> This is some overly dramatic bullshit. Just because I punched Johnny because he was being a dick doesn't mean I'm punching anyone else. Simply people very rarely go on assault rampages. The fact you think they would shows out of touch you are.

And howd you know that? wait for them to punch others too? or wait for Johny's friend to return the deed?

Well doesnt matter to me. Anyone who resorted to violence while on a flight should be detained, even if the assaulter assault that_guy_iain for being a dick

Would also be interesting to see if this is a Java issue, or a JVM implementation issue: ie, does an OpenJ9 based JVM (Available under the weird IBM Semeru name here [1]) have similar behaviour?

Combining here-string with `jq` (if you need variables), is plenty good enough. You'd need a single jq invocation.
This is why it’s important to support candidates that truly support lowering regulations.
A candidate that’s actually serious about this will be eviscerated though.
That is part of it, but as the orbit shrinks, relativistic effects start to become the dominant source of orbit decay.

The most striking demonstration of this effect is what happens around the photon sphere (3/2 the radius of the event horizon of a non-rotating black hole. The orbital velocity at this radius is the speed of light. Consider the two body problem, of a single mass interacting gravitationally with the black hole. If this mass crosses the photon sphere from the outside, it will inevitably spiral into the event horizon. If the mass crosses the photon sphere from the inside, it will either escape to infinity proceed to cross it again from the outside (and subsequently spiral into the event horizon).

The more general phenomena is orbital decay that happens in any 2 body problem under general relativity. From a conservation of energy standpoint, the massive amounts of energy contained within gravitational waves come from the release of gravitational potential energy as the two orbiting objects fall towards each other.
They're not barred from the profession. There are trucking jobs within the US they can do. As far as going to the US from Canada, you'd have to blame the US on that one.

People whose job requires international travel have always been expected to keep up to date regulations. Truckers were just an exception.
You forgot one step (which further highlights the absurdity of this system): US citizens elect "presidential electors" who then elect the president.
I think you misunderstand my position as well as who you need to convince. It’s not angry people who vehemently believe that we need more surveillance. It’s apathy. Why should I care?

(I do care, and like I mentioned in my original comment, I agree with the parent).
Check if your domain registrar comes with a free mailbox and mail forwarding (e.g. Gandi), and you can wire it up to a free gmail account with a custom domain. Useful for branding side projects more with custom email addresses.

By the way, is there something special about Cloudflare email routing that people keep mentioning? Don't most registrars come with mail forwarding? It's different?

This is a toxic comment that adds nothing to the conversation.
I get your point - and also that 'never' is not the right word - but I don't think the defense is that you didn't read the contract. There are plenty of cases where people get screwed over for not reading a contract.

E.g. if ToS said I needed to give up my first born to Adobe, the judge isn't going to side with me because I didn't read the ToS. They will side with me because the clause isn't valid.
long term probably a lot less than bombing and occupying other countries so our hegemony can be asserted all over the place... we have 330 million people and spend more than every other country in the world combined on war. A list including china that has 1,440 million people and india which has 1,400 million people.

Seems when the question is war the answer is always yes but when the question is can we help our citizens the answer is how can we pay for it?

The long term compounding benefits of children not being in poverty is a huge win on a society.

> It’s hard to tell when someone has bought a product.

How about, "I've literally got it in my last-day purchase history on eBay and they keep showing me the same thing and a bunch of related stuff to the item that hasn't even arrived yet, but that they've taken my money for"?

... and then eBay follows me around showing the same stuff on other sites. The thing I've purchased. From eBay. At least, they did, until I got more aggressive blocking ads and started using the internet a ton less.
Using Gmail labels for IMAP is not really ideal if you assign multiple labels, because if you end up syncing to another provider all those virtual "subfolders" has duplicate messages. You're much better off using your email client's built in labels and just syncing the 'All Mail' folder.

Which stat? The poster didn't provide any.

Scientists are paid salaries and need to eat and stuff, so it doesn't really make sense to me to ignore inflation there.
One small thing regarding all this that I think you should toss around as a hypothesis:

Generally, people with a background studying modernism and post-modernism (especially the later) will agree that it is the events of the world that create these, not the other way around.

There is this common, mainstream belief that somehow post-modernism created a crazier world, when the vast majority of artists and thinkers labeled post-modern are describing they crazy world they see, not arguing for it's existence.

Of course there are many perspectives on exactly what it is that creates these trends, for example their are plenty of theorists who posit post-modernism as a reaction to the horrors of WWII and a complete rejection of any claims Western culture has to truth or value (whereas the Moderns are generally considered to be making a last ditch effort to salvage Western culture), while other theorists view post-modernism as largely the result of late stage capitalism.

So whatever your opinions about the condition of (post) modernism, it's worth double checking your causal assumptions.
I like the concept of "defining a spec to meet for achieving a goal". Perfectionism is spec for "flawless" and that may very well be what's required to achieve one's goal but usually it's not necessary.

What spec you need is based on the goal. You can build cars using different specs and you may achieve a luxury car or an every sedan and both have "succeeded" if they meet their specs and sell to their respective markets
Yes, `jq` would work fine, but so would `jo`. The point is, if there is anything more than the simplest dynamic values, constructing valid JSON just with POSIX shell is a huge pain.
I wonder what happens when someone overrides the system to make the heaters and subscription items work without paying?
Even if the perfect version of this exists, it will _not_ save you from needing backups. The FS can always screw up or the drive(s) go bad.
This is actually a really big and growing problem IMO.

I gave up trying to run SMTP ourselves years (decades?) ago. Services like Sendgrid et al all made it very easy.

However, in the last couple of years I've noticed even the basic paid plan on Sendgrid, Sparkpost, Mailgun (I've tried them all now I think?) still gets constantly blacklisted. Going to support gives you one answer: upgrade to a dedicated IP, which is close to $100/month, and really quite wasteful on the IPv4 space (if anyone knows a cheaper/better alternative, please let me know!).

The problem is I am often building systems which require very little (but really important) email - the odd password reset request perhaps.

For small webapps you're going to be spending probably more for this dedicated email IP than the rest of your infra combined.
See, the entire reason these protests are stupid, is because what they're actually protesting is US policy that requires them to be vaccinated or test negative to enter the US. You are correct, they will not be turned away at the border coming back to Canada.

They are protesting US policy in Ottawa because this is really auxillary to the political goals of the organizers.
HTML5+JS is the best stack for games that will work in the browser without installing any additional software. PixiJS and Phaser seem to be two great libraries. However, it is nontrivial to cheat in JS games. And I'm not aware of any game dev-specific IDE for HTML5 games; the development will be more "manual."

Unity requires installing a browser plugin before your game can be played. However the games might get more access to the computer's resources. Also it will be harder to cheat in a Unity-based game. Unity comes with an IDE that is geared towards game dev. And it should be easier to port your game to other platforms like iOS, Android, Switch, etc.

“I don’t start projects with a direct goal.”

These are hobbies that fail as “projects” because they aren’t projects (it sounds like they were actually successful hobbies).

Here’s the PMI definition of project:

> All projects are a temporary effort to create value through a unique product, service or result. All projects have a beginning and an end. They have a team, a budget, a schedule and a set of expectations the team needs to meet. Each project is unique and differs from routine operations—the ongoing activities of an organization—because projects reach a conclusion once the goal is achieved.
I use an ad blocker so don't generally see ads. However, I own a Kindle Voyage which I use to read sci-fi and fantasy novels. I have not paid the extra $20 or whatever it is to disable the ads. The ads are definitely targeted, as I only see ads for books related to what I've already purchased and read. In fact, all I see is ads for books in the series I happen to be reading at the time. For example, I'm finally getting around to reading the rest of the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series. I started over and now I'm on book 5, all purchased through Amazon so far, all directly through the store on the kindle. And it just keeps advertising books 1-5 (which I've already purchased). It makes no sense.

I have a list of authors I follow on amazon.com. It would be a better use of everyone's time if they just picked a random book from any of my favorite authors, made sure I hadn't already purchased it through amazon, and only then show it to me. It's like they're not even trying.
The ads are very effective, but ad agencies are not filled with top tier people, you can train someone to run ad campaigns in a day. As a result, much of the button pushers at small agencies are recent grads with backgrounds not well suited to optimization.

A remarketing ad can be set up using exclusion lists to stop display after a purchase ( checkout page cookie), also most should be set up with limits. These are basic,obvious and easy things to implement. Attribution isn't always perfect but what you observed is more of a reflection of the high frequency of low tier ad managers. Many don't know any better, many don't care, many have no access to actually edit a client website (or know how)

It's the wild west still.

The example you used is also of a brand that I am overmarketed to, whoever is spending their money has some belief or knowledge of very broad targeting that I don't understand. I have not nor ever will buy blinds and my browsing behavior does not align with the obvious interest groups one would pick.

It's not just the small agencies that blow money, someone is patting themselves on the back about the 100,000,000+ impressions they are generating daily for selectblinds, but that funnel is going to be ugly when it's time to jazz up their presentation to show off that success!
“Terror” about describes it if it’s your neighborhood and not just a scene on TV. The people breaking windows of businesses that don’t sport the right stickers or threatening violence against those not wearing the right clothes or making the right salutes are appropriately called “terrorists” if not worse. I don’t take the label terrorist to heart when it’s some bullshit overseas conflict, but I know what structure fires look like, I know what mob frenzy looks like. I know what actual political violence looks like. I know how dangerous self-righteous violence can be. Calling antifa terrorists is spot on because that’s what they were/are as demonstrated/experienced by their actions and goals (of which, ant-fascism seems about opposite).
Yes and no. Yes opacity is what is in the alpha channel. But all im saying is that it would be easiest for all to think of as inverse of transparency, and this is how documentation should describe it, otherwise people make weird assumptions like OPs. Its stored as opacity rather than transparency for minor performant reasons not because its a different concept or better way to think of it
To me, it's completely pointless. I don't buy from ads. Never ever. Not on Tv, not on the web. If something is advertised on me, I tend to hate it. I start my shopping on Amazon, then look for alternatives in shops I know, then compare the prices.
Quit the phone, zap the TV, install an adblocker.
Beware, I'm not saying I'm a robot, I just distaste the ad language, and prefer comparisons. Remember the Bill Hicks sketch about ads people? That's me.
Do you have a public repo with examples of this in action?
The iPhone had a barometer for 3 years before this article was written. I believe Dark Sky used the barometer to detect changes in air pressure.
The only advice I can give op is to find another person to help marketing/grow stuff.

I also fell into the trap of making products without thinking about sale/marketing (or I thought I could do it myself). Turn out the mindset of the creator and the mindset of the hustler is widely different. I am sure many others out there can do both, but it is better for me and OP to accept that as fact and find a cofounder. You will be surprise how changing the narrative can change how customers perceive your product.
I see, it is rich text content with a tiny font and white color. Neat.
This is the most bizarre use of Facebook I've ever heard of
As I mentioned in another comment, programming languages have historically been designed as left-to-right sequences of nouns, verbs and adjectives, in a way that mimics the sentence organization of English. Coding is very much a practice of thinking within the structures of the English language, and its this mimicry of a spoken language which provides the context to apply those logic lessons to real life.

Otherwise, it's just more math, which we've already established does not (on its own) provide a solid enough foundation to develop problem solving skills for most people.

That's the difference, and why it's both a meaningful and accurate statement.
Not necessarily. Besides, if that were the case, you would lose the ability to say you've learned anything at all... which, sadly, is also a self-contradiction. Only someone who knows can make such statements, another self-contradiction, so they wouldn't say them either. If you look in practical cases, people who really master a subject don't seem to have many questions left at all. The real problem is humans have not mastered physics yet.
They've got a new UX coming down the pipe, remains to be seen what the performance is like, but looks more modern at least.
I think he’d get much better results if he was simulating the actual physical blobs of lava using the ML model and then rendering those as opposed to generating the image using ML.
The best way to help build a city on Mars, or the Moon, or anywhere else with a solid surface at the appropriate temperature range, is to figure out how to build a von Neuman probe that we can send a few of to the target, then have them build copies of themselves that extract resources from the environment and build redundant copies of an environment suitable for humans to inhabit, near enough to each other to ensure an evacuation or transit between them was practical.

Funding research along these lines wouldn't be the quickest, or most headline grabbing way to get things done, but it would be efficient in terms of launch costs and risk of human lives.

This could be done in stages. The first of which is to build something that works here, on earth, in anyone's back yard. It just has to collect resources and refine them sufficiently to make it possible to build another one.
> literally phrased as a grand narrative

Can you point me to one serious postmodern theorist that holds this view? There are many different views of the postmodern, but rejection of meta-narratives (academic speak for "grand narrative" here) is pretty much universally accepted.
honestly as long as the logic graphics aren’t particularly complex you’ll probably be best using TypeScript. Just make a small site in something like vite.

See https://github.com/collections/javascript-game-engines for a list of game engines. ive used pixi.js and it’s a very good graphics library although it doesn’t have other “game-engine” features like physics (you could use matter.js which is a standalone physics library). Others recommend phaser which is a real game engine although it looks kind of dated.

For accounts, multiplayer, iap, etc. you’ll need a server. This can also be done in TypeScript or choose any other server framework. There are JavaScript libraries like Koa for web-socket communication.
It's really neat when the big boys end up doing it right in an accessible way. Nintendo's Virtual Console(VC) releases on the Wii support a lovely 240p over composite/s-video/component. This makes it easy for novices to get a clear image on consumer 480i TV without much fiddling.

Sadly not every VC game supports this feature. It's also hidden behind an undocumented button ritual to enable tje first time.
> Enthusiasm and loneliness are killing factors

Yup, I know this one quite well.

My day job is Not Programming and Not In IT, and I need it that way for my sanity. But my hobby has been coding for...35 years now? It's hard to have a few projects so far "out there" and no one IRL to talk to about it.

Got some nice folks online though. :)
Absolutely yes.

I did both academic research (recommendation engine algorithms) and industry work (leading online advertising at a large e-commerce ). I can confidently say from my background that the targeted advertising works.

In fact, it works so well that it is almost awe-inspiring to see it in real action. Any e-commerce or advertising firms, including my former team, have internal data to support this claim. For our case, the difference between a highly optimized traditional adverting vs a crude targeted advertising algo is a still factor of N in favor of the algo (N >> 1). As the algo is optimized, N grows larger.
Very fortunately, USB smartcards still work, work accross platforms, work without change since V1 of Chrome, and are really out of Chrome devs reach since they operate on the OS platform lib level in Windows.
I have ad blindness. I never see the ads. Even the floaters, I just look around them till they're gone.

I do peruse ads in my muscle car magazines, because that's why I buy those magazines.

I enjoy the ad placements in those car hotrodding TV shows, because I am interested in how to do the projects they're doing, and the stuff needed to do them.

Amazon pushes ads to my kindle, but I couldn't tell you what they were for because they don't register on my brain.

Not only do they want full control of all levels of government, but they also want to be able to tell all private companies that they need to rehire people fired
This is the answer that makes me wild.

I’m born and raised Canadian, and look at Norway as the small version of what Canada could be. Oil is a finite resource. We could simply say “you can extract some of it if you follow every single one of these environmental regulations, and pay enough in taxes that we can grow a massive fund while also investing in green energy AND the tools we need to hold you accountable. If you break one, it’s a crippling fine. If you break more or a referendum says you’re out, you’re out.”
I grew up in Whittier and those photos really take me back. Apartment 510 means fifth floor, north-east side. I was 905, ninth floor north west side, same layout, but mirrored.

They have retained the original shitty steel kitchen cabinets and steel trimmed formica counters where my mom made all our meals, and baked bread and made wild blueberry jam, and all that.

I don't know, the jo command seems a lot more readable to me than compressing json to a one line string. How is it toxic to call out a silly truthism?
That’s the thing, you probably have.

There are ads that want you to buy something, and there are ads that, when you are making a choice between products, you’ll go with the brand you’re most familiar with.

Ads build that familiarity.
I also like kinopio and use it daily. However, I don’t think it is suitable to take note (even short one)
