Sine I'm European, when you say urban amenities, what exactly are you referring to? Here our biggest problem with moving out of the city center tends to be the lack of sewage system so you have to pay to truck your tanks away which can get costly( and septic tanks are illegal).

Application Penetration Testing Guide
I got my Oura ring in January. I have insomnia, so a few times a week it is giving me the red warning on restfulness and not enough REM sleep (less often not enough deep sleep).

I'm working on an EEG to get better sleep stats, and then with that data, do real-time sleep interaction/management.

I can't quite put my finger on why I like the ring so much. I don't need it anymore, I know I don't sleep well, having it tell me that isn't helpful. Yet they've done something really well.

Hi all, Founder and CEO of DuckDuckGo here. I’m literally just waking up and reading the comments here.

I’m new to this issue and happy to commit us to move to doing this locally in the browser and will have us move on that ASAP.

That said, I want to be clear that we did not and have not collected any personal information here. As other staff have referenced, our services are encrypted and throw away PII like IP addresses by design. However, I take the point that it is nevertheless safer to do it locally and so we will do that.
If DDG cannot fetch the favicon in different, reasonable way, then the question is whether or not the ability to display a favicon in search results is really worth it.

Personally, no.
Google: stripmines everything. Would collect your soul if it could[0]. DDG: favicon fuckup. And you can't see the difference?

That’s why I said I was surprised. I just can’t understand how anyone, let alone what I assume is a team, could write auth code without reading the spec to see what every parameter does. Even if you weren’t paying attention I feel like you shouldn’t miss that one, right?

Is that full stack overflow development where some one is copying and pasting things they don’t understand?
I disagree, or maybe we read different responses, but the ones I read where more critical of how (a) ddg (employee) handled this.

Didn't see anyone claim that this was on a google-level of bad, more like pointing out that google started out as a small company wanting to "do no evil", but slowly turned into what it is today.

Is it really that weird that people are worried that this might be the first of many small steps down the slippery slope?
>>> It’s also surprising to see MS has mistakes like that in the auth flow.

Having worked on authentication code across companies, this is really the typical kind of mistakes one sees. Nothing special to MS.

It's not even a simple stupid bug, like allowing open redirections. There was some checks on domain and an abandoned whitelisted domain that could be acquired by a new user.

created a new issue to track this again: https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/issues/876
> But... the reaction here is "they made a mistake, let's pile on like kids in a playground" ignoring the genuinely huger issue of the amount of info and mining that google et al. do. There's no measure of proportion in the responses, someone is making a mistake then there's a wolfish, pack-like desire to get stuck in and hurt someone.

Sadly people simply derive satisfaction from piling on like this. The pop psychology explanation is that it's because people are dissatisfied with their own lives and are lashing out at anything that allows them to vent that underlying frustration. It sounds plausible, but it also sounds like it might be an over-generalisation.

I think it's certainly fair to say - as depressing as it is - that it may be somewhat in our nature to behave in this way, that most or all of us may possess this characteristic to a greater or lesser extent, and that the current political, cultural, economic, and media climate is only serving to amplify that tendency.
The UK was 17.5% VAT for years.
Ghee, whiz, whod'dathunkit that opening up access to papers would lead to more people having access to papers which they'd then use to write more papers in which they cite those papers they read.

Even if you have institutional or individual access to the likes of Wiley or Elsevier it is usually far easier to just feed the DOI to Sci-Hub and read the paper instead of jumping through all the hoops to get 'official' access. This goes doubly for those who, like me, use whitelists for cookies and block third-party content (including cookies) since it generally takes a few attempts to convince the paywall that you just logged in for the umpteenth time and can I now please read that paper please? Nope, thou shalt not pass!

aw shucks, I'll just get the thing off Sci-Hub again.
Very good point! Shame on these writers, I hope they edit that at the least.
Off World Live | Senior Typescript Engineer | UK | Fully Remote | Full-time / Part Time | https://offworld.live

Off World Live is a small team of artists and programmers working on an Unreal Engine plugin for streaming interactive 360 video in realtime from virtual games worlds. We were recently behind the 3 36hour + live streams of the live virtual club night Club Quarantaene.

The core plugin is written in C++ / HLSL, but we are increasingly building out web infrastructure -- both frontend and servers to handle customer's interaction with our streaming pipeline.

We are looking for somebody with at least a year's experience in Typescript, more than 4 years in Javascript and at least a year in modern React to help us with:

- Building a new node.js service for improving live interactions with our 360 live streams

- Maintaining our stream management interface

A real plus would be for somebody with knowledge of Go as we have other parts of our core infrastructure written in Go.

More broadly we are looking for somebody who:

- is easy-going and fits into our flexible, relaxed, open-minded team

- is interested in pursuing relatively independent medium-term researched based projects / tasks

- is curious about software and systems in general

- has visual attention to detail especially when building UI

We think you would particularly enjoy this if you are interested in games, art, virtual worlds and novel interactions.

We are currently part-funded by an Innovate UK SMART grant so only apply if you have a UK national insurance number and the right to work in the UK. We are fully remote so location is unimportant.

We particularly encourage applications from diverse candidates.

Email us info@offworld.live with your CV.
But we are not. It is just the same reply parroted in multiple places without responding to the actual criticisms.
Why We Built Our Culture Code Early as a Startup?
All good points. As discussed in that doc it is very tough to define and measure democracy, and as with many fields of knowledge there comes a point at which the laymen have to trust the experts.

Regarding item 10, the UK has FPTP but political parties other than the biggest two are nevertheless able to wield significant political power. Even if that weren't the case I wouldn't call it a tautology. Rather I'd say that the tendency of FPTP to lead to a two-party systems is one of its democratic flaws.

Regarding item 40, yes: most people would say that preventing crime is an essential function of government, but many countries value rehabilitation over punishment. You're correct though that there's some ambiguity about the meaning of "punishment". Without delving into the World Values Survey itself it's hard to say much more.
no, it is more than that. It's a framework that performs build-time optimization so that those open source projects bootup faster (e.g. move configuration to build-time) and compile natively (e.g. setup reflective accesses automatically or remove them altogether at run-time). Libraries usually provide a "Quarkus Extension" to do those optimizations.
Maybe because they're looking for a time overlap during work house in the same timezone. Probably not a fully remote company, most people working from the timezone or even city.

Yeah, there is one exception in the product stack after many years.

But they're still sticking super hard to lightning, making everything more complicated than it needs to be.

> But complaining about downvotes isn’t a useful contribution either. I just felt, again, like commenting.

That was just an afterthought in my post, to show how extremely people were interpreting the post, despite there being a very valid point if you read it at 80% intensity instead of 100% intensity. The point of my post was valid discussion of Apple.
There's a bit about the variability here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/docs/...
That argument is good, and is an example of the type which Bruce Schneier makes in The Eternal Value of Privacy:

https://www.wired.com/2006/05/the-eternal-value-of-privacy/
The use case I was going to suggest was a safe browsing list. Possibly also something like Have I been Pwned. So, yes, there are valid reasons to have a backend but they are very narrow and privacy is key when building them.
I believe some of the conceptual simplicity of the "olden web" is missing in the age of leftpad.
Facebook's role in Brexit — and the threat to democracy [video][2019]
The fact that you didn't doesn't prove you shouldn't

I'm not from US. I don't know the technicalities, in Italy for example you should declare who's residing in your house, even if it's a no paying guest

Many don't, but it's still a requirement

BTW the point was anonymity is not about being anti social, it's about hiding your true identity

If you stay home and never talk to anybody you're being secretive, but probably are not anonymous (police can still come and knock at your door because neighbors called then since you came in and never went out, for example)
If you speak in a public form in response to something that seems damaging to the reputation of the company in a way that is probably even more damaging to the reputation of that company you are either an official spokesperson or way out of your depth. Pointing that out is a service, not a sleight. And yes, if this is not in an official capacity he should either keep quiet or run it by the PR dept. People have lost their jobs for far less. Anyway, I've pinged @yegg, hopefully he can shine some light on this.
> enjoyed the cultural aspects.

Getting laid.
The recommendation is ignoring the reality of the world. How can developers handle authentication when authentication is not allowed on their company domains?

Measures like filtering/whitelisting are always pushed back in my experience because it's legitimately preventing developers to support authentication.
“My problem with quips like these – as right as they are – is that they accept the premise that privacy is about hiding a wrong. It's not. Privacy is an inherent human right, and a requirement for maintaining the human condition with dignity and respect.”

Tell me which laws apply to me, here and now, by which regulators.
Or why wear a motorcycle helmet since there's still a chance you'll sustain a serious head injury and die if you crash? Like you, I find the extremity of the GP's point of view lacking in wisdom.
Haha, amazing to witness. This is the problem with catering to this crowd: your audience is suddenly full of people who just want to see you fail. Good luck, DDG.
> We didn't have walled gardens and we were fine.

I was about to say your memory of 20 years ago is very different from mine, until I saw

> We had nasty viruses back then too, even some that would cause physical damage to your hardware.

If that’s your idea of “fine” I’m not sure what to say.
Environmental issues are one thing, your own situation, needs, comfort and enjoyment are other factors.

Individually it won't make much of a difference, if it's about climate change or CO2 reduction you need a national plan and billions of investments in e.g. getting rid of coal power or discouraging energy waste on e.g. bitcoin.
In Spain too
What Is Monte Carlo Simulation?
Thank you, this is the response people here want to hear.

And if this gets fixed in a reasonable timeframe, this is just one of those "everyone makes a mistake one in a while"-things, no big deal.
As someone who believes that Brexit will damage UK society, I would argue that this is certainly not unique to proportional systems.
The elegance of using a static URL is that you are not really keeping the state - you instantiate all possible states and let the user traverse them according to whatever state they happen to be in (and able to see).

I'm not sure, their Publisher Agreement seems to also have been very recently revised to remove some very strong prohibitions against trying to gather your subscribers data on your own so maybe they realized it's a bad idea - do you know what information is included in the csv ?
You are glazing over a huge piece of the puzzle though.

A Touch screen UI can be upgraded without changing any hardware. No new knob panel.
I kind of like the other conclusion: Impact Factor of the journal is not associates with the number of citations. IF is an important point in this bussiness. I've been in some job screening in which they aggregate your papers according to the IF of the journals (like one paper in a 1st quartile journal equals three papers of a 2nd quartile).

But according to this data you could publish in a 4th quartile that if your paper is interesting, free to download and with some figures, it will be read and cited.
wow, didn't know that, thnx for the heads up.

Time to check what my ubiquity router is up to once I get home from work.

We used to do three weeks “off-grid” camping with a Volvo, no problem (assuming a roofrack as well for the tent). Nowadays we could probably do it without the roofrack as tents are considerably lighter than they used to be.

> I even logged in using incognito mode

This doesn't do what you think it does.

When you go to facebook.com incognito means you wont give them any of your normal cookies so facebook will be all like "Who is this guy???"

But then you log in, so facebook goes "oh I see it's
lokedhs! welcome back!"

Incognito mode is designed to be undetectable. So from Facebook's point of view it looks like you signed in just like normal, and they will give you content just like normal.
The data collection page is well-written and clearly explained. However, I still dislike like the idea of enabling 'anonymous telemetry' by default.

The problem of growing a programming language is one shared by many programing languages. Languages like Nim or Crystal have arguably even smaller programming communities than Julia. These other languages have not decided to pursue the option of telemetry to track usage (at least, not yet).

There are other ways of measuring the adoption or popularity of a language: libraries, courses, books, tutorials - they are not neccesarily accurate, but they give some insight.

Anyway, if this telemetry feature goes ahead, I think the clearest way to do it is as follows:

- When installing a package, the user is informed that anonymous data will be sent to Julia's servers. Make it clear this data transmission is optional.

- There is a link to the data collection/privacy page

- There should be a clear link for users to see all the data from their computer that will be transmitted before it is sent.

- Users can accept or decline the transmission of data.

- Users can choose to bypass telemetry consent for future packages

- Somewhere in the process above, there should be clear instructions (or a link) telling users how they can switch on and off telemetry at anytime.

This sounds like a lot. But at least by being clear and upfront, users can make an informed decision.

I realise it might seem churlish to complain about data collection when developers use tools and services that track their usage on a daily basis e.g. Visual Code by Microsoft or Google's vast (non-anonymous) services. But why stoop to their level?
If anything, it's much better than 'no big deal'. It's "We made this design decision, thought you would like it -- we've learnt, changed, and will avoid it later".

Can you imagine Google doing something similar? Heck, they're just about to throw the Android rooting community under a hardware-attestation DRM-filled bus.
Thank you Gabriel. This was what I expected.

I imagine that Google is waiting with bated breath for the day when their user base is large enough that they could get away with this, and are sitting, all day every day, with their finger hovering over the button.
