I assumed it was some sort of giant intergalactic "clouds"/bands? If this is the case how it remains localized enough given the particle velocities over (assuming) billions of years? There has to be some sort of containing field but it can't be its own gravity.

Or is WIMP basically uniformly distributed, high energy component of interstellar medium?
This is a great post, and I think you often tend to see that kind of humility in top competitors -- especially athletes. I remember a guy in my social circle back at UCLA was an Olympic discus thrower: extremely talented, hard-working, gifted, and intimidating. One of the most humble, respectful, and down-to-earth people. He spoke with great reverence of the sport and his competitors and teammates. My sister's boyfriend was an Olympic-level swimmer and he has the same exact attitude.

From my own experience playing Counter-Strike at world-class levels, I found that, generally speaking, the best players were the most humble and down-to-earth; the ones that talked shit were not only bad teammates, but sub-par players in general. These days, I'm much better than the average Joe at first-person-shooters, but I always point out that I'm actually pretty bad: I'd get easily beaten even by mid-tier semi-pro teams. Interestingly, this is a side-effect of our human brain not quite grasping exponential growth (or log scales). Going from the 95th to the 96th percentile is much harder than going from the 50th to the 85th.
Sadly, the sentiment on HN showcases the inability of people to apply objective reasoning:

The primary indicator I saw is the diminishing sentiment towards the injustice suffered by TikTok.

At the very beginning, the sentiment that TikTok were mistreated was quite popular. Or even was the minstream [1,2].

Now, the sentiment has shifted that "why MSFT buy TikTok, why not TikTok sell to FB/Google". Like what's shown here.

To this date, except the broad claim that "TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, and Chinese government will force TikTok to share private information", there isn't a single evidence that is even remotely relevant to national security.

I am seeing a lot of US company executives are preparing to break from China very unpleasantly in the near future...

C++ could adopt the UFCS universal-function-call feature of D-language that allows any ordinary free function to be called as if they were methods, without any special kind of type annotation.

It really couldn't. It would be a breaking change.
Totally fair!! I think my experience is with much more niche keywords, so competition is less of a worry for me, but you're not wrong.

Just like any other form of marketing, a competitor can come in and sweep you!
Because "it's a deal. It's a steal. It's sale of the f*ing century!"

You tell me if these below are worth 50B or not:

Yes but is the bootloader unlocked? The rootability is also one of my factors in choosing Pixels for my last two phones (Pixel XL and Pixel 3a XL)
> Always seemed weird that they didn't continue a Nexus series below the Pixel.

That was weird, but the criticism obviously stuck -- the #a series is a continuation of the Nexus series.
I should have written, 'They also demonstrate that such motivation cannot be adjusted at whim.'
The Pixel cameras are supposedly incredible. My understanding is that there are usually one or two Android phones per-generation that are considered either slightly better or slightly worse than the iPhone's camera.

I could see Jio making a play, especially with their recent injection(s) of capital.
That has been tried before. Remember Google China? It was forced to follow the same draconian censorship measures as any Chinese companies, and then was forced to leave the country after a cyberattack led to massive amounts of its IP being stolen (the Chinese government denying any links to it, of course).
How do you know which one is bad?
As a counter-argument thought experiment to try and understand how some people might feel that way, imagine this situation:

We've got an epidemic of terrorist shootings in the US. Some law enforcement experts suggest that not only should open carry be legalized everywhere in the US, but that carrying a gun should be mandatory while in public. It's the only way to stop the shootings.

I'm not going to suggest that this is in any way a 100% equivalent argument, far from it. But it might help you get a feel for why some folks are opposed to mandatory masks, even if they seem entirely sensible.

It's not easy to break a commercial lease. Better to drain down the tenant while you can instead of reducing rent and then they die when other contractual obligations drain them down. You likely won't be keeping the tenant alive by letting them stay on reduced rent.

I agree they should, but a lot of these small businesses are restaurants and bars where you have to remove your mask to put food and drinks into your mouth.

I would be surprised if a UVC lamp in an HVAC system is an effective way to spend money. You would need to retrofit in a sizable contact chamber
to get a large fraction of the air exposed to enough UVC, and you would need to deal with the facts that UVC lamps are power-hungry, not that long lived, and don’t like to be switched on and off frequently. And you would need to confirm that the UVC dose in use is effective against actual infectious particles.

In contrast, a plain old filter is likely to be extremely effective. A HEPA filter will catch almost all particles big enough to contain a virus, and a MERV 13 or better filter is quite good. All you need is a filter with enough surface area that a good filter has low pressure drip.

Almost all HVAC systems already have filters, so upgrading them is usually straightforward.

(I used to have a fancy electrostatic precipitator in my HVAC system. What a waste of power and effort in keeping it clean.)
That's a good idea. DMed @VenmoSupport on Twitter. Thank you.
While this is true of programs like Rhino, it's not as true for fusion360. There are no NURBS in fusion360.
I would guess that the fusion360 kernel is very focussed on deterministic solutions, specially being constraint based, where the errors in heuristics would multiply across the history. Interestingly, in situations where the math has more guesswork, as I think lofts and such are, fusion can be really quite bad.
Rhino is amazingly good (and it's many many years old).
Fusion360 is just a baby but it's pretty good for what it does. Once you use constraints based CAD it's hard to go back.

It's not a Godot advertisement. The author is just excited about exploring the possibility of using a game engine for UI development. The point of this article isn't supposed to be a full dive into the nuts and bolts of using of Godot for UI development or anything, just a speculative piece about a novel use for this piece of technology. I doubt the author even knows the answers to a lot of the questions posed.

It's just bringing up an option that most developers wouldn't even consider. This article is asking a question, and just focuses on providing enough detail to frame that question.

I don't think the negativity is justified.

We may only be halfway, one third or less into this pandemic.

I really hope that

1) the early vaccines will work

2) other mitigation strategies (masks, social distancing, quick tests at scale etc) will succeed in keeping R under 1 and small businesses above breakeven in case we're in for another 1-2 years of covid flare ups

If the above don't work, we could be looking at mass unemployment, unbearable private and government debt, and more civil unrest
Isn't camera access something that needs to be explicitly granted through the mobile OS?

By default TikTok requires no permissions and doesn't even ask for a phone number to register.
For starters, it keeps them from wiping their asses on the carpet.
That sounds like incoherent rambling, so perhaps it could replace a manager but not a thinking human.

Those two studies you cite aren't strong scientific evidence. There is no control group, so we don't know what would have happened if they had not been wearing masks. Also the sample size is quite small (n=2 across the two studies).

I've seen some studies that have good controls on influenza, in particular there is a college dorm study that compared no intervention vs. masks vs. hand washing: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2010/01/masks-pl... . This specific study doesn't give strong evidence that masks stop influenza spread.

Also, the individual rights argument is pretty strong. If mask wearing is already at 70% without any government mandate, I'd want really strong evidence and strong reasons to justify government intervention just to push that number a little higher.
At an earlier stage, this work attracted a fair bit of methodological controversy, e.g.

I made this comment when someone was talking about using GLFW and IMGUI to make an application with a openGL window and I think it applies here too, because it is easy to overlook the things that you will eventually need that are not trivial to add once you go down the road of using tools made for only very basic UIs.

"I would bet that the easiest thing would be FLTK. You can use system colors and make an openGL window while having everything else you would expect in a UI library. Executables with no dependencies start at a few hundred KB and it is very fast. There is even a single big pdf for documentation and dozens of examples that show off every widget. FLTK is very underrated these days because no one is out there marketing it.

GLFW and IMGUI are great libraries, but once you start wanting a program with various modal and non-modal windows, menus, widget layout, a native look, file dialogs, fonts, drag and drop, copy and paste, unicode, spreadsheet tables, physical printing, custom widgets, functions to hide OS specific system stuff (like stat, directory listing etc.) you might wish you had started with something made for what you are trying to do. "
To counter that though, it's not nearly as efficient and the additional heat definitely puts more stress on the battery possibly lowering it's lifespan.
I’m not “siding with China” I’m siding with due process and fair and consistent application of the law. If China is a major threat why isn’t the government forcing Tencent, Alibaba, and Huawei to spin-off and sell their American operations to US companies, too? Tencent has to have just as much data as ByteDance. Probably more. And their relationship with the Chinese government and willingness to assist in Chinese government surveillance is well documented. Better than any rumored evidence against TikTok.

I’m not saying TikTok should be allowed. I’m just wondering why, if Chinese surveillance is such a clear and present danger to our national security, we’re only talking about TikTok.

I’m suspicious of any government action in the name of “national security” and I’m infinitely more suspicious when that action is specifically targeted without any logic or reason that can be articulated beyond “national security”.

And not once have human rights been mentioned with respect to TikTok so we both know that has nothing at all to do with it.

They have two AOA sensors. In a particular stroke of genius, the MCAS system would select one randomly at boot and use it exclusively (so you have twice the failure rate of a single sensor and no benefits from an extra one).

And the AOA disagree system the FAA "proposes" installing? That was already an optional extra.

That's definitely true. OTOH it does seem that fewer and fewer applications are designed to match the native look-and-feel. A game engine would not be a good choice if that was a goal of your project, but I don't think most projects these days are too bothered about that.

Fans will recognize that RCT is a descendant of Transport Tycoon, which was created by Chris Sawyer, who ported Frontier Elite 2 from m68k assembly to x86 assembly (and inserted an advert, visible in some spaceports, for “Chris Sawyer’s Transport Game”).

Frontier used a “Scaled Word” datatype to represent the vast interstellar scale of the game, and according to [0] this had a range of 2^65536 ≈ 10^20k.

So there’s something relevant to compare the size of the maze solving time to!

JUCE is another option one could explore for cross platform non-web UI.

It's generally used to make audio apps and plugins, but these require UIs are after all. I'm fairly certain the first versions of Ableton Live were made with JUCE, I'm not so sure about the later ones. MaxMSP is also made with JUCE.
