Oh my god, yes this is it! and yes it was in Flash. I had completely forgotten about the name but clearly remembered the site. Thanks for bringing it back.

EDIT: I tried to run the SWF file on Ruffle but there is no data. I can imagine that the SWF contacted some backend server to load data which is no longer available.
Oh man, just reading (http://www.erasmatazz.com/library/course-description-2018/ob...) for the first time. This person is definitely a genius. We have that word for people like this.
Exactly! Also one more thing to keep in mind - the sooner we can help end the pandemic the sooner will Derek have time to write about other stuff, like crazy unstable, explosive and toxic compounds! :)
Unfortunately there is huge difference when it comes to the South African variant. AZ no longer works, but Pfizer does:

The 2nd key reason is that no other vaccine is backed up by so much real world data as BT because of Israel. That is the very topic of this thread. That is why I thought it is self-explanatory.
> Why are other countries not victim to lobbying in the way America is?

Among other reasons, America has a uniquely loose political fundraising / election spending system. If all else fails, a company like H&R Block can directly take out election ads -- with business funds -- to campaign against candidates who would support simplified filing measures. This would be somewhere between illegal and heavily curtailed in other countries.

The net effect is to give greater policy weight to issues that give concentrated benefits to (or avoid concentrated costs on) small, well-funded groups at the expense of diffuse costs (or foregone benefits) to the general public.
I drink about 2 to 3 per day.
I tried to quit and I did successfully for 1 days. My sleep got better. I overcame Caffeine Withdrawal Symptoms, but then I found myself unable to do what I needed to do. (Reading for a long time, writing, etc..) I was only to do certain things that I didn't find boring for me like running or going out for a walk or cooking
No, because AZ does not work against the SA variant of the virus, but BT does.
They were frozen. De-icing helicopters un-froze them.
Yesterday I drove 1225km from British Colombia to my home in the Yukon. I started the day at -5C, saw it hit -39C on the drive and finished at -36C.

It was the most beautiful blue-sky sunny day and sunset. The full moon, Northern Lights and herd of Caribou helped too :)
I noticed this back on Dec 8 [1]. Sadly, looks like I got the wrong twitter account when trying to report it.

> But the number of reports should still be roughly proportional to the number of bugs in the wild, shouldn't they?

That's just an article of faith. Regardless, part of the problem is where those bugs are. Maybe file-tagging involves millions of LoCs and it's now completely bugfree, but if wifi connections keep having DNS problems because of one single bug, overall experience is much more affected than it would be in the opposite case (bugfree wifi and buggy file-tagging).

> And is it really your position that these statistics are worse than a few users' anecdotal views

When "a few users" are your most ardent evangelists (Arment, Gruber etc), I'd say you should worry regardless.
Interesting how that famo.us appears in the text out of the blue, specially considering that the last famo.us meetup I attended they made it pretty clear that SEO was still a problem to be solved
Always loved their interface. I'm interested to see if Facebook will make it easy for the tech to be shared with their Oculus developers as well to create VR agents or controls that are easy to interact with via voice.
Steering is achieved by deforming the wheel into a cone shape. A spherical wheel wouldn't allow steering by deformation.

From a pure business perspective, their record looks bad, and may be hard to understand. This article about Softbank may be worth reading.

Seems rather pointless. I mean, you're not sending them crypto, you're sending crypto to BlockPay and hoping they collect it.

That being said, 85% of conversations about NFTs are non-consensual, so you may very well find a market for your service.
KDE has two solutions to these problems: Present windows and desktop grid view. Present windows also has a search feature, so you press a key combination, present windows open. Two or three letters for the title of the window, then enter.

If you want to fast organization, showing all windows and desktop is also achievable. Open the view, drag and drop windows or desktops.

For me, both views have their active corners and keyboard shortcuts. People give me sideways looks when I use both of them.
> We're not even close to our limits on research capacity.

Maybe not at your stage of research, but it's my understanding that further down the pipeline (eg clinical trials) you're mich closer to the limits, simply due to financial constraints: given that a trial for something you can sell to millions isn't that mich more expensive than one you can sell to dozens,and given that you need to get payed for your job, i don't see how it doesn't make sense to prioritize the lower hanging fruit. Am i missing something?
Svalbard is a fantastic place to visit, especially if you want to get away from everything - it's like having a weight lifted from you as soon as you leave the area of paved road in Longyearbyen.
Pretty sure you aren't serious but anyway this isn't true. Speaking from personal experience and the experience of my best friend who also went through this process recently.

They do ask for evidence but it's generally nothing like the movies unless you get targeted for special enforcement or your name gets picked out of a hat.
Well for example, it is well documented that although their messages in cloud feature is "end to end encrypted", as soon as you enable icloud phone backups, apple has access to all your messages. A similar issue likely arises with this.
Yes, same thing (and also Boox Note3). If you take a device and switch off the wifi/gsm on it so you cannot get anything from outside, it really helps me focus for reading time. Even a little bit too much (I tend to finish a book in one go, no matter what else happens in the world around me); I often don't notice that hours pass by and people tried to reach me.

> as a non-native English speaker

There are books in your own language right? I do everything in English (as non-native English speaker as well) now, so read English at the same speed as my native language (Dutch), but I do read books in Dutch (and other languages) as well.
Hi,

> wonder whether there will be an update to map those children to the names of the actions taken in the spec

This can be done by, for example, adding a variable to the spec with the name of the transition, lets say a variable named label. Then in the tool you can parse the state string (variable value in function updateChilds, https://github.com/afonsonf/tlaplus-graph-explorer/blob/main...), and then use the label when creating the radio button.

The label can be obtained from the variable value in updateChilds with something like: label = parseVars(value).get("label").

> You write the visualizations in D3 I guess?

The visualization I think can be written with any javascript library, at least I tried to make it able to do so. In the second example I wrote the visualization with svg.js.
I believe the UI is being managed to death. I noticed the same with Slack recently.

The old UI was probably built by engineers for performance and ease of use.

The new one is pretty, does all the stuff marketing wants, has loads of features, uses shiny new tech. Or, all the original engineers that knew how to build a good site left. Maybe both.

It's a dumpster fire. I haven't found anyone that disagrees and I have all the same bugs you do.
I think this would be better because the person who owns the photograph still has control. They can delete the original post and have it disappear from wikifeet. Consent is best. The next best thing is control. A screenshot is neither.
Looking at the headline I tensed up feeling how intrusive and even abusive this could feel for her. Was happy to find a good-natured exchange between the two and the guy didn't come over as creepy at all, even though his hobby probably will feel like stalking to other women.

I guess it's because feet just toe the line between ordinary photos - there are huge celeb sites - and more intimate ones you wouldn't want to see posted online.
1. bet iframing instagram content will lead to iframe busting and maybe site being cease and desisted.

2. text links sure, because it has a whole other behavior and then if someone wants they can take the picture down, make it private or whatever. same thing for iframe but I bet it won't happen there because instagram itself will shut down the iframing reeaaalll quick.

so in short, yes, if it was a bunch of other things that have some similarities but are not exactly the same it would probably be ok with people.
Reminds me of a singular experience I had several years ago. I'd been driving pizza delivery and in general coasting through life after dropping out of college. I had wanted to be a programmer when I grew up but a personality conflict between myself and the head of the CS department at school convinced me to hit the bricks.

Anyway I was doing a delivery to a local apartment complex on a windy day and on my way back to the car this little pink piece of paper blew across the parking lot and fetched up next to my shoe. I picked it up and inspected it. It was printed on both sides, one side had some kind of spam advertisement for carpet cleaning or real estate or something, but the other side caught my eye. All it said was "If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done".

While it would make a great narrative to say I went back and quit my dead end job immediately and dedicated myself to getting my shit together, it was another year before I started putting my life in order. But ever since that day, whenever I felt like I was in a rut or whatever, I'd remember that little piece of paper.

Eventually I got my shit together, educated myself on a couple of programming languages and joined the workforce as a developer, married, bought a house. While I don't think that piece of paper is solely responsible for my successes, the idea "If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done" has been kicking around in my head ever since, and I'm sure it's colored at least some of the choices I've made since that day.
It's a good article, but the second old pg essay we've seen today. Is this some type of strategy to gain points by re-submitting old pg essays?

For the record, this is my favourite and I quote from it all the time, much to others annoyance.
This actually makes much more sense than a rich family stopping. I think its got to do with our psychology. We support each other because one day we'll need the support ourselves.

The richer folk see less need in stopping to help because they feel like they're self sufficient; in other words, if they themselves run into car in the future, AAA and cash will bail them out.

This more humble family however knew that if something like this occurred to them, they would definitely appreciate the help. Thus they were more inclined to stop. So I don't know why people here were so surprised...

Hell, the guy himself states all I just said in four simple words. Still, it was quite a touching story.

Actually twitter has close to 200M uniques. Not all of those are active accounts. They are more like youtube than facebook in that respect.

I would be the first to criticize twitter for past product and performance issues. But I have to also observe that their product improvements recently have been stellar, e.g. twitter for ipad or new twitter. Also, their performance is much, much better.

You don't really tie a logical connection between twitter failing and the entire industry. I certainly don't see a connection between the performance of funds of twitter's investors and the super angels. Except for people like Chris Sacca, they aren't the same people.

I disagree with this talk of bubbles when fundamentals of most of the companies in the industry are strong.
If you need productivity right away then you don't need an employee, you need a consultant.
Personally I don't often like to talk about my obsessions with random people.

I find that talking about them usually leads to a predictable surface-level conversation that I'm bound to find boring.

Usually it's only with other experts that I can have an interesting conversation about the details of something I'm very familiar with.
IIRC this was due to a lost court case:

> Almost two years ago, Getty Images filed antitrust charges against Google in the EU, taking issue with the company's image scraping techniques to display image search results. Earlier this week, Google and Getty Images announced a partnership and Getty withdrew its charges against Google. Changes like the removal of direct image links were apparently part of the agreement.

Meanwhile, the browser feature right click -> "View Image" still works for me on Firefox, as a replacement.
> if someone really cared about these people they wouldn't be in their situation.

Do you really think that?
My usage of Prime has shifted pretty heavily. I no longer order much from Amazon however we watch as much Prime Video as we do Netflix and I use Prime Music regularly at home, work, and in one of our cars. I would pay $6 a month for either music or video so $120 a year is fine with me. The free shipping and discounts at Whole Foods are now the bonus.

In the lifetime of a woman, how many maternity leaves does she take? On average it would be twice and very few women I know have taken more than 8 weeks. The way you put makes it sound like women take 6 months+ time off and everyone else has to pay for it.
It isn't, really. Band of Brothers is just a weird coincidence.

On the other hand, I don't know if The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far are extensively footnoted.
I'm not familiar with StackPHP but how agnostic is it? The first middleware listed (HttpCache) relies heavily on Symfony.

I am sorry but what is with the attempt to get everyone and their petfish to learn how to code? From everywhere and nowhere initiatives and organizations pop up to teach X demography or Y culture to learn how to code. For what purpose? Just because all the big investment money and SV hype everybody wants to get some piece of the cake? Because we are facing a massive lack in programmers? Or does it actually have a purpose?

I mean there are hundreds of professions and skills which are more life critical and/or meaningful than knowing how to write code and could actually improve society if the same effort and resources were put into it as that currently is being put in getting everyone to code.

Don't get me wrong, computers are more important than ever but does that mean everybody should be able to program one?
Not really. It's basically just a means of using ClojureScript with React. That comes with some great stuff (immutability, for one), but AFAIK it doesn't change anything too dramatically.
I heard this morning one of the Reveal team staff interviewing on NPR.

Hope this stays in the news.
On Debian-based distros there are several tools.

squid-deb-proxy can do most of this - it fetches and locally caches lists and packages. Clients install squid-deb-proxy-client which uses multicast-DNS to discover the local proxy.

Packages are fetched and cached by the proxy first time they're requested and thereafter served locally (subject to lifetime/space etc. squid configuration).

There are ways to pre-populate the cache but you're always going to have situations where package updates have to pull from remote archives.

apt-mirror is designed for a similar purpose. It allows creating a sub-set or entire mirror of one or more upstream archives.

Clients can then be pointed at the local mirror which could be on the same host or LAN.

Generally, 'packages' on github will be source-code only so you'd need a quite complex build server, or at least per-package specific links in your local cache rules for pre-built binaries.

I LOVE Jeff's work and I own his Ansible book. The setup is pretty awesome. FWIW I think you could do this with local VMs a little more easily and provision with Vagrant. Having said that, a cluster of Pis is super fun!

I guess it's just a matter of experience then, I find Lisp pretty easy to scan through. So we can debate this until the end of time apparently. :-)

With regard to Haskell the original post eloquently sum up most of my problems with it (and then so more).

At work, I develop on OS X (aka Darwin, derived in part from BSD) and deploy on Linux (mostly Debian). For personal endeavours, I have FreeBSD running.

In general, I've found FreeBSD to be more stable and to have more of an "engineered" feel to it (if you'll excuse the use of the term "feel"), while Linux.. well, as pointed out elsewhere is a little more chaotic in terms of it's development.

I can't speak for Net/OpenBSD, but FreeBSD certainly has a Linux compatibility layer that let's you run most, if not all, Linux code, so potentially it's "win/win" (or "Lose/Lose" depending on your POV).

But I can say that, over the years, comparing Linux and FreeBSD, FreeBSD is my choice as it has generally been less of a hassle to set up and administer, and the documentation - whilst not completely perfect - is pretty damn good.

My tuppenny opinion, YMMV etc..
In my opinion, those "self imposed ceilings" are far worse in the UK that any other limit to personal development - they also vary a lot given your background.

I grew up in a small fishing village in the North of Scotland - where everyone (and I mean everyone) was very supportive of education and the idea that anyone pretty much do anything they wanted if they had ability and worked hard enough. My parents weren't well off but all 4 of my siblings and I went to university.

My wife comes from a urban-working class background in a post-industrial area near Glasgow, she is extremely bright and went to University at 16. However, she had to constantly battle a "that's not for the likes of us" attitude from everyone in her community, including her parents (who are nice people, but just don't "get it").

When we first met she always made fun of me for having no concept of "class" whereas it was something that had always been made clear to her by her peers. Ironically, she became a lawyer and entered that bastion of upper middle class eccentric respectablilty: the Scottish Bar.
The OP's complaint seems to be mediocre students, not the BSCS. Don't eliminate the BSCS, just have higher standards for students.

I'm just finishing up a BSCS, and frankly the CS stuff seems pretty helpful overall. Algorithm design and analysis builds up my problem solving chops, AI teaches me interesting techniques, and automata and languages gives me a good theoretical basis behind development folk wisdom like "you'll never have sufficient test coverage to get rid of ALL the bugs" and "you can't parse HTML with regular expressions". Compilers and operating systems give me great examples of how to design and structure a large system.

On the other hand, the "software engineering" courses I've taken seem to be teaching little more than 1990's era process and testing methodologies. My school has an apparent fondness for teaching RUP, a methodology invented by IBM[1] to sell CASE tools. The best explanation I've gotten from instructors about this is a combination of "defined process models give us something we can write exams for" and "students need to be familiarized with formal process models in case they run into them in industry". I won't say I've learned absolutely nothing from these classes--there's some good stuff in the testing class about how to design tests[2], and the first software engineering class assigned readings from The Mythical Man-Month (always worthwhile) and taught us through experience that going through the correct processes and writing up all the design documents IBM wants you to stretches out a 2 developer, 2 week project to an entire semester for 9 developers, plus you don't finish the project.

On balance, I'd say the people who know about computer science are university faculty, and the people who know about software development are developing software somewhere else, and I'd rather learn something useful about computer science from competent computer scientists rather than learning about software development from people who don't actually develop software.

[1] By "IBM", I mean "a company that IBM has later acquired".

[2] Especially if you're coding in Java, C++, or C#. The software engineering curriculum hasn't quite caught up to the idea that different kinds of languages are used to develop actual applications.
Movies and books, probably yes, software, probably not but there trade secrets can go a long way towards giving you an edge.

Visionaries beleive, post AI people will live in some Wall-E lifestyle, but looking at world how people crave for power and wealth, I don't think so.

If majority lives under UBI, who pays the taxes to replenish them?
