I agree that there’s a need for communication / collaboration tools that allow easy work across organizational boundaries. MS Teams permissions to allow for outside collaborators is painfully complex.

But Slack Connect, while better than Teams, still doesn’t get the job done well. So Slack’s so called “competitive edge” isn’t that competitive.

For outside collaboration / communication - I like AirSend (www.airsend.io). It’s a lot simpler than Teams or Slack - less integrations, but perfect for people who work across organizational boundaries on a regular basis.

> I agree with the other comment about assuaging white guilt; it doesn't help someone get hired, talk to the police, or find housing.

You make it sound like this is a bunch of white people unilaterally doing something so they feel better. As if there are no black programmers asking for this change.

The whole point of this effort is to make the workplace less hostile for people we work with. Black programmers are part of that.
I implemented the parsing part! This is the first I've heard of Liquid though. When SheetUI has gained sufficient traction that people need advanced Liquid support, I'll look to your product for that :) There is no price quoted on your page though; do you mind telling us here a ballpark figure?
> You either think black people are human and their lives matter.

You are making a false equivalence here. I can (and do) believe that black people are fully human and their lives matter.

I can also agree with certain points of the BLM movement, again, disagreeing with their reasoning, but supporting some the overarching ideas.

> The entire point of the political movement is to recognize that black people are people too

Based upon their website[0], they seem to have a much broader idea of "what matters" that goes far beyond "black people are people to" that will, undoubtedly, cause many people to shy away from the hashtag (but not the sentence).

Again, I think the George Floyd's killing, underscores a massive problem that needs to be justified, but you don't have to agree with BLM to want to see that problem solved.

My academic friends are going absolutely bananas over this. Particularly at the graduate level, and particularly in technical fields, this will leave some departments unable to function. Even domestic students will suffer. And that's all aside from the long term effect on national competitiveness. I've seen some mention mercantilism, but this isn't even effective as that. True mercantilism would mean doing even more to keep other countries from benefiting from those students' knowledge and labor. This is not mercantilism; it's a very different and almost suicidal kind of nativism.

I can't find an authoritative source for the original quote, so I found something that I believe to be close but didn't want to give it the authority of "quote" as it could be innacurate.
Did that person have any sort of avatar (cartoon etc.)? I've known a couple of people who have been reluctant to use photographs of themselves as avatars and I've later on found out that they've come out as trans. For those who are closeted (or perhaps haven't processed their dysphoria) it can be problematic (and I realise that in physical offices nobody can avoid being seen, but save the bathroom or perhaps lifts, one isn't usually confronted with the sight of oneself (and online profiles tend to be visible for the user))
I'll read yours if you read mine! I think Charter Schools and their Enemies may contain some stuff on CA schools but I haven't gotten that far yet. It starts out talking about NYC schools. It literally contains tables of data. I know that neither of us can come to a well-rounded conclusion without putting in a good faith effort to listen to arguments from both sides. It would be nice to be able to come back after doing so and continue the discussion.
I’m with you in the first paragraph. My larger issue is when the function is reduced to a single variable like time invested. There are some cases where time invested can even be counterproductive because of competing effects (think of newbies working out who assume more is always better and eventually become overstrained). My point is that it’s naive to think time = productivity in anything but trivially simple systems. To think that about complex systems can get you in trouble

Your second paragraph I’m less sure about. It comes across as realpolitik (that may have been your point) which can be used as a rationalization to continue immoral behavior. My bringing up the military is that we can create systems that incentivize certain behavior (lobbying for a military need) and confuse that with natural law when in reality it can be mitigated through a differently oriented system (in this case, one that more clearly separates money and politics)
Super cool!! Is he manually joining these Zoom calls or is there a script running to let him join automatically (seems to be the former)?

My understanding is that making a non–Jewish person work on the Sabbath is also forbidden. Granted, this was just a schoolmate of mine in Brooklyn saying this but I have no reason to doubt the claim.

It does seem like electricity gets a huge carveout though as long as the initial startup wasn't initiated on the Sabbath. One sees that with Sabbath elevators where all the buttons are on and you can walk on without pushing a button and walk off at the correct floor. It still consumes electricity, you're just not making a spark to initiate the work.
What's the point of obsessing about who "benefits" from such a grossly problematic and clearly suboptimal system? Does the average white person really benefit from mass incarceration of urban minorities? One thing we can be sure of - namely that when so many people are criminalized and incarcerated, we're all being required to pay higher taxes towards the system itself.

A few things that have helped me.

1. Have a one-on-one meeting with every member of your team, for 30 minutes each week. They know when that meeting is coming up, and you know, so things that they want to tell you in private can come up then.

2. A good leader anticipates what his team is going to need before the team knows they need it. Try to do that. If there's a big release coming up next month, do what you can to make that 100% successful. Make sure there are no vacations, company meetings or other things that would impede that. Give your team room to breathe and make sure they are not bogged down with distractions.

If you can make their lives easier, they will make your life easier by kicking ass for you.

3. Oh, one more thing. If you are in a meeting and you are having a group discussion on how to solve a problem, make sure you call in people who are quiet. After the conversation has quieted down a bit and you are dialing in on an answer, if Jim hasn't said much simply say "Jim what do you think?"

I'm highly skeptical of their area coverage claims. The amount of UV-C insolation required to effectively disinfect a surface is substantial. The UVD Robots require 10-15 minutes to disinfect a single hospital room [1]; SmartGuardUV claims 1000 linear feet per 8 hours [2]; and we've modified our safety & security robots to do disinfect elevator panels, doors, & other heavy interaction points, which requires several minutes of exposure to be effective [3].

You might be able to disinfect 10,000 sqft of space in 8 hours. But the MIT robot doing 4k sqft in sub-30 minutes is highly suspect.

GitHub hasn't always been owned by MS, I believe this was up on GitHub before the acquisition (along with a lot of other Google content after they closed up Google Code).

And yes, it's official. Google acquired ITA which was rather famous as a Common Lisp shop. This meant that they had acquired a substantial Common Lisp codebase. If you drop the document from the URL you end up at [0] which includes links to other language style guides.

Your comment is not entirely wrong. The reality is the $130B is left because people were too scarred to touch it after the government threatened to criminally prosecute companies after public outrage of large public companies obtaining loans. The public outrage was driven, in part, by the fact that lots of small businesses didn’t get loans before funds ran out the first round. That’s not a sign that there were adequate funds.

There are estimates that we actually need a second PPP of the same size ($600B) because lock downs are going to start again.

In some sense, it doesn't. But the point of these measures is to be anti-racist. To make the environment more welcoming to people of colour. Maybe the majority of people of colour don't care, but I am sure that some do.

In my own experiences, being actively welcoming provides a level of safety that silence will not, because the status quo is that it is not safe for me to be myself, even if I might plausibly be accepted among my specific peer group.

Overall, these are small changes (what github is doing notwithstanding), and the amount of time
onlookers have spent whinging about them far exceeds the time spent making the changes.

No, this won't address the most pressing systematic abuses by minorities, but it does make one of the most lucrative careers less actively hostile to them.

As I understand it, the strict definition of Jewish descent is purely. You have to go back around 100-200k years to reach the most recent common matrilineal ancestor, and I'm reasonably confident she was not Jewish.
As someone who works at a 24/7 retail company, I can say that if the orders stop flowing, somebody gets called to fix it (even if nobody's boxing it right then and there). B&H has it set up so that no outage will trigger a pager and I'm betting that if the site went down on Sabbath it would stay down.

Yeah, IME too, most people don't do this, and to be charitable, it's because they haven't realized it's a thing to do. I promote it, because at this time I really believe in this theory and method, and would very much like more people to use it.

> I also don't want politics injected into scientific topics, but the role of politicians is to rule for people's good, and talk with extreme caution and responsibility because of the trust people give them. When a high profile politician says "this is good", a lot of people will follow the advice blindly, so when a politician put people lives at risk by telling for example that Hydroxychloroquine works as a cure for the Coronavirus (to date at least one dead and one intoxicated after following that advice), it's politics actually harming lives with dangerous information, which makes everyone's duty to inject back common sense into the debate.

I haven't encountered many officials who have consistently spoken with "extreme caution and responsibility" on Hydroxychloroquine, or anything related to this pandemic really. As far as I can tell, it is unknown whether Hydroxychloroquine is or is not effective in treating covid patients (there are severe limits on our ability to know many things), but the vast majority of reporting I've been exposed to the matter has a very strong propaganda odour to it.

Personally, I now start from the default epistemic position that anything said in the media is untrue, but the degree and manner in which that is the case is unknown, and that is the part of the claim that should receive significant mental attention (which parts are objectively untrue, misrepresented (cherry picked, deliberately framed), and what noteworthy "facts" are suspiciously absent). Rare is the news story these days where nothing sets off my suspicion.
> I'm sure an at-risk youth, when pulled over by two white police officers, is grateful that a bunch of highly paid programmers aren't subjected to politically incorrect variable names.

Why would this affect anyone getting pulled over by the police? Neither the police, nor the motorist are going to be looking over source code.

Right, but unlike a designed-to-be-online program, depending on the university/each individual class, many of the classes are not going to be designed with timezone differences in mind, not designed to get through local internet filters, etc. The thinking behind the rules is that there is no need to live in the US to participate in a fully-online program, but this is not applicable to a regular program that is temporarily forced to run online due to the pandemic only.

Additionally, this ignores the financial losses (ex costs of breaking leases, selling property, expensive/hard to schedule air travel which may require more legs than usual now, shipping, large currency conversions) caused by a sudden move back. Additionally, there will be costs to get internet access and other necessary materials back home. Some institutions still have not announced their plans, and they can change at any time.

These are people who want to and have been living on campus. They are not just taking advantage of the visa to sit in front of a computer screen for four years--so there is no reason they should have to leave. This clearly has no relevance to the initial intent of the policy, and refusing to waive it in this case demonstrates the government's effort to hurt people of other nationalities in any way possible.
Sure, but so what.

Politicized? Give it a rest.

Yes, if a company spent 60% (down from 75%) of their loan on payroll, and does not exceed the 20k cap per employee, and retained the same number of employees they had at the beginning of the covered period, and can document all this, and they followed the initial SBA guidance when deciding how big of a loan to apply for, then they will get most or all of the loan forgiven.

There are lots of comments here about "what about the nail salon who has 14 employees and took 5-10M?!?!". Well, assuming that isn't just a case of bad data, there is no reasonable expectation that the loan will be forgiven in it's entirety. The majority will need to be returned to the lender plus interest.

We lost something when the catalog was overtaken by the search engine. With a catalog you could aimlessly browse and passively learn a slice of what was possible and available in some space.

Of course a catalog is edited or curated which makes it biased but maybe more human editorial direction isn't such a bad thing in our current world of algorithmic optimized, SEO, echo chamber, click-bait choices.

Browse-ability allows non-focesed search and informs choices that are made at a later time from passive data gathering.

If you think the average wage in 1950 can get you more stuff than 2020, educate me then.

The only thing that got more expensive relatively speaking is housing. Which kind of make sense because land area don't tend to change.

Look around at your house and answer if you could get the same stuff (or even, poor replacement of the same stuff) if you're at the same percentile of income in 1950s.

I used it for a short while and found the free versions framerate was worse than droidcam (paid) and occasionally it would give up the ghost all together and require a restart. droidcam also does this but less frequently.
It did handle switching between a device with low res camera and one with high which droidcam cannot do.
I wouldnt say either is significantly better than the other but i went back to droidcam
edit: droidcam also has a low framerate mode that prevents excessive battery use

Really what I'm proposing is just a protocol between hosting services and aggregators, that they can use to accept sources from any supporting hosting service, if they so choose.

The aggregator can build their site however they want. So then the moderation and community guidance is their responsibility. Maybe the site doesn't have comments, maybe the site has a 30 day source verification timeframe. Unsurprisingly I don't have the solution to the internet's cultural problems, except to say that moderation is probably the hardest problem for any internet community, and YouTube hasn't figured it out yet either.

In some countries, the hosting services would also be on the hook for policing of content on their hosting. Not everywhere has safe harbour type laws, and some authorities have the ability to take down servers they deem break the law.

Of course, an aggregator could accept all public sources, and inevitably succumb to the unmoderated internet.

I'd say it's a bit better. I've been using DroidCam as a third camera in my remote guitar lesson OBS setup, and it's been OK, and I think this would be much the same (using an old phone - MotoG5 - as webcams are like gold dust at the moment).

An upside of this is that it doesn't need another piece of software running on the Windows machine - the driver effectively does it, unlike DroidCam which needs the program running on the PC to work.

Also, you can change the resolution directly in OBS, and I've just set it up at 1920*1080 which seems to work fine, and gives a better quality image.

Lag seems similar on both, but I've not tested it other than visually - no measurement made...
