It depends on the speed of the CPU - if you look at the archive at https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85227, you'll find a DOSBox config specifically for this demo. If you run it in DOSBox you can fiddle with the emulation speed by pressing C-F11 and C-F12 and you'll notice the speed of the animation change.

Later: Your question made me wonder what the performance of virtual 'target CPU' is - the 'cycles' setting in the config is 20000 and there's a rough estimate of what these numbers translate to here

These are really good points and I agree with the idea of what you're saying 100%. I also agree with the specifics of Amazon and where they have clearly gone past the "nice guy" line.

I would love to hear if there are examples of companies that have "done everything right" that are still loved. I feel like there is a natural journalistic hatred towards anyone very large (and sometimes it is totally deserved). Perhaps there are no pure large companies and that's why...or perhaps most business decisions are tradeoffs where either side won't please everyone and that just opens up room for attack. I really don't know the answer (even if we agree that Amazon deserves the negative press).
No, that device does it using the thing called DPAF https://ai.googleblog.com/2017/10/portrait-mode-on-pixel-2-a...

The iPhone XR technique described in the link does that too. And it'll usually be better (than the monocular thing).
There's no feasible way to "let" a virus spread faster than another. Some spread faster than others naturally, and some mitigation tactics (c.f. masks vs. gloves vs. hand washing vs. social isolation) work differently against different viruses. But there's no way to pick a specific strain and say "we want everyone to get that one".

Now, you might culture it in a lab and then inject it into people deliberately so they develop antibodies that then work against the "true" virus. This technique is called "vaccination".

This is a report on some progress on one particular vaccine type. But it's minor progress. What we need is an attenuated strain. What this shows is just that there are some spreading strains with gene deletions (which is the kind of mutation which tends to produce attenuated strains). There's a lot of work to get from there to a vaccine.
The bleak reality is that living standards need to fall in developing economies to reduce global carbon emissions, at least with current technologies. Otherwise, increased living standards in developing economies will replace the developed economies reduced emissions due to sheer population size and growth.

> Important point many are missing: Folktales were not originally for children. They were told among adults after children had gone to sleep.

Do you have any evidence for this? Nothing I’ve ever read in anthropology supports it. When most children die before their fifth birthday, the average family lives in one room and a family is rich if they have two beds, a table and six good chairs people think very differently than the fabulously wealthy Victorians. And they were pretty much ok with children working in factories or as chimney sweeps.

Life used to be nasty, brutish and short. Attitudes were substantially less delicate as a result.
In the old days people were part of families which were part of communities and they would all take care of each other if something like this happened. We've obviously gone far far away from that. I wonder if we will start moving back toward that sort of society?

Tea/coffee is quite common here in India, for me it was (and still is) part of morning breakfast. Even for 2-3 year old kids. At my home, tea is prepared at least thrice a day. I tried quitting, but didn't try too hard because of headaches. I've managed to bring it down to once per day since last few years, unless it is too cold a day and I succumb to a second cup in the evening. Fortunately, I never liked the taste carbonated soft drinks.
> * Does it look like a product web page? Because that's advertising.*

Oh boy.

I guess your comments are advertisement about advertising too, then.

This forceful insistence that someone is influenced by advertising even when they repeatedly say they aren't, just affirms the possibility that the ad industry is a sham and a con.

Most people are numb to advertising, not influenced by it.
You seem to have conflated "Amazon the corporation" with "Amazon's labor force". They are not the same, but it is intriguing that you would take this line of rhetoric.

I shop at the local food co-op, and I'm fine with the union leadership for flight attendants and my local waste removal folks. I can't be perfect -- no one can -- but this is a lot better than some others. Of course, this sort of individualistic atomization of "virtue" with almost zero systemic change to address the underlying concerns is ultimately kind of pointless, but I don't see a reason to start encouraging the exploitation of fellow humans any more than I do now.

Your response makes me think you were triggered by my position. What stake do you hold with Amazon? Why are you coming to their defense?
The question is, is it worth it?

I'm starting to feel behind the curve and I want to learn new stacks like Next.js, Typescript and GraphQL. Anyone else feeling this way or have already gone through that learning curve?
My dad grew up in the 60s and went from the milk bottle to the coke bottle. My parents were more strict with me on soda, but most of my friends had free reign on the beverage and were not drinking water at all. We all turned out fine, minus a few teeth.

I can pair my bluetooth headphones to different devices with the click of a button (eg. when leaving the desk etc). I can be connected to my phone and the Laptop at the same time. It's very convenient when making phone calls on the go or listening to navigation on the bike without messing with cables. I am not an Audiophile but have two decent pairs of Bluetooth headphones with subjectively great audio quality.
For me personally, it is a huge step up in convenience, i would never go back to have another wire on the desk or under my clothes.

Resistance to state actors is a pretty high bar.
Tu quouque doesn’t make an argument.

Gutting humanities in favor of “practical” degrees is short-sighted in the extreme. The problem with humanities is not that it doesn’t provide value to the community, the problem is that it is difficult to monetize skills in the humanities.

There is a pathology that larger organizations often develop where they start investing only in ideas that where they can measure the impact on the time scale of a performance review cycle. For example, any project where the results can’t be measured in one or two quarters might be dead on arrival, depending on what company you work for.

The same kind of short-term, narrow-minded thinking is what makes people dismiss humanities.

Ha, interesting!... We have several common answers.

I might have put Bolsonaro's Brazil in there, along with a strong authoritarian turn (but the lure of wealth is a strong populist stance, especially if you can deliver soon(tm), and China would have huge freed capacity to intake massive partners (factories etc) once the West is gone).

It's striking to me that many could choose China not for China but rather against the US. They say "the devil you know..." but I wonder, if said devil scares the hell out of you, you might just try your luck with another one. (case for Africa notably)

See why I fear blocks... Could devolve into a cold-WWI way too soon way too fast. And from there... ah, better not think ahead too soon.
Sweden COVID-19 numbers are much lower than the flu numbers in the years before. Now they are at 2000 deaths total, in the years before they were at 1800 weekly. That's almost everywhere, besides a few outliers which need to be studied. The global trend is that it is a very weak flu season, despite there's no vaccine, no proper treatment (ventilators turning up wrong at the end of the wave) and extremely high spread (R0 of 5). Turns out people's immune reaction can fight SARS-CoV-2 much better than the normal influenza strains, for which vaccination exist. Maybe because it's so close to the common cold our body is accustomed to.

Everybody likes to play the numbers and curves games, but don't make it political by deliberately faking it. Like the NY Times or FT curves lately.

Even euromomo.eu changed its curves recently so they do lookh more dramatic. Not backed by the absolute numbers. They suddenly invented 32.000 unaccounted new deaths out of the magicians hat, not telling us were these new numbers came from. Some countries forbid pathologies on COVID-19 cases and forbid classification post-mortem. But this only applies to elderlies dying at home alone. But this would only apply to countries like the US with no healthcare system. Like the New Jersey case of 70 seniors. Everybody else goes to the hospitals.

> In older societies, people see a lot more violence/blood toward animals.

Older societies? Every farming family in Western Europe would have been familiar with how to slaughter and process their own animals until the 60s at the earliest. There are very few people more than three generations removed from agriculture, and most of those would have seen animals slaughtered up until the rise of industrial cold chains in the early 1900s.

Why not node.js instead of Django? In general I feel node.js community is more active in terms of web development. And you don't need to do context switch between node and python. I would go with GraphQL, the part that I like the most is the schema. You don't need to maintain doc now. There is also a playground, you can do integration test easily during development.

If you feel bad about all the boilerplate code you need to write in server side. There are many node libs/blackbox services that can help you, such as prisma, hasura. You can also take a look at a lightweight library that makes your life easier when building GraphQL server: https://github.com/charlie0077/graphql-server-crud/

I am the author of that library.

>spread in places like the Bay Area may have started as early as January

This is known for certain in Seattle. The first case was in mid-January[1], then six weeks passed before the big outbreak started and genetic sequencing showed that the virus was directly descended from that original case six weeks earlier[2], indicating that there had been ongoing transmission throughout the community for the past six weeks.

>> Every couple of days there is a bitchfest on here about idiot managers demanding exact prognoses on software development projects, and then we all agree that because there are unknown unknowns, that's pretty much impossible.

That's not what I - or most people - are asking for. We're asking for something akin to the agile product cycle. Give us blocks of time you are spending on the problem, tell us what you are doing in that block of time in a transparent and modular way, and tell us how much time per project you are spending and what you hope to accomplish in that time period.

It's... pretty simple. No one is asking Gov. Newsom to say "we'll be back in business in 4 weeks" but he's got to do better than zero data and zero transparency.
My experience is different. Companies do interesting things nowadays to keep their “tech talent”. Maybe with Corona things have changed
Typescript is really easy to learn. You can turn it on, throw your existing JS at it, and then gradually increase the strictness level as you add typing information. It's a very painless transition.

How to Install Ubuntu Alongside with Windows 10 or 8 in Dual-Boot
The purpose of tokio was to add asynchronous support to Rust in the absence of async features (it predates them). It has since added std-like async interfaces. It is the most mature.

async-std aims to do that last sentence as cleanly as possible, without having to support a legacy interface. I found it builds faster because of that and that's why I chose it.

smol (the new kid in the block) aims to async-ify network types by simply wrapping them in Async<T>. It also aims to be as few lines of code as possible.

They are all different approaches to the same problem. The ability to experiment with different approaches is precisely why Rust doesn't have a prescribed async runtime (or prescribed error types, or many other things).

If merely solving the problem is all you care about, pick tokio. It should be able to use async-std crates, but async-std can't use it. smol can use anything but is a bit unproven.

My consumption has gone down to one dose in the morning since the pandemic, but before when I still had a life it was far higher.

You can set your clock to my comedown. Usually I'll need another dose at lunch, especially if I'm to be engaging with other people. If I'm doing something after work I'll need another dose at four, then however late the day runs I'll be needing to take a caffeine pill every four hours or else I'll enter a pretty thick mental fog or start sleeping sitting upright.

That mental fog and falling asleep still happens since I'm not taking the afternoon pills, I've just been leaning into napping like a toddler while working from home. Sometimes I'll doze off with a line half written in terminal, wake up and just go right back to typing the rest of the command.

I very much disagree that it does. The core pitfalls are pretty specific to JS, and don't exist in Rust.

In Rust you can easily call an "async colored" function from a "sync colored" one by running it to completion with the executor of your choice. With that you can prevent async bleeding all over your codebase.
