Everything I'm seeing is that it is Chrome doing this, not Chromium. If the Googs decides to add features on top of Chromium in its Chrome release, that does not mean that other Chromium based browsers will have those changes automatically as well. It totally makes sense to me that Googs would not want these in the base Chromium as it's the secret sauce just for the Googs
If I'm understanding correctly, they're not turning on some other tracking prevention when you enable this "feature". It's strictly a privacy downgrade.
You’re truly all over the place here, but as to your “straw man” point, I was responding to these comments:

> Many times the "rightwing media" driven review bombing is about beloved series being damaged/unfaithful.

> The Watchmen TV show is a horrible example as it's literally fan-fiction with little to no real connection to the graphic novel. So that fact alone pissed a lot of people off.

Both are implying that new entries in a series should stick closely to previous entries. I don’t think being “unfaithful” or changing certain details is wrong if it’s necessary to tell a different story or provide a new experience.

And for games, are you really going to defend how developers make essentially the same Call of Duty and Halo over and over again and sell it for $60?

I never said that games have no replay value, and now you are the one attacking a straw man. I’m criticizing when new entries in a series bring nothing new to the table.

I can see how my wording there could lead to misunderstanding, but still, I thought it was clear based on context what I meant.
Yes they do, the supply chains still exist, we still use many of those alloys, etc. We still make rocket engines. In the F1's case we were just going too fast and didn't write things down.

In the nuclear weapons case we deliberately dismantled it.

This is true.

This is extremely painful for me to read. I don't even know how to describe how this is wrong.
Honestly true. They are probably patriotic, far from the larger problems, have cognitive dissonance (“im not living in a dystopian shithole because that would be hopeless “, etc. All it takes is one glaring mischaracterization by western media and their beliefs that they are misunderstood by the West are confirmed. They probably even know of many of the bad things that happen but are able to rationalize it.

It is fairly common. They probably aren't code splitting/tree shaking their bundle very well. With that said, I assume 99.99% of their user sessions come from a desktop computer, so I doubt hardly anyone notices. They have other things to work on that are more important than optimizing their 4mb app.js script.
Why increase your security bug surface 2x when you can increase it exponentially!
>this feature will track the web pages you visit and generate a list of advertising topics that it will share with web pages whenever they ask

This is factually incorrect. It works like third party cookies, but with privacy. A web page can only retrieve a topic if that site has already observe you visit pages of that topic. In order for you to observe a site that site must send a fetch request to you or embed you in an iframe.

If a random site calls document.browsingTopics() they get no topics as not enough data has been observed by them.
There are already a lot of people who can't drive for medical or other reasons, and probably more people who drive but shouldn't. Whether you think self driving is coming or not, our systems should be set up to support them.

There are many comments in this thread assuming it's a legitimate agreement made by the "city". My main point is that in the abstract, we should not take this as an open and shut moral certainty. Rather we should view the "contract" in the same light as a real estate deed signed by someone under undue influence or otherwise incompetent.

As for practical reform, especially with this failure in court? It might still be possible to get a majority of state politicians to constrain the city politicians. More centralized government is unfortunately one of the few remaining checks in this day and age.
I might be thinking of JSOLN. Let's talk about that instead.
How does not hinting your tools the rest of the time improve things?

Rust compatibility (thus versioning) is fairly fragile due to its relatively powerful type system, and yet:

>Around 1 in 31 releases had at least one semver violation

Abandoning semver means making it worse 30 out of 31 times for a fragile language, or likely more (because you do not always use the thing that technically broke, or in a way that notices the break). Other languages generally have even stronger arguments in favor of semver.

It's not a "both sides" thing, semver wins by an absolute knockout in every conceivable way, and especially in practical day-to-day ways. Anyone opposed to it does not know what they're talking about, or they're simply trolling, and it shows. There could definitely be better systems, but "just don't use semver lol" is not one of them.
North Americans and Western Europeans are incredibly naive about how authoritarian states work.

All authoritarian states will end up having a caste sysem hierarchy. The upper caste have it just as good a people in the West and in modern times they will have unfiltered access to the Internet. They have zero reason to revolt because they have everything then need.
I assume that inconvenience is intentional -- otherwise everyone would enable it.

Thank you. Do you find the "Dehyped title" useful in those cases?
If I were nefarious I would attempt to login to websites with variations of pwned passwords and you would be one pwned trivial bullshit site away from having your entire digital life pwned. This form of security is worse than nothing because it gives a false assurance of security AND a false concept of ergonomics in one go.

99.9% of people are going to be unable to remember a reasonable number of variants that aren't trivially deterministic and once things are very similar to another its increasingly easy to confuse them.

You can sync your encrypted password vault between local devices and a remote resource which has access to the vault but not the key for same. At that point is very very hard to get pwned or lose access to anything. This was a solved problem 20 years ago.
Google’s ad network might not have access. But does Google have access?

I don't want to defend Boeing's management but even with the worst failure in, what, half a century? it's still much safer to fly than drive so I wouldn't be so quick to throw aviation security culture under the bus.
The analysis in this post, as others have pointed out, is quite poor. I still wouldn't install the app, especially after the Pinduoduo scandal earlier this year (which was well substantiated), but this isn't very good evidence.
Conversely, I find that often very "woke"/political films are rated overly highly on RT compared to how much I enjoy them. I'm not right wing, it just isn't going to make me enjoy an otherwise mediocre film.

Black Panther, for example, was a perfectly fine film... but who isn't bored of Marvel stuff now, and is it really worth 96%? Higher than The Dark Knight? And even that was probably somewhat overrated due to Health Ledger's passing...
I camped in -42C or so (every degree matters at those temps) once and slept in a quinzee which is basically a snow fort build from digging out compacted snow. The temp outside at night was -42 and the temp in the quinzee was about -20. Coldest night of my life.

> If people didn't need cars, they wouldn't buy them.

This is a chicken-and-egg problem. US cities have spent billions on highways and parking and rewrote ordinances to require low density, car-dependent development. You could argue all of that is an honest reflection of voter desires (or at least voter desires of 40 years ago, when most of that stuff happened), but many have undoubtedly bought a car because their environment was designed that way.
In Japan they use 止まれ (tomare).
This whole “plastic ban” is just a feeble and disgusting distraction from the orders of magnitude larger environmental issues facing humanity.

But since we apparently, absolutely need to continue to burn down the house we all live in, banning plastics is seemingly a great and democratic compromise on environmental issues.

Yes, plastics are bad, but it’s like plugging a single hole in one bathtub on the Titanic, which apparently large amounts of politicians across the western world feel is a great win.

Because Firefox exists. And anyone can use Chromium to compete with Chrome fairly rapidly.

It’s not the new IE. In my mind it’s worse than the new IE because it achieves similar goals as the IE abuse but without necessarily doing anything illegal.

At least with email you can change your address. I once had a process server come to my door to serve a summons, it was my first and last name with a different middle initial. When I pointed that out to the process server, he said "close enough" and walked away.

I had never been served a summons before so I was worried about it, I called a lawyer and the lawyer said to just throw the summons in the trash.

Although apparently the guy with the same name as me was going bankrupt or something, his bad debts started showing up on my credit report and I had to mail the reporting agencies to take them off, went on for a few years.
They absolutely do not “have” money in a meaningful sense. They are very poor and the past few years have been much harder than decades past.
Surely if you’re looking for a game you pick a genre first, then look for the best reviewed game in that genre. It’s not like someone who wants an RTS game is going to choose a hidden object game instead because it has higher reviews.

Yep, "mango" is surprisingly consistent across every language I checked, but in Bengali and possibly quite a few other similar widely spoken languages it's different. Whereas "sushi" I haven't found a language using a distinct word for so far.
I tried it out, it is a very different app from Grindr and despite the very low floor I’m not sure I agree it is better. Totally disrespectful of the web platform and the UX is not great. But if you are looking for quick and/or anonymous sex exclusively it appears to be best of breed.
Decent? From a security perspective it's superior to the iPhone. As for Graphene, unless you've personally vetted the code I don't see how it can be trusted. And I won't even go into the drama that OS comes with.
Incredible work; I’ve cut down my config immensely by deleting external packages, using built-ins as much as possible, and emacs gives you a lot more out of the box now.

That said, magit is the star of the show.
I fail to see how timing and luck isn't a factor. It's more than how popular it was when it launched, many of those languages that are allegedly better had a strong timing disadvantage by either not existing or not being mature once the data science boom occurred (including equivalents to libraries like numpy, scipy, matplotlib and theano), allowing python to be the right option then. Any language that missed the timing must now play catch up with a fraction of the resources and completely unproven in the market.

Luck is harder to quantify, but at the very least competitors like common lisp didn't have much of it.
Finally decided to try out Emacs for a couple of days. (after years of vim and Jetbrains). Vanilla Emacs without batteries included.

I've found the configuration is surprisingly easy to read even tho I haven't seen lisp for 10 years. I think it's atrocious that many keybindings start with <C-x>, but it's easy to set it to another key (mine is <C-j> with capslock as <C>) so not a big deal.

My biggest complain so far is that the whole ecosystem is Unix-first. People say once they get used to Emacs they almost stay in it all day long. And even as an Emacs newbie I can confidently say these people all use Unix-like systems.

On Windows magit is really slow. Like much slower than any git GUI I've seen. And while eshell is usable, it feels rather primitive and not like a proper terminal. The default spellchecker option doesn't work on Windows either, but hunspell seems ok-ish (still a bit slow).

I understand that no one is oblige to write any software for my OS, but stil...

Edit:

The reason I don't use WSL: the last time I tried it, it was really slow when a windows process read from/wrote to a file living in linux file system, and vice versa. One obvious solution is to move as many file as possible to WSL, but I'm just not mentally ready to change my workflow that much.

Edit 2:

For people who like to try Emacs, I'd suggest to turn `which-key` on and install helpful-key. It's a software with the premise that you need to learn obscure key combinations.

This is more a coordination problem, semver doesn't really matter here, except as a good enough standard or guardrail for most. It's going to get broken from time to time, and that is fine.

The CUE Unity project is an interesting take on how to "solve" the bigger issue of breaking changes or regressions.

https://github.com/cue-unity/unity

Basically, the idea is that users can register their project, tests, or benchmarks in Unity. The project maintainers can then test new code against these projects before releasing, or even before pushing a commit, because a regression is found for example. This works by injecting the version (or local code) into the dependency management system. For CUE, this is a `go mod edit`, or setting up the environment with the cli at version / local. How this is set up and managed isn't as important as getting the process in place and making it an easy workflow for both sides. Hence why I call it a coordination problem.

We have a similar project Harmony, inspired by Unity, powered by Dagger.
