2. Get a network

3. Act with righteous indignation when some killjoy like the EU comes and says that you cannot just harvest whatever user data you want at will and users don’t opt to pay the proposed ransom money

Solved is a strong word. For most people, especially with git-forges geing so popular, yes.

But if you are doing binaries, because you are an artist/do 3d modeling, you probably sill use svn.

It does not help that main character only grunts in the show instead of talking. The book version of Geralt is the most talkative swordsman ever, so you learn a lot from dialogs or his thoughts. When you replace dialogs by grunts, you loose a lot of information.

Yeah, the third party doctrine is complete crap in the modern era. At the very least, what constitutes voluntarily turning over information to a third party needs to be far more narrowly defined, but I think the entire premise is a bit shaky.
There is more to being able to maintain housing than paying rent. Are you also going to subsidize cleaning and maintenance staff to scrub and rebuild the apartment every time they deliberately destroy it? If you kick them out for smearing everything in feces or tearing all the copper out of the walls or stopping up all the drains and flooding the unit because the drugs made them think this was a good idea, then you haven't solved the homeless problem. You've just made another homeless shelter which they won't stay in because it has rules they won't or can't follow.

They need to be housed in something like a prison or a psychiatric hospital, after being convicted with due process.
Imagine they'd applied all that talent to something that furthered their mission "to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy through increasingly affordable electric vehicles in addition to renewable energy generation and storage".
If you're going to make statements like this, at least be correct. Valve don't prevent yoou from selling your game for less outside of steam, they prevent you from selling _steam keys_ for less outside of steam. You're perfectly free to host it on your own website for $10 less.
South Africa's inequality and resultant crime can't be blamed on a one-state solution. The peaceful transition from Apartheid to an inclusive democracy absolutely was a success story in terms of overall wellbeing.

The remaining inequality (especially along racial lines), government corruption, and violent crime are terrible problems, yes, but pale in comparison to the dehumanising codified violence of Apartheid.

Are you seriously proposing that a two-state solution would have served the people of South Africa as a whole better in the long run? I think the resultant inequality would have been far worse. Do you have another proposal?

(Edit to point out that I'm not implying that what worked for South Africa can or can't work for Israel. This comment is about South Africa.)

(As an aside) I know this community prefers not to focus on weak arguments and avoid flame wars (no pun intended), but I have to point out blatant fear mongering:

> where people install flamethrowers on their cars because violent carjackings are so common

I wouldn't repeat this as fact. The device referenced was a short-lived gimmick from 1998, four years after South Africa's first democratic election. It is in no way a reflection of reality.

Yes, carjackings are a problem in South Africa, but repeating the flamethrower story reads like FUD.
God! I just went there. I hope they know how to use ad blockers at least lol
> An OS only exists to host apps on the device, and the store exists to host apps in a central repository from where devices copy.

Then the store needs to have the apps I want available. If they don't, why shouldn't I be able to look at other stores?

Not if every app decides to implement their own in app subscription in order to make it harder for me to cancel or dispute. And then move their app to not the App Store. Apple provides a common playground for every app. You need to provide these things to your customers or you can play with them. I like it because it forces developers to adhere to some standards. Like for example not tracking me and not building only the subscription start part but have the cancellation behind an email I need to send.

I'm speaking of exclusivity deals. None of those games had exclusivity deals with Steam.

You're blaming Steam for not having worthy competitors, but that isn't their job. Valve/Steam doesn't engage in exclusivity deals, EGS does. And Valve-published games obviously don't count, there's no deal, they just decide not to publish elsewhere.

And remember: the closest competition is literal piracy. I'm not only noticing that Steam provides a quality service worth paying for because of EGS. I don't think you understand how many would-be pirates instead have gigantic Steam libraries.
"Apple now requires..." euh, no. The law requires.
I suspect most people think “metal detector” when they see “security check”. Documentation checks can occur at many points, from a shop wanting your boarding pass so they can claim the tax back, to the lounge to check your right of entry, to scanners at queues measuring waiting time, to checkin when dropping your bags

Different people check different documents for different reasons. I’ve had a police passport check post X-ray at Manchester in the past, the U.K. doesn’t typically do exit checks, preferring to rely on API. Schengen does, but sometimes they don’t stamp you on the way out which can be a right pain^W brexit bonus. Then there’s all the loopholes, like Brussels-Lille on Eurosta, where I believe you can get a schengen exit stamp but never actually leave schengen (two tickets from Brussels, one to Lille, one to London, use the london one, get the stamp, but then leave at Lille with your Lille ticket. Perhaps done with an accomplice if the Lille ticket needs stamping at Brussels, I’ve never done that route before.
You might be interested in homomorphic encryption. It allows for mathematical operations on encrypted data. I don't know if any database actually supports it, but it should allow for things like SUM operations on a column of encrypted numbers with a result that is also encrypted.
Thank you for making it.

> full text tabs forever [1]: chrome extension to provide full text search over web pages I've visited

This is amazing.

But wouldn't this extension end up taking up a massive amount of space? Does it index text which is fetched and hydrated after page load?

Also, does it strip HTML from the text so that text <strong>like this</strong> can be searched with exact phrase matching?

Is the source code for fttf available? I'm sure you're lovely, but I'm nevertheless reluctant to install an extension which has access to all pages

I asked you a direct question that followed from your argument, where you proposed essentially a global jewish conspiracy, based on strawman arguments.

I created this website (https://unexploredhq.com/) to find unexplored places for travel with my SO. Instead of going to cliched places like Paris in France, I can input an area or region and then select attributes of this place (eg Sunny, Beach, Mountains) .. and see the list of places which satisfy my constraints. In future, I plan to integrate a Flight API so that I can add a constraint of finding places within a budget.

I am a ML researcher/engineer at heart, so building out the attributes by scraping the web was straightforward (have over 26000 locations indexed). But learn React as a hobby (with help from ChatGPT) to build this :)

It seems not, as from a bit of cursory research, Netflix did not produce Chiquititas (2013), Paw Patrol, Wrong Side of the Tracks, CoComelon, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Suits, Breaking Bad, etc.

For some of these they may have exclusive distribution rights, but I don't think any of those are Netflix Original content.

Hospitals expect to be able to run off paper for hours.

If anything, the hospitals are much more reasonable in terms of expectations of uptime than people's expectations of cat video avaliability.

We used to get 4 hour downtime windows to completely redo switch stacks for every switch closet in a location over a single week for example.
Not really. So much regarding that topic depends on what's actually modeled in the training data, not how it is being trained on that data.

They aren't experts on what's encoded in the training data, as the last three years have made abundantly clear.
But you knew exactly the contract you are getting into and still went ahead with it.

Also Apple take around 15% from most developers.

Also it’s not really about providing choice given that developers will flock to the lowest % store and it doesn’t matter if that store siphons personal data. My main problem with this is that the push comes from profit margins and not care about the users and that is pretty obvious if you ask the why question a few times
it's quirky to know that this is familiar to our brains perhaps but can only be accessed outside of the facilities of our 5 senses. I like to imagine that is our experience on LSD and psilocybin with our brains in different focus
I practice yoga almost daily in a yoga center in my city. There's a limited number of slots for all lectures and you have to register in advance. You can unregister more than 2 hours in advance without any penalty - as a result, many people register to lectures days in advance and unregister shortly before the lecture if they decide not to go. Many of the best lectures are almost always fully booked.

At first, I made a simple notification bot that checks the website regularly and sends a Telegram notification once a lecture is free. Recently, I added a script that logs me to the lecture automatically, so I don't have to follow notifications. Simple and useful project.
I think you need to upgrade your phone. I have never had these issues with a (more or less recent) iPhone.
sometimes is the problem. It's not consistent.

Others mention that this is a result of the WGA strike, though apparently the terms of the deal allowed the streaming company's to require an NDA to view the information, so that doesn't explain everything.
Do you know how this relates to non-US customers in... non-US? I.e. everyone else, everywhere else? And, whatever applies to Apple in this sense, I assume also applies to Google.

Both Tesla's navigation system and Google Maps suck, but in different ways.
Neither is able to suggest the best routes - Google Maps will try to make me waste 4km and 6 minutes suggesting a crappy route - only to update (showing much improved distance and ETA) when I disregard its guidance and take what road I know is more direct.
The Tesla maps are surprisingly better in this regard but they are often completely unaware of traffic or road closures (this is in Germany mind you - maybe in the US they behave better). Also they flood you with useless instructions (keep left to stay on Highway XX. How about you only tell me when it's time to leave the highway, not to remain on it?).

I just look at both in the morning, make my own opinion on what road would be best, then I close them both and use Waze for the alerts.

But for example, if I'm traveling somewhere far away, with charging stops, I _have_ to use the Tesla maps because the car will then start preheating the battery on approach to a charger.
BMW has wireless support for both and even displays navigation instructions in their HUD. I still consider the native infotainment system, iDrive, a much better experience.
Slightly off-topic, but a home gym pays back in no-time (if you only use weights and some simple equipment like a bench and a pullup rack, that is).
A lot of people sought refuge in neighboring countries after the Ukraine invasion, for the duration of the war. At this point a Russian victory seems likely. Can you fathom those Ukrainians being denied entry in the country after the war, because now they are foreigners? Worse, do you think it would be legitimate for them be labeled "foreigners" while even still living inside Ukraine?

Most of my programs were written for my own use, including:

• A ‘sound change applier’ for my hobby of language construction, to simulate the process of historical sound change [https://bradrn.com/brassica/]

• A small browser extension to save the full text of all webpages I visit, and a local client to search the database [not open-sourced, apologies!]

The first two have gained a few other users since being released, but I’m pretty sure I’m still the one who uses them the most!
I believe the original PEP [1] answers almost all questions. The only option not covered would be probably an "optional" type, but it is even easier to answer: any such type has to be heap-allocated in the Python memory model, so a mere iteration could've caused a lot of redundant memory allocations.

Lmao Apple.

Time for the EU to step in. They don't get everything done but they certainly force a lot more out of companies than other organisations.
But they are not giving people what they want. Netflix recommendations are notoriously bad and Netflix is not all that successful lately with its own shows. Even when they have actually good shows you would like, you rarely find them through Netflix recommendations - you need someone to tell you about the show.
How much did you spend on your last lunch?

Why did you pay 5x the price of ingredients?
And I'm asking you how exclusivity deals are more anti-consumer than exclusivity without deals. I'm not saying they have exclusivity deals with Steam and I'm not blaming Steam for anything, but that doesn't change the fact that as a consumer I'm forced to use Steam to purchase those games. In the same way I'm forced to used EGS to purchase their exclusive games.

So why does a deal between a publisher and Valve or EGS make a difference to me, the consumer? Why aren't all exclusives anti-consumer regardless of a deal that might or might not exist?

> I don't think you understand how many would-be pirates instead have gigantic Steam libraries.

I don't understand your point though. Are you saying no one should compete with Steam because users will pirate the games? I don't think that's a good reason to give Steam a monopoly.
Hamas did not target the festival. It has since transpired that they did not even know that such a festival was taking place. They were making their way along a road, from one military base they had smoked, to the next one, and ran smack into it.

Cue pandemonium, and wild crossfire.

We DO have actual gun footage camera of Israeli Apache helicopters firing indiscriminately. Plus we have the testimony of those helicopter pilots, as reported by Haaretz, that they had no clue who was who, and they just emptied their weapon stores on anything that moved, and kept going back to base to reload and repeat.

ALL of the above is taken VERBATIM from Israeli sources, reported by the Israeli media.

You haven't looked at any of it. Just blindly repeating the same tired old narrative, long after it has been debunked.

After all, why is Israel BURYING all the forensic evidence (burned out cars, etc) in the desert? Or... you didn't know about either (widely reported even in the US)

And Hamas took hostages for the SAME reason they ALWAYS took hostages. To free the THOUSANDS of innocent Palestinian hostages languishing in Israeli dungeons. Or are you going to pretend that that's not true either?

For goodness sake, J Paul - the US State Dept official who resigned in protest gave interviews talking about EXACTLY THIS, and even shared cases that he personally was involved in where Palestinian child hostages were sexually abused/raped by their Israeli captors.

You can stick your fingers in your ears as long and as deep as you want. That's your problem. It doesn't have to be mine, or others who want to delve deeper and find out the truth.
iOS does this reasonably well

> A typical iOS application has a fixed architecture-often a hierarchical tree with multiple levels. This rigid struc- ture makes navigation options pre- dictable. Structural navigation pat- terns give users confidence about where they came from, where they are in the hierarchy, and how to navi- gate back to where they came from.

whereas on Android, sometimes the 'Back' gesture lands you on the previous page and sometimes it completely closes the app. it's so inconsistent that I dropped 12 years of using Android and switched to iOS.
The US doesn't control the food intake, the water intake, fuel, electricity, internet and the flow of any goods/people entering/exiting Iran.

I guess my point is that the statement is best in class PR spin. It's a pointless statement to make since everyone captured on surveillance footage at the airport will be seen without a valid ticket. However it's genius if the airport wants to assert that the airport does in fact have a working video surveillance system without being questioned about it.
> They're saying it's a necessary but not sufficient metric.

Okay, then I'm saying it shouldn't be necessary either, for the sole reason that preventing a future CVE is not measurable, while fixing a CVE is. If you so much as pay attention to fixing existing real-world CVEs, you're implicitly focusing on that measurement, as you cannot predict the future. I argue that we would be better off not paying attention to them at all.

If anything, we should take the wide array of CVEs that were discovered in other systems and not applicable to OpenBSD as evidence that their intuition and proactive approach works well. The only real metric of a security of a system is the absolute number of CVEs in a long period of time, in which OpenBSD shines.
