> The DEA regulates all scheduled drugs, not states and absolutely not cities

States and cities absolutely do regulate them, and can (but cannot Constitutionally be compelled to) assist in enforcing the federal law even if they don't adopt their own. Most illegal drugs are subject to state and federal prohibition, which are mostly also priorities for enforcement by most general-jurisdiction local law enforcement. But there is a recent trend for states dropping or limiting their prohibitions on certain drugs (mostly marijuana) and cities, states, and even the federal government deprioritizing enforcement of some drug laws (notably, there is an outright legal prohibition on federal expenditures on enforcement of federal marijuana laws against use conforming to state-level medical-use laws.)

And that's all completely legal (state licensing and taxation schemes for federally-prohibited activities may not be, however) though the federally prohibited acts don't become legal through any combination of state legalization/decriminalization and federal, state, or local deprioritization.
Looks more like an ad to me.
Termius is free if you just want a nice terminal emulator. You only need to pay if you start using the features that securely sync your connection details between devices, and frankly that's a really useful feature.

I'm partial to GTK (it's just C and doesn't need a special pre-processor) but Qt does a much better job of looking decent on non-linux computers. There's probably some other options worth considering like libUI and Tk.
Wow, I'm really glad they caught it in time! That's a very scary situation.

Obviously I wouldn't change anything about the way this was handled. To be honest, my proposal is mostly a concession. It is an attempt to reduce the number of unnecessary tests and biopsies, while still gathering more data about the things that are going on in your body. It doesn't supersede anything that you've described, so if you feel a lump, you would still follow exactly the same course of action that you've outlined.

There must be a way to collect more data and respond appropriately to aggressive and dangerous cancers, while still reducing the number of unnecessary tests and biopsies. This is obviously a very important problem to solve and will save millions of lives.
Depends on where you come from. If you're already accustomed to the web stack you'll love Electron. If you come from a .NET background or something similar, you'll prefer native.
Well one option is to give subsidies for electric cars to offset this a bit, the other is hope that electric production ramps up and drives the cost down - that's why it would be increased gradually - from barely significant to unable to compete in 5 years.

Around here we already have a law that any taxi drivers (Uber and others included) cannot use a car older than 5 years.
Isn't there a reading mode? Even Chrome is rolling one out (desktop with reader mode flag set).
From the article:

> AWS has the most granular reporting, as it shows every service in every region. If an incident occurs that impacts three services, all three of those services would light up red. If those were unavailable for one hour, AWS would record three hours of downtime.

Was this reflected in their bar graph or not?

Also, GCP has had a number of global events, e.g. the inability to modify any load balancer for >3 hours last year, which AWS has NEVER had (unless you count when AWS was the only cloud with one region).
That's conditioning and it can be broken. Most people like to be led, does not matter if by machine, system or man. It takes much less thinking.
People expected it to be completely free and ad-free forever, for some reason.
Oh... that annoying top bar that wants me to install their app? Oh that shit is annoying af lol
It is being decommissioned.
I don't think this is the right solution. Something like React Native where the core logic is shared but the UI/Views can be tailored to each environment is ideal.

I believe Microsoft released some React Native stuff for desktop and hopefully, there is some work going on for MacOS.

No, it hasn't. Enforcement of the criminal prohibition by Oakland city authorities has been deprioritized.
Qt, wxWidgets, Gtk(mm) - I'll take such framework even if I want to develop for a single platform - the sane APIs and you can always fallback to '#ifdef platform' as needed (rare).

If you form a variant with multiple copies of the same type they will "collapse". E.g. std::variant<int, int> behaves like std::variant<int>.
Well you need to give time for market to readjust so the ramp-up is a grade period - but instead of doing it 1% per year you do it in 5% per year or some similar significant increment - this way you're clearly signaling what's going to happen without completely screwing people who invested in ICU.
Recovery-oriented computing. Seperate Bohr bugs (easy to reproduce) from Heisenbugs (difficult to reproduce/change their behaviour once investigated).

Bohr bugs generate an alert and happily meander through normal support channels.

Heisenbugs go through phases -

1. Probation. On continued failure,

2. Restart. If the app or service fails after a restart,

3. Reboot. If the app or service fails after a reboot,

4. Re-image. If the app or service fails after re-imaging,

5. Remove/elimate the node.

I'll offer a different view. I find GNUCash great for my personal finances. It's not too complicated I find, easy to navigate and works on MacOS and Linux (Which I need personally). Before this, I tried a few and all required paying or something like BYOB which I found amazingly complicated and I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
Yea, Microsoft seems to maintain react-native windows and they've officially announced their support.
Where do I start if I want to build a native app for Windows, in terms of language, frameworks and UI kits?
The author is just plain wrong multiple times:

> Electron represents something of an existential crisis for Apple. If developers can build with web-based frameworks, they’re less likely to use Apple’s tools, services, and ultimately, its App Store.

Most Mac apps are distributed outside of the Mac App Store.

> To demo such an exciting framework, you’d expect big names like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, which could theoretically bring off-line video playback to the Mac for the first time

Nobody seems to have really been clamoring for native apps for these…

> developers like Netflix, which need to build for other platforms anyway, will keep using Electron for other apps

Yeah, no. Netflix makes “native” apps for a mind-boggling number of platforms, including set-top boxes and game consoles.

> A better example of this idea can be found in Chromebooks, where Google allows almost any Android app to be used without modification. Want to run Instagram or stream with Spotify’s mobile app? It works as you’d expect, with all of the benefits from the mobile app in tow.

No, it doesn’t: have you tried to scroll in one of those apps? That’s right, most of the time you have to drag your cursor across the screen.

> If you’re a company like Slack, it’s cheaper and easier for you to target every desktop platform with Electron

No, because Slack already has an iPad app.
I don’t understand how billion dollar companies can’t pony up for a few native app devs lol
But how Apple building Catalyst is going to killing Electron? Electron is cross-platform. So, for many companies, it will be still the first choice unless they are only building for Apple only ecosystem.

You can't expect Apple to not invest on the tooling for its own platform even if cross-platform solutions are great.
I have MS Teams and VS Code, both Electron apps, open and they seem perfectly OK to me - in fact I am surprised by how little memory they use.
The fact that if there’s a bug in the chrome codebase it affects so many apps. For two years this has been the bane of my existence: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9413.

When I switched from dual 1440p monitors to dual 4K monitors, all the sudden chrome and every electron app started to just randomly not draw parts of itself. Fixed in chrome ages ago, but electron still hasn’t taken the patch. For awhile if you didn’t have windows scaled up to 4K it was mostly fine, now it does it all the time for me. Spotify, VS Code, etc. are all unusable unless you disable GPU acceleration which makes them run very slow and hog your CPU. And then the memory consumption! VS Code eats more ram than visual studio proper. What’s up with that?
Safari has had Reader Mode for years.
I don't see how ICOs are less of a financial scheme/scam than the Silicon Valley VC Startup acquisition funnel.

Just looking at Google alone, the number of startups which were acquihired and whose product was subsequently shut down is significant.
Reader mode never used to be a necessity here.

This seems like a bizarre data point to extrapolate from. Aren't airports often specifically put away from dense population centers (for obvious reasons)? It's not as if Charles De Gaulle is on the Seine.
I use "Reader View" in Firefox and everything smells of roses again.
This. I've asked a macbook at work specifically for this.

I can have an Unix workstation while still being able to run Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint.

I don't want to use Windows and I don't want to use that pile of crap that LibreOffice is... The mac was a good compromise for me.
A high quality note taking app is all about sleek UI. "Just consuming data from an API" is going to be 5% of the development effort.
Maybe the answer is Flutter.
Distances between our limited repetitive Universe Origin Debates and meaning describe how our intellectual ecosystem interferes with knowing. That is something, at least.
Docker Anti-Patterns
As long as you target desktop class apps, Qt is more than enough. For native mobile the offer is weaker (in Qt land, is QML) but possible. For web development Qt is not an option.

Electron can target web/desktop/mobile but the results are far from optimal (RAM, CPU cycles... JS!).
Maybe I wouldn’t hate electron as much as I do if they’d get around to fixing https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9413.

Run dual 4K monitors on a Linux box on both nvidia and AMD GPU and all my electron apps turn into a flickery, randomly not rendering mess. Currently running what I can in Firefox, but VS Code still needs to me on my desktop and is still a mess unless I disable GPU acceleration.

Two years guys, please...
Pro TIPS for devs working at home
Sorry, but both kinds of studies are useless. Your proposition is observational and needs a big sample. (Not that any nutritional study does not need one, just an order of magnitude bigger.)

Tomato juice is liable to get lost in the noise of various diets and genetics unless you truly control the whole of the diet, which is reasonably easy to do with free, well done boxed meals. Then you just need a sample size of few thousands instead of few hundred thousand.

The problem is, Macs are too expensive and underpowered these days. More important than developers are users. Right now the Mac is sort of a tax levied on iOS developers
Either we're talking past each other, or you haven't put all that much thought into the implications of the whole "shadows on the cave wall" metaphor. You're right in that Plato wasn't offering us advice for distinguishing fact from fiction. He was saying that as far as anyone can prove, it's all fiction.

Basically, I'm saying that instead of being prisoners, we have entered the cave voluntarily, and have delegated our senses to the wall. In addition to Plato's puppeteer, the one unavoidable agent of indirection between us and objective reality, we now have two, our senses and our screens.

If you treat screens and speakers as if they are literal manifestations of the cave wall, it's no longer an abstract philosophical point. I'm saying that the only responsible thing I can tell a child is to believe nothing they see on a screen until they're old enough to argue with me about it.
Even if it appears as a technical article, it's actually fake news one. Technically, the facts contradict the claims from the title and the article.

First two aspects are good. Battery sharing can really scale well and decrease production costs by standardization. And, a shared vehicle can reduce traffic amongst many other benefits.

"Information Sharing" - No thanks. I don't want a shared vehicle to be able to watch me go into my house. The more I see the future of increased connectivity, the more I detest it. I want technology to solve hard problems but without butchering people's right to privacy and undeserved pervasive intrusion in people's lives. I don't want a single IOT device in my house. No IOT locks, bulbs, fridges, coffee makers, speakers and... cars. I am almost angry thinking about the future.

The last point almost reads like satire in the video. Also, videos like this are 100% useless. It is fluff but no substance. Give us detailed plans, schedule, specifics on how you'll achieve all this, technology whitepapers. This video is utterly and completely useless.
Here is short summary taken from the linked Reddit post:

* root cause was a piggy-backed mail conversation where a legitimate mail correspondence/dialogue was continued by a hacker who sent over a macrofied .doc; the recipient opened it because it looked legitimate and would you please "Enable Editing"

* that system infected/contacted various other systems in the network; those systems were cleaned superficially

* two days later the firewall noticed outgoing traffic, so the infections were still ongoing

* suspicious activity was discovered on the domain controllers

* IT decided to shut down the internet connectivity

* the whole domain is going to be rebuilt

* although there was a policy in place to limit local admins, some systems/accounts were NOT locked down, for example some POS "presenter" software that needed local admin

* as to why the domain controllers were compromised: it is possible that the admins logged into infected systems with a domain admin to clean those systems

This whole thing really is special, because there are the usual stereotypes in play:

* macros weren't disabled company-wide or at least restricted

* local admins are a thing

* software that NEEDs local admin is still a thing

* admins might (!) have used domain admin credentials to enter suspicous systems

...and it happened to Heise, of all places.
I saw a talk from Megan Macedo recently where she suggested a new rule to apply when promoting something:

"You aren't allowed to persuade anybody of anything".

It's great advice because you can't really convince people of things anyway unless you have a lot of time or a lot of money.

When you don't have to worry about changing people's minds selling becomes a lot easier.

further ignoring mac in favor of an ipad framework that ALSO works on mac along with mac hardware refresh essentially ignoring heat issues(and keyboard issues) leads me to think apple is going to evolve past the mac completely. They just don't want users to use web apps on macs and lose their stranglehold on the app store.

Things like flutter/react are completely going to devour the platform specific space for everything except usecases that require specific hardware(which apple is also losing because they're ignoring scientific/gaming marketshare by cold-shouldering nvidia,ML and AAA game devs in general).

i think apple is trying to "hunker down" until internet speeds improve enough that everyone is using a streaming service for all the hardware intensive stuff and they can continue selling pretty thin clients like ipads/iphones/iARGlasses
It is odd, that C# needs foreach loop for bound check elimination.

Java supports this optimization for a wide range of loop types... since Java 7, I think. Normally I would argue, that Java is just ahead of curve, but Android has also gained supports for bounds check elimination in 2014-2015.

Either article does not tell us whole truth or Microsoft JIT is subpar by modern standards.

This [1] image is a perfect embodiment of everything you're saying. But I'd add that I think there's a dissonance in our belief in other people's naivete and the actual numbers. In particular trust in media has fallen off a cliff. Only 31% of people trust in mass media to "to report the news fully, accurately and fairly" at least a fair amount. [1] If you restrict the question to those 18-49 years old, it's 26%. People may not be able to precisely point to why they feel this way, but it's clear that people have become deeply skeptical of media in general. The reason this is relevant is because media, in turn, relies heavily on what you're talking about - images framed to convey a narrative.

I think what we really take issue with is something related but different. And that is people voluntarily believing things that confirm their biases, while ignoring or even denying things that challenge them. Pew did a nice piece on that here [3]. These [4] are just their poll questions, which are quite interesting. For instance, "spending on social security, medicare, and medicaid make up the largest portion of the US federal budget" - 41% of Americans incorrectly labeled that as an opinion. And of those that labeled it an opinion, 82% further incorrectly labeled it as false. Going the other direction, "increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour is essential for the health of the US economy" - 26% of Americans incorrectly classified this as a factual statement, and of those 83% claimed it was accurate. The same is of course true on both sides of the aisle, with the questions affirming as such.

People have a tendency of believing what they want to be true, while challenging (often quite aggressively) everything that goes against that, or even simply denying it. This can create the perception of a naive people being misled by malicious actors, but I think reality is that people tend to pick the views that they want to be true often for entirely subjective reasons that cannot be clearly qualified, and then work to find evidence to support that.

Your point that sleeping on the floor is "compulsion due to poverty" is something I started to think about alot since sleeping on the floor. It made me realise how much we ("wealthy people") isolate/distant ourselves from the ground. Sitting on the floor? That's weird, better sit on a chair or the comfy sofa. Sleeping on the floor? Even weirder. Walking barefoot (something I don't to, btw)? Ew thats gross!

But the result (or at least what I can say about myself) is that our range of motion gets worse every year, which ultimately leads to aches, pain and even worse stuff.

If one of the main arguments (that I hear all the time) against sleeping and sitting on the floor is "but you have to get up from the floor all the time, I couldn't do that", I'd argue that proves my point. Altough its might be just a biased gut feeling.
Perhaps that's one reason these events exist - FAANG and start-up schmooze fests sweetened with a sprinkling of cultural sugar frosting.

Of course that's the far side of the line - someone with no real income at all. But if your networking expenses are regularly on the far side of your income and you don't have some kind of track record to prove to yourself you can make the networking work, you're playing some very high stakes poker.
I couldn't find any information on the trajectory. The sphere of influence in which the gravitational attraction of the asteroid dominates over that of the sun has a radius of about 6km though. So as long as the probe moves inside this area, it has to orbit or spend fuel of the reaction control system (the ion thrusters are inactive in the vicinity of the asteroid, they'd also have only enough thrust to allow hovering in a distance of hundreds of meters (in the tens of milli-newtons)).

> There's RAD tools like WinForms and VB that let you drag'n'drop most of the UI if you're happy targeting a single platform.

Even if you want cross-platform native RAD development, there's options like Xojo / REALbasic [1], at least for Windows / Mac / Linux / RaspberryPi development. I'd bet that most of the Xojo developers are single-person coding shops, and certainly don't have big teams of developers & designers behind them.

Electron is definitely not the only option out there. Anecdata, but most of the people I know personally making money from single-developer cross-platform apps are using Qt, not Electron.
