It's a shame you're being downvoted on this point. I absolutely agree with you and think you're absolutely right. Modern digital advertising is absolutely incompatible with privacy and trust.

The entire point of advertising is to emotionally manipulate people into making purchases. Targeted advertising requires gathering and abusing data about people.
I’m neither an architect nor a software engineer, but every six months or so I flip through A Pattern Language just to help imagine buildings I’ve never been in. It’s a beautiful book.
This is exactly something I intend to add to my document storage platform... I have some notes about it here: https://www.fideliusvaults.com/roadmap/. There's a balance of security and convenience that I've been calling the 'paranoia scale', and this sits on the far end towards 'least convenient, most secure'.
I love 1Password.

Something I could do without though is all of the GUI animations & transitions. They create time delays, little waits that add together that introduce unnecessary delays. Sometimes I just want to login, and I want to login now.

I think these are cases where it's going to depend on what is most natural for each individual, especially when used for mnemonic purposes. Whether the acoustic or articulatory similarities feel more salient is going to depend entirely on your own mental model of the language. It's common to see the unvoiced dental fricative realized as /f/, even in native english dialects, so if that is more natural for you to remember, there's value in that.
But their hosted / proxy solution effectively makes them a gateway for you (albeit HTTP only)?

Instacart Shoppers Besieged by Bots That Snatch Lucrative Orders
A bit like Disney Legends/Imagineering [1] and Ub Iwerks. Ub created Disney with Walt and drew all the initial cartoons even creating Mickey Mouse, but took a long time to get recognized because of a falling out when Iwerks went to MGM [2].

Eventually Iwerks returned to Disney making amazing imagineering tech, but wasn't added even in the first batch of Disney Legends in '87.

Ub Iwerks wasn't included in Disney's "Nine Old Men" either. [3]

Maybe the best strategy is to tip low when placing the order, then increase the tip after delivery to reward the guy who needed the money enough to take your order with a low tip.
Early days, but looks interesting.
is this "actualized $73MM in gains from selling AAPL shares" or some backdated math like "at the current price, the amount of shares he's sold are worth $73MM"?
This strikes me as unethical.

The way I think about it: any matrix multiplication consists of the linear combination of the column vectors of your transformation matrix, with each column vector 'weighted' by the the input vector's x, y, z, ... n values.

VSCode is not open source, VSCodium is.

VSCode includes extra twitter/microsoft spyware (or "telemetry" for those who prefer that euphemism).

The "VSCode" binary you download includes unknown proprietary extras.

Fun fact : VSCode official home page used to have the motto "Open Source", now it is "Built on Open Source" (check on the wayback machine if you don't believe me)

I guess the MS legal team was afraid of keeping lying about the openness of VScode yet they knew Open Source is a good buzzword to attract devs so they played with words.

This is the typical big corporate approach :

Step 1) Say you develop an Open Platform so that you get many users and free contributions.

Step 2) Once you own the market and people are too addicted to switch, bit by bit make it proprietary, add more spyware.

This is the story of Android , VSCode, ONNXRuntime, and many others.
Koyaanisqatsi – Ending Scene
No worries! I had a feeling that's what happened.
Two remarks:

1. > Right handed, z forward through the nose and x through the left ear.

Interesting, in aviation engineering the convention is different: the body frame has x forward (positive rotation around x is right roll), y to the right (... pitch up), z down (... right yaw).

2. The best reference (reference, not explanation/textbook) for this whole spiel (rotation matrices, Euler angles, quaternions) I've seen is a paper by Diebel, Representing attitude: Euler angles, unit quaternions, and rotation vectors

What are peoples thoughts about firefox lockwise? I have been using keepass for forever but I want something that easily syncs between devices and doesn't require copy/paste in to the browser. Lockwise seems perfect but I haven't used it much yet.
he didn't get any of the ~600m from the otto sale. It was entirely based on earn outs from progress, and there was no progress, and none of the milestones were hit.
I agree; and unfortunately I found self-hosted vaults to always be a bit challenging to get right, if I wanted to use my vault on multiple devices. The local-network only sync engine never worked for me, so I ended up using another third-party's servers to sync anyway. I signed up for 1password.com a couple months ago and it's been painless. To each their own!
There's no real difference, so don't spend valuable time on that.

Perhaps when we eventually implement karma sharing for posts of the same article, the system will pick up cases like this and give earlier submitters a share.
Great post, thanks for writing this up. I'm relatively new to the industry and have already been feeling annoyance/fatigue at the IT/agile "culture" (experienced at a failing startup and now at a large corporation) My fiancé and I are hoping to move out of the city before long, and I hope to find something as interesting and unique as what you're doing. Feeling inspired and hopeful that I can find a job that uses programming/technology but isn't a "tech job."
I second this. KeePass is awesome (across all platforms)
Welcome to unequal justice. Black people and women have suffered this for centuries.
I think the trump government has proven that the executive can do whatever it wants, and you're lucky when governments follow the constitution.

Following examples of different behaviour from the past 20 years:

The US can kidnap you,
Ship you off to Guantanamo,
Torture you,
Assasinate you with a drone based missile

I read an interview with CBP folks where they consider the Portland protestors "enemy combatants" which is the same designation as "civilian killed by drone strike" in the middle east

From a low level, more likely perspective, they might leak your information to white supremacist groups, and then choose not to press charges when they do something bad to you? This is assuming you're black, mind you.

When my wife and I watch a film I only go to shows with the large seats, which are reserved and I can get food and alcohol brought to me. So they price they are quoting is worth it to me and still comes out cheaper if I get to watch in the comfort of my home. Even for a small family in general seating this is still cheaper than tickets and movie snacks.
No, because leaving that comment counteracts brainwashing.
I think most people saw the opportunity, but just didn't know how to properly capitalize on it. At least that's where I was. I wasn't going to take delivery of any oil, that's for sure. At least nothing that stood to make anything significant from. Then, there was also the whole contango thing too.
I've had that happen with crystal oscillators that I ordered at nonstandard frequencies. The vendor gave me a heads-up when my customer placed subsequent orders for production. "Hey, just FYI, these guys appear to be cloning your product."

I thought that was nice of them, as they were under no contractual obligation to decline orders from anyone else or to let me know about them. I guess Levandowski would have a different take on it.
I'm the same way. The most important parts of the KeePass ecosystem to me are:

1. It runs on every platform I currently use, as well as any platform I might care to use, whether or not that platform is sufficiently "popular" for a company to justify caring about it.

2. It isn't dependent on the continued healthy existence of a company to remain usable, as I could simply self-maintain in a worst case scenario.

These are very important things about a password manager to me, personally, which is why any of these more polished/popular options would be an extremely tough sell.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this is only possible on Android, right? The video linked by ultimoo shows an Android, and my perception is that iOS sandboxing is much tighter.

How can Instacart combat this? They can't require iOS among their shoppers. Is it going to be an arms race of heuristics and anti-cheat code like it is for games that want to prevent aim-bots?

Or they could start running their own algorithm on the back-end, release juicy batches first to shoppers that haven't gotten a good one recently.
The home page took over a minute to load for me. How is this being served? seems like you could optimize this.

Well one difference is you just login with a password and you have access to all your passwords. Whereas with 1Password you use the long key to set up a new device, so it requires either memorizing that key, writing it down, or having a different device with that key on it.
Godot encourages use of "Containers" for layout, which adapt to sizing/content on the fly: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_...

While it is possible to hard-code widget positions, with the Container-based layout
method the values in that file actually get completely ignored & recalculated on the fly.

The fact that the values end up in the file at all is something I consider a bug/implementation flaw.

In Godot a UI Control has an "anchor" setting for each of left/right/top/down margin which affects where the margin value is measured from in relation to the bounding box. So (hand-waving a bit here), e.g. for, say a margin value of 10px, for the left margin an anchor value of 0 means "inset 10px from the left margin of bounding box" and with anchor value of 0.5 means "move left 10px from center of bounding box" and with anchor value of 1 it calculates relative to the right-most margin. (But for right margin an anchor value of 0 means "calculate relative to right margin of bounding box, and, somewhat confusingly, I think requires the value to be negative to "inset".)

What this means in practice, is that if you use an anchor value of 0 for all margins, even when you resize an element you don't need to adjust any of the margin values.

Unfortunately Godot (and Containers--even though they re-calculate all the margins themselves) default to an anchor value of 0 for left margin and 1 for right margin which means the right margin is a non-zero value & gets re-calculated & updated/save every time you adjust the layout.

In general the layout system works pretty well & is flexible but it does have some slightly confusing aspects (and in the past at least some implementation bugs) and is somewhat difficult to explain in text. :) (And it would definitely benefit from even more detailed documentation--than what it currently has--in terms of the "sizing flags" that determine how multiple Controls occupy/share the space available.)

So, in short: Once set up correctly, Godot UI layouts generally adapt well to different text-widths, font sizes and window dimensions.
Is there a reason why instacart even allows you to pick orders? It seems like this exploit can be stopped just by only letting shoppers look at the first few items of the queue, and limiting the amount of skips.

> In the past 10 years, I'm sure there have been multiple times when I've gone more than 30 hours with cellular service or WiFi.

In the last 10 years the longest I went without Internet was during trans pacific flights, so never longer than 15 hours. I think this level of connection —- basically intermittent connection during the entire waking hours —- is super common in today’s society.

If I was disconnected for longer than 30 hours w/o prior knowledge of being disconnected it would mean something seriously bad has happened to me, and it would be nice if my next of kin had access to all the documents they would need to settle my affairs.
Don't just tease the subject, share some highlights!
for example if my last activity is eating, then I won't eat for 24 hours, so I can trigger the alert after for example 4 hours

The author appears to be an individual who digitally documents events as mundane as eating. I don't think going days without an internet connection is a big risk for him.

Personally I just keep an encrypted flash drive with all my passwords and documents in a safe. My whole family knows the password but they don't know the combination. If I go missing they can cut the hinges off in minutes with my angle grinder. They can't access it without me finding out and hypothetical burglars wouldn't be able to decrypt it. Simple and doesn't rely on any external services.
I'd agree with you, if I hadn't worked adjacent to the financial industry for a bit. There are a lot of companies with liberty in the name (not even just US based), and I've mixed some up, even on technical issues.

Obviously the "name" isn't the issue, or maybe it is, it's possible they worked with this person in the past, and it never occurred to them to check the current employer, because it usually doesn't change that much, but once you end up working with customers in an emergent industry (separate experience in analytics, yes the past two decades is emergent), you'll find you have a customer who after a few quarters is on to a new job, but still your customer!

There are so many ways for these wires to get crossed, I'll stick to Hanlon's razor, but modify it to not be about malice, but to be about confusion:

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by confusion.

And if there's any chance I get something named after me, since this pattern is cute, let's call Clover's razor, any aphorism that takes on the form "Never attribute to X that which can adequately be explained by Y."

Great idea, very useful resource.

First suggestion: make 0 results look different in https://motherboarddb.com/advanced-search/results/e1afe77e-f... -- way too many elements there for an empty list.

Secondly, it'd be a good feature to have a "None" option for drop-downs, as in, if I would like to find a motherboard without audio chip on it.
Users say they want this, but then people get upset when list filters don't automatically update the listing when you click them, or when you have a set of drilldown cascaded dropdown and the first doesn't automatically filter the second, or when inapplicable widgets are visible that should be hidden when inapplicable.
I appreciate it, it really is something worth investigating because it is a problem that affects the entire planet basically (looking at the amount of active users that social media have).

The most fundamental questions I could find are:

Loneliness occurs only in logical intelligent beings or also in animals?

Loneliness is something created by our mind or is it something physical like the lack of a resource such as water, food, air? (maybe some of our organs release some harmful chemical when we are alone for a long time, I don't know, something similar to adrenaline)

How long is the maximum time that a person spent alone and what symptoms did he present? (This could guide us if loneliness causes physical damage)

If loneliness does not cause physical damage, then do we do the damage ourselves? Why? Perhaps our sexual reproduction cycle is related to this? But then, Why do the elderly also suffer from loneliness if they have already passed their reproductive stage? And what about children?...

But the fundamental question:
Can someone survive alone? If the answer is yes, I immediately leave my city and go to live in the forest, it is not a joke.

How can one be sure that the passwords are even encrypted, without having seen the program?

Audits don’t mean much for various reasons, including the conflict of interest.

Agencies such as NSA don’t have to say loudly that they have agreements with such and such companies through PRISM-like programs.
why not just tip them in cash?
They don't need to become inhuman machines, they just need to understand that their words have effects beyond the obvious.

You might not want to joke about blowing up the plane while you're standing in line at the X-ray machine, and you might not want to joke about conspiracy theories (or stock prices, or buyout offers, or pedophilia, or Kanye's presidential campaign, or...) when you have reason to believe that people will take you seriously. If recent history has taught us anything, it's that large numbers of motivated morons are nothing to fuck around with.

Then you'd also incentivize workers to take orders with low tips and be disappointed when they really get a low tip.

Seems more fair to me to require the company pay their employees a fair wage and benefits rather than redefine those that work for them as contractors to dodge those obligations.

We are working on this at Wren (YC 2019) — reforestation and regenerative agroforestry are very effective methods for sequestering and offsetting carbon. The more people that support these projects, the bigger scale they get.

Most of the coal and oil we mine comes from a time before microorganisms could efficiently break down lignin and cellulose. Now that such organisms exist, trees alone can only temporarily sequester carbon. I guess planting more trees gives us some small buffer, but even were it significant it's not really a long-term solution.

Maybe. It has some defenses against keyloggers. The local data is encrypted so the attacker would need your master password, which hopefully you wouldn’t have stored in plaintext on the same machine.

Regardless, the idea is still that a secure password manager would put you in a better situation more often than would a plain text file, cloud notes, physical notebook/sticky, etc.
