How so? It's not like they had some officer trying each password. It was plugged into a machine made to do such things and likely left alone for the vast majority of time.
We cannot rank all the people and put their IQ into a sorted array to calculate median, so some of us accept loss of precision when we use average numbers.
But that's not (a reference to) an array, that would be [T; N] it's a reference to a slice hence the syntax [T]

Arrays know their size, so the "I'll interpret it as zero Ts" makes even less sense for an array where we know up front the size as it is part of the type.

It's a brand issue, people doesn't associate Microsoft with great products, you see it with their gaming division as well, despite insane marketing, they fail to match Sony both in HW and services (Sony has like 3x more, both, console sales and service subscribers than MS)

We need less of both, Google and Microsoft both want to be in a monopoly position, which is bad
I have noticed a serious decline in the quality and quantity of good posts to the front page since the API changes; I wonder if that's noticiable from the internal numbers, or if the remaining people are engaging with the system in a more monetisable fashion and so it doesn't matter.

I'm slowly using it less and less; don't think that will change.
I've had the opposite. I called complaining about the poor service and they offered a discount. What they were in fact doing was adding additional charges to my bill each time I called.

The Air France 447 incident occurred in an Airbus aircraft with these warnings, and it ended in a crash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447). The airplane in this incident had a flight system that gave tactile and visual feedback that the other pilot was giving inputs. I think it would indeed be better to have an additional auditory warning, but we should not underestimate the fact that pilots can and do make serious mistakes. Since this is the same company, it points to issues in training.
However, this becomes less significant when the applications are interoperable. If you ever stop using Obsidian, you can just grab your files and use another Markdown editor on top.

>> re you going to fine Google everytime a throwaway account uploads to YouTube.

Sure. Social media companies have been denying responsibility for years, but that doesn't have to be the case. The core problem is anonymity, or inability to verify a source. That and automation that users can just lie to.
There is still a large gap, therefore space for meaningful generalization.
> A huge amount of manpower in getting all these pieces into shape.

Not wrong, but a lot easier in recent years as compared to the past, as historically there were a lot of closed-source systems. Nowadays, with the popularity and ubiquity of open source, one can 'brute force' writing for Linux, GCC, and LLVM, and you've probably a sizeable portion of use cases covered.

(You may have difficultly in getting things into mainline if you've got a niche ISA, so there's continuing overhead of maintaining patches.)
In practical terms this is like saying "you're welcome to decline food". Part of the argument for limiting federal government in the first place is to prevent this kind of arm twisting.
The HIBP database really should be open to the world, with the email being redacted.

I would love to grep the list of 25m passwords to see if any of mine are in there.

I don't particularly want to send my details to HIBP to check if I have been compromised.
I would love if this was "fine-tunable" on iOS. On macOS there are various ways to cap the maximum charge percentage. On iOS (and macOS by default) it tries to learn your charging habits and do various things based on that, but it never actually caps you to 80%. For example, it knows I plug my phone in over night, so it charges to 80%, pauses, then does the remaining 20% right before I wake up.
In Germany there are two distinct kinds of higher education institutions addressing that. Vocational universities that teach skills in a very practical manner, and generally more prestigious "plain" universities that spend more time on fundamentals (as in scientific foundations), and teach under assumption that alumni will contribute to academia themselves - even if this assumption turns out false in most cases. In addition to that there are also vocational programs in software engineering that don't count as higher education at all.
Novel, but not unheard of. The popular Japanese Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky (which, last I check, commands a price tag of $80 a bottle) is mostly made from corn.

I could see this becoming a luxury product in short order. Especially with all of the varieties of corn available in Mexico.
There is value in discussing when the federal government is potentially overstepping.

This has nothing to do with what GP invented (amount control and expiration date set by central banks).

> But it's fairly obvious that measures will be taken against drug sellers, sex workers, banned political parties and so on.

Yeah, of course like governments already do with cash!

There's a big difference between saying “governments are going to police things” (which is always true, that's their purpose in fact) and spreading made up claims involving a central bank's conspiracy (spoiler alert: policing isn't part of central banker's job, if somebody is going to do anything it will not be them but the plain and boring law enforcement agencies, but that sounds less bad as a conspiracy to say that police is going to police stuff, I guess).

If anything, a technology like Taler is a big improvement in terms of individual freedom compared to things like credit cards. If governments want to stop cash to combat crime (and save money, the logistics around cash is very expensive) having Taler instead of Visa is a massive benefit for privacy and freedom.

price discovery is irrelevant in medical procedures. who wants to go to the cheapest doctor to get heart surgery. the whole concept of pricing in a medical setting is perverse. Doctors are supposed to help the most in need first not based on who can pay more. the hypocritic oath doesn't say anything about pricing.

> In practical terms this is like saying "you're welcome to decline food".

And that's true. Federal road funding for highways comes with some specific regulations and conditions, on signage, minimum bridge heights, etc. To extend the food analogy, if someone's gifting you free food, it's probably a bit rude to complain you don't like the parsley garnish.
Both can be true, Google is going downhill but that's not enough of a motivation to switch, defaults are very powerful.
Noise cancelling head phones and some soft music cuts out any kid noise completely for me.
I personally don’t even agree that Google returns irrelevant results.

I am a DuckDuckGo user and I still use the !G flag when the results I’m getting aren’t good. Every time I go over to Google the results improve slightly.

ChatGPT is a game changer when it comes to getting a system to understand the underlying meaning of my query. I used to give the example of searching for Frank Lloyd Wright’s height - doing so on a search engine would give you results about the buildings themselves. You’d have to dig for the simple information of how tall the dude was.

Alas, Google actually fixed this and quickly displays the man’s actual height now.

Microsoft and Google are both going to integrate AI into their search engines and they’ll both improve drastically as a result. We’re only scratching the surface on the subject.
Here’s the thing: both of those are good. Anywhere you have a large group of people doing a job, you will inevitably have issues where their bosses want to make decisions which will negatively impact life for a lot of working people, and collective bargaining helps counterbalance that.

There are problems with certain unions, but that has to do with the framework around them. When a police union protests because one of their members is found guilty, that looks like a union problem but it’s really a symptom of a deeper leadership problem: you’re hiring a ton of cops who think they’re above the law!
Yeah reacting to incoming files isn’t well supported, but why would you need to do that?
There's been a lot of consolidation in this space. The remaining operators provide a terrible user experience and are tailored for the mass marketer email campaigners. The crackdown on "spam senders" will only make this worse.
Not at FAANG - but my company was scaling up and bought a much larger office space right before covid, so a lot of the push does seem to be "We just spent a bunch of money on this and need to justify it to investors, it looks bad when they come in and the office in 90% empty desks"

With an average of over 2000 companies tracking each person in the study, and with a great many of those companies being retailers, there is zero chance the identities of the individuals involved are not either already de-anonymized or trivially de-anonymized at some point in the future through a leak of the data collected by one of those retailers.

these are not the ONLY signs. They’re signs that usually are used for showing construction or travel times or burn bans or other weird things the government wants to convey.

“Immigrants” aren’t stupid, and despite what some might think, do have the full ability to engage in normal human behaviors like humor.

Edit: I think some of you are confused about this story. This has nothing to do with the normal road signs that are meant to be used for navigation etc. These are things which are usually blank, and sometimes turned on for information about road construction or things like that: https://www.kbtx.com/2024/01/17/no-joke-feds-are-banning-fun...

Wait until you see what happens if universal basic income becomes a thing.
The MMO generation already entered the workforce a long time ago. Many of them are now middle-aged professionals. But because MMOs have always been a relatively niche hobby, with even the most popular games having only a few million daily players, their impact has not been that significant. They are a small minority in the overall workforce, and while they do have effective remote working habits, they have been self-selected for the ability and interest to form communities online.

Most of the images are hard to figure out. For example, if the picture of the cat was not next to a C, I would have thought it to be a monkey. I would have assumed the dog to be actually a pet cow. The blade of the so called axe does look like a beaker or an old fashioned fountain pen ink bottle pouring out yellow ink or paint.
My son started making games in Scratch at around 8 or 9. He eventually graduated to Pico-8 and at 12 that is still his preferred tool for making games.

A few threads here recommend pico-8, however, you said he specifically wants the game to be 3D.

The developer of pico-8 has another project named Voxatron which is similarly accessible like pico-8, but for 3D gaming.

Worth a look: https://www.lexaloffle.com/voxatron.php
HTML can already have CSS and JS embedded with little ceremony. You can sorta embed images with data URLs, but I kinda wish you could instead add blocks of base64 encoding to the end of the HTML and reference it with a special IMG attribute. With that, if browsers could auto-detect GZIP-compressed-HTML and un-gzip silently, we'd have the ideal self-contained document.
Isn't this how Google (as search) got off?

Altavista et al got spammed into unusable mess and their use collapsed almost overnight when PageRank (temporarily as we've learned) managed to filter out the spam.

Of course nowadays Google's tentacles are so deeply everywhere that they will churn on with subpar technology just like e.g. Oracle, SAP, IBM, Microsoft etc etc. The oligopoly is probably here to stay.
I got this hunch that most searches are for the top domain of a site as people forget of it is .org, .com, .gov or .us or whatever.

However, I don't understand how statcounter got the data about usage it the first place. Their methodology might be flawed.
The Register I can anticipate giving me a clickbait headline, but I'm a little sad that 404 media is choosing to go that way.

They are relatively new and have an opportunity to choose the tone they want to set, and there's already enough clickbait on the internet. Claiming Google search has gotten worse and then following up with the immediate next sentence indicating that the study showed that search is worse across the board is a bad look.

Yeah, got into software thanks to roblox. Way easier to get started than most of the suggestions in this thread and caters from everything from building maps to writing code (if you want to do that). Lua is pretty easy to pick up but you can use TypeScript or Luau if you want.

You also don't need Lua knowledge.

The games can run on desktop, mobile, and even console. Built-in multiplayer. Huge community. Lots of tutorials. It's pretty amazing, to be honest.

Agreed, young people coming up in their career are at a disadvantage working remotely.

Active sticks have been in development for decades. They’re getting deployed on civilian crafts these days e.g. Gulf Stream’s top of the lines jets (though retrofitting them on existing planes is likely a ways away still).

I would assume the issues are / were around reliability, failure modes, certification and training rather than patents.
Plus, trilium has a self-hostable sync/web server. The data is stored in a database but you have the option to export as markdown/HTML.

Only issue is that its maintained privately by one person. I take this as a plus but it does mean that theirs a bus factor of one (unless someone else forks it).

No, you're not free to decline conscription. You'd go to jail.

Similarly, "free speech" doesn't mean you can't be fired for it, but it does mean you can't be criminally punished for it. Nothing in the Constitution requires the Federal government to pay for a state's highways.

They ought to ban overly long messages that require being broken up into multiple flashing parts, or any other flashing of the signs, or any overly bright luminence of the signs.

I've seen so many traffic jams caused by flashing signs, overly bright signs that get too much attention, or multi part messages that people get distracted by.
> do have the full ability to engage in normal human behaviors like humor.

Sure, nobody is saying they are here. What we are saying is that it can be likely that it would take someone who is ESL more time to parse humor or a joke, or the elderly, or even those with English as a first language. That time is best _not_ spent while you're operating a multi thousand pound weapon down a highway at 70MPH, where reaction times are a must and this is distracting.

Ah, but that sentence is footnoted, and the footnote simply says, "Availability and timing of Android OS upgrades and security updates may vary by device model and market."

Which doesnt tell me, for example, whether a reader with an arbitrary Samsung phone is in- or outside the tent. And is therefore something of a nothingburger.
I don’t think the implication was that immigrants are stupid or unable to engage in humor, but rather that English might not be their native language and that they may not be as familiar with pop culture references.
