Is there a simple explanation of why these donation aggregators like GSG even exist? If I want to donate money to X, why can't I send the money directly to X instead of through an intermediary like GSG?

An appropriate data type (you could use structs maybe) and methods for the common operations, concat, length, etc...

It's not as trivial "string s" like in other languages, but it's also not that big of a deal. Also, you make sure it works properly and you just use it anywhere you want.
It's such a lazy take, no they don't.

The Pentagon is spending millions on AI bias detection tools
Considering that I've developed a screen reader from the ground up, worked on the Narrator screen reader shipped with Windows, and routinely used screen readers to browse the web for almost 20 years, I think I know a thing or two about this.

So, it's true that screen readers have heuristics for detecting layout tables. But those heuristics aren't perfect. They're not even that sophisticated, at least the ones that I worked on. And some (most?) screen readers automatically announce any table that they don't detect as a layout table, even when continuously reading straight through the document. Notably, the screen reader I developed myself, which was the first one I routinely used, doesn't automatically announce tables unless the user is manually moving through the page, because I wanted to minimize verbal clutter when casually browsing the web. But when I went to work at Microsoft and started using Narrator to read my work email, I found the tables in certain HTML emails very annoying. Granted, Narrator didn't yet have a layout table heuristic at that time, but even when it did, that didn't entirely solve the problem. Luckily, there was also an overhaul in Narrator's verbosity levels while I was there, and that allowed me to eliminate the clutter of layout tables by reducing the verbosity level in my personal Narrator settings, perhaps at the cost of missing some other things.

Nested divs per se aren't a problem. Implementing a widget as a div without the appropriate ARIA markup is a problem.

Well, theoretically you could make a (pretty useless) Windows program that doesn't do any syscalls itself. It would mostly be limited to heating up the processor, but it would be a valid program. In fact, you could probably actually do some basic syscalls without linking to NTDLL by using very old DOS syscalls for things like printing to the console, perhaps with a compatibility mode.

Also, being pedantic, in Windows libc is a wrapper over Win32, which is partly itself a wrapper over NTDLL. For example, msvc's malloc() simply calls HeapAlloc() or some variant thereof.
I tried to share this link with a group chat on Facebook Messenger and it was blocked.
Large protests routinely coordinate with police, get permits, etc. "Peaceful assembly" rights of protestors have always been in conflict with "being able to cross the sidewalk / being able to sleep at night" rights of bystanders. In most countries there are administrative processes to get permits for large demonstrations, protests, or even just getting the police to block off streets for you to use (even if the message is against the police).

VS Code binaries might be under a different license that governs auto update and telemetry, but the code for all of VS Code itself is OSS. VSCodium is explicitly just a build of VS Code without any MS extras, and it's a stark difference from licensing the code so that there's zero competition in hosting the product as a managed service.
I can absolutely imagine such a situation, but my position doesn't change.

For government, there's only one impartial way to deal with this: Either it's legal, or it isn't. Any moral or ethical judgment will happen later after the movement succeeds or fails, but for the time being you either work with the law, or you leave the government. If you're found to be working against the laws of the land, that's more than ample reason to be kicked out of government.
When I said "these protestors", I meant the Freedom Convoy.
Yeh, as I remember they used to have their own hacks for it; what was really hard was mixing languages in a single program or document.
Where I work we brag about doing SaFe but we don't actually do it :))
I hope we soon can get proper whistleblower law because right now companies get away with way too much crap.

At least the state can use anything leaked no matter how it was obtained against the banks and companies.
What is the point of this? Just because ones first name is involved in some social/cultural "thing" that is negative, doesn't mean it impacts a person (I've been in this situation as a kid). It only affects someone if they are called the "thing" intentionally, which generally does not require a person to share the true name.

Edit: thanks for downvoting my opinion that this website is ineffectual without supplying any evidence that it does work, or is better than a well explained article.
For what it’s worth, Amsterdam doesn’t have anarcholiberal zoning rules. The article describes how the situation led to a ban that was put in place here, which presumably wouldn’t fly in an anarchist city.
I use Zoho. The spam detection is really good there, which is a bonus.
It works for pure Rust code but once you bring in C, you need another tool chain too. Same as Go, as far as I know.

Zig has both beat right now, as you do not need anything else in either case.

I don't know. I hate iOS with a burning passion, but the SEs/minis are the only devices that fit in my hand and have software support.

Android needs a way for OEMs to get some worthwhile profit in more than one market segment, and loading their own proprietary OSes isn't it.

It's honestly been 7 years since a had a smartphone I was excited about.
I've bought Proton Mail. But I don't like the fact that I depend on their mobile app instead of being able to use K9-Mail and their proton-bridge on desktop to connect to Thunderbird. Also they don't allow you to initiate an email with "From:" begin an alias (like "me+somealias@mydomain.com", you can only use "me@mydomain.com") (workaround is doing it from Thunderbird). I even requested this as a feature but their Support rejected the proposal.

Because of those I think I'll switch to something else (maybe Fastmail or Migadu) when my subscription ends in two years (I bought it with a 2 year discount and a sale).
No, but your choices impose a cost on me. And the rest of society. Society collectively saying "we're not going to put up with that particular set of costs generated by that particular choice" is not an assertion of "ownership", rather a collective agreement.

Externalities are an actual thing.
I store very few books on principle, and only have around 10. Only books that are worth re-reading get into the "library". Typically one book per topic. The book I enjoy re-reading the most is Oxford's collection of essays, and imagine this one will stay forever.
(Again -- what's with the downvotes on your comment? You have a legitimate opinion; I don't understand why it was downvoted when it didn't even needlessly snark at Joe Rogan like mine)

All protests ultimately end when the protesters allow themselves to be arrested or come to an agreement with the state or police for a way to protest over the long term that is present but less disruptive. Usually the process of protest involves some acceptance that the police are going to make your lives a little difficult; it's the nature of the beast.

But this is at a more significant scale, because each invididual protestor has a seriously outsize impact.

What happens to civil society if a bunch of truckers who believe a bunch of Qanon nonsense (and that is largely what is at work here -- not legitimate belief but conspiracy theories) can repeat this, over and over again, because of access to finance from outside (and even from abroad)?

I personally do not think that portable roadblocks on the basis of fringe belief funded by foreign state and non-state actors, going unchallenged, is something society should just do nothing about.

This isn't a one-off. Governments need to figure out how to allow this kind of protest for short periods but not tolerate for long periods, because road blockades have real consequences.

(As it goes, in the UK, it's the government that blocks roads with long tailbacks of lorries for purely partisan reasons)
That's a specific order, to a specifics individuals. Plus, this is a legal matter and can have a back-and-forth in court. The emergency act allows freezing assets of anyone without a judge having its say. The scale is not the same.

On Maui there is a site called the “7 Sacred Pools”.

There are 11 or 12. Nobody considers them sacred. A marketing company came up with it.
similar things can also be found in Taiwan's food delivery where IIRC there is a dark store who takes orders from 5 different "restaurants" (kinda like shell companies) on major platforms, like Uber Eats.
Perfect, thanks.

Any first game recommendations btw?
At this point, I’d presume it’s much cheaper to get an FPGA to emulate at the hardware level the chips than it is to order 10,000 new chips in an old fab from wherever.

"how could you?"
How could you not? It blew my mind how little push back there was against the use of this slur. Even more frustrating was that a lot of people using it were the people who claimed to be fighting against bigotry. Even if you didn't think it was racist or sexist, it was clearly something that would make anyone named Karen feel bad. It doesn't take extreme empathetic ability to understand that.
Ok I'll wait patiently here for your unbiased sources. GP asked for a rundown of the situation and I posted a Wikipedia article, I don't think that's unreasonable.
There have been leaks over the years.
The scanning files is one thing, but the lack of this bug being resolved in a matter of hours is the real problem. This should not be an ongoing issue days later.
This can break down with roommates/partners. You may be wanting to prepare a meal only to find out something you knew you had plenty of is suddenly wiped out. Having a quick delivery service may be a great alternative to someone who is pinched for time and would rather not order out something unhealthy.
I would prefer to see this kind of advancements in motorcycles, where adding batteries or hydrogen fuel cells are not only costly but also a huge weight burden.
I'm using 4.7" Samsung A3 (2017) and I was quite happy with it. But it's becoming outdated with no new alternatives, unfortunately.
I’ve had a similar experience - was out of something for Christmas dinner iirc, and five minutes later I had it after running over to the 24-hr gas station which has a surprisingly large convenience store.
The Advaita Vedanta school (non-dualism) is interesting too, IMO.
Hosting a web application if you aren't a professional, and want to save money.

Seeing as its my entire job, I have no problem getting all kinds of web applications setup and running on all kinds of platforms. But I was recently trying to help a friend with their web hosting. They were used to the old school style host where you just get a directory you can (S)FTP files into. All the systems administration is taken care of for you. You can setup some SQL databases via a Web UI if necessary. Something like mod_php is already going. It really holds your hand through dealing with other things like DNS.

Nowadays those old style kinds of hosts still exist, but there are less of them, and they mostly suck. They charge too much money and impose too many limitations. The problem is that all the amazing options we have today like cloud hosts (AWS, Azure), VPC (Linode, Digital Ocean), PaaS (Heroku), Saas(Wordpress.com, Shopfiy), and hosting your own servers all require more technical expertise and/or more money than that old school style of web host.

Impact of community masking on Covid-19
Within reason. I lived near a noisy neighbor (drug dealer/user etc). If you got work next day in a 9 to 5 job (like normal people) you don't want noisy drama at 3 AM.
I thought Google v. Oracle was about API structure, not imports. While I obviously don't think API structure should be copyrightable, we clearly can't extrapolate from that to a list of imports. The former is something chosen by an environment designer and needed for compatibility; the latter is just boilerplate every user of a given environment needs to write.

There is certainly creativity in API design, it's just that the right to interoperability and the utilitarian aspect should trump any copyright claim on the API itself. But there is no creativity in writing imports; you aren't making any material decisions, you're just doing something the compiler requires you to do.

Along the lines of 'downloading Linux distribution ISOs'.
Sure - there is definitely a real benefit for advanced users of the Linux kernel.

Epecially if your organization has someone on the Linux kernel security team, I guess.

The article actually said "concurrency." In the case of the article, it's being oversold because it's not that much better than the old one thread per request model. Cross-request interactions are rare, so you're more or less writing the same code, only with async, you have to be careful not to accidentally do something CPU-intensive for 50ms, and if your runtime supports multiple cores (so not Ruby or Python), you still have to be careful with race conditions and locks.

Writing parallel code that isn't clearly a divide and conquer variant is hard. Async doesn't help with that at all; it gives you more efficient context switches.

I personally find threaded code easier to reason about because there can be a context switch anywhere, so you always need to think about locks and coordination. With aysnc code, a block of code without locks and be correct...until you add an await in the middle, and this isn't always obvious.
I am trying to contact AT&T due to them thinking I haven't returned their hardware yet. Calling "customer support" results in about three minutes of being "on hold" followed by "leave a message." They call back hours and hours later and don't even leave a message. Virtual "chat" is just glorified drop-down list automation using "AI."

It's pathetic.
Making an impression on YouTube and other social media outlets.

As an example, back around Y2K there was a website called mp3 dot com. Pretty much every reasonably good musician who uploaded their music managed to get a really good following.

Nowadays if you want a following, your sound and video quality has to be flawless, and if you don't post a high volume of flawless media, you lose any audience you might have been lucky enough to attract.

There are just so many options that any given content producer is easily forgotten.
Oh, my bad, now that I think about it, all my Rust projects have -sys dependencies so I somehow assumed a cross toolchain is always required.

This is something we’ve been able to do with Rails or Django for nearly 2 decades now. I can do something similar with more interactivity with Phoenix LiveView and Postgres these days.
So they can spend a warping 770 Billion a year on defense. How do you even sell that with so many people struggling in the US?
Here’s a way that has worked for me.

You’re going to do things hundreds if not thousands of times each year at the job. Each time you do them again, it is a wonderful time to ask “Why?”. Why do we scrum like this? Why do we not make time to share domain expertise? Etc. After asking “why”, then ask yourself “how might I/we” with regards to a better path forward.

You’ll be able to see your own individual path of things you can change to make your life at work more enjoyable, but the most enjoyment I get is challenging the status quo especially if everyone else feels the same way and nobody largely knows why things are the way they are. Talking to people helps you realize that nothing is really set in stone and can bring more meaning into what you want to get out of the job.

Not even the weirdest story involving mystics in the last ten years.

A former South Korean president was impeached because of her unofficial but very close ties to a cult leader, going so far as to tell them classified information about North Korea. This leader was able to use their influence for extorting the country’s chaebol, the powerful conglomerates like Samsung. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_South_Korean_political_...
I'd imagine there was more investigation than that. As a gov employee she may be obligated to disclose some information that might otherwise be private. Working in a law enforcement agency while sponsoring activity labelled as criminal seems a conflict of interest that's likely against her terms of employment.
Development for the 13 mini will likely have started way before the 12 mini was launched and sales numbers where available. Besides that they will share a lot of components, which makes development cheaper.

Bad sales of a 12 mini will be more likely to affect whether a 14 or 15 mini will be released.
This is why it’s so important for the organization and C-level to be fully bought in to security. What I’ve seen work in the past is for the devs/PMs to own security for the products they develop, and own the liability for security vulnerabilities. In this model, the security team acts more like an internal consultant that accepts invitations to review products/services.
Yes, but the original reviews of the 12 Mini all proclaimed that it was too small to useful and had an atrocious battery life. That was during the first COVID lockdown period when people couldn’t got to the store to try things out themselves.

In reality the Mini is almost as large as the early iPhone XS (5.4 vs 5.8) and the battery life of the Mini is also better than the XS, but reviewers still exaggerated the difference and proclaimed that the Mini was unusable. The Mini name only helps emphasize this in the public mind.

I think by the time the iPhone 13 came out and people were able to try the phones in hand, they has already written the Mini off and saw it as this tiny thing with a terrible battery and decided to not consider it.
Has Google publicly explained why they previously flagged files that has just the number '1' in them for copyright infringement [1]? I know they certainly didn't apologize for doing this, but did they at least explain it? At least internally? Did other Googlers ever hear an explanation?

This complete lack of accountability, of acting with total impunity is what really rankles me about big tech.

Dealing with almost the same situation myself I switched from working in mobile to backend recently and having a hell of a hard time getting anyone to sit down with me (I have 8 years of experience).

Frankly it’s making me want to quit. I wonder how this company will succeed with this culture. (Already got an offer with 30% increase in base).
Anecdotal and personal observations:

Regular grocery stores have dedicated service entrances for deliveries. These dark grocery stores are often just using whatever repurposed single door retail space they could get, i.e places that were built for regular foot traffic retail.

Also the amount of ebikes and delivery scooters coming and going on the sidewalks in front of these places, as well as blocking them, has become something a nuisance for pedestrians.

While not necessarily "disruptive" but certainly somewhat dystopian feeling - these dark grocery stores just put up paper over the windows. Not transitionally but permanently. It's really not any kind of an improvement over the blight of an empty storefront.
I can't agree. The simplicity of the statment is key and understandable by all. I don't see how any reasonable person can say "it's okay for the top 10 richest people in the world own more wealth than 3.1 billion least wealthy humans". That is just ludicrous to me and shows the system is way out of balance. I'm no communist but holy shit.
