Thinking a lot of Zoom meetings are just too long. I recommend max 30 minutes for a meeting, almost regardless what it is about. It's enough to come up with some action points that can be worked on in the meantime, then followed up with a new meeting e.g. in the afternoon.

> What's use of Python 2 if you can't use libraries[1]?

Unless some python 3 fanatic goes out of his way to write a python 2 library deleting virus the existing code wont disappear. Also some of these pledges only limit feature releases, afaik numpy planned to still provide a long term support version with bugfixes for python 2. It also helps that python already comes with a lot of build in bells and whistles so third party libraries aren't always necessary either.

I imagine these sites need to look/be legitimate in order to be approved to buy advertising on FB. Automating them from press releases is a cheap way to do that. FB does some rigorous checks on ad-sets - I’ve had to honeypot their process to debug why on earth they kept rejecting a site (was an automated scraper flagging it? Or was a manual reviewer rejecting it after clicking around? Was the content, user experience, or something else in violation of FB ad policies?): https://facebook.com/policies/ads

Anyways, if these sites want to buy advertising on FB they need to pass this scrutiny. Would be curious to see which urls/content on these sites MassMove sees as nefarious. What landed these sites on the list?

Edit: Oh I see, there’s a short list of site operators.
Really depends on the kind of work you're doing. As mentioned above, numerical and looping code will see the most benefit. I used it heavily when doing Project Euler problems, and those would easily see 10-100x speedups, taking some problems from 5-10m run time to seconds.
The directors have legal responsibilities that puts them at risk if the business is not wound up properly.

It is possible to just let it go bankrupt and leave to the appointed administrators to deal with it, but then you have someone with interests not aligned with yours going through all your papers looking for ways to extract value. That's a pretty good incentive for directors to try to ensure an orderly wind-down on their terms.
Just a little anecdote that’s relevant here. Around 10 years ago my girlfriend didn’t have wifi home yet (low tech family), so we spoke at night over landline, as those calls were free. And it definitely did feel like what some people here are saying: you could hear everything with no delay or cuts at all, the whole call just felt like she was there next to me.

They eventually setup wifi in their home, so we switched to VoIp calls, mainly so we wouldn’t block our families’ landlines for a couple hours every day. And the quality was so much worse...

The delay sometimes would be so bad that we had this technique where one would slowly count down from 3 and then say “Now”! Then when the other heard Now they’d say Now too, and the first person could essentially count the seconds. This way we could “slow down” our conversation to accomodate for the multi-second delay, which (thinking back) was like our own protocol for dealing with signal delay!
Can you give some example of "MSQL" query?
One theory of mine is there is far more self promotion in the developer community now than there was when I started. In particular javascript and web development juniors writing blog posts and dev.to articles as a form of self promotion. On the other end of the spectrum are domain experts who make video courses or books on advanced topics. In the intermediate level you have a big gap with not a whole lot of information available.

Which is why I find so ironic that many still think only languages like Assembly, C or C++ have a place in IoT on devices like ESP32.

Sure, we used Assembly when performance was the ultimate goal, but also plenty of high level languages, including stuff like Clipper for database front ends.

512 KB with a couple of MHz are already capable of doing a lot of stuff, one just needs to actually think how to properly implement it.

I have a feeling a lot of comments here are missing one thing which is huge for me: MacOS has a consistent UI across all applications.

Last year I decided to switch to a Thinkpad with Ubuntu, and while I can work on it, and it kind of has replacements for everything I am used to on Mac, not only the quality of such replacements is usually lower (Good luck finding an equal alternative to iTerm2 or Alfred) but also the shortcuts and UI elements differ from application to application, and it bothers me a lot.
I am certainly buying the upcoming Macbook, even though it's probably going to be based on an average (compared to this AMD), highly throttled Intel processor.
Am I happy about it? No! But for my usage, it's the best trade-off as of now.
> You're incorrect to say that if anyone dies with Covid-19 that they're counted as a covid-19 death.

I'm not. In some countries they absolutely do count anyone who dies while in the possession of COVID as a COVID death, for instance Italy. " Italy’s death rate might also be higher because of how fatalities are recorded. In Italy, all those who die in hospitals with Coronavirus are included in the death counts."

“On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88% patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three.” [1]

In New York they're not just counting speculative COVID deaths of anyone with respiratory illness even if they've never tested positive [2].

"A subtler issue is what to do when the patient has other serious medical conditions. If the person suffered from chronic lung disease, then became infected with the virus and died of pneumonia, the immediate or primary cause would be pneumonia as a result of COVID-19. The lung disease would be listed as a contributing condition, said Sally S. Aiken, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners." [3]

The CDC has guidance on this but it's fair to say its interpretation will vary from place to place. "COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death" -- that's pretty broad. [4]

My understanding is a few folks who committed suicide and a few who died in car accidents due to head trauma were coded as COVID, but I can't find my source on that and I assume it's pretty limited. I wasn't being literal in my earlier comment, however, and nor should this paragraph be considered as changing or doubling-down on that. I assume such cases, if they do in fact exist would be few and far between.

Hope that helps.

I also don't think it's fair to pin 100% of excess deaths entirely on COVID. We shall see, however.

The Supreme Court decided a long time ago that the Constitution said whatever the justices thought it should say. The rest of the government went along with this concept.

This is one of the sources of the replication crisis. People would do experiments to test a hypothesis but find nothing conclusive, they would then p-hack their data until they found something worth publishing back-hypothesize.

The solution is to publish hypothesis and test methodology ahead of time and publish your data afterward.

Absolutely hell no. They were given the chance and repeatedly made the wrong "risk assessment" resulting in deaths.
Do these methods have any history of, say, being able to successfully predict things where we have a known "ground truth"? We have plenty of cases of famous authors writing under pseudonyms for positive examples, as well as having considerable ability to know that certain authorship is unambiguous (e.g. much modern writing may have involved multiple drafts being retained somewhere, or have been done with witnesses, etc). So we can probably safely say that most of the authorship of 20th Century novels is fairly well-known give or take a long-suffering wife or two ("who patiently typed up my genius"); do the same methods here actually work to predict things that we already know?

Or will they, with appropriate levels of massaging, ascribe portions of Dashiell Hammett's oeuvre to Raymond Chandler?
Yeah, ~6% have been given waivers [1] for unknown reasons. There is no official waiver process, and no form for one. They are awarded at the full discretion of USCIS after applying for residency, according to unknown criteria.
When I called my embassy about this, they said my only option was to apply and spend years waiting and hope to get lucky.

So I could apply, spend thousands of dollars, wait years, and only have a 1/20 chance of being awarded a waiver.

I did some searching and it seems that there is indeed a way to bind/unbind the GPU from the host by writing to /proc/bus/cpu, but apparently this is (was?) not always very stable as some GPU firmwares (AMD in particular it seems) do (did?) not allow resetting the device through any firmware interfaces.

If anyone knows if this is still the case and if the same holds for modern NVidia cards as well that would be great! Is GPU reset a documented/officially supported feature on NVidia/AMD these days?

Same here.

I recently build a Ryzen 3950X PC in Fractal Define 7. The case is huge and mostly empty space. No problem though - the case sits below my 2-meter wide standing desk, so it's not competing with anything.

I've got a Blu-ray burner, some PCI-e sound cards that I swap from time to time, and a large potential for future upgrades / add-ins.

That said, it is spectacular what amount of power you can fit in these small boxes these days - if you need to.

> The first study in the linked article was conducted in 2010.

The first study states "greater than 45%." This is pure misdirection here.

> Source? Ideally to an independent, real-world study.

There are vast resources available [1]. Evidence suggests it is around 60% at the stack, and ~55% at the system level [2].

> EVs are generally able to get up to 77% efficiency in real-world usage, per the link I posted above. The Tesla Model 3, the most-efficient sedan in 2020 according to the US Dept of Energy [1], gets 141 MPGe.

That's wells-to-wheels figure. You're comparing very different figures. Also, that 141 MPGe figure is just them gaming the fuel economy test [3]. It is not showing up in real world testing.

Using basic physics (which assumes BEVs are 95% at the wheels vs 55% for FCEVs), the peak difference could only be 72%.

> Even hybrids get decently close to hydrogen; the Prius, for example, gets 56 MPG.

The Prius is a much smaller car than the Clarity. Not really a fair comparison.

However it had a happy ending: the United States Postal Service -- the real one, as in stamps and letters -- signed an agreement with Sub Pop granting a free license to use the name in exchange for working to promote using the mail. Future copies of the album and the group's follow-up work will have a notice about the trademark, while the federal Postal Service will sell the band's CD's on its Web site, potentially earning a profit. The band may do some television commercials for the post office.

Shortcuts all show the correct letter value. So for Ctrl+T, I'd press what is the K key on a QWERTY keyboard. For Cmd+T, I'd press what is the T key on a QWERTY keyboard.

This can get a little confusing, but most common shortcuts contain the Cmd modifier on a Mac, so it's only really Terminal/iTerm where things are different.

My keyboard is still physically a QWERTY keyboard which makes knowing where Cmd shortcuts are very easy, I can just look. I switched to Dvorak when I was 18, but learnt with a Dvorak keyboard so I didn't learn it well enough and when I got to uni and had to use shared lab machines I couldn't manage and had to switch back. Then just over 3 years ago I had 3 weeks off work so switched at the beginning with no physically different keyboards and learnt it all by position and I'm still using it today. Less hand pain, and I can touch type where before I was proficient but not entirely by touch.

The process of waiting to create the first packet to send (even with no compression) will always be slower than a system where you just send the audio instantly as an analog signal. Even the process of waiting for a single "sample" of audio (for a tiny tiny packet) is technically slower (but of course no one does that: they tend to group together at least 2ms of audio into a packet). The only way you can go faster than a classic land line (assuming there were no signal repeaters: like, this is one of those landlines where as you get further away the signal also gets quieter) is if you can go a shorter distance or use materials with less resistance--maybe "lower relative permittivity"? I don't know exactly what measurement you use here as I don't remember enough physics--to build the wiring or (probably your best bet) switches.
