You can't have it both ways...

Google doesn't protect scammers and actively goes after them. But if they flag _you_ incorrectly then your entire legitimate business may be defunct if you have your domains there as well.

If you use a service that has the moral high ground, that is all fine and good. But there is chance the service may decide you are immoral.

The only way to protect yourself is to use a service that also protects people you don't like.
Because people won't pay, especially not on Google Play. Even if people do buy it and it's mildly successful, a company from a country where work costs less will clone it and offer it for free with ads - and no price can compete with free.

Most particles by total mass, but not by total health risk. Your phone LED test only detects large particles that your lungs can remove (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucociliary_clearance ). PM2.5 particles are more dangerous because they can make it past the lungs' self-cleaning system, and the very smallest ones can penetrate the lungs and end up in the bloodstream. You need a laser sensor to measure small particles.
Is it possible that pine apples found their way via the asian continent to ancient Europe? e.g. via the silk road?

Half-Croat here. Unfortunately the only thing war and widespread poverty creates is a massive brain drain, as the most capable people flee for greener grass and, especially if the causal crisis goes on for longer than two or three years or widespread destruction takes place, emigrate permanently.

What is left over is indeed a resilient population, but that's nowhere near enough to (re)build a country.
There should be more of that, both shabbat and sabbath. I say this as a nonbeliever.

Yes fanboys, Apple cares so much about privacy that they sent your app launches unencrypted and with the IP address to their servers, they are only "fixing" it because of bad PR.

If you use your brain you can conclude that Apple does not care about privacy enough to hire competent developers, this feature design was clearly insecure and against privacy that my any person with a bit of brain and not emotional invested can see it clear, "privacy is only PR, when it comes to actual implementation is irrelevant" ... though I think you could convince me that there is a chance that we could explain this just with pure stupidity, somehow Apple has such a broken process that stupidity triumphs over sane architecture, then yeah I hope you love the fact you use a product from someone that loves privacy but is to stuipid to offer it to you.
I am always surprised by how a significant part of the population are purist or religious mindset about everything, specially tools. They take a rigid hard stand,idealized to Totem status and don't move from that as they consider anything else "Tabu".

When I read "debug by print VS debuggers", I wonder: why versus? Why you can't use print AND logs AND debuggers AND REPLs AND asserts AND tests AND analyzers or whatever other tool whenever you need it, depending on the problem you face?

We use all those tools and way more, and it is probably the flexibility and ability to use all of those what gives us an advantage.

It is probably the effort to learn something new until it makes sense, most people just don't do the effort. I remembered the first time I saw asserts everywhere in one of the best programmers' I have worked with code. It looked ridiculous from my old mindset but I said to myself: This guy is really good so odds are it is me the one who does not get it.

So I started just doing the same the guy did, removing rational judgment for a while, so I did not let my brain to trick me into not doing the work finding this or that reason.

After a while, it made all the sense, my code become much better, I had almost no bugs compared to my early life, and bugs were catched instantly near the place they were and did not produce secondary bugs that were the ones that I catched before, taking me a long time to decipher.

Remember that reason alone is very poor for understanding the world. The world is a complex place and reasons are multiple and nuanced. You learn much better if you just copy what the best people do in the field and experience it yourself like kids do with their parents, then you will understand.

You will not understand by arguments alone. Your arguments could be brilliant, but you are always modeling the world, and if your model is wrong or lack essential constituents, it is garbage in, garbage out.
That's not the problem that needs to be solved, though.

The web isn't slow because it takes a second longer to load a website. The web is slow because, once loaded, the website takes 100+ ms to react to a click or a keypress. Plenty of popular websites are so far off the mark that they take half a second or more to react!
IMHO, it is not true with GitHub. Once I had to access a couple of my clients' GitHub account and all of them got banned. It was a stressful process to remove the flag.
I'd love to buy an iPhone that is waterproof, has decent battery life, durable screen (that part apparently has gotten better recently, though), can run Firefox (the actual one with proper ad-blocking options) and is generally made to withstand punishment from being used in the field.

Until such a beast is released, I'll stick with my (admittedly) crappy and de-googlified Android phone; I simply can't afford to buy a new iPhone 3-4 times a year because they keep breaking.
why is this so much harder than making large web apps?
Nice. I've been finding myself using the F12 tools more and more recently to tweak websites I use often - say to change the background colour or font. Not a web dev, but it's fun to look under the hood and play about with things.

An introduction to working with Codable in Swift
Gas is popular for the instant and fine grained control over temperature. You get much of the same advantages by using induction. I've had a cheap electrical furnace for ages and it is a bit limiting but you get used to it. Asian wok cooking uses gas burners to get the wok up to high temperature. High temperatures are important for that type of cooking. Another trick they use is to use thin metal for the wok so it conducts heat quickly. That's much harder to do with an electrical furnace but not impossible. If you use cast iron pans, they hold the heat much better and longer. It takes ages for them to heat up though. For flavor, cook over wood or charcoal. That's why outdoor grills are popular and why the gas variety of that is a bit frowned upon by grilling enthusiasts. Cooking on an open fire also is quite nice. But of course living next to a place where that is done is not great for your lungs.
I did that too and my brakes rusted from lack of use. Ended up having to get towed for an expensive repair..

> Slack is slow because it's slow to load actual conversation data; the iOS app is just as slow as the Electron app. This is not UI jank; it's a slow API and/or insufficient prefetching.

That's UI jank on top of network issues. Another commenter mentioned Ripcord, which is a good baseline for how fast Slack or Discord should be.

At least for myself, when I say web is slow as a category - including wider web technologies like Electron - I'm mostly thinking about UI performance. Any time a website takes more than 50-100ms to react to an input event, it's noticeably jarring. If it's consistent, it makes the experience of using that site painful. And unfortunately, this problem is common across the board in everything done with modern web tools and principles.
I dread doing business with these mega-companies. Its like dealing with a fickle god of chaos. Completely dystopian even if you follow the rules. Even worse if one of the daemons decides you broke a commandment and pits you into purgatory or hell with no hope of a meaningful appeal.

Is there something specific about cows that produces more methane than other animals?

Assuming we stopped cow farming completely and the fields were turned into wild live reserves of bison or something would emissions magically go down? Or do they no longer count as anthropogenic so we can magically ignore them?
Everyone is bashing Google, and rightfully so. I avoid using their services.

However, I've also experienced the other side. I've run an online gaming business and we had to ban players that created multiple accounts to cheat. I remember an infamous player whom we kicked out after he created a bunch of accounts and used them to brazenly cheat.

He created yet another account and posted on our forums complaining about his locked main account. It contained a statement, written in all caps "ICH BIN MIR KEINER MANIPULATION BEWUSST" ("I'm not aware of any manipulation") that turned into a meme in our company because it was so brazen.

Google has no interest in locking out its users and customers. I'm sure there are many accounts that got locked erroneously and it's appaling that it's almost impossible to reach a human to appeal the decision. But i'm convinced that there are far more accounts that were rightfully locked.
Yep! But really if you want to stick it to them just look at their contact or privacy policy and you should get a real email.
I've contacted them a few times over the years to set/change the glue records for my vanity NS and they were always very responsive. It also cost like a dollar each support instance, but I still haven't spent double-digits contacting support in over a decade of membership :)
I'm not against using a debugger, however one benefit print debugging is that you can print out intermediate states in a loop and look over all of them at once. Using a debugger would require stepping until you find the wrong iteration.
> Everyone, including Microsofts shareholders have reason to be thankful to us today.

The open source community turning pitchforks on Microsoft of the 1990's and the subsequent anti-trust case was one of the worst things that ever happened to computing. Here are the results:

1) Instead of Microsoft's preferred model of personal computer first computing, we ended up with cloud first computing with all the resultant loss of privacy and control

2) Changed the tech sector from where the biggest companies sold software or hardware to end users to one where the biggest companies give away software/services to users so they can monetize them with advertising

3) Convinced all the tech companies that they desperately needed to spend money lobbying Washington in order to preserve their business.

I would argue that the average computer (which was likely a PC) user of the 1990's had a lot more privacy and control over their computing than the average computer(which is likely a phone) does now.

I keep reading about all of these people who got their Google accounts nuked, both business and personal, and keep wondering how there hasn't been a class-action lawsuit yet.

Their marketing says "your data in the cloud, safe", but then uploading a single copyrighted movie to GDrive (even if you don't share it) can result in not only losing access to all your other unrelated files, but also emails, app purchases, etc. And if you're really unlucky and administer a company's GApps, the entire company might get dragged down alongs with your personal account, despite there being no other connection than "administered by the same person".

This is so unreasonable that even if it's in their ToS, that wouldn't be enough in court, and surely there's some law that's breaking somewhere...
It's a real problem. Your brakes can get totally stuck (been there), also you can fail the car's inspection with rusty brakes.
I wish journalists would stop writing articles about what random outraged people on Twitter are projecting today.

Do people do 3D rendering on macs ? (there are no GPUs available with hardware raytracing support...)

Most people I know doing 3D rendering nowadays just connect their UI to a remote rendering farm. So a Macbook Air would be more than enough for that.

For video processing you don't need 3D rendering capabilities, just hardware acceleration for the video formats you are using.
After 10 years working as a mobile developer predominantly on Android and having had a had in publishing roughly 17x fully fledged commercial applications (under the employ of others) I have yet to take the plunge and try to create a viable business through one personally.

I use the MS store for MS software. But avoid Steam if I can as well as they also take a substantial cut (Although this does mean I still get a lot through steam).

Although they're more flexible, if a game sells you a CD-key outside the store (eg on Humble, through promotions, etc) they don't take a cut. Steam only gets it when it's through the Steam store.

Tangent: I used to subscribe to the mag for years.

I was getting steadily more frustrated with the shift towards US domestic content and away from nature and the world, but I there was still good stuff in there and I was a big fan of sponsoring the research and exploration.

Then they sold to Murdoch, and so my subscription was no longer fuelling the research and exploration stuff, so I stopped in disgust.

Still miss what I remember of the 'good old days'.
Its just about same anything. Simple guilt-by-association is a real thing for google at least. You have an employee who's deemed by google as a bad app developer? That can impact the business that employs them even if its an unrelated app.
Now, that is an interesting find.

> - Your Amazon shopping account and your AWS account should definitely not be the same account.

My Amazon account has been locked for a few days now because I tried to buy a friend a gift card, and I can't even access my AWS account at all. Thankfully all I have on there currently is some old backups in S3, but I previously used AWS for some projects and this could've been a fucking disaster.

I tried to buy an Amazon gift card the other day for a friend's birthday, and a few minutes afterwards, the transaction was reverted and my account "was locked for unusual activity". I got an email saying they thought an unauthorized party accessed my account, and it included instructions to reset my password. I did so and then tried to buy the gift card again. A few minutes later, my account was locked again, and this time it told me to wait two hours and then call customer support. I did so, explained everything, got my account unlocked, and the customer service rep assured me the gift card purchase would work this time and volunteered to stay on the line for a few minutes while I reordered the gift card to make sure it worked correctly. It seemed to go through, and then an hour later it got reverted and my account got locked a third time. I waited two hours, called customer service again, and they told me that they'll mark the purchase as legitimate and that I should try logging in again after 24 hours. It's been a few days and my account is still locked. I need to call again. Seriously what the fuck.
Depends on how much your drive. Drive only now and then and brake only the bare minimum, you can get really rusty brakes. I ended up having to get towed with brakes being seized due to rust and lack of use.
I presume you haven't read my other comment about the search query. Search for 'COVID app mandatory for' and depending upon your location the results will be either only about your country or the *countries/states which you're asking for.

I assumed the statements I made about COVID app mandatory for services in many countries was a common knowledge. I failed to account that not many keep tabs on stuff happening outside their own country and that many believe the democratic freedoms they enjoy is universal.

Does the author refer to the whole AI community, when using the word "we"?
There's a reason that I rarely carry my tracking device out with me when I leave my house. Only when I head to another city. I don't see the need to, as it doesn't actually provide a lot of benefit, and it's fine to be without it for a few hours at a time. Sure, if I need mapping software it does - but the reality is that I want to have conversation with people at the times I want, not all the time. I also generally try and live notif free nowadays (clearly this ebbs and flows).

This works surprisingly effectively even with a family, purely by running a voip client on my desktop, and ensuring my mobile forwards to my voip line, meaning I can still receive calls as necessary from schools, daycares, etc.

It's an experiment I intend to only push further and further. Clearly also pull back, but a fun one.

This is already a thing and has been for years.

Many thin client setups like teradici PCoiP are used by tons of film studios in post production. The last few animation Oscar winners have all been done without computers at people's desks.

Not really surprising considering how Apple is so focussed on doing proper UX and privacy. Too bad only Apple users can use it.
One problem seems to be that no proponent of the technology actually acknowledges that there _are_ ways in which it can be used to track people.

Personally, I use an iPhone, and (for the sake of argument) trust Apple's software. However, I absolutely don't trust Google's software, including their implementation of this technology. My understanding is that all the Android phones around me will store all the nonces which my phone sends out. I then publish a list of all my nonces if I find out I get sick. If Google wants to invade my privacy, Android phones can upload all the nonces alongside the location where the nonce was seen.

If Google wants to track people, Google can use their wide network of Android devices to get an accurate location history of every non-Android user who gets sick.

Or at least that's my understanding of the technology. It might be incorrect. Maybe there's some way to somehow ensure that the nonces I publish aren't associated with me. But again, I haven't seen anyone who encourages the use of the technology take this seriously, and none of the "explanations" of how the tech works go in-depth enough.

I do use the exposure notifications feature on my phone, but it does worry me.
I have seen thousands of pine cones in my life, living in France, and none of them have hairs on top, not such a different coloration between the body and the head.

It doesn't mean it's a pineable though, Occam razor would lead me to thing it's more likely a fruit most people are not accustom to see.

E.G: figue de barbarie: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figue_de_Barbarie (and if you wonder, it's very good)

Not that I think it's a figue de barbarie, the body matches, but not the head, yet there are a lot of fruits people don't know about, or it could have been a fruit that disappeared since. After all, we lost a whole class of banana type, why not other things?
From the article:

"The organisation then tested it out by getting a number of ads mentioning winning prizes, or cocktails, or asking teens if they were “summer ready” approved for advertising to those targeted demographics."
