I'd be more than worried if the CDC was operating on just one brain. I'm confused about the uproar(should've known we have prop owners here), when the virus landed here, we all expected some Hollwood treatment from the CDC, having everything in working order, taking charge/leadership. Well these guys wake up with a deicision, now let's bash them because we are NOT being allowed to evict possible disease carriers/spreaders onto rest of society.

The CDC is OUR Center for Disease control, what does that mean to you? Shouldn't we listen to the guys specialising in disease control while trying to control the disease from spreading?

but it wouldn't produce as much pleasure as eating meat every day. I dont think depending on people to be altruistic (and give up what pleasure they can get) is a good way forward.
And this isn't about needing permission. Obviously they can't stop anyone. But they can make sure they're not directly working with someone that could lead to a conflict of interest.

What's the benefit of Liquibase over Flyway? I've been using Flyway and find it pretty nice. I enjoy being able to write migration as properly named sql scripts and not dealing with XML.
Yes and no. There are lines that can be crossed and defending a line-crosser is political.

This isn’t really a new line of thinking for Zuck, he has had to defend boards stacked with far more right members than typical in the valley for a long time. Peter Theil comes to mind along with their news chief from Bribart.
I agree. I fiddled with some alsa settings to get stuff going with 18.04, then 19.10 and now on 20.04 LTS (where microphone should be working), these changes break stuff.
Would not be easier to produce synthetic kerosene fuel from captured CO2 and hydrogen.

The process is straightforward:

1. A lot of cheap solar energy, from the best location.

2. Electrolyse to produce hydrogen.

3. Capture CO2. Either from air or from carbon intensive processes (e.g. producing cement).

4. Use Sabatier reaction to bond CO2 and hydrogen to produce carbohydrate fuel.

5. Since we use same amount of CO2 to produce as there will be burn this carbon neutral fuel.

It's much easier to do it at scale, than redesign, get approved new planes, replace all existing fleets and the infrastructure. This could easily take 60-120 years, when we need to act much sooner to prevent worst consequences of global warming.

Of course, today this would not work as individual steps are too expensive. Though all of the steps could be much cheaper as solar energy panel shows.

It gives possibility for oil rich countries to transform to post carbon economy when they resources will be depleted and consumers would prefer carbon neutral fuels.

I guess all of this sovereign funds would be much better of investing in this tech than pouring money in SoftBank to do WeWork style opportunities.

Google crowd oil or solar kerosene for papers about it.
* Skype sucked. Voice call audio quality was unreliable, managing lots of disparate groups sucked, if you had some random join your raid group (its initial market was FFXIV raiders as the initial team had previously worked on FFXIV utilities with guildwork) for the night you didn't really want to add them to your group chat for a voice call, it leaked information that was actively used to DoS people.

* It's users were consequently having to use multiple platforms, with teamspeak or vent or mumble for voice chat and Skype or Facebook for persistent text chat. This was inconvenient adding everyone twice.

* It's hard to explain how much it helped for the "bringing a random into your gaming group" scenario. You could just drop a link into the games text chat and people could join for the night and you didn't have to worry about if they had teamspeak or mumble or whatever installed.

* Teamspeak's free tier had a limit of like 10 users known to the server. Discord did not.

* Slack wasn't a competitor for Discord's initial market. Having to sign up for each instance was a deal-breaker. Discord originally allowed guest accounts, and I think it still does. Also the overhead to creating/managing a new server and adding people is really low comparatively.

* Discord doesn't really compete with Twitch much? People stream to their friends sure, and I have known people who had unlisted twitch channels for like jackbox in the past but that's a relatively late addition, and twitch is much more interested in the big streamers than the long tail anyway.

Obviously discord have significantly expanded their market a few times from FFXIV raiders to all mmo players to all gamers to everyone, but they started with clear problems to fix and fixed them well
How does liquibase compare to flyway?
TikTok: Even a Temporary Ban Could Make 90% of Users Quit the App
Maybe is possible and it would be very useful.

I know nothing about micro-architectural implementations, but as far as I can remember, all instructions that can trap (load/stores, divs, etc) take more than one clock cycle. Simple sub/adds usually have 1 cycle latency; there just might not be enough latency budget to fit the trapping machinery.

I guess that the trapping doesn't actually need happen in the critical path (i.e. the results might be available earlier) but this would mean that even ALU instructions cause speculation.
Do you have a link to a news coverage of this?

The story and mutilations look very similar to the epidemic of chupacabras attacks that we had in Argentina in 2002. It was covered for a month by all the major newspaper and TV stations.

Looks like a solid basic implementation, along the same lines as Django migrations or Alembic in the Python world.

I always find these tools a bit lacking though. Over the long term, things that I find mattering are:

- Correctness of changes being made

- Support in getting to Zero-downtime migrations

- Support in CI around testing against the right schemas

- Squashing changes/garbage collecting after a given point

- Support for applying the same change to multiple production environments (where you can't rollback one because another failed).

These are all hard problems! Some are quite specific to certain kinds of application too. But companies always seem to end up building custom tooling for this sort of stuff. I'm sure there's a place for a tool that gets the right balance between support for these complex use-cases and defining a way of working.
This seems like kind of a strange telling of history. Were extensions ever abolished in OS 9? Mac OS X was an open platform for its first 10 years. It only started to get locked down in 2011 and 2012 with the Mac App Store and Gatekeeper.
Yes, I know. The question proposed is whether California has enough influence to change that. Historically, it took about ~15 years for the rest of the country to fall in line with CA. I’m not suggesting they’ll adopt those standards now, but in 2050, maybe so.

There's a little voice in our heads that says we can't let the other person win. If you want to, you can ask it questions. Like, win at what? What's the prize? What is it worth? And not always, but sometimes, the answer is there nothing at stake and you should pick your battles.

Some nice insights! I learned motorcycling on sand (and through rivers!) while crossing Mongolia, west-to-east. Key takeaways:

- always keep a positive torque on the rear wheel and let the front wheel find its way

- don't get scared, the front wheel is supposed to skid a little and the rear wheel is supposed to slip a little

I do not understand how something without any direct evidence whatsoever became lodged in the paradigm of science. Dark matter is not necessary to explain galactic rotation curves.[1] The original observation that spawned the idea of dark matter was of a galaxy's rotation in isolation. But galaxies are not gravitationally isolated. I am unsure about the other stuffed lumped in that dark matter is supposed to explain. But the problem of galactic rotation curves has been elegantly solved without the need for dark matter.

The cancel culture surely goes both ways here - Eich was working actively to cancel the marriages of certain people he didn't like. So people cancelled the browser in retaliation and he had to quit his job (or was forced out, who knows).

Most people would probably think it is worse to get their marriage annulled than to lose a job, but YMMV.
The fact that there is a displaced goal here, is not a good signal.

When I hear about methane problem caused by cattle I see always people blaming cows. I'm just wondering... If cows are the problem, why they are doing research in sheep?

Is a different animal, with a different gut arrangement, producing a totally different dry faeces that are much less troublesome as cow faeces are.

I'm not expert in methane releasing, but if the results are than 'sheep release less methane than cows', or that 'small sheep release less methane than big sheep'... well; suddenly I does not feel so much revolutionary as before.

How many years were they trying unsuccessfully to sell this concept?
Liquibase is great, been using it for about 6 years in production.

Liquibase also allow you to run java based change sets not only XML or YAML which is very good for more complex migration logic but you have to be careful not to use your DAOs or some service that might mutate in the future to support a schema change but rather use pure sql hardcode to that change set, as change sets run in order you can be sure of the current state of your schema.

I agree totally it is a privacy minefield but proofs of ID are already required by many institutions that have far less resources than tech giants. In Poland for example (where I'm from), the National ID is required in all sorts of situations, both online and otherwise.

Also, I never meant to suggest proof of ID would be mandatory to use the service! It would be an additional status you can get optionally, if you want to get extra credibility. If you desire anonymity instead, that should absolutely be your right.

At the moment, you can get a checkmark on your twitter but how you do it is a bit unclear. Technically you have to be somewhat noteworthy, but the bar seems to be really low. If this was an entirely user-initiated process, over time people would associate that status with higher credibility.

Since most compiler vendors provide an implementation-specific way to define the undefined behaviour of signed integer overflow as a vendor extension, you will need to resort to compiler-specific means to control that.

For example, in GCC you could use a `#pragma push_options("-fno-trapv")/#pragma GCC pop_options` pair to surround the offending code.
This is a physical chemical plant not a website - if you do need to do something like that you do it manually.
Yes. If you're using XML with Liquibase, it's definitely worth using an editor that supports XML schemas for autocomplete and validation as you type.
Sadly this is behind the paywall. What are the key points? I am really interested to know.
I think that a course like this should really prepare you to be able to go and look things up yourself i.e. you only need enough linear algebra to recognise what it looks like, then you can go and read one of many excellent linear algebra books.

If you want to do video games you'll need to read something else anyway, so better to get into the habit now.
> by the numbers Facebook is mostly right wing users and that extreme right wing material is more popular.

Is that the case, or is it just that the extreme right wing posts get more traction than other posts. Like, are the extreme right wing posts more popular than all other posts combined, or are they getting e.g. on average 10 likes where other posts only get 7?

The source on Twitter seems to only look at pages (i.e. curated content), not what people share. Since they're doing it manually according to the bio, the sample must be pretty small.
Thanks for the response ... it might be fine for people with better eyes, or better monitors, but as you can see from the screenshot, the contrast is very low for me.

In Poland it's common for people to build their houses near rivers in areas that are in a risk of flooding. When buying the land, they are warned of the consequences and advised to insure the house against flood. Of course, no one does it, because "what are the odds", and then they are the first ones to seek government aid because their livelihoods got destroyed.

i wonder how much transportation & commercial emissions could be reduced solely by providing the right incentives for remote work & keeping non essential employees from driving to and from the city center everyday. covid already served as a model for this hopefully we can learn the right lessons.

another elephant in the room (really it's a whole room full of elephants) is that cali's grid is already clearly beleaguered and not keeping up with demand so what does that mean when you have something like 20 million EVs that need to plug in every night?
"5. Since we use same amount of CO2 to produce as there will be burn this carbon neutral fuel."

Not necessarily, it depends on the byproducts - hypothetically, suppose when you burned the fuel the emissions were SOMEHOW 100% methane. You're essentially turning CO2 into methane in this farcical hypothetical, which is probably worse than burning normal fossil-kerosene.

Obviously the emissions won't be methane, but you'll need to track the CO2e of every type of emission it produces other than CO2.
All of those are threats of violence, not the violence itself. In most if not all cases, you are right. I'm making a theoretical argument to disprove a thesis, that words themselves have power to hurt outside of the power we give them. If you say something to me, and I don't fear you, then your words have no power over me.

I realize there are intentionally obtuse people out there, but I don't think you were being one of them. And I believe that the pathway to a better society is presuming positive intent until demonstrated otherwise. And even perhaps one step beyond. What looks like undeniable hatred to you may actually be benighted misunderstanding and ignorance that deserves to be corrected, lovingly and gradually if needed, over the course of a lifetime.
I recommend checking out Dbmate as an alternative to Liquibase. I've previously used Liquibase, Flyway, Django's built in migration tools, and others, but Dbmate is my favorite tool for migrations by far due to its simplicity.

It's completely language agnostic, super easy to embed into any deployment pipelines, and works using regular SQL (so you don't need to learn a new syntax).

I learned that too! Weird, it is like you have tohave this whole stack in place to perform an action. Not to dissimilar to the the day job.

The main difference: in Liquibase you write migrations using XML and in Flyway you write migrations in SQL. At least that was the original differentiator, things might have changed in the last couple of years.

I've always preferred Flyway since SQL is the natural language to interact with your RDBMS. I would only consider writing migrations in XML if I have to support multiple database implementations e.g. when you built a product like Jira or SonarQube that support different databases (but think twice wether you want to go down that rabbit hole).
Not just that, but the writing is atrocious and reads like an ad for that other dating app.
