Assignment: Consider Agilent, itself a spinoff from HP, also spun off four (I think) companies, because they were good businesses but distracted the management.

Is this the right strategy? I'm tempted to say Yes.
I appreciate that you can cancel the subscription right away at the start of the trial and Apple and the vendor isn't notified.
There's also a button in the bottom-right that people seem to always miss. They should put it up top.
Also those craft might not be built to be "co-operative" when this kind of intervention is made...
This was talked about by Phillip Shoemaker (head of App Store Review 2009-2016) in this talk[0], where some developers figured out that if they hired marketing firms to commit review fraud on a competitor’s app, their competitor would get terminated because there’s no clear way to actually attribute the fraud to the developer.

I guess the App Store fraud prevention team hasn’t necessarily found a good solution yet.

It's a fair question. I originally assumed that the White House might have much older plumbing, but it was completely gutted and renovated about 10 years before LBJ took office, and I have to imagine the plumbing was designed to commercial standards, if not better.[1]

The description of LBJ in the article makes him sound like a narcissist, or at least a manipulative person, and a common technique is for the manipulative person to claim that they've personally witnessed (or in this case, own) something superior to what they've asked someone else to create. He probably really did have a very fancy shower head arrangement in his home, but I doubt very much that it had the kind of pressure and temperature he insisted on for the White House. He probably just wanted something even more extreme, and his approach worked.

tl;dr For urban homes, A PV system or community wind farm participation is more practical.
Where it is that you see "magic"? QML is a markup language (just like HTML is for web) which can have inline code in it (JavaScript). These QML files are quite literally embedded into the binary, loaded in-memory at runtime, and processed by a rendering and execution engine. Quite similar to how a web browser would render HTML and execute JS code. In fact, the latter in QML originally was done by V8 itself!

The extra feature of the QML engine wrt. a web browser is to provide callbacks and hooks, doing what I guess we could call FFI, allowing for events and function calls to travel between C++ and JS. Complex, but not much sort of magic in there.

As far as I understand, we would draw a parallel between QML and what Tauri does. It just embeds a whole interpreter into your program, in order to be able to draw the markup and run the scripting.

> If even tech people (who could easily have multiple browsers around) prefer Chrome over Firefox

very many of us don't.
> But this would really make me look for alternatives,

A stronger response would be -- a year or more ago -- techies switching to Firefox as a symbolic movement.

And when we have more techies using Firefox, that means various kinds of network effects that end up improving its adoption.
> it’s also a fairly strong contender as a programming language in the paradigm of many pipelined imperative processes—probably because that paradigm remains largely unexplored.

The paradigm is called point-free programming[1], right? I don't know how "imperative" is relevant here--you can rewrite most of the coreutils in Haskell, for example.

Sometimes it’s not “out of convenience” but “we only have the resources to test on one browser and most people use chrome” - so we must cater to that even if chrome is far down the road to enshittification.
in wake of the EU ruling that youtube isn't allowed to block adblockers, i can understand this move.

imo the eu needs to stay out of this. its a competition between people trying to block ads and trying to force you to see them, which i see nothing wrong with.
Reviews, discovery queues, search, crowdsourced tagging, minitrailers, events, splash ads, wishlist, an entire overlay to support controller configuration (and any controller) for any videogame that's accessed through steam (even non-steam games). Discussions, mods, leaderboards, market. I suspect I can continue.
You could argue some of this features are not necessary "storefront", but the line is blurry. The point is when I want to discover new games, I go to Steam.

I'm not sure what else I could ask for as a storefront.
Same here! In my youth I was a dyed-in-the-wool music snob, Grooveshark changed that forever by introducing me to a whole new universe of music
As you say, commits link to their parent(s), and those links effectively represent the edges of the commit graph. It makes perfectly sense to record moves on those edges. That’s how other VCSs do it. There is no conflict with the commit model.

Viewing the commit graph in terms of nodes (commits) or edges (diffs) is equivalent, these are dual views you can easily convert between. The internal representation is independent from that. Some VCSs use a mix of diffs and full revisions internally. Even Git uses delta compression when packing objects.

> Noo-ot really except in a Turing-tarpit sort of way.

That means bash has applications (e.g., batch processing and file management) that JS can't be (easily) used for. And they never said bash is bad at them. That...proves my point?
Good to see QML being more ready for desktop use cases than what I remember...
Out of curiosity, what component library did you use with QML?
I'm currently building something in Go that should eventually work with Qt as one of the underlying drivers if that's possible.

I'm a bit afraid of the FFI costs but I will look into the nitty gritty later.

There is always possibilities for the electron/tauri/wails route if all else fails.
Devs can't, only Apple can. But they're punishing developers for fraudulent reviews anyways.
War makes life worst. People like a good life so they should fight for peace. I guess war is good for life.
"Firefox/Chrome duopoly"? You're forgetting Safari; they have larger market share than Firefox.
I like Firefox a lot (with Privacy Badger and uBlock) but sometimes the browser slows to a crawl. New tabs are slow to open, takes way too long to select and activate a text input field, and so on. A restart fixes this, but it's still annoying.

I think I might go back to Safari. I like the way it looks and it feels snappier all the way around.
I broke my elbow tip as well on a skateboard but figured it would sort itself out like i do with all injuries.

A decade later I can’t do an elbow plank without some pain usually and I can’t put a lot of weight on that part of my elbow. My favorite laptop position is on my belly on the floor so it sometimes hurts too much to do that.

I don’t know if surgery would have helped but it’s annoying sometimes.
Russian guy saying that he is in Chile in the first sentence? Absolutely nothing suspicious.

It is even a Russian company. It was registered a bit before the war started and liquidated not so long ago.
And possibly great for Brave. Brave has the same feel as chromium.
The jokes you mentioned just aren’t funny anymore. They were at one point when they were new. Of course you wouldn’t understand why they were funny in the first place though, as most comedians (after the 1950s I guess) said them because they were ironic, not because they literally though women belong in a kitchen. It’s making fun of stereotypes, but you wouldn’t understand that.

Just a short feedback. There’s a need to make groups of notes, now they seem to be scattered
It's pretty embarrassing for Apple because it's a pretty common thing for Apple to close random developer accounts with pretty respectable applications. At least, Google is a little bit more transparent from my experience, I could easily publish my application there, but on Apple, you have to go through tons of mental gymnastics and their cerficates are $100/year compared to one $20 certificate from Google.
Wouldn’t get inside the clothing (gowns, scrubs, etc). The benefit of gamma is you can throw it all in the target area and ensure somewhat uniform exposure (similar to food/ag irradiation).

Regardless, the outcome is going to be shorter lifetime of these medical resources due to decay rate from the more aggressive treatment cycle.
Merge Incidents allows incident responders to connect incidents spread across services under a parent incident. This prevents duplication of efforts while responders can work on isolating the root cause.
If any amount of money was meaningless to apple, they wouldn't be where they are today.

If you’ve ever been in the App Store for any length of time you’ll see how lazily retributive Apple is.

It's more like working in a world where there are rewards and risks.

There is a good argument that the world as a whole would be better off without the current App Store model, but it makes sense for individuals to aim to profit from the existing model.
Considering the behavior of people around me I wonder why we still waste time talking about it.
In my opinion there are only 2 possibilities:
- an authoritarian government spread globally and put in place consumption/production restrictions to all humans. Of course, that's basically impossible and saying it would be unpopular is an understatement. As it is, the rich countries are barely reducing and that's with delocalizing a good amount of the larger emitters like manufacturing. Now go tell 3rd world countries they still stay poor because if they try to achieve western lifestyle, we will all burn. Good luck.
- many catastrophic failures occur and enforce an emission reduction but mostly because many humans die and the rest feel content with what they have now.

Outside of that it's not even worth discussing. I see everyday people with enough money to not have to work or do any kind of consuming activity burn more petrol in a week than some do in their lifetime. There is just no way out of that. The rich are the ones who should be responsible yet they are the least likely to comply, so it doesn't matter...
The author talks about people who learn it as a second language. Not third or tenth.
There's an evangelist effect - Apple benefited from it a lot way back when (less so now). Where techies lead, others tend to follow. That 2-5% might be the first few pebbles in the avalanche.
My experience is that for ever one event we hear about or makes the news there are 10-100x that suffer in silence and never get heard.
Why? Well, I'm considering using a LLM API to generate per-user custom code at runtime -- like a query builder that accepts plain English. The application involves filtering a data stream by the user's custom criteria.

I'm not yet committed to this because I know that many (most?) people cannot express their intentions in plain English concisely and precisely enough to be implemented as an algorithm. As my first formal instructor of programming taught me, a lot of programming just that: thinking through what one wants, with sufficient rigor. Support for such a feature could be a nightmare, making it more trouble than it is worth. However, I may offer it as an experiment. It might work well enough to, say, draft Google Sheets formulas that power users could tweak.
What are you compiling? I've "cargo install"-ed - which means deps had to be built too - two rust tools today on a 4c/8t laptop and they were done in maybe two minutes each. Building AUR packages of some C tools isn't much faster in comparison.
Kids will be taught in history class and wonder how all of this was allowed, and I don't ever think we'll have an answer for them. It's all so shameful

If this was one guy doing it on his own, that he has been able to keep his mouth shut all these years would be impressive on its own but there's at least a second person involved, and she's kept quiet too. Sure, one or both might be dead by now, but anytime you have multiple people involved with a secret, the odds of it leaking increase in a non-linear manner. But maybe Blipverts got them soon after the broadcast. As an aside, really getting Blipvert vibes from Tiktok (sounds like Zikzak) and some of YouTube's ultra short ads.

I thought prions were immune to fire as well, as in Creutzfeldt–Jakob infected cows must not be burned, as the particulates can infect the feed on adjacent and nearby farms.
the problem with being a generalist is that no one believes you can do everything.

As a kid in my father's workshop we had several 4mm thick titanium plates, scavenged from some industrial stuff in USSR research facility nearby. I had a lot of fun getting my visiting friends tey to dent it with hammers. No matter how hard you struck it just didn't care. Only the oxidation patina would show some trace of impact. It was absolute magic to me. And so incredibly light!
Calling it a vaccine (like COVID vaccine) is a problem IMO

Non-immunizing treatments should not be called vaccines, the annual flu shot should not be considered a vaccine, nor should the mRNA COVID "vaccine", for which they had to change the very definition of what a vaccine is to even include it for legal purposes.

For the flu shot it is a crap shot, as there are soo many flu variants annually they make a best guess as to which one(s) will likely because prominent based on trends and package them up, often they are correct sometimes they are not...

For more traditional vaccines like Polio and other long term immunizing vaccines society ends up suffering because of the inclusion of these short term annual or less treatments and over all is a net negative

As to " politically weaponized by AI and social media algorithms" it was more than AI and Social media that made these things political, it was the political branches of government that made it so by mandates and rhetoric that pitted people against each other. Attempting to exile people that even questioned their government masters... That is what made it political.
Formating is better, buuuuuuut

Its not really documentation so much as a marketing packet.I didnt see anything about setup, usage, configuration, troubleshooting, anything that would lead to me being able to use, or even investigate for use. Theres all words about how its better than Z or how it could be used to do Y, but there was nothing for how i get it, how to configure it, or anything at the level of implementation/evaluation.

I understand youre trying, but think about the target audience. You need to have 2 different levels here. The CEO/Sales guy, and the Developer/Integrator. What you have now, is the first part. I couldnt see the actual product in order to evaluate it, and without that, its a bunch of words on a page about encryption that could change the world, without the "proof" so to speak.

Based on the demo alone, theres some interesting features, but again, without the Developer/Integrator docs, theres a lot unanswered.

Is this going to be supported on all OSes?

Do you intend to allow for cli/pragmatic processes?

How do you intend on handling sharing of encrypted data between team members?

What happens when i lose my physical key?

Does this consume an entire disk device, can partitions be used? What about virtual filesystems?

Has this been put through a security evaluation? Wheres the stats?

I feel like you’re talking to yourself. By all means tell us what free jazz is, and whether anything recent has bettered it for quality or freeness compared to jazz of the 20th century. And do take a trip to London one day if you need to understand what diversity looks like in a world metropolis before lecturing.

I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that the fear is justified, not every broken bone is “simple” and while most fractures are nonoperative some do require surgical fixation.

Pain reduction isn’t the main reason to operate or the metric of interest, there are many ways to alleviate acute pain including casting.

Functional impairment (immediate and delayed) and reducing the risks of posttraumatic arthritis are far more important.

Joint infections (and pseudomonas in general) are an absolute nightmare as the joint space is not vascular.

Bone infections/osteomyelitis are much rarer and for the most part less catastrophic (although they certainly still can be).

As always patient autonomy is paramount and we all value risks differently. For myself as a young healthy adult (not an orthopaedic surgeon) I would rather accept the minimal risks of surgical reduction and fixation for a fracture needing one than risk needing complex reconstruction or joint replacement in 10-20 years which has much higher complication rates and longer recovery.
> Torvalds answered that, while he used to find problems in the LLVM Clang compiler, now he's more likely to find problems with GCC instead; he now builds with Clang.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues is our bug tracker for known issues (a few are tracked in llvm's issue tracker). Bug reporters and future kernel hackers wanted!

As I mentioned on mastodon, there's lots of bugs still to be fixed everywhere, but even if we don't fix them, providing competition in the toolchain space has been worth it to users.
Many variations of the full genome are available online, and current technology makes it feasible to synthesize de novo.

Chile has been a popular destination for Russians to escape the war because it's easy to get a visa and a permanent residency via business immigration.

Have you tried Sydney at the time?

I don't believe that's the case. It's just the style of answers and conversation that is radically different. If you see GPT4 paper, you can see that the change was likely made because of RLHF to make GPT4 "safer".
In recent decades, infection from vaccines based on the live virus, instead of the killed virus, has been a primary source of outbreaks. The usual mechanism: Someone who was never vaccinated changes the diaper of a child who has gotten the live vaccine, gets exposed, gets sick.

Many years ago on Sixty Minutes, an elderly man who changed the diaper for his grandchild caught it and diagnosis and treatment was delayed because the doctor literally said something like "Decades ago, I would say this was polio. You have all the symptoms." and didn't consider that was possible because "we've eradicated it."

Couldn’t tell you about inpatient hospital use. Outside of hospital, it’s covered by the public drug plan in Ontario if you’ve failed (or have allergies to) vancomycin treatment.

Metronidazole is still first line under that program for “mild” cases, otherwise it’s vanco. But nobody is really checking, so it comes down to how your doctor wants to document it.

Private drug coverage will vary in their rules.
The value of a creation cannot be solely judged by its output. It's hard to explain, it's better to intuit it.

How much longer does `rustc` typically take to compile the same programming tasks compared to `gcc`? Is it just "a bit" e.g. 50% slower or by an order of magnitude?
When my wife was on chemo my hands suffered so much, due to all of the washing i did between interacting with her; to prevent this sort of thing. As another anecdote about how little of a joke chemo is, half of my hair fell out, just from being near her.

While Dbrand definitely seems keen to pull some stunts, the difference between this versus that is that at least in that case, Dbrand still had to put in the work to replicate the PlayStation 5 faceplates. It's not as though Dbrand owns the inside of a phone: had Casetify done the work and simply created a similar product to Dbrand, this wouldn't be a lawsuit. It's because they stole the end product from Dbrand, which would be more like if Dbrand stole Sony's design files to make the faceplates. Whether what they were trying to pull with the PS5 was actually legal or not is another question, but also, in my opinion it certainly wasn't a dirty theft either way.
While we’re on Mead.

Shes famously attributed with saying:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

But it’s never been able to be sourced and it can’t be found in any of her writings. Her family however continues to claim it as something she said.

Anyone here that can shed more light on if she said this or not?
