It bothers me greatly to not know things for sure. I can't even tell this story without having to put a giant caveat on it.

This really wouldn't bother you??? You really wouldn't mind not knowing?

One giant reason that knowing for sure would be helpful is knowing that you're less likely to get reinfected, and likely less likely to have serious effects if you do end up reinfected, if you previously had it (even if blood antibodies have faded, your T memory cells may still help you out). This might change your behavior going forward.

There are already several different alternatives to iOS that a customer can get if they want a different app store. What he is really saying is that as a vendor he wants to force me as a customer to deal with a looser security model so that he can more easily sell to me. If I wanted that I would have chosen a different phone. But on the flip side, it’s helpful that now I know I never want a product of theirs... choice. =)
Deep Work and the 30-Hour Method for Learning a New Skill (2018)
Can your programming language do this (2006)
Which is why I just use the standard library.
Yes, but...

If you look at a place like Silicon Valley, high housing costs, dysfunctional taxes, and poor public services make it uncompetitive to raise children.

You can start them out in some village outside Bangalore, give them more advanced schooling in the city, then send them to the core for college or graduate school, then you have a capital-efficient worker.

I walked around in New York City with an Indian coworker who was waiting for an H-1B and told him about how my ancestors fled economic collapse in Quebec and impending war in Poland, how my mother-in-law was a hillbilly who married an Italian fleeing the economic collapse that came after the war... and how we were in a city in which linguists go to discover endangered languages, a country that was so able to benefit from immigration -- but I could tell he felt hurt that the U.S. didn't want him and I had no idea how to comfort him.

Talk to an African American man and you might find they don't like immigrants coming from Mexico (who would work in the chicken factories in the South if they didn't hire hundreds of illegals?) Many of them worked in jobs in the 1950s that are now mainly staffed by women. Many of them were just getting settled in to factory and call center jobs when those went overseas.

A person like that might identify their own struggles and oppressions with those of others and become more humanized (e.g. imagine Jewish people who traveled to the American South to put their bodies in front of black bodies) or they might feel that have a special burden and see themselves in competition with other ethnic groups (e.g. Korean grocers in the ghetto.)

So for one thing there is resentment of immigration in the U.S. which is based on class interests. If Trump makes explicit racism uncool for a generation but pedal-to-the-metal globalism reigns, you may see black people get together with "white people who have black problems" and form one of the two political poles maybe 20-30 years from now.

Another problem with the "import workers" concept is that it produces a person who is out of touch with their environment. A person who travels the world all over their career and spends their time in air conditioned building cannot understand the reality of global warming.

Farmers in any part of the world are intimately involved with the weather and they are adapting to global warming now, not thinking about what they will do in 20-30 years.

If I went to some place like India and tried to sell something I know I would have to learn about the culture, not in an abstract or comfortable sense, but probably in the school of hard knocks.

When companies try to develop products for the U.S. in an environment such as NYC or SV and the leadership and workforce are heavy in young immigrants they might make mistakes that they might not have been made if they were more representative of the target market and also had an age-mixed workforce bringing experience and a broader viewpoint.

Diving into Automated API Tests
I agree, but how is applying pre-learned algorithms significantly better than using pre-build libraries? Both is about using an existing solution, instead of coming up with it on your own. The real approach would be to ask candidates to solve a problem that doesn't easily fit into any popular category, so that they have to come up with an original approach - but that is first hard to come up with, and 2nd it would require investing extra time on both sides, which usually neither candidates nor interviewer can afford.
Depending on how you conduct them, they are actually stress tests:

It's quite incredible. This chemical appears to have a safety profile comparable with the coronavirus itself, and yet the stock market appears to anticipate a possibility that people will get injected with it en masse.
In the post they described searchability as one of the strenghts, as the top hits were dictionary link. They also said they're currently #4 for Riot, proving the viability of "dictionary names." As far as memorability, the whole Element in Matrix network is a little corny/convoluted to me, but oh well.
Here is a series of three open access reviews covering the current literature (1000s of papers):

That doesn't follow. My first guess was today those articles were just part of the identity's cover, and were written by a group that was running "Taylor".
I'm gonna look at rust; we're a huge c/c++ shop so there's room from improvement here. Now no program is a spec and implementation in one. Thus rust ought to be careful about keeping all it's hammers in language alone. If rust is smart and particularly wants to move to distributed computing or csps correctness will have to take on more complex meanings that bad index or divide by zero.

Yes the repository was forked from CakePHP v2, before the framework was moved as a composer dependency, so v2 contributors are shown as Passbolt contributors.
For the code above memory complexity is still O(N) even in a language that optimizes for tail calls. This occurs because you have an additional expression that occurs AFTER your recursive call that means the system must hold everything on the call stack for it to work.

Additionally you have a spelling error on line 5.
Flutter or React Native – How to choose your approach
Agreed. This is an absolutely horrible name that I'm sure was chosen by poll or committee.

What was wrong with Riot anyway? It wasn't the best name but it was known. Most name changes are mistakes.
The last hotel I stayed in did not clean during your stay, and also left the room vacant for 24 hours after checkout before they allowed the cleaning staff into the room. I don’t know if the regulations required that, but I was pretty happy for the cleaning staff that their health was being looked after.

I don't understand this nationalistic view that "America" needs to have the best innovators from everyone corralled into it.

Does the wealthiest country on the planet need the most talented people on the planet to succeed? No, it does not. Developing countries need those people. As long as America is the brain drain for everyone else, it's easier to exercise economic imperialism.

Too much immigration is tied to corporate welfare. Immigration should be based on human rights rather than importing white collar labor.

Also (as far as I know) the term "IRC" wasn't created as a product name intended to represent the protocol/service to potential customers. It was just an abbreviated descriptor of what it was.

I've got friends who used the phonetic version of Russian keyboard where about 80-90% of the letters are going to be similar phonetically. All of them can touch-type by now.

The thing with touch-typing is that you don't think so you have to go through a period of discomfort.
I think you're oversimplifying. There's a world of difference between "all notification queues decrease productivity" and "some notification queues can decrease productivity in some cases".

Seems something of a divide in interpretation of comments here between people who get subjectivity and people who insist everything is necessarily a binary.
Working on most laptops is relatively easy but you still need couple relatively inexpensive tools.

If you ever venture into disassembling a laptop I would highly suggest some protection against static electricity. Most damage from static discharge on induced current is not immediately apparent but may manifest itself in crashes, slowdowns and other ways.
Remember that is just the risk of death.

My wife is young (40 yo) fit and healthy, and 115 days after contracting covid she is still ill with post covid symptoms - there is no way she could work still and cannot look after or even play with our kids.

On her post covid support group it mainly seems to be women over 40 and men from 20 to 50 - though only about 7000 people who self selected to join the group so that might not be representative.

Just saying that while risk of death are low, there are other risks - though as yet poorly understood and researched.

Unless we want international trade to be a one-way process that slowly drains the middle class dry, and triggers the next recession when demand drops to zero, then it is probably better to make sure that whenever a company makes money by selling to consumers, enough money is re-circulated back into that country to maintain the purchasing power of those consumers. (That seems to be a core part of China's strategy, protecting their inner market from outsiders, and they're doing pretty well economically compared to most of the world)

I'm sure some people got COVID-19 at protests, but all data shows that it did not drive any major uptick in the transmission rate. The assumption is that outdoor transmission is pretty rare and that masks help reduce the chance even further.

As for it not being "real", I'm not sure why 100+ different national governments - ranging from far left to far right - and medical professionals around the globe would all conspire to make something up. Hard to imagine. Impossibly hard to imagine.
> I know that reporting errors can be hard, and I'm grateful for anyone who does. I want to show appreciation for error reports by trying to do as much as possible with the information provided before asking for more details.

This might be coming from a noble place but sounds a little like shooting yourself in the foot. Bugs that can be reliably reproduced are the easiest to fix, and I've found the quickest way to get to a set of reliable reproduction steps is just to ask exactly what the user was doing when the problem happened. They don't always remember, but often do. Sometimes they even remember the time, which can be really useful for digging through logs, which otherwise are too voluminous to be relevant.

Maybe it's a cultural difference. But maybe we could "show our appreciation" for the bug report by just saying so ("Thank you so much for taking the time to report this issue. Users like you play a big role in helping us improve our software"), instead of soldiering on in the dark for 2 days.
Mandatory but with reasonable exceptions (disabled, young children, etc).

That's why special needs schools haven't been able to re-open, even though in theory a ten-year old should be trusted to keep on a mask, due to various developmental conditions (e.g. autism, down syndrome, etc) they sometimes cannot. So we should consider edge cases when discussing mask mandates.

And I acknowledge that some able-bodied adults will abuse any exception provided, but those exceptions remain important otherwise you're just persecuting a subset of the population who are unable to comply.
Vaccines aren't completely harmless, but this would be expected. You can do a self test with a flu vaccine. Your doctor probably will recommend no exhausting activities for a few days after taking the shot. If you, for science, ignore that advice, you might feel quite horrible.
1. As others have noted, that's not a deepfake.

2. This looks like any other sock puppet account but the benefit of using a generated person is that they won't accidentally cross paths with the real one and get outed.

This is not an innovation just marginally more effective approach to obfuscating your trail.
My point was about the video itself, which features prominently on the page.

Yes, there are disclaimers on that page. I just think that being up-front with the current state of the system (driver assistance) would be clearer than starting with autonomous driving and then adding a bunch of qualifiers to it. And it seems the German court agrees.

. o O ( ellie the element )
Are you referring to the subjects injected with the experimental vaccine? A phase I trial's purpose is to see if the drug is safe for humans and get an idea of what the best dose is, not if it's effective. As to deliberately exposing people to the coronavirus, that's an ethical mess. The parent blog's author has another post that covers this as well [0].

tl;dr (the blog in general is a great resource though):

* We're not at a point where we need to deliberately expose people, as there's enough people being exposed in their communities.

* The normal standard for those deliberate tests also only recommend it if there's known effective for treatments for the diseases, which (obviously) there is not for COVID-19. Hell, we're still figuring out what exactly it's doing in the body.

* As a sibling comment brings up, history is riddled with unethical medical experimentation. We don't want to repeat those mistakes.

Sorry, this is not an argument. There are things that can be illegal and/or immoral (loan sharking is both), even though there are "no better options". This is not how to build a sustainable society, and is one of the issues causing so many problem in today's society.

If you are already an Emacs user, try org-roam. It encourages to divide the note writing into short chunks that can be easily linked together (as in Roam), but you get all the goodies of the org-mode ecosystem, including:

- For programming, you can use org-babel to write short snippets that you can then run directly in your note (a la IPython notebook, but for pretty much any language). Super-useful if you are learning a new programming language. Alternatively, you can add an org link to specific files/functions inside a code base.

- To promote recall by generating flashcards directly from your notes, add anki-editor to sync with Anki, or org-drill. With Anki you can do reviews from your phone.

- To quickly incorporate a screenshots, use M-x org-download-screenshot (useful while taking notes off an online video or presentation)

- To refer to sources: file links (e.g., PDFs) and web links work out of the box; for academic papers, use org-ref and BibTeX files; if you are on macOS, you can also link to emails (useful to keep track of projects); I am still figuring out the synchronizations with PDF annotations.

- If you need math equations, use LaTeX snippets inside your org file and org-fragtog to automatically render them inside your notes (without having to export/compile the entire file as LaTeX).

- Use ag or pt to search through all your notes using fuzzy searching.

Notes are just text files all in the same directory, so you can use git/Dropbox/Google Drive to sync.
If you use Dropbox and have an Android phone you can use Orgzly to edit your notes. The most useful feature is that from any app you can "Share" with Orgzly, and add it to one of your notes (I use it to add notes related to podcasts).

I concur with other commenters about making your note taking as frictionless as possible (I have Emacs opened all the time, so org-roam was an easy choice for me)
She paints a pretty clear picture of a hostile workplace, particularly in the context of all of the other drama going on at the Times. It's surprising that so many people who don't work at the Times are so confident that Bari is awful, lying, and generally deserving of harassment. Moreover, I don't understand how a good faith participant could read her letter and derive from it "All must think as I do!"--do you really not perceive a difference between a desire not to be harassed and a demand for ideological conformity? The general cancel culture debate on this forum has featured a shocking number of "harassment is criticism" arguments, and this seems like yet another. As a professional, you're allowed to think that her views are repugnant, and you're allowed to professionally criticize her views; however, harassment crosses the line. However, perhaps Bari is lying about the alleged harassment--I don't understand how you and others are so confident this is the case (yes, I'm aware that she accused professors of racism in college nearly 20 years ago, I don't see one minor offense in almost 20 years--and one which is frankly milder than those churned out at the Times on a daily basis--as indicative of a deeply flawed character, and attempts to use this to smear her only leave me with less respect for the critic).

> Well, it's their right not to like her, as long as they obey the rules.

Yeah, that's the whole point. Bari alleges harassment that the Times wouldn't put up with if the target was a progressive and not a Jewish liberal. According to her, her colleagues weren't 'obeying the rules'.
Yeah... exactly. If I remember there were two drivers. One was entertainment (movies look good on 16:9 although I prefer to have the black bar for subtitles) and another was keyboard. Wider screen meant more space for keyboard with full sized keys which meant smaller laptops possible at the same diagonal.

Also worth mentioning that shallower screen at the same diagonal has less area.
