So wait, you were finally able to.... pay for something online? That's possible for how long now? 30 years?

You compared process of one specific app with process of some other app. Yes, some apps are harder to register for, some are easier. Some want more info about you, some less. That again is nothing new. I can create app like icy.tools without collecting any usual personal info with normal web technologies also. No need for blockchain. I can also setup some payment method which doesn't collect that much personal info. So that also really isn't novel.

Regarding the anonymity - you always leave some trace. Even with blockchain. Yes, you can mix something but if someone really wants to get to you with enough effort he will.

And this traceability will only increase. Now it's like this because these services aren't regulated anyhow. Normal companies and payment options are heavily regulated and that's why they demand more info from you. Because they have to if they want to make business legally. And if i don't care about making business legaly, i can do it now also and i don't need to collect anything. So that again isn't anything novel.
It would not be "morally bad". It has just hastened the timeline for everything losing meaning (thousands/millions/billions of years from now -> now).
The answer isn't socketed but high quality capacitor ( Solid or Tantalum etc ) . Swollen capacitor should really be a thing of the past.

Unfortunately Capacitor is an area that is easiest to cut cost and has no immediate effect on the devices function and are hard to spot. Part of the reason why I switch over to Mac ~20 years ago. I dont want to spend time looking at every capacitor on a motherboard or to gather enough information on all these details. That was before the time when Capacitor marketing on motherboard was a thing.

I also wonder this. "Unused parameter in function" is one of the most basic warning/linting checks. I'd be interested in finding out how this managed to reach release.
Air versus ground is a major factor. In the early days, we targeted whole cities with air bursts, relying on a WWII mentality to warfare. Then, as we gained the ability to target specific military installations, which simultaneously became more hardened, we moved to high ground bursts, then impact bursts, which pretty much means a huge mess. We can easily dig a hole in the ground 60 meters deep, but that means a staggering amount of debris high in the air, some of which will be radioactive.
It came with batteries too. You had to manually install more packages into GNU Emacs to get what xemacs had already.
If the PR is from a fork, then a repository maintainer needs to approve it. By default this is for first-time contributors, but is configurable https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/ap...

It's also a nice Haiku platform - https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/my-progress-on-real-risc-v-ha...

However, the "HiFive Unmatched HW Reference Manual" mentioned on the SiFive web page (https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unmatched) is still not available, so bare-metal programming (or porting other operating systems) requires lots of Linux code reading.
For one thing: emotion. El Salvador previously depended on the USD and generally I assume those kind of countries do not like to depend on a currency controlled by a 'big neighbor'.

But better: now the authorities can instantly see all financial transactions? Using their special app (El Salvador) which connects each ID to a BTC address makes it possible to know exactly who is doing what and where. Yes BTC can be used to pay taxes. But much more important they can now probably see much better how much taxes should be paid in the first place. This might schrink the dirty money part of the economy immensly.

The last desktop app I wrote was in Delphi 5, so I guess it was around 20 years ago. Back then my impression was that it's already a done deal, desktop is no more - so I'm a bit surprised that someone waited until 2017 to write this text?

Actually last few years I think desktop is having a bit of a come back with a plethora of cross-platform tools like electron becoming more usable and popular...

> When you create an Amazon EKS cluster, the IAM entity user or role, such as a federated user that creates the cluster, is automatically granted system:masters permissions in the cluster's RBAC configuration. This access cannot be removed and is not managed through the aws-auth ConfigMap. Therefore it is a good idea to create the cluster with a dedicated IAM role and regularly audit who can assume this role. This role should not be used to perform routine actions on the cluster, and instead additional users should be granted access to the cluster through the aws-auth ConfigMap for this purpose. After the aws-auth ConfigMap is configured, the role can be deleted and only recreated in an emergency / break glass scenario where the aws-auth ConfigMap is corrupted and the cluster is otherwise inaccessible. This can be particularly useful in production clusters which do not usually have direct user access configured.

Emphasis mine.
Most linters and editors would highlight this. Also, if one writes test, one of the test cases should fail.

This is just a typo, not really a quality ad for some code quality monitor.
>I see it from the somewhat opposite view and that is that conservatives in the US at least are so easily manipulated to the point where a seemingly large portion of them now believe democracy isn't working for them and you see this bubbling over at incidents like the attempted insurrection of Jan 6.

Could you explain why you think it is an insurrection? I tend to think of insurrections as things that involve a lot more violence, the only violent death was from police killing a protester, the rest were heart attacks from walking too much.

By "from the start", I meant "from the first public release", sorry for the confusion.

Of course initial version was written in Go, but it was never released.
Not very funny one. The astrologer says only that he won't be able to produce any more children in the future. There is the implication that the kids might die and he will be childless as the initial prediction implies.
The app that kills Photoshop will run on Electron. Figma has 100% convinced me of this, if you can make an app where the UI remains responsive and fluid like Figma and graphics heavy lifting is done in a way that doesn’t choke the UI I think you’ll pretty much eat their lunch like Figma did to Sketch, Illustrator and XD.

You have to remember that Photoshop is pretty poorly optimized for modern hardware, a ton of it is single core constrained and they just haven’t cared about regressions, on Windows at least the whole app chokes for a second every time you drag the window around, it’s laughable.

No more plastic wheels to spin like a sliderule. Want to take out a target? What's your weapon system's CEP (Circle of Equal Probability)? How is the target built, that is, how much overpressure to destroy it, and how deeply buried is it? Now choose a weapon. If it'a high-priority target, aim more than one weapon at it.

> Health care systems that are funded by taxation ie pre-paid, in my view, escape those problems and encourage end of life scenarios that are more likely to be better (for a given value of better)

It remains a serious criminal offence in the UK to assist in suicide (suicide itself hasn't been a crime for decades).

> I think that I am very lucky to have the UK's NHS to care for me. We pay for it nominally via a second income related tax called "National Insurance" - we also have a country wide "Income Tax".

That is utterly incorrect. National Insurance is not ring-fenced; the money goes into the government's revenue pool, same as Income Tax. It can then be spent on weapons, wars, or subsidies for fossil-fuel industries.

NI is just a wheeze to allow governments to increase taxes on income without appearing to raise the rate of Income Tax. There's a reason the rate of NI has never gone down.

[Edit] I appear to be wrong: NI income doesn't go into the "general pool", at least not directly (it seems to be complicated).

NI is an obnoxious tax. It is capped; earnings over about £900 pw are untaxed. Pensioners are untaxed. So the burden falls most-heavily on less-well-off working people (the less you earn, the greater proportion of your earnings goes in NI).
Gitlab isn’t supported by the enterprise, so I basically have to maintsin the whole thing myself. We also don’t have a license, so it’s missing some much needed features.

Apparently it’s still better than Github though xD
> The point of insurance is to amortise risk.

I don't think so. Insurance doesn't amortize risk for the individual (though it amortizes risk for the pool). Say you have a 1 in 1.000 years of your house getting destroyed in an earthquake; this means you most likely will never get a payout in a 50-60 years period.

If you pay 1 in 500 odds (the insurance makes money), you can never amortize this risk over your lifetime. However, such an event might be too catastrophic for you to bear, so you go with the insurance. I mean, some people are going to go through earthquakes/fires every year. So for society, as a whole, you are better off being insured.

> In the case here for apple care, I'm not sure. What apple charges for repairs almost definitely has markup, so it's possible that they can provide insurance that averages out below the expected "cost" of repairs but still makes apple money. So maybe it is actually a win-win. Definitely makes sense to add it all up and see if you're getting value for money.

That's Apple care for you. It certainly doesn't cost the markup that Apple's is asking for. But for people who are too deep into Apple, it provides them into a window of staying Apple compliant. People who do not care about Apple Care might be the one who needs it the most, but Apple might know that which is why they put a price on it. (this is solely my assumption).
I mean...they are idiots generally. That doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to them, but you have to calibrate your approach to that mindset.
What you didn't include: the data gathering and the ads. tons of ads. I interacted with smart TVs before, but when i pay for it and it displays me ads in the UI, its an instant return. I'll have none of that shit.

And don't get me started on weird bugs that i can't even fix myself. Stuff like my dad's TV randomly outputting 1-2 seconds of audio of the last selected sender /while being turned off/. Audio only, with the screen turned off. Just a few moments. Nightmare fuel when its dark and you are sleeping in the same room.
I mentally bucket Server-side request forgery separately from Client-side request forgery because of who it impacts.

- With SSRF, I'm tricking your server-side system into requesting and returning to me something it shouldn't (local/intranet files, local/intranet network responses, the EC2 instance metadata endpoint). As a developer, SSRF can leak my app/infra/data/secrets to an outside attacker

- With CSRF, I'm tricking a legit user into performing an authenticated action an existing application allows. Much closer to automated click-jacking.

Ah yes, new in April: https://github.blog/2021-04-22-github-actions-update-helping...

I can't find anything on configuring it though, that only mentions for first-time contributors as you say. I have a 'contributor' badge for pretty minor contributions to all sorts of projects, doesn't necessarily mean they should trust me any more than a first-time contributor! (I can be trusted! I just don't think my contribution to some of them is too much of a barrier for a malicious actor...)
The Astrologer is pointing out that since the guy can't have any (more) children, he should take good care of the ones he has.

It's also possible that this is a bad translation from Latin, and the original punchline was along the lines of "take a good look at them" (i.e., implying that he's not the biological father).
Yes, of course :facepalm:. (Or rather, 'Bwian'!)
I had to go to the github then to https://owasp.org/ to figure our what the heck OWASP even stood for!

The first source use the word "probably" to describe the impact and there's no mention of how large an impact is found

Second article lists it as a "potential cause"

Third article defines it as a "possible cause"

I have a hard time seeing how "the science is unequivocal in that the impact is significant, not negligible.", from the articles presented.

What I read is that EMR is a possible cause among many, like known contributors such as loss of habitat and pesticide use, but there further research is needed.

This is not the same as saying it's not possible that the effect is true - there just isn't enough evidence to support a definitive conclusion on the impact at this point.

I'm not an environmental scientist, so I don't have the required knowledge on the current state of research in the area. There might be newer research that is solid enough to warrant making a definitive statement, but what I read in these articles definitely does not.
I think it can be understood in two ways: the other one is that the astrologer hints that the children may not be his.

What's with radon mentions here and at AirGradient pages? Where would that come from, is this a US thing? Reminds me of 'asbestos-free cereal' xkcd joke.

EDIT:

> Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Nationally, the EPA estimates that about 21,000 people die each year from radon-related lung cancer. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths.

You gotta be kidding me, that's wild.

I don't think that's the reason. Webapps got widespread when the Internet was still mostly consumed on the Desktop, which essentially meant Windows.
The main reason in my opinion is ease of distribution: it has always been painful and full of friction for the end user on Windows, and the web made it much easier.

You can see how on mobile platforms, where app distribution is not a big problem, native applications are still doing well.
A cap like that would just incentivize listing higher and offering a steep discount.

From what I hear from other parents, the PBS Kids app is a great space where parents can trust kids and has decent content. YouTube Kids is a garbage wasteland and regular YouTube needs diligent monitoring for young kids. I find the app silos and bespoke UX (and behavior of things like offline viewing) of Netflix, Disney+, et al inscrutable for kids and some adults. I also think cable and TV manufactures helped push away young kids with their poor UX. "Back in my day" you turn on the TV you get a picture, you change the channel and instantly get another picture (admittedly, I did grow up with tuning into stations with an antennae)--but cable has been terrible for decades. Turn on the TV, turn on the cable box (and maybe stereo, too), make sure the correct input is selected, click to the next channel and wait 3-5 seconds. Good luck explaining that to the babysitter or parents staying over. They usually just use their phone.

I feel like PBS Kids has been doing a decent job. I also think NPR has done similarly well with podcasts--but I'm not sure how mainstream that is. Maybe BBC transitions to only documenting cultural milestones? I was just watching a BBC recording of Oscar Peterson from the 70s yesterday. I don't know if people like him were as popular as "shitty sitcoms in the 80s," but I'm glad someone was sponsoring and preserving these performances.
GHA tokens can be scoped, see https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/authentication-...
Yeah, probably because I never watch YT on the app, usually casting via Chromecast to a projector.

YT now has their "shorts" as well that they're desperately trying to push to fill the gap that TikTok (well actually Vine) has created. But their big mistake was only allowing people to watch shorts on mobile...
I came here to say this. Whether you take out AppleCare or just take repair costs on the chin: Apple is probably walking away with a decent chunk of cash because the cost of repairs are so high relative to the cost to them - even in the case where a "repair" is actually a replacement.

As most repairs (screens for example) are capped within the AppleCare period and carry an excess I think the only situation where Apple doesn't make a profit is when breakages and faults are solely their fault and a result of poor engineering. As we all know, they are terrible at admitting fault in these instances because what it could cost them is mind-boggling.

The other point I took from this post is how increasingly fragile these devices are. Aside from a pre-unibody 17" MacBook Pro that regularly fried it's components, all my iDevices have been pretty reliable and sturdy. That said my iPhone 7 Plus suffered a smashed screen from far less abuse than my 4S did. Equally my wife's new 12 Mini seems even more prone to damage than the 7 Plus.

If I was repairing or replacing devices as much as he seems to be (particularly headphones) then I'd be reconsidering my purchasing preferences. You wouldn't buy a car where where misfires and free replacements are expected (as with most AirPods and crackling issues) - you would find an alternative.
Do not worry, they are on the wrong side of history.
Nothing, maybe I was unclear. My point about recursion was that it was hard for students just starting university to understand.
It all goes back to the Vietnam War, and Nixon trying to crack down on the subculture of hippies that seemed to be the source of much political contest for him.
>Why isn't everything the BBC has ever made available on a streaming service for license free payers?

1. Rights issues. The BBC doesn't actually own the bundle of exclusive rights to a lot of the content that they commission. The rights belong to the independent production companies that actually make the shows.

2. Regulation. The BBC has often been blocked by regulators from having a comprehensive SVoD service other than for catch-up, because it was seen as a threat to commercial entities (like Netflix).

3. Missing archives. Not so much an issue these days, but historically archiving was not a priority, at all. Many programmes were broadcast and then forgotten about. There are episodes of classic Doctor Who which are just lost to time now, for example.
