I'd say Rust is a productive language for providing competitive CLIs.

- Compiled so easy to distribute compared to Python, JS, etc
- Cargo makes it easy to pull in libraries compared to C/C++
- Smart people made some great libraries that make it trivial to get performance and/or a nice UX. e.g. Everything in ripgrep is available for reuse, down to how it walks the filesystem.
Yup! I mentioned in another comment here, but overriding scrollWheel can completely kill smooth scrolling and is only mentioned in some release notes.

It's crazy.
Murder and crime have been growing fast in Quintana Roo since the new state government started in late 2016 or so.

I lived there in 2017-2018. Cancun now has a murder rate above the national average. There are shootings weekly, even in the zona hotelera. A couple of months ago someone threw a grenade into a bar. It’s getting ugly.
Non-gringo and non-Mexican chiming in from Puerto Escondido. Your comment hits all the marks, as far as I'm concerned.
Mine started to boot loop a couple years back and it was out of warranty by then. I sent LG a mobile device repair request and the rep sent a prepaid label. So I wiped it, removed the sim and mailed it to their US repair center.

I got it back about ~2 weeks later in working condition, at no cost. LG is repairing any Nexus 5X for the bootloop issue outside warranty. Apparently it's due to incomplete contact of the heatsink with the CPU.

Depends on what you're doing, I guess. If you're wearing headphones, that makes it harder for the other person to get your attention. That seems to annoy my mother sometimes when my father is wearing headphones and listening to music while sitting in their living room.

It speaks a lot to modern culture that "influencer" is a thing. Every article I've read about influencers, the majority sound like entitled, spoiled, children.

What are the best ways to lock down my phone&laptop to limit internet/app usage?
I have Digital Wellbeing on my Pixel, but its trivial to disable it when I exceed the allotted threshold for an app. I have used Freedom app, but that works based off of sessions, not time limits.

Does anyone have any ideas? Ideally, the solution will work on both laptops and phones.

That's an aggressive reading of that article. She lays out her argument, maybe makes a snarky comment here and there, but it's hardly a rant.

Her argument flows pretty naturally imo. Identify a problem. Open concepts are a fad with bad externalities for its occupants and the environment. She points a wagging finger at the normies who bought into the fad, condescending only if you choose to read it that way, but really all in all good natured. More than a fad, perhaps open floor plans are a historical mistake by ideologues who were unable to anticipate its unintended consequences. She draws attention to the richer people escaping to their man caves and sculleries, they wouldn't need to do that if their house wasn't a cacophony of noise and smell to begin with. Her solution is simple and elegant. Just close up that kitchen again instead of holding on to that collective aesthetic obsession with large spaces.

She underestimates that people actually value the aesthetics and branding of an open floor plan more than any of its drawbacks. Open floor plans make your small house look big and are ideal for the perfect family, where everybody always gets along, and the loss of privacy is secondary. And who doesn't want to live in a big house, and not have a perfect family?

No going back. The open floor plan coincides with the decline of cooking and the replacement of hosting with entertaining. Kitchens are fake anyway. Of the families who I know who actually cook meals, who host their friends and relatives as if they were honored guest to be waited upon, none of those prefer an open kitchen. Those who don't, mine included, for who a kitchen is a place with a fridge and a microwave primarily, maybe a large tabletop for all the crap their kids bring back form school, the people who's idea of cooking is making casseroles and pasta that need to last for days, who's idea of a party is a potluck, they do prefer open floor plans.

It's a value shift in what it means to prepare meals, she prefers the old fashioned values, most people no longer do.
I didn't think corrupted data would change the size of the file or the mtime? If it doesn't then rsync wouldn't overwrite the second drive as it would see it as an existing, good copy. Unless you had rsync using checksum comparisons of course.
I appreciate what you said, and I don't assume bad intent.

However, I would urge you to be careful with the words that you choose, especially when it comes to a topic like this. I have no doubt that your product will make those with dementia happy and having actual tangible photos is easy for anyone to use. Seeing photos of loved ones or just photos in general even if they don't recognize the people anymore. Anyone will get happy looking at a picture of beautiful child. We have an iPad for my mom just for that purpose and my siblings will go through pics with my mom all the time. She no longer recognizes my wife or my son (she confuses my son with me now all the time, and she talks to the iPad thinking that she is communicating with the person on the screen). But no doubt seeing those pictures makes her happy in that moment.

But dementia is an extremely cruel disease, worse than any other because it robs people of their humanity over many years and leaves families with huge bills and extreme guilt.

Photos won't help. Exercise doesn't help. Neither will omega fatty acids, various other pills or diets, 40 Hz light therapy, etc. It will continue to progress until the person is only alive in the clinical sense, but will be nothing like what their family remembers. Photos make people laugh and smile, but that's not help in any sense more than watching a funny tv show would help.
Oh don't worry. It is safer than the typical American school or church.

Now, those are something scary. I wouldn't dare to go to school in the US with how insecure they are. How can people study in those places?
Indeed, there is a WG2/UTC proposal to officially add Powerline symbols to Unicode [1]. The problem of this approach is that those standards are very strongly (and probably rightly) governed with a lot of crufts and limitations, for example you can't put Github symbol there because it is trademarked.

I’ve once tried to port AVS to GPU: https://github.com/Const-me/vis_avs_dx Already runs ~half of built-in presets.

If I’ll have time for that, maybe I should add custom D3D-specific effects there that weren’t there in the original version. Fluid simulation is one of them. BTW it’s easier to implement with compute shaders. WebGL only support them on Chrome/Chromium and only on desktops, that’s why OP used some trickery with fragment shaders instead.

One of these people approached me at a Starbucks in Norcal. I debated doing the same thing the author did but thought better of it. I could tell immediately it was a scheme, and although I figured the odds were low that I'd be putting myself in physical danger I couldn't shake the fear that they might harass or threaten me or otherwise make my life difficult if I got in too deep and then bailed. Like they might be an actual cult. Weirder and worse shit happens to people all the time. Look at Scientology.

Shoot, you are correct, and I misspoke. I meant to imply that the default must be assumed to be rejecting all tracking, and that all tracking applied must be explicitly accepted.
> If you'd like to know why an exception was thrown, you have to print the value of the proper CPU register. On x86-64 it's $rax. As far as I know this is an oral tradition, passed down from senior developer to junior developer.

This varies based on the calling convention and signature of the the method that the exception handler puts a breakpoint on. With objc_exception_throw on x86_64 the value should be in $rdi ($arg1) in LLDB.

Hoo boy, you aren't kidding. I have an older home and my wife reached out to this old house about getting some work done. I have a slate roof, real plaster walls, needed some wood working done like a new french door crafted, etc, etc. I don't remember the exact number any more but I think they weren't interested if my budget was less than $650k. I didn't pay that for my house!

The heads fly on a fluid cushion when spun up, they must physically land when the thing spins down. The head landing/takeoff operations are sources of physical wear.

Assuming a brushless motor and quality sealed ball bearings, it could be argued that the drive wears less kept spun up all the time.

My understanding is that spinning them down is primarily a power-saving measure.
Thanks for the tip friend!

Actually I'm a hobby photographer, and I generally favor accurate color representation over any other special color modes. I do remember playing around with the settings when I got my phone and I think I just forgot to switch the color mode back to normal from vivid.

> you're trying to create a barrier to standardization. You don't want to codify successful patterns to keep your job coveted.

Ugh. I use as many libraries and services as possible so I can focus on writing code when no standard tools exist. That will keep me busy every day forever. If you think I'm out there sabotaging standardization efforts you're delusional. I wouldn't even know how to do that. Slash tires at a W3C convention or something?
It's not a 'just your opinion, man' sort of thing - more or less nobody seems to have thought PRISM was unlawful. Rand Paul, I think, made some noises about suing at the time and eventually did file some sort of suit that ended up not being about PRISM.
That is actually amazing. I mean the fact about 2004.
> While sed does a whole lot more, sd focuses on doing just one thing and doing it well.

I'm sure you already know this, but sed is meant to provide the features that ed does, so sd is quite a bit more limited. Still, I can see how this can be useful, as most invocations of sed end up only really using a handful of its features.

Aren't these algorithms trained on expert-annotated data? If so how does it end up performing better than radiologists? Or are these radiologists only mediocre at detecting cancer?
As these things tend to do, the issues balloon and it becomes impractical to respond to every point.

The idea that parents who don't care are penalized is simply a fact of life. Should we make the same argument about diet— that the state has the resources to appoint Top Dietitians and mandate a uniform State Diet? In fact, the experts that the state has hired have been corrupted by players like the corn and dairy lobbies and the nutritional advice they've given in the past has been roundly derided as terrible. Further, obesity has gotten worse since that advice has been given. Why would we think that the same state mandating institutional assignment would produce better results? Apparently, according to you, because other State education departments in other cultures and parts of the world have had comparatively more success by state-reported metrics? Again, I'm unimpressed at this justification for property taxes.

"What you're suggesting is that it's okay to have a system where parents and students make the decision about whether or not schools are good or bad by spending time at them"

In part, Yes! The way every other cooperative voluntary arrangement works! Do you even have children? I do. I have had babysitters that have made me uncomfortable on the first day. Yes, I have fired them and made the necessary decisions for my children. Why you think I should be legally prevented from doing that in the case of decades of dubious-quality education is a complete mystery to me at this point.

Experiential data are extremely useful on individual bases. Children who enjoy school because they don't have to do anything have been taught that education is painful. Anyone without that supposition would simply be bored, which would be a negative complaint rather than a positive review. The fact that we culturally accept common utterances like "school sucks" should tell you everything you need to know about a one-size-fits-all approach to educating a population. The argument here is to walk back the do-this-or-lose-your-house force-based approach and move toward a competitive and innovative approach toward improving individuals' quality of life. Your argument against this seems to be that, while it hasn't worked here, it theoretically (under some theory you've yet to elucidate) could, because infinite resources by fiat magically translate to infinite productivity and efficiency in real life. I don't think you've just done a poor job at defending that claim, I think you've simply done the best job you could of defending a bad idea.

Now what's that they say about ideas being so good the have to be mandatory?
Could you give more context to this story, perhaps a link?
I think they were referring to the fact that when a new popular language arises, people rush to build things in that language and then act as if the language itself is sufficient to make the resulting product good instead of any inherent merits.

>Also, finding other people who enjoy talking about cars or writing fan fic doesn't have this sort of harmful in-group/out-group dynamic.

Purely anecdotally, but I beg to differ. There is more than a little bit of tribal hostility on e.g. Tumblr around various fandoms.

To me, the real issue is that surrounding yourself with like-minded people only teaches you to interact with people you primarily agree with and are comfortable with, rather than the more valuable skill of interacting (civilly) with people you disagree with.
> Mark Zuckerberg testified in-front of congress and stated they do

I just want to point out that "testified in-front of Congress" seems to have no relation to the truth of any statement. I don't recall the last time (if ever) there have been legal ramifications for lying in front of Congress.

Zuckerberg also testified that shadow profiles don't exist and that users can always remove their personal information from Facebook (they do exist, and you can't). James Clapper testified that the NSA doesn't "wittingly" surveil hundreds of millions of Americans (they do, very "wittingly").
That is old news, been going on for years. Probably a good chunk of the so-called influencers is just such as the once you point out.

Do we confidently know that a squirrel isn't an actor of grandiose squirrel shenanigans but is actually just scraping around for food? Can we really quantify the number of our own cultural traits in an unbiased way? Would an alien observatory see us all just staring at blinking light screens, or would it know some people are playing Wii tennis while others are committing crimes?

When you fist do things you aren't gonna do them good most of the time. How did you get there with coding? You wrote a lot of code, you probably started with the basics, simple stuff that doesn't matter, and worked on refining it, making it something useful, etc.

That's life. Take opportunities to practice your socialization, lunch meetings, trade shows, conventions, shopping, etc. Talking to fellow humans is easier when talking about something trivial like games.

Start somewhere, find situations where there are no worries about the outcomes, build from there. Doesn't hurt to practice on your own either.
Oof, I'm guessing you're not a big fan of biographies or history books.

Well-Known Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
Blocking DMA is separate from 0days. One is a design decision, the other is a still-unavoidable consequence of complicated software.

I think that these mechanisms completely frustrate "bulk" in-field collection efforts; for example, scanning all phones at DUI checkpoints.

No technical control is perfect. If you personally piss off a nation state adversary, they are more likely to yeet you off to a black site and hit you with a wrench until you cough up your passcode.

Surely, someone will break iBoot, and surely, someone will break SEPOS. And surely, someone will chain a kernel exploit with a userspace exploit [0]. And surely, someone will leak the signing keys for a widely deployed cheap android phone [1]. And surely, someone will push 777 permissions to a cloud provider [2]. And most surely, powerful government adversaries will hold brutal exploits close to their chest in the service of power and politics [3].

So I guess, if you want to breath freely: host your infrastructure yourself where feasible. Choose providers who respect your privacy. Make a modest but financially fair donation to the EFF. Become politically active. Use better practices - not best - to avoid fatiguing yourself in the windmill chasing effort of being Perfectly Secure. Most importantly, stay awake and aware and ready to fight.
