guess that could make sense in a way. Dump all 'state' to disk, start new exe that begins by reading that state, and go from there.
I am a little confused, am I reading this correctly?

- the smells are coming from streptomyces

- springtails are attracted to the smells

- springtails feed on the streptomyces

therefore the conclusion is not that bacteria are attracting invertebrates with the smell, but rather the invertebrates evolved to smell something they feed on?

Did I read this wrong?
Jarrett Heather is the artist behind Weird Al's "Word Crimes" video released in 2014 (at 48.4 million views now).

Word Crimes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

"Word Crimes" is Weird Al's spot-on parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" with T.I. and Pharrell Williams. I think Weird Al's version is better and more educational than the original -- smart and catchy like a modern Schoolhouse Rock.

Weird Al contacted Jarrett Heather after being impressed by "Shop Vac", his previous work with kinetic text (typographic animation), which he made using animation tools like AfterEffects.

This page on Jarrett Heather's web site tells the story and shows the art and technology behind the "Word Crimes" video. He's also published the Animatic storyboard-in-motion that took about 100 hours, to Weird Al's original home-made demo of the song! It's fascinating to compare them, and see how their ideas evolved from storyboard to final video.

>The Completed Music Video: In November 2013, "Weird Al" Yankovic asked me to direct an animated video for "Word Crimes", a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" about the supposed abuse of proper language.

>The result of 500 hours of work in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere goes by in 3 minutes, 44 seconds. I hope you find each one of them entertaining.

The Animatic: https://vimeo.com/102959171

>This storyboard-in-motion took about 100 hours. Al signed off on this design on January 25th, 2014, only 3 weeks after he gave me his homemade "demo" for Word Crimes, which you can hear on the animatic soundtrack.

>If you watch very closely, you might notice a gag or two that didn't make it through to final animation or some very subtle changes in the lyrics.

Jarrett originally designed the Live Journal logo back in 2000 or so, and parodied it in the video, with a broken pencil tip.

Here's a great "Local Boy Makes Good" article and TV interview about Jarrett Heather from around the time the video came out, that was previously posted to HN -- I love his down-to-earth advice:

Yes but now think of all that discretionary income you now have for something else. All that money that would have been spent on sports, concerts, etc.

Overall bad for economy yes, but some people may gain providing other outlets for that money.

Plus higher discretionary income renters will have if rents dip.

This sticks out to me:

> We also had issues in some regions, such as China, where Google's services are intermittently blocked. China alone accounts for 25 percent of all Internet users. Given that some subset of those could not access Cloudflare's customers if they triggered a CAPTCHA was always concerning to us.

They are explicitly saying that China's blackmailing of Google is working so well it even affects decisions on using Google products outside of China.

I'm not a Google fan and think this move is a great improvement for the web and user privacy, but that this was explicitly motivated by China's blackmailing tactics is terrifying.

And we can from this post even make another case that also doesn't paint a nice picture: Cloudflare does not care enough about 25% of internet users to move away from reCAPTCHA - until it affects their bottom line in a visible and immediate way.
This standard way doesn't work in corp environments (which WebEx and Zoom are targeting primarily), where machines are remotely provisioned. For decent macOS remote installs and updates you need the PKG format scripts.

One clever trick is to return fake data if you detect a smart ass is trying to access data he shouldn't, rather then tell him he is forbidden. Let him enjoy his fake data. :)

That sounds like a lot of effort for something that should never happen if your real security systems are working, and a huge problem if something breaks and returns fake data to real users. It would look like their accounts have been compromised which is far worse for the business than any amount of enjoyment you might get messing with an attacker. Honeypots are useful in some very specific situations, but you need to be really careful where and how you implement them. Generally, leave them to the network security team.

In my experience anything you do that tries to be 'clever' is a bad idea. Implement the simplest possible solution that solves the problem, otherwise it's going to blow up in your face one day.
This only illustrates the point that centralizing server infrastructure and operations in one jurisdiction can quickly backfire.
Google Wave failed as a product, but as a technology it was successfully absorbed into the Google Docs suite with Docs, Sheets and Slides having real time editing capabilities.
Particularly the "Building Secure and Reliable Systems" is targeted to software engineers. Copy/paste from the preface: "Because security and reliability are everyone’s responsibility, we’re targeting a broad audience: people who design, implement, and maintain systems. We’re challenging the dividing lines between the traditional professional roles of developers, architects, SREs, systems administrators, and security engineers. While we’ll dive deeply into some subjects that might be more relevant to experienced engineers, we invite you—the reader — to try on different hats as you move through the chapters, imagining yourself in roles you (currently) don’t have and thinking about how you could improve your systems."

Gathering information is the recruitment process. It's just used to filter the good candidates out of bad candidates. The process is further used to get a valuation of what each candidate is willing or desiring to be paid and this is the main reason recruiters will always be working. I'm still being spammed as well and where the recruitment process is part of the spam. I work in academia which I enjoy and I'm not looking to leave my job but I do think the actual hiring will slow somewhat down. Too early to predict how much in all areas of engineering but I assume in a few months we will see.
This does sound like the app doesn't register photos correctly in the MediaStore. Or perhaps the phone didn't start the maintenance window to start the uploads - Android (like iOS) doesn't continiously scan filesystems since that would destroy the battery.
It's actually "at most 50% on toil". But of course it's also hard to measure exactly. It's more of a barrier that if we exceed it, the team probably needs serious help!

Ultimately, Google engineers can move between teams pretty freely, so if we allow a team to descend into an operational or a deadline-induced death march, and we don't address that quickly, chances are the engineers will move to another team. It's sometimes frustrating not to have more control as a manager, but it's a very nicely self correcting mechanism and fixes various incentives for us managers.

I'd really love to see more pictures of the saloon with it's bullet holes and bloodstains (according to the linked article in the AmA). I don't know why, but I have a passion for "Lost places" - especially if these places tell stories.

Some years ago, I regularly drove the A7 in Germany (large Autobahn), and while passing Hamburg, I always noticed the top of a church in what seemed to be an industrial area. After a while, I decided to leave the Autobahn, and drive to this place.

It belonged to a village called "Altenwerder"[0], which got turned into a quarter in 1960, when plans were made to enlarge the harbour. People got relocated in the 70s & 80s, and the last people left in 1998.

However, the church is still in service. And if you walk around the area, you can still see traces of gateways, smaller roadways and so on. [1]

The cemetery isn't used any more, but has one pretty impressive gravestone. [2]

It is unclear whether these patients are shedding viral RNA particles from their prior infection or actual infectious virus from an ongoing infection. The way to tell the difference would be to perform viral cultures instead of the PCR-based test.
Not sure I agree there. The language progresses with features that OP himself says he likes, and he also says that they DO maintain backwards compatibility, what more to ask for?

The author would be better or revisiting their code on a more relaxed cycle, for example every 18 weeks. Or whatever works for them, or just let go of the need to be using 100% of the latest best practices.
I recently had a thought, that language team should provide automated migration tools for such things. It woukd made python 2 to python 3 switch much easier and faster, that applies to rust even more.
I think that's technically incorrect. The BND (and it's military sibling MAD) are mostly concerned with foreign intelligence, while the Stasi was mostly used for internal surveillance. The subdivision HVA inside the Stasi would be the equivalent to the BND, while the larger and infamous internal surveillance of the Stasi is now in the responsibility of the Verfassungsschutz.
> it possible that [...] pop music today has more profanity?

Given that the chart starts in 2001, after the release of multi-platinum albums like Eminem's Slim Shady LP (1999) and NWA's Straight Outta Compton (1988) I would say that is more a question of boundaries between genres than a coarsening of language in the music 16 year olds are listening to.

Central and easter Europe is also lacking in total number of performed tests. You also have to take into account that there were more severe shutdown policies introduced. Since there is significantly less international travel in the east than in the west it was possible to isolate before covid hit with full might. Assessing the R0 depends a lot on the environment and countermeasures used.

Does using cloudflare counts in as well?
I've been using cloudflare for some time now, because I've wanted to save some of my static website bandwidth & it offered https setup pretty easily.
I've setup google analytics just to compare visitor statistics and this is what I've found over 1 month:

GA unique visitors: ~350
Cloudflare unique visitors: ~2900

So the difference is pretty overwhelming - I assume that cloudflare count some bot traffic as well or something?

Is it even a reliable source of stats (cloudflare)? If not, why?
Brazil is not testing enough, test results are being delayed 2-3 weeks. My sister works for one of the largest laboratories there (100+ labs across different states) and they are overwhelmed by supply shortages.

Current stats show 258 tests performed per 1 million inhabitants, compared to Germany's 15,730 per 1m pop. Brazil is testing almost the same as Togo (and 10x less than Iran) while having a bit over 60% of US's population.
That’s what life is. There are no happy endings or do overs. It is only the raw truth of your circumstances. You can either look at that truth head on, or avert your eyes.

Great product! I was part of a team that wanted to rapidly test different marketing approaches using data in Salesforce etc. My colleagues were mostly non-technical so I had them try out Zapier and they loved it! I can see how Paragon can be useful to them.

Quick question - are you using some kind of UI library to power the graphical builder? I recall coming across a JS library in the past that looked very similar but I can't remember what it was called.
> Google can go ask Microsoft how it does make OEMs play by the rules

OEMs of what? All the custom forks of windows floating around? The mobile device market doesn't work anything like the deskop market, and you know that.

Unless you're suggesting that the drivers for the networked, LED-light-toting hyper-gaming mouse you can get from Razer is more secure than OEM Android, because that's the closest things I can come up with, and it's laughable.

We're well off track though, the original question was if there was a more secure (implied consumer) os. You mentioned two non consumer OSs, so I think it's safe to say that the answer is no.
> That's slightly horrific.

I'd argue that the contemporary infatuation with mastery of complex toolchains as being the only possible solution to modern technical problems is far more horrific.

Smart businesses focus on simple, effective solutions and avoid hiring engineers who obsess with rewriting everything using the latest over-hyped technology.
I used to dislike the "field-like access" syntax because I was used to "await" being a prefix in other languages, but using await many times in longer function call chains with multiple await calls has totally changed my mind. No need for nested parentheses. No need for splitting up the code just to make it more readable.

Syntax is something very emotional and beauty is very subjective. Thanks to the Rust team, the discussion around await syntax was mostly focussed on rational arguments, not around perceived beauty. The outcome is great in my opinion.

This came up since the beginning in January. The number of people that were reported to reinfect like this seem to lie well within the expected rate of false positives. I don’t understand how this claim is made repeatedly, without a thorough statistical analysis of what is expected.
I wouldn't read too much into this yet. Coronavirus tests are notoriously flaky and Korea has thousands of recovered people, so it's entirely possible that people either get false negatives twice (so they appear cured but aren't), or get true negatives followed by a false positive later (so they appear sick but aren't).

If there are patients who test negative for several weeks but then relapse and get clinically sick with COVID-19, we'll have cause to worry. On the other hand, if this was a common phenomenon, it'd be happening in China already.
Most likely. You need to develop antibodies to defeat a viral infection and, once you do, they don't just disappear overnight.
Or were one or both tests a false positive?
I graduated in 2002. It was devastating to my life and set my career back about a decade. Because I am from Appalachia, that only compounded the problem.

It took me 2 years to find a 'real' job as tech support with a starting salary of 28k/year. It wasnt until 5 years after graduation did I find a job I was really happy with as a DBA at a University making 40k/year.

I was still stuck, because here you have this east coaster from a no name university and their career hasn't grown much, not worth a phone screen. Things didn't really change for me until I got my masters at an Ivy league.

I was finally worth of a phone screen and risk flying to the west coast for an on-site. After that I have done really well as a data scientist for a top 5 tech, but it was not easy.

Given that I graduated in 2002, if someone finds out that I am not making TC 400k and worth millions, something must be really wrong with me.

If I made 100k out of college like many in tech do now, I would have been retired by now. At this rate, it will be about 15 years before I can retire - thats how far graduating during the wrong time set me back.

Will better days be ahead? yes. Did people graduating now end up winning a really shitty lottery? oh god yes, though probably not as bad as 2002.
How to Learn Speed Reading
It's cool to see how big organizations have deployment setups, while it feels like there is not enough resources about how one should setup a deployment system for a new startup just in the beginning.

The setup I currently use is custom bash scripts setting up EC2 instances. Each instance installs a copy of the git repo(s), and runs a script to pull updates from production/staging branches, compiles a new build, replaces the binaries & frontend assets, then restarts the service, and sends a slack message with list of changes just deployed.

It works good enough for a startup with 2 engineers. However, I'd like to know what could be better ? What could save my time from maintaining my own deployment system in AWS world, without investing days of resources to K8s?
Has anyone tried Mumble for this? It's very low latency but I can't find exactly how low the latency is. It ofcourse depends also on your internet connection and other settings but the base latency that comes from buffering the sound before sending. Mumble also has lots of settings for sound quality and different sound formats so might work for music if you try all the settings.
Nothing necessary about it - those people (also all people) would be presented with a screen upon installation asking for their preferred discoverability policy - do they want to be contactable by: everyone in their phone contacts, only specific people from their contacts, only people they approve ad-hoc.
A friend of mine fell ill with COVID-like symptoms; bad enough to be unable to work remotely, but not bad enough to go to the hospital and be tested (in the UK). He was sick for 5-6 days, then felt better, and thought he'd completely recovered. One week later, his symptoms returned for 2 days, and now he's feeling better again.

Was it COVID the first time? Was it COVID the second time? Was it stress, or his body adjusting to being in the same environment 24/7 (rather than spending half his day outside the home)? We may never know. An antibody test would show if he'd had it at least once, but that could well have been 2 back-to-back colds with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2.
Linear switches are basically already silent compared to tactile or clicky switches. If Cherry starts making quiet blues or clears I'll start getting excited.

Honestly the biggest source of noise for basically all mechanical keys except buckling spring or cherry-blue style keys is the noise of the keycap or key stem hitting the bottom and subsequently the top of travel. Half of that is fixable with o-rings but that still leaves the noise at the top of travel which doesn't currently have any solutions as far as I know.

It's worth noting that blog post covers only one-way MTA-STS, announcing STS policy to other SMTP peers, protecting only inbound mail from MTA-STS enabled servers.

In order to ensure strict transport security on sender side (for mail outbound from server), one have add support for MTA-STS to mail server itself.

I'm developer of such solution for Postfix mail server: https://github.com/Snawoot/postfix-mta-sts-resolver

It's an external policy server for Postfix which retrieves, validates, caches and prefetches STS policies for target mail domains. postfix-mta-sts-resolver package is already available in Debian repos and I guess it'll be included in upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. If I recall correctly there are also FreeBSD port, docker images and AUR package for Arch Linux.

While in theory you are right, there is a distinction.

GDPR makes business more difficult, but it codifies a human right to privacy that, much like worker safety, should have been implemented anyway.

The present regulation does the opposite. It ultimately implies that any company that does not comply with the insane US post 9/11 laws on large scale spying, extrajudicial sanctioning and, arguably, racial and ethnic discrimination, will be sued into the ground.

Scary especially for non US citizens, who are not in practice afforded judicatory or constitutional rights in the US
I might be wrong but for C++ for example every C++ fan seems to happy about every new release (at least happy with new features, not lack of desired new features).

Same for Java, IIRC the only controversial decision they made was the introduction of modules.

Python 3 was a mistake, but generally Python users are happy with Python changes.

10% is not impossible. Even if this decision is ”right”, communication could be better: more options to play with different syntaxes, more time to get used to new syntax before stabilizing are just two possible ways to deal with the angry mob.

Is it not the case though that R0 is dependent on all sorts of factors, including social distancing?

So if we keep some social distancing, presumably we can reach the equivalent “herd immunity” with far far fewer people infected, such that society can operate in a reduced capacity until a vaccine arrives.
