Well, if for work you mean programming, you either work locally with a full IDE and deploy to a server, or if you have to work remotely then zsh + tmux + vim, and put some time in learning all three, and superpower them with the plugins you need. Ideally you do both, that is, learn how to use efficiently zsh, tmux and vim, and maintain your dotfiles, experiment with some plugins to have your curated list of plugins, and then if you need to work remotely you will feel comfortable, and when possible you can work locally on an IDE. If you do that, you will install Vim plugins for your editor of choice anyway (Vrapper for Eclipse or Vim plugins for IntelliJ Idea, or for Atom, Sublime, etc). There are also some plugins to remote-edit files in editors like Atom or Sublime

"Seriously, who can work 80hours/week"

There's your problem. I feel bushed after a 40 hour week (I typically work 30-35 hours a week), I cannot imagine working 6 days for 13 hours, that's just incomprehensible to me.

Where do people squeeze time for family and fun? You're burned out, and with good reason, don't feel sorry about that.

Reading about these tests on monkeys in a biosafety level 4 facility reminds me of The Andromeda Strain. I remember watching the movie for the first time a few years ago and saw how the strain killed a monkey. I was thinking to myself perhaps killing a monkey for a movie was acceptable back in 1971. It turns out they just made it pass out with CO2, under the supervision of the SPCA. It was also one of those strange movies where I could remember the story line but had no visual memory of it, until I remembered I read the book on a commute many years before.
Like I said, I don't doubt that it's effective. I, 0.001% of your non-userbase, don't like it.

Actually, I think that whether or not something can be called "slavery" is irrelevant to whether or not it is wrong. If it shares the same moral violations that our conventional idea of slavery does then it is wrong, but not because it is called slavery but because it violates the same moral or ethical precepts. If it could be called slavery but doesn't violate these precepts then it is not a moral wrong. This is actually slightly related to Socrates' question in Plato's Euthyphro.
I am not a professional photographer, but when I take pictures where motion blur is going to be noticeable, I use the timer. That way, I can be not touching the camera when the shutter opens.

(In the old days there were cable releases, but I haven't seen one of those since... 1990?)
Could work: a combination of wired connections, asking attendees to bring their own 3G dongles and providing a local cell base station for areas with poor mobile coverage.

For people with ethernet ports, you could spread a few wifi routers with wired ports, so wifi traffic is carried over to the fewer routers than to each individual client.
Especially since bad actors (including governments) have been running exit nodes and sniffing the traffic — Wikileaks got its start by doing it, and the Chinese got access to a bunch of embassy webmail accounts that way.

Tor exit nodes are already extraordinarily untrustworthy, one run by anyone associated with Wikileaks might as well be a chinese room with Hitler inside!

> it would be equally valid to argue for as many coal-fired
> power plants to be built in Africa, India and China as is
> humanly possible

The author conveniently omits to mention where the coal will come from, and what will happen when it runs out.

The real elephant in the room when it comes to trade, that free-trade zealots like the Copenhagen "Consensus" never address, is that the developed world can only sustain the current level of living conditions by outsourcing labour and environmental damage. If the current developing countries are going to reach the living standards of developed countries, who are they going to outsource their cheap labour and environmental damage to?

It is likely someone is going to post a comment lecturing me about how the economy isn't zero-sum. The economy isn't zero-sum, but zero-sum is one extreme, with each individuals available raw resources being independent at the other extreme. For available raw resources to be independent, there would need to be infinite land, water, and fossil fuels close to every individual, with no possibility of environmental damage. In reality, the situation is somewhere between the two extremes - the more one individual consumes in absolute terms, the less there is available to others, but it is still possible to grow the pie slightly through innovation. Making developing countries more developed might grow the pie very slightly, but the only way people in those countries will have a developed world standard of living is by giving others now or in the future less in absolute terms. Less inequality is not a bad thing, but it doesn't justify giving ourselves more now at the expense of future generations.

Does the dramatic speed difference between the "non-conforming" implementation and V8 mean that current Node typed arrays are not memory-safe and you may get C-style buffer overflow vulnerabilities when using them?
No one is meant to read or write JSON themselves. It's a format for sharing data between applications (works nicely over the web, parsed easily with JS, etc). You're supposed to write it with an app. That's why it doesn't bother with things like comments - if no one should be reading or writing the JSON then there's no need for comments. The problem is that because it's easy to edit JSON in a text editor developers assume that's a good way of editing it. It isn't.

HR can't write PDFs in vi either, but that doesn't stop them using the format.
Having spent a fair bit of time thinking the same way about growing developer teams and bouncing from 1 side of the equation to the other, I've started thinking about it like leverage.

With a lot of leverage, like a requirement for sophisticated developers and powerful languages, you can get huge payoffs. The kind that are unlikely without it. But also like leverage, small, sometimes unavoidable problems can utterly destroy your efforts.

I'm not convinced that I've ever seen a big group of average developers be highly successful, and I have seen that with a small group of great developers. But I've also seen a medium sized group of above average developers completely submarined by the complexities of their language.

I do believe you are (indirectly) the reason that I got into graphics programming, which led to the low-level skills I now use at my job every day. Thank you.
Typically this is done with something like an Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5.
This 1000%, I sold in March right at the beginning of the pandemic in an incredibly competitive market. The final buyer was determined by the specifics of their offer, not just their final price. FHA with 3.5% down just adds additional risk for closing that 20% conventional doesn't. That risk is minimal, but it's a risk the buyer doesn't have to take.

I'll also add that in competitive markets you also get into a situation where it's a bidding war and you're pushing what the property might appraise for. If you're doing 3.5% down, even though you might be approved up to X, the bank may not be willing to stretch the appraisal for the property. With 10% or 20% down, that's less of a concern.

Also FWIW, for new cars, how you pay does matter. The dealer makes money on the financing, so they will give you a different cash price vs if you go with their financing. The reason being is that they want to sell you a "zero percent" loan that effectively bakes in the interest up front, so their financing will look better, but the final price will be higher.
I'll put it bluntly: fixating on an average ("average IFR") of a wildly heavy-tailed distribution (e.g. exponential for IFR-vs-age) is idiotic.

Technically yes, such average exists – the population is finite. But taking a population-wide decision based on such estimate is suboptimal. We already know a population parameter (age, comorbidities) that gets us an actionable segregation!

I personally see such "hiding behind an average of an exponential" as scientific fraud. Misinformed at best; disingenuous and murderous at worst (such as with Covid).

Interesting, thanks. I wasn't aware of John Ioannidis' pedigree. For those curious – this article does a good job summarizing the controversy (April 2020):

A magic wand to seal off over-60 olds? How do you feel about sealing off everyone?

The author clearly believes it's SPARC in Bay Trail, since he seems surprised by it. A coincidence does seem pretty likely but you'd think Oracle would object.
Here's a radical idea: in today's day and age, do we really need Congress to be in a centralized location at all?

Yes, there are practical and security obstacles to governance via permanent telepresence, but there are many upsides as well. Aside from the enourmous cost and disruption to existing practices, is there anything that makes it completely unfeasible? I imagine many representatives would much rather live in their home state than move to DC or constantly commute.
Regrettably, how you feel doesn't change the well-understood and long-standing definition of "out of the box."
Much research does't see daylight in general. That is the nature of research. Some does make into products, but you'd be hard pressed to trace its path from research to product from the outside.
It's good to realize that most of it was developed as response to innovation elsewhere. And they don't make up for those horrible Visual Basic versions they pushed for years.

Famous quote from 90's:

It seems like the customization is very limited, and will not allow the customer to modify the basic shape of the case. If the company is trying to test a MVP, it makes sense to select the single most popular phone, which happens to be the one with the spendiest customer base.

The problem is that an accidental release from a lab has been deliberately conflated with the idea of a bioweapon and labeled a conspiracy theory. Coupled with aggressive propaganda efforts from China, and the fact that the Trump Administration pushed the theory of a lab release (turning the concept into political kryptonite for more than 50% of the US population) its discussion has become verboten.
Good thing the precedent here is that they were reinstated.
I am not debating how the governance of china has changed since 1990. There are plenty of cases to be made there, but not mine. I am making a linguistic position.
I'd appreciate some elaboration on that too. It sounds vaguely similar to SFINAE in C++, but I don't know enough about Zig's compilation model to know for sure.

(I'm vaguely familar with Zig from a talk by the creator about 1½ years ago, fwiw.)
Thanks for sharing this. I was not aware that Reolink was introducing solar-powered cameras. I like their brand because back in 2017 I was searching for 802.3af PoE IP cams and they were the most recommended. Been running a couple since then and have had good results overall. I hope they are still producing them as good now as they were back then.
I think what makes the Wuhan lab particularly suspicious is that the lab was specifically doing work on the closest known ancestor to the COVID-19 virus, which as far as we know was only found naturally in bat caves more than a thousand miles away.

I would discount the possibility that this was bioweapons research - the US was funding serial passage and gain-of-function research at this lab, of which the express purpose is to make viruses more infectious in different species, including humans.

At any rate, I don't think we can expect anything to be definitively proven. It is absolutely possible that this came out of the wild. But as the NY Magazine "Lab Leak" article illustrates, we should probably be open to the idea it came out of a lab. I also think we should reconsider whether or not serial-passage and gain-of-function research is something that can be ethically conducted. Anywhere.
Thanks for the info. I knew they had to exist, but I haven;t so much as stepped foot in the States for over a decade (making me no more than 15 when I was there), so I wasn't familiar with them.
That is neat. I guess they don't want to promote this feature too much while it is in their best interests to keep everyone on Facebook.

It'd be interesting to see what impact this would have on Bings market share if this feature was made obvious and promoted.
Those who cheated because they did not know the material will not do as well on the makeup. That is one way of finding out who cheated.
I'm paying a similar amount for similar traffic, and I do recall it was a bit cheaper when I had my own server. However I also recall wasting a looot of time configuring and maintaining that server. I'm willing to spend some to save time.
Ah yes, I thought you were referring to the home meals as having two servings.
True. I'm just saying that it's a lot of work for a pretty small improvement (as the world looks today). But maybe I'm incorrect, maybe this would solve real world problems today?

I'm just thinking that if you don't have encrypted DNS queries, your basically still revealing similar info (at least on first/uncached connections).

If you use DoT to your ISP, they will have similar info. If you use DoH to Google/Cloudflare, they will have similar info.

How big is the privacy gain over cleartext SNI on first connection + client side caching of certs and encrypted SNI on later connections? Obviously it depends on your threat model, this + DoH/DoT to someone you trust would protect from plenty of things in an environment where a passive attacker can see your network traffic. But the question is who to trust...
I've played Jackbox Games with my girlfriend and her housemates when I'm over, it's a good time. You could just as easily stream it over Zoom, we have a lot of fun playing that.
That's just some random help provider call stats though. Could just mean that the average Mac users are more prone to call such services, or that their sample might not be representative, or whatever.
Historical perspective: At that time, Microsoft did not surround them, as far as I recall. Nintendo was a separate and distinct office complex.
I don’t understand how generating your own private key yourself (dice or deck or cards or whatever) never caught on.

And then using only that crappy 2010 laptop with wifi card removed and superglue’d USB/Ethernet (to protect you from yourself) to sign transactions offline. Or an rPi, but who cares about power use; this sucker is going to be off 99.9% of the time.
Privacy would be an addition on top of the envelope, where only one card can access the envelope. But Simple's UI hid the total value of everything (+ the envelope).

Privacy is a proxy, not the destination.
What were they paying to keep these greybeards around?
We'll see about that in a few years when some of the contracts start to expire and the company becomes more integrated.
Those are assumptions unsubstantiated by evidence. Fact remains that public disclosure of the virus was delayed by 1 week as it was unknown type(novel coronavirus). After determination of the virus was confirmed, it was sequenced shared with the world less than 2wks later, w/subsequent lock-downs shortly after.

Even with this data US and other western countries dismissed it as non-threat for over 3mos while ridiculing China for 'draconian measures' and violating human rights.

This is also just a push to a fat deal on some other minor case. i'd guess.

The document they cite is not even ruled over yet. And it will probably be full of references to "end-user consumption" or such, making it null on this VFX issue.

I didn't say Americans had savings. I said "Most workers...choose consumption over savings."

The effect is the same result in the context of the original statement: that employers and firms are better positioned to weather a work outage than employees are.

Your aren't holding up particularly well on any of your other points, and I could point at any number of issues, including, for what it's worth, reduced wage-bargaining power, which leaves employees in the US with lower savings than those elsewhere. There are also comparisons such as purchase power parity or costs which are individual and out-of-pocket or just generally higher in the US (health care, education, transportation) than elsewhere.

Most of what you've said has been strawman arguments. QED.
Your accounting software doesn't support CSV templates? I had a similar issue with a different bank and in the reconcile feature you can pick the template (eg QBO, CSV, etc) and under CSV are the templates I made (along with stock templates for $BigBank). So I only made the template once with a little drag/drop page and was done. All subsequent imports are "one click" easy

Not sure why you're calling this out. Container shipping is very efficient.
Another: we do not. Our code runs with exactly zero system calls once it has finished starting up, so we never execute the code affected by mitigations.

When every cycle counts, wasting them in the kernel is not a good idea anyhow. So, isolcpus and kernel bypass FTW.
Top management definitely should lose their high salaries in such a case. The worst that seems to happen to them is to have to resign and get a huge severance package. That's not punishment.
The CEO is the one who has the more power to avoid it and they have incredibly high salary often justified because they are "risk takers". They take the money, so they can take the responsibility with it. And for information, the law is like that in other countries I know.
> People use "fire in a crowded theater" as a valid exception for the taking away your 1A rights. "Fire in a crowded theater" was used to as an argument to support government censorship of wartime dissent. Think of what that means.

So tell me: what does that mean?

Although I've read this before, its nice to re-read this now that I have started to pay a bit more attention to theory of mind. I don't have much to offer here except some resources for further exploration. Currently I am reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" which explores related ideas to what Wallace is getting at here but with the rigour of psychology (for all the caveats that come with that).

You could also try Sam Harris' "waking up" app which claims to achieve what is talked about in Wallace's essay through meditation. From my dabbling with it, it is somewhat true if not entirely true.

Finally you could explore broader works on the mind. I have been listening to audiobooks on animal intelligence ("Other Minds" and "The Genius of Birds") and have made a start on a history of psychology/psychiatry - "The Mind Fixers", which is a bit dry but also filled with wonderful anecdotes and stories.
Maybe SpaceX sends a Starship to catch them and brings them to the moon or somewhere else where they won't be a problem.

array + index == index + array needs justification

One expects the generic + in a+i to get expanded to raw addition .+. and raw multiplication .x. with s the size of elements of the array

a .+. s .x. i

One expects index + array to throw a type error because index is just a number and doesn't have an element size.

So I'm guessing that the real reason that the trick works is that generic + has three methods with signatures

int + int
array + int
int + array
That's the impression I got; they were bringing the answers to the lab.
