Radio adblock that replaced it with silence would be nearly useless for me... waiting through silence isn't any better.

Something that listened to two streams and cut over to a "backup" when it detected an ad in the primary would be more interesting, if it also switched back automatically!
Sweden started July with a bit more than double their current cases, and ended it with a bit less than half. Four weeks ago was as low as it ever got in Sweden, and since then it has risen steadily, up to more than double what it was. It's also 30% higher than the last local maximum, in the middle of August.

> anything interactive in JS

Except this barrier has never existed. Every HTML input is interactive: text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons. They not only remember their value, but your cursor position within them and the segment of text you've highlighted. The browser knows how far each scrollable element is scrolled, which element is in focus as you tab through the page. Forms have validation state, and can be interacted with to send an HTTP request. These days you can even do autocomplete with nothing but HTML: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/da...

The magic of HTML has never been about static layout, but about having a declarative language for building out an interface (not just a static view, but an interface). This idea that it should be nothing but a dumb view-layer is a new one, popularized by the very frameworks you're railing against. Data binding is a way to stay in that declarative space, while dramatically expanding what use-cases can be covered within it. JavaScript (in the browser) was, and always should have remained, a trapdoor for working around HTML's shortcomings. It's a Turing-complete language for doing things that can't be done any other way. Anything that can be neatly siphoned off from that more complex imperative world, should be. For the sake of complexity, for the sake of accessibility, for the sake of performance, and for the sake of compatibility.

Both are just a modified Linux.

They're distinct ecosystems though because Android TV/Chromecast use the Play Store for content/app delivery, whereas Fire TV/Samsung/Roku use their own respective stores.

If one supported both the Play Store and their own, the definitions might be more subject to question, but as it stands they don't officially allow that.
Unfortunately this was created because Wikipedia refused to keep articles on obscure altcoins so it’s very crypto heavy. That’s why a16z has jumped in I’d imagine—they very much drank the crypto koolaid and like the synergy.

This was also why I could never really see this becoming a serious product. It’s an SEO trick for ICOs looking to hype themselves, a far cry from a knowledge base. Mismatched incentives will screw up the value prop.
I enjoy how well-crafted Fossil seems to be; just like SQLite, which a sibling comment also mentioned. I really want to use Fossil, but it would be way too hard for me to not have the index/staging area of Git. [1] For all the software that claims to be 'opinionated', Fossil really is that.

The idea that people might infect themselves by handling their own masks sounds very far-fetched to me. What mechanism is supposed to do that?

The risk of people neglecting other measures sounds more reasonable, but most politicians seem to believe that the positive effect of not spitting at each other wins. Again, they have to make educated guesses based on the limited information that is available.

I don't think one can conclude from mobility reports being somehow correlated with infection numbers that physical distancing has had the most effect. Human behavior is much more complicated than that and one surely needs a more complex model.

I'm a big fan of Fossil, but I've sadly not used it in a while for new projects, as when stuff has to go on gitlab or github it is just too inconvenient.

Even though one-way pushes to github/gitlab via --fast-export / --fast-import are relatively painless, going the other way for contributions is still not easy because of rebase issues, etc, at least to my knowledge.
There are 3 major flaws in this thesis:

1. The number of synthesizable, drug like molecules is enormous

2. To have a sufficiently powered experiment, you need to run it multiple times

3. Drugs don't work in a vacuum, it also interacts with the specific genetic/epigenetic/proteomic/microbiomic makeup of the organism. You can't really control for all of that.
This is cool.

Now, can we get a comparison of these results vs. LOC?

I feel like almost any assessment of programming languages should have a table weighting the results based on how many lines of code it took to get that result.

I think it's because the story is being politicized. People who want to reopen everything are saying it's a success. Whereas people who want to keep things closed are saying it's a failure.
Stacked silicon is a thing, DRAM is already stacked 32 or even 64 layers, but for logic chips even those are being stacked - HBM can be a memory die stacked on a logic die, and there are so called 3d-ICs which can stack either active on active or active on passive dies. The next step would be more than 2 dies stacked, but that will have some interesting heat dissipation challenges...
I think there are two groups: One that generally tries to treat human beings well, and is open to reasonable arguments, and one that attacks everyone who doesn't agree with their specific position. It's the difference between someone who makes a proposal how to improve inclusivity and tries to convince people that this is the right thing to do, and someone who will start attacking people who don't want to implement that proposal.

The latter is the more visible one and being targeted by this, and in my opinion rightly so, because that behavior (attacking others) is toxic and helps nobody.
Good point although Proxy is pretty low level (for the JS world) and you still need to implement a lot of stuff yourself.

I would have expected something more akin to RXJS, MobX, or even the Svelte reactivity system.
They send a memo out to the 17 groups working on various TV related projects about consolidation. Then those 17 group heads worry about who is going to be irrelevant by the end of process. Furious game of throne style events take place. And you get what you see. It will all be shutdown and written off by Christmas so don't worry about what it is too much.

If it doesn't get shutdown by Christmas its probably because they working out how to integrate it into Google Docs.

No, I'm saying not acting according to your principles is equivalent to not believing in the principles, or believing in more subtle principles.
Furthermore by not differentiating between shades of gray there's no way to encourage good behavior from companies/people because they're all equally bad so you treat them the same even if one is making more efforts to do the right thing.

I'd really want to believe that the Swedish strategy is a good one, but so many countries that were too lax, either by bad regulations or citizens' poor following have suffered dramatic consequences throughout the year.

It's as if the Swedes were simply lucky (due to their demographic characteristics), with no useful insight that we could extract for the rest of us.

I'm sympathetic and funded Neovim bounty - the first thing of which they used it for was pulling legacy support. But I think that's the model. You have a base tool that does everything and then maybe this other thing that demonstrates there are developments that are stalling because of the base tool's support of legacy platforms.

I suspect for many tools, the hobby platform guys are the same as the other patch guys.
I think SF in general is a bubble, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It also depends also on the the economic class you belong to. In SF, and in tech especially, I'd say people are much more financially comfortable than the average. That means less urgent things to worry about, less work and more time for activism and that's regardless of race. There's a reason why historically the petit bourgeois were the vectors of revolution, radicalism, etc. Remember, first generation immigrants have chosen and often sacrified so much to be able to get here, of course they don't have as much things that they dislike than white people who have almost no other experience to compare things with. That inherent satisfaction directly means less interest in politics.

So upper class second or third gen immigrants are much more into politics because... they are upper class. Not really because they aren't white. Because even then, I would still bet upper class white people are more politicized than PoC of the same economic class. Also, since I'd guess you are into politics, you are more likely to meet and bond with people who are into them too.

If anything most of what I'm seeing these days is white people ,with huge white savior complexes & using minorities to score points, calling out other white people for not doing the same. Imo, I'd much, much rather be around an apolitical white friend who is just chill all around rather than be around someone who constantly thinks of me, my person & my identity as being political things because he's "on my side". I'm not saying that what you are doint at all, what I'm saying is that politics can dehumanize even people you think you are on the side of. ;)

Behavior-driven Development: how to develop tests for a Pokédex using BDD
It's better for someone who needs money to get $0 than to get what they're willing to work for? They don't get a choice in what they find dehumanizing or what they're willing to do?

80% of the drivers have jobs elsewhere. So presumably this is to make extra money for things like a vacation, a new TV, or being able to go out for dinner a few more times. Those all seem to be good and worthwhile for people who want a flexible earning opportunity. I guess I don't understand why a government would tell those people they can't do what they're currently doing because they don't think the current process meets an arbitrary cutoff.

That job description is strange to me–how could they ask for experience with an internal tool? Is it just a filtering mechanism to hire ex-Microsoft employees? This seems like an Apple job posting asking for experience with XBS, or an Amazon one asking for Brazil familiarity–unless this has been published in some form to the public, like Google and Facebook have done?

Snowflake seems like a unique product and I can only imagine the complex math they're doing under the hood to achieve these incredible query times. memsql is the only real competitor I know of. Redshift is a lot less user friendly (constant need to run vacuum queries). Parquet lakes / Delta lakes don't have anything close to the performance.

Predicate pushdown filtering enabled by the Snowflake Spark connector seems really promising. Lots of companies are currently running big data analyses on Parquet files in S3. Snowflake has the opportunity to grab a huge slice of the big data market.

Yeah reality is a little more complicated than that, isn't it? Imagine a large group of people yelling that the earth is flat, and that's causing people to die on one side of the globe because so many people think that the earth is flat that they've decided to stop sailing to that side of the globe and can't get supplies there fast enough. We've got to get people to say that the earth is round because believing otherwise is dismissing the fact that their false information is literally killing people, and those people dying from this false information is their own fault and they should just pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
> Britain, with about six times the population, tested only 587,000 people in the most recent week, far fewer per capita than Sweden. And Britain conducted far more tests than France, Germany or Spain in that period.

Britain has a population of 66 Mio. Germany has a population of 83 Mio. Germany conducted more than a million tests in that period [1]. It does not look like Britain conducted far more tests in that period neither absolute nor relative.

There are 3 fundamental types of enterprise software.

Case management/workflow engine
Transaction processing
Inventory management.

Once you've done all three, you're pretty much spent in terms of novelty.

If, of course, you don't go up a level and start to ponder organization as system for producing output, or industry as mechanism for facilitating businesses and so on.

The labor is lame, the art is in learning to arrange the pieces and reproduce functional units of people. At least that's the trajectory I've been on as of late. It's at least taking me somewhere I haven't been before, even if it is further from the nuts and bolts.

In my view, as an investor in Japan, these firms are the best entry points to getting access to business relationships (and key projects) across Asia. One can imagine these to be huge aggregators of business relationships and as central points (besides the banks which are getting away from cross-shareholder relationships) into the major _keiretsus_. This is the entry fee for being really in the know in corporate Japan.

And, as another commenter mentioned, getting a sweet arbitrage on the low borrowing rate and earning a nice dividend yield doesn't hurt.
> ...because we need to save them for health care workers, since masks require a hospital boundary to be effective

It was way more nuanced than what you are implying. At the time, it was not known that normal masks can have any effect and many pieces of evidence suggested the opposite. It was known that N95 masks were effective, but a) they were, and still are, in short supply and need to be saved for healthcare workers; and b) in a manner of speaking, they stop working beyond the hospital border. Putting an N95 mask on requires training and even many trained healthcare professionals put it on incorrectly and expose themselves to the virus.

Things changed when it was shown that normal fabric masks were effective.
In the good old days, one would buy and read a computer magazines equally for its content as well as the ads. They were an important source of information in a day and age without the WWW.

Of course, the advertising back then used a trick which seems to escape all modern advertising think tanks: they had great user targetting without shady tracking schemes, by advertising things a magazine reader would be interested in. Imagine this trick being used in todays web :p.
Interesting explanation. I was thinking the local teenagers had been encouraging them.

Google literally just added auto-playing semi-fullscreen video ads to Android TV in August:

(Disclosure: I work at Microsoft but not on WSL2. I’m just a huge fan and I say that as a dedicated/devout Mac user)

Two things:

First, GUI support is coming [1] and the team is working to support both X11 and Wayland [2].

Second, the Remote Development Extension for VS Code [3] lets you do this seamlessly. It auto-configs to work with WSL or WSL2 and can also connect to a container or remote machine or GitHub Codespaces codespace. It’s awesome and all of your files, your terminal, everything is mapped to WSL2, with all the GUI parts from Windows. It’s one of my favorite things.

I’m not trying to convince people that WSL2 is the end-all be-all, even though I’m an unabashed fan, but I just want to correct the record a bit (regarding VS Code) and share that X11/Wayland GUI support is coming

Pretty sure the difficulty will go up accordingly then
Just noting that in your scenario here, you are admitting that the private sector is not able to correct it's own abuses, but rather needs the elected government to do so.

>market misbehaving is punished by the market through the consumer.

Can you explain how the consumer punishes private sector entities engaged in human trafficking, for example? It seems there's plenty of evidence that deception and cutting corners is the most market competitive behavior that corporations can employ which allows them to offer the most appealing prices. Therefore market misbehavior is rewarded, not punished by consumers because the price signal is too reductionist to capture all of that.

>And the history agrees with me.

That is debate-able
That’s exactly what leaking means. Traffic that is supposed to be vpn-or-nothing is going out in the clear.
I adopted a strict need to do policy when it comes to any kind of non-personal communication online. I have zero notifications, I don't open 99% of my email, I just delete them and I certainly don't open anything twice once I'm done with them, I just archive them. I have 12 items in my inbox right now. I also apply this to my phone, and my other desktop stuff. I can live my life more or less like in the '90s. I didn't even know that this feature existed until now because I just annihilate anything that even remotely looks like spam or ad. Another thing I do is I disable javascript on any site where I see anything I don't like (like popups) and if it doesn't work it goes on my personal blocklist and I never see that site again.
I wasn’t aware that web components were promising advanced interactivity on the web without JS still doing the heavy lifting.

I watched those early google talks too and he’s right that doesn’t seem like what they were promising earlier.

I think OP confused including components using native HTML style tags would somehow also help solve the giant disparity in what you can accomplish with pure html/css and with JS added on top.

The stuff about JS being dependency and framework heavy seem thrown in but is a bit of a different problem and often comes with the territory with any complex JS.

If Web components weren't ever really going to promise a new JS free future (other than being a clean way to maintain complex layouts and import isolated/reusable chunks of UI) then those ancillary arguments about the JS ecosystem are a different and somewhat unrelated problem.

This is mostly about the others misguided idealism that doesnt sync with the IRL demands on frontend development for interactivity and complex state management vs the very limited offerings of pure HTML.

Hey :) hahaha indeed the text to speech feature might sound unnatural sometimes. I use the Web Speech API but unfortunately it doesn't work on all browsers seamlessly.

Are you using it on mobile? If yes and your device is a Samsung one please check that you are using Google's TTS engine and not Samsung's.

"You can pick which one by going to the Settings app, then Controls->Language and input->Text-to-speech options. Select the gear icon next to Google Text-to-speech Engine, then under Language you can update the exact locale you want to use. If you select "Install voice data" you can even select from a sample of different voices for some locales. You need to restart the device after changing this setting for it to take effect."

Let me know if you got it working. You can also switch browser to check if it works on a different one. I really wish Web speech API was more consistent.
