I'm not making a legal argument. I'm making an "ought" argument. We're talking about legislation, not legal interpretation.
Yes you’re right regarding the True Sound customization using the mic.
My difficulty is the Sonos app keeps dropping connection because my router is set DHCP and the app expects the same static IP address as the day before but I have dynamic addressing. Doesn’t occur with my other IoT.
Personalizing my MacBook OS should be like personalizing my car while personalizing Netflix/Amazon etc should be like me expecting my local Walmart and Target to let me personalize their store. Is that a fair comparison?
Not OP, but Benchmarks Game has a performance test based on regex: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

The top times for the mentioned languages are:

Rust: 0.78s

Ruby: 12.33s

Java: 5.34s

Go: 3.80s

Python: 1.34s
The distinction between your two examples is not in the specific game design techniques.

In your first example the game designers are trying to make their game more enjoyable for players.

In the second example they're trying to extract more money out of players.

Listing a bunch of different game design tools that might be used to try to extract money out of people by a dishonest developer is missing the point because the specific mechanics are irrelevant, as you've pointed out with your examples.
> the fundamental problem of slow worldwide, globalized, decentralized consensus?

That's not necessarily a problem. Slow is ok if it's highly secure, reliable, and inexpensive relative to the amounts being moved or compared to other alternatives.
"I went to the market and offered $2 for a loaf of bread - the shopkeeper said no. So I offered $3, but he still said no. This must mean that no amount of money could possibly buy a loaf of bread and not that the price of bread has risen above what I offered."
Both of those issues: 1) slowing down the DNA, and 2) finding enough change in current to be able to distinguish bases, did not seem that they could work out. You really have to solve the first before you know if the second is solvable, but getting tiny molecules to behave as they flit through protein pores is not a trivial task, particularly around ~2000.

The signal processing is still quite significant, and I hear that if you don't have a compute box that's set up correctly, you can't get data to and from the GPU quickly enough for base calling (no personal experience, just heard friends griping about early experiences). So even with todays compite tech, the signal processing is pretty heavy duty, 2000 era hardware and algorithms would have far far less accuracy.

Which is all to say that yes, now it works, and my uncertainty was perhaps unwarranted. I'm super impressed that it works, and I've learned a ton of humility about guessing what other people can figure out how to do. David Deamer is a visionary, and all the people that worked so hard on it afterwards deserve major kudos.
Same here in NL plenty of google searches for phone numbers, even of government institutions will turn up numbers owned by scammers. Usually these will connect you through to some tape that pretends you are nth in line to keep you hanging while they ding your account for the maximum rate per minute. The phone companies are in cahoots, they make tons of money of this too.
No one who is familiar with viruses considers other human coronaviruses to be "the flu". They aren't even in the same phylum! All influenza viruses are Negarnaviricota whereas all coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 are Pisuviricota.

There are four other endemic human coronaviruses which typically cause common cold symptoms. Those symptoms are clinically distinct from the flu in most cases.

> I think one thing that weakly surprised me about the article was that cloud flare seem to be mostly using standard BSD sockets apis and, presumably, the kernel interface to the network cards. I would have expected their main products (ie being a CDN) to use more specialised network cards and userspace networking (eg the final function they give for UDP does a ton of syscalls, and for tcp it still does several) with a non-BSD api.

Hey! The current plan is to offer both versions, at least until the Rust/Electron app is at feature parity with the Mac app. In any case, the Mac app will continue to work, and you wouldn't be forced to switch versions.

On the Rust/Electron side, all the heavy lifting is done in Rust-land, and so far, it's going pretty well. It's not all roses of course - it takes a bounce or two to start instead of launching instantly, and it seems there's not much to be done about Electron's baseline memory usage or size on disk.

(I went down a crazy rabbit hole of compiling Chromium/Electron to see if there were things that could be stripped out, because I honestly don't need much, but realized that is a very large undertaking. Possibly another day. Some kind of "Electron Lite" would sure be awesome...)

But in general I'm spending an inordinate amount of time paying attention to performance. It was my main concern with the Electron platform. So far I've got playback on par, and stuff like loading files, silence detection, and drawing waveforms is actually faster than the Mac version. It feels snappy.

Performance is relative, so I'm not really sure the point being made here. Sure if your program has regex as the constrained resource this matters, but again it's all relative.
“Setting a good example” is completely and utterly subjective, and should not be left to a company to manage.
If society deems something is in the best interests of society, it should be regulated by law. Asking companies to mind themselves in regards to what is best for society at large, while also mandating they maximize value for shareholders, is confusing at best.
> Just because there aren't many alternative app stores on Android doesn't mean it won't happen on iOS.

This is all just conjecture. You don't have proof that it will happen to iOS.
An on-device service could upload executable hashes to Apple like on macOS, in addition to XProtect/MRT.
I stopped screwing around with the official twitter app years ago. I switched to Tweetbot and never looked back. No ads and chronological order are worth whatever the app costs to me.
A Sonos 5 is $100 AUD more expensive than the Port and has a line in.

https://www.sonos.com/en-au/shop/five

The Port and Amp are definitely aimed at the very high end consumer who wants a whole wireless system in their house and wants to connect to non Sonos speakers.
That's not necessarily true.

I don't know if this is empirically true in most situations, but you can at least conceive of a situation in which higher prices result in the poor (as a group) having a better chance of obtaining something.

In the limiting case where something costs 1p and you can buy an unlimited amount, someone wealthy can just swoop in and buy literally all of it and throw it in the bin.
That's right, increased competition will drive down the prices that Apple can charge. I don't think your argument is the slam dunk you think it is.
A used car is a used car. Caveat emptor beyond that.

Apple support line must be a support line for Apple. Using someone's likeness means they have approved to have their likeness used.

Even if these things are already illegal, and even if the publishers are nominally responsible for not allowing illegal advertisements, at least there will be a precedent of these kinds of scams actually getting prosecuted.

There needs to be an actual injunction against further fraud, meaning every instance is a liability, rather than what is most likely going to be a slap on the wrist.

One can dream, I guess.
> A recent improvement was in version 1.17, which passes function arguments and results in registers instead of on the stack. This was a significant improvement for GoAWK’s old tree-walking interpreter, where I saw a 38% increase in speed on one microbenchmark, and a 17% average speedup across all microbenchmarks

I find that surprising that Go did not use registers for its (internal) calling convention until 1.17. And I also find it surprising that they only expected a 5% boost from it.
Chann.el – Channel personalities to control your terminal
chann.el allows you to hand over control of your terminal, or messaging client to a language model. This is analogous to the new-age notion of channeling, hence the name.

It's one of the newest applications in Pen.el, which is a GPL-3 prompting IDE and server that uses GPT-3 and Codex.

The author mentions linux... but where does this happen on linux?

I love using a desktop that does exactly what I tell it. Yes it takes longer to set up. But I use a computer every day, it's worth it.
Cool, but India, Korea, China, Israel, and the EU all have imaging startups. Expecting Area 51 to stay unobserved when there were a few dozen spy satellites was fine. If China launches a Starlink-style constellation what’s the plan?

I grew up next to the 405, and I don't think I'd ever call the view from it beautiful!

But as far as music. Yes I just want to listen to my motor sometimes. But... I probably shouldn't admit this, but the reason I love driving to loud music is that I drive to the music. I prepare different MP3 mixes for my cars. The Datsun mixes are only music from 1970 to 1983, but I rotate the bands and songs before any long drive. When certain songs really take off I shift in time - I play the car like a guitar, and inevitably I want certain songs to come on when I know I'll be on an empty stretch of road with no cops and I can drive way too fast and shoot the curves. Blasting Kansas in an 80 Datsun at twice the speed limit is probably the closest I've ever gotten to pure joy.
No I honestly believe it. Never worked anywhere that even has middle managers
https://voidlinux.org/news/2018/05/serious-issues.html

Same problem as any other project with a single owner, or even a small team. It is at risk of disappearing one day, never to be heard from again.

There are a lot of important projects that fall into this category. It certainly isn't unique to Void.
Israel does not have anywhere close to 90%+ vaccination rate. They have a large subpopulation of refuseniks.
What funding? We don't fund projects, nor people. The feds refuse to tax the largest companies their fair share, while those companies profit heavily from public education and refuse to give back. There are far too many U.S. uni's, very reputable names, that gobble up tuition money and it never sees a lab. No equipment, no expertise, overwhelmingly it's people sitting on a guaranteed government paycheck with their union guaranteeing they're going to sit there and do the minimum possible. Those taxes come out of my paycheck, not pharma, or silicon valley.

Reminder if you attended a uni in 2010 the tuition has now doubled to tripled on average, and the quality of education has vastly diminished. Silicon valley is funding labs themselves because uni's have become freeloading institutions we have to defund but are too scared to.
What does a screen reader do with that? Not familiar with SCSS.
I wouldn’t call losing close to 1% of the population (or more if fully unchecked and without health care capacity) minor. That’s pretty damn major.

Multiple things can be bad all at the same time and at different scales without making one of them minor.
Apple is a common word. Apple support could be a farm selling apples.

If it was related to Apple the company. It could be a third-party selling ad repair services and support or educational material.

You can't ban ads because someone may not notice they are clicking an ad vs a normal search result. If you care you make the difference clearer.

Should there be a google-lite page that would be a filtered starting point for people like this?

She regularly lies by omission, and also leads the New Israel Fund, one of Adalah's chief financial supporters.

https://www.camera.org/article/yehudit-karp-erases-history-o...

Adalah also defends known Hamas leadership and has absurd amounts of documentation regarding its true, more nefarious purposes. That's why it's met with suspicion and not seen as a champion of civil rights.

> Without a vaccine, viruses will still evolve to be less virulent and more transmissible, leading to endemic status. Within this a large number of the population gain natural immunity also reducing spread.

This is a thorough misreading of the evolution of viruses.
Scoping dogs many game developers. It's not solely a ego or leadership thing, indies do it to themselves too.

The problem is that game scope blows up much faster than you expect because it's disproportionately based on how many contradictions appear in the initial design. That is, if you introduce overlapping systems like "can traverse spaceship interior and exterior on foot", "can open and close doors and airlocks", and "other players respond to physics", every way in which one system has been hacked into being (which is most of them, in games) will carry over to hacks in the others, with correspondingly more time spent on assets, testing, bugfixes, etc. Repeat that across an "everything" game and you automatically get an impossible project that could only be achieved with a much more intensive simulation everywhere(which would exceed any plausible computation budget). The design has to put its foot down somewhere and say "we aren't going there" to resolve whatever contradictions it can. For example, replacing fully traversable environments with cutscenes and UI, or replacing lengthy animations with iconography. The games that can justify going really deep into their simulation end up being pretty niche, like Dwarf Fortress.

But actually making the resolution to settle on a more streamlined focus that would cohere well also breaks the hype of "sheer possibility". As long as you keep adding more, more continues to seem possible. Both creators and fans like staying in that zone. Nobody likes cutting their sunk costs, so they will rush to justify keeping stuff that doesn't work in the game until the project is cancelled due to lack of progress.
I noticed the hospitalizations graph on my favorite source for Texas (Texas tribune) now reads “Total current patients with COVID-19 in hospitals”. That’s deceitful in my eyes because that includes anyone in the hospital for any reason who tests positive and not people only hospitalized because of Covid-19 which is what you’re expecting.

Also, the whole ICU capacity percentage numbers inducing so much fear and panic are very misleading. ICU capacity isn’t static it can be adjusted up and down. So saying ICU is at 98% capacity utilization is meaningless because it could be very well possible that ICU beds can be added and now ICU capacity is 75% utilization.
Obviously don't make it so you couldn't get back to your computer within an hour. But that still gives you a ton of options for things to do and a way higher quality of life than almost all workers have.
Very convenient. So much so that there must be one story of someone actually being attacked rather than just finding an AirTag, right?
I think the reason people are bringing this up in this thread is because even though it seems obvious to you, this website doesn't seem to make the distinction.

It just treats every instance of what it's decided are "dark patterns" as bad, regardless of whether they're being used maliciously or not.
It’s been trivial for decades. That’s not on apple.
For the JVM benchmark, unless you used Pattern.compile() and let the VM warm up (or used the JMH benchmark framework), your numbers are likely wildly off.
I renamed my master branches "yolo" and never looked back.
I've given GNOME (perhaps unfairly) a lot of flak in previous threads, but I think this is one of the main things responsible for the degrading software experience right here:

> One very surprising exception is Mac OS, which after decades of only allowing blue controls added the choice of color. But in most ways MacOS doesn't allow me to personalize things.

Now, it's an open secret that GNOME grabs a majority of it's design cues from MacOS, but this is one of the things that they don't need to and shouldn't copy. Desktop Linux has always lead the pack in this regard by allowing the user to directly manipulate the way "native" apps render, be it in Qt or GTK, and the effort to lock it all down for some perceived user/developer benefits are just silly.

Does anyone really think people would be using Linux if they didn't want to directly control the computer they're interacting with? Isn't that what software freedom is all about? I don't think anyone wants middlemen limiting what they're capable of doing on a computer. Sure, you might want sensible defaults or better accessibility for those settings (which is something desktop environments can definitely improve), but there are very few people lobbying for less control over their applications. I say this as both a user and a dev; stop taking things away from me. Not just CSS theming, but options for my dock and settings for my mouse. Arguably, this attempt to "centralize" the Linux experience has led to even more fragmentation with third-party tweak tools and countless extensions that break update-after-update. It's infuriating, and the author has hit the nail right on the head here: you can deliver a good default experience for the users and give people the tools they need to extend or modify that experience. The two are not mutually exclusive.
What did people say about Dropbox?
Me too.

For Virgil, because I am a fan of the roman poet, I am using roman numerals for the major versions and append a monotonically-increasing-regardless-of-major-version "00XXX" build number to that. This ensures they always sort lexicographically.

...until I get to version IX, i.e. 9, which would sort incorrectly. So I'll just skip 9, 19, 29...90...heh. :)
As far as I read about it, they don't! Dependency resolution is fully up to the user.

> The package management system does not track or manage dependencies; however, when performing the recommended full install, all dependencies of the stock packages are met. For custom installations or 3rd-party packages, Slackware relies on the user to ensure that the system has all the supporting system libraries and programs required by the program. Since no official lists of dependencies for stock packages are provided, if users decide to install a custom installation or install 3rd-party software, they will need to work through any possible missing dependencies themselves. Since the package manager doesn't manage dependencies, it will install any and all packages, whether or not dependencies are met. A user may find out that dependencies are missing only when attempting to use the software.

It'll soon be worthless. VR is not a moat and it's unlikely Zuckerberg will manage to convince people that putting on a VR headset and hanging out in a virtual space is going to be preferable to hanging out in real life. I'm surprised there wasn't a bigger selloff. At some point the US government will also start tightening data sharing requirements and at that point their ad targeting will be essentially be non-functional.
You can also drive any road but you choose the highway because it's the fastest and you know where it's headed.

You miss the point. No one is saying capitalism will literally cause breadlines. They are saying capitalism has made breadlines needed in some circumstances. These are different things but related.

I am definitely getting my money out of Amazon Prime. I ordered 269 items on Amazon last year and 281 the year before up from 93 and 91 the prior two years. Plus whatever my wife ordered which is probably at least that many.

I regularly get next day shipping on orders and often same day or overnight delivery.

Plus the free delivery of groceries is nice compared to paying for Instacart or shipt or the per delivery fee from the local grocery stores.

I don’t use many of the digital services except for occasionally prime video but definitely feel like I get a good value for all the shipping.
