I feel like I'd remember the bit where they withold security updates after a few years, and they say the plan that allows security updates to keep working is new.

Either way, it's pretty crappy of them. Would love to know of an alternative that will last longer than the first set of (replacable!) batteries.

To some extent. There are some relatively narrow passages that have to carry extreme amounts of water, mostly in the south of the country where the river banks are steep. As soon as the river breaks out of that limited area it will flood the surrounding countryside which isn't all that well prepared.

You could see this during the flooding that destroyed those houses in Germany, it didn't go much better in NL, but fortunately on a smaller scale.

Still, you are right that 'upstream' this problem can get much worse due to terrain geometry and lack of preparation, as well as building into areas that really belong to the river.
During the pandemic some product person drastically increased the number of ads and began ruining videos with ads in the middle of the videos. Music sets get screwed up and the crappy AI likes to pause jokes right before the punch line and then resume a second or two after.

At this point any video I imagine myself ever watching more than once gets downloaded with yt-dlp and automatically loaded into Plex. I had one negative experience with an artist deleting a popular video years ago, but that short term profit seeking is what pushed me to finally get everything all setup.

Now there are no ads.
This boils down to "eat the rich" at the end.

> I can't see any good reason to let any individual claim ownership over more than a billion dollars of assets—even $100M is pushing it. Can you?

If they got their wealth "fair and square" within the systems of rules that we all are subject to I feel it would be wrong to just take their assets by changing the rules and taxing it away (or whatever form it takes.)

> And when one person holds the purse-strings, we lose [accountability].

I didn't get that amount of variations the OP sees so far, but I've been wondering if the number of ads you get and the distribution of skippable vs unskippable ads is somehow personalized.

At least my subjective impression is that when I go on a youtube binge, over time it will slowly increase the number of ads it shows back-to-back and also increases the amount of nonskippable ads.

I wonder if there is some kind of reinforcement learning going on, which tries to figure out just how many ads I'm willing to tolerate before switching away. (Or employ the good old "boiling frogs" strategy and train me to tolerate more ads over time)

I got no evidence for this at all of course, so just a conspiracy theory for now.
I was an unashamed screen-looker in the Goldeneye days, and got no end to the raft of shit I got from my friends over it.

As luck would have it, those skills were a great advantage when playing games like Halo LAN parties where I was sharing the screen with my allies rather than enemies. A quick glance and I could gauge their location, situation, and how best to help them out.
Was this before or after Deepwater Horizon? From what I understand, there was open disdain for proper processes.
there is no doubt that government employees can innovate. Anyone can innovate. Provided with the correct competitive structure (large market rewards, big prizes, etc).

And yet, the F150 was built by capitalists, the sprayers are built with capitalists. The chemicals were built by capitalists.

so yes some problems are best solved by government, but innovation isnt one of them.

I completely agree. In my early agile training, the instructor stated it was good for developing where requirements were unclear or responding to small feature requests quickly, due to the fast iterative approach with feedback.

He also said that agile was not a substitute for planning.

I guess those lessons weren't learned by everyone...
I forgot about the Paranormal encounters, those were top notch
Right, and these words are basically wrong. It doesn't matter how big GWP is comparing to a persons' resources, it's the application of these resources, which often can't be done on government level - they are largely for different things, can't risk that much, in practice aren't very efficient etc.

Of course there are also arguments to the contrary - e.g. Apollo project was rather effective, large military operations like working during WW2 shows government can actually be quite efficient etc. That doesn't matter though, we only need to point to an example - let it be SpaceX - when a billionaire shows better results than the government.

Special Kid to Super Kid: Overcoming Learning Disability, Language Delay
I agree. The problem I think is a lot of the discussion is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Specifically, the baby being a reasonable level of equality that gives everyone a chance to do well, and the bath water being the reality thar people still do badly regardless, and many supposedly ‘good enough’ opportunities are actually just well disguised shittiness/scams. Like poorly run school districts in many areas, which tend to correlate with a lot of minorities.
Cheaper to use a drone for spotting instead of a FIST unit. That's what's working for the UA.

Kamikaze drones have a role for the smaller units, but at the battalion level, it's better to use a surveillance drone to coordinate fires from mortars, MLRS and artillery. The rounds fired from these systems typically have longer range than a drone, a higher rate of fire, and larger warheads.

Calibri has a reasonably large character set and is relatively "compact" in terms of optical size/metric. Not trying to say it's the best typeface for any given application but if you want something metric compatible, with a large character set, your options are somewhat limited (or have been until relatively recently). Many typefaces that are functionally similar in character representation, etc. are more open and take up more space.
> "We decided to keep the uppercase menus because we want more energy in this part of the interface."

It always seems to be new-age mumbo jumbo with these sort of design people. Design needs to be given back over to the engineers again. I know that suggesting is going to draw ridicule; it's easy and popular to point to the worst engineer-designed interfaces to ridicule the design abilities of all engineers. But form needs to be balanced with function and these artsy new-age designers who justify everything they do with faux-poetic metaphors have been a disaster. There needs to be balance.

Engineers can be taught the pragmatic virtue of interfaces designed for common people. Using standardized widgets and guidelines, engineers are perfectly capable of creating interfaces that are intuitive to users, even if they don't satisfy the dedicated designer's sense of aesthetics. Just look at the GUI libraries from the 90s and compare it with the dumpster fire of modern interfaces. In the 90s an engineer designing an interface would use a button widget and the button would look like a button. Today designers make everything look sleek and special to leave their artistic mark and I am left with no fucking clue what I can even click.
I worked on the Preview app for a number of years during a time when the app more or less flew under the radar. It was easy then to simply add features that "we" wanted as users of the app.

At that time, the design team was less interested in Preview, more interested in Mail and Safari (of course). Design would come in and maybe tell us to put the thumbnail drawer on the right vs. the left.

Honestly, I think the design team found Preview useful as well and didn't stand in our way when we wanted to add "instant alpha" or simple annotations.....

Compilers aspire to be something like a total function. Define you inputs and outputs and you are "forced" into a correct implementation.

You very much are a Communist, your denials notwithstanding. Communism is a theoretical stateless anarchy, which means it is, in theory, libertarian socialism.

It is also the most destructive ideology in history, that has created the most totalitarian states that man has been subjected to.

Those who believe in your ideology will always side with anti-libertarians, and advocate centralization of power to stifle the individual, because Communism deems man, in his natural state, as evil, and glorifies efforts to stifle him as good.

>>I do believe that voluntary contracts can be exploitative (because they can by definition),

By definition, they cannot. If both parties choose to engage in the trade, no one was exploited. Marxism claims otherwise, in order to villify a free society and those who champion it, and legitimize anti-libertarian ideologies like Communism.

>>I was thinking more unionisation, social-democratic movements

You framed it as death camp supporting fascists versus your political camp, implying libertarians are in the former, and now you take issue with me calling your camp Communists.

Yeah why don't you head to the southeast the next time they have a flood event and tell them that they need to keep all that water and also they can't have anymore produce from west of the rockies.

It's hard to take you seriously when you suggest we're going to drain the great lakes. Do you think the only supply of freshwater the west could tap is the great lakes?

The breadbasket of the US, the great plains, is also prone to water insecurity. This isn't just about the west. Climate change will bring unpredictable change and we need a way to move water around. You never know, you could be living under a drought in 20 years. Will you still fight water redistribution then?
Yeah it's interesting considering he cited individuals like Xi and Putin who essentially are the government of their respective countries getting horrible value for their wealth. And it's not just limited to dictatorships; the US didn't get shit for the $2 trillion it spent on the Afghan wars, and still lingers behind some smaller countries in QoL. While it's nice to extoll of efficiencies of scale, it's hard to say they work in practice. Maybe it would be a better idea to say any entity shouldn't have control over X amount of assets, whether individual, corporation, or government.
It's fun to think about different ways to play chess. Point- and deck-build systems are pretty interesting.

I also like explosion mechanics, like your for example you could say that any one piece can keep moving (or move up to N times) as long as it keeps capturing. Similar to exploding dice, where after rolling 6 on a d6 you can roll again and add to your total, rerolling as long as you roll 6 again.

Another one that could be interesting is a motivational or morale advantage, where let's say that if you capture an opponent's piece, another one of your pieces gets a free move (due to high morale on your side).

I'll also confess that I enjoy turning chess into a dice-based war game at times :-)

Nice idea for a post.

I suggest that if you have a server attached to it, to monitor it through a dashboard like Grafana. You can also set up monitoring alerts from there too.

I made a programming language when I was younger... on a Commodore+4, believe it or not. The gist of it was that it was basically a 6502 macro assembler, but had pseudo-ops for 16 bit math & logic operations, and basic control structures (if/then, do/loop/exit, etc.).

It also had a structured way to define variables and new opcodes (subroutines). It actually seemed to be a productive language that allowed you to transition from low-level to high-level programming pretty well. It didn't insulate you from needing to know details of the CPU, but that's really necessary for any sort of performant computing.

I stopped working on it when I released I was basically reinventing Forth.
I have a corollary: that these on and off switches should not require "an app".

> I'd never quite reached the point of thinking it was a deliberate action

I always thought these aid and loan programs through organizations like IMF, WP, and countries require return on their investment beyond interest on principal.

This is why they include clauses related to education, democratic participation, financial and taxation reforms, etc as a condition of receiving the aid.

You can be less cynical and think they are advocating for reforms which make these countries grow and pay back the loan otherwise they might default.

You can be more cynical and think many of these policies are detached from what is needed on ground looking at impact.

For example, opening a particular industry or providing consumable aid often distort local markets and might impact local businesses and exports through currency manipulation.

Maybe you believe onerous regulation and compliance of first world without the enforcement budget and low corruption make these places less attractive for businesses. Introducing those as condition of receiving aid might be net negative in the long run.

It all depends on how you view with your lens.

Although countries who are receiving aid like this have no choice in the matter. They are desperate for cash. Power imbalance exist and can be abused.
Gotcha, reasons make sense and thanks for the reply!

Yes, that rotates your view of every page in the document. It can't rotate a page independently and even if you wanted to rotate every page you can't save the change back to the PDF file because it's functionally "rotate view" even though they hadn't renamed it that yet in 2020.

Which machines?

The medical device? They didn't, WannaCry would spread over the LAN to the systems silently then when the vendor came to do maintenance on a system or an upgrade they would become a transport vector between sites.

Generic? Because limiting college computers to only be able to work on what you can type into each one you visit makes them relatively useless and creates a much larger burden than managing security.
Exactly the same as Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, everyone eventually faces some defeat and decides they are old enough that it is time to resign.
Tackling a new language over BEAM and integrating with Erlang is as big as Clojure with JVM - The thing is that Elixir used to be more erlang-y than it is now and does a decent job hiding the hardcore functional/process comm/OTP plumbing. I don't see our team writing too much Erlang but we know that a full distributed Elixir production setup will incur the same operational load as in Erlang. W.r.t documentation, I found Francesco Cesare book (and the original Erlang programming book by Joe Armstrong) pretty good to help where the doc was too terse. Maybe you are looking for documentation on frameworks ? My main block was to be used to read http or database framework docs and jump straight into functional programming and pure language documentation... just an idea.
His new book Build was an excellent read. Highly recommend it, really picks up after Chapter 2 with lots of good advice and anecdotes. It also contextualized where our startup is for me and helped me visualize what to anticipate in the future really well.

Another great related feature is how easy it is to “print” to Preview

BTW, if you are trying to save a protected PDF from Adobe reader that won't let you save it in an unprotected format that's compatible with Preview, there is "print" document trick you can try since Adobe Reader blocks the system print dialog: pause the queue for your printer (if you don't have a printer, just "install" a network postscript printer), and print the document. The document is then saved to a non-secured temp PDF file in /var/spool/cups, to a filename starting with "d" (ls -l -t to find the most recent file). That file is normally deleted after being sent to the printer, but my pausing the print queue, the file is there long enough to copy somewhere. Rename the document, and you're good to go.

This is a trick from the Mac OS X Hints days, and still works, as of at least Catalina.
This looks pretty interesting! Really cool to see progress in this space!

Out of curiosity how do you deal with moving files in the file system?
Btw if here on HN, people engaged less in which framework is better and how to render a table with the flavor of the day JS framework.
