I think this is more about the limitations of our perceptions given we live such short focused lives.
Then remove them from your recommandations if you don't like them.

Twitch has no way to figure out the content of a stream, so the recommandations are mostly based on indirect data, like category and social overlapping between streamers and viewers. If you have the two top boobie-streamers in your recommendation, then usually there is a stronger connection between them and your prefered bubbles.

But on another point, you proove what I wrote. It's always the same 2-3 names which appear in those complains.
The size too: there are far more songs released now than in the 1960s. So it makes sense that the "creme" on the top is more homogenised.
There are a lot of armchair scientists touting their ill-informed theories, such as “she lives on the 3rd floor” and “she just passes a lot of gas”.

Building are complex structures with numerous pathways and extensive air flow channels that harmful chemicals could pass through or get blown.

Often, airflow equipment is in the basement or first floor, blowing air throughout a building.

The best way to handle this is to 1) stop the pseudo-scientific babble, and 2) perform scientific measurements of the air quality by qualified professionals. From the article, it looks like she is doing her best to quantify her health issues and to get scientific help. What’s wrong with that?
Manure and organic waste excrete hydrogen sulfide while they are being digested. The rotten egg smell you speak of is the hydrogen sulfide and it is toxic. And one of the major symptoms of H2S poisoning is migraines, coughing, shortness of breath.

So your neighbors were completely inline with feeling the way the do.

BTW, I went to school next to a mushroom farm. A big warehouse with giant mounds of manure. And yeah we felt all of that too during the warmest times of the school year. The school administrator and most parents tried to convince the students it was all in their head.
I wouldn't bet on it but I also wouldn't be completely shocked in Alphabet ends up pulling the plug. Can they create a product they can sell that provides full autonomy under a useful subset of conditions within the next decade? If their honest answer is no then I have to think people within Alphabet are going to start asking hard questions.
Resale/checkout automation software to use on big retailers for hot items that are always oos. Easy first million
I'm bothered by a lot of contemporary web development. Many things are implemented using far too much heavy JS code, and user experience suffers. I also think a lot of people drastically underestimate how much we get out of modern tools.

In a followup tweet[1] and in this thread, antirez says that we haven't improved interaction in 20 years.

Let's consider gmail, which is close enough to 20 years old. But at the time, it was an example of a very rare and complex app build on top of ajax. I don't personally quite remember this, but it apparently didn't have rich text editing for a year after it was released.

Ask yourself: how long would a competent front-end developer need to make a decent 2004 gmail clone using modern front-end tools?

The ideal would be to build more lightweight websites, but exploit modern tools where they pay for themselves. While we're at it, we can write fast software without premature optimization.

The “normal content” bit is possibly quite hard to detect. You could do some kind of distance calculation between “safe” responses and “unsafe responses”, but it seems like there would be a bunch of edge cases given the variety of sites you host.

Anyway, thanks for hearing my suggestion!
I am a Muslim and have at no point considered celebrating non-Muslim ancestors as being wrong or prohibited. None of Muslim friends think that either. I am aware that some Muslims might, but it is not by any means a religious fact.

I believe you're right. Looking at Makefiles for open source Newton projects, -mbig-endian is passed into GCC:

MACHINEFLAGS := -march=armv3 -mbig-endian
But in order to safely enable that check for all requests that go from CloudFlare to the origin IP, you would first need to verify ownership of the origin IP.

You wouldn't want users who don't own the origin IP to be able to turn on that sort of check and potentially cause a service disruption. It could be the case that the legitimate owner already has a Host header mismatch in their HTTP requests/responses.
Don't you have to pay tax if you use company property for personal use? I do not know American taxation system, but it would be reasonable to assume so.
I think what more they want is the dashboard, which isn't open-source or self-hostable. Sort of fair ask, but also pretty fair for Supabase not to provide that IMO.

They also want better self-hosting docs, though IMO it's fair for that to be primarily driven by community forums.
"Prop 13 disparately impacts minorities"

Well, that's sort of a stretch. I expect to the extent that's true, it's because the state was a lot whiter in 1978, although scarcely any people have owned a house for 42 years.

Makes for a good headline though.

Just imagine the papers you could write showing racial disparities for any metric involving age as I would think that older trends whiter in California.
Seems like an "L2 car" is what the market wants and can get, though. Elon may not say what you want him to say, but he's selling these things like hotcakes.

Broadly: that's seems like senseless pedantry to me. Tesla owners, even numerate serious ones who understand the problem area, know when their car is "driving itself" and when it isn't. Quoting industry jargon to explain to people how the product isn't akshooally doing what it clearly is isn't going to win many arguments.
It’s been the same problem since the web design should be pixel perfect days, instead of print design the web is now in love with app design.

The difference now is that there is less good practice. But look at gov.uk and you see the difference between good web design that doesn’t need to be an app or have carousels.

Web development now has the Sharepoint problem: it can do everything given enough effort. It’s not about what is possible but it’s about what you want from it.

Before it was flash intro movies now it’s a shop front with modals and carousels.
I love modern frontend development. I can build apps that scale easily to hundreds of thousands of users. They are fast where they need to be fast, and building components means complexity lives only where it's needed. Static parts are rendered statically, dynamic parts are rendered dynamically. I can write all code for the entire stack in Javascript. The entire workflow is streamlined in a simple way (webpack really isn't that hard to grok). There are templates for every project imaginable. I don't need an entire VPS for my web-apps, just a simple static hosting service. My apps run on every system and any browser back to IE9 without any issues whatsoever. No complex build tools or linking process or debugging weird architectures needed. Compatibility issues are solved automatically in any modern build pipeline by adding vendor prefixes. New code is transpiled to old code for older browsers. Debugging modern front-end code is a breeze, there are an infinite amount of tools both for styling and the code itself. My modern frontend app takes seconds to build; QT apps I built in the past needed up to twenty minutes, just to check a simple change. No need for that with hot reloading. My users are happy too: They don't have to download an app which might not work on their specific system. Linux, Windows and Mac users alike can use it on their computers, laptops, tablets and phones without any issue. They can use the default environment a browser provides for an even better user experience (zooming, Screenreaders, upscaling fonts, copying images and text, preferences for dark mode, theming their browsers, saving credentials and auto filling them, sharing stuff, etc.). Integrating stuff from other companies has never been easier: Paypal, Stripe, Apple Products all provide a well tested and documented library for every framework out there. There are open source packages for anything, it's a FOSS dream. Building prototypes for anything is insanely fast, thanks to modern debugging tools in Chrome and FireFox.

It's much better than people make it out to be.
There's a good discussion on this by Troy Hunt[1].

> But for spam based on using phone number alone, it's gold. Not just SMS, there are heaps of services that just require a phone number these days and now there's hundreds of millions of them conveniently categorised by country with nice mail merge fields like name and gender.[2]

> Another general observation on this incident: I'm seeing extensive sharing of the data, both the entire corpus of countries and individual country files. Not just in hacking circles, but very broadly on social media too. This data is everywhere already.[3]

> New breach: Facebook had 2.5M addresses exposed in an incident that impacted 533M subscribers' phone numbers. Most records contained name and gender, many also included DoB, location, relationship status and employer. 65% were already in @haveibeenpwned[4]

> If we look at the data, email is rare, DoB is rare so the greatest impact here is the phone numbers. Even though it’s “only” 20% of FB users, the number is obviously substantial thus so is the impact[5]

Did you read your link? You are talking about it's "dystopian name" but it's a placeholder, which every project has at some point. Sounds like fearmongering.

Yeah, I think I'd just look for HTTP status code.

Sources? And depending on your definition of "puppeted", it looks like pretty much everyone on the world stage is "puppeted" by China.
> "The stress of not getting thier way immediately leads them to these other health issues in my opinion. And it takes thier argument up a notch (prove they don't have a headache)."

so kinda like the fervent supporters (most news outlets included) of lockdowns, pervasive mask-wearing, and long-covid (as if post-infection complications are something new and unique)? or the opposite faction defiantly anti-mask and anti-vaccine?

people exaggerate and then fall into a hole of argumentative sunk cost, where they then view their own reputation being on the line, so they double-down rather than back down. in the moment, we don't realize that it's actually not that costly to concede to exaggeration, that a matter of degree almost never bolsters an argument.

the curious part is not that, but that we've yet to solve this collecctive dilemma (reason vs. dignity) that's seemingly been with us since the dawn of time. in a private conversation, it's possible to recognize the dilemma and redirect the conversation to a more productive line of reasoning by just asking questions and unraveling contradictions with the respondent. 'giving face' is somewhat related, but isn't necessarily concerned with veracity and reason, only dignity, especially for the (perceived) higher class person. i've always liked the 'wisdom of crowds' concept because it could be exactly this collective dignity-preserving redirection, but it defies power and expertise, so doesn't get enough merit and employment.

Presenting a warning about possible misconfiguration to the customer need not create a service disruption.
Karma?

"People just submitted it. I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb f*cks."
Yes they matter very much sometimes. A CEO like Elon with a very large depth of understanding of this problem space is going to be able to allocate resources much better than someone without any AI experience. There are many many many dead ends in this space and you need to be able to experiment and pivot quickly which is what Tesla is doing. Waymo is stuck in the mud.
From defining the entire approach when it launched, Gmail has somehow turned into the single best argument /against/ SPAs. I dread opening it, because I know it's going to be slow to load and slow to use.

I don't know how it went so wrong. Original Gmail was a revelation. Today it's sludge.
The article alleges that the error is non-random. There are some specific sorts of errors the humans on mechanical turk made, and the SOTA models get a significant portion of their advantage over earlier models based only on being better at guessing the incorrect labels. To a layperson, this sounds like a different issue to the one you refute. Is this not a big deal?
Sure. You can't run a business worrying about things that might happen one day. There's a never ending supply of them. Instead, you should focus on product and customer acquisition. It's as simple as that really.

Most people think that before they start a business, they need to have legal liability protection, trademarks, even patents. That's totally ridiculous. You need a product and customers before any of those. It doesn't have to be 100s of customers. 2 is enough.

Because if you never get those 2 customers, all those other ifs don't mean a thing. The likelihood of you building something that's both customer-less and valuable enough to need all that protection is probably close to zero. Businesses become valuable when they have customers and cash flows. That's when you need to start worrying about people storming your castle. Not before.
If ECMAScript, HTML, and the DOM didn't exist and you were asked to create a specification for applications where the client UI is remote, possibly very resource constrained with a connection to the back end that may be slow and only mostly reliable, what would you invent? Is there a better model already out there that isn't used because Javascript + HTML has sucked all of the oxygen out of the room?
I didn't realize it was even possible for the body to not accept nutrition via TPN.
So, do you want to be a manager or architect? I left my manager job years ago to go back to programming in a tiny team. Quite happy with my decision. The only reason I can think of changing my position is more money, but I’m fine for now.

Also, I believe the more you learn the more you feel like you don’t know enough. Maybe it’s the same with you.
Is anyone else thinking how useless/overcomplicated these big tech Covid projects have been?

My biggest issue is that (at least in Texas) the websites and sign up process for getting a vaccine has been a complete and total cluster. Listen to stories of octagenarians trying to sign up on 50 different websites, half of them erroring out or requiring a long sign up process only to find out that there are no more vaccination slots.

If there is one thing tech companies could have assisted with it was the vaccine registration and distribution process (how many queueing SaaS products exist anyway?), but I have seen them do nothing in that regard. Instead we got useless unnecessarily complicated projects like the cell phone contact tracing apps, and now this.

Like the slogan says, "If you're not part of the solution, there is money to be made in prolonging the problem."

That would be great.

https://sigrok.org/ can log data from basic CO2 monitors, maybe it could be extended to support the sensors you mentioned.
Thank you for doing this.Experienced folks leveraging their talent to get a deal like this makes it easier for the rest of us who may not have as much leverage. I would love to see a sane work week normalized.
But only 90% accurate, thats 10% not accurate enough.

As a European, you have no idea how bad the history of race is in America and how strongly it still affects people today.

Read about redlining and how it-- and related policies-- are the main cause for white families' wealth to have gone up over the last 50 years and black families' hasn't. Eg https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-cas...
I hope I am strong enough to go with dignity when the time comes.
Plenty of discussion has been had around incentives and I agree with all that, but also there's another angle here: aside from dark patterns, I think the problems of terrible front-end experiences are most prevalent in the middle of the bell curve - the front-end products developed by rather mediocre skill levels and budgets. Which is usually a pejorative, but thinking of it as literally in the middle, not great but not terrible, a wide range of skill levels where people are more or less competent at their jobs. These are where I start to notice the worst effects of the median trying to adopt the technologies and practices that high skilled developers at good companies with huge budgets are able to utilize effectively, or outright make themselves, especially when there is so much churn that being "up to date" with technology is like a pipe dream to most people. These median teams inherit all the complexity, but due to budget or time pressures, etc. aren't able to overcome it effectively to produce a product with high quality, and users feel the sluggish experience and bloat that comes as a result. This pertains to more than UI of course but eventually manifests to users that way.

Something feels wrong. The median should be able to inherit the benefits of technology produced at the high end without such inheriting massive costs.
I agree, it's strange to axe the type of person they'd need to rollout the tech, unless the tech itself just isn't going to be ready soon at all vs. giving him a different role? I wonder how long the project of "L4/L5 autonomous vehicles on today's roads" would have to meander on for before the Alphabet leadership decides to axe it or radically change to scope would/will be?

I'm Egyptian (though haven't lived there in over a decade) . Many of us loved this display. We are proud of our heritage and proud that the world can see and appreciate it the way we do.

That said, many of us also have qualms about the local politics and the authoritarian way the country is being run. It's possible to both appreciate this display and be critical of the politics. It's not easy because the figureheads of those politics were so heavily involved here. Good on them for at least doing this piece well.
I had hoped the end of Flash would have brought this nonsense to an end but it seems the bozos just moved on to continue doing damage.
I suspect you're right, and I already don't want this technology to exist, or its creation to be pursued.

A brain-computer interface will, IMO, most likely be used to control brains, not computers.
I see it the other way:

We’ve had a revolutionary S-curve with computing/artificial reasoning in inventing transistors — but we know we’re still at the bottom of two related S-curves, quantum computing (an exponential increase in many problems of interest) and IOT/smart systems where our automated reasoning is embodied in something. We know somewhere up those curves lies the ability to make new kinds of minds.

I think both of those will prove to be bigger than bio-science... and more over, bio-science will require them to a) do the experiments and b) find uses for the technologies.

I think human augmentation will turn out to be like spaceflight: humans are near the top of their S-curve already.

Instead, I think biology research won’t come into its own until AGI research does and we have an idea of how to make new biological systems.

Of course, that might kill us all. Horribly.
It gets worse than this.

At least in Illinois, the way property taxes work is, you add up the cost of all the functions of local government. You offset those costs with non-tax revenue, like permit fees. Whatever's left is the levy, and it's divided through the assessed value of all the property in the area to work out the tax rate.

Which means that as areas become economically troubled, their tax rates can go up; the same basic services need to be payed more and more from property taxes on residents because there's less and less permit revenue from investment. As property taxes increase, the value of homes drops; people have a fixed amount they can spend on housing. Fewer residents, less investment, vicious cycle.
Waymo actually has level 4 autonomy out there and revenue passengers, and is slowly inching out progress and confidence.

Anyone know if Haveibeenpwned will have this type of info? I'm super curious to search my name, warn people i know, etc - but i'm not sure i want to search for and/or download the data.

I may omit details in that paragraph, sorry! Autoincrement was used to prevent rowid reuse (and it is explicit primary key, where the properties you marked as primary in flatbuffers schema is just unique index), SQLite documentation claims that should be enough: https://sqlite.org/autoinc.html
> I can't imagine anyone using both and thinking Nix is more complicated that Docker. And it's not close.

Well for starter Nix has a wider syntax because it covers much more than Docker + docker-compose. Which it's perfectly fine because they are two different tools that intersects in few use cases.

Syntax to install a few packages:

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
wget vim nano zsh file
];

Including trailing semicolon. Dockerfile on alpine:

RUN apk add vim nano zsh file

I mean, maybe I'm too used to the latter but I really struggle to find the former simpler.
