I’m not sure what your feature request exactly is but I guess it’s one of the following:

- Access to all contacts

- Access to selected contacts

Additionally, for any of the two options above:

- Access to all details

- Access to selected details (e.g. phone, email)

Lastly:

- Access to all labels

- Access to selected labels (e.g. home, work)

So, finally, all Germans will be able to sleep at night knowing that they gave WhatsApp only permission to access their friends’ non-work phone numbers and nothing else.

I used Argo for some e2e test suites I wrote and it was a god send. Being able to trigger off of GitHub labels was so insanely powerful for building developer tooling.
I've watched "Robot Jox" countless times for its MST3K/RiffTrax vibe; I always really enjoyed the general world and the mech designs and now I know why. It's amazing to see it nestled between these sci-fi touchstones. I'd highly recommend watching it once if you're ok with (or love!) "bad" movies.

Maybe. I think it's more complicated than that. And there were leaflets dropped to warn about the fire bombings. There might've been leaflets for the atomic bombings too.

https://time.com/4142857/wwii-leaflets-japan/
https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/key-documents/warning-leaf...

The fire bombing of Tokyo, which was the deadliest of the entire war (including Europe) and happened in March, didn't convince the Japanese government to give up. The Atomic bombs dropped in August and there was plenty of bombing in between.

I think most historians agree it was really the Soviet Union entering the war which finally created a good enough consensus for Japan to surrender. Even then there were plenty that wanted to keep going.

Even in hindsight it's very hard to say what the right answer was, which is why it's still debated even today. Probably there was no right answer.
There have been huge changes in CPU/GPU performance and RAM- how does that not indicate a meaningful hardware change?

Altering the deal is SOP where law permits it. Read any privacy policy or user "agreement" and note that they all have "Darth Vader" clauses where they get to alter the deal when ever it suits them. It's even your job to spam refresh on the page and use a diff tool to figure out what changed.

The difference is that these customers potentially can defend themselves with lawsuits and switching to a competitor.
Side note: Twitter used to be great for "is it just me?" on this sort of stuff, but their search no longer shows very good "latest" results for search queries. Quite the bummer, it was always comforting to see confirmation.
That is an interesting behind-the-doors kind of theory, that settlers were just being sent out as fodder in the name of conquest. I'm cynical, but I'm about an order of magnitude less cynical than that. I don't deny there was probably some moustache twirling somewhere, but most of the participants in enabling early homesteaders - the settlers, surveyors, assessors, state and federal officials - were just trying to help people pursuit happiness in their own flawed way.

It seems to me that the really wicked smart people understood long ago that AI research is very dangerous and that founding a new company along the lines of OpenAI would increase the danger: yes, it would provide significant benefits to humanity, but then it would wipe out the human species, either directly or by helping another AI lab to do so.

I'm praying that the reckless actions of people like Altman do not kill me and everyone I care about.

Everyone knows someone who is wicked smart and very ambitious, but has a blind spot such that they cannot apply their intelligence to perceive correctly a situation in which they must lose status (i.e., admit that founding OpenAI was a mistake and shut it down) for the sake of the greater good. Maybe Altman is one of those.

Also, when in human history have the people who've been most successful in scrambling to the top of some sector of the economy been the ones who successfully recognized when that sector has become destructive? When the commercial excesses of America during the Gilded Age needed to be reined in, was it some industrial magnate like Carnegie or Rockefeller who sounded the alarm and led society's corrective action against the excesses? Was it the CEOs and leading scientists of the fossil-fuel companies that led the charge against global warming?
>unless one of the key players implodes domestically.

If you listen to Zeihan, you'd be convinced china is on the verge of implosion due to it's demographic crash. I think he's a bit too deterministic, but it does lend credence to the 'now or never' idea that china is, in fact, serious about invading Taiwan by 2030 as things only get worse for them from there...

I specifically did not say "UTC" at all. Read my actual comment.

"Unix time is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time by the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch, without adjustments made due to leap seconds."

Unix time does not include leap seconds or other adjustments.

I designed our landing page - and I definitely took heavy inspiration from Linear. As an engineer, creating novel beautiful design's isn't first-nature to me, but I know how critical it can be to make a clean/impactful landing page so I try to take some elements from the best.

Some other landing pages I loved and had along side while designing ours were Vercel, Resend, and WorkOS :)
The mission of the USDA is not the health of the populace, it's to promote the products of the agriculture and food industries.
It's so insane it wasn't a feature from the beginning, it's as if Apple didn't know people might live together and share things.
> this seems like such a cop out. its like saying "oh failure is a given, so don't even try to succeed".

It is a pragmatic cop-out yes. I found it is easier to make progress by assuming that you'll get to Turing Complete rather than investing in the time to avoid it. I found that the downsides of Turing Completeness are usually overhyped or primarily theoretical.

> so just because Rust (and others) failed, doesn't mean its impossible.

It definitely is not impossible. But I don't know if it is worth it.

In the end I want fast compile times, type safety, easy to maintain code and good error messages. I do not care if the type system is Turing Complete.
Nope. You've proven that it's morally indefensible in at least one case. You've got a lot more proving to do before "all cases" is a valid conclusion.

Couldn’t this be mitigated against by using something like codeowners and only allowing access to manage versioning files?
> It doesn’t seem that terrible to prohibit this (Probably some very good reason to counter this though!)

The simple reason is that the whole point of editions is that you absolutely do not have to worry about which one you choose. They are entirely localized to your crate, and code written in any edition can interact with code written in any other edition. With your suggestion, updating the edition used by a library crate would suddenly make it unusable for all code using an older edition.
It's over-engineered, but I wanted to try running k8s in my homelab to continue learning about networking; deploying a blog seemed like a perfect test case. The cluster uses Traefik, https://github.com/travisghansen/kubernetes-pfsense-controll... to sync service definitions to HAProxy, and MetalLB. The k8s service IPs are routable from my local network, as well as the MetalLB IPs, and MetalLB handles syncing them to pfSense using BGP. pfSense sends DNS for any *.k8s.home.arpa to k8s, so I can resolve e.g. blog.default.svc.k8s.home.arpa on my local network.

One interesting hiccup: I had to introduce a NAT at pfSense because MacBooks don't listen to ICMP redirects, the packet would go laptop -> router -> k8s and then k8s -> laptop. Since the MacBook ignored the ICMP redirect, it drops the reply packet.
No, the pump works perfectly fine without an app. At least one pump out there doesn't (the Omnipod), but in lieu of a smart phone, they give you a device (essentially a single-purpose Android)

The ability to bolus (administer insulin) from the app is fairly convenient, that's all. Since that's the biggest area of risk, that's the feature they disable until they've validated the OS version.
Nope. I’m pretty sure it’s an Apple Music/podcasts server side bug, as I’ve had it happen across numerous iOS/ipados updates and devices including Sonos and Bluetooth. It’s so annoying and sounds like it’s barely skipping a beat but it’s noticeable frequently for me.
It’s so inefficiently designed. Wasted space on oversized album artwork or (even worse) generic playlist covers. High friction to resume listening/browse by recency. Lazy loading everywhere, slow load times. Cluttered menu drawers.

The only thing it has going for it is general ecosystem integration (and lossless), which still is the deciding factor for me unfortunately, despite the qualms above.
It's weirder because the Apple Watch has been able to do it for a while now. I use it all the time.
Apple does however continue to provide security updates, they released a security update for ios 15 earlier this year. As an iphone 8 user this is perfectly fine for me. My phone works great and none of this new stuff is something I can't live without.
If you're getting the "fried chili in oil" product, you could look out for the "chili oil with black bean" product they make.

Another option is Fly By Jing's original "sichuan chili crisp" which has a different flavour profile than LGM but is very forward with the douchi / black beans / black soybeans.
What's really baffling is that iOS hides older notifications after some amount of time, or screen unlockings, or something. I like to leave notifications around so I can remember to handle them later when I unlock my phone ("oh yeah, I need to read/respond to that email"). Instead iOS just removes them from my lock screen so I don't see them when unlocking and I forget they exist. They're still there--you can swipe up from the bottom to bring back your hidden notifications--but that requires you to remember they're there, which is the whole reason I didn't dismiss them in the first place.

iOS's notification system is shockingly bad. Android is leagues ahead here, both in features & configurability.
And the A-10 was built before the MANPAD threat become serious. Sneak in at treetop level against gunners in turrets and you very well might be able to get in and get out in reasonable safety. Now, you'll be getting out with a missile (or maybe even more--the response will not be coordinated, those who have a launcher and a shot will take it) on your tail--it can't be evaded, you have to decoy it or blind it.

If I remember correctly, that happens because when on calorific deficit, by default people reduce their activity - this is the instinctual response. Body responds by losing muscular mass as energetically it is costlier to maintain than fat. This is why it is important to maintain or even increase the activity while losing weight.
I assume the eventual outcome will be more like PK Dick's The Second Variety, or maybe the Nier: Automata games
FWIW that's 5 years of feature updates.

They still do security fixes for iOS 15 which is the iphone 6S in 2015 so 8 years.

The last security update for iOS 12 was 7 months ago too.

IMO that's a generous period for security updates.

Their usefulness is honestly more limited by app developer's support of the old api's, and the increasing bloat of web apps rather than Apple's support. It would be better of course if we could homebrew on them after that but I'm not sure I'd call it pitiful.

The longterm success number for those that lose significant weight and keep it off for many years, are abysmal.
Not really a sales pitch as it wasn't discovered by their product but rather by their security team doing a bunch of manual work.
Those people could also lift weights and eat less. Ozempic works because it makes people feel full and stop eating, to lose weight without Ozempic.

eat less and move more.
NixOS is in some ways the best distro for NVIDIA, because it just holds your upgrade back if there's a compatibility problem between the NVIDIA proprietary driver and the kernel, instead of breaking your system or installing a non-usable kernel alongside your working ones.
Turning it on would be very hard after a crash. Plus if you eject and you turn it on, the "other" people could trace it too. AFAIK, the purpose of F-35s are to be used in hostile areas, not only training.

Also, ever hear of cracking" ? You think hackers in China could not crack that tracker given enough time ? Stealth usually means "unable to track" in case you are wondering :)
Citation needed. We have a lot of homegrown poverty here.
While I'm not sure about the connection between weight lifting and bone density, I do know that inactivity is a major cause of injury and lost physical fitness. A person who is obese is getting that exercise just by existing. Every time they stand up, lift an arm, bend over, or walk across the room, they are engaging in more exercise than a low body weight person does in the gym. Once that weight is gone, they will need to increase activity levels.
In my company, we tested FDB for two years, then we wrote a new backend for Warp 10 timeseries database... Performances are really impressive, we dropped HBase backend when we released Warp 10 3.0.
Note we can isolate customers easily on the same FDB cluster (tenants are not explained anywhere on internet, it is a quite recent FDB feature).

Sure, it's hard to predict if Tesla hadn't been formed whether electric cars would be as big as they are now (perhaps another innovator would've jumped in).

I'd agree that he's failed to deliver on the FSD so far, but I mean, it'll be such a shift (when either Tesla or some other group nail it which like I said I think is the most likely) that when we look back on it in 100 years we're not going to care how far their time estimates were out by.
In some locales, you want to do all of your internet use over one unlimited or high usage internet plan and handle SMS/calls over another carrier or plan. This is appealing for business users and regular people alike in some places that have high tariffs, highly asymmetrical usage limits, or other uneven plan limits that don't align with how you use your mobile device.

For example, I once had a lot of automated alerts sent by SMS to my phone for the early rollout of an IoT device I was working on. My regular unlimited voice and data plan was very cheap but only included a couple hundred SMS per month and I was going to blow past that during alpha testing, so I got a SIM from an MVNO with unlimited messaging for ~$5/mo and sent all the alerts to that number and had the company pay that bill, which was a nice way of isolating the expense as well.

It's also great if you are an international jewel thief and need a second line for taunting the Interpol agents hot on your trail without having to add them to your friends & family plan.
In effect this answers my question pretty well, the answer seems to be a resounding "No there's no memory safety" at least in the practical or realistic sense that results in few to no memory lifetime errors.

PNG does support layers. Yes. I remember using it in Macromedia Fireworks which had a native format PNG which functioned like Photoshop's PSD and saved layers and its styles and stuff.
Security through obscurity helps only until someone gets curious/determined.

Absolutely. It just weeds out the skiddies and tools like MetaSploit unless they have added mainframe support. I have not kept up with their libraries

The federal agencies I was liaison to knew all the commands better than I did and even taught me a few that were not in my documentation which led to a discussion with the mainframe developers.
It totally does. And it's an interesting argument when things like Terraform exist.

Thankfully, older devices (like my iPhone 8) continue to receive security updates, which suits me just fine as none of the new features interest me.
I think it's interesting to contrast to vision/light: similarly, there is a physical effect which we can perceive "from a distance". But vision varies wildly even among animals, and there are plenty of wavelengths of light that we can't perceive. I enjoyed a brief discussion of this in Andy Weir's The Martian (no spoilers here).
This is not even close to true.

ATC radar regularly loses small planes on 'primary' radar (primary radar being pure radar), and has to rely on the transponder. There are many areas where you simply don't have primary coverage, especially close to the ground. I've flown through military controlled airspace where they lose radar contact with me in a Cessna less than 10 miles from the base.
I grew up in a household that would qualify. I know exactly how I feel about it having experienced it as a child.

The fact that the calculator has a $#!"@ hamburger menu to switch between Programmer and "can do floating point numbers" mode is one of those asinine UX decisions that makes me fear any app update - "Oh hey, they're adding a neat feature, let's see how they mess up UX on it" is my default reaction nowadays.

And yes, Notepad and Calculator take much longer to start now than they ever did - not sure if it's SmartScreen, a Store Update check, or if SEND_DIAGNOSTICS is enabled on production builds, but I bet it's some Program Manager making some idiotic decision because some useless KPI requires it.

In conjunction, I would love the ability to have a flag that tells anyone that adds me to their Contacts in iOS to not give my info to any apps. Basically, take me off the share list.

This is why I always attempt to turn off as much version information output as possible from any service. Make the pentester do their homework and not just look at "Apache 2.XX"

Most lyric sites were ultimately supplanted by Genius, which does allow users to annotate lyrics and explain what is meant. Originally Genius was focused on hip-hop and its often arcane lyrics, but it has long since expanded to every popular-music genre. And before Genius there was songmeanings.com, which contains a great deal of commentary on rock and pop which has still not found its way to Genius.

With regard to music scholarship dealing with popular music genres, there are popular book series like 33-1/3, scholarly monograph series like Ashgate’s Popular and Folk Music Series and Bloomsbury’s Ex:Centrics, and articles in the various musicological journals. Obviously the more erudite the artist, the more likely he/she will draw attention from scholars (which is why David Bowie and Kate Bush, for example, have been researched more than most pop musicians). But still, there may be more out there on your own favourite artists than you think.
