> The ones joining frats, partying constantly, playing sports and all that must have trivial classes. Either that or they’re already so rich and privileged that they can afford to fail courses and keep going.

You'd be surprised. Unless you're with someone 24/7 you actually don't know what else they are doing. I knew a girl in college who you might think partied all the time. I mean, she was always out and about, so makes sense. Except, the few people who knew her better got to see her literally study for 24 straight hours by sleeping 15-20 minutes here and there, slam a diet mountain dew on the way to class and ace the test. These were non-trivial classes, and she graduated with a 4.0 by the way.

Was this a healthy way to go through college? I don't think so. It certainly was not how I did it. But it did show me a level of effort around studying/working I didn't think was possible, and also that what people do in private will surprise you.
google is not attacking the url bar, it's attacking dns, just like aol and verisign (and others) before it. google wants to replace the decentralized dns system with a centralized google lookup service, powered by their principle competitive advantage, search. google wants to control the internet itself.

they're banking on the idea that the average user wants to type (or speak) "macdonalds" and end up engaging with mcdonald's in some form. google wants to be the gatekeepers of the whole internet, not just the browser. the browser is small peanuts in comparison.

the simple narrative of this title/story is the kind of distraction we need to see right through with large organizations everywhere, whether it be a corporation, a government, or anything else. we the people must keep these entities in check so that they serve the greater good for all of us, not just the narrow and corrupt.
And we didn’t reproduce the hierarchical nature of files in the cloud, rather we have flat lists, tags, sort-by-recently-opened, etc.

However, flat structures are harder to use, and people tend to use Google Docs less than the shared network folders when Word existed.
If you're happy doing that then fine. I will add though that replacing a chain every 3 months only makes sense if you're a pro. Make sure you also replace the cassette and chainrings at the same time or else you'll just wear your new chain down very quickly. They should all be replaced at the same time. If your cassette and chainrings aren't worn then your chain isn't either. A chain-splitting tool costs about $20.

Entire brakes or just the pads? I hope it's just the pads.

Is there a rational reason behind this? The hyper scary emotional reaction is to close everything down, but given the at risk population is well understood- is this a money grab?(less brick and mortar costs)

The 70 year old professors and obese 50 year old professors clearly are able to online teach, why make everyone lose?

Microsoft is over 163,000 people. While I don't doubt that executives tend to be motivated by profit, I doubt that everyone shares a singular focus on it. Someone in charge of an open source project at Microsoft today might have been working with Mozilla or Apache yesterday.

I know executive leadership sets trends and influences culture, but I don't agree with the idea that a corporation is nothing more than the extension of the leadership's ambitions.
In some states they can earn interest on them, meaning they still effectively expire over time unless we hit deflation.
I'm not giving up on Skype. Skype gave up on me.

(1) There used to be a Linux app that wasn't a web app in disguise ... not anymore. Skype can't be bother to really support the platform or the UI HIG of at least one toolkit on Linux.

(2) My smart TV has a webcam just so I can take Skype calls, no other reason. Really cool feature for me. Serendipitously my parents love Skype and it made it easy to talk to them from the sofa. Felt very home-y. Two years ago, Skype said, "Umm, I know you paid for this camera so you could be part of our ecosystem... but nah... we don't care about that tech anymore."

Thanks Skype. So long and I hope all the fish start rotting soon.
First - just to clarify I actually believe in many aspects of modern democratic socialism RE: Nordics, and I think 2020 anti-racism is well-intentioned and doing a lot of good work.

That being said, you really have to download some actual coursework from critical race programs at modern universities and actually read through it. And then go on a wikipedia spree to understand the cultural evolution of them and where they came from.

Modern economic Marxists may or may not like these ideas, but certainly the original leaders of critical race theory were Marxists, the same academic language and ideas used by Marxists are ubiquitous in critical race texts. It's in the DNA.

It's not about blaming Marxism, casting some kind of cold war boogey-man, it's just...a strange or somewhat alien or foreign type of thought to many people in the year 2020 but it is a big part of the intellectual underpinnings of this branch of education/academia that is growing in cultural importance.
Same here, I thought it would take months but it actually took minutes. I set Fastmail to connect through IMAP to Gmail, it got everything in a few minutes, I pointed the domain to it and I was done! I couldn't believe it was that easy.

EFF, who I do follow, has not criticized the withdraw.

I don't know enough about Bernie or Clinton to know where they stand on the issue. Clinton's de-endorsement was probably not genuine so I'd bet she has criticisms of the withdraw.

My main point is that an issue that was popular on the left (enough for Clinton to flip-flop on) seems to now be mostly the voices of the left criticizing the withdraw.

There might be some bias there because people who did support withdraw might be less incentivized to vocalize support for policy that landed in their favor.

There's apparently some ways for malware to avoid detection. So yet another arms race whackamole.

Frankly, as a noob consumer, it's exhausting. It definitely impacts my spending.

FWIW, one of my besties worked on an audit tool which runs apps in a sandbox, screening for malware and whatnot. My impression was that it was a lot of effort for little reward.

COVID just demonstrates there's a "we thought y'all would be sensible" hole in the Founders' thought processes. Quarantines have been an accepted thing for millennia - George Washington himself instituted a smallpox one (and a innoculation campaign!) - and the quarantines have all been state-level thus far which the Tenth Amendment offers quite a bit of wiggle room for.

Business licenses, state-run liquor stores, handwashing requirements at restaurants, mandatory vaccination to go to school, even masks being required in surgery have all been fine constitutionally.
GT was an add-on to IC2 and its development ran alongside IC2 during IC2’s hayday. There have been six official GT versions, but the latest one is on 1.7.10.

GT5 had an expansion to it made (GT5U) that was so great that it inspired the creation of GT New Horizons (GTNH).

GTNH is the currently the most active GT community, but it goes a little off the grind deep end imo. There has been a large amount of effort to balance every recipe in a huge number of mods and it’s great fun if you’ve already played through GT a few times.

GT Community Edition (GTCE) is a fan recreation of GT5 in contemporary versions of MC. The last I saw, the maintainer had bad vision and was not receptive to feedback. It is not worthy of the GT name.

On one side there is a shrill loud voice saying it's foolish to take it, it's less than useless, etc, and on the other side there are multiple studies showing it is/was useful if used in a particular way.

It seems there is no clear consensus on whether, and in what circumstances, the fifth amendment applies to phone passcodes:

> Earlier this year, a Philadelphia man was released from jail after four years of being held in contempt in connection with a child-pornography case. A federal appeals court rejected his argument that the Fifth Amendment gave him the right to refuse to unlock hard drives found in his possession. A Vermont federal court reached the same conclusion in 2009—as did a Colorado federal court in 2012, a Virginia state court in 2014, and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 2014. But other courts in Florida, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania have reached the opposite conclusion, holding that forcing people to provide computer or smartphone passwords would violate the Fifth Amendment.
> Obviously not good, but that's amount of increase is not going to change the course of society.

Are you old enough to remember Sept. 11, 2001? That changed a lot after far fewer deaths! Moreover, there's not much US political leadership can do[1] about deaths from Cancer, Heart Disease, etc. COVID 19, on the other hand...

[1] I mean besides something like Medicare for All. But let's ignore that for the moment since it's harder to draw a straight line from those policy decisions to deaths.
Getting mad at etymology is a sisyphean torture. You will always lose at this game. It's the nature of language.

I'm mad at "literally," because it evolved out of a misunderstood cliche that became an "um word." Lowest form of etymology. I'm trying to get over it.

Sustainability evolved because it was used to describe slash and burn agriculture, overfishing and such. It evolved in a pretty natural way, reflecting the way ecosystems actually work. It also became associated with "sustainability practices" which really do improve sustainability in the narrow sense. Bycatch reduction does improve the sustainability of target species harvest. Bycatch reduction is also environmentally preferable regardless of target species sustainability... but it still gets called environmental "sustainability" even if the goal is not "continue doing what you are doing uninterrupted.

The broader sense of "sustainability" is also related to the narrow sense in practice. Oil pipelines leak and pollute, on average. If you try to build one today, locals will vigorously try to stop you. Leaky pipes do not directly prevent oil from being piped, but they do create a political reality where you can't continue to build them. Very few overground (or over-river) pipelines are being built in places that have political rights.

All this seems like a good, healthy, literate way for a language to evolve.

Overused, I agree... but still way better than literally.
Age of Ascent – PVP Public Alpha UTC 7PM
I hadn't considered it this way, but you are correct in that the COVID-19 crisis has been putting a lot of stress on the limits of government in the constitution. It also seems clear that federalism and individual liberty are at odds with the effective fighting of highly contagious diseases in a coordinated fashion. I do not want to give the government power because they have a track record of abuse, but how does a society fight something communicable like this?
Autophagy regulates fatty acid availability for oxidative phosphorylation
I agree somewhat but there are still differences between the 2 workouts. I guess it boils down to the different muscle types that are recruited for each workout: slow-twitch muscles for jogging versus fast-twitch muscles for weightlifting.

Linear progress is easy to track with runs when you push yourself hard enough as you say, but not so much with weights because it comes with it’s own tending. For instance, to really see results rapidly, your diet has to change such that you are getting certain amounts of protein and other nutrients to build muscle mass.

I have tried to copy the discipline I’ve inculcated from running regularly for weightlifting, but I’m not able to sustain it because in addition to it using up fast-twitch muscles, it also comes with a change in dietary habits that go with that kind of workout.
Except it doesn't have very good refactoring tools. Sometimes you need to change just one small thing about some sub-graph of your factory, but circumstances require you to re-do most of it to implement that change. This is just busy-work, and not "fun", to me at least.

I know later in the game more options open up, but that doesn't help me get there.

I wish for a Factorio-style game where I can just drag (groups of) machines and conveyors around, and I just pay cost for however much just changed.
> I'm hoping it can still be used to send $5 to someone and just have it take days to arrive

Here's the thing. Why would anyone want to do that?

1. First world people living a privileged life: Why would any idiot in this category send $5 and wait for days to arrive when they can just use Venmo or all kinds of upcoming payment systems from the big tech cos like Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.?

2. People in non first world countries: Bitcoin can only facilitate 1MB of transactions per block. The poor people will be priced out of ever using Bitcoin if Bitcoin was used for transactions. These people won't use bitcoin, they will use whatever that's cheapest. Even the ones who "store" their value in Bitcoin will never use Bitcoin for transactions, just for storing.
> writer at "some website" and I decided to check it out

Follows, per that campaign doc I linked. It's interesting how complex it's getting!

That threat intel report was dropped, I went to the website to scope out some of the "authors" that were attributed and saw their articles. I went back a day later and the authors' posts and profiles were down.

What also stood out to me was that website direct linked to some more substantial websites like Zerohedge. Zerohedge has long been iffy, but it still gets read by professionals for the financial analysis it includes. It has a good rep in this area per some historical research it produced.

Just in terms of tight network links, Zerohedge leads to Drudge leads to Fox, which. That's fascinating to me. Your description of that website sounds a lot like campaign's base website for its "authors."
Sure. You don't have to convince me of this! I'm already a believer :)

That makes perfect sense and it's definitely true that sometimes the hotfix is not a bug in your code (which can be solved by a rollback) but instead having to patch a problem in a dependent system. But that seems orthogonal to the container issue. Shelling into a live server and changing something only works if you have the entire build toolchain on the production server which hasn't generally been the case in my experience. Even if you aren't using containers you still need to build artifacts and deploy them. It's just that you are deploying binary artifacts instead of containers. It doesn't seem like the container builds are the real long pole in that process.
If he does do it I think it potentially puts Biden in a tough spot. Biden would have to denounce it (since he was part of the team that wanted him), but that’s contra what lots of libertarians and some leftists would favor vis a vis exposure of government overreach into citizens’s private data.

It would be deft but also political, but then again what politician doesn’t make political moves, including interventionist wars?
Manning stood to face her her crimes like a long line of revered civil disobedients before her. Snowden ran away into the arms of a hostile foreign power. That has just as much to do with pissing off the government as what either of them revealed.
We are using Convox v2 too and are happy with it, but I'm hesitant to do the upgrade to introduce the complexity of kubernetes to our devs and if convox the right abstraction on top of kubernetes when there which is already a pile of abstractions in k8s itself (and so many other tools to choose from in the k8s universe).

https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli isn't ready for our use cases, but is more or less convox v2 built by AWS.
Yeah the demo doesn't illustrate the MediaSync aspect very well. But if you give the product a go you ought to get a sense of what we described in the implementation part of the write-up.

Why do you think non-profits should pay lower salaries than for-profits? It's good for the world if non-profits can compete with corporations as they tend to act more ethically. Also, from a macro-economic point of view, wages are one of the best things a company can spend it's money on.

Not trying to nit pick (but here we go), but allowing an escalation to cost hundreds of hours seems like a systemic corporate issue. It's absolutely a customer service hurdle, you can't just tell a customer sending in a ticket to shove it, and throwing something back them that they signed acknowledging it is never helpful. But even involving engineers in these cut-and-dry scenarios (whether the customer agrees or not) seems like a poor decision.
True, but while infected with mild (or no) symptoms, they may also unknowingly spread it to university employees, townsfolk, or their parents while visiting for the weekend.

So even assuming that the personal danger is acceptable (which isn't a given; 300 deaths sounds like a horrible and avoidable tragedy to me) death figures among healthy 20-somethings don't capture the full risk of keeping a university open.
I don’t understand, the lock icon gives you exactly the information you could want from that though? It tells you immediately if the site you are on is HTTPS, you don’t have to hover or anything. And if you want even more details (which is not something anyone does while they browse the internet, FWIW) you can also get that information too. This change hides the information that people actually expect that UI to have–that’s why there’s an option to in-hide it!
It's interesting to contrast western bike culture with China. I've always found it weird how seriously people take it here - gotta dress up in a little speed suit, $5k bike, constant animosity with drivers. I guess that's the difference between a hobby-based subculture and commodity transportation.

The bike shop I'm familiar with is the one-man operation on the side of the road, with a dish of water and some tools on a tarp.

The core argument here sounds surprisingly reasonable: that the Hubbell case was a 5th amendment violation because the defendant was asked to make a judgement call about which documents to produce, and that a fishing expedition would be a 4th amendment case.
Why?

The constitution gives broad powers to regulate commerce and you don’t really see any of the stay at home or mask orders actually being enforced outside commercial regulation.

When I read the local orders they don’t really have teeth, or are written in a way that it is impossible to actually violate them, outside commercial regulation.

> SQL

Generation after generation of programmers takes one look at SQL and decides it would be more convenient to believe that relational databases don't solve any of their problems.

If there's one thing I would recommend to engineers at any point in their career it would be to, if they haven't already, learn enough SQL and enough about relational databases to feel comfortable using them for what they're good for. You start to see a whole class of problems as solved. And there are still plenty of cool problems to work on that relational databases don't solve well.
Mindustry is an amazing game once you get tired of Factorio but want something similar. I much prefer Mindustry's timed-wave combat to Factorio's, but Factorio is more in-depth in the industrial processing/logistics side.
