To me it feels incredibly wasteful as this is addressing artificial problem and then will have to catch up with Apple moving goal posts. Sure the authors can gather some experience with software development, but other than that it sounds like a huge time sink for no real benefit as Apple can always shut it down one way or another.
I would rather see people working on an open fork of Android and address real issues like the fact that Google removed call recording API from Android, to help insurance and other phone sale companies scam their customers, as they can no longer record telemarketers lying to them.
Simply put: I want to know if what I am writing is being read and how is propagated.
Perhaps its a professional blog and they’d like to know about their audience.
Do you have a link with more information on this? Does this also work in Europe?

A full refund and a switch from a Rift-S to something like a G2 seems like an amazing deal to me.
I just want to know if what I write is being read and how is propagated/shared

Might depend on which part of the year you are there: in-season vs imported foods.
Unfortunately both examples are misleading:

Unlicensed equipment in the ISM WiFi band are operating under Part 15 (in USA) so must accept any interference.

And the phone interference to a stereo is caused by cheap and nasty design of the stereo. The phone itself cannot be blamed, and there's nothing which can be done to the phone to fix the interference (other than switching it off). Again the stereo is probably operating under Part 15, so must accept any interference.
I strongly advise against this style of justification:

text-align: justify;
text-justify: inter-character;

Justification is typically only particularly suitable for fairly narrow columns, combined with hyphenation. And inter-character justification is… hazardous, only to be entered into with substantial caution.

Sometimes layouts and what occurs to the inline-end [right] of the layout can also justify justification

But unless one of these conditions is true, I recommend against any form of justification, especially inter-character.

Another bit of CSS that I would like removed is the `html { cursor: default; }`. Apps can do that so that chrome uses the default cursor (and restore it to auto in content areas), but content websites shouldn’t do that. I want to see the usual I-beam when I’m hovering over text.
Precisely why I pee sitting down unless I'm at a urinal. I did not need to do this when I was younger and shorter.
Don't sell it to someone else. Demand your money back from the merchant you bought it from. It's clearly defective.
> It’s like a catch-22 though. If I start a company using open source and must give away the software I then build on top of it as open source then I likely fail to capture revenues and my company fails.

How is that the open source author's problem? Open source is meant to enable user freedom, not to save corporations money. If you want to use something, contact the author and get a commercial license.
Do you have any ammonium nitrate though? I mean, chances are he was just some pyro and not actually interested in bombing/killing people. But it's dumb to do that in a flat.
Ok, but the choice of framing was what I found interesting enough to share. The title of the paper wouldn’t have indicated that.

Some of the ghost characters do appear to originate from place names, though that doesn't really have anything to do with the addressing system or any postal authority. Of the ones I checked more closely, like 膤, they tend to refer to things that wouldn't necessarily show in an address, like a hill or something.

It comes up when there’s services illegal immigrants will use anyway and you want it to be done properly. For example, you want illegal immigrants to still have a valid driver’s license and insurance as the alternative isn’t “no illegal immigrants” but instead just a generally a society that functions less well (and in the case of driving more costly and less safe).
And yet we'll have fans defending and arguing over something that's simply so inherently clear.

It's all about money. Everything else is just an excuse.
...and the nr. 1 hit movie Meghalayan Park is about a theme park recreating lions and wolves, that then escape and eat the park visitors.
Demand that money back too. You paid for it, they deny you access to it. They should be obligated to pay your money back. Sue them in small claims court, raise a stink, and never do business with them again.
Great book, and "The Zen of Computer Programming" by the same author is also nice.

(Unfortunately the printed version has pages of pseudo-Chinese text that look like "A U E I A A U E E I O A E" if you can recognize a bit of the language.)
Yeah, but what will you change based on what you discover? That’s the essence of what tweetle_beetle is asking and why many end up deciding that they don’t actually need analytics—because they’re not going to change anything based on what they observe.
Extending restrictions to affiliates/related bodies corporate is absolute bread and butter commercial legal work. Most lawyers are writing these kind of clauses week in, week out.

What you are presumably referring to is transfer pricing, which is a completely different beast.
That’s how I ended up using resolve, once it started becoming problematic to install FCP7 on new machines. Found it pretty simple to switch for most basic purposes.
On the other hand many plants aren't even getting in contact with soil any more and just get some liquid fertilizer in a greenhouse.

That's the other cognitive bias: We still imagine old school farming, animals walking around the farm, happy farmers working outside. Advertisement and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ag-gag hide the grim reality.
This so true its crazy.

I once was a gym bro who believed that deadlift and barbell squats where like the only thing you should do in the gym.

Until i blew my back really hard, doing squats following the 5x5 strong lift program. I really regret that now because it ruined so much for me. I now have constant pain in my back and i cannot do the sports that i truly love doing (boxing and bjj) like i used to.

Now i have a much different view on the gym. I use machines to a greater extent and i focus more on training for health than lifting heavy barbells.
Because it doesn't work like you think: this does NOT mean that because it's "GMO added resistance" that you don't have to spray it.

No, it's much worse: "added GMO resistance" means that you can SPRAY IT MORE without the plant dying.

So you will actually get a more poisonous product in the end due to more spraying.

They did a very subversive wording manipulation and tricked the people.
Why are we even entertaining this story? Did tech community went so backwards?

Looks like a cool app for making digital resumes. The most important features that I would recommend is to make those profiles discoverable. You can have a discover/explore button which will showcase profiles created in the site. This has to be done by keeping their contact info private.

I live in a flat and grow tomatoes and things hydroponically in a corner.

Big initial cost, but those tomatoes taste so sweet. It's also just a fun hobby, I don't intend to save money on it
Mozilla have certainly lost some respect from me over this one!
>Forums and the communities they fostered are dead.

Not really - I still use forums (that use my native language) and they feel great! way better than Reddit and have significant active user base.
FYI the majority of tomatoes grown in temperate Europe (most notably the Netherlands) is grown hydroponically in a substrate like stone wool.

Search for "dutch tomatoe greenhouse" or the like, it is quite impressive from a technical perspective.

According to a German tomatoe farmer also in southern European countries like Italy and Spain more and more tomatoes are grown in stone wool due to a deterioration of soils.
It's Bayer now. Simply hand over your food production to Satan and let's see where it leads. Oh sorry, you've done it already.
They used to solve some problems in a way that was good enough at that time. Nowadays setting up services, where you have to take care of avoiding port conflicts, is much easier with container technology. Modifying config files in the users directory is in my experience a pain because chef was not designed to do that. You have to do all kind of workarounds to get permissions right. Just using Chef for abstracting from which package manager you use also does not fully work because package names can be different between Linux flavors. Chef also requires a ruby installation, which itself is a problematic large dependency which might conflict with another ruby version on the system.

Update: trying to install the same package in different versions at the same time is also a pain.
People can complain about things and still prefer them. Just like you may dislike that your spouse cleans the dishes poorly, but you aren't going to switch to someone else for that reason.
> You can’t offer people a free lunch and then claim they are steeling if they don’t voluntarily tip you the full cost of a lunch.

No, but I can be miffed if I offer people a free lunch and they turn around and sell the free lunch I paid to make and keep all the money.
> Or they are discriminatory and just don't want anyone they personally dont like to benefit.

Which is their right as long as they are not discriminating against a protected class, as it's their work, but they should have put that in the license.
> Practically every other country in the world has national identification

That surprised me (I don't have an ID card here in Australia, nor did I in the UK), so I looked it up :

"A number of countries do not have national identity cards. These include Andorra, Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, Denmark, India, Japan, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Norway, Palau, Samoa, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan. Other identity documents such as passports or driver's licenses are then used as identity documents when needed. However, governments of Kiribati, Norway, Samoa and Uzbekistan are planning to introduce new national identity cards in the near future. Some of these, e.g. Denmark, have more simple official identity cards, which do not match the security and level of acceptance of a national identity card, used by people without driver's licenses.

A number of countries have voluntary identity card schemes. These include Austria, Belize, Finland, France, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Saint Lucia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States."

p.s. I don't have a passport, driver's licence, mobile phone, or credit cards but still manage OK for ID :-)
No, the interference from GSM is caused by poor immunity in the audio equipment. You can't blame the EU standard for crappy analog audio equipment.

The RF breakthrough is caused by the Amplitude Modulation in GSM, but then there's nothing fundamentally wrong with AM.
Most likely is that their number range target was computed in decimal digits, so it was of 15 decimal digits.

Converting to binary that gave 53 bits.
Here is my story with a similar experiment:

I'm a conscientious objector. For justice reasons we had to be treated equally to the guys (and it was only guys back then) doing military service. That meant not only that we had a right to our service banana[1], but also that, at least a percentage of us, had to go through boot camp.

It was only a small percentage, but of course, I won the lottery ticket and was sent off for six weeks of conscientious objectors boot camp.
Apart from the usual indoctrination, which I suppose was similar to military boot camp, we had to do things that were supposed to prepare us for our jobs in hospitals and homes for the elderly.

One of these things was the Wheel Chair Experiment. Groups of three: one guy in a wheelchair, one guy playing the nurse, third guy observing how people react. To make it interesting, we made a day trip by train to a nearby tourist town - and coincidentally place of pilgrimage. Of course, we were given stern warnings not to pull off what some of our predecessors allegedly had done:
Roll into the sanctuary, jump out of the wheelchair and shout: "I am healed! I am healed!!"

Apart from the joking and fun young people have together, it was a very chilling experience. Going up, only a slight rise is strenuous, and for steeper rises, the pivoting front wheels of the chair always turned crosswise.
Entering the train in the morning we cheated because we were overburdened with the task. That made our instructor really mad because we couldn't stay in character for not even half an hour. I never dared to lift the front wheels because I was too afraid of falling backward with my head hitting the ground. When it comes to people, most just look away from you, which made me very uncomfortable.

It was an experience I will never forget. I have the deepest respect for anyone managing life in a wheelchair.

[1] Service personnel on ships had the right to receive a part of their pay in fruit or vegetables for historical reasons. For equality, this was extended to every soldier and later to conscientious objectors too. Humorously this was called the service banana. I only know this because it was part of our boot camp curriculum.
Resistance to pests, not pesticides. This makes producers use fewer or no pesticides, not more. A naturally occuring pest resistance gene will be copied from one organism to the crop in question.

And the herbicide resistance usually allows for the usage of safer herbicides.

Timely post, I'm just about to embark on an experiment with my open source project where I will restrict access to the newer versions. Not what I wanted to do when I initially open sourced it but seems like the only way I'll be able to keep it sustainable:

This is a different approach to managing tasks. I would prefer to have an account and access my tasks across devices.
Yep. IMO the mistake that a lot of people are making here is to think that iOS devices should be more like computers. They are popular and successful because they are less like computers. They're arcade machines, VCRs, appliances, and that is what people like about them, and what keeps them safe for people to use without lots of precautions and junk like antivirus software.

Like many of us, I am where I am today because I had access from a relatively young age, to computers that demanded you program them. I was there when you turned a computer on and it said "READY" and you were immediately in a BASIC interpreter. I absolutely recognise the value of that for future generations, which is why I'll be buying a Raspberry Pi 400 for our eldest son's upcoming 10th birthday, but I also recognise the value in being able to have had him use an iPad for the last few years and have it be nearly frictionless.
That's a bit catastrophic.

First of all, I don't about you, but I am European and have been actively involved in the process of bringing encryption to all of EU citizens, as an obligation to the companies that supply communication software.

I trust the people of EU, on the other hand you seem not to trust other's people capabilities, not even your own parents

I would never talk like that of my mom and dad.

Anyway, back to the point: there is always a tension to find a middle ground between two different opposing interest: one is privacy and secrecy the other is safety.

You probably know technology better than me, you probably know there are technical solutions to the problem that, obviously, involve having some fate that the public servants will exercise the necessary due diligence.

One possible solution that popped out of my mind is to use the same functionalities chat applications use for groups (not because I agree, but because it is possible without compromising too much what we already lacked anyway - secrecy and privacy).

When you have an E2E encrypted group chat every person in the chat receives the encryption keys and messages are encrypted by each sender, signed, sent to the server that than forward it to any participant in the group.

Or you could do it the PGP way, each recipient has its own keys and the message is encrypted for each one of them.

What we need is to add to it separation of church and state.

The state is always participating in these chats, meaning that it always receives a pair of keys, but it has no access to the actual encrypted data, that is stored by the provider and inaccessible by anyone else unless authorized by the justice system.

Nobody, except the key owner, jas the keys to drecrypt them anyway.

It is exactly how it worked before with phone calls, companies kept records of calls and SMS, but they could only be accessed from authorized actors.

Records and keys would expire after a period of time (it was 10 years for phone calls)

objection 1: it means WhatsApp and the other will keep records of my communications -> they are already doing it anyway

objection 2: it would take a lot of space -> they are already doing it anyway

objection 3: that would give the state power over my communications -> it already has it

objection 4: that means anybody could decrypt my messages -> not really, and it would be a crime, you can't prevent crimes by not doing things, in any case it would be easier to steal your phone.
At first glance, the title is a bit misleading I think a more accurate one could have been "I don't write Javascript to avoid it" or "I just avoid to write Javascript", etc.
Anyway great that the author remarks the idea to avoid Javascript bloat but honestly that's not something new.

I'd call it a "not great" job at describing reality–Macs today are certainly more locked-down than they were five or ten years ago, but I think it would be unfair to compare them to iOS right now.

I don't know why they are not proposing this instead (well, I do, because they'd prefer more power), but I do not find this proposal acceptable either.

The fact that you might be able to see that a government read a message of yours offers little assurance that the government will not start abusing this power. After all, what possible recourse do we have after we start seeing these notifications on our messages? Certainly the government won't start telling us the exact reason they are snooping. The very fact that your conversations had been snooped on by the government might imply there is something shady about you. Where there is smoke, there's also fire, right? And this still has us relying that governments won't start pressuring clients to have special code which bypasses the notification when it is convenient for them.

No. The government must not be allowed to deny the citizen his right to have private conversations.
Of course they understand vendor lock-in. Whenever the subject of switching from/to iPhone from/to Android, the issue of "but this app doesn't exist on <target>" comes up.
> might just disappear if the service goes down

The service doesn't even need to go down, the licenses with Spotify can be revoked/expire/etc. I love the convenience of having an almost unlimited library of music to listen to, I absolutely detest the fact that one day I might think, "Oh I'd like to listen to <X> from my playlist." and suddenly it's no longer available, because <reasons>.
Here's a reuters article that fact checks the weird voter spikes: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact-check-biden-vote-spi...
I for one wouldn't use a library licensed like this. There are ideological reasons, but more practically, let's say I run a server that provides a public service. At some point, it gets a lot of traffic and I want to accept donations or use ads to fund the hosting. Under such a licence, I'd be completely at the mercy of the author, who could effectively shut down the server.
For wire-framing or diagrams I find pen and paper (or a whiteboard) to be the best solution too. Too often most of the effort goes into "properly" using the app, when it should be spent on the concept. Just draw a picture, take a photo and email it or whatever, and done.
I totally agree - Deleted Facebook and Twitter, dumbed down my phone and keep it out of sight for these reasons. Also, the more you can bundle into Emacs, the faster you go.
I grow hydroponic tomatoes for fun and they taste much better than supermarket tomatoes. It's probably to do with letting them ripen on the plant and build up their sugar content rather than anything to do with growing technique
That's not a term of art, it's someone's opinion. "Open source" means whatever I say it does, whatever you say it does, whatever Apple says it does, whatever ESR says it does, and whatever RMS says it does.
If you are accused of something you have a right to remain silent. Wouldn't this proposal violate this? If you spy on someone's communication you essentially change the audience to whom the accused may not wish to speak to.
I understand that the authorities want to catch the bad people, but where does it end? Should we accept having a civil servant and their handler in our homes? Should we have weekly polygraph testing? What if someone speaks in a code, that is the spoken sentences will have a different meaning than what language would suggest? What if someone speaks their mother tongue, is that going to be classed as circumvention of surveillance?
Why this is even an official proposal?
