My biggest objection to Adwaita is that it’s awfully wasteful of space, especially on its buttons. As a particularly serious example, on my effectively-1500×1000 laptop, running the Inkscape 1.0 beta with its Win32 theme instead of Adwaita roughly doubles the canvas size available, assuming one sidebar open. (For more info about this, including also the woes of Inkscape’s Win32 look and feel—and Inkscape is honestly one of the very best GTK apps for nativeness on Windows, though this 1.0 beta has various regressions—skim through https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/879 .)

For starters, I think you’re underreckoning how many things look platform-native on Windows. To be sure, increasingly many things forsake it, primarily software using web tech to render, but there’s still a lot out there that’s fully native look-and-feel. And then there are degrees and degrees of native appearance—and what the definition of native is has shifted a couple of times over the course of the last two decades in Windows (the first form I have in mind will look different on XP, 7 and 10 from the same code, but I’m counting all those styles as one type of native). Anything that draws its own title bar is on thin ice, it’s probably doing the wrong thing, though it can be carried off well. (Office does it well, Chrome OK, GTK apps where they draw the title bar uniformly badly.) And then there are other widgets like dropdowns (<select> in HTML parlance) where GTK ones just behave in the wrong way, file pickers that are unfamiliar and don’t work right, &c.

Oh yeah, GTK apps seem to typically be pretty bad at high-DPI on Windows. The GIMP handles its canvas scaling (i.e. the definition of “100%”) incorrectly, but has no other major issues; Inkscape has major issues (see the earlier link); EasyTAG has major issues that can be mostly worked around by overriding Windows’ treatment of it (and 2.4.3 made its appearance even worse, but fortunately (?) I had to switch back to 2.4.2 because 2.4.3 is basically completely broken (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/easytag/issues/5), and no one seems to care); those are the only three GTK apps I have at present.

Wikipedia is written by a much smaller (from what I've seen) and far more cliquish group than in the old days. The novelty of editing an open encyclopedia has worn off and a far more vast majority now just visit for the questionable facts while only the people with too much time on their hands still edit.

Coincidentally theres even more territoriality than before with people setting up fiefdoms on prime articles and don't you dare flout their authority. Its worst of course on the politically relevant topics. A current favored tactic is to frontload the very beginnings of articles about organizations and people they don't like with negative/inflammatory information. For example compare the current versions of Breitbart News, Conservapedia, One America News Network, and Stephen Miller with Daily Kos, Rational Wiki, and Huffington Post.

The defense if they're called on it is a tortured appeal to 'authoritative consensus' where an editor will go on a fishing expedition for negative quotes from the left of center media bloc like CNN or HuffPo and anything they find on there even blatant opinion is automatically sacrosanct regardless of whether it actually is a consensus among the entire media.

So basically the political articles are even more trash than ever. Again you can draw whatever connection you want to the type of people left editing this mess. I feel sorry for anyone who actually reads and believes it.

Another annoying thing is that they still haven't fixed their scientific articles which for anything beyond the basics tend to be overly jargonish and technical yet uninformative at the same time.

It can only test hosts that it has access to. Otherwise you can download the file and check your serial number against the list.
Yes and no. Antibodies bind against essentially anything on the virus surface, and (depending on the exact type of antibody) do that to multiple virus particles. This is often enough to prevent the membrane from successfully merging with a cell and therefore prevents or seriously reduces the infection rate (you don't have to get infection rate to zero, just low enough). Additionally these antibodies are collected and expelled by other parts of the immune system.

But afaik the immune system does nothing to target active sites. This makes sense: specificity matters. For example disabling HIV is easy: just prevent CD4 binding. That will prevent the virus from attacking any human cell. Unfortunately, it has the same effect as AIDS, over time it cripples the immune system. You want to bind, not to the active sites, but to whatever is on the virus and isn't on anything else.
It's not accurate to call it "Apple's compiler infrastructure" IMO. They're one of several commercial sponsors/contributors.
Most people don't care about politics that much, they vote more or less for a continuation of what's currently going on with an occasional minor course correction one way or another.

I imagine that was the case with that lady, didn't care about politics, wanted things to be more or less the same, votes Conservative and when put on the spot doesn't really have a good explanation as to why.

The most useful thing about democracy is the ability to kick people out, not necessarily choose the best person for the job.

Excerpt:

"My usual go to for C/C++ on Windows is Mingw-w64, which has greatly suited my needs the past couple of years. It’s packaged on Debian, and, when combined with Wine, allows me to fully develop Windows applications on Linux. Being GCC, it’s also great for cross-platform development since it’s essentially the same compiler as the other platforms. The primary difference is the interface to the operating system (POSIX vs. Win32).

However, it has one glaring flaw inherited from MinGW: it links against msvcrt.dll, an ancient version of the Microsoft C runtime library that currently ships with Windows. Besides being dated and quirky, it’s not an official part of Windows and never has been, despite its inclusion with every release since Windows 95. Mingw-w64 doesn’t have a C library of its own, instead patching over some of the flaws of msvcrt.dll and linking against it.

Since so much depends on msvcrt.dll despite its unofficial nature, it’s unlikely Microsoft will ever drop it from future releases of Windows. However, if strict correctness is a concern, we must ask Mingw-w64 not to link against it. An alternative would be PlibC, though the LGPL licensing is unfortunate. Another is Cygwin, which is a very complete POSIX environment, but is heavy and GPL-encumbered.

Sometimes I’d prefer to be more direct: skip the C library altogether and talk directly to the operating system. On Windows that’s the Win32 API. Ultimately I want a tiny, standalone .exe that only links against system DLLs."

The reason why we consider shipping to be a simple and solved problem is that in 1956 McLean had a brilliant idea that to ship efficiently and well everything imaginable would be put into identical containers with no variations.

That's why it is possible to have a container ship with a crew of 5-6 people pilot the load. Containers aren't sort of identical. They are completely identical and completely standard ( several standard sizes ). They have the weight distributed in a specific way and they are stacked on a ship in a specific way depending on the weight of every container.

The startup equivalent of a container ship in simplicity is a startup sorting a pile containing A4 paper, standard business envelopes and hang folders at a daily rate of 500 items.

"Jobs" is never a great argument to defend a technology overtaken by development.

It is an especially bad argument in this context, because not only is coal endangering the whole society, but when we close down coal plants, we continue to need electricity. So the coal plants are replaced, usually these days with renewable sources. And those tend to be more labor-intensive than coal. So "jobs" is actually a good reason to close down coal plants.
What bothers me the most about the CA-Stole-Elections drumbeat is how devoid these kinds of articles are with evidence. They don't qualify which or how many votes were ultimately changed, but it's a well enough hypothesis so writer after writer keeps making bolder and broader claims about CA's influence.

Now how many votes are changed due to the media's overwhelming (90%+) negativity about Brexit and Trump? If CA swayed any votes at all, then our media is actively and aggressively engaging in much worse. To use an analogy, CA might have been a car bomb, but the ongoing bias in the media is a continuous artillery shelling of the public's perception of politics.

According to Wikipedia: “ As of 2008, the five journals that have been cited most frequently by articles published in The BMJ are The BMJ, The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.” So your statement is quite incorrect or you are being sarcastic.
I have purchased Duplo for three friend’s kid’s first birthday and they have been a hit. Recommended age is 18 months, but 6 months to a year out, they get more use out of my gift than the others. Duplo is also compatible with Lego, which means they can be used as filler, etc. as they get older. Now one couple is having their second kid and I need to find a new present!
His accusation is that Hugo Boss are going well beyond reasonable defense of their trademark, by suing businesses in entirely unrelated industries that use either 'Hugo' or 'Boss' in their names or their product names. One example he cited was Boss Brewing, a Welsh brewery who said they spent about £30,000 / 38,200 USD on legal costs and rebranding after being targeted by Hugo Boss. They're also alleged to have sent cease and desists about surfboards, speakers, knives, and treadmills for having 'boss' in the name. It's hard to argue that those weaken the Hugo Boss trademark.

He has a show about consumer rights ("Joe Lycett's Got Your Back", which I suppose will be "Hugo Boss's Got Your Back" next season) so it's in his wheelhouse.

That wouldn't work reliably under Windows, either, as nobody knows anything about files and directories generically anymore.

(That's the reason why first the Windows explorer was suddenly sufficent enough and then almost completely disregarded)

A public folder on the same PC is way harder to explain than just telling your photo app to share it with your resident spying company/cloud provider, despite how wasteful the round trip is.

Not that that has anything to do with a discussion about the "unix way" as a special case or even superset of IDEs.

Read to him. Nothing will help them become successful in STEM or anything else than being able to effortlessly read and comprehend (e.g., tutorials and advanced materials) and effectively communicate their ideas.
A 3yo doesn't need a "stem" toy. They just need access to safe objects, heavy cardboard or plush books with simple colorful pictures, etc.

In short, they just need access to things they can observe and manipulate.

While a parent can to some varying degree influence the attention and interest of the child, there is plenty of doubt as to whether this will result in a better outcome long term or not.

This bug only affects you if you got domain validation (eg by dns-01) but didn't immediately issue a certificate.

Letsencrypt validates the domain ownership for 30 days, so the bug allows you to issue a certificate within that window, even if you added a CAA record after validation that says "don't allow issue by letsencrypt, or only allow issue by MyCA.example.com".

But if you have everything automated, you're checking for renewal and issuing every day and probably validating as part of that, so unlikely to encounter the bug, unless you validate in one step and then sometime 8h+ later, issue a certificate.

I recommend reading Seymour Papert's Mindstorms: https://www.amazon.com/Mindstorms-Children-Computers-Powerfu...

It gives you a powerful framework to think about learning in children (and adults), how they can learn programming, and how they can learn many other STEM and non-STEM topics using programming.

It's interesting what HIBP reveals about both attackers and defenders.

HIBP held a long randomly generated password I used exclusively on tvtropes. It was in plaintext in a pw dump, suggesting they weren't even hashing at the time.

I contacted tvtropes a few times but got ignored with no announcement.

It's not a banking site, not sure what we should expect. But given compelling evidence of a breach and making no announcement to users seems irresponsible.

We Cloned the Coronavirus with AI
As a parent of a soon-to-be three year old, I can relate. I’ve been thinking a lot about this exact issue. I’ve become aware of how horrible I am at staying “present” with him when we’re playing. I’m seriously struggling with the guilt that when I’m playing with him, I’m always thinking about other things (work, personal interests, chores, etc.)

Just a few days ago, I had a bit of a break through though. We went outside and played in the mud, found bugs, climbed a tree, and made a tire swing. If I wasn’t inside, I had a much easier time blocking out all the distractions. It might not be STEM by today’s standards, but I feel like he learned a whole more than a screen could teach him at this age. Honestly, I learned a lot about myself in the 3 hours we spent hanging out and being a kid again.

I don’t want it to seem like this is the first time that I’ve gone out and played with my kids outside or anything. It’s just the first time I’ve gone about it and become aware of all of these feelings.

It’s tough to write or even talk about this because the stigma of today’s society on raising kids in the era of iPads and YouTube. I feel that there’s an expectation that our generation is going to raise our kids with screens glued to their faces. Every piece of me wants to make sure that doesn’t happen to my kids. But I feel awful that I lack the interest when it comes to playing with kids toys.

TLDR: I took him outside and played. Lol.

Pricing in the list can be implemented with a static dictionary in Javascript being served with the HTML on page load. It's not optimal at all ( as well as it returns 429 at the moment, for me ) to call an API to just get back a single price per country.

Another option you may think is a global refresh button which reloads this dictionary. But the lookup should be immediate.

Aside of this, great service. Well done :)

- Play "identify the waterfowl in the park" followed by "chase!" and (for larger geese and swans) "run away!". [This should satisfy the other comment "play sports instead".]

- Then, collect sticks in the woods and build a shelter. Extra points for using different types of structure, or working out which tree the different sticks come from.

- Collect different leaves and paint them. Or paint rocks.

- (In a year or two, you can get a plant press / heavy books and dry flowers and leaves between old newspaper.)

- Grow seedlings. Grow cress and eat it, or tomatoes, or just flowers.

- Search for fossils, bones, seeds (acorns, conkers, pine cones etc)

- Make a paper or balsawood boat, and float it on a pond

- Look for sea creatures in a rock pool

- Make an insect haven, then look at / identify the insects

When I was 3-4, I had a table placemat called something like "At The Seaside"[2], with typical creatures found on the British coast. My sister had "In the Garden".

Michael Hertz – You’ve Surely Seen His Subway Map – Dies at 87
Emailing users and giving them only 24 hours before their certs are revoked seems very unreasonable. Say you are down and out with a stomach bug or on holiday for a day or two.

My understanding is that the 90 day lifetime is largely because revocation can be thwarted. Thus the practical difference between 24 hours and one week is meaningful for server admins, but inconsequential if someone is staging an attack.
