The ONS is something called a “Non departmental public body” which means it is not under the control of a minister and is at arms length from the current political rulers of the day.

Weirdly I used to work both at the ONS, and subsequently at the department of the cabinet office responsible for tracking and reporting on them!
Are you saying zeppelins are an especially important facility for the military? (I'm sure there are uses, but only the way there are uses for anything).

I am saying it's ignorant to imply that the helium isn't important because it was originally secured for zeppelins.
Will it be controversial? I feel that to most of us in tech it makes intuitive sense that too much screen time isn't a good thing. We know the vice it can be.
To be fair, American "cheese" isn't legally able to sold as "cheese" in America. That's a fun enough piece of trivia that it gets shared a lot.

There is something to be said for basic truth in advertising law, though. There is a fundamental difference in quality between what meets the requirements for "ice cream", "frozen dairy dessert", and "frozen dessert".

The issue is that it's currently not a regulatory requirement. So when you go to the chip maker and demand that their chip have drivers in the Linux kernel tree so it will continue to support newer kernel versions, they turn you down. Most of their customers don't care about this and they would have to pay a developer to produce drivers of the quality that would be accepted by the Linux kernel maintainers. Then you're stuck using what you can get.

If you had a rule saying that device makers have to produce security updates, now the device makers will all demand this because they need it to satisfy the regulatory requirement, and not be willing to take no for an answer.
Yes, and like many I've heard the anti-jamming explanation (contra the slow typists down one), so I actually find it interesting that this is a somewhat unsettled question.
Well, you can now. Just not legally or perhaps not even ethically.
Then your interacting with your client in a rigid contractual way instead of a collaborative creative nature. Not nearly as fun and you spend a lot of time being very careful with your written words and your sign offs.
Malloc for the web.

It’s famously what S3 was supposed to be, but isn’t. Remote memory as an API would enable some cool new serverless architectures. I have neither the time nor know-how to build it, but would love doing so.
By significant, I think I mean, will the flood of developers on the market be large enough to flood the supply of competent developers?

Second, there are Amazon backed OSS projects with distributed teams which could have downstream impact on the entire developer community.

Third, probably it would be a longer term impact, that's hard to predict on the actual bottom line and reputation of the company.
Polis signs executive order to boost affordable housing in Colorado
IDK man this is a pretty defeatist attitude and doesn't lead to any steps to improve the situation. There's an FTC commissioner here in the comments today who's interested in the community's input. If you don't think it will have any effect that's your prerogative, but members of the public providing good technical opinions can only be a good thing.

I don't agree with the vibe that past failures mean that regulations are pointless. Nothing is perfect at preventing abuses, but regulations do shape the actions of corporations and the terms of the discussion. Plus, the FTC is not one person - the commissioner making the post entered office in 2020, and so it seems broad to pin him with vague statements about the FTC completely failing us.
Thanks! Hah, yeah; that’s one of those sites I’ve always meant to deploy and never gotten around to!

This is experimental confirmation of existing accepted theories

Her lawsuit doesn't claim the data is not flawed; it does claim that they have ascribed to her intent where there was none, and that's the "defamation" part. Pushes their statements over the edge from "She made mistakes" to "This pattern of mistakes suggests malfeasance;" one is something that sometimes happens in the pursuit of science, the other is career-ending.

(Even if she were just pushing back on the fact claims: unfortunately, truth is an affirmative defense in a defamation suit. They'll still have to show up to present it, and that'd cost them lawyer time. An insurance pool to keep that lawyer-time money on standby would allow researchers to have less concern over such challenges in the future).
It’s supposed to go in the other end though. Stomach acid is unforgiving.
I grew up with analog photography. I still have my darkroom equipment (but haven’t used it in a while). I used to develop BW films and prints and even color slides. Here are some random thoughts:

- yes, film shots, specially color film shots can be amazing “out of the box” it’s like a great lightroom filter that’s just there; some of my favorite shots were shot on ektar

- developing film and prints is really a great hobby, i used to shot over summer and then develop in long winter nights… definitely keeps you off of social media

- there’s lots of experiments you can do… different developers, processes, lots to explore

- developing prints is a lot of work, at least it was for me. getting exposure and contrast right is hard. it could take me the whole evening to produce one print

- when a print is good, it is amazing. the level of detail you get, specially with slow films (iso 25) is really something else. of course, if you go MF or LF, even more so (some say that top 35mm lenses are probably better than LF lenses, but still nothing beats the shades you get on LF)

- I feel like my prints, even if they are not very good, are my creation. I’ve never felt the same of much better digital prints that come out of my inkjet

- chemicals are messy and you should dispose of them at your dangerous waste disposal (could cost you)

- advanced darkroom techniques require larger formats (like unsharp mask) - i’ve never done it. once you go digital, it’s hard to be happy with lesser results.

- some techniques require dangerous chemicals, but is trivial in digital

- photos of masters from the past would not be considered anything special today, expectations have shifted

- ansel adams was better engineer than photographer. his approach was very technical. of course, what he did was amazing at the time - you can’t imagine what it takes to hike Yosemite with a LF camera! he was successful because nobody else did it (and his technical excellence of course).

- focusing is a problem with film cameras. even the best cameras will have front/back focus. it was normal back then, but today, expectations are different

- everything that could have been done has been done on film

- future is in exploring new things, like ansel mounted his camera on the top of his car to get a novel perspective - today this novelty are drones, tomorrow it will be something else

- stereoscopic photography is unutilised (it’s an old film invention)

- i haven’t shot film for a few years now; i have a great full frame EVF, but I don’t use it much, either

>"It has a weak per-file copyleft (like version 1 of the Mozilla Public License)"

The CDDL isn't a strong copyleft licence. It doesn't give a shit what larger project you include the code into, and it doesn't give a shit how you licence the resulting binary. It's considerably more permissive than the GPL.

The conflict is entirely on the GPL side.
I don't deny that it's likely an exceedingly had thing to do, to transition, and that it's likely harder the longer you wait, just that when you're dealing with exponential growth that opting out too early is likely disastrous in it's own way.

I think it's a mistake to assume stability in nations and a strong self governing community between them can be assumed at all points in the future, especially if there is some stop to exponential growth at some point (but not only because of that). Economic power is somewhat fungible with mitary power, and lack of power in a possible future less stable system of nations could be very problematic.

In short I think the safest and most conservative path for any nation to protect it's future is to take advantage of as much growth as it safely can for as long as it lasts.

Another way to look at is that is the U.S. was to opt out of growth right now, how long would it take for us to become irrelevant on the world stage, and how long after that before we were (and our citizens) negatively impacted by trade deals because of lack of leverage (which is probably a best case scenario of negative possibilities IMO). It's the job of a government to avoid that scenario.

Transitioning is hard, but I'm not sure it's harder than the alternative, depending on how far out we are to it being forced on everyone.

That said, I'd be happy to read whatever info you have on the topic to expand my thinking.
No user control is being removed. The data was managed by the app by design.

There is no way for the phone to know who owns the device, nor would it be able to know that when ownership is transferred to not show sensitive information to the new owner.
> It's true, but that would be within Twitter and Meta's rights. The real issue was that they did so at the behest of the incoming administration, in behind-the-scenes meetings. It's the involvement of government officials that may have broken laws and trampled the First Amendment. Also egregious and painful to see was that they shadow-banned accounts rather than banning them outright.

I don't believe there is any evidence for any of these claims. Rather the opposite: pro-freedom pro-business anti-regulation conservatives have been crying wolf for years now, demanding special meetings with tech companies, demanding special treatment, demanding government intervention, demanding that they be allowed to say anything without consequences.

Modern US conservatives are a minority. How big of a minority depends on how you draw the lines. Republican policy proposals are often (but not always) even more unpopular. Cognitive dissonance (or just good old fashioned politicking) demands some conservatives insist otherwise and see everything as some kind of suppression effort or conspiracy.

It's the whole "conservatism can't ever fail... it can only be failed" thing at work. Or the Simpsons Skinner meme: "Am I Out of Touch? No, it's the voters who are wrong!" If only the big mean tech companies weren't suppressing my clearly superior views everyone would agree with me. No... maybe your views are just way less popular than you think. Maybe instead of being shadow banned people just think you're an asshole.

I am saying that people like you are not enough to help the 99% of people who have an iot product.
I probably won't have the time to build it, so I post the idea here.

Pitch:

Social digital minimalism is a countermovement to social media like Instagram or Facebook, where users curate content online in order to create an artificial image consumed by other users. This is unhealthy and inauthentic. Young people realize this and crave *authenticity* ^1^2. Furthermore, I am in a long distance relationship and wish there was an app to help us connect more.

*"For 2"*

"For 2" is a simple app designed for couples or best friends. The core idea? You can connect with just one person. It's not about broadcasting to the world; it's about sharing moments with that one person who means the world to you.

*Core Features:*

- *Daily Image Share:* Every day, send one image to your partner. It's a way to share a moment, no matter how mundane or extraordinary.
- *Home Screen Widget:* Display today's image right on your home screen (akin to Loket^2).
- *Timed Image:* Maybe there's a specific time both of you are free. Set a time, and you both get a notification to take a picture. If you miss it, you can't view images from your partner that day. (Still mulling over this one. Thoughts?)
- *Live Sync:* Imagine both of you taking a picture at the same time and seeing each other's live view. Cool, right?
- *Filters & Frames:* Play around with fun filters or split frames to make paired poses.
- *Streak Indicator:* Keep the connection going and see how long you can keep the streak alive.

- *Chat:* Because sometimes, an image isn't enough.
- *Reply to Images:* Share your thoughts on that daily image.
- *Snap-style Media:* Send media that's visible just once for those fleeting moments.
- *Regular Media & Voice:* For everything else.

*Thinking About Adding:*

- *Map:* A way to see where your partner is.
- *Stories:* Click on their profile pic to see their day's story. No notifications, unless you haven't checked it out by day's end.
- *Sound Message:* Once a day, send a sound notification to your partner. A fun way to say, "Hey, thinking of you."
- *Daily Question:* Once a day, you and your partner answer an interesting question and you can read each others answers
- *Calendar:* Shared calendar

I'm always working on things. The problem is that my ambitions get bigger and bigger, so the metric of "how many projects have you created" is a low number, despite the fact that projects are the only thing that I do in my spare time (no wife/kids, live alone, few local friends).

I should be better about putting my stuff out there, but the problem is that once I've built it for myself, then I've already gotten out of it what I wanted to get out of it! And I don't want to go through the headache of making it palatable for everyone else, including writing documentation. But I need to be more disciplined about it and do it anyway. :)

> What kind of projects...?

Everything from home automation to C++ libraries to SAAS ideas that I only implement for myself.
I know someone who took that course. They did not have fond memories of it.

My impression is that it can be a very frustrating way to learn mechanics if you don't have much interest in functional programming.

We disagree that this is even desirable (and why English, rather than Hebrew or Dutch?) - but BASIC is a pretty good example of a general purpose language which is close to English.

Retracted: Sensational theory about a civilization-ending comet in ancient Ohio
Yeah I think photography is a good demonstration of how "practical" concerns are often stronger than the "performance" differences that enthusiasts instead focus on. Early digital cameras were, in a word, shit, yet they still had strong interest from consumers due to the "productivity" benefits. Once prices came down they quickly ate film market share, yet 35mm film arguably still had better image quality even in the mid-00s as the crossover point was reached. Though of course digital has now well overtaken film in IQ, it took longer than people remember, especially in the average consumer electronics sector
I meant a legal action, to which 230 would be a defense. Perhaps you should re-read 230 if you think it has relevance outside of legal actions.

>Getting companies to not delete posts if they want to not be held liable for stuff their users posts helps prevent this issue.

There's no circumstance here where twitter is being attempted to be made liable for their users posts, so what relevance is 230?
I have a mechanical keyboard on my main desktop system. But I have to admit that, given the amount of typing I do on short-throw (non-butterfly) MacBook keyboards, I'm not sure I really have a clear preference at this point.

(And there's something to be said more generally for the keyboards you use day to day not being radically different from most other keyboards you'll encounter.)
> I've read that it's necessary (and other's have said it's not)

It is not, it's outdated advice that stubbornly persists. Try it yourself if you are not convinced, create a pool using /dev/sdx and change the device order, zfs will still find it, because why wouldn't they just dereference sdx and store UUIDs?
Could one not still do voter coercion and vote selling using the existing postal vote system?

Ink printers, where do I start, there’s only one style I can even recommend. Refillable. Forget HP, forget Canon, Brother, get yourself an Epson refillable. Obviously, laser is superior, but if you really want to keep costs down, Epson’s refillable inkjet printers are the only ones that don’t shutdown if you run out of black ink scent. It’s a racket and you should not participate in providing HP or any of those printer companies your money.

So what? Apparently what you're ignorant of is that airships are not why it's important to preserve a store of helium.
Huh, yeah, that's a lot better-looking. It's actually got nine thumbkeys. Still got too few keys though, I already hate having the media control keys and f-keys crammed into two layers on a stock Mac keyboard and this makes both of them into layers on top of the numrow.
Am I missing something or is there no "blunder" described in the article? I'm my view, a blunder would be something like the missing rows in the Excel formula that was used as a basis for the austerity policy in 2010 or indeed the row limit being exceeded which led to thousands of COVID test results being lost.

I get mild carpal tunnel symptoms when working straight on my Macbook, so I bought a Kinesis Freestyle Pro. The split and tenting are great and do the trick for my wrists but it's got a different layout than the MacBook. And a lot more keys than I need. It's large and a hassle to pack up and take with me.

Why does no one build a split keyboard that has the exact same layout as a MacBook? I feel like that would be my holy grail. I don't even care about mechanical switches (I know, blasphemy!)

>America’s biggest mistake is underrating Indian quite a lot

Like other world cuisines, most Americans are exposed to a narrow range of Indian food: mainly a smattering of North Indian dishes and Indian-inspired dishes adapted by the British. Colonial domination of India still casts a pall over world affairs, it seems.
There is so much work out there that is cut & dried. It's not what you'd call software engineering stuff - more the bread & butter of consultants. But you really need to know the domain space to ensure you have those cutoffs (some of which might sound very limiting). About 3-4 times after you've deployed a specific solution for a specific vertical, you should be able to productize it (on 2nd and 3rd times through you're essentially spending extra effort to determine and test those boundaries for future implementations).

Often the goal of a cheap fixed price is to show how limiting that is so they know why you can't productize a fully customized solution.
It's auction, what do you mean "below market cost"?
You should think of the French department at a college as being analogous to the English department; they are literature departments and the professors are specialized in particular domains of literature and the coursework is centered on literature. e.g. see e.g. see this schedule of course requirements [0]. It requires just 1 year of advanced study in learning to speak and write the language itself, the rest is on reading, criticism, and specialized areas of French literature.

One could argue that learning about 17th century French drama makes this even more of a waste of time and money. Personally I think it's great that society has enough surplus wealth that people with a passion for particular topics can 'waste' their time in this way.

I have a daughter, and it is just crazy once you start reading books how much is needlessly male focussed.

From the first farmyard books where the boy is driving the tractor and the girl is in the cart on the back. To fantastic Mr fox and his four small foxes (all male) etc etc. It's just extremely unbalanced.

In our community, there's every reason not to use a male default everywhere. It would not have changed the original commenters meaning at all to have said "they" instead of "him" and would have been more inclusive. Surely that's a good default?
