How to Install OpenCart with Nginx on a Debian 10 VPS
This kind of thing is pretty cool, but I’ve learned to avoid them, because they can result in A) BIG clumps of code, and B) testing issues.

I used to have a special shell script that I wrote, that used lipo to combine multiple binaries into an aggregate library. I probably still have it around, somewhere. I was fairly proud of it.

Also, I had to use static libs, which wasn’t a problem, as long as I didn’t mind a big executable that couldn’t be trimmed.

Over the years, I’ve learned (the hard way, since I’m a stubborn knucklehead) not to “end run” around Apple’s prescribed methodology.

Now that Apple has wrapped Swift Package Manager into Xcode, it lessens the need for “clumped” binaries (for internal projects).
>And I'm really irritated that I can't access local news sites in America because they aren't compliant -- so they blanket ban European access. That's deeply problematic.

The usual answer I get when I complain about this is either "It doesn't happen to me" or "They wanted to steal your data. You're better off without being able to use their site."

I've yet to be convinced by either argument as a European. It's almost like a knee-jerk reaction by some Europeans that if Americans do something we don't like then they're automatically in the wrong.
I sort of think this kind of behavior is problematic. I also do it often, but for example Gitlab offers some level of tracking: Necessary, Functional, Performance, and Personalization with the first three preselected. there is also a Show details for more information.

I see no reason to turn off Performance and Functional in most cases.
> because you're paying for specialized 24/7 dev-ops teams whose only job is to keep these systems running smoothly, and by definition they're already familiar with running workloads orders of magnitude bigger than yours

This is based on faith — there might, or might not be a specialized 24/7 devops team who runs these things better than you.

My rational mind has trouble accepting things based on faith, which is also why I don't trust RDS: I don't know of any way to run a distributed SQL database without data loss (neither does Jepsen), so why would I expect RDS to do this correctly?

Using those services does provide a warm and fuzzy feeling, though.

This research is interesting because it's highly relevant given Apple's upcoming changes to tracking consent in iOS 14. Unlike the DNT[0] header Apple are in a position to enforce apps actually respecting the users consent preference, either by technical means or by kicking offending apps off the App Store. The walled garden has many problems but this is one of the benefits. Given that almost all apps and websites have implemented GDPR's consent management in a supremely user hostile way[1] that is far from an equal binary choice I suspect we'll see much higher opt out rates in iOS 14. I've seen people argue that users will just continue to click accept at high rates as they do with current consent management solutions, but I think this is the wrong analysis. Users click accept precisely because the amount of effort required to opt out is unreasonable, when both options require equal effort the number of users clicking accept will plummet.

I do agree with that, these kind of retaliation laws have to be codified and be precised. But that's not something uncommon outside of tech, countries will implement trade sanctions if they also face trade sanctions from other markets. Banning apps owned by the CCP seems a fair approach regarding on how they behave.
Block any third-party cookies, and then block third-party JavaScript alltogether. Problem solved.

Oh, there's nothing like that in the so-called "HTML standard"? Maybe, just maybe, Google being the standard body might have something to do with it, when Apple have been blocking third-party cookies for years now [1], and is in the progress of banning browser APIs that can be used for fingerprinting.

Best of all, this might rollback all those HTML5 APIs that have no business being shipped with browsers, and bring back the web content we want.

I think dominance and control do play a part in tech holy wars but it's not everything.

Power structures within tech communities ossify and the community itself can regress in their abilities. And so this means that technologies can sometimes get worse over time.

So that can create conflicts between old tech which is proven and reliable and new tech which is not proven and can be unreliable.
World Herbs Clinic Parkinson’s disease herbal FORMULA helped my dear husband. I feel so bad for him because this is a hard disease and he tried and tried and gets so frustrated. Over 2 months plus now maybe or so he has been taking this product and he is doing good. I see it happening too. He is happier and buttons his own shirts now. My husband is a good guy and we have been married for 51 years. This disease takes a person away slowly and it painful. But now my dear husband is more like himself again. He is more spry and has his wits about him. I think he is more sassy though, but I count all as good, as before he just really stopped talking. Now we talk again and I missed him so much. Thanks to World Herbs Clinic for this product. We don't have much time left in this world and you have given us more time together. Thanks again. I hope this review works ok and that I do it right. I am not good on the computer. This website will tell you more about World Herbs Clinic.(ww w worldherbsclinic c om).

It really shouldn't be possible not to display that button on the first screen, because opting out should be as easy as opting in. Unless the first screen also doesn't have an 'accept' button, but I've never seen that.
Sounds like this is aimed mostly at unit tests, and the way we tend to roll testing into CI/D.

I prefer test harnesses and “monkey testing.”

> say Nazi Germany in the late 1930’s

I'd say Nazi Germany in the late 1930s was more of an anti-Jewish intellectual society, more than an anti-intellectual society pure and simple, the reason being that them being mostly a technocratic State they highly needed those intellectuals, engineers and technicians. One of the many proofs is the work of von Braun, without which us as a species wouldn't have gotten to the Moon as fast as we did. The same discussion goes for Soviet Russia, with some exceptions (mostly genetics-related work, where the politruks intervened in a very harmful way for their scientists).

IMO the only true anti-intellectual regime that I know of from the 20th century is represented by Mao's relatively short-lived Cultural Revolution in China, a policy which was pretty quickly reversed.

I remember switching on and being at the desktop in .. I don’t know, 5 seconds? Consistently as well. No random waits.

Apps opened so fast you couldn’t perceive a delay between double clicking and then appearing. New windows for apps also instant.

The only times I noticed waiting was when doing something that legitimately seemed like I should have to wait. A big operation in a paint program. Starting up a game.

I think this consistent ‘zero delay’ came through firstly the fact that lots of the OS was in ROM, then the tight design and coding of the OS, then perhaps that the ARM CPU was pretty fast.

Running RISC OS on a Raspberry PI natively it’s still just as snappy for normal operations. Things that take significant CPU are also now fast thanks to the several hundred fold increase in MHz.

I’d love to see another ‘personal computer’ OS appear which focuses on making the UX feel like it’s all working hard real time (or as close as it can) so that we can get back to the joy of feeling that the machine is consistently predictable in how it responds. Today’s ‘personal’ OSes feel more like driving a car with automatic transmission, steer-by-wire and several mechanical problems that cause it to randomly fail to respond in the expected time or just do something entirely different.
Emotions aren't random. To explain how someone suffers from something does explain his anger.
I think in the situation you're describing, with a prototype being the difference between the business existing at all or not, you could justify all manner of sins. If you had a prototype already 90% done in COBOL it would potentially be the right call to finish that off - that doesn't mean using COBOL is the right thing to do in general. To use a common HN term, that is a situation where it is perfectly sensible to acquire technical debt, just as their are non-software contexts where it is financially sensible to acquire a bit of regular debt for a while. It doesn't shed any light on whether a lack of tests is technical debt.

(What you've described is a classic problem of junior devs trying so hard to do the right thing that they don't step back and ask why that is the "right thing" in the first place and whether that actually applies in their situation. I like to call this phenomenon the "overenthusiastic amateur". At least it tends to go away with experience - unlike the underenthusiastic dev who doesn't care what the aftermath is so long as their code works long enough for them to move on to the next thing!)
And a large proportion of that 9% is tricked with misleading labels on buttons.

Vine wasn't that long ago - eight years ago we were at the beginning of the hype cycle.

Nobody heard of it until Twitter bought it and then it was only people that care for Twitter that knew what Vine was. Only a minority of these people saw the point of Vine and only a minority of them thought to record a 'vine' for novelty value.

This minority may have appeared to be 'everyone' for the teenagers of the time. But Twitter was not for the teenage demographic. Think of the most famous user of Twitter - Donald Trump - and how old he is and how skilled he is with technology. Okay, he is an outlier, most Twitter users are younger but not that young.

When Vine was getting started the wider web industry were encouraging clients to get a social media presence. Adding Vine videos was never seriously proposed whereas hosting actual video on Youtube, Vimeo or even Instagram was very much part of a social media strategy.

The money just was not there for Vine with the silly six second limitation. Those that had made a name for themselves making content were able to move elsewhere and to 'grow up' into longer length video that did bring them income.

Vine was a failed product once the novelty wore off and the other social media applications had offered their own ways of hosting files that needed a video CODEC to play. Twitter had the good sense to close it down, moving with the times to have video work just fine in the main Twitter product.

There was absolutely nothing to do with China in any of this story. The Chinese Communist Party did not have a fight with Twitter about six second videos so that their all conquering Tik Tok could take over the world. That is an absurd idea. The only conclusion as to why Vine had to go was because it was not profitable.
> I wonder if you can make micro machines at this level? The MEMS thing.

At this size range, though state-of-the-art MEMS (mechanical vibrating frequency filters for RF receivers in phones, accelerometers) can have sub-100nm dimensions, basic accelerometers, pressure sensors, and inkjet heads are absolutely doable.

> Not with this PDK or process, no. MEMS processes are quite specialised.

But yeah, this is the problem. Although ICs and MEMS devices are made with similar tools, MEMS usually needs processing steps that don't play nicely with the steps in an IC process (e.g., etching away huge amounts of silicon to leave gaps and topography, or using processing temperatures and materials that mess up ICs). This SkyWater process cannot do MEMS.

A more general problem is that different MEMS devices often need different incompatible process steps, so a standardized process is infeasible (though http://memscap.com/products/mumps/polymumps tries).

However, there is a tiny chance that, if we get enough detail on the process steps and leeway in the design rules, a custom layout could implement a rudimentary accelerometer or something that works after post-processing (say, a dangerous HF bath), but only with intimate knowledge of said process steps (e.g., internal material stress levels) and a lot of luck.
Both valid points. Thanks!
Sure I do. I opt into any kind of "voluntary user experience research" tracking that a lot of desktop apps offer. As long as a website does the same thing (and doesn't try to gather PII to tie it to my identity), I'm also open for it.
Anecdotal counterpoint: I too skipped three grades (early ones) and ended up in college at 15 (and then on to grad school at 19); and based on how I reacted to boredom even then I am deeply certain that if I hadn't been accelerated, and just given "enrichment" or whatever, I would have checked out and washed out. Meanwhile, I certainly had a different social trajectory than your typical teen-20s-30s person, but that was probably a foregone conclusion.

But, anecdotes.

> I wonder if they lack good ways of measuring this.

The rest of your post implies that you wonder that because you had a bad social experience; but the study is not claiming that people who are accelerated have good outcomes. It's saying that acceleration-or-not doesn't covary with psychological outcomes (which is basically what's going on in your "grass-is-greener" comment)—your life could suck, or not, but either way it's not because you did or didn't get accelerated.
This is nonsense. I mind Google data hoarding as much as everyone else, but if a website or app uses a Mixpanel type tool to see which features people use, then I don't think that's immediately evil.
Straw Man Argument – Why people get away without answering the question?
Why would anyone consent to be tracked if given a real choice? What are the benefits? The 9% look like an error.
I personally see as usual business of the internet. Every country has their rights to regulate internal markets and every company need to decide how many markets to cover.

Personally I like GDPR more than no-GDPR and think that it would be nice if the US had a GDPR compatible regulation (as in the EU and the US diplomatically agree that it is enough for US company to respect the US regulation and for European companies to respect the GDPR to be compliant under both). On the other hand as laws stands I appreciate that they take this law seriously, even if not in the way I would like most.

Overall I do not think that losing access to local US news sites warrants remaining in a GDPRless world

One of the things I've never seen a proper history of is how badly the UK failed to win international support. Yes, the area south of the Equator is explicitly excluded from NATO. But the UK got nothing whatsoever from anyone, except maybe a bit of technical assistance from France against the Exocet missiles. And yet the failure of the US to assist didn't impair the rather one-sided "special relationship".

If you have open-source design tool (including schematic simulation and verification), I think you will have open-source tool for physical verification. Assume that we still use rule check standard from Mentor Calibre, Assura.

> Thinking about it, it's a good thing that node isn't too advanced. It reduces the design rules complexity by a few orders of magnitude.

The complexity depends on process. The smaller process, the more complex. There is thousands of rule check even on the old process (180nm, 130nm...).
The Freegans–The Ultimate Recyclers
Communication between teams is handled by team leads talking to each other - where I’m at we have standups each day within teams, and then every other day those are immediately followed by team leads having another standup where the focus is on what teams are doing, rather than what individuals are doing.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot more efficient than the previous state of every individual developer needing awareness of what every other individual developer is working on at any given moment.

I would say that it means 9% of visitors "click away" any banner they see without reading it.

And usually clicking "yes" will do away the banner in the most hassle free way.

I am surprised the number is so low.

I surely click "Yes" on any banner immediately without reading it.

My guess is that the number was so low because his banner (by its simplicity) looked unusual enough that many people read it.

With the typical spammy pseudo consent banner, the number would probably be much higher. Even without dark patterns. People are just trained to click yes.
I would go the other way with it -- the problem is we don't have a low overhead system for anonymous micropayments, so ads are the only competitive way to offer a service with a very low cost (and thus price) per use.

If there was an easy way to anonymously pay the site the five cents they get from the advertiser without incurring 500% payment processing overhead then would sites even be using advertising?

But then we get to much the same result. What we need isn't new privacy rules, it's to delete the old banking rules that prevent efficient payment systems from operating.
