> There are many ways to target cookies without saying 'cookies' directly.

Because cookies are just one piece of data, and GDPR is, suprise, General Data Protection Regulation

> This is also quite the oversimplification, by this logic Facebook/Google don't need any consent as that user data and ability to serve targeted ads is required for the business to function.

It is an oversimplification that works in the vast majority of cases. Even if targeted ads are required, protection of user data is still required. And when pressed Meta and Google have to prove that they actually need, say, a full facial profile of every person on the planet to sell someone a haemorrhoids cream.

> It's also telling that the GDPR.EU website itself seems to flaunt the law with this

This is a good catch. I think they changed that in not-so-distant past. Things like this need to be called out and fixed.

And not swept under the rug with a shrug and "the law is bad". That's exactly what happened before GDPR but without any visibility: every country had its own version of data protection laws, and all tech companies couldn't care less. Suddenly they care (and try to blame the law).
The Litestream and LiteFS sections near the beginning of the article cover your first question.

I don't feel it did.
Relax. I didn’t say they don’t exist or that my Camry didn’t have it. I’m just saying I didn’t know it had it.
This is a lie, of course.

The US spends about 170-180 billion U.S. dollars on medical R&D, the EU spends about 100-110 billion dollars on medical R&D.

While not equally, but Europe is definitely not "freeloading".

The costs of US healthcare lie squarely within the insurance tower of babel.

Caroline Ellison Plea Hearing Transcript (12/19/2022) [pdf]
The cycle counters are a just monotonically incrementing values, so polling them just lets you calculate the average effective frequency over the poll interval. You're right that stuff like i/o might happen in different numbers of cycles depending on actual frequency, but those operations generally take the same amount of wall time either way, so it comes out in the wash.
Nestable comment syntax is also nice. At least some MLs (eg SML) has it, that I know of.

Indentation-sensitivity can also solve similar problems. (Indentation does not have to exclude requiring graphic termination. A formal language can require both. Or just a helpful tool.)

(Also agree with 'kebab-case', although the name is new to me and a bit weird.)
Good point w.r.t anti-slip. These are probably inappropriate in most commercial or industrial settings.
Joke’s on you. My Camry was only $25k new.
Godspeed. I remember putting a $50 8 bit Sound Blaster in my 386 when I was 12. Suddenly games had music and I could even play and record wav files. It connected to my CD-ROM so I could pipe CDs to the speakers. Easily my favorite computer upgrade of all time.
As I stated earlier, it does make sense to deploy shadow comms infrastructure along the southern border (and northern border of Mexico). Detecting a bunch of cell phone traffic in a completely remote area nowhere near any official border crossings is indeed hugely suspicious. And the cartels do set up their own infrastructure there.

What doesn't make sense is deploying infra in the vicinity of major cities. There's plenty of benign cell phone traffic there, and this kind of pattern matching is not viable.
I’m particularly afraid of it on Amazon, where a $20 dispute could nix my 800+ book Kindle library.

If non-competes are enforceable by the German style listed above, the employee forced silent by the non-compete, even after they are done working, but the company is also forced to pay them.

However, in that case, the company has two options: Forced non-compete with whatever percentage of salary is forced by law, or don't do a non-compete at all. While the employee has only one option: Whatever the employer chooses. Similar to most of the US (barring a few states) except US employees don't even get compensated.

Meanwhile, if employees aren't forced to accept non-competes, the employee and employer can work out a deal or not. Given that as far as I know, California employers don't regularly pay people their TC not to work after they quit, it seems that non-competes are more of a threat against employees than something actually necessary to prevent trade secrets or whatever.

Although even outside of California, I don't know anyone personally who had a non-compete enforced after quitting a job (unless this happened and they didn't tell me).

YouTube Premium has been an amazing alternative to piracy IMO. A lot of music I listen to (covers, Marcus Veltri) don't even make it to MP3s and such, so just ad free is good enough. The recommendation engine is spot on, it's how I discovered Japanese city pop.

YouTube Music has everything that Spotify has, but better algorithm imo. Instead of radio/playlist stuff, I can just pick a song and it will autogenerate based on the mood of that song. So if you pick a song that's good to sing to, you get other songs to sing along to. Play something from a soundtrack, and it pulls similar soundtrack songs.

I think this is the way to beat piracy; offer something more than just the song, video, all that. Steam achievements and "skip intro" isn't enough though.

There are things that I've been to pirate though - all the Sims expansions, all the crap that goes on Netflix for 5 months then gets removed, things unique to one platform that doesn't have anything else (e.g. certain HBO stuff), things with lots of seasons but incomplete sets of them.
I realized that I need to keep changing the techniques I'm using to keep my brain on my toes.

Basically, the effectiveness of any productivity idea/hack starts out the most effective and interesting and then after a few weeks/months it usually starts to become less motivating. At that point, I know I need to either find a new idea or revamp my interest in the original plan.

For example, people will say to use a phone timer or hourglass or notebook or whiteboard in different articles. I have all those things, and once I accepted that cycling through them and adding new things to the rotation doesn't mean they failed it became much easier to keep the chain of not procrastinating going.

Along with this, I've also tried to accept that sometimes I won't notice the decrease in effectiveness until I've started to fail at something, and that's just part of the reset/switch period. If I'm aware of myself and notice things becoming harder, I can try to pre-empt the procrastination by looking for a new tactic. If I'm too busy or bored or stressed and I mess up my schedule, it's not going to last forever. Sometimes it's fine to pull an all-nighter. I think a reasonable amount is about once a month, but some people would try to do less.
It’s an amazing tool. It really opens the world up to all the cool stuff clickhouse has to offer.

I can see why you have come to that opinion, but I would actually put myself immediately into tribe 3.

My code is not poetry; it kinda sucks. I’m not a gifted programmer, which is why I make up for my shortcomings with better tools. I use Haskell entirely for the sake of pragmatism [and have in fact bet my businesses on it]. My experience is such that I can build something that just works much more quickly and reliably in Haskell or Elm than I ever could in PHP or Ruby or JavaScript or Clojure[Script]. And I wrote each of these professionally for years.
Right now it will likely work well. It is trained on a largely US based data set and so accents within that data set will do better, but the way the model works I wouldn't expect many challenges with Australian.

Interestingly, as we dive deeper into phonics and phonemes it will become more challenging as what may be correct for one accent, would be incorrect for another. We will need the ability to select - by child - what is 'allowed'. This applies to dialects as well.

I would absolutely be up for doing a skilled trade as a side job but the problem is I'd have to do a really long course and work as an unpaid slave laborer... to learn how to stick a pipe into another pipe.

All these weird trade jobs have these ridiculous requirements as if it's actually mentally challenging to learn them. If you want to shoe horses you need to do a fucking bachelor's degree equivalent in horse shoeing. If you want to remove ingrown toenails it's the same. I could learn that shit in a week and you're telling me I'd have to spend half a decade gaining a piece of paper just because they want to pretend it's hard? You're hammering nails into a fucking horse.
While I agree, I've met people who think the idea of a negative index is completely absurd. Their brains seem to immediately reject the concept.

At least Debian claims it compiles Chromium such that it will. Brave here also does, no config needed.
The "new licensing model" (which I believe is a bluff) is certainly suicide, but Qualcomm might die years before Arm. Also, given the strain in the Softbank-Arm relationship a bust-out is not impossible.
As long as there exists a bijection between whatever you choose as an index and the natural numbers starting from 0 it is fine. (I.e. the range of valid indices must be a countable set)
In your example that bijection could be:

3 -> 0
4 -> 1
5 -> 2
6 -> 3

This works for vectors as well, so why not have a range from (0,0) to (5,5) to index into an array arr?
You could write the function that does the mapping manually:

arr[(x,y)] = backing_array[x / 5 + y] //bounds checks omitted

But here it can be automated quite simply to allow for vectors of even 3 or 4 dimensions.

Just know that custom indexes / ranges are not automagically broken. Personally, I like how much easier it is to read the intent with custom indices.
> faster depends on the workload.

but also for most daily desktop workloads the difference is irrelevant tbh.

games already should be pinned to one CCD for max performance

compilation and similar will optimally spawn across both CCDs making it not matter (through you want to only split parallel computation units across CCDs but parallel code gen for the same unit should be on the same CCD)

So I don't thinks it matters outside of artificial "challenges" to try to maximize performance beyond what is normally reasonable for a desktop system (due to work/time involved in doing so).
disclosure: work for Google

I read the article and I'm not really convinced that something bad is happening here. A lot of the comments here are purporting that something unethical is happening here - in the article I read: “Ultimately, even through negotiations, we were unable to find a pathway that we legally could do and ethically should do,” Simon said. “And the partnership dissolved.” (referring to a previous design proposal). So it seems like there's a rigorous review process here which demonstrably can shut down the project or prevent forward movement if there's something bad happening.

Also, I don't get this spin along the length of the article that Google is somehow bullying the US military around. I mean, I get that narrative when it's Google is working with smaller businesses and using capital as leverage. But do we really think that Google > DoD and that the US Navy is just getting strongarmed around? I choose to think they have agency here and _if_ there's blame (big if), how is it not mostly on the Navy who is holding the data and running the show?
As we've seen so many layoffs a common refrain is that CEOs say "they take responsibility" but it means nothing. I thought it was interesting that at least in this case the CEO laid herself off too.

Good for the engineer who is an expert in those audio and video testing and can get hired for the role. We should be thankful engineering has provided many folk who were previously poor, an opportunity to rise to the middle class simply by studying and being smart.

(1) You should probably investigate bankruptcy (it won’t deal with tax or child support debt, but it can help with other debt, and maybe create a solid record for changed conditions for child support

(2) Government employers, while the pay is significantly lower than private industry usually, are often more willing to overlook criminal history not directly related to job function.

I used to buy CDs back before and especially during the rise of Napster. It made discovering new bands and music so much easier than randomly finding something new on the radio.

Then they started suing customers, and I stopped, just stopped paying for media. I've got MP3s of the CDs I had, and there's YouTube for anything I care to listen to that's not in that.

The whole extractive "Intellectual Property" industry can go pound sand as far as I'm concerned. The only reason I have Netflix is inertia.

Definitely a helium miner in play here. Plenty of pics on reddit where people have built self-powered deployments, solar charges a battery inside, 4g for internet access, and mine away helium all day long. Was very profitable 14-24 months ago but HNT crypto price has plummeted and helium founders pretty much bet the same type of deployment could happen for 5g deployments which has pretty much been a disaster. 5g implementations require more $$$ equipment and pricey antennas, and a complex setup with a limited range.

The appeal of these helium miners was a very simple setup and low cost. I'd seen offers for people who work on cell towers in SLC to rent space for these miners. Plenty of places in the SLC that can reach a large % of the valley without having to go that high. I still have a single miner running in Vegas that has a 50km reach from a residential house with a single 5.8dbi antenna. Could easily put one on a hilltop but doubtful it would help. I highly doubt the cartel is invested in these, very low data throughput which why IoT devices are the target market.
Probably? I believe Tailscale slows free users down after 1tb of traffic each month, which seems reasonable relative to what other VPSes offer.

I used to complain a lot about Gnome and the big changes they made. I still don't love some of their decisions, but it has become simple to use for the masses, and I consider that a win for Desktop Linux adoption.
I think things could be seen as a little pricey nowadays compared to ~25 years ago, mainly due to video cards.

I built about half a dozen machines from parts since 1998 and it was almost a constant to spend $650-800 for a mid-range machine for about 20 of those years. This includes everything but a monitor, but it does include a decent video card.

His part list for $915 doesn't include a video card. With today's market a mid-range card will put you at a grand total of about $1,250-1,300. That's approaching 2x the cost of a solid mid-range machine that you could build 8 years ago.

Here's a couple of line items from my last part purchase in 2014:

- Intel Core i5-4460 LGA 1150 CPU $182
- Crucial MX100 256GB SSD $105
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $35

The crazy thing is, here we are 8+ years later and that same CPU cooler is $45, that's ~23% more expensive than almost a decade ago.

The exact CPU and SSD aren't worth price comparing because no one would buy them today since we have way better hardware at similar price points. For ~$180 you can grab a Ryzen 7 5700G and a 1TB SSD is about the same price as 256GB from back then. That feels like it's on a higher end of mid-range for today. It's really video cards where you get killed.

I say this as a huge proponent of TypeScript and static types in general: I'm fairly bearish on this proposal

1) TypeScript supports a huge set of syntax for describing types, and I would be surprised if the standard ever supports all or even most of that, which would mean you can't skip the build step for most real-world TS projects

2) Most front-end projects will continue to have a build step anyway because of things like JSX, minification, and bundling. And if you've got a build step already, stripping out types is one of the easier things to do as a part of it (and you would want to do it even with this proposal, as a part of minification)

3) On the back-end Deno and Bun run TypeScript natively without a build step. Node doesn't, and it won't be displaced overnight, and it may end up the biggest beneficiary of such a proposal. But even there, build tools like esbuild are fast and easy enough to use that you don't gain much by being able to avoid them (and if you're benefitting from static checking, you're setting up at least one tool already!)

I won't go so far as to say it's a bad thing, but I think it'll end up one of those standards that nobody really uses

"What's the line" as in if you were to draw a line in the sand - what would be "enough" to put you over said hypothetical line of leaving GMail? I think OP may be implying that this should be "enough", but I don't want to make any assumptions.

One thing to note about Proton is if you want to do any shared addresses, say for family use cases, they're missing common features like aliases because of the implied encryption. I tried to switch to it a few years ago and it didn't work for all of the use cases I needed. I do pay for an account with them for other use cases and they're great otherwise. I also tried Zoho a long time ago (>8 years now) and it wasn't good at the time. I've been using FastMail for more than 7 years now and moved all my Gmail domains over about 2 years after that. I have nothing but great things to say about them and aren't affiliated in any way other than being a customer.
