> "I'm a 24 y/o full stack engineer (I know some of you are rolling your eyes right now..."

As a 35 year old full stack engineering manager I can say that anybody rolling their eyes at that statement needs to check themselves. Lately I've been getting smoked by a 21 year old software dev. She's constantly teaching me things and improving my code. Frameworks and technologies evolve so fast that age is a very poor metric of practical knowledge.
As someone preparing for this, too, I still have no clue on how to rasterize the code quickly. Voice always feels inefficient and braille feels like a joke when it comes to the amount of information being displayed. Do you have suggestions? Do you transpile code?

I also use VIM because it feels like the best case of voice integration or braille integration...but I have no source for how to actually do this properly. Are there good reading materials on this?

Currently I am trying to build a semantic web browser, also with the intention to filter out all legacy crap CSS that prevents interaction with the content [1] and the idea of being able to train CNNs with the content... but when it comes to code, my memory of it seems to suck so hard that I always have no clue of what I wrote the day before.

No. It is kind of sad when a language dies, but for the individuals that might have once spoken that obscure language they are now instead speaking a more common language that opens up a much large world for them.

They have a much greater chance of contributing to humanity if they have access to all that a common language provides.
Memories... yes, indeed. We had one step further. We had our own cow (just one). Although the effort involved from feeding the cow (that didn’t necessarily yield much milk compare to those special breeds), milking it at 6am, collecting cream over many days was eye opening to me. I used to help churn the butter with the wooden thingy meant for it. Yes, the butter tasted amazing, partly because we felt it had to, for all the hard work gone in to it :)

Style transfer is done using neural networks, so it should be natural that the resultant image fools a neural network classifier. On the other hand, for the filled silhouette, the classifier network was pretty close to human.
I've lived in both the PNW and the Bay Area and I can't tell the difference between the water in each location. It's great in both locations (north bay, SF proper, or peninsula). I won't speak to the south bay though

Having spent some time in Arizona, that's a place where the water quality and taste is horrible.

You bay area folks don't know how good you have it.
I had not seen that one. Lots of truth indeed!

Interesting point, do you have any examples? I’m generally left swinging but find the general style used by sbs and abc are generally less click baity and manipulative but are at times pretty left swinging themselves.

If Einstein's theory roughly says that massive objects deform space proportional to their mass, the effect of which is that massive objects (all else held equal) will tend to move towards each other more so than they would otherwise; meanwhile Newton's theory says that massive objects attract each other proportional to the product of their masses divided by the square of their distance; and Newton's theory does in the vast majority of useful cases yield approximately the same numerical result as Einstein's theory, then how is Newton's theory not an approximation of Einstein's theory?

There's a difference between "finding it difficult to get started on the thing you don't want to do" and "literally would not be able to choose to do it for more than a few minutes even with a gun to your head".

I don't know the OP but this seems a bit like telling someone that "everyone feels tired sometimes" when they might have undiagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome.
Some people here suggest you might have ADHD. I encourage you to consider this, but suggest for you to be very skeptical towards this possibility. You can find extended discussion on this here: [1]. Focus first on fundamentals like sleep, exercise, diet, good social and romantic ties. Even if just one of your fundamentals is off, it might cause your brain to tell you “Hey, you want for me to put some long, hard, focused effort towards some long-term, hypothetical payoff, and yet I have this IMMEDIATE, IMPORTANT unfulfilled need. I am not even sure if I will make through the next week/month/X. Fix your priorities first, only then let’s play the long-term game, OK?”.

You'd be surprised how well JS does on both fronts, in addition to being able to run across platforms :)
> Here’s an interesting comparison between Australia and Canada for example, who both responded similarly but have ended up in markedly different situations.

Well no - Australia required quarantine of all returning overseas travellers from March 15, Canada advised self isolation from March 25. That's a huge difference.

Again - correct, thoughtful interventions worked.

> Essentially, I am assuming that vaccines will not play a large role, because it will have played out before they become available, and/or because we don’t have any coronavirus vaccines and it’s probably harder to make one than we think.

I've seen the "we don’t have any coronavirus vaccines" meme too. People don't seem to realise we've only had one serious coronavirus before (SARS) and it isn't anywhere as nearly contagious. There just hasn't been much work done on coronavirus vaccines before.

We do however have anti-viral treatments (eg Tamilflu), and it's likely we'll either get a working vaccine or a anti-viral drug that provides some relief in the next 12-18 months.

> My hope here—based on some very preliminary data—is that we are actually much further along than the testing might indicate (e.g. 5% overall prevalence and much higher in certain metros, vs 0.2%)

Either way, it's a long way off the required 80% for herd immunity.

> We are learning that ventilators have proven to be basically lethal to COVID patients

This is absolutely untrue. There have been people sharing data showing that the mortality rate of people on ventilators is higher than those who aren't, but that is because ventilators are only used on people who are closer to death.

It's true that in some cases oxygen is sufficient for some people.
At this point, after 25 years, I'd be surprised to find one that is.
My sister reported encountering one of our house cats while riding her horse miles from our house. The other one never even made it as far as the horse paddock.
It’s unfortunate your comments are being downvoted for stating the truth.
Is this space really evolving that much anymore though? I don't follow this field; what's been going on in web standards lately?

Seems like lately, from a user perspective, the current emphasis is mostly on doing the same things faster. So an indie browser developer probably won't get JS JIT down as well as a megacorp, but is that it? It seems to me like if you are standards compliant as of 5 years ago there shouldn't be a lot to do today.
Depression (and many other illnesses, autoimmune, hormonal deficiencies, sleep disorders, all kinds of dementia and other neurological illnesses) will produce a dysexecutive syndrome that's very similar, if not indisginuishable, from ADHD.

In your specific case you may want to read up on something called "learned helplessness". Essentially you are being conditioned by failure to quit prematurely.

That is different from ADHD. ADHD in itself is really a diagnosis of exclusion, where no clear cause can be found.

It's silly that this comment is being downvoted. Building up capital is good advice for anybody, if only because you may have a surprise medical condition (or, you know, global pandemic) impact your career and cashflow. In this case OP is 'fortunate' enough to have early warning. IDK if algo trading etc is the right path, but a solid savings account and investment portfolio never hurt anybody.
I believe the emphasis was on "full stack engineer" which is why the justification was experience with both frontend and backend engineering.

Depending on which circles you run with, full stack is usually seen as misnomer because it colloquially refers to frontend engineers with the bare knowledge of backend in Node.
Even for me as an indian, it's a very strong smell.
I wrote the beginnings of a Gun implementation in Go based on my reverse engineering of the Gun JS code: https://github.com/cretz/esgopeta. I halted development as I am no longer needing it, but the code might give some insight (assuming it's even accurate, never made it to significant testing).
Are you sure this isn't "self sabotaging", ie not trying hard so that you can tell yourself that failure isn't because you're not smart enough but because you didn't actually try?

This can be a common coping mechanism for people with "fixed mindset". For an overview of the "fixed" vs "growth" mindset research, see e.g https://fs.blog/2015/03/carol-dweck-mindset/

(This is some really fascinating research and I've talked to lots of people who grew up as "smart kids" that feel this describes at least part of their personality.)
I worry that the modern definition of "astroturfing" is so broad that it can be applied to any kind of large-scale organizing. It shouldn't be surprising to discover that the anti-shutdown movements in various states have ties with each other and with anti-shutdown politicians.

I'm reminded of a time in highschool when an essay that I wrote was flagged by an automated essay verification engine as plagiarism. I certainly hadn't plagiarized, and it was up to me to refute that each identified keyword-similar internet resource on the internet was not an uncited source of my paper. I disengaged. I later wrote an essay about how keyword search tools could be helpful to students doing original research. True story.

Decades later, I would guess that human review is still advisable.

This need of mine to have others validate my unpaid work has nothing to do with that traumatic experience.

I still harbor this belief in myself: that what I have to say is worth money to others, and that - someday - I'll pay a journal to consider my ScholarlyArticle for publishing in their prestigious publication with maybe even threaded peer review (and #StructuredPremises linking to Datasets and CreativeWorks that my #LinkedMetaAnalyses are predicated upon). Someday, I'll develop an online persona as a scholar, as a teacher, maybe someday as a TA or an associate professor and connect my CV to any or all of the social networks for academics. I'll work to minimize the costs of interviewing and searching public records. My research will be valued and funded.

Or maybe, like 20% time, I'll find time and money on the side for such worthwhile investigations; and what I produce will be of value to others: more than just an exercise in hearing myself speak.

In my years of internet communications, I've encountered quite a few patrons; lurkers; participants; and ne'er-do-wells who'll order 5 free waters, plaster their posters to the walls, harass paying customers, and just walk out like nothing's going to happen. Moderation costs time and money; and it's a dirty job that sometimes pays okay. There are various systems for grading these comments, these essays, these NewsArticles, these ScholarlyArticles. Human review is still advisable.

> How can we identify biases in these objective systems?

Modern "journalism" recognizes that it's not a one-way monologue but a dialogue: people want to comment. Ignorantly, helpfully, relevantly, insightfully, experiencedly. What separates the "article part" from the "comments part" of the dialogue? Typesetting, CSS, citations, quality of argumentation?
The vast majority of people entering Singapore in March were Singapore citizens returning. A lot of them were students who came back because the schools had closed.

The mistake was not letting them it, but to let them self-quarantine at home. This led to them infecting other family members who then spread it further.

This has changed now as anyone entering Singapore has to be quarantined in a separate facility.
Paine was the Bernie Sanders of his era. He was a hardcore humanist and abolitionist. Very few Americans realize how marganalized he became after the revolution. His story is a sad one and he should be celebrated far more than basically any other founding father by persons of conscious
To clarify here, OrbitDB's core is an append-only, immutable log CRDT. While a mouthful, what is gives, is a distributed (decentralized) database operations log. Almost any type of database, or data structure, can be then built on top of that log. The log in OrbitDB is a Merkle-DAG [1], so, a graph.

Key-Value databases, feeds, and other data model types that OrbitDB supports by default, are all built on that log. You can also create your custom database types, ie. custom data models.

ADHD is best described as impaired self-directed behavior.

The kernel of motivation may exist, but an ADHD victim would fail to follow through on that motivation, to their own detriment.

Either due to lack of concentration, lack of planning, or lack of execution. Often all of the above.

It is a general dysexecutive syndrome that that may impact all higher order cognitive functions.

Motivation, on the other hand can also be impaired by depression (aka "learned helplessness" - which is not uncommon in ADHD), but that would not be ADHD in itself.

All very worthy, but nothing really unexpected [0]. I was hoping we would see some radical ideas and scientists from obscure universities getting funded.

>Did it really? I remember strikes against "austerity" measures and such, but a wave of basic grant militancy

I know nothing about these events, but it's not hard to believe a large number of people came to support UBI during a period of frequent strikes. With huge groups working together for a common goal, you'd expect some of them would start supporting more radical ideas

I have a friend that went through this exact thing. He's helped with Facebook to design better accessibility features at one point. He used to be a developer and did photography and most inspiringly he still does photography even while blind which I think is an inspiration.

Spend time now to learn about accessibility features on different systems, iPhone, android, your PC. Look into how to navigate into them. Look up screen readers as you may use them to have them read content from the web for you. Be an advocate for accessibility features and their standardization as this is often forgotten with developers.

I've posted a link below to a video of my friend, if you'd like to reach out to him, PM me. It's a definitely challenging time. I've known him since before and after going blind so he may give some advice from his experience.

Also reach out to other blind communities now to hear perspectives from many other people if you can.

e.g. 1337x.to, limetorrents.cc and torrentking.eu bring up an "access blocked" page. "Access to this site has been blocked by an order of the Federal Court of Australia" etc.

https://thepiratebay.org is working fine for me today, although I'm sure that address hadn't worked for a while until very recently, and it wasn't the same sort of blocking as those above.

I have a new computer. On my old one I changed to Google DNS when a lot of torrent sites were being blocked a few years ago, and suddenly they all worked again. Kind of silly saying access is blocked when changing one number on the computer unblocks them all.
Yes, the list of moderators is mutable. It's addition-only out of the box, but to create a system where removing moderators is possible, you can create a new thread with the new set of mods (minus the one you removed) and the first entry in that new thread can reference the old thread. This model gives the new set of mods forward control, but the old content will still have the old set of mods.

This also works for encryption in members threads. To remove a member, you can create a new thread without the member and link the original thread. This gives forward secrecy since new encryption keys are generated for the new thread.

We're working on improving this system over time, but it requires some more advanced cryptography such as proxy re-encryption (like nucypher).
It seems like you don't understand my objection. I'm not sure what the disconnect is. I thought I stated it very directly and plainly.

Also, you did propose a rule and an absolute guideline. It's puzzling to me that you seem to think you didn't do that.

Specifically, you put forward the moral precept that parents have a "permanent and total" obligation to their children.

I work on tezos smart contracts for tokenized decentralized rewards issuing on baking (mining but delegated proof of stake so efficient and not killing the planet). This however has jackshit to do with blockchain as a datastructure as there is no representation of it within the tezos smart contract language (michelson). This is useful and maybe what you understand as blockchain but I cannot name any specific application that you (going by your blog) will not spin of as being pointless because of some buzzwords because its easier.
Because I honestly think that most discrimination is unconscious. Many people conducting interviews have never met a legally blind person and it can make them uncomfortable. Generally, I have found people don’t hire others who make them uncomfortable, or at the least, would put other candidates ahead of them.

Once hired and able to demonstrate ability, people are less likely to let that initial uncomfortableness get the better of them.

i put up about 20 cat stairs/platforms on the inside of my apartment, along a whole wall and wrapping around my breakfast nook, comprised of 4 main paths and 3 different entry points. there are 2 cat beds, a cat grass planter, and 2 sunning platforms incorporated. it was a fun project and my cat (and former cats) loves it! when she gets the zoomies, she'll do laps up and down the stairs out to the other room and back.

i should note that these swiss cat ladders were a partial inspiration, having run across a similar article a few years ago.
