This is what most so called 'developed' (indoctrinated) countries don't get but people from so called 'undeveloped' (un-indocrinated) countries get easily and see the worth and value.

I've been into it since 2010 because I'm well travelled and don't listen to mainstream media. Most people are glued to the news,papers,Facebook,Twitter and what not so are constantly fed the lies.

At this point, when did any government or agency ever tell the truth? Seriously! Via,MI5 etc distribute coke,ice,heroin around the world caught all the time. HSBC money laundering for cartels and get away with it. Well are tax dollars fund them cartels so they can't be linked!!

Off, fuck it, even in a minority of one the truth is still the truth.

The Jews have been manipulating it all along. Millennia. They are a race of people with distinctions just like white, negroids or mongoloids (flat back of head, lack of ear lobes, large nose) separating them as a different race, not religion!

They are not meant to own land and Israel is meant to be a state! not a country! So calling me anti Semite shows how easily lead you are you can't discuss such things because they had no land to come from so are not Semites!

Now be a good goyim and jump off that cliff for me will you!

Typo, yeah :)
This makes it easy for companies to outsource by stealth.
That battle was lost long ago and the answer is generally "no." Classic MacOS used Resource Forks. That's where file type was stored instead of using extensions. I believe icons were stored there, as well as other things like where you downloaded it from (a favorite feature of mine in Classic MacOS). Zip files would write that data a special folder. Likely, because this was so problematic in a multi-OS, Internet-enabled world it was ditched for file extensions and encoding everything else inside the file. If you downloaded a file from the Internet that wasn't kept in an archive it would be useless without metadata.

Today, macOS uses extended attributes (which were already mentioned) which stashes things like where you downloaded it from, if it's quarantine (first launch warnings), if it's a screen shot, etc. Funny enough, when you place something in the Trash it stores the former location (so you can put it back) in DS_Store.

Generally, metadata is either stripped or just plain gets messed up when switching OSes depending on the partition type and tools used to transfer.
I love this book. Thanks for updating it!!!

You're splitting hairs. Fine, it's not 50%. It's 48% or 45%, of the voting population. What does it matter? The point stands that a statistically significant number of people hold a set of ideologies and views that has been marginalised.

Before the 2016 election I would never believe that someone like Trump could win, because the media and prevailing signalling from America was that Trump-esque beliefs were a tiny minority. Clearly that turned out to not be the case. And that's the lesson from marginalising and suppressing 'undesirable' views. It doesn't make them go away. Here they are, dominating America. Deplatforming those people, depriving them of public voice, censoring their views, all that did was harden their resolve and create a massive blowback effect that shifted people on the moderate side of the spectrum towards radical.

You can argue about fine detail stats all you want, but America is currently being run by Trump and all the so-called undesirables have risen to mainstream status. Which is what my comment was all about. I'm sure you'll agree that if winning the presidency merely takes a 'slight' advantage in gaming the system, then the vote was already split on a knife's edge.
Fake it until you raise 1 billion and then sell your company for 1 billion?
A billion tests most certainly won't be useful. Good tests target very specific things that are critical to your product. In my experience UI tests are only slightly more flaky than other testing methods as long as they are written well.

Interesting. What software do you recommend? Do you know of something that can take a latex or pdf document?
Well, on MacOS they come straight from NeXT so it's no big deal. But what's interesting is that they were on other systems in the 80s too - whereas in the 2000s they were one of the things that made people say MacOS is better than anything else, since only they have these special folders.
No i have the 1920x1080 12.5", why is that not comparable?

Not getting this in the UK. I’m guessing their suggestions are location specific maybe? Though I don’t recall ever seen Safari do this myself.
Presumably breathing has no effect on the diffusion of odors from far away to the immediate vicinity of the nostrils. So, diffusion can also take odors from the temporarily-inactive nostril deeper into the sinus.

> Facial recognition at 95% can be very useful in helping to find people, initiate investigations. It doesn't have to provide grounds for arrest, let alone evidence for a trial.

Even getting asked to come down to the station to give a statement based on an incorrect facial recognition is not something I would want to deal with for the sake of "the greater good".

95% seems awfully low accuracy, and even without an arrest this will cause a lot of headaches for many honest citizens.

> No - there doesn't need to be any compensation if there wasn't any malfeasance or incompetence in the system. To the extent our public servants are all acting above bar, using efficient, fair and lawful methods, then 'compensation' is not really the issue.

I was already excited when Apple showcased an Extension for the new Safari in their keynote that did something similar.

I wonder if any of these websites will find a way to prevent these recipe scrapers from working so that people read the damn ads in their blog texts. Instapaper‘s article extraction gets rejected from time to time and Safari‘s reader mode too, but it’s mostly on major news sites.
I don’t want to overcome wealth inequality so we can all own Porsche SUVs.

I’m not interested in facilitating mass materialism. Materialism is the problem, and wealth inequality a symptom, in my experience.
> Early Ethereum buyer checking in.

Hopeful about ETH tokens rising in value soon? ETH 2.0 is coming later this year, which may shake things up one way or another.
>Also it's a bit ironic to decry both materialism and wealth inequality at the same time. I guess if you're concerned about the wealthy's souls or something.

You could probably do it along the lines of a Vimes' boots argument. "People who are poor can't afford essential services, medical support, etc., so their lives slowly degrade while they fill the void with empty consumerism. If there were equality, they would have been sufficiently well-off to directly deal with the problems of their lives."

That argument opposes materialism because it argues that consumerist materialism obscures real problems, and it is also in favor of equality as something that would improve people's lives.
There are ways to turn batch compilers into incremental IDE compilers with some tree and effect caching on the periphery of the compiler. You can even go all the way up to the eval level for a full live programming environment. You don’t need module signatures if you are willing to trace dependencies dynamically.

Thanks all for the answers, to summarize a bit:

- I don't develop for mac/ios: so there's no need of arm for me
- Switching to windows/linux is an option that I consider. In the company there are some XPS that are fairly good. The thing that stops me are the tool and the habit i developed with mac, and the fact that i've part of the file made with keynote/pages.

In the end I'll make my mind of buying a XPS (or thinkpad) or go with the today's MBP
Do NOT stop worrying about blocking in async functions
On my third XPS 13 now, each of which came with Windows, but I've been running Linux flawlessly on each since day one.

Double edge knife here, but reviews can be very helpful, when the audience is positive they can provide good alternatives/substitutes, ideas to increase/reduce this or that ingredient to achieve a different flavour, etc.
I think the problem is Finder long ago move away from spacial interface to a browser interface. Since the move wasn't very clear-cut it's now just bad at remembering position and layout. Not to mention those things aren't very useful on a completely different computer that would have a different resolution and screen layout.

I think the data would be just fine stored as metadata on the directory or a centralized database that wasn't persistent between computers and the disruption would be minimal. Spotlight comments, which Finder reads from DS_Store, is also written to extended attributes. It just isn't read from there. Trash stores each file's previous folder in DS_Store, which could be problematic on a different computer (and nobody would expect that to persist).
The problem isn't that they are preserving their value. It's that they are growing quickly in value which is something that shouldn't happen with an essential human need like housing.
I agree, but they have announced initial voice call support for linux (update 78) and this is actually quite close to what I want :)
> As such I think it would be hard for anybody today to start trying to enforce the IP rights on the 8-bit ROMs, they are so widely spread, distributed and used.

IANAL, but while you can lose a trademark through non-enforcement, I don't believe the same applies to copyrights. Turning a blind eye to infringement, even for years on end, doesn't necessarily prevent an attempt to go after it in the future.

> All the IP rights (except the Commodore name and trademark) is now owned and managed by Cloanto. You can buy legal copies of all the ROMs and software from them, they also seem very amenable to make deals with makers of retro computers etc.

I don't know who owns Cloanto. But even if its current owner(s) are nice and friendly people – it could end up being owned by someone else in the future who is more focused on extracting as much money as possible (like what happened to Unix with the SCO saga). Maybe the current owner(s) go bankrupt, pass away, fall on hard times, etc, and the business ends up being sold to someone only interested in maximising their return at any cost.

>I remember reading somewhere that most (modal) dialogs are just lazy design

If they are lazy design does that mean they are quick design, especially if you find a problem that needs solving in the middle of getting ready for the launch of your MVP it might be easier to do a modal.

Of course this would lead to legacy design that needs fixing over time, and legacy code to support the quick and dirty design decisions.

Once again, that simply has nothing to do with free speech, politicians being narcissistic amoral psychopaths is basically in the job description, some of them more obviously than others, but basically all of them. I don't like or approve of any politicians, so your attempts to paint me as some kind of political follower of what you perceive as "the enemy" is frankly just funny.

But whatever you have to do to get yourself past the fact that you're desperately defending some of the most reprehensible conduct in the world today overturning a long standing commitment to what used to be a highly functional and useful set of norms for social communication I guess. If I were in your shoes trying to demonize anybody that disagreed with me would probability be the card I'd be reaching for also.
The application of AI in security is primarily needed to due to the enormity of the problem, not due to its ability to replace people. There simply isn't enough manpower or time to train experts and have them examine all the data. You can argue some of the data should not be examined at all for privacy reasons. But there are plenty of scenarios where privacy concerns won't hold. Such as comparing the security camera photo of a bank robber to mugshots.

The question of when it is reliable is an big one people have been working on a long time. For example in medicine the stakes are even higher. The problem is simply that recent technologies (deep learning) have taken a huge leap forward in performance, but a huge leap backwards when it comes to being able to assess confidence.
Thats what I said, better than humans is not good enough. Humans can make mistakes but they can be held accountable and their mistake is not an accepted outcome of the system. To put it differently, facial recongition would be compared with explicitly accepting only low IQ people for cop jobs (which some PDs do!) as opposed to hiring the best people and expecting them to have 100% accuracy. Their mistake is a matter of judgement and negligence. Facial recongition's mistakes are a matter of the system accepting the mistake. Technical people often focus on the pure metrics but as in engineering,why faults happen is important. The metric should never be the goal.

To put it differently, explicitly accepting injustice is incompatible with mine and I believe society's understanding of justice. This is the same reason why ML shouldn't be used to replace human judges regardless of improvements in outcome. The authority of judges,cops and legislators is legitimate because the people have a contract with them where the people's view of justice is implemented as law in return the people subject themselves to these laws. Facial recogntion and ML judges violate that contract and as a result the outcome is illegitimate,100% of convicts become wrongly convicted because as a people the views on justice of their society was nor enforced by a member of their society that is elected or appointed by the people but by a blackbox logic that only looks at the outcome as a metric. A defense attorney can claim eyewitness testimony is inaccurate for example and cross examine witnesses but that attorney cannot interrogate a ML presenting as evidence a blurry picture with a 99% accuracy match.
It's because it can track the whereabouts of everyone. It's a massive privacy issue. Do you want the gov't to know where you go, what you spend your money, and who you associate with?

The government already knows that, via Google, Facebook, and the telcos.
To be honest, I see a bit of a contradiction here... what we now call ‘computers’ are far more than initially intended (and I’m not referring to the “‘computer’ used to be a job description”): the whole original theory and assumptions of computer usage was that they would be used to calculate and generally enhance already existing rational methods of consideration. Lambda calculus and Turing Machines and so forth were single devices that executed tasks — not nodes in a network whose only purpose is to enable communication between the users that posses them. Those who pondered them and their implications did not see them as many-to-many communication tools. Largely, this is the source of the disconnect referred to (and the disagreements going on between responders): the utopian premises of computing were based on expectations of rationality because that’s what stand-alone computers are best used for; when they became communication devices we (culturally) manufactured the genre of cyberpunk to accomodate for the implications of this (and other things).
To say truth, it is not just a wego as a service
since many years, but is started like that indeed

Now it has a lot of additional features:

* one-line output for status lines

* astronomical information

* translation to 70+ languages

* geolocation

* full fledged multilingual location search

* HTML frontend

* PNG frontend

* Slack support

* scalable architecture (it handles 10M+ queries daily for the moment of writing, with avg processing time under 30 msec)

It took one weak for the initial wego-as-a-service wrapper implementation, and more than 4 years (and 99 contributors) for the rest.

But we of course honor wego, and mention it in the README,

TFA is not saying all modals are bad, just most. Progressive disclosure is a fine thing, but that doesn't have to mean modals. Most of the time a discreet notification that doesn't interrupt the user's flow is what's appropriate; I think Tidal does a good job here, by highlighting one feature per screen, and if I don't tap on it to see what it is I'm able to go about my way.

Since we're quoting NNGroup, here's their guidance on modals[1] (emphasis mine):

1) Important warnings

2) Critical to continuing the current process

Most modals are unasked for, not relevant to the user's current needs (no matter what the dev/marketing might think), and unwanted. Modal to select filter settings when I've clicked/tapped the 'filter' button? That's a good use.
