Some of it is really effective! Being able to push an ad on LinkedIn to, like, only HR people at Fortune 500 companies is absolute gold. And saves a lot of people from looking at poorly targeted garbage messages.

The problem is that the markets are so danged efficient. Because everyone can so efficiently target the right people, you get exactly what you pay for. So you can blow a lot of money to find out that your message isn't right. Ironically, the amount of targeting data available makes it harder to justify A/B testing just because of the cost involved anymore.
I’m always a bit disappointed that people making the case for mouse-lite workflows stop at “it makes you faster.” In many cases, this is patently false at a global scale - I’ve been using Emacs for a month and I’m certain that I’ve already spent way more hours customizing and researching than I’ll ever make back from saving a couple deciseconds every time I use a keyboard shortcut instead of a mouse.

For me, using Vim keybindings and Emacs shortcuts is valuable because reaching for a mouse or navigating menus adds mental overhead. I view the moment-to-moment practice of programming as largely being an exercise in working memory. You’re trying to hold an abstraction in your head and implement it in an existing codebase that’s filled with other abstractions and interacting parts. Personally, removing a mouse from my workflow does wonders for ensuring that all my mental resources are dedicated to the task at hand. Going mouse-lite might save a trivial amount of time in the moment, but (for me) it makes programming more seamless and natural - which makes it not only more fun, but more productive.
Depends on your definition of “brute force”, I guess. Between explicitly deriving some algorithm from an understanding of causal relationships, v.s. training a neural net on billions of samples without encoding any broader understanding of the world, the latter approach is the one I would have called “brute force”.
For reference, the SMART Health Cards Framework (https://spec.smarthealth.cards) is the underlying specification behind these QRs. I've had the privilege of working with a broad swath of the healthcare IT ecosystem (in the US and internationally) on these openly licensed, standards-based specifications for consumer access and data sharing.

The SMART Health Cards Framework is designed to dovetail with SMART on FHIR APIs for consumer access (which all Electronic Health Record vendors in the US are on the hook to support over the next year).

As Apple own it anyway, what difference would releasing it as gpl make?

They could still do as they like, as it’s theirs. Do they accept significant code from the community?

This is why I find the “use agpl” claims about projects run by a company disingenuous- they’re using the licence restriction to prevent competition while they have the freedom to offer “enterprise” editions however they wish.
You didn't start this argument in good faith, you started with a straw man and then added several more. You have also misquoted me and ignored most of what I wrote.

> have trustworthy qualifications.

This doesn't answer the question. People already have trustworthy qualifications, so this solves nothing. Your own point proves your answer wrong: people will game the system. You're contradicting yourself.

Doctors and structural engineers achieve trustworthy qualifications by doing a 4 year residency / apprenticeship program after their degree. Is that what you want in software? You would prefer years of supervised and low paid work rather than spend a total of a few days of your life doing easy coding tests?
I tried out a bunch of tools. The calendar, markdown files, todo apps, I tried them all. Nothing quite stuck around.

So I decided to build a tool on my own with help from a friend. Add items to the list board, and they get added to my calendar as and when time is available.
The border between Belarus and Poland is the former border between Soviet Union and Poland, its infrastructure beats whatever Trump wanted to do with the Wall. Crossing it illegally is close to impossible.

Borders with Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine are a bit more leaky, but one has to be physically fit and logistically prepared to cross, and there is still a risk of being caught. And then what about kids and elders?

So, this is not a legal restriction, but a real ban.

Yeah, but a vast amount of healthcare is under the DoD in America while it wouldn’t be in other countries.
I'm a Christian so I know all about the "I'm a virgin and want a virgin" thing and couldn't approve more. Just... healthy expressions of it. The complete production people put on when a 25+ virgin is discovered is shameful, not for the virgin but for everyone acting it out. I hope I didn't imply I subscribe to any of that. But that being wrong is still an example of calling out an untruth. It isn't a truth unto itself.

> I could be convinced but I'm not sure. I think this is more of a PUA thing.

There will usually be something like a PUA nearby torturing or exploiting them with demands and expectations, yeah. Narcissists form vicious hierarchies. Incels are just the ones at the bottom. You have to subscribe to the gymbro's ideas/values before he can 'win points' torturing you about gains or whatever. They're both obsessed with looking in the mirror. One just likes what he sees so he ends up higher in the pyramid. They both project their own self-image (bad or good) onto the expectations of others.

Lots of people think of narcissism as an after-the-fact thing but it's not. It's a pattern that anyone can be in, ugly or beautiful, rich or poor. Incels are unsuccessful narcissists; PUAs are successful narcissists. You're right to see a pattern.

In simplest terms, narcissism is an addiction to deeming things not good enough. The three flavors of targets are family/friends/SOs (covert), things (megalomania) and groups of people (grandiose). Incels are basically grandiose narcissists that can't back it up with any form of societal success.

> But it’s also worth stepping up another level again, and asking what advertisers are trying to do, anyway. People say ‘privacy’ so often that one can lose sight of the fact that advertisers don’t care who you are - they just want to show ads to people that might be interested in them, and not to show ads to people who won’t be interested. They don’t want to ‘violate your privacy’ - they want to show diaper ads to parents, car ads to people who want a car and watch ads to rich people.

This guy says this like advertisers have an inalienable right to show ads to people. Get the heck out of here.
At sea the fact that "down" is perpendicular to the horizon is useful, because the horizon is pretty much a straight line. On land this is irrelevant because the horizon is rarely flat on land.
Yes. It’s a scarier way to say that it’s opt-out.
Just stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and just in time for handling some stuff in my current project!
Some of the motivating examples are hard to understand, unfortunately. You can't do quantum mechanics without group theory, and if you can't do quantum mechanics, it will be much harder to understand how half the instrumentation in your chemistry lab works.

I did ask my co-workers. No one complained.

You are otherwise reinforcing the point that you can't just bring whatever equipment you want to the office, as the parent poster claimed.

I don't know for GP, but UFCS functions just litter the auto-completion tab for me. It's also not always readable.
You're kind of like me, I simply do not enjoy doing any sort of work in a "buzzed" state so I never day drink at all. Not once have I been working on something in the middle of the day and thought "a beer would make this better" because I find the state to be distracting and the opposite of what coffee does for me in terms of motivation and focus. I spent years in co-working spaces with beer on tap and simply didn't indulge, it's not a will power thing or discipline I just don't want it. I'm not an alcohol hater either I'll still "go wild" with friends once in a while at a bar or club to make myself extroverted.
They expect you to comply, or be left out.
I did almost the exact same thing in the last year. (2 days a week)

For me it came from handing in my 2 weeks notice to take some time off from a company I worked for for over 5 years at the time, and then being offered a schedule of my choosing instead. I didn’t even know it was an option, else I would have just asked instead of quitting.

So if you’ve been there a while, and can afford it, I’d suggest you ask your current employer.
Lukashenko and Putin enjoy widespread support. Belarus has essentially zero poverty and zero unemployment. He has been in power for 27 years. Does popular support justify tyranny, be it from COVID lockdown or to preserve a dictatorship?

What has changed in the last year to prompt these protests against him anyway?

The obvious answer is nothing, that the agitation is stirred up by the West, perhaps since he didn't bend the knee and agree to COVID lockdowns despite being offered $940 million:

https://eng.belta.by/president/view/belarus-president-unwill...

Meanwhile, lockdown in the West has clearly failed - Sweden and Ukraine, with weak or no lockdowns, have a lower per-capita deathtoll than countries that did lockdown: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...

And deaths are only up 6% YoY in Sweden and Ukraine, basically in line with the aging of the population and the effects of a once-a-decade flu variant (similar in mortality to Swine Flu wave in 2009).

The West is trying to start another color revolution in Belarus, as they did in Ukraine, where the US Government officials were on the street handing out sandwiches to protestors.

https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2013/1213/Russia-crie...

Is Ukraine better off since their revolution? Yes, I think so (I live here). Would Belarus be better off without Lukashenko? Possibly. However, since 2014, several million Ukrainians have fled the country to work in the EU, and a large chunk of territory has been lost.

I'm suggest that there are layers of deception and propaganda at work here that we, as intelligent IT personnel, should be aware of if we want to comment on these articles.
Decades back, Omni Magazine talked to biologists about what dinosaurs could have evolved to if it hadn't been for the meteor. They seemed to have assumed the smart ones would have all been human sized.
Cheap trick to maintain interest.

Done well, it's actually ok: you read the article looking for that last breadcrumb from the headline, and find it in the last paragraph with a sort of 'a-ha!' moment.

Here it's done badly, with some vague handwaving about how ad spend might go to Fedex for free returns.

As a consumer, if I were given a choice between intrusive cross-site tracking and free returns, the choice is completely obvious.

- RPI, and GPOS like Linux is a poor fit for a minimal battery-powered display like this.
- This uses an ESP32
- Re size: Depends entirely on the use. 4.2" is fine for some purposes.
- The color displays have a much slower refresh rate than monochrome, and (IIRC) can't do partial refresh.
Also, GPLv3 allows linking to AGPLv3 code; the AGPLv3, in the eyes of some, is a EULA.
Things like this can lie on a spectrum.

That said, Lord of the Rings has a lot more traditional things like elves and fairies and wizards, and a lot more "pure" magic. They are also completely lacking much of technology from today or even the time it was created... no telephones or automobiles, for instance. (Star Wars has things that are more advanced versions of these)

I'm not familiar with Dota, but I'd guess that like other games whatever interface elements a player has to click are always in the same place and they're probably already having their hand on the mouse so know exactly where the cursor is.

Now compare this with an usual "desktop session", where you may have multiple windows which aren't always in the exact same place, the cursor moves around, maybe even hidden because you've been typing, etc. Now you have to spend some extra time to 1. locate the cursor, 2. locate the button to click, 3. move the mouse over. It will probably not be slow but it clearly takes you out of the flow compared to keeping your hands where they were and knowing that whatever your shortcut you have to press will do what you expect.

"and Apple has deliberately framed the question such that almost no-one will say yes" ... "We could spend a lot of time arguing about the rights and wrongs of privacy and Apple’s framing and steering and use of its market dominance"

Nice demonstration of apophasis there.

Regardless, how else should they frame it? The question seems incredibly concise and matter of fact. Indeed, the question simply claims that it will "ask" the app not to track, which seems pretty broad and permissive.
There are tons of cellular network antennas hidden atop buildings in regular urban environments. Thankfully, in the current paradigm, telcos pay rent to put down these antennas and occupy the space.
It's hilarious. If this technology existed 50 years ago you can be sure they'd be filtering out any homosexual content. "We must protect the children from filth" after all. Good old nanny state.

For reasons that are unclear, a lot of roundabouts in the U.S. are so small that its nearly impossible for two vehicles to be in the roundabout at the same time.

Which makes them basically useless, and difficult navigate for e.g. vehicles with trailers--you end up running dragging the trailer over the center or something.
Moral Costs of Chicken vs. Beef
I found a nice solution to this with an MMO mouse. I have a Logitech G600 with 12 keys on the side and I mapped them to my most common operations like opening and closing tabs or moving between workspaces.
I've always been Mr Sustrik's fan, but this has a special place in my heart.

I highly recommend reading the "What is structured concurrency?" section with understanding. I think this is a big deal.

Why?

Let's start from another angle. Have you ever seen `pthread_cancel` manpage? Or "POSIX.1 Cancellation points"? This is an utter mess!

More than that, _any_ framework I've seen that allows to "kill" a coroutine (goroutine, thread, actor) in the end reproduces this "pthread_cancel" drama.

Basically, thread cancellation seems to be an unsolved computer science problem.

Mr Sustrik in "structured concurrency" makes one easy assumption, which in practice is sensible. It's not academic proposal. It's totally useable. The programmer must understand it and use it properly, but this is a totally workable constraint - that is:
- the thread must exit before its parent dies.

This small thing seems to be making all the differnce.

Anyhow. If you ever wondered why killing threads is a mess, libdill proposes a solution.
