I agree that this is an excellent approach, but the wording should be a lot clearer. When I see “This site uses cookies to offer you a better browsing experience” and a yes/no choice, I assume I’ll be missing out if I choose 'no'. Really, there should be an explicit reference to 'tracking', and a reassurance that everything will work perfectly if I choose 'yes'.

> the commit history is used for other things too, not just to find bugs using bisect.

Is it? People assume this, but I'm not convinced they use it for anything else in practice.

> if that was the case we would not need any commit messages in the first place.

I'd be interested in a VCS that followed through on this. Give PRs messages, maybe have some way to attach messages to tags, but permit individual commits to be anonymous.

> how much effort does it take to explain the change in a sentence? if it is a small change then it also will be a small commit message.

More effort than writing the change, often enough. In a high-quality codebase the code change should speak for itself. (And if it doesn't, you may well end up needing an explanatory comment in the code anyway).

It wasn't just speed for me, but uninterrupted flow. WordStar is probably the best example. Doing things like adjusting formatting, printing, saving a copy, etc...didn't pull my mind away from what I was writing.

It's no longer practical because of the initial learning curve. So I'm not arguing for going back. But it did have advantages beyond just being faster.

> Wouldn't they always use fingerprinting if that is more powerful?

Fingerprinting is less reliable and more difficult to use, but it's powerful enough that multiple companies will have a clear picture of your browsing history whether your browser blocks third party cookies or not.

Fingerprinting is worse for users because you don't have control over it. If you open a private browsing window, close it, and open another one you're a different user from a cookie perspective but the same user from a fingerprinting perspective.

> what will their (business and thus vital) interest in doing this probably be?

My understanding from what Chrome has said publicly is that they're trying to get both (a) websites can make similar money from ads as they do now, keeping browsing free and (b) users have much more privacy than they do now, keeping third parties from being able to compile browsing histories for users.

Users benefit from (a) because they value these sites and from (b) because they don't want their browsing histories leaked.
Signs 'pop' because they are very effectively retro-reflective (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector). The brighter headlights with a wider beam would be casting a moderate amount of light on the sign, which causes it to light up brightly in contrast with the surroundings.

The ones in the UK can be so effective that sometimes I have to switch off my full beams so I don't get blinded by the signs (and I'm not driving a new car with fancy headlights).

My questions for any company that collects location data or receives it from a third party would include:

Do you associate the geo data with individualized identifiers? In other words, can individual data points be linked to one another (linkability)? (Obviously the answer is yes for whichever company this dataset came from)

Do you resell the raw data to other third parties, and if so, what kind of vetting and data controls are levied upon them? Where are these customers located? Let us see one of your contracts.

I generally think this story would have be more impactful if the Times tried to pose as a customer and bought the data from a company to expose flaws in that system. As it stands, the location companies are very willing to admit they sell this data, but they would claim that nothing bad will happen to you. Disprove that and now there’s a cause for action.
You could!

My immediate followons to that would be:

- How would you jam a multimeter into the socket safely?

- What information will the multimeter not tell you about the AC voltage signal?

If you read the links I posted above, Chrome's plan is not "implement fingerprinting resistance while leaving third party cookies alone". It's "implement fingerprinting resistance, add new APIs that give privacy preserving ways of doing some of the things third party cookies are used for today, and remove third party cookies".
Works fine in PyPy, which is not surprising since the execution model is entirely different.
There are other thinkable causes: Air pollution reduces total daylight exposure of people, and light has been observed to have strong effects on mood and mental health, among other things.

In a different lifetime I got to take a few classes with Jerry Fodor, and although this publication references him extensively, one of his most succinct arguments for the computational theory of mind is only alluded to: the lack of alternatives.

Fodor was a snappy writer and talker. I urge you to view his videos if they can be found on YouTube. Unfortunately he passed away recently.

The argument goes something like this:

1. The computational theory of mind is the only remotely plausible theory of mind we have

2. A remotely plausible theory is better than none at all
Writing BPF Code in Rust
Not only does your website not have to make money, it doesn’t have to:

- make money via advertising

- make money via advertising that tracks the user

- make money via advertising that tracks the user and hands over that data to a third party

- make money via advertising that tracks the user, hands over that data to a third party, and opens a security hole in doing so

I’m increasingly annoyed as I go down that list, but I might be willing to accept some of the behaviour at the top of it.
> And as property it belongs to the state, not the citizen.

That's a myth. It is the property of the citizen.

You may be thinking of the passport, though.

> You are required and expected to have it on you at all times.

Again a myth.

You don't even have to own an ID card (if you have a passport).

In any case there is no law or regulation forcing you to carry it. There is no fine for not carrying it.

It's still a good idea to carry it, because a police stop (which I encountered thrice in my life) is much quicker when you can show your ID card, instead of being taken to the police station for identity verification.

> You are also required to report it missing.

I'm not certain about this point, but I doubt that. Still, it's obviously a good idea, in order to nip identity theft and the hassle that comes with it in the bud.
True, but you can turn on "numpad emulation" and then use the normal number keys as substitute. It's a weak substitute though, The whole point of the numpad is that it makes those shortcuts work somewhat as directional keys, which is lost when using the normal number keys.

Additionally I don't think it allows you to substitute a period for the numpad period key which is a rather important button in day-to-day blender usage. Of course you can re-map any key you like, but it'd be nice to have it set up right by default.

EDIT: and of course under a recent blender version (2.5+) there's the search box if you really don't want to use your mouse ;)
Same could be said for Belgium, Germany, France, Russia, ...

There is some interesting meta-gaming you can do because you know that there is exactly one solution.

If you have a block that can be put in 2 situations except that in one case it may collide with the other block you know that the "collision" will happen otherwise there would be two valid solutions. This way you can gain information from a seemingly useless block.
Enjoy your power trip.
Transition periods suck. Like the scientists in the 18th century who had to know Latin, the old standard for science, as well as all the languages fighting to become the new standard until finally settling on English in the 20th C. And the postal agents who need to know French (still the official standard for the post, but deprecated since 1994), English and their local languages.
I can have some weird cases on firefox Linux, where it isn't rendering perfectly. This might be me though, it's generally when I'm developing.

Just sometimes I'll go 'display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;' and the content will end up about 5px above center. I'll be like 'WTF?' for a minute, then run it in chrome with no issue.
Could be both.

>actual evidence contradicts them

Where exactly?
I think so... Could be anything from hidden JS optimizations, SPDY, server-throttling. Last time I looked, my anecdotal and probably biased investigation into it appeared to indicate that the actual requests were slower on Firefox. Nevermind the question of why Gmail needs to make 230+ requests to the server to start up.
Apple Publishes Open-Source Version of HomeKit Accessory Development Kit
The concept of freedom is so interesting. In the US, it is an inherent right. Many things are protected as inalienable rights from government intrusion. But a darker picture emerges when freedom is weaponized by private people (e.g. corporations). Your freedom actually starts turning into a capitalist feeding frenzy. Take it one step further and it is a nightmare (stalkers). Freedom is a careful balance of the two. This trade off is a strange yet inevitable world Americans live in.
I'm amused by the thought that, like the famous legend about the QWERTY keyboard, the mouse is designed to slow us down and distract us from how slow and delicate the computer is. Since 1983, we are still guiding the computer through a series of tiny little steps in order to get anything done, while the real shame is that even after 35+ years, we still can't tell the computer what we want in natural language.

Of course I realize the mouse has its uses.

Since I recently started using Linux for some things, I've noticed a difference in online commentary about how to use it. In Windows, the instructions for installing a software app are many pages of pictures, with circles and arrows, and a paragraph of text for each one. When the OS changes some of its menus, the documentation is obsolete and you have to guess what you're actually supposed to do.

Instructions for Linux are a few lines of text that you copy into your terminal. Now more and more instructions for Windows are going that way: Press Windows-cmd, enter some text, press return, done.
I find this very true for things like movie reviews or product reviews. You likely will be bombarded by a ridiculous amount of similar content for weeks after you no longer have any intention to watch similar content.

A Swastika was used as a "good luck" symbol since ~3000 BC, in both Asia and Northern Europe. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika_(Germanic_Iron_Age))

While i personally don't take offense at seeing a Swastika "out of context", i know many people do. This however is the first I've heard of people taking offense because of a red top hat, but i guess that's what today's society has come down to. It's almost like people are looking for things that offend them.
Or maybe they prefer to pay to not have to spend their time going through the whole pain to find someone, make them interested, etc etc all with the risk of being for nothing. If you have the money, it is a good way to cut on time spent.

Computers are perceptually slower because we've replaced CPU/memory slowness with remote latency. Every click, often every keypress (for autocomplete), sometimes even every mouse hover, generates requests to who knows how many services in how many different places around the world. No wonder it's slow. Speed of light. I see this even using my development tools at work, where actions I didn't really want or ask for are being taken "on my behalf" and slowing me down. I notice because I'm on a VPN from home. The developers don't notice - and don't care - because they're sitting right on a very high-speed network in the office. It's the modern equivalent of developers using much faster machines and much bigger monitors than most users are likely to have. Just as they need to think about users on tiny phone screens and virtual keyboards, developers need to think about users with poor network connectivity (or just low patience for frills and fluff).
Only with poor education or poor quality drugs.
Don't panic. They're sheltered developers in a megacorp, it's most likely it's the first time they've encountered a 4chan psyop (or whatever tf this is), if they'd hear the term "nazbol" they'd probably think it's something about sports. And honestly, consider how that would go if this is a 4chan psyop: next time someone on the team says or does something genuinely horrible and gets fired, they'll have a few hundred cloned accounts calling them hypocritical antisemites.
unless it had a portfolio of some kind(code or design, etc) I would think it's marginal. You could have a contact form for privacy concerns.

Perhaps it's just my eyes getting older, or changes to headlight tech and/or car design is a contributing factor, but modern headlights at night seem more blinding than I ever remember them being in the past.
> If this was true I would offer another theory: an untraceable Flying Spaghetti Monster is responsible for QM. You won’t be able to gather any evidence against it, so you cannot rule it out. This theory would be on par with your many worlds theory. I can also write down physically looking equations which describe its behavior.

Just the opposite: positing a collapse phenomenon which makes no difference to observable reality is on a par with positing an untraceable Flying Spaghetti Monster. Many-worlds is not an extra assumption but the absence of one: it's the assumption that we behave like normal physical objects, and all the normal, experimentally-established phenomena of quantum mechanics (such as superposition) apply to us just as they apply to other matter we experiment on.
There is Delphi and Lazarus as open-source clone of it

Shhh! Ixnay on the Lazarusay. If people find out, I'll lose my magical secret weapon for blasting out little windows gui apps.

Seriously though, if you ever find yourself needing a few buttons on a windows desktop that do simple things, Lazarus is amazing for whipping that up in a few minutes and still looking professional.
It does. My understanding is that THC inhibits REM sleep, and as a result the chemicals that are usually released during the REM phase that cause you to dream do not get released. Once you quit and start having REM sleep again, there's a "backlog" so to speak of the chemicals and more than usual are released, thus causing the extremely vivid dreams.
As an American with a hardcore capitalist entrepreneurial father and now living in Switzerland, I chalk it up to some Americans simply not being able to imagine a society that doesn't enshrine "If I don't exploit, someone else will" race-to-the-bottom mentality, or if they could imagine such a society then they deem it "suboptimal" and therefore "wrong".

Edit to add: there's a generational mindset too. Older generations have the advantage of living longer and seeing massive technological change, and have an entrenched mindset of "if I work like a dog and live like shit now, everything deferred will be incredibly rewarded later". Whereas the "proverbial millennial" has not seen as much change and thinks such a mindset is an unbalanced extreme crock of shit, and therefore makes demands of the now, to live a generally fulfilling life; to which older generations think is ungrateful, soft, and demanding, that "because my life was shit, everyone else's should be too, it's only fair". But they'll still tell you they want to leave the world a better place for their kids, which is doublethink. (I'm speaking in very very broad terms)
React Design Paterns, Part 1 Compound Components
As a guy in the mid twenties League of Legend was a big part of my teenage years. My friends and I played a lot and even watched some matches live. A few classmates were pretty good in the game (around Top 1000ish on the european ladder), but no one of them really tried to play it in a team on a more competetive level.
Back then we had a lot of fun playing smaller Fun-Tournaments in which we participated together with hundreds of other teams, much of them way better then we were at the point.. but we had a lot of fun and we have some great memories.

Now one of my mates switched from LoL to CS:GO and plays on a semi-professional level (national league). We try to watch every game via Twitch.tv together while talking via Teamspeak.
We are not playing that much anymore, but because we grew up with these games and still know the rules watching E-Sports feels natural and we are more connected to it than to regular sport.

Another cool fact is that we all know the game and sometimes come together to play one or two rounds of League of Legends together. It is the game everyone at my age played.
We use Visual Basic 6 for a lot more than we should at work...going back to that from using Python, Ruby, and even PHP was a shok.

I thought porting a Python script to VB wouldn't be a big deal, but like you said, things youtake for granted like JSON and certain dictionaries are just lacking.
This is not specific to UK, I'd hazard that the whole western world is like that.

You litteraly cannot find ANY electronics shop in Paris (there were still a few ones a few years ago), and no one apart from some non-profits initiative is willing to even open a piece of electronics to do some simple repairs that involve soldering (the only repair being done is changing a part on phones/tablets/computers).

It's really depressing, because a lot repairs are really simple (unsolder a capacitor that is visibly broken, solder a new one in, or even replace a fuse in audio equipment) and instead those objects are trashed, contributing to the growing ecological problems.

That state of affair comes from both an economic lens (manpower is too costly compared to buying a new one), and a skill shortage (people watch me like an alien when I do those simple repairs)

there's a very limited amount of people around the world that actually care about this those of us do our best to not allow this to happen but then there is the others, the people that don't read terms, that live for the gram etc these are the main demographic target because they're quite simply dumb. People constantly make jokes at me for wanting to be off the grid for trying to keep a low profile etc for complaining about having to accept cookies for any website you want to use these days. data mining has been big bucks for far too long and will remain that way until the masses join us which I sadly fear they never will along with the fact that these big data companies are all working with bigger government and political groups. its been this way for a long time as others have pointed out and its a sad fact that it will remain this way for the foreseeable future unless people educate themselves on these matters because the companies getting away with it will continue to and not educate the masses as that means a loss of profit.
I use Firefox (desktop) on mine and it works quite well, and has good performance. I wonder if it can be configured to be a bit more mobile-friendly OOTB, maybe with some about:config flags?

I’m borderline thinking the secret agenda behind daytime running lamps is actually not related to daytime at all.

Many (all?) modern cars have an auto mode for night lights but it seems to endlessly baffle people as to how they work. At some point it seems you can throw all the UX you want, some are hell bent to skip on being attentive to basic driving safety anyway.
Oh wow that's some nice feedback! Thanks!

First time I see Lines X, seems nice.

> I would allow a bit more trial and error from the user instead of explanatory text.

The tutorial is something I play-tested a lot but with each iterations I've heard different opinions about it.
I tried to strike a balance between letting the game explain itself and guiding the user trough text, but at the end of today I don't think there's a bullet-proof solution.
One thing that I noticed is that a minimalistic approach like the one you suggested works well for:
a. People who already have ton of experience with puzzle games
b. People who are "really" intentioned to play the game
In every other case, I was asked to add more guidance trough text, animations or more steps.

If it was just for me, I would have definitely used an even more minimalistic approach (which was the first iteration).

Onboarding is way more complex than I expected, and there's a ton to learn on the topic!

Regarding the other suggestions:

1. I haven't thought about that. That's a clever tip!

2. This is something I tried implementing, but it didn't match well the minimalistic look (and the home screen UI) for my tastes... but I can definitely see it being a nice addition. Do you have any suggestion on how/where to "show" it?

3. We think alike, don't we? This is also something I wanted to implemented (e.g.: showing the list of available puzzles that could be picked). If I was the player, I'd "like" something like that.
The thing is, nobody ever asked for it while/after playing. So I never implemented it.
You're the first one to actually give me this feedback.

4. Gotcha. First time I get this feedback, but it does make sense to me.

Thanks again for the great feedback :)
