Is there anything where someone has taken the effort to measure quantitatively how contrasting the colours are now compared to how they were before? It feels to me like people will be biased towards what they are used to, regardless of which is better. I don’t have good pictures of the maps before but just comparing to Apple Maps by eye:

- at high zooms, AM public transport has lower contrast between roads and the rest than GM which is lower contrast than other AM views

- zoomed out a bit and the contrast is similar. AM shows fewer small streets but more main streets are shown thicker than in GM. AM shows more of certain POIs like stations or landmarks

- zoomed out a bit more and GM shows major roads with higher contrast than AM which doesn’t pick them out so much but shows side streets with hairlines. The green is greener in AM.

- public transport view at this level is so much better in AM. It’s less cluttered (lines are thinner, when trains run along the same route the lines are rendered right next to each other where GM has an ugly amount of space. Both views are omitting useful information at this zoom level (eg stations and interchanges aren’t all marked; it’s reasonable not to name them but AM used to be better I think). AM does a better job of mimicking signage/designs you see on the network (eg if the letter for a line is a coloured circle on a certain background)

- zoomed out a lot and it’s a bit hard for me to describe the difference. AM seems to have a bit more contrast of roads against backgrounds. Roads are grey in both (I vaguely recall AM used to mimic road atlases). AM shows a greater variation of road thicknesses/darkness for more major roads. AM labels roads closer to how they appear on road signs and shows more road labels in ‘driving’ view

- zooming out further and major roads fade to thin blue lines in AM and grey-blue on grey-green in GM. There is more variation in roughness (different terrain) for the green parts in AM.
Time was when Google and Facebook both used XMPP (I think with official cross network support in their apps?). I also recall MSN Messenger being able to talk to Yahoo Messenger, though I'm not sure if they used XMPP for that.
True, but this is literally the only mention of the words "UX", "UI" or "design" in the FAQ/docs; meanwhile they write at length about the various technical challenges and choices. This is inconsistent with their own tagline.
I think you just do get it that it has nothing to do with security.
I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying in that second paragraph. Can you expand a little bit? There is no “legislation” involved here at all. These are treaties. If there’s no treaty agreement, there’s no right period (setting aside customary international humanitarian law, which I think is obviously safe to do here, because, like, none of the elements required for something to be recognized as customary are present here).
I’m not the GP but have been building websites off and on since the 1994.

Back in the 90s it was hacky, but the extent of those hacks were small enough that even hobbyists could memorise those edge cases. Whereas these days there are so many footguns and edge cases that even seasoned professionals find it impossible to memorise everything. The amount of trial and error it takes to build a modern site is immense. With native applications it is a lot easier to write unit tests to catch this stuff but how do you unit a CSS property alignment across 3 browser engines? The answer is almost always to hire QA experts because setting up automated tests has become so complicated and burdensome that it’s now a profession in its own right.

It doesn’t help that “web” is really a plethora of different technologies: CSS, HTML, JS, HTTP, TLS, and image libraries like SVG, JPEG, PNG and GIF. And a few of those have entire subcategories of crap to wade through, like cross site origin headers, subtle incompatibilities in ECMAScript, support of different web extensions, different HTTP protocols, CSS incompatibilities, differing viewport sizes, TLS ciphers, etc.

And that’s just user facing code. What about backend? SQL or No-SQL? Table indexes, web server solutions, load balancing, caching, CDNs, backend server side code, how you cluster your web services, where you host it…etc.

Then you have to secure the damn thing because it’s open to the public.

And all this just to produce interactive documents!!

But the worst thing of all is once you’ve finally wrapped your beard around everything, it’s all out of date again because the latest batch of 20-somethings got so fed up learning this shit as well, that they’ve just gone and rewritten half of the stack from scratch again.

It’s all massively over engineered because we keep on trying to polish this turd rather than accepting we have outgrown the web spec and need something more tailored.

And it’s only getting worse. With more and more software switching to Electron and a growing trend of native applications embracing WASM for portable modules, we keep doubling down on this turd — acting like if we spend enough time polishing it then one day it might turn to gold.

So as someone who’s multi-disciplined, I too find web development the least satisfying of all the software development domains I’ve worked on. It’s down right frustrating at times.
This is for OpenID Connect, which is still widely used almost everywhere. OpenID (not Connect), was its precursor and never really widely adopted.
The Bias Blind Spot
She runs a podcast called “Nobody Panic”. The blurb for it says “Your guidebook to being a fully functioning adult without screaming all the time. Each week, Stevie Martin and Tessa Coates tackle life's big, small, fun and sometimes scary questions with the help of experts and special guests because we're all in this together, guys.”

So yeah, why would she have any motivation?

She’s not necessarily lying but she’s definitely an accomplished story teller who knows how to use something to a promotional advantage.

most consumer devices and services nowadays build upon foss tech, some even could be used in a foss way, but walled gardens are so much more profitable.
99% of the time when someone is talking about 'DAC' in a physical networking context it will be direct attached cable.

These types of cables are literally just copper wire connecting pins at either end. In comparison to fibre optics which require transceivers with their own logic and encoding circuitry within the SFP modules themselves.

Edit: I think this article is actually pretty harmful, I don't think people would normally think of networking as DAC/ADC...

> When it comes to copper cable communications, digital signals are converted as electric signals (analog signals).

The signal is still digital, it's not "analog" at all. Is data being read from your hard drive over a SATA cable "analog"?

You would call the chip that does the encoding for the physical medium the 'PHY' chip - not an DAC/ADC.
How about no incentives, just get the money at the end of the month?
There are certainly nuances, even when 'understood'

Yep for normal apps it is rare. The debugging sessions I've been in trying to untangle some of these flows gives me the shivers. Oops someone had a huawei with this specific default browser, that doesn't handle url paths?!?, some android webviews versions not handling redirects properly, android apps not being able to handle redirects in a webview if the app is not active.

These are very app specific, but that is just the amount of complexity that is opened up for in some of these flows. Hopefully webauthn / passkey can help reduce some of these. But I doubt it.
Well, technically, at the scale to house urban populations - no, because
a) it’s expensive
b) the talent is super scarce
c) it’s so much cheaper and easier to source concrete buildings

I’m sure one could source enough talent for few baroque villas or such but I have no idea what the budget would be.

Obvious example is Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia - don’t know how much of that is ’traditional’ vs ’non-traditional’ though.
My breathing is impaired as well, there is simply not enough space in my mouth as a result of the fix.

Then there's a lot of people like me who don't care at all because it works as well... they just changed the colours.

Thanks for these links!

Austral rational documentation is indeed really interesting. My preference goes into another direction (notably toward expression-based languages), but it's refreshing to read well explained design decisions.

The section about linear types is also a gem to this regard.
I would even consider this as a reference source to introduce the motivations and principles behind the Rust type system and borrow checker. Only the syntax would have to be made a bit more rusty.

My first association is "fake" - which _is_ appropriate to describe (especially the roman catholic) churches (organisations, not buildings). But I guess that that's not their intention ;)

> Hopefully they're entitled to spend their money the way they like.

I don't know about the US, but in Europe spending money in such a way would be heavily criticised.
Your initial statement kinda reminds me of those hobby game development projects that get stuck at choosing an engine/tooling and never build an actual game.
I think you might be thinking of the cold water tank in the attic that was historically used to feed decent cold water pressure to the upstairs taps only.

This is why I was told to never drink out of the taps upstairs as a kid. Think these up much rarer these days.

Hot water is always stored in an insulated hotwater cylinder in the UK, not open.
What an incredibly great man you are.

My buddy Travis in Vancouver needs help. But I have no idea how to reach him. Seems not to access his Facebook profile anymore. Supposedly he lives on the streets.
This certainly would not "automatically make digital resources with the emblem entitled to protection". The criteria for the humanitarian emblem were very specific: a red cross/crescent/lion on a white background. Any other emblem (even a very similar emblem like the red star of David on a white background once used by Israel) doesn't qualify for protection.

But there is a legal mechanism for adding new emblems, which was used to add a "red crystal" in 2005 [1], and I imagine a similar mechanism could be used to add a digital emblem.

Yep, this is why I say that oidc is vastly misused. There are much better options out there for implementing good solid, login, session flows. Using oidc as the only tool in the toolbox is a recipe for disaster.
Why would anybody think that’s a bad idea? Religions construct houses of worship, it’s sort of what they’ve done for thousands of years.
Also: to continue to show people more and more ads and in places where they have built muscle memory for expecting other information.
Come to think of it, maybe it isn’t such a good plan to give every one of your informants a unique domain to communicate on. Pretty much any government these days can survey all the internet traffic in their country. Wouldn’t it be a little tiny bit suspicious that, say, an Iranian sports news site is frequented by like 1-2 people in the whole of Iran?

The entire premise of this covert messaging system was flawed at the outset, and it’s just tragic that dozens of people lost their lives due to a system this poorly thought out.
I really don't want to start a flamewar, but as a central european, this sounds crazy ! What is the reason for that ? I'd expect you to be released (well, maybe not for murders and such), and called for the trial when the time comes ?
Exactly, my tongue also seems like it's too big for my mouth afterwards.

I wonder if rapid palate expansion would fix this also.
When AI Unplugs, All Bets Are Off
That does sound close but Proxmire doesn't seem like a populist politician, the Golden Fleece dates from the 1980s, and it wasn't specific to academia. A lot of the research was funded by other parts of the civil service than the NSF, like:

The Federal Aviation Administration was named for spending $57,800 on a study of the physical measurements of 432 airline stewardesses, including "distance from knee to knee while sitting", and "the politeal [sic] length of the buttocks."[19]

Office of Education for spending $219,592 in a "curriculum package" to teach college students how to watch television.

Amusingly it does seem to have hit the mark. A former NSF director even lied about the awards to try and discredit it!

Too bad this is all so long ago. I was asking more about the present day, as it seems like that was the implication of the comment being replied to. Where are all these populists with their modern version of the Golden Fleece awards?
I have a hypothesis that Google prioritizes businesses that are tied to Google somewhere somehow, for example their web site uses Google Analytics, or pays for ads, etc. This way, by promoting google-tied businesses they may (marginally) improve profits. A little dirty trick that makes sense for Google so much that I'd be very surprized if it's not true. Can't verify it though, hope someone can?
I was in a EU prison. I have seen 5 years pretrial detentions with one guy. There is no rule of law.

Me, they put for a month into solitary confinement under 24/7 video surveillance when I demanded to speak to the US embassy, since they did not believe me that I am a US citizen.
If only there was a headless version of AdNauseam, I would finally have a use for the many Raspberry Pi's sitting in my drawer.
That was the first thing that struck me, the 'workarounds' stagger belief, but they seem to be casually dropped in (?).

If I were in a situation where my company was contemplating implementing building our own registry/network stack, then the benefits of using a cloud provider are gone, and I would have considered moving to another provider... not saying "I can fix him". This feels like a sunken cost perhaps that is the right term.
That would also prevent lots of if not most people from using Chrome too. They have to pretend to care privacy & security so that they can put more into their pocket.
Data loss bugs in ZFS?? Wow.

My personal approach to filesystem evaluation is pretty much "How long has it been since I've seen someone talk about a data loss bug". This is my first time hearing one for ZFS. BTRFS seems to have at least one post a year. Ext4 has almost none, but maybe that's because people trust it and blame hardware when unsure what the issue is.
And I have the suspiction, this can happen with visual signals as well. See "visual snow".
Log Book with Computer Bug
One can fine tune a smaller parameter model like GPT-NeoX on a home GPU pretty readily, and it's absolutely capable of doing what you specified. Teach it with a bunch of example sentences that have parts of speech like verb and noun following a simple grammar, and you will see it generate sentences afterward that combine the parts of speech grammatically in novel ways, using the same grammatical structures but forming productions that did not appear in the training set.

Depending on settings, they are also capable of producing a lot of ungrammatical nonsense, but the odds of what it produces are changed considerably by the training.

Note the current style is described in the November 2023 update part-way down.
"First actual case of bug being found."
It really is, in some of these flows the single sign on nature of oidc isn't even used, or hacked away. And only used for login. Which is absolutely wild.
The difference however is that Apple Maps actually works
My least favorite thing about Google Maps is when they don’t display the street names in a place that makes sense. Sometimes I just want to look at the route and then drive there without instructions, but have to scroll halfway across the city just to see the name of the street I turn on.

That thesis format is the norm in Finland in sciency fields and also in some arts.

You can write a monograph (essentially a book) instead but that's frowned upon. Especially by admin because the papers bring the univerisity more money than monographs.

Nowadays piles of inconsequential papers where you contributed little but your name is almost a requirement for a solid career. It's horrible.
It's a MEAN WELL industrial power supply, brand new. I needed 12 volts DC to power a "car" amplifier, but it's not easy to get 50 amps of that from the wall. My guess is it's built for industrial automation, not audio equipment, but it's not like the other option of repurposed server PSUs would have been any quieter.

Removing the fan may or may not be relatively safe depending on how much airflow a 12 inch sub can push through a ported enclosure when it's running anywhere near full enough power to actually heat up the power supply.
Had braces for years, they removed 4 molars, was horrible, now my smile is too narrow, breathing bad, got TMJ, tongue too big for mouth, recessed chin look worse etc.

Why is it that orthodontics used this method? I can see locally it's still only some dentists that seem to use palate expansion when it's seemingly easier, prettier, quicker, healthier etc. than teeth removal + braces?

Thinking about removing my retainers and having a palate expansion done instead as you recommend as i seriously feel like i'm never really getting enough air during sports, sleep etc.

Oh no! Do you mind providing the paths where the errors occurs or the requests ids returned by Wasmer, so we can investigate further?

Thanks!
It should be, but I'm not sure it is, considering the use of dedicated weapons like graphite bombs to disable 85% of the grid in the Gulf War.

But maybe you have to ratify Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions for that to apply.

And we'll see how well they're enforced after a ratifying country has been hammering civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.

A lot of time I see those kinds of titles, it’s just a low quality article aimed at driving page impressions for minimal effort:

- talk about the change in a way thats easy to casually observe
- then link a few Tweets
…
- Profit

This article might be better but I’m training myself not to open articles with such titles anymore.
And I think they were the first in Latam broadcasting South Park.
the time after table
layouts and before flex and grid really sucked. table layouts sucked too but at least they made sense lol
Afaik that organization is very protective of its brands and symbols. Are these researchers authorized to use that name?
I'm pretty sure it's just something that trained osteopaths could do. Cranial osteopathy takes a lot of practice and learning as I understand.
Fair points!! I agree fully on the platform approach since many people have already mentioned about it and if it's super duper efficient and affordable, people are willing to pay
Google needs to have a serious review of their product management hiring practices. There are regressions in quality across the board.
No I meant basic research.

Academia justifies itself by claiming it's necessary to do "basic", "foundational", "fundamental" or "blue sky" research in a non-commercial setting, because supposedly corporations can't afford to do long term research that doesn't have immediate application. So in this model academic scientists develop a foundation of firm and rigorous theory about how nature works, publish a literature on it for the good of all mankind, and then shorter term applied research is done by companies to derive practical insights from that literature.

That model doesn't seem right, because there are lots of corporate research programmes into fundamental theory that were/are lavishly funded despite a decade+ of no ROI, most obviously at the moment AI. But let's put that aside and pretend it's true.

Problem is that humanities and social studies don't produce a body of theory on which anything can be built. Humanities produces only critical theory, which despite the name is more like a belief system than a scientific theory. The social studies produce a lot of that too, but even outside critical theory their output is just a giant pile of random thought bubbles and mini-studies to try and prove them. There's nothing much linking these studies, no frameworks that make reliable new predictions. Instead we get an endless stream of Just So claims that fall apart when people try to replicate them, but even failure to replicate doesn't have any impact because there's nothing underneath them to be invalidated. At most it's shown that this one specific paper isn't reliable.

Contrast to something like physics where the work of academic theorists is all about coming up with unified theories of everything, which could then be used to develop practical applications. Einstein is super famous because he invalidated large swathes of theory and opened up space for new theory to be developed. Social studies don't have any equivalent to Einstein and can't by design.
Just wishlisted that game. Keep up the great work!
"Can't verify it though, hope someone can?"

If someone could, that would be very troubling for google.
