This is one of the advantages Gitlab has because the ability to do this is built into gitlab-runner so you don’t have to maintain anything, you’re using the same code Gitlab itself is.
When I was younger, there was only Internet Explorer and all online communication happened through MSN. Games ran on Windows or on consoles and that was about it. When MSN waned, Skype quickly became the de facto personal VoIP platform and at that point Microsoft had already acquired it.

I was conceptually aware of Macs, but I didn't know anyone who had actually used one. I know this isn't the typical experience around here, but where I grew up, Microsoft was simply the only option.

They lost it all years later when Blackberry, Google and later Apple started to become serious competition. They couldn't get Windows Phone to succeed (despite its superior underpinnings), they lost to Chromebooks in education, and they failed to keep Office competitive enough to make it as ubiquitous as it once was. I'm surprised Xbox is still around at this point.

Gates had a vision and a keen eye for opportunities. When he was leaving, Microsoft was dealing with a failed products and unexpected competition. (Vista, iPhone, Zune) and after he was gone it took a while before MS got its vision back. The company tried to go a wild, new direction after fixing Vista and turning it into 7 by going all-in on Windows 8. Mobile, tablets, desktop, and console were all moving towards the same, unified ecosystem and design, something that brought Apple great success. On the Windows side, though, I think it's safe to say Windows 8 was universally disliked, tolerated at best. Windows Mobile died because of its many backwards incompatible releases despite the lacking ecosystem.

It's interesting to imagine what the world would look like if Microsoft had managed to make Windows Phone a success. I think that had 90s-Gates been at the helm, Microsoft could've even beaten the iPad.
Awesome news. Any ports to Risc-V or Openpower?

Freedom to Roam laws only allow passing through, not littering. Do you foresee people who would litter illegally, but would not trespass illegally?
Wow, an advertisement complaining about the oldest technology on the internet for advertising. Pixel Tracking.

"If you use Hey"... And close tab.

What's more nefareous? Being advertised to through the regular channels, or this covert, hidden as help type of swindle? I hate both.
The US will just keep increasing bans and sanctions as the Chinese stategy seem to be not to respond in kind, but instead build capacity to become independent of US-controlled technology, something that might take a decade.
I get why people do this. I used to use Freshbooks for my billing. They include tracking pixels in their emails, so I could see if a client had opened their invoice or not. If a client was late, I could adjust my behavior based on that tracking pixel (if they hadn't seen it, I would just send the invoice again vs. calling and trying to hound down a payment).

That said, I don't like the idea of tracking pixels either. I turn off images in gmail/thunderbird so that people can't track my reading. Would love it if the move to get rid of these became mainstream.

"Promotion? You must be joking. Your little stunt caused a revenue spike that pushed us over the threshold in $country, prompting $regulatory-agency to look into starting antitrust proceedings.

this is very common in the west. Its one of several ways to "own" more property than you paid for. If your property completely encloses 1000 acres of public land, that land is as good as yours (with the exception of building things, but many of the property owners in these cases are taking people hunting on the land, so no permanant structures would be built anyway.) Another common thing is land leases. I don't know how many ranches I've seen for sale around here (NM) that state something like 1000 acres, but when you look closer, its 200 acres, with a BLM lease on the other 800 acres. That doesn't grant them exclusive use of the land (to the best of my knowledge), but they frequently act like it does--placing "no tresspassing" signs, confronting people, arguing its their land. (and while you are paying for those leases, it is CHEAP. something like $2 per acre per year.

My first (and only) visit to Japan was a week-long trip to Tokyo in early summer this year. It promptly became my favourite city in the world (and I traveled a few places).

For me, Tokyo represents a pinnacle of successful urbanisation. The people are superbly polite and considerate, it’s safe and clean, with stunningly beautiful architecture within urban spaces that were surprisingly green and simply pleasant to be in. The car traffic is immensly busy, but works amazingly well. Public transit works like clockwork.

Public spaces are busy like you’d expect them to be in a metropolis, but in a non-stressful and benevolent way. Food is amazing.

It was love at first sight. Maybe I was dazzled, but I want to go back there very soon.

> Marketing wants to track all clicks and user inputs and get heat maps to improve the conversion based on their findings. They want to know where their users come from, where they go to see if their campaigns work. They also want google maps integration to find retail stores. They want users who come back 2 days later to retain their shopping cart and their preferences even without a login in case they checkout without an account. They want dynamic A/B testing based on user behaviour and they don’t want to/can’t reinvent all these solutions so they go buy them and the devs get to integrate them - whether they like it or not and some things simply make it so that you need to store some data on the client and communicate it on the client in some way while not being completely anonymous.

Speaking a as user, I don't want your company to know or do any of those things. I'm very glad these practices are getting outlawed and I'd like your marketing team to know they can get hit by a bus for all I care, the world would be a better place without their cancerous doings. Psychological warfare against the general public is despicable.
You mean inventing something better, ie some AI mix? Because anything else mankind tried so far was a disaster and suffering of much bigger proportions.
I agree, the sanctions aren't helping the Chinese tech economy. And I also agree that economic warfare has escalated recently. Battle lines have been being drawn for the last decade or so, and now pieces are moving around on the chess board (not just US and China, Russia Ukraine etc)

As to how much beyond "not being friends" this is, I'm not sure that protecting the Chinese tech sector is anyone's responsibility but China's. As you said, this is geopolitics. It's not like China is looking out for US or EU or anyone else's interests. Widescale IP theft certainly isn't helping the US tech economy. If US and China were allies I'm sure more would be done to find a mutually agreeable solution, but it's pretty clear at this point that US and Chinese geopolitical interests are not aligned.

Having it's IP stolen is the US's problem to solve. They're solving it in part by refusing (at a state level) to do business with parts of the Chinese tech sector. Considering how long its taken the US to respond, it's clear to me time was being taken to solve this diplomatically, and that patience has run out. It's not like the CCP hasn't had time to change their bad behavior and reach a compromise solution.

Having something stolen is a problem for the victim. But the victims response may be a problem for the thief. This is simply a long overdue consequence for systemic bad behavior.

This situation is regrettable for both parties. But resorting to "US bad" and "China victim" here is a gross simplification of the situation.
There’s another side to the Intel 10nm process debacle. Intel designers and architects have relied on a process and manufacturing advantage for years to overwhelm any problems they had. One of the consequences is the death of any kind of post-mortem accountability: if your product is guaranteed to make billions of dollars no matter what, why point any fingers? Management basked in the money stream. Engineers who toed the line were promoted up. Dissenters were beaten down.

This toxic environment might still be going on now if Intel maintained their process advantage… the 10nm debacle exposed the design/arch teams: their people-manager emperors had no clothes.

That's not how it works lmao. You can't just trade your house for $0 to your friend and agree that there's no tax to be assessed. The government has its own opinion on the fair market value that they use.

Otherwise EVERYTHING would be "valued" at $0 right before it's sold and then people would "gift" the sale amount to dodge taxes. The IRS isn't dumb.

The reason i think lies in something more deeply cultural: He think Python is the only thing he should know, nothing else is needed.

If you don’t like the email technology used by the provider of the commercial content you are receiving… Unsubscribe, simple.
My knowledge might be outdated but back in 2014? Gmail decided to download and cache images embedded in an email. This meant that a tracking pixel was only downloaded once (before a user even opened an email) and every subsequent time the email was opened, the cached image was served from Gmail's servers, not the image origin server. This meant that tracking pixels became useless for Gmail (web based) users. I'm still under this impression today but maybe something has changed?

Edit: I said the pixel loads before the email is even opened. This is incorrect. The pixel loads the first time an email is read. Subsequent loads come from Gmail's servers.
Calling them cry babies is really not helpful.

Considering we spend most of our lives trying to increase the standard of living for ourselves and for others it's not all that surprising people resist reducing it, is it?
Mocking RESP API in 20 minutes via Yakbak
Imagine this: you are an ordinary frontend developer. When you open your mailbox you found a message — tomorrow DevOps team will make an optimization with Kubernetes. You are experienced developer and you know that environment operation test might go sideways. Test environment is crucial for your job as frontend developer and you don’t want to miss a whole day on a job, so there are two possible solutions present:

1. Setup all microservices on your laptop;

2. Prepare mocks for API.

I will describe how to mock REST API request via Yakbak.

IMDB – Quotes from “Triangle of Sadness”
I think that it has to be?

I like Rust well enough, but thinking about memory management is a reasonably large effort that I generally don't have to make in most languages. Rust, in not having a GC, strictly adds to that load compared to most languages out there. The exceptions are languages like C, C++, and assembler, and there I agree that Rust seems to make things a fair bit easier.

(Though, disclaimer, I never got around to learning modern C++, which I gather is a huge improvement over the style of C++ I do know.)

I'd be willing to accept, though, that Rust's lack of full-blown OO features, and its strict controls on mutation, often makes things easier in large shared codebases. Perhaps not letting people do some particularly wild things that I'm used to seeing in Java and C# at my day job. I'm not in a position to have a worthwhile opinion on that claim, though.
some hacking and warez communities around ~2005

They were solving an immediate problem (whether that was finding a movie online or a 0-day behind a paywall) so it didn't feel like wasting time and there was a constant flux of people.

I think enjoying an online community is based on a lot of personal factors: I just don't make serious friendships anymore at my age, I won't bother with an online community.

Do something useful, keep attracting new people, don't be upset when old timers don't give a crap about your efforts.
It’s exploitative if it is not sticky and isn’t clearly communicated. But it’s not relevant for the Mercedes case where it’s very clear that it’s a subscription.

For my personal case, it still doesn’t matter, of course.
and that doesn't mean you can't have emails with images.

if it matters they can embed the content and the images will display even if you have remote images disabled.
You don’t have that option, because manufacturing and other roles was shipped to China.

That’s the leverage.

Almost of third of workers are on disability, another third have minimum wage jobs and the rest have prospects. The business model in college is taking advantage of pride of tenured professors who don’t want to teach and pushing adjunct and temporary faculty.

A lot of people don’t get it and get stuck in the academic funnel. That Berkeley grad student isn’t breaking her body, but is sacrificing core working years, mostly to support the $$ faculty and administration.

Long term, especially in humanities, you won’t have tenured professors, just some assistant professors on two year contracts grinding a meager living along with with sucker grad students who either don’t get it or need the work to keep a visa.
That happens for some emails but I've also seen Gmail emails that activated tracking pixels normally.
Of course the site doesn't bother to mention their own spying:

Cross-cultural business communications is a fascinating experience. I’m often tasked with reviewing emails to our Japanese counterparts or clients. Among other things I’ve picked up is that the American mode of expressing disagreement is blunt and comes across to the Japanese as questioning the relationship. I’ve had good experience with the “disagreement sandwich.” Start by reaffirming the shared purpose, then state the disagreement clearly (you don’t have to be oblique), and then put the disagreement in context to show it’s not directed to the foundation of the relationship. I’m sure there is a more culturally appropriate way of doing this (I’m winging it) but it seems to get better results than blowing things up like a howitzer which is the American default.

> A logical argument can be perfectly true and still invalid if it is the result of motivated cherry picking and framing to support an agenda or incentive.

The approach to take here, then, would be to critique the part of the letter that is invalid and cherry picked. Perhaps universities have a broader scope than education and research, and focusing on the pursuit of truth doesn't allow it to fulfill its broader responsibilities. If that's your point, make it, instead of saying that certain personal traits of an arguer inherently makes their argument wrong.

A world where arguments are primarily about which identities are good and bad is a world where you just have insults being thrown back and forth about who's a "white man reply guy" and who's an "autistic enby about to saw his genitals off." I'd prefer a different one.
