No violence, and not breaking the law. The way it works a couple of big loud slobs moves in and starts a 24/7 party. They are squatters too so police cant throw them out, and your problem tenants quickly give up after slipping on vomit , listening to music all night and being unable to use kitchen/bathroom.
I'm gonna use one of those examples that irks me personally. Do we really need 19 different formulations of fabric softener available in another 15 different scents from 12 different manufacturers?

I'd say it's a solved problem. Make - dunno - 3 different formulations (normal, sensitive, extra soft?), and provide the scents as small and separate ampules, and let the user mix and match the apple and cinnamon, and make the place smell of a bloody apple pie after a load of laundry for all you care. People are usually already familiar with those, and have their preferences, plus it would even be fun to experiment, and make one's own blends.

Anyway.... What I wanted to say is that I hate having too much choice (especially artifical one), and I specifically hate choice paralysis.

And I'm writing this as an European. Finding myself in search of a cereal, and ending up in a typical USican giant isle consisting just of a cereals is my idea of an nightmare. I thank the FSM for Lidl existence.
Whoops, typo, I had an AMD 386/40 and my friend’s 386/33 kicked its ass. I _did_ actually also have an AMD 286, but it was 13MHz & had a whole 1MB of RAM.
The whole point of my strategy would be that perhaps Delta is a precursor to a, let's say, Zeta variant that has almost complete evasion to the vaccine.

Let's say in January or something.

So what you're doing is giving your body a high chance to crush the Delta and gain some cross-immunity towards the future evasive variant.

Whereas if you just relied on the vaccine, it might not even work well in January.

Obviously this is just conjecture, but I think a real possibility.

But a year over year line chart already shows trends well enough.

Splitting not by month, but by season, would be neat to see. But I'm sceptical there are any learnings to be had here.
I looked into getting one of those once, figuring I’m a safe driver and therefore would only benefit from it.

What I found on the Internet were (self selected, admittedly) stories of the presence of the device making your driving less safe. Since it’s basically an accelerometer, sometimes it’s “safer” to take a curve fast than to brake for it. Or fly through a yellow rather than stop at it.

I have no doubt there’s correlation between those devices’ scores and accident proclivity; but I’m confident my driving is safe as-is and would rather let premiums go down after accident-free miles than on the say-so of a nanny device.

So I bought a dashcam instead, hopefully to avoid being ruled 50/50 at fault if someone hits me.
It takes a lot of energy. It's exhausting.
The LX2160A chip is indeed designed for router/firewall/VPN type appliances and this board is repurposing it (poorly) as a "workstation".
They should just give up the name China, give up the claims to the mainland etc and just become Taiwan.

Also, get nukes from the US and say that they will use first strike if they are threated by CCP.
That seems wildly optimistic.

In the UK, 2% of people who tested positive have died. In the US, 1.7% of people who tested positive have died.

The mortality rate among hospitalized people even higher.

> There was folklore that said three terminations were needed to get things to work: two electrical, one on each end of the cable; and one termination of a rooster at midnight around five black candles.

I count five terminations and three kinds of terminations.
Fair. They would probably block a buy button. But the exact language is "communications, such as email," which is broader than only by email.
In the article when comparing the native vs lodash implementation the native one is given as:

persons
.map(p => ({ ...p, age: p.age + 1 }))
.filter(p => p.age >= 30)
.slice(0, 5);

^ But this is intentionally(?) unoptimized. You would instead put the filter and slice first, i.e.

person.filter(p => p.age >= 29)
.slice(0,5)
.map(p => ({...p, age: p.age + 1})
> which I guess they insist wasn't allowed before?

I think they'd actually claim that it was allowed before. The press release is after all saying that all that's happening is that they're clarifying the policy, not that they are changing it.
Apple is willing to spend $100 million because their executives are in an echo chamber.

There are investigations (and some proposed laws) in the US, EU, Australia, UK, South Korea, and others. If Apple were a regular business, it should be obvious at this point that losing the App Store is inevitable by now. A question of when, not if.

And yet Apple thinks that maybe, just maybe, they can buy their way out and have a chance to keep the status quo still. I think it's way too late for that now. We just need to sit back and wait for the lawmakers to finish the job.
I don’t know exactly what the troll you are responding to was getting at, but modern C++ generally agrees with them that OO isn’t the best way to do most things. For better and/or for worse, C++ can’t remove features, so classes aren’t going anywhere, but you don’t have to make big OO hierarchies.
Well, I was talking about 6000-line bash scripts, but yes, perl does come up fairly often as well.
Apple's codesigning "just works" as long as you stick to XCode. Outside XCode it's extremely esoteric and opaque.

But to Apple's credit, it can be done, and done using the native toolset. It took me awhile, but my relatively simple Makefile is building fat binaries (x86_64 + arm64), building and signing the application package, submitting the package for signing, and stapling certificates. Not monolithically--it's not a giant shell script posing as a Makefile. I have proper, correctly defined build dependencies for every real target up to `make submit`. So `make submit` will effectively build and submit a package both from a fresh checkout, as well as incrementally from an existing tree where only a few object files need rebuilding. But `make submit` and `make staple` themselves are .PHONY targets; they're not idempotent, but invoking them multiple times is still benign.
Twitch is still perfectly fine with streamlink. There's a 15 second loading screen where ads are meant to go (only at the start of your stream), but you don't see any ads.
Unless, of course, Zeta has almost complete evasion to natural immunity too. Then you've intentionally exposed yourself to Delta for no reason.

I'll stick with my strategy of getting the vaccination (including a booster when eligible), and taking reasonable precautions against exposure.
95% of the small businesses I’ve interacted with don’t have someone that knows JavaScript let alone are automating with JavaScript
Linux desktop does not need to be dominant to be relevant. Business apps are important but you seem to forget most people hardly use anything but 1 percent of what Excel or Word can do anyway. I agree that cal, mail situation is not ideal though. Laptops is a no problem if you restrict yourself to certaiin brands.

as for apps, I dont know, Linux is superior in many ways for non GUI work. If you need photoshop then yeah this is not the right OS for you. But I would not want to touch anything Adobe with their dirty subscription models. its not true of all categories though. Krita for digital painting is amazing. Blender for 3d work too. The real answer is... it depends.
True, I'll put "bootstrap" in the extreme maybe area, especially since CSS frameworks are so easy to wire in.

My previous work with React found an huge need for other things, such as redux and redux-saga, and found myself wasting a lot of time wiring that up just to get some text to change in the HTML based on a remote API call, but, personally, as I'm comparatively a n00b with React, I'd really like be prescribed a foundational structure for a new project.
My premium dropped more than 20% after adopting the tracker.
So, have a domestic armed force checking people for rental papers and imprisoning them if they don't check out.

That's considered an "easy fix" now?
You know they at least own the house that costs more than what they owe you, so in a court you can probably regain your money
Not just the west - China too thanks to the 1 child policy.
Curious what exactly they're counting since they do say "users"? If I have a domain in G Suite with 500 users, is that 500 G Suite users or just 1 G Suite user?
They're not your customers, they're Apple's customers and they're granting you a limited audience with them as long as you follow the house rules.

Of course if something goes wrong and the customer gets litigious they'll be your customer then.
And now we have companies saying "we're not a 9-5" and even companies with "996" schedule which basically means "we discriminate against people with kids"
You're thinking about this in moralistic terms of deservedness. The shock I encountered at the 40K was that it wasn't enough to incentive future security researchers to find bugs. This just seems like a bad business decision.
Emptying Presence
You're thinking in absolutes, and there very likely will be immune escape eventually against the mRNA vaccines, and that is pretty much expected.

But that doesn't mean the mRNA vaccines would be failures.

Focusing on the spike was also done because mRNA vaccines against the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-1 showed evidence of ADE in animals models so nobody wanted to go down that road. That decision to run with the spike protein is very unlikely to be shown to ever be a mistake in hindsight and will have been the right choice (and certainly the right choice given the information at the right time and a decision which produced an entirely successful vaccine).

It is also a really pretty safe bet that this virus will evolve to achieve immune escape just like HCoV-229E does and will start reinfecting everyone again. That won't make this vaccine a failure. And that's a good thing since its more likely that forcing it to evolve to achieve immune escape will force it to made tradeoffs between immune escape and transmissibility/virulence/fitness.
In several locations in the US electric bikes are speed-limited to 20-25mph (32-40 km/h). There's no reason you couldn't set the speed governor much lower to match human speeds.

At least where I live (Seattle) if I were to take up biking I'd need a electric assist, since the hills are absolutely massive and steep.
Which Chromebook was it?

I'd like more information about this before installing it.

Why are there no examples? The one example on the page is too small to read.

What personal information does the plugin collect?

Not trying to be negative. The plugin might be useful. It's difficult to make an assessment without this information.
I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. My monthly living expenses (adjusted from IDR to USD on current rate)

1. Apartment rent, 6 months contract at $1300 + $200 deposit, pay upfront, thus $250 monthly. It is a small apartment 1 common area, 2 tiny bedroom, and tiny balcony

2. Utilities, varying from $30 to $50, mine has 2 AC running almost 24/7, a PC with average 200 to 300 watt power draw, and 5 led light bulbs

3. Meals, 3 times a day for 1 person, $20 daily or $600 monthly (this amount considered fancy meal, you can get way cheaper meals like $2/each, way cheaper if you cook)

4. Internet, up to 100 mbps, $35 monthly. Internet quality like speed and stability will depend on area

5. Phone data, $7 monthly

6. Cigarette, I'm a heavy smoker (almost 2 packs a day), $4 daily thus $120 monthly

In total: ~$1050
I don't count for entertainment, transportation (people mostly use Gojek or Grab), subscription

Experience living in Jakarta from native perspective.

- Language barrier, most people can talk in English, although not that fluent, hand gestures give you more power than talk

- Poor pedestrian side road, if you like to walk

- City full of concretes, green park almost non existent

- Bad air quality

- Noisy if your resident near big road or high way

- Covid-19 related situation, Jakarta not the worse but people here tend to not care about this

Alternative to Jakarta, I would recommend.

- Bandung, cheaper living cost, small city, good air quality on most part, had lived there for 2 years

- Bali, foreigner friendly, especially Ubud area for extra nature scenery, I don't recommend Denpasar

Let me know if you have any question (email on my profile), as a fellow game dev I admire your dedication
Do you have YouTube premium? If not consider at some point, someone has to give the channel revenue stream or the channel will die
Not rare in New England. I’ve contracted it twice since the beginning of covid. And once 23 years ago. The first time I was sick for a year even with treatment. These last two times I caught it early but still suffered for months and my body hurts with changes in the weather.

I wish I’d had the vaccine.
Not necessarily, it could be they believe a lawsuit would inflict PR damage and depress their stock price, or that they feel the risk of an extremely negative outcome is too high, even if still unlikely.
Airbnb rebranded [1] and so can you. Ultimately, the important part is that you accomplished an MVP while juggling family, work and kids. Hats off to you mate. You should be proud.

For the time being, I mostly use manual testing.

Most of the older browsers are covered by three VMs: Windows 95, Windows ME, and Windows NT 4.0.

Most Windows Netscape can run in Wine, so I can use symlinked .wine directories to switch versions.

I also do occasional testing at Best Buy or Walmart (many thanks to those places) at a cross-section of their available devices -- a couple of desktops, a couple of phones and tablets of each flavor, etc.

I also often ask people if I can test out my website with their device (or if they want to participate in a 5-minute user study)

For difficult things like Mac IE, I just have a couple of devices e.g. G4 Macs and iOS 7 iPad.

Of course, there are text-mode browsers, which I usually install with apt or whatever.

I also use online emulator services like BrowserStack, they have a pretty good slice in their free tier, and a couple of minutes is enough for smoke testing.

Also, I sometimes come across public devices, such as desktops in survival center, library, hotel, or public community space, and I test on those.

With my own devices, I test across various public wifi locations, so that I can provide workarounds for e.g. content blockers or inadequate proxying.

I use Charles Proxy locally to simulate low-bandwidth connections and other common issues.

I have also asked rare use-case users, such as visually impaired, to test using a script, usually through topical Facebook groups.

That's about all I can think of for now, there's probably more.
I won't be buying another apple computer (never had any of their other devices).

Part of the reason for this is that with the new apple-only chips they will be able to finish locking the operating system down and forcing everyone to buy software from the app store.

That's their revenue model going forward.
When writing JS, I always prefer ramdajs over lodash because of your first three points.
No problem paying six dollers then?
50mph is going to kill somebody, potentially two people, if someone loses control and crashes into a much slower moving manual bike or pedestrian.
edit: the break-even point is 6% APY

$10,000 deposit used to be converted to $100 rent (to get 12%). It's now only $50 rent. (Although in my case I think it still was $100/12%).
The App Store is under investigation by at least a half dozen countries right now.

To me, Apple losing the App Store appears completely inevitable; and Apple is willing to throw $100 million at a last-ditch effort to keep the status quo.

And if we're lucky and devs are smart, we'll have developers publicly mock those checks from Apple's fund because that was money that Apple took from them with the revenue split and is giving back a fraction of, how generous.

It's like when people get excited about tax refunds from the IRS. Super exciting, until you realize it was excess money taken from you to begin with.
Would you not consider Java as write once run anywhere? I mean, that was basically its whole selling point.

I feel its popularity is more to do with one stack everywhere, than say, some groundbreaking tech idea.

All that aside, I must agree. Electron, however you view it, has greatly boosted linux compat among popular applications.
This is a hard thing to get across to people coming at it from a perspecitve of being higher up on some imaginary natural hierarchy.

Also, real organized crime immediately flips on you when people notice their loud obvious daylight crimes and there is blowback.
Well.. we were just looking at Heisener for a Cypress chip, but can't decide whether to pull the trigger. Have you placed an order and received the product from them?
Personal experience and opinion: Ex Apple user (20+ years), changed lot of roles, nowadays I manage, design and implement front-end stuff. My last Linux Desktop tinkering was at the time when Suse Desktop was the power behind creation of compiz (don't remember exactly) and was a nightmare.

I am familiar with Ubuntu/Debian as servers, never intended to use Linux Desktop seriously.

So as I sad numerous time here I switched my company to Arch/Manjaro on Apple Hardware, some of the engineers are with KDE, some with Gnome and I don't here any complains whatsoever. We are adapted all the work to Linux Desktops in record time, but this is not the important point that I want to share.

The important point is in the semantics of the following words related to computing:
User Control. Transparency. Security. Peace of mind.

Apple progressively lost me with all Unification of the platforms and ignoring professionals constantly. Recent "scanning fiasco" cured my fetishism completely.

I am running Manjaro with Gnome and find that with minimal technical effort I have unique UX (Gnome Layout Switcher with tiling option) which makes me more productive than macOS. I never expected so painless transition, honestly.

On a commercial software:
I will pay double or triple the price for Affinity Designer port to Linux. I have asked in the past and they answered No, but we will see in the future.
As others have said, privacy is not about having nothing to hide, it's about having nothing you want to share.
There's a possibly apocryphal Dijkstra quote that "Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California."[1] Whether or not he actually said it, there is a pretty good discussion in that link.

I guess you can look forward to a check for $2.12 in the mail. Feels like Apple's highfalutin way of mocking devs.
I don't understand the fund. Who would receive the funds, and how?

Is this a one time check to all developers who gross less than $ 1 million?
I tried to nudge my last team over to Ramda and… nope, team wasn’t interested. I think there’s a good opportunity for a library that has Ramada’s principles but appeals to Lodash users.
how is it not?
Incredibly important to know about for startup founders and early employees.

QSBS is not applicable in California and a few others, and some states only partially conform:

Can I pull this off at say, Versailles?
Thats not the good bet - based solely on this information - the landlords would be fine on their own property, they would have lost a portion or all of a prior renters deposit in some other speculate bet instead of just letting it sit in a bank account, new renters deposits are paying for the ability of the landlord to pay the prior renters

Of course that prior speculative bet could be in mortgage(s). You would need to look at other weakness in that economy to rationalize whatever bet you want.
they don’t have any money, that’s why they are squatting lol
Side business? $64 billion in revenue in 2020. That's like a quarter of their overall revenue?
Yeah, we are agreeing on this point. Most of it is not surplus - more usage, more fuel used.

The only true surplus is if the water needed to flow anyway, or for something like nuclear power which has to stay active at some base load.

Even so, there’s more useful potential uses like desalinisation or carbon capture.
Ten years ago that could have been my response when someone called me out. I typed the exact same kinds of things to the exact same kinds of callouts. Until one day when instead of arguing further I actually did sit down, reflect, and become incredibly embarrassed with my behavior.

I wondered why no one else had told me how it looked or what it made me look like, but then I realized they had been. So that's all I'm trying to do now for you.
Nope.

How many you got?

New consultants typically will get the worst projects because they have the worst clients. Good projects come from good clients and their existing consultants work hard to make them happy.

Generally you will get calls from three classes of people. Amateurs, grifters, and established players who will use your low due to desperation price to beat down the established contractor they are going to hire regardless.

Some amateurs can turn into good clients eventually after five or ten years of relationship building. Basically you have to be in it long enough to grow your business alongside theirs.

Grifters will have lots of experience but somehow failed to establish strong business relationships with the people they worked with. The reason is the people they worked with didn’t make money.
Look at childhood independence (or childhood mobility) in car-centric cities vs bike+transit cities. The argument that children are more mobile in cars does not hold up to any real-world scrutiny.
> Are the sponsor parts really so bad?

All marketing is bad. It's essentially mindhacking.

> I want indie people to make enough money to produce high quality content

If people have something to say, they will say it whether they get paid for it or not. That's what I want. Real opinions from real people. Not some sponsored content you can't trust is real.

> otherwise media is just what a few biggies want to fund

It already is. All they have to do to lose funding is say or do something those sponsors don't like.
