The US public consultation on net neutrality was famously skewed by bots (posting identical messages, sometimes on behalf of dead people). On Reddit some topics attract bot like behavior as well (groups of users from a non-US ip block voting and posting in concert). Making it illegal won't stop this entirely but will stifle it.

Web development has always been an entry-level position, lead frontend or lead web developer is always lower-class than lead backend or what have you. But it's still good, well-compensated work. OP should be careful to not get caught up in our industry's dick measuring contests. My experience is that the most prized opportunities are also the most scarce and guarded, and that to pursue them is a risky career choice.
I had an ebay transaction where I sold a piece of equipment, and the buyer was shopping around and didn't want to keep my product despite listing it as "no refunds." The buyer claimed the product was defective and they allowed him to ship it back at my expense. I told ebay that I tried to help the buyer resolve any issues and they didn't even bother dealing with it and just closer the dispute. I called them and they claimed I agreed with and initiated the refund. I didn't. I called PayPal and they bluntly said that this is an ebay issue and that they're not involved. This is despite the fact that they froze the funds in my account. They straight up said they aren't involved. Both eBay and PayPal are complete shit and shouldn't be trusted. The fact that they cornered the market allows them to do this kind of crooked shit. It's absolutely ridiculous and I'm not paying the balance. They can close my accounts at this point. I don't give a shit.

Maybe you've never done remote support with an individual who is not particularly skilled with computers, but as someone who has, this is exactly the kind of tool you'd want at your disposal.

Yes!
> How do you get the rest of the internet population to care about using an alternative that respects their privacy though?

You don't. What I mean is that problems like privacy, censorship, centralized control etc, can all be solved with technology. And although you can't get everyone to care enough to switch to a facebook alternative, you can get everyone to "switch" to something completely new that makes facebook irrelevant, that breakthrough concept in combination with decentralization and privacy built in from the start means there is no "switch" to a competitor, it's just a "new thing".

It's all a bit vauge, but if it wasn't, it would already exist... and maybe there is no better alternative to social networks, perhaps this is it, and perhaps it's just a phase that society has to push through. But I have hope that there are better things, more fucking exciting things than scrolling through pictures of other peoples food and holidays that we have yet to dream of that will simultaneously make facebook as irrelevant as chemistry made alchemy.

Firefox allows you to use any resolver you wish. It just isn't a feature exposed in the UI, and instead you have to use about:config.

Specifically you'll need to set:

- network.trr.bootstrapAddress: To a secure DNS provider you trust (to get the HTTPS DNS resolver's IP/bootstrap DNS over HTTPS). e.g. 1.1.1.1

- network.trr.mode: To 2 (DNS-over-HTTPS is first choice, fallback to OS), 3 (DNS-over-HTTPS only otherwise fail, recommended)

- network.trr.uri to the URL of your DNS-over-HTTPS provider. e.g. https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

If you set all three (and mode to 3), it is a completely bespoke, highly secure DNS solution. That's what I use at work for any personal browsing.

I've been planning to go from "can work it out with copious examples" to "knows when to use apply, transform, etc. off the cuff" level of knowledge in Pandas - do you have any suggestions on good resources on this?

I'd like to understand better why the data structures work the way they do and thus have an intuition on what operations to use when. The O'Reilly Python Data Science Handbook[0] seems like it might be useful here, but I'm not sure if it is still up to date.

Reasoning locally, means maintenance on FP software should be easy.

So beginners could solve simple bugs and add simple features to FP applications.

Yet it's not a common thing.

Why ?
DNS is the last cleartext channel for ISP's to monitor browsing. This isn't about "porn" at all. Even with HTTPS ISP's have long been able to snoop DNS to find all the sites you visit.

This data is extremely valuable for marketing since the ISP also knows who you are and where you live. And using DNS bypasses tracker blocking.

This is all about ISP's getting mad that their advertising revanue is being cut off. And possibly a lot of pressure from governments to keep "metadata" like DNS requests in the clear

There have been a lot of comments here but I want to leave one specifically to the person or team who designed the Pi’s circuitry:

Thank you for working on such an important project and thank you for all the things that you got right.

I’m sure that somewhere, someone is feeling a little bit embarrassed and possibly somewhat sheepish over this and… Please don’t let one incident overshadow all the great things that have come from the existence of the Raspberry Pi!

I do not understand your criticism. The main content is Monte Carlo simulation at Roulette and that you lose in roulette games. The headline says just that. "easylang.online" is in this case just a means to transport this content. It would be much harder to do that in JavaScript and the examples would also be less comprehensible.
That's worth knowing. Also, as a long-term subscriber to A&A for home/business I can recommend them as being very good as an ISP, too.
too soooon haha
There are lots of different configurations supported by lots of companies. I’ve never worked in a company, in 25 years, that expected 8 hours of literal coding. There’s meetings, admin junk, training, etc.

But maybe the easiest would be to start your one person contracting company with either a high hourly rate that you can sell to clients who understand your productivity. Or you can bill by job and have clients not care about hours worked. This would let you work whatever you want.

I think the most common config I’ve seen for programmers is to work in 8x5 jobs that only require an hour or two of literal programming. And if lucky, have flexibility within that period to maybe have a few bursts of deep work and then slack time.

Enviromental Scientist's Lecture about the Viable Strategies for Decarbonization
I'm a little surprised anyone is surprised by this story. Apple has a long history of making questionable engineering decisions that end making their products nigh unusable and then steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the issue until evidence becomes too hard to deny. It happened with the iMacs multiple times, with the phones multiple times, with the MacBooks multiple times... By now we should know and not give them the unreasonable amount of credit we, but I should really say the tech press, gives them.
True. I would like to add, however, that just because they're not striking at the root doesn't mean they should stop hacking at the branch. It's still an evil branch, to use Thoreau's metaphor.

Most of the time first thing i do is to wrap the library call in a promise. Callbacks are really bad after a few nested ones, bht promise doesnt eliminate all the problrms
Promises are started eagerly, so

const xP = getX();
const yP = getY();
const x = await xP;
const y = await yP;

is just as parallel as

const [x, y] = Promise.all([getX(), getY()]);
I would recommend playing to peoples desires. People like beautiful yards and gardens, and you get people to plant more than just one tree if you educate them.

> It is his business, it's his account.

It's not his account. It's a service paypal offers. They own the service, the bits, everything. He owns the money. Paypal added some money that was not his, and then they took it away. Nothing of his was touched.
The desire to emigrate from your country/culture could very well be genetically heritable. Birth control is very new all things considered, I don't think it's obvious that the lack of desire to reproduce is purely cultural. It's just too new of an option to see the long term impact clearly.
Helping a planet that already helps itself.

"Here we analyse 35 years’ worth of satellite data and provide a comprehensive record of global land-change dynamics during the period 1982–2016. We show that—contrary to the prevailing view that forest area has declined globally—tree cover has increased by 2.24 million km2 (+7.1% relative to the 1982 level). This overall net gain is the result of a net loss in the tropics being outweighed by a net gain in the extratropics."

maybe that's the difficult part, finding the uncommon path among all the current trends, clearly distant from these "simple" proposals.

it might be easy to set up if you understand how the web works, but that understanding generally comes from some real work/experience we already have, which might not be so easy to pick up.

having 1000 simple ways to run a website could be much more complicated than having 2 tricky ways to run a website. specially if you don't know whether any of those ways are simple or not.
I applaud the IWF's intentions - I agree with ending child abuse - and am personally quiet happy with effective if draconian measures

the problem there is the effective not the draconian

We know some evil people record these vile acts, but we don't think that banning video cameras will solve the problem - so my gut feeling is that banning abuse images online is less about stopping the crime and more about not being reminded it exists.

So I wonder what the effective solutions to child abuse are?

Something to do with nosey neighbours willing to pry? With school teachers being amazingly sensitive? something to do with spending huge amounts on foster care and social services - something to do with simply getting to know and talk with your neighbours? or something else?

Was childline ever effective?

I don't know - but it's a huge problem with amazing ROI - and well worth spending at least as much as we do on pointless record my browser history projects.
“A simpler interpolation pattern with {{ }}” – New syntax for tidyeval/tidyverse
There might be yet another issue. As commented by the author of this blog post in the RPi forums (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=2438...): "Also the 5v on the connector is connected directly to the 5v rails. If the pi is powered over the GPIO then the USB-C connector is vbus hot which means it could backfeed devices when using the type C port on the pi as a USB client."

That is, when powering the RPi4 through PoE, its USB-C connector is in an invalid configuration: it's powering VBUS when it shouldn't (that is, unlike USB-A where VBUS is always on, IIRC with USB-C it should only be turned on when the CC pins detect that the other side is either a power sink or an adapter which should source power).
It's on EOS though, a network prone to cartels. Yeah, no thanks.
If the Vandals were at the gates, would you invite them into your community? Or would you rather live until tomorrow?

From day-one, humans have had to deal with the very real threat of other humans trying to kill them. Unless you subscribe to a social-Darwinist belief that the strongest tribe can rightfully wipe out or absorb every one of its enemies -- and the weaker tribes deserve to go -- your morality must reckon with the real problem of inter-tribal agression.

Perhaps this is what you meant by "Outcasts aside, ..." But if so, then your argument reduces to "we shouldn't keep people out, except for those that we should."

YMMV. I don't expect everyone to get 130k TC, but that has been the case so far.

A few things that helps:

1. Content must be lean. Learn foundations.

2. Really drill down those foundations.

3. Work experience: most of a student's journey is actually working together as a team to build / launch products. I role play as a project manager and run weekly sprints.

4. Relevant Technologies: I work as an engineering lead during the day, I make sure student's work experience covers all of industry trends (currently: GraphQL, React, Apollo Client)

If Nuclear power becomes a viable safe and clean energy, how are we going to deal with countries that don't have nuclear technology?
