Not to really defend Google here, but how else would you do it? The amount of data on these platforms is enormous and having people review the videos/apps/whatever would be simply prohibitively expensive.

I think they need to balance how strict their abuse detection is. Making it too strict will kick out legitimate users without mercy. Making it less strict will allow potentially harmful (for business) content to spread on their platform, which could lead to lawsuits, loss of advertisers etc. You can see which direction is more appealing for a corporation.

So concretely, now we complain about mistreated users, but if the automatic moderation was less strict, we'd complain about extreme content. It's not an easy problem.

The truth is whatever one's personal list of "must haves" and "should haves" are for a given language, there are probably at least 2 or 3 major languages that fit the bill in a given domain, and probably more if you're willing to use stuff like Haskell or Racket or Clojure (all fine languages but compare their popularity to JS or PHP to Python).

For every person who is vehemently in favor of one language over all others, it's usually pretty easy to point out another language that will get you 99% of what that other language will. So it's not a very tenable position to think one language is the be all end all.

But on the flip side, and in part because of the points above, "language cargo culting is stupid and should be avoided in almost every instance" can make a great deal of sense.
The analog RGB signals from an Amiga are so standard that you can easily break them out and plug into almost any analog RGB monitor, including any decent VGA monitor with an off the shelf adapter. Composite support is an aberration and no one in their right mind would run an Amiga using composite only for any significant period of time, and it has always been that way. It was a waste of hardware, they should have left it out, almost no one ever used it.

Of course these days HDMI conversion is better, but that is also the case for nearly any video signal you want to display from more than a couple of decades ago.
How about the fact home prices are inflated to the point where you must take out a loan?

The ubiquity of the mortgage seems like it's more an enabler of corporatized property buying by turning homes into a financial vehicle.

You can blame zoning all you want, but really all zoning is is trying to ensure you don't end up with something massively disruptive to the surrounding area popping up without getting due attention paid to it. Furthermore, the big push for "high density housing" doesn't do squat to make ownable housing more accessible.

Face it. It's the incestuous relationship with the financial sector. Cut that, and you're at least not continuing to do the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result.
As a volcanologist, I feel everyone should read "No Apparent Danger" . It's quite a critical account of the profession, so it might not "lure" you, but it's what you need to read if you are interested. Accessible and full of true drama and tragedies you probably didn't know about.

Man Im getting old, all I could hear in the attached Video was "We made it slower because our modern >$1K GPUs can run it, sucks to be you".

"no baked lights, reducing compile time from hours to minutes"

Logic error, my brain hurts. If they managed to optimize lighting subsystem to make it run at realtime speed then Light compile time could also take minutes. Why trying to sell it as some kind of speed optimization?
I don't see the problem with this. I clicked the site actually debating getting some to try depending on price per lb.
Unless you're upgrading production before lower environments, you'll still find out exactly what you need to fix, won't you? And unless you're waiting until the last possible moment to upgrade core infrastructure I don't see how anyone is getting any rug pulled out from anywhere.
Google really should have a manual process with actual humans one can interact with when Google accounts that had enough money pass through them are involved.
> The thing is, your Keycloak instance is not going to matter to any hacker, particularly if it's inside a VPN and not reachable from the Internet.

This doesn't make it particularly usable as SSO...

>Good network design costs a lot of money to set up, particularly to limit the scope of an attack (e.g. because the VPN software had a vulnerability), but it's orders of magnitude better in the long run than to outsource core IT to some incompetent fools with subcontractors.

This is exactly my point. Most businesses not not have the resources to maintain this level of infrastructure.

Additionally, I'm personally of the opinion that walled gardens with VPN entry points are a particularly good choice for modern businesses these days. Even the White House OMB is pushing the beyondcorp model in their recent recommendations for ZT.
Very interested in this. I'm currently learning a second language and my programmer brain keeps getting side tracked by _human language as an abstraction_ in and of itself. I'd be very interested in a basic intro to linguistics book that starts from first principles and goes through what grammar fundamentally is, syntax, morphology, etc.
https://killedbygoogle.com/ contains Nexus. That was clearly replaced by Pixel.

Hedge funds are a very diverse group: from small shops managing tens of millions to the large funds managing tens of billions.

The very good ones probably make around 20% a year (meaning that they earn around $40M per year per $1B that’s under management).

HFT companies are a different story. The biggest ones make around $1B/year (e.g Virtu, Flow Traders which are public), with a few of them even bigger.

There are many tier two companies making tens - few hundred million dollars per year.

So none of them are really big (compared, to say, a big bank), but they do make a lot of money per employee, and the salaries reflect that.
I never liked the standard browser UI/UX. I hate the wasted vertical space that's used up by menu bars, adress bars and whatever.

I customized my firefox so all the "bars" are in the window-title.

A bit of a pain. But to be fair, this import was deprecated since python 3.3, released almost 10 years ago.
I agree that it should save to the format it was previously saved in as a default, but it isn't necessarily user-hostile. "Normal" people coming over to a Mac probably want to use Pages, and might even appreciate the transparent conversion of their documents to the native format.

If the option to export was missing, that would be user-hostile IMO. Same with your example of GNOME disallowing desktop icons – the feature is missing, not just something you have to enable.
Is that how your Firefox looks like?

Could you please share your userChrome.css file or does it contain any sensitive data?
That's fair I'm not really one for jargon and whatnot (I think it can actually become less useful if the goal is just to communicate something to a person), but the first line in wiki says:

> a homoglyph is one of two or more graphemes, characters, or glyphs with shapes that appear identical or very similar.

"Very similar" and "two or more" being the key words.

As for homograph I found homoglyph by reading the wiki and it saying homoglyph is more appropriate.

(Insert obligatory "wiki it's not always accurate etc etc"). Overall I'd take either one and personally don't care. Just trying to match what you're saying with what I'm reading and make sense of where the truth is.
Unfortunately, anytime you depend on a third party whether it be Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., this is the exact risk you take. Don’t feed the dragon.
If they are running 20 year old copper that will slow things down, and your only solution is to replace it.

20 year old fiber? Upgrade the optics on both ends for a couple grand and you are up to date again.

Google is not incapable of providing customer support. Netflix, Apple, and Amazon all manage to provide free, robust customer service.

Might want to get a head start on the receiving hardware, though. Most SDRs don't go that low, and though soundcards can go that high, their input impedance may not be well suited to whatever antenna you can cobble up. Oh, and you'll want an absolutely enormous antenna. Get a roll of cheap fence wire and string it halfway down the block...
I'm not negatively predisposed to this kind of news, I'm just asking to be provided with the same kind of evidence we'd require if it was a less inflammatory topic.

I find it very unlikely this evidence is going to appear, however if it does, I'll change my mind. But now, my default hypothesis is this is not true or terribly exaggerated.
I still think some congress person needs to pass a consumer rights bill that forces companies like this to disclose the exact reason and data relating the account termination. The excuse of security practices should not come before consumer rights.

Frankly, we would ALL also be safer if the decision had to be made based on conduct on that specific service and could not include anything outside that service. There is a certain scale where your company is now an internet utility and you should have to act like every other utility.
I picked that one up because of a similar recommendation, but didn't finish it. I think I was expecting an extensive collection of different ciphers throughout history with some short historical anectodes to go along with them. But it's really more about a few selected historical applications of encryption with a heavy focus on their historical context.
Did their accounts end up permanently banned or could they recover them? Seems like something that could actually be abused if not. A weaponized banned Google account on a laptop. A laptop with cooties. The seven generations punishment.

You probably don't run the same hardware or software, then. DRM doesn't quite work on Linux (so no 4k). MS Office, a business need, requires WINE or similar. No Adobe. There's Proton now for games, but only a tiny sliver of the full Steam library, especially for less-popular indie games (which is where most of the innovation is in PC gaming).

I've had bad drivers melt my dining table when the fan wouldn't kick in and the CPU didn't thermally throttle, during the Ubuntu install process. I've had to manually adjust display settings in the command line because various pieces of the UI couldn't agree with each other (Ubuntu's UI vs Gnome/KDE vs some other stuff), and hi-DPI, > 60 refresh rate, HDR, ultrawide, etc. were all a pain to set up, especially with multiple monitors. And some apps just don't exist for Linux, like the Sonos controller, motherboard firmware upgrade exes, commercial GIS software, Lightroom, etc.

All of that is just plug and play on Windows, and sometimes on Mac. With Linux it's always a multi-hour ordeal, all to end up with a poor ripoff of the Windows 7 UI or whatever Ubuntu's latest experiment is. Just, why?

The command-line is great, but zsh on macOS takes care of those needs 99% of the time. Among high-hassle tools, running WSL on Windows makes for overall less headaches than running a Windows VM or Wine on Linux. In between, Parallels on macOS is that sweet spot of usability and broad compatibility for me personally. There's nothing that I NEED on Linux on the desktop, so I'm happy to set it up on the server side and use something else at home.

Try as I might, every few years I install a few Linux distros to test them out, because people keep swearing they are better and totally ready. I'm sorry, but for an average lazy user like me, they're just not. ChromeOS is as close as any distro has come, and I'd happily install that if it didn't require a 3rd-party repackaging.

My next laptop might be a Chromebook, which is superficially and technically Linux I guess, but minus the regular chaos of the normal Linux ecosystem. I've never just never had a good experience with desktop Linux outside of Android and ChromeOS, sorry. Maybe you're lucky, or maybe I'm unlucky, but it's always been a hassle and never worth it...
I think if users could sue for this sort of thing Google would start doing that because it would be cheaper than fending off lawsuits.
Then why would I eat vegan? If I like the food less, and it's not optimal for health, and I am fine with animals suffering for my food, why?
I noticed this recent change too. Deliberate degradation of service via competitors (Fastmail is objectively not a spam relay and I'm sure the folks at GMail know that) is just more fodder for the coming anti-trust case.
It's hard to talk about these things because there is limited factual basis, but the phenomena are so important that we can't just ignore them because they are difficult (welcome to the humanities!).

I suspect it's connected to what IMHO we all see but rarely talk about, the massive social change that hit a threshold in 2016 with the election in the US of Donald Trump, and then the convervative and Republican embrace of what he espoused (remember that many leaders on the right rejected DT before the election, some after, and that number has seemed to decline).

We don't have words for it, but IMHO a precise (and cumbersome!) term is the active political rejection of post-modernism - not against post-modernism in its actual meaning, but the politically-loaded meaning. The politically-loaded concept includes the entire Enlightement, of which post-modernism was a recent development, the baby and bathwater: The ideas of reason/rationality (replaced by 'winners' - brazenness and aggression), fact and knowledge (replaced by 'post-truth'), intellect, universal rights and humanitarianism (replaced by nationalism and reactionaryism), and through those things the power and obligation of humans to better their world and themselves. Today I regularly hear people attributing those things to the post-1960s left wing, which would be very surprising to post-1960s conservatives (until 2016) and to people going back centuries before them!

A simpler but less precise term is Reactionary, which is someone or something that is against, but not for anything. In this case, against post-modernism, but not for anything in particular. Nihilsm might be another term.

Given the number of legit bad actors, I don't think it's reasonable to make it illegal to ban users.

If anything it should be made easier to install programs without a "store" at all. Operating systems worked fine without this concept, and the play store and ios store are functioning as rent-seeking middle men, taking money without offering anything of value in return.
That does sound like a nice improvement. We’re held back by the pricing model so most people I know have treated 5G as something they’ll get eventually but won’t really change what they do.

The guilty-pleasure entertainment from drama makes sense. Though I interpreted it in part a side effect of the ephemeral nature of a room, strongly discouraging recording. A place where it was difficult to be held accountable by being recorded in some form and refuted more formally. A platform that rewards the underdeveloped thoughts in ones head. Maybe that's just social media in general but felt like it was sharper here. I stopped coming before they added the clipping feature.

My favorite example was when there was some comradery in a room about a guy divorcing his wife because she got COVID vaccinated and there was some unfounded ideas about a sexually transmitted thing about the vaccines. It would be interesting if they would allow the audience to have some passive feedback, like thumbs down "I disagree with the stage." Then at least it wouldn't feel like an echo chamber by the loudest while half the audience is just listening curiously in disbelief.
One thing I've observed is population growth control - be it reducing the growth or encouraging growth - always fails miserably. For example many people have heard of the one child policy in China, but the facts are that both the introduction and the removal of the policy had no perceptible effect on fertility rates.
You can toggle between the SUID and unprivileged user namespaces implementation at compile time. I think most distros are shipping the unpriv'd userns configuration, and if they aren't they should be.

hmmm, i'm paying exactly the same rate I have been paying for years and even took them up on a second business line for free. Your theory isn't panning out for me. Also my 5g experience with t-mobile is that it's between 3-8x as fast as I was getting before on LTE in the areas that I frequent. So I'm not complaining. I mean I WANT my gigabit 5G but I'm okay right now at this pricepoint.
PiHKAL by Alexander and Ann Shulgin is on its face a book about love and chemistry. Taken together it becomes more of a treatise on how psychopharmacology is a method of personal and sociological analysis. Drug use becomes a psychological tool to manifest the phenomena of the mind that are normally hidden, and novel synthesis becomes a tool to then access the areas of the mind unexplored throughout history. Aside of all this, the Shulgin's story is one of absolute dedication to science in the face of its many impediments: internal psychology, interpersonal relations, social stigma, technical innovation, and authoritarian censorship.

French here, last I've heard of it Dassault and Airbus were deadlocked on the split of industrial responsibilities and couldn't seem to be able to find an agreement. Hopefully I'm wrong, but this was starting to sound more and more like a repeat the break up of the Future European Fighter Aircraft project in the 80s that led to the separate Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon programs... Which is a shame because we've done at least one successful French/German multinational military jet before (Alpha Jet). The Main Ground Combat System project, which is supposed to be our next generation main battle tank, was also deadlocked last I've heard of it.

One thing's for sure, the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war has profoundly shocked the entire European continent and has led to the biggest re-evaluation of our defense strategies in decades, along with energy policy and even food supply security. It's too early to tell exactly what will come of it, but national defense budgets are already rising significantly.
