Oh Man! I went down this rabbit hole quite recently and hence have plenty of information (Note: always check reviews first on Jetpens, Amazon and Youtube ;-)

My current favourite is the classic Tombow Zoom 505 series - https://www.tombow.com/en/products/zoom_505/ Not too costly, well made, elegant and professional looking. I have the Rollerball (i.e. water-based ballpoint), Mechanical pencil and Multi-function pen all in Black.

Next up are the "Parker Jotter Originals" for EDC (https://blog.penvibe.com/parker-ballpoint-pens-ultimate-guid...). They are very affordable and hence i keep them everywhere.

Multi-function pens (which have 2 or more ballpoints and a mechanical pencil) are another must have (I limit myself to 2+1). Buy a good professional looking one (eg. Cross/Zebra/Pentel/Rotring etc.) rather than the cheap plastic ones (they look ugly).

Staedtler has a series called "Triplus" which have a triangular body (supposedly more ergonomic) - https://www.staedtler.com/intl/en/products/writing-pens/

Many of the OEMs who actually manufacture the pens but which are sold under other well-known brand names are now releasing them under their own name. Two of them are TWSBI(Taiwan) and Penac(Japan). You should check out their offerings.

If you are a Fountain Pen connoisseur, you should know that India has a large number of Artisanal Specialist Fountain Pen makers - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55314701 and https://www.fountainpenindia.com/

Finally, always check the offerings from Japan (Amazon.co.jp and Jetpens are your goto sites); they make some of the best and most innovative stationery.

It was probably the best you could do in your position, but debounce is a hack to work around EMI and not the actual solution. Ideally, the circuit should be electrically resilient to EMI and the debounce should only be handling mechanical noise from the switch itself and not concern itself with any outside interference.
I tired it, and it's weird that it ask for an email to send the link to the report because the calculation is slow. It should be quite fast.

Moreover I got the link in my (throwaway) email in less than a minute. I think a spinning sign, or other animations should be enough.

I'm not sure if people cares about sunny/not-sunny or sunny/cloudy/rainy.

The free version has to many empty slots with [PRO]. I think it would be better if you show only the sunny/rainy days and has only one big button to upgrade to the pro version.

Anyway, I expect this to be much easier to monetize with ads. People buys a lot or other stuff for weddings, so I guess ads pays a lot. It's harder to convince people to open the wallet and pay $1 to you.

Perhaps you can add a similar site with the same backend about graduations parties of birthday parties. The interesting date interval is smaller.
That you can do functional or OOP in C does not make C either kind of language, it just means that C is flexible enough that you can make the computer do things the way you want it to, no matter what that means, and other languages purposefully prevent you from doing what you might want to do.

C++ is object oriented not because it has compile time support for polymorphism or any of that other bad programming practice, but because classes have code sections that live with them, whether on the stack or in the heap, that can operate only on memory belonging to that instance of the class.

Object oriented programming is a coding style and choice. Some languages make it a first class part of the language design. It is purposefully not part of C.

However you can do OOP like things in C: a popular paradigm is to pass around pointers to structs that (should) live in the heap, and to have a number of functions which work on these structs. This is very similar in practice and mental modelling to OOP as users of C++ might know it, but is distinct in that no code ever lives in the stack or heap, and no code is restricted from operating on any of the program memory.

It would be used to get a warrant to trace the persons online activities and get his/her phone as evidence. This isn't going to be used to send out a SWAT team upon notice from apple.
It is tackled at the very end of the article, but there is a very good and a totally valid use of the comments: answering "why?" questions (as opposed as describing the code).

This propagates to all other advice in this article.

Magic numbers? Comments can be good be useful if they answer "why"

PACKET_SIZE = 32 # Section 3.5.7 of RFC-99999

TODOs? Comments can be good if they answer "why" (as in, "why haven't this been done yet)

# TODO: once #1234 is fixed, rewrite as a binary search (right now it is not supported)

After-update notes? If the action is optional, make it a comment -- this will make upgrading to latest version easier.

# This function is present in libfoo-1.23, but our version is older, so we are re-implementing it here.
It’s interesting to me that the focus of this analysis is handhelds. But what about all the web apps out there that use SQL databases to rowify my data?

Can/should one argue that web apps should be backed by highly indexable/searchable file systems so that when I want to depart a platform I can just ask the backend for my files?
You (and quite a few others) seem to be making some implicit assumptions that are not at all obvious to me:

1. There is not much overlap between people sharing pictures from the database and people sharing new child porn that is not in it.

2. People sharing child porn are a lot more smarter or security conscious than the average person.

Probably because your mechanic isn't actively making your car perform worse, gluing ads onto the body, or redesigning your steering wheel based on the latest fads.
I'm sorry what!? This is how everything works. If you force something to use more ingredients/nutrients/whatever at a faster pace, you will deplete something else in the ecosystem faster than previously.

Plants or otherwise: when you force the balance to tilt one way, you have to be extremely careful not to reach a breaking point.

Just want to add that I think the technology could be really beneficial though. For instance, if you planted less high-yield potatoes in smaller area than previously, you could then afford space for alternate crops and then move potatoes to a different location and counter balance with other crops the next season. This could possibly allow for increased production while still preserving nutrients, increasing overall yield efficiency.
I highly doubt you can actually maintain weight on 800 kcal/day regardless of activity level. That isn't really scientifically plausible. Most people significantly underestimate their caloric intake by not weighing portions or failing to count snacks and beverages.

Pushing it elsewhere is still a win. You don’t want this to have easy cover. Keep in mind FB reported close to 17M pieces of CSAM last year. So if having the ability to detect it was such a deterrent, why are their numbers so high?
This is a big complaint I have about iOS. One day I get a notification telling me that my cloud drive is almost out of space so I go to clean it out using the finder, and I find like 4 empty folders. An hour later I realize I have a bunch of photos synced, but I they're only viewable/removable through the photos app (somehow this includes images that I downloaded). It feels like such a poorly designed system.
I think it's actually impossible to use an AI to determine this type of thing. Even courts of humans sometimes rarely get it wrong sometimes with images that are open for debate (for example missing context) on whether it was abusive or not (parents bathing their kids, as one example). Then you have the whole can of worms that pedophiles will find sexual interest in images taken in non-abusive contexts but will use them none the less. How is an AI supposed to determine that. Even our laws can't handle that.

There's also images that can be abusive if made public but non-abusive if kept private. For example what about a kid taking pictures of themselves nude (many kids don't have parental moderated accounts) and putting them on icloud (iphone does this automatically with default settings).

It's a complete nuthouse and there's no way to do it.

(Also don't get me started on drawn artwork (or 3D CG) that people can create that can show all sorts of things and is fully or partially legal in many countries.)
> Template generated code allows you to modify things if you know how

That's exactly the problem. and because templates allow you to modify the code, the template creators do no work on generalizing it so it covers all the use cases. So, on practice, templates usually require that you modify it.

And now you have a huge codebase, mostly with the default text, but with some changes at random, and one of those changes is breaking it. Good luck finding it.
Really wish I could meet the idiot who closed that bug as WNF. Just know they have some dumb as rocks reason for keeping that behavior.

"The user may want to return to Cortana. WNF"
Yeah that's entirely permissible. My company can move me from engineering to toilet cleaning if they want. I would probably quit because I would think it's unreasonable, but I doubt I'd win any lawsuits. But I'd argue that this bank's decision is both permissible and reasonable.

In this situation, you have three groups of employees. Group A doesn't want the vaccine. Group B gets the vaccine but doesn't care whether Group A does or doesn't. Group C gets the vaccine and also doesn't want to work around people in Group A out of concern for their own safety. The company has to choose to accommodate either Group A or Group C. In this case, they chose the latter. Many companies will choose the former. But I don't see what's unfair about this? Group A might have started with the company with the expectation that vaccine status is private. But Group C might have started with the expectation that the company will take measures for their safety should situations change.

Note: I think it's debatable as to how many restrictions we should have in place because of Covid. But there's no denying that many people want to reduce their exposure to the virus and I don't think it's unreasonable for a private company to accommodate that.
I think it's plausible that they'd offer E2EE for all of iCloud.

They already do it for iMessage, and it makes it easier to turn down subpoenas if they can credibly claim that they can't even access the data themselves.

Likewise, offering an explicit choice also seems plausible. The full E2EE flow might have UX downsides (for example, the user might need to write down a recovery seed phrase on paper), so they might not force all users into that flow.
Yeah this really sucks. Fortunately I'm largely away from the spreadsheet world. My motto is stay as far away from business as you can and have a happy life.

I agree with you in general... yes, waste and distribution should be high in focus... but this would also help?

But could we then grow crops in concentrated places without need for deforestation?

We may let some of the fields lay fallow for a couple of years, and alternate?

Could we transport less because local farms produce more, bringing in carbon and cost savings?
I believe your assessment of the agreement is flawed. Application developers are not our users. You're our tenants. We provide highly available housing for your projects. We keep the lights on, we keep walls standing and we make sure the roof doesn't leak. We also provide APIs for you to interact with. When those things fail, we are responsible. When your code doesn't run in the test environment where everyone else's does, that's not our job. I'll help you but at my convenience because I have other things to do. Of your app fails in the middle of the night, that's your responsibility. If it's an infra problem, then it's on me. We don't ask you to tune the network or balance the cluster or ask you why the daemon sets are failing, right? If this was a shared responsibility, you'd be helping with the core too but I can almost guarantee that's not happening. (Some of my eng peers do but the vast majority think or it as a black box.)
A press release is the exact opposite of sneaking something in.
Re-releasing old games on new systems is pretty common. Crash Bandicoot got re-released on the PS4 for example. So companies are going to hold onto their assets in hopes of being able to cash in on them again.
> to collect input and make improvements before releasing these critically important child safety features

So they are going to do it anyways. They are just dawdling until people get tired of screaming about it.
What their code could actually be used for.

I was so surprised when a really talented dev at my company went to Facebook because of their solid perks. I mean, I get it, but at the same time this person seemingly gave no thought to how evil their new company was.
Funny how the power to stop terrorist content is being used to prevent the free flow of information.
There have been unusually many mushrooms around our house due to an extra wet season, which is making me want to try picking some, but I'm terrified of the risks. Maybe it's just one of those things I should let slide.
Yeah the thing that really got me was the double down. They are not on my side.
While you are correct, this is not what I was referring to.

To be exactly clear, there are actually 4 staging areas within what you referenced as the index. This is indeed a detail most people do not worry about.
well at the end of the day you managed to ship it? Did it cause any big problems down the line? It seems the biggest problem is that it is rotting away somewhere, which to me means that it is working without need to do much care on it.

If they listened to your DBA/ops guys no value would be gettig shipped ;)
Apple delays controversial child protection features after privacy outcry
Taxing as hell. I have personal projects well underway that go unfinished because of tooling complexity or some other issue causing me to completely derail and spend days figuring out some type of in issue that has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm trying to accomplish. Granted, since I have gotten away from visual studio it is much better but I'm t still happens. If it isn't the IDE or package upgrades it's AWS or Azure issues.
I mostly use K8s on VMs[0], and docker the same way. Podman is a just a hobby for me, but I think running Podman in VMs is still the right way to go because it offers you a way of coding distributed systems the same way you can with K8s (with the cool style of systemd and single process containers:))), even if its just your laptop, you could move it to production clusters more easily, because you were forced to think distributed from the start. KinD[1] is also a good option if you can't or don't want to run VMs (but you have to run docker somewhere.. :/). The point is to simulate multiple nodes even when working in development.

> - When reviewing PRs and wanting to check out some surrounding code that is not part of the actual PR.

It's interesting to see how suitable is the IDE for code review for different people. For me, it's usually pretty much overload, since it's focused on writing, not reading. But GitHub is really doing a great job of eliminating the necessity of cloning the branch for the review.

I'm doing a few experiments in this area on a tool called Viezly (example: https://viezly.com/change_requests/3986). Its focus is on dependency and navigation. So it's a light version of IDE-in-the-cloud for these cases of code review.
The central issue was that the algorithm was backdoored in the first place, by NSA.
If pyright were GPL'd then MS would own their own pieces, but the contributions would be owned by others and that would prevent the relicensing you're talking aobut.

MS could pay a dev team to write everything themselves, but it's a matter of cost. Given the choice between paying for a ground-up development for a tiny gain or using the open project, inertia would push toward the open project.

Finally, there's the question of trust.

Why does MS feel the need to lock these things down?

It's obvious now that "Open" was a hook. It killed off all the competitors like Atom or Brackets and even mostly killed off other editors like Sublime. The only question now is the final goal of their lock-in. The only real observation is that all of "the new MS that loves devs" was just more of the classic Microsoft we've known for decades.
If it makes you feel better, you are certainly not alone :-) This might be more your speed:

The NSA actually had their own term for this, NOBUS, which meant "nobody but us". They were fond of attacks that they thought nobody but the NSA could exploit. They were arrogant enough to think they were better than all adversaries.

Where do people get this idea I should trust a company? I should never trust a company. That's nonsense. It's like trusting a lawnmower to watch your hamster.
Generally, the longest term productive areas continually replenish the soil with nutrients due to upstream/uphill prior volcanic activity. So, for example, the Willamette Valley will probably be fertile longer than the center of the US.
Apple may have thought this thorough technically, but politically I find it very unlikely the proposed method is a sufficiently effective scanning.

Sooner or later government and NCMEC will push them to complete the feature (understandably so from their POV), and when they do, Apple will have to expand scanning. Apple may have already been pressured to do so.

Sometimes choosing the middle ground is like choosing to drive on the white line in the middle of the road as a 'compromise' between the lanes.
I've been using Apple hardware for so long now and have been a huge fan. They killed almost all the goodwill they had with me. I no longer trust them, and since their operating systems are closed source, trust is critical. This has been a wake up call. If it's not open source, I don't know what's happening on my devices.

Are we really talking about the same thing? Did your's get hot, heating the pot or pan that way, OR did it stay cold, and heat only the pot/pan inductively via magical magnetics!1!!, which means a piece of paper would not even begin to burn if you'd put it between pot and 'cooking field' when for instance boiling water, making scrambled eggs, or something like that?
