The most un-understandable thing is that none of this export wealth reaches an individual, especially a guest worker, a foreigner. It's quite shocking to discover by a foreigner specialist lured to the country by the multitude of positive economic news. Cost-cutting and exorbitant charges and contributions everywhere. The entire export wealth is captured by the oligarch families and the highest level executive caste.
...wow, am I the only one who just exports Firefox's bookmarks into a JSON file (Backup bookmarks) and uses that to sync accross his devices?

I'm often on trips for a few days to a couple of weeks, and I only need to shift back and forth between my laptop and desktop.

If I find something interesting on the phone, I just look it up later on a computer to save the bookmark.
Fascinating read. It shows how effective the biblical rebrand of wolves was that I didn't know wolves rarely ever kill people. I presumed they'd be really dangerous for people.
Perhaps a bigger distortion was everyone else deciding to become "value-add" over outsourced production. Only so much room for beancounters.
I think that’s ok. It takes a while to figure out where a language is ok and where it’s maybe not ok. Also by doing stuff it may not be perfectly suited for right now there is an incentive for improving things.
I really love Instapaper. I have the chrome extension installed so whenever I'm on a site I want to bookmark I just do cmd-shift-s. Instapaper bookmarks it and saves/indexes the full text. When I want to look for it later I can search pretty easily. I don't use it much for offline reading, more as a simple way to search through everything I've read or want to read so I can quickly find a link again in the future.
Another case of a headline not being supported by the story:

“ Reuters could not determine why exactly Apple dropped the plan.

“Legal killed it, for reasons you can imagine,” another former Apple employee said he was told, without any specific mention of why the plan was dropped or if the FBI was a factor in the decision.”

And further on:
“ However, a former Apple employee said it was possible the encryption project was dropped for other reasons, such as concern that more customers would find themselves locked out of their data more often.”

So 4 of the 6 sources were speculating (FBI), and one actively admits they don’t know the reason, but the lede says 6 sources confirmed this. Hmmm...
Perhaps it's worth quoting Larry Page and Sergey Brin, in the original paper on the Google search engine:

At the time they thought this was a bad thing...
Isn't it always like this. Things written tend to make sense until they contradict your prior knowledge.
> How can we really vote in a way that will make a difference?

We (that is, tech users) have a choice, if we choose it. The ones who don't are the people who can't take that option (ie, your mother). You've stated as much.

What is your choice today, as someone technically inclined?

Well - you mentioned modded Android; but there are several other options, if you don't mind fiddling with things.

More than a few phone operating systems are out there, many open source.

For hardware, probably among the best right now is the Pine64 phone (it's currently in a strange "high-beta" state - you can order one, and it will supposedly be close to what will eventually be sold, but it isn't completely considered a "commercial product").

Alternatively, you could build a phone using a Raspberry Pi (or a similar board, like a Beaglebone or something), or an Arduino (you'll be very limited in what you can do using a standard Arduino - basically make/take calls, store some contacts, maybe SMS).

Note that most phone modules out there are 2/3G - but you can find 4G/LTE modules, fairly cheap if you know what you're looking for.

Your "phone" won't look pretty, but you probably know that. It will likely be fragile at times, and the software quality will depend on what you can find and what you can code yourself. Cloud storage, games, etc - will all be mostly up to you to implement in some manner.

A lot of work, certainly - but that's the only real option, as you can never be absolutely certain, if you're not in control of at least the OS and software.

But for everyone else? Yeah - they don't have any choice, unless they are willing to step up their knowledge (and most aren't, nor should they have to).
Your cost basis is in notional USD as a US taxpayer. It’s not different than if you bartered for sacks of wheat and priced everything in sacks of wheat. (Actually, it’s probably more clear what the BTC/USD cross is than what the SoW/USD cross is.) If you took the midpoint of any spread, you’d almost surely be safe. You could also probably argue to use a different point in the spread as long as you do it consistently.
I have two Winix HR1000. They have extremely powerful blowers and are quiet when not in "turbo" mode. The turbo mode is actually pretty good for white noise when sleeping. I've been running them 24/7 for years now and they are still working great.

I know it's far-fetched, but what I was thinking about is if the F-35 is operating in CAS mode or otherwise flies through the area drones are in, then as long as the fighter is flying towards the drones, they may have a shot at placing themselves in front of the fighter, hoping the pilot will be distracted enough to ram them.
> everyone is programmed to believe their 80% remaining is their 0% remaining

Of course. When I do my reps in the gym, I know I could do more if someone put a gun to my head. I stop because I don't want to hurt myself, not because I cannot do anymore. When I feel sleepy in the evening, I am fully aware that I could go 48 more hours without sleep if I really needed to. But would it be a good idea? No, it would not be.

And even if we ignore obvious health risk of pushing yourself to the limit, in general, I would rather be more comfortable than more productive. There are always things to be done, so why stress about doing a little bit more?
> ads in the OS,

Yeah, I can't wrap my head around why they would do that.

Is it really a big enough revenue stream to inconvenience the consumer to such a degree ?

______

Maybe it is because the type of user that uses wordpad is also not concerned with advertisements or user experiences.

I mean, for most people a computer is either a Netflix + Internet + Office machine (they live in these apps, so the rest of the OS doesn't really affect them) or a device which runs significantly worse OEM software,(in which case, good UX was a lost cause anyways.)

> Stop shifting the blame onto regular people,

I'm not, probably the opposite. I'm stating that if you choose to fly a ~5hr flight, you're contributing 11% more carbon than the average person does all year. In other words, by reducing the demand for flying you can have a greater impact on reducing emissions than the average person could.
The cookie law is so incredibly stupid and ineffective, my best explanation for it is that it was made by people who didn't actually want more privacy for users, and the ones who did, voted for it because they didn't understand how useless it was.
The biggest trap is new and shiny. Let me explain, they decided in the company to do a complet rewrite while we only needed a few apis connecting to the existing software. Its a group of 8 people. The current software is written in PhP, jQuery, Mysql and some use of Yii. Blazing fast, customers are happy. New guys come and of course we need a rewrite. Everything has to be microservices. Now they have to work in Kubernets, Docker, React, Node, elastic search, MongoDb.
With each of these is nothing wrong, but its a lot of new technology to pickup with 8 people. Now the clients hear when they want a change or modification, no just wait till we have platform 2.0. Long story short, development has gone downhill, customers unhappy and after 6 months they are already 12 months behind schedule. This company will byte the dust within a year.
Search amazon for “1tb flash drive”. Once you get past the ads/sponsors/Amazons Choice you’ll see a $300 1tb flash drive as the first option, and the second is [1] $20, and they advertise that it even comes with free gifts! Now read the reviews. Even though it has a 3 star rating, nearly every review says it’s (at best) 16gb, and at worst failed after the first use.

And this is the second most recommended product on Amazon for that search.

Stupid question - but I can't tell if this can be used by multiple people as part of a company KB. For me (and for many) sharing knowledge within a company is a bigger win than my personal KB (which I happen to use workflowy for). The perk of this it seems to support images & videos which workflowy does not.
The harder I try to trick myself, regardless of the technique, the harder my inner miscreant screams to procrastinate. It's like a resistance to being told what to do, even by myself.

Honestly the most reliable solution I've found is amphetamines. Less than ideal advice to depend on substances, but a therapeutic dose of Adderall can be the difference between surfing the internet and half-assing all day until finally starting work in earnest 5-7 hours later, if at all, and starting work within an hour of dosing. Coffee comes in a distant second.

Of course coming up against a tight deadline does wonders for motivation too...but in my experience if I set an arbitrary deadline I know I'm just lying to myself - there have to be real consequences.
Have you ever suffered enough to make that comment though? It is hard to understand how an individual feels when they are on their last days fighting with cancer.

I would like to be able to go, when I no longer want to suffer. Keeping people alive seems kind of sadistic to me.

I highly recommend anyone watch documentary about Masahiro Tanaka. He was a palliative care doctor who treated dying patients, and was diagnosed with a cancer himself. He asked his wife who is also physician to ease his suffering and help him pass. The film crew wanted to film the ideal way to pass. What they witnessed was much more interesting. His wife kept him alive against his wishes, just to prolong his existence. It was quite sad.
To me, the advantages are support for multiple common file formats out of the box on Windows (text files with Unix line endings, DOCX, ODT, etc.). I know I have an option with a base Windows install for some file types if I'm ever using it.
I think you're confused. OpenVPN is both the server and the client. I'm arguing that you can simply download an OpenVPN client, get the .ovpn config from your VPN provider, and you're good to go.

To clarify: VPN Providers are running their own OpenVPN servers, and this is likely what their apps are connecting to in the first place. This is why most of them offer .ovpn configs for you to use in your OpenVPN client.
I agree with your observation that the UK has never been occupied, but disagree that the UK can afford to disregard continental matters. The UK has deployed soldiers to fight and die in continental Europe since the Middle Ages, and the last World War heralded in a period of untold suffering for civilian populations on the Home Front, all of whom were well within the reach of industrial-era weapons and legitimate targets within the remit of the doctrines of Total War.

It’s not for no reason that the past 300 years of British foreign policy has revolved around the principle of ensuring that no continental power could rise up to the point of posing a threat to her navies. Admittedly, this is now truly superseded, but it should bear an impact on people’s decisions.
If my deathbed is under a sheet of filthy cardboard as I sleep on the street, believe me, I'll be looking back wishing I'd made more money.

Dont know why down voted. Even if someone doesnt care for individuals in other legal zones (sad), the extra injustice Apple is accepting in other legal zones is a clear display of what they are willing to do to you eventually.

So I 100% agree.
What Apple claims and do are two different things... just like politicians tend to do.

It's an interesting idea, mostly applicable to long running processes (e.g,. a server) where the concept of "idle time" applies.

For something like a process that starts up, does its job as quickly as possible and then stops, it is less obvious how to do it: you could certainly start another thread to do this, but if you are willing to add threading you are probably better off just trying to parallelize the underlying work, rather than doing zero async.

The main downsides to this approach:

1) It is cache unfriendly: if you zero the pages synchronously immediately prior to use, you bring them into cache during the zeroing and then they are hot when you use them on the same thread. For idle zeroing this link is lost so you are likely to bring them into cache twice: once during the zeroing and once during the subsequent use.

2) On NUMA systems, doing the idling on some thread/CPU distinct from where you will use it is an anti-pattern: with the usual "first touch" allocation, the memory will be allocated on the node doing the zeroing, potentially different from the node doing the using - which could be an arbitrarily large penalty over time (as you keep using the remote memory for an arbitrarily long time)

Note that (1) is a common confounding factor when measuring the cost of zeroing. E.g., if you have something like:

zero(mem)
do_work(mem)

You might measure the zeroing taking 500 (time units) and the work taking 800, total of 1300. Lets say you find a clever way to totally avoid the zeroing (e.g., maybe do_work didn't actually need zeroed memory): you expect only the 800 time units of work to remain - but actually measure 1200: the zeroing more than just zeroing: it was bringing in all the memory into cache and suffering all the cache, TLB misses, etc. When you remove it, that work just moves over to the subsequent work.

In some cases do_work alone can even be slower than the sum of zeroing and do_work (e.g, 1,500 time units) - because the interleaving of the work with cache misses can be less efficient in an MLP sense (because the work clogs up the OoO buffers so fewer memory requests fit in the window).
Does LibreOffice work for you? I will also mention OpenOffice. LO is a forked of OO. Search online for the LibreOffice vs OpenOffice for more information. I also tried Abiword if you want another one (not sure if abiword is available on Windows).
This has been my experience. Carving out time for refactoring explicitly is only beneficial when your stakeholders, PM's, etc. understand its importance completely. Usually, at least one person up the chain says "it's already working and we have more important things to focus on. Put it on the backlog indefinitely."

Better to just incorporate refactoring into the estimate for any given coding task and do it without explicit permission. Unless of course you're in a culture that is willing to straight up miss a deadline in order to get refactoring finished.
This seems to be about doing filtering with Pandas, not pure python. The title should probably be changed to reflect this.
This...does not seem as bad as I originally thought. Just a prompt bar to use Office instead of WordPad. I was thinking it would look like the start menu does. Admittedly I would be more concerned if it was advertising something other than a product most consumers regard as the default way to edit text.

Their goods would also be subject to EU tariffs depending on how trade talks go and the EU accounts for ~50% of UK trade iirc. So it's still very up in the air.
TBH I regret even dignifying the return idea with a response, because the return policy is a stupid distraction to begin with. The real point here is: it's better to order an item and receive that item, than to order an item and receive a block of clay instead. Is this really an argument we need to have? Return policy is irrelevant: if I had received the part I ordered I wouldn't have returned it.
cykey.co.uk is an interesting option - very easy to learn (I did it in an afternoon), but suffers from a couple of shortcomings: 1) there's no dedicated backspace key; 2) the characters regularly used by programmers are awkward to get at in some cases. Both of these issues could be addressed, and I'm experimenting with my own build which will use two rows of 5 keys, the upper row providing access to key layers + BS.

PS. It's also IR, not bluetooth - but thats a trivial DIY fix.
It's also that Germany has a reputation for being the eco-friendly country, while in fact not really caring about its climate impact from some very important domains : high-carbon electricity, heavy polluting industry.
the youth are either ambivalent or just not the point of understanding, have you seen how much they freely share with each other on messaging, dating, and other apps? Now for the most part today's schools lean pretty heavily towards indoctrination and with so many distractions at hand at their age they don't see issues we see.

As I posted before, then you get into the so called adult realm and many of them will trade away privacy if it gets them money off their coffee, coupons for grocery, or just to brag about their latest get away. it does not matter if its private or government channels, give them a reward and they want it.

Privacy also tends to be highly associated with identity theft not realizing that not only is privacy important for reasons of protecting your stuff but your person and your interest also need protecting both from government and private parties.

Also, some here seem to think they have more to lose than they do. It seems more about wanting to be part of a victim class as long as people and organizations they don't like are punished

tl;dr no, most don't care, give them a cookie and you can get their email and more
This post makes no sense. ArXiv is a site to which papers are posted. ACM and IEEE are technical societies with a range of publications professionally managed, peer reviewed, and edited. They serve different needs and have--surprise surprise--different costs.

I really like and hate this site at the same time.

I like it because of its minimalism and function over form.

I hate it because I have no idea what any of it means.

That's not a critique. It should stay high on the SNR, as it clearly serves a purpose. I'm just jealous because I know other folks that have figured this stuff out and are likely far smarter than me are making a ton of money right now. PEBCAK.

Any idea where I should start so I can grok this site better?
I think you’re right. I would like/love it if my hospital dropped Cerner for Epic, as I could get my job done at least 20% faster, which would allow more time with family.

My main point I wanted to make was 1) that I also hated Epic the first time I used it in residency (we switched from Cerner to Epic for outpatient only). 2) I have so far never met someone who prefers another EMR over Epic, which really says something since Epic is also bad.
I wish there was a way to directly help Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yandex improve their search results. I've tried both, and it's just not the same.

Google I can bang in cryptic queries like
> centos 7 tuned no daemon

and get the 3rd link about how to run tuned in a no daemon mode. Bing/DuckDuckGo have the article at around 7th or 8th place, but prefaced by a lot of "while technically not wrong, not what I'm looking for" links. It's even worse for more niche errors or code snippets.

We cannot, as a healthy internet, let Google control so much of the web.
Medium is quickly going down the Quora path for me. The content quality is becoming poorer as more and more people use it as a place to dump their zero-traffic blog posts.

The aggressive content gating and pop-ups are another Quora-esque introduction.

Just a case of being blinded by metrics. Adding an aggressive sign-up form might get you more emails and sign-ups, but it will also annoy away better quality users.

Wordpad is a free application included in Windows. Microsoft Word is a pay to use application not included in Windows.

Wordpad is not within the Office product family.

In fact, before the divisions got semi-unified Wordpad was developed by an entirely different division from Office. Hence why Microsoft had multiple what you see is what you get word editors.
The nickname works like alias that only shows 3 characters of the name. Before using nickname the code frees the name making both name and nickname invalid.
The error here is use after free and one strengths of rust is to detect errors like this.

In C such code would compile, what's worse, it would work and behave correctly most of the time. If your code was more complex (for example using threads) you would get a bug that the code would work fine most of the time, but once in a while it would display garbage.
I listened to hundreds of audiobooks by borrowing boxes of CDs. Now, many libraries have accounts with Overdrive and similar services that make audiobooks available for free (as well as e-books and similar resources).

I feel kinda bad that I haven't been inside my local branch in a very long time. I love libraries and are very grateful for how much material they have lent me over the years. I am glad that they continue to provide those services for people, and hope that the shift to digital resources doesn't result in closing branches. They're still needed.
