I used to look up to America. It was the country I wished my country was more like. I often joked I wished the U.S. would buy our country so we could live in the 51st state. Sure no country doesn't have problems but there was an aura around America, at least in my eyes.

In the last few years I have been living in shock. I can't believe what is happening at the top levels of power. I oscillate between disbelief and anger. I spend most days with a sick feeling in my stomach. I constantly ask myself "How is this happening? When will someone stop the madness?", but it seems there is a story like this almost everyday.

I am close to losing hope.
Something that seems not to be considered by many observers is that if a disease is not eliminated, it will continuously either claim lives or reduce efficiency (which claims lives).
Any Android phone can do so much more on the software side.

One just needs to treat them as Java based OS that happens to allow native code for high performance 3D graphics, real time audio and integration of C and C++ libraries.
I feel like politicizing and propagandizing the "current status" view was sadly inevitable once it became clear this was going to negatively affect capital flows in huge ways for months or years.

There are too many in power invested too heavily in the status quo to allow end participants in the labor market to have enough data to make their own risk assessments. This is why states that have reopened despite it being unsafe to do so have set up unemployment snitch lines for people who don't want to risk their lives, so that the threat of eviction or starvation can be used against them.

I worry we are going to see a lot of naked greed come forth in the next few months, and thousands of preventable deaths as a result.
Neocities was refreshing. I really miss simple fan websites like https://distantskies.neocities.org/
A move straight from Erdogan's and Vladimir's books. At least she is not rotting in a cell (as per their literal book). Other countries do the exact same thing but I never place i.e. Iran to the same standards as Turkey and Russia (self proclaim) to be. These are truly dark-grey pages in US history. I sincerely hope next time around the people of USA select better leaders.

Edit: people of Florida were lucky to have such a civil servant.
oh, wow, just read that complicated cli/firebase stuff.

yeah, even easier (or maybe more minimalistic) would be:

goto 192.168.0.1 (or .1.1) and figure out how to port forward '80' to your machine.

install apache

goto a dynamic dns service, get some sub-subdomain, and setup a curl script to set it to your IP.

put an html file in your apache server.

voila, you have your own website*

*if your ISP allows traffic on port 80
This doesn't seem like it is remotely in the same league as ordering data to be censored and firing someone who refuses, which is what you stated ("That's nearly as bad as what DeSantis is doing.")
Oh, sorry, I assumed everybody agreed that a carefully planned and measured approach based on facts was better than acting as quickly as possible with only vague ideas of reality. Especially given the context of a few cops and a judge going off incomplete and incorrect data, barging into a house haphazardly and shooting someone to death.
In the early screenshot where it shows the directory listing for "%TEMP%\RootKitBuster", three entries jump out (to me) as immediately interesting:

* sqlite3.dll
* scan_db.sql
* DB <-- a folder name

That scan_db.sql is likely full of SQL statements.

And SQLite can have user defined C functions added.

Depending on when those SQL statements are run (just for initial DB creation? during every run? etc), it could be a cheap and easy way to get your code running in a high privilege context. :)
Not sure what formatting tricks you mean, but that doesn't seem quite fair. When I want to do anything unusual, I google my problem and almost always there's a question on Tex stack exchange (which is blessed with the participation of most of the experts in the subject) with answers giving several easy ways to do it, using packages I already have on my computer! And it's easy to make your own commands when existing ones don't do the job.
It's not about gaming them anymore.

It's about structuring pages and content in such a way that Google et al believe works best for the reader.

Due to Google-side analytics, it's also about bounce-rates. This leads to both more in lengthy pages with depth, as well as lengthy pages of bullshit.

C2 are really fun to drive if you are at the wheel, but the back seat is like a big beach chair. The ones with a piece of cloth suspended on a frame. Do you think in a world of autonomous driving cars, we can make the cars lighter again? I suspect that in the future, around 2100, there will probably be a lucrative industry around turning old-timers into self driving vehicle. Once a technology is commoditised it needs to be commercialised in another way. Maybe then driving will be fun again, like a big theme park.

Refuting them is addressing them. The other person simply disagrees.
I agree, fewer of them should have guns. What I meant is that cops don't seem to genuinely want to take steps so that they "fear for their lives" less often. So it's the wrong approach to think that they wouldn't be so trigger happy if they just had the right protective gear.
>PDF is a lossy conversion

I am not finding this to be true. Pretty much every PDF I have has been usable for extracting the text content - unless the Web authors intentionally work to obfuscate/disable this functionality, i.e. using images to display text content.

>PDF is not a good way to archive web pages, either manually or programmatically.

I disagree, entirely, with your conclusion - you haven't made a strong argument. 20,000+ fully-searchable, indexable, accessible-in-offline PDF files vs. your opinion so far. I don't see any of the issues you've stated are insurmountable - in fact, I find the reality to be completely the opposite to your stated opinion. Please expand on this if you have the energy.

Thank god i code in elixir
Good summary, thanks. It's tragic that this pandemic has forced schools to close in the middle of the academic year. My point is that university students are paying a premium for an on-campus experience and that's not possible right now. I think it would be best for schools to simply cancel classes, partially refund tuition, and make provisions for students to finish their work later when campuses re-open.
Prandtl–Glauert Singularity
With a static undersampled ray tracing image, the only thing you're doing is hallucinating extra pixels out of nothing but the surrounding pixels that you already have of the same frame.

With DLSS, it's more a matter of creatively combining pixels that actually exist. When you're upscaling two 1080p consecutive images + motion vectors to one 1440p image, the amount of source pixels is higher than the final number of pixels.

That said, with some config file hacking, people have been able to DLSS upscale from 540p to 1080p (with still surprisingly good results). In that case, the amount of source pixels is still lower than the number of destination pixels.

So my point is only semi-valid...

"Flatten the curve" they said. "Don't open too soon" they said. Shutdowns don't save lives, they only delay infections. Anyone who denies that the goalpost has moved is lying to your face.
> In the end, these determinations all place an unspoken price on human life

We are already doing this by letting people drive with personal vehicles every year even they cost dozens of thousands of lives. There is no zero risk, but we decide (we, as in, the society at large, not individuals) what level of harm is "acceptable".
They’re not cheap either.
> Amazon gained 5-8% on every sale because they didn't collect sales tax for a VERY long time.

In the USA alone.

In the other markets where Amazon had fast growth they had no such advantage because collecting sales tax / VAT is mandatory.

Wherever we were successful in establishing good policies that were followed, we had a couple of highly invested individuals, and we did code reviews across the shared codebase (vs only restricted to one's areas of ownership).

I think both points are important, but the latter is harder to achieve in practice: people lazy out by "optimising for efficiency" by not writing proper MRs, asking close colleagues for reviews, and thus missing out on broader shared knowledge, and coding standards (I much prefer "style") deteoriate.

Why would it be less likely to be rich and happy the smarter you are?

If you're smarter, it means you can learn more efficiently. If you learn more efficiently, you get a deeper understanding of the world.

If you understand how something works, you stop having the wrong expectations, so you're less likely to be unhappy.

Is there reasonable hope for a virus like this to be completely eliminated? I figure if it's in that sweet spot of contagiousness, incubation time and mortality, it's hard to eradicate completely. And unless it's eradicated completely, we'll absolutely have to live with reduced efficiency in hyper-alert testing of anyone with symptoms, unless we find that it ceases to be a serious problem once humans have had contact with it.

I feel like, in general, in most countries around the world, the police are bad people and not trustworthy. I have little respect for the police, and usually abide by a personal policy of avoiding them, and refusing to cooperate whenever possible.

In my one run-in with the police in the bay area, after I was mugged at gunpoint and called the police immediately after, they were entirely unreliable and unhelpful. They refused to go after the perpetrators despite having a clear opportunity to at the time.

In many countries, the police is corrupt, harassing civilians to extort them into giving bribes. In Indonesia, planting drugs during a stop to extort money out of tourists is a well known scam. A drivers license check is never passed without a bribe (amounting to the entire contents of your wallet).

In Hong Kong, where I live now, the police has a history of brutally repressing peaceful protests, including the shooting of unarmed civilians, and the cover-up of multiple rapes and murders perpetrated by policemen.

Oftentimes, even when they are not outrightly criminal, the police is there to enforce awful laws that infringe on people's basic human rights.

Fuck the police.

Almost looks like Uber and Lyft!

While Uber and Lyft might not be as crazy-profitable as people had hoped, establishing a marketplace by connecting a large number of suppliers with a large number of buyers is a valid business. The other big commonality is that both air travel and taxis are low-margin.
You have set up a scheme for which there is never a time to make change.

It's an emotional straw man to assume that speedy and decisive action is going to be haphazard. Please, let us act and act rationally and with thoughtfulness.
Looking at the data for Texas holistically, it's unclear that there is a change in the trend in the last few weeks.

In general I think this whole idealogical battle over reopening is really dumb. There isn't going to be either a significant economic recovery or a spike in cases, because only a tiny minority of people are going to actually behave the way they did before the shutdowns. Most people are still not going to engage in activities that really spread the virus significantly (densely pack restaurants, large indoor gatherings) and many, many people will wear masks.
In my experience, the first step in trying out a new system is installing it, configuring everything (from network connectivity to various peripherals), installing your favorite software and so on.
This gives a good idea on how to work with the system, how good the documentation is (as another poster already mentioned), how simple and consistent everything is.

Installing in a VM is not the best differentiation, since in many OSs these experience was streamlined and everything usually works out of the box, but the customization part is still a good example.

Of course in the end, you might get to a setup similar to other OSs - running a browser in a windows manager and a buch of other common tools (IDEs, editors, productivity apps), but the way you get there, and the amount of problems you encounter along the way is a major part of using an OS.

I think you can get a good impression in a few hours, and see how it's different. (For example, I had a similar experience with NixOS: In a few hours you see how radically different it is and learn how it fits you)

I was just listening to some random Eddie Griffin interview about policing that resonated with me. He basically said, like a lot of difficult things in life, you need to rotate in and out of it. The reason so many cops are trigger happy, or fearful, or prejudiced, is because they are overexposed to the job. They need to be on rotation, a few months on the street, a few months back at the desk (something lighter).

Right now a lot of them are in messy codebase, fixing showstopper bugs 24/7. They are basically burnt and their perspective is no longer balanced.
They dont, amendments exist. Its entirely possible for the states to agree to new rules that will supersede the previous law of the land.

They do because they establish basic strictures on the federal government itself. Critically the constitution, and bill of rights, outline what powers are granted to the federal government and which are expressly reserved for the states and citizens. Its the inverse of many (most?) countries that Ive seen. The fed government was granted limited, specific, powers by its constituents. The states and citizens do not derive their rights & powers from the federal government.
I've taken these feelings as cues to get off the internet and focus my energy toward the "real world", as cheesy as it may sound.

I feel more joy and direct benefit through improving interacting with the physical environment like cleaning the house, learning the science of baking and cooking and giving the results to friends and family.

It feels more like I'm living real life than having my life disappear into the ether of the web.
I'm not sure we're in disagreement: I agree that a rock's experience is practically null (maybe the fact that its atoms are connected and may be pushed and pulled together makes up the tiniest grain of internal experience), and that a worm's experience is still a world apart from ours and probably much closer to a rock than us. If we were to score an experience on how human-like it is, I'd expect the various elements I named to each refer to exponential or greater increases in score. Comparing the depth of a worm's experience to a human's would be like comparing the volume of a nearly 1-dimensional line segment to the volume of a many-dimensional hyperobject.

Our brains are just tons of biochemical circuits working very mechanistically, with many interesting feedback loops going on that make up our internal experience. A worm's brain has a small and probably countable number of feedback loops going on that I assume make up its tiny internal experience.
