New chrome extension can help you build deeper relationships “Clapboard”
Clapboard launches soon! On the surface, it may seem like just another work tool that lets you record stuff. However, diving a bit deeper into its functionalities explains how industries could use Clapboard to boost sales, enhance customer satisfaction and synergize between work employees.

What is Clapboard?

Clapboard is a Screen and Webcam recorder which allows you to create, edit and share videos in minutes. Also, it is a great way to effectively communicate your ideas, to customers, and to keep them updated on all latest company developments.

Let us see how it's done in these 3 easy-peasy steps:

1. Record
Nobody likes to listen to a Bot or to read through dozens upon dozens of emails. Companies and customers, when associating with a new business, equally look for a touch of humanity. Using the Clapboard, you can easily record yourself and give your customers every little piece of information in a more humanized manner. When you choose to directly involved with your customers, you make the entire process more interactive and delightful.

2. Share
From social networks to websites, everyone loves a good video!

Videos are engaging, exciting an entertaining. So why type and complicate matters when you can quickly reply through videos? Say it-show it, all at once, and straight away share it with a link.

3. Analyze
Once you have recorded and shared videos, you can track how people are engaging with them, using the StoryXpress Analytics Platform. Below mentioned are some of the metrics to track:

1. View count

2. Play rate

3. Engagement

4. Social sharing

5. Click-through rate

6. Conversion rate

7. Feedback

Ugh, this is going to get tedious, you're obviously feeling defensive for some reason. Please try not to be.

MSSQL does not munge data if the column is not equipped for it, I have no idea about sybase. You can test this easily by making an int column and putting a maxint+1 in.. it will tell you "NO" and not insert anything.

MSSQL supports schema changes in transactions, fully, again, not sure about sybase. MySQL 8 might support it /sometimes/ but the major concern I had with this fact is that MySQL doesn't tell you it's going to break its transaction isolation. -- it just commits in the middle of your transaction and moves on.

My final point is mitigated somewhat by MySQL "Strict" mode, which nobody enables.

I have very limited internet but this video should explain/show the behaviour I'm referencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emgJtr9tIME
If every single transaction in the world was Bitcoin it would still be a _ridicilous_ amount of energy by several orders of magnitude. It is totally, fundamentally, broken
I'm not sure of you have notice, but your parents are the same species as the rest of the people around them and fit in the same ecological niche. There is, of course no wholy correct answer about 'how many centuries back you draw the line', but broadly speaking, pragmatically, it is worth planting plants that help support the rich web of ecological connections that the locality supports. The longer established the plant in the ecology, the more likely it is that some species' caterpillar will live in it, or that there will be a pollinating insect that spends on its shape of flower, or there will be a bird that will like its fibres to build a nest etc.

These are things worth nurturing.
And hype-driven development practises in startups.

"Humans are a form of "good" so is capital and natural resources"

Exporting humans is generally a bad thing for the exporting country (brain drain), exporting goods is generally a good thing. Goods can have tariffs applied, how would that work for humans. Immigration is much more politicised than free trade. 3 reasons why they aren't the same.

"Says who ? it depends on enforceability"

You could say that about anything. Murder is illegal, that needs to be enforced.

"ask any Indian or any Brit who lived through the Empire"
What has that got to do with anything? Did they have minimum wage legislation during the days of the empire? Because they didn't in Britain.

"Minimum wage is just a form of price control"
And what's that got to do with anything. Why are you getting all Randian, when you were complaining about me being pro free market in your last comment?

"Its awfully convenient to sit atop 400 years of plunder and loot and claim fair treatment and 'free market'"

So Italians should be apologising for what the Romans did, and Mongolians for what Mongols did, and don't get me started on the Germans. I'm sure India has it's fair share of dark chapters, its history, I wasn't born, my Parents weren't born, and my Grandparents who were born when India was in the empire are now dead, get over it.

PS I didn't 'claim free trade' or 'fair treatment', try reading my first post again, and my explanation of what I said in my 2nd post.
The feature you are looking for already partially exists. Look for "extended attributes" (for most filesystems) or "alternate data streams" (for NTFS).

But in this case, it's much simpler to make a tar or a zip with the HTML and all necessary files. eg. that's how Python "eggs" work.

It looks reasonably easy - the main thing you're looking for local file headers that are referenced multiple times by the central directory.

This is not invalid itself of course - some compression programs likely deduplicate files with this technique. But if it seems excessive, or it's the only thing in the archive then you've got a zip bomb.

You could probably come up with some techniques to obfuscate this of course but it'll increase the size of the archive.
That may be true, my bar may be low. I started with early BSD and Linux in 1996, and have been happy with minimal, cheap, and command line ever since.

My experience or expectations others may not share. I didn't truly consider that when writing the blog post.

The stuff I complain about is probably less than 5% of the entire experience. So, almost all the time OpenBSD is out of my way and I go about doing what I did with a Linux workstation.

It is mostly web browser and terminals for me, with random apps here and there like gimp or something.

I'm learning kernel and assembly programming and penetration testing, so my use case probably differs from the average user experience, I'd guess.

I'm just a geek enjoying geeking out :)

Yep, that was Wing Commander IIRC.
Every day I hate more theses big corporations that treat us like fucking sheeps, rebellion is a duty in our time !
You get confused because you're not used to it. It gets less confusing the more you see it used. There are some cases where it introduces unnecessary confusion but the same is true for any other pronoun.

There are some proposed non-binary or gender neutral pronouns but none of them seem to be in use much.

I’m not sure that there is a meaningful action to solve these problems that the public would actually take. It would require reducing our agricultural output, which would mean producing less, more expensive food.
To play devils advocate.. is this really true? Or do we just only hear about bans/reinstatements from people who are "able to attract attention"?
Maybe your modern car windshield glass is less sticky. Maybe your modern car aerodynamics is better and insects just fly around.

I think it's a great one. Thank you for sharing! :)
Considering singular they has been in common use for centuries[0], changing it now would be an uphill struggle. People have used words like "ze" but they haven't caught on.

It's definitely a product design failure, but is the failure on their end or the Pi Foundation's end?

Every major board revision the Foundation ships has seemingly no upgrade path, the amount of things that breaks every time they move Debian versions is unacceptable.

The real product design failure seems to be building upon the Pi at all.
It's kind of odd, because people seem to accept singular "they" for strangers, but not once there's a name.

If I say: "I bumped into a stranger on the street and trod on their toes, apologised to them, and they apologised to me" - generally (in normal spoken conversation, not here when we're paying attention) people don't care. Using singular "they" for strangers is pretty common, and hundreds and hundreds of years old.

The problem comes when we give someone a name. If I say: "I bumped into Julie on the street and trod on their toes, apologised to them, and they apologised to me", people might think it sounds odd (if they're not used to it).

It's as if we have an order/hierarchy in which we expect to learn information about people. Like, by the time we know someone's name, we assume we should already have been told their gender, and we confused if hasn't happened yet.
Loved your comment.
I have showdead turned on and always read the dead comments. Sometimes it's a mystery why they're dead (user isn't banned, not seemingly rude or controversial) and I always think it might have been an accidental swarm of down-voting mis-clicks by just enough random users.
Honestly, if that's all that took you to give up on programming, it would not have gone on much longer anyway, especially with something like C++.

Finally!!!

I don't mind the touchbar, rather the quality where dust particles break it down.
Finally! It took four years to admit there is something wrong. And one more year to change upcoming laptops. - It‘s unbelievable how this crap could be released. Coming from a ThinkPad to a MBP in 2015 I was even disappointed by the keyboard of the MBP 2015. Then switching to a MBP 2018 I was shocked how much worse things could get (for the sake of thinness?)

My own personal change to a lower level of consumption is driven by a modified form of greed: spend less, invest more, retire earlier. Even if my investments aren’t as profitable as I’d hoped, my lower level of consumption is still going to be easier to sustain on whatever income I have than a stereotypical German one, let alone the middle-class American level I grew up with.

Practical example: the lawn of our townhouse looks awful. Instead of doing the very spendy thing of hiring a gardening service to fix it, or the still spendy thing of replanting with lawn grass, I’m doing a bit of research to find something that won’t require much ongoing maintenance, will improve the soil (nitrogen-fixing), and will make pollinating insects happy.
The most upsetting thing for me is, that YT acts in both legislative and executive functions here.

It's one thing to make a rule, to ban "hacking techniques".

But there should be an independent party who get's to decide whether a particular video is about "hacking techniques" or not.

> Is teaching kids how to use wireshark(1) already hacking?

> How about the Chrome dev-console?

The current state of things, where:

a) a proprietary algorithm decides if a rule is violated or not and

b) you have no way to appeal decisions taken by YT,

is appalling.

Update: Well, there appears to be a YT-internal process to appeal censoring decisions. But who knows how well that works. In the past, appealing to copyright take-downs was practically impossible.
Touchbar:

Needs to always be on

I need to run Windows workstation and server VMs, too. (In the screenshot, I show Windows).

Additionally, the Linux VM cons with vmd are off-putting, but I'll be getting them working. I even saw a blog post about running docker containers on linux on vmd. So, I'm going to try that out soon :D
>OpenBSD is a fantastic operating system, but it is not a good choice as virtualization host.

I like the idea of the computer that I physically interface with being extremely secure. Considering everything I do with virtualization is through a shell and little I do works without the Internet, accepting a bit of extra inconvenience to have that security seems like a decent trade-off.

It's perfectly standard. You're probably already accustomed to using it for a person whose identity you don't know, unless you walk around saying things like "I hope this person comes back to get his or her umbrella."
Touchbar: Never use it. Reprogrammed my keys to have Esc mapped on Caps (if it‘s hit alone) and Ctrl (it if is hit in combination with other keys).
So you would say that braking to maintain distance to the car in front isnt part of cruise control? Because that's what we are talking about.

I don't think cruise control has to include active braking, if the feature is included, and from what the GP is suggesting, is activated with the cruise control, isnt it part of cruise control.
HasThisTypePatternTriedToSneakInSomeGenericOrParameterizedTypePatternMatchingStu
Thank goodness. MacBooks are the best laptops in many respects, but I had to cross them off the buy list due to the keyboard. I understand it's controversial, but for me I've spent plenty of time using the butterfly keyboard and it just doesn't feel comfortable to me. And I'm not some mechanical keyboard purist, actually my favorite keyboard of all time was the previous chicklet keyboard. A runner up for me is a travel Bluetooth keyboard with round keys that Logitech makes.
I wonder what's the worst possible scenario, having access to your home security cameras or more like using the email and password.
This is what happens when you have no real public space on the Internet. Corporations will hide under the guise of private property.

We really need to redefine the public space on the Internet.
But in basic terms of getting from A to B without a car, for most A and B it is a lot more practical in London.

I've been thinking about this and to be fair London has a much higher daily influx population than Sydney, from much further distances. The sheer volume of commuters will be funding all this transport, way in excess of the population of London itself.
Yeah, to be clear, OpenBSD seemed to have the best support for this particular laptop.

If it had been another laptop, I'm not sure I would have done OpenBSD. I would have done the same testing with Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD and chose the best one for me from that testing.

I don't find the laptop ugly, but then again I don't truly have an opinion of how it looks. I got it to replace my old laptop, and since I couldn't decide what more expensive laptop to get yet, I'm working with this one for now. I wasn't expecting it to be performant and acceptable to me for $200, you know.
EFF warns people of the dangers of using Slack
> Are you saying that no-one should report anything because it encourages them to let bugs slide into production?

No, of course not :) That would indeed be absurd. What I meant was this particular case. Apple of all companies is by no means incapable of hiring people to deliver quality. They make billions upon billions by avoiding taxes[0] and shifting production to deleloping countries [1]. If a company like this learns that it can externalize QA even more, they will do so. We are not talking about social contract like situtions here, this isn't open source software.

So what was I supposed to do with no expert on hand and no Internet? I went back to the bookshop and asked there. They didn't know either, so I returned the book.

I returned to programming when I learned about Quickbasic. That just worked and had an extensive help system that was suitable for self study.
I inherited a pile of Mad magazines as a kid in South Africa. Some of the content was confusing to me as I had little concept of some US terms, i.e. I had no idea which season 'Fall' is, or that a character complains about the temperature being in the eighties (celcius vs fahrenheit).

Just yesterday I recalled an old joke in an old copy of Mad. It was a top ten list of songs that are about violence. One of the songs listed was Sting and the Police, "Don't stab so close to me". Still laughing about that now.

I would say it’s more that “they” is used for individuals when the subject is specified previously in the sentence or conversation. In your example sentence, “the stranger” clarifies this. If the sentence were simply “They bumped into me on the street.” it is unclear if the subject is singular or plural.

There are a few variants on how to do a closed loop system. OpenAPS is phone agnostic and everything runs on a RaspberryPi.

I myself use Loop. It's an iOS app that uses a RF-to-BT bridge to talk with the pump and intercepts the CGM reading from the official Dexcom app (there are forks that support different methods, being the Dexcom source the "official" one). The bridge is the size of a 9V battery, I never stopped to see which processor uses but it's probably 8 bit.

Each system support different pumps, sometimes people want to use one but are stuck with a different one to be able to use their pumps.

Exactly. People here always seem to assume that its power consumption will increase linearily the more people it use (from what the whole network consumes now).

But in the future, the amount of energy consumed for a single transaction will tend towards exactly the fee paid for that transaction multiplied by the cheapest electricity price in the world.

So either the transaction fees will be outlandish, or for a transaction that costs $0.10 you will consume roughly 2kWh.
