Question is, can I use my spare APU for this. On second thought, giving it more VRAM in BIOS only means using more RAM for it. So it would just be a RAM disk with extra steps.

> will not pay 10k for an iPhone or a million for a Tesla

Australia is a massive cobalt, copper and nickel miner [1]. They do it profitably without kids. The cost of transporting ore out of the DRC probably dwarfs any labor savings from using kids.

Child labor in sub-Saharan African mines is a solvable problem. But it’s not a question of paying more, but engaging in a regional development effort with tinges of nation building of the sort Western voters are fatigued with. (I see no interest in the problem from China.)

Why it’s so hard to catch your own typos (2014)
At LAN parties we used to share our SteamApps folders so that others could copy games across. Interestingly (perhaps due to Windows networking handling copy-many-small-files poorly?) it was often faster to make an uncompressed ZIP of the files, copy that over the network, and unzip it on the other side.

Great to see that the steam client now does all this transparently.

1. This is "only true" for almost all the apps
2. A much better alternative without that waste already exists in 3rd-party apps, so no new packaging format is needed to fix it

It's quite a paradox value. If CTOs or tech leads are competent enough they wouldn't bring this React mess into business in the first place. But if the CTO is incompetent, he won't think he has a need for getting rid of React. So the business of getting of React only has value to companies who want to admit "we made a mistake".
Privacy Shield was invalidated in 2020, which didn't make Google Analytics illegal but increased the burden of implementing it. If you aren't making use of more advanced features, you could be non-compliant. That site is, hilariously, also a product of a Google Analytics competitor.

The new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework replaces Privacy Shield and so for the moment out of the box Google Analytics is fine again. This is what I meant by my comment above. The US and the EU will find a way to make data sharing work, no matter how many agreements it takes.
It is happening folks, the enterprise architects are joining the party.

> The USSR had countries, some of which had 3166-1 codes, and some of which did not.

During the negotiations over the UN Charter, the Soviets claimed that the Union Republics which made up the USSR were sovereign states, with the right to secede, and hence should all be allowed to join the UN - along with the Soviet Union. The West refused - the claim of sovereignty was rather unbelievable (as if Stalin would really let anyone secede!), and it would have given the Soviet Union 16 (or more) votes in the General Assembly, which everyone else saw as unfair. Negotiations had reached an impasse, when a diplomatic compromise emerged - two of the Union Republics (Ukraine and Byelorussia) would become UN members, along with the Soviet Union as a whole; the others wouldn’t. Hence, the UN considered them to be “countries”, and since ISO 3166-1 gets its country list from the UN Statistical Division, it did too. It never made much sense from the perspective of reality, it was simply a historical diplomatic fudge.

> And ultimately why would the name country be that important?

I think it is important because (1) it is an exception to their general rule “countries/dependencies only, but not subdivisions thereof” which is defensible using the text of ISO 3166; (2) it is numerically a very limited exception-it doesn’t threaten to open the floodgates; (3) if someone claims “this is unfair bias in favour of the UK”, they can say “no, it is only because of the text of the standards, we are not engaging in any favouritism”; (4) in spite of all the above, there is a lot of political/popular pressure to give in to the demand, due to Scottish and Welsh nationalism; (5) no comparable political pressure exists for US state flags, because no US state has a mainstream nationalist movement

It's only a thing if you can define it, but there is no agreed upon definition of what collection of things comprise consciousness. We have all the pieces, and we know we have all the pieces (note: this doesn't mean we don't have a lot more to learn, both can be true). There is little controversy over how it all roughly works together. The only real controversy is semantics: what do we mean when we say "consciousness".

In programmerland, one might say something like "the abstraction you're using is counter-productive", for whatever reason, when looking at some junior hire's code. It's very much the same here: trying to understand consciousness is asking the wrong question. It's like asking "Why is there a God?": it's an unproductive question because it's a question that can't be answered. The abstraction in the question simply doesn't map 1:1 to abstractions in the world in which we live. If we want to understand our world, we'll maximize our odds of success if we focus on studying the abstractions of this world.

I wouldn't describe myself as a pessimist at all, and I'm not sure why you thought my comment was pessimistic...

> I have no way of gauging the overall quality of screws

For woodworking, GRK and SPAX screws are high quality, made in Taiwan and ship with a matching driver bit.

For machine screws/bolts, grade should be stamped on the bolt, https://www.aftfasteners.com/grades-of-bolts-bolt-grade-mark...

Monster Bolts in Florida sells small quantities of quality screws/bolts, with accurate metal-grade metadata and fair prices, https://monsterbolts.com

> Is there a way to identify the exact size of a driver that was meant to turn a particular screw?

Mini Thread Detective gauge can identify small electronics screws, https://www.amazon.com/Thread-Detective-Identifier-Mini-Metr...

PicQuic in Canada sells handles with an extensive range of 1/4" driver bits that also work in power tools, see eBay and http://picquic.ca/bits-and-accessories/

You should tell your clients that there are still compliant ways to integrate Google Analytics even assuming the new legal framework doesn't stick.

But the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework was signed in December, so the current GDPR rulings are a moot point since those were about Privacy Shield. Should take another few years to find out what the courts think of the latest agreement. Eventually one of them will work.
Geoff became the new CSS-Tricks editor after DO acquired the platform last year. [0] And by the looks of it, DO just let him go without any warning at all.

On first sight, the design looks nice. On second sight, it’s a slow SPA, showing placeholders for way too long. The usability around navigation has the typical buggy SPA feeling:

Go here https://topcat.sora.city/found
Tap an image, use the back button of the browser and you’re all the way back to the client-side no-cache loading of the profile.

Or again, tap an image, try to copy the description. It swipes to the next image or something (on mobile). Very weird usability.

Or tap one of the last images, close it with the close button and Safari will scroll all the way to the top again.

Imho, the SSR experience of most personal blogs is quite important if you want to compete with other platforms, because broken back buttons and obnoxius content loading is what you get from places like Medium or LinkedIn. A SPA is totally the wrong way to go here I think.

In short: it looks nice but feels shitty.
i do have some fond memories of the bbc micro - in the 80s i wrote an implementation of the kermit file transfer protocol for it in basic, but it was glacially slow. a bit later i rewrote it in 6502 assembler, and incorporated a vt100 terminal emulator. everything was much faster - the 6502 could be pretty quick once you understood its addressing modes, which were peculiar.

i was always crap at elite though.

My first office job was hourly, and paid overtime. For a short time, there was so much work we were allowed to do as much overtime as we liked. After a while we were told no overtime without permission, and then we were all changed (ostensibly) to exempt and salaried, but nobody said anything about us being "managers".

Now I am salaried, and am not allowed to put in overtime on my own initiative, but I am eligible for it if requested. The next salary grade up, union rules allow unpaid overtime.
Given Apple heavily taxes their App ecosystem, even for transactions which incur no direct cost to Apple, nobody can know how many opportunities that don’t occur to Apple to pursue - that would have, if they had to compete for those dollars with actual offerings of their own.

Not as strongly anti-competitive as not competing with a giant, but an angle on the App Store transaction tax that had not occurred to me before.

My response is that not everything is South East Asian prices, and even in Cambodia you can pay a lot for food if you're eating at the wrong places and eating more expensive stuff. Mexican food is expensive here and not particularly good for instance. (My Cambodian friends do make some really good home made Mexican food from scratch sometimes though)

Honestly I like cheese and potatoes and egg and all, I just don't think I could consume that much of those in a day. I rarely eat eggs or dairy or bread just because they're not so popular over in Asia. I am known for eating much more than Cambodians though.

Typically I skip breakfast, then for lunch I make a rice cooker full of rice and I go to the Asian "fast food" place and buy 2 bags of ready made food (either ginger chicken, stir fried eggplant, green beans and tofu, beef intestine curry with morning glories, palm sugar pork fat soup, or bitter gourd ground pork soup) and we eat that on our rice.

Typically those two bags of food cost us $1.50 and feeds 4 people, the cost of the rice being so negligible I don't count it. We usually get 2 meals a day like that which comes out to $3 or $4 a day for 4 people and we eat to our heart's content.

In-between meals I'll eat bananas or papayas that grow in our yard. Often I'll eat a lot of those at a time so that they don't spoil. I also make a lot of oatmeal chocolate coconut peanut butter no-bake cookies. (These are a bit more expensive treat and maybe cost $0.15 a piece in materials)

When we eat at the regular places in Cambodia it's usually $2.50 a meal per person, so we try to avoid that.

Coming back to the United States, most regular restaurants seem to cost at least $12 a person and it's a bit weird for me since I prefer eating cheap home-made meals and don't really get the appeal of restaurants.

Static typing is orthogonal to this issue though. This is more about strong typing. Even a statically typed language could coerce values, e.g. the empty string, to a Boolean false at runtime. I agree that that’s undesirable though. Static and strong typing is the driest, least flexible, but also easiest to get correct way.

For who needs a summary of what is happening in the EU [1]

1. Since 2020, it's illegal to send personal data to the US because of the invalidation of the Privacy Shield [2]

2. Google said it was okay in the EU to use anonymized IP addresses

3. The Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) [3] ruled differently and waived most of the arguments raised by Google. The DSB ruled that even anonymized IP addresses are personal data.

4. The Data Protection Authority of The Netherlands followed by implying that the use of Google Analytics might be banned in the future [4]

5. In February 2022 The Data Protection Authority of France (CNIL) followed [5]

6. In June 2022 the Data Protection Authority of Italy (Garante) followed [6]

7. September 2022, Denmark – after already banning Google Workspace for municipalities [7] – considers Google Analytics unlawful as well [8]

8. Now, February 2023, Finland rules against the use of Google Analytics [9]

This is a sound decision, but – as others pointed out – not a new one. It's a confirmation of what has been ruled in July 2020, but now it seems to have more impact when it happens per country.

PS: I'm the founder of Simple Analytics [10] - the privacy-first analytics tool that, unlike other privacy tools, does not use any identifiers.

I've been to a lot of art museums when travelling. If you judged the world by the thousands of paintings in those museums, you could assume that people of color simply didn't exist back then, and that poor people showed up at some point during the 17th century.

I could understand why people might want art to portray a broader world that includes them in it, especially when introducing their children to that world.

It must be wild to see the world portrayed as if you didn't exist, and I think it's cool to adapt beloved classics with that in mind. Comic books have tried every thinkable variation of a character, from a Soviet Superman to a black Spiderman. It did not diminish the originals, but offered new versions with new perspectives.

This is something I'm okay with, so long as the originals don't get labeled as problematic or something.

There was some recent discussion about KDF for password managers. Bitwarden increased rounds from 100k to 600k for new accounts. But keep in mind, in order to get the encrypted store you either need to authenticate online or steal it from a device that previously authenticated. An attacker needs to bruteforce the master password quickly as the stored password are useless if they are changed. There's layers of security and a limited window of opportunity.

Here, the encrypted document is encouraged to be hosted publicly. There isn't any authentication before the encrypted document is downloaded. If the document remains sensitive long term, then we need to protect it from attack using computers that will exist >10 years from now.

Since this tool doesn't have layered security, and the contents likely remain sensitive long term the single security layer should be stronger.

We can hand wave this and say that the user should pick a strong password or only store minimally sensitive documents but most won't and there's nothing here to inform or encourage them to do so. (Even single character passwords are allowed...)

A few years ago, I was like, Spring yeah, wow, complex is better but then Guice looked even better with less boilerplate. They just moved things from Java to XML and then back. That sounded great.

(On an aside, We seem to live in the YAML era of microservices. I'd like to say another complexity wave of this sort will likely happen 15 years from now.)

Now I'm like, this wiring is all unnecessary. You're writing more process code than configuration code and it doesn't improve quality of life or extensibility.

It gives more work to most developers and serves as process fuel to the buzzword driven world we live in.
