She is a healthy 40 yo who used to exercise far more than me and do yoga multiple times a week. She's fit healthy and active until she was infected with covid. The breathlessness (sometimes accompanied with massively increased heart rate) also registers as very low blood oxygen levels on her meter. This isn't sometimes, this is after any activity. This is also just one of the symptoms she's had - massive fatigue, numbness, migraines (never had them before) - it goes on.

For someone like her to be breathless - is certainly a sign that something serious can happen to those that catch covid. This, while not happening to everyone is getting more attention now: Coronavirus: Thousands say debilitating symptoms last 'for weeks' - BBC News
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53269391

The common theme on the Slack group she is on, is that these are younger and healthy people, and that their covid was not particularly severe.

She also struggles to concentrate for any length of time, even reading a kids book to the children can be too much for her. There is no way she could work right now, and can't even do much more than supervise the kids for short periods of time - I am very lucky to have a flexible employer.

This appears similar to post viral syndrome or ME - and is happening at far higher levels than seen with our more common viruses like the Cold or Flu - though was also seen in people who caught SARs - it was not questioned that a percentage of those who had SARs were ill n months later, I'm sure in time it won't be for covid too. Just in tne mean time it means people believe the only risk is of death and that it will only affect the old and infirm.
I've just tested on regular i3 (no Sway).

Works pretty well until you start moving or resizing the window but once I did it crashed the app a couple of times.

I also couldn't start the app fullscreen on a 4K display - it just displayed a small black rectangle. Other than that it felt fast and smooth.

It is an alpha though, so I thought it was promising nonetheless.

I think it's fair to say that there was almost universal condemnation from day one, from just about everyone except the Minneapolis city government. And so the protests started out as a demand for justice from Minneapolis. They later transformed into a wider protest against police violence generally.
Fortunately, no one in this thread said that. Unfortunately, you did say in your very first post that you believed in an absurd ethical principle.

Re: percentages. I just picked 5% for a talking point. It is definitely more than 1%, but it really depends on how you define 'homosexual'. Some surveys might count someone who has had a same-sex partner in the past but now does not, or people who are open to the idea but have not acted on it. Then there's trans people, who generally are attracted to the opposite gender but might get counted because they are 'not really straight' :(.

In Resilio I Share > "Copy to Strongbox". I mark it as Read Only to keep from confusing myself and use a separate "Mobile kdbx" for any passwords I create on Mobile and share that the other direction as needed. (I don't have to use two files, I just find it an easier process that makes it less likely for me to forget to sync one direction or the other and "lose" a password.)

(I miss Windows Phone here in that I could directly share my Resilio file and its sync status with a KDBX app as Resilio was a standard file host. iOS really should standardize something like that instead of forcing a unidirectional Share as the only pattern.)

(ETA: I tried Files which is supposed to do something closer, but it didn't seem to work for me.)
Romantic Poetry Scholar vs. Alien Scientists
I don't know your age, but I've been rather worried about the fact that almost all my < 30 years old friends seem to be some degree of 'doomer'. Whether it's climate, the economy (and the prospects of retirement), or even just expectations if what their next few decades will be like.

Obviously I don't just worry that they feel this way, but also that they probably have a good reason for feeling this way, but either way it's worrying.
> working 12 hour days just trying to make sure I hit the required weekly point total

This seems to be against the spirit of most systems. If a company has a "required weekly point total" it seems it would be a race to the bottom as developers start inflating point values. Also, if "required weekly point total" needs to go up over time, and it isnt through improved methods, then that will also lead to point inflation.

At that point, the points mean nothing because you can either use them to honestly estimate projects, or you can weaponize them to churn developers (in which case you cant use them to estimate any longer.)

I just want to chime in here to say there are those of us who still defend Apple's right to take a reasonable cut of the proceeds from apps running on a device, firmware, and libraries that Apple has spent probably a million person hours developing. The fact that Apps go to such ridiculous circuitous routes to avoid paying the fee just demonstrates further that if Apple allowed Apps that run due to a financial relationship outside of the Appstore it would immediately be exploited constantly and would massively damage Apple users' experience with all the scams and BS that come with the average desktop experience.
You haven't really at all explained any justifiable reason for Canonical to open source it. You still haven't argued at all the resource aspects which are I think the primary motivator here.

Canonical has done this experiment precisely in the past, and we see the results of nobody operating their own launchpad instance. Nobody contributing back. That experience probably trumps all of this goodwill and opinions from the community.

Canonical is more importantly getting users, publishers and numbers behind them. A discussion I remember reading was that every snap has 10x more installs than the corresponding flatpak. That and they have 1st party support from major publishers like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, Mozilla, Jetbrains, KDE etc....

Those aspects are more important for usability for the average user.
I believe the default is simply to open your default editor so just set $VISUAL (and $EDITOR, read the manual for your shell) in your environment. This has the added benefit (?) of using that editor for commands that open a visual editor such as crontab -e or even visudo (with some caveats of course).

If you want to use a different editor just for git you can set $GIT_EDITOR in your environment.

This is important. The media is trying to spin this as something new this administration is doing. It's sad that they're so biased against this administration to the point where they create a false narrative to try to blame Trump for everything.

You literally could not have a student visa and attend classes 100% online in ANY of Obama's 8 years in office. Period.

It's not a new policy, it's just going back to the way it was before the temporary covid-19 exemptions were put in place. It's not really a big news story when you get down to the fact and past the "TRUMP BAD!" headline.
Yeah, I know that but it the physics and 3d first and the other stuff is optional -- the price of entry is being able to navigate a 3d world with pretty janky physics inside a computer. It's certainly a flexible toolset (though there are some real gotchas in there e.g. how bags work (they're decks so don't forget to shuffle them, you know, like you have to do with real bags)) but I find the approach of somethign like boardgamelab[1] more promising, particularly in terms of accessibility.

> Secondly, their economic contraction might be somewhat less, yet the death toll compared to Norway much higher, which did not suffer much worse economically.

This is cherry-picking. You can always tell if somebody is making a bad argument when they pick Norway - a sparsely populated oil-rich welfare state - for a comparison.

> The question boils down was it worth for a modest economical benefit allow 5000 people to die or not. Some people think it is okay, most do not.

No, that's an oversimplification. You are assuming that the lockdowns could've prevented these deaths, yet we have other countries that had strict lockdowns and that had similar death rates.

You also have countries like Germany and Netherlands with modest lockdowns and lower death rates.

There are a lot of factors at play here and the numbers are all over the place, but there is no evidence that lockdowns actually do better in the long run. Part of the problem is that most countries did do some form of lockdown, so Sweden is one of few in the control group.

>> The first graph demonstrates the O(n²) complexity of the algorithm. We can see that as the community grows larger, even by a small amount, the amount of iterations it takes to solve the matching problem grows exponentially.

This statement is contradictory. Probably the author is using "exponentially" to mean quick growth. I suppose this is alright in common parlance, but I find it disturbing when people describe a function as exponential just because it is a superlinear polynomial.
> Now I know it's not going to be Ubuntu or anything else derived from Canonical.

Why avoid Ubuntu derivates like Mint or Pop!_OS, though?

They're doing the heavy lifting of fighting Canonical on this issue. Maybe using one of those distros instead of vanilla Ubuntu actually strengthens the pressure that Canonical feels on this topic.

This doesn't have to be true. It's perfectly possible to produce a reproducible-build snap, and many Free Software snaps are reproducible from source. It's established convention to do it this way.

The capability is necessary because snaps can also ship proprietary software (eg. Spotify, Skype, etc). So one wouldn't expect this to be a property of (binary) snaps, just as it isn't for binary debs. apt/deb comes with "source package building tooling" (dpkg-source, dpkg-buildpackage, policy around debian/rules, etc) and so do snaps (snapcraft).
I don't know since I am not a lawyer.

In the spirit of these things, point values are for individual teams to help benchmark their own rate, and not meant for comparison across teams using different point references.

If there is company-wide point tallying, it will lead to gaming and point inflation -- at which point the benefit of rate estimation will be lost.
The difference is a lot of universities are remote only, due to being more concerned about safety. So it's simply not possible for the students to take in-person courses. This was not the case during Obama's years.
Yes, I talked about USA, but the countries that did actual lockdown, especially early on got benefits of it.
It seems to incorporate some novel ideas despite its obvious shortcomings.

I also think that so far Linux distributions have done very poorly when it came to cross-distribution/forward/backward compatibility of packages. This is a non-issue for popular Opensource packages since they can be easily packaged by the distributors. But not so popular packages sometimes need to be installed in a hacky way when they are not available for the target distribution. Even worse when dealing with commercial software, it can happen that it degrades with each distribution update.

Also I think that probably the package format will improve over time and add additional features, that would allow auditing for instance. Also with proper de-duplication (perhaps even on filesystem level) it should be possible to also deal with waste of space.

I have a request for all the Flutter folks/fans - it would be great if you all can say something about how you can get over / stay sane with the staircase looking nesting of code blocks and how you manage to keep it all in your head to navigate the code base.

"Only if they drop Fuchsia."

I hate to say it, but this is beginning to look like a real possibility. It looks like Google has been implementing into Android a lot of the modular, "make the system easier to update" aspects of Fuchsia with each release of Android. I think Oracle's continuing fight to make Google pay financially for using Java is doing more to keep Fuchsia alive anything else. If Oracle relents then it's possible that Nest devices (the only Fuchsia-based products currently shipping afaik) could eventually switch to an IoT version of Android... but since Oracle is a litigation firm that also happens to sell databases I don't see them ever stopping the lawsuits.

There are packages for ROS in the aur. And there are wrappers for the commands needed to install packages from AUR. To install ros on my system I just need to execute

The answer from the Education Secretary in the LegCo, in full: https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202007/08/P2020070800306...

The obvious flaw in the answer given is that he goes from ‘such right [para 1, art. 13 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child] is not absolute’ given para 2’s provisions to a seemingly disproportionate restriction of all political activity (‘no one…should…hold any activities to express their political stance’).

Notably, para 2 of art. 13 requires that ‘the exercise of this right…shall only be [restricted where it is necessary]…(a) for respect of the rights and reputations of others; or (b) for the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health and morals.’ This does not to me seem to encompass a blanket ban, e.g., of advocacy of universal suffrage (the stated aim of the Basic Law), or an alteration of the tax rate, or public subsidy for the beautification of local streetscapes by artists, or a change in the timing of a traffic light.

I think this is true for memcpy from a constant to target- you can use "ld rr,nn" to load immediate constant then push to the destination: 21 cycles for two bytes- 10.5 cycles per byte. But not the fastest for generic copy from one memory area to another, unless I'm missing something..

ld d,(hl) 7 cycles
inc hl 6 cycles
ld e,(hl) 7 cycles
inc hl 6 cycles
push de 11

18.5 cycles per byte, vs. 16 cycles per byte using ldi

The problem is that it's extremely easy to violate the boundaries of state machines. For example there's some small edge case, that would normally require you to completely re-create the state machine, but people bypass that by just escaping the state machine. In ASIC/FPGA, it's actually relatively hard to escape the state machine because escaping the state machine causes explosions in timing required and causes race conditions.

Code doesn't have fixed timing requirements, most of the time.
I've watched an 8-year-old do "remote schooling". It is nonsense. We might have better luck with mature high school or university students, but the only young kids in my general vicinity receiving education are the ones whose parents can afford to hire private teachers.

It's not clear yet whether the schools here will be opened this fall. A lot of it depends on the outcome of discussions like these - and the "save lives at all costs" crowd is pushing strongly for "no". It really doesn't help to throw around terms like "survival of our species" - there is no plausible scenario where the survival of our species is threatened by Covid-19.

What I'm wondering about is what the attractiveness distribution looks like for gay men and lesbians (and also bi/pan people, although there's probably less data to pull from there). I would guess that for gay dudes it matches the bell curve shape - anecdotally my experience of online dating more closely matches what my straight female friends see in terms of getting matches being easy. And also my conceptualiztion of same-sex attraction is "I'm attracted to men in the same way straight men tend to be attracted to women" NOT "I'm attracted to men in the same way straight women tend to be attracted to men." But I'm super interested in seeing how that plays out, especially given other confounding variables of being gay. And I have no idea what the lesbian curve would look like - I suppose I would predict it looks like the pareto distribution, but I have no idea.

Also the prevalence of "boyfriend twins" matches with what the site says - they end up with a partner of almost identical attractiveness because the curves for both of them match, and there's no bias in who makes the first move.
