I'd say habits beat motivation
I'm more than half convinced that the "why did you not write it in Rust" group actually hates Rust and its a meme because those comments certainly promote a visceral hatred.
i think the Matroska container format (mkv) can do things like that. I remember reading that you could store video/audio content in separate files without player configuration. No idea how well that's supported though.

Update: Sorry, but i just realized you were more likely to ask about what this software can do and not how to link external subtitle files to your video.
Added pricing!
If "they" are doing it, where's the issue? Markets may not be perfect, but they're not that bad, especially when huge profits are waiting to be collected with little risk.

> Who owns and benefits from the funds?

Everybody that gets any kind of pension or has any kind of insurance. Is your point that the majority of those may be white and therefore they should've let them crash?
You think this hasnt already been happening?

DataGrail | Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) | Onsite in San Francisco (once opened) or Fully Remote

We're building a data privacy platform that ensures data privacy doesn't suck.

As more regions implement privacy laws, most companies are challenged to comply. Our platform streamlines this entire process while enabling companies to give their users more control and transparency over their data.

We are currently powering privacy for many well-known orgs, and have continued with very healthy growth despite the times.

We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience to help shape our frontend architecture and build great experiences.

Tech Stack: React, Styled Components, Jest, Ruby/Rails, Postgres, and more

If you'd like to learn more, email me at (let domain = "datagrail.io"; "iz"+"@"+domain)
> Many of these C++'s are incompatible with each other.

> Worse, many of the new language features can't be properly implemented because they would break someone else's C++.

Could you give an example?
These do not have to be tiny as they are available as SVGs.
Go to a hospital and see for yourself. You don't know when you will need access to a hospital bed; if there are none available for whatever you need it for, will you be happy with the odds then? Also the deaths are likely highly undercounted. Also most of the people who will die in the next month are just getting sick. 145,000 people in the US were alive April 1 who are dead now from Covid; I wonder how many of them thought the odds were fine on April 1.

In 1918 August most of the people who died in 1918 from the Spanish Flu were still alive.
I would bet that you are right, but it is still a controversial opinion, and droplet transmission is probably still a major factor. Plenty of research supports the claim, although some studies conclude that it is only significant when the spreader has a high viral load:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-69286-3

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

Yes, "cancel culture" exists on both the Left and the Right.
That assumption is exactly the point, isn't it?
New York City is probably way past the point where this kind of exponential spread risk is something to be worrying about, and imposing these kind of measures now seems like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted and run halfway across the country. The antibody testing figures I've seen give an infection rate higher than Stockholm, infection epicenter of no-lockdown open-resturants land. I've heard it said that NYC was already past their peak before lockdown, and given what happened in Sweden I can quite believe it.
Yeah I don’t get that. They sit down to eat, where of course you have to take off your mask, but they don’t keep a distance, and, moreover will keep on chatting during and after eating with masks off...

Your claims do not reflect what the article and the evidence it cites show. To quote:

> Cowling told me that it’s better to call these “short-range aerosols,” as that communicates the nature of the threat more accurately: Most of these particles are concentrated around the infected person, but, under the right circumstances, they can accumulate and get around.

This is the precise opposite of your claim that 6 foot distancing would "matter little under aerosol conditions where air flow patterns dominate transmission." AT NO POINT does the article indicate that droplets are irrelevant. We know they are the key factor in person-to-person transmission. But we also now have evidence that short-range aerosols also play a role, especially in superspreading events.

The evidence is VERY clear that risks are highest in close proximity to infected individuals.

I would encourage you to take another look at the article and read closely.
Truth is a public good and ought to be treated as such. If lies about the coronavirus are free, but the truth is costly, people will die, and indeed they are dying right now.
Yes, those things are true. They do set limits on accurately vinyl record player can reproduce the original signal, but they certainly do not mean that all record players are as bad as this one.

The city has public trash cans on the corner, with bags in them. So you throw your little baggie of dog shit in it, the city collects the bag, and the dog shit is gone.

My trash bin (large, wheeled, plastic variety that lives in an enclosure on the bottom floor of my building) is full of my domestic trash, in several bags, and is not itself lined with a bag. City comes, empties out my bin, it's now an in-theory empty plastic bin. Someone throws a baggie of dog shit in, it just goes to the bottom. It rains, and now there's a slurry of dog shit water in the bottom of my trash bin and it's there forever because my building doesn't have a hose for me to hose it out, nor is there a designated drain for collecting shit water, nor do the city trash collectors upend the bin into the garbage truck - they just grab the bags out and leave the shit-slurry where it lies.

So my suggestion is ... walk to the fucking city trash can literally a half-block away and throw your dog shit in there instead into a domestic trash bin with no bags in it.

Luckily I'm moving the fuck out of this building / neighborhood in December. Wonder what the other tenants will do when they realize no one is putting the building's bins out now...
Protests should shift to "choose-your-own-adventure" style where a blockchain decides which branch to take. Just have a small selection of, say, 4 styles to choose from, where the most extreme includes potential branches with Ghandi-level long-term economic disruption.

That way the stingray offers no advantage over the protesters; law enforcement and protesters get the next chapter at exactly the same time, and no single protestor or group of protestors may be targeted to disrupt the decision-making process.

That pushes law enforcement either back to pre-protest prevention measures (which won't work for a spontaneous protest like BLM), or to disrupt internet connectivity altogether (which, for the Ghandi-level protest has its own economic implications).
The thing that finally made me jump ship to Macbooks about 10 years ago was the fact that I needed a week and a spreadsheet to choose a PC laptop.
Rust officially credits many languages including C++: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

First Mozilla introduction of Rust states:

> Rust is a language that mostly cribs from past languages. Nothing new.

http://venge.net/graydon/talks/intro-talk-2.pdf (I recommend reading the slides — they're great!)

so whoever is accusing C++ of "stealing" Rust ideas is uninformed about C++ and Rust.
‘Clean Up This Mess’: The Chinese Thinkers Behind Xi’s Hard Line
Something also that I noted is that it is somewhat easier to do the task you don't want to do when you're tired / sleep deprived - mostly because effectively, my brain is too tired to argue against doing the thing.
I was talking about Marxism and other revolutionary movements that spring from the French Revolution.

VP and CTO are actual titles that confer authority. What Bakunin is describing are hierarchies of competence in a particular art (techne) but what would he say about parent-child relationships?

I had never heard of Bakunin until now. I'm not an expert on the schools of anarchist thought by any measure so I won't pretend to really be able to hold a discussion you want to get into analysis of various schools of anarchist thought.
Only because there are more expensive phones and where the high price is even part of the marketing, doesn't make that one "budget". There are also many cheaper phones. China is full of them.

For exercise, focus on turning up, at least when I'm (re-)starting out.

When I'm in a regular routine, I enjoy exercising and it feels good, and turning up isn't an issue.

At some point though I inevitably lapse. When I try to start again, I can't do what I used to do, so I push myself to try, but it doesn't feel good and it makes me less motivated to continue.

During these periods I've found it helpful to focus on turning up, rather than trying to push myself. Slowly I start to improve and start enjoying it again, and improvement follows.
That's actually the opposite of what the evidence shows. Masks - even crappy ones, with poor mask protocol - dramatically cut infections
https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/06/modeling-the-impact-...

Citation: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818

Remember: even if a mask doesn't effectively filter out very small particles, it still restricts the velocity of air passing through it. This means aerosolized particles will not travel as far.

It sounds like the main issue you're addressing is that mortgages need to keep getting paid. New York City suspended mortgage payments however, so how were they able to do that without causing all the problems you're describing?
Given that flagship phones are $800-$1000, yes, that's the high end of budget or the low end of mid-range.

>Small business don't need to exist, either.

Nah, you know what doesn't need to exist? Giant multinational corporations beholden to nobody that do whatever they want with impunity around the world, polluting, crushing local economies, lobbying governments, tracking the population like cattle and selling their data for pennies to the highest bidder.

Man the world sure would be better if they didn't exist.

Small businesses though, they're the backbone of just about every small to midsize community around the world.

The problem doesn't exist for in house software. Any good programmer can learn whatever language in a week. They can become good over the next few years. Coworkers to help teach help a lot.

When you turn code over to someone else it matters because who you turn it over to needs to learn the language fast and they won't have a few weeks or someone else to teach them.
Also: Sleep 8 hours, on schedule, in a fully dark, cool room.

I am still unsure on fasting.

"Are we doomed to live through these boom-bust cycles over and over again?"

Yes, for a few reasons:

1. The probability of a catastrophic event is low but non-trivial, so every so often society has to deal with some form of destruction on a scale that is larger than what the economy can absorb. In the ancient world the threshold was lower because economies were smaller, but even the largest economies today still have limits that will be exceeded periodically.

2. Debt is a necessary part of the economy, but we are generally bad at determining how much debt we should carry, and so we periodically overshoot. The result of overshooting is a financial crisis, in which many bad debts and unsustainable businesses will be destroyed (resulting in undershooting the optimal debt level, and thus allowing the cycle to start again). Ray Dalio wrote a free book about the debt cycle that is worth reading.

The Nest Secure has been pretty flaky from my own experience. I agree with you that the hardware design is good, but the software is pretty terrible.

For example, many times on the Nest app I'll try to deactivate the alarm (when coming back home) but it'll give an error saying that it couldn't connect to the alarm, try again later. Yet as soon as I open the door, magically the app knows the door is open and the alarm will sound in n seconds, so clearly there's connectivity of some kind.

Furthermore, it seems that some of the requests to change the state of the alarm (disabled, armed) seem to get queued somehow, since sometimes it'll give an error when disabling the alarm through the app, then I'll go in, disable the alarm, reenable it, and a few minutes later it'll disable it as if the app message got processed later. That's pretty much the worst case scenario; not only does it not respond immediately, but it also leaves the system in a state that's not intended by the user.

It's maddening enough that I'm not buying any more Nest products. They're well designed, but it seems that nobody cares about the software past the out of box experience.
Overleaf (www.overleaf.com) | REMOTE (UK or EU) | Product Specialist

We’re looking for a product specialist to help us support our growing number of institutional and enterprise (B2B) customers, from pre-sales through to onboarding and then operation. This is a highly technical role, involving a detailed understanding of how to install (for on-premise editions), configure, operate and troubleshoot our products, and how to integrate them with customer IT systems and processes.

Some reasons you’d enjoy working with us:

- Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of Free Software.

- Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely. We get everyone together in London every few months for valuable face to face time (coronavirus permitting).

- Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Core hours 2pm–5pm UK time.

- We’re helping scientists get their jobs done faster, which is a good thing now more than ever!

To apply: https://apply.workable.com/overleaf/j/4BA8E719C5/
So if the specification weren't important for you, why did you bother?

I think it's quite nice to have the choice, upgradability, price range, etc.
