They're also on the way out because Google is moving to turn Chrome into a massive tracking black box on it's own.

There's no need to use cookie-based fingerprinting if you control ~97% of the browser market and you can just install the tracking tools directly in the software used and keep them active with maliciously crafted (dark pattern) popups.
asdf can be used as an alternative to pyenv. (In fact, it is not only meant for the Python ecosystem, so it can also replace nvm and others.)

For me, the combination of asdf and Poetry has worked quite well recently: I use asdf to pin the Python & Poetry version and then use Poetry to pin everything else.
It's a nice idea. Perhaps you could make it come up with more creative or catchy names?

Right now I only see it merging the two words in one way or the other.
I'd love to try this out, but I'm unsure how it would work with a language that has such different grammar from English. Would it just be vocabulary then? Or would it just be entire sentences in the language to accommodate for the grammar, and then would it switch to English?

Tagalog (a language from the Philippines) has many sentences that are the opposite order than in English.

For example, in English you'd say "The house is beautiful", but in Tagalog you'd say "Maganda ang bahay" which translates to "Beautiful the house" [0]. There's another free grammar book for Tagalog as well [1].

Interesting service.

Can the API provide a custom tag, comment or ID which will then be inserted in the output? Like in JPEG EXIF, PNG also knows Metadata, PDF description, HTML meta tag?
Normally, no. But in the hypothetical situation of Apple leaving the EU up for grabs for new players, maybe.
Meta doesn’t. Their products have never been available in China.
I've only used Python occasionally, and more than half of that time I ran into issues with the installed Python version or dependencies. Not only version 2 vs 3, but for example a certain project required exactly 3.11, not 3.10 or 3.12. Last time, I tried to install Caddy and broke all previously installed packages/commands - and after searching for a solution and trying different things, the best I could come up with was to switch versions (manually) before and after running a command to restore the environment.

Now I understand I should have been using Pyenv the whole time. But it sure felt unfriendly for a newcomer to the language/ecosystem. Granted my learning approach is to jump in without much preparation, I wish the language designers or the ecosystem provided a better experience when things don't work right.

First, I know a lot of people are very nice to their dogs, but...

I live in a large city, and based on the number of dogs locked away in apartments all day barking and bored to death with almost no stimulation, I figure dogs are certainly not the best friends of a lot of people. Instead, they are more like prisoners that illustrate the cruelness of humanity in general: these people use them as entertainment and care fairly little for their overall welfare.

This comment is pretty ignorant of the history of computing.

Apple tried to allow competition in their ecosystem. And all that happened is that vendors like Power Computing went straight for Apple's most profitable markets and nearly bankrupted the company.

The only reason Apple is successful is because people like the console-esque experience of having one vendor do everything.
But is local option really cheap?

From my experience it is quite the opposite: they know you have nowhere else to go so you will buy their connection anyway.
Especially interesting for neuromorphic computing hardware. Has already been shown by IBM's TrueNorth and NorthPole chips. Tough in my opinion, a major bottleneck, is the lack of bandwidth on these chips. They can be highly parallel for their circuits, though for example image data, only 28x28 pixels, would already need 784 DACs coming from a digital source.

The idea that any of this is or ever was a problem to the end user is laughable honestly, this is political theater. End users want to be able to browse the web, that’s the point of a web browser. Most of them are based on the same underlying technology and implementations. Throwing around political power to force OS teams to spend engineering resources on the illusion of choice is actively harmful for basically zero benefit to the end user.

> Everyone’s username is git. How does the server distinguish who is who?

I used to run a small gitolite/redmine installation for a few years. I found its solution to this problem very "unix"-y[0] - Just manage the `authorized_users` file to set the `command=` for each user individually. The file looks like:

command="[path]/gitolite-shell sitaram",[more options] ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA18S2t...

The gitolite-shell script gets the `$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND` from sshd, and uses that to pick the repo name/path. Then it uses the $ARGV to get the actual user. It can then decide on access rules.

For branch/tag restrictions, it uses git hooks that are setup at repo creation.

You seem extraordinarily sure that the definition of "provider" or "provides a service" (or even "end user") is universally and objectively understood by all, and yet you can't point me to the place where Redis (or anyone else) spells this out. Curious.

I agree. As long as they define their terms. Redis haven't. That's the point.

Just morning bathroom musings based on your posts (yep /g) and this got me thinking maybe the robust solution (once and for all for all languages) may require a rethink at the hardware level. The CPU bound issue comes down to systemic interrupt/resume I think; if this can be done fairly for n wip thread-of-execution with efficient queued context swaps (say maybe a cpu with n wip contexts) then the problem becomes a resource allocation issue. Your thoughts?

Not at all. The EU announced just days ago that they're investigating MS Entra+365

And Microsoft complied by unbundling Teams in the EEA:

My public library system used to have their catalogue on telnet. I liked it a lot because it was a simple, direct interface where you could look stuff up. Now decades later, I bring up the site and see it loads 120kb of fonts, or more than the entire data sent and received by a typical telnet session.

Ah...I wish websites were made to be more efficient. Sad.
They do, but Xbox isn't considered a large enough market to be considered a gatekeeper affected by the DMA. None of the major console makers are.

The platform must have any of the following to be a DMA gatekeeper:

* Market capitalization of at least €75 billion.

* More than €7.5 billion turnover from EEA residents.

* At least 45 million customers in EEA.

* At least 4.5 million business customers in EEA.

Once any of those criteria are met for 3 years, they qualify as a Gatekeeper. While the gaming market is massive, any individual console platform still sits pretty comfortably below those criteria. You can find the customer number by googling around a bit - Xbox only has around 3 million active customers if I'm not mistaken (counted by Xbox Live accounts that were active in the past year).

A platform truly needs to be collosal to be considered a Gatekeeper. This law is specifically for the large platforms, not small fry.

I don't know how the list is generated. But as others have pointed out, there seems to be established precedent that hardcoding Safari first would not be compliant. And alphabetizing would create bad incentives (Calling dibs on "Aardvark" as a browser name, BTW).

The problem I see with randomization is that with all the browsers that are skins on Chromium nowadays, this would be likely to steer users into a Chromium based browser.
whilst similar, an antitrust investigation is different than this one. Microsoft should be on both lists.

Extremely harsh? Many of these dogs are very smart. What about locking a human away for 8 hours with no internet, no books, no entertainment, nothing to do?

And it might be affection they give their dogs but it's not really love if they are so cruel. Besides, they wouldn't be strays if they were never bought, at least not a lot of them if the demand were lower, then so would the breeding and supply.
I think for many people that is the same ;). But I agree with your differentiation.
> Alcohol does a number on your senses

When I was a poor undergrad (and my friends were mostly poor undergrads), we'd buy (say) a six pack or twelve pack of good beer, and (say) a case of a budget brand.

After you've had a few of the good beers, the cheap stuff doesn't taste nearly as bad.

(note that I said as bad. I'm not claiming that it actually became good)

It turns out that this is a very old strategy. From the Bible:

“[US restrictions] forced Huawei to develop its own wireless chip and operating system, resulting in the technology behind the Mate 60 Pro.

This conversion is inherent in the problem of language and maths though - Two, too (misspelt), 2, duo, dos, $0.02, and one apple next to another apple, 0b10 and 二 can all represent the (fairly abstract) concept of two.

Like many product-led growth startups, Powered By marketing is one of our biggest marketing channels.

Senja forms, widgets and Walls of Love have a Powered By Senja badge.

They get clicked 1000s of times a year, driving product discovery and sign ups.

This is one of the reasons we have such an aggressive free tier - more users, more Powered By, more sign ups, more users.

We were happy with the badge performance, but didn't want to leave it untested.

So, for our most recent marketing experiment we decided to test if we could change the badge design, and increase the click through rate.

This simple change took a few hours to design, and few more for Wilson to implement.

We added view and click tracking at a badge level as before we'd only tracked referral in our PostHog analytics.

The result was a 40% uplift in clicks from the badge.

That's 12,000 visitors a year (based on current views on the badge, which are actually increasing)

Here's the exact results

Control
Views: 223,904
Clicks: 486
Click through rate: 0.217%

Test
Views: 221,950
Clicks: 676
Click through rate: 0.305%

Percentage increase: 40.55
One problem we have with renewables is that they are not remotely replacing fossil fuels. Another problem is that we can't store their energy efficiently (which we need because unlike nuclear power, we can't control the production).

The latter makes the former worse (because we lose some of that energy in the storage process).

The truth is that we need a mix of nuclear, renewable, and a ton of sobriety because after fossil fuels we will just live in a world with a lot less energy. And I don't think we can afford ignoring nuclear power.

BTW, just compare France and Germany. It seems pretty obvious that the french model (with nuclear power) works a lot better.
I can see that some people would think that, but it's a design that was converged on after several iterations and seems to have worked for both the regulators and the companies. I think both of the previous examples actually started with just enough entries for a single screen, and were later expanded to include more entries in a second tier.

From the user's perspective, having to make a choice from an unsorted list of hundreds or thousands of items would not work. That's why the regulators seem to accept the idea that not every product has the right to be on those choice lists, and not every listed product needs to be equally prominent. What's important is that the criteria are objective and don't give an unfair advantage to the platform owner.

AFAICT that's exactly what Starlink is trying to do. Their satellites are in a low enough orbit to provide sufficient bandwidth for light web browsing, and they certainly have enough satellites to provide reliable coverage (by satellite standards).

Thing is, satcom is still much more expensive, much slower, and much more power-hungry than what folks have gotten used to with broadband home internet, LTE, and 5G. I have the feeling that it will always be that way - it takes a lot more power to blast a signal into space than it does to send it to a tower down the street, or to the router in your living room. The section of the general population that is willing to make such huge tradeoffs in exchange for truly global coverage is quite small. Militaries and certain types of businesses love it, though.
