How many people have you met in your life that have told you that they want to help advertisers serve them better personally targeted ads?

If the answer is a very low number, then why is Privacy Sandbox on by default?

In Chrome, none of the Privacy Sandbox APIs even respect the browser's built-in Do-Not-Track setting.

Contextual ads are enough. Advertisers don't have an intrinsic right to optimally profit off my device hardware, and they should be thankful for whatever profit they do end up getting.

Google's tech lead on Privacy Sandbox, Michael Kleber, says that "[…] limiting the web to contextual advertising solutions dramatically decreases the ability of web sites to fund themselves — for example, 52% less revenue for sites on average, and 62% less for news sites, according to https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/disabling_third-pa..., […]"

48% of current revenue is plenty. Privacy Sandbox is adtech greed forced onto users.

I've found that access control devices (biometric, nft) that are used in small offices have terrible software and useless interfaces. The devices itself can be procured easily from China. Maybe building something like this would be a good boring business.

It's so much of an implementation detail that even if the pack has a diff/delta between the two objects to diff, that WON'T be used to produce the output from git diff.
Maybe it boils down to how well you are able to navigate a code base.

With a full-featured language specific IDE, it is very easy to navigate through even complicated spaghetti. It makes debugging call traces simple, with a GUI.

However, many other file viewers and editors make this much more complicated, and it can be frustrating to follow code that is making heavy use of modularization.

If you are grepping your way through a deeply modular code base it can quickly become difficult to keep track of anything.

Full marks to anyone who can look back and honestly say as much. I went in skimming to see if there would be discussion of the security and correctness issues that sendmail became unfortunately infamous for, and I really appreciate them being discussed at reasonable length. (And I say that without judgment; I've certainly shipped enough things that lasted long enough for me to realize the errors that I had made in their design and/or implementation.)
On most Linux distributions and when the file is mmap'd, if you run it a second time the data will still be in RAM and not have to be read from disk. This gets the runtime down to 1.1s for this AMD 2950x (https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/46#discuss...).

With SIMD and certain assumptions about the input this can seemingly be further reduced to well under a second, eg see https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/138.

So the thing this prevents is:

1: User visits domain A which includes a script from domain T. The script sets a cookie with a unique ID on domain T.

2: User visits domain B which also includes the script from domain T. With the request for the script, the browser also sends the cookie with the unique ID.

3: T now knows "Someone visited domain A and B".

4: If T figures out something private about the user on site A (say their Twitter handle), they now know that Twitter handle X visited domain A and domain B.

Is this a correct summary of what this is about?

I guess this means that Meta knows a lot of domains which handle xyz visits. Because they set the cookie when the owner of handle xyz logs into their account and then sees them on every domain which includes a script from Meta.

So is this an attack on Meta by Google?

I'm never pleased to see these people when out walking as they almost invariably have very poor running form and, if they persist, will do damage to themselves.

So you're sticking to third party tracking cookies? Sadly this is unlikely to be a false dichotomy, as we've already seen paywalls put up around adblockers, I expect to see the same for browsers without third party cookie support – I already have to mess with Safari on a regular basis to get websites to work because it doesn't accept them.

Google loves doing this as they have all the info from everyone anyway and have first hand access to fingerprinting users, so they just cut out the competition who do it in this outdated fashion.
The spec and impl might be public, but the actual market analysis that drove the change and how it will make non-Google ad targeting less competitive is not, and your employer will go scorched-earth to hide whatever they can from public inquiry just as they’ve done in current trials e.g. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/09/google-fights-to...

If you work on Android maybe you can do a 20% project where you let users completely opt out of motion-based user fingerprinting even when airplane mode is on https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/7811918/google-is-tracking-you...

Or even a change to let Android users get a percentage of the profits garnered from Google’s fingerprinting of them.

Yeah, that was what I thought when I first worked with these APIs! But when you use PhotoKit, you have to explicitly opt-in to downloading files from iCloud.

AFAICT, PHAsset is only metadata. When I'm downloading the full-sized images, I use PHImageManager.requestImage() and pass in the PHAsset I'm looking at [1][2]. I know there's something similar for video, but I've never used it.

You can control the behaviour by passing a PHImageRequestOptions instance. This includes an isNetworkAccessAllowed bool which controls where Photos.app will download the file from iCloud if not present locally, and it defaults to false.

You just ignored all of my questions and are now insinuating that I said something implying that I am "sticking to third party tracking cookies".

In case you didn't get the drift from "Advertisers don't have an intrinsic right to optimally profit off my device hardware": I block third party cookies in Chrome and use other browsers that have third-party cookies blocked by default.

If you're asking about how I use third party cookies myself in my own software: I maintain a popular consent manager used all across the internet. It doesn't use third-party cookies. We're actually planning to implement Privacy Sandbox regulation capabilities so that our customers can properly gate your APIs based on tracking consent and user privacy rights (since you don't respect your own browser privacy signals).

If you're asking how I will react to a web with more paywalled ad-free content: Emotions ranging from indifferent to pleased, depending on the content source.

Are you aware that your coworkers have frequently claimed that Privacy Sandbox by itself somehow "enhances" ad privacy, conflating the removal of third party cookies with the introduction of Privacy Sandbox? The notice has since been removed, but I'm still waiting (likely forever) for an issue to be addressed about these fraudulent claims[1].

Nobody wants Privacy Sandbox except advertisers.

Starship has nowhere near the capacity to carry 400 passengers - people are not sardines you can just stuff into the rocket like you can satellites. You need plenty of equipment per person for manned spaceflight. Much more so if you want to compete with business class flying.

Also, the total travel time would be horrible, since you can't have a rocket launch/landing facility anywhere near a city, and loading and unloading a rocket is an immensely time consuming process. Plus, you never ever load people into a an already fuelled rocket.
If your software takes that much resources to compile, you may already be on the wrong end of this equation
It's _a_ way that an algorithm found out of the infinitely many edit scripts representing the same change; the underlying nitpick in this thread is that an algorithm found it and maybe it's not a great choice (we've likely all seen diff algorithms making some odd choices in the presence of closing braces, for example). But there's not particularly any adjectives to be expected about it.
They are still competing defence contracts with Lockheed, General Dynamics and Northrop.

Is there really?
Because I am a dumb army guy I do it the army way. I first attempt to eliminate as much risk as possible with end to end test automation and process documentation. Then I look at what’s left versus what I want to achieve. I separate the high risk efforts into separate calls for action. High risk is the result of severity versus frequency. Normally the highest risk things are large refactors which are helped by interface types and test automation.

As a former corporate JS guy nobody does risk analysis in the real world. Most people, have no idea what it is. The answer to everything is: frameworks. When you attempt to suggest some amount of common sense it is met with some combination of confusion and ridicule. I am no longer a corporate JS guy.

I also remember reading about the damage from that acquisition. I wonder if it would have eventually occurred anyway as that level of short-sighted thinking is so pervasive in industry now.
No, Lisp is not interpreted. Lisp compilers exist for long times. Lisp is dynamic typed. "Strong" typing often is wrongly used as a term for static typing.

When programming, Lisp certainly benefits from good editor support - as most other languages do too. And remarkably, the Lisp community pretty much agreed on a formatting and indentation style, so support in editors like Emacs is pretty good.

But its dynamic nature together with automatic memory management certainly limited the performance especially on the weak hardware back then. In comparison, it is almost trivial to write a small compiler for a language like Pascal which will produce efficient code.
Fun fact: the back then popular UCSD Pascal (I used it on the Apple II) was using a bytecode engine as the compilation task.

Generally the more advanced you are as a lifter the less specialised machines are going to benefit you. Machines are there for people who don’t know what lifts to do and how to do them with proper technique.

The industry in general seems to have a huge cash pay issue. Flight attendants, bag handlers, mechanics, aerospace engineers, etc. All are paid a lot less than one would think.

I have a few friends who did aerospace for a few years. All are now in tech and earning more than they expected to earn at peak of their aerospace jobs.
Not a dupe.
This is a different perspective from the Professional Pilots Rumour Network.
No I think the notion is that users don’t like ads, so there no need for Google to re-design cookies for the web. But it’s very Google-y to assume that users actually like Google ads. Even if they’re very low-quality ads for like mail-order brides and crypto scams which are even on youtube now.
> the merged commit can actually be literally anything

That cannot be stressed enough. Years ago a searched for a weird bug and could not find it. Of course I did not look at merge conflicts because "they don't really introduce anything new". But it turned out that a merge commit had introduced an arbitrary line, not related to its parents.

Also the opposite is true: You can make a conflict free merge of two correct parents and the result is broken code. It does not seem to happen very often in real life, but it's a risk one should be aware of.

I wonder how many merge commits there are in the Linux source tree that introduce something new by conflict resolution or break something existing without conflict resolution involved.

At work we are a small enough organization that we don't really merge, all our merges are fast-forward. But that means you move the risks above to rebasing.

I had a Tesla with FSD which I never used again after it pulled out in front of another car on the motorway. Only me grabbing control and pulling us back into lane prevented us being rear-ended. My inferior human reactions were enough for that. Even the regular autopilot lane-keeping was useless on anything except nice neat roads with painted lanes, and it did several frightening phantom emergency stops, luckily all at low speed.

That said, my current MG4 is just as bad with emergency lane-keeping, but with the added entertainment of it being on by default and needing to be disabled on every trip. Level 5 self-driving won't happen for decades.
From my understanding, yes. I asked about the billing model on the CF Discord 6-12? months ago. I don't know how much it costs per message, or if there is a catch wrt cheap wrtc signalling, however my understanding is that you won't be paying per user or per hour etc. To be clear this is through their MQTT 5.0 service only.

HN how do I learn to code?
I was recently dismissed from my uni where I was planning on studying compsci (mostly had to do with my very bad grades from the semester I tried to major in mechanical engineering but I degress). My hope is to contribute to the FOSS ecosystem as a developer, but as it stands I have very little experience programming. I feel I have a rather strong conceptual understanding of how computers work, but I still don't know how to talk to them. As school is no longer an option, I am unsure how to proceed. I currently am hoping to learn c and to use it to write a utility for managing multiple ttys with simultaneously different DEs and WMs on a linux system but I feel this project is too ambitious for my novice self. Are there any projects or advice y'all have, any would be greatly appreciated. Anyway regardless I hope you are doing well :)
