It's not Python though.. it's a tightly coupled mix of Python, shell and other stuff. You would have to extract the Python to actually run it with a Python interpreter, in which case you don't need xonsh at all.

What I mean by unprincipled is that it doesn't parse or define its language. It passes the problem off to other programs (sh and Python).

One of the sane voices I hear during this pandemic is from Dr Normal Swan, a physician and health journalist here in Oz. He speaks everyday on Coronacast[0]. According to him, one of the reasons is also Dexamethadone which has been proven to reduce mortality by ~20%.

tl;dr of what I've heard on various episodes

- "Standard care" practices have changed

- Dexamethadone

- Lot more of the younger population being infected who have typically been known not to die of the virus (relative to older folks)

- More testing which increases the denominator of CFR

Experienced people usually want to use their preferred IDE. The IDE experience easily available for microcontrollers is usually 1-3 specific IDEs provided by the vendor - rarely the same thing.
I can certainly get behind anything that lowers the amount of surveillance that is happening. Good on Portland for respecting the rights of regular everyday people instead of over-policing government and corporate entities.
Try mentioning "crusade" in an online game when playing with Turks.
Thank you. The WHO seems to agree; I just spotted this:

That said, they are looking at tissue heat as the main threat. This IEEE study shows tissue degeneration in lab tests associated with WiFi exposure, with most effects showing in later measurements across a 6 month period.

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Azuwa_Ali/publication/2...

This paper also demonstrates very significant effects on liver enzymes, consistent with the other study. It was interesting to see both studies observed increasing effects over longer periods of exposure. https://journals.sbmu.ac.ir/aab/article/view/19283

Most of the info on EMR on the web is disastrously bad. Somatosensory amplification is common among people with certain behavioral health diagnoses, and the web has certainly amplified that- but a lot of this dates back to the days of tin-foil hats. I’ve tried to focus on finding decent quality info and found a lot of noise and fear-mongering opportunists around this subject.

My little survey this evening leaves me still a bit concerned. I find no reason to think those papers aren’t credible, but I would welcome any criticism you can point me to.

Intuitively it seems to me that if EM energy is powerful enough to move large amounts energy and information, it’s powerful enough to erode systems in its path, even without ions or heat.
Imagine with so much data, US still has so many problems and don't have "Minority report" yet... go figure...

There needs to be EU based options before any of them could be replaced.
Opengl is expensive to support, because drivers can be quite large today.

Vulkan lets dev do things directly.

You could say opengl is one "layer of crap" Carmack was talking about.

I'm still happy to use it though.
Indeed [1]. For context I design antennas for a living (yes including "meta-materials", AESA, and high power), so not the first wireless power transfer design I've encountered. If this is different, awesome, I'd love to read a whitepaper.

All I'm saying is I hope you have a background in EM. There's lots of stuff that sounds great in approximation and models, but breaks down in reality.

I can't imagine generators that are used to accommodate intermittent power loss would contribute materially to overall carbon emissions.
Well that do bring a pretty interesting question.

I publish a message on my Facebook wall, can it then be kept on Facebook US database? It just like an e-mail, any recipient should be able to keep it, isn't it?

Okay now I send my age, can they keep it? Why not? I send you my birth date by email, you can keep it, can't you?

What's the limit, and how does it works? When I send an email, it's clear who's my recipient, so is that the limit? Recipients has to be clear? Then can a corporation be the recipient too?
America won't arrest you on your vacation here just because you criticized the country on social media. I'd take American hegemony over Chinese hegemony any day of the week.

Ah yes, D3D, well known for its broad cross platform support! In all seriousness, would a Linux D3D driver even be legal? I have to assume that major legal or technical barriers exist, otherwise why wouldn't a GPU vendor have developed one at some point?

Nice.
Can be said about the social media/tech companies/leaders.
I’d love to know how it can so cheap to make and still be profitable? What environmental / labor horrors need to occur?
Behavior can “reproduce” when it is copied by (or taught to) others. There are a variety of selective factors that make it more likely for certain copied behaviors to “survive” and then be copied further. This is cultural evolution.

Of course, much complexity is uncovered when you dig into the details. It isn’t a perfect analogy but it seems very useful.
In other news, water is wet.

Jokes apart, if this is true then what is the legitimate use case for Facebook for getting access to router? This may be potentially used for ad fraud, DDoS, surveillance etc all of which have potential penalties. I wonder if they have added another clause in their ToS that they may use auxiliary mediums/ channels/ network devices to collect data so that they can improve customer ad delivery experience.
The government mandated curfews, for instance, do not seem to have been a recommendation from the health authorities (in fact, no other country has them).

It really does not make much sense to unnecessarily restrict the times when people can, e.g., go out and buy groceries. The wider the allowed hours, the less density of people there will be in those indoor places, which will help decrease the spreading of the virus.
What is the advantage of this over using the Gmail web ui? The Gmail web ui works great for me, has keyboard shortcuts, push notifications, works on all operating systems, supports multiple accounts with the /u/1/ subpath, etc. What does this offer that I'd be willing to pay for it and lock myself in to Mac OS exclusively?
This is perfect. Thank you for sharing this.

I might start implementing some of these but would love for someone else to add a few PRs as well. The code is pretty modular especially if we want to add new strategies.
They recently added it the roadmap though.
Your photos are fair game but if you present someone prominently in your ad they absolutely can come after you for damages or for monetary compensation for using their image. Why do you think that celebrities can sue for it? You think the average joe can't do the same thing?
Though I completely agree that the double standard is ridiculous, the reasoning behind it likely involves the complicated arrangement between Germany and the US military. China doesn't still have 30,000 troops "occupying" Germany.
It isn't just about customers, but also vendors and employees.
Generic could help but that could be just a wrapper over the main api.
This is ridiculous. That board position was clearly given with the intention of getting more strategic advice on how to win more three-letter agencies business, it’s clear as sun (on a normal day that’s not today in California).
We're living in the gold ages before everything we do within eyeshot of anyone is recorded like that Black Mirror episode anyone can review/share anything they've seen with their own eyes.

And it's going to be very interesting, to say the least. This facial recognition war is just the start of our attempt to engineer ethics for the new era.

I mean, just imagine how sex will be different in this world.
I’m thinking it will be a pretty good movie based on Villeneuve‘s track record but I’m betting this bigger budget will bring on more studio story experts and general meddling and in the end we’ll get another genre movie with touches of good taste decisions (Trailer does have very nice cinematography/lighting and the sand worm looks good) mixed with watered down/familiar design and formulaic story beats. I think the movie will shoot itself in the foot by trying to make everyone happy. It seems like it will be a well-made film that no one seems to love.

The Pink Floyd cover doesn’t work for me either.
You are correct, that's why sit ins and say blocking a road work. Grabbing a rock and using it to destroy someone's storefront is a crime and those people need to go to jail. It just seems like a shame that some people don't seem to see the difference now and support the rioters and people destroying property as if they are noble souls or something rather than the criminals that they are.
I can recall there were programs like "Waterfall" and "Rain" which were supposed to force Win9x to HLT when idle.

Is there a particularly good resource around accessibility for websites for people who have trouble seeing or are blind?

Traditionally I always run screenshots and colors through colorblind check simulators, though I'm sure there's a lot more that I can do.
rich people are not a problem; if anything, they are more likely to finance this kind of project
Eh, sometimes it's nice to have a go-to workhorse that you can throw into almost anything.

The STM32F103C8 is a good example. If you buy a few dozen off of AliExpress or TaoBao, "blue pill" boards containing them and a microUSB connector cost less than $3 each.

They only run at 72MHz, and they don't have floating-point hardware, but the price point means that you can give them away without a second thought. When someone has an idea for a Halloween decoration, or a garden sensor, or a proof-of-concept, it's usually my first choice because it costs less than a coffee.

Once it stops getting rained on, and corroded, and coated in dust, and submerged, and fried by a squirrel who thought wires were edible...then you can reach for the top of the line.
Yes, he led the NSA, so he knows the right people to call/peddle influence on behalf of Amazon.
I’m very uninformed when it comes to async in Python so please bear with me.

Given a “web API type” python app, where about 30% of the APIs also reach out to other, external APIs, before responds to the incoming requests...

Is that _the_ classic example where async would provide a solid benefit?

Is that why Node has become so popular = it’s all json + non blocking API responses?
> who illegally spied on Americans

And this guy lied to Congress about it. And unlike plain folks who would have been prosecuted and jailed for this, he wasn't even indicted.
Starbucks aren't trying to "beat" specialty espresso places. They aren't even in competition with them really.

https://www.fastcompany.com/887990/starbucks-third-place-and...

"Starbucks goal is to become the Third Place in our daily lives. (i.e. Home, Work and Starbucks) “We want to provide all the comforts of your home and office. You can sit in a nice chair, talk on your phone, look out the window, surf the web… oh, and drink coffee too,” said Kelly. (Notice she put “drink coffee” last???)"

A friend of mine was high up in marketing at Starbucks in NY ~15-20 years ago, and her explanation to me back then was "What we supply to people is a comfortable and familiar place to sit and meet up with people. 'Coffee' is just the way we take money off people for that." This was an extremely valuable thing in NY specifically, where lots of even otherwise "wealthy" people lived in small and/or shared places - where inviting people into their homes socially or for small/contracting type business was way less attractive than meeting people at Starbucks, and a welcoming and familiar place to sit for an hour or two with your laptop or notepad is a really nice break from your tiny little NY apartment. "Better coffee" does not make that more valuable. Ubiquity and standardisation makes that more valuable. The coffee only needs to be "good enough" that people wont choose other, less familiar and potentially less welcoming feeling places to do an hour or two's work or meet up with people.
What kind of treatment is useful for gum infections?
Gum disease and infection can be very painful. It is essential to pay attention towards various gum problems on time so that there are less chances of infections. Poor health is one of the biggest cause of gum infections. Periodontal is a serious gum infection that damage the gums as well as the jawbones. So, proper hygiene and checkups are necessary. https://stoneybrook.dental/periodontal/

all the incentives of the companies listing, and existing holders, are aligned to long term

Are they? In what way?

The only difference from a normal exchange appears to be that companies are "required to publish a series of policies". Why wouldn't that incentivize saying "the right things" in those policies but then otherwise behaving exactly the same as companies listed on a normal exchange?

it sounds like voting power is tied to how long you've held

This is not actually a requirement for companies listed on the LTSE, but even if every company implemented it, in practice surely shareholder voting power has negligible influence on company management compared to share price incentives?
As a web dev this is very interesting and I try to think about accessibility when I develop. But I must say I am pretty bad at making labeled forms and alt texts for images.

I will try to improve on that, thanks author!
I'm curious re the issue of shorting and fixing about your thoughts with respect to liquidity being a good. The derivatives tend to be justified as market liquidity boosters. But if we are intentionally aiming to move out the time horizon of trades, is there then a way to distinguish those techniques as "unhealthy liquidity"?
This is such a ridiculously primitive view of the world it beggars belief. By taking this view you are significantly reducing your security posture, no improving it.

There is an AWS Region in Germany. Your data will stay in Germany unless you specifically decide to move it elsewhere.

AWS also provide you with the tools to encrypt everything and if done correctly means that Amazon no matter how "evil" they are cannot decrypt the data. Not only that, there is such a huge separation in access and rigour around governance that there is no way anyone within Amazon can simply login and see your data even if unencrypted.

Every single case of data being leaked from AWS is because the people working for the company that manage the data literally checked a box to make the contents public. Contrast this to "on-prem" where physical security can get compromised or the vendors of the physical hardware/software leave gaping holes or maintenance backdoors that get exploited.

Honestly these types of views are no more grounded in reality that flat earth conspiracy type views.
> The thing that confuses me is this is clearly done for the rioters but they're the ones with the ideology that generally results in this type of draconian citizen tracking.

If you think anti-authoritarianism is an exclusively right-wing value you're sorely mistaken. Even the term 'libertarian' was co-opted from lefties. You'll learn more if you approach confusing issues with curiosity rather than calling Portland "upside down world" because your biases conflict with reality.
And doing this is so simple. Just host your own gitlab server, and version all your company's IP on git. For chat we use Zulip, which we also self-host.

And honestly moving to these tools from slack, confluence, etc. has been awesome.

Zulip threading model is great. So much better than slack.

And using markdown and jupyter notebooks for documentation on gitlab? Damn awesome.
The thing is - it might never hit.

If the market has assumed the risk, the model of a tech stock might have fundamentally changed.
Why do you think that, though? If the beam is shaped so that it's almost all captured, and there are negligible atmospheric losses due to the frequency range chosen, why should there be high path losses?
Agree. I read them decades ago and while the first book is a masterpiece, the rest of the series is pretty bad.
You mean 14MB?
> See, anyone can come up with whacky stuff.

Any habitual stoner could tell you that. Once your blood THC levels are high enough, the secrets of the universe will unfold before you. And it's 100% certain, because I mean, you totally observed it, Man!
It sounds tinfoils hat crazy because it is.

No we do need to say that because is patently untrue.

Develop an internal barometer for a good book, instead of an external one.

Simple - if you enjoyed it, if it made you think, gave a different perspective, if you found something profound, if you keep returning to it, if it is a topic you are interested in.

Of course to develop this, one needs to read significant amount of books - even bad ones (and drop them once you find they are not good enough). But once developed, you can largely detect within a few pages whether a book is worth reading. Also appreciating a book depends on you state/age/mental framework at the time.

You augment this with human curation from places/forums you appreciate. Also original sources of books/authors you like is a good way to go down the rabbithole.
I think you’re really overestimating the ability of most small tech companies to self-host reliably and securely.
I think only Google can fix this. They need to more heavily penalize your page rank if your accessibility score is low. The 5 things the author lists are so simple. How much effort is it not to auto-play videos? Compare that to the effort web devs put into SEO tricks which the web devs aren't even sure works.
Incredible poet. This poem is so sad:

Mid-Term Break
BY SEAMUS HEANEY
I sat all morning in the college sick bay
Counting bells knelling classes to a close.
At two o'clock our neighbours drove me home.

In the porch I met my father crying—
He had always taken funerals in his stride—
And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow.

The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram
When I came in, and I was embarrassed
By old men standing up to shake my hand

And tell me they were 'sorry for my trouble'.
Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest,
Away at school, as my mother held my hand

In hers and coughed out angry tearless sighs.
At ten o'clock the ambulance arrived
With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses.

Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops
And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him
For the first time in six weeks. Paler now,

Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple,
He lay in the four-foot box as in his cot.
No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.

A four-foot box, a foot for every year.
Bless you, good sir.
likewise

perhaps more to learn from those
Slight misconception. You don't need a release for some narrow commercial purposes, like artwork, academic study, or selling to news/wire services. But if you want to use it for stock photography, marketing (i.e. local businesses, tourism boards), entertainment production, or to produce a likeness or design which you intend to own separately, then you would need a release.

Good test here is if you could reasonably make a civil claim against the person reusing/redistributing the cropped images of themselves for their own purposes after the fact without permission.
>Your data will stay in Germany unless you specifically decide to move it elsewhere.

Prove it
Part of the challenge is that most people won't like coffee's actual taste. Good coffee is best drank black. Once you start adding milk and sweetener the coffee taste itself goes to the background.

People do a similar thing with tea. In the US tea is mostly drank iced with a crap load of sugar.

So if you're trying to sell as much coffee as possible, you'll be serving it mostly with cream and tons of sweetener anyways so its pointless to worry so much about quality coffee. With volume you also have to worry about getting people in an out as quickly as possible. Most of the boutique coffee shops will be making single pour brews that take forever to make. You simply can't dedicate that much time per cup if you have a line of people inside and a drive thru to manage.
As a rule of thumb, make sure the site works with Lynx. If it does, then you probably won't need anything but minor adjustments.
That's why Apple is so afraid of sideloading. Because it threatens their business model.
>America won't arrest you on your vacation here just because you criticized the country on social media

Can you say for sure, that the phone will not be seized, imaged and/or bugged at the airport/border?

Anyways you are talking about differences in what they do with the data or the person to whom that data belongs and not contending the fact that tech companies from both the countries spy internationally.
That's an interesting idea, but in practice surely shareholder voting power has negligible influence on company management compared to share price incentives?
Do you use any db connection wrappers around asyncpg? Like encode/databases or gino?
Also important to note that SQLAlchemy 1.4 alpha with asyncpg support is realease and can be tried out(both SQLAlchemy core&orm modes support it).
I myself evaluated all options of async postgress connection wrappers in fastapi project but reverted to... just using sync psycopg2 through sqla core. No very specific gains of async db connection for my use cases and sqlalchemy creator's comments on immaturity of async postgres drivers made my stick to what's battletested.
Covid vaccine: 8k jumbo jets needed to deliver doses globally
Yeah. It's not quite the same as EV, but the idea is that living one year of your life 75% "fully" is like reducing your life expectancy by 3 months. If you have another 50 years to live, if the choice is between 75% fully and any less than a 1 in 200 chance of dying or having lasting complications, you take your chances. Where this gets awkward is the elderly because it takes away one of their five good years left, but the alternative is a 15% chance of dying.
You mean like PyCuda?
This looks really cool. I'd be curious to see a video demo of the file manager, directory, and command history UIs.
I'm not devops, but how hard is it to properly set up VPN / ssh ?

We have a gitlab server, and connecting requires being on VPN, which requires 2FA, and then ssh, which requires your keys to be properly set up.
Everything was done on premises with a colo to house some servers. We ran kubernetes and had some really smart ops engineers do our platform for us. I was always of the opinion that those super smart engineers (much better than I was) were wasted on reinventing the wheel when we could have used an IaaS and they could have helped us on improving the product
I like that voting idea a lot!
Give me one single example of Apple changing the T&Cs and then retroactively removing Apps that are in violation of the new T&Cs.

Every single time Apple removed an App from the App Store is because the new version was somehow in breach of the T&Cs.

You could say that the rules was applied unfairly to Hey but nonetheless the T&Cs were clear as day about off platform signup/payments because it protects consumer from sham companies.
