From what I read they weren't setup to host multiple apps and needed a somewhat large refactor to do that. The calendar on beta.protonmail.com is probably what will be released to production.

The only thing to smooth over, from my understanding, is the fact that they did a lot of refactoring to become multi-app.

Not really. People are forced to use many products of big companies and others which are largely responsible for this.

> "With the vaccine trial you are taking on an unknown risk which to me seems way worse."

There's a reason why clinical trials are done in phases. If you are one of the very first to receive a new medicine or vaccine, then yes, you are taking a risk - and are compensated accordingly.

By the time it gets to phase 3 trials, you already have a pretty good idea of the safety. One possible adverse event amongst 30,000 participants doesn't seem so bad to me. Certainly it's less than the risk of developing serious illness if you are infected with SARS-CoV-2.
This is already possible on Linux with certain filesystems (notably xfs and ext4), as long as the size of the data you want to prepend is an integer multiple of the filesystem block size.

Oh wow, you're right re: Twitter. You still can't to Instagram feed, though (but you can to Instagram stories, and you can to feed when only selecting one image). So to make a gallery post, you have to do it from within Instagram, which uses device folders.
Perhaps, but as you said, do it with great care.

So many people, many of them younger, do not seem to realize there isn't an objective arbiter of what is right and wrong -- there's only politics -- and you aren't going to be rewarded for being right. And most people of higher level don't really give enough of a damn about your petty code problems (oh no, he likes inhertiance and I read something that asserts composition is better) to stick their neck out for you.
I just want to say, thanks for your posts in here. You're making excellent points. I don't even need to respond to this guy's comment personally because you've handled it so well here.

Having kids is a personal choice. Getting cancer isn't. What are you on about?!
This is still very low level, the whole article (although very comprehensive) missed the simple definition which it should have mentioned first. Going into jargons only add to complications. Look it up in a dictionary first for English definition and then try to understand how it has been applied in different domains.

1 : a form or shape that is folded in curved or tortuous windings
e.g the convolutions of the intestines

2 : one of the irregular ridges on the surface of the brain and especially of the cerebrum of higher mammals

3 : a complication or intricacy of form, design, or structure
… societies in which the convolutions of power and the caprices of the powerful are ever-present dangers to survival.

After this is clear read the mathematical idea on wikipedia. After reading that, do google scholar search on the AI papers that first mentioned it. That is the way to go.
This just feels like a clickbait non-story to me. The media nowadays seems primarily concerned with sewing divisiveness to take advantage of people's fear and attract eyeballs and outrage.
It appears to be a discrete Fourier, no? Does it apply to all convolutions or just a specific instance or subset? As in id there a proof showing that as sample size N goes to a limit it approaches a continuous limit? I still natively think in continuous convolutions from Physics. The whole discretization of these operators is oddly harder for me despite it technically being simpler to compute.
Skip AWX entirely and just use Jenkins. As insane as this sounds, I've personally done Jenkins => AWX => Jenkins twice. A good shared library can entirely replace AWX and the level of authn/authz plugins with Jenkins blows away any granularity with AWX.
According to the NY times, the adverse reaction was transverse myelitis

> The individual also said that a volunteer in the U.K. trial had been found to have transverse myelitis, an inflammatory syndrome that affects the spinal cord and is often sparked by viral infections.

More at:

At least for the details of the adverse reaction, it's not unusual for it take 1-2 weeks to collect all the details and form a complete picture. No sense in rushing out initial details, only to have the conclusion change a week from now.

Don't forget that the drug companies sponsor the studies, they don't actually run them. They are typically run by academic centers supported by third party vendors who handle the data collection, etc.

Someone will likely need to go back and look at the patient's clinical data to see if anything was amiss before this event. Then you'd need to collect a bunch of data to make a determination of the cause - was it the vaccine? was it some unrelated medical condition? a combination of the two?
I don't think there's really a problem with a couple 100ms of latency for web services. However, what often happens, is that "modern" websites take many seconds to actually do simple operations which is clearly horrible design.
I don't believe anyone is downvoting you for the "work till 11pm" part. They're most likely picking up on these comments of your post:

> a person who chose to have children ends up being able to be excused from work to take care of children, ... a person [with] no children is not as easily excused to do what they want to do

On this point, taking care of your children is not always something you want to do. It's a never ending, unrewarding responsibility that is often met with fighting the party you're trying to help in order to make sure they don't die. "Eat this so you don't starve", "Don't eat this so you won't get poisoned", "Don't crawl into the oven to hide".

Which leads into...

> We need to be prioritizing peoples' personal time and respecting however they choose to use it. Regardless whether someone chooses to spend their personal time raising kids or raising orphans in an orphanage or rescuing animals or reading books or hiking the wilderness or community service or being social and sleeping and watching movies, all of these things are good for their own mental health, and we need to not discriminate between these choices in giving people their personal time.

I'm not sure what you mean by raising orphans in an orphanage, but if you mean volunteering to feed and do day care for children at an orphanage, then that again is a choice not comparable with the obligation of being a parent. There's a certain social pressure that you can not just give your baby to somebody else when you get tired of it as you would a pet. Parenting is definitely not something people do for fun for their mental health. And it's not something everybody signs up for. Yes, the actions that created that child may have had known outcomes, but it's also very hard (and very easy) to get pregnant.

> It's when people are working till 11pm and someone says "I need to leave at 6 to make food for my kids" that the resentment happens. If everyone got off at 6, there wouldn't be any resentment.

The ire should be directed at those you feel pressured by to stay until 11, such as managers. Not those who have to take care of another life. Just as "people choose to have children", people also choose to have whatever job says they must work till 11. It's just that there is much, much less pressure to leave a job than to leave your children. The 2 are really not comparable.

Overly picky nit, Net 30 terms means you have 30 days after being invoiced to pay, it does not mean you get a bill every 30 days. If you order 10 different things on 10 different days, those invoices will be due on 10 different days.

It's entirely up to the company offering credit to determine what kind of due diligence they want to perform before giving another company terms.

Yes and no. The 8086 had a HLT instruction that was meant to replace the busy loop waiting for an interrupt. It was soon understood that you could also save power by turning off the clock. I'm not sure if the "SL" versions of the 486 turned off the clock with the HLT instruction, but later versions did. Use of it was apparently introduced in MS-DOS 6.0, so FreeDOS, Windows 95 and OS/2 2.1(?) would have probably used the instruction to effectively idle the processor. Not sure if Windows 3.1 made use of it, but it would make sense as the basis of the system's event loop.

How to better ventilate your home
It is about time companies stop rewarding employees for time spent doing work, as opposed to results of the deliverables.

In SV there is a myth that employees that are young and single are somehow more productive. That might be in a cruel sense true for the founders, as you most likely have no obligations outside of your company and generally feel like spending 24 hours devoted to it, but for an employee, this notion is utterly false.

Plenty of married/parents spend unhealthy amount of time on their work, and plenty of single employees spend way too much time talking and playing games in the office, all to appear as if they are putting in the long hours.

Meanwhile, although parents certainly have a lot less "free time," you also learn to be very efficient with it. Talk less, do more, be more strategic, ..etc.

There is no one size fits all, and it's just lazy to say that one group is more productive than the other solely based on the factor of hours theoretically available to do work.
No, I meant a text mode browser that does not use HTML. Lynx, and all the existing text mode browsers are intended to render HTML as text.

This would be a browser that targets only text mode user interfaces. So pages would need to be written specifically to be rendered in such an environment.

Why? Because text mode browsers are really trying to do the impossible - to render modern web pages as text is essentially not doable in all cases. Instead make a browser for the text mode use case specifically designed for the medium.

A mashup of a web browser and ANSI/VT100/teletext. It would need a sandbox and a JavaScript interpreter.

Maybe call it the "Trowser".

Single dad to a 4 and 7 year old, so I feel you man. In addition to the things you mentioned, the extra messes to clean, dishes to do, trash to take out, cooking, etc. can become really overwhelming.

Between trying to juggle it all, not only feel like I’m letting down my work, but my kids as well. They don’t understand why I can’t spend as much time with them while I’m working, nor is it their fault that I’m so much more tired during the times when I would have spent time with them previously.

You aren’t alone man and we’re all doing the best we can with a really tough situation. Try to be as kind to yourself as possible during all this and don’t be afraid to ask find solutions that ease some of the burden.
It is always funny thinking that outside of the US a lot of places are able to cautiously resume normal life while here we’re all either terrified or pretending nothing is wrong.

The DMCA has been held to apply to physical hardware in the past. Until 2015 it was ambiguous whether you even had a right to hack your own motor vehicle if encryption was used to secure its firmware, since that would normally be a violation. We didn't get the right to have third parties (i.e. repair shops, professionals) do it until 2018. https://hackaday.com/2018/10/26/dmca-review-big-win-for-righ...

Tesla could probably try to argue that the DMCA applies to parts of their firmware, since as far as I'm aware it still holds for some parts of other vehicles.

I agree with your larger point, but your cancer comparison is absolutely ridiculous. Especially in a paragraph claiming others lack empathy. The vast majority of white-collar parents not only chose to have children, they actively planned to.

Nobody plans to have cancer.

So my understanding of epigenetic changes generally is that they're changes in gene expression that last beyond a single cell generation, and sometimes beyond a single organism generation.

When people talk about "Epigenetic Memories," they're using a bit of a romantic term for changes in gene expression that last beyond a single generation - for instance, a mother experiences a drought or famine that causes changes that can be detected in her offspring.
I don’t have numbers for it but I am sure the size of the web pages have increased by many multiples over the years and only getting worse. There aren’t any simple pages anymore, every page includes a bunch of JavaScript libraries embedded, tons of ad network code, tons of performance and tracking code, lots of images replaced text. I am not even talking about web assembly, web sockets and client side rendering etc.

People Systematically Undervalue Their Time – Keith Rabois [video]
Someone has to pay for the goods though, so you take on the credit risk ie if the person doesn't pay, you need to pay on their behalf. As you are doing it at 0% you will not be making money therefore you every failed repayment costs you money so you lose money hand over fist. Especially when the scammers find out about it. You need a better business plan or you need a silicon valley VC who has no objections to losing money to gain ephemeral market share.
Weirdly written article. It seemed to start in the US and then sidle off east to the UK.

It kicks off like this:

"It has hit the headlines after thousands of Americans received unsolicited packets of seeds in the mail, but it is not new."

... and then seems to give our American friends advice that is completely useless to them:

Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) is a UK setup. Which? is a UK magazine with an attendant "Campaign group". Prof "cyber-security expert at Surrey University" works near London.

This looks like a rather lazy "pally" article. That's a term I've just invented to describe a filler piece that will probably work OK in the UK and US if you don't look too closely. You describe a situation in one country and then fill in with vague waffle that looks reasonable to other similarish jurisdictions.

This sort of nonsense is happening more and more often. Lazy journalism.
> In actuality it usually works in reverse: Red Hat (now IBM), which has the most dominate presence on the committee, convinces POSIX to add or modify something, and then everybody else adopts it. Examples: asprintf, fmemopen, stpcpy, vdprintf.

I'm not convinced your timeframe is right. stpcpy was added to FreeBSD in 2001, didn't officially become part of POSIX until 2008. Red Hat didn't invent stpcpy either; it was invented on the Amiga in the 1980s, and the GNU project adopted it from there and then Linux acquired it from the GNU project. I think if we studied the history of the other functions you mention, we'd also find that their formal addition to POSIX wasn't the primary cause of their spread, just a formal recognition of an existing de facto reality.
I'm not sure that's a fair presumption. Neustar was spun as a separate entity out of Lockheed many years ago, as a neutral body to do number porting mainly. It was a government contract, but not a military one AFAIK.

Yeah, the way you're 'supposed' (as near as I can tell) to do this is:

read 'foo'
write 'foo~'
hardlink 'foo~' onto 'foo'
unlink 'foo~'
on crash:
if 'foo' exists:
it's the correct state for the file
unlink 'foo~'
continue
otherwise:
hardlink 'foo~' onto 'foo'
unlink 'foo~'

I'm not sure Posix actually requires link and unlink to be atomic enough on crash for this work, but it seems to be fine for any sane filesystem (where the fs itself doesn't fall apart in presence of crashes).
But nobody's DNA is being modified with these vaccines.

I'm single and been in my aforementioned large apartment with much larger terrace, I also have seen the bad relationships mostly shake out while the good relationships thrive. I don't have a way to quantify either, I just recall there was a shock at how many domestic disputes and abused children there were, along with how many passive aggressive things must be happening to anyone else cohabiting.

I mostly just had to re-evaluate what level of exposure I was comfortable with. I was doing full complete reclusion for over two months and it was getting to me.

In the urban environment a few months in, enough people actually were receptive to in person dates because half of the population already went back to their at-risk parents and the other half wasn't going to, so our risk profile had some discretion. With enough information about the disease, after ensuring I wasn't an early adopter, my distancing technique expanded to just making sure my personal R0 is less than 1, as opposed to being actually worried I got it. So that just meant two weeks between encounters, routine tests, and select small groups of people.

I've since had great flings, and the biggest surprise was how many people I was able to get to come back to the city. People I didn't hit it off with before were going stir crazy at their parent's house or in whatever rural area they had retreated to. I have a good cadence now and with completely new dates I just ask them what their current distancing policy is.

But around early May it was definitely unsatisfactory. An absurd level of loneliness, and jealousy towards fulfilling relationships and thinking about the improbable poor luck to get here: I was involved with half a dozen women before lockdown, 2 left the city immediately, 2 got covid, 1's roommate got covid and sheltered in an area I couldn't reach while getting spooked, and 1 went full on recluse like me. Its been a wild ride on the dating scene since May for me, and it just requires a different level of discretion, testing, periods of not interacting with other people which is actually super easy for an ambivert leaning towards introvert like me. (interacting with other people definitely drains me, instead of adds energy to me)

Just adding some color to "the grass is greener", as well as what a sometimes-extroverted bachelors actually wants.

The ASCII art that these folks did to set up their chapter headings was beautiful. I remember seeing them making huge block lettering, scenery, and even characters drawn in ASCII art just to give an intro to like a GameBoy game walkthrough. The love and effort poured into these showed
