At my current job, It's where pretty much all information about our project gets disseminated so without it, we'd be feeling around blind. Any priority changes; changes which might not be well defined in the wires or stories; deadlines; information about meetings with the clients. It's also the place where the dev team, design, and QA touch base so if an issue comes up where there are pieces missing in the wires or QA is struggling to test something, we can quickly bring it up.

A big chunk is actually most useful for the PM, but often enough other issues get addressed that our short status meetings don't bother me.
Maybe. I feel like e-ink could have an iPhone moment. It just needs more attention. Remarkable and similar products are analogous to pre-iphone palm pilots.
Android has Instant Apps. Not sure how others feel but I hate it. Compared to a website it's slower to load, harder to share, and outside of my normal flow.

I guess it would be cool for a demo but I dunno. Also iOS apps are so large this won't be practical at all on cellular data.
> I've been working in Elm for a few years, and I feel like I can answer some of the questions.

Who's questions? The author didn't have questions about those things.

And I'm quite certain that the author is well aware of being able to edit a shell script to get around that restriction—and even if they don't, that doesn't change the content of the post.

> The 0.19 upgrade was fairly large, but manageable ..

For _you_, but not for everyone. Can you discount all of the experiences for those whom it wasn't manageable, and for those for whom it was impossible?

> .. an Elm package that hasn't received any updates in a year probably isn't abandoned ...

This wasn't always true. It's one of the reasons why the community forked several packages that authors had abandoned.

> .. most Elm code looks similar due to using the elm architecture ...

Oh dear. There's still so many approaches, and packages, about the different ways that people approach it.

Scorn can feel more mature than enthusiasm to a young person, but if you're lucky that's just a phase too.
Honestly, Shopify is probably your best bet, although they charge the seller about 2.9% of sales IIRC.
Aren't most child sexual abusers (90%+) close to the victim and half of them are from family?

Odd for government to go after chat apps and online encryption when they can't stop child sexual abuse in those places where it happens the most.
What if things get flipped in 20 years and lots of synthetic meats and other foodstuffs become the norm, would it be nice if the "natural" producers coopt their names and nouns to help sell their goods? for example, let's presume seitan is synthetic, it's well known for not being an animal product. But meat producers want in in their market and market "Natural Seitan"
Well, this is not truly defacto - if it's less than six months old, sure. There's some ancient history that complicates it. In practice I'm pretty sure Google and other providers will fight for a warrant (citing US vs Warshak), but technically speaking anything older than six months could be gotten with an administrative subpoena.

Of course, there's a whole 4th Amendment discussion there. And IANAL, so feel free to fact check whatever.

Nope. They’re often off by 7-11%. As evidenced in many elections.

MIUI has had this for a couple of years already. Leverages the Android feature for Google Play Instant as @esmi mentioned. I dont know how it works but effect appears to be a wrapper of sorts is setup for the app so the app itself does not get installed. Not all apps support this mode for reasons with which i am not familiar.
interesting but very expansive
With the enormous amounts of debt the US already has I simply fail to see how the country will recover any time soon (10 to 20 years). I am genuinely worried that the US will enter a spiral it never thought possible (worse than the cultural decline that led to Trump’s election).
I've used Hypermedia’s SIM boxes. They are pretty good - neat install, didn't break for a long while, well documented. Also very expensive what what they did, but hey you are paying for a boxed solution, right?

Maybe when I was young. But I have grey hair now. I'm sure some of it is grey because over the years I've made too many on off purchases of specialised boxes promising to do everything I needed at the time. The expensive, nerve racking disasters I've had in IT were caused by boxes like that - raid arrays that used some "high speed" proprietary format, IBM SCSI boxes that needed specialised IBM disks whose firmware bug happened to spray shit across the data flowing across the SCSI bus on occasion, hell even specialised Telco APN's they work for a few years then didn't, and after 6 months they admitted they had fired the people who set it up.

When that Hypermedia box died (and they all do eventually), I phone up the suppler - and a replacement was an order, payment, international freight, and customs away. That was weeks. So we are down for weeks.

The alternative is to make do with off the shelf retail components that is sold to ordinary punters every day. Yes, the components aren't as reliable. You also have to provide glue - but you write the glue or use open source, so visibility into problems is excellent and the response time is amazing. And they are dirt cheap, so you can keep a couple of hot spares on the shelf (as you would if you had 75 modems). Failing that getting new ones is just a case of going down to you local retail outlet and picking one off the shelf. And they actually have _less_ bugs, partially because there of millions of them out there, and partially because a retail brand will be overwhelmed if their channel fills up with failures.

I saw a misbehaving IBM SAN take out video production house once, and the 100 people who worked there. (Turns out movie length video editing pushes a SAN very hard.) I didn't make that purchasing decision, but I may well have back then. There but for the grace of god go I. I've came close enough as it is.

So no 128 x SIM boxes for me thanks.

For what it's worth, a one off expensive box is worth it if the purchase price includes a man carrying the requisite spares on your door step with 8 business hours when it breaks. Big companies like Dell, HP and IBM do that for their big iron. (In an amazing coincidence, the boxes they are willing to cover with that sort of service for 5 years at a moderate increment in the purchase price almost never break.)

The other time I'm now willing to purchase specialised boxes is if they are mostly open source (so I have visibility, and very little bespoke poorly road tested complex code), and I'm purchasing 100's of them so I can realistically price in keeping a bunch of them on the shelf in the initial purchase.
Well yeah, but I'm still keeping the flour in the paper flour sack (with it rolled up tightly), so the plastic bag encompassing it doesn't actually come in contact with any of the flour. It's just there to keep air, moisture, and bugs out.
The problem, you see, is that the money issued by the Fed is used all over the world through the magic of repo, while CPI is measured within the United States only. Ever heard of the shadow banking system? Eurodollars?

Okay, this sniped my curiosity. Where can I read more about the math/physics that makes this possible?
It's a bad faith argument. They don't care about pedophiles.

You're right. It's usually a teacher, neighbor, pastor, uncle, etc. "Stranger danger" is mostly BS unless you live in a really dangerous neighborhood, and there the risk is more likely to be simple robbery with incidental harm to the child.

Child sex abuse is also under-prosecuted and under-sentenced. Your average child rapist serves less time than people convicted of selling small amounts of drugs. It's really bad if the abuser is wealthy and can really put up a fight. Google Jeffrey Epstein's original indictment and the non-punishment he received.

If they really cared about child abusers they'd prosecute them more aggressively and sentence them more severely.
> One was to allow me my Debug.crash calls.

This innocent line has a lot behind it, and probably a lot of PTSD for Elm developers.

The Elm compiler has a --debug flag that would compile with a useful debugging window. It was fundamentally broken for how long? A year?

There were many, many posts about it in that time, several community forks etc. There was little comment on this from Evan or the inner circle.

The debug flag being broken, and seemingly ignored, is a horribly beautiful example of the blog post. Imagine having effectively the only debug tool broken for your main programming language
Are people here not aware of reCAPTCHA v3? It doesn't involve user interaction. I just integrated it into a site. Works well.
And yet the stock market is already recovering. I guess "worst crisis since Great Depression" has been priced in?
I recommend an audiobook course from Audible called

The Philosophers Toolkit: How to be the most rational person in any room
by The Great Courses
https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Philosophers-Toolkit-How-to-B...

It teaches you mental models on how to think and find a solution to a problem. It explains the concepts behind each model quite well.

Topics include how to determine a valid argument, an iron clad argument, using heuristics to solve problems, among other things.

My only gripe with the course I linked is that it is an audio version of what seems to be a video version on the Great Courses website. You might want to check that out too.
Voyager 1 is still in contact using a nominal 23W, despite being over 13 billion miles away and heading further out at over 10 miles per second.
as soon as I try to talk about it, they attack me (not here, work). All I am saying is a total lockdown is not the only answer, and they act like I am talking about government mandating everyone go out and lick railings
> falls outside of the social (but obviously not the legal) aspects of open source.

Not really, IMO. Forking a project used to be a really aggressive thing to do back before GitHub made it so common among younger waves of developers.

If you go to Evan and say, "Look, I want to use your thing but do it my way." and he says "No, I have a clear vision of what the thing is and it's not that. KTHXBYE." I don't think that's "being a jerk".
Covid-19 brought the world to its knees in 100 days
How a pandemic of this nature was not planned for, war gamed, and drilled until we could gain SOME intuition as to the optimal actions and effects countries should take to avoid economic meltdown while doing the vulnerable population right is beyond me. The U.N. was created to promulgate this kind of cooperation, and here it has utterly failed.
> Later, the Fed will unwind these supports as it did long after the great recession ended.

That was the idea at least.

I think there may be a difference between less common and novelty, otherwise we'd all be using Java.

Elixir (Erlang) has been around for a while and I would venture that the could be considered a little boring.

It's like functional programming. It's been around for a long time and it's safe to use, but some people would call it exotic and be afraid. It's less common, but not exactly novel.
It seems to me the projectile launching base would itself be an easy target.
They also would be limited from privileged data, like how many ICU beds are occupied by Covid-positive patients. The data requirements to pull off are high.
It's 10 bytes, so 80-bits.

You are correct that using a hash does not protect an individual from other users discovering that they can contact them with Signal, which is to be expected because that's the purpose of this feature. If you suspect that Bob, with phone number +15555551234 has Signal installed, you can verify that by... typing Bob's phone number into your contacts list and installing Signal so you can send messages to Bob.
The primary difference is that the kind of awareness cultivated during meditation is non-judgemental. Mindfulness helps put thoughts into perspective, where you can observe them rather than feel absorbed by them. So in this sense you can pay attention to your body without getting carried away by the stream of anxious thoughts.
> Luke is off and rude in this post at least.

I found him humble, self-aware, forgiving, and kind

> Why Luke didn't came up with big blog post about the features he would like to see in Elm? Much more constructive than bitching about it.

I think you may have missed one of, if not the, fundamental point of the post. Even if he did (which he did at times), it would've been pointless.
Like the sharp memory LCDs?

They're pretty cool but I think the limiting factor is demand rather than technology (although they do have a pretty niche construction in that the control sillicon is AFAIK actually fabricated inside/along the LCD panel)
The Swiss Federal Council is an example.
The article suggests that the stock market hasn’t priced this in yet. I don’t think that’s true.

Facebook and Google are both down more than 20% from their recent highs (along with the rest of the market, of course).

No one thinks that a recession is any kind of existential threat for either of them - they both have plenty of cash and fat profit margins.

And if anything, both companies are positioned to emerge from the pandemic in a stronger position than they started - with fewer competitors, more users, less expensive competition for talent (* whimpers *), and acceleration of long-term societal trends that benefit them.

Investors are not going to take their eye off the medium-term future of these companies because of an expected few poor quarters for very well-understood and temporary reasons.
If you're interesting in building your own you can get a 12" one from waveshare: https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/12.48inch...

This is the black/white one, they do a black/white/red one too. But beware, they take really long to refresh (the red color takes several refreshes to appear). And the one with red is on backorder till June.

It can be powered by a raspberry pi (or ESP32 or Arduino) and is (much) cheaper than the ereader options of the same size: Only about $170.

PS Beware: You can't simply start up a user interface like X-Windows on it. You have to write software to display on it. The display is addressed in 4 separate sections so it's not super easy.
There is always lots of volatility at a bottom. The stock market thought that the Great Depression was over quickly also.

At the end of the day, either the market is right or wrong.
Salary Cut from Coronavirus
Just wondering. Did anyone or know of anyone in engineering/development get a salary cut because of the coronavirus?
Not true. Search doesn't matter if people aren't there. I search on Amazon for stuff. I search on reddit for questions I have. I search on FB marketplace if I wanna get something 2nd hand. I post on FB group specific to topic. I use slack or discord to ask questions from live experts.

So yes they dominate the search, but "search" isn't what it could have been. I always thought how would someone ever defeat current giants. And while I heard the phrase I didn't get it, the next Facebook won't look like Facebook. Giants simply become irrelevant they are not defeated just forgotten.

The caveat to this: I would recommend putting such questions in a separate deck. Solving these problems take time.

What I do: Fact based stuff that I want to just recall quickly go in one deck. I do this deck daily - 5-10 minutes max while having breakfast.

The more complicated cards go in the second deck, which I do only occasionally (e.g. weekends when I have time).

When I initially had them all in one deck, there was no way to do a daily review in a few minutes, and so I would often do it less frequently which messes up the whole point of SRS.
'Market learned to smooth out crises, because so many happened' is now least true than ever.
There were some bull markets within the Great Depression, so like then, maybe the green days aren't here forever and we'll test new lows.. but for some reason I feel like it'll be bad but we'll be more resilient than the Great Depression (eternal optimist!).
The UN was created so countries like the US and USSR could have a forum to talk with each other and avoid nuking the entire world. How well do you think the UN would have helped those two cold war superpowers coordinate on a global pandemic? What you're looking for is a world government, not an international forum.
Really cool. Would this work with live video streams? Sports feeds?

So what? If I own a successful company, eventually I'm going to reach a point of diminishing returns. At that point, it no longer makes sense to reinvest my company's profits back into the same company. Eventually, I'm going to use that money to start a new business. Doing that will make more money and create more jobs than trying to scale my old company past the point of diminishing returns.

With a public corporation it's simply a case of management making that judgment on behalf of the collective shareholders.
She's a Democrat from the district including SF. She could eat a baby on live TV and still win. It's like being a Republican from a heavily rural Texas or Utah district. Congressmen and senators from hard single party regions are basically tenured.
There are two interesting parts to this. First, the stratospheric ducting, which is quite rare, but can have dramatic propagation for 6 meters (50Mhz) and above.

The second is the use of FT8, a new digital mode invented by Joe Taylor, W1JT, a nobel laureate. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Hooton_Taylor_Jr. Of particular interest is how his research confirmed Einstein's theory about gravitaitional radiation From the web site,

On VHF bands and higher, QSOs are possible (by EME and other propagation types) at signal levels 10 to 15 dB below those required for CW.

The mode and other related modes are described here: https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html.

(Side note--Joe spoke at the Dayton Hamvention Contest Dinner a few years back, and brought some recordings of pulsars.)
It's the course that launched Coursera (formerly ml-class.org), and is still one of the most highly rated on Coursera, so I dare say that you are in the minority with that opinion.
When the bond matures it must be paid back, and the money that was created when the Fed purchased it is now destroyed as the Fed receives the bond principal.

If the bond is not paid back and the debtor defaults, well... this can't happen with US Treasuries because the fed is an arm of the government and will always roll over a bond. But if it happens with the corporate bonds that the Fed is buying, then the US Treasury is on the hook for the losses because by law the Fed cannot be impaired.
This is management porn. Faster, cheaper, better - pick all three and throw in an extra, and you unlock innovation!

Innovation is cultivated independently of project constraints. Design constraints, sure. Avoiding too many chefs in the kitchen, fine. Avoiding bikeshedding, fine. But this is just extrapolating those out.
You can have a lot of contacts with a pretty minimal wire antenna, such as a dipole.

Taking the S&P 500 as an example, it is trading roughly where it was last May, so I guess last May’s optimism was actually “worst crisis since Great Depression” pessimism.

How does the senate stop the strong from trampling the weak? Who are the strong and who are the weak? Are African Americans weak? Are poor people weak? How do the delineations of state lines interact or align with boundaries of power?

If there's a proposal that Nevada should be the nuclear dump site of the nation, how would the structure of the house or senate stop that kind of thing? What if Nevada is just a trading item between two powerful parties? What does the constitution even say about this?

Now we are seeing a situation where California flexes its economic capacity during an international emergency. What are other states supposed to do in light of that? It's either a central force steps in to stop logistical contest based on morally and strategically questionable context (which state has more money), or...? What about the structure of congress speaks to this?

What Gavin Newsom is implying here, IMO, is that there's responsibility (and thus power) being left on the table. Due to this vacuum, even Jeff Bezos or Jack Ma could step in. What about the structure of congress speaks to this?

Ok, thank you. I found a page as well on the "so what" of that. http://www.crfb.org/blogs/cbo-consequences-growing-national-... . It would be interesting to pontificate about how much USD the Fed can print before it does have these bad impacts. Currently it seems we're in a deflationary period bc the velocity of money has gone down so much and people are holding cash. Will be interesting to see how much inflation there is down the line after the $500B extra they're printing now.
The Fed never unwound, at least beyond an initial and failed attempt.

When the Fed started unwinding a little over a year ago, they had to suddenly stop when markets tanked—hard. After the Fed ceased, stability returned.

I'm not sure there will ever be an unwinding, at least in the traditional sense.

Topping it off, starting last September, the Fed began emergency "not-QE" liquidity injections, which have unexpectedly grown over time.

And now, this black swan event. Nobody knows what's going on.
Because if I already have a K8’s cluster, and I want to run a application that requires ZK, I now have to dedicate resources to running a ZK cluster, within my K8’s cluster just to run the one application I cared about.

I also personally find configuring and running Java applications confusing AF. Why are the configs seemingly split into different places and environment variables? Does it get clearer after dealing with Java things for a while?
True, but base load plants are needed in reserve as well.
