I don't understand this part of the sentence. Was a word accidentally deleted?
What are those specific skills? The links you gave don't seem to say anything about that
The issue here is systematically working against their own users interests.
Is SHA-1 being used in a security-critical way in git, though? I tend to agree with the points made towards the end of the article.

If someone malicious can make commits to your repo, you have a much worse problem than a possible hash collision.

Most languages these days have a built-in hashtable type, and they use some kind of non-security-critical hash function, albeit usually with a random seed, that's a lot weaker than SHA-1 - often you only need something like 32-64 bits of output in the first place as no-one allocates more than 2^64 buckets as far as I know. From a security perspective that's even worse than MD5!

I'd argue (and so does the article, in part) that the use of SHA-1 in git is closer to the use of a hash in a hashtable than to the use of a cryptographic checksum - using SHA-1 for subresource integrity on the web is an obvious security risk (luckily, it's not allowed there) but I can't see an obvious attack on git's use that doesn't also assume you can do much worse things.
Even on the cheap end of estimates at 250k/each, that's still 10 million in hardware alone, not to mention launch costs, opportunity cost of delaying operations, etc.

But really, that's neither here nor there, the point of the comment is that a combination of an unexpected solar storm and the operations procedures followed for dealing with them lead to a possibly unnecessary loss of satellites. Just because they have more doesn't mean they're happy about losing out on millions of dollars of hardware.
How’s it fake grassroots? It literally got started by a bunch of no name developers
Wouldn't this, if applied by default, complicate Zig's easy C interoperability? I don't quite see how plain C code could play well with this.
"Promises of crypto" have never been about being able to have reasonable regulations for crypto. In the opposite, heavy regulations were expected to be coming from the very early days.

Yes! It syncs to iCloud across all apple devices
Ah, this is a facepalm moment in that I had completely misread the initial comment not as being a comparison of JS/TS to python, but of JS to TS then a further comparison to python. Now it makes much more sense!
Especially cardio I will actually get faint if I don't keep up with food. On long bike rides I will eat two al pastor tacos every 20 miles from a stand or truck. A lot of those 10/25/50/100 mile charity bike rides have regular stops with peanut butter packets or beer too so riders can get liquid calories and carbs (and a buzz of course).
Safari iOS, nobody is talking about macos.

Edit: my bad. Well, I just want to be able to install another browser on the phone that I payed for.
The misplaced assertion, "(p)ut differently; there's reason to think that Mozilla would not have suffered layoffs if Apple were an ally of engine choice" just about tells you everything you need to know about this article (and I'm typing this via a Firefox session as it stands).

This here ^^. Too many fall in the trap of agiling themselves to death. Instead, find the right people with the right skills and dont force process. Communicate well and frequently and you’ve got yourself a well oiled team. Current client has successfully managed to daily, retro and refine themselves to a drop in productivity by at least 20%. My invoices are coming in nicely, despite wasting days on meetings that could have been an email or a short call with the relevant stakeholders, but i’ll fire the client first chance i find one that actually wants me to work and not play “fun” t-shirt planning pokers.
Sure. Problem kids with no exposure to risk have no sense of accomplishment, no sense of risk, nothing to help them grow up. Should we not let kids run, for fear they skin their knees? Not let them climb any structure/tree/building for fear they might fall? Not let them have matches? A knife?

Kids without exposure to risks and accomplishments grow up to be poor adults.
You know perfectly well that we don't have $394 million in cash!
Control Data Mainframes – An Interview with Kevin Jordan – M189 [video]

I don't think it's the era, more the lack of wealth/means. Parents back then couldn't afford to not let their kids be more self sufficient.

My partner is from rural Ireland, and grew up a 30 minute drive from the nearest doctor or A&E. They were fairly poor and only had one car, which her dad had at work during the day. Her mother was a stay at home mum. No mobiles existed, and there was no public transport except a bus every 2 hours with the bus stop a good 30 minute walk away from their house.

There was TV but only a couple of channels. No internet. No library. There was nothing for her to do growing up except roam the countryside and injure herself.
Her mum was a busy lady at home (duties of an Irish wife), so she was literally thrown outside in the mornings and told not to come home until dinner.

The stories she can tell about suffering broken or cracked bones and not going to hospital are horrifying to me. I mean I think unless she had been bleeding out they just sat tight. She has scars she doesn't know how she got.
In my experience both as a developer and later as a manager, learning "on the job" never led to a good outcome. The (implicit or explicit) deadline pressure always led to the most shallow comprehension, weak scrutiny of Googled code and 'first hit' adoption of libraries or other secondary assets, very slow error correction and a cascade of (I hate the term) "technical debt" (which in the same paradigm should be called "technical theft" as we all know no-one ever will "repay" it).
I think you have the same problem as car owners. Seeing these occasionally it isn't worth the trouble. Once a prevalence of a defect is popular enough (or barely popular but easy to locate) and indictive of a good bounty it makes more sense for some to drop universal attacks and focus on only these lower visibility/noise attacks.
Tell us about your expense manager?
I am trying few things like google sheet, form etc. Don't want any app to read my data.

Tell me something that can be built, any script that you might have.
But an ad hominem requires that the argument is thrown out solely based on the attack against the person. Laying out a logical argument against someone's belief, and then _additionally_ insulting him based on his beliefs is not an ad hominem.
But it's fine for google, m$?

I'm more concerned with the huge corporations. I think they are the worst.

Legislation like this actually creates a bar to smaller companies. The big corps are already in, aren't they just passing legislation to prevent competition?
Regarding the list of Version control; Testing; Deployment / continuous integration; Databases; and Log management and search:

If you are studying CS at college/uni, and you're not taught these things already, then definitely go study them in your free time - people in the real world use them, and it looks good if you've at least heard of the concepts in a job interview.

1Blocker works great for me. Even hides YouTube ads.
Yes, but did it change them?
Automated PDF Reports with Python
Riggghhhtttt.
I wanted to give the iPhone another try. But the web is just so so unusable. No way to install adblockers or real extensions in general. No push notifications. Just one single engine.
I thought I did. But I might not be fully awake yet.

I'll re-add this one to my reading list I guess.
Some of my friends went halfsies on an ad-free hulu account they share.

I don’t spend enough on amazon to have a prime account for myself, but am happy to pay for it since my close family members use it enough to make the subscription worthwhile. If they were to stop using it, or amazon limits the address they ship to, I would cancel.
When has that ever stopped a corporation from making a profit? If that were so, Coke would stop selling their wildly popular drink.
There are a lot of things that are missed by safari content blocker extensions, and it's been getting a lot worse recently. Many obvious ads are not blocked anymore. And I'm using adguard too.

You need the power of a rules engine like uBlock Origin, which is able to do multiple types of filtering, pre and post rendering. There is a reason why uBlock origin insists on that model, because no other model really effectively works.

Eventually although, if adblock becomes very universal, all ads are going to be served internally from the same url / server as the webpage itself, with line noise identifiers and your going to start needing ML content recognition to start blocking ads effectively again.
Take Git (and good commit practices) as an example: You can benefit in every job by knowing them better.
Mozilla’s has publicly stated in document to regulators that Apple’s browser engine ban delayed their entrance by 7 years and significantly impairs their ability to differentiate their browser. It’s not a stretch to tie that to the loss of market share on IOS and thus to their revenue.

If you think the assertion is misplaced you need explain why.
I don't think that's the issue in this case, though. This is about a more subtle issue.

From what I understand from the article, Harley and Westinghouse aren't stopping you from repairing your own stuff, it's just that doing so voids their warranty. Presumably on the logic that you may have made changes that they can't be expected to support, or inexpert repairs could have caused damage.

And there's some logic to that, but it ignores the fact that if the item is still under warranty, those independent repairs should have been done under warranty too. (I guess emergency repairs where the owner can't afford to wait for the official repairs are the primary reason for such repairs?) And also that such repairs could have been done expertly or have been very limited, so revoking warranty for them may still be unjustified.

But I'd say there's a bit of grey area here. I don't think you can expect manufacturers to clean up other people's mess for free under warranty.
Nice, now you and my mom think I’m cool!

But seriously I agree, glasses are amazing. We shouldn’t look at it like we have to wear them; it’s amazing that we get to at all. They’re a marvel. It’s not always great to wear something on your face, but it’s a small price to pay for what they make possible.
Voice Typing Changes Everything – So Much More Than Dictation
The general point seems to be that the Fed can only do 1 substantial thing for the economy, raise or lower interest rates. (yada yada quantitative easing, forward guidance)

And interest rates, devoid of any true monetary policy, creates a damned-if-you-do and dammed-if-you-don’t situation for the lower 90% of wealth owners.

The government wasted 10 years of free money by not investing in infrastructure and the clean energy transition. Instead we got 10 years of 1% loans to corporations and billionaires to do stock buybacks. The fed can only lead the horse to water, but if there is a filibuster the horse will never drink.

On a side note: it’s news to me that home values have plunged. A market softening for sure, but a plunge in sale prices? Not in my metro area. Plus a 20% plunge doesn’t mean much when home prices are up 20% yoy
I’m not sure that brand new devs who have trouble reading standard JSX, are exactly the target market for a bleeding edge project that combines two popular frameworks together.

I think the target market is experienced people who want to use both react and Django, and feel that this project saves time on conceiving and writing their own integration.
Except the software it’s powered by, Blazegraph, by is deprecated (afaict the devs were poached by AWS to work on Neptune).

“We estimate that the lac-phe pathway is responsible for about 25% of the anti-obesity effects of exercise,” Long said.

I find this article annoying. It should come as no surprise that there is a mechanism for suppressing appetite during physical activity. There is only so much blood to go around and both digestion and exercise place demands on the blood supply.

It would be a hardship to place both demands on the body at the same time consistently.
Which is why their strategy of overselling it and coercion was dangerous. People are left with less trust in governments, the media and healthcare professionals.
You can install Ad Blockers, I use 1Blocker on iOS. It’s not as powerful as uBlock Origin obviously, but it does a more than good enough job by making the web browsable again at least.
“Won’t it be better if we did that instead of this?”
“Do you think it would be better if we did that instead of this”
“I think it would be even better if we do this instead of that”

I usually use “we” instead of “you” in my code reviews, “we” feels more friendly and comforting and way less judgy.
I am no EU citizen, however live in Europe and do tech startups. I welcome GDPR as well as this ruling.

It's unethical IMO to send personal data to countries that have weak privacy laws without making it absolutely clear to the user. Which is rarely the case with GA right now.

I switched most my projects to shynet, for me personally that's more than enough information and I have zero worries about tracking and know that some users appreciate my approach.

Edit:// even before GDPR became a thing I worked with several companies who had strict rules about hosting in Europe or even more explicit not hosting in the US.
Does the company praise programmer A whose programs run without error, or programmer B whose code crashes in production at night, but the 'hero' (B) is coming in at midnight and fixes it?

A lot of management will praise B (good job, you saved our a..); creating a very very wrong perception.
Not sure what the logic is behind branding Mozilla/FF as somehow an enemy of the open web. If Apple hadn't repeatedly blocked the release of an actual Firefox for iOS you could maybe attempt to argue it, but it existed and Apple didn't allow its release.
Well, depends, fundamentally it's a paradox.

Either US company get's the data from the Italian one, making the Italian operation illegal in Italy

Or

The US company doesn't get the data from the Italian one (despite ownership), making the US company illegal in the US.

I don't think anyone is under the illusion that the latter option is chosen when push comes to shove.

Seconding 1Blocker. Well worth it.
This is very inspirational, it’s my dream to build a business like that.

It’s also great to see that it is still possible to build sustainable businesses without the more shady practices and growth hacking you often see, without millions of vc funding, without aggressive hiring. Just a small but strong team and a great product.

It looks like it was a long journey, I applaud the perseverance, and congratulate them on their well deserved success.
Cool but shouldn't this be fixed at the runtime level?
Push notifications have finally landed with iOS 16
The code above doesn't work because ASI insert semicolons in an unexpected place

More like someone didn’t read on how ASI works and has wrong expectations.

There are two ways of learning, each with its own benefits. One is to read carefully and note the common pitfalls to not step into these. Another is to skim through, get the intuition and address pitfalls later. What we see here is just that “address later” part. Which is not an issue on itself, cause that’s the way you chose to learn.

Since ASI is a part of the language everyone has to learn it, because now if you put a semicolon like this:

return
{
…
};

It still doesn’t do what an unaware person would expect.
The ad blockers in iOS work fine. I don’t want browser bloat on my iPhone. And I don’t want to be forced to install shitty chrome cos devs are like “oh we can’t make it work in safari”.

Until chrome stops being the IE of the early 2000s I don’t want other browsers on iOS.
> Most non-japanese cars turn into crap-boxes post 100k miles.

Citation needed.

>This means that an owner's experience will begin to substantially deteriorate at the 100k+ mile mark.

So no different than an ICE, supposedly. However, where the engine might need to be replaced at 100k miles for an ICE, the motor of an electric car is expected to go to at least a million miles before needing replacement.

>Electric cars being heavier, lead to (mass squared) faster road wear and road costs.

Heavier than what exactly? An average SUV weighs more than an average BEV.

>Their quietness, greater acceleration, greater momentum and worse braking distances will only lead to increased accidents.

Citation needed. Not everyone floors it all the time just because they can, and with regenerative braking, more people are probably going to be driving slower and coasting to a stop instead of the 'floor it and slam it' of ICE, but we're both just making stuff up at this point.

>Their range obsession means that EV hatchbacks are simply infeasible

Whose range obsession exactly? many people already own BEV and or hybrids, and they're fine with the range. They're already "feasible".

>I do not particularly like the Ford F150 lightning and Model X version of electric car revolution that we're seeing today.

Me either, but they're better than those 10/20mpg or less vehicles of the past, it would be nice if people didn't have to haul or tow things, but life is what it is.

>2nd order effects will cause more damage than good.

again, Citation needed.

Mind you, A was "If you love Tolkien, or if you love the Amazon series,"

That's not "absurd". And, given time, it's not "generally considered impossible" either, once the series is out and people have watched it.
We are in the "weak men create hard times" phase. Societies have their four seasons too.
I looked into this for the previous generation which had a similar confusing overlap.

In the end I got the Air but I believe there may have been screen differences that might matter to 'pro's in the digital media industry and more options for ram and disk uogrades.
Sadly VSync is not all upside and it increases input latency significantly, so it might be a deal breaker depending on what you play or just the person playing.
Despite their age GSync and FreeSync are not that ubiquitous yet.

I agree that for most single player games it is simply correct to enable it, but people often don't do it, because they paid lots of money for their gaming computers and want to see the FPS numbers go way up to justify their expense.
They are talking about Safari iOS.

I stream games from Gamepass semi-regularly (the Backbone One is excellent) on my iPhone 12 Mini
I don't throw much away.

The code that does get thrown away tends to be an entire project at a time(I love to replace things with off the shelf), or when I replace custom stuff with libraries.

I almost never write simple throwaway scripts(Less than once a month).

On personal projects I do find that 95% gets discarded right in the trash in short order, although I've gotten a lot better at deciding what will be worth building before actually building it.
One of the more frustrating parts of Safari is that it is tied to the OS version.

Besides the obvious security issues, it means a long(er) delay between a feature being available and supported by most users.

Even with iOS’s good update adoption it still needlessly handicaps developers.
I use a AdGuard Pro, StopTheMadness and a DDG for years now. I don’t miss anything as far as I know. You also have a choice of “different” browser that might offer more.
I think that there is some value in these platforms too.
They provide a service after all.
Given they are not regulated to death.
Residential is only 7% if you put the burden on the producer (agriculture) and not the consumer (people).
Every time that such numbers are shared, most people quickly jumps to "farmers should pay more attention / switch cultures". Very rarely someone will talk about the impacts: a change of diet for consumers, most likely with less meat (though depends on the area).
It is easy to assume that the water you consume only comes from the tap, but 1kg of beef meat costs 15,000 litres of water to produce [1]. Moreover, at a larger scale: "One third of this volume is for the beef cattle sector; another 19% for the dairy cattle sector." [1].
So instead of trying to find the scapegoat that supposedly consumes most of our water, we should all remember that we, meat eaters, are one of the main culprits here !

Holy crap, a mind of a child... glad you are around to tell the story!

As a kid, we climbed what we could and often jumped from it. Fire/maintenance ladders on school buildings that were 5+ meter tall. Once we were jumping from that roof, small idiots as we were, it was scary as hell. Or forming a long queue of kids who ran up to first story of a building, jumped from balcony on grass (solid 4 metres), got themselves together and ran up again. Group behavior certainly didn't help - if one mustered enough courage to do something, the temptation for the rest was massive.

My mind of adult doesn't comprehend how we survived all this without ending up on wheelchairs or dead. I was constantly bruised, my legs were khaki map of colors that would gain attention of social services today. I am not aware of any single serious injury to anybody I knew, although I had few broken bones over childhood, never from the most dangerous stuff. I recall few hard hits though, ie once falling from bike in frontal way that made me unconscious for few seconds. I just got up a bit dizzy, dusted myself, checked bleeding bruises and moved on.

When a kid died, it was always something else - ie being hit by a car for whatever reason for example.

As parent myself, I am not sure if we are more sensitive than our grandfathers were, their generation very visibly didn't communicate their emotions so openly (I discussed this with various europeans and americans and this experience seems universal), but I don't think they felt/cared less. Just whole mindset was different, where the threshold ok/wtf lies.
