“opting out of controversy”

I usually stay out of these fights but suppressing facts or opinions is something I don’t support. People should be exposed to things they don’t want to hear and learn how to do deal with them.

There’s an app called Fluid which allows you to run websites as thin Mac apps. It uses Safari instead of Electron so it’s not incredibly bloated.

In short, yes. We have lasw that handles behavior in the international sphere.
Same when I go camping in a natural reserve, without electricity: daylight is the sleep governor and it's incredibly effective and effortless, without even a sensation of jetlag.

But it's not the place for cerebral activity, where things works best after hours.

I guess in the end it's a matter of performing well under distractions or not. I often found that the reason for late night performance was due to the lack of interruption and all sorts of external stimulation that goes with daytime.

Now I wish I could find a middle ground.
> I expect they can make the claim that "family-friendly" and sanitized entertainment means never covering and exposing the "controversial" nature of the people in power.

FWIW, this is a show on HBO, which doesn't exactly give viewers the same expectation of "family friendly, sanitized entertainment" as some other Disney properties.
These devices are apparently already used for cheating. Here are some blog posts from Riot Games and ESEA mentioning direct memory access devices as cheating vectors and preventative methods if you are interested.

One of the worst things that happened to me in my last job is that I became important in the mid-level at work. Suddenly, I was expected to be at work earlier, be ready to rock at 8am, knocking meetings out and making decisions. I ran on fumes for years.

A few times, when critical bad shit happened after 5pm and I had to stay at work until midnight, I felt like I was the competent and motivated person that got me into that position to begin with. There was no way my bosses were going to let me saunter into the office at 1pm, after all the client meetings had already wrapped up... I definitely tried to convince them though lol
The latter. I saw an email thread go around to organize a betting pool, using venmo (with the obvious warning not to say it was for gambling in the memo) and had a huge "ah ha" moment for why that feature exists. It's perfect for ensuring collections & payouts happen correctly and no money goes missing, or "missing".

It'd be hard to crowd source for better odds on there, I'd think, since people disguise those kinds of transactions. Same as with drug purchases, which are also prohibited on Venmo so you can't mention them but are, obviously, some part of the activity on there, though unlike with betting pools Venmo's (previously, to me) weird social ledger thing isn't a killer feature for that.

Probably they could spot betting pools and put some rules in place to make it annoying enough to use the platform for that purpose that people would stop, though I don't know why they would. I'd guess illegal activity's far from a majority of their revenue, but I bet it's still significant. Probably certain transaction patterns get really common on either side of major sports events.
I think this is true in professional ball sports in sort of the inverse. Once you reach the highest level, then the focus is once again on defense. Defense wins championships.
Good, for a car that uses AI to control windshield wipers ( https://www.inverse.com/article/39877-elon-musk-tesla-ai-wip... ) You cannot tell me that Tesla cant be bothered to do something like simple driver attention checking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_drowsiness_detection

Tesla does not want to fix this issue- because they have to know that a large number of their buyers are wanting the car specifically to abuse the assertive technology.

When a rental Ford Fusion yells at me using Adaptive Cruise without sensing my interaction with the wheel you have got to be kidding me that Tesla cannot take the lead on this technology.
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I've always just assumed that everyone in pro sports is cheating in basically every way they think they can get away with.

I never had a problem with Lance Armstrong cheating because I assumed everyone else near the top of the pack was also cheating. If everyone cheats, it is absolutely still an earnest competition. Lots of other guys probably took just as many steroids as Barry Bonds did and didn't hit anywhere near as many home runs.

I also think that there need to be rules that are enforced, because there's no game without rules, but the rules are always inherently arbitrary, and I've never felt the urge to heap moral blame on the cheaters in addition to whatever punishment they get for breaking the rules... I guess I sort of unconsciously took the position that as long as no one is getting like, physically injured, bending the rules as far as they'll go (and breaking them sometimes) is just part of the game, and penalties are penalties.

It's hard for me to see much of a distinction between taking strategic fouls and violating the rules in other ways, weighing the likelihood of getting caught against the potential gain.

Despite all of this, I don't cheat when I play sports nor would I teach my kids to cheat, but when millions of dollars are on the line (maybe because there are millions of dollars on the line), it doesn't bother me that anyone would try to gain any possible advantage.

Firefox tries to recognize some personalized DNS servers and prefer them to DoH in cases where it finds them. The FAQ here suggests that work is ongoing and they are hoping tech-savvy DNS alternatives used for things like parental controls and ad blocking meet them somewhere in the middle in terms of making it easier to Firefox to auto-disable DoH when a user has explicitly opted in to more power user configurations.

Similarly related is the general idea is that if you have the tech savvyness to setup a PiHole in the first place, you should be able to find the Firefox settings on your devices to disable DoH, and Firefox isn't hiding those settings, they are just trying to make a default that is better for more people (the folks that aren't tech savvy and have a different threat model than the power user with a PiHole or similar).
7 bits directly coupled to a control of a filter cutoff, for example, will create a zip.
I doubt any living pianists can present substantially more than 127 discrete velocity values, however.

Regarding the former point you made:
let's not confuse a simple low-level means of remotely issuing continuous controllers with a limited bit value (MIDI CC's) with how you map it in your synthesizer or effect.
Smoothing, ramping, interpolating, filtering...
You are essentially mapping a coarse range to a finer range and you can apply acceleration curves, etc. there's no limit here, and there hasn't been in software synths/fx for 20 years on this. zipper noise is amateur.

MIDI is essentially a very simply synchronous wire, a stream of events in which the transport timing is THE timing framework, leaving mtc aside for the moment.

to call this protocol MIDI 2.0 is not accurate, as it's more like a meta-MIDI protocol much more like OSC.

all are physical transport agnostic, it's just that MIDI and its 5 pin DIN connector are ubiquitous, present on old gear (old gear is valued with music people...)

and you can connect 1 of those wire, pin 2 or 3 IIRC, directly to your microcontroller and be toggling your sound thingy faster than you can say "debounce"... it's stupidly simple, and the notion of "protocol negotiation" runs counter to the spirit of the original entity.

call this OSC ALT 2 or something...
> In the UK we have many people who claim to talk for the "working class" that as one of my friends put it "looked like they have never done a day of heavy lifting in their life". I wouldn't speak on behalf of the working class, I do a white collar job.

Let's take this rhetorical pattern for a spin around the block.

Here in the USA in the 19th century we had many people who claimed to speak for slaves who looked like they'd never been black a day in their lives. I wouldn't speak on behalf of slaves. I'm a free person.

Here in the UK during the Potato Famine we had many people who claimed to speak for starving Irish people who looked like they'd never been starving or Irish for a day in their lives. I wouldn't speak on behalf of the starving Irish. I'm well-fed and English.

Here in Wherever we have many people who claim to speak for sexually harassed women who look like they haven't been a woman for a day in their lives. I wouldn't speak on behalf of women. I'm a man.

It doesn't seem all that robust.

N95 masks are complicated to fit properly. For it to work you need a proper seal. The CDC says there is no general sizing guideline and recommends that the fit be tested yearly. I'm unsure how to go about doing this as an inexperienced individual.
We already have RT-PCR assays for COVID-19, which is pretty affordable in terms of reagents (whether that translates to affordability overall is a different story). There are supposed to be six labs in the US performing screening for COVID-19 this week [1].

There is also the possibility of a faster point-of-care CRISPR-based diagnostic tool that should be very sensitive (for instance, [2]). However, this is a novel diagnostic method. It is not outside of the realm of possibility that we could see it deployed in a matter of months, but that would require significant (probably unprecedented) collaboration between the developers, the CDC, the FDA, and manufacturing partners.

Edit: this is such a new method that I’m not sure what to expect with regards to its performance. There might be a high false positive rate, for instance.
In linear space (or should I say coding), operations like +, -, * <num>, average, a * 0.1 + b * 0.9 .. have a consistent, reasonable meaning with direct physical relevance. It is simple and preferable to calculate with linear values, but they don't fit well in 8 bits like sRGB does.

In sRGB, usual operations give weird results instead. Imagine when doing addition (e.g. light a + light b) you get something like

c = a + b # linear result
c = sqrt(a² + b²) # sRGB result (very simplified)

Instead of average (downscale 2 pixels), you get

c = a/2 + b/2 # linear result
c = sqrt((a/2)² + (b/2)²) # sRGB result (very simplified)

Maybe I messed up the formulas and used inverse transformations, but the point is, if you operate on sRGB values with the usual +,-,*.. operations, instead of adding/subtracting/averaging/.. the light/colors, you end up applying some functions, that are kind of similar, but not very close.

We are kind of used to it when dealing with computer graphics, but this is the reason why antialiased fonts look too thin (or thick, depending on whether it's light or dark), scaled images look darker (or is it lighter? and slightly off-color), and generally the graphics operations in sRGB give disappointing results.

Self-pardon's have never been attempted, but I believe there's some dicta suggesting it would raise Constitutional issues (though it's true that it's not explicitly barred by the Constitution). There's a whole separate issue over whether or not you can actually charge a President, but it wouldn't prevent a President from being charged with a crime related to actions taken prior to assuming office (or the extreme case of a President who had been convicted prior to assuming office, although I think that may prevent running in the first place).

Impeachment isn't a criminal process. It's a political process that rests entirely within the Legislative branch. So it's not as much an exception as a wholly separate proceeding.

Exactly, I commented above about how the cheating doesn't bother me that much, and I didn't say this because I didn't want to sound flippant, but sports are so not important enough to warrant government involvement.
I started a new job, started walking to/from work (c.2 miles/3km each way), started IF, reduced my caffeine intake dramatically.

For the first 2 months or so I was able to sleep early and wake earlier. Now I've got used to the exercise - that's my theory - I've shifted back to being more wakeful at night. Which is fine for work hours as that's flexible (but perception of early risers is that late risers are lazy, so still a little problematic). But, I'd like to shift my pattern to match my kids' schedules better.

That's not how DNS works.

Nothing wrong with a separate bed if that's what works for you. Some folks just don't really have compatible sleep schedules/habits, while otherwise being compatible. It's not like you have to lock the doors and stay apart all night.
I apologise for not being clear, but the point I'm trying to make is not around the angle bracket syntax, but with how light the DSL is and for any sort of logic syntax, you just escape back to Javascript.

JSX does not have conditionals or loops in its syntax. SwiftUI does.
To throw a mix of pitches and get zero missed swings on one of the biggest movement pitches in the league... is extremely unlikely. It's not like he was having an off day.

Can you please point that out? Your previous statement is factually incorrect. The law in question (CAA) grants a one time amnesty to religiously persecuted minorities from neighboring countries of India. Heck, even Sri Lankan Tamils (Hindus) are not included since that was a sectarian conflict. And that amnesty is one time for anyone who came in before December 2014. For the rest, the existing path to naturalize in 11 years remains. It does not affect any existing citizen whatsoever.

Regarding NRC, it was a supreme court mandated exercise which was hastily done in Assam without a well thought out process. There has been no proposal issued about a nationwide NRC and what it would look like. The govt also clarified there are no plans to execute NRC anytime the future.

I thought this forum is more on facts and less on rhetoric. I abhor the banning of anything critical but we should be wary of misinformation at the same time.
DNSSEC does nothing to provide DNS privacy, nor does it address MITM attacks between endpoints (your phone and laptop) and DNS servers; it's a server-to-server protocol. DNSSEC is moribund; practically no important sites run it.

DNSCurve/DNSCrypt are directly competitive with DoH, but in a post-DoH world, both are probably dead-letter standards.
Yeah, the reading experience was pretty comfortable. Just thought it was amusing that the author hoped I had a big monitor when the author constrains the code blocks to such a narrow width.

MS shot themselves in the foot with the store on PC. I don't get why I can't use the store from my browser. I want to sign in to the bloody store from any browser of my choice, click the download button and have store app do the downloads in the background.

One other problem the store has is that it handles poor network horribly. Or rather, it just can't work with poor internet.

Play store on the other hand is a master piece. It will open even offline (I tested it right now). It will show a cached page from last time.

Even settings work offline. And finally, the play store will alert you when you're back online.

MS store on the other hand will throw an incomprehensible ERROR Code at you.
> I have tried to learn Haskell a few times, always unsuccessfully

I suspect that people wanting to learn Haskell actually want to learn a statically typed functional programming language. And if you also want that language suitable to everyday problems, the kind of things you are dealing with at work, then Haskell is probably not the best one to start with.

I love how Scott Wlaschin presents statically typed functional programming languages as straightforward and pragmatic solutions to everyday problems:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLFl95c-IiU

https://pragprog.com/book/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-functi...

Once you're comfortable with that (and the way it is presented here really isn't very complex) then Haskell becomes a lot easier to understand.

But Haskell is very distracting because it is much more expressive and complex than than ML dialects for example, so it will be a big learning curve before someone is comfortable reading someone else's Haskell code. For other statically typed functional programming languages (f.i. OCaml/ReasonML, F#, Elm) that is not the case.
