I love this. Finally a nice habit tracking app for iOS that doesn't cost $10 a month.
There are still some things that need to be improved but it's already very useable.

- There's a problem with your website's SSL certificate. You're using the *.github.com certificate with a custom domain.

- Is there any way you can add a setting so the user can change the placement of the "done" button? Left side —> Right

- A new redesigned icon, maybe :)?

- Sell this app ($1~3) or put a donation button somewhere.

Woman: I guess. Yeah.
Man's Lawyer: So we'll say a dinner, complete sexual

episode in the morning, right?
Woman: Just slow down.
Man: You know I personnally thought it'd be nice.
Woman: Let me see this.
My lawyer better see this one.

Cherry 2000 may be a silly mess of a movie, but its depiction of the lawyerification of dating might have been surprisingly prescient.
Yes, please do your own research and read on how the Nokia's board of Directors saw the memo as an act of misjudgement and how Chairman Jorma Ollila gave bitter feedback for it at a board meeting.

During Elop's tenure, Nokia's stock price dropped 62%, their mobile phone market share was halved, their smartphone market share fell from 33% to 3%, and the company suffered a cumulative €4.9 billion loss

Sex is the oldest form of political power, and provides the shortest path to irrational reactionary thought available to the modern propagandist or political operative intent on influencing culture over generations. Our current ("Western") ideals for how sexuality is to be portrayed by our social institutions doesn't allow for much escape from the negative effects that this power can have over the individual. Hopefully that will change. One way it can change, positively, is for people to learn abstinence culture and just refrain from the act, entirely.

If you never bother attempting to initiate sexual activity, you're pretty safe from those who would use the sex act to alter your life. And if you eschew participating in collective sex-culture, its pretty easy to keep this under control, at a personal level.
Raspberry Pi has basically forever shipped closed components, that's not some "new trend"...
> Apparently there's a config option to turn off telemetry.

The option should be to turn it on; automatically "opting users in" (a euphemism; really, it's assuming consent which does not exist) to spyware is at best unethical and in some jurisdictions actually illegal.

Co-opting a user's own hardware and connection to (silently!) spy on them is a total dickhead move whether your product is free software or proprietary.
> To protect yourself from the "yes .. yes .. okay, no" dilemma

Why protect yourself? Why is this a dilemma? If you stop when asked, it's not an assault.

If you're worried about this, you're worried about false rape accusations, not some dilemma about people changing their mind. "if you're not checking for continued consent every few milliseconds" is an imagined problem taken to extreme. People who actually change their mind during sex will tell you about it and not treat it as assault.

But in this case a Pi is literally worse than either of those things at doing the video playback use case for the same investment. It's not a case of the Pi being as good but doing other things, you compromise the use case.
The original VICE article said it was $16 and they can take as many accounts as they want. It seems worth it to me.
That presumes a modern strategic intent, though, which was often absent from ancient warfare. If the mission of the Spartans was to secure kleos -- the only immortality the the Greeks valued -- then they succeeded beyond their wildest imaginings. Almost 2500 years later we are still talking about them. J.E. Lendon presents a compelling argument that this was, in fact how ancient warriors thought in "Song of Wrath".

I've previously pondered how we would have approached our early steps if we were completely unknown, and the best option i can think of is a kind of sincere, influencer marketing approach.

i.e. if you dont have the voice in the industry that people will listen to, find people who do, and get them to see your product. Most industry leaders are constantly looking to up their game, so you should be able to catch their eye, and if your product is awesome, they will say so

The best thing about .NET over Java is the ability to define custom struct types.

In Java, every object is heap allocated - unless you are lucky enough for that to be optimized away. If you absolutely need the performance, you must resort to a weird kind of place-orientated programming, where you pass around mutable references to primitive types that get operated on by static functions. It kind of resembles C, but without the struct keyword!

I see. I don’t know how to rephrase it to be better, but I’ll have a go:

Horses represent the importance of muscle power in the economy, which was made vanishing small by mechanisation; AGI would do the same for intellectual labour.
The rest of the Spanish-speaking world is unaware, too. I am foreigner who learned Spanish of Spain, and when traveling in Latin America the locals have often made fun of me for using the vosotros form of verbs. "There are umpteen Spanish-speaking countries, and only one says vosotros," they'd say.

"Not true!" I would try to defend myself. "They use vosotros in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea, too!" (On my first visit to WS in the early millennium I met many older Saharawis who spoke excellent Spanish as if they had grown up in mainland Spain, though now that demographic must be elderly or already passed away.)
There is surely more to this "sale" than meets the eye, pardon the pun.

Unless someone has billions and wants to just p*ss away money for laughs, there is no legitimate explanation for buying something like this for such a price. It is not an investment in any reasonable sense of the word.

Buying an NFT (by itself) does not make you party to a legal contract or agreement, which is the only way to transfer ownership rights in IP. It just makes you the owner of the NFT.

This is why you see people making the comparison to sports trading cards. You're not buying the person, you're buying the piece of cardboard.

That's merely equivalent though. Ultimately TURN is just a common specification for a relay. You also run head first into latency issues where you can run one signaling server globally but need regional relays to keep latency down.

Could you expand a bit on why MediaChannels need TURN specifically? Is there some complication that prevents just dumb relaying of the packets ala what you're suggesting?
Because withdrawn-consent can be used offensively. False rape accusation do happen and have resulted in many, many ruined lives - of people who legitimately and honestly thought they had consent, where the court later did not agree.

Ignorance of this fact doesn't support your argument.

After 50+ years, it occrred to me that if we consider body, mind and soul as axes of a 3D space, we can explain an awful lot of otherwise baffling human behavior.

Treating these dimensions as orthogonal resolves much tension.

For example, modern politics is soulless, and has ceased to be an intellectual exchange. It simply boils down to treating other peoples' bodies like livestock.

Not flaming any countries, parties, or individuals here; merely being descriptive.
If you just consider the internal logic of the story, it looks like a fable:

The protagonists of the story, First Man and First Woman ('earthling' and 'life-giver') get tempted by a talking animal to eat magical fruit. This upsets God, who had planted the magical tree in his garden, where he likes to take a stroll. The story then goes on to handily explain why snakes have no legs, why childbirth is painful and why only humans wear clothing in one fell swoop.

One interpretation would be that this is coded language for cosmological and theological capital-T Truth (such as the serpent being the devil). My interpretation would be that a fable got put into an athology of other stories about man's interaction with God, and that anthology got elevated to Divine Revelation of Unquestionable Truth, leading people to read all kinds of things into it that were never intended.
That is diversity in experience, culture or opinions, not skin color. You are also assuming that the different perspective is a positive contribution, even if in many cases it just brings more tension because people have very strong different opinions on bikeshedding. The biggest problem is when forced diversity comes at the expense of skills due to lack of supply, which is a very real thing.

Imagine the coal mine next to you that has the target to hire a certain percent of black people, 50% females and 5% LGBT: it would close instantly because it cannot meet the target. But just imagine the value of the different perspective a black coal miner would bring, compared to the wonderful perspective of the female miners.

> I completely agree with this. It would actually be quite unusual if the same solution fit such different problem domains. Energy density by weight is an (almost) non issue in fixed installations, by volume only slightly more important. Lifetime cost and maintenance requirements as by far the largest issue.

Likewise. It currently seems to me that the same chemistries are being used for both simply because the cost reduction due to mass production for cars has made it the current cheapest option, but I don’t expect that to be true forever.
"Taiwan allows people to officially change their name up to three times."

An interesting rule. Of course you can't rely on newspaper journalists to report such things accurately, but it sounds like a bug. A better rule would be to let people change their name free of charge if at least three years (say) has passed since their last name change, and let them change their name whenever they like if they pay for it or have a really good reason, such as witness protection.
If you think the Victorians typically used condoms or only had sex in wedlock then you're quite mistaken.
Supposedly. We have no idea to what degree Plato's character of Socrates resembles the real one. It's a pretty common strategy even today to put one's own ideas into the mouths of famous dead people, as that makes them seem more profound.
Sure have. Never been raped, never been accused of it, and have a lot of happy, consensual sex all the time.

However, I will be teaching my teenage boys that "Yes is not always Yes, it can be changed", and that "No thanks, I'll abstain, even if you give me explicit consent" is always the safest approach.

What – you did not enjoy reading the 1200+ page manual?

But yes, I know what you mean. I use the cargo cult method for writing TikZ code myself. Look for examples of people doing something similar, then poke at the code until it does what I want. I am slowly developing some glimmer of understanding, though. I figure in another 100 years' time, I'll be a TikZ wizard at this rate.
If your topology is essentially client server, you don't need a TURN or even a STUN server for webrtc connectivity. The client can send dummy candidate IPs in the offer, but receives valid server IPs in the answer. The client starts initiating transport to the server and reaches it. Peer reflexive candidate processing by the server allows it to communicate back to the client even if transport is UDP.

It's definitely more complex than websockets, but removing STUN servers from the equation does simplify connection initiation a bit.
IMO, this article shows what is wrong with C++.

1. The problem statement is well-defined and C++ is the language that cares about these details (compared to, e.g., Java or even Rust).
2. The author correctly identifies a feature in the language that solves the same (or a very similar) problem in a different context with a very hard-to read mechanism invoking special rules.
3. The author proposes additional syntax (essentially necessary for backwards compatibility) that allows to apply the existing mechanism in a new context.
4. The author proposes a new (set of) rule(s) that gives meaning to the new syntax using the existing mechanism.

In sum we have:

* 1 piece of new syntax

* 1 new semantic rule

* offloaded a limited problem to a the ever more complex template instantiation machinery

* less code in implementations, more in headers

Note that the original use case was about how the this argument is passed to methods. But it became a very powerful language extension. (See section 4.2.2) This reduces usability. Imagine a developer calls a method with the wrong const qualifier, yielding an (unexpectedly) const-qualified return type. Currently, there will be a short and helpful error message. With this proposal, this error message will be buried in the template instantiation details.

The problem is that template instantiations have become so generic that you essentially program the compiler with them. But how to generate meaningful error messages remains a mystery. Presumably this will be left to the library authors then.
So if you buy two things from one vendor, where the first time you had a good experience, it’s now fake?

I don't disagree false accusations happen. I'm saying that it's shitty to bring them up when a legitimate change of mind is discussed. Yet people keep popping up whatabouting this one, like someone's just waiting to accuse them of something.
"Conservative" = cautiously moderate, i.e. in this instance, not engaging in sex with reckless abandon, but rather with caution and moderation.

If you think "Victorians" are what is meant when someone refers to a conservative society, then you might need to read a few more books. Its quite possible to be conservative on the subject of sexual activity, while also voting Democrat.
It might make more sense to take off in your near-light-speed ship, do a few laps of the galaxy, then return home for a thousand-years-in-the-future ship upgrade, then head on to another galaxy.

> Opposition politicians routinely seek refuge or meet in Spain without any trouble. If anything they decry the "hands off" stance of Spain, hardly the same as a "de facto colony" situation.

And care to hear what do they have to say? There's hardly any journalists willing to interview them. Mostly Xavier Montanyà that I know of. When asked "what could Spain do more for Guinea?" they invariably answer "to begin with, they should do less, offering less support to the current dictatorship". If you want a somewhat mainstream source that talks about this situation (which is rare), look here: https://elcultural.com/espana-en-guinea-ecuatorial-del-expol...

Basically, the support goes in the form of Spanish politicians of all parties receiving "prizes" from the Guinean dictatorship with the tacit implication of leaving them alone.
This is amazing. I can totally see using this to make presentations.
A ⊂ B doesn't imply B ⊂ A.
This de facto duopoly for electronic payments is very concerning, but there seems to be no incentive to break it up. Why do you think that is?
Ideally people should be able to create their own banks and issue their own cards provided they talk the same open source protocol. We have all technology available that could enable this, but there needs to be a political will to make this happen. This could me nationalisation of the infrastructure of both payment processors or forcing them to open it up for 3rd parties - for example a private small bank should have no worse fees than a big whale bank. As long as these corporations can gatekeep our money (and time), we are not free.
It is a pain, yes, after decades of 0-indexed languages! I switched to mostly-Julia from mostly-C in the last year, and the 1-indexing is the main irritating thing. I have to learn different ways of doing things, which I guess I haven't yet, so the parts in my programs dealing with 1-indexing seem cumbersome and fiddly, every time. 0-indexing just seems mathematically much simpler. And I like things making things as simple as possible. Maybe as I learn different habits, that impression will go away.

It's also about the only thing I really don't like about Julia – so I can understand someone saying 1-indexing is a deal-breaker.
I think the downside is that for earth, time is passing by at 'normal' speed. So as soon as you get up to speed you're leaving behind, possibly the entire human race.

Weird to think that too if aliens show up. Their entire civilisation is probably already gone (unless it's VERY stable over hundreds of thousands of years).
For the interested, LLVM-MCA says this

Iterations: 10000
Instructions: 100000
Total Cycles: 25011
Total uOps: 100000

Dispatch Width: 4
uOps Per Cycle: 4.00

Block RThroughput: 2.5

No resource or data dependency bottlenecks discovered.

, which to me seems like 2.5 cycles per iteration (on Zen3).
Tigerlake is a bit worse, at about 3 cycles per iteration, due to running more uOPs per iteration, by the looks of it.

Bitcoin "people" hail second layer scaling solutions like lightning which is basically paypal but decentralized. So why on earth would you not expect the people/companies who would participate in lightning to not just build their own scaling layer? What we are seeing is just that Visa and other competitors build a central scaling solution outside Bitcoin. Thus Bitcoin failed to decentralize anything if the vast majority of people using Bitcoin don't even interact with the block chain.

The fees are incredibly high, so high that any Venezuelan that is using Bitcoin is already rich and just wants to flee the country with their wealth.

It's not private, anyone who knows your address can track your balance, your transactions and can even send tainted Bitcoin to you, to ruin the untainted Bitcoin in your wallet.

>lack of backing have all been responded to, to a sufficiently satisfactory degree.

They haven't. The only thing I see is that people consider Bitcoin as the perfect Cryptocurrency as it is and nothing has to be changed to make it better, yet they expect the market cap to grow forever without doing anything for it, but still assume that the changes they refuse to implement will be the driving force of that value.
