Don't take this the wrong way (I'm trying to help, might fail but intentions are good) but it seems to me that the real reason you are having a hard time finding a "job" is because you have a history of leaving jobs after a short tenure.

I wrote "job" because working as a salaried employee is not the only way to make a living, or have a successful career. Consider that the freelance/contractor career you're currently having is 1) a career and 2) might be a better fit for you. Furthermore, some contractors I know make a lot more money than most of my salaried friends. The tradeoff being, of course, that you have no guarantees wrt to steadiness of your income (protip: salaried jobs come with no guarantees either, you could be out the next day, any day) and sometimes you have to chase down projects and deal with bad customers.

Sorry if something came out wrong, English isn't my first language.

I don't think that's really a useful comment, no doubt just like every country there are brainless people and smart people. For example, the ruling family has been very good at staying in power for years and years, MBS basically managed to trick the western media into thinking he was a progressive, and they've been able to be one of America's strongest allies despite funding extremist schools around the world, not things totally brainless people could pull off

I think it would be good for them to indicate the relative penetration of their device into the region. For example, in Ohio the 88 confirmed cases are in counties that don't correlate well with the data presented. Most of the cases are in the northeast of the state.

List of counties with confirmed infections - https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/ (right under the number of cases)

The child poverty map correlates a bit better with the data from healthweather.us (esp if you factor in the population (density) of each county). The south and east counties in Ohio are pretty sparsely populated.
This has been circulating for a few days now. It's bogus.

There is absolutely 0 peer reviewed papers or double blind controlled studies that prove this.
With this you're saying, in effect, that the virus then has a much lower mortality rate than currently indicated by most of the CFR numbers in the more heavily affected countries? Not necessarily doubting your claim, it has plausibility at this point, i'm just curious. And if it is the case, then places like Italy must have an enormous number of undocumented cases to justify their current death counts.

Moral and purely subjective beliefs aside, unless we're talking about a wave function collapse, observing (proving?) a belief does not change the truth value of the underlying point of discussion. So implicitly... it is what it is whether you confirm it to be true or not. Broken clock telling the right time twice a day and all that.

Take "the Earth is round" belief. The Earth was round since before humans existed. Having or not having evidence to support this belief did not and does not alter the shape in any way. The Earth is still round. So this belief was always true (even if unbeknownst to anyone) regardless of who held it and whether they had any evidence to support it.

If you can demonstrate the possibility of proving any truth, you just proved it, you are done.

If you can demonstrate the impossibility of proving any truth, then you just demonstrated that you can prove some truth, thus it is false that it is impossible to prove any truth.

Finally, if you can neither disprove nor prove the impossibility of proving any truth, you just don't know whether it's possible or not; in which case the honest posture is agnosticism. Oh, and if you admit that an honest posture is desirable when pursuing truth, you just bootstrapped a ground that allows to growth (relative and sound) truth allied to virtue.

That might not be as satisfying as "acquiring some absolute truth", but personally I feel that for my humble human capacities and needs, that's not too bad.

Sure!

I use CMake for all my projects, and passing "-D CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON" generates the compile_commands.json for clangd. I create a symlink to it in the main project folder so clangd can find it.

Clangd embeds clang-format and clang-tidy, so given appropriate configuration files formatting in VSCode just works with no extra extensions but vscode-clangd.

For debugging, I use CodeLLDB. Haven't had any problems with it so far, everything seems to work fine. Debug console works etc.
Italy reported today that 99% of the COVID-19 deaths in Italy had a preexisting condition.

If you're healthy you (probably) don't have anything to worry about, but if you're diabetic, smoking, have hypertension or other normally manageable conditions, you're (maybe) at risk.

And to all the healthy people who seems to think they're immune. You probably won't die from it, but someone in your close family may very well die because you didn't take it seriously.
I am a little rusty on my probability basics now but I was trying to remember how one would go about answering the following question regarding Wuhan numbers cited in this study:

"Given a person has type A blood type, what is the probability of that person having covid19"

I remember this being something like P(E1 intersection E2)/P(E2) where E2 = event that a person has type A blood and E1 = event that the person has covid19.

In case of Wuhan 32.16% of the population has type A blood. So E2=0.3216. To get E1 we would need total infections/total population for the city. We don't have that number but is this thinking correct?

Luckily Gopher is still alive, and in fact on the Gopher mailing list there was a thread earlier this week about `gopher://` over TLS [1]; in fact you can still use `gopher://` either natively (by using `lynx` or a number of Firefox plugins), or through a HTTP gateway like [2] [3]. (There are countless servers and clients out there.)

Also there is a newly developed Gopher alternative called Gemini [4] that uses TLS by default, and supports natively as an alternative to HTML a Markdown-based simplified format. (Given that Gemini and Gopher are much alike, most of the content is also available over `gopher://`, and via an HTTP gateway it can be accessed from a plain browser, like for example [5].)

[4] https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

[5] https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw?gopher://zaibatsu.circ...

----

However if Gopher or Gemini is "just too much", one could be active in pushing web publishers (and thus browser providers) into simplifying their web presence by: disabling JavaScript and thus background fetches and workers, cookies, fonts (thus including "icon fonts"), etc., forcing HTTPS and caching, disabling anything except `GET` methods.

I've tried some of these myself, and unfortunately the experience is one of two extremes:

* either everything just works, and it works flawlessly, the page loads instantly, no pesky cookie consent popups, no adds, and it's just a pleasure to browse that site; (most "small" blogs fall into this category;)

* either nothing works, and most of the times I get a "blank" page or just a paragraph "JavaScript is required to run this application"; (how hard is it to provide a basic HTML?) (and unfortunately even documentation sites fall in this category, like for example Go-lang's own documentation site...) (most of the times I just close that site, or if I really want to access it, I open it in a "normal" Firefox / Chrome profile;)

So, like with any civic right, everything is gained through participation: if we want a simpler web, we need to actively start consuming a simpler web. :)
Fair enough, but it is helpful for someone to bring up the point about it being closed.
I hear you. I will take a break from commenting.

Honestly I find your comment sobering. It reminds me I’ve been diligently and carefully contributing to a site for 8 years, and my efforts could be erased by a moderator in an eye blink because of a couple of frustrated comments.

I think it has not been a great use of my time.
I think Mathematica is HUGE. Axiom/FriCAS does not have every thing that Mathematica have(specially statistics).

Overall it is not that polished UI wise. I think it is pretty good for algebra and symbolic computation.

Let me quote from the book/guide of FriCas:

"
FriCAS provides state-of-the-art algebraic machinery to handle your most advanced symbolic problems.
For example, FriCAS’s integrator gives you the answer when an answer exists. If one does not, it
provides a proof that there is no answer. Integration is just one of a multitude of symbolic operations
that FriCAS provides.
"

> If beliefs have no way to be verified, what does it mean to say one still may be true.

It may not be able to be verified, but it can often be falsified. Suppose I believe that all bridges are safe for me because there is a swarm of fairies following me around holding up the bridges. And suppose you believe that no bridges are safe between the hours of 2 and 3 am, because the gods have so decreed. And suppose we both come to a bridge at 2am.

If I walk over the bridge and it collapses, it falsifies my belief that fairies will always hold up bridges for me, but it doesn't prove your belief that the gods have promised universal collapse for bridge-walking at 2am. On the other hand, if I walk over the bridge and it doesn't collapse, it falsifies your belief that the gods have promised universal collapse for bridge-walking at 2am, but does not prove my belief that fairies will always hold up bridges for me.

"All models are wrong, but some models are useful."
Strange posting a hardware project in a mostly software forum but @ YC, there's a long history of "listen to your users" and so there's a short anecdotal story behind this project I figured the community would enjoy.

The inspiration behind this IoT dev kit was a personal annoyance of needing to wire the same basic components for each prototyping project. (Almost every IoT project will need Wi-Fi, maybe Bluetooth, audio for notifications, LEDs for notifications, SD cards for data logging, etc.) Before designing the board, I was able to find 173 ideal buyers in the maker community and created a voting process where they could nominate components/functionality they'd like incorporated on the boards and (much like HN/Reddit) +1/-1 the ideas.

Through their feedback I was able to affirm some of the ideas I already had, but also challenge myself to apply my ideas outside of the scope I had originally envisioned. It was through the voting system where functionality around addressable LEDs (controlling many lights with a single pin), removable jumper pins (being able to re-use the pin of the maker didn't have a need for one of the built-in components), and selectable VIN (toggling between USB and battery power) all came to fruition.

Despite the difference in physical products and software, I think the notion of "listen to your users and seek feedback" holds true.

Anyone interested in getting into the hobby and would like something a bit different, then you may want to give Infinity a look. I often describe it as X-Com meets 40K. Infinity is similar to 40K in the sense that it’s in the future and sci-fi with aliens, but a few key differences:

* Rules are free and available on the official website for download.

* Gameplay is much more dynamic with the non active player getting to react to moves made by the active player during their turn. (Much less waiting/doing nothing)

* More near future with current nations represented at places

* Fewer religious overtones

* Bladerunner/Manga aesthetics

* Smaller company, but much more community driven

* Played with fewer figures. A typical full length game will have between 10-20 minis per side.

* Well organised digital competitive play tracking with online leaderboards and tournament organising tools. (This makes tournament matchups much more fair as newbies will be matched against other newbies right away etc)

* Rules are quite a bit more complex than that of 40K. Great for people who like that, but certainly a bit of a learning curve for newbies. (Code One mitigates this, see below)

There’s also a new version coming out called Code One that was just announced for pre-orders and is shipping next month. Seems like a good starting point as it’s a slightly simplified and quicker version that can serve as a jumping off point to the full game.

This seems unworkable because it ignores the role instincts have in living things, which are prior beliefs about the world put immediately into action.

For example, an infant has an instinct to breathe right after birth. Is that a belief or an action? It’s both—a strategy to survive in the world encoded in genes attached to an implicit belief. An infant that tries to breathe two minutes later would suffer hypoxia and brain damage, while one that tries sooner will choke.

There is no pure tabula rasa untainted by priors, as soon as you acknowledge minds are embedded in bodies shaped by millions of years of evolution and steeped in survival tactics, and what are tactics except a set of useful priors about good actions?

I never really got into the miniature / battle side of Warhammer. It just doesn't appeal to me for some reason. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, on the other hand, I greatly enjoyed. It's a fantastic world in which to create stories and it's also a heck of a lot cheaper. The mechanics are bit clunky compared to modern roleplaying systems, but it is easy to adapt modern systems to the setting if you so desire.

The battle game must be a much better product from the business point of view, due to the need to buy a lot more stuff to participate, and I imagine that is why it has continued whilst WFRP has mostly been sidelined.

Update: I see a new edition of WFRP has been published in the last few years. I played the first edition. I don't know what the other editions are like.
Sure, though I believe that during those 2 years the US was also trying to decide which part they should enter the war on. There were influential Nazi supporters in the US, and Russian 'communism' was probably seen as a bigger ideological problem than antisemitism to many.
