Rather than the browser sending a summary of your history, it calculates a cohort ID. That ID is sent to websites, and the website then has the job of associating IDs with interests.

So instead of building a profile on specific users, the website (or ad network) builds profiles on cohort IDs. Users can change IDs, or mask theirs altogether if they wish.

Ivermectin is absolutely an antiviral drug. It blocks cells' α/β nuclear import protein--also used by a great number of RNA-based viruses--while letting other nuclear import proteins function normally.

"The well-tolerated drug ivermectin may hold great potential for treatment of YFV [yellow fever virus] infections. Furthermore, structure-based optimization may result in analogues exerting potent activity against flaviviruses other than YFV." (2012)

the destruction of world war two was absolutely insane, especially on the eastern front.

for instance: Belarus lost a quarter of it's population
many villages and cities where utterly destroyed.
also, don't forget world war 1 (and the other conflicts sparked after, like Russian civil war, breakup of Austria Hungary, Greco Turkish war etc) was only 25 years prior..

> Also most of souther europe doesn't have the get rich quick mentality. They live by "dolce vita" - the good life. Nobody is gonna be bending over backwards here to become a millionaire anytime soon. They happily live with 20k€ a year and their families and Relationships.

Sometimes it seems that Northern Europeans think that the southern European is the noble savage of the developed world.

I'll speak for Italy, not having direct experience of other southern European countries. Taxes are very high, bureaucracy is omnipresent and openly hostile. A friend of mine once won a price for an invention, ~5K euros. The money was barely enough to register the company (not to pay for an office, just to register a company, a procedure that in the UK would cost 20£). The process took months. Salaries are much lower than in other European countries and people work longer hours, people of my age have been employed at-will for almost their whole careers. Unpaid overtime is the norm. Companies are small, do not provide chances to grow professionally and do not invest, productivity is low and unpaid overtime is often a means to compensate. At least once in everybody's life, your boss would come to you saying that there isn't enough money to pay your salary this month. Working hard simply doesn't matter, many software developers and translators and designers and whatnot earn as much as janitors. I don't come from southern Italy, where I suspect the situation is even worse.

In this context, you don't "happily" live with 20K euros per annum, you just have to accept that. And you have to live with your family because you can't afford otherwise. If you are lucky enough to get a government job or to retire early (which since the 70s have been the government's favourite ways of tackling unemployment), you may get a chance of enjoying this "dolce vita" of yours.
Never store two different types of information in the same table, even if the structure is identical. They may be identical today -- they won't be in two years time.

If you're unsure about this, ask yourself if your table has a column called 'type' or something similar. If it does, a big migration awaits you a year or two down the road, and you'll have a lot of pain between now and then.
I'm a mechanical engineer.

The version control software that we use (I'm most familiar with Windchill, and just a wee bit familiar with SolidWorks PDM) is dumb. It's a B2B market with fat margins that is ripe to be disrupted.

Typically in Windchill, a part has a part number, and can be checked out and checked in, iterated, and revised, in operations that are non-intuitive and difficult to reverse. If you ever wanted to build an assembly using older versions of current parts, the process to figure it out might take 100 clicks, or might not be possible depending on how your system administrator set things up.

Merging (in the style of git) is generally a completely foreign concept, and engineers generally avoid collaborating on a single part or assembly file for that reason. Dividing up the interior of a vehicle's engine bay, for example, is best done as separate assembly files that are only later brought together as a parent assembly. Communicating about the volumetric boundaries of these assemblies is complicated.

I'm often aware that I could be more productive and adaptable using a git repo (or similar) containing my parts, assemblies, and drawings than I currently am with Windchill's specialized system. Haven't ever seen it in the wild, though.
There aren't many significant downsides I know of, it's just really easy to accidentally make your game not deterministic.

You have to entirely isolate the game state from any sources of non-determinism. The latter can include: subtle CPU timing issues, GPU timing, other GPU artifacts, the system clock, timing from IO operations. If you want the state to be deterministic across machines (useful for debugging multiplayer stuff) then you also need to include floating point operations (some chips behave differently on some boundary cases, I think) as well as some graphics operations (thinks like texture operations and rounding are always bitwise identical across GPUs).

If any bit of non-determinism sneaks in from one of these, it will wander through and pollute any other operations and data that depend on it. Flushing out non-determinism bugs can almost feel as difficult as debugging a non-deterministic engine.

I was at EA when the Madden team refactored the engine to be deterministic. It took a full cycle of bug hunting, but it was marvelous once it got there. QA could just send over a replay file and any dev could simply load up the replay and repro the bugs. In fact, the user-facing replay system in the game ("Let's watch that play again in slow mo!") was simply restarting the engine and then replaying the user inputs deterministically to resimulate the whole game again.

no one is deleteing anything...they are simply learning, as science does, and noting that prior knowledge was incorrect.

That is fundamentally different from people screaming without evidence. A broken clock is right twice a day, but it is not an accurate clock at any point.
If you don't know how a calculation is performed, depending on what you're doing, there's between a chance and a good chance you'll look at an error and not know it. Everything from bugs to typos to just using the wrong method for the job can cause you grief, and having an idea of what's going on makes it far easier to spot.

I have been on both sides of that, and far prefer to know what I'm doing.

> why do so many humans get painful RSI trauma when they try to use it?

Maybe they should use a different way of mapping keys if the default causes them trouble? Plenty of people do. Emacs has a very popular implementation of vi for example. It's up to the user, you don't need to accept somebody else's choice in this kind of software.

> How many humans can code in something as clunky as EmacsLISP?

People also code in JavaScript and somehow find that acceptable. Anything can be made to work. For what it's worth, elisp has pretty neat libraries and tooling these days (and due to things like magit breaking out UI components into reusable libraries writing interactive Emacs applications is becoming ever easier).

I've been using Emacs for more than a quarter century.

My email client is VM, written in Emacs Lisp. I've used it to read mail for almost as long as I've used Emacs. Although I run Emacs in text-only mode, VM (and ancillary tools, like Personality Crisis and mairix)

* does a great of job displaying HTML messages. For the very few that it doesn't, one keystroke sends the message to my web browser.

* sends URLs I select (all from the keyboard) to the web browser

* opens images and attachments

* auto-adjusts the From: line of outgoing messages depending on the recipient

* archives messages to various folders using various criteria

* search my archived mail going back a quarter century at lightning speed

Of course, I can write Emacs Lisp code of my own to extend any or all of the above.

How would you prove ownership of an SSID otherwise?
The existence of that database under the control of a surveillance company is the problem. If Google published the dataset so that many others could use it freely, then they would have an argument that they're just promulgating public data. However, by keeping it to themselves and forcing queries to go through Google (with a bunch of fine print attached), they're agglomerating personal data for their own private purpose.

But also now you have to try and fix up five rando laptops that you got off ebay or friends. Who knows what the state of the batteries, screens, keyboards are.

The pi400 kit is $100. Flash five cards and you are done. If you scavange anything it's monitors, there is a whole aisle old flatscreens at my local goodwill, you could find decent enough ones for under $20 apiece. Alternatively any local techish business probably has a closet of monitors they would happily give away just to get them out of the building.
> Just as I would use Vim for side projects as well as professional jobs, I would expect my CAD tool to work just as well for building a toy for fun as it would for a complex project.

Not picking on the specific editor there, but that's a high skill tool we're talking about which is full of repeated memory effort (or "muscle memory"), with layers in it.

The reference to Jai in this context is probably equivalent, since it is a programmer's tool for a programmer's need to automate/repeat the same operation.

The best thing in this whole article is that as more programmers work on problems which require CAD, the more likely they are to solve the problems they run into, but in ways that works for them directly (think Linus, git and emails).

The second part was always the hardest (the "make") at the toy project level.

In the bay area, the death of TechShop is unfortunate though, where getting a CNC machine time (& my python madness with printf of g-code) meant things went from patterns to real.

Like, I'd love a 3-d equivalent to graphviz's dot for representing a 3-d scene in a minimal way for navigation through it, but not for actual manufacture (though things like SPICE went both ways in the end for me).
They've made it so you basically can't keep non Chrome store extensions installed on Windows. At least not without a nag every day.
I'm also curious how much info Google will choose to expose to Floc on their various sites. Within Gmail, for example, they could be very generous to other advertisers, or not. They already have the info, so I assume they could only expose a cohort interest of "email" if they wanted to.

The floc repo currently says "The algorithms might be based on the URLs of the visited sites, on the content of those pages, or other factors." Which is not super helpful. It seems like Google could fairly easily hide info from Floc since they own both sides.

I'm not making any judgement on the practice itself, however, for the purposes of tracking, I suspect they use the BSSID

If we're being a little reductive, it's an optimized way to do inline styles for component based architectures, because it turns out inline-styles are actually a pretty good way to style re-usable components. I think that's the major practical difference that might prompt such a philosophy change.

In the more traditional method, you would style a <button> element in a CSS file and never think about it again, while it inevitably becomes part of the CSS nest. If you wanted to use tailwind for a normal non-component based site you'd have to individually style every single button again and again, as there's no cascading and no globally applied styles. I wouldn't use tailwind in that cirucmstance.

But because it's more likely you're using vue/react and your buttons are actually defined as a <Button> component that you re-use, you can write the styles directly on the component where it's used, co-locating the code and making maintenance a bit easier in the process.

Or repeat those classes in each cell. Is there a performance, memory etc impact?

One segment that has disappeared entirely, but which was excellent for taking notes, was the 7-9" netbook.

Speaking as someone who is completely useless at integrals except for the basic undergrad-level tricks, yes, there is.

Rewriting formulas in different forms can allow you to see analogies between them, allowing you to prove "mini-theorems", which you can use to make computations more efficient or to adapt slightly different mathematical tools to your problem.

Those things happen frequently even if you are a "just" a developer, (not necessarily with integrals/real analysis, for example combinatorics tricks are extremely common), but it's definitely a nice tool to have.
