Adobe wasn't able to create a non-power hungry version for Android which meant Steve Jobs was right. Flash died because they could not move forward while retaining compatibility.

Also the x86 version caused YouTube videos that were "PAUSED" to spin up the fans! Same video in the YouTube HTML video player (BETA) remained silent.
Wastefulness in computing is a decade+ long epidemic.

Comedians were making songs about endless upgrades back in the 90s.
Concept album problems :(

Although that's fine taste mate. 2112, timeless and fundamental to an entire genre.
Second the option to reset, but there is an "private session" mode in the nav menu that seems to not track your listens the same way.

Netflix and the video streaming services are the worst here. I hate my Netflix recommendations, and can't get out of them.
KN95 is the Chinese equivalent to the US N95 or European FFP2 standard. A mask labeled KN95 does not mean it isn't effective.

There are however fake KN95 masks out there.

Probably something along the lines of GeekSquad inside BestBuy.
What do you think the list is then?
I don't think it's irrelevant to speak to the fact that the latest Firefox runs well on my 2013 iMac. Anecdotal, sure, but I'm tired of seeing the generic "Firefox is bad on macOS" complaints because I just don't think it's true across-the-board anymore. 10-15 versions ago? That was a different story. It has come a long way. I abandoned Firefox back in those days, but lately I returned to it as my browser of choice on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

However, in terms of iOS, I am not certain how either of our experiences (both on macOS) would really be relevant at all to how Firefox would perform on iOS. As much as Apple has tried to make them similar lately, they are still different worlds.
They don't seem to actually working toward L4 any time soon. It's just a steady drip of little features like "stops at stoplight" that are progress to fans, since none of the other self-driving companies are releasing anything, but what Waymo/Cruise/Zoox are stuck on (and have been working on for many many years) are much more nuanced problems that Tesla still have to face some day.
Whenever I go past the Oxford Circus store I think to myself, if only we had stores like this for Linux.
Not to detract from your interpretation, but I do wonder to what extent the "social commitment" motivated you to actually start working. I personally have found that, despite considering myself fairly disciplined, fixing my social environment has been the best way for me to accomplish my goals (e.g. exercising, writing, learning, etc.). Obviously this is not always feasible, but it's always I something I explore now as an initial solution.
CCPA is really focused on sellers and aggregators of personal data, and this is a perfect example of why they need regulation.
> limit the height of the mountains

Gravitational potential energy becomes sufficient to pay for rock deformation. As with toothpaste, when a pile gets sufficiently high, the bottom plastically deforms until it isn't. For a higher mountain range, you need a lower-G planet, like Mars.
Yeah, I'm actually surprised that this is only just now happening. Guess I'd assumed he'd managed to bump it off on all Apple platforms before he died.
That fault lies solely with the designers and developers of those software.

"Yeah but they didn't know what they were doing and didn't want to learn" is a more appropriate take.

You can think of it this way: your neighbor nextdoor made a soapbox car. Does that qualify them to be your mechanic? Probably not.
I assumed that this defeats some copyright checking somehow but I have no info.
On the other hand, working at a large company I saw a many-line SQL query that had been run monthly for a long while, looked at and edited by quite a few people, which down in the middle of it was comparing (for equality) a city id and a probability.

There is absolutely room for improved tooling. I have no idea whether Prisma is it.
I used to spend hours playing browser games on Miniclip. Heli Attack 1/2/3, 3 Foot Ninja, Hockey Showdown, Dancing Bush, Dino Run... Now I play God of War, Jedi Fallen Order, The Last of Us, Ace Combat, Alien Isolation. How times have changed.
The iPhone was a brand new product with an install base of exactly zero, vs Flash with an install base in the millions.

I don't think it's fair to call it "abuse". If anything, they saw that Flash was not going to work on mobile and made a tough but calculated decision. It could have backfired on them. In my opinion, it was the right move and we're all better off because of it.
Maybe having a physical store that lowers the barrier for making warranty claims, especially “shaky” ones, isn’t a profit maker.

Cost to fix a shaky piece of kit: $100

Future sale made because someone is happy with your service: $1,000

While I like to blame this sort of myopic thinking on SV, it seems like an entire generation, or two, has forgotten that if you make someone happy today, you've made a customer for life.

This was car sales 101 in the 1950's and 60's.
I wonder what that company's strategy is for not being left behind.
IIRC there is some kind of SaaS solution for this but right now I can’t recall its name. Maybe someone else here knows?

Edited: I reached out to some security people and it seems like the following are popular tools for this use case: Snyk / Dependabot / Whitesource.
The company is an extension of it's board of directors and the major shareholder(s?), which are, by deduction, racist!!!

Why? Flash is dead. Any "school" using Flash does not have anything worth teaching since Adobe has been announcing it's death for years and this year is it [https://www.wired.com/story/adobe-finally-kills-flash-dead/]
Microsoft had retail stores?
i'm personally no fan of the gov-corp false dichotomy--we can neither completely trust nor distrust any institution. we the people use them as tools for a better society, not as tribal members, and need to stay vigilant of any concentration or expression of power, like surveillance. it's our duty.

but yes, fed-gov providing smaller govs enterprise services seems like a potentially good and more efficient use of tax dollars, though concentrating surveillance is a concern.
Fingerprints are probably a good comparison, the factors used AIUI mean about 1:1M chance of a random match (that's from a few years back, maybe they changed how they gather/process/match fingerprints).

That's not great, but people perceive it as "fingerprints are unique".
This makes me sad. I thought the Microsoft Store at the Domain in Austin was very cool and I visited from time to time. There was also an Apple store in the same location so I could visit both! And there was a Borders Bookstore, which I loved browsing in, and is also closed now :-(
Uh, I do similar thing. I use narrated let's plays or podcasts on YouTube to go to sleep in the evening and YouTube knows this. It knows my habits so much that even not to recommend stuff I listen every evening, durning daytime. Only when I open my phone in the evening reccomendations are suddenly full of stuff I want to listen to get to sleep.

I use YouTube bc it autostops playing and turns phone off when I'm already sleeping. And funnily enough, ads help me start sleeping faster :D
The Quest to Improve Email
bingo.

I use docker to run ALL dependencies for ALL the stuff I develop as a way to be able to really cleanly keep stuff organized, and avoid having to figure out how to totally purge random installs of postgres/etc.. from my system.

I also run a couple things 24/7 in docker: e.g. pihole

A huge slowdown or hugely increased CPU usage (and its not good as-is) for running stuff in docker is a non-starter for me. If thats how it works out, that would be the nudge I need to seriously investigate a linux laptop.
Morris is a genius, if you like his stuff, do check out Blue Jam, very strange indeed
The article links one study baking the "blue wall of silence" claim, but provides only personal anecdotes backing the "US military usually punishes misconduct" claim. In fact, the last part of the article seems to imply the opposite (due to the influence of the current administration).

I think a more appropriate title would have been "When facing misconduct, Police often close ranks. How does the US military handle it?"
The Apple Disk ][ 5.25 floppy drive has a disk inside with 2 patterns. When spinning under a florescent light the pattern appears to not be spinning when the drive is at the right speed. The 2 different patterns are there for whether you have 50 or 60 Hz mains power.
I totally support team rooms. I have had great success with those. I'd happily take a cube over an open office, but I'd take a conference room for each team (with real desks, though, not a big table ;-)) over any other option.

The place I'm at now has six-foot bench seating for everyone below VP. The dividers between rows aren't even tall enough to block your vision when you're sitting. It's a terrible arrangement, very noisy.
> I hate the new snap thing that happened to Ubuntu

I installed sshd using what I thought was apt. It actually happened that Xubuntu installed a snap. I also couldn't enable or start/stop `sshd` using systemctl, for some reason.

I'm quite sure there's some way I could learn to manage services in snaps... or maybe it was a bug? Either way, I don't want to waste my time. I don't see how this change makes my workflow any easier than centralised package and service management. I'm looking at MX Linux/AntiX now.
Well, I’m just going by the “facts” as they are in the story.
> Are they going to arrest the white supremacists who are more or less on their side in this debate?

Please don't talk out of your rear end. There are plenty of good cops out there: I know and have worked with a bunch. In fact, some of them go after white supremacists.
The Citi credit card has a feature to generate "virtual card numbers" for one-time use but unfortunately, it's not purely web-based and requires the Flash runtime.

Family member in Texas goes hog hunting every year and always has sausage in the freezer. There are millions of them. Your story about the Polaris and AR-15 is spot on; this is possibly the only game animal for which an AR-15 is the perfect rifle.
Oh ok, that hasn't been my experience, we don't have Best Buy here (Australia), so maybe the difference. I had to drop off my Mac to a non apple place when they were all closed, due to corona. It was 5-10 minutes tops for drop off and pick up - but an unusual situation.
My recollection is over 30% you get continent-scale wildfires. And over 35%, even wet plants burn.
"Dead" only meaning new apps generally don't use Flash. Old content is still not accessible without a Flash player.
I pay for Google Play Music which is similar to Spotify. I wish I knew how much of my money was going to which artists I listen to, but I suspect the result is disappointing. $10 a month is far more than I would spend on music otherwise and if even half of it went to artists I listen to, then I'd be supporting them reasonably well IMO. It should add up decently. I kind of doubt that it does.
A comment I made recently:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23138828

Basically, cell service providers collect as much data as possible and share it with as many third parties as possible. They keep track of your internet traffic, and they can keep track of your location based upon signal strength.

This is just one of the sources they get their data from, but there’s no way to stop it, short of removing your SIM card.
Unfortunate as it is but neither you nor DanBC are the global authority on other peoples "real reason" for doing things no matter how you feel on the subject.
Context is also a poorly thought out point to bring up considering plenty was provided; numerous examples of destruction of statues given before, no sign of slowing and future targetting given often and loudly.
Time zone differences make talent in similar time zones more preferable.

But I agree that SV will get greatly affected in a detrimental way by remote work.
Some people will feel strongly that the answer is yes. Some people will feel strongly that the answer is no. While I have an opinion, it seems easy to construct arguments both for an against.
Since they kill 1000 people a year (as cited early in the thread, didn't look it up), that would leave 400-700 controversial killings, or 1-2 per day on average...

From your comment, it's quite apparent you'd be a prime candidate for this program. Thinking any failing of socialism is just corporations or US exploitation is absurdly ignorant.

No. MobileWalla's statement in the article:

my understanding in "digital publishing" (news/blogs/magazines) is almost all the writers fall in the 60 - 120k range. and thats for a "commute into manhattan every morning" job, so you will have roomates.
You wouldn't know. That's the issue.

You read a seemingly innocent headline, and move on with your day.
Sure. But JavaScript has Promise built in to the language these days. With PHP you'd have to use a third party extension, like swoole, if you want something like that. Or write your own, of course.

But should we need to do this for a 25 year old backend language?
That dialogue would be quite boring if it were more precisely tuned to science.
Your comment implies that people do:

> If you can kill someone and be more or less OK after that, you probably have antisocial personality disorder or you've had a lot of training to desensitize you to killing.

Or were you wrong about that?
The larger issue than stability is that WebGL is an entirely different framework, serving entirely different ends.

For the abstractions Flash supported (objects with behaviors, scenes, timelines), WebGL is way, way too low-level. WebGL is more the kind of thing someone would write Flash on top of.

I believe their argument is that there is no coherent, practical position that can be described as decolonization in this modern sense. Both the dictionary and wikipedia only define decolonization in a conventional, imperial power withdrawing sense.

Are you aware of a clear, practical definition which a society or state could implement? And does it have no overlap with OP’s concerns.

Absent there being any clear definition of the concept I am not sure the onus is on OP to define it.

I find it fascinating how most comparisons of COVID-19 impact in USA vs Europe typically include only those European countries that have it worse.

Here are the countries that have worse outcomes: Spain, UK, Italy, France, Sweden, Ireland, Netherlands.

And here are the ones that have better outcomes: Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Finland, Romania, Hungary, Estonia, Slovenia, Czechia, Poland, Croatia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Slovakia.

Next time you see a graph where USA is only compared to Italy, Spain, and UK, someone is trying to manipulate you. I assume that the excuse would be like "we only included the big countries that matter", but that wouldn't really explain forgetting Germany.

Why would you need to hide having participated in a protest? It is an act which is protected by the First Amendment in the US Constitution.
This is really impressive. But it raises some questions for me.

What size library would be required to decode these type of images?

And would the decoding library be updated on a regular basis? Would the image change when decoding library is updated? Would images be tagged with a version of the library when encoded (HiFiC v1.0.2?)
At first I misread the name as "Malinvest". Funny enough, the website is set up to encourage exactly that.

You have to pick a business based on a short description and some social media profiles. Some of the listings have a business plan or a slide deck, but none present an audited financial statement.

Then there is a mysterious metric called "investment multiple". It seems to be a 6.5-year ROI. When you break it down, it boils down to 3.5-8.5% return per year on the money you lend them. However, the payment schedule is unspecified, and it is not exactly clear what recourse do you have if things go under. A bank would never provide a business loan on such terms.
WAIT. Are you asking "real" devs or designers how could figure out some scripts using Actionscript. Huge difference. I know a few Actionscript Masters that could barely handle JS.

Yes - but there were larger animals (including huge insects) millions of years prior to that - and many scientists suspect it's due to higher amounts of O2.
I don't spend a lot of time in malls, but I've passed Microsoft Stores maybe six or seven times. My observation has been that they're always located as close to the Apple Store as possible, and that they are virtually empty, compared to the Apple Store.

I remember one day it was particularly stark. There was a line to get in at the Apple Store (not a launch day), and there were only employees inside the Microsoft Store. It was then I realized that the Microsoft Store wasn't about selling things, it was just a branding exercise.

By whom do you think they were always recommended? Because that absolutely hasn't been true for the WHO and CDC, as the links I already gave you show. The WHO has changed its position on masks, and has been in conflict with the CDC on the same topic.

That video you linked to doesn't in any way disagree with anything I've said, nor rebut the point. In fact it supports it. It's just a video of Anthony Fauci talking about why he changed his position on masks: without admitting to it directly, he 'explains' that he wanted to ensure medical workers had access to them. But he is on record as having recommended against masks in the past. Here's Snopes saying so:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fauci-masks-no-longer-need...

In the March 2020 clip, Fauci said: “Right now in the United States people SHOULD NOT BE walking around with masks … You should think of healthcare providers who are needing them and the people who are ill.” (my caps)

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-c...

He also acknowledged that masks were initially NOT RECOMMENDED to the general public so that first responders wouldn’t feel the strain of a shortage of PPE. (my caps)

Now many countries have introduced face mask requirements (which is dumb, but clearly a change of position).

Not only has mask advice changed but it's changed for dumb reasons: there's no scientific evidence masks work to stop SARS-CoV-2 transmission, especially not the cloth masks being actually deployed. This article investigates what's really known about this tactic:

Oracle opensources Coherence Core, an in-memory data grid
It implements finite element method solver for continuous solids. This is done by filling the object with tetrahedrons and applying deformation constraints. Varying the constraint strength throughout the object lets you adjust the stiffness. (I imagine nphysics supports this already.)
Well, historically this whole "decolonisation" meme was pushed by non-Western influences from the socialist and "non-aligned" bloc. But you're right that nowadays it mostly survives in some parts of the West, such as elite academia. A zombie revenant of dead influencers' propaganda from decades past.
Same here. Must have been five years or more since I last used a Flash applet.
