From the enlightened central committee, who have yet to pass an law making it illegal to unknowingly walk the streets while being infected with an virus(and even the common cold is deadly to the vulnerable).

At what point will it ever be legal again to break isolation, and where were the constitutional process that allowed the government to restrict fundamental rights no simple parliamentary majority can interfere with?

This is the problem you have an government making decree's it never had the authority to do because of an "crisis" with no clear star/end condition, which basic sociology predicts will lead to people getting contrarian views and reactions especially if the response to criticism is an "call to authority" no matter how deserved that call is.
I really dislike this all or nothing attitude. It poses so many requirements that people are going to give up on it. It is the same as all the bullshit that flew around in Feb. regarding how you shouldn't be wearing a mask and that you might increase your risk of infection by wearing a mask. Its all bullshit. Yes, you should not be hoarding a supply of n95 masks because these need to go to healthcare workers. But yes you should be wearing something, even a cloth mask if you are going out to a grocery store or anywhere in public with other people around. Is it going to stop it completely? No, but I think we have enough of an idea about the science that the viral load plays into the chances of getting infected.

So why don't we try to do our best and wear masks of any type that we can, and prevent the spread no matter how small? I am just sad people like you have really hurt countries. I know in America we should have been pushing the agenda that we should be wearing masks outside, we should not be hoarding medical masks, we should be washing our hands, and even more importantly we should be taking body temps before entering buildings.
That's too bad, there aren't too many companies offering ARM-based VPS'es. I ended up getting a Scaleway account as late as last month, for the sole reason of using their ARM64 instances. Needed it for debugging some user-reported ARM-specific bug in one of my side projects.

Their ARM64 instances were actually disabled for new users, and required submitting an IT-ticket to be enabled. I thought it was strange at the time, but now with the EOL notice I guess it makes sense.
I either sit in half lotus, or 90-90 style stretch. When I started I had a hard time sitting like that for more than 10 minutes, so I had to change position frequently, but it's better now. I'd switch from sitting to standing ( dining room table + small coffee table). When I got really tired, I'd sit down and start slouching. I slowly increased my sitting time.
24y only? hm. comeon. Have u ever tried getting out of the rat-racing wheel for a while (7-8 months to 1 year maybe)? Apart of physicaly not-doing-that, some physiology actualy depends a lot on psychology. But u need, really, away.. in more aspects than just geographical. (btw Human eyes have evolved for looking far, not close. Which we keep ignoring, progressively)

here some maybe related occurence to me...

20y ago, i had been given a 24 inch tube (no lcd's then), which had very thick glass upfront, for some reason, wasn't very flat.. and guess, one eye on mine kept focusing on the image painted by electrons on the inside of the glass but the other eye kept focusing on the outside on the glass (on whatever reflection there was or wasn't). It took only a week and i could not drive a car anymore - one eye focused on the landscape, the other focused on the windshield glass...

Fixing things back took me 1 month, every day sitting for 1-2 hours on the beach looking into the sea. Or equally far away things (apart of getting rid of that tube, and anything resembling that).

have fun and dont give up, a diagnose isn't a sentence.. unless u make it so..
FWIW that is not my picture, but you are too unspecfic, you do not give any accurate description either, and if there is no such info in "the west" how can I be arrogant, ignorant maybe? The people who care about privacy do not care about how things seem to work for the masses, what is important is the edge cases of privacy.

That does not mean there are other voices in the West. But I do not know what you are looking for, and what you think is bad information.
As a former Scaleway employee, I can confirm the energy profile of the ARM racks were very nice.

It has been publicly said before by many, though I'm not sure we ever released any data publicly on this, so I'll keep this at the anecdata level
I agree with you and I would like to share what just happened to me with Scaleway.

Scheduled maintenance on their network, notified 1 week in advance. "No action required", they said. My IPv6-only VPS stopped to be reachable from outside and I could not get the web console. I opened a ticket and after some ineffective suggestions (trying to switch the machine on and off or go into recovery mode) as I was sure there was a problem in their new network, I found a workaround by myself: buying a floating IPv4 address, attaching it to the machine and using Cloudflare for IPv6. Today, after 16 days since the high priority ticket has been created, I got a reply with a solution: create a new instance, one month of refund.

Tip: there are many good alternatives to be considered even if you are looking for <= 5 $ VPS that have way less shortcomings and many times the cheapest VPS on Scaleway is above 10 $/month because of prolonged shortages. I would consider it only for hobby projects which require a lot of network traffic (VPS network is not capped).
That question is a little ridiculous.

I wouldn't tell you about the time I was molested by my dog when I was 5. oops...I told you.
5 Open Source Tools to Improve Your Serverless Development Experience
Very good point. You can be ambitious playing video games (e.g. put a lot of practice into it, get to the top of the ladder in a competitive game or organize a big clan/guild/tournament) or lazy playing video games (download some free to play game or "idle" game and just click away without putting mental effort in it).

And from personal experience, people who are ambitious in video games are mostly able to transfer that ambition to other areas of life. There was even a paper [1] that compares managing a successful WoW raid guild to managing a company. I had many meetings with both, guild/raid leaders and managers of multinational companies and would confirm that many personality traits are similar.

However, the average gamer probably tends a bit more to the "lazy" side of things but probably the area of application (e.g. job/computer games) is not the right category to explore/define mental laziness.

ProtonDB had that issue in the beginning when users selected their own rating, but they changed the rating system. The only complain that could remain is the one for the multiplayer - if the single player runs perfectly but the multiplayer not, which rating is that? But pure multiplayer games are rated correctly, see https://www.protondb.com/app/578080 for example.

> What does ‘Done’ look like?

At least in the software world, I'd say an abandoned project is done. Good enough to ship is something else entirely.

> I’ve learned to adopt an “organic” project process, based on the assumption that it’s impossible to know the end result when I start.

For some things you do want to spend a bit more time planning up ahead, as some decisions can be hard to undo later.

But I think one should definitely try to make code pieces as modular as possible, and as easy to change as possible. As you say, the final product will likely not be as one imagines at the start. Especially since customers seldom know exactly what they want.

So many times I can whip up new features in short order, because I spent some time up ahead making small reusable modules out of functionality, so it's easy to use from elsewhere.
To me there are two keys:

1) Keep the phone far out of reach

2) Every time I get overwhelmed, try to stop thinking about the big picture and think "What's the smallest piece I can do right now?" Starting my IDE, starting the software, fixing some obvious typo. Whatever.

3) Yes, block distracting apps, but not permanently. If I do that, I relapse and feel guilty. Instead, I use a Chrome app called Focus (there's a million of them out there) to block distractions for 30 minutes at a time. Enough for me to do work, but not enough where I want to give up.

I've had a great experience with Proton. Glad it's getting some exposure.
I think you are agreeing with my point: if you can synthesize pure THC you can compare its effects to the cocktail of substances that is cannabis and identify CBD as another active part of the equation. Once you synthesize both you can look for a third, and so on. You can then much more quickly study interactions and combinations. Waiting to genetically create a different combination of all these substances is going to be much slower. Also it allows you to combine them with other substances to study those interactions. Imagine a study of a combination of CBD, a beta blocker, and psilocybin. That would be a difficult thing to do if you start with just the plant material, but easier with pure substances.
I think the pun has to do with the word 'job', which is an abstraction used for CPU scheduling, among other things.
Crazy, WOJB was also one of my home radio stations (although being close to Ashland we got others as well). My dad DJd occasionally on WOJB when I was really little.
And people actually paid for it, too!!
Last time I checked by default only a limited number of verified titles is playable with Proton, so if it appears in your list, it should work well.
You can enable Proton for all your games, although then I think there is no way to distinguish a verified title from the others.
For more recent history, Alan Kay gave a couple talks at Stanford that are on Youtube. He goes over much of the work done at PARC. It might spark an interest in one of those topics to dive deeper into.
I'm somewhat fond of the idea of a maximum ratio between the highest and lowest earners in a company, maybe 10:1. So if new employees are started at $50k, the max remuneration for any individual would be $500k. This provides an incentive to raise salaries at the bottom.

I would apply this to all forms of payment. So if the CEO gets stock, they would be eligible to receive 10x whatever they give to their lowest level employee.

Yeah I've had it running and streaming! Have run a few games this was - ARMA3, GTAV, South Park: Stick of Truth. All worked well.
Have also tried running the windows steam client in WINE and had a few more issues, but as ever YMMV.

The performance isn't quite as good (very close to windows perf levels), but quite a few anti-cheat systems will not work in Proton (even less so in WINE).
The official whitelist lives here, https://steamdb.info/app/891390/info/ about halfway down in the "SteamPlay App Mappings" section. It has very stringent requirements and is not often updated. ProtonDB may be a better place to get an idea if a game is "playable," as opposed to the "perfect" that the whitelist is aiming for.
No offense but you should do a better job at explaining whats wrong instead of telling someone to brush up on math.
Porting games seems pretty hard IMO. Why isn't there an intensive to port the latest Adobe CC software [1] too?

I know a few designers & video editors who use passthrough to run Adobe software on their beefy workstations, which I would also prefer as I'd rather not use multiarch on my linux system.

This is literally the people who deal with consequences of bad code. If you fire on bad code and then you leave maintennance on others, you are the "armchair" one. Because you are not dealing with consequences.

To me it seems the opposite - persuasion didn't get people to wear masks, and enforcement did.
I've worked remotely for nearly 2 years now. The majority of that time I was the only remote engineer in a company of ~80 engineers. We went fully remote just over a month ago and it has been a huge quality of life boost for me. Before everyone went remote the communication was pretty lopsided where I had to make sure I was over communicating and inserting myself strategically. Now that everyone is remote it is a lot more natural with everyone on the same playing field

> Create a standard, ask Unity and Unreal Engine to support it

It's called Vulkan, I believe. Or, you know, OpenGL even. Doesn't change the fact that it's the developer who will have to support it. Also doesn't change the fact that the developers _won't_ support it because of the same reasons that they don't now: it's not commercially viable. DirectX is not the problem.
Oh hey, this worked fairly well. I used one of the Snap fake-greenscreen filters and fed it to OBS as you suggested. It really does highlight the limitations of fake-chromakey (edges are fuzzy/flickery) but that's to be expected without a real, properly lit backdrop.

I won't be using this in any work meetings but it could be fun for calls with friends.
I would point out he described people who do the most uncomfortable work on the project and therefore also talk to other people.

The "does" he described cherry pick easy, fun, highly visible work, refuse to coordinate with others, dont help with integrating other peoples parts and then take offense when people doing integration complain.
The biggest reason not to have children may be missing: responsibility. Raising a child is a massive responsibility, and one not everybody is well-equipped, or willing, to bear. It's no easy task, and it takes precedence over everything else. The news is filled with stories involving parents who probably should never have had children.

I have two children, and I'm really glad I do, but I would never judge anyone for choosing not to.
Being a sysadmin for 15 years and a Linux desktop user for 18+ years, I can say that the requirements are vastly different after a certain point in the OS.

Do we have fundamental civil right doing this crisis?

Go read any constitution of a democratic state, they all contain protection of activities that is being restricted as a part of the corona containment measures, and in many cases without any legislative process let alone that needed to change an constitution.

Representative Democracy always contains an explicit contract on where the governments mandate to regulate ends, which is often as important to the freedom of it's public then the mere presence of an vote for representatives.
To be blunt, funding. No one is paying to improve Adobe CC in Wine.
Unfortunately, Israel perfected milk yield a few decades ago; at the time, Israel was something like 10 times the world average, now it’s less than five but mostly because other big producers like Denmark adopted Israeli knowledge, and the world average went up.

It does not involve hormones, but it does involve afaik a very specific feeding regime, both times and content - and the content has no grass.

The resulting milk, as you would expect, is similar to making love in a canoe.

Americans, on the other hand, perfects cheap meat yield. That involves feeding corn to cows, not grass.

A Canadian guy I met once, who grew up on a farm, said their cows were grass fed but a few weeks before slaughter, they would switch the feed to corn, because that way the meat tastes less grassy - making it excellent quality (because grass) and excellent flavor (because no grass). Wouldn’t know myself being vegetarian for a few decades now.
The term mental is often used in the region I live to indicate psychologically disturbed person. So clarifying that I didn't mean anything other than the literal meaning of mind related job.
Weird! I'm nearly the same - I can sit in front of my machine for most of the day, completely unproductive, and then in the late afternoon it's like there's a switch in my brain and suddenly I can work without any distractions at all. What really botheres me is that I finish nearly every day thinking "I'm just going to do exactly what I've been doing now, but first thing in the morning, and then have the afternoon and evening free", and it almost never happens. I just can't find the right focus/frame of mind until after lunch. It's extremely rare that it happens.
Do nvidia profile inspector and reshade work in Linux?
I'm not sure "shocks" is the right word. From what I understand, Carlsen already considered him his most dangerous opponent. Or at least a future rival.
> studying this exact virus

They didn't. This virus was unknown when it first showed up in patients. The closest known virus to SARS-CoV-2 is 96% similar, which translates to a decade or so of evolution.

> US scientists that twice visited the lab.

Do the cables say that "scientists" voiced concerns? I thought they were diplomats. The Wuhan Institute of Virology works closely with US, French and Australian national labs. A lot of the Wuhan personnel is trained at those foreign labs. The lab has lots of scientific collaborators in the US, and receives grant money from the NIH.

Everything I've been able to find about the lab in Wuhan indicates that it operates at the same stringent technical level as foreign BSL-4 labs, and that there's a lot of exchange with foreign scientists.
At this stage I'm beginning to wonder if not having ADHD is the condition and ADHD is the norm?
This is definitely not an ARM-only problem, I also had the same issues for years with both ARM64 and C2.

I deleted my Scaleway account last year after migrating all of my resources over to DO and other providers. I was sick of having to deal with randomly losing access to my servers in intervals of less than half a year.

Now that they're nuking C2 and ARM64 because of stability issues, from a pure price for performance perspective it would make sense for me to return to using their services.. but after my experience battling those issues with their support, it's unlikely.
I can taste and smell a difference between grass fed beef butter and cow feed (mixture of hay and corn usually). I've done so in blind tests before.

My favorite butters are French cultured butters and I prefer salted over unsalted. The tanginess you get from culture elevates the taste of butter to a whole other level.
I wonder why they didn’t use yeast instead?
Kerrygold is my top choice, but only because it's the best tasting of the grass fed butter in my area. However, there are non-grass fed butters that taste better. I use Kerrygold when a recipe calls for a lot of butter, but when I'm putting small amounts on bread, etc., I prefer the non-grass fed options.
I could absolutely see people being persuaded that taking a cruise was safe if they saw it on CNN. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead on a cruise ship, even before the pandemic, but that's just me.

I did, however, fall for the "masks aren't necessary for the general public" line that the CDC was pushing for a while. I was doubly stupid, because I had a small stock of N95's from the recent California wildfires that I didn't even use. I'm now wearing one every time I go out other than to walk my dog. Fortunately, I have not (yet) had symptoms of the virus, and I hope I can avoid it for as long as possible, because I have mild asthma and a heart murmur, and don't really need any more cardiorespiratory issues.
My wife and I have gone on 20+ cruises since selling our own small cruising sailboat 25 years ago. We have decided “never again.”

The thing that has put us off the last few cruises is realizing how workers on the ships are treated. Twenty years ago, it seemed to us that we would see off duty room stewards and other crew going ashore with their friends, and getting some down time. I know this is subjective, but over time, it seems like giving workers much needed down time stopped happening.

Then fast forward to the present time, my wife and I just don’t want to take a chance getting on a ship because the current new corona virus is so much worse than the Nora virus, which used to be what you worried about on ships.

The very real bummer though is this: there are many hundreds of small ports around the world where people rely on extra income from ships disgorging passengers who spend money. A young engineer in Yalta Ukraine told me that he augmented his income as a scientist from tourist related activities, and it was important income for him.

Yes, the cruise industry should go away, but there will be collateral damage.

I do this to fight my OCD of checking repeatedly that I locked the doors.

To an extent it helps.

As a side note I noticed that after I stopped drinking coffee entirely my memory improved, but at the same time my OCD returned to heights I haven't seen since the first time I tried this beverage.

I wonder how this works?
How about just show the first 280 characters bump the limit to 10k or 30k. The experience won't change at all for people skimming their twitter feed. They'll still only see what look like 280 character tweets.

I know there will a long list of replies of the opinion that this would kill twitter. There's no way to know except to try it and I wish they would. The 280 character limit is a net negative for society at large and I feel they already have the eyes so letting people write longer replies will only increase engagement IMO.
I read an interview with one of Dunning and Kruger a while back where they made this exact point. It's always worth remembering.
No, on both. See above.
There's one thing I don't get: why would I optimize for size to begin with?

I live in a small studio apartment together with my gf, and I still am completely happy with a giant ATX case that sits under my desk. And if I would switch it for anything, it would be a bigger case, with more space to organize everything, not a smaller one.
I believe that you are wrong. We can make the machines in a few weeks. It wouldn't be efficient, but we can do it. Take thousands of machinests, give them plans, divide them up, and build. Note that overlap means that you get multiple copies of the parts.

Of course the traditional way to build these machines is more efficient.
