This is only practical in hospitals and simular healthcare facilities, where they need lots of masks and have trained staff and sterilizing equipment.

Also, you don't usually find N95 masks littering the streets. These are usually just surgical or cloth masks, and they are not really worth reusing.
Looks like it's finally time to grab all those games I held off on grabbing because my backlog was already extraordinary, lest I have to find them in a couple years on eBay at wildly inflated prices.

The current generation of legislators clearly overexert themselves. They try to achieve something, fail and then try even harder next time. That is not restricted to the UK.

In Germany we already got our internet corp Ermächtigungsgesetz. All with good intentions of course... Gladly it had little effect outside of German platforms, which are pretty much non-existent.
It's worth installing the CLI just for a single command:

`gh pr create --web`

Saves me having to push my current branch, navigate to the repo page, hit the "create PR" button, etc.

A lot of alarms can be configured to have barriers that prevent you from easily turning them off. The idea is it forces you to mentally engage and wake up a bit.

It might be the lock screen, simple or difficult math problems, visual puzzles, etc. Until you solve it, it won’t turn off the alarm.

It’s a neat idea until this happens, I guess.

The DOJ should pursue both companies if they think they are illegal monopolies. They don't need to do things serially. There may be a non-obvious reason that Sinclair isn't (visibly) being pursued.
Google is highly tuned for the user. More so if you are actually logged in without account, so what you are seeing has almost no incidence on what kind of results other people are seeing.

If it works for you, more power to you. Otherwise assuming 65 millions of people use anything by ideology is a huge ask. For some Google's results didn't just cut it, and they had to try something else.
Snowflake advertises itself as a pay as you go complete data warehouse with a simple interface, primarily SQL. It can installed on Azure or AWS etc. It is self-tuning; no database admin required. It has built in COPY commands to ingest parquet files and Tasks and Streams to perform scheduled data transformation. That is it has all the tools needed to perform data warehousing out of the box.
I feel like this isn't really a question you're asking so much as an attempt to suggest that it isn't easy or possible.

It totally is, and I know it is, because I maintain a parallel working environment on a Dell XPS 15 for a bunch of complicated reasons. All my data is there, too.

I hate that environment, so I don't work there often, but I could if I had to (such as a couple years ago, when my battery failed in my previous Macbook and had to go in for repair -- it was trivial to do my job from the (previous) Dell for a few days).

This is possible because I do the things I outlined above. I use exclusively x-platform tools, like Office, when I use something with an obscure file format. My notes and management tools are exclusively in Orgmode in emacs. Etc.

Also: *your, not you're.

There's actually quite a large community of 3DS hackers: https://old.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/

I was able to hack mine(though I don't use it much anyway) fairly easily. My brother did it to his so he could dump DS carts onto the SD card for better portability.

What is the value of a life-saving commodity? How much would you pay for 2-year mask features in March 2020?
I've done a few fixed price jobs but only where the scope was very narrow and well defined and I had done something very similar before.

In general though my experience is most customers won't know what they want until you put something in front of them.

I've also found that the more they push you for a fixed price the more likely they will be causing problems down the road.
Depends on how well-designed the app is. GitUp has been my go-to for years, after trying almost every other app out there. It offers a bunch of powerful features exposed mostly through right-click menus and single-button shortcuts. The only reason I ever go to the command line (and I used to be a religious command-line-only Git guy) is because GitUp freezes on extremely large diffs, which one of my projects has a lot of.
What Is the Language Server Protocol?
On Linux I like using gitg. I think it is "good" in the sence that for the tasks it can do (mostly viewing history) the UI is well though out and simple to use. However, it can't do more advanced tasks so it might not be what you are asking for.
Same, I go months at a time forgetting I'm not using Google at all. The few times I've compared results I didn't notice an improvement.
There's no "worth it" outside of not existing. The "person" that was there before is not there now, otherwise it would be suicide.
Thank you for your detailed message. I haven't understood everything you wrote but it seems that basically all that complexity comes from supporting hot code reloading.

Given that a lot of (most?) Elixir devs don't use hot reloading, having a less powerful but simpler deployment alternative seems like a good idea.
I don't understand the needs for !bang's, I've had bookmark keywords in Firefox a decade. I simply type "a something" in the URL bar and it looks up "something" on Amazon etc. yt/d/g/t/w for youtube/duckduckgo/google/twitter/wikipedia etc. What do DDG's bangs offer over this.
For the record, I actually run a CNC and a laser professionally and whilst I'm not intimately familiar with Blender, I know how other 'non-specific' software can be modified and/or used as a starting point for creating project files.

It might not perhaps suffice for the creation of a building or a jetplane, but for hobbyist use, I don't see why not.

For instance - I use Adobe Illustrator as a 2D 'CAD' program, purely because I find it MUCH quicker to work with than the likes of AutoCAD (which I gave up on years ago).

I just found Fusion360 incredibly slow. Perhaps things have changed since, but I last looked at it about 8 months ago.
There are nefarious reasons. But drivers like Razer/Nvidia also sync your individual game/device settings to the cloud so that if you have multiple computers or reinstall the OS you don't have to set everything up again. It should definitely be optional though.
In a similar vein, instead of digressing into music, Apollo Neuro and others have recently popped up with wearables that claim to affect mood/focus/etc. by generating rhythmic tactile pulses. Still skeptical, but it doesn't seem as completely snake-oily as a lot of other stuff out there either.
> Could pre-existing immunity be more protective than future vaccines? Without studying the question, we won’t know.

TLDR!
Not PP, but my parents have been using Kubuntu LTS exclusively since 2009 and I'm thinking about moving them to Debian stable + KDE within the next three years.

They aren't wandering much, though, so as long as the OS doesn't get in their way, they are happy.
> Originally bikes were expected to ride on sidewalks.

Depends a bit by what you mean by "originally". In the early 1900s, bikes traveled in the street. Pedestrians traveled in the street. Everybody was in the street. The idea that the streets are the sole province of the car, and that pedestrians/bikers may cross the street only where it does not inconvenience the car, is the result of marketing to avoid cars being liable for pedestrian injury/death.

So, same story of cars being overly prominent, but stepping back another 50 years.
Ok?

I mean, that puts you at precisely the disadvantage your outlined, but if you don't trust your employer than that's where you are.

I don't have any "work software" on my phone, but I can still see my work email there.

> Cracked games websites are as obscure as The Pirate Bay, i.e. not very. Plus everyone who downloads a pirated game points his/her friends to the site, or directly shares the downloaded files. Even if you weren't aware of where to get warez, your friends will be.

you might be surprised at how obscure torrents have become outside of tech circles. when I graduated college (2017), basically no one outside of the comp sci department understood how to use torrents (or even knew what they were). this would have been unthinkable when I was in high school. everyone and their mother seemed to be torrenting music and movies.

I even tried explaining how to use them to people, but they would object that the school would catch them anyway. when I explained how VPNs work, they complained that $6/month was too expensive for a poor college student. nevermind that they're already paying for prime, netflix, and hulu subscriptions every month.

I think there are two main reasons for this. a lot of people have laptops with the base storage option, often a 256GB or even 128GB ssd. phones have even less storage. this makes it unappealing to keep a local library of music and especially movies (plus now that everyone has a phone and a laptop, syncing your collection becomes annoying). second, I think video and especially music streaming services have actually succeeded in making their products just convenient enough that people don't feel like figuring out how to use torrent trackers and clients.
Hopefully Nintendo releases the SDK? It's been a decently active platform for indie titles and homebrew games. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the 3DS is covered by the same NDA as the Switch in terms of toolchain/docs/etc. I believe you can find those after signing up for a developer account at https://developer.nintendo.com/
The government should have stepped in. We probably don't even need more N95. We could have a different kind of mask that is highly effective and made for comfort with kids and adult sizes. The government could have ordered and distributed these at cost. Then a national mask mandate is trivial. We could have greatly cut the spread and job losses. Instead they did basically nothing and said it would go away in a week or two.
I am a passionate OpenSCAD user and prefer it for many things, but there are several reasons I tend to work in FreeCAD sometimes, and recommend it to people:

- Way more functionality
- STEP support
- Constraint solver

Also it's much more point-and-clicky, in the same way Fusion is, so it's much less confusing for a Fusion user to transition to FreeCAD rather than OpenSCAD. That said, OpenSCAD is phenomenally powerful, it just requires you to think in a particular way. I happen to enjoy thinking that way and most of what I make ends up being OpenSCAD. I mostly use OpenSCAD to design parts, and FreeCAD to design assemblies and integrate parts into existing things.

If you're looking for an intermediate thing, check out cadquery, which uses the same geometry engine as FreeCAD but has a very OpenSCAD-like feel and language to it.
Because you don't know the alternative. There are worse things out there than bad opinions on the internet.

Which disinformation are you talking about btw?
Same here! God forbid I watch a video by someone who's ever been in front of a camera with those two guys, I'm immediately pushed into a rain of suggestions.

Try watching a comedian that's slightly edgy like bill Burr, you get immediately showered in videos of people "showing feminists what's what" or "shutting up liberals". I'm not even American, not right wing, but YouTube seems to try its hardest anyway.
I'm sorry, but the crowd has run out of money. Try the people that print and take it.

It's Archive.org being provided URL telemetry for archiving public sites they have not yet found through traditional means (crawling or users submitting requests through the Wayback Save page) by a Cloudflare product.

The next step would be for Cloudflare to point to Archive.org Wayback links when an origin isn't available (similar to browser extensions that point to Archive.org when sites 404 or are down, but in Cloudflare's core).

Cool stuff. Thanks Cloudflare folks.
Among the people that are not using this disease as an excuse for a power grab or ego boost this should come as nothing but good news.
No mention of the Defense Production Act [1], which was talked about more during the early days of this.

With the right declaration, the feds can make any American company manufacture anything. Why haven't they used it for N95's?

I'd argue that the proliferation of 'pre-publish' papers and the fact that anyone with a blog can push disinformation confirming anyone's point of view has made it less likely that people will disconfirm their beliefs.

I can't tell you how many people I've found who are still convinced hydroxycloroquine cures Covid-19.
Marvel tends to use hyphens or spaces (Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Iron Man) while DC usually does compound words (Superman, Batman, Aquaman, although Wonder Woman). I could find no compound wordman superheroes in the lists of Marvel superheroes I found, but there are some -man and (space)man characters in the DC list.

I wonder if this makes sense, given Substack's model. Other leaderboard-style projects, like Top Pub, make a degree of sense because of the nature of their community. Medium publications, for example, rely on contributors and, often times, sponsors/advertisers. Both these groups are incentivized to work with the most popular publications, and so publications are incentivized to publicize their stats on leaderboards. With Substack, monetization is built in to the platform, and a given newsletter typically has a single author (i.e. no need to attract armies of contributors).

I'm not sure what incentive a publisher has to work with a leaderboard in this scenario—but I'd love to hear what it might be, as I'm by no means an expert on the Substack ecosystem.

Michael Levitt has been saying this since the Diamond Princess event.

Scratch that - he hasn't been maintaining there's pre-existing immunity, rather asking the question to anyone who'd listen...he doesn't have a background in biology, but that's one of the few conclusions he could surmise from studying the data.
Honestly the doc make it pretty unclear.

Some commands seem to be purely github related, which make sense, some others seem to overlap with just plain git.

> Clone the repository you want to work with using gh repo clone owner/repo

Like, what does this do apart from a regular git clone? Why is this necessary? I guess it additionally stores some meta information so that other "gh" commands know which repo they are on. This should have been a separate command IMHO to leave the regular git clone alone. Something like "git clone ssh://github.com/foo/bar" followed by "gh init foo/bar".

> When you’ve finished adding that feature or fixing that bug, use gh pr create

Same goes here. Why overlaying git commands? I would have expected to just push my branch, and then call something like "gh pr create <my branch> <target branch>"

> And your teammate can check out your pull request using gh pr checkout 1337

Same remark again and again, what does that do apart from checking out a branch? Why the overlay?

> view the diff with gh pr diff

So what's wrong with "git diff <target>..<source>"

> gh pr merge

Come on.. "git co <target> ; git merge <source>" needs to be overplayed?

> gh release create [tag name]

Oh sure, let's overlay git flow as well.

I mean overall the tool looks cute and all, but magic overlays is a no no for me.
I hate Amazon kindle’s business model options and ethics - can share how they nudge a creator to choose the 35% royalty (using detailed docs instead of being explicitly) at every screen when you have explicitly indicated your would like 70%. Happy to create a Post if there is interest. Don’t see a viable player who gives the same reach though. I am interested in the responses

There's a subset of rugged crypto individualists that don't want intervention at any cost - usually the ones that started using cryptocurrencies before the "investment" hype.
Tbh, the EU can only do so much: there are plenty of press releases, press conferences, and social media posts about their legislative proposals. However, the gatekeepers of information are different actors: Mostly the media or whoever you follow on social media. And, not without reason, such a technical debate hasn't really engaged interest in the general public. If you are actually interested in the topic or in EU law, you will likely heard about it because the gatekeepers in that field believed it might interest you
I work at Insomniac, and can confirm that the "architectural copyright" laws are indeed a limiting factor on getting specific landmark buildings into the game.

Further, the agreements we signed to license buildings for the first game do not necessarily hold true for sequels, so getting all of the cool buildings in New York City into the game is always, always going to be a hurdle, popularity of the first game be damned.
Compare "java jdk 15 what's new" search. DDG shows the same first result like Google, however next ones are not good:

2. What's New In JDK 14 Latest Release? 80 New Features ... - I was not asking for JDK 14

3. What's new in Java 15? | Learn To Code Together - sort of ok

4. JDK14: Java 14 Features - What's New in Java 14 - wrong JDK version again

5. whats new in Java 9 | Java 9 features | corejavaguru - getting even worst

6., 7. some links to Java 12 and 13

8. What's new in Spring Boot 2.3 (Java 14, OCI images, etc ... - totally unrelated stuff.

From that point results are utter crap, duplicated multiple times.

Google at least provides links to JDK 15 official java.net page and to release notes, plus it gets the version right - no links for other Java versions.

As much as I would like DDG to be successful, it is not yet there.
Watson and Crick did not get the noble prize for discovering the chemical nature of DNA, nor for being the first to suggest it might be the material of heredity, nor for identifying it as a double helix...

They got it for showing how DNA arranged as an anti-parallel two stranded base-paired helix could be copied from generation to generation, thus showing how it could be the material of heredity. Their original paper contains just one drawing of such a helix, and no experimental data.
I'm sorry, but it's way too difficult for me to take this seriously. We are in the midst of a global pandemic and countless people, even software engineers, have experienced permanent job loss. All those people working barely above minimum wage who serve you and your friends lunch every day? No more jobs. The businesses they're working for have either already gone under or they're close to doing that.

It's okay to not be okay, especially during these times. But if your reason is that you're feeling FOMO over not going from very well-paid to even more well-paid in the middle of a global health and economic crisis, then, well, I dunno. You live in a bubble dude.
We promised our supplier that we would buy 30,000 ventilators. I don't know what the actual contract said but if I started ramping production in consideration of a $650 million order and my client canceled the order I would certainly try to recover some damages from them.
Your experience with our world being '2 dimensional' and entities observing you existing in a higher dimensional universe - almost as if they're reading (or writing) a two dimensional picture book, we inhabit - gells extremely with one of my salvia experiences.

I want to teach my daughters the principles of CAD, just as they've learned the principles of auto repair, Python, camping, and a host of other things. How am I going to run Solidworks on our Ubuntu home computers? How many hundreds of dollars does it cost?

I was looking to Autodesk Fusion 360 and even opened a team for our family recently. I decided on that after looking at FreeCAD, Solvespace, OpenSCAD, LibreCAD, and a few others, each of which had a fundamental dealbreaker. Perhaps it will have to be FreeCAD after all.
They aren't punishing, they are monetizing. Switching to another commercial product would just be repeating the mistake on your part.

There are no (i.e. zero) for-profit companies that aren't trying to sell you something at some point. The reason companies do these multi-year 'free' services is to eliminate as much of the competition as possible and/or build a brand. If you want something that will stay free, you really should be looking at Open Source/Free software and either be prepared to roll up your sleeves and periodically help out or donate money to fund ongoing development/support.
That is not why we have government.

In this case, government is actually preventing capitalism from being tried. But you see that as capitalism has failed and only government can save us.

I was surprised to learn that architecture was covered by copyright. I hadn't really looked at copyright law in depth since the 80s other than some organization around trying to get IP protection for type design in the 90s which never got anywhere. I remembered reading that architectural plans were specifically excluded from copyright protection but apparently in 1990 this changed. (Note that all of this applies specifically to US copyright law.)
