No libraries off the top of my head. I know w3[.]css[0] has one example page[1] with a parallax , but I don't know if that's what you're looking for.

LineageOS[2] has a site with a decently readable source code. They also don't have exactly what you are looking for, but the <img> with id="rotate-on-scroll" (The spinning phones) and the related script[3] look like they could somewhat related -- you could probably change the transform in the script to accomplish what you're looking for.

Thought the same myself. I am not that old, but still optimistic about the challenge of never uploading an image of myself to the net. I am on pics uploaded by others sadly.
As an American, I think the tolerance for violence in American society is astonishingly high. I think that our high urban crime rates and our documented problems with police brutality are symptoms of the same disease. Certainly widespread gun ownership and latent racism are confounding factors, but I don't necessarily believe they're the driving force because they are a poor explanation for the violence we see in places like Baltimore and Chicago.

I've come to believe that there is something very wrong with our attitude towards violence, and yet it's not clear to me why we are different or how we got here, let alone what policy changes could address it.
If you mean rural travel between small cities/towns, that's what I head in mind too with the first example (as that's the setting I grew up in).

If you mean sport biking (race, mountainbike, long distance), then you are right that I didn't consider those.
You need to move to a country with long life-expectancy. I am from Ukraine, so it has given pretty average life-expectancy for it ~69 years.
"fight against single thought"??
While I agree that a standardized notation would be great (though it's hard, e.g. I think e[v/x] is a lot harder to understand than e[x := v] if you've never seen it before), I take issue with the idea that if people struggle with notation that it must be the fault of the notation.

The author quotes a tweet about someone complaining about the notation used for a basic type judgement for being cryptic. Any introductory text will immediately cover this and looking it up, you can learn the notation (which is really rather simple) in about 5 minutes. Yet, the tweet author claims that they saw this notation 12 years ago and still can't understand it. Well, to me the only reasonable conclusion is that they simply didn't bother spending a few minutes looking it up and instead expected that they would magically understand it after enough time has passed. I seriously doubt that gammas being used instead of the word 'context' is why they're struggling.

And this is my core issue with a lot of these "notation is a barrier" complaints. Instead of being valid complaints about esoteric notation (and especially using this notation without defining it!), it's people who believe that knowing how to program means you should be able to read any PL text without any preparation which is just unreasonable. If you want to seriously engage with a paper, you'll have to read up on the basics first in literally any field.

I seriously doubt this CFR holds with an overwhelmed health care system. Since then effective treatments have been discovered and saved the lives of many who would have died if gotten sick earlier. Now we are most likely just 2-3 months away from a vaccine and big preventable outbreaks seem stupid.

> When this supernova explodes it will be closer than any known supernova observed to date, and about 19 times closer than Kepler’s supernova. Assuming it explodes as an average Type II super-nova, the optical luminosity will be approximately -12.4, becoming brighter than the full moon.
At the other end of spectrum, the lack of notation variations limits the vocabulary of a PL, which in turn either limits the feature of a PL and/or making it verbose. Verbosity can make things a bit difficult too. I am still a bit frustrated with Java's annotation simply because something that starts with `@` can mean widely varying things.

Since the author is writing about mathematical notation, it is true that mathematical notations sometimes can be bothersome. `Σ` for example has a better (crude) representation in programming language `.forEach` or `.map`. Someone who doesn't use them very often can be really frustrated by it.

But, this also applies to non-programming languages. Logograms, like Chinese hanzi, Egyptian hieroglyphs, are all symbols and can describe things more succinctly, but has a really really steep learning curve.

Not that far, German has the word "Tschüß" which means "bye". An English-speaking person not actively reading German may imagine the sound of it as "Tshoob" while it actually is closer to "choose". The letter "ß", by intuition, is closer to "B" while it is actually an "ss".

I believe that the other half of the PL-notation-entry-barrier problem is which notations are required for which layer of programming language API. If learning is like going up a stair, it's not just about the angle of the stairs, but the height of each steps.

CSS for example (I would argue that CSS is a non-turing-complete declarative programming language), is rather good for this. You only need to use `.class` and `#` when you're styling something with class or ID. Only after that you will learn how to use `:pseudo-class` for a more complex behavior, after that @keyframe, etc.

> Actionsflow helps you to automate workflows, it's the best IFTTT/Zapier free alternative for developers.

Perhaps I'm a bit old school or not as invested in open source "marketing", but I appreciate some more humility and honesty in a project description. With amazing open source projects like n8n and nodered around, it's usually best to wait and receive the title of the "best" from others rather than give it to yourself.

My brother uses Zapier to automate a lot oft the processes in bis company. Especially the backoffice processes. He is is not a tech savy Person. If you ask him what an API is, he has no idea.

It obviously only works if you use SaaS pltaforms for everything but, sadly, thats the default in a lot of companies anyway.
I found this GitHub feature very useful. I love it. In my 30,000 something line repository it gave me eight code scan alerts of which seven were useful and had like specific coded up example workarounds how I could fix them, and I followed all the advice. And one was not relevant because it was a shell script that I don't use anymore, but there's no way the code scan could know that I don't use script.

I don't have experience of the security fatigue and stuff that other people seem to be talking about. Maybe I just write better code, or use fewer, and fewer problematic, dependencies? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway I think this is a really cool feature and I'd love to see more of these sort of value added and free features on top of public repos. Is there a place where like you can create your own like a marketplace or something?
What are the "annoyances and quirks" you are referring to?

I hate programming myself into a corner only to figure this out much later. So I appreciate any serious feedback on this.

I have no issues adopting a new UID system, but so far what everyone has described as problems don't apply to the work I am doing.
Rubbish. This effort is led by PayTM, which was recently removed from the Play store for repeatedly violating a policy against gambling. Indian startups are trying to fuck around with the rules as if they're invincible, and acting shocked when Google actually does something to them.
> PM from GitHub here

Hey totally off topic sorry. Can you get someone to turn off pull-requests for the unofficial mirrors that you guys created for some open source projects? Users are being mislead into thinking opening PRs there is productive, but they're not monitored by our project and we don't own the repo anyway. https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/pulls

I've tried contacting your support, but they just tell me that they don't own the repo, which is obviously false[1]. I don't know who to reach out to.

Man what a depressing story.. You could say that it isn't a story, but just life..

Life is unfair, and life just happens, the best thing we can do is try to live the best we can.

Have to say, that really is a wonderful bookshelf, I just hope to see a picture when it is full of books.. I cannot even fathom how heart breaking it must be, every time you see the bookshelf, you remember your dead wife and her life wish she didn't get too see fulfilled.

This kind of stuff just hits you differently..
I have also always wanted to have a home library where I can hide away and just read books for hours on end, guess this could be a kind of wake up call to go for it sooner than later, since you never know when your end is coming...

Rights to wear clothes. Rights to not speak to anyone they don't want to. Rights against unreasonable search. These are all privacy related, and while we give some up to be a part of society, we retain some as well. Looking at this as black and white (on either side) is an obstacle to finding a sustainable and constructive path forward.
Boilerplating a Go Microservice
I'm somewhat obsessed in woodworking but got into it the same way I was drawn to programming - just making things.

Like most things if you expect the first thing you make to be any good it'll be a hard road.
I've seen multiple corporate re-orgs (Fortune 100) and you are right -- internal monopolies cannot just charge what they want. Eventually, internal customers get fed up and "revlot" -- then you have a corporate re-org where IT infra/services get distributed across business lines or lower.

Eventually that blows up too -- re-composing data at the parent level (e.g., for quarterly financial reporting) becomes too exhausting and the company decides to revert to centralized services.
It's like real estate, the prices are set based on the market and demand. The TLD is comparable to location in real estate. Prices will only go up for the major TLDs.

As @himinlomax said in countries where career paths are easier to follow for women, like in Scandinavia, they chose other lines of work that are less taxing on personal and family time and more rewarding economically (per hour worked) such as law, economy, education, politics (city counselor, consultant for the government etc etc).

It seems that STEM is an escape route for women that can't find other ways to emerge or advance their careers,but it's not preferable if they can have a choice.

> Curriculum is often developed by teachers in a collaborative manner

Which has the hilarious (in a sad sort of way) effect of meaning you can move 5mi, cross a state line, still be living among similar people and yet have totally different history/science curriculum because the state on average is very politically different so the committee agrees on a different subset of history/science that need not be taught.
Monero uses special techniques to obfuscate activity on its chain, increasing the cost of chainanalysis significantly. However, for an attacker that is well funded (e.g. NSA) it's likely a very small challenge to overcome.

Besides brute-force tracking of the chain, a clever way to track cryptocurrency users (including Monero users) is to add backdoored cryptocurrency wallets/apps into app stores and capture the data at the point it is created, just as Facebook/Whatsapp capture keystroke input in realtime. This is probably even cheaper than breaking Monero's obfuscation techniques, and also works well against better privacy technologies such as Zcash.
Ontario police used Covid-19 database illegally, civil rights groups find
Yeah, I worked in the industry for a while based in Europe, so that's the context of my comment. I deliberately avoided health insurance, both because I don't know a huge amount about it, and because it's so mental in the US.

I do agree with you in terms of the societal benefit piece, but was just trying to give some insight with respect to how the industry works now (without taking a position on how it should work).

My personal belief is that we should only allow individual level features to be considered, because otherwise you end up in a position where people living in richer areas both have more money and pay less for insurance (which is rational from an insurer perspective).

That being said, insurance doesn't really make any money, and is probably something that would be better provided by the state (especially for things like auto, which people are forced by the state to have).
Palantir: The controversial data firm now worth £17bn
> I am sure that the outcome is based on what the student puts into it.

I strongly disagree with the idea that the outcome of child education depends on "what the student puts into it." A quality education shapes a child, instills a growth mindset, nurtures curiosity, encourages grit and perseverance, and meets the child where they're at. A barren garden is not the fault of the seeds.

This hits close to home for me as I am working with a child now who has been written off by his school and teachers as a "bad student." There is no such thing. He needs some extra support and coaching to learn some meta-strategies like asking for help when needed, planning, organization, and yes, diligence, but ultimately he wants to succeed and is capable of it, just like any other child. Children don't fail school. School fails children.
Anecdote: my wife works for a biotech company and her firm has more way more women than men. She does statistical programming and her entire group (I think 4-6 people?) are women. Coming from more conventional engineering companies that always lean overwhelmingly male, I've found this fascinating.

I don't know if it's a feature of biotech specifically or just her company (which offers good maternity leave by the way, and the employees make use of it).

How many of your customers, who can detect these same vulnerabilities, care about whether or not it's triggered? What about the fact that these are all latent bugs waiting to be hit with an approach like this?

It needlessly accumulates risk when you prioritize explaining why things don't need to be fixed rather than just lowering the bar to fixing them
An inclusive culture is one where you feel like you belong, and you don't feel a pervasive sense of being alienated, a sense that other people don't want you to be there. The sense that your contributions aren't valuable to the team.

If you don't know what this feels like, good. Over time it really wears you down.
Using "new" is code smell. This is easily caught in code review.
This is kind of mentioned in the interview I posted in the sibling reply, but I could imagine that this mainly drives down the density, but not so much the rate of growth. The reason is that grown individuals can actually usually feed themselves by roaming. What is hard is achieving a caloric surplus, which is why there is little specialisation and social stratification.

Born to Connect – A Memoir
This sounds just like someone calling up McClaren or Ferrari and demanding an MSRP on one of their Formula-1 cars... and screaming RACISM if they don't have an immediate answer.

Systems like this are not just sitting on a shelf with a price tag... there are tons of other considerations going on here: integration, deployment and support contracts... required infrastructure like power, network switches - even cabling can go into the tens of thousands of dollars.

No chrome plugin is going to fix this "contact sales" problem, and assuming some nefarious racist intent only goes to show that the inquiry is a waste of time for the person on the other end of the line.
The Dangers of Categorical Thinking
I continue to be dismayed by how Microchip treats developers. Want a toolchain? You have to create an account. Of course, it's freeloading off of the Free software gcc toolchain. Even worse, when it comes to their microcontrollers that use the START or ASF4 system, you get headers that are incompatible with Free software (I haven't checked how they license the headers of the new tinyAVR series MCUs). At least when it was Atmel it was just a few pieces of IP that were guarded with stupidity like this (their touch interface is the only one I recall)
Soil’s Microbial Market Shows the Ruthless Side of Forests (2019)
The part of this that amazes me is that while it seems plain to lots of folks what it -probably- is and how to record to tape, pop in a 'C64' and pull it in as a file, it seems that in all of the internet, barely dozens of people might have expressed having actually done it.

That kinda makes me sad
> many regular-sized cars cannot fit three child seats in the back.

We have this simple Walmart one [1] and it's 17" at the widest point. To fit three across, then, you need a car with 51" "shoulder room". Most small cars do have that much room:

* Toyota Corolla: 52" [2]

* Honda Civic: 55" [3]

* Honda Fit: 53" [4]

* Kia Forte: 55" [5]

Yes, it's possible to get big bulky seats, but if you get relatively narrow ones they'll fit across the back of ~anything.

Quantum computing will never be able to solve any generic task faster than a traditional computer. The whole idea behind it is that certain problems can be structured in a way to reduce the search space for solutions.
You probably know what you're doing but for a beginner, 2x4 isn't a good choice because:

1. 2x4 are not 2" x 4" and when you start, you make a lot of assumptions that land you in hot water.

2. A beginner will not know what does "green" vs. "klin" mean and will have a hard time getting anything to be straight.

3. Construction lumber is made for construction and not interior use because of many different factors.

I would highly recommend choosing poplar 1x8 boards (they will neither be perfectly 1 inch in thickness nor 8 inches in width but close). They are easy to work with because poplar is soft, even though it called a "hardwood". And the wood takes paint and stain very well.

Also, with poplar, your list of beginner tools will be spot on. You wouldn't even need much more and I'm confident that I can put together a good enough kit for under $250 by using only corded tools and an extension cord.

If the employee was finding ways to get upset at everything, it’s not unbelievable that they’d find a way to get upset about being given a bonus with their severance.
