It's seems crazy to me that that's so difficult in the US.

In the UK, you can open an account with a new bank and just tell them to switch over all your direct debits and give them the account number/sort code.

They'll contact your old bank, get everything moved across and get your old account closed on your behalf. The old bank is also obliged to reroute any payments from your old account for 6 months afterwards too IIRC
It feels like there's one of these "doesn't work on FF" threads any time there's a post about a halfway interesting web app.

Intentional or not, they really contribute (in my mind at least) to the overall perception that Firefox is truly dead. Nobody even tests for it anymore, or worse, accepts that it's fine to be broken on FF.
That would be rat terrier paradise. Your biggest problem would be what to do with lots of mice carcasses.
I don't think that would be my preferred use-case for visualizing code or infra. I would use it when looking for issues (like to tight coupling, recursion, ...) but not for documenting or similar.

Also, regarding architecture, why is more important than how (2nd law of software architecture, see Mark Richards), but such a tool especially provides the how and fails to explain the why at all - making it not a perfect for a software architect.

The difficulty in documenting code is not creating a diagram of it, but rather simplyfing the things enough so that one can understand it quite "fast" while not omitting important details. I'm fairly confident that this task requires some sort of intelligence a tool can only provide to some degree.
> Keep in mind too though that using and scaling GPUs is not free. You have to run the models somewhere.

Long or medium term these will probably be dirt cheap to just run in the background though. It might be within 3-5 years since parallel compute is still growing and isn’t as bounded by moores law stagnation
To order assembled boards from JLCPCB you just have to upload the PCB design files and BOM/placement files and give them a credit card. People are even recommending ordering the Cypress part from LCSC (JLCPCB’s parts division) already. So they might be able to completely assemble this with a straightforward enough order process. However, the minimum assembly order is two boards.

Edit: Another potential issue is that their in-stock parts do vary, so you wouldn’t be guaranteed of a successful order from an old BOM. The designer would probably need to update the files periodically.
The only thing I can think of is player comfort. I imagine that huge soundboard is extra loud. Best to not place it directly in front of the player's face.
One, they've got some data. Two, why is it their job to prove the problem rather than the job of the people proposing the change to demonstrate safety? Three, why is it San Francisco's job to be a proving ground for this?

I think there's pretty good theoretical reason to think automated cars are, asbsent AGI, fundamentally unable to be good traffic participants: traffic is social. And I'm hardly alone here; robot scientist and iRobot founder Rodney Brooks is very skeptical of the current self-driving efforts. His predictions have turned out to be much more accurate than the boosters. And that's before we even get to the question of other impacts.

So I think the burden of proof here should not be on the city. It should be firmly on the people making self-driving cars. Why aren't they arriving with real numbers?
There is more and better quality news available now than ever in history and people flock to the crappiest options because they can't get enough. It's demand.

A toolbox with all the basic tools I need (screwdrivers, pliers, hammer, cutter) + a few tools not in the toolbox (electric drill/screwdriver with a set of drill bits, wire stripper), screws and dowels, etc.

Crafting anything at home requires an insane amount of tools, so I’m really glad I invested in proper equipment. I still need to buy a few things (not tools but generic things like wedges) but I can do more and more unplanned things without needing to buy anything.
Torment in the dungeons of the orcs, what else could that be? The fact she had to leave Middle-earth forever after the ordeal, strongly suggests what actually happened, as does the fact it so galvanized her sons.
The "core" (most of the "plumbing") was always C/C++ and most of those bash scripts (with very few Perl exceptions) were automating GNU C/C++ tools. I've certainly referred to git as a Frankenstein's monster of shell scripts myself, but the sorts of developers that hate Python often don't seem to see bash scripts, they see lots of little invocations of C/C++ tools and "C/C++ core" matters to them. (They also tend to get irrationally angry when you challenge that logic and point out what the C in CPython, the most common Python runtime, stands for.)

> Whether it was the language or not, Mercurial was objectively slower than Git.

That was not my experience, but I was on Windows at the time. Mercurial "objectively" had good Windows performance. (Not just because it ran at all, versus how much work it took to tame Frankenstein's Monster of shell scripts that was early git to run at all on Windows. But also because it's file system transaction model always fit Windows better.)

(ETA: Also, to be fair, my "team" at the time was darcs and my opinions on VCS performance at the time were from a very different perspective.)
I am not arguing against having an oracle. Just saying in the static type-system (like the ones in Rust / C++ / Swift) would be too frequent to invoke to inhibit development. I think having a linter pass or similar is great. Much like TypeScript actually, where the type hint is the addon rather than intrinsic to the development process, making various things easier at REPL time.
Sure, if your mobile device is only allowed to use "approved" web browsers. Which is one of the key harms to users that the proposed WEI standard will inflict.

Because the expansion of the wildcard needs to happen with the privileges granted by sudo. If you just ran "sudo rm ..." the expansion would be done by the current shell, which doesn't have the required privileges.
Nice links!

But cloudflare references robots.txt a lot ( which i mentioned before => to respect robots.txt)

Additionally, they solve the authentication problem here. As a website owner that got bad crawlers ( that copied user agents), i just whitelisted Google's IP's and blocked all the other crawlers.

It seems that cloudflare is actually fixing this problem and making competition for Google possible here.

I recall an article that Bing actually circumvented robots.txt a bit, because site owners were only allowing Google and blocked all the rest => Bing. Which gave Google an unfair advantage ( searched for it, couldn't find it)

Similar article to highlight the issue: https://www.fastcompany.com/90709672/the-little-known-reason...

Our opinions about this seem to differ severely. Cloudflare actually enables good bots to start competing ( while respecting robots.txt).
I avoid the news because it’s often wrong (and I don’t necessarily blame them, because they are reporting with incomplete information as it appears).

I find that it’s much more productive to just ask “what happened 2 weeks ago?”. All the unverified trash gets filtered out at that point. All the outrage bait has simmered down.
It's very strange how lately new Google product launches always seem to be gated behind waitlists or slow incremental rollouts. Back in the Gmail days that happened for genuine reasons like very real machine capacity constraints, the explosive popularity of the product and so on. But these days Google has so much machine capacity they sell it to other people, and an experimental IDE isn't the sort of thing that's going to experience explosive consumer-scale growth. Presumably the waitlist is for product management reasons but it's an odd choice. Usually products get a spike of interest when first launched which then rapidly evaporates (see Threads, but also e.g. Chrome and Wave had the same issue), and so it's not a good idea to waste that first surge of interest.
It renders just fine for me
Reinstating the Fairness Doctrine would be the one switch to flip to undo a lot of this very destructive mess. Of course all of the media giants would throw all the lawyers at it. Now that they know how incredibly lucrative news-as-entertainment is. But it's what must be done to turn this problem around and get a handle on it.
Seems like a developer that is getting literally nothing for his app or plugin is more likely to sell it than a developer that's getting some income from it. At the least, the buyer would need to match the current value that the app provides its author.
To be very clear, most of the people I know and work with would not get the card one.
Thank you for all the kind submissions everyone.

It really is such a cool field, but yeah, the pay isn't great, especially given the tendency to crunch.
Wait, this thing is STILL in pre-order? When is it actually supposed to ship? I first heard about it when the 1st gen Switch came out, and then silence for years. I assumed it'd come and gone, but it hasn't even actually shipped yet...? Are people still expecting it to, or is it considered vaporware by this point?

Uh, early 2000s? There was very much 24/7 news media back then. Mature internet news, immature social media, multiple 24/7 national news channels for most major countries and languages...

I daresay most teens in the early 2000s were aware of such minor news events as Sept. 11 and the subsequent decade of global war.

Your stereotypical Millennial news junkie that the Wapo is crying about moving on with their lives was minted in this era of hyper-pervasive media.

Note that the actual non-news media of the early 2000s, and the period pieces that remake it, mostly ignore this reality and are culturally set a decade or more earlier. This is a sort of 'the Simpsons' effect where creators in their 30s and 40s who don't realize how much the world has changed produce media about their childhood set in the present.
Even when people visited, opening and closing doors (even if indirectly through an airlock)?
"Cable TV and the internet are to blame for this"

Viewers are to blame. Cable and the internet are just better than ever monetizing the garbage people gravitate towards. There's more high quality journalism on offer than ever and it's audience just keep dwindling in favor of social media and purely fraudulent news like FOX.

People talk about media or corporations or government like they're from some alternate dimension or alien species. They're run by the exact same human beings that exist in your daily life. Most people act out of self-interest and are subject to bias. Media didn't invent it, it's an extension of human nature.
Even in the modern day, it is (often, but not always) a meme. The reason your phone stops getting security updates isn't physics but the economics of selling phones. People buy new phones, not old phones, and OEMs allocate their labor to work on those phones. There is no conspiracy to force you to upgrade. If you could somehow release an HTC Hero today with Android 13.0.0_r66 on it, it wouldn't be a viable business. People don't make purchasing decisions based on security updates.
Since it is in a class of other well known vulnerabilities, I'm going to assume that there has been quite a bit of active research by state-operated and state-sponsored labs. I think it's more likely than not that this has been exploited.
One thing that sometimes gets lost is site owners that use cloudflare have sort of global options for how paranoid they want to be, then they can make specific WAF rules that can be as granular and aggressive as they want. So at least in some cases, cloudflare gets blamed for website owners setting really aggressive rules. The effect on the end user usually looks exactly the same.

Case in point, I set a waf rule that blocked all non verified bot traffic from several big datacenters (Google cloud, OVH, digital ocean, etc). That turned out to be a mistake because a lot of corporations were routing their traffic through those ASNs for some reason. Now they’re blocked. They could have gotten pissed out cloudflare, the error page looks the same, but it was really misconfiguring it.
> Is a bank bad for excluding certain browsers?

Yes, because it's stupid; they don't need to. The bank cares about correctly identifying who I am, not what client I am using. Nor do they exclude certain browsers because those browsers make it easier for a user to lie about who they are; they don't. Banks exclude certain browsers because their technically incompetent coders convinced their technically incompetent managers to do so.

Another very simple way is to make your own thing with the default Automator app.

* open up Automator and create new application

* select “change system appearance” and select toggle light/dark mode.

* save the ‘app’

Now, whenever you want to toggle light/dark mode, just open up spotlight and open up whatever you named the app.
There’s probably a way to do it with Shortcuts too.
"The application, at least the time of writing, and the installations I’ve been made aware of, makes a lot of connections to https://stubbs.frontgatetickets.com/, a website that sells tickets to live music events for a restaurant in Austin, TX."

Last night I got a notification that advertised Game Pass to me. I angrily clicked on manage notifications and there’s a notification source called “Suggested” that somehow was turned on. That was the last straw for me. I go through so much diligence setting up my browser’s ad block, only for the OS to bypass all that.

For now “Suggested” is turned off and I disabled all notifications for good measure, but I don’t know how much longer Windows will allow that. I don’t intend to find out.
It’s interesting that the people so concerned with the survival of democracy or whatever, also seem deeply skeptical of actual democratic outcomes.

You guys gotta decide if you like democracy or not. Is it still acceptable when the results are tainted by voters watching watching the wrong, untruthful, bad, fringe news instead of the good, right, truthful, mainstream kind?
Utility. PayPal claims they will allow payments to be done in this if the user wants to. Let's say someone holds 20 PYUSD and he reaches the checkout page of an item costing $10. He should be able to use 10 PYUSD to buy that item. PayPal will also allow free conversion between PYUSD and PayPal balance. So crypto folks finally have something that can actually be used IRL.
I have used both, just compared them to remind myself of them. Amfora reflows text so it's actually readable, bombadillo doesn't.
As C replacement, I would say relatively ok, specially if you look at it from the point of view of Limbo in Inferno.

As C++ replacement, I would stay is too lacking in features. For that I would rather reach out to C#, D, Java (with OpenJ9/Graal), or even Haskell/OCaml.
This is the real big question. We don't know how human reasoning works, but we are happy to identify, entirely based on external interaction, what is and isn't correct human reasoning.

Then someone comes up with P(A|B) is not reasoning, which seems like an internal mechanism.

How do we square that?
It has been struck down and probably would be again if anyone felt like suing: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2007/07/court-says-no-to..., https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=592583419165850...

> [Safeway] reserves the right to, from time to time, with or without notice to you, in [Safeway's] sole discretion, amend the Terms and Conditions for use and purchases regarding the online shopping services. Any amendment by [Safeway] will be effective only as to orders you place after [Safeway's] revisions of these Terms and Conditions as displayed on the Web site. [Safeway] will plan to notify you of any material amendments to these Terms and Conditions; however, it is your responsibility to review the Terms and Conditions before submitting each order. [Safeway] has no responsibility to notify you of any changes before any such changes are effective.

> Defendant argues that, at the time of their safeway.com registration, Class Members agreed to give Safeway the authority to change the terms of the contract without notice to them, by indicating that they agreed to the version of the Special Terms that are in effect at the time they make their subsequent orders. Defendant's version of the Special Terms states that customers agree to the terms "and the form in which they appear at the time your online transaction is processed." ECF No. 187 at 16-17 (emphases added). In order to complete their registration, Customers were required to manifest agreement to the Special Terms shown to them by clicking a link. Defendant contends that, as a result of users' agreement to this Special Term at the time of their registration, Safeway was not required to notify customers of future changes to the terms for those changes to become effective. Safeway contends that, because Class Members read the initial registration contract, every time they opted to go forward with an online purchase after registration, they were on notice that they were assenting to a new contractual agreement, governed by the Special Terms operative elsewhere on the website at the time of that purchase.

> The Court rejects this argument. The safeway.com agreement did not give Safeway the power to bind its customers to unknown future contract terms, because consumers cannot assent to terms that do not yet exist. A user confronting a contract in which she purports to agree to terms in whatever form they may appear in the future cannot know to what she is are agreeing. At most, this term in the safeway.com agreement could be read to indicate that a customer agrees to read the terms and conditions every time she makes a purchase on the website in the future. But the Court also concludes that, even in light of their agreement to the Special Terms at the time of registration, customers' assent to the revised Terms cannot be inferred from their continued use of safeway.com when they were never given notice that the Special Terms had been altered.
How So? I mean, NightOwl doesn't have an arrangement with your ISP, they have an arrangement with you.

I'm not sure your ISP is going to delete your account because you didn't know some app was doing something shady. If the standard is every app user has to know what each app does under the hood, then there's going to be a lot of people who won't be able to match that standard.

At Amazon scales, you weigh in how much money you'll save by breaking laws and eventually getting a slap on the wrist fine versus all other alternatives. Unsurprisingly it's often much cheaper to be terrible to your employees and replace them endlessly, than it is to not be terrible. Especially once you make unionization nigh impossible.
I found the terms when I went on an angry research binge in search of a name for my preference and frustration. What I discovered, in addition to the name, was an interesting twist:

Scopal ambiguity and isomorphic readings have played an interesting role in research on linguistic development for a long time. It turns out that little, little kids also strongly prefer isomorphic readings of statements involving quantifiers like this. But as they grow up, the 'inverse scope reading becomes accessible' to them— they gain the ability to correctly interpret the common way of phrasing these things which strikes you and me as 'wrong'.

I have a lot of thoughts about this, but I've never really followed up on that initial research or asked a linguist what they think all that's about. I think for me, my preference for isomorphic readings and phrasings definitely relates to at least these two things:

1. I'm neurodivergent and part of what that means for me is that context is difficult, and I tend to prefer explicit syntax over reliance on context.

2. I work in a profession where (a) I deal with machines/languages that (obviously) always expect scopal isomorphism and (b) we often care about a quantification (all X are not Y) that is rarely actually intended in natural language.

The more I revisit it, the more curious I get about this difference in handling 'ambiguity' (it doesn't feel ambiguous to me at all! lol) and where it comes from. :)

Conversely, if composers knew of the Alexander piano's existence they may have written specifically for it taking advantage of the bass' clarity.

A lot of advice from successful people is tainted by survivorship bias. So the fact that the advice comes from a successful person isn’t sufficient to determine that it’s good advice.

Maybe we should demand that all advice undergo a large sample size double-blind study before it reaches our eyeballs. Only those pieces of advice with p values under 5% are fit for consumption.

correct. They interpret what the law says, not what it "intends." If the legislators really wanted it to say something else, they should have written it that way.
