It is worth noting that Tumblr was an indirect acquisition by Verizon when they bought Yahoo in 2017.

It seems to have had stable unique views up until Aug-Sep 18 [1]. At some point it suffered from country-wide bans in places such as Indonesia. The country bans coupled with a ban from the iOS App store [2] caused direct downward pressure on viwership. This has led to a rapid drop in viewership in the months after [3]. Considering the amount of legislation towards telecom companies and the potential risk to the Verizon brand by proxy, it was imperative that the company would sell Tumblr.

Due to the current political environment in the US, it is unlikely that Automattic will open the gates that partially made Tumblr what it was in the 17-18 era for the next 3-6 months, that is unless they take a very conservative take on reviewing that kind of content prior to it being posted.

This is exciting news!
I totally agree that good compostability and keeping things simple is good.

I don't see the relation to the Title's reference (how our working memory can only hold ~7 different items). Those studies are about distinct short term individual items.

This has nothing to do with programming abstractions, those aren't kept in our working memory (not like they seem to be describing). It's not like we can only remember 7 different methods at once.
I've been wondering if you could trade successfully just by shorting literally everything Oath buys into. Their acquisition list is basically just a subset of the Startup Graveyard at this point.
It's probably a good idea to evaluate the consequences. By all means, do not take the popular narrative at face-value, but it would probably be informative to investigate the details behind implementing the barriers. The full moon offers opportunities to minimize risk.

> I, for one, would welcome a git clone (hah!) built to the core OpenBSD quality standard, but it seems unlikely that anyone cares enough to do that.

That would be got(1). Since yesterday version 0.3, 0.4 and then 0.5 was "released". It's still in early development but good enough for a casual user like me to import the OpenBSD src and start using it. Created some commits, branches, performed rebases. Looks great, but still some rough edges. Also tog(1) is great.
I love my Ryobi tools too! Just, I've assumed given their price-point, they aren't built for day in and day out needs of a contractor.
I went in with high hopes of quality resources but I was met with one of those guide selling sites. I never knew exactly what it was trying to sell me either.
In my experience as a recovering behavior addict, the difficulty partially lies in a lot of cultural concepts around addiction, recovery, and learning that run counter to what science tells us about learning. "Instantaneous recovery" is described as a random chance event, as opposed to possibly the outcome of someone who's got a better grip on how to grow because they were missing a single piece of wisdom that, when acquired or acted on, led to cascading network effects in the brain.
Do you have any links or details about this technique? It sounds interesting and I'd like to learn more.
‘Please break things’: Hackers lay siege to voting systems to spot weaknesses
Small shards (in great numbers) that according to a witness on the ground were burning or very hot sounds a lot like (pieces of) blades from the turbine or stator/guide vanes. In both cases it's a very significant engine failure.
The DMV made a mistake, they know it, and they aren't fixing it. In this case, the problem is relatively inconsequential but it is an institutional failure. The DMV is a government agency which is, at least in theory, somewhat indirectly accountable to the people. Which means that if they're treating one particular citizen unfairly, one option that citizen has is publicly shaming them. (Another option is to file a lawsuit. That's more work, though.)

As I see it, this person is performing a public service by not budging on this. It's nowhere near on the same level as Rosa Parks not going to the back of the bus, but sometimes we need people to not simply go with the flow because it's the easiest thing to do.
Tumblr consolidated into Yahoo's office space last year, whatever the cost is is likely a rounding error on Verizon/Oath/Yahoo's balance sheet.
I have never once seen someone say that it's irresponsible for security engineers to point out flaws in software. Indeed, "responsible disclosure" often includes disclosing bugs even though they haven't yet been fixed when the developer isn't responding. There are problems with the term, but this isn't one of them.
For anyone who'd want to know more, this is the textbook I used in a CS theory class where I first learned about the Chomsky connection: Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Michael Sipser (https://www.amazon.com/dp/113318779X/ref=rdr_ext_tmb).

The 500e I had, I think 2014 version, had a serious reliability issue. Its electric system failed me multiple times. One time the car just suddenly stalled in the middle of the San Mateo bridge. I love the look of the car, but maybe the fact that they don't want to make it (but have to) leads to them putting less resource on QA?
> Yet another reason the real answer to the climate crisis isn't EVs

If our objective is to significantly reduce carbon emissions from people moving from point 'A' to point 'B', fully electric vehicles are a red herring solution. It's more realistic and cheaper to focus on plug-in hybrids. That way you can achieve 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from driving 4-wheeled vehicles without requiring new infrastructure or requiring people to drastically change their habits.

But what did he do if the other car had already left when he returned? It's much more than a bit of an asshole thing to do.
This explains a lot for me! I have terrible working memory in general, but in our psych classes when they did the memory experiment on the classroom I could only ever remember ~4 items instead of the expected 7 to 8.
Interesting choice of words. Suing a bank is not the sort of thing you do because you're curious what will happen.

For one, the tags aren't necessary -- you know what belongs at any point, and for OPTIONAL/DEFAULT elements all you need to know is whether they are present or absent (that's one bit, or a byte if you're not aiming to be more space efficient).

Definite-lengths greatly complicate encoding. The easiest way to encode DER is "backwards", starting the end of a SEQUENCE and working your way backwards. That's a bit of a pain.

Definite-lengths add lots of mostly-unnecessary redundancy.

For constrained-range integers, the best thing to do is to encode them as whatever number of octets are needed to encode the constrained range. For structures (SEQUENCE) and arrays (SEQUENCE/SET OF) indefinite length encoding is much easier to encode. Decoding is easy because you just decode the fields -- a terminator shouldn't be needed (though I know BER uses terminators, but that's a design flaw in the BER family of encoding rules, not a complete necessity.

Definite-length encodings or terminator encodings are mostly only needed for strings and extensibility holes (OCTET STRINGs, extensibility markers), but they can be the exception rather than the rule, and thus simplify things.
You keep answering this question with an unrelated question. Like I said: phishing works and is too easy to accomplish. That isn't an answer to the question I just asked you.

Yeah, see, everyone wants to get to that point where they ve seen enough that "everything becomes the same". You wouldn't say the same if you hadnt been to any of them.

or it stopped growing through google discovery, but its core base had it bookmarked, visited it through autocomplete, or used the app. google search results going down doesnt necessarily mean active users went down.

App store bans and country bans should be better indicators.
Functors enable the Fix functor and, from there, the whole universe of recursion schemes, so I'm not sure that I agree that they're not useful on their own.

The last one I made had only sauteed mushroom, jalapeno, goat cheese, salt, pepper, and eggs and I overcooked it. The pan was a non-stick pan and I used butter.
And yet, public transportation is not the same. Americans love their cars because we are a very independent people who appreciate the ability to go where we want, when we want. An EV could at least conceivably be a replacement, though that will be difficult until they can charge in a time comparable to that of a gas station fueling and go as long or longer. I don't want to have to plan around some schedule set by a committee.

Issue number two: other people. Public transportation is not as nice as a car because you are not insulated from others. I can run my AC nice and high and listen to a pod cast in peace and quiet in my car, even if I've got to deal with jostling cars on the outside. In a train/bus/etc, you never know what you'll get. Half the time there's some one with music blasting, or cussing loudly. The other half they guy next to me smells awful or takes two seats because he's a land whale. If by some miracle neither of those things is true, all the seats are taken. Public transportation sucks,

I like my car, and see no personal reason to switch to a less-comfortable and less-available form of transportation for the sake of some one else's political win.
Trains don’t work in suburbs not because of space limitations - there just aren’t enough paying customers per mile of track to make the economics work.
In the UK we fixed this by making it a legal requirement for the owner of the car to identify the driver (obviously unless there's a valid reason you can't, such as it being stolen).

Two MPs have actually been caught out by this law, convicted of perverting the course of justice and sent to prison:

He's probably spent the least amount of time dealing with politics but it's what grabs him the most attention. This also causes lots of people to dislike him for no good reason; there was a VC on twitter recently who basically said his work on linguistics and politics have been debunked and then proceeded block a few engineers who (rightly) pointed out his considerable contributions to PLT.

If it is flooding that frequently, I wonder if there is any required proof that things were fixed up since the last flood?

Seems like the owner is likely just making cheap patches and then waiting for the next flood to collect another payment.

Otherwise, I can't imagine anyone wanting to go through that every year.
I was on a SAR mission a couple of years ago for a lost aircraft outside of Truckee, CA. In that case, there was flight radar data available for most of the flight path, Civil Air Patrol was out in force with multiple overhead flyovers, CHP and Air National Guard were also out, we were receiving intermittent ELT signals, there were hundreds of ground searchers and UTVs/ATVs/snowmobiles, and all of our search activity was recorded and coordinated through a well-organized incident command with specific search assignments for each day.

We still failed to locate the aircraft. It was found a month or so later by some random recreationalists.

Any number of circumstances may have prevented it from being spotted the first time. It's far, far harder to locate missing aircraft than most people realize.
I settled for a pittance (a lot for a kid, but nothing for the lawsuit) and then they continued after the big player. So, just being in association with a larger player can be dangerous if you aren't protected well. (my lesson learned)

Examine.com is the most legit and reputable place to get information on niche supplements especially some of the ones at the fringes.

It would be a huge disservice to the internet and those seeking research information if they dropped from Google indexes.
Yeah their list of "researchers" doesn't exactly inspire confidence. There would appear to be a single degree in a related field amongst all of them.
I thoroughly enjoy UI/client development, but the web app tooling (layer upon layer that is supposed to "fix" HTML/CSS/JS every few years) is frustrating to me. Thus, I avoid it like the plague. :)

To be fair, the JS ecosystem I think is a bit more tolerable than Python. JS isn't being promoted far and wide as the good-enough tool for everything like Python is. A lot of JS is focused on the "view", and I can see a dynamic language fitting there (though React/Redux is making me rethink that).
I can't find figures for UK but MSRP for Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild were both $60.

>Yet, taxis in Colombia are incredibly dangerous

It's anecdotal however, this doesn't correlate to my experience(s) there at all. I lived in Colombia from 2013-2015, and return various times per year. For what it's worth, I am not hispanic, and very much look like someone from the US

I've taken yellow taxis in Colombia (in all the major cities) more times than I can count(both by myself and with others) and have never once felt in any danger, nor been ripped off (which has happened to me in other countries I have visited)

Of course there are news reports about taxi rides gone wrong, but in my experience 99.9% of yellow taxi drivers in Colombia are honest people just trying to do their job.

More than happy to answer questions about living in Colombia if anyone's interested.
compiler/IDE would complain about "unused local variable"
This completely misses the point of a search engine. The ability to game SEO has nothing to with relevance or content quality.

If a random supplement information website's most lucrative monetization path would be to game SEO instead of doing what they're nominally supposed to do (i.e. provide quality content), the problem doesn't lie with the the content owner but rather with the search engine and the incentives it promotes.

John is a pompous jerk who likes to misinterpret half-truths, scream persecution, and then block people when called out rather than admit fault. And if ever called on it he silently deletes his tweets instead of acknowledging his actions or faults.

source: he blocked me years ago for precisely this. also, coincidentally, when he was screaming persecution once prior.

Settings Manager: on my machine I can configure it to have the tree view in its hamburger "settings" button, at runtime; no recompile required. Experimenting with it however I personally prefer the default "sidebar" style, as I can see more sections at once - the hierarchies don't pay for their overhead in my opinion.

Similarly, I don't think you can chalk the change in Virtual Desktop interface up to optimizing for mobile at the expense of desktop. You still have a spinner for "rows", so it's not like it's an effort to get rid of spinners. I think it's more likely to do with trying to help users organize and categorize their activities, which is an angle they've been pecking at in various forms for a while. It's not any harder to click "Add" than the up-arrow on a spinner, and it's not any harder to click "-" to delete a desktop than a down-arrow on a spinner; the difference is that now desktops have identity instead of being fungible units, and these labels show up if you hover over the taskbar desktop switcher (a decidedly non-mobile feature, as you can't hover on a touchscreen). You can also jump straight to them with KRunner, which I imagine is great if you have a lot of them. Maybe it's a silly feature, but it doesn't really hurt to let them try - it's not like you're adding desktops all day.

Alt-tab - again, it's trivially configurable with a checkbox "show selected window". I don't think one default is obviously better than another in this case, although now you've pointed it out I think I'll try it unticked for a while. Arguably, changing windows "immediately" is more intuitive for new users. At any rate I don't see the relationship with touch. Yes, I can click on the window thumbnail - a lovely feature! Better than endless cycling when there's many windows open. Incidentally, I found the correct settings page for this by typing "alt-tab" into KRunner - incredible!

Anyway - I don't think making a touch-friendly interface is bad, as long as it's not at the expense of a no-touch interface. I've never felt like the inability to touch my screen has limited my expressive power in Plasma. After all, things which are easy to touch are also easy to click on! There's no real need to make interfaces tiny and fiddly. As for defaults, I wouldn't worry too much about these settings going away. This isn't Gnome - KDE's entire design philosophy is based around configurability.
What don't you like about TOML? It seems to be the best language for simple configuration files. I think YAML is often overkill for basic configuration, and JSON isn't ideal. pipenv's Pipfile is also in TOML.

What config language would you prefer to use instead?
More than that, even if there are tools available for the advertisers to only target specific content they don’t want to be associated with a website that provides content they don’t like. IIRC, this was one of the reasons why Twitch was spun out of Justin.tv— advertisers liked the gaming content but not what was in the other categories.

There's no reason EV policy can't be modified to also enforce uniqueness. In fact, that's what I'd expect if we're only giving EVs to household names.

Banks which have the same name as other banks should change their name, but we should tie EVs for banks to existing financial system institutions. For example, most banks in the US have an FDIC number, so our EV validators in the US can tie a bank to it's FDIC registration, and the user can cross-reference their bank with that as well. Basically if I'm a bank customer, I should have a unique identifier on my check or debit card which can be cross-referenced with the EV cert.

Why not do some research yourself? What do you think are some other contenders for best websites to see compiled research on individual supplements (especially unusual supplements)?

And once you've done this research, will you still believe that Examine's pages rarely deserve to be in the top 10 results on relevant search queries?

It's easy to compare something to abstract perfection, and find it wanting. But if you compare things to actual real alternatives, it's often easier to get a more realistic perspective. (General life principle, in my experience.)
Pretty simple solution: infrastructure investment is handled at the State-level.

If there are infrastructure investments that go beyond a state's borders, you rely upon National-level government to debate and allocate infrastructure investment.

Market failure. Independent actors working for their own self-interest will create a failure in long-term thinking. You address this the same as any other market failure: you create a larger, 3rd party entity which is trusted. This trusted entity allocates funds and makes bigger decisions that the smaller groups of people cannot do efficiently.

We had a Gen 1 Volt for nearly two years. A greatly underrated car in my opinion. No maintenance issues at all, it just worked like it was supposed to. Frankly people are scared of them, we sold ours locally and everyone that looked at it was obsessed with the battery and everything to do with the hybrid features. Our car had a few years left on the GM hybrid component warranty even! It was difficult for people to understand even though the car had 45k miles on it the engine did not (it ran probably 20% of our use). Over the 2 years we owned it we averaged about 75mpg.
Congratulations!
