I know it doesn't help "the 99%", but you can set up your browser to block cookies by default and always block third party cookies.

What I've found is that a small subset of sites don't work without third party cookies (PlayStation store login being the only one I care about) and that a lot of sites don't expect localStorage access to ever fail (eg Codepen, I've had to fix some of my own sites that assumed localStorage access never throws).

The oddest issue I've come across was that LiveJournal would use JavaScript to immediately reload the site if a cookie wasn't detected so I had to disable JavaScript for all of LiveJournal to stop it from getting stuck in a reload loop.
It's funny that K&R chose to have arrays "decay" to pointers, but to allow structs to be passed by value. Thus you can actually pass arrays by value if and only if you wrap them in a struct:

struct foo { char a[5]; };

void f(struct foo x) { x.a[4] = '\0'; printf("%s", x.a); }

int main(void) {
struct foo x;

memcpy(x.a, "too big", sizeof(x.a));

f(x)

printf("%s", x.a); /* read past end of x, crash */

return 0;
}

I'm thankful they didn't make structs decay into pointers!
> It's become an eBay, but without a proper dispute system, and crazy prices.

I have to disagree about the dispute process. My experience as a buyer on Amazon is definitely that the pricing is all over the place, but in every case I've asked for a refund I've received it, and in the majority of cases I've not returned the item, _or_ paid for return shipping.
At least the last time I looked at a jailbroken iOS device, it opened a terminal running bash-3.2 (the same version as on macOS). It's there, you just can't get to it.
Power plants + EVs are much more efficient than ICE cars, even if the power plants are 'dirty', for many reasons: recuperation, the car not spending more energy warming up, thermodynamic efficiency of the engine compared to generator, etc.

Digging up liquefied dinosaurs, shipping them thousands of kilometers all over the world in huge ships, doing crazy chemical things with them, and then burning them in small batches 2500 times a minute ... how could that ever make more sense than using power grid?
It goes out to all the cloudfront edge locations so that generally isn't an issue. That being said anything under 300ms is not going to be very noticeable to most people.
Now I am really surprised. I knew that Xenix was a Unix that belonged to Microsoft, but I didn't know Word worked on a Unix. And I didn't know that Xenix was bought by SCO later. Looked up wikipedia on Xenix [0], and there are a lot of interesting facts in there, that for me put some aspects of the PC and Unix history in new lights. For example:

"Microsoft hopes that XENIX will become the preferred choice for software production and exchange", the company stated in 1981.[8] Microsoft referred to its own MS-DOS as its "single-user, single-tasking operating system",[31] and advised customers that wanted multiuser or multitasking support to buy XENIX.[31][32] It planned to over time improve MS-DOS so it would be almost indistinguishable from single-user XENIX, or XEDOS, which would also run on the 68000, Z8000, and LSI-11; they would be upwardly compatible with XENIX, which BYTE in 1983 described as "the multi-user MS-DOS of the future".[33][34] Microsoft's Chris Larson described MS-DOS 2.0's XENIX compatibility as "the second most important feature".[35] His company advertised DOS and XENIX together, listing the shared features of its "single-user OS" and "the multi-user, multi-tasking, UNIX-derived operating system", and promising easy porting between them.

AT&T started selling System V,[37] however, after the breakup of the Bell System. Microsoft, believing that it could not compete with UNIX's developer, decided to abandon XENIX. The decision was not immediately transparent, which led to the term vaporware.[38] It agreed with IBM to develop OS/2,[4] and the XENIX team (together with the best MS-DOS developers)[citation needed] was assigned to that project. In 1987, Microsoft transferred ownership of XENIX to SCO in an agreement that left Microsoft owning slightly less than 20% of SCO (this amount prevented both companies from having to disclose the exact amount in the event of a SCO IPO). When Microsoft eventually lost interest[clarification needed] in OS/2 as well, the company based its further high-end strategy on Windows NT."

It's not working well in France with the Giletes Jaunes. Basically taxing the suburbs told a large social class of working poor people they have no right to exist. I suppose you could try warehousing them in the projects, but good luck with that.
Come to Atlanta and try it. My upstairs will get 80 degrees in the morning easily. My wife and my offices are upstairs. Luckily I have 2 units so I can balance it. Even if I didn’t use AC I would have mold problems due to humidity. Dehumidifiers also warm up the room they are in. The only plus is I have lots of tree cover in the afternoon.
You say they, but it's only one guy as explained. It's not that he sees art direction as a waste of resources, he sees it as a risk to his future. To expend resources in the art direction he would have to hire more people, and try and ensure the same art style. Which would mean he would need more sales. Plus he would have to upfront these expenses and he might not make it back.

It's an extra risk he doesn't want to his lifestyle that has worked for him for 25 years.
Yep, it’s called stickerless commingled inventory and even buying from Amazon itself doesn’t protect you from counterfeits or worse.

I have. In my opinion it is actually much more secure than Electron since you rely on the browser directly. (And this is why I did it instead of using Electron.)

You do have to add authentication to prevent against dns rebinding but I solved that by adding a random token in the get parameters when I launch the page. (You then cache this inside a cookie.)
There's usually a reasonable sounding justification for word or phrase misuse.

"Wreck havoc" sort of makes sense because something got wrecked and the correct "wreak" is rarely used outside of that phrase.

A "mute point" makes sense because the point is now silent and the correct "moot" is an uncommon word outside legal circles.

People who abuse power need to be "reigned in" because it vaguely sounds like they are acting too much like a king, even though "rein in" is correct and it comes from pulling in the reins of a horse to get it under control.

Just having a reasonable sounding explanation doesn't make it correct.
In Spanish constipado means a cold or having a cold but according to the DRAE constipación de vientre means well… constipation.

Or you could use resfriado which means a cold but also contains the lexical morpheme/root -fri- (frío which means cold) so it might sound nicer and be easier to remember.
GUI based file system navigation is another example where surfacing a tree works well.

> and to iterate the process all the time until it works.

YES! If you aren't able to hack the process, then you aren't agile. Any rule-book driven "agile" isn't agile.

The problem is, to do agile, you need managers that don't have to have a rule book to follow. Those are rare. If you don't have them, then you get somebody's rigid "agile process", but not much actual agility.
I'll bet Swiss Money that Bayer knew exactly what they were getting into before buying and (upper management) decided to go ahead anyway. Presumably they've done the math and think it's worth it, having priced the risk in. Scary thought imho.

Makes sense, thanks for the response. IC resistors are implemented as switched capacitors, but I suppose that's only in amplifiers or other analogue ICs where such a thing is relevant, and there the volume is probably not significant enough to benefit from the size-down?

Anyway, still very significant to get smaller and more efficient discrete capacitors.

I made a project just for this, here's a list of Go and Kubernetes OS projects with instructions and issues for new contributors: https://www.sourcesort.com/?refinementList%5Blanguages%5D%5B...

That search turns up 32 results, but you could narrow that down more according to your needs using the other filters.

Things to check for: how long does it take for new contributors to get responses to their pull request? how many first time pull requests are accepted? (there's a filter for this too if you scroll down)

Before tackling an issue or getting involved, it's a good idea to give a heads up or introduce yourself. You might be able to do this on the GitHub repo or possibly on a mailing list, etc. if they run the project via a separate communication platform.

Good luck!

True, however, it is precisely the stupid linker tricks that make C such an interesting and powerful language nowadays. Weak symbols. Interposition (LD_PRELOAD). dlopen() and friends. Filters. Direct binding / versioned symbols. ELF semantics in general (which make the use of one flat symbol namespace safer).
Implicitly that would mean that Angular and Vue will be replaced as well.

This article also didn't mention that when you order a product that Amazon sells alongside 3rd party vendors who use Amazon fulfillment, they mix inventory. When ordering from Amazon, I always try to buy from Amazon directly when given the option. However, on one or two occasions, I have been delivered items that were clearly used and repackaged but were sold as new by Amazon. The only explanation I've found for this is that Amazon accepts inventory from 3rd parties for fulfillment and mixes that inventory with its own.

I believe Wave was pretty similar to what Slack has become today. It was bringing a lot to the table, but probably too early.

Not too early for users to see the value, but for Google to roll out widely enough to make it a proper social network.

Technology was not mature enough for such an application.

This problem is solved in an interesting way by Keybase Chat, in which messages sent to non-existing accounts are "delivered", and can then be read if that account is created later on. It requires re-keying of the message by the sender, so it's not exactly a "fire and forget" solution, but it's pretty neat anyway.
And when exactly did the news become public? In my experience it usually takes minutes/hours between the event and the mass media covering it. I can bet it isn't insider trading but algorithms reacting to news faster a human can.

The party system has completely perverted the intent of the Electoral College, most centrally by populating it with party loyalists, the worst possible people on earth for this task.

Federalist 68 says Electors were to be deliberative people, people chosen for this task, and not to any preestablished body. Electors chosen from the general mass by their fellow citizens will best be able to carry out "complicated investigations". There is no complication or investigation in the current process! It's 180 degrees from Federalist 68.

Nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue, and corruption. These most deadly adversaries of republican government might naturally have been expected to make their approaches from more than one querter, but chiefly from the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils.

The present system lends itself directly to blackmail because those with all the money both choose Electors, and are Electors. They are not chosen from the general mass, they are not chosen by the people. And further:

They have not made the appointment of the President to depend on any preexisting bodies of men, who might be tampered with beforehand to prostitute their votes;

What persons could possibly be more of a prostitute than party loyalists? We would be better off if the Electors were randomly selected from the general population, minus the expressly listed people in Federalist 68: politicians or other person holding a place of trust or profit.

Restructuring communities around bus hubs doesnt sound like an awful idea to be honest. Even if everyone had a car, since it's the suburbs, it would probably cut down on day to day traffic and allow people to have more affordable housing.

I accidentally discovered a way to battle this. I had a phone number from a different state, far away from the state I'm living right now. I often get calls from the old state which I have no business with, and occasionally get calls from other states (not the one I'm living in) to test to see if I pick up. Robo caller has 1/50 chance of hitting the right state, even lower for hitting the right region.

I let all strange and not-in-my-contact numbers go to voice mail which I left in default. If it's important enough, hit my voice mail, I will call back. I got vastly reduced number of robocalls in the past year or so this way.

Exactly! Telling people to "only pick up from numbers you know" is not good advice. The whole point of this article is that caller IDs can be spoofed. That's what these new protocols are all about.
I think you miss how high balloons can go. Strong storms top out at roughly 60,000 feet. Weather balloons can easily reach 100,000 feet and are often only altitude-limited by the fact that their skin is designed to burst after they reach a certain point. There's really no reason you couldn't design an airship for flight above storm conditions as long as its weight to lift ratio is kept low enough.
It is true that such an acquisition or loss of fortune would be noticed. But context of the discussion is "how much did he overpay the acquisition to put money in his pocket" So question is "Is it a difference he notices, if Oracle spent less on the acquisition?" - So if Oracle paid not 9.3, but 5B for PeopleSoft Larry got not 4, but a bit less of 2B for the deal for his account. At the same time the value of his Oracle stocks would be different (probably higher) thus the notable effect of the deal is small for Larry (but potentially bad for that sueing pension fund)

In the medical profession, doctors go through a formal, multi-day certification process. Interviewing a doctor is mostly about mutual interest in the workplace; because no one in the interview needs to prove competence.

In contrast, in our profession, certifications tend to be useless. (Certifications tend to be technology-focused, instead of broader skillsets needed to be a software engineer.)

It's like we, as an industry, need to come up with a robust certification process that determines competence.

For those here who question the relevance of the modulus operator to computer programming, recall that the machines implement modular arithmetic.

I won't comment on whether it is a good or bad thing that one can consider oneself a computer programmer† without being cognizant of modular arithmetic.

†to the degree that one is applying to be paid for it.
It's almost if the GUI ecosystem is mostly independent of the language used. That's because GUI frameworks are a lot of work, so it makes more sense to have bindings to existing ones.
Another thing is modulus. I know off the top of my head that mod == 0 means a number is divisible by another number because we used it all the time in my college programming assignments. People without a formal background may not even know what modulus is; there are lots of programming domains where it's not really useful.

I have a simple low tech solution that is practical for m̶o̶s̶t̶ some.

Change your number to an area code that is outside of where you live - ideally a different state altogether.

If you get a call from an area code outside of where you live it’s probably Robo. If you get a call from area code of where you actually live, it’s probably legit. Ex: kids school, daycare, healthcare provider etc.
If your question was serious you would focus on starting with public transportation in cities, which the US lacks.

For me, I just don't watch as much TV content anymore. It's odd too since I still watch video but not what you would call TV content. Let's Plays, restoration videos, explanation videos, and the like are most of my content these days. Even videos about philosophy and politics (/r/BreadTube is Best Tube, hehehehehehe), so it's not the usual stuff I use to watch like scifi shows or Star Trek on repeat. In a way, I think the whole streaming Balkanization just gave me an excuse to expand beyond the old formats and genres.

What sort of airport is this that you can be in the air 18 minutes after arriving at the airport? Is this some tiny little airfield somewhere running tiny cesnas or something?

At most major airports it takes 5-10 minutes just to get out of the duty free shop after security! Even in priority lanes I've never got through security at a big airport quicker than 5 minutes - there is always a line of people ahead.

I know some people who have the "special" invite-only etc airline status where someone physically whizzes you through everything in a few minutes and out into a waiting car to take you directly to the gate etc, but that is hardly representative of the sort of person who might benefit from taking HS2
