Why would they hit 90%? I assume the way this would play out is that most people would stick with the stock browser because they don't even know/care about alternatives. The people that do care would likely install the same browser they use on desktop. I don't think Chrome owns 90% of desktop market share.
I've been having issues with my M1 Air and most recently my Studio. I've used a few different LG displays, and right now am using a usb c connected LG wide screen. The Studio is better than the Air, but it often fails to wake the monitor from sleep. Sometimes the power button on the monitor will help, but other times I have to unplug and replug.

One stupid workaround I've done is set a hot corner to "put display to sleep." Sometimes I hit my touch ID, and nothing happens, but I know the Studio is awake. If it's awake I can slide the mouse to the hot corner to sleep, then move it again and it will wake up the monitor.

I really don't understand why this is still an issue with these otherwise amazing machines.

A lot of these companies are great. Some are... doing just okay. The total funding number isnt all that helpful if its been raised over a very long period of time. Would be happy to give more insight into anyone targeting these companies in Chicago. Was a tech recruiter in Chicago for many years before becoming a dev.
> As a junior, you're just excited to be there, and gain experience.

For the first few months perhaps. Then a friend sends a pic of his setup and tells you that he will split a referral bonus with you if you apply. It took me 4 months to find my first dev job, once I hit the 6 month mark, jobs came to me in abundance.
Other thing is that in England, notably London, as well as in some continental European cities, house sparrows are now scarce where they used to be abundant, so if you live there you shouldn't be deterring them.

Yes, we are incorporating strace-based dynamic analysis (containerized) to collect system calls. However, Packj can currently flag use of getattr() API as it is equivalent to "runtime code generation" [1]; a developer can go and take a deeper look then.

Thanks for your comment. Please rest assured I am not abusing OOP, and am absolutely not contradicting myself by choosing C.
I agree with you. Both of those were a big deal given how little RAM was often available. Many systems measured in bytes!

On those, people writing programs was common.

Bigger systems, kilobytes and larger, saw the use of macro assemblers were far more common.

The first assembler I bought was a Macro assembler.

I do think a lot of it is driven by personality types, but I would attribute that more to personal need for close contact and socialization. I will never thrive in a remote environment- not because I can't manage focus or work asynchronously or anything, but because it makes me extremely depressed.

>Tor can make you stand out just by mere use of it

That's always a concern with obfuscation networks. But that concern decreases with the number of other users on the network. The more that people start to use Tor, the more it becomes socially excusable and the more the anonymity set grows.

Traffic goes in, traffic goes out. Few can connect the dots.

>Also you could hide in plain sight by using Safari on iOS with a generic mobile Internet IP

No, you really can't. There's no browser (other than Tor Browser) that I know of that takes sufficient anti-fingerprinting measures. Using safari/ios to "hide in plain sight" is a lot like trying to hide in a crowd in front of a security camera with a unique QR code tattooed to your forehead.

I'm not knowledgeable of Norway, but I know of Sweden and Finland as having quite a few Clojure opportunities. Now keep in mind, "quite a few" is relative to the entire Clojure job market, which is very tiny.
I agree with this philosophy for most games. I tend to play through them once and not revisit them once completed, so I try to experience as much of the game as possible on that first playthrough. (Up to a point anyway. Sometimes certain content e.g. gathering collectibles becomes boring or tedious. And sometimes I'm enjoying the content just fine, but feel the need to hurry up and finish the game so I can move on with my life.)

Needless to say, SMB isn't most games. It's the type of game you play again and again. And it does not natively include any game save or password system. The warp zones transform it from an hours-long marathon to something you can play through during an episode of your least-favorite Saturday cartoon.
I think some of the comments shed light on an interesting dichotomy I've noticed while talking to folk about K8s:

It seems that if you stick to simple configs, a setup hosted for you, etc, basically the happy path then people have had really good experiences with k8s. Those people can't understand how one could be inept enough _not_ to figure it out.

On the other hand, you'll also hear a lot of complaints about the difficulty of self-managed clusters, and attempting certain less popular or more complicated configs (or what have you). These people can't understand what benefit introducing such an insane amount of complexity could bring.

The second has mostly been my experience. I've tried now maybe a handful of times to create a cluster and get it running something on my home lab. At first I could rarely get it "up", but now I can usually get it to the point where I'd want to include storage or whatnot, and that's where I've been failing lately. Either way, I've never gotten it stable enough to warrant actual usage from me.

I like the idea of k8s; it seems like the natural next step of computing abstractions. I'm just not sure if "it's it", or if it's stable/reliable/evolved enough for people who don't need it now to invest in it yet.
I'd expect that an across-the-board increase in Amazon prices would be a side effect of unionization and wage increases, perhaps by 10%. I don't think that this would reduce consumer demand much, however, or make Amazon a non-viable concern.

Then I can't comment on this. I don't live in the US nor know what it is like.

I was responding to this from an 'EU' perspective. For the tech companies who do bussiness globally, my objection still stands. In the country I'm living in, the data collected to determine whether someone is pregnant or had an abortion, is data collected beyond what they should be collecting to provide their service.

I have no idea why a company who provides: email, vpn, search, etc... should be able to figure out users health data.
To me, having worked with OSS for multiple decades, but only ever having dipped my toe into the dev waters, the amount of forks happening seems ridiculous.

(1) the 'subdivision of the estates' problem that primogeniture solved for inheritance is very well and alive in OSS. If you fork a project often enough most forks will have such a thin developer base, they wither.

(2) this then channels quite a bit of development into projects that will soon die, thus effectively depriving the surviving versions of dev hours.

(3) it's ridiculously complicated for non-technical people to keep up with what project formed from what and which fork is the most current/secure/convenient/otherquality of the bunch.

I am genuinely asking, with all this being known, why hasn't there been a bigger push towards modularity. This was the idea of Unix pipes, and i don't see why it is a bad idea 40+ years later.

Have a 'Gecko' module, have an 'UI' module, have a 'telemetry' module, ..... this would allow people to build Firefox 'flavors' instead of forking everything. Everyone would contribute to the same project/ecosystem, users can discover the big project, and immediately download 'vanilla', but also get info on whatever flavors there are and in what way they differ? What is the real problem here?

> No, it should not have been valid UTF-8, and nothing that validates UTF-8 (which is the considerable majority of things these days, though certainly not all) will accept it.

Yes it should as those code points should have never been reserved. UTF-8 should only concern itself with encoding arbitrary 24-bit integers. And that those characters are reserved is also useful in practice because lots of things are encoded in UCS2 uhhm I mean "UTF-16" where unpaired surrogates are the reality. Hence: https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/

That UTF-16 can't represent those code points is UTF-16's problem and should have been solved by those clinging to their UCS2 codebases instead of being enshrined in Unicode. It would have certainly been possible to make a 16-bit Unicode encoding that is as much UCS2-compatible as UTF-16 is but can represent all code points.

Also, almost nothing should validate UTF-8.

> rapid tech advancements the past 50 years and we're still here

This is a tautology. At some point the music stops and you aren't here to make the argument that we are still here.
I believe we'll go back to trusting local experts that you can meet in person to confirm that they are not a bot.

Because anything online will be known to be untrustworthy. Most blogs, chat groups and social media posts will be spam bots. And it'll be impossible for the average person to tell the difference between chatting with a bot and chatting with a human. But humans crave social connections and intimate physical contact. So people will get used to the fact that whoever you meet online is likely fake and so they'll start meeting people in the real world again.

I also predict that some advanced AIs will be classified as drugs, because people get so hooked on them that it destroys their life. We've already banned abusive loot box gambling mechanics in some EU countries, and I think abusive AI systems are next. We'll probably also age-limit generative AI models like DALL-E, due to their ability to generate naughty and/or disturbing images.

But overall, I believe we will just starting to treat everything online as fake, except in the rare case that you message a person which you have previously met in real life (to confirm their human-ness).
> My personal Kubernetes nightmare is having to build a cluster from scratch on bare metal.

We have a bare-metal k8s cluster... In my opinion the thing we got right is to use external load-balancers (good old haproxy) to point at nginx-ingress-controllers (whose pods are pinned to two "service" nodes) and to load-balance the apiserver traffic.

Most other traffic is inter-cluster, and managed by calico anyway.
No but one could block it with basic auth. That is how I keep Discord and Valve crawlers off my links.

This doesn’t bother me that much because evidence isn’t required to convince millions of people that a lie is true. We already know this. Why make fake evidence that could be debunked when you can just have no evidence instead?

Those claims seem questionable. Even if true, is having the "right proportions of amino acids" at all desirable? Human digestive systems are pretty good at extracting what they want from our diet; we don't need to measure out precise proportions.

What evidence have you got that animal products are "easier to digest"?
One thing that these types of articles always miss is that HTTPs isn't just there to protect user data being submitted to your website. It's also there to make sure that the data you're looking at wasn't modified by a 3rd party without your consent.

The fact that someone technical has missed it this is a really good argument for redirecting users from HTTP to HTTPS.
Totally agree, and it's the kind of language that rings alarm bells for me especially when coming from a person with a manager role.

"Those who were followers; who lacked discipline, failed faster and more obviously."

Classifying one's reports into "top performers" and people who "lacked discipline" or "followers" betrays a categorical mindset very eager to bucket people rather than see the contradictions and subtleties of people's individual situations and work towards helping to resolve the difficulties, which is what leadership / management should be about.

EDIT to put it another way: good parenting (which I don't always practice, BTW) doesn't say "You're a bad boy", they say "You did a bad thing." Likewise when talking to oneself, it's really shitty to say "I'm a crappy X [engineer/painter/swimmer]".. it's far better to say "I did X poorly last time." A good engineering manager should help frame things this way, and shouldn't be saying "top performers" and "followers" but, instead: "people who performed well" and "people who tended to be behind or 'follow' in the last quarter" and help the latter identify how they can do the former (note: not be, but do).

We were in a global crisis. People were at home with their young kids, spouses, dogs, whatever distractions. Empathy and flexibility were required to make this work. "Failing" at work was probably the least of concerns for many people, given everything that was going on. I personally quit my job rather than deal with the guilt of having spent time getting my son to do his school work rather than triaging bug tickets. Others could not afford to do so.

If you trust a person (or source) and they have a private key that they can properly secure, they could always sign their material with that key. That would prove that the source provided that material.

A blockchain could be a way to store and publish that signature & hash.

It can't say "this is real", it can only say "that signature belongs to source X".
Writing Is a Recent Technology
It has always surprised me that Chicago's tech scene never really took off. I recently left (for a tech job), and it saddened me - Chicago is the best city in the world from June-Sep.

I really wonder why tech doesn't thrive there. Common diagnoses (crime, taxes, regulation) all undoubtedly make an impact - but none are as bad as SF/NY. And frankly, crime and taxes aren't really as bad as the news make them seem.

Meanwhile, it has 3 top-20 tech universities, major employers, huge population, low COL, and so many things to do.

What gives?

Meta-analyses are not a panacea, that's clear.
As I suspect you know well, two further meta-analysis came to the same conclusion: Chowdhury 2014 [0], De Souza 2015 [1].
More recently, Kang in 2018 [2] and Zhu in 2019 are also stating that they fail to find evidence of a clear association between SFA consumption and risk of CVD.

Obviously, as science is what it is (and that's a good thing), those study are debatable and do have weak spots.

OwoifyJS: Turn any string into nonsensical babyspeak
You might be (very) interested in this project then: https://deepkit.io/

The guy behind it made a PR to typescript proposing runtime availability of types[0], got rejected, and got going on it by himself. And he already has PoC libraries with the (early) equivalents of Pydantic/FastAPI/SQLModel (using runtime types for (de)serialization).

I really hope this experiment works out and that it gains traction, because it's a massive value add to TS IMO.

Doubtful! Truly doubtful.
Even better. they take Y & <some other condition that is almost always true> expecting that condition to be false only when Y==0, but it appears to be false whenever the lowest bit of Y is 0, which means for any even numbered vertical position. Fantastic!

Here Y is the vertical position of Mario (0--> on top of the level). So, one bug is: there was supposed to be a scroll stop unless Mario was on top of the level. Because you can scroll the screen while not on top of the level produces the -1 level bug where you scroll Mario through to the warp zone with some junk in a certain memory location.

The memory location is corrupted because they set a boolean flag with an increment operation, which of course causes an overflow instead of setting a zero to a 1. (EDIT: I misunderstood this point, see discussion below)
If you're playing for score (which doesn't mean much in SMB, but it's there if you want to), you'd want to play through all the levels.

Simple trick to reduce your peak electricity usage if you’re working from home and want it cool all day: set your AC low until it starts to get hot out and then turn it off. Works great if your insulation is good enough.

Not only do you only consume off-peak kWh, you also cool your home more efficiently because the AC coil temperature is lower and the AC doesn’t have to move heat across as large of a temperature difference.
