Can't imagine getting shit for studying up on what's likely to help you get a job. I'd be doing the same if I were in your situation (though if laid off I'm hoping to start my own thing).
You would probably have fun building a hard magic system. Hard magic being a system that has strict rules for how things work. Soft magic being Gandalf style where how it works and how it's limited is unknown.

Lung-draining ‘turning teams’ may be the next evolution in Covid-19 care
I bought Omnisphere and a 25-key MIDI controller yesterday. I wanted for years to learn digital music production, but didn’t because I was busy. This quarantine gave me the chance to dedicate real time to it.
I'm writing a book at the moment[1], which means all my learning is focused on the table of content I made up a year ago.

But if I had time on my hand I would learn about:

* Adobe after effect not to only to edit videos but to animate!

* Illustrator, because it's the basis of any graphics

* Blender, because I want to learn about 3D graphics and this seems to be the reference

* Unity, a gaming engine, because I've always wanted to make a FPS game

* Phaser, an HTML5 gaming engine, because I want to make a multiplayer game with websockets. I'm thinking of starting with an online board game though.

Long-time user of Csound, Max, and Pd (& have spent a little time with ChucK & Supercollider).

Max & Pd are fantastic for incorporating sensors & other physical interfaces, real-time interactivity, routing signals, creating visualizations, & all that. Supercollider is fantastic for generative music & using control flow compositionally.

Csound, on the other hand, is really, really great for creating beautiful & nuanced electronic compositions. The sound quality is unrivaled (emphasis on accuracy over interactivity), the interface is great (plain text, which, as a programmer, I prefer), and GEN routines plus the myriad opcodes allow you to do some heavy, intricate aural spelunking.

As a bonus (& as mentioned by others), it’s highly performant & fairly easy to integrate with other languages & environments (including Max & Pd!).

The syntax is a bit strange, but once you get over that, Csound is an amazing piece of software.
> If there is one less to be learned from this whole Covid-19 debacle (and I'm sure there are several), it is that our entire news ecosystem, public and private, is fundamentally structured wrong for doing what is supposed to be its purpose, which is to make people better informed. It's not bad at it by mistake, it's bad at it as an inevitable consequence of its design.

You speak of a failure in design as the root cause of the failure to achieve the purpose of “to inform”.

From a teleological perspective, viewing the media as a tool designed “to inform” would be a mistake, it would amount to nothing more than a supposition.

Having “better informed” people was never the stated purpose of mass media so it would be wrong to say it is not fulfilling its design objectives. What would be applicable here to help us better understand the actual purpose of the media is POSIWID: ”the purpose of a system is what it does”[0]

Right now, I'm learning math. I met a PhD via Discord who is giving me problems to work and checking my solutions. It's been quite fun so far, working on Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra.

I'm also doing baking; baked my first loaf of bread yesterday. Really interested to learn (and eat!) more.

I'm tempted to pick up a cheap instrument and learn one as well, or delve back into Python some more. Or drawing. My main issue is focusing now, sadly. Any tips there would be appreciated.
Well it amplifies the signal by the Q of the antenna. The issue is that high Q resonators make lousy radiators, as the radiation resistance is very low compared to the reactance, and bandwidth is 1/Q. But you can certainly get amplification by a high-Q resonator inserted in a field.

This is why electrically small antennas have an effective aperature much, much larger than their physical size. That ferrite rod antenna in an AM radio can have a massive electrical aperature (antenna gain) since it is narrow band (high Q). The resonance is amplifying the signal.

You can also transmit through it if you can keep it cool. It may have 0.1% efficiency, radiating 1W for 1 kW of input power, if you have a nuclear reactor (say a VLF antenna on an aircraft carrier where you can’t have wire antennas), you can trade power for size.

That's why 'conservative'. I.e. it's allowed to reject a valid, terminating program, but if it does pass the check, your program is guaranteed to terminate. This is something that's possible, the only question is the tradeoff between the subset of the syntax and how complicated is the static analysis.

Companies. Don't. Exist.

We made these things up because they are a convenient and useful abstraction, but let's not forget that they are a legal fiction. So guess what you call a company that pays taxes? Fiction! Companies can't pay taxes because they don't exist, only people can pay taxes. So when you tax a company, it ultimately comes from the pocket either of an owner, an employee, a supplier or a customer.

If we were honest about this and not just looking for a boogeyman that we can pretend to stick the bill to, then we'd switch to a conversation about capital gains, income and consumption taxes.

> Ruby uses it in iterators (I think) and if I'm not mistaken Rust uses it with closures.

Ruby and Rust both use them for closures (I assume Rust took them from Ruby). Nearly all of Ruby's iteration constructs are based on closures, so it makes sense that you understood them as for iterators.

Hey, I recommend checking out type-graphql and especially Nexus to work with GraphQL on server-side.
If you want to go serious about GraphQL I also recommend reading Production-ready GraphQL. I've been working with gql for 4 years now but this book really deepened how I think about modelling my schemas, queries and mutations.

I am trying to understanding more about why programming is so complex (it is some kind of calling after 25+ years of programming). I am doing this learning via working on projects in a diverse range of technologies (asp.net with c# & f#, js & typescript & purescript + node, js + typescript + react(native), haskell and clojure) and by working on proofs in tla+/agda/idris.

My paid work is currently (inherited projects in) c#, so I try to mix environments by experimenting (and studying the runtimes / compilers at the same time) with little tools/libs [0] (not for production, but I keep wondering if there are ways to bring things that help me from in language A to language B).

>The main reason config files exist is so you can edit the program without recompiling

This isn't generally the reason. The main reason config files exist is so you can run the program in in a different state easily. State differs across environments, code should not. This is why you have a config file for prod and test and dev, but you shouldn't have different code for prod and test and dev. You still have to rebuild the app for those environments. See: https://12factor.net/config.

The best startups I've worked for have had multiple founders. It gives you multiple points of view. The company is less likely to make a mistake. And when it does, it's less likely to stay with it.

With a single founder, it's very easy to go in the wrong direction. Because the person is stubborn, won't consider the alternatives, and has no "equals" to confer with, it often stays that way...

Obviously there are exceptions.
But if it's allowed to reject a valid terminating program it's allowed to reject arbitrary, otherwise valid, configuration programs. In other words, you can no longer trust the output of the validator - the weakened model significantly reduces the utility of the validator.
It was an incredibly damaging one-off that has killed children. Clearly the vast majority of their work is worlds better than that, but I was replying to the appeal to authority that demands respect and belief for a work that itself purports to be nothing more than a very rough estimate.

Nonetheless, this piece isn't "thoroughly checked" because there is nothing to check. They took the deficient data from China and added suppositions to it. It's neat, I guess, but meaningless.

This paper is not being taken as authoritative anywhere. No one is making policy decisions on it. Zero ground-truth is changing because of it. Because it's a cursory, superficial guesstimate (that is literally the most accurate word) just to appease curiosity.

Photogrammetry.

This is exactly my experience with both sc and Csound. (And Max too, for different reasons.)

Csound is based on a synthesis paradigm that dates back to the very first computer music experiments. It started life as a microcomputer implementation of Music 11, which was based on Music IV, which dates back to the 60s - and it hasn't moved on from there.

Meanwhile sc is a masterpiece of software development - a smooth and clever integration of a custom DSL with distributed real-time synthesis.

But musically it's damn near impossible to get it to sound as nice as a mediocre VST, never mind a good one, and the sequencing and event management are eccentric at best.

Essentially these systems are all opinionated frameworks with a huge conceptual overhead. They're supposed to make music-from-DSP easier to learn, but students have to learn DSP and a completely new and unusual programming language at the same time. And that's too much to expect of most people, even for A-grade students with PhD potential.

So they tend to be used for tinkering and for academic music projects. It's not quite true that no worthwhile music has ever been made with these systems, but it's not an exaggeration to say that very little has. And when you include the learning curve, the ratio of time spent to creative benefit is unimpressive.

> does it then allow you to write custom code to add business logic

Yes! Like gavinray said, you can create HTTP services in any language of your choice. Hasura can then be configured to call HTTP endpoints when something changes in the DB. And your services can call Hasura anytime of course.

Remember that Hasura handles all the authorization for you, so there's no need to "proxy" requests made to it.

You end up writing very little compared to traditional frameworks.
Hey thank you for the feedback - you're not wrong. We haven't exaclty given Linux the focus it deserves. We're aware of these issues and working on fixing them.

Aren't there different type of Tax-avoidance? I am not extremely familiar with Amazon, but AFAIK, Amazon invest most of their profits, if not more ( which can be deducted the following year ) into investment for the company. That could be R&D, benefits its employees, etc. And since they made little to no profits, they paid very little tax.

That is perfectly fine to me, especially when Interest rate is ridiculously low it is simpler to borrow than to sit on cash.

Buying Back Stock in order to avoid tax is wrong to me. Especially if they are borrowing money in doing so. Since its incentive is only to its shareholder ( and its executive ) at the expense of Tax. And as far as I know it was illegal pre 1982.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems people often mixed up the two.
Can you 'click together' CRUD apps with them though? Or you need to write XML? I did not check them for quite a while because everything that could've been 'no/lowcode drag & drop' was quite painful before.

""" Guided by the principle ofprimum non nocere (first do no harm), we report a cautionary note on the potential fatal toxicity of chloroquine (CQ) or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in combination with anti-diabetic drug metformin. We observed that the combination of CQ or HCQ and metformin, which were used in our studies as potential anti-cancer drugs, killed 30-40% of mice. While our observations in mice may not translate to toxicity in humans, the reports that CQ or HCQ has anti-COVID-19 activity [1], the use of CQ resulting in toxicity and at least one death, and the recent Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for CQ and HCQ by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prompted our report. Here we report the lethality of CQ or HCQ in combination with metformin as a warning of its potential serious clinical toxicity. We hope that our report will be helpful to stimulate pharmacovigilance and monitoring of adverse drug reactions with the use of CQ or HCQ, particularly with metformin.
"""

Maybe just read the introduction instead of writting this kind of complotist nonsense? I know that's not the first thing to read in a usual, well-written scientific paper, but there is a lot of papers about covid19 everyday and clinical papers are weird anyway.

HCQ enters trial testing and if we can reduce the number of trial death due to wrong medicamental interactions, it will probably boost the survival of tested people using HCQ, so even if a conspiracy exist, you should be happy that paper like this exist, no?

A thing i saw that works against a conspiracy against HCQ is that on french and US website, everyone is talking about HCQ, well or not, but a lot of other, poorer countries put their hope on interferon (as i do: i take chlorphetamine and other antihistamin drugs that can cause tachycardia especially in spring/summer, and i have arythmia => i'd like to avoid another drug with heart-related secondary effect, my kidney and may spleen are in perfect condition, i'd rather ruin them)

If i couldn't read spanish, i wouldn't even know about interferon tbh, it's much more promising that HCQ: like HCQ it works in vitro against HIV, but unlike CA that agravate AIDS, interferon works in vivo too.
