That would include many electronics manufacturers, since nowadays most electronics contain firmware and sometimes are controlled by apps. But they are apparently not considered tech companies.

(Note that I prefer the old meaning of the word "tech" when it was short for "technology". But it's not up to me.)

"The lens is sufficiently prone to diffraction that you won't get the full value out of the sensor's resolution" is a very different statement from "the sensor's resolution is not really 12MP". Saying "The camera isn't true 12MP" suggests the latter, not the former.
I make money through patreon, patreon mainly advertises itself through their users advertising their own patreon pages on their own content, which is far different than what you mentioned above. patreon itself doesn't advertise at all.
Using Firefox on a 2-in-1 indeed leaves things to be desired. When pinch zooming, it seems to treat the pinching like normal page zooming instead of having a smooth viewport zoom.
A simpler explanation is that they are individuals defending against what they perceive as a personal attack via 'tribal' affiliations.
> Like immigration, the federal government chooses to enforce (under Trump) or ignore (under Obama)

I'm pretty sure more immigrants were deported under Obama than Trump; the media just prefers to roast Trump more than Obama.

For a while, Obama's opponents were calling him the "deporter in chief", but how quickly we forget...

The Federal Reserve is finally taking notice too. In addition to modernizing ACH over the past few years (so that payments can be settled on the same business day instead of over 3 business days) it has finally decided to create its own instant payments system called FedNow. Unfortunately that won't be ready until 2023 but Zelle and Venmo should fill the gaps until then.
I don't think micro 4/3ds gets enough credit for how convenient the smaller lenses are. I know full frame mirrorless is all the rage now, but even my dad's and brother's (respectively) APS-C gear is much larger and heavier when it comes to lenses.

No one who has data thinks it’s safer and I don’t think anyone on the political level really cares that much. Mj prohibition is ultimately racially and politically motivated and entangled with political image as well as a lot of funding for enforcement and incarceration.

Most likely we will move beyond its insanity but it’ll take time.
As a codebase gets larger and older, git bisect becomes invaluable. If you have not used it, you don't know what you're missing.

A pre-condition for git bisect working is that each commit must run well enough to successfully test for whatever behavior change is being tested for. Otherwise, you'll identify some commit where the code went from working to not working, but if it's just some idiotic typo instead of actually the change that you are looking for, you've lost.

I'd rather have a git bisectable history that correctly reflects a steady progression of the product than one that records every typo some developer made for posterity. That I typo'ed a variable name in a version that never shipped to anybody and then had to commit "FIXUP" is not useful information. A clean commit that changes behavior, but is subsequently revealed to cause a regression against a test that won't be written for another two years, is incredibly valuable.

Some of you say you don't get the appeal of a "clean" history; I say back I don't get the appeal of a pedantically historical view of history. I have never gone digging through some old history to figure out whether or not some particular piece of documentation was at some point in the past misspelled. Completely uninteresting. I have never cared about the process of how a particular thing was arrived at, with all the false starts, not to mention that if I did, trying to read a series of patches isn't how I'd want to do it. I have cared about being able to cherry-pick a single clean commit to backport some feature, I have cared about git bisect, and I have cared about the ability to revert a particular feature via "git revert" without having to figure out which discontinuous set of half-a-dozen patches need to be reverted because almost no commits from the past can be reverted without making fundamental breaks to the build, not for fundamental reasons, but because they introduce typos and break variable names and re-do accidental file deletions, etc.

History as a log of work is way less interesting than history as a queryable and manipulable data structure representing the various mostly-valid states of your project, and the ability to manipulate those mostly-valid states at a project level. Composing two valid states of the project together to get a third is incredibly powerful, and when two valid states compose together to create an invalid state, there's real information of some kind there. This doesn't work if your history mostly consists of invalid states. Composing two invalid states of the project together to get another invalid state isn't a surprise, it produces and teaches nothing.

This is why, whenever I can, I have a git pre-commit hook that checks the compile of everything and runs all my test cases. It's better for that to be the habit, and to have to occasionally bypass it for some reason, than for the default to be allowing any ol' commit to fundamentally break whatever. Doing it in a CI system is fine too; I do what I can to keep the local tests working but it's not always possible. The key is just that something is done to ensure validity is maintained.

Raw will help with color and exposure, up to a point. But it can't fix focus. You are still reliant on photons hitting a sensor. The more of them you have the more information you can work with. A 8MP camera with 1/2" CCD is going to look a hell of a lot better than a 20MP camera with 1/4" CCD.

It's the Sony A7III body with the new 24mm 1.4 GM lens. I upgraded its firmware to get the auto-focus features that debuted on the A9.

The lens is wide like a smartphone so the subject always fits in the frame. And it has enough resolution to crop later. But it's not so wide that it warps the image. Straight lines look straight. I take 15-20 pics/day and charge it once a month. It's light and small so I can shoot one-handed (very useful with pets and children).

One day I'll buy a telephoto lens with better reach. But the 24m is such a great "around-the-home" package. It will be my default for the foreseeable future.
My friend who runs a bomb sniffing dog for the TSA ("We don't find a lot of bombs, no") says that it's always illegal to bring pot on a flight.

Even if the flight is between two cities where pot is 100% legal, it can always be diverted, and you might end up landing in Kansas City.
Not according to the article. And that might be a good basis for an anti-trust case.
I can confirm that. We had a single-AZ RDS instance whose underlying storage (a "magnetic" EBS volume) unrecoverably failed, according to AWS. It had to be restored from a backup. Fortunately, "point-in-time recovery" meant there was very little data loss, just some downtime.

(Not that data loss or downtime mattered for this instance, which was just used for internal testing.)

Power-up is very stressful for hard drives, so it's not too surprising that some failed when the power turned back on. EBS does offer spinning rust storage options, so maybe mLab was using those for some of those failed volumes. I don't know if the same is true for SSDs or not.
It's ok. There's pretty good support for linting and code completion. The plugins are fast and have a rich feature set.

Take a look at this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jaredly....

The only problem that I have found is that in some situations it doesn't report errors correctly when adding new dependencies. Refreshing the window or rebuilding the project usually helps.

On the other hand, the compiler feels very solid. It can be annoying in the beginning because of how disciplined the code needs to be, and the error messages can be hard to understand.

After getting used to that, the dev ex is really smooth specially during complicated refactoring, the compiler and the IDE make things almost boring.
The way I understand it is the Foundation created and owns the Corporation so they would have a legal construct to receive their profits, and a ton of profits still comes in annually, and it's all their money regardless of which account it landed in or what % is assigned to Firefox.

According to the article - no. Most people are fine with their phone cameras according to these sales numbers.
How the Experts Are Approaching the Intersection of Blockchain and IoT
Tesla sells cars.
Apple sells computer hardware and software.
Intel sells computer parts.
Microsoft sells computer software, hardware, and services.
Coca-Cola sells soda.
Unilever sells a little bit of nearly everything.

Numbers 2-4 are clearly tech companies, while Tesla, Coca-Cola, and Unilever clearly are not, no matter how much technology they use in delivering their cars, soda, and household goods.
Uber is not a transportation company-- they neither manufacture transport vehicles nor provide transportation services (according to the law).

Rather, they provide a post-paid software platform for individuals to provide transportation services to customers directly.

Delta is a transportation company because Delta is cutting the checks for the purchases and maintenance of the airplanes.

Sure, it's a spectrum, but Delta isn't a tech company. Skyscanner and Booking.com are tech companies that fulfill an Uber-like service for Delta.

Big difference is that US banks usually charge no fees. Not for a monthly account, not for a credit card, not for a debit card. Probably not even teller services.

And if you go to a US teller, they won’t direct you to an ATM.

From what I’ve seen in France, bank branches are increasingly cashless. Need $5k? Go to the teller and ask them to open a window on your account, and then make 5x transactions at the ATM (with its 1k limits).
I'm sure that funding for "a tiny feature" or fixing "one tiny bug" would be beyond what most users can pay for at an individual level and still have the developer make a decent living. All the work that's desired to be done needs collective donations to be pooled and used since individual donations would be very small by nature.
It's the only app I found where I can create whitelist of YouTube channels - my kid use it and loves it. And I pay for premium account to avoid all the ads - works great.

Would be great to have an option to "ban" channels in YouTube (without additional apps), because some of "kids" content on YouTube looks pretty insane and I think can be harmful for kids.
Making fine a percentage of profit would be even worse: Amazon, for example has no taxable profit at all, so the GDPR fine for them would be $0 (or $20M, which does not make much difference). And having different fines for different industries, based on gross profit margings could be viewed as discriminatory, and therefore ruled illegal.
I generally click the organic result for companies I like, and click the ad for companies I don't like. No idea if it matters.
In order to interopt, you're going to be using `any` a lot of places. You then have the illusion of sound types. You have all the extra work of sound types. But you do not have sound types and should not be relying on them.
It seems like the main market for the language is education, specifically a high-level language for ARM-based arduino-compatibles, but with an SDK that can be hosted on a browser for easy distribution on school computers. Microsoft can use the nuts and bolts of their existing typescript compiler, which happens to be able to run in a browser, to implement the language.
Not the person you're replying to, but in some ways it is.

Part of Hong Kong Basic Law (their Constitution, which was adopted during the handover process) stipulates that "the ultimate aim" is elections by universal suffrage for both the Chief Executive as well as the Legislative Council. So the demand for universal suffrage is simply asking the government to make good on their promises from 1990/1997.

One of the reasons that the extradition bill caused such an uproar in the city is that Hong Kong citizens are protected by rule of law in a way that doesn't exist in China. The law has clear definitions and punishment for rioting, and the actions of some protesters could very well fall into that category. So to ask for all rioting charges to be dropped is asking for the government to give in to mob rule. (Caveat—I don't think the rioting charge would be as big of a deal as it is if it didn't carry a 10 year prison sentence. But it's hard for the protesters to ask for anything less than blanket amnesty... Without looking at a specific case, where do you draw the line? What sort of punishment is reasonable?)
> Companies do actually employ shills to go on forums and try to sway public opinion

I'm inclined to believe you, but sources please. Especially interested if you (or anyone) have anything on Google in this respect.
Why do people care about this? Writing type annotations is not that much work, but they make your code more readable.

I can see the argument for it when you have unspellable nested generic types, or when you don't want to write the same thing on both sides of an assignment. Simple type inference like in TS gives you that.

Having really smart type inference makes your compiler slower and more complicated. What's the real-world benefit?

> Typescript will try to unify the type to some sort of Any, which is probably not what you want.

Not really, unless you push the type inference beyond its limits, in which case you should just change your code.

A reasonable debate about your privacy concerns cannot be had if you take the most extreme response and pretend it represents what you are or what everyone thinks you are.

You are assuming you were branded by a large swath while similarly branding an entire company that is clearly represented by many diverse opinions on diverse products. The debate needs more nuance lest everyone pulls out their broad brushes while also taking offense to receiving a fleck of paint. Conflating the Go proxy w/ Google's ad business is a perfect way to ignore nuance in the debate downplaying the real, tangible effects.
I imagine it goes like: ask the producers to give you the intro length and tstamp, add a button that pops 2s before intro starts and that skips intro_length. Get an intern to manually tag older shows.

But knowing netflix they probably dumped 5m on a team of 10 ML experts for 6 months so I might be wrong.
I'm less familiar with Typescript but this sounds quite close to how go does interfaces! Maybe you could speak to that.

I've been pretty impressed with static duck-typing and miss it when I'm in Java.
Maybe it's just me but I find it immensely more difficult to solve the ones where the regex is rotated 90 degrees. Something about trying to write a thing left-to-right and mentally match it with a thing reading top-to-bottom is exercising a (clearly untouched) part of my mental pathways. I'd love for the top row to not be rotated it'd be much more fun.

You have to take some personal responsibility, though. If they saw your Youtube recommendations or your Spotify playlist, they'd probably make inferences as well. That porn link in your history you forgot to clear? Be aware of who's watching and browse anonymously if you're concerned.
This is the lesson I really learned the hard way and way too late. If you are passionate about software craftsmanship, making the code not just fast and correct, but beautiful, don't write software for someone else's company. When writing code for a company, you're a tradesman, not a craftsman. Schedule and customer acceptance is all you're going to be measured by. No customer cares if their water pipes are beautiful and the way they run is elegant and gives your basement a nice '20s art deco look. They just care whether they're leaking or not and can you do it by Thursday.

If you like to spend days getting the architecture just right, moving code around from one file to another because it just makes more sense there, running it through lint on the strictest settings and getting no errors, alphabetizing your #includes and lining up all your variable names, sanding and polishing away until that code is a beautiful diamond, then for your own sanity don't write software for a living!
The thing is, even if she is right about the reason she is underpaid, that way of thinking puts the situation out of her control, leading to suffering and stagnation. If you instead assume that you do have control over the situation, then that "positive bias" leads to finding ways to actually improve the situation.

In any case, it's always a mix of mutable and immutable factors. Here she has chosen (or automatically defaulted) to fixate on the one thing she cannot do anything about! From that perspective your only options are to suffer in silence, or to complain.

I feel like on a place like this site where there are occasionally job postings and networking opportunities, there's an element of "my comments are my CV/resume" which biases some people towards defending/advocating for companies just in case it affects their career prospects.
Nobody is doubting they can. It's whether or not they will. It's not 1960 anymore. Nobody in the west back then was gonna complain if the commies were starving themselves. China is also more connected with the world than before and on some level there's expectations of following certain behavioral norms that come with that. It's a fine line between "solving the problem" and getting slapped with sanctions that materially affect mainlander's lives and make them question why they even care about Hong Kong.

There's no good way out at this point. Somebody is gonna lose.
