I've never been really poor, but similarly to you, there were periods in life when I at least earned some respect and appreciation for money. Going to the grocery store and buying the absolute minimum necessary, while picking the cheapest products.

There were two thresholds that I remember distinctly: the first one was crossing from "poor" to "ok", when I could go shop for groceries and buy most things (though still looking at the price tags, to avoid the expensive stuff). That was a big step up from buying the bare necessities.

The second threshold, "rich", was when I realized I don't have to worry about the prices in my local grocery store. I can just buy whatever I want.

In the grand scheme of things, this isn't "rich" by any means, but it is enough to provide immense comfort and ease of living. I think many people who have this comfort are unable to appreciate what they have.
It's an analogy, not a shoe review.
I second that. Half of these “issues” arise from the fact that author is a programmer-y person and knows how unichars work. Normal people have no clue and completely no expectations on that matter, and don’t wanna have.

Neither do I. If I’d fuck my emoji up in such way, I’d just expect to backspace it and type it from scratch. No need to spend mythical man-epochs on a trivia nobody really cares of.
I’m always amazed that just slightly better grammar would increase the scammers success rate by miles.

There is no way I would read the correspondence as legit, but it’s not bad and given the return on the scam it’s wild that they don’t slightly improve that step.
> Just don't leave stuff out in the open, lock your stuff and maybe don't drive a prius, people like to steal the catalytic converters.

IME this is becoming an increasingly common attitude in many cities besides SF. And it’s a problem of social decay - fear of being considered an asshole by calling some behaviors just unacceptable. Americans are (somewhat ironically) terrified of being perceived as assholes, and we’re letting our social standards erode more and more each decade.

We don’t have to relent to this. Expecting to be able to leave something out and it not be stolen is not unreasonable. Expecting not to be assaulted is reasonable. Expecting people to not shoplift is a reasonable expectation in any civilized society.
My 7th grade math teacher once said “you can factor prime numbers until the angel Gabriel blows his horn at the end of time but it ain’t gonna do you no good!”

She also referred to improper fractions as “big top” or Dolly Parton “because she’s big up top, you know what I mean?”

Yes Mrs. Covington, we did :-)
Please note that this is a quote from a fantasy world that is a disc, that rests on the back of 4 elephants, that stand on the back of a turtle that's swimming through space. Take the specifics with a grain of salt ;-)
This might be intentional. The better the grammar the harder they have to try throughout the entire process.

Getting grammar wrong likely attracts the level of sophistication required to make the scammers job easy.
The BSD way of doing things is fine, see FreeBSD and how nice it is to use it (until you start X, at least).

The issues are 100% due to Apple's lack of care for developer concerns.
The community edition of PyCharm is pretty widely regarded. VSCode is also pretty good but I would say it's more of an impressive text editor than an IDE.
That's not more recent, it's a decade older than the meta analysis showing that there are not material behavioral effects.

Arch already uploads symbols for their Firefox builds so that's OK, it's the dependencies that are missing. Unwinding information is used to produce accurate stacks. If it's lacking our unwinder has to rely on heuristics to discover the frames on the stack and those might end up producing suboptimal traces.
The GP included "accidentally backdoored", in which case that's probably all of them. Even if you exclude accidents, there are probably some deliberately created, not-yet-burned covert access techniques for many devices. We don't know what we don't know, but we do know there are agencies tasked with Total Information Awareness, and have some evidence of the type of stuff they get up to.
Why is it acceptable for people who espouse currently popular racist ideas (e.g. the anti-white training put on by Coca Cola) to remain employed in your paradigm?

Do you carve out an exception where it’s acceptable to cause problems for people as long as they aren’t a minority?

I agree ai curation doesn't work but I don't think human curation works much better. Twitch has a team of human curators that will ban channels, no one knows who this team is there is no trial or opportunity to defend your self, channel or content. The person judging may be in a bad mood today, often diffrent people will get diffrent ban lengths for the same thing, there is no consistency or review process.
I use it only at work. It has many issues. Lagginess isn't one I noticed.
Android was only marginally better until google announced they would allow app stores to update apps in the background from android 12 onward.
I'll go ahead and be naive here, but hasn't Linux solved the dependency issue with all their packaging formats? With a CI setup, you can have a pipeline that tests your game, builds it on multiple platforms in multiple package formats (AppImage, flatpak, snap, deb, rpm, etc.) and checks if the game will start (on CI) with headless X11 (Xvfb).

Locally, you could use vagrant to startup multiple linux distros then build and startup the game for a visual test. It would then be easier to output a list of "tested on platform/distro X,Y,Z" as well as the deps for each of them.
This sounds like doubling down on the approach was causing the problems.

The desire to control and incentivize researchers to compete against each other in order to justify their salary is understandable, but it looks like it has been blown so out of proportions lately that it's doing active harm. Most researchers start their career pretty self-motivated to do good research.

Installing another system to double-check every contribution will just increase the pressure to game the system in addition to doing research. And replicating a paper may sometimes cost as much as the original research, and it's not clear when to stop trying. How much collaboration with the original authors are you supposed to do, if you fail to replicate? If you are making decisions about their career, you will need some system to ensure it's not arbitrary, etc.
How to Prepare for Refactoring in Python?
Refactoring is inevitable in any sufficiently complex piece of software.

Type system in Java, C++ or C# helps the process immensely. Automated tooling can do most of the heavy lifting there.

In Python type hints are optional. Additionally, many libraries are written such that typing is hard (example: Flask's g object, or SQLAlchemy's models).

How to anticipate refactoring in Python and write code that is easy to refactor?

Things that worked well so far:

- verbose names. Longer variable or function name is less likely to collide with others within a project. Helps to quickly find all places in the project where the variable or function is used.

- ending variable names with _type. Example: `current_user`. Searching for `user.last_login_date` will surface `current_user.last_login_date` too.
Harmful considered harmful?
We can't give the poor tax breaks because, mostly, they don't pay taxes. The bottom 50% of tax payers account for 3% of income taxes[1]. Of course, there are other taxes like payroll, corporate income, and excise taxes - but I'd guess that the genuinely poor, say the bottom 5% or so, aren't paying much corporate income or payroll taxes either. This doesn't account for state or sales taxes, but according to this calculator[2] a single person making 12k a year would pay 72 dollars in state taxes in California.

You can get free health insurance if you're poor. You can get free food. You can get free shelter. You can get free education, including higher education. Being poor is, of course, no picnic, I'm not trying to say it isn't bad, but I think your post minimizes the extent to which our society offers opportunities to the poor.

I think it's much to worse to say "Okay poor people, you can steal, no consequences" and then step back and let a relatively small number of thieves destroy local businesses. Jobs, stores, wealthier law abiding citizens go away and now you've trapped the remaining poor in a much worse place to live - but hey, at least you didn't punish thieves for committing crimes, right?

I can not comment on specific events, is a really good expression. Even if you give a detailed explanation chances are I am going to see too many holes in it, just by coming from a different perspective. I've been a techbro at times, even though I'm a convinced feminist, but I also like to hear when my action are experienced that way. So I should not comment on your situation, I can just say that there are examples where complaints about that should at least taken lightly.
Bring your device to BGA reworker and he can change the chips on board.

I really don't like the idea that manufacturers MUST provide easily replaceable parts. That will affect product weight and dimensions.

Anyways, repair shops are dealing with chips all the time, so I see no problem of chips being changed, swapped and, if manufacturer provides list of supported RAM chips - those can be changed too.
I think maybe matching the compression speed with the network speed is what you want to do.

In a place with ubiquitous fast broadband, a compromise with regard to decompression speed might be ok.

It's just a speculation, but it's probably a bullshit excuse to ban whoever they want honestly. Advertisers can definitely back out from smaller websites, but from Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitch? I doubt it. They're supposed to throw away all that reach because of what, because their ads appeared on a couple of videos that were either sexually suggestive or because someone said the N-word? I run adblock, but if I'm not mistaken there are plenty of ads that are sexually suggestive themselves. On top of that I believe YouTube are about to play ads on all videos, if they aren't already doing that (by the way, they promised that they won't do that, but it was years ago, so no one remembers that). It's just that they'll ban you for whatever arbitrary reason or you just won't get any money if you're lucky.

Ironic speech police coming from a throwaway. You clearly don’t really think people should be held accountable for what they write.

I don’t think there’s any evidence that most people agree with your perspective. Unless there is evidence, please don’t try to bolster your argument this way.

My question, then, is this: if punishing people for crimes was shown to be ineffective for society, you would continue to support punishment?

I think I must be misunderstanding. It sounds like you are saying that you’d prefer to cut off your nose to spite your face. (Punish criminals despite punishment being a net negative.)

This isn’t to boost any particular flavor of justice. I am just curious about your perspective.
> Sorry how can raw ingredients be expensive?

Literally just the price tags in the store. I once baked some pumpkin spice muffins for a friend in NYC who wasn’t in the habit of cooking (so I had to buy everything). Total cost: $45. I think it would have come to about $10 in London (where I live).

Admittedly, he’d have had some flour and butter to spare after that. But you have to somewhat know what you are doing to take advantage of the remaining ingredients.
Who decides what’s good? People have different preferences. My mother doesn’t like the “good coffee” as per your description for example (I love it however).
What is your argument here? That your co-workers are obliged to only have positive feelings towards you?

Yes, that would suck. And yes, you would feel bad about the whole situation. But unless they have actually victimized you in some manner (say, this blog actually identifies you, or they're actively hostile to you at work) then no, you aren't entitled to any action against them.
Am I misremembering? I coulda sworn that originally the 'white' (realistic, non-yellow) emojis were the only option, and the "neutral" yellow tone was added at the same time as the more diverse set of realistic skin tones. I'm certain that's how it was in Slack, for example - I remember discussing it with people at the time. Was I hallucinating?
I understand that it selects for the kind of the people who are more likely to be taken in by the whole thing. The scammers don't want to waste their time with people who will drop out of the process before handing over what the scammer wants, and if the number of people who will drop out is high enough, it becomes unprofitable; the scammer needs good leads who are more likely to be taken in.

Here's a piece from MS Research coming to that conclusion ("By sending an email that repels all but the most gullible the scammer gets the most promising marks to self-select")

Reminds me of PowerSnap on the Amiga, that did a very simple version of this (it did not run a proper OCR engine, but relied on a very close match with one of the installed fonts, so worked great for UI of apps that didn't support cut and paste, not so great for images unless they were created using the same font and not scaled, but still very useful).
You need to learn to cook and cook well (time), buy the raw ingredients (time), cook them (time), clean the kitchen utensils and the kitchen itself (time).

Every person that cooks often that I've talked to grossly underestimates how much time their cooking takes them.

The ones that are more efficient either have a ton of cooking experience and talent or just a great kitchen setup, which is a rare luxury and generally a large investment.
I think there are several problems in how things are framed and the language we use. This is important because conflict resolution depends on it.

1) "creating a hostile work environment" means different things to different people which makes it hard to pin down.

2) Person Y claims "Person X made them feel unsafe", which can't be proven since there are no outside witnesses to how people "feel". Maybe I just disliked the person for other reasons and this gave me an opportunity to get at them.

3) People will get offended easily for billions of reasons depending on what their believes are (especially in a heavily polarized society).

4) Solidarity: my friend/coworker who I like claims X makes them feel unsafe so I believe them and stand in solidarity with them because I know them better than I know X. This can easily be turned into "I don't feel safe" in order to get back at them because the moment you have an additional "witness" it will get harder to question the event with every person who says they also feel this way. It becomes safer to just stand with them or to say you weren't there but very risky to stand up for the (alleged) perpetrator.

There is a saying "I can't change what people say, but I can change my reaction and how I feel about them, and whether I allow it to affect me".

If the framing/language requires me to trust that the other party is truthful (but which I don't) then solving the resolving the conflict is impossible.

Personally I dislike the woke movement because I come from a different time where we were told to settle things by ourselves and the person screaming or appealing to the higher authority was not applauded for doing so but considered a coward. This had also many problems but they were not better or worse than what we do today.

When I see my friends bring up their children and protecting them not only from physical harm but also insulating them from the feeling of offense, telling them it's their right never to have a feeling that they don't like and blame the other party the moment they do, so they never experience outrage and how to deal with it - then it becomes clear (to me) why so many kids have turned into idiots. If we then give these people virtual/digital technology and rob them of any real type of social connections and a chance to resolve conflict IRL it's a recipe for exactly this kind of disaster.

Doesn't it? Although there are no-interest loans (for a promotional period at least), you are most likely going to pay more than what the price tag says since the bank wants to make a buck too. So the poor people end up spending more again.

I do agree that it is a better scenario than having to always buy the lesser quality item, but you still are paying the 'poverty tax'

It’s a CVS, they can decide to close that store if they want and it would be fine for them. The real issue is for small shops or for the employees who have to deal with this kind of bs. I live in SF and I avoid downtown and convenient stores for this exact reason. And Don’t tell me about public transport.
Smart people love to solve complexity, but they often forget that “how it should work” is a complex knowledge by itself and the more people know, (1) the less they trust an implementation at hand, and (2) the more likely they have a different opinion. Sometimes you just have to kick the can down the road and accept that nothing and nobody is ideal. Then you get a working system that everyone loves (except chinese).

I dug into the code, looks like it use VNRecognizeTextRequest[1] from Vision framework by Apple here [2].

And the docs says
>By default, a text recognition request first locates all possible glyphs or characters in the input image, then analyzes each string.

Since the code doesn't specify any preferred languages, I think it would try to detect any languages supported by the framework.

From short googling, I found this thread [3]. Looks like the supported languages depends on the MacOS version, and it only support en, fr, it, de, es, pt, zh on Big Sur.

Not sure about the rotation though.

Recently, cloud gaming apps and paying for subscriptions. Google Stadia and Xbox Streaming are not allowed through the iOS Store. Netflix and Spotify(not sure about this one) do not allow you to pay for the subscription on their app because Apple asks for 30%.

Apple does not allow other browser rendering engines. So now every iOS browser is just a Safari wrapper and you're unable to do any sort of plug-in, like adblockers.

These features being blocked does not help customers. They only help Apple.
It's not about sweeping it under a rug or not caring. It's that when you have a choice between fixing a crash bug and fixing a performance bug, you fix the crash bug. And when you have a choice between fixing in-game performance and fixing out-of-game performance, you fix the in-game performance.

Slow loading times, frustrating though they can be, close to the absolute lowest priority issues you will have in gamedev. You only get to fix them (and trust me, game devs find them way more annoying than you do!) once all of the higher priority issues are fixed.
