Is creating your own pseudo-selectors really possible? I like to think I'm pretty up to date on modern CSS but I've never heard of this.
It's looking grim for plenty of reasons, but nurses and doctors working 50+ hours is not new. Some docs do that their entire career.

Also, if you've ever been treated by a resident, they were almost certainly over worked, they move to cap their hours at 80 per week received pushback from docs saying that residents needed 80-100hrs/wk for training.
We don't use any traditional third-party user tracking software so we do indeed use Slack webhooks to allow the leadership team to be notified about certain events (onboardings, uninstalls, etc.). No meeting data (name, attendees, or otherwise) are included in these requests.

If you've got any suggestions on how to debug client-side issues with more transparency in mind, I'd love to hear them!
The more logical explanation is that these numbers reflect a dramatic deficit in testing, rather than 1/3 of kids actually having it. We also have no idea what the long term effects are for asymptomatic patients, not a good sense of how effectively the disease transmits asymptomatically. Nor a sense of how long immunity lasts. An abundance of caution is warranted.
ummm. i just called the health department in Flathead County MT and there's no free asymptomatic testing available.

That doesn't sound like an accurate description of LibreSSL, what with it being a part of OpenBSD.
Unfortunately, my colleagues, who mostly use Outlook, employ HTML to its full extent when pasting in content to messages. ("Refer to the text highlighted in red.", "See the table for details", etc.)

Back in my BBS days, there was ANSI color with IBM-extended (CP437) block graphics to liven things up, so I can see it has gone full circle a bit.
Where did you opt-in? I wasn't asked before it showed up, and then I disabled it through the "Settings > Profile > Profile Settings" page.

That's the same as Eclipse (e.g. rename method), right? What's the benefit of IntelliJ here?

A tinfoil hat theory I heard is that's the reason they want to push QUIC -- to give them more signals for blocking people with ad blockers.

Not that I believe it, but fighting ad blockers in general is a losing battle in my opinion, eventually you will just end up blocking too many eyeballs, and your ad revenue will drop.
I wonder how many “first time buyers” are just friends/relatives buying to get around retailers limiting sales per transaction.

This is some first-class flamebait in really poor taste.

Anyway—from what I understand, Xorg is is nearing the end of its life as an actively developed project. You can see that the release cadence is much slower than it was a couple years ago, it’s gone from something like a six-month cadence to a two-year cadence.

The lion’s share of the development is sponsored by orgs like Red Had and they’ve publicly warned people that this may not continue into the future.

See: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=X.Org-Ma...

The comments about font rendering technology are relevant. You simply can’t use X font rendering to achieve what is, in 2020, considered to be the bare minimum for text presentation. Up until recently, this was papered over by libraries that could abstract over the differences between old-style X fonts and modern TTF fonts (TTF is almost as old as X!) For various reasons, the backwards compatibility was ditched a few months ago. The abstraction had just grown too unwieldy and had too many special cases.
They are people who were thinking about moving anyway, or people whose situation has changed. Most leases are one-year leases. If you've already been thinking about moving from the city, the fact that 1. much of the city is closed and its benefits have declined, 2. you're now working from home, so short commutes are less important, and 3. many cities haven't seen sufficiently steep rent declines, may make you leave.

Furthermore, no one knows when we're going to get a vaccine. It could be in December. It could be much later than that. Winter in a cold-weather climate in a small, expensive domicile may be very difficult right now.
That effect does not happen with COVID-19. Most cases are asymptomatic, paucisymptomatic, or comparable to a cold in severity. Doubly so for children. There is no evidence of serious “long-term” harm in anybody. With severe COVID-19 - the kind that almost kills people - you might have a few months of non-permanent lung abnormalities.

SARS-2 is not the scary virus it’s made out to be. It’s just not. It’s a poor killer and a great spreader. Exactly the type of virus we in the general population need to let pass through us.

> I've been skiing all of my life and I've never bought a 'skiing magazine' and never visited a skiing website as far as I can mention.

If you never visit skiing websites (and thus presumably also never search for skiing websites), and the likes of Google showed you an ad for ski gear, that would be the epitome of creepy.

> It's not 'creepy' to get ads for Snowboarding when you're on Twitter, than it is for anything else.

If you follow/view a bunch of skiing related accounts, its not unrealistic. If you don't follow/view any ski related accounts, then again, that is very creepy.

But twitter is essentially the model we're talking about: show the visitor ads based on what they choose to view (mostly, afaik), not based on what they searched for last week on a different site.

> the more efficient those communications channels, the better the products and services we would receive.

Well while we're using anecdotal evidence, I've never seen an ad and thought "yeah that's actually just what I want, <click>". If I want something, I got search for it specifically.
If you hover over the badge on your profile, it shows you which repos you contributed to that made it into the vault.
I really don’t understand why the govt isn’t doing regular testing of a random sample of the population.

All it takes is ~500 tests in each state per week to get a significant sample size. And,
it would definitively answer what the population infection rate is, and how it’s trending.
Unless of course you are the one who should be providing links, then they don't matter right?
Public politics and policy are different.

All negotiations with Xi the PERSON will get nowhere if you go around insulting and humiliate him publicly. Instead, you have intense private discussions and then smile for the camera and say polite exaggerations or lies. This is politics as usual under ANY administration. The results of those private discussions are shown in public actions against the COUNTRY for failing to act as desired.

Trump says nice things about Xi while passing the most restrictive legislation against China that we've seen in decade. Make things against Xi personal and the chances of war skyrocket. His sensitivity and crackdowns about Winnie the Pooh jokes shows that Xi isn't exactly the most stable dictator where his public image is concerned.

The fact that bills concerning China make it through both Democrat-controlled House and Republican-controlled Senate (especially as they can't seem to agree on almost anything else) speak volumes as to the importance of what's going on.
My wife is a nurse at a large hospital (in the northeast) and as of the other day they were down to 1 covid patient. She's seeing nurses actually get laid off because the hospitals initially planned for a large influx of covid patients that never came.

Hospitals initially cancelled most elective procedures (which is what pays the hospital's bills), which helps explain why hospitals are more likely to flag a death as "covid-related", so they can collect federal covid money to make up lost revenue.

Also, picking up extra shifts isn't the same thing as a "massive bonus"....and "travel nursing" (where they pay for housing) has always paid a lot of money, even before the pandemic.
Exactly. If I leave on personalization , I always fell like they will collect extra data, just for the sake of it.
Coincidentally Sleep Cycle iOS app crashed once (can't remember ever crashing before from over 5 years of using it almost every day/night) within the approximate 3 hour time frame with other major apps crashing caused by Facebook SDK.
Yeah, the badge highlight seems to just list the three biggest projects you've contributed to, and the rest are summarized as "and more!"

Me: Teach me about the politics of the future in America
.

Hannah Arendt: U.S. politics are going to change dramatically over the next 5 years. You're looking at a period of increasingly authoritarian policies.

Me: What happens after that?

Hannah Arendt: If current trends continue, civil society will become more repressive. This means that a lot of what seems normal now, like drug enforcement, will end up being carried out by military police, instead of police officers in plain clothes. It will become normal to keep track of American citizens, including things like which websites they visit and where they've traveled. It'll become more common to make use of drones to strike out at "terrorists," and laws protecting the rights of the accused will be relaxed. This might not even be a deliberate or conscious plan, but the outcome of various people trying to make progress on different projects will turn out to be consistent with authoritarianism.

Me: Is there an upshot?

Hannah Arendt: Actually, there's one positive thing I can mention. The American middle class will likely collapse in the next 5 years. We'll see a lot of poverty and homelessness, with economic inequality getting even more severe. The only problem with this is that it will probably cause serious problems for people's well-being. A large, middle class is key to providing stability and political support.

Me: That doesn't sound good. What's positive about that?

Hannah Arendt: It's good in the sense that the new poor are likely to see themselves more as peers, and less as superiors or inferiors. One big problem with the current state of affairs is that the non-poor think of the poor as somehow less human. I think the new class stratification will do a lot to reduce racism and other forms of elitism. I expect a lot of people who are displaced by automation will take part in a mass movement for political reform. And I think there will be a lot of technological advancement. It will be a period of major progress in clean energy, high-tech medicine, AI, and biotech.
The shadow DOM encapsulates styles and behaviors in the component. Nothing leaks in, nothing leaks out.

The concept can get confusing, especially once we start talking about how styles reflect on slotted content (i.e. elements in the "light DOM") vs. shadow DOM elements, but that's probably more relevant to component developers rather than consumers.
Reporting on Teens and Internet Culture
I don't blame the Mob, I blame hitmen. If they didn't kill people there wouldn't be a problem.
For what it's worth, I've found Pytorch to be much more rigid than TF. Maybe I just haven't found the easy way to do things. For example here's a function that applies an N×N box filter to all but the first 2 dimensions of a tensor (apologies to mobile users):

def boxfilter(image, N=3):
shape = image.shape
image = tf.reshape(image, [1, shape[0], shape[1], -1])
C = image.shape[-1]
conv = tf.nn.conv2d(image, tf.eye(C, C, [N, N]), 1, "SAME")[0]
return tf.reshape(conv, shape) / (N * N)

Is there a simple way to do this in Pytorch? Preferably without having to inherit from the base class for convolution. It seems to me that Pytorch is like Keras and Tensorflow is like Numpy.

A man and woman marries when the woman (is/is not) on birth control. The woman (goes off/goes on) for family planning reasons. She no longer finds the man as attractive due to the hormonal shifts the parent mentions, contributing to unhappiness and divorce.

Anyone have either a supporting study or a refutation?

Have fun! It's just great!!
Short, sweet, and to the point has always been Bloomberg's editorial policy. I'm surprised he had to underline it to the staffers this way.
Good points! Fortunately, we can prevent influenza and corona with the same measures of mask, social distance, remote work, etc.

I am concerned for the US economy long term. The pandemic will kill 100k more at least, current projected deaths in just a couple months is up to 150k, which doesn't count the winter ahead.

But considering how damaged our collective productivity is going to be from 3/20 to 3/21, we are in for unemployment above 10% for a very long time as shutdowns and closures continue.

Will all the musicians, music venues, sports venues, museums, bars, restaurants, parades, weddings, etc still be the same after mass vaccination? I think they will all be hollowed out industries, we will not achieve that level of culture for a few years...sigh.

Anyone else feel depressed to be American?
Like when they made up a story about China infiltrating servers of US companies with a nano chip that is not even technically feasible to produce and they simply ignore everyone when they were called out on their bs?
It's not a conspiracy, but anyone that has worked in or with a newsroom will tell you that panic and fear sell newspapers (or clicks). Reporters get judged on article engagement and being humans, they optimize for the metric that they get judged on.

Honest question: Do retargeting ads just appear to perform better because I already had purchase intent and I was already going to go back there to buy it later anyway?
Thanks, but it's not really the same thing (unless there's another feature somewhere).

Take a look at this comparison:
https://paperstack.com/img/ides/eclipse_vs_idea_problems.png

In IntelliJ I can invoke this gizmo for the file I'm in, but it reports the problems for that file. It doesn't tell me where else the problems are. If I do a build I typically get a handful of compilation errors until the build gives up.

In Eclipse, by default, I get the Problems view. It lists all the compilation issues it knows about in the entire project(s).

Because Eclipse does incremental compilation I get to know about issues in a totally different file immediately. I also see stuff like config file errors in the same panel. It's really neat.

IntelliJ may have this feature somewhere, but this doesn't seem to be it.
I’m confused by your reply. Did your eye skip over the word “not” in my comment?
That’s weird; I’ve been using it with Scala for the past year without any major issues.
I think maybe you're looking for chatroulette or something? Why would hackers have their pants down? Hands in the cookie jar maybe, as hackers are known for junk food consumption. Maybe it's hacker sport by trying to handicap the better hackers?

Seriously though, even if there was footage of the actual hack occurring, it's just going to be a room with computers and users in front of a screen. It would potentially look like any office in any city with computer users. At least the state sponsored hackers. I totally expect the setups of l33t hackers living at home with mom to be just like in the movies. 8 50"+ computer screens, 10 computers in racks, better setup than most NOCs, then all of Mountain Dew cans and junk food wrappers tossed about, the posters on the wall of swimsuit models. Maybe these guys would literally have their pants down.
What about the overwhelming body of evidence showing that specifically children rarely if ever infect adults with COVID-19?

I expected children to be virtually incapable of dying from it, but learning the truth about spread was quite surprising to me.
My shopping habits must be somewhat unique on a local amazon-esque site that 80% of the time when I view something I have already bought (i.e. to check some detail before it arrives, or sometimes if I want to order more - I buy a decent amount of hardware and fittings for DIY projects on there) it has a little carousel at the bottom saying "Others who looked at this item also looked at:" and it's a list of 8 things, 7 of which I know I've looked at recently, or even bought.
This is a fair point, but it is being used as standard on other operating systems. I remember people switching to Void Linux en masse after they made it their standard mostly as a result of Heartbleed.
As the LibreSSL devs have said, heartbleed was not the cause of the fork. They forked the project because they believed the OpenSSL project repeatedly made bad decisions.

From https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2014-libressl.html

> Heartbleed can't even be considered the worst OpenSSL vuln. Previous bugs have resulted in remote code execution. Anybody remember the Slapper worm? That worm exploited an OpenSSL bug (which was apparently titled the SSLv2 client master key buffer overflow) which revealed not only encrypted data or your private key, but also gave up a remote shell on the server, and then it propogated itself. Yeah, I'd say that's worse. But no headlines.

> I mention this just to reinforce that LibreSSL is not the result of "the worst bug ever". I may call you dirty names, but I'm not going to fork your project on the basis of a missing bounds check.

> why fork

> Instead, libressl is here because of a tragic comedy of other errors. Let's start with the obvious. Why were heartbeats, a feature only useful for the DTLS protocol over UDP, built into the TLS protocol that runs over TCP? And why was this entirely useless feature enabled by default? Then there's some nonsense with the buffer allocator and freelists and exploit mitigation countermeasures, and we keep on digging and we keep on not liking what we're seeing. Bob's talk has all the gory details.

You can see "Bob's talk" here: https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-libressl/ though I think there is a YouTube video somewhere.

Also I would like to point out that Google also forked OpenSSL. So it seems that the LibreSSL folks are not the only ones who thought a fork was necessary.
To those who are looking for few convincing features over YouTube app - It has background playback, download, pop out player all without having to sign-in to any account.
It is, indeed really hard to take micro-scale editorial corrections like this while they leave unresolved what is at BEST an eggregious lapse of editorial judgement.

Yes. A good column width or grid card inline-sizes is between 30ch and 45ch, generally you don’t want text to exceed 90ch.

These numbers come from print design for magazine or journal layouts. In general the `ch` unit is perfect for defining the inline-size of text containers.
IIUC, EY was paid to check that what was reported in the books balances to zero.

There's a reason for the word omission: I'm using the CMUdict Grapheme -> Phoneme database. There are 140,000 entries, but it doesn't capture everything. I've had to add words like "pokemon" and "fortnite".

I'm looking for a model that handles arbitrary grapheme/word -> phoneme/polyphone transformation. I'm also interested in perhaps replacing Arpabet with IPA (using the existing arpabet database to construct it). This might work well for non-English languages.

Do you happen to know an existing model that does this?

So much work to do... :)
