I understand that with many spam-related heuristics, a company like Google chooses not to share exactly why a site or e-mail server is blacklisted -- because an actual spammer can evade that metric and still get away with everything.

But I don't believe that thinking applies whatsoever to apps or extensions. There are far fewer of them and parties need to work together. It's unfathomable to me why Google doesn't point out which specific permissions a reviewer has flagged as suspect, or given an option for the developer to give the justification specific to each option.
Posted this previously when the subject came up, but John Campbell, an nurse and educator in Northern England who's been doing daily Youtube updates on global Covid news since January I believe, has put out a few videos from time to time related to vitamin D:

He offers published studies as evidence to suggest vitamin D deficiency may play a partial role in explaining higher mortality rates among people with darker skin (other important social disparities notwithstanding).
Google are cutting the branch they are sitting on. I only use Chrome because certain extensions are not available on Firefox. During all these years, they've become impossible to deal with. I open Chrome with 10 tabs and after a couple of hours it's using gigabytes of RAM. From a thin client, it became the thickest client in the visible universe. It's time to consider options... not that there are many.
I know one like this and the truth is that he doesn’t bother.

He dramatically improves the processes and code which isn’t domain specific and just leaves the rest a mess.

Improve auth? Yes. Improve finance module? Yes. Build better APIs and SQL queries? Yes.

Fix the problems in the actuarial system for funerals? Nope. That’s when you leave and do it all over again.

Advice to leaders by Laurel Farrer, CEO & Founder Distribute Consulting
Sure it is easily possible to make impact in the first month of hiring, but this will most likely be the wrong kind of impact.
I've found the exact opposite to be true in my very specific experience. Five years ago I used every Google product under the sun, today the only Google product I use at all (even search) is Chrome because it's the only one I haven't been able to replace.

I try Firefox with a fresh install on nearly every major release and I keep it installed as a secondary browser, but I can never manage to use it as my daily browser. For whatever reason, none of my company's (major tech company but not a competitor to Mozilla in any way) internal web pages load in Firefox. No error, no warning, nothing in the console, just zero content. Blank page. I've tried it on two computers with the same result and just nothing. No extensions installed, nothing I've installed on my network or computer to block anything. It just doesn't load anything.

On the other hand I keep Firefox installed because Chrome refuses to load my dev environment with a self-signed certificate. Firefox will let me click "I accept the risk" but Chrome just refuses to load with a self-signed cert.

I'd love to use just one (preferably Firefox) but I guess the web is still hard to get right.
I think there's more than just visibility: the pizza driver at least has a fixed rate which doesn't change all of the time and there isn't a third party hiding part of the billing. Most of the gig apps try to obscure their share of the money, especially from the customer and driver, and anything which has the concept of surge pricing can add noise which makes it harder to understand the impact of changes.
Yes, we did. The higher editions of Windows 10 do seem to be qualitatively different products that don't have the technical deal-breakers we are concerned about. Unfortunately, as far as we could tell, there was no (legal, properly supported) way to get hold of any of them for small businesses like ours through simple one-off purchases of permanent licences.

When talking about the size of an economy, it's more useful to give actual statistical calculations indicating hypothesised/alluded size than to offer anecdotes.

Why is your statement based at all on that assumption?

I don't see what makes surveillance drones necessarily worse than human cops flying helicopters overhead with cameras (which I know for a fact occurs in my city). What makes the "drone" part problematic?

This is not saying that all of the other major re-architecture blog posts are flawed. However, it is good to know that scaling when using cloud vendor specific tools is as easy as advertised.
Stateful servers seems like an atrocious point of failure nowadays (except if it's a DB server, or a persistent queue). And i barely see it anymore, now that everything seems to be running on containers or VM that are supposed to be destroyable at any time.

That's why the value of OTP seems to be less obvious at the moment (from the point of view of someone who doesn't use it). But there's surely something i'm missing.

They are very comparable products, but it's mostly a matter of what I am used to.

After using Eclipse for ten years I feel like IntelliJ makes some actions difficult to get to, either through weird key bindings or not providing them at all. I also prefer Eclipse's code completion as it feels like IntelliJ's gets in the way at times.
I literally can't follow your points. Of course people care about the Spotify UI, that's how they interact with Spotify. And it doesn't matter if end users or businesses pay for Slack, people do pay for Slack and its software and UI is part of what they pay for.

Are you just going to find a different reason why you're going to ignore software built on a web tech-stack? Add up the market valuation of all companies using web technology to bring software to their users. Then compare it to the native market. It's not even close.

It's perfectly fine to use market value to estimate utility in a capitalist system. You just can't ignore every piece of software you don't like.

> What I appreciate about this update is how little code it breaks

Other than a bunch of code reliant on the stuff removed from erl_interface, of course. No idea how big of an impact that has on real-world projects, though.

The deprecation of erlang:get_stacktrace/0 also gave me a brief heart attack for one of my projects¹, but luckily I had the foresight to gate that to older OTP versions (and with newer versions the relevant code already removes dependence on that function), so I can rest at least a little bit easy.

My family has been depending on InstaCart for groceries. Two deliveries a week has kept us in fresh food (mostly) and household necessities without us having to venture to the markets. For us, it's been vital. (We're in the risk profile for bad COVID-19 outcomes, so we've been extremely careful).

> If Fortran has been around for this long without a standard library, then what do people use now?

The actual language, for example most of the functionality that in C is considered to be in the standard library (like I/O operations, mathematical functions) is implemented in the language in Fortran's case.

If the language is not enough for your particular case, you can use third party library like BLAS, LAPACK ...
Yes, I consider these examples to be arbitrary. The risks are different, but is not clear that one is safer than another. Interpretations are different county to county with no rhyme or reason, with safer locations implementing more restrictive measures.

Examples of bad edge cases prove that bad edge cases exist. These too are arbitrary, but by definition, less commonplace.

Grocery delivery is not the same as grocery shoppers. For me, the two largest local grocery chains are offering grocery delivery and/or pickup, which always bypasses the shelves - IIRC one of them has the shelf-stocking people pack the deliveries before they go onto shelves; the other is packing the deliveries in the logistics centres alongside with the stuff that goes to restock the many smaller stores.

Obviously, having someone go to a store just for your purchase and walk along all the isles to pick stuff up is horrendously inefficient.

Good. I've never seen a non-emotional argument for diversity and inclusovity programs.

A company has no need to represent society as a whole, or worse, a duty to equalize societies inequalities.

Any attempt to do so inherently harms as many people as it helps, it just moved the harm to groups unprotected by emotional arguments
Came here to comment this.
Interesting. I'd also like to see compiled a curated list of standard Fortran libraries, that is commonly used and hopefully academically peer reviewed and part of prominent published work.

Scientific programming in fields that have significant Fortran legacy is often a matter of writing new code to build upon or adapt existing experimentally verified code for new studies.

An annotated library of notable code and details about it with references to publications could be very valuable.

Unfamiliar to most developers, scientific programming has the quirk that the more code you write, the more your experiment becomes about the code instead of your actual thesis. This is one of the reasons Fortran stays relevant, decades of code and experiment built up as a foundation for something new.
It's not as black and white as you're making it seem. I'd suggest thinking through it one more time while keeping that in mind.
It seems Eclipse has been losing market share to VS Code. Maybe this is a ploy to get the European regulators to fine Microsoft for anti-competitive behavior with regards to VS Code.

"Incident" could mean several things.

Outages mean down, badly, and require RFOs. In my experience working at an ISP we only did any sort of "blame-game" if customers demanded an RFO. We still did post-mortems but usually in a more gentle, roundtable way.
Haha, my "workarounds" consisted of being persistent with a few different support emails I found, posting on the Chromium support forums, and a few other things. Pretty boring stuff, and I'm not really sure that it even worked.

Weeks or months from now, I'm sure someone will get their extension removed from the store, and may come across this post scrambling for a solution. If that's you, please reach out to me and I can send you the support emails and everything I tried.

I'd rename it to "pay someone else to do it". In the case of YouTube, even if the hosting is free, YT still makes a profit (ads, tracking, etc.) so it's a win-win for all.

Why was self-generated and self-hosted captcha easy to beat?

I found that generating math questions in a captcha style (curved / with other noise drawing over) and requiring that questions to be answered in a box is unbeatable. The bad actor would require very good OCR and after that also good math parser to answer. Easy for human, very hard for automation. And the script was like 50 lines long that did that.

I'd delete this too. Supplementing Vitamin D is a good idea and promotes an overall healthier person. It'd be great if you could stop trying to spread misinformation.

From: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/

> Vitamin D is a nutrient found in some foods that is needed for health and to maintain strong bones. It does so by helping the body absorb calcium (one of bone’s main building blocks) from food and supplements. People who get too little vitamin D may develop soft, thin, and brittle bones, a condition known as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

> Vitamin D is important to the body in many other ways as well. Muscles need it to move, for example, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body.
The issue with your understanding is that in reality, dimensions are not discrete. Dimensions are continuous. As soon as you index a dimension of an n-dimensional space you do not have n-dimensions, but a set of (n-1)
-dimensional spaces.

You cannot represent an n-dimensional point in 2D; that means representing an n-dimensional point bijectively onto a finite a̶m̶o̶u̶n̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶2̶D̶ ̶s̶p̶a̶c̶e̶ number of 2D points. You can represent one n-dimensional point using an entire 2-dimensonal space, but that's not what I am talking about. There is no bijection possible from one spatial dimension into two spatial dimensions because all R->R^2 and so on bijections are impossible to construct continuously .

A frequency distribution is not the set of 1D functions. A frequency distribution represents one 2D function. Indeed, the amplitude of each possible frequency is in reality the Fourier transform of a 2D, or one argument function.

The function f(x) = 2x^2, is a 2D, one argument function, as it describes the relationship between two dimensions.

A 1D wave is actually a 2D function. You cannot abstract away time in this situation. There is no such thing as a 1D function; all functions require at least two dimensions. A 1 argument function necessitates a 2D space. For example, s = vt + a/2(t^2) is a relationship between two dimensions, time and displacement.
Capital faces a 'fundamental reset', says torch-wielding mob.
This article got its central point not only wrong but patently wrong.

Remote work puts downward pressure on the highest salaries [think globalisation but on a smaller scale — poor countries are main beneficiaries of globalisation]. People with a low amount of opportunities will have more opportunities [upward pressure] and the highest earners will need to compete with higher number of people [downward pressure].

It literally decreases inequality.

The article points out that there is a difference in earnings and higher-earning jobs can be done remotely more often, which is not that valuable insight itself but it is meaningless in the context of inequality. People that have jobs that can't be done remotely are 'constant' in this equation — their situation won't change meaningfully.
