It's not a layer of idiocy - that's a common misconception (which I didn't help with, tbf) and unfair to good middle management. What it is is a layer of isolation. And they do also serve another real organisational need, to help coordinate the workforce. Without such a structure, organisation cost is O(N^2). When your business model is paying smart people $X to build a thing, then selling the thing for 10 * $X, you can't let the smart people know that the thing is sold for that much or they'll start demanding more money (or quit and start their own competing company selling a better product for 4 * $X.)
But you do seem to be suggesting that "people spreading it around on their own" is a "solution to Covid-19"?

Otherwise, what is your plan for this attenuated strain? Don't get me wrong, I think large scale sequencing or COVID19 is interesting. But think that attempting to spread a attenuated strain without regulatory approval is probably a very bad idea.
I doubt the regulators would even try to stop it. They can move fast when they want.

The process of finding any useful strain is going generate good data that it is safe anyway.
I like to be a grammar Nazi as much as the next guy, but honestly I'm over this one.

It seems that the logical fallacy definition of "begs the question" has now become a recursive example of question begging itself. The only reason it means self-referencing argument is because 10% of the population believes it does. I'm half-convinced this was all just some linguist's April Fool's prank gone awry.

The reality is the literal definition of "begs the question" is commonly accepted, well understood, and frankly, makes a hell of lot more sense. I'm fairly certain that it is the only definition for that term that is held by a majority of English speakers. If that doesn't make it the official definition, then what does? There is no English Language Preservation Organization. If most people think that is what it means, then that is what it means.
Why IT Asset Management is so important for business?
Yeah? Being managed poorly doesn't mean they don't have the resources to do it differently. It just means they're not willing to expend those resources.

My point is, if we look at the other end of the spectrum, we have small companies that literally cannot afford to mentor juniors while paying them a salary (and tying up the seniors' productive time). Here it's not a question of how your company chooses to manage things, it's a question of whether they can afford to spend 20% of the budget on something that may turn out not to produce anything of value. Even if they're willing, it's a big gamble and can really put the company out of business in worst case.

So your workflow has changed. You added additional tools to it. These tools have always been electron. You don’t have to use them. There are alternatives.

The people behind these tools have decided that they target an audience you don’t belong to. You are of course free to ask them to change the audience, but you are not entitled to that
Agreed, the address bar popup is very annoying. It should be possible to disable, permanently.

>How does the seller selling the kebabs in riyal get the chicken given they only earn riyal?

They buy the dollars they need to buy the chicken off the Saudi national bank for Riyal. That’s their job. Controlling that rate is a primary way the SA government manages their domestic economy.

Though I don't see this recapturing the casual reverse engineering market that Ghidra ate for lunch unless they have very compelling IDA Home pricing for the decompilers as well (the “One processor family of choice from the most common processors: PC, ARM, M68K, MIPS, PPC” statement is kind of vague about that).
> it’s silly to think one city is better than another on some objective scale

I think very old, classic measures like economic activity, the number of great works of art that come out of a place, the influence of a city on its surrounding region and its world, and the progress toward better public health and safety measures (highly relevant here) are a lot more quantifiable than one might at first believe.
To be clear here, there is no such thing as an "10W" license. The FCC grants three types of licenses, each with increasing privileges. Any licensed person can operate at power levels up to 1500 watts for General and above, 200 watts for Novice/Technician. Operating at 10 Watts and below is a popular form of communicating called QRP. It does, however, still require a license.
You also need to have a licensed individual at the far end if you want to have two-way communications. If they're receive-only, then no license is required.
Well they could've at least made a setting to permanently disable it...
The praying for the non-religious?

How does that work?
You should try to set up your computer so that you can run native apps with only about the level of privilege that a website in incognito mode has. It would really increase your flexibility.

I'd personally suggest setting up a virtual machine with some sort of "checkpointing" feature, where you can rewind the machine to an earlier state if you don't like what an app did to it.
I don't need default select all, but it's convenient for me. My top two uses of the address bar are to

1. enter a new url
2. copy the url

The first step of both is to select the entire url, so this is good for me. I have a few programs that automatically copy on selection, but thankfully, firefox isn't one of them. That behavior really irritates me.

"We have a choice of taking some small risk now, or face the certainty of a much worse problem later. Time to accept some risk and do something."

Agreed 100%.

What about simply letting the people who young and healthy or immune go about their lives?

Letting the young and healthy get sick and then become immune is essentially using an attenuated human instead of an attenuated virus. Same outcome though.

This would both build herd immunity and keep the economy going.
10-20% seems really low in my experience. Do you mainly hire out of the industry?

Hiring heavily from colleges results in 60%+ of applicants that somehow have a B.Sc. from a university that produces amazing applicants with great (3.5+) GPA's but stall at either fizzbuzz or (just in case they memorized fizzbuzz) i-can't-believe-it's-not-fizzbuzz.

Furthermore, some candidates (20ish percent?) can't even answer basic, non-trivia questions about their language they self-report to know best. e.g. Java programmers who either don't know or cannot articulate what the static keyword does.

I'm convinced there's a path through every university, no matter how good, where you can avoid all the good professors and only pick babysitter professors and squeak through your four years with a piece of paper and a well-tuned sensor for which profs actually grade homework instead of just giving 100's so people don't complain.
Because it’s simply too slow for dual core to be useful. Few people will bother investing programming resources to extract maximal benefit out of those dual cores when faster single cores are dirt cheap.
All the attenuated live viral vaccines spread. This is one of the reasons they are so effective since they keep herd immunity up. For example, every kid that gets the live polio vaccine spreads it around to their peers and parents.

Matte is "only" around 50:1, which still beats e-ink by a lot. Newsprint struggles to approach even that because the inks are formulated to be inexpensive, thus not heavily saturated, so the "black" is really a dark gray, and the paper is cheap pulp that probably couldn't be bleached really white without disintegrating anyway.
Question about the Samsung Frame that I didn't find answered in reviews: Does the adjusting brightness etc to look natural also work with external signals, or only when showing images in "art mode"?
> Open Source BEGAN as a marketing term for a particular software development philosophy BEFORE there was a settled definition for what open source software meant. To this point, one of the founding inspirations was http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral.... Furthermore the practices for how Elm is being developed are exactly against that philosophy.

If you're going to bring up the origins of "Open Source", the above is NOT CORRECT.

It began as a marketing term for "Free Software" principles, as it was realised the FSF marketing wasn't convincing people in corporate environments.

From Wikipedia (I think this is accurate):

>> Netscape's act prompted Raymond and others to look into how to bring free software principles and benefits to the commercial-software industry. They concluded that FSF's social activism was not appealing to companies like Netscape, and looked for a way to rebrand the free software movement to emphasize the business potential of the sharing of source code.[35]

Not as a marketing term for Bazaar principles, despite ESR's involvement in both around the same time. Obviously the Bazaar paper added significant inspiration to the movement and to many projects, and informs some people's expectations around Open Source. But I have heard ESR talk about the origins of "Open Source" and it was quite clearly because "Free Software" wasn't getting the message across; the latter was too ethics focused for the corporates.

Btw, you can have Open Source without a Bazaar, and you can have Bazaar-style development without Open Source too (a lot of companies do so without giving it that name).
Yes. In fact, I was wondering if I could "just" run the REPL from the MarkMap website locally. Would make things a lot easier.

I've run distributed projects for a long time. Distributed is significantly more efficient for most situations. The main benefits can be gained in an on site environment as well, but is culturally difficult to implement since on site organisations are already encumbered by ancient hierarchies, egos, communication and decision patterns, etc.

In my experience it's easy to convince top management or company owners/investors, but difficult to get middle management on board. Especially since the requirement for middle management in a distributed project is near zero.

When moving to wfh:

- move to asynchronous, shared, transparent communication. Don't use email.

- trust your people to know what to do, give them more autonomy and responsibility.

- stay in touch, but make sure it's on dev-schedule not management-schedule.

- help your people to eliminate all annoying friction wherever possible. Good audio, soundproofing, temporary walls for their house, good desk, chair, etc. Grocery delivery, child care, errands, and so on. This stuff is cheap compared to lack of time and focus for your devs.
I'm really happy with that.

It can things I didn't know I would like to have :D
Thank you so much for the detail.

Could you expand on the "easier on the eyes" part? What did your eyes feel like at the end of a work day before acquiring this monitor versus now?
"It took everything in me to not write back saying..."

Sometimes it is worth writing back. Because people often don't realize there are flaws in the process they are using. Either they will ignore the feedback and it's business as usual or they will take it and work towards improving the system.
That probably doesn't matter to the people pushing the NDA. Why should they care about the realities of contract law, when they can just make up lies and get people to believe them under threat of lawsuit?

It's just like how so many car dealerships will tell you that getting your car serviced anywhere else will "void your warranty" even though that's blatantly illegal.

It has nothing to do with legality and everything to do with Republican governors being scared to act without Trump’s approval since they’re scared of losing their power. All Trump had to do was recommend stay-at-home orders be implemented by the states and it would’ve happened. You saw it with Florida and Georgia, and the Georgia governor had the nerve to claim he didn’t know there was asymptomatic spread.

This is not a legal issue, it’s a political one.
You're changing the subject: if indeed the number of deaths from flu and covid are the same, during a quarantine, we have made a terrible mistake. I have no idea if they are the same. Do you?

TBH it's entirely in character with "make X Y again" to give some recommendations that are super straightforward and sound appealing, don't make a case that X is in fact no longer Y, completely ignore why those recommendations haven't been implemented thus far, and don't spend any time thinking about whether there's even the slightest downside to those recommendations (which are in fact super dangerous/harmful).
I'm the author - the idea was, that you would be able to do

Oh, wow, guys, absolutely watch this. She was so great.

I'd agree on a lot of things in life, but UX is an exception because decisions made about how we interact with something have an area of effect.

I've railed against Google's UX approach for years. Their UX approach requires too many steps between states. Where does this get dangerous, even potentially lethal? Android Auto.

If one lock screen is too distracting while driving, Android Auto adds one more. None of your non-Google App notifications will appear on your dashboard, but Android Auto doesn't let you access your notifications unless you completely exit the app. You can't open Messages in Android Auto, even when the vehicle is not in motion. Android Auto disables all touch controls when the vehicle is in motion, and if you disabled Google Voice on your phone, you won't know until you're going 80MPH down a highway and need to adjust your GPS that you can't use touch, you can't use Voice, and you'd have to exit Android Auto just to re-enable it, and it can't just be enabled for Android Auto, it has to be enabled for your whole device... and Google owns any data you generate with the Voice Assistant, and you have no right to restrict how Google uses it, including the sale of that data to a third party.

So, I agree on most things to not be rude. But with UX, the goal is to prevent conflicts by modeling features around our most likely approach to using said features. When professionals at Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple, force end users to use features in a specific (rather than intuitive) way, the consequences are wide and deep and the terms of service make it impossible to hold them accountable to change it.
The Place and Play looks very much like what I am looking for, but indeed, the prices are not exactly consumer-level.

I really wonder, whether there would not be more consumer interest in these devices, if there were actual offerings. What about offering the 13" display in a plastic housing with a software more crafted to the consumer/hobbyist? Perhaps powered and controlled by USB-C or optimized for the Raspberry Pi. How low could the prices go, especially with larger volumes?

Of course, it could be just me, and there is not much interest in the wider audience.
A Long Time Until the Economic New Normal
Ok I've had one experience with a guy that I guess thought he was a rockstar, in my opinion he was my level (from looking at the code, although he was much better than me at DevOps), but he did have one awful failing, he didn't want to figure out why something was the way it was and just decided to rewrite everything.

Also he thought I had done something using ElasticSearch because I was an ElasticSearch guy, instead of having learned ElasticSearch because I thought it was what was needed (and no amount of explaining this simple concept could penetrate)
Bald Eagle Nest Livestream
There are several things that make me give this a thumbs down.

First: "All these usability problems aren’t just making it more difficult to write code, they are unnecessarily causing the industry to lag behind academia."

Industry lag behind academia? Seriously, have you any idea of the amount of data that industry crunches these days, while some in academia still think half a GB is "big data"? Or the amount of money there is in the kind of ML that industry does (which is the main reason why anyone cares about this field at all).

Also, your whole post is about innovation going on at ... google. Then apple. Not academia.

Secondly: "swift is fast", point taken. Then you go off on a drool about your favourite syntactic sugar. My own experience is that this is exactly the kind of thing you do not need in an enterprise-grade product.
It's hard to appreciate today what powerful magic FORTRAN and COBOL were in the 60's and 70's. To learn COBOL was entering a world where you were in control, where you could cast spells that really worked, and get paid for it.

It's like humour: Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Lewis & Martin never made me laugh, but I have no doubt they were fresh, innovative and irresistible in their day.

When I saw my first computer graphics animation in 1966, a crude wireframe of an aircraft, my mind was blown. I was feverish with excitement. It's a shame we can never recapture that zeitgeist.

You’re being pedantic. Some Republican governors were scared to enact stay-at-home without Trump’s blessing. It has nothing to do with what’s legally possible in the US.

I agree. The vast majority of all cases were I click on the URL bar is because I want to replace or copy what's there. In the few cases when I want to modify the address I can just click an extra time. Select all optimizes for the common case for me and probably most users.

I also like that the list of previous visited sites are shown wherever I click now, the down arrow wasn't really necessary. But I don't have anything under the URL bar, I have all my bookmarks next to it.

There's all this talk of "this is what the virus unchecked leads to, so we can't let up".

I'm not suggesting we throw up our hands and attend tightly packed concerts.

I'm suggesting we stop pushing for an R value of 0, and instead deliberate what the least costly options are (both economicly and in human life) keeping the R value under 1.

We might not be conciously pushing for an R value of 0, but it appears that way.
hackinthebochs: Your point seems to be that a thing has to exist- have some ontological status, to have thoughts at all, even if that "thing" is only itself a thought or, more vaguely, a temporary convergence of "something or other." When you say "self" or "I" as in, "I think therefore I am" people drag in a whole load of qualities they attribute to a self or an I. I feel like that is what your interlocutor is getting caught on. I understand and take your point.
It would only be logical to require a "vaccine-strain" that has the capability for uncontrolled spread to go through much more stringent trials and paperwork than one that is limited by distribution.

The whole argument about attenuated strains being a possible shortcut seems to be a variation of the "natural medicine" fallacy.

Could you share about the refresh rate and how it impacts you when programming? Is it at all an obstacle, at least at first?

Also, can you share more about the resolution?

This timing is superb; I'm this very week considering purchasing a Pro-F (1600x1200) from Dasung, which has faster refresh but lower resolution. Also a few hundred $$ cheaper. Really curious if you think the lower resolution will be a bummer, or if the higher frame rate will be unnecessary.

This is an attenuated live vaccine, though. So the risks are similar or worse than just doing a real, engineered vaccine.

If it's mere paperwork, we can solve that with a regular vaccine just as fast. And the regular vaccine would be more likely to be safe, even at an early stage. (Note: I'm a rando, not a medical or biological professional.)
Ability to invert a binary tree is not what you actually want to measure, but you can't bluff your way through it, so it's an attractive target to measure, especially at a large company trying to have standardized practices. Professional accomplishments is much closer to what you care about, but you can bluff. But it's still possible to give a good subjective interview. Good interviewers will find a area on someone's resume that they have deep knowledge of and drill deep. It takes longer to sniff out a complete fraud than FizzBuzz, but it can still be an effective approach.
Some things are just good as they are, but then designers and developers keep tinkering with it for its own sake. If you've used android you've perhaps noticed that for the last 4 or 5 releases google keeps changing core parts of interface the every, single, time (button navigation, notifications, quick toggles... you name it).

Think of a gradient descent optimizer that after hitting a maximum just... keeps going.
