It is widely used in countries where the professional language is English, but the native language of the speakers is not.

For example, most Slavic languages don't have the same definite/indefinite article system English does, which means that whilst someone could speak and write excellent English, the correct usage of "a" and "the" is a constant conscious struggle, where having a tool to check and correct your working is really useful. In Greek, word order is not so important. And so on.

Spell check usually just doesn't cut it, and when it does (say, in Word), it usually isn't universally available.

Personally, I have long wanted such a system for German, which I am not native in. Lucky for me DeepL launched a similar product with German support.

A recent example for me was that I was universally using "bekommen" as a literal translation of "receive" in all sentences where I needed that word. Through DeepL I learned that the more appropriate word in a bunch of contexts is "erhalten", which is the sort of thing that I would never have got from a spell check.

That's simply not true. In order for consent to be valid under GDPR, the service should operate normally if you decline tracing cookies. Otherwise it's considered a "forced consent" and is not valid.

Hadn't realised there were that many FORTRAN programmers still around (in fairness, various languages have used 'subroutine' to describe various special cases of functions, or sometimes just all functions, but generally those languages have largely died out.)
IIRC morris chang indicated US operated fabs would cost ~50% higher, which is not cost competitive, well not something buyers would sign for without something happening behind the scenes (i.e. US gov pushes Nvidia and Apple to use Intel foundries). If A16 is $100 from TSMC TW, it's $150 from TMSC US, presumably $50 to BOM is something Apple can afford, but most others might not. List of companies who are willing to source at 50% limited (unless incentives).

This news could be bad for Taiwan
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-09-18/ty-article-li...

"use it or lose it" moment, allegedly.
What is the real risk here? The only thing they can really do is make the case that if China invades Taiwan then the US shouldn't get involved. There problem is they might well be right; if I compare Hong Kong and Ukraine, I'd expect Taiwan would be better off going with the HK model of an "invasion" rather than fighting an actual war with the world's #2 or arguably #1 economy. So I'm not sure what the case is for quelling the message; there are some important issues there to debate.

Even if we start with the questionable idea that the US has the moral and physical might to be deciding where the borders are drawn in Asia; it isn't obvious that TikTok would be influential enough to matter. The military-industrial complex lobbyists in the US have a lot of actual power in pushing for war and experience in getting messages to the public.
You know, part of the problem with the massive youth unemployment in China is that the Chinese, just like most people, don't want to work in blue collar advanced manufacturing. You might call jobs like consulting or investment banking as "useless jobs", but that kind of comfy white collar job is what everyone is sending their kids to university for.

Yes... the materialist says that consciousness is a manifestation of the material brain. But if the brain is a kind of computer the best formalism for it we have so far is the turing machine, which we know from cellular automata to be able to exist in a purely mathematical space, so materialism can't be correct.

The only way out from this paradox that can preserve materialism is to say that consciousness requires some feature of material reality that goes beyond turing completeness, perhaps quantum phenomena. shrug. Maybe so, but so far there is no evidence, and in the meantime AI is getting closer and closer to something like consciousness on plain old turing machine computers, no quantum computers required.
All I’m saying is that it’s really not as easy as your comments make it sound like. The problem with citing successful writers is the selection bias: you see only the successful cases and not the millions of failures.

If it were easier than before to sell books, we would see it in the data, but it’s the opposite: the market is oversaturated, and it’s harder now than before. There are 10 times more books published today than 20 years ago, and yet the overall profits made by book industry declined by almost 40% since that time (source: link in previous comment).
how is this measured? Because if it's by total vessels it's a poor comparison. If it's by total aircraft carrier, it's also a poor comparison.

Basically measuring this is difficult, but this is contrary to my only knowledge of this which was a Wendover video (that was an enjoyable watch), but I wouldn't hold in the highest standard.
You can add your own words to your account, if that’s what you mean!
United States Net Worth Brackets, Percentiles, and Top One Percent – Dqydj
I'm mainly curious if TSMC estimates that US fabs would cost 50% more is confirmed or not.
I believe this is more universal than just India.

I was born and lived most of my life in Brazil, the same dynamics apply over there, a bit less brutal and gruesome but the competition for limited resources create a work culture of overwork, of management abuse, of constant fear of losing your job, of anxiety someone else is working longer and harder than you so you need to compensate for that.

It's also similar on the education path, there are a few of very good Brazilian public universities (usually they are much better academically than private ones), entrance is through exams and most of my education was focused on passing those exams. Curriculum is tailored for what might be asked on the entrance exams, preparation for these exams (including mock exams) start also around age 15, etc.

I venture to say this is reality in most of the developing world, even more on countries on the middle income bracket like Brazil, India, etc., which aren't so poor that there are no opportunities but are poor enough that good opportunities are few and far between, competition for those spots is insane.

I don't think anyone growing up in developed countries can emotionally understand that, even though there's high competition for great universities, top jobs, etc., you can still live a very fulfilling and decent life without getting into Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Oxford, and so on. That's not really an option in poorer places, you either make it or you will live in some limbo where you earn enough to sustain yourself but don't have access to much else, it's a constant state of surviving to work without seeing upwards mobility.
Indian management in India almost always sucks.
> I do not know what unholy monkey patching they do

A year ago I had to patch its package for an internal use case. Their codebase is fairly well-written I thought (at least the JS SDK).

e.g. this is where they add the `fetch` breadcrumb

e.g. where the actual monkey patching happens

Beacuse it's a pager, and they're rather common in most of Egypt, Turkey and middle east countries for medical support and first-time responders.

I mean, the reason Hezbollah switched to those devices was also because they're readily available in the country.

I'd be extremely, extremely surprised if this was a "targeted" shipment rather than a generic batch that was expected to a certain degree to be bought by hezbollah members.
Absolutely plus one on this. LanguageTool is great and I’m also very happy on the free tier. With the app installed on macOS it also checks mails in the Apple Mail app, for example.

Where is the line between war and terrorism ?

This attack is quite indiscriminate. There are already videos circulating of random people being collateral damage.

Israel is losing the support of people more and more, and all that due to the crusade of Netanyahu to stay in power and to not be imprisoned for his former crimes.

Despicable. So much human suffering and for what ?
This also solves nothing. It's up to the ethics of the company how they chose to group "none" "essential" and "all" and what kind of server-side tracking they do anyway.. It's no harder to do the wrong thing with the current system, but at least the headers would be invisible to the user.

Alternatively: Only allow the website to set cookies if it presents headers with the different options, in a standardized way so the user can chose to pre-set a preference and not be bothered with the cookie nag modal.
There is no comprehensive information yet on the ratio of civilians to militants maimed by this attack, and any claims otherwise are propaganda.

If an enemy had exploded small remote controlled bombs in American supermarkets and homes targeting members of the American political parties, the sponsors of terrorism and oppressive dictatorships in many foreign countries, there is no question we would characterize it as a terrorist attack.
Yeah though within context of a single rule keeping that prop is pure overhead

Mozilla is hiring for positions in Gen AI and Ads
That can't be the reason. If the kernel crashes (or a driver, 'cause it's all the same in Win9x), then there's an instant BSOD, so there won't be any Task Manager, even if it's already loaded in memory.

I belive that's the way thing were done in those days. In Win95 the Start Menu was also in memory, with the entire menu tree, progam names, icons, and everything. It would open instantly. In Win98 they changed that. It would read the .lnk files form disk (or cache) every time it openend. But it added drag&drop editing! And IE integration. And Active Desktop. And web content in Explorer folders.
It’s okay. CTC bought Paderno, a Prince Edward Island perennial, to juice out more brand value after they’re done sucking T-Fal dry.

This list is so generic, so uninspired, that I'd of thought an AI generated it had it not been for the advertisement for the author's own book at the top and bottom of the page... Actually, I'm still not convinced it wasn't generated by an AI.

> The US was a shipbuilding superpower because it had what Europe did not, access to vast untapped timber. It wasn't until globalization that the US lost its shipbuilding industry.

Where did you get this information? The Spanish-American war wasn't considered much of a war by Americans at the time since the American fleet had been built with steel vs the Spanish that still used wooden ships. Those ships were run on coal. The US lost its shipbuilding industry because of cheaper competition from Japan and S. Korea in the civilian sector and Congress favors aircraft carriers over smaller ships like frigates and destroyers from what I read.
Dropping kilotons of aviation bombs on a populated city is indiscriminate. This is nothing in comparison to that. Frankly I would even call this surgical.

> there is no technical mechanism....

sigh There is the law.

The law that legitimate companies obey.

Such data protection law means I can trust my bank will not track me and provide my personal data (all the booze and fags I've spent money on) to my insurance company, and my insurance company cannot accept such data gathered 'unfairly'.

The only people who object to such data protection laws are scummy tech companies who haven't yet understood unnecessary personal data is now a liability, not an asset.
Well, he did fail to prevent it.

Americans also love to praise George Washington, but he too, didn't lift a finger to prevent 9/11.
It's related because that past suggests a history of being untrustworthy. I mean we're talking about running a company that literally stole money from people and intentionally infected peoples computers to try to trick them into giving you more money, not just something he did by accident one weekend but something he dedicated years of his life to. Him leaning heavily on how he worked at a company two decades ago doesn't help. Other than the scam company shut down by washington state, what has he done since?

As for the particular claim regarding the start menu, What he actually claimed is that his implementation was removed in production builds. However, at the same time, there's no evidence of it in any of the various Beta and release candidate versions of NT4. Not only that, but prior to the NT4 betas, it was effectively the NT 3.51 "Desktop Shell Update" and none of the releases of that have his claimed implementation. So when and where is it?

He states "I wrote the programmatic version in '94 and we ran it internally". The issue is that there really was no "NT4 beta" at that point in time, nor any start menu in NT to add his rotated text code to. It was only around the start of 1994 that what would be known as the Taskbar and Start Menu really appeared in Chicago milestones- we know he isn't referring to those, since 9x didn't support the needed LOGFONT structures. What would become the start menu on Windows NT only appeared with the "Newshell" project which was preview software that you installed on NT 3.51 to add the Windows 95 enhanced shell. originally a desktop update for Windows NT 3.51 which started around the time of 95's release in, well, 1995. There's no evidence of his special code there- in fact the NT 3.51 Desktop Shell Update previews all used a bitmap.

And you might think, ahh, hew must mean before that, but the rotation feature in question, I believe, was new to NT4 altogether- so it would presumably have appeared somewhere during the betas.

The problem with his claims seems to be that evidence never seems particular forthcoming. When new information comes out he retracts claims and re-titles videos in order to move his claim into "gaps" where his claims are less falsifiable.
Thank you for the documentary link. I've been looking for a certain Pärt video I came across years and years ago without success. But now took a small peak to that and I think this is it!
I guess you've never been in most of middle east. Pagers, shortwave radios and "80s technology" are still widely deployed among the general population.
Wow that was fast, is this a regular timeframe to get a new fab working?

From the conversations about China catching up on smaller chips I got the impression that it takes loads of iterations around how to calibrate the machines but it seems TSMC nailed it not only on Taiwan but also overseas very fast.
That's a Veblen deep cut; thus far I'm only familiar with his big hit book (and Heinlein's The Roads Must Roll & TMIAHM). Legamus!

Interesting section III; from what I can tell the Union had figured out the nonrivalry of knowledge (delivering blueprints with their televisions, "what you have learned, teach your buddy" as a Pioneer House motto, "I want to know everything", etc.) but were somehow relying on it to get to a "beautiful far away"[0] in which people did sexy things like recite poetry, learn circus acts, and time travel back to the 1980s, instead of the future which Jane Jacobs had predicted, in which as soon as you invent CAM, you also have to invent all sorts of new schlep jobs revolving around the care and feeding of CAM cells.

Can you explicate your view of designori for me? I've a superficial knowledge of Bauhaus and Fuller, and a little familiar with https://www.artcenter.edu , but no knowledge of AAPL beyond https://www.globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/201... , so I'm not sure if the overarching end-to-end emphasis is what you have in mind?

Not far from Romer is https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/aer.20160696 which to me implies that if one had control over a central bank, it'd be possible to steer a course allowing just as much Schumpeterian destruction[1] as maintains a socially desirable[2] level of employment?

TL;DR:

Applications should not use getaddrinfo(). Because for the connect by name, the OS or app SDK can parallelize the entire multi-step lookup and connection process, not just step by step:

“Now, I’m not saying that all implementations of these APIs [Java, Apple Foundation, etc., doing connect by name] necessarily do the right thing today, but if applications are using these APIs, then the implementations can be improved over time.”

“The difference with getaddrinfo() and similar APIs is that they fundamentally can’t be improved over time. The API definition is that they return you a full list of addresses, so they have to wait until they have that full list to give you. There’s no way getaddrinfo can return you a partial list and then later give you some more.”

The deck's position on implementation of happy-eyeballs (which could sound dismissive here but is treated as "you had one job" important by the deck), is finding a way to avoid waiting 5 seconds for either side of IPv4 vs. IPv5 stack to timeout before finishing connection setup and serving the user a web page.

Regardless, even if they renew the certification, they aren't obliged to expose in the classical POSIX APIs more than what the certification requires in features, or happens to be optional, implementation defined.

I wouldn't wish to be in the PR damage control team of Gold Apollo right now.

This was a direct attack to their survival as company. Will they sue Israeli government for turning their product into a bomb used to mutilate and kill people? Seems not probable.

Will they sue the Hungarian company making the bombs? That would be a more realistic target. Now Hezbollah has an excuse to attack Hungary interests in the EU and the conflict could escalate. That company should be crushed and closed for good by the Hungarian law system IMO. Either you are a military grade company or you aren't.

If Gold Apollo wants to keep selling pagers, better they start making all the carcasses on their products transparent from now on. With a big photo in the boxes showing how the correct product must look.

This is quite surprising to me. My (admittedly limited) understanding of R is that it's focused on data analysis and graph generation. What need does react solve in that context?
That's the same kind of question I had with other apps, and why I decided to build one myself. I will keep the current features free forever, and add more advance stats, alerts, maybe AI suggestions based on past activities, but those will be on a pro plan for sure. I am also working on a data exporting feature (it's listed in the features section as "soon"), because the data belongs to each dog owner, so it would be fair to let you export it whenever you want.
When it come to monetization, there are several ways one can do it, without getting rid of the free tier.
