Interesting website I found. Seems like many of the dating scammers use fake images of other people.

I don't know how many people are gettting scammed by these people, but there is a voting system and there are people with over 100+ votes...

For example: https://datingscammer.info/gallery/woman/hannah-brooks-9903....

Sorry for the new account, my other account I set the procrastination for max time on accident lol.

It doesn’t? I’m confused I mean no one used pure HTML anymore everyone has at least some JavaScript GA is a JavaScript file that can be used to track people pretty reliably.
Pure html nowadays is paradoxically harder to maintain though.
Not to their employees. I don't believe many people's careers were harmed by having Google on their CVs for only 1 year.

I was thinking this as well, but I'm still not sure 23andMe is to blame. Everyone who signed up to the site knowingly shared their information with accounts that were not 2FA protected. The service was unsafe but the question is weather or not the users should have known that. You can't sue the knife company if you cut yourself, after all.
Please don't call me pedantic.

What I am explaining is that in practice you have to use the second code, because of how operating systems work. This can be handled by a windowing library (SDL, GLFW, Sokol), and the adapters for libraries like Dear Imgui, Nuklear, etc. also expect the second code.

There are ways to skip processing events in some OSs, but this is not really advised by OS writers, and in some cases you will get subpar experience, apps that don't close correctly, etc.
> marketplace to be as wild wild west with fake goods / junk / stolen good fencing / disappearing sellers no better than eBay.

My home is half full of things from flea markets where all of the above apply a lot. Yet they're still a great place to shop with caveat emptor shields on high.

Amazon has just become the biggest best flea market ever and the other half of my things are from there. So while all you say is true it is still a tremendous value to me. Sure you can't trust the sellers. So I don't, and it still works over all.
I think the point is that you can provide really good, lightweight, uncomplicated access to data in pure HTML, but instead websites keep creating "solutions" and complications to non-problems, and turning simple things more complicated for no reason.
That's a super interesting article and point of view. So, in your opinion, what's missing?
There's a difference between legally navigable and practically navigable. The Dee has a public right of navigation and therefore is tagged as boat=yes in OpenStreetMap. That's not to make any judgement as to whether or not you can get your boat through the Chester weirgate!

The Mersey ought to be tagged with boat=yes, though. I'm now wondering about Walton Lock which I think still has a right of navigation though is very definitely impassable...
I am not sure Amazon has become as bad as everyone seems to suggest it is. I still buy from amazon frequently and never have a problem.

The thing with Amazon is there customer service is great, so if something does go wrong then you can sort it.

The other thing is to avoid the more dodgy looking listings and to buy only from amazon direct or shipped by Amazon and a fairly trusted brand.

Not sure if Amazon US is much worse than Amazon UK though. Ebay can be a bit more annoying to talk too, it takes much longer, amazon can be sorted in a quick 5 minute chat on there website.
Spotify Shares Its Vision for In-App Purchases Ahead of EU Regulation
Generally, an organism's phenotypes (observable characteristics) are a combination of its genes and its environment.

It's a bit like saying "These twins are genetically identical despite growing up at different altitudes, so how can their skin tone be so different?"
I have, however, seen the Canal and River Trust's assets stolen from their working boats (steel fencing, tools, the door or something off an excavator if I heard the guy correctly). Not by boaters, but by the nearby travellers.
Probably because they also significantly regressed page load times when they decided to asynchronously load the most important part of the page (i.e. the source file or Readme you are navigating to).

> If somebody accesses a Facebook account; and uses it to view intentionally-shared information on 500 people connected to that person; is that Facebook's fault for having that feature?

I am amazed at the depth of confusion data causes. And the amount of blame deflection that goes on.

Here is a medicine for clarity - imagine data is money, because it is. It’s your money, and someone is holding it for you, someone like a bank.

So the scenario is - a hacker fakes identity of 14,000 people and empties out the bank accounts. Bank does nothing to stop suspicious activity of a single customer pretending to be 14,000 and has poor authentication. whose fault is that?
My guess would be that they expect massive and irresponsible conversion of wild areas into farmland.
As Italian I totally confirm and relate :)
Lots of other disciplines care about quality.
That is a huge amount of data you can get at. You do not even have to be a 'nefarious hacker'. Just open a legit account sub your DNA and you have access to a lot of data. The way this company has framed the narrative around this interesting as 'those terrible hackers did this to you users'. Isnt the math something like go back 7 generations and everyone is related to everyone.

Why would following the lead of the single organization that has the most authority in this area an issue?

They’ve made it clear they have their own auditors stepping in to assess Boeing’s processes, which doesn’t signal “lost”, and most of the public would see that comment about the FAA as a good thing I’d think.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/22/more-top-...

There is plenty of evidence that engineers in the CEO seat are effective drivers of companies and shareholder value. This is false equivalence reasoning presented over and over in this thread and I dare say this opinion is quite antiquated and precisely the thinking that has put Boeing on its current destructive course.

It's more complicated than that, though. If they did in fact use pirated content to train their models, that's almost certainly illegal. It's still not well understood whether they used illegal sources or not, and that should be determined in court.

Inference is where things get more muddled. If I download a pirated copy of La La Land, that's illegal. However, if I watch it and then explain the plot of the movie to you in detail, that's fair use. It remains an open question whether or not inference via an LLM represents fair use or not.
One thing nobody's talking about is the loss of the R&D tax credit - engineer salaries must now be amortized over 5 years (15 for overseas) driving $billions in taxes being sucked out of the tech industry.

Taxi Location Simulator with Kafka, MQTT, Zilla, and Open Street Maps
I built this demo for a conference last year. It simulates taxis sending their location via MQTT to the Zilla MQTT broker, which proxies them onto Kafka topics. The map UI talks to Kafka with Zilla's REST and gRPC endpoints. Check out my blog post or the repo to see how it works.
No. This just says some engineers can (like some MBAs). There is no intrinsic link between being an engineer and being a great CEO. Most engineers are not executives.
How many of us can reasonably say our job isn't bullshit.

I make AAA video games, my industry does not add anything to society.

I used to make eCommerce websites, what does that add to society? Easier access to consumerism? Most of the eCommerce sites were selling "bullshit goods" like toys, kitsch gifts or pranks.

Very few among us do something substantial that actually improves or saves lives.

Fewer still will be reading this comment.

This is a really good article. I do not know how to reach the author as there is one thing that bothers me about his default config. He set CAKE rtt to 30ms which is OK, so long as 98% or so of the sites he wants to reach are within 30ms. Otherwise the default of 100ms is scaled to be able to manage bandwidth efficiently to sites around the world, and has been shown to work pretty well to real RTTs of 280ms. In general I have been recommending the rtt be set lower with the world consisting of CDNs, but not to 30ms.

Delighted to see vyos pick it up!

Next is the shaping vs variable rate issue, on outbound and inbound. On outbound - Ideally the fq_codel or cake algorithms are located right on the bottleneck link, and respond to changes in the available bandwidth from the upstream dynamically (asserted by ethernet pause frames for example), and managed underneath by BQL (ethernet) or AQL (some wifi(ath10k,ath11k, mt76, mt79)) , though true native fq_codel support exists for the ath9k) which store up enough data only to service one interrupt. These algorithms are much (20x!) lighter weight than shaping to a fixed rate is, and like I said

Codel was designed to deal with variable rate links. A fixed shaping rate was not what we intended, but has become one of the most common and finicky use cases, dang it. It is the FQ that matters most in most cases, however.

On inbound shaping, it's a SWAG, where we recommend 85% or so of the provided rate as a starting point. You might need more, you might need less, due to the behaviors of "slow start" in particular, it is never going to be accurate enough, and we keep encouraging the ISPs merely to manage their own egress well enough (ideally dynamically and without a shaper) so inbound shaping is not needed. Libreqos/preseem/bequant/paraqum all make middleboxes that do ISP level shaping. Libreqos (for whom I work these days) has pushed CAKE to where an ISP can do 10k subscribers at 25Gbit at 50% of cpu on a cheap ($2k) Xeon or Ryzen box.

So you get something that works well on the rrul test... in the morning but not the evening. Folk then complain that their bandwidth from their provider is variable rate and shaping via their other box does not work all the time, and I go back to hoping more ISPs get told how fix it at, egress, truly right at their end.

There is another project which perhaps can be ported to vyos, called cake-autorate, which attempts to use active measurements to cope with variable rates.
Nail on head, and if I had to stack rank the highest to lowest contribution I would say:

1, 2, 4, 3, 5

Rates rule everything around you. Macro.

Hiring standards absolutely went out the door. I remember being on interview panels in 2020-2021 and it was - more open roles, less candidates per role, higher fill rate per role, fewer interview rounds per role.

Tax code seems to be a big factor and being called out by journalists in the know. It's also telling that FAANGs are winding down / shrinking their more "moonshot" and "researchy" areas that have no real products or high staff to actual product ratios.

I think 3&5 are much lesser impact but certainly there.
Few months ago had a similar story. I gave a negative review regarding a car rental service abroatd. These people literally swindled me. Long story short, I wrote a really long description of the whole story. Explained with dates and what the customer reps said on our numerous calls. Few days later the review had been flagged for "breaking the Google therms of reviewing". I submited an appeal on my suspended review. Few days later it has been confirmed that the review will be deleted. Well, why are there reviews if people can't freely express their opinions? More so, why this review has been rejected?! I submited during the years hundres of different reviews - both positive and negative.
The board orders subordinates to be safe and cheap. When safety fails to materialize without throwing money at the problem they pretend it's not their fault. What's missing is not care, but commitment. Care without commitment is wishful thinking and I'm sure there's plenty of that.
>Does the US not have any kind of auto regulations governing visibility at all?

Apparently not, considering the topic of TFA
For sure as of today GitHub is a web app, but it's questionable whether it should forces you to use it as one. In essence, GitHub is just a remote server for a .git folder. This does not need any JS.

I see that GitHub now tries to become at the same time a social media for hacker-friendly people and some sort of super-CI server with automation. For sure these are good features. However I also see why people are sad that the old (and defining) functionalities stopped working without JS.(look at commit, browse the sources, read and submit issues / PR and code review). It saddens me a bit to often see working websites getting more and more complex, adding more and more features, probably to remain "fancy" and competitive.
What defines them as middle class then?

It seems more like "Americans believe middle class has shrunk, drastically."
…and also how much big tech companies want to block the spread of this misinformation.

Because, for example, X/twitter knows that the same (misinformation) article/link is shared by 100 accounts created few days before. But X doesn’t block the sharing of this link/article because it makes more money as it is more shared/interacted.

Law makers should write some rules on this.
Seems like identifying your library with a git tag would drop that risk to zero.

I guess what I'm not understanding here is the utility. Why is it useful to include multiple versions of a library in a project? Is this a limitation I've been coding around without knowing it?

Google Cloud did not let me verify my billing account
I signed up for Google Cloud (free tier) just to try it out. I made the smallest compute VM and played with it.

Just after two days I got an email saying that I need to verify my billing account, or they will shut down my account by May. So I gave them the documents they asked for.

Well, apparently that was not enough. I got another email saying I need to take better photos of my documents. So, I tried to do just that.

Except this time the the verification page did not even open. I tried it multiple times, using Brave and Chromium. I even tried to open it with my phone on desktop mode. Nothing worked.

After that I gave up and deleted my billing account. Because I don't want Google to think I am abusing Google Cloud and delete my Google account. That account is tied to my bank and brokerage accounts as well.

Maybe I should migrate those accounts. For VPS I am going back to using AWS Lightsail.
Will things get better? Suicide and the possibility of waiting to find out
Doubtful. Rather every fault they find is something they don't have to fix later on.

In any event, having their own people monitoring seems like a win-win overall.
I don’t know about wine, but coffee do tastes different. Very different.

Compare a pour over at home with a cheap supermarket brand and a espresso at a fancy coffee shop. You can say they all deliver the same “pleasure” to you and it they are interchangeably experiences, but probably they effectively taste different. Unless you have a problem with your tasting sense.
Idk man youve really extrpolated some light ribbing about a silly bike into some seriously obnoxious and incinsiderate behaviour. Not the same
Most my personal and side-business projects have very spiky load or just low load in general. Because of that I love using AWS Lambda as my backend since it scales to 0 and scales to whatever you have your limits set at.

I use SST [0] for my backend with NodeJS (TypeScript) and Vue (Quasar) for my frontend. For my database I use either Postgres or DynamoDB if the fit is right (Single Table Design is really neat). For Postgres I like Neon [1] though their recent pricing changes make it less appealing.

> I still buy from amazon frequently and never have a problem.

Amazon's problem is that it commingles inventory in such a way that counterfeits get mixed with legitimate products across sellers. In light of which I have to ask why you think you've never been bitten (and keeping in mind that counterfeits aren't always obvious; ex. lead looks like any other metal)
What Is Civilization?
Very large % of stuff on Amazon US is 3rd party sellers.

There are plenty of reports of 3rd party sellers subbing in rebranded/relabelled goods like SSDs/HDDs/SD cards where you take a cheaps/low one and re-market it as a high speed high price one.

Agreed Amazon absolutely has great customer service for buyers.
Yeah, that is my issue with all that climate-saving, top-down efforts. Normal people have to ditch everything: meat, travels, stoves. And they probably really should, but EVERYONE should do that. Yet, those that advice or enforce such polices always have some excuse that justifies their exclusion from their own policies.

So it is not that suprising that there so much resistance, because it really is just another way for the rich and powerful to keep poor people in their places.
GitHub displays text! And is representative of a trend of websites that really only display text requiring JavaScript to work.

Which is fine ... but something has gone wrong somewhere if we require a full blown programming language to display text on the internet. It is absurd. It is one thing for HTML with a bit of extra JS on the side, but to be unable to display text without scripting enabled is comedy.

And if nothing else this really makes searching and indexing harder. That isn't good for the average internet denizen.
Conspiracy theory: The “Dynamic Island” widget sounds very similar to the name of Brett Victor’s consulting shop, Dynamicland.

Between this and Scott Kirby (United CEO) saying they're removing the MAX10 from future planning, Boeing is in serious trouble, and Airbus should definitely break out the _good_ champagne.
Funny that issues, and all other pages mostly work. Just the code page doesn't show.

The least important part, I guess. /s
Of course not, but I often have colleagues qualify some coffee as "excellent" and some other as "terrible" and I cannot ever tell the two apart.
You can't really use dead code elimination on debug symbols, because you don't know which symbols will you need. You would need to know where and how will your program crash or if the user will want to use a debugger on it.
How does this compare to PaddleOCR?

Looks like Apache 2 license which is nice.

It goes against the principles of the semantic web

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web

This is a really important point, because the worldwide web (www) was designed for openness, collaboration, and compatibility.

This is also the origin of ideas like XML, which were designed to have schemas, namespaces, and transformability.

A lot of principal ideas have been lost in the name of productivity or profitability.
Which is undermining innovation, free data movement.
Also, JavaScript also used to be a weapon in the browser wars for creating incompatibilities in browsers (see Internet Explorer).

So the saga is rather complex.
But the conclusion is clear: if you care, insist on openness and compatibility on the web.
And study the classics, the original design principles of the web, and their motivations.
Do they taste different though
Roasting certainly changes the flavor of coffee, but can you really tell the difference from coffee bean X and coffee bean Y roasted the same way?
What is civilization? A myth.
Sure. But it turns out that wood ideally takes multiple years to dry, and the vast majority of people don't collect wood from the forest 2 years in advance. (Think about the effective interest rate on your time - you are putting in effort 2 years before seeing the benefits).

Instead, they collect wood 1 month before they use it (saving that 'interest'), and live with the fact their stove is a bit smokey.

But they are unaware that their smokey stove is giving them lung cancer and making their family sick too.

A stove design that could handle wet wood efficiently and without giving out deadly smoke would save a lot of lives and help the environment.
I've noticed this too and this is why I leave at least 5 car lengths in front of me, sometimes even more. I can see around the vehicle in front of me no problem, and can absorb the energy for those rush hour random stops. It seems like 9 out of 10 people follow with less than 3 car lengths, even at 60 to 80mph. This leaves no room for error and anecdotally I've seen it bite people many times.

The 5+ car length strategy has served me extremely well in many years of a 2 hour commute. I can't remember once where I had to panic brake due to being surprised by a random 70mph to 0mph stop, and I can only assume that I'm helping drivers behind me get to their destination safely as well due to absorbing that slinky effect.

The only con is people jump in front of me here and there, but that doesn't bother me one bit.
Mid-sized cities are struggling with growing pains
but that's because if they flew over water and had a depressurization event then the plane and everyone on it dies. There aren't a lot of airports between the continental US and Hawaii and jets burn an insane amount of fuel at 10,000' MSL, which almost guarantees a water landing. However, over land, the plane can simply divert and land. And at the time of the incident, Alaska believes the problem was with the light/sensor and not the structure.
The classic American example for me was always "ten/tin", "pen/pin", which in my Southern neck of the woods are typically homophones. My girlfriend is Midwestern, and definitely pronounces the "e" more in those variants.
