The best way to tell whether its more about you or the project is to try several comparable ones, some of the biggest and oldest open source projects are practically impenetrable to outside contributors without years or decades of familiarity, this is a problem since the future of such projects is either to be abandoned as their core retires or become entirely dominated by corporations who sponsor the time for people to get on board.
I've had or heard quite a few conversations about patent bounties inside of companies that love patents, and there's a very common rule (that ends up being gamed) that each of the first N contributors gets X dollars, and if more than N authors exist then they all split NX dollars.

Unfortunately such a strategy could also be gamed by a bug bounty. If I split 150% of the bounty between all people who reported the bug within a time interval, I could just tell a buddy who has moved out of town about it and end up with a bit more money between the two of us. Either in exchange for him giving me half his bounty, or by returning the favor later.
The parent commenter only mentioned that it exhausts aerosolized virus particles, not that it produces any. Do they emit/amplify aerosolized virus particles themselves? If so, by what mechanism?

Mostly, because the guy buying them all up to resell at 10x the price is a scumbag just like ticket scalpers, except worse because whether you pay $500 or $200 to get a ticket to a rock concert won't potentially kill you.

The availability is primarily negatively impacted because of hoarders and gougers.
I wonder how many people here change what they say depending on whether it will get them more karma. Karma doesn't even do anything so I'm not sure why people would care.

Yes, indeed

I think we're talking about two different things. I'm talking about whether or not a price gouger provides the service of making some product available on the market, albeit at a higher price. I feel that fact is indisputable and I personally find that valuable. You seem focused on whether or not you consider this action of making something available to me is moral/legal. That's a different question altogether. One which I'm explicitly not commenting on.
I'm curious: since GitHub Pages intended to PUBLISH pages, why to make the repo PRIVATE?
"Hey, @WhiteHouse, while interacting with your systems with the intent to find security flaws and obtain unauthorized access (I wrote scanners and tools and payloads so you know I really wanted to succeed here), I've found a security flaw that allows me to launch nuclear warheads from my garage in Misouri. I will publish this info online if you don't meet my demands. You have less than a month to comply."

Yeah, that kind of bullshit won't fly in any sane criminal justice system.
Now replace "launch nukes" with "download every movie you're working on" or "flash-crashing the stocks market at any time", you'll see that the argument doesn't change: it doesn't fly anywhere.

I can't honestly say I disagree with you. There must be a line between you and work and a question where that line is is a valid question.

As an employer, do you want to have an employee that in a very public manner ( and these days it is oh so easy to be public ) trashes your business? Is that line crossed? I would argue, as usual, that it depends. If the employee's life is threatened by horrific business practices, then talking to the media is almost their civic duty. That said, I do not think they should be surprised they are fired after the fact though..

So where is the line for you?
It is worth noting that the two individuals were engaging in protected labour organizing activity including the Amazon Walk Out for Climate.

I guess AMZN must be feeling like they are vital infrastructure right now and won't get called on this sort of thing. And under the management of the current President the NLRB may not be able to prosecute such cases as vigorously as they have been known to do.

Whether we realize it or not we've been moving towards a neofeudal world where a large employer will effectively be the government and where individual workers will not have meaningful rights in their employment; and this will be as true of software engineers as it is of warehouse workers.
Anyone know how Chuck is doing these days? His site hasn't been updated since 2013, but I did see him in an interview 2 or 3 years ago where he seemed well.
I’d like to add a different take to this. I have contacted Valve support in the past, clearly stated my problem, and got a response that looked like they read half of my question and responded without reading the entire thing. If the same team that responds to their customer support reads this stuff, which seems crazy, they didn’t bother to understand the problem before responding.
Love standup comedy! $10 for a 30m is really expensive. Stanard shows I've gone to were like $15 for ~3 comedians for a show lasting about an hr.

What about lineups? (3 comedians for $10)

Also does the comedians interact with watchers? Can I leave a comment and chat with other people (not sure if this will distract the comedian or not)

Is the labor market free from cartels? If so, then employees can negotiate.

Obviously they won’t get everything they want, but that’s the nature of negotiation.
Nice idea. At the same time, I wonder how this could help me make money. Your claim is buy low, sell high. But how can publicly available futures help me doing that?
They describe such usages in the first sentence of the article. Mt. Sinai researchers are actively working on converting BiPAP machines into ventilators.
Keep in mind that the various lockdown are also greatly decreasing road accidents, or ski, or climbing, or whatever other dangerous activities, so the absence of a bump is not so straight forward.
Literally anyone at Uber, Palantir, or Facebook has got to be on their short list of people to recruit.

As an IndieWeb participant, I find the ActivityPub-verse confusing. Perhaps one of you can help me understand.

At Southern California Linux Expo, I joined a discussion session to learn more about ActivityPub and the Fediverse. What I took away is that the flagship apps supporting ActivityPub are designed to cater to people who want a single app for each type of social media interaction that they have. One app, e.g. Pixelfed, for posting/looking at photos like Instagram. One app, e.g. Mastodon, for posting/looking at text notes or articles like Twitter/blogging. When each of these apps implement ActivityPub, it becomes possible for people to communicate across apps. (Presumably there's one for music listening...)

I understand the drive toward cross-app communication, but I don't understand the "one app per use" way of thinking. Perhaps it's because I rarely use FB and have never used Twitter/Insta/Pinterest. To the extent that I want to broadcast my online social activity at all, I want to do all my posting with one UI, in one place (i.e. in one "app", my CMS) , and I don't care whether someone looks at my stuff by reading my website or subscribing to my feed. I think if someone just wants to see photos, or articles, or "tweets", or whatever, why build a separate app? Why not just filter the incoming content?

Running e.g. a Mastodon instance requires someone to administer the server. Once that's in place, a community can grow up on that server. This seems to mimic more traditional web forums. Is that part of the draw? A central meeting point for your community -- with ActivityPub letting you use your identity in that community while interacting with people from other communities?
Making the calls to the corresponding model from Flask was actually easier on AWS, since they were loaded into memory. Unfortunately, the scaling issues/excessive load times were big enough of an issue that we had to make the switch, as our number of hosted models continues to grow.

the point isn't "do companies have the legal power to do this" the point is "is it right?" if you lack the moral imagination to consider how the world could be if not for current oppressive power structures, or you blame whistleblowers because "they should have known there'd be consequences," then you're what some like to call "a bootlicker"

Without getting into all of the hazards about legislating morality it's impractical in our current climate. I don't think this should be illegal, personally.

I do think that it would be helpful to make the decision making public though. Limited legal liability isn't limited moral liability. Rather than saying "amazon fired" someone they should tell us "Jane Doe a manager at Amazon made the decision to fire."

People shouldn't hide behind the company logo when they do shitty things to other people. And if you want to rationalize it, cool, do it with your name attached so your pastor, spouse, friends, and kids know the things you'll do for a paycheck and you can justify it all you want to your community.
When I signed up for the Student Dev Pack originally in HS, the school district's evil IT department blocked mail from outside domains for whatever reason, so I sent GitHub a picture of my schedule (which had the name of the school and my name on it), and they accepted it. If you have evidence of being a home schooler (I believe there's some paperwork you have to file with the government?), they'll probably take it too.

And for the classroom system, it's open-source (https://classroom.github.com/) and you can run it on a box at home. That'd work given you probably only have a couple users at any one time.
can I downgrade to free now without losing anything? (data, private repos, etc.)
I assume a CPAP could only ever be hacked into being some form of non-invasive ventilator, not the kind where you are intubated. But I may be 100% wrong.

In any case, a standard Resmed CPAP like the one in the article has a humidifier built in, and if you buy the optional heated hose, it can heat the air too. The tank is kinda small on the humidifier, so you'd have to refill it pretty often. Probably want to hack it into having a lot more volume, if you need the humidity.
> We don't know how it would have been without lockdown.

Sure we do. It's not hard to see the curves flattening once mitigation efforts go into place, and slow-to-react countries having a harder time of it. https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

It also stands to reason that a respiratory virus would be affected by a country going on lockdown, given the mechanism.
Amazon recruiters are extremely spotty: they seem to be winging it most of the time and some aren't very good at listening to candidates (you are looking for a job in compilers? Hey, join the Alexa team!). Amazon is also known as the more questionable FAANG in terms of employee treatment, but then again I know many Amazonians that say they are actually treated very well.

There isn't a shortage of tech talent looking to work at Amazon.
We use it a lot at Twitter, though it's a fairly recent addition to the stack.
Once the insurance has finished paying for it (eight months in my case), you can disable the radio.

Some doctors (mine included) prefer getting your data off the memory card when you visit the office, rather than downloading it from the internet anyway.

The radio has to be optional for people whose beds are in places with unreliable or no cellular service (high up in buildings, in basements, fringe areas, etc...)
I get why unspecified means that and it’s good to know what the limit is for applying an optimisation, but I was asking about why the specific comparison of “one past the end” with the beginning of another being unspecified would be useful. It’s cool you can optimise it out, but what does a compiler gain from being able to do that?

Imagine a standard stated that > and < character comparisons involving '%' were unspecified. Why would this be good? It wouldn’t, so it’s not in any standard. But specifically it wouldn’t because (a) nobody writes ch < '%', and (b) if they did, compilers couldn’t make programs any faster, more portable, etc, because of its inclusion.

I guessed above that this is kinda like having hashmaps iterate in a random order: compilers do spooky things when you try to check whether two allocas/mallocs are adjacent, so don’t do it. Is that accurate? Or does it mean that compilers can move things around on the stack if they want, without worrying about updating the registers or locations that store the pointers, i.e. this is mainly to make compilers easier to write? If it’s that, I imagine I would want some other pointer comparisons on the list. The reason it’s in there is what I wanted you to shed some light on.
This post has some thoughts on ksonnet compared to Pulumi (and generally applies to comparison with the variety of other similar tools in that space): https://www.pulumi.com/blog/if-you-liked-ksonnet-youll-love-...
Eh, maybe Colin Powell beats Gore for reelection or wins in 2008.
But is it really a plurality? Portuguese, English, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, French, Indonesian and German are stored more efficiently in UTF-8 while Chinese, Korean and Japanese are stored less effeciently. My gut feel is that more people use the Latin script than people using CJK scripts. Indic scripts, Thai, Cyrillic, etc are stored using two bytes in both UTF-8 AND UTF-16.

And thus ignores markup which is in ascii.

There are no constitutionally protected rights to disparage, or even just talk negatively about, anyone you want. The constitution has nothing to do with this case at all.
I can't speak to Terraform because I haven't used it, but I'm skeptical that modules are sufficient for many of the same reasons that CloudFormation templates are insufficient. I think at some level you need the ability to programmatically generate arbitrary static configuration, and you end up needing something very like a real programming language to do that.

If you need something very like a real programming language, you should just use a real programming language instead of a tool that accidentally reinvents programming language concepts and the corresponding unnecessary learning curve that that implies for developers. I think the reason these tools are surviving in the "marketplace" is because they market is inexperienced and they conflate "generating static configs (to be passed into a tool that can apply the configs) with an imperative language" with "imperative provisioning of infrastructure". The market sees static/declarative solutions like Terraform and CloudFormation as the only alternatives to "imperative provisioning of infrastructure".

I think as our industry gets more experience and tools for generating YAML/static-configs improve, it will be clear that these are the ways forward.
My commute is definitely a big part of why I strongly prefer to work from home. Every workday I'd waste 7am - 9am and 6pm - 7pm in transit or getting ready (putting on a suit, shining my shoes, packing lunch, packing/wearing rain shoes so my dress shoe soles don't get ruined, getting the kids ready for daycare etc.). It feels like I have an extra 3 hours in my day.

The commute was also mentally and emotionally exhausting: making sure I caught the subway on time, cramming into a packed train so I wouldn't miss it and have to wait another 20 minutes, listening to make sure the train didn't suddenly go express and skip my stop, being alert for people that pickpocket you or might get confrontational...

I don't miss the social aspect of work at all, but that might be more specific to my workplace (an investment bank). The people are nice enough, but there's little socializing and coworkers are often out traveling. I spent most of the time on the phone with people in other states anyway, even before this crisis. I think I've actually been more productive.

That said, working remotely has been a difficult adjustment. I am working a lot - basically nonstop 8am to 8pm, with a few very late nights recently - and haven't found a way to disconnect in the evenings yet. My wife and I are very anxious, but it's tough to disentangle the WFH experience with the anxiety we feel about family and friends getting sick, the heightened risk of being laid off, our upset clients dealing with shuttering their businesses, the dire headlines, and the broader uncertainty of how society will emerge from this crisis.
It’s gotten into the old folks homes just as in Spain.

As far as I know, Sweden didn't do much lockdown and is in normal range too. (At least so far). If it stays this way: If it would have been really that massive without measure, shouldn't Sweden be a huge outlier?

There are some sats left on that wallet, help yourself.

HD wallets can be loaded as Electrum or BIP39 mnemonic seed phrases as well as extend public and private keys.

Single addresses can be loaded using the Electrum address-type:wif format.

The Docker container automatically creates an Electrum wallet file importing your seed/key, then starts the text based interface for Electrum.

Once you quit the process everything is destroyed. It's all isolated to the container, nothing is persisted to disk.

It's pretty handy for just quickly checking the state of a wallet/address or monitoring test wallets while developing.

Hopefully some people find it useful.
I don't think anyone is saying China purposely bioweaponed the planet. Accidental lack of containment is almost certainly what happened.
If I watch hockey on an SD channel vs. the HD equivalent channel it isn't a different recording, but it is very clearly worse than HD.

Of course it is, we collectively didn't spend the money on moving to HD because it's the healthy thing to do. Arguing that HD isn't superior to SD would be silly. Good thing that wasn't what I was saying.

What I am saying is that if you were to go watch an old episode of Taxi on CBS All Access, it did not look as bad when it originally aired on a CRT as it does on CBS's rip from whatever source they used.

This pattern (newtyping) is a huge weakness of Java in general, and even more so older Java, and people who like newtyping are not going to like java.

Because creating newtypes in Java is

1. verbose, defining a trivial wrapper takes half a dozen lines before you've even done anything

2. slow, because you're paying for the overhead of an extra allocation and pointer indirection every time, unless you jump through unreadable hoops making for even more verbose newtypes[0]

It is a much more convenient (and thus frequent) pattern in languages like Haskell. Or Rust.

Nope.

Already worked from home.

Didn't really go out in public much before the pandemic, other than a biweekly grocery run.

I can make a better meal, spiced to my particular tastes better than any restaurant. I have enough books, movies, and games at home to fill a lifetime with entertainment (not even counting the internet). Friends have been scattered to the wind for decades -- phone calls and messaging are sufficient.

The wilderness is still open, so my solo backcountry hiking has remained unchanged...

If anything, I've been taken by surprise to find that people find going into public a necessity for their mental health instead of a detriment.
But it's only easier to comprehend because it's vaguer. If you wanted to express specific, nontrivial mathematical statements in CA language, it would immediately get more complicated. Certainly, a paragraph about Euclid's Elements would be easier to comprehend than a paragraph from the Elements, but that's not a fair comparison...
The way it includes unnecessary and imprecise technobabble, and states something obvious as if the author assumes the people who were fired are too stupid to have considered it makes it patronizing and unhelpful.

Do you really think people are going to read that comment and come away with useful advice?
I think the surprise here comes from being fired for expressing an opinion that the tech community generally supports. When Damore did it, the community generally was against him, so firing him was celebrated. The lesson here is that these kinds of policies cut both ways.
But that’s just the thing, and why scrolljacking is so bad—I’m on a platform with excellent horizontal scrolling facilities, and it’s ruining that. Based on my experience in this space, but not their code which I haven’t seen, I guess that this will affect at least all Windows users with precise touchpad scrolling. From my perspective, it’s a terrible trade-off. User agents need to handle this better, urgently.
Not to engage in ageism, but speaking from the benefit of having the benefit of being younger, and older, I can say that when I was younger, I was blissfully unaware of the huge list of things that would result in a person's employment ending, that I thought was absolutely reasonable for one to do. And maybe it was reasonable for one to do. But it also ended one's employment. I think the GP was mostly just trying to surface one of the laws of reality - you shit talk your employer - you will likely no longer be employed. And unless you were reporting some illegal activity, (in which case whistle blower laws may afford some level of protection, check with your lawyer first though) - there isn't much you can do about it. Just kind of a law of nature.
