So what is the point of this article? Wymin will or have already taken over and men are either puppies or thugs. End result: a whole bunch of feminists running the matriarchy of the USA and possibly south Korea, they decide men are beneath them and become lesbians. Then the USA either starts a war and drafts some of the wymin and recovers or stagnates and turns into a failed socialist state, like Canada.

"Vitamin D won't ""keep you safe"" from COVID-19. That is misleading at best, most likely simply inaccurate, and at worst - it's downright dangerous.

As it has been discussed in SEVERAL threads, here and in alt-meds - and even in your own post - it is the lack of a deficiency that can help the body handle exposure to the virus. Supplementing if you are NOT deficient in D, won't help. Taking more than your body needs to prevent it from becoming deficient - won't help.

It's possible that people need more than science has previously believed, but that is a matter of the RDA, not a matter of being ""safe"" from COVID-19. Read more on https://www.canadadrugsdirect.com/

Vitamin D can't cure COVID-19 and it can't prevent it. However - a Vitamin D DEFICIENCY might have a correlation with a lowered resistance to the virus. If you are not deficient, then taking MORE won't raise your resistance. If it did, then the vaccine would already be out, and it would be primarily Vitamin D, and ""big pharma"" would be making a small fortune on it. "
What I thought the article was about after reading the title here: "Heat and sound are magnetic"

What I thought the article said after reading the article itself: "Heat propagates as a wave rather than as atoms. These waves are called "phonos" (wtf?! #1) and they carry sound too (wtf?! #2)"

What people with knowledge in the field seem to think about the article, judging from the comments: "Total bullshit".

I'd love someone to elaborate with some patience and simple explanation of what this is (and isn't) about because it sure sounds very interesting.
"it would be fascinating to read an in-depth comparison between these services and the economy of servants in the 19th or early-20th century."

See "The Edwardian Country House", the BBC/PBS series. It's a reality show for which the producers staffed a large mansion with the staff it had a century ago and sent a family to live there. All the servants had to live by the rules of that era. The lower-level servants were trained to be invisible - the maids would turn away and not make eye contact with the family.
Comparing Scala's complexity to a life-saving procedure says more about your own self-importance than anything.
No, it's not as secure as your browser and AES. It's exactly as secure as Bonchat's servers and application code, because your browser is going to trust any Javascript fed to it from Bonchat.org, whether or not that code subtly destroys the security of the AES encryptor.

Why even bother with JS AES? If you're served a court order, you can be forced to transparently record everything being said on the site anyways, without anyone being the wiser.
Didn't work on Chrome/Win7 without installing Quicktime for me.
I run midori [1] on a freebsd machine, it works somewhat well (audio problems) with html5 video on youtube.
Quicktime is not a fallback, it's still the standard.

Ah, that's useful, thanks ;)
Apple saying that it will submit video-conf stuff as an open standard indicates that it is in Apple's interest for other makers to implement this feature in a similar fashion.
It's not by-golly secure; it's insecure in a way that drives me perpetually nuts and that pushes a grevious misconception about how crypto algorithms can secure traffic in browsers.

There is perhaps no worse place in the world to do crypto than in a Javascript interpeter bound to an HTML DOM and hooked up to a network.
(Friend of the OP here.)

That’s true, but it’s a problem with pretty much everything. Google (or an impostor) could, once in a million requests, send you JS that posts your Gmail password to Twitter. You probably don’t trust this site as much as Google, but the JS is unobfuscated and you can dump your traffic. That’s about as much as anyone can offer.

Personally verifying the code and hashing it every time you use it (or whatever) is a big headache. But if you’re that serious about security, it applies to everything. Bonchat adds the unusual feature that, once you’ve done so, you know that the server can’t even theoretically read your chat. (Assuming AES is unbroken.) This is a step above Gmail etc.
Google meet afaik does support space as push-to-talk so it does give the option to the people. Having the mic to pick up only speak would be even better.
I’ve had similar problems as others posting here have. To be honest when I’ve had to do symbolic math at work (usually some combination of computational geometry and PDEs), I typically fall back to maxima or Mathematica (if my collaborators also have licenses). Those systems are quite solid and very mature when it comes to symbolic work, and I never saw any value in using SymPy since I can get to maxima from Python via Sage. I will admit though: I tend to not do that since I’m usually pretty happy in maxima or Mathematica directly and don’t see a reason to complicate things with a layer of Python. I taught a course a couple years back where I tried to use sympy since we were using a bunch of other Python tools (numpy, scipy, etc...), and the sympy part felt very awkward. I think I remember showing the students maxima and Mathematica to convince them that computers really could do complex symbolic work and not to get too turned off by the Python tools.

Therein lies a catch.

In your analogy if I get really good at getting stuff passed through city council, what would I optimize for ?

A: Building better bridges ?

Or B: building better money making bridges (potentially of of inferior quality) ?

I'd bet there are more takers for B. And at that point we now have better city council optimizers than better bridge builders.

Lets say we now make a team of some folks from both groups. Now who's going to able to get more people onboard their plans? Its the city council optimizers again. And now some bridge builders figure it out and become better optimizers than builders.

We then take it a step further and add competing teams. Same thing repeats. The team better at city council optimizing beat the better builders all the time.

In this whole process its the quality of the bridges that stays the same ( in most cases it goes down) and the costs of it keep going up.

My sad, unfortunate observations in the field.

Love to see a way out.

Edit: in this way of thinking , the assumption is that there are higher chances of making more money from poorer quality bridge than a more advanced, higher quality bridge. One exception to that is the strategy where you first provide better bridges at lower cost and then bump up the prices for maintenance.
as someone entirely in the dark on this particular campaign, it seems pretty easy to me to label people corrupt and remove them when they disagree with me. They don't have to actually be corrupt, just not align with my goals. What's to say this isn't the case?
Would be hilarious if the UI was a text box where it said “type a Crontab line.”

Seriously though, sounds easy to use, if perhaps a bit overpriced for something I’d mostly want to use on small or personal projects.
I had no idea that "tl;dr" is sarcastic.

My initial comments was meant to be an honest summary.
singular friend, cuz by now that's all you must have
I'm going to let your "I've been here longer than you, nyah" comment stand on its own (lack of) merit.

I am perfectly happy to meet you, the next time I am in your town, and tell you that your comment was not funny to your face.
Why is it called Crondom? It sounds a bit like some form of 'protection' for cron.
Exactly this. Thanks.
I don't know. It feels like with this line, the job will be run at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, thus, between 56 and the next 7, you will have 11 minutes interval. Not that familiar with crontab, I may be wrong here.
I think another way to think about it is to think about poker.

You've got the blinds or the antes, and fundamentally, every pot is about fighting for that money. Without the ante, nobody should put any money into the pot.

But once you have a penny ante, the pot size can grow exponentially, and you can find yourself fighting over a many-thousand dollar pot, even if the truth is the fight started over a fight for a penny, and the game is about fighting for a penny every hand.

What I'm saying is, sure, with baseball cards the ante might be an emotional bond to the subject matter. But it quickly spirals and becomes about the collectible, primarily. I can go look at amazing pictures of famous baseball players I love all day, I don't need to own the cards.

I don't think NFTs are really skipping a step, Top Shots is selling you an MP4 of a basketball player you love sinking a shot. It's just the absurdity of it is more apparent when the ante is something you could press Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V to copy.
Eeeh, I run a few web services on a Rust stack and follow a similar pattern. Performance still tops a comparable Node/Python setup; I unfortunately am not a Go user beyond dabbling so can't comment there, but I suppose I'm just weighing in to say "I've not hit issues with this".

Often times, I Box something and tag it with a "review this" for later. If it somehow becomes a bottleneck, well, it's relatively simple to solve in most web-framework use-cases. Haven't really needed Rc, only needed Arc for shared data structures (rare).

> Why are people (students, faculty) playing along with that?

From the faculty perspective: lack of time to do anything else. Writing good test questions (questions that require synthesis of multiple topics and not just regurgitation) is hard, takes a lot of time, and may not even be possible in some introductory classes. Looking for cheaters after the fact is time consuming, too. I have to pay for a Chegg account out of my own pocket, and then keep it open whenever I do my grading, to look for solutions to my own questions.

That said, I steadfastly refuse to use Lockdown or Protorio or any of the other "solutions" my school offers; the downsides are simply too great. If I end up passing a few people who cheated their way to an A, that's a price I'm willing to pay.
Errr I’d want to see hard evidence this is the case before I’d take it as a given.

There’s no part of me that finds it easy to believe that a female, minority worker in tech is going to get the same opportunities as a white male anywhere in Europe.

I’d think the more sinister patting of one’s own back is assuming that “at least we’re not like that here” without hard evidence to back up that assumption.
Yes, thus their point.
I am a guy from a family whose members die of old age with a lion's mane of a hair. So far (being 42) I am on the same path.

But greying of said lion's mane can happen in several ways, from very charming to something that looks like a mildew infestation.

I am not sure yet how I am going to turn out, but it is coming. I hope the Japanese scientists can find some stem cells for melanocytes as well.

Edit: a funny anecdote, my first high school love is very much into bald guys, but somehow I got a pass.
Dunno, but disks are consumable items - don't kid yourself otherwise.
Terribly reductive. An operating system is not a library is not a toy program.

A great deal of (good!) proprietary software is currently in the hands of consumers too. So?
I do like the idea of being able to tag repositories. This is something I wish GitHub would let me do.
What is the benefit (if any) of using WebRTC over plain old web sockets? I ask because I'm currently working on a project that uses web sockets, and it's been really easy to use. Now, if there is valid reason for me to switch over, I'm all ears?
It should probably read corporate journalists are not journalists. To be one a journalist one must serve the truth but to remain employed by corporation means you have to accept some truths that aren't and reject others thar are.
The fb ecosystem is widely used, many times as a third-party library in many apps. Sometimes those apps send your data to facebook, sometimes they do it for free as a consecuence of integrating their services. And then, there are the "share with facebook" and "I like this" buttons.

If what ways would an employee-owned company produce better results? Unclear how that’s related (especially since much of FB stock is already owned by employees).
You can't go wrong with either choice. Both languages are mature enough to be used in production. I, personally, would use Java, but that's just my preference.

Actually you don't really need any new features to write useful programs. They might help, but they are not necessary.

My advice would be to learn both languages and use your own judgement which one you would like more.
By the way, I thought "social morays" was absolutely brilliant and I will certainly be using it myself, but it's spelt "mores". It's a direct import from Latin.
Also, as a user the solution is to use high quality VPN, not Tor or any free VPN that are ripe for abuse.

No. At a certain level of ownership (less than 50%) they would be forced to make a full bid and the regulators would step in again and block.
Like others I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, 31, 10 months ago and I have been taking medication since then. I am also in EU.

Nothing major to add, since there are some good comments from other commentators.
Retrospectively I have realised ADHD has been perhaps an advantage in some areas. But additionally an absolute self sabatoge generating machine for the seemingly simplest of things.

Currently near the end my contract, being thinking more about the future. Full stack dev too. If you ever just want to chat and share stories of ridiculous periods procrastination, self doubt and future plans I'm always willing to chat.

I know speaking things out loud for me has lifted the veil of self doubt that can descend upon one after a bout of ill directed attention.
I first tried to learn react in 2015. And I gave up after failing to control webpack. I googled other options and found vue.vue worked and made sense to me.

Last year, I participated in a hackathon and needed a GUI interface. So, I picked html, css and js. I took a look at current state of react (react is the most popular js framework). I didn’t like what I saw. There are many different ways to do same thing, the recommended way hooks, also happened to be most error prone, and hard to learn. Apparently, it also necessitates Eslint plug-in for catching common hooks error(validation of dependency array). To top it, vue/svelte do not have the entire class of issue at all.

I was somewhat familiar with vue 1, so picked vue. I needed a bit of refresh. With Vue docs, vue devtools, and some grit, I was able to get a working GUI and complete my project.

So, at least from my experience, some people use Vue for pragmatic reasons. Perhaps if you were to give others the benefit of doubt, you might find that they too are trying to be pragmatic
"As nothing in the Baywatch intro is NSFW "

I would suppose that depends on the workplace and area(and time) where you live. It is definitely "somewhat" sexualised content in my opinion (close up of a womens body stripping down), even though there is no nipple to see. But sure, lots of normal advertisement sells more sex. So is the red line, when a nipple is shown? That would classify biological and medical content as nsfw.

My point is, human morals are very different. Humans fight about, what content is NSFW. A computer model can never be "acurate" in that sense.
It certainly is targeting Indian market. Names and places in the Ad is Indian. Nokia still resonates with many Indians for its durability and Reliability. With Internet ready, it will for sure strike a chord with indians in low price segment and as back up phone.
Applying some imagination, I guess you head to your local internet/phone cafe and charge the thing before heading home, or you or your village have something like this:

Compared to the entertainment crowd he's doing pretty good, he's coming off like a reasonably normal person.

People are praising him because he's actually worthy of that, compared to say Justin Bieber.
Would you be so kind as to provide context on why WAL replication is superior to logical replication? I'm very interested in learning more about it.

Also, what specifically did you hate about Slony?

Any resources you'd recommend on this?
I think the real reason is that it gives us an advantage in attracting American businesses. If you're an American company and need to open a European office, you're going to open it in the place where people can talk to your New York office for more of the working day, so you go to London rather than to Paris or Frankfurt.
I can't believe that flexbox is the best thing they could come up with.

What are the js libraries for doing layout that the standards people could inspire themselves with?

I know isotope.js but thats just for some things.
This phone will come in handy for some of us in Africa. The African phone market is flooded with cheap dual sim chinese phones that "can perform more tasks" than what microsoft hopes to achieve with its phone. But for 29$ they are [the chinese phones] still a rip-off for many. Buggy software applications, short lifespan (3-6 months) and spread viruses like crazy.
I would argue that if you add 3G/4G and tethering it's no longer a feature phone. The Nokia 215 isn't really a feature phone either, it's a low-end smart phone.

A feature phone that doubles as a 3G hotspot seems like a weird idea. You would add semi-expensive 3G chip, but not use it for the phone is self.
Impressive. Sometimes you have to keep your eyes open so that you don't miss success when you are busy doing other things.

There are many online stories, so I'll give one old school urban legend - P&G soap started to float based on an accident in production. So they marketed Ivory as "So pure it floats."
(Sure Snopes discredits the story, but since it goes along with my point...)

Sometimes the pivot happens to you.
'Jeremy Rifkin, author of “The Third Industrial Revolution,” said a basic income would enable people to volunteer their time in areas like elder care, child care, culture and the environment.'

This seems like the most important sentence in the article. Raising children, caring for the elderly, editing Wikipedia, free software, &c. creates huge amounts of unremunerated value. If people were freed from economic drudge work, they would have free time not only for leisure, but that kind of valuable work as well.

Japan for example has a time-based currency to coordinate elder care, but that sort of thing will always be an issue of sharing volunteer labor.

I enjoy both math and magic, and I especially enjoy puzzles like this that have an element of both. I wonder whether there happens to be any sort of positive correlation between the two disciplines. Are people who enjoy math more likely than the average person to also enjoy magic?
I am not an expert, but I think it needs more than Brita filters (as suggested by Guardian's article) to effectively remove chemicals from water.
It probably isn't legal but people use non-profits all the time for personal gain and get away with it almost always.
Uh, yes actually. To both. That said, this situation almost never happens beyond an individual contributor level — where diversity is already less of a problem because diverse candidates hit a glass ceiling and move no further.
As I understand it, there had been about two months during the Eisenhower presidency, where a group tried to urged the administration towards a first strike. And, again, as I understand it, von Neumann played a prominent role in this. At least, this is what I was referring to. (Compare Eisenhower's remarks on the military industrial complex in this context.)
It’s not the US, it’s a certain income bands in the US. This forum is probably full of many people who earn at least $100k per year, if not much more, and are likely to be partnered up with someone earning the same. Naturally, if you’re hanging out with people that have a lot of disposable income, they’re going to use that to give their kids as much of a leg up as they can to maximize their kids’ chances of moving up to the next step on the ladder.
oof.

Here’s an example of powerful customization. I recently wrote a macro in Vim that, when run in a particular Visual Basic file, would search for a certain part of the file with an SQL string, delete everything in the file but the SQL string (just temporarily), and reformat the SQL string for easy viewing. I needed a macro because that Visual Basic file was compiled from another source, so it kept getting rebuilt to the full version but with different SQL, and I had to keep on using my macro to view the new SQL.

The main reason this was easier in Vim than it would be in Sublime Text is that I could edit the macro after the fact – the macro was just text. All macros are stored in a register, and registers are basically like multiple clipboards, so to edit the macro, I just had to paste the contents, change the text, and copy it back to the same register. Because of that, I could develop the macro bit by bit. At first, I just made the macro delete the parts of the file other than the string with SQL. Then, when I realized that I was going to be viewing the SQL in this file many more times, I edited the macro’s register. I was able to develop the macro bit by bit. And I could even save the macro in a text file for me to load later. Basically, I used Vim macros as a substitute for a scripting language – Vim has convenient text-manipulation functions built-in, and text manipulation and viewing were my goals.

Another way Vim made writing the macro easier is that it has more powerful macro primitives. It is easier to, for instance, select all the text in the next quoted string on this line, because Vim’s text-manipulation primitives are more granular. I think Sublime Text can select the cursor’s current “block”, but not a double-quoted string specifically.

Here’s the final macro (^M carriage return characters were turned into actual newlines, and ^[ and ^V characters are invisible):
