Most of the bloatware comes from Google itself: on my Samsung Phone I have Google Chrome, multiple Google Play stores, Google Keep, Google Photos (sends your photos to the Google cloud), Google Drive, Google office apps, etc.

I've never wanted all those apps, I don't even have a Google account...
Just cut them out with adblock and you'll be fine.
Why should Google be able to dictate what third party manufacturers can’t put on their phones? How would that be different than Microsoft telling manufacturers back in the day not to include Netscape?

Hope USA wake up that helping Soviet Union and nazi Germany to do research is not good for mankind. As regards the totalitarian nazi china, it is not fine. They are stupid to have 1000 but they will learn. Will America?
The kicker is that grazing animals could do it but aren't done that way very often in practice. Not without environmental costs of course.
That isn't the point at all. The standup isn't to make her a better developer, it is to make the team work more effectively. What happens when someone is taking a long time to do something that she knows a shortcut for but they won't know because "she doesn't need to come".

It's a sad culture when a developer thinks they don't need the team or when, for some reason, they don't have to come to standups.
The color mentioned, Prussian blue, has a particular history with regards to Japanese art. Remember that at the time, imports were banned in Japan and thus to even own the color was something of a rarity. Based on the contemporary situation and his own history and interest in Western culture and art, it's pretty likely that Hokusai chose the color deliberately, and not simply that he liked blue "because he wanted it for the waves." Remember that he was nearly 70 years old when he started working on Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Typically artists at that level of experience don't choose to use rare new materials just for kicks.

Hokusai was one of the first Japanese printmakers to boldly embrace the colour, a decision that would have major implications in the world of art. Using it extensively in his series Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji (1830), of which the Great Wave was the first, the pigment especially lent itself to expressing both depth in water and distance, crucial atmospheric qualities to render land and seascapes.

Hokusai drew influence from a particular “Rangakusha” (scholar of Dutch texts) painter named Shiba Kokan, who experimented with European principles of composition. In The Great Wave, Hokusai abandoned traditional Japanese isometric view, where motifs were scaled according to importance, and instead adopted the dynamic style of Western perspective featuring intersecting lines of sight.

In short: the work itself incorporates deep influences from European art. Ergo, it's pretty standard art criticism to assume that the choice of materials and colors were also chosen deliberately.

i used to run a tor node but then my bank blocked me because i was a tor node, even though i wasn't an exit node. that alone was too much of a hassle so i stopped doing it. i also work from home now and vpn to work at a really big company that it wouldn't surprise me if they would notice i ran a tor node with whatever edge security they have. so there are very valid reasons to not even run a tor node from home.
Don't lemmings turn round when they hit a wall?
Sounds like we don't want to sell our education or knowledge to 'specific' groups we don't like at the moment, this list will be a ever evolving and changing landscape i'm sure:

"The success of the program in recruiting U.S.-trained scientists back to China has been viewed with concern from the U.S., with a June 2018 report from the National Intelligence Council declaring an underlying motivation of the program to be “to facilitate the legal and illicit transfer of US technology, intellectual property and know-how” to China."

I'm surprised this hasn't been done before! The trouble it would have saved me throughout life when stranded somewhere without my own charger, but unable to use another's. Someone mentioned laptop connectors, too. That would also be great, but since I usually travel with intention with my laptop while I passively have my phone on me all the time, the need isn't exactly on the same level.
I hope this works.

On Samsung devices, we have to use hacks like using Package Disabler Pro to disable stuff:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinder.pks...

My phone is considerably faster and and battery life is much better after using this. No to mention this probably also closes some provacy holes.

Motorola, on the other hand, does a great job by using mostly vanilla Android with just a few really useful modifications.
My pixel 3 (direct from google) has numerous uninstallable apps that I don't want.
OH good and mandate separate mic and audio out as well :-)
The problem I have with the Slack model is that it becomes opt-in. Lots of Devs simply won't read the channels because they won't care what other people were doing even if that knowledge helps people to skill-share, coach, encourage or take part of the work off of someone else.
It certainly is a conflict of interest to provide education,scholarships,grants,food,and housing from the same budget that pays for stadiums,fields,coaches,and teams. Separate sports and education like church and st(the idealized version not the reality where governments are still deeply infected by church's).
Is it even possible to use Android without a Google account?
TL;DR: Pacman did a

snprintf(command, PATH_MAX, "xdelta3 -d -q -s %s %s %s", from, delta, to);
system(command);

And to fix it, they removed the delta update feature.

* * *

They removed a feature that could work well over something someone did incorrectly. You don't even need to go full-on execvp and dup2 to fix this problem:

* it is super easy to escape a string for POSIX shell: wrap the thing in single-quotes, replace the single-quotes in-between with '\''

* it is not hard to verify that snprintf has enough space: just assert(snprintf(bleh, size, ...) < size).
I find it fascinating how civil servant jobs don't pay well, yet the workers work for the government (and therefore, the people). David Graeber in Bullshit Jobs touches on this subject. And then just today there was this story about Kevin Rosenberg [1] who, after failing to pay off his debts by working hard, sued successfully to have his student loans discharged via bankruptcy. Yet he served 5 years in the military, and studied to become a lawyer (which he ultimately did not pursue a career in because of the conundrum between helping people versus getting paid well). Is he a loser? The word loser is a simple ad hominem, a DH1 based on PG's own essay about How To Disagree [2].

Shifting costs from marginal to fixed works at scale. Though I’m not sure aerospace has this scale (today).
I think it's way easier to keep in the flow than to start things and this delays my sleep rythm too if I'm not forced to get up in the morning. (I'm still a late person and will max out flex time at work to only get in at 10am or something)

30min downtime after work however is nothing, that's not warmup, that is well deserved rest and while meditating sounds super healthy and mahjong doesn't I'd argue it's quite similar. I think your brain needs this, especially if you do mental work during the day. But even on a free schedule I'd say off-time keeps me sharp.

If you took hours on a saturday I'd recommend habits: read hn (or what ever you choose, just not all of it) in bed so you than have a clear cut by getting up. Than have some pleasure along with starting your todo: good coffe and a nice sandwich or something.

Another trick is keeping your todos tiny: find a tiny thing you can do right now without it feeling a burden and don't feel pressured to do more. Once doing it it's often easy to continue by free will or at least have the task working in your brain in the background to get you back to it later.
So set the UI language to watch she wants it to be? This is what profiles are for.
I was getting $3-5k bills from Azure and AWS several times without being viral just because I enabled some wrong features. Luckily they refunded them. I don't want that crap anymore. We also tried to run on AWS EC2 for a while and it was costing us 10 times more than a dedicated server that we got later on. Ridiculous. Now I have a backup server on Azure just because they give me $50 credits and it's a basic VM with a 1Tb slow disk attracted and they manage to charge me $70 for this, when I can buy a box at https://www.kimsufi.com/en/servers.xml for 5-7 EUR. I think cloud is for idiots

Right... when statistically speaking 1 in 3 women in the EU experienced various forms of physical violence by a partner or by other persons (with France having some of the highest rates in Europe) [0] I'm sure all men are really appalled at the repressive aspects of the burka.

In reality very few people ever consider this aspect of the clothing. The bans mostly prohibit covering the face and do nothing to remove the repressive aspect.

All most people see is a fully covered face and that makes them feel uneasy and make Islamophobic associations with religion or terrorism, as highlighted by most surveys [1][2][3][4][5]. None of the surveys suggests an interest in the repressive aspect. In the same survey where over 80% of Germans wanted to have the burka banned, 25% "said the most pressing topic was domestic security and the fight against terrorism, just 12 percent view migrant integration as a priority".

People just want to see the face to feel lees uneasy, or simply to remove "foreign, invading" symbols. The laws were put in place to appease said social unrest and a good hint of that is that they are usually proposed and very strongly supported by populist and right-wing parties who surely only look after the well being of women.

The conviction you put in your statement is not supported by reality. And I'm not talking about official justification that has to look good in the media but the real situation on the ground.

>If you go down this “you should never lie” you are effectively choosing to do the harm because you prioritise honesty.

The framing of morality as between prioritizing certain morals over others is only a particular way of viewing it - the consequentialist way. For deontological metaethics, you have something like a categorical imperative.
Can you give a little more context about why it would become exhausting for remote workers? I'd seen terrible stand ups and good ones, but the location of those taking part has rarely been a deciding factor.
It wasn’t free. It was 10% off another product while we still had most of our return time available. A customer should not have to return your product to receive a discount a week after. It’s a massive inconvenience on both sides that could be avoided just by honoring the discount.
I really don't think you can uninstall play services from any phone. They have become slightly better by not installing apps like google+, but that's because they have killed those apps off themselves.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check them out!

Not the OP, but he/she was probably suggesting that acquiring "quaint skills" is not the best use of her/his time for a person curious enough about acquiring "quaint skills", it's like warning someone "don't go down that dark alley, it's not worth it".
You have Android One today.
It's seems like out of smart cities concept only smart grids really happened. Autonomous vehicles are still a long way off.
Just out of interest, knowing these people personally: what are the kinds of tradeoffs involved in these jobs that pay so extraordinarily well so early in one's career?

Is it a case of spending your 20s 8am-10pm in the office, no weekends, no vacation, etc?

Or, if not, then what's the path into a job like this? Are they simply 0.00001% level brilliant people, lucky, well connected?
Microsoft are pushing the concept of citizen developer like crazy with their Dynamics 365 platform and things like Flow, Logic Apps and PowerApps.

I use a desktop nowadays. So no input whatsoever, unless I explicitly buy it and plug it.
You don't need any fancy rebinding attacks. That's a bit 2001 era web hacking :)

This issue is based on WebSockets where the software on the modem:

a) Doesn't verify any of the origin headers sent, so any origin works (rebinding is designed to beat origin checks)

b) Copies an uploaded message straight onto the stack without doing any size checks
An observation: in netflix, when you choose a foreign lang for the audio track as well as subtitles... they don't match.

By this I mean, let's saying you're watching Orange is the New black... and choose French audio and French subtitles. You would expect the subtitles to be correspond with what you're hearing.... they don't!! Kind of absurd and annoying. This is true across all shows it turns out.
Sibling comments mention hacked web pages and DNS rebinding. I imagine there are also many of these routers that still have unpatched issues with SNMP, like "stringbleed". https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/several-cable...
My XPS 13 can suck 130W through its USB-C connector. For example with the TB-16 dock.
The non tech part of me just wants the option to uninstall Chrome in order to remove it from the huge list of apps, updates, etc. Without having to configure a custom launcher.
You basically don't login to your Gmail. There's tricks to not do it during setup such as hitting the home key.
They at least push not only for mobiles:
> A common charger should fit all mobile phones, tablets, e-book readers and other portable devices, MEPs will insist.

I'm really happy to see e-book readers, I hate that I need to have micro-usb just for my kindle (my phone and laptop use USB-C).
Most European countries have been the US's strategic allies since at least WW2. China, meanwhile, is a strategic competitor to the United States. Why on earth would knowledge being shared with Europe have the same scrutiny applied?
I also think it depends on the environment. I can imagine ancient humans persistence hunting across the plains of Africa. I have a harder time picturing it in rain forests or the forests that used to cover most of Europe.
I think it's high time for an FPGA-based, open hardware, open software, auditable-by-everyone, cable modem project...

Even if it isn't immediately DOCSIS compatible...

Heck, just get a single packet of data over a cable from point A to point B using an open FPGA-based design... Put that on the Internet... that's the starting point...

Let it evolve from there...
WeWork debacle has unicorn investors seeking cover
What's worse is I have an Android phone still that has Google+ and guess what, it's not going anywhere.
The no-code solution would probably come from machine learning, and not from automating logic-based programming.
I think the realization that research is better of without boundaries can be effectuated a whole lot earlier than removing all of the silly lines on the map. In fact it may well be a long time before removing the silly lines on the map is even a good idea.
IMHO everything that can be safely and reliably powered via a USB cable (of whatever a relevant standard connector type) should be powered that way nowadays (with exception of PoE and other cases where a non-USB power supply actually adds significant value for the consumer).

An unpleasant surprise I have recently experienced was a Nintendo Switch refusing to connect to an HDMI TV without being attached to a Nintendo brand charger. I can hardly believe rendering to HDMI increases power consumption so much that this is necessary and there are no standard-conformant 3-rd party chargers which can handle that. IMHO such practices should be outlawed.

I’ll speculate as well. The op is saying that the banks want quant skills but don’t have them. Therefore you need to acquire them somewhere else since the banks are lacking these skills.

Finest Way to Gain Muscle–Ways to Prevent over Training
I wasn't suggesting that either VW's, GM's, or Boeing's CEOs actually go to prison for "killing" anyone but rather for "knowingly allowing such issues to directly kill". And as the GM example stands to show, it's not particularly hard to get away with this in the US if you are the CEO of a powerful company.

eDP is quite common these days especially in laptops with elaborate hinges that have 4K screen options.

LVDS requires 40 differential signaling pairs for displaying 4K resolution, eDP requires only 4 and even that can be reduces to 2 if DSC is used or your display adapter and panel support HBR3.

However for LVDS and eDP the physical connectors can be drastically different but in all honesty this has very much to do with the physical design of the laptop rather than some anti consumer conspiracy.

Depending on the hinge mechanism, the wiring length as well as other factors such as does the same cable need also to support power, USB (camera) and audio (microphone) connectivity you get different designs.
The Tragedy of the Climate Dildos
I've read several of Sabine's blogs over several months. I think she has very good ends in mind, has courage to push back on corporate/academic inertia ... such inertia comes with any human organization ... On the negative side she's big on complaining but small on alternatives. She's also a bit too blunt/dismissive of people -- this from a person who also dislikes corporate happy talk. As such it's not clear if she'd confer distinction if she had a large budget, an institution, and group of experimentalists. An Oppenheimer? No.

For-profit film school turned their Hollywood dreams into student debt nightmare
I chase storms in my free time, and there are still a lot of areas in the US where Internet connectivity is poor or non-existent. I had an idea for an e-ink powered device that pulled down satellite images like this, but I never got very far with it.

Satellite data tells you pretty much everything you would need to forecast at a basic level, especially with the derived soundings.
However, that final YAML-defined state is not guaranteed to define the entire functionality of the system. The typical counterexample is this: removing a 'create file' clause does not cause that file to be removed on subsequent runs, as the tool has no concept of ownership nor diffing against previous states. The emitted YAML does not represent the indended full state of the machine, just what actions to take to bring it from some unspecified historical state to an underspecified target state. There is no guarantee of consistency.

Thus, it is very easy to get in a situation where an Ansible playbook applied against two machines with slightly different production history will result in very different behaviour.

If you want real declarative configuration management, try Nix/NixOS.

Just a small nit pick here--your example does not match the definition of deliberate practice.

>Science being funded across borders isn’t a bad thing

Collaboration is the key word here.

This isn't science being funded across borders, this is research being stolen, such that the work is quickly finished off in China and published before the researchers in the US do, the thief and China getting all the credit to themselves and a bunch of knowledge at no cost.

The difference with the EU is that it is mutual, consensual collaboration with both sides putting in work and funding.
