> So we continue to live our life as animals?

What? How does yours follow from mine? I absolutely can't follow your way of thinking. Please explain. We seperated from animals long before religions were a thing. I am not living life as an animal just because I am not a theist (nor atheist).

> As I mentioned elsewhere, in Islam, we have logic, observational evidence, and the honest news to get to truth. Disregarding any one of them is nonsensical.
> Honest news is a source of truth.

"Honest news" is hearsay. I can't go and verify any of it. I cannot logically explain any of it even. You are asking me to just believe it is true what someone a millenia ago said, something (miracles) that goes against any real life obvervation I can do. Sorry, not happening.

> There were several arguments made, e.g. fine tuning argument and the fact that something cannot come out of nothing. Those are established, and denying them is basically denying logic.

You said there is proof and yet whenever I ask you to present it you don't. I refused a whole bunch of the arguments made in the video, I think it was extremely misleading and some might call it dishonest.

I specifically refuted his fine tuning argument. I did so using basic logic and understanding of statistics. Can you tell me where exactly I was wrong? Quick recap: he assumes (unjustified) that there was only one try at making the universe and so the chance to get our universe would be excedingly low. There is no reason to make such an assumption and if you remove that assumption then the most likely scenario is actually that you arrive at our universe because with enough tries you will hit the jackpot a hundred times in a row, guaranteed. From our limited point of view that would look like a rigged system, something designed to be that way. This might be unintuitive at first to many people but is a simple mathematical fact.

That is just one of the possible explanation without resulting to intelligent design. Stephen Hawking's top-down cosmology is another. There are a few more.
Interesting that he believes the regime change is a coup. Khan, the now-ousted former prime minister, appears to be a Trump-style strong man who is whipping up his supporters with claims that the vote of no confidence which removed him is actually a U.S.-led conspiratorial regime change.

Might be right, and it's absolutely awful if these folks are being unjustly detained and tortured.

Yet, I think it's more complicated than the author would lead us to believe. It's also fascinating how this kind of unrest is unfolding all around the world.
thank you so much! your support means a lot.
That probably refers to the fact that poopulation-wise, Belarussians, Ukrainians and Russians are split like Vanyar-Noldor-Teleri (and have physical appearance differencies not unlike those three)
The problem with free tiers is they can disappear any moment...great setup anyways, and guide.
Besides his endings, his couples intimacy scenes are also absolutely awful and the women can be cartoonish. He makes up for everything with his worldbuilding skill though. Authors lean heavily on the parts of writing they're good at. For example, I've been reading Asimov's foundation, and he almost ignores characterization and describing any of the locations in the book. The whole thing revolves around the plot.
> If they're confused you've hired the wrong people

If they think their people will be confused, they don't trust their people.

That's not necessarily the same thing as hiring the wrong people.
I had been doing the same, but Best Buy (US) reduced its return period to 14 days unless you shell out $200/year for their Totaltech membership. I should do a better job about inspecting orders as they arrive, but I think 14 days just isn't enough. I've been burned by it a couple of times now due to work travel.

So, now I'm back to trying to find a reputable retailer that sells authentic products.
If the prescribing physician is not informing you of important interactions and you are relying on random internet threads or food labeling (especially for food you normally consume) to notify you, then you are already doomed.

Medicine, especially prescription medicine, often has terrible interactions with many commonly used substances.

On the other hand, warning are useless when they are unspecific and appear on something you regularly consume. You will at best notice a warning label on a package 2-3 times in your entire life, assuming you use that regularly, and even then you will immediately forget unless it is very specific to you (such as a peanut warning for someone with a peanut allergy).
The declarative, "reactive" approach is good, and worthy of rolling out a new UI API even given that Apple has an excellent MVC-style API...

But it looks like the task was somewhat beyond the people who had the responsibility for rolling out SwiftUI at Apple.

We're several years in to SwiftUI.

Apple's in a tough spot now. I'm really glad I don't have anything too high-stakes dependent on it. (I only have a project with ~200 hours invested -- not zero! -- it's heavily UI, but it's tiny... maybe ~30-40 hours to port to UIKit, if needs be.)

Don't worry, life will sort it out. Eventually you will realize that you cannot even be an expert of a niche field.
I agree. The amount of plumbing behind the scenes is really complex. This immediately becomes apparent if, for example, you want to use @AppStorage with something that isn't a very simple type. Then suddenly you are in no mans land reading Combine documentation with no examples
Given that sqlite databases are just files, what is the benefit of this vs. version controlling the database file itself?

I dispute that Twitter could be a tool against those things, because that implies that it's within Twitter's capabilities to know everything that is going on in the world in order to distinguish between true and untrue tweets.

Given that limitation, I would argue that the ideal communication medium simply conveys the messages it's given without regard for their contents. What people do with those messages is something that the medium has no power over.
Agreed. A "read your drug information pamphlet for patients" campaign would be much more helpful than having a bunch of "don't take x,y,z,a,b,c,p,q,r with this food." Because x,y,z,a,b,c,p,q,r already have warnings against the foods that are incompatible.
The fact it is using three different entirely HTTP libraries to be able to support HTTP/1, 2 and 3 is kind of telling on the complexity of modern HTTP.
FTA: In standby, the monitor is actually disconnected and disappears from the I/O Registry

I think the common case of “multiple HDMI ports” is one where users plug in USB-C dongles to magically create them.

In that case, do the HDMI ports disappear from the registry, too, so that you can’t identify ports across standby?

Even distinguishing a built-in HDMI port from one in a USB-C dongle may be difficult if the built-in one secretly is connected over USB-C.

I really loved the Baroque cycle; Is there any other author that writes similar stuff?

I've liked other Stephenson novels I've read (Cryptonomicon and Diamond age), but to be honest they haven't been the mind blowing experience of the Baroque cycle.

I'm planning to read Anathem and Termination Shock in the hopefully not too far future, but we'll see.
Sounds like journal clubs but organized through a specialized tech platform rather than normal communication channels.

(Journal clubs are groups of people, usually working in the same field, who pick & present a paper to the rest of the group on an rotating basis.)
This is an issue at our office. We have some cheaper LG monitors that flicker when someone stands up from his gas spring chair. The Dell monitors we have don’t suffer this issue.

Advent of Computing: Episode 89 – Forth
There are a few differences between you having to wait and a Soviet having to wait for a car multiple years:
* You most probably already have a car and just want a newer model. A Soviet citizen just had a bike.
* Soviet citizen had one or two models they could choose from. You have a plethora, some of which are probably more readily available than others.

Don't compare UK shortages with what the Eastern Bloc went through. They had people going to surgery without anesthesia. You'll manage with your existing car for a bit more.
Scheme also abbreviates:

It's pretty much how any CDN would work?
> Someone prescribed a medicine is given given direction by the doctor, a consult from their pharmacist, and printed material explaining how to take their medication and what to be careful of while taking it.

I don’t know what the healthcare system is like where you live but based on my experience in the UK, the only reliable one of these three sources that I’ve experienced is the printed material. Doctors and pharmacists, for whatever reason, have not proved to be a good source for anything but the most basic of information (if any) about prescribed medicine.

And that printed material is so broad that they list every possible side effect and contraindication under the sun. Presumably for sufficient legal cover for the pharmaceutical company.
From what I understand it's not a democratic vs republican thing, it's a rural vs urban. There are enough rural democrats that they wouldn't be able to pass a constitutional reform.
REAMDE came out a very short time before awareness of ransomware went from "a handful of people in the hacker world" to "infosec industry starts becoming aware of it".

I like what SwiftUI will become, but I'm not there. yet.

The current project that I'm working on, is pretty big. It peaked at 40 screens, but I'm trying to get it down to half that.

I've been working on it for two years. I also wrote one of the backends (and most of another).

There was no way that I was going to start on a project of that complexity on SwiftUI, which, at the time I started, had only been demonstrated in a few small projects. I already knew that UIKit could do it.

But I think that SwiftUI will become the standard, sooner or later. I look forward to being able to write more reactive applications in it. In my experience, if I use UIKit, it's a fairly bad idea to stray from the old MVC model (This, I have learned. <Pulls up shirt> See this scar?).
Degrowth is a loser mindset. Why not focus on getting more water, i.e. from the sea as done in Israel?
Yeah. I think those murals should serve as a tourist attraction. It sort of reminds me of Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie was once a gate through a literal wall dividing a nation, a continent. A symbol of conflict and a reminder of war. World war 3 almost started there. Now, it a tourist trap. It’s happy goofy tourists taking selfies and buying souvenirs. From a symbol of war to a symbol of peace. I think it should be like that everywhere.
It is also enirely and completely useless. You would get desensitized to the warning the second or third time you buy grapefruit, and have 0% chance to remember the ubiquitous warning when you actually get some medication that does interact.

The important thing is for your doctor to be aware, and notify you.

Also, grapefruit is nowhere near the only food that can have terrible interactions with certain drugs.

Father lost his Gmail account and his Google Fi account. [0] Which means that he was locked out of a lot of other accounts because he couldn't access his email or SMS messages.

I figure Google knows how to protect against attacks way better than a random email provider. I enrolled in their Advanced Protection Program [1] because I don't want my email taken over. I've used a Google Voice number deliberately because somebody can't walk into Verizon or AT&T and get my number.

The idea that there's absolutely no recourse if Google decides I'm a bad guy. Especially since they sometimes seem to target associated accounts - are all of the family accounts going to be cancelled, too?

I don't think Apple's security is as good but I'm also not qualified to judge that. And at least I can talk to support on the phone or go into a store. So I'm moving my email that way over time.

There is no evidence to suggest that Apple are deprecating AppKit and UIKit
Note that it doesn't need nearly as high sales to be profitable. With a traditional console, you can only play games specifically made for the console, so if you don't sell 10s of millions of units, there won't be games for it. The steam deck can play anything on steam that works on linux (well over 50% of the total catalog) so the necessary volume to break even is way lower.
I'll get downvoted to oblivion, but one should use ebay....
In Vegas in 2021, I was surprised to see double or even (rarely) single 0 roulette tables mostly empty, right next to full triple-0 tables with the same min bet. Players seemed to understand the game too, so I guess the better table had just opened up and they didn't feel like moving.
>Then why use it anywhere?

To write code quicker, and make it easier to maintain. If it's a moderately complicated UI, then I could code it up much faster in React (my guess is around 10x). IMO, React isn't about functional programming, it's just a good DSL for writing UI.
Why is dissolving potassium nitrate in water an endothermic process ?

https://socratic.org/questions/5422ba97581e2a47cb1a8acf

"Dissolving potassium nitrate in water is an endothermic process because the hydration of the ions when the crystal dissolves does not provide as much energy as is needed to break up the lattice."

Huh, which explains why it's reusable, dry it out, grind it up and you can use it again.

Presumably with the web client. There is nothing to prevent sending and receiving encrypted/signed emails to/with a capable MUA using a gmail-based address (I know this because I have done it).

The gap in the market is accessing those emails via the web interface (or native gmail phone apps).

Your implication that they don’t add this capability because it is at odds with their values or what brings them value is at best only partly correct, and the most compelling reason for its being correct is that the support costs for average users - and the risks of having those users make errors and get the security wrong, which is entirely a user error in the current space - is simply too costly for them to gain value from supporting the capability.

That "if" does a lot in that sentence :) Just had a typical fun experience:

Customer: Your platform doesn't work, when we do this, A happens

Me: Hm, we don't have that feature, but I understand your use-case. We could deliver this new feature by tomorrow, but using it that way also inherently means B would happen in such and such cases, so just want to make sure that's what you want?

Customer: Let us know when the bug has been fixed, it's urgent and we're losing money because of you (they had 1 month free trial)

Me:: It's not a bu...okay, we will

Me: * works all night, builds a new feature, fully polished, notifies customer

Customer after 2 days: Yet ANOTHER bug with your unstable software!! * describes B
Well that's supposed to be the point of SwiftUI. You write out your declarative structure, let the library worry about how to make it fast, and move on with your day. They literally introduced it that way. Obviously that is very detached from reality
Idealism?

I'm not an idealist. I'm a pragmatist.

But the internet allows businesses to operate virtually in de facto war zones. This is getting people killed when the business tries to act like they don't need to account for that fact.

If they physically went into a war zone to sell products and it was getting people killed, would that merit a "Too bad, so sad. Gotta make money, doncha know. Can't be worried about niggling details like not getting our customers cavalierly killed."
Another +1 from a happy user! Thank you for developing it. I use several times a day, whenever I'm entering/leaving video calls, or depending if the site/app has dark mode. It's incredibly helpful and reliable!

More seriously, it is easy to overlook the extreme spectrum of knowledge and ignorance in our society. There are other factors too, such as cognitive impairment, state of mind, etc. Ignorance may be a poor defence under law, but in a more ideal world, ignorance of grapefruits shouldn't result in capital punishment.

With the extreme liberalness we accept advertisements everywhere, it doesn't seem unreasonable to dedicate an extra amount of space here and there for friendly warnings.

Edit: I see several comments stating that such warnings are printed on labels. If so, discard my comment. Other than verbal warning, that's probably adequate for our imperfect world.
This is why Elon backed out of the twitter deal due to fake accounts.
Still find it odd that I will need to use pipewire-pulseaudio and parec if I want to create a loopback device and null sink so I can select a sound device that doesn't play audio locally, and record audio to send over the network. Unless someone else has done all of this with native PipeWire?
Well, then keep ramping the rates up for big users and start giving smaller users more free water. A lot of people will just use the same amount of water even if their bill is eliminated.
I don't see any particular difference between selling apache/php/mysql hosting and selling k8s namespace with managed monitoring/logging/gitops/etc. It's not a mercedes, it's the same shared CPU/RAM/Storage, just with different software. May be k8s is not ready yet to host completely different applications on the same cluster, but it just means that there's still work to be done for better isolation.
And you think a warning on a grapefruit juice bottle that you buy everyday would do better? Especially one that, by force of space, says "ask your pharmacist if any medicine you take may interact with this"?

Buy large amounts of water from where? California has none to buy, that's kind of what "the largest drought in recorded history" means.

The problem is over-consumption of water, not "people not paying their fair share for the water they do use"; there's no budget deficit, there's a water deficit. And when the problem is folks wasting water, the solution is to stop giving them unfettered access to this critical resource. They still get enough water to live off of, but nothing more.
The thread is about GCP, not about the rest of the Google products.
Some late baroque-period harpsichords had a selectable A: you could chose ~430, ~410, or ~390. The adjustment came from sliding the keyboards to the left or right based on which A you wanted. Supposedly A = 390 or even lower was used by the French in the renaissance, so you wanted your harpsichord to be able to accurately play historical music.
Author here. My intuition says that's probably a faulty backlight panel.

Not sure if you know that, but the liquid crystal that creates the image and colors is very dark by itself, so behind the crystal panel there's another panel filled with bright white LEDs to project the image into your eyes.

Those LEDs can draw a lot of power and get hot, so they need proper passive cooling. In laptops that's usually achieved by gluing the LEDs to the lid and making the whole lid a massive heatsink (if it's a metal lid).

It's possible that your backlight panel was overheating for some reason, or maybe it was just drawing more power than the source (old battery?) could provide. That would explain the continous blinking/ringing until the power/temperature stabilized, but it's really just a guess.

It doesn't really sound like a software error anyway.
Yes a ballot initiative could do the trick. However it's hard to get urban voters to really appreciate the scale of the problem or what needs to be done. As long as their home water supply works and the bill isn't exorbitant then everything seems fine. Plus even with a ballot initiative to change the state Constitution, it would probably still be necessary to compensate current water rights holders at fair market value in order to seize or significantly curtail those rights. That type of eminent domain property seizure would be extraordinarily expensive, and so politicians hesitate to propose the tax increases and bond sales that would be necessary to fund it. But the current situation is unsustainable, so eventually we'll hit a true crisis where some large areas literally run out of water.

There is a saying in Spanish that perfectly encapsulates the idea of this article: "vísteme despacio que tengo prisa" (dress me slowly, — because — I am in a hurry).
I was going to come in here and say something like this. Targeting lawns which use maybe 5% of the water is the wrong thing to target, but much like recycling or air pollution from cars, the corporate machine has attached itself to the discussion and ensured that no eyes are looking their way, away from the "little guy" who is now responsible for fixing environmental catastrophes via individual action (which won't work).

Sure, but do you think any of the people that doesn't even stop to check if their new prescription medication interacts with the acetaminophen (paracetamol/Tylenol) they take whenever they have a headache is going to be moved by a grapefruit juice generic warning?
