Why couldn’t we have done a massive propaganda campaign for vaccination and masks? I can’t think of anything more vital to national security and well-being and it’s been basically radio silence. I wanted Rosie the Riveter style posters on every street corner and bus. 858,000 Americans are dead. I wish the CIA had worked on that instead of dicking around on pointless shit like this.
Maybe a good rule of thumb is that every independent and not-for-profit org is actually a front for covert interests, unless they are really popular and can survive on donations alone.

I kind of agree with this article. I think Apple doesn't think a lot about their competition in a sense that they solely focus on the user experience of their products and don't worry with trying to push for interopability with other products. But the whole bullying thing because of the background colour seems laughable.

I also think that they have a big advantage because they have a narrow range of products (there aren't 50 different iPhones) that they can sell at a high volume giving them a lot of leverage with suppliers. Additionally they control the whole stack and probably should be able to offer a superior product compared to their competition if they execute right.

I'm not sure if this warrants intervention from regulators. As a consumer I see potential for a great product that simply isn't possible if multiple companies design different elements of the stack. There are much bigger conflicts of interest and you may be using the same software and parts as your competitor so they will never be as specialized.

I'm not sure if these advantages are fair. Should a hardware manufacturer not be allowed to develop an operating system for their hardware? Should the developer of an operating system not be allowed to develop and integrate services into their operating system?

I guess I could extend this thinking to the overall centralization in the tech space. Which is convenient and really worrying at the same time.
What is corporatism in the sense that this is verging on it?

> Make a better product and beat them, don't use the fact that a government is banning them to upsell your own tracking software.

Google Analytics is not a good product if it can't legally be used. The competitor in this case is offering a better product because it can legally be used.
this is so important to bear in mind. How many artists, songs do we remember and frequently play from a given decade? Be generous and say it's 500, and that's still a drop from the bucket of music that was released and popular in its time. Compare to today, when it's easier than ever to record and release new music, and it's a drop in the ocean.
My TV can't do that :(
I highly recommend folks play Hypnospace Outlaw, an Internet and OS simulation game, complete with a page builder[1] to achieve a similar aesthetic. (It's hard to describe this game without giving it away so I won't try.)

The number of potential links in a graph of n vertices scales like O(n^2). That does not mean that the actual number of links in the knowledge base should scale like O(n^2). However, it could mean that the overhead work to maintaining and building the connections in the knowledge base becomes unbearable. That is, the solution is not saving time anymore. Solutions like these need, imo, really good link prediction solutions to make it easier to manage them.

Are any of these personal knowledge base solutions offering link prediction as a feature to alleviate this problem?
"Respect" comes to mind. Otis Redding recorded it in 1965, and in his version, it's pretty clear that respect means sex. Aretha Franklin re-arranged it and released her version two years later. She flipped the song to be from a woman's point of view, and it became one of the anthems of the women's rights movement of the late 60's and beyond.

Even though his version reached a decent #35 on Billboard, Aretha's version completely eclipsed it. Reportedly, Redding conceded that "it's her song now" (paraphrasing).

I understand how it is to focus on a project, and want to get other people interested in it, and want to find collaborators.

But you've posted links about this 20 times in the last 7 months, with many (oddly) to forks of your project.

Of the handful of comments you've received, the last two have been complaints that you are posting too many times to the same thing. And for (IMO), little change.

Your posts get the attention of people like me, who are interested in graph algorithms. But as I've commented before, the algorithms in the packages are not what that advanced.

Nor is it "comprehensive." See NetworkX for an example of a graph library with a much more comprehensive set of methods - https://networkx.org/documentation/latest/index.html .

You've mentioned before that you think it's an easier-to-use alternative than Boost and is more readable. Maybe that's your niche.

Yet your documentation doesn't give any examples of how to use it, saying only "Work in Progess".

Spend your time finding your niche, and developing for that niche.

Right now the documentation looks like you have developed it for the you-of-two-years-ago, when you just started this project. It has reminders for how to make distributions for different systems, and pointers to where to learn about the different algorithms.

But don't forget, the you-of-two-years-ago was not interested in using an off-the-shelf package, otherwise you would have used Boost. Which means you likely have the wrong end-user model in mind.

To sum it up, please stop posting so many alternative links to your project, focus on figuring out your core niche, and be more realistic about your project goals.

Best of wishes.

Yeah, I think characters like Spock and Picard draw in a special kind of people that identify with these hero's. That is nice. But these people (me) feel no connection with the "all my emotions are on the outside" characters that are now in these shows.

When Picard (or even Spock) shows emotion, it's deep and meaningful. Spock raises an eyebrow, I know this is really something! Picard yells: "The line must be drawn here!", you can see he lost rationality. In Discovery I see tears whipping around the screen for reasons I can't even remember.

I love that women are getting bigger roles, but I'd love to see highly rational women, also with little outside but deep emotions. Idk, I just don't really like it this way.
False, you can use response.body which is a ReadableStream. See https://fetch-progress-demo.glitch.me/ for a simple example.
"Declassified could find no NED grants awarded in any of the six US-backed dictatorships in the Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. By contrast, the NED spent $9.4m on 162 grants in Venezuela – where the US seeks the removal of the Nicolás Maduro government – in 2016-19 alone."

That is a great thought, and I'd like to add: Probably we can more easily solve the real problems if we stop mixing them up with fictional ones. So an article like this might actually hurt the overall cause of improving the gender violence problem.
but you present your opinion as if it would be required now, while I use VLsub in VLC FOR YEARS without anyone asking me for long/pwd, so not sure what's your deal but you are clearly trying to mislead other based on maybe many years old experience, while reality for many years is that nobody asks you for login/pwd in VLsub

and yes, it is still sometimes freezing or has issues, but not sure what you expect from service you don't pay anything for, not even in forms of ads if you use it through VLsub
Exactly. What does Google expect to earn with this move? The increased revenue they're pulling with this must be _marginal_ compared to the rest of their product lines. Is it really worth it to annoy lifelong customers for pennies?

After a decade of training their model Youtube can't even produce meaningful subtitles for ordinary words in English (let alone my native language, french) and we're supposed to trust these fucked-up AI overlords are going to produce any better dubbing?

I have no doubt these solutions will be popular, because many people have difficulty reading and will prefer audio when given the option. I'm just confident they won't reach any measurable quality and the translations will be full of non-sensical/anti-thetical statements.
In a similar boat and I wonder the same myself. My current thoughts are that I've had mild executive function disorder for most of my life, and self-medicating has helped in the short term but perhaps caused longer-term effects due to building a dependency on it.

> Let’s start with the obvious: the only people having this conversation about iMessage are Americans. In most of the world, iMessage is an afterthought. Platform-agnostic chat apps like WeChat, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger dominate, though the particular apps in question vary from country to country.

Excuse me? Anyone using an iPhone and messing someone with an iPhone is using iMessage. I'm in an EU country and I have specifically made an effort to notice what sort of messaging platform people use and by far if they're on iOS they're using iMessage.

Such a bold and impudent statement to make! It's baffling how they can even write such a title and paragraph.
I feel this is really important. Good management will block off pressure from the upper levels so their team can flourish and be their best version. Bad management hands the pressure down the chain.

> a more intuitive theory than walking causes better health.

Why? Genuine question. In todays world, people drive themselves in cars and then park themselves in chair for hours. Then, on other end there are people having physical work that is literally body destroying - or people who literally go too much all in sports.

Why would it be unintuitive that normal walking around, mild exercise related to easy day to day activity would be better for health?

It might be that this is so fetishized in western culture precisely because there are many people who are conservative but cannot find a socially appropriate outlet for it. Try saying "The man should work to feed the family, the woman should raise the kids." on American TV ;) But I'm sure there are Americans (of both genders) who feel like that is how they would want their marriage to be.

Similarly, Japanese women are usually portrayed as very submissive in Anime and Japanese movies. Probably, some people find that sexually attractive, or else they wouldn't do it.

Looking at what westerners desire of Japanese culture might be a good way to find suppressed urges in the western culture. Whether or not we as society decide to act on that knowledge is a different question.
I had this too. Too bad normal users didnt value this.

When I showed it to friends at the time they were mostly confused about it, or didnt "get" the value of it.
I agree. But that does not mean they are just propaganda tools. CIA and Mi6 is not the same as FSB or MSS.
It is frustrating to link this to a unit as unspecific as "steps". It's like modern day "hands" or something. I would think it would be incredibly difficult to come to any conclusion before decoupling weight, terrain, shoe material, stride, altitude, etc.

In addition, I've seen people get more unhealthy after taking up the dogma of "steps" as they are now tracking their normal-everyday-routine and using it to justify their lack of medium/high-intensity exercise. "Bing! I closed a ring. I can skip the gym today."

Climate change will harm coral at higher latitudes, at a slow enough rate they will migrate southwards, the rampant agricultural runoff will keep going regardless of the climate though and it has just as much a negative impact. Talking about fertilisers flowing into the reef and farmers causing much of the damage is a quick way into political suicide. It's not an easy issue to solve in a country with a 24 hour news cycle full of ever more outrage.

From the perspective of someone being managed, I’d say the most important for me would be that the new Manager establishes 1on1 relationships with the team. This builds trust for the manager because they can be more sure that the team is helping to fulfill the organizational goals and will help to surface any upcoming problems ahead of time and not when it is too late.

For the team it gives them the feeling they can talk to the Manager honestly, which is really important.
Even this premise is fundamentally mistaken. If you have a monolith, and the LoginModule is overloaded, you add more hardware, and it's the LoginModule which makes use of the additional resources. The AppointmentModule isn't going to suddenly start using more resources just because they're available.

Old emails will be saved. But without attachments.

Is it okay for you?
yes, but it's never going to be a particularly strong one, this smells like they're mainly pushing gold because people tend to think of it as the pinnacle, magic material. Sure, it has very nice properties, but I fail to see long-term data storage as one of them.
If they're the biggest chunk of your funding, sure. If it's just one funding source amongst many, which is the strategy taken by groups like Bellingcat to avoid that sort of implicit coercion, then that's really not a factor.

I'm working on a +500k loc Django codebase that is a single app (but really should be 20-50 apps). It's a pain in the ass to work with. It is turning an already complex monolith into a more complex monolith. New developers that join, struggle pretty much forever. Often leave, citing the uncessary complexity. Everything is "legacy" (this project started with Django 1.4), so using new tests, approaching code in a new way is out of the question, unless you wan't to refactor all the code. Perhaps it's a organizational issue, but its definitely one of the biggest points of frustrations.

They absolutely do have a point when it comes to the positives of using one "app". But the well meant advice of being careful, doing this or that to avoid the problems named above; unfortunately don't scale (at least from my experience). If I am ever tasked to take over a Django codebase that is a single app, instead of lets say 5-10. My first priority will be to break this up in smaller apps before actually doing any actual work.

With the huge development times of games nowadays this would mean that all the big AAA games starting production right now would need to have P2E schemes planned in, not to mention LoL/CS:GO/Fortnite/etc transitioning to it rather quickly. Also console manufacturers would have to get on board or the walled-garden nature of console gaming would have to collapse.

That all seems like a lot of changes that show very little current progress. For a space whose killer-app is Axie Infinity, a game whose gameplay looks straight out of a 2010 era browser game these are some big claims.

First, getting this right without unplanned downtime can be hard to achieve and as well as lots of diligence it also really requires the right level of general application architecture plus hands on engineering experience.

The general process is assessment and understanding the system, refactoring and improving code without program changes, and re-achitecting key pieces to enable the testing, then getting test coverage to where it gives you the required confidence to make the change.
