> I wonder if one of the kids in that school mentioned (for the sake of argument, in an appropriate setting like a discussion group) that they had read this book at home, how well received that would be?

Probably received just fine. Nobody is saying kids shouldn't read this book. They're saying its a misleading depiction of racial history, and therefore is a bad teaching tool.
How many people actually understand what securities HTTPS provides. I remember clicking through them not knowing what they meant or thinking there was nothing I can do about it. Or thinking no one REALLY can snoop except in theory.

And that is the problem.

HTTPS messages need to reform. How about “the website and its data is observable and can be spied on by a third party along the network. Please be careful when entering data.”

> their explanation does make some sense, that if IRCTC is super fast and efficient, then people with cash to spare/with computers and good internet access will hog all the tickets, denying people in rural areas a fair opportunity to purchase tickets.

If I understand correctly (and I might not) that sounds utterly absurd to me.

It sounds like you are saying "the official website is badly buggy and slow, but that's fair because some people in rural areas don't have good internet connections". I don't understand how a buggy and slow website helps those users! I would completely understand having a bug-free and fast website that reserved a certain proportion of the tickets for rural users or even for those with poor internet connections, but that doesn't sound like what you are describing.

Special Fridges for Covid-19 Vaccine, Why It's Difficult to Be That Cool
This is an interesting question! I'm not sure there is anything I need to hear from these two. That's not to say that polarization and disinformation being amplified due to social media bubbles isn't a serious problem. Rather, I don't think it's up to these two to fix it, nor even understand it.

As a society we need to first understand the problem, then decide on what, if anything, we want to do to fix it. Fixes would most likely take the form of some sort of regulation.

E.g. something like where in Canada, some percentage of media has to be from a Canadian source. That law is very contentious in Canada, but you could imagine a similar law for any system that does content recommendation. E.g. some percentage of the content has to be sampled from the total body of content, and not come from the recommender. Something like this might address polarization, but disinformation is a thornier problem.

In any case, it needs to start first with understanding what is going wrong. Things like Mozilla's media bubble study is a good start. From that we need to form policy. There is no role for CEO opinions in all of this.

Oh, definitely. But the Linux (or alternate OS) fans are not really on Apple's radar. OTOH, they do a good job of keeping some core binaries up-to-date, like zsh and Vim, and they did appeal about getting good compile times during the M1 release event, so they consider POSIX users part of their target market.
No. Engineers introduce vulnerabilities through their normal day to day duties.

The thing to do is familiarize yourself with the OWASP Cheat Sheets directly related to the things you do day-to-day...and to check if the thing you're working on relates to one you're less familiar with.
Bannon didn't literally call for Fauci to be beheaded. He was using a fairly old-fashioned figure of speech to call for Fauci to be fired and for an example to be made of him. If that sort of comment warrants a ban, half the sports fans on Earth will lose their Facebook accounts.

Those tertiary effects are the entire point of using the market to transmit policy. They work; the market works.

It sounds like putting people in jail doesn't work?
There isn't a bifurcation in the namespace for local resources. Any given name could resolve to a local address or a public one. There isn't even anything requiring a local-only server to have a private address -- it's common to have a public IPv6 address for something which is still only resolvable or accessible from the local network.
Who knows when they will actually change it. They were going to have the change when iOS 14 released but they paused it when they received pushback from Facebook. Now on iOS 14 you don't have access to the permission setting and you can't reset your IDFA anymore either.
When you're writing into a text file and then save it, you don't have to manually select what lines or pages you're saving - you're saving all of it.

This is the mental model 99% of newbies will have for something that basically pledges to save and sync each version of your files.

Deviating from the user's mental model will create roadbumps and should not be done without a very strong rationale. Especially not for a feature that's fundamentally optional.

Wrong. Apple's iOS/macOS development footprint is far far far smaller than the footprint of generic software development using macOS. I have seen a lot of developers shitting the bed this week over the state of macOS both in person and in various other places.

We already have a couple of people who have got so fucked off with macOS their macs are running Ubuntu 24/7 and they're buying Dell/Lenovo next time. Hell I sold my Apple kit earlier this year because I was completely fed up of dealing with broken shit all the time. It's just a horrible experience.
Best way is to increase your visibility by building portfolio of your work. Build personal projects around various full stack technologies. It will put you way ahead in competition. Nothing impresses recruiter more than some live projects under the belt.

Good Luck.
Thanks for checking the site out! Would it be possible to share details in regards to the functionality that is being blocked by your adblocker? We’re not running any ads and about the only thing that should maybe not work is Google analytics.

For root rsync in Ansible, have you tried using "become: no" and the synchronize module with "rsync_path: sudo rsync"? IIRC that's worked quite well for me.

It'd need passwordless sudo so only a minor improvement, but avoiding root login allows you to limit which tasks run as privileged/non-privileged users, tick boxes when it comes to audits, and allows multiple users to run the same playbooks under their own account.

As you've just said, it might not fit everyone's needs, but thought it's worth putting out there for anybody who would prefer not to log in as root.
AFAICT this is no longer possible in iOS 14.
The problem is that appshare all have fairly high turnover, even of "good" drivers. Just look at how much Uber spends attracting new drivers.

The end result is that there is a constant stream of new, unrated drivers, who can ruin your pizza.

With drivers paid by the restaurant, you tended to get the same delivery guy (or a small set of delivery guys) for years at a time.

They should announce they're going back to naive ranking and sharing, and that they expect all external moderation requests to come through legal channels. (And then spend their billions digging the widest moat of integrated services and infrastructure they can)

The trouble is that algorithmic feeds work really well. If they remove algorithmic feeds in an environment where competitors are still able to have such feeds, then they will be outcompeted in the long run.

This is one area where legislation and strict enforcement barring algorithmic feeds would work, though execution would be difficult.

Replying to your first point, I think it's when Facebook adds their own original content. The bit of law quoted above mentions:

HTML isn't designed for good looking. The default stylesheet for HTML is impossibly ugly. Heck look at HN, hardly a thing of beauty.

However, most people do a lot of work to make web sites and apps attractive. You can do that work with Swing or JavaFX too. I've done it before, it was fine, I ended up with a modern web-ish feel to the UI.
You are assuming that meat from Argentina does not come from animals that are tortured. Please do your research: many countries are adopting the American CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) model - thereby importing the practices of animal abuse.

The argument I am making is towards the largest audience on this website: people living in the US. The argument is to encourage them to eat less meat.

Just because you have come up with some plan to fix the problem does not fix the problem. Until your plan is implemented, buying meat in the US causes a tremendous amount of animal suffering. Your choice to purchase the meat results in funding further animal suffering.
There is nothing preventing your ISP from providing DoH itself. Firefox (currently) does not use your ISPs settings by default (which imo is the correct move for now), but Chrome will use your ISP/router's DoH settings if it provides DoH.

There is nothing about DoH that forces you to use a single company.

That's the consequence of resting on your laurels and getting complacent. They relied too much on being the large incumbent, and they reap what they sow.
Locale handling and most of the str* function in libc indeed are quite bad. The only sane function for "C strings" is snprintf.

Interesting project. I'm curious about his mention of server costs in the sponsor request - it looks like he's serving downloads of the icon pack from github, so that shouldn't be a big bandwidth cost. It appears that he's using vercel serverless; the free tier appears quite generous, and the $20 paid tier should be affordable. I understand asking for donations, more just curious why it is expensive to run this.

Edit: never mind; seems he's using firebase storage, which could get pricey. Maybe it would make sense to serve over github pages or similar to keep costs down. Or even an el cheapo VPS, which should have more than enough space to store the images and plenty of bandwidth to serve them. Cache the number of icons and run a cronjob every ten minutes that scans the directory and updates the number.
I'm not a big fan of Apple, but this makes me genuinely happy. Seeing discussions and benchmarks of CPUs where Intel isn't even a contender is fantastic. What a lovely day!
Is there a reliable way to know whether any of the involved commits have been pushed anywhere? I would probably usually know off the top of my head, but not always.

> Apple markets this as a "Pro" device for professional video editing. That's why I believe it is fair to take their word and compare it against my other options for a professional video editing rig.

That's ridiculous. Threadripper has 8 to 16 times as many cores, runs on hundreds of watts of power and such a CPU alone costs the same as several Mac Minis. Them claiming you can use it for video editing doesn't mean you can expect that a 1.5 pound notebook will measure up to literally the biggest baddest computer you can buy.

The single core performance between the 5600x and the 5950x isn't significantly different. The charts have some interesting gaps...

Because Microsoft, much like most of the ecosystems around ARM, didn't build their own CPU. They got an off the shelf mobile chipset, customised it slightly, rebranded it and then chucked the whole shit heap of windows on top.

> Apple markets this as a "Pro" device for professional video editing.

No they don’t. Claiming something is capable of video editing and marketing it as a video editor are two very different things.

The 3 macs introduced this week are apples lowest end devices, 2 of which still have ‘big brother’ intel versions for sale today.

If you’re truly ‘irked’ that the lowest-end, lowest power, first release devices aren’t comparable in performance to the highest end desktop chips, then you’re putting the wrong stuff in your coffee.

So.. if I place it on a slab of ice, it would work the same as Pro?

Tbh, the only reason I didn't even think of buying a pro is because I don't want the touch bar. I might still buy an air if there's no touch bar on the pro, but the decision will be a lot harder.
Graphics API support is a OS/Driver thing. OpenGL has been deprecated on MacOS for a long while now, being stuck on a old version (4.1). Apple refuse to support Vulkan also so the only officially supported Graphical API on MacOS is Apple Metal.
I've never understood why so many pro developers around me speak so highly of git. I get that its powerful but why does it seem so convoluted?

I'm not a git expert. Just a developer who likes to get things done with the least amount of effort. I use a combination of git cli, vscode git extension and SourceTree to do everything I need to do. I hate that I have to use SourceTree given its many flaws. Yet, the way that it lets me visualize branches-merges history and do interactive rebase is just unmatchable.

Also, never understood why Github Desktop exists or what people use it for.

I watched and read multiple reviews and Dave2D seems to be the only one who tried to quantify the throttling to some extent, all the others only had useless statements like "The Pro will probably be able to sustain unthrottled workloads for longer thanks to it's active cooling" - No shit, sherlock. For me the fact that it only throttles after 8-9 minutes (!) of heavy use is going to be the deciding factor that will allow me to go with the Air (and actual physical function keys) over the Pro, so thanks Dave.
High-end, maybe. Not high-performance. There are segments and use cases where Apple simply doesn't have an offering.

The context is Switzerland. In Switzerland, and much of Europe (except the UK, CZ, and several other countries), current ID is required to get a mobile phone number. Even on a postpaid plan after proving identity, anyone with indefinite residency must keep their status up-to-date.

The US and aforementioned European countries (among others)/are better about this because anyone can just get a SIM/number.
But shouldn't it be? There's a problem and you have a limited amount of money to spend fixing it. Every dollar you spend by not flying is a dollar you can't spend on something else.

I understand the appeal of "We have to do something and this is something so let's do it" but that never works in practice.

what if flying people around in produces 10 Trillion dollars a year in value. That money can be used to build a 1,000 solar farms that will will reduce the amount of CO2 twice as much as just stopping all those flights?

Or what if the politics of stopping people from flying are mind mindbogglingly toxic. They'll vote for and support people who will happily build coal plant upon coal plant just so that they can keep flying. But for that they'd happily pay the taxes and/or pay the capital to build a million wind turbines.

Look, I realize this is just a dumb thread. It won't change a mind one jot but maybe someone here will make an argument that - pro or con - will make the end result come about or not come about a bit faster.
JVM apps can start in <100 msec, and IDEA has a 'lite' mode now where it's more like a text editor. That starts very fast.

IDEA is slow(ish) to start because it's an IDE so it's loading tons of plugins, a project database etc. Though actually recent versions only take a few seconds on my admittedly high end MacBook.
And that's a bigger problem with git than the horrible commands. Every project I've worked on that has used git has had a diff-based workflow, and sometimes the mismatch is painful — I wish I didn't have to know about `--full-history` and that `git show X` isn't necessarily the same as `git diff X^..X`.

I really hope something like pijul takes off.
The 12” MacBook could not be updated to newer Intel chipsets due to thermal issues. The single port was also a limitation. Once Apple upgraded the Air to retina, a large part of the market for the 12” was lost. They were too close to each other and cross-competed except for the super portable use cases which was not large enough.

This model of Air is obviously a transition product with new guts in an old shell. I suspect that as Apple introduce fully redesigned, second generation Apple Silicon products, you might see something that is closer to the 12” MacBook.
That explains why I couldn't turn up the heat before getting out of bed this morning. :P At least the thermostat itself is still working fine.

Well, I don't know if I'm depressed but let's say that despite having a stable life; a loving wife that cares about me, a loving family and a stable job, I feel deeply unsatisfied and unhappy.

I hate my job because I feel unproductive, incompetent and frustrated all the time, despite having a good relationship with my wife our sex life has going to hell and I feel it's my fault because I don't feel sexually attracted to her like before. I can't connect with other people because I feel awkward and out place and feel like I don't have anything relevant to say so I always avoid conversations. For this reason I have lost many friends and I haven't made a new friend in 10 years.
