I was looking into exporting a database from DuckDB to Postgres for use with Google Data Studio, but whenever I was exporting DuckDB was attaching decimals to integers. This was throwing off the entire import into Postgres. Think I’ll just try this out.
I never said a word about its novelty, I only pointed out it's funny how it took 10 years for Java to implement exactly the same functionality, because of how complex Java is. Even when implemented, some potholes in the implementation have yet to be fixed.

>This is presumably (?) down to the type of people generally drawn to editing wiki pages

Well maybe, but also the bulk of the funding to the Wikimedia Foundation comes from The Tides Foundation who is extremely biased[0].

"The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization which manages Wikipedia, is closely tied to the Tides Foundation. The general counsel of Wikimedia, Amanda Keton, is the former general counsel of the Tides Network, the former head of Tides Foundation, and the former CEO of Tides Advocacy. The multimillion-dollar Wikimedia Endowment, created in 2016, is managed by the Tides Foundation and has an advisory board appointed by Tides. In 2020, Wikimedia established the multimillion-dollar Wikimedia Foundation Knowledge Fund to be run by Tides Advocacy" [1]

No, I have insurance but the cost of old age can still be really steep.
Oh neat! I have a fairly large collection of originals as well as one of the modern ones.
Yeah, my mother also had a hand bell as a backup to the pushbutton system. It was of some 3-4 inches in diameter with a black handle that had been turned to give it an ornate pattern. The bell was attached by string to a hook on a shelf in the kitchen so it wouldn't go walkabout.

It worked marvelously and almost always the dog would arrive there first (it was usually my job to feed the dog before our food was served).

League of Legends requires a phone number to create an account on the korean server, and there's reasonably widespread belief that that rule is a huge part of why the korean server is regarded as the best in the world. In 10 player competitive games being held hostage by a bad actor sucks. On other servers players who get banned just make a new account which leads to the game not even banning anyone since "oh they'll just make a new account." But in Korea if you get banned 3 times you're totally cut off, so people behave better.
We already hold similar levels of power. We can just not use Facebook and Google. One needs neither of these services to live a normal life.
In 1990 I was programme director of a radio station and had an ongoing requirement that only software could efficiently deliver. There was no suitable app available and I had neither the budget nor management permission to pay for it to be written. In the end I said "How hard can this be?", took home a (very primitive) laptop with DOS and GB-BASIC on it, and taught myself to code.

With the lessons I learnt from that I bought a c compiler and kept learning. Six years later I left the radio industry to work full time as a developer.

I wouldn’t take that chance at most of my friends’ houses, much less any public place.

USB-C condoms that provide Power Delivery are quite hard to build and I haven’t seen any in the wild.
Sort of.

What I am saying is that the ease with which digital media can be copied and distributed is the fundamental problem.

Prior to the free open Internet and widespread access to digital media, physically producing and distributing the actual newspaper was the hard part.

The time and difficulty of physically printing and delivering the actual paper media automatically covers for all the effort that goes in to producing the content of that media.

Anyone who would want to steal that content still had to do the actual hard part (physical production and delivery of the paper media).

Now though, with the free open Internet, production and distribution of the physical media (beeps, boops, zeros, and ones) is ludicrously cheap and easy. The content is now not only the most valuable part of the deal it is also easier than ever to steal.

Games are games.

The 0.1% of cheaters ruin those games so much for the masses that it requires actions like this. Unaddressed cheating will literally destroy a game and bankrupt a company.

It's sad that we have come to needing this kind of measures to prevent cheating, but the companies aren't the ones to blame for it.
I think this is the answer.
> The question was not asked in bad faith

Ok, so you agree that you should not ask questions in bad faith, and then when you later said "And why should my question be in good faith?", well that was a dumb question.

Glad I finally got you to the point of saying that we shouldn't ask people questions in bad faith, to attack them.

Just say what mean, and don't do this roundabout way of attacking people, with a flame-bait question.

And if you already agree that we should not ask people bad faith questions, then you saying "And why should my question be in good faith?" is bad faith itself, because you already know that we shouldn't do that.
Looks like protection racket.
...and you have nice imperative race condition right there in your simple example.
The paper:

Battery-free wireless imaging of underwater environments - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-33223-x.pdf

> ..The cameras power up from harvested acoustic energy, capture color images using ultra-low-power active illumination and a monochrome image sensor, and communicate wirelessly at net-zero-power via acoustic backscatter. We demonstrate wireless battery-free imaging of animals, plants, pollutants, and localization tags in enclosed and open-water environments.

> ..Here, we report underwater backscatter imaging, a battery-free wireless imaging method for underwater environments. Our method consumes five orders of magnitude less power than previously reported underwater wireless imaging systems. The ultra-low-power nature of our method enables it to operate entirely based on harvested energy.
It's not clear why having to log in to a company's servers makes something not a "game". Are MMORPGs not games?

The comment about broad appeal is also a bit confusing to me. Why do things stop being games because they're designed to be accessible to many people?
Beatings will continue until morale improves...
Yes, because the judicial system is free of politics and nothing can ever go wrong by giving the government more power to police what can be done on private platforms.
A significant portion of Texas and Florida need to realize that these damaging events aren't going to stop happening, and they need to either build stronger, or leave if that's not possible.

If I built a house that could not manage a foot of snow on it's roof in Maine without collapsing, and every year it collapsed got a big check from the feds to rebuild the exact same structure in the exact same place, surely someone would be willing to tell me I'm being stupid?

I've been banned-for-life from a handful of services after I lied about my age as a kid.

I can see both (all?) sides of this:

- As a society we ought to be forgiving of harmless youthful indiscretions

- As a business you shouldn't have to give second chances to people who blatantly defraud you

- There is a big can of worms when it comes to doing business with minors on the internet. I don't think there's a solution as easy as "well when they're 18, let them log into their account and update their age to acknowledge that they were using the service as a minor" or "just let people open multiple accounts (with wildly different ages) under their name."
Riiiiight..... just let me know when I can easily find good devs.
You can change the back-end for telescope so it uses FZF, of FZY or whatever for the filtering. But fzf.vim works a bit better out of the box
I do this. I use the same protocol as https://blame.email/ (so that I can use their site). The nice thing about having the name in the clear is that it is easy to map it back to the sender at a glance, rather than having to loop up old messages.
There are many other examples that can be found by just doing a quick search.

But it seems that some individuals even refuse to do so. They would rather stick to their strong (sometimes objectively flawed) opinions. Which is totally fine. Everyone is entitled to.

It's just embarrassingly bad when they try to regurgitate it to others and continue to double down. Even when presented with irrefutable data or new information.
That is for the state, and local municipalities to decide - not congress.

Policing is best done at the local level. The police force needs to be local, and beholden to locals. It would be a very perverse system to have a "federalized" police force in every town and city...
The town I grew up (about 10k people, in the midwest) had exactly one bike cop. I don't recall his real name, but everybody called him Lurch. The story was that when he was new, he spent a day speed trapping outside the police station, and giving other cops speeding tickets. They took away his squad car, and he was a bike cop forever after. I'm not sure what he did when there were three feet of snow on the ground.

Anyway, when I heard that story, it was a joke about how dumb Lurch was. As a grown up, this is a story about how local law enforcement is above the law, and how they punished an officer who challenged that.
I mean there's still enough time to pick and choose the food that is making people fat...
Do you mean use Adsense as per policy (by linking the account of someone over 18) or do you mean lie to Google?

The latter might be true, but every time Google becomes aware of it they will cancel that account as quickly as they can.
I’ve never used AdSense, so might be a stupid question, but how do they identify you? Are you supposed to give them some lifetime identifying information like SSN? Everything else like email, name, address can be changed.
> This mainly protects sites you visit from having JavaScript injected into them by networks when there aren't any other protections, and the VPN is run by Cloudflare so it will be performant, so I don't really see any problems here? Seems like a positive development actually.

How does this protect from having JavaScript injected? Why couldn't the VPN do that?

So more states have more people with more fat on them?

Or perhaps more scientifically put: the prevalence of states with a high prevalence of inhabitants with a high prevalence of fat cells is increasing.

How many of the critical workers who maintain port facilities live in beachfront houses? Approximately none. We can quit subsidizing wealthy beachfront home owners and limit new housing to places that are more defensible.

Returning all of the current privately owned beachfront to natural habitat would be absolutely glorious. We can make exceptions for public facilities serving the greater good, like ports.

Ubisoft has been rumored to be an acquisition target for years. Ubisoft's market cap is 3.5 billion euro. $13 billion should be enough to cover a buyout.
Because if that's his real motivation, it's more efficient to build a competitor. It would probably be even more efficient to put polish on existing competitors like Mastodon. Buying Twitter is one of the silliest possible approaches. Thus, skepticism.

> Any nuclear subs would be hunted by superior Navies to a watery grave.

That is a fantasy. Even if we knew exactly where all of the subs were, we could never hope to destroy every single one before any of them fires off its payload.

And why would the crews of these subs willingly go to a watery grave without launching their nukes, especially if they were backed into a corner.

Do you understand that tens of millions of civilians could die if a single submarine fired missile is launched?
Just compile Firefox or chromium to WebAssembly and run it inside Edge. :-)
Yes that worked out well last time. Microsoft was broken up and they were forced to unbundled their browser from Windows.

Also, politicians never go after companies for biased reasons and we can count on the government with more power not to abuse it.
And how expensive are, say, carrots? Apples here are 2 eu per kilogram. Carrots are the same price out of season, and carrot season is coming. From what I can tell, carrots beat apples on most benchmarks, except for having to prepare the things.

If dietary fiber is your concern, switch to brown rice and eat some more.

I have no clue what typical vegetable or fruit prices are in the US, but both here and in most Asian cultures known for low obesity rates, fruit is more expensive than alternatives. I don't expect mass produced fruit to break the bank, but realistically it's one of the larger costs.
The entire internet discourse is filled with "Chrome evil, use Firefox". Go to any browser discussion on the internet and 99% of the thread is "just use Firefox or Firefox is the best". You would think that everyone uses Firefox.

The internet is a bubble. Reality is Firefox usage is pathetic. 32 MILLION people have *STOPPED* using Firefox in the past 4 years. The browser only has a 3.16% market share.

https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

Chrome is a good browser. Can be considered objectively better than Firefox given its superior performance, equivalent if not slightly better resource usage, web compatibility and integration with the Google ecosystem (which the vast majority of internet population use (excluding niche tech circles)).

I have no vendetta against Firefox. At the end of the day, it is just a browser and that is a personal preference. But people act like it is some sort of saviour that will bring them to the light. There is such an aggressive tribal mentality with browsers. It makes no sense as all browsers look the same, feel the same and have the same functionality. Just a matter of preference given your needs, and for 70% of the population, Chromium delivers.

Got banned from Amazon on my first purchase. For some reason the payment bounced even though everything should have been fine (correct payment details, enough money in the account etc).

Complained and got unbanned.

AWS has even a notary(!) based process to recover accounts.

It is pretty normal to recover bad things on non-Google sites by getting a human into the loop, especially if money is involved.
No it's not. We're talking about a silly pair of socks or a quirky avatar message, not, y'know, actual amounts of money. You can't pay rent or buy food or taxes with a pair of socks. Someone doing mapping for free, with the hopes of getting a pair of socks is much closer to this hypothetical mapping purist than a 3rd party contractor that doesn't care about cartography and is just doing it for the paycheck.

a) Imagine you are 13 years old and actually reading Terms of Services. Just imagine you are under 18.

b) It's legal speak mentioning "you cannot create a new account" but it doesn't say you can't try to fix the problems about your existing account. The problem is there is nobody to reach for mistakes or downright violations from Google's side. It doesn't work to help people with good intentions realizing their errors.

c) It's not mentioning that you will forever be blocked because you misrepresented your age for whatever the reason (just an unaware click is enough).

If Google was actually serious in enforcing the policy, they would just check any detail that could trigger this user could be below 18 years of age. As you read here, they don't spend much of an effort to avoid this scenario. AI works just to block you, not to avoid your downfall.

d) I wonder Google informs kids this much before making money on free content they upload on Youtube. It's not hard to see this is one-sided exploitation in business sense.

So... pretty clear, yeah.
