It sounds like you're expecting VR to make a difference to the landscape or such. If you're in a flying plane, everything outside the plane is so far away that you don't get any depth information from stereoscopy. VR could be nice for the cockpit and takeoff/landing, but it doesn't seem essential.
I moved away from the UK at the end of last year, and honestly the best anti-homesickness thing was Forza Horizon 4. I don't even race much, just drive around and listen to Don Thompson doing a perfect imitation of the radio back there.
That kind of triangulation is nowhere near precise enough to reveal the data shown in the article. This is GPS data which the provider does not get.

The retirement age in many countries is 65 and increasing.

So mid career would be something like 40-50 in my eyes: about 15 years from finishing school and 15 years from retiring.
In my opinion, yes.

Angular's model is based on "two-way data binding", which was also the paradigm used by Backbone and other popular JS frameworks of a ~decade ago. This means that any user interaction with your app directly causes some JavaScript value to change, potentially triggering side-effects. But you can also cause the same value to change in your business logic code, in response to some other event or change. Components maintain a lot of data internally, so your job as a developer is largely about making sure that these components stay in sync with each other, and with whatever non-component-oriented data you have.

This gets messy very quickly. Where is your data? What things can cause your data to change? What happens if you want to change a data schema, or introduce new fields, new components? Angular tries to solve this problem with a fairly complex architecture[1] which promises that all of this can be OK if you follow the rules.

The problem is that this architecture is so complex that most people can't follow it well: there are modules, components, views, directives, services, dependency injection containers, service metadata, bindings, a router, and events. That's ten concepts, and you can't build very much in Angular without knowing what those concepts are and how they relate to each other (and if you can build it without knowing these things, then you didn't need Angular).

React is much simpler: there is state, and there are views. State can be global or component-local, and I would suggest ignoring component-local state unless you can't avoid it. Views render whatever state is passed to them. State can be updated by events. This is the same basic loop that is recognisable in desktop apps, games, in fact most interactive software. There's no "two-way binding" because views render based on state, but can't modify it directly. This is a lot easier to understand and to debug.

React might be less "batteries included" than Angular, but Angular requires such an enormous battery pack because it is trying to solve problems in an insanely complicated way.

Funny, for me it was the other way around.

Windows 10 was the reason for me to switch back from Linux to Windows, due to WSL.

I hate the ads and build in tracking like any other, but in the end this is my work laptop and I need to get the job done. I can't be spending hours fiddling with graphic drivers and GTK issues when a customer is paying for my time.
Pretty much all of my life I have been trying to write, even managed to publish some shorter works and, ironically, ultimately ending up in a 25-years long software engineering career due to writing (it's a long story). I've also done plenty of roleplaying, across a number of different systems (including several of my own).

But the main roadblock in my writing has always been my problem to find a story. I can build worlds and invent interesting characters to no end, and describe cool scenes and situations -- but any attempt to have some kind of a coherent story has always ended up looking like, at best, a second-class rip off of one or another of my favourites works of fiction... :(

>The rich pay disproportionately a lot more.

And so they should.

the top 50% has a lower band of $41k annual income in the US. they are not rich, in many places they would struggle to support a family on that.

>The top 1 percent of American earners pay almost 40 percent of all federal income taxes. That’s more than the bottom 90 percent pay combined

that fact should not be celebrated as how generous the top 1% are but rather how unequal the system is that this can be the case.
If you change your mind you can always get the feet for $299.
Yes, any crt has flickering, but that is not relevant nor related to this approach. This approach ensures a sprite is drawn in the multiple places of a display every time the crt updates the display.

API with NestJS #1. Controllers, routing and the module structure
I often find teams are legit spending more time configuring containers and the ecosystems around them. Far more than using classic servers and more than using server-less. Although the tech is great it seems to bloat quite a lot as of recently. Just an observation. As a consultant i love it tho - projects take far longer to complete.
I strongly object with characterizing being inclusive and mindful of how your speech affects others as a "left-wing positions". It's basic politeness.

Is building neural NLG faster than rules NLG? No one knows, but I suspect not
Exactly. I have the luxury of some patience here (married and can WFH) and even I’m not excited about forfeiting 1 of my ~50 years of “healthy, active adult lifespan” for limited gain.

If you estimate that the lockdown takes 50% of life enjoyment away and each of us gets 50 healthy years of self-directed adult life, a year of lockdown is equivalent to sapping 1% of total life enjoyment. That’s not exactly the same as 1% increase in population deaths in a year, but it’s comparable IMO.

What's wrong with the example given in the readme? Too complicated?
Ken Thompson would be rolling in his grave if not for him being alive.

I could see this having some use in an internal manner for things like game development where you have absolutely enormous codebases (as an abstraction above compile servers and similar).
> The model is validated by real experience. Italy, New York both blew up.

Do you know where the first clusters in New York where?

Because in Northern Italy, and especially around Bergamo, hospitals and then nursing care homes turned into infection centers, and with the population there so skewed with the most vulnerable (along with imperfect knowledge on the pathology) it was easy for the virus to kill them.

In fact most of the initial clusters were in hospitals, and negligence turned Alzano Lombardo in a nice spreading place.

Would a model tuned on what we know now, taking into account different infection routes and places, work the same way? I don't know, but it is a question worth asking even if in the end the model proves to be absolutely correct.

I created a Wiki (MediaWiki), now under https://3d19.no/wiki (Google Translate version: https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&...), to help connect all the best information on 3D-printing of face shields.

We have a Facebook page for live questions, but fast figured out we needed a place for best practice that could be edited by everyone.

For orders we use Google Sheet and had to split the sheets in regions because it’s gets slow if more than 300 people edit on the same time.
Got regional coordinators to help with the coordinations both within the regions and send excess shields between the regions.
Now that is one trippy book! I bought one of the reprint for a friend once. I should've kept another for myself!

Voice Tech at Home and in Hospitals: Combating Covid-19
For most programming jobs, the salary for "no industry experience, PhD" is lower than the salary for "4 years industry experience, college degree"

So it's not a big moneymaker. But it's certainly not the biggest financial hit you can take in life; having children will cost you a lot more and loads of people do that.

If you look at lifetime salary surveys, you'll find people with doctoral degrees earn more - and some people will say even if a PhD doesn't boost your salary on the day of graduation, your salary will rise faster and higher than your peers. But that could easily be confounded by the fact you've got to have good grades, or ambition towards fancy titles, in order to get a PhD.

There are exceptions, of course; if you want to become a professional academic, if you target a job at a company's research division and choose your research accordingly, or if moves you into a new immigration status. There's no doubt the likes of Chris Urmson and Anthony Levandowski made a lot of money on the back of their PhDs.
You say that, but your intuition about those measures isn't good enough, which is why we needed a reliable model to tell us whether those measures were going to be effective, that's the entire point of the research. If our starting point is "Oh well obviously we need to do lock down" then why are we wasting money on modelling it? And since we haven't modelled the system without public policy intervention, none of the results mean anything.
The country that still allows it is Czechia. So it's probably not an EU law that requires it.
This is something a lot of people forget: Russia before the revolution was not a modern, industrialised nation, it was a country still half stuck in the middle ages. I don't want to defend the atrocities and oppression of the Soviet system, but it has been very effective at industrialising a backwards peasant country.

(In fact, Marx considered Russia the least likely candidate for a communist revolution; it would start in England or Germany.)
That’s it, I’m cancelling my summer holiday to Qatar.

One way would be if increased production floor changes increased OSHA inspections. More inspections yields more discovered violations even for a constant background amount of actual violations.

> "I don't think the current system was built to feed people"

And yet it does feed people, billions of us. Even more so we have less extreme poverty and fewer people suffering from malnutrition than any other time in human history, with poverty plummeting since 1960 at least.

The current system wasn't built indeed, it was evolved, in tune with the industrial revolution. And it works. In the 19th century over 80% of the world population was living in extreme poverty.

The progress has been immense, both technological and social, in only one century, a blink of an eye in the context of human history. Any such discussion should acknowledge this.

> "...rather than a tool thought from head to toes to run our socities"

Yeah, you know what economic system was designed like that? Communism. So I'm skeptical of any such claims.
Having two good compliant compilers is great for C++ too: it keeps both compilers honest and also makes spotting weird behaviour easier in big codebases (i.e. to first order if your code results in different behaviour in GCC or Clang then it could be dangerous).

Also has the added benefit of reducing the need to use compilers like Intel's (not sure on current benchmarks) but I really wouldn't want to ship something for AMD CPUs with Intel's compiler.

By COVID standards, Qatar has actually been one of the better-off airlines in the Gulf, since (unlike the UAE) they still allow transit passengers and have been making some money flying stranded people around, even to the extent of putting on entirely new destinations like Brisbane. But obviously their business has still taken a huge hit and they've got a lot of excess capacity to shed. As always, PPrune has the goss: https://www.pprune.org/middle-east/288896-joining-qatar-airw...

But this has always been the flip side of doing business in the Gulf: you're paid well, but once you're no longer useful, you'll be discarded without a second thought. This happened during the GFC as well and there were plenty of stories of once high-flying expats sleeping in their cars.
What's naive is to complacently and condescendingly assume that Canada is handling this any better. It doesn't look that way from my province.
I should have been more precise. It is a 43" 4K TV acting as a monitor. Its a cheap Vizio I bought a few years ago after a bit of research and luck showed that the model that my local warehouse store (BJs) had in stock offered 1 out of the 5 HDMI ports as "raw" (it bypassed the internal image processing system in the TV). Its been great - its flicker free and doesn't have weird artifacts I've heard other 4K TVs have (had?) when used as a monitor.

Honestly though, 43" is too big. I think somewhere around 36" would be ideal to limit the amount of head swivel. I use Regolith with a good deal of padding between tiled windows mostly to bring the windows out of the top corners of the screen so that my days don't feel like I'm at a tennis match.
Neat app, not using it though due to lack of quality control in the blocklists. Are there any changes yet to the quality control of the blocklists used, or is the author still copying lists from the internet without scrutiny?
I don't agree. A classic PHP-as-it-was-used-15-years-ago site either loads or fails for every user request. That isn't good enough any more. An SPA either loads or fails for the first request, but then they do a lot of things that can mitigate a patchy internet connection - prefetching content, offline mode, bundling things to reduce the number requests, etc. A server-side rendered app doesn't take advantage of those optimisations, although things like rel="prefetch" are starting to get used more which helps a lot.

Like the article suggests, there's definitely some middle ground where enough of the site is loaded on the first request for it to work, and then more things can happen in the background to make subsequent interactions faster and more reliable. That isn't a pure SPA and it isn't a pure SSR site either.
Many already use one called distcc.
All countries may have had isolation measures, but those were implemented at a significantly different time. PL and CZ were among the first countries to implement lovkdowns, and they did those when the number of cases was 10-100 less than the other countries.

Not mentioning that is in my opinion scientifically dishonest.

Other arguments:
- the correlation between a stop of disease growth and the implementation of containment measures is very clear now

- I don’t know about CZ, but in Poland we have a high death rate compared to the number of found cases, even though we test more samples than Germany to find one case. If anything, it would actually suggest that the death rates are higher here than in DE, not the other way around.

The concept of haplogroups affecting covid is not new. The critique is also there - posting a new chart about the subject and not mentioning of critique is dishonest as well, imho.

Isn't Apple clang open source anyway? So what is really the point?

Even distribuiting GPL software isn't a big deal, nowadays even Microsoft does that, shipping an entire Linux distribution in Windows!

There are no technical motivations for not using GPL software, you can do that as long you respect the GPL license (i.e. release the modified source code).

I think that what Apple does is more a policy to go against the FOSS community for political reasons that anything else, and to me is bad, in a world where now even Microsoft is opening up a lot to the open source world.
You're getting mixed up between figures and then attacking people who understand them better. Please give the benefit of the doubt!

There are two figures being widely reported for deaths:

1. Total excess mortality of all causes

2. "COVID deaths"

The claim was about (2) and so that's what my points were about.

Excess death is up, yes. There's a disease, it does cause people to die, especially if they're already vulnerable.

Arguments about the all cause mortality spikes are different and not related to the arguments for over-counting of "COVID deaths", which isn't a conspiracy theory but rather actual stated government policy [1]. The figure for "COVID deaths" includes cases where it's merely assumed that the death was caused by COVID. No test or even evidence need be cited. If doctors are completely reliable this wouldn't be a problem, but they get a 20% payment incentive when patients are claimed to be COVID patients [2].

If you're curious about the arguments surrounding all-cause mortality, the problem is that stay-at-home orders have been taken very literally by many sick people. Hospital admissions went down, not up, during this time, because people who should have been going to the emergency room for treatment got scared and stayed away. In the UK, the government just dropped the "stay at home" slogan it's been relentlessly promoting for weeks because - amongst other things - cardiac admissions halved, and doctors are now sounding the alarm about the huge oncoming wave of necessary life-saving treatments that were delayed in the expectation of a COVID surge that never happened. The NHS can't absorb a huge wave like that, because the needed treatments are so varied so you can't just throw up uniform field hospitals like they tried for COVID. In the UK the ONS is already reporting thousands of excess deaths not linked to COVID [3] even though being "linked to COVID" literally requires no evidence at all.

There are very real problems here.

Results: Finland’s Basic Income Experiment Help Us Build the Post-Pandemic World
Donated once to this fantastic project. I have it running on a VPS+wireguard+firewall and all devices configured to use it even when I am out and about and using the mobile. It performs well enough that all of my family is on it now as well. It's chugging along fine on a 3$ a month VPS and accessible only when logged in via wireguard.

Wireguard is working so well, that I am now thinking of starting up additional services for the family to use. Voip/Filestore, pic library etc etc... all firewalled of course.

As I just bought a 16" 2019 the difference in performance with the i7 2015 I came from is shockingly small. The only thing I really feel day-by-day is the 1TB SSD versus the 512GB one in the 2015.

I regret spending the money on upgrading even while I like the hardware in general. I enjoy extra screen real estate, especially after turning my Touch Bar into the dock using Pock. Sound is better. USB-C / TB3 is amazing, bought a cheap $50 dock with a card reader I need about once a month. Keyboard is good.

But when I go back to my 2015 I'm just as happy.

It's a bit confusing, with the article saying international flights are suspended, but Delhi Departure and Bangkok arrival show flights between the two cities: https://www.bangkokairportonline.com/flight-status-arrivals-.... From there, a flight to Frankfurt leaves at 2300.

The EU also pooled their repatriation flights. He could have gotten on any French, Italian, Spanish etc. transport, space permitting.

There's obviously something wrong with this guy. And if there wasn't before, six weeks at an airport made it happen. He should just go home and for it to be credited as time served.
