(the first talks about ozone, which is a disinfectant but fundamentally cannot be taken internally as it's a gas, and it's slightly toxic https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/ozone-generators-... ; the book mentions "Oxygen-Ozone therapy is a complementary approach less known than homeopathy and acupuncture" so that's obviously quackery as well)

Look, nobody is convinced that this was posted here in good faith, nor do we have any reason to believe that people like you who are pushing for a "discussion" about this are motivated by anything other than supporting Donald Trump's declarations.

If this technology were effective, we would already be using it. This isn't some secret cure that we forgot about - it's an ineffective treatment that we did away with.

Focusing on this topic isn't for the benefit of COVID-19 patients during this crisis - it's for the benefit of Donald Trump's reelection as he gambles on snake oil cures for this virus.

So maybe ask yourself what you care about more: Human life, or politics?
I understand what you say, but this is different because there is official support from the OEM now. If something doesn't work the Red Hat engineer won't have to reverse-engineer stuff, they will officially contact Lenovo, which will officially contact the manufacturer of whatever component is not working, and they are going to work to a solution the proper way. Much better and faster than the alternative.

nearly local city governments in the USA won't let your exercise that freedom. We have some strange holdover laws from the prohibition era.
Immediately after Bryan provided the context that you just noped, Trump said:

> And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning.

You're saying he's saying "nothing" but in fact he's suggesting that disinfectant injections are worth trying
Lots of good points about living below your means. Also define what you want. I'd hate for someone to live a safe and secure life and minimize risk only to get shafted by the system in the end. Some risk is worth taking. Taking on debt in certain situations is worth it. You just need to get aware of life in the event of failure and take that into consideration.

It can usually be done. The problem is that people assume that now that you have that list of subtasks, you can iterate through them one at a time until you've built the feature. That's the major disconnect.

What I do with my guys is I make them decompose the feature, but with the understanding that they'll probably be jumping from one subtask to the other, back and forth, as they understand what it is they'll be building. AND they'll probably come across new subtasks as they work through the feature.

It makes Jira look crappy, but it Reflects Reality (tm) which to me is far more important than keeping Jira clean.
No, the write load is nearly constant. With a fixed-size buffer in the drive, you're pretty close to optimal use case for SMR. There's no source of variance except for where the SMR mechanism adds it, and that's analogous to a garbage collector sweep. Size and frequency depend on dirty rate.
You missed the point. Now that infections have spread so far, the level of lockdowns that would be necessary to bring the outbreak down to that level aren't even possible in an open society. But it will be a good approach to try during the early stage of the next pandemic.
>Capitalism doesn't mean an 'unregulated hellscape', capitalism requires a state to exist in order to defend the right to hold private property

Oh look everyone its another armchair economist who insists his conveniently specific definition of capitalism(You know the one that must be the case so his beliefs are not a self-inconsistent train wreck) is the absolute definition handed down to us by the word pope and sourced from a magic dictionary stored under his papal throne. The first time in the history of the internet.

According to my alternative word pope if every bit of ownership isn't private and it isn't devoid of regulation it can't be considered capitalism. See how easy it is to make up a definition then argue from it like its gospel.

Alternatively you could accept the much more reasonable circumstance that economies are messy things. Although some stress one economic principle more than another none can be purist in nature.

> 2. 12 Rules for Life - Jordan B Peterson

A note on this, since mentioning Peterson tends to spark controversy: I think I think the people who get the best out of Peterson don't treat him as a guru issuing rules written in stone tablets (in spite of the implication of the book title) but as a provoker of attention/reflection. This is probably generally true of anyone, but especially worth considering here.

I also tend to recommend his university course lectures over his public-directed material; I'm not sure why it seems more moderated, but I'd guess that professional accountability and contextual habits developed before fame have something to do with it.
I just wish they offered higher density displays. I'd love to try them out but I'm never going back to a 1080p display.
There are many fingers to point here, but I point mine at bigger consulting firms like Accenture. I have first hand experience with their miserable "agile" process at Microsoft.

If you want a stapler, you have to schedule a meeting 3 weeks in advance with 2 team leads and 3 contractors who decide what sprint "getting a stapler" will be assigned to. Then "getting a stapler" gets pushed back two sprints because some priority came along (a vice president somewhere just learned that his binder was on hold for four months). An Accenture contractor from India informs you that a hole punch is on the way. Apparently you checked the wrong box on the stapler requisition form, so you have to start the process over again.

Then the Accenture quarterly deck shows they met 97% of all stapler demands for the quarter! Isn't life so much more easier and more measurable now? But they will need to hire more contractors to keep up with capacity.

It's not the case that Rust's unsafe feature is there to facilitate the standard library. I'm still not clear if that's what you were saying.
As I understand it they've borrowed techniques from SSD firmware. Random writes are written to a linear cache area of the drive and transparently remapped. When the drive gets idle time it will rewrite the SMR zones where those blocks are supposed to go.

As a result the write speed of the drive is even faster than a non-SMR drive until the cache area fills up. If your workload does not try to write gigabytes of random junk without giving the drive any idle time, it will work great.
Scrum has always been the problem, IMO.
What you just said can't be packaged up and sold as training courses or countless books, which is why it hasn't prevailed.
I'm clearly not as deep as you in the reading of Aristotle (though I did read Nietzsche's BGE a long time ago). However, I'd point out the distinction from an ethics course I took between 'descriptive' ethics and 'normative' ethics. Both can coexist and they serve useful purposes.

The ethics of a group is the rule set agreed to by the group, including how to deal with deviations that naturally arise. This is more of a descriptive, evolutionary phenomenon. Normative ethics is more a proposal of an ideal or future ruleset, which needs to both appeal to those with the power to follow and enforce the rules, and to also ensure the preservation and stability of the rules and the people who follow them.
Click through for the PDF on their site to confirm based on model numbers whether a drive will be SMR. The capacity-based list on their site seems to be for models in current production, but there are still plenty of "old" drives available with those capacities that are CMR. So be sure to look closely at the model numbers!
Linked article states that all software installed on the laptop comes from the Fedora repos.
Three and a half years ago I looked into buying a Thinkpad with Linux. After not finding it on the web site I called the number listed there. It was a weekend. The person said Linux laptops are under commercial sales and gave me a number to call Monday during business hours. I never did and bought a Dell mobile workstation without Linux because it was a deal on the Dell Outlet. Don’t know if it’s still the case that Linux laptops are via commercial sales.

Today, I would just buy a Thinkpad and install Linux if I wanted a Thinkpad with Linux to the point I was ready to spend. It’s a simple problem to solve with little or no money depending on whether a Linux Thinkpad is cheaper. I’d rather spend a few minutes installing Linux than hours of shopping over multiple days. Or to put it another way, Google search doesn’t turn up a lot of pages with Linux on Thinkpad installation horror stories. At worst it will just be the usual Linux on a laptop friction.
I also have a P1Gen2, though I'm still on Ubuntu 19.10, haven't updated to 20.04 yet. For the most part it works fine:

- Haven't tried the fingerprint reader
- Multimonitor with the docking stations is extremely flaky. With various messing around with connecting/disconnecting cables, closing/opening the lid etc. I've occasionally gotten it to work, but not reliably.
- Fractional scaling is reportedly not working with the nvidia driver in 20.04. In 19.10 it does work, though it's not enabled by default, you have to set an option on the cmdline to make it appear in the GUI.
- And yeah, the entire multi-GPU thing is klunky, as you have to run the prime-select tool and reboot when switching.
I recently read that COVID-19 counts decline after near infrared irradiation of body tissue. The authors thought that this is due to the resulting nitric oxide increase in the blood. Alas, I can’t find the paper right now.
My work got me a system76 gazelle that was fully loaded and I love it. popOS is a great distro as well, plus they already think about problems that eat up devs time like managing tensorflow, cuda, and cudnn versions. They also provide a utility tool for using tensorflow docker images.
Shouldn't we wait and see what reports are before jumping to that conclusion? I'm generally willing to assume good faith until a company gives me reason to believe otherwise.

Expecting them to proactively contact customers and to recall all existing drives seems like an unreasonable ask.

Rule 12 caveat 1: If it lets you.
I very much enjoy making pizza (or pasta) in the evening after work. It's a great way to relax, watch something on the side and provides some kind of Italian style escapism where you enter semi-consciously a fantasy world of Mediterranean savoir vivre (what's the Italian term here?). In the end I enjoy (usually together with my girlfriend or guests) the result with a nice bottle of red wine which provides the elevating intoxication to round up the experience.

I like to experiment with my pizza and pasta recipes and place focus on trying to keep it simple. I believe that art benefits of some structure. Think rhyming patterns in poems or tonality in music. I'm aware of atonal music or not rhyming poetry but that's my point - it's a very different experience - more difficult. That's why I also like to not go and buy the best most expensive ingredients but instead attempt to restrict them to what I get from ALDI. Sometimes I'm just going crazy in some bio market and just buy the top notch stuff. But it seems that the taste is not that much depending on whether the tomatoes are from San Marzano or your run-of-the-mill variety from a regular super market.

My latest - not yet used - pizza gadget is an oven stone. Can't wait to find out how it will affect the outcome.
I think one of the hardest-to-replicate advantages of the big engines is ease of cross-platform builds/input/deployment. That was Unity's original killer-app (it's right in the name), and of course Unreal has caught up too. If you write a custom engine and you have any interest in targeting multiple platforms, you have to:

- Either figure out how to transpile the language you're using to the one for each target platform, or find a runtime for it that will run there.

- Write unifying input-handling code across platforms; treating all analog sticks (PC, Playstation, Xbox, Switch, maybe touch screen sticks) the same, treating touch on iOS and Android (and mouse input?) the same, etc.

- Manually hook it up to each platform's SDK that you might want to target; each game console, iOS and Android, the web, etc. Graphics, resource loading, network access, audio.

This can be a massive undertaking, which is why most indie games that don't use a major engine just stay on PC.

Whereas in Unity I can take an existing project, with little to no knowledge of Android development, with zero code changes, and plug in a device and click "build for Android" and have it running flawlessly on-device in 5 minutes. Same for an embedded Web version. Presumably the same for iOS and Xbox and Playstation and Nintendo Switch, though I haven't tried those personally. But that's an enormous differentiator if you have any interest at all in making your game cross-platform down the road. Even Godot, while it supports mobile, doesn't support consoles out of the box.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to even mention VR support. And cross-VR-platform support.
That's only true if the hospitals don't overload. If they overload, many more will die because they could have been saved with treatment.

What I find helpful as a product manager, I discuss each feature with engineers - and we collaboratively break it down into a bare-bones "MVP" version, but consider nice to haves as future stuff or TBD based on what we learn. That helps push scope down and manage holistic iteration. Every feature should have an MVP version of it. At least asking the question can help break down that first user story.

There's some hardware that surprisingly doesn't have a real shift but instead has rotate operations. These will take the bits that get dropped off and put them on the other side, in those cases the addition can be a much better choice than doing a bitmask and then rotate operation. These types of hardware are usually embedded devices that also have high cost multiplication instructions too so unrolling to a smaller number of fixed additions can actually perform better sometimes.

THAT said agile was a breath of fresh air at the time and it got us to question a lot of assumptions related to how we specify and develop software.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) Dr David Burns has moved away from saying "sorry" to patients and clients who are upset by something during therapy sessions; he says apologising with "sorry" is such a problem because it's a too-easy meaningless platitude that people throw out without any thought and expect it to act to immediately silence the other person's upset without any further discussion, and the person on the receiving end of "sorry" knows this common use and expects it to be a cheap dismissive silencer which they can't respond to, so apologising isn't the same as accepting responsibility, apologising without accepting responsibility is dismissive and trivialising, accepting responsibility is better without it. That apologising doesn't add to understanding, it takes away from it.

Accepting responsibility is understanding the other person's reasons for hurting, which means listening to them.

Apologising is trying to make the other person to stop hurting, and stop them from talking anymore so you don't have to hear more or spend more time on it.
We have seen their reaction so far. Why keep having faith on then given their behavior so far?
This is a great question. To me, the only answer is (as I believe you're alluding to) "who" is at fault is not relevant when compared to "what" is at fault. In this case, the problem is the lack of proper systems level integration testing, and neither Alice's nor Bob's code in isolation, and the "who" that ends up being at fault should be the management chain of command that allowed the state of things to allow such a scenario to occur. As management decides to want to prevent such embarrassing and costly blunders, they should resolve to invest more in the process and tooling that prevents such situations from being possible.

Of course, it is also possible for management to shirk such responsibility and push that responsibility (without corresponding process ownership) onto the ICs. It's quite common in low performing organizations.
Yeah my argument was that all the people who are buying those homes are significantly wealthier than the Bay Area median household.
So, it gets complex.

I have been privileged to work in a company that really thought about and worked to prioritize the four values on the left. I would follow those agile coaches to any place they wanted. I have been a staunch defender in real life and online, because I've seen it work very well. I also have been on teams with other processes and seen how much worse it can be.

I will take the values of agile and push for those, and I'll take the lessons learned such as quick feedback loops, continuous integration, relative estimation, automated tests (which came from people like Kent Beck and Robert Martin pushing them so hard alongside agile), and the good stuff.

However, after seeing how badly it can be weaponized against developers, I'm certainly ready to throw out the bathwater, and I think this is what they're talking about. I've seen far too much cargo cult agile and far too much command and control with a light layer of SCRUM.

We have agile "coaches" who have never learned to code! They take a set of color-by-number technical practices but don't understand how or why they matter! I had to correct someone's slide that got the four values wrong, and their consulting group apparently had been copying and pasting them incorrectly from presentation to presentation!

The values and principles of agile are great. The current implementation has some serious debt.

(And while we're at it, we could update it. Too many people misunderstood the documentation part. Continuous attention to technical excellence needs to be upgraded to a value. Delivering frequently today means days instead of weeks.)
If it were discovered that people systematically refuse to correct false claims about the efficacy of masks, that would hurt confidence in mask recommendations much more than any individual article could.

I agree that a headline like "Cloth masks are effective, but Masks4All is doing bad science" would have been better.

If you can find Flatpacks for most of your software, or if you don't often install new packages, silverblue is truly awesome. If you are installing an RPM tho you have to reboot to use it. If you are like me and have long-lived tmux sessions that you hate starting over with, the reboot is super annoying.

That said I may switch to Silverblue anyway at some point, because it really is amazing in many ways.

The problem with Agile is that vanilla Agile almost certainly doesn't fulfill your company's requirements. However, if you put some serious thinking into tuning it for what you need, it will be serviceable.

Agile would work much better if every implementation stated upfront, "Does not work right out of the box".
Thanks for this context. Here's the statement on McLaren's website: https://www.mclaren.com/group/news/articles/ventilatorchalle....
