I am quite happy with Felder Iso-Core "Clear" for SMD work, but admittedly I also had a lot of bad lead free solder. I think the differences in lead-free solders are bigger than in leaded stuff. Trying to stay open and experimenting with new things once in a while makes sense there.

Also: lead free in my experience needs a little more heat and is more sensitive to temperature dips from the tip when soldering. So if you have a cheap and weak iron or a good one with the temperature sensing in the heating element (and not in the tip), your lead-free experience might be worse than it should have to be.

Lead-free also needs better cleaning – but that is something one should usually do painstakingly anyways.
I've been looking for a threadmill for a while to put under my standing desk but yeah I'm afraid they'll be too loud...

I am no expert, but I can imagine they wouldn't be too much more expensive to produce; after all the mass production of glass (or plastic) bottles is a solved problem. In fact, square bottles might be cheaper because you can stuff more of them in a box, less wasted space.

What? I always book AirBnB. For personal travel and business travel. It is always cheaper - like 100% of the time. And I get an entire apartment instead of a scrappy small hotel room.
It surely is not something for everybody.

I'm almost 2m tall so always had back and chair problems so I took the opportunity to switch my desk to a standing one for 4 months with a college who went on a project abroad. It was hell from the first to the last day. Not only was standing problematic, it distracted me so much I got angry and used every opportunity to get away from it and to sit and talk to other colleges in their offices (been told about it at some point because I didn't even realise it).

I'd say if you're not OK with it after 4 months, you probably won't be after 4 years.

I joined a swimming club again. It helped.
> The problem with auto-generated voices in videos like this is as a viewer I can't distinguish between work that someone put deliberate production time into, and something churned out by a content farm.

There's a big difference between good content that is automated into a video, and spam. The key use case for this was helping me focus more on the content, rather than on fiddling with synchronisation and resizing assets. I'm not a native English speaker, and although I speak at quite a few conferences per year, listening to my broken English accent (which sounds like a Bond villain) in a video is quite distracting, even for me. Even with my best efforts to record my own voice professionally, generated voice sounds a lot better than what I can do.
> I just think it's silly to try to pretend to be more expressive than scripting languages.

So far we have a Python, a Rust and a C++ program in this thread which output the same thing given the same input, which, by the definition of expressive power of programming languages means that they are exactly as expressive as each other (given this information only and notwithstanding small differences such as error handling in this case).

Also you mentioned in your original thread :

> Even if the syntaxes were exactly the same (which they are not, python syntax is on average shorter)

indeed

> the low level nature of C++ requires your code to do operations that Python does need to do, such as memory management.

Notice that there is nothing which looks like memory management in my code. There are entire classes of programs that can be written without thinking about when to allocate or free your memory at all - just declare your variables on the stack and with std types, and that is handled for you (and that's not a modern C++ thing ! it's been like that since the very beginning). Opting in to memory management is an active, conscious effort in these cases (or a residue of people who only were taught java / c# at school and sprinkle their code with `new`).
You're missing the point.

It is, because assuming that having the virus gives some immunity, then if we find out that 90% of people are asymptomatic, that implies that the number of cases we have right now won't go up much more (since many people have already had and recovered from Coronavirus).
Ikea järvfjället is a decent option.
Just went pretty deep in researching these...

If you're not budget conscious, look at the Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap V2, Steelcase Gesture, or Humanscale Freedom. Budget, seems to be a serious crapshoot. Lots of people like the top end Ikea chairs and those will cost 1/4 as much, but depends on if they fit your body and if you're ok with rigid arms.

Steelcase Leap V2 seems like the winner to me. Most adjustable, with a soft seat (Aeron has hard edged bottom mesh... and looks like an insect). Humanscale Freedom with headrest looks best IMO but not as comfortable and couldn't find good remanufactured ones.

Lots of refurbished/second hand options.

I ended up going with a remanufactured (starts with refurbished, gets cleaned up nicely, reupholstered and rebuilt). Half price for a chair that I hope feels like new.

BTOD (https://www.btod.com/) and Crandall (https://www.crandalloffice.com/) look like they sell the same product (and Crandall is the "factory" for both). If you go this route, see what price works better for you after promo codes and tax are factored in.

I went with this BTOD Leap V2: https://www.btod.com/steelcase-leap-v2. Ordered yesterday. Fingers crossed that it feels like new.

I can't believe a great $300 or $400 (new) chair that's fully adjustable doesn't exist.
Haha serotonin printer go brrr
Or maybe the government just cares for its residents. Getting stuck in a room for 2 weeks is not easy. Govt is just trying to make it more tolerable.
It's not banned, it's restricted. There are still applications where it's allowed in manufacture, even in the EU.

Prototyping/R&D is excepted as well.
> contradicts official WHO guidance

A few weeks ago official WHO guidance included:

- that there was "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission" of the virus

- that international air travel should not be suspended "because of the social disruption they cause and the intensive use of resources required" (nothing about the efficacy of such a move).

Well look at us now. Maybe, just maybe, their guidance on this topic is also flawed.

The lack of critical thinking on the issue of masks is astonishing. There are study after study[0] showing that masks mitigate the transfer of virus particles. Then there's common sense which points in the same direction.

So 90% of the time I hear these horror stories it's a test/dev account where deleting everything is preferable to getting a bill.

I also don't understand why everyone is assuming

"if I hit threshold X do A, if I hit threshold Y do B" where A and B are some combination of shutting down and deleting resources,

is as difficult as solving NP complete.
The graph shows first 4 weeks only. That means the early stage of infection in China when the virus basically spread unhindered; if you extend the curve to after emergency was declared nationally then you would absolutely see the effect of masks.

Edit: First 4 weeks after the 100th case actually. But the numbers are clearly delayed and reflect transmission that happened much earlier, and you can already see the curve leveling off in the graph.
The best was IRC and mumble. It's been downhill since then.
I would strongly suggest you to try it out. My experience after using it for 8 weeks was basically:

- First week: Oh, interesting chair

- Week 2-4: I can’t really find a comfortable position, constantly fidgeting with table height and chair settings

- Week 4-8: Mild pain in back, rather stand than use the chair

Then I moved office to a super normal supportive chair, which was a relief and all pain disappeared immediately.

I think of it almost like barefoot running/standing desk, you’ll have to gradually get used to it and especially if you have a weak core (I’m guessing), it might provide to little support for you for quite a while.
I have the "Remastered" version of the Aeron chair, and I love it. I've been using it for several years and it still feels like new.

It is mesh-based, although not super minimalist.

Why would it be jumping the gun? They can, so they will. It's been like this with every US company that has been looked at in this way.
There are often times liquidators that will have mass stock of common office chairs. Especially with the state of the current economy, I wouldn't be surprised if there will be more chairs hitting the liquidators soon. You may have to get creative with contacting these companies (they tend to be B2B) but if you're motivated you can likely save yourself quite a few dollars by going this route. :)
You seriously think a bedsheet will stop the coronavirus, which is about 100nm wide?
Are you medically trained in the use of a ventilator? If not, I don't see how you could make that judgment either.
I'm afraid these measures will keep getting extended and extended. In the end they will get used to that and say things like "it worked really well for us, we need to have this all the time".

Mostly on deployment (after the process has actually started), but sometimes after (on start).

Since we use Azure a lot through the API, there is a difference in the first case. Usually it would fail on the first API call, it would just tell you this or that went wrong. Now the process fails after it has been started.

I have two of these for work and home and love them. However I find it best to spend about half my time on this and half on a normal office chair otherwise my back gets tired. Also, the Varier isn't height adjustable and my home desk is a touch too high for it which is annoying.
Notes from Ground Two, March 28th
The grandparent was talking about taking the risk seriously - you can say that about Taiwan no matter its climate.

My gut feeling is that the culture of wearing masks, not shaking hands etc. is just as important of a factor as the climate. I guess we'll find out by observing cooler Japan.
The price though..

I did this for my first few weeks in construction, need a gallon or more so I end up with a $1 gallon in plastic every day, and recycling earns money for the agency I work through. I will look into a glass gallon when I get a place with a sink. With 1L glass I’d recycle them about weekly and get a fresh bubbly water and keep the bottle for another week.
But you’re not describing an irrational actor. If the entire global economy collapsed (which is not an irrational fear to have), then having several months supply of non-perishable food, cleaning and hygiene supplies would be very valuable thing. What makes that either rational or irrational is the expense you went to purchase them. If prices are not allowed to rise to equilibrium, then that expense is going to be very minimal.

As I’ve said several times. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ration certain staples, and essential services. Everything else should just be priced to supply and demand. It’s not reasonable to call something price gouging if there are actually shortages.
1. Consult a specialist.

2. Frequently switch up your devices and how you use them - mouse in non-dominant hand, working standing vs sitting if possible, whenever you can use a touchscreen for the sake of variety, get a pen tablet to use instead of a mouse.

3. Look up wrist stretches for RSI and develop the habit of taking breaks and doing these stretches routinely.

4. Look up correct wrist positions for using a mouse and keyboard and make sure that you aren't completely wrecking your wrists when you have to use them.

5. Consult a specialist.

Because you already have to learn a bunch of new stuff, since Markdown does not support this use case.

You could easily borrow some common things from Markdown to make things easier, but this seems to try to force following the Markdown syntax as much as possible, even when that syntax makes no sense in context.

It is much better to invent new things for the cases that are completely new, than try to force a square peg into a round hole.

I’d also think that it’s a bit light to deem something as working and valid to use.
You say your problem is that you don't do planning, so perhaps that is where you should start. As with all other methods to organise yourself (e.g. a todo list on paper), they work but you have to actually use them consistently.
Given that the printing press was invented 1500 something (in Europe, China was probably earlier), the couple dozen years with typewriters and dot-matrix printers seem like a mere blip.

Why have two ways to do the same thing, where one is awkward and the other is not? Just commit to doing things the less awkward way, and throw out the idea that you need to be backwards compatible with something designed for a completely different purpose.
You’re claiming you printed these out, colored them in with crayons, enjoyed the experience, and at no point questioned whether you were infantilizing yourself?
You know, you could have learned how to put on a mask properly within the time period you spent arguing here. It’s not fucking rocket science.
Question: if you have some solder around and don't know if it's leaded... and you don't have enough practice to be able to tell the difference from the way it flows... is there an easy way to tell?
Note that if you go this route, you will need to get a standing desk converter to raise your setup a few inches. I have a 30" desk and, without a converter, my knees touch the edge of my desk. And with this chair you are encouraged to swap heights a lot, which you can't do if you have a static desk.

So the price of the chair isn't the full price, since you need some additional hardware too. But, that said, it has been a transformative change for myself and when I was grinding 12-14 hours every day for months on end this chair ended up fixing my back pain. (I'd been using pretty "meh" chairs for the first few weeks)

The price may feel high but the price of physical therapy for fixing your back muscles is much more expensive. And, in our profession, your only expenses are : Chair, desk, and computer setup.

Do yourself a favor and make a conscious decision to better your health. ;)

It's unrelated to boids, but I would not recommend using the Poly6 and Spiky kernels. That design originates from "Particle-based fluid simulation for interactive applications" (2003) by Müller et al., and they choose the spiky kernel on the assumption that a zero gradient at the origin is the reason why particles sometimes get stuck together. However, the clumping phenomenon was more closely studied by Dehnen and Aly in "Improving convergence in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations without pairing instability" (2012) [https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21439.x]. They showed that you can predict pairing instability based on neighbour count, and that kernel functions that are everywhere positive within the Fourier domain do not exhibit that instability.

The Wendland family of kernel functions are thus recommended, as they fulfill that criteria. Though, for low neighbour counts a quartic B-spline is a good alternative.

Also, congrats on escaping--err... graduating!
Some random techies on a forum, as well as East Asian governments and medical experts. But hey, what do they know.
This is really freaking me out. I’m absolutely pro vaccines, pro science, and pro medicine. But these timespans are incredibly short. Is there no reason why approving a drug for human use for a particular condition normally takes 9–18 months? How can we trust that a drug that has been fast tracked so much (5 days!!!) is safe?

I would be very hesitant to get a nCoV2 vaccine when it comes out if it’s been rushed so much. I’ve asked before but didn’t get any answer: are we confident the vaccine would be safe because most of the adverse side effects comme from the additives and we’d be repurposing an existing vaccine with additives known to be safe; so the worst that could happen is that the vaccine is not as effective as hoped without adverse side effects? Or is it an entirely novel vaccine in which case the very compressed testing and approval timeline makes it potentially not as safe?

Put another way: why do human drug trials take so long? Is it only so that medicines stay expensive and pharmas have a high barrier of entry to stifle innovation and competition, or is it really justified to make sure the medicine and vaccines are safe? As if these long amounts of time are necessary, what is different about this that would make a much much shorter timespan just as safe?

Edit to clarify: I’m not affirming additives are what’s harmful in vaccines. I’m far from being an MD and I just have rudimentary knowledge of that stuff. I don’t know for a fact the risk come from additives, this is just conjecture on my part and I mentioned it here so that other more knowledgeable people can correct/expand. Again, me belief is that vaccines are good, absolutely everyone should get them because they are a very cheap and efficient way to save lives. I’d just like to understand why we need years to approve a new medicine or vaccine but we’re pulling all stops for covid19, and what the actual risk would be as a result of this drastically shortened timeframe.
I remember back then the atmosphere was of extreme politeness... crazy how times have changed
