Microsoft Edge is gaining some serious ground and is closing in on Safari [0]. Their aggressive conversion tactics seem to be paying off.

The problem with Safari is that they either simply haven't, and, in some cases, even flat out refuse to implement certain standards that they themselves have had a hand in establishing. And then most of what is available comes half-arsed, undocumented, and is not supported/iterated upon.

Is it possible to do any of those things without money?
Everrise is locking contracts and making the space safer.
And if enough developers simply ignored Safari then maybe it would force Apple to either simply adhere to web standards or allow competing browser engines... Catering to them signals that their shitty behaviour is condoned.
Amazing, this is a huge win for consumers and developers.
I use VictorOps (Now Splunk On-Call) currently and it does the job. Its shift override functionality is quite confusing to get your head around at first but makes sense after the first few times.

I've also used OpsGenie (Atlassian now) and really enjoyed it. The amount of integrations they have is staggering.
What are you referring to? The list of industrial accidents? I don’t think it’s fair to criticize this without comparing to the record of a non nuclear facility of similar scale.

Injuries and death are sadly a part of life at all large industrial plants.
Because it's not just about clothes. It's about the photoshopped silky smooth skin, with the perfect highlights/tones/lines, and the luscious lips, and just-the-right-amount-of-body-fat thighs and abdomen, which are unachievable no matter how much you dress nice and be fit.

The subreddit "instagramreality" shows just how unattainable and unrealistic images on social media can be.
Wait, you are old enough to remember MySpace, but young enough to have had social media in high school (I assume on a smartphone)? I didn’t realize that those two things overlapped.

I'm going to nitpick:

"One notorious case prosecutors cited is State v Smith, in which a New Jersey appeals court upheld the conviction and 25-year prison sentence of an HIV-positive inmate. The inmate, Gregory D Smith, threatened to kill corrections officers by biting or spitting on them. HIV cannot be spread through saliva, a fact known for more than a decade by the time the conviction was upheld."

No, HIV cannot be spread by saliva _alone_, but what if your spit contained blood? Maybe you had gum disease, maybe you were just hitting your face against the wall of your cell, causing bleeding.

Studies of the risk of HIV transmission during dental procedures shows it's very low.

But it's not zero.

I think Im ok sacrificing 1 - 2 seconds a month for the value vscode has to offer.
> Hasn't media (newspapers, radio, television, periodicals, etc.) in the United States always been this way? Why would this time be any different?

In the past, there were laws preventing single individuals or companies from owning too much of the media.

Oh, it can definitely happen. In earlier drafts of the current iteration of my website, I used `mix-blend-mode: multiply` liberally (most significantly for the left sidebar), and discovered that in Chromium under Windows anything you used it on would stop rendering after a few thousand pixels (4096 or 8192 or something, my memory’s fuzzy and I don’t have the bug IDs handy), meaning that most of some of my articles were just missing. And that wasn’t even the only debilitating bug I found in Chromium in the process. So I regretfully removed some of the clevernesses that did produce better results in Firefox, because I found Chromium so terribly buggy in some of the slightly-newer stuff. (My general experience and impression is that Chromium ships fast with lots of bugs that tend to linger, and Firefox ships more slowly with decidedly fewer bugs.)

But still, most CSS bugs aren’t so severe.
Oops. I didn’t answer your question.

> Specifically Pinterest image result clutter?

No, not at all and quite the opposite. If I see a result is on Pinterest, specifically a pin result, I’m more likely to click it because I know the image will be delivered fast (I was in charge of CDN strategy) and is two easy clicks to “download image”.

Often when I see other results, I’ll get to the page and there will be some irritating right click disabling script or I’ll have to hunt down the image and it’s a pain.

If the site it links to is dead, I’ll at least have an audit trail I can use to hunt the image down from the metadata on Pinterest.

Update: done!
Irrelevant to the 4th amendment. A service's TOS does not absolve the government of its constitutional prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure. Buying data from a 3rd party service is still a search and seizure, much like paying a hitman is still first-degree murder. The question is whether it is reasonable.
Depending on how records were kept, it could have been incredibly easy to falsify the records even with an auditor checking them over. The fraud went back to the 80s so I'm sure many of those records were paper-only and continued to be paper-only for many years later. There's only so much time for an auditor to pull every string. If they don't suspect fraud in the first place, they probably aren't going to find it if it's not obvious. The fraud may have been as simple as her saying she performed a test, making up results, and writing down a list of equipment used along with calibration dates. An inspector looks at the results, sees everything is in spec, looks at the equipment list and sees it's all in calibration, everything checks out but she never performed the test to begin with. Maybe she got caught because someone found that the equipment was in use for other tests at the time she said she performed them or that the equipment was used for a much shorter time than when others ran the same test. When I test something and use calibrated equipment or tools, no one is actually checking to make sure I actually used those specific items. Quality systems kind of fall apart when people straight up lie. They work well to catch mistakes or nonconformances but a straight up lie is hard to detect unless you enforce witness signatures.

Obfuscation is a cat-and-mouse game and with enough resources, it's always possible to detect. While Tor is OK for privacy from your ISP or the big-tech firms, certainly not for what the OP described. I think recommending Tor as the definite solution for these types of people is irresponsible.
I had reviewed existing UUIDv7 implementations and many were incorrect or had subtle timing bugs.

We ended up implementing UUIDv7 in our ID generation library https://github.com/MatrixAI/js-id. And we have a number of tests ensuring that it is truly monotonic even across process restarts.

Wonder how someone could get this ruling applied to Google Play...

In other news, I spent some time this month implementing monthly billing subscriptions. Stripe was easy and I could rapidly test almost every scenario (cancellations, deferments, non payment,el etc). Apple and Google? Good luck, you basically have to test in production to figure out all the corner cases for your users.

As a solo dev, being able to choose my payment processor would let me focus on delivering real features and value instead of app store toil.

Because there's no incentive to do otherwise. Of course people don't time shift their electric use when there's no incentive to.
I'd recommend doing some reading on constitutional law and specifically interpretations of the 4th amendment. One cannot "sell" their 4th amendment right, because the text of the amendment places obligations on the government. The act of buying 3rd party data is tantamount to a search and seizure, regardless of whatever TOS was signed by the user who provided that data.

You asked for specific examples misinformation. I pointed you to the link you missed - that pointed to specific examples of misinformation.

I suppose a link to exactly what you asked for was insufficient. Well, okay.
Maybe I missed it, but where does the article suggest otherwise? I don't see the FUD (and not how this would cause Fear, uncertainty and doubt either way)?
Does allowing side loading app stores avoid this?
No, not at all.

At the moment I can be sure that I can cancel a subscription without, for example, being required to call a US telephone number, as is the norm for subscription sites not using Apple.

It's a huge win for developers who want to fuck over consumers. Consumers? Not so much.
I think that's a sound assessment.

That's ok if all you write is something like C or C++.

If you are writing html, css, react, js, python, sql and myriad other things. Then having all of this configured to your likings is a multi month project. While vscode gets you up and running in minutes.

Edit efficiency should be least of your worries. vscode constantly reminds me if I forgot to import something, or if I imported something and forgot to use it. It lets me navigate code semantically, not just through text tags. It lets me debug, have a project running on a remote box, and let me work on it like Im working locally etc etc. Writing a full feature list will make this a blog post/book.

At the end of the day my job is write code, not to work on side tooling projects.
Yup. And the pressure accumulates and manifest differently.

There's no evidence of that. The only evidence is that when the price is exactly the same 24/7, no elasticity is observed.

Dynamic Tensor Rematerialization Overview
You’re in a country (well, technically connecting from a non-US IP) which does not have a ccTLD redirect. This is the same issue as above. It appears the updated code sends a non-dismissible UI for non-US markets (the US is saturated, this is a user acquisition/growth strategy).

that's alarming! They give examples where PopOS should have worked with upstream... they are

youtube-dl breaking [0] -- the bug was open for 21 days before maintainer fixed it... once it was fixed, it took about 10 more days to propagate to older releases. And this was for the script whose only purpose was to interact with 3rd party websites -- it makes no sense to use older versions, they likely won't work at all!

nvidia lid closing problems [1]: bug reported 2017-11-05 and includes ready to apply patch. 2019-06-11, more than 19 months later, system76 mentions the patch is not applied and recommends PopOS... only then maintainers notice this and fast-track into Ubuntu.

Not sure who is right there, but they are really not making the case for working with upstream.

> each time you add an authentication mechanism

I don't do that. No one ever does that. Normal people don't keep a picturebook of authentication mechanisms that they need to cycle through. All the non-/etc/password PAM modules that some clueless IT ever forced on me (for as long as it took me to root and purge them from existence) to hook up with some network service just end up breaking your user account. The highlight is when they don't even authenticate with the network because they instead cache credentials.
Not on smart phones because iPhone came out in 2007 but I remember when Facebook opened to the general public in 2006.

The FOMO at the time was real.

I've lived in Chattanooga long enough to call it home (decade+). First thing about Chattanooga is, it's built on the backbone of the Interstate system, in the valley between some mountains. It's a bigtime car city. Anyone outside our immediate downtown has to hop the highway to even get here, or brave treacherous mountain roads (our W Road is even a tiny bit famous... W not being a compass point, but a shape).

As you've noticed on Google, our downtown and close-lying (expensive) neighborhoods have sidewalks and bike lanes aplenty. They're fantastic. But there's no similar facilities in older, poorer, and outlying neighborhoods (many of which were simply suburbs until the city crept in). Nor any practical connection between neighborhoods for foot+pedal traffic.

But our internet's great.
Kind of reminds me of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. The discretionary federal budget averages like 8% of the economy--that is an ungodly amount of economic resources that can be directed to private entities to accomplish basically anything the government wants to do, regardless of what the Constitution dictates.
The world could redirect a lot of resources into building battery infrastructure. Enough for EVs and Storage.

Your Storage does only need to be for 1-2 days (or more precisely until your renewables come online again to recharge them).

You're cherry picking your own source[0]

> Most experts agree that Sanders is correct that it’s technologically possible to decarbonize the grid without using nuclear power. But many researchers also say keeping nuclear on the table makes decarbonization easier and more likely.

> But technically possible is not the same as practically feasible, or the most cost-effective. In that regard, many, although not all, researchers say nuclear — or something like it — is likely to be necessary to some degree. And even if nuclear is ultimately not needed, they say, the safer strategy is not to exclude it.

But what does "technically" mean?

> “All the evidence says it is possible to decarbonize the energy system in the U.S. without using nuclear power,” said Jones. But, he added, there are cases, such as places that don’t have good wind resources, in which building new nuclear plants can reduce the cost of decarbonizing. Depending on the region, he said, “getting to 100% renewable energy is either very expensive or necessitates significant new transmission to import resources from elsewhere.”

> That’s where nuclear can be helpful. It doesn’t have to be nuclear — Jones said carbon capture and sequestration, or CCS, for example, would also work. Sanders’ plan, notably, specifically excludes CCS.

> A large number of scenarios expanded nuclear power, Shindell said, to around double today’s level. He estimated that 90% of the scenarios included nuclear capacity above today’s level, and just one or two scenarios phased out nuclear entirely by 2100.

And the article, that YOU LINKED, goes on like this. I feel like you are being very disingenuous. I don't think anyone (or at least anyone that is informed, but then again that's probably too much to expect here given comments), is saying that nuclear is _absolutely_ necessary. I do think people are saying that it is much easier and cheaper if it is included within the solution. I do think people mischaracterize the arguments though and frame it as "all nuclear" vs "all renewables" but the truth is that both those solutions are absurd. We want a mixture and what that mixture is is going to depend on the region and country that is producing power. It is rather complicated and nuanced and the conversations typically don't acknowledge this.

Maybe part of the problem here is scientific lingo. We say "technically" and "possible" a lot of times, even if our confidence intervals are pretty small. This is something we can work on, but it is often to avoid infighting because someone else will argue "but 'technically' it is possible, just really unlikely/difficult" and you'll have to concede. You'll see this in any "nerd debate".

Either way, I'm going to call you out for misrepresenting your source.

Again, we're just talking the thermostat for it.

> I don't think there are even any widely available on the market today which will automatically increase the temperature at mid day in anticipation of an electricity shortage later.

Why should there be? Electric rates are fixed 24/7. All the power company has to do is provide an API to get the spot price, and start varying the electric rates according to supply. The market will adapt.
