The Chernobyl facts you bring up are very interesting. I had no idea that the plant kept operating for so long. I knew that there were people who stayed behind, and that there are workers around the exclusion area, though I admit that I would have imagined significantly lower numbers.

I find the opposite is true, meetings where I have video enabled are more focused and enjoyable to me (as an introvert too!). I think people pay more attention on video calls in general, and it seems like conversations flow better with fewer of those "you go... No you go!" type moments.

Overall it does require people to take work from home seriously though! Back in the days when we worked in offices video calls did have less pets and random people or kids walk in!

If people are able to have a dedicated office this works better but obviously not everyone was prepared for a forced work from home experience. It does require a solid internet connection which has been strained lately.

Maybe the willingness of journalists to priotize "scoops" over the actual consequences of their reporting is exactly the problem. On some level, they seem to be incapable of thinking of non-journalists as actual, real people who deserve to be treated with decency rather than things they can use in their Very Important Work which is Vital to Democracy and then toss aside - and as you hint at, this is probably structural rather than just a failing of particular reporters.

What do you mean by "nobody cares"? As in they don't care which gender you identify as and treat you normally (or not)?
Didn't realize "Serverless" was not only a concept but actually a tool by AWS. I started watching these videos this weekend. Sam is a great teacher. Time for some refactoring:)
I wonder if there are some effects from the reduced pollution over the last few months of lockdown. We have had some unusual weather in the UK, like the sunniest spring on record.
There's a whole class of solutions beyond Selenium that automates not just web apps but all apps. It's going under the name of "Robotic Process Automation" and people really like it because they're not dependent on their software vendor to get basic integrations done.

As an NYT subscriber, I'm very concerned by this, but I think it's ironic that people skeptical of the media because they don't wait to get facts right are so willing to jump to the conclusion that Scott's account is the full story. I'm inclined to believe Scott, but just as a remotely plausible hypothetical: there's also been rumors of a hit piece floating around for a few days[1]. Maybe they uncovered something Scott doesn't want out there besides just his identity and this is his way of seeding distrust before it gets out.

I just remember this quote: "Sucking at something is the first step to being good at something".

You might not be able to do that new thing right now, but if you try, suck at it and keep trying, eventually you will be able to do it to some degree of proficiency. I haven't found much of anything in life that you can't get better at by trying again and again.

They are going to get the Apple ecosystem even more closed and make desktop consumer platform like iPhone. Steve Jobs' dream coming true. I have never seen Linux running great on a ARM consumer device (like android tablets, smartphones) except ChromeOS devices. The big issues being unavailable graphics and other drivers and lack of ACPI (devicetree has to be provided separately). Some attempts were able to get Linux on framebuffer with some X patches but system upgrades required special care and having just framebuffer is slow and useless. And that is what will be achievable at most. ARM means freedom for manufacturers, not for consumers/end users! I suspect Apple will also put there multiple proprietary accelerators and specialized chips to make things faster by offloading some work which won't be accessible from Linux, of course.
But most macOS users don't know about the proxy icon either. It was never "discoverable", in the way you suggest, to begin with. The Mac has had "ahhh" paradigm features for YEARS. You could even say that the "wow" of the genie effect and the "ooh" of Aqua were cousins to the "ahhh" paradigm.

I love the proxy icon, too, by the way. But it's always been a badly documented, surprising, quirky feature. I found it by accident, by slipping and dragging a folder onto the menubar. That's not even useful; I didn't understand what I'd done. Eventually, after reading blogs and manuals, I use the proxy icon (and the brilliant Finder<->save dialog tricks) all the time.

I don't think we gain much by framing the argument around "discoverability" any more. I think it's much more useful to talk in terms of the overall interface paradigm. The proxy icon kind fitted into the "desktop" paradigm - i.e. a scatter of media and tools strewn across a desk. But Apple are moving away from that, and into a new paradigm of "surfaces for interaction". The i-devices have been in that space for years. The "mac" devices are now going there. Both are gonna change again, bit by bit, in the future as humans develop new ways to interact with this weird networked functional data thing they've created, and Apple try to provide novel tooling for novel technology. They do seem to be going faster, and breaking more things, than they did in the 80s and early 90s when they lead the desktop paradigm. They're possibly experimenting with ideas on the wider user base, rather than doing closed door research. A big part of that is due to the wider user base being MUCH more comfortable with computing than before. People with very little "computing" training are contributing daily to the development of digital culture.
Have they been able to wake the pigs back up yet?
I’m well aware of the differences between particle physics and climatology.

My point, which you have just made the logical fallacy of straw manning, still stands. Scientists of all fields have commented on climate change, Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox, Neil Degrasse Tyson have all opined in climate change, yet also advocate for vanity projects such as the large hadron collider.

> all these things happen at a much lower level than conscious thought. We have approaches to achieving based on genetics, early upbringing, life experiences, etc. No amount of wanting things to be different will make it so.

You hit the nail on the head. The worst outcome of these types of research is implicit victim blaming. People growing up in marginalized communities never get the opportunities to be successful in life. There are a lot of reasons why someone is not accomplished and not having the "right" thought is pretty down on the list. Instead of very carefully describing the limitations of these techniques, they do complete opposites. They hype up and overgeneralize to have publicity and sell more books and seminars.
Masai all have atherosclerotic plaque build up and it is also present in their children. Childhood with plaque forces various adaptations to blood vessels. They get wider and more elastic to counter the reduced blood flow and rigidity.

Anyone who isn't a child won't be able to make these adaptations and anyone who isn't on a starvation mimicking diet but is trying to gain or maintain weight on diets filled with dietary cholesterol will almost certainly start building up plaque.

Yes, dietary cholesterol has a low effect on blood serum cholesterol after some amount. So yes, increasing the consumption of eggs from 5 to 10 a day won't linearly effect the blood serum cholesterol.

Problem with fasting mimicking diets is that they are not a cure and are not long-term.

Also, consuming only things that are easy to digest makes you digestion more fragile to varying stimuli in the future. Which is why people who are on these "rejuvinating" diets for a longer period of time tend to experience their disease symptoms much quicker when they go back to eating vegetables rich in antinutrients.

Here's a very nice study where all Masai participants had atherosclerosis. Some even died from heart disease being less than 20 years of age:
https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/95/1/26/167903

"These pastoral people are exceptionally active and fit and they consume diets of milk and meat. The intake of animal fat exceeds that of American men. Measurements of the aorta showed extensive atherosclerosis with lipid infiltration and fibrous changes but very few complicated lesions. The coronary arteries showed intimal thickening by atherosclerosis which equaled that of old U.S. men. The Masai vessels enlarge with age to more than compensate for this disease. It is speculated that the Masai are protected from their atherosclerosis by physical fitness which causes their coronary vessels to be capacious."

The data for the reduction in viral load came from and Italian experiment with symptomatic patients. A simple surgical mask caught 30% of viral particles when they coughed vs no mask.

There might be some level of virus that your body can handle without even developing antibodies / becoming symptomatic, but beyond that threshold, you actually get sick.

Anecdotally, we have this for asymptomatic spreaders and potential casualties.

That's the fundamental problem with the Apple monopoly. I would be perfectly happy if I could use an non-Apple laptop with an outdated Apple SoC. However, since only Apple gets access to their SoCs everyone is worse off.
It's not. You can reproduce information in an unbiased manner, but being factual involves fact-checking, which rarely yields a neutral result.

Currently we don't offer any status pages, but it's on the top of our roadmap.

If I understand correctly, you would like to have control over your status pages on site level?

We are planning the following features regarding status pages:

* Create status page for one or many sites
* Set status page to private (password) or public
* Control which stats you want to show
* Show planned downtime (Maintenace for example)
* Publish message on a status page

Not at all, the climate of Tasmania is excellent. The problem is probably the isolation (even in terms of Australia... Tasmania is relatively quite far south and separated from the mainland by a stretch of sea that takes a half day to cross on the ferry) and the terrain which is very mountainous... the fact that nearly half of the island is still wilderness has mostly to do with that, I think.

No it doesn't. This is a common misunderstanding of infinity. Infinite is absolutely not the same as all.
For example, you can come to a very different centre point for "both sides" by just choosing which representatives you have for both sides. The centre point of the NYT and the Guardian is very different from the centre point of the Washington Post and Breitbart.

In the “Platforms State of the Union” video, which gets a little bit more technical, 30 minutes in, they are explicitly mentioning the ARM version of Debian Linux and show it off. So yes, we are talking about virtualization of an ARM system here.

Even if the reporter was half decent (let's assume he/she was), it would most likely be the Editor that have twisted the story around, for whatever reason or excuse. It happens in all kinds of business. Go talk to an auditor (ANY) auditor and they will have plenty of horror stories where the reviewer rewrote a paragraph "to better reflect the message", in which rewrite the message was changed.
Why is it unfair? No-one is forcing anyone to accept development work for 50k per year, yet there are plenty of people happy to do it.

Yes a lot of behavior happens due to lower level thinking than consciousness, but that doesn't mean it can't be influenced.

Yes failure has a cost, but it's also a great way to learn. If you're not going to do anything because you fear failure, then will you truly be happier at the end of your long life thinking gee I sure am happy I didn't attempt anything.

Yes there are a lot of ulterior motive teachers out there, but there are also altruistic ones.

There's plenty of repeatable evidence that self improvement does work. I go running regularly, and I can run longer each time. You can try playing chess against a random person off the street and then against someone who has been going to a chess club for a decade. Working on improving yourself does work.

You are right that the topic is huge. However the way to climb a mountain is to take a step, not to say that it can't be done.
Webapps are kinda like mobile phone apps. Only one tab is open and therefore only one process is actually running latency sensitive code. It's very unusual when a web app is using significant resources in the background since no rendering is taking place. Of course there are exceptions to the rule. One or two powerful cores are often all that's necessary.

In Holland we have "The Correspondent" which is independently funded too (AFAIK). While I do feel they play it a bit too 'safe' and try to straddle the line between doing 'regular' journalism and more daring stuff, they do some good work, and it's nice to know they're not chasing ad revenue.
This is true. It's not a new problem. You can watch black-and-white movies, from the 1930s, where journalists cause huge problems by publishing "scoops."

The issue is that this would apply to bloggers; even more than journalists. Bloggers chase clicks. A quick shufti at the junk that populates Clickbait Row, in any site, will show what drivel people will publish, chasing clicks.
No one complained when folks voting on an unpopular forum were kicked out late last year. Everyone laughed and said "good riddance" then. Now the chickens have come home to roost.

The adage of the "fascists will next come for you" continues to remain true.

I'm... not sure what that means?

Doesn't it mean: there just aren't enough tests for this to be worthwhile?

[Edited to add: I re-read the article and - yes, it means there is not enough testing capacity. Limiting case detection to the number of tests you have available is absolutely not a benefit, unless you are a government trying to obscure the truth, perhaps]
If the piece can run without the guy's name then it should.

This article says nothing. It feels all sales to me. There are no concrete advantages mentioned that other systems don't also do (the way "promises" are described could just as easily be applied to all other config management tools for example), and the things that might actually be advantages (like reporting or ad-hoc commands in a UI) aren't described in detail.

This looks great. I've used most of the popular JS physics libraries (matter, p2, cannon, ammo, box2dJS, etc) and while they're all good they all have a few JS-related drawbacks (mainly around garbage collection killing performance occasionally.) Having something WASM based could address some of that.
As mentioned in another comment, this is not very unusual (summer days are often above 30 degrees C). The town Verkhoyansk is in an extreme subarctic climate, and along with other famous places like Oymyakon and Yakutsk they're known to have the largest amplitudes of temperature in the world, the only places with "a temperature range higher than 100 °C " between coldest and warmest throughout the year.
Never have worked with a single engineer that worked for status. Not once. Especially softies know their place and have mostly other interests. They evidently exist, but they have to be a rare kind. Perhaps a specialty in certain industries.

There is of course the usual bickering about who has the longest... best solution, but that is another thing and certainly not restricted to men. Much more prevalent is the stuff from the other side that reminds me of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N10-G8JaE5s

Far more common behavior. It isn't even close.

I don't think there are any rigid roles to be honest. Maybe just the ones you subject yourself to. There is the usual office psychology that is borderline pathological, but that is indeed a gender neutral phenomenon.

> work environment more egalitarian

what does that mean to you exactly?
Melting permafrost does not make arable land.

Soils under boreal forests are not good farm land.

Thin soils over the Canadian shield are not good places to plant crops. Or Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, wouldn't be mostly forests.

Mass forest fires don't make good ranch or farm land.

Climate is not the obstacle for agriculture moving further north in Canada -- the Canadian shield is.

And Canadians aren't making use of the farm land we have already. We used to be a net food exporter, now we are a net importer. Which hasn't been great during the COVID crisis.

Overall Canadians (but not the major opposition party, or most Albertans) are very concerned about climate change and not "in favour" (spell it right if you're Canadian, please). However they fear the economic reprocussions that result. Like most people.

I once attended a talk by Mark Burgess on Promise Theory. It turns out to be not so much a theory and more like an odd collection of sayings. For example, what is a promise in promise theory? Not really clear. What can you actually do with promise theory, and how might it inform the design of a system? Well, it's not really clear.

CFEngine being based on Promise Theory is circular, since Promise Theory means whatever it's convenient to mean, or possibly maybe "whatever CFEngine does"
> How do you "check the facts" if you don't trust professional journalists?

"Professional journalist" shouldn't invoke any more trust than "professional fund manager".

Surely they're not all bad apples, but they're not inherently incentivized to have integrity, so you must assume that they do not have integrity, for your own safety.

I don't quite agree, as change does sometime come. I also don't really get your condensation, is there any further context to that quote?

What I do agree with is that it is a complex issue and so agree that self improvement as a product does not deliver.

The problem here is that it's easy to find an expert to mirror the point of view of the journalist, and thus make any point of view seem objective.
I think you misunderstood the comment. Intel CPUs are already performing well and it is Apple that is using the same strategy to reach Intel level performance (or even go slightly above it). What you missed is the fact that other SoC vendors like Qualcomm don't follow this strategy and therefore end up with cheaper but also lower performance SoCs. Since Intel doesn't manufacture ARM chips, you are now forced to go with Apple if you want good performance from an ARM chip.
Well, given that the world wide web was developed at CERN and they have driven a lot of big-data topics in the past I would say that the collateral developments are non-negligible.
In the software field, CERN and particle physics in general, have driven quite some open source projects (both scientific and general ones).
It did not reduce local budgets by 60%, it merely reduced local government share of property taxes by (not quite) 60%, initially, as the Brown administration and Democrat legislature leadership clawed money back to state control.
