I really wanted a phone with a current top level camera, and a reasonably quick cpu as in a modern iPhone or Android. I consider the iphone7/8 to be almost too big for one handed use, but it's it's worth it as a tradeoff for the improved readability. The problems with the iphone7/8 size is mostly poor legacy UX (Nothing should have to be clicked in basic, navigation above the middle of the screen!).

I basically had to upgrade from iPhone7 to iPhone11 to get a good camera in an iPhone. The 11 is a phone that is both much larger and much more expensive than I would like. So if the camera on this is as good as the main iPhone 11 camera, I would definnitely have gone for this one instead, had it been available 6 months ago.

This is apple cannibalizing their own iPhone11 sales, a lot I think
Relax: Other people have much worse "really terrible problems" than having their feelings hurt because they mis-interpreted a female game designer describing her proudest achievement as implying that you're misogynistic because you're a male gamer.

Was Gamergate news to you, or not?

It sounds like you don't know anything about it (which is perfectly fine if you've been living in a cave for the past six years), or you're in denial that it happened and what its consequences were.

The obvious answer to "Why is it a given that there will be such a misogynistic view?" is "Gamergate".

It's not about your pain and anguish from being implicitly painted as a misogynist because you're male gamer.

It's about your own words, not your gender or pastime.

It's about the women who have been attacked and their careers destroyed, or their proudest achievements belittled by jerks on the internet saying things like "In some ways it is potentially a bit of a sad thing to be proud of."

I'll admit it was kind of you to graciously hedge your attack with "potentially a bit", magnanimously allowing her the remote possibility of actually being proud of her achievement in a non-sad way. But to socially distance yourself from the responsibility of your own words, you should have thrown in a "some people say" or "a lot of people are saying" to give it more corn pone authenticity, to make it clear you're belittling her sense of pride in her greatest achievement on someone else's behalf, not on your own accord.

You should familiarize yourself with the concept of your own "male fragility".

I assume this is in the US or UK?
I know in the UK, "made redundant" is used instead of "laid-off".

Yes, though most Brits would pragmatically accept the term "laid-off" as covering redundancy, though formally a "lay-off" is the same as furloughing in the UK (i.e. not permanent).
Quick comparison:

1) Redash and Falcon focus on people that want to do visualizations on top of SQL

2) Superset, Tableau and PowerBI focus on people that want to do visualizations with a UI

3) Metabase and SeekTable focus on people that want to do quick analysis (they are the closest to an Excel replacement)

I have been using group 2) for 3 something years, I am not too excited by them, Superset is cool, Tableau and PowerBI value has been blown out of proportion by marketing. Group 3) is very promising but for some reason more niche although because of their pricing structure they scale as well as Excel (i.e. you can have thousands of users building stuff in Metabase no problem). Group 1) not sure what to say there, I guess it would be my favorite but SQL becomes messy after the first join.

The reality check is that none of those tools stands on its own. Without a database, data prep and security setup they are more or less fancy toys. Unfortunately very few companies understand how to set all of this up in a way that users can actually work with it. So I keep seeing a lot of half done, super expensive, setups in Tableau and PowerBI that have not delivered what they were promising.

Also, I agree with chriddyp that most companies would rather own their analytics for stuff that is customer facing. For internal facing dashboards the dashboarding BI tools are OK (although I lean more on group 3) than group 2)).

You clearly haven't got the first clue about how Americans live.
In 90% of America, you need a car. It's not debatable.
This is a country that has spent the last 70 years spreading out on cheap land. Any place outside densely populated, carefully planned coastal areas doesn't have the density to make transit either affordable or reliable. Look at the city centres of places like St Louis or Atlanta; they're essentially glossy towers surrounded by highways - NOBODY lives where they work. Nobody. And they can't because American planners have ever heard the term 'mixed use' when it comes to zoning. It's a disgusting hellhole of urban planning; just a stinking, rotten cesspool of stupid.
Having not worked in USA, I always wonder how valid such comments are.

Never really felt such thing being anything but odd ball case in Europe.
I am. Passive leadership and complete lack of feedback, I wanted to quit for some time.

Now: WFH with little to zero communication.
M. Á. Oxlaj Kumez: I have no sympathy for you. You play the victim and complain ceaselessly to foreign journalists. Be the change you want to see in the world!

Let's imagine a different universe where the interviewee can proudly recount his achievements:

• Added a megabyte of Kaqchikel text content on the Web.

• Contributed a 1st party Kaqchikel keyboard layout to Xkb and a 3rd party layout to Android and Windows.

• Published a free to use Kaqchikel dictionary and spell checker.

• Worked with the Linux user groups in the four biggest cities to add a Kaqchikel locale pack to KDE, and spin a variant of an existing popular distro that comes with Kaqchikel out of the box.

• Distributed ten thousand kits to convert Mesoamerican Spanish keyboards into Kaqchikel.

• Found like-minded individuals and raised funds and coordinated efforts through the Kaqchikel resource centre at the university in Guatemala City.

• Lobbied the government to give indigenous languages equal status under the law.

None of this is particularly technically challenging: Kaqchikel is written in Latin.
> I read it as: You can think for a reason to do X but doing Y is strictly better, so your reason is invalid.

I think that's a much more strongly-negative interpretation than the text as written calls for. My original post was nothing of the sort, and the reply I think you're referring to was -- to me -- a nudge toward just simply realizing that the standard tools that already exist are often much more powerful than we think, and we can usually get 90+% of the way there without doing something custom. And the 10% remaining isn't usually worth doing something non-standard unless you have a very niche use.
If it's a two-way conversation, I think it's fairly lopsided. The reason is: competition. When consumers only have one choice or a few, sure, that company can exercise a lot of power in dictating what people read, and thereby influence what they want (by limiting what's possible for them to experience and be aware of).

However, there are countless competing sources of entertainment and news online. If any particular organization gets away from giving consumers what they want, and instead becomes overly wrapped up in trying to tell consumers what they should want, they'll get eaten by the competition.

The result is a web in which billions of people flock to whatever "channel" has the message that resonates best. Meanwhile the people running these organizations are doing their best to figure out what will resonate, so they can survive and thrive. If a story gets clicks and shares, repeat. If it doesn't, stop writing things like that. Survival of the fittest.

There are some mitigating factors ofc. For example, a lot of smaller media orgs will simply copy what the bigger ones are doing, which gives the bigger ones a lot of influence. Also, there's momentum. Once you have a loyal audience, there's friction for them to switch to reading a different source, so you get more leeway.

But all things told, I think reader demand drives most of the content we see.

yes I was also thinking about how hot the containers could get, especially in the upcoming summer months.
They could be useful though if it's really possible to just load them on the back of a truck/boat and move them. This way they could be shared between cities/states/countries as the location of the peak moves.
They also usually add some gas to the bottles, if I remember correctly, which does affect the taste. Not necessarily for the worse, but it is noticeable. It's pretty obvious in Hobgoblin, but I still like the bottle flavour and it even survives being in a car boot in a French summer.

I imagine the only reason not to do bottles is because they're liable to being turned into projectiles, but I guess you could just serve it in one of those crap plastic glasses like they would from a cask anyway.
>But I think you'll agree that it'd be ridiculous to shovel money to families making $200K+ a year.

I wouldn't; reality is more nuanced and circumstantial than your blanket generalization would like it to be. While it's true that in many places $200k is a substantial amount of money, there are places (California, for instance, particularly the Bay Area) where the cost of living is high enough that a couple earning $200k may still be living paycheck to paycheck and $2900 doesn't even cover rent. The loss of even one income in that household could be devastating.

>And the check is not conditioned on whether you're still employed (which most people are).

I alluded to that condition by my use of the phrase, "If they're unemployed".

>TL;DR: a lot of people who are still working are getting what to them is a substantial amount of money. They'll be spending it.

While I am sure that many people will spend it in ways that are more recreational than others, I am not so sure that as many people will be doing that as you assume. Jobless claims are expected to reach a whopping 15% soon[1], many people still employed are finding themselves working reduced hours resulting in reduced pay[2], and hiring is down[2]. The current data available is from March, which means we're likely to see data for April reporting even fewer hours worked - which means a continued decrease in take-home pay for many people still working - and even fewer jobs hiring.

The reality is that there is a lot of uncertainty right now. Many people still working are probably on the edge of their seat about their company's long-term prospects - sure they can make it for now, but how does a shutdown that could go on for many more months allow their workplace to continue to sustain itself? It's foolish to assume that the employment numbers we are seeing now have leveled off and won't continue to rise, especially if this continues through summer. More businesses will close or cut back on hours and more people will be out of work.

That thought process is likely playing out across the country in many homes, so I would expect more people to pocket the money and use it wisely than to sign up for new subscriptions that they don't need than you would think.

Yes, reading the docs explains what these keywords mean. But by just looking at the schema it is impossible to understand what that is. And if you check the definition of clean code which is something like "intuitive understandable" then it comes clear that this is not clean.
> ale is 24% by value of beer sold, and cask is 55% of ale, so cask ale is just 13.2% of all beer:

Interesting that they separate out stouts into their own category at 7%. I guess maybe because Guinness dominates stout and that's not a cask ale. I'd have counted it as part of "ale", myself...

> Honestly, i find bottled beers usually better than the cask equivalent,

Aww no, couldn't disagree more. Cask beer is fresh, bottled beer not so much. Even in a bottle, the fragrant, lighter hoppy aromas disappear pretty quickly, so there are whole dimensions missing from the product...

IMHO of course, your preference is yours and not wrong.
> (and frankly, sheer outrage)

I think you're reading way too much into what I and others are saying. Honestly I'm finding being misunderstood and mis-characterized as angry to be the only thing that's bothering me.
They are the technical person on the sales team. They do demo's, field technical questions, might do a POC with a potential customer, so on. They also get a commission but they traditionally have a standard salary as well instead of the sales rep where their salary might be 60% or more commission only.

I suspect many will not bother with consulting periods given the circumstances. It opens them to possible tribunal action, but rulings and penalties are usually mild, tribunals take ages to go through, and very few people bother or even know that you have to start the process within 3 months.

(If morbidly curious, you can keep an eye on tribunal outcomes at https://www.gov.uk/employment-tribunal-decisions .. I just checked this month's unfair dismissal outcomes and not a single one was in the complainant's favour, though some may have been withdrawn due to negotiating an offer.)
Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. A good training exercise I can think of is to build complex Lego models according to the instructions. It's how I spend lots of my time in my early childhood, before I was allowed to play video games and watch TV. By touching the pieces and rotating them yourself you get good image training of how shapes look when you rotate them. Building things in a 3D space based on drawn instructions from only a single point of view should also help to build mental images.
Spinning up and down a CRT reduced its life-span, I wager.
It's like modern fighter jets which are designed to be unstable so they are more manoeuvrable, aided by the computer controls to stop that instability being dangerous. If the computer systems fail, the pilot will not cope and the jet will crash and burn.

The JS community is unstable, but in a way that produces useful things rapidly. Stuff just gets thrown out there and the good parts stick. Certain dampening factors protect you from the most dangerous effects of this (unless you live your life at the bleeding edge) like the jet's computer controlled micro-interventions protecting the pilot form how jittery the airframe actually is. Occasionally this goes wrong and the protection fails. "Leftpad" was one such matter that caused thing to crash and burn temporarily. Luckily unlike an expensive jet hitting the ground, the damage from such incidents is relatively easy to repair after the fact.

The throw-it-out-and-see-if-it-works part isn't the only issue with the JS community but it is a significant one and does relate to some of the others, though one that does provide some benefit in the form of forward momentum.
Do you have an idea if they chose to quit because they expect finding new jobs is easy right now, or any other aspect?

I don't think it's fair to victims of abusive relationships for you to use this analogy: the truth is far darker and more complex, and survivors deserve more credit than you're giving them. I could give you my story as an example in case you haven't ever been exposed to this kind of abuse, but maybe it is enough for me to say we should all think twice before using such an extreme and unique scenario in our arguments.
The Different Stages of a Moderation Operation
I've been using OLED for a long time now, and never had this OLED burn in - including one particular phone (Ativ S, so Samsung S3 screen) that was in use by me for years and then used as a navigation system by my mother until the battery perished. However, someone I know had a phone (I believe the Samsung S8) nearly constantly playing videos with full brightness, and there it did show red streaks over the screen. I wonder what kind of usage triggers it.
It will be interesting to track the frequency of Google walkouts while the economy has tanked, hiring has slowed to a crawl, and layoffs could be in the future.
It's not all bad. We've just wrapped up our first two completely remote hires. A full time project manager and a part time HR assistant. It's been an interesting experience for a small-but-growing (30ppl) company, especially because we had a very strong focus on physical presence before.

Remote interviews were an interesting challenge. Remote paperwork went somewhat smoother than expected. Introducing the new hires to the rest of the team is something we need to get better at.
The only "proof" is some random screenshot from IM chat groups. I think journalist can write a headline like "Chat screenshot shows China tightens gaming ban" but it will be less clickbaity.
For a bit of context, at London startup the furlough scheme is very unlikely to be 80% of their salary because it is capped at 30k per year pre-tax/80% of your salary whichever is lower.

That said, I'm surprised half of people turned down 2k/month to job hunt.

This would not have wholly worked with Linux. As I've noted elsewhere in this discussion, Linux does not support all of the Unix mechanisms. It does not implement the XCASE line discipline flag; so, unlike on Unix, on Linux one cannot use the xcase mechanism to get lowercase on an uppercase-only terminal.

FreeBSD doesn't support the Unix mechanism, either. Nor does NetBSD.

Xe could have connected it to an OpenBSD system. OpenBSD still supports the whole mechanism.

> The oh but you could just mv foo-{bar,baz}.txt crowd is completely missing the point.

I disagree. I think a better way to think about things is, "can I accomplish my goal most of the time using the standard tools without writing something custom?" I'll be the first to admit that there are a ton of things in the shell and in coreutils that I don't know about. I bet I've written several scripts over the years with custom functionality that could be replaced with standard tools I didn't know about. That's the thing that I want to avoid.
It's definitely not easy, more candidates on the market -> higher competiton. As a side note, furlough only covers up to a certain salary level (2500 pounds I think).
No severance?!

I, as an expat, am absolutely grateful and have changed my tune on the “European welfare state” trope to “this just makes sense”. I got let go from a Berlin based fintech and got 3 months pay plus a small severance. They did this likely because funding fell apart during the pandemic but it could have also been to cull people that they didn’t need but they did do right by us.
While https://www.atheists.org/ is just available in one, as far as I can tell. They need to step up their game.

I don't really understand that either. My best guess is potential employers can contact them directly? Still I would put a layer in between, i.e. LinkedIn.
The kinds of articles are intensely frustrating because they all misrepresent the science.

"Masks protect other people from you if you're infected".

Here's a study where they used four patients who had an active SARS-CoV-2 infection. https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2764367/effectiveness-sur...

They asked the patients to cough 5 times onto a petri dish. There were four sets of 5 coughs, with a new petri dish used for each set. The first set of five coughs used no mask; the second used a fluid resistant surgical mask; the third used a home made mask; and the fourth used no mask.

Wearing a mask does reduce the amount of virus that gets onto the petri dish, but it doesn't stop all of it. The infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2 is tiny, so if people are wearing masks and going out coughing then they're infection other people. We're maybe dropping the R0 from 5.5 to 3.5 -- not nearly far enough.

Worse, when they swabbed the masks they found the outside of the fluid resistant surgical mask had the virus. We know the virus can remain "alive" on fluid resistant surgical masks for about 7 days. We know members of the public will be pulling the mask up and down and re-adjusting it. Now their fingers are contaminated, and that contamination will spread to anything they touch.
While I tend to agree from a personal perspective, however the Wekan project especially seems to be able to pump out lots of very nice features at a high rate, thanks to meteor. Additionally to this, we at Cloudron update the app package about twice a week due to that and so far had very little breakage or regressions, compared to other apps. We do not update meteor often though, which is maybe contributing to the stability.

Fascism and Christianity. Fascism makes it okay to alienate and harm large swaths of the population, creating self-blame amongst the poor; Christianity makes it acceptable to give handouts and second-rate care to people and call it the charity of God.

And yeah, it's fucking insane. But it's also how people want to live, it would seem. It's hard not to look at the voting patterns in the USA and conclude that certain areas do this intentionally.
Interesting. Down here in Southampton there aren't often sparklers on ale taps.

Apparently in England (can't speak for Wales) there's a regional divide - Us southerners like a relatively flat ale, with no real head. In the north a beer ought to have a bit of fizz and hold a foamy head.

Yeah I wonder if the lockdown is going to kill any of the local industry. There are three or four decent ale and craft bars in walking distance of my house, and I'd like to keep it that way.
