You can get strong hinting by changing hintstyle to hintstrong in fontconfig. It doesn't match Windows completely, but for some fonts it's close.

Infinality-fontconfig used to be the thing for emulating the font rendering of other operating systems, I haven't kept up since freetype merged the various interpreter tweaks that used to be proprietary. I'm sure you can pass options to fontconfig/freetype to tweak it to your liking.

I stick to hintslight now and I'm perfectly happy with the results.
Coming with privacy tools, exploitation of the privilege is bound to take place. It sucks to see it happen, especially to a community I have particularly fond associations with.

Let this be a lesson though, if you're planning to spend any money anywhere, do some further investigation. This means checking for explicit contact information, as mentioned here. Even any kind of social media presence will do.

Even more so with fursuits, they cost several thousands, dropping that without any prior research is not advisable, and I think that goes without saying.

IQ Test Answers Explained – Updated 2020
Here's the thing: interviews are stressful and unnatural and they provoke anxiety and a fight-or-flight response in a lot of people. That fight-or-flight response shuts down parts of the brain that evolution considers unnecessary in an emergency situation, including the pre-frontal cortex - the part of the brain that you need to perform reasoning and to think of questions that you might want to ask. A good interviewer will know this.

I've interviewed a lot of people who were obviously nervous and who didn't have any questions to ask me at the end but whom we hired and who ended up doing really well in the job.

That said, if you do want to have something to ask the interviewer and you're worried that your mind will go blank, write down some questions ahead of time in a notebook that you take to the interview and refer to it if necessary. An added bonus is that you can ask about things that you actually care about, rather than just asking asking the first thing that comes into your head.

YMMV I guess. But the article talks about asking questions during a (hiring) interview. I don't see it the same as asking a question during a meeting.
I had the same experience with that very problem. Didn't understand it before I programed it.
It's not really a swear....
It's the name of the problem, name of the font and to me one of the first cases I heard about.
A central point of the article is to acknowledge the clumsiness of the categories.

It specifically mentions co-morbidities and such. It mentions that hundreds if not thousands of genes are involved and that this was pointed out by a study which contrasted the obviously genetic conditions of epilepsy and multiple sclerosis with disorders like bipolar or schizophrenia.

> This article reveals the folly of viewing a complex system (the mind) through a mechanistic lens.

Nobody is saying that current research views the mind through a mechanistic lens. The article is explicitly saying, "hey, this is a complex problem – let's observe and analyse the phenomena"

> We want to be able to look at the mind the way we look at a malfunctioning car ("ah, the timing belt's out") or computer ("one of the memory sticks died"), repair/replace that component and expect it to carry on as "normal".

Says who? The article is not saying this. The argument that researchers have an unsophisticated model of the brain/mind and its corresponding disorders is frequently put forward to justify a rejection of conventional therapy – which is what you end up doing, surprise surprise.

> The discussion in this article seems astonishingly simplistic and naïve to anyone who has read/heard any of the many researchers who have spent years examining mental "illness"

That's a gross mischaracterization of the article, which says:

“Researchers are also drastically rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, discrete categories such as ‘anxiety’ or ‘psychosis’ has been disproved to a large extent. Instead, disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividing lines — as Plana-Ripoll’s study so clearly demonstrated”

So when you say

> So, trying to categorise "disorders" into discrete definitions with distinct "causes" in order to restore the mind to some "normal" state cannot possibly work.

Yeah, nobody's trying to do that. Researchers are clearly aware of that.

I'm happy for you that whatever mental disorders you were suffering from seem to be receding but the attitude that mental health researchers are stuck is a conventional rut needs to be put to bed. If you're going to refute an article at least refute what the article says and not what you claim it says.

Hi! I am a Full-Stack developer with the majority of my experience in web development. I am looking for opportunities to learn new skills, and where I will be entrusted with ownership over my projects. One thing I enjoy, is creating new applications (or refactoring old ones) where I can be a part of deciding and researching the best architecture for the task. Previously I have worked well with a remote team, but I have also worked on multiple projects by myself.

If you want someone who loves to learn and experimenting with different technologies to find the best suitable solution to a problem, and who is not afraid of making decisions either with a team or independently, feel free to reach out.

I'm finding WFH incredibly distracting for an odd reason: my home office is where I work on my side hustle.

Having to share my innovation space with work work is jarring, and I'm having a lot of difficulty disentangling the two. I now spent a lot of my work day thinking about my startup since I'm in the place where I used to do that in isolation. Ultimately I'm now a lot less productive at both. It's driving my focus and energy down.

Kinesis is just a very very poor Kafka.

They wanted to have a Kafka but they also had this silly idea that everything needed to be HTTP so they built a poor clone with a HTTP interface.

Unless forced into it by some other system there is never any reason to consider Kinesis over Kafka or Pulsar.
Not handwavy. They were specific. The article makes this exact point:

“In the genes
------------

One pillar of this future approach is a better understanding of the genetics of mental illness. In the past decade, studies of psychopathological genetics have become large enough to draw robust conclusions.

The studies reveal that no individual gene contributes much to the risk of a psychopathology; instead, hundreds of genes each have a small effect. A 2009 study found that thousands of gene variants were risk factors for schizophrenia. Many were also associated with bipolar disorder, suggesting that some genes contribute to both disorders.

This is not to say that the same genes are involved in all brain disorders: far from it. A team led by geneticist Benjamin Neale at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and psychiatrist Aiden Corvin at Trinity College Dublin found in 2018 that neurological disorders such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis are genetically distinct from psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression (see ‘Mental map’).”
I mean, if you pulled it out on a discussion not about swear words or something like that in civilized society, civility would go out the window (because you would've tossed it out the window), so it seems _more_ of a swear word to me in modern times than the ordinary fuck, shit, etc

Well, it's hardly a new issue.

Hardware support and lack of polishing has always been an issue in the Linux world and all distributions have suffered from it one way or another.

Having spent quite a lot of time in the past on this kind of issues, I do sympathize.

But from my experience, things actually tends to get a bit better now days, for example, I'm far less cautious about avoiding Broadcom ethernet and wifi cards as they generally tends to work out of the box today (even if I still prefer Intel for these).

Fighting hardware/default configuration issues is unfortunately be part of the game, but in my experience, it's a game I play less and less often.
For those unfamiliar with the the general subject, the author is CEO of Vercel (Zeit until recent VC funding), a company that provides "serverless" hosting, especially for Nextjs, an open source Reactjs (Facebook) framework. Among other things, Nextjs makes it easy to segment a React app at build time into parts that are either server side rendered (SSR) or static (which can be "hoisted" onto a CDN). In the same declarative fashion, data can either be fetched from the server for the SSR components, from the browser client (e.g. to reduce server load and useless hops), or "prefetched" at build time for components that can be static like blog posts, documentation, a top 10, etc. Interestingly, the Vercel Nextjs and Google Chrome teams have collaborated... from memory: to reduce bundle sizes and to stream assets after initial render for better performance.

"If the model establishes a system where the people who are prepared to use the most violence end up with the land, and a couple of generations their descendants still have the land, then IMHO the model is still in play."

This is not about land ownership. Alone. You are talking about exclusive political and economic systems. In an exclusive system it's not just the ownership of land that is broken - you will find all economic activity is rigged against some segment of the society. Most well to do states are have inclusive political and and economic systems. In these societies land ownership is based on land registration and enforceable contract law - not entitlement of birth and violence.

When is it worth it? They tested many theories, and many of them were proven wrong, and some were proven right. What price can you attach to having this knowledge? Is there a maximum price tag for potentially knowing more about the universe?

Haha, but not everybody knows it and a lot of different opinions exist on how awful it is or what even classifies as awful.

Mars can retain water vapor just fine. It occasionally snows lightly.

Without a magnetic field (which could be built easier than terraforming), over 100 million years, it can slowly lose atmosphere, but nothing like a relevant rate for humans. The sun is also getting significantly hotter on a similar timescale, which makes habitation on Venus (And Earth, for that matter) significantly harder and dependent on active geoengineering methods.
The problem in this case is not land ownership but exclusive political and / or economic system which rigs the game against a certain percentage of a population on all fronts.
Oh this is really good!

I've always been looking for sensible ways to talk about conspiracy theories. It's hard because as soon as you push back on them the immediate response is to accuse you of being part of it.
I would think that Venus would have a lot of precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, titanium, etc. As well as rare earth metals.

It would be a great opportunity to one day build a strip mining colony on Venus, and ship those metals to Earth, and build future space colonies. But it might be easier to find some random floating asteroids that contain all those valuable metals.

I think the most important ingredient that Venus does have, is gravity, that’s near similar to Earth. This means that humans can live on the ground, and not be subjected to mass and bone deterioration of living on Mars.

But first, we’ll need to solve some engineering problems, like how to cool the place down. Maybe throw up some solar shades, and harvest the sun.

I built a PC in 2005 with an Nvidia graphics card and ran Debian on it exclusively. I had a lot of trouble with that graphics card over the years, but that wasn't caused by Debian, but rather by Nvidia, because they did neither offer nor even support open source drivers. My conclusion was to not buy any Nvidia product again, until they offer proper open source drivers for it. Since I retired this PC I haven't owned any Nvidia product anymore and I couldn't be happier. Sure the drivers for other graphics cards aren't perfect either, but at least I don't have to deal with binary blobs anymore where nobody except of the manufacturer can fix issues.

True, but all code ages out, and I wouldn’t expect the average LAMP stack site to have adjusted to the REST-powered react world any better than a rails app would. When use cases change, huge parts of a code base should be rewritten (otherwise it was duplicated work to begin with)

That said: good, modular, well-developed frameworks evolve alongside their use cases. Django with DjangoRestFramework is an excellent choice for many API use cases, and the migration path is about as painless a major architectural overhaul can be.

>Interviews are the opportunity to meet an interesting person, learn about them, talk about their interests, and sell them on the chance to work at your company.

And all of that is a great way to introduce a ton of unconscious bias into your interviewing process. You should be spending your time in the interview focusing on determining if the candidate meets the requirements to do the job. Being interesting, having interests you find interesting, etc. are presumably not requirements for the position you're interviewing them for. When you find out they have (or do not have) shared interests with you, as a human being, you're wired introduce bias into your decision making process, whether you intend to or not.

Interviews SHOULD be boring in the repetitive sense. The interview should be tailored to the position, and not the person you're interviewing.

> Everyone prepare or get help to prepare and then actually have a lock down for 2-3 weeks and beat this virus.

I don't think it's quite that easy. Wuhan shut down on January 25th, and they were still seeing 500 new cases a day by the end of February. This was despite a very strict lockdown, and a serious effort to find and isolate all the mild cases until they got better. Something like 80% of transmission was within households. Nobody was going out to party. Once this thing gets started, it's a beast to stop, taking something like 5 to 8 weeks bring a major urban cluster mostly under control.

Our state has been lucky so far. We have about 1 new case per 100,000 people per day, and less than 2% of our tests are coming back positive. So we're preparing to move ahead with contact tracing and a staged reopening.
The question is, what kind of other interesting knowledge might we acquire with ten billion?
