Npm can be pretty nice if you know what you need (which might not be the case always; the modern web stack can get pretty deep).

But I still like:

And the accompanying example repo:

I'm not eniterly clear on what parcel/webpack does better/simpler - maybe windows support?

I certainly see how one might prefer yarn over npm for dependency management, though - so maybe npm isn't as nice a build tool anymore?

So the FDA should be more lax on requirements for approval?
Should they reduce the Preclicnal PharmTox requirements? How long should a cancer trial take if it has 500 brain cancer patents to enroll and it measures improvements in survival that takes over a year? Should Pharma just one study or should they do a coulple of serially run clinical studies to understand the toxicities and how the drug works best? I'd love for development timelines to be quicker, but I need a Gantt chart to better understand where the time savings would come from without compromising the safety and data supporting efficacy. Help me understand.

Also.
Most substantial patents are filed way before the approval of the drug. Rarely if ever has a drug had, for example, a composition of matter patent for 20 years after approval-- even with the extensions for regulatory delay that the USPTO allows. Not to say that Pharma don't extensively engage in product life-cycle management, sometimes very questionably extending exclusivity of products, and that is something that should be addressed.
I think that if, then only in terms of cost.

Every quarter or so I do a 1500km(935 mile) trip and back. Nowadays it takes me two days, because I realized that spending around 20h behind the wheel without rest is simply dangerous.

My car's highway range is about 440 miles - but I rarely drive that far without refueling because the longest distance between my usual stops is 350 miles. And once stopped I don't just fill up an move along - I stretch my legs, grab something to eat etc.

My point being: given that the newest Model S achieves 370 miles and my favourite spots all happen to have superchargers I could probably pull this off in a Tesla adding maybe one stop and one hour to my trip.

We're there in terms of range. Now all that is needed is a reduction in cost.
Sounds like some lazy logic to me. Yeah, spectrum is crowded, and for very critical stuff you must operate with the assumption that any one frequency or band may become unavailable. Oh wait, we have things to deal with this, either frequency hopping, standby-links, DSSS, etc.

I don't know much about Thales but I am inclined to tell them to piss off.
I'll give one: How do I add a layer to a picture in gimp? Say I want to overlay a logo onto another image and then just save that resultant image.

In MS Paint, it's like 30 seconds of work: Crtl+A, Crtl+C from one image, make sure that it's a transparent copy, Crtl+V in the other image, wangle-jangle the box to be correctly positioned, save it, done.

In gimp? Good God, it's at least 10 trips to google to figure that out.
To add to this discussion, most of the frequency bands allocated to amateur radio are not super useful. The 2m band is basically only good for high-ish power (>1w) land mobile communications because the antennas are fairly large. The aeronautical band right next to it is only there because when it was started, the Very in VHF wasn't hyperbole. UHF is actually much better for them because you don't need a huge antenna sticking out into the wind stream but can get more or less the same range. Similarly, the lower bands are basically useless outside of their current amateur radio purpose because nobody is going to carry around a 20m dipole to connect to their cellphone or wifi router. The only exception would be maybe the 13cm through 1.2cm bands which I could see the telcos gunning for in a few years.
They are important, but not as important as they are to transportation. The quantities of oil required for fuel production dwarf the quantities required for plastics and other important chemicals. It's still a sizeable amount but not even close to what gets burned every day.

It's just that fossil oil is - relatively speaking - very cheap compared to other sources.
Why do you think newspaper cartels will give you a vigorous free press? Historical evidence suggests that is not the case.
Another reason (next to the ones about GANs etc. that have already been mentioned) is also that it's easier to fool detection systems by just making up more data---there's a heavy imbalance going on here, and that does not even account for issues with real images, such as artefacts, or damage, and so on.
Unfortunately there is not a clear segmentation here between what NIH funds and what ultimately becomes the product available on the market.
NIH often fund basic research, while others pick that up and attempt to make a drug out of it. This is super simplifying it, but it's a complex process with lots of organizations and many funding sources.

In addition to public funding of NIH research, it takes a commercial company (pharma) well beyond $1 billion to get one successful drug on the market.

She was about 2 and a half when they were born. To be more specific, we actually had twins. And she only did it to one of them. Explaining things are what we tried first - its always our first goto - explain, redirect, etc.

When we tried to explain things, she would mostly just ignore our words and change the subject. There was even a period of time where even mentioning "baby" would cause her to yell "NO BABY!".

BTW, you might have heard of the "terrible twos". But the "threenager" stage was much worse for us.

Some of the defiance is kinda funny, depending upon your sense of humor. Like when my wife said "I hope when you get older you call mommy to tell her how much you love her", and she said "I'm going to call you to tell you how much I don't love you."

It's a lot better now, but she has always been pretty persistent and strong willed. At the end of the day, you get what you get. We have some friends with the most amazingly behaved first child that didn't care for our kid's behavior and some of the stuff we just let her do. Then their second kid was more like ours and after that they had more sympathy.
I think that HTTP/2 + Push + EMS will eventually become very interesting. Without push, there's a lot of separate connections that will happen for a lot of users on a lot of sites/systems. I think that there will be some break out platforms to come from this.

i have a fun game to play ---let's compare superpowers. i mean geopolitical superpowers!

china has a much smaller government than the u.s. in so far as it's yet to become a beauracratically overgrown sovietized system.

on the other hand , they have no rights, the state does as it pleases without legal need to explain itself, and there are no meaningful separations of power through regionalism (known as state soveriegnty in the u.s. ) nor through separation of powers.

the ccp is the executive branch that openly rules all. in the u.s. no one openly rules all, and the shadow government is accountable to know one but most people don't really even acknowledge it's excistence.

frankly, all states have shadow or wanna be shadow governments. only in the u.s. is it so firmly in charge .where as in china, it's out of the shaddows.

i prefer my shaddow government staying int rhe shadows. I prefer my regional governments strong, and i prefer this becasue it empowers the most powerless individuals against the state. that being said, all mature institional systems are partially defined by how well they operate to drain the populace of wealth property and purchasing power. it seems like the u.s. is more mature than china at this point in time.

but that could change in a heart beat. china could be worse and better. u.s. could be worse and better.
bottom line is i wish my chinese language skills were better. i'm always impressed by how many chinese speak english but how many white skinned non-chinese don't speak chinese.
>Riot Games expressed disappointment about the court action, saying it has been “cooperating in good faith with the department to address its concerns” since the investigation began in late October.

Honestly, how often is the company actually co-operating in good faith? It just doesn't seem like something a company with a reasonable lawyer would ever do.
Sure they can. It's just France.

This is akin to shutting down the 27 MHz band for some other purpose, it isn't going to happen unless there is a very good reason for it and no single commercial entity should be able to monopolize a chunk of the spectrum for worldwide use if it is already in use.

X570 boards has thunderbolt merketing on it, so it seems that thunderbolt will now become a normal feature on AMD.
It really does suck. I think the worst thing is that now it’s all bells and whistles I don’t feel like I can properly trust it not to have changed settings on my files, or accidentally shared things with people it shouldn’t be sharing things with. The complications feel like that suddenly becomes many times more likely. I don’t want another social network. I don’t want a file based media “experience”. I don’t want to have to get my head round “features”. I just want a folder that syncs across my devices without me having to do anything.

Call me a Luddite, but the thing I’ve paid Dropbox for seven years for is its “set and forget” simplicity. I’ve paid them hundreds and hundreds of dollars and I’m pretty sure they just lost me.

I wonder if any electric cars are going to get swappable battery packs? That way you could get an instant recharge, and for racing, it would make battery pack heat manageable by just swapping out the hot pack. It might even provide an advantage over ICE race cars, as fueling is often the lengthiest operation in pit stops.
Timeouts worked great for us; the trick we found was just to be deterministic about them. We gave our kids a countdown warning and then invariably applied the same consequences when the countdown expired. After a couple applications of a 3-2-1 countdown followed by a timeout, our kids reliably responded by "2".

The other observation I made was that it doesn't take much of a consequence at all to make this work. My initial intuition was to scale the "punishment" by the severity of the incident, but really, a 5-10 minute timeout does just as much good as a longer one, and is much easier to apply. Anything you can do reliably and without effort would, in my case, almost always work; the point is to avoid the power struggle.

> My GPU drivers never bork the machine like they do on Linux, just a couple of seconds black screen and business as usual.

None of that has to do with the kernel/user boundary. It's that dwm does a better job recovering than x11. Wayland also does a better job recovering.

> Same applies to USB drivers not doing a kernel panic when plugged on.

Like I said, Linux has had USB drivers in user space for longer than NT, and I've def recently had NT USB drivers bluescreen my system.

> Naturally there is always a part that only the kernel is allowed to own control over.

I mean, not necessarily. I've seen true ukernels run GPU drivers entirely in user space. It's just that NT isn't at all a ukernel. They just like to call it a hybrid because the executive is a different folder in their source code, lol.
> arguably work with nation-states to harm other nation-states

The claim by Mueller that the emails were stolen by Russian operatives is an incredible stretch of the imagination given the following:

* The public audit logs during the leaks provides clear evidence that the transfer must have happened locally using a USB drive because the transfer speed was too fast to happen over the internet -- Bill Binney and some other ex-NSA whistleblowers did tests to verify this[1]. Which makes it seem quite likely it was leaked by an insider of the DNC.

* Where did the data provided by the report (such as "XYZ searched for 'russia' on the DNC servers") come from? You might think the NSA, but all NSA intel is classified and so the President must have declassified it (which we would've heard about). It seems incredibly likely that this "evidence" was provided by the third-party "cyber threat intelligence" company which the DNC gave their email server to instead of the FBI when they broke the chain of custody.

Now, it is still possible that it happened -- but it is at the very least an incredibly suspicious claim.

Isn't FDA a factor in delay rather than throughput?

> If investment costs/risk aren't limiting abundant new drugs, what is?

If we had lots of new drugs available for testing in the first place, they would still require the 6y minimum of trials, then a few years for approval. So FDA doesn't really sound like a good reason to single out.
I don’t think differing views on IP is the root cause here. It seems to me like it’s a convenient cover story, because shaping public opinion so starkly doesn’t help the battle over IP.

Perhaps, but it's impossible to judge the merit of said argument since you failed to make it.

I don't know what you mean by "court enforced public atheism." The right to express your religious views is protected in the United States by the 1st Amendment. And on the contrary, U.S. currency reads "In God we trust."
It's the only way to make a really cross-platform GUI app. Code once, run everywhere. Many devs/designers also like web tech for letting them make it look and feel almost any way they can imagine.
I find the blog posts discussing the report more interesting than the report itself. Atheists/agnostics don't believe in gods (i.e. the ones you pray to that control the world and universe), but that doesn't mean they dismiss outright any possible supernatural belief. There are some outspoken atheists that will certainly take this position, but that's not the definition of an atheist.

Personally, I'm a non-believer (along with almost half of my country) but I still like the ideas behind some form of an afterlife or reincarnation. It's soothing (and harmless) to think that a deceased loved one's spirit may live on in some other form.
Only if you redefine atheism to mean theism, as in "they believe in atheism! Can't you see?"

>Supply and demand (or, more technically, the slope of the demand curve) is an old wives tale?

Yes. The market doesn't work based on some naive untouched "supply and demand" curve. Both supply and demand can be manipulated, and every weakness of the employee (who has the more need and the less information) can be and is exploited.
Erm, the point about Latinos is that they're a group almost entirely defined by socio-cultural elements. Latinos are not a random sample of the entire population, so there is no reason to expect them to have the same distribution of genes as the entire population. But obviously, there is no genetic criterion for being Latino. There are, e.g. Latinos with white European ancestry and Latinos with Mayan ancestry. Brazil is a massively diverse country, and yet pretty much all Brazilians are (by US standards) "Latino".

There is no respectable scientific or genetic definition of "race". Race is a socio-cultural construct. Naturally, there are rough correlations between genes and "race" in some instances. Lots of characteristics are roughly correlated. But by that loose standard, ”sofware engineer" would be a genetically defined category too.

As an author of some niche open source, I've tried simple licensing like that (e.g., "GPL, or ask me about other license"), but the software had only a few commercial users that I know of, and I never made a penny that way.

You need commercial users who want to use your stuff enough, and the GPL/LGPL/whatever license won't work for them, such that it will get pushed up to someone who'll follow through and negotiate a license.

(You also need it to not quietly be used by parties ignoring the license, like has happened many times with Linux and certain GNU-ish libraries that would be expensive to reimplement.)
Good points!

Depends on the fishhead. One of the best meals of my life involved lingcod cheeks at the Tjoruhusid in Isafjordur, Iceland.

If you can imagine the difference between leavened bread and non-yeasted bread - it's a bit like that. The cheeks specifically were lighter, fluffier, and more buttery in comparison to the otherwise delicious but more dense fillet.

I don't understand the resistance I saw in the article. I say bring it on: 64 cores is great. Cost isn't an issue because everything trickles down eventually.

Modern operating systems have plenty of things to do with multiple cores. Just having extra cores and running multiple single-threaded applications makes for a smoother experience. With actual multithreading, eg compiling, graphics rendering things trivially get better. That was certainly the case going from 4 to 16 using a 1950x when I upgraded my desktop.

The real limit will probably become bandwidth to keep all those cores humming at full speed. I can easily see a future where we'll routinely expect some cores to be io or ram limited and that particular performance tradeoff will be commonly known to non-technical people. (Not just CS, dev / ops datacenter types).

This kind of tradeoff is already in the current 32 core offering AFAIK.

I agree with the other commenters, Slack shouldn't be responsible for managing workplace harassment.

You are being downvoted because people have problems separating the two since they've been so tightly coupled for millennia at least in western civilization.

But you are right, nothing in "atheism" prohibits someone believe there is an afterlife, or ghosts, or reincarnation, etc. Atheism just means you don't believe in gods; with a little imagination an afterlife can still exist without any overlords.
