Yup, you're on the money here. In fact browsers should make accessing the data stored by sites and modifying their permissions drop-dead intuitive, even for non-tech users and those with more knowledge should be afforded further knobs to tweak. This kind of UI might be a bit hard to design and require some thought, but I think it is quite possible, and I find it surprising that even after all these years, the dialogues and preferences dealing with examining and controlling the storage and execution of websites and apps to be poorly thought out, obscure and very clunky.

I can understand why Chrome might not want to improve in this regard as its parent company's interests directly conflict with more user control of web data, but amazingly, if anything, Firefox's settings for auditing and restricting websites is even worse. And none of the browsers, AFAIK, have taken the initiative in this area and tried to really differentiate themselves.

I suspect they think no one except a few tech users will be interested in these knobs, but the thing is, if you make them prominent, easy to use, understand and intuitive, I bet a lot more people will start using them.
There are no crimes where it is reasonable to be lenient to a first-time offender. It's a matter of intent: Lenience is given to accidents (usually still only the first occurrence), which may or may not have caused a crime.

What they did was to silence a security researcher, produce marketing material with falsehoods, and as a result ultimately damage their customers by allowing a security vulnerability to remain present, and not raise alarms afterwards that customers need to ensure that they were not exploited. They actively decided that harming their customers was okay if it allowed them to avoid attention.

This is not an accident, but an intentionally committed crime. No lenience is warranted.
The electromagnetic FEA software I use runs 30% faster on Intel processors (given same core and clock speed), and of course it uses MKL. Thus my reason for an Xeon W-1290P for a recent PC build, not to mention the faster clock than AMD.
Looks like the proposal to fix this was merged into the standard in April.

A person who don't believe that it is hard to get ahead without cutting corners is more trustworthy. It isn't about the validity of the claim but what it says about the person.

And in many fields it isn't hard to get ahead without cutting corners. In fact it is easier to get a job at Google or Facebook if you don't cut corners and learn your theory properly in school instead of just studying for the test or cheat.

Edit: Changed harder to easier. It is easier to get a good job if you don't cut corners during your education.
Kneron’s New Edge AI Chip Is 2X More Power-Efficient Than Others
I see and partly agree with your point, but to be fair to the author one interesting advice he gives is to use not only a less dark color but to choose a hue and increase saturation, so it's not just a "neutral" less dark grey.
I dislike this attitude. The idea is to convince people that unsolicited (mental health) advice is pointless and the behavior change the author would like to see is for people to stop giving these clichéd wisdoms.

But that's not a universal position. Personally I've benefited immensely from exactly this kind of unsolicited advice, especially at a younger age, and it really did help me.

What this kind of work suggests is an attitude of, "My problems are so [explitive] huge that you can't possibly understand so don't even bother trying to help me". Well maybe you are the unlucky bastard with 6-sigma problems, but more than likely you're actually an average person with average problems, and should be grateful for the average words of encouragement (because that's really what these clichés are, they don't actually care if you take up yoga, they just want you to know that they're encouraging you) from your average friends and family.
Individuals aren't generally the target of class-action lawsuits or giant billion dollar judgements to force a collective behavior change (or just outright bankruptcy) of every driver in one judgement. They could do this once big companies become responsible for a large number of "drivers" at once. I am also hopeful technological progress will be allowed to win out, however.

> There would be a large cost for changing all your tooling and processes that rely on the CVS model and in training your programmers to use the new system.

When git seems to be by far the most used system on the market these days, isn't training any new hires in CVS going to be at least as much of a problem? I used it in my first job in 2003 / 2004, but I can't remember how to use it now.

> Apple's entire business model for decades is about selling hardware and services, not advertisement.

No, Apple's entire business model for decades was about selling hardware.

So-called "services" are a recent development, and IMO not a welcome or pleasant one.
Yes. It might help to can think of it this way:

Rust, with the borrow-checker, strong-arms the developer into using memory patterns that the compiler manage handle without the overhead of reference counting or other runtime mechanism.

Those same memory patterns are available in Swift as well, which the compiler can then optimize as well (in theory -- as far as I'm aware there are various unimplemented optimization opportunities in Swift).

So in a sense, in Swift you can opt-in or out of rust-level memory management.

Of course, a big difference is that Rust tells you up-front when you've got it right, but in Swift it's not at all clear. You need to profile. Swift does have a clear delineation between reference types (which use ARC) and values types, so you can get on the right path by choosing value types. Value types in Swift are very rich and powerful so it's not a hard path to follow.
An orientation in 4D can be represented by a pair of quaternions. If you want to rotate (change your orientation) you would multiply one pair of quaternions (representing your current orientation) by another pair of quaternions (representing the rotation) componentwise, yielding a new orientation.

This will not gimbal lock.

Regarding using 4x4 matrices: This will result in unintended shears and stretches due to rounding errors. Renormalising the matrices will be complicated and expensive. Also, interpolation will be more complicated and expensive.

Generally, identifying as <political label> usually involves ignoring the parts of reality that go against the narrative. Each group has a story, which is a simplification of a selection of real life, optimized to be viral (otherwise they would never have become a large group).

If you realize this:

- first, your former allies will denouce you as a traitor;

- then your former enemies will offer you membership, because it seems to them like you want to switch sides;

- you refuse, now both your former allies and your former enemies are angry at you;

- you spend some time alone;

- then you find people who are not playing the game, and they become your new friends;

- finally you realize that people not playing the game are actually a majority of the population.

Well sure, that's equivalent to just changing the timezone. There are places in the world that don't use DST where the timezone is such that it's not dark when you go home.

But yes, we agree, it's good for it to not be dark when you go home. Not only for psychological benefit, but I would bet it would prevent a lot of accidents and crime on the way home as well.

Why is it just the compiler maker’s job to report it may (read: will) underperform on AMD and not also the program developer too? If I paid for software that performed worse on AMD because it deliberately hobbled itself (and was not informed), I’d want a refund.

It’s straight up anti-competitive, but consumers aren’t smart enough to understand that it’s a problem; A consumer just sees biased benchmarks that show Intel outperforming AMD, and then choose Intel.
Last count I heard was 32, it's hard to track at this point. David Dorn's wife gave a speech about this recently:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/david-dorns-widow-speaks-a...

He was one of the earliest victims of the looters. He was black and also a former cop.
Hmm, the article about Vrba says he escaped in April 1944 but it took months for his report to be published. Meanwhile the Soviets encountered their first concentration camp around July 1944 time as well. So it sounds like his report came out more or less concurrently with the Soviets discovering Madjanek.

The page does say that there were previous reports, but one was only in Polish. The other apparently did end up with the British and American governments, but that's a long way from most governments knowing. And even when the allies started discovering camps it was censored for a while, supposedly to avoid upsetting people with missing relatives. So I guess the information hardly travelled far, and not outside US/UK war offices.

The Independent article seems to be conflating different things. Jews started fleeing the Nazis even before they fully assumed power. The comments about the Empire being full are presumably related to that. Wanting to indict Hitler for war crimes hardly required knowledge of concentration camps, so I'm not sure it provides so much evidence.

I guess there's surprise, and then there's formally knowing. I referenced a German woman who said she "knew" but what she meant was she wasn't surprised when she learned. I guess that was how a lot of people reacted.

Interesting links though, thanks. I learned some new things about WW2 today.
The media spin going on regarding Kenosha is crazy. If I hadn't seen the videos of what happened, I would have assumed it was a white supremacist shooting peaceful protesters, not someone who was being attacked and only shot when he couldn't get away.
How about not exceeding the speed limits.. most people on semi empty roads tend til exceed limits just a little bit.

Some classic conspiracy theory quotes: "we met with alien life for the first time, but did not report for fear of disciplinary action".

Also, what are the real odds that the first guy would've been ordered to not shoot a helicopter snooping on nuclear arsenal for three nights in a row? I imagine you'd get shot down immediately if you as much as tried to enter the vicinity of a military zone.
Removing posts by elected officials is running really close to foreign interference in domestic affairs. Given the history of the East India Company, I am sure India is especially sensitive to foreign companies trying to influence or curtail the speech of their elected officials.
I had a look at the video, but I don't think there is backpresure in this benchmark since there is only 512 connections max and each connections wait for the server response before sending a new request. So in other words the load generator never send more request/s that the server is able to handle. (tell me if I missunderstood backpressure)

Ctenophores are a nigthmare to study. They self-disintegrate at the slightest touch and aren't well adapted to low pressure environments. Pieces of an animal being dragged from a storm before to fall again does not count as a realistic way to spread.

If you mean that they could have an extraterrestrial origin, is really unprobable IMHO. If there is an animal badly adapted to survive in the space is this.
The union fought hard for that right.
I think the opposite. Use infinite timeouts for outbound calls. If you're an interactive application, display progress/activity to the user. Allow the user to manually cancel. If you're a server application or system, maintain an operation wide timeout and, if you do time out, propagate cancellation.

Systems I work with that have a default timeout are a pita. You end up having to make pointless retries when you'd have been happy to wait.

There are exceptions. If cancelling and retrying is has a decent chance of routing around the original problem. In that case, a timeout makes total sense. The other case is if you have a workload where operations tie up a mixed set of resources (e.g. threads + blocked backend calls) and only some of your incoming ops are dependent on the blocked resource. In that case, timeouts make sense in that they at least allow you to make forward progress on the unblocked requests. Although tbh separate queues and thread pools is the safer way to handle this. Because your caller with the timed out calls is gonna keep retrying and eventually these retries will crowd out the requests that can make progress in your incoming request mix.
You might not do it, yet all of that has been possible with handhelds for the last 15 years.

After a lot of delay, it's here and we plan to use this module to develop small REST API, websites and maybe even our future package manager!

It can handle servers with get, post, put, delete routes, with functions to treat the received data (may it be route parameter or query body), and on the client side it handles proxy, basic authentification (login password or token), timeouts, headers, parameters (for application/x-www-form-urlencoded / writing user=hey&pass=nope more easily) and much more.
indeed, but if that same person wasn't raised comparatively wealthy would he still be a jerk? I suspect yes - a counter example, many people are raised wealthy but aren't narcissistic, and I know of people with narcissistic traits that aren't raised particularly wealthy, and indeed are comparatively poor and yet those traits come out. They have brothers and sisters that aren't narcissistic and yet given the same environment etc they behave like so.

It would be fare if it wasn’t a monopoly. Only if other companies could create their own app stores that worked on iPhone the customers would be optioning. In the current state of affairs there is no option.

Remember there was a time you could only phone people in the network you were a subscriber. It is not the same, but a similar situation here.
His bottom line "when you find #000000 in your color picker, ask yourself if you really want pure black. You’re probably better off with something more natural. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try staying away from the left edge of the color picker altogether" is much less radical than his title "never use black".

I think this more subtle statement is fair advice to beginners in design, who might sometimes make an unreflected choice of black or not be aware that shadows aren't just black.

So in my opinion it's probably bad advice for more experienced artists like you, but it might be very helpful advice for somebody else.

You speak of false equivalences after equating Android with iOS... There are countless different Android distros. Most Android phones can be unlocked easily and/or are sold unlocked in certain markets. All software components are swappable. The OS can be run entirely Google-free, if you want. The Play Store is default, but optional. Sure, the mainstream hardware manufacturers sell preinstalled Android distros that require a bit of menu diving in order to enable free software installation, but there's little that's stopping you, as a customer.
