“They could just...”

Pretty much every time I’ve thought this, it’s turned out I was underestimating the difficulty of doing “just” that.

If it were just that easy, wouldn’t they have done that already?
Super bugs are a mostly first world problem

Not true at all. There are several known resistant strains that have come out of developing countries.

Why? Antibiotic use can be rampant - in many countries you can buy them without a prescription.
Used it also while in beta. Pretty stable and fast (on Android). Thumbs up to all the MS team
Corporate buzzwords are how workers pretend to be adults
You (hopefully!) don't have six or seven 45 minute back-to-back meetings, with a few minutes of designated "passing time" to travel between them.

With those constraints, it's hard to develop a schedule that sticks to round numbers. This is especially true if you want to minimize downtime: your officemates can be trusted to productively--or at least quietly--occupy a few minutes of downtime, but many schools don't seem to think kids can.

My high school, for example, ended at 2:18pm (I can still picture the clock), but I think this was a consequence of starting at 7:30am.
I guess he is thinking about situations where you would use a negative fill
You said you didn't want to "unilaterally extend benefits to a whole bunch of people", not that the cost couldn't increase even the tiniest amount.

But even so, smoothing out the curve some might be better overall even if the max amount drops.

Also you could extend the curve so that 'benefits' go negative at the high end. Now your budget is fine...
Presumably the #3 became the #2, when the original #2 was killed.

I see your point - do they just say #2 to sound impressive, however, they seem to know the structure of AQI pretty well and folks get promoted into that role when a death occurs, so I’m going with “likely true”.
It's been continuously escalating, like a ratchet strap, and I don't understand how you see this as much different than what previous administrations have done.

They just don't care about hiding shit anymore because nobody understands/does anything significant to revolt.
Garda officers said they were hopeful advances in technology would one day enable them to access the bitcoin so it could be sold.

At which point Bitcoins value would be approximately zero... :-)
Agreed! Obviously I’d take my loved ones into consideration.

If the only people around are my 80-year spouse, I’m not going to put that burden on them whatever the cause of death.
Some Nuances of Undefined Behavior in Rust
What I don't get is how renewable energy are supposed to be cheaper though they still need massive subsidies.
Starting at 6yo, I woke up to an empty house & got myself fed and off to school. It was a rural area & I walked a dirt road to the bus stop.
This was the early 1970s & we kids felt an expectation to manage their own affairs.

Regarding school start times, I've long said that we do it backwards. Elementary school should start first & high school last.
Reading philosophy late at night helps me sleep. Fitting.
Their? Always lovely to find new ways to "other" people.

Their which? Levantine, Egyptian, Traditional, contemporary... "their" music stands perfectly on it's own... you're just not familiar with it.

Not sure that a piece on Vice impressed with a "westernized" "Arab" music is the way to go, but my favorite Lebanese (diaspora) band is "Soapkills" (الصابون يقتل) and everything مشروع ليلى (Mashrou' Leila).

if you want to kill them that is. Pee need to be diluted with water before being used as a fertilizer.
Having used the TypeScript client generator and contributed the F#/Giraffe and F#/Azure Functions server generators, I disagree :)

Do you literally mean unusable, or it just didn't fit your stylistic preference?
Would love to see this turned into a website that does recommendations based on zip code.
"Video sharing sites have been telling us what is ok and what is not ok to say. " - not super sure about this. Examples?

The first clause is really misleading and I don't think it's completely true. I understand the fight against big tech, but I'm not convinced they block expression (unless you're in China) I get that they might screen content for appropriateness (e.g law abiding). Agreed, that they may block users, but still fairly sure people are able to post what they want.
Avoid advertised products?

I'd recommend latex foam. Material is more expensive so there's less wiggle space to apply huge markups.

What causes the most damage to my old T-shirts is deodorant stains. :(

For shirts I run through the dryer, they don't seem to have suffered much by it. But I don't run printed designs through the dryer, because they take serious damage that way.
It's hard to want to choose Clojure when it's hard to know where to start. I saw "CojureScript" followed by "ColjureCLR" and just blacked out... I'd like to learn a lisp and I hear clojure is the jam, but seeing that ecosystem exists, while flexible, makes it seem like 90% of it will be learning the tooling and not the language... It just makes me think "hmmm. I need the JVM, might as well use Java... at least it'll be predicatable straightforward, and EXTREMELY well documented, in it's convoluted-ness[1]"

Can someone please sell me, or assure me, otherwise?

[1] Which is also high... I can barely get a JVM project running these days with the plethora highly foreign of build tools, IDE dependencies/configurations, and language settings. Maybe that's just par for the course in 2020 on the JVM, with great power comes great complexit?
Very normal in the non-rich parts of Southeast Asia.
Citations tend to be a better indicator of impact. There are some interesting analysis here [1]. MIT has the most citations, and they've also published the most papers by far. If considering citations per paper, MIT falls in the middle of the pack. Toronto is an outlier with a very high number of citations per paper.

NeurIPs is a big conference covering lots of topics, though. All of this says relatively little about MIT's true impact on deep learning in the last eight years.

Subsidize it until the cost per unit is cheaper than fossil fuels due to economies of scale, then the subsidies are no longer necessary
Just stumbled upon this site, and it seems like a really good resource to learn about those concepts, and it provides the information in a really nice interactive way.
I think the world is too polarised to even realistically attempt.

Tabs vs space? Auto indent? Supported languages? Colours? Terminal only? Size (file and app) constraints?

This is even before we enter discussion on modal or not.

I think it more realistic to understand that editors are like neighbourhoods. They come in all different shapes and sizes and each has their own vibe. Some will burn you, some you'll feel welcome in...

That’s quite the fantasy you’ve costructed for yourself.

Quality of life is just a sham invented by politicians to keep the plebs from demanding... quality of life?

And since you mentioned a 747 as an example of Americas greatness. Well the 747 is but we have been witnessing the real life consequnces of the ‘greed-is-good’ approach to business on a once-great engineering company.
So I have a SoloKey. How do I check what firmware it is running? Is the firmware upgraded automatically, or do I have to do something? The SoloKey website from some quick skimming doesn't seem to have any information on the topic.

Yeah, the ceo of charity would be really happy.

Why doesn any argument about "a LITTLE less profit" must be countered with reducting to absurd? I really would like to know why did you make such argument.
As a less cynical observation than a sister comment, I think this is partly due to how current tools work, or possibly even inherent to the technology. Just look at the number of ML examples where you never even get to see a single example of the data you are working with. Interactivity is even rarer, certainly because it doesn’t scale, but maybe also for the somewhat pedestrian reason that interactive UIs doesn’t come natural for either the tools and/or the people using them.

Then, there’s this issue of “explainability”: if you want to direct some generator you need to find out how the concepts you want to work with are encoded in intermediary layers.

To be fair, all this isn’t much of a secret, and there are quite a few projects doing interesting things. Magenta comes to mind, or GANBreeder.
How does this compare to the JSON:API spec?

Not in my experience. I saw a tree that was half dead come back to life from being peed on regularly for months.

Furthermore, the idea I had was not that urine would be the only fluid the tree would get, but that peeing on a tree would mean flushing the toilet one less time per day. Most toilets use premium tap water, not grey water, and water shortages have been a big global issue.

Plus tree were dying from drought in California by the millions when I had the idea. I'm sure peeing on them would have been less deadly for most of them than extreme drought.
Providing free healthcare, free education and free food to those who need it is quite different from being treated like a child.
> Secession started after Lincoln was elected, but before he took office, what actions could he have taken? His abolitionist rhetoric was enough to trigger a civil war. That's a pretty big boat rock.

There was no risk of abolishing slavery at the moment. And pro-slavery side scored series or political victories prior war, partly due to own increasingly heated rhetorics.

Real question about whether slavery or not was limited to new territories. And that was primary about long term risks - new territory means new state to vote.
If I'm the author of the tool, I can impose whatever I want, no? It's not like people have a God-given right to have Google tag photos with genders for them.
In some countries, you get the mattress inside an airtight/watertight packaging, and you only get a refund if you return it (yourself or for some shipping cost) while still in that packaging.

This means you can only get a feel for the softness/hardness but not breathability (due to the packaging). On the other hand, it means prices are sane.

Personally, I prefer this system to the US one, where the ethical purchasers subsidize the unethical purchasers and unethical, greedy sellers. YMMV.
A 'no raw data, no science' outlook can resolve the reproducibility crisis
What leads you to believe that IQ would be a meaningful assessment of Neanderthal intelligence? Are you suggesting that the intelligence of an entire species can be synthesized by IQ? What are your criteria for characterizing intelligence? What are the measurable signifiers for these criteria, and how reliable are they? How would you test or confirm the results?

Why do you prioritize genetic analysis over other forms of evidence that actually provide meaningful and multifaceted views of Neanderthal behaviour?
Connect with few freelancers and then deal with them directly.
What's wrong with workers protesting business decisions? Ignore the culture war angle for a second; what if they were protesting apolitical business decisions from management that they believe would be calamitous to the financial fortunes of the firm? What if there is mismanagement at play? Then what's the recourse besides organizing for collective action- Speaking up at all hands, just to get rebuffed? Leaking bad news to the press? Breaking the chain of command and reporting to the board directly?

Long have engineers and other workers complained of clueless MBAs. Why go to bat for the pointy-haired bosses? Haven't you ever worked at an org where product leadership screwed up, leading to layoffs anyway? Or management overruled the technical concerns of the engineers? Or pushed them towards something that was simply unsound for the product and the business as a whole? Pursued strategy by fiat, where the only check against their power is the board?

People imagine tech unions will just be a rehash of Industrial Era blue collar unions, but they have the potential to be something more- a way for the rank and file to finally have the clout to push back against bad engineering decisions from poor leadership.

There is at least one example that comes to mind where a union forces corporate leadership to make business decisions that could potentially help the company stay competitive- and thus protect all of their jobs:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13986889

Finally, as shareholders themselves, why shouldn't employees protest against questionable business decisions? What stake do they have in a company if they are expected to unthinkingly carry out orders?

Even Phoenix rarely hits 50C and you'd have to be crazy, or have a broken AC system, to let the inside of your house get that hot. So that leaves, what? Desert countries where AC isn't widely used?
I was curious to experiment with the different use cases of Vision's Rectangle Detection framework in iOS and came up with this. A credit card scanner that crops the card and performs a perspective correction. The idea was to stay away from Regular Expressions for parsing the digits of the card. Hence, I created a movable rectangle that allows the user to select the region of interest and extract the text from it!
I had a single server hosted at scaleway for a year or two, purely for "offsite" monitoring of services hosted elsewhere.

I only had one complaint; using their online control-panel it was impossible to set reverse DNS for IPv6 addresses - something that you need if you want to send email.

Otherwise the service was stable, reliable, and cheap. I retired the instance last month, but that was due to practical reasons rather than unhappiness with their services.
How would you grow this?
This would be great! Of course, a big beneficiary of this policy change would be Google, since Chrome and Gmail would presumably be two of the most-switched-to apps.

I'd love to be able to use Firefox Focus as a default browser, especially for Siri-based searches. I think there's probably a way to use Shortcuts to pass a search to Firefox Focus, but I've not tried figuring this out (and found Shortcuts to be buggy last time I tried it — even Apple employees couldn't figure out the issue I was having).
OAS is incredibly verbose and the quality varies greatly between languages, runtimes and the generators being used. It doesn't help that the swagger team is split from the openapi team with competing codegen products.

I find GRPC to be much better on server-side and grpc-web + webassembly is starting to be a serious competitor on the frontend as well.
Then perhaps they should take remote work more seriously.
Do yourself a favor and skim your software project of all non-technical people
A lot of practical advice and experience in this Feb 20 article on lessons learned (so far) from Singapore's experience: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2761890
If they literally turn out the lights then yes.

Typically what happens in the low-end hosting world is that smaller providers get bought out by larger ones, (though large in this sense might mean a 4-person company with 200-1000 virtual machines gets acquired by a company 2-5 times larger). At that point you'll probably have your stuff running and you'll be "invited" to migrate.

But in short you should always assume your stuff is going to disappear; take (offsite) backups, have (offsite) monitoring, and design applications to cope with rebalancing/relocation/redeployments easily.
Scientists develop low-cost solution that generates electricity from air
I worked in the Utility Software area for a while. Everything related to energy in Germany looks like corruption if you look to closely.

Everyone is buddies with someone in politics, otherwise screw your career.

Laws are mainly pre written by the industry which is afraid of the risks associated with tackling the challenges involved in climate change. But also afraid of doing nothing, since this would make them clear targets for disruption through voters. So when they do change something it is always in extremely small steps, limited in scope, without changes to the wider system.

While politics give a clear sense of direction regarding renewable energy, the whole thing seems to be to complex for politicians to fully grasp.
This article signals to me that we may have reached ‘peak microservice’ and should now expect a flood of blog posts extolling the virtues of monoliths and lots of industry effort to combine microservices into self-contained monoliths.
Researchers pinpoint why megaprojects like HS2 often fail
Yeah that's me. My wife and I each have our daily drivers (Honda Accord and VW Golf TDI), which we use every day. We also have an old Honda Odyssey for long road trips with kids and dogs, and a Ford Ranger for my side work in building and maintenance.

Except for the TDI, these are all cheap cars bought used for between $2000 and $5000. They have non-overlapping roles that can't be consolidated into a car that's anywhere near as cost effective as the four are separately. Not yet anyway.

To me, cars are like knives. It doesn't make sense for me to have just one or two, because my needs are so varied.
I’m not sure about the exact mechanisms of drug efficiency. But there are well-known patterns in molecular biology, auch as specific sequences in proteins reliably forming specific 3D structures.

If these models produce novel but (somewhat) effective structures, it must be because they pick up on less obvious patterns in the data. To be able to describe these would seem to super effective.
Do renewables need massive subsidies to sustain themselves or do politics offer massive subsidies because they want to have even more renewable energy?
Most of my T-shirts survive this (and I love having things come right out nice and dry) but there are 100% cotton and 100% wool clothes that shrink. I try the lower temperatures but the only real sustainable way I found was to lose weight continuously so I can fit in them. The others I just send to the laundry guys. Don't know what they do but it usually comes back nice.

Considering how popular synthetics are these days, I suspect it's because they use small combo washer/dryers in Europe. Certainly my British washer/dryer combo did a good job.

In it, the creator of Rails says:

In terms of the tooling that I wanted and I needed to create web applications. I just created all that stuff for myself. By hand. I mean, it’s totally doable

And that's how I feel about my choice of using Clojure.
Something can be completely expected and explainable while still being depressing. I don't see how that's surprising.
This article came in a right time for me.

My team is assigned to think how to send "secure emails" to customers. The thing is that those emails contain documents as attachments which can contain names and social security numbers. Use case is that customer buy these documents from our website and they can be delivered to email.

We already told that email is insecure by design to do things like that, but now I am thinking about other possibilities. Best I can come up with is encrypted attachment, but that's way too difficult for average customer to open it with public key.

How have you handled situations like this?

It seems very fair - even overly cautious! - to push the inevitability of that out to 2100 when many would say it is already in progress.

Correct me if I am wrong, but OpenAPI is not telling you how to design your API. OpenAPI is a way to describe/document your API similarly to API Blueprint. JSON:API prescribes how your JSON responses should look like.
I agree. Interesting anecdote followed by simply moronic commentary tacked on to the end. And no, diversification is not a 'free lunch'.

Decades ago when I worked in a lab, "high-throughput screening" was definitely on the list of buzzwords.

Given what I saw back then, I'm struggling to understand how there could possibly be "a library [..] of 6,111 molecules at various stages of investigation for human diseases" (a.k.a. "Drug Repurposing Hub") which hasn't already been partially or fully screened for interesting antibiotic activity.

Could it be there's more fame (and funding) in a project where you can publish a paper and get headlines about "ML" and "superbugs", than in actually testing a library of existing compounds to see if any of them kill E. coli?
You are ignoring the nuclear waste. We are just burying it in caves which is not really a solution.

I doubt they keep it closed as a (dubious) security measure. Likely they believe the source gives them some sort of competitive advantage. (Not saying they're right or wrong about that, just that's likely what they believe.)
