Am I alone in thinking he isn't entirely correct? To my understanding with GDPR (I'm no expert, just on the developer end trying to adhere to it), he has all the right to get a copy of the data, as well as have that data be transferred to another controller.

He does, however have no say in the exact data transfer protocol used for the transfer. If Spotify wants to disable an api and shut down production resources, I don't see how a GDPR request can compel them otherwise. As long as they prepare all the data, and allow for the transfer, then they are complying with GDPR. Even if the API at some point existed, it doesn't mean they are required to maintain it.

The other side of this is that Spotify's answers were perhaps too earnest in detailing why. When arguing it is against their ToS, it doesn't really fly with GDPR anymore, because that implies they have everything in place, but they don't want to. They could have just said "we'll compile all the data and facilitate a transfer on your behalf", and the user really wouldn't have the slightest case.

So to sum up, my take is that both are wrong. Spotify in arguing its against their ToS (it doesn't fly). And the emailer arguing that they are entitled to Spotify enabling their api (they aren't).
This went from a cloud / local app to 100% cloud only storage. If you have a library of content locally that you have NOT submitted to the cloud storage, then it won't show up on the update.

I went and used time machine to get an old version of the app and removed the upgrade.yml from the contents of the app package as well, so it won't auto upgrade.

This was a really bad handling of the upgrade. It is unrealistic to expect that someone with a large enough library of content locally to also put this all in the cloud for storage. I have a curated library of content so I can work offline.
Is srcset commonly used? I am not familiar with it but I'm more full stack than frontend and often feel like front end moves faster than I can keep up with.

In high school, I drove a 1993 Toyota Tercel. It was a functional, reliable car, but it had no keyfob to lock the doors remotely.

Getting out of your car, pressing the lock button on the inside of the driver's side door, and shutting the door are all routine, boring actions that make it easy to forget your keys inside the car. The keys can go in all kinds of places as you climb out of the car - jacket pocket, pants pocket, center console. It is very easy to lock your keys in your car.

I quickly learned to hold my keys in one hand, say out loud, "Keys in hand," and then lock the door with the other hand.

This technique is perfect for any repetitive action that could go wrong with non-trivial consequences, and there's lots of that in everyday life.
> Think you're mixing up parallelism and concurrency. Other databases with connections that support pipelining can easily get to high concurrency even with a single core. The key is the cpu can kick off 100 queries to a single connection and just wake up when a response is available.

Which RDBMS implement a protocol with tagged queries? I don't think that's common. From my, quite fallible, memory, the DB protocols supporting pipelining all just do in-order query execution. As I mentioned before, postgres does support that.

The TCP connection piece of a database connection isn't really expensive - that's the transaction and query execution state. These days (used to be different) it's not that hard to write an application handling 10s-100s of thousands of TCP connections, as long as most of those aren't continually sending data.

Obviously that's where the process-per-connection limitations for postgres come in - having that several 100k processes isn't really a good option. Not even just because of the process overhead, but even just the context switch and process scheduler overheads become more and more debilitating.

But even if postgres' connection model were switched to many-connections-per-process/thread - you still need to have the per-connection state somewhere; obviously transactional semantics need to continue to work. And the per-connection transaction state is where the snapshot scalability limitation the article is talking about was. So the snapshot scalability issue needed to be fixed before a connection model switch really made sense.
I have mixed emotions on this framework. If you're doing a simple project, Next is the best around. Also great for marketing pages, etc. But if you have a more sophisticated app, with an API, page routes that need to toggle based on cookies, etc, then you have to integrate something like Express. I've done this several times with Next, and it just doesn't pay off. I've also tried to use it at work, but it changes rapidly, and it'd be too much to expect engineers who aren't keeping up with everything on the clientside to know what to do.

I feel like there's a need for something between roll-your-own and what vercel is offering.

It aggregates content from a library's e- and a-book vendors, integrates with the library's ILS for patron access, and provides access to the content. It provides all this content to library patrons for checkout and downloads via a mobile app (iOS and Android) called SimplyE.

Try starting with VueJS... it can be added to a page just like jquery and you get the same reactivity/template/etc support on the page without having to setup a compiler/etc.

Then after you learn that if you want to create a full app, vue (in vue-cli) has config templates that will help you set everything up so you can just start adding the pages to the app. A full app is nice because the compiler and linting will catch a lot of js errors making your app more reliable, allowing you to write larger apps (this is the biggest reason people use these frameworks).

The concepts in Vue are similar enough to React, Nuxt, Next, etc that it's pretty easy to learn the others after you have the basics down.

The fact someone supposedly laughs at a sexist joke or does not oppose a sexist joke doesn't mean they're sexist. Drawing such conclusion and firing those alleged laughers is like shooting with a cannon on a mosquito.

> Decades later, just in our block, there have been many cases of cancer (1 renal carcinoma -- my mom, 1 testicular cancer, 1 melanoma, 3x breast cancer). Sometimes I wonder if that's the natural incidence or if it is in fact a cancer cluster caused by remnants of Cobalt-60.

That is such an interesting and scary thing about it. It is really hard, and takes a lot of careful data collection, to figure out how much cancer is "normal" everyday cancer from smoking, genetics, voodoo curses; and how much is actually "extra" cancer from possible radiation exposure. It would be especially difficult on something as small scale as a neighborhood block, since random variation of even one or two extra or fewer people unlucky enough to get “natural” cancer could completely skew an analysis attempt.

Building an essay recommender system in 10 days
I'm currently reading The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon. It's quite an anachronistic book, has an obvious slant from the author's bias, and is outdated in a few parts compared to the modern views of the fall of Rome (according to my historian pal), but it's a delightful read on a literary level. That's not even to mention the casual prejudice and racism; the author really hates the Ottoman empire for obvious reasons and ranks peoples of his time on how barbarous they are.

It's an absolutely massive work that even so scarcely indicates the complexity of Rome's decline. I hope to branch out and read some more modern takes afterwards. One interesting observation of the varied causes attributed is that they all exist in some form or another today, in the most powerful nations of the world, and they could come to a critical point once more, and it's not clear where that would take us.
Absolutely. First it pertains to the persistent problem of projecting release dates and committing to them.

More importantly, it adds data points to the story of CD Projekt Red getting press for bragging about no ‘mandatory’ crunch time and subsequently adopting a brutal mandatory crunch at the home stretch.

I find it funny that all these "Good points" happen to come from the very people who have a vested interest in Waymo failing and their own alternative path being the better choice...

AMD was able to topple Intel because Intel was stagnant. Apple is coming from a design that is worse in every single way to AMD, which has been working on this for over a decade, and is attempting to topple them while they're killing it every year. Simply not comparable.

Indeed, if you look at AMD's laptop chips, their performance per watt is quite superior to Apple's chips. And since then AMD has only improved.
This, for me, was due to an expired cookie. You need to clear the cookies and local storage and log ba in to fix.

Isn't a “convention-based framework” just... a convention? With such a generous definition of “framework”, is it even realistic to solve this problem without accidentally creating one? Would you need to purposefully avoid any type of consistency between the different modules, and solve the same problem in different ways if it comes up more than once?
how does this make sense for a single-player rpg? most videogame sales happen within one or two months of release, and most people are not going to replay this kind of game unless they really like it.

If you can't preform the action associated with the interface element, the policies are not circumvented though. Being able to see the interface elements, and being able to preform the action associated with the interface element, are different things.

The only thing I see in a search is mainly speaking about beaches [1]: Can they not call about you trespassing? Or do many people simply not actually care? Can you just park by the side of the road and go walking in the woods?

Because ultimately, that's what I have here. I can just park off of the side of the road so long as it isn't blocking anyone and go off into the woods. I can do that and camp. Or sleep in the car, even. Without being worried about any trouble whatsoever. I can do this hours away from home without needing to know who owns the land.

Indiana doesn't need signs: If a local cop sees your out-of-town plates parked by the road or sees you in someone else's woods, they are going to ask about it. Lots of folks don't care all that much, however, especially if you aren't camping or hunting, so if they see you, they might say hi but that's about it. (Parents had some acres of woods, and didn't care with the exception of hunters - they wanted to know when hunters were about so they didn't let kids or dogs in the woods without proper safety colors).

Agreed this is very naive, it implies that humans are good drivers. Humans are awful drivers, and it sure doesn't help that [human] field of view and depth perception is very poor [compared to alternatives such as LIDAR].

The article makes the case for prescribing shorter courses of antibiotics for some infections, and they're probably right.

Add me to the list of people who have the same question, but with a slightly different perspective.

I understand the interpretation of matrix multiplication as a linear combinations, but I would also like to understand what is occurring geometrically. If I matrix multiply a 2D vector <a, b> by the basis vectors <<0, 1>, <1, 0>>, then I understand I am "weighting" an x, and y unit vector (as defined by my basis) by the x-component and y-component of my <a, b> vector, and then adding them together. So geometrically, I'm stretching by a factor of a, and b, then summing to get my resulting vector.

So, the way I'm trying to think of it geometrically is: any matrix is just a representation of some kind of basis (i.e some kind of linear system). I picture this as a sort of orthogonal cartesian grid that we squish and stretch while still being a series of intersecting parallel lines.

Matrix multiplication, is therefore taking in some vector, and "weighting" the basis vectors represented by our matrix by the components of that vector, and then summing them. To put it another way, we're essentially mapping a vector into that new basis system represented by our matrix.

Is that correct? Is there a better way to try and think of matrix multiplication geometrically?

Just going to say it. "GOOD!"
Not my understanding of his premise - I don't feel like your statements have actually countered his point. I have actually been looking for a true counterargument to their approach and so far everything I've come across I don't buy into. If anyone has anything countering/disputing Tesla's approach - please share! I can't help but feel like there is something I DON'T see that many smart, respectable people see and understand that I just haven't seen.

Also thanks for the link shares, but I don't think either actually disproves Tesla's approach.

My understanding of the Tesla approach is: In order to truly 'solve' self-driving (situations on the road that have never been seen before to drive safely - think unannounced construction, collision or road closures due to protests), you MUST solve 'vision' with a very, very complicated and well trained neural net (re: ridiculous intelligence in the form of a human brain as you state). In addition, the existing road infrastructure (re: signs) is all built around human vision - and so being able to identify and interpret all of that is a requirement.

I find their approach compelling as in this instance where you have cameras with a particular neural net (which they are constantly refining the learning model on) that are training across the millions of cars across the billions of miles across the thousands of various edge cases into a generalized solution. You also have a re-enforcement loop via the nature of a human driver which 'intervenes' through the drive, a necessary step in refining the model at scale. Note: I am not saying that Tesla's FSD will be coming to a street near you anytime soon. BUT, I haven't heard or understood a well articulated argument that says 'lidar is really the only practical solution'.

This also doesn't factor in that I've heard Lidar doesn't work well in any kind of precipitation (light being refracted away from the sensor). Also, full self driving doesn't mean it can drive in situations that humans WOULDN'T be comfortable with (i.e. snowy blizzard or thick fog) so in either solution shouldn't be factored in as a part of the required solution set.

And finally, the practical threshold on a FSD system that would pass regulatory approval is evidence/data that it is materially safer than a 'typical' human driver. It seems the 'throw millions of cars and billions/trillions of miles at it' with a refined tagging system that approaches the narrow vision solution for driving forward in 'driveable space' seems to be most likely to reach a solution first.

3. we released an updated stable version of the latest 1.0 release for anybody who wants to keep the local directory
The most obvious one is screen sharing - that requires some access that isn't possible through the browser. Also, interacting well with audio and video hardware might need native support.

Discord is another interesting datapoint. You can access that through the browser or natively, but their team has said that the native client means (among other things) better access to audio codecs for better quality audio and things like noise cancellation.
