I know a lot of people use airpods as like ambient sound, just keeping them playing super quiet all the time. I personally keep them at a moderate volume because I have no interest in hearing anything other than my music, but maybe the low battery sound is volume-independent, so people who listen at 10% would be jarred by it.
I'm not convinced that having the source code is necessarily a perfect shortcut to accurate results. Video games, in particular, seem to be subject to a decent amount of emergent behaviors such that scientifically measuring things is honestly probably a better option than trying to read the source code to find out what the developer thinks should happen.
I know OctoSQL, I found the project super interesting, especially as you can merge different data sources. SPyQL is very single-stream oriented, much in line with command line tools (e.g. awk, grep, sed). I should be implementing soon a left join use case based on dictionary lookups, but I am not planning to implement more complicated joins in the near term, you have OctoSQL for that :-)
I don’t know, my experience with Samsung’s buds plus and buds live has been flawless.
Google can't be a neutral middleman because everybody is trying to manipulate the search results. If everybody is clickbaiting their page titles, and Google just displays them as is, it makes their product worse.
To reference variables in the outer scope, you would do

mutate(df, b = .env$a + 1)

And if you have a string (contained in a_var) which identifies a variable you can do

mutate(df, b = .data[[a_var]] + 1)

You could argue these feel clumsy, but I wouldn’t say it’s “hard” to do either of these things with dplyr.
The idea of cooking food stayed. Sanitation stayed. The practice of washing hands stayed. Refrigeration of food stayed. Why the heck shouldn't the use masks stay?
Nearing collapse, are we?

Predict the time of collapse and define “collapse”. I will take a 1:1 $10k bet for the other side if it’s soon enough and reasonable enough. Soon enough and reasonable enough and I’ll raise it to $100k.

$10k is enough for you to medical tourism to the third world. $100k is enough for you to medical tourism to many parts of the first world. So I think this is fair.
Ok, that's just a copy paste, but the message is: Encrypt all the things (no backdoors) so your civilians can't be spied on and their vital communications can't be disrupted. Right? That's the message (again)?

I mean I agree, and I use services accordingly (Signal, NextCloud, Home Assistant) but, is there a special reason why he is saying it now, with some urgency? Did something happen?
What's happening on Roblox is not at all like programming a computer in your living room.

Roblox is encouraging kids to develop games for a platform they make money off from. They are then paying them with in-game money to compensate them. This looks very much like a subcontractor relationship, but with payment in company store money.

They are also aware that large groups are collecting and behaving like game dev studios, and these new child developers are getting pulled in by those organizing them. There are reports that abusive behavior is occurring in these groups, but because they are not on Roblox, the company sees no problem.

You can still develop software for Roblox and never see a problem. Still, it doesn't mean that problems are non-existent.
I am just very lazy! :-)
>>> Because I want the title to be concise, but still help people explicitly understand what my writing is about?

And yet from TFA:

>> In fact, we found that matching your H1 to your title dropped typically dropped the degree of rewriting across the board, often dramatically.

Users don't look much at titles - they end up in the browser tab or somewhere like that. If a title doesn't match the H1 heading it's often to get more stuff in for SEO. OTOH short titles might be useful when they show up in a tab where there is limited space. Maybe they shouldn't lengthen them for that reason.

Humm, I wish it was that clear. I'm from Portugal, one of the countries with higher vax rate (anti-vax movement here is negligible) and a few days ago we were on world top 5 for new infections.

"better" is very subjective. If you just want short options, getopt code is shorter, far more portable and easier to write. Even if you DO want long options, argp is still not portable meaning that unless you only want to support glibc linux, you have to keep a local copy or rewrite or fallback from arpg.

Why has this been flagged out of existence?
Every day my desire to be able to rate sites relevance after a search increases.
And I'd love to be able to choose if the original or Google generated title was the most relevant. (Cmon there is some machine learning training potential in that).

Rather that than ditching google search completely which is getting closer every day.

Wouldn't it be better for the users to penalize the sites ranking instead hiding the fact that the result is your usual click bait drivel? Rewriting the titles just hides that the results Google found are low quality garbage.
yes, very similar.
I use Bootstrap (137KB before compression on my website) only because I am not a frontend developer, and I don't know how to make websites responsive with plain CSS. If I knew how to do that reliably, I'd happily throw it away because I don't need anything besides text that looks good on mobiles and desktop screens.

It is amazing how much of what we perceive as new had actually deep roots in past thinking.

He is just one of the early pioneers of Chinese input methods, his particular method is stroke-based and works on 0-9 number pads, went obsolete decades ago, but surely had an influence over later popular ones like Wubi.

Today, input methods were dominated by pronunciation based one like Pinyin. The heuristics based "smart" Pinyin input methods was actually invented by a non-tech folk and eventually hired by a then-large Internet company called Sogou, it was quite novel for the input method to suggest word pairs like a search engine with most frequent used ones readily type-able. Some later versions even include crazy macros like the current timestamp, emojis, or even read your contact list (!!) for quicker name & address suggestions.

Privatize healthcare to the level there are no forced regular contributions anywhere, and stop taking my money at the point of the government coercion, then we'll see who actually is a freeloader in this society.
> it’s still a very small proportion of the population

At present yes, but this was 100% of the now-vax population at a prior point in time (everyone passes through #3 to enter #2), so it should be separated in the historical record.
Given NK's propensity to launch state-supported cyber attacks, this looks to me like a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".
If Google believes the site is being disingenuous by writing a click bait headline, then they should punish the site by decreasing their ranking, not reward it by keeping it high and rewriting a more fitting headline.
But what about free and unlimited Healthcare is a fundamental human right

On the flip side, we're also going to witness a very large portion of the population that rejects most all pharmaceutical treatments due to lack of trust. Anyone that has had any vaccine injury, even if minor. Reproductive issues are in a weird classification as being "minor" in that they aren't life threatening, but they certainly are major for young women that are planning on having children. Another group that will have their trust shattered are the people that got vaxxed and boosted, and still caught covid in a very bad way. And finally, the group that has been turned off by the haphazard communication (at best) and downright creepy coercion to get vaccinated.

My trust in the system has been thoroughly shattered, I've gone from looking down at anti-vaxxers with disdain from before the pandemic- to now being labelled as part of that crowd because I am anti mandates. The whole timing of that terminology in and of itself is interesting as well- but that's probably going too deep down the rabbit hole.
The obese can’t kill me from across the room. A better analogy would be smokers, who I am also frustrated with but at least nicotine is addictive.
This isn't really true of any of the examples you've given. Deno has a single executable, sure, but it depends on several system libraries (it's not a statically linked/portable executable). Now those system libraries are almost guaranteed to be there, but they're dependencies nonetheless. Godot is the same, except it depends on a few more system libraries (at least on Linux) and some of those are not guaranteed to be there. Deno projects may be package-able but I do not believe that is the default (it's been awhile since I've tried using it).

It might seem like this is a desirable property to have, but most applications of significant complexity have support libraries that can't or shouldn't be packaged alongside the main executable, and some set of configuration libraries. And programming language implementations are quite complex, and can have big support libraries + their support code (usually for the standard library implementations) and some configuration for the compiler/runtime itself (which is desirable!).

However some implementations can create statically linked executables, and if those applications are simple enough they can live without support libraries and configuration. Some that come to mind are C, C++, Rust, Go, and Zig. Zig is the only one that is small enough not to have a ton of excess in the compiler itself, but C/C++ are quite big (luckily if you use a Unix platform, they're probably already installed) and Rust and Go both come with some source code alongside their compilers, which again, is desirable.

What you're looking for is the extreme exception and not the rule.

> Who says success requires popularity? In what universe does that make sense?

For a programming paradigm, it's required. A programming paradigm that is not used by many programmers is not successful paradigm. It's a failure or it hasn't succeeded yet.
I am familiar with the cryptocurrency marketing pitch but remember that people are trying to use fear to sell tokens. It’s never good to get advice from someone with that large a conflict of interest.

We’re nowhere near what economists consider hyperinflation and the 7% we’re seeing is more convincingly explained by the well-known issues caused by a global pandemic which will not run forever.
If you want safety, go to prison
As a user, I'm fine with Google counteracting this.

The problem there is that "optimizing for clickbaitness" means "making the titles as appealing to click on as possible when they're displayed in search pages". Google deliberately making them less appealing to click on means Google are reducing the effectiveness of organic search results, and that favors adverts instead.

In other words, what you are saying is that you believe it's valid for Google to rewrite website content to make search page adverts more appealing than the actual search results.

That is very hard to justify. If Google wanted to 'punish' sites for being too clickbaity then they should drop that site's position in the search rankings. Ranking it highly but rewriting the title to be something worse (or 'less clickbaity') is a massive abuse of their search market position to favor their ad business.
I think that's an excellent point. I think rapidapi.com is great for hobbyist or people starting out. If you are going to use an API for your company, I think you would like to deal with the API provider directly so you can have things like SLAs, etc. Since everything is an API that's something really easy to setup.
The funny thing is that in the book it ends with him in an asylum and one of the male nurses telling him that he doesn’t need to worry because the project is still on track as planed.
Most of the authors complaints are valid. I'm definitely guilty of the 10-second 'Hello? Hello?' dance at the start of phone calls. However, AirPods are such a good product I can forgive them all of those flaws and more.

One hidden feature: I was walking around my city listening to something on AirPods Pro. A truck in the lane adjacent to the sidewalk braked hard, making painfully loud squeal. Except I didn't hear it. The AirPod on the street side entered noise canceling mode quickly enough to silence almost all of the sound, and stayed there for a few seconds afterward before reverting to ambient sounds. I'm not sure if that was a purposeful feature, or just a volume limiter for the ambient-noise mode kicking in. Regardless, it was one of the most delightful experiences I've ever had with a product. The thing just quietly, casually making my day a little bit better, then getting out of the way again.
Great scenario, it perfectly encapsulates what you're talking about.

The way I like to short-circuit this problem is to ask a bunch of experts what they would do if they had the same information, except applied to their own life. As long as you preface it with a promise not to hold them responsible for their answer, they'll often give better advice than the "official recommendation" that they were giving moments before. I've used this with doctors, realtors, home inspectors, plumbers, programmers, managers, retail employees...

"Hey Dr. Neurosurgeon, if you received this scan and you had the possible aneurysm, and you wanted to live as long as possible, what would you do?" If the official recommendation is to not get the clip, but a bunch of neurosurgeons say they personally would get the clip, then I'd probably get the clip.
What Happened to Isthestockmarketgoingtocrash?
I suspect the line of thinking behind the 30% seems to be something along the lines of "they're fiddling their numbers to reduce our 2% cut, so let's just take a bigger cut".

I don't think this is entirely kosher for a bunch of reasons, but I'm willing to believe that it was a naïve person doing something naïve after being burned by someone cheating him out of his cut, or something along those lines.

At any rate, since the author of this article was unaware of the 2%, it doesn't really matter if the 30% would have been mentioned or not. That they took any cut could have been clearer, perhaps – I don't know how it looked like before on that Ionic plugin site, but it's plenty clear now so that's a solved issue (if it was an issue to start with). That this was added after this exchange (and before it was published) without any pressure further demonstrates the plugin author is essentially acting in good faith.
Lots of fascinating commentary;
But I've not seen mention of these core concepts:

Social mobility
Equality of opportunity
Labour arbitrage

I suppose the first two are worth pursuing vigorously. The last is core to capitalism, and some other complex systems, like cells. But it can be abused and thr former two are indicators of whether society is healthy.

I’m not going to minimize the dangers of nuclear but doing good faith comparisons would mean that we should consider the full human and ecological costs of the status quo as well which is much more catastrophic than even a Chernobyl level incident every decade. If solely comparing radiation fossil fuel production is much worse than nuclear of all things as well even counting accidents like Fukushima, Three Mile, and Chernobyl.

Independent reviews (of course I wouldn’t trust USSR orgs) of the Chernobyl fallout I’ve read (including out into EU where wind currents would theoretically have created higher cancer rates) show nothing really conclusive. Similar for follow-ups from Fukushima (yes, I’m aware of the radiation levels in the water).

These nuclear v renewable distractions seem to do nothing to get us off the clear and present danger of fossil fuels, which is my big frustration.
Searching for Susy Thunder
I have similar hesitations about registering to vote in my state (North Carolina) because it makes voter record data available to “Any person upon request and for a fee. Free lists are provided upon request to political parties.” [1]. My name, address, etc. ended up on dozens of sketchy websites after registering to vote previously. Privacy conscious legislation can’t come soon enough.

This is what i meant (profitable). Sorry bad translation. However their vaccine research was highly funded by states (at least here in Germany and I suspect everywhere else too) so.. not sure how easy it would be to calculate all of that.

>I asked my computer to do something as basic as play sound, something that worked for decades without GUI sudo

Sure, security also was not great for decades. I know what you mean you don't have time to vet packages, very few people have time to do that, that's usually why you'd trust a vendor to do it for you and not keep second guessing their decisions because they published and fixed a CVE.

>I am looking for alternative distros because the ones I've been using include too many things I didn't ask for.

That's great, I wish you luck. Just keep in mind, eventually if you find you want to put a security prompt on something for whatever reason (maybe you find yourself shipping something to a less technically inclined user), I expect you will circle back around to the same solutions. They're there for you to use them. At that point it becomes whether the frustration with XML and Javascript is worth rewriting it with a different configuration format and scripting language. Maybe you also want to take these tools written in C and rewrite it in Go or Rust or something, I don't know. I would not say it's worth it unless you have some really extreme requirements. This doesn't to have the most expressive DSL you can think of it, it just needs to encode some simple logic in a well-understood way.
Agreed, and we just lost my wife's grandma to Covid. She could have been fine but that part of the family swallowed the anti-vax lie. My wife's aunt almost died from Covid. They should have known better too, having lost a brother in Vietnam to Covid, but the Trumpian lies had a stronger hold on them.

We do still need to think about the people who can't get vaxxed for medical reasons. My sister has MS and has been on immunosuppressants which prevented her from getting it. Thankfully she took a break and got vaxxed because now she has covid.

If we get to, say, April without a serious spike in the death rate, I think the protocols will be rolled back. That assumes we don't see a new variant but it looks like the variants are getting less serious, not more.
Russia is working on terrorizing their neighbors, and suppression of their own population except super rich. Sure, every move they make is supplied with "blame America!", but I doubt that this "trick" really works nowadays.
i think they are referring what we use to be allowed to say in chat channels and on forums. it was a lot more raw, a lot of offended people starting getting online and treating the internet like it was real life, part of the beauty of the internet was how non-regulated it was, granted the quality has gotten better, safer spaces for things like business, finance and other sensitive information but we also lost the jokes that the internet use to have, on the main channels at least. back in the day you could get kicked from a mainstream irc channel but it too a lottttt to get banned from an irc network or even an online forum. which granted you can still find sub communities like you mention that still cater to hacking, off jokes and crazy information but it’s not tolerated on the main channels of communication like before, which is fine for people who weren’t into that stuff because it didn’t change for them. but overall there has been changes, not terrible but def not the same as irc/usenet/bbs’s during their hayday. information was widely accessible but a lot of it is a paywall these days, also torrenting was a lot more common and i could call someone a moron without getting flagged. but yeah we still got some freedom and there are better quality services in some ways, i guess it just depends on your personality and how much it has limited expressing ones self authentically.
