What could be worse is if the same patterns and culture of allowing targeting and monetization carry over to Facebook Dating from the rest of the Facebook platform and organization.

Combined with romance scams[0], it seems possible that Facebook Dating would provide narcissists, manipulators and fraudsters with a lucrative marketplace to operate in.

I think it's important to put as many websites that require login inside containers (as you already do). Separating them is also a nice plus: Having FB and some other website B in the same container can give website B knowledge about your FB identity (through fb like buttons and such). See https://robinlinus.github.io/socialmedia-leak/
I try not to log in to any website on my default container.
Also keep all the news websites where I accepted those giant cookie overlays in a "Reading" container.

MWC is a lot higher profile. And, once Ericsson pulled out, a number of other companies felt that they wanted to be seen (both internally and externally) as doing the "responsible" thing. And that really opened to floodgates to the point where holding the show without a bunch of major companies and pared-back attendance just didn't make sense.

Use multiprocessing [0] if you really want to stick with python. You're leaving a lot of performance on the table due to inter process communication but python isn't exactly known for being the fastest programming language. I assume your goal is making legacy applications run on multiple cores and multiprocessing is fine for that.

I once forgot a 4 digit pin code I had used hundreds of time. It was scary, I thought I was going insane. I had to have it reset. (What I think happened is that I inverted two of the digits.)
Looks like a neat book. I’d stress early on, once you get to inductance and capacitance, that the energy in a circuit is contained in the fields, which are the consequences of charges (or vice versa). It’s the fields that matter.

When you flip that switch, the drift velocity of charges in (on) the bare copper is only a few cm/s, but the field propagates at the speed of light, between the wire and it’s return (mathematically convenient ground). The energy is around the wires in the fields. The only true ground is at infinity.

If you can get that drilled into your head from early on, it will be beneficial to high speed circuits and RF. Introductory books never do that.
I liked this summary

well, it could provide designers a tool for designing their mockups and share the resulting React components with the developers—thus removing the need for the latter to manually translate mockups into code.
There are various takes on that, which of course depend on values each person (and country) considers as the most important.

In my personal opinion, Europe (in which I live) as an "Amish bias" [1], i.e. by default being more cautious about introducing new technologies. I am already annoyed by the constant cookie pop-ups that significantly affect my browsing experience but on mobile.

Yes, there are risks with all technologies. But with the current mindset, Europe is setting itself way back comparing to the USA... which is much more cautious than China. Or in other words, Europe sets itself to be the World's calm countryside, in which people live as they used to.

Some (maybe even the majority) may like it. Personally, I am asking myself from time to time - when it is time to move to Asia.

The other replies have covered this pretty well, but the two models are quite similar. The big difference is the formal constraints of the actor model, which allow people to build robust distributed systems. This is because the lack of certainty of communication and architecture is assumed as a first principle. This makes a big difference, in practice, for what programs actually look like.
Slight tangent, but it seems that TechCrunch are also quite bad at privacy - following the link initially redirects to https://guce.techcrunch.com/consent?brandType=nonEU&done=htt...} with a 307, which, when followed redirects to https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=3_...} with a 302.

I like that the "consent" URL doesn't actually ask for consent - it just immediately redirects to "collect identifiers" - it's possible they already assume they have my consent, but since this was checked with a cookie-less cURL command, that seems unlikely. Since my adblocker is blocking the guce.advertising.com domain, I guess I don't get to visit TechCrunch.
Oh but many people will say it's child's play and management is where it's at. And then they you will have 10 people doing the work of 1.
Not kidding. I was a few years in having taken a few analog electrical engineering courses with labs, signals and systems, a course and a lab on power before we got to digital circuits. The first course in digital circuits didn't have a lab. It wasn't until we got to the microprocessors course where we had to work with a Motorola 68HC11 on a breadboard that the concept of bypass capacitors was explained to us in a lab. It was 20+ years ago. Maybe things are different now.
I think there are three main levels in the approach to hobby electronics: 1: do it as the book says so it will work, 2: build experience also by making modifications so one can know in a pure empirical way why it does or doesn't work (for example using an electrolytic cap for RF decoupling), and 3: learn the theory behind parts and how they work, in order to be able to design from scratch or make heavy adaptations. 1 and 2 require time and will, 3 requires also math knowledge, and can be slow to conquer. I have personally been stuck too long time at 2, and now am still somewhere like 5% of 3, which all things considered is not bad at all.
The alternative may be that having a single price point would price some consumers out of the market.
I don’t want to be a jerk with this comment.. this looks like a great resource, and it obviously represents a lot of work by a lot of talented people. But the premise seems to be the same premise that kept me away from a fun and practical hobby for decades.

I got a Radio Shack 50-in-1 electronics kit for Christmas when I was a little kit. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, but when I tried to go further with my interest, all I got was equations and theory. For years I just wanted to understand how a transistor, with only 3 connections, could be like a relay, which had two pairs of connections and made logical sense to me. Keep in mind this was pre-Internet, so resources were somewhat limited. In any case, I eventually gave up on hardware and focused my attention on programming.

It wasn’t until the advent of the Arduino that the spark was rekindled and I found a new on ramp to electronics. Start with a breadboard and cookie-cutter circuits that you don’t really have to understand at first, and control everything with software, because you know software. Gradually phrases like “current-limiting resistor” and “bias voltage” start making sense. Watch people like Dave Jones and Big Clive take things apart on YouTube and reverse engineer them. The circuits get bigger and more complex. The next project needs an op-amp, and to your surprise, you can understand the theory now. The data sheet parameters make sense. You can pick out which 4 of the 5 answers on the electronics Stack Exchange are wrong, and adapt the right one to your needs.

I’m having a lot of fun making things, and to answer the question in the book’s introduction, “have you considered how electron collisions lead to Ohm’s Law‘s linearity”, the answer is a resounding “no”. And if people hadn’t told me I needed to consider that to play with electronics, I might not have missed out on many more years of fun.

Actually I think building oop on top of actor model makes the mental model far easier. Instead of worrying if the knight object uses the sword object to hurt the monster obect then which object .deals_damage? Or should the object take_damage? The actor framework, being all message passing, makes these choices clear. True, originally oop was message passing, but no mainstream modern oop languages except Ruby sorta are message passing frameworks.
That's a bit what I feel, college really missed a big spot in terms of education.

That doesn't tell the whole story, though. The cost of preparing and burying a body is, presumably, fixed in normal circumstances. Fancier caskets are a discretionary addition.

Unless the body prep/burial is offered as a free complimentary service when you buy a casket, then presumably the bill for those services covers their cost.

Perhaps competition has set an expectation of a certain price for the service aspect, which is a loss-leader, and then providers make up the loss on casket sales.

If the funeral homes were selling only a casket, I could see it being a volume thing. But I'd expect the fixed costs of the business to be covered by the service fee, hence my question.
In Norwegian this is called "Føre var prinsippet" or the precautionary principle [1].

This does not apply only to tech but to everything and I personally think it is a good idea to not barge into something without considering it. We've done so much damage in the past by acting before thinking.

Subway maps are optimized for taking the subway. Which, yes, especially in a city core with multiple lines may mean they don't really tell you that a trip taking you through two transfers is only about a three block walk.

But, if what you really care about the physical locations, there are tons of other maps that you can use. Subway maps try to preserve some correspondence to the physical world but that's not their primary function.
Broadcom Announces BCM4389 Wi-Fi 6E Client Chipset
Being up front that these are AI generated and keeping people posted on how far along this technology is, is probably the more ethical thing to do.
and... migrating an entire codebase to something new because there's a subset of devs that jump between tech stacks and want 'newer' stuff isn't an economically reasonable choice.

server-side JS was a thing 10 years ago, but it didn't offer enough benefits to switch. same with python, java, ruby - all existed, but didn't offer enough benefits to switch then, and probably still don't now.

also, what would be a "larger supply"? C? Java? C#? JS? PHP has a huge supply of developers at all skill levels, which may make it just as easy (or easier) in finding the talent they need. And... hey - they wrote that initial parsoid in JS and... they've doubled the speed by converging on PHP.
That's not how it should work, you should include updating of the tests in the scope of any task and make sure enough time and resources are assigned.

Ideally the tests should be maintained by the developers themselves so they know how and where to quickly change them to accommodate code and behavior changes.
I don't think anyone is saying immediately, but these are long-lived fairly static systems.

I'm going to assume that you probably update your server's SSHd at least semi-regularly and that if SSH turns out to be broken 20 years down the line, you will probably be switching to something better either manually or when you eventually replace your hardware and reinstall the OS.

This kind of infrastructure is meant to last for decades. Imagine if the original GSM contained a backdoor with the state-of-the-art crypto of the time. Would it still hold up today? Hell, you don't have to imagine - a mid-range smartphone these days can crack a lot of GSM traffic.

Besides that, there's also the problem that not only are these things usually not done with state-of-the-art tech, but leaks happen all the time and it only takes one mistake* for the privkeys to become known.
We have a couple of developments in austin the "domain" which is an outdoor mall integrated with tons of apartments and a ton of actual jobs. The entertainment district serves those who live there, but is probably good enough to attract people from north austin who dont want to go downtown. It is disappointing to see classic strip malls continuing to be built in the suburbs with massive parking lots, when this dense form of living works so well.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Domain/@30.4006016,-97...

There is another development "mueller" which took the old airport and turned it into a neighborhood. It is much less commercial but the parks make it amazing. There are a ton of amenities, but the amenities are car centric. There are some jobs, but not quite enough. As a kid with a bike though there are multiple pools, movie theater, ice cream shop, pizza within biking distance. The small backyards means that everyone gathers at the park to play.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mueller,+Austin,+TX/@30.29...

Both of the developments are heavily influencing the areas around them

Austin is trying to fix old neighborhoods with an updated land development code. The NIMBYS are out in force - they absolutely love the neighborhood character of their car dependent semi suburbs.

I live in "northwest hills" which was developed in the 60s-80s. The developer didnt do a bad job (lots of multi family, missing middle, and SFH), but all the commercial is heavily on one side down a steep hill, which means most of the SFH people are physically separated from the multifamily/commercial area. That means huge parking lots and everyone driving. The commercial should have been pushed more into the SFH area. The city is trying to increase density via zoning and the neighborhood is going crazy. There should be commercial along mesa between far west and spicewood springs rd. The city is upzoning it to 4 plexes which is a step in the right direction.

I found healthy proportion of designing your own projects, debugging/studying existing electronics and spending time on understanding theory behind what you are working on to be the best way for me.

I could never go far learning just theory because I seem to forget soon after I think I have understood it.

Studying/tinkering with existing electronics is fantastic -- there is so much knowledge in most products that I feel drunk with excitation to see how something can be implemented way better and more efficient than I thought. It is very interesting to see how different designers approach their problems and it builds my repository of solutions I can implement.

This is no proxy for actually trying to solve the problems. I think only after you have really tried to solve a problem you can actually appreciate alternative designs.

Now, rinse, lather, repeat.
Depends on what you value indeed.

As a European, I don't feel at all behind the USA.

Even less so since a few years, since I see all the very-USA-specific stuff that's been fed to us as "universal", while it was actually more because most of the production/distribution/media means were sourced from there.

Exceptionalism is its own curse.
If you believe they're the same thing, let's call it "analytics" then, exactly what it is. Let's avoid using the terms like spyware or etc which is an umbrella term which covers very serious damages such as stealing your bank info.
I'm reluctant to broach the subject, but is a "Blockchain" based system a solution to the "The Byzantine Generals Problem"?

> A. All loyal generals decide upon the same plan of action.

All actors arrive at an immutable consensus (the current transaction group in the blockchain).

> B. A small number of traitors cannot cause the loyal generals to adopt a bad plan

It has protection against a small number of bad-actors as they require proof of work/stake which prevents against bad-transactions up until 51% attacks.

I don't have much knowledge in the area though, any thoughts?
Simple. Stop clicking on TechCrunch links.
Being concerned about privacy is not an Amish Bias, it means our citizens are less likely to be abused by some tech company.

To each its own
It's definitely possible to perceive Europe as moving a little slower in terms of technology adoption; it's also possible to argue that that's not a bad thing.

A common narrative in western news is that surveillance in China is developing too quickly and that social credit and other systems are being introduced rapidly, introducing societal risk.

It's possible that's true - and that the U.S. and sillicon valley in particular - while good at developing technology rapidly - are actually on a similar risk trajectory. Within the tech news bubble it's all communicated very differently, of course - it's about innovation, improving lives, and changing the world by disrupting old industries. But perhaps the systems that are being implemented are, in fact, similar.

And to look at the situation from another angle: despite all of these advances in technology, how much has life really changed? We all still have family, friends, education, work, accommodation, food sources and requirements.. there is "nothing new under the sun".

There's a lot to be said for taking some pause and seeing how technology develops, and after careful consideration, selecting the options which lead to clear improvements, while avoiding the options which seem to introduce large negative impacts for individuals and society.
Bypass capacitors are used in analog circuits as well. Not sure what is wrong about that uni. Anyways I am a former physicist and do not have any formal education in electronics. I learned electronics on my own and bypass capacitors were definitely not the last thing to come by.
If the key is not evidence then how can they prove that they got the incriminating files from the encrypted drive?
> why you think ylu are qualified to talk about cats or pets

LOL We are not talking about Higgs' Boson. Is because my human brain that I'm qualified (Is awesome that we have evolved this pink thing if we think about it). In the planet earth, even toddlers are qualified to talk about cats. Pretty common stuff.

You admit that wolves will rarely would bother with cats at least. Is a start.
Not really, in the same way that a single person is different from a "one-person team". Having to communicate across service boundaries is the main downside of microservices and that is not required in a monolith.
So if they already have a pretty darn good idea you murdered someone and the government asks you where the body is and you refuse to tell them and they lock you up then that's not a 5th amendment violation?

In the hard drive case and the hypothetical body location case the government is trying to compel speech that directly leads to incriminating evidence. That seems like a solidly 5th amendment issue to me.
I am not convinced that trading users privacy for any sort of latest and greatest tech necessarily sets you back. This might be true, but it's not a given. If someone shows that the benefits outweigh whatever is gained by such privacy measures, by all means talks about how Europe is falling behind.

I wish browser vendors, instead of native lazy loading for images, focused on a universal mechanism to lazily render arbitrary elements, including custom ones.

Browsers could profile how long rendering a particular type of element takes on a given website, and optimize render triggers to provide seamless experience while conserving bandwidth.

Currently lazily rendering custom elements requires a fair chunk of IntersectionObserver boilerplate code, and beyond that any adaptability to user connection seems too complex to even consider.
