You can't get anywhere near a 10% click rate with random leads like that.

The reason companies like this are sought after is the idea that their users are warm leads with an existing relationship with the brand. People who have (supposedly) gone out of their way to sign up for something are several orders of magnitude more likely to engage with e-mails compared to e-mailing them randomly from an unknown brand.
This is absolutely essential if you care at all about reducing Internet ads. Runs on anything, is dead simple to use and you can funnel your entire home internet through it.
You can't do proper adblocking (e.g. uBlock Origin) on Safari. That's why I don't really use it except when on battery and out travelling - and even then I'll often avoid using Safari since ads are so awful. Yes, I've tried the Safari adblockers, they suck. As far as I can tell they do marginally more at best than a DNS block.

Once you can't use uBlock Origin with Chrome due to the proposed Manifest V3, Firefox will be the only real option.
This guy is already using TLS. The site has already obtained a certificate from a CA. How does http/1.1 or http/2 have anything to do with it?
I've been looking for a standard way to store approximate dates in exif or xmp metadata.

I've also read that ISO 8601 (https://www.datafix.com.au/BASHing/2020-02-12.html) covers approx dates.

I haven't seen any standard though on how to actually record that data in a files metadata. Could you point me in the right direction there?
Not entirely. There's some of that yes, but the reality is regardless of the source of the spike protein when it gets into tissues it causes damage and that damage can be long term. It's all about what the protein is binding to or what tissues it gets in and how the body's immune system responds to that. It's the immune system responding that is doing the most damage and the lingering effects from that.
Yeah the community loves using the cirque trackpads. They come in varying sizes and afaik are also used in the Steam Controller.

I personally just built a keyboard with an integrated trackball however. It’s great!
Huh, I find that I like a lot of the things that you hate. Refactoring and rewriting can be tedious, but it’s a hundred times more fulfilling than fixing bug #39004.
we just got a super shiny brand new samsung s95b that's oled and really nice but it will never see the light of day on the Internet precisely because of this bullshit.
I have to use Chrome on a Mac because Safari refuses to support multiple profiles. I'm a fan of compartmentalization, so my side-business saved passwords are different than my personal saved passwords. Apple would prefer that I create two separate accounts on my Mac (and the annoyance of syncing dotfiles between the two), but Chrome just lets me switch between users seamlessly.

It seems like such an easy feature to add, but I'd bet there are Apple politics in play preventing Safari from adding this feature.
Exactly. Hence the quotes around "racist."

It's pathetic that some pompous asses down-modded and FLAGGED that comment, which simply and jokingly referred to a ridiculous and widely-reported claim.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I do as well. Shared libraries get their own repo as well and are published in a package manager. Honestly, in terms of enabling concurrent development across multiple teams while simply using common OSS software, polyrepo seems a lot easier.
It looks like the benchmarks used the latest versions of Delta and Iceberg, but chose a version of Hudi that is over 6 months old. Hudi v0.12.2 is more advanced than v0.12.0 which the benchmark did not consider. As the Databricks CIDR paper states, and as mentioned in the Onehouse article, Hudi by default is optimized for UPSERTs vs INSERTs and is a 1-line config change that is appropriate for a true apples-apples comparison. See both: https://www.onehouse.ai/blog/apache-hudi-vs-delta-lake-trans... and https://github.com/brooklyn-data/delta/pull/2
It decouples your obligation to repay from the service rendered or product delivered. This can be good or bad, just like a software abstraction.
Agree. No longer having wrapper apps will be a blessing for everyone.
Is it really that hard for owners to resist the alure of a buyout? I dunno, I always like to think that I’d continue doing the good thing that I’ve got going.
This article is a counterpoint to an article we wrote over a year ago which looked at some negative and historical issues with Safari:

As developers of a Safari exclusive ad blocker – Magic Lasso Adblock – we thought it was time to write this follow-up after seeing the progress Safari has made in the last 12 months.

The Safari team deserves kudos for their significant progress and delivery.
I think that's called "dark academia".
This effect only has an impact on the surrounding sea level, it somewhat counterbalances the local sea level rise from the melting ice sheet. It has no impact ( likes tides) on global sea levels.

Whoah. That's a strange definition of "agency". It's suggests that the Ukrainians of the Holodomor had more agency than we credit them for, doesn't it? I'm not trying to dunk on you. I just think your definition is broken and has taken you to a weird place.
No one at any point did any quick back-of-the-envelope math on the size of the user list vs. the number of college students in America and suspected anything suspicious. Smart!
I just watched his Lex Friedman interview and I have to say even if you're not into chess you'll probably enjoy it just because of the charisma and energy between the two. You can tell they may have just met but the shared experience bonds them right away. I won't spoil too much, but just lookup "Lex Friedman Gotham Chess" on your search engine, you'll find it.

Only if you have a quality engineer at the wheel though. Otherwise you just end up with horrible software.

I guess that’s why large enterprises hate it, since they’re all about reducing risk.

If they get middling software every time then that’s preferable to the two extremes.

I always start by asking the candidate to tell me about themselves. They often go on and on about work. Then I say "Now tell me about yourself".

Maybe your first question might work to get more at that idea.

Incredible language. FORTH is like that unsung bluesman from the 30's that inspired rock superstars of the 60's & '70s. The OG, barely-above-assembly-language language.

I report to the CTO, but I have a lot of clout with the founders. I would say I am even friends with them. They certainly respect me. I feel the current CTO may even feel threatened by me because I helped the company through some awful prior tech leadership issues and I'm sure he knows about that.

How would I discreetly escalate this? I really don't want to be a snake here.

I have thought about saying "I need to work somewhere else in the company as I can't buy these changes" but the issue with the CTO now is he doesn't want a product unlike his vision for how it is set up. This product is my product and it is very simple in terms of deployments and config. So there is no room for that, unless I somehow pivot into a non-tech role or a tech-adjacent role like QA or something which sounds unpalatable.
Whenever something like this comes to light, the real question I wonder about it the number of similar things that didn't get exposed. E.g., the acquirer is too embarrassed to admit they got taken. Or too chaotic to notice. Or the founder stays on and is sufficiently good at covering things up. Or just charming enough that it's all let go. Or there's a post-acquisition strategic change or high-level executive turnover such that nobody really notices or cares that it never works. Or that it gets covered up internally because the executive who pushed for the deal doesn't want to look bad in front of other execs. And so on, and so on.

For those inclined to scoff, consider this blog: https://liesandstartuppr.blogspot.com/

It covers in detail a startup that was supposedly working on wireless power transmission via ultrasound. From the way he tells it, the company kept raising money long past the point it was obvious the technology couldn't work.
I think there is a strong punishment system for the non-labelers. People that feel strongly about this stuff are really rabid, and seem to spend all their time calling people out on perceived slights.
This assumes it a company, and not a college kid or someone in a low income country (as OP suggested). If they had a Microsoft or Adobe budget, it'd be one thing, but most small companies usually have to make trade-offs, and if they had to pick, they should prioritize adding value over the fight for fairness.
I'll correct myself. That was how it was done circa 2000-2005, but my info was way out of date because I haven't followed kernel development much for a while. Here's some stuff about how it's done now. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/testing-ove...

Basically there is a system called KUnit for writing white box unit tests and there is code coverage to determine coverage as you would expect, then there are systems for static analysis and verifying assertions.

Ah, copy images. The date on the copy image would be the date the copy was made. The date of the original image would be metadata about the subject. I've been scanning a lot of my negatives from as far back as the 70s, and that's the convention. Date scan creation is one thing, the image in the the scan has metadata like subject, location, and date.

EXIF has almost 500 fields, but look at 0x9003 DateTimeOriginal,
0x9004 CreateDate.

The advantage of markets is central planning has proven to be incapable of dealing with the complexities of markets. Making things worse in central planning is the problem of putting an inept person in charge. In a market system, the inept business goes out of business.
COVID-19 is no joke. I know people want to move on with their lives, but people should stick to N95/KN-95/KF-94/FFP2/FFP3 masks for the time being unless we want to create a massive health care crisis and ruin the global economy as the if people get reinfected every few months, this would be imminent!

That's a problem with any system.
No, that was because that team did a rewrite of an existing product and one of the "optimistic" reasons for the rewrite was to make the code smaller...
For a lot of people the "American dream" is going to college and buying a house, even if your family can't support those aspirations. That's not doable for the vast majority of Americans unless they take on some amount of debt. And tbh it's often a good idea from a financial perspective as long as you're thoughtful about when to use leverage
Gmail async loading attachments and moving everything down a row when they do has been killing me in the web app recently. Hate it. Have to consciously wait a few seconds before use every time now.
My university definitely had expulsion as a punishment for plagiarism but it was rarely used in the first instance, especially on undergrads or in cases of collusion with other students rather than something like essay commissioning. If you were caught plagiarising a major assignment I don’t doubt that you’d be expelled, but a small coursework (especially in first year) would have probably just been zeroed out or you would have failed the module.

This is much more obvious for meal kit plans websites. They all use the same template and it just sucks because it's not a user-friendly UI either.
I mean, I’ve never heard of any woman being unhappy because of a nagging husband.

The source of unhappiness for women seems to be the reverse. A husband that’s not doing all the things she nags about automatically.

I think priorities are just fundamentally different somehow.
It is a grave error to introduce Forth without noting that it is universally recognized as the First Programming Religion.

Lately Lisp and Rust have begun to take on religious overtones, but Forth came first.

It is probably also a mistake to introduce it without mentioning that the first two (normally one-character) words defined are pronounced "builds" and "does".
Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum had a 5.6° C jump

Yes.

My take is they are reshaping the way things are done, it looks good on paper, and to bosses or share holders, it places more emphasis on middle management for when things work well, less on the mere grunt(s) pushing out the code.

Over all I look at this as if it were a job inside a factory or work shed. An employee is coasting, long in the job, they are independent and performing well and probably understand their area more than any other employee. The new team have arrived and have decided to install the latest ideas even if they're not entirely appropriate, but it's what's wanted, and the updating process might allow the new team gain a better insight. It's a win win for the new team, since the process will allow them to see something familiar as well as appearing to be implementing the new way of doing things. (Not that I greatly understand it, but IMO the microservices architecture fad is just that, something new, but as I understand the concept, a lot of scope for trouble and security issues that will be hard fought behind the scenes.) However it enables the new team to make it harder for the old employee to coast along, because not only are they continuing to do the old job, they now are pressed for time to utilise so that they can build towards the new system. To add insult to injury, any pertinent questions the employee has about their new direction are sidelined by various tactics.

The employee is not being treated well and ultimately being marginalised.
For curiosity I upgraded the kernel of my VPS running Debian 11 from 5.10 to 6.1. The networking became visibly slower. All TCP receive and send rate droped to at least 1/4 of the original. I had to restore the original kernel and the network became fine again.

I don't think it is a bug in the kernel. More likely the userspace or the host system needs to be reconfigured to work well with the bleeding edge kernel. Still I am curious, what exactly may cause this dramatic drop?
I don't understand why this narative is being pushed

Carlos Ghosn predicted all of this already decades ago [1], and what's going to come next, fuel cell with hydrogen, he also pushed for the electric car in Europe and sold the successful Renault Zoé [2] before anyone else in the West

Every time like this, bunch of people who believe safe programming is a language capability will jump out.

But in fact, the most valuable part of the code in any nontrivial system is the “unsafe” yet safe ones. You write memory safe code by understanding how computers memory works, sometimes you can use certain patterns to make that process easier, but not always. This is regardless what language you use: you programming in Rust, still the most valuable part is where one can get the “unsafe” part right.

A good C programmer will always a better Rust programmer when he wants to. That’s it.
Same. Safari has always been very performant, but it doesn't matter when you're basically running around naked without ublock.
Ideally you have an emergency fund so it doesn't matter. But compared to paying the cost up front I think you'd be better of using BNPL actually. You'll have more cash on hand to pay for necessities like food/rent, in exchange for a ding to your credit score if you don't have enough money left over to pay the monthly payments on the camera you use for your budding photography business
> Tends to make very frustrating-to-use software, because it's never fully working and has minimal documentation.

This was written in a time when documentation/spec was often written before the software, without taking into account the difficulties of implementing it.

Agile seems to imply that software comes before documentation in terms of priorities.

> That's what I'm thinking almost every day when working with Apple devices. There is so, so much basic stuff broken on both macOS and iOS. I truly miss the days where Apple devices were a reliable tool, even a source of inspiration.

With all due respect, whenever these days were, I suspect people were saying the same thing then because people have a tendency to romanticize the past no matter what year it is.
Yeah my guestbooks from the 90s and early 00s were all just cgis that directly edited the html with the new comments. Great times.
Triangulating skill level of prospects can be challenging the further down the Niche Hole you go. At the very edge of the problem space the prospect is going to fall off a cliff; it can't be avoided, there's just too much specialization.

However . .

When prospective associates are responding to these sorts of questions, it's possibly more informative to see how they handle questions that they don't know the answer to.

Native intelligence and initiative outweigh a set quantity of specialized knowledge; far more important to find out how a prospect thinks about the problem and how they respond to these situations under pressure.

Problem here is that the interviewers need to know their stuff, and, regretfully, that's not been the case for virtually any interview board I've assisted. All the participants were far, far too high above the levels where work happened, well into the vertiginous expanse of Aero/Def Management Brain Rot. Best I could do was wave my hands vigorously while silently mouthing the words HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WHITESPACE MEANS . . to no avail.

Thing is, I know it's not just my industry. It happens in the "normal" world too. Some guy makes a thingy with Framework X, leaves, and then it's practically impossible for management to find another random guy who knows Framework X in just the same way, because damned if management knows what the heck Framework X is.

Seriously, do you mind enlightening us of how you get that sense of the market?

Because it is in total contradiction to what I see on the field...

I started to reply to your comment but stopped as I can hardly agree with any single sentence you wrote.
There are plenty of layers at which it's misogynistic, but the most obvious one perhaps is that it wholly centers around the man in the relationship. Why must the wife be the source of the husband's unhappiness ("nagging wife" trope)? Why does he get to be the great philosopher if they're both unhappy?

You can say "it's just a saying, it would be equally true with the roles reversed" -- but then, why aren't they?

Sure, on the misogyny scale, it's pretty mild, but sayings like this that implicitly reinforce the male-centered world we live in are in some ways the most insidious.
It sounds to me like you need an accountability buddy more than a new system. Having goals that you have to announce to a fellow human being will force you to ignore the distractions and focus on reaching those goals. Even a small goal achieved daily is better than chaos.

As for finding things, you could just use your operating systems search features, and accept the trade offs that are involved.

Regardless of the tools, there are no perfect hierarchies, tags are a much better way to find things.
So sorry to hear that. One needs friends and family especially during such tough times. Hoping that things work out well for you all

> Can (e.g) Postgresql wait until the whole world is relying on their software, and then pull a licence change that makes it non-free/libre and requiring a paid licence fee?

It's happened before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement#...

The short version is that if you hold the copyright, you can relicense new versions as you see fit, but can't change the license on already released versions. If the copyright is held by individual contributors, then you'd need unanimous consent from all of them, because the company is effectively licensing it from them in approximately the same way a user would.

PostgreSQL, specifically, is in the latter category, so it's not really a concern: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ#Do_I_need_to_...
