No, not in Germany. I still believe revolving credit cards aren't something targeted at people who'll miss paying their balance in full in most of continental Europe, and issuers can't really base their profitability on that alone.

Ironically enough that's why a company like Klarna became so big over here, the whole "buy now pay later" concept is completely new to most low-income customers.
and exactly why should anyone be allowed to target their links to a specific browser instead of letting me use the browser of my choice?
> It's not uncommon for a tower controller to allow a plane to takeoff while another is approaching the runway.

Only in the US is it permitted for the controller to clear an aircraft to land while another is using the runway. The rest of of the world does not allow "anticipated clearance".

(Apart from a "land after" clearance where the landing aircraft must accept responsibility for separation.)

Edited to add: how it works everywhere else in the world: the controller is not permitted to clear an aircraft to land unless and until the previous one is confirmed clear. That's why the term is "cleared".
It's one of the major languages, just not so much in the OSS community because of the culture of Microsoft hate. Which made sense back then - Microsoft (and Apple) both earned that for what they did to Amiga. However Oracle are currently much worse but you never hear people hating on Java for that (they hate on Java because change is glacial, which is a symptom of Oracle).
Excuse me, your conclusion doesn't seem to follow from your premises. I mean, "Please OS vendor I want something simple. That hidden `sideload` option is complicated, please lock down my machine."

Like, seriously? No one's that stupid. Sure most people want a decent, clear default option, but no one want that to be the only option. At least not for themselves. Because for some reason I see many people arguing that other folks are too stupid for options and should be locked down instead. For their own… safety? convenience? And that just reeks of authoritarianism.
That’s done by DNS. The DNS server examines your DNS query and sends you back an IP address answer that’s “close” to the requesting IP address.

For example, if you are in country X, then even though there are dozens or hundreds of POP addresses for the name you requested, you’ll be answered with one for country X.
Not particularly. From 2008 to 2018, their revenue grew more than 400%, and much of that was due to executives doing a better job selling the search deal. Then getting more money when you become CEO seems normal.

If you took a raw script and fed it to an AI, sure, you will get rubbish and I don't see that changing any time soon. However, if someone carefully choreographed the performance like a puppeteer... I think someone will still be needed to add that spark of life to performances, but I don't see that being an 'actor', chosen as much for their physical attributes and stage presence as their ability to breath life into a script. Script writers, directors, cinematographers, choreographers, and yes, perhaps even actors, keep tweaking the AI performance with details until they get it right. You already see this with animations, except with existing technology they still need voice actors and often find motion capture less cumbersome than manually animating characters.
i think mobile users are unaware how good firefox+ublock origin is. i constantly get bombarded by disgusting adds while browsing news portals, cooking recipes, etc. imagine reading about some great cooking ideas and midway through you see an advertisement for "revolutionary medication for foot fungus" with before and after pictures to show. and yes this happens even in "private" tabs. if anything mozilla should give financial backing to extensions such as ublock origin

EDIT: should say "android users". iphones are beyond help even with firefox
Do you feel this is more true than with Google? Maybe the difference is that we care less, because Google cared enough to get the feature to work correctly? ;P
I suggest you take your objections up with the authors of, say,

A Four-Dimensional Space-Time Automatic Obstacle Avoidance Trajectory Planning Method for Multi-UAV Cooperative Formation Flight

or any number of other similar papers.

Many prefer to think of an objects path as a trajectory in space-time (four dmensions) and for two ojects to "collide" their paths must coincide within that 4-D space within an Epsilon for some value of WTF.

Other common examples of working in N dimensional spaces for values of N bigger than someones mother include: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space
"Deterministic" only insofar as it's repeatable, but their behaviour is not predictable. If the behaviour is not predictable, how can it be validated as being correct?
Not to mention that Azure is specifically targeting the health industry with offerings like confidential compute.
This I mostly agree with. AI will only assist in refining the quality of existing ideas.
Do you imply better integrating browser with the OS is a trillion $ level project?
It's by far the best distro, even for production loads. I know, controversial opinion, but ubuntu has never been better (even if I dislike snaps). And almost everything is now built to run on Ubuntu first. Even RHEL would require tinkering for tons of software I need in dev/prod.
Based on what? What's the most popular/live alternative?

Runescape was incredible for the time, I played even before there was a paid membership, starting around 2000. There were so many great features like cooking being useful for people heading to mine rare ores in the wilderness so you'd have cooks naturally lined up on the border trying to sell stuff.

The wilderness PvP worked with a level gap system, so when we went out as a group it was good to bring some mid-level characters to be able to suddenly attack lower-level players in the early wilderness who wouldn't expect it. That really felt like D&D - having someone prepare meals beforehand, etc.

It's a shame most games have given up on that systemic, open-world player driven style of game. Back then with Ultima VII, Baldur's Gate, Runescape, Daggerfall, Ultima Underworld, etc. it really felt like in 20 years we'd be playing games like Daggerfall persistently with thousands of players online.

And instead it's just devolved into Skinner boxes and microtransactions.

I found that substituting carbs for fats helps satiation, but it seems that that is not the full story.

I experimented with food consumption rate, and the slower I eat the easier it is to feel satiated provided a balanced meal.

Furthermore, i found that meals consisting of different foods at smaller portions and not “a single dish” improve satiation as well.
To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't have tests, but if you change your pom.xml and the code starts blowing up at runtime, your code is still brittle.

Code that isn't brittle wouldn't behave like that.

Tests allows you to catch it early, but with the platonic form of non-brittle code, you wouldn't need to run any other tests than the test that tests the module you just changed.
I personally think stability and having some bureaucrat monitoring hours is good. I don't want my air traffic controllers popping pills and pulling double shifts, or showing up to work drunk because they're worried about getting fired for calling in sick. People with dangerous jobs need to be kept safe from themselves
As they should. Great stuff - even though I will keep using Safari, I love seeing more options
Two more to add to the list. Brand new passenger aircraft on final approach to landing and the control tower tells the pilot they've forgotten to lower the landing gears. Worse case outcome, clear good weather condition, passenger aircraft approaches landing and gets it wrong, crash and burn, passengers survive on the ground and some get runover by the fire trucks arriving on scene.
The latest version of the Cheogram app (Android) has a neat implementation (demo video: https://kumi.tube/w/1LQQp5Uia4u8Pdojxen1y8 ).

At the XMPP summit in Brussels last week we had several developers across different projects converge on an approach based on this, so I'd expect to start seeing even more clients supporting threads in the near future.
Yes, depends on the product that is being built and the traffic it is going to server. In case it's not a high traffic website, we can definitely bypass Cloud. In my stint at a startup, we were directly serving the content via Nginx instead of CDN. Our scope was limited to only country and the use case was also simple, just to display a transaction page with few images to the customers.
There is still a lot of work for the OS to do to enable those third-party tools. Stuff like this:

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

It may well be that Apple is special, but in general, large software companies are motivated to care about accessibility primarily by the prospect of lucrative government contracts, for which there are usually mandated (by law) accessibility requirements. The problem for smaller companies is that accessibility doesn't scale down well - you need a lot of upfront investment (education, processes, testing etc) to get anywhere at all at first, but then all that remains useful for many more projects to come.
Microsoft thinks AI can beat Google at search – CEO Satya Nadella explains why
> C is so primitive. It has a poor type system, it has no sum types (enums, in rust), no closures, no type inference, no bound checking even though it was already known to be beneficial,

computational speed mattered.

compilers needed to be fast.

bounds checking is not really in the ballpark of "advancements in CS".

C could easily become a better language and evolve, the problem is it needs to maintain the billions of lines already written valid.

OTOH there were better languages already when C came out, C won in large part because it was simpler, smaller and a better ASM than ASM.

Rust is a safer language, the problem is once we rewrote everything in Rust, Rust will be as legacy as C and new languages with better features enabled by the orders of magnitude faster chips will be available.

It's like when young people blame the older people, forgetting that they will be old too one day and that in most part life is keeping going on evolving things at a very slow pace, because inertia is the strongest force in societies.
Congrats on launching! Just curious, how does Enrolla compare to Firebase Remote Config?
If for a given set of inputs there is a deterministic output, then the overall behaviour to a series of inputs is just as deterministic and predictable.

I'm not sure what you mean with "is not predictable" when you also admit that it's repeatable.

Do NPEs exist in work-a-day code?

I remember working on a codebase where everything had null check pyramids like

if (foo != null) {
if (foo.getBar() != null) {
Bar bar = foo.getBar();
if (bar.getBaz() != null) {
for (Quux q : bar.getBaz()) {
if (q.getFoobar() != null) { ... }
}
}
}

but that was a long time a go in a code base that operated by passing humongous mega-objects with hundreds of fields (running into the limit of how many parameters could be in the constructor was a constant headache), it solved a lot of its problems by printing a stacktrace and shrugging, and objects would be half-constructed and methods would return null in all sorts of scenarios.

In comparison, the entire codebase for marginalia search has about 65 nullchecks in total. A decent chunk of them are in dealing with older APIs that sometimes idiomatically use nulls to communicate things. java.util.Map, BufferedReader and the Servlet api in particular, the rest in dealing with the inherently noisy nature of crawl data. So while there are a few examples where there are nulls in the data, but they are almost always contained to the module that produced them and don't cross interface boundaries. It's very far removed from some pinnacle of code quality, but just gets a few engineering principles right that that other code base didn't.

It's a research paper on something called a preprint platform. It's a place almost anything fitting can be put for free - to share work before it goes through the arduous process of getting it published (side rant about publishing not meaning publishing goes here). Cornell run/host arxiv, but aren't doing heavy moderation of content (journals should check much more, arxiv will be checking more for spam/non researchy stuff).

It's a bit of work between three authors, all affiliated with Microsoft and one who is also affiliated with the University of California San Diego.
I’ve driven an airport fire appliance and that doesn’t surprise me in the slightest - I could not see a damned thing for 20 meters in front of me on the ground, as the window is a thick glass slit mounted above eye level, as it’s designed to be driven into and withstand a jet fuel fire - you have to stand and drive to see where you’re going - and that was in clear broad daylight.
Which minigame? I made a bot for mage training arena for all rooms, but the most interesting one was the enchanting chamber: there were dragonstones with a very high, but constant respawn rate that were highly contested. My script jumped through different servers and after finding and collecting one, it remembers the time when it spawns on that particular server. It was very satisfying to watch it run there just few seconds before they spawned, leaving other players no chance.
I guess one could have ‘(T | None) | None’, which can automatically be flattened to ‘T | None’, couldn’t it?

Also, the Map::get method that can return null is the problem here (even though your example is great and thanks for that, I didn’t think of it), something like ‘Option<Player?>’ should allow to differentiate between those cases.

But I do remember reading that a bottom type does make typing rules harder (e.g. scala 3’s explicit nulls feature which is basically “T is non-nullable, write it as T | Null” is not sound)
> Of course, good managers should generate a lot more value than a janitor or a cashier

If I can be excused to ramble a bit...

I think the job is optimization? If so the hypothetical perfect manager would get it right really fast and have nothing to do but wait for the next dumpster fire that might never happen or some micro optimization that isn't worth much.

Measuring performance (at least in real time) seems hard if not impossible?

With a cashier it is easy, if they handle 100 products per minute, 6000 per hour, they get 12 per hour or 0.2 cents per product handled, on the average product it is a perceptional difference of zero. I, as the customer buying 100 products, don't care if I pay 20 cents or 2 euro.

I've had a hundred such jobs, did the math on many, it was spectacularly hilarious. Best one was 5 factory workers making half a million boxes of cookies in a 5 hour shift for 35 euro/day. They could easily pay 1000 euro/day, the customer wouldn't even notice it.

In stead it is really hard for them now, they cant find employees. They are far behind on schedule. Existing employees are made to work even harder.

Being unable to afford to pay more is actually not how it works. You add up what it costs to deliver a service or a product and then you conclude if its a viable business model.

It is not that the rent is to dmn high, parts or ingredients are to expensive, employees are unwilling to work for peanuts etc. There is no limit on how much a janitor costs. The market sets it, employees and employers are just dragged along - kicking and screaming if need be.

If we continue the story and say the employees want to much money we might end up back at their rent being to dmn high.

But surely no one would continue that story to the point where you cant find employees because the cookies got 1 cent more expensive?

I get 2 letters every year, one says my rent goes up by 5%, the other says my salary goes up by 1%. Both talk similarly about inflation. It's quite comical.
The Undying Holiday-Suicide Myth
Reddit falls in that category as well unless you use old.Reddit.com
This isn't accurate: as the name suggests, Silicon Valley happened because hardware took off...

...which happened because, after WW2, the federal government was very interested in establishing a decisive lead in computing and similar technologies [1] [2] [3]. The US military was a key early customer of Silicon Valley, and industry research labs like Xerox PARC received heavy support from publicly funded grants. Projects like ARPANET [4] paved the way for the Internet as we know it now.

To this day, programs like the Silicon Valley Innovation Program [5] continue to subsidise tech firms. This is a feature, not a bug: transitioning new technologies from early basic research to proof-of-concept to commercial viability takes time, more time than many companies and VC firms are willing to wait. ARPA, NSF, etc. exist largely to support this transition, which is why they deploy funding in both industry and academic settings.

Not sure if anyone's still reading this and experiencing the same issues as I am, but I'll put my solution down. NOt sure how stable it is, or whatever, since I just enabled it, but going to edge://flags and enabling Vulkan eliminated this hiccup I would get with Edge when moving the window between monitors.

The cordyceps-like elegance of using Googles core browser tech and foundational LLM research to try and flip the tables on them feels to me quintessentially Microsoft going back to it's roots behaviour.
You missed ChromeOS which is the second worst after iOS. Then Windows, where you can set the default but MS keep trying to push edge in your face, then MacOS which only really pushes Safari on first install.
I’m expecting the marketing material to not have mistakes in it, especially when the gist of the article surrounding it is “we’re taking it slow because we want to ensure it doesn’t spit bullshit”
Out of curiosity I checked 2010, Gilbert Held, A Practical Guide to Content Delivery Networks, 2nd ed., CRC Press. However it offers more of a historical overview: it presents general information on things like TCP/IP and the Cache-Control header, but also the Akamai High Definition network and how it uses Flash. Things get old so fast in this area. Probably also outdated, but interesting nonetheless, is 2015, Abhishek Verma et al., Large-scale cluster management at Google with Borg [2] (check chapter 7. Related work for more references). John Wilkes seems to be involved in multiple articles showing some of the Google internals such as 2020, Borg: the Next Generation [3].

Hiya!

Thank you very much for your feedback and questions.

I think it is clear by now that we really have something to do to better deliver our message and proposition value.

To give you a reply : We are the backend behind your HTML forms (and more generally, any form, since we support GET & POST requests). Once your data is submitted to our servers, we'll just forward it to Google Sheets, and potentially make some extra treatments (like : insert headings in the sheets, reorder fields based on headings, append a timestamp to every submission, etc.).

To elaborate : We do not provide forms, and there is absolutely no link between what we do and Google Forms (except maybe, forward data to Google Sheets ? haha). The advantage over Google Forms is that you can use any form of your liking, and not be constrained by Google Forms design and / or restrictions if any.

Reading your recommendations, and having talked with other wise people, we'll definitely reword our landing page, and make a video to show how everything works in (hopefully) 30 seconds or so.

Thank you so much once again, and your pun was brilliant.
On PC there are extensions to automatically rewrite Reddit.com to old.Reddit.com if you didn’t know, saves a lot of time and aggravation.
It's similar with the BMA in the UK, but they've been less successful.

It's worked out well for the doctors in the USA though so you can't blame them.

Is it really a feature to not be allowed to use non-webkit Chrome on my iPhone, even if it might unlock superior features? Is it a feature that Google Fi can't work optimally on iPhone thanks to their anti-competitive restrictions? Is it a feature that I have to use Siri, which is way inferior to Google Assistant, when communicating in CarPlay?

Is the planned obsolescence a feature too? My 12 year old Mac laptop is dead because MacOS does not allow me to upgrade past a certain version, and the cryptography primitives do not update past that so no recent browsers support the platform. My only recourse is linux. In the future this will not be possible either because normal Linux doesn't support the new hardware, unless Asahi Linux really manages to take off.

I choose iOS because the hardware is good and _some_ of the software is good. I can't stand their business practices, and they don't actually get a lot of things right. They're just doing what MSFT wanted to do with their OS & software, except that they've monopolized the hardware too and somehow that's what protects them from antitrust.
