All that additional crud has probably contributed to the "relative ease" of conducting tracking as well as the "richness" of the data one can gather from tracking. Why should we ignore this simple fact.

The people behind these browers, especially Mozilla, keep assuring the public they are working to protect user privacy. This may be true to some extent but what they are not telling the public is how they are working to ensure the online advertsing industry continues to thrive, i.e., how they are working to ensure they do not upset the status quo. The words do not match the actions.

I would not rely on the browser developers to address this problem. To experiment with how well minimalism works on today's web, one can use alternative HTTP clients that allow control over headers and/or one can use a forward proxy one can remove/modify headers generated by the browser.
Evatac Laser Sight Review, Legit or a Scam?
If you are going to redefine feature parity X11 to mean feature parity with the much smaller core of features that you believe ought to be in wayland vs part of some external package like gnome/sway/kde it would seem that you can trivially argue yourself into deciding you have arrived no matter how impoverished the feature set you choose and how meaningless such a conclusion ultimately is.

Nobody wants to decide their interface based on a combination of gpu driver, apps, features are fully functional.

The actual question at hand is how many of the now more fragmented set of platform are feature complete and to what degree. Comparing apples to oranges is a waste of your time and my time.
Possibly yes, and Apple has historically never been into that. Macs were not the biggest share either.

It's not "being aware". It's being required to police your speech to shield your managers from imaginary accusation of offending some group - where claims of offense usually come from people not even belonging to that group, but just enjoying the whiteknighting and the grandstanding. Being required to spend time on changing your code because suddenly established industry terms are deemed "offensive" by some busybody who would never even see this code and never had and never will since would have a look on it. Being dragged into political power games which one has no interest in and would rather concentrate on writing good code. Having work with people being promoted for reasons other than professional competency, and being denied opportunities for reasons other than professional competency. Etc., etc.
Is it possible to contribute to the user experience of GIMP? I've tried GIMP a number of times over the past 20 years and it's just totally illogical, imo. It would be great to have an open source alternative to an Adobe product that was more well thought through.
I just replied on the linked issue. If anyone wants to get started making a jmap server, about a year ago I pulled out the cyrus jmap email parsing code into a standalone C/wasm library:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mime-to-jmap

Its a bit of a mess and it needs a write-up, but it should be a reasonable start to making more jmap servers. (This does not implement the jmap application protocol, but it does generate fantastic json from any email blob, incl attachments, snippets, html and text output. And thats crazy difficult to implement correctly.)
#1 Organic growth strategy for startups in 2020
If you’ve founded or currently run a D2C mobile startup with a product that is publicly available and find yourself looking to grow your user base in an affordable manner, I may have just the right solution for you. (FYI: the following is not a sales pitch, everything is free )

As you should have realized by now, TikTok is the #1 organic growth opportunity for companies and personal brands alike, but sadly the tech scene has been lackluster in its efforts to make the most out of these free eyeballs while they are ready for capture.

I’ve personally built my TikTok profile from 0-100K+ followers in under 90 days, gathering over 17,700,000 views in the process, and have helped mentor other creators and small businesses which have amassed multiple million followers in total, which have translated into tens of thousands of dollars in revenue for many of them.

However, my passion is in technology, and as a consequence of this I live and breath startups every day of my life, which has inspired me to dive deeper into this ecosystem and lit a fire in me to get my hands dirty aiding those who are currently in the trenches making things happen.

For this reason, I’d love to personally help you create a detailed TikTok growth strategy for your app or company that translates into actual username and revenue outcomes absolutely free.

I am looking to build experience in this new transition, for which all I ask in exchange is that once we’ve drafted and executed the strategy, you give me honest feedback on my performance as a consultant so that I can improve my skills and abilities for the future!

If this sounds remotely interesting to you, please feel free to reach out to me directly at jan@miabistro.com, or reply to this thread!
> Many teams implement periods where deploys are forbidden - these can be referred to as code freezes, or deploy policies like “Don’t deploy on Fridays”. Having such blackout periods can lead to a pile-up of changes, which increases the overall risk of something going very wrong.

Funny thing with this: CD, or even just frequent ad-hoc deployments can hide problems. When you do a code freeze over, say, the week before Thanksgiving, if you also stop deployments, you're changing the how the system runs, potentially leading to an issue at a bad time that the team isn't experienced in dealing with.

You can obviously configure CD to continue to redeploy the same build during code freezes. I'm just not sure if people remember to do it.

Adding a second UI to the codebase (with a friendlier, less conflict inducing name) would be a fantastic addition to the project.

Something along the lines of a cooperative fork, I suppose, focused on exposing a minimal set of features but keeping the underlying image processing models.

Fewer buttons. Distilled UI. Having a single rapid workflow for saving an edited PNG.

Sorry your rationale and line of reasoning is utterly unconvincing.

You say an amateur video is proof for widespread fraud. You say that inspite of this being the US and the election being the most watched in the world from media all over the world. You want me to believe that not a single media entity picked upon it and pursued it? There is a multi billion dollar right wing media like fox and others, that live for these and you want me to believe they didn’t look into this?

On top of that you also say that the trump administration has extremely credible lawsuits and proof of fraud? I was discussing purely out of intellectual curiosity if am done here. Have a good one.

You don’t have to look very far to see Sweden’s official plan was certainly not herd immunity though community infection. They took a more hands off “do the right thing” approach and I think it’s fair to say that did not fare as well as their Nordic neighbors.

Problem is, people in the US didn’t get the memo. They (we) think Sweden just rolled down the windows and put the pedal to the medal.

So both the perception and the report from various news outlets here has been pretty shoddy.

The Russians are using thermopiles driven by radioactive decay, not actual reactors that go critical. Such devices are indeed quite stable for decades unless they get targeted by scrappers. A few hundred watts from a large RTG is a drop in the bucket compared to the power required to keep a base going, so those aren't applicable.

If you need a transmitter or relay station hundreds of miles from people to run for years without fueling... RTGs are an option for governments.

Google benefits financially even if they don’t place ads next to the content.

Amazon saw the benefit of this when they added “free” content to Prime and Netflix also sees the value though they don’t sell ads.

Great content largely attracts and retains users. Once you have those users, you have their data and can sell other things to them or...

...prevent those users from using and establishing brand loyalty to a competitors products.

I have no idea what the code culture looks like at Boeing, but it's possible that if engineers had more skin in the game, the 737 MAX problem wouldn't have happened. When you depend on a QA team, it's easy to throw code that compiles over the fence and say it's someone else's problem, now.

I would read 1491 before 1493, but you could certainly read wizard and prophet on either side of that. I don't think he has a solution to reconcile the wizards and the prophets. The two approaches are not at all mutually exclusive, but wizards try to find solutions for a larger population, while prophets seek to constrain the population. One point that he makes in 1491/1493 is that native civilizations manipulated the environment much more than previously thought. The Americas were very much a worked landscape before the Europeans landed. They were just worked by deliberate fire, rather than the plough. He says that there is evidence that 1/8th of California was burned every year, which puts our recent fires to shame. The balance of that landscape and its species was destroyed when the Indians were wiped out.
> Dr George Gheverghese Joseph from The University of Manchester says the 'Kerala School' identified the 'infinite series'- one of the basic components of calculus - in about 1350.

> The discovery is currently - and wrongly - attributed in books to Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibnitz at the end of the seventeenth centuries.

Um, infinite series existed in the time of the ancient Greeks (even if they went out of their way to avoid using limits).

An instance of Archimedes dealing with an infinite geometric series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quadrature_of_the_Parabola

Here's the thing, though: phenomena can be rediscovered, with discoveries spaced even hundreds or thousands of years apart (e.g. Pythagorean theorem).

And, there's no strong evidence either way regarding Kerala school results 1) making their way to Europe in the 17th century or before, and 2) influencing results by Newton, Leibniz, and more.

But even if this is the case, Newton's line about standing on the shoulders of giants is apt -- there's no dispute here that he and Leibniz still had invaluable contributions that led to the development of calculus, or that they built on an existing foundation.
But what is it representative of? The few who can afford to or the 1.3 billion? Until you can bring up the majority to a position where they wouldn’t have to rely on moving to cities like Bangalore and Delhi, there is no point in looking down at people whose wildest dream is to get a Govt Job(still the major job provider in India). You need startups and researcher centres at smaller towns, not everyone flocking to the same select seats in IITs and NITs(which is obviously not enough a number for so many kids that still want a good life) or to the same select cities. If you want to be in Thrissur and create a nation-wide startup you should be able to, but can you now?

Seems like a fine paper, apart from the terrible editing, which is Nature's fault and not the authors'.

Nature must have no professional editors on staff. What's the point of paying to publish there if you don't get the professional services? And what the hell are they doing?

Just publish somewhere that has always made all papers free to access and publish. Especially for COVID-19 research. We've always needed better and it's just painfully obvious now.
A good summary of this is you want developers with the SRE mindset.
It’s hard to see why Talley was quoted, it seems like it might be a reprint perhaps of a daily mail article or something by the way of the reference to another UK newspaper in there? Dr Talley is widely regarded in Australia - there wouldn’t be a single Doctor in the country who doesn’t know his name (in a good way) but the quote from him in this article is a bit weird
Very interesting! I wouldn‘t have expected such a large difference considering the economies of scale (you probably need to also calculate a small cost for maintenance but that should be minor I guess).
Maybe in the end it also comes down to the ergonomics of working with a remote software. If you would have a very good client I think that could abstract most of the limited latency and bandwidth away. Onboarding the data might be a hinderance but considering it is only done once (and also considering the services like aws snowcone) I think thats also minor. Given the name creative cloud I would expect adobe at some point to do the move and also provide the compute for their products (or rather services by now)
Any correlation where one can change one of the variables by taking a cheap, safe pill is interesting, unless we can show which way the causality goes.

The Amiga parts are expensive and they were not made to last past 10 years. So collecting Amiga systems is expensive. There are emulators for the Amiga that make it cheaper. Even a white box OS http://www.hd-zone.com/amithlon/ to run Amiga programs.

Two days in. The package is useful and mostly complete. See https://github.com/jimstudt/SSHConsole if you have needs, or just want to see another example of using NIOSS on the server. This one includes the public key authentication which in retrospect is trivial-ish.
Agreed that it's not a good practice security wise. This is what I argued against when the initial request was made (we also had over the air upsates) but it was interestingly the _most_ "security conscious" customers that had requested this - they specifically wanted us to mail them either replacement microSD cards (the disks on the machines) or USB sticks. The machines themselves verified the contents and we also offered a way for customers to download the images directly and verify, but most customers just opted for snail mail. /shrug.

Several of these companies also had strict email attachment filters that we were instructed to get around by just appending `.allow` to the filenames. There was tons of this type of stuff that we encounted which really highlighted that corporate security at many companies is just theatre.
I do want to add a section to the Nix manual that describes what it is (data model, key abstractions, etc.). Everything today is some variation on "how to use it".

I've been through this twice this year where a reasonably large non-tech business came to me saying requesting help, only to find the credentials for their domain left with some previous employee and the "password reset" emails went to some @hotmail.com address noone knew how to access. Businesses see that sort of thing as normal and expect you'll just call the registrar and have it sorted it out.

I absolutely cringe at how easy it's always been for me, but I likewise think anything like you've described would be just end up with an awful lot of businesses locked out of their domains.

Imagine also your coworkers casually mention they'd gladly shoot any pinko commie liberal they'd encounter, good that there are no such people among us! And then discuss how liberals are filthy amoral idiots only worthy of being spit on. And you happen to be a liberal. And even though you know they're probably joking, and they most certainly don't mean you, would it influence your work relationship with those people a little? Would it make you more distracted and less motivated?

And what if they get their suspicions - say, you couldn't bring yourself to praise Trump as much as others - and then your promotion, which one of your Trump-loving managers has a decisive voice on, does not come through, would you wonder why? Would it impact your work? I think it might.

And yet, I've heard things like these (not about Trump, it was even back when Trump was a TV personality) from many people. Did it impact my work quality? I really hope not, as much as I can help it. But I certainly didn't enjoy it.

There are plenty of cofounders to consider, the biggest one might be the transition from innate to adaptive immunity (the latter potentially mistriggering as a cytokine storm).

Robert Gallo presented [1] an interesting idea to keep the innate system boosted by taking extra doses of a vaccine (he proposes using OPV). My pet corollary to Gallo's idea is that kids may have extended protection by having been more recently vaccinated (than adults).

> "white keys are for C Ionian and black keys are for 'accidentals'"

As a guitar player, I find this choice somewhat arbitrary and bizarre. It really only makes sense for playing songs in C major and its relative minor. Fun fact: C is the second most popular key for songs, probably because it's the easiest on piano and easy on guitar. I guess it's also easy on violin and a few more string instruments.

I don't believe Photopea https://www.photopea.com/ is Open Source, but it's a free web-implementation of Photoshop.

Photoshop, itself, is rather general purpose, but if you have a more specific need (like digital painting or photo management and retouching) there are other tools better than Photoshop out there.
