The opt-out does not exist for Home and Pro users. Only Windows 10 Enterprise can completely disable the telemetry engine. Unless you take extra steps (firewall rules, network-level blocking, etc.) Microsoft will get a ping every time a new device is plugged in and there's no way to disable that for the common user.

I used to accept most telemetry popups from Microsoft before they became opt-out, but in the scheme MS has currently set up, I don't think MS let their customers make an informed choice about their data collection. For that reason, I oppose it as much as I can.

You can use Remote Schemas in Hasura to combine multiple API's, and Remote Joins to join relational data across data sources:

https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/remote-schemas/ind...

https://hasura.io/blog/remote-joins-a-graphql-api-to-join-da...

If you need to convert your API's into a GraphQL first, you can wrap the endpoints with resolvers yourself, or use automated tooling:

IIRC radar detectors were illegal in Washington in those days (for obvious reasons). Not sure if they are still.

For these kinds of stops, where they were waiting on side roads for you drive by, a radar detector might not even help much ?

I did have friends with detectors for highway driving, so your suggestion is solid. I wish cars had them as options like leather seats :-)

The best ssd in that test lasted for writes ~1000x its capacity. Without a good wear-leveling SSD controller, you would see data loss in a day or two on e.g. log files. A good controller will never be irrelevant.
For the slowly delivered part, you can turn up the playback speed. I found 2x speed fairly comfortable (I occasionally turn up playback speed but normally not above 1.5x).
No, I'm referring very specifically to things like the British Army "Yellow Card" system: http://mikeb302000.blogspot.com/2011/12/rules-of-engagement.... / http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/383102.stm

Having the British Army fire on and kill civilians in Northern Ireland was extremely controversial. Several incidents resulted in murder trials. Some of this is still going on. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-49721166

> Even "peacekeeping" forces are going to return fire if fired upon.

My point is that there have been lots of places in the 20th century where troops have been specifically ordered not to do that without senior authorisation, because of the potential political impact of an escalation.

Or at the very least carefully identify who they are going to be shooting at, and provide a warning, rather than firing blindly into residential buildings.
Thanks, I just needed a teeny tiny push for me to close it too. One less thing to think about it.
True. I'm not sure whether that makes it worse or better.
The hack is probably removing even the 'Security' low-level telemetry. Which yes, would hurt users.

Edit: if you don't feel like reading the link, the 'security' level is the minimum required for updates.

> More on topic, I find it a bit disheartening that people are discouraged from picking a niche library and are instead supposed to look at GitHub's star system.

Just because it's disheartening doesn't mean it's unwise.

> So if it's not on GitHub or if my users don't star it enough, you shouldn't consider it for use in production?

If it's big enough to be popular and not be on Github, that's a good sign. If it's not that popular and refuses to be (also) on Github, that's a really bad sign.

> Shouldn't the documentation, code quality, open issues / maintainer responsiveness to issues, etc. speak for itself?

No, because popularity adds value well beyond those things. It tells you that other people have found that the piece of tech is "good enough". They've already run into issues for you, so that you don't have to. They've already trained on it so you don't have to train. Popular projects are made better just by being popular, which is self-reinforcing.

Of course that means sometimes ill-conceived technology (like HTML/CSS/Javascript) wins out over contenders that are better "on paper".
My guess (purely a guess though) is that this is a good proportion of the platforms AWS use internally, and that this service will expand to other ecosystems less used internally in response to customer demand.
It seems a ton of people took issue with that statement, meaning it wasn’t obvious at all.
Good question. Proned patients are too sick to survive at home. As soon as the roll onto their back or sit upright they start suffocating and must work for their breath. Because of this they need help caring for themselves. They also are at risk of becoming much worse and needing more oxygen.

UNESCO World Heritage sites are created when their host country submits a nomination. If the host country doesn't have the resources to submit that nomination and show that it's capable of preserving the site, it doesn't get added to the registry.

The fact that wealthier countries have more resources to put towards preservation and so nominate of their own UNESCO sites is big problem with the whole system. The Eurocentric bias of the UNESCO committee's selection of which sites actually make it onto the list is another one that's been debated for a while.

Shapez.io – An open source base building game inspired by Factorio
LinkedIn is a very strange place to me.

I’m there, but like the author I never really bother with it. Maybe every year or two I’ll check it’s up-to-date with work history but that’s about it.

I get a lot of calls from recruiters. I can only assume they’re cold-calling a list from linked in search results and I can’t think of a single incidence where the call has lead to anything.

The bizarre part is that I know several people on LinkedIn and Facebook (to be fair I haven’t signed in on Facebook either for about two years for lack of interest - if I haven’t bothered to call you in the last three years then I really don’t care what you’re eating for lunch these days).

On Facebook people post cat memes and talk about things they’re genuinely interested in, like how Janet’s friend Steve caught coronavirus from a telecom mast.

On LinkedIn the same people’s feeds are repost after repost of how they’re living their most Agile Scrum Synergy-driven Goal-oriented life.

As best I can tell, it’s a website for sucking up to employers you might some day have or hope to impress. Every post reads like the applicant side of a job interview where no-one even asked a question. Maybe it’s just me, and I don’t get it, but I just have better things to do with my time.

Blacklist is not a racist word
Uh...that was happening in Seattle every night.

That's what led to this. There was night after night after night of police using flashbangs, teargas, and mace on mostly peaceful protests.

It was extremely unpopular with both the protestors and the local residents. There have been many calls for the mayor to resign over the repeated use of force.

So the police finally stopped with the violence. They just...left. They abandoned the East Precinct, expecting the protestors to burn it down.

The protestors decided not to burn it down, and instead set up an occupy style movement on the streets outside the police station.

But, yes. They definitely tried rubber bullets, teargas and mace first.

Yes that's an absolutely sound assumption when it comes to web development. The vast majority of resources are written by people that fall into the exact category stupidcar described, with superficial knowledge of the libraries they're using. If anything, Googling gets you further from the simple, clean solution a lot of the time unless you're already experienced and can sift through the bad sources of information.
Product positioning strategies you should focus on in 2020
There are automagic GraphQL layers that sort-of make sense to me, since at least they remove the biggest pain points. But AFAIK they're all single-database.

Actually stitching together multiple services or DBs with it manually seems like it'd be a hellish experience that'd end in a massive data breech or repeated accidental dataloss + restore-from-backup. Or else valid GraphQL going to such a system would be so restricted that the benefit over just using REST (or whatever) is zero.
Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of them. Have sent them an email.
There's a whole list of assumptions you are making though that likely don't apply.

1. There actually is other material available from the author to buy. If there isn't, it's simply a loss.
2. If there is other material by the author, you have to assume the reader was not going to read any of the author's material without having access to the free book first.
2. If additional material exists, and the person would have never engaged with the authors work without a free "trial" of their work, less than 100% of people who access the free material will go on to buy additional material. Some because they are uninterested, some because they don't want to or can't purchase it for the same reason they couldn't purchase the original. In the former case, thats a net loss. In the latter, its a wash.
3. Even if there is additional material to buy, and even if the reader only becomes interested in the author's work through the free book, and even if the reader is inspired to go out and buy it after reading it, it only offsets the original lost revenue of the first, free book (assuming they are priced similarly). So its only if a reader is inspired to go out and buy at least 2 more works by the author that they would actually become a net positive for the publisher/author.

Clearly the number of people accessing the free material who would actually be a net positive for the author/publisher is quite small, and the free book in general would almost certainly be a net negative. You can do all the mental gymnastics you want, but at the end of the day, its still theft. People will argue that publishers are all rich and so we shouldn't care, but thats a different argument, and doesn't apply to the majority of authors who don't actually make that much money.
Thank you very much! You are so right about that.

That collection should stand above Copyrights and IP.

The biggest pitfall is saving and restoring the app state when the configuration changes or the process is killed. Your app runs into UX problems and at one instance a crash, when the app is restored after the process has been killed.

In my opinion, this is probably the most important chapter in the android developer guide:
https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/ac...

When a user puts the app in the background, the app is at risk of being closed. Who knows, maybe someone gets a call in the middle of an invoice creation. Or someone wants to check an email from a customer again.

> I used a class to initiate my data classes and share them between different activities instead of using the intent to share data.

The problem here is, that the data class gets lost if you only keep it in memory without persisting it. The good thing about intent data is, that the intent data is stored even between process kills.

A good way to test this behavior is to go into the android developer settings and set "Background process limit" to "No background processes".

>> The roof part of Tesla solar roof should presumably last a long time.

Ya, but people aren't buying a tesla roof for the roof part. It is the solar part that matters. Roofs move, they swell and shift with the seasons. Over 25 years at least some of those thousands of connectors between solar tiles will have degraded and/or disconnected, leaving entire sections/rows of tiles disconnected. That is why, when you need to make thousands of connections in an electrical project meant to last many years, manual soldering is still the preferred tactic.

Like you, I suspect there are substantial bulk discounts available if you're using tens of millions of dollars worth of these.

I don't know how much less, but if you were to do fully pre-emptible at this scale I wouldn't be surprised if you could get it down to one-tenth the price. I wouldn't suspect the same of other more generic resources like CPUs that have a much lower price point to begin with, but the TPU sticker price seems very high with lots of headroom.

I have done the same and it totally saved my ass on legacy code that I was tasked with extending or fixing.

I just pumped the output of dot to a static web page.
It was awesome.

Also, I rendered the entire graph as a single page, and started printing it tiled to multiple 8.5x11 sheets. One of the women I worked with that did all our document versioning and tracking saw me taping the sheets together, and asked me for a copy of the document. An hour later she walked into my office with a single page print from a 42" plotter. That hung like artwork on my office wall for about eight years.

She was a wonderful soul for that. And the print was beautiful.

If he'd mounted his Pis' GPIO parallel to the ground, heatsink fans perpendicular to it, he would have found his missing convection with or without a heatsink.

I don't see GraphQL as an ORM type solution, I see it more like a replacement for REST.
Essentially (de facto): yes.

Generally I like to remind people of an infamous quote, from a truly nasty period at the beginning of the last century. Because I believe it illustrates the true nature of this fact you pointed out:

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”
― Benito Mussolini

It is possible that what (eventually) will go down in the history books regarding the USA, might be how astonishingly effective the decades upon decades of positive propaganda have blinded/confused/divided it's own citizens from noticing the true nature of the machinery that runs the country (and has done so, maybe even ever since WW2).
