a functional language.
Agreed. Even Netflix nowadays feels like just another traditional TV channel.
It was React. React made it so that you could outsource your markup to libraries, and the community adopted the mindset enthusiastically. Along with that was a focus on composability over what actually gets produced.

React has always been about making an abstraction layer of its own; to remove focus away from the underlying platform. A metaplatform, if you will. That explains the problems described in this article, it explains the desire for CSS-in-JS (which despite arguments for, is only popular in React and no where else).

So what we've wound up with is a generation of developers who are really good at the lego-block building aspects that React provide (which are valuable) but know next to nothing about HTML or CSS.
I too think there will be a lot of people producing whitelabel contentId clones. I mean, it's a potentially good business.
But it won't be easy to do, as people will still need to convince copyright holders to play with it, much like it took decades for something like spotify to emerge.

Anyway: the law will stay unclear for years, won't it?

This is a directive, which means each EU country will need to implement it through a local law, and then they will still be free to implement it the way they want it (unlike GDPR, which is a regulation).
I remember doing this in a bar at 2am to one of those electronic paper towel dispensers. They work great, except when they don’t (which is most of the time).

IIFYM may very well work for some individuals, as my post said: "be aware of what you eat and what your body needs". And junk food can fulfil the needs of very active individuals. But be careful when adapting diets from individuals with high amount of physical activity to someone with a sedentary job. This gets even more relevant, if recreational lifting isn't possible, as in OP's case.
Thank you.

How will the EU enforce that? Will they obscure any website that don't implement filters?
It's not malice against another browser to build for where the users are. When the users were on IE and Firefox, Google built for those platforms, ignoring e.g. Konqueror or Opera. Now that the users are on Chrome, Google can ignore Firefox. Each product team can independently decide that the best thing to help the most people is to work on more features for 1 browser rather than fewer features for several browsers.
Perhaps one part curation, two parts crowd source and three parts algorithm? I don't think you can entirely automate this because there are nuances and issues of categorization.

I'd like to see it user/community driven. A user generates a topic and one headline. Then other users and the algorithm add headlines to the topic. And if there are two similar topics, it would require a curator intervention to join the topics.

Also, "sourcing + hashing" the articles and headlines so that you can see a "diff" of the articles and headlines in case the media companies change or alter the articles/headlines without informing their customers would be nice.

But if anyone tried this, I'm sure the media companies would attack the startup and of course with the new EU copyright laws, it might open the startup to lawsuits or takedown requests. Not to mention many countries might simply ban it outright.
Why? What is the threat model? Doesn't make much sense in case of a terrorist attack or natural disaster. With modern warfare they are becoming less valuable.
When I did spend a little amount of time trying to learn TLA+, the biggest annoyance is the two different syntax/form in which TLA+ can be written, a mathematical symbolic form, and a text form like a program.

Now, this topic is a rather abstract and difficult to comprehend one, and having two equivalent ways of doing it, introduced right from the beginning, I thought was too much of a cognitive load, considering the difficulty of the subject.

I hope this material from the article is simpler for learners.

It's like writing a raytracer or ray-casting engine, it's not particularly useful but it's pretty fun and it can learn quite a lot while doing it.

In the case of emulators I suspect that many developers nowadays never went underneath the syscall layer (or even beyond the interpreter) so if they're interested to learn about how it all works deep down it can be a good challenge. Of course the GameBoy is archaic in most ways but it's a start.

These are valid concerns and fortunately there are already examples of potential solutions being developed:

Not saying this specific framework is going to be a success, but so far it both:

- Is mostly "batteries included".

- Indeed does create pretty small bundles.
1/3 sugar and 2/3 stevia or Splenda.

Artificial sweeteners (including stevia) have a tasteable "bite" to them which I don't like. Using a bit of sugar helps smooth out the bite while the bulk of the sweetness is provided by the sweetener.
That's commonplace.
They actually are not so required. This is often thought to be true but is very wrong.

The only thing that happens if they say no is that they may be held liable later if the content is found to be infringing. So in a case like this, which is nonsense, they could just say "no" without any fear because nobody is going to find it infringing in court.

(This will likely surprise people or generate snarky responses, but oh well)
Back when we had code.google.com, the DMCA team at Google used to spend a tremendous amount of energy and time evaluating requests to understand whether they were reasonable/made sense, because code.google.com got a lot of baseless requests to remove content.

Google said no to a large number of baseless removals.

Twitter could do the same here.

They might have antimony, bismuth, or cadmium. All are toxic. Also, many other components on the board could include God-knows-what.

> During breaks you can go home as well

Not always true. In the US, you can be required to stay on premises, but it must be paid.
Right, but it also seems irresponsible to completely ignore an obvious revenue opportunity where it exists. IMO with proper branding as some type of "Give back" tax on successful graduates, it wouldn't need to be close to break even, and could help the program grow.
There were serious problems with unstable combustion causing the motor to break up, that were fixed by putting baffles on the injector plate to divide up the volume, where the combustion started, into smaller independent regions [1]. Once it was running smoothly, the engineers were still concerned that it might be on the edge of instability, so they ran some tests in which a small explosive charge was detonated in the combustion chamber of a running motor, to check that it settled down to running smoothly afterwards.

I think the incentives to not support accessibility/minority platforms grows as the number of users grow, since the potential benefit of the features you would not implement because you have to work on a11y or Firefox support is multiplied by your number of users.
Great DD, loading up on AMD calls.

Thanks!
Would a heat gun and an infrared thermometer perhaps be better - don't know if you risk blowing the components off the board though. Maybe on a lower setting.
Read the full interview. Netscape was owned by AOL back then and the motivation for Gecko was to have an HTML engine that could be embedded in AOL's software. Firefox was just one browser based on that engine, but became the primary focus once its popularity rose.

Camino was another browser based on Gecko, but died in 2011 when Mozilla killed off support for embedding:

And that is an interesting experiment and perhaps a worthy goal, but having used Swift for a few years now, I don't think they succeeded at this. I'd say it demonstrated that "progressive disclosure" may be a great concept for games, or apps, but there's just way too much difference between someone new to programming and a professional programmer for a language to cover all these cases. Apple doesn't even have a non-pro Final Cut any more.

Even in my first few days, having read Apple's Swift documentation, I had to continuously resort to StackOverflow for answers, which frequently sent me to the language grammar (which had many mistakes in it, and I think still does), and the Swift bug tracker. The inflection point on the learning curve is right after "hello world", which makes for great demos, but that's it.

Personally, I think even Common Lisp does a better job at progressive disclosure. There's huge areas of CL that you can simply ignore. I worked in CL for years before I bothered to learn about conditions, special variables, or 90% of LOOP's features. In Swift, almost right away I had to read everything related to errors. You can't ignore it, except in the simplest program.

I studied generics in college, as part of my data structures class, or maybe my compilers class. I've watched Alexis Gallagher's "PATs" video at least 3 or 4 times. I still don't understand Swift generics. Or maybe I understand what tools are provided, but I don't understand why you'd build (or want) a tool that makes it so hard to, say, define a new type with an "isEqual" method to determine if it's the same as another.

Every Swift programmer hits the "protocol can only be used as a generic constraint" phase pretty quick. My complaint with Swift generics was never that they're too simple. It would be great if this were just a corner that PL/type-system geeks could geek out on, but it's an area that you can't ignore.

Sure, but the article doesn't seem to argue that this complaint was so obviously frivolous that Twitter should have ignored it. (It doesn't really complain about Twitter at all, only Starz.)
I'm not some perfect-family lifestyle vlogger with an immaculately clean home in the background, but what you described sounds perfectly healthy. Sure he'll tantrum when you take it away. Toddlers will do that with anything. My son will burst into tears if I take away the ball he was holding when it's time to go to bed (because then he'll throw it out of the crib in the middle of the night and, surprise, burst into tears).

Keep it up. If your kid is happy you're doing a good job.

Then we should also mention that human color vision changes depending on light levels, with us being more sensitive to some colors than others. So when you over-expose an image you aren't just making it brighter but changing the ratios of perceived colors. (A big deal for eye witness reports of crime at night.) At very low levels our vision becomes essentially black and white.

> I wonder if there is a common mindset that the majority of web developers have which causes them to love overcomplexity so much;

This is, in turn, is a weird mindset. Are you suggesting that web developers are somehow unique in the software development space? Here's a hint: they aren't. The problems that web developers have to solve are relatively unique to the platform. When is 1MB of code a lot? This is not amount of code written, this is amount of code used. In python, it is not uncommon to import a library like `numpy` which will easily clock in 20+ MB for one library. Why don't people care about python dependency bloat? Because it doesn't have to be downloaded over HTTP like javascript. That is a unique feature of web development. What do you think would happen if developers around the world started complaining about using `numpy`? It's the same thing with libraries like `react`: they have no credibility because `react` is useful. It has nothing to do with web developer mindset, everyone wants to bring in libraries that make their lives easier.

I've been following TEPCOs media site casually for years. They actually used to have a really great media site showing the latest work being done on decommissioning but its gotten more and more closed off over the years as people care less and less. They used to post these really cool PDFs with technical detail.

https://www4.tepco.co.jp/en/news/library/archive-e.html

For example, the video referenced in the news article is the first video on the TEPCO archive. Worth a watch, the screenshot really doesn't do it justice.

They still post media, but it tends to be more PR stuff of complete work rather than ongoing work.

Here is another cool video :

>you'll see that almost all of them put their API requests and business logic inside component lifecycle methods

Edit: (I rephrased this post) I understand that logic often makes sense to break out between presentational and container components, and I understand that sometimes api / service calls should be broken out into their own files, but everything I've read states that api logic should be called from ComponentDidMount.... you are saying that you shouldn't make api calls, from component lifecycle methods whatsoever?

I'm not sure what the alternative is?
> YouTube will be fine. It's big enough to implement enough tech that they can say they're doing what they can. In fact, they've probably had enough there for years.

Youtube can't even proactively moderate its platform now, its always moving after a media outlet writes a hit piece. Even when they do react their solutions are ham-fisted at best.

I'm starting to think these companies (youtube/facebook ect) are simply too large and traditional economies of scale don't actually work in the way they do for non-tech businesses.
"The DMCA process allows us to send a counterclaim, explaining that the tweet is not infringement and directing Twitter to restore the tweet, barring a copyright infringement lawsuit being filed by Starz. We have done so."

That's all? They can't sue Starz for being idiots?
Freedom of speech and individual liberty are absolutely moral and ethical values. They just don’t align with the politics of the author.

Would you not consider someone high on meth intoxicated? I think stimulants are clearly intoxicating too. Culturally, we're comfortable people doing their jobs right high on caffeine but unless you make a scientific study you cannot know whether that's the case. It's possible caffeine slightly impairs your ability use a vehicle, or maybe enhances it, or maybe it has no effect.

Wouldn't count on that happening. They don't want their phone turning into malware central. I bet they probably already did the projections and have figured out exactly how much each type of bad pr costs. They probably already have the data to know that it's better to take the bad pr with developers than to take that pr hit with actual customers.
Same here, for the same equipement. Did not use heatgun but oven, wrapped in tinfoil. Same results as you reported. Finally sourced a compatible GPU from eBay, an ATI 5xxx from the next model year iMac. It was much much cheaper than sourcing an ATI 4xxx.

The supermarket itself is union busting. Before Big Grocery took over, stores paid people to take turns order and fetch all your groceries for you. Customers walking through aisles like a volunteer stock clerk is exploitation!

If a customer doesn't want or need a checkout clerk, they shouldn't be required to pay for one. Employees are entitled to good working conditions and fair wages, not entitled to unnecessary jobs.
This is a common opinion (which I don't agree with) that is worth addressing directly, and it has consequences for how we understand and use the sorting capabilities of AI.

The binary outcome consequences of misidentifying a dog breed in an app are not really important, but the ability for the breed to be a factor in informing some other aspect of a model is useful to businesses that optimize cash flows.

For example, I love stafforshires, and I also recognize that a machine learning scheme that added them as a factor in a credit risk evaluation might disadvantage a number of people, but be more profitable than a model that did not include it. If this is offensive, consider that breed specific legislation already allows you to be denied home insurance (and consequently, mortgages and equity loans) based on having one of these dogs today.

The code in this project could be used to mine social media images for breeds correlated with credit risk factors, and offer interest rates for the owners accordingly, and a credit instrument portfolio that incorporated this factor could outperform one that did not. In regions with breed specific legislation, someone with an banned dog has already demonstrated a deviation in their risk behaviour.

Shelters are not full of failed show dogs. In fact the majority of them are mixes, particularly mixes preferred by people who were guided by sentiment over more sound reasoning factors when they got the dog in the first place - hence why the dog is in the shelter, and why they probably can't get credit on favourable terms.

Is this just or ethical? No, it's predatory, but that's the social media bargain, and projects like this are worth keeping track of if you like dogs, and access to credit.
