The average internet user will not do that anyway, so the spammers rely on user's laziness and dulled senses, just like ad blindness, so they slowly start to accept this sick situation as the new normal. For us it becomes the new normal. For our children - the only normal.

Lokinet seem to claim (https://medium.com/@LokiNetwork/lokinet-b8f738fefe7a) that their network is more resistant to sybil attacks by introducing different incentives (an internal cryptocurrency) and not having a central authority (which TOR does have, and which users have to trust). It's unclear how this helps against a wealthy adversary determined to control the network via its own nodes.
> And then us gamers get more long-lived games as a benefit as well.

Which is only in the interesst of small companies, but against the interesst of big companies. Basically any single-game-company has a strong interesst in a long-selling game, take Minecraft, Stardew Valley or League of Legends. They are selling the same game for a decade and make good money with it. Though in case of League of Legends it's "game as a service"-approach, not just a single game without any extras.

Big companies like EA on the other side invest regulary in development of new games and need people to buy them all. Thouhg, they do have those "game as a service"-types too, for example Sims, which get's flooded with small extra-content, skins and little crap. Allowing modding there would totally kill this business-concept, because then people would not need anymore to buy the costly stuff from EA, but get it for free from somewhere.
Western medicine is good if your guts are hanging out after an accident.

But it completely fails to fully cure many chronic conditions. They just give you a pill.

Eastern medicine is more hollistic (meaning it fully address chronic conditions by finding the true source so that not more pills are needed).

So for this statement above: what he was trying to say is that western medicine labels any healing methods that try to use natural remedies or hollistic healing as "alternative".

Or in other words: he is trying to show you that big pharma is controlling everything to such extend that even just trying any hollistic (permanently curing by finding the real cause) medicine is being ignored in favor of permanent pill dispesing.

Why cure it permanently if you can profit from symptom management :)
I think it goes back a lot longer than that - humans have been using symbols to express feelings for thousands of years. Written language is really the child of that. Personally I think humans will always communicate via little pictogram symbols, regardless of how perfect written communication with words is. There is something very innate about two eyes and an upward curved line meaning happy - and lots of similar examples. Emojis are just a form of this.
Not all pilots are flying from the US.
What’s interested me about projects like this is the how of it all? Are they decompiling binaries to help write their version? Copying assets/textures/sounds? Or is it a painstaking clean room type of implementation?

These are Google-specific implementation issue, there is no philosophical reason why a single slide could not be a modular, referenceable object. I bet the old COM stuff could do it (of course it would then break if the document was moved, but again, these are implementation-specific bugs).
I agree - emojis often add emotional metadata to sentence. Often times it could be communicated with words but emojis are easier so naturally people are going to use them.

That's a lot to take in, let me get back to you a bit later.

Extremely interesting, I must say at first glance. You're definitely technically stronger than me in most of these topics, I'll have to work on it a bit to clarify some of these concepts.

Thanks for an insightful and candid thinking out loud. Much appreciated. I wish other people would chime in as well to further the discussion, I'm afraid I won't be able to elaborate much technically but rather speak high-level UX concepts. What's interesting is that your general approach seems to answer an essential problem (and opportunity!) in systems whose complexity far exceeds human cognition (that's what I get from the 'lens', not what's on Google about it but the object in your head you call as such; it is sometimes hard to explain such things in a word, rather takes a book chapter).

Thanks again, I'll revisit this WE.
It'll only rebuild the packages that depended on that particular openssl. This is an area where Nix shines, because all packages are explicitly bound to their dependencies, it means it's no longer relevant what one file happens to be occupying `/usr/lib/libssl.so`, or even `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6`, so you can be running different apps that rely on totally different glibc versions alongside each other with no problems.

I think the product designers have the right approach here. Having worked in a lot of large corporates, you find a lot of people who are just experts in using some over complicated piece of garbage software. If I have to attend a 3 day training seminar just to figure out the basic functionality of your app, then I think you’ve done it wrong.

Software should make it as easy as possible for people to immediately start doing something useful with it. Make advanced features available via the API, and make sure logs and APM are easy to ingest. Advanced users likely won’t have any interest in your web interface anyhow.

This basically means that they did not modify their lifestyle for remote work.

Purging office bullshit from your life requires some changes in lifestyle, no question about it. The workplace has to be established, distractions (much less than what is in the office, but still) have to be managed. Social needs have to be satisfied sy some other means.

Still, work from anywhere (not home, mind you, and please do not confuse the two) is much better.

I guess there are two ways.
1. Listen to your gut and be passionate about it. If you truly believe in your idea, you won't give up that easily. Even if you do, you won't feel bad about wasting that time. At least you tried and no "what-ifs" will ever haunt you.
2. Do some research. If you are a more practical type of person, explore your idea from every angle. Collect the data and analyze the potential.
If you ask me, my personal approach is the first one.

Are they calculating how much the droplets travel, or how much viral load someone gets at a specific distance?

This sounds confusing. If I remember correctly, R0 for the virus was around 3 before it was controlled. Is it really plausible that a virus that can spread through droplets due to asymptomatic people breathing in the street, where those droplets travel 6m, would have an R0 as low as 3? Wouldn't it just infect everybody immediately? What am I missing?

I agree about using the right tool for the job. And I know UE4 Blueprints are popular so they must be doing something right. Personally I tried using them for a while and gave up. My own experience was:

1) It took me longer to create blueprints than it would have taken to write the equivalent code. I kept finding myself thinking "I could do this in 5 seconds with a couple of lines of code"

2) The blueprints quickly became unwieldy. A tangle of boxes and wires that I couldn't decipher. I find code easier to read, as a rule.

3) I didn't find it any simpler than writing code. A Blueprint is basically a parse tree. It maps pretty much 1:1 to code; it's just a visual representation of code.

>This basically means that they did not modify their lifestyle for remote work.

I really can't understand how one can be this shallow minded. Maybe the life style required to make remote work effective is not the desirable lifestyle for everyone? Maybe people value different things in life? Or maybe some people actually enjoy the place of their work and the physical presence of their coworkers?

>Purging office bullshit

For a lot of people offices offers a lot more benefits other than bullshit. Maybe your experience with office work came from a place with super toxic work culture? It sure sounds like it from how bitter you sound and I can understand how that contributed to your bias.

For you, and for the type of work you do, maybe. But blanket statements like that is just silly.

Well, you have to read between the lines a lot on these kinds of announcements, but what I see is a massive win for Gnome:

Further, both Rothschild Patent Imaging and Leigh Rothschild are granting a release and covenant to any software that is released under an existing Open Source Initiative approved license (and subsequent versions thereof), including for the entire Rothschild portfolio of patents, to the extent such software forms a material part of the infringement allegation.

> You don't have to stay at home, you just need internet access. This means you have the freedom to work from anywhere on the globe as long as you can access the web.

This sounds great, unless you have a mortgage on a house which needs paying regardless of whether you're living there, and children in school who can't be moved all the time. Although I'll admit that since my employer is looking at 100% remote, it opens the door to moving to a nicer/cheaper house outside of the office-commutable bubble.

Perhaps a compromise is using shared office space closer to home (short commute, separation of home/work life, social interaction while you're making a cup of tea).

I really like WFH. And I’m fortunate to work for a tech company that has been allowing this for years now.

I don't think it has anything to do with corruption and terrible healthcare (mistakes were made, but as a resident there, I think the system works pretty well nevertheless, or at least used to be pre-crisis).

I think it has more to do with the route of entry of the virus in the territory, which hit hospitals first (not closing down Alzano Lombardo was a grave mistake), then retirement homes (an error shared with Lazio and elsewhere).

This meant that the newly-infected population was largely skewed towards the most vulnerable, and coupled with imperfect knowledge about treatment, the net result was a lot of deaths.
It's not the pipeline that falls apart, it's the formatting of data that is applied too early in the process. Report the sizes numerically in the same unit, sort them numerically, and then format the numbers in a human readable fashion.

`sort -h` is only needed because `du -h` is used in the first place. I admit that `du -h` comes in handy often, it is better not used for further processing.

Your proposed approach is not only more Unix-like, but also does not require bloated implementations of `du` and `sort` capable of parsing human-readable size indications.

It just so happens that currently, one of the two "sides" relies heavily on disinformation; so anything that tries to fight disinformation (including remaining impartial) is that side's enemy. So those things end up being considered "left-wing".
