It used to happen much more in the past. Many decades ago, AFAIK, at least in the journals / fields / areas I'm familiar with.

I'm not sure where that might happen or be tolerated, today. If you go back and look at research into antibiotics, DNA, etc. back in the 1940s and 1950s ... and even research in the 1960s and 1970s, decades later, there ended up being serious questions around ethics, authorship, etc. for some really seminal papers, for example.

If you're already using Thunderbird as mail client, you can integrate Google Messages add-on [1] into Thunderbird app which I have been using happily for over a year without much trouble (sans the incoming texts notification feature). Seemingly this add-on has all features akin to the Google Messages Android app.

They asked for permission because if you want to use data a hospital already has stored for another use, you need to contact the patient to get additional consent (you already gave them consent to collect and keep the sample).

See https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/faq... under "Should the initial consent ... be repeated or supplemented?" and I think this is the law: (45 CFR 46.116(b)(5)).

This is actually not specific to the EVs but something all German car brands started doing. They made their alternators/chargers of the 12V battery overtly complicated and you have to use a dongle to tell the car you replaced the battery and with what kind of battery.

My friend once replaced her battery, exact same one in a BMW X3. The car immediately went into a limp mode and would refuse to go faster than 5mph until we connected a dongle and told it that the battery was replaced with the exact model that was already in there.

There's an argument they did it for "battery lifespan optimization" which there is a semblance of truth, because there are different kinds of lead acids. The reality is they found a new way to force the majority of people into dealerships.
I work in govt tech, we already internally do not care about FF support at all and only really look to chrome based browsers (chrome edge mostly) and safari.

Probably they originally did it because Android has high-assurance embedded use-cases (compare/contrast: Windows IoT Core) where you want to strip out everything possible from the attack surface.

But mainly it's because base Android (AOSP) can be arbitrarily modified by the OEM; and Google doesn't want to have to trust installations of Google Play Services that have been arbitrarily modified by OEMs.

(Especially because those versions would likely all act differently-enough from one-another that they would be forced to loosen their server-side, network-traffic-fingerprint-based "authentic Android device" detection that allows them to ignore/block bots pretending to be Android devices.)

By shipping Google Play Services through the store, they can ensure that, on devices that run it, it's exactly the same code for every device that runs it, with no OEM alterations. (And they can also include various checks to reject devices that would try to alter that code at load time. This is the real reason why e.g. Huawei devices are blocked from using Google Play Services — they try to patch unspecified parts of the Play Services code while loading it, "breaking the integrity of the platform" from Google's perspective.)
How often does your power cut out unexpectedly and how bad is that for you and your website?

For me in the Netherlands, maybe 2 years ago my power cut out for an hour IIRC. Pretty reliable, good enough for my website to be just as available.

Point being: is it worth the effort to have a backup in that circumstance?

I think it is greyer than this.

Hum, the way the disk is used in Linux does not seem so complicated after all.
It is because JS is used for frontend and fullstack is a thing and for business logic language doesn't matter and TS is actually quite usable.

Go and Rust eat mostly on perf heavy code and are more for rewrites that iterating on first version. I guess Go is also used at enterprises more as it's stable and has good libs. I would say that Go and Node are still eating some of Java lunch.

It's just that quality of libs in nodejs is kinda bad - especially for DB stuff. Prisma is something that starts to feel nice but not 100% sure how reliable it is. Lack of something like Rack or WSGI means there's little competition between web frameworks. Nest.js solves that a little. There's just isn't any big corporation using node for something serious or we would have good backend libs. Everyone uses Java or Go.
Ruby has Github and Shopify that pull it up but what's there is nodejs land? Only Meta (now Vercel?) with React from big players. Probably some current startups that will grow big will invest more in JS land. Seems like only VCs are interested in lowering the cost of business and throwing everything at cheap fullstack devs offshore :P

Ruby out of the box experience was nice but now you can have the similar with Next.js. Python seems to have fine libs but documentation lacks guidance and even I struggle as semi experienced dev. With Poetry it's usable for people that don't sit in ecosystem. Elixir is niche and also lacks typing, for most business code it doesn't make much sense.

It does state as the only fix:

We recommend you use a different browser or disable the “EasyList Cookie” filter from your “Content Filtering” settings (found under “Settings” -> “Shields” in the Brave Browser).

Top comment at the moment: "The breadth of subject matter here is sobering. What rights should a person have regarding their own bodily capability, including intelligence? Does that relate to a baseline of functionality, or a relative level of capability amongst peers, or your state at birth? And the idea that adversaries might have a different perspective on this … and that private industry would lead in this space. Would I rent my enhanced legs? Do I go into debt and have to pay them off throughout my life? Do I get contacts that come with 24/7 advertisements? Do I become addicted to my dopamine regulator? This conversation is just the tip of the iceberg."

I recently played around with this tool to spec out the resources I'm using to host a medium complexity Rails application in AWS. I was blown away by the experience.

Lifetime access costs $4 (just for now I assume!)

I have no affiliation with the owners other than being a paying customer. In the hands of real AWS customers, I believe this will put immediate pressure on AWS' anti-customer practices. This will enable real businesses to leave.

Well to be fair for the upper class Romans it was exactly that.
That's what this article argues though. Even with good faith acting this would be a disaster. Imagine any time you did something against the law you got fined. The second you drive your unregistered car off your driveway (presumably to re register) you are immediately fined. There may be "due process" cause you DID break the law, but there is no contextual thought behind the massive ticket machine.

Our laws are not built to have the level of enforcement that AI could achieve.

Coincidentally, I am just beginning to learn Django.

I have experience with NextJS, Express and Flask.

In the past, Django had intimidated me due to having so many official-sounding files and folder structure and settings etc. So, I had just not given it too much brain cycles.

After having experience with the earlier listed frameworks, I can appreciate some of the things Django gives out of the box. It feels "industry-grade".

Hoping to make fond memories with Django just like the other experiences described here! Happy holidays everyone!
Wireshark supports this natively.

Look at the `SSH remote capture: sshdump`.
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/sshdump.html

Wireshark can SSH into the remote machine, perform the capture, then show the packets in your local instance of Wireshark.

It's a bit of a nuisance to setup of course, tshark has a bit less friction here, and TUIs are always cool.
AIX kernel has an inode cache, stat cache and directory name caches though. There's procfiles command to show inodes open by a given process and istat command that can link the i-nodes back to the file names. There is also available lsof command ported from linux.

"We aren't willing to make those network changes to allow it to run."

"We won't allow it to connect to our <foobar> server but it is a requirement to connect to our <foobar> server if it is going to be hosted internally."

This is the stuff that makes "enterprise" deployments difficult. Oh and they want you to hold their hand through it but they aren't willing to pay for consulting.
Good old Monkey’s Paw truth. Technically true, but substantially false.

It really should be fraud if you have to defend yourself in court by saying: “Well, technically…”.

A marketing can be useful if it is meant to inform. However, a marketing organization spending their time focus grouping a statement until the average listener comes to the wrong, overstated conclusion is the definition of deliberate deception meant to bewilder and confuse.

The standard we should demand is that marketing must deliberately aim to inform. They must focus group until the average listener comes to the correct or understated conclusion. A failure to do so (when expending serious marketing resources) should be counted as fraud.

We should demand marketing be held to moral standards higher than a Monkey’s Paw.

What is "clear and understandable" varies greatly, though. E.g. Nigerian English is often subtitled in the UK, but fairly often so is Scottish English... Both often to the great dismay of speakers of the two who sometimes are very annoyed at the expectation that people might not understand them.

Nigerian English is actually fascinating in that there's a whole spectrum from Nigerian Pidgin, which ranges from nearly unintelligible to English speakers, to "mostly British English" in terms of orthography and grammar, but which still tends to incorporate words from several differences Nigerian languages and pidgin. (e.g. abeg, don't give me any wahala; Please, don't give me any trouble)

Now consider Nigeria is about to become the country with the second largest number of English speakers worldwide (it's close to tied with India, depending which sources and level of proficiency you consider, and Nigeria's population is growing far faster than India's), and while it's still quite far behind the UK for people speaking it as their first language, with current population growth and increasing use of English (e.g. my ex wife's first language is English because her parents first languages were Igbo and Yoruba, and that kind of situation is driving adoption) likely to cause Nigeria to become the second largest on that measure as well.

So handling a broader range of dialects will matter, at least in terms of recognition - I do agree that there's more flexibility for generation, though even there if you try feed a broader Nigerian English pidgin to a TTS engine and it doesn't know what to do with the words it might well end up being unintelligible both to eg. American or British English speakers and Nigerian English speakers.
When I studied "computer engineering" (a very long time ago) one of our classes involved hardware debugging on PDP-8 minicomputers (which were old even at the time).

The lecturer would use a craft knife to make a tiny cut in a PCB trace somewhere in the machine. Then we would write debugging code, use oscilloscope and multimeter etc. to isolate the failure. A blob of solder repaired it.

That was such great fun and some powerful learning. It would be great if there was an online game/logic simulator that could do something similar.

I seem to recall that some of the Stratemeyer[1] series had a bit more of the ghostwriter's personality leak through in the earlier books.

I don’t know that it’s necessarily government red tape. Hooking up a variable power supplier like wind or solar is tricky and failure to do it correctly can take down the grid. Do you have specific examples of what “useless” red tape here looks like? I don’t believe Nee Zealand is unique here.

The marginal approach you propose is interesting but I don’t know that it’s all that helpful / informative. If more cars get plugged in that would be reflected in the total energy and the energy mix anyway. Who cares about attributing it to EVS directly. And yeah, we’re not installing solar / wind fast enough to keep up with getting ICE vehicles off the road as that’s an insane amount of new energy production the grid would have to support (and plenty of people charge overnight when solar is useless and the grid isn’t set up to use the cars as batteries). Nuclear is the only choice to scale up 0 carbon energy but renewable advocates seem to have a lot of resistance to acknowledging this fact. That’s why oil companies are so pro renewables - all the data shows fossil fuel use goes up even with increasing solar installations because they eat other energy sources (coal, bio, some hydro) but overall consumption of oil and gas keeps increasing because renewables can’t keep up with growth.
>All mainstream servers ... do this kind of "squishing", which is a sad reality of client design and not what the ActivityPub spec was intended for

I understand what you mean by "the Mastodon API" but I think we're talking past each other; this does not seem like a client design problem but a protocol problem.

I would like to contend that the ActivityPub spec is too vague and thus clients are forced to do this "squishing" in order to find a portion of the spec that is sufficiently well-defined as to actually be practical for a specific use-case like a federating Twitter clone.

As far as I can tell, there's an echo of this lack of definition in the ActivityPub (and actually more specifically, in the ActivityStreams) specification if you do a tour of the ecosystem of implementations, you'll find that almost all of them are in dynamically typed high-level languages like Ruby (Mastodon). Implementations in languages like Go where JSON deserialization must be defined per-type have a very hard time with ActivityStreams and you'll find that Go implementations of ActivityPub like go-fed are much more narrowly scoped in their functionality in order to avoid this problem.

I have wasted many, many hours on ActivityPub, and I am extremely sad to make this comment, because I understand why it was invented.. but I'm not sure it's really good enough to achieve its goals.
Excellent point - you are 100% correct, parent comment etc. were specifically about water-moderated types.

On iOS many of the individual apps e.g. Mail, Notes you can delete and then re-download from the App Store.

And as part of Security Updates they have patched vulnerabilities just in the relevant apps.

So there is nothing technical stopping them. It's just been customary to treat iOS as a product where all features ship together.
That's because it's a pretty silly way to look at things in a world of docker compose.
I agree. Grad students must appear in the paper because most universities have an explicit or implicit requirement of a few papers to get the Ph.D.
