This has nothing to do with Amazon or co-mingled inventory, and everything to do with shitty customers. Non-Amazon sellers would have the exact same issue. At least with Amazon, I have regress as a customer and know that things will be made right regardless of the circumstances of the sale.

There's plenty of ammo to use if you want to take potshots at Amazon, but this isn't one of them.
Another horror story - I heard that a trick some software copy-protection (DRM) used back on the IBM PC is disabling the DRAM refresh interrupt. Every time you trigger the protection, you computer just crashes randomly.
I see this more for entertainment on public transportation, waiting rooms, etc. for short 10-20 minute spurts. Holding your phone in front of your face is similarly uncomfortable, but we all do it.
Yep. The US did the exact same thing. Protecting local industry with trade barriers until they were ready to compete internationally. Countries that freely open their borders gets crushed by international corporations.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Probably you could tell from the tone of my comment, but I don't like the movie the way it is. I agree with you that the movie and the book work well together but I wish the movie worked as a standalone piece of art.

I think Kubrick and Clarke could have perhaps found a compromise. For example, I remember liking the ending part of the movie "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" by Spielberg which had a similar situation to the last sequence in 2001. I don't recall if that movie had any explicit explanation of what the beings at the end were but it was pretty clear who they were and what they were doing from the way the movie handled things.
I believe it’s the story games that fit under “living” definition of the article - you merge the story experience into your life, making it richer. But online/MOBAs are more of a waste, at least for me.
You are right that this makes a difference. I think the difference might be relatively small though. At best the experience can be comparable to having read a great fiction book (Disco Elysium, Life is Strange) or a good social experience like playing with your friends online while using voice chat. Online games with total strangers can be challenging and fun, but also a blur. I've spent way too much time playing Rocket League for example and my experience in hindsight would have been the same off I had only played for like 5-10 hours. And then there are pretend-work games like Factorio, Kerbal Space Program or even more obvious Zachtronic games like Shenzhen IO. The latter might be great exercise for non-programmers, but you don't actually accomplish anything and still exhausted the same parts of your brain.
I've been building tooling to mitigate supply chain attacks like these. Packj [1] analyzes Python/NPM packages for risky code and attributes such as Network/File permissions, expired email domains, etc. Auditing hundreds of direct/transitive dependencies manually is impractical, but Packj can quickly point out access to sensitive files (e.g., SSH keys), spawning shell, data exfiltration, etc. We found a bunch of malicious packages on PyPI using the tool, which have now been taken down; a few are listed here https://packj.dev/malware

1. https://github.com/ossillate-inc/packj
That's not going to stop people from trying though. If people keep abusing the package managers like this, then publishing open source code is at risk of ending up like distributing binaries on Windows, where you need to fight dozens of virus scanners arbitrarily blocking your code for no apparent reason. Imagine opening a tab in VSCode only to see a popup warning saying it might be harmful, even though you just wrote it yourself.
I've always exclusively used Macs with multiple monitors (I even used to take them in my Computer Science classes more than a decade ago and use the monitors in the CS labs) and never had any issues.

Currently, I have a 27inch iMac 2020 with a BENQ monitor (whilst I await for my new M1 Macbook Pro to be shipped) and works flawlessly.

I even have my PS5 on my desk plugged into the monitor and can switch between the sources and experience no glitches.

I'm not sure what could be the cause of your issues but I don't think it's macs. Perhaps something else is going on with your setup?
I remember the seti one. Probably dedicated a decade of idle cpu usage to it.
That’s exactly what Japan, Singapore and the rest of Asia did. It worked.

Among other things: "In Python 3.11, the core modules essential for Python startup are “frozen”. This means that their code objects (and bytecode) are statically allocated by the interpreter."

Very nice.
Maybe they were corrupted over the years. They open, but there are a bunch of trash characters, some real text in the middle, but it seems like some is missing.
Mailinator addresses, and other "disposable" email service addresses, are often rejected by sites that ask for an email address to create an account.

There's sort of a race condition between how quickly new "anonymous" email services appear and how quickly they are banned by other sites.
Android runs a linux kernel under the hood, so it seems hard to make the argument that it is a bigger software project.

As for windows, I'm fairly certain that more devices run the linux kernel than Windows as well.
Most successful US industries from defence to medical science to the internet was fully bootstrap funded by the US government. The same goes for the most successful industries in other countries. Without governmental “meddling” rich countries would not be rich.
Hold up. Hold up. Man. Man. I don’t... I don’t know what to say after reading your comment.
That's what the article says yes.
If you want to shoot for big stuff, it will never be as safe as right now. Assuming you have no spouse or children, you should be able to drop your living expenses to near zero in a pinch, should things go poorly. So it's almost all upward potential.

Having said that, you might want to build your business after hours until it's off the ground. Gives you lots of time to not be dependent on it so you're not getting desperate while trying to sell.
>> It's not inflation alone that is the problem with housing. It's housing being seen as an investment. People discourage new builds or high-density due to trying to preserve their existing asset value.

You're right that the issue is multi-factor, but i'd argue that the factor at play in the past two decades specifically was ZIRP+QE. That is the new factor at play.

Houses being seen as an investment has been an issue for a long time, I remember even in the 80s this was a big topic of discussion. Same for NIMBYism -- that has been an issue ever since forever (step into any home owner's shoes -- once you've put all your life savings into a house, most people dont want to dilute value.) I'll agree that the more leveraged you are to finally purchase a home, the more vehement the NIMBYism is...because now more housing is ruinous to existing owners' giant investment. The whole system is @#%!@#%

I think ZIRP/QE made things worse because houses started going up in value faster than incomes. This encouraged yet more leverage and lesser house. And now we're all left with a shell of the dreams our grandparents enjoyed with normal jobs.

My reply was addressed at your original unedited "(2015)" comment.
A wall of text, ignoring that C# developers do have to use C++/WinRT, as not everything is exposed. I guess WinDev is too busy writing IDLs with notepad like tooling.

It is a toy when PAYING customers have to deal with that crap tooling versus C++/CX.

And all the Rust stuff is not "hard at work" as suggested by OP, when it is a small subset of Visual Studio has in the box for .NET languages and C++.
Bringing a language whose community growth mindshare teeters on a university license into the kernel would be more destructive than bringing back BitKeeper, but more slow, subtle, and thorough.
> Do you think it was a warning, in the same way as 1984? [...] Their vision of utopia is our dystopia.

I think it was a neutral thought experiment, and you're free to make your own interpretation, it's neither an utopia nor a dystopia.

> It is as much a thought experiment as it is an invitation to advance the state of "Everything as a Service" rent-seeking among those in power

I don't disagree here.
I just meant the article is referring to the whole expense of buying, I hope the costs after being paid off never reach the cost of rental.
Offering rewards in advance is not the same psychologically as receiving surprise rewards because of work already done.

Also while I'm familiar with the debate around incentives for blood donations that particular paper you have cited is terrible.

Notably they do a literature review where they find discussions about how it could theoretically undermine motivations, but don't address the counter-argument they mention themselves where they list example of rewards being used to successfully increase supply! They list studies where it both decreased and increased supply, which seems to indicate that the type of incentive and the conditions in which it was offered make a significant difference.

They end up arguing that there are risks that incentivized donors come from groups of higher risk of infectious blood diseases. This may or may not true, but is a different argument to if incentives work.
Of course there has always been non-mainstream opinions; however most of those were found in corners and not amplified and stoked.

The media stokes discord and amplifies the existing discord. If you look at the news one might think most downtown respond to national events like downtown Portland does. Most do not. People have their opinions and are apprehensive about things and are concerned but most people aren't about to create destruction.
I think all of these question might be answerd by traditional libel and defamation laws rather than right to be forgotten.

In Germany it seems that your hypothetical rape victim could go to jail:

> Criminal Code (StGB) - Section 186 - Defamation

> Anyone who asserts or disseminates a fact in relation to another which is likely to make him despicable or belittled in public opinion shall, unless this fact is demonstrably true, be punished with imprisonment for up to one year or with a fine and, if the act is committed publicly, in a meeting or by disseminating content (Section 11 (3)) is punishable by imprisonment for up to two years or a fine.

Source: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__186.html (through Google Translate)

In Brazil it isn't much different:

> Slander (pt: _calúnia_)

> Article 138 - Defaming someone, falsly attributing them a fact defined as a crime:

> Punishment - imprisonment of six months to two years and a fine.

> Paragraph 1 - Whoever propagates or divulges such attribution knowing its falseness shall be subject to the same punishment.

> Paragraph 2 - The defamation of the dead is punishable.

> Paragraph 3 - Exception of Truth - Proving the truth of the attribution is admited as a defense, except:

> I - If the offend person's conviction isn't unappealable if the crime of the attribution can only be charged by private action.

> II - If the fact if attributed to any of the people listed on item I of article 141. [these are basically civil authorities and the elderly]

> III - If the accused was absolved through an unappealable decision, even if the crime can be charged by public action.

Source: http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/decreto-lei/del2848comp... (my translation)

Note that "public action" means that the government can file the criminal charges even without the victims consent and "private action" means that the victim or their family has the sole power to charge the accused and has to the work of prosection. The "public action through represenation" is the case when the goverment does the prosecution but only at the victim's request.

Note that these laws are probably full of complicated jurisprudence creating exceptions for cases of public relevance and for "desabafo" (venting).

Yep. There's definitely some value in having a shared cultural context, and we're losing that.
Defederalizing won’t work, for three reasons:
- the red state/blue state divide isn’t actually real. What we have is a rural/urban divide, and the red/blue state phenomenon is just an artifact of that and whichever faction happens to be larger in a particular area.
- Defederalization doesn’t fix human rights violations when there’s disagreement on what counts as a “human right”, which is the case for a lot of our divisions.
- the reason the United States doesn’t have its own version of the Greek debt crisis is huge, permanents fiscal transfers from blue states to red ones. This wouldn’t work under defederalization and a bunch of red states would go bankrupt.
.ini configparser worked fine for decades, especially as a simple project config.
Dave Ramsey changed my parents life too!

If only they’d saved with that money instead paid it as interest on the boat they never used anyhow
Perhaps you misinterpreted my reply. I didn’t intend to dispute parent’s claim, merely to correct a mechanical detail.

Git signatures are more or less only as secure as SHA-1, although the properties it relies on are not yet compromised and several factors mitigate the real-world risk.

A practical preimage attack on SHA-1 would seriously undermine the security of git signatures since the string being signed includes two or more SHA-1 hashes representing a content snapshot and the commit ancestry. Arbitrary preimage attacks would make it possible to modify a repo’s contents or history without invalidating oids or signatures.

In practice only collision attacks have been found, all of which have a detectable signature that git has been modified to detect.

We tried to hire senior devs to do DevOps work, but the ones that can pass the interview and have already been at a DevOps shop are too smart to be fooled a second time.

We still use all the DevOps buzzword stacks, but we stopped doing dev ops. Instead, we are building out a really good ops team. This makes it possible to hire developers again.

Personally, I'm one of the better ops people on the developer side of the fence, but I'd need at least 2x typical principle engineer comp to take another job at a DevOps shop, and also wouldn't get even a quarter of my normal productivity.

At that point, you may as well just hire a junior undergrad graduate and burn the rest of your cash.
Mocking itself was its whole point.
Those specific ones perhaps, but I worked in a library for a year and there is so much variety in every section that I think it's much more long-tailed/"fractured" than the media everyone else is talking about. That was my point: Even when stuff is fractured, there are standouts that manage to become hits, and it even happened without the reach of the internet. My examples were some of them from that era.
The problem is not solvable. OP has been directly linking his real name to his username for years on the internet. This isn't a Batman movie, there is no "Clean Slate" program that can wipe all memory of you from public records.

That's true: inland, away from the marine influence, it's pretty hot. Even in the Bay Area, Antioch is way hotter than Mountain View.

How often do you wish you could easily commit parts of what's changed? Or more specifically, how often do you use git add -i or git add -p to stage (and then commit) partial changes? You can argue you've never done that and therefore don't need it, but that's something Magit makes easy and you end up using it quite frequently, if you bother to learn it.
I’m not a baseball fan, but this seems like the type of thing that could be good to sneak the game in when a person is dragged to a function they don’t want to be at. The typical radio + earbud in all the sitcoms is fine, but being able to quickly check out your wrist to see a play, or replay seems like it would make it a lot better, while still being discrete.
From article :-

"Boeing's troubled 737 MAX planes — which have twice crashed, killing 346 people — have experienced at least six mid-air emergencies and dozens of groundings in the year after an extensive probe cleared them to fly.

The incidents, pulled from US government air safety databases, are among more than 60 mid-flight problems reported by pilots in the 12 months after the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recertified the plane's airworthiness in late 2020.

Former employees of both Boeing and the FAA characterised the reports — which included engine shutdowns and pilots losing partial control of the plane — as serious and with the potential to end in tragedy."

Spotify is doing this for me with their algorithms and playlists. I assume they're based on "other people that listen to this, also listen to this other thing".
With the power of the iphone's main chip, Apple could come out with more auxiliary devices. An AR headset that utilizes your iphone for all the processing. It's kind of how carplay/Android auto works.
"Cursus"?
One reason is that you often don't need to use locks. Between lines containing await (or async for or async with), you can be sure that this task won't be pre-empted to run another async task.

Another reason, if you're using the Trio async library, is that managing and cancelling multiple tasks is really easy, and you can be sure that none get lost. This update to Python brings some of that to core asyncio (but I'll stick with Trio for now, thanks).
I started making a checklist of things that worried me so I can offload end feeling of forgetting to do something critical and no longer have these worrisome thoughts cause I can simply tell myself, stick to the checklist it’s all accounted for. Try it out!

“Spontaneous abortion was found to be: i) the predominant outcome of fertilization and ii) a natural and inevitable part of human reproduction at all ages.”

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/372193v1

Admittedly, most of those wouldn’t be classified as miscarriages because many fertilized ova don’t implant, and many more are lost as part of what the woman will consider a “regular” period: the blastocyst being so undeveloped that its loss isn’t noticeable.

Still, most fertilization never make it to term, regardless of access to healthcare services.
Typeclass instances themselves can do delegation because they have inheritance (or something very similar to it). The relationship between Monoid and Semigroup is very much like OO subclassing. I'm talking about doing delegation for regular values, not typeclass instances.

This reminds me of the sadly defunct Automaten (http://www.automatenbar.de/) in Berlin from the early 2000s.

This was a members-only club (I think it was like 10 euro per year) that was a hacker and party space, accessible only if you had a mag-strip card, and completely hidden in plain sight.

Inside was a number of pre-euro vending machines (automats) that required you to use Automarken (not coincidentally the same size and weight as the Deutschmark coin). Inside the automats, apart from snacks and drinks, were an eclectic mix of handmade items that you could buy - a bit like a physical Etsy.
Not that pen plotting and image vectorization isn’t cool, but where is the AI?
Nope you asserted, I asked for clarifications.
The author must have missed the part of the Unicode spec where it ascribes dozens of properties to code points: it assigns them a general category (e.g. control character, lower case letter, punctuation, and more), a case mapping (if applicable), a numeric value (if applicable) and the kind of number it is (ordinal or otherwise), the script they are typically written in, and many more.

I think the confusion with Unicode is that programmers apply their non-technical preconception of what a "character" is rather than understanding the Unicode definition. Unicode defines a character as a representation of something - maybe it represents a line break (control character), a letter, an ideographic, a combining mark, or something else. A "code point" is just a number that a character is assigned for numerical representation in memory. A "grapheme cluster" is what a user perceives as a character - it's how non-programmers see text. What needs to happen is programmers need to hammer in their heads the Unicode definition of "character" just like they relearned to count from zero.
