I'm 44. My parents are 64 and 62. They are, I guess you could call them "tech-illiterate".

My simple rules for them: You don't install anything on your devices without checking with me. This includes the browser. You also don't go on shady sites offering free streaming of your favorite TV shows. If you want such media, you ask me and I get it for you. You only stay on legit/popular sites. Plus, I use a simple DNS sinkhole and browser-based ad-blocking.

These simple rules and precautionshave saved me tons of time, money, and frustration. My friends in similar situations didn't make such rules. The result, as an example: my friend's dad managed to have Safari and other stuff on his MacBook Air essentially hijacked by adware.

Children, elderly, and tech-illiterate people will click on anything and give up any piece of information. They will also do this regardless of you telling them otherwise -- this is a sign of disrespect and bad behavior that should be punished.
Sorry, this is bad advice. If you test against 3rd-party systems, eventually your system will grow to the point where you are spending a good deal of time dealing with your 3rd-party's random breakage (downtime or flakiness rather than API changes).

I learned this lesson twice the hard way: once with social media networks like Twitter and Facebook, and the other with Google Drive.

Can we prove that the reporting percentage has gotten worse over time? No, but we can make a plausible argument that a change in policy to not prosecute X will result in people not bothering to report X. We also have anecdotal information that places like Targets and Walgreens are facing increased losses. We now have multiple anecdotes supporting the plausible scenario. That's not unfalsifiable, it's just unfalsifiable by using the statistics that are plausibly wrong.

You could think about trying to falsify it by, for example, surveying businesses about their rate of losses due to shoplifting. To my knowledge, we don't have that data. What we do have is reason to question the statistics you're quoting.
I am not responsible for your mental illness. I don't know you. You don't know me. The only connection between us is some text I wrote on the internet that orginated in my brain entered your brain. You don't need to let it influence you so much unless you can not help it due to a mental disability like paranoid schizophrenia. If you are mentally sick you should go to the doctor. What the hell do you have to lose? You are contemplating losing everything anyway.

My experience with mocking was sad.

I had unit tests; they all passed.

I had end-to-end tests; they all passed.

In production, I had about 1 in 1,000,000 failures. The most likely culprit was broken TCP connections, in turn most likely due to the enormous network load I was generating, which was only tolerable during rare windows.
I tried mocking Linux TCP socket behavior, but failed to find a formal descriptions of the possible failure behaviors, and had to guess at a lot of things; I ultimately didn't finish before the project was abandoned.
I have a moral conflict with suicide. On the one hand, I think life is precious, and we should hold onto it and try to make the best of it as we can. I am agnostic, I don’t know what comes next, so I feel like I need to hang on and do the best I can here because it may be the only life I have. However, I am also very fiercely supportive of a person‘s right to self-determination. If someone is intent on ending their life, I will not stand in their way, nor should the government.

Almost 40, I have a wife and children, I could never dream of leaving them and so no matter how bad things get, I’m always reminded that I have something better to live for. I cannot imagine what it’s like for someone who doesn’t have some thing or someone to live for, or something to look forward to an aspire to day after day. Nevertheless, life is what you make it, and it is your life to live or end.

I thought I wanted this, too, and I've used every Firefox extension under the sun to try and achieve it, from the original panorama that was part of Firefox to tree style tabs to a few grouping extensions using containers.

Turns out that almost anything which makes it less painful to keep open large numbers of tabs, also makes my tab count explode.

I think I understand the reason, too: the easiest time to close a tab is immediately (after you're done using it). That's when you have the most context, so you are in the best position to say "I don't need this tab any more". The longer you wait, the longer you'll have to spend figuring out what that tab was about, so you can decide if it's safe to close. Or, of course, you could deal with that later... (And we know how it goes from here).

There is utility in grouping tabs within a working session. Browser windows work pretty well for this, as long as your OS / window manager has a sane way to switch between multiple windows of the same application. There is also utility in being able to hide and restore groups you're using frequently but not constantly, like a side project you're working on at night or on weekends. Again, a window manager with a "workspaces" feature is clutch. Beyond that, there are rapidly diminishing returns.

You can pull those features into your browser via extensions, of course, but I've found they require too much care to avoid the "hundreds of tabs" issue. I'd much rather have a tree style or grouped history than anything with state that I need to manually clean up.
It's a fair view, as we bring these things into being. "What was once thought cannot be unthought," sort of thing, and having a tech at all means the economics of using it for evil itself becomes viable. The argument back is, "if it wasn't us, it would be someone else who did it," which is a self justifying slippery slope, and then we get into the conflict between the ideal of not doing evil vs. doing it first so nobody can do it to you, and being good is meaningless if you are dead or don't prevail to preserve it.

I genuinely believe (perhaps naively) that there are good people, and we do crafty things to pursue our interests, but we punch the clock out at some point and respect that the battle of our conflicting interests must cease so we can return to being people. This is predicated on the idea that we are just humans recognizing we are dealing with other humans, and we will find an equillibrium of interests at some point. Where that breaks down is when we lose sight of that and just start to exterminate each other for its own sake by all deceptive and mendacious means necessary. For that you have to give up your own humanity first. Maybe that view is as quaint as the famously naive "gentlemen do not read each others' mail," statement, but without some guiding humanity, we might as well just use biological warfare because the only thing stopping using that is polite convention. Some rulers have been content to rule over slaves and disposable subjugated automatons reduced to living like animals, but their ambition is meaningless and unsatisfying because without some assent, they do not rule over people. When you have subjugated a people, the only solution is to find more people to subjugate. It's on everyone else to engage in total war to prevent that from happening, imo.

That's a big philosophical hope statement, but in terms of the ethics of building these tools, the truly evil empires have their own infrastructure, and don't need tools like those made by the NSO's of the world. Globally, and species wise, NSO's clients aren't the problem.
The space shuttle SRBs were designed with two o-rings, a primary and a secondary. When the primary kept showing signs of burn through, instead of treating that as a problem, it was said that because the secondary o-ring was not burned through, the safety factor was sufficient. But the primary was not designed to burn through. The safety factor did not account for burn through in normal operation, but risk assessments obscured that fact.
I suggest looking at a book called “Final Exit.” If you are intent to do this, there is a better way to go about it, although I hope you will hang on for a better tomorrow.

> Who do you think is going to pay for social media?

Initially? Parents of young children, who want a safe and easy way to share photos and videos with their friends and family.

After that, people who enjoy having a nicer experience than the garbage tier platforms we have today.

> What regular person would rather pay than see ads?

Everyone who pays (or has paid) for Netflix instead of watching network TV. Before that, everyone who paid for cable when it was ad-free.

In the UK the local council (town hall) only holds the plans relevant to making planning decisions, not the detailed construction plans. Private companies can sign off the building safety (known as building control) usually as part of providing a new build warranty on the development (but then one of the biggest providers, Zurich, offloaded their portfolio to a shell company than then went bankrupt under the liabilities due to incorrectly signing off buildings. The whole situation is a major scandal in the UK at that moment)

Two of your 3 favorites are not unique to Vivaldi, is there any other feature worth the switch besides "Stack tabs by host"?
This may be an ignorant comment (as this is not my area), but I've ways wondered if say acient remains of someone like shaq were found and dated to be the same as a man 5ft tall, would we claim they were different species, or is there something more significant that divides ancient proto human groups that lived at the same time.
I have spent my career as a C++ developer. What is more interesting to me about Rust isn't memory safety, but safe concurrency. But I have so much legacy code to deal with that all I can do is be influenced by Rust ideas: force all code to document assumptions about ownership and lifetimes, as if we had a borrow checker, and focus attention on redesign of code where this doesn't work cleanly.
> Really the lesson that should be taught here instead of “don’t use mocks” is “unit tests aren’t sufficient, write integration tests too”.

I completely agree with your comment.

I also think that people underestimate the kinds of scenarios unit tests can test; scenarios that are not possible or not practical to test by other means:

Unit tests are excellent for testing edge cases and scenarios that do not generally happen in normal production. It makes it easy to test things like 'how does this function behave if X returns some corrupted data?'. I feel like a lot of products don't test the failure cases at all, thinking 'that will never happen'. Mocking external services is a very straightforward way to test these kind of scenarios.

Just last week I was looking at a typical heisenbug that did not happen in 99%+ of production. The bug was masked by a combination of caching and the program flow. I was able to write a very short and specific unit test that was able to deterministically mimic the (bad) state the program was in and reproduce said bug.

There was however no way to properly test this using integration testing because it was relying on specific program state to manifest itself. Even if we had an integration test with the exact same data that caused the bug to appear, it would not be a deterministic test and future code changes might make it disappear even though the underlying bug is still there (or re-appeared).
Hey, thanks. The Android version is coming as soon as humanly possible. Which, given the current human, will hopefully be by the end of the year.

Science must push copyright aside (2001)
If the real history is that you developed all three features in an interleaved way, isn't that more useful (e.g. for bisection) than a fictional history that you haven't actually tested? Most likely your cherry-picking/rebasing won't be perfect, so you'll still have parts of A mixed in with B and C and you'll have things like one commit depending on changes from a future commit. The history of how the code was actually developed might be "messy" but it's more likely to at least compile (because presumably you were compiling it from time to time while you were developing).
Someone has a mirror of this site I hope
It is not really money at that point, is it ;) Also, why do assume I have not done that yet?

But you can not expect this all to happen overnight, as people's scientific careers are on the line. Thankfully, it is slowly happening, with or without Scihub.
"Similar to the Grenfell Tower fire in Uk"

No it isn't quite the same. I recently had a look at the docs about Grenfell. That's here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/aluminium-composite-material-cla...

I haven't quite got to the bottom of whether the standards relating to fire was broken or whether the guidance for builders had a hole in it that allowed for what we now know as sub standard cladding.

Not sure if that's the case with others, but I have a really hard time connecting CT with actual applications. My classes were full of complex maths and toy examples, but very weak in actual engineering and heuristics.
Personal computers aren’t nearly as personal as our smartphones. My laptop has no clue about my heart rate, exercise level, how much I’m spending at the grocery store, where I am any time I leave the house, etc.

It’s not unreasonable to argue that a smartphone requires more security than a laptop.
> Where the real threat, in my opinion, lies is with third party app stores. It's easy to imagine Facebook for example launching its own app store where rules for information gathering are lax or nonexistent and then forcing its success by making the powerhouse apps it controls exclusive to it - a lot of people wouldn't think twice about installing a questionable app store if that were the only way they could get Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc. There's also no shortage of unscrupulous developers who would jump aboard their platform for the anything goes policies.

You make a very good point.

And that point is exactly why apple shouldn't be allowed to editorialize their app store byond security and privacy controls. Blocking apps that compete with their pre-installed apps, blocking apps that don't allow apple to make money off of them, blocking apps that apple disagrees with morally (adult/porn apps, forcing discord to block joining adult servers on ios) etc.

Apple really fucked themselves here and they will lose this battle for side loading because they weren't good custodians of the app store platform, and it's a battle they didn't have to lose.

What case did this proposed legal test come from?
See all that fairly fresh paint?

In the first picture they painted over failed concrete. The pictures are said to be “typical.”

The reasons it wasn’t evacuated at the time were business and politics not comprehensive structural investigation.

You see if the client isn’t paying to find problems below the surface, then they won’t be found. And it is common for clients to not want to find such problems. And for engineers to limit their analysis accordingly.

I know what my professional opinion would have been based on those pictures. It would not have been good for my business given the client profile.

Or to put it another way, those pictures show that what happened had a real chance of happening. That’s not hindsight. It would have caused me grave concerns.
So... Go get the data. In the mean time, you've got opinions, and that's all.
The "Powder Game" version used to be my favorite "game" of all time. However, I always got limited by how many things you could use at once which I thought should be no problem on modern hardware.

It looks like M1 support was added in 2.93, released last month. It's not super-clear from the release notes (in fact, it's not explicitly mentioned at all), but the requirements are listed as requiring "macOS Version 10.13 or newer for Intel processors on supported hardware. Version 11.0 for Arm-based processors (Apple Silicon)." You can download binaries for "Apple Silicon" as well.
Intuitive to a end-user, perhaps not (but why are they modifying those settings anyway? Well behaved apps don’t ask for FDA), but for a developer or power user it should be. If I allow Terminal.app FDA it means that any executables it hatches have FDA, or else it would be super confusing if you give it FDA and then wonder why nothing seems to have changed.
40 hours a week is too many for any intellectual or creative work. It’s also true that if you’re management, you should model healthy and productive working models and that includes not working more than 40 hours a week.

> Grinding away may not be productive, and may be a sign of a poorly run company, but sometime a company has to do it anyway if it's the matter of survival. A dead company can't become a well run one.

I’d highly recommend quitting if you ever find yourself in a company like this.
> If the only thing keeping Apple's spin of Webkit alive is its own anti-consumer practices of keeping it as the only option within its own walled garden, that's hardly a statement of confidence for the engine itself. Perhaps it should die.

I like Safari because it uses less power and my battery lasts far longer than when using Chrome. Google’s software in general eats up a lot of battery.
I wouldn't bet against it.
I honestly tried to understand what you were saying but there were so many randomly quoted words and phrases that I lost track of your overall point.
It's absurd to call this cruel when there are many reasons to not have fireworks, most involving the damage to other members of the community, our animal friends and the environment.

I don’t understand why you’re being downvoted. It seems to me that either you keep the key that’s used to encrypt the data or Apple does. If Apple keeps the key then they have to comply with subpoenas. If you keep the key then you’re on the hook to not lose it which is a big ask for non-technical users (I’ve seen lots of technical users lose important keys too). Am I missing something?
Ahh this is my fault for thoughtlessly running an out-of-date version. Sorry!
> Who can say, honestly, that the existence of Facebook as it is today is a victory for liberty?

Mark Zuckerberg, and the millionaires that achieved that victory for him (at cost to the rest of us). The rift here is between individual liberty and universal liberty. And while I generally agree that democracy is a greater good than capitalism; I also see a big difference between the capitalism proposed by Adam Smith and the "shareholder value is god" version we see today. I'm also not too keen on communism. As far as I can tell, we need a messy blend of the pure systems, to constantly struggle and debate about the boundaries between them.
I think this is a good idea, but in no way should it be the only restrained game. Others could be time restraints (total time per game and/or total time per move), depth restraints (if they both work off of BFS/similar), and probably many other restraints that those more familiar with the engines can come up with.

Definitely throw in a no casteiing game as well.
Qualcomm manufactures the chips for the Raspberry Pi too, don't they?
