Yes, now I can't help but sit back and chuckle or even laugh out loud with each new Google headline. They are screwing themselves in the long-term, the Google brand is driven into the ground and quickly becoming trash because of their inability to see things through and commit to anything other than Google Ads.

Remember Google+? "This is the future", they said. Now it's deleted. Over and over for so many new products. What a huge waste of time.

As a consumer, Google has become an obviously poor investment of my time.

> For many users, that cat video would be heartbreaking to lose, and they don’t have term papers to worry about.

Depends on where that cat video is / how it ended up on the disk.

The user explicitly saved it to their user-profile Downloads directory? Yeah, sure, the user might care a lot about preserving that data. There's intent there.

The user's web browser implicitly saved it into the browser's cache directory? No, the user absolutely doesn't care. That directory is a pure transparent optimization over just loading the resource from the URL again; and the browser makes no guarantees of anything in it surviving for even a few minutes. The user doesn't even know they have the data; only the browser does. As such, the browser should be able to tell the filesystem that this data is discardable cache data, and the filesystem should be able to apply different storage policies based on that.

This is already true of managed cache/spool/tmp directories vis-a-vis higher-level components of the OS. macOS, for example, knows that stuff that's under ~/Library/Caches can be purged when disk space is tight, so it counts it as "reclaimable space"; and in some cases (caches that use CoreData) the OS can even garbage-collect them itself.

So, why not also avoid making these files a part of backups? Why not avoid checksumming them? Etc.

Yeah, I think people underestimate the compelling nature of diverse expression. Its more fun to hang out in a game with emotes than it is to hang out in a voice call.

Will headsets replace zoom? I can't say. There are other convenience factors there. But hanging out in a virtual place is empirically compelling.
One of the biggest benefits of the Pico is it has PIO cores so you can still bitbang data like Arduino with tight timings while running everything else on a modern ARM core. Without this, I do not see this Pine board meeting the same needs.
Get a child. It will make you value good sleep so much more that you will drink a lot less automatically. Also it disrupts your usual social life quite effectively so you won't meet your drinking pals anymore.

In case that is not enough simply get another child. And another one, until you are sober.
Back when I ordered a Quest 2 I had to use a space somewhere in my zip code for it to work. Like "123 45" or "12 345". Do not remember the variant that worked!
I have Quest 2 and I get extremely sick after only 15-30 minutes, like a sickness that lasts for a few hours and makes me feel like I'm extremely tired. No wonder it sat in shelf since then. And no, it was not 1 application that was doing that.
Meetings in VR are genuinely far less draining than Zoom/Teams calls.
Both of the links that you are sharing have no strong point to support your claim. Basically you are saying those screenshots are fake by quoting another person who is saying the same.
> It seems this can detect facial expressions from cameras

This is doable for some years now. AWS, Azure & GCP + other smaller companies offer APIs for just such a thing and there are also Python models that do this detection. This is by no means anything extraordinary if I understand what you are suggesting.
In what way? I see it as exactly the opposite of Apple's business. Where Apple makes services in order to sell more hardware, Meta (like Google) is in the ad business, so their hardware is ultimately just a way to attract more eyeballs.

I'm interested in the question of who decides which attributes are relevant, and which values of those attributes shall be favored.

I think there's the potential for self-contradiction / hypocrisy by those persons, depending on the particular logic they use.
I wonder about what happens when people pass the tipping point of prioritizing the virtual world over the physical world. That is even bleaker than trying to surmise who, in the end, might "own it" because once it's to that point we've already lost it all.
you'd have to edit the hosts file on every single device you want to access that domain. personally, i wouldn't even know how to do that on any of my mobile devices.
Not quite how you tested it. The `move` is actually copying the variable:

fn main() {
let mut functions = vec![];

let mut i = 0;
functions.push(Box::new(move || println!("Hello {i}")) as Box<dyn Fn()>);
i = 1;
functions.push(Box::new(move || println!("Hello {i}")));
i = 2;
functions.push(Box::new(move || println!("Hello {i}")));

for func in functions {
func();
}
}

But the most equivalent code would be the following which doesn't compile:

fn main() {
let mut functions = vec![];

for i in 0..10 {
functions.push(Box::new(|| println!("Hello {i}")))
}

for func in functions {
func();
}
}
You probably already have this. Nearly every ISP has been delivering home gateways with DHCP and DNS built in, and DHCP-registration into the local DNS cache. So <your-computer>.lan or <your-computer>.home are likely candidates. Check your settings to find out.

Besides DNS-based naming there is Multicast DNS (Bonjour/Avahi/ZeroConf) and NetBIOS naming (which still exist and works on most operating systems that have Samba or something similar).

In any case, you don't need a remote service like Cloud9 or Tailscale to any of this. Normal networking has done this for decades.

The next step beyond this is running a more capable DNS system in your home network. Generally this takes the shape of a DNS forwarder service running on a router or server. It could be as simple as a PiHole or OpnSense firewall, or however complicated you might want to make it.
> So minority candidates are given an advantage in getting their foot in the door, but still have to prove themselves qualified for the job by doing well in interviews.

Discrimination in selecting who to interview is absolutely a form of discrimination. Imagine I tell my recruiters to exclusively interview white Catholics, and I respond "well, those white Catholics still had to pass the skill-based interview. Had we interviewed any non-whites or non-catholics, the interview would be unbiased towards them"

Is that a non-discriminatory hiring process? The fact that non-catholics and non-whites weren't even given a chance to interview is rendered irrelevant by the fact that the White Catholics that were still had to pass a skill-based interview?
Most of these (Kosher Butcher for example) are going to be very small companies and these kinds of requirements don't usually kick in till you have a certain minimum level of employees since there is an assumption in most states that very small businesses will mostly hire (extended) family.

> - "Black" — self-explanatory.

I wasn't willing to argue this before because my issue was not with the adjective. But actually black holes are not really black, they emit radiation.

> - "Hole" — things fall in and don't come out (more or less).

But things fall into any massive object like planets or stars, so "hole" is ambiguous. Things also fall out of holes, such as holes in a ceiling or screw holes.

> Plus they look like holes on those 2d representations of space-time.
Seems reasonable to me.

It is a fair point to say that the hole of a black hole is a 4 dimensional hole, except that space-time is itself a 4 dimensional hole, leading to more ambiguity.
Maybe my app is too simple, but I have had no issues with developing for, submitting, and shipping downloads (with infrequent updates) in the Apple app store.

On the other hand, we have local biodiversity regulations which require certain land to be grazed and/or cut (as for hay), since the 'meadow' biomes and the associated birds and insects have adapted to the many centuries of land being farmed and can't survive if the plains aren't grazed and are left to just grow.
The first post is not very fair at all. I personally am in the amazing camp, this is a rough diamond, a prototype, from here it will be refined and optimised. The first poster is trying to compare it to two humans in dialog, which is unrealistic for something so new. It very much looks to me though, it will get there and get there shortly.
Not really, it's basically circular.

The selection of who does and who doesn't belong to a "diverse" category is based on how frequent these people happen to be in the population (for example, Asians men are not "diverse", because there's plenty of them in tech - but Asian women are, because they're far less frequent). So, by definition, the "diverse" candidates will always be a minority. It can't be fixed. Even if we somehow reach perfect parity according to existing criteria (no one category is less frequent than the other, so no category can be chosen as the new "diverse" one), new dimensions of oppression can always be invented (e.g. tall/short, rich parents/poor parents etc.) or just created as intersections of existing ones. The game will never end.
I've read elsewhere that claiming water damage is a common tactic by their employees to avoid honoring the warranty.

IIRC there are moisture indicator stickers scattered around on the internal components, so I don't know how they get off claiming this without using these as proof -- but I've seen myself from other laptop dissections that these can change color if they're old, possibly from gradual ambient humidity?

> It's telling that this person['s]... take away wasn't that they should fix [Microsoft's] broken recruiting pipeline but that the corporate policy was what was wrong.

Why is it telling? He's managing a team, and the policy is the more immediate and fixable obstacle to him solving his business hiring problem. Even if Microsoft was capable of "fixing" it's recruiting pipeline, that could never realistically happen in time for him to fill that role.
This might be an attempt at damage and narrative control. The statements made on Twitter reflect recent RT propaganda disseminated directly from the Russian government. For Musk to have independently nailed all of these talking points as if RT was directly using his account was bizarre as an onlooker over the past week.

> In his most recent note, Bremmer said Musk had told him about two weeks earlier that he’d discussed with Putin the president’s minimum requirements for ending the war. Those conditions, which mirrored the proposals Musk put forward in his tweets on Oct. 3, included Ukraine ceding Crimea, accepting a formal state of neutrality and recognizing Russia’s annexation of Luhansk and Donetsk.
The question to me is why we should expect Meta to compete effectively in the high-end/high-margin space with Apple, which it sounds like they will be by sometime next year.

I’m struggling to think of any aspect of this product—save social—where Apple hasn’t demonstrated marked superiority to Meta over a decade. Software. Hardware. Logistics. Supply Chain. Marketing.

Is the “Social Network” enough to overcome all that? I doubt it.

Why should it be a treat for occasions? Why do you think the way you enjoy coffee should be the way everyone does? Why should we leave it to the pros? Should we give up cooking too and eat out every meal? Your opinion on this subject is a little bizarre imo.

I personally don't really like any coffee other than an espresso and for money and time and satisfaction we'd rather make them at home. It's not that hard, there's plenty of info online.

>2. source code looks a bit old search /* @flow */

The codebase is in a hybrid setup of Flow and Typescript right now as we've been incrementally moving to Typescript. We've been opportunistically updating code to Typescript as we go. Both parts are still typechecked and we still see either system as a massive improvement over untyped Javascript. There is some awkwardness at the boundaries requiring some types to be specified again in the other system, but neither has any real concepts the other doesn't so it's not as painful as one might think. We do expect to get the codebase to pure Typescript in the future; we've recently finished a large conversion of an internal non-InboxSDK codebase of ours.

>3. https://github.com/InboxSDK/InboxSDK/blob/main/package.json dev dependencies mixed with everything else

That package.json isn't actually part of the published npm package. Only the files in packages/core/ are published in the npm package. The project wasn't originally set up to be published on npm and when we started publishing to npm, we wanted the package to have a separate readme and directory structure from the main then-private repo so we set up that separate directory for publishing it. There may be some room to streamline that setup, especially since now there's no public/private split.
Sounds like the people visiting the website are reduced to a form of entertainment for the author, like a reverse-zoo, where the animals are watching the people that come visit.

I imagine an evolved version of this, where the computer speaks the location of every visitor, their OS, browser, etc. Maybe tied into an Ad Network you could get the visitor's name and address spoken aloud, maybe even their picture. Voyeuristically watching the people coming to your website, from your bedroom. Hmm, that one was cute, let's send them a message.

I do think that one of the prerequisites of (firm/soft)ware being good is being open source. For hardware to be good, I do believe it has to be well documented.

If we go by those two requirements, we can see how it works. We can fix things ourselves. And most importantly, anyone can create their own good firmware, without the need for the system to be designed in a holistic way.

Yeah, "Bring your own domain" is a super cool feature idea. We could even re-use Acme HTTP-01 or DNS-01 challenges to verify the domain.

The study is highlighting how overeating is not the ONLY variable to consider if someone is obese, but surely... it is a necessary one, at least in most cases. Is there any case that will result in getting fatter from reducing calories? They mention it's about insulin resistance, and that happens after you overeat at least carbs and sugars. So overeating is always a factor, especially considering how many processed foods are high calorie, which means it's easier to overeat calories.

I would even go as far to say that in modern times almost everyone is overeating in terms of calories. Three meals a day is a lot, and it's why so many gain weight after 30. We have grown accustomed to thinking getting old means getting fat, but I think that's just because of how calorie dense our modern diet is.
"Prior to DART’s impact, it took Dimorphos 11 hours and 55 minutes to orbit its larger parent asteroid, Didymos. Since DART’s intentional collision with Dimorphos on Sept. 26, astronomers have been using telescopes on Earth to measure how much that time has changed. Now, the investigation team has confirmed the spacecraft’s impact altered Dimorphos’ orbit around Didymos by 32 minutes, shortening the 11 hour and 55-minute orbit to 11 hours and 23 minutes. This measurement has a margin of uncertainty of approximately plus or minus 2 minutes."

We have objective evidence, through numerous studies, that just "being black" produces disadvantage during the hiring process, and data which shows the outcomes of that disadvantage in fairly straight-forward terms:

https://hbr.org/2017/10/hiring-discrimination-against-black-...

https://www.americanprogress.org/article/african-americans-f...

The discrimination faced by Black Americans is because of their skin color, not their socio-economic status. And while a higher socio-economic status can help to offset that discrimination, we have no evidence it eliminates it.

I'm sincerely confused about this comment.

Nope. Get rid of all of them. Private schools are just legal segregation. Forcing rich people's kids to go to school with poor and average kids will give their parents a huge incentive to lobby for the increased quality of public schools. Lottery systems would make it even better. Education and healthcare being made available to everybody at the exact same availability and quality level would majorly improve both systems.
