It is a usefull functionality, as I have used splid several times.

My two recommendations: Don’t forget the more seniors in terms uf usability. I think the flow should focus on adding expenses quickly on the first screen as you want to do this on the fly.

Secondly: as you are from Switzerland I proposed exactly that idea while I was working for post to postfinance to get 50k startcapital, but did not get it. I guess if you come with this UI and say youll build a interface to their payment system (twint 2Dbarcode) you might get some funding. Cheers
It is fairly easy to pick up a success, make a story around it and generalize. But in the same time Finland is at the top of European countries on the depression. Is there any relation between flexible work and depression? No idea, just throwing random "leads the world" facts.
Wouldn't call it 'good' but it would be better than applying L on each row.

Instead enumerate all unique permutations of the search term, calculate it's levensten distance and then search through for a match...doing it one by one starting from distance 0 to max and returning the first match.

If the variable in complexity size is the number of rows then it's better to enumerate all permutations and do a single search over all rows, ordering results by distance and returning only the first match
> To add context here, I responded to someone who said the current Hong Kong situation illustrates the importance of the second amendment. Which I think truly was a myopic, insipid comment.

The protestors themselves may disagree with that. There’s plenty of photos of protestors holding signs that make exactly that comment. Their oppressor in this case also actually has a history of massacring unarmed civilians.

Regarding the might of the US or Chinese military, I can’t think of an example of a military winning against an insurgency.
If you replace "punish" with "control" I think that's an easily-extensible template, because isn't that ultimately tied to the personal ethics of the employee?

<Some Company>: hey dude want to work for a company whose job it is to help manipulate and control people by violating their privacy through big data?

Engineer: sure! Just as long as it doesn't violate this very specific aspect of my personal ethics!

That could easily describe Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

>Your entire post is overgeneralization and dramatizing to prove some poorly thought out hypothesis

I find that the main thesis is actually pretty sound. Historically speaking, the current (capitalistic) labour / production system is a direct descendant of the medieval feudal labour relations that existed in Europe 900 years ago. When you truly look at it, they are pretty identical in their core mechanics. There is a class system, there is servitude, there is limited social mobility.

It's just that the outer appearance is different, that some aspects are improved (in degree, not in kind, if I'm making myself understood), and finally that the technological advances mask the inequality and the problems in the system (a world where one person has 500$ and the other 500,000$ seems better than one where one has 1$ and the other 1,000$, but they are equally unequal).

Where Did CSS Named Colours Come From?
I can't think of any clever optimizations, unless there are some convenient constraints on the database or search query values. You could just precompute a lot of stuff to help you narrow down the search, but that's really not going to be feasible unless you have some constraints or some metrics on what sort of searches are being performed.
It's hard to predict an alternate future, but by the time the adopted Windows they were already in a bad position.

To put it simply, they missed the transition to smartphones, just like Blackberry. They were in control of their OS, it makes sense they didn't want to give it away before it became clear that they couldn't do it.

They had Symbian, which was old and crappy, and Maemo then Meego which apparently, they didn't push enough. The real winning move would have been to bet everything on Meego, bring in the partners they have with Symbian before Android took the market. They didn't do it because they were clinging to the dying Symbian.

Honestly, if they had adopted Android right away I'm not sure they would have been able to compete against HTC/LG/Samsung and other Asian companies.
Google Gadgets (on the iGoogle custom homepage) used a similar scheme for exposing a select API to untrusted JS running in frames. I was mostly exposed to it because Mapplets used the same backend to allow user widgets on Google Maps. The proxy Maps API objects (used to spawn map markers and so on) were similar in API to their non-proxy counterparts, though obviously every interaction with the other-frame content became asynchronous, and that led to a bunch of interesting small differences that could trip you up if you didn't appreciate the reality of all your data being copied back and forth across that boundary.
I don't particularly trust Bolsonaro, his constant twisting of the truth and his ignorance should put us all on alert.

But seriously, this is an article about an agency that is openly anti-bolsonaro and pro PT [1] (his opposing party) claming to have seen a supposed PowerPoint with incriminating evidence (with no source to the PowerPoint and much less any proof of its origin). We can't allow ourselves to drop to this level, it is no better than a witch-hunt this way.

This. I've heard some devs before complain that the requirements aren't specific enough. As a dev myself, my opinion is that if the requirements were 100% clear, thorough, precise, and unambiguous, then you'd essentially have a programming language.

If you have developers requesting that specs be 100% perfect, then you have either (a) too junior devs who are lacking a senior mentor or (b) somehow the devs have gotten the idea that any imperfection, misinterpretation, or bug is going to reflect poorly on them, so they're trying to pass the buck - I see this a lot and it's usually a systemic culture problem.

A nice related video is his GDC 2018 talk "failing to fail", over on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stxVBJem3Rs

I don't particularly like the art that his games use (and I also grew up on Ultima) but I'm 100% behind the idea that if "trying for better art" (and note that "better" in no way guarantees "something people will call good") means putting the entire business at risk, only someone with no sense of responsibility and no understanding of the value of a dollar would take that risk. Not in year one, and still not in year 25.
I’m kind of tacking this on here, but does anyone have a good recommendation for notes or a book on applied topology for someone with a decent but not extensive background in applied math? In particular, my goal is to more deeply understand manifold learning techniques like MDS and UMAP.
Not necessary. Just void all those laws that prevent competition in broadband ISPs. Strike down state laws abolishing municipality-owned ISPs. Strike down local ordinances granting telecoms local monopolies.

Eminent domain the utility poles and buried conduits to transfer them to the county/municipality, though. Too many companies squeeze out competition by saying "you can't hang your wires on our poles".

These companies have been sitting on ass, collecting rents, because they are legally protected from competition. The instant a viable competitor shows up, they scramble to clean up their acts. So strip away their protection.

Wherever they don't build out, they lose the market, because the residents might do it themselves.
It would greatly reduce the amount of fingerprinting, but not completely eliminate it. I've written about this before, but there's more than just Javascript we need to worry about -- we'd want to strip down CSS a bit, rethink how asset caching works, and potentially send less information in request headers.

But it would certainly be a lot easier to do all of that without Javascript.

The problem is that one of two things would happen:

A) the majority of web apps would move to native platforms, where fingerprinting resistance is even worse. That would include a good many news sites, even though most news sites aren't really web-apps, and don't need Javascript to operate. They'd still do it.

B) the majority of users would not use those browsers. We're playing a kind of weird game with fingerprinting right now -- we want to block it without breaking most websites. This is why adblocking is fantastic: it observably makes the web better to even an average user, so there's an incentive for users to adblock en-mass, and publishers can't really leave the web. Adblocking is a way to fight surveillance apparatuses without making sacrifices.

It's a tricky situation to be in, and there's a lot more that could be said about the merits of different strategies.

That being said, if you don't care about an en-mass policy, and you're just looking to increase your own privacy, it would definitely be a good idea right now to use something like UMatrix to disable at least 3rd-party Javascript by default. You'll have to do a lot of per-website tweaking, but if you're at all technical it's honestly not that bad.

This is my own perspective from what I've been reading/ seeing as a customer for the past few years and how the company has changed from its warcraft/diablo even world of warcraft days to now.

Yes there are still people working for Blizzard that have been there for 15 years or longer. (Is that a good thing? yes and no. The motivation declines the longer you are at a specific job, not that it applies to everyone but I consider that to be a a big factor)

The issue here though isn't about how long someone has been working on a project like WoW or for the company itself. The main issue is that like any other company out there that became successful it went in full corporate mode.

That dev that has been working in wow since 2002 and before the game was even out, has probably very little say of what happens to the game.
The game as any other game that is coming out from blizzard right now feels like its build by pure stats. It feels like a marketing specialist, sat down with a stats guru and they decided on what people like based on trends and what people are doing. That combined with the business people demanding more money, more game currency transactions, more gambling involved into the game and RNG being the top, have made games like WoW being awful to enjoy.

The difference between Blizzard back then and Activision-Blizzard now is that Blizzard a small/medium game studio was building games that the team would love to play. WoW was a pure unexplored world ready to accommodate any kind of player - it was an adventure.
Nowadays the WoW of today is like a themepark where every ride is very specific.

Again personally I spent so much time in WoW during the first 2-3 expansions, and nowadays I want to play but the game is just not good enough.

So as a player yes I'd say you are right to say there are people still working for Blizzard that were working back then but the small/medium studio that would put passion behind their games, turned into a corporation trying to build games based on stats.

And I hope that there will be another indie company that will eventually become like valve, blizzard or ea. Us gamers need that, we need a company that will produce amazing games with loads of passion and not just for the moneygrab.
With all the information exposed probably 60-70% of all people have been exposed. We need to stop the ability of anyone to do anything useful with this data. Which means forcing banks to improve their security standards... rather than calling it identity theft and forgetting about it.
And it keeps getting worse.
Before, videos I had already watched would have the thumbnail dimmed, with text on top. Now there's a thin red line under the video thumbnail that displays how far into the video I was last time.

It would be really useful to be able to go into a user's profile and filter out the videos you've already watched, or filter them at all.

It would also be nice to have a proper category list.

This is obvious functionality, that they must've left out on purpose. But why?
The Cura slicer from Ultimaker has a setting to enable that kind ironing on top surfaces although just with the regular nozzle but it works surprisingly well!
I don't know. I read the article as, "yes, climate change is bad, there is not much you can do about it on individual level, this can cause depression, please don't be depressed". What's your problem with that?
You can modify the basic algorithm to weight changes differently. I had the opposite case--differing numbers were more likely to be what the user was looking for. I made digit changes cost 1 point, one string being longer cost 1 point per character (suffixes were another case where it was likely the objective) and everything else cost 2.
If you're worried about the air and our environment, sure plant a tree, but pay for Carbon Capture.

Money is more likely to flow to open source developers if it is framed from the perspective of the person/company that is paying:

"Scarf de-risks your product by helping you pay a small monthly amount to ensure that your open source dependencies remain alive and healthy."

versus

"Platform to help open source developers monetize their work."

MWI feels like nonsense to me.

The problem is that it's unbounded. It's not just about specific measured quantum events, because that begs the question about how and where and why universes branch off.

Without that foundation, it becomes about all possible quantum events. Literally. Any moving particle that has a chance to decay may decay at any time, spawning a universe. And some of those spawned interactions will lead to other spawned interactions...

Somehow you have to get the Born Rule from a number of possible interactions that is so big it reduces the number of particles in the universe to an insignificant rounding error.

Assuming this number is even countable (up for debate) there must be universes in which quantum physics doesn't appear to work as it does here.

You can't just assume that somehow you get the right answer with a nice converging integral. Because the complete list of possible MWI universes includes a very small - but not zero - number where consistently unlikely interactions are the norm, so they operate with the "wrong" laws - for example neutrons that refuse to decay, or gluons that stay permanently glued.

Which being the case, we don't know whether this universe is a probabilistic freak and the "real" laws are different to the ones we see here. Maybe our Born Rule is the freak, and most universes operate differently. With MWI, there's no way to tell.

And so on for other issues. MWI is best left to science fiction plot lines. I really can't see it making sense as either falsifiable science or consistent philosophy.
Maybe the better solution is for Android to list "7.0 Oreo" in its Version box, like macOS shows "macOS Mojave Version 10.14.15" in its About This Mac box.

This helps but I am still wishing that the Final credit card would have survived because it allowed you to generate new card numbers per each vendor AND set hard limits on transactions per month, one time use, etc etc.

edit: still doesn't solve the issues with the other personal identity problems that comes with all of this... I just want an anonymous payment method. Is that so hard? I don't want any business to ever know who I am.

Can you expand on this? At length. Preferably in paperback.
I mean yes, in theory, you want to build relationships and get to know potential investors. In reality, entrepreneurs usually have an urgent need to get the cash needed to grow their business, and fundraising is a really high emotion and time sink.

It doesn't help that most investors will shut you off as soon as they've decided "there's no fit". So yeah, it would be nice theoretically if everyone had the time and energy to do this, but I'm not sure it's realistic, and I think a big part of why the process is transactional is because of transactional investors.
"Classes considered harmful"
I am working in an American company for 17.5 years, most from home (12 years) with occasional visits to the local branch office (Europe) and sometimes to the headquarter in US. I work on different time zones as needed and it gives me some flexibility, but longer hours to make up for it.

It works for me, but for each case where it worked I have another 5 where it was so and so and probably 10 where it was bad for the employee. This is because people tend to work longer hours, lose connection with the team (they are not in the office at the same time), it is harder to find someone when you need them because they work different hours that change a lot. Flexible working has advantages, but it also has disadvantages and trust is not part of the equation most of the time, presence, interactivity and coordination, human connections that are created face to face, these are much more important.

I think it might be too late to put the genie back in the bottle without a multi-industry, multi-system overhaul.

I agree banks need to improve security standards (along with just about every other major and minor company). But banks being more secure doesn't get to the root of the issue any more than just forgetting about it (after all, it's generally not the bank having their innards on display). There is no silver bullet.

Cost of living increases almost every year. Value of money decreases somewhat from inflation. Worker salaries have not been increasing on pace with inflation, much less cost of living increases, since oh... the Reagan years.

What has increased dramatically since the Reagan years is executive pay and wealth of top 1%. What has also increased is consumer debt, particularly during the Clinton years. At the same time that consumer debt was increasing, interest rates (for consumers, not the prime rate) were climbing quickly to their legal limits. Also, those legal limits were occasionally being increased.

Yes consumers are consuming more stuff, and yes most of that extra consumption is rather wasteful and provides decreasing benefit in terms of quality of life or happiness. But the rate of some consumption is going down. Modern computers, TVs, and even mobile phones now can do so much more than most users need that there is less and less reason to upgrade frequently. Buying a new car every couple of years is a great way to waste money. But generally speaking, "the people" aren't living larger than they did 20-30 years ago.

There's very little doubt that the vast majority of the value of the increased productivity output has gone to the top 1%. That's factually visible even without exposing the many sources of hidden offshore wealth that is sometimes estimated to be multiple times larger than the known wealth.
