It was surely fixed in Outlook 2007, perhaps even 2003 and maybe even 2000.

That reminds me that in 1999, looking through the referrer logs, I realized that if the link came in from an Outlook email, Outlook+IE would report the subject of the referring email as the referrer (iirc with user name, something like “mai

The most popular money transfer app (think Zelle), with about 80% or so of the market last I checked, iscalled Bit and operated by the largest bank (Hapoalim). It will not let you receive money or send it, unless you give it full access to

As did Waze. Google maps, google docs and a few others were also bought, but have been integrated and are not considered trash by the majority of people - quite the opposite.

Indeed. The BBC’s Domesday book was put on a pre-CD glass based optical medium which should last forever, but they managed to lose reading equipment for it, and a huge digitization effort from the 80s would have been lost (they published a

Twitter has an option to just skip the algorithm and let you drink from the firehouse - switch to timeline view and put everyone you are following in “alarm” mode (otherwise, they’ll filter it as THEY see fit). Most of the people I care abo

GP was talking about Outbrain and Taboola who are not as far as I know hacking anyone’s emails. That was what I was responding to.

They are less sneaky and have less reach than Google and Facebook - but are comparable (they provide some value to users, but mostly to advertisers at the expense of users - and they keep most of that value for themselves. On a smaller scal

It has to a lot to do with statistics, but is not usually classified as statistics per-se, but I think the entire field that includes Random Projections (e.g. Johanson-Lindenstrauss Lemma), Compressive Sensing and friends. Statistically spe

They compete with each other in the same way the McDonalds and Burger King compete for the cows that are made into hamburgers .... Google's and Facebook's customers are the advertisers, and they compete for those. But users are th

You need more cooperation from the domains that do the CNAME cloaking. In fact, the CNAME just makes it a little easier to deploy - The domain server could -- on the backend, without you having any idea or way to intervene -- notify Tracker

I reach for lockless not when I fear contention, but when I have unbounded lock time. There could be no contention 98% of the time, and 500ms max wait another 1% of the time - I would happily use locks. But if the last 1% is unbounded (depe

Yes, there is. There is quite a bit of “long covid reporting” but I haven’t found one with reasonable healthy or comparable e.g. flu controls.

They all provoke the immune system to generate antibodies (and T cell responses and other responses) that recognize active infections, but those go into action only when that infection is actually recognized (which can be a false positive w

Do you have reason to believe that Lyme is not a real disease, despite a known bacteria and very distinct symptoms including red “target” marks? Or are you just referring to “long Lyme” (which is not well characterized, but has extremely hi

Most people confuse the common cold and flu. Flu is a very serious disease that kills many including children. Common cold rarely has complications, and when it does it is almost only with the very frail and very old.

Can you comment perhaps on what you guys have compared to nVidia’s DGX? I’d rather buy a workhorse with open drivers.

While true, VGA only did that at 320x200, HAM6 was 360x576 with sprites, and iirc split screen with other modes was already possible. It is not directly comparable, not being pixel addressable, but was incredibly useful for anything that wa

That was a problem, but that didn’t kill the Amiga. It had enough advantages for people to pay more - but Commodore mostly rested on their laurels. When the Amiga 3000 was out, it turned out that the CPU was faster than the blotter, for exa

.... and the Amiga did all of that, and more, in 1985. The basic Amiga cost almost twice as much as a basic PC where I lived, which was why it wasn’t as popular. But in 1985, a PC that had capabilities comparable to the Amiga cost over 10 t

We are not close to conquering the speed of light. Ping time NY to Australia is 100-200ms regardless of software stack. But if you have a server in Australia then I would still say that.

Isn’t this also the basis for Stadia RIP and XBox Mobile work on iPhones? That seems to deliver acceptable results for even arcade games on WiFi. Latency seems to have been conquered.

Python 2.7 was the previous LTS version: it lived for 8 years IIRC, of which 5 weren’t originally planned. Even LTS versions get sunset at some point.

I am a paying NewsBlur customer and like it very much. It is, however, too picky about atom/rss - if you have a feed with some wrong entries (e.g. the one from freshcode.club) it will discard the problem items without a warning while s

I used to use thunderbird to read RSS. The problem though is that if you don’t poll often enough (and for some feeds, that’s every few hours) you’ll miss articles and updates — and my laptop is sometimes off for a couple of days. I’ve switc
