Not sure what language you are using but CEF was good for Chrome under C#. Might be available under C++ too I think.

There was an equivalent Gecko one for Firefox but I could never get it working correctly so deferred to CEF under Visual Studio (think there's a nuget package for it, conveniently).

Also wxWidgets under C++ offers ability to host a local WebView instance or Trident with wxWebView.

For COVID related updates I always go right to the source if there is one for the new update and evaluate from there, and if there is no source then disregard it. So, if there's an article about sars-cov-2 being scientifically proven to cause XYZ or whatever, see what the paper they're citing is, and from there you've got a few heuristics (is it already peer-reviewed, is it still a preprint in which case take it with a grain of salt, are there other studies that corraborate it, and so on). Otherwise, I just ignore/filter out pandemic news and videos, fact checking every random thing that pops up is way too energy and time intensive and there's no point letting yourself be influenced by the headlines/constant barrage of changing information. Especially for the conspiracy-type stuff (it came from a lab, it is a bioweapon, it was covered up), their truth is currently irrelevant. It doesn't matter if COVID came from a bat in a wet market or a lab accident since what matters now is dealing with it now that it's here, and all that finger-pointing is basically just political distraction. Far more productive to be up to date on vaccine efforts, drug efforts, what people are finding in terms of whether or not ventilators should be used, how the hospital system is coping, if there's a way to help through any of the local 3d printing groups, etc etc
Interesting. I've turned quite a number of non-technical friends/family into Signal users, just by telling them, "Here's the messaging app I'm using if you want to talk to me..." without mention of encryption until they're already hooked. Uniformly comments have been favourable concerning ease-of-use and quality of voice/video calls (at least compared to what they're already used to -- generally Zoom or Skype), and several of them have pushed it out to their networks in turn.
You can study the effect of taxes and benefits separately since they happen to different people. This won't prove anything about inflation, but there are other things people have been concerned about.

In particular, there are people who say that if you give people money with no strings attached they will just spend it on alcohol or drugs, and it's good to have evidence for a more nuanced view.
Really? Why is everyone using FB, google?
Academia is geared towards paper publishing, so why would they bother with code quality? Even if in the long run it would benefit them, its at best a nice to have. Most academia doesn't share code or data anyway.

It's like saying that programmers are professional English writers, so comments and such should be written in perfect English.

IMHO the only valid criticism is if the the simulation modelling is sound and implemented accurately.

I launched it last June but it was a webApp. Time have passed and the project has switched to native apps to offer what Google (and the web) can't offer: offline first and end-to-end encryption.

So it offers the same services as Google, but with better (in my opinion) features.

Nor am I. I'm sorry you feel like you're getting picked on here. This general topic is a huge issue for the future of FOSS contributors. What you responded with is clearly not egregious (e.g. i've seen people say things like "hey I submitted a ticket on GitHub 3 months ago and no response, WTF!?!?"...that is VERY BAD), but every little bit hurts.

It depends on what markets you are targetting. A lot of phones being made and sold today have pretty small amounts of storage and users are likely to fill that up. When they do, they'll delete apps, often doing sort by size --- you don't want to be near the top of that list.

Hers is a perversion from aspect blindness that talks about rights in a vacuum without concern or care about harm. Right (i.e. morally correct) and the right (i.e. morally allowed) are often not the same. A person has the right to deny food to someone who is starving, but it makes the denier repugnant, and I would rather not have them in my society. Rand starts from the faulty premise that the two are the same and descends into madness from there.

> I am not a follower of hers but...

How are you both not a follower of hers and also driven to conjure quotes? That looks a lot like when someone says "I'm not racist but <overtly racist thing>". (I'm not calling you racist. I'm drawing a similarity between "I'm not X, but").

And they got that completely wrong! The video at the top of the page, and the two linked in the text, had nothing to do with PARC.

Enumeration of this kind will always be comparing apples and oranges.

That said, it is fairly easy to get a ballpark for risk. If nobody in your city or county has contracted the virus, your short term risk is very low. If you don't contact anyone in your daily activities and practice basic hygiene, your risk is very low.
This reminds me of the oddball comment I read somewhere to the effect that “come-from, despite all the humour, turns out to be a very sensible parallel-safe alternative to go-to”. Can’t remember the exact wording nor the source, though (unfortunately, because I’ve taken it to heart as very deep architectural wisdom).

No it's purely an issue in areas where Ligado plans to offer its service, which is the US at the moment, hence their application to the FCC.
It doesn't describe what the doctrine of socialism is, the problems it claims to solve, what socialists actually believe, or the way socialist societies actually behave. And you could replace "socialism" with "capitalism", "society" with "employers" and "tribal, collective good" with "the benefit of the shareholders" and have an equally banal rebuttal, suggesting there's no specific insight behind it at all.

But, those minor flaws aside, it is, indeed, a quote.

Web Hosting Talk (www.webhostingtalk.com) is also worth a look.

These ^ sites aggregate various colo and dedicated server businesses; many of them have larger, more fleshed out cloud options as well. They'll rent you space, rent you severs, or rent you a slice of their cloud -- maybe all of the above. Options range from one-man-shops to regional-heavy-weight MSPs, and sometimes larger.

Bigger colo and dedicated providers I've dealt with are:

- Coresite

- Dupont Fabros

- Equinix

- Atlantic Metro

- Rackspace

- Flexential (formerly Peak10)

- QTS

- Raging Wire (I believe they're NTT)

- Digital Reality (Telx)

- Most large ISPs have their own spaces (Level3, Zayo, Cogent, etc.) and can host your servers or rent you some as well. Usually not competitive in terms of compute, but could offer good deals for bandwidth or other perks

Got some major red pilling for you on corona virus. As you are probably aware, there's several corona type viruses that infect humans, one is covid-19. You know what else is a corona virus? About 20% of the common cold. After centuries of fighting the common cold, what are the odds we'll figure out a vaccine for this novel corona virus within the next year? Probably close to zero. Maybe with all of this extra attention, something might get done, but it would honestly be a miracle. So any plans about reopening that involve a vaccine are out the door.

Next, let's talk about any plans that involve "testing" as part of the plan to reopen. How much testing would you need? And what kind of testing would you need? Remember, you're not in a hospital, you're just a person who is trying to go back to work or into a grocery store. First, there's a kind of test that takes 3 days to turn around. That's useless, because in that 3 days you've gone around and infected tons of other people. Second there's the tests that take 5 minutes to turn around. Okay, that's great. So you take that test, and you're negative. Perfect. You're allowed to buy groceries today. What about tomorrow? Or the next day? How many tests would we need to make this really work? And how many of that type of test are reasonably available within the next 6 months? It's not going to happen. So any plans about "testing our way out of this" are out the door.

What does this mean? Basically there's some limit of economic destruction that is going to be worse than the virus. Nobody can predict exactly what that is. Is it closing everything for 6 weeks? 3 months? No one knows. The hard truth is we're just going to have to eat it, and by eat it I mean take a lot of deaths. Hopefully in a way that doesn't overload our hospitals. What will really get your goat is realizing that public leadership has known that testing and vaccine wasn't going to work since very early on. And we've just been keeping hope alive based on lies and magic thoughts.
ELB is still available and still does the job.
If an expert in say, economics is telling me the the climate crisis is exaggerated, and an expert in climate science is saying that it isnt - I will tend to believe the expert in the most relevant field.

Fundamentally yes, but look at how both sides are trying to sell the issue. If Ligado and the FCC are both pushing this spectrum allocation issue as a question of helping 5G or not (and therefore hitching onto the we need 5G now or else China will beat us wagon), then I'm completely sympathetic to opposing coverage piling on the counter 5G bandwagon.
For those interested in the human aspects of Emacs development, be sure to check out Appendix B, "INTERVIEW WITH JOSEPH ARCENEAUX". Many accounts have been given of the FSF / Lucid Emacs "schism", but I think this is the first time that his side of the story has been told. His perspective is unique in that he was the only person AFAIK to have worked for both FSF and Lucid.

[1] shows the full email chain history surrounding the schism, along with Jamie Zawinski's hilarious but partisan introduction. Arceneaux contributed just one plaintive email:

> As the person somewhat in the middle this extended phlegm, it strikes me that both accounts of this history contain a certain degree of inaccuracy.

> Be that as it may, I would like to urge the parties involved to forget all this and again make efforts to join forces. Lucid has some talented hackers which can and have done good things for emacs (in fact, version 19 already uses some of their code), and if the "bosses" can work out their politics, the community will benefit.

In effect it did. From Wikipedia:

> the German state between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party (NSDAP) controlled the country which they transformed into a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Germany became a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government

In this context, the "government" means the military. Hitler used military force to enforce their rein. There's no way Nazi Germany could have done what they did without absolute control exerted by the military.

It isn't anti-China, it's anti-PRC. The difference is obvious.
While I like the post and associated quiz, I feel like execution order is not the most important thing to understand with hooks, but it's the main theme of the quiz. If you're designing your components in an effective way, execution order shouldn't _really_ come into play. It typically only comes to bite you if you're manipulating some global state outside of React, or doing some direct DOM manipulation.

Questions 3 and 4 about anonymous objects and useRef are definitely the kind of knowledge that someone who aims to understand React and Hooks should focus on, though.
The biggest challenge with acquihiring is retention. Allowing the acquired team to continue what they were doing is the only somewhat foolproof strategy to deal with it. It's a question of pocket depth and expectations. How much will the new team contribute to the "home" product? If expectations are too high chances are that much of the team won't stay and the acquisition will turn out to be a waste of money. With lower expectations however, continuing to fund the project in question can be bargain for getting a pool of in-house consultants to occasionally tap into for the "home" product, if they are really as good.

And even if retention wasn't a problem at all, skilled people are not inherently skilled, they need to keep challenging themselves in their area of expertise to stay sharp. If the "home" product was failing to foster in-house expertise before then chances are high that it's a problem based on culture and priorities and experts injected from outside would quickly lose their edge. Keep them on the project they became experts on and they stay experts.

Cuckoo Internet closes Seed funding to disrupt UK broadband market
There was another language kinda similar to this (functional language HDL), called Bluespec. It was originally very Haskell-like, but at some point had to change its syntax to a more C-like version because of its unpopularity with hardware engineers. I had to use the newer version at my Computer Architecture class, and although the experience was way better than Verilog, it had very little documention/tutorials (being a commercial product and having almost no users), which made understanding the more complex parts of the language really hard.

Nowadays Chisel seems to be the best bet if you want a sane Verilog alternative (with functional-lang features) for your HDL needs. (https://www.chisel-lang.org/) It was originally a transpiler to Verilog, but recently it began to have its own IR code (FIRRTL) for optimization purposes.

I don't think you should assume that someone is intending to be positive towards you.

But you should assume that someone, in their own mind, thinks they're doing the "right thing".

If you assume people are evil and are motivated by wanting to pursue evil ends, then you're going to have a bad model for predicting them.

Everybody at that store wants to get the milk because in that situation, that's what feels like the right thing to do, all things considered. They're not getting up at 5am to ensure you DON'T have milk. If there weren't milk shortages, they wouldn't be buying it up just to spite you.

> The bet is that over time deaths will be roughly the same, lockdown or not

The total number of infections will be the same up until a vaccine is developed, but the death rate can be lowered by delaying widespread infection until treatments are developed, tested, and deployed, and by keeping the infection rate at a level the medical system can handle.

The problem in, and of itself, is not that Jeff Bozos has 100B, it is that by Jeff Bezos having 100M, he is able to bend the political environment to benefit him. creating more wealth and reducing the wealth of others. The tax code is a great example of that. Piketty's book, clearly demonstrates that.

By the way, for every "Bezos", there is a Walmart Heiress who simply chose the right womb to come out of, and while Bezos may have "built" Amazon, he needed early investors, e.g. that Wal Mart Heiress for example, to start that instead of going to public markets.
> On many-GPU machines, the CPU isn't idle- it's handling the data infeed and data outfeed pipelines. This can often be a bottleneck if training is really fast and you need to stream lots of examples/sec.

This depends on both the application and the actual machine. Moving data from storage or from the network to the CPU to then feed it to the GPU just increases latency. Unless you are doing some non-parallelizable pre-processing of the data in the CPU, you are often better off with doing DMA or RDMA directly to the GPU memory, fully bypassing the CPU.

Not all machines support that, and not all applications support that either, but many applications do. Arguably, even for the applications that do this, leaving the CPUs unused is not really a desirable property. I've seen a couple of applications that split the compute workload to the CPU to fully utilize the CPU as well, and I've also seem other applications that once the GPU finishes processing they move the data to the CPU memory to leave space on the GPU for the next batch as quickly as possible, and the CPU then streams the data off the node while the GPU continues to compute (so you get an RDMA->GPU->CPU->Storage/Network loop).

An 'Authority' figure is not in and of itself a trustworthy source. The head of the EPA is not necessarily the top Environmental scientist in the country.
