Very official Amazon-looking at first glance, until you realize that it almost looks like cut out by hand. And when I was promised "10 US€ for a 5-star reviews" on the back, I couldn't help but read it in Borat's voice. :)
There are incremental/larger/easier improvements and then there are populism "improvements." The one tends to amplify the other. Facebook was incrementally better than Myspace at first, and then became more popular and much better. Myspace was much better than Friendster. It's an evolutionary model where some improvements are made, some features are lost, and specialization meanders.

I think the transition point is when incremental improvements amplify themselves to the point where they are both way more popular and way more efficient than what came before.
Just curious, did you experiment with different GCs?
Sure, but afaik new homes do. And the latest prototype we built was battery run but I made a lot of mistakes so I’m starting over with the raspberry and eventually making a battery version again with another mcu.
No. Just no. You can redefine terms but this doesn't make it so.

Edit: "Despite the industry's attempt to create a specific EDM brand, the initialism remains in use as an umbrella term for multiple genres, including dance-pop, house, techno and electro, as well as their respective subgenres." - Wikipedia. Wikipedia being right for a change, this is industry BS. Don't buy it like a willing consumer.

Your child is just as likely to be a terrible person as they are a good one.

In fact, having children significantly increases the risk that what you leave behind is actually detremental to the world overall.

It takes a special lack of irony to write a comment like this. One of the most closed minded comments I've ever read.
...

Yes, "relative to things I design"

You think that applies to everyone?

You think that comes close to applying to people focusing on improving throughoutput specifically?
State control isn't in itself oppressive or liberating. It all has to do with what kind of state controls that power. A well-functioning democracy, with a high level of participation and engagement, of subsidiarity, a free and diverse press? Or an oligopoly?

Look no further than state control of resources (in this case oil) in the two countries Norway and Venezuela. Same idea (state controls oil revenues) and two vastly different results. Because one is a democracy and the other bought public support by social programs spending to prop up his cronies' assault on government wealth.

So yes, ideal thing would be democratic control over capital and means of production. That's better than the current effectively oligarchic control where a small elite disproportionally holds unaccountable and opaque power. However, that's probably still better than an authoritarian government control.
Why not use the built-in profile functionality?
What I found interesting is that Gitlab also replaces the repository UI with a generic 503 page that links to the status page.

An improvement would be to have a static/cached version (at least of the repository main page + readme). OTOH I guess these maintenance windows are perhaps infrequent enough (or planned to not exist going forward).
FWIW, I've met McDonough, and a friend did a bunch of work with him. He's an interesting person and has done some genuinely interesting projects. And not in terms of big fancy ultra expensive ones, he's been on the "sustainability" theme for a very long time, it's genuine. But he's always spoke like that, no doubt reinforced by trying to speak in ways that would convince movers and shakers to give a shit. Bunch of us got a huge laugh when we saw this, someone thought "gee that looks like something he'd be interested in" then lo and behold, there it was, and same flowery funny language as always.

Anyway, just a random anecdote that that kind of language long predated GPT-3. It learned from somewhere :).
That was a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing it.

In practice I dont know of a single SSD brand/model that goes read only upon failure. I do know specific cases of manufacturer lying about this ability tho, like Intel.
It really is cool, but what I don't understand is why do we need all this techno-babble-esque wording around the idea of "3D printed wood", just call it that.

I see way too many simple but cool concepts bogged down by an epic written collectively by the marketing dept. muddying the true concept of things.

We re-use wood-waste to 3D print objects.

So simple, to the point and just as cool.

Ref counting is more efficient than any GC allocator, which is generally the default in C++.
God knows if Google does any kind of cross-correlation between them. I would actually expect it.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it.

Is it a good living? Yes. Is it commensurate with the value Evan has helped create through Vue.js? Not even close.

But that's kind of the deal with open source, isn't it?
> Maybe interacting with the finance department was above your pay grade.

It was not, we were a nimble and lightweight team with everyone doing everything they could possibly do. I had insight into accounting and helped them with implementing some stuff and some of the designers helped with frontend as some of them knew HTML and CSS and so on.

> The bigger the operation, the more costs matter. That's a thumb-rule you can find anywhere.

Yeah... I think I agree? "The bigger the operation" is referring to the employees working for the company, not the number of users right? If so, that was exactly my point. It's about the number of employees that dictate if accountants gets involved or not, not the number of users.
The other way around as C. Clarke's work is younger than this one.

As another one who dislikes WhatsApp these day and defend Telegram I think we should still stick to the facts instead of going down to this level:

I've seen no credible or verifiable claim that Facebook currently has access to the keys.

That said: credible and preferably verifiable sources are very welcome.

However, depending on your threat model WhatsApp might still be a huge problem, and this is public information so you can verify it for yourself:

If anyone you communicate (or you) enable backups in WhatsApp, any chats that person is part of is uploaded to Google as unencrypted data, i.e. I believe the upload channel is encrypted but it is stored in a way that everyone who can force Google to give them access can read them.

Which means that you group chats might very well be readable to Google and everyone they have to obey without you even knowing.
From a consumer point of view it is a win, but you have to earn the money in the first place and that means over time your employer will have to cut your wages in nominal terms, because your real wage is going up year by year. Employers would demand deflation adjusted wages or just fire their overpaid employees.

Deflation is also a win for people who have inherited their wealth a long time ago, because they have to do absolutely nothing to protect their wealth. It's basically rent seeking but this time it is with money.

There is another problem, the real value of debt grows over time, which makes it harder to repay debts.

However, I will admit one thing, occasional deflation spikes are not a bad thing, if they are followed by inflation that meets the 2% target.

It's so weird, across all Google's products I occasionally get these weird Arabic and sometimes even Islamic content suggestions.

I've never opened any of these links, am not behind a VPN, am very much not Arabic and do not understand the language, and - with all due respect - am completely uninterested in Islamic holy scripture.

Why, even after all these years, Google thinks this is content I'd want to see is a complete mystery to me. Something I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life it seems.
I have multiple about:profiles on Firefox, each with different accounts (think school vs personal vs work etc.) Works quite well.

Oh, if you simply want to send files from a command line utility to a browser and vice versa, may I recommend WebWormhole [1]?

There is both a webapp (which works on mobile browsers) and a command line client. The command line client can even display ASCII QR codes for easy access on mobile devices.

The only problem is long-running background uploads/downloads, but I don't think a mobile app could help there (at least on iOS).

Apparently this is V2 or even v3 of something internal. So probably V1 did what you were saying :-)
> The contraction doesn't make sense as you are omitting one character to replace it with another.

Are you saying that it's pointless to replace the w with an apostrophe because the number of characters doesn't change? If so, this is not how contractions work. The point isn't to reduce the number of characters in writing, the point is to indicate in writing where letters have been omitted in the spoken pronunciation of the contraction.

Smithy, Protoforce, Taxi - is the assumption synchronous request/response? OpenAPI has callbacks (https://swagger.io/docs/specification/callbacks/), I am not seeing that in these others.

The other thing I am not seeing is a service registry, eg something like UDDI. How do microservices know about each other? Is that a build over common IDL and a coordinated deploy?

One large-scale EMP incident, and that is no longer the case.

We have alot more data now, but I am not sure how durable it all is.

I have quite a few DVDs and hard drives that no longer work.
Same here. Solving completely artificial problems is boring.
That's fair criticism, but it takes my comment more literally than I intended. I'm tempted to defend my use of hyperbole by rattling off a list of spectacularly dumb ideas social media have made popular. I'll resist the temptation because you can all predict which examples I'd use; people have talked them to death.
How are you going to take on the UX suffering without using the service?
I'm an amateur radio operator and dabble in microcontrollers generally and also specifically for amateur radio projects. I use a 100MHz 4 channel digital scope, a Rigol DS1054Z. I'm not recommending that one as it's a bit old now and you may be able to get newer scopes with more bang for the buck, but you probably want something similar or better in terms of specifications. For example, if you want to look at RF frequencies higher than 50MHz you probably want a 200MHz scope. Even if you think you don't need 4 channels get 4 anyway. When you need more than 2 your really need more than 2!

Resist the urge to go up market for your first buy. You don't really know what you want from a scope until you've used one for a while.

Another weird example is how Apple's own "Clips" app has a special private entitlement that bypasses the permission prompt for camera access.

Would it hurt them so much to prompt for camera access the first time the app is started after installing it from the app store?

I found that extremely worrying as it means I can no longer trust the app store to provide a safe sandboxed environment. Suddenly there's an app with this special no-cam-permission entitlement and your mugshot is uploaded when you believed the ios camera permission system would have protected you.

Oh, but Apple would only ever grant that permission to its own apps? Better hope we'll never get a repeat of the PsychicPaper exploit!
This is a bad rule of thumb, because NAND Flash is a physical device with moving parts - cells grow and shrink during normal operation, this is where the limits on cell erase cycle count comes from, worn out cells develop cracks and leak electrons.

I don’t know if there are open source hatetris available, but in my case it was an assignment so that wasn’t an option.

If i build something from scratch it doesn’t really matter that it “could have been” built on open source. And in any case, it might be perfectly legal and in accordance with the license to do what OP did, I’m just saying it’s bad form. Making a minor tweak doesn’t make it “by you”. It just doesn’t.

And this is not medicine and lovetris doesn’t save any lives, so I’m bot sure it’s relevant.

Use Firefox multi-account containers and the temporary containers add-on. Now your YouTube starts fresh with every new tab. It's actually nice, it means you get to build a new set of recommendations each time you open a tab, and because YT doesn't have that much data on you yet, the recommendations are directly linked to the thing you're currently watching, similar to how it used to be before the whole tracking extravaganza.
It never occurred to me to judge a flashing tool based on its internal architecture and language/framework choice.

I judge it based on whether I get a bootable bit of flash out the other side.

It's funny, just today I noticed how much worse is Google Now feed (or whatever it's called today) because it keeps repeating news items and category that I have very little interest in. It's almost like Google is trying to save money by computing less accurately for my interests.

It saddens me to read such nihilistic comments here. Specially based on such clichés.

Under which metric is the planet complete ruined? and why do you think it's overpopulated? what's then the maximum number of people that should live on this planet according to you, and based on what?

Under lots of metrics, today's planet is a much healthier and prosperous place to live for humankind than it was 100 or even 50 years ago. As an example, for most human history life expectancy was no more than 30 years. Nowadays we are around 70 and quite some countries already over 80. Poverty was common some centuries ago, with around 90% being considered poor. Nowadays it's only around 10% of population. Literacy has also advanced tremendously, with now around 90% of people under 25 being able to read and write.

And all of that has been happening thanks to those that were here before us. Yes, the ones we have forgotten their names, but for whom we live now in the capable and free societies that are most of the western countries.

Having children is an extremely important part of that legacy. They are the immediate inheritors of the ideals and visions of the ones that were here before us.
For some of the stocks at least, the fundamentals appear to be good though. They are actually making money.

The "Red One" of the title refers to a giant red sphere, of apparently extraterrestrial origin, that the headhunting natives worship as their god and to which they perform human sacrifices. Bassett becomes obsessed with the Red One and in the end is sacrificed himself.

Sounds like a predecessor of the Michael Crichton book/film Sphere.

A spacecraft, presumed to be of alien origin, is discovered on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, estimated to have been there for nearly 300 years...Soon after, Goodman and the others eventually stumble upon a large, yet perfect sphere hovering in the cargo bay. They cannot find any way to probe the inside of the sphere, as the fluidic surface seems to be impenetrable. Upon observation, Goodman ominously notes the sphere reflects everything in the room except them.

The famous Vim sudo-write trick
Everything is filtered through human perception and pattern-matching. Everything. There's a difference between groupthink religion (which tends to spread exponentially when unchecked) and harmless little beliefs like this. So what if someone notices a pattern where there isn't one?

It's known that animals can sense certain scents that can indeed be foreshadowing of death or health decline. Isn't it even the slightest bit possible that the grouse may have smelled something that humans couldn't begin to perceive? More importantly, do you have any proof or knowledge that would actively disprove this? No, that's not a requirement in science, but it is a handy discussion aid.
This is so fucking cool. `cat` doesn't work in Terminal. Probably put a bunch of basic commands for someone curious.
Yeah, Turkey is pretty much a go to case for "Don't trust the government, trust the central bank".

What Erdogan should do is to support the agriculture sector and help it provide enough food for everyone.

By forcibly lowering interest rates he is actually cutting off financing for the most productive companies. High interest rates are supposed to drive out unproductive companies and make it harder for them to acquire financing.

If the agriculture sector is highly productive (indicated by rising food prices) then it will automatically obtain more funding and other companies will have to downsize, which makes more resources and workers available to agriculture companies.
They're very capital intensive so it's understandable that they got rid of the old trains. The new train sets seem to be around £20 million each[1]. They're also not owned but rented by the train operating companies.

A different perspective is - why do I need to leave something behind (children or otherwise)? What matters is how I spent the little time I have on this planet, while I am alive, isn't it?

As long as I am happy and helpful while I am alive, that seems more important to me than anything else.
