One of the challenges of using a large-screen device in the sun is that most screen technologies (including transmissive LCD and OLED, but excluding eInk and transflective LCDs) are inherently "black" -- they absorb light energy that hits them. Even when they're displaying a white screen, they're absorbing nearly all of the light hitting them, and then emitting their own energy.

One of my mild annoyances with the iPhone 12 is that there's no white option. I have a white iPhone 10, and it's essential equipment for me as a convertible driver -- on a sufficiently sunny day, the phone will overheat on the center console screen-up, even when it's powered off! But with the white side up, it's fine even on sunny days breaking 110 degF.

The only way around this I could see for laptops and tablets in the sun would be a return to transflective displays or other non-black options... which would also be a huge boost to battery life in well-lit conditions. But none of these techs seem to have comparable image quality, and there are some inherent challenges (potentially addressable, but challenges) with color balance etc.

Adobe will make it happen and docker too. That's just a question of time. As oppose to Microsoft, Apple is taking to switch to arm seriously. Adobe currently has app running natively on the ipad. Between docker and the browser, there is a lot a work you can do, the world is not binary.

As for price, when you build a comparable system, price are similar between companies.

I occasionally watch YT videos on my Fire TV Stick. Although ads are technically skippable, the on-screen directions don't actually work. I was watching a concert the other day and got stuck in a 3 minute ad that I couldn't escape. I just exited YT.
Re: comparing to jQuery.

A lot of the ease and benefits depends on your style.

If your code pattern was to have variables holding your state and rendering html based on that, you will have an easy transition to React ( and likely didn't suffer horrible pains with jQuery).

If your code style is to update the DOM to reflect your state, and when you need to know something about state, you read the DOM, then React will feel odd and complex (and you likely have had jQuery projects work great until they hit a level of complexity and then they suddenly become brittle and hard to change)

This is why I prefer React - the best practices if React are just the best practices for functions. (That and I don't like the pseudo js syntax of Vue with the mysterious scoping)
Politics is an interesting domain. Everyone has an opinion. Most are convinced they know what’s going on, despite the fact that they lack the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate the subject matter (math, science, medicine, law, business, economics, etc.) and absolutely refuse to do the research necessary to have anything approximating a valid opinion. It’s D-K at it’s worst.

I went through a phase of deeply researching topics in an attempt to communicate the realities and facets of many issues. After a year of nothing but frustration (and worse) I stopped caring. People take sides on these issues like picking colors. It’s crazy. It’s amazing to see just how attached they are to their chosen perspective while knowing so little and making no effort at all to research and understand.

One of my favorites is Climate Change. Both deniers and supporters are engulfed and fully invested in their respective delusions. This means the reality of the matter is in the hands of a minority with no voice.

The same brain that allowed us to survive in the wild is now driving mass delusion. We are still cavemen.

I have to, begrudgingly, agree to that point. Most major news sites are barely usable without multiple content filters (ad blockers, etc.). AMP really pushed them into making things load quicker and with less weight.
Or if everyone continues to use AMP because they are not able to match the performance, that’s also great? :)

The entire AMP design was driven by the need to make same origin serving of the content possible in a safe manner. That is where the performance gains come from, not from having lighter markup. And that is still just as true now as it was five years ago.
The BBC asked a similar question after the event: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-53755289.
I do not think that it is fair to say that changing a default is equivalent to taking a choice away

For my technical friends, that would be true. They can adjust their settings and be on their way. I won't block their choices aside from intercepting requests to the ISP DNS.

Most of my friends are not technical, have no idea how to tweak the settings in their browser and would not know they even need to care. So I think it is fair to say that a choice is being taken away. It isn't like browsers are going to prompt people and explain what is occurring. The masses will experience centralized DNS without any idea this is happening. I think we will fundamentally disagree here.

You could block your guest's VPN connections, but you don't do that.. why not?

My guests can choose to use a VPN if they wish, I would not take that choice away. That is an intentional move to protect their traffic. DoH is not an intentional choice. They did not choose this. If a technical friend chooses a DoH server, their laptop won't work and I will explain, if I had not already, that DoH servers are blocked. Anyone that knows me, would expect this behavior. Anyone that is my friend would accept this. We probably just have very different circles of friends.

> like all our laws -- is enforced at the point of a gun. But... so what? That's how laws work.

that's a fair point.

But an extremely critical aspect of contract law is the notion of unenforceable contracts. The court is not going to enforce a contract to share racketeering profits, and it shouldn't enforce Imaginary Property contracts either.

> just generally unworkable from a practical perspective. Personally I find that kind of anti-IP thinking to be naive

We are moving there (I've been working in this area for nearly 2 decades now—but obviously some people many more decades than hat), but it is a continuous struggle.
No, I'm not suggesting there is a single truth. I'm suggesting that people think critically and keep an open mind that perhaps they are wrong or don't know the whole picture.
I wonder if Amazon will have sufficient buying clout to get better medication prices that they can pass along to consumers. That's been a huge benefit of centralized universal healthcare buying in other countries.
I think that the point is that for most definitions of "civil timekeeping" you just do what Unix does and ignore the leap seconds altogether and simply live with the fact that once in a while one wall-clock second takes two SI seconds (or does not exist at all), probably by simply being completely oblivious to that fact.

"...and pretty much have their entire business on there..."

This is what I don't get about YouTubers. They created a business with basically only one source of income. This is bad practice in every business book.

I am a freelancer. If I only had one customer my business would be instantly over when they didn't hire me anymore.

YouTubers put too much trust in an untrustworthy business partner.
The part where they overlay Australia's recommendations for safely storing ammonium nitrate over the blast zone analysis was equally impressive to me.
Not sure I get it. When you say it "schedules" a task, what does that mean? Is it just putting it in the prioritized list?
It's not just old breaches. I do similar things, and got anew address reported. Unfortunately, the new address is one I actually use for a bunch of things, so now I have to go through the site lists.

Edit: I looked through email at the services I signed up for with this address, and searched though the list; I'm fairly sure it's the account for a local game club :(
This sounds like a pretty straightforward cause & effect here. Creators went for direct monetization outside of youtube instead of ads, and youtube responded by keeping their net income the same by just showing ads anyway.

> But at the same time, there are people who have so heavily invested into the YouTube ecosystem with certain expectations for a very long time, and pretty much have their entire business on there, so they can't very easily take their business elsewhere if they're unhappy with the change.

A key part of running a business is risk management & mitigation. YouTube has very obviously been an ad-supported video platform for at least a decade. Hoping nothing changes about your little ad-free corner of that platform is not a sound business plan.

It's shitty that Google didn't give a heads up, but anyone whose business is riding on this should definitely have been expecting something like this and had a backup plan. Literally free content hosting is obviously not a thing that will exist for very long. Enjoy it while it lasts, but you know also have a Vimeo account ready to go as well or something like that.
I especially hate it for reddit AMP links, since 100% of the time I have to click on the original link anyway to read the full comments, so it's an extra middle step for no good reason.
Ah ha, yes I would say it would make sense to pick one, but only if that one is doublequotes ;)

Personally I have a few reasons why singlequotes are inferior:

- String interpolation requires doublequotes

- Using an apostrophe requires you to escape it or use doublequotes

- They're harder to type on a Japanese-layout keyboard, which I use (it's shift+7, lol), which is otherwise really efficient for Ruby

But there are arguments against doublequotes too:

- I guess they're maybe harder to type on an ANSI keyboard?

- They parse ASCII escape codes, and singlequotes don't

But in my experience I need to use interpolation and apostrophes more than I care about not parsing \r so I use doublequotes everywhere in my own codebase.

So I would just rather not force either, as people seem to feel strongly both ways and the added frustration is probably worse for productivity than having it look a bit neater :)

Honestly I think the "community" chose wrongly in trying to standardise on singlequotes-unless-you-need-interpolation, when it should probably be doublequotes-unless-you-have-a-good-reason, but it's pretty hard to change that now.
There's only so much one can do. At work I had to even implement AMP at the request of an upper level, requested by marketing or the seo team. Everyone hated it but I can totally understand it: it made total business sense to appear in the Google rolodex search result

More often than not, kdb is chosen as a basic time-series storage and retrieval. Which is a bit sad because thats really a small part of what it does well. Other firms use KDB in a more holistic manner, for building a distributed services system for example. (look up Torq from AquaQ)

Where to find opportunities? Probably going to a job board and searching for KDB is a good place to start - most opportunities will be in trading or trading-tech related roles.

The first AI built to democratize the fundamental equity valuation is launched
A UC Berkeley-based fintech startup recently launched their product JENOVA - an AI system that automates the fundamental equity valuation process and provides investors with accurate, actionable valuation ratings on 800+ US stocks [www.jenova.ai].

There are numerous high-quality solutions in the market to address retail investors' how-to-invest problem, such as commission-free trading and fractional shares. But currently there lack high-quality solutions to address retail investors' what-to-invest problem, such as what stocks to buy or what investment metrics to look at.

What is a high-quality solution to the what-to-invest problem? The majority of institutional investors utilize the fundamental valuation method, the most theoretically accurate approach to valuation, to analyze and guide investment decisions. However, because this process is highly technical and costly, accurate fundamental valuation results are always monetized via exclusivity (running a fund) rather than accessibility (distributing to retail consumers).

JENOVA is built to democratize the fundamental valuation method. Through automation and AI, JENOVA is able to cost-effectively perform the fundamental valuation process on a large-scale and make the results accessible to retail investors cheaply and conveniently. Learn more and sign up for free at www.jenova.ai.

"Use strong and unique passwords" is a good practice, but it's not really actionable in response to these breaches.

How many normies without password managers remember every site where they created an account in the last five years? Even if they start using strong and unique passwords now, they won't go back and change passwords in services they've forgotten.

All I know from Cit0Day is that my account was breached in one or more of 23000+ sites. I can't tell which one(s), so it's not actionable.

Troy runs haveibeenpwned as a free public service, so it's not right to ask him to do more than he already has. But to be actionable, each email in the Cit0Day dump could be associated to the individual sites so users would know where they'd been pwned.
Congratulations - welcome to your time as a moderator. Your total punitive actions are X. Please feel free to use them as you wish, after which you are welcome to continue using the service forever.
I actually would support the idea of a prompt. In lieu of that, I prefer default-on to default-off, but I think I could agree that a prompt would be the best option.

Although if the only concern is that Firefox defaults to a poor choice (in your opinion), why not just block Firefox's default specifically? Why other public DoH servers too? Or why not just block the Firefox DoH canary domain which prevents it from defaulting to DoH unless the user specifically turns it on?
At first I thought 5 seconds was a long amount of time, and then I loaded my company's website and noticed it really does take 5 seconds to load. It's a self-hosted Wordpress site on the GB business internet in our office.

My anguish for the worldwide state of education is abysmal. School and university are necessary, but the goal isn't to make us curious and wonder about things or excited to learn. The education system packages us up for work and is heavily focused on knowledge, not understanding.
If you fail school, or uni - or look like you failed - people think you're dumb and unintelligent.

You can be lucky sometimes and get a teacher who's actually passionate about their subject AND is able to teach. Most teachers and professors I had were just I'm the system and mentally done. I can't blame most of them. The salary is often miserable, the curriculum bad, the books boring, administration annoying and the parents... good grief. Of course some really shouldn't have become teachers or let near kids, but that's the minority.

Anyway, I'm really glad the pandemic happened. Studying biology and physics at home has been rewarding and highly interesting. If only school and uni were/had been the same...

This is a smart play by Google now that they're under antitrust scrutiny. Instead of abuse their market position by forcing AMP down publisher's throats, they can do much the same thing but with an appearance of neutrality.

I think most of us here know that 99% of publishers will not be able to match AMP in performance, so the incentives haven't changed.

I like the change though because this will force everyone to pay attention to website performance - something that's often an afterthought. We used to be able to use the internet over a dial up modem and it was OK, not great, but OK. Now that would be nearly impossible.

Why do people use DoH?

- they want DNS over TLS [multiple reasons why].
- they want to work around "problems" in the architecture of DNS.
- they want to force new functionality [read: protocol changes] on users without other DNS infrastructure adopting it.
- they can.

Are there lots of problems with DoH? Yes. Are we ignoring them all so we can get the above? Yes.

If you love privacy more than freedom, DoH is great. If you want the internet (and local/private networks) not to resemble America Online, DoH should frighten you.
