I am more familiar with Provence and the West coast of Italy. My experience there is that the weather is quite dry. Particularly compared to London. Now that I think about it there might be something akin to katabatic winds because of the mountains nearby, bringing in drier air from the land.

I’ve been to Barcelona and Madrid a couple of time but not enough to get an opinion (though I vividly remember being roasted to death in Granada).

Humidity being lower in central Spain makes sense though, as it is higher in altitude and further from the sea.

> more than London, I am not kidding

I can believe that. It actually does not rain that much in London. But humidity is a still a problem, because the sea is very close and there is no continental mass from where dry air could come from.
Inditex (Zara) is a juggernaut compared with Gap or Primark. The differences in scale of operations, targeting, and branding are massive. It is like comparing AWS with Cloudera.
I don't buy clothes at Muji but every time I've needed some of the home stuff from the Angel one it's been packed.
There’s a whole gradient between total absence of hope and huge opportunity for committing a crime.

Not all criminals are completely hopeless and not all situations are lacking the opportunity to commit a crime.

If you are operating within the context of high opportunity for crime then reducing that opportunity for yourself will just drive the crime away from you. It doesn’t matter how hopeless the criminals are.
Btw, I'm almost certain that the first code example of expecting the command line arguments as UTF-8 strings won't work on Windows, instead the argument strings will be 8-bit-ASCII encoded with the current system code page. The only way I got this working reliably with the standard main() entry point was to call the Win32 function GetCommandLineW() and then split into args and convert to UTF-8 myself.
i bow before thee my lord!
OT: Why doesn't Chromium have MathML support? It seems like the kind of feature a browser engineer would actually enjoy having in there. Is there a reason to it or did the Chromium team just not get around to implement it yet?
Agree but a lot of companies, particularly larger ones, don't have this sort of culture. They are filled with people whos sense of worth(at the company at least) is defined by a narrow job title and set of skills. Their worldview requires them to categorize everyone else on a narrow set of attributes as well:

"Oh, you're a programmer so you must not be good at soft-skills and communicating with the business."

"Ah, you have soft-skills and you also program? You must not actually be very good at programming so you should stop that and just become a PM."

"Ah, they are PMs/Sales/Whatever so SQL is too hard for them and they can't be expected to learn git or markdown; that's for nerds."

This leads to cringy, insulting sentiments like:

> The most valuable thing you can be doing is writing code

Ughh.
Even if they were to verify such details, that doesn’t preclude the purchaser from committing fraud or scamming others. There’s no way for a seller (namecheap) to ensure their product (domain) is not associated with misuse, just like any other real world sales.
I was just looking at all my old PlayStation Developer OS CDs - still have the entire set from working on the OS's video subsystem for Sony in Tokyo. That was quite the experience, contributing to the OS, working in Tokyo as a gaijin Midwest transplant, experiencing Sony's unsure corporate attitude they'd be successful with video games...
Many have warned, most have not understood or unfortunately cared enough to listen. Now we are fighting the uphill battle for it.
No. Those in power have compromised the values of their own country and want to safe their hides. There is little gray area, the Iraq war has been started under false premises for imperalistic and strategic reasons. Assange is no threat here.
The only times I've seen cheques in recent years are birthday presents from grandparents. I think they're still quite widely used by older people.
A Sales Engineer role may be a better fit. It’s a great combination for someone with good tech skills and business acumen.

In every SE role I had I still had to code so it’s a good way to dip you toes in without going all in.
I'd say having your Chinese and Japanese text in different encodings would make it worse. In a markup language the annotations can be inline. HTML has e.g. <span lang="ja">, which seems to work well enough.
I'm a big fan of reducing the webs addictive footprint. So thank you for building this, I hope it gains traction :)

I've found ublock origin's "picking"-feature quite powerful. It allows you to just pick and permanently remove any element on a page. My youtube pretty much looks just like what this addon does. I think with a simpler UI it could empower many more people to handle their online addictions. This seems especially important on mobile and sadly also particularly difficult.

Imagine just handing everyone a Megawatt of energy, to do with as they please. We'd be living in a very different world.

However, for any of the above to be believable, there have to be some reputable sources to look at, no? Why is no one working on this and why isn't there more news of this, when this can just be done by 'putting all the pieces together'?

I am just as enthusiastic as the next guy about progress, but these extraordinary statements require extraordinary evidence IMO
I doubt they will corner the market for AI code assistants. ML models are replicated or surpassed in a few months by the competition. We will all benefit from them, it won't remain concentrated in a few hands.
You're still free to do that. But honestly having done DevOps/sysadmin in both of those worlds, i vastly prefer the whole one-service-per-machine, cattle treatment with the one off exception for remote workspaces and the like.

Losing a server was often devastating, even with backups. "Don't run your builds right now, people are visiting the website" also sounds a lot like "Don't connect to the internet right now, i need to use the phone".

I mean there's "correct" ways to implement the whole pet servers concept but .. why? It's fun, sure, but it's also a waste of time, and when you want to be productive it just tends to get in your way.

From HN threads about registrars, they seem to be a preferred registrar in general - it's not hugely surprising that scammers share similar preferences.
With binary I meant 1-bit pixels; in mspaint.exe this is called monochrome bitmap. I find the distinction convenient because one dimensional color can be called grayscale or black and white. Maybe 1-bit could be called black or white.
New Marc Andreessen Interview with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Ah, shouldn't write comments before coffee! Good point
Ahh, it’s a business account and not a personal one.

Even so, it doesn’t add up. You’re saying anyone can just fax transfer orders to your bank if they know your account number without including any authentication information of any type? And you’re OK with this?
That's great! Re: "high levels" Specifically how much?

I watch a lot of technology overviews/previews explanation videos and in many cases people will point out issues in the comments. I wonder if there would be a good solution to be able to see that kind of comment but not useless ones.
How does that even follow? You'd say the same if Linux couldn't run Windows games.

Also, you used "begs the question" incorrectly. You mean "raises the question".

Also, because Windows is a steaming pile of donkey turd that shoves ads in your OS, reboots when you're trying to get work done, resets privacy and power management settings after many of its coerced updates, and has a spazzy and inconsistent UI that offers limited customization. Also closed source.
They didn't have the ability to do a manual card entry? Where I used to work we'd just do manual entry when issues like this occurred.
There will be a "cut-out" I'm naming them Steve, between the scam victims and the actual bad guys. So postal investigators can put hours of work in and tie back a bunch of cheques to Steve from Florida, and they go to Steve's house and Steve quickly admits that yeah, he sent the cheques. But Steve is getting paid $100 per week to send dozens of cheques, and Steve is so dumb his only contact "up the chain" is to somebody named "Bx$cash$$" on Telegram who told Steve it's a legitimate business venture. Steve is completely sure Bx$cash$$ is a 20-something woman from Utah, but the investigators aren't morons unlike Steve so they guess immediately that's a stock photo, and Bx$cash$$ has almost certainly never set foot on any soil with extradition to the US. Dead end.

Could they charge Steve with crimes? Yeah, and I guess if they're frustrated or Steve was obnoxious and unco-operative they will. But he's a dead end, there is no route to Bx$cash$$ whoever that might be, through Steve, and so long as America is a land of morons who dream of being billionaires there will be more Steves so why even bother?
PostgreSQL vs. MySQL: How to Choose?
I find the rapid store expansion a problem and wouldn't be surprised if they repeat the same mistake, although they haven't plastered their clothes with Zara logos.

Uniqlo is the only store that hasn't yet repeated this mistake.
For every programmer who can think and reason about what they are doing, there are at least 10 who just went to a bootcamp and are not afraid to copy and paste random stuff they do not understand and cannot explain.

Initially, they will appear more productive with CoPilot. Businesses will decide they do not need anybody other than those who want to work with CoPilot. This will lead to adverse selection on the quality of programmers that interact with CoPilot ... especially those who cannot judge the quality of the suggested code.

That can lead to various outcomes, but it is difficult to envision them being uniformly good.
Off-topic question, but I read that some people survived.

How can one survive such a collapse?

Does being on the upper floors or lower floors increase odds of survival?

in what world is that the only possible thing a provider could do against abuse? Scam domains always are on a timer, a big part of it is if a registrar is responsive to abuse reports or not.

It seems pretty similar to https://www.falkon.org/ (which is the successor of Qupzilla, i.e. a lightweight browser based on QT5+Blink, already natively integrating an ad-blocker, vertical tabs, and a lot of useful stuffs)
I've recently found a (Swiss) shop which has the main business of printing and stitching logos onto bulk shirts, but will happily sell me low volumes of the blank clothes as well.

Those do typically have shit quality at bargain prices, but as soon as you pay more than, let's say 10 EUR for a simple shirt, the quality is quite good (certainly better than C&A or most branded merch).

That might be an avenue worth investigating for you as well!
I used to live in a small(ish) town, roughly 6,000 population, and checks were still used regularly. Basically if you had check from a local bank you could use it the same way you'd use a card.

Are you using the Firefox Developer Edition[1], or just the current stable one?

Fellow web-dev here, using Firefox (the one that comes with Ubuntu) as main driver. And I'd like to know if the Developer Editiion offers any benefits over the stable one, for webdevelopment.

As an app developer that does the release build and the uploading myself, having Apple and now (finally!) Google do the app thinning themselves saves me a ton of work. I'm also way more confident it's done the right way.

If you are worried about Google tampering the apps now that they sign the apps themselves, well I've got news for you: guess who owns the *OS* on which the apps run.

"Referring to the origin [...] of such groups" might be it, but yeah, "common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like" alone doesn't make an ethnicity. I suspect the existence of ethnic groups will be denied too at some point, or labelled as "offensive".
In Germany too, but your signature needs to match the one on file for verification.
Code reviews should be about project structure and abstractions and keeping approach in order or to use team common approach instead of each team member doing whatever, well syntax/code should be linted and formatted automatically nothing for reviewer. Second thing is checking by second pair of eyes if they understand code in question in the same way.

Unit and integration tests should not be generated. Those should be written by people if they find code that they are writing doing complex things like some specific calculation. It is more as a tool for understanding what you are doing and then maybe leave some tests behind for regression. But don't generate BS tests that will only slow down system and people. People have to understand what is going on and be on top of it and never "just run the tests" because tests that are passing green but are actually wrong are really bad.

UI testing should not be abstractable - it should be only augmenting manual UI testing - so tester should be automating his own work after he has done it manually. That tester should also find things that take him long time or have to be done multiple times and are not changing often so he wins time to do more important things. QA person should also be always engaged with the system and automation because that is the only way you can keep domain knowledge.
you can use elementor free version to create most of the sites. but its slow down your website. Wordpress GUtenberg is also drag and drop.

Because risk. Rich, privileged people can try different things with zero risk of becoming destitute. And that's how they practically stumble into new opportunities. Adam Neumann was making collapsible heels and toddler knee-pads before he decided to try the pyramid that is WeWork, which ultimately bought him a private jet and multiple houses.

Me? I didn't have a chance to "try" things. My room for error was zero. Must get above 90 average. Must get scholarship. MUST find job. MUST be there at 9AM. MUST pay rent.

Now I am saving money to take one year off to work on my own thing, but only because my first future ex-wife works for NYC and I can be on her insurance. Without that safety net, at 40, no way.

So, not everyone can be born a failson like Jared Kushner, but what we CAN have is a safety net to let people take risks.
I presume part of this is that for a long while the KDE/webkit/chrome engine was a separate, isolated thing, whereas the rendering in Firefox was not.

Not sure where Firefox/gecko is now, but pulling the rendering apart from the UI and improving it to be usable by other UIs, projects, would help get this done.
"Always, always look at the url bar". How will that help the non-tech savvy out there?
It was used by KDE for some oauth workflows, where changing the user agent string was not possible, and auth consequently impossible. They've switched to the external browser instead.

There are lots of mid-price clothing retailers across Europe who produce reasonable quality clothes (better than Primark quality). I find it hard to believe these stores sell poor quality chinos, jeans, etc in the 30-50 price range.

Having said that, I'm sure everyone has a story of how a cheaply priced item of clothing turned out to be of better quality and durability than a equalivent expensive item.

(Aside: In the UK, I'd place clothing retailers like John Lewis and Marks & Spencer in the mid-price to high-price category.)
I had a similar experience, with my university and AP classes.

University would not accept the AP classes, and basically two years of college to learn what I had already been taught in high-school.

>The data sets that produce these plots almost never take into account why people stop drinking. When you do control for this, and in the process filter out people who stop drinking because of other severe health issues, it becomes obvious that not drinking at all is the healthiest option.

But many studies do account for that scenario of "sick quitters". The statistical correlation still showed that light moderate drinkers had lower mortality rates.

The study itself may still be flawed but the point is that the researchers were aware of "sick quitters" being categorized as "non-drinkers" and thus distorting the results.

Excerpt from 90+ Study publication https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17350977/ :

>The greater proportion of surviving
participants in our study who reported not drinking at follow-up compared to baseline is
probably due to a combination of the cohort’s becoming older and drinking less, secular
changes in alcohol consumption with time, and survival selection effects. Decline in
consumption is also associated with the development of ill health, particularly
cardiovascular disease. This accumulation of ill health and higher mortality risk in ‘sick
quitters’ increases the observed benefit in drinkers if non-drinkers include these ex-drinkers
[6, 24, 26]. In addition, regular light drinkers tend to have characteristics advantageous to
health [26, 27]. Thus, controlling for baseline disease is important, particularly if alcohol
history is unknown. With adjustment for baseline medical history as well as body mass
index, exercise, and smoking, the lower risks of death among light and moderate alcohol
drinkers observed in our study did not change substantially and remained statistically
significant although those associated with heavier drinking were reduced.
Looks good, appreciate that you kept most of the raw HTML appeal
I'm positive to your overall sentiment that we should remember the physical health and comfort which we have achieved.

The Hobbes quote, however, does not apply. Hobbes was comparing life with/without a sufficiently strong Leviathan ('central government') to provide basic protection of property rights, or at least a semblance of such protection.

But the "long way" to which you refer, the physical comfort of modern life, is the fruit of the industrial revolution, roughly 150 years of history.

Hobbes was much earlier, he probably never saw the IR coming.
At each new technology step the data rate increases and so does the number of base stations.
> folks that think about and manage change to the product, namely product folks

It's weird to me that the software engineers building the product are not viewed as "product folk".

The people designing the architecture for and building the actual product aren't managing the changes to it or concerned about it? The people who have to address any defects in it aren't concerned about their processes as they pertain to quality?

This sort of worldview seems anti-agile and anti-lean TBH.

That is nice, but it's little to go by. I used Opera once for a while, but no idea what version. What was that "spirit" of Opera 12? What are those features power users want, do I want them too?

Give me at least a screenshot and 1-2 sentences that I as the user of current Firefox or Chrome can say anything about. All I get is fast and lightweight, which seemingly 90% of software projects write somewhere on their homepage.

Nothing against this browser, it's just that there are more open source projects than I could ever try out in my free time, and if I have to take a second look to find a link to screenshots somewhere below the one to the changelog it's not too convincing. It doesn't have to, maybe I'm not the target audience, but that's my impression.
I thing the point of the GP is to remind us that this is not 'the framework that underlies music', it is 'a framework that is used to structure much European/American-inspired music'.

That is, there are cultures that formalize or structure their music differently, and there are properties of music that are outside of these models. There are even many popular or niche songs that work against some aspects of this structure.

And all this is not about the ineffability of art, it is simply about not confusing the map for the territory. Many people who wax poetic about the mathematical properties of music, and start deep theories about the human brain and our enjoyment of music from there, tend to forget that the mathematics are describing a particular formal system that some choose to use when making music; they are not mathematical properties of anything that a human being would recognize as pleasant music.
