I've had the experience of needing to book 4 airplane tickets through a reseller, and having a hunch it would be cheaper to book in 2 goes since there were only "2 tickets left at this price". Since they had 24hr cancellation, I took the chance, booked 2 tickets, and was right, after a few minutes, 2 more tickets were available at the original price.
I've been a happy user of these for a decade now:

They sound amazing for a very reasonable price. Not noise-cancelling though, unfortunately.
If this were true people wouldn't be able to do burnouts in auto transmissions cars?
Thanks, that article makes lots of good sense. I see more and more riders (on relatively quiet bikes) drive with high visibility gear, especially on the highway, which is great.

But those are rarely the 'loud' types, they're just people using their bikes as transport rather than as an attention seeking device.
I guess your parent post should have given it some more thought lol
I was actually very disappointed when Reddit banned r/WatchPeopleDie. Sure, there were some idiots there - there always are, insensitive comments sometimes, and a lot of gallows humour - sometimes literally. But there were thoughtful comments as well, and the content itself could be... well, educational, in a brutal kind of way. I visited occasionally as a kind of memento mori, and I feel like gained a lot of appreciation for the fragility of life from that sub - as well as a very healthy respect for safety around industrial machinery, and a resolve to never again ride a motor scooter in South East Asia.

Sweeping it away - sure, they likely made their lives easier. But what's the real outcome? The real freaks who get off on that stuff will go off to some horrible other site to ferment and radicalize away from the normalising influence of the more well-adjusted participants there, and regular people, who just might have been curious, have been deprived of whatever insights they might have found. I think it's a real shame.

And for what it's worth, I don't think The_Donald should be banned either. People have a right to speak, and we can ignore them if we want - or we can at least try to engage. I don't buy the "private company, they can do what they want!" argument. The age of the internet has introduced powerful network effects into where we can conduct our public discourse with any efficacy - Reddit is huge and there's no real competitor. It's basically a monopoly, in its niche. "Deplatforming" whole groups because of their political views, however nutty, is a very slippery slope. Unless you also support speech you don't like - you don't really support free speech!
One theory is that gender in languages aids in first langauge acquisition (while making second language acquisition more difficult). Children learning their first language are helped when there are multiple, redundant ways to recognize words and phrases.

If I'm wearing long sleeves, use my shirt sleeve; if I'm wearing short sleeves, grab the bottom of my shirt and use as a glove. I've seen too many people drop mega-bombs in the stall, sound like they're making a hash of the cleanup, then explode out of the stall and walk right past the sinks. Why would I wash up just to get feces on my hands from the door handle?
No, at least for me, Canadian English, I hear them as starting with: ap, el, ig, um

They have all the data to be able to make a relatively simple change like this. They don't want to, likely because it "drives engagement".
The task of an error "handling" mechanism could be then described as:

A. Create an error object, enter "error mode".

B. Annotate an error object with contextual information at each call point.

C. Return the error object up the call stack.

D. Translate from "error mode" into "value mode", producing the annotated error object as a value.

For languages with exceptions, B is automatic, but limited to stack traces, C is automatic. A and D are obtained via special language constructs, for example "raise ... / try: ... except E as ex: ...".

For Go [please excuse my almost total ignorance], B is manual, but arbitrarily expressive, C is manual, but terse via "try(...)", whereas A and D are done using a combination of standard language constructs and style conventions.

Assuming the above is correct, perhaps there is some reasonable design that automates B for most common use-cases. In particular, logging the invocation arguments at D makes it trivial to re-run the offending code in a debugger, with full stack trace and invocation arguments. Wrapping most function calls with "try(...)" is annoying, but manageable, whereas thinking what information should be carried by the error object on a case by case basis is a waste of brain cycles.
Desktop-wise, I've often thought [evergreen] client-side tools would emerge for content extraction via local [headless] browser automation. It's something I've contemplated building myself.

It’s formal Arabic, i.e., Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

This is a neutral and more grammatically correct version of the language. Its use is mostly limited to the written medium, but is also used for verbal communication in news channels and academic contexts.
Right-clicking the heart button and clicking "block element" is much easier and faster than downloading an extension, reviewing its code, then overriding whatever safeguards Chrome has to make it hard to install 3rd party extensions. Just my two cents.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

The comment about jealousy of her career was part of a recent spat that came about because I was annoyed at a situation related to her work travel. She was going to be away for just a day and a half, but then asked to take the morning before to exercise because she had been too busy at work the previous day and she uses exercise as her escape, so she "needs" it. In my mind, that is clearly saying, "my job was more important than exercise [OK, no problem], and now my exercise is more important than my family." On the surface, that's not a terrible statement, but then my mind says, "so that implies your job is more important than your family," which to me is not OK. Ultimately, it's not a big deal, she can go exercise in the morning, I can handle the kids and get them off to school, and me to work. But this situation really makes me angry about her priorities. As soon as I voice that, it's a fight and she actually turns it into an argument about feminism and says I'm trying to make a power play and keep her down. It's actually bizarre to me, to the point that I can't tell if I'm crazy because of the way she is reacting -- have I really said something to bring on a fight about feminism?

> Do you respect yourself?

That's a great question, and I always thought I did, but maybe not like I should. I'm healthy, I have a good job (by most standards, extremely good), but am I living up to my full potential? Probably not, and maybe that is disappointing.

> Is your wife happy?

Right now, I'd say definitely not. She is overworked, and outside of work she is going through a lot with a crazy family situation right now. She recently told me she cried twice in her office one day, but then refused to talk to me about it because "it's too stressful to talk about." That was another issue that made me feel like I'm on the outside and her job is on the inside.

> sacrifice is the life you signed up for

Yes, I know this. The thing I'm having a hard time coming to terms with is the disparate sacrifice between the two of us.

> realizing and coming to terms with the facts of your situation

I think this is the biggest thing I need to get out of this. It actually felt like a weight was immediately lifted when I was able to realize and vocalize this feeling that I might subconsciously be trying to sabotage her job because I see it as a higher priority in our relationship than me. I'm now wondering if I can embrace this role as the family catch-all that picks up responsibilities she's unable to share instead of feeling resentful about it. I'm hoping as long as I can recognize it as what it is, I'll be OK with it in the long run. But as I mentioned before, the thought of a slippery slope of sacrifice scares me. It's really not type of person I've ever been.
You have to fail in order to learn. And it's much better to fail at college when you're not liable for ridiculous loan debt, and still living at home.
Both conventional wisdom and specific studies I've seen [1] suggest that best fares tend to be somewhere around a couple months in advance.

I agree, but I'm not sure if it's a psychological thing or not. For example, I became known in my QFT classes for doing homework on TeXmacs. I think it might have very well to do with where you learned it first, for example, I never felt comfortable coding on paper and pen (although I did once in high school since I couldn't bring a laptop on the bus).
Deplatforming, shadow banning, deboosting, demonetization are all modern forms of censorship. It might not be exactly like the Chinese or other types of censorships we have seen in the past but it is a valid form of censorship. Definitions aren't everything, context matters. If you want to see a rising power filled with authoritarianism, look towards Google.

Yes, I agree, their culture is contrary to the basic functioning of an online forum.
Maybe it's to identify users behind a VPN as this is fingerprinting the device, not the connection.

That's why I think the idea of running each site in a container is so effective.

And while we're at it the container should just spit out random shit like different resolution, audio api, user agent, once in a while (unless the user turns it off) to thwart such attempts.

Unfortunately when the creator and maintener of 67% of all browsers is an ad company who is exploiting this in the firsr place, then there is no chance that this could happen
The USB-C connector physically supports 20 Gbit/s per pin in the USB4 spec (4 pins total: 2 rx + 2 tx, that's why we say it's "40 Gbit/s" per direction). DisplayPort configures all 4 pins as tx, so as expected it achieves 4 x 20 = 80 Gbit/s.
A wall would deter people from coming to begin with, which would ease the burden on border patrol facilities, making the whole situation more humane.

Let's not belittle these people by pretending that they don't have access to the internet and world news. People will still come, but once word spreads that a wall in key locations is actually being built, at least some percentage of them will reconsider the decision and settle with aid from countries such as Mexico, which had already been granted to them.
That seems to be the coming status quo, if things don't change. When society feels the need to "punish" someone, they will end up trying to deplatform them and remove their ability to speak to an audience.

Mark my words - within the next ten years (if not sooner), there will be a large-scale push for sharing of ban lists - get banned from YouTube for certain things, and you also get banned from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all major social media. It's all about control. That's what the entirety of civilized human existence has been about, control.

Well no objectively it is not. that's why better keep politics away from it

The main thing I want them to do is not to keep repeatedly showing me the same videos I've already watched. They have little bars under them that show I've watched them all the way through, it shouldn't be that hard.
I don't understand the cat and mouse game conservatives play with Bay-area companies. These companies are blatantly bias against anyone right of their political bubble, but conservatives keep using them and being surprised and outraged when they're censored. On the other hand, these companies are playing dumb and doing mental back flips to try to justify their blatant bias and claim neutrality because they only want to run off the conservative thought leaders, and keep most of the users.

Conservatives just need to move off of these platforms. They're private property, let them have their bubbles. This moral outrage at being censored is a waste of time, and staying on these platforms just continues to enrich them. I'm all for avoiding echo chambers, but it's futile to try to have neutral debate on a biased platform.
This exists in HDMI and I'm pretty sure it has to exist in newer standards. Generally the problem is that figuring out that something is plugged is not enough, you also need to know what is plugged, what resolutions it supports etc...

I don't know how DP does it but previously there was a good old I2C link in the cable that was used to figure out what the screen supported[1]. You only needed an I2C EPROM on the other hand containing the various modes. Without this the computer on the other end can't really prepare itself properly, preallocate the framebuffers etc...

Since the EPROM requires very little energy it might even work if the monitor is not powered, just using the +5V coming from the HDMI cable.

"people are more closely related to others in their own nation, than to those in foreign nations." Thank you mister Obvious.
But the first part of your sentence just serves your desires by an over-simplification and reduction of the topic.
No, a nation is not a larger tribe.

You mean like what you just did, turning the comment about your statement having no information into a comment about a binary choice?

No.

I am saying that your original statement is of no use because it has no information: it is an anecdote about "some browser" running on "some machine" being in "in some way", none of quantified or even further described, and so your claim can't be used to draw any conclusions about really anything at all.

What did you even intend to imply? Did you say it because you wanted to thumbs-up the idea of reusing already installed browsers (because it can certainly be read that way) or did you want to thumbs-down the idea of using the already installed browser? (because it can certainly ALSO be read that way).

First, my main point remains. Most cases of unintended acceleration are human error, regardless of whether any specific case is. I am sorry that you experienced the contrary. But it doesn't change the overall figures.

Second, Toyota dragged its feet on the full variety of problems that they had. But the one that they first acknowledged was the floor mat. As https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/toyota-pay-12b-hiding-deadly-... says, At the time of the first ABC News report, Toyota attempted to assure its drivers that the incidents of sudden acceleration without warning were solely caused by floor mats becoming stuck on the gas pedals or driver error.

MissingMyMental (Express mental health thru art)
I came up with was a clothing brand that can help express different types of mental health disorders. Some of the topics are linked back to my original research about neurologic symptoms. The other topics that we picked also had a high number of cases within the United States.

With our brand, we hope to bring awareness to mental health and to help people speak out to others so that we can get the right type of help that is needed. With every item that is sold on our website part of our profits are donated to 3 different foundations that focus on mental health and provides resources for those that need it.

Thank you for your support, be sure to check out our website for more info.

I’m thinking of one of those too. Maybe with the Akasa Turing replacement case for fabless operation. It will grow in size but not much more than two coke cans on top of each other. And it’ll cool a Core i5 barely breaking a sweat. The entire case is sort of a heat sink.
Why are you trying to associate the extremist views of The_Donald, and the violent, separatist rhetoric there and on other platforms, with mainstream conservatism?
Maybe I notice it because I use it more now, but it's shocking how bad it's become. I often get a heavy stream of suggestions for: ancient videos, and videos I've already watched. Throw in some clickbait and outrage focused content.

Then it seems to try to make me more extreme in some way (flat earther, hardcore gamer, etc) based on perhaps one partial watch of a semi-related video.

Surely there's some folks at Google who can see the raging dumpster fire this has become? I realize it's hard given all the competing interests (esp. advertisers), but this is horrendous.

As bad as it is, Netflix's suggestions are almost worse. I think these companies are optimizing on metrics that (ostensibly) show an improved experience while in reality they're destroying almost all user enjoyment.

Is it really a good thing that I "engage" longer with Netflix/YouTube trying to find something to watch with their terrible suggestions? (vs quickly navigating to a better video?)
Safari on iOS allows limited content blocking. It doesn’t allow ad blocking anywhere else, which is most of the platform.

And, I was referring to the future and trends rather than the current situation. System wide ad blocking used to be possible on iOS without jailbreaking, now it’s not.

I expect in time google will go similar and change android APIs, or play store rules, to do similar.
I'd be okay with a 36-38" 4K without scaling, would love 8K at 36-38" ... I don't know why I can't get a monitor that size at anything other than 1440p. Currently using a 42" 4K, but the physical size is a bit too big. My vision isn't great, but 2x:8k:38" would be perfect imho.
Nitpick: Reusing a name and shadowing and existing binding because the name is equivalent isn't "overloading". But I don't know if it should be called shadowing either because there is no function scoping in effect... Hmm
Yeah I dunno how to tell you this, but those of us who make the rrr sound at the back of our throats roll our eyes at you when your backs are turned.

I can't speak for the other Romance languages, but that's for sure the wrong way to make that sound in French, and a lot of people can't seem to hear the difference.

There's a reason some comedians make fun of european languages by clearing their throats. The rolled consonants are throaty, not mouthy (a word I just made up right now, sue me).
Cars of that vintage still had cable operated throttle bodies which could stick for a number of reasons.
I'm hoping in 10 years the world will have figured out that allowing arbitrary Turing-complete code to automatically run on one's personal machine is a terrifically terrible idea, and that the World Wide Web will instead orient itself around something that doesn't make security and privacy extraordinarily difficult to achieve (whether that's still HTML/CSS or something entirely new).

At the very least, though, eventually advertising agencies will hopefully figure out that this sort of tracking is pointless; "newspaper-style" ads are more likely to actually engage with the people encountering those ads (since said ads would be selected based on the page content rather than the person reading that content). This is how DuckDuckGo's ads work; the sponsored results are selected entirely by the actual search query. If content-driven ads (plus affiliate links, but I somehow doubt that's enough of DDG's traffic to be a deciding factor here) is enough to pay for enough computational power (and the development team to run it) to serve up 30+ million queries a day, then there's no reason it can't be enough for any other site.
There's a wide gap between fake information and real information.

On Via rail (Canada's Amtrack) you can see that 'there's only 3 seats left' in that category, but in my experience I think it's legit information.

Frankly - it's kind of useful as I sometimes delay booking, but I know the cheap tickets will be sold at some point.

Maybe there are some question marks about the 'darkness' of that pattern, but it's different than those sites that categorically lie or misrepresent.

I suggest if airlines/hotels are outright lying about some kinds of information, they should face fines, legislation, regulation.
Lyst Index 1er Trimetre 2019
Al-kitaab is a diffcult book to self study, and somehow an even harder one to work with in class. While it's inefficient, somewhere around book 2 you've aquired enough vocabulary and grammar to speak in fusha, although unless you've really followed through with a dialect for ammiya you're going to need a tutor to help you out. I wouldn't put too much stock in the reviews for the textbook.

Realistically, arabic is difficult, and actually speaking street arabic is frustrating.

Arabic is, however, definitely terrific. I'm definitely going to blow all my vacation days next year to come back again.
