I mourn the loss of apply and save buttons in settings screens. It's supposed to act as a transaction does in a database. You set the controls to your preferred state, click apply, and get an error message that setting Y cannot be active when setting X is. So you fix your adjustments and try again until you get it right. Without this, you've already set X, and Y is either still active or turning on X turned it off, so you're in a state you didn't want to be in and bad things may have already happened.

Timing may also be a problem. Settings might affect each other, or you may want to change a bunch of settings so that they all happen at once. You can also run into problems where you want to flip setting A from on to off and flip setting B from off to on, but they can't both be off or both be on at the same time.

My biggest annoyance though is that I have decades of doing it one way, and now it's flipped. Automatic saving on Microsoft Word when you're editing a file on OneDrive still annoys me. No longer can I take an older copy of something, change a few things, and save it as a new document. I've just managed to mangle the original document through sheer muscle memory (from five minutes ago when I did the same thing in the same copy of word to a document on my disk drive).
Sure and that will drive up demand for non-sanctioned energy and prices will rise from their current lower demand levels. As India takes on more production responsibilities, its energy requirements will increase accordingly. Someone's done the math am sure.
Not all energy is created equal though. There are applications where 1kwh of oil is more valuable than 1kwh of electricity.

Which has been almost abandoned since the developer left ReactOS contribution. There's no maintainer if one wants to contribute to Btrfs. IIRC, it was done to find a viable alternative for NTFS as it is almost as hard to develop ReactOS itself. Still, lack of an open source NTFS driver is the most important lack of ReactOS. Because many of the reliability issues are tied to filesystem reliability and FAT is not as reliable as NTFS. When you do a hard reset, registry might get corrupt because it could not flush to disk properly and without a Journaling file system, it's not easy to prevent, rollback, recover from this situation.
I think this is a little short-sighted on Amazon's part.

PTA/PTOs were onboarding loyal Amazon customers via Amazon Smile because of the fundraising. In the last PTO I was involved with, Smile accounted for about 2% of our donations ($3000/year = ~$150K in household spending from our school).

To put that in perspective, about 90% of our $150K annual fund raise was direct donations from parents and local businesses, AND Amazon's contribution was 3 of the 60 MacBook Airs in the One-to-one laptop program our magnet was funding annually. Maybe we judge "effectiveness" on a different scale than Amazon but we sure appreciated their 5% contribution to that program.

Now these organizations will switch all that customer loyalty to Target Red Card.

"Would you be willing to take a brief survey following your chat?"

How many times have you thought to yourself: No, I would not be willing -- and in fact I would like you to not even ask me in the future!

The fact that you are not given the opportunity to say "And do not ask me in the future" is an example of a dark pattern.

I'm glad Springer is drawing attention to this. There is a short PDF you can download on Springer's site.

I knew that phrase in caps would bite me at the end. I studied comp sci because I liked the field and expected that in my job I would learn and expand my knowledge about it. But the reality was completely opposite of all my expectation. The whole industry wanted me to provide service for things I was not prepared nor have an innate attitude/willingness/mindset to grasp and formulate a valuable opinion that other people can use without disappointment. It is hard for me to see disappointment from clients when they expected something I don't have the competency to provide. As software engineer I like to build things independently from their value in the market.

Well, I'm not positive of that since the primary would be a long ways away. Remember how bad of a look for Biden leaving Afghanistan was and how little anybody talks about it now?

And also sometimes politicians switch parties [1] so voting for the party you switched to sounds like a great way to drum up support.

> With all of that, I'm not convinced that the concessions are that big of a deal.

Afaik, the concessions are mostly just setting up ground-work so that the recipients can further their political career faster. Which technically is also good for the constituents as they should get more pork.

That presumes the client stores anything locally + in plaintext. Clients like Facebook Messenger, Slack, and Discord have no local storage other than (opaque, fragmentary, useless) cache databases, because they're just "webapps in a can"; while many of the more modern native chat clients like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc keep all their synced state encrypted-at-rest on disk.

Also, that presumes you're on desktop. On mobile, you just can't poke into another app's sandbox/container that way (unless the target app hasn't explicitly granted made some part of its container-filesystem externally accessible; and there's no reason these apps would.) And many people only have a mobile device.

If you're okay with a partial solution, a far easier one would be scraping the data out of the few clients that have web-app versions through browser extensions that read the state out of the page they're running in.

Tips for Navigating the Startup Journey
Once you start selling off your assets, the """returns""" are worse, but equally so no matter what you invested in. It's better to leave that math out of the situation and look at the returns of the actual assets by themselves. Which includes reinvesting.

If you really want to factor in the sell-off, then every dollar of dividend means one less dollar of sold stock. If dividends go higher than withdrawals for a year, then you need to buy more stock to compensate. So the math comes out the same. What you don't do is ignore dividends, or let excess dividends pile up in cash form. Which the original paper apparently did.

I’m not a chemist/someone else can offer a more detailed explanation (just love the excuse to post that song), but with most of these kinds of things the energy and advanced equipment required to go in a theoretically plausible direction for a minuscule amount of yield is usually absurd. Including turning iron into gold. (I think it might theoretically be possible to do that at this point as well, but if it is possible I’m sure it’d be astronomically energy intensive and wasteful to manipulate matter to that degree)
There's probably a vague/inconsistent (possibly "AI") threat-score / heuristic. I've heard of extra security requirements being imposed for like 30 days or so when you haven't accessed for a long time (or on a new machine?) and it's just ironic how they currently put you in a catch-22

I have seen several variations that I found consistent with the metaphor of a switch.

Broadly, these could be divided in implementations that offered a loading state (switch goes transparent until persisted, overlaid spinner etc.) and implementations that flicked the switch back when the request failed and provided a very noticeable status update (hint, animation, growl).

My preference for systems that work with unreliable persistence is the former, albeit that is purely personal and not founded in a deeper rationale.

The LLVM code is fairly active for a retro arch. It just got accepted into mainline less than a couple years ago. I remember it because the m68k folk are pretty active about maintaining support for their arch in the Linux kernel, and for a while the lack of m68k support in LLVM (and therefore the lack of m68k support in Rust) was seen as a potential blocker for mainline Rust support in the kernel.

Your options weren't "either use PNG or some other format", but rather "either ignore IE and design things that can use 8-bit alpha thanks to PNG, or don't consider using possibilities PNG could give you when designing things at all".

So yes, you did use PNGs in some areas (illustrations etc.), but anything that would make you think "I'd have to use PNG to do that" meant "no-go because of IE". Which generally means avoiding PNGs.

When you add gamma issues on top of that, it was pretty rare to ever use PNGs for web designs if you cared about IE6.

There's a difference between thinking about something and seriously entertaining it. Like you, I think about a lot of things, but I'd take "considering" to mean more than that.

Coinbase has not been a bitcoin company since 2017, when they were on the losing side of a debate on whether the protocol should be modified to support commerce at the expense of decentralization.[0]

Since then they have gone all in on Ethereum and the 10,000 other tokens, encouraging users to try their luck on which one of them will blow up in price like bitcoin did. (Meanwhile they collect trading fees on the way up and/or down.) For them, bitcoin is a legacy product and a thing to say they have to get normies' feet in the door, so they can steer them into daytrading the other tokens.

As a result I am sadly not surprised that they were wholly useless for a person actually trying to buy and use bitcoin. For that I would highly suggest a bitcoin-focused company like Swan, River, Strike, or even CashApp.

I used to work for Amazon a few years ago. I'm uncertain whether it was 12 pounds or 12 kg, but when a *tote weights more than this, you are supposed to handle the tote with two people.

Your inner voice is essentially how you parent your inner child You. Imagine that 10 year old You was standing in front of adult you right now. Would you still use expletives etc? We ought to learn from 5th grade teachers on how to talk to kids - encouragement, “could” vs “should”, avoiding harsh criticism. Affirmations work because it’s giving deliberate encouragement/praise to our inner child selves. Saying things out out & hearing them is “special” to our brain. Deliberately using emotion (rather than saying it dryly & rote) is effective. Music can help.
