> You don’t want to be the person who thinks their problem through on a piece of paper, has all the ‘structure ready in the head’ but gets bored halfway through implementing it since it’s a lot to type out and it’s taking a lot of time.

Wow. I hope there aren't many people that think this way, as it sounds like a great recipe for crappy software.

Thinking things through is definitely a super power. And "typing really fast" is usually an anti-pattern.

My favorite podcast is No Dumb Questions. It has Destin from Smarter Every Day and his friend Matt Whitman (from the YouTube channel “Ten Minute Bible Hour”)

They do really awesome episodes on History or aspects of history that they’re interested in. The best one of these imo is ‘Siege Warfare’ episode. Other than that they talk about books and friendship. It’s a fun podcast.
The biggest reason to buy the raspi is the software support for the hardware. With lots of these competitor boards, you may get better hardware, but it will be forever stuck on debian of ages long past.

Until I am sure that software support for these other boards is good, I will forever stick to raspi.

Yep. One of the very nice things about npm/node versus python or go or some others is that package locks and dependency pinning is possible. But few people seem to use it.

I’ve seen reports of people using a go library that gets a minor update and breaks their app, at which point they become SOL as go always installs the lad test version. I myself have been working in python projects where the dockerfile simply says “pip install blah” and I get different deps than the working version. No clue why anyone would be okay with working like that.
The free version of PyCharm is great.
I'm sorry if you were unaware, but they absolutely do that, and were doing that long before go was.

As I understand it, the United Kingdom does not have shield laws, nor does the European Union have any analogous binding legislation. This would mean that there is no such thing, in the United Kingdom, as "a reporter", or "a journalist", or etc. The closest that they might have are the employees of the British Broadcasting Corporation, which is royally chartered.

I bring this up mostly because you seem to have some sort of distinction in your mind about whether some people are true journalists or not, but journalism is not a property of people. Journalism is an action and a subculture. The reason for legally distinguishing journalism and those who routinely practice it is to protect them from retaliation and the pressures of the powerful. If the UK were to have shield laws, then we would need to ensure that Murray's actions are congruent with the requirements of said law before we could say that he deserves said law's protection; however, since the UK appears to have no such law, we as a society ought to offer protection to anybody who acts like a journalist in the public interest.

Finally, the headline is not false based on your claim! The headline is "Craig Murray Defence Fund Launched", and indeed it seems that Murray's got a legal defense fund with some cash in it. Perhaps you object to the idea that independent journalists should be allowed to solicit funds for legal defense, but that does not falsify the headline.

Oh, and on the gripping hand, it is reprehensible for a government to conduct justice in the matter so far documented. Even if Murray were both subject to, and failing to meet the letter of, some hypothetical shield law, nonetheless we should absolutely be paying attention to this situation and pressuring the UK to be more transparent.
It took me a little bit to find the "without apps part". Here's the paragraph:

> In the second phase, available in the coming months, this capability will be introduced at the
operating system level to help ensure broad adoption, which is vital to the success of contact
tracing. After the operating system update is installed and the user has opted in, the system will
send out and listen for the Bluetooth beacons as in the first phase, but without requiring an app
to be installed.
That as a distinction between friends and acquaintances isn’t necessarily crazy, but it certainly is not how the word friend is used in practice, so this is a weird thing to insist upon.

Firefox already has a Responsive Design Mode [0] that does this, but for one pane.
Combine that with a tiling window manager and you get everything except the pane

I really wish you well. Makes me consider actually trying Sia for our backups, which would make this the first time I or anyone else I know has actually used a block chain product in production... or for much of anything for that matter.

The block chain world is absolutely overrun with over-funded over-specced over-engineered boil the ocean projects that will never ship anything usable, solutions in search of problems, stuff that just plain doesn't work for fundamental math/algorithmic reasons, and of course a ton of outright scams. All of these are loud and lean heavy on the hype because they have nothing else. Just keep working and you will emerge once the dust settles. Not saying forget about marketing, but focus more on product.
If you care about your command history, I would advise against doing this unless you are truly a sed expert:

$ sed -i '/secret-command/d' $HISTFILE # deletion of history line containing 'secret-command'

Because if you get it even slightly wrong, you could easily hose your entire history. If it were me, I would just use an editor to delete that line (or two, if timestamps are enabled).
> - Looked for jobs with slightly under full-time work loads to allow me time to rest (found only one for 2 years, but the extra rest helped me slow down disease progression a lot)

I think it's awful that such jobs are hard to find, considering the effect on disease progression of all things.

My own only very distantly related anecdote. I'd had an interview with a hiring manager, who would be my boss, who liked me and was keen to employ. But he didn't get to make the decision; he passed me to Head of HR who made the final decision on all hires.

The conversation with Head of HR seemed to go well, and I would have taken almost any terms (including a pay cut) because I really liked that job. But he (HR) wouldn't say how much they'd pay or give any clues about what level they operated at. He insisted on negotiating by insisting that I make the first move with no information, and say what would would make me happy. So I asked if they would consider a 4 day week. No pressure, I'd happily do 5 but 4 would be something I'd like.

That, it turns out, was a "red flag" for them, the idea that I might not be loyal enough to the company that I'd want to spend a day doing something else. This despite my evident eagerness for that particular job. There was no concern about not getting enough work done; they had enough people. It was all about concern that I might do something else with my time off.

I didn't get the job. Despite getting a message from the hiring manager that he was going to send me an offer the next morning, it was blocked by HR the following day with concerns about loyalty being given internally as the reason. Of course HR told me something else entirely.
I work quite a bit with green screen keying. I see the same keylights, ultimattes and primattes used still even in big productions I have worked. Fixing the key can take weeks.

Imo, those are the currently discussed solutions because of the lack of available testing. Ie, with the current constraints. It's akin to two people discussing how to use the budget of $1 million and a third saying "I have a third solution: Make the budget $100 million and do everything". Sure, it's not wrong, and it's different to the first two, but... who cares? Everyone kind of already knows if you have the $100 million you have a much better option.
It also appears to be targeted more at micro-server work than the RPI is. The lack of a wifi chip wouldn’t be a factor for me, my RPI lives near ethernet cords, but would almost certainly be an issue for a lot of RPI uses.
I disagree with the excessive argument. The argument should be to completely ban gambling, because it's been proven to be a harmful practice on society, whether practiced in excess or not.

The larger issue is less actionable than the issue at hand. Point out Harvard’s bias, have them fix it. This is an actionable step in breaking the market preferences of what you suggested in so many words - the white, male, connected, rich Ivy Leaguer that will undoubtedly fit right into a Goldman, ripe for the inevitably bump to head the SEC, or similarly equipped to make a run for Congress or the Presidency. This is something we as a society have discussed ad nauseam, and it’s better to take whatever incremental steps we can than sit here and go ‘gee I wonder what the real root cause of the issue here is? Is society racist?’.

Put the Asians kids into Harvard. They a historically an American scape-goat, and now somehow even in their attempts at uplifting, we found out some stupid ass explanation how it’s fucking up Harvard’s diversity, which I’m willing to bet is still mostly white.

The worst part is that it was posted 10 minute later... I understand bumping a year old issue, but cmon give it a few minutes at least.
mrw you're using a package to do a type-check:

return !!obj && (typeof obj === 'object' || typeof obj === 'function') && typeof obj.then === 'function'
You can't use the very latest version of any software in Debian at all without adding a custom repository, at which point you have the same issue. So the comparison is not apples to apples.
I am aware of package lockfiles.

If deps are immutable, then nothing anyone does in any other package (short of having the package repository take the code down) should be able to break your future builds.

If that were true, TFA would not be news.
It's not an exact clone, and has some nice features:

- hardware 1080p60 h264 encoding (the RPi4 is limited to 1080p30 encode)

- I know the C4 supports VP9 decoding at 4K60, but I'm not sure that the RPi4 does?

- Cortex A55 over an A72; in general usage you're likely to see the A72 beat out by the A55, though it's going to be close enough that you may not care

I can see using one of these, for example, to build a much cheaper homebrew NewTek Spark[0], assuming I can get its hardware encode to play nicely. (It doesn't compete with the Spark Plus, which does 4K60, but for my purposes, 1080p60 is sufficient.)

I didn't get that out of the original comment, and wouldn't presume to apply intent. I think most learned professionals here understand what is meant when they hear or say (for example) "that task took a lot of energy" or "I spent a lot of energy doing xyz..." without having to spell it out in academic terms.

> Though the MK-Ultra directors tried to convince the CIA’s independent audit board that the research should continue, the Inspector General insisted the agency follow new research ethics guidelines and bring all the programs on non-consenting volunteers to an end.

I would like to believe that CIA collectively found their moral compass, learned their lesson, and that was just a dark page in its history. But given its history afterwards, say what they did in South America, the torture programs, etc., I just can't come to that conclusion.

So assuming their morality stayed at about the same level as before. How could have they continued the programs if they wanted to?

1) Rename everything and not use MK-ULTRA label anymore. Find a way to transfer all the useful stuff to a new program and file it under a different label. Anyone looking for MK-ULTRA should not find anything if they went searching later.

2) Next, just like with torture programs, maybe migrate overseas?. Pay some brutal dictator somewhere, maybe blackmail him if there is any dirt on them, borrow some facilities, buy all the local police chiefs and so on.

3) Another avenue is contractors. There is a whole world of "contractors" which do all the dirty and illegal stuff the official intelligence agencies don't want to do. Give the programs some generic sounding names, outsource everything, and then through the back-channels tell the "researchers" what really to work on. Once results come in, file them as something else, compartmentalized so only a few people have access to them.
Intentionally losing 20 in a row is just as impressive as winning.
This is quite interesting to see written out explicitly. I've nothing to add save the fact that I'm continuously impressed with China's ability to raise up its technology sectors using just enough protectionism to make them sustainable without so much as to coddle them so that they don't lack viability on the global stage once they've been raised up. Huawei comes to mind.
Hey man, really like it. Found out that the water where I am might be a bit sketchy - didn't know.

What are you using for the city/country autocomplete?
No.

Other languages don't publish/import packages that are one line of code. I have never seen an issue like this with any other language that I've worked with.

Any sane developer that needed a one-liner like this would just manually implement it.

Not to mention that these sorts of functions are unnecessary in languages with a good stdlib or statically typed languages like rust, etc.

This is not a clone.

The C4 is based on the Cortex A55 (A5x models are typically the low-performance/power Cortex models), while the Pi 4 is based on the Cortex A72 (A7x are the high-performance/power ones).
I've had about two cups of coffee in my whole life but I'm addicted to tea. Especially good quality senchas.

At work place I was drinking about 2-4 x 450 ml per work day. Now at isolation home it's 2-3 cups (maybe 200-250ml per cup) every work day.

Not sure, if the reason for lesser tea consumption at home is because my 450ml pot is at the work place or because I have better concentration at home and less distractions compared to the noisy open office...

There are custom Promise implementations (for reasons), such as bluebird.js. If you're supporting legacy browsers, there will be no standard Promise object. So the simplest way to check for the Promise contract is the code posted. But yes, in an ideal world, one would be able to just do `promise instanceof Promise`.
I've been very cautious when approaching the question of when will covid end. There is too much we don't know about covid namely if and for how long recovered persons are immune.

This website does not seem to be doing the same. I would much prefer the website to be more conservative. It should be named "When could covid-19 end" and the assumptions of it's method should be easy clearer to visitor. (on the same page)

I know to a lot of us it's obvious that this is modeling with many assumptions but when it's presented like fact a lot of people won't look any further into it and take it as fact.
The self-centeredness of encumbering others with trivial questions just because you want it "fresh" instead of even attempting to google it is what I'm talking about.

Also, let's not compare <pero vs perro> to <learning spanish in a classroom>. If you have a teacher/mentor in front of you, sure, cache-hit them with your easily googleable questions. But when you spend 30 seconds making a Reddit submission to save you 3 seconds of googling, what exactly are you accomplishing?

It also does a disservice to the person always asking these questions who never learns to be resourceful. In my ideal world, LMGTFY is just some tough love. Like, now everyone has google in their pocket and I only see an uptick in trivial questions. And I think it's because we baby everyone with the mentality seen in your comment instead of training people to be self-reliant.

It's like when people ask what `const [a, b] = [1, 2]` in #javascript instead of just... trying it. Just do it. See what happens. That's how we need to be training people to learn, not baby them.

Offering conditions that are abysmal by some arbitrary standard is not exploitation in any meaningful sense. And the job didn't lower the bar. He only took the job because it was better than the next best job available to him. The franchiser benefited from the arrangement, but so did the employee.

Unequal power between two parties to a contract, where the more powerful party benefits, doesn't imply a zero-sum exploitive interaction. You're misattributing his shitty situation to the employer, when it in fact existed independently of the employment contract.

His shitty situation was that he didn't have a valuable skill to offer. He had one that was worth little, and the franchiser paid him for his skills accordingly.
And is that reflected by their compensation, or ... ?
I'm not a node expert but i believe the problem is that most people auto-update their node dependencies (I know I do, but I only have to do it rather rarely, since I don't primarily use node), because there are just so often minor security regressions that need to be fixed.
Most academic research groups need a website that provides information about the group's research activities, publications, members, recent news, and so forth. Many of us accomplish this by adapting a WordPress template. This is really simple to set up, but time consuming to maintain. For example, what if you want a page listing all of the group's publications, but you also want to list relevant publications on the page for an individual research project?

As part of my pandemic stress reduction activities, I decided to play around with React and Bootstrap in order to design a new version of my research group's website. My goals were:

* A static site deployed using GitHub pages. No more WordPress. No backend database.

* A SPA (Single Page Application). Just one page. Because that's what the cool kids do. More seriously, I wanted to enable the viewers to get a decent overview of my research group just by scrolling and without any clicking.

* Very mobile friendly. My goal is little to no usability cost for using your phone's browser.

* Easy to maintain. For example, to add a new publication, just update your .bib file (which you have anyway), run a script, and information about the new publication appears in multiple locations throughout the site.

These goals produced some interesting design choices, such as the use of what I call "horizontal" and "vertical" drill downs. I'll let you be the judge of whether and how well it succeeds. That said, I am quite certain the current site is much better than the WordPress site it replaced.

It occurs to me that others might be interested in how I did it, and potentially using my code as a basis for their own academic research group website, so I've set up the source repo as a template with an MIT License.

Thank you. I’ve been trying to something that would work on iOS. Does anyone know an iOS browser that would allow that?
shouldn't it then be called is-promise-like? Also, if you're being loose about it anyways, can't you simply just go for `if (obj && typeof obj.then == 'function')` and call it a day? I'd say that's short enough to include your own version and not rely on a package for.

I think that module over complicates it as it is, and most people don't need that level of complication in their code.
It's already been patched with version 2.2.1.
