You even have inline comments if you use an editor plugin like gitlens (VSC).

I guess the problem here though is portability
Doesn’t FUBU represent the very tribalism that has contributed to some of the dramatic troubles within Africa? Do people have pride in being from a specific continent? Given the vast diversity of Africa, I am not sure I understand the mindset. Algerians are far more different from Kenyans than Mexicans are from Argentinians. Would a Tunisian success be celebrated by Botswanans? I am going to plead ignorance — I genuinely don’t understand.

As far as Fidel being an African hero, we can forget another hero to many Africans: George W. Bush: he did more to stem the tide of AIDS in African than any other non-African leader.

They broadcast a code at the start and end of the ad segment for networks. I have vcr from 1996 that skips ads. Once it saves the recording it rewinds and fast forwards until it finds the ad marks it. When viewing an ad it automatically fast forwards. RCA

>but they are essentially needed

Kind of. College degrees replaced high school degrees as a baseline for general knowledge. It used to be the case that a high school degree meant you had some general knowledge of math, history, geography etc., with an above average level of literacy and a reasonable level of intelligence. High school degrees do not mean any of those things anymore. Many kids who graduate with a high school degree are functionally illiterate (1 in 5 graduates).
There's volume and then there's "loudness."

Even if peak volume is under some prescribed maximum, compressed audio can feel very loud. Commercials often leave very little dynamic space, which makes them jarring in that they feel "loud."
> So use an ad blocker. It's about thirty seconds to set up, and very user-friendly. Even with the default lists, they do a great job.

Have you ever tried to set up ad/tracker blocking for a non-tech person? If it actually protects their privacy, then it's also a huge pain in the ass that randomly breaks things and requires constant attention. DNS- or IP-level blocking works best, but requires constant maintenance. Then there are the various caches. What breaks when you block "*.googleapis.com"? Then there's the question of which user-hostile JavaScript APIs you try to block. WebGL? WebUSB? And from whom? It's endless war.

Just to add in, the lowest priced “industrial” arm projected prior to this was the “Franks” robot, where they anticipated to sell them at quantity for about $10k. Note the current development version of that arm is at least 2X that price.
A "nonce word" is a word that is created to be used once. For example, if we were surfing off the coast near the Kruger National Park, we might send this tweet: "We are on Surfari!"
The wikipedia entry for Cryptographic nonce says: "It is similar in spirit to a nonce word, hence the name."
It is a one line formula but has 186 stars and 10 contributors to it. I don't get the hype!

That's like saying 2 + 2 is not limited by being 4. You can "know" that 2 + 2 is 5. You're just wrong.
I run ublock, privacy badger, and noscript in firefox in addition to my pihole. Unlike the local in browser solutions pihole will sometimes cause extremely long hangs on poorly engineered sites that are hard to distinguish from network connectivity issues (because in a sense they are intentional network connectivity issues). For example, the chrome web store hangs because google essentially requires you to allow ssl.google-analytics.com and has a multi-minute timeout set (just checked and it is 140 seconds when trying to retrieve ga.js). After a while you learn to recognize when a site is having pihole issues and you go check the log.
Yes, people disagreed. It was a compromise.
Why don't you take a look at the link? It has a page specifically addressing these questions: https://jsonnet.org/articles/comparisons.html
I don’t consider it a meaningful comparison. The US has long been far in the lead in economic output as well as military investment. Who are we being compared to?

My point is that we spend hundreds of billions wastefully and direct a vast amount of resources in directions that are not beneficial or useful. This has nothing to do with percentages of GDP. It’s also a very high percentage of government expenditures while when the government has been running deficits and been in debt for decades.
Are you counting the VA? Cause that may be the worst in the world.
I worked for a foreign owned company. I guess I was a collaborator.

I agree that I think a bit too much weight is being put on who owns it. When I worked for that foreign owned company the only folks who cared about such things was when they called support.... that I was in the US if only because the service level was better, and a few customers for security reasons had such concerns. Otherwise I don't think anyone cared.

A decade ago, my wife had a very severe colon event. Three very difficult to recover from surgeries.

On each one, she rested a day, maybe two. Gotta do that, or risk tearing and such. No worries. She could feel that. Tested it constantly.

But, once the very dangerous time had passed, she always did the same thing. Get proper clothes on. Top and some shorts or simple skirt. The minimum.

Then she, in her words, "got the fuck up and moving before she gets stuck, trapped in there."

I watched her get half the wing up, some of those people resigned to dying in their beds. The nursing staff were amazed. They told me some of those people had given up too.

I would help, and just stayed out of the way otherwise. Within a few days, she knew everyone, who had kids, whatever. And it was all simple. "Tomorrow, we walk to the ice machine, deal?"

I am convinced there is real value in simple human contact and communication. I have seen what can happen when people connect, share their stories, their pain, and most importantly, their dreams, who they matter to, who needs them.

All of that brings us strength, motivation, the simple realization that it really is not over, that others are there, that we are relevant, matter, is powerful.

We heal, we cope with pain, and we laugh, love, feel, are alive and it matters.

Yeah, get them out. Get them up. Get them people who they can talk to, with.

Treats, that pet they love (I did that a couple times and had to sneak, do it outside or in a common area), whatever helps them see themselves out of there, living life, basically, not done yet, matters a whole lot more than I thought it did.

I know now what I will do, and it is that. Get the fuck up. Just get started.
This is the real reason why women are graduating in computer science in much smaller numbers than when I was in school, when the number was 30%. Programming, like engineering and science, has turned out to be just not a good long-term career prospect for most people.

Whenever demand softens, which it does every few years, women and minorities take the brunt. Once you have been out for even three years it is very hard to break in again.

Part of the problem is that when employers don't feel like paying a living wage, they easily persuade government to import foreign help, in the tens or even hundreds of thousands. The companies pretend that this doesn't depress salaries, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Furthermore, they have arranged not to be obliged to pay overtime, and then they demand overtime work on a routine basis. I have never seen such an employer pay engineers overtime, under any circumstance. Sometimes there are "bonuses" that are a tiny fraction of what overtime would cost them.

The only plausible solution to this problem will be for engineers and programmers to unionize, and start cultivating representation in legislatures. We are handicapped by myths about self-reliant cowboy engineers who don't need to join together.
Is Facebook comitting a crime? Not sure i understand your analogy.
I miss the News Feed back when it showed mostly information about my friends' lives. At some point I feel like their algorithms started showing me more links to clickbait and other time-wasting bullshit. After a while it gave me almost nothing I actually cared about, which induced me to install the "News Feed Eradicator for Facebook" Chrome extension. I visit FB very rarely nowadays.
Pi-hole supports dnscrypt-proxy. You can set them both up on the same Pi but listening on different ports, then tell Pi-hole to use dnscrypt-proxy on localhost as its DNS provider.
Why Raspberry Pi? That will be a serious bottle neck. Does he use 56Kbps modem?

This article is nonsense. Off the top of my head: Accenture, General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman, and M&M/Mars have corporate headquarters in the suburbs around Washington. Not such a big deal now, but AOL also through off quite a bit of wealth for a while.
Well, if you look at the study [0] you can see that you can get rid of the most of the tracking by disabling App Background Refresh, removing the Google apps and by running a content blocker. If you do all those steps, Big Google won't be getting much identifiable data about you.

>Both Android and Chrome send data to Google even in the absence of any user interaction. Our experiments show that a dormant, stationary Android phone (with Chrome active in the background) communicated location information to Google 340 times during a 24-hour period, or at an average of 14 data communications per hour. In fact, location information constituted 35% of all the data samples sent to Google. In contrast, a similar experiment showed that on an iOS Apple device with Safari (where neither Android nor Chrome were used), Google could not collect any appreciable data (location or otherwise) in the absence of a user interaction with the device.

>While using an iOS device, if a user decides to forgo the use of any Google product (i.e. no Android, no Chrome, no Google applications), and visits only non-Google webpages, the number of times data is communicated to Google servers still remains surprisingly high. This communication is driven purely by advertiser/publisher services. The number of times such Google services are called from an iOS device is similar to an Android device. In this experiment, the total magnitude of data communicated to Google servers from an iOS device is found to be approximately half of that from the Android device.

Depending what you are making, there is different formats that you can use, such as: YAML (which is a superset of JSON; however, it does not use the same comment format as JavaScript), X resource manager format (I wrote two implementations, both of which are smaller than the one in Xlib, and can be used independently of Xlib), a C include file (but then you have to recompile the program to configure it, although it makes the program more efficient), INI (some programs use a simplified version without section headings), RDF, TOML, executable code (especially if the program is written in an interpreted programming language, such as JavaScript, or embeds one, such as perhaps SQL if it is a database program, although SQL seems isn't generally a very good configuration format), etc. What is best depends on what the configuration file is for, I think.

I haven't heard about JSON5 before now, and I don't know what is JSON5 (I read in here apparently JSON5 is JSON with comments; what format of comments (is it same as JavaScript), and does it accept trailing commas?). Also, XML is OK for markup, but it is often used for other stuff where other formats are often better (although maybe you have some case where the other options would be worse than XML for the configuration format).

"no loops means less bugs"

But the loops will be clear and explicit. People can check if you have an off-by-one error.

Python does not support many recursive calls, after "n" gets beyond a certain number, the code will crash with a RecursionError.

That is a bug which is much harder to see. The code will crash if N < 0 for the n_th() method, which is probably a bug.
Two points:

1. I generally agree, but think that Stephanie falls into the trap of portraying this as a women’s issue when it’s a general issue about bullying in social groups.

What I’m calling out as unserious is having codewords in a single gender’s bathroom to report sexual assault, but having nothing for the other gender or to, eg, report racial bullying or violence. And that suggestion, frankly, seems to come from women being allowed to act out unserious proposal in response to their perceptions, without real pushback or analysis of the impact of their suggestion — something I called LARPing.

I think the topic of bullying, and particularly sexual assault deserves more serious solutions than that.

2. Codewords at the bar? C’mon, you’re encouraging theatrics at that point, rather than genuinely working to foster an environment in which people feel safe coming forward.

I absolutely support having staff floating around, staff being trained to take reports in private, having known places to contact staff privately (eg, office), and having a phone number or email for both named reporting and tips.

But if you’re not ready to deploy staff, then you don’t need a code of conduct, and in no case is codewords a serious proposal for how your staff should be contacted to intervene in an event.

In small groups it’s often counter productive, because that one in twenty sociopath will be a better rules lawyer than the victim, and often better friends with the organizers. Policy becomes a tool of minimization, because there’s no mechanism in a small group to audit enforcement.

Again, I think the topic deserves more serious suggestions than LARPing — precisely because it’s a serious topic, and solutions have trade-offs.
I don't understand why everyone assumes the DC move is for lobbying or government influence. I always assumed it's just a business move, the DC area has a high supply of security-cleared engineers and AWS is pushing into GovCloud. It seems a lot more plausible to me that Amazon is just making a strategic business move by tapping into a unique labor market, than some conspiratorial culture-shaping crusade.
Question - does stopping apps from running in the background actually help privacy?

Can’t the app just buffer all that data (including time stamps) and just send it when you use it again?

Or is the app truly “turned off”?
It says: "small footprint (>2.5MB) and RAM usage (>5MB)." If this is your website, perhaps you meant "<" (less than) instead of ">" (greater than)?

No, because the market is artificially depressed by "visa programs". They pretend there are not enough skilled engineers, when really they are not offering enough to make the jobs attractive. Worse, people on these visas are captive labor, and cannot move along to better prospects.
It's not HD by any means, but look at the hardware this ran on: A few MB of RAM and a few dozen MHz of CPU.

Meanwhile, a certain "modern" text-only (no, emoticons don't count as video) chat client manages to take upwards of 1GB of RAM and lag severely on a barely-1-year-old quad-core i7...
Price is way of measuring when it should be denied, because it has to be at some point. You can't spend the entire US GDP to save one life, even if it would work. At some price you have to say it's too expensive.

Then the question is, do you want to decide that amount for yourself, or have someone else deciding it for you?
Perhaps HCL[0] is worth a look. It has comments and no need to quote keys. I ported it to C++ and Lua for a project and it gets the job done for non-dynamic configs.

That's what I do. I find it much better to not knowing everything about my family and friends all the time. So I talk over phone and we talk for hours. After ending the call I feel happy. I never feel like that using social media. When we meet physically, there are so much to talk about and share.

> So what is this magical means of Samsung being compensated for their multi-billion dollar investment that China stole that you don't think is a big deal?

My claim in this thread is that not treating ideas as private property is a defensible and reasonable position to take. When you say that Samsung needs to be "compensated," you make it clear that you're not treating ideas as private property, either. The market value of property is the amount of benefit/enjoyment it provides someone else, not the amount of effort that went into making it. If I spend two hours making a cake, and you spend 30 minutes making a cake, and people want to pay both of us $10 for it, there is no violation of my property rights that I'm not compensated for spending 4x as long. You might casually say that my cake is "a steal," but the cake is definitely not being stolen from me.

If you were arguing about property rights, you would be asking about why Samsung isn't getting paid the fair market value of their ideas, not about why they aren't recouping the investment they put into creating them. (And I've even suggested elsewhere in this thread that compulsory licenses are a way to do this.)

But if you're interested in Samsung recouping their investment, well, we can discuss that but it's absolutely not property rights that are helping them do that today. If we want to discuss that, I'd simultaneously ask how to compensate people for multi-billion dollar investments that don't yield marketable products but are still good for humanity to have done the research.

> As for your analogy, it's patently false that anyone involved wants the candy shared. It's been stolen.

Not sure I follow. Samsung wants to trade phones for money. Samsung does want the phones shared: that's the entire basis of the argument The kid wants to trade candy for reputation. If you prevent Samsung from selling as many phones, no phones are being stolen. (Actually it turns out I didn't even need the analogy here.) If you prevent the kid from giving candy to classmates, no candy is being stolen. Why do you think the candy is being stolen?

Facebook is actually trying to fight a fine from Belgium's privacy regulator, so they definitely committed a crime, at least there: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jun/15/belgium-f...

My analogy was that it shouldn't be up to me to defend myself from someone else's nefarious actions. I should not have to install ad blockers to avoid getting stalked by Facebook.
NASA once accidentally depressurized a man while testing space suits in a vacuum chamber. He lost consciousness in less than 15 seconds, but fully recovered after depressurization. He reported feeling his saliva boil which is... exciting.

Thats the semantic definition, but you might as well claim that the illusion is true or at least real :)
The fact that Freud's hypotheses and theories as he performed them don't stand up to modern scientific scrutiny does not mean he is otherwise useless as in the field of psychoanalysis[0], which has mainstream appeal and respect in the humanities and has largely moved on from Freud himself[1]. Likewise for Marx, who is both popular among heterodox economists and sociologists (since he's a founder of that discipline), not to mention political economy, all three of these fields are huge and produce a mass of scholarship every year - along with the discipline of critical theory which can be credited to the authors I mentioned in my top level post in this thread. There is no feminist scholarship which does not at least take into account critical theory, just as there is no aesthetics which does not either. Nietzche is one of the most influential philosophers of modernity, I'm not sure what's supposed to be so wrong about him.

You could even reject all of their substantive propositions and still respect them and the culture they helped inspire[2], which is the culture of suspicion - not taking things for granted or at face value, repudiating all notions of "common sense" and as Marx put it, "ruthless criticism of all that exists".

Okay, fine, rephrase "without harm to the owner" as "without injustice to the owner" if that helps make my comment more understandable. I grant that there is a sense of "harm" under which deposing a dictator from his comfortable life harms the dictator, even if he isn't punished and is allowed to start a new life as a private citizen, and that's not the sense of "harm" I mean. I don't think there's a way you can argue that deposing him would be an injustice towards him.
