I use iOS and have App auto-updates disabled (not the system update). We are at a point where auto-updates are more risky than the security flaw itself - especially since iOS has a pretty good sandbox, especially since its impossible for one app to access the data of another. Additionally, the App usually connects to a pretty limited set of servers, and is not publicly reachable. So the attack vector is pretty small.

Another point is the often complete change in UI or app behavior and you only find out about when you want it the least. I once had the case where I came out of a bar in the middle of a cold night, tired, had some beers and just wanted to use my Bikesharing app to unlock a freefloating bike to get home - whilst the app decided that it had to introduce a completely new UI and forced me to take an unskippable "guided tour" through the new features right at the spot.
While I usually would say the same, as I understood pipewire they are trying to create a unifying abstraction layer with a stable API that handles the underlying cruft.

While I would have wished for a good clean solution from the start, the state of the current Linux Audio stack doesn't IMO really allow for such a solution without breaking every program ever.

If Linux Audio needs one thing it would be something that handles the weird relationships between ALSA/Pulseaudio/Jack in a clear and automatic fashion. Because as for now I have seen Linux Sysadmins with 30 years of experience tear their hair out because they couldn't wrap their head around Linux Audio.

Build a blackbox around it and try to rework it on the inside.
I emailed the admins, and they fixed it.

You don't know what you are talking about, your whole premise is that everything is simulated therefore all it does is searching, so I will refute that and not bother with the rest of the comment because it is not worth it and you are not talking in good faith, instead you assume and support your assumption.

> No, the bots playing complicated games like starcraft weren't ML but human coded behaviour that used ML based position evaluation to handle movement. Position evaluation is just image recognition, so I don't see those bots as doing anything novel ML wise, same with chess and GO.

From the alpha star article

> Although there have been significant successes in video games such as Atari, Mario, Quake III Arena Capture the Flag, and Dota 2, until now, AI techniques have struggled to cope with the complexity of StarCraft. The best results were made possible by hand-crafting major elements of the system, imposing significant restrictions on the game rules, giving systems superhuman capabilities, or by playing on simplified maps. Even with these modifications, no system has come anywhere close to rivalling the skill of professional players. In contrast, AlphaStar plays the full game of StarCraft II, using a deep neural network that is trained directly from raw game data by supervised learning and reinforcement learning.

> Why isn't this interesting for real world applications? Because games can be simulated perfectly, the real world can't. The bots relied on simulating the entire game from start to finish in every frame, that method can only ever work in a game where human coders can write down exactly what happens for every single scenario. Training was also dependant on being able to simulate the world perfectly.

Dota-Five is literally a reinforcement learning algorithm, PPO, on steroids, without simulating what will happen but just playing the game, same for AlphaStar and Atari/Agent57.
Many experts agreed with Hinkley at the beginning of this. They tended to be deplatformed or fired by politicians trying to sell a cure for the (extremely uncommon) cold.

Any introductory textbook on virology will explain that we can’t cure influenza, rhinovirus or coronavirus for exactly the reasons Hinkley outlined.

In related news, the press doesn’t do interviews with virologists. Instead, they talk to epidemiologists, sociologists and psychiatrists.

That’s strange, since those people aren’t experts on viruses, and they certainly aren’t experts on coronavirus. Where are the articles that consult coronavirus experts? It’s been a field of study for decades.
If you really think that AI can solve almost any one problem, I don't think that you're the skeptic this comment is talking to.
Conversational Implicature: An Overview [pdf]
Another key thing is: do _less_ stuff _better_. And by “less” here I mean concurrent projects, not necessarily less work.

I had 17 (yes, _seventeen_) calls last Friday (between 15m to an hour), mostly because I am involved in six (now seven) concurrent activities (some just starting, many ongoing) and they bunched up on the last possible day of the week.

This is a intolerable pace, obviously, so I’m taking some drastic measures, but I already had Cortana booking me 3-hour blocks of “focus time” every day to “sandwich” that cheese, so the next step is to start booking off entire days.

This problem is pretty much fixed in Firefox. The cloudflair doh server updates records very quickly. Also has the side effect of unblocking the pirate bay for me.
Better scanning in low light, better error correction in code recognition, ability to recognise codes from a further distance, faster capture of codes, more options of what to do with the resulting data, reduced power usage while scanning, better user interface choices (e.g. updating to support more devices or matching new platform UI), ability to interface with external barcode scanners, better privacy protections for the user, reduction in overall package size, etc etc etc.

There’s always more things you can do to a product to improve it for its users.
You'd be surprised. Male attractiveness is simply NOT TALKED ABOUT much, especially around older people. But my mother, who is quite reserved, once blurted out that in his early years father looked 'like a young god'. And yeah, I've seen a black&white photo. He looked pretty much like Clark Kent. Square jaw, glasses, swole from muscles... except he wore a linen shirt instead of a suit. He always enjoyed labor. I wouldn't get this description if I just asked about him.

Many women don't feel comfortable openly saying they find some men attractive. That doesn't mean they don't care about it a lot.
Sorry about that! Sometimes you need to refresh or wait a minute for it work.

Probably never. I mean, I am on iOS and as a developer I know how hard it is to get your code to run on iOS. Heck, security flaws that jailbreak an iOS device just via network/OTA is paid serious money for, there is no need to implement this.

I seriously ask the question what damage could a potential malicious app on iOS cause? There is no running in the background, so no exploiting while I don't use the app, no being part of a botnet when the app is closed. There is a FS sandbox that will not let you access another Apps data without being able to jailbreak etc. I think an auto-update is more risky on iOS than to live with an older version of the app that does its job (you never know what an update changes/breaks for you, and downgrading is not an option in the appstore).
Caching this lookup helps to reduce the __latency__ at the client end. A local, often in RAM, DNS cache should honor the TTLs (for validity expiration) if the entries aren't purged out by other activity.
I'm not sure I like it, but I developed a skill for "listening in with one ear". A bit like a pilot flying a plane very focused, but hearing ATC when their callsign is spoken. When my role is only "advisory" it kind of works, albeit it does slow down the meeting overall and can be seen as rude.

Video occasionally but once I knew what good posture felt like then I could feel when I was leaving it.

I always found good lifting form to be a will power thing more than a skill thing. Easy to maintain when the bar was empty, very hard to maintain on the last couple reps of my heaviest sets. Did form check videos occasionally to keep myself honest but really, I knew when I had bad form.
I think many women enjoy feeling small, petite next to a swole guy. Or just a big guy. I'm extremely tall and random girls and coworkers have commented how small they feel next to me, but always with a smile.
>and have actual engineers draw something that can actually be built. (Of course, the engineer should risk a lawsuit if something goes wrong).

The engineers put a note in the drawing that basically tells the contractor to overrule their drawing if it isn't up to building code. Somehow this lets them wash their hands of liability if the contractor builds to specifications that don't meet building code.
No. Its still irrelevant to the fact that the Oxford vaccine is probably ineffective to the South African strain. The post is more South African whining rather than the discussion at hand.
Cloudron also has a full email stack ready to go, however you are totally right about the residential IPs. They are basically all blacklisted by default, which is also why we had to add easy relay-provider support.

Hmm, didn't know that one. Will take a look. Thanks!
At the beginning you should be on a relatively light on the weight anyway and as you progress you should be building locking in that form naturally.

Sometimes you'll need to deload to correct form and you'll likely be starting to look at different programs soon enough.

For one reason or another I've had to deload, usually missing training for a prolonged period of time. I'm at my longest sustained training period in awhile now and about to attempt a new 5rm squat tonight, I'm a little intimidated:). It soon becomes more about the psychology imo.
Yes, but it doesn't matter. The foam really acts as a spacer to convert a single block of concrete into two blocks separated by a few millimeters.

As soon as the concrete is set into place, the foam has done its job and can degrade all it likes.
In Sweden most people get a prefilled paper form. You also get the sums from your employer and compare with the form. Then you either sign the paper and send it back or you send an SMS with the signature code on the form. The goal is to include more and more cases into this automatic taxform every year.
Wow, that does look super close to what I had in mind! Add the shadow-like line-of-sight visibility thing, and it's almost the exact same idea.
What is "ownership"? What are "rights"?

Is there something ‘real’ behind either one, and if so, what? What is the "proper logic" that gets me arrested should I hike on unimproved private lands in the US, but not in Finland?

> and is it worth protecting like ‘a saint cow’ with enormous efforts.

There are many arguments on many sides about this topic. See the arguments concerning Sci-Hub for just one nexus. Or the arguments to the US Library of Congress for what should be excluded from certain parts of copyright protection. Or the arguments for the right-to-repair. Or the discussions about copyright legislation.

One of the arguments for copyright-as-a-concept is that it encourages "creativity of individuals in society".

One of the arguments against copyright-as-it's-currently-implement is that it discourages that creativity.

I can't tell from what you've written if you are arguing the former or the latter of these two, or perhaps something else entirely.
I did not downvote that comment, but I think it's bad advice for two reasons:

1. It tries to address the sympthoms without solving the problem. Building a workflow around the distractions assumes that my time is less important than everybody else's.

2. Programming is hard. The comment suggests that the solution to the overhead caused by context switching is... adding more overhead. How about letting people work in peace instead?
> I heard bananas today are completely unlike bananas of the past.

That is because bananas of today is a completely different cultivar of banana. Up until the 1950s the primary type of banana was the Gros Michel. This is also why artificial banana flavor doesn’t taste like bananas we have today. The artificial flavor was originally created when the Gros Michel was what people thought of when they thought of a banana.

Click waterfall, and then click play when you have the audio on your computer playing outloud.

If you play the audio outloud, your mic should be able to pick up a barely recognizable version of the picture (try the heart first to calibrate the "row delay").

Not saying that I like it, but I see this as a consequence of moving higher up the ladder. In 15 min, a senior architect can take a decision that potentially saves a junior developer 1 day of work. So, while the architect can't really "do" anything, overall team performance increases.

Although I like minimizing interruption, I also accepted delegation as a way to make "myself" productive in the face of many interruptions.

When I said you're the guy that can see the bright side of dog shit I was startlingly accurate. You're that one guy people call "excessively positive."

Every time your brain sees something related to "science" it automatically dumps a gallon of dopamine into the happy center of your brain giving you euphoria equivalent to a line of heroin.

> these same variants tend to be more contagious regardless,

It may be the case for B 1.1.7 (but around 30%, not the 70% originally flaunted by the UK government and the media), but at this time there are no data on transmissibility of B 1.351 (the variant discussed here).
Fair things about DNS, you can make systemd not work without systemd-resolved, btw.

The typical internet South African tends to post extremely negative news about the country. Some of them haven't lived here in many years after immigrating to Australia or some place just as "racially homogenous".

We are a new country only truly existing since 1994. So we need to go through the growing pains. The same pains any other country has to go through. But certain members of internet South Africa believes that these pains are due to our leaders being black rather than we are just a new country.

Thr initial claim I am aware of came from a German newspaper, Bild (the Handelsblatt was quick with it as well, not sure which newspaper was first). That claim was "AZ only 8% efficient with patients over 60 (or 65, don't remember that with all the figures thrown around)". That claim was false, as the 8% related to the number of trial patients. That claim came from the German Ministry of Health, "informed circles".

Only after that AZ clarified what the 8% really mean. And yes, efficiency is not yet proven. Unproven efficiency is quite a different thing from a claimed 8% efficiency so.

I see a real pro Biontech and anti AZ campaign going on in the German media. One that is quite welcome, as it allows politicians to deflect blame. Brexit helps to mud the waters even further. Don't forget, we have elections in Germany this year.

As far as I know, the AZ contract is the only one with additional uncensored parts that was published. AZ is in the defensive now. For no real reasons. And over this discussion, in the EU and also in SA it seems, we totally miss the importance of a smooth vaccination campaign. And the lacking preparation thereof.
I do this slightly differently, trying to accomplish the same thing: Long, uninterrupted blocks of time for deep work.

I schedule all meetings on Mondays and Fridays if at all possible.

I alredady have recurring commitments monday and friday mornings and afternoons, so when people want a meeting, they get my Calendy link, which only allows for booking on Fridays and Mondays - or I invite them at a time that is back to back with another meeting, trying to sneak in an uninterrupted block of time if possible.

Sometimes I need to schedule a meeting on the other days, and it is not forbidden, but I work pretty hard to avoid it. :)
I absolutely love Camscanner, and I have been for over a year on the old version because I refuse to update to the new version which requires network permissions. I exactly suspected this is why it needs those permissions.

To what did you switch? Camscanner is otherwise an excellent app, especially for combining multiple images and straightening them out.

I hope not. The 'advancement' from text editing to something else would in all likelihood not be an advancement at all but a retardation instead. There is a reason that the invention of writing is the basis of civilization. The only way for leaving text editing to be left behind is if all these big companies forbid ordinary users to do any programming besides a very dumbed-down/graphical version of it. I am sure they would very much like this but it would be a form of tyranny.
Historically, clubs have found homes in places like old cookie factories or power stations. Sometimes these buildings have been empty or in limbo for a long time. So either they’re being occupied by squatters or potential tenants are able to rent them for a reasonable amount.

Fast forward a couple of years. Suddenly rents in those areas have risen 20% yoy. Gentrification is in full swing.

The owner of that factory is approached daily by real estate developers who want to build (often high end) condos in Kreuzberg and Neuköln. Club managers can‘t compete with that money.

Even legitimate app developers have no incentive to keep their apps sterile. Someone just has to approach you with your 10+ million users barcode scanner app and offer you +50,000$ in order to install some automated ad clicker for them.

Don’t be naive, the majority will accept the money and gladly.

I believe that particularly makeshift applications such as e.g. barcode scanners are susceptible to this kind of overtake. Apps that offer what should have been offered by the OS vendor in the first place. Why should the app developer refuse the money if what their app offers will be incorporated in a next OS update by anyways? Why defend your mini-adapter-app in an ocean of mini-adapter-apps, with yours becoming so large just because of a random seed and path dependency?

This can have a big impact for end users. Imagine an authenticator app ending service to all their users in such a scheme and how you will be cut out from all your accounts by this. How many authenticator apps do you have to use in parallel to mitigate this risk of a single point of failure?
