Looks like USB support for syncing was introduced in 2003, and for charging in 2004.

Mine was a 4th generation monochrome - in other words, 2004ish. Had to have been USB. I don't think there were any Firewire Macs before 1999, and I don't think I ever got a Mac after that point, or that ran OS X.
I don’t think there’s such a lag to discover the negative effects. A couple of years perhaps, but not decades.

What you are pointing at is the time when these negative effects can’t be rejected by their respective industries. Teflon and cigarettes had the scientific experiments done pretty early, and from there it was the different companies fighting the results to affect public perception.

New products spreading successfully in our society always have a set of companies getting big and powerful, with a critical interest in killing any attempt to paint their products as nefarious or needing caution. Of course it will take decades to get them to acknowledge they’re screwing the whole population.

PS: of course any new technology is always a trade-off, and the risks can be worth the upsides. For Teflon, even knowing the issues, many people will still chose to use non-stick for sheer convenience. BTW it’s not just “high” temperatures (“high” meaning heating your pan too much for 2~5s from memory), you’ll get contamination on physical damage and wearing off of the coating as well.

Lawyer Reacts: Web Scraping Data? Watch This First
Attorney William Whitman Discuses a framework Legality of scraping data. Worth a Watch.
I don't care much for this post, but I think it is fair to say that PWA support wasn't something Apple cared about.

They shipped a lot of features in Safari over the years, including many that that landed before Chrome and Firefox's implementations, and in general, Safari has remained the fastest, most power-efficient browser on macOS. But PWA-specific features weren't high on the list. Users didn't want them; developers wanted them, and Apple has rarely prioritized what Developers want over what their Users want – with both being second to what Apple wants.
These are all industry-standard tools that you could also run outside k8s in docker-compose, I fail to see anything bespoke here.

If your team cant recognize some of the most common proxy, s3 storage, database, operating system, cron job, backups, load balancing tools from a few feet away or manage a server then you have a problem with vetting candidates.
Because none of those are as maintainable for engineers as text that can be checked into source control and even in the project itself.
Yeah, to me they look like the output that I get when I'm writing with Go templates (non-minified afterwards).

eg:

<html>
{{ if eq .FOO "bar" }}
<some tags here>
{{ end }}

<other stuff>

{{ if eq .BAZ "bim" }}
<some tags here>
{{ end }}
</html>

That ends up generating blank lines all over the place, very much like the output they have. ;)

A colleague with a recent Land Rover Discovery Sport has screens on the buttons/dials. Little mini screens for things like an AC knob.

It’s a Land Rover, so obviously those screen crash/bug out then he gets no HVAC.

He hates that car. It’s beautiful, luxurious and a pleasure to drive. But it’s been in the shop >50% of his lease.

I think the idea is that the train was pre-existing, and it has some kind of perpetual motion engine which keeps it going and which the occupants can siphon off heat for warmth and electricity.
You have to list the specific artist(s) on the copyright. Is someone really interested in lying in Federal paperwork for minimal return? Risk/reward ratio on the specific individual(s) who claim to be the artist seems to not be worth it. This isn't a case of limited liability protection hiding behind the 'personhood' of a company but an individual that has to personally claim to be the artist. A company can't claim to be the artist for purpose of copyright, but instead get's the artist rights assigned to them later.

In my opinion, given that the C-ABI is pretty much the only cross language interface for transferring in memory data between components written in different languages, it is a pretty big blind spot not include into a new language a C-safe way of transferring memory.

Yes, you can open a socket or file and transfer your data that way, so someone had to then implement for the language the memory data protection mechanisms. Just expose them!
The roots music world is marking what would have been guitar hero Doc Watson’s 100th birthday this year with a tribute album filled with loving renditions of some of his best known songs. Doc Watson At 100, coming April 28 on FLi Records/Budde Music, offers 15 tracks celebrating Watson’s legacy from singer-songwriters such as Dolly Parton, Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, and Valerie June as well as from instrumental masters Jerry Douglas, Bill Frisell, Yasmin Williams, and Chris Eldridge. Most of the songs are standards of traditional music that Watson helped bring into a wider spotlight with his playing and singing.

I think it depends on your experience and what you have gone through, in my case how many of the decisions I've made that looked excellent to me back then, turned out to be okish at most.
As a former student that competed in both National and State TSA events from 2006 to 2012 (and won multiple trophies across events including the "webmaster" competition) I'm not really surprised by this outcome. That doesn't mean that its the right outcome but just a result of how these competitions are run.

The judges are all volunteers that may or may not have a background in the actual event they are there to grade. So you get someone that just shows up, reads the rules for the event and then judges accordingly to those exact rules. Which in this case since the website is hosted by Github it automatically gets disqualified for not meeting the rules of the event. This is a pretty easy thing to fix which is either A) Just have a custom domain that hides the github hostname B) host it somewhere else. The students here seem to have taken the B approach and have it up on netlify now.

I certainly empathize with the students here putting hard work into a project only to get disqualified on a technicality, it is a hard lesson to learn and one around maximizing your results within the rules as long as you follow all the rules. Hopefully they will be successful in getting the rules updated moving forward to be more clear about the default github page templates vs just raw HTML hosting.
Github and the projects it inspired, like Gitlab and Bitbucket, are what made Git accessible to the huge audience of developers it has today.

The way Github presents repos organized by organisation, allowing everyone to fork and host their version of the code, that's what made git popular.

Without Github, I don't think Git would ever have been adopted by mainstream dev audiences and would just be some arcane tech used by kernel devs.
I lived 9 years in Germany, now in Poland. For me the fact that in Poland a programmer earns significantly more than a Financial Controller was an initial shock a few years ago. But now I understand the problem is with Germany’s stubborn attitude towards everything IT, IT is just considered easy and not “real engineering” and a thereby a cost to reduce. Financial Controllers pushing numbers in Excel files are adding a lot more value, apparently in ways I still don’t fully understand. Honestly, with those salaries and that culture Mercedes is probably not getting the best talent out there.
You’re spending $500/year more on breakfast. That’s nothing to sneeze at, especially for people on tight budgets
My vague impression is that BDDs are good for the kinds of problems Knuth is interested in: exact answers, exhaustive enumeration, naive backtracking would be too slow, etc. So things like "there are exactly 13,267,364,410,532 undirected closed knight's tours on an 8x8 board". For those, BDDs can be much more efficient than writing out a giant truth table (so they're an amazing trick that can make certain things feasible to program that wouldn't otherwise be, and you can see why he likes them), but they hit their limits: the catch is that they are useful precisely when your Boolean function of interest has a small BDD, and not all functions will.

In some sense, optimization algorithms (for traveling salesman, integer linear programming…) are all about avoiding exhaustive enumeration with lots of tricks like branch-and-bound etc, so BDDs are not very useful there (AFAIK). The examples mentioned on Wikipedia (circuits, formal verification) are ones where exhaustive enumeration is desired and you really want to examine every case, which is not true for the bulk of SAT solver applications / other NP-complete optimization problems.
I just realized that there are a lot of kids out there with all the balls necessary to hold their parent's keys hostage.

Even if you would never be tricked into giving up or losing your key, there are other people in your life who can do it either for themselves or be tricked or compelled into doing it for someone else while you're asleep or in the shower or any of 1000 opportunities every day. Would you immediately detect a good fake substitution? When would be the next important login that needed it?
I feel the same way.

Mermaid removes most of personal touches and/or design choices. Which makes all diagrams a lot more uniform (which is most of the time a good thing in my book).
Agree, but you'll get downvoted here for saying it. But then you'd get a nice collection of downvotes here previously just for pointing out that this was the legal outcome that was coming as if copyright law either didn't exist and wasn't flushed out before AI or somehow didn't ally. It's like all the 'Politicians and judges don't understand der interwebs' people then saying 'Section 230 (created by politicians and upheld by judges) is vitally important to der interwebs and must be protect from politicians and judges'.
> You heard it here first folks, GitHub IS NOT the industry standard for code collaboration and version control, an expected tool for anyone entering the industry and a priceless skill for any aspiring developer

Indeed, it's not. It's a popular online hosting service for repositories for said tool, said tool being `git`, which by the way is fully functional for version control without a remote repository.

GitHub uses Jekyll as a template engine for Github Pages, and it was even mentioned in the rules, so technically they are in the right.

> There is a lot (a lot) of history here that I think would help you test your assumptions on this.

A 2017 survey found only 32% of the US population wears a watch daily, so for a large fraction wearing a glucose monitor in the form of a watch would also constitute a change, and correlate with diabetes patients. Under the lip or monitoring the inside of the cheeks, etc may be even less conspicuous than wearing a watch. Perhaps you might wish to test your assumptions too, and again, neither me nor you should be the arbiters in this matter: the patients ought to be the ultimate arbiters.

https://www.jckonline.com/editorial-article/most-consumers-d...

I don't understand why a person would contort themselves into less defensible or self-contradictory stances. It would seem engineers or others involved in the field would welcome the suggestion that perhaps there is a more tractable way, that might simultaneously be more acceptable by the patients themselves.

Observe I don't accuse you of causing the miscommunication. Everyone is prone to following the herd, including me.

While it isn't proven the patients would prefer a miniaturized device under the lips (or somehow reversibly attached to a teeth in a way that it doesn't interfere with eating, kissing, etc..) let us suppose for a moment that it actually turned out to be the case, after a survey or after actual trials.

In this case it's not the fault of the average employee or engineer in the field that they were designing thick-skin CGM devices before the survey or trials were done.

The real question in that case is: who was or wasn't aware before the survey that the red mucous membranes were easier? If not why not? It's obvious these tissues are redder due to better visibility of blood. Those that were aware before the eventual survey: did they yes or no tell their superiors? why not? if they did, they are absolved, but the line of questioning now transfers to the superior. Why didn't they order a survey asking for patients concerns about the idea, and if they would consider switching to such a product if properly executed? Why didn't they consult the patients?

Those “color vision correcting” glasses (e.g. EnChroma) use an optical technology called notch filtering:

“EnChroma glasses are spectral notch filters that remove light from two regions of the visible spectrum: from the region near 480 to 490 nm (in the blue–green part of the spectrum) and from the region near 580 to 590 nm (in the orange–yellow part of the spectrum).” https://www.practiceupdate.com/content/the-effects-of-enchro...

This article states the conclusion of the research is the problematic light has “a peak around 477nm, with the 50% sensitivity level from 438-493nm”, and from looking at the graph it seems 420-500nm covers it down to 20% sensitivity.

It seems like a set of glasses with a spectral notch filter blocking out that chunk of the wavelength spectrum could do an end-run around all these issues. Put them on when the sun goes down and it doesn’t matter if your LEDs are leaking blue light, your dimmers don’t go low enough, or you can’t stop yourself going on your phone in bed. From other comments here it seems “light from above” has a particular importance for physiological reasons, so the glasses should incorporate a shroud from the top of the frame to your eyebrows to block out all light from above as well.

I’m no expert on optics but it seems spectral filters aren’t hard to buy. Something with a center wavelength of 475nm and a full-width half-max between 60nm and 100nm should do the trick.
The apparent propellers on it are interesting. I was under the impression the claim was an unpowered balloon just steered using vertical motion to get in the right air currents.

The Drive has a link to a similar balloon spotted over Japan several years ago but without the large solar array, presumably to help power the motors? Or just to provide longer term power for a longer flight.

The beauty of UNIX to me is the interoperability of the text stream

What interoperability? Look at the man page for any simple Unix utility (such as `ls`), and count up how many of the listed command line flags are there only to structure the text stream for some other program. "Plain text" is just as interoperable as plain binary. "Just use plain text" is the Original Sin of Unix.

The Unix Philosophy, as stated by Peter Salus [1] is

1. Write programs that do one thing and do it well

2. Write programs that work together

3. Write programs to handle text streams because text is a universal interface.

The problem is that, in practice, you can only pick two of those. If you want to write programs that work together, and do so using plain text, then, in addition to doing its ostensible task, each program is going to have to provide a facility to format its text for other programs, and have a parser to read the input that other programs provide, contradicting the dictum to "do one thing and do it well".

If you want programs that do one thing and do it well, and programs that work together, then you have to abandon "plain text", and enforce some kind of common data format that programs are required to read and output. It might be JSON. Or it might be some kind of binary format (like what PowerShell uses). But there has to be some kind of structure that allows programs to interchange data without each program having to deal with the M x N problem of having to deal with every other program's idiosyncratic "plain text" output format.

I am saying this as a now married man with a kid. Don't rush it ( unless you really, really want to ). Enjoy yourself. It is the best time of your life and we just can't tell when we are in it for some reason. Things will happen on their own. No reason to force it.

From a judge's perspective, the impact on the legal system must surely be prominent, if only subconsciously. "Just a bunch of lawyers" is their entire social class.

> you may prompt this browser to display every website in dark-mode (even those that don't support the option)

I already do that, no AI needed. Kiwi browser on Android has it built in and for desktop there's the Dark Mode Everywhere extension. Been using these for years, they're very good.

> remove news that is too negative

That would be cool, but I don't think AI would be needed for that either. Didn't we have tools that can detect the tone of a piece of text already? AI might be better at this, though.

I'd probably use it to filter out "breathlessly over optimistic articles about the latest cool thing by people that don't understand that thing". Like this one.

> Browse your bank history in the style of Spotify

So this person wants to give an AI access to their bank account? Seems like a bad idea.

However style transfer on websites that don't contain important financial or legal documents would be cool, might be possible soon, and would be a good fit for AI, so I'll give the author partial credits there.

A truly weird decision, perverse-outcome sounding, if you don't explain it. Maybe the burden of holding state for TLS turned out to be too much for their capital investment, and they decided that there was no transitive risk in being insecure HTTP protocol, for a public information service.

Or maybe something else?

An explanation might help. I am sure future 'scrape the web and report on HTTP/HTTPS' bots are going to flag this as insecure.
Potentially. We currently use Jenkins build workers and GCP's Artifact Registry as a docker build cache, which works... ok.
As I mentioned on a comment before - read The Quantum Thief, where Great Common Task is a massive plot device.
No. Networth is your current value, not future.

Except Facebook has since been observed as having deleterious effects on mental health even before it was available to the public, and you'd be hard pressed to describe the Facebook of that period as a malicious company hijacking our emotions for profit. Nor is it clear that they reasonably could have known the effects it was having for quite some years (to be clear, they most certainly qualify as malicious now)
Adding a "login by google" button costs a few hours of developer time. I've done it myself, it isn't a whole lot of work.

On the other hand, I'm dealing right now with two services (NetSuite and Certify). Both "support" SAML, but they offer no direction on how to set it up or any sort of support for the setup. The documentation that is out there, is out of date and/or incorrect. Even though they offer these as paid additions, they don't really support them.

Anyway, that's where I'm coming from. I'm not trying to get into some deeper meaning debate here.
I’ve spent protracted periods of time with pretty consistent lighting all day and never had trouble sleeping. LEDs seem to have no effect on me, and I’ve slept till noon outside with bright Caribbean sun shining on my face. I know a lot of people like that.

My theory is that being obsessed with sleeping makes it hard to come by. Good luck applying that though.
