Using QR/Barcodes with Swift: Keeping Your Code Safe from Covid
I think it's more than just expensive housing, it's the quality of life that comes with it. A lot of people like to ignore this, but people don't want to spend millions on a house and then have homeless people take a dump on their front steps or dodge needles when walking around or deal with high property crime and unchecked craziness.
Thanks for the links. If the intention is to expand over time then I agree it makes sense.
Yes. Tools like this are great for business writing where clarity and concision are priorities over literary beauty.

I'd like to see what it makes of the average software TOS agreement.

Check out the serious difficulties the Common Crawl had with crawling 1% of the public internet on donated money and then get back to me with a plan. This is really, really hard to do for free. Maybe talk to Gates :)
I did not meant to imply that you implied, you did not.

Just that the a lot of those frustrating and isolating aspects are not that you are less made or less capable for it, it is shared frustration and depression. Tho, advantage of being mom is that you can find other mom to complain to. I agree it is harder for men who are less likely to be in that position.

Hormonal things are more after birth. Moms can also get "touched out" when you don't want touch anymore. Some of cuddling is really done because you know it is good for kids.

I don't want to be the one who will say your experience of being uncomfortable more does not exists. It is way more ok for women to touch other women them males touching other males. These aspects are much different between genders.

Imo, a lot of women specific socialization is really about teaching women how to break isolation etc. It is the thing I realized only after I had kids. A lot of stereotypes were actually adaptation.
will it? do people really spend that much time away from an outlet while on their laptop?
> otherwise they don’t know how to improve the product.

Or, you know, they could just ask customers how the product is working for them. Automated data collection is a huge, huge problem and stampedes over civil liberties. We ought to control our computers, and not be controlled by them, which is why I vigorously oppose all non-free (proprietary, non libre) software.
I hope to never use your search engine. I love hand written HTML as much as the next guy, but search engine's are made to find things. And useful information exists on web sites that use generated and/or minified HTML.
China already has 14nm online, and should have 7nm in a year or two, so that means that we will probably see some real RISC-V chips from there soon, if sanctions continue.

So I think that we will have a four way competition between Intel, AMD, Apple, and Chinese RISC-V chips.

That being said, I don't see x86 dying, I think AMD and eventually Intel when they wake up will be competitive.
Depends on what you're building, you might not have other environments as such, but I get the point (I'm pro CI for the record).

Most US healthcare is neither free nor particularly a market. Most healthcare in the EU has a significant market element to it, and it works just fine (and usually costs less per capita)
Hasn’t been a problem for me for years. It seems to me that often this argument is based (directly or indirectly) from conditions 20 or more years ago. I think Emacs itself hasn’t changed much (it’s gotten better, but not fundamentally different), but the supporting environments (read: hardware) easily make for a usable experience. There are better poster children for bloat these days.
Do we have numbers on how big the M1 is in square mm terms?
Hi. I took a look at Mojeek (first time I've heard about it) and since you mentioned the site and you work there -

In your Privacy page (Data Usage Section) there is a mention of stored "Browser Data" & " These logs contain the time of visit, page requested, possibly referral data, and located in a separate log browser information." & "We may also use aggregate, non-personal search data to improve our results".

This is an honest question - How is that not exactly what the Parent stated was the issue?

So they save your web searches and claim that they do so in an non-personally identifiable way.
The idealist in me fantasizes this is possible with a browser-based P2P zettelkasten.
> you can encode with only two bytes (e.g. UTF-16)

UTF-16 is variable width, not two bytes, and it can encode any Unicode character.
Am I the only person who just doesn't have problems with DDG search results?

What am I doing wrong (or right), here? I put a thing in and find it. I just don't use Google any more.

Genuinely curious why it's working for me and such garbage for everyone else.
Why go to the CA when they can just order the domain itself to be shut down? If there's a court order against you, your site being HTTP won't save you.
Not quite, even with normal approval voting there's no way to distinguish between voters who want to say "all these options are undesirable and everything is broken" and those who want to say "life is good, I'm cool with whoever" and those whose votes get lost or obstructed. The reason why the notion of a "protest vote" is so pointless under our current system is specifically due to the indistinguishability of the first from the latter ("people didn't stay home because they didn't like the candidates, they stayed home because they're so content!"). Additionally without mandatory voting it's difficult to determine where and how voter disenfranchisement is happening, but at the same time it would be unethical to force someone to cast a vote without giving them the option to voice discontent with the options.

Are there performance implications of needing to upload the entire state needed for a single frame? Or do none of these encoders have such caching anyway & thus it's just pushing the complex pieces of resource management out to user space where it belongs better?

In think warrior ideal describes exactly that. You've got tools, skills and internal readiness to be the danger but you're not until it's necessary
I don't think Git has a "terrible UX". It really is no less worse or better than any random CLI program.

But yeah, I fear people have issues with Git because unfortunately they reflect upon their experiences with other SCMs (like Clearcase, SVN, RCS/CVS, whatever) and think the same terminology and concepts apply in Git and then it goes wrong.

Git is not really rocket science to use. People who find Git difficult or nonsensical should spend 4+4 hours of their weekend playing with Git while reading Pro Git. It's available for free at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2.

Specifically, read chapters 2, 3, 5, and parts of 7.

You should intentionally skip chapter 10, more than likely you don't need it.

Keep Pro Git handy and come back when you've a specific need.
It's not due to the on package or the united memory. M1 is using industry standard 128bits lpddr4. On package is still using regular dram chips. What seemingly is the advantage is the firestorm cpu has much wider pipeline and capable doing more load and store in-flight at the time. Also the cache is also able to provide low latency and the bandwidth numbers. Intel or amd is able to achieve similar performance in memory bound workloads if they designed the logic on cpu for that workload.
Facebook and Google are huge, global companies where their main product is free, and yet they aren't a charity. The only way to be mega-rich and offer something free is to be shady and manipulative with user's data. Exploiting privacy is their business model. They aren't gonna respect it.

Being super financially successful off free products and services is not a recipe for an honest, citizen respecting company.

And yet, a cheaper COL "build-up" city like NYC is experiencing similar flight due particularly to high density. And SF is (or was) the second densest large city in the US.
That sounds a bit like YaCy.[1] It is a program that apparently lets you host a search engine on your own machine, or have it run as a P2P node.

I think the next step forward should be to have indices that can be shared/sold for use with local mode. So you might buy specialised indices for particular fields, or general ones like what Google has. The size of Google's index is measured in petabytes, so a normal person would still not have the capability to run something like that locally.

Edit: In another thread, ddorian43 has pointed out the existence of Common Crawl,[2] which provides Web crawl data for free. I have no idea if it can be integrated with YaCy, but it is there.

Privacy or not I'm starting to find things on ddg that google has been filtering.

You're thinking of Ars Technica, I think.
> At least 34,803 of the address change requests, or 28%, were to new addresses within San Francisco

So... not quite the >100k number that the article starts off with.

Also not clear if there's any data being considered about people moving into SF from outside. Yes, I expect this to be a smaller number, but it's still irresponsible to breathlessly talk about an exodus without factoring it in.

So looks like the total "exodus" is less than 89,328. Which... is that a lot? No data on a similar period for last year, so nothing to compare it to.

And just not sure why this matters? It's been pretty obvious to those of us here that a lot of people have been leaving during the pandemic, mostly people who've had to be here for work (and no longer need to be), but either never wanted to live here, or wanted to but have found the cost not to be worth it. I will not shed a tear for the people who never wanted to live here. For the people for whom it's a stretch to afford living here but want to, that genuinely sucks, and we still have a lot of work to do to fix that, pandemic or not.

But it's not like the city's population or housing market is collapsing. Rents have dropped, but they're still unaffordably high for a lot of people. Home sale prices have mostly held up. There's a lot of worrying around commercial real estate, and I think that's a legitimate thing to worry about, but I don't think the sky is falling just yet.
What exactly do you think the definition of a "climate change denier" is? - It's someone that doesn't think Earth's climate is changing. It's NOT someone that doesn't think CO2/cows/etc actually has a role in it.

Climate is indeed changing. What he's trying to argue is the role of CO2 in all of it.

100% right about this:"The important part is recognizing why".

So far no raw data has been made fully available to see see what, how, when and why. At least I was not able to find the data those graphs that you keep popping up are based on. I also don't remember seeing any of these graphs taking account solar activity either since that is our heat source after all.
I write small and highly connected (e.g. I often drag from one letter to the next, only lifting a bit), and I'm also impressed with the recognition. It's not perfect of course, and doesn't seem to have many smarts about context (... good and bad. I can write weird stuff easily, but it also turns "recognition" to "hecognition" like in that screenshot), but it's much better than I've been able to get out of other devices.

For me, at least some of it is that the pen is more pen-like ("hard" rather than with a tip that depresses), and the sampling rate is much higher than e.g. a Surface. I have a Surface device and I absolutely can't stand writing on it - I have to write huge and slowly and lift a couple mm, or it screws up all over the place. ipads are dramatically better, but they still sample slower AFAICT, and close many of my "e"s into "c"s and similar loss-of-detail.
The government of Surrey, BC and its self-aggrandizing mayor should by no means be an example of good governance. This is a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.
If you're looking for something that can be anywhere under /, then the target directory needs to be /.
Not strictly true.

Taking a loop and adding a bunch of `x|0` can also often boost performance by hinting that integers are fine (in fact, the JIT is free to do this anyway if detects that it can).

The most recent spec is also adding BigInt. Additionally, integer typed arrays have existed since the 1.0 release in 2011 (I believe they were even seeing work as early as 2006 or so with canvas3D).

Here in the US, Apple is fielding anti-trust accusations about removing this. In the EU they are facing privacy concerns over leaving it in.

I'm with the EU mostly on this one. Though I do think it's silly for them to pursue Apple at this point when they are already pushing to improve this.
Where did you live? People always talk about shit on the streets, but I only really see it as an issue in like downtown(SOMA,Tenderloin,etc) and tourist areas. I've lived in the residential areas (usually within a block of a major street with shops and restaurants) for 6+ years and it has never been an issue.

And the areas I've lived in definitely have massively more "SF culture" than downtown.

If you refer to your citation (from 2017), it states that electricity prices were high because of natural gas shortages and coal generator closures, and that the payback period on storage and solar is down to 7 years (storage systems have 10 year warranties, rooftop solar and their inverters typically have 25 year warranties, so after your payback period, your power produced is free to you). Renewables drive down the cost of power [1], being the cheapest form of electrical generation.

The "South Australia Big Battery" at the Hornsdale Power Reserve, recently expanded, has saved electrical consumers $150 AUD million [2], cannibalizing frequency response revenue from thermal fossil generators (natural gas). It is not intended for long duration discharge.

It's certainly in package rather than on the same chip. The process required to make DDR is different from what you use to make the core's logic. The DRAM chips might be literally stack on top of the CPU chip, though. Apple does things that way in the iPhone IIRC.
Skid row LA is unreal. I did not think that level of poverty existed in the first world.

Yes, but that a temporary situation and likely to be resolved in 6-12 months.

Some customers will still choose the older models due to various concerns.
-Some customers will hold off out of fear of incompatible software.
-Others will hold off because they need to run boot camp or x86 VMs.
-Others will need extra RAM or Ports.

Others will have no such concerns and will embrace the new.
Apple is slowly moving to mini led displays and probably micro led displays after that. That should also improve energy use.
It's a perfect benchmark because even 20 years later performance is only getting worse, rather than better.

Developers will use all available resources until their is pressure to be more efficient. This is not a critique of developers, this is the nature of software. Unless critical development time is spent making sure that software is responsive, it will only ever have barely acceptable performance.

Which is why new, faster CPUs have very little effect on users. Any performance gains will be gobbled up by new software frameworks that promise better use of developer time, but which may come at an absolutely tremendous cost of UI responsiveness.

Spotify, Slack, Office on Mac, hyper complex JavaScript web frameworks... all will continue to take more and more CPU cycles that are available.
I actually came here specifically to comment that based on my personal experiences with the RCMP, their ineptitude and moribund bureaucratic nature makes me surprised they're able to actually do anything useful with the tools alleged in this report. And then I saw that a number of other people have already commented essentially the same thing.
The key is to use tools like this selectively. I often use a style checker on my fiction, to highlight repeated words, sentence fragments, passive voice, overused words, and clichés. Most of the suggestions I ignore (particularly sentence fragments, which I use a lot in stories), but it's still a good exercise in making me consider whether I can rephrase sentences to be stronger or more interesting. Sometimes passive voice is what you want, but sometimes the sentence is better in an active voice; it's easy to overuse intensifiers like "really" and "very"; and there's a few other verbal tics that tools like that can catch.

Technical writing may be a bit more formal, but you still have to selectively apply suggestions from tools like this.

Having said all that, I find Hemingway Editor to be infuriatingly bad at this. It's terrible at actually editing, while it's a plain text editor it's not Markdown-aware, and it doesn't actually catch the sort of things I'd want such a tool to watch for (like "actually" earlier in this sentence). Its primary function is to harangue you about sentence length.
I suppose it could be read as an attack on the poster, but I meant it much more as an attack on the expectation of raising kids working out easily in that situation, as indicated in the latter sentence.

Given the context of 'hating fatherhood', pointing that out seems relevant.

I've had the privilege of this experience twice, both girls. I'm 35

The first one, picture perfect. I could feel my body "go to battle" there was this sense of pride and drive. I felt like I was fulfilling a part of my life that was absolutely necessary.

The second one, we failed. Pre-mature by 3 weeks. Bacterial meningitis within 4 days of her being home. She's here with us now but she suffers from global sensory deficits, CP and retardation. It was the polar opposite of my first experience. Pure torture.

The biology of fatherhood is a powerful one, it can give - just as much as it can take.
For anyone who's a father out there, without a connection to their child, especially a healthy one. You're missing out.
For any fathers out there who have had to endure failure, you are not alone and those children need love too.
You're right... I'm misremembering the GPL, wikipedia says that it was only 'Early drafts of GPLv3 also let licensors add an Affero-like requirement that would have plugged the ASP loophole in the GPL' - I hadn't realised it never made it into the final version.
All of those only make sense to me if a commit is a finished work item. If I'm committing just because I want to switch branches or pull, most likely what I'm committing is not meaningful in any way. If I squash later, it doesn't really matter, the reviewer will see one commit anyway, so committing often or not didn't help.

And sure, it's easier to ship small features than large ones. But it's harder to follow one complex change as a series of short patches than one big, self-consistent change.

So to me, commits should be as often as possible, sure, but that is normally once a day or once every few days for serious features / large bug fixes. I usually want to pull or switch branch much more often than that.

And related to release time: typically we have a single main branch that serves multiple projects. When one of these projects is close to a release, they cut off a release branch that is feature frozen, in order to fix any remaining bugs and thoroughly sanitize it. In the meantime, other teams continue merging features into master as they are ready. Bugfixes normally also go into master first, and they are then cherry-picked into the release branch (or branches, if there are multiple releases overlapping). So for us, during this release window, cherry-picking is something that every team member does constantly.
I'm waiting for ncurses implementation of stories.
I'm also shocked at the amount of COVID downplaying, but I guess it's better than the usual "only one right opinion" you see on other controversial topics where the echo chamber is stronger. I guess I'd rather engage and debate a COVID denier than have their posts simply downvoted to -4 and flag-killed.
