This has happened at least twice before with a Chinese lab with SARS so it's not unknown.

Sure, but you need to be root to install those, they're not portable, and there's no workspace isolation or build system consistency— yes CMake has bridge methods to work with autotools/pkg-config, but it's all pretty hacky.

For a tool that does attempt to do virtualenv-like workspaces for C++ packages, see colcon [1], but there are still a lot of rough edges there— it's an evolution of the catkin multi package build system/tool from the ROS ecosystem, and part of the promise of it is a pluggable mechanism for discovering the packages in your workspace to avoid needing to a patch in a special XML file containing dependency information.

In my experience, the client is stupidly buggy. I've lost messages silently multiple times. This is a known issue and after losing several key messages stopped using it.

So, IMO the barrier is, "actually working"

Anyone know Stripe's revenue and the multiple this 36B valuation represents?
Youtubers and other content creators use it, and buy up a lot of the ancillaries equipment (microphone, lights etc).

I've bumped tons of fellow travelers that use them just for raw convenience when making travel videos. I.e. I don't just use it that one time a year I snowboard, it also comes with me to the beach, when I try kayaking, trying to get cool sakura shots, etc.

Then there's bicyclists and motorcyclists (again, me) that use it as a "dash cam."

Thing is I'm all of the above... and I'll probably never buy another gopro. I have a gopro. It works extremely well. Best in class. The only time I'll buy another is if I lose this one or it breaks. Sometimes I buy batteries and the like but those are maybe 30, 40 bucks. And I have no interest in their moonshot cloud whatever bullshit. So I'm not sure how businesses like that continue to make money.
I suppose someone would eventually choose to do more with the site and wants to use React at that point, that might make it a better fit.

Otherwise, I also don't think it is quite the end times that they used react at all anyway.

I see one old Mercedes in the first photo below the headline and one Camaro in the very bottom photos. The rest look like Ford/GM/Chevy/Toyota, standard automaker labels for the most part. I know I've probably missed a few, but there are very few luxury vehicles in these photos.

Where are all of the high-end cars in these pics? Most look like standard makes and models to me.
To be fair, GoPro absolutely recognises that - that's what their Quik client is for.

This article ignores certified email built into almost every email client.

I recently experimented with Thunderbird and Mac Mail because I wanted to set up encrypted email, and I wanted to move from GMail to one of my domains through RunBox.

Both clients are set up for encrypted email through certificates. The UI is pretty slick in both cases, the docs looked pretty clear!

What I found as I tried to send an email saddened me: obtaining a signed personal certificate with a CA is nigh impossible (self-signed is easy, but useless). I have some friends in the military who's certs are on my keychain because they are signed by .mil, but for us schlubs? There's really no alternative that I could find that is trusted.

Seems like if personal certs could be offered by a reliable CA, it would be pretty damn easy to use encrypted email.
Thanks, I noticed that too. I'm transcoding the longer video to rehost it myself.
which VPS do you use for this?
That's what I typically do when I must. I find it yields much more readable tests than mocking does, and they're less likely to accidentally become tautological.

That said, discrepancies can still sink in, so I think it's best to also have some baseline level of tests that run against the real dependency, even if they're typically only run overnight on the CI server.
If you scuba dive, there's no option even close to GoPro for the combination of accessories, price, stabilization (the iPhone is still not quite there, and the old ones are totally useless), video quality, and access to the controls under water. It shoots in a flat color profile, which the iPhone still doesn't, so grading color is super easy.

Editing and uploading from a phone is nice, but it stays on the boat when you drop in.
Kubernetes Node Local DNS Cache
Hi, this is my weekend project.

I love Twitter but it took lot of time for me to build a relevant follow list. In my opinion, Twitter's search functionality for finding accounts is not effective.

It has 2 main problems

1) It doesn’t allow you to filter out spammy, unoriginal and verbose with all hashtags accounts to get to people that matter
2) It has limited ability to find relevant accounts which don’t mention your search keywords in Bio or anywhere

TwitterSherpa.com is a small side project for helping you discover genuine thought leaders on Twitter for any topic. It goes beyond mere keyword searches and uses crowdsourced indicators to rank profiles for a given search. It also classifies accounts or People/Non-people.
Whatever helps keep people at home is a good investment right now.

Problem with generalizations is that they generally don't hold up to concrete examples.

This! Exactly this was done already in 2008 crisis and it is just so weak and simple for management to blame anything else than themselves.
For me I think we moved toward of a more connected society in feedback we give on companies. A company that would let me go with such a ridiculous argument I would not join or give a very bad review online... and more and more I will join companies that treat their employees good. After corona - people will jump and consider companies that treated their employees right in crisis time...
At this point most systems that are easier and more cost effective to operate on cloud are already there.

Are you suggesting that .. China is going to engineer a virus and release it in its own population?

And then shut the whole country down and pray that it would spread fast and worse elsewhere?

Let's just say that back in early February nobody even in China thought that other countries are going to be affected. It is a disaster for the CCP at the time that had popular opinion on the internet swing suddenly and violently against the government.

Now, seeing how other countries reacted, that suddenly was not the case anymore. And the CCP have no ability to control other countries action.
If they are viable businesses, then yes. That's the hard part of risk management: determining which companies will make it through if you support them and which will fail anyway, regardless of assistance.
Hmm, afaik the framerates were chosen to be equal to the AC freq so that there are no glitches in the image. Do those countries have converters or something in the TVs, or did they watch jumpy image?
I bought a DJI spark last year and had a lot of fun for a few months flying it in my backyard. it got stale kinda fast though. it basically flies itself, so just flying around in a field gets boring. on the other hand, at $400, it was a little too expensive for me to feel comfortable trying any daring shots with it. I made some cool aerial panoramas, but the camera isn't really good enough to make anything worth sharing. if you want to get decent pictures, you have to spring for one of the $1200 models, which are still only about as good as a high-end smartphone camera.

I did find one killer use-case for it though: cleaning gutters. the house I was living in at the time was designed in a way that made cleaning gutters very dangerous. I used the drone to see which parts actually needed cleaning, then my roommate would clear them using a long pole with a hook while looking at the camera feed. awkward, but much safer.
Funny you should say that because, compared to every other digital camera I've used, GoPros were pretty easy to use. But it's been many years since I've used one.
Is Stripe still hiring during COVID-19?
When will things return to a more normal state?
You can't prove it was not engineered or bred/selected (an ancient method of genetic engineering!). But... the burden of proof is on anyone asserting that it was intentionally created to provide evidence.

So far I have only seen innuendo and the weakest sort of circumstantial evidence, but if someone can produce something stronger I'd be willing to consider it.
The biggest barrier to late adopters is the learning curve and confidence: They worry that new tech will take too long to learn, and they're not confident it will work right.

Right now a lot of people have no choice but to learn how to meet with Zoom, how to order with Instacart, how to communicate through Slack, ... And as they do, hopefully things are working out OK and they're building confidence in those technologies.

When the pandemic subsides, I don't see much reason for people to revert en masse.
Making appealing video requires thought, knowledge of lighting and how cameras work, and creativity. "Just strap on a camera and go" is definitely not the way to do it, people make amazing videos with mediocre skill in the thing they're doing.

It's like any other complex tool, garbage in garbage out.
> Why haven't they been totally displaced by a manufacturer with a cheaper clone, also offering a good enough brand and ecosystem to compete?

I looked into this recently because I wanted a handlebar cam for bike touring. The answer is that the competition is, by and large, not good enough. It fails on the obvious stuff: resolution, battery life, ruggedness, UI, software support. There are plenty of action cams that do one or two of those well, but no one except GoPro ticks all the boxes.

I honestly wasn't expecting to buy a GoPro when I started researching - especially because my main interest is timelapse rather than video. But after days looking into it, that's the conclusion I came to.
ARtillery Briefs: Tracking AR Success Traits
Every year you get millions of new customers who start adventuring for the first time. Things also get lost or break etc so it seems to be a viable long term business.

This is common for durable goods. You get a spike of initial sales and steady stream after that, the difference is microwaves spiked decades ago and GoPros’s peaked more recently.
With an identical schema to boot.
I guess it just doesn't check out with me. I've been around poor people. I've lived with them. I'm sure some of them are working constantly (probably more the ones with kids, which they shouldn't have had in the first place), but generally they don't seem to be particularly busy. Most of them, if they wanted to sit down and start learning web tech from online tutorials (or improve their future in any other way), had the time and resources. They were just not interested. Even things that would save time like 'stop smoking pot 7 days a week' - just nope.
We may disagree on political solutions, but I hope at this point everyone will acknowledge that in a society with otherwise so much wealth, health care shouldn't be that dysfunctional.
Like Spanish Flu? Smallpox? Tuberculosis?
SARS was both as well, we just caught it early.
I feel like their days are somewhat numbered anyway. At least as a hardware company - Chinese GoPro style cameras are getting really good now, as in you can get an action camera that is "good enough" (TM) for anything you are going to shoot for $100 at most these days.

There's definitely a market for overpriced cameras that just work but they might have to widen their horizons to grow.

There is no reason for memory or speed to be different. What I mean is that parts of these libraries could be single small packages that would be as fast.

As an example, look at this folder which:

https://github.com/facebook/folly/tree/master/folly/compress...

In short, these are compression tools. Why not have 1 easily uninstallable package per compression tool in a standard package manager that works the same on all platforms.

Things don't have to be more or less generic.
The problem with artificial selections on virus like SARS-COV-2 is that human do selection much less efficient than our mother nature. Virus that is already spreading in the nature is of far larger quantity than any lab or labs could ever possible achieve. That is, if a natural mutation is going to happen in the lab, it could almsot always be said it has already happened in the nature.

On the other hand, unless they are experimenting with humans, current technology simply doesn't allow us to produce a virus that is not fatal to many other animals but human.

It is not really a viable theory, unless the ground is that the Chinese biologist are way ahead of us in understanding the DNA, which is quite frankly extremely unlikely as a tiny bit of that would be a nature-worthy paper.
sorry, didn't get you
We had been talking about trying out instacart in December. I was just spending lots of time running to pick things up at the store. We used to grocery shop small orders every 2 days or so. Sometimes daily.

Now we are trying to minimize going out at all. So we've been using instacart and shipt for over a month and it's a big time saver. So I expect we will continue to use them once we are in a more normal state.

So I expect lots of people will keep using them just because it saves time.

I think normal is going to be way out like 18 months at least and probably longer.

Even at that point we're probably going to be minimizing crowds and shopping in stores. And we're definitely going to be shopping less frequently and larger grocery orders.

This event will change how a large % of us lives and shops for a long time.
Suddenly things make sense... I would look at a pile of (virtual) cards in a spot and wonder why there was a pile of cards when a goal was not too have a pileup.
Sorry about your loss! My father got diagnosed with this about a year and a half ago, and the first paragraph of your post sounds very familiar. Not a clear (or rapid anyway) change in personality, but certain aspects of it seem to somehow become amplified. He's still able to do a lot of the same things as always, but they seem to turn into reflexes and mannerisms.

At this point he often falls into the verbal loops described in the article, and hasn't really been able to hold a conversation for quite a while. Exacerbated by his poor hearing. He's also extremely restless, and wants to run the washing machine and dishwasher and go for groceries many times a day. When my parents still owned a dog he'd take of for a three minute walk every hour, and he drives my mother nuts by constantly wanting to help out with housework but then being unable to comprehend the simplest of instructions.

He currently spends about a week every month in an assisted care facility, and my mother seems to have finally let herself be talked into looking for a permanent spot for him, though with Covid-19 is hard to tell what will happen and when.

It was a relief when we finally got the diagnosis after he was repeatedly hospitalized for unrelated stuff in late 2018 though. It had been obvious to everyone that knew him for at least five years prior that something was wrong, but he didn't display any of the obvious signs of Alzheimer's. I guess it took extended time spent around medical professionals and a thorough checkup for them to see that something was wrong.

Also to all the young people freaking out about the inability to concentrate: Relax! From everything I've seen and heard a telltale sign of FTD is complete obliviousness on the part of the patient.
> There aren't any obvious communist elites, but there is a weird whitewashing of communism going on.

Well the CCP is stumping hard on the propaganda front. They've shoved the Dalai Lama out of the spot light, etc., and they're working hard to influence Western media, and IMO too many are happy to go along with that to make money. Don't get me started on tech companies. I just don't think that there's a lot of secretly pro-communists in the West.

> And, a communist china fits the purposes of capitalist west quite well.

How?

> So, I would say if there are western elite controlling China, they are doing it for personal gain, not ideological.

Ah but isn't that true of all elites globally? I'm not trying to "whataboutism" here, I just assume that most if not all elites are ideologically agnostic.
I want a bot that translates these advertisements to the equivalent phrasing used in public equity markets

"Someone bought 1,000,000 shares of a company at a price of $20 in a secondary offering. Company's marketcap is now $36B"

Private equity market lingo is dumb. Many companies don't state the valuation after a round and the ones that do deliberately do it for clout. It is confusing and counterintuitive because people wonder why the "valuation is stretched" when literally just someone bought some shares, its not really news that someone bought shares at a high price. "Jonathan bought 1 share of Amazon for $2,000 for a valuation of 1.5 trillion" doesn't matter if this was a secondary market trade, or Amazon doing a 1 share secondary offering "raising $2000", it is a completely non news story, except in how the private equity world chooses to warp the language.

In private equity, the "rounds" have to be a higher valuation, and a "down round" is bad - an instant death knell and death spiral for the company solely because of how the PE world chooses to broadcast clout.

I'm seeing 714kb of data loaded over 924ms.

That's not the React stuff though. There's 82KB of JS from the React bundle (main.08bdff3a.chunk.js and 2.8a9031d8.chunk.js) on the demo site (plus 18kb that's loaded asynchronously for Google's analytics script). Everything else would be necessary even if it was static HTML and vanilla JS. Heck, the video-placeholder.jpg image is bigger than all the JS combined.

And it's not really been optimized at all. A whole stack of the React components could be lazy-loaded with Suspense to get the initial page weight down a bit more. If you didn't want to do that you could probably swap React for Preact and knock another 20KB off the JS bundle size.
