Well said, writing makes the difference. Quite a few great movies have an extremely simple setting. Even if we establish that writers can't write anymore, let's turn to books not yet televised?

One phenomenon of shitty writing and dialogue is that increasingly I hate the main character. Smug, cringe, sassy, sarcastic, lecturing. I'm not rooting for them, I hope the bad guys win.
I get the proverb but you have to admit that it's kind of a big deal that a tree-shaker bundler optimizer has a pretty big glaring known broken issue with it where it doesn't bundle.

The bus gets fixed eventually. This doesn't (unless somebody fixes it).

> Perhaps I want what someone else considers "trash" or "shock content."

Possibly, but is that what you're getting? Or is the platform trying to maximise for engagement over 'content you might be interested in'?

We kind of know algorithmic feeds prioritised content that generates likes and comments - that's not necessarily or 'valuable' (for whoever's definition) content but it tends to promote "shock content" for the sake of shock in order to get engagement.
Last I saw epidemiological data, cannabis smokers had a slightly lower odds ratio for lung cancer (<1.0) than non-anything-smokers (=1.0), while tobacco smokers had an OR in the high single digits (>8.0)
But new episodes were coming out weekly after the first few seasons were released on Netflix.

Wikipedia: "It had fair viewership in its first three seasons, but the fourth and fifth seasons saw a moderate rise in viewership when it was made available on Netflix just before the fourth season premiere."

"Breaking Bad's viewership grew greatly as viewers binged the series on Netflix, helping to assure that a fifth season could be made. The fifth-season premiere had more than double the viewership compared to the fourth season premiere, attributed to the Netflix availability"

I’m on the team that is implementing sudo-rs, and we are definitely aware of doas and other similar utilities. Doas does definitely have its usages, especially with the ‘just let me run this as root’ use case in mind. That said, there is also something to say for the more extensive configurability of sudo, and doas does sometimes have an execution model that might be a little too simple. And having another alternative is never a bad thing in my mind.

According to a dictionary, "household" means:

> those who dwell under the same roof and compose a family; also: a social unit composed of those living together in the same dwelling [1]

It seems more focused on the family unit rather than where they're located. If a household goes on vacation, are they not still a household when they are at their hotel? Why is it different if they're at a condo, which they own?

Disclosure: not that it matters, but I do not have a second home.

> TFA says the motivator is lack of capabilities against China. If the LCSs can be easily retrofitted to add capabilities, why not do so?

I don't think that's the issue. LCSs are small ships which goal to do small missions which would be much more expensive to do on large ships, cruisers for example. I don't think confronting China was their goal ever.

You can only financially engineer and money print your way for so long. Once living standards and real wages fall far enough, UK costs will get low enough to attract foreign investment again. A very educated workforce that speaks English with a good time zone will eventually be attractive at a low enough price.

The problems fall squarely on the British themselves, as it always does in democracies. They elected representatives who then made choices reflecting the collective will. Scape goat all you want but the answer is actually producing things of value that people around the world want to buy. Other than that it’s shell games.

Definitely one of the things that is on our radar! Lots of features in sudo are just basically legacy features, remnants from the 90s or 00s that are no longer necessary in a modern setup, but nevertheless exist because in past times they used to be the default or only option. We are particularly aware of how much power a suid binary has, so we do try to be cautious!
Yes you will find politics in everything if you look close enough, but not everything is trying to program you on what is and isn't acceptable to think. Even with Squid Game, one can enjoy it without ever thinking about capitalism. In fact some fans have even debated that it is actually criticism of communism which one can get away with because the viewer is given the room to think for themselves.

It may not be a "bug" in rollup.

Unfortunately, the current state of ESM in Node is such a mess that you can't assume most packages are tree-shakeable. There is package.json metadata to do that.

It's more likely to be a "simple" bug (with far reaching consequences) in react-icons' package.json and/or build process.

Taking a quick glance at https://github.com/react-icons/react-icons/blob/master/packa...

Yeah, it's using the old non-standardized "module" field as opposed to the modern and mostly standard (now at least) "exports" field [1] or "type" field.

"exports" would be a quick fix of the existing package.json file with no other changes to the build process, but given this is a UI package intended primarily for browser usage I'm having a hard time understanding why it bothers to include CommonJS at all and isn't just `"type": "module"` and remove CommonJS from the build entirely.

That probably points to why this hasn't been done yet: it gets into a bikeshed argument and a lot of potential discussion on big changes to a presumably "not broke" build system.

Team Cherry produced a great game. I wouldn't be willing to call them a good company or a good team; their track record shows as plainly as you could possibly wish that they are terrible at developing games.
Well, when the shoe fits...
If you go back to when T-mobile was incredibly competitive, plans were often $20-30. If I want a month, I can get a SIM prepaid for $30 or less with all the data in the US, and sometimes as little as $3 in Europe.

Plus there was a time, albeit almost a decade ago now when the dollar was on par. Even about a year ago the dollar was still aiming for 0.8 rather than the 0.74 it’s flirting with right now.

Lastly, if you want an Apple Watch with cellular, you end up needing a more expensive plan from the big three rather than their sub-brands. And the Canadian government is threatening regulation to encourage carriers to offer more data for less.

The addition of "household" is a new addition they made, likely coupled with this change in direction about password sharing. The word household does not appear in archived versions of their page discussing streaming plans.

2017 (https://archive.is/KFZtP) "No matter which plan you choose, you can install the Netflix app on as many devices as you want, and enjoy as many TV shows and movies as you want, anytime, anywhere." In 2017, not only were they not talking about households, they were explicitly bragging about how you can watch on any device in multiple locations, which conflicts with the concept of a household they are pushing now.

2021 (https://archive.is/OzbRU) "The plan you choose will determine the number of devices that you can watch Netflix on at the same time.
With all of our plans, you can download the Netflix app on all your favorite devices and watch unlimited movies and TV shows."

But now in 2023 (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926) "As a Netflix member, you are charged monthly on the date you signed up. A Netflix account is for people who live together in a single household. Learn more about sharing Netflix."

Hi! Author of PrivacyTests.org here. Thank you very much for the comment. (I only just saw your reply.) PrivacyTests is very much a work in progress, and all feedback is much appreciated.

GPC does differ from Do Not Track in that the former is intended to carry the weight of law. See for example: https://cheq.ai/blog/what-is-a-global-privacy-control/

Regarding document.referrer, you are absolutely right that there is a cost/reward balance and most browsers have chosen to allow cross-site passing of the referrer. However, there are browsers on Android that do block cross-site referrer altogether (see https://privacytests.org/android.html).

"Media queries" refers to the fingerprinting threat where, for example, screen width and height is divulged. You are right that JavaScript can also be easily used to get screen width and height: any fingerprinting resistance feature should protect against screen fingerprinting via both JS and media queries, in my view. Some browsers already do that, as the results show.

Your question about scale is a good one. Some browsers (such as Firefox and Brave) embed fairly large blocklists. You are right that query parameters can be changed, but in practice I haven't seen any cases of that happening (yet).

As far as I am aware, Safari is (by default) blocking cookies/storage from Google Analytics and similar trackers, but not blocking the scripts themselves. You can see that cookie blocking reflected in the "Tracking cookie protection tests".
I don't know that they hire to inflate the share price.

In good times, I have felt like that some R&D projects exist just to say "we have people working on it" for investor calls and such. In bad times, those things can get cut.

Look at this code which prints out an HTML tag: https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html/blob/main/lib/dream_...

Initially you might think generating HTML tags from data structures in code should be a simple matter. But there are complexities--some tags are defined as having no child tags, others do. Some tags are purely character data (unstructured text), not structured data. Some are just comments. We need a way to compose multiple tags together into a single 'virtual' tag for flexible HTML generation. All these conditions can be pretty hard to keep track of--unless your compiler does exhaustiveness checking. Then the compiler will tell you if you missed any cases.

In the example above I didn't make any manual effort to cover all the cases, I simple listed out the cases I wanted to handle in order. The compiler made sure that I didn't miss any.
I need to add price details to my blog post. The main goal of mine was low cost. The total cost for me to produce each board is $17 where $14 of that is the SCD40 sensor.
Something else to factor in is stock compensation. That probably won't be reflected in the BLS data.

What I've also been told is that due to the legal complexity of hiring international folks remotely, a lot of the people working remotely for US companies are legally contractor in their home country (so they would be reported in the local stats as self-employed and not necessary in the same category as other software devs).

> Until the end of the U.S. Civil War, there wasn't any federal bank regulation. (Congress tried, but they couldn't agree on anything after the charter for the United States' national bank expired in 1836; we didn't have a central bank again until 1913.)

I should have known it would come down to 1836.

Andrew Jackson infamously said "The bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it", when he vetoed the charter. Jackson, an incorrigible proponent of "states' rights", opposed it on the basis of his belief that a federal institution such as the Bank trampled on states' rights. He also hated banks generally for personal reasons that might sound familiar in the recent world of financial instruments.
This analogy is completely wrong. The programmer would be the aero engineer, not the pilot.

Chemistry is a centuries old discipline, that people study undergrad a full four years before getting a PhD in the field of chemistry.

ML is a, practically speaking, 15 year old field that PhDs often begin to study after a couple of AI courses in undergrade and a specific track in grad school (while they study other parts of CS as part of their early graduate CS work).

There's just way less context in ML than Chemistry.
