> Then again, where is this magical place where you're finding cheap quality cars.

These weren't quality cars; they were rust-buckets, I thought that was made clear. You have to compromise when you lack money, there's no free lunch here.

> I've only lived in expensive cities, so maybe I'm missing context

Poor people living in expensive places are self-inflicting suffering, and ironically for this discussion acquiring a dirt cheap car they can comfortably sleep in ASAP and escaping the expensive city is arguably the best way out.
Pfizer halts clinical trials in Russia but will continue to supply medicine
You're probably right. At the very least the market will always exist as some folks just refuse to get a bio implant.

Show HN: Scordle – a word search game written in React
It was not “just not included”, it was removed for everyone, no matter whether they wanted to use it or not. Maybe lizardmen from Mozilla are so detached they consider that all users just suck up and eat what's on the plate today, but some regular people use Yandex search because they have mail there, keep themselves logged in, have configured other services, need something for their work daily, yada yada. So they open the browser and see a tiny panel stating “FUCK YOU”. And it's not tech-savvy users (responding with “fuck you too” and fixing the problem) who get bitten and poached, it's the regular people.

There is a reason to think the actual goal of all that radio silence was preventing people from trivially switching to Yandex manually in advance of the change.
I always feel bad for the developers of the better GUI Linux tools. It's not fair for people to compare solid efforts to commercial software with solid funding and huge userbases for feedback. Some of them are their own worst enemy, but most really do seem to try.

No, [Ardour, LMMS, Darktable, ...] aren't going to do as replacements (for the nth time), but it's not at all their fault. I also don't fault them or Linux as a whole for the people who badger about it while ignoring the needs of the person they're pestering, but not everyone is able to make that distinction, and it comes to reflect poorly on the software.

As for ports of the stuff I do use, it seems the fault is in the lack of cohesion. It's not free to assign developers to port to even a reasonably narrow subset of toolkits and libraries to target the most users, and having a lawyer go over the licenses to see about packing it in costs money. And they're not likely to ever recover that cost in sales: the people who want it are already using the Windows or Mac version, and the people they might sell to are already productive and skilled with Linux options.
A lot of good (if long-awaited) changes in there, like smooth scrolling. Interesting to see how hard they're pushing the fact that they are the first browser to implement a bunch of features.
After combining that with your other post, perhaps the formula they are using is iCloud account on a 'difference' device where it calculates if the new device is 'better' than the old one, thus was a device upgrade and therefore you may want to try the arcade. Personally I don't care for the arcade, but it does seem to be some sort of one-off notification when something in your device/account mix changes.

Reminds me of the Office365 trial tile in Windows that doesn't actually do anything but when you open the start menu it is always there in accounts that are newly signed in to a computer. It's not really in the way, but it is always in your face until you remove it (but then it does stay away).
By the way, we're running a Kaggle birdsong species id competition right now, for anyone who would like to try their hand:

That being the case, one has to imagine that 30 seconds taken from the final hour of a four-hour podcast (or, potentially, anywhere in the middle) have the potential to be quite different in insight than 30 seconds take from the first hour.

The longest period we have seen a presidential candidate speak extemporaneously for is ~90 minutes (Biden town hall) which is an exceedingly rare occasion that came with pre-arranged questions and was mostly prepared talking points anyway.

One of the aims of a longform podcast would be to extend the interviewee out beyond their prepared talking points to see what happens.
Jitsi Meet doesn't connect to Teams meetings
It may have been a monitoring/smoke test type of thing, that performs some customer-like interaction with the deployed service, and makes sure the expected result comes out the other side, rather than a build-time test.
I'm sorry but comments that harken back to ye old Rome are infuriating and it leaves a sour taste in ones mouth. I know this war is bad, but man people need to just own up, otherwise none of us can more forward. Pax Americana is fine, but you don't get to kill people and then turn back and tell me to wave a flag because grand old Europe is having it's "freedom" threatened.
Maybe you have more experience with patients at this specific dose range than I do. I remain skeptical this could be double blind, but do have less certainty than I originally started with.
Wasn’t there such ambiguity once in Less with the calc function. When both Less and CSS supported their own version of calc() and Less would sometimes actually attempt to compute what was in the calc function instead of just leaving it for CSS to handle, and sometimes it wouldn’t.

Barring a complete shut-down of the Internet, simply making these applications cheap enough to operate would make them virtually impossible to control or stamp out.

They've been trying to shut down BitTorrent almost two decades, without much failures. They nailed the TPB guys to a cross, but that did all of nothing to actually shut bit-torrent itself down.
0.5mg/kg spread out over 40 minutes wouldn’t be as dramatic as you’re suggesting.

> 3. Within minutes it would become obvious to everyone in the room if the patient was injected with salt water or ketamine.

I think you’re mistaking IV infusion for injection. The dose is given slowly over 40 minutes, not as a rapid injection. The patient would barely have any of the drug in their system in the first few minutes. Given the short duration of action, it wouldn’t produce peak levels anywhere near what recreational users experience.
Certainly true. I was more making a bit of a joke about naming things though since that was kind of the OPs original point (which was subtle hinted via the twitter link).

Thanks for Dart, absolutely lovely language.
Enabling two-factor can help, but if you are the victim of a phishing attack as many are, one would expect one of the largest tech companies on the planet to have a plan for that.
Ah yeah, focusing on the right problems
I tried this in 2018, and had problems with notifications under iOS, and there wasn't support for syncing contacts and calendars. Also, Zoho its offering is pretty huge, so for example grokking the settings screens takes some effort. Perhaps someone can give a more recent update?
Apart from the time it would take, and the total carbon released during the building process, and the fact that it would still not get close to net zero?
In theory this shouldn't be a problem if you aren't using a known-trash IP and have SPF and DKIM set up, since the only thing the major inbox providers want is a way to verify and associate spam reputation with a domain instead of an IP. If this really hurts you can just set up Amazon SES use that via SMTP, you'll get 62k free emails a month (always free, not just first 12 months).

This even works if you want a mostly-free setup: you have MX forwarding via some provider (Cloudflare, your registrar, etc) going to a personal address, and SES operates as your outbound SPF that works with Outlook/Gmail in terms of allowing you to set your domain email(s) as aliases within their interface.
Should they have blocked Google and Bing after the invasion of Iraq?
Apple's SSL/TLS bug (22 Feb 2014)
The extreme seasonal summer/winter swings in light levels makes this undesirable, independent of the temperature.
Not a native English speaker, but I learnt that if and when have different meaning and also to translate them to different, non-interchangable words in my mother tongue. The Cambridge dictionary seems to support that view:

"We use if to introduce a possible or unreal situation or condition. We use when to refer to the time of a future situation or condition that we are certain of."[1]

Could you really replace the if as used in a programming language context with when?

To me, when doesn't make sense in that context at all, but again, English is not my first language.

Since that's "a donation with restrictions", you can probably set up a grant / anything with a contract instead. It may be onerous for an individual, but get enough people to be worth the effort and it should work fine.
These are truly fab little devices - i bought a couple for my kids to play simple (not too addictive) games and hopefully get them in to programming.

question is, how would one go about compiling Doom for the Picosystem? that would be so cool…
For instance, as a counter example, if you wired your brain up to a hard drive loaded with an immense amount of medical data that you'd be able to access at will for the rest of your life (instead of learning most of that rote knowledge through traditional sources) I wouldn't consider that cheating. Assuming you're still sufficiently good at critical thinking and problem solving then I wouldn't really have any objection to a doctor who keeps his knowledge of the krebs cycle on an instantly accessible external storage device.

Facebook vs. Apple: The ad tracking row heats up
We had a team of 3 or 4 developers in a small company with a few shrink-wrapped SW products. We took turns being on call for a week at a time. At first it was scary but I learned so much, talking directly to end users and discussing their issues definitely made me a better developer. At first we had a "tech support" engineer but it turned out that 90% of the calls had to be escalated anyway so we just switched to developers handling the calls.

At the next job I was also on call for systems we put on a manufacturing line. That was a lot more exciting and involved driving to the plant and try to get things going when production stops. Losing $10000 per hour when the line is stopped wakes you up real fast even if you just jumped out of bed 20 minutes ago.
It's a very Apples to Oranges comparison to be honest. Settings is an app that you don't really need to open that much to begin with, and the "ads" they show are more like promotions that you can use only once on your account. It's a bait for sure, but it's at least a bit beneficial to users if they are ever interested in trying that service.

Explorer is something Windows users interact with constantly, putting ads right next to the actual content view is SO different to ads in settings, at least to me.

As others have mentioned this isn't the only ad Apple has tinkered with recently, I don't think they should be off the hook by any means, I just think Microsoft have been way more dubious recently.
Do you even need the app? The web experience is just fine, and I suspect the "app" is just a web wrapper anyways.
I'm skeptical as well... someone saw SpongeBob driving test cheating episode [0] and decided to write an article.

Indeed. I can hardly blame any company for shutting down a free tier of service. I think many people would've been happy if Google Reader would've stuck around for a monthly fee.

Ah I knew that there would be an Arch user somewhere around here. Meanwhile I've used Ubuntu for over a decade with virtually zero issues and during that decade Arch users both newb and old have continued to declare there is only one true OS and that I'm doing it wrong while I tell them "I'm glad you enjoy your OS"
Try passthrough on Oculus Quest 2 to get an idea of how easy this is to solve. It just uses the motion sensor cameras and it's pixelated and black and white, but you get some overlays and you can get a very good idea of how quickly this will be solved in full 8k hidef with overlays that look like they belong.
I have moved on to developing Clojure and later Go. I still want to go back to .NET with C# once the opportunity is there.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of fun working with other languages and I have learned a great deal. If nothing else, then I feel these experiences made me a better C# developer. It's just that I feel underwhelmed by what the other languages have to offer.
Bing didn't exist in 2003 (launched in 2009), and I don't think that Firefox ("Firebird" at the time) had a search bar with search engines.
For people only using it as an email backend: there are plenty of cheap, privacy-respecting alternatives such as mailbox.org (the one I've used for 7-8 years now).
Bioengineering has also created many issues:

- Monoculture farming leading to large amounts of petroleum based fertilizer being needed to fertilize crops, killing soil microorganisms, speeding soil erosion, and algae blooms in waterways

- Loss of soil microorganism diversity has harmed fungal-plant symbiosis for nutrient exchange, leading to ~40% reduction in nutritional density of the produce we eat over our lifetimes. These vegetables don't taste as good, leading more humans to have poor diets high in processed food.

- Monoculture has led to worse pest infestations with more devastating results.

How is living carbon going to implement this plan in a way that creates a diverse ecosystem of trees (and symbiotic plants, fungi and bacteria) rather than a monoculture?

Are there seedlings all clones? How many genotypes will go into a single tree farm? (I predict cost of developing unique genotypes will lead to them only putting 1 or <10 distinct genotypes into their initial treefarms, so genetic diversity will be low)

How will the intended rot resistance effect fungal biodiversity in forests where these trees grow? Does it last 1 year, 10 years, or 100? How long will a forest of dry twigs be able to avoid a fire (and release all of its carbon regardless)?

Climate change appears to be the most urgent path to apocalypse, but its not the only path. If these trees end up in our national forests, outcompete the existing trees and kill off the soil biodiversity, then a pest kills off all of these inbred trees - we could end up worse off than we started.

There are absolutely failure modes to be concerned about, and their planned Jurassic Park style reproduction controls makes me worried there could be Jurassic Park style outcomes.
It's actually a byproduct of Russia's steel manufacturing process, so we are unlikely to see it available for export anytime soon.
>on linux you just need to be capable and willing to understand and read some documentation

If it were really as simple as reading the official documentation, then yeah, I'd concede this point. The reality is that finding the correct solution to a (non-corner case) problem is a spaghetti splat mess of links all over the internet with no guarantee that they are the answer you need.

I have been doing this stuff for more decades than many on this site have been alive so I am capable of dealing with some arcane shit. BUT I know all too well the value of time and Linux is still in the "hobbyist tweaker" category. I'll use it for some things, but I am looking for a Desktop OS that I can actually do work on, not kill time tweaking.
Interesting, I've had the opposite experience - an on-call rotation that's too wide makes it difficult to know how to respond effectively to an alert, since it's likely to involve a service that you may know nothing about.
It's kind of a common thing these days to pretend like anybody is smart enough to do anything.
Just like guns are secure, as it’s illegal to shoot someone.
Good point, I don't recall offhand the paper that was the mono-RT one.

At a minimum though 6D.ai and a few others had companies that were selling this as a service at least as far back as 2017.
I had a parked domain with a registrar and the registrar had grown increasingly expensive and behind the competition over the years. Eventually I decided to move my domain. After a five step process that initially blocked me and eventually required me to speak to an agent they provided me with the auth code to transfer my domain. The code provided was the login password for my account.
I don't mean we should build a parallel internet, I mean we should build enough redundancy into the Internet's public services that they become effectively impossible to exert control over.
It's definitely annoying indeed. I do wonder how this could be done better because after asking around for a bit there do seem to be a lot of people that aren't aware of any free trials yet are definitely interested in trying it out.
Apple Updates: macOS 12.3, XCode 13.3, tvOS 15.4, watchOS 8.5, iPadOS 15.4, more
One eye opening fact I learned when my family was dealing with a complex medical diagnosis was how specialists have seemingly the entire population of peers on speed dial. If you can help them connect dots to other specialists, they likely have the ability to get in touch with them in near real time. I mean, it may not be 100% reliable, but my new MO is to assume all physicians have a batphone, and to ask them to use it if they need additional opinions & insights.
OpenBSD with opensmtpd is the most sane approach to SMTP. You probably will need dovecot for IMAP which is not that easy to configure but default configuration mostly fine.

Pornhub recently purged all unverified content from the platform whereas in other platforms you can still make account and upload whatever you want. Maybe it's because of that.
Rote isn't a huge part in the school I'm a part of.

We deliberately have some, though. There's some stuff that's just helpful to memorize to be able to do more active work and understanding with (multiplication tables, basic chemical formulas, sets of trig identities). There's also some stuff inserted (poem memorization, latin & greek roots for one grade, all 50 states for another, etc) just to strengthen the skill of learning by rote for when it's useful later.
AFAIK it was a random windows dev that said that, not some official company communication/promise.
It takes some getting used to. There are some rough edges, mainly with the UI and figuring out where things are hidden behind deep menus. Calendar sharing is not as straightforward. Otherwise it's been a good experience so far. I have 8 custom domains for about 8 users. Transition was easy too, you can do it from within zoho for the most part. The only thing that takes a bit of time is domain propagation.
OP has a fair assessment. It's an unfair defense. Whenever I've relied on Google, I eventually got !@#$%.

I've never had that problem with Amazon. Microsoft also doesn't do it much these days. This is really specific to Google (and Oracle; but Oracle !@#$% in the wallet, but at least realizes driving customers out-of-business is bad for business).

Not all GCP customers will be !@#$% here, but many will. People who rely on Google inevitably regret it at some point.
Your points are valid, but are not relevant.

> Unfortunately copy and paste doesn't work well on Firefox on Linux

Code editing in the browser has plenty of valid criticisms, but that criticism is as pointless as saying it won’t work in Lynx. Use any one of the many many browsers that do support copy and paste.

You aren’t comparing like-for-like in terms of functionality. You might as well say just use a <textarea> tag which clocks in at 0.02kB.

From the article: Modularity, bundling, and footprint: “CodeMirror is built with modern technologies. You can even use ES6 modules to import it with no bundler involved. Lazy-loading features is a breeze; dynamic ES6 imports are all you need. The project is very modular and has a very slim core.”.

CodeMirror is relatively light, compared against Monaco: “Monaco is huge. monaco-editor and related libraries contributed a whopping 51.17 MB to our bundle size (5.01 MB when parsed + gzipped)”, in Monaco “lazy-loading features are not possible as far as I'm aware”.
The hidden cost of me keep using google is that all my mail is stored who knows where, can be take away at anytime, is read by who knows what and pricing may change at anytime as it has with this "will always be free" version...
Mine just updated overnight without asking, after I rejected the update as much as i could. I was perplexed, wondering if the upgrade is being forced in more lenient countries.
Olo can help restaurants get themselves on Google Food Ordering, and help them create their own online ordering systems, so you can get ahead of the hijackers.
Isn’t it a __lot__ more powerful than a 286? 32 bit dual core at 133 MHz - roughly a Pentium say?

Plus some of the early 8 bit machines drove a display with minimal extra hardware - eg the ZX80 / ZX81 although it was very very slow as a result!
Yeah, this is a pain and I hope there will be some good news soon. My family runs on this - the only advantage over free Gmail is that we can use our own domain name, and we're going to suddenly have to pay $42 per month (okay, $36 if I trim one of the accounts I hardly use). We've got loads of Photos, movie purchases etc which I don't want to lose, plus all the kids Android phones, 2 x Home, 2 x Chromecast.

Friends who use regular Gmail accounts get to use things like Family Link etc for parental approval/monitoring as well... which I'm still not going to be able to use.

Come on Google, please come up with a family service which allows you to use your own domain name. Pretty please! I'd still pay a few $ per month for it, especially if it's good on parental controls and monitoring.
Looks like a much better response to white walls/texture less surfaces.
> if it is new enough you get the same offer

Still only once per account though. If you have a family setup it's actually only once per family even, I'd imagine it reverts back to once per account if you leave the family.

So basically, if you don't like seeing it, activate it and then immediately cancel it, and it should never come back.
