Some banks and bank-like products only make themselves available by mobile app. It's a commercial decision, and seems to have been a trend with some "challenger" banks.

I have two of those, and I chose them because of unique banking features (not the mobile app) not offered by other banks which I found valuable. It's nothing to do with the country.

To be honest it would be nice to have web access as well (or even phone banking), but we take what we can get.
Because they want to access the content, which might not be available otherwise.

Netflix seems to be quite popular, and it's users don't seem to be bothered by the DRM - try taking a screenshot of it on the desktop, you'll get a black picture.
That's actually pretty funny, I did click on that warning on some voter fraud allegations and here is what it said:

What you need to know
- Voter fraud of any type is incredibly rare in the US, according to The Associated Press and Reuters
- US officials say the 2020 US election will be more secure than the 2016 US presidential election
- US officials confirm that foreign governments are trying to influence the US election, but that foreign governments' interference is mostly relegated to launching misinformation campaigns
- Experts say US elections are 'resilient'

And then it lists some articles, that just like the tl;dr version above, did not disprove anything that was actually being said in tweets labeled with these warnings.

It's really bad. Laughably bad. It might only confirms your biases if you already believe that the allegations are false, but if you haven't formed an opinion yet - I assure you, no one is ever going to be convinced by this. A lot of people are now treating those factcheckers as a complete joke that cannot be taken seriously. But I don't know, this is just what I noticed by observing this entire thing, make of it what you will.
Yup, no searching across projects right now but for the current project that's loaded you can search it.

> Good marketing can still happen with bad data.

Good marketing doesnt have to look like trash though. I remember there were times when ads were sometimes great stuff aesthetically and artistically. I wish they didn't just give that money to google and we didnt have to tolerate uninspired ads.

Hey thanks for the feedback, will jump on this and get that fixed. I agree that is super annoying when it happens.
That’s not the same thing at all lol.

> If it's outside of the app how would you have a modal UI which would change what's in the right click menu of the canvas ?

Simple. The object that owns the "modal UI" part would own, or at least aggregate, a right-click menu. The canvas shouldn't be busy handling right-click menus anyway, it should provide an interface to access and manipulate the underlying bitmap. The "modal UI" would own the right-click handler, and would populate the context menu with a filtered choice of options, including functionality provided by different objects.

It's more complex than naive approach with everything being owned by a single one, but fundamentally not that different from a design you'd arrive to if you were intended to allow for plugins in your application - except now the "plugin manager" isn't in your app, but in your OS.

> You would also have to wait for your OS to implement 10-bit support for it - I'm pretty sure that e.g. Krita had 10-bit canvas before MS Paint :)

Krita people could provide a 10-bit canvas implementation that offers an 8-bit canvas-compatible interface. Alternatively, your UI could require canvas objects implementing a 10-bit canvas interface, but you - or a third party - would also provide an adapter (polyfill, as the kids say today) that wraps the MS Paint 8-bit canvas behind a 10-bit canvas interface.

The teaching point you bring up is a strong one, and I don't have a good answer. I think Microsoft's COM, the Emacs ecosystem and every game with a large modding scene (e.g. Kerbal Space Program) all provide evidence that a fully interoperable system turns users into sysadmins. You don't need to code to use such a system, but you'd better be prepared to be aware of all the components, and do a bit of configuring, if you want anything other than the defaults.

(But, as every game with a large modding scene demonstrates, it's not necessarily that hard for regular non-tech-savvy users either.)
Does anyone know if there's a way to pull secrets into PG from an environment variable or similar and access it within PG in a way that does not directly expose the value to the db user or to logs?
The fact that this is downvoted tells me that people here still don't understand qualia.

I'm of the opinion that if stuff is not private, people will look at it and exploit it. In 2020 there's no reason we can't offer great UX while being encrypted, so this is my attempt at that.
Right, should have mentioned PS as well.

However, it's still important to note that it's easier in some sense, especially for simple tasks, to use Bash than PS, and I think that this is deeply tied to the reason why we fall back to apps rather than rich objects as the fundamental interactions.

I believe that human capacity to massage data together is still very hard to replicate in the kind of formal manner required by programming tools (for now, at least). That is why it is significantly easier for someone to copy data from one web UI to another than it is to write the rules for copying backend-to-backend automatically (up to some amount of data). This is a problem much more fundamental than the economic incentives for app creation. It's similar to the observation that, for small amounts of data, it is easier to run a select * from table and visually search, rather than go though the trouble of mentioning which columns and rows you want to see.
Thanks! Hope you give it a go. I agree I'll rework that a little and focus more on the benefits.
My initial thoughts on using Flutter and Dart for App development
"War on drugs" does not refers merely at making drugs illegal. It literally refers to Nixon specific set of priorities and policies and rhetorics around them.

Anyway, China did not had the same punishment disparity between crack and cocaine US had.
It's a shame to me how docker has come to be seen as "the usual software", as it's really just another layer of duck tape which uses OS features to pretend that arbitrary build processes are "reproducible" (when actually the way most Dockerfiles are written, they are most certainly not).

As a result, working with docker images often needs special privileges which leads to complex situations involving docker-in-docker etc., which just shouldn't be necessary.
that advice needed one site visit with 5 minute of inspections. and those thousands usd[10k usd=7.2Lac INR,more than average software developers pay per year in India] in Indian labour will cost 10 times if it was in USA. Every dollar saved is an asset in balance-sheet.

> I'd rather the `questionary.checkbox` produce a checkbox instead of radio button.

As you said, it doesn't behave like a radio group though but like group of checkboxes (as it allows you to select multiple items). Do you mean that the default styling of using empty & filled circles to display selections is confusing?
Biologically delayed relative to what? Circadian rhythms have to be cued off some external driver, whether that's daylight hours, mealtimes or whatever.
Peachnote may also be used for the same purpose, but its usefulness is much diminished by their limiting of the length of search queries.
Reading this I just clicked the audiobook. Sounds like something I could love working as a technical oriented data analyst after having studied literature.
So should we play based on manual clicks on individual songs or artists, rather than plays from playlists? Or perhaps exclude only popular playlists, or public playlists in general?

I see what you're saying in this scenario, but in general more listens resulting in more money doesn't strike me as unfair.

I'm also not opposed to doing it the way others are proposing (dividing individual subscribers' money among their played artists instead of aggregating it and doing it by number of plays). I guess that would be one way of solving this issue, even if it's not the underlying problem. In your scenario the underlying problem seems to be that someone plays generic garbage as background noise all day and thereby generates plays that a niche artist whose listeners really love their music wouldn't generate. That's a separate problem, though perhaps changing the revenue distribution model would indeed be the best way to solve this issue.

The issue isn't low standards of living in dense US cities but the lack of affordable housing. If you want an international example of providing affordable housing in an area with very high property values, Singapore accomplishes this with the government-run HDB apartments.
You don't see it as the same because you have different expectations/needs. I don't see Apple's control of the app store as being a value-add for me, so to me that is user-hostile. Meanwhile I do think it's important that apps can't arbitrarily look at my screen contents.
They don't really "make it challenging", they just didn't bother to create a GUI or ncurses installer.

If you know a few things about Linux systems and can read instructions, it's really straightforward to install without those, so Arch maintainers are free to spend their time on other projects.

It's something of a meme that the installation is some kind of hazing ritual, but I don't think of it that way. There are plenty of other distributions with GUI installers for the people who can't or don't want to spend some time understanding how they work.
The reason why this is so powerful is that you can decouple frontend from backend with this pattern. If something is missing on a REST API you have to ask the backend developer to change it or create a new endpoint. In case of the former, the REST API gets bloated in case of many API consumers. Compare that to GraphQL and persisted Queries. The frontend developer can change the query themselves. If a change is required to the API they would still have to ask the backend developer to implement it. However, due to the nature of GraphQL other API consumers don't get affected by the change. All in all you get more for less.
When I buy a Mechina album on Bandcamp, my money does not go to Nickelback instead. Can you explain how this system currently used by Bandcamp is unfair?

If I wanted to get the same behavior from Spotify, I would need to leave devices streaming at all hours, because I am competing for amount of streams against restaurants and gyms that buy a single Spotify subscription and leave it on constantly.

Most of the discussion here is missing the point. The actual subsidy is not from unpopular artists to popular artists, it's from (artists listened to by) casual listeners to (artists listened to) by heavy listeners.

Under the pro rata model, any heavy listeners will divert "other people's money" toward the songs they listen to. This could be a superfan obsessed with some indie band, or it could be a fan of popular artists. Moving to a user centric model will certainly penalize any artists that overindex on heavy listeners. For example, children's music that gets put on repeat will probably take a hit.
Quit measuring employee engagement (2017)
A subtle disadvantage of the Pro Rata model is that content creators in the platform can trivially exploit it.

If a content creator subscribes to Spotify as a user and streams non-stop his own music, he will receive from Spotify more than the cost of the subscription.

Repeat that a few times, and download here and there tracks from other random artists to cover your tracks, and the schema may work.
The media clearly has power. And it's not wrong to observe that the mainstream English language media tends to be associated with a certain class, worldview, and educational system.

On the other hand, there has never been an era when individuals had as much ability to male their voices heard or, for better or worse, such diversity of news (and "news") sources.

There's also the fact that Twitter is a platform and not a publication. And there are certainly questions of what happens when dominant platforms that control access to eyeballs start regulating what people can people can publish there according to reality as it exists for the tech world.
I live in the UK and have used 5 banking apps so far (not all of them at the same time):

- Barclays (App won't work with LineageOS, website is horrible).

- Monzo (App only, no website, works with LineageOS).

- Revolut (App only, no website, works with LineageOS).

- TransferWise (Web and App, both work well, but never tried it on LineageOS).

- ING Home Bank (App won't work with LineageOS, website is manageable, but still a pain compared to the app).

Of course I don't have to use any of these, but there are clear advantages to using any of them, depending on the situation (you wouldn't take a mortgage from TransferWise, split bills with Barclays, and hold foreign currency in Monzo, mainly because they don't support that). Also you don't have to use a phone, just walk around without one, make people email you instead of calling, and ask people for directions instead of looking at a GPS map.

My point is, I paid for my phone (me alone, nobody else chipped in) so I want to use every feature it provides without restrictions, as it is my property. That goes for both taking screenshots and using apps. And when it's not possible, I look for alternatives. Right now none are practical, nor feasible, so all I got left are tricks like scrcpy and rants on forums ;).
> might not be available otherwise.

Like how they stopped showing movies on TV once VCRs entered the market, or stopped playing music on the radio once home taping killed it. If only we had had DRM on radios and TVs back then, perhaps there would still be some entertainment industry left.
You only need this flexibility during development. In production it's rarely the case you want to change a query without deploying a new version of the app. So there's no flexibility lost.
Not sure what “victim mentality” is trying to imply. Sometimes people really are victims. Did European Jews during WW2 have a “victim mentality”, by your standards?
> Believing in the institutions of family (and monogamy as a commitment to that institution), the objective rule of law, moral obligation through duty of various kinds of community service, prudence, faith as an integral part of worldview, a sense of community that can possibly be expressed through nationalism, the notion that people must act responsibly to the extent they are able and assume responsibility for their actions - these are not ideals of 'entitlement' frankly.

I kind of agree with you. However - maybe I am wrong - but you seem to equate these values with "conservatism" and believe other people think these are ideals of "entitlement". I don't think non-conservatives, myself included think that way or don't believe in these values. But feel free to correct me if I misunderstood you.
Written by AI?
All true. But what are the alternatives? Ignore the data? All of it? That does feel right either.

I would think the best approach is to not over-trust your data. To not only be aware of what might tell you, but what it might not. If you must guess or extrapolate, then do so with eyes wide open, not blind and reckless.
Don't forgot the workplaces, bars and other businesses like gyms playing the top40 on repeat throughout accruing a massive amount of streams. It's not allowed but I've seen it happen quite a few times.

> Can this parse arguments directly, produce help, etc. Like Click[0]? In other words, can this be "scripted".

This isn't possible just yet. I think it is a great idea to combine CLI argument parsing with queries if the arguments are missing, sounds like a thing you'd like to do instead of aborting a script because of a missing CLI argument.
Can you provide a credible figure for that claimed correlation?

Damn, I was tempted by it some time ago and found it required way too much investment, so I thought “I’ll check back once they build enough stuff on top to make most of these tasks easily-manageable without being an expert”. But if it has not happened in 17 years, it probably never will...

You can re-lock the bootloader with your own signing key on Pixels. GrapheneOS seems to be the only third party ROM currently taking advantage of it.
just buy one more phone, you know, the one to take pictures of the other phone with. :)
I doubt that. I think you massively underestimate the amount of people just listening to the top 40 in the background non-stop.

I've also seen a gym just putting popular music on repeat with Spotify. That should be at least 10.000 streams per month. Not hard to make that skew the numbers even if it's somewhat rare.
You cannot. When I worked at Apple, we had an intern on our team who told me he hated everything about Apple, and that he used Linux for everything. When I asked him why he worked at Apple for the summer he said "To learn the enemy". He had access to a fairly significant amount of source code. It would have been trivial for him to copy a lot of this onto a USB stick. I have no evidence that he ever did this. Our team was great, though, so I hope that by the end of his internship his attitude had changed.

Is that really so different?
I've been into mindfulness and meditation for quite a few years, and this article is squarely in that arena. However, something that bothers me about this article is its emphasis on work-related productivity as the primary goal of mindfulness and focus. Cultivating this kind of brain change is a big undertaking, and I find it demotivating to think that the main beneficiary should be the capitalist goal of increased productivity in a workplace setting.

Think bigger! I prefer to think that the primary goal of increased focus/mindfulness is increased happiness, joy, and life satisfaction. Any work-related productivity increase is a convenient side-effect. Work will come and go, but you have to live with your brain every day for the rest of your life. Imagine what it would be like to be able to happily focus on spending time with your child, or reading a good book, and really be present in that moment.

I had no idea that there were rumors about Graham being gay. That may very well upset his constituents. They may be fine as long as they can pretend it's not real, but with overwhelming proof or even a confession that could spell disaster.

I dunno. I am intrigued, though.
It is also pretty rare for some code to be that valuable. It would be about as much work for to figure out hot to leverage stolen code for profit as to just write your own. Data getting stolen on the other hand is much worse.
[PostGraphile author here, and I wrote that page of documentation.]

Firstly, GraphQL does not allow for infinite recursion; it is literally not possible to do infinite recursion in GraphQL; the GraphQL spec even has a section on this: https://spec.graphql.org/draft/#sec-Fragment-spreads-must-no...

Secondly, it's extremely easy to add a GraphQL validation rule that limits the depth of queries; here's an example of one where it takes just a single line of code: https://github.com/stems/graphql-depth-limit . This isn't included by default because there are plenty of solutions you're free to choose between, many of which are open source, depending on your project's needs. For most GraphQL APIs, persisted queries/persisted operations is the tool of choice, and is what Facebook have used internally since before GraphQL was open sourced in 2015. (Unlike what you state, this does not turn your API into a "REST API," it acts as an optimisation on the network layer and once configured is virtually invisible to client and server.)
>Do you mean that the default styling of using empty & filled circles to display selections is confusing?

Yes. Most of the time, radio buttons are mutually exclusive and you can only choose one. Check boxes on the other hand are, most of the time, cumulative.

i.e: if you want to signify you can select multiple items, you use check boxes. If you want to signify you can select only one item, you use a radio button.

I'm a simple person conditioned by years of this pattern, but I think you'd find the same sentiment if you search for "checkbox vs radio button".
If "consequences" = "documenting and punishing millions of people for expressing different political opinions" then there is something seriously wrong with our political system.
