I wanted to find out the proper way to disable middle-click paste because all the solutions I could find involved basically disabling the button all together, but I still wanted to use it for closing tabs etc.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to do it. One high rated StackOverflow answer I found suggested purchasing a mouse with a less sensitive mouse wheel.
There is a good map on the wiki of Concentrated Solar [1] showing the Direct Normal Irradiation. The US West coast is in somewhat of a unique position (as is Australia, South Africa, and a couple of others I suppose): high density population centers in areas with a lot of solar radiation. In those areas it might very well be the best method available (dunno, could be). Transporting electricity at distance is non-trivial however. Plans to put these installations in the Sahara and transport it to Europe via high-voltage DC lines have pretty much gone nowhere (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desertec). So non-competitive was more a reference to the constraints that it imposes, but I could've been clearer for sure.

"extreme pragmatism" is still an ideology, whether you admit it or not. The claim that anything can even be "pragmatist" is so meaningless to be almost absurd.

Who is not a pragmatist? Who could possibly insist on the impractical? This is ideological par excellence and the rejection of the impractical becomes, in a sense, ideology in itself. This ideology necessarily starts to reject criticism as "dogmatic" and this insistence and opposition to opposition becomes in itself a dogmatic principle.
And given that emails are akin to a home address these days, you can be locked out of your entire life. Google can wipe a person off the map. Bank accounts, health care, billing, everything is tied to email accounts and phones tied to google accounts.
digression - if anyone has evidence that Safeway Inc gave back to the postgres project, it would be great to hear about it (in public)!

btw- how many people here have contributed directly to PostgreSQL in any way.. "food for thought"
Professional-Managerial Chasm
Billionaires can't even handle having to hear about a little girl who doesn't want the planet to die.
It is not clear Google made the connection at all. The report does not contain enough details to make it convincing this is just because of NewPipe.
Given the customer service at the returns counter, that was already my approach. Compare the experience at Costco, which someone probably mentioned in this thread.
You assume that everyone wants to modify everything (or the unmodifiable, as you put it).
After going through many years of FreeBSD and Linux, I now just want things to work. Mac gives me that. Should have switched sooner.
"Any renewal of oppositional spirit among the Professional-Managerial Class, or what remains of it, needs to start from an awareness that what has happened to the professional middle class has long since happened to the blue collar working class. Those of us who have college and higher degrees have proved to be no more indispensable, as a group, to the American capitalist enterprise than those who honed their skills on assembly lines or in warehouses or foundries. The debt-ridden unemployed and underemployed college graduates, the revenue-starved teachers, the overworked and underpaid service professionals, even the occasional whistle-blowing scientist or engineer—all face the same kind of situation that confronted skilled craft-workers in the early 20th century and all American industrial workers in the late 20th century."
Short of unlimited space to include all articles anyone possibly submits without any standard required, what do you think people should do instead except apply some subjective editorial judgement? It wouldn't be a journal if someone wasn't applying judgement - it'd just be a vast paper repository which isn't really the same thing.
Enterprise is also the inspiration behind Dilbert.

I agree that Windows is nowhere as bad as it was in the 90s and early 2000s and OS X isn't as good as it was in 2014, but software development on Windows is still slightly painful.
Plenty of people were detained and identified during the referendum, and there was a lot of police violence:

I’m pretty sure the Rentech and DE Shaw founders were mathematicians. I’ve heard Simons in particular is stupid good at math and there are apocryphal stories to that effect. Wouldn’t surprise me if other quant funds were also ran by the math-heads themselves as well
Not OP but I've spent a lot of time setting up email sending for SaaS apps. It shouldn't be too difficult, just use a third party provider like sendgrid and make sure your DKIM and SPF records are setup properly and you should be good to go. I've also used stuff like Amazon SES and it's not worth the trouble for side projects (or even medium sized, real businesses, honestly). If you have specific questions feel free to ask.

Having walked in both long and short grass I can tell you it largely depends on a number or factors. The largest seeming to be the amount of time passing between each person.
I have two things in mind,

1. Headless eCommerce in go

2. A Clojure like language for PHP in Clojure (will be very simple)

After looking at "Making the Tokio scheduler 10x faster" I was thinking how hard it's gonna be to create a Clojure for rust. That will leverage rust's ecosystem. That means you get max performance of rust and get to use it with a nicer language.

In my opinion the raw feeding craze shares a lot of social media attributes with anti-vaxxing.

It isn’t veterinarians spreading this advice. My vet recommended against it.

I would guess that for every person doing raw diets right, there are five screwing it up.

It's crazy to think that Amazon acquired Whole Foods for less than Facebook acquired WhatsApp. Not on the list, IBMs 34b acquisition of Red Hat.
I'm wondering how Costco has managed to hold out against the stockholders demanding more.

Bravo to them for doing it!

What does that mean operationally?
Since you seem plugged in - what do you think the next big advance in social media is going to be? Anyone with an interesting new concept that might get big?
This would be more convincing if Snowden has never spoken up. But my assumption nowadays is that the US government (and many others) are looking at essentially anyone of interest to them. We're living in a golden era of surveillance. It's never been so cheap to surveil so many people.
From what I gather, you're half correct:

1. Yes, the 737 Max is stable in the conventional aerodynamic sense.

2. No, MCAS was not introduced only to make it handle like the previous 737 generation. Without MCAS, the 737 Max would not fulfil certification criteria related to stick forces at high angle of attack.

(I've never figured out whether the 737 Max stick force is sub linear, but monotonically increasing at high AoA, or decreasing.)
You say that as if you think we will have a choice in that matter. A centrally planned economy is the kind of numerical optimization problem that computers are far better at solving than humans are. Eventually, some country will implement an AI-driven centrally planned economy that will function far more efficiently than our current market-driven model, at which point everyone else will either out-competed by this new more efficient system, or adopt something similar.
Not always - it has to be appropriate - there are cases where regulation costs lives by locking in suboptimal solutions because the costs to re-certify can be too high.

We need to have the appropriate balance.
How many KM remaining depends on the terrain, traffic, driving technique, weather and a host of other factors. Nobody is expecting 100% accuracy just a rough estimate. They are already mentally doing the conversion anyways.

This is untrue in my experince, why dod you create a throwaway to play shill for china?
By scheduling you mean schedule a reminder to do it by hand?
Is UTC to busy selling elevators and air conditioned in China to make a big deal about this? Or is it just that is no-recourse?
No idea, why do you think so? I could see a bot doing all that.
I have what I'm sure is a very unpopular opinion that most people probably shouldn't own dogs.

Dogs evolved alongside humans and were bred to help us with specific tasks like hunting, herding, etc. When you take an animal with a genetic drive to perform certain activities and turn it into a fashion accessory or have it sit alone in a house most of the day, I think the dog tends to go a little crazy. I don't think it's a good life for them. If you can't realistically be with your dog most of the time, or if you don't have a purpose for the dog (like herding sheep) you probably shouldn't have a dog.
So China is publicly announcing that it's deploying what the Five Eyes have deployed in democratic countries under the cover of darkness across the world (while lying to their citizens, who have a constitutional right to know)?

Points for transparency.
I'm sure a lot of folks will pile in here about evil, etc. But I do appreciate the fact that some market incentives (profits) exist to encourage greedy companies to come out with new drugs. I fear lower innovation in its absence.

THAT SAID...obviously a big problem (like software) with the way we handle intellectual property. Just like IBM/x86, there's no philosophical reason why one shouldn't be able to derive a generic and produce it. That's the real issue. We issue "king's crown" (gov't) monopolies on these products. The ONLY advantage I am okay with is first mover advantage. Similar corollary to toll road and broadband concessions...stop protecting these giants and allow REAL PvP competition!

At least in its SoCal warehouses, Amazon does not commingle its own inventory with FBA sellers for product liability reasons. It maintains separate internal warehousing SKUs for FBA inventory stockpiles.

If Costco doesn't have it, I don't need it.
My adsense account seems to be permanently stuck in limbo too. Every once in a while I get an email that my payments are on hold because I have no payment method (a little over $100 sitting in there).

Attempts to add a payment method always fail and it won't let me remove the one that doesn't seem to be working. The help support articles linked on that same page 404 and I can't seem to find a way to get any assistance on the issue. It has been stuck like this for years, occasionally I try to remedy it and end up in the same loop. It is extremely frustrating.

If people trust some random internet Finn who provides no evidence more than they trust Google, who does Google have to blame for that but themselves? It's their own fault they've trashed their own reputation this severely.
The only issue I have with the letter is the spurious inclusion of CP. It has little to do with the substance of the matter. But overall this is a pretty fair letter. As a fact, FB has shifted the focus from themselves as a platform provider onto potential association members. That literally means that regulators, have no choice but to focus their efforts on those member companies. Sure you can take it as a threat, but it really is just a very sobering fact.

I think it also shows how little faith these companies have in this tech that they have all just bowed out at the fist sign of (very obviously coming) government push back. If they thought this was really fleshed out and had the kind of earning potential that FB has implied they'd all be doing their best to play both sides for as long as possible.
That's really hard to judge, because a lot of those company's growth came after their acquisition, and we have no idea how much the parent company contributed to that either through marketing and driving traffic, and/or through capital resources and/or through talent.
There's an easy way to tell that this did not actually happen. The person reporting this claims that they were notified that the account was suspended for "using 3rd party app outside of Play Store to go around Youtube ads".

Now think about any of the previous similar stories you've seen over the years. Doesn't even have to be about a full account being suspended. E.g. maybe it's about an app or extension being removed from a store, or about a site being removed from the search index, etc. The messages will always have been quite vague on exactly what happened, e.g. just saying that there was a violation of the terms of service.

The level of specificity claimed by the poster is just totally implausible.
I was speaking from the customer perspective.
Probably about the same as if they weren't a pet.
Exactly this.

I did the same thing to find available camping spots in Hawaii because they are super difficult to get. Wrote a script that would query their "API" every 5 minutes and alert me if a spot became available anywhere.
Pretty much, yes.

You're talking about problems that "piss you off", whereas Linux has problems that not only piss you off, but completely stop you from being able to do what you need to do.

It's easy to talk about these things in abstract terms, but frankly I've run across two problems with Mac ever that I actually had to fix in order to do what I needed to do:

1. Get "gcc" to point to "gcc" instead of clang.

2. Get Valgrind to work (which problem is admittedly still not solved).

The problems that I've had to fix in Linux often start immediately upon booting up for the first time and attempting to connect to wireless, and end with me emailing documents to a Mac to print them because I needed the document printed within an hour, not after 8 hours of tinkering.
Warning, since I've never written line of Rust code never mind working with Tokio I might be just full of it. If that's the case please forgive me ;)

From a short glance my understanding of Tokio is that at high level it is an execution environment that basically implements data exchange protocols based on asynchronous io.

Then they say the following: Tokio is built around futures. Futures aren’t a new idea, but the way Tokio uses them is unique. Unlike futures from other languages, Tokio’s futures compile down to a state machine

So the question here is why not to expose generic state machine framework (FSM/HSM) which can deal with those protocols but is also very useful for many other tasks as well?
This seems like prime territory for a Mac menu bar / Windows system tray app that runs this process once a day.
maybe, maybe not. other animal species use play as a way to simulate potentially dangerous scenarios in order to learn certain behaviors. i think it's naive to assume that there's nothing instructive happening within core video game experiences.
From a QA perspective, I feel like you buried the lede on this Loom tool. Benchmarks are nice, but confidence is an elusive thing when it comes to non-trivial concurrency.

I'll be spending some time on the CDSChecker and dynamic partial-order reduction papers.
There's been a fair amount of discussion around this on the internals board, though it hasn't seen much activity in the last two weeks or so: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-procmacros-impleme...

That said, this is the general operating strategy in the Rust ecosystem: got a cool feature you think would be useful? Try implementing it via a crate/macro hackery to see if would indeed be useful.

It's one of the reason I'm a big fan of Rust - between the macros and the typesytem, you can generally prototype language level changes. No, the prototype won't be as nice to use as the real thing, but I think that's for the best.

As an example, you can write a crate to introduce named argument support for calling and defining functions. Lots of fun.

An aside: the author is one of the macro experts in the Rust ecosystem.
>This was your original claim. You are implicitely withdrawing it and moving the goalpost

Oh fuck off, you knew the context. oliverx0 was trying to paint the independendistas as the violent aggressors, which was obviously what I wanted evidence of.

It's obvious that the police went out of their way to incite a violent response, and utterly failed. All you can find is a single chair-throwing incident while it's easy to find hundreds of incidents of cops attacking peaceful voters.

>You can keep your 500$, I already knew you were bluffing.

You're a scumbag intentionally misinterpreting me in order to call me a liar. I would recommend you refrain from this kind of silly personal attacks in the future, you never know just how much they might cost you.

And FWIW, I'm not bluffing. I'm more than happy to put my money where my mouth is, please name any nice (you know, not the daily stormer or ISIS) bitcoin accepting charity and I'll give them $500 just to prove that you're utterly full of shit. I won't give you the money though, as you did nothing to earn it. (However my original offer will still stand after my $500 donation to the charity of your choice!)
Pedestrians have the right of way, though; they don't need to cooperate. A self-driving car shouldn't be allowed to run someone down just because they were jaywalking and didn't correlate the red light speeding towards them with an autonomous death machine. We generally don't let human drivers get away with mowing down pedestrians or hit-and-runs if they get caught, so why would it be an acceptable failure mode for a machine? Who is responsible for that failure and that death, in the eyes of the court? If the answer is 'nobody', then self-driving cars will have a lot of difficulty finding acceptance.

Also, many states have regulations surrounding which colors of lights can go where on a car for these sorts of reasons - unambiguous and predictable communication is key to driving, and putting what looks like a brake light on the front of your car is confusing.
Caution: Extreme opinion below.

Artificial Intelligence is a tool. Just like anyone who uses a hammer, backhoe or dump truck is responsible for what happens when they are using it, the same is true for AI.

As a tool, all AI systems should be designed to always do the most harm to the user of the AI first. It should be embedded into every autopilot-like system, and users should be aware of that choice. It's the only moral and ethically correct solution.

Let's say your AI-controlled car is driving at speed and turning the corner, there suddenly appears a little girl in the road in front of you. It can either swerve into a wall or run down the girl. A human might not be able to make the decision in time, but an AI system would. It needs to be programmed to always hit the wall.

Though this might seem extreme, the opposite is completely immoral. If it was a human driving, one could assume bad luck to be put in that situation: aka innocent until proven guilty. But for an AI system, we have to assume the opposite: The AI should always be presumed to be faulty. Therefore the user of that AI is culpable of putting it in that situation.

And just like any other tool, the manufacturer of that tool is legally responsible for its quality and reliability.

The opposite of the above means we'll all be riding around in autonomous tanks, aggressively maneuvering around each other at higher and higher speeds, pedestrians and others be damned.
Sun was constantly blowing my mind when I first got into computing. I remember going to my first Java 1 when Sun was showing off the Java Card. There were terminals everywhere and you would just slide your card into the terminal and your X windows sessions would pop up exactly how you left it at the last terminal. I know, its just skipping the login step but it seemed so cool at the time.

Years later at a pre-maker-fair style event Sun was showing off their Java based robotic controllers. They had embedded WIFI and a compiler with a button that would upload the code directly to the device. This was before raspberry pie, IoT and "connected devices". Back then we had to physically update our controllers by attaching them to the PC. It was amazing but sadly WAY too expensive.

Was very sad when their assets got swallowed up by Oracle. I doubt we will ever see their like again.
That's a bridge I haven't crossed just yet.
But...the whole concept of the 737 MAX was, "you don't need extensive retraining of your pilots, it's still a 737, and if they can fly a 737 they can fly this with minimal retraining." Otherwise, there was no purpose in designing a plane with this design; if you started from scratch you would put the wings higher up so that the engines would fit in the normal position, and the MCAS wouldn't be necessary.

So, "equally guilty"...is equally wrong. If this pilot thinks it's not reasonable to expect a typical 737 pilot to be able to react to an MCAS failure in time, then (given two crashes in the first year of use), he's probably correct.
The first wave of many waves for Uber. They are still overvalued by a factor of 4 or 5 X.
According to this [1], fatality rates vary a lot from country to country. For example, in Germany and UK the rate is about 1/3 of the US rate.

We issue these monopolies because discovering new drugs and putting them through patient trials is expensive and actually manufacturing the drugs after you discover them is cheap. Not sure how you can solve the pricing problem without reducing innovation in the space.
Everyone who walked made their own decision.

A decision to follow the herd and a decision to take the easiest road are still decisions.

You might say that a person made a decision to break down blades of grass to create a path and that others chose to take a path already created, but they are still making choices that they are responsible for.
Microsofts acquisition of LinkedIn seems the most dubious.
I would also add that journals like Nature or Science are aiming to publish high quality, high impact work in a manner that is highly specific (i.e they can be confident such work is high quality and high impact) and hopefully communicable to a somewhat broad audience. Ground breaking ideas out of left field may need some more time to mature before such journals would be comfortable publishing such work.
It plays perfectly into the neoliberal ideal of expansive personal freedoms, enabled through technology, purchased by capital.

Why don't we see any fully autonomous buses? You could run buses 24 / 7 without worrying about drivers. The difference, people aren't going to pay 50k for a bus seat.
