I worked at Tableau until very recently and I can't think of any way that the Salesforce acquisition has improved things yet (I do think it will eventually improve things). Did you hear about anything specific?

What's a "shop bunny suit"?

Why not allow people to set a cap that disables everything set to that billing method once it's been reached? That seems to be the use case that people are saying is missing from cloud offerings.

> it's your comparison

Nope

> To everyone else, putting it as nicely as possible, it's very off.

As one of the other people, I disagree.

Also note that a lot of the trade regulation groups like the bar associations also ensure a good standing in the "community", so they would sanction whatever equivalent lawyers have to dark patterns, if they were frequent enough/egregious enough.

Yes, and it seems to be a fair comparison to me. Both the unsafe situations and fraudulent situations can be avoided by the adherence to standards, which the software industry currently does not have. The other industries mentioned do, and they seem to work quite well.

Have you ever had Lustucru ? They're pretty good

I think in this context that would count as having a backup

What?

Does anyone know what the likelyhood of the 4.2B being paid out is? I imagine that UBS will go through all possible appeals processes.

Also if the article is right in that this was affected by the protests, then that is a big win for protesting.

Is there any other benefit than scaling better? Because I'm pretty sure 99.9% of projects never hit the "need to scale more" part, and if they did it doesn't seem like this would be too difficult to move off of

I'm surprised compiler warnings haven't come up yet in this discussion. Checking if an unsigned number is smaller than zero typically triggers one, and code style tools can be set to treat any such check as a compilation error/not allow code with such a check to be checked in.

But it didn't use to be? From the article it sounds like it used to be a "traditional pastry"

Because they have reason to beleive it can cause liver damage?

Most countries have a body regulating what you can eat that will do it's best to stop you from ingesting dangerous amounts of, well, anything.

It seems like the EU explicitly made it so the cinnamon rolls wouldn't be affected:

> The EU's regulations on a common type of cinnamon called cassia limit how much bakers can use: 50 milligrams per kilogram of dough, if it's a traditional or seasonal pastry, or 15 milligrams per kilogram if it's just a regular old everyday pastry.

But the Denmark decided their traditional seasonal pastry was an everyday one

> This particular kerfuffle comes because the Danish food authority recently classified kanelsnegler, or cinnamon rolls, as an everyday pastry

So really this is the "fault" of the Danish government, isn't it?

Sounds like this is more of a "Denmark problem" than an "EU problem", unless you think the EU should simply not legislate the use of products that can cause health issues when present in high quantities in food (in this case cinnamon)

Put a timer on the reset - Allow them to start the reset process, but make it so it takes a while (At least a few days), and during that time make sure any successfully logged in person on that account sees large warnings that someone is resetting their 2FA. This ensures that whoever actually owns the account can react in time to stop a takeover, at the cost of making the reset process kindda painful.

That's pretty incredible - they let it run unsupervised? Or did the jogger just faint for a very short time period?

But that implies you _only_ run Slack.

Mind sharing some screenshot/archive links? I have no idea how to use 4chan

> Somehow, I was not the usual target of this person's attentions. Unfortunately, my neighbor and friend was. He'd get the brunt of the blather and had no way out of it.

Of course, the guy could also be punished for the same behavior

I use and like DDG and I assure you I am in no way paid by DDG. If they bragged about it on a forum I would expect there to be an archive of it somewhere (as well as discussions about it). Googling (and ducking) yields no articles or discussions about this.

> when you're a top tier 10x developer you get to either destroy the social fabric of the world

Wait are you saying that game developers are destroying the social fabric of the world?

Not necessarily - it could just change your anonymous ID frequently enough that it would be impossible to know which vehicle did what. If you can't track a single car then you don't know if a car started and another parked where it used to be or if a car just drove past a parked car (assuming the data is not unreasonably precise).

Why take a private bus over a private ferry?

Isn't the Bloomberg thing literally about hacking? Or are you talking about a different China Bloomberg article than I am

if they've already got the fever then it's a bit late for that

wait are you saying fixed width fonts are only useful for manual formatting? because I find they make it much easier to read code.

If you don't mind, could you list the other things that make you prefer periscope to tableau? Also when you say R and python scripting, do you mean using them to prepare your data or to do something else?

Even though I'm inclined to beleive you, that's not really a rebuttal to what the parent comment said.

I assume you mean the night light button in the action center?

If so I would argue f.lux does a lot more. For one thing you can choose the hue it goes to, but also unlike the Windows 10 one which (AFAIK) is simply on/off, f.lux will adjust based on a schedule which means that you don't typically notice the effects (as the change happens slowly). This, combined with the ability to change damn near every parameter it uses, makes f.lux significantly better.

Edit: apparently windows does have hue adjustment and sunset/sunrise activation/deactivation available. TIL.
