If you are talking about navy videos like tictac and gimbal, those videos are probably showing ordinary things through IR camera which makes it look strange. Gimbal videos is even named "gimbal" as the effect seen in the video is cause due to gimbal rotation.

I'm sure US has some kind of secret programme, but I doubt they released the videos showing their own top secret programme. It's much more likely that they released it to throw a bit of a smokescreen and cause their peers like China to expend resources trying to research it. They are releasing some kind of strange patents as well, that seem to be type of pseudoscience which could be a similar play.
Sometimes a virus will mutate to become less deadly. Could that be happening right now with COVID-19? Maybe. Judge for yourself...

For most of the spectrum, the devices and services that consumers may purchase are limited to those available from giant hierarchical oligopolies. In the ISM bands, we have a bunch of different technologies, but most importantly Wifi. There are much less stringent barriers to anyone using or selling devices and services that use Wifi. And it all works! Those who live in dense urban areas sometimes scoff at Wifi, but what they're seeing is the tiny segments of spectrum allocated to unlicensed use, not inherent problems with open spectrum. The excuse offered in the past for spectrum oligopolies was "oh it's physics" because the very simplest radio technology we could imagine in the 1930s does suffer from interference at lower frequencies. Of course we've had more advanced radio tech for a long time, but ignore that... at the frequencies under discussion for 5G, interference over any but the shortest range is no longer a threat. That means that most of the claimed justification for telecom monopolies (and perhaps the agency created to enforce those monopolies) goes away. It's sad that TFA is still focused on "carriers".

masks, when worn by the general (or asymptomatic) population have not been proven to reduce the spread of SARS-COV-2 - no seriously there is no evidence to support mask usage - the belief that mask do anything is nothing more than a superstition - the virus take the form of an an aerosol that is not stopped by a little cotton thing in front of your nose

do you honestly believe that a little rag in front of your mouth will reduce the spread in big crowd everyone screaming at the same time?

the protest might just prove false all the scaremongering, this is what I see very as a likely outcome

and that the disease does not propagate outdoors, that the disease does not propage by touch etc.
Pretty much. I'm all about data classes so the code reads just fine. Definitely less boilerplate than something like JsonObject. But using Gson means non-nullable fields can still be null if the incoming JSON doesn't have them. So you get these "impossible" NPEs. Also, this is more a complaint about the JVM type system but Gson can encode things that it can't decode into which really messes with my mental model.

to add to this, it's implied (or maybe stated explicitly, I forget) that one of the reasons galactica survived the initial attack is because it's an older warship without the sophisticated computer systems of the newer ships. the newer ships were trivially compromised by the cylons.
It feels pompous to me.
Sure, but that was a choice by our government to not bail out the people—again, the death cult.

Thank you for posting this, Bambo! I was curious why we were seeing 10s of new stars all of a sudden and trying to figure out where the GitHubbers were coming from.

Grid Engine 9 is now the largest pure-Lua game engine on GitHub. As s_y_n_t_a_x has mentioned in this thread, I built the Grid Engine on top of LÖVE.

I came from the hlcoders world, having used the Source Engine for several years, and was upset the 2D world didn't have sophisticated game engine technology like the 3D solutions in the field.

There's tons of great game software out there! But to me, a game engine isn't just a load, update, draw framework. There's a lot of hard work involved past binding libraries together.

A game engine needs an architecture, it needs to do multiplayer serialization for you, and give you a meaningful way to load maps out-of-the-box, and so much more.

Too many hobbyists are rolling this themselves, and I hope to continue to bring rich game development features OOTB to other hobbyists like myself.

If you're interested in Grid, but don't find something quite right with it, could you tell me? I've worked on this project for at least the past 6 years from what my logs tell me, but it only continues to get better thanks to people like you all reading posts like this and giving me feedback over the years.

Thanks again,
Andrew
A Moveable Feast is another good one from Hemingway with themes that strike me as oddly similar the millennial generation.

Just hoping I can’t say the same thing about Steinbeck’s books in the next few years.

the information war is being fought with bricks and 'boogaloos', nothing about 9 days of riots and protests goes against 4chans goals and desire to throw the US into chaos.

When Germans elect a Chancellor who doesn't make sure that Germany meet their NATO commitments are they being disrespectful to their allies? I understand that the comment may come off a bit incendiary, but I'm genuinely asking.

Most comments here are blowing things way out of proportion. Links are in no way getting modified by the browser.
The issue is that when someone types binance.us(or a few other brave affiliate sites) in the address bar, the top recommended link comes to be one with the referral link appended. When enter is hit that link is automatically selected(normal chromium behaviour) and page opens with the url with referral code.
This sure is problematic. As Brendan has said[1] it sure was not the right way to do it.
Again, the links in pages are in no way modified as people are trying to portray.

How is the ‘free assembly’ you are talking about more important, and even if it is to many, am I required to have come to the same conclusion, or to follow the conclusion someone else has made for me?

I have a feeling a lot of freedom of assembly protections were really more about the ability to get together and discuss stuff than it was about marches and protests.

In that case, our freedom to assemble has been massively curtailed for months.

Who gets to decide what assembly is worth violating the lockdown for?
A major benefit to microservices (over monoliths) that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is testability. I find it hard, or improbable to achieve a healthy Pyramid of Tests on a large monolith.

For example: a high level, black box test of a service endpoint requires mocking external dependencies like other services, queues, and data stores. With a large monolith, a single process might touch a staggering number of the aforementioned dependencies, whereas something constrained to be smaller in scope (a microservice) will have a manageable number.

I enjoy writing integration and API tests of a microservice. The ones that we manage have amazing coverage, and any refactor on the inside can be made with confidence.

Our monoliths tend to only support unit tests. Automated end-to-end tests exist, but due to the number of dependencies these things rely on, they’re executed in a “live” environment, which makes them hardly deterministic.

Microservices allow for a healthy Pyramid of Tests.

What was the source for the league table at the end? I'm struggling to believe Oracle is still first place.
"The FBI wanted to work out an arrangement in which the developer would secretly feed its operatives information about Telegram’s inner workings—things like new features and other components of the service’s architecture that they might want to know about. The arrangement would be strictly confidential, and they were willing to pay."

You see what you want to see.

The letter specifically cites the importance of social distancing as well as other measures.

It's clear that your position is not in support of the protests, so you should just come out and say it directly, rather than continue your whataboutism that is, quite frankly, untrue.

Since nuance is not your thing, I guess we'll just leave it at this. Have a nice day.
So in other words, once the data is normalized against census population figures, for every 10 million Black people in the US, ~53 of them were victimized, whereas for every 10 million White people in the US, ~26 were victimized.

I just wish we had industry standards. If this and such is your prob., this and that architecture is the simplest that works.

Structure engineers have such books. They need to build something speced to hold X tonnes here are the possibilities outlined in simple drawings.

I need to bump my head on any problem I'm facing and I live in constant doubt that I took the wrong technical decisions.
They don’t even need to do that. The government can much more easily coerce the existing employees to do things by threatening them or their family members. This is the risk that Chinese employees in the US with family back in China pose to US companies.
Would probably pursue religion/spirituality at this point, but you are older than I am so I'm not sure if my advice holds much credence
No, the bad thing is that they’re tech giants in the first place. If they weren’t so big, they wouldn’t have so much power, and thus there wouldn’t be a problem at all.
IMO the saturation of ads in traditional media / means dwarfs the scale of the current majors of social media. Not that I wish this to be a minimalization of their role of despair in modern society.

But the current standards of beauty, happiness, and success are a product of decades of tailoring by the traditional ad media and the businesses that use them to sell their kewpie dolls.

Needing things is central to producing consumer demand, and therefore drives GDP and the economy.
If you want to see living proof that live connection with an audience is alive and well in youth culture as it's ever been, check out any King Princess live performance video.

"Critical, lifesaving" functionality is for the most part hardwired. Some devices use radio over extremely short range (think arm's length), but any radio communications over longer distances are for reporting or something else non-critical.
You make a good point. Another good point is that alcohol always comes out worst in these types of studies because it is relatively easy to detect. Blood and breath alcohol tests are prevalent, the police uses them all the time, including on people that have been killed by car accidents.

Tests for other drugs are much more difficult, because as opposed to alcohol most other drugs get metabolized very quickly. While there are tests used to determine whether someone has used a certain drug within the last week or month, etc., there are no reliable tests to determine whether someone is under the influence right now.

Thus, a lot of harm caused by other drugs gets ascribed to alcohol.
I've been using an ElGato StreamDeck repurposed as a global mute button (among other things) for Zoom, Webex, etc. The Powermate could be pretty nifty for this as well, using the radial menus to quickly get at globals like mute/unmute, start/stop video, etc

Fuck yes, they are.
If you’re putting the document into design mode (the best way of doing it), why are you also setting contenteditable on the body?

> diagrams and write equations

This is why, for digital use (since I cannot write without pain these days), Microsoft Word is imo the best digital notes software. Full text search, tag integration (#tag), images, hyperlinks, tables, diagrams, equations, and macros (Macros are incredibly awesome.)

There is OneNote but I dislike the org structure and the walled garden approach.
Also, although somewhat tedious, there is a "what font is this?" game called Typewar.

IA-64 (Itanium) had a register stack that was used for a lot of the things memory stacks are used for[1]. It's basically a set of virtual registers into a large register file that's then spilled out to main memory as necessary if the stack grows large enough.

So I don't think it's an idea that's completely gone away, it's probably just that until relatively recently the complexity involved in doing it with modern code (with deep stacks with large stack frames) was not really a worthwhile use of die space. And now x86 and arm are so thoroughly dominant that other paradigms have difficulty getting traction.

The problem was never the death rate alone. It was the death rate plus the high infection rate that was problematic. Even a low rate of .3-1 (which was always the estimated rate iirc) is going to kill a lot of people given how infectious COVID-19 has shown to be.
I don't think this claim will stand once the covid vaccines land in our pharmacies. The world will be back to normal though work environment might be changed for a lot of jobs
I built a GergoPlex a couple months ago and really enjoy it. I don't use it 100%, but switch to it for a few hours a day to get practice. I really like the chording features; "sd" for backspace, "cv" for tab, and others that I've customized using QMK to my particular tastes.

Originally the switches were Choc browns, but for this board they're a bit too heavy, and I went with gChoc switches that are super light and work better for chords and layers.

One issue I have is how low profile it is. I don't have a case or anything to raise it up and my wrists are either floating on the desk and it takes getting used to. There are some custom cases (like the gHeavy) but they're either expensive or back-ordered due to COVID.
its a similar effect on fivethirtyeight, they were closely monitoring covid with most articles, then switched to 'protests good, what is covid-19?' as the 'justified' protests have taken place
How do you feel about those numbers compared to the intra-racial ones listed in the same table?
It's also not free, not even to try out.
Why did you put the word justified in quotes?
Is the problem data collecting and detection in time series, or more being able to reproduce so you can work towards a fix?
Yeah but that’s only one way to calculate it. Other ways might be to calculate based on number of encounters, or number of criminal acts, or to control for location, or control for income. Etc.

I think it’s important to be really careful saying a given statistic, any statistic, says what we think it says.

People living in a certain form of hell aren't afraid of dying of corona... I personally would rather die of pneumonia than 20 or so bullets to the back from an agent of the state operating with a hair trigger and impunity.

Do people really think MLK felt safe when he was protesting? He was brave, new assassination was likely, and still marched.
Good question. I believe there are a couple of benefits over a simple screen share that makes it worth while:

While it can function as a realtime stream, it also allows for asynchronous collaboration. For example: you can `cat` a log/config/source/etc file to TeamTail and share the link to get feedback / help. Inline comments combined with Google/Facebook/GitHub auth allows for low-friction collaboration.

And the fact that the conversations live in a document of sorts means that you can refer back to it in the future, or you can share it with people who weren't there during the screenshare "meeting".
I mean, yes. That's how it works. It sounds like you're implying that this is a bad thing, a waste of tax dollars and government spending. I can assure you, there are plenty of other things that the US Gov has wasted money on, probably quite a few more egregious than this.

So even if you believe this was wasted spending, at least that money will hopefully go back directly to the US economy. The military generally prefers to "buy American" when possible, so hopefully at least this tax payer money is flowing back to the country at some level.
It seems you see this in terms of idea and theory. I am looking at things from a greater view, seeing the actual effect and impact of things. This is the same thing when health experts told everyone masks don't work. They were wrong. And you will be wrong as well.

Since if you believe I am against the protest, then it's in my benefit that the protests continue, so all my supposed enemies die off. Believe what you want :)
> Functions allow shared state, they don't isolate errors.

So why not use Haskell (or other pure language)? It's pure, so functions don't share state. And you don't have to replace function call with network call.

Obviously a “values” question, but if “tackling collectivized problems collectively” ain’t on the government’s list, I’m not sure why I’m paying taxes, and our government’s bi-partisan efforts to collectively address this pandemic are currently the most pathetic in the world. The only place you see half-way decent propositions is before they hit the chopping block on Pelosi’s desk—this ain’t partisan.

Frankly the US government is rapidly losing any legitimacy to rule, though of course this is my humble opinion.

Have these white supremacists done something on the scale of vandalism that's gone on during these protests?

I saw $55 million in damages have been done to Minneapolis alone a couple days ago. Idk about "white supremacist" (I don't think I've met any), but the more "rebel south" people I've known may talk about civil war, but I've never seen any severe damage, violence or death come from them. These protests are filled with those things.
This is such an ignorant take, it's astonishing.

The "general narrative" is about rampant police brutality that first and foremost disproportionately affects people of color. It's a problem that's existed since the inception of a police force in the US and that's what this movement is about. No one is trying to play a silly number game of which race kills more of what other race.
But that's obviously false.

If the environment is rich in sources of energy, such that expending energy in never really an issue, it makes no difference whether the total return from "processing observables" is more, less or equal to the energy spent doing it.

no, this is not about empathy but personal autonomy and sovereignity and autocracy. Why not allow someone to do something if they are willing to take the risk, why treat them as criminals?

If you believe that you get infected at a store, don't go to the store ... case closed. On what basis is the state "protecting" someone that does not want to be protected? On what basis is someone considered a criminal when a crime could only potentially be committed?

what if the person is immune to the disease, already had the disease, or does not mind getting infected?

> 20. Bike-Shed Effect: A group of people working on a project will fight over the most trivial ideas. They’ll ignore what’s complicated. They’ll focus too much on easy-to-understand ideas at the expense of important, but hard to talk about ideas. For example, instead of approving plans for a complicated spaceship, the team would argue over the color of the astronaut's uniforms.

That's not quite what I understood by the bike-shed effect. In the version I heard, although the approval committee would indeed descend into endless arguments over the colour of the astronauts' uniforms, the complicated spaceship would get passed through on the nod: no one on the committee understands the technical details of the latter, so they defer to the experts, while they all grasp, and can make a contribution to, a decision on the former (or at least think they can).
Microservice testing come with version combination hell.
