To be consistent with me I’d need both of the common a’s, whatever they’re individually called

I think it’s because I like the curly-top “a” but habitually do the cursive-friendly “a”

edit: speaking of cursive friendly a’s I was doing a thing when carrying a paper note book for a few months, not too long ago, where’d I’d ask a friend or relative or maybe a stranger to write a-z in lowercase cursive. I probably collected 50+ of these

It collected both skilled and struggling to recall contributions. Certainly the oldest had the sleekest cursive

Little other things popped up, like the correct “b” and an incorrect “b” was fairly common to see
Given that, I'm curious to know if anything has changed in the last five years, or if the article still accurately describes police training today. I would guess that it does.
Two possibilities now since your last hypothesis was proven wrong with a simple git blame?

But sure, maybe the CTO/co-founder went rouge, lol.

What's the difference at that point? Both are leaders/founders of the company.

Either way, I don't want to use a browser that either someone is implementing affiliate links in the omnibar because they were stupid, or because they want $$$$.

The traffic and 99% of the browser code isn't theirs, why do they deserve affiliate money?

Btw there's a difference between being charitable and being naïve. It's obvious this was intentional.

What really happened was the CEO and the CTO sat down with these crypto companies and sketched this deal out to the T.

They hijacked the search terms "btc", "ltc", "bnb", etc. and herded users to those sites for a fee.

Could you imagine your scenario though? The CEO just woke up and was like WHOA where'd all this money come from, so the CTO says well I accidently added too many affiliate links, but the CEO was like ehhh keep it like that for a few months until people make a big deal about it, then I'll act surprised and remove it.
Extending this comment, before motors it was routine to have to wait for favourable winds, especially in harbours and confined waterways. Here's the famous navigator James Cook setting out from London on his second voyage:

"I sailed from Deptford, April 9th, 1772, but got no farther than Woolwich, where I was detained by easterly winds till the 23d, when the ship fell down to Long Reach, and the next day was joined by the Adventure. Here both ships received on board their powder, guns, gunners' stores, and marines."

[http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks/e00044.html]

So the "Resolution" managed about 8km on the day of departure from the London naval dockyard, then remained anchored in the river for 13 days waiting for the wind to change direction, finally managing 16km to the victualling dock.
Looks like the good ol' EU has to step in again and tell Apple, Huawei, Google and co to stop their bullshit, just like they did before mini-USB was forced to become the norm.

The Weaponization of Diversity
I learned to touch type in 1986 on a manual typewriter in secondary school. I knew I was going to work with computers and figured touch typing would be a worthwhile skill. I was the only male in the class and copped shit from my peers for taking the subject as everyone else perceived it as a class for women looking to go into secretarial work. To this day I still think it is the best thing I learned at school.
I do find it odd, looking back at the short history of the world dealing with covid, that there has been no (that I'm aware of) institutional strategy in combating a "novel" virus with a "novel" therapy (ie the off-label use of existing pharmaceuticals) and the MSM is and has been poised to attack that strategy and the small-scale, uncoordinated efforts when they discover them happening.

If Covid-19 were a movie, the hero would have stumbled across a clever combination of generic drugs that would turn the tide of global death. But here in reality, any such efforts are vilified and attacked for no coherent (but seemingly organized) reason.
This is what I had in mind as well. The difficulty ramps up quickly! I just had to do a couple of these and felt confident enough to start applying to jobs.
So it is often a numbers game. How much is your rent? Could you get a house you like for the same money? In my case the last time I rented, the rent was nearly equal to a house payment but was almost half the size. The apartment was TOO small. But with a house you have other costs - repairs - which are not seen with the apartment.

A common argument is at least you are not throwing your money away. Well some usually is as it goes to interest and taxes. As such I recommend you get a serious spreadsheet out and compare the numbers. In all likelihood, if you go for a house the size of your apartment it will be a major gain to buy.

Two warnings:

1) a house kind of ties you to a location. In an apartment you can move to Brisbane or Hobart easily.

2) realtors try to over sell you. Decide exactly what your limit is. Make it a hard limit. One cent over is definitely too much. And hold to it. Realtors seem to use some odd logic to get you into a housing crisis. And it always makes good sense at the time. Or only defense to their spurious logic is to have a fixed limit - I would say if it is even a penny more then I would not be able to sleep at night with worry.
Companies would then have to maintain the drivers themselves. If I remember correctly, the Linux kernel gets over 20 patches per hour. They have to pay developers to maintain the out-of-tree drivers or get left behind.

This is one reason why so many mobile devices run ancient kernels which can't be updated. They stopped maintaining the out-of-tree drivers so people remain permanently stuck on the latest version that still works.
What's the positive cases per test rate? I'm assuming that is going up, which is bad.

The one admittedly lagging indicator that I'm watching is hospitalized cases.

So far that's ok, and ideally you could possibly have an increase in positive cases throughout a population without more hospitalizations if high risk people isolate themselves. But yeah, hope it doesn't go sideways.
Yes, so isn't it much easier for you to quickly identify a call as likely spam if it is from the "other state"? :)
Sound disturbances can cause health problems. Imagine living next to noisy neighbors and how that would affect you long term.
Completely agree here. I think subscribtions are bad for customers, AND THE DEVELOPERS too. Basically companies cut down on R&D instead of pushing on R&D to gain new upgrade and customers fees.

I bought GraphicConverter [1] a zillion years ago, and I just upgraded to their v11, and so I paid them probably more than I've ever paid any other software -- BUT, they always come up with a list of improvement 5 pages long, and I've been using that stuff on/off for 20+ years.

I have no problems pushing money their way, I know where that money is going ultimately. It certainly doesn't go in shareholder or marketing drone's pocket.

I'd be happy to accept the return if it was within reason, but this claim seem to be outrageous, and more on Apple than eBay as why they claim their batteries can last for 10 hours.

I feel I'd be obliged to accept the return but my fear is getting back a damaged or beyond laptop, and all in all its just an unpleasant experience
They'd have to be massively overbuilt to provide enough power for ADS. If there's any evidence of that, I'll be worried.

Just to be clear about your argument here - you are suggesting that Facebook changing its recommendation algorithm to not suggest that people join groups run by white supremacist paramilitaries advocating for a second civil war is akin to systemic racism?

I think Apple still get revenue from Google (and probably Bing?) searches.

Could be wrong but I thought I remember details about Google paying Apple for this. But it was years ago I last seen it

Edit: quick search for “safari google search revenue” got me a few links from prior years about Google paying to be the default search engine. Last mention was 2019 so who knows how long that contract is or whatever
I’ve amassed quite a collection of charging-only Type-C to Type-C cables over the years. People usually don’t realize they have such cables because they typically come alongside a charger, so people only ever attempt to charge devices with them.

Grab a USB-C to USB-C cable that came with a phone or similar device and was intended for use with a USB-PD charger and give it a test. You might get USB 2.0 speeds if you’re lucky, but you’re unlikely to see anything beyond that.
REPEAT seems superfluous as only ENDWHILE is needed to end the loop. And, oh yes who forgot to decrement nums?

You've done enough. People who have said "All lives matter" on their FB pages have been fired from their jobs this week. This is what counts as "fascism" now.
There are definitely less protections for the seller. Plus, guess what, eBay and PayPal keep the fees afterwards!

I’ve had my own similar situation recently. Very frustrating. The customer service rep disconnected on purpose. Useless waste of time.

They theoretically could do things to drive traffic. For example, if they surface the domain sooner than they might surface other domains, or change the way the URL is displayed.

Eg. User types "B" and whilst "bbc.co.uk" might be very popular, Brave could instead surface the less popular "binance.com" ahead of BBC, and potentially give it a different visual treatment, too.

I don't use Brave, so I'm not sure whether they do either of these things, though.
Safari is also mainstream because you have no choice but to use it on iOS. Even if you manually install another browser (which can't be made default), you're still using the underlying Safari engine.
yeah the culture is all based on promotions.. and you get them by launching something new, not by maintaining or improving existing systems. hence what you said
There was a doctor up North who kept confusing my gmail address for his own. I would frequently get invited to speak at medical conferences, invited to weddings, stock tips. Regular sort of thing. I made generally polite requests to keep this at bay, and for the most part it took care of it until the next time.

I did finally lay waste to the problem when he decided that the prepaid Verizon phone he set up for his mistress needed to be associated with my account.

On the tooling side, I think Steve Yegge's infamous and very entertaining platform rant from 2011 nails it: https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611 tl;dr Google doesn't have the platform mentality in its culture, unlike Amazon and MS.

If you accept returns, people will use your listing as a dirt cheap rental service. This problem is much more pronounced for goods that are desirable to rent, of course.

Even if a listing says "No Returns" eBay allows returns for SINAD (significantly not-as-described).

I'm _fine_ with snaps.

As long as they are limited to applications (i.e. not OS components) and look reasonably like normal applications.

Why? Because you can't ask developers to package their apps for 100+ distros. And they let us run latest versions of apps on an otherwise stable/old OS.
No, I tried probably for too long and the stress and workload was too much, I still have a bit of PTSD from it to be honest. B2C space with 7 day per week customer support, over 100k DAU. Only way to stay solo would have been to turn away sign ups or something like that.
> my fear is getting back a damaged or beyond laptop, and all in all its just an unpleasant experience

Completely understand. Just the stress of the thought that you may get back a damaged item makes it not worth it.

Hopefully it will be OK! Best of luck!
You're free to disagree with the advice given here but don't turn this into personal attacks.
I don't think so. Is Facebook's offering supposed to do that?
I’d rather be able to charge my devices slowly than not at all. To be honest, I really don’t care about fast charging. I’m carrying around battery packs either way.
The licensing and distribution model for open source make it impossible to simply sell your open source product (i.e. you don't want to sell support, charge for documentation, create a SaaS, or create tiers of closed source and open source - you just want to sell your open source product direct to customers).

An alternative option is 'source available' - give your customers access to your product source code and permission to modify the code to meet their needs but without right to distribute the product. Lots of open source developers dislike this model, but it's up to you to make up your own mind.

I wrote a bit a bit more on this topic in the following recent discussion on HN about on how to make a living with open source. There lots of comments and differences in opinions. Worth a read:

What exactly is the “fascism” that we’re worried about spreading?
My side project at the moment is day/swing trading. I started sometime in early March when I pulled my money out from the stock market and cashed in on some capital gains. Things went to hell shortly after that but I was safe waiting in cash waiting to buy back in.

Because I was sitting on about 220k in cash I decided to look into other ways to put my money to use. I realized I could probably buy massive positions in large cap stocks and scalp small 20 to 50 cents moves that happen all the time and make about $100-$300 on each trade fairly quickly.

What has also helped kicked this off for me was 0 commissions on trades. Before I would have to pay like 7 bucks per trade and even though I can still profit it’s amazing how that small cost each time created resistance in my mind.

Since March, I’ve had $12540 in winning trades and -$4476 in losses, for a total profit of $8063.77, however, probably like 90% of that has been made in the past month alone since I started out cautiously with small trades to see how my win/loss ratio was, and in the past week alone I made a $2620 profit. I am now making bigger trades with $100k+ size positions. On top of that, I’ve already reinvested my $220k cash into long term holdings so I borrow that $100k from my broker (I only have to pay interest if I hold overnight which I never do), this gives me the best of both worlds.

To be honest it all seems too easy. If I just make about $400 dollars profit a day, which is like maybe 2 or 3 successful trades, 5 days a week, that’s $2000k a week, about $96k a year, for something that only takes an hour of my time (I only focus on the first hour the market opens)

For now, I just keep reinvesting these profits into buying more stocks and as my account builds more capital I’ll feel comfortable gradually increasing my position size for day trades to make either quicker more successful trades off of smaller spreads or more profitable ones with the same size spread. We’ll see.

I don’t talk about this because no one would believe it and all the advice I find out there is stuff like “it works until it doesn’t” or “you’ll lose it all...” etc. Fuck it. When I die put my money in the grave.
Wouldn't be surprised if they use it in search rankings, chances are they already do. And not being on Google effectively == dead. They already take into account page load speed (which discriminates against complex but useful & good web apps) and iirc also whether you have AMP.
I respect your need to moderate discussions.

But there’s an effort to redefine racism to include any policy that acknowledges race, as opposed to the normal definition that holds a policy is racist if it promotes the superiority of one race over another.

Semantic arguments are bad when they obscure and distract from the central point. But they are good when the distinction at issue is important to the issue at hand. In this case, the distinction is critical. In a world where widespread racism exists, but policies are not allowed to acknowledge race, then policy cannot address racism, thus it continues.

So they are going from 700$ for perpetual license to 300$ per year subscription. How on earth are they framing it as a net benefit for their customers?
Clear branding would help with a lot of it. E.g. mark dumb cables that only do charging as USB-PWR while full feature cables are USB 50 or USB 100, for example, depending on data rate.

I'm always confused by the suggestion that education is some sort of panacea for totalitarian ideology.

Someone who is racist or fascist by definition rejects the notion that justice ought to be applied equally and just about anything else that you would likely consider moral or proper.

And fascism also is not a function of wealth inequality. Fascism has historically grown out of the middle-class. Seymour Martin Lipset identified fascism as "Extremismus der Mitte" in Germany. It's well at home in the petite bourgeoisie or in the US I guess you'd say the suburban middle class.

This was a cool thing to try when PostScript became more common, the release of the Apple LaserWriter printer [0]. I made a Type 1 font kind of like my handwriting.

USB-C on a USB device(UFP-only) system is wonderful. It's quite simple--two resistors--that gets you 5V at 900mA and USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbps). Or, if you'd like 5V at 1.5A or 3.0A--you generally need a very small and simple chip to handle the CC monitoring.

That's it.

The problem starts occurring when people want to do a zillion things on the port--charge their phone, charge a device, communicate with a device, serve as a device, transfer at Gbps rates, etc.

Remember OTG--oh, yeah, nobody does because it worked like crap. USB-C actually did what OTG was trying to do.

And, the problem mostly isn't USB-C, it's manufacturers:

> All the new port has done is push some components out of the laptop and onto the other end of the cable.

Exactly. And it's the reason I STILL can't get a useful USB-C hub.

Samsung could have avoided the problem with PPS with <$10 of components, instead they pushed those out. Samsung doesn't even supply the "good" charger by default with their device. Don't complain about USB-C because the manufacturers are doing weird things with it to cheapen their bill of materials.

> USB-C audio is basically dead as Bluetooth takes over.

Until latency matters. Then suddenly Bluetooth is a pile of suck. If you're watching a video (the device can delay the video to match latency) or listening to music, fine.

If you're watching something live or you are filming something live, then the latency is maddening.

And that doesn't even start to deal with people who want some sort of audio app. There is a reason why "rhythm" games simply don't exist on mobile.

Search isolcpus, nohz_full, and rcu_nocbs. Process pinning & isolation from other processes is the first step; keeping kernel interruptions out is the hard part. Kernel people generally think anything they do is implicitly more important than every single thing you do.

eBPF and kTLS tend to involve the kernel in your business. But, eBPF can put code directly on certain NICs (e.g. Netronome), writing directly to user process memory. Then there is no need to pin or isolate, because the action is on the NIC, out of reach.
