Yes. Also forces one to prioritize because both time and energy are precious resources.
Is there any evidence anywhere that Apple is doing, or is intending to do, the same things they've blocked others from doing?

Apple hasn't stopped anybody from advertising, they've only stopped them from doing overly-intrusive cross-app personal tracking. They don't seem to intend to do over-intrusive cross-app personal tracking themselves, so it seems to be a level playing field. So far, at least.
That was my first thought... if people don't use these very old elements any more, there's probably a good Chesterson's fence-type reason. Frames seemed really cool when I first saw them too, until I actually started trying to support them.
Since you're already making carve outs, here's $100,000 for your reelection campaign if you exclude Apple, too.

Ethical marketing is a hard problem to solve, I don't think the best solution is focusing on where it happens, instead it should be focused on how it's happening (targeting) and what the content is.
I have placed myself in therapy dozens of times up until now. Ultimately nothing has ever worked out up to now. There was always something that prevented further introspection, like the author describes. I am not sure that it is surmountable. Past therapists have told me that my relationship with them was not viable.

At some point I only went to therapy on someone else's insistence. At some other point I realized that I was only ever in therapy because I was terrified of those other people's eyes on me, insisting that I go or I can't reasonably integrate with their company based on becoming a person changed to their expectations. When I realized that, I lost interest entirely. I also reported my experiences with therapy to the other party, and predictably, they shunned me.

So there were two conclusions I could make: that maybe therapy isn't ever going to be as effective with me than with an average person, and that if someone's acceptance of me depends on my acceptance of therapy, then they are a lost cause.

At the same time, I can understand such a response. There are probably hundreds of comments on this site directed towards depressed engineers and others where the advice essentially amounts to "go to therapy." What would those people say if your response was "no, it doesn't work?" But the fact is, it doesn't work. At the same time, common sense surrounding therapy is too strong a force to be reckoned with on an average advice thread, and the culture is not going to overturn it. So your only option is to stay quiet, and be left alone.

This I think is one example of the "boundary" that the author describes, in trying to address that boundary with action.
Th article traces the development of computers back through the development of symbolic logic.

But not using a pretrained model you still need to take those things into account?
The next sentence says :

In fact, a cat with the Egyptian mitochondrial DNA was found in a Viking site in North Germany dating between 700 and 1000 A.D.

which means by the time Vikings were Vikings they already had cats, and could bring them along for their rides?
I also believe that in extremely dense cities perhaps car sharing could become the norm? Of course this only applies to urban centers.

I personally ride my escooter to the office, walk to most places, take the occasional taxi, and if I need a car, I use car sharing programs.
Right, because when you fail in a game, you just insert another $.25 and continue. When the crops fail for a real farmer, there is no spawn point to start over. It might literally cost them the farm.
I'm not so sure about that. In many states, if you sell a product, the government can compel you to put speech on your product (such as, for tobacco, giant warnings about addiction.) In my home state, Minnesota, advertising certain products (like adult-themed stores) is banned on highway billboards. If that is legal, you could maybe at least force a giant black-and-white text warning covering up half the side of TV saying, "Warning: Contains non-removable built-in advertising and user behavior tracking features." If you were really nasty, you could force a "sin tax" on the manufacturer for doing so - just charging 10% per product with built-in advertising would quickly end the practice. Treat advertising like tobacco - even that would be a start.
It is, but the core vulnerability of the chipset (Tegra X1) still exists AFAIK. Granted, you need to hardmod to jailbreak a Mariko model (launch models can be softmodded), but that's basically the same thing that happened with the 3DS.
Same with Google Images. If you keep hitting more and more results, it'll just recycle the top ones.
I agree with you but the thing is I don't remember doing any of that stuff to use privacy.com. I hope they just changed their policy and that I haven't forgotten about uploading identification and photos of myself. I normally would not tolerate that.

All I remember is using the plaid bank API which is itself probably very dangerous and a poor decision to allow.
Schizophrenia also has disaffected response and reduced emotional affect, btw. Folks who have schizophrenia sometimes considers this more debilitating than hallucinations, because they don't respond to antipsychotics.
This is a brilliant idea, however there are a few problems. The first is that for better or worse, you could bring down a lot of services, businesses, content creators (i.e. YouTube) and most likely a great many people will lose their job.

The second problem is, this is probably not going to fly against freedom of speech, because it's effectively censorship of a certain kind. And if it does pass, what could be the next flavor of communication to be outlawed? Maybe it's not something you're going to like.

I much prefer blocking ads (which I've come to be incredibly effective at), and still have the law allow people to advertise. And I hate ads with a passion! But the alternative could be worse.
Was Germany in effect driving the alternative sources of gas up in demand and subsequently price, that caused the energy crisis as electricity linked to price of gas for some mad reason.
Apparently it gets better for men if you manage to live to an advanced age: A college buddy recently told us that his widowed father is absolutely inundated with Tinder matches, because in his age range (70s-80s), the gender ratio is increasingly skewed female.

Not that this helps you much right now, I suppose…

With so few death cage fighters, why are there so many brawler games? With so few wanting to be soldiers, why are there so many shooters? Pedantic question to pedantic answers.

But my real answer would be that some people are over stimulated at work, and some are over. The understimulated one's I think gravitate to the "grand feats" type of games while those who are overstimulated at work are more looking for either laid back or mundane games to play. All these "_ life sim" games are generally in that mundane category and that's the audience most captive for these forms of entertainment.
Hmm, around me, most of the paid charging is close to home prices. Although there's a few that are crazy prices.
> Apple doesn't limit anyone from advertising; they just limit third-party tracking, no?

They don’t limit third-party tracking either. They limit third-party tracking without the user’s consent. The only thing advertisers need to do is ask the user for permission to track them.
FB can't track every time you open Pinterest on an iPhone.

Apple can and does.
How do you verify the information being put into the blockchain is correct?
Mendix is a "Low-code application development platform". So, a self serving finding if I've ever heard of one.
Actually most of these are things that people used to use in the 90's, but stopped using because they didn't give you as much control as you needed.
They've been doing it for years now with Apple music, and other stuff. Why do you think they will be stopped now?
It's been described as "the personality disorder that lacks a personality". It's a deficit disorder, because the person lacks certain traits that you'd expect to see in a "normal" person.

It meets the requirements for a disorder, since it's a deviation from social norms and can interfere with a person's life to various degrees. SzPD doesn't get a lot of attention, so the diagnosis itself isn't desperately well developed. It's more of a baffling psychological curiosity to many. Something they don't quite know how to deal with.
That appears to be the one bright side of the war. Hopefully it will accelerate the migration to renewables.

I recently built Conifer, open-source test parallelization solution for Cypress. I also authored a case-study here: https://conifer-test.github.io/
For me it is because I found no way to own a real farm. I would love to have one, but couldn't figure out how to get one.

Sad part of that is that I have a bunch of relatives that do own farms, but have no interest in farming, the only reason they have those farms is so they can wait the land price to raise before they sell it eventually.
But they're not set to disabled by default like 3rd party tracking is.

Gee, I wonder why...
Not sure what GitHub uses internally, but Elasticsearch has a default limit of 10,000 records unless you update the index with a parameter. I imagine a lot of apps have a limit for this reason.
When I got my reMarkable two years ago I tried their app’s vector output: it was awful, because they were using completely the wrong technique: taking intersecting paths, taking the union, and then simplifying the path very lossily, which particularly ruins intersections because of the union step.

It’s possible they’ve improved the technique now, but I’d be a little surprised if they have, given that it amounts to throwing away the entire thing and starting from scratch.

There are a few open-source libraries to convert the .rm format to SVG. None are good for anything but the fineliner. I’ve written the closest one to decent for tools like the pen (though I haven’t got round to publishing it), but it still lacks the texture (pretty much unavoidable) and is thus never going to be excellent. SVG just lacks the necessary primitives.
You can achieve consistency using a transactional outbox and "homegrown" solutions the following way.

Make sure postgresql is configured with `synchronous_commit = remote_apply`

* Create a postgresql logical replication slot which creates a postgresql snapshot in time.

* Start a repeatable read transaction with the snapshot id

* Store all relevant data from the snapshot in sqlite / kv store

* Start listening for WAL changes ( json or protobufs )

* Receive WAL change, mark to postgresql the "write" position of the slot

* Process the data and query all relevant data for materialization from sqlite/kv

* Send data to elasticsearch

* Mark to postgresql the "flush" and "apply" position of the slot

This way you achieve consistency using "homegrown" or Kafka connect possibly too.

Sorry, but that didn't read as sarcasm to me?

Or, unless the "swapping growth and prosperity" is in reference to Brexit and is not a reference to supporting Ukraine, or is a reference to short lived gains by depending on Russian energy sources.

That definition is already antiquated, since that shift had already mostly happened by around 5 years on most internet platforms (internet culture evolves quick these days). As other commenters have mentioned, it's now "evolving" to be more or less synonymous with "joke"
How big is the gap? I did some testing & found that so long as it's similar domain (eg don't pre-train for COCO on X-Rays) it still helps. https://blog.roboflow.com/transfer-learning-similarity/

The intuition for this is that lines, colors, textures, shapes are all general concepts that can be learned from a different domain & used in the earlier layers of the model to build up to more complex features.
We build a lot of high tech products, for example cars / trucks / busses as well as tooling.

The Netherlands alone - a tiny little country - are world leaders in Yacht production, Food (per m2) and via ASML cutting-edge chip fabs.

Germany, our neighbours, are the production power house of Europe. They make basically everything the USA does and a lot of things produced in China. They're more quality focused than China (and to some extent the USA too).

Location: Revelstoke, Canada <-> Costa Rica

Remote only: 10+ years experience, 7 remote

Technologies : C, C++, WASM, WebGL/OpenGL, JS, TS

Interests : compilers, runtimes, graphics, 3D, 2D, performance, data streaming

Hello, my name is Jesse. I'm looking to solve hard technical problems. Examples of fields that interest me are developer tooling (compilers and static analyzers really get me going), 3D graphics, data streaming.

I'm a competent C and C++ programmer. The C++ spec weighs a lot, so I'm hesitant to call myself an expert, but I have a good working knowledge of both languages.

I've also been working on the foundations of a 3D game engine for ~6 years, which has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It compiles on Windows, Linux and Web. I chose to build it without libraries (Handmade Hero style) which began as a learning exercise, but ended up teaching me the value of simplicity.

I've also done a significant amount of web development, having started my career as a web-developer. I can confidently navigate large JS/TS/Rails applications, publish web APIs, build frontends that consume them, and reason about their performance.

In more recent history I've been working on a metaprogramming system for C. Think C++ templates, but fast to compile and much more powerful. It turns out I have a passion for compilers. I'm also actively contributing to Oil, a new bash runtime and POSIX compliant shell.

Lastly, I'm a systems programmer at heart. I love having direct access to the CPU and needing to understand the hardware architecture, as opposed to the internals of an interpreter, to write well-working and well-performing code. I strive to understand the core of what I'm working on.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer! I split my time between Revelstoke, Canada and Costa Rica.

95 is a bit extreme, agreed. I've been perfectly comfortable in 400 feet places in Japan, layout permitting as you say, some buildings have really funny and strange structures.

Some of the samples in the link from the company the NYT mentions [1] are rather cute though, I have to say.

I'd generally agree with your take, but I think it is a bit more nuanced. I'd say wether gamification is a benefit in the context of enterprise software heavily depends on the kind of software.

Are you trying to gamify core job responsibilities for employees? Stay away from gamification and try to build an application that works well with a polished user experience. If it is ones job to work with that application, having a well working application is usually joyful enough and gamification would usually just add unnecessary friction/distractions to an otherwise polished user experience.

But I think gamification can be a net benefit if the software is trying to create a net benefit outside of core job responsibilities. I think gamifying something like energy saving, waste management, e learning, etc. could have a net benefit. Although there are definitely people working in that field, substantial improvements in that area usually require contributions from anyone.

You're welcome!
I think if you jumped forward by tens, you might see some results on some of those sites. Skipping forward in a search index is exactly the same on the server side as moving incrementally, and they likely didn't want to do 10000 pages for one request.

Or, more likely, you can do what the supreme court has done in the past with the Roth test [1], argue “you know it when you see it”, and dodge the challenge of rigorously defining the topic while still allowing for some prosecutions to occur.

Does this fix how much of an insane memory hog materialize is? Some queries are just impossible if you can’t use disk. This is why I was forced to stick with Flink. Even though materialize makes things appear stupid simple and easy with SQL, I found that you can only do the most simple streaming views with it. You can’t even do unique counts with this for very long without breaking—and there’s no probabilistic alternatives.

Bad for big data. Great for small and simple data sets. But who is using Kafka with small data?

Also they do not integrate at all with custom data types in Postgres IME. E.g. an enumeration in your table will mean materialize can’t read the table as a source. Lame.

> and don't show them ads

Wee, I'm tunneling by browser session through IP address on a cloud provider so I don't have to see ads!

Meanwhile, ads are shown to my cracked residential router which has been enlisted into a botnet.
This is the real answer. Every guy I know who REALLY has a huge axe to grind with online dating will show me their profile and they will have low quality photos with little effort put in to their profile itself. If someone can't tell what the hell you actually look like or get a good feel for your real personality then why are they going to be interested?

If anything money should be spent on improving the profile itself (you could hire a professional photographer to take some "candid" looking nice photos of yourself + go to a higher end hair cutter, get your clothes tailored, etc etc). All of these things would probably also help you in real life. Worst case you have some great LinkedIn photos or something to send your family and some great fitting clothes to wear to dinner with friends.
Reading comprehension... can be improved
While your statement is factually correct, you may be surprised at just how easy it is to be listed on a "stock exchange". While the larger, well known exchanges have a higher barrier to entry, there are lots of smaller exchanges willing to list all sorts of things.
Yes. You will find a lot of half-hearted "interests" melting away.
I mean the main differentiator of Apple was the lack of Ads and tracking compared to google for me. If Apple starts hammering ads and providing tracking data and selling spots like google does with admob/android then is it really worth the premium anymore?
I have a NAS and it works pretty well since I mostly don't have to worry about it. Backup scripts talk to it automatically. The TV can read stream from it directly (I'm a huge fan of borrowing DVDs at the library and making them available for the NAS), I git push stuff to it, etc.

I know a NAS is not what you're asking about, but it goes give you a huge % of the features of a home server with only 5% of the effort.
No, you can have SzPD and also a life partner. It can be as easy as getting married due to societal pressure, going with the flow of a relationship can often be significantly easier than fighting off questions about being a permanent single person. Relationships don't have to be lovely, loving things of deep attachment. They can also be points of stability, pooling resources, and taking advantage of societal carve-outs.
I think that this is a totally valid approach. I merely prefer using privacy because it locks a card to a vendor and I can set limits (or simply pause a card) per vendor trivially.

In fact, this weekend I got a notice from wilsoncombat that their payment processor had been hacked and card info had been leaked, which I had suspected when I received a notification that a charge ($0.15) had been declined on the card I used with them in March. The charge was declined, and I was able to close that card and not have to redo my card info in every place I have a card linked.
