> One of those new OLEDs that look so nice, but that have fringing issues because of their non-standard subpixel structure
From what I understood, it's even worse. Not just non standard, but multiple incompatible ways subpixel layouts OLEDs have. That's the reason freetype didn't implement subpixel rendering for OLEDs and it's a reason to avoid OLEDs when you need to work with text.
Stop trying to revise history. The Jews in Palestine were living happily alongside the Muslims. Problems didn’t start until the European Jews arrived to implement Zionism.
The end of Ottoman Empire was decades before Zionist terrorists founded Israel (Lehi, Irgun, Haganah). These are facts.
Israel was founded on theft and by ethnically cleansing Palestine of its indigenous people through non-stop atrocities and terrorism. Literally most of Israel’s first prime-minister were terrorists. Even Jews like Einstein recognized this at the time and refused to be associated with the Zionist project.
Just admit it and then it becomes possible to find a solution that doesn’t require murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian children to ethnically cleanse Palestinians that won’t give up their right to return.
Just a thought: I think it would be neat if you could include one of Mathew Butterick’s fonts (https://matthewbutterick.com/), as a fellow lawyer/software developer. I don’t know how practical that is, but it’s a smallish club and they are very pretty fonts.
because usa forced elections to palestine assembly in 2006 despite objections of israel and pa government (which was afraid that hamas that will win).
when hamas won, usa was horrified by outcome and "sponsored" PA security forces to get rid of hamas in gaza, but hamas prevailed and killed everybody who were against (throwing from buildings, dragging behind bikes) it or tortured them into submission
To add: I can provide information about the data security practices of the tools, including details on data sharing, any identified security vulnerabilities, and their access to sensitive data.
But given that 0.0001% of deaths occur in commercial airline crashes, worrying about this demonstrates that you don't actually care about the statistics.
In all fairness, some of these things you've mentioned could be useful. If your battery is low, reprioritize the webapp's functions, lower requests, disable anything not necessary in the moment.
Notifications are just another convenient thing that me and you use every day.
Perhaps these things should be disabled by default, or requested upon being needed, but that's not really your argument it would seem.
It's a comedic adventure novel set in the Minecraft universe.
Actually I forgot there's a second one he read all the way through, for which he defined the initial concept and early plot, but then the rest of the plot and the writing were all done by GPT-4.5.
As of when I left Meta nearly two years ago (although I would be absolutely shocked if this isn’t still the case) Jemalloc is the allocator, and is statically linked into every single binary running at the company.
> Or I wonder if they could simply use tcmalloc or another allocator these days?
Jemalloc is very deeply integrated there, so this is a lot harder than it sounds. From the telemetry being plumbed through in Strobelight, to applications using every highly Jemalloc-specific extension under the sun (e.g. manually created arenas with custom extent hooks), to the convergent evolution of applications being written in ways such that they perform optimally with respect to Jemalloc’s exact behavior.
So many sites ask for permission to send notifications that have zero reason to do so. Why would I want push notifications from a shopping or news site?
So you're out there protesting that they're deporting Afghans who are here legally, who served alongside our military and would likely be killed if they were sent home, right?
> I'd even argue the general idea of capitalism is virtuous by default.
I wouldn't, in my opinion:
Capitalism incentivizes selfishness at the detriment of others that are "playing the [capitalism] game" or anti-competitive practices. It also pushes people to hoard resources - think Tragedy of the Commons or anti-competitive practices in general. The incentive is to reduce the amount of resources available to competition while increasing your holdings, allowing you to repeat the loop but with higher chances of success.
Providing something others find useful seems like a lucky side effect that often isn't even true, there's a lot of industries who have no intention of providing something useful (like stock trading, short trading especially). Most companies are trying to reduce costs as much as possible, reducing the usefulness of their product/service to the lowest point that people will still pay for.
But I agree with your other points - just because capitalism breeds selfishness it doesn't mean all parties are going to the extremes.
Totally agree about findings. In fact, oppositional researchers should be given the opportunity -- by law -- to refute claims. They should be given 100% access to all the evidence for a period of time.
> The previous administration let millions and millions of completely unvetted and undocumented immigrants into our county, creating an unprecedented crisis.
that's a boldfaced lie.
there were fewer illegal immigrants in 2022 (under Biden) then in 2018 (under Trump) [0]
Consumers don't care about your code, only what it does for them. If your crappy software provides its intended service quickly, accurately, and reliably enough, your customers consider it a win. Any further improvements on those axes are just gravy -- expensive gravy.
I despise how my university's login system just redirects several times (sometimes getting stuck, reloading and redirecting multiples times, and then occasionally shitting me out on the logged out screen, wondering WTF happened).
I cannot fathom how their IT staff allows things to be that way. One redirect ideally. Two max. Three, and I'm assuming you don't know what you're doing, at all.
And since lots of EV batteries seem to lose capacity very slowly after the first 10-15%, and you can keep your battery trading in the happiest range, there's a lot of potential for the extra hassle to be worth the paycheck.
My preferred workflow as well, but now many websites are starting to do this thing where you have to enter only your username, hit next, and then the password input shows up; however, the username only input breaks my password manager from trying to autofill! Argh
