I wonder if the previous poster is actually referring to a perceptual issue around latency — because the video latency is perceptibly greater than a face-to-face conversation, we may perceive unpleasantness in the audio as well, even though a phone call or audio-only Internet call are generally acceptable.
> You aren't doing anything wrong.

That's debatable. Lotteries are supposed to be completely up to chance. If by your own ingenuity you exploit a weakness then you are tipping the scales in your favor, which is unfair to less clever players.

It's basically the tragedy of the commons; everyone has the same chance of winning, but only you know you can safely risk more and win more, lessening the winning of others.

This is an oddly vehement response to a lot of sane defaults.

One simple solution to this "train wreck" would be for Firefox to simply link users directly to the search engine settings if they try to search without one set.

Tableau worksheets and dashboards are proprietary and need either Tableau Reader on the client’s desktop or Tableau Server to run proprietary server side stuff for the js libraries to draw it. This is expensive to license their server and limited in how you can host. In many situations the data is small enough to send to the client.

It would be nice if tableau would just generate static content that could be hosted anywhere.

There’s not a client tool for d3 as nice as tableau. I work with lots of scientists who learned tableau but aren’t really programmers and can’t figure out d3 or other libraries.
Six areas to research before interviewing at a startup
I read a statistic that claimed Facebook would only need a single payment of like $4 from it's users to operate at the same margins without selling their data. Seems like presenting users with the option of paying $10 for premium privacy could end up make companies more money. I don't use FB, but I'd sure use Google products more often if the option were available. Maybe we're edge-case users, but I surely don't feel like one. That said it's confusing the options don't exist, because from a purely capitalist perspective, the only perspective these companies have, the option seems to make sense.
Perhaps he should be more specific in the blog post instead. Removing phrases like "security-asshole" in the first place would also go a long way.
I actually like using CPanel's built-in backup settings on servers where I have CPanel installed. Amazingly simple to set up, really intuitive, and supports a variety of services. I have used Amazon and SFTP backups so far and they both work really well.

I don't think this is true. On ProAvalon, human players can see the full history of the game at all times [1], and use it to make decisions. DeepRole, on the other hand, can only use its internal belief state. This belief state is only a summary of what has happened in the game - DeepRole has no way of knowing who went on previous missions, or how people voted, or who proposed what. See above for more detail.

There is a deep irony in folks choosing to implement one of the few things the C standard DOES clearly define by papering over it with an alternative memory model.

Ironically, it's a memory model that greatly reduces the performance of modern systems, and als impacts its safety.

Oh no Google ReCaptcha doesn't work that way. In case of rate limiting, they will just throw an error. It's probably some clever JS or CSS that got a bug in it. Here's the official thread on GH: https://github.com/google/recaptcha/issues/268

Disclaimer: We built a solution at SerpApi.com to solve those offline using ML. Timing of solving doesn't matter. It will be odd that they do that just to annoy user when it's not a technical limitation.
> Unless you are working in something like a medical or nuclear device, it is not worth to bother with such things.

Where "something like a medical or nuclear device" implies a piece of software that is expected to work correctly.

In other words, you should always ensure that failures resulting from malloc(3) returning an error (and all other errors) are suitably contained.
Same boat. There is Fios in the building adjacent to me. I see Fios outside quite often repairing lines.

I've got 60Mbps/2Mbps (up/down) for 39 a month. I need more upload speed but that price jump to 110 was not worth it to me. Comcast business was no better.

Fios is almost a requirement for me at this point. It's the only decent internet I've had other than a local Seattle internet. But it's very hard to find apartments that list it. Their listings on site finder isn't the most up to date either.
That's a really good point I hadn't considered at all; I'm glad you mentioned it! I was looking at a benchmark (that i linked in another comment) that makes duplicity look slow, but so much more economical on storage space - i.e. cheaper.

But as you point out, if you don't need a long history, incremental eventually gets more expensive. Unless you could squash older than X, I suppose, but presumably that's so expensive to run (encryption & compression) that it's not supported.

Meh, just another backup solution that requires AWS keys, ssh keys, etc. to be kept on the same server where your data is. What if that server is compromised? The attacker now has all the keys he needs to delete or modify your backups, too.

For maximum peace of mind, always pull backups from a separate server that is not exposed to the world. Don't let your primary server push arbitrary data to the backup store.

This rule is trickier to follow when your backup store can't run scripts, which is why so many tools designed to work with S3 tell you to keep the keys exposed. But if you really want to, you can use an intermediate host to pull backups before pushing them again to S3.
I don't think people are making decisions about their UI colorschemes based on ergonomics. As a rule, people who say they use white-on-black or black-on-white for reasons of comfort or health are just rationalizing an aesthetic preference.

(n.b. I'm not weighing in on whether one white-on-black or black-on-white is more ergonomic, I'm just saying that it's rare that someone preference is actually grounded in ergonomics)

There's no shame in having an aesthetic preference, nor in sacrificing some ergonomics to realize it. If people always preferred ergonomics to aesthetics, everyone would be wearing New Balance shoes (I'm a happy owner of a pair). Your system UI and your code editor is something you stare at a lot, and it's reasonable to want it to look good.

There have literally been times where I debated whether or not I wanted to purchase something because of the knowledge that I would have to solve Google's captcha. Humble Bundle, in particular--the login process for me (due to uBlock+uMatrix installed) is like this:

1) Try to login

2) Login doesn't show up--go to uMatrix and whitelist some crap.

3) Try to login again.

4) First phase of login completes, now blank when site tries to load Google captcha.

5) Whitelist Google captcha frames in uMatrix and reload again.

6) Login for the third time, Google captcha now displays properly.

7) Spend 10 minutes solving captchas. If I'm lucky, the first "Verify/Submit" will work. If not, I probably need to whitelist cookies for it within uMatrix and reload/try again.

8) Get notification from HumbleBundle that "You have not logged in from this browser before" and wait for a Verification email to hit my inbox.

9) Enter verification code. Site usually then logs me out for some reason, even though it was successful.

10) Login again. Solve Google Captchas again. Finally allowed to login.

11) Finally buy the goddamn thing I was there to buy.

12) Search Amazon for wig.
I think you hit on the key point. Like you mentioned, you're expecting 3 times as much as you were initially. On top of a better understanding of your own value, you're also going to have a better understanding of the employer:employee relationship. In other words you're not going to bend over backwards solely in in hopes of proving yourself, achieving some sort of recognition, or other such things. I don't think companies are choosing not to hire older developers because of any form of discrimination or even a belief that older developers have less skills. Instead, it's just a value measurement no different than e.g. outsourcing. It's the same reason that I think most large tech companies are pushing hard for 'get [anybody with a heartbeat] into computer science'. Increase the labor supply, lower labor costs, increase profit margins.

This would also explain why other industries don't suffer from a similar problem. In software development companies collect software developers by the tens of thousands. This results in extremely high labor costs and so reductions on this front can see tremendous savings. As an example Google has about 100,000 employees. That means reducing their average salary by just $10 per year is worth a million dollars of 'free' revenue (yeah, ignoring taxes etc). Really amazing to think about those numbers! By contrast even very large companies in other fields will have relatively small numbers of engineers. For instance petroleum engineering is critical in the fossil fuel industry which is an extremely large industry, yet there are only a total of 33,700 petroleum engineers in the entire country.

Under the spirit of capitalism, if privacy is such a popular product that so many consumers want, then why not make it available for them to purchase?

For Google users example, free-tier will allow each user account 5 searches per month that will not be tracked and recorded, so essentially users will have an option to specify right before the moment of each search to indicate whether this specific search is going to be “cognito” or “invisible” (perhaps by just ticking a checkbox).

Higher tiers offering greater amounts of private searches per month will simply cost more to purchase shall those consumers desire. Ran out of private searches? Top it up just like prepaid phone credit! This way those users who are extremely privacy conscious will have a solution to protect their own privacy while Google has invented a new revenue stream and can even increase profits from their valuable services.

The next generation Capitalism 2.0 will now enjoy privacy becoming a new cash cow industry overnight. The question then will be how much are people willing to pay for an unlimited account?

I'm not sure how you could have a TUI that didn't look old. For serious applications, you have to build TUIs assuming the worst - that the user has no colors or special keys. Sure, some terminals can display bitmapped images with 24-bit color, but you can't depend on that, especially for anything running over SSH or within Tmux, screen, emacs, (neo)vim, or some combination of these. These can create some very obscure bugs related to colors and keybindings, so you can't assume every key will work as expected or that your users will have color at all (I disable Vim syntax highlighting over SSH because it tends to demolish its performance, for example). This is why many TUIs are 16-color and use just ASCII characters - you don't know if the user can display emojis or if it'll show up as a garbled mess.

GUI applications (including text-based ones like gVim and emacs) have a lot more flexibility because they can control more than they can in a terminal and can guarantee 8- or 24-bit color instead of having to hope for 16-color support.

> Why when typing "ls" not also have a tiny folder icon near the directories (you are already going into the hassle of adding colors anyway, a little icon would make it more obvious which are folders and which are files when you are looking at a huge list)

That would probably break a lot of scripts. I just alias "l" to "ls -l" so I can see the permissions (which has a "d" to indicate directories).
Using static hosting that can be moved somewhere else easily. URLs remain the same due to controlling the domain.

They will have to support Macs without T2 chips for many years into the future.

I predict that MacOS's premier status will be disappear before Apple manages to lock it down. The Mac app development community is dying. Apple strangled it to death with the heavy handed Mac App Store sandboxing policies. Nobody wants to develop exclusive Mac apps anymore.
Lots of terminals do support graphics in various ways, e.g. formats like Sixel (bitmap graphics), ReGIS (vector graphics), and others. Several have experimented with folder icons. Many support e.g. URL matching, and some support outright hyperlinks.

My setup does use a Sixel enabled (and ReGIS but the ReGIS support is poor) Xterm.

Here's the thing:

Years of experience is that the gain is very much marginal. I really want to do more related to this, and it can sometimes be useful. But unless you're sending images over an ssh connection, Sixel output to xterm is no easier than opening another window most of the time. My ls replacement locally already shows symbols and uses colours; the benefit of going to images instead of unicode characters is minimal. Drawing lines instead of using Unicode box drawing is similarly such a marginal improvement that for most things it doesn't offer much.

There are things where it can be nice, such as e.g. being able to plot a histogram from output from shell tools without opening a separate window (and making it work over an ssh connection), but even then you can mostly get there with unicode characters too, and then you don't have to worry about whether or not you'll need to use those tools from somewhere without a Sixel or ReGIS enabled terminal.

And there's the rub: these gains in functionality are so marginal that the benefit is very easily lost when you often work on multiple machines, because suddenly you have to distribute them to all the machines you work on, or juggle between multiple sets of tools.
You would also need a GDPR requirement that the user doesn't have to provide info he doesn't want to, and that is not a reason to deny service (e.g bar doesn't get to demand your age, only above 21 or not).

It also assumes that users providers will be forced to store information on your behalf (such as the knowledge that the user has been banned).

FWIW, I've never before heard a document referred to as "an education." Pretty weird phrase, IMO.
Probably you are right. I use tracker and 3rd party cookies blocking in FF and I often spend 30-60 seconds solving captchas. Often Google says that I solved it wrong (although I try to be careful) so I have to solve it 3-4 times, sometimes with those slowly appearing images. Upgraded my skills of recognising bridges, buses and fire hydrants but still struggle with searching storefronts.
I don't have any evidence (I've not attempted to benchmark it or anything), but my gut says that the stack is checking the hosts file first anyhow, so it shouldn't be much. It might actually be an improvement over a separate appliance.
I'm responsible for external salesforce integrations at my company, this is a really critical acquisition. Salesforce feature categories are surprisingly easy to compete with (be it LeadSourcing, Pipeline Management, 3rd Party App distribution, Licensing, Performance, Design, etc.) because they do a relatively average job at each of them. There are dozens of competitors springing up, many of whom target one of these categories as a key selling point.

Now if you go into a fortune 500 sales meeting to pitch how much better the analytics stack of your CRM is, they will come back saying that Salesforce is clearly investing to be superior in that category for the long haul.

As someone that has ADD, do not use it as a crux for you to not improve yourself. It's offensive and in my experience just an excuse people tell themselves to justify being lazy.
My understanding is that difference is in scope, not performance.

Hosts files will only affect the host (workstation/desktop/laptop etc) they're installed on.

Things like piHole try to make it easy to apply the solution to all members of your network - which even in household cases these days can number in dozens, making it impractical to manage hosts files for all of them (This includes items like phones which are typically unfeasible to mess with hosts file).
The statement probably holds true of people who self-host in their home as well. I currently run a cluster in my basement.
I don't know about "should", but one way to do it is to put both the backup script and the cron job to run it into a single, separate, backup-only container. Then tell that container (via volume mounts, etc.) what volumes to backup from other containers. Example container (non-Restic) that does this: https://hub.docker.com/r/b3vis/borgmatic/
Yup. Same shit everywhere.
One of the great losses since the late 20th century (probably ending at roughly 50s or early 60s) is that due to the limited selection of radio and TV programs, even large nations like the US pretty much shared a common musical heritage. I used to be that hymns and popular songs (e.g., "the great American songbook") were shared nearly universally in the US. Today, there are ever fewer songs that are even possible for a wide cross-section of society to join in on. And the Yankees just yanked "God Bless America" based on complaints from the whiniest of racists...

this is a vote of no confidence for the Salesforce Einstein Analytics ( formally Wave analytics ) product. I suspect over the next couple years you'll see Einstein Analytics phased out in favor of Tableau with a SF stylesheet applied and framed inside Salesforce.

On the other hand, the IOT team at SF probably loves this. I got to spend a few days with the main engineers discussing their "Thunder" architecture a couple years ago. Under the covers it's awesome (great integration of multiple open source technologies) and the "IOT Cloud" UI isn't bad either but they didn't have an answer for data visualization on the scale they built for.

on a tangent, while getting into SF's IOT product they were talking about how it was so easy business analyst could set it up (famous last words right?). It's pretty easy to make a mistake and create a billion SF cases ( case is like a trouble-ticket in SF's Service product) in the span of "click -> "oops let me undo that" -> click" hah
