I have definitely seen that happen before. It's good that you are at least noticing it! If you want to move out of that mindset, talking to a counselor of some sort is probably going to be useful. Change is hard, but it can happen. Good luck.
If it's trained on code that we write, that sounds completely accurate.
Apart from that [true fact], VSCode being available directly is HUGE !
I think that'd be unlikely - there was a massive evolutionary benefit for the plant to produce the amount of carbohydrate stores that the plant naturally makes. If it'd been more beneficial to produce more carbs, the plant would already.

I think a more likely question is what about nutrient density? Making more carbs, in a sense, is easy. Sunlight + CO2 == carbs. Nutrients are more stringently limited by the mineral properties of the soil. This just shoves into our food more calories we don't need diluting the nutrients we do.

Unless their plan is to make cheap, tasteless, vodka and sake
It’s catch-up in that Apple submits less than a thousand CSAM reports to NCMEC annually:

> According to NCMEC, I submitted 608 reports to NCMEC in 2019, and 523 reports in 2020. In those same years, Apple submitted 205 and 265 reports (respectively). It isn't that Apple doesn't receive more picture than my service, or that they don't have more CP than I receive. Rather, it's that they don't seem to notice and therefore, don't report.

> In 2020, FotoForensics received 931,466 pictures and submitted 523 reports to NCMEC; that's 0.056%. During the same year, Facebook submitted 20,307,216 reports to NCMEC.

Why the downvotes? This is a really important question given just how easy it already is to design a virus.
Other implementers don’t scan on-device.

It’s not only a matter of Apple’s openness about it. It’s the fact of what they’re announcing.
1. Regarding the problem of having to review a lot of cards, this is actually somewhat inevitable. Still, Note Garden made several attempts to alleviate this problem as much as possible. For example, you can choose which range to learn very flexibly on demand exploiting a tree structure. In addition to this, we plan to make the content that the user already know not appear in the learning course as much as possible by connecting each other's difficulty measurement between the notes.

2. Regarding the issue of when the product dies, we are also considering making it open source to minimize the harm to learners when the Note Garden can no longer be maintained. And we have already been developing Note Garden for over 3 years. It won't die right away
Azure CosmosDB Vulnerability – What do I need to do?
Mark All as Read.
Congratulations on Inbox Zero achievement.

The only thing that stuck for me from getting-things-done was the 2 minute rule. Or the 'its quicker to do the thing than to manage the task via a complicated process' rule. Even then there every time I do a cleanout in Pocket there is stuff I dont even want to waste the 2 minutes on. Then there is the stuff older than say 2/3 months - I am probably not going to go back to either, but nice to have it in the search index all the same.

And that is how I am lazy, bookmark stuff and then never read it afterwards.
I’m a pretty big fan of penc. It’s has snap like functionality placed on gestures on the trackpad and is free https://deniz.co/penc/
Interesting thought but Apple never gives choice on much (well except Safari UI now!), and I don't see them giving an explicit choice on this. If they really had for a goal to implement E2EE, I could maybe see this now that you are mentioning it.

However if I had to make a guess, they'll go server-side scanning only, and E2EE backups/Photos will never happen.

To me it's a pipe dream to believe they would offer E2EE, there's too much international pressure from governments around the world to keep iCloud backups open and going E2EE would trigger unpalatable retaliations.
I wonder if external entities (eg. Elastic) can also successfully use the Leadership Principles to frame disputes with AWS, or if an effort like that would fall flat.
> Do you feel the same way about working with men? If not...I think you get your answer. But you already knew that didn't you?

Not working, but giving feedback. You can work with someone without giving them feedback or trying to improve them.

However, touche.

I am not sure how that improves anything at all though. The entire point is that it seems like, in today's culture, it is better for men to not give feedback to women ala the case mentioned here (Ashley) and I've personally heard many other anecdotes as well. You can also see the case that the other person who replied to my comment talked about where a female coworker decided to file for discrimination just because the male was promoted.

I guess it is sexist (1). Although, isn't that what women want? After all, "#tonepolicing is totally okay from my #bigtech #male leaders" clearly indicates that males giving advice is not appreciated at least to one female. Mentioning their gender clearly indicates that being "men" is what is also an important factor in why the feedback was bad.

The addition of anecdotes, and the fact that anything taken even remotely badly is going to result in massive repercussions for the male who was giving advice only to benefit the female. Is providing benefit to another person really so important that one should take a risk? I am not sure.

It is sexist to give feedback, and it is sexist to not give feedback.

----

1. I guess this means I am a terrible human being, I mean I don't really consider myself as sexist or not liking/hating women. I am perfectly happy to work with women, and in general would like more women in tech since the testosterone gets way too high in rooms at times. In general, I never have thought of myself as a person who's sexist.

However, I clearly did indicate a view where based on gender, I would likely choose to make a different decision in certain situations i.e. if I was giving feedback to a female, I would likely be a lot more cautious of my words and frame things so that there was no way for it to be taken badly, or more often, likely not say it because I am socially awkward enough anyway. :P
Nobody working on wage theft by employers, by far the largest organized theft ring running.
Are you repeating something a high school math teacher told you, or are you engaging in some kind of mathematical platonism? Either way, you're going to need an argument.
Sure, mature processes encourage tech stagnation, and discourage even beneficial changes as collateral damage. But, as you say there is line somewhere at which project should move on from "Go fast, ship often, change much and get feature-rich" to "focus on correctness, stable releases, actually maintain our existing features". Perhaps it is really a cycle of both and missing one for the other leads to problems.
If you know the first value is truthy, sure.

x = condition() and [] or True

is not equivalent to

x = [] if condition() else True

Now, I have seen a genuine application of `X and A or B` before. That occurs when you're checking a condition before, say, popping from a list -- but if the list is empty, you still want a default value.
While looking up something, I came across this article (I believe from before Apple's original announcement): https://www.wired.co.uk/article/whatsapp-encryption-child-ab...

It's interesting in that it talks about both server and client side scanning, and some of the things that WhatsApp does.

An interesting fact from the article: in 2020, Whatsapp made 400,000 reports to the NCMEC. Apple: 265
Code generated by magic is worse in my experience, with non-magic code you put a breakpoint where the project starts and you can run step trough it line by line, function by function and it makes sense. What I hate are magic frameworks that are terrible at reporting the issues, say in angular1 you have some bindings and soemtimes they don't trigger , you can't debug the magic strings of the templates in the debugger to see what is happening (it could be a typo but because is all Google dev magic it won't warn you about it).

I hope we are talking about same things, like you dislike creating classes and function explicitly and prefer adding a comment or some templating system that generates a ton of obscure code behind the scenes.
I'm assuming the situation worked out to where she had access to a shower/space to change that didn't add significant time? That feels pretty dependent on the company, office locale, and availability of amenities.
How about nutrient content by mass, or some such measure?

I skimmed the article, maybe I missed it.

Aside: How easy is it to break into computational biology as a, say, practitioner of computational mechanics?
So you say there is no universal truth? Is the mass of the Sun different between English and Hungarian?
React Native web is really all about code sharing between web and mobile in my mind. Say Twitter were to build their website in plain ReactJS, if they did that then there would be no easy way to transfer components from web to mobile, yes they are both written in React, but regular React isn't 100% interoperable with React Native.

This is where React Native for Web comes into the picture, RN for Web patches that gap of interoperability between web and mobile, what Twitter likely has behind the scenes is a custom UI library that provides all the elements you see on Twitter, if they had chosen ReactJS for the web, they would have to maintain two libraries, however with React Native for web, they only have to maintain one.
This is good way to put it.

Another way: copilot is a crutch. It may help you move about but if you get too comfortable with it you are never going to learn to run.
I'm pretty sure in CA it's that police do not respond to calls for anything less than felony theft.

So it creates a situation where you can walk in the store, grab what you want, and then walk out with out having the police called or anyone legally allowed to stop you.
Hey All,

https://github.com/LevelPlayingField

We've built an open source database of consumer and employee arbitration cases. We've also generated summary data pages for each party (defendants, attorneys, arbitrators, etc.). We used Discourse to make a forum that links to each case and allows people to discuss them or tell their story.

A problem we saw while dealing with a personal arbitration was that this data was out there but nobody was making it usable for regular folks. Also, some forums where people were helping each other disappeared, including all of that useful history (FatWallet comes to mind). So we did both.

One of the coolest things you can do is research a company you’re considering filing against or look up the decision history of arbitrators. From there you can find and reach out to attorneys that have gone up against them or similar companies. You can filter by state - though last we checked, arbitration doesn’t require an attorney be licensed in your state.

Here are some example queries (you can also sort some columns):
Here is a query of parties showing who has the highest case count: https://levelplayingfield.io/search?q=is%3Aparty%20&sortBy=c...
Law Firm - Keller Leckner: https://levelplayingfield.io/party/law-firm-keller-lenkner-l...
Party search term “University”: https://levelplayingfield.io/search?q=is%3Aparty%20Universit...
Party search term “Amazon”: https://levelplayingfield.io/search?q=is%3Aparty%20amazon&so...

Here are all of the ways you can filter the data: https://levelplayingfield.io/search-help. We’ve used this as an excuse to experiment with different technologies. Our search syntax emulated Github but may be too difficult for the general public.

Lots of people use the database every day. Our hosting is donated. We’ve been cited in prestigious law journal articles, major news articles, and are reference material at the Yale Law Library =)

There are a lot of interesting untold stories in this data. When we have time or volunteers, we tell stories on our blog (no time or volunteers lately). If you just browse, search words and sort party data by count, you’ll find interesting things… Try it.

The data only becomes available after a case is over. So pending cases do not show up but we invite those with active arbitrations to tell their stories in our forum. Consumer arbitrations are rarely confidential but employment arbitrations usually are. Sharing stories helps the next person, even if it’s five years later. People message us regularly with awesome stories.

We can imagine lots of improvements but lack time. Want to play with new technology in a way that might help people? Make a PR or send us an email. We may be slow to respond but we will get back to you. Promise.

Our real life is https://coManage.com. It’s similar but instead of leveraging idle legal data to help people, we leverage idle property management data to help people. Anyways, that’s another story.

Thanks,
Dan & Frank

> But realistically, how many people will build one of these projects from the source code they obtained from GitHub

They released pre-built files. You download the stock version from steam like normal then unpack the pre-built files over the top replacing some of the original files (Just like many of the mods for these games).
> You can have

Yes you can have proper security. But this is about the Microsoft solution where you don’t, where you can first guess the password and then guess the 2fa code. Which is not very smart, considering it’s not that much harder to check both at the same time and fail when either is wrong.

It works insanely well.
Lol why?

Things are pretty good. A few items are still overly expensive like GPUs and rental cars. But most basics are back to normal.

Why use "fuckloads of capital" to build redundacy just so that toilet paper doesn't become scarce for a few weeks on the next 50 years.
True, but that's the best compromise to me next to open-source / ofl fonts (because let's not forget that fonts are software).

I'm OK with paying for a level of use as long as it's generous and I'm not limited completely arbitrarily.

You'd be surprised by the number of foundries that explicitly forbid sub setting of the fonts (because that makes you an evil hacker I guess?), so you're not allowed to only use Latin on your website, gotta load the whole fucking thing.
The font has weird kerning and you want to fix it? Yeah, not sorry not allowed either.

The restrictions in font licenses are completely ridiculous.
I understand that Microsoft cares a lot about backwards compatibility. I think this is great and they should keep doing it.

Now, I completely understand if some third-party program developed twenty years ago looks inconsistently. I even understand if some recent third party tool also looks inconsistently. But here we're talking about the software that is shipped with Windows and it's created by Microsoft directly. These are examples from Edge, Explorer, Settings, etc. This is more than having a low priority for consistency, this is Microsoft not even considering the possibility of consistency.

I have not tried Windows 11. But I'm baffled to find that in Windows 10, Microsoft still ships parts of its own UI that are not high-dpi ready. They seem to have zero problem showing dialogs with scaled pixelated text.
The point is not that we're idiots who don't know the language, but that functional-style ordering does not align with human cognitive cues.

The problem is that functional-style fails to separate essential bits and fails to give strong visual clues where each bits begins and ends.

That is why the old imperative style is clearer. Compare:

for i in container:
do something with i

and

[do something with i for i in container]

One has a clear separation of loop and action, the other requires scanning for the "for i" in the middle. This generalize to other similar construct, and the Python ternary operator has the same flaw. The imperative if / else version clearly separate alternatives on separate lines.

IMO, syntax design should always try to learn from the imperative style and always strive to produce a syntax that clearly separate each logical item in a compound statement, and using different lines is one of the best for us human to visually grok.

(That's why even Lisper will often format their code to separate bits on different lines!)
>Windows's UI mess is just a reflection of them hiring modern developers

While I agree UI consistency is dead even on MacOS now, personally I believe the Windows issue stems from them being too scared to actually push out full redesigns.

Look how vocal and angry people were when they started redesigning Settings even though most of control panel was designed for sub 800x600 resolutions.

This is why we're stuck with such inconsistency because they can never make sweeping changes without people freaking out, this is why we're stuck with things like that terrible device manager that refreshes the whole view and flickers 3 times when you plug in a USB device.

Really Windows should be pushing out a complete redesign and update of at least 2 of these apps every version. People will scream and shout every time they do but it's the only chance Windows has to completely modernize itself and get it up to par with Mac system tools and standard apps.
You really can only "own" things you have full control. So, ok, if it is rented, I do se why it would have tighter rules. I don't have an issue with that. Still strange to "rent permanently" and still need to follow tight rules that harm no one.
I guess I read that part as “the bio side is ahead of the software side see these synthetic bio manufacturing companies are already big and they don’t use our cool tools”
Training, exactly. But the trained person or AI is not allowed to reproduce your exact code. But Copilot seems to do that from time to time.
Probably. The evidence speaks for itself. Most of the reddit homepage is a hatefest of [ingroup] screaming hate at [outgroup]. It's so toxic as to beggar belief. Facebook and Twitter seems like prim decorum in comparison.
That's a good point. I don't think the felony theft limit is the only consideration the deters organized theft. One obvious difference between Texas and Bay Area is Texas has a lot of guns.

> In TX can You Legally Shoot & Kill a Shoplifter? The short answer is…not unless they somehow injure you in the process of committing the theft, making it a robbery. “During the process of committing the theft” would include while trying to escape with the property... One thing that is UNIQUE to Texas is the ability to use deadly force to protect property, even if you are not in fear for your life.

Even though I doubt CVS security guards are trained the shoot shoplifters, the preception that this is a possibility would deter low level criminals tasked with shoplifting

They did not state that they are changing things to address the concerns. Deploy it now, or deploy it later, it's the same thing being deployed.
Running a purifier does cause noise however, which isn't healthy; assuming your purifier is close by. (No idea at what point those two effects are of similar impact.)
I agree. Direct contact between devs and customers should be unusual, and should be focused narrowly on a particular technical issue the dev is handling.

Everything else, especially big-picture questions such as the general state of a project, is something that should be dealt with by someone else. To do otherwise is unfair to the devs (because it's not their job and perhaps not their skillset), unfair to the customer (because they'll be getting information that may not be entirely correct), and unfair to the company (because it reduces the company's ability to provide accurate information to the customer, it may expose confidential information, and it's burning expensive dev time)
I think OP referred to the finding that Apple already rolled out parts of the detection thing

https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/p6hsoh/p_a...
It seems like it is permissible. The question is whether it is right. In the US at least, employment is generally at-will, meaning they can fire you for basically any reason as long as it isn't discrimination of a protected class. If my employer decided tomorrow to fire anyone who doesn't vote Republican, they can do that. I think it would be unreasonable, but it would be permissable, regardless of whether i had to disclose this going in. But this isn't quite that extreme. Presumably, this is them making a decision based on what they believe is in the best interests for the safety of their overall workforce. Why shouldn't employers be allowed to make decisions that they believe keep employees safe?
I wasn't demonizing anyone. Vaccination is simply not as effective as people would have you believe.
I guess there'd have to be certified editors, which would be trusted to allow only "safe" operations on images (crop, white balance, levels, etc) and would sign the resulting jpegs themselves alongside the signature from the camera.

It doesn't really seem likely at all to work in practice.
define 'real camera', please.
Given the uproar on this change, and the fact that the uproar was big enough to cause this delay, can you imagine the bad press if they come back later and roll this out quietly?

Editing to add: I think this will play out more like the butterfly keyboard debacle. They won’t ever really acknowledge how bad the original thing was, but they’ll return to a solution the community finds palatable (server side scanning), and wrap it up in a bow like they did with the “magic keyboard, now on our laptops”.
Did you try that out in a REPL before posting? You should.

80% of the time if I want to change something in the Windows 10 settings all my time is spent trying to find out which magic words I need to recite and which buttons I need to click to get to the old Windows 7 / XP style configuration dialogs.

As with any scenario, there are exceptions or edge cases, and you've highlighted some, and you've also highlighted that we've addressed it (more than 50 years ago!) via legislative fixes.
