Why not physical analogue controls that are motorised like in some aeroplane controls. You can turn the dial, or the computer can turn the dial - and supposedly (737Max aside) allow physical control to override.

Refunds are a pretty hard thing for universities to do though, in a lot of cases the money has already been spent. If the question is how much they charge for next semester (assuming closure or mostly online learning) then I think there's a stronger argument to not charge students as much.

The student perspective is basically that you're already paying so much, that the least the university can do is do good on what's being paid for or in the event where that is not possible, simply don't charge for what's not going to happen in the fall.

Yeah, Windows backwards compatibility has been getting worse, but consider the following:

You are given a binary for a GUI application, compiled in 2001. You drop the binary on your system and run it. If it is a Windows application, it has a much better chance of working fine on both Windows and Linux than it does on Linux alone if it is a Linux application!

Why is it sad it is flagged? There's nothing really to discuss. The video just shows some arrests with very little other context. I don't care whether they call themselves journalists. People are rioting in the area. For all I know, they could have been taking actions to harass the cops for no good reason prior to the part they posted. "Journalists" are quite known for removing important context from video/audio to tell a story they want the viewers to believe. Now I'm not saying that is what they did, but it is just as believable as the racism story being pushed.

Their recommendation is that a future trial should test whether this treatment possibility shows any change on infected patients in controlled settings:

“A trial should assess whether increasing MGP and protein S activity by vitamin K administration improves Covid-19 outcomes.”

It is unknown if this helps or not - they are simply noting that the data encourages human testing.

In terms of i/o capability, the specs of the Madiface XT would work well for the purposes I'm proposing.

But the point is that I want open source drivers, and open source hardware! I don't want to depend on the health and the priorities of a commercial entity. I want to be able to inspect the driver software and contribute towards perfecting it!

It includes a lot of Unixy “deep cuts” that aren’t in homebrew, it doesn’t stretch an unrelated analogy into its own jargon (brew, cask, etc.), it easily allows variants of builds when the defaults won’t do, it stays sandboxed in its own namespace by default, etc.

The original problem the brew developers seemed to have with MacPorts (no binary distribution) is now resolved and MP retains all of the flexibility of a source-based package manager.

I also “like” sudoing package installation/removal of system packages. It’s no different from any other Unix package manager. If I’m the only user, I can chown /opt/local Or install to my home directory and run MP without sudo.
On top of that, such Bisquick takes hours of learning, deployment, troubleshooting and has complex failure modes compared to few cronjobs and trivial scripts.

As much as it sucks for the 2000 people who won't have their offers honored and especially who many have left other roles for the chance to work at Google, this is the devil's bargin of contract work. You are there specifically so the company can adjust labor resources in real time and with minimal consequences or press. If you don't want to be treated as extra-disposable and second class then don't take contacts, because they are higher risk than FTE.

Of course you will also be cutting yourself off from opportunities to quickly gain new experiences, and contracts can frequently lead to FTE offers if your agency structures their contract in your favor.
If you are using BigQuery and your "workflow" amounts to importing data from Postgres/MySQL databases into BQ and then running a series of SQL statements into other BigQuery tables - you might want to look at Maestro, it written in Go and is SQL-centric, there is no Python dependency hell to sort out:

I'm sorry, but technology does not exist in a vacuum insulated from the rest of the universe. An implementation of any given application, its code, its infrastructure, and its services may be apolitical, but as a platform that is used for communication it is important that conversations be had about how these platforms are used. Perhaps you can bury your head in the sand and pretend that society is not falling apart at the seams due in large part to the spread of misinformation across any number of internet forums and social media services, but I think the rest of us may have an opinion that is inimical to ignoring the problem.
> Why do people of the U.K. continue to think that their opinion matters anymore, in regards to Hong Kong?

> All British government administration of Hong Kong, terminated at the moment of the handover in 1997.

You answer your own question. The handover wasn't, but is a legally binding agreement with the United Kingdom, where among other things the "One country, two systems" principle was agreed to be in effect until 2047.

> And let’s be honest here, when the British signed the 99-year lease, they never really expected to leave Hong Kong.

The 99-year lease was only in regards to the New Territories. The Treaty of Nanking stipulates that HK Island was ceded "in perpetuity" to the UK. There's also the 1860 Convention of Peking. The PRC did not "recognize" this during negotiations, but as we can all see it seems par for the course for the PRC to simply "recognize" whatever parts they agree with at the time.

If one is to draw the purely legal argument here, at least be consistent.

This is worthy of discussion here, though. This is a confusing and excessive use of authority—the implications of which are significant and alarming.

To that point, how does this situation get fixed? Personally, this seems like a total failure of local governments. This should have been a relatively easy situation to mitigate (arrest the officer involved with the murder, even if just for show to calm folks down).

Now that it's spiraled, we're seeing signs of a police state which is very ominous. The question, though, is how calculated is this? My rational mind tells me that this level of force isn't something planned or trained for; just a reaction to the current events.

But it does set a precedent and as a country, we should be absolutely on guard and discussing this.

I only had a painful dentist memory because I fell off my bike and landed on a tooth. Poor hospital doctor had to pick broken bits of tooth out of my lip and then seal it up again with superglue.

Upshot of the preprint research is that Vitamin K may be beneficial in breaking up the blood clots in COVID-19.
Extrahepatic vitamin K status was severely reduced in Covid-19 patients, as reflected by elevated inactive MGP, and related to poor outcome. Procoagulant prothrombin activity remained preserved in the majority of Covid-19 patients, which is compatible with the increased thrombogenicity that is frequently observed in severe Covid-19. Impaired MGP activation was linked to accelerated elastic fiber degradation and premorbid vascular calcifications.
HN is just not that kind of site, really. The existence of the new page does not 'prove' anything more than the name.

"Adipose tissue (“belly fat”) appears to absorb but not release vitamin D. If we want to do some armchair hypothesizing, perhaps people historically used to lose weight in winter, which definitely would release the stored vitamin D just when it was needed."

This is an interesting idea. It's believed our bodies get fat to ensure we have energy when food is scarce. It makes sense that we'd also want to have vitamins available too.

Ten+ years ago, it was common for best selling games of the year to be a console exclusives. Today is much more rare.

The Switch may be the most popular console, but it's install base is a small fraction of PS4+XBone+PC+Switch. So even Nintendo exclusives purchased by the majority of owners can't sell as many units as the latest Call of Duty. Heck, even the The Witcher 3 has sold more units than the best selling Switch game.

I just loaded the source for Luarocks on Sublime Text and my RAM usage while browsing some Lua code in it is 31MB, pretty decent.

If you're doing Lua, there is always Zero Brane Studio (https://studio.zerobrane.com/) which is built with Lua and very nimble (uses wxLua which is wxWidgets + Lua), unfortunately it is not playing well with my hidpi screen. Another good option for Lua developers is TextAdept (https://foicica.com/textadept/) which has wonderful support for extending it using Lua, IMO it is like an Emacs but with Lua. Those editors are available as ia32. I didn't succeeded in compiling ZeroBrane studio for arm64 even though I managed to compile both Lua and wxWidgets for it. As for TextAdept it uses GTK and that is not available for Windows on ARM.

For the past week I've been using sublime text and am quite happy with it. I also use VSCode when I need some more intelisense help.

The thing about this though is that age labeling is not the only thing that's going on, it's not just internal. Age labeling when done by others (recruiters, company policy, etc) is age discrimination, and can actually prevent entry into the tech industry. For a lot of people it's not that age is a number, it's that age is yet ANOTHER number, one they also can't do anything about.

The internalization is hard too, to be honest. For a lot of people going back to school or changing careers (especially in the tech industry), it can be much harder to stay motivated when others are in a completely different stage of life than you.
