There are various reasons for Instagram to ban your account, which is usually when you break the rules of the platform. We will discuss the most apparent violations of Instagram’s rules below.

1. Mass Following, Unfollowing, Liking, or Commenting

Instagram punishes those who are trying to quickly grow their account, usually with an Action Block at first. Instagram goes after all accounts who are using mass following, unfollowing, liking or commenting to grow their account. They will block you if you do this with third-party promotion tools, but also if you do it manually. And while Instagram doesn’t have set limits for this (classic Instagram), you need to pay attention to the following numbers.

Maximum number of likes per hour: 60;
Maximum number of comments per hour: 60;
Maximum number of follows per hour: 60;
Maximum number of messages per hour: 60.

But if your account is fairly new, the limits are different:

Maximum number of likes per hour: 30;
Maximum number of comments per hour: 30;
Maximum number of follows/unfollows per hour: 30.

2. Buying Followers and Likes

For the same reason named above, buying followers and likes from third-party promotion tools will also result in a Ban from Instagram.

3. Buying Someone’s Account

Buying someone else’s account and treating it as your own is also deemed illegal according to Instagram’s rulebook. When making your account, you agree you will not sell, transfer, license, or assign your account, followers, username, or any account rights.”

4. Duplicate Spam Comments and DMs

Unwanted comments and DMs that are commercial or harassing are also prohibited by Instagram. This is oftentimes sending a duplicate message over and over again.

5. Sexual or Inappropriate Content

Posting sexual or inappropriate content is not allowed by Instagram and can result in a Ban for your account.

6. Copyright Infringement

Like sexual or inappropriate content, posting content of which the copyright is owned by someone else, will also result in a Ban. Copyright infringement is a grey area for Instagram as they usually only Ban accounts after they get reported by the copyright owner.

It’s often thought that if you ask for permission from the creator and post it with credit to them, you are doing it rightfully. However, Instagram does not care if you have asked permission of the copyright holders. If the copyright holders decide to report your post, after all, you will still get banned.

7. Banned Hashtags

According to Instagram’s Guidelines, a good part of hashtags are banned for use within the app, for quite obvious reasons. However, you need to be careful with using hashtags, as using these banned hashtags can result in a Ban.

8. User Complaints

Of course, any user complaint to your content will be taken seriously by Instagram and can result in a Ban for your account. People can report your content very easily, so you should be careful to not offend anyone with your content. It could easily leave you empty-handed.
Some advice from the dark ages 20 years ago:

I learned a big part from 'An introduction to Database Systems' from C.J.Date. The core understanding of relational databases is in there. It was at the time a book that needed cleaning up and reorganizing, but a few editions have passed by now, so maybe that has happened.

I also learned a lot of Tom Kyte's Expert 1 on 1. Beware: A huge tome, not only good for swatting flies, it can manage small rodents as well. I had the first or second edition which is probably pretty dated by now, but it is a good book to pick up the DBA attitude and learn advanced querying. If you use it as inspiration and not as a reference, it will probably still work.

Even if the 2nd book is about Oracle, I would suggest to start learning postgres, it is a cleaner, better structured database today.
You can also get a canvas to draw like butter these days. Gaming monitor refresh rate territory. With proper use of requestAnimationFrame I see 144 fps on my PC.

That is why unmanned platforms are really important military development.
> people who have prefers-reduced-motion enabled most likely don't want animating reaction images (they're a perfect example of the sort of motion that this setting is supposed to suppress).

I don't want AUTO-animating images. That's a crucial distinction. I still want to be able to see the animation, if desired. It should be under user control.

Reduced motion is not the kind of thing you can trivially turn off and on. You have to go layers deep into settings to find and change it. This is why click to play is the correct answer here.
I thought it was better to keep it 100% charged anyway?
"children's media is overrun with radical propaganda now"

Fuckin snowflake nazis.
I went the other way, working full time at night when I was a teenager through high school. I got out of cooking when I was in my mid-20s (mid/late-90s) because of a health issue and pursued computer science (was programming as a hobby). The pay is significantly better and I don't have to work evenings and weekends.
Enlightened centrism take: both are equally shit. Go back to ~~monke~~ regular html.
Gibson can be... flexible with history in interviews. Especially when it's a good PR blurb. E.g. the typewriter story that far outlived reality.

The truth when he says "I didn't know anything about computers" is probably more akin to "I didn't personally use computers. I did conduct deep and comprehensive research on their characteristics and use by others."

When he was blogging for All Tomorrow's Parties, the amount of esoterica and research he apparently read every day was staggering.
Parsing a WebAssembly Binary with Kaitai Struct
Interesting that the moveable type era lasted 900 years; the linotype era 100 years, and the paper cut-and-paste era maybe only 20.
The initial question (how would you create a form for handling creating multiple dependent resources without using js) - is inherently about various types of state - and if/how to share them between the client and the server.

As I mentioned, I think complex business flows like these can be a great reason to go from "web page" to "web app" - precisely because it enables rich, ephemeral client state with (some) business rules close to the client.

But that doesn't mean you can't do powerful things with just html/http and some form of continuations etc on the back-end.
Sure, the battery degrades once its voltage drops to low or rises too high. But it also degrades from charge/discharge cycles. And without the ability to turn the device off the battery loses power even more quickly, either causing more charge/discharge cycles or bringing the battery quicker into the unhealthy zone.
"Risk" is incredibly broad.

The linked article seems quite focused on disaster risk, which in terms of its increase is mostly climate-related.

The perceived reduction in progress over decades may have more to do with societal changes in individual risk perception. For example, we were more comfortable with people dying in the name of progress in 1880-1950.
Conceptually loops are a very special case of recursion, and are mostly popular in languages that make some 'interesting' trade-offs in their implementation of function calls.

(Stacks are an implementation detail. Only some languages implement function calls with stacks.)

Sounds painful. I remember I did have to field questions from management on why one teams velocity wasn't "as good" as another's. They seemed to think it was some kind of globally objective measure rather than something particular to each team and their estimations.

For quickly writing a parser that doesn't necessarily have to have the highest performance, parser generator libraries are another neat possibility beyond rolling your own parser from scratch or using a generator.
You write well. Very inspiring.
We were promised the roaring ‘20s. Instead the party’s over, every tech company is pulling back plans and preparing for a multi-year recession.

The tone of these emails is odd to me. Dara is not stupid, he must know that Uber is bloated and over-engineered. If there is a long recession affecting their business, they will inevitably have to trim some of this fat. Surely _that_ is what was discussed with investors.
Python actually has built in support for multisets, you use a set of frozensets

>>> a = set( (frozenset((1,2)), frozenset((3,4)) ) )

>>> frozenset((2,1)) in a

True
The technology isn't the difficult part though. Will miners replace PoW with PoS? What will they do with all the GPUs and cheap access to electricity they've invested millions or billions in? The social aspects transition will be immensely more difficult than the technological aspects.

But I do hope that, somehow, all those miners will just... accept the move to PoS and turn off their mining farms. I just don't see it as extremely likely.
> Please read a book called "Leviathan" [1] by Thomas Hobbes and maybe a little of Jean Jacques Rousseau's "The Social Contract" [2] to balance it up.

The fact that you can bring up two books to support your opinion doesn't mean I agree with it. They are pretty much classics and anybody who was interested in philosophy would have already been familiar with it.

> Yes. Because we are all responsible. But guess what, you'd be sharing the job with 7 billion other people, so the total workload would be like 5 minutes on a Thursday morning every other month. Could you spare that?

You can't do serious politics spending 5 minutes on Thursday morning every other month. It takes me more time to plan my night commute back home on a Friday night.
Maybe that's a security feature, as you probably don't want the lithium battery to explode near your head.
What works for me: prototyping tables in Excel.

Which is a grandiose way of saying: sketching them!

Show a few rows for Table A, and how they connect to rows in Table B. Connect keys using colour coding, e.g. Table A's PK, and its FK in Table B, are both a certain shade of blue.

This can quickly yield a sense of whether the model "feels right". Are copies of data showing up? Are there any situations which can't be represented? What happens over time - if a row in Table A gets replaced/superseded, how does that affect other tables?

Side benefit - knowledge sharing. It's a nice medium for sharing with team mates and other colleagues for a really rapid share of info and design.
Hey! I'm looking more for a report on the Chrome extensions that are installed on my browser. For instance, https://isapplesiliconready.com/ reports whether an individual macOS application works for Apple silicon chips.

Reduce corruption maybe?

In slovenia (back then yugoslavia), in the 1970/80s with all the communist bullshit and bureaucracy we built one in 6-7 years, and it still works.
>The UN isn't perfect but it sure as hell better than no communication between countries at all.

False equivalence, a typical error to defend something bad that it is in fact better than null, like we wouldnt have intercommunication without such a bureaucratic money sink

>Elon Musk is insignificant compared to that,

He writes, in a thread where the UN asks Elon for more money

>egomaniac entrepreneur"

Jealousy is such a pathethic feeling - Tolstoy

>Does it occurs to you that some problems can't be solved but only mitigated ?

Wrong again, world hunger can and will be solved, but not by the UN.

> it's like saying covid lockdowns

No proven effect to date

Amazing you managed to squeeze this many errors into one post.

>The UN have done more to the world than Musk or any other single individual will ever do

What has the UN done beside spending money ineffectively? Musk, and other does and practicioners as opposed to bureaucrats, has done far more for mankind than the UN.

>What do you imagine ? The UN work for 15 years, solve all of the world problems and retire ?

I would imagine that they would be more proffessional than claiming they could solve world hunger with 6 billion extra in a world of trillions for charity.
It felt quite outdated to me. I tried reading it quite a few years ago as a student, but gave up on the books old-fashioned ideas.

The book is very imperative and doesn't really know much about modern abstractions for data structures.

Something like https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_... is probably more fun for a beginner these days. (Languages in the ML family are really well suited to writing parsers, interpreters and compilers. That what that family of languages was designed for.)
Sure, but the point is that you can keep making these things and people will keep buying them, so "noone wants another e-waste" is clearly not true. Discussions about "the market", its effects on the environment, etc. are all important and worth having, but don't really have much bearing on whether or not "people want another e-waste".
I never changed from being a webmaster to being something else. For the last 15 years I still manage my own servers, I still design my own websites, I still do most things myself when it comes to building/managing a website.

And the fact that everything is SaaS now, well, that just gives me motivation to keep it that way.

Easy for me to say, of course, since I grew up back then and was fortunate to have the experience of the pre-modernization of the Internet. Good times.
What do you believe web3 is?
Debuggex looks interesting. I've never seen regex library/tool before which shows the mismatching location in the input string. I wonder how one could do the same with python/javascript or other programming languages?
Ukraine is one missed harvest. The article opened up with that as a motivating example, for some reason.

increasing the amount of land used for farming does not have an impact on its own unless you're deforesting, I guess. but dumping significant amounts of water and fertilizer and pesticide will have an ecological impact, esp on downstream water or maybe drying up the aquafors. So, organic seeks to reduce that impact by zeroing those contributing factors (except water!) This is not unclear, you're trying to slam dunk, I think.

Less environmental impact = not as much, say, nitrate runoff, algae toxicity downstream, collateral insect kill off, and so on. On a per-extra-food-unit compared to current baseline (remember we're measuring only new hectares in my example)

loss can be 50% and still world food production goes up b/c we're adding hectares. And if organic holds to its claims, we're doing so with less net impact on a per hectacre basis.

Anyway, that's one hope of organic farming - its part of a responsible portfolio of cleaner food management that doesn't have unilateral decrees about practices (like TFA does).

I'm more in tune with Precision Agriculture, which is a saner, 80/20 solution that has yet to prove itself on a worldwide scale.
Often they're "completely ignoring" the Eastern tradition as well. Meditation in a strict sense is not even that widespread in Eastern practice; it's generally practiced by monks, or perhaps by laity on a rare, focused spiritual retreat - so quite similar to mystical contemplative prayer in the West.
It is not just about informing people, but also automation of many things. It is certainly more powerful transformation than invention of steam engine. It has transformed industry and agriculture on a similar scale, enabling many things that were not possible before, but it also transformed our society, changing the ways we communicate, learn, entertain and find partners.
What's "Big Carb"? Even everything you've derided as "experimental food" is mainly fats and proteins, not carbohydrates?
When I was a younger developer, knowledge of SQL and how your database processed data was an expectation of everyone around me in the field.

The older I get and end up around younger developers, I find that this has become a rare superpower. These days, if I’m consulting on a problem for somebody I can almost assume that it’s a database problem. Either needs to be tuned, indexes are missing, data has been corrupted or duplicated due to lack of constraints, excessive single writes or any number of other issues.

I never thought something that was always a required skill set to suddenly become rare and shocking.
I too would not encourage any beginner to read this book.
I think we, collectively, should strive for avoiding making other people's life stressful.

Just by having a different role, title or label attached to you can be pretty stressful by itself, specially if you are out numbered and decision making is done by number of hands.

The majority not always get that. Also is so common to be exposed to other people's frustration when explaining things, or denying a request, balancing between letting someone shoot their own feet, explaining once again why that is not a good idea, or just restoring a backup later.

I for one have had enough and hopefully, in future projects, I can posit to just write basic HTML / CSS, maybe some JS, and not pull in everything else.

That said, I've been in the Go ecosystem for a while and while the language itself is fine, it's the associated mindset and catchy oneliners that have been more valuable to me as a developer.
I completely agree, seeing bad behavior happening frequently on the streets, I just realized that governments just chose to ignore those and not enforce law. There are some extreme, like SF of course. But I feel like this is a tendency among many places around Europe. And this saddens me, when did society decide that laws are not to be applied?

I am not saying I would like to be a subsistence farmer, but I would give up a lot of things to own a house. And I mean actually own it, not a mortgage.
We do not in fact have global anarchy in any significant part of the world. That's not what anarchy means. You're thinking of rampant cleptocracies and oligarchies. Anarchy is the absence of hierarchies, not just "the government is dysfunctional or extremely corrupt".

> I shall use this post as ammunition next time I am arguing with our stupid design team

So many red flags here.
It stimulates leisure thoughts about what a "cyberspace" can be.

Directly, it is the sea: the kybernetes traditionally guides a ship.

The direct descendant, recognizable in sound, of kybernan is "govern", and the "space for governing" can be anything, any metaphor from the mind to the house to the world.

In the sense after Norbert Wiener, it is the space where feedback is key to orienting behavior - and, again, it could be everything (and, in satiric terms, nothing).
How should I interpret this statement from this article:

> In an academic study from MIT and Melbourne Business School, researchers decided to test the accuracy of third-party marketing data. So, how accurate is gender targeting? It’s accurate 42.3% of the time.

If this statement is correct, does it mean that gender targeting is worse-than-chance? I am willing to believe that the data is poor, but find it had to believe that it is THAT poor. Am I misunderstanding something?
You might be thinking of the PET killer poke?
Unfortunately go’s defer statement is function scopes so it is very easy to not unlock a mutex at the intended place.
> Both bathroom and kitchens scales are large enough they can run on AA / AAA batteries and casually go a decade (or more) without replacement.

For bathroom scales, sometimes the design doesn't permit batteries larger than button cells, since the entire scale is a piece of tempered glass with four 1/4" tall feet and a lighted LCD display that shines through the glass. I like this particular design because it's thin enough to fit under a door as it swings. Batteries in my scale last over a year with near-daily use, and mine has a very bright display.
seems like our situation. Though the head honchos have also imposed SAFE (scaled "agile" framework), so we get an even bigger waterfall with all teams together every 4 months, which takes each time two weeks (one week preparation + one week of meetings)
I kind of appreciate the signal: When someone chooses to blog on twitter you know it's facile at best, and more likely simply stupid (as in this case).
I have the same headphones and that is not the only quirk thats driving me nuts.
It doesn't remember the last noise canceling setting i used. I almost always use them at home so i don't need NC but every time I turn them on its in NC Mode and I have to press the button twice.
This is called Common Knowledge in game theory:

Common knowledge is a special kind of knowledge for a group of agents. There is common knowledge of p in a group of agents G when all the agents in G know p, they all know that they know p, they all know that they all know that they know p, and so on ad infinitum. It can be denoted as {\displaystyle C_{G}p}.
Some of my favorite GoldenEye multiplayer glitches/tips off the top of my head, which were all fair game at my house:

- Pressing A + B activated a remote mine without switching to the watch

- If you put remote/proximity mines on ammo boxes, then picked up the ammo, the mine’s sprite would disappear when the ammo box respawned, but the mine would still actually be there

- Placing remote/proximity mines in the spawn locations

- If you already had full body armor and couldn’t pick up another, the best move was to blow it up so no one else could grab it for awhile

- The Magnum could shoot through various surfaces that other guns couldn’t (like the grates in front of the hiding spots in the Complex)

- Some of the guns could “shoot through” opening doors before they were actually open in the Temple

It's even worse; it went from static sites (html) to dynamic sites (Wordpress, PHP) to webapps, and now back to static sites but built using the tools to make webapps with. Apple wanted to make web technology the one for iOS but quickly realized it wasn't fast enough, so they spent time developing a really good native platform, but now it's boomeranging back to webapps, or adding layers on top of the native layers to stay in that web app comfort zone (react native, flutter, etc). It's refusing to use the path of least resistance because of perceived benefits, or something. Same with desktop apps that now all have to be web technology for some reason.
Well, ultimately I'd like our data custodians to be able to manage the solution themselves. Our dev contingent is tiny, so in a perfect world, I'd love for the analysts to own the solution.
It's not a matter of broken risk perception but a matter of thirst for power by some who tried to push the accelerator and optimism feeling invincible to bend the society to their desire.

I call that the classic fallacy of the building contractor who think it's mix of quick actions and tolerance in the tech can do anything and scale to any level. The opposite effect of analyze-paralyze.

Beside that, the recent autarkic drive fueled much by the neoliberals need of overturn the table to remain in power against emerging powers that in the end use the same techniques in slightly different sauces BUT do have industries and/or natural resources the west have lost, is not a reversal of globalization is just the need for another cyclic world war to reset an unsustainable system avoid being rightly annihilated by a mass of angry people, the need for resource and the global exchange system is still the same. For anybody.
