Ah right my mistake, I was conflating two things. The trend in road bike tyres lately is to be wider, because wider tyres have lower rolling resistance at the same pressure. It allows you, in turn, to lower the pressure and get the comfort and other benefits of lower pressure, without sacrificing performance.
Assuming we start from the position of having a unique, never-before-seen password for each account (which is what we should all be doing, right?), rotating doesn't do anything.

And if we accept that most people don't use unique, never-before-seen passwords and that a password has been included in a plaintext dump, rotating passwords periodically doesn't even protect from password spray attacks, since someone has likely used that password before and you'll still be vulnerable.

The strap makes all the difference. The strap that comes with the Meta Quest 3 (weighs 18.2 ounces) is awful and makes it hard to wear it for more than 30 min or so but Meta makes an "Elite Strap" that I find really comfortable so on some days during the Christmas break I was able to put 5 hours into Asgard's Wrath 2.

It really is so unfair! Is it like this in other countries too? Like US, UK, Germany, etc.? I'd really like to know how this system works in other developed countries of the world.
I have another explanation. Lets start with what the article says, but doesn't explain:

> And now, in Anno Domini 2024, Google has lost its edge in search. There are plenty of things it can’t find. There are compelling alternatives.

My theory is A/B testing or other research led then to short term optimization after short term optimization:

- a new design was tested that made ads more like ordinary links - profit increased (I am not saying this was on purpose to trick people, only I think experiments were made and their results guided the design)

- research in some form or another showed that most users reacted positively when search was made less hard core by removing or significantly reducing the effect of search operators like doublequotes

- etc etc

- meanwhile content farms and more legitimate web sites on the other side were also experimenting

- at some points the old engineers started to leave search and indexing and indexing deteriorates

Still everything worked for a while:

- DuckDuckGo were still worse and did all the same things: didn't prioritize results correctly, ignored search operators etc.

- Same goes for Bing until GPT

But at some point Google has optimized its result and its workforce to where we are today:

- results are as bad as the search engines they replaced

- the once clean results have been optimized step by step until most of the page above fold is ads

- search operators are gone

- and meanwhile Kagi and others have snuck up and snatched us that used to tell people to use Google

Google is a sad mess now IMO, but I guess every step on the way to were we are today was a measureable improvement.
Your original claim wasn’t scoped to shareholder returns, but even as a shareholder (which I happen to be) throwing away their reputation & goodwill is a concern. Only a few businesses like ISPs have something like a natural monopoly insulating them from the long-term impacts of that loss. Saying it’s doing fine sounds a lot like the people saying it was good to have accountants in charge of IBM in the 90s, who were right until it was too late to recover.

The problem isn’t just size but business model: Apple does much better because they have never lost track of the need to have each user actively choose their products. The ad business is different since, say, a Maps user is not who gives Google revenue and that makes it easier not to respect them, with consequences which are not immediately coupled to revenue.
Oh, I’m sure it isn’t. I just wanted to emphasize that I’m in Europe (central) and what they sell as bananas here may not be the exact same thing as somewhere where you can eat them fresh.
The timing sucked for me, though. In 2007 I was between jobs and after the announcement was ready to jump into making apps but thwarted because it was not possible. By 2008 I was employed again and missed the gold rush.
true, but let's not paint the bike shed here: you can have all the best policies, and hackers and inside threats ruin all of it. If I'm going to trust a cloud provider with (say) multimedia, I trust YouTube and Google Photos a lot more than random small providers, who sound good until the next hack.
You get reserve, not reserve_exact. You are right that it would be allowed to implement reserve_exact semantics instead, given the method comment. But that’s not how it works, if you want reserve_exact semantics, you need to take extra steps. That said, the semantics are not exactly the same as reserve. The go compiler may optimize since allocations (I don’t know if it does though).

Yeah but imagine who the other mods are.
I speed run Zelda 2, though using an SNES controller. My experience with 8BitDo controllers is that they're stiffer than OEM, especially with the d-pad arrow keys. If you can use the analog inputs, they're great -- I use a Pro 2 with my Switch all the time. The d-pad, though, is a deal-breaker for classic gaming. iBuffalo used to make a controller that really did feel like OEM, but they've been out of the business for a few years.
I think clearly a major failing to not immediately announce to the public that a mass shooter is driving a replica police car. That’s beyond even the other details that didn’t clue the government off that he was up to no good (like withdrawing half a million in cash from a bank account).
Yeah I was wondering about this as well. To what extent were the greek myths known in that part of the world at that time? A brief googling suggests that from the 6th century onward there were various transcriptions of greek texts (Boethius, for example), but it's not 100% clear to me what was known / available in Britain in the 10th century, specifically.

Apparently Irish monks preserved some ancient Greek texts after the collapse of Rome. Interesting stuff!
Your frankly-speaking somewhat condescending reply fails to address the issue. This has nothing to do with the client software, which is claws-mail in this case. My organization does not enable 2-factor authentication. Once they do, claws-mail can be configured to use "App passwords."

But if you look at my other post, quotes of Google's own documentation of "App passwords" and various testimony in this thread do not inspire much confidence that this will work as an acceptable long-term solution. As I said elsewhere, the rationale behind all of this seems to be anti-competitive behavior. It's not new idea to disguise anti-competitive behavior as security issues (cf. e.g. Apple's code signing and Gatekeeper). This also explains the misleading and incorrect term "Less Secure Apps" Google uses.
If you rent less than about 150 hours/year, you probably can't own for less money. (The first minute each year costs about $20K [calendar-based maintenance, hangar, insurance, databases/avionics subscriptions]; every hour after that costs less than renting.)

Most people who own do so for flexibility rather than savings. It usually costs more to own, but it also lets you get a plane you probably can't rent, configure it the way you want, leave all the headsets and supplies in the plane, fly it when you want without scheduling, fly it somewhere and stay for a week without paying daily minimums, etc.
There is much more to these stories than you seem to know. It somewhat evidences the effectiveness of propaganda and censorship in this country. Wikipedia is written by the CIA. NPR and Japantimes are state affiliated media that weave narratives to their interest. If more Americans were allowed to hear the Russian perspective of the story, Ukraine would not be quite such a disaster today. I suggest widening your information sources to include independent media and foreign (non NATO) media sources. We should aspire to truth by looking at issues from many angles.
> If we use your logic, everyone should be found to be a risk, because everyone is capable of harm, and there's no cutoff so .01% chance of harm is enough.

You are overly fixated on trying to get a hard quantified numeric chance, I think. People--maybe not everybody, but the vast majority--aren't trying to evaluate probabilities to come up with a number they can test against some standard amount. And if you try to force them to come up with a number, that number is mostly going to come out of thin air.

"Risk" is something that is likely enough to occur that you want to mitigate the possibility of it happening. If there is a risk of rain today, for example, you will bring an umbrella with you when you go out. How likely does that have to be for people to consider it a "risk" of rain? Well, it's going to vary, but you're going to find a general agreement that something like 0.01% isn't a risk but 30% is.

So is this a squishy standard? Yes. Is it vague? Not really. I mean, there are edge cases where people will disagree. But if you try to pin down a more precise definition, you will likely find more definitions than people articulating them, and a whole lot of cantankerous arguing over something that will have the net effect of replicating the same results. In the end, it just doesn't matter. The net standard is looking at somebody, and asking yourself the question "do I feel that this person poses a sufficient risk to warrant temporary suspension of liberty;" the legal requirements end up being more of a framework to explain why you came to the decision you did.
I fail to see what's nonsense about comparing an extension to a format to the format it extends.

I think he meant the literal weight of the vehicle, which is ~6,500lb IIRC. It isn't exactly a standard usage, as it is a 1/2 ton truck by normal truck standards.
It is very much the same in the US. Some states and cities have implemented a so called "ban the box" law, but most of the country has not. I've filled out many background check, employment applications, rental application etc that will ask "have you ever been arrested or charged with a crime", and regardless of circumstance will deny you if you say yes. If you are found innocent, or charges dropped because they messed up the evidence etc, doesn't matter.

This is completely different from what you claimed

There is zero information about how many countries have any coal plants at all or how many are building new ones.

The only information in the quote is about phasing out.

I'm assuming that a LVT replaces property tax. And that a skyscraper's property tax divided over the nearby footprint is pretty high.

I think that's reasonable.

If LVT doesn't replace property tax, well we already have land value as a component of property tax; I'm assessed for land value and improvements value.

If property tax on a skyscraper isn't very high, then the whole discussion is kind of moot.

> what people call DevOps these days is just a nightmare.

I agree! It's taken on a, "you'll know it when you see it," kind of definition and it's hard to pinpoint what "DevOps" is and whether your organization is practising it.

And so I've often seen it become a veneer for the original "silos" it was meant to break down: those handful of developers who still want nothing to do with managing their code and services in production get to throw code over the wall and someone else gets to hold the pager and keep it running, make it fast, etc.

In other words, the company hires "devops" which becomes a new title for "system administrator," and everything stays the same.

Platform engineering, devops, it's all evolving... but some things never seem to change.
I coded on one of them. It was ok for a short period. The blurriness and ghosting, especially on the corners and edges made it pretty tiring after a while.

Nothing wrong with having clear boundaries and different owners across high-quality data sources, but IME "silo" usually comes up in the context of egregious data duplication and ambiguous sources of truth.

The phone is not that bad for reading.

Granted, reading PDFs is harder. But reading webpages is mostly fine.

Why do you think nothing will be done? You aren't required to stop a project just because you've identified a single negative impact. If you can't trust your government to make good decisions even when presented with all the information, then you need a new government.

To answer your questions, yes anybody involved with making phones should be fully aware of their negative effects, and yes an environmental impact assessment should assess all environmental impacts, including positive ones.
That was great I'd like more info. I'm not sure how Jobs figured web apps would've been practical given a lot of things were still using flash at the time.

We didn't have frameworks like React back then, as far as I know there was pretty much JQuery.

But considering how a lot of projects are moving to web technology these days, it sort of showed how forward thinking he was...

In Chrome on Windows it shows a back-and-forth bouncing progressbar that is not at all similar to the system's indeterminate progress bar styling. I've never seen this used elsewhere, other than here in this Chromium implementation of <progress>. It's (mostly*) not objectionable but it definitely doesn't blend in.

* Suffers from a newbie trap: if you're going to bounce back and forth, you need to make sure there's a frame where the bouncer is all the way at the end of the control before the direction switches. This implementation doesn't, so sometimes the moment when it hits the edge of the progressbar happens between frames, so you miss the actual bump which looks disconcerting.

I've never seen a window manager that treats subdivisions of the screen like 1:1 physical monitors at the OS level.

They generally just resize windows, take over the entire monitor when you click "fullscreen", and display errors/prompts in the middle of the monitor, overlapping your other windows. Similarly, these subdivisions can't themselves host virtual desktop spaces.

Surely there's some Linux window manager that does all of this and more, but I'm never going to fuss with that when I can plug in a few cheap monitors and they work the same way immediately and consistently, out-of-the-box, on any OS.

It is not. Science fiction has colored our view of the rest of the solar system.

People underestimate how nasty Mars is to live on. We'd be better off building colonies on the moon then trying to colonize Mars.

Imagine a nuclear holocaust on Earth, but far worse. That's Mars. The radiation is crazy. It's the equivalent radiation to being about 1 mile away from the center of the bomb dropped on a Hiroshima, every year. The air will make you pass out in seconds. The soil can't grow anything, not because of the UV radiation that sterilizes everything but because of perchlorates in the soil. You would need to live in a clean room on Mars because they build up in your system and slowly kill you. Never mind the low gravity.

And that's just scratching the surface. Mars isn't some nice place where we can set up a colony. It's a disaster zone of unimagined scale that no amount of money can do anything about.
I've been using GNU/Linux exclusively since 2012 and while I've seen fewer kernel panics than blue screens, I have seen some. Usually due to the Intel graphics driver (of all things). I don't recall ever having one caused by AMDGPU, but that may just be a lucky coincidence. But every OS has problems, my favourite one was OSX Yosemite hard rebooting whenever I ran a Xubuntu VM on VirtualBox.
The problem with these companies is the stat padder employees these days.

How many people do you genuinely know who are actual well.. engineers or at least creative minded?

90% of the people I meet these days (I’m in Bay Area) who work in tech just want to get these companies on their resume. People whose bio is basically I’m ex meta ex Amazon ex google.

When most of your employees are only in it for the money and prestige, and nothing more, imo this dullness and stagnation is what you get.

It’s quite toxic.. a culture focused on TC instead of creativity and earnest. Just people chasing a check for the sake of it.

Compare that to the innovations that came out of these companies prior to the mid 2010s. Everything “cool” since then has just been to support their massive scale and not really to promote new and interesting things.

Just my opinion.
