My experience deleting Facebook has been strange. Maybe I didn't do it right, but I have continued to receive "sign in with 1-click" emails, and at one time I was notified somewhat disconcertingly that someone had memorialised me.

I don't find a problem with WhatsApp.
The USA is an extremely different country than when founded and the founders wouldn’t recognize it today.

We don’t number our republics but it’s clear they have taken dramatic changes at various times from Hamilton (Federalism) to Lincoln to New Deal Roosevelt, each era transforming American politics and the role the government plays in people’s lives.

We share the founding myth of the country (this is important - you need a shared foundation) but the country has faced dramatic transformation at various times from loose confederation of independent states to global empire with concentrated federal power.
Some figures to provide some perspective on the wild numbers thrown around in other comments. Recommended daily doses for adults for some vitamins are:

• Vitamin A: 5,000 IU (upper limit of 10,000 IU)

• Vitamin D: 600 IU

• Vitamin E: 22.4 IU
That’s good news at least.

No. This is not reasonable to say, because exercise does not "work wonders". It works a little and it makes you feel a little better, that is it.
Also interesting that grassland can in some cases like California be better co2 sinks than trees.

This is so strange, no one in my social circle uses WhatsApp or has ever asked me to use it to talk to them. It’s all iMessage, Snapchat, and a growing group of people on Signal.

Thanks, I'd also like to point-out that 40 years is a long time in relation to the more recent FB algo changes that reordered timeline in order to increase engagement.
Indeed, but I'm not really holding my breath that Uganda is going to change its laws any time soon. Not much you or I can do about this, so education is the next best thing that can make a meaningful difference.
It is weird in the context of "modern thought," which is ironic perhaps, but it's not unusual... historically speaking.

Once you have generations of commentary, commentary on commentary, past crisis-resolution precedents, etc.... At this point you have a body of "jurisprudence." This is a lot like jewish torah, or most major schools of islamic jurisprudence. A rich one will contain enough examples, rationalisations and counter rationalisations that a very wide range of arguments can be made within the framework.

We like to think of ourselves as rational and rationalistic. rational principles with rational conclusions. The generation of America's founding fathers, and the French revolutionaries was particularly hubristic in this regard. Peak Enlightenment, rar!

But real life society doesn't work this way. We evolve. We make judgements instinctively, incorporating lots of conflicting anecdotes, principles and half principles. We create exception cases etc. A body of jurisprudence can act as a formal, social version of this. It's like a history of ideas.
Thank you, something about this didn't make total sense to me.

They care about their own kids more than they care about abstract faceless millions of other kids on FB. Moral bankruptcy starts when they harm other kids in order to put food on a table for their own children.
I would not be surprised if some of the FB's employees ban their kids from using it.

Anyone have some good links to articles about the consequences of higher temperatures?

Personally I dont think we will able to reduce the co2 growth before 2030-2040 since population in developing countries will increase their energy consumption while the west might decrease theirs but in total the energy consumption is going to increase. It takes a while to change from 80% of energy from fossil fuels to 0.
What will be interesting, and telling, to watch will be who joins him. If some high profile government people join him in the Forward Party, then Yang doesn't need to be great at management or politics, he just needs to light the fire and find the kindling.

There's enough other higher profile politicians across federal, state, and local politics who don't fully align with either major party today. If even just one of them publicly joins Yang, I think that'll be enough to justify the last few years of his efforts and it will encourage others to join him, too.
Same here, I’ve never even heard someone I know say the word “WhatsApp” in my life.
Twitch source code leaked by anonymous hacker
What does "hacking of secure devices" even mean? A device that can be successfully hacked is by definition not secure.

If you want to tackle this issue, get the pornography legislation done with, prosecute distribution of images without consent (with safeguards not to stifle legitimate journalism) and educate people not to create their own kompromat - a nude picture that has not been made cannot be leaked.

> (e.g. if you have multiple applications writing to your database in transactions then you're virtually guaranteed to get deadlocks).

That assumption is only true if the DB is continually used by different applications. The reality is more likely a large number of applications used by a relatively small set of users, so most of the time there won't be any application writing, and it would be extremely rare for multiple applications to write at the same time.

I think the implication of the party name is actually that America is moving backwards and needs to change direction. Hopefully the new direction is one that puts civilization on a sustainable path.
How many other sites of this size have had breaches of this magnitude (financial, source code, database etc.)? This seems enormous.
Why doesn't apply here? Just because you have the intelligence and access to education to become a well paid professional doesn't mean there's a career out there that you're going to love. And as another poster also pointed out that it's not all or nothing, there's a lot of middle ground. You can have actively chose this career without 'loving' it.

Personally I find understanding how software and technology works really interesting (I enjoy understanding how 'things' work in general). I also find programming tasks reasonable engaging, if very frustrating at times. They're not my favourite type of problem solving but it's fun. So Software is a reasonably interesting profession and it comes with good money, plenty of opportunity and lot of flexibility.

That said if I had enough money to retire I'd happily leave it and stop programming. My curiosity is largely satisfied and there are other things I'd rather spend my time doing, such as acting, running or studying one of the countless other subjects that interests me. But it's hard to impossible to make a good living doing those things so I keep working as a software engineer and do those things in my spare time. And that's fine. As I say it's moderately interesting and definitely better than most of the alternatives. And I do take pride and interest in my work. But I don't love it and while my career is up there on my priority list it's never going to be top.
How to Create a Messaging Application from Scratch in 2021

Honestly, OTC quantities vary depending on what is legal where you live. It has been 8-9 years since I lived in the US but nevertheless: At the time, you could buy 1000-2000iu strengths. I worked at a large pharmacy chain and stocked vitamins weekly.

Then I moved to Norway. One strength is sold in most stores - 400iu per tablet. You might be able to buy stronger in the pharmacy, but I had to have a prescription for a higher strength when I had low levels.

And to be fair, 2 of those store tablets keeps my levels high enough. So while 400 might be inadequate, 800 certainly isn't. Even without enough sunlight: I literally cannot get enough during the winter because the sun simply isn't strong enough when it happens to be up.
I never tried FogBugz but I heard good things about it, similar to what you've written. It's surprising it didn't catch on more if it's that good? I mean, I suppose it could still catch on, the product still exists as far as I know.

I assume you're in the US. In most of Europe Whatsapp is the main communication platform. SMS is dead and Android is more popular than iOS, so no iMessage either.
Actually the GDPR is very clear about this.[0] Instead of setting an arbitrary limit, it says it should be the shortest period necessary in the context of other laws and requirements. So if you need to keep the records for 5 years for tax reasons, you should delete them after 5 years.

CockroachDB, I heard the dev experience of spinning up nodes can be dumbed down to 1 or 2 docker commands, and it's Postgres compatible, continues to have global transactions, although you wont get the same transaction performance as something GPS/clock hardware synced like Spanner, it's still a good self hosted solution.

If you're interested, CRDB writes a lot about how they do their transactions on their blog, it's good to know what guarantees you actually get with your DB's transactions.

Twitch is not porn. It's maybe a gateway to onlyfans, but you cannot have sexual content on twitch.

Even YouTube allows more nudity then twitch.

So yes, there are girls wearing bikinis and underwear on camera, but that's as far as it goes.
Understandably, people who don’t use WhatsApp, don’t think it’s weird that other people don’t use WhatsApp.

People who do have WhatsApp, probably have it, because most of the people they know have it.
Here in UK, like everywhere else, Vitamin D dosage is measured in IU.

You probably never noticed it, or your pills have low-strength dosages (400 IU), which are quite common to find in pharmacies, and personally I don't even bother with those.
It's not that eccentric, it's a basic forum, recognizable to any web oldhead or Reddit user.

I mean, 4chan's design is far more eccentric and they're not exactly a bastion of high quality intellectual discourse.

Also, this discussion isn't really about the site's design, but its performance.
> Twitch is aware of the breach, the source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday.

Does that mean that Twitch has very poor security systems that the entire infrastructure and data of Twitch was breached and it all fell into the hands of this so-called hacker?

Compared to the Epik breach weeks ago, this one is a lot worse.

I don't know what the point around this breach is for but surely the so-called hackers that have done this have now made matters worse for all Twitch streamers now. That was Part 1.

Waiting for what is in Part 2.
This is a wonderful overview for slightly technically literate reader.

I'm wondering if there is room for a kind of magazine that's focused much more heavily on data than narrative, filled wit such articles.
You can already disable the linux memory overcommit feature if you want linux to never allow more memory to be allocated than exists. However, you may run into problems with programs which rely on the ability to allocate more memory than they need, or if you computer has low amounts of memory.
Eh as someone also in the UK this seems false. If you check the packaging it will (in my experience) always give you the dose is IU. I know someone recently prescribed Vitamin D, and again, it was a specific dose. If you take it as part of a multi-vitamin dosage may not be made as clear.

The NHS provides some guidance on doses here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-...

Technically, no. This is someone who engaged in criminal activity and got caught. That her being caught was only possible because of another criminal activity is irrelevant.

This is a lot like a politician being corrupt, but proof of corruption was only distributed after someone broke into his house and stole some files. We would not say that "don't engage in criminal corruption" would be victim blaming, would we?

We can argue about if it is fair to have a law against making nude photos of yourself. We can argue whether we need to prosecute the hacker community more. But we also need to acknowledge that if you don't want to have legal trouble, do not do potentially criminal activities.
It is not a program. It is a hardware design tuned to be efficiently mapped onto the primitives/resources in the specific FPGA fabric of the target devices. I'm fairly sure the actual source code is far from little. But the number of resources needed is quite low.

Given a clock and access to memory it will execute programs.
It would depend on individual ability to metabolize D3 and amount of outdoors sunlight and the extent that local food is fortified with D3. So everyone's situation is unique.

I'm confident that 2,000 IU daily is safe, though.

I handled Mark's rambling post like many others similar to it, I reported it as 'false news - politics' (in this case^) and then sent a message to the author politely detailing why.

^ After niceties I started with a quote from his post which was false and the the explanation from reliable news sources of why it was 'false news - politics.'
> After writing a few lines of code (3 to 6 lines, a short block within a function), re-read them.

That's insufficient in a lot of codebases in a lot of languages. Addition of a few new "locally-correct" lines can break something else in a completely different part of the code.

A trivial example: You've had a correctly-working program, you change a value of a field using correct calculation, and your program becomes incorrect — because other function elsewhere assumed this value won't change.

To avoid this you'd need to re-read the whole program after introducing any change, and that gets exponentially harder.
Maybe you should also stop being nude at home since an image of you could be captured by a satellite or a drone. It's also probably better to use aluminum shower curtain as those cameras could be equipped with thermal imaging.

I'm exactly one of these people you're referring to. For some reason people around me tend to thing I am much smarter than I am.

And the few times I mention it, people laugh.

The reason the OOM killer never kicks in is because you actually never run into an OOM, or almost never.

What usually happens is that in near-OOM conditions, the kernel starts reclaiming memory pages backed by file (sometimes called "trashing"). This operation manages to keep some extra memory available, but it makes the system almost unresponsive because it's constantly copying memory back and forth from the disk. It may take anywhere between minutes to hours before the system finally OOMs and the OOM killer is invoked.

This problem has been there forever but has been made worse by the improved speeds of modern storage technologies: with slower disk I/O, the OOM condition was reached sooner.

There are several solutions:

- Buy more RAM: if your system routinely goes nearly OOM something is not right.

- Add a (small) swap. It doesn't have to be a partition: nowadays most filesystems support swap file. Just create an empty file and mark it as swap.

- Limit the amount of thrashing or protect some pages from being reclaimed. This has been proposed by Google first and several other people since then, but AFAIK it has never been implemented in the mainline kernel.

Regarding the latter solution, there is a patchset called le9-patch[1] that is included in some alternative Linux kernels and it should be relatively safe to use.

Twitter does it rather well, and that’s a site where it’s difficult and matters.
The situation is quite interesting here.

- Imagine, you're living outside of USA/UK/Europe.

- Formally, it's possible to proceed with "Permanently delete my account".

- You will even receive email assuring you that two weeks later profile would be completely deleted.

- Then, couple years later you'll occasionally seen email from facebook that someone tried to log in into your ("permanently deleted") account.

- You'll try to log in, probably restore and change the password among the way.

- And after that you'll be successfully logged in. And the profile's state would be like nothing changes. Nothing. Completely.

- You'll contact Support. Seriously? They'll ignore you.

- Maybe some interaction with 3rd-party websites triggered
cancellation of the process, you thought.

- Then, you'll implement blacklist just to avoid any interaction with facebook, something similar to: https://pastebin.com/FAV2f9eA and try to repeat the flow again.

- Then another 2+ years later situation will repeat again. Deja-vu. And again. And again.

There's no way to delete facebook profile if facebook didn't really care about its users.

It can depend a lot on where in the world you and your friend group are or are from. It's quite popular with the Indian H1B contractors in my office in the US for example but not too many of my US friends use it. Same story with my fiancé and her lab groups which have a lot of European grad students and post docs, it's quite common there too.
Hearing aids are already used to treat both misophonia and hyperacusis. So while the idea is sound, it would probably not get funded because it already exists.
Naturally occurring differences are necessary if you want to embed the watermark, otherwise detecting it is trivial - you just need to compare two copies. A photo or a scan of a text document can easily weigh 2 MB, that's enough data to embed a watermark in a way that is reasonably difficult to detect. Embedding watermarks that will survive re-encoding while being hard to detect is far more difficult though.
It's probably too late for any specific publicly traded company that already exists, but social media as a protocol, with forced interoperability if necessary, is the way to solve this. Many regional phone carriers doesn't prevent people from communicating across regions.

Of course, it does cost more, so the question becomes who is willing and able to pay for a socially less harmful means of networking individuals without having to put them all on a single data hoovering ad platform? Whether it's direct charge to consumers or subsidized by government, the money still ultimately has to come from people.
Nice idea.

FWIW: I use Tree Style Tabs (or Sideberry) to see why I arrived at a page. Not exactly the thing specified here but it works today.
Yes, and one of the cost of the implementation was actually the justification of keeping data, and segregating said data. We had some data we could keep 10 years, some (most) only two, some had to be deleted once the client left.
