This is what compelled me to sell my Blackberry Passport, a lovely device with a good keyboard and a great OS (based on QNX).

I didn't care that it no longer had a FB or Twitter client, or that I couldn't access other soc.nets.

But for a comms-centric device with a wonderful unified inbox, the fact that it no longer worked with WhatsApp, FB Messenger and so on was a killer. A phone that can't talk to them is not really a phone any more in C21.
Yup, if you like scifi/fantasy movies consider that there are at most 2 or 3 that raise to the level of a mediocre sci fi book, and even those are book adaptations.

Here is the bug that I'm referring to: I think the link you posted to is the same bug but doesn't mention the additional issue. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198181

According to that bug report it says the issue was fixed in Safari 13 and also iOS 13 like you said, but caniuse says there is still an issue.. I'm on 12 right now and can't update to check atm.

SAR processing algorithms are available in open world academic literature (papers and books). Though I don’t know the specifics of the system in the article to know whether that specific algorithm is subject to any sort of export restrictions.

Most implementations I’ve come across are variations of the standard textbook approaches, with modifications made for computational efficiency or a little company-specific secret sauce (think proprietary techniques) thrown in.

If you’re looking for some search terms, you might try: “polar format”, “range migration”, or “tomographic backprojection”. The first two are Fourier-transform based approaches that are relatively computationally efficient. The last, in its textbook form is O(n^3) — less efficient.
If you’re really committed to abbreviating it, go with 3 characters instead—“020”. Bam! Problem solved. If someone tries to stick digits on the end they’ll get an octal number unexpectedly!
Yes, you wouldn't use this strategy on a battery powered device. It ia for very specialised applications.
Yes, books are worth it, physical books especially.
1. The automated information control that occurs online today, means that things are there one day, gone the next. This happens accross the information continuum.
2. The Pareto principle: 20% of things provide 80% of the value. Online, where new content can be created for nearly free, good information about anything can be hard to find, drowned in a sea of advertisement and distraction. In a physical bookstore or library, the cost of printing and stocking means that only things that are worth printing, are kept around.
3. Inheritance of relevancy: I enjoy getting my books from the used bookstores, because time after time I pick up some volume on history that someone has written incredible things in the margins! Of course, we have comment sections and such online, but the Pareto principle applies again here.
4. Impression and discernment of value: You can tell just from looking at the design of a book, what the intended audience is. If the authors name is bigger than the title, for example, that tells you a whole lot. If like me, you look for more uncommon, less known things, you learn to disregard anything with flashy marketing or a bestseller claim. Head straight for the plain and boring: the value is what gets it sold, whats written inside.
5. Obscure, out-of-print, actually supressed and allegedly supressed works. This goes hand in hand with number 1: Its much harder to round up 10,000 copies of a book, than to add the metadata to an automatic blacklist. Everything from textbooks, to historical autobiographies, to contemporary primary source reporting: the beast devours it all. Put it on your shelf, then it cannot be deleted.

I've been reading a lot ever since I learned how to do it. While I do read a lot of stuff online,most of the stuff out there is just low quality crap. Yes, there's some brilliant stuff too,but it's probably 0.001% of the overall. For instance,I recently started reading a pretty heavy book( 800+ pages). It is well written, factually correct, the author doesn't assume I'll just google some other 20 tutorials to make his work and the depth of knowledge is outstanding. No blog would ever match it. Yes,I can get all the info that is in the book on the internet,the time commitment just googling, verifying and understanding would exceed the time itdi take to read 5 books of similar size.
I don't necessarily disagree, but you're glossing over the trade offs in making those decisions. Windows is a poorly behaved proprietary operating system from an extremely poorly behaved company with a long history of doing questionable things. OTA TV has ads and I presume lower quality. Checks, as we are discussing, have what appears to be some long-standing security problems. By all means is the best tool for the job, but don't mistake "works (ignoring costs aid side effects)" for "best", and please don't assume that just because people are very picky about what they use means that they're not doing so for legitimate reasons.

The Greek word for "shape" has had a longer history than computer science. I'll grant you the use in mathematics, since it's difficult to talk about geometry without talking about shape, so it's highly likely that even people like Thales were using it back in the day.

This is the same thing as people insisting that "theory" as used in science has somehow been co-opted and misused by laypeople. The fact of the matter is that a word that has had a common meaning for a very long time has been narrowed and specialized in a specific field of endeavour, and that narrowed meaning doesn't somehow invalidate the older meaning outside of the field.
A related question is whether you should read “electronic books” (e.g. E-readers) vs. physical books. I’m part of the bridge generation that grew up with only physical books but then everything went digital, and I find that so far, I can’t replace the act of physically reading a book with the digital equivalent, it just doesn’t feel the same.

Are there people here who only use e-readers and prefer that for functional reasons, above and beyond the efficiency aspect of less trees, less weight, etc.?

And are there any suggestions of decent e-readers that aren’t made by Amazon?
Ya’ll should consider using atomic increment on separate cache lines instead of spinlocks. If you want to minimize latency to the bare minimum, atomic increment gives you two orders of magnitude measurable improvements over locks. https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/files/Disruptor-1....
The "argument from waste," as economists call it, makes sense from a business and investment standpoint, but I'm a staunch believer that in every-day decision making (barring Vegas trips) it isn't usually a fallacy[1]. The paper cited is abstract (and borrows from Nozick, who also wrote a criticism of the sunken cost fallacy in the early 90s). But the conclusion is:

> Sometimes it is reasonable to honor sunk costs. Why? It’s reasonable to want to maintain plausible deniability about having suffered diachronic misfortune. Sometimes, honoring sunk costs is the only way to do this. It’s reasonable to want to maintain plausible deniability because having this desire is instrumental in successful cooperation, and successful cooperation is essential to our success as social creatures.

In Seth's concert example, this is particularly relevant: your spouse might be a huge Springsteen fan, for instance. She might have dressed up, and made a whole night of the event. Your friends might have also bought tickets and they are waiting for you. These are all technically "sunken costs" -- but not honoring them might hinder current (or future) cooperation.

A lot of people have already told you that reading slowly just means you don't have enough practice.

Also consider this: you watch a video or listen to a podcast on some subject. If the speaker is a good actor, you are more likely to believe them even if everything they say is bullshit.

Reading (well, after you actually get used to reading) is less of an assault on your sensory inputs so you're more likely to be able to form your own opinion about the subject.

Edit: also try reading fiction as entertainment. A lot of it is much better than the current Hollywood drivel.

The problem with SSNs is how short they are. 9 digits.

Even if you hash them, it's not that hard to make a 10^10 - 1 rainbow table.

It's the same problem with IPs (v4). You simply cannot store them at all if you care about your customers' privacy.
What I've heard is that Unicomp owns the actual original molds and such, and keeps using them, even though they're deteriorating. So I guess it makes sense that older Unicomp hardware is better. (I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it's what I've heard.)

Definitely. Few years ago I subscribed to this service called "Blinkist" which summarizes whole books into several pages.

But soon enough I understood it's pointless. I got superficial understanding of the books from the summary, but I forgot it just as quickly. If you want to extract value from a book, you must give it time, you must think about it, go deep, try different associations etc.
Did it ever? And if so for what value of 'work'?
> The fact that "serverless" is indeed a buzzword is indisputable.

It can be used as a buzzword, but it isn’t always. The same goes for “the cloud.” It’s used in marketing because it sounds cool and people think they need it, but at the same time it can be perfectly clear to use the term in technical contexts.

> For example, "serverless" is used by some people to refer to a more concrete and specific and well established concept of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS). Yet, albeit FaaS is portraied as a subset of "serverless" concept, FaaS does not represent the concept, which is assumed to be more broadly defined.

What’s vague about this? FaaS is a serverless product, but not all serverless products are FaaS.
Nope, it is moral to be ethical. We have Laws and Justice system to enforce ethic.
Safari does that but can also show your (locally stored) bookmarks/favorites, which is a handy addition

Way too many generalizations on the medium, socioeconomic attainment, quality, etc.

Yes, many books have high-quality information that is not digitized and not accessible without reading them. This is true for older books and newer books.

It is more true in fields like finance, tax, legal and hyper local historical accounts.

It is also true in the software field as well. For example, a programming book by one author can still expose you to elegant efficient techniques that would never be found on someone's blog or on sites like stackoverflow where the community consensus masquerades as better.

In finance and economics there are financial products and circumstances in older books that you might not have heard of, which can become advantageous in upcoming "new" market condition that now only you recognize.

In tax, you no longer have to be one of the citizens angry that wealthy people have accountants to perceive obscure advantages, because you can already perceive them.

Sometimes the exposure to concepts in books can make your internet searches more specific so that you find where these daily conversations occur, or new communities where people take the knowledge to new modern levels. Compared to being in the same communities you are now and assuming you aren't missing anything.
Scaling SHRDLU in a similar manner would also rock, though.
What landlords and tenants need to know about California’s new rent-control law
The few self help and TED-style books I read (or started to read) were utter shite and might as well be summarised in a tweet.

The moment I really enjoyed reading was when I dropped the idea of absorbing as much information as possible. Being comfortable with reading something that does not immediately return some value.

What reading can uniquely offer is a conversation with a very clever mind who might be dead for a hundred years. You can stop, pause think. Reread that section. Put it in current context and see what you make of it. Take a break, walk around, watch the birds and come back.

You might even find that a 10 verse poem about a blue butterfly carries more weight than any recent self-help book.
Well, I'd like to apologize in this case. Provided you don't sell the collected email addresses ;-)
IMO, mostly chain mail.

1. Most contracts don't exist in isolation. They'll be associated with some sort of supporting event. Emails, text messages, etc.

2. Similarly, when a contract actually matters (under legal evaluation), it isn't evaluated in isolation. That includes establishing the validity of the contract. If the parties disagree on the date, that should raise red flags.

3. You should retain a copy of the contract no matter what.

4. Last, but not least. Anything of importance should (1) using the full date - perhaps even spelling out the month to avoid format differences (2) consider involving a 3rd party witness like a notary.
While I am aware that he was born in the US (Hawaii), i can see where the confusion might come from (aside from willful ignorance and hatred for him as a person), considering that he was the first president born outside of the continental US (Hawaii; and we all know how many continental americans still don’t realize that Puerto Rico is a US territory) and lived in Indonesia between ages 6 and 20.
Well, no I’m not “patently wrong”. Aurora Serverless has limitations and features that are not available with Aurora. This includes lacking the ability to load and unload from S3 and it has the “Data API” which lets you use APIs to interact with the database instead of your typical database connections. This feature is not available with regular Aurora. It was implemented specifically for Serverless workloads so your lambda doesn’t have to “run inside your VPC” since that increases the cold start times.

We specifically could not use Aurora Serverless for our ETL jobs because of the lack of integration with S3

Again there is a difference between reading documentation and actually using it.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide...

I’m also not confounding “Autoscaling” and services. Being able to scale on demand and “scale down to zero” is one of the parts of how Serverless is defined.
but we rely on a fat layer of neuronal microcode
It was not snark. The article says they are banning hardware and software.
Yep, that's the issue. I think I see the confusion now (I stand by my original comment).

SameSite=Lax was never an invalid value, so it was never mishandled by browsers (very old browsers gracefully degrade to treating it like None, which is as good as possible). In the original spec there was Lax, Strict, and unspecified (i.e. the Set-Cookie header didn't have a SameSite attribute, the default behaviour) but, critically, no None.

Browsers developed around that time that treated unexpected values as equivalent to unspecified/what we now call None (e.g. Firefox) turned out to have picked a more forwards-compatible approach. Browsers like Safari and Chrome took stricter action for unexpected values (the idea here is a vague "secure by default" feeling) but it's awkward now that the default is changing from what is (now) called None, to Lax.

In that issue, consider the title "Cookies with SameSite=None or SameSite=invalid treated as Strict" redundant: None was an invalid value according to Safari at that time, which wasn't wrong.

SameSite=Lax is 100% safe to set (assuming your site is ready for that). You only need to browser sniff if you're considering setting SameSite=None.

And chip-and-pin and likely also credit cards but they tend to not advertise that fact because they hate the fees and the slow settlement. That's why in France every cab driver ever has a sign on their back seats stating that 'unfortunately, their credit card processing machine just broke down' (by law they have to accept them but if the machine broke down on that day they get dispensation for that day so this loophole is immediately abused, if this happens to you simply stick to your guns and sooner or later it will turn out that the machine works just fine).

I spend a ton of time in hotels in France (and elsewhere in Europe) and have yet to see one that did not have a wide selection of payment options.

This page:

https://about-france.com/banks-payment.htm

has this passage on it:

" France is a country in which the use of cheques is also widespread. However French traders, shops, hotels etc. will not usually accept payment by cheque unless the cheque is on a French bank; some places accept cheques in Euros on banks in other Eurozone counries, but most do not, given the increased risk and the possibility of bank charges. It is generally impossible to pay for anything using a cheque on a bank situated outside the Eurozone."

Even that seems a bit archaic to me because I haven't seen checks (or rather: cheques) in France in a decade or more but American Express travelers checks may be the exception, but this post from 2014 basically says not to bother:

https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/france/don-t-b...

"

Brought Amex travellers cheques in Euros on our trip to France only to discover NO ONE, not even banks take or cash them. Have tried paying with them in hotels, restaurants, and stores-no takers. Exchange bureaus (even Ria which is recommended on American Express website in Lyon) would not cash them. Spent a good couple hours wandering and visiting the following to no avail: La Poste (used to cash, but not any more), BNP Paribas, LCL, Societe Generale, Credit Agricole, Bank Populaire, CE.

Take note: don't bother with travellers cheques-will never use again. BRING a debit card, credit card with chip/pin technology, and some cash."

Which pretty much mirrors my own experience.

Do you really think that creepy Google will just say no to the free data? Why would they even give out GA for free to begin with then?

It's like trusting an alcoholic with guarding a warehouse full of bottles at night. Actually it's worse, because at least with the bottles you can count them all given enough time, where as creepy G can use the data in a plausibly-deniable way you wouldn't be able to confirm for sure without looking at their code.

>Honestly, you're lucky if the only personal problems you have can be solved by philosophy, literature, history and science.

most problems in your life can't be solved by reading a book, period. Self-help or otherwise. The first lie of self-help books is that they're actually 'helping' you in any meaningful sense of the word.

Digging yourself out of bad situations takes time and there is very little magic involved, and sometimes it's not possible at all. What philosophy or literature or history or science can however provide for anyone, is to understand the world a little bit better, which even if it doesn't solve your personal problems still gives you some perspective and solace.

If you're reading philosophy or literature, or just pulpy fiction at least you're reading for reading itself instead of just buying into some racket of "i'll spend ten minutes of reading self-help books and then I'll have 20% more energy and make a thousand dollars!"

And not to doubt your personal story but actual clinical depression is typically not solved by one off hypnotherapy sessions with self-help gurus.
As long as free speech is considered important, ads aren't going anywhere (note: I consider free speech important).

Even if you ban directives from ads (Buy Product Now!) ads can be reduced to simple voicing of opinions on a media channel ("I love product X, you'd love it too, I'm sure!"), which is what most ads are anyways - emotional persuasion, not the old style "Johnny's Canned Beans are the most nutritious!" from the early days of TV.

And if you're talking about banning all paid endorsements, I guarantee there will be 10,000 loopholes that look like Citizens United/SuperPAC behavior, where a person performs the advertising speech in public for free, and then is later given gifts and trips and other things for "unrelated reasons" from an "industry interest group."

In short, we need to incorporate critical thinking/mental and emotional resilience/manipulation resistance into the educational system, which I'm pretty sure will never ever happen since the Powers That Be are all there precisely because, as you said, they all use the media channels of the day to manipulate.
I’m sure that’s what they also thought in 1981 when storing only 2 digits of the year and we all know how that turned out.
