In Portugal they do stop. That's the only place on earth I've witnessed it.

It's... huh... surprisingly weird to, for example, stop on the sidewalk waiting for someone to then notice all the cars stopping for no apparent reason and then only noticing you're in front of a pedestrian crossing. Oops.

They sometimes even go as far as to brake so hard when seeing a pedestrian that they cause an accident. I witnessed that one at least twice! Once three cars smashed into each other...
Or they slowly drifted towards anti-EU sentiment due to the EU.
I don’t know about movies, but a few years back, it seemed widely accepted that we were in a golden era of television. During the penultimate season of Game of Thrones maybe.
When I'm behind the wheel I hate cyclists. Not all of them, just the part that behaves like they take part in some Olympics challenge. The same is when I ride a bike. I still hate them, because they are a threat. I am afraid to share road with such people. They do not slow down, they squeeze in where there's not enough room. I'm stressed when riding a bike that I get into awful accident. And I'm stressed when riding my car that I will get someone into hospital and I will have to take responsibility of someone dumbness
> a perfectly good bike lane

Let's see it. Street View link, please?

You'd be amazed how inconvenient or dangerous many "perfectly good bike lanes" turn out to be.
No, that's the point
I agree with you statement. But I do have a - genuine, absolutely not sarcastic - question. As products and services were not meant for the purposes you mentioned, how was money made? Did everything have a price upfront and was nothing ‘free’?
Have a look at Traefik, Envoy, or Istio proxy. Load balancing, TLS termination, authorization and authentication would be most common use cases.
I feel stupid. Now it should be fixed, for real.

Thank you!
To be fair when it comes to France, any job being in high demand generally wouldn't apply there. That country is the capital of unemployment from my experience, and I don't see it getting any better.

But yes, lacking a degree is a big part of your problem. Fortunately, it's purely specific to France and you'll get better luck elsewhere in Europe. In my case I made my escape into the UK back when it was still possible.
While not an essay, I'd throw Seneca's "On the Shortness of Life" into the mix. It's short and very eloquently raises ideas about what to prioritize in life.
I think modifying some fingerprintable apis to give faked/altered results could be enough, given the global fingerprint is a product of all partial fingerprints. Some extensions already implement that, eg. https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/
Pretty sure it's just the red light jumpers.

Stick a QR code on the front of the bikes, and put some AI cameras at every traffic light.

Problem, solved.
I'm not sure I buy that; the Drastic UI is a bit odd on Android as it uses its own game-style renderer for UI rather than Android UI. But I frequently find apps that give you an actual warning when launching that the app is out of date (in terms of target platform and API level) and you should contact the developer to see if there's an update; and often the permissions API used pops up the "old style" permissions UI where you have to accept all, rather than granular permissions. Those apps haven't been taken down, to my knowledge, and I still come across apps that do this as recently as last week. Drastic doesn't have such a warning, and it uses the modern granular permissions API.
Iodide was THE notebook format. I was very sad to hear the project was abandoned. :/
Granule filling machine here is designed for large production demand.
Do you think that the current trend to make things look ‘pretty’ has its causes in the fact that a certain product must appeal to a larger audience?
But how can it perform cross domain tracking? The main site can only share with "Tags" the user information from the main site.
Nope. The end-game is adding the data collection into the backend frameworks so the user does not have to execute javascript at all.

But this is pretty close to it. I hope Google and anybody collaborating with them get severely punished.
Yeah, they released countless of rebrands and versions and what not.

The equivalent on desktop would be Browsh (e.g. with terminal + Mosh), but it runs Firefox under the hood. Opera Mini is just akin to a remote browser with the result being send to the client (as a compressed picture like in RDP/VNC, or a proprietary markup language like OBML).
> even most ardent EU supporters would admit that the institution was terribly dysfunctional

That's a mischaracterization. "Most" would have accepted that there was (and is) room for improvement, but "terribly disfunctional" is an extreme term. The view that the whole institution had to be reinvented has always been a very English idea, based on the fact that some key policies (like agricultural support) benefited other countries over Britain. Most of the continent, much more pragmatically, always understood that the EU is fundamentally a set of compromises that will continue to expand. As such, it can look confusing from a distance, but once you unpack it, the compromises actually make sense (or are the only possible way towards cooperation among such different peoples). Britain benefited hugely from infrastructure support programs, for example.

The EU has always been kept together more by the sheer will of European middle-classes at large, than by this or that particular set of rules. National governments are in a constant state of tension with something that they see as a new competitor for the absolute power they enjoyed for centuries. This will likely continue to be the case for a very long time.
yes, these are all fraught. Any X-to-Y format exchange is a brew/apt miracle in my experience. It's not necessarily important for a LaTeX document to be render-able in all media, but the maths disciplines, for example, should be asking themselves how they want to be able to search for things including formula, algorithms etc, and finding ways to guarantee that a maxima of media support search/find/read operations on their articles. It's not just about how easy is it to input? but it's very similar to "how easy is it to get back out?" it has been a bit of a mismatch in maths re formulae expressions, and how those are represented visually vs. textually.
The congestion on the Regent's Canal towpath is just a demonstration of the fact that London needs more safe, protected bike tracks.

People don't ride the towpath because they like looking at ducks, they ride it because they're not going to get left-hooked by a tipper truck.
even if someone did it this way (as a switch in DDG for example), there is no way of guaranteeing that the ebsite didn't implement some JS between the time it got indexed and your visit

honestly, just disabling JS is the only bulletproof way of making sure you don't run any JS
Brain is a fake news machine because of Source Monitoring Errors
TLDR
I'm fine without JavaScript? I've the impression that JavaScript is worse than ever assumed during early 2000s. I don't criticize the language it is the actual usage scenario which was bad for people and got even worse. Web 3.0 should be server side again with interactive code at all in browser. No interpreter on your computer should ever execute foreign code.
These laws do not ban businesses, they ban business practices. And consumers often win. E.g. laws to ban the business practice of just dumping toxic waste into rivers because it's cheaper were hugely successful - at least in places were they were enforced. On the other hand, there is a danger of regulatory capture, which has to be considered as well...

The GDPR does not ban Google, and it does not ban analytics. But, according to recent court rulings, it bans the business practice of Google Analytics to collect and transfer data to the US - which isn't considered to be a place with "adequate" privacy laws - and other places without prior user consent. Google could potentially come up with ways to make a Google Analytics that does abide by the law, but so far they choose not to. Maybe the changes that would be required would cut severely into revenues, or even make (free) GA cost-prohibitive, but this is in line with environmental protections killing off certain products/businesses that got too expensive when they had to dispose of their toxic waste properly and in a way that doesn't poison people and the environment.
I don't know - with some edge detection I think you could distinguish between the faces of each die, and some heuristics would probably get you the upwards-facing one. Another thing that may be useful is that in each image the only face that is fully visible for all dice is the upward one (who knows if that is just for this example though).
Yes, hence the issue with photographs of events of our children.

I'm not convinced yet it is a net positive. For sure it increased senseless bureaucracy by a huge margin (not just the clicks on web sites, it creates more work in other places, too).

The real players collect just as much data as before, but private people can't do most basic things anymore.
> if you're using VPN traffic but most people "around" you aren't, you're a suspicious node

Yes, working from home is very suspicious. :P

(That said, the VPN companies that work in the B2C segment for those who can't set up their own VPN server is small and they're all well-known to the government.)
And as another user said in this thread that there are even extensions which can break captchas. Very questionable then what captchas are even doing on web.
>If I stick with Google/iPhone, I just log into my account on the latest and greatest device, and voilà, all my stuff populates on the screen. Apps, conversations, albums, playlists, etc.

I digress, but I wish it would work like that on Android. Its backup and restore is a hot mess, i.e. text messages or launcher settings/icon layout/links saved as launcher icons are not backed up at all.
In post-Communist countries you have social services, healthcare, and infrastructure at the level worse than in US. You're alone with your cash and every doctor, agent, and clerk looks to screw you over. It's attractive only for natives with family locally, or maybe for someone who is fluent in the native language. No salary would convince me to relocate alone to Romania.
The biggest misunderstandings about LaTeX stems from comparing it with Microsoft Word or to any other word processor. LaTeX is a typesetter. You give the text, the template and the page size and it typesets it all. You nudge it with hints, and that's all. So, LaTeX is content first and layout second in a sense.

On the other hand, word processors work at absolute terms, layout first. Looking to LaTeX from this perspective distorts the vision a lot, and people get confused.

When one understands the idea of "LaTeX gets the content and fits to the constraints at hand", the rest is liberating.

I'm not saying that parents don't matter, just that teachers _do_ matter. Both play an important role in setting expectations. Someone with bad parents and bad teachers is likely to have a rough start in life. Having good teachers can give children with bad parents a fighting chance.

Of course, in the US many people strongly in parental control, to the point that you need permission slips to discuss simple facts about the human body or climate change. Sometimes these cultural challenges make it difficult to be a good teacher.
In my opinion there is a huge market for teaching programming literacy. Learning to code as a means to an end that isn’t programming itself. Plenty of smart people who benefit from grounded computational thinking and communication that don’t necessarily need the nitty gritty detailed skills. Think designers, managers, sales etc.
Given that the year is 2022 and even Michael Jackson is known worldwide, I’m pretty sure humans now recognize western music concepts.
I believe Binance has the same thing. This to measure my human imperfect way of sliding the puzzle piece, I suppose.
What is their means to correlate users between sites, though? On IPv6, the IP itself is often enough (or IP+Browser/OS version).

Currently, at home, I’m behind a CG/NAT (and with a somewhat fingerprint resistant setup - rotating user agent, blocked canvas, a few other things). What would they use to correlate my identity across sites, when there’s no common “google.com” cookie to anchor against?
wow. insane.
It's not too uncommon for Japanese websites to use CAPTCHAs in hiragana, so you have to be able to type in はしらす or whatever
Not really surprising when we have Clarkson leading the hate brigade.
I think it depends of how many people routinely use a bicycle or have used one. Once you're a cyclist you don't bitch too much at other cyclists when you're driving a car. I do about 15-20k km driving a car per year and 6-7k on a bicycle. I tend to know what to do not to piss off cyclists or car drivers.
so make your primary job programmer, but maybe develop fallbacks in carpentry and subsistence farming.
Ha, youngsters.

We listened to the radio with the tape paused to record computer programs!
The sheer insanity that are shell scripts is something I don't see talked about often enough.

Bash is absolutely wonderful as CLI driver. It's truly an awful scripting language).

And yet, I see many, many projects with huge, enormous shell scripts. It beggars belief.
> This isn't the end-game: I fully expect that IP address blocklists would crop up in no time, and will be painfully maintained by folks pouring their life in to it.

Proxy can be hosted on the same server as the site itself. In that case this simply becomes a blocklist of naughty websites. Someone still needs to do the hard work of figuring out which sites are naughty.
Airbnb has been very human hostile since the beginning.

The first time I had to create an account, they required that I connect with a google account with access to all my contacts. Then ask me to make a video of myself.

I didn't create the account and booked an hotel.

Now they are less aggressive with their new procedures, but still, you can see that the people behind it see technical solutions way before they perceive the human impact.

My grand-father was like that. A brilliant engineer from the most elite school of his generation in France. He once told me very seriously a solution for making more accommodations for the poorest people would be to remove individual bathrooms, and create common ones for the whole building instead.

Airbnb tech teams remind me of him.
Surely a Dyson sphere would not emit what we naively expect. Look at us, we can speculate about these and even try to spot them but are millennia away from building one.

What if the external shield of the sphere would be artificially heated to 4000K or higher ? Completely invisible.
Standups with the entire team of say 5 or more people are usually a waste of time for most of the attendees. Most attendees are simply listening to updates and questions between the lead and the other team members. Sure, sometimes an unrelated developer might have insight but it is rare and can cause rabbit hole conversations that waste other team member’s time.

Would prefer a structure where an experienced developer (preferably in area of work) meets one on one for 10-15 mins max with each team member, provides advice or refers the team member to resources to aid if needed.
How do you figure that tech will mean very little?

What cannot continue is economic growth, for the simple reasons that the planets (and its biospheres) resources are finite.

What will continue however, is technological growth, as in technology will grow ever more complex, and solve more difficult tasks. Techn development is not inherently tied to economic growth.
The flip-side is that producing that manual was the work of 10 people.

Writing those things must have been an enormous endeavor.

Your coworkers were too stupid to realize that everyone on a bike or on the bus is one less ass'ole in car between them and where they want to go.
I will give it another shot.
Unfortunately though, this does not solve the server-side GTM issue, right ?

If the 3-5% of the website you use will start tracking via server-side GTM with the site's domain, you will not be able to simply use noscript to disable tracking ?
You're comparing solving a typically simple puzzle with breaking and entering.

> and clunky in-circuit-emulators…

I wrote software for in-circuit emulators from Applied Microsystems back in the late 80s and early 90s. I was fortunate to be able to work with some really talented people.

Our high-end ICEs were expensive, maybe $40K at the time. I can think of at least one company that bought 120 of them from us, although most of our customers only bought a few.

A lot of NRE went into building such systems. And yes, I think they probably were clunky yet capable of some amazing things when it came to debugging embedded systems.
This doesn't sound like a correct stand-up to me.

My understanding and how we are actually doing it: You say what you did and plan on doing, no comment are made, it's just an FYI for everyone else. And/Or you have the chance to present a problem you are having and you arrange a "let's talk later" with someone who can help you.

What you are describing sounds like a daily mini breakdown / refinement.
Low-Code tools like Retool allow you to do this. They have the same limitations though (like inflexible layouts that don't adapt to different screen sizes), which hurts especially on mobile.
That's not true for lawyers as far as I know (at least in the UK, I suspect the same applies elsewhere). There's an oversupply of law graduates, getting a pupillage/training contract is very competitive and fees are being cut.
Oh, that's pretty awesome!

Oooooh, I wonder what happens if I signed up for a service and then requested "all current and future data on, about and related to me"... that would mean it couldn't be deleted until I'd been sent a copy.

I use airbnb and booking.com specifically for searching cheaper alternatives to hotels. If their value for money proposition wasn't better than a hotel I doubt they would even exist at all.
There is nothing new about this at all. Websites can collect data and forward it on the backend since the dawn of the internet. Google Analytics has an HTTP API [1] for sending events that's used by plenty of large sites. Consolidating event collection and forwarding to various sources is a large SaaS category with several billion-dollar companies, and one of the biggest success stories is Segment from YC [2].

In past adblocking discussions, many users mentioned that they were fine with ads if they were served by the 1st party without data leakage, but the entire issue is that 1st-party on a technical basis has no bearing on the custody and access of the data itself. The only serious way to protect privacy is through legal doctrine that regulates collection and sharing. Browser-based adblockers were always a short-term technical bandaid to a much broader surveillance problem, but the real solutions take much more work.

I have a unique perspective here, having lived in both Australia and a modern European country with AMAZING cycling infrastructure. Bikes should not share the same spaces as pedestrians OR cars. Period. If they must share, bikes are much closer to pedestrians than cars, yet we ask them to share the road with cars. These modes of transport are VASTLY different, and of course lead to all kinds of animosity between these groups. Australia is notorious for underfunding and ignoring anything resembling cycling infrastructure. Cyclists believe they're "motor vehicles," and indeed, under many statues, they are legally classed as such. The problem is, when there is a 20 car queue stuck behind two cyclists riding next to each other, cruising along at 30kph in a 100kph zone (yes, this actually happens, often), this just not efficient use of the road.

The answer is not "teach drivers to be okay with driving at 30kph everywhere." That's silly and I'm tired of this canard. The answer is of course better infrastructure. Hard barriers between cyclists and motorists, and preferably pedestrians too. The only reason this problem exists is apathy and greed. It's often the motorists most impacted by slow and dangerous cyclists who are least willing to increase their taxes to solve this problem.
If you work in a particularly hot climate maybe sleeping during the day and working at evening, night would not be that bad.
In my experience it can have a broad spectrum of meaning, the most extreme of which is definitely close to fuck you. "Sorry" said to someone intentionally blocking the path is not an apology, it's a "what the hell are you doing blocking the path, don't you know I'm walking here".
Hi, I've been so looking forward to sharing my technique for smoothing out breakpoint layout jumps! It started as a single 70-line HTML file and I'm so happy that it's graduated into its own domain :)

I'd love to hear any and all feedback but especially pertaining to the explanation, e.g. is it clear what it does, how it works, etc. Happy Monday!
>That’s almost 20 years ago — yikes! What started as a more writer- and reader-friendly syntax for HTML

The author appears to have some recency bias that misses the point of Markdown. It didn't start when it was named and mapped to HTML. It was in use on usenet and in emails before HTML even existed. And most of its conventions came from typewriters before that.

You could print out a Markdown document today and jump in a time machine to 1970 and hand it to someone and they'd understand it. Chances are they still will in 2070.

In the meantime we've had countless proprietary binary word processor formats that couldn't be read before their program was released and most of which can't be read today. We've had bad attempts to replicate print publishing designs and unusable Flash websites. We've had a variety of markup formats including HTML, XML, etc. which are relatively a pain to read or write. We've had lousy WYSIWYG editors that never work correctly. And we've stored the documents split into chunks in databases. And now the suggestion is to write text as JSON data structures?

All that stuff has its place, but none of it has the timelessness and clarity of plain text and markdown when it comes to documents.

It's not particularly good for structured data. Nor multimedia (though you can reference it with links). But it's still quite good at what it is good at. Has been since before HTML and will be long into the future.
Short-wheelbase recumbents and tadpole trikes, with cranks out in front, present their own issues with animals. Horses in particular are very likely to spook when they see an oncoming recumbent.

Combine fast movement with a pair of legs flailing in front and Mister Ed is going to think "wolf" or "mountain lion" instead of "goofy human on wheels."
It takes a long time to build the right infrastructure, the Dutch have been doing it for forty years and they aren't finished yet.
Well, if you go back to the meaning of the word, "vintage" is just the year when a wine was produced, so anything is "vintage" as long as the year it was produced is known. For example, the monitor standing before me right now is 2016 vintage (yeah, I know, pretty old already)...
