I see. At the moment, I'm not super sure hence why I'm hesitant to say that I'm going full throttle on anything but in terms of domains I'm interested in exploring further:

1) "Civic tech" which I hesitate to define since it's so nebulous that I imagine my definition differs from that of other folks but the way I think about it is that it either involves government modernization (a la the Canadian Digital Service), companies that provide services to the government (a quick Google search brings up https://home.promise-pay.com/ as an example), or companies that help communities/cities function better (this one is probably the most controversial criteria but when I include it I'm thinking of Sidewalk Labs). I suppose the secondary "specialty" would have to do with public policy but from perusing the careers pages, it seems that in general experience is all they're ultimately interested in (at least for the software engineer positions I would be gunning for) but I would suspect some domain knowledge is what they would prefer in addition to that. So far, I've just been exploring this domain via involvement with open-source projects within this space.

2) Cybersecurity: I'm not sure if this qualifies as a secondary domain since it's still very "computer sciencey" and is quite broad in and of itself but I suspect that it's a much wider space than civic tech which is why I find myself torn between which one is worthy of further exploration. Within this space, I would probably be either be interested in application security positions (https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/123558231663498/ as an example) or "secure software development" positions which I understand are positions that involve building software that operates in the context of improving the security posture of a company (ex. software that conducts static analysis of source code to find potential vulnerabilities). To determine whether I am interested in this domain, I've just been going through application security resources (currently, the Crypto 1 course from Stanford but I'll be following that up with other resources from https://github.com/paragonie/awesome-appsec). With regard to next steps after that, I've been thinking of https://www.edx.org/masters/online-master-science-cybersecur... but I'm a bit conflicted given that I've received conflicting opinions on the usefulness of a masters within the field of cybersecurity.

TL;DR: "Civic tech" and cybersecurity are the 2 I'm considering. I'm unsure which domain is worthy of my entire attention but I've been immersing myself in each to a varying degree via related activities.
Eventually that data will become associated with your real identities. How could it not? you're obviously so-and-so's grandfather/first-cousin/whatever, and they gave their names.
That's kerning. Tracking is when you adjust the kerning equally to expand a word to fit a space.
Is there anything similar for windows platform? I would love to pay to get in depth technical articles but with keeping Windows as platform in mind.

I pinged our Trust & Safety team to take another look.
3) Don’t work or code right before bed, do something mindless for an hour like watching a show or playing a game.

You tried not even touching a device or computer for 1.5-2 hours before bed? I find it also works great.
Fair enough. But this isn't exactly humble chat app David versus ubiquitous groupware Goliath. Slack is growing fast, has had very large investment and is also trying to dominate this space by bundling as much as it can too. Their aspiration seems to want to be on the other side of this lawsuit in future.

(Incidentally it feels like that's where every business productivity tool ends up going: my file sharing service lets me edit documents, my project management tool lets me send emails, my email client lets me chat, my CRM lets me log tickets, my code repository service lets me host websites etc.)
I mean does it really matter what the church says? The important part is what God actually thinks here and that seems to be very different depending on who you ask.
There's no such thing as a state of emergency, only the state of war. Anything else needs to go through the parliament, directly or indirectly.

By indirectly I mean something akin to the USA executive order, but agreed upon the cabinet, not the PM, then countersigned by the President, who can veto it. Then it lasts 60 days and must be confirmed by the parliament, or becomes void.

Keep in mind the constitution was written right after WW2, so the writers were carrying the scars of "emergency measures" going into dictatorship.

There are a few things that can be done by the health ministry, but nothing as big as a country wide lockdown.
> The Windows Store and Steam both charge 30%, too...

That's probably the easiest way to discredit this report, their Windows Store numbers are wrong if they're claiming all sales are charged 30%. Microsoft only charge 5% for a sale referred from another website, and only 15% for a sale that originated in the store:

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2018/05/07/a-new-...

Google seems to already be out in front of the likely ramifications. I got a Google survey last week asking opinions on spinning the Play Store off as a separate non-Google owned company, how much I would pay to use the Play Store, and opinions on competing sideloaded stores (eg Epic Games Store, Amazon)
I wonder if we're getting close to being able to synthesize a DNA profile and fool most of the labwork being done.

Most DNA profiles are SNP's and they wont be enough to 'clone' a DNA sample.
OP - I suggest adding some info to your profile or post here so they can identify you? Not sure if you can do that without revealing yourself to everyone else...
I largely agree with Slack failing to innovate on the user experience side and continue to deliver new value to customers. I give them the benefit of the doubt that they've been doing lots of innovation on the backend that I can't see.

In my heart I feel that as long as Teams remains at least a half-decent product it will be very difficult for anyone else to compete in this space as long as MS bundles Teams with Office. Office absolutely is a monopoly -- pretty much any new software that's bundled with it is going to eat everyone's lunch. Doesn't matter if that's Teams or a Spotify clone ("Music for Office") or an HR suite.

This rule feels valid to me for any general purpose software that's used in nearly any business. I don't think it holds up for specific domain software: VSCode doesn't eat IntelliJ's lunch, and a half-decent Photoshop clone included with Office365 wouldn't kill Photoshop. It also doesn't hold for other free software (Edge can't eat Chrome because Chrome is also $0 so they only compete on utility, not price).

If it ends up there's no future competition for Teams, that's not going to be a good thing for consumers / citizens at large. It's definitely in the interests of the public to ensure that there's a healthy market for competition.

Part of making sure things are good for consumers / citizens is also making sure there can be tight integration. If Slack can make a client that integrates Teams and Slack channels into one frontend, and integrates with Outlook/Exchange/Calendar as well as Teams does, and allows users to hop on Zoom calls, that would be amazing.

I'm currently a strong proponent for opening up API's in software so that new companies can add value on top of existing services, rather than having to build all of Rome from scratch just to develop the Colosseum.
Perhaps you are using your intuition. I do let it guide me without overanalizing every decision but more like feeling it. Programming is also an art and intuition can play a bigger role in it. Engineering is the organized form but built on pre-existent ideas enforcing helpful boundaries.

I think when faced with too many slices in decision-making and decision considerations as you put it, it could become overwhelming especially if one is not completely sold on a certain ideology/opinion to fight for. Thats where intuition can be a good guide. However, intuition can do only as much, it needs to feed off at times with some external input such as this type of opinionated articles.
The Geert Wilders case seems unrelated to the "big" Twitter hack. Might have been regular phishing/SIM swap.
Parallels have been able to use Hypervisor.framework already since version 12, AFAIK. that was not yesterday.
TIL Tatyana singing about meeting her desire in "My Dream" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSMP9Gs5cSQ could be considered a very indirect reference to Tatyana Larina's Dream about Eugene Onegin.

Hmm. This comment and the reply got me thinking... I wonder how many people are erroneously being blocked by CF at any one moment?

It sadly seems impossible to eliminate all the maliciousness without also impacting legitimate users, but it's obviously a low enough number that the various little uproars never really gain momentum.

But thinking about how technical users severely impacted by the situation gives me an idea: a Chrome/FF extension could trivially the various CF block/captcha page HTML, and fire off a ping to a server somewhere with some statistics about ISP, (very) coarse location (eg, capital city resolution), time of day, optionally the website in question... hmm, and maybe the server could have an account/distinction system, so it could let users who cannot access XYZ website they don't want to disclose, how many other users in their area are also unable to access the site...

Hmm. Thinking this through was useful. There are a lot of tricky privacy balances this would need to upset in order to be most practical. And then on top of that the malicious users would probably figure out a way to ruin such a service :/

Wait. Maybe use an invite system with a user tree?

Of course, but there are instances of the opposite. I encounter both from time to time. For example I want to show someone a video while having a drink, usually it doesn't have to be crisp 4K 60fps, just play the god damn thing before we lose interest. Other times I want to watch a video, I'm in the middle of nowhere anyway, I have time and data in the monthly cap, just not enough bandwidth.

User choice and smart defaults would go a long way.
Maybe I missed it, but what device is on the other end of the COM connection? His router?

What's the reason against SSH'ing from the gateway to the servers instead of the physical COM connection?
No, he's not saying to flip, he's saying that the left and right halves of your face aren't symmetrical, and it's very uncanny valley if you view a portrait of a person with symmetrical left and right halves.

Well, it's also a case that some owners seem to be using this to "put a bullet in the shambling zombie".

The "Original Hot Dog Shop" in Pittsburgh, PA and "Threadgill's" in Austin, TX seem to have fallen to this.

It seems like the people running it were doing the work but were getting a bunch of grief from within the family. So, Covid gave them the excuse to shutter the restaurant and get it off their plate without causing huge intra-family strife.
Pijul's native Diff implementation, https://crates.io/crates/diffs / https://nest.pijul.com/pijul_org/pijul:master/6afda19ba69307..., is a key part to the Rust+Lua version control system we're working on, https://github.com/speakeasy-engine/gut. (This app will be a game changer.)

I started migrating the library tonight, because, moving forward, we'll be adopting it (btw, I just discovered it has some recent changes worth reviewing). We also maintain native Rust libraries for interdiff (wip), combinediff, splitdiff, lsdiff, and patch. It's late now, but I'll add it in with those libraries in https://github.com/changeutils.

If you'd like to add support in Gut for existing Pijul-managed sources, you could help work on the migration feature. We plan to support compatability with other patch-oriented version control systems, as well as with Git. It'll make history when we add that feature.

VCSs can seem a lot more complicated than they need to be. Getting back to the basics, as we're doing with Gut, really illuminates a lot of obscured opportunities. As a few other parts of the Speakeasy Engine soon come together, even a Web UI for version control management will fit well in our coding toolset.
I found two cups of coffee in the day made it easier to sleep than one. Quizzed my doctor on this and the reason given was the liver will process it out of your system once a threshold is reached. The threshold varies amongst people too.

I have some software that does keypoint detection for gaze tracking (which is usually roughly equivalent to what facial recognition does).

My software works absolutely fine on these images - it correctly identifies all keypoints.

I would question if this works beyond the specific pieces of software they tested against.
I write content that straddles marketing and technical writing for a living. Clients find me through referrals (best for me) or the marketing agencies I have established relationships with (more reliable but less money). In the decade I’ve been doing this, I’ve never so much as created an account on Fiverr or Upwork.

A lot of published work is substandard for two reasons: businesses aren’t willing to pay enough and they have no expertise in editing. Even the best writers benefit from an editor who can knock their work into shape and keep them on the straight and narrow. Publishers know this, but the average marketer or entrepreneur does not, or, if they do know it, they are not willing to pay for high-quality editing (running writing through Grammarly doesn’t count).
The automated contact emails are hilarious. Basically just there to help you scratch an itch to try things.

At some point questions like these become more like: Guess which exact sentence I am thinking about

I am very good with HTML and CSS and would definitely be able to solve sth like this. But not on a whiteboard, I would have to be able to fool around with it.
The thing that confuses me is, how can you have great metrics (needed for Seed rounds) without already having product market fit? If you have great metrics, then are you not already a scaleup just waiting for some money to do the scaling? Then you don't need to experiment anymore because you already know what makes your metrics work?
Posts I write for my personal blog would also cost around $1k on my rate. I do it to build personal brand for consulting. So far it was worth it. Some customers referred posts I wrote almost decade ago.
I doubt it. VMware would need to develop special drivers just for macOS, since there seems to be practically zero cooperation from Apple here. Even with some compatibility shim or custom drivers, just like Hackintoshes, these VM's would be subject to breaking on every OS update.

And the EULA clearly states it only allows up to 2 instances of macOS to be virtualized on a Mac computer already running Apple software, ie macOS.[1]

It sounds like you were into those things, now you're not. No big deal. So find something else you are now into and do that, maybe come back to those other things later.

I'm into a lot of different things, but only 1 or 2 at a time. I can't force myself to do something I'm not naturally into at the moment. I'm taking better notes now (started a couple of decades late) so when I go back to a subject months or a year later, it's all there waiting for me to continue.

You seem to be trying to force yourself, and seeing it as a problem with you that's it's not working. Be kinder to yourself! If you were treating someone else that way, trying to force them to focus on something they didn't want to, day after day, you would seem very mean, wouldn't you? One thing I've learnt is, we're taught to be nice to other people, but not to be nice to yourself, which is perhaps most important, as treating others well is difficult at best without that, and we're with ourselves 24/7. Treat yourself like someone you really love.[1] Sounds like you're blaming yourself, torturing yourself! The Albert Ellis' classic New Guide to Rational Living[2] was also very helpful to me, to become aware of how I was treating myself, what things I was saying to myself, and changing the negative things.

John Perry's essay on procrastination might be helpful too[0] – in short, have such a great list of To Dos that even if you're procrastinating by doing things much lower on the list, they still add up to an awesome life! I thought it was genius.

Good luck!

I think I pressed a key (any key) on my number pad less than ten times in 6 years. I don't have any use case for a numberpad. Maybe if I still played Nethack.
What a diverse set of opinions. Some believe it should be capitalized so as to make it more difficult for whiteness to maintain its power, while others believe it should be lowercase, so as not to legitimize white identity.

That form factor is interesting, I had seen another like this before from somebody who had been travelling. Also interesting is that there seems to be demand for it in some countries and not others.

Getting the pre-reqs for medical school out of the way when you’re in college the first time is an incredibly smart move, even if you don’t go on to pursue Medicine. I looked into attending med school 10 years after getting my BBA in Accounting, and it turns out I need a ridiculous number of pre-reqs just to qualify for applications. Something like 60-90 hours (prob. closer to 90 for me as even my basics like business calculus doesn’t meet the math requirements of a BS - engineers who took engineering calculus don’t have to worry about this).

It’s too much for me to seriously consider going back for medicine, tbh. I’d have about 3 years of part time classes at community college or online, maybe less if you could squeeze more in each semester.

Law school requirements where I live aren’t as significant, in fact I don’t think there are any. So I have considered sitting for the LSAT... Family of doctors and lawyers so the thought of going back to school is always on my mind.

The US doesn't have nearly as many street food vendors as some other countries. I've never seen anything like a Taiwan night market, for example, where you might find one person selling green onion pancakes, cooked one by one on a griddle, for a price that's low even by local standards.

I wonder whether regulatory capture is happening, either intentionally or organically, by way of licensing, inspection, and food preparation rules that make it hard for anything smaller than a food truck to thrive in the US.
If you look at the bottom there are 3 or 4 Biggie songs graphed. I imagine none of them stood out enough to make the article.
Before I got accustomed to gnuplot, I was most familiar with d3. I spent a lot of time prototyping different viz strategies for myself in d3. All I can say is, I was blind and now I see.

If you get a rush from piping massive csv files into sed/awk/grep/tr/cut, then into wc/sqlite3/[etc], and are at all interested in plotting visuals of the results for yourself, please do yourself a favor and spend 30 minutes riding the learning curve of this wonderful program. IME, the docs are wonderful and kind to beginners who aren't afraid to cmd+f for the bits they're interested in.

After a couple hours of fiddling, you'll find getting a first stab at a graph faster in gnuplot than in excel. Then, you'll wonder about all that time you could have been saving your whole life. Like any other cli tool, its language takes a bit of grokking, but you can institutionalize your knowledge in scripts and carry them with you the rest of your life. Seriously, try it out.
