Also, notice that famous and/or rich people never die of "old age". They got proper healthcare, an issue was identified, there was at least an attempt to treat it.

But your average folks... eh, died of old age.

That's a different era. 10 years ago 10 minutes spend on OKCupid and then looking out of the window were enough to realise it doesn't make sense. Nowadays you have no choice.
Fun to see what this paper did - and Codenames itself is great!

It's best in person, of course, but it also works really well online with a bunch of friends. There's a free, official, online version here https://codenames.game/

Imo the last part is a bit too dismissive. It's not too hard to imagine how telemetry from software can be used for ad targeting, or for more nefarious purposes, since the telemetry would have access to track info, including metadata.

If we're imagining worst-case scenarios, my first thought is "use track info to discover unlicensed music usage". Or for ads.
It does seem contrary to the general principles he fights for. He just started it this month https://doctorow.medium.com/about

Some of what is on this blog is also available on https://pluralistic.net/, but not this particular piece, which was published 6 days ago. Not sure why.

Being just a prototype it might just have been enough to test, like the test Starships these days. Once you can cruise you can trade passengers/cargo capacity for fuel. But probably all the numbers were quite aspirational.

Also it probably would have followed a flight path similar to the Curtiss NC-4, with refueling stops, leaving the longest leg to be between the Azores and Newfoundland. Still much farther than the range though.

I think even if they could make it work though it would have been awful for a passenger. The cruise speed listed is incredibly slow. NY to London would take almost 2 days of flight time.
I don’t think anybody is aiming for statistical-research-publication level rigour on the data here. Yeah, it’s not an ideal proxy for genpop, but it’s far better than nothing. The goal here isn’t to be able to say 1.454% of users try feature X, rather it’s to be able to say “only a few users have tried feature X, is it correctly explained in the UI?”.
Putting discussions of deanonymization to one side for a second - how is collecting aggregate usage patterns "immoral"?

If your issue is about the potential for deanonymization then that's understandable but that's a discussion where we would need to talk about specifics.

The "delegate" statement encapsulates which exceptions are handled and how in the supplied callable expression. This is functionally different from repeating "except (FooExc, BarExc, BazExc) as exc: handle(exc)". It would also save two to three lines on average.

What do you use to run the self-hosted runners?
I agree that it is bad for feature decisions (a filter rarely used can't be removed, maybe the few times it is being used, it is important)

However telemetry reporting crashes with context information can be useful to identify bugs.

And the combination can be useful "each time a filter is being used it crashes" vs "the filter is used often, but crashes rarely"
It lists Sergey Brin as a Yahoo co-counder. I question their research.

And most people, I think, when they talk about extroverts just mean people who talk a lot. I don't see how anyone could identify an introvert (or an extrovert) from a conversation in a business setting.

Promotions in business are all about politics. Politics can happen with a couple of well placed whispers and a short speech if someone has mastered that game.

Effectiveness in business is all about we-don't-quite-know-what, so not much to talk about there.
I totally agree about the settlements but truth is thats not nearly enough for Hammas. They made it clear Israel is Palestine and jews have no business living there since they are colonists etc etc. Jews should basically f** off back to Europe. So again, as an Israeli what would you do? Europe is not so appealing to jews lately.

Many "smart" home appliances are also substantially more efficient... The fridge which does defrosting at night to save energy and be able to have a smaller compressor, the washer which measures the incoming water temperature and clothes weight and adjusts the water level and runtime to reduce energy use, etc. Many of these devices might overall halve energy use compared to a device from a decade ago.

Sure, some of those energy savings are a result of better design and materials rather than clever electronics and software, but often the two must be used together - for example the washing machine that can be lightweight because it uses software to rearrange the washing in the drum for the perfect balance... And a lightweight washer reduces energy consumption to heat it up...

This is very beautiful. I always found group theory to be one of the most fascinating subjects in mathematics. Symmetry -- a seemingly simple concept -- can lead to so much complexity...
You are severely overestimating Russia's army and underestimating Europe's.

Russia isn't even in the same league of spending power and the Soviet army of the past was way stronger.

While Russia spends a lot of money on their army ( % wise), they don't have the resources to renew it. What's left is a lot of old gear and some renewed one.

As a counter perspective, Ukraine would have made it's naval fleet completely unusable, as it needs to pass that country for getting anywhere.

And Europe ( in the last 30 years) came within missile range of Moscow, since the fall of the USSR.

The propaganda of Russia is mostly power related, but they are certainly not as powerful as they seem. And the cards don't look that great too.

A lot of their resources depend on oil/gas purchases from Europe and Europe is investing in alternative sources, while Russia can't raise the prices for their citizens/neighboring countries.

Eg. The pipeline Russia mostly invested in to Germany has been halted, because of Alexei Navalny: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/gas-pipeline-nord...

And last but not least, as a belgian citizen, i appreciate US presence and have no desire for foreign troops to withdraw. We all share ( mostly) the same/similar culture and perception.
Yup. And Visual Studio has Send a Smile/Frown, firefox had something similar plus a "Report site issue" button that takes you to a simple web form.

Those things are not super hard to put in place, and seems like a great way to get feedback that people wouldn't travel all the way to the Github issue tracker for =)
Maybe they hired him because he’s good at his job, and they assumed he would behave?
How bout you don't assume it's "poison" if Israelis don't share your personal views on this.

Its easier to call this an "ethnic cleansing" or "attacking civilian" then to actually admit that Gaza strip is a separate entity from Israel (unlike the west Bank).
Israel doesn't want that land (or else they would leave it years ago or do a better job claiming it)
They don't want to "clear the land of Palestinians" (or else they would just bomb them continuously instead of only when an escalation like this starts)

The fact is that in times of relative peace, Gaza receives some aid from Israel (power, water, medicine). The fact that this aid is conditional is only logical.

Yes, settlements are bad. But this is not the main reason why this is happening. The more co-existing west Bank have much better relations with Israel then the separated Gaza strip(although in the past, Gaza had much better relations as well-trade and workers could move almost freely)
> The chip shortage could lead to an era of hardware innovation
It can, but people currently busy "innovating" are at least half a decade too late. 200mm capacity shortage, and year long backlogs were common for at least 5 year now.

The opportunity from either exploiting the shortage, or ameliorating it is now long gone.

> That’s because electric cars require a lot more computer and chip-based components than those powered by gas

Electric cars require a lot less electronic components!!!

> “I saw a design the other day of a lightbulb with 12 components,” said Carrieres. “[My team] asked me if this was an idea, and I had to tell them that it was a real product.”

Recently we had a rush project for redesigning a control panel for a certain machinery. The task was to replace, or remove MCUs currently experiencing shortage.

After looking at the project for a few minutes, we realised MCU was used basically just for blinkey LEDs, and an interlock.

Our engineer slapped few 555s, flip flops, and registers in under an hour. Client engineers' jaws fell off.

While the real reason client was at the mercy of their supply chain was not that individual MCU, it still shows just how much blind following of "one chip to rule them all" can eat away at supply chain resilience.

If you have a part uniquely fitting your unique needs, the likeliness it being some rare widget, and having poorer availability increases.
In our case, we use a mac mini solely for building mobile applications via fastlane with a self-runner. Doing that with the GitHub runner on Mac would be mega expensive. The rest of the CI/test process runs on GitHub runners.

This article screams survivorship bias so much that it's hard to take without modest amount of salt. The paragraph that takes law as example makes a case that, based on the data from the linked Hamilton Project study (which itself used data from American Community Survey), those who majored in foreign languages and ended up being lawyer, judge or magistrate may earn a median of $148,000 annually, a whopping $54,000 more than those who pursued pre-law whose median $94,000. Here's the catch: 15% of those who pursued pre-law ended up being in the said profession, compared to only 4% for the said foreign language major[1]. If the median is to be the indicator for which major is the most valuable for the profession, then behold: Chemical Engineering takes the top spot at $186,000. In fact, among the top ten majors with the highest medians, only 3 of them are from the arts[2]. It's as if that within a certain field, people having rare expertise or knowledge are prized more.

I wouldn't go as far as saying humanities degree is worthless, but I'd say it's way too overpriced, compared to the high risk that you won't land a job that pays for the degree. There can only be so many managers in one company. One of the reasons why liberal arts is associated with elite caste is that they are financially stable enough to afford the risk.

[1]: There were actually two types of foreign language majors, one being "Other Foreign Languages" which is the one used here, while the other one is "French, German, Latin and Other Common Foreign Language Studies", which had a lower median of $90,500.
[2] The top ten median for the occupation "Lawyers, Judges, Magistrates, and Judicial Workers" were: 1. Chemical Engineering (186169.72), 2. Humanities (159796.36), 3. Mechanical Engineering (159796.36), 4. Molecular Biology (154469.44), 5. Molecular Biology (154469.44), 6. Physics (154284.3), 7. Zoology (151273.7), 8. Biochemical Sciences (149143.55), 8. Other Foreign Languages (147582.19), 9. United States History (143366.11), 10. Physiology (131770.11)
That would be pointless.

The history of musescore is not really the brightest, which may explain why people do not trust them much ([0] and discussion). Yes, they shelved telemetry and listened to the community, which is good, but they still proposed an intrusive change without discussion and only turned back because the outrage was big enough.

> Tinder actually can work, but pretty much only if you are an attractive guy

I did actually manage to get close to "attractive guy" for a short period, ie. the sweet spot of decent look, good photos, educated bio, catchy conversation starters, and purchasing the premium subscription. Then at around 200-300 matches and no real life encounters yet... got a nuclear irrevocable ban on the device, email address, and phone number.

I'm close to saying there are really no male winners in online dating. Females notoriously compain all they get is a queue of horny sexual partners willing for short encounter, wouldn't call it a win either.
> I don't see how anyone could identify an introvert (or an extrovert) from a conversation in a business setting.

Given a long enough conversation, I can most of the time.

Let's also keep in mind the true meaning of Introverts (and extraverts) https://carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts and not the common misunderstood concepts of shy/anxiety symptoms.

This. I think I understand the basic concepts, but you get a first big slap with doing your first curl to some other service. Ergonomics of the libs is often times horrible. You are in this constant loop, oh I can't do this I need algebraic derationalizer to align those types. Several hours later your curl request works. You start looking at wall to decompress. Curl is a pretty good example its a complexity that has been made super easy in a lot of languages.

I am very much waiting for some "extremely" constraint subset/flavour of Haskell that gets some adoption(I do not think I am alone in this lobby). No crazy stuff, no "just read the types", no "its just a small extension".
But I also know that it is not really feasible without breaking the IO enforcements.

A lot of people with proposals in this direction (most with only vague understanding about how electricity works, sadly) are wildly optimistic about the efficiency of wireless power transfer and wildly pessimistic about the efficiency of physical wires. I don't think wireless power transmission will ever replace large scale power transmission for terrestrial applications for example. It is also not very useful for powering small devices in (say) a room because the rectenna array need to be "facing" the transmitter and you can't guarantuee that for a phone in a pocket. You can make it up by increasing the power, but it's easy to show that it would need to transmit dangerous amount of EM radiation to get a reasonable amount of power to the device(s) in all scenarios. Hence the debunking.

That said, if transmission efficiency is not your absolute main concern (such as would be the case when powering a drone) and you can control the attitude of the receiver array then it can absolutely be done. Apparently a Canadian research institute built a rectenna-powered plane all the way back in 1987 that could stay aloft for months. If I would go into a project like this it'd be interesting to see why they didn't continue with this and why "modern" long endurance drones typically go for solar cells on the wings instead. Tech-wise, getting some basic arrays up and running would be a good idea too. Finally, I can imagine that a certain amount of political goodwill would be needed as well, since high power phased arrays and long endurance drones have obvious military applications and most governments like to keep a tight lid on military tech (for good reasons).

To answer your (intended-to-be-rhetorical) question: yes! NextJS webapps deployed to Vercel / AWS lambdas have excellent performance characteristics.
Seems less efficient and harder to maintain than preloading the optimally precompressed font file before the CSS statement as per step 3 of this guide. Not to mention this method preserves the flexibility offered in step 2 of the guide.
First, illegal obviously doesn't matter to Google. They are collecting GDPR fines but continuing as before. Responsible authorities in Ireland are asleep at the wheel, probably intentionally. As a user, "illegal" doesn't calm my fears, Google fearing to go bancrupt from fines would. But we aren't there yet. Also, Google will mostly avoid responsibility by dropping it all on the Audacity developers and their terms of service.

And ad targeting by button presses isn't the problem. Telemetry transmitting audio content, memory dumps, screen shots, home directory content is the problem. As an end user, I cannot distinguish between the harmless button-press telemetry and the harmful versions. Pinky swearing in the terms of service doesn't help, users have been lied to too often.

Oh, and btw, button presses can also be harmful, e.g. for an on-screen keyboard, a browser or any application where buttons reveal user data.

Unfortunately that also results in them trying to prove their colleagues are wrong about other of their colleagues being wrong.

Why would you do this when you already have invested in two native apps?

The user experience is unarguably better with real native apps - even considering react native is better than a lot of other alternatives.

Does it really make development that much cheaper to have one codebase (that probably still has platform specific code) than maintaining two separate native apps?

Like how much does this even save you? (if at all - considering native is a safe bet)

I'll bite. What part of React has really been innovative?

Because it seems to me that around the time React really gained popularity there were lots of options that did largely the same thing. Knockout, Ember etc.

Personally I only see it as the real proof that VDom could work for large applications.
Something like this would make it pretty easy to spot one of those stingray devices, I bet. Cell towers tend to stay put, so mapping out an area would go quick. Were a new 'tower' show up in an odd spot -- there may be shenanigans at hand.
> likewise, if you want to walk that metaphore... we are approaching a time where diseases are increasing resistant to medicine and we are making things worse by creating worse diseases (IE: MRSA and antibiotic resistant "super" strains). We work to "cure diseases", have short term successes and, ultimately, make things worse.

Antibiotic resistance is surely a problem but it doesn't indicate a general failure of medicine. On all other fronts medicine continues to improve, and even in the case of antibiotic resistance we aren't giving up. Phage therapy is a thing. New antibiotics continue to be found. We strive to prevent the mis-prescription of antibiotics in, for example, animal feed. And interestingly, the slowdown in antibiotic discovery is in part a market failure: it's hard to make back research costs with antibiotics, so the free market doesn't provide them even though we need them. It's not a good metaphor for free market fundamentalists.

As a Korean, I would very much like US troops to stay for another decade and more. I'm not sure why everyone's talking about Russia, but my worries are firmly fixated around China.
We're using https://next.yarnpkg.com/features/zero-installs, and it gets rid of one off issues like this (unless you have native deps which require an install).
I'm in Korea and I've yet to meet someone who actually wants the US troops out. I've met people vaguely annoyed with drunken US soldiers and stuff like that, but as far as annecdata goes, I think Korea wants US troops.

With Ethereum adopting proof of stake, Bitcoin will be left as the only driver for mining hardware. Even they will have to move to proof of stake some day, since it's not sustainable.

I believe that the bigest drivers for silicon demand will be IoT devices, including automobiles, especialy when they become more affordable in the 3rd world.

The pressure from SaaS and cloud is more predictable than the consume market, sonthe semi industry can plan ahead, IoT not so much. Just see how the auto industry was caught by surprise by the increased demand.
There are instances of copying. That doesn't mean all successful technologies are copied. Some technologies are harder to independently develop. Supposedly advanced jet engines are really really hard, but space technology strangely less so, because of lower safety requirements.

In other words: for the claim "their space technology is stolen", more proof is needed. Just because they copied some other area is not enough proof to say they copied this area.

The hysteria about this is absurd. To make product decisions you need to measure actual usage patterns. To do that you need telemetry.
