I think the iOS player will stream only audio if the app is backgrounded; it seems to restart the stream to get video back if the app is brought to front again.

As others have said, if the "video" is a static image, the bandwidth usage should be negligible in practice. But I've seen lots of promotional album streams that intentionally add busy graphics, motion lyrics, etc; while they're sometimes cool, they're wastes of bandwidth and processing if I just want it play audio in a background tab.
Nice to see an alternative or rather a complementary library to the well worn nltk.

Hopefully Stanza provides for supplemental training for their models.
This doesn't work because not every one has stopped working.

The best solution would be for the government to pay the bottom and have the payments "trickle up".
> This falls under the same category. Without child care or some place for the children to go, it's absolutely impossible to work from home.

Without child care or some place for the children to go, it's absolutely impossible to work from the office either, so I'm not sure what this means.
Yeah, I’ve noticed this to a degree, if it’s because people are scared to go to hospital and catch it, which is a reasonable risk. Hospital caught COVID infections are confirmed and hospital acquired infections in general are pretty common.
Airbnb needs to balance the pain between all three parties: host, guests, and Airbnb. Right now it is passing down all the pain to the hosts as Airbnb probably feels that there are more guests than hosts and the bad publicity from screwing hosts is less than screwing guests.

It will be interesting to see if Airbnb has the clout to force such policies down hosts' throat. Hosts will be upset but if Airbnb is their best way to monetize their property, they will be back on the platform.

Hosts should add a premium to their nightly rates to cover risk of such policies from Airbnb. But I doubt they will be able to do so in the near future as demand for travel goes down.
That money didn't just appear in his account. He has it simply because he can look ahead given the current situation. I'm glad he's giving his opinion. We should take it seriously.

The unplanned for surge has been in videoconferencing (for work and for school), and while yes they adapt in theory to lower bandwidth, they're terribly affected particularly by the higher latency that tends to come with it.

The problem isn't that your videoconferencing goes from 1080p to 360p -- it's that it stutters and stops working for seconds at a time, so students completely miss content, and introduces a lag that makes it impossible to have conversations because people are always talking over each other.

While YouTube buffers ahead, so playback tends to be smooth regardless.

And clearly this has nothing to do with net neutrality, which is about ISP's throttling types of content. This is the content provider itself. And they're giving you the option to manually go back to hi-def.

So I hardly see what there is to complain about. YouTube is just trying to make sure kids are more likely to have usable online classes.
Hey,

stupid question, but why NA-only? I'm based in Europe, and I love what Khan Academy does. I have checked your career site in the past, but NA-only means I don't even apply. It's such a shame for Khan Academy.
Back when I was using OSX and Little Snitch, first user experience was horrible. I reinstalled OSX and installed Little Snitch first, and went to install app by app after running it, and got a slightly better experience. But, requires a reinstall of your OS (or maybe creating a new user will be enough)
The government should punish itself. Issue more debt and backstop unemployment. Otherwise, it will just propagate.
Hey, LOVE to see it! Screenhero was an amazing tool, and I absolutely loved using it for pair programming and desktop support.

I waited with bated breath for the features to show up in Slack, and when they did I was basically satisfied until they shut it down, where I was crushed again.

Here's hoping the lawyers don't beat you up!

Guess what color I'd paint a bike shed? Any color at all if it worked!

Most famous diseases are names thus

Maybe there is a change in behavior with the name, but I suspect those people are taking advantage of the situation to express what they’ve always wanted to.
They changed the way versioning is done around 3.9's release.

I feel they are changing the version too quickly (I usually keep an eye out for the major version bumps, and with LLVM I just ignore them now)
It's interesting to compare and contrast community reactions to apple vs google policies, as well as how the companies interface with popular software.

Google changes extension model for Chrome, breaking ad blockers, reaction seems to be that it's an obvious power grab.

Apple changes extension model, breaking network blocker, reaction seems to be favorable.
There are uncountably many Cauchy sequences of useful reals. You can’t write them all down. So now you have to also restrict yourself to “useful Cauchy sequences of useful reals”.

This is a rabbit hole with no end.
Thanks for the reply, and good luck! I'm particularly excited about trying it out since you've already implemented cross-platform support.
Holding the door open comes at a much lower opportunity cost than the hours of volunteering which could be spent nourishing oneself in a callous world. Outside of full Communism, these selfless acts of Volunteerism are not survivable for most of the working class.

That is a good question, and thanks for asking it with a lot less toxic sarcasm then I would have.

The “Feynman Technique” for Studying Effectively: An Animated Primer
Yes, but they were prepared for it and took it seriously from the start.
That's fair.

I just didn't really see where you were coming as a reply to the original comment, where you'd written "prior outbreaks ... only variable" and the parent comment was talking about "civil society (and) social capital".
Exactly.

In the event that the entire concept of kernel extensions is removed (which seems unlikely), Hackintosh developers could just recompile the kernel. Or have the bootloader patch the kernel binary. (Fun fact: Clover already allows any user to do Find ==> Replace on aribitrary strings or hex sequences in the kernel.)

You can do this stuff on a real Mac too btw, as long as SIP is off.

Now, if Apple actually put a concerted effort into screwing Hackintosh users, they could probably kill the scene relatively easily. But, they don't seem interested in doing that. Their attitude since the initial Intel release of Tiger has seemingly been indifference.
Bing is a bit more clear, https://www.bing.com/maps?q=ryan+island&form=QBLH&sp=-1&pq=r...

It might be possible that the 'n' shapped formation on the north east part of the island could flood enough in spring to form a short lived 'pond'.
The points on the fluff in particular resonate with me because idespite being a fairly good software engineer, I would say it was only recently I truly started seeing past the fluff.

However, typing this out, I realise I would have said the same thing 10 years ago, and 5 years ago, and I probably will again another 5 years from now.

I think the truth is that we're always missing the forest for all the trees -- only at increasing levels of abstraction: at first, everything is foreign, then syntax becomes fluff, then APIs become fluff, then patterns, then languages, then compilers, then ... I look forward to learning what the next level of fluff will be.

> The majority of the stuff being released every day is just a rehash of the same ideas. Truly revolutionary stuff only happens every few years.

Maybe not even that often. I can recommend Old Is the New New by Kevlin Henney for a good, historical perspective on how little actually changes sometimes: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AbgsfeGvg3E

Edit: now this was more interesting than I anticipated. What is the next level of fluff? Concurrency? Advanced data structures? Phrasing problems for SMT solvers? Probabilistic modeling?

Or are the things I picture as fluff just specific techniques, because the next level of fluff is so meta I wouldn't even recognise it now?
Those are (as far as I’m aware) current infections. The test for viral RNA will only be positive with an acute infection, and not otherwise. Therefore previously infected and recovered cases will not show up.
SF Chronicle: United in Isolation
Yes they will, my apartment's leasing office is open all day Saturday and half day Sunday. They have their bases covered. They know what they are doing, the company owns multiple buildings and hundreds of apartments. They have written contracts for every single teeny tiny thing.

I find it amusing that I am getting downvoted. Everything I said here is true. In places like NYC, it is not easy to get a half decent apartment without paying through the nose. I've heard it is worse in SF, but I haven't lived there, so can't comment.

Maybe people here own more than one home that they rent and get pissed at anything negative that is said about landlords. But the thing is, I've rented most of my life and despite being an ideal tenant (always pay rent on time, no parties/pets/noise ... and so on), all I have experienced is a serious headache while looking for apartments. All the downvotes isn't going to change that.
That's more applicable to large classes at the college level.

College seminars, as well as all of grade school, are conducted live. High school doesn't have "lectures" the way college does, or middle school or elementary school.
Can you build clang with clang yet on Windows without Visual Studio installed?
I wonder if the case tracing for this virus will be used to promote a policy of "we need to know where everyone is, just in case". I can see someone putting that out and saying the information will only be used in this type of emergency.
It's really concerning here that so many comments basically amount to let's ban all landlords. It's really dumb, people clearly have not thought it through.
This whole line of analysis has confused me. The CDC tests, while flawed, were never very numerous, right? Is the contention that if these early tests had worked, they actually would have been sufficient to protect the entire nation?

It's seemed to me the problem has more been that we haven't stockpiled supplies over the past few years like South Korea did.
There's definitely a selection bias in this forum. It's an echo chamber of petit bourgeois–myself included.
It says only that this may be what they are doing, not that it is for sure... a little late they speculate other alternative as well: _Roger says animals can actually use an oxygen-free process to produce energy from sugar, but it's far less efficient. He suspects this may be what Henneguya is doing_
...and initially those videos have to be seeded by central servers.

CDNs are caches. I am sure it gets much more complex with systems at Youtube scale, but they don't keep all files at all edges. Furthermore, they know what the fuck they are doing, and if ISPs and governments are going "shit, our bandwidth is nuts, hey Youtube/Netflix can you cool it a little?" then maybe there is something to it.

Why and how is everyone an armchair NOC operator/epidemiologist/supply chain manager? How is it so hard to believe that when you get past certain politicians/bureaucracies, there are smart people working to figure out these hard problems that likely know a little bit more than we do?
We shouldn't ever trade security for performance. Doing that is how Microsoft ended up putting shit like font rendering into the kernel. Made Windows very fast, but made it so much worse when a bug was found.
It's hard to take this seriously. C'mon - the author suggests LaTeX and roff as better alternatives. LaTeX is equivalent to bringing a squadron of Apache helicopters when all you needed was a pistol. Sure - the Apache helicopters have more firepower but WOW! - what overkill!

That's how I look at Markdown. It's shorthand for HTML and as such is useful for short documents or notes. I use Markdown to record meeting minutes. Short, sweet and I can easily render it in any format I need for managers.
Asterix comics (the best ones, with Goscinny) are parodies about the French society in the 60s and 70s and France's stereotypical view of its European neighbors, so it's not hard to think that a lot of it is lost in translation.
Supreme Court rules states are immune from copyright law
There are a few bits of Asterix that are pretty problematic, too, for example the depiction of the African pirate. YMMV, but for me it's a small enough piece that it's worthwhile just talking it over with my kids (vs something like Dr. Seuss's "If I Ran The Zoo", which probably belongs in the dustbin of history, along with Song of the South and everything else that really isn't worth it at this point).

The article is dumb. If the statement "Landlords don’t employ anyone; their benefit to society is frankly pretty marginal" was true, why did the author willingly sign his rent or lease contract (which binds him to pay a large regular payments for a long period)... Why would he do it if there is no benefit!?
Love the age + free filters. First I'd heard of Swift Playgrounds! I wonder how they decided which ones to include. Also, first time I've seen learning resources broken down by apps, games, videos, etc. To be honest, it makes a lot of sense.
The same is happening with Firefox. Many "infrastructure" software projects have switched to time-based releases. Say, a release every 6 months.

So there is no notion of big or small releases. Hence the seemingly fast increase of version numbers.
One legitimate use case is perhaps that in the olden days before in-app purchases, you could install an empty paid app that would than act as a token that would enable some functionality in another app. The second app would need some way of checking the presence of the first app.
Yes of course if you're running a business then you're getting users logged in ASAP. There are other models of software development, however. Even if you're in the commercial sector, some users may be less eager than others to sign up for your fine service. Should you preemptively suck in their data, whoops I mean back up their data, without telling them? It seems there could be several responses to that question...

It's fine that Apple don't want to support this valid mode of app distribution and use. It is a valid mode, however.
> The conclusion we came to was that the only solution to phishing was education, and education was also nearly impossible to get 100% coverage.

A friend works for a company that fires employees after failing three phishing tests.

It doesn’t solve the problem for those people, but it does work for that company. What has priority depends on your management style :)
Agree. Bankrupt everyone who takes a risk. That will teach them all a lesson.
Europe produced huge amounts of Disney universe comics, which apparently there was not enough market for in USA. This happened in 12+ countries but oddly not UK.

There are 500+ (!) books in the series that have been coming out since 1950s, in A5 pocket format and with 250 comic pages. Most have been written in Italy the translated.

They are so European that I cannot even find an English wikipedia page for them but here's something in Danish: https://comicwiki.dk/wiki/Jumbobog

The contention in the article is that there were multiple, compounding layers of fuck-ups.

I usually don't mention products I haven't completed yet, but considering this case in which we are all quarantined and getting more time to work on our projects, it has been a great excuse to work on it, and so, I'll tell you about it.

The concept behind it is: I've seen demo websites where people show off different things about their website or plugins or things they have made to potential customers or clients. They have their visitors go in and "try before you buy". Those visitors might make changes to the site and you have to go in and undo their changes. Or maybe manually run a restore feature or cron job to do it. Didn't find anything in the mainstream that does it. The web app + wordpress plugin will automatically do all of this for you so you don't have to worry about having to do it manually.

I'm almost finished with the WordPress plugin. The sign up feature works so you can at least create yourself an account. Can't do much more than that though, but for anyone interested, feel free to sign up and stay up to date on the latest progress. I do hope to be done with it by mid-April.
Beautiful and terrible poem.

Not even Nazi Germany or Stalin wanted to recreate those battlefields, even at Stalingrad and when the Nazis were on the run from the Russians. Whoever reintroduces these weapons is stepping in front of some real monsters in the history books
The Changelog 387: Prepare Yourself for Quantum Computing
For this API precisely, I have to admit I have a pretty hard time to tell.

However, there are other APIs that leak the list of installed applications that have pretty legitimate usages.

For instance the intent resolving API:

- This can be used for an app to know which applications the user can share messages to. I believe that nowadays developers are supposed to use a generic API for that, that don't expose the list of applications to the user, but that's a pretty new API.

- This can be used by application Launchers, or apps that provide shortcuts or automated launch of other apps
iOS had a similar leak that was exploited by apps like Twitter.

https://www.techspot.com/news/58991-twitter-track-list-apps-...

It used the “canOprnUrl” method if I recall correctly.

Apple locked this down less than a year later in iOS 10 where an app has to explicitly list which urls can be tested this way and there is a hard limit. Of course this goes through app review.
I was shocked that our public schools do business with a company that does something similar, which is also illegal:

Kids draw a picture in art class, and come home a week later with a magnet that has been printed with their drawing. They also have an invoice saying you can order these other things (mugs, shirts, etc), and we've included a sample magnet so you can see what the printing looks like.

But the magnet isn't free — if you want to keep it, you're supposed to pay 6 bucks, or you can return it to the basket where the order slips go.

Now of course no kid wants their artwork to be sent back and destroyed, so they want you to keep it. And since that forces you to fill out the order form, perhaps you'll order something else while you're at it.

Of course, the prices are terrible compared to vistaprint/costco/etc. And since you have the original art (that your kid made), if you want to have a shirt printed up, you can do so for half the price elsewhere.

This practice is totally illegal (where I am, in California). You can't send someone a thing and then charge them if they don't send it back. I was surprised and disappointed that our public school would partner with a company that literally breaks the law, to the detriment of students and their families.
Sounds interesting and I'd like to apply. Just for clarification, what do you mean by "remote available"?
Just FYI (If I'm reading you correctly): That's not how react native works. It's a native app, not a wrapped website.
The evolution of the wave function which determines the probability distribution sampled by observations is deterministic and reversible in all of the quantum theories I have personally studied (which is not many).

Interestingly, I found hedonism as a SOLUTION for my existential dread. Of course I don't call it hedonism, but here is the path I followed. These are statements of fact to me, but of course they are highly debatable. Fork wherever your own experience does not match.

1) There is no God, as in a conscious being who created the universe for a purpose that is yet to be revealed to us

1B) The universe itself is uncaring, and it's current state is just the resolution of a very complex set of causes and effects. It's on a path, but there is no destination or goal.

2) There is no afterlife. Existence is consciousness, and when consciousness nds, there is nothing else.

3) Consciousness may or may not be special but it is irrelevant because we EXPERIENCE it as special.

4) Experiences and feelings are real, complex, evolving, and almost limitless in the range that you can experience over the course of a finite lifetime

5) Positive/unique experiences are inherently good to have. And good to provide to others.

6) Therefore, the only thing we can do is try to maximize the amount of positive feelings/experiences we each have, and maximize the amount we generate in others.

7) The exact balance between focusing on yourself vs generating in others, and the relative worth of being a force multiplier (e.g. sacrificing your own happiness for someone else, or multiple others), is an exercise left to the reader. So long as your actions contribute to a NET good for the world, it's probably okay.

8) What I don't like about the term hedonism is it makes it seem like I want to just sit around eating grapes and having sex. In a more macro sense, technology that helps humanity be more effective and have more leisure, a more egalitarian society, a multi-planetary civilization that is safe from extinction from a wild cosmic event are all things that I believe are of value to contribute to the overall increase of one's happiness/experiences, and to all of civilization. So my philosophy, whatever it is called, is completely compatible with humanity's progress
Interesting. Is it misinformation if presented with the explicit disclaimer that I'm not sure about it and people should research themselves? I always understood misinformation as purposefully wrong and malicious information.

Worst case scenario (of people acting on my previous comment), people believe they can be reinfected and would practice further physical distancing. That does not seem malicious, but hey, I might be wrong.
Maybe this is intentional, but this is a bad headline considering it is using a less popular definition of business and there is an ongoing discussion of how involved the government should be in controlling and supporting businesses due to COVID-19 and the resulting economic downturn. Half the comments here are about that that alternative meaning instead of the topic in the actual article.
Sometimes it does make sense to trade security for performance.
