I'm not owed free content; but nor do I owe anyone my eyeballs. If you put up a site on the public internet, then it's reasonable to assume the site's public. If it turns out my assumption is wrong, I just go away - I'm not going to argue with a webmaster who is determined to make me see stuff I don't want to see.
We already know ivermectin is safe in the human body, since it's already approved for use in humans to treat other things.
AWK supports conditional branching and switching so you can represent nested states as well. Wouldn't recommended beyond depth ~1 though... Use a proper language for that.
> I think that introducing nontechnical friends/family to adblockers and helping them set one up can be a really low-cost but high-impact kindness, I encourage people here to do so.

I have done this in the past. However, I have discovered that most of the people I introduce to ad blocking will turn it off later. This is because some sites are able to detect when you are using an ad blocker and even provide steps to turn it off. While there are ways to get around this, most of the people just preferred to turn it off.

It's quite sad, really.
Youtube, especially, turns into a whole different experience. Ad in front of every video makes it impossible to quickly browse and sort through videos. I might watch just a few seconds and then go to the next one. When ads are enabled, the experience is so painful that I'm not likely to use Youtube this way any more. I have to watch an ad before I've made the decision if I want to watch the video.
The only thing I don't like about crank windows is it's hard to roll down the passenger window while driving.

I've actually got 2 cars with crank windows and am in the process of converting one of them to power windows just because it doesn't have AC and I want an easier way to manage the windows.
My mercedes has manual seats and it can go up and down, its got like a pump lever on the side.
A Trip Back to the Future of the Internet (1993)
I've started to think about it differently. I no longer use any ad blockers.
I actually want to experience the web (and its decline) the way it is, to take it all in, feel the pain and strengthen my patience in the process.

Also, when I visit a website that is truly obnoxious with its ads, I simply leave immediately and never go there. You build your own filter of bad actors, behaviors, and concrete sites. You don't need to block everyone, you simply walk away from abusers. You want to take notice of improper behavior before consciously and deliberately boycotting it.
I don’t think it’s similar at all, that was my point. The .NET runtime itself will never check a CancellationToken for you, but an API you pass it to might, of course (and many standard APIs take one as a parameter). And even then, the result is an exception, which you can catch and keep going.

That’s not at all what happens when the Future is dropped in Rust: Yes, it only happens at .await, but when it does, execution is simply stopped dead, no chance to continue.
That's not really true. Youtube ads specifically were way way milder and rarer years ago when way less people used Adblock.
So little content in the article about why this was needed. The argument about improving analytics for Citrix products using Tibco products seems extremely weak. I don't see much if any opportunities here for any combined improvement at the tech stack level. Where there is any opportunity there is redundancy like gateway functionality.

All the best to those working there and trying to figure out what next.
PiHole is the first thing I install on my network and configure it as DNS via DHCP.

Makes everything bearable. It doesn't get rid of every ad, but it still lightens the load.

I hate when they do this. I just leave and go somewhere else. I'm not submitting to Voight-Kampff just to see a LinkedIn profile.
In the FAQs halfway down the page:

> Is this legally binding?
Yes, if you are in the United States. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) together with the broad adoption of the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA) by 47 states ensures the validity of electronic signatures.

My kitchen aid has a white light that comes on when it finishes running, and automatically shuts itself off when it is closed.

As long as you unload it instead of fishing a single item out this works pretty well for telling the clean state.
In a normal world that would make sense but we're dealing with businesses and MBAs who need to incessantly increase their revenue. As a paying customer they could squeeze more, you're willing to pay. Non-paying customers are used as a product themselves but it's extremely hard to extract more.
This is a a strange article. I have no doubt that the 'archived' version is retained. However, yes if they are rebroadcasting some radio show from the 1950 for a contemporary entertainment, it's possible they will edit the content.

They don't repeat the black and white minstrel show from the 1970s at all. Shoud they? No.
The problem I have with BAT is that it tries to give me power over the commercialization of something that I don't want commercialized. It's like someone launched a "Basic Sexual Favor Token" to empower me to take control over the sex work I'm expected to perform every day. I have a hard time being happy that they want to empower me, because I'm too busy being aghast at their assumption that this aspect of my life is for sale in the first place and that I would be ok with that.
The Tektronix had a "storage tube" where you could trace an image and it'd be "self-refreshed". Other vector displays, such as the IBM 2250 and the CDC had to rely on long persistence phosphors and needed to refresh the image quickly or it'd flicker. The CDC had to move the beam so fast the characters are deformed by the analog responses to x-y positioning. If you look closely at the screen, it has a Comic Sans vibe to it.

> and there was another standardized display like that for air traffic control. Monochrome.

I'd LOVE to see one in person. And to get one to play with.

To be fair, I'd be pretty happy with a decommissioned 28" 2048x2048 air traffic LCD display.
I guess I assumed too much, then -- where's the dubious morality come from?
I'm no so sure -- many managers would just see it as an expeditious cost of doing business, unless it got to kill-the-company-now levels of fines.

I was once talking with an FCC agent about the status of some boards we were importing, and he told me about how Michael Dell would blatantly violate FCC regs with their computers, fight it for a while, then pay the fine out of "Federal Regulatory Account" -- he just happily violated the law and paid the fines enough to have a specific bank acct for that. He was not amused.

I'm pretty sure that it would require a demonstrably real threat of jail all the way up the management chain -- that might focus their minds a bit
Tl;dr: when confronted, he quit and was subsequently unreachable.
To save you a click, an app called WAMR logs every notification from apps of your choice (using Android's Notification Listener API). If you're sent a message that results in a notification being posted, then WAMR will log the contents of that notification, including the sender, message content, and any media embedded in the notification.

I downloaded WAMR, and during setup it asks you which apps' notifications to monitor, but I don't think this actually prevents it from logging other notifications on your device. Android 12 introduces more fine-grained notification access controls for notification listeners (FLAG_FILTER_TYPE_CONVERSATIONS, FLAG_FILTER_TYPE_ALERTING, FLAG_FILTER_TYPE_SILENT, and FLAG_FILTER_TYPE_ONGOING) but requires the app target API level 31 in order for the user to make changes.

The music industry wants to build web3. But can they secure it?
I agree with you. But I guess the problem stems from having to prioritize between building the next shiny thing or actually going back and fixing the problem. Even worse is that many of these problems have rather low short-term impact and a much larger long-term impact, which makes it even harder to justify/explain to the person making the prioritization. It's much easier to hide it behind the facade of "technical debt" to which everyone intuitively agrees it's a problem.

But yes having people with the competence to actually understand the clear cut issues also making the prioritization would be nice.
My 2018 CX5 has a touchscreen, but it's entirely disabled while the car is moving. So I've never used it. I just wish they saved the time and money not developing it, but I guess it's one of those marketing bullet points.
And once you have a computer with an operating system, UI, and (wireless) serial connections most of those features become almost "free". As a result, from the automaker's position adding all those features someone might pay for is "cheaper" for total income than not. You can always disable the features in software and keep the SKU# constant.

The other thing they didn't get into here is that the quality of ads online is generally trash. In the old advertising world there was at least some thought and work put into ads. Now they are auto-generated nightmares. Check out this article from a few years ago if you want to see the worst of the worst: https://www.theawl.com/2015/06/a-complete-taxonomy-of-intern...
Third parties are necessary in advertising for this reason.

If ads were served by the publisher than the advertiser would always think that the publisher was cheating and claiming they showed more impressions and generated more clicks.

If ads were server by the advertiser then the publisher would always think that the advertiser was cheating and claiming that they showed fewer impressions and got fewer clicks.

Both could believe that a third party is honest. Both will feel even more assured if the site has 50 different trackers from 50 different third parties tracking the process.

That's shifting from the narrative of the show/film you're watching to a different activity

It takes us about 1h20 to watch a c. 40 minute show with my wife, but that's because we pause throughout to discuss it. Haven't done linear TV since c. 2000, went through a couple of years in the early 00s with a mythtv box recording shows off air (with 30 second skip forwards/10 second skip back - If I remember commercial breaks almost entirely 6 or 8 skips forward), then sky plus, but nothing for the last 7 years other than streaming.

The belief that advertisers are owed my attention is absurd.

Since forever, you could opt of viewing ads. Ad in a magazine? Next page. TV commercial? Great time for a bathroom break. But now advertisers have decided that you MUST watch their ad. There's a countdown timer for. If the browser loses focus, the timer stops. How long before they're tracking eyeballs for enforcement? Oh wait, not long at all.

>I guess we can quibble about the definition of "nuance" but the idea that vaccine science and hospital capacity management is very direct doesn't hold much water with me, maybe others disagree, IDK?

This is what I am getting at. If we claim these decisions are science based, communicate the science! e.g. if X% more people are vaccinated, we will have Y more hospital beds, and Z more elected procedures. make an honest calculation, show the work, and stand behind it.
* With lithium ion you don't want to sit at 100% all of the time, but it is fine to always keep it topped off to ~80% or so. Topping it off daily is good.

* If you are someone who doesn't want to worry about not going to 100% all of the time the new iron based batteries (featured in base model 3 right now for instance) don't care, you can let those sit at 100%, and they are safer too. The downside is less total range range and/or more weight.
You miss the point. "Scientists" literally lied about the nutritional issues, as well as the smoking. They were "bought off" by companies. Now, I'm sure you have 100% confidence that the "current administration" is 100% by the book and honest in all of their dealings. While, you might have had less than 100% confidence that the previous administration was. My point? You trust one group, but not another. I might trust the other, not your group. These "groups" (I mean political, business, whatever is controlling the narrative) will lie, cheat and steal to get "their" agenda across.

That last point is 100% undeniable!!! History has absolute clarity that political forces will force the narrative to their desired viewpoint, and say what you will, deny that to your own peril and ignorance.

So, do I "trust the science?". I have an MSEE (not a scientist, but educated). I trust the science, I just don't trust who controls the narrative, and historically this has a larger affect on what "science" concludes, than, uh, the actual science.

So, be as ignorant to the forces that control the narrative as you like. I'll remain skeptical, and look at both sides.

Oh, and, when the "forces that control the narrative" decide they must censure "one side", I'm hella suspicious of that.

Major Kudos to the Brits for recognizing this. Most sane thing I've heard out of anyone in a while.
> Ø or ⌀ is sometimes also used as a symbol for average value, particularly in German-speaking countries. ("Average" in German is Durchschnitt, directly translated as cut-through.)

From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98

My 2002 VW has the same and it means average over multiple trips. TM probably means this trip? You may have distance of the current trip and average consumption of the current trip (eg 40km, 6.3l/100km), then the last few trips with a combined average for those (eg 1500km, 5.4l/100km).

Wow, I've bookmarked this.

I also wrote an Markdown to HTML converter in Awk once, though my purpose was to convert marked down comments in source code to documentation. I started with an Awk script to extract the comments and then systematically added markdown features. My end result isn't very elegant though.

Premium views help a lot more than ad-supported views for creators, on the scale of 10-20x the payout per-view[0,1] (and it pays out regardless of the advertiser friendliness rating).

This has been a hot topic lately[2,3], but at what point is you watching YouTube for years without ads, without paying for Premium, ethically stealing or "piracy"? YouTube was buying petabytes of Hard Drive storage a day in 2012 to keep up with the demand[4], i'm sure it's nearly an Exabyte a day or more right now, so it doesn't cost $0 for YouTube to run the service, they just happen to have enough people on Mobile watching and clicking ads to make a profit[5] and subsidize the rest of us.

> I can search the words. I can ask people what the words mean. If don’t even know what the symbols are called then how do I begin?

Usually by looking at the words that surround the equation. Most math texts will introduce notation in words, and it's common to repeat something in words and notation (e.g. 'let the field extension L/k...'). I have studied math for five years and I don't think I ever had the problem of not knowing how to search for something. The only problem I had with notation was finding the LaTeX code for a specific symbol, but other than that the bigger problem were the concepts.

There are also glossaries at the end of books and in some specialized pages too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical_symbo...)

> I couldn’t ask what a symbol meant when I couldn’t say what the symbol was. I couldn’t write down a symbol whose name was read out when I didn’t know what it should look like.

In my classes these problems were usually solved by asking "what's that wiggly thingy" or "how do you write 'alpha'".

And the greek alphabet is not used because mathematicians like to annoy people. There are certain customs for how objects are notated. x,y,z for unknowns/variables; f,g,h for variables; α,β for angles; A,B for matrices; G, H for groups... They are used because, even though they might be harder for beginners, they aren't harder than the concepts they're describing and help a lot in reducing the cognitive load when reading things.
I appreciate the concept here, but I have to ask: do you have a security page for this that documents the controls in place?

I get that that's probably not a priority for a startup, but the risk in someone relying on this for contract-work getting burned by someone exploiting your platform is pretty great (i.e potentially unbounded downside), especially if the detection/response processes don't catch or can't properly identify the adversary.

I'm trying to account for the scenario where an adversary exploits a flaw that allows them to sign a contract on behalf of a client of the service at a time when audit trails aren't thorough enough for the client to repudiate a false signature.
"Ugly" produce out in a field needs to be picked, transported, and stored. Even if it's going to end up as compost it costs money to get it from the field to where it'll be composted. If it's just left in place it'll get composted when the field is turned over.

In the meantime it'll feed wild animals that will themselves feed other wild animals. It's not like it's a total waste, it just doesn't make it to store shelves. Note that produce might be "ugly" because of actual problems with that piece of produce. Unless you can examine every single piece to differentiate between a bruise, rot, or vermin it's probably best just to leave it in the field.
> How do you go from talking to someone during some hobby activity to a friendship outside of that activity?

This is where having multiple hobbies not only adds depth to conversations & makes you more interesting, it allows you to cross-pollinate your friend groups from each hobby. If you join a cross fit gym and a running group (as others have mentioned in the thread), then you invite someone from the gym to the group or vice versa.

The invitation can either be a "I think you'd really enjoy this activity", in which case you're introducing them to something new and cool, or it can be "I think you'd really like the people I do X with" in which case you're helping them meet friends.

People who take you up on the offer to either try something new or meet new people with you as their guide are sure to become friends. You get to see each other in new elements and your relationship can now trascend simply doing one activity together.

I think this approach feels a lot more natural than jumping straight to "hey, I've seen you at the rock gym a bunch, let's get coffee?" which can feel like a big jump and somewhat forced.
Sounds incredibly dangerous. You mentioned you had most of the voyage at -5C.
