You can get an 8-bit MCU if you want to explore that aspect. Modern embedded programming is often on a similar low level, and even on 32-bit MCUs you’re still poking registers and directly accessing memory with no protection. You want to display something on a screen, you can just get yourself a TFT display, write the driver yourself and send a good old fashioned byte array via SPI or parallel. Meanwhile just sending pixels to the screen on a modern PC is not at all straightforward, unless you use a library abstracting everything from you.
It might not be the thing driving people to switch, but I'd be hesitant to claim that Desktop Linux is any worse than the competition. Like, I don't have the exposure to comment on Apple's products, but Windows is no better than XFCE, GNOME, MATE, or KDE these days, Android is a toy, and ChromeOS isn't better. Like... I know this is weak praise; Windows versions after 7 got worse as they fragmented (have they re-merged the control panels yet?), Android was born a mobile OS, and ChromeOS was always meant to be cut-down, but the result is that the playing field is level.
It’s illegal to fire someone who refuses to violate the law.

In California this is considered “ Wrongful Discharge in Violation of Public Policy” https://www.justia.com/trials-litigation/docs/caci/2400/2430... but it’s illegal in most states

Of course, you still have to have a lawyer and be able to win your lawsuit so no idea how much protection this actually gives a worker.
The argument is that in most markets, this parity is reached by bringing the price down. For bitcoin, it is reached by bringing the cost up. More miners means it gets harder to mine, so it costs more.
UBI doesn’t do that. Unless tied to something like land-value tax, UBI just raises rent cost. Of course it doesn’t happen immediately, but within a year or so UBI will be consumed by rent cost.
There's one close to Port Authority. I tried it once. It was ok, but not so great.

Honestly speaking, when I lived in Midtown West, there was a hole-in-the-wall Chinese place called China Gourmet on 8th and 53rd I think and their plain fried half chicken was amazing. It also was so hot that you could even spice it up at home with some pepper and a squeeze of lemon if you wanted to.

There are even people who think we can solve the "problem" of entropy and find a way to keep civilization going beyond the heat death of the universe, and this is a challenge we should start working on. It sounds absurdly optimistic.

Then again, I have no idea what life might do trillions of years in the future, if there is any life around then. But if there is, I highly doubt it will be remotely human, so what difference would it make to us now?
Sure, but they should also own up to their mistake. They flat out said "It won't be a deadly epidemic".
Game devices and smartphones were carefully designed to remain closed. Although the Pinephone and Librem 5 look like smartphones, and use many of the same components, they are far closer to phone-sized PCs. And so they're open from the start.

In January I had the fortunate timing of moving to China a day before the Wuhan lockdown went into effect (talk about culture shock). Though my thinking on the pandemic has evolved since then, I came to three immediate conclusions:

1) COVID-19 is a BFD

2) The PRC, in culture and governance, is exceptionally well-equipped to handle disasters of this type

3) The USA, in culture and governance, is exceptionally badly-equipped to make this pandemic unfold as anything except a giant clusterfuck

Those seem to have held up pretty well.

Is there a reason why people over a specific net worth should be singled out here, and then somehow used as to imply that anti-aging treatments are a net negative?

What about just "helping older people alleviate the painful symptoms of aging and disease"? Most anti-aging treatments we have are certainly not so expensive that only billionaires can afford them (very few things in life are), and are accessible to middle or upper-middle class individuals, with the eventual goal of being accessible to most or all people.
>And yet, plenty of controls to protect people don't turn into permanent revocations of human rights.

I am sure we are going to disagree on many of those. I am sure my definition of human rights, and liberty is very different from yours.

>Do you really think that the plan of governments around the world is to cripple their GDP output and keep everyone locked inside as some sort of mass population control exercise?

No, I do not believe it is conspiracy of population control, I think it run of the mill every day incompetence, panic, and fear at work

the road to hell is not paved with evil conspiracy, it is paved with good intentions

To be clear, I would not oppose all of the governments response to this pandemic, however I do oppose many many of the provisions of the lock down orders. I also oppose many of the individual actions of government officials, things like threatening a teen with arrest for an Instagram post, or the mayor of Chicago threatening to arrest anyone for getting a hair cut while posting on social media her getting a haircut... or releasing thousands of inmates from prison then arresting a business owner, putting her in the same jail that was deemed to unfit for convicted criminals all for refusing to close her business...

>I honestly don't understand this argument.

it is clear you do not understand the argument, you probably also do not understand why anyone would want to put individualism over the collective, or rights above safety

>> But suggesting that this is some fundamental violation of human rights feels like quite a reach.

I guess that depends on what you call human rights. I believe that all human rights flow from the Principle of Self Ownership. I believe in individualism and voluntary cooperation. I reject collectivism and cooperation via force.

I believe tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry and I do not believe the majority has the ethical right to deiced that I give up my rights for their safety, or that because the majority agrees to "give up" their rights they then have the ethical right to use force to compel me to give up mine.

I believe the law is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense, the law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. In that defense there is some room for government action to defend people from COVID, however I believe many of the governments actions moved far beyond justifiable defense, into organizing injustice.
It could be a sustainability thing:

If you butcher an animal, you have X lbs of meat now. Maybe you don’t need all of that immediately just to survive.

If you only need Y < X to feed yourself, you can sell the excess and buy a new animal plus food to fatten it up.

This converts a onetime benefit (killing an animal you have now) into a sustainable way to provide for yourself.
You can literally go outside and see for yourself.

Provide some facts instead of hearsay. Here are some:

- Did you know that Tesla has a shuttle between San Joaquin valley and the Tesla factory? Did you know that Tesla has factories in the San Joaquin valley?

- Did you know about Tracy being a massive bedroom community into Alameda County and beyond? Those people are providing services for Alameda County and beyond. Do you really think that all your service workers can afford to live in the 'core' Bay Area? I personally knew someone with a family in Tracy who worked in the South Bay and sometimes stayed over at his mother in Dublin because the commute was so bad. He laid carpets.

Go ask your Uber or Lyft driver where they live. Multiple have told me Sacramento.

Go ask a car salesman/saleswoman where they live. I asked. Tracy.

Go ask cancer patients from the Sacramento area where they get treatment. Think Stanford.

- Where do you think those workers at your weekly farmer's market live? Most of them come from San Joaquin valley. Look closely at where they say their farms are. Guess.

- Did you know that there are San Francisco city employees that commute daily from San Joaquin valley?

- Did you know about the massive traffic jam that is I-580 in the mornings? It used to get crowded by 5:30 am from the masses of people commuting in from San Joaquin valley. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/I-580-home-to-3-of-Ba... BTW, the article is from 2005. It's much worse than that.

Did you know about the ACE station in Tracy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Corridor_Express

Do you know about the Amtrak train from Sacramento? I had two coworkers who took that daily into Contra Costa County. They lived in Roseville. Look up where that is located.

Ever wonder where multi-generational Bay Area families live? Do you really think that it is magically limited to the 'core' Bay Area? Think San Joaquin valley. I've got family there and I know several other 'core' Bay Area families who come from there and still have family there.

The entire western side of San Joaquin County is a de facto bedroom community for the 'core' Bay Area. Amazingly it even stretches into the Sacramento/Stockton area.
100% agree with you, but in this case, I believe most (if not all?) the code is under a bsd-like license. Take a look at the top of this file: https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/cores/blob/master/teensy4/...

I had the opposite experience. Similar background, Used Windows heavily from DOS through XP. Started a job as Windows 10 had some major incremental releases and was eager to learn PowerShell and see what Windows had done in 10 years.

I earnestly wish I documented my disappointment when I encountered the same annoyances I hadn't seen since I left Windows because after awhile I forgot what they were. Annoying things like updates requiring reboots at least once a month, when an application was busy I couldn't move it out of the way (to do something else while I waited to see if it finished). I found PowerShell too verbose for everyday use, the "terse" commands too different and undiscoverable, everyone I worked with was still entrenched with BAT files, and to run PS1 files I needed to wrap it in a BAT file for security.

I glommed onto WSL, but found myself logging into an Ubuntu box we had because it was nicer.

I was happy my next job was a lot less heavy on Windows. I'd switch to Linux as my daily-driver and dual-boot Windows if I had to.
Looking at the original article, it looks like he continued associating with skinhead groups in his time in the military[0], and that the reason it didn't come up in background searches is because his name was misspelled.

Yes, I absolutely expect someone entrusted with enormous responsibility in the criminal justice realm to be upfront and open about their past and be held to a far higher, far more stringent standard. And it doesn't help that his company hasn't been the most morally upright company in recent times either[1].

"Aurora is expensive and makes exporting data a pain. I have no intention of using it until it’s easy to set up external replication so I can fail over to other providers (or leave). No external replication, no business, especially at that price point. Aurora was quite a disappointment."

Aurora MySQL supports raw access to the binlogs. Aurora Postres supports Activity Streams and Logical Replication. Both are well support by DMS, which can even support replicating and converting between different types of databases - it's designed to support moving into AWS, but nothing's stopping you to use it to replicate in the other direction.

RDS is worth every penny, in my opinion. Of all the technology I've used in my career, it's one of the most impressive.
It's pretty big in Seattle, too. As another commenter said, the sugar in the pasta sauce is gross though, and entirely an Asian thing.
Maybe that's not the best analogy, since evidence exists that setting speed limits that are too low actually costs lives.

They don't need to be legally correct if the voters believe it. That's the point. The state governments and the federal ones exist in so far as the populace decides they are legitimate.
Presumably there is a lot of management being laid off as well that managed those 3,500 people. There probably isn't enough HR to manage that volume of layoffs 1:1. No point in dragging it out over multiple days, dealing with rumors, etc.

I watched the call in the article. Given the severance they're getting I think they did the most humane thing possible.
> They don’t want to break it by touching it.

It blows my mind that we haven't solved this problem yet given half a century. That we're still so afraid of touching our code. COBOL may be COBOL, but who among us can honestly say that things are categorically different in 2020?

It got me thinking about languages like Haskell that resist this kind of breakage. And that got me thinking about why people don't use those languages for mission-critical systems like these. Probably it's because they tend to be unapproachable and their communities populated by language nerds, instead of people who just want to get things working and keep them that way. And that reminded me of this thing I saw a while back about finding a "simple subset" of Haskell that could give you all the functional and type-checked benefits without the dizzying theory: https://www.simplehaskell.org/

I don't know what point I'm trying to make exactly; I just find it bizarre and depressing that our business logic still has to be rewritten just because we want to change platforms. That we still can't build systems that can safely be upgraded piecemeal. I just don't get it. These feel like solvable, incredibly valuable, problems. It can make a programmer feel nihilistic.
There are about 2100 billionaires in the world. I’d said the market is much larger than that.

Author of the review here. Happy to have addition suggestions for papers to include in the review. I looked at the Reddit group you linked and saw only citations of Alipio et al and Grant et al (from several posts), both of which I already cite. The review says of the Grant et al paper that it "broadly reviews evidence for D to help with infectious diseases, pneumonia, and inflammatory cytokines that damage the lungs and discusses some of the aspects of COVID-19 infection that are known to relate to things known to be also relevant to vitamin D." So not quite sure what it is that you are suggesting be covered that is not.

The review is not meant to be a thorough description of the biology at the intersection of vitamin D & COVID-19. The point of bring up the refs I have in section 8 is to point out that there are good causal mechanistic biological arguments for D's usefulness against C19, to help justify a call for additional data gathering.

Your reddit group looks fine and all, but it isn't the same as a single document that concisely collects all the best evidence for the potential of vitamin D in a well organized way.

The federal government is providing aid and today discussed a 25 trillion dollar deal. That is more than all the mortgage, auto, and student loan debt combined.

The problem is that govt is slow and payments by themselves are not effective because of the cascading effects of economic shutdown (you cant spend money when services aren't running in the first place). It's the lower and middle class workers that are suffering the most without a paycheck.

Also, in case you missed it, the stock market has been on a rapid rise for a month now and the NASDAQ is currently positive for the year. Portfolios are doing just fine.
> That's expected - Prettier intentionally and openly positions themselves at the most extreme extreme end of convention-over-configuration. Their tagline is "Opinionated code formatter". If this bothers you, you should look for a different tool.

Sometimes I can't use another tool because another dev has snuck the change into the repo. I can't be privy to every change at a large company. I also can and will continue to be bothered by the existence of prettier because of this. Sometimes I like being bothered. It let's me know what kind of crap to avoid in the wild. If this explain bothers you, you should consider other contexts where problems may apply.
> The cellular network always has to know your approximate location, or else it can't get your data to you.

Sure. But if the cellular radio is a separate device, that information isn't necessarily available to the OS.

If you use WiFi, that must also be a separate device, to prevent the OS from knowing what APs are available, and doing geolocation based on that.

There is also the danger factor... you are 27 times more likely to die driving the same distance on a motorcycle as in a car. I don’t think I would want to take that risk.
This is different.

I mean crap like the Santa Clara County inspector insisting that our solvents go into metal secondary containment because they are potentially flammable. But they are corrosive and per the MSDS shouldn't be in metal, though plastic is safe. When I asked what she wanted she said, "Are you arguing with me?" In the end I put metal trays (turns out commercial pan pizza pans meet the spec) under the plastic bins.

When we moved in there was a copper pipe from one lab to another marked "nitrogen". The previous tenant had had the building declared safe (we had the paperwork) and moved out. When it was our time to move out (raised a large B round, were hiring like mad!) we couldn't get the facility cleared because of this damned copper pipe. Not only did they want it removed but they wanted remediation (I guess in case nitrogen leaked into the atmosphere). I am a packrat so had the previous tenant's paperwork and only that spared us the agony. We were manufacturing product for human clinical trials there -- the last thing we would want was anything toxic or dangerous around!!

(the city of Santa Clara had a nice map showing where the water came from and we were on well supply. For the reason you mention we had bottled water brought in, something I would normally refuse to pay for. If you live in Santa Clara don't worry -- only the industrial districts have this problem. The residences are on a safe supply, I think it's even hatch hetchy water).

> This literally none of the merits of a motorcycle and all the detriments

Oh please; it doesn't fall over, keeps its occupant dry, protects its occupant more in general, it obviously doesn't have all the detriments of a motorcycle.
Absolutely, because I'm making the assumption this will be marketed as a product / service. The initial costs will be quite high, as it's a new service. Rich people will buy the service, market forces will keep the prices high, as the only people who can initially afford it will have means to.
They made a tweet to explicitly say they deleted it because it's wrong. How is that not "owning up"?
If you can get them for $2.50, then yeah that's competitive, but the official site lists the Arduino Nano at $20.70 and it appears to be weaker than the Teensy-LC at $11.65, or ESP 8266 series at <$5 for a 5-pack (why Amazon only seems to sell them in bundles is beyond me). And the Teensy has a better chip and can do USB mouse/kb emulation, and ESPs all do wifi. If you can get them for $2.50 and don't need more power or features then yeah that's a good pick, but I maintain that official Arduino™ boards are not an obvious first pick.
