To execute a Python script as a Mail rule action? Horrible.

You need to write an AppleScript which calls `do shell script` to run the Python script, passing data to the Python script via argv or temp file (`do shell script` doesn’t support stdin so you’ve got the added pain of ensuring correct shell quoting and/or file wrangling).

Also, if if you want to pass anything more complex than short simple strings to the Python script then you’ll need to encode that data into XML or JSON which Python can trivially parse out of the box. AS’s own stdlib support is dismal, however, so you’ll need to roll your own code or rummage around online for third-party AS libraries to encode the Mail data in one of those formats.

Be aware too that `do shell script` does not read your `.zprofile` environment settings, so you’ll have to specify the full path to your `python3` interpreter wherever you’ve got that installed.
I just went to Bing and searched for "timer". Nothing. It's bizarre, if Microsoft wanted to make people use their search engine by choice (rather than force/trick them to set it as default) then why don't they hire the right people to tweak it to make it more appealing?

Disregard others is a high risk high reward move. And doing it too much would ruin your career.

Most of the time, listening to others can avoid your stumbling into dead ends, reinventing the wheel, or losing touch with important problems.

Of course, the biggest breakthroughs will often come from disregarding the existing paradigm, but the art is both believing in the current theory (so you can make progress within it) and disbelieving that it is the full story (so you can make the breakthroughs).

Most development is not done over MLs, that's a fact. The percentage of ML-based development done over time is shrinking. So I'd say the democratic vote is not one in favour of MLs.

I have this sense that Australia and Texas have this "failure to truly grasp scale" thing in common, though obviously Texas is much smaller. Sparse population density probably has something to do with it.

Even lots of Texans don't really consider how far away West Texas is from the parts of Texas most of us live in[1]. There's a sign on the westbound side of I-10 just inside the TX/LA border that I love. It says

Beaumont 17
El Paso 857

Both are cities straight ahead, on the same road, in the same state.

[1] A simple majority of Texans live in either greater Houston or greater Dallas-Fort Worth. 70% of us live in either those two places or somewhere in the Austin or San Antonio areas.

The only big city west of those is El Paso, which has fewer than a million people in its entire metro area.
Which is a great analogy that shows how difficult the argument is to decide.

If you take a scissor to a reproduction of a piece of art you have not created yourself (and for which the protection timeframe has not ended yet), create snippets, and rearrange them, this can be considered an Urheberrecht violation[1]. No one would consider doing the same to a newspaper the same.

[1] The distinction here is relevant: German copyright is not like US copyright - it can't be sold away, you can only license out individual derived rights, and it also allows for protection against "abuse of a work", e.g. doing something with it the original creator disapproves of[2]. If that always applies to the removal of ads has not been decided in a final decision.

Not too long ago the streetcars and buses in Amsterdam were plastered with huge ads for online gambling services, often aimed at young people. Think about it: the public transport, which might just be a public service paid for by tax money and ticket fare, is literally subsidized by youths with a gambling addiction. This is an extreme example perhaps, but it illustrates (besides a complete disregard for citizens' wellbeing) how ads are just a way of indirectly taking money from people.

It's often framed as if putting up ads is just a way of getting free money out of thin air, as you do when you say "without ads [...] you'd also be able to afford way less things". But that money is always coming from somewhere.

> Do you close your eyes walking around town any time you go by a store front, you see a roadside ad, a bench covered in ads, a taxi backseat, public toilets, any sports events and jerseys, TV, newspapers, magazines, radio... Are you morally obligated to get rid of those too? If you truly believe this, how do you function in society?

I truly believe it, I hope we'll one day be able to outlaw at least billboards and the like not related to any business storefront. But I try not to let it get to me too much, because as you rightly say, you can't really live that way..

I would find the rate of intelligent life ≈ 1 per galaxy an incredible coincidence.

Considering the absurdly huge amount of planets/time and the absurdly low chance of life happening, I think it's almost impossible for the rate to be close to 1.

Perhaps it might be much lower than 1 though.

Count the number of GNOME forks and the number of KDE forks , then also consider the reason of those forks. Something happen with GNOME3, something that spliting one big community in more smaller ones, I am not sure if the "vision" is good if the first step is to kick out a big chunk of the community that do not agree 100% with your vision and half of your left community is screwing your vision with their unsupported customization. But it happens in other projects too, when big ego gain control, they will not accept they are wrong, then they are kicked out and you get back to normal (google the KDE cachew thingy)
<edit> I should point out that we were measuring brick & mortar sales, not clickthroughs. So no cross site tracking involved. Maybe that's the easiest way to clear things up for you? </edit>

If you look at a distribution or histogram of ROIs from our thousands of studies, you will see that it approximates a gaussian distribution...right up until the left hand side hits $1.00, where it looks like the distribution hit a brick wall.

Same thing for a distribution of incremental lifts, except that the brick wall is right above 0% lift.

It's a discontinuity that shouldn't exist, like the Polish high school exit exams. See if you can guess what the minimum score to pass* was:

https://imgur.com/4nnbyru

Except, unlike that distribution, there is virtually nothing to the left of the discontinuity at my company.

Without talking about the tech behind it, what I can say is that the fraud is not occurring on the impressions and tracking side. It's in the statistical tools that infer the incrementality of the purchasing behavior. Seriously, I urge you to listen to the Freakonomics episodes I mentioned.

*The minimum score was 30. This is pretty damning evidence that teachers were juicing the tests of kids who filed by one or two questions.

The use case for the ReMarkable is not the same as the use case for an iPad. There are other e-ink writing tablets out there besides ReMarkable obviously, but iPad did not at all satisfy what I was looking for in a note taking/paper reading tablet. It was like a glorified second phone with a shit writing interface. Very glad I switched to e-ink.

...just found the additional separation mentally helpful too in switching tabs.

I actually mention this in my post that I linked.

Yes, another of their missions is to facilitate aviation.

What I meant is that in my case, the default decision couldn't be to give me a medical. So I should have limited the "safety comes first" to my case.

A more charitable interpretation is to say that pilots without issues are defined as safe, which they are even if they are not in practice. They're safe enough.
Closing mailing lists is another step away from the free Internet. Mailing lists have searchable, multiple, non-centralized archives and are harder to censor.

Discourse is centralized, moderators delete messages, rename and manipulate threads. The inner circle has all the power. Upvotes induce groupthink and cliques.
Sure that's better. What would be even better would be support:

- CI integration

- Rich markup, for images etc.

- Simple patch management

- Edits to messages

- Issue tracking
see? my point.
Can someone educate me why not instead buy an iPad for $50 (18%) more? Currently 9th generation iPad lists at $329 and reMarkable 2 at $279. Both devices have similar form factor, except iPad is slightly heavier. Yet, iPad is infinitely more capable compared to a reMarkable 2.

<<you don't have the right to cost that website money (bandwidth, etc.) without anything in exchange.

It is a fascinating concept. If I put a blog up, I have a right to demand that people pay me one way or the other. But then as a person that visits that site, that person has no right to say nope. Sold. Pay me about $3.50 for this nugget.

<You don't like it? Don't ever go (back?) to that website again, I'm sure there's some blacklist extensions out there.

> because it treated certain groups of people differently, even though they were in the same situation.

The judge can find whatever they want but to pretend that a sportsball player is the same as a city employee is obviously bogus.

EO 62 [1] very clearly layed out the difference in their situation as concert performers and sportsball players will increase the economic activity of NYC. A city employee just doesn't have the same economic impact as the exempted classes.

Look, the judge is just again vaccination requirements and will find whatever reason they want to justify their position against them. This is pretty much layed out when the judge goes on how the city could've kept its testing strategy despite the fact that
the judge doesn't at all justify what effect a testing strategy would have or what effect a vaccination strategy would have or how the two would achieve similar goals or what those goals were (i.e. the judge has no problem making an arbitrary and conspicuous claim about how the state should've ran itself).

Maybe the overuse of Compare instead of ==, <, or > is from enterprise devs who've done a lot of Java work? Every time I step away from Java for 5+ years and come back, I forget that one has to use string.equals() because using == will generate incorrect results. I imagine people who use it more frequently could easily have the opposite problem.

Costs grew due to a hiring binge (that can be easily stopped, or even reversed - it’s entirely in Google’s hands) and to increased costs for their data centers (hardware, electricity) which are cyclical.

The question is not if the exercises would behave identically, but if you can test the objective in a container. For example, you can totally test, screw up, and fix DNS in a container. I would think that "try to figure out if you're in a container or VM" would be exactly the same as it is right now.
Maybe then we should consider not kneecapping our economy and driving people into poverty? The worst thing for the environment is poverty. I'm convinced most of the measures put in place to fight climate change have been a net negative to the environment, when you consider how much they are impoverishing people and thus driving more people to disregard environmental concerns for survival.

It turns out after some reading that a reflective BO-PET should be reflective enough initially but will yellow and become brittle within fewer than 1000 hours of sun exposure. So as a very short-term use in an emergency if it's what's available to build a solar still, oven, or forge it could do the trick if it's the only thing available. Some metal foil should be far more durable though.

This is the best argument. If they send me an exploit it isn’t expected for me to run it blindly because of some unwritten contract, right? Once the payload is sent to me it is my right to execute it as I wish. That is the unwritten contract.
> Try to imagine what a setback it would be to try to discover smelting or electricity underwater. It’s not an impossibility, but I suspect it’s inherently a small fraction of underwater societies that discover it at all.

It's interesting to think about. If you live entirely underwater you have no reason to harness fire, or develop even simple technologies like the wheel. If you don't harness fire, will you even be able develop basic metallurgy (bronze, iron, steel)? If you don't work with fire or metal you don't develop steam power. Without steam you don't have an industrial revolution, without an industrial revolution you lack the prerequisites to develop internal combustion or heavier than air flight, and without internal combustion you probably don't develop chemical rockets.

I suppose it's possible that an aquatic civilization could take a totally different path to space than we did, but they'd definitely be playing the space race on hard mode.
Yeah well Feynman supposedly publicly claimed the HBT result was wrong before later apologizing, and also is quoted as having claimed he learned that he doesn't have to feel responsible for the world. Sounds like he's not exactly the picture of an unconditional advice sage. The advice to disregard others needs to have conditions placed on it. When is ignorance ever a good idea? More important than that is to love yourself and live with confidence instead. That was probably the real issue at hand.
I honestly don’t get it. I block ads because I don’t want to see them, because I find them annoying and distracting. I don’t need any other rationale.

They’re being shown on my computer, which I control, so of course I make changes to it that enhance the experience for me. If you don’t want me to have the ability to do that, it is unwise to send me the content in the first place. I haven’t agreed to look at ads; the website owners put the content in a public place.
