Strava isn't cut off from Apple. Instead, Garmin/Fitbit etc. would send their data to Strava, which then would forward it to Apple for them. The part where Strava takes the data from non-Strava apps is the one that got disabled (presumably by strava and not by garmin, but either could have).
There are no soils to speak of. That will be difficult.
From https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/148494/anticipating...

> In its 2019 report, the IPCC projected (chart above) 0.6 to 1.1 meters (1 to 3 feet) of global sea level rise by 2100 (or about 15 millimeters per year) if greenhouse gas emissions remain at high rates (RCP8.5). By 2300, seas could stand as much as 5 meters higher under the worst-case scenario.

I guess thy will migrate the datacenters before 2300.
Might as well use elinks honestly. I can't remember the last site I went to that really needed a modern browser and wasn't just a replacement for an "app." Firefox is there for my bank account, my brokerage, and Discord. Everything else is either handled by open source tools or elinks.
That would annoy me, too. Maybe they could have it only work for when you Add to Homescreen as a progressive web app, then it would be more opt-in.
MS: *changes the user's search engine*

IMHO: messing with the user's settings (especially without a proper warning and a cause) should not be condoned.
> So as you can see I have studied almost the core of a CS degree.

Just not crammed for the long exams, or pulled all nighters to get assignments handed in on time and such.

SICP covers a few topics from computer science, just not items in a CS curriculum like, oh, operating systems, networking and distributed systems, databases, computer graphics, software engineering, computer architectures, machine learning. Plus CS degrees require non-CS courses, such as math: advanced calculus, linear algebra, statistics. Electives in the humanities can be no picnic. Philosophy, yikes.
So an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician move in to a new place together.

Their first night, a fire starts in the house. The engineer wakes up, sees it, douses it in buckets of water, puts it out, and goes to sleep.

The second night, another fire starts. This time, the physicist wakes up, sees it, calculates exactly how much water to use to put out the fire, pours exactly that much water on the fire (plus or minus experimental margin of error), puts it out, and goes to sleep.

The third night they decide to search for fires before bed.

The engineer does a quick sweep of the house, convinces themself there are no fires, and goes to sleep.

The physicist searches a while longer, convinces themself there are no fires, goes to sleep.

The mathematician searches and searches, but can't prove there are no fires, and so can't go to sleep. After some thought, they set their own fire and go to sleep, thus reducing it to an already solved problem!
Not to mention 500 meters will likely take a thousand years or more. Where will society be a thousand years from now? Changing the climate might be as easy as using the terrain editor in Sim City.

Not at all. Those living along the shore have flood insurance which will continue to pay for restoration of the coastline.
This just happened. (In Canada, not the US, but similar countries.)

Here is a story about police rounding up protestors and sending them to jail.

https://news.yahoo.com/police-arrest-dozens-blockading-canad...

> Police chief: “Last night we began to take additional actions towards implementing our operation. We moved officers and equipment into key positions throughout the city and took up 100 checkpoints around the downtown core. We began making arrests of key individuals who were responsible for organizing these unlawful activities. (flash) As of 3pm today we’ve arrested 70 people. They’ve been charged with multiple various offenses including mischief.”

Here is a story about accounts of protestors being frozen, preventing them from paying bail to get out of jail.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/22/world/americas/canada-pro...

> But for one protest organizer who was arrested last week, the effect was more immediate. The organizer, Tamara Lich, said she had been frozen out of all of her accounts and could come up with only 5,000 Canadian dollars for bail.
A lot of people live there; quite a few of the buildings are condos and apartments.
SimpleDB is; maybe they confused them.
This is why I only use Enterprise LTSC versions of Windows.
This is less about the Navy, and much more about Information Operations.
IMHO it is actually a good thing.

It promotes looking up what an opcode does, rather than assuming what it does from its name.

What an opcode precisely does is actually critical, in assembly.

Once the engineer has done so and is intimately familiar with the opcode, the short mnemonic is a non-issue.
I agree that Reddit's deteriorating quality equates it more to empty dopamine.

High quality content and discussion that expands one's knowledge however is certainly not empty. Reddit has unfortunately failed in that regards, and seems to have no interest in fixing it.

The same line of reasoning concludes that McDonalds is better than home cooking.

If someone’s caught cheating in an exam, I’d say the burden of proof is on them not me. Especially if they’re intending to affect my health.
Looking for remote: what's the best way into coding?
I have been programming since I was a small kid (started on a Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer). I later became an Electrical Engineer, but for a big company, which many will tell you isn't like being a professional engineer, or working at a small firm. I've only programmed professionally a few times, many times as part of a job, but not as my main job.

As COVID seems to be wrapping up and people are going back to the office, it appears that many companies are reneging on their original stance of keeping people remote.

I have a good job that I've been at for 15 years, and am doing great there, but am really dismayed at coming back to the office. Working from home has become a lifestyle for me, and it really gets me that executives, who enjoy mostly total autonomy in the execution of their duties, are mandating that the rest of us be tethered to the office again. It seems many didn't learn anything from COVID (or didn't care) about people's desire to work away from an office, or about the sense of lack of trust it creates to put them in the office unnecessarily. If I want to "collaborate", I won't hesitate to call someone. I don't need to sit at a desk without walls under bright lights so I might feel like being talkative with a coworker one day.

I'm making the assumption that there are coding jobs that I can get 100% virtual work in - is that still a valid assumption? What's the best way for me to get ready for those jobs? Am I being crazy trying to do this at 45? I have kids and a house and a decent salary, although I just heard yet another story from a coworker about how their nephew got hired at Google for $300K. Is that even close to possible? If so, I'm in the wrong business. How many people who go to coding camps succeed in job placement? Just looking for any helpful answers on charting a new course.

Thanks
I suspect impending name change due to trademark conflict.
Ashlar-Vellum has a product called Graphite that is 2d/3d CAD.

I don't like it when there are similarly named products in the same product category.
The rise in sea level is something of a misnomer, because the real damage comes in storm surges. Even a 1cm rise increases the amount of water that can pushed inland by *checks notes* a whole helluva lot. So while manhattan isn't going to be put underwater even after a whole foot of sea level rise (predicted by 2100), the storms it has to survive will be much worse.

People won't move just from a little water in the roads (just look at Miami), I think even in the year 2099 you'll have a hard time getting new yorkers to move to ohio, but once a storm comes through and destroys their housing they will have to find somewhere else to live.
Very long article. Some key figures below:

> At Lowell, the first round of grades had been filed for the freshmen, and teachers saw a big change from previous years.

> “I have three times as many students as usual failing—instead of one or two, I have three to six,” Wenning, the biology teacher, told me. “I have some students who have done no work the whole first grading period.”

> About ten per cent had a D or lower in at least one subject; the average freshman G.P.A.s that autumn fell ten per cent from what they had been before the pandemic.

> Between system-wide cuts and the forfeited A.P. funds, he told me, Lowell would lose $3.6 million, dropping its per-pupil funding to the bottom of the district. It would lose between twenty-one and twenty-eight educators, about twenty per cent of its faculty;

Words can't express the visceral anger this level of obnoxious, user-hostile behavior provokes.
Still that can be vulnerable. If you really wanted to give up privacy, it could work like bank accounts work where a human banker actually knows you. But this would cost.
Speed of change matters. Walking downstairs is not the same as falling thru a window. You can't adapt to very fast change.

Hey, that's interesting. Thanks for looking into it!
Interestingly, I believe that unused DIMM modules could be powered down if the hardware bothered to support that. Linux has to support memory hotplug anyway because it's long been in use on mainframe platforms, so the basic OS-level support is there already. Since it's not being addressed in any way by hardware makers, my guess is that RAM power use in idle states is low enough that it basically doesn't matter.
Medical licensing exams in the US are randomized within the same sitting, even having two examiners in the same room receiving entirely different questions (not just random question ordering).
> Most of the design patterns exist because of limitations in programming languages, especially java/c++/c#.

No. The implementation of some DPs is trivial in some languages, but the DPs don't disappear. The idea of DPs primarily as boilerplate implementation recipes rather than solution concepts with rationales comes from the limitations of Java, etc.,. not the DPs themselves.
The caveat here is that the binaries aren't "shipped" with node.

`corepack enable` adds shim scripts to node's $PATH to intercept calls to `npm` `yarn` or `pnpm` and downloads the binaries from a URL without much checking along the way. This functionality has had some vocal opposition.
Sad to see this happen to Apple, a strong crusader for open standards across competing systems.
Multiple holidays ruined by being on-call (New Years' Eve more than once due to year-end bugs, sitting in another room on a laptop and phone while everyone has Thanksgiving), countless weekends, disturbed sleep patterns. "Daring" to try to enjoy your weekend like this person said. I for one am tired of it.
The main problem is that if the company's model is "growth and engagement", the objective of the company is for you to "engage" with them (and look at the ads or whatever dark pattern they're pushing). It is not to help you accomplish whatever task you were trying to do with their product. The "product", if it's there, is merely a necessary evil to convince the users to "engage" with it.

The PM couldn't care less about whether it interrupts your flow - he just knows that interrupting the flow of millions of people will net them that next promotion and a nice "increased engagement by double-digit percentages" bullet point on the resume. The company executives don't care either, because they know that boasting about the increased engagement figures will make their stock price go up.

By the time the degraded experience causes actual repercussions for the company (if it ever does - it won't if they've got a monopoly), both the aforementioned PM and executives will be long gone and will already have cashed out.
Good luck to you. It helped me a lot. I refresh it every three to four month with a single session and a 2 day of vacation away from everything in another town.
And as Lex Luthor pointed out in Superman1, there may be profit to be had. So honestly, two sides to that coin, amirite?
I'm still shocked and amazed that anyone would willingly share their health data with corporations. Why? What could go right? I say that acknowledging your point that this is possibly one of the better corporations out there.

> Garmin is the only one I actually trust currently, as they've shown 0 willingness to monetize your health information.

What about the concern that the company is bought out in the future? Or that it may be sharing data already, with government agencies, etc? Or companies that it works with?

I honestly can't even imagine the criteria whereby a corporation could be 'trusted' with personal information!

It boggles my mind, that people think about this - and plainly you do - but come to the judgement that its ok for corporations to have this personal data!
Do you not keep up to date? I live in New Zealand, a western democratic country and if I possess or share "objectionable material" of a political nature, I could land in jail for up to 14 years.

And usually has a pretty light touch on this kind of stuff compared to Australia, Canada or the UK.

So no, that in itself is not enough to prove to me that Russia is an autocratic dictatorship, when parliamentary democracies all over the world have similar laws - they reserve the right to throw you in jail for content that expresses threats against the regime.
Ask HN: How to build something like Repl.it?
I want to build something like repl.it but I don't know what I need to know. How do I go about learning how to build something like repl.it where I could create server instances for every user and allow them to code on the browser?
They could just verify he knows the old password and controls the old phone number, and probably also has devices logged into or connected to the account.
I skimmed the announcement, couldn't immediately understand what is changing, and concluded from that that it's a price increase.

Judging by the comments here, I was right.
I've had requests like this from family members supposedly "stuck overseas" etc. These types of requests are often scams.

My boss recently emailed me (from a weird email) saying the landlords payment hadn't gone through and we needed to wire them the money pronto and they were stuck traveling and couldn't do it. This was a scam.

In my neighborhood folks rent out houses for great deals, the landlord is temporarily traveling and can't meet. A fair number of these turn out to be scams.

I just mention this because if some low level support agent providing support to FREE accounts was able to reset an account based on this narrative - and no phone access - that would be HUGE security HOLE.

If google starts allowing recovery of passwords by folks overseas who are "stuck overseas" with no documents - game over. We are focusing on the folks getting locked out, but google is doing a fair bit to keep folks from getting taken over.

I have a 2FA key (hardware) they ask me for once a month. I'm not sure how someone takes over my account unless they get access to my computer with remote access and then maybe re-uses a session somehow? Even then I have to re-auth when doing security steps... so it's a bit weird to have an account takeover like this.

My request. For a fee of $1,000, an in person visit, fingerprints, and research effort, communication with existing account holder for any disputes (ie, someone sold them the account) google would allow for an account recovery. This last step is what is missing. Charge $2,500 even. In some cases that would be worth it and allow them to make a pretty good job on recovery. Even wipe the account / lock all old messages so they are unreadable on recovery.
Also a native english speaker.

I was about to disagree with you, that we use "when" when several things might be true, but then I realised that in those cases each of the possibilities will happen, but at different times, like "when the light is read you stop, when it is green you go".

It's fascinating how many quite subtle rules you internalise about your native language without realising it.
Definitely consider migrating off Yandex. If (when) it will be required by gov to choose either staying in russia or outside of russia, it will choose the former.
I believe Apple and Mozilla’s position is it can’t be done in a privacy preserving way as currently specified.
Most workplaces, upon seeing that you’ve done this, will say “look, you can reinstall the corporate profile, or you can hand back the computer, or you can be fired.” (And if they catch you doing any circumvention to prevent them from finding out, then your options are likely to be “you can be fired”)
> Garmin has the best devices [for serious Athletes, not casual users].

I’m a happy Garmin user but I know a lot of distance runners that have switched to Coros. They love the battery life w/o sacrificing GPS accuracy.
Free Assange. He hasn't comitted any crimes, other than publish facts which ought to be publicly known. This is an attempt to muzzle journalism with WW1 laws which are undemocratic and tyrranical. (espionage act)

It's clearly been a politically motivated attack. The smears, the character assassinations have worked, sadly. There's no reason to keep him in a maximum security prison in solitary.
> Lazy loading images is at best user hostile bandwidth saving

It can easily be the vast majority of bandwidth spend even on a lightweight site. Add video widgets and bring that closer to 99%. Lazy loading is frequently a "can afford an extra 5 full time engineers" optimization
They’re probably marketing to potential contributors as much as to users at this point.
I've been part of an on call rotation at my current job and previous job. Both had the same rules because I and other engineers insisted on it.

* You are only on-call for systems you can directly change.

* The person who is on call has full flexibility to work on anything that improves the life of the on-call person for that time.

* Anything that wakes people up in the middle of the night gets prioritized above new feature work.

* There is a pager set of monitors, and a message only set of monitors. If a page goes off, and there is nothing the on-call engineer can do about it, it gets moved to the message only channel or removed, because it is a bad monitor.

I discussed this list of rules when I interviewed and the job description included being on-call. It wasn't a negotiation. If those aren't followed, I remove the monitors. I'm sorry you had a terrible work environment, but I encourage everyone to have professional standards. I hope you find a place where you can.
> is a countermeasure against phishing

How can it prevent phishing?
It reads like a cultural tall tale to me.

First, the subject of Indians cheating on exams is something that surfaces in Western news now and again. It's always said that there's these crazy tough exams that determine your life in India. For instance this guy apparently spent 11 years trying to pass. Totally unlikely, who would do that? The point seems to be to underline the importance of exams in India.

Second, the method of cheating is some badly explained but intricate mechanism. Badly explained in that the story is not complete, how exactly is the Bluetooth used? Intricate in that it's some weirdly complicated thing like getting an operation to have this implanted. It's always something that sounds way too complex to be worthwhile.

Third, the authority in charge of catching the cheaters seems oddly well appointed. Would you really send a special squad to check these kinds of things? Sure, check for hidden notes and phones. You really gonna check for Bluetooth? I mean maybe but I doubt it. How could the guy have a crazy special plan for implanting the thing in his ear but not have anything other than an ordinary plan for smuggling in the phone?

To me it reads like that story of a religious couple that don't know how babies are made. Comes about now and again, makes us chuckle, says something recognisable about society, but ultimately sounds not quite true.
> Can't we do the sensible thing and lift the minimum income high enough so that only those who want to study will go to college and do so without fear of missing out?

Australia has a kind of free university for all. Australian citizens get an interest free loan of about $5k/year for tuition. You just pay it back by paying a little more tax on your income over $47k/year until it's gone. If you don't earn over $47k/year, you never pay it back, which is fine and expected. It's also easy to get welfare for housing and food as a student, so university is mostly "free". (For various values of free)

Even with all of that, plenty of people still cheat on university exams. I was shocked to learn about it, but there are always people who take that route.
I lived in Crystal City for several years (in the high rise right above the Buffalo Wild Wings on 23rd and Crystal Drive).

This is actually a pretty big deal, and far more so than in other urban areas.

Why?

Because Crystal City has a far higher percentage of blind/visually impaired workers than other urban areas. It's the home of numerous Federal contractors and also government agencies with offices dedicated to employing visually impaired professionals. The vast majority of my walks to my office included at the very least 1, if not 3 or 4, encounters with blind pedestrians. Several lived in my building, including my weed hookup back then, who was legally blind although he had SOME peripheral vision. (In 2014 Virginia, weed was most definitely NOT legal, lol)
