Perfacchi is built specially for developers and has been loved by everybody we started working with during our Beta. What makes it easy is the ability to customise parameters like screen transition, method monitoring, API, FPS and Memory leaks. Developers can add them to their dev or the test build to capture performance on the background which means there js enough context & helps developers to identify performance bottleneck even before hitting the playstore. All this without impacting the app performance & making it close to real time.

We are brining a lot more important metrics to understand activity life cycle management, ANRs, In-app feedback etc,.

Feedback would be much appreciated & we are sure to help the dev teams by adding performance optimization as part of the future sprints.
As a native Staten Islander, I love that this map is actually drawn to scale. While I understand the arguments for the previous iterations focusing on train density, it is nice to see, for the first time in my life, that you can actually see that SI is over 3x the size of Manhattan by land area.
I had the same issue and uninstalled both.

I used to delete manually each container when this happened, through about:preferences container manager, but now there is no more this in Preferences and to remove containers through the Multi-Container extension isn't the best thing.

Tried do that by editing some files too but the hundreds os containers keep reappearing after few days, or on new installations.
compare-and-swap

Compare and swap is interesting. It's a tiny transaction. It can even operate across networks - FireWire had hardware compare and swap support. Compare and swap with retry may have to wait and retry, which is effectively waiting for someone else to stop using a resource you want. So it's a form of a critical section lock.
"one of the only" implies more extreme scarcity than "one of the few", so unless there is some other grammatical consideration I'm missing, saying "one of the only mammals" seems to point more to there being only a handful of species (less than a dozen in total?), while "one of the few mammals" might imply that we're talking about there being few such individual creatures around (which while probably also true I don't think is meant as the focus).
It's more like suddenly realizing there is a spare tire under the carpet in the trunk. Or that 5 is indeed divisible by 2, even though everyone said it wasn't and doctors never bothered to check.
Essentially it is

This one is not hard to audit but in current model should be done by each user.
Hyposkillia: Deficiency of Clinical Skills (2005)
Here's the numbers on South Dakota: https://doh.sd.gov/news/coronavirus.aspx#SD

You can see mortality rate plummeted shortly after the pandemic started and that it has stayed flat or dropped even in the face of the recent rise in cases.

While cases have gone up finally in South Dakota, the mortality rate is still less than a 10th of what it was in the beginning.

So meanwhile, they were open for 9 months. That is well beyond the incubation period for this virus so what changed to cause the spike?

They are still ranked 40th in terms of deaths per million by state. The worst states have been New Jersey and New York, and Massachusetts, by far, who failed to protect their nursing home and assisted living patients early on in pandemic.

Florida is completely open right now. Not only is there no mask orders, there are no restrictions on populations or businesses.

Deaths per day are down and mortality rate is down: https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/#latest-stats. New cases flat.
I think it's a huge step forward that internet folk can discount you now because "all you are" is a gay white man expressing your beliefs.
Wow. Now if they could just figure out why my news feed has said "Something Went Wrong" at the bottom for about the last year or so.
Speaking of Firefox containers, I created an extension that adds an extra layer of convenience. The extension lets you create a default page for each container; something like a homepage for each container. It’s called‘Container Default Pages’ [0]

One thing the Multi-Account-Container does is allow you to redirect a website to open in a specific container. My extension gives the extra feature of assigning the container itself to a default website.

The main use case is when you have a container dedicated to say, YouTube, it makes sense that when you open a new tab in your ‘YouTube Container’ it should go directly to YouTube. Of course you can open other things but the extension provides a convenient default behavior.

Having read about the habits of writers, a lot of writers limit their "writing" to a few hours/day and spend the rest of their time in the business of being a writer. If you're just starting, you mostly need to do the writing part.

Government revenue is a pretty good variable to maximize in an auction. The government can spend that money on "other variables like environment, humanity, morality, future of mankind and the greater good".
Another related topic (which I thought this post was going to talk about): weeding who you follow.

You can form strange attachments to people you follow, similar to people you may listen to on the radio/podcasts or watch on TV. Not that they're really "friends" per se, but you feel like you know them even though you've never talked to them.

Sometimes those people change, and the tone and content of what they tweet becomes less enjoyable. The thought of unfollowing them can be strange, but the day after you do you'll realize you don't miss them at all.
Why do we need it, given we already have containers built-in (I mean in Firefox)?
It sure does :)

There's a couple of options. For hardwired ROM, you can sometimes just decap/delid your target device and check it out under a microscope. Take very high quality pictures, difference 1s from 0s simply by looking at it, and reconstruct the binary data in your computer. That's been done to extract private keys from smartcards (such process was described in the book Murdoch's Pirates, where hackers would pull private keys off satellite TV cards, and use them to create and sell pirated cards).

Another option, more relevant to systems where the data is in regular EPROM/EEPROM/Flash/... is to attack the "read only" eFuse. The attack basically consists of decapping your target IC, finding the read-only efuse, covering the memory area with black tape, and shinning UV light on the eFuse. The photons will excite the electrons stuck in the cell, draining it, and enabling memory reads. At the end of the post I provided a link to Bunnie's blog where he does exactly that on a PIC target device, and manages to extract protected data.
I've been using this feature since I started using Winphones back in 2015.
In temporary containers you can set up what should happen on different actions (left click, ctrl+click, etc) and different domains.

You're putting words into that poster's mouth as you shift the goalpost, but an IQ of 20-34 isn't especially common as IQ is not distributed uniformly. You might have a hard time being informed with a 34 IQ but that applies to all matters. IQ isn't designed to assess political competence nor even one's ability to be informed. Politically it's pretty irrelevant.

What's a "benami company"?
> Once Google became public they were beholden to shareholders to continue to grow and increase value.

That's the extra special thing about Google's brand of evil. They were not beholden to the great masses of shareholders or big institutional money. They have less excuse than some other prominent companies, because Larry and Sergey (plus Schmidt) controlled the company courtesy of their stock class arrangement. They were not beholden, they chose to behave evil without the typical shareholder pressure.

Which tells you a lot about these people.
> They're more like plumbers

I get that. What I find disturbing is that even when some doctors dedicate their lives to study anatomy, we still find a pair of salivary glands nobody has ever documented.

It's not a rare malformation. It's something that's more or less behind each and every human nose on Earth and has been there for thousands of years.
I love asciidoc - it has the potential to disrupt Roam Research.

However, the primary language of development of asciidoctor is ruby. The nodejs port is autogenerated from Ruby and is killing adoption.

In a world where 99% of markdown adoption is through the frontend, this is a harsh reality.

None of the pastebin, hackmd guys want to adopt an autogenerated lib.
I would, it's a very big legacy codebase.
What value are you adding, crybully troll? That you throw labels and judgements around until they're meaningless?

We had older tech parts that had physical fuses that could be observed with a microscope, and in fact, were observed with a microscope during wafer test to verify they had been properly burnt in. So what you're saying it's plausible. I've been out of semiconductor for about a decade so I'm hesitant to speak to something in a modern iPhone.

More interesting to me was how we would package the same part differently and sell it at different price points depending on how much functionality was brought out. You might decap a $10 part with X amount of I/O, cores, memory, etc and a $20 part with Y and find the exact same die. If the testing process was really sophisticated the $10 part would have a defect in the unused portion that made it more economical to down rate it than throw it away, but more often, it was just cheaper to maintain a single set of masks and sell the same die in multiple packages.
I expect HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 will still be with us for decades; orgs that block UDP will be able to continue to do so, and the rare HTTP/3-only website will just be inaccessible.

Even if there's a new killer app that requires QUIC, I imagine an org backward enough to disallow UDP will just not care about that app.
10GBASE-T was actually standardised in 2006. PHY chips were available that year but reaching 100m was very difficult on unshielded cables - the chips were large, high power, expensive to make, 100m was only guaranteed if users upgraded the cables to Cat6A - and the solutions had relatively high latency due to the need for powerful error correction. After PHY vendors had 100m working - an enormous technical challenge - they were not inclined to release an 'easier'/cheaper 10m/30m version, since that would have enabled more competitors, reduced revenues and partitioned the market. But hardly anyone was deploying 10GBASE-T anywhere anyway. So the technology got stuck with low revenues/high prices supporting 100m reach.

Broadcom were making $$ from 1GBASET and were slow to develop/release 10GBASE-T, they held the market back and encouraged SFP+ since they did sell those chips. Intel/Cisco were inclined to wait for BRCM chips. The startups that developed 10GBASE-T (Solarflare initially led, then Teranetics, Aquantia emerged) were not successful quickly. Eventually Aquantia managed to partner with Intel & survived. Both Solarflare's PHY technology & Aquantia ended up being acquired by Marvell, Aquantia for significant $$ last year. Teranetics circuitously ended up as part of Broadcom. The rest of Solarflare was acquired by Xilinx.

10GBASE-T wasn't a good fit for data-centers due to the high
power/latency. So those customers went direct attach / SFP+ / optical. Which drove those prices down, and made them more attractive, further delaying 10GBASE-T volumes. Data centers got used to expensive cables, (relatively) cheap/simple low-power, low-latency transceivers. 10GBASE-T was a solution looking for a problem.

Eventually the 2.5G/5G Ethernet for Wifi back-haul opened the copper market up - those technologies reuse almost everything from 10G. Also automotive Ethernet too.
Chip/power scaling and increasing volumes for Wifi/ datacenter deployments has eventually driven down the cost to a point where 10GBASE-T is becoming more widespread/attractive.

The initial sales/marketing strategy for 10GBASE-T failed, sadly, and it has taken a long time to recover.
I'm really sorry to hear that this is happening to your family, and hope you have a good attorney.
For me:

First, getting on a streak reduces the suck. Breaking the streak and getting back into it multiplies the suck.

Second, have no thoughts about the suck. Let it leave but a whisper in the mind. Dismiss it as quietly, casually and quickly as possible and get to the next thought, or no-thought.
I wish instead to live in a society that doesn’t have low-level court appearances to incentivize.
That is one of the fundemental flaws in Google's aproach, and one of the chief reasons I do not use it.

I often hear people say "When you search for XXX the first few results are YYYY" to make a point. What they are telling you about is their bubble.
BackBlaze publishes good data, although I suppose that other manufacturers (such as Dell) make storage appliances with vertically mounted drives thats a data point that they at least think its okay-ish.
Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: discrete categorization of life is going to be messy, but that's our fault; humans are obsessed with discrete classification and attempt to apply such classifications to systems which aren't so simple. Clearly monotremes are similar to other mammals in many respects but very different in others. In trying to determine whether or not platypuses are mammals, you're really question the nature of the manmade discrete category of 'mammal', not the nature of platypuses themselves. Platypuses remain the same no matter how we choose to classify them.
Maybe someday a giant will push UDP broadcast. That would be neat.
Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Go Build Something. Just Not a Dick Pic Filter
I'll give it a go. It's a nice argument, but it's needlessly negative, almost for show.

Consider the claim that's it's a loss if the company shows poor returns. If it had good returns, the anti-auction folks would claim some small group is getting rich off what used to be a public good. Poor returns for the company means that the auction is limiting the plunder and that sounds like a win to me.

And why is this a loss for the government treasury? If the returns are poor, there wasn't much more juice to squeeze from the orange, right? So it sounds like the government (and often the taxpayers, sort of) are getting as much as they can for very little work.

I'm much more sympathetic to the deeper arguments about structure of auctions and how they might be improved. Why not auction the spectrum off for a shorter time? Maybe use smaller chunks of spectrum? The auctions are just a competitive algorithm and they can become more accurate with finer resolution.

> It suffices to send the source code on demand.

Not quite. From [1]:

> If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later.

So if you don’t send the source along with the binaries then you need to make a written offer to your users. However, [2] states that:

> If you make object code available on a network server, you have to provide the Corresponding Source on a network server as well.

So you can’t publish the binaries online but only distribute the source via physical media, for example.

Is there a particular reason you just have to use the "best" product even if it is highly unethical? Why is it not okay to use a product which is better than Google2010, which we were amazingly happy about back then.

In other words, how does ethics feature in your decision calculus?
Fun article to read but using incompressible flow as an assumption is extremely dangerous. The main effect of the assumption is that density does not change which is not the case for airfoils, particularly near the wake which usually ends up as P_0 (ambient pressure). It would be even more awesome if the author left NS in it's standard form and add the new deep learning PDE solvers [1].

Writers, unlike most software engineers (save those who work on open source) can readily share work samples with potential employers. Other than that it should only be a matter of getting your resume past the filter that requires a writing or journalism degree. You also didn't specify what you meant by writing jobs, so it's hard to give more detail.

Writing seems like programming in one respect: if you can do the job you can be hired, regardless of your education.
The companies still found ways to avoid taxes, but I guess that is a tautology ;) Say you are selling a wide menu of choices like an enterprise offering or better a restaurant. You can offer that appetizers are free as long as each individual orders at least two drinks. Make your appetizers salty and fried and it creates a (un)virtuous cycle of ordering more drinks.

Companies tried this exact strategy in India. They made the bandwidth cheap and moved revenue to ancillary services - ringtones, song libraries, ... Telecom authority ruled that all revenue falls under revenue sharing and the supreme court finally ruled against the telcos after a long drawn out battle.
That's more true than false.
I used `tput bel` after everything I want to get notified on if its running long. Extra good since it works over ssh as well.
Firefox iOS has a "Tracking Protection" feature which will block ads that do more aggressive tracking. It's on by default but I recommend toggling it onto strict mode for best results. You can also use Firefox Focus to apply the same functionality to the default Safari browser.

The thing with the most potential on iOS is Lockdown, a local-only firewall which filters network connections from any application. It'll break apps like Facebook Messenger if you turn on all the options. But again, it's focused on trackers, not ads specifically.
TL;DR:

> Without fanfare, the federal gov't has moved its two largest biometrics databases to Amazon Web Services' GovCloud. Hundreds of millions of U.S. citizens' fingerprints, irises, faces and other biometric data rests in AWS, and now biometrics on enemy combatant do, too. -- https://nitter.net/Frank_Konkel/status/1318739973160509442#m
I generally agree, but there is of course a third category of frequency band besides FFA and auctioned, which is various "legacy interests", military and others pretending they need each about a gigahertz worth of prime bandwidth fully alone or the sky will fall.
I love this. Simple, direct, comprehensive. The only thing that's puzzling was how much space was devoted to describing the main menu - even in 1994 I feel that's pretty self-explanatory.

One year for 10 people is pretty crazy - some projects that amount to adding a button and some new logic to an existing web UI can take at least that long.

AGPL scares away both users and contributors. I would not touch either with a 10 meter pole.

So no, it's not the best license.

Case in point: This story is about how someone would rather not use the product at all, than be subject to the AGPL. Same with me as an employee, and as a hobby individual.

AGPL is good at one thing only: scaring away people.
> Top down market design is the highest virtue of all even though hundreds of millions of very poor people might have suffered for academic theories of a few.

Can't stand this snarky, melodramatic rhetoric. I might as well talk about millions of very poor people suffering because they lack clean water and healthcare which the government could have provided with the revenue from spectrum auctions.
In iTerm 2, I have it set up to play a sound when certain commands finish, but it hadn't occurred to me that having hold music while the job is still processing could be useful.

Sorry about that. My marketing hat is my shabbiest hat. I've been posting nearly daily updates to twitter. If you follow me there you'll have almost as real time a view of development as my cats.

If that's anathema, what's your preferred method of hearing news? Mailing lists? My email address is in my profile, I'll write you personally when it's done if you email me there.

That goes for anyone.
The point by the parent is that Chrome was a moat (as was Android, that's why they bought it and pursued mobile in the manner they did; Android was a subsidy program to protect the search monopoly moneymaker), which Google used to ensure the position of search, to ensure that search was unassailable by competition. In the case of Android, Google was terrified of being leaped or replaced in the shift to mobile, inflection points in the landscape are when monopolies in tech are at their most vulnerable. The parent's point was not that search wasn't already dominant, it's that Chrome helps to protect that dominance.

Microsoft used the exact same tactic repeatedly. It's one of the cornerstones of any dominant corporation, to build and leverage moats to keep competition at bay.
It doesn't assume it's always impossible. If you think the problem with the current summons/warrant/arrest system is "unscientific", then I invite you to consider what kinds of effects mandatory court appearance between 9 am and 5 pm have on low-income defendants.

I'm not aware of any jurisdiction in the United States that prohibits employers from firing workers who have to appear in court. But I totally understand why "respecting the legitimacy of the courts," while nice in principle, doesn't match in comparison to putting food on the table.
