There are two troubles:

1. The uplift of targeted advertising is unbelievable until you see the actual statistics. It's like slowly sipping a cup of coffee to wake up versus waking up to snort a line of crack.

2. Advertisers were abused and defrauded by adtech. Which has inspired all kinds of surveillance hellscape because the advertisers finally caught wise and have renegotiated to pay for actual performance only -- not clicks -- actually closed sales. But adtech wants paid if you do your research online, respond to an ad online, and then buy in store. And a whole lot of adtech now allows for that. Attributing an in-store purchase with no customer interaction to a prior web session by that same party.

The benefit of those two factors to the advertisers is such that we can't have a serious discussion about this shit going away without a law which assigns criminal penalties for being a beneficiary of the scheme.
The wonderful Robert Arthur short story "The Marvelous Stamps from El Dorado" is a great take on this theme.
People still use airports all of the time for regional flights despite the airports having crap local connectivity. The California HSR can still be incredibly successful if it’s as easy to get to as the local airports (including the public transit poor SJC).

What will kill it is terminating in places not even convenient enough for an airport location.
Though it was originally designed for block io, IIRC io_uring has since added support for network sockets.

Don't know how it compares to epoll performance-wise.
It is because that is not relevant. If you step on a foot, you apologize. You do not start talking about how you aren't a foot-stepper.
How would I turn the power back on when it goes out? It would be a 6 hour drive for me to the power plant. I’ll take my odds with the VPN and satellite internet connection! If someone wants to cause an outage they can drive their car in to a power pole, have an earthquake drop rocks off a bank and crush the pen stocks, have a river change its course and take out 10 poles, send little animals on to the insulators to cause short circuits, have branches fall on the power lines, have droughts make the power plant run out of water... all those things already happened. if some nerd hacks in to my PLC they can’t do anything worse than I’ve already done! Someone physically breaking in to the building could cause a lot more damage, they could just burn it down!!

AFAICT the upgrade path is still the same (0) and...it looked pretty painful when I first looked at moving from 1.x to 2.

I maintain a sizable 1.x codebase and am deciding what to move to, since 1.x is dead next year. I just don’t see a good reason to go to 2+. It’s a different framework. All of the UI libraries we built upon (ng-grid, angular-ui) are either gone or different enough that we will have to redo all of our code no matter what. If I have to switch frameworks anyway, I want to go with something simpler (no custom module nonsense, no annotations, no hierarchical dependency injectors, hell, no classes!) with a healthy ecosystem.

React with hooks, bootstrapped with CRA, is the clear winner for me. It’s just so much more straightforward to reason about, and way faster to build things with too. I made a toy app in Angular a year ago to check it out, and had a hell of a time even getting the simple data model working right. With React, day two had me already wiring up a dashboard with charted details that responded to a calendar widget I had customized to show QoS at a glance. I was looking at Vue too before I read up on react hooks, but once I saw functional components everywhere I was...erm...hooked. Sorry.

Now if only I can convince them to let me use ClojureScript...

First, condolences to Dr. Li’s family. As we speak of epidemiology and statistics, let’s not forget that every single “case” is an individual with family and friends, and behind each individual are doctors, nurses, and caretakers who risk their own health to help another.

Second, as noted by nkurz the contrast between bacterial and viral treatments is striking. Whereas we expect bacterial infections to be treatable and are alarmed when they aren’t (MRSA), we expect viral infections to simply run their course except for the few instances where they’re treatable (HIV, influenza) or even (gasp!) curable (HCV). We explain away the sad state of antivirals by pointing to the inherent biochemical challenges of fighting viruses [1] but maybe what we really need is a breakthrough — perhaps a miraculous fortuitous “penicillin” moment — so 100 years from now antivirals will also be a matter of course.

What we actually need in a practical sense is Kindle Unlimited but for web content.

And furthermore it could be a plurality of those kinds of providers aggregating content.

Deploy single-sign-on schemes, and websites might participate in a plurality of programs from different vendors.

But at the end of the day, you'd pay one or two "providers" a monthly sub, they pool the funds, take their cut, and do prorata distribution of the pool based on views, eyeball time, popularity of content, lots of ways.

No need to perform microtransactions from a banking perspective. You're going to eat $20 of web content this month, and so will lots of others. And then those views can participate in the pool and get paid monthly or something.
I think you're underestimating how fast 15 mph is. That's a 4 minute mile, a pretty extreme sprint for your average joe, especially if they've just fallen off of a vehicle. That's a good pace for a amateur or high school 100m sprinter, and it's the world record pace for 1 mile.

> Here’s how it works: A creator can cultivate a large, free audience on horizontal social platforms or through an email list. He or she can then convert some of those users to patrons and subscribers. The creator can then leverage some of those buyers to higher-value purchases, such as extra content, exclusive access, or direct interaction with the creator.

having a couple blogs/influencer pages with 20k+ followers are actually most useful (IMO) when starting new brands on new platforms and slowly monetizing (ala gary v's Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook as corny as he is it works)

IIRC the 1k true fans idea was walked back by its original author after they got feedback from industry folks describing how the model was basically impossible to implement in the real world.

This holds 100% true to my experience in influencer marketing and esports. Monetizing fans is really hard on passion alone. You need to create valuable calls to action and continuously produce content in order to maintain their attention. Once you 'lose' a fan (which only means losing their emotional focus, even temporarily) you often can't monetize them at all without significant re-activation effort. [0]Demonstrating this, large influencers lose extraordinary sums of money if they stop producing content for short windows of time.

This is why using influencers in marketing requires genuine strategy, and is the likely culprit behind so much 'hate' for influencer marketing.

Here's a source for your claim that nuclear is cleaner than (just about) everything else:

https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5...

if anyone wants. It blew my mind that nuclear is more than three times cleaner than solar, and on par with wind. (This was posted elsewhere here on HN.)

Those numbers don't include batteries, which afaik is an unsolved problem anyway, so if you include those then nuclear becomes cleaner than everything else.
Even worse for people with PTSD than for introverts.
The Work Number's entire sales pitch is... "We'll accept the data from you for free. You can give our our number and website to anyone who calls into your HR looking for employment reference, employment verification, etc. We'll field those calls for you."

They don't pay for the paystub data. The employers give it to them.

Although it's an invasion of privacy, to be sure, it actually does have some benefits for the employee.

In places outside San Fran, where people actually get conforming mortgages, having your data in The Work Number's database automates and cuts out the employment & income verification so that you don't have to track down records and submit manually and can potentially skip multiple must-connect phone calls between the lender and employer.

Note that it might have been optimized more in the meantime.

A lot of C++ projects (not all!) have relatively few dependencies. I think this "decades of optimized libraries" is a bit hyperbole.

Besides, libraries that were optimized for HW 20-30 years ago don't age all that well and are far from optimal these days. They also tend to still have a ton of bugs.

Now, I'm not saying there aren't cases where you really need to build on legacy library base. Merely that it's a bit rare case.
You have to allocate buffer per socket with io_uring, rather then reuse for each one that is ready. Most applications do this anyway though.
The propensity for lying, in order to protect the power structure, results in a major constraint on future options - requiring more lies. It is a vicious cycle that completely obliterates any potential strong-arm advantage a single party system may have. If for no other reason: this is why you don't lie, you have no idea how badly you screw your future self. Also, and I'm looking at you World Health Organization, anyone trying to soften the blowback from lying suffers major damage to their credibility.

But the Global Entry process doesn't depend on asking the state DMV if you're a legal resident... they ask separately for those documents, e.g., a passport.
The only thing I like about Angular is the dependency injection of services. Having "services" managed for you and just picking and choosing what you want is pretty nice.

What I don't like is the verbosity and boilerplate... here's 2 examples:

- Routing boilerplate is convoluted and time consuming. I think Nuxt.js has a much nicer implementation of SPA routing, where the filesystem is used to map the routes.

- Angular modules are verbose, redundant and don't even truely encapsulate dependencies anyway. You can easily create implicit dependencies by relying on services instantiated in higher level modules.... which is bad

I love using Typescript though!
That is for file IO, for which there were not many working async options available. I think the parent was rather interested in how it compares for IO loads where epoll & co are already alternatives.

Complexity isn't "bad" - complexity is a property of all evolving things, from code to life. In sciences, it just means we're collectively learning more, faster and better. Complexity is beautiful!
Great. In general it is a great acheivement as a lot of people can move a lot quicker cheaper and easier. Going through airline ...

But as china situation unfold, the arrangement of such ease to connect has a price to pay. Even airline would have the same issue one may say. But in 2003 when sars did it’s tolls it is mainly via airplane and slow train.

The speed one held the current chaos. No one can stop progress. But are all progress great. Wonder.

Some just minor but important barrier. The join border of the high speed between hk and china meant when the case is found (or at least high temp symptom) instead of sending the patient or blocking him, he comes the index patient in.
Isn't this largely what Patreon is, though? And there's a lot of people who are doing surprisingly well off of Patreon despite low subscriber counts.

I'd think the trick is to find the right niche- if you're too generic, you're up against the big personalities.
At night, I plug my phone in across the room from my bed, turn it on airplane mode, then power it down.

It's a wonderful moment that marks a healthy "disconnection" from the outside world, allowing me to have some quiet time with myself (or my partner).

Airplane mode ensures sure I'm not flooded with notifications first thing upon turning on my phone in the morning. Even if I need to use an app in the morning, I can take 15 minutes to an hour before I switch off airplane mode, which makes for calmer and more centered mornings.

The only thing you'll need if you want to adopt this change is an old school cheap alarm clock. I've been doing this for probably five years, and haven't looked back.

If you're anxious about missing emergency calls, you can optionally get a landline phone whose number only close friends & family have, and know only to use in case of emergency -- this step is optional, but can be achieved with Google Voice & some hardware for under $100.

Have you tried the 'file' command on various *nix systems (can download for Windows too)? It mightn't know this format but I think it will tell you if it finds compressed (zipped) data streams in common formats, which will be your first step since many files have some form of compression.

I'll also echo the other comment about reverse engineering the reading functions. Some formats only include certain structures if necessary so even if you have a lot of files you might be missing some example data to complete the picture.

I have been a Wacom customer for years.

I'm not a graphic artist, but I hate mouse cords and hate having to recharge mice or deal with batteries.

So a series of Wacom "puck" mice on one (over the years, several) of their digitizer tablets has been my mouse substitute at my desktop. I bought the high end ones. On an average of every 3 to 4 years.

They stopped making the puck several years ago. Mine was starting to wear out, so I finally made the leap to Logitech's G703 and the Logitech G PowerPlay inductive mat. So same benefit -- the mouse is just magically always charged.

If I hadn't already switched, I would have anyway after the Wacom selling data thing...
Yeah, that's a useful distinction. So it's excellent for ex. packages (hence https://www.archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-o...), but iffy for write-once-read-hopefully-never backups. (Although I've heard it suggested that this might flip again the moment you start test-restoring backups regularly)

Sorry to ask a very ametuerish question, but how is lossless compression of an image different from regular run of the mill compression (zip, 7z)? Is there any sort of underlying pattern or feature which is unique to image data that is leveraged/exploited for lossless image compression?
Oddly, I had a slightly opposite reaction to a similar experience. But, to be fair, it was mostly because of red tape.
I interviewed at Microsoft, got feedback something like, "you did pretty good, but you dont understand low level code enough for this team, you could do great somewhere else at the company."
Microsoft has a policy that you can interview only once per year. I didn't get to pick the team I interviewed for, and apparently they only interview for their own team.
So, I was basically told that I was good enough, but because of HR, I won't be hired.
That, for me, felt significantly worse than "sorry but you didn't get the job" generic feedback would have been.

No. Reaching the top of the knowledge pyramid in your subfield over time has remained constant (typically in your early to mid 20s, as you complete your PhD).

We have more sub fields, but that’s not particularly a problem - once you’re an effective researcher, jumping branches - and even trunks - is far from impossible. A few months surrounded with talented people and dedication is typically enough - eg my grad school advisor, a CS HCI professor, got into genomics when meeting his wife and went on to publish, as first author, genomics papers in nature.

See also the recent rise of machine learning - many of the top contributors to that field were not doing machine learning research 10 years ago.

Similarly, motivated high schoolers now learn things that you needed a PhD to tackle 100 years ago.

Knowledge is weird and non linear, and as humans we have many super powers: we stand on the shoulders of our predecessors, we build better ways to preserve knowledge, to share it, better ways to teach, better ways to test our theories, etc.

It took thousands and thousands of years of man hours of work to get us to basic calculus, something that a motivated high schooler can get very comfortable with in a few weeks at most. The most educated Roman citizen would take a bit of time to compute something as straightforward as (8238*2949), which is now something you expect elementary school students to compute in minutes at most.

If we could jump in time 100 years in the future and see what 18 year olds know and can do then, we’d probably be blown away.
> On Patreon, the average initial pledge amount has increased 22 percent over the past two years.

22% is not the same as 10,000%. Nowhere near it.

> Since 2017, the share of new patrons paying more than $100 per month—or $1,200 per year—has grown 21 percent.

Is this a statistics fail? My bet is that this is either $100 over all subscriptions (I pay about $30/mo for 7 or 8 creators on patreon, most in the $1 to $5 range), or the increase is from a number previously so small as to be almost inconsequential, meaning it's still almost inconsequential.

Twitch, on the other hand, I can believe. There's a much more immediate feedback loop there, and creators responding to your pledges directly.
I am Swedish and I remember watching that show when I was a kid, probably 20 or more years ago. Interesting that it is still a thing somewhere else.
They don't care. Until you can show them you know how often they're on Grindr and where their tricks live.

Or that they got a prescription filled. For Valtrex.

What would be helpful -- but that I am adamantly against -- would be tons of data drops, in communities across the nation, of local church leaders and local community leaders.
