The asterisk (as unsaved indicator) has been there on a lot of Linux programs for a while (the first I remember encountering was GIMP at least a decade ago).

It shows up on the titlebar but more importantly in the window pager/taskbar, which isn't a feature on Mac OS (though to be fair it also doesn't show up on Linux/Windows desktops that are configured to show icons only in the window pager).

I believe Spotify, unless they buy an exclusive or something, still consumes RSS feeds to make podcasts work, so most anything on Spotify is freely available.

My mom lives in Shanghai, and yes, that's how automated contact tracing works. You have to show that you're not in the "potentially exposed" category before potentially being a super spreader in a crowded place.

It makes me not worry about her safety from over here in Texas where, sadly, half the people walking out and about don't know how to wear a mask correctly.
My experience with IWYU has been mixed. In general it's a success. But it had trouble identifying that some headers were only conditionally needed (eg, debug build or macro conditional). Those cases are easy to work with if you own the code but can be annoying if it's in a third party lib.

That said, I do highly recommend its use.

Don't underestimate it longer term. I rarely,if ever, listen to podcasts and I don't use Spotify, however Spotify is already a household brand. It's like Netflix: every time I speak to someone about a movie,or a series,the first question is whether it's on Netflix and if the answer is No,they often get disappointed.
It'd be like Facebook giving themselves an award for information security and protection of personal data.

For Chromium the `--new-window` argument doesn't open in kiosk mode. In order to work no other instance must run.
You and I share some similar observations but come away with very different interpretations.

"The educated people are there because they want to be" the parents, sure, but their children are there because the parents chose for them.

"1. [children from big cities] haven't lived much. They haven't done many things." Are you seriously suggesting that there are more things to do in Boise than Manhattan?

"2. They don't seem very happy." That certainly described everyone I knew who wasn't a cultist in Salt Lake City.

In my experience, the ones who want to leave are the smart kids who find their surroundings culturally stifling and intellectually decrepit.

Why not base the the revenue on income taxes instead - charge the people making money instead of forcing people out of their home through taxes?

The main issues (in my opinion) with housing in the parts of CA that are always mentioned is just population density and desired living conditions. I don't see what the right fix is for that. If we're basically taking the policy that we'll raise taxes to make people want to live elsewhere, then why not take the policy to restrict the offices that draw them there in the first place? Spreading it out instead of concentrating it would provide relief.

In agreement, there is a paragraph at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skimming_(reading)#Skimming_an...

...that if read (uh, slowly, for that first paragraph or 2 in that section on skimming) has ideas that help me a lot: reading the beginning/end, decide whether to read more, based on life purpose and priorities, and whether I am trying to focus on a task or just relax and enjoy. Also depending on the kind of material and how it is written.

ps: lately I have been thinking I have so many "actionable" ideas and things piled up in my notes, that I try (sometimes?) to read or note only those things that are >=85% likely to change my thoughts or actions for the better in the next 3-4 months; very questionable whether I am good at that. YMMV.

This is exactly it. I looked at doing something like this, ok, I looked at doing this and decided early to forgo CSS because it's so very very complicated.

Truthfully, if my skillset had better matched the task I might have been lured into giving it a go. On another project I considered using CSS as a styling technology and got down to really understand it in detail. I then realized how good my 1,000 yard vision really is.

I can't speak to the forces which inevitably lead to decay but essentially, for some reason every technology tries to eat the world.

CSS is trying to eat the world and HTML5 is trying to eat the world and of course Javascript is famously trying to eat the world.

All these technologies (and here's the part where I see my post begin to fade to gray) are on their way to experiencing technology's version of societal collapse.

I use that analogy because it's so so apropo.

They are overwrought, overly complex systems yielding only marginally better results and being maintained at huge cost in terms of attention, brain power and collateral damage by everyone. The benefits accrue to a smaller and smaller number of people (FANG et. al) who do not have society's best interest at heart at all and are very far from the founding principals which inspired the original vision.

A simple scriptless HTML 1.0 browser minus the blink tag would deliver at least to me nearly 100% of the benefit I get from the web which can be characterized as "seeing what is happening, seeing what other people think, learning new stuff and downloading stuff".

I would love to start a (reactionary) movement away from the current web composed of a privacy-preserving HTML 1.0 browser capable of HTTPS and people dedicated to creating pages and resources for it. I don't know of any such "movement" .

If anyone is aware of anything like this do share.
Microsoft Bing Search on Android gets new look and new tricks in latest update
This doesn't make sense to me. First, we have this assertion:

> Since the rise of humans, wild land mammal biomass has declined by 85%. Our history with them has been a zero-sum game: we either hunted them or destroyed their habitats with the expansion of agricultural lands.

Then, in the opening paragraphs:

> Travel back 100,000 years and the planet was rich with a wide array of wild mammals. Mammoths roamed across North America; lions across Europe; 200-kilogram wombats in Australasia; and the ground sloth lounged around South America.

> They’re now gone. Since the rise of humans, several hundred of the world’s largest mammals have gone extinct.

What they don't seem to be taking into account is that 100kya, the Earth was on average 3C colder than today. It's accepted that animal body size is strongly correlated by temperature[0]. Therefore, this publication seems to be implicitly asserting that humans are responsible for the end of the last ice age.

That can't be right.

Empirical evidence for the idea that raising the minimum wage in the US will lead to unemployment is quite weak. Those arguments may kick in at some point, but it's pretty clear we're way under the price level that would do that.

You're using some common rhetoric to reframe this entirely as one of personal volition. Just be like Ms Wait and pull yourself up the ladder. This is a form of the just world delusion, and ignores all the complex ways poverty can be a trap, or how people working at this end of the labor market are basically one roll of the dice away from financial ruin due to illness, car accident, etc.
A big part of this is the switch from traditional programming (just write code) to cloud based programming (combine cloud resources together like "lego blocks"; code is just one block among many others).

This reduces the importance of writing code and shifts focus into new development tools like AWS CDK. More and more of development work is about defining Step Functions logic and setting up various cloud events that hook all the pieces together.

It's not trivial to replicate ALL the hundreds of cloud services at home. So we accept that development is done in batches and deployment takes a while. It could be better if course, but it's not only about Lambda any more. It's about CloudFormation in general.
Hi. Long time lurker here. Finally something in my expertise.

The story of why they changed inflation measures may interest y’all, because PCs were the impetus. In the early 1990s, PCs were pretty widespread, and economists realized 2 things:

1. PCs were still not in the CPI “basket of goods”
2. They all had PCs with Excel and stat packages on them! Their data processing capabilities had grown exponentially in the past decade

So 2 major changes:
1. Rebuild the CPI basket of goods more often to reflect changing consumption patterns
2. Create a new measurement as part of Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) that rebuilds the basket every month based on what people actually bought.

The big issues tackled by PCE price indexes:
1. Measures what people actually buy, not some fictional basket of goods.
2. As such, it accounts for substitution effects. Apples get expensive, so you buy bananas instead, even though you prefer apples. If everyone stopped buying apples last month, it would not get counted at all in PCE.
3. Changing consumption patterns like the PC example.

CPI is good for tracking the price of one thing over time
PCE is good for tracking overall inflation, and within subcategories.

I now return you to your discussions of things I mostly don’t understand.
While this is a really cool project, personally I think we should just let any Spotify-exclusive podcast die instead of feeding the beast. I absolutely hate that my Spotify Premium music subscription dollars are being funneled into exclusive podcasts and attempts to force podcasts down my throat via recommendations all over the app.

Last week there was an article about how a tool that monitor WhatsApp contacts' online status can be used to stalk. Because I was bored I did a DDG search, and the top result was a Github repo of a Chrome extension that promised such monitoring. The readme was in broken English and hat lots of emojis, it had 500+ commits so I thought "Must be an active developer". Looking through the commits, the majority of them were "Changed readme" with single line changes to the readme file...

Unfortunately modules do not have a significant impact on compile times and in some cases can increase compiles times due to inhibiting parallelism.
“Different” is superfluous.
The only inflation that matters to me is relative to the things I spend money on and the % of my budget that goes to that line item. There is also the consideration that when the price of a given thing raises too much for the value I get from it, I will stop buying it.

That basically means that any generic inflation tracking measurement is minimally useful to me. What is useful is tracking the prices of my critical and large line items over time.

I don't buy the economic arguments made in TFA about lost jobs, taxes, revenue, etc. The money saved by people not having to spend it on automobiles, insurance, and maintenance, would be spent elsewhere. Also, it's not as though parking lots/garages would sit fallow with nothing to fill in the voids.

> the technology is beginning to look like handwriting recognition or voice recognition. These technologies get to 95-99 percent accuracy but never turn the corner to perfection.

What I’d like to see is a way for loyal users to fund Mozilla Corporation (MoCo) [1], reduce the reliance of MoCo just a teeny bit on Google’s search partnership, and MoCo use some money to buy ads on Google to download Firefox. Google used the last method on all its online properties to sell Chrome to users, among other methods.

[1]: Donations on mozilla.org go to Mozilla Foundation, and that money is not spent on Firefox as such. Limited partnerships with Mullvad for VPN aren’t enough and aren’t even available around the world. This needs a larger effort. Firefox development gets money mainly from the search partnership with Google.

How so? It will switch the problem from include what you use to import what you use.

Other languages with modules have a similar issue. Go is the only language I know of that makes it a hard compiler error to import an unused module.

I love my local small book stores, but I rarely explore the bookshelves on my own. I go straight to the owner and tell them what book i recently read and what aspects about I liked, which not and ask them what they recommend me reading next. And over time they have a better and better understanding about my tastes. This has worked better for me than any algorithm or crowd sourced recommendations, because neither of them understands why I enjoyed something.

This only works in the small shops where the people there live for books, not in the big chain stores where they just work.
I’m pretty sure there is economic research showing that movement actually decreases inequality.
If they told you it's the original version, then that'd be a lie.

The fact that they weathered that so unscathed gives me begrudging belief that their IPO will go well, at least short-term.

No, but they could lose subscribers due to Podcasts.

See, I pay for Spotify because of their playlists. Playlists have nothing to do with podcasts. I listen to my podcasts using a different app. Yet Spotify keeps throwing its podcasts in my face. Spotify is not good at podcasts. That's why I use a different app for that. I'm getting tired of scrolling past all the podcast spam in my Spotify UI, and yet Spotify provides NO option in Settings to turn OFF their podcast advertisements/recommendations. That is annoying to me, a paying customer. So they're pushing this, and annoying me, at their own peril.
They don't really need to. In fact, some early industry rumors say that are not close to recouping costs. They're instead doing the classic SV play of selling customers a dollar for 50 cents until they are addicted and then pulling the rug. They want to cripple the open market by firehosing cash until everyone else gives up, then they can do what they want.

Apple and Google are playing this game too in their own ways. Google is going to try to make podcasting more like youtube in the next few years.
I also resent being tracked especially when I am a paying customer.

Favoriting episodes, bookmarks, auto-queues, prioritizing podcasts, downloading episodes for archival purposes, playback history, list of all episodes in progress, stripping empty audio, crazy amount of configurability, and an interface that isn't terrible. I'm sure there are a bunch of other features I'm forgetting.

I've tried Spotify. It's not a podcast player. It's an audio player with none of the conveniences of a modern podcast player. If all you want to do is listen to podcasts, I'm sure it's fine, but it's not in any way sufficient for my needs. At this point, Podcast Addict is the only app out there that I can stand to use.

Basically what happens is it helps you rewire your brain when doing certain activities in a way that you are not used to and now parts of the brain that are underutilized become active.

Well if it were designed as an earnest feature, it would go on the side right? I can't imagine any UX pro saying 'let's plop this right in the middle of their requested content'. So I see it as pretty cynical. Any time software says 'I know what the user wants more than they do' I tend to think that's a mistake. But I think the consequences of this sort of thing plays out over a long period of a time. Maybe past when some executive leaves for a new job.
Tarot Reading from Fortune Alexander
The replies here seem to be ignoring the point I was making, so I guess I was unclear. I'm going to try once more, hopefully this helps:

The effects of the virus at play are irrelevant... long term, short term, sniffles, death. None of that matters to the topic of moral obligation. Only contagion matters, so let's take two opposing mechanistic scenarios:

1 - Reduced infectiousness (what we expect)

Person A getting the vaccine reduces the chance they will spread it to Person B if exposed and/or infected.

2 - Reduced symptoms (counterintuitive)

Person A getting the vaccine still gets infected and can infect Person B, but no longer has symptoms such as fever. In this situation, Person A actually becomes problematic to the un-vaccinated Person B, since it's not obvious to either individual that Person A is infectious.

In the first scenario, your vaccination potentially helps others. In the second, your vaccination potentially hurts others. The mechanism of action can change altruism into unintended harm. This is why the mechanism of vaccination is so important from social perspective.
