Imo, as long as you clearly say "here's the choice: opt in or opt out, we are doing XYZ" in clear words, it's fair.

It doesn't really matter whether on each tap you fire a specific event ("TapOnList", "TapOnPurchase") or whether you log all app interactions (where the user taps, are they going around the app not finding something?). Or does it? Where do you cross the line?

If this app would be Facebook I would see your grievances - devs could see personal data. But let's assume it's an app where there's barely any personal data, or specific views do not have this logging enabled.

Nice round of victim-blaming. Don't like the random mob vigilantism? Well, it's probably your fault and that's the modern society for you, and again your fault for not embracing it enthusiastically. In fact, you are a bad person for it! Nice.
It used to work on Windows but for some reasons nowadays I get trouble to make Elixir works with the OTP version the installer gets.

I couldn't get Elixir 1.14 to work in September actually and reverted to 1.13.4, maybe I should try again.
I actually saw them at 100% CPU with RAM to spare.
You don't pay $100 on Zenni for simple glasses. I bought a pair of glasses there with metal frame, anti-glare and anti-fog coating for under $20 with shipping.
Smart, made bank FIRST then going to do something else.

> Giving typical males with low testosterone supplemental same-sex hormones is not even settled medicine

Which is relevant to this discussion because .. why? Just because there isn't an accepted evidence-based standard of care for X doesn't mean there can't be an accepted evidence-based standard of care for Y.

(I don't know what "settled medicine" means here, given that standards of care can and do change.)

> giving postmenopausal women estrogen has many issues as well

Yes, that standard of care has changed based on evidence.

> puberty blockers

Which are reversible. As my linked-to fact sheet points out.

> they haven’t been studied long enough for my taste

I think I'm warranted in trusting the opinion of the 7 or so medical organizations I listed far over your opinion.

How long will be enough to make you happy? There's been, what, 100 years of studies on the topic? And I pointed out the relevant WPATH Standards of Care started in 1977.

How long is enough?

> there will be significant numbers of people that regret their decision

How many is "significant"?

Do significant numbers of people regret their tattoos? Their plastic surgery? Their chemotherapy? Their lottery pick? Does that justify stopping all of those activities?

And, as I pointed out, by NOT getting the standard of care, the amount of depression and suicide ideation increases. How many regret NOT being able to get the medically recognized appropriate standard of care because politicians prevented it due to transphobia?

> Because Biden has unabashedly doubled down on intersectional identity politics

Every single one of those people had a background which, had they been white straight men, would have been generally acceptable for their position.

That's a far cry from a claim that they must be incompetent and were picked only for theig "intersectional identity politics".

You can live in a house at least. I am not sure what one does with billions of FTT tokens.
I think the best thing you can do is resistance training exercise. Also going from a wide keyboard (full size Apple keyboard with number pad) to a narrow keyboard (narrow Apple Keyboard no number pad) worked for me. For a while I was doing the exercise in the video below and it helped me but I think just regular weight training can do wonders. I mostly just do shoulder, back, arms, and chest exercises and still haven’t had the pain I used to have. Hope you find something that works for you!

I assume that's $100 including the lenses—seems like a reasonable price for something that requires custom high-precision manufacturing, although it would be great for the price to come down even further over time.

I have a moderately strong prescription (with slight differences for each eye) and I got the best glasses I've ever had from Zenni for $72.90 + tax. Could have been $60 without a presumably overpriced anti-reflective coating. I don't remember how much my glasses cost from traditional sources, but I think it was on the order of $200–$300 after insurance.
Everything I learned in my first chem class was just bad rehashing of electron orbits and configurations from physics. I'm sure things get more interesting with organic chemistry, but the classical stuff/basic elements I thought were easier to understand just thinking about the physics of their atomic structure.
> You can’t possibly create anything meaningful that would speak to people who really consume art, because those people are young.

This seems an unusual statement. I consume a lot more art in my 40s than I did in my 20s for example.

As a counter-example, Stan Lee only began drawing superheros when he was 43. Hard to argue his work isn't consumed by young people.

And of course Paul Cézanne only got his first exhibition when hr was 56.

Certainly if you have been asked for help then offering advice is fine. But often people will jump straight to offering advice without even establishing that the person wants help, and I wanted to call attention to that behavior.
I work in identity and access in a shop where active directory, sql server, and other MS stuff is prevalent (There's Linux too, but fate dropped me in Windows land). I'd never fight someone to make them love it, but it's been abundantly useful to me.

Also, I started with very little scripting experience and very little programming experience. I'm someone that learns tools best when I have something to either build or fix with them. Because PowerShell has access to .net, it ended up pushing me into C#.
Plastic People (Oxford Street or Shoreditch) was indeed an amazing experience. I went a lot. But its soundsystem was not quite on the same level as Fabric’s or The Ends - those two both seemed to have the sound system more integrated with the rooms design with huge reserves of power so everything was crystal clear and no ringing ears afterwards.

PP did have a better sound system than 99% of clubs I have been to around the world though - it was no slouch.
"Some data" is WAY different than "Google receives the URL of every page you visit".

I'm not saying Google's Safe Browsing feature is immune to criticism, but when someone posts such blatantly false information it discredits everything else they have to say on the topic.

>It's literally about how options traders and the like can be lucky for 10 or 20 years

I don't see how doing anything successfully (in this case, gaining profit?) for 20 years can be described as "luck." Surviving/being successful that long trading isn't a fluke.

I haven't read the book, but I know that Talib talks about 'tail risk' a lot and 'risk of ruin'. Which are very different than what you describe. If my bet size is only limited to 2%, I would be happy to be "lucky" for 20 years!

Of course, if you want to good for poor people with all of your massive wealth, you need to accumulate it only from the wealthy. Accumulating it from the low-wealth only makes them poorer.

The prose is ridiculous. Smh.
I agree that if voters want to outlaw B and C, that's their prerogative. I don't see any moral imperative for that action, though.

My formulation of 'deserve what they get' was perhaps a bit snarky.

There are good reasons for people to invest in risky ventures. Eg when you invest in a startup, you might be able to get your money back, if you ask nicely, but there's no guarantee, and there's not necessarily any liquid assets backing your funds.

I think investing in risky assets should be legal.

I also think that it should be legal for people to invest in assets that have no official classification into whether they are risky or not. Ie when the company taking your funds makes no claims (as in C), in practice the customers should assume the worst.

If you want to forbid C, alas, that leads to a lot of bureaucracy. Because you have to define what an adequate level of disclosure looks like. And then there will be lots of paperwork.
The transitions from about half of the versions between 0.3 and 0.10 were worse for me. From 0.10 to 0.15 were smooth. 0.16 was tied to phx 1.6, which made it worse again, but I didn’t find it that bad.

0.16 to 0.18 has been mostly okay again, but I’ve seen bugs introduced into an app just by adding IDs to HTML elements with a phx-hook on them. This is a problem since heex templates enforce that each hook does have an ID. It’s also strange that a totally new ID never used elsewhere in the app would break existing JS interop, but it does and it’s what I’ll be working on this week so we can continue upgrading…

Not sure what it’s going to be like upgrading to Phoenix 1.7, but I think it’s going to be a major undertaking and unfortunately most my Phoenix-related screencasts will become obsolete. Elixir itself and Ecto have been really stable, though.
Websites can still track everywhere you're tapping though. Wasn't that the original scare?
That's simply incorrect, just because Trek and Specialized are using t47 does not mean it's now the new standard. In fact it's just the opposite, just another standard.

You're also wrong about it being better. Yes manufacturers have terrible quality control, that's because the big brands outsource to the cheapest manufacturer, buy frames for ~$100 and sell them for $4000 with completely crooked BBs. However screw in BBs don't really help, problems just show up later (which is to their advantage). Pressfit BBs are superior in every way if manufacturers actually followed the specs.
The FLDS cult is still around too and for about twice as long. Its mere existence doesn't make it a successful experiment.
This is not what they are doing, though. As far as I can tell, Apple never does the kind of "Tracking" that is reserved for that popup — namely, using a unique identifier to track a user across apps & sites not owned by Apple

The Tracking popup requests that the user allows an application to send a unique identifier which can be correlated by other apps, advertising networks, social media platforms (eg. like buttons, embeds, etc), in order to correlate a user's identity between different properties on the web in order to personalise advertising. AFAIK Apple does not participate in this form of tracking

Apple does ask users if they want to opt-in to analytics (for Apple) and separately for third-party developers. This refers to allowing an application to submit analytics data purely for that application or for the operating system and not in a way which tracks the user between apps owned by different companies

In this case Apple is violating their own opt-in analytics policy with regards to the App Store application. It appears to be collecting analytics data even when a user has opted out of submitting analytics
Yeah for the first thing, I said I assume it -- I wasn't actually making an assertion that all the requests get sent to a server. I can't realistically spend the effort to double-check every single thing like this (as in how badly every corp is spying on me), and it's substantially easier to just assume the worst and act accordingly.

Right, I'm sure the "Safe Browsing" stuff has prevented downloads of .exes that the user never would have run anyways (but I digress). Regardless, I still am not going to rely on shareholder-driven megacorps to decide what sites I can trust or not. They have proven they are not trustworthy themselves. To start, Google does things like hiding portions of the URL of the website you're on[0], making the web browsing experience even more opaque than it already is for the average user. In fact, Google has even engaged in phishing-like behaviour themselves, replacing an original website with their own AMP version, while showing the original URL[1].

Of course, this is all without even touching on the shocking depth of surveillance/tracking undertaken by Google.

Regarding exploits in the browser iself, in fact, the extremely massive surface area of web browser software is indeed absolutely a vector for malware. In this sense, Safe Browsing is a solution to a problem browser vendors created by nearly turning the web browser into an OS. By April this year, Chrome had already hit its third zero-day exploit[2] affecting its billions of users. By last month, it had hit its seventh[3]. Basically every month or two there's a new actively-exploited vulnerability in Chrome that may very well allow malware to be installed on your system by simply visiting a web page. If only trying to read some text on a website didn't mean risking having my home network turned into a botnet, or getting ransomware-locked...

After hearing so much about TikTok's addictiveness, I decided to give it a whirl. I spent a good few hours trying to get a feed that was interesting to me by searching for various keywords. I was mostly looking for weird, abstract, absurdist videos, but also anything else that interested me. Unfortunately it was quite difficult to find anything I actually liked. Most of "weird tiktok" seemed to be a teenager's idea of "weird"―too fauxdark, edgy, memelordic. I did manage to find a few videos and creators I actually liked, but not enough to make my feed much better. I eventually gave up and deleted the app.

Just one small anecdotal data point to counter the idea that the app is addicting for everyone. If anybody has any tips about how to get a better feed, I'm willing to give it another go.
You can see which comments get downvoted, read them and thus learn others preferences.
This is really a bad strategy for promotion. Attending to others means not doing your own shit, which would compound as you help others more and more. Hence they would all be promoted whist you're on a PIP.

Makes sense though, basically need to balance individual desires and group goals. Helping the newbie get up to speed won't really benefit you, but will mean the team now can do more.
Hierarchies are ingrained in our genetic code. Its how most organisations have evolved for hundreds of millions of years starting from crustasians like lobsters. You might not agree politically with Jordan Peterson, but his book 12 rules for Life, is an excellent book and the first chapter talks about how hierarchies are fundamental to any social structure across most organims. There can be some outliers, but if there is no hierarchy to start with, a new hierarchy will most certainly evolve over long periods of time.
>I don't believe you can make a successful career change without going all-in

Meh. I've transitioned between several pretty different careers without ever going all-in on anything. But you do you.

Oh I love this! Doubling as a carrying case is a great idea. I like the flat-pack assembly with the spacers parts. What's the weight of the full assembly like?

I did something similar to this last year, but without the travel goal (just trying to get myself to move around and work outside more). Instead of mating the keyboard to the base, I attached some larger magnets to the bottom of the keyboard by setting them into a custom aluminum bottom plate (also from SendCutSend) and made a flat desk surface out of ferromagnetic steel.

https://ianthehenry.com/posts/kyria-build/bespoker-aluminum-...

One advantage of this is that I can move around the keyboard halves freely, angling them differently throughout the day. Which is also sort of a disadvantage, but they stick pretty well in place if I'm not trying to mess with them. I can also attach some other things that I slapped magnets on (mostly a mechanical pomodoro timer that I use for writing).

https://i.imgur.com/S0bstNs.png

I experimented with some alternate keyboard mounting strategies, but didn't find anything that made a big difference.

https://i.imgur.com/ohNWhhS.png

This is my second magnetic keyboard lap desk prototype. My first was far too heavy, so to reduce weight I just bent a piece of sheet steel around a piece of cork (the sharp bends add a lot of rigidity). I think the next one will be tented a bit... SendCutSend does bending now; I bet I could laminate steel to a thin aluminum frame...

No argument from me there. I was just narrowly addressing the point in stale2002's comment.
Why are people commenting about "leaderless teams" as if the article defines that to mean, "A team where there is no leader present"? That's not what this article is about at all. I know it's "bad form" to accuse people of having not read the submission, but folks come on, go read the actual submission!

The article can be summed up by this line:

> What emerged from this exercise is that social class, education, gender and athletic ability were less important for leadership than the capacity for an individual to attend to others in the group.

So it's about how the best leaders are those who attend to the others in the group to create psychological safety so that those others can thrive without emotional risk.

The article also talks about how people seem to have forgotten this core concept but they haven't; it was the key conclusion to Google's own research into its most successful teams as well.[0]

If your team isn't primarily focused on providing psychological safety, then your leaders need to read Google's findings ASAP...

No, it isn't. A star-autonomous cartesian category is just a preorder. Chu(Set, n) is star-autonomous but not a preorder, and therefore not cartesian. Or more concretely: cartesian categories are models for type systems with copying and deleting, but the Chu construction builds a model for a linear type system.
This would make grepping or locating the latest version pretty annoying

Wouldn't this be an issue with any database object managed via migrations? Do any of them make this easy for any database object?

In ActiveRecord, you have your migrations folder(s) and then you have your `structure.sql` (essentially the raw output of mysqldump or pgdump) or the equivalent.

If I need to see the literal database definition of any database object I look it up in there. Not the slickest solution but works well enough - really just a few keystrokes in my editor.

I'd be curious how other migration tools handle (or fail to handle) this.
