You came across antagonistic, but fair enough, thanks for the apology.

Let me put it this way. I understand that you can block YouTube ads and have the techicnal means to block them at the DNS level. I also understand I can run different frontends for YouTube, but it is flat out easier and faster for me personally to not do that and to pay $22.99 a month for my entire family to enjoy ad free content. Time is money.

Also, I play a decent amount of video games and I send money monthly to content creators on said games I play. If something brings value to my life or makes things easier, I will pay for it. Just because I pay for something you do not like doesn't mean I don't support content creators via other means.
I've held on to my external DVD drive for years, but I don't think I've plugged it into any of my Macbooks for 7? 8? more? years.
A statistic.

The comment above was about reflecting on comparitive policies in G20 nations.
Every year some bills pass with wide bipartisan support. That isn't any guarantee that the bill is any good -- the Patriot Act passed with entirely too many votes in favor -- but in most cases they're simply bills with low opposition. Provide counseling for veterans or something.

Which is exactly what you get when you find the right solution and nobody has any reason to object to it. But if you haven't found the right solution, go back and try harder instead of passing something wrong.

How could the music rights run out? That seems like a horrible way to license music for use in a TV show. I find the idea of this very upsetting.
Your comment seems to suggest that you're viewing this event from outside the US. If so, perhaps you're unaware of the dangerous and recent rise in violent political rhetoric here. Garry Tan is a prominent and powerful person in the tech industry, and his words carry weight. When he rips violent lyrics out of a hip-hop song and refashions them into a political rant, he's pouring more fuel on a fire that's starting to burn out of control.

Garry Tan should know better. As an earlier article mentioned [1], he was previously quoted as saying "this kind of stuff should have zero place in San Francisco politics," referring to an activist's taunt that millionaires and landlords should be guillotined.

But they always will be. The people who desire power are the very people who should not have it.
When you ask people about "what PWA standards are you talking about" people inevitably bring up Chrome's half-baked non-standards half of which both Safari and Firefox are in opposition to.

WebMIDI is just one such example. Safari and Firefox were against it. Then Firefox relented and implemented it, and ran into tracking literally the day after they released it.

Others are WebUSB, WebHID, WebSerial etc.

It's refreshing to see people discussing something else like Origin Private Filesystem for a change.
> Apple released an update a few years ago the cleared the contents of localStorage and indexeddb for an origin if the user hadn't visited in 14 days.

> This makes it hard for purely offline PWAs to store data offline.

That restriction doesn’t apply to installed PWAs, only websites.
Thanks - I will keep an eye out for the deals! The AI features are such a hit and miss. Sometimes Grammarly will seriously improve my email, but many suggestions, especially around being positive and confident, are usually very wrong.

Have you noticed any degradation of traditional corrections? Recently, Grammarly started correcting its own earlier corrections in, if I allowed it, an infinite loop.

FWIW, a few years ago Google didn't allow Grammarly; I don't know the current status.

I don't want to come across as too negative about Grammarly; it is useful and has an enormous potential. I hope the company finds its way.
I always kind of liked Apollo, but I never saw what was so exceptional about it. These days, I use Narwhal 2, and I can't say I miss any functionality from Apollo. For my use, Narwhal is just as good as Apollo on the iPhone, and vastly superior on the iPad.

Yes but Python is nice to write. Postgres functions are not. At least not to me.
No, they're not allowed because they don't want to follow the same laws that Chinese companies have to follow. The rules are the same for Chinese companies and those from other countries.
Strange then that Firefox is siding with Apple when it comes to many of these "standards"

I embarked on my programming journey without access to a computer. After graduating from university, I began my career as a .NET developer in a company. However, my passion for Linux and open source steered me in a different direction - towards becoming a Linux system administrator. Subsequently, the advent of DevOps prompted me to join a company where I contributed to building an automation solution using SaltStack, Python and Jinja.

Five years ago, I made a transition to working as a software engineer, focusing primarily on backend development in various domains such as fintech and e-commmerce.
I'm not sure what you think you did here, but juxtaposing climate change with copyright squabbles really brings out how much of a first-world-problem such squabbles really are.
I can't buy this kind of argument anymore. How about the external effect of AI steering the entire semiconductor industry to increase GPU/NPU capacity?
Acceptance can be wise, but this is not a 10 year old problem. Look at your oven; unless you are very lucky (or picky, if you bought it yourself), it has terrible UX.

Most people don’t care enough about UX to make purchasing decisions based on it. Therefore, most companies don’t prioritize it. Therefore, most product designers have no incentive to care about UX.

This has always been true.
Pretty sure a few FPSes had this option too, but can't remember for sure.
> An interesting detail is that it has a physical switch to turn it off.

It is the switch for turning the computer on. The original power supplies all had it on the box.

I had my power supply on the floor under the desk and was used to flipping it on and off with my foot. I used the heavy supply from my A500 with a A1200 later.
John Kiriakou didn't. Nor did other prominent leaks that are not directly related to the CIA but are adjacent, such as Snowden or Manning. "Everyone" is trivially disprovable.

Are you going to pretend that the emissions caused by the enormous usage of energy by ML training and inference are not a thing?

Also, I wouldn’t morally have a problem with AI companies violating copyright if they weren’t hypocritical about it and open-sourced their software.

Anyways, the main message of the analogy is that you can’t just wave away the moral responsibility for the consequences of your actions. It wasn’t supposed to be a comparison of severity.
I imagine the physical switch and the grilles are a tribute to the original power supplies (A500: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wbYAAOSwW1JlX0FB/s-l1600.jpg). The site doesn't give any hint about the color, but I would bet it will be beige...

That being said, the claim that it works with "any 12V-capable USB-C power supply" sounds very ambitious. Is any 12-V capable USB-C power supply capable of delivering 60+ watts?
Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of the color code system. There's some additional nuance to it, but a code red is an immediate existential threat to the business.

It's OK. If the client tries to write a nasty tweet about you, or email a lawyer about you, it will "help" the client, by telling them this is offensive and blocking the action.

Doubly so if you try to uninstall it.
honestly thanks for responding in good faith/spirits, probably was a bit overly snarky

I appreciate the thought put into the answer, and I do grasp that the point is that the EU system has converged on much faster resolution times than the US and different social systems based on that etc. There just always are tons and tons of weird edge-cases (what if you get a court-ordered transaction reversal or order to the bank somehow etc) that lead to the same "you're overdrafted, and you have to pay up and then pay a fee..."
At one point I was explaining to a friend what they had done "wrong" when trying to use the YouTube TV app, walking them through a bug involving multiple UI steps and how I worked around it.

Stepping back for a moment and assessing how much expertise I had developed in a skill that shouldn't exist, I realized I needed to get rid of my "smart" TV. I haven't had a TV in my house in years now.
ROS2 is also not ROS. I believe they fixed some of the mistakes. I'm not sure about catkin though, it's the worst build system I've experienced. And it sure likes to integrate itself everywhere, making it really hard to move away from it.

I personally put some logic in the database especially when I’m expressing constraints. If it’s there it means another engineer can’t go directly to the database to bypass these constraints. (By logic, I’m meaning for example a transaction can only transition between states if it’s in a required state).

When it comes to debugging, versioning, deployment all these live alongside the code and are managed via migrations. Testing it is done as an integration test with the rest of the system.

It helps that we don’t use an ORM and deal with SQL everywhere.
The US military has known this for a long time, it just chooses to bury its head in the sand and ignore it.

See e.g. MC02 where they lost to opfor with what was literally like a cheaply thrown together zerg rush, and then just reset the scenario for a do-over.
reader macros create Lisp data.

The compiler/interpreter gets as input Lisp data. Let's use READ, DESCRIBE and EVAL to see that working:

CL-USER 17 > (defun example (&aux input result)
(terpri) ; newline
(write-string "Input> ")
(finish-output)
(terpri)
(setf input (read)) ; reading from input stream
(terpri)
(describe input) ; what did we read?
(terpri)
(write-string "Output>")
(setf result (eval input)) ; evaluation
(terpri)
(write-string "Result>")
(print result) ; printing the result
(values)) ; return nothing
EXAMPLE

CL-USER 18 > (example)

Input>
(progn
(print (+ 1 3))
(print 'done))

(PROGN (PRINT (+ 1 3)) (PRINT (QUOTE DONE))) is a LIST
0 PROGN
1 (PRINT (+ 1 3))
2 (PRINT (QUOTE DONE))
Output>
4
DONE
Result>
DONE

As you can see READ in actual Lisp takes input from the keyboard and returns a list as data.

EVAL is then taking code as a list and evaluates it to a value, as side effects there might be printed output of the program.
DRM is what prevented me from buying movies on iTunes. Music I bought there, because it was DRM free.

As long as DRM exists, it’s only worth renting, imo. “Buying” media with DRM is essentially an expensive long-term rental. It will last as long as the company decides to keep the servers up to support it.
Dystopia is excellent not only because it's free but because it is great for people with poor eyesight like myself, allowing for pretty big fonts that are broken on the official iOS Reddit App. The only alternative way I've found to achieve this is to browse Reddit with Safari and use page zoom.

I'm still missing Apollo quite a lot. Narwhal2 is good and comes close but it's not exactly there.
I thought lasers right into the eye were the best option? At least that was presented as the 'holy grail' in a VR book I read in the early 90's (must have been this one, although my German edition looks very different: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Howard-Rheingold/dp/0671778978).
I’ll be the first to admit it wasn’t properly calculated. I do think there’s some benefit to personal safety due to the selection bias and process for the people around you.

Where I live (not in the US) it definitely seems like it's cheaper to rent, but finding a rental can be problematic when you're older.

Can't see past the paywall in the linked article. What was the surprising finding?
Depending on what kind of deployment you have, you could use Tcl, Rust, or even Python if you could use untrusted extensions. (Not a comment on this particularly testing framework, but Postgres server-side programming more generally.)

But I hear you, PgSQL can be very annoying and unergonomic, and it's not a language most people you're hiring will know upfront. Pushing things onto the backend isn't unreasonable. When I write tests for PgSQL, I write them in Python and run them from the client side, not on the server.
Not OP, but most of the people I know above 30 don't "go out" on weekday evenings nor regular weekends tbh. Even people without kids.
Various trips and meets in friends' houses during the day (usually Sunday) is the main form of socializing.
Feeling queasy then sleeping for a day sounds like more like the 24 hour flu than something blood sugar related.
The government-run national libraries (think Library of Congress and similar) at least have the mandate for long-term archival.

Bitrot isn't as much a concern any more - we have data formats worked out these days, with well defined specifications and open standards (PDF/A), so basically as long as computers keep operating on the fundamental principle of bits and bytes, our documents will always be able to be read, and for virtually all popular data storage formats there is open source software that can, should the need arise, be run in an emulator.

In fact, future historians should have it easier to understand our times, given that machines can actually sift through data at speed and you don't need humans to tediously take and scan brittle paper, and a lot of data is replicated so often across the planet that even a nuclear war should leave at least one copy alive in contrast to earlier times where wars, fires and natural disasters would routinely wipe out entire nations' memories. (Doesn't stop people from trying though, just look at the book burnings in Ukraine committed by Russia)

The dark era IMHO more concerns pre-MS Windows computing and everything related to gaming. The former because a lot of data there (hole punch cards...) literally rotted away, the latter because of decades worth of homegrown architectures, all kinds of DRM, a lack of obligations for publishers to submit DRM-free copies and copies of the server backend code to national libraries, and the current "trend" towards e-stores for games instead of physical media.
i'm interested as well.
>How different is this?

Hardware decoding / encoding all of those video streams requires a lot of processing power on both ends, adds 10s of ms of latency, and makes the video quality worse.
Short answer - usually individual app developers, even of Google’s size, need the platform (iOS) more than the platform needs them. This means Apple has historically driven hard bargains with even the most popular apps. Now Apple is launching a new platform (visionOS) the 3 most popular in their categories - YouTube, Netflix and Spotify decided that visionOS needs them more than they need visionOS. For now.

It’s possible they might use this leverage to negotiate better terms on iOS. For example, Netflix would like to offer in app subscriptions and to keep more the revenue without sharing with Apple.

If Apple sells millions of visionOS devices then that gives Apple more leverage and these 3 might come crawling back.

> Color functions seems a bit weird to bring up since back then Apple were the only ones using higher gamut displays making the color functions useless for everyone but them, while also doing their best to hamper the web making the color functions useless for everyone including them.

Totally false.

In Apple's blog post "Wide Gamut Color in CSS with Display-P3" (posted March 2, 2020), Apple includes the fact that non-Apple devices shipped with wide gamut displays:

- Google Pixel 2 XL

- Google Pixel 3

- HTC U11+

- OnePlus 6

They even provided a Wikipedia link [2] that links to an article with addition devices.

The hardware wasn't the issue; Chrome and the other browsers that ran on Android back then didn't support wide gamut displays. That's not Apple's fault; they were going out of their way to promote wide gamut/Display P3 as something good for the web.

Finally, Safari/WebKit has wide gamut support starting in 2016 [3] by implementing web standards that Google, Mozilla, etc. have access to.

No. The focus of a laser beam is not constant over these large distances. It is the same effect you get if you use a laser pointer over large distances. The spot becomes large quickly.
Last time I looked into it there was a lot of variability. It seemed some of it came down to care, and some of it was just luck.

If you care about the stuff in those 1994 CD-Rs and don’t have a backup, it may be worth making a copy while they still work. It could last the rest of your life and be fine… or not.
This! It's not even about the family. I think it just gets boring and unnecessarily exhausting after 10+ years so it transforms to trips, mid-day visits at home and various shared hobbies (like you meet with your friends to go bouldering Saturday morning, idk).
Attention in the Digital Age
Before the big Ma Bell split up, due to them being a monopoly, even local calls were often charged.

And long distance rates were horrible, and there were none of these independents.

Back then, there wasn't a reason, because such call devices cost hard cash per call. And it's really only gotten super bad the last decade.
It used to be like that.

This is the problem with the public understanding of patents - something superficially similar like "measuring someone doing exercise" is only a patent violation if the method used is the same as the patented invention. The Wii and Kinect use remote sensors based on video. Clearly that isn't the same idea as your former boss's patent.

You can live a healthy lifestyle and have obstructive sleep apnea. Do you know anything about this at all?
Not really. For many things there is no "safe" level, eg. airborne PM2.5 pollution or lead.

What you say is a bit of a common sense rule of thumb usually used for stuff we digest and poop out.

So that may rule out microplastics, which was shown to cross into tissue (including lungs) which means it would accumulate. And definitely nanoplastic, as those enter even individual cells and screw up their mechanics.

I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years we would consider no safe level of micro/nanoplastic exposure. Maybe we would already if not for the interests of manufacturers and oil industry.
I guess I should have put quotes around “But for some reason”. They aren’t doing it out of the goodness of their flinty hearts.
But with lasers, it makes sense to route your packets via space. For example traffic to a different continent would be faster (and cheaper) through space. Furthermore, I assume lasers have more capacity than gateways, so they could increase capacity of one satellite by bundling with more gateways.
