I learned recently that having Advanced Protection enabled also rewrites all URLs in your email messages to use the Google URL redirector, even when accessed via IMAP.

It breaks PGP signatures, among other things.

I'm 4000 hours deep into factorio, been playing since I think v0.13? Whenever it first hit steam in 2015.

QoL mods:

- Long Reach: Highly recommended if playing on >1080p res display

- Squeak through: Once you start laying pipes for fluids this becomes an essential mod for moving about your base

- Even Distribution: Evenly distributes items when you click drag to fill multiple entites with items, eg furnaces with fuel

- EvoGUI: Simple display overview for keeping track of biter evolution and basic environment info.

- Vehicle Snap: Makes it easier to align to a given cardinal direction

- Blueprint Extensions mod (Continued): Get the Continued flavor for version >1.0 compatibility. This mod gives some basic tools such as mirroring or rotating blueprints, very useful.

- Bottleneck: shows a simple colored dot over some entities to show if it's input starved, output limited (overfull), or running normally. Makes it easy to see at a glance what is backing up in sections of your base.

- FNEI: Want to know how to make something, or what use a certain item has? this simple mod shows how anything inthe game is made, or everything it can be used in. Also has great mod support, even full conversion mods.

Conversion/Gameplay Changing mods:

- Bobs And Angels modsets: Think you've figured out factorio? Want more factorio? More logistics? More recipes and items to make More things? Step into Bobs w/ Angels modset to ratchet up the complexity by an order of magnitude or two (in a good way). Want an extra challenge? Get the Sandblock mod, which is Bobs + Angels but starting on a tiny island, and you have to harvest resources to build your factory - including the land you build it on - from the sea.

- Krastorio: I actually haven't gotten around to this, but it's another full conversion mod that is highly recommended by many members of the community. Definitely on my to-play list

- Rampant Arsenal + Pitch Black: Want more of a RTS-esque combat challenge? Biters too boring/easy now that you've come to grips with Factorio's core mechanics? Deathworld too easy? Give this ago. It greatly expands the arsenal available to you should you choose to build them, but also greatly ramps up biter aggression, difficulty, and variety, especially at night.

There are many many more mods to choose from, and the modding community is very vibrant, and well supported from the devs themselves, with an excellent mod portal and mod loading system integrated into the game. It's by far the best mod community and integration in a game I've ever seen, and people are still churning out all manner of new and interesting stuff, as well as improving upon the classics listed above. There are also many I've not specified (eg FARL, LTN, etc) that many would consider essential, but this is already a long list.

EDIT: Also just realized this is a 9 day old thread. Came back from the holidays to my desktop and this tab was still open, apologies for the necro.

I don't think she is right. Her main argument in article stems from an assumption that denarius (day's wages) mentioned in one verse connects it to another book's unrelated verse that also mentions denarius.

It probably isn't sustainable for a business to only consider this aspect. One thing that comes to mind with companies that thrive with a large number of small non-B2B customers, who individually don't tend to have much power, is that they understand that people love to talk about customer service when it's bad, and occasionally when it's very good as well. Word spreads, and nearly everyone places at least a little weight on this public perception of kindness or flexibility with customers especially when it isn't in the immediate financial interest of the company to do so.

Yes, so Github has to take on the assumption that they are visiting relatives, not resident in Iran.

Or you get the alternate headline "Github facilitates Iran sanction evasion by allowing Iranian developers to mark themselves as 'visiting a relative'" and the associated charges.

Any evidence of harm or a plausible theory of the mechanism for the harm.

By evidence of harm, I mean some sort of peer review study that hasn't been refuted by subsequent studies. There are plenty of people on the internet claiming 5g causes covid, etc who are extremely uncompelling. I don't count that as evidince of harm or a plausible theory of how such a harm could come to be.
If Google brought that option back, I'd switch back from DuckDuckGo, privacy be damned.
Ten minutes ago I agreed. There is bias to be fixed, but perhaps this is not the place to do so. But then, do you really need to know their name and gender _before_ the interview? I think there is an argument here for obscuring the face and other PII from the resume and letting people clear the initial screen bias free. It of course won't cure all or the most severe forms of discrimination, but it might reduce the subconcious biases that we all have. There's certainly a level of fuzziness here, but PII seems a reasonable line to draw for the in / out.

I agree with your assessment and that's basically where I'm at with the idea. There's absolutely _something_ there, but gaining traction is going to require _significant_ effort (money?).

Re: talking to users first - 100%! I am fairly active in my community and talk with local business owners all the time. This is where I got the idea in the first place ;). Agreed though that doing this formally and generating some user stories before any development could help focus MVP.

Negative review is definitely a big problem and I'm not an expert on that topic, at all ;). If such an app were to have a review system it would be imperative to ensure the trust-worthiness of reviews shown to users.

Though, I'm not sure you would need reviews at first, at all. I generally trust most of what I buy from a given shop X... I trust their purchasing and supply chain departments to have done the research for me. I never think twice about buying X electronic from Target, for example, wondering if that night light for my son's room is going to combust. One of the benefits of brick and mortar, I suppose.
Yes! Extremely helpful and time saving. The app has changed since then but a few years ago I had a blast using it.

You can also indicate who is speaking as you generate a transcript. I would then export a closed caption file and use ffmpeg to generate the video based on who was talking before merging it with the audio (think no budget v-tuber, just a different image on screen depending on who’s voice is playing)

I think you're reading it wrong; the phrasing as I read it is consistent with your "frontend devs at the bottom of the pecking order" perception. The original quote says "good luck being treated like a real engineer" implying that frontend devs are treated so poorly they aren't even considered to be real engineers.

FWIW, frontend is a suite of hard problems which are distinct from the problems we face on the backend but no less challenging. Frontend development today certainly seems a lot less rigorous than backend development in the sense that there seem to be fewer best-practices and more of an embrace of a certain "cowboy/ninja/move-fast-and-break-things" chaotic ethic (engineers from other disciplines would balk at the characterization of backend engineering as 'rigorous', but I think it's fair to say that we devote more rigor to it than frontend development). I think this is largely due to our industry deciding that frontend was a low-skill position and thus putting most of our most junior engineers there to sort it out, and then we on the backend mock them for churning out new frameworks and tools in a desperate effort to bring some order to the chaos.

I like the idea of hiding details from the hiring filter and selection process that may contribute to bias, but never seeing or hearing the people I'm working with!? Sounds truly terrible.

Also, unless your voice changer actually selects/changes the words/pronunciation of the speaker, it will still be easy to identify details about them.

This argument mostly comes from the upper-middle-class types who make Friedmanesque arguments on the Internet, who seem to focus on their eventual retirement moved into low-interest assets like bonds. They want to make the big risky investments, then stop the whole economic engine once they're safe.

Actual Chicago economics arguments are much better than the ones you hear on the Internet. I think they're still pretty bad, but not as bad as the parodies based on first-half-of-the-first-semester Econ 101. HN in particular is often full of that kind of argument, because it attracts a demographic of exactly that top 20% who have lots of assets but enough in cash-equivalents -- or imagine they will some day real soon.

> If Bob paid $COST for a phone and it got exploited because of this, Bob may throw his phone out of the nearest window.

You and I both know, despite many attempts, there is no hardware or software out there that is unexploitable. From the most locked down chromebook to Apple's walled garden, these devices can and are exploited.

The idea that if somehow we take away enough of your freedom we'll make the device safe is basically a bald faced lie. Not once in the history of computing has it worked out. Even my internet connected lightbulbs which literally have only an on and an off exposed are exploitable.

No amount of removing user freedom will make users safer. This isn't a rocket surgery level conclusion, which means companies that continue pressing down this road probably have some other reason for doing so.
This is a cool idea. I searched a few major cities and didn't get any results though.
All marques seem cyclic due to new models being released I guess.
I feel like it might be almost trivially solved with a “buyer only needs one [for X months/years?]” property on the items.

Hate to say it but a 'plugin system' for a gui application is a bad smell. Look at plugins for hyper -- people write a few and then quit. That's the good outcome.

A more likely outcome is to be like Eclipse which more or less works out of the box to develop Java, occasionally gets a group of plugins put together by a vendor that works, but it will fail if you install enough of them.

The trouble is that current gui frameworks do not support encapsulation in that there is a single thread used to draw everything. If component A takes 10 sec to draw, component B has to wait.
> Maybe if people like you had followed the travel restrictions

Excuse me, I was traveling for business. I complied with the regulations exactly as they are written.

You can complain about people ‘not following the rules’ all you want but it changes nothing. There are no meaningful travel restrictions enforced anywhere on the US mainland. Without enforcement, Americans do not and will not follow them.

Hawaii is the only state with actual enforcement and compliance.
Interested layman, but this always kind of rubs me the wrong way.

I consider it a universal warning sign when your physical theory postulates that reality works a certain way underneath, and then conspires to keep you from exploiting this way. Superluminal collapse, for instance, or closed timelike curves; it seems to my intuition that these are clearly flaws in the theory rather than properties of reality. In a sense, the sci-fi concept of the ansible, where quantum collapse effects are exploited for FTL signaling, is more plausible than the view where quantum systems collapse instantly, but cannot be exploited for FTL. If your theory requires FTL in the "backend" to operate, it shouldn't end up with FTL just happening to not be exploitable in the "frontend". So I expect that when we find the true ToE, it's not going to end up with traits where the data structure in principle allows a certain capability, but coincidentally doesn't give us access to it; all limitations of that theory would follow directly from its structure, so that illegal operations cannot even be expressed. So when we find a practical limitation to the exploitation of a physical theory, then this seems to me to require, barring very good theoretical reasons to the contrary, a genuine underlying property of the universe that justifies this limit.

As such, it seems to me, purely from an intuitive view, that of those three claims:

- reality is quantum

- quantum mechanics requires exponential cost to simulate

- quantum mechanics cannot be exploited for exponential computation

One has to be false! If reality requires exponential cost to simulate, we shouldn't expect it to then turn around and hide that capability from us. God famously doesn't play dice with the universe; but I doubt he's playing Poker either. Personally, I suspect quantum mechanics is cheaper than is widely believed.

Idk, am I missing something obvious?
No.

Beside Android 5.x/6.x devices, I has Symbian 9.x (Nokia N82) smartphone which works perfectly. And there are a lot of new apps for it:

So, software devs should NOT declare users to buy/upgrade hardware.
I very much agree - the likelihood that your business will die because it just isn't great at selling stuff seems much greater than the likelihood that it will die because you get really unlucky with a service provider.

THAT SAID, it seems worth it for even a really tiny company to spend a half hour thinking about "what would I do if github (or AWS or google or the app store or whatever) cut me off?"

Probably in a lot of cases the answer is "call them and beg forgiveness" (i.e. if it's AWS), but for something like github it seems like "switch to gitlab" (or "deploy git server" or anything else) is a pretty easy move.
