This is true, if you really know what you’re doing you can make salesforce sing. If you actually understand its breadth and depth Salesforce is a pretty amazing platform.
I'd pay it gladly if I knew I could get OS updates beyond 2 years... my issue with current flagships is unless you go Apple, you'll be buying a new one every few years.
Absolutely. When I was an unemployed teenager I had all the time in the world to fuck around with configs and make myself feel smart, but I can't think of a bigger waste of time nowadays.

I switched to OpenBSD around the rise of systemd and haven't looked back. Everything, including wifi, works as you would expect.
Good read.

It must be noted this article discusses von Neumann architecture and alike (Harvard).
It looks like a Model 3 that's driven less than 120 miles per day is feasible with level 1 charging.

Buy a shitty phone. Also, this technique from dealing with cigarette addiction would help: change your brand. If you use iPhone, buy a budget $100 android with the smallest screen possible. If you use Android, buy an old iPhone 5. It'll work for banking apps but should be annoying enough that you won't use it so much.

Next, what is the website/app you most want to quit? Make quitting that your keystone. Fully commit to quitting that one website. For me it was reddit, and I haven't used it once in 4 or 5 months.

Then, uninstall all apps and switch to firefox. Install the leechblock addon, put a delay on all websites you want to stop using.

Bonus: switch to nextdns and block sites at the DNS level.

If any of that sounds like too much work, you need to ask whether you're really serious about tackling your addiction. Are you really serious about this? Yes? Then it's time for serious action. Small actions won't cut it. You need to send your subconscious a clear message that this is important to you.

Also, consider what kind of information you spend time absorbing. You are what you read/watch. Get some books on habit formation, willpower, psychology, read those in your downtime. The Power of Habit and Atomic Habits are great.
Yes, this is a terrible practice. When I wanted to cancel my Planet Fitness membership during the pandemic I ended up using a third-party service to cancel it for me. It was well worth the 1-time $14-or-so fee to another company to send the required letter. Could I have done it myself? Probably, but after dealing with them I just wanted to pay once and never have to think about it again, well worth it.
All I'm saying - on top of the convenience of not having to get to a gas station in the morning, we also don't have to directly pay for the fuel, because our house generates enough power to charge the car.
> expecting anyone to sit in front of a screen and read and write text comments

I didn't say anything about how that text is written or read. Remember that I started this thread by talking about how blind people can use Clubhouse with their screen reader. So I encourage a variety of input and output methods -- keyboards of all kinds, speech recognition supplemented by whatever methods we can come up with to edit the dictated text, screens, text-to-speech output, etc.
This is a very common theme in many resumé websites, preying on people desperate for work.
They won't prompt you to pay a dime, but will let you design and write up your perfect resumé for over an hour... All before charging you $x for a one-time download or losing it all.
Yeah Intel and AMD both need competition from power efficient chips that perform equally well and offer the same level of support for Windows/Linux. And as you said, it's not going to be Apple - they have a consumer focus and culture and it's far fetched to imagine they will do all the stuff necessary for enterprise adoption of their ARM chips. In the cloud space Amazon has Graviton but there's not much hype about its performance and you run into compat issues a lot for normal cloud workloads at least in the Enterprise.

Nvidia has a real shot here with ARM purchase to fill the gaps but I doubt that's something they have as a focus.
Use the cleaner! It removes non visible lime build up in pipes and pumps.

It’s not for the steel interior really.
> People forget that it doesn't need to be 100% automated. If I can automate 25% of the work of a staff-level engineer, that's amazing. If I can do 50% of a junior engineer, superb.

This has been the trend since ENIAC.

And yet, the demand for programming is higher than ever. It could be another century before those lines intersect. Maybe longer.

We keep automating ourselves up into higher levels, only to discover that there is a ton more work to be done up there. Which, imo, is a very good thing.
For sure.

I run a pure digital modeling rig that can emulate a range of speakers.

The difference between a sim of say, Greenbacks or Creambacks and an Alnico Jensen is night and day.
I am reminded of an old story from back in the day when banking did not involve the internet. Some guy in paint-spattered work clothes went to the bank and some new hire bank teller was terribly rude to him so he threatened to close his account.

She was all "Feel free" and didn't budge an inch on her awful behavior so he did, in fact, close his account. For which I believe she was fired because he was the owner of a construction company and his accounts were worth millions.
It's a dark pattern because the usual reason is to be able to gather more data from the user, and to limit user control. By that notion I would say any design decision that helps the company while harming the user is a dark pattern.
> it is specially annoying...But does it cause harm or monetary loss

Why do you talk as if money is more important than time?
> Now the IRS says it has finally identified the Russian-Swedish administrator behind that long-running anonymizing system and charged him with laundering hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins, much of which was sent to or from dark web drug markets. What gave him away? The trail of his own decade-old digital transactions.

It's far from clear what jurisdiction the IRS has over people using Bitcoin.

Exchanges that use the USD - that makes sense. But the IRS intervening with someone who only facilitates certain kinds of Bitcoin transactions reeks over overreach. Not exactly surprising, though.
I think another key takeaway is that mRNA didn't really seem to interest anyone until the pandemic came along.
That’s more or less what they currently do: https://opensource.apple.com/
Likewise, with an attitude like this:

> Before I begin the infamous “cola punching” story, I should point out that I am quite short, and sport curly ringlets atop my short head. It’s been a constant battle to be taken seriously in the workplace; I detest the word “cute,” and woe betide anyone who perceives me as such.

...she's just setting herself up for disappointment- repeatedly. I'm also rather short and baby-faced and clients and coworkers are often surprised when I tell them I'm nearing 30 when I could just as easily be the fresh intern not a day older than 18. People aren't necessarily going to be malicious with behaviors like those. Could it be internalized misogyny/ageism or something along those lines and that no matter what it'd be out of the line? Maybe, but it wouldn't come from a place of genuine malice.
Same thing on Windows. It became incredibly slow on HDDs when SSDs started to become popular.
I said make assumptions I didn’t say be a shithead. If they saw you and alerted you to a spill over by the elevator don’t flip out when they made the presumption given you role played a custodian/janitor. If she asked you to go clean her car, sure by all means she’s stupid to do that but not for going for your ruse.
Let’s not forget the extra time gained by merely changing your physical location to do the same work. There are days I’d commute in and spend 6 hours on the phone. Not a very good use of life.
I was at the store today looking at packages and picking them up to see weight. Most of them could have held much more product.

I felt like (in some cases at least) it was deceptive implying the quantity of product was larger. The deception is a bit of a problem but the larger problem is "do we need that much wasteful packaging?". It's really environmentally unfriendly between useless production and disposal.

I personally don't care for bulk bins and cloth shopping bags, but this is a bit out of control.

Look at how much stuff you throw away each week. Maybe we could tax packaging somehow and make it more efficient?
Of course, you can make something rather NOT like a Strat that sounds like a Strat, too.

I've got a guitar that is pretty unlike a Strat headless, neckthrough, full floating trem with a wide range...and it sounds pretty straty. Of course, I specced it with single coils, a maple neck, an alder body.
gitgutter is amazing, btw. thank you.
I'm from Europe. There's all kinds is new regulations around 2fa for banking apps that came out last year, logging in seems to absolutely require a phone now, and all my accounts use an app to do it.
On mobile, reddit.com/.compact is an option. It's pretty stripped down but has some solid pros: it's fast, it has evenly sized (height) posts, the comments are easy to view. The post links with in-reddit photos/video do direct to the bad site, unfortunately. Another con (or pro) is infinite scrolling.
Only because Apple can afford to sell it at break even or a loss. All the comparable packages from third parties are at least 3x that price and nobody's getting rich there.
My EV gets about 2.5 miles per KWH, if I drive conservatively.

If I commute 25 miles daily, that would be 10 KWH a day, which is about $2.00 a day depending on a number of factors.

$60 a month is a lot, and you know people would drive more if they weren't paying for the energy.

Not to mention, you would need to upgrade your circuits if everyone was charging.
It's all rather silly, isn't it?
Ireland. There are strict regulations around 2fa for online banking.
Sounds good, but what about reducing contents by 20 %, then increasing by 5 %?
I have used many brainstorming techniques. Try some and see what you like. Here are some relevant links:

TL;DR http, properly implemented, supports a ton more stuff than even many “web developers” are aware of, like… range requests, which are exactly what you’d think they’d be.
I'll take that bet... and I've been playing through modelers for years.

They've gotten quite good, they're about 90-95% of the way there... but that 5% is pretty stark if you know what it is.

That said, convivence, portability, reliability, etc...
If anyone is interested in starting composting at home, I can recommend a Hotbin[1][2]. I recently purchased one and have had a good experience with it so far.

Being made entirely out of expanded polypropylene (not polystyrene/EPS/styrofoam), it is well insulated, can come up to 140°F in 3-7 days[3], and hold steady in the thermophilic range of 100°-140°F continuously so long as it is fed regularly. At those temperatures, those things you normally could not compost without horrid smells or pathogen concerns, like meats, fats, or pet wastes, will break down quickly and safely. Per the manufacturer, due to its insulated nature, it can hold those temperatures even in the dead of winter, making it useful year round instead of just a summer thing.

Yes, it's more expensive than other bins at the same capacity. But if you want to divert your kitchen waste stream from the landfill into producing a useful soil amendment for your own or others' gardens, it's worth it, IMO.

1. https://hotbincomposting-us.com/ (US)

2. https://www.hotbincomposting.com/ (England)

3. No, I am not exaggerating. Ambient to 140°F inside a week is completely doable.
Yeah, I have a house and an ev in the Bay Area and have not bothered to install a 240V charger. There are cheap’ish EV’s now with a large enough battery for this. We have the Kia Niro and the battery is more than large enough for this.
So, the extra quotes may seem like a lot, but I think in practice these are going to be parameterized queries... so something like this (in Python):

cursor.execute(
"""UPDATE t SET j['k'] = ?;""",
(json.dumps(newvalue),))

For transmitting JSON to the database server, it makes sense that the JSON would be serialized as a string, because that's the only standardized serialization format for JSON anyway. When you use parameterized queries, the parameters don't get quotes.

Edit: Doing some digging, on the iOS user agent, the `toolbar` portion is null, while with the Chrome windows user agent it's set to include the entire element:

https://i.judge.sh/flickering/Twilight/chrome_q978GUiwQ8.png

This looks to be the function that determines it:

So it's just a 'if mobile' check - maybe it breaks on some mobile screens (on a iphone 5/SE you end up being unable to view the channel name, not that it's an enjoyable experience anyways https://i.judge.sh/brave/Flare/chrome_nW26bTRXDe.png) or maybe it's a motive to get you to use the mobile app. This is just the desktop UI with some `if mobile` checks probably thrown in by a small number developers that want to support mobile browser support but aren't getting paid to do it.
Some consider E2K (Elbrus 2000) as successor to Transmeta Crusoe and it is not effected to Spectre issue. It does binary translation of x86 code as well and quite fast (20% preformance loss).
Can’t believe this isn’t against App Store rules.
Understanding Bias in Facial Recognition Technologies
There literally is no ruse.

The "test" is "are you shitty toward women".

Making assumptions and then acting on those assumptions (particularly in a hiring scenario) is, indeed, shitty shithead behavior.
How much of this stability and lack of turnover is due to unions and their rules, or similar policies that favor current workers? How much of it is enabled by the lack of competition government agencies face?
I also wonder how much of it is due to the dearth of decent ranged vehicles - my only option for my daily commute is still a Tesla unless I have guaranteed access to charging, which I don’t.

It wouldn’t take too many “well I can’t get home unless I find a place to plug my car in and wait an hour” before I went back to gas
The internet has commoditized facts. It doesn't matter who reports the news as it is everywhere in minutes as soon as it breaks. There is little to no reward for being first. The financial incentives therefore all push these companies into more profitable areas of journalism outside of reporting.
> ATT or App Tracking Transparency

I hadn't heard of Apple's new permissions model referred to this way. I think ATT as an acronym is already taken when it comes to cell phones.
I had a question about the following passage:

>"The key question is how the processor should make the guess. Two alternatives spring to mind. First, the compiler might be able to mark the branch to tell the processor which way to go. This is called static branch prediction. It would be ideal if there was a bit in the instruction format in which to encode the prediction, but for older architectures this is not an option, so a convention can be used instead, such as backward branches are predicted to be taken while forward branches are predicted not-taken.

Could someone say what the definition of "backward" vs a "forward" is? Is backward the loop continues and forward a jump or return from a loop?

Also are there any examples of "static branch prediction" CPU architectures?
It would upend US media companies and politics, to the benefit of the entire world.
Misreading that doc as “people will commit genocide” is a big yike for me.
What would life be like for an Earth-like planet that orbited a star like that? What about spaceflight (e.g. from a planet to a moon) within that solar system? And what would the rest of the universe look like to them?
Coil splits are very useful, but they never REALLY quite get there. Even when the secondary coil is off, there's still additional magnetic drag/pull on the string.

A good true single coil has this chime to it that I never get from a split (or tapped) 'bucker.
Under what legal principle would this be based on, and why haven’t we already seen this happen over say the last 50 years of consumer electronics?
This certainly does look like an interesting solution, I'd be keen to try it myself. However, just in case you didn't already know about Lunr (https://lunrjs.com/), it is fairly commonly used to implement search on static websites.

e.g. https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

There are of course other similar libraries too.

EDIT: Whoops, just saw a few comments below Lunr is already mentioned.
And yet developers working on front-end code to run in those browsers are waiting seconds for their linter or test suite or transpiler to process a few thousand lines of JS code, on a modern PC. Not a few million lines, a few thousand. That is orders of magnitude slower than it should be, and it's a cost that hits huge numbers of developers many times every day. Quite often, that awful performance is because the slow tools are written in a certain language also used in those "fast" browsers, and far too many developers are still giving this a pass because they incorrectly assume some magical runtime and JIT will make up for using a language that was never designed for high performance work and writing large, complicated programs.
I agree. Did I overlook a 'use cases' section? Any suggestions on short write ups?
Some consider it a feature that they can't communicate quickly with other computers. They don't need overhead of security. With limited networking, activities are simply different from modern computers.
IMO, They’re superior to Haas in every way except shippability. Their skins are thin, so the don’t survive the trip to most grocery stores.

(This is probably why SF distributors were so keen to sell their special avocados direct.)
Ask HN: Is optimal algo for determining global uniqueness a solved problem?
If given n groups of relatively unique vector elements (meaning that all the vectors in that group pass some kind of "uniqueness threshold", like distance from each other in 3D space), what is the fastest/optimal algorithm to determine the globally unique point set? The "uniqueness threshold" is applied equally.

If the largest possible number of globally unique points is the sum of elements in the groups somehow I feel like this would be the longest computation case?

Wondering if this is somehow an embarrassingly parallel problem that I shouldn't be missing.

I need to solve this problem for a project I am working on and I wanted to quickly check if this was some known easy/impossible problem that I should already know about.
It might be worth a try even if Amazon doesn't have an official field for it. Amazon UK has an "add delivery instructions" button in the address book, intended for building codes and suchlike. Failing that, you could try writing "what3words: foo.bar.baz" as your name.
Am I the only one who thinks its crazy it has taken them this long to do anything about this? This has been a real problem for well over 20 years.

Anyone else remember internet explorer toolbars? So many installers would include these, and avoiding installing them became progressively more difficult over time. They started with a simple checkbox that was enabled by default (bad enough if you ask me), then progressed to hiding the checkbox behind a button labeled 'Advanced Settings' or similar, then progressed to popping up another dialog that looked like another step in the install process, but required you to press 'cancel' to not install the toolbar and go back to the regular installer. There are probably many more worse examples, but this is all that springs to mind at the moment.

To an advanced user, these didn't seem like much - until you tried to use your grandma's computer and realized there were 10 toolbars installed...
A similar one is asking you to rate the app via the native modal (which does nothing) and if you rate with 5 stars they redirect you to the app store to vote there (where it counts). If you rate them with 1-3 stars they prompt you to leave feedback instead.
Yep it does! Had no idea.
Oh I get it. But as I said in another response below, what you're describing is the stage of a contact, not separate objects (in my opinion). You could just as easily have a single object but where the status was "lead" (no company name needed) and "contact" where you add the company information and the ability to add them to an opportunity.
Yes, thanks for that. I seem to not even be able to access the article.
Competitive Analysis for Product Engineers
I see you’re determined to just repeat imperialist propaganda. And yet it clearly keeps you uninformed, since both the DPRK and China do in fact have elections that the vast majority of citizens vote in. Their democratic systems are different from the liberal ones, but not missing.

It is certainly true that we Eastern Europeans are exploited by Western Europe and the US. We were forced to privatise healthcare, housing, trains, etc., deregulate labour protections, implement austerity measures, all to be allowed to trade with the rest of the world. And our labour is clearly exploited, since most jobs are with foreign companies that pay a pittance and extract value from our countries.
These kinds of tropes are in old movies. The 49er whos struck gold and looks like a vagrant. Tuco in the Good the Bad and the Ugly who mistakes a union soldier for a confederate soldier, etc.
> You can't restore backups! You can export your data, but there's no way to import it, because you can't set the object Id or autonumbered fields

Have you tried marking fields for user set IDs as external IDs. This field can then be used while doing upsert. But what do you mean by there is no way to import it? Apart from Dataloader there are a host of companies that offer this feature.
So if you live in the city and you do street parking you're screwed? What if you're doing a road trip?
