Pretty corrupt compaired to what? Are Japan or France failed states? Both slightly lower in this aggregated ranking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index#2...

I am spaniard and am painfully aware of Spain's problems. And maybe spaniards being so critical of Spain could be something positive (instead of complacency or nationalism).

But honestly? The negativity is pointless and exhausting. Pointless because these are rarely informed opinions putting data into context. Exhausting, because uplifting news need to have an angle that to make them negative.

PS: And yes, I am not denying that there is a lot of corruption enabled by politicians in Spain. And it's a problem. But that doesn't make Spain a failed state. Or how is all of this true:

- Loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein
- Erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions
- Inability to provide public services
- Inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community
Fair enough, it's a pretty cool, not very well known piece of info!
Take a look at these items:

1) confirmation URL (from email) is not "usual":

Good luck! :)
> Moreover, Chromium was becoming the de facto web standard meaning that if we wanted web pages to not break, we’d have to fork Chromium.

This is why we need more users on non-Chrome browsers. I'm sad that Microsoft ditched Edge, and a major reason that I use Firefox is to keep Google from 100% control of the web (well I guess 95% of non-iPhone users). Vivaldi noted that this is a problem, but instead of helping they made it worse. "Not in my backyard" at its finest.
> It seems to be a fact that anime is overrepresented in the American market compared to moving picture products of other countries. How many British productions does one see in America, despite England being one of the closest culture to America, despite all their productions being in English by default, despite 70 years of television excellence by the BBC, etc. etc.? Not very many. Or how about Bollywood, one of the most prolific cinemas in the world, active since the 1930s? Or the aforementioned Korean films?
It‘s called „money“
I just searched "computer path" (no quotes) on DDG and got:
- The wiki page for 'path' as a computing concept
- 3rd result is "how to set the path in MS Windows"
- 6th result is the wiki page for the path variable as a computing concept

I haven't used Google web search for years, has it really gotten that bad?
Interesting design, but it seems viable only by exploiting "free" cacheing given to AWS lambda functions. There are no guarantees here from Amazon, and I'm pretty sure whatever free capacity is there right now would evaporate once people started to exploit it more. AWS lambda should be more convenient than manual scaling, but never cheaper than hand-optimized service implementation.
Sure, but you're entirely missing the point. Question is, is it necessary for programming? I repeat, to be entirely clear, is it necessary? Not useful, but necessary for a beginner to touch the command line?
> sold cheap

Where? Find a place that consistently sells tether cheap. If anything, the lack of this place is a sign of poor research base for the original article.

They mention that some exchanges give tether "prises" sometimes, on some occasions, to a select number of users. I don't see how that is so bad, and neither do I see how you could consistently profit from that. Those incentives are likely to be once per user, or once per referred customer, etc. There are likely protections in the form of "you have to trade for this much in order to realize the total prise amount". I don't see how this is any different from bonuses that many online casinos give out, and no one takes that as a sign that a given casino that does this is insolvent.
Wikipedia 20: last gasp of an internet vision, or a beacon to a better future?
No my whole point was that you're comparison was silly because there are lots of ways to accomplish what you said without downloading gigabytes or using Unity. I listed two other ways that weren't the browser and said that there were contextual trade-offs in what you'd choose to use.

You've decided to take one of those options and attribute a bunch of arguments to me I've never ever uttered.
I don't recall old consoles having magsafe wires.
Reading between the lines the mistake here seems to have been due to data retention processes which were "overzealous". If you have an encounter with the police and they store your details, but you are never charged with any sort of crime, they are required to delete your details after a certain time has elapsed. The process to prune these details is legally required to remove the data from backups also because the police don't have the right to keep your details on their systems any more.

However it seems somehow additional records were subject to the purge which should not have been.
So the cancer cells went with the non-blocking, albeit slower algorithm. With aerobic, pipelines could get filled with ATP and end up blocking the essential NAD+. So the optimization was a loosely decoupled slower fermentation process over the faster aerobic process. Back pressure avoided and all that.

So tempting to go with analogies we are familiar with.
I thought they were both excellent, thoughtful posts. Not being an i3 user, I wasn’t previously aware of Michael Stapelberg but I like the way he’s willing to work on solutions that he has identified, e.g., he offered to create proper archives for the Debian mailing lists.

His proposal for speeding up package management also seems like a useful project. If only he had the same political clout as other prominent FOSS developers.
I had an old first gen Ryzen 3 and was trying to hack some FreeBSD driver to work on my system. If I recall correctly I waited around 3 hours till 3am to build the full FreeBSD image to test with.

I would later upgrade to my current machine with a Ryzen 9 3900X and basically just let the cores go to work building. I believe it took 15-20 minutes to build the same image.
This still proves that CSS layout algorithms are O(EVIL).

Enumerating and memoizing all possible states will still be impractical, even for small machines.
htmx [1] (formerly intercooler) is sort of similar, although the server instead returns html fragments.

Here's an example [2] of using it for infinite scroll (instead of pagination).

I'm pretty excited to try out django-sockpuppet from an adjacent comment!

You can grow food in your backyard in most places in the US especially the south.
The EU is not Australia, so court cases in the EU have 0 impact on Australian ones, no?

Further, it seems that Google won through a technicality, that the European Commission hadn't been notified of the new regulation and on these ground the case was dismissed. That's very different from actually ruling on the underlying issue.
You don't need to 'prove' it. Thats their selling point. Access your messages on every platform.
Well it's closed source, so that makes it a non-starter as a platform to drive most of my Internet usage.
Its rarely political discussion on the internet. Its name calling and spreading lies with no intent to discover anything from anyone else.
If all ingredients are measured in cups, it doesn't actually matter much, since you'd still get good proportions by using any of your cups.

It's problematic if some ingredients are specified by volume, others by weight.
The Covid-19 pandemic is getting worse
So basically abusing how serverless functions are supposed to work by "warming them up". I wouldn't count on this working long-term as cloud vendors will be more aggressive in discouraging this behaviour.
Just tested with canvg.js Canvas2D render. Looks terrifically crisp and clean even scaled way up. Thanks for building!
I still have prime, and a good half of my "next day shipping" deliveries are delayed by a day, two days or even more.

Granted, the current situation is problematic, but this happened even before and since you are prime, you don't get any money back or something like that. It's just bad luck then.

Now, you might think you could rely on the services where you pay extra for same-day delivery or morning next day. But those end up missing the delivery window a good half of the times I used them - even before the pandemic.

Next day or same day delivery just isn't something that seems to work reliably here in Western Europe.

I know companies where a local driver will literally get in a car and bring me what I need right away, but that doesn't scale to Amazon levels.

Given that prime delivery rarely holds its promise, it is no surprise that Amazon needs to make non-prime delivery even less attractive.

But you know, there are other vendors! Plus, you are less likely to get a fake product if you order directly from there.
I stopped using Dropbox when they stopped allowing bulk note exports in Paper. Paper is so good, but it's ruined by their moat-building. They seem to be headed down a path of increasingly dark patterns.
A significant weakness of Lively is missing proper debugger. Amber (https://amber-lang.net/) has one (but it is not plain JavaScript). The next complaint is that you need to host it.

Ideally, the system should have a good debugger and have an option to be self-hosted like TiddlyWiki (with an option to be served by a normal server). I did some experiment in this regard (https://pavel-krivanek.github.io/amber/amber.html - only "legacy IDE" work) but then you can save it and it will save the new version with all the changes you did as a self-hosted HTML file.
please point what level of the spanish state you believe its clear without corruption, i can point cases from bottom (trash collection) to top (chief of state)
There is also infinite configurability and plugability through aliases and plugins.

If you really hate `git checkout -b`, ship `git make-branch` that suits your taste. You can even package it as a trivial script to redistribute if you wanted.
Now it makes sense, thanks for the explanation.
> In practice, it's more complex and subtle

If ever there were a statement more universally applicable, I've not encountered it. :)

Racing is, of course, about finishing the race (or maybe the season) first (along with all of additional considerations that implies), not just lapping fast.
Well, the linked page indicated that copyleft is something that applies only to distribution and not use, but I guess the AGPL shows that that's not true.

Nonetheless I don't agree with the GNU's claim that copyleft doesn't reduce freedoms. Of course a permissive license provides more freedoms: it's right there in the name

But this issue isn't really about permissive vs copyleft licensing anyway: Had Apache used a copyleft license with Lucene, Elasticsearch would have never existed.
My experience with Firefox quantum was the opposite. Ff became immediately faster and more useable. Experience seems to vary by hardware, sites, and add-ons.
"The findings suggest that drugs that force cancer cells to switch back to aerobic respiration instead of fermentation could offer a possible way to treat tumors. Drugs that inhibit NAD+ production could also have a beneficial effect, the researchers say."

And hopefully that's a path to follow that will help treat/cure some types of cance? This all just barely makes sense to me, but my first question was "Does this help beat cancer in a new way?" and I guess the answer is... maybe?
We just fork the generations here, let grandma die with the old system.
If you remember the con\con bug this isn’t that surprising.
Abstract register machines are normally considered to have infinite memory - because even though the number of registers can be bounded, their size is often not. Unlike the fixed-width registers of a real CPU, abstract registers are typically capable of storing any positive integer.
This is a wild exaggeration, I suggest people read the post in question before parroting on disinformation:

TRump adds Xiaomi to the black list
Quite frankly I'm at a lose to understand why we think these partisan profit driven companies (news corps) should enjoy any sort of privileged status.

I quite happily move through life without them. I bump into their paywalls or adblocker checks and go else and still find myself more informed about nonsense i've no influence upon than is good for me.
Great answer. Thanks!

May I ask how do you negotiate the timezone difference? Do you sacrifice yourself and work in unusual European hours?
Peer 2 peer loans are a thing.
I really enjoyed this article. In a small way, it renewed my faith in humanity and the human spirit, which I could use a but more of in these times.

Reading this article was a great way to start my day.
The Prime Video experience is slightly better after a recent update. Now when you quickly add something to your watch list, it doesn’t freak out and forget where it was/load entirely new genres.
Houston doesn’t have zoning. And both Houston and Austin both don’t try to restrict housing development like California seems to do. Permits are relatively fast to get, land is plentiful and you don’t have nonsense like how San Jose turned 1400 acres of empty farmland at Coyote Valley into an open-space preserve. (Not opposed to open space, but that 1400 acres was literally just empty fields when supposedly the Bay Area has a “housing crisis.”)
Pihole is just a web app running over dnsmasq as far as I know.
Open the Developer Console. Get cracking.
As an aside, this specific problem seems like something there could be a strong cryptographic solution to. eg rather than just deleting records, they could encrypt them first with a public key where the private half is owned by a third party such as the information commissioner (https://ico.org.uk/) and then archive them. If at a later date they find they need them back they request a decryption and give their reasons. If the ICO thinks the reasons are valid (ie the police have the right to have the data and therefore should not have deleted it), then they decrypt, but otherwise the police don't have access to the data.

Usage of the private key could be subject to an audited break glass procedure to prevent abuse.
I do. I don't leave it there generally, but its often easier to get my phone in and out of my shirt pocket when I am seated, crouched, or otherwise actively engaged with something and I don't want to stand up.
It sounds like there's speculation that yes it potentially could, in theory, but it needs to be tested.
Firefox audio developer here, would you mind giving me a link to a couple of those "spatial audio tools" that don't work in Firefox?
Many things seemed to go up in price. Well at least on amazon they did. Most notable was workout equipment. Dumbbells I bought a year before pandemic are up about 50%.

In general we are finding anytime we put something in our Amazon basket, and do not buy it, the price goes up within a few days. Maybe they are playing games with us...
Thanks for the additional info.

Can't agree with your analogy though, that just isn't how the web functions.

Seems like a pretty clear business-to-business issue that should in no way involve the gov.
Spread what risk? They are already making money of you. The risk they take is really small compared to what kind of money they are making...
My point is, in reality we now trust multiple layers of private banks, payment providers like Visa & MasterCard, Google Pay and Paypal.

These are known to give a fuck about society, shutting down things as they like, and even bringing US jurisdiction into other societies.

The advantages of anonymous payments are purely hypothetical for normal people and only benefit big players. Having digital central bank money would enable us to cut off the private money industry that makes a living with data analysis.
Fedora 34 Planning for Better Font Rendering by Enabling HarfBuzz in FreeType
If they're grouped in blocks of 4 it's reasonably doable, especially for the ones at the edges of the blocks (for example F4 and F5 are popular buttons for IDEs and even browsers or other common applications).

It's everything, that's how I subscribe.
Thanks for this article.

The one thing I'd love to see however is whether we'd find the same proportions of nutrients in a more scientific breakdown too. Humans aren't necessarily able to know purely from the experience itself if something is healthier than something else for them, we're more wired to detect if something is problematic or not and also prone to a whole lot of suggestion. While the tasting test seems to show that the immediate experience isn't conclusively discernible, it doesn't tell us anything about long-term health effects (understandably so, they're not egg-researchers dedicating decade-long funding to figure that one out!).
YSK, cancer as a metabolic disease, and tripping over the truth, are excellent books about this, and why we got cancer wrong since watson and crick.
Article also says that other cells using this process include immune cells, so I wouldn’t be on this being a silver bullet.
It is a basic research question - it doesn't produce directly usable results, but the better understanding may be helpful in the long run.
Yeah, sort of as a mockery to the OP title

As someone who doesn't use Debian as my only (or even main) OS, but does manage a few Debian servers, I completely disagree on memorable. I can never remember the order of code names and whenever I read something like "stretch or later" I always have to Google to find out if the servers I have qualify or not.

Other than that, I have zero complaints about Debian
Why doesn't Windows come with something as easy to get started with as Basic? In the 80s almost every home computer could be immediately used to write code as soon as it was switched on.
Interlisp-D did it as well, however we only have the written documentation and manuals.

Maybe with the new revival project it can be relieved again.
Infrastructure and operation of PNC has been outsourced to Logica (now CGI, since 2012). It's not operated by the government itself.

I consider it par the course, though in this case I cannot be objective as my $CurrentCorpo had to kick off CGI/Logica early by 2014 from multiple projects - for, appropriately, gross incompetence in managing their own data centre (a redundant data centre in Wales that goes down for a week due to border routers being out of commission and failover problems tends to ruffle some feathers at high levels, when you asked and paid for for 99.95%+ SLA).
> As the title is just more informative, but not expressing an opinion

What is more informative or less informative (e.g. "phones containing magnets" vs "iPhone 12") could be an opinion itself. The "iPhone 12" title definitely stands out more; at the same time it puts a slightly different focus on the article. I think people here prefer to trust the author and their judgment (as long as the original title isn't open clickbait).
It's not really an ideal solution but I do find wiping my profile/firefox config directory periodically helps speed it up. It seems to get heavier over time.
I started with BASIC on a second-hand VIC20, and then onto assembler on an 80286 running DOS. So I've been there.

I define "fundamental" as something thats in wide use and deployment in actively running systems. Like $PATH being in every operating system used today and /usr/local/bin on every linux distribution running on literally hundreds of millions of servers globally, right now.

And the requirement of understanding these are part of what's holding back the author of the article from not having a running ruby, pip and node.js
How do we know our political convictions are based in reality?
For me, Vivaldi has the best vertical tabs implementation in a Chromium-based browser. I look forward to seeing how Edge tackles the same task.

The user interface isn't perfect, but the tabs work well, the keyboard short-cuts work well, and you can install any of the Chrome extensions you want to ad-blocking, etc
I can remember when I had a severe flu / fever last year (in February so probably not covid) that I only had juice to work (code) for like 30min and then had to lay down for 2h. The strange thing is, I can only remember the numbers but not the true feeling. It is kind of surreal. I should be grateful every day that I am not in that condition and have much more juice/spoons available. Another thing is, no matter how many spoons you have, there is always Parkinsons law to burn through them in an unreasonable way.
This would, of course, be immediately abused to ban competitors' apps.
Partially. OP also wrote that he want's a JS IDE bundled.
Yes they are. Just the backlight is not always on, putting them in reflective mode (again, exactly like the Pebble does).
Maybe I am wrong but at least two points mentioned in your comment are US specific :

"It is caused by peoples' jobs not paying a living wage"
Where I come from minimum wage is enough to pay for a rent.

"the cops really hate the homeless. Someone can't periodically destroy a bunch of peoples' meager shelter in completely unproductive "sweeps" without developing a view that they're less than human."
Again I may be wrong but where I live there are no 'homeless villages' like there are in the US.
is Samba really that hard to setup?
As far as I know, storing identifying data in localStorage (eg. random user ID) is not allowed without consent, but I might be wrong, GDPR law is really confusing.
I already pointed out it's on the slightly higher end of esimtates, but it is reasonably accurate. Regardless of Musk's promises, EV battery pack manufacture takes a lot of energy. Given that you say hydrocarbon fuels (which are typically what power all of the manufacturing processes in question) have their own energy cost, they also need to be added to the EV side of the equation.

I also prefer, in general, to stick to measurements of energy usage, and not CO2e or dollars, because energy usage is what matters. The rest can be manipulated by legislation, and leave too much to interpretation. If I burn some coal to power my manufacturing plant, that's a lot of CO2. If I burn a load of timber from a virgin rainforest to do the same, that's zero CO2, because that is defined as "sustainable".
Every single video app I have on my AppleTV: Netflix, Amazon, Criterion, even Apple’s own TV app, shrinks whatever you are watching down to a thumbnail just before the movie or show ends.

I fucking hate it. Yes, I’m one of those weirdos who sits through to the end when the copyright rolls past and gets pissed off when the lights come on at a theater during the credits.

It is incredibly disrespectful to the film.

This is one of those “good taste” things that I feel like Steve Jobs wouldn’t have tolerated.

It’s especially annoying on some older films with short end credits because it happens before the movie is even over.

It's like complaining about people who claim they live under a fascist regime because they have to wear masks in the supermarket. It's making a point about human decency.
