Thanks!

I think having a personal, isolated and well goomed version of what will be your day's schedule is an understandable proposition.

You're probably right that it comes down to the organization's attitude towards time. I currently have meetings that magically appear a few hours before they start, and some disappear or move around. We get Slack messages to discuss and/or negociate these changes, but we see calendering as something fundamentally flexible.

Using pen and paper for that would just make us waste paper without affecting how it works in practice (thinking about it, I was in a startup where the day+week's main schedule was on the corner of a whiteboard, and it would get rewritten quite a bit)
Sorry, Trump cares little about his country? Say what you want of him, and he definitely has a big ego to say the least, but I can't think of a more patriotic world leader of late than him. In fact, he's rightly aligned with the nationalist trend in politics that Brexit can be argued to take part in. "America first", remember?
Not just that, I also constantly get German Wikipedia articles as top result when my browser and OS are set to English. If it were only the UI, that would be better because I know the buttons by heart already (not a given for every user, of course).

I've always wondered what I'm supposed to do when on holiday in a country with a different script that I can't make heads or tails of. I'll have to practice my japanese or amharic then I guess?

The other extreme is DDG which will try to find English results for a query that very clearly uses Dutch words, matching pages that don't have those words on them rather than bringing up the Dutch page that contains all of the keywords.
They're strongly suggesting that climate change is a religious fantasy.
I think Jobs quoted Gretzky more than once too:

"Skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been" - Wayne Gretzky
Germany is fantastic if you are white American or first world Westerner wanting to live in a place with good public transportation, good healthcare , good work practices and less hustle culture and good beer .
For others especially brown folks I think the experience is a little more complex. You will never feel completely integrated or accepted even though it will never be all our hostility.It is becoming more multicultural but I suspect there is starting to be a backlash against Angela Merkel’s open immigration policies and I fear Germany may flip in their next elections.I have friends who are 2nd generation Turkish or Greek who still don’t fit in and want to move to the US at the first chance .
The closest example I can find is living in Portland, Oregon. Great culture , good beer , sort of a socialist culture with good walkability and public transportation. But very homogenous and that fantastic living experience vastly changes with your ethnic and racial background . The intent is good and everything is good until it isn’t .

I've worked as a principal engineer at Amazon before, and I can tell that testing and quality there isn't looked down upon. You can definitely get promoted just for improving products and never building any new feature.

However it will matter a lot on where you spend your effort on, and whether your environment understands why it matters. If you just mention "I'm writing integration tests" - and nobody knows why it's important to do that right now - it will likely not go too far. However if it's along "we have this regular operational issue that everyone in my org including the director was aware about, I fixed it, added integration tests, and made sure I added automation that will catch further regressions before our customers will observe them" - it will go a long way.
Alternate interpretation:

w3c's XHTML was machine understandable. It took great care to introduce rigid and reusable semantics. You could spider the web and directly extract facts without ML or heuristics. It spiritually brought HTML closer to RSS and RDF, and there would have been a lot you could do with that.

Google didn't want anything to do with that future. Search is their moat. They pushed a format that is easy for humans to author, tolerably messy, and knowledgeless for machines. If the format was difficult to extract knowledge from in a scalable and reusable way, Google could keep their search kingdom.

XHTML was a ladder rung into the semantic web. A distributed knowledge graph that could be mined, remixed, and extended with little effort. It was marginally harder to author (the mimetype issue was ridiculous), but extending it was low hanging fruit.

This isn't necessarily how it went down, but the incentives do align. I do think we'd have more automation in the world today if we'd have adopted XHTML.

Now with AI/ML and NLP I think we'll get to this kind of web without a format to rigidly specify semantics. I still have to think that the ideas of semantic web and P2P could have delivered decades ago if Google and Facebook hadn't overwhelmingly pushed the envelope on centralized resources.
> doubt Steve Jobs would be

Jobs was alive when Twitter went mainstream. He didn’t fall for the bait.
I'm guessing for every mean comment he handled in public, behind the scenes Steve ripped apart some poor soul in private for doing much less or some soul for not even trying to incite anything.
based on the headline, it must be under 1 ms. love the table
You're absolutely right; I've operated a site-to-site VPN tunnel between two locations (tunnel endpoints were on the routers, and both peers were sharing an public IP address).

After a while, Google would associate the IP address of the local side of the tunnel with the location of the remote side of the tunnel.

I assume this is from Android devices connecting to the network on the remote side, being geolocated by Google Play Services, and Google tying this location with the IP address.
Not from HTTP requests. Android has access to the network stack and location. Google grabs all visible APs around and correlate to your location.

It is way before HTTP even happens. This data is collected while you are driving around, walking down the street, etc.

Why doesn't germany just arrest people before they commit an offense?
I read the tone of this as essentially neutral, I would have liked to have seen some numbers on the propotion of retractions.

Key notes are:

* arXiv allows authors to withdraw papers whenever they’d like (with as much or little detail about their reasons as they care to provide).

* All prior versions remain online, without notation that the paper was withdrawn. (Without notation!!)

* Roughly two-thirds of biomedical, physics, math preprints are eventually published in peer reviewed journals.

The take aways are that a third of STEM preprints are never submitted (in arXiv form) for peer review, and an unknown proportion are withdrawn with no obvious indication that happened.
People using GitHub Copilot are learning how to code while they review and tweak the AI suggestions. As an outcome, they are becoming better coders in the process.

Don't you agree?
I don’t think the severity of the injury should dictate whether a corporation is at fault or not.

Accidents happen in unexpected ways.

If you drop a glass in a restaurant and cut yourself on a shard, is the restaurant to blame? After all, they could have served your drink in a plastic cup instead.

Hearing some of the responses to my post, I suspect there may be a slight cultural difference in expectations. Being from the UK, I wouldn’t find it remotely surprising to be handed a boiling hot liquid.
Another great one from the same day is on the Newton. Spot on.

I think that can be true, but from knowing many people that did take that route, I don't think that's a stable kind of immigration though. i.e. people who do that would rather be in the US but couldn't and are often just waiting around for the right opportunity to go back. Some stay forever, sure, but I think the two countries offer entirely different lives, specially for career-driven people.
A few years ago someone did a data export from linkedin and received a CD, I think either in the early days of GDPR or maybe during the predecessor (NL: WBP) which was effectively the same except no fines. One of the takeaways there was that linkedin suggests users to each other that share an IP address. I have also noticed that youtube on tv will suggest things that someone in the household watched on the phone. Whether it's truly by IP address or by some other proximity proxy, in the end the answer is the same: yes, adtech firms use correlations, such as your IP address.

It sounds like you're one of today's lucky ten thousand. https://xkcd.com/1053/
HTML5 can be auto-translated into an XML surface syntax. You aren't losing anything compared to the old XHTML, though only the XML syntax can include content from other XML namespaces.

Google even cooperates with other search engines in promoting unified formats to "extract knowledge from in a scalable and reusable way", namely the schema.org standards.

Look I love a good Obama / Merkel scandal meme but “US is the only one” is just so absurdly ignorant.
Let’s say you redact with a pure black rectangle, on a JPEG. Is there enough information in the remaining compressed image to leak some information about what was redacted?

I ask because what was there would have affected the original compression algorithm. So there might be some signal left.
The link does not exist anymore
At least in software you can (mostly) easily re-create the conditions that lead to the problem... Hardware exists in the real world, not a virtual one, so while it's possible to find correlations if you've got enough data, getting a definitive root cause can be much harder as you've got to create the real world.
The FBI is notoriously subversive, regardless of the political denomination.
Richard Rhodes' write up, made a strong case it was in part vindictive. A bunch of people in the post Manhattan nuclear governance space resented his presence.

Teller came to a strange place in this, simultaneously self justifying and regretful of his own testimony. The science community treated him according to how they saw his behaviour.

Rhodes also makes a good case that Oppenheimer had been his own worst enemy at times, flirting with danger (how he balanced his own sense of purpose, and dealt with others, especially espiocrats in the anti communist backlash post war) by being economical with the truth, a fantasist at others expense (he caused at least one person to be falsely accused and hounded as a spy, trying to shift blame from his own behaviour) and unnecessarily complicated. He was an intellectual, a snob, and he showed his distain for common people ignoring their uncommon power over him in the situations he found himself in.
I think it's worse than that. Based on quantization of the percentage field [0], I think the source data has to be about 925 requests and is including all browsers seen at least twice.

I don't think so. He has no stake in it besides having some input into its design, as he has for other RISC designs. It's Dave Patterson, the famous academic, not Larry Ellison.
Nausea issue is not solvable by any standalone device.

You should always pause when receiving criticism, it's a great psychological trick. Responding immediately and fiercely rewards the critic.

The problem you have in the US is that you only have one alternative choice, so if neither choice is good, then you have no recourse
In your example

Germany is twitter
The offensive post is the criminal/crime

What you mean is "why doesn't Germany arrest people before someone reports a crime" not before it's committed.

So what you're saying doesn't make sense because Germany investigates crimes, arrests people for them, etc even if someone doesn't report it
Exchanges provide a lot of added value, at least ones that aren't run by criminals or idiots.

Wallet keys stored on a phone or laptop, or even a hardware wallet, are generally less safe than the reserve wallets of a major exchange. I can lose the device, it can break or be stolen, etc.

Writing down recovery phrases and stashing them in the sock drawer doesn't feel very safe either.

And if something happens to me, I feel quite sure that my family will get any crypto I have in my Coinbase account, but much less sure that they'll be able to recover any non-custodial wallets.
TIL Edge exists for Mac.
Agreed with the first part, but I don't think the comparison makes sense. I think that focusing on your editor config allows you to be faster, more agile, hence allowing to write more code, review more code, fix more bugs, yadda yadda. Outcome = becoming a better coder!
This isn't the case. Solvency II treats govt bonds as essentially risk-free, corporate bonds are not treated as risk-free, and there are substantial capital requirements for non-bond investments. UK insurers have substantial holdings of govt debt (really odd that you should get this so wrong), they are one of the largest non-govt investors in the market (obviously).
I'm confused when you wrote "becoming increasingly difficult to form coalitions". Mark Rutte has been PM since 2010. Wiki says: "On 2 August 2022, he became the longest-serving Prime Minister in Dutch history..." Without specific examples that demonstrate a trend, the term "increasingly difficult" is editorial-speak. Also, look at NL economy for last 30 years. Looks pretty good compared to any other highly developed country. That is very difficult to do without a high functioning govt.
Sadly this kind of lockout is implemented client-side in Javascript. Either by actively nerfing the FF performance (if ff then bad perf), or by using APIs known to be bad on firefox. All of Google's websites are a perfect example of both actually (no proof needed, but I cannot believe it's only the second option).
Agree, and it's sad because indeed Britain in the early 2000s was the coolest place to be. I mean, if they had stayed in the EU it'd still have a lot of its appeal. Now it's just a sad island with tough immigration and not much to offer. London used to be the kind of place young Europeans would head to, without plans. Now not sure whey are people going.
>It all points to a need for the UK to be rid of the Tories for a generation or two

Bollocks to that. I hope this will be the Last Tory Government.
This pages https://whatsmyos.com/ report the OS as

There could be code in the system that directs IO and only allows write requests to parts of the OS if they include a signature from Apple.

I'm not sure if "a user with more power than root" would be the right way to describe that. The code would have a permission that "root" doesn't, but I wouldn't call the code "a user". It's a Unix idea that "a specific set of permissions" and "a user" are synonyms. Systems can exist where some permissions aren't represented as users.
Sounds interesting. Do you mind sharing how was that cured?
Why even have a pretend open q and a ? Just do your soliloquy and be done with it instead of lying that your are open to questions.
Proportional voting doesn't have to mean tyranny. Make the very first option on the ballot "I don't approve of any of the candidates here", and if it wins another election is held and nobody from the prior ballot is allowed to be listed.
Agree. Look at democracies where two parties dominate. The choices look awful. Where is the center represented in UK and US?
I've enjoyed the posts. Excuse the religious slant of this but I think there is a principle here. Buddha taught Buddhism in India and it spread to many other countries, becoming the most popular religion in the world but did not take root in India which is a Hindu country. Christ taught in Israel and Christianity spread around the world but Israel remains Jewish. These teachers were ignored at home.

I left Australia aged 32 where my life was bogged down and meaningless and emigrated to the States where I found fulfilment. It wasn't easy, it was illegal for me to earn money but it all worked out. I think there's something about leaving one's home country that invites a brand new path, a fresh opportunity to wipe the old slate and start afresh. I strongly recommend taking the flying leap into the unknown.
I think that might be accurate. Steam survey currently lists following top 5 Windows versions:

Win10 x64 65.60%
Win11 x64 27.98%
Win7 x64 1.88%
Win8.1 x64 0.41%
Win7 x86 0.11

As you see, the most popular version of Win8 is 4.5 times more exotic than Win7.
Genuine question. Does Apple just not do these things? Is my privacy *actually* protected better with an iphone? I still have to use Google Mail for work and occasionally use Google Maps to find things.
This is the process of mapping documents to vectors representing their semantic meaning. Here's a reasonable high-level overview:

The thinking at the time was driven by greenery: you take the early industrial urban density that was a lifeless (except for humans) city of stone, but stack the humans a few times higher to open up room for trees and birds and perhaps a little pond. Everybody gets their own window to nature, as if they had a cabin in the woods! That's how their reasoning went, but humans aren't that easy to fool.

I am facing a different tyranny from Google. I just moved to US from a different country. I am not able to install any US based apps as Google play store has my original country tied in. Google knows I am in the US, but they want me to give a payment instrument (Paypal, or Credit card) before they allow me to update the country.
I found a black hole. Very hard to approach. It made it look like there were multiple black holes next to each other, but it might also have been a glitch due to very high speed or something.

Some asteriods and planets seem to repel the ship. Not sure why.

There's a frozen moon (probably Europa because of the jokes they tell there about not being able to compete in Eurovision) where you can fly in under the frozen sea.. just to note another easter egg. If one happens to sink into the center of that moon there is another one (book club) :)
How were these journalists associated with ElonJet?
The grandparent is simplifying. The goal of a democracy is to respect the will of the majority while respecting the fundamental rights of the minority. If you're not doing the first step, respecting the will of the majority, then your democracy has already failed. A tyranny of the minority is strictly worse than a tyranny of the majority.
No? If it were to be visible it would be because your editing software failed to blend the layers together properly during compositing and rasterization. JPEG encoding comes after this.
Tesla’s Third Largest Shareholder Calls for the Ouster of Elon Musk as CEO

Is there a typo here? Can someone explain what this means in slightly different words? I've love to hear what Buzz Aldrin has to say about Elon Musk, but I just can't parse this phrase.
Jeez, and I thought my -12.5 prescription was bad!
Maybe the article is neutral, but the site does not come off as such.

From their homepage:

>The week at Retraction Watch featured:

The thing about mathematics papers is that, for the most part, social acceptance is _the_ test of research. I say social acceptance, because that is what it is, namely a culture of rigorous logical review of the arguments in a paper. As such, you don't really have ethics concerns relating to faked data or p-hacking in a math paper.

When a math paper is retracted, it is almost certainly due to an honest mistake. Papers with such an error are likely not a very significant paper to begin with--as the error likely escaped noticed because there were fewer eyes on it--or there is a very deep and subtle error that would be hard for anyone to catch.

Edit: Actually probably what the UK ppl are saying
Putin is only mentioned once in that article and only in a context of people criticizing the dependency on Russian natural gas. There's nothing there that implies "tampering", and the article speculatively couches the moves in economic terms, prioritizing new delivery means. I suppose you just think Putin is behind everything.
