>Yes, it brings up the Save As dialog, but the name is not pre-filled with an intelligent choice.

No, but it's usually helpfully preselected so a single keystroke, changes the name.

>Many of my files begin with "I'm ..." and sometimes the best that Word 97 can come up with is "I7.doc".

>Well, that "I7.doc" is a whole lot better than LibreOffice's "Untitled 1", which will overwrite the last "Untitled 1" it already had me save.

Personally, I dislike that feature of word because typically I do not want my files saved by the first thing i've written and yes I care about file names and take the time to name things sensibly and even put them in related folders.

Also, it should automatically detect an untitled1 and enumerate to untitled2 if untitled1 exists, again this is how it's always worked for me. So your file overwriting example seems a tad dubious to me.

I have to be honest, of all the gripes i've heard, this one's just a bit ridiculous. The save feature works exactly as it should. A program should allow me to choose a name for a file or choose a reasonable generic default, not decide what it thinks I want.

If I see an untitled1.doc around, I know I forgot to rename a file and I investigate, if I see I7.doc or a my name is.doc, I dunno what the hell it is. Maybe it's something I forgot to rename, maybe it's something I wrote before and forgot about, who knows?
Fusion is one thing. The farnsworth style fusors are relatively easy to make. I'm talking about fission, which is a bit more difficult, but actually could be made possible with the neutrons emitted by a farnsworth reactor(or a bunch of other ways that don't require high voltage/high vacuum).
The point I was getting at in my second paragraph is, the consequences of screwing up everyone's cryptography today include wrecking the modern economy. This wasn't true 30 years ago.
You know what? When I was a kid growing up back in the northern reaches of fly-over land, I got to experience a vehicle UI that has never been bettered for the environment that it was designed for. It's the 1970's era Chevy Silverado. Why was it so good? That is easy: every control could be operated while wearing heavy mittens or snowmobile gloves. The lights were on big paddle switches. The climate control twist knobs had large grip regions. Let me tell you, if is early morning, the sun isn't up yet, the temp has only warmed up to -10F so far, being able to get the lights and heat on without pulling off your outermost of 3 layers of gloves was a real benefit.

Contrast that to a modern F-150 with a touch screen and also climate control on a matrix of identical wee little switches with labels so small you can't read them from driving position. What rubbish. Trying to hit just one of those switches while driving a rough road without gloves on is nearly impossible. With snowmobile gloves, you might as well just mash your hand on the whole panel and hope for the best.
The fact that, as a user, I can't tell a browser "hey, this internal PKI that you already don't trust, just go ahead and trust it no matter what because I tell you to," feels bad.
The standard way involves a meta tag, right?
The bad IPAs you are talking about have dialed up the bitterness (because they seem to think that's what an IPA is all about) but are unable to create any of that wonderful complexity, aroma and flavor from the hops used. I absolutely hate these simplistic IPA clones, which are mostly found in supermarkets and give IPAs (and craft beer) a bad name.

Bitterness =/= hoppiness
1-2 cups of coffee are medically fine. It won't likely have much of a significant effect on your health.
well... i'd much rather fix their deep search so it's as good as google's and not worry about this like this:)
> It is like saying a touchscreen is thousands of switches just because it has that many sensor points.

Huh? This is such a bad counter analogy. Allow me to expand and prove my point.

First, let's clarify what type of an input a keyboard switch is? It is Single Pole Single Throw or SPST. It is also momentary (meaning you have to keep the key pressed to close the circuit). 104 keys on a keyboard, each key is a momentary SPST switch representing the ASCII character set (let's simplify).

On a touch screen, if it had 104 boxes, each representing a monentary SPST, then it is identical as far as the interaction is concerned. The finger went down, pressed inside a box or a key, and a character appeared on the screen. They are identical (in logical sense). The circuit element is the same, see the symbol for SPST here [1].

You're comparing 104 individual options for character input to a pixel on the touchscreen? Why? I don't follow and what point are you trying to make? The action is taken as a press of a finger in a specific area, not a single pixel.

Absolutely, I totally agree in general.

For coffee culture in particular it's strange, because what's the aspiration? To drink lots of coffee? Great, but I struggle to find a higher purpose in that.

In coffee culture, there's some common sense of belonging and easy identification with others -- drinking lots of coffee is like being a fan of a popular sports team. It makes for an easy catchphrase and set of jokes that can go on T-Shirts or Tinder bios. It's an easy way to create a persona, and stereotype yourself a little for others to feel like they get you more easily -- "that's Jay, he's 6 feet tall, loves coffee and flying kites, rides a motorcycle". But, at least to me, it felt like a bland or uninteresting thing to advertise about myself.
Amusing that her Behance profile says she's 21 - meaning she probably wasn't even alive when Windows 95 was released, and certainly almost never used it!

I guess retro isn't just to satisfy nostalgia.
I like to ween myself off coffee by drinking lower caffeinated tea instead.
Drug sensitivity is always such a strange thing to me. It strikes me as having characteristics of qualia - to you, going cold turkey on caffeine was apparently monstrous, but I've had the exact opposite experiences. I drink a lot of coffee, 3 cups a day average, but if I stop for a day or three or a week I certainly don't feel any pain, just a different focus.
I've always thought that Excel redesigned as a database could be a viable product.

In this time and age, I find that highly doubtful.
I don't see how this is a privacy violation in any way. The headline is that DDG is tracking the domains you visit, but favicons are loaded for every search result you see unconditional on whether you click them, and DDG already knows what those results are when they serve them to you.
Don’t they already have access to all the search results anyways? This doesn’t seem to be any privacy loss relative to that.
The Flash API surface does not include direct host access the way the native application API surface does. That means that while identifying native apps doing "bad things" requires solving the halting problem (and moral philosophy), any ability of Flash applets to do "bad things" is an unambiguous bug. Sure, without a sandbox those bugs are easy to exploit when they exist, but they can nonetheless be fixed.
I wouldn't trust Flash from 2005 against NSO Group from 2020, but I'd certainly trust it against the author of the Melissa virus.

Another way of putting this is that there are two senses of "sandboxed" - one is having a limited API surface and one is using software fault isolation techniques on the interpreter/runtime itself. Flash (and JS) always had the former, even though the latter is fairly recent.
I agree. I didn’t know anything about Docker - and I am still no expert. I put our entire CI/CD pipeline based on two or three easy to follow articles.

Same boat. I -love- coffee. Heart started skipping so erratically that I went to the ER. Followup with a cardiologist who told me 'no more caffeine.'. Never bothered me a day in my life til age 34, apparently.

Edit to add - Actually, about a year prior to that, had really bad GERD start out of nowhere. The doctor there also said to stop drinking caffeine. Apparently it's really bad for your stomach muscles. I didn't listen of course, until my heart was involved.
I did it because when I was on an elimination diet, it was recommended to quit caffeine too. Hasn't seemed to have much effect. I sleep the same, still grind my teeth, still have psoriasis. I've cut everything from diet except salt, vegetables, fruit and fish.
That's how authoritarian regimes usually work. Do everything they say and you'll be okay. The problem is a decent number of people don't want to be absolutely subservient.
Note that the co-insurance framing doesn't work out in your favor, because in France the costs for medical procedures or emergencies is far, far cheaper than the US. An emergency room visit might cost you around €10 while in the US visiting the emergency room is likely to bankrupt you.

Hell, it would likely put a big shock in my finances and I actually have good health insurance right now. You can't compare co-insurance costs like you are because it's apples to oranges.

Do you want to know how much it cost me to get my dental work done in the US versus how much it costs in France?
Actually it's the opposite. Turbines are much less sensitive to that, except for balancing, and bearings quality.
I hear you, but venting into an open email form is somewhat satisfying, and the more busywork her office has the less damage she can do?
If someone believes they wouldn't mind being seen picking their nose, it doesn't matter whether they are correct in that assessment. You won't convince them using such an argument because they won't agree with your premise even though you're right.
The state law does not apply to units that are rent controlled by existing city ordinances.
I live in downtown Denver and I just want to point out all the good food is spread out across the metro area, it’s only walkable in a very weak sense. There’s also zero bodega/corner store/corner deli/food carts downtown, aside from two 7-11s and a CVS. Boulder has much better food and stores close to where people live.
Lately I've been experimenting with regular caffeine resets to avoid tolerance. I'm following a two weeks on / 1 week off schedule.

I also use caffeine tablets instead of coffee, and limit myself to 50-100mg, usually taken in smaller doses throughout the day. Combined with the regular reset weeks, this so far seems to be enough to boost my energy without giving me jitters and other issues.
It sounds like you haven’t been reading along.

Opt-out is only user hostile when it is used as a scam. Whether it is hostile depends on the implementation.

Apple’s implementation is a friendly one. Firstly there is an email confirmation with a link to cancel, and secondly there is a single screen with all of the subscriptions aggregated and cancellable.

If you are someone who generally purchases subscriptions to things you actually want, then opt-out is clearly more friendly.

If you are someone who likes to try a bunch of stuff but isn’t likely to want to keep much of it, then you would likely prefer opt-in.

Whether a given implementation of opt-out is a scam or not is orthogonal to whether it matches your personal style.
Even assuming you already know the customer's shipping address and ignore the multiple-items problem, this is still difficult to accomplish from a computational complexity perspective. Calculating shipping cost is likely at least an order of magnitude more expensive than simply looking up list prices in a database - you have to look up the customer's address, go through a bunch of tax rules, figure out the shipping cost (however that works, I honestly don't know but I assume it's non-trivial), etc. Now consider the fact that prices displayed at checkout make up a tiny fraction of prices that are requested by the site. Every time an item appears anywhere on the site you probably want to display a price with it. So now your infrastructure costs for handling pricing requests go up by an order of magnitude since all of them no require expensive pricing computation, whereas only a tiny fraction did before.

On top of all this, if all you're displaying is list price you can cache that very effectively and significantly reduce the load on your backend, probably by at least another order of magnitude. As with many things, items loaded on ecommerce sites tend to follow a Pareto distribution, for which caching is very effective. Adding a shipping address to the mix will destroy this caching ability, so not only are your requests 10x more expensive, 10x more of them now make it to the backend. There are various tricks you can do to try to have your cake and eat it too, but none of them are easy or simple. At the end of the day, while this is definitely a useful and desirable feature for customers, it has significant cost for both development time and hardware.

TL;DR this is actually a much more difficult technical problem to solve cost effectively at scale than it initially appears.
Hate speech doesn’t apply to the President of the United States, and you have to truly twist the meaning to get it to apply to your political affiliations. You’re not born with those, to make an oversimplified argument.
I went a few times and they couldn't find anything wrong. It likely just came down to caffeine consumption. My blood pressure is a little on the low side of normal, so hypertension thankfully isn't the problem.
I went cold turkey once. I had a horrible headache that kept me bedridden for a whole day. After that the headache went away but I couldn't keep my eyes open by around noon.

I decided to wean off of coffee and that worked better.
> Cache it whenever I end up visiting the page and be done with it.

DuckDuckGo can't do that because they don't have access to your browser's history and favicon cache, precisely to protect your privacy.

EDIT: This reply is wrong if DDG is the browser.
I personally don't drink coffee to stay up. I find it has an adverse effect. I drink it to start my day when I'm fresh or after a nap.
Switching DC through a transformer is just what you do in a flyback converter, so the two windings of the transformer act like separate inductors to the circuit and the turn ratio sets the duty cycle instead of the output voltage. Tends to be more lossy than a buck or SEPIC converter (though less lossy than a low-frequency AC transformer), but provides isolation easily.

And a motor-generator is far lossier than a flyback converter, they're mostly good for high-power applications where you need to convert from single phase to 3-phase and need isolation at low cost. Even then a VFD (variable frequency flyback converter or inverter) will be more efficient, just more expensive. Though days VFDs are getting quite cheap for their power.
The favicon is an important visual landmark that aids in finding the correct search result in the list.
> The world has changed, and most of the added value of newspapers now comes from contextualization that you seem to disregard to having no value, despite being the higher journalistic effort.

But that's not what most of them are doing anymore. It's not so much context as it is agenda. The stories are written to lead you to a particular conclusion. From right now:

NY Times: Republicans are abruptly pushing Americans to wear masks, despite President Trump’s resistance.

Fox News: 'Looked like the Lone Ranger': Trump jokes about wearing mask, supports it

And that's not even getting into how the stories are chosen or prioritized.

NY Times: Some States and Cities Halt Reopenings As U.S. Cases Surge

Fox News: Media narrative of peaceful Seattle CHOP zone turned upside down

They've chosen sides. Maybe they always had, but it seems more blatant now. They're not even pretending anymore.
>brutal against non-surrendering nations

This is ambiguous about cities or nations that resisted and then surrendered. There seem to be a lot of references to how surrender was followed by everyone being killed or enslaved. I kind of think that's an area of contrast between their standards and today's. You can point to "civilized" countries destroying whole cities in the 20th century, but doing it after your enemy is defeated is much more frowned on.

Also, when you say "beneficial for those who followed him" it elides what it meant when they enslaved the women and children from a conquered population. I don't think they generally allowed individuals to choose whether to be among those massacred or not. And what happened next probably wasn't consistent with modern human rights standards, which again, I think goes back to the original point that started the subthread.
It's bizarre that y'all are willing to discount my experience solely because I happened to make two dollars more per hour and had slight support from family, neither of which come anywhere close to offsetting having to pay $500/month more in rent than the hypothetical to which I replied.

Like, I'm under no illusion whatsoever that I wasn't fortunate. I'm endlessly grateful that I had a family eager and able to help out, and I know that there are plenty of people who don't have that much. That doesn't mean I didn't still struggle. It doesn't invalidate paying that rent, or making things work. It doesn't invalidate being in that situation two more times due to extended periods of unemployment, or when I was later making less than minimum wage and living off my savings working for a startup that ended up failing.

I don't care that a bunch of FAANG employees think I'm too "privileged" to be able to speak about a situation that very much is comparable. Your downvotes do not invalidate my life experiences. Begrudgingly accepting help from family (that, mind you, added up to, what, $50/month, tops? Yeah, real fuckin' luxurious) does not invalidate my life experiences.
> Remind them that it’s not about you.

Unfortunately, as the current coronavirus case data shows, a large number of people here think everything is about them and them alone, so we'll need to make an argument that speaks to them personally. I'm not sure there is one that's universal—as suggested above, asking for their salary might be as close as we might get. That would then leave government employees.
Amsterdam too.

My landlord tried to retroactively raise the rent on me during the COVID crisis, so I got pissed off and rage-browsed the rental web sites, and found a great deal I couldn't refuse:

I just moved from a 1 floor flat to a 4 floor house with 90% more space, backyard garden on a canal, an indoor garage (for bikes and storage since I don't have a car), near public transit, for 20% less rent!

They had to lower the rent 500 EUR a month to compete with all the AirBnB's that were suddenly dumped on the long term rental market.

My previous butt-hole landlord was shocked I was leaving on such short notice, and apologetic for the dick move that he tried to pull, and asked how he could convince me to stay, because he liked me as a tenant. I told him he'd have to at least give me the entire flat upstairs for free, to even get in the ballpark, and anyway it was a moot point because I'd already signed the contract.

Now I am much better prepared for the COVID crisis to last an indefinitely long time, and actually have enough room to get a chest freezer for the garage, for cooking and eating at home, and set up a big separate office instead using my bedroom, for working at home.
Maybe it could be rephrased to:

>However, V8 uses an environment of a single thread for all of Javascript's execution contexts.
I had a somewhat similar trajectory to the author with coffee. I started drinking it in highschool and loved it. I didn't have quite as bad a sleep schedule as him, but it was bad, and coffee was the band-aid. Then I got to college and really went nuts. I used to just get coffee in the morning, then it was before every class, then after class too, and in the evening when I was doing homework. Every coffee shop had free refills, it was so cheap. Eventually I got to the point where I was drinking 10-15 cups a day, and I was starting to have a lot of trouble sleeping, presumably due to drinking it late into the evening.

Then one day I just decided to stop, and it was shockingly easy. I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms, not even a headache, I didn't feel particularly tired. And I started sleeping better so I quickly felt less tired. I think my dependence on coffee was entirely psychological, there wasn't really a physical component to it.

I haven't really had coffee, or any caffeine since then. I went through a period of drinking decaf, but found that even the little bit of caffeine in that messed with my sleep. Or it was just a placebo affect that made me too anxious to fall asleep, still not really sure which it was. The only thing I really miss is the taste, every time I walk by a coffee shop and smell it I get a wave of nostalgia. But oh well, I like sleep a lot better than coffee.
Integrations Platform Key Features
They've also closed the Oshawa GM Plant, and they've reduced a shift at the FCA minivan plant. GM exited Windsor about 20 years ago. If anything the new agreement is aimed at re-balancing auto back to the US and Canada. We had a great automotive relationship in the past, it's mutually beneficial to both economies as there are strengths and weaknesses in the US industry and Canadian Industry. I'm interested to see what happens. I want to see Detroit as great as it was before NAFTA destroyed it.
Notice what's not there. There are very few controls related to aircraft system management. Fuel quantity and hydraulic pressure are about it. No voltmeters, ammeters, fuel flow rate, etc. Didn't even see an exhaust gas temperature or engine RPM gauge.

The fighter pilot needs to be focused on fighting the enemy, not managing the hardware.
