First, I speak Chinese, I understand what the IME thing is about. I agree that the "Incognito Keyboard" flag is a miscommunication, it should say "Politely tell my IME don't use my input to make smart suggestions", but IMO it is more of an OS issue instead of application issue. Android decided this should be called "IME Incognito Mode", but in reality it is not enforced and merely a hint to the IME. Maybe in addition to calling out Signal, we should also try to convince Google to change the name?

For "pop a dialog about this", I don't know, that's an interesting idea, but it is hard to draw the borderline if you pursue this route.

For example, do you know that Tencent QQ bundles a full-blown endpoint security solution trying to "protect their users" and warn them their computing environment is compromised? To the point it installs a kernel driver to do the detection. Most of my tech-savvy Chinese friends believe this is bad, not only because the possible privacy dilemma but simply because it is not an messaging app's duty to ensure the user have a safe computing environment. Surely Signal can pop up a dialog about the IME concern, but what's next? When somebody bring up an interesting cross app side-channel leak on Android, should Signal scan the installed package list, try to flag any "suspicious app"?
The distraction worked on me cause I didn’t even hear about it! What was the China news regarding Tesla?

I'm guessing you're not a Brit? A problem with that is the British people support them - about 72% for 21% against and I think they've been clearly in favour for at least the last century. So you can't really do it unless you get a dictatorship in to go against the people.
With online learning, basically all of my exams are like this. I’ve heard of some people having proctored online exams, but luckily my school’s Math and CS departments seem to have opted to just make the questions harder/unable to be looked up, and gave up on restricting us from using notes or the internet. It’s actually surprising how well it works, if the professor can design the exam cleverly enough. Really the only way you can cheat is by colluding with other students (which admittedly is a fairly big issue) or, for some types of programming questions, by just running the code on your own machine (which again can be avoided by clever test design).

CDPR Hacked, ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Source Code Held for Ransom
Again - from my understanding it wasn't just that she had mental health issues but that she was literally cutting checks (for significant sums) to people that everyone (including the state) considered a con artist.

Conservatorship laws clearly were not designed for people like her, though, which is why the whole situation she has been stuck in perpetuity is bogus.
Well, I think I’ve been waiting for a good sci-fi game that has a good storyline.

Cyberpunk kinda filled that void a bit. Battle tech is another that I enjoy, but the story was mediocre at best.

I think one of the other posters here put it plainly; the cyberpunk story was just ok, but the characters really stood out and I got emotionally invested in them.

Maybe that’s what I’m really after. Characters I actually care about.
> There's already a "under penalty of perjury" in the DMCA for rightsholders. Though it's arguable whether it has been ineffective; most settle out of court before it gets that far.

Most? To my knowledge in the history of the DMCA not a single person has been hit with a perjury claim, not even the most egregious vexatious claimant.
It might still be possible to change, by changing the macros that unwrap integers to support tagged integers, then waiting a decade or two before actually starting to use tagged integers. Things that hadn't been recompiled in a decade or two, but were for some reason running the latest interpreter would break. Presumably the number of breakages would be negligible.

Wow, thanks. How did you find that?

I think a fair solution would be "Should your content be taken down by the ContentID system/outside the DMCA, you should be able to protest and require a DMCA claim", i.e. "I stand by the righteousness of my denial and want to invoke the legal process to defend it".
No, the police are not breaching copyright by playing music, it's very obviously the person doing the filming and posting to public channels that is breaking copyright if anything is being broken.

Playing music to yourself is 100% legal.

Making videos of content of said music, and posting to YouTube, is not.

"I'll hold my breath while the individual police officers are pursued for these egregious copyright violations"

So given that it's the person filming that is breaking the law, and not the cop, I'll assume you'd point the same disdain for those individuals egregious breaking the law?

I heard elsewhere they are shedding real estate, so I assume the expectation is that all Flex and Remote employees will have hot desks or simply only be there for conference meetings.

Not sure if I like the hot desk model; using my own peripherals and monitor and having an adjusted space is generally more comfortable.

I could see a case where I am in the office for a longer chunk, if I have two in person meetings that are not contiguous, so would return to personal desk which would now be hot desk?
Having joined Team Technology, we would be disloyal if we are against any technology? Is that your view?

> if there's evidence of that being an attack vector seems like a good idea

Actually *most* Android malware use accessibility APIs to perform malicious action, random example from a quick Google search: https://medium.com/axdb/%EF%B8%8F-dissecting-defensor-a-stea... . That's simply because this is the most convenient way to perform malicious actions on Android without an exploit. Sure you have to convince the victim for permission, but with a nice lure people usually just fall for it.

It is much much more prevalent than malicious IMEs. Now help your "freedom in danger" friends by raising this up as a security vulnerability to Signal developers plz! /s

I assume you have already considered and observed the effect of alcohol and/or caffeine intake.

One thing that definitely helps me is to have a routine for bedtime. A hot shower, bed preheated in winter (heated underblanket), keeping the room cold and reading a book while lying in bed. I typically pick technical material as it's less likely to keep me up all night with an engrossing story. At some point, I notice that the mind is tired and I am able to gather words from the page but not comprehend the material. I then set the book aside, turn off the bedlamp and try to sleep. Usually, this is sufficient and I fall asleep in no time. Some people just fall asleep while reading. For me, it's reading. For a friend of mine, it's watching a TV show. He has something playing on the computer or TV and falls asleep while watching it.

The idea is to get the body relaxed (hot shower in my case) and then do something (devoid of stress) that keeps ones mind off the hustle and bustle of one's day.

Also, going to bed and rising at (roughly) the same time everyday will also get the body and the mind trained to be sleepy at that time and it'll get easier to fall asleep.

EDIT: I naturally tend to drift to a nocturnal routine if left to my own inclinations. The hardest part of what I wrote above is just pulling myself away from the day to go to bed at what most would consider a reasonable hour. If you can not convince yourself that sleep is important and commit to maintaining discipline in your sleep/wake routine, no "technique", "advice" or "substance" will be effective on the long run.

As an outsider, i wonder what makes people accept the Queen's position in a democracy. Someone said its because in England everybody is related by blood, so the sentiment of a blood line is what makes people accept the Royal Family. How true is this ?
Not paid enough taxes? Is that really what you think it was the problem? That the middle class was not paying its fair share of taxes?

How much more you think they should be paying in taxes for the absolutely shitty public services provided?

You are right, part of the issue to solve inflation was related with increased taxes. So now the average Brazilian pays taxes like they are in some Western European country, but still get the same shitty public services and we have removed the ability for the middle class to save.

> By analogy because planes crash due to bad piloting heavier than air flight is clearly completely impossible and we shouldn't attempt it.

No. The analogy is that we shouldn't board into any plane where the pilots have parachutes for themselves but not for the passengers.

The lack of aligned incentives between Government (and its elites) and the governed is the problem.

> Your experiences may be sad.

Actually, no. There is nothing sad about it. Looking back, my (relative) standard of living was never as high as it was then. Two-parent family income was "needed" to afford private schools and our own home, but I'd wager that even if we depended only on my not-college-educated mother salary we would be better off then as the standard single-income family of today. And that comparison applies to even living in Europe like I am today.

> What we need are better trained pilots.

Yes, the old "We havent't tried real socialism/communism/my-favorite-pet-theory-of-everything". Piss off, will ya?
I want to believe that the work started by Ivan Sutherland, Douglas Englebart, Alan Kay, etc still has a long way to go.

On the other hand,

1. It feels like they addressed most of the low-hanging fruit

2. A lot of what was done by these people was build user interfaces. Does that qualify as thinking tools? Sure, the tools give us the ability to e.g., build crazy-looking buildings, but is that all there is?

The idea of inventing Arabic numerals in a world that uses Roman numerals is very powerful and transformative. But the bicycle-for-the-mind metaphor which we like to talk about in relation to graphical user interfaces is more augmentative (I can go further) than transformative (I can instantly teleport to another dimension).

3. Is it also possible we don't recognise modern advances because they're more gradual and diffuse? There are no PARCs and Bell Labs anymore because there are many PARCs and Bell Labs. Recent examples: how computing is helping with drug discovery, protein folding—these should count for something.

Having said all that, I have one big hope (dream?) for computing in the political space that involves complete transparency for democracies and a lot more citizen involvement. I imagine something like that evolving over a long period of time, as people adapt and begin to think differently. In my head, computing provides the vision of how things could be, but doesn’t necessarily lead the way with implementation.
You can tell who Amazon values. It sees it’s sellers as easily replaceable. If you are no longer paying 6 digit listing fees, someone else will quickly take your place. With AWS, your business is harder to replace and more valuable.
Huh. This is really cool. In Nathaniel's bio he mentions connects to the variability of the Polar vortex but I can't seem to find a paper where he talks about this. Could you point me in the right direction? I study atmospheric transport, cyclones, and other phenomena at the surface in the Arctic and connections to the Polar vortex are always important to me.

While typescript typing is extremely powerful and expressive, I sometimes find that code written with it overuses some of the features in order to make types and interfaces align, rather than rethinking the design altogether. Especially with generics, things can get overly complex precisely because of the ability to extract return types, use partial types, omit fields, etc.

My biggest typescript gripe is the fact that interface and type are _nearly_ interchangable, and many codebases just use interface wholemeal where it isn't really appropriate.
> a competitor is obviously trying to take down our listings

This doesn't seem obvious at all. It could be any number of other malicious actors. Off the top of my head: an unsatisfied customer, a troll, a disgruntled former employee, etc...
Nowadays when I want to buy anything on Amazon it takes so much effort to go through which listing is the Sponsored/ad-based listing vs organic in search. Once that hurdle is crossed, it comes to going through the reviews to see which reviews can be trusted and which can not be. And even after that hurdle, once I place order, I am not sure the item I received is counterfeit or genuine. Too much work and definitely not customer-focused experience!

I guess going to Target is much easier to get the necessary shopping done.

The question really is whether the existence of the queen is what provides continued value for buckingham palace — without the monarchy, it becomes another relic of a bygone era, with no inherent quality to attract tourists beyond its history and aesthetic. Visiting a “live” structure is an altogether different thing — this is where the queen lives vs this is where a queen once lived (as opposed to all the other places kings and queens have lived)

Everyone is so distracted by how great this new benefit is that they don’t see the outsourcing effect around the corner.

Take Apple Pay for example:

The goal wouldn't simply be to have Ether stored in your Apple Wallet and transferring it to merchants with nfc

The goal would be using one of the blockchains to settle the states of all the transactions. As in, instead of your Apple Card using the Visa network, it uses a Optimistic Rollups on Ethereum, which would be able to handle similar transaction volume already. This means you can have representations of USD/fiat or even just stablecoins, or any other kind of contract settled with good enough proof for courts.
> First of all, how can a belt contain drugs?

I suppose there are some Amazon sellers who have specific items that (contrary to the public listing) actually contain drugs. In that case, people could order them as a way of buying drugs that would look like some other kind of retail business from the point of view of Amazon, shippers, and tax agencies. The seller could try to make the listed product extremely unappealing or uninteresting to the general public, or have some kind of code or out-of-band contact method that people could use to indicate that they wanted and expected specific orders to contain the drugs instead of the listed item.

https://xkcd.com/325/

Also, it looks like the "people lying in order to harm, steal from, or extort others" issue hasn't been solved for any side of a two-sided market or review system. :-(

Edit: I was first thinking of saying that this is a way that drug prohibition really empowers random people to hurt each other with false accusations. But this is probably true for any kind of high-stakes accusation. As long as there's any kind of contraband or dangerous item that Amazon cares quite a bit about banning from its site, and as long as there's a significant market in that item, people could make spurious accusations that any seller was secretly trading in it.

Profit motive is next level motivation. It affords a level of continuous effort where passion motives wear out over time.

Put another way: if a single unsatisfied customer is able to take down a product then there must be dozens or hundreds of profit motivated take downs. The article is not naming an exact competitor, but dismissing the accusation as "it could be an entirely different random person" does not change the issue's substance: Amazon is broken.
Just another example of how a virtual monopoly can get away with terrible, shameful and nonexistent customer support because they can. It's monopolistic behavior, but an passive form of it. Instead of actively engaging in monopolistic activity, they remove essential customer support because they have no competition. This really needs to be regulated quickly. Amazon, Google, Facebook all coomit the same behavior by hiding behind bots and algorithms with no customer support and there's nothing we can do because they are so dominant.

I get your comparison to Superbowl to highlight the popularity to people abroad. A sibling mentions the football world championship.

But other than popularity there's big differences. Both Superbowl and world cup are highly organized, highly commercial events, planned way in advance, where top athletes perform.

The Elfstedentocht always comes unexpectedly. When there is a cold snap in the weather, a fever starts brewing among the population. As ice grows thicker people from all walks of life start to get involved to organize the event. Pumping stations stop their operation to improve ice conditions, crossings are created on patches of bad ice where one walks with skates over land (called 'kluunen'), and all across the track people start to sell hot chocolate and soup. The event is a huge social happening, not just for the top athletes. The people that come last over the finish line or the ones that just did not make it within the set timeframes are as much heroes as the winner of the tour.

Elfstedentocht is very much an event by the people, not an entertainment provided for the people.
It sounds dumb, but I think a lot of the 'vague nuance' around considering people's availability schedules could be addressed simply by stating some reasonable guidelines and pinning it to a slack channel.

As a technical person, I roll my eyes at HR stuff, but this is at least something small and easy. At least, then it's somewhat harder to hide asshole-ish behavior behind feigned ignorance.

And if all else fails... better to explore what else is out there than stay in a bad situation if it's replaceable.
Thanks for the clarification though your example is unpythonic. Here's refactored to be more pythonic and I'd argue it's more readable than pattern match alternative:

pet = json_pet.get('type')
if pet == 'cat':
return Cat(json_pet['name'], json_pet['pattern'])
if pet == 'dog':
return Dog(json_pet['name'], json_pet['breed'])

Again it goes against the pep20 which is really the philosophical foundation of the language: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."
I also think using any quote as a thought terminating cliché is flawed. In that case I wouldn't blame the quote though, but the person using it. (I assume your boss probably had an interest in terminating thought. Perhaps the project was invested in the language and it was just not feasible to change? Perhaps he didn't have an answer to your valid criticism? Just speculation...)

In most cases I have encountered people uttering this quote they were using it as a mere observation of the statistical fact that a large group of users will inevitably lead to a larger amount of complaints. And the conclusion was usually something like:
"Don't blindly disregard a language, because many people hate it. Always take a closer look if the tool is up to the job."
Elixir uses the “pin operator”

“Use the pin operator ^ when you want to pattern match against a variable’s existing value rather than rebinding the variable.”

iex> not_found = 404
404
iex> ^not_found = 200
** (MatchError) no match of right hand side value: 200
