There's no reason you couldn't use gRPC with json as a serialized message format. For example grpc-gateway [0] provides a very effective way of mapping a gRPC concept to HTTP/JSON. The thing is, after moving to gRPC, I've never really felt a desire to move back to JSON. While it may be correct to say "parsing json is fast enough" it's important to note that there's a "for most use cases" after that. Parsing protos is fast enough for even more use cases. You also get streams which are amazing for APIs where you have to sync some large amounts of data (listing large collections from a DB for example) across two services.

With gRPC you also have a standardized middleware API that is implemented for "all" languages. The concepts cleanly map across multiple languages and types are mostly solved for you.

Adding to that you can easily define some conventions for a proto and make amazing libraries for your team. At a previous job I made this: https://github.com/CaperAi/pronto/

Made it super easy to prototype multiple services as if you mock a service backed by memory we could plop it into a DB with zero effort.

I think this "gRPC vs X" method of thinking isn't appropriate here because protos are more like a Object.prototype in JavaScript. They're a template for what you're sending. If you have the Message you want to send you can serialize that to JSON or read from JSON or XML or another propriety format and automatically get a host of cool features (pretty printing, serialization to text/binary, sending over the network, etc).

Well, sure. Any away/active status can be used for bad things. Pretty much any form of text communication can, too. We all opt in and out of things according to our level of comfort, like with the permission prompt this API provides.

Fine amount is a poor measure of compliance, for a few reasons. First, European regulators prefer nudges and strong words before fines. Second, Google is incorporated in Ireland and the Irish regulator is clearly and blatantly sandbagging enforcement against US companies. The fact that they get fined at all is actually pretty damning: France had to twist and wiggle to be able to fine them without involving Ireland, and part of that was limiting the scope of the violations to things touched on by related laws, which is why the fine only covers cookie consent (governed by ePD).

However, several DPAs and local governments have reviewed Google software for their own GDPR compliance. Several of those findings are available online. These findings don't result in fines, because it's not technically an investigation of Google. But it does involve a thorough investigation of the legal issues of using Google's services, and the results are illuminating.

For example, below is a link to a report the Dutch DPA complied on whether Dutch government agencies can use Google Workspace (formerly GSuite). The conclusion is that Google's privacy protection are catastrophically terribad (for a paid product!). It requires linking to a personal account, purposes of processing are not defined, there's definitely processing going on that's not covered by the contract, etc. Google's linking to personal data in a way that cannot be disabled by administrators means they are a Joint Controller instead of a Processor, and it's not possible for them to comply with various obligations because they're too vague about the purposes of processing.

Again, doesn't result in a fine, because they're not be investigated for violations. Someone is just asking "can we use a Google product?" But the results of that research indicate some deep structural problems.

Also that fine that France issued, where they somehow avoided invoking GDPR directly? Still the third-largest GPDR fine on record. So your expectations for fine amounts are a bit off.

I mean, it has fog of war, yes. It's not as good or strict as it could be. I have seen discussions with the devs and they say that if it is more "strict" (ie hiding player positions until they are closer) would be more taxing on CSGO servers, AND would screw with high ping players (they would experience pop-in).

Check out https://edan.gg/defender to see the comparison between CSGO and a better FoW system.
Probably because it seems there's an air of superiority of being better than others for choosing an EV. There are studies that prove owners of hybrids/EV's want their card badges to flaunt they're driving them.

If it were just hey I got this cool EV and I really like it I think people would be less stand-offish. Instead it feels more like "Hey I bought an EV and you're a bad person who wants to kill our planet if you don't get one. I don't care that you do things like bike to work and walk places. If you have a ICE car you're bad, conform now!"

I don't want one, they don't currently meet my needs and I don't live in an urban area that has charging stations everywhere. When I say that I typically get shit on by a bunch of EV enthusiasts in online forums. So, my default response has been tainted by these encounters and I assume most EV owners are this way. I realize I'm not being fair though. I have the same problem with Vegans as well.

If you're referring to the Kext/DriverKit changeover, this is just false - Kexts still work in Big Sur, they're just trying to slowly shift the ecosystem to DriverKit. Nothing has truly changed there yet.

If you're referring to a broken thing within Kexts/IOKit itself, that would be a pretty severe bug that would get attention within Apple. I feel confident saying this as I've reported bugs like this and they get appropriate priority levels.

Lastly, if you're writing (signed) driver code, you generally have access to resources within Apple to get answers to questions. I'm not even a large company and it was relatively easy to get in touch with those teams - and this stands in contrast to other teams within Apple.
Prof Allen Downey published a book called Think DSP:
https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-dsp/

It can be bought, but is available for free. Code is also available via GitHub. It uses Python and Jupyter.

"The premise of this book (and the other books in the Think X series) is that if you know how to program, you can use that skill to learn other things. I am writing this book because I think the conventional approach to digital signal processing is backward: most books (and the classes that use them) present the material bottom-up, starting with mathematical abstractions like phasors."

If we're talking about conditions for Apple employees, could they secure travel to another state for anyone wanting an abortion?

Granted that comes with a substantial can of worms around privacy.

Now that I think about it though, the 'conditions for employees' argument is pretty much just as morally hypocritical as a boycott when you bring China into play.
That is materially different than having your cash stolen from you by a seemingly random person at the airport. One results in a very small probability of it affecting you in any way, the other is someone stealing from you.

Interesting. Is that possible to use Ockam as a replacement for TLS for regular client-server interactions (let’s say REST API)? Usually TLS is terminated at some facade server (e.g. CloudFlare or Load Balancer), and then travel through another TLS session to the end server. This way all data is exposed to middle server(s) that should not be able to read it. Is Ockam capable of solving that problem?
Maybe they can overturn gun laws in the process, as they are also unconstitutional.

In Germany the tax free reimbursed for a day of domestic travel is capped at 28€ for a full 24h day and 14€ for partial days. If any meals are provided by the company (e.g. as part of a dinner with clients) that’s reduced by 20% for breakfast and 40% for lunch and dinner respectively.

For comparison, for San Francisco the rate is 51€.
Medium org just means you can fly in-out folks/reach other target schools.

What are the benefits of having this be the type level? Asking as a reformed purist.
you can see a similar lack of understanding when they use a browser-based test of http/1.1 vs http/2 to justify the improved performance of http/2 for service-to-service communication. what that test is really demonstrating is the fact that your browser hard limits the number of http/1.1 connections it will make much moreso than it limits the number of http/2 connections it makes.

I don't think anyone is arguing against removal of things like HTML forms, which are arguably the only good interactivity that browsers have; and indeed, a lot of "web 2.0" sites worked very well that way, no JS required.

This includes all the web forums, blogs, and even sites like YouTube and Twitter which used to actually work without JS (and were much faster too).

I just (more-or-less blindly, not grokking the actual math behind it) ported the yin algorithm from someone else's implementation this year and tau was defined as a range where tau min is samplerate / freq_max and tau max is samplerate / freq_min where freq_min and freq_max are the bounds of the detection algorithm, at least as I understood it. My port works but I never really understood tau (except as I described) -- if there's a way I can refactor this with a fixed tau that would be very interesting!
Colm is a fairly badass engineer. He was a senior principle when I left. Sounds like they made another level since then and he jumped into VP. Somewhat makes sense as he leads the business in both a technical and business sense. Amazon’s traditional issue is they only know how to level managers. Turns out when the company starts accruing some really senior people you have to accommodate them.

This is a fairly fluffy piece of writing. His internal writings were much deeper.
As I understand it, this problem is due to the worm’s lifecycle and rapid generations. The deworming medication is only effective against the worms themselves, not their eggs. Since the worms lay eggs constantly and hatch quickly it takes several treatments to thin out their numbers and cut off the reproductive cycle.
Exactly. LN is like opening a "tab" in a bar. You ultimately settle on the chain, just like how you settle the final tab on your credit card.

LN is an unnecessary solution to a made up problem. Other cryptos have proved that much much more transactions can be easily processed by merely increasing the blocksize.
Likely it's using keyboard and mouse tracking. I'm not a fan of this at all.

It was not long ago that a 747 crossing the pole had all four engines die at the same moment. After losing tens of thousands of feet of altitude, they got the engines started again.

Rolls Royce (or was it GE?) figured out what exact combination of intake speed, pressure, humidity, temperature, and history caused the failure, and prevented it on subsequent flights. It had been considered (!), but they thought it would never be encountered on any real flight. The engines restarted because, at lower altitude, conditions were different enough.

The pilots found the event distressing. It is possible most passengers didn't notice.
Yea, it’s a signal that works both ways. I’ve met a handful of new arrivals from New York and California who want to get to Texas because it’s a red state (and there’s a perception that homes are cheap).

Abbott is doing this because he wants the Republican Presidential nomination, and to do that he has to fend off the not-insignificant number of right wingers who want to primary him due to some of his early actions during the pandemic.
You've simultaneously demonstrated a misunderstanding of my comment, and - correct me if I'm wrong - answered my question.

My comment is not about specific vendors and their actions. My comment is only about wondering when, in your mind, is a valid time for people to complain; a philosophical question. That's why the question is broad - is it OK for people to complain about vendors who have yet to take action?

Your comment just now suggests that, yes, contrary to your post complaining about complainers, you likely think it's fine to complain to/about vendors who haven't taken action you'd like to see taken.

Careful – this would also entail midnight UTC happening during the waking hours of quite a lot of people (everybody not living near wherever your new meridian ends up). If you keep the calendar date coupled with UTC, this consequently means that the calendar date changes during the waking hours, which I suspect will end up terribly confusing – for almost everybody, the natural term of reference will still remain the solar day, and so having one solar day split across two calendar days isn't exactly intuitive.

Plus anything that currently is only specified at the granularity of days would need to start being specified with exact starting/ending hours, because otherwise you'd end up with strange things like public holidays starting and ending at 11 o'clock solar time, because that's where midnight UTC happens to lie at your location. Or of course you could make a local law that anything that's specified at the granularity of a day or coarser is presumed to happen at a certain UTC time which corresponds to a more sensible value for midnight based on the local solar time, which means basically reintroducing time zones through the back door…
But the Supreme Court pretty much already declined to hear the case, in a 5-4 decision.

Well, I did a thorough marked analysis, weighted pros and cons and...

...no, I really just wanted a good notes app that had all the features I wished for. So I went ahead and got started (not done yet :). That was 3 years ago. 2 years ago I wrote an importer and transferred all my notes over from the app I was using at the time and have been using my own app ever since. And I plan to use this for the rest of my life to save the things I learn(ed) along the way. That's why the focus on data-longevity.

I think you don't see a lot of this in Europe, Africa, or Asia because 'indigenous' in this context implies that the people who were there 'first' have been replaced by people who came from somewhere else. In Europe especially, this mostly happened before recorded history, and the borders of cultures and nations have changed so many times since then, it's hard to point to any one group as 'indigenous' in those areas.

In Africa, while there was a lot of colonization, in most places the indigenous people were not displaced (and replaced) to the extent that they were in Europe, Australia, or the Americas, so whoever built this map has probably not spent as much time documenting them.

And finally, I put quotes around 'indigenous' and 'first', because for the most part this is a map of the groups of people who were most recently replaced; before the map of tribes in the Americas you see in the link, there were larger cultures/empires that rose and fell (Inca, Aztec, Maya, Mississippian, etc).
I push both out to my users. Most people don't us FF but they're getting whether they like it or not ha ha.
> the only conclusion that you can draw is that they (again, correctly) disagree with how the state of Texas treats it’s citizens, but agree with how China treats it’s citizens.

This is hardly the only conclusion you can draw. Another is that Apple (correctly imo) sees that they have a lot of influence over the law in Texas, and none at all in China.
If the Steam Deck gets a large enough user base, Epic will absolutely try to make a native, seamless store for Linux (at least the distribution running on Valve hardware). Hopefully sooner than later because, after all, the more users that have access to their store the more $$$ they make.
Your characterization of racism as a "belief" is alarming.

What word would you use for something someone believes is true, even if it isn't? I'm having a really hard time imagining what's wrong with the word "belief" here, to talk about the state of someone's mental expectations of the world.

Racist people don't magically become unbiased in the workplace.

People can and do change, and most of them can compartmentalize in the mean time. "Racist" is not a fundamental, unchangeable attribute of a person, and it's too easy to scope creep once you've got the weapon of ostracism and censorship ready at hand. No matter how wrong they are, we can't just permanently deny people access to jobs and public life. That makes them martyrs.
Amazon has long had a VP-level engineer track (Peter Vosshall was the first IIRC). Colm is very rightly one.
I think they are replying to the currency printing hypothetical not the 125,000-dollars-stolen-from-me hypothetical.
Do you supposed it is possibly more true for ads? There's "well, technically, yes" and then there's "which is the more realistic threat, an ad network or the JavaScript that the NYT serves up?"
The problem is see with repairing sneakers is that the quality of the sneakers vs long lasting shoes is very different. When it comes to sneakers I extend their life a bit with shoe goo when a certain part of the sole (outer heel for me) wears out too fast but the rest of the shoe is still in good condition. My horrible pattern of walking wears out sneakers's heels in about 2-3 months and shoe goo extends their life a bit more beyond that, but after less than a year most sneakers turn mushy, stinky, and generally unpleasant so I wouldn't want to fix them beyond that point.

When it comes to classic shoes, I'm wearing a pair of shoes that I've had for 6 years. They are still in great shape though I still have to take them to a cobbler once a year for a heel replacement. They still have plenty of life in them so a 10-15 yearly update is well worth it.
Especially when one party seemingly champions “civil rights” or “the little guy”, and the other party champions “small government”. And yet a government employee stealing someone’s cash with no justification does not fall under any of those categories.
Say what you actually mean rather than just invoking a nebulous condemnation of "privilege".

The information on the web used to be of much higher quality. Within the first page of search results you'd usually find a no-nonsense website full of painstakingly curated information. Who had the means to access that information is orthogonal to its quality.
Think for yourself but not like that.

I would argue that Apple is one of the companies with enough money to do WTF they want to do. So, as you point out, they ARE doing what they want to do and hope people take words over actions. The key will be if they have hiring problems as they're not going to have marketplace problems.
Gawande mentions the checklist libraries of different manufacturers. I've checked the references (and parts of the citation graph) but didn't find anything about them. The closest were NASA's standards about the typography and structure of flight deck checklist. Does anybody know about how are checklists managed in the real word? How are they stored, retrieved and most importantly updated, when something changes? Not theoretically. from first principles, but like, at the manufacturer?
Guessing he had a few people fired from their 100k jobs for only generating a mil in profits for the company and thus being a drag on the metrics.
I agree with what the EU is doing at a high-level, it doesn't make sense that Apple releases a new adapter so frequently when better open standards exist (USB C vs their proprietary thunderbolt).

It seems short sighted to tie the legislation to any piece of tech that might be iterated upon in the future. Perhaps the legislation should just be use an open standard rather than a proprietary one and stop it there. Android devices will be able to copy Apple chargers and the ecosystem will naturally sync, reducing waste and allowing my Apple friends to borrow my Android charger.
> the law is plainly unconstitutional

Can you show me, from the text of the constitution, why this law would be unconstitutional?

Our president says that the law is an "assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade". However, the constitutional doesn't guarantee _anything_ under Roe v. Wade. RvW was used as the impetus to allow something which the law in many state explicitly forbid.

The democrats know this and this is why other states have passed abortion laws of their own (like NY) because they know that legally abortion isn't constitutional.
That's because there is a widespread perception that if someone is engaging in a large scale cash transaction then there must be something shady going on even if there is no direct evidence of it (because legitimate business is transacted using checks or wire transfers). This is especially true if the person carrying the cash has dark skin. (Having a criminal record didn't help either in this case.)
