> Popper argued that Plato had produced a vision of one such closed society. He pointed to the stratification of the social order in Plato’s ideal city, the strict division of labor between the intellectual and productive classes, the absence of social mobility, state censorship of most culture, and, above all, the promulgation of an openly fraudulent myth, the so-called Noble Lie, to legitimize the status quo.
I read somewhere that adiabatic heating would result in temperatures of around 170 degF at the deepest.
This is huge and long coming. Bravo to the EU!

It will enable more competition in critical markets, across the EU ( at least, if big tech companies decide to comply only within the EU and keep their platforms closed elsewhere, but IMHO that wouldn't last long). It will curtail monopolies/oligopolies.

That's the kind of thing ( like GDPR or standardising phone charger formats or investing in infrastructure) that makes Eurosceptics hard to take at face value.

> Violation of the rules could lead to fines as high as 10 percent of a company's annual global sales and even 20 percent for repeat offenders.

That's how fines are done. They'll no longer be "cost of business".

> In modern Windows, press Win-key and start to type, oops, it missed the first keypresses, presented the completely wrong results and made a mess of your workflow.

On Win10 I'm getting regular delays in keypresses and just enough lag when typing to be noticeable.

I've been trying plugging in two USB keyboards as a poor man's split keyboard, and the amount of software (looking at you IntelliJ in particular) that does something that means the characters arrive out of order when typing is hugely frustrating.
I disagree. Popper introduced the idea of scientism in a manner that comports with how it is used here.
Can't an illusion come true though?
I disagree. If you know how to code that is your biggest competitive advantage as a solopreneur. Do that and hire the sales guy instead.
We already do this in our every day life. If you talk to someone named Johnny and repeatedly call them John against their wishes (perhaps they just hate that shorthand name for whatever reason), you're likely going to get them to a point where it agitates them. And if you keep doing so at work it'll likely get you fired.
I use it, other than being a bit heavy weight, I love it. Same types of features but to me looks better in a few ways - supports any database, beautiful auto-generated ER diagrams, personally I like the interface better, and to the extent that you don't hate Eclipse it's an advantage that you can install it into a regular Eclipse instance and use any other language / plugin that Eclipse supports (for example editing SQL with vim keybindings). It's actually really cool, for example, working with Django, debugging your code and in the same window having auto-refresh running to show the rows getting added in the DBeaver interface.
You are referring to a technical solution, but the patented miracle cure could be limited to 1% of the patients and never make it to the rest, if for whatever reason it didn't make economical sense to do so. It's a bit of goal pushing, but I wouldn't call that "solving" cancer.
> I personally don't like the flat look. I think Microsoft was stupid for doing it. I think Apple is stupid for doing it and I've been praising Adwaita for being the sane option in an insane world.

I partly agree. Flat look done poorly is terrible. Apple is the only company who's been semi-consistently doing this well.

Not a surgeon, but in my area often it's not even so much that the results conflict with experience in a clinician versus researcher sense (although they often do), but that the research design itself is obviously flawed, in the sense that the assumptions made in the design, or the corners that are cut, or the way the data is massaged, or whatnot, are completely unrealistic, and the conclusions being drawn are completely inappropriate compared to what was done.

It might even be that you don't have to be an experienced clinician to tell something is wrong, but an experienced clinician would pick up on the problems immediately just through familiarity.

Feynman used the term "cargo cult science" and in my experience it applies to EBM more than any other area I've encountered.

You’re just used to the wrong approach, the old one actually is an inverted-grayscale theme.

The new one correctly follows the principle that foreground == lighter, background == darker in dark mode.

Uh, there is RFC 4180? https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4180
25 guys from IBM, 20 from Microsoft, 3 from Facebook, 10 from Google, 14 professors from different universities sit on a body that dictate how you're suppose to program. If you don't put 20 references in your source code to "The Gang of 4", you're credentials will never be enough to do anything but write doubly nested for loops.

Luckily the IT industry can just ignore them and demonstrate something better without bothering 6 other organs to check if they are allowed to build it.

But in truth i'm starting to worry about the Hollywood-NSA-Savethechildren 'consultants' influence on the laws that panders 'technical' solutions to make general computation a service instead of a human right.
Nah, magnets is just rude.
The Linux ecosystem is having a similar identity crisis as Microsoft and Apple. Some are of the opinion it should be mobile first, desktop first, or server/IOT/embedded. These are all competing concerns and will lead to further fragmentation in an already fragmented ecosystem.

The design of libadwaita is very reminiscent of the time I was at Apple. Around the time they decided to unify the codebase and lay off the entire OS X team and reorg it into a new software team. I noticed the design changes as part of dogfooding internal OS X versions and design changes were jarring to say the least.

In short, a product cannot be all things to all people. It should play to its strengths and delight it’s existing and new customers/users.
Introduction
We all think about improvising marketing strategies to captivate the audiences. These days push notifications are effective in engaging users and a few additions to these messages support in reaching conversion goals. Today we are excited to exchange knowledge about Call To Action (CTA) buttons in browser push notifications to engage users.

To simply put, CTA buttons are placed in push messages to lead subscribers in performing desired actions for conversions. These meaningful actions can be signing up for offers, buying products, downloading blogs, setting reminders, and others. The popup action buttons increase the convenience of users and publishers can also know the specific user behavior.

How Can You Use CTA Buttons in Push Notifications?
The action buttons can improve the conversions stats of your push campaigns. You can include multiple CTA buttons for one push notification. You can add these buttons to all industry websites like bloggers, eCommerce, news & entertainment, event organizing, and more. Let’s take look at a few cases where you can use CTA actions in push notifications.
Okta Hack? Customers Scramble as Okta Tries to Clarify Breach
From the looks of it, it already seems like an industry even it tries to appear not to. Ofcourse not all sectors will have the issue, just some (medicine, high tech for example)

Putting safeguards in place is a good thing. It’s like traffic rules that people need to adhere to.

That, at least, has been consistent since first release of Gnome 3 over 10 years ago.

Honestly, I don't know why I tried that hard to like the new Gnome. I'm so much happier using XFCE.
> I think common lisp is basically a better rust for a lot of the things rust is being used for..

More like a superior python with an awkward syntax and some crazy legacy (loop macro being the worst offender perhaps).

Just the other day, my ipython interpreter killed itself after having an uptime of 8 hours. No reason, just got tired of living. In such occasions, I hope I would've spent more time assimilating my brain to some common lisp craziness so I wouldn't have to deal with shit like that.
The article mentions traditional hormonal contraceptives don't work for men. This is a new approach, blocking a targeted receptor. I'm not aware of any such contraceptive for women. The apprehension in that case is understandable as it is not backed by the same experience as hormonal methods
If I had to put it another way, it's in their DNA to outsource scaling problems to middlemen.

The country's whole economic structure is a pyramid of sub-contracting companies that live and die on absorbing the scaling/operational risks for the bigger fishes.
>The short version: There is no particular reason to expect governments to be bad at this.

This. Look at the real NATO, when they band together and tell an adversary (Russia) not to break standards (declare war), they listen. A web NATO would be just as effective. You are right.
> I'm now imagining a very frustrated junior developer a few years from now trying to argue with Copilot to write code for a classifier for chemical compounds, but it just spits out code for classifying text.

So just the future version of a junior developer not knowing how to use their tools? Yeah, that scans. Still sounds incredibly useful however. The alternative is, of course, a junior developer fumbling as they try to write said program entirely from their learned skills and experience.
Or how about this.
Don‘t use code that some stranger puts on the internet for critical stuff.

I use Apple iCloud Keychain myself.

In recent times it was expanded with direct access from settings, TOTP support, notes per password etc.

And what maybe some people don’t know, it even has Windows support and a Chrome extension to use it within Chrome based browsers. (I myself am a Safari user though)

At least with iCloud Keychain I will be certain it is well integrated into my Apple devices.
That's also definitely true for universities with enough reputation and infrastructure to score large contracts/grants with private sector corporations (or mega US defense contractors).

I also know of a couple of chemistry professors and one is new and his PhD was overseas in Saudi Arabia and he basically said it was just large scale brute force data analysis and discovery of chemicals in Python with a small amount of lab work to prepare the datasets. Basically there's a huge pipeline for this sort of work to discover new chemicals in labs, get a PhD out of it, but it's all just sort of an engine that functions to brute force the chemical possibilities not real meaningful research. I never asked but I assume the results just get fed into a pharma company or something.

Then you have those chemists on the opposite end, ready to retire, who are working on cold fusion because why not it's interesting to study even if it goes nowhere.

Our whole society has kind of turned into a giant web of a machine that can't be untangled without ripping everything apart. Some of it is stupider than others, but most of it is kind of a bullshit layer on top of a bullshit layer. We obviously see that in IT as well, with marketing tools that are just wrappers for simple underlying tech that anyone could set up. Sometimes there is significant value added, sometimes there is none (or even negative value).

I don't know where I'm going with this so I'm going to stop typing.
It would be great to have on Fuji cameras something like Magic Lantern on Canon's. Technically camera HW is capable of much more than manufacturer allow to do with software.

They usually support cameras with updates for 2 years and and then nothing. I understand that it is more profitable to make new cameras but it is not sustainable and eventually all consumer camera manufacturer will have to change their approach, because this industry slowly dying in consumer area. And it is not necessary because of smartphones but also because cameras since circa 2014 are good enough to keep them until die, not to switch every year.

I'm using Fuji cameras for pro work over 5 years now and I still mostly use X-T2 and x100F. Those are most reliable cameras I have. Very solid construction, "made in Japan". X-T3 feels very plasticky. Same for X-T4.
I appreciate this page quite a bit less than you because I found it absolutely unnecessary to have an entire page of blank space between items blown up so large that they cannot fit in my full-screen viewport on desktop. I tried to zoom and the page completely ignored it.

It is one of the worst perpetrators of this I have experienced on the web and a pox on anyone that ignores browser controls on their site!
For everyone who think this is new stuff: It is not new. There was another company in the German speaking space, Vienna more exactly, see craftworks.at, that offered almost the exact same product already back in 2019, perhaps even earlier, also called "Bionic Reading".
In the current version of the website this does not appear, but it is saved in archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20190119032121/http://br.craftwo...

Perhaps the author of the current offering worked at craftworks at that time, then left and took his IP with him, I don't know.
That is the worst thing. Updating a UI while the user is interacting with it.

Everything that reaches the screen should remain FIXED in place unless moved //by the user//.

This might happen E.G. because something was loading and now gets a resize event; so some list suddenly changes the position of everything rather than force the user to click something else to resize the misbehaving entry. (Scrolling could also do this, if it's based on a distinct UI element that is not 'activate the list'.)

I think of this frequently when I interact with bad offenders, Like Waze on my phone. I have like 2 addresses starred in addition to the home and work slots. It should PIN those, in a fixed (probably alphabetical) order under the home and work slots. If it's not going to do that for starred items (maybe I have 300 addresses?) it should give me a different widget to pin them.
What about it ? I'm certainly missing a reference because this evokes nothing to me

One could also say the pill can control women's hormonal cycles. It's hardly a given that it will "wreck" them.

Thankfully the pill is one of the many female contraceptive choices.
That depends on the code. Neverball has acquired a high level of portability thanks in large part to SDL2 and OpenGL (ES). So compiling to Emscripten was mostly about rearranging the pieces that were already there. My original patch was surprisingly small. (https://github.com/Neverball/neverball/commit/517c93b7bcf63f...) I would say I spent more time on integration with browser APIs, so it would behave and feel more like a web app.
Hormone blockers in prepubescent teens has been used for decades before transgender people had the option available. It was frequently used to treat people going through early puberty. We know how safe and effective they are because we have a whole body of scientific literature around people being on hormone blockers for 5-6+ years.

It's only as a result of the fear around transgender people that this is causing problems and, as usual, it also affects cisgender children because they issue blanket bans on treatments.
Just FYI, as I detailed in my top-level comment: While it is a really nice tool, it is already a few years old, so I'm not sure if it qualifies as innovative.

IntelliJ is really bad about this sometimes. I get that their software does an incredible amount of really tough stuff behind the scenes (which is why I won't be switching any time soon), but God I wish they prioritized input responsiveness over everything else.
> How about some kind of film or sensor that needs minutes of particle exposure from a far lesser powerful source?

This makes sense only if the source is powerful enough to penetrate what you want to image. That’s why we’re usin x-rays for this and not visible light. And a much less powerful x-ray source will deposit more energy in the hand/limb of the spectrum that does not penetrate. Hence relatively high-energy radiation delivers good images and minimizes the dose to the patient.
If it's some kind of timing/performance/hardware interface issue, it's quite possible different machines will act differently.
Does this mean the upgraded Switch can never be upgraded again? If the upgrade fuses are blown this would imply no further upgrades are possible. If Nintendo can bypass the fuses others might be able to also and hence downgrade their systems.
The fix is only in develop since 2018, and nobody bothered to merge it into master, and release it properly.
Just last week I found myself in a position where I was at a major event (SXSW in Austin TX) having to support normal users trying to do various things on mobile and it's really eye-opening when you see first-hand how bad the experience is. I had a conversation with a user recently which went something like this:

'Yeah I know they have an app but your thing won't show up in the app for about a day so you need to go to their website on mobile to see it. Right, you're on the mobile website and I know your thing is still not showing up now. To see it, go to the hamburger menu in the top right. Yeah I know it doesn't look like a menu, or a hamburger. The three lines, that's a menu. Now go "account -> profile". Now you see the text where it says "XXX"? That's actually a tab. I know it doesn't look like a tab, just a word. You can't see any of the other tabs because they are actually off the right-hand side of the screen. I know it doesn't look like you can scroll, but just drag it across and you'll see the other tabs. Ok now click on the tab marked "YYY"'

Trying to figure out this user flow for myself so I could help people reminded me of charging around hitting random walls in "Dark Souls" trying to find out which ones were illusory. It's really embarrassing how bad things have got.
I personally prefer desktop apps. I find most of them smoother, and more intuitive given that you get used to the controls/widgets of a particular OS and most apps will have some similarities in their GUI. But web apps are so much easier to handle, and you get less of the headaches of OS compatibility, package management, dependencies, security, etc.
> Mobile equipment does exist, however it is usually used at smaller hospitals who don't have the space or money for a permanent unit.

Or used for bed-side imaging for certain patients/issues.
> Most big global brands are getting into rent seeking because the technology allows it, even company's like GE aka General Electric have diversified from making light bulbs to making money from finance activities ...

That's factually wrong. While Finance was a big part of GE in the early 2000s it all pretty much unraveled after the financial crisis[1].

Money quote :

"GE Capital is the financial services division of General Electric.[1]

The company currently only runs one division, GE Energy Financial Services; it had provided additional services in the past; however, those units were sold between 2013 and 2018."

Is there anything the internet believes people should pay for that Apple and Google shouldn't?

I think at this point people have balanced the entire global government budget + all consumer spending against a handful of tech company's balance sheets.

It's funny nobody does this against less visible but equally powerful companies. I don't hear anyone claiming Cargill should be funding open standards ag tech.

Literally populism.
> I too hate the material design kind of flatness. For me, only apple somehow gets UI right (at least for me) and it feels very intuitive for me while also looking very good.

I dunno about that (both Apple using flat, and the "gets it right" part).

I'm looking at activity monitor now, under memory pressure, and the table of memory types has "Memory used" row expanded, and yet none of the rows are actually clickable. I spent a few seconds yesterday trying to click the other rows.

Then I looked at system preferences, and it's not actually flat widgets - they have relief for those things that can be interacted with. Things that are clickable are visually marked as such.
I feel like you might be missing the point I'm (and GGP's) trying to make. If you're considering whether to give your money, why would you focus on exec salaries rather than results? So the comparison is: if you're buying a jar of peanut butter, why would you focus on what their execs are paid, rather than the peanut butter it will get you?

(And to pre-empt that: I'm not saying you can't criticise results. I'm saying that focusing on exec pay rather than on results feels misdirected.)
We are currently exactly at the threshold of 5 devs. As soon as we hire another dev we'll have to move to github. I like gitlab but there is no way to justify paying 5x per user.
