Oh, they're all hold/tap. Hold CapsLock to get Ctrl, tap to get Esc. Similarly with the shifts, hold to get shift, tap to get ( on left and ) on right. Tab is the same way, hold down tab to transform the keys.
I'm sure that you could work a deal under the table to buy a hog or a bullock, if you were willing to redneck it up and process it yourself, but there is so fucking much red tape in the way of doing this at scale.
I am under the impression the author is missing the point of the lockdown. The main point is not about "saving lives" / "avoiding deaths".

Lockdown is about (1) keeping hospitals under capacity and (2) hopefully slowing the virus to the point it's not an epidemic anymore.

If you don't keep hospitals under capacity, people who can be cured have to be either moved somewhere else at great cost (this happened, there have been people moved from France to Germany) or left to die because they cannot be taken care of (I am pretty sure this happened too). Please note people who have another issue than the Coronavirus are also affected. That's what everyone REALLY wants to avoid. Needless to say, letting the virus run its course and overwhelm hospitals would have an order of magnitude more deaths.

The hard issue is about how to re-open without letting the virus rampage again. It's a lot of difficult decisions, and no one have conclusive data on what works and what does not. It's going to be a lot of trial and error, as shown by the fact that no 2 countries have the same rules to reopen.
So reading the blurb for that:

"Drawing upon 40 years' experience as an ecological farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin explains with humor and passion why Americans do not have the freedom to choose the food they purchase and eat. From child labor regulations to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves sole discretion over what food is available in the local marketplace. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food commerce, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality, and exposure to non-organic farming practices. Salatin's expert insight explains why local food is expensive and difficult to find and will illuminate for the reader a deeper understanding of the industrial food complex."

from https://www.bookdepository.com/Everything-I-Want-Do-is-Illeg... makes me think, given the implied negatives of child labor regulations and food inspection, that anyone reading that book should follow up with a quick read of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, the same way that I found Oliver Twist a useful tonic after my first exposure to Atlas Shrugged.

Facebook keeps Instagram (and Whatsapp) as a form of market segmentation. Just like how Proctor & Gamble sells eleven (!) different brands of laundry detergent:

Presumably they capture more of the overall market for detergent that way. Maybe the same mechanisms do not apply to retail in general.

I am not into the CSS game anymore, if anything needs to be done I'd just go with whatever widgets any CSS framework offers, but why has it been so hard for so long to center things with CSS (I believe flexbox finally fixed it) ?
> So while I do agree newspapers have always been ads with some news thrown in there to get people to look at the paper, there were some much higher costs there in the paper part of the newspaper

Distribution costs went down, but so did ad revenue.

It used to be that a subscription primarily paid for the cost of printing/distribution, and the real profit came from advertising. Unfortunately, print ads use to pay significantly more than web ads do today. So while the distribution costs are lower, most newspapers now need both revenue sources.
Arguably it's hard to have a functioning journalism if it's funded - and therefore directed and censored - by the needs of advertisers.
It wouldn't be so bad if most library documentation wasn't so poor on average.
I think we're seeing quite a few top level athletes who demonstrate extreme competitiveness and aggression, but are able to compartmentalize it very well between "on the field" and "off the field."

I think Patrick Mahomes is an exemplar of this - he is very aggresive and high performing, but when things don't work out, he's immediately able to switch into the mode where he can congratulate the person that beat him and then again turn around and start kicking ass.

Basically, high performance in sports does not require you to be an asshole, and we're seeing more and more examples of that.
Sure could be, but to play devils advocate maybe not, some hashing libraries have limits (silent truncation or otherwise) and/or it could be reasonable not to allow users to make the backend hash strings of unbounded length.

These specific limitations indicate that it's more likely to be something bad however, it's funny because I remember adding EasyJet to https://github.com/dumb-password-rules/dumb-password-rules/p... last year.
How is everyone being blind to the fact that they will now simply start collecting their own user data and do targeted ads by themselves? And yes this includes potentially sensitive stuff like location data, not just NYT reading history. Adverts are not going away and they're not going subscription only, they're just going to figure out what ads to run by themselves instead of relying on 3rd parties.

Imagine every single publisher does this and how many security holes that will open. Sure maybe you trust NYT to generally do the right thing with data (very debatable) but what happens when Buzzfeed does this? Do you think they'll adopt sensible data collection policies? What about the S*n?

What about the data they collect? Can we guarantee that they simply won't become data brokers again? I would much rather have entrenched players like G / FB collect and take the blame for privacy misses than have every single organization build their own leaky data collection systems.
What a difference to the USA. The constitution there is not applied whenever some obscure official dims it necessary to spy on anyone (citizen or not) for "supposedly" national security reasons.
it still baffles me everytime why they wait for so long to admit it, and why there's no accountability for such incompetence.
Hands down the best summary of what seems to be going on I've seen.

I vaguely remember new features some 5+ years ago, or promises of fixing issues (that are still there), but that had stopped and all we got was a social-network-like feed. One would think with the data they have Metro would be able to profit from free users, but I guess not?

I think we just have different understanding of what “government” means. I consider the judiciary an equal part of the government the same as the legislature and the executive. From your comment it seems you only consider “government” to mean the legislative branch.
"Comcast era" is not accurate, nor is the limitation "made up". ADSL service in fact has been the best option for a lot of us in Vermont and other rural areas, and while DSL can be symmetric as a technology it gets hard in spread out deployments to keep up signal. There are real tradeoffs to make when total bandwidth (in the signal sense) is pretty limited, trying to get pushed over old copper.

Going forward yes, it'd be nice to see symmetric speeds get emphasized more and hopefully made standard for any future targets. Widely deployed decent symmetric links would open up a lot of new options for decentralization, though it's probably worth being mindful of the negative effect it could have in terms of botnets if some thought isn't put into it. And a mere THREE down is definitely pretty absurd at this point, some friends on 25 Mbps ADSL still get 10 Mbps up and an office that is close enough to the provider to get 50 Mbps down is at ~24 up. But having some asymmetry at all doesn't seem inherently unfair yet? Between wisps/starlink/fiber maybe symmetric can be the goal next definition update.
Are there any language bindings for the engine, so I don't have to use Lua?
This is how I’m building my startup[1]. All data stays with the customer and we actively don’t want it, because that’s how I wish all my products worked. I suspect you will see more startups who treat data more respectfully in the future, as the next wave of founders have experienced the consequences of unrestricted data collection.

Having said that, I also think a large part of the problem is that treating data like toxic waste is hard. There are more established patterns for data collection than data destruction. How do you know when it’s safe to delete some piece of data? What if the user comes back and complains about a transaction after you’ve deleted the associated data?

Google finally has some competition! More publishers should do this (or Nytimes may end up selling ad services to smaller publishers)
If they're doing it right, it's locked in a smart contract, in a bunch of individual balances that get unlocked when an admin at Brave provides a withdrawal address. That way, while they could steal from those accounts, it'd be readily apparent to any intended recipient whose funds were stolen.
I'm a solo developer, nothing close to a big company, I suppose that a contract is the best fit in my case. And if I need them again I can rehire for a contract.

With a contract, I can give them more time to learn the product, and to understand the business. With a freelancer I think I will lose my time and money.

You hired two contractors, did you assign them the same project overlapping or different parts?

Meh idk, seems like a waste of time. I have worked as a front end engineer at large companies my whole career and have never once been asked for a portfolio.
Watch out–if you signed up with a CC they take that as consent to re-subscribe you year after year. They did this to me, when I called they said "you authorized re-subscription when you paid by credit card. Paying by credit card automatically auto-renews." Mind you this is not a $20/month renewal but an annual renewal for hundreds of dollars, so it was not small potatoes. I am 100% certain I never checked a box specifically & clearly opting in to auto-renewal. There's absolutely no way I'd do that for a $300+ charge.

I had to call and pitch a fit to get them to at least stop sending papers (to my old address, I don't live in the USA any more) and give me a prorated refund. They were completely shady and untrustworthy, I'll never do business with them again.
I'm a big PG fan but to be honest, him building viaweb in Lisp is 99% because: "Robert and I both knew Lisp well, and we couldn't see any reason not to trust our instincts and go with Lisp.", and not because of a competitive advantage in the language.

There are so many things that can go wrong in a startup, it's not the time to pick a stack or database you know nothing about.
China also has strict restrictions on GPS data, including requiring purposeful obfuscation of coordinates for their GCJ-02 geodetic datum, for national security purposes. They don't want accurate maps made.
I doubt it. Prolog is inherently based on DFS that usually leads to inefficient algorithms. Cut operator then turns any source into an unreadable mess.

Which is a problem right? Now it emerges what has been breached. Including credit card data. Surely the prudent thing would have been to warn all their customers immediately to allow them to be on the lookout for malicious use of their data (phishing, etc.) and not wait until they have concluded their investigation.

Just thought of another feature.

GIFs are highly emotional (in most cases) I think a good UX feature would be to quickly describe a complex emotion by clicking through emotion recommendations, and adding them to a tag list which could find you matching GIFs

(Happy), (Nervous), (Scared)

(Happy), (Hungry), (Sleepy)

(Angry), (Hungry), (Tired)

This could help find the perfect reaction GIF... The possibilities are endless

that can cause some issues in Chrome oddly enough, depending on how you're using it.
What? This is not "just a toy". And we did not leave out the work of choosing parameter values - we made a large effort to select reasonable default values for all the parameters. Also, what are you referring to with this "comments in the source on some other page"? Which page? Which comments?

Compared with SQL it's definitely imperative. It's definitely using higher-level abstractions than a `for` loop, but it still specifies the order of operations.
I got the feeling that Atom might be a better analogy. For example, you can get a Spacemacs like environment if you use the Proton extension (https://discuss.atom.io/t/announce-proton-vim-focused-spacem...), which itself is written in ClojureScript, which is live-reloadable...
The cost would be non-zero, so it won't be done. In fact, it would be very much higher than non-zero. You can't just march these animals down the road to the market one morning and give them away. Just because there are sentient beings involved you shouldn't think that this is any different from any other huge industrial operation. A car manufacturer can't expect to be able to liquidise a bunch of parts. Without the correct tooling it's worthless to anyone. Meat is the finished product, not animals. And those animals have no more rights than a hunk of metal.
California did [1]. I was a customer of the NYT online a few months after this law went into effect and I also had to call in during business hours which are Eastern Time centric. They try to sell you super hard on staying.

Someone else here said this can save you money this way, but the salesman I got came back at me with an offer to stay for the same price I was already paying.

Between them not complying with CA law (I'm a resident of CA) and them showing me ads when I pay them, I decided to end my subscription for good.

Here's a really naive question. The article talks about collecting data for some audience segments. Are they talking about letting users check checkboxes for the segments they might be interested in, or are they going to try to do what the third-party advertising companies do, which is try to guess what segments their users fall into by hoovering up what data they can find about them?

It's crazy to me that there is a multi-billion dollar industry focused on trying to guess what ads I might be interested in, using lots of privacy-invading techniques that I do my best to counter. Did they ever think to just ask me? I might not care much about ads if it was as simple as declaring the categories I might be interested in, at least if I could be convinced that that's all I would see and that the crazy privacy violations would stop.
'Interpreted' is often used to mean 'not compiled to machine code'. Perl fits that bill. So do, say, CPython and Lua, in contrast to JIT-compiling runtime systems like PyPy or LuaJIT or AOT-compiled languages like C or Rust.
They pretty much are subscription only at this point already. Secondly, just because they aren't serving third-party cookies doesn't mean they are rolling their own tracking service. You can convert a third-party cookie to first party with a DNS entry. It just prevents browsers from sharing data.
Early GIPHY investor may see $0
Baseless but I wonder if this will be a longer strategy to become a 3rd-party advertiser themselves.
Ok, so things haven't really changed that much. They don't actively prevent you from getting the data, but they don't make it easy either.
As far as I'm aware, Brave is the only browser that blocks ads by default. Personally I just use uBO/uMatrix on Firefox, but I can certainly understand why some people might prefer a more streamlined default experience.

The fact that so many people get bent out of shape about Brave blocking ads by default is probably also seen as a positive signal by many people who hate ads. If Brave pisses off people who run ad-supported websites, that's a fantastic endorsement.
Symmetric gigabit is under $80/mo from AT&T where I live. That's not only good new infrastructure but also significantly cheaper than the old cable stuff. Maybe were the space less regulated ISPs would make a greater investment, especially were it easier to start one's own. If the WISP idea ever gets really good that would solve most of the situation.

Who would feed them?

Releasing large quantities of animals to nature is both anti-ecological and inhumane, as it results in destruction of that ecosystem, starvation, cannibalism, etc. Like the horrible aftermath of the cases when activists have "freed" animals from fur farms, resulting in them dying within weeks but also taking all the local wildlife (e.g. nesting birds) with them. You can successfully do a controlled release of a limited number of animals given proper preparation. But if we're talking about releasing large numbers quickly, culling is much more humane than that that.

uBlock Origin still works fine in Chromium today. Even if Google were to disallow it and other powerful adblockers, the alternative (similar to content blockers on MobileSafari) is not a serious problem, at least for me. I have Ka-Block! on my iPhone, which blocks ads just fine, despite having a much less powerful interface than uBO.
But they do have 3rd party sellers which is the main reason I won't use them.
Developers at unicorns: even in the best of times, do you feel more expendable than you've felt at other jobs?

I've never been at a unicorn, but I have been at many startups. The story is the same everywhere. Almost no one is irreplaceable. When times get tight, cutting overhead means letting people go.
You are assuming many things that are simply not true. There is no goal or will to integrate Guile in Emacs. It was a failed experiment taken up by volunteers outside of the core Emacs development team.

Most of the value in the Emacs ecosystem lies in Emacs Lisp and not in an "abstracted out" Emacs definition. Plenty of folks have implemented Emacs in various languages (using the same "abstracted out" definition) and guess what, all of them went nowhere. Because they were missing the point, just like you do.

None of that is third party data.

NYT is the party segmenting their users and allowing segments to be targeted.
