Outside of development work using repositories, I also handle a good amount of design documents, think Indesign/Photoshop etc. My workflow is like this:

- Substantial changes result in a new version number at the end of the file:

Document v34

- Branching to try out ideas uses a marker what this idea was:

Document v34-2 test-color-scheme

If the idea is approved, it results in a new version:

Document v35

- Tagging for long running designs adds the context where it was last used, this can be considered a final release version

Document v36 - July 2020 promo

Once a file is used like that, an export copy with the same name is saved in the same folder:

Document v36 - July 2020 promo.pdf

This document is copied using a general name and then moved to a different folder:

promo2020/july/flyer/Document.pdf

This is what is printed, e-mailed etc. Date and file size allow comparisons to find out which version this was.

While this falls apart for testing a lot of similar ideas at the same time, it has served me well to have a history of snapshots and their context, have all final documents archived, and ignore (or delete) all the versions in between, while still saving progress over days/weeks.
Beyond the basics, a guide on building Figma plugins
> The web already has a user-facing permissions system; it wouldn't be hard to add many of these under that umbrella (USB, Bluetooth, and Sensors stand out as obvious candidates that should've been behind that barrier from the beginning)

Let’s add Javascript to that list too.

Not all sites need it, and given the abuse it’s responsible for, it shouldn’t be permitted unless a user opts in.
I think that we use blkvsc and storvsc disks. I think that the former are used for boot.
I guess the larger point is: he didn't spend much time telling people how great facebook was. He created something with utility and rolled it out in a way that would provide maximum utility to each additional person signing up. (Replicating existing networks in order of diminishing prestige)

It's not obvious that it works until you hit the play button and it starts at the right time. Seems like the only way to get it to play automatically is to embed it in a tweet like this: https://twitter.com/modeless/status/1263222139840167936
Did anyone here start learning PHP in 2020? How were you introduced to PHP?
Are there any good resources to start with?

When I was introduced to PHP everything was still in a single file, PHP, HTML, JS, CSS.

It's also possible to run a web browser in a docker container which can be interacted with on the host OS. This avoids the permissions issues with solutions like firejail:

You use the language to define the configuration, packages, and etc. NixOS isn't so much an OS configured by a package manager as much as it is an OS + package manager that you can configure with the Nix language.

Then there is also lot of tooling to hid all of the symlink magic. It is very deep rabbit hole. Most of the quick touch examples will basically look like magic.
Oh, Mac OS had oodles of these. Even Mac OS X had a bunch of "Haxies" because it would load plugins into every process for a while. These days you need to turn off a bunch of security features to make it work in general.
More important than viable, for some people it actually is vital. It is a very, very important note. For some people, psychiatric support is not a pill to alleviate some pain, it is more like a pacemaker: it's the difference between life and death.

It can be the difference between a completely clogged brain coupled with suicide attempts (where no amount of tentative discussions with specialists resonates, if the person even has the energy to get out of bed at all), and having the energy to learn and use the therapeutic tools for well-being.

I'm glad to see that CBT has been an interesting tool for you by the way, and there's a lot of growth around CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, that is fantastic for the improvement of mental health nowadays.
Most of sales are like that. The very very small minority is about actually helping people. Then, a lot of people are about manipulating and stretching truth just slightly beyond breaking point. The rest straight lies.
I'll grant you some things.

1. The mainstream news sources have messed up lots of times. (I would argue that their success rate is very high, though)

2. The mainstream news are largely ad-supported and therefore their entire line of work is a bit of a minefield of conflicts of interest.

That said...

They are not perfect, but comparing them to a disinformation merchant like Alex Jones is an absolute farce.

Stories at "real" news organizations are vetted by multiple members of the staff. They make corrections. This cannot be said of wack jobs like Alex Jones. They are not even in the same league in terms of good-faith effort to get things right.

Bound by whom? Where is this obligation written?
Who holds them to it? What are the consequences
if they break it?

One, institutions like the NYT and WSJ bank on their reputation as purveyors of the truth and as institutions with rigorous reporting standards. They rely on that in ways that Alex Jones does not. He relies upon being shocking and edgy.

Two -- and perhaps more tangibly -- traditionally in mainstream media, reporters caught fabricating stories or otherwise being unethical essentially forfeited their careers.

You can see both of those factors at work in the story of Jayson Blair, a reporter who was caught fabricating stories for the NYT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Blair#Later_career

https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/11/us/correcting-the-record-...

Yes, the NYT was duped. Embarrassingly. But the system worked. They conducted a pretty intense internal investigation to catch the guy. They caught him. They set the record straight. They admitted they screwed up. In that one instance they displayed more journalistic integrity than you'd see from Alex Jones in a lifetime.

And what happened to Jayson Blair? As I said above, his journalism career was over.

You can point out problems with "traditional" news organizations, and I'll agree with many of them, and they are still miles better than conspiracy hacks with zero journalistic scruples.
Twitter and Snapchat are both “only” worth around $25B each

Hi, one of the engineers who created dotscience here. Customers didn't insist on open sourcing anything, we did have some open source components but I don't think they cared about that :) Regarding tracking usage - usually it was just many conversations with customers and having them on our Slack channel. Solutions engineering - mostly development team would be helping with writing anything specific that they need.
On the SaaS side we had a lot more analytics, used segment, intercom and internal "audit events" to better understand what's happening.
> Own modifications to what?

To the packages. e.g. I believe Ubuntu modifies Python so that sudo pip install uses /usr/local instead of /usr. Lots of other patches and backports I'm not necessarily aware of. That's basically what makes Ubuntu Ubuntu, otherwise it'd be more like Arch. So how does Nix deal with this? Do you get the value-add from your distro or do you basically end up with pseudo-Arch wherever you start?
I've worked with non-geeks for many years and the best results were achieved with Sharepoint or O365. The versioning system it's simpler for them than GIT; it has a lot of missings but has great support on the clients' apps, specially MSWord and the revision and merge features.

There's a variant to use TortoiseGit as a git desktop client (only Windows) versioning directly office documents because of that one pops up the resolution of the conflicts directly with the office apps.

There're some folks followed me to markdown-git using desktop clients like Typora and Gitbook (editor and other services), but it's not suitable for everyone.

I do believe in taking virtually everything with a grain of salt these days.

That said, merely disabling export (as opposed to shutting down the website entirely) sounds like an incredibly stupid way to try to censor something, even by the standards of bureaucratic ineptitude. If there were any real smoke there, one could just send a few dumps to interested journalists, etc.

And as we've been seeing, a lot of CV data has been pretty crappy, especially the initial cuts. The idea that they were trying to present valid statistics doesn't really seem that far-fetched.
No.

There are facts that are real.
Fertility, health, and age of parents.

You can scream, get angry.
But still are facts.

The ideas you had once in the '20s may not be the ideas you will get on 30's and '40s.

And that is ok.

But as I said.

What If 1/3 of what I said is true?

I am not saying every body has to have kids.

But I find myself having more females friends that "lost the train" and are bitter.

It is no fun when you know someone that has all the skills and qualities to be an excellent mother realize she can't anymore.

I don't feel happy to be "right" about it.

My sadness is what makes me expose this even with a cost so someone else may benefit.
I use Roll20, a popular web app for playing tabletop games with others over the internet. It doesn't work in Firefox or Safari; it's the only reason I keep Chromium on my machine.
It's kind of a mess.

Nix is a collection of tools and systems that together form a highly reproducible build system.

Nix is also a declarative, largely pure and lazy programming language that you use to design and specify the different build outputs for the Nix build system.

Nixpkgs is, more or less, the only project written using Nix (and a lot of shell). It's a collection of many thousands of "derivations", many of the things you'd expect to be able to fetch from brew or apt. Each derivation encodes the steps to use Nix (the build system) to construct that output.

NixOS is a Linux distribution built atop Nix, Nix, and Nixpkgs. The basic claim to fame here is "totally declarative system setup" where you write all of the configuration for your system in Nix, using Nixpkgs and some other NixOS specific tooling and libraries, and then "build" the entire system with high repeatability.

Then there are a few other related projects such as Hydra (a CI server and binary cache builder—most of the time you don't build with Nix, just download the proper thing from the cache) and NixOps (an extension to NixOS which provisions whole fleets of servers declaratively).

Finally, you don't need to run NixOS in order to benefit from Nix. Nix and Nixpkgs are (largely) compatible with MacOS and Linux. That means you can install Nix onto your existing MacOS or Linux system and use it a lot like you'd use brew or apt. That said, the premiere Nix experience is always NixOS.
I don't see how this is a straw man. He's been banned from all major social media platforms, for life, without due process.

> That's a choice you've made...

No, not really. Because my argument (perhaps wrongly) focused on Google, but it's still true that I have to choose a major near-monopoly corporation to do email, mobile, social media, telephone service, cloud, etc...

There are no alternatives. Have you ever tried to stand up your own email server? You can't. Google won't even relay the emails.
Screen readers should not require reading (or modifying!!) a process's memory; platform UI toolkits make this information available programmatically.
I'm largely with you, although maybe they're thinking of YouTube in the scene that it has stuck around for a while.

For guardian-agent to live up to its security claims, it needs to correctly deny requests on the "unhappy path." So yeah, that's a primary goal.

As far as we know it lives up to that. Requests are locked to (a) [identity of requesting machine] because their origin is tagged by the local (trusted) code, which got to see the requesting machine's public key when it connected. They're locked to (b) [remote machine] by having the local code see the remote machine's public key. And they're locked to (c) [command] by having the local code be the one to send the command and then "no-more-sessions" and get confirmation before handing over control to the requesting machine.
This is the correct answer, both Office 365 and SharePoint natively version documents. It is the closest built-in thing you will get to Git for Office
Be careful with searches that have the “n” word. I once saw a picture of a bear that had lost its hair due to a skin problem and wanted to show it to a colleague. So I searched for “naked bear” which didn’t end well.
Some operating systems do not allow you to do this even if you are root.
EA has open sourced tons of their internal libraries which are "more valuable than their products from a community benefit perspective." Just take a look at their GitHub. What "platform" of theirs has MSFT open sourced? Which of those were an important platform of MSFT. EA is atleast releasing something which made them money as open source.

For a fun side project, I decided to use Google Sheets as a database that would be easily editable by the general public (non-developers).

It is currently populating data for a crowdsourced map of San Francisco Bay Area third-wave coffee roasters:

https://hdehal.github.io/coffee-maps

I was able to quickly get the app created in React, and while Google Sheets has extensive API docs (https://developers.google.com/sheets/api), I found it far easier to use the simplified Node.js wrapper from https://github.com/theoephraim/node-google-spreadsheet

On occasion, I'll get a friendly "request for access" with someone adding a roaster to the list (and the map gets populated automatically), so it's fairly hands-off.

Gamedev #4: Benefits of full-stack Rust
> has a track record of jumping from platform to platform

do they really though? It honestly seems like particular brands are very sticky with internet demographics, not just young people.

IIRC there even is more brand loyalty among ecommerce than there is among physical brick and mortar stores.

You can look at something like Whatsapp as well. There have been lots of privacy concerns after the acquisition by Facebook but the number of people who actually switch to say, Signal is very low. There are huge network effects to these social media / communications platforms, and TikTok already has 1.5 billion users worldwide.
Like in JavaScript, just don't use ==. It's broken but you don't have to use it.

In C you can write i[t] instead of t[i], but don't do it.

I guess it's true for many languages. These funny features don't prevent you from writing good code, especially if you enforce some coding styles that will catch any unintended use of these features.

Blame PHP for what you can't do with it, or for things you don't like but are forced to do. For instance I like PHP but I cannot type things the way I'd like. It's getting better though.

I don't like the inconsistencies in the function names of the standard library but the functions are often straightforward and very simple to use. And, above all, the doc is good. These aspects mean I don't waste time figuring out how to do simple things because of a complex interface involving many classes, despite the inconsistencies.

I also don't like the dollar notation for variables but that's a matter of taste, nor the syntax for namespaces, nor the implicit declaration of variables (like in Python by the way).
I used this guide last week, it worked and now we play on TheGreatEscape where there are ~20-40 players nightly.

I use it as a great way to share data from ad-hoc queries, and often times can drive a quick workflow without having to build out a full set of screens in our line of business app.

On a personal level, despite many attempts to find a perfect app, my relatively simple set of budgeting spreadsheets is still the best solution I've ever come up with.

Not Google Sheets, but the president of our company has been able to build out a new line of business app using Excel in a few weeks, something that would have taken use several months or more using our traditional development approaches (it will eventually be moved there for robustness, but using spreadsheets as a prototyping tool and letting those who understand the business hammer out the logic, before handing off to developers, is a great approach. A working spreadsheet is definitely the best requirements doc in the world)
Even if Docker doesn't really care about this, the DockerFiles themselves can also describe a reproducible process, and they are certainly "incremental" due to caching (not sure of what you mean by "incremental"). Does nix power merit such a big compromise against simplicity and readability?
Being banned from every bar and restaurant in the world for something he said? Have you ever heard of such a thing? It would be ludicrous.

For every example you can find me of a website that doesn't support safari I could find 10 that make exceptions to do so. The point isn't that nobody does it, it's just that most companies who want to make money from the general population (aka most of them) have to.

Roll20 is also such a niche thing already it's not really a fair example. People who want to use roll20 will use another browser because they want to play dnd with their friends. Most stores don't have that social aspect.

It would seem strange that ISO standards cannot refer to countries, so I'm guessing this is something specific to Iran?

Not a Nix user, but my understanding is that it's a standalone package manager with its own repositories. On a non-Nix distro, installing a package with Nix is akin to installing a Python module with pip, instead of the distro's package manager. It would not be managed at all by the distro's package manager. On NixOS, Nix is the distro's package manager.

The article you linked is a truly horrifying thought.

I wonder though if a change like this would reduce those cases in the long term though. If there are more organs available, wouldn't there be less pressure to harvest from any particular person?

It was well known that at the JEDI bidding, GCP's offering is vastly behind MSFT and AWS.

Note that that does not necessary contradict the original decision to withdraw based on conflicting AI principle.

Edit:

A few things GCP is behind at the time:

* Very weak support team

* Very weak sales team

* Very weak past track record

* Very poor market recognition

* Very limited experience in government contracting

Offering is not just technical features. A product is a combination of a lot of things, and technical items are usually the less critical ones.
You mean a walk-in kind of store? I feel that this lends itself more to billboard ads and mail flyers. What do you want me on your site for?

Again, I don't want my thought processes hijacked, so the only acceptable context would be me searching for general stores or things that you carry, which I usually.. don't. If I'm looking at a map it is a good fit as well.

On the other hand, I'd really like a searchable inventory of all city stores, even in general terms. Sometimes it's not even clear which store might carry some obscure item and I'm left to guess and check all possibilities in person, often in vain.
This is hollow logic.

I didn't say that.

I did say it was counterproductive. Making a career out of selling means you're going to need repeat customers, and customers don't return when they realize they were hoodwinked.

People who sell me what I want make a lot of money off of me because I keep coming back for more.
The headline is the article. It's big news because of all the talk about herd immunity before the summer in Stockholm is now finished.
VLSI manufacturing makes chips, made of transistors. It does not sell end products. The end products are a concept that their clients care about, not them. The same way a tree farmer does not spend his days thinking about toilet paper, even though that's what he is actually helping create. Instead, he thinks about trees, and how to best grow them.

Make no mistake, he knew he worked on the production of CPUs and memories, it was just not his focus. Also, he certainly cared about switching time, but his observation was about transistor count, not switching time.
Step 1) Put a Linux Kernel on Windows as a separate subsystem

Step 2) Port all APIs to this Kernel

Step 3) Switch over to Linux as the main kernel and make the windows kernel a a Linux sub system to support legacy win32 apps.

Microsoft moves to a Linux based system it offers for free and is only used for integration and support of it’s services.
