> valuable part of the system anyway (premium content and paying users).

doubt. The most valuable part of the system is the large audience. Youtube's advertising dollars is vastly bigger than any of the premium content from other places. Unless the new premium platform is also powered by advertising and tracking, and selling of demographic data about the audience for targeted ad campaigns. There's very little that can currently compete with short-form video content for the masses.

Well the good news is, zinc is unlikely to kill you, as long as you don’t overdo it.

The bad news is it’s unlikely to be the zinc bullet you seem to hope. There’s some effect for the common (non-Coronavirus) cold, likely in people that are deficient. But there’s no more reason to believe this carries over to covid than there is for any other virus, like HIV, herpes, Hep C, etc.

I can’t think of a single infectious disease, bacterial, viral, prion, fungal, or parasitic, that is effectively treated by zinc or similar. There are basically two halfway-successful treatments for viruses, in total: HIV and Hep C. Both took decades to find, cost billions, and are somewhat nasty (Hep C more so than HIV). The chances of finding a covid treatment are magnitudes lower than the chances of creating a vaccine.

He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus
On the one hand it's easy because you only get to target one version of your software.

I feel like Microsoft somewhat had that problem solved --- if I just want to create a basic Windows GUI app, and know that I don't need any of the newer features, I can create one binary which will work from Win95 onwards.

On the other hand your developing environment can suddenly change, what worked fine yesterday requires a complete rewrite the next day.

I've seen that happen with most of the other platforms; and relevantly to this article, Apple is a good example of constant breaking change.

I'd suggest making that part of your sales pitch: "I'm applying to your job because I'm eager to learn but there weren't a lot of growth opportunities at my old job for me. Here are some of the things I tried do to grow: ..." You can attempt to point your interpreter side project but you'd better be prepared to talk about it in deep detail.

I'd also suggest asking your management about whether training budget is available and, if so, asking to use it to learn something work related.

> "How do you seek out challenging work in your existing org?"

I don't really have any advice to provide for that; the problem in the places where I've worked tends to be avoiding being drowned in challenging work. That being said, surely there's some form of automation, security evaluation, code analysis or some other common industry tooling or practice that your organization could be using but isn't? I've yet to meet a software team that was doing everything optimally.
vimeo has a $55/month cost for 5T of videos. Most youtube channels that are businesses make way more than $55 per month, and youtube keeps way more than $55 of their ad revenue.

I dont think the major reason creators choose youtube because it's "cheap" - it aint. It's the only game in town where there's sufficient advertiser demand to pay out money. And youtube knows this, and thus, can charge the 45% split. The "free" aspect is also keeping out new competitors - the business moat is huge. There's a reason why microsoft or amazon isn't getting in the game.

I'm not looking for a magic bullet.

I never know how to effectively communicate my mental models. A lot of my thinking falls roughly under "Going to war to preserve the peace is like fucking to preserve virginity."

The body is the landscape this war is being fought upon and modern medicine is all too happy to bomb the hell out of it in hopes of exterminating a few invaders, then acts all confused and befuddled when some bodies don't survive that approach.

I'm looking to understand a puzzle piece. Shooting people, no matter how "ooh, shiny" your magic bullet is, tends to do egregious harm. It's not how you restore health.

I wonder if your shoelace became untangled prior to mounting the Uni - or if the extra pedaling required to sustain balance on a single wheel was the force that undid the lace (single tied means you did not plan for your novel experience of a "longer" path - a tight double keeps mine intact during vigorous activity).

Looking down seems risky, because a Uni implies increased balance difficulty and frequent knowledge update of path ahead, perhaps more effort than a Bi which grants extra available mental real estate at the cost of increased local noise pollution.

I suppose the lesson you are trying to teach us is that the drawback of being silent (via Uni) is that one must spend extra time during the preliminary equipping phase (shoelace).

At first glance I wondered about a flailing shoelace becoming a tangle hazard (gears/chain/rotation within proximity).
It hasn’t been until this one, though, if this flaw is true.

I don't see the distinction. I started my career using command line tools and am completely comfortable with them. Yet for more recent projects I stay within the IDE (usually Visual Studio).

It doesn't matter whether I tick a checkbox for compiler warnings or add that option to the command line. The only difference is the IDE makes options easier to discover.

It's the same for Git. A decent GUI gives you a much better visual picture of the state of your working copy.
Side poll: Do people automatically download OS updates for their computers? A lesson from my Windows days way back when was never to update anything unless absolutely needed -- computer, phones, etc. "Needed" is loosely defined as "key software that you need to work is no longer working on your older OS, hence you need to upgrade your OS to keep using this key software (sorry!)."

I'm aware of security patches etc, but risk of regular things breaking for little apparent upside has always led me (and most folks I know) to avoid upgrades except in the above-mentioned case.

Edit, not just asking about Windows, but all operating systems, OSX, iOS, Android, Linux, etc.
As a data scientist, I feel like I have to deal with this shit at work all the time. The data matters and "we're data driven" unless the data disagrees with whomever you're talking to. If someone slices data in a shitty way, then you're being too pedantic when you point it out that they're implicitly making bad assumptions.
Compile errors due to misspelling and "what was that function called again?" expeditions are distractions. My department did us a great disservice by never even hinting to students (at any level) that tooling can make them go away. It was almost painful, working on group projects, to see my classmates struggling so hard just to move around the code. Being unable to seamlessly work your editor and navigate your codebase is just as crippling as hunt-and-peck typing. Is it worth a lecture? No. But a mention? Absolutely.

VCS is essential in a solo project of any real complexity because you will reach intermediate milestones, go off on tangents that don't pan out, and then desperately wish you had a way to get back to the working state you had hours previously. A true VCS with branching and merging is technically overpowered, since you could just make copies of the source for each "commit," but you may as well just use Git.

Build system is not about shipping to people, it's about running what you just wrote on your own machine when it's bigger than one unit of compilation (C file, Java class, whatever). You don't need anything fancy, can just be Make or a shell script, but building and running the whole project should take no more than a few keystrokes. Kids should be fumbling with GCC flags for maybe one assignment, not 4 years.

On the very first day of programming, all you need is a REPL. But once students are doing programming projects of nontrivial size, they should be invited to try incorporating the tools that make them manageable.
Ditto. My worst problem has been that some games on Steam claim they don’t work on Mojave... but they do.
Their actual argument is that the arms don't sit exactly to the sides of the body like in a Lego man, which is true. The armpit example is just a little exercise people can do at home to convince themselves of this fact. If you don't like it, just take a look at a human being. There is more flesh in the back than in the front, the arm has a wider range of movement in the front, etc.

I also take exception to your use of "bro science" as a derogative. Bro science is most common in the fields of exercise and nutrition, and if you look at the resulting bro bodies, they are strong and athletic. Meanwhile, academic nutritionists have presided over a public health disaster that has left the majority of Americans grossly unhealthy and obese. The experimental conclusion is that bro science is far superior to academic science.
It has changed, yes. Most people don’t even have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file anymore; it’s all autodetected now.
Static IP isn't necessary for hosting from home but a "Non-NAT" connection is. If you don't have a static IP, you can use a service such as dynaDNS or something which runs on your server and keeps informing your subdomain to use the ever changing dynamic address. But if your device sits behind a NAT, then its not accessible from outside at all (unless the device initiates the connection), thus its impossible to host if your ISP has placed you behind a NAT. But the plus point, on the other hand, is increased security which is probably good for the majority of people.

So I finally took the plunge into learning what IPFS is about. And I must say.

Content-addressing is FAR easier to understand than location addressing. In fact, it's the way most people think of a url. I'm sharing "this picture." When you post to Facebook, you're "writing to your friends and family," not "uploading my stuff to a faceless corporation for them to monetize in whatever way they see fit." I mean, folks have a better understanding that that's what they're doing NOW, but a honestly IPFS seems closer to the way people intuitively use and think about the web.

The 1700s Plague Cure That Inspired an Uncannily Contemporary Cocktail
No need to apologize, because this is a matter of intellectual discourse. Being "clear" (also a Scientology concept) implies that you wanted me to "see it your way" instead of inspiring my new thought vector (which you have - my past 72 hours have been positively altered because of your input on this surrogate-preface-phrasing matter).

But now that you have clarified your intended description of your twitch.tv banter encounter - it makes sense. "No meme" is a synonym for "no joke". Joking exists as an informal method of addressing (challenging?) a certain idea, and laughter reporting (lol, rofl, lmao, etc) confirms reception. Twitch seems to be a social arena for leisure, where workers exchange ideas and bond after-hours over a shared virtual experience with allotted "free" time (virtual/comfortable, therefore abundance of "joking" because nothing is at stake). But when a user desires to "get down to business" and submit concepts to the local chat space because her/his mind has been prompted to consider more pressing issues, then the surrogate-preface-phrase "no meme" can be applied in order to summon the "real world" empathy of connected compatriots also confined to the same virtual space.

> When are recruiters going to realise that just because you can reduce a person to a HackerRank score, that doesn't inform a good hiring decision?

Never. If tech people can't find a way to do it there is no way a non-technical person will be able to. Pretty sure this is why Google has its own recruiters. Your average recruiter has no clue how to grade candidates. For other companies it's probably best to find a way to apply directly.

I recently went through the process and got a job from a direct application. I dealt directly with the tech lead. The process was entirely devoid of BS. We understood each other right from the beginning---perfect clarity. After the little bit of time I spent looking through job ads and dealing with recruiters I am endlessly thankful that I got this job before having had to deal with all that for longer than a couple of weeks. The difference was stark.
No, but the post is largely a quote of a blog post (the guy who declared UC Berkeley a failure), which is in turn a followup on a different blog post.

I respect Andrew Gelman, but in this case I think he jumped to fit this into a pattern where it doesn't belong. I've looked into all the criticisms of Why We Sleep (which, again, covers hundreds of studies), and there's no p-hacking, there's no fraudulent data, there's no piles of studies retracted, and there's no crisis of replication. Literally the worst criticism is that one bar of a bar graph is removed, in a way that doesn't even change the point of the single sentence referring to it. There are simply better targets out there than sleep.

It's not a dumb question, not at all.

Processor vendors have been trying to tell us that they can protect parts of the CPU from its user. Intels version of that is called SGX.

There are very few good use cases of this. Also it doesn't really work.

But there are gazillion ways to attack it, so plenty of papers can be written about it.

> The big techs cannot differentiate between legitimate de-platforming

I can try to give some guidelines, I'd love to see improvements (and also like to know if anyone points out I'm wrong :-)

Legitimate de-platforming is

a) when an individual or organization is removed from the platform based on a request from law enforcement followed by a review by the platforms staff to verify that the request is genuine and that the reasons stated are valid.

The account should still not be deleted for a certain number of days, and if requested by the user or organization, relevant details should be made available to them to take fight it in court against the relevant law enforcement agency.

b) when an individual or organization is removed from the platform based on an written policy, known by the users of the platform in advance and verified by a second team. Upon request an explanation of why the account was deplatformed should be made available.
Mostly to do with recognising an external monitor.

Here's an anecdote - Java almost made me drop out. My university was teaching Java and it was absolutely awful experience. Me with my web 1.0 html/css and turbo pascal experience was blown away how awful "professional" programming was.

Then I found this new kid on the block Python and it was a completely different story. I fell in love with programming and hacking in general and finally at the end of the study I knew enough of python to bootstrap myself with Java which I still think is an abomination.
Once students finally graduate they might be unlucky enough to land a job as a Java developer. Here they will live and breathe continuous integration where its essential to write build scripts that can be exported to other environments, and the only way to do this is to use command line recipes.
