Nevertheless, the underlying logic stands: the whole point of evolving light skin was to get the necessary beneficial effects of sunlight (including vitamin D) in climates with drastically less sun.

The fact that sun was so important evolutionarily that whole populations literally turned white to get more of it really says something.

Of course the point of the article is that it's not just vitamin D, but a whole host of other effects.

The reason to use a Mac is because the hardware and the trackpad are so good! The OS in general is pretty good, with multi-touch gestures and homebrew [1] picking up a lot of the slack. I just bought a new (2020) MacBook Air and it's the best computer I've ever owned (bought my first computer in 1996). The keyboard is fantastic now! No Touch Bar either; only real F-keys and a real escape key.

Yes, the killing of 32-bit apps in Catalina and the code signing issues are very frustrating. It's still worth it though. People are finding ways around it. The biggest annoyance (for me) has been the breakage of 32-bit Wine. I bought a license for Crossover [2] though, so it should hold me over until the upstream Wine has 32-bit-on-64 support working.

Union. That's the only answer. Workers of any kind and level have little to no leverage. Only a union can get that leverage.
Wow this is interesting! Does that means technically we could have any OSX app compiled for windows while still retaining OSX-like appearance? Did Apple ever released this AppKit windows port for others to use? Does apple still maintaining the port for MacOS as well or did it die along with Safari for windows?

Sure, but then it's no longer purely stateless, and honestly no more isolated than, say, a Django app (assuming it hasn't been deliberately broken to share state across requests).
I'd guess it's mostly to maintain morale among the remaining employees. People who are on the fence between staying or leaving are a bit more likely to stick around if they know they'll get a severance package if they're laid off but nothing if they quit.

You can't tell by looking at the controls whether Safari is using the native control implementation (it isn't). All you can tell is that the Webkit implementation looks like and acts like the native implementation.
I believe the use of open source tools to accomplish their tasks is interesting.
Using "living off the land" open source tools also hinders researchers when trying to attribute an attack to a certain country.

I found malware that was installed remotely on to millions of Android users under the government "Life Line" program that also used readily available open-source code found on GitHub.

The malware used an open sourced virtualization shared object library (.so) named "VirtulApp" and also an open source software development kit called "TalkingData"

Both code sources were found on GitHub.

The malware in question hides its icon from the users screen but can be found under Settings/Apps but shows an icon for a well-known "Antivirus/Cleaner" app that has been removed from the Google Play store many times.
The malware also shares much of the cleaner app's SDK's and excessive permissions.

The malicious app also contains several encrypted files in its assests directory that are decrypted into executable java .jar files to expand it's functionality.

Kaspersky Labs names this particular malware variant "Necro"

Many folks are booking family vacations like crazy using current low prices and hoping to leverage rebooking flexibility. So there will definitely be at least some pent-up demand. This demand could evaporate though if folks who consider their jobs safe start feeling insecure.

Eh, not sure about that. IBM went downhill fairly quickly once they stopped getting the cream of the crop. Oracle was able to stave off problems for a while, but only because of the lock-in issue. Amazon doesn't have the benefit of lock-in (with the exception of some parts of AWS).

It summarises the evidence from a number of papers. That exact quote comes from one, but the "Age" section alone includes 5 references to skin damage (not including those for melanoma).

Asking "apparent age" seems a reasonable first step in assessing something as vague as "visible signs of aging"

Try automating signing a windows driver. It's all GUI.

I sometimes wish there was a way to demand the same level of proof for claims of readability and productivity that we demand for claims about performance.

Measuring before optimizing is of course a good idea, but it's also time consuming. There's a lot of latitude to make different reasonable choices about how you write code down in the first place before you get to the measuring staging.

Should we criticize someone who reaches for a for loop because they know it doesn't allocate without proving that that matters more than someone who reaches for a map because they think it's more readable and productive without any great way of proving that that's true?
I dislike sunscreen and I dislike having to use it all the time, but the reality is that if I'm under the full sun here in California for more than 10 minutes I'll get a sunburn and after a few more we're talking bubbles and water, i.e. a serious large burn. Long term disease risk is really a secondary concern for me, I can't have half my body covered in burns all the time. I'm not some crazy outlier, but more like your regular guy from Scandinavia or what people in central Europe might call "northern type" informally.
Hey team, posted this for people who have recently been laid off.

Joe and I wrote this in better times, so the videos are perhaps a bit too positive for the feeling today.

Yet, I think the material is more then relevant, and will help you land strong prospects in this time. This contains all the lessons we learned negotiating offers in the mid to high six figure range. Learning to portray your narrative and to communicate your level can be critical, especially in this time.

I hope it helps.

This metaphor is actually really spot on.

He has on the tiniest of ideas of what he's doing; he might be breaking the law; he's audacious and realized he could just do it; he wants to be in California because that's where dreams come true; he's probably from an upper middle class white family with parents who didn't pay him enough attention.

And he's doing it all because he wants a status symbol of wealth and prosperity, and someone told him he couldn't.
I get it then, thanks, you'd pay a few bucks to get the analytics of who scanned the code, makes sense.
This hit me hard for some reason and really put things in perspective. You can never take your career for granted and assume it's guaranteed.

This is exactly correct. I helped create the system used by US telcos to track users. We had GPS precision tracking on all users and used big data to geolocate that data against other users, retail establishments, and road locations. This was not nefarious. We used it to find and fix tower, highway issues and market to companies. Users agreed to it as part of their service contract.

We were required to sell the data to the government on demand due to CALEA and similar legislation.

Those who complain endlessly about AANG largely seem to have no idea of how our communications networks actually work.
Your location, activities, banking, etc. are not private, will never be private, have never been private, and it has nothing to do with AANG. The 3 AANG that I have worked are woolly lambs. That F guy is a bit suspicious, but I don't have first hand knowledge.
I'm a fair skinned Aussie, who doesn't really like sunscreen.

I can 100% understand nl's position - skin cancer is really prevalent here, and the sun can be incredibly harsh. The skies here are usually completely cloudless, and we're affected by the ozone hole too. Skin cancer is a big deal here. The aboriginal people are very dark, which should be a big hint as to the amount of UV we get, and that will have been selected for from before the ozone hole.

I keep track of UV levels on my personal dashboard, so I know when it's dangerous or not. Previously I was overly cautious, but now I can enjoy time outdoors with skin exposed without the worry of burning, and get gentle UV exposure over my whole body for the vit D.

Personally I prefer to cover up rather than use sunscreen. I don't like the feel of sunscreen, and when covered up there is no risk of the sunscreen slowly washing away. I do use sunscreen on exposed areas, such as hands, face, and feet.

Here are the UV widgets I use.

A sunscreen that blocks UVB, harm marine life [1] and can cause allergic airways inflammation [2] when breathed (inevitable when it dries on your skin) is hardly the best sunscreen in my option.

There is no right to the notice period in the US. They can fire you on the spot.
Canada is probably one of the countries most similar to the US in terms of the divide between the federal and provincial government, and it's healthcare system is largely managed by the provinces/territories. It works fine, different provinces have different funds and different needs so they have their own system. Also it is a lot easier to get started at a provincial/territory/state level than trying to get a national system working all at once.

I judge other media when they're promoting excess, particularly when it's harming others on the planet. I find Lamborghinis viscerally disgusting in the same way as a 5000-calorie burger, or a thousand-dollar bottle of champagne being sprayed over a wall.

(This is not about expensive cars in general. Lamborghinis are not bought to be fast, or comfortable, or manoeuvrable. They're bought to be big and loud and consume a lot of gas.)

We do a lot of gpu server stuff and are victims of Apple vs Nvidia BD teams being broken. The remote solution we came to is VS Code's remote mode that tunnels over ssh (dir list, edits, git tracking, ...) yet maintains your normal native IDE responsiveness.

You are not wrong, but, given the low skill of warehouse workers there is always someone to take the job. If you unionize without incentivizing new workers to stop applying your effort will be wasted, especially with a company the size of amazon. Stopping scabs is literally the lynch pin of the plan.

You vastly underestimate how little of a shit is given by Millennial and Gen Z travelers.

Outside of the bubble of Bay Area and North East tech industries, a lot of younger people couldn’t care less, especially when seeing how insanely low the mortality/hospitalization rate is for their age group. Before I get the lecture, I know that them spreading it is also a risk, spare me.

People who think no one is going to travel this summer are deeply deeply entrenched in their preachy sanctimonious echo chamber of friends. Go look at how many young people were having picnics in groups at NYC parks this past weekend and then tell me no ones going to travel this summer. Get real.
I am a Norwegian German mix and fairly white. Living in Wisconsin for the winters was difficult. The overcast weather and low sun on the horizon tended to make me feel pretty low.

Having moved to Florida, I get as much sun as I can take and haven’t experienced some of the lows I had in previous Wisconsin winters. I wear a straw hat, breathable long sleeve shirts and long pants to moderate my sun exposure. I have spent more time outdoors and away from cities. All together, I feel less stressed at 38 than I have in years. I attribute it to being out in the elements, WFH and pushing outside my comfort zone. It just feels better to be out here, anchored next to Cape Canaveral.
Even companies that have decided to start on a cloud vendor and then found product market fit, grew their in house competencies, and then decided to build out their own data centers didn’t express “regret” for starting on the cloud provider. At that point they were well capitalized enough to move off.

Even almighty Amazon took a decade to move off of Oracle. Concentrating on avoiding being tied to Oracle early on instead of building a business would have been silly.

Trying to avoid “vendor lock in” when you’re still trying to grow your business, when your focus should be trying to acquire customers, and raise revenue and profit is the ultimate premature optimization.
Yeah young children are pretty bad drivers, I can attest to that. Sometime around age 4 I swiped my dad’s car keys from the kitchen table (I recall I had to climb a chair to reach the top of the table). I think I wanted to mimic how adults operated cars.

Luckily, I didn’t make it far. When I finally got it into gear I crashed into the viaduct paralleling our house blocking the road until another motorist found me.

My parents didn’t spank us often but I sure caught hell for that stunt and my allowance was garnished for a very long time!
Without the development of a vaccine, there’s no limit to how long cohabitated workspaces will remain categorically untenable for knowledge work.

The risk of recurrences and spike, cooccurrence with the flu, etc., is just too high. These spaces cannot be fitted with fully private office space per each individual and plexiglass guards and floor marking aren’t going to solve shit. Communal food areas have to stay closed. One at a time at the coffee machine. 5 at a time on the elevator, 2 at a time on the stairs - it’s just not gonna work.

Simply put, there has to be a medical basis for unequivocal treatment or immunity. Nothing prior to that could allow a path for these types of work spaces.
You have a good point, of course.

I find myself simultaneously admiring the kid's chutzpah, horrified at what could have gone wrong, and grateful that nothing did.

At least he didn't move fast and break things!
Lisp macros have runtime overhead? I don't think reader macros or compile macros have any runtime overhead unless you add it yourself.

More flexible input syntax than a programmable reader? Data like sexps and edn is pretty flexible to begin with, but a lot of lisps have fully programmable readers for arbitrary syntax. Some lisps even support grammar dialects to switch out of sexps entirely (such as racket).

Well, if you had an AI aware car, then this would’ve prevented that from happening. Thus saving your 5-year-old life.

Yep, I’m fair skinned (Scots-Irish heritage) and live in the US south (North Carolina). If I’m very careful to build up my sun exposure all spring I can tolerate moderate amounts of sun without burning... but if I went out tomorrow for even an hour in direct sun anywhere near mid-day, I’d have a major sunburn. I’ve been more careful to use sunscreen for the last decade or so after seeing my dad’s experience with skin cancers. His aren’t the “serious” kind but basically every time I see him he has fresh scars from having cancerous spots cut or burned off. No thanks.
If an adversary can get user access, they generally are able to also get root access (via social engineering or a local vulnerability). They'd also be able to read the memory of the web browser, or file contents. This is because on an average desktop, all the programs running as user have read/write access to each other.

On mobile OSes, capabilities are enabled by default. Even Symbian already had such. OpenBSD utilizes pledge to minimize impact.
Thanks for this perspective. It really helps the noobs trying to build more than single user stuff.

To help control my sun exposure, I use UV widgets on my dashboard.

They help me know when I can expose as much skin as possible to get gentle exposure everywhere, and when I'll burn in 5 minutes.

It's interesting, the heat of the sun and the actual risk of burning don't seem to be 100% correlated.

I find it really helpful to have actual knowledge of what the sun is doing at any one time, instead of having to guess and under or over exposing myself.

I've listed the widgets I use below for Australia, I'm sure you can find them for your location too.
