If his leaving is unrelated, that would fall under the first possibility of the parent comment, no?

IIRC, they combined have about 51% voting shares

Per the article, they purposefully rolled back suppression of spammy results:

> In the March 2019 core update to search, which happened about a week before the end of the code yellow, was expected to be “one of the largest updates to search in a very long time. Yet when it launched, many found that the update mostly rolled back changes, and traffic was increasing to sites that had previously been suppressed by Google Search’s “Penguin” update from 2012 that specifically targeted spammy search results, as well as those hit by an update from an August 1, 2018, a few months after Gomes became Head of Search.

It said that he was one of the protestors that gathered outside the offices. It said that there are groups protesting outside and inside the offices. I imagine the latter group are all current employees.

I think that is a fork before the actual repo was made private.

XuezheMax's GitHub profile shows that his contributions in April were all to private repositories.

I turn Siri off because it's just not useful for me, so I don't see the Siri Suggestions. But I hate how it badgers me about setting Siri up in the Settings app every update. I have to turn it on and then off to get rid of the banner.

There have been superchargers in the parking lot of my local grocery store that were installed about 5 months ago that still are not open.

That behavior is pretty common with many terminals. Off the top of my head, I know the default macOS Terminal and Windows Terminal both behave like that where you need to change the default dimensions in the settings.

I personally prefer having the dimensions set to a default size and then resizing specific windows that require more space. But it should at least be an option to have it remember resizes.

That's true, but is anyone going to be up in arms because things are not side by side in an email?

I agree with others that emails should just be plain text. It has never bothered me or anyone else I've known to just have plain text and a link that sends them to an actual webpage if HTML is absolutely necessary.

How about not placing two divs alongside each other in the first place? Every time I see that, I immediately start looking for the unsubscribe link or mark it as spam.

> Imagine if every country had to be judged by the worst thing that happened in the country's history.

I think it's a little different considering less than 50 people live on the island. It's more comparable to a small neighborhood than a country.

It also seems uncharitable to describe this as a single event.

> None of this robustly prevents fingerprinting, but neither does switching to another browser or wiping your profile clean.

I'm by no means an expert, but doesn't the Mullvad browser in combination with a (trusted) VPN robustly prevent fingerprinting? It got a pretty good response when it was posted here a while ago. I'd be interested to know by someone more knowledgeable just how robustly it prevents fingerprinting.

No? They said they agreed. They were just clarifying that tickets don't fully cover the costs as implied by the parent comment.

You can restrict which countries your app is available in the App Store. Is there something in the policy that states your app can't be outside the App Store in EU but in the App Store elsewhere?

> The controllers are authenticated on modern consoles and have been for a long time. So by interface you'd have to mean like, a robotic hand.

If that's true, it must be easily bypassed because keyboard/mouse-to-controller adapters, like the XIM MATRIX, are still around after over a decade and work with the latest consoles (e.g., PS5).

I'm confused here. That quote clearly says that Flox makes Nix easier for newcomers, not that Nix is easy. What exactly do you take issue with?

Thank you for the correction. I knew it had something to do on Slack's end. I must've gotten the cause confused with something else, perhaps Discord.

It reminds me of the general idea of generative adversarial networks where instead of a teacher and learner, you have a one trying to learn real inputs from fake inputs while the other tries to trick the first with fakes, with both training each other and the ultimate goal is to have the latter create realistic fakes.

I'm sure it's been or is being researched, but since I'm new to LLMs, my immediate thought was having code-aware models where one tries to find and fix vulnerabilities in a codebase while another tries to exploit them where the ultimate goal is to secure a codebase.

IIRC, that's because Slack uses an older version of Electron/Chromium.

You can install WSL distros through the command line with:

  wsl --install -d <Distribution Name>

> especially anything network related

That's surprising. The last few Windows machines I've owned I've had to fiddle with networking stuff. In particular, they would all begin to intermittently lose internet access after about 6 months, requiring me to go through a series of steps to flush the DNS cache, renew IP, and reset winsock. On the other hand, I've never had a networking issue on a Mac for the 15 years I've owned them.

It's weird how much people's experience can vary on these types of things. I've heard networking being a headache on Macs from others too. I've just never experienced any issues before.

There's a ton of PDF forms that I deal with at work that only work with Adobe Acrobat. When I open them in other PDF viewers, it'll be a single page telling me that if the PDF doesn't load in a few seconds then my PDF viewer is not compatible with the document.

I'm not an expert, but I imagine that they were created with Acrobat and it embeds some (proprietary) stuff in the PDF that only works with Acrobat. Acrobat is also the only PDF client that I'm aware of that supports signing PDF forms with certificates. There's other features in some PDFs that I've encountered that'll only work in Acrobat as well, like buttons embedded in the PDF to email the form or dropdowns in the form that don't work in other viewers.

It seems pretty swampy to me when 90% of the PDF forms I deal with can only be (fully) completed in Acrobat.

If I recall correctly, that was their justification for no longer supporting it: too few people used it. Except it was tucked away in a small dropdown at the bottom of the customize toolbar screen, which requires right-clicking the toolbar to get to. If it was in the actual settings somewhere or, better yet, given as an option during the first launch flow, I imagine more people would've used it.

I didn't even know about it until after it became unsupported.

> of course I changed that scroll down instead of scroll up thing, I don't want to move up the bar to move down the page, that's just odd.

That's because the scrolling behavior with the mouse is annoyingly tied to the scrolling behavior of the trackpad, where the "natural scrolling" makes sense as a default because it's like you're moving the page up (similar to a phone) with two fingers rather than scrolling.

I hate having to constantly change it in the settings as I'm switching between trackpad and mouse. The settings need to be separated. Just let me have natural scrolling with the trackpad and regular scrolling when I'm using a mouse without needing to open the damn settings app.

> get back in to gaming

FTFY. They had their own game publishing arm since 1988, Disney Interactive Studios, and owned first-party studios like Avalanche Software, which was sold off to Warner Bros.

They shut it down in 2016.

It was forked over 10 years ago now. I doubt their shared past is even recognizable now.

"Multiplayer" seems like a weird term outside of video games, but I think it conveys multiple real-time concurrent users more than just "multi-user" would.

I'm late, but some Pokémon are quite similar to Dragon Quest monsters as well that came out 10+ years before Pokémon.

Not to mention that it required an exploit to do so.
