I assume "withdrawal" is the legal term used for clicking "no" on a cookie banner.

In which case yes, it is the same as refusal in the context of the law being discussed.
Reddit hard leans to a younger crowd. There are plenty conservative hold outs there, but don't expect a tech-centric, very young, mostly college educated crowd to support conservative positions in the popular subs, it's just not ever going to happen. I'm pretty moderate and get yelled at all the time when I talk about the merits of capitalism over collectivism and communism, even though I support stuff like public education and state sponsored health care as a right. Most of reddit seems to think the government can make everything better, and I've lived long enough to know that's simply not true.
It's not difficult, but they're still the most popular. Everyone drinks the standard vegetable oil Oatly. It's like a liquid oatmeal cookie.
Anywhere pumped hydro would cost more than another of many storage alternatives, the other alternative will reliably be chosen. England is, e.g., preparing hydrogen storage in depleted NG cavities. Pumped hydro will be built in the places where it is cheapest, favoring high hills and variable topography.

Costs for many storage alternatives are falling fast, and it is unclear which choices will win. Adding pumps to existing dams has lately been cheapest, by far. Future people will choose according to local conditions without asking us.

Not the best example, dogs can be converted back into wolves, they can even interbreed with them, Plug-and-Play, so to speak. Dogs are basically domesticated wolves... leave them on the street and they start forming packs, breed like crazy, and sooner rather than later you get weird-looking wolves running around eating smaller animals and bullying everyone and everything. Pack animals are bullies.
And if you ever meet a pack of wolves face-to-face (or just one hungry one), you'd probably feel like an endangered animal yourself. That's why in Alaska people have guns with them at all times.

Chimpanzees are the worst, there's a huge population over the world, and they're really violent.
My strategy:

1) Make bigger decisions - instead of buying a skillet, design your ideal kitchen (or if that's too big, just your set of pots/pans). You will either find that the skillet doesn't make all that much of a difference and be ok with whatever because it's such a small part of the job, or you'll find that the decision is more obvious.

2) Listen to instincts. Be willing to choose based on the things you might initially dismiss as "stupid" like aesthetics and how much joy you feel using it. A skillet should feel right in your hand. If you try to flip food, the weight should feel like you can manipulate it easily. These things usually matter much more than objective quality measures. This doesn't mean dismissing red flags, just that online reviews or "expert" opinions aren't the end-all-be-all.

3) Buying in person if you can helps with 2

In this case, the Google internal course explicitly does not trust that random shell script, even if it came from rust-lang.org, while their internal apt repository is trusted. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34092187
No need to brute force - if users re-used their master password, it will potentially cross-reference with the correct email and password combo from any number of previous data breaches and pwnage across the net.
I can imagine that, but MySQL didn't really start to become a competitive relational database until the 3.23 timeframe (around 2000), and it is hard to imagine MyISAM (with no actual transaction support) being used for a production database except under very carefully controlled circumstances.

To some degree that was true of a lot of earlier competing databases as well, which tended to take escalating locks on everything from the page level on up just to implement basic read consistency. So any transaction of any type could easily lock up a random set of unrelated rows if not entire tables until completion.
Thanks for pointing this out. I skimmed the report and was mildly curious about their sources of funding, but I was too lazy to do the searching to find what you did.
But generally that is a fee not a deposit the detainee gets back. That's a big fee.
From me understanding some jurisdictions will allow you to cut out the bailbonds company, and give a 10% deposit for the bail (still on hook for the full money) maybe that is what happened here?
> according to the article, specifically National School Bus Yellow.

Yeah, no. I suggest skipping that paragraph. I read it first as demonstrating how rapidly quality of understanding can deteriorate as you move away from someone's areas of expertise. But on rereading, I could see how a non-science journalist might mangle someone's valid description that badly. And if the interviewee was Ivan (R) Schwab (of UCDavis), I'd lean towards a mangle.

No, female graduate students are free to opt out of having kids.
That's because the college educate tech crowd tends to be democrats, with some libertarian and conservative hold outs. It's not because twitter is "left leaning" it's just a fact of the employment market.
Not a C64 user, but I did use Apples, Ataris, and IBMs. Booting to BASIC or a cartridge was fast. Booting to a floppy not as much.

Reading a tape? That took several minutes.
I'm a huge fan of Matrix and the idea of UnifiedPush, but I don't quite grok what this means (and I'm reluctant to fire up my Matrix client because I'm avoiding some things). Is there any chance you can elaborate on what "self-host the whole Matrix stack" means?
My first "synth" was the Korg DS-10 software on a DSi.

It was very basic but let me familiarise myself with the basics of subtractive synthesis.

This project instantly made me think of DS-10 and VCV Rack.

Something in between this project and VCV Rack would be a fantastic tool for teaching synths to kids that can't yet be trusted with a real (expensive) synth.

It's a lot of fun to play with! This is a neat project!
> Couldn't I just as well make the argument it's pretty annoying that Firefox doesn't implement the API features required for background blurring?

Maybe, if that were the case, though even the opacity of the messaging is also a problem. Not 'your browser doesn't support the XYZ API, which is required for this feature, try Chrome', or even 'your browser is unsupported, but if you want to try anyway, click here', but 'use a supported browser for this or fuck off <links to Chrome>'.

From what I've looked into on this in particular though, Google sends different code to Firefox, and does pretty aggressive browser detection to do so (spoofing UA is not sufficient to get the Chrome code), but if you can get it to run the Chrome code, it actually works fine. There may be some performance issues on Firefox that the Meet team doesn't like, but rather than doing an overrideable runtime performance check or exposing anything at all to the user, they just ban Firefox users from the feature. This is, if you ask me, totally against the principle of the web, which is meant to be based on open standards and running the same code everywhere, not deciding if you like the browser the user is using and giving them a degraded view.

We've seen where this leads before when we have a dominant browser vendor that wants to entrench that position, and now that vendor operates important web services too, which they can leverage to further cement that dominance. I don't think it is a good place to be.

We are 1 week away from 2023. To compare 2003 to 2022 at this moment in time, "Nearly 20 years ago" or "almost 2 decades ago" would be more specific than "over five years ago".

Having spoken with chatGPT who does not know anything past 2021, and whose sense of time is similarly Jarring to me... Might you be a chat bot? :P
I was saddened by the lack of "real" (translation: actual itty bitty robots) nanotechnology taking off. I imagined everyone trying to drag old Atari programmers out of retirement with a "We're used to shipping these fuck-huge executables, how did you do all of this under such tremendous constraints?" plea. So much with such minimal resources!
unfortunately don’t have permission to download, but love the style very much! hopefully i’ll remember to try it out in the future when i get a chance
Just because someone took a class in school, or did some online tutorial doesn't make them a C developer.

Most developers you see/hear/interact with are not C developers - rather they use higher level languages mostly to build web apps and mobile apps.
I'm not sure why people are replying to this thread to talk about coal, other than GP post the entire discussion is about nuke and natural gas. Yes. Coal is very bad. Natural gas is less bad. Literally nobody is arguing against this point. Both are very bad.
I have been where you are, posting the same thing, but I don't believe it is true today. Applications that hang and can't be killed is a much bigger problem to me in Linux than in Windows 10. I also don't reformat, at most i reset Windows or applications but it has been years. I agree with the rest but in everyday use the registry is not a problem in Windows.

The difference to me is that I as a power user might be able to fix it myself in Linux but by only using the tools normal users know of I must say I cannot recognize that this is a weak point in Windows today. Clicking the X to close an app and getting stuck with a dead app is much worse in, say, Debian than in Windows.

With that said.. I don't use Windows where I have a choice but that is mainly for philosophical reasons these days. Mac I don't touch. I feel it is the worst of both camps.
It is almost never about saturating the memory bandwidth, but waiting to load instructions and data from memory. That wait time counted in computer cycles is huge.
David Karpf: There is a deeply baked ideology of the internet going back to the ’90s, a sort of West Coast ideal that engineers and entrepreneurs, particularly around Silicon Valley, are the modern heroes of society. They are innovating and building a better world. They’re the good guys. The bad guys are the old industries and the regulators who get in the way.

And these innovator-inventor heroes are the ones who are paving the way to a new and better world, because they’re such incredible geniuses. But the hero has to overcome resistance, and what we should do is cheer for him because of his genius and his brilliance. And 10 years ago, Elon Musk was the archetype of that story. He was really treated as the guy who is going to kind of save the world, between his electric cars and his rockets.

There’s a lot of problems with that story. But the most basic problem is that it’s utter horseshit.

https://archive.vn/7vAdR

I wouldn't call it utter horseshit. Many groups of people who believe they are on a mission and have a cause tend to mythologize themselves. It's a way to feel motivated. And there is some truth in it because the engineers in Silicon Valley and the other high tech enclaves have changed the world and many are incredibly smart. I think it's more accurate to say that many smart people after a success or two tend to think they are good at everything and can solve most problems. It's a shock when they discover their own limitations as Elon Musk is demonstrating now.
Simply, because they are not unrelated. It would be duplication to have two separate functions to do two tasks that have so much in common.
Practices are changing, and I'm not a specialist.

It is a fascinating book - and not just for the pitfall chapter.
The tracking they were fined for was for ad fraud detection, not personalization.
I agree this isn’t the worst-case as you mentioned above. However, it is far from the best case scenario which is closer to “only fake testing vault data was exposed”.

The vault leak is acceptable in terms of Lastpass’s formal threat model but could still result in real user pain e.g. targeted spear phishing using plaintext fields like URLs, or compromise for users with weak passwords.
Unrelated/extra info:

I drank milk throughout my life ( Milk is part of daily meal in Asia ). I never had any problem related to milk. Then few years ago I moved to USA. First thing I noticed was milk. It felt like drinking heavily diluted milk. I tried 1%, 2%, whole milk, milk with Vitamin D, Organic milk. You name it , I have tried it. It also gave me stomach ache, constipation. I got to know that I am lactose intolerant. That was weird to know since I drank milk my whole life and never had any problem.

Recently one of my friend suggested A2 brand milk saying he also felt all milk in USA tastes watered down milk. And oh my god it tastes exactly like what I used to drink. I don't have any issue like constipation or stomach ache. So I am guessing no more lactose intolerant! It's been more than 2 years I am on A2 brand milk. Recently Costco stopped selling A2 brand milk and instead started selling Kirkland brand A2 milk. That milk is horrible but for now I dont have any other option.
The data in that link shows that HMC provides a high quality undergraduate education. But they have very few graduate students doing research and teaching (just a handful of Master's degrees candidates) and don't have a doctoral program at all. So the statement by @CaveTech above is incorrect.
It's in violation of various EU privacy laws like GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

Yeah. Ban TikTok, have an American company make a clone.

Why is this insanity allowed ? China doesn’t allow Western social networks. Why do we allow our strategic enemy to have software on our phones? End this madness. Stop the sale of Chinese tech in the West, period. It’s all backdoored.

(if you think they are interested in “co-living” go talk to the Kremlin on how that went. China is bidding its time but their intention is to end US dominance. They tell us this and they release papers on how they intend to do it. If you think that’s ok, great. I don’t see how a democratic rule of law country, flaws as it may have, being replaced by a brutal dictatorship, is a good option).
To be honest, Go's mascot just makes me hate the language even more.

I feel like this is talking out of both sides of the mouth.

If the issue is that corporations aren't following data privacy laws, build the privacy into the tool at the software/ecosystem level (e.g make signup without true name / phone number / IMEI a legal requirement, signup without location sharing a legal requirement) then it'll be impossible to track journalists for both Chinese and American companies.
He was one of Musk believers that wanted to come in and help "fix" Twitter.
I read Donald Knuth does this. He uses a USB flash drive to transfer data to and from his main book-writing Linux workstation. Air gapping has the added bonus that the constant distraction and breakage risk of never ending app updates and security patches is mitigated. As Knuth is someone from the computing era before even floppies and network cards were a thing, when fast data transfer between sites meant mailing a deck of punch cards or reels of tape, it probably doesn't feel that slow to him. He also essentially quit email on January 1, 1990, after using it since 1975, because it was such a distraction from getting stuff done.

What I'd like is to just have a service where I can self-publish books, that can be bought. Ideally I could just upload images from stable diffusion, and text blurbs per image from chatGPT.

I often hear a lot of people speak poorly about Googlers, claiming they’re lazy/entitled/whatever, but I hope we can all agree that performance reviews should be fair and not expect “the near impossible”.

It seems likely that Google over-hired and is trying to avoid public layoffs or just raise productivity/velocity. I wish employers who wanted to layoff workers would do it directly instead.
Agreed...I don't understand why this isn't an obvious thing all of congress would get behind. Change the law if necessary.
I think wokism has been taken way to far to the point it tries to subvert freedom of speech, critical thinking, and reality. Almost half the country is NOT far left and no amount of guilt tripping in the media is going to change that, and I say that as a very left person. We have to compromise and be civil and the people in the middle need to go vote despite the fact that both parties seem to want to be polar opposites.
Turbos also run periodically and reasonably infrequently, at least for street vehicles. They're invoked generally under high-acceleration or load, not when cruising at constant speed.

A flywheel would typically be spinning not only far more often but at great speed and load.
The GUI is still essentially single-threaded. Only BeOS with its fully parallel UI had it right.
The fuss is that by refusing to solve the Demarcation Problem, a lot of non-science has to be treated as science. Feyerabend points out that there's ultimately no difference between scientific "hypothesis revision" and pseudoscientific "moving the goalposts".

The astronomers hate being lumped in with the astrologers, and with good reason. Feyerabend points out that it's maddeningly hard to be rigorous about exactly what that reason is. When the astronomers claim "the scientific method", this book shows them that they're wrong, but without suggesting a really good alternative.

Giving $10 billion to the astrologers (the price of the JWST) is not an option. It would be nice to have a method to say why. Ultimately, that's the real controversy: not epistemology, but money.
If there is exactly one field with the “may contain spaces” problem there’s a better solution: parse the line forwards for the fields up to that one, parse the line backwards for the remaining.

You're forgetting stuff like Metro, introduced with Windows Phone 7 in 2010 (then infamously Windows 8), and Android was getting flatter from around 4.x in 2011. The trend was definitely moving towards flat UI, and people really were criticising Apple for not following it. Apple wasn’t really a leader in this stuff, certainly not on an OS level.
Almost 100% guaranteed, but it is still possible for the OS to be delayed in sending it the coordinates. Of course that means that the OS is badly written.
Without a doubt. There was a David Crane video from 2011 linked here by russellbeattie(?) in which David plugs this book himself in the middle of his talk. It's that good. :)
Were the journalists foolish enough to install the app (not victim blaming but come on) or does the TikTok app scan for other wifi signatures in the vicinity and that’s how they correlated the locations?
It must be an indictment of something that “introspection, long term planning, thorough consideration of the idea of changing career paths away from STEM” can be with a straight face described as “staring into the abyss.”
128 bytes and no framebuffer.

They had to "race the beam" ... but the VCS was not as fast as the beam, which is why Atari 2600 games always have a horizontally stretched look to them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_the_Beam

"The book's title comes from the fact that the Atari 2600, initially branded the VCS (Video Computer System), did not have a video frame buffer, and required the programmers to write each line of video to the television, one line at a time. As there were only a limited number of machine cycles in which to do this, the programmers were literally racing a high speed electron beam across the screen."
I don't really. It's what I usually copy and paste when I'm trying to compare text to speech voices :-)

ADDED: I think there's a rhythm to the words and that presents a good opportunity to see how natural the TTS is.

I've seen so many great passages it's hard to chose just one, but this gives the flavour:

"Man's natural instinct, in fact, is never toward what is sound and true; it is toward what is specious and false. Let any great nation of modern times be confronted by two conflicting propositions, the one grounded upon the utmost probability and reasonableness and the other upon the most glaring error, and it will almost invariably embrace the latter. It is so in politics, which consists wholly of a succession of unintelligent crazes, many of them so idiotic that they exist only as battle-cries and shibboleths and are not reducible to logical statement at all. It is so in religion, which, like poetry, is simply a concerted effort to deny the most obvious realities. It is so in nearly every field of thought. The ideas that conquer the race most rapidly and arouse the wildest enthusiasm and are held most tenaciously are precisely the ideas that are most insane. This has been true since the first "advanced" gorilla put on underwear, cultivated a frown and began his first lecture tour in the first chautauqua, and it will be so until the high gods, tired of the farce at last, obliterate the race with one great, final blast of fire, mustard gas and streptococci." - Meditation on Meditation
