> Keep in mind that a substantial portion of users now use ad blockers such that a lot of URLs used for analytics like this are blocked.

How sure are we about this? I'm pretty sure it depends on which market specifically you're in, and the data I'm about to show is of course not perfect, but it seems that not so many users actually do use adblockers today. Although I don't know a single developer who doesn't, and in some web applications I'm running, the majority of users do use adblockers as they are focused on developers.

Chrome is assumed to be the most popular browser (by a large margin last time I checked, so I won't bother to check again) and a quick search puts the user base around 2-3 billion users. Searching for "adblock" in the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/adblock?hl=en&_cat...) shows that the most popular adblocker has a user base of ~300,000 users.

That makes 0.015% to 0.01% of Chrome users having the "AdBlock" extension installed. Not that substantial.

If someone has some more accurate numbers than my slightly-educated guess, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Edit: The above user base of the adblock extension is wrong. As Jabbles pointed out, I was seeing the number of reviews, not number of users.

So instead, the page lists "10,000,000+ users" so we can assume the true number to be above that, but below "100,000,000+ users" users.

That would put the amount of Chrome users using the "AdBlock" extension between 0.3% and 5% more of less. Closer to "substantial", but not sure if it would impact businesses choice regarding ads/tracking or not.
How to Make Thousands per Hour as a Smart Contract Auditor
People who live with a government where everything is allowed except what is explicitly forbidden won’t stand for a sudden, drastic, decrease in liberty without a representative vote.

US politicians know this which is why a strong suggestion plus threatening employers with licensing revocation unless they, in turn, threaten employees with job termination over non-compliance is all they could do.

> how to make the modern data stack more intuitive?

I'd start with getting people to learn relational data modeling and SQL [1][2] at a deep level. Stop reaching for python and pandas/spark for every basic data manipulation task or query. Stop adding in layers of Airflow/Dagster/Prefect when a simple cron would work. Stop adding in Kubernetes/GKE/Fargate to manage the aforementioned. Stop moving data between systems constantly (meltano, airbyte, fivetran) when you already have it in a perfectly good place. Stop with the toxic positivity that's completely overflowing the modern-data world and all these bullshit VC-infused startups who are convinced they need every single element and more.

99% of business needs can be satisfied by a single Postgres/Mysql installation and a halfway-competent person armed with SQL and an understanding of normalization. Reach for Excel when you need to do more "hands-on" analysis, business modeling, charting, basic forecasting, and presentation for non-technical users.

> It's fundamentally wrong for one human (the PhD supervisor) to have so much unchecked power over another

Why is this fundamentally wrong? Short of a truly equitable society (which I think most agree would be a dystopian nightmare), I don't see this as fixable. The problem is that the power is abused.

The best way to fix this is high trust societies, not creating one more institution with a disproportionate amount of power.
> Open-source software aside—if I publish a paid app, and later someone else borrows my idea and publishes a differently-branded paid app that does the same thing.

This isn’t analogous to the Ed Sheeran situation though. The analogy to the Ed Sheeran situation wouldn’t be someone copying software wholesale (obviously wrong) but another Twitter client using the ‘pull down to refresh timeline’ mechanism on an iOS app.
Let's also not forget the 10 billion dollars the US committed to vaccines (Warp Speed, under Trump) and the obvious promise of massive financial windfalls for the successful pharmaceutical companies from high-paying US citizens through our public/private health insurance. Our HC system is a mess, and expensive, but the rest of the world benefitted massively from our investment.
I have always wondered this. In US left wing groups are always outraged about treatment of illegal/undocumented immigrants. Why is there no outrage how legal immigrants are being treated in US?
If the plagiarism was intentional, it would be trivial for the artist to simply not document the portions of the process which would reveal it. He could work out his version from the original whistling to himself in the shower, then go to the studio and start playing other random melodies that he morphs over the course of a few hours into his intended version.

Of course, "proof" is beyond the point in these sort of civil trials, but even taken as merely persuasive evidence, I'm not very impressed.
> I'm a huge privacy advocate

Your previous comment directly contradicts this. People who advocate for privacy, don't go out of their way to harvest data without consent.
lol I hope for the sake of your graduate students that your institution has a union. Your personality sounds exactly like the countless professors I've seen abuse their workers.
I think my views on immigration are liberal for someone from my background. I was born in Thailand, but I would never imply any connection to Thailand because Thais don’t embrace as Thai people who just happen to be born there. My home country, meanwhile, is an ethnostate created after British India was subdivided by religion, and then when the Muslim part split over language.

What I’m unwilling to do is hold Americans to a different standard than anyone else. I find it objectionable when some Americans attack other Americans as “nativist and racist” for having views on immigration indistinguishable from my parents, most people in my home country, or for that matter, most people in the countries that immigrants are coming from.
As someone that needs to do this to minimize repetitive strain, yes it very much is important.
Your reasoning is interesting. A non-shocking (in the sense of statistics and its likelihood on base population) event being posted and shared in digital media can result in reciprocally huge media effects.
US Universities have enormous overhead costs. And unfortunately the PhD students / post docs are paying with their blood and sweat for these.

My advisor had to spit 150k to the university to have me as a student (including a 20k fee for lab usage, despite the fact my PhD was a theoretical one).

From that 150k I was taking 22k - 3k of mandatory health insurance. I could barely make it given that I had to pay > 12k per year for rent and utilities (with roommates).

Meanwhile the University would splash money to get athletic coaches or give bonuses to the executives or open branches in dictatorships.

I think unions should focus on university management, because they have been acting unchecked for way too long.
Which is one big reason why Biden's polls are so horrific presently (high inflation, negative wage growth, very serious concerns about the future including cost of living; so he's getting the blame and is viewed as being not very competent).

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm not from US and you might be onto something. I don't know names of SOs of my team members, besides one. As per children, I don't know either.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect to be able to list real estate for rent or sale, and also expect privacy with regards to the address.
What you're proposing won't work for any but the technological elite.

It requires too many technical skills to work.

Alternatively, it requires too much money to hire the technical skills to work.

If it doesn't work for the majority (even a reasonably sized minority) of people, regardless of being borne of the best of intentions, it's not a viable alternative. Period.
There is a big difference between being proficient at managing a countries affairs and being popular by the means you manage the countries affairs.

In the modern age this is even more apparent because of the media and how stupidly polarising it is compared to the era of Carter, Reagan and Nixon.

Best example that comes to mind is Kevin Rudd - Prime Minister of Australia. Supremely competent, both as a diplomat but also as a leader. However his popularity was destroyed by a campaign but Rupert Murdoch after he started to implement his campaign promise of a national fibre-to-the-home network. Ironically most people think it was his mining "super-tax" that turned the media against him but that was very much just a cover-up for the real reason Murdoch wanted him out.

Carter is different because the sentiment at the time was such there really wasn't a lot he could do. No ammount of competency was going to rescue the mess Nixon created. By decoupling the worlds currency system from gold and simultanously creating a situation where domestic oil production peaked the oil crisis was bound to happen eventually. The devaluation of the USD caused real loss in incomes from the middle-eastern countries and they (perhaps rightfully?) used this leverage to ratchet up prices and secure their own futures at the expense of global economic activity. They both fucked up though because the resulting oil glut really screwed the middle east in the following decade.

Either way, I don't buy the argument that Carter was incompetent because he didn't win a second term. I don't think anyone could have in those conditions and I also don't think he really had the power to change them. He did a decent job of implementing policies that would eventually shield the US from OPEC shenanigans but they took a long time to come to fruition, much too late to save his second term.
I use a similar process to look at interesting job listings sent to me unsolicited by recruiters. You can anonymize the company but it only takes a few unique phrases to locate the posting with Google.
In San Francisco, when I was looking for an apartment,, I always ended up with an apartment with the worst pictures / missing things in the description on Craigslist, because they had less interest / were cheaper.

The market for rentals is never efficient and will never be! People who post to Zillow with a perfect description know they can extract more money for it.
JSON standards for general-purpose data about real-world entities should really be based on JSON-LD and use meaningful properties as defined by well-known shared standards such as schema.org. Then there might actually be some chance for, say, a "JSON-LD resume format" to be useful for automated, programmatic analysis.

This line is expected to become endemic. China may have to stomach the current variants. It's not that relevant, but the coronavirus family is always going to reappear as it stands. I hope they recognize when it's no longer the same virus or same threat. Scientists proved that even in the perfect quarantine of Antarctica, coronavirus can reappear after months. This and many other lessons don't seem to get much attention. In any case, China is ruled by fear and its no surprise they are overconfident in their abilities. It does feel like even Western democracies paved the way for a country like this to stick to a single-minded approach when when its probably not called for.

Ethereum et al are toy systems. We're only barely scratching the surface of what we can do with them. The early Internet was a toy system, and look how it blossomed into this marvel we call the The (modern) Internet.

Failure is an opportunity to start again more intelligently. I have no doubt the Internet will eventually become distributed and decentralized. Just add time and political will.
Negative comments usually don’t have anything disrupted. This however disrupted the consumption of websites that use this library. So these websites were indeed sabotaged for the end user through this library.

In comparison this act is probably more disruptive then anti-war sticker bombing in grocery stores (https://t.me/nowarmetro/465) and most people would call that sabotage.

But like I said, sabotage is not loaded. It can cause anything from a minor or trivial disruption, to a major destruction. It can have a positive or negative message, or even no message at all.
So demand massivley outstrips supply. If people aren't living in such horrible circumstances (crime, homelessness, drug abuse), why is demand so high that houses are unaffordable?
I'm also against native clients that are inherently user-hostile. Does that mean I'm against modern computing?

I'm also against people working against my interest that only use pen and paper. Perhaps this issue is more about privacy and ethics than some judgement of being for or against some "modern" notion of computing.

Personally I'd prefer platforms that have privacy (and security) guarantees built in. Given the strong conflict of interests at play, I don't think we can expect that from any of the big players (if it's even reasonable at scale).
EmEditor, it’s windows only: https://www.emeditor.com/
edit: sorry I'm just going to disengage from this, I feel trolled so that's that. If you want to interrogate my position, then maybe ask a question. No questions have been asked so an interrogation is not what's taking place here.

Ranting about a third party not involved in the discussion here, who nobody knows, is completely different than writing a response to someone, attacking them directly, and calling into question their professional capabilities directly, then doubling down and tripling down on that even after they asked you to stop is just rude and unnecessarily antagonistic. I asked you to make a point a couple times now and you don't have a point to make except to attack me personally, so kindly find someone else to troll.
I believe it’s similar in music-related jobs. There’re always opportunities to earn money doing work for hire (scoring, mastering, arranging, performing), but they tend to not pay too well.

I love blogs like this. Showing the dirty side of data acquisition with an end result of useable software, that hacks around provider limitations to give something way better. We’ll done.
If I am just getting to know you, I will use references like "my husband" or "my husband, Tom". After I have know you a while, I will probably become less formal and just use the name "Tom" on the assumption that with history and context you will know who I mean.

If these people are colleagues, is the the first time you are speaking to them or do you have an existing relationship?
And, ironically, it is effectively over in places with a non strict lockdown policy. Once omicron became dominant it was over, it’s so infectious it’s pointless to lock down. Omicron was/is the ultimate vaccine in the US at least.
Aren't they? Not binary compatible, but you should be able to compile more or less the same software on any GNU/Linux unless you're missing dependencies.
It's a much more personal/intimate way of interacting with someone. I know the names of many/most of my co-worker's SOs and kids and vice versa.
You're looking at number of reviews, the number of downloads is significantly higher.
i don't share this experience at all. i've used zillow and apartments.com recently (found a place through apartments.com about a year ago and just found one through zillow a few weeks ago) and had no issues. the filter options work how you'd expect, and i wasn't put in touch with any middle men - it was either the private property owner or the apartment management company who handled the leasing directly.
I really feel like work would be quite tolerable at 4 days a week. 5 days plus commute has always felt suffocating to me.
If this stack gives the control over data back to the users, there will be some value. But I assume, even with this stack there will again be tendencies towards centralization driven by convenience, efficiency and simply bargaining power...
I have a taste for "genteel dilapidation".

I'm a lover of buildings where the wooden ridgelines have sagged a little over time.

Ours works well 9 months of the year; its does suck in winter. in hot summertime barefoots on it works well :)

"somewhere you live" is exactly the point. Our house has been a kennel as much as a house. Few people want that, we're just weird.
One might just write an article about the underwhelming impact of commenting on the internet.
I am American (or at least was, I emigrated away) and will use the names of my family members to people who have asked about them and I have mentioned the names before. Using them without ever introducing them sounds very strange (nothing to do with casualness or whatever, you would just have no way to know what I am talking about.)

I suspect they think they have already mentioned them before, but forgot they didn’t? Or are you saying it is weird even if you know their names to refer to them by name?
Doh, you're right! I blame it on poor UX in the Chrome Web Store :) Will update my comment...

To be fair, you're comparing a group of child actors being given lines and playing a role to other kids. Not every adult can act well nor speak as eloquently as an actor, much less every child.
I wonder if a hybrid approach would work well here to maximize both quality and bandwidth, using baked textures and similar techniques. The idea would be to generate the scene dynamically but use pre-calculated lighting, shadows, etc. as much as possible since the content is basically static.

Totally agree. Lots of lives were devastated over these “not serious lockdowns”. Let’s not even talk about the effects of school closures…
I take it you mean Amsterdam.
The situation was especially dire under Carter, not least when the energy crisis struck at the end of his term. The humiliation that was the Iran Hostage Crisis (also towards the end of his term) did not help.

And so Reagan moved in and vowed to "make America great again".

This has nothing to do with ideology and my comment was not an ideological attack. People are first and foremost concerned about their lives and livelihoods.

Considering the economic situation over Carter's term it was always going to be an uphill struggle to be re-elected.

PS: that quote is by an adviser of Bill Clinton's during his successful campaign against Bush and, I believe, was on the wall of their campaign HQ... I'm sure no-one felt disrespected or insulted.

I was going to say that this isn't quite right, that you could implement structured concurrency at the language level and have a compiler know how to thread the needle between the different "colors".

But then I realized this is exactly what Go does (with the scheduler intercepting system calls), just minus the structured concurrency point, strengthening your point that these are orthogonal.
How do P2P video calls work? For a 10 people call do you need N*(N-1)/2 = 45 connections? Do residential internet connections have that much upload bandwidth ?
We were just talking about this yesterday in my family... I think you should take it as a sign of intimacy, that is to say that there is a familiarity and and comfort such that they are willing to share things about their personal life as though you know them on that level. Either that or they just aren't self aware enough to know that you don't have any idea who Emma and Jake are. The better approach is to say something like "I had to watch my son Jake for two hours" so that the listener has context, but of course that assumes the speaker is aware enough in their communication patterns to want to give the other party helpful cues.
I used to buy “peak tea” in the single serve bottles. They seem to have changed the packaging slightly on the newest runs - of maybe at a certain factory as I see both packaging.

But - they have this impossible to peal / remove layer of heat shrink material over the top lid - I have to always use two hands and knife carefully.

on top of that, they seem to fill them to the very top, if I’m not careful taking off the lid I spill it.

I actually stopped buying them because of 1 - cost for something I didn’t really need, but also 2 - the package difficulty.
> It's crazy to me that researchers prefer to be published over having world renowned software to their name.

If you went into research, you have occupational incentives to publish papers, but not to publish software.

As someone who went into applied software, there's a lot of published research that's so disconnected from reality, that it couldn't possibly be useful for anything but publication stats for the named researchers. On the other hand, every once in a while, there's a gem that's useful.

My personal favorite is network research where everything was done with models of TCP that aren't at all similar to actual TCP stacks, production or research.
You didn't even mention all the straight scam advertisements you have to wade through. Next time I move I am going to hire a PA to handle searching and making viewing appointments.
Sorry to be blunt, but I guess it’s in their culture to do so. It’s not “like you know them”, they just like to talk about people by their name instead of repeating my son this my son that.

It’s just different.
