I'd be interested in official mean-time-to-crease stats. If it's indeed a year, I think it's still very worthwhile.

Also, would it be economic to replace the panel after it creases?
There are some things which you should not answer unless you have experienced it yourself. Having kids is one of them.

All your activity sounds good on paper but real life does not work like that. Kids are smart, they can see you are on your smart device, they can see others are on their phones/ipads when they go outside. You dont want your kid to be a social outcast.

Sometimes when you want to do your chores or want some quiet time for yourself the best solution is to give your kids an ipad so that they remain busy.
It must have been important to Google to remove agency from the user. If the user is too specific in their search, it's more difficult to use information gathered about the user to fulfill what it appears their ultimate goal is: to spoonfeed.

That's what it seems like to me, moving to a world where technology tells you what you want, and you spend less effort telling it.

I think Netflix did a similar thing some time back, just with their front page. Originally it seemed like a place you went to look for things. At a later point, it seemed suddenly a bunch of things were shoved in your face by default, and looking for a thing seemed secondary.

Recommendation Engine, is that what Silicon Valley believes they're innovating on?

Yes colour extraction is related to skin exposure after crush. It is also related to phenolic ripeness and grape variety.
I think eventually (5-10 years?) most "laptops" may be using on-screen keyboards. Especially if there is somewhat decent haptic feedback.

It just makes so much more sense from a manufacturing standpoint for one thing. Makes it much simpler and you don't need to create separate keyboard layouts for different languages.

Also, younger generations are quite comfortable using on-screen keyboards on their phones.

But what will really make it take off is contextual and customizable user interfaces that sit next to the virtual letter and symbol keys. Which of course there could be many more symbols or emojis available in subkeyboards or for different contexts.

I'm not the other person, but in my view it's impossible to evaluate the full impact of an acquisition. What you need to do is envision futures where the acquisition does and doesn't take place. And then you have to be satisfied that in both futures, the market and customers suffer no injury. And then you have to justify that decision 10 years later to people who have the benefit of hindsight.

It's in vogue to criticise the FTC approval of the Instagram merger, for instance. The critics almost take it for granted that Instagram was going to grow by 100x over the next decade no matter what Facebook did. And that the FTC should have known this very obvious fact and blocked the merger.

And then this criticism-with-hindsight is used to criticise all past and future tech acquisitions.

I would love something like this if it used a real hinge or a slide instead of a folding screen. Best of all IMO would be a three part screen (two hinges/slides) with a 1:2:1 ratio so that the line - which can be small with modern bezel-less design but still present - won't be in the middle. That makes it usable for games etc. as well as many tiled terminal/editor windows. Innovation is great and all, kudos to them for trying this, but validating the UX aspects separately from the base display technology seems worthwhile.
I was quite irritated by the debunking of Sycamore's result recently; I had the impression from the pr (and the paper) that they had obtained exact results, but the truth is that these results were approximate. That's totally different. Previously I had dug out of the papers that it takes 48hrs to boot the machine and that it can only run for a few hours... and that was disappointing enough.

Also the obscuring of the impact of quantum fidelity on the Eagle chip from IBM. Ok, it's got 124 qbits - but you end up with a max circuit size of 24 which is similar to the previous 48 qbit generation (I think that one is called dodo or something).

Anyway, it looks like the absolute best spin is put on everything and the actual problems are being ducked - probably because they have to be because they are way beyond the current SOA.
Here's a separate issue I ran into the other day that almost made it impossible to find something Google had indexed. Type in "mumbai comes to norway," and you get a page and a half of results, with the date on almost all of them being 2011. Now give it a time range between 1900 and today (IE, all results with a time stamp should be included). All of the results disappear except for one.

For whatever reason any effort to use the time range can remove _many_ search results that Google knows are from that time range and that should be included. That can make it almost impossible to find old articles, particularly since Google pushes new less relevant hits if you don't restrict the time range.

The only way I was able to find this article the first time was by searching through social media, which sometimes has less crazy search algorithms.
I am in that group but for me it is less about biological age and more about experience.

I have had many experiences with ATM's and ATM networks being offline. Card processors being DDoS'd while I was trying to buy something at the store. Card terminals being hacked and "offline for maintenance". Card terminals offline but nobody knows why. Many of the card terminals here are dirty and won't read the chip. It is not my card, many people have these problems. I have to explain how to clean the readers to the clerks and their managers. When traveling cross-country this is not just an inconvenience, it is a road-trip stopper unless one has cash. Cash does not go offline.

3 days ago I had to help a friend that was stuck at the store with no cash and their card was not working. Their account was fine but the card system was offline for unknown reasons. I gave them cash and we were on our way. Now they know to keep cash on them.

Adding to this is the way ACH/wire transfers work gives me exactly zero confidence in the banking system. Sure, I might be able to eventually get my money back. Banks have the security of a high-school locker sitting in a dark alley as very little information about me is required to empty an account with zero interaction on my part. This information is leaked by online websites from every sector all the time. I just use banks as a small caching/broker system for online transactions and I watch my accounts like a hawk. If banks want to hold more money they need to entirely redesign that system and I know I am definitely not alone in this way of thinking and it isn't just people age 50+. Many in the hacker communities that work for banks are also aware of their vulnerabilities. I was part of that community when I worked for a bank.
"If I’m looking to keep up with the Kardashians, I’m not going to have any problems (at least, no search problems.)" Touché :]
The average person _does not_ care in the slightest. I have family and friends I have explained the tracking to, with proof, sources, up to date recent news, etc. I've explained how and why those companies and applications work, including apps like TikTok. Invariably the answer has been "So what?" and even "I don't have a problem with targeted ads, they're more relevant and good!". Or "I don't care if it's spying on me, everything is. It's fun".

PEOPLE in general do not care, even if they claim to know about the tracking.
My 2 cents: get a model with a touchpoint - once you get used to it, it's amazing how efficient it is to quickly switch between mouse and keyboard.

It's all about trade-off, aversion to risk, skill sets and so on...
No, I don't expect to see those things, because those things aren't what I searched for. My problem is that i get results for those things anyway. It's especially infuriating when, to use your example, I'm looking for something that happens to be called "dog" but has nothing to do with canines and Google won't stop giving me puppies.
Yes capacitor power button would work (assuming it is reliable). Still an amount of faff and expense to set up, especially if you are scaling a deployment. It would be great if the RPi (or some version of it) had this 'pre-installed'.
In short:liberty.

You can have cashless shit but don't take cash as an option for the rest of us. Another way of sayinf cashless is "tracked and logged payment transactions with regulated participation in commerce".

Probably because it's pretty obvious it's a phone, since it has a distinguishable shape and all. As silhouettes used in these signs are rather simple, I would imagine a "modern" phone would look like a million other things.

I guess there’s an argument to be made to put the “available for” section closer to the top, but the main repository I linked is meant more as a design template that needs all this explanation, the VSCode extension for example is a lot more succinct.

Plus the folders in the repo are named after what implementation they contain which I hoped was self-explanatory.
Yep, this is at eye height. For me this solution is better than using a laptop raiser because: you get two displays instead of one, and in a setup no wider than a laptop, and you don’t need to pack an external keyboard, mouse and/or trackpad. Plus a tripod and portable display packs way better than most laptop raisers I’ve seen.

The upper display becomes your main display, the lower one your secondary. You still have to look down sometimes at the secondary but that is vastly better than craning your neck the whole time.

Edit: [Pic](https://imgur.com/a/sdLmYJG). Bad photo but you get the idea. In reality, both those panels are perfectly angled for viewing when I’m sitting down in front of them, with no overlap.

That’s great that you guys are into this. I feel like I cracked the code with this one. I told my irl friends and they just shrugged.
Do you want a book on SRE, or do you want one on systems administration and operations?

SRE is a specialized software engineering discipline, the sort of thing you'd do if you had a team of 20 SWEs and wanted to write something like Kubernetes or Puppet. Good books on SRE (besides the Google book that popularized it) cover UNIX and Linux operating system concepts, low-level networking, and software architecture in general.

On the other hand, if you've got a team that does a lot of operations work by hand -- runbooks, MOPs, checklists, etc -- and want to automate it, then you should be looking for books on modern systems administration. Look for references to specific technologies such as Kubernetes (or Mesos), Terraform (or CloudFormation, or Pulumi), Puppet (or Ansible).

(context: I've been an SRE for ~10 years, first at Google then Stripe)
GP may have meant that this is useful outside of bisecting something in the main branch.

For example, you may want to get your tree in one of the intermittent states and play around with it. Run some tests, try how some object behaves, to better understand the different commits comprising the PR. I do this quite a lot.
Historically "Claret" or "Clairet" in England referred to a light wine imported from Bordeaux -- which was historically actually a part of the Kingdom of England until the 15th century or so so had favoured trading relationships with England. And that wine was the chief export of Bordeaux.

Over time the term broadened (in English usage) to mean Bordeaux wine in general, even as the wine produced in Bordeaux changed.

It's a bit of an anachronism now, but my point was that at the time this was the chief export out of Bordeaux. The darker rich wine which now predominates in Bordeaux was not as desired.
For the ease of discussion here is the relevant piece of code:

#define IS_POINTER_CONST(P) _Generic(1 ? (P) : (void *)(P) \
, void const *: 1 \
, default : 0)
#define STATIC_IF(P, T, E) _Generic (&(char [!!(P) + 1]) {0} \
, char (*) [2] : T \
, char (*) [1] : E)
#define _STRING_SEARCH_QP(T, F, S, ...) \
STATIC_IF (IS_POINTER_CONST ((S)) \
, (T const *) (F) ((S), __VA_ARGS__) \
, (T *) (F) ((S), __VA_ARGS__))

#define memchr(S, C, N) _STRING_SEARCH_QP(void, memchr, (S), (C), (N))
#define strchr(S, C) _STRING_SEARCH_QP(char, strchr, (S), (C))
#define strpbrk(S1, S2) _STRING_SEARCH_QP(char, strpbrk, (S1), (S2))
#define strrchr(S, C) _STRING_SEARCH_QP(char, strrchr, (S), (C))
#define strstr(S1, S2) _STRING_SEARCH_QP(char, strstr, (S1), (S2))

Here `IS_POINTER_COST` expands `P` twice so `_STRING_SEARCH_QP` expands `T`, `F`, `S` and each variadic argument 2, 2, 4 and 2 times respectively. Note that only `S` and variadic arguments are expressions and evaluated only once, but the number of expanded tokens can blow up exponentially.
1) By keeping the bacteria a secret: not telling which bacteria can be used like this, not telling where you can find it in the nature, not giving anyone a piece of the bacteria culture to use.

2) By patenting the industrial process that makes use of the bacteria, thus gaining an exclusive commercial right to it.

That's a fair point. My town (outside of NYC) is very much like that. With that in mind, the 1-mile walk I mentioned in my original response is based on the paths available to me (twists, intersections, etc.) rather than straight lines.

In my mind, this is another the under-rated aspects of parts of NYC - grids. Simplify the process of walking, judging distance, knowing where you are.

Even then, is your participation in that system regulated? Do you need a smartphone with government issued id as a requirement? And internet usage and access? With cash you just need the person to hand you the currency paper.

Play and exploration are not mutually exclusive, in fact they seem intertwined. Children discover by playing. Exploration and staying in your comfort zone do seem mutually exclusive however, I wouldn't think playing prevents you from learning or doing new stuff. Or that any kind of joy is actually detrimental to your personal development.
I don't believe they are correct, or at least their arguments doesn't explain why it wouldn't work. Volatile wouldn't work with memset since memset doesn't take a pointer to volatile memory, that is true, but you could set the volatile data yourself and it shouldn't be optimized away as per the spec. The data living on a stack doesn't matter, it works perfectly fine having volatile data on the stack.

I tried the following code in a few compilers, it works perfectly for overwriting buffer pointers that goes out of scope, also tested removing the volatile to ensure that the memory write was ignored and I reproduced the code vulnerability where the previous message was still there the second time I tried to read a message, and from the way I read the spec this shouldn't be optimized away by any compiler:

void memset_explicit(char* p, char c, size_t n) {
volatile char* vp = p;
while (n--) *vp++ = c;
}

Casting other data types to a pointer to volatile data is within the spec, and the compiler should then treat it like any other volatile data.
In theory, sure. But in practice, it's driven by dying.
Those seem clearly presented in the article as direct quotes from a mentally disturbed person and from the agent of a grifter.

The article is about paranoia and irrationality. It would throw off the pacing and be condescending to the reader if they were constantly stomping the brake to explicitly refute each one of the steady stream of plainly outlandish claims.

Based on their construction video, it appears to be styrofoam with a layer of stucco.

The problem I have with the video is the fact that they're installing these panels on short, thin little stub walls made of concrete. These have almost zero insulation factor. They basically have a large thermal gap under each wall.

‘Mr Bitcoin’ Extradited by Greece to the US
> given the copyrights inherent in the original source material

It's not obvious to me that (under US law) these are copyright protected. It may be a similar case as typefaces vs. fonts. The language on the ISO website suggests, at least to me, that you are paying for particular files in particular formats and are not licensing a protected symbol. Also the language in the ISO standards describes abstract symbols, and afaik there is no normative requirement to use the exact images from the standard / ISO to be compliant.
“Would you like to pay $60 a month to avoid a yak shave and on-going yak beard trimming?” Yes, I would.

I’m often accused of being somewhat too frugal, but in this case frugality points me strongly towards paying the $60/mo.

I just bought a roomba and was happy that they weren’t owned by Google or Amazon. This is unfortunate.

I owned nests before Google bought them and it was sad to both see their innovation decline (basically the same now as 8 years ago) and usability decline (forcing Google logins).

Another one - you can't use the swipe keyboard to type phrases apple thinks are "naughty", such as "white woman" or "kill myself". iOS will always change one of the two words, e.g. changing "white" to "while" or "kill" to "hill".
My average search starts with „site:reddit.com” because otherwise first three pages of results will be SEO blogs where 90% of article follows „First, what is XYZ?” followed by „so we see why it serms hard, but if you pay us/our affiliate money we will do it for you nice and easy!”
If you care about accessibility and these colours have any sort of function or meaning within the app, I’m afraid I would advise against using these colours as they were created for a quite specific use-case — colouring tokens within “fluid” text.

If you just like them aesthetically and all they’re meant to do is look good, feel free, though I have to say they weren’t designed with aesthetics in mind at all.

For accessible categorical colour schemes, check out Okabe-Ito, Paul Tol or colour brewer.
Yeah this seemed completely bizzare to me, too. Not only are operators like site: and inurl: more necessary than ever, they're not even sufficient a lot of times, because if you don't know what website you're looking for you have to wade through oceans of blogspam that can't easily be filtered through operators since they're designed to match anything you search for. That's mainly a problem with the indexing; Google should be ignoring these sites. But it's probably padding their bottom line, so I guess they're not incentivised to.

I'll keep saying it again and again. When companies have almost no incentives other than maximising profit, this kind of BS will invariably be what we end up with. Dark patterns are just too good for business if not kept in check through regulatory or other means.
> In some states, even 16 could drink beer prior to the feds fucking things up.

That's one thing I always found funny when looking at the US as a european. When I had my first legal beer as a sixteen year old I remembered that I would only be allowed to do this in the US in five more years. Of course the actual first beer was drank when I was fifteen.

What I always wondered - In countries where beer is allowed at sixteen, people usually try it when fifteen, because doing forbidden things is obviously cool during this age. But in the US, do kids start illegaly drinking when they're twenty, or do y'all also start experimenting earlier?

EDIT: Also love the fact that 18 year olds in the US can join the military, yet aren't allowed to drink a beer until three years later.
In some ways it's surprising that it took us so long to arrive here, but very exciting that things are moving in this direction nonetheless!
The iphone was at one point in time the same innovation as this and at that time there were plenty of people like you calling it an "obvious" failure.

Yeah, I suspect when they added all the "filter out all the piracy sites" features, and anything else that's bad on the internet, it really ruined what was once the most powerful search engine I had seen to date. I don't think we'll ever see that again. Probably also when they "personalized" the search results more and more.

What Google needs is a built-in way to block domains, like idk... Pinterest.
Absolutely. Incentive programs to upgrade the engines for tax breaks and trade-in discounts would surely get their attention as it would extend the life of the aircraft and reduce maintenance costs. Newer engines may also be quieter and could mean less complaints about noise in some small airports.
Time is money while driving. If I stop on the side of the highway to jump out and pee, I lose a GUARANTEED minimum of 15 minutes. (even if the piss-stop was under a minute) It is a bizarre phenomenon that I could never rectify, or articulate precisely HOW it happens.

When you are driving, you constantly are doing math.
Miles (or Kilometers) converted into minutes until the next turn, and also final destination. Then you try to fit that into how much time you have left in your day.

A 2 minute battery change will always take longer then 2 minutes off of your driving time. Filling up with diesel takes ~10-15 minutes. Pulling into the truck stop, grabbing more coffee or tea for your thermos, going to the bathroom, all combine make you lose 30-45 minutes. It's not the individual item times. It's the accumulation. Accelerating, decelerating, traffic, etc.

The job of Driving a truck is almost impossible to make a living at in Canada if you do it legally. Now with all trucks having an onboard electronic log-book, I'd never even try.
