If it's possible to have "bad art", then it doesn't really follow that only beautiful or conceptually interesting programs qualify as art. Either it's all art - the beautiful and the interesting with the boring and ugly - or none of it is. Maybe you'd agree 'artfully constructed' covers what you mean?

I think art is contextual. Some art comes with that context built into the mind of the observer, like paintings or music, or something that tells a story - and there are many, many ways to tell a story.

Other art has its context declared for the observer, like Duchamp's 'ready-made' sculptures.
I don’t understand what statistics have to do with this.

It might be possible that the quarantine and economic hardships are a factor at play, but the ultimate causative factor is that non-white Americans are tired of both the veiled and bald faced racism and mistreatment that is a daily issue.

Someone ported out my google voice number after getting my business card at DC24. I couldn't get anyone at google to help me out. Finally went thru my contacts on linkedin, found a guy I used to work with who was at google now. He was able to get someone to contact me at google about the issue and I got my number back.
All those people who downvoted me don't understand neither HTTPS nor how this addon works. The addon is only at value when you request an HTTP url for a website that doesn't automatically redirect you to the HTTPS url. It's almost useless since the vast majority of websites automatically redirect you.
Something I think is underappreciated is that if something is supported by ads instead of a subscription, then it is more accessible to people who don't have very much money.

Google used to run a program called Contributor which let you pay them the minimum amount you'd have to to opt out of ads (you basically just paid them and they used your money to automatically outbid everyone who wanted to advertise to you). I wish they brought this back because I really liked it. They changed it completely so it only worked with "participating sites" [0], which was basically nobody, then killed it altogether (but left the page up).

Nvidia actually DOES have good OpenGL drivers that are unfortunately proprietary. AMD GPU drivers have been getting progressively better to where they represent a valid alternative for gaming. Intel GPU drivers have long been good enough for general use.

I think the principal is that if Google had licensed Fuchsia in such a way as to require release of source code to kernel modules that companies would rightly fear being sued for violating the copyright of a mega corp like google in a way that GPL violators don't fear say the free software foundation.

In this case, there was no evidence that 'duck and cover' saved any lives, even though some people who saw that media experienced bombs and explosions for other reasons.

Doing something ineffective is frequently better than doing nothing in the political world. The population won't accept a president saying 'We're really worried about the Soviets bombs, but we've decided the best action is to do nothing'. Saying "we're training everyone what to do if a nuke explodes" is part of a strategy to make the public think you have control of the situation.
Everyone is having their go at this, blame younger generations for fighting GPL, while favouring other license models.

GPL is the only reason Linux still exits, not for long though, when even Linux Foundation has decided to go with something else for IoT, namely Zephyr, which is neither Linux based, nor under GPL license.

In about 20 years we will be back at shareware and public domain, enjoy what is left while it lasts.

It doesn't matter if Fucschia is a success, Android is already like this, since Project Treble, Linux drivers are "legacy" drivers on Android, all new drivers use a microkernel approach with Android IPC, basically how Fuschia drivers work.
Like with any Risk, the actions are: Prevent, Detect, Correct (and least used Transfer).

Rule of thumb that is used in banking, 'sanity check'. Cheap and effective way to see if the gains-number (e.g. xp/coin gain) is making sense. If a top player can make 100k per hour and you get a newbie making 500k/h, you better start reading logs/snooping. The value of equip when a player saves & exits would not be x100000 from the previous time he/she saved and exited (and other similar metrics).

It is an ongoing process to make and maintain a useful dashboard. Also (I've seen it happening in some MUDs), you start snooping random players at times (preferably ones with massive gains) and see what is what.

Imho the cheapest way is to detect and correct, not prevent cheating. Unless you have an army of devs scouring the internet looking for cheating solutions that can work out preventative methods.

A few notes. It doesn't seem to work with documents that have multiple columns. Pushing text over just overwrites the other column. It doesn't seem to reflow text where the source document obviously had margins possibly because that information is looooong gone. Hitting enter to move text to the next line didn't move other text it just again seemed to overwrite it.
This thread makes the most sense to me.

If you watch the videos of the particles people emit when sneezing or talking loudly, you'd be astonished (I was). Apparently these particles can hang in the air for very long periods of time and circulate throughout an enclosed space.

It seems to me that the more of these particles you inhale, the more spots in your lungs they could land.

If this thread is correct, the infection sites would be somewhat localized, especially to start. A person could potentially have one or two internal infection sites and their immune system respond in plenty time for them to avoid noticing the effects of the virus infections, whereas the same person could get many, many infection sites throughout their lungs, and then eventually be completely unable to breathe as each location slowly spreads to cover a large surface area of the lung.

The implications are that anything you can do to reduce your chances of inhaling these particles increases your chances of not getting a noticeable infection.

This means avoiding enclosed spaces with others and wearing masks. I wonder if masks will become the new style.

Of course, I could further reduce risk by having a hot standby server. But I'm not sure the costs for that are warranted, given the extremely low risk of that happening.

There's an easy solution to this: what economists call price discrimination. Basically, people who can afford to pay more, pay more, and people who can't afford to pay more, don't.

It looks like the Contributor program you describe could have been set up to do this.

Thanks for writing! I'm impressed by your dedication and effort, but also a thanks for your writing style, which was really easy to follow. I've read a lot about the SNES and Mega Drive before, but you've given me the best understanding of how the sprite updates per frame are limited by CPU time (and it's nice to see someone else who suffered with bad 50Hz versions). Are you tempted to try this for another console. I've always wondered how horrible programming the N64 must be!
Haven't checked Fuchsia in a while, very glad to see that they have extended the documentation.

Did they improve the initial steps to get up and running too?

(I remember it took hours to clone all the subprojects and most of the times something failed along the way, even worse than downloading the Android sources)
My model is:

- A virion has to infect a cell before it becomes inactivated. It could encounter something in the intercellular space or extracellular matrix which renders it inactive, or it may be exposed to something in the environment for long enough to become inactive, like a random O3 molecule or hydroxy radical perhaps.

- The virion can successfully enter a cell but something can happen to interfere with replication, like a mutation event or some localized cell state, like the cell is preparing for mitosis, apoptosis, etc.

- The virion successfully enters a cell but the cell is destroyed by the immune system before significant quantities of virus are produced.

I'm just guessing, because I don't have much more than a basic understanding of microbiology. I think it is definitely possible to become infected via a single virion though.

Apparently everyone is unhappy with GPL.

I had this same inspiration from Chris McCord's talk about LiveView ~1.5 years back, and created Purview: https://github.com/karthikv/purview - we've been using it in production at the company I work at for over a year now.

It's great to see a similar mindset here, and I hope an approach like this becomes more widely used. I appreciate how Caldera is built using React's reconciler and is centered around hooks, both of which are different than the approach Purview takes.

Two of the challenges we've experienced here:

- Transferring server-side state between processes: in production, you'll likely have multiple Node processes handling requests via the cluster module or other load balancing. If a client were to disconnect their websocket temporarily (e.g. put their laptop to sleep), they can be reconnected to a different process, which doesn't have the state of their components. As a result, you'll need some way to transfer/persist component state between processes. This same issue will also arise during deploys--you'll spawn new processes with your new code, but you don't want to disrupt existing clients, so those new processes need to load existing component state from old processes. Even more subtly, this issue can occur on page load, since two requests need to be made: one to fetch the initial page and one to initiate the websocket connection. Those two requests can be sent to two different processes/boxes.

- Working with existing client-side libraries, like selectize or date range pickers. We've opted to use the Web Component spec to create custom tags that can be sent down just like normal tags from the server, but making sure these interoperate nicely with server-side state is challenging.

Very excited to see how Caldera tackles these problems!
The explosive yield of the Tsar Bomba was purposefully reduced considerably, the fallout from a full yield test was too much even for the Soviets.

Yes. This is because in the full yield version, you double the yield by adding a jacket of Uranium that is fissioned by neutrons from the fusion reaction. That makes it a very dirty extra 50MT, distributing those hot Uranium fission products far and wide.
jdh30, the author of both comments, is a massive OCaml fanboy and Haskell hater. I've seen him try to take Haskell performance numbers and interpret them using the wrong units to make them look worse. I'd take anything that he says about Haskell with a big, big grain of salt!
The vast majority of the population will never fly in a leaded gas powered plane, so I'd think the harm is much more than the gain. Said in another way, it probably wouldn't take much convincing to get a proposition passed to ban leaded gas for aviation.
The tl;dr is "groups in indoor spaces, including family gatherings, are known bad". Other things seem to be less important, but we haven't sorted them out yet and we still have a large chunk of cases whose transmission can't be accounted for.

The real problem is that this means that schools and colleges are now proven known bad.

We know they exist. The point of the conversation is how prevalent they are (what you’re inflating), and how much of the behavior is attributable to the dog’s nature (in my opinion, near none; pit bulls are naturally sweet and playful).
Strongly disagree with this sentiment. Not everyone has the time, skills, or even the "cred" to get their hands dirty.

Giving money to good causes is never weak. It is an extraordinarily effective tool for those of us who want to help.

An effective legal advocacy or lobby group is a force multiplier - they're hands down the best "bang for your buck" in this situation.

By contrast, me spending a day working with inner city youth or building Habitat for Humanity is laudable or protesting in the streets is at best effective on a much smaller scale.

And secondly, this message is clearly aimed squarely at other well to do concerned citizens like him who are looking for ways to help.

He is effectively vetting these organizations as "acceptable by the CitiGroup C suite." As an example, I forwarded this to my parents who would never "get their hands dirty" but also are open to donating to good causes.

This will reach them in a way no celebrity tweet or protest sign possibly could.

Those protests are ripe for foreign influence escalating the situation. USA knows this best of all with its history of amplifying civil unrest abroad in order to advance its geopolitical goals.

For USA the most recent were the Honk-Kong protests which it used to try undermining China. So wondering how China will respond now. Russia might try promoting Black Lives Matter again to escalate the tensions. Then there is Iran too. Would be interesting to somehow get the list of all the players.
