My neighborhood was built starting around 2005-2006. Then during 2008-ish building paused for a bit, then resumed around 2012, then paused again around 2014, then resumed around 2018. It's now complete. There's lots of new single-family home neighborhoods being built in my town, afaict none of them have HOAs.
Eh, maybe. They'd have to handwave a lot about how technology advanced so quickly. The Laconians having much better technology than everyone else is critical.
One thing I hope for is that API access comes with the following agreement:

1) Use of APIs means an App must be listed on the App Store or be used the regular way. You want location data? Sure but in exchange, I want to see an App Store listing along with the Data Privacy Report. You want access to NFC but you’re a bank? Sure but your cards must also be available to be added directly without an app. You’re free to create another version of your app and list that on another App Store , but I want a version that adheres to the App Store rules.
Maybe Apple will lift some of the App Store restrictions for Europe in order to reduce the need for sideloading. They certainly don’t want their customers to become used to sideloading all the time and stop primarily using the App Store.
NIST is going the proper route to ensure that any standards they publish can be freely implemented without implementers having to pay patent royalties. That's the reason for your second quote - if KYBER patent holders don't want to agree, they should know that NIST won't choose them for the standard.
And heat pump efficiency takes a dump when it has to go through defrost cycles in heating mode at near/below freezing temps.

In cooling mode they provide a source of fresh-distilled water! It always bothered me when air conditioners just dump that water down the sanitary drain instead of pumping it in a garden or misting it on the outside coils.
I'm not sure whether you actually think this is good or bad but honestly I bet it would actually be a net positive, in a "if everybody's a pornstar, nobody is" kind of way. If you can generate nsfw video from a picture of a face with the press of a button, it will probably cease to be a thing that matters to anybody within a generation or two, in the same way we think about Photoshop today. It might be a bit of an awkward transition though since it definitely offends most modern people's sensibilities.

Lets be real though, it's the anime-style generation models that are going to be the pioneers in this field.
Yes! Dieter Rams came up with those 10 principles, but I doubt he still listens to music with the wall-mounted reel-to-reel tape player he designed (though it's still beautiful).

In fact, the reel-to-reel probably felt dated within much less than 10 years.

The classic danger here is that it's very easy to accidentally overfit. What people tend to do when they get a perfectly good actuarial model and then hear that they can "enrich" it with additional data is that they start modeling noise. This is obviously not good to stay profitable as an insurance firm.
Why? eBPF is usually compiled at runtime (so there’s no binary to sign) and running it inside your kernel requires root.
"there's not wildly successful books with wildly successful movies about the amazing empires that ruled the African continent"

I guess that's the interesting problem the studios and equality advocates should try to solve. To me, what they're doing right now is close to an insult to the african-american community. It's like saying "there are really no original cultural production coming from your community, nor anything remotely interesting in your past writing about, so we'll have to recycle ours to make some room".

On my RHEL systems:

-f / --force : "Force immediate halt, power-off, or reboot. When specified once, this results in an immediate but clean shutdown by the system manager. When specified twice, this results in an immediate shutdown without contacting the system manager."

"...all processes will be killed forcibly and all file systems are unmounted or remounted read-only. This is hence a drastic but relatively safe option to request an immediate reboot. If --force is specified twice for these operations, they will be executed immediately without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. Warning: specifying --force twice with any of these operations might result in data loss."
Or is there a bias that harder cases end up on robots, so they even “equal outcomes” is a big win for that cohort?
Yes, this is very much true, thank you for the feedback. Investment bankers come in all shapes and sizes and a bad one can actually sink a perfectly good deal. I've seen this up close recently and it isn't pretty (incredible, really).

Trying to unmount a manually mounted network drive after already taking down the network... very frustrating. Seeing the time remaining counter jump from 30 seconds to 2+ minutes after the first 30 seconds passes is rage inducing. Do I really need to read the jargon dense documentation for a damn init system to get my computer to behave in a sensible way? Thanks Lennart.
>> In the US, a ruling like this(ironic to say right now) is so much more ironclad than a law is in general, if people are going to come after it.

> This was overturned no? So is this now also more ironclad?

Roe v. Wade was basically a backdoor constitutional amendment where seven judges bypassed the actual process for amending the constitution (and also ran ahead of the legislatures in all but a handful of states). The recent Dobbs opinion just nullifies that amendment.

A lot of people seem to think that, since the constitution is so hard to amend through the prescribed process, they should be able to use the courts to get the amendments they want. The problem with that is that it explicitly politicized the court, burning up its legitimacy in the process. We're seeing the later stages of that (the next step is something to undermine the court's independence, like court packing or mass impeachment). It also foolishly relied on a fantasy that only one side could abuse the court in this way, and the other side would forever remain helpless.

To be perfectly fair here, you're responding as if "productivity" means "Code" and that's not exactly true.

For the overwhelming majority of people: coding is not productivity.

What is? Checking email, jotting down notes, recording meetings and transcribing/dictating them, joining meetings and having reliable video/audio.

Being able to respond to an email with a little drawing is _absolutely_ a killer feature for productivity, having a little 10" portable device which can perch on a desk and allow you the full gammut of features for a _good_ meeting is also pretty damn awesome.

One could argue that these have some moderate competence at artistic creation machines (photos, videos, drawing, some combination), but I'm not creative so I'm not sure how competent these devices realistically are.

I wont comment much on the statement you can't actually code on an iPad, technically you can; gitpods, code-server, coder.com, (and if you work at google CitC) means you already have everything you need. These work with safari; because those features Chrome demands we have are not actually needed for such tasks.

There needs to be sunset provisions in laws by default that force them to be re-examined on a regular (3 year? 5 year?) basis showing the impact. The onus should be on the government to show that their laws operated as intended or they should be removed by default.
> Zig has no concept of a string - it’s just a slice of bytes. This also means Zig has no support for ... regex

I used to think the same thing but it makes sense that for a finite state machine, the matcher doesn't need to work with validated strings at all.

You should read the first 2 paragraphs of burntsushi's (wrote rust regex implementation and a lot more) doc comment here: https://docs.rs/bstr/latest/bstr/#when-should-i-use-byte-str...
Key part here is "are finalizing". It's still possible for at least some of the deals to fall through. I guess NTRU is the backup plan just in case and/or a method to apply pressure by saying the public is now aware there's a plan B. I exüect this passage to imply at least one negotiation has been going poorly.

It would probably be interesting to look up who of these people also has patents outside of the USA. If there really is someone being particularly stubborn, one might reasonably expect them to enforce the non-US patent variant outside of the USA.

> It's been 11 years since the last ASOIAF novel. I think GRRM may have written himself into a corner and is unsure how to tie up all the threads and satisfactorily end the series.

A much simpler explanation is that GOT show creators/owners paid him off not to publish the newer books, until they consider the market life of the TV show exhausted.

Unless GRRM is struggling with mental health issues, it doesn't take 11 years to finish a book. Heck, it's his series anyway. If he has trouble wrapping up all his plotlines, he can always write an 8th book to extend the story.
I think of mindfulness in the following way. I don't consider it a meditation. You can meditate on how to be mindful or how you could have been more mindful in a past circumstance, but that is different. Meditation is actively thinking on how to do something, training yourself to do something you ought to be doing. Mindfulness is maintaining a state of mind at all times.

I think of mindfulness as developing as complete an awareness as possible of the present without any past biases or perceptions affecting you. This is done to respond to the present situation you are facing more effectively. Too often, we associate a past experience with current experience, and react to the current experience as if it should play out in the same manner as the past experience had played out. We do this because we lose all situational awareness because the bond we have to this past connection is too strong. Mindfulness is intended to understand the present situation, what your possible present responses are, and to evaluate them to determine what to do this time around. The technique is effective because the situation is oftentimes more significant than our past experience even if we didn't realize it.
Does the Yield Curve Forecast Recession?

In theory you're not wrong, of course, but in practice "just eat salad instead of a pizza" is so simplified it's not even useful. And I can't even comprehend what's the "damn good compromise" you referred to.

You can eliminate the daily cravings with this change of habits, but you can't change the caveman psychological reaction to eating a pizza. It will always taste much better and yield way more dopamine than a green salad ever will. Much like an ex-smoker and cigarettes.
I agree fully, though I’d like to add a layer of nuance.

The best engineering leaders I’ve encountered have been hands-off (as you said, at a certain point it’s nigh impossible to scale otherwise) However, they’ve uniformly retained engineering mindsets, and have great spidey senses for when things are being overengineered, or when complexity is being underestimated, and much more. They all have also demonstrated the ability to drill in deep when the situation arises, and tend to have strong understanding of high level architectures and systems. I’ve had “pure people managers” who were non-technical and ended up having myriad weaknesses. The opposite has been even worse. But the best know exactly when and how to put on both their people and technical hats.
I don't blame you personally, because it was inevitable, but this marks the beginning of the end of the internet as we know it.

I've just noticed, your https://api.daspoll.com/api/get-user-by-email/ endpoint is not secured, probably other too.
Also I would stick to camelCase in your api, it makes things more intuitive.
You should use client and server side validation, you can easily bypass the required attribute on the survey name.
Creating accounts without verifying the email is really bad.
Android is too fragmented to having any pushing power for one company (other than Google and even Google’s pushing power is low but that’s due to a different matter). The experience too fragment , the API’s too fragmented. iPhone’s unified experience makes it easier for pushing power to come to play. If Facebook leaves the App Store and opens a new one and uses the epic games strategy to pull in developers, users will go there privacy be dammed. Privacy regulations should have came out before this.
Different species can also interbreed in the natural world. E.g. wolves and coyotes regularly produce fertile offspring (most often via dogs since wolves and coyotes mate at different times), grizzle bear and polar bear likewise (will happen more often as polar bears migrate south from the melting ice caps). Even humans interbred in the history of our species with different species of humans (most notably Neanderthals).

I think the both terms are correct, but I like races better because species also includes every lifeform which can never be characters, like ravens, wargs or even tobacco plants.
that's but the article also says "he had to retake several courses." It's no fun "retaking classes."

Yea, I was talking about about the hyperbolic nonsense that we've saw for years, things that were not based in reality, but complete media created perception. But you make a compelling counter with Jan 6th and righteous fear.

> Professional ethics are a thing. "I was just following orders" not a valid excuse.

Let's unpack this one for a second.

First, the idea of dark patterns in UI/UX is a relatively new concept, so the ethics are naturally going to get muddy. So pretending to be handy wavy about "just be ethical" is not fair to UX/UI people.

Let's take an example dark pattern of "are you sure you want to cancel" taking 3 modals to complete. Each modal tells you something about the app that you may not have. The UX'r does an A/B test and finds that only 23% finish cancelling after implementation of the 3-step modal. So to one user this is a nuisance having jump through 3 modals, but to another user they learned on modal #2 about a product feature they didn't know was possible and decided not to cancel.

Is the UX'r morally wrong for putting in the 3-modal even though in one case it was a nuisance and in another it was beneficial?

It depends on the app, but in some cases you should also include content identifier to the usual X,Y coordinates, as from the user perspective it is more important to see the cursor hovering on top of something instead of being "very close". The meaning is different in such case.
Let me sketch a scenario for you. Your grandmother receives an email from a trustworthy-sounding man who asks her to follow these easy steps to get a free app. Granny taps "Allow third-party app stores" and then installs whatever garbage the fraudster is hoping she will install.

Multiply this by tens of thousands of vulnerable users and you have the makings of a significant problem that will cost society a lot of money and lead to much misery.

With the locked-down Apple app store, it's very difficult for granny to install malware even if the trustworthy-sounding man in her inbox is being "helpful". But as soon as you allow a switch of any kind, it will be exploited.

I don’t live in Quebec, and I’m also an immigrant to Canada. I’m looking at Bill 21 and seeing a legislature that does not understand secularity or religion. I’m looking at Bill 96 and seeing a legislature that is making hard decisions and getting them wrong.

It is very clear that the Quebec legislative assembly knew that both Bill 21 and Bill 96 were undemocratic and wrong-headed from the beginning, since they preemptively invoked the notwithstanding clause to override charter rights (which they knew that both bills would walk all over).

Not all of 96 is bad. I sympathize with the need to protect the French language and am not against legislative measures to do so. (The decision against Villeneuve’s restaurant "New Town" years ago was just silly, though.)

However, there are clear negative messages being passed by other parts of 96 which make it extremely xenophobic (just like 21), such as ending services for new immigrants in any language other than French after six months.

With respect to history…Toronto was not the preeminent city in Canada. That was Montréal, until the first referendum. Tens of thousands of anglophones left their homes in Quebec as they no longer felt welcome, and numerous businesses shifted their base of operations from Montréal to Toronto, and Toronto has benefited ever since.

In recent years, Montréal has attracted a number of companies back to the point where I have worked with (as a vendor) a couple of companies that closed secondary headquarters in majority English Canada and forced their employees to move to Quebec in order to remain employed. I am hearing that some of those employees are now feeling (once again) unwelcome in Quebec, and those companies may be reconsidering their headquarters in Quebec because of the lack of consideration for charter rights by the current government.

I love Quebec. I think that much should be done to protect the French language there. But I don’t think that preemptively violating charter rights is the right way to do it.

We are an Apple devices outfit, and 3/5 employees use Apple's native clients for 99% of our emailing... but having a lightning-fast, modern web client with all of the features being discussed in this thread and others will be great for the 2 employees that prefer the browser and for the unique cases when we all need to log in on public devices.

That’s true, although solar heating in warm climates can be mitigated in some ways (roof color, attic structure/ventilation) and solar heating in cold climates is tough with a layer of snow on the roof. Bottom line is that there are many variables but a big delta tends to be energy intensive to overcome.
