The title is alarming enough that I immediately searched for a way to block it.

Apparently, this is only specific to Chrome on Windows:

> [it] looks through your computer in search of malware that targets the Chrome browser itself using ESET’s antivirus engine. If it finds some suspected malware, it sends metadata of the file where the malware is stored, and some system information, to Google. Then, it asks you to for permission to remove the suspected malicious file.

Seems fairly reasonable.. At least I'm not affected by it, being primarily on Mac and Linux.

Another comment here mentions "Chrome scanning utility" on a MacBook though. Ideally I wouldn't use Chrome at all, but I need it for developing and testing web applications.

Just wanted to mention this open-source firewall (macOS application) called Lulu, with which you can (mostly?) block Chrome and other apps/services from phoning home behind the scenes.

...which is not respected at many smaller airports/airfields. If you plan to land your machine at a local French airport, you better be prepared to speak French !
Yeah, thanks for saying that in English, I wouldn't have been able to understand you in any other language.
> 2. Automated tests for “broken” front end based on how the side renders on various devices. Pretty sure a machine learning model can recognize broken design. I still think it’s a good idea but potentially a pretty complicated sell!

Now that's a pretty neat idea. I don't know about recognizing subjectively broken design, but recognizing discrepancies between screenshots seems quite doable. Could be a good thing to integrate into a test suite.
Ddg is a wrapper around Bing. They may incorporate other results as well.
Fun little note, the programming language's name means 'Heart' in Arabic.

This makes me wonder if perhaps a abandoning language entirely and relying on symbols for syntax might be the way forward, I have found that the more a language tries to emulate writing the more ambiguous it becomes, maybe the opposite will yield better results, perhaps we could choose to make the language resemble a diagram. Very interesting and thought provoking project.

It seems like a pretty solid interim release, introducing some exciting(ish) new functionality with ZFS and NVIDIA drivers. For my part I prefer to wait for the LTS releases.
There is a big difference between the changestream of many SQL and noSQL databases, and what RxDB does.
Having a stream of changes is useful but not the whole solution.
RxDB is capable of using single document changes of a stream and recalculate the new results of an existing query. This saves you not only much IO performance but makes developing much easier. See https://rxdb.info/query-change-detection.html
its all just a for loop anyway...you can do the same if you put tiny wrapper on db-local server to avoid network and you'll get the same result.

Nowadays I actively avoid Jenkins for almost everything after seeing it fail in companies of different sizes (mostly medium/big ones).

Not that Jenkins itself is bad but keeping the base and plugins up-to-date is really painful. There are a lot of plugins, yes, but many are basically inactive or poorly written (some are really good tho).

The good thing is that there are some alternatives to Jenkins, even very good ones if you have money to spend.

I did what you mention 22 years ago when I was 16, to create an “Italian version” of BASIC. I just chose suitable analogues in Italian for all the various keywords and fed it through a glorified Find/Replace script before handing off to the QBASIC interpreter. Of course Italian’s pretty strict word order helped a bit.

Two options:

1. LC_ALL=C $command to get the universal version of the error to search/report

2. Add a numerical error code that remains stable across locales
that's certainly funny up to the day where you have to debug a codebase where all the function names and comments are in japanese.
Also, I lost so much time searching for issues in badly-localized error messages that I nowadays just set my computers in english even though it's not my main language. It's just more efficient.
I took this to mean that they're interested in a more rigorous treatment.

When you grow up in a buddhist family it's more like something that's always there. My parents were heavy meditators (1 hour+/day) so I would often just hang out with them. They probably half taught me a few dozen times when I was young, it's a culture thing. Kinda like growing up a Christian household I'm sure you accumulate random knowledge about the bible, god and jesus. When I was older I went through some more official training but it was purely an interest thing, they let me pick my own path. These days I meditate but I do it in a purely secular non religious way.

Stalkerware: The software that spies on your partner
I'm based in London, UK and currently working on idea for a fintech for gig workers. The idea is to be the aggregrator for gig workers and have a marketplace where we partner with the likes of credit unions for loans/savings products for example. I'm currently doing customer development and revamping the website based on the interviews so far.

Still doing this part-time as I have a day job as a Data Scientist at a UK Fintech Alt Lender. Although I have technical skills (I can code python), they aren't that great and I'm looking to partner with someone technical.

I see a big opporunity for this so very likely to go the VC route rather than the Indie route.

If anyone is interested please shoot me an email freddie@earnedit.co.uk.

Energy is force times distance. If you can only exert a tiny force, you can compensate with enough distance, providing the losses in the system aren't too great.
I'm not sure that I accept the distinction between technical issues and accessibility issues in the case of programming languages. Any Turing-complete language, given the right tooling, can be used to solve any software problem. Ultimately, we only use languages other than FORTRAN (or even assembly, for that matter) because it's easier.
There is definitely a difference. If you don't hear it, you might be saying one of them incorrectly? Wiktionary has audio files for input (English) and put (Dutch) if you need a comparison. In IPA the difference is ʊ vs ʏ. In terms of describing it to a Dutch person I would say the English u is somewhere between the Dutch u and the Dutch oe sounds.

From my old law courses (IANAL but someone decided programmers should have a basic knowledge of law):

* An illegal monopoly should not be absolute. Having >20% of the market has been enough te be considered a monopoliy for antitrust. The main question is if your actions dominate the market.

* But having a monopoly is not enough. You can have 100% of the market and be legal. Abusing the monopoly is the problem. Abuse is typically crushing smaller competitors, or using your monopoly in 1 market to push yourself to another market.

* Is google abusing its potential email monopoly? My non-lawyer guess is no. Being non-responsive and arrogant is not illegal.

* But the google browser and search engine might very well be other stories. Here google seems dominant enough to influence web standards and change other corporations behaviour to raise in their search index.

* I don't think US or EU governement are willing to step in, though.
Most of the time a mining vehicle (or any other vehicle used in a similar setting) is not moving it is nowhere near a plug. It's not like buses or delivery vehicles where they only ever stop when they're at some sort of "home base" where they can charge. A mining vehicle is sitting around somewhere remote while the operator gets out and surveys something or fixes something (or it sits there with HVAC blasting while they do paperwork).

I'm afraid you're wrong here, Jacques.

When you refer to specific threads going back and forth this may be. But here's my counter example.

I sent emails to my girlfriend's gmail address from my own domain hosted on a mail server run by a reputable company for years with no problem, whatsoever.

Then, on vacation in Thailand, my rather elaborate trip reports for which there's really no plausible explanation that they could be spam, suddenly bounced.

Sent from the same domain from which I sent mail for years and Google suddenly branded me a spammer and refused to deliver those mails even to her spam folder.

The auto-reply from Google is about as useless as you would expect. There are a few links, which are neither informative nor do they help to resolve the issue.

I worked around the problem by sending mails from my own Gmail account, but it left a really rotten feeling around the lines:

NICE COMMUNICATION YOU HAVE GOING THERE, WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO IT!

So I guess your assertion is wrong. Our exchange went on for a minimum of four years. Always from the same account and suddenly I was deemed an evil spammer.

It really sucks.

or they tweak them to cause more people to switch to gmail.

That, actually, is my suspicion. It's easy to brand that as "protecting their user base", but in reality make it so cumbersome that you're not able to send mail to a significant percentage of users over which Google controls their email unless you switch to Google for email.

As you say it's already happening for project where all the documentation is not in English.

Sometimes the questions are also just broken. I.e. asking you to select the things that do not apply, but the answer would have been to opposite.
Sure, that's handy as an extra feature to get better performance, but I see that even in RxDB it's currently in beta and turned off by default.

I suppose this could be the killer feature to warrant using a new database -- because otherwise, from a user point of view, the result is the same.
“Real-time” in JS tends to refer to approaches like websockets.
Not only that, you can see people trying to escape the divisions on the programming language landscape, for example on the data-science field Python is miles ahead of any other language (and such homogeneity is widely seen as a good thing).

From what I've heard, Lotus Improv (1991, failed 1996) was intended as a spreadsheet where each data set was stored in a separate namespace/object/table, which had named columns/rows, or even more than 2 dimensions. Apparently Quantrix is a successor used in the business/financial world, but is unfortunately not free or open-source. That's a shame, as I want something of that sort for casual scientific computation or statistical number crunching. Maybe I can use Python pandas or R dataframes, but spreadsheets have the useful trait that they're functional and side-effect-free, unlike scripts or notebooks.
Because man-hours is the limiting factor in software that is made. Additional software simply gives you more options to choose from. Yes, it contributes to noise, but it's nothing like building two bridges.

I have been developing something that provides this functionality for PostgreSQL: https://github.com/supabase/realtime

It's still in very early stages (although I am using it in production for my company)

It's very similar to Debezium (mentioned in another comment), but it's built with Phoenix (elixir), so great for listening via websockets.

Basically the Phoenix server listens to PostgreSQL's replication functionality and converts the byte stream into JSON which it then broadcasts over websockets. This is great since you can scale the Phoenix servers without any additional load on your DB. Also it doesn't require wal2json (a Postgres extension). The beauty of listening to the replication functionality is that you can make changes to your database from anywhere - your api, directly in the DB, via a console etc - and you will still receive the changes via Phoenix.

I still have to document a lot of how it works and how to use it, but if anyone is interested then I will make it a priority over the weekend

With the proliferation of different screen sizes and zoom factors, these kinds of usability problems will continue to happen. The only way I see around this is by re-introducing the 'obvious scroll bar' element, or alternatively a different kind of indicator that advertises where the current view is in relation to the entire content.
That link says the correct form is The Bible:

> Titles should be written in title case. This means only using capital letters for the principal words. Articles, conjunctions, and prepositions do not get capital letters unless they start the title. For example:

I'm personally torn on the new share sheet. It's actually fast now, which is nice, and I like the fact that it (supposedly) can put contacts in the top bar that I talk to frequently (which I guess no app has added support for yet?) But it's still a bit confusing how it's organized, and now it has two planes of scrolling and sometimes apps disappear off of them unless I pin them in "Favorites" or something like that and the list only has a limited number of items unless I go into the "More" option. But more on point, I don't get why it doesn't flash scroll indicators…isn't that the standard way that iOS has hinted at scrollable content for years?
No, Chrome didnt kill your Macbook, Apple shoddy cooling design and defective Nvidia GPU did.
So it's not really realtime... No ?
