Australian government and more specifically Rod sims, the chair of ACCC should get some counselling. Really good counselling. They clearly don't understand how publishing works and have a biased understanding of who is benefitting from this relationship.

However, the entire Australian media has been nothing but puppets controlled by murdoch. The one true less biased source is ABC which has been muddied by constant federal government censorship and budget cuts almost to a point where independent journalism and Australia cannot be spoken in one sentence.

I hope they move forward with this code and I hope that both Google and FB remove news from their site so that newscorp can die quickly. It a shame they are doing this. Come next election I am voting against both SCOMO and the likes.
I agree. That is why the article for this post is so odd. It links to many pages that do not support what is being stated. It's almost as if they chose 100 random places to link, possibly from only looking at the first hits on google searches.
Not sure if this is appropriate but if someone from Microsoft is reading, the domain premium.outlook.com is not working. It looks to be linked from many support docs like https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-your-email...
This may not kill the large newspapers, but surely it will destroy the local newspapers. When does a tech blog become news? Can you even share anything on the internet through Facebook?
You'd think people would look at the initial healthcare.gov mess and make some conclusions.

One of which should maybe be "Don't strictly isolate teams, with unowned space between their output and the next team's input, and no method by which post-delivery failure reflects back on them."

Some ideas might be taken from what happened in Santa Fe New Mexico. Their art boom started in the 1910s, real estate went high in the 1960s, climbed even higher through the 1990s.

My understanding/recollection is the living vital artists bought cheap mobile homes with propane tanks and water cisterns and stuck the homes on incredibly cheap land scattered across Northern New Mexico. Walled the exteriors with adobe when they had the chance and built adobe additions later on. They then went deep into historical New Mexico culture(s) for inspiration. For example, their life blended organically with their art, as inspired by the Puebloans who, although they produced objects of great beauty, had no word for “art” in their languages.

The PR in the 1990s was that there were more artists living between Santa Fe and Taos than were in Paris at the time. Santa Fe became a leading arts market (still is), and de facto artists retirement village, where aging artists redirected their efforts on developing a lifestyle, rather than product. Did a fine job at it, too.

Might be worth contacting those elders still living in New Mexico to pick their brains about what worked and what didn’t. There was probably a good reason the 1960s SF hippies started their 1970s communes in Taos, etc. Pro tip: if you follow that trajectory, skip the drugs...they are most likely a dead end in many senses.
I hate watching the nurses typing on the keyboards that they wheel around from room to room, and touching patients after touching the keyboards. Especially considering that those keyboards are not easy to clean, and just standard dell keyboards. It's absolutely disgusting.

The fact that it's _years_ too late to save Fairfax reinforces this IMHO.
Python -m venv in your project directory. Then source ./bin/activate. Pip install from the project directory as your regular user (no sudo). You can also set up venv (virtual environments) in home or somewhere else instead of for each project. This is called python virtual environments and very easy to adopt.

>Is it the App Review process’s role to be the arbiter of what is and isn’t good UI?

As their customer, that's part of the reason I prefer to use some of their products, yes.

Not necessarily as an arbiter of good vs. bad UI, but if they have some clear and explicit UI requirements that are generally agreed to be the baseline UI requirements for an app to be accepted into the App Store, I am all for those requirements to be actually enforced.

They aren't asking for some arbitrary and vague things in terms of UI design, like "the flow of the app should be intuitive and cohesive". They are asking for very basic things like "your app should be minimizeable". It is a very explicit and clear requirement with pretty much no room for ambiguity.
Does anyone in high-income countries use something like that? It is worth nothing that the software product itself is only a tiny part of implementing most enterprise software projects.
TLDR: LE is worried about about ring doorbells recording them.

Warning from internal police bulletin: IOT Cameras... “If used during the execution of a search... LE personnel could have their images captured, thereby presenting a risk to their present and future safety.”

I was under the impression that LE did not have any right to privacy while engaged in official activities, furthermore it’s unclear what reasonable basis LE might have that images of them engaging in official business would represent a risk to their safety. Sorry, but part of being a member of LE is that you may be recorded while doing your job.
I have never really understood how Python dependency management got broken in the first place. The basic model is the same as the basic Unix shell model: you have a path, which is just a list of places where executable thingies can be found, and whatever wants to execute the thingies looks in each place in the list, in order, until it finds the thingie it wants, or it bails out with an error if it's gone through the entire list and can't find what it's looking for. In a Unix shell, the list is $PATH (or maybe $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, since most Python dependencies are libraries); in Python, it's sys.path. Installation of an executable thingie then is simply a matter of "make sure this ends up in one of the places listed in the path". What is so hard about this?
Good point. Adobe Acrobat (which is what I had in mind) also doesn't seem to be.
Aurelia – Unobtrusive web development framework
Epic just unveiled a new user interface for nurses trying to address this exact issue. The problem, and another commenter pointed out, becomes everybody has a different idea of what they need quickest access to, and many hospitals want to customize to fit their existing workflows, even when that’s not ideal for speed of use.
Immutable Infrastructure as Code. Docker containers are the modern gold standard. You can get fairly far on a stock OS with a combination of vendored binaries/libraries and virtualenv/pip, but containers are much simpler.

Another product, perhaps - but not this one. While they're cagey about giving actual numbers - the rendering that Dave of EEVBlog found was of a 100 microwatt device, about the same size/volume as an AA battery.

At 100 microwatts, that's apparently just enough to drive one segment of a watch LCD display[1].

I'm concerned about the gradual move from GCC to LLVM. The lack of copyleft protections on LLVM means that it's much more dependent on corporate sponsorship, and means that there's a risk that major improvements to LLVM compilers will only become available as proprietary products.

People underestimate the role of copyleft licenses in preserving long-running FOSS products like GCC, Linux, etc.

Thank you very much for sharing that. I'll look into it more. The clinicians (head of trauma Evidence-Based Medicine as well as the head of the trauma department overall) I have talked to at my non-academic Level II trauma center do not have any clue this exists. They are currently exporting thousands of records by hand.

I mean existentialism literally gained popularity post WWII. See how much more popular Neitszche and Kierkegaard became many years after they had died. Camus, on the other hand, was celebrated during his lifetime.

Is it so absurd to think that the pandemic is probably one of the worst events many people today have ever experienced? One of the reoccurring themes of existentialism is that individuals form their own meaning, a meaning that may be radically altered if they've lost their job due to the pandemic, have been hospitalized due to the pandemic, or have lost someone to the pandemic.
The Model 3 is just 3 years old now so the inventory of 3yo models is going to be statistically insignificant. How many people are going to buy a 40k 3yo M3 if they can actually get a brand new one for 44k?
For context, the root cause to this is actually in Debian, not setuptools (or pip). Debian vendor-patches the stdlib distutils, which setuptools used to depend on, but lost in v50 since it does not depend on the stdlib distutils anymore.

This issue was known for quite a while, and IIRC more recent Debian (and thus Ubuntu) versions contain a fix. But the change was not backported for other reasons I am not personally familar with.
If you're seeing connections from random residential IPs, they're probably using a reverse-proxy service like Luminati or 911.re. IP blocklists won't catch these.

Gen Z is weird. Most young people are very accepting of LGBT peoples but stuff is starting to turn around back to homophobia now that transphobia is Hip And Cool again (thanks J.K. Rowling[0]), because many feminists are invalidating transgender women in the name of equal rights. Transphobia breeds homophobia. I worry sometimes what will happen if young people too become trans-exclusionary feminists but thankfully it's unlikely such a thing could occur. Young people are more open-minded now and discovering they're transgender themselves.

I should add that I'm not quite sure exactly how the trend of homophobia that you speak of is hitting younger people. I haven't noticed a shift backwards in real life or on-line. If you're referring to social media homophobia you should realize that "zoomer humor" is radically different from typical humor and many kids will sound like a deranged homophobes/racists/sexists until you realize that they themselves are gay/black/female and are making jokes at their own expense. That being said, ask before assuming they are or aren't joking.

Sorry, I agree with you. I like named parameters as well. I meant the overhead of having to type them is pretty much entirely offset by a good IDE that fills them out for you. I don't think there is a downside unless you are coding in a text editor.
Most data-related problems, or extraction of knowledge from data, simply doesn't benefit from Deep Learning.

In my experience, what many organizations lack is simple but high-quality "Business Analytics": Reporting & dashboards are developed that look good but jam too much information together. It is often the wrong information:

Something is requested, and the developer develops exactly what was asked. The problem is that it wasn't what was needed because the person making the request couldn't articulate the question in the same terms the developer would understand. The request will say "Give me X & Y" when the real question is "I want to understand the impact of Y on X". The person gets X & Y, looks at it every day in their dashboard, and never sees much that is useful. The initial request should always be the start of a conversation, but that often doesn't happen. A common result are people in departments spending tons of time in Excel sorting, counting, making pivot tables, etc., when all of that could be automated.

This is part of the reason why companies often go looking for some new "silver bullet" to solve their data problems. They don't have the basics down, and don't understand the data problems well enough to seek out a solution.

>The ACCC presumes that Facebook benefits most in its relationship with publishers, when in fact the reverse is true. News represents a fraction of what people see in their News Feed and is not a significant source of revenue for us

News may not directly contribute much ad revenue but it surely is a huge driver of engagement on the website, which in turn indirectly keeps people engaged with the facebook ecosystem at large. Political commentary involving news pieces certainly seems to be a feature on Facebook's most popular pages.

Also I haven't figured out yet what part of the law actually would imply that Facebook needs to blackout news wholesale. As I read it the law merely requires that Facebook negotiate with each publisher.
That's an interesting theory, but not true in practice. Common Lisp IDEs are great and don't have any problems with macros. Even going back to the 70s and 80s, with Lisp machines.

Using Slime, the Common Lisp IDE mode in Emacs, there are at least four ways to answer your loop questions:

1. Ctrl-x, Ctrl-/ to look it up in the Lisp spec

2. Alt-. to jump to the definition

3. Alt-x slime-macro-expand-1 or Alt-x slime-macro-expand-all to see what code the macro generates

4. Execute it in the REPL and see what it does.

Option 1 only works for things defined in the standard, obviously, but options 2-4 work for everything.
How do you guys put up with this level of arbitrary and have your livelihood depend on it? I am working on a new business plan and cannot work around that we most likely absolutely must have an ios app. And if that app is rejected our business might fold once we are on that path. It just feels like an insane amount of risk to engage with a very money hungry company with capricious rule enforcement.
Use your OS to install the stock Python and the stock setuptools, wheel, and virtualenv Python packages. Then make a virtualenv for every single Python application (virtualenv ./some app/). Then make a requirements.txt file with the pip packages you need and their version numbers and install with ./someapp/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt. If you do something bad, rm -r ./someapp/ and start over.
I though the same way: It's better if everyone else has one. But I don't think it'll play out that way.

You'll benefit from the additional safety.

On the other hand, if there is an accident involving you and the other car is a self-driving car, the assumption will be (and the manufacturer's lawyers will argue) that you, the human, are at fault. It might even be the case, but I suspect it'll be more of a guilty-until-proven-innocent situation regardless.
The main reason goes well beyond tech companies, to all large organizations. In the workplace, leftists are more discriminatory regarding political ideology. People on the right are often willing to hire and promote people on the left, but that graciousness is not reciprocated. Leftists fire Trump supporters. Over time, this leads to complete control.

There are minor reasons too. One is that many tech workers are young people fresh from university indoctrination, but without children and mortgages. Another is that many tech workers come from outside the USA. Besides that fact that many non-USA places are more leftist, there is a selection bias caused by the fact that these people are not dedicated to staying in their own countries; they are fundamentally more globalist than the people that they leave behind.
It's intended. Talk to the hand about the bone.
Python has never used semantic versioning. There is a long history of small, breaking changes between "minor" releases of Python. Eg, Python 3.7 made `async` and `await` global keywords, breaking any case where old code used `async` as a variable name.
I don’t like FB as a company. However I have to admit, they are correct that news organizations benefit the most from this relationship. Why doesn’t google do the same thing? Don’t index news sites. Googles response seemed less effective than FB’s.

Facebook can remove news and it will minimally effect engagement. I wonder what happens to the publishers when they lose 2.3BN clicks.

Tbh I think FB's comment here is too binary. It seems to me they're implying that news needs to either be free, or they will get charged "unlimited amount". I'm sure other industries have faced a similar issue (e.g. music?) and have implemented a workable solution that benefits both parties (the aggregators and the creators).
