All existing and new TikTok accounts for 13- to 15-year-olds have been set to private – meaning only people approved by the user can view their content – by default since 2021.

Lazarus is generally fine, but I wanted to port my one old small app and was pretty surprised that they have nothing Bluetooth-related OOB.
Also kinda wish it were possible to build your apps with dynamic RTL/VCL (or whatever they call it there).
I've always found that saying dumb. It's basically stating that this is the null hypothesis, and you have to have p = 0.001 to convince me otherwise.

When dealing with complex questions of which we have but datapoints, the probability of scenario A vs B moves in a linear scale, not according to arbitrary requirements of "extraordinary evidence".
It seems like a good case for enforcing open hardware architecture in tablets. If manufacturers were required to expose a unified connector and design hardware in a way that allows installation of expansion modules (think PC expansion cards, but in smaller form factor) we'd see more innovation and more use cases for tablets.
Thank you very much for making this nice tutorial about how to build a website...You always post nice blogs and I always find your blog helpful...Keep making this and hope for your success.
There's still argument about this. The oft mentioned Dodge v. Ford Motor Company 1919 covers much the argument for and against. But it's clearly not straightforward.

My (IANAL) reading of it is that maximising shareholder value is probably the law, but it's practically unenforcible. Being practically unenforcible doesn't stop CEOs and boards from using it as a guiding principle.

The Guide to Free Ping Monitoring: Boosting Website Performance
In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital realm, where the internet is the lifeblood of businesses and individuals alike, ensuring the optimal performance of your website is paramount. One powerful tool in your arsenal for achieving this is the free ping monitor.
It can have USB0 speeds and it would make no difference. Since iCloud and Airdrop over a decade ago, I haven't synched a photo or file from or to my iPhone since.

But many people care more about spec comparisons than real life impact.

Sales and installs don't happen at the same time. If I buy a game once on Steam, I might install it on any number of unique devices. Per the Unity FAQ, every one of those installation events results in an additional bill for the game's developer.

In other words: This is absolutely a retroactive rug-pull on new installs of old sales.

Update: Because of the way they're rolling this out, the only way to avoid the retroactive license change is to immediately stop using Unity's development tools. If I were running a game studio, that's what I would do.

I found your website with nature sounds for focus, relaxation and sleep to be incredibly useful. The variety of sounds available is impressive, and the quality is excellent. I have been using the sounds to help me focus while working and to relax before bed, and they have made a noticeable difference in my productivity and sleep quality. Thank you for providing such a valuable resource!

where does this notion of 'protecting the whole Europe from fascist hordes' come from? has there been any indication that Russia genuinely intended to steamroll Europe if they had taken Ukraine as planned?

I try PlantNet when Seek can't identify something. It often feels more successful because it always gives a list of possibilities, but when the top answer is like 40% probable I don't actually know if it's doing any better than Seek.

Downsides are that it requires service, and obviously it doesn't work for animals. Seek works perfectly in the middle of the wilderness with zero service, it always feels incredible.
You're the one who decide to take an animal as a pet, knowing all the damage it can do to the environment. If you're fine with it then that's ok for you but you can't force your pet to be in prison because you don't want it to kill other species, if that's the case then you should not consider getting one in the first place.

Would you want to live in a cage your whole life? Then why do you want to do it to others?
Never heard of the Golden Rule: "Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you"?

I understand your point of view, I share it, cats are deadly to many smaller species that's why if you're against that then you shouldn't get a cat at all.

PS: Australia's problem is about the Feral cats and they are making traps in the wild to poison their skin thanks to some box trap and AI.
Also, their "license" expires after a year and you have to re-obtain your free keys or reinstall it altogether. Pretty weird.

The reMarkable tablet was a great product, until they started uploading all of the contents in the name of syncing to the cloud.

I liked to use it with PDF templates. Download a PDF template and now it uploads the content in the name of 'syncing'. I've found no way to turn this miss-feature off. If you delete the data on the cloud then the next sync deletes it from the table.

This has made this device useless for professional people that are legally bound to not share data about clients, etc.

Not financial advice. Do your own research but I think this should cover why people are wary of ESG.

I think the idea sounds ok. who wouldnt want to invest in these firms? They care about the environment and society and making the world better, right? Well, the implementation is 100% BS.

Tesla was removed from the SP500 ESG index.

They get a lower score than oil and tobacco companies. Nike and many other firms are using slave labor and get higher scores. Ford and Stellantis have higher scores. The government allows for plans to select these funds for reasons that violate fiduciary duty. The majority of funds underperform the market. They use your money to reward politically aligned companies. ESG is being used to affect credit scores of these firms. Lower scores, higher cost.

If higher carbon emissions, slave labor, and political contributions is what ESG is actually about, these are tainted assets.

At the most basic level, what I like to do is create a webhook response controller, the controller enqueues a job and immediately returns an HTTP 200.

The job is saved in my postgres database, using Oban (Elixir) so I have observability, accurate bug stacktraces are saved in the job record's error field, and I can see how many times the job has been attempted.

It's no joke! Take a DNA test and find out how much Neanderthal you've inherited.

23andMe says that I'm in the 80th percentile, with <2% Neanderthal DNA. Then it lists several silly traits that I may have inherited.

There is also a footnote about Denisovans, quasi-humans who also interbred, but on a very limited basis.

They're probably right. I mean, I have been known to draw on the walls of my apartment.
Cook isn't bound by that true enough, because he remains the majority stakeholder, but that is increasingly not the case as it becomes more and more regular that companies bring in new CEOs from entirely different companies if not entirely different industries, who do not own that much stake. In those cases, the board and shareholders can and do exert a lot of influence, up to and including firing them if they do not do their jobs correctly, which to shareholders is invariably some form of "make line go up."

And that's just civil influence, there are legal mechanisms indeed in place if a CEO "trashes a company" and what that means is different depending on the company.

I Hate Perfume: A Manifesto
> Then stop toppling governments.

Not necessarily. A total prohibition there would give free reign to tyrants to oppress their own people or even invade their insufficiently-allied neighbours without fear of consequence. The second world war is widely regarded as a just conflict (on the balance), even if it did topple the governments of the Axis powers.

However, my thinking above raises cost-estimation from a practical problem (can we afford the war?) to a moral one. An optimistic belief in a 'short victorious war' gives the intervenor at least partial culpability for the harms of state failure following insufficient occupation and reconstruction.
> No, not really. SLAs are calculated on a per customer basis and generally have a legal definition in contracts if they're actual, functioning SLAs.

And how can I as a customer calculate this? We're not going to sue each time there's a breach of SLA to get the real data. Whatever the status page says will trigger customers to decide if they should claim SLA credits. A lower number (delayed update of the status page) will skip payouts or reduce it.

> The status pages purpose is generally to head off a flood of customer reported issues. This is why you'll usually see issues that affect a broader subset of users on that page.

That's what you assume and that's what it's supposed to be. It's long been abused otherwise. Amazon for example will require explicit approval to update the page. They and others have famously delayed updating the status page as late as they can get away with often attempting to not even call an outage. It will say something like "increased error rates".
i won't speak on behalf of my company, but as someone who was on dating apps for a while until i found my current fiancee, I will say that a lot of it is a numbers game.

also, the company i work for is focused on more serious relationships. we are focusing heavily on reducing ghosting, lowering treating people like they're disposable, etc.

The closest I've seen to Tesla using more automation was just Musk spouting off random bullshit. Actual deep dives have shown that the automation tesla was trying to do isn't ready and they spent as long or longer fixing every car, often meaning they had lower output and more human involvement than competitors.
Not really in a position to say anything conclusively either but I don't think you are at the mercy of the community. First, it's open source, so your company can look and fix the code themselves. If it's restaurant software this is likely complicated but for gamedev it is much more likely the company already has the expertise to do that. Second, Godot doesn't have a formalized process but one of the developers can be willing to offer paid support.

> While we don't have a formal structure for offering commercial support, many Godot developers can already help you, work per hour, or relocate to your company. For such inquiries, contact support@godotengine.org. Let us know about your needs and we'll try to find the right person for you.

In Crete currently, just across the sea some 300km away. We had a brush of storm Daniel, just a week of high wind and occasional rain. Nothing like what poured down there.

There are probably hundreds of bodies swimming in the sea right now just south from me. Sad, crazy, and probably a glimpse of new normal, as usually the poorest are most hit.

Especially when dishonestly applied to so many people who had all their other shots and maybe some extras, but just weren't on board with this one brand new one.
That's the core of it: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Mistakes can happen without grift or delusion. A fighter pilot who spends an entire career training against fighter-sized opponents might honestly mistake a small nearby slow-moving drone for a fighter-sized distant fast-moving drone. A radar tech might see returns that fly away at unearthly speeds because that's how jamming works (create fake bait return, fly it away).

But repeated, insistent refusal to engage with obvious dull alternative hypotheses? Yeah, that's delusion / grift.
I am one of those, "I have no idea how I feel" types. Sadly I'm a bit apathetic. Perhaps there's life out there, perhaps each of these incidents has a rational, "it's a secret government project" explanation.

But, what I noticed about that whole exchange with congress, was how willing folks were to detail information in a SCIF and how that's where it ended.

Similarly with the NASA stuff, I'm hearing they were only willing to discuss public info and nothing that's classified. I'm not sure of the usefulness there.
I looked on your website, but I couldn't find any pricing for the product. It'd be really helpful if you added that info. I like to know the cost before I think about buying something.

That's exactly how you end up with O(N^4) code. Your job is to care.
It may be, but they did fix the problem. They're lucky it's just a fine instead of an all-out ban.

> If i understand you correctly; you are saying that K is specialized enough (my knowledge is only cursory here) that you can directly work with the data model easily rather than going through multiple layers of abstractions and hence linear code is normal.

Yes, it is often just easier to write the linear code than figure out if you can reuse anything because the space is small. I think a good 'feeling' for this is, if you need internet search/package managers/copilot etc for something or if you can just write working code sitting on a desert island, quite possibly on paper. For instance, for C, asm (arm/68k/z80/8080 and older intel), k and some others I can write working code like that for non-toy applications in specific domains. And, at least for me, those languages lend themselves very well for this linear programming. Incidentally, but not related, this is for me also the most enjoyable way of programming; I kind of really hate using libraries. That's also because we work in heavy regulatory areas where you cannot just add them; you have to inspect them and sign of on them and, of course, most of them are terrible...
I would have never thought in a million years iOS was considered a large gaming platform.
The important distinction isn't who owns copyright. It is rather that there needs to be a community opposed to the license change and able and willing to do the work.

One could even imagine scenarios like an originally MIT-licensed software splitting into a commercial company offering commercial paid licenses, plus a community (or even the company itself) offering a GPL-licensed fork. Of course one could then still maintain an additional MIT-licensed fork, but if the rest of the community is happy with GPL and all the development just happens there, your MIT fork will "starve"...
Not quite what i was trying to convey. Linear code actually has a lower burden on one's cognitive load and thus easier to comprehend. But of course it breaks down at certain sizes (variable) which is when it makes sense to partition it into smaller pieces and apply Abstraction etc.

I did Delphi dev for about 10 years. For me it was Delphi 5 that was the king (I did use every version prior to that too.. including version 1). Delphi 6 added CLX and that was weird and awkward. No where I was working wanted to go to Delphi 6+, and I left Delphi in about 2007 anyway, so all the Embarcadero years are a mystery to me. I worked for a company that had a relationship with Borland and I have early versions of Kylix (I think the first version I saw, the IDE barely worked) - and that sort of made some sense of CLX, but the upgrade path was way way too steep.

Would I ever go back to Delphi/Object Pascal? In a word - no.

This is a fascinating topic that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

The idea of trusting a single entity (the family computer expert, a single company, or a government agency) to be the sole host or custodian of important records and family photos/videos is fraught with risk: Even if that entity has redundancy across multiple geographic locations, they can have security breaches, their software can fail, their business can fail, or they can otherwise become incapacitated.

Security breach risk can be drastically reduced by encrypting your files before you even store them in that entity's system(s). But you'll need to protect that key and keep it in multiple locations that multiple people have access to. And it's going to make certain functions (like search indexing or file format conversions, to battle file format obsolescence) a lot more complicated.

Data loss risk due to failing hardware, software, companies, or people, can be greatly reduced by copying your stuff to multiple storage providers who ultimately rely on physically different data centers (e.g. if company A and B both ultimately use S3, Amazon is now my single point of failure), and taking an "append-only" approach.

But who is going to spend the time to pre-encrypt and sync all of your family's records like that? Possibly the family computer expert, who you can't depend on long-term.

If you're lucky, you have one who will do all of that for now, and maybe give everybody in the family a copy on a durable USB drive or similar* every few years. Or maybe you can pay someone to do the same. I'd pay for it, because it's a lot of work I don't want to do.

* For longer-term archival storage that should last several decades without power, M-Disc (DVDs or Blu-ray discs) used to be a go-to option. But that depends on people having access to a Blu-ray player decades from now, which I suspect will be a lot like the process of getting access to a floppy drive today.
I think many teachers are pretty great. Yet some teachers are failing our children, and we need to be able to fire them. For me, the issue is totally about public sector unions. Public schools have a government granted monopoly on education. Who is on the other side of the bargaining table with the union representatives? It's parents, or the representatives that they voted for. Yet unions themselves are political, and they lobby those representatives. Teachers, and their friends and family are voting too. The bargaining power of parents becomes diluted. This is how teacher's unions become so strong that schools can no longer give children the quality of education they otherwise would get. Check out "Waiting for Superman" for a concrete example of how this is playing out in LA and NYC.

Roswell isn't known to be anything to the general public. The public has a similar fog-of-war on Roswell as it has on the modern unidentified aerial phenomena. Therefore stigmatizing one group unfortunately stigmatizes the other group as well.
My main problem with delphi: it is "too proprietary". It was a very productive IDE in the 90's or early 2000's but lost their path and never recovered.

Some new versions broke compatibility with previous version's components. There was the case where you paid a good amount of money on some proprietary components and they simply wouldn't work in the next version: you were imprisoned in an obsolete IDE. By not being multi-platform (I heard it improved lately) you could only use it with/for win32 so it lost servers, embedded, cloud and mobile. By not being open-source nobody could improve it.

Then it had to compete with "native tools". Whoever develops for windows wouldn't quit ms' tools to use it, whoever develops for mac wouldn't quit apple's tools to use it, whoever develops for android wouldn't quit google's tools to use it, whoever develops for linux was mostly ignored after kylix.

Note that I didn't even mentioned price and license.

They improved it later, I heard. But seems more like the old case of too little too late. Most successful programming languages today are open source and multi-platform. Delphi was dependent on win32 for too long and it still is "too proprietary". You do the world a favor by porting your project to lazarus.
right out of the gate: why not use the terms "sender" and "receiver" instead of "client" and "origin"?

the author uses "client" to refer to the application sending the webhook, and "origin" to refer to the application receiving the webhook. this is all backwards to me.

I often say that naming things is hard, but it isn't so hard that this needs be the result.
They can't rule out the effect, but it might still just be placebo and/or unrelated to breathing (or it might be a statistical fluke).
