For those that actually read the article - they aren’t banning any words. They’re just updating their policy to recognise those are words that are often used to harass people. Harassing people is always against the ToS for these sites.

I wonder if the people who constantly scream about oppression and free speech realise the damage they’re doing to their cause when they latch on to bad reporting like this.
Privacy arguments, lying etc aside, how is taking out news paper ads to attack Apple a good idea? Apple may have problems, but they are infinitely better than Facebook in every metric imaginable. They make useful products, wildly profitable/bigger than Facebook can only dream of.

Even if Facebook had facts on their side, this is a bad idea. Intentionally misleading ads against one of the world's richest, most capable, most arrogant company with an insanely good marketing machine and legal team - what exactly is Facebook attempting to achieve here? I don't understand this at all. They are picking a fight that doesn't make sense

You can't say that based on the ratings. The parameters of the Elo system can be freely chosen, so you can't compare two implementations at all.
To me, they are more fire and forget with this change, than without.

Before this, they had to upgrade their stack to be ""state of the art"" for 2 or 3 versions after an SoC release. Now they no longer need to. They only have to fix security flaws, but they don't have to bring any improvement whatsoever.
FWIW, the Perl 6 promise was delivered in 2015. Because too many people did not want Perl 6 to be the future or Perl, it was renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media). Meanwhile, Perl 7 appears to be the next promise.
Yeah, sorry I was less than clear. The idea was that capabilities become available to us for exploration, via mass consumer and gaming products. A rather narrow and higher-latency channel. Rather than say a dynamic market of small companies and a diy community. Leaving plenty of low-hanging fruit not yet grabbed.

A less concentrated industry might have been more interested, creative, and effective, at gathering such fruit, and exploring for accessible markets. Perhaps yielding a less slow takeoff. A counter argument is that Intel's RealSense does exist to build on, and Leap Motion's hand tracker and Project NorthStar. A counter^2 argument is these are outliers, with LM's work only remaining available, because they dropped IIRC three separate acquisition attempts by Apple. Most work hasn't remained available to use and build on.

But perhaps a healthy commercial-diy blended market was never an option. Given a patent regime optimized for pharma-shaped industry. There seemed a long-term pre-concentration pattern of patent dodging via non-commercial software, and hardware "kits". Leaving many capabilities already unavailable, because a bit of commercially-motivated effort was needed, but discouraged by a too-small community market and/or associated patents.

The current concentration of effort may well get us more quickly to eventual phone-scale broad consumer adoption of XR. It has motivated the supply and R&D tech chain in a way a small market never could. But perhaps it has also contributed to a less-diverse flatter takeoff. And perhaps, if XR encounters difficulties with mass consumer adoption, it maybe have added a fragility risk of larger delays.
Although unfortunately at the same time increasing your app size by dozens of MBs just so you can use Gecko doesn't seem like an easy sell for mobile apps, especially when you have to compete with the Webview provided by the OS for free.

Origin of the word bug is that long time ago, an actual bug (as in animal) caused an error. Since then errors are called bugs, because everybody loved the story.

I have no idea whether story is true. But, at Dijkstra time, he probably associated "bug" with above story - the error was not human mistake, humans were innocent, it was just bad luck that rarely happens. We are now 40 years later and associations are completely different.

They just needed a bit of persistence. In a 5K run, they sprinted for 2K and then gave up and threw away the baton. Other companies picked what they ditched and profit now. Deeply irritating.
Your comment made me wonder if there was a more precise term for that type of euphemism. Apparently, it's called a "minced oath".

> We don't need yet another step on the euphemism treadmill. Say "defect" long enough and eventually it represents the same idea as "bug".

The original point was that bug is euphemism for error. In 99.99% of cases, errors are not caused by insects.

Dijsktra basically wanted to take step back on that treadmill and use proper word.
That already is the case in the UK, you can get internet without TV service. It's a reasonably competitive market although most of the infrastructure is handled by one company (Openreach).
"...if you are not voting left when you are young you don’t have a heart. If you don’t vote right when you are old you don’t have a brain."

True or otherwise, that statement sums up the position/beliefs for many. Incidentally, I'd argue however that the older one gets the more nuanced one's march along that left-right axis becomes. During one's march one is also more inclined to put in many measures and stops along the way.

What I didn't mention in my earlier post was that the notion of a cashless society is completely antithetical with my increasingly libertarian-leftist views which have been brought about by The State continually nibbling away at one's personal autonomy from many directions, which it has done for many decades and continues to do—little by little, year by year. (The cashless society being one of its latest incarnations/nibbles.)

Those who accept a cashless society without question or a fight are like frogs in ever-increasing warming water. Sooner or later they'll wake up and realize they're in an Orwellian world from which they can never escape. (As I see it, it's better not to arrive there in the first place.)

(Incidentally, whilst it's necessary to do so here, I don't like using the term 'libertarian-leftist' due to commonly misunderstood connotations that associate it with the more commonly known 'libertarian right'. I must point out that these political positions are, for the most part, diametrically opposite — put both parties in the same room and it's likely to be war.)
That's just the market's "gut reaction" so to speak.
>The Umbrella Academy one of the characters dances to "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany. It is entirely superfluous. It's not a new technique. I recently watched Love Actually for the first time and it had at least 3 of these types of scenes

The Umbrella Academy Tiffany scene was clever, because the characters although physically grown up are known as the Umbrella Academy children, they are in their childhood rooms and dancing alone, but together. So some character development involved in sort of underlining their estrangement from each other but given it is a love song also their love for each other. I could go on as there were several other clever touches in the scene.

The one I remember from Love Actually is the Pointer Sisters Jump, for my Love, which was not clever and sucked.

For what it's worth I dislike both of these songs quite a bit.
There might be newer Radars too, I can only see that 2016 one because some kind soul set up a public interface to show a subset of submitted Radars. With Apple's opaque and in-transparent bug reporting process there's no way of knowing if someone already reported it. I've submitted numerous feedbacks already but I can't do that for everything or do the homework for a trillion dollar company.

yeah, I agree that macos seems to have the worst window management, both in design and implementation (particularily performance).

i3 sounds like a dream window manager to me, but in the meantime while I use Mac OS (& Windows), I've been using yabai, which is heavily inspired by i3 but limited by Mac OS.

Google forced Microsoft to remove Youtube and other apps. Also Microsoft kept 're-inventing' the phone OS multiple times requiring app authors to keep rewriting the app to new API's.

A lot of patent fees paid to Apple and Google for every phone sold.

Windows Phone was really good and it had millions of fans. It would probably do well in today's duopoly market if relaunched but MS has lost interest in phones presently.

Processor: Micro:bit has a 32 bit Arm processor, which is an entry-level 32 bit processor. Arduino Uno has an Atmega328P, which is an 8-bit processor. Arduino has 32k flash, 2k RAM, while Micro:bit has 512KB flash and 128kb RAM. That makes a big difference if you want to be able to run modern programming languages like Python or Javascript (much of anything beyond C), do numerics (e.g. robotics or control systems), etc.

Peripherals: Micro:bit has built-in wireless, so you can have the talk to each other. It has microphone, speaker, accelerometer, buttons, simple display, etc. You can do a lot of things without any shields or extra hardware, and for most projects, you just need one. If I'm building a robot, I get a board which can control motors and servos. With Arduino, I need a whole pile of things.

Lessons: Micro:bit also comes with very nice on-boarding for kids, and I do things with kids. Arduino is a half-dozen more steps of impedance.

Are there higher-end boards under the Arduino brand? Yes. Do they share much of anything with Arduino beyond the name? Not really. If the pinout changes, the processor changes, and the only things which stays the same is the brand logo....
I like when my cat can do a gesture saying "follow me" and then when I follow, he will lead me somewhere and then point with a paw what he wants e.g. a particular treat or when something makes him happy, he will jump and meow in certain way that you can feel it means joy. He also learnt how to say "no". If he doesn't want something he will meow "neeoow", in an eerily human way.
I had another theory, budgets for streaming shows are falling. Adding a song as filler is probably one of the cheapest ways to add 3-4 mins to your 60 min contractually obligated episode length? Or maybe not. I have no idea if it's cheaper.

The Queen's Gambit had one in the 2nd to the last episode. It was clearly filler and has been called out by many critics. I still loved the series over all but after few moments of that filler I skipped forward to the end of the song.
Napster was around before Google.

People see the digital as ethereal - and it lacks a fixed(ish) production cost per unit, unlike a physical product.

I don't know what a fair price is for access to any form of digital content, other than less than the price of a AAA game (Orange Box excluded).
Would like to try it at some point. I am trying pandas now b/c other people are using it. So far - the more I learn pandas, the less I like it. Not a good sign. I keep finding things that annoy me in pandas, b/c have seen them solved in array languages (like q/kdb) and matlab.
Similar to this is the trope of having a short musical suffix to every scene. Music fades up or intensifies during the height of the emotion in a scene and then the show cuts to a new scene.

I first noticed it in Suits and Billions but it's used in loads of shows. It gets pretty annoying once you are aware of it.

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem. VR isn't new at all and besides gaming it really didn't pick up speed in any other industry. If anything AR could be a "revolution", if miniaturised enough (contact lenses size).

I received a free HTC vive after participating to a conference in 2016, used it a month and it's in a drawer since then. None of what the speakers were promising happened, VR is still the thing you get out once every 6 months to show it to a friend, the wow factor lasts 30 mins.

.. attached to your display and keyboard by a single USB-C connector. Or I suppose Miracast.

This turns into "would you like to buy a surprisingly not-cheap dock that's useless without the phone, or a separate computer that's properly adapted for its use case". Like 3D movies, it's something that the industry periodically comes up with, pushes for a while, and nobody actually wants because the compromises are too much of a downside.

It's far more likely that "smart home" and "smart TV" stuff will, very slowly, converge into a single integrated ecosystem where you can easily use your phone to control Netflix on the TV. "Casting" (a la chromecast) shows the way forwards.

I recently migrated to Windows from MacOS and have found the following paid apps really helpful:

1. [Pengwin](https://www.whitewaterfoundry.com/) - a customized Debian distribution with helpful scripts for setting up a dev environment

2. [X410](https://x410.dev/) - a customized X11 Server

They made all the setup really easy.
I reuse some of the scripts from Penguin in the Ubuntu distribution.

Remember that this is the company whose app Instagram was secretly accessing your camera until that behavior was exposed in iOS 14:

https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/25/instagram-unexpectedly-...

WhatsApp was also randomly accessing photos.

If you chose to only give an app access to some specific photos instead of all, it caused iOS 14 to ask you if you want to revise your selection every time the app accessed photos. This was happening at random times while using WhatsApp, even when you did not choose to send any photos to anybody at all.

Also from Reddit:

Fascinating article. Thanks for sharing. Reminded me of Go, now waiting for an opponent to play with.
One of my biggest bugbears on C / C++ programming is return 0; I wish people would #include <stdlib.h> /<cstdlib> and use EXIT_SUCCESS / EXIT_FAILURE just to make the code more obvious for the beginner on what the intent is. :-) To quote the "zen of python" "Explicit is better than implicit" we know what "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE" is! And we can use enums for other exit values.
