>It's the brogrammer equivalent of fake news: 22-yo kid "makes science" with a sample of 1, some videogames, and a few charts.

>You are 22 year old. Your body is at peak condition, built to go out and hunt for days on little food and little sleep. Of course it will work more or less fine for a few weeks.

I like this comment because its author can't decide whether my study is the "equivalent of fake news" or whether its results are obviously true.
All these “integrate X in your daily rituals” kinds of advice absolutely don’t work for people with ADHD. There are no daily rituals for us. Life is chaotic.

I am trying to categorize things that might work in this condition, but you know, “categorizing” anything is also quite a challenge.

yes good point! It is in the domain name so it will be difficult to get rid off it hehe I will think about it though, thanks!
Yep, and there is also https://neocities.org/ for example :).
Unlikely, as it can be passed to animals, then mutate and return to humans. The flu vaccine is designed and distributed annually based on the most likely strains. My guess is a similar pattern for strains of coronavirus.
I agree with you, thanks to the Podcast Addict case more people will know about google practices.
It took very popular app to make it to the mainstream news and i hope the change will be for the better and maybe small developers will also be heard in this discussion.
Since QML uses Javascript it may be their best bet to attract new developers.
Have a look at the concept "self-compassion”. A good book is e.g. " The mindful art of self-compassion".
mediasoup (server side, so the Node + C++ component you mean) does not implement "RTCPeerConnection". That's just needed for browsers. In mediasoup we don't use SDP but specific RTP parameters as defined here:

https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup/rtp-paramet...

If you want to know why we don't use SDP (as communication means between client and server) here a good reading: https://webrtchacks.com/webrtc-sdp-inaki-baz-castillo/
There have been many, many more cases than the official confirmed (=medically tested/diagnosed positive) cases. For example data in Spain points to 5% prevalence (~2M infected) with ~25k deaths (official number, may be higher due to unverified and side cases).

Over here the (neo-liberal) side of the political spectrum has mounted enormous pressure on the way all Covid-19 figures are reported, so as to 'not harm the economy'. So far the committees in charge have mostly resisted, but the assault is relentless and they are starting to cave on more recent developments.

Two points:

-your covid-19 figures, if plausible, should be in line with 'excess-mortality', or you should have an explanation why they are not (keep in mind that some major sources of non-corona mortality were significantly lower during lockdown, while others were slightly up).

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/04/16/tracking...

- Ask one of the ICU nurses or doctors (I'm sure everyone at least knows a friend of a friend) what happens to those that 'survive' the covid-19 hospitalization? Why is it we are only hearing about 'deaths', as if everything is 'just super' if you weren't hoisted out in a bodybag?

The only thing that I miss in linux is a pdf viewer that can show inline animations (like those produced by LaTeX's "animate" package). I am still forced to run adobe's 32 bit pdf viewer because it is the only viewer available in linux that supports this kind of pdf.
how can you reconcile that with the fact that job-hopping in 2-5 years is proven to be a more effective way to raise your salary?

Being seen as "local" may have its
benefits but I doubt that being one is more beneficial.
> And a square wave has lots of harmonics

A square wave is 100% distortion effectively. It's an infinite series of sine-waves (although the infinite series isn't needed to generate a square wave, just the sum of harmonics up to nyquist)
There is always a temptation for people in power to "massage the facts" (for various levels of "massage") to make themselves look good. One difference between the US and China is that we have the freedom to call it out and discuss it. Hopefully a second difference is that we'll have the political will to fire the people who asked to do the "massaging" -- whether that will happen or not remains to be seen.

Why the Future of Machine Learning Is Tiny
That's cool, but it doesn't really explain _why_ the sound becomes more interesting. It has to do with how the sound is played back, in short, there are no "square" waves. Everything is a combination of sine waves. The more you have it's as if there are more instruments playing on top of each other, in music they're called "harmonics". A "squared" wave is a wave with many many additional sine waves in different frequencies that overlap with each other, if you were to plot it it wouldn't look square, rather it would be wavy. This article shows visually how this effect takes place, if you are interested: http://www.jezzamon.com/fourier/
First, you say:

> OTOH, if you are using Slack, you probably deserve it :P

then you say:

> not saying you have any choice in the matter of using Slack or not

Now, I don't actually run Slack nowadays. I run Teams, which sounds like it's efficient since it only uses 600 MiB RAM rather than a full gigabyte.

But the choice between Slack, Teams, and any other product we might use is determined not by the user, but by the company we work for. Companies have a tendency to decide what works without respect to empirical data. Business people are unconcerned with mere technical matters; they optimise for purchase processes.

I think you got downvoted for saying we have any choice in the matter. When you made a valid criticism, your comment fared much better.
This does not seem to be a "real" library. It has a github, but no readme. It seems to be a julia implementation of some other c library, probably experimental.
"best long-lasting & cheap" is spot on. Often, getting the very best is not worth it, no matter how long they might last.

We had a lot of work done on our house a few years back, and every one of tradesmen used Makita. I asked our carpenter if they were really good, and he said no, but they we pretty good, lasted quite well, but didn't cost the earth.

I think the ubiquity of Makita also made it easy to swap batteries and chargers between kit, and between people.
Bummer, now I'll have to check if we're talking about JS or Haskell every time "Cabal" appears on HN
Thanks. I might try building one of those.

But the problem remains: eventually, the next upgrade will crash every time you boot it, and what will you do then?
That is not at all what happens. W^X is not the problem. W^X is already enabled by default. Executable pages are not mapped in as writable even if the image file is writable. The security argument is bullshit.

The problem is that they don't want you mapping code from anywhere other than your strictly read only .apk.

There is no workaround proposed there other than shipping every single piece of executable code with the .apk.

Sure, you can workaround right now with proot or the like by creating your own executable loader, but who guarantees this works with Android 11? It is also a violation of their policy.

In fact, what they are saying there is that eventually fork and exec are going to be deprecated because they disalign with the Android process model.

DataChannels are transmitted over the same UDP/ICE "connection" that is used to transmit audio and video packets. So if you plan to send real-time data (for example: real-time subtitles, metadata related to the current video position, etc) by sending such a data over DataChannel it will reach the remote without delay over the audio/video. If you use WebSocket to transmit the data, there may desynchronization between audio/video and data because they use a different network path.
Like most people who start companies, I imagine: It was more economical to process contracts on a business-to-business basis than a W-2 basis.

JavaScript is actually not too bad. It lacks static types, but Typescript gives you one of the better type systems. But I'd take JavaScript over PHP or Bash any day of the week and twice on Fridays.
I don't view anyone who has amassed anything under $10MM in networth as successful; I believe me and the parent are in agreement on this.

You cannot amass this much wealth in a reasonable -- 40-50 y.os need not apply -- timeframe if you have a family commitment. Even significant others may become detrimental to that end, if they cannot accept that they're #2 now. Close relationships take time. An absolute fuckload of time.

In order to gain that amount of wealth, it takes years of 70+ hour work weeks. You will neither have the time nor inclination to spend time with tour loved ones if you're truly operating on all cylinders. If you're not, that's fine. That's your choice, but there's many more out there that don't have those kinds of personal hangups and will dedicate more time to winning.

You would not be able to understand unless you've been there.

Oh and Warren Buffett is not a paragon of family values. He has had falling outs with and disowned one of his children -- the rest is washed away by PR firms.

Gates too. Melinda would barely see him in the early days of MSFT. Neither would his first newborn child, while Gates was wrapped up in the antitrust suits.

These people were businessman first and foremost. They did not get to the top of the food chain by spending quality time with their children. Theire businesses (or passions) will always be #1 to them.

Invariably, these men have spent less time with their children and wives than any poor south americans -- who happen to have higher emotional wellness than their American counterparts.

This isn't about not having a family. Many high perfomance men have families, but they always take a back seat to their missions. Perhaps in later life when they're more established, that changes; I've seen it happen.
> IMHO in a declarative language your example should be an error. You defined x twice. Intentionally or not, this is confusing, for others and for you in a week when you have to look at the code again.

c'mon, this is an example in a forum post ! of course it doesn't make sense in real life. real life is

distance := computeDistanceToCenterOfScreen(cursorPosition)
text := "the current distance is: " + distance

but that just muddies the waters needlessly

> Also, why should the second binding override the first? You introduced a temporal dimension where later lines of code somehow override earlier lines of code.

yes, some languages work like that, but it's not the point - either you assume that you can update values in your declarative bindings like that, or you have to define your binding in terms of some external behaviour that will change in magic ways, which again would not be very nice to do as a simple forum post example
That sounds like a call for a coherent policy rather than the do nothing that's being proposed here.
It's a funny thought, but I have to think it'd get noticed pretty quickly that you're suing the company for something you actually did, and it'd be dismissed pretty quickly.

It'd be fun to negotiate your own exit package in that situation though :-D
Doesn’t make sense, what if you simulate a virus spread or Hurricane?
>If the government failed in its duty to protect the public, it also failed to protect staff in the NHS and social care by not delivering sufficient amounts of personal protective equipment (PPE) of the right specification, again deviating from WHO advice

The government is currently telling anyone who will listen that hospitals have all the PPE they need. However, local nurses and doctors are co-ordinating with volunteers to supply hand sewn PPE because they've been told they can only order PPE for the autumn. My mother is having material delivered and is hand-sewing PPE for the local hospital. Yet the government claims this isn't needed. So whilst this review is pretty damning, let's remember this situation is far from over.

The fact that the PM's political advisor was in the scientific advisory meetings tells you all you need to know.
Don't you think it might be that you REALLY don't want to do the work you're doing? It's certainly true in my case - the work just violates a lot of my principles and preferences and also, in its core, is not interesting and mostly pointless. My soul is screaming at me to leave. I could try to silence it with meds, but I'd rather just align my work with my values (I plan to do this in about a year, if I last that long), and get out of software engineering. Luckily, I have tons of savings and low costs of living, so I can literally do below minimum wage work and be fine financially.

I can't figure out what data is actually missing for Florida. It looks like there's currently data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths at the county level, as well as historical data on new cases per day and deaths per day (by day of death). The only things that seems to be missing are historical deaths by date reported, historical hospitalizations, and historical county-level data, and most of those are likely to just be noise - admittedly, noise that would be very useful to publications cynically wanting to cherry-pick data and misrepresent it as evidence of a spike due to the reopening like they have with other states, but that doesn't seem like a reason why publishing it would help inform us.

(In fact, I think Florida was actually the state where people took a all-time high spike in newly-reported coronavirus deaths due to the state reporting a bunch of old deaths at once as proof reopening was killing people. And that spike happened on the same day - May the 5th - as this woman complained that she was supposedly removed for "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.")

This is a pro bono project that we built on top of Epidemic Calculator. We thought Epidemic Calculator was awesome as a visualization and modelling tool, but it was missing real data and the ability to do "real" scenarios of an ongoing epidemic. So we brought historical estimates into it (and a bunch of other stuff).

> We're getting "snippets" of the events from this individual, and it could very well be that they're phrasing their comments and selectively "mentioning" parts of the story in order to amplify and push a certain interpretation

No, there's a single email that she sent out to a listserv that she was a part of, which is now being quoted. She's not "selectively 'mentioning' parts of the story." Don't twist this to sound like she has some sort of insidious motive.

> Everything is marketing

Are you joking?

From elsewhere in the comments: "FFS they fired the person whose official job it was to make information available to the public and she reports it was because they wanted to censor it. I mean, does that not strike you as something she should absolutely blow the whistle on?"
Regarding sending people to the moon, I don't believe we've changed how we calculate the value of human life in this scenario at all. Remember, astronauts volunteer to strap themselves to gigantic tanks of explosives, all for the chance to experience the universe personally in a way very few humans ever have.

Rather, I think the issues here are:

* America literally watched 14 people die on national TV.

* At the time of the Columbia disaster in 2003, the Space Shuttle was already a 30 year old vehicle (Columbia itself was 22 years old when it was lost), based on 40 year old designs.

* We realized we just don't need humans on the moon. Compared with robots, we're terribly fragile, inefficient, and largely superfluous on the surface of the Moon in a lunar exploration mission.
This is an excellent list. I just want to add that jetbrains products (intellij, webstorm, etc) all run perfectly well on Ubuntu (and probably other distros?), with regular releases using their toolbox app.
I am totally convinced that we will essentially invent telepathy within the next few decades.

We’ve already made strides with interacting with a computer via brain signals, if we can build simple text interfaces (like this) that interface directly with the brain we have all the pieces needed to silently send text messages using only thought.
Indeed, I hear node and have to think of 'gordian'. No idea why.

I can't follow the argument. The Hong Kong Flu caused more deaths without the economy shutting down than this epidemic with the economy shutting down, therefore what?

It's interesting to consider the N64 in contrast to the first Voodoo card. One is a console and the other is an add-in card, but both launched in 1996, with underlying 3D technology from SGI. The Voodoo used EDO RAM, 8 chips of 256k x 16b, 2 MB for the z+framebuffer and 2 MB for the texture memory. With 50 MHz EDO RAM, wired in a 64-bit bus, the peak texture bandwidth would be 400 MB/s, dedicated to that purpose alone; in contrast the N64 RDRAM was main memory and had to service other functions.

The N64 launched at $200, the Voodoo at $300. Of course you would additionally need a computer to run the Voodoo, but I remember thinking the N64 was already way too expensive back in the day. It would've been even more expensive to support a 64-bit memory bus.

The lack of PPE is a world-wide problem. The UK imported tonnes of the stuff for Turkey, but it was deemed to be not fit for purpose. Other countries have been asking for water-proof coats, that can be used as washable over-garments.

No-knock warrants can only be justified in cases where the evidence sought can be quickly destroyed, such as a small amount of soluble or combustible material, or written material (especially on "flashpaper").

In the Branch Davidian raid in 1993, Janet Reno's crew had sought a no-knock warrant, but they were denied because the objects of the warrant (fully automatic guns and conversion kits) can't be quickly destroyed. They used no-knock tactics anyway.
Unrelated but by complete coincidence I came across the author’s blog yesterday, while researching book creation in AsciiDoctor and Markdown.

Bringing My Web Book to Print
A lot of people want to be rich and do 'nothing'- eg. sit on a beach all day or travel all the time.
Most people will experience the same thing as you did, but don't know it before hand. People want to be useful and do something, what they don't want is crap bosses and poor work conditions. From what I've observed, people with good bosses & work conditions (including adequate salary to cover their needs and save some) tend to desire less to be rich as all their needs are covered. More often people under poor working conditions & pay desire to be rich as means to get away from their situation thinking it would solve their problems.
