> Maybe someone should have said "Hey, we don't know for sure, we've never studied it -- but they use cloth masks in Asia and they have more experience than we do

Nah.

Putting any filter between 2 people are going to reduce particle exchange. Even bad filter would do.

Isn't this just physics regardless of whether it's classical or quantum?

Asian countries don't have greater insight. It's common sense. Someone coughs at us. We put anything on our face to reduce the particles reaching us. Somehow you tried to argue that this was a recent scientific discovery.

We can agree to disagree.

The fact remains. Fauci could have easily recommended bandana or any type of face covering. He didn't. He even admitted he lied for the greater good. He didn't even think of bandana. And this is the best person we have in US...
I agree, but also wasn't advocating for not giving any shit, more so not going "above and beyond" in what is ultimately a relationship that's transactional in nature, or maybe just beyond. Everyone loves someone who takes pride in their work and does a great job, but investing yourself in the company in a way they they won't reciprocate doesn't seem wise. Investing in that way in your actually family, your own business, or your community seems different.

Another way I'd phrase this is not to not give a shit, but to not give more than a shit.

Maybe this will cause Skype to take Linux and Mac more seriously. If you've used the Windows version, you know almost all development has occurred there, whereas the Mac and Linux clients have looked the same for the last four or five years. The Linux client did have a major version bump about a year ago iirc, and that brought some needed features, but it was mostly the same.

Also, hopefully this will teach Skype to do more with open-source. I really hope they open the client up. This bug may have been caught, and things would definitely have turned out differently if Skype ran freely on other platforms. Maybe someone could even factor out a "Skype server" instead of an exclusive policy of client supernodes. Even serious torrenters rent a server somewhere to host their torrents -- P2P doesn't have to be strictly consumer-level connection, and really shouldn't be.
Drugs are not legal in Denmark.
Joyeux Noel & Bonne Annee from Amsterdam where we celebrated another Santa Claus just about three weeks ago. So here we go again. Slightly different tune though. It makes me think that Religion is Culture.
Not necessarily; the server providing the video can look at your authentication cookie and the current timestamp, and decide whether to send you video or not.

Although that's true. It would be trivial for someone to publish, say, a Firefox extension that saves all the video to your harddisk as you watch it. If that happens the suits and lawyers will get very upset. They'd almost certainly change it from the open web standard. This means it'd be impossible to have a web standard with DRM.
> 4. Communication | Telephone communication has moving images
> PREDICTION: ...and routinely includes high-resolution moving images.
> ACCURACY: Correct

...and then he goes on to mention FaceTime and mobile video calls in the US in 2010, and calls it a success.

Meanwhile, in Europe, we've had this since 2003, all phones you buy now have the capability, but almost no-one is using it, because it is essentially an undesireable mode of communication. Voice-only allows the speaker to multi-task, to do something with hands and eyes, while talking to someone else. Video-conferencing has its uses, but it's not lack of technology that holds it back, it's the undesireability of it.
Yeah, I've never heard of charges being maliciously fabricated against a perceived enemy of the local authoritarians anywhere else. Not even in Sweden.
It's a reimplementation of the Amiga OS, which predates both of the systems you mention by many years.
>Opponents of single-family zoning say it was used to exclude people of color from moving into certain neighborhoods.

I really wish they would include a similar line about proponents of the policy. If you're going to change something, you should at least understand why it was put into place to begin with, and what purpose it serves today.

Chances are I'm going to agree with this change, but this is still biased reporting of the worst kind.
It makes a lot of sense if you like living in a neighborhood with single family housing.

I live in an apartment, but if I had a house I'd hate for an apartment building to be built next door overlooking my yard.

In most of the country private gated communities with HOAs are getting a big percentage of new housing. Keeping neighborhoods consistent is one of the reasons. I can't find a good link easily but wikipedia says 40% of all new housing in California is gated communities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gated_community#United_States
Love weweb!!
I agree with you, thanks for the source.
I can understand that. I think, if you think carefully, this is 100% necessary. I was talking to the other commenter, but telecoms, and really capitalistic businesses as a whole, have demonstrated the will disregard morality in the name of an extra buck. (They'll also disregard laws for the same reason but at least we can pretend to do something about it.)
Thanks for taking the time to check it out and share feedback Tony, I appreciate it.

Ultimately, it's all about each of us using what works best. It seems like Freshreader doesn't quite line up with your needs, and that's okay.
>These platforms were purpose built for performance, concurrency, resiliency, and availability. Given advancements in the programming space, we wanted to see what languages best suited our reliability and performance needs. We also needed something that fit modern infrastructure and design patterns.

>As such, we launched an effort to evaluate different languages.

I feel the purpose of a payment network is performance, concurrency, resiliency, and availability, and somewhere, wayyy towards the bottom of the list, at 2px font size, modernity and extensibility are there.
Mozilla seems to go out of its way to make it harder for right-leaning people to back them with every move they make...

I can't help but feel we're in for a bumpy 2021.
I think an appropriate solution is getting the prestigious reviewers of top journals to quit and move to open access model funded by the government. The difficult step is convincing the bureacracy at different levels (universities, govt) and of course preventing lobbying.
That's nice. It doesn't mean the results were fraudulent. And it doesn't mean tossing out the results was legally justified.

The judges properly disagreed with your absurd conclusion that it was "a reason to disqualify either votes or an entire election." That was far too large an ask.
It's not petty, there is clear confusion in the community between prestodb and the fork called prestosql, which also continued to call itself the "official presto" all this time.

Forks like this should really use a different name from the outset when the existing project is still alive with a large user base.
> We're in a situation where stating that you're not attending Biden's inauguration is branded as "inciting violence"

That wasn't what he got banned for at all.
Only in concept, not in practice. People can be just as mistreated by monopolistic cooperations as they can be from the government.
This is what op practices every day :) And thank you for posting this reminder here.
Thank you for your comment. That is absolutely true. I have excuses for everyone except for myself. Intellectually, I realize that, but it’s difficult to fight it. My therapist is trying to help with this. We’ll see how it goes.
Good thing then this isn’t an endless mandate and only a single idea with a short list of requirements.
The point isn't that there is a level of abstraction, but the kind of abstraction. The abstraction of paper money as opposed to metals comes with the potential for abuse through unrestrained printing.
Because the exchange rate isn't 1 release : 1 paper.

When I worked as a programmer in academia, my lead professor said he'd had some folks from the computer science department over to look at what we were doing, and they commented that there were at least a couple of PhDs and 5 or 6 masters theses in there.

I don't know if that's true (and I didn't stick around long enough to find out) but I know that fully organizing and documenting every bit that I'd done would take many times longer than writing it in the first place.
If we can learn anything from history, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the standardization. Just look at situation on the operating system side. Different flavors of Unix, VMS, z/OS, Windows. Sure there are concepts that apply to all of them, but if you want to be an expert you really need to go deep on the vendor specific things.
Every optical illusion is some good aspect of vision failing in a limited case. Evolution is presumably selecting for the good aspect, and not the occasional hallucination it produces.
This is great! If this could somehow allow me to create UML diagrams I can see this becoming a leading tool.
> This is why tumblers aren’t likely to be used by most people

I think that the ZK (ZCash, AZTEC, etc) technology will solve this problem and we will be back to the case where the government wants to make the technology itself go away.
I remember there was a company trying to make "EDA library" as a service with online API.

I wonder if they are still around and if one can use their API from KiCad
Yep, I'm a fan of Tom, too :)

If you get to re-reading it again, just imagine Tom singing his songs as if they were country, like Hank Williams or Garth Brooks-style. Hilarious!

I clearly have a need for this about software as I am not a pro dev.
I just had the same conversation with a med worker this weekend. Some patients just want prescription and anything more will annoy them. Others will need a description to accept a diagnostic.
I assume we, hackers, will tend to prefer the latter but I’m not sure it’s for the best to be like this in every area of your life.
[edit : typo]
I used my $80 Android phone for four years. (Blu R1 hd). You you paid more for battery swaps than my phone.
By the quoted logic, any data file (say, an image) would be considered a computer program.
This is pure and simple aeon old Manichaeism.
Body and physical existence as such are evil.
Spirit, morals and logos are good.

The problem is, even if we are spirits in a material world, as THE POLICE once sung, the only way out is non-existence, To stay in the game one has to accept the rules.
And these rules are not moral.
We are the descendants of survivors.
And what they did to survive was what brought us here.
So even if one accepts the arguments of Antinatalists and their like, and I do, most people won't.
Simply because they are descendants of organisms, that did all to survive.
It's simple, almost bordering to a tautology.
That line of thought won't survive.

I am being unbelievably charitable. Honestly I chalk it up to culture and the elitist attitude that permeates it. However at the same time there is a reason I specifically state after a few drinks. At least then it gives them an out. I know at least a few who discussed these ideas openly in the lunch room. Bad enough one day I had to get up and leave for my desk.
I'm not really sure I understand your analogy, copyright infringement and privacy violations are very different mistakes. Can you explain?
Seth Roberts reported on this a long time ago, though he added a bit of fructose to his water

http://www.sethroberts.net/about/whatmakesfoodfattening.pdf

A farmers know, taking water with your meals increases calorie uptake too.
But that's exactly his point, non-earth life that behaves like life on earth can be predicted easily, but anything beyond that, who knows? You can only assume non-earth life depends on things like Nitrogen if you believe that's the only kind of life that can form, but we don't know that.
Do you really want to sit there and click on each letter on the virtual keyboard? Seems counterproductive.
Of course I don't, but I guess the question is: would they have owed that much anyway? My thought was that the IRS just billed you what you should have payed already plus maybe some interest. So if you get a $10k bill, it's an unpleasant surprise but doesn't that mean they just messed up and should have payed that 10k (less some interest) a few months earlier?
Looks like it might be a direct PowerPoint export. They might be open to suggestions from someone who has to manage large numbers of slides/images in the context of a teaching environment.
Shoutout to twominutepapers, it's a wonderful channel.
You are google in the analogy. Your friend is someone using google. The coffee shop is the newspaper.

Your friend (the searcher) asks you for a cafe recommendation (searches a current event on google) and you tell them the main street cafe is great and you should buy something there (google says the nyt is trustworthy and you should read their page)

The australian law says you should pay the cafe to send them customers (says google should pay the nyt to send them readers)

It’s really dumb. The cafe wants referrals: why should you pay them? Dunno australian news so I used the NYT as an example.
Thank you for bringing this up. It's outrageous that it isn't more known outside of Canada (and inside). The last one only closed in 1996.

EDIT: and good on you for honouring her.
I'm not surprised. Consumers have been subjected to at good 20 years now of being conditioned to associate anything that matches the pattern /\dG/ with increasingly exaggerated, hypoxic, and unbelievable sales pitches. The only reason US telcos haven't been properly called on their BS is that people (understandably) don't see taking their money and going home as a realistic option.
Evil as that is, it's not genocide since it's not aimed at the destruction of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. The other western examples cited were aimed at that as is what China is doing.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste."

The proposed backdoor nationalization of companies via bailout wasn't discussed. Proposals include mandatory board positions for workers, increased minimum wages and other regulations which will make already failing companies uncompetitive.

It isn't difficult to imagine how this would lead them to ask for further bailouts. At which time, further government intervention would be proposed.
Netlify likes to go down unless you are paying for the high tier. Also they charge for bandwidth after 100gb's ($20 for another 100gb's which is basically stealing money compare to how much a 100gbs is worth).

I would not recommend Netlify if you have other options.
They're due to arrive in weeks so I assume they do: https://www.cityam.com/millions-of-coronavirus-antibody-test...
I’ve watched every one of Cuomo’s press conferences. He message is always clear - that we are trying to not overwhelm the health system.

He doesn’t say “flatten the curve” because he believes words matter and tries to communicate to avoid panic (Hence his refusal to call “Stay Indoors” as “Shelter in Place”)

But the medical side of the state government - along with their action - has been consistently flatten the curve.

No one but the highly delusional believes we can roll back community spread.
You can mitigate that risk by using one of the first 1024 ports, since they require root access.
Product strategy is useless if you can't grab a team of A-players to actually create products. Also, your ranking methodology defines the possible kinds of relations between teams and institution-employee communications you can have.

Yes, there are certainly other factors making MS suffer now (like the fact that they like to compete with their clients, and destroy them), but this one may even be the largest one.
You're right that "scope" isn't the right word to use there, but I still can't think of a better one.

Trying to accommodate the complexity you describe ahead of time could well be its own mistake. One thing I've learned in the trenches is to wait for most things to prove to be a problem before adding complexity to address them. I believe you that there are cases like you and the OP describe, where "all sync or all async" is a good invariant to have. But I don't believe it's a general rule, the alternative to which is doing it wrong (or even the devil, as in the OP).

Another thing one learns in the trenches is that almost all general rules about software are bogus and end up distorting one's thinking. It's better to choose invariants on a system-by-system basis.
YAGNI is well and good for certain types of problems, especially prototypes and proofs-of-concept--essential to succeeding, even.

However, the very second you know for sure that you'll need to expand the system, you need to stop and pull on your big-kid pants and do some design. Any fool can keep throwing code at slight variations of a problem until they're buried in spaghetti (and many do!), but people that actually know what the hell they're doing will bust out the abstraction hammer when it becomes clear that it's prudent (and not a moment before).

Generally, once I've had to solve a similar problem three times it's time to refactor. Once is providence, twice is coincidence, but three times suggests that things need to be designed.

EDIT:

The author's example is particularly poor. A dog, chicken, and cat all need to move, follow a player, interact with the game world, update, spawn, and die. It makes perfect sense to have a Pet class handle this glue entity lifecycle code, and then to specialize a subclass to override the rendering or update code.

There are cases where YAGNI is alive and well, but this example simply isn't it.
I made this argument to the 1Password guys (Dave Teare, I think) when I ran into them at Macworld a few years ago. I was used to the Mac OS's keychain always asking for a password to see or edit its contents, even when it's unlocked and apps can get at their stuff in it at will. 1Password doesn't.

He made the same counter-argument, that if you handing over your computer over to someone you don't trust, 1Password should be locked — his locks after a short timeout and whenever he put his computer to sleep.

These arguments are way more eloquent than mine though.
There's a popular growth hacking strategy which I like to call the "what the hell" strategy: The content lead-in is deliberately vague but still gives you an idea of what it's about and it makes the reader go "what the hell?" and check it out of morbid curiosity. It's the inverse of link-baiting.
You captured my thoughts perfectly.
I might suggest that 3 years during the Spanish Civil War is not really a good basis for how things "wind up".
Or weather/road conditions. Reaction time is irrelevant if you happen to be driving over an irregular/wet/oily/sandy/etc section of roadway at the moment maximum braking force is demanded.
Exactly. As a developer that has used the CI&D infrastructure to finagle some things I didn't quite have permission to do, it doesn't surprise me that CI&D is a good way to escalate permission after the initial hack.

It is non-trivial to write secure deployment scripts/configs and ensure that access keys and credentials can't be leaked to anyone with dev access.
I use Telegram because in the Linux group on Google+ it was advertised as the better messenging alternative, and a while ago Russia wanted access to their data and when they refused some IPs were blocked by the Russian government.

Idk if that was just a market trick or if it was real.

In Telegram you don't get censored.
But it lacks the essential blocking people feature.
Not really relevant but just to note packrat had been soft-deprecated and is superseded by renv, which comes standard with rstudio.
Docker container pre-configured with Nginx as forwarding proxy. You can use it to either block all outgoing traffic and whitelist certain domains or allow all outgoing traffic and blacklist certain domains. Let me know if you find it useful!
Not to mention killing a lot more non-car road users who don't have access to the same acceleration.
Sadly, the upsides are just too good. I love decentralization, but I have to recognise that I've not lost a message since I moved to gmail in 2005; before then, losing entire mailbox files was not uncommon, as well as missing messages from unreliable mailservers, spam management, and so on. I'm sure I could have done better etc etc, but the bottom line is that with gmail-like services you don't have to. I enjoy doing sysadmin but not 24/7.
It's better, but only marginally useful for things like /tmp or swap. A number of instance types don't even support ephemeral volumes.
Directory Service is basically Samba as a service, very good for a lot of use cases: http://aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/
Brython is even better.
Got to System Internals for procexp and tcpview but I'll never forget the first time I ran procmon.

ps: Windows really isn't sleepy, a lot happen all the time it's a bit scary. I don't know how other OSes are behaving when idleing though.
While maybe it's silly to do it electronically, thousands of people switch out the exhausts on their cars/motorcycles not often for increases in performance... but to have a different sound.

Doing it electronically is new, but the concept of wanting a more 'powerful' sounding engine isn't.
The linked article could have been titled "andre garzia does not understand that mobile messaging is not the web" jajaja ;)

I am not going to comment on the chrome only and non standard API complaints.

The key insight behind modern mobile messaging that allows them to scale cheaply is that for most consumers the phone is persistent enough that the server does not need to store messages. Ask a 19 year old if they need their old whatsapp messages. Most will say no. In fact, many proactively delete them. Turning a mobile messaging into a CPU and bandwidth only problem is a clever hack instead of it also being a disk and indexing problem.

This is hard thing for a lot of us to understand because we come from a world where our business has message retention and surveillance requirements. We want to run quantized self and sentiment analysis reports for the last 10 years. But most people either don't know that might even want that.

The other key insight is that knowing the user's identity can be more important than the user themselves.
CPU-bound workloads are not particularly rare. Also, EBS is your only storage option for any data you might care about. 90% of the reason RDS exists is because I/O is so bad on normal EC2 instances.
