And everything else. Each google maps client likely has an ID that is used to link each one back to your gmail. Regardless of whether you've signed in at time of map query.

But google are great. This is a feature of their online service. They need all your information in order to sell it so others can search and find it.

Or something.

The substantive reply got burnt as well. My first comment is no longer throwaway.

Well I wrote "sounds like", so the comment was sort of in jest.

But now I've gotten negative feedback (-2 ?!) I'm thinking that sensitivity training is oppressive. Any criticism of such training appears to be vehemently opposed and I'm now not so sure such training should be seen as without agenda.

So. No. Now I'm not joking. This appears to be an interesting discovery. What was seemingly a throwaway comment that should have passed unnoticed looks like it has revealed some form of censorship of anything even slightly critical (even a joke).

Perhaps "Re-education camps" wasn't far off the mark.

Interesting criticism. Perhaps more context would help.

They were rude about it. And it was appropriate to criticise the child and the parent. The parent was criticised as that child also did it to others up to that point. Other behaviours like bullying were also creeping in. They hadn't properly addressed it until I actually refused the fake apology. The child had behavioural issues that have now been positively improved through their deliberate effort in subsequent months. Evidence of this is has been seen by teachers at his school apparently. Definitely in his behaviour I've seen as well as his sister.

And he's on the school basketball team now. What a terrible present! Children dislike things for non obvious reasons. Just like adults.

The anecdote shows how an apology has impact. Perhaps you can't handle someone holding a boundary line on acceptable behaviour and this hit a raw nerve for you? I don't know.

The coal was a reference to Christmas, not a grudge.

Interesting points in that article.

Having had a Christmas present rejected by a 10 year old I’m well aware of fake apologies. The kid, who had expressed interest in basketball multiple times, asked me a pointed "why did you give me a basketball?" Accusatory tone as if I had gifted him a turd. When suggested by the relevant horrified parent to apologise he laughed. Then later when forced to apologise he did so robotically. I asked him why he was apologising. "Because I had to". When I asked him if he understood why, he said no. Being the offended party I suggested he think about the why before he considered apologising. He disappeared for awhile then came back with a smirk on his face and apologised again. I asked him why he was apologising again when he didn't mean it. Again "because he was told to."

Delivery and intent actually matters.

Maybe this year a certain someone will get some coal.

Actually my point was that the US gets changes after they are tested elsewhere. You didn’t address that.

So by omission you’re saying that the US won’t be getting these encryption laws. And that Australian style gun laws won’t arrive in the US either.

Ok then.

6502 zeropage addressing effectively made it a risc by today’s standards. Done right it made for fast and compact code.

Sometimes I’d throw in an extra instruction as alternate entry point into a subroutine. We’d be scrounging for ROM space and would adhoc a subroutine into the end of a different one.

Time delays were another good reason. An extra cycle mattered when you needed to sync with something.

Made for fun times when debugging but you did what you did.

Given I’ve never had reason to use a y-combinator, mocking bird or eta or any of the other colourful terms from the article this post about GPS seems vaguely appropriate.

Which means that in around 14 days I’ll suddenly need to revisit this article and learn all about it because it’s suddenly useful.

Life is strange like that. I do like the term “why bird” though.
