That was a direct reply to the “No matter what operating system you're on” quote. The fact that there are some operating systems that have issues doesn’t make it true that all do.

So this payment feature that Whatsapp is rolling out works internationally? Even when WeChat launched payment in HK market, they had to go with a separate wallet for HK transactions.

My point is that allowing payments within a single market is a pretty old feature and Whatsapp is late to the party.
Okay, tracked down this[0], which is probably what you were talking about(?), and what the actual fuck is wrong with that rendering engine? You render a Apx horizontal line, Bpx of space, a second Apx line, Bpx of space, and the third Apx line, where A=B=1. Maybe you use 2px of space. Maybe, if you're rendering obnoxiously huge, you use a 2px line and however many pixels of space. You don't fucking use real-valued vector coordinates and then blindly snap them to integers, or smear bits of gray anti-aliasing around the screen like some kind of monkey with a hand full of it's own feces.

If OSX is actually doing stupid shit like that, it's no wonder sane-resolution moniters look like crap. Stupid-absurdres monitors will look just as bad, because the problem is the operating system driving them, not the monitor.

Yes they will. You need to be thinking about LGBTQ people in many non-Western countries.
That’s actually what they did before. They’ve been claiming to have e2ee for a while now and their excuse when caught was just that.
They hired the Keybase team. I feel like if the team was directed to develop countermeasures to the E2E or design the E2E to be vulnerable, someone would have blown the whistle. E2E was Keybase's thing and it would be a huge slap in the face.
There's some research (which I won't dig up at the moment; google "iron longevity" for a start) indicating that it's actually iron/heme which is bad. Women can get rid of it, at least while their fertility lasts. Men can't.

Reverse Engineering Snapchat: Obfuscation Techniques
Pointers in go aren't a signal for optionality, they're a signal for stack or heap or optionality. They also don't play nice with interfaces.

Let's say I have a hashmap that returns a `&T` and I have a `func foo(s Stringer)`. Because 'Stringer' is an interface, it's possible for it to take both `T` and `&T` without a compile-time complaint.

In addition, I may wish to have my function `bar(t &T)` always take a pointer because I want the object to exist on the heap, or to be able to mutate its value for the caller.

Since pointers mean so many other things, they're not a good way to have a compile-error indicate optionality.

On the other hand, if my caller does `hm.Get` and gets an `Option<s: Stringer>`, it's clear what to do to pass it to foo, and if it's an `Option<&T>`, it's clear both that I want a pointer, and that it should be checked / unwrapped.

I agree that `T` / `&T` would be just as powerful as option types in go (without sum types) if pointers didn't already have other substantial meaning, and if they could sensibly interact with interfaces.

As it stands, I think you're off the mark though.

Not sure I follow. Are you saying that font rendering on macOS is bad?
Ask HN: Is coding visualizations supposed to be this hard?
I’ve used experience both Python and R for years, in multiple jobs, and still, whenever I need to make a visualization that’s anything more complicated than a single-panel bar/scatter/etc plot, it takes tons of trial-and-error to get what I want.

This is in contrast to my experience coding in general, where I build things out, have some tests, and use the little bits of libraries that I need. Visualizations seem like a whole other beast, and are incredibly frustrating given how simple it seems to want to just “move this title over there!”, or “swap the order of these bars on all the facets!”.

On a related note, is data analysis in Python just generally supposed to be more of a hassle than in R? I like Python for general coding, but sometimes pandas feels like pulling teeth.

As per article they're also running the SASSA social grant system which is a train wreck in itself and has been buried in legal disputes for years (not random small cases...a challenge to the legitimacy of their core mandate on grants).

Protection for "mask works" was introduced in the Semiconductor Chip Protection act of 1984. You'll see a circled-M on modern dies indicating this protection. (I got the mask work symbol added to Unicode recently, but font support is lacking: 🆭.) The 8086 is the only chip I've seen with a copyright specifically designating the microcode.

It's much more likely you will be made the example, because you were the only person caught torching two police cars. I realize these things are symbolic and all but anybody who's actually been to a prison would never recklessly endanger their freedom wasting it on burning taxpayer money which is infinite in supply. Those cars will be replaced tomorrow while you go to prison for years. If you want to bring down the system get a majority of people to stop paying taxes then you get the Bernie Madoff club fed don't arson a cruiser you're just playing into the state's hands and getting a violent offender custody status now you have to fend for yourself against experienced violent criminals constantly trying to steal your commissary or provoke you into doing more time.

Anybody thinking of going outside and playing anarchist should know what they're getting themselves into, wait until your cellmate tells you that they're getting out in 2 months and you have to hold their contraband and weapons or the guards decide to put you in a high security yard because you're in there for something ridiculous like 'terroristic threats and arson'.

I think you, and others, might just be misinterpreting the point of the map. My take is that it is to help people look for the satellites. A 60 degree above the horizon cutoff isn't unreasonable, and making the circles much larger would clutter the map.

I find it helpful, anyway. (And to me, at least, it is more helpful than a hypothetical coverage map, since I can't get Starlink internet now.)
LinkedIn has become basically a requirement for applying for many jobs making it one of the hardest public profiles for the privacy conscious to hide from Google. I have a pretty common name, which is normally a good anonymity cloak, but if you also know my profession then my Linkedin profile pops up as the first Google result revealing many accurate personal details about me.
They are the 1%. 99% of people consider "privacy" a good value in abstract but will not lift a finger to protect their own privacy. It's virtue signalling.
> Would iOS apps ever have found as large an audience if they were all side-loaded bits of software instead of being organized, ranked, curated and featured in a built-in App Store?

They probably would have found such a large audience without Apple / Google. If something is genuinely useful then word-of-mouth and organic growth would very likely get them exactly where they are today.

Plus, App Store is anything but organised and curated. You can literally search for exact app name and get several other apps on top in the search results. I fail to see how this is "organised" or "curated" (unless of course, curated doesn't equal "pushing paid results to the top of search results" and this is likely exactly what's happening).

If I'm not incorrect this doesn't apply to newer properties.

Generally it introduces more complexity in the process so tenants can't easily share and get outraged by different rent levels, because everyone is "paying the same". So if you rent is $3k/month but you don't have to pay for 2 months, you are still going to pay $3k.

Additionally once the lease is up you are starting with $3k baseline rather than $2,500.

That's true. Now take the value of a free trash picker and compare that against what we pay for incarceration for 5 years + the cost of the car. One is way more expensive.

I think that dismisses the very real impact long term systemic racism has had. Additionally, a black man was just (allegedly, charges have been filed) murdered by the police after a a police officer shot him in the back and another stood on his shoulders while he was dying.

There is justifiable outrage. I do not condone wanton destruction and arson, but disruptive protests work in a way that peaceful ones alone do not.

Reminds me of a Dell CRT I used to use - 1600x1200@80Hz, and 21" IIRC. Every monitor I've had until fairly recently has felt like a compromise in some way compared to it, but taking a CRT to university was a non-starter.

The first neural networks appeared in the 50s (with significant limitations), and proper research into them and appropriate funding first started in the 80s. NN's didn't become a thing overnight, and neither will this. I'm not sure why you're expecting this thing to be proven now. Science is slow. It takes time to build evidence and "prove" things and figure out how useful a model is.

A search for "GPT-3 knowledge extraction" doesn't yield much, so I don't know what you're talking about. But as far as I'm concerned, knowledge exists in the heads of people, so I don't think we agree on that.
Which jobs require a LinkedIn profile? I've never had one and never been asked about it.

I'm also suspicious that the article keeps emphasizing "amateur photos given to authorities" as if they are deliberately steering away from the term "police surveillance footage" or perhaps "images obtained by scanning social media".

While I have no issue with police investigating lawbreakers, the public should know what the police are doing and how, so they can be confident that police are correctly following the law while executing their duty.

But perhaps I'm reading too much into that wording, and in fact some protesters who took photos thought the arson was over-reach, so they supplied the photos to the police.

Presentation Manager.

Sorry. That was the term I learned, many moons ago. I learned it as a Microsoft pattern, and I used it to create Web-focused SDKs.

The more familiar one is MVP.

Really, if you are talking about creating a UIKit or AppKit app, you should use good old MVC, even though it’s “square.”

That’s because it is the pattern the toolkit was specifically designed to implement, and other models actually introduce dangerous departures from the norm.

SwiftUI and React are much better for MVVM or MVP.

I had this experience too about 7 years ago. It was extremely frustrating because the origin IP being exposed to the DDOSers meant I had to move servers too instead of just upgrading my CF plan.

To be fair, at the time I believe "DDOS protection" was a feature only explicitly listed on their $200/month plan, and I was on the $20/month plan. I think it's part of all plans for the last few years now.

At my job now, we use cloudflare workers, but I'm almost hesitant to rely on them too much because I know they'd all break immediately if CF ever decided to surprise-switch our account off of the proxy-though-CF mode like I had happen before. I don't know if that move is still part of CF's playbook or not given the changes in how they handle DDOS attacks; maybe I'm being a bit irrational since the DDOS attacks were a painful experience to deal with overall. I hope this time CF will just ask us for more money if there's a problem before pulling out the rug. Other than that bad experience around that DDOS attack, CF has been one of my favorite services.

I should add that prestige is relative - there are a few "general readership" (non-specific with respect to topic) journals that are considered to be the most prestigious, but even within each subfield of research there is a general agreement about the prestige ranking of a particular journal. Especially given the recent proliferation of predatory publishing (pay to publish online with no real peer review), just the history of the journal (that it has existed for more than 20 years) marks it as being legitimate. (Especially reviewing proposals or applications from developing countries, publishing in these legitimate journals this can differentiate serious researchers from the rest.)

Even if journals are not considered prestigious in the traditional sense (often measured by what is called an impact factor - related to the average number of citations its papers receive), publishing in them still marks membership in a particular community (e.g., certain types of papers or papers addressing a certain topic have historically been published in X; following the succession of your academic forebearers).

So there is a lot of incentive not to scrap the current journals and start anew.
By turning this election into one about identity, I fear that Democrats are are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. If the election was about competence and performance, it would have been a slam dunk win with coronavirus and the economy in tatters. But if it is about identity a lot of people are going to feel that this is a good way of giving a middle finger to people who are saying bad things about their group. Tribes are often very happy to cut of their nose to spite their face. Even if they know Trump is bad for them, as long as they think he might be worse for their opponents, in the privacy of the voting booth, they might just vote for him.
