Deleting the copy constructor is a very arbitrary design devision without any good reason.

Move semantics are a can of worms in themselves. You assume in your comment that you can modify the other types that interact with the types that are only movable. This is only possible if you own all relevant types, which is actually the exception rather than the norm. And even if you own the relevant related types, move semantics transitively enforce themselves onto containing types which turns their introduction into sprawling mess of cascading changes with hidden surprises.
I’m not an accountant but I’ve heard that accountants often use number frequencies to look for fraud. IIRC, amounts of money starting with 9 are less likely. Looking at those kinds of distributions in the world can maybe show influence of non normal factors.
> 1. Amazon requires you to sell your products at the price that is not higher than at any other channel you use to sell.

That is no longer the case, Amazon dropped the price parity requirement on US marketplace in March 2019 (and in EU in 2013).

However, I read recently that some sellers have instead started receiving notifications that they have been suppressed from buy box for selling at lower price elsewhere.
Thank you for pulling out the data. That's a cool site.
The demographic seems off to me for this: How much revenue is there to make from a customer that willingly spends their time watching ads? Is that the person you want to invest in? What's the ROI of paying people to watch your ads?
For a few years now, every road construction project near my Amsterdam home has removed car lanes. Also parking. Usually the freed space goes to protected cycle paths, but sidewalks, trees, and playgrounds sometimes win some new space as well.

(N.b. there is a plan to add a lane to portions of the outer ring highway, so "more car lanes to reduce traffic" still has some advocates.)

> These people have significantly different mind and way of using products (especially tech products), than mass market.

I think the point the article is trying to make is the high-expectation customers have or quickly find a way that definitely works for them. Whereas the typical customer will poke at it, say it doesn't work, and move on.

From a design standpoint, you want to start with an overall system that definitely works with some motivation and then solve the problems that block other customers from using it.

And I think it's implicit in their argument that you won't solve these problems for everyone who could potentially use the product, and that's a business tradeoff you have to make.
The Use of Dots as Brackets in Church's System (Alan Turing, 1942)
Ok, so your position is:

- the speech is bad

- Cloudflare's action is ethical.

- Other CDNs are also ethical for not banning it.

- Government shouldn't ban it even though the speech is bad.

- You are okay with the speech being hosted elsewhere.

We aren't talking about a grey area here. We are talking about promoting mass-shooting. Every sane person, including you and me, agrees the speech is extremely bad.

Wouldn't you want it to be banned everywhere?

This is the main point I'm trying to drive. We are somehow oddly satisfied that the speech is banned on CloudFlare.

Shouldn't we try to get this specific speech banned everywhere?
It looks like no one in that thread could dig up any experimental evidence for it. Manufacturer recommendations are not to be trusted.

This looks like a job for some identical knives, some knife-use simulator robots, several dishwashers with a standardized typical load, hand-washing sinks, a pile of dishwasher detergent, a pile of hand-wash detergent, and an objective measurement device for knife sharpness.

My essential laziness (and lack of research grant money) prevents me from conducting the experiment myself, however. I'll just take my chances with the dishwasher.
TLABs are definitely possible but it's increasing the implementation complexity.

Places are deliberately shared-nothing to reduce the implementation complexity and provide a simple model to the user. Process oriented code can be easily ported.

Porting something like a Sidekiq based worker using ActiveRecord to work inside a Guild where all access to shared objects needs to be frozen would be a nightmare.

With Racket Places you can share more complex types but it needs to be done via FFI. It doesn't prevent you from implementing a sharable connection pool or anything.

Exactly.

I recently bought a razer blade stealth through amazon, but the speakers were messed up and there was coil whine. I installed the recommended firmware upgrade but that caused Linux to crash with non-standard ACPI behavior. I decided to go through razer support because I know it's better for them.

After over a week and maybe ten hours of emailing back and forth with support, I was asked to reinstall windows and see if that worked... Instead, I just clicked a few buttons on amazon and dropped the laptop off at the local UPS store and was done in ~20min.

There's a reason Amazon is in its current position. If I had bought from the razer store directly, I would've had an even worse time.

> That £100 that is loaned out, hasn't appeared from the ether, its my £100 that I deposited.

It's not. It's hard to believe at first but the bank just write +£100 in your account and that's essentially it. The bank can loan £100 before you deposit them. The £100 you deposited were loaned to your employer by another bank.

The deposits don't fuel the loans, the loans fuel the deposits.
Yev here -> Yea, the HGST drives continue to do really well for us, but at around 2% the Seagates are no slouches - especially when you consider the sample size. That's a pretty darn good ROI from drives that also tend to be a bit less expensive!
Mine uses Pebble and Tasker (with AutoPebble to mediate between the two). It works like this (there's no easy way to export something that's not an XML dump full of bloat, so I'll just describe it):

- Profile: every 13 minutes
between 08:00 and 23:00
- Launch task: Request time log

- Profile: on command from AutoPebble
- Launch task: Log time

- Task: Request time log
- Show a screen on Pebble via AutoPebble
- Type: List
- Contents: %OPTIONS
- Vibration pattern: 300, 200, 300

- Task: Log time
- Save "%DATE, %RESPONSE" into a CSV file.

- Variable: %OPTIONS
- hn, work, eating, foodprep, hobbyproj, ...

Running a tool like this on smartwatch is a win, because it's minimally distracting, and easy to use for everything I do daily. As said elsewhere, I picked 13 minutes to have something below 15 minutes that won't accidentally overlap with periodic tasks or generate regular patterns on the clock. I used to have a bit of randomization in there (skip Request time log if random%2 == 0), but it turned out to be more annoying than useful, as it would frequently miss an hour worth of data.

I made it one afternoon in a grand total of ~30 minutes (including debugging and testing). It requires no Internet connection, doesn't spy on me, I can use it anywhere I am as long as I have my phone in my pocket, I get to own my data in a machine-readable format, which I can trivially send out to my desktop for processing later. Overall, it's a win, and just an example of Tasker being amazingly useful tool in general.

EDIT:

Some extra use notes:

- The logged time is the time I selected an option on my smartwatch, so if I delay or miss a time log request, nothing bad happens. I don't expect my CSV to have perfectly regular entries.

- If I don't select an option in 13 minutes, the prompt will be overwritten by new one; again, nothing bad happens.

- To add, change or remove options, I simply edit the %OPTIONS variable on my phone.

- In the rare case when I select a wrong option, I pull up my phone and use nano in Termux session to quickly edit the CSV directly.
Hm. I've been in the practice of figuring out plain old URLs to use as hrefs for social share. No JS. No loading of images or other content from the third party social network.

This, when it is doable, of course provides no tracking (until/unless a user clicks the share button anyway) with no need for "two clicks" -- the remote site receives no network traffic at all unless you click the button, it's just an ordinary static link.

I have generally been able to figure this out for major social network sites, either from documentation, third-party documentation, or watching HTTP requests made by the 'official' JS solution. I guess it's possible it violates the "ToS" of the remote site to do this, although I'm not sure ToS can really restrict my linking to the site with a URL. I guess this technique could be more subject to breakage, if the remote site changes it's URL patterns, and the "official" (JS/tracking) solution from the remote site is updated, but I'm not using that.

So there are potential downsides -- but I'm curious which of them (or something I'm not thinking of) leads people to a more complex (and slightly worse UX) solution like this, instead of just using static URLs.
I think we should also understand the cause of this deficiency.

E.g. the increased CO2 may be causing the bulk of the plant to grow bigger while the overall production of nutrients remains stable (nitrogen-limited ?) resulting in a lower concentration.

Adapting fertilisers might improve this. Or not.

Very few micro and mini quads have this functionality.

Return To Home functionality is common any medium and larger RC aircraft intended for FPV flying.

Often fixed wing RC with RTH functionality won't attempt to land, it return to home and enter a circular holding pattern until contact is re-established or the battery fails.
I’m still on 15 Mbps at my home, for $30/month. I haven’t found the need to upgrade even though according to the FCC, I don’t even have “broadband” (defined as 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up). I don’t often hear people complain that their internet is too slow, only that it’s too expensive. I hope that more bandwidth translates to cheaper internet, but it seems like the past 10 years my ISP has had the business model of raise the price and the speed at the same time and remove slower tiers of service, basically forcing people to pay for speeds that they never use.
I haven't read the full paper yet, but the 'Executive summary' section seems quite explicit that the findings relate to the internet specifically; that is, does "the internet" increase radicalization as opposed to other non-internet venues?

But that isn't the point you're replying to; the point you're replying to is about "these boards" (ie. these venues), and makes no mention of their internet-ness being a factor.

The report, crucially, does therefore not seem to contradict the post you're replying to, as that post is about radicalization in mixed-topic venues in general; this one just happens to be on the internet.
We have to accept we at this point are unable to address reality. There is a side not acting in good faith, and it is at a time where pressure will rapidly ramp up from that very reality, what will be blamed will be witchcraft, the others and everything else. But addressing reality would destroy their identity.

I think the author is remembering 15 years ago when the first satellite internet companies existed. I remember trying to play Warcraft 3 at a friend's house in the country and having 2-3 second pings.

Those companies were using Geosynchronous satellites so that dishes could point at a single spot in the sky. Unfortunately, geosynchronous orbit is at a height of 35,786 km. That means almost 120ms just to reach the satellite, plus another 120ms to get the signal back down to earth, then your request hitting the real internet and another 240ms to get back to you over the same two satellite hops.

SpaceX's Starlink will be <1000 km up in low earth orbit, so somewhere under 5ms away at speed of light. For any transmission across an ocean, Starlink will be much faster (so you just know high speed trading companies will be big customers). How much bandwidth it offers remains to be seen.

Yes, and so they would want to hold the federal debt. And also find ways to increase it. The GP post relates to China selling the debt to disentangle from USD.

There is a big difference between domain squatting and domain investing. Or simply buying domains that drop.

I don’t understand how you can say that it’s “domain squatting” on “your” name if you don’t own a trademark on the word or on your name. As others have pointed out, there may be other people who have the same name as you. How is it your name versus their name? My definition of domain squatting is buying a domain name that already has a trademark on it. The “rule” states that even if a word has a trademark, if someone bought the domain before the tm holder applied for the tm, then the domain owner still can own the domain. As long as it was not registered in bad faith.

The key here is “bad faith”.

Python scripts are no longer necessary to grab expired domains, that’s what backorder services are for. I recommend backordering the names of all your current sites just in case you fail to renew the name. Backorder it on multiple services, as it truly is a race to see which service gets it.

The issue isn't that the OOM killer is too aggressive and killing the consoles or shells you're trying to use to rescue your system. The issue is that when you're trashing, the system becomes unresponsive; it's hard to recover the system because it takes many minutes to even just switch to a TTY.
That is amazing.

I really wouldn't have expected this to work but once you read about it.... of course it would.

This is one of those things that while there maybe wasn't a 'problem' shows how knowing a few things critical, you can really solve problems / come up with solutions that nobody would have ever thought of (well I wouldn't have...).
What do you mean? They generate billions in revenue. Are you saying they aren’t ahead of every company you mentioned except Amazon? Microsoft as a whole would be ahead too, but you only mentioned LinkedIn. Verizon Media is certainly ahead of those.
I find that there's a huge amount of discussion that basically amounts to definitional disagreements. I'll cede definitions like "monopoly" for the sake of a discussion and continue to use them otherwise.

The trouble is those are uninteresting questions. "Is Amazon a monopoly?" immediately takes the more interesting discussion "what should we do about the size of Amazon" off the table and leaves us to bicker about what words mean. We likely won't reach an agreement about what officially constitutes a monopoly, but we can reason about what we should do in the future.

I've had highly divergent experience with WD drives.

My home system using WD Reds has been great. It is larger than a normal home storage box (24 drives), and it gets substantially more use than normal (backing store for a bunch of VMs, mostly). I've replaced one drive in five and a half years.

Contrast with storage servers built for work with WD Golds. Those are 45 drives each and used for database backup workloads. We replace about a drive a quarter (of the 90 total), and this has been pretty consistent for a bit over two years.

Not sure if I got great Reds or if Golds are just terrible, but that's what I've seen.
As in using it a single time - I guess maybe at most 2/3 pages from one design?
I think they would aim for $10-$15 per unit.

These buyers probably set a price floor for the lowest end of the market, between barely usable and the shredder.

They probably get some bulk deals from recyclers for the Grade D units.

Might even be able to make some Grade A or B units for resale if they have lots of parts.
Very old folks can start to lose decision making capabilites. It has nothing to do with IT knowledge. It's why mostly old people fall victim to email and phone scams and refuse to believe the truth even after you show them mountains of evidence.

I doubt I'd upgrade again anytime soon. I've reached a point where my internet speed's bits per second has exceeded my ability to consume data.
I would say that enough land is spent on livestock feed that if we switched to meatless diets we would likely be able to feed everyone. There are regions only suited to food for livestock but most of the world imports food making it not an issue. The regions that don’t import food that tend to eat more meat from necessity are also likely to be the places that don’t contribute to overuse of land for livestock food.

It's a somewhat common trick I believe. The idea is this; you want newlines inbetween your tags, but if you have HTML code like `<div>foo</div>\n<div>bar</div>`, you end up with an unwanted text node with a space inbetween the divs which changes how the page looks. By putting the newline inside the tags instead of between them, you don't have any unwanted text nodes.
