> Won't unlocking the bootloader make banking apps not work anymore?

Is it not possible to unlock the bootloader but modify the OS tell apps that the bootloader is locked no matter what? Can we do this with Xposed?
Been using Resolve for over a year and graded a documentary short with it last year. I fell head over heels for Blackmagic and we now own several Ursa mini pro g2 cameras and a few of their smaller 6Ks. We shoot on canon lenses and our entire workflow is Resolve.

Resolve is the best color grading software in the biz, without question. Most Oscar winners each year have used Resolve for their grade. The node based workflow is a game changer.

Fair light is the sound editing software and is built on a company they purchased that was a leader in the field. What is truly unbelievable is that you get the full version of fair light in the free version of Resolve. In fact the only thing you’ll miss in the free version is a few plugins. Last year I was doing a color grade and accidentally upgraded to free. Took me an hour to realize.

Fusion is also very powerful for VFX and does an excellent job with a few plugins for planar tracking.

Resolve provides a complete workflow including media management, two editors, color, sound, vfx and export. It is remarkably fast and stable. The BM folks are also super friendly and helpful. Met a few at a DP seminar in NYC end of last year.

I’ve been trying to create awareness about how much BM is giving away and how powerful Resolve is so I’m glad to see it here.

One last thing. Blackmagic raw is unbelievable in the latitude it gives you for heavy grades. We came over from Sony s-log2. One shoot and we were hooked. I kept pushing the footage and waiting for that Sony purple grain to appear in the darks and they stayed clean with a ton of detail. Amazing.
bundles for deployment in environments that are quite a bit behind in terms of language support.

Isn't this what babel is for?
Blocking works nicely and prevents further interactions.
"if he finds a faster/safer way to do the one thing his package does"

That seems to have happened here, though who knows across X number of browsers and whatever JS engine updates happen.

Best Reason to Join a Startup? Not to Get Rich
Promotion is hard even in my small little 10 people org where I’m in a position to just at whim promote someone. Money is always limited, and any promotion (or even non-promotion) is a statement about relative (financial) value. People sometimes confuse that with actual human value and feel mistreated. Even talking about money is hard for many folks - how do we balance wages, how do we distribute profits, invest, save for bad times, ... People are not trained for this, money is often something people don’t talk about.

So some of the promotion dance may be more complicated in larger orgs, but it’s still hard in other orgs since it’s a value judgement on merits earned and as with all value judgements, there’s no absolutely correct and mathematically defensible formula.
This is what you need to use to install resolve on Ubuntu

I was thinking the same thing, have it exfil a secret key out of a server room (theoretically).

> The law seems to make no distinction.

What do you mean by this? The law does make a distinction between essential and nonessential cookies (cookies that are necessary for the function of the website/app, i.e. session cookies, and not necessary, i.e. analytics IDs) and requires you to get consent for nonessential cookies, while allowing essential cookies. If a website doesn't set any nonessential cookies then it doesn't need to ask for consent.
That was my point, we are no better than in medieval times. One can however run things like Replicant (I do) and I am aware of some better alternatives like linux phone, pinephone and librem5. I want to learn more about them before my old Replicant phone dies.

Analog loophole. Worst case you could always carry a second phone and use it to do screenshots. Maybe we could make an app to calibrate and sharpen screenshots taken by a second phone to make them look as good as real digital screenshots.

We really need to show it to 'em who is boss. My phone ultimately should listen to me, not Google.
Interest. Can you share any part of the kit for free as demo to test it?

What about updates? Will I receive them directly in Notion workspace ?

How regular do you add new content ?
A stdlib wouldn't solve the problem for older environments because a stdlib would almost certainly be tied to engine versions.
This is always my question as well.
Devil’s advocate - why? Banks can take your home if you don’t make mortgage payments. With this technology, there might actually be more access to devices because lenders have recourse, reducing the risk overall.
Title is misleading. We are talking about an use case where a mobile phone bought from a bank/creditor on an installment plan can have it's features locked until payments are resumed.
You are avoiding my point.

Where is the user outrage over Netflix using DRM and blocking their rights to fair use.

And if you don't like it, don't subscribe. Are you against companies being able to choose if to use DRM or not? Do you want to ban DRM? What about encryption, do you want to ban that too?
Fun.
In the 70s/80s a company called “tomy” made some mechanical “video” games. We had a couple and they were oddly fun. They had wind up (what we had. and more sophisticated battery operated ones too.). What they could do with overlays, gears and buttons was amazing.

They show up on refurb YouTube and you can set the guts. It’s amazing what they could do mechanically.

My Samsung A40 from 2019 has an unlock bootloader option in the Developer Options. I didn't check what it does neither I googled it but it's promising.
Good point, maybe leverage a link shortener built into the app?
The story is purely fictional, although it's inspired by the Cambridge Analytica scandal, so more Facebook than Evil Google in that sense.

But the day-to-day details are definitely influenced by my Google experience. In particular, as amateur this movie is, it might contain one of the few accurate depictions of a FAANG systems design whiteboard interview ever filmed :)
Saw these lists multiple times.

For me maybe 1-5% of links worked, while other places are just typical blogs without traffic.

Still maybe worth though
It's a possible solution, depending on need and context. but it isn't a fix-all.

Not really sure why someone is posting German propaganda from a century ago on Remembrance Sunday?
Well, I've skimmed through your link and he makes some legit counterpoints.
The teenager different sleep schedule is not addressed by the link so maybe true at some degree, but still, when there are so many errors one became skeptical.
(This assuming this errors are true and they disprove many of Matthew Walker points, I have not looked at the article deeply as I said)

I am going to read it more carefully when I have more time.

(Jeez, it's really hard to believe something nowdays)
That would be true if it was "the community". But it's not. It's one person. So you're literally giving Julian Gruber commit access to your production environment in the hope that he finds a better way of doing something that is a polyfill for something that browsers now do better.

I don't understand how that is a rational decision that people are making. Can anyone explain?
Yup, but you’d still need a database since you need to store that lookup somewhere from long URL to short url.
You install adb from Google and run one command. That's how you unlock a bootloader.

As for root, yes you have to install something which is Magisk which is open source and vetted and had been around for around 5+ years.

My wife that has never done it just did it for her new pixel 4a a few weeks ago. All I did was direct her to a step my step tutorial (I vetted the tutorial) and she did it flawlessly.
This is a bug with incorrect handling of the .nomedia file. iOS already doesn't allow you to disable location services. That is intended behavior.
Any idea when it actually applies? Have you seen it in the wild? I don't recall having that message appear legitimately at any point but I guess it might be for corporate phones.

Do you also copy-paste the 36 lines of unit tests in your project ?
If you don't like that a package you're using depends on this via a dependency chain then you're free to PR into the respective upstream package to either inline this code or (in this case) to drop the support for an older version of Node (within a breaking change, if necessary).

In general, you can always avoid picking packages with deep dependency chains. That seems like a good idea to me.

Also, I think `isarray` is quite dated, but I can understand why people used to use it, since it is basically an explicit polyfill for non-browser environments.
And they are wrong. It's most likely not going to kill them or anyone they know.
What does this tell us about the energy efficieny about the whole Javascript ecosystem?

I am not in the position to make realistic estimates, but it sounds pretty wasteful. I have worked in mobile devices space and there you need to think about about energy efficiency to have your battery last. Shouldn't the server and Web guys need to do the same to save the planet?

Not pointing to isarray in particular, but this looks like a tremendous overhead to get minimal functionality. Is isarray an exception we can ignore or a pattern that repeats in scale?
Yeah, he also did some excellent YouTube videos and tutorials which helped me get into i3 and mutt, but I find it hard to recommend them now because they're mixed in on his channel with some weird ranty videos that, at best, don't have much to do with tech.

I still recommend mutt Wizard though because it makes it so much easier to get everything set up. I feel like it should be absorbed into neomutt or similar because it feels like such a basic thing to get right.
If at all you could make it stateless, you should. For one, you don't need a db. Also, there were some people in the thread that liked the local storage feature. Finally, as a user, I can feel safe using your service because I know at any time, if you site disappears, I have the url and I can trivially parse the url into json and do whatever I want with it. You could even build the parser or have an export to json button.

If you want to add more stuff like images, longer descriptions, some links, etc, then yeah you'll likely need a backend

This is correct. Blackmagic introduced a full raw workflow recently which was a game changer. Red holds a patent on raw video which they’ve been real dicks about aggressively enforcing. It has stifled innovation. BM got around that by partially debayering their capture and storing it in a format that gives you the flexibility of raw but is more performant and avoids Red’s patent bullshit. It’s amazing to grade BRaw footage. You just keep pushing it and, oh look there’s detail in those shadows and those highlights aren’t actually blown out. No banding, no grain, massive color depth at 12bit and the flexibility to change ISO in post.
It took me a few hours to figure it out the first time...

Which company? Npm Inc? Github? Microsoft? Google? Mozilla?

Each of those would cause an outroar, and it would be near-universally agreed that having a decentralized ecosystem is better than being beholden to the whims of $company. (it doesn't help that 3/5 of the companies I mentioned are Microsoft, famous for embrace-extend-extuinish)
"We have 10 million illegal immigrants in the US. Previous administrations have been soft on border enforcement, which led to that number constantly increasing, putting regional pressure on wages, lower class jobs, and regional cultural identity."

There are lots of ways to solve these problems which don't rely on separating children from families. Interesting you feel the government should act in order to ensure stability of regional cultural identity, and that damaging families of these migrants seem to be a reasonable answer to do so.

Also, no law forced this policy of child separation. They could have created family focused detention facilities. They could have done a lot of things. They did child separation to convince people to not come to this country.
Sadly reminds me of the very early days of online video, where speed runners would video their televisions because screen capture devices were terribly expensive.

What's old is new again?
RED cameras are a personality cult. Sure they had great resolution back in the day, but they expensive, and a massive pain in the arse to post process, unless you bought their crappy redrocket cards that were uber fragile.

> I wonder if it's some form of competitive advantage to have in-house software?

There is only one company that "goes it alone" and thats pixar. Even then they've steadily been replacing their inhouse tools with off the shelf ones.

From what I recall the only other company that went inhouse was rhythm and hues, and they went bankrupt in 2013.

Most of these tools come from VFX studios in the first place. Nuke, baselight, photoshop, renderman and katana all came from VFX studios originally
Except there is no right to medical care. However, there are actual rights to the other things.
I've wondered this too. I've seen someone make a COVID data library but I thought about how much more difficult it would be to learn the library instead of just importing and manipulating the data.

My best thought is that it saves time to import, it saves visual lines which may make it easier to understand what is code ripe for modification and code that shouldn't be changed.
It added some moderation tooling in the last year or so, I'm not sure about that specifically though.
You might have AD(H)D. It is underdiagnosed in adults. CBT can help many cases by practicing focus and attentiveness.
This year, sure. Next year's phones will probably refuse to photograph copyrighted design elements. But that's OK because you can always use a film camera and develop it yourself and hand-deliver a print.
Please don't try this at home! 118 MHz - 137 MHz is a protected Aviation band across the globe for airplanes to communicate with air traffic control.

The parent specifically mentioned keeping senior level employees. Juniors can easily jump ship for pay raises, but as you get senior, other values start to becomes more important. Your wage level is likely “good enough” and so stuff like stable working hours, a team that you can rely on, stability etc. become more of a deciding factor, especially once you start settling and having a family. 10 years + doesn’t sound implausible, especially if you had 27 years to build the team. The ones that stick around for longer than the initial period tend to stick around long.
Fair enough, I don't necessarily see a problem with a non-single payer universal health insurance system as long as it is affordable for people.
How do you know that? Have you purchased? Can you share your feedback about guides there?

I’m looking for something like that right now, to have some good growth guides for my new product in one place. Really intrigue about quality of content in there.
It is now, but it wasn't standard functionality back when this library was first published.
The Democrats work very hard to keep other political parties’ candidates off the ballot (see: Green Party in Wisconsin this year for example). They don’t go after republicans (as a party) for the same reasons republicans don’t go after them. The other party has enough resources to defend themselves, and they need each other to play the foil in elections so as to maintain the facade that Americans are making a real choice.

Republicans work about as hard keeping more right-associated candidates off the ballot (e.g. libertarians).
My impression is that the word was popularized from mafia movies depicting Italian mafia guys saying it, and that it means like "understand?" or "get it?"
Both left and right are becoming more partisan and more unable to form any sort of consensus or compromise. I think that's the real issue, when the goal of each side is only to crush their opponent.

Avoiding Bash frustration – Use Python for shell scripts
It doesn't matter how important the issues are if the political system is so paralyzed it can't get anything done.

The USA seems to have devolved into a system where elections are like votes on those huge omnibus bills that rightly get so much flak - if you want to see action on the environment, you have to also support increased welfare spending, increased gun control, gay rights and any number of issues that have nothing to do with environmental policy.

Similarly, if you want fiscal conservatism, you have to support people who want to ban abortion, oppose any climate action, use the state to prop up religion in society and so on and on.

This is nuts. The two-party system seems to make it impossible to tackle political issues on their merits, and I hope the people start to organize around specific issues instead of around the current parties. Pick an issue important to you, maybe starting on the less controversial end, and I think you will find that if you don't mix it up with every issue under the sky, people across the blue-red divide will support it. Organize those people outside the party system, and maybe you can get some change going.
NY. Mediocre pay. Conservative corporation.

It was also important to keep employees for a long time. I worked for a Japanese corporation, and my boss was 7,000 miles away, and didn't speak English.

So, for me, keeping my employees happy, and feeling valued, was important. Since these were fairly senior (C++ programmers that had been coding around 30 years or so), I gave their families and personal space a lot of respect.

This was appreciated, and I was rewarded with personal loyalty.

The risk to the corporation was that it was personal loyalty. I have no doubts, whatsoever, that, if I had left, the entire team would have left quickly behind me.

My management was not as respectful of my personal life, as I was of my employees, but I enjoyed a pretty remarkable level of trust, as I have some fairly well-considered personal Principles.

This sounds interesting! Are your dotfiles public?
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Red light cameras seem to be hated because they catch everybody impartially.
No, I wish it did. I've spoken with the author and he's pretty adamant at keeping it really focused and keeping out any feature creep. Instead he's just fixing bugs and doing some performance updates.

Instead I just download the PDF from IA into the folder where it should be and tell Ubooquity to rescan the books it's managing and voila!

I think it's impossible to enforce this worldwide, and any website can be based in any jurisdiction. The consent popups are also super annoying. It's also hard to define what "essential" means.

I'm personally much more in favor of the technological solution: I block all cookies and only explicitly enable them on websites that I need to log in to.

I don’t know the content strategy for the site, but depending on the site, most link to inner pages. Once you find individual articles, those usually can have external links.

This is making a lot of assumptions on the content structure, that’s true. But it would be interesting to analyze.

For how to get the links from the database, not for this, but I have used the `urlextract` Python package to find urls. Then you can use `urlparse` to the get the domain.

For how to extract this from the database, you’ll have to write some sql to find the tables you want, then you can do a `select * from table`. Then it’s parsing the output, get the urls, get the domain for each.

I would probably aggregate all the urls and domains, then at the end actually scan so you can deduplicate entries and not waste time scanning the same domain over and over.

For the images portion, I’d look into imagemagick compare tool, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compare/

You can take a screenshot of a page at the moment you know it’s good, then take daily screenshots. With this tool, you can grab the daily screenshot and compare it with the known good one and the changes are highlighted.
