A bubble is an objectively irrational shared belief in a better potential future …
No, bubbles in the world of economics are inherently bad, ponzi schemes concocted by charlatans.
I'm really interested in what happened. because Ubuntu isn't the best distro to choose when you have cutting/bleeding edge hardware.

I often wonder if delays like this should also be treated as some kind of safety issue.

Somehow we've decided that any loss of life or injury via a crash is unacceptable. Yet we treat delays (both airline and traffic) that cost millions of human life hours as barely newsworthy.

Would it be better if we considered policies in terms of human life hours saved rather than human lives? Is that already being done?
I think it’s unlikely that’s it for someone seriously ill for an extended period.
They remind me of the safety labels on every day items containing often apparently ridiculously obvious warnings. Like electrical shock warnings on extension chords, or warnings to not put a ladder on a slippery surface.

For non US based individuals encountering these for the first time, they often were their first encounter with how different the US legal system really was/is from the rest of the world.
So you believe enough to treat the people who work for you like garbage, make them grovel for a paycheck, if you even pay them, destroy communities with cut throat ambition and turn traitor on people who fought for you and helped you along the way. But you don't believe enough to keep people from robbing your own store or burning down your city or weaponizing the flu to commit horrible worldwide mass murder. Delusions by some of the worst people in the world today.
Yeah the app and the api were amazing. I guess apple extended the api shutdown but man, buying it and shutting it down really really pisses me off.
Getting more fragile by the day.

An airline that can’t fly planes due to a third-parties weather app. (Which, for all we know, is dependent on other third-party apps.)

These problems will grow exponentially.

Just wait until Company A goes offline because it relies on Company B, which goes offline due to Company C, which (and this is where the fun begins...) goes offline because of Company A.
They are called grandparents and you don’t need to be super-rich to have them in your family, just to not be an a__hole to your parents.
I hope they do decide to add the HTTP header to disable FLoC by default, unless site admins specifically opt in. From the discussion I've seen, it hasn't been decided for sure yet.

I never understand people's expectations of companies during stuff like this.

There are people complaining that they can't get through to customer service on their phone. Like, do they expect them to always have enough customer service capacity for when every single customer in the world has reason to call them? That'd be insane.

Flight cancelations are always a risk when flying. You need to always expect that you'll potentially have to be stuck somewhere for a night or two. If the airport floor doesn't suffice for you, fly airlines that have a track record of giving hotels for cancelations and have insurance/funds to cover a few nights if you aren't able to get a room from the airline.

This kind of stuff is unavoidable and just part of air travel. Be prepared, be patient.
Informing people again, WebAuthn is authentication only, and does not substitute for signing, and client encryption.

It's been nearly 10 years in making, went through multiple complete spec rewrites, and endless erratas.

And for that bicycle reinvention attempt with extra feature of captcha, and DRM, Google killed the keygen tag in Chrome.
It's been argued that hiding the network name can make you more of a target because it makes you stand out more than your seemingly more innocuous neighbors. That is unless you never connect any devices to your hidden AP.

Like being the only person on the block who blurs out their house on Google Maps or Apple Maps, it could backfire due to the Streisand Effect.
Full agreement.

Unfortunatly it is a story, that is set to repeat 3 times.

There is a similar tragedy of outdated documentation.

And then the final part of the trilogy is named "outdated and even misleading naming" (vars/functions).

In all cases, one should have same amount of trust as with weather forcast or politician's speech. Trusting 100% would be naive, but complete dismisall would be foolish as well.
Inside the bubble, this is just called "morale".

It's very visible as a phenomenon in gaming. What gets pitched in new games is not rules and assets, but a whole set of beliefs and values: there are games where you are spurred towards world conquest, and games where you are meant to relax and socialize. The value system is literally encoded into the play through those rules and assets. Therefore, game makers have a ready-made market wherever they can pitch people's beliefs back to them, like "I'm secretly the hero", or "playing longer makes me more powerful."

And then the negative side of that comes into play when the game pops someone's bubble: "that's unrealistic", "it doesn't let me play how I want", "that other player is using a cheap move" - and it gets really out of control in video gaming specifically when the hype is built on a promise of all possible worlds being contained within the game, or being patched in through updates. Star Citizen has been managing this sort of hype for years, and No Man's Sky had the player bubble popped but eventually came out the other end of it many, many updates later. Cyberpunk 2077 likewise had feverish hype followed by massive disappointment, though that story still has time to play out.

I often tell myself to reexamine my grip on things. If I hold an idea too tight, I'm sure to lose objectivity - I don't need a tight grip on anything, just the pragmatically useful one. And playing very difficult games has helped me loosen my grip, in fact; good strategy and techniques often result just from seeing the game as it "really" is and playing into that, and that's a useful life lesson.
Part of the trick is determining what the baseline risk levels are and what safeguards should be dispensed with. It's not binary "peace-time" vs. "war-time". It's about the baseline risk factors.

Aside from societal risk, there's individual risk too. When a society's mortality rate drops, it is appropriate to have more safeguards, and when it increases, it is appropriate to have fewer safeguards.

...and then there's also the systemic effects of a broader, more relaxed approach to funding. While distributing $50 million means you're getting high quality leads, if you're in charge of a $5 billion funding program (which the NIH did manage: https://covid19.nih.gov/funding), the net effect of opening up the flood gates is going to be very different. Even if you do a good job of distributing that money (and that is, in itself a HUGE challenge), you're going to be dealing with law suits and political challenges that you'd not deal with for a $50 million fund.

It may suck, but it's the reality of large systems.
Desktop -- an MBP that should have enough processing power. An option to disable animations would be ideal. But I was also just trying by doing without reading about the game at all so maybe not a huge priority (:
I personally find Amsterdam to be a bit lacking on that front. It often touts itself as being extremely multicultural, being >50% non-native (white) Dutch and having the most nationalities in one city.

And it's to an extent true, but most nationalities will have only 1-10 people. There's a few major ethnic groups like Moroccans and Turks comprising of much of the 'diversity', and I feel most groups live very segregated from each other. New-west is very Moroccan/Turkish, Bijlmer is very black, Zuid/Centrum is very white. Social groups don't really mix that much, honestly it's pretty embarrassing for a country with such a progressive an open-minded reputation, and for a city with an international reputation. There's a few mixed areas but by and large I don't feel a very multicultural vibe, it's much more segregated in my experience, particularly among the local population. In high-income expat circles you'll definitely find people from all over the world though.

Besides that I feel Dutch think in labels quite often and Amsterdam is a bit of a village, it's hard to be truly anonymous here. I run into people I know all the time. I miss the anonymity of being in a truly big city like New York or Shanghai, and generally I miss living abroad and being able to make-up a new identity for yourself.
Lots of government websites will tell you who owns a property.

Meanwhile, there's no open address book associating ssids to names or ssids to addresses either.
that has been addressed in the quicklinks [1] and the backlinks [2] plugin, which are an absolute bliss

The first one has a really simple solution just ask an initial startup which keyboard layout do you want like most modern Ides
Tom green was even ahead of them. Who can forget the air brushed lesbians on his dads car, his dad deciding to take the bus to his government job, and then Tom trying to pick his dad up at the bus stop in the car.
Nitpick: in most countries, you cannot be 'found' innocent, you are presumed to be innocent and can only be found to be 'not guilty' or 'guilty.'
Translucency? You mean like the Aero Glass visual language that has been part of the Windows design book since Vista? Rounded window corners like XP? Come on. The worst you can say is this redesign is nothing new for Windows. This idea that they're always copying macOS is as silly as it is persistent.
You may notice some publications pick and choose who they’ll publish names of, and that can be a reason why: if they publish the name, it’s because they’ll be following the case and publishing its outcome, while if they don’t, it’s because they don’t intend to do so.
That's an actuarial solution. Not without merit, but IIUC the thinking is the public will not abide a crash where the root cause traces to "yeah it was a little unsafe, but think of the time lost if we'd delayed a day!"
I do understand where you're coming from, but I guess I see it differently - For e.g. High DPI directly impacts UX for me as I can run older applications at 150% without squinting at the tiny icons. Security is part of UX for me, etc.
“ there's no scientific basis”

Theres no scientific basis for anything until a proper study is done. Doesn't mean it isn't true. And consider that estimates are as high as 50% of scientific papers’ results are false (especially in bio).

N.B.1: I'm a scientist in a government lab

N.B. 2: I’m not impugning science, just fellow scientists.
In a compiled language, this is true for a local variable in general, it costs nothing because the compiler uses a register for it (or at worst spill it on stack but the stack frame size is reserved once for all stack allocated variables when the function is called).

The story is different, if the variable is captured by a closure/lambda, the current stack frame or part of it may be allocated on heap, leading to perf issues.

We already have plenty of OSS software.

Signal can be a perfect replacement for Whatsapp. If the EU want to spend money on maintaining, improving and deploying Signal, that'd be great.

People still won't use it, though.

It's too late. If Europe wants a slice of the market they need to make business as frictionless as possible like the USA did in the past - that will bring capital, eventually.

I think Europe has bigger problems to care about though.
> Imagine a foreign adversary attacking flights in midair.

It would suck to have IT systems intentionally disrupted but I don't think even modern airliners can plausibly fall out of the sky even if they suddenly lose contact with all ground based systems.

I think there are procedures in place even if air-traffic control systems, comms or GPS fail. Last time I checked, pilots can still fly the plane with their eyeballs, on-board radar, compass and ground speed. In fact, I recently saw an article where some senior safety pilot was concerned that with all the nifty automation, today's pilots aren't getting enough practice doing, you know, actual flying of the airplane.
The CDC’s Dr. Thornburg and Josh Denny, chief executive of the NIH’s All of Us program and an author of the latest study, both said they don’t plan to search blood samples earlier than December 2019, given how few they have found back then. “We’ve seen a very low rate of positivity in this time period,” [1]

[1]https://www.wsj.com/articles/covid-19-virus-ranged-from-illi...

Why not sample earlier blood and see how far back COVID originated.
Why would tech companies be more rational at pricing labor than other companies?

Because that's what it is - if your entire fleet is going down and you could have spent more to hire engineers, you just are irrational at pricing the value of engineering labor.
>Chickens used for eggs live in tiny cages that fit themselves only. It's disgusting.

In the EU, that only applies to code 3 eggs, which are already outlawed in many EU member states:

I have seen scientific evidence that Vit D supplimenting helps. In Spain its prescribed if you get covid.
re: "unless you are deficient": you supliment to ensure you arent deficient, you are foolish to risk zinc or Vit D deficiency if you know you have covid. If you plan a fews days in bed you are (usually) not going to get much sun.
It's foolish to risk deficiency of any vitamin while ill.

I will never go back being that naive again, there are no news of consequence, only propaganda.
I wonder if they've drawn inspiration from SwiftUI?
A first look at Windows 11
Great work on this and looks interesting at first glance and very happy to see this open source.

Doesn't really look ready or supported out of the box for M1 Macbooks, unsurprisingly. Probably going to install this on my other machine to try it out instead.
> Why would it get in the way?

How do plugins work on iOS?
Can you explain further what you mean by header-style comments?

I'm having trouble drawing
up a distinct example.
We need to reframe the incentives to reframe our security posture.
With a public API it's important to distinguish "currently true from reading the code" and "promised to stay true through minor updates". What comments are useful for that
If it makes you feel better more and more of this gets outsourced to spy and mercenary companies like Palantir, Facebook, Google and Blackwater.
Of course there were mal actors but there's a clear difference between the level of support and involvement. Stalin and Maos policies lead to the deaths of tens of millions of people.

My main point with all of this is to put into context how horrifying the threat of the spread of Communism was. I think the actions taken at the time by the CIA need to be viewed through this lens.

$500 for vomit-colored plaid pajama pants? Lol.

Also, he is 50. Not like he's elderly and dying. For his own sake I think everyone hopes he will never do more stunts of course. But not sure how realistic that is.
Seems like another ransomware event.
"Man with a swimming pool full of money at his house reaffirms his belief that he does in fact literally own the lives of the people he employs"
This is why Italy got absolutely hammered quite early on. They were very unlucky to get hit by the mother of all super spreader events.

Meanwhile it looks like some other countries like France had a few cases before then, but it died out.
Confirmation bias perhaps?
Yet every other airline is up and running, having (presumably) spent roughly the same on engineers.

It’s always easy in hindsight to say they should have spent more, but opportunity cost is very real, and margins are very slim.
Dang, no update for 2+ hours. Not a good look. I expect this from a GCP/AWS status page but that’s about it.
I generally agree with you and recognize that I'm coming at this from a somewhat niche perspective.

I think the thing that frustrates me the most is that Apple has repeatedly failed to fix the performance and usability issues related to file management that have plagued iOS/iPad OS since the feature was introduced. Fixing the poor performance + increasing versatility of the file manager (or allowing 3rd party file managers like Android) would massively improve the editing workflow on iPads, and for me, would probably push it into the 'good enough' tier of performance that might lead me to leave my MacBook at home when editing video on the road.
Jackass thrived in an era when TV networks had the power to decide what was cool and who was famous. By 2008, thanks in part due to smart phones, all of that began to change in favor of decentralized, a la carte entertainment such as youtube, live streaming, twitter, vine, etc. This meant faster careers and more lucrative payoffs, but also much more competition. AFIK, none of the Jackass stuntmen made much money, rather Viacom did, but YouTube and Instagram stars of today are reaping tons of ad and product placement revenue.
That and the other end of the spectrum, as well. Will they omit names from minor stories where a person might have just done/said something embarrassing, controversial, or hateful, but not illegal. Or possibly illegal, but not charged/cited/arrested?

All the recent news stories on various "Karen" interactions come to mind.
Most people who use a separate Emacs-based email client seem to use mu4e, Wanderlust, notmuch, or even gnus. It's entirely possible any or all are superior to VM; I use the latter because I'm comfortable with it and it does everything I need.
To me this editor gets it right in the sense that we don’t need to get rid of code as the “nocode” movement is trying. Instead we need to make coding more enjoyable and figure out ways to make it more interactive.

One specific thing Utopia addresses to me is the need for the code and the actual thing to be treated more as one single interactable component and not two separate things.

Instead we're treating the thing as a one-way compile step. There's no way to sync the DevTools in-memory changes we make to the DOM with the actual code.

The fact that Utopia allows the two things to be treated as one is a huge step towards making webdev more enjoyable.

And they’re following good steps… SwiftUI’s editor is very similar in this regard. Using the code as the main thing but having all kinds of interactable components around it that make writing code simpler with cool visual autocomplete widgets & visual aids.

Before with direct DOM changes building something like this was impossible but now with the React paradigm is seems natural to have this sync between code and visuals.

Kudos to the team for pulling this off.
I'm an old-timer, having used emacs for 41 (!) years. I started in a LISP class at MIT, but I was always a UNIX-lover so ended up using Gosling's UNIX emacs throughout the 1980's, and when that ended I borrowed gosmacs.el and wrote a short .emacs to kept Gosling's emacs alive as Richard Stallman descended further and further into madness, breaking CTRL-h and trying to create thousands of functions keys ...

I have never done "chording". What is that?

I don't need an editor with more than about 100 function keys (CRTL-[a-z], CTRL-[A-Z], ESC-[a-z], ESC-[A-Z]).

I absolutely hate 'info' and in the age of manpages and webpages it is an embarrassment to emacs.

I absolutely love ESC-j (fill-region) for squeezing text into 77 columns, and ESC-x indent-region for unifying my coding style. Modern shells understand at least 20 emacs key-bindings (CTRL-e, CTRL-a, CTRL-k, CTRL-b, CTRL-f, CTRL-d, etc.) and so does the Chrome browser, apparently.

Mostly these days I am turning off modes written by pedants who want to 'force' me to do things I don't want to do. ESC-x text-mode works just fine for that.
Not having enough human capacity for a random event is reasonable enough, but between their app and their website there should be a smooth, automated, and easy way for customers to rebook or get their money back to book with another airline. That shouldn't require going through a person, especially if there are not enough people available.
I feel like you're getting bogged down on the literal code and missing the point of a hypothetical example.

>But I don't have your exact address.

You also don't have my ssid.

You do have my username. I am fairly confident that you could connect my username to my real name with some minor searching. From there, plenty of tax records, property records, and other important interesting information is just a few clicks away.

I am not arguing that we should or should not be sharing ssids. I am merely wondering why the OP is somehow worried about strangers across the globe somehow going from a list of random ssids to anything more interesting than that.

A list of names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, or other publicly available information (leaked or otherwise) is far more worrisome than a list of ssids.
It's a browser based tool. I'm not sure what you mean by "Doesn't really look ready or supported out of the box for M1 Macbooks". JavaScript cannot target chip architectures, AFAIK.
European bureaucracy is deadlier for businesses than cobra's venom.
Ignoring the pedantry elsewhere, then sure this comment explains what you are doing.

The contention is whether it is necessary or common enough to be assumed. In most places this would be self evident and should be avoided to reduce mental load, however I have seen and done exactly this many times - in distrubuted or embedded systems where the control is neither synchronous or co-located (ie, coming in from interrupts / messages). In such places there may even be call for more description, however presuming the context is appropriate this could be correct.

I would imagine a game with a react redux style state engine might result in a comment like this as well.
I think the problem is that they don't follow up. That's the policy that is needed.
People in shock don't think about the wider issues.

"I never understand people's expectations of other people's expectations..." Well, I guess I feel I understand that too.

"Be prepared, be patient..." Good advice, so is "don't have a global outage" but do people follow it? Nooooo
Set the AI to None for both players in the settings, that should do it.

I believe Markor[0] might satisfy your needs of having a TODO.txt editor that has no sync capabilities. I have to use in combination with Dropsync[1] to sync my notes.

Some of these seem anachronistic; for example, there are couple for (and one against!) Discord. According to Wikipedia, Discord was released in 2015, which seems long after peak 88x31 GIF.
