Source for the 20%? Anecdotally I've never heard anyone being asked for one, other corrupt behaviour though for sure, things regarding land ownership, or zoning violations.
I think people would have far less problems with tech companies selling to anyone if they didn’t push moral crusades themselves. Apple is clearly interested in pushing its own ethical views, but only when they don’t risk serious profits for it. It’s a special kind of self-serving hypocrisy; paint yourself as noble when nothing is on the line, but keep mum when you might lose something.

If they stopped acting like moral crusaders and simply said, “We sell computers to anyone with money,” there would be much less of an issue.
Systemd continues to remind me of windows. It keeps fixing what wasn't broken, and you don't get to say 'no thank you' without a complete OS switch.

Yes you can argue it's the distros decision, but that ship has sailed and fairly soon there won't even be an effective choice.
Ok, I see, thanks; even found a wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Babylon_Bee. "The Babylon Bee is a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on religion, politics, current events, and well-known public figures." Might explain why the text is not funny.

FWIW, I always found the "cumbersome collection of shell scripts" extremely transparent and easily hackable... I find systems that involve lots of native code that isn't like, clearly right there for me to read as I set things up, extremely opaque and difficult to debug.
Another thing not considered is how much harder it becomes to maintain the return at higher bases, while diversifying so that there are no major drawdowns. And on the topic of drawdowns, I think this is the biggest flaw in compound interest mythology - a minor drawdown (permanent loss of some capital) in the early years causes disproportionately large effects on the end result. Best to run a Monte Carlo simulation using some assumptions for inflation, range of returns, etc. There are various websites that do this for you.
Modelling Rabbit Populations; an Introduction to Chaos Theory
Yeah, I really can't see how an SVE port couldn't handle NEON as well with only minor additional effort. If it's a wider than 128 bit port you'll be leaving capacity on the table but the NEON would still run just fine.
They took code from the official Tracing app without attribution or retaining the copyright notice, which even 2-clause BSD would frown upon. And the original code is APL2.0, not BSD, you can't just sublicense like that.
I would actually argue that this situation is a case of a unserved need/business idea: a site with stock photos of people where it is possible for a potential user/buyer to negotiate what a particular photo would be used for with the person who’s photo is taken.

In my mind, it is similar with how I ask for references: I ask people who I think would be a good reference for me if they are willing to do so, but I also ask permission again them each time I need a reference for a given company. If there is going to be a number of companies reaching out, then I combine/bucket a number of requests into one e.g. “Three companies need me to provide them with a reference, so could I please ask your permission for those three companies”.

Yes, there is more going on in the case of copyrighted photos, but facilitating communication is one of the reasons the Internet exists.
If you read my other comments, you'll see that this issue could undermine their whole claim.
Short term disability plans already cover the employee side. It’s a classic insurance case, as pools don’t have tons of events and the policies pay the excess on the of state family leave plans, PTO, etc.

My wife’s employer had short/long term policies that “wrapped” paid family leave up to 14 weeks iirc.
This sounds great. I usually Sriracha in my mac and cheese at the table, but I think I will try this. I am intrigued by the mustard powder. I bet it would go perfectly with some stir fried arugula/mustard greens and bacon.
To be honest, this kind of solution throws the baby out with the bathwater. What this solution effectively proposes - is to change the way fonts are designed. Font design is not just drawing letters, cap height to em size relationship is also an important decision. It doesn't have to 'align' with anything, space around letter is important.

Again, there is a strange illustration in the "The Problem" section where lowercase 'm' from one font is compared to lowercase 'm' from another one. Yes, they have different x-height. Why is this a problem? The difference in cap height to em size ratio in different fonts is intentional, it is not random.

In my like 15-year design career never ever I needed that fonts from different font faces would have the same cap height when the specified size is the same. Never ever I heard from my design colleagues that this is somehow bothering them. It is fine that different fonts have different "ink ratio", that's intended.

And one particularly striking part - about the default line height. In fonts that are good at being used for large amount of text - you can typeset a book with it or use for body copy of a website or print magazine, the default line height is that particular height that makes it the most comfortable to read. And it's perfectly fine that it is different in different fonts - it has to be. It is not random - it is intentional.

If there would be no specific default line height - then designers would have to tweak it each time for each font to make it readable or more realistically the quality of typography on Web and elsewhere will decrease because nobody would bother to do this properly.

Sometimes you need sensible defaults, sometimes you need to respect the work of type designer.

To discard hundreds of years of history and knowledge to satisfy marginal at best use cases feels barbaric to me, to be honest.
> ﷽, a single glyph occupying anywhere from one to who-knows (I've seen 9) cells, depending on font, font engine, and terminal emulator

That's a bug. Unicode standardises the width to one column, a compliant implementation must not exceed the width in columnar display. KDE Konsole compromises by obscuring/overlapping part of a glyph when it is too wide.
Fake-tweet.com –| Create fake tweets in less than 10 seconds
I created a small website that lets you create fake/meme tweets of any valid Twitter account.

You can choose toggle between Twitter's themes and customize device/post time/engagement metrics (or just stick with default choices).

#hashtags and @mentions are supported, photos not yet.

You can also directly go to fake-tweet.com/twitterhandle to save even more time!

Oh Brother, Would You Look at This Cistercian Clock
"We were beginning to think we’d seen it all when it comes to RGB clocks, but [andrei.erdei] found a fast path back into our hearts and minds. This clock is a digital representation of an ancient numeral system used by 13th century Cistercian monks before the Indo-Arabic system that we know and love today took over. It’s a compact system (at least for numbers 1-9,999) that produces numerals which sort of look like 16-segment displays gone crazy."
Selling 10% regardless of price is the logical and rational decision for any employee with a meaningful stake. If you have 6 or 7+ figure into the stock, slowly diversifying is the only sound thing to do, even if you still strongly believe in the company.

Your phone likely has an order of magnitude more computational power than the machines that were used to code and build some of the programs you mentioned.

The fact that iOS/Android prevents you from installing gcc does not mean it is unable to do so.

You could use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and output HDMI over the usb/lightning port and have a super portable dev machine if the OS was so inclined.
It's a very interesting story.

Not just a mere failure, but a total wipeout.

Extremely simple games have succeeded before, eg Flappy Bird, as the author mentioned, so what went wrong here?

Maybe gameplay wasn't satisfying enough, due to a few annoying glitches and obstacles mentioned in the article, and probably the marketing was too weak?
> For example, if you merge a binary file, it'd be quite easy for them to generate two different versions of the same file, with the same SHA1 digest, and then use the second version to cause problems in the future.

I think the last time I saw this come up the response was that git will just ignore your attempt to merge a new file if the checksum is the same. So you would have to compromise the repo server directly to replace it.
I'm guessing that they're just not interested in making infrastructure products anymore, only the client devices. Airport is discontinued, all backend/server devices are discontinued.

They do sell mesh wifi products from Eero, Linksys and Netgear on their shop, but I don't think there's going to be any Apple-branded network gear anytime soon.

I'm guessing you're from USA; when you say the best thing for everyone is a USA hegemony?
That’s not enteirly true. In London all my favourite places are only on Deliveroo, and not on Uber Eats (at least in my area). Maybe the have some kind of exclusive contracts?

I believe so too, it would also simply require too many good people in labs all around te world to not say anything about it. I find that highly unlikely.
Well the U.K. government is a democratically elected one for a start. On the Northern Ireland border, wasn’t it the EU that that unilaterally broke the protocol by invoking article 16 without even checking with Ireland? My point is that governments do things that anger other countries all the time. That doesn’t make them a bad government, that’s just politics. There is however a clear and significant difference between a democratically elected government and an authoritarian regime.

Also, network effects don't really compound outside of individual cities. Deliveroo being the best delivery service in Leeds doesn't make it more competitive in Manchester. A competitor can easily pop up, dominate a single city, and expand from there.
I don’t think GP has made any such claim.

I think really all they’ve said is that different countries has different cultures, and that in turn result in different types of government being acceptable.

I’m not going to get involved in the details here, because there are many countries and governments out there, and everyone has different views on which is “best”.
This is also what I do, working in the same business space (MRP for manufacturing) . I think it's a nice approach that let's you focus on the business problems at hand.
Could someone help me understand this? Will a user be assigned one floc ID, or multiple? Or is a floc ID a unique ID to a single user?

It seems like if each user only gets a single floc grouping, that this is more private than a system like FB, where any given user could be part of thousands of different targetable "interest groups." Am I missing something? On FB, for instance, I could be targeted for liking Infinite Jest. And separately for like Mountain Biking. And separately for living in Pennsylvania. It seems like Google is doing a lot to obscure the user information into a data black box. Maybe I don't get the idea.
it groups the branch into a chain of commits, and has dependancies between them, so you can approve a commit on top of the chain, but it will not merge until the ones it is based off merge.
There was a post on r/CryptoCurrency a few days back about Fidelity, they did some analysis and figured most profitable accounts belonged to people who were dead.

People under estimate the kind of discipline it takes to both DCA and HODL things on the very long run. And it goes without saying, starting early does matter.

>>The trick with "if you live frugally and invest you'll end up with tons of money" is that unless you take risks and are lucky, "end up" is likely to come around your retirement age, when you'll have little use for "tons of money" except paying for medical bills - so you'll pass it on to the next generation, to give them a shot at the life you wanted to have.

Never understood this logic. Nobody starts ex-nihilo. Giving whatever little edge you have to your kids doesn't seem like an evil thing to me at all. The thing is it takes very little to give your kids that head start.

Or your kids have to write things like these when they reach middle age too.

And if you live long, you will just have lots to complain about your younger self.
Well somebody else's favorite places are on Uber Eats and not on Deliveroo then ;)

very interesting! wondering is there any similar study on average people? did those european countries have birth & death register data that can be used to do such analysis?
No, it's like removing buggy code and not remotely related to real cancelling where a human is removed from some project or other position for political views.

This was overdue, but as always in these cases, no one can support Leah publicly. I'm sure there is massive silent support for this move [1]. The Linux kernel should follow, but it is in the hands of developers who are beholden to their corporate masters.

The FSF is the last bastion of true freedom, and I hope RMS will be president again.

[1] I would not be surprised if it had 70% approval if there were a truly and guaranteed anonymous poll of all open source developers.
> replacing a cumbersome collection of shell scripts that previously were used for init/service management.

systemd-as-init was fine. systemd replacing udevd, syslog†, mount, ntpd, DNS, dhcpd, and probably a bunch more stuff I've forgotten or don't know about, is something else. If I wanted a tightly-coupled opaque binary blob of a system I'd run Windows.

† Of course its log file is not ACID, so when it poops its pants and corrupts the file there's no way to recover it besides moving it out of the way. Though the log entries on why this happened are also corrupted so there's no root cause analysis.‡ They could have just used SQLite as the logging format and it would have probably been awesome with regards to tooling and doing queries (instead of grep-foo). But no.

‡ And journald also cannot send logs off-host in any useful format, so I end up having to run rsyslogd anyway to get things into my SIEM through something useful like RFC 3164 or 5424.

But yeah: unit files are (non-sarcastically) pretty good.
yes, that is a survivorship bias.

I would attribute more of the decrease in child mortality to clean water and better nutrition. Vaccines played a negligible roll (diseases were already well past their peak when vaccines came out).

Er... do you mean offering to work "off the record" without paying taxes for it ("Schwarzarbeit")? That't tax evasion, not corruption, but yeah, that's pretty common, even in Germany.
I've been looking at buying a house in Italy, but the problem is it's impossible to get a residence visa, as a self-employed middle-aged adult without Italian roots.

There is a small network effect with (business) travelers: wherever I go I can use the same app to get dinner to my hotel room or conference center.

But that is of course a minority of customers, especially amid a pandemic. (But then again, with restaurants closed, for the ones who travel ...)
While I agree, I think in most cases there is a “morally right thing to do”. If the laws in certain countries go against the right thing, then maybe it’s time to go against those laws. Of course that’s easy to say as an individual. For a company it essentially means giving up your market in that country.
maybe that will help microsoft teams to implement that functionality under linux.
Capitalism is perfectly compatible with Authoritarianism, Fascism, and worse.

We cannot rely on the agents of Mammon to rid the world of authoritarianism. That is a hopelessly naive approach. They’re just not that interested, and they’re a poor fit for the job.

Capitalist companies are good at making things, they’re good at making profits, but by design they are useless for meaningful social change and increasing freedom, because they themselves require the maintenance of a world of peasants and kings.

There are a few language features which require a specific type to be defined, but you can define those types yourself.

For example, to use record syntax, you need to define this attribute:

namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices { public class IsExternalInit : Attribute { } }

And supporting the new indexing syntax requires you to define System.Index and System.Range types, which are a bit more involved, but still pretty trivial:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.index?vie...
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.range?vie...

But pretty much all the other new C# language features I've tried have just worked straight out of the box with .NET 4.7.2.

> "Would you consider this way of explaining it as correct.."

Yes, that is correct. Ideally, for the most secure setup, you should use the authorization code grant flow - which would involve your backend gaining access to Okta / Auth0 rather than your frontend. But yes, many people use the default setup which involves their own frontend having access to the user's info on the IdP. The default setup may also involve using localstorage with Auth0 (which we do not recommend - as do many other bodies such as OWASP and NIST).

Glad you liked our articles!

> In terms of implementing user management:

We provide the ability the following user management functions:
- Loop through all users
- Ban / unban via session revocation
- Adding / modifying user roles to session and fetching them in a backend API (post session verification) and frontend

What we don't have:
- A UI to manually see / edit the info mentioned above
- Delete user functionality (we plan to add this)

So if you can do without the things we don't have, then it shouldn't take much time for you.

Yes. In the past year I have heard endless breathless "news reports" about how China supposedly manufactured Covid in a lab, to how they are committing genocide with Uighur muslims, to how they are not respecting the UK's continuing dominion over Hong Kong, to how they never innovate and only steal technology from the US, to how they are being aggressive in the east China sea, how they're threatening Taiwan, and on and on and on.

Of course I have been hearing the same thing at various times about Cubans, Venezuelans, Russians, Palestinians, Iraqis, Syrians, Iranians, Libyans - Blinken just denounced the arrests of those involved in the post-coup massacre in Bolivia. And on and on. This piece is an example of the drive for ever expanding imperial policy under an authoritarian government.

The point in contention was legitimacy, not competence. The Myanmar Army is unquestionably making things better for themselves, their families and their commercial interests. The CCP is very efficient at expunging non-Han regional cultures, suppressing dissent and the institutionalising the rape of minority women, among other things. In both cases they are only interested in pursuing selfish goals.

Chaotic Evil is selfish anarchy. The Tatmadaw doesn't want anarchy, they want highly regularised, conformant subservience to their rules. If anything they find democracy too chaotic for them to stomach.
Yes, but it just implies that you cannot rely on grepping the source code. You know the relevant "method_missing" implementation is somewhere, and you can make an educated guess as where to look for it.
