The last bit sounds like the plot of Minority Report.

I get that being a homicide researcher you're rather working on the assumption that a non-zero homicide rate is a problem that can be solved with a sufficiently clever policy. What if it's just a natural fact, like the laws of gravity? What possible solution could there be to homicide as a category of crimes beyond literally being able to see into the future or people's brains, a la Minority Report or Black Mirror? Isn't there a risk the mentality of a "war on homicide" (you talk of surrender) is actually more dangerous than the problem itself?

Attacks on cell towers is a very new problem. The 5G conspiracy theories are stupid, but you know, I got into a conversation with some coworkers about them the other day. We all laughed at how dumb these theories are until one guy said his mother believes it and he couldn't find a way to convince her otherwise.

The source wasn't YouTube. It was just her social circle. Communicating with WhatsApp and FB groups of course because of lockdown but people talk in real life too and always will.

The difficulty became apparent when I did a few quick searches for "5g coronavirus theories". The top search results were all attempted debunkings - pretty good. Unfortunately the debunkings themselves were not. I don't think I've ever seen such crap attempts at debunking a conspiracy theory. The top hits were mostly newspapers, and a common theme was "the world is now full of idiots who believe conspiracy theories, like 5G causing coronavirus or that there are cures for COVID" where the latter phrase linked to a doctor selling hydroxychloroquine. Which just yesterday the UK government started buying in bulk in case it turns out to be a cure. The article also lumped people protesting against lockdown (normal, expected) with 5G conspiracy theorists (not normal, not expected).

So this is the first reason why the theories aren't going away - the sort of people who attempt to debunk them keep lumping them together with any skepticism of government policy at all. But most people understand that being skeptical of a global mass house arrest justified via buggy computer model isn't at all irrational, so when they're told 5G theories are just like that, it just makes the problem worse.

For these conspiracy theories to be successfully debunked will require the debunkers to stop arguing from authority. People don't trust the authorities. That's why they believe in a massive conspiracy to begin with.
I second this.

It is now in my default toolbox and almost all my models go through it.

It is probably because Hutterer was also one of the maintainer of xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-synaptics and now libinput. (AFAIK)
>Well that's capitalism right?

It is indeed. It's quite a risky hand to play at a time where

- cynicism about the tech industry has never been higher

- there's a magnifying glass on the inequality wrought by the hands of hardheaded capitalism in the West

- globalism is being rejected

- million of jobs have been lost

- everything is being propped up with fiscal stimulus, in the coming months the true cost of the financial damage on the economy will come to fruition

But if Tobias Lutke, Zuckerberg, etc. want to be the face of moving jobs out of the US and Canada in these times then by all means they can go ahead. Hopefully, if there's consequences to bear then it'll be on their heads too, and not the staff they've decided to drag along for the ride.
Anecdotally, yesterday I accidentally learned that my relative clicks OK in any dialog window within 200ms without even attempt to read the message. So the alert you suggest would slightly help 1% of geeks and will annoy 99% of the users.

To the extent that it's relevant to the article in the OP, it could sure be better than normal for a lot of people. Working from home where previously it was not available, minimum wage being paid for people forced to stay home. It's basically a forced vacation. I'm sure some business owners are unhappy, but frankly I find reduced suicide rate predictable.

I am actually using one such micropayment system. This is the recaptcha solver that solves every recaptcha I encounter on any web page, and I pay 3 cents for that service. I refill my account with $5 once every few months. No decision is involved, in many cases I overpay, but no complains here, still worth it. So if a mechanism exists that allows to automate the decision "pay or not to pay", even if the mechanism is not perfect, it could work.

You can definitely do worse than 50/50: just flip your solution and put a single white marble in one of the bags. By the way, your solution--single black marble in one bag, all other marbles in the other bag--is optimal; do you know of a way to prove it? Besides just exhaustive enumeration, that is.
The mistake here is equating English with the set of symbols borrowed from the English language for the purpose of creating a new language.

> "Enhance pointer precision" (award for the most misleading title because it actually makes precision worse)

I would argue that it does enhance the precision if it's correctly implemented. (I haven't used Windows in a decade, so I can't comment on that point.)

Example: on a laptop, move the cursor to the bottom left corner of the screen. In one very slow continuous swipe, drag your finger from the bottom left to the top right of your touchpad. How far across your screen do you get? In my case, I get only about 1/3 of the way across the diagonal.

Assume I have no acceleration feature on my touchpad driver. This means I have two options to make the touchpad usable. Either (a) I can get used to dragging across the entire touchpad 3+ times to get the cursor across the screen, or (b) I can turn the touchpad speed way up. Suppose I do the latter.

Now suppose my cursor is 10px away from some target and I want to hit that target with a quick movement on the touchpad. Because of the very high speed required by the previous change, my accuracy is greatly reduced. I have trouble hitting small targets with tiny movements on the touchpad.

On the contrary, acceleration gets me the best of both worlds. With one quick swipe, I can get the cursor all the way across the screen. This is the "expected" behavior most people have for a laptop the first time they pick it up. On the other hand, when I'm trying to hit a small target with a slow cursor movement, I have a much easier time doing that. This feels like "enhanced precision" to your average user - the cursor moves more slowly and accurately when I need it to.
While a good idea in general, I don't know how many doors would open up right now after knocking. Coronacrisis and social distancing make this approach harder than ever, most offices are working remotely, and most service industry places are closed.
Thank you. I can't believe I only just noticed the 'search' box at the bottom of the page...
Why was this downvoted? It is true that there is difference between "it is illegal to go outside" and "a lot changed, but you still can go for walk or sport".
I would suggest you do the following:
1. Practice. Keep doing software development activities (code websites, clone apps)
2. Understand the basics. You should know the basics and fundamentals by heart. I suggest you read on about Data Structures and Algorithms.
3. Always write down what you learn.
The Simplicity Paradox
Oh, I'm not one with such beliefs. I think the work being spread over certain timezones is the likely direction it'll go in, which still vastly broadens the talent pool for the companies involved.

An example being Shopify's announcement today was followed with them switching previously Canadian, or Toronto/Ottawa specific roles to being remote and available within the Americas.
We have other pandemics that we could probably test this hypothesis with, but I suspect that it would be more accurate to say that how we see this particular pandemic is what causes both the massive economic damage and the feelings of hopelessness, suicides, etc. Businesses are losing customers not because the government imposed a lockdown, but because people think they can stop the pandemic and avoid death by staying away. Though there's probably not going to be much enthusiasm from the media towards exploring this idea, since it puts the economic damage etc squarely on their heads.
I've worked across time zones too. Your problem is that you try to fight their existence and want it to be like "your buddy across the hallway". But it's not. If you accept that then you can find effective ways to communicate with them.
Remembering that Wikipedia is also heavily biased.
Marvin is one of the better todo apps out there in my opinion. I don't use it now but whenever I feel stressed out or anxious because of how much work I have to do or I've picked an ambitious goal for myself, I read their blog (especially this page) https://blog.amazingmarvin.com/break-large-projects-tasks-bi... which contains a lot of useful information.

Nowadays I just use a notebook and a pencil and feel that is infinitely better than any app. Every time I've decided to start using a new todo app, or productivity app, I get this burst of motivation. It feels like I've already made progress. Especially if you pay for one, it almost feels like you're buying productivty at first "Yes, this is the start of me being super organised and super productive!". In reality, you can't buy productivity. Pen and paper for me, for now.
Even on a fairly high quality connection, you still lose a significant proportion of the non-verbal communication on a video call. The fidelity just isn't the same when you're looking at the slightly laggy image of a person on a small screen vs being able to see them in real life.

It presents real challenges working with people that you don't already know in person.
Yep, it's interesting we're absorbing costs in known areas to unknown costs in unknown areas. I'd say focus on the known, and get more skeptical about the worst case scenarios we're comparing against. As always the "compared to what" question is sometimes not even an entity in reality for comparison but a hypothetical, maybe driven by fear.
They're not doing this for marketing reasons. They're doing it because they believe by controlling YouTube they control what people think. Even if they're wrong it's dystopian and suggests a megalomanic attitude.

I forgot the details, but I remember that my XT clone had does MSDOS 2.11 and whatever version of gwbasic came with that, and MUSIC.BAS would always play the notes slightly out of sync with the visuals, and the prompt would return before the last note played.

Some day I saw it running on a friends machine, and there everything looked fine. I copied his gwbasic.exe and lo and behold, now it worked on my machine too. The version numbers were also different, but I couldn't tell you either one now.
Whatever $100K is to someone, I know that what I said about salary is true. I’ve worked for small VC back companies with less than $10 million in revenue. $100K wouldn’t have made a difference either way.
Near zero (not actual 0%) is definitely achievable and within grasp. We just end up playing funding politics because we don't like the price-tag and liberty-curtailment associated with the value of human life and these things we're trying to solve.

Car accidents? Drunk driving? Murders? Dark-web illegal activities? Domestic violence? Those and many others are all solvable problems that we can get very close to zero instances. But right now we're quibbling and putting measures in place that don't get the numbers anywhere close to zero, they just "incrementally" reduce instances and we all applaud and find those meaningful whilst 99% solutions are ignored.
Could you not use permissions.request() [0] to ask for access to a given site on-the-fly, when the user actually visits it? That seems to be how, for example, Reddit Enhancement Suite goes about getting perms for all the various sites it supports embedding content from (imgur, twitter etc) - you get a prompt when you click to open an embed for a site you haven't granted the permission for already.

I always wonder if Forstall will ever return to Apple to save it, just like Jobs once did. Surely cash is not a problem right now, to say the least, but I feel the spirit is fading. While there is Apple University and all that, he's probably the closest to a true Jobs replacement that is—or might ever be—around (for better or for worse).

Like him or not, the President is a master at branding. If you really think he is going to have his record setting rallies literally filled with people with Q shirts on and not have control of that situation; it's you who is confused.

People who want can find them @ q map dot pub, or a level up at crowd sourced news sites like we are the news dot ws, or even a level up from that at citizen free press dot com.

Conversely, my 5 person team is distributed across California, Europe, UAE, and India. It's hard for us to all sync together like you mentioned, but we use our overlap times to work together as much as possible and are very diligent about "hand-off" procedures. The upside of this is that we have 24 hour work cycles. I can go to bed and wake up to a bunch of progress being made. I'm actually a huge fan of this "overlapping time zone" style, as opposed to the opposite time zone style that you mention.

Your fault is using pika. I thought the same untill I tried some other python libraries . Try Oslo messaging . It's used in openstack (enough said).
It is not illegal to go outside in California either. Walking, running, bicycling, etc. are encouraged.
I think you would have got a different reception if you didn't include the "the risk is way overblown" bit. Up till that point, yeah it's morbid but funny. After that point it seems even confusing - how can this person not realise the bus number is not meant to be taken literally?

But yeah, I don't even walk out in front of vehicles that I'm not certain will stop when I have a green light and they have a red light. This surely pisses some drivers off when I stop in the middle of the road waiting for them to stop. They seem to be like "I'm not going to kill you and I'm offended you act like I will".
If I understand correctly you can still do that, just the underlying component will be adding/removing a CSS class instead of injecting the actual styles.
I usually use the classnames library to help with this but obviously not a requirement (https://www.npmjs.com/package/circular-dependency-plugin)
I find it's also easier to test for the presence of css classnames based on the provided props than it is to test for the presence of mutiple style rules.
I prefer Oxford spelling. Why bother having Z if you can't use it?
If they were going to get through anyway, then where's the harm in then diverting some attention to bring others along too?

Also, from the context given here it's not as black and white as pass vs non-pass or "lowering standards" - it's about a rolling cut off on the amount of students they can take.
Starting by Clang and GCC, I bet that for most relevant C projects there is somehow an equivalent written in C++, or even more than one, with the exception of UNIX kernel clones.

Probably because that's not related to remote work and school?
The ABI breaks when you change string implementation to use an optimization for small strings. Therefore you can't optimize them without breaking ABI.

C has no strings.

The optimization was considered vital enough for a rare break to actually happen but there are multiple such clear wins that cannot be implemented because of ABI stability. Sometimes it's a major pain to have to keep piling the cruft on.

Fuck you asshole.
That it inevitably means dropping the most challenging i.e. most valuable parts of the course? Not only are resources not infinite; if you make them accessible to worse students, that necessarily means removing the parts which are inaccessible.
I can see the other side of "building from a theme" or "building from a template", where you can choose a template that works for everyone, even old people, the colorblind, or even completely blind.

It is better than the 90's web pages where people could choose any foreground or background color, and people were free to choose yellow on green.

A bit off-topic, but I like the tty-player you're using for the demo (and apparently have created). https://tty-player.chrismorgan.info/

And then the CDNs no platform them and and then someone who agrees with the Wojcickis of the world DoS attacks you and then you're gone.

This argument ends with "just build an entirely parallel internet". It incentivises radicalism inside tech and communication companies. It incentivises the "play to win" mentality we see in universities in which the hard left relentlessly attacks anyone they disagree with using any tactic they can get away with, which are often illegal tactics when the rules are enforced by people who agree with them.

This stuff ends with a totally lawless society, a la China. It's the logical end-game of allowing the hard left to dominate: the rules are just words on paper, what matters is your ideological loyalty to authority. We can see it happening before our eyes and it's terrifying.

You can still educate perfectly fine while making the assignments and tests very difficult. Do students attend schools to get A’s or to get educated?

> It just happens that achievement at top universities is generally high across the board.

Happens at lower universities as well. Turns out the cause isn’t “high achievement” but instead it’s entire generations of students that treat anything lower than an A as a failure and subsequently pressure admin to make the prof back off.

Curiously recurring, even! [0]

Although what you're showing seems to be a variation on the curiously recurring template pattern, as the classes being mixed are listed 'symmetrically' without much regard for which will inherit from which. I found a blog post on 'mixin classes', which are like the CRTP but invert the inheritance relation. [1] What you've shown seems to be a third way.

I believe you're thinking of the "Facebook Container" addon - it's "official", in that it's made by people at Mozilla & has their corporate blessing, but it's not installed by default.

AIUI, the only "container" functionality built-in to the browser is... infrastructure, I guess you'd call it: Firefox provides all the tools for addons to do stuff with containers, but doesn't actually do anything with them itself.
