This is exactly why I prefer GitLab's "radical transparency" approach, for all its warts.

>And why do that starting Dec 11th

It's tied to someone's year-end KPIs.

I got the same response: happy to know they're at least adding an "advanced input" mode or similar. To their credit Slack's support has always had good communication in my experience. Glad the feedback made it to the right team, and that they seem to be listening.

Seems like formatting characters are ignored in multi-line blocks (triple backticks) but not inline blocks (single backticks). Most people are upset about the latter.

Seems like it could be the expansion of the service from Messenger to Instagram and WhatsApp too that is the "launch".

>There will be a lot of output. We can grep for the open system call. But that will not really work since strace outputs everything to the standard error (stderr) stream. We can redirect the stderr to the standard output (stdout) stream with 2>&1.

Besides being a great explanation of htop, I like the way this article captures the way I - far from a shell guru - tend to think when putting together a few steps in the terminal. And even then it shows that it pays to read the man page too!

Wow, this one's actually crazy! https://grumpy.website/post/0Sar_W_5D

I already mis-swipe in my Reddit app and downvote instead of upvote... the "small" vs "large" swipe option feels like something that gets mis-input a lot. Okay for something inconsequential like votes, but I can't imagine deleting something I wanted to save because of it.

Funnily enough, something similar has been done with neural networks "physical-ized" in special glass panes.

Outline has been failing on almost any site I care to read recently. It's become far rarer to find an article that Outline works with, in my experience.

!mill in DDG :)

Peeves me that in order to control Spotify from Waze I have to agree to share my Waze location data w/ Spotify...

I really wish we had regulations that limited companies from blocking functionality behind data-walls.

in practice, no one uses the banks directly to send money like that: we use apps like Venmo / CashApp that take your debit card/bank info and act as an intermediary for sending/receiving money.

Alternatively, use !s to search StartPage and get Google results without having to load a Google webpage.

In my mind the true "hard part" would be in migrating business logic that lives in Oracle stored procedures (PL-SQL). Are there any tools that do a decent job in translating procs to non-Oracle dialects?

I tried a few Dyson vacs and was never much impressed by them. I got a Miele canister vac recently and that thing has blown me away with how effective it is. Quiet, powerful, and very well and thoughtfully designed.

How can one tell the difference between good and "garbage" lactose, then?

Agreed. There's really no new information here, just that a reporter got someone from an institute to speculate on corporate social media policy.

Sounds like something to worry about once we've achieved market domination.

Wow, this is a much better article; it even calls the myclobutanil connection, and a month earlier than NBC's story to boot.

Drat, scooped again...

That was my first thought: I'd be surprised if hedge funds don't already ingest this tracking data for their analytics.

You can also use the kOS mod for KSP and restrict yourself to only flying spacecraft for which you've written the control logic by hand :)

As was called out explicitly in Anna Wiener's article on HackerNews earlier this month, HNers have some distance to go in ability to discuss these topics.

At the very least it signals that your ranking of importance for a given issue may be lower than someone else's.

I do this, and I actually had to use it for the first time yesterday when calling a credit card company. The rep said "I'll need your security question answer... is this right? It looks like it's just a bunch of numbers and letters?"

Then I confirmed and started reading it out to her, and she hung up on me. I think I should move to correct-horse-battery-staple style in the future.

And here is the DOJ complaint: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/182_3109_fa...

I think there are still threats that come from improperly anonymized data, beyond my own government or a single stalker/harasser.

For one, that this data is improperly anonymized would make it an easy avenue for malicious nation-state actors to use to track/analyze/destabilize the population. If I am a government with an interest in freaking out the US public, I could quite easily de-anonymize sensitive datasets and begin using them for wide-scale harassment, identity theft, etc. on an automated basis.

The lowering of the bar makes it easier for Johnny Troublemaker to start harassing people based on their PII as well. Instead of paying for the data, just download some datasets and run a Julia notebook against them. Maybe not much changes for the targeted stalking case, but now you can cast a wide net when looking for someone to mess with.

Sentai Filmworks shared the campaign on their Twitter: https://twitter.com/SentaiFilmworks/status/11517265318966435... so it's at least not someone masquerading as the company.

And it has a great quote on the neural lace, from an AI whose hobby is mucking about in humans' heads: "A more exquisite and economical method of torturing creatures such as yourself has yet to be invented."

Pretty sure if I found one of my hives covered in those giant hornets, it would be time to find a new backyard hobby.
