I would guess it's because a lot of tmux users don't use a mouse on the text console.
Sounds like a - gasp! - data format.
That’s what I’m saying! I must have really hit a sour nerve, my comment was apparently so bad that it got flagged and my post history was torn through to add tons of downvotes.
Will removing the battery but leaving the SIM card in be enough, though? It seems surprising that the phone would be able to send a signal without the battery for very long
The author’s point is moot. XML is a markup language intended to convey semantics. By its nature it is a data markup language, because the intent is that a particular type of information lives in specific tags.

For humans, this is documents with certain meanings attached. For computers, it’s documents with certain meanings attached.

It’s all data. XML is a data markup language. It’s just that humans call it “semantics” in a “document.”

> Where are the "right" places to use XML?

Tim Bray, co-editor of the XML spec, writing in 2006 on the topic:

> Use JSON: Seems easy to me; if you want to serialize a data structure that’s not too text-heavy and all you want is for the receiver to get the same data structure with minimal effort, and you trust the other end to get the i18n right, JSON is hunky-dory.

> Use XML: If you want to provide general-purpose data that the receiver might want to do unforeseen weird and crazy things with, or if you want to be really paranoid and picky about i18n, or if what you’re sending is more like a document than a struct, or if the order of the data matters, or if the data is potentially long-lived (as in, more than seconds) XML is the way to go.

> that's as realistic as saying that police commits crimes so that they can get extra reward from the new tasks.

So very realistic then?

Or have you not encountered the numerous incidents where cops plant and manufacture evidence to frame people for various reasons such as increasing their numbers for a promotion or bad culture leading to quotas for arrests/tickets/etc.?
That would be great.

Apparently Apple phones will silently phone home an SMS as an iMessage heartbeat when you turned off data.

I bought a SIM card in France, loaded 10 EUR for a 9,95 plan. But my balance declined to 9,85 despite having data turned off and not making any calls/SMSs.

There was no record in Messages, but my provider showed me sending a text.

Ugh. Another 5 EUR added just to buy the 9,95 plan.
The people who made choices that enable these issues, while complaining about other options that prevent these issues?
People will spend money to going on a working vacation in a developing country with primitive facilities, or pay to drive a handsom cab, or many other far more pedestrian activities than big wall climbing. Money should be used to do things that are personally important and satisfy deep values and goals. Forget about those who think you're supposed to use money solely for buying "stuff".
Tesla is producing as many cars as they can. The production line for the Model 3 is running at full capacity for some months now. With Tesla expanding into more markets, the number of cars sold in the US have to go down. But with the new Gigafactory in Shanghai coming on line these days, the production numbers are going to climb rapidly.
Phones with multiple camera are starting to become common. Time of flight sensors that use projected infrared patterns aren't trivial to out in a phone so the demand needs to be there. Still, there have been tablets that have integrated Intel's depth cameras.
I don't see where it is canceled. The closest thing I see to canceled, is postponed.

From the update:

That leaves a lot of wiggle room.

What do you mean by 'basic research' and why would any of the organizations that you mention be incentivized to solve the problems that plague the homebuilding industry?
My primary frontend blog/website (https://www.impressivewebs.com/) is mostly passive, I post maybe one article per month, usually not even that much. The blog has been active for about 10 years, so I get lots of SEO traffic, which brings in about $400-500 per month.

I also sell ebooks that are compilations of articles and tips from my newsletter (see below) on Leanpub and Amazon. (https://leanpub.com/b/javascriptdombundle)

My main newsletter (https://webtoolsweekly.com/) is now also a regular income stream (about $400-700 per month and growing), but not exactly passive. Takes regular research, writing, etc. But it’s fun to do and leads to all sorts of paid tech writing projects.

Finally, my newest newsletter (https://techproductivity.co/) is not yet making money but that’s starting to change as the subscription number has started to rise to a decent number and it’s very easy to write that one, maybe 2 hours of work per week.
It is somewhat trial and error but a lot of it is based on recommendations. It took me 4-5 years before I found a handyman type that I trust to just take care of little things. But for other things I signed up with larger known brands. Like our AC maintenance contract is with one hour AC for all our units, this means they take care of preventative maintenance as well as fix things as needed at a reasonable rate.

Plumbing I found through trial and error, and to be fair for any job where I see a bigger repair bill, e.g. > $500 I'll generally get quotes to keep everyone honest. There are exceptions of course, but when I start seeing bigger repairs being requested it sends up some red flags because we maintain everything really tightly.

Our lawn service and our pest service are the same ones we have do all the units and our own home too. We found both of them through a referral and tried them at our home first. Then slowly gave them more.
Margins are highest in the US market (especially considering ZEV credits). Model mix may differ, but they’re shipping their lowest end models to Europe and China; those would be more profitable to sell in the US.
They both agreed to split. Totally different situation there.
Agreed. I used to run all my traffic through a VPN I ran, and found that the average latency was lower than routing it to the default gateway.

This was possible because my server was well connected and very low latency talking to Comcast, and also very low latency talking to the rest of the Internet via Level-3, Time Warner, QWest and InterNAP. Where directly routed traffic would run over the Comcast network most of the way across the country.
This is the Internet and it's bound to happen. If not me, someone else would have, and probably already, pointed it out.

I'm also not sure what you are referring to with "the author made his intentions and wishes clear", but think my pointing out of the git history has nothing to do with it.

Thinking my comment is in any way going to influence the fate of this repository seems a bit far fetched.
Looking at the numbers, it seems French household debt to income has actually surpassed American (both around the 100% of disposable income) in just the last few years. French ratios have been gradually increasing for the last 25 years and American has been falling for the last decade.

One factor is Americans have significantly higher disposable income and can service more debt.

I think it's probably a mix. In the end, it's easy enough to know about the + addressing google and other services use. Also, getting a list of disposable mail hosts, or otherwise having analytical data on the mail host, servers, etc.

Disclosure: I worked for a company that did usage scoring of email addresses as well as others for managing email marketing etc, my opinions are my own.

Is there a published list of Root CA fingerprints a specific version of OS or browser is supposed to have that I can compare to? In other words, how can one tell if their browser/OS is not compromised with undesirable Root CAs.
Most of the failures have multiple backups, and most scenarios are also accounted for on how to handle them.

So maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how autopilots couldn't be programmed to handle most kinds of failures (engine failure etc). Unless the failure is with the autopilot itself of course (which could have backup systems)

Most of the accidents with airplanes are caused by humans (https://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qtr_...). So the real question is if automatic recovery would still be incapable of offsetting all the human errors.
It's interesting how one community sees the rainbow lorikeet as an invasive pest that needs to be eliminated and another community is carefully redesigning buildings to save the poor rainbow lorikeets.

Holy moly. Sales fell by more than a third: "Tesla’s auto sales during the third quarter quarter took a hit, falling by more than $2 billion, or 36% from a year ago, to $3.13 billion."
Also, beside the point. I agree it is not nasty on the surface. But it sure is a callous sentiment—you will submit to our privacy invasion or take a hike. FU indeed.
> iPadOS, as distinct from iOS, is fairly new software

Isn’t this just marketing bullshit from Apple? The number of new features in iPadOS that aren’t supported on all iOS devices is comparable to previous major iOS releases. I have found it to be especially buggy at launch compared to those previous releases though.
That is definitely the best to use with xpath
I'm not the one doing that. People using XML as something else than a document markup language are. Which is what the article author is complaining about. But if you really want to do that, then at least do it properly. Record fields have predefined names, just like XML elements have predefined names. Dictionary keys can be arbitrary, like XML text nodes or attribute values but emphatically not element or attribute names, unless your "XML" is actually just tag soup.
Email or text. I setup Twilio as my go between so I can receive and send texts (or calls) to renters without them having my personal number. There are a couple of long term renters who I have had for many years that have my personal cell, but most don't.

Earning report driven production?

Do other automakers do that? Seems like you risk alienating a big chunk of your local market (wait goes from 1 week to 9 weeks based on the week in the quarter cycle you are in), to see a temp bump in earning reports?
So, let me have the software features and I'll toss a few bucks their way.

Of course one could argue that the iPhone 8/X, XS, XR buyers did finance the R&D for it. Each year Apple has beat their neural engine drum but it wasn't until this year that they really introduced features that took great advantage of it. Sure, they used it for FaceID, but I'll wager it didn't really tax the silicon much.
I believe in this case it is server-size analytics. The case were this would have been significan would have been with self-hosted instances as there gitlab controls neither the servers not the clients
Thank you. That's exactly right.

Unfortunately the problem has deep roots, and the corporations you mention have a track record of either turning a blind eye to bad behavior when the perpetrator is a popular open-source figure (Google), or actively supporting it because the victims are employed by a competitor (Red Hat).

In general, open-source communities are still stuck in the middle ages from an HR perspective. You can be the victim of terrible behavior, and have no recourse at all, because the project itself has no clear legal requirement to protect you, and none of the corporate sponsors will take responsibility for protecting you in the same way they protect their own employees; even if in practice they are the only ones with the power to do so. The result is a legal limbo where people can get away with terrible behavior. I've seen people get crushed by this, it's kafkaesque.
Do you have any independent sources of that?
If you want the absolute best to win the climbing competition, that's a viable strategy and totally worth the money for.

But for a casual climber like me whose best grade is 3級(Japanese grade standard, equivalent of 6a+/6b or V3) and climb once per week in a indoor gym, it's a diminishing return.

I want my shoes to be durable enough for at least 9 months. The resole is cheaper but necessary effort for the resole(bring shoes to the resole service, negotiating how I would like to be resoled) is a quite hassle for me. So I'd rather buy a new shoes.
Napoleon is underrated not only as a military general, but as a builder of civilization and a visionary of what it could be. Too often he's just seen as another general who was pretty good during that time when warfare was very orderly and everyone wore garish uniform. But countries were scared of him, deftly scared of him (especially Great Britain, but mainly because they didn't want another country that wanted to conquer the world as much as they did). There's a reason why Europe went ~100 years without another continent-wide war.
There have been a few phones which provided that, notably the HTC Evo 3D. It had dual cameras and an autostereoscopic (glasses-free 3D) display.

The value provided was, IMO, quite minimal. It was not easier to use or better in any user-facing discernible way, the 3D stuff just felt like a gimmick. 3D photos taken by the phone and viewed on its screen did not feel more lifelike. The color depth and image quality was poor even by the standards of other phones of its era.

While it was very cool and felt very futuristic, it did not feel worth the cost.
I think that wouldn't apply because you are not distributing your modified version.
-u and -p don't seem to be needed anymore? The script complained so I dropped them. Also, I used the "F" cookie for -ce.

This is why I hate those “why you shouldn’t use VPN” articles.
Sia has always positioned itself as a backend platform for services to build on. This is why they have invested so heavily in their API.

We agree with many of your points, and that's why we created Filebase[1]. We provide S3-compatible object storage at a fraction of the price and use Sia on our backend.

Even anonymous cohort analysis can be super useful as a product manager. If you want to encourage usage of a particular feature and the most successful users of that feature fit into a cohort, you can reach out to them for feedback, optimize paths between those features, improve documentation connecting relevant features together, etc.

This doesn't mean its malicious or all about the $$$...it might be that users that set up GitLab CI have 40% fewer security incidents and they want to encourage that behavior as a better customer outcome with the overall product.

edit: and this behavior might take place over a long period of time, not something you can get from access logs or just-in-time stats.
If people can build and maintain huge ad blocking databases, I don't see why custom clients and APIs for sites would be out of reach. For example, youtube-dl has handlers for specific sites, gets constantly updated to deal with changes and has a generic video scraper it falls back on.

I posted about this idea on reddit and someone showed me this:

https://weboob.org/

Something like this could change the web.
My guess was that it was just seen as easier to drop in a third party analytics component in as opposed to doing via their own backend.
FYI - after you do this on Mac OS you can't copy to the system clipboard from the buffer using mouse unless you push `fn` before you click on the pane.

I think there are workarounds to get from the tmux copy buffer onto the system clipboard but I usually just `Ctrl-b z` to zoom the pane to full-screen, hold down `fn` button to select text, then `Ctrl-C` like normal.

Well, XML is a markup language (and is really good at being that) while JSON is not. Sure, XML can be used as a poor man's data storage, as a base for a DSL, etc., but almost always there are better choices.

How do you redirect without injecting content?
Assuming we're all using the word "nasty" to mean spiteful or unpleasant, I think it's quite fair to call that comment by the CFO nasty toward users. The CFO is literally saying that users should not have a choice about how their data is used. Now, that may be a "reasonable" business decision for GitLab to make, but it's still quite fair to call it nasty toward users. Again, it's literally the CFO instructing the GitLab product team to remove a choice from their users about how their users' data is being used. Middle fingers and feelings of entitlement may also be nasty, but this comment from the CFO is, in my view, pretty much textbook nasty.

> Without visibility, the motorist and cyclist could be on a collision course and not even know it until it's too late.

No. You don't seem to understand how protected intersections work. The design of the intersection itself forces cars to slow down quite a lot to make the turn. You can see this here: https://images.app.goo.gl/XnppCCtEhs8vdgd39

Plus, generally you make the parking lane end a bit before the actual intersection, precisely to improve visibility.

Anyway, as I said, parking protected is not the ideal situation anyway. It's a compromise with municipalities that aren't ready to give up more street parking in the interest of safety.

What you're describing is vehicular cycling, which has been a complete failure. There are zero countries that use it with high rates of safe biking, whereas there are a bunch of countries that use protected lanes and intersections with success that directly correlates with how much they're used, with the Netherlands being the foremost example.
I'm not sure they are equivalent. One is being done by someone else perhaps without your knowledge (most people are not tech savvy and won't even understand what Comcast has done). The other is being done by you explicitly to your own "copy" of the work. I don't think the ad-blocker argument would hold up in court.

But this line of reasoning got me thinking...I've seen some pretty loose interpretations of the CFAA over the years. I'm not sure what the law says about Comcast's privileged position as an ISP, but I would think that in most cases, specifically altering data between two networks counts as unauthorized access, no?
Take Deep Fusion. Even if that were to take a little longer, have it run over my photos at night while I'm plugged in.
Yeah, people back then should have written angry replies to Google's and Facebook's advance warnings about the tracking they were planning on doing. /s
I don't think that's true. You can see real time stats for the Netherlands, Norway and Spain on this site:

An email is being sent right now, but emailing at scale... takes time:

---8<---

Dear GitLab users and customers,

On October 23, we sent an email entitled “Important Updates to our Terms of Service and Telemetry Services” announcing upcoming changes. Based on considerable feedback from our customers, users, and the broader community, we reversed course the next day and removed those changes before they went into effect. Further, GitLab will commit to not implementing telemetry in our products that sends usage data to a third-party product analytics service. This clearly struck a nerve with our community and I apologize for this mistake.

So, what happened? In an effort to improve our user experience, we decided to implement user behavior tracking with both first and third-party technology. Clearly, our evaluation and communication processes for rolling out a change like this were lacking and we need to improve those processes. But that’s not the main thing we did wrong.

Our main mistake was that we did not live up to our own core value of collaboration by including our users, contributors, and customers in the strategy discussion and, for that, I am truly sorry. It shouldn’t have surprised us that you have strong feelings about opt-in/opt-out decisions, first versus third-party tracking, data protection, security, deployment flexibility and many other topics, and we should have listened first.

So, where do we go from here? The first step is a retrospective that is happening on October 29 to document what went wrong. We are reaching out to customers who expressed concerns and collecting feedback from users and the wider community. We will put together a new proposal for improving the user experience and share it for feedback. We made a mistake by not collaborating, so now we will take as much time as needed to make sure we get this right. You can be part of the collaboration by posting comments in this issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/5672 If you are a customer, you may also reach out to your GitLab representative if you have additional feedback.

I am glad you hold GitLab to a higher standard. If we are going to be transparent and collaborative, we need to do it consistently and learn from our mistakes.

Sincerely,
Sid Sijbrandij
Co-Founder and CEO

Authoritarian sentiment at it’s best. Ignore the attacker and focus the discussion on the rudeness of the victim’s response.
Not really the same thing at all. Comcast is modifying content, and profiting off a service that delivers that derivative content. That is clear willful infringement. User modifying their own content locally is not infringement, since the content is not redelivered or sold.

You're free to tear up your copy of Harry Potter once you buy it from the bookstore, but you're not free to (as the bookstore) add a prologue to every book and sell it as Harry Potter by Comcast.
