Gov said it's either incompetence or a provocation. I'd bet my money that was a PR stunt by people working for the radio. They were in conflict with the government for years. They wanted out. It's a good way to create buzz and establish a new crowd-founded radio - which they did https://patronite.pl/radionowyswiat
The latest innovative mainstream use of a Kalman filter that I'm aware of is from a Microsoft contribution to chromium, for better tracking the mouse:

Is supporting HK against violence violence political? Is supporting Uyghurs against china violence political? Yes, being anti-violence is political.

We can all agree that being anti-violence is a good cause but everyone seems it little bit differently. Someone sees the CCP violence in HK as "liberation" just as someone sees this Mozilla campaign as bullying facebook.

Web browser should be neutral and trustworhy don't bother the users with any agenda, however this campaign from mozilla is no surpirse, Mozilla has been like that for a long time.
For Greece, the reasons for conflict are the same that used to be in the battle of thermopylae? Is it the same ancient culture conflict still responsible for these wars?
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." I think your version would run into dead ends very soon. You need to keep track for all grid positions what are remaining possible blocks (this is 'superposition') and eliminate them as you place blocks ('collapsing'). You also need a good strategy in which order to place blocks, and also how to backtrack if you run out of options.

The Townscaper seems to be using non-rectangular grid, so it's maybe more like a 2D graph of distributed nodes, with perhaps Voronoi algorithm to assign 2D geometry to each node. You make it sound trivial, it's a lot of work to make it work (and probably quite a few discarded prototypes along the way).
They tweeted out in May a list of video call apps that they had curated, when everyone was stuck indoors. Usual suspects at the top (Facebook), with trusted apps (Signal) near the bottom. It made me rethink my browser choice.
But all of his customers were :)

Only being half humorous here.
Of course, but in the case of Wave wouldn't it be sufficient to render the content as static HTML and let the browser worry about the rest?
My point was that reducing the human population to 1 billion doesn’t necessarily improve the world, in fact the only known example of a world with 1 billion humans was pretty poor by our standards. Human progress could really improve the 1 billion world of 2304, or it could collapse and conditions end up even worse than the 1804 one. The solution to every problem is not a reduction in human population size.

With that framing we could easily conceive of a pleasant 2304 Earth with 100 billion human inhabitants instead of 1 billion.

Trying to use the conditions of the past as an axiom in predicting the future... Obviously this was a comment on an argument I wasn’t making, but all the same I don’t we can state this quite as strongly. The future and the past are not completely independent of each other, otherwise science and even memory would be impossible. Plenty that is true today was true in 1804 and will hold out to 2304.
Yes, this is a breakthrough in math explanations!
The WH is finally getting to its main goal, reducing immigration overall. They were shy about it and started with illegal immigration but really they want to stop all immigration. Wonder if the family green card processing is already stopped.
As a German of Jewish descent, I'd add two observations:

First, I'm much more worried about people like Steve Bannon, Bill Barr and Mitch McConnell — that is, people who have the necessary capacity combined with an utter absence of morals. Trump alone is too stupid to be truly dangerous, but he is enabled by these people.

And, second, the US Covid-19 handling is very effectively destroying the remaining trust that (at least for people in my bubbles) existed in US leadership. Before Covid, there already was stunning surprise at how badly the US could go wrong and how little the checks and balances seemed to work. But it was a "dear god these 4 years need to end quick" reaction. Now it's obvious that even in the face of danger threatening the US' own population, the political apparatus is not capable of pulling together and delivering a rational response (working around broken elements like Trump.) It's spotty at best with some governors and mayors. That's not enough and this is permanent erosion of EU trust in the US. If the US cannot protect its own people, it cannot be relied upon as e.g. a military partner. The "they'll get their act together if push comes to shove" we had before is gone now.
With this campaign they are actively pushing you away from facebook arent they?
There's no reason to assume lower birth rates would continue all the way to extinction. Even if they don't rise again naturally, they could be raised through explicit policy. In either case, we're a long way from having to worry about extinction due to low birth rates.
Card sized website for the non tech-savvy
We create webtiles which are card sized website for non tech savvy. Our research shows that early stage entrepreneurs have very limited content to fill the screen real estate of a large website. If they are using webtiles they can be instantly online with one-liner content in plain spoken words, few pictures, video and their contact information. Everything else is auto generated (they will have to choose a template), few examples are given below

The piece states pretty early on that it was being written for a forum I run on Reddit called Gig Works. It is aimed primarily at Americans looking for alternative work arrangements and at people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the US because they are twice exceptional or have other barriers to regular employment.

It promotes the idea that not only can beggars be choosers, they need to be if they are ever to resolve their problems. This was a theme of my first homeless blog that was written while I was in actual fact homeless. (I'm not currently.)

I've been on Hacker News for eleven years, so some people recognize my name and know some of my back story. A previous version of this article, which is no longer available to the public, did surprisingly well a few years ago. Since it is no longer available, I reposted the updated version because I figured it might be of some interest to some people here.

I have two sons who tend to be pretty literal and as children they would say things like "You are too heavy for me to pick up -- unless we are in water or if we were on the moon...etc." Most people aren't that literal and I gave plenty of contextual cues in the piece as to whom I am trying to speak to.

You are rebutting a phantom argument where, in your mind, I am speaking to people who literally cannot read my words due to a combination of lack of internet access and lack of literacy and lack of knowledge of the English language. Most people don't think that's a reasonable argument to make since it's a pretty obvious fact that my blog post isn't being written with the idea that those people will be reading the piece and taking any advice from me.

About a third of Americans have not paid their rent/mortgage this month. There is a global pandemic on and articles are predicting that upwards of 20 million Americans will be evicted between now and September.

It may not be anything you care about because there are people in worse straits, but it's a very big problem for the US currently.

I'm in no position to help illiterate people in third world countries who have no internet access. I am in a position to help Americans who find themselves in dire straits all of a sudden due to a global pandemic or due to personal factors unrelated to the pandemic.

Those are the kinds of people I hope to reach. There is zero intent to lecture illiterate people in third world countries who lack internet access. That is so far outside of my intentions, that it "goes without saying." So it wasn't said.
Lots of other countries in those timezones. Why go to NYC for online classes when you could be on some paradise island in the Caribbean?
Well depends what you call "backend", I tend to think of it as the business code that the interface operates with. Namely the API. I work in finance, so there the backend consists of gathering data and applying statistics on it. The frontend is a presentation of the data and a way to interact with it.

The webserver code that renders web pages definitely belongs to frontend dev.
Plain text formats do have advantages but Markdown is a pretty bad one.
You severely misunderstand the realities of international students. You're making sweeping generalization about a lot of people you know nothing about.
Despite this 1P-LSD is still being sold in the UK in a supposedly legal way. It's sold as micro dosing pills that are low enough dose to not produce any psychedelic effects if you just take one. There's nothing stopping you from taking 10, though.

(I have no idea if this supposed workaround would actually be seen as legal if taken to court, but the company has been active and selling in the UK for over a year now, they are a sister company of the well known lizardlabs)

Interesting, I'd never consent to such a test. Where are the results stored and why would I give DNA to a Dubai Health Authority?
I really dislike the deciding something is an antipattern and then trying to assert that everyone else should change and feel bad.

But then, I program a lot by my self, and still use Singletons when it's the simplest way to get something done.

As someone who is fairly well a generalist polyglot programmer there is a definite truth that I will never be as good as someone who specializes. Am I capable of doing layout and custom stuff with CSS, yes. Am I great at it, no.

In a development team, I'm going to do the things that bring the most value. That's going to mean doing things like GraphQL services and DevOps before I do the "front end", design based work.

But then I'm also a heretic when it comes to software engineering. I'm far more interested in getting a product out into the market and starting to learn than I am making something gold plated with the newest hottest tech and spending 18 months building a super resilient platform that does not have product market fit (and will never have product market fit).
> Conversely, sending every URL that a user visits to some external service, where it could be logged and data-mined by nefarious third parties (i.e Google)

As in, just like DNS.
Please don't twist words like that, it makes for a dumb debate.

Anyways, what one uploads to Strava is what one wants to share and have analyzed. If you don't give them permission to hold your health data, then it's no point in using the service. It's not really a dark pattern. It's not like it collects stuff about you in the background, one explicitly has to sync activities there. So you are wrong, they're not stealing a shit.
What I'm seeing besides xenophobia is the old protectionist argument (our country-men are being laid off by companies each day and you dare bring foreigners here!). Its a very old argument but still works for those willing to buy it.
It's always been a totally normal conversation, at least where I live (the UK), for the last few decades.

I had a colleague who complained that he couldn't reasonably be expected to live on his pitiful salary, which turned out to be £80k (about $120k, adjusted for inflation).

you can really hate Trump because of its views and manners but one thing is for certain: he was always honest about what he would do when in office and he is pursuing that relentlessly.

wohld be nice to have a more centric candidate who would have this persistance and 'idgaf, attitude.

but you probably need to be a psychopat to pull that off
In some spaces it is required to split out the backend from frontends. We support nearly 100 different native devices (web, mobile, tv, stb) there is no way you could have a team own a feature from end to end, without having huge teams with very shallow domain knowledge.
The people attacking federal law enforcement are not "peaceful protestors". For the last 50+ days they have thrown rocks, fireworks, used lasers to blind officers, used wrist rockets to fire metal balls into their faces, etc. When the police have retreated behind fences to guard buildings, these "protestors" try to bring down the fences and attack the police the entire time. They attack people they find recording their actions, beating them into submission and/or stealing their equipment and breaking it. They have tried (and in some cases succeeded) in breaking into buildings and setting fires inside. They have tried to light police precincts on fire.

Portland Police has been catching and releasing these rioters for over 50+ days because the DA refuses to prosecute. The mayor is the police commissioner of Portland and he recently came out to stand with the people attacking federal law enforcement. The city council is even more radical than the mayor. The local government and state government have done nothing to suppress the riots and arguably are aiding and abetting the actions of a violent and vocal minority of citizens.

The omission of the recent history of the violent actions of many of the "protestors" in
Portland is shocking to see. Only conservative news organizations are making any mention of what is going on. Outlets like CNN, ABC, NYTimes, WPost, etc. have been silent until the recent actions taken by federal law enforcement. When they have talked about now, the coverage has been anything but even handed and has veered into gaslighting and willful blindness. Anyone who tries to speak out about this on Twitter is attacked en masse. Unless you go looking for a different opinion, you likely have no idea what is really going on.
Well, that could lead to people claiming that they do not have proper internet access, even they had, just to be back at US.

Still, I feel like this is not a good thing to do, people are there to study and losing bright minds like these should harm US a lot.
Yeah, it's a bit like claims that "we don't know how they built the pyramids" and such. There are multiple competing theories. The fact that we don't know, for certain, exactly which one matches what was done thousands of years ago doesn't mean the technique has been "lost." There's no engineering mystery here, just a gap in historical knowledge.
It doesn't make sense to smuggle a drug that can be manufactured in the country.
Ah framerate breaking things always makes me think of Dark Souls at 60fps, making a bunch of jumps and skips harder, falling right through the floor sliding down some ladders, etc.

I was actually under the impression that BOTW ran at 60fps when docked, but I probably got my wires crossed and I'm thinking of resolution.
Our son is at Exeter University and they notified me a couple of days ago about this - they identified Blackbaud as the service that had the problem.
They have tremendous artistic value as evidenced by people's interest in them - which gives art its value.
Also, while kitschy and unpretentious, he knew what he was doing and they are done with a certain amount of skill.
I work remotely and live in a low cost of living country, but find that's not very true for me. I always have my own projects and hobbies to work on, and I love working on them whenever I want to. I feel pretty motivated and fulfilled with that, so I don't get the feelings you mention.

Not having a job can sometimes feel like you don't have a long-term purpose, but I think that's mostly because we've been used to working, rather than any intrinsic thing. Besides, I don't know why having a long-term purpose at work is any more fulfilling than a long-term hobby.
I created a file format designed for sharing data in-between language learning apps (JSON based + signature). It’s not released yet but if someone is interested please reply below. It would be great to have software other than mine using it.
And the red square is federal property that is the jurisdiction of federal officers. Protestors broke into and set fire to the adjacent courthouse, in addition to vandalizing and looting nearby buildings, so federal officers were sent to defend the federal courthouse. It is legal to make an arrest with an unmarked vehicle. It is legal to make an arrest of someone damaging property in your jurisdiction. So what exactly is illegal here that makes it an overreach?

I agree. Programming shouldn't be (just) thought of as engineering, but also as simply giving the computer complex instructions. There is also the story about RMS teaching secretaries to program Emacs by not telling them Lisp is a programming language.
The problem with mega doses is that it becomes expensive quickly. 3 grams omega3 daily example.
> Excess deaths is not the same thing as "deaths caused by COVID". This conflation relies on the assumption that you can virtually empty hospitals out and have no effect on mortality at all, which is absurd.

I know that excess deaths aren't the same as deaths caused by COVID. The idea that you can lockdown in week 13 and have 12,000 excess deaths per week 3 weeks later because hospitals were "virtually empty" also seems absurd. Emergency healthcare remained available and the messaging was that people should still go to hospital if they were ill. I do expect deaths because routine healthcare was limited during lockdown, including people who died during the period of lockdown because they couldn't get hospital treatment (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/08/more-people-...), but without further evidence, I'd be sceptical that this was the dominant effect.

I'm not sure what you're claiming here: are you saying that deaths because people couldn't access healthcare are almost entirely the cause of the UK's excess death peak? What is your evidence for that claim?

> If COVID is so deadly, why do some countries show no difference in excess deaths vs previous years?

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/07/15/tracking... has Germany's recorded COVID-19 deaths and excess deaths as 8,538 and 7,549 respectively, and Switzerland's at 1,668 and 1,567. Your question seems to boil down to "why did some countries do so much better at containing the epidemic than others?" I don't know, although Germany and Switzerland seem better organised than the UK so that might have something to do with it.
Why bother investing and prying when you can simply buy those companies off once they become large enough?

Soft times we live in when less than lethal riot control methods are considered on par with militarily executed genocides.
Your heart rate is health data. Uploading an activity includes pulse data, which is useful to analyze to see performance etc. Not having health data on Strava would make the service meaningless. Stop spreading this FUD all over the thread. It's not a dark pattern, uploading this data is exactly what Strava is made for...

This is good news. Along with cutting the scam H1B visas.
But there is one for Linux distributions, released more than a year ago as binary only (not sources at the moment) called "Spine" (like as Wine Spine is not an emulator) that's pretty real and can run a few/couple of commercial titles.

Yeah, more a POC that a full emulator but I can assure you that it works, assuming you can decrypt the supported titles, so you'll need an exploitable PS4 or find a dump on the Interweb...

Edit: link https://github.com/devofspine/spinedemo
Ah got it!

So if a landing page states the same, a product is being developed and if people have interest to follow it, drop their email, that's ok right?
There isn't really such a thing as 'idgaf' centrism though, centrism is about balance and carefully treading a path that meets some of the desires of all sides, while at the same time not going 'far enough' by making compromises.

An 'idgaf' attitude is extremist by its very nature.
This is just stupid. It makes 0 sense.

Education is not just watching someone explain to you what you are trying to learn. It's much more interactive and social.

If online courses can on their own be a substitute for the complete experience, then we actually don't need online courses: Just read a book and you can be brain surgeon.
Law enforcement is wearing patches identifying their department as well as identifying badge serial number. You can see it in many of the photos of them making arrests or standing in combat fatigues on their upper arms.

You can see this in the following picture but the article still has the title: "Unidentified Federal Agents Are Detaining Protesters in Portland"

So was Hitler.
No, it’s a populist nationalist government in Turkey that’s continuing to destabilise the region. Greece has no desire for conflict, but if they are invaded, which is what one nation’s military entering the territory of another nation uninvited is traditionally called, they are within their rights (and duties as a NATO member) to respond.

The IPO pop is definitely giving away value to a bunch of well connected investors who have added no value. Facebook solved it by pricing high and using the greenshoe. Most companies don't seem to have enough leverage to get that and even with Facebook there were plenty of influential people berating them about it. But Google's solution of a dutch auction IPO seems like a more natural solution. To manage the discontinuity of the moment the company starts trading set up the trading book early with the auction and then start trading at a well discovered price. Why hasn't that become standard? Just the gatekeeping of the banks again? Seems like the natural thing to offer next for one of the companies that does markets for still private startups.
Cheaper to make a small investment, take everything you want and let the company fail. Simple economics.
I seem to remember back in the 1990s reading a research paper about a theorem proover that used the phrase "And Bob's your uncle" to indicate success. A query was initiated by typing "Is that a fact".
