google gets a 30 % cut.
I wonder about the exactwording and legalese.
so if someone is financially endowed then could they make a simple game or a loot box bonus, that pays people to play it. then google would owe 30% to that player.

It was Microsoft.
Yeah, I was going to offer a year of the same price if they switch to annual billing, otherwise the price change is effective immediately
> adb doesn't give you root privileges.

That's not true. It does have root support built in with 'adb root' that then runs future shell commands as root.

The factory image has this disabled, though, so you do need to flash a build that supports it. That would be a 'userdebug' build variant ( https://source.android.com/setup/build/building#choose-a-tar... )

So strictly speaking you can have root through purely first-party, open source, AOSP tools exclusively. It does, however, require doing a full build & flash yourself. That process is at least documented, though, so there's that. Just think of it like Gentoo
> the negative impacts of heroin all arise from its criminalisation

This is something of an exaggeration; heroin withdrawal can happen even without criminalization, for example, and is profoundly unpleasant, and constipation can dramatically reduce your quality of life. But certainly those negative "impacts" pale compared to the epidemic of drug-overdose deaths caused by prohibition, or even prohibition-induced unplanned withdrawal experiences.
As I said, this gets handled a variety of ways in the real world. If this is your first time encountering the topic, maybe a good place to start is a talk: https://securityboulevard.com/2019/06/dataedge-2019-alex-sta...
That does not follow. "Decentralized" is not a defense against "penetrated by the NSA". It just means that it's more work - one attack doesn't give you the keys to everything.

On the other side, from the Iranian perspective, it means that systems are secured by different people from different organizations with different degrees of training. That's a recipe for a number of attackable systems.
So what if they do? You can't let other people dictate your emotions or they will take advantage of you any way possible. That feeling of shame and embarrassment comes from within, not from the scammer, and therefore you have power over it, not them. There's no sadistic pleasure to be had if the victim doesn't care. If the victim doesn't care, why should the scammer waste their time? But just in case they do, good thing there's that facebook feature that hides messages from obscure users. By the time someone ever finds the message, you can just say it was a deepfake.
Which fact checkers and news organizations do you think are liars?
Sorry thats my bad. The package is written in python 3. Thus it is also possible that you have to install the package using `pip3 install simple-gpu-scheduler`. If the command pip3 does not exist try installing python3 using the ubuntu package manager apt.
I've immersed myself in the Haskell community for the past couple of years and while I'd agree that a few posts try to race a Haskell implementation against a C version, these are in the extreme minority.

I feel that you have mis-characterised a whole community, very few of whom care to make Haskell faster than C and overwhelmingly share your view that "C-grade performance is not required".

Further, in the posts I've read of people comparing to C, if anything C is held up as the benchmark as a mark of respect - not as something to cheat against, not to try to say that Haskell is better. Indeed Haskell's FFI out to C is really nice, and demonstrates the pragmatic side of this ivory-tower language :)

This post first embraces its clickbait article and then highlights that even though the Haskell version may be faster on multicore systems (at least for ascii - the unicode version may be incorrect wrt. unicode spaces), but that in practical situations without caching this may not provide any benefit. You're acting as if OP submitted his binary to Apple, *BSD and all the Linux distros with a pull request saying his is better! It's a fun post golfing some Haskell performance issues.
That's probably due to the "can't link to other stores" clause. There's a reason you have to manually go to Amazon.com to download their app store, you can't advertise or link to a third-party app source via a Google Play-delivered app.

Dense cities are energy-dense, for sure. But in energy used per person, they do very well. Apartments touching others on all sides are efficient to heat. Elevators are much more efficient transport than cars.

For the past several years I've been exploring deliberate practice in a number of different categories of sport, movement and musicality.

I have become convinced that the idea that deliberate practice is not enjoyable is entirely mistaken and results from incorrect framing and insufficient focus on the task. One must discard all notions of the greater goal or sport and design a new game around the simplest aspect which requires improvement.

By practicing meditation and mindfulness, you slowly learn to find skillful movement in all activity. When you can derive pleasure from the mundane - when all movement becomes a dance, you eliminate the distinction between plateaus and play, between practice and performance.

I reject outright the notion that my personality is innately autotelic. It is a skill and a mindset that I've cultivated slowly and intentionally, and it's the difference between sticking with a goal and loving the journey.
Ah thanks. You had me excited for a moment: classical methods for drawing were tedious, but rewarded my patience by improving my ability exponentially faster than other forms of practice. I had hoped for something similar WRT writing.
The main thing it's used for anticipating your movement for face unlock. This makes face unlock a bit faster on the Pixel than on the iPhone.

Although that's a lot of tech for such a minor thing.

Granted, the examples lack enough detail to know precisely how `out` is allocated. However, it seems safe to assume from the context that `out` is allocated by the client and `index` is returned to indicate the total number. There is no case where `out` is an "empty array", it always must have enough space for `howmany` integers.
Actually both should work. The problem in this case is probably that the package requires python3.6 and thus cannot be found using a python 2 pip. I changed the README for consistency though.
I've never been able to quite put my finger on why I loath Powershell so much, but yes, I think this is part of it. I also dislike how verbose commands are (and the shortened versions are not safe to use cross-platform), and the weird Pascal-Kebab-Casing-Hybrid of idiomatic Powershell also irks me.

Still, there is something else... I just don't like it.
as someone who switched to an iphone yesterday after having using google flagship models since the nexus one, i agree that this is an important direction for google's product strategy, but i think they're playing catch up from far behind.

i remarked to my wife last night that the biggest difference in the ux between the two was that my android was always a phone, and this iphone has become a platform/ux that's larger than a single device, a whole set of humanistic little devices -- airpods and the home ipad in my case. i'd always thought i couldn't switch because i use google services, but those are largely commodities now -- i've got a wide range of good enough options for photos/music/email/cal/etc. -- the google android apps are a little better, but not enough so to make a difference. even siri has been good enough so far, though my queries aren't especially complicated.
How would this work for unaligned accesses - which index would very likely be. A neat way to look at things nevertheless, thanks.
Never said it wasn't? Just pointing out how silly this stance is.
The people being killed in Mexico, by and large, are not foreign travelers, they are Mexicans who are involved in drugs. Looking at the average murder rate is misleading in this context.

It's not particularly wise for a young woman to hitchhike in the US either. I certainly wouldn't recommend someone do it right now in Mexico, and I have no doubt that people here and there all have fears about it, but fears don't necessarily mean it's extraordinarily unsafe.
This seems like it's pretty unethical. I'm not a fan. Surge pricing only really (sort of) makes sense to me for resources that can be temporarily at capacity, as a means of prioritization of customers.

Even that is kind of scummy.
I used to be able to find specific pages on the Web by googling for unusual words I expected would be used to link to them, not on the page itself, to pick an extreme example of the sort of triangulation one used to be able to use to track down lost pages or sites.

That kind of thing hasn't worked in... god, at least a decade, at this point. Not just because the Web is larger, but because search doesn't seem to work like that anymore and also everything got way spammier. "Clever" searching is a skill I was once (judging by people's reactions) notably good at but that is entirely obsolete, but not because the function it served was replaced by something better—it's just gone now.

How did you overcome the depersonalization? I've had similar feelings since April. I'm an irregular meditator, probably 3-5 times a week.

I thought it was drinking and sleep deprivation, but cut out drinking completely and have been averaging 8-9 hours a night. this helps a little but I still feel very disconnected in a way I know I didn't always feel. I don't think it's permanent, but I really want to find a solution.

This reminds me of this amazing TED Talk:

Do we see reality as it is? (Donald Hoffman, cognitive scientist)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYp5XuGYqqY

The intellectual bomb in the video is this:

Organisms that perceive only "fitness" drive to extinction all organisms that perceive reality as it is. (in model systems simulating environments and creatures navigating them)

My take: at every level, it would seem, perceiving true reality is not favoured. Nevermind cognitive biases, that's just one level. Literally the fabric of the universe: spacetime, matter, language, etc. It means nothing that it might feel comfortable or intuitive -- we should question it all.

If it was a normal in-app payment it would go through Google. Where it could be tracked, identified as fraud, and stopped.
On the flip side... At my previous job, cause of the ticket tracking system, it was shown that I handled 40% of all tickets that came into our team of 7 people. And this wasn't 2 minute tickets either, these were projects also.

Sorry you had that experience, but to me the justification of those types of system are solid.

Be careful.

These companies aren't trying to do something good for open source software. They are trying to protect their own business models. IMO they have the right to develop and release software under whatever license they want.

But as a user of that software, make sure you understand: if they decide your use of their software has potential revenue that they want, they are going to adjust the license to try to force you to pay up.

That is, their software is only as open as is currently convenient for their business objectives. Really not "partially open" at all.
I often do use the unstyled input for say range sliders and color pickers. Most component libraries don't include them but they are complicated enough to make you not want to reimplement them. Even if you choose another external library it will be thematically incompatible anyway so you might as well go barebones and accept the OS style.

In general, it's definitely possible to go too far with styling. Sometimes the look and feel of your app does add value but for the vast majority of apps, how your scrollbars and file pickers look doesn't ever matter.

We all are, but we play this little game with our employers so that we don't get fired.

My take is that you can't shoehorn creative work into your desired time slots. Not if the result is supposed to have any quality.

I have found that sometimes I just need to stare away from the screen and forget what exactly I have written in order to obtain a fresh perspective and spot any problems.

No way to speed up this process, and what's worse is that if I try to log only the time during which I did "focused work", the result generally doesn't go over the mentioned 5h 15min daily.

Every person I ever asked about this is in the same situation.

Power consumption per second might go down, but overall may go up, depending on how many more seconds the computation takes.
It was a generalised statement of how they now have too much power to decide what can and can not be put on our devices.

python is 29 years old :}
That's funny. I like to beautify old C++ codebases by gradually moving them to C. Code is so much easier to read already without implicit member accesses (this->). When going through large codebases, that must be one of the most frequent questions I'm asking myself, "is this a global, local, or member variable?".
E.g. I tried to submit my app to F-Droid, but I wrote it in FreePascal+Lazarus, and they did not want to include it, because they did not have FreePascal+Lazarus installed.
It doesn't have two rings anymore, you choose the hours and then it changes the ring to minutes for you to choose that. Functionally the same I would say, for all but the most pedantic person.

And I believe it has been that way for several years...I don't recall ever seeing hours and minutes rings visible at the same time.
Defiantly not European and if I where the profiling type I would almost bet money on a) that it's a him and b) him living in my region of the US. If I, am wrong on the second follow-up guess would be northwest plains states. But the stuff was really popular in the South, and in some places for a time more popular than smoking. I grew up on a farm and the cowboys at the feed store would always give me some when I was a kid. It started a life long love-affair that I wish I would have never started. In those cowboys defense, in the 70's Big Tobacco was still convincing people that tobacco was totally safe.

In European Snus is more popular and funny enough due to being water cured has less carcinogenics in it.

You raise a valid concern, but I think there's a stable equilibrium here. It seems to me that the current goals of ambient computing pretty much match the canonical utopian scifi vision; you can order the computer to look up information or play/display whatever media you want, but there are no little robots bringing coffee to your armchair. I don't think we risk automating so much that people (or, well, wealthy people at least) never have to stand up.
Sure. It's also an amazing place. Focusing only on the negative aspect of the world is what causes a depressive mindset.

Wait, are you trying to get everything from these services, or just some portion? (Oldest, highest-traffic, lowest-traffic, etc.)

A quick-and-dirty estimate says Imgur was adding perhaps 1.5PB of data per year way back in 2012; that much storage is going to run you $30k even on offline tape. Downloading that much data is more doable than I expected (1/3 of a year on a gigabit connection), but just keeping up with Imgur's new uploads sounds like a monumental task.

(It's a good task, and it does seem possible for one dedicated person. I'm just really curious to hear how you're managing it!)
Then the junior developers never get the benefit/mentorship of the best senior developers, instead they get mentored by the senior devs with poor productivity. That seems like a recipe for more unproductive developers

Consumers don't really care whether the software they use is open-source, they'll just use whatever looks good and works. So hosted WordPress does well, but Medium also does well.

Engineers are rightfully wary of using proprietary databases. Decades of bugs leading to integrity issues on decades worth of data. They're not willing to relive those days. Luckily, the world of open-source, battle-tested, academically reviewed databases is large and mature.

So any upstart peddling funky "throw out all that academic rigor and try this nosql shit" is rightfully squinted at. Open-source has essentially become table stakes for DBs, since no engineer will look at you otherwise.

These nosql companies are trying to be proprietary while still meeting the table stakes. Given the other expectations around open-source, the whole thing has a "two kids in a trenchcoat" look to it.
From Wikipedia:

Even perfectly legal activity can result in undesirable retribution. For example, some rich company could decide to sue a person in response to a negative review. Whistleblowers will almost certainly face retaliation if their anonymity is not guaranteed. Anonymous discussion boards are inherently more free: because there is no identity associated with opinions, there are no consequences for being wrong or politically incorrect and this leads to people speaking their minds without fear.

Also, not everything that is illegal should be illegal. Civil disobedience is impossible in a monitored society.

The actual hypothesis Chomsky puts forward in the book is childishly simple, though. He imagines literally every for-profit corporation, the military, and the entire federal government as being one fused united party with identical interests, and so NBCUniversal would never report anything critical of the military or the US government. This, um, doesn't track reality.

Is that really his thesis?

It seems to me that it's more about how incentives for all these organizations are aligned towards those same interests. Only the very "top" of the power pyramid needs to be deliberately trying to manufacture consent; everyone else falls into line because of the incentives set up by those one level of power above.
