I suppose you are right about that actually. Makes me wonder why they chose to implement scanning of files destined for icloud (locally) when it's already a feature of icloud?

> While rare, sometimes it's a problem with the compiler. Otherwise, it's always DNS.

I don't quite understand this one? Does it refer to domain name server? So if you're having network issues it's always DNS problems?

> Corollary: Most code out there is terrible. Sometimes it's easier to write a better version yourself.

I never cut-and-paste directly from stack overflow. I cut from several sources, combine the best practices and adapt everything to make something novel, and hopefully "better". But i think it's important that you understand what it does before you use it. This might seem self-evident, but my experience tells me not everyone agrees with this methodology. If i find inspiration to a solution, i usually leave a link to the original source or stack overflow page.

Sure, but so does icloud and onedrive. And while i don't like that either, at least one can opt out of it. The only way to realistically opt out of this new system is to not use an iOS device. And i'm just wondering how long until they want to scan your mac as well.

the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Just to give another perspective. I vape pretty much every evening. It's just a small amount and it's also is heavy on CBD. After all my work is done.

I can't say i perform any worse in any regard than i did before (didn't use to partake a few years ago). But i also eat clean, sleep enough, exercise and so on. I also keep my tolerance in check. The latter may be because of the CBD, that should in theory also prevent some of long term effects of THC.

Bottom line, i think it's is highly individual to the person and also what product is used. Cannabis is a highly complex substance, unlike say alcohol (IMHO). You may have to try out a few combinations before you find one that suits you and your chemistry/biology.

As AI and machines enables the same output with less work, if the men at the top fires the people that are subsequently "not needed" and put that money in their own pockets, we're on the way to a very bad place. Ideally, the extra income that AI and machines enable, would end up in everyone's pockets, and the extra free time as well.

I don't think the latter is what is happening though, hence the 312-to-1 ratio.

Best thing i ever did; https://udse.de/reboot-blocker The website is in German, but it really works, in contrast to a hundred other hacks to achieve this. Truthfully tho, Windows 10 is IMHO a joke. They could just have continued polishing windows 7 and i would personally have been pretty happy. I suspect i'm not alone in thinking this way.

same for me with firefox 85 on desktop

This is not aimed personally at you; i've always had a problem understanding why big companies need to dominate all the market? If i have a successful local business, it's not hurting me that others do as well. I don't need to expand all over the globe to be successful. What's wrong with google not operating in china? Why can't google flourish as it is without dominating the market? I think you get my point here so i won't give more examples. I never did understand why people and organizations want to accumulate extreme amounts of power and wealth either. Like the bad guys in many movies. Of course that would defeat the purpose of the movie, but i often found myself thinking that if they spent half of that energy to the betterment of them selves (and others), it would probably be a pretty sweet life.

I just replied to another comment saying i do exactly the same and how the rest of the internet is mad up of copy-pasted (many times faked) reviews and auto-generated content (or auto translations) which is just infuriating.

The thing is, at some point this is probably gonna happen to reddit as well, so enjoy it while it lasts. Just the other day i read in a subreddit about people being offered things in return for favorable reviews on certain products on those subreddits. Sigh.

Same! The web is full of auto generated crap and copy-pasted reviews and whatnot. Reddit is the new google in this regard. We'll see how long it lasts.

Same. I'd rather be without than paying another subscription. I have to vote with my wallet, it's the only way i can influence the situation. Subscriptions create lock-in and dependence. Just sell the product and charge for big updates.

People often defend these kind of acts with the rationale that it is a culture heritage. If so, shouldn't they be sailing the ocean with traditional wooden sailboats and relying only on wind and currents to take them where they should go?

Almost all google products are really weak on Q&A. It's very sad that a software giant, a leader, a "role model" such as google can not do better. IMHO they should set an example for the rest of the industry.

Badly coded apps (web pages or what have you) are unfortunately the norm in todays society, not the exception. Release now, fix later (if ever).

I often think about this when my boss or clients wants me to rush things (i.e. skip testing, refactoring, write spaghetti code etc). Maybe that will save them money in the short term. But if you look at it from a larger scale, in the long term and also all the other people it will affect, i'm not sure it will actually be cheaper for society as a whole. You can imagine the butterfly effects it will have, and when everyone does it. It's mentality i wish would go away quickly.

Awesome stuff! I don't understand why this post isn't more popular around here?

This is exactly what i need. For too long i've felt that there is too much magic happening in the js and front end tooling world. More often than not, tutorials and guides just brush the basics aside and expect you to be fine with cloning the newest github biolerplate with x and y features and get on with it. That is usually fine until you hit a bug, or some non standard behavior because of the tooling setup. I think if you really want to learn for example react you owe it to yourself to learn the basics or you'll regret it later. And besides, most of these boilerplates usually bring considerable feature blot with it IMHO.

I've grown too comfortable relying on prebuilt boilerplates. Time to get my hands dirty. If just for the learning experince.

Works well with pyqt as well. It's a dream environment writing cross platform apps, and since they're compiled, distribution (especially on win/osx) is really simple. Highly recommended!

I'll be really sad if that's the case since it's cheap as hell, and supposedly has (i'm gonna take this one study with a grain of salt for now) anti inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumoral properties, as well as being a decent cox-2 inhibitor (without the nasty effects of long term use of a NSAID)...
