They provide help and CI hardware. I have no desire to be either employed by Apple or work on Homebrew for a living (currently, at least).
To this day pirating adobe's stuff is straight forward. They don't seem to be trying really hard to sto piracy probably because they know their money comes from enterprise. To put things in perspective the same crack has been working for releases from the last 2 years. If they really wanted to keep piracy at bay they could have made the lives of people who don't pay harder.
Because otherwise you’ll have to sift through tons of garbage “research”. It’s already a common knowledge that many articles coming from certain countries are fraudulent. There’s a lower chance of having those in journals like Nature Medicine.
Their upcoming operating system fuchsia? They have to first release it and then persuade most manufactures to use it and explain why they should invest money into it instead of their currently profitable android devices.

It's not going be that easy for them like with android. They had WearOS for a while and I bet they had give some big carrot to Samsung so that they finally use it instead of Tizen. Same with Google TV - Samsung prefer tizen, LG sticks with webOS. Google's IoT platforms (forgot the name) were a flop. Chromebook - mostly irrelevant and devs don't want to write software for that - recently they killed Chrome App Store.
I have a hunch that it may be possible to learn those with an RL model or Contextual Bandit.
FYI - that mindset right there is a huge problem and red flag, especially if you’re staying.

I have never seen it be managements job to manipulate anyone anywhere. It is managements job to make
the business work (manage it). In some places, the agreed upon way that management does this is by manipulating, lying, cheating, etc.

Those places are toxic.

It is also possible for people and workers to become toxic as a culture, and cause otherwise fine and well meaning behavior to be perceived as toxic and make a toxic workplace for everyone due to no/ineffective action from management.

I’ve never seen it be just one side for very long, unless both sides are feeding it it.

It builds a sick system, and like all systems, it has to be self reinforcing to continue to exist.

I’m not saying everyone is perfect - far from it. I’m saying that lack of trust and perceived negative intent from others (especially in positions of authority), lack of a feeling of agency in getting a different outcome or impacting current conditions are all, etc. are a dark place to be, and one that does not help oneself get better. If you’re not even considering finding somewhere else, that produces very very bad outcomes for everyone in the long run.

If you are not considering getting help in understanding or tackling the situation from your side, that also produces bad outcomes for you long term.
They had resumed adding articles after receiving legal advice that the Delhi High Court injunction only applied for a few months.

The original use case (I believe) was tcmalloc. Tcmalloc maintained per-thread caches of free memory, but that's wasteful since it increases fragmentation but has no parallelism advantage compared to per-CPU buffers. OTOH, you can't just use per-CPU data since you can get preempted, hence rseq. malloc from the per-CPU cache without locking, and free to any other cache without locking.
this one, also by RoccoW, is perhaps better for complete beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLBUyAQ3_dQ

As much as people like to shit on electron, I rather have an electron app than no app when it comes to cross-platform compatibility and features.

The reason why Electron is so successful is because the other UI frameworks simply don't solve the problems people have as elegantly. Doing "custom" UI elements is super easy with CSS and there are many many developers for that, while doing so with WPF or QT requires far more skill and is a lot more quirky.
> Chrome without uBlock (or any browser really) is unusable.

Source? If this is anecdotal, it seems unlikely that it’s representative.
Of course, they would not do that publicly, but who knows if some of them might hide behind throwaways and might gently try to nudge the poster towards what they think could work better?
> Spikes—wearing the standard black turtleneck, jeans, and tennis shoes associated with Steve Jobs and Elizabeth Holmes—announced that MoviePass is moving towards a system where people watch ads to earn virtual currency that they then spend on movies.

What a joke. These people are parodies of themselves.

> Spikes said that all of this will happen locally on the users phone. “Part of the direction we’re doing from a web3 perspective is, this is happening only on your phone, uniquely to you, and the credits that are earned are your credits that go into your virtual wallet that you get to spend,” he said. “So it’s your own money.”

Creating something with it's own "currency" is all it takes to be web 3? And it's not "money". All it effectively is is a gift card that for some reason the decided to call virtual currency. Since they use the term "virtual wallet" I'm guessing it's using blockchain technology. What's the point? Who cares if you store the gift card itself on your phone instead of a pointer to your gift card on their server? So you can transfer your credits to someone else without Movie Pass knowing? Innovative! The fact that they're stored on your phone doesn't make them any more valuable. If theaters stop accepting these credits your credits are worthless no matter where they are stored.

So really what I'm getting at is how is this any better than just paying someone with gift cards for watching ads?
So those are scare quotes not actually quotation?

If we don't experience a performance problem, we don't need a workaround.
I like your optimism but even in centrally managed systems people won't upgrade.

I've been harassing other employees to move away from our old Prometheus instance to our new one and it's been a real uphill battle. The only work is (1) copy over the alerts they want to keep to the new storage location. By copy, I mean literally copy. (2) Change the datasource pointer in grafana to the new prometheus location

Because research can be controversial. There’re papers in my field saying patients have increased frequency of certain cells. There’re other papers saying they’re not. Go figure.
The way I see it, text is an external representation of human thought. If I could transmit my thoughts to you by telepathy, wee wouldn’t use text. Text cannot represent everything, so we invented drawings and paintings as representation of our thought. Text in itself has no meaning.

The fact that a combination of letters generated by a Bayesian filter makes sense is just a coincidence. It just passes our “makes sense” filter which allow our brains to differentiate signal from noise. But it doesn’t represent anything.
I have to wonder if they're identifying the right core competencies here.

A general-purpose call centre operator who supports 20 different firms knows how to set up phone systems and churn bodies, but they will, by nature, be unable to optimize around your specific customer needs and internal platforms. The customer-service experience will inherently be worse-- worse answers, more escalations required to get to an outcome, and potentially some resolutions simply not available to a siloed third party.

On the other hand, I suspect that's part of the way they've priced customer service. Getting customers ravingly satisfied with their experience isn't the goal, it's "just enough so they don't litigate or start leaving negative external press." The fact you moved down from "first-choice default go-to store" to "I'll also check Newegg and Amazon before my next purchase" doesn't really show up in this quarter's financials.
Yes and no. There is always the option of being a "townie". I moved into a city 15 years ago and often ponder what life would be like if I had stayed, and what I want for my children.

While city life certainly comes with more monetary opportunity, I am still not sure it is worth the costs. I earn 200k/yr and struggle with the prospect of being a home owner here, knowing full well I make well above the median. Visiting my home town, I talk with peers who stuck around and bought homes with a bar tender's salary shortly after graduating highschool. They have their own challenges, but they are very different than mine. The grass is always greener, but I feel that the American dream of family, home ownership, and independence and is much more attainable in small towns.

How they are able to store data without being seized?
The only example I was aware of was (a now defunct?) masters program by I want to say Oxford, but I haven't been able to turn it up recently.

In any case -- until you have complete undergrad for $5-7k and doable part time, no, these jobs aren't accessible.
Maybe if you define quality of life very narrowly as material possession (in a very superficial sense) than yes, maybe?

Sure, the average American drives a bigger car and lives in a bigger house than the average European, but I believe that's more a function of geography and population density than indicative of quality of life.
In my personal experience when visiting the US, I'm more blown away by the apparent rampant homelessness problem in big cities, the inhosipitablesness of roads for anything but a car, parts of big cities being practical ghettos. When I travel the world, I hardly ever meet any Americans except for the old and retired that are finally able to travel the world, most likely resulting from a generally anti lesuire work culture.

Sure, there are many great things about the US and if you're part of the middle class, your reletively wealthy, I wouldn't equate that with quality of life though
I'm sure they would want to track my balls, too - if allow them to! People are really stupid to betray their own freedom and interest just to save a few bucks per month!
Because people don’t Like condos?
Did you yourself look at your bank statements? A refund doesn’t always show up as a refund, it sometimes shows up as a cancelled charge. A bank might not notify you of that.

Yes. My wife keeps a meticulous administration, the 125 Euro showing up again would be noticed immediately. My impression was that Booking.com wasn't going to refund the money, but was pressuring the hotel to do the refund, and they either transferred it to an incorrect account or didn't transfer it all and was feeding Booking.com false information.

However, you can't be the middle man when it suits you (get a certain percentage for every reservation), but not be the middle man when it doesn't suit you. The proper approach would be for Booking.com to refund the money and then settle things with the hotel. But they are clearly not very customer-oriented.
I can understand why Amazon would have strict thresholds on this content, as it seems like an easy target for abuse.

If I'm reading you correctly, you were a bike enthusiast who made a helpful website for decoding tire SKUs. Does the affiliate program give you commissions on items that sell through your account webpage? Were you selling tires / an Amazon affiliate before?

It just seems like an odd thing to monetize, but I admire your entrepreneurial spirit!
> You go to cities for commerce, optionality, stimulation, sex, culture, bright lights, and the feeling of being relevant. Cities tell you that, whatever human life is about, you are right on top of it.

No, Sasha, most people go to the city to escape poverty.
This might sound weird but give it a try.

Find a small area of bare earth, not too dry but not muddy. Clear it carefully of rocks and twigs and such. Then stand on it barefoot, or sit on a chair placed so that your bare feet rest on it. Take several deep breaths and feel into the earth with the soles of your feet. Take about ten minutes.

This should help you calm your mind and ground yourself.
According to the ontological argument: ‘god’ is the reason why there is a something rather than a nothing. It’s certain that such a thing exists but you can’t determine any of the characteristics it has.
It doesn't have to be significant. Just having 1 hacker in the 100 PLAYERS PER LOBBY will ruin the game - there will be no chance of a legitimate player winning, ever.

Games have been abandoned even though companies actively catch cheaters because no one wants to play against someone with an unfair advantage. If Epic releases a game where they literally cannot catch cheaters, that game will be abandoned in a week.

Your defense of cheating is laughable. People are trying to play a game with a closed set of rules. Saying that your hacks are legal because they're turing-complete is completely nonsensical. You are not playing the same game that people signed up for. You're hijacking someone else's enjoyment for your own power fantasies.
That’s really interesting, thank you.

As you say, it seems like there’s a significant grey area that needs to be resolved, and I could see it being quite difficult to figure out where to draw the line in practice.
I noticed when my firefox upgraded itself I got yet another giant fullscreen pocket ad...
> Are there mandatory vaccines outside of the COVID-19 ones?

Yes, there are testing and/or vaccination requirements for a number of communicable diseases and particular jobs, based on the public health risk profile (prevalence, infectiousness, and virulence) of the disease and the specific contours (contact level, contact population, etc.) of the jobs involved.
It means they don't actually understand networking, but think they do.
As a bisexual, I've met more promiscuous women than men.
We still got no news about self hosting of pocket. Does authentication work with a selfhosted Firefox Accounts instance?
But they didn’t with Concorde. There are more first class seats across the Atlantic (well pre covid) than Concorde, but the latter failed to be as profitable, and super sonic business jets aren’t a thing.
I’ve been working on finding a successor and ensuring the project has a bus factor of more than one for at least. The latter has been solved but the prior won’t until I step down, despite my best efforts otherwise.
Really cool. Several jobs ago, I used cffi to create bindings to a library that controlled a camera's pan/tilt/zoom motors. Those were used to implement a test suite that validates the cameras in the manufacturing facility before shipping. The embedded developers also found being able to use the cffi bindings in the REPL really useful when prototyping changes. Python is a really useful tool for these kinds of interfaces.
Interfering with her reception of broadcast TV is what is illegal. It doesn't need to impact more than one person. Cable is a different matter, you could try for civil damages but I see that as unlikely to get anywhere.

That said, being too loud is interfering with someone's life, so personally seems fair.
> This right here is what so many people who never leave big cities miss out on.

I think this is also a highly idealized version of these people. I grew up in the Bay Area but have spent the majority of the last 5 years in Montana. There are plenty of kind and gracious people, but there are also a huge amount of people that do actually care about how you behave and where youre from. Ive been told countless times to leave the state, go back to where Im from, etc.

The culture is definitely different from cities, but anyone who tells you its all rainbows, sunshine, and people saying "god bless" no matter what is lying to you.
I just recently got into a few old games with mods and stuff, and am having my share of sites gone up Lethe, search engines being clueless lately, file sharing sites poofed into the wind or serving a 404, and things just not behaving in my environment. Now that I'm also presented with the thought of all info being clumped into endless inaccessible chat logs, I'm already mourning for when I try to fiddle with current-ish games in ten years from now and fail miserably. Plus, If Discord itself disappears, that'll be a massive brain fart for gaming as a whole.

Individual pages for each discussion are awesome, how are people not seeing that? There are of course two sides: that keeping Discord channels is easy (I guess) and brain-dumping into the chats is effortless, for better or worse; and that searching for past info is impossible—but who thinks of that now. Good luck to me in ten years, with reading through ten years worth of chats.

(Gamers are already pretty bad at having their mod files preserved and served securely, what with shady file sharing sites that keep dying, and no checksums anywhere. And with complete absence of open-source culture—just download this binary linked in a forum comment, from a shady site, and run it with admin privileges, what could go wrong!)
“to escape poverty” is a subset of “for commerce”.
Part of the game is realizing everyone is playing a different game. Then getting better at your own game. Sometimes it will be possible to be doing something you have intrinsic motivation for. Other times it will be something you do just to put food on the table. Sometimes it will be neither at all.

random observation: don't you think it's kind of interesting the way you are asking strangers about the right way to evaluate your own personal inner thoughts about the way you compare yourself to others? :)
I saw that tweet, but it doesn't change the material reality: try plugging in some DOIs from recent article from the last year, and they will not be there.

Scihub used to be a great resource, now it's only a resource for old research. Still useful for background material, but not for current work.

I also don't understand why the Indian court case has any impact on new article availability. The owner is not Indian. The servers and domains are not Indian. There doesn't seem to be any actual reason to stop adding new articles, other than some idiotic halfbaked point that only hurts the people who need the articles, like when Project Gutenberg banned anyone from a German IP, except this is much worse since there is no way around it for people who need new papers.
Was too poor to have a GameBoy and don't really remember what they sounded like. It's been 30 years since I've touched one. NES sound was pretty bad, honestly. Yes, I love the handful of Dr. Mario tunes but there were like 64 samples or something. Not bad but nowhere near the actual techno tunes from Streets of Rage 2/3.

Can't remember if the legend was SNES had the better audio than Mega Drive. I certainly don't remember things being this way.
yes but they control the conversion ratio to dollar gift cards. what do you think happens when significant percent of holders start demanding the giftcards?

miles are a losing game for consumer.
They have this, people just don't use them. A lot of MCUs have the functionality built in now.
Strange. Not funny. But the key of creating of an artificial world is not that they are artificial but it is a world. And we concern with the character because that world is linked to this world. Obviously some question is crazy. But what is his favourite food in earth, what tv programme he liked to watch … all valid questions. The storyline may mean it is not what the writer want to create. But the world is independent from the author somewhat. If he cannot add to it, we can. That is the fundamental argument for the arthur not the only voice matter in the world it created.
He means “lied about”. He may not know it but that’s what he means.
Many times. I haven’t found one yet whom I felt would take over everything I do. Given I still enjoy it, it feels like there’s no need to reduce the number of humans working on the project in the hope that it’ll encourage someone else to step up and do more.
You might be able to use CodeQL tooling for this https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-for-visual-studio-code... - write some CQL queries that can be bespoke to each question you're asking
Another alternative that I've seen used is a zip or tar with no compression if you are just appending files and reading but only rarely updating or deleting.

But sqlite is still better, it is more reliable, a bad write on that end of zip index destroys the whole zip archive and sqlite also gives you a lot more potential flexibility later on if you need to add metadata or something else. It is better in terms of inserts and deletes, although you will still need to vacuum.
Not only expected, but actually forced. In many places, a streak of a few years with no publications in prestigious journals can unrecoverably sink a researcher career.

>What if the universe had no beginning?

Relatively speaking, from the point of view of the human race, it shouldn't make a perceptible difference.
This feature is pretty niche and really only helps on high thread count workloads (relative to the number of cores). Otherwise you can use per-thread data and it'll be the same, since the number of threads is approximately (or less than) the number of cores.

What workloads are high thread count? Mainly servers, I think (at least I don't know if any others offhand). So OSes aimed for embedded use or desktop use don't gain much from this sort of thing. Linux dominates the server market.
Firefox accounts are terrible. I recently thought I had a second account because I got some error about not using the primary account when trying to reset the password using that email. Turns out that Mozilla still had an old account connected even though it was removed in their interface. If you look through their bug report history they've been plagued with similar issues that they've never been able to figure out. The Firefox Sync protocol is a mess.
Then the issue is in the aforementioned institutions. What's the point in blaming the techonlogy that solves part of the problem?
Sure. But when you first join there is no history which means that anyone new to the channel would ask the same questions because there was nothing they could search.
> because voting with votes does not really lead to representation. Right?

Indeed, it doesn't: this is because voting is susceptible to Sybil attacks, say by running ad campaigns that'll result in the less fortunate voters voting against their own interest after having been convinced to do so. This is also how a bunch of dictators get bootstrapped in democracies.

The core problem with voting is that every vote carries the same weight: lobbying corrects for that, by letting group of people organize so that their voices may not be drowned out, which inverts the power relationship (ads to convince voters => group of voters organizing to make their voice heard)
