One aspect of net neutrality that doesn't make sense to me is the ban to throttle traffic. It's bandwidth over some time period and higher peak loads does cost more.

A simple example is how on airplanes, WiFi doesn't support streaming video, etc. but allows text messaging. So would this bill make that illegal? If so, that wouldn't make video streaming on planes come sooner, just make plane WiFi more expensive.
I guess the solution would be to use labels in a colour that works for both.
It's not correlated with updates.

Ironically Samsung Health used to have a little "Ad" banner at the top but after some update that is gone now.
ClarisWorks was the first “Office” suite I used, and I still have fond memories of it. So thank you, too :)
> I'd expect Ireland to rank higher because all the large US companies have their EU offices there. At least on paper for tax purposes.

Aren't US companies incorporated in Ireland and Luxembourg basically paying no taxes?

Does it matter if it’s run twice? Usually it’s so fast you hardly even notice it.

If your pre-commit takes more than 3 seconds to run it’s set up incorrectly IMO, and should belong to a more manually (and CI of course) invoked test suite instead.
You can't make all graphics canvas based. Too much of a performance hog. It's not ready because who wants constantly spinning fans. No, reducing FPS is not enough because it makes things choppy
Because the hardware can handle updates to the OS, and as the ecosystem evolves, apps start misbehaving or not even functioning on older versions of the OS. And then you've got vulnerabilities.
No.

As per the latest USDA report [1]:

- total area planted with corn: 90.7 million acres
- total production 14.1 billion bushels
- out of which 5.0 billion bushels used for ethanol

The don't give the exact area used for ethanol production, but making the reasonable assumption that the yield per acre is constant (it's probably not, but it's also probably not that far off), you get 5.0/ 14.1 x 90.7 = 32.2 million acres.

Article also says twice the size of Germany's and than valuation was 'only' 450 billion in 2018.

So my guess is that this is because London is both a major financial centre and a fintech hub.

"engineers" are considered the top of the pile: as long as they're not talking salaries...

I switched to not working for french companies for that very reason. Engineer, loads of experience, low salary compared to the UK or US.

I know you could put a price on the "french social privilege", but I didn't benefit from it the least bit (no kids, working) so I was better off without it.
Drivers and support for the features that require said drivers, as its often the case that only first party software has the secret sauce - very often the case for camera apps.
Yes. That's why I would expect Ireland to have more valuable tech companies than the UK.
France is the last country in the West I would hire in. A decent place to conduct business but the worst place to hire labor.

There's also the matter of how funding is made available and the appetite for risk. From what I've seen and been told, the situation in Europe (including the UK) is vastly different to that in the US, where risk-taking is almost seen as a virtue. Meanwhile in Europe, a lot of money comes from family generational wealth and they only want sure bets. For example, friends in the UK have had more luck raising from US VCs than UK ones.

Sorry but this is just silly.

If you have an egg and butter on hand and the mental and physical capacity to tie your shoes you can absolutely learn how to make a basic scrambled egg in 5 minutes. Crack whisk pour flip eat.

If I’m a novice cook and your pitch is that it’ll take me weeks for your app to get me able to make a scrambled egg or avocado toast (mash spread salt done) I’m probably just going to give up.
It's both. I like a story to go somewhere, to have a point. I want it to at least be possible to figure out what the fuck is going on, even if it requires some effort and isn't obvious on a first reading (or viewing in the case of movies). In fact, the best stories are the ones where you have to do some work (The Godfather is my poster child). But if I put in the work, I want it to at least be possible that I could figure it out.

LOTR is mostly like that. Most of the events make sense in the context of the overall arc of the narrative. If you ask, "Why is this scene here?" there is usually an answer.

Except Tom. He appears, puts on the ring, fails to disappear -- which is quite extraordinary! --- and that's it. The end. Toodle-oo. Vanishes entirely from the story without so much as a by-your-leave. Why was he introduced? To this day I have no idea. And that is why Tom bothers me particularly. With Lynch you know what you're getting. Tom seems like a bit of a bait-and-switch.
But doesn't work with sunglasses.
Even talking about mechanical engineers, they're paid poorly. The average is like $40-50k USD atm. There's a reason inequality is lower in these countries than the US, because high-skilled workers are paid much less.
For some perspective, 800 million acres is about 1.25 million square miles, or approximately 1/3 of the land area of the forty eight contiguous states. 900 million acres is approximately the amount of agricultural land in the US. If this estimate were true and would provide meat for the entire world, I think we'd be okay spacewise.
After reading the submission title I tried to think of a UK tech company and honestly couldn’t come up with even a single name…
I wouldn't say that a lot of banks left the UK... "they moved the minimum they had to (not necessarily to Germany) in order to meet regulations and be able to continue operating in the EU" seems a more accurate summary.

London is still the European financial centre and a hot hub for fintech.
Knew it. The CHIPS act is just a handout to Intel investors. I'm an Intel shareholder but even I would disagree with the direction. All money should be spent on fabs, not increasing dividends when your cash flow is decreasing.
No, battery life is very notably absent. And that is a painpoint in the zenphone 8 already.
Is this just about finding good sources? People like Adam Ragusea seem to me like they cover pretty much everything, and he just shows a sped up video for all the chopping/etc as he explains it.

Something like this https://youtu.be/p53xab3c3tg
More english speakers than french speakers in the world?
The same is true of London to a degree. London is dominated by private finance and trading firms, and many of those employing techies will be making a paper loss as far as HMRC is concerned, while their overseas arms make all the profit in 0% corporation tax jurisdictions.
But why would anybody go out of their way to use centiseconds? That seems like such an odd choice.

It's not just France but Europe in general doesn't have much foot into high growth businesses that are colloquially called "Tech". UK is a superpower in Europe in that regard, always was and will continue to be.

The reasons are a never ending debate, everyone(including me) likes to explain it from their own world view. If you are libertarian you will probably say because it's the big government, high taxes, workers rights, unions etc. but I personally don't like these explanations because they fail to explain why the distribution is not homogeneous within those legislative regions. So in reality, it's not that US and UK dominate the "tech" but it's SV and London. For whatever reason it is, you cannot do some tricks and have SV in Detroit and London in the Balkans.
Obviously Douyin is censored, everything in China is, but there's a loooong history of cat and mouse as apps and creators push the envelope and the state stomps down when they go too far.
I will never buy hosting (and trust it with personal data) from a website with no information on the company behind it. All legal information you provide are in a Notion file?! The place which would make the company address public is the Data Processing Agreement, which is "talk to us". It seems like you want to intentionally hide your legal entity, which isn’t very trustworthy.

Edit: The ToS say "The Website is offered by canvay.io, located in Karlsruhe, Germany". Dude, with all due respect, get your shit together. As a German citizen/company, you MUST publish an imprint with a company address, a VAT etc. [1].

It looks like a genuinely nice service, but it is just a matter of time until someone sends you a cease-and-desist order, which will be a lot more expensive than getting a proper imprint. And also, you'll earn more trust.

If you incorporated as a sole proprietator and want to protect your private address, sign up for a desk at a local coworking space and put that address online.

I just wanted you to know: You are completely correct and everybody arguing with you is wrong.
To the software wide of the equation --> open source is NOT the answer, abstractions ARE. The problem with programmers TODAY is that they take technical article written by a a cloud provider as gospel, and start slathering large layers of priority api calls/technical debt all over their solution - because thats what example code is designed todo, LOCK YOU IN. No need for contract nasties when your devs are doing the work for them!

Use an eggshell architecture, put your dependencies on the edge. global dependencies are the enermy.

The amount of data Spotify has on user behavior must be awe-inducing. Not that I'm complaining, the Algorithm has shown me plenty of good music that I would have missed otherwise. Seeing the data analyzed like this and the results published publicly is pretty cool!

I just wish sometimes there would be better ways to feed Spotify data on my preferences. I have a running playlist for example that I listen to over and over -- that does not mean I enjoy the genre 'DnB at 175BPM' so much that I want the same kind of music in my Discover Weekly.

It would be great if there either was a 'mood' you could set to say: I'm now listening to stuff that's only relevant in this context and shouldn't pollute other 'moods'; or if you could at least mark playlists as 'do not track'. I suspect you could already hide individual listening sessions from the data collection by making it a private session (would make sense at least, though I haven't checked), but who would remember to do that consistently, especially given how you need to set that switch manually in the settings.

It’s surprising how many people outside of the British and Irish isles still think the Republic is constituent to the UK. As if it never moved passed it’s Free State period.

Regarding the table irony, see also the common use of table, table-row, and table-cell display styles for anything but actual tables. ("If I'm using divs, it's fine!") :-)

As the sibling comment said, most Western food will include some variation on the mother sauces.

"The five mother sauces include béchamel sauce, veloute sauce, brown or Espagnole sauce, Hollandaise sauce and tomato sauce." French ones are the same: "The five French mother sauces are: Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnole, Hollandaise, and Tomato"

The techniques and ingredients you use for them are the basis for most sauces used in Western cuisine. You learn those five, you've learned all (or most of) western sauces.

Same. There is only two things I don't like with mine, and it is the battery life and that swiping left to go back is interfering with dragging left to go to the next panel. Everything else is stellar.

Mythic Beasts have been offering v6 only for years on their virtual and dedicated hosts - I've got a VPS with them with only v6, no point in paying for v4 if I don't need it.

Not sure if mob justice is devoid of suffering. The problem is that the justice system is only open to those with money. There is some basic help, right for an attorney if indicted, but that isn't enough overall to really get justice.
I have an S10e as well and the placement & responsiveness of the fingerprint sensor on it is absolutely perfect. Can't believe that subsequent models didn't retain it.

I also want to upgrade, but it's difficult to pick which phones will have equally good fingerprint reading.

Also hoping for eSIM support, in case anyone has suggestions.
I think it'd be a good move to avoid assuming too much about what equipment someone might have. A wok isn't too far out of what even an absolute beginner may have, maybe they got it with some other cookware or as a gift.
As others have said here, the writing does come off as kinda condescending. Granted, I'm a somewhat experienced home cook and I haven't tried the app yet, but if I'm learning something, the last thing I want to do is have a tutorial app sound condescending, even if that's not the intention.

Thanks for the pointers. Although I think <div> is still incredibly useful, because in many circumstances people simply don't know which element to use or don't care to come up with custom elements.

<div> to me is like the generic building "block", not meant to convey meaning most of the time, and you can use aria-role when needed.

I don't think we needed <section> and <article>, many things in HTML-CSS naming/conventions don't make sense to me, after 15 years. Too many ways to do the same thing.
I am incredibly upset that this person decided to write up an article about "the best iPhone", correctly recognized that the best iPhone has an "SE" in its name, then decided to show a picture of something else? Everyone knows iPhone SE has an ergonomic 4" Retina display, chamfered edges, and a blazing fast A9 processor, NVMe storage, and 2 GB of RAM, similar to its more expensive and slightly older sibling.

If Apple announced end-to-end, you might have a point. But they didn't, they still haven't, and there are zero indications they will ever offer end-to-end encryption for photos and videos. Given this, this would have been a clear step backwards for privacy, and it was Apple leading the charge this time.

UK tech companies tend to be B2B service companies rather B2C or product companies like the big name US tech companies, with the notable exception of Sage Group who are essentially the UK version of Intuit (but not quite so awful.)

That doesn't really mean anything though. You can't get any useful information from asking "do these companies market themselves in ways that would make me hear about them?"

In the UK it's just an ingrained cultural difference.

There's a natural skew in the UK for public businesses to focus on making profits and paying dividends, both of which don't help growth.

Meanwhile, many British entrepreneurs are happy with a "lifestyle business" that let them lead an upper middle class life on their own terms.

When you look at crowdfunding platforms for tech startup you won't see any ambitions to aggressively take over the world like you do in American pitches.

Most people here don't trust or invest in the stock market at all and instead the moderately well off seem to prefer investing in property, which produces income in retirement.

Whenever I see quotes like “182x faster than MySQL! 29x faster than Elasticsearch!” as the intro to a project, I’m immediately sceptical of the quality of the entire project.
First of all, what does “variety” even mean?

There used to be this cool script called "super eclectic score"[1] for last.fm. It had a pretty clever way of measuring how varied your tastes in music are.

The following script takes the 50 top artists in your musical profile from Last.fm, and finds the collection of top 20 similar artists (where the artist itself is the #1 most similar artist) for this top 50. The resulting is a list of artists similar to your preferred artists. As the list is larger (maximum = 1000), your musical preference is more diverse.
