I like the Google analytics integration. I wish other providers would add this feature too.

Are there any open source tools that you can use to parse a log and perhaps batch-submit to Google analytics?

> FussyZeus had a whole explanation for his/her opinion backed by his/her experience and a certain attitude towards the whole situation. Your only argument is that Amazon, Twitter, and FB do manage to give explanations. Yes, but not always, and Google that you don't mention is notorious for not giving explanations and not being able to speak to a human about it.

FZ's only cited experience is "I've done moderation for communities before." As I noted, I've done moderation for communities before. I've also worked closely with professional community managers in other positions. And as I noted elsewhere, I can't quite shake the feeling that neither FZ's experience nor mine is directly comparable to this -- being kicked off a forum is not generally going to destroy your business. "Other companies give explanations" isn't my only argument; my main argument, I'd say, is that when it's reasonable to assume cancelling someone's account will screw with their livelihood, a company should maintain a certain standard of care and communication that exceeds the standard of care a forum community manager has. Is that really such a crazy argument for me to make? (And, yes, I'll also stand by my assertion that even the forum community manager should probably meet the "we're telling you why you're banned" standard of care.)

So, anyway, I guess I agree with this:

> I have the feeling that this is not a minor violation and there is credible speculation the OP seems to have behaved in ways that might merit what happened.

I just have trouble with this:

> So I think it's premature to jump to the conclusion that Apple can and should be more forthcoming in this case.

Unless saying "we've cancelled your development account because you keep digging through private frameworks and publishing crap you know we don't want revealed" would somehow compromise an ongoing investigation (unlikely, unless there's genuine criminal activity here), I just don't think getting to that conclusion requires much of a jump.
Of course it's different but I fail to see how it is "completely" different given that the UK Royal family did actively loot ancient Britain. Tomeito tomato if you ask me.

That's an interesting idea. I love getting paywalled by some web site because I clicked a headline, especially when it's some a local news site or some other site I'll probably never visit again. I'm not signing up to read one article that I might not even like.

I thought pay per article might be a good idea, but that would just encourage click bait. And if the article is terrible, I still have to pay.

However, with a subscription to all of the news none of this would be an issue as long as it was reasonably priced.

Cool! Assuming it's a faithful port with source-level compatibility, it should work with the existing DTrace implementation I'm building. The differences between compiler toolchains are already abstracted away by the excellent `cc` crate.

In any case I already have a Windows CI build; when DTrace is ready I'll add DTrace on Windows there and see what happens.
I posted this not to advocate for Communism at all (I have a nice job in tech, and I don't want to to be subject to the reprisals that so marked the Communist take over of the Russian economy). However, the analysis is spot on.

I completely understand how the current AMD APU chips are not necessarily competitive in compute or in energy efficiency (as mroche points out).

Almost all of my company's engineers develop in Linux, and several have requested System76 laptops. The frequent clunkiness and caveats around switchable graphics that we've experienced from other OEMs has led us to purchase those laptops without dedicated/switchable graphics just to avoid potential headaches.

Just to put a thought out there: If the upcoming Renoir APU line is as performance-competitive as it is hoped to be (Zen 2 plus slightly-upgraded Radeon Vega graphics), we would likely make future laptop purchases seeking that hardware. It would be great to be able to still purchase them from System76, but I do understand that is several years away.

Either way, you guys are fantastic. Please keep fighting the good fight!
"Crypto"? The biggest Bitcoin miners are in China. That's because mining Bitcoin is "exporting", and a legit way to get yuan into dollars or euros. Buy mining hardware with yuan, mine, sell Bitcoin outside China. Not only is it legal, because it's exporting, it's encouraged and some breaks for creating an export business are available.
Doctors' wages have grown minimally ocer the last 20 years. Increased costs go to big pharma, 'not for profit' hospitals, and insurance companies, the "cartel". Meanwhile, the expense and number of years of training for high end docs increases. I am 57 and still did 4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, and 5 years postgrad. I did not do the 1 or 2 year fellowship now required for many radiology positions. Read the Proscan law suit about what happens when undertrained folks read imaging exams. It is not the shortcut needed to save healthcare. We can pay docs fairly if we get 80 percent of care away from hospitals where it costs 3 times more than it does elsewhere. Because hospitals employ or subsidize 70 percent of docs, most care happens there. That is really a huge part of the problem.
These are prescription medications being taken under the supervision of both a psychiatrist and a doctor. Again, I'm actually cutting back on the medications. I was on a much higher dose before.

I find it very funny that themes of self-realisation, self-discovery and insanity are often mentioned together. It's almost as if you have to be slightly mad to actually live a little.

And the moment you begin to express your joy of living, people come out to say "You should be careful. You might be going crazy." and other people, who have lost their fear in a similar way, come out to congratulate you on your self-development.

It's almost as if every idea is a double-edged sword if you take the time to examine it.

Interestingly it might just have to do with the age of the roads. When I was living in Baltimore in the late 80s my fellow Californians complained how bad the roads were in Maryland compared to LA. Now 30 years later the roads in California are bad too. IIUC much of Korea's roads are new-ish so it's possible in 30 years they'll be in the same state. .... or not of course. Maybe Korea is just better at maintaining roads.

It's common for ambitious employees in not-so-ambitious tech companies to lose their jobs over not realizing that the optimal strategy for keeping their job is to just do their work as told, collect a pay cheque, and not innovate.

In these companies, the fastest way to get canned is to believe you are there to help the company succeed by trying to innovate, and in the process of doing so, imply there are flaws with how it's currently being done.

Would love to see a roadmap added for embedded development or system level programming etc. There is a huge emphasis on "the web" when it comes to software engineering, that people forget (especially college students figuring out a career path), that there are many jobs in defence, hardware companies, etc. that develop software without using any web technologies at all.
This is a common mis-conception, but the answer is no.

The 1976 Haken-Appel proof of the 4CC, now 4CT, proved that provided there was a collection of graphs that satisfied a certain criterion, the conjecture was true. In essence, they need a collection such that every graph had one (or more) of them as a sub-graph (the collection is unavoidable), and such that each of them was "reducible".

Finding such a collection was tedious and error-prone, and then checking that each had the required property was also tedious and error-prone, so they programmed computers to construct the collection and verify the properties.

The computer did not prove anything, and the structure of the proof is fairly easy to understand.
My current guess is that none of the games that have the contracts signed are actually optimized very well at all for Vulkan. Hell, it could even be that Google had to write some kind of compatibility layer so that games could just use whatever engine they happen to be using, which would obviously mean that 10+ teraflops means nothing. I appreciate the use of Vulkan, since the current situation of a brand-new graphics api for every OS/hardware combination is terrible, but it is the more difficult road.

So this means that they are _technically_ keeping their promise, since they are recording the game at 4k 60... but that obviously doesn't matter if the game can't get close to outputting that. Gylt is an exclusive, so if anything is running at 4k it would be that, but I'll have to wait for my controller to show up tomorrow to find out.

EDIT: Just looked it up, and RDR2 supports Vulkan since the PC release, apparently. That's interesting, and kinda blows up my argument.

I would call PBS’s bias center to center-left, along with the nytimes, huffpost, the guardian, most late night shows, and most slate writers. It sounds like you are describing the wall street journal, bloomberg, the economist, the washington post. It’s pretty difficult to go further right without bumping into fox news, breitbart, the drudge report, the blaze, rush limbaugh, etc.

For actual left bias, see: the baffler, the intercept, jacobin, mother jones, counterpunch, the nation, and oddly teen vogue. If PBS is left, those are surely falling off the spectrum.

Finally podcasts cater across the spectrum. I can’t help with specific examples here, but you can certainly find anyone from anarchists and communists to democratic socialists to liberals to libertarians to blatant far right wing shit (monarchism?, “racial realists”, “trumpists”).
These are dark times when the wealthiest, most pampered, and (importantly) bored people on the planet are frustrated about 'microaggressions' while China does what it does.

The article's suggestions for curbing gun-related massacres:

4. Bullet Proof Clothing. Really?

5. Eliminate Wealth Gap. Because that entitled twit at the local prep school was motivated by the "wealth gap".

I'm frankly surprised he didn't suggest #6 Nuclear Weapons. As Einstein said: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". This would, trivially, fix the problem and actually works because it attacks the core issue: people.
> Get people to buy into your plans in a large organization is not easy.

The trick is usually not to approach it that way. Learn about others' goals and help them out with a step or two in a way that also benefits the goals of others, perhaps your own even. Make sure everyone sees the success when it happens.

Do that over and over and you have a form of leadership.

"Visioncasting" and such can work too, but typically organizational alignment is more organic and ad hoc than hierarchical and executive. There are exceptions in highly structured groups, though.
More reading for the pile. Thanks!
We have a similar technique, I put my stuff in the same place all the time. But only because I was sick of misplacing them for many years.

I think there are a lot of people that don't have tendencies towards systems/self rules to solve issues like this, so they casually smash through life care free and forget where they put their keys "this time". (based on many people I know)

If we embraced this philosophy none of us would be typing quickly on touch screen phones. Steve Jobs knew it beat a physical keyboard, and when pressed by people who complained about the new iPhone's touchscreen keyboard, he grinned and said "You'll get used to it." And oh boy, did they ever.

I'm not exactly sure which tests you've gotten. It may be the case that the audiologist will only test a few frequencies for someone who is likely to have good hearing. But if you are fitted for hearing aids they will test a range of frequencies from 100 Hz to 8000 Hz.

Almost all cases of hearing loss have hearing loss at high frequencies, so they may be able to screen you by just checking at higher frequencies. As far as I know, losing bass frequencies first only comes from specific conditions like Meniere's disease.

>grotesquely abused

Yeah that would be disrespectful. Kind of moving the goalposts though to use that example when talking about organ transplant, something that helps people who might otherwise die. Obviously I am not saying execution is worth it for that. Just more that if someone is dead already for whatever reason, it's hard to see it as a bad thing to help the living, if that can be done.

I mean if we're going to fashion extreme examples for dramatic effect, that can be done on the other side too. Imagine if the relatives have racist objections to donating an organ, and let someone die because their own feelings would be hurt if they saw a person of the "wrong" race being helped. How do you weigh their racist feelings, versus the life being saved? It's not that clear to me that their feelings should be at the forefront when other factors are considered.

I agree that dignity in death is a good thing. Just not so certain as you that there is only one way to get there. And none of this is to claim that China does what they do with dignity... I highly doubt that. But organ transplants are not such a terrible thing.
Looks like this can be done:

> Even more cost-effectively, simply coating the satellites with a very dark, low-albedo outer layer would go a long way to reducing the astronomically polluting effects of this constellation.

> Albedo reduction, it is very clear from the current Starlink satellites, was not even considered as part of the design. By incorporating some common sense steps to reduce it — and I know plenty of astronomers willing to help with recommendations — the apparent brightness of these satellites can be reduced by a factor of approximately ~100.

My examples were deliberately dumb, but I’ve certainly use this ability to pattern match at arbitrary depth innumerable times. It most commonly appears when looking at a tuple of N values, and I want to enumerate specific pairings of values.

Nevertheless, if that was the only benefit of it, one might argue it’d be more of a party trick. But it’s simply one more facet of a very powerful, simple-to-use technique for expressing how your code reacts to the shape of your data.

I’m curious how much exposure you’ve had to languages which support it — you might find it more useful than you think.
Seems quite complicated. Why not just use while-loop? :-)

(in other words a language which provides it)
Depends. Falcon 9 is almost entirely filled with helium when it lands.
They make that as a commission for separating end users from their money, and Apple has made that a really seamless process.

But while developer support certainly is correlated with that income, it's not tied to it closely enough to make it a priority. If they were to spend an extra $20M/year on developer support, would it really lead to the extra $67M/year in app purchases needed to just break even? Whereas if they just directly charged for premium developer support, they could set the price to whatever it needed to be for that business unit to make a profit.

Many people view this as wanting to help solve a problem.

Chrome on MacOS does use the Mac's built-in system. Going to the privacy settings (chrome://settings/privacy), and clicking "Manage certificates" just launches the MacOS "Keychain Access" application.

To get Chrome on MacOS to use my employer's self-signed root certificate, I just had to import it with "Keychain Access" and then both Chrome and Safari used it.

It may also have its own built-in certificate system, but for user-added certificates, it uses the built in MacOS system.
