I'm a TreeStyleTab user in Firefox with always >200 Tabs open. But I never got the idea of Tabs in Explorer (or Finder for that matter).

When I use multiple Explorer Views, most of the time I do it, to interact between them. This is not the case for websites.

So for drag and drop interactions, two windows always beat the drag, hover over the other tab until it catches my intend to switch to this tab, and drop it there workflow.

The same goes for copy and paste. Ctrl+c, alt+tab, ctrl+v. I'm sure there is a corresponding command to cycle through the tabs, but alt+tab is deep muscle memory, that it beats this command always.
Well well well. Looks like all my fears have been fully realized. Please tell me more about how unrootable devices are for my own good.

The Corona Warn App won’t give you a warning unless you’ve spent a minimum amount of time next to that person. In Germany, patients often spend only very few minutes near the doctors themselves. That may explain the lack of warnings.
Tabs are great for saving screen real estate. Finder windows are relatively small and, with large screens, the need to cram two or more folders into the same window ceases to exist. It’s easier to remember the window to the right is my docs folder and the one to the left is the downloads one.
I think availability and price are the most important factors for the consumer market. If AMD can deliver a lot of chips with lower prices and same performance they might take a larger part of the market.

I’d be super curious what countries of the world aren’t former “colonies”. The dominant ethnic group in China overtook other ethnic groups (and their land). Same with the Vietnamese (booted Cambodia out of the Mekong Delta). Japanese were not the dominant ethnic group on many of their islands.

The whole world is a series of winners and losers when it comes to territory. Seems odd to just focus on the “colonizers” of the past 200 years and ignore the rest.

It is more on the contrary. The registry is one of the most well-thought features of Windows.

Also there is nothing like "bloat". No process needs too loop around or smth like that, so there is literally no way to have a forgotten registry item slowing down your PC.

And last but not least: What are the alternatives? .plist config files like with Apple, scattering around the system?
Financing large studies costs a lot of money, an Ivermectin is out of patent so the company conducting the tests wouldn't recover the costs. Therefore, no "gold standard" (large scale, placebo controlled, double blind, etc.) studies of one of the most promising drugs against COVID. And then the objections you hear about Ivermectin is that sure, there are studies, but there are no gold standard studies, therefore there is "no evidence" it works.

I have been searching for a technology like this for a long time. I have several specific features I’m searching for in a technology like this, and I’m curious how many of these features Utopia supports.

- Extendable component library and property panel so it can support custom component libraries and styling systems

- Native integration with vscode (maybe as an extension)

- Tailwind style editor and theme ui style editor
- Full TypeScript support
Quite arguably, we do - such a driver would be a "compiler". Most compilers do some really wild things to reshape your code to take (some) advantage of new processor features.

There's a huge amount of "brain offloading" that's deferred to the compiler guys, and in a ton of ways, that's the point of having a driver as well; they adapt generic commands like "write a file to disk" to work for you on any kind of disk; compilers adapt your C (or whatever) code to work on e.g. any of the current intel chips of the last N years (within which there are quite a few breaking incompatibilities; I've had code compiled for a really particular i7 CPU actually not work on a different one, because it was taking advantage of new instructions only available on that particular chip - when I reconfigured my compiler to hit a wider compatibility target, the issue went away.

So yeah - there's a huge amount of knowledge "hidden away" there.

It looks like: `curl <url> | jq .tag_name` Note: curl & jq are independent programs (as long as `curl` produce json text with tag_name in each, the command works, no matter other changes).

If ConvertFrom-Json & Select-Object were not builtin, how much information about each other would they need to cooperate? Can an unrelated change in ConvertFrom-Json's output break corresponding Select-Object command? How much are they intertangled?

Read up on how the contact tracing apps work. They do not upload your data to the cloud. Phones broadcast a rolling random identifier, other phones collect received identifiers, and only on confirmed infection does the person's phone upload its last two weeks of broadcast IDs to the cloud, where other phones can grab them and cross-check.

Having someone's phone number allows you (via the phone company) to trace their location at any time, forever. That is much worse.
We have something called Cadet College here in Bangladesh (grade 7-12), and British public schools were I think the primary inspiration behind them (actually first few principals were all British). It was just as brutal as you say, if not more.

But the attitude of "ex-cadets" here is that of extreme pride, many consider it to be the best 6 years of their life. And this feeling is almost universal.

I have now several times come across criticism of British public schools by their own alumni, I wonder why there's so much difference in attitude.

This is very inconsiderate.

For example, depending on your cell phone plan, data transfer may incur high costs, especially when roaming etc. Therefore, owners of cell phones may be interested in limiting it to the absolute minimum.

As I see it, this consideration by itself already should have prevented this automatic installation.
> TL;DR: always think of the upper left pixel's position as (0.5, 0.5).

The position of the center of the pixel. That pixel goes from (0,0) to (1,1) and therefore the center is (0.5,0.5).

The image area goes from the upper left corner of the upper left pixel to the lower right corner of the lower right pixel.

The centers are shifted by half of a pixel versus a grid starting at 0 and ending at N-1.

When drawing a line you need to hit the center of the pixel you want to fill.
Its not that different then generational wealth, we have families in the west that have built up wealth for centuries. But imaging how the west is sliding faster and faster into neo feudalism having to life as a serf forever does make it seem dystopian.

False equivalence.
I think the low adoption is because it's hard to explain. No one on my street, none of the most vulnerable people would understand your paragraph.

No wonder it's not being adopted by those who should be adopting it, but just being used by vigilant young tech savvy and already covid safe people.

So not only are only a small number of people using it, these people are least likely to make a difference using it.
FYI: Google can remotely install/delete/alter any app on your phone without your notice if you have GAPPS installed, and they removed the option to disable it back in 2.* days.

This is very rampant in India. Operators keep pushing crapware like Linkedin app, clash of kings, etc for money from app vendors.
The philosophy part reminds me of `jq` with its functional style processing:

1. parse a json value from stdin and set it as the initial result

2. for each function, apply the function to the result, and set the output as the result for the next function.

3. The final result is pretty printed on stdout.

a government installing a software without notice or consent onto their population's devices is not something a healthy functioning democracy does, it's what a psychotic paranoid despot does. if the Mass Gov truly wants to minimize harm this is the opposite of what needs to be done. all this will do is drive conspiracy theories and deepen a very legitimate mistrust in the institutions that plague the USA (which helped give rise to people like donald trump)
>Stating that the UI consistency issues are due to backwards compatibility is stretching the truth to the point of outright deception.

I am not familiar with Windows APIs but I can see this be the truth if MS made it possible for developers to plug inside this dialogs, like a printer driver would plug soem GUI changes in the panels , changing this would break a lot of devices.
My parents are boomers on the cusp of being silents, themselves, and there's definitely some difference between what they percieve and the younger generations. It's hard to say how far back it all goes, really - while the depression and war years were certainly influential in making the culture that overshadowed the rest of the 20th century, stories of harsh discipline are age-old. Perhaps what makes it defining is just the fact that it occurred as a near-universal in the same way that the current pandemic did, and the result was a postwar generation with very sharp differences in attitude.

I was rewatching shows from 1990 and so on lately. One of surprising observations was that "tough love" came up multiple times, always as positive.

You are explicitly allowing to install updates in phone's settings. It is made painfully clear.

The question here is about what mechanism Google used to install an app, can it be disabled, and what other kind of apps Google is capable of installing silently on the devices?

Thermal Time Hypothesis
As I go into my fifth decade most of the third is fuzzy so this seems believable.
The whole protocol was designed very cleverly from the start to avoid all the privacy blocks that might inhibit people from using it [1], because the main drawback in this is that it's completely useless unless you have a critical mass of users that actually use it.

It is very difficult to explain to people that are not curious about the technology and all they hear is 'tracing = tracking = no privacy'.

I imagine this is why this app has been silently pushed, but in my mind just having it available and active on phones does not help you that much if the same users are also not aware and actively reporting their infections. So you will have a very small group that consciously install it and when they get infected they report; a lot larger group will get a notification that they have been close to an infected individual. I suppose they hope that by showing those notifications then people that subsequently get tested positive will be curious enough to find out how they should report in, etc. It's risky especially seeing this backlash about silent installations...

I'm not sure there is a general introduction, because forecasting in retail sales is extremely dependent on how the forecasts are used, and there are many schools of thought about that.

There's the classic "inspired from manufacturing" approach where you have production targets for your factory, and your planning tool decides how much to purchase from suppliers, and when. Transposed to retail sales, you obviously don't have production targets, so you use forecasting (usually average or median forecasts, daily or weekly), inflate the amounts a bit for "safety stock", and pretend that the forecasts are the targets. You'll usually notice this is the case if the retailer has a Forecasting department that is separate from its Purchasing department, and forecasts are judged on a metric that compares them to actual values (rather than on the outcomes of the decisions made based on them).

Once you allow your forecast method to return something other than time series, you can adapt it to the actual supply chain, and you have a lot more variety depending on how purchasing (and pricing!) decisions are made.

For instance, if you order every week from a given supplier, you instead want to forecast the total sales over the coming week, given as a probability distribution ("there is a P% chance of selling more than Q units). You can then use the actual dollar costs of not having enough units (the margin of a single sale) and of having too many units (storage, carrying and opportunity costs). This lets you optimize dollars instead of how close the forecast was to an actual observation.

There are many levers that can be driven by forecasts, such as raising prices if there isn't enough inventory to serve the demand before the supplier's next delivery, or lowering prices to make room in a warehouse for higher-margin products, or selecting which product appears on the front page of your e-commerce website or in the default position of a configurator drop-down.

There are also limitations, usually around data availability. I would say most companies _that can pay for forecasting development_ have an extensive history of sales data. However, you likely also need information about suppliers (how long do they take to deliver?), about historical stock levels (this product sold zero units over an entire month, was it because it was out-of-stock, or is this a relevant signal for our forecasts?), about price changes and promotional events (usually to explain a sudden jump in sales), and so on. These are not always available. And then, there are entire industries (such as fashion) where individual products never have more than a few months of historical data, because there's a new collection coming out every season.

If you're interested, my employer is producing a "Supply Chain Lectures" series on YouTube which deals with forecasts among other things (but really, the idea is to look at supply chains as a whole, instead of just forecasting): https://www.lokad.com/lectures

Edit: Surely we can come up with a more approachable explanation for less technical folks, though? Here's an attempt:

"Contact tracing respects your privacy and does not send your location to the cloud.

Instead, your phone makes up a new random name every 15 minutes and broadcasts it to nearby phones. It remembers the last two weeks of names it used, as well as the last two weeks of names it heard from other phones.

When someone catches COVID-19, they register it in the app. Their phone then uploads the last two weeks' worth of names it used to the cloud, where other phones can download the data. The names aren't connected to their identity, all they represent is someone who caught COVID-19.

If your phone finds a match between a name it has recently heard and the online database, it sends you a notification. After 2 weeks the data is erased, so you are only notified if you were near an infected person in the past 2 weeks.

Since the random names change every 15 minutes, nobody can track you or know that you are the same person as last time they saw your phone. The data is only stored locally, so after it is deleted two weeks later, there is no way to go back and recover it."

How's that?

Maybe most interesting for us in this forum many military schools still includes lots and lots of physical training. I guess that is a huge advantage they have.

Some other points:

- Military organizations do have some options that are out of reach for civilian schools today. Knowing you can risk

- humiliation in front of peers (20 something years ago I once forgot to close the window on our room before service and had to run in to fix it while 36 other guys "enjoyed some extra time for pushups". I still remember it.),

- a permanent record for sleeping or otherwise not paying attention,

- a fine and a night behind bars for not being sober or for not behaving

- or being thrown out

sets a standard.

- Also I guess it also becomes obvious during training that failure to learn the required skills might easily cost you and others their lives.
The factual basis of your assertion is absolutely true, but your attitude is unhelpful and defeatist.

There is a chasm between "a state actor throws an 0day at you" and "Google remotely installs an app on your phone". The latter is done at scale. The former is expensive, risky, and used relatively rarely.

If you're organizing a protest movement, it's totally reasonable to factor government 0days into your threat model. For more boring people, running GrapheneOS is a great way to reduce the attack surface they expose to the advertising and mass surveillance industrial complex.
