The vscode dev slack is just normally quiet, I wouldn't chalk it up to some implicit secrecy about a project with a pretty open team.

VSCode extensions can render arbitrary html in web view tabs already. However they're sandboxed from the rest of vscode and communication between the browser page and rest of the ide is tricky. This is actually a bit painful if you want to debug something that uses a webview, since vscode's debugger won't step into the embedded window's runtime.

The other obvious win is browsing documentation.
I'm so tired of all reports talking about things that could happen, may happen, but fail to produce numbers of how common it is.

Hundreds of millions of people have had sars-cov-2 by now, if long-term effects were a widespread phenomenon, we would know by now. And yet, absolute crickets except rare outliers.

An old friend of mine was sick for months with the virus, and she has many months of rehab in front of her before she's back to normal. That sucks, but she's still the outlier. And you can't let the outliers dictate your behaviour, or you would never leave the house for fear of falling pianos or lightning strikes.

How is this unfair? I haven't contributed to many projects precisely because I think it's disrespectful to the maintainers to submit anything but non-trivial, typo-free and with passing tests.

There's even a guide on contributing to open source software (and also about opening issues) that says this.
Crocher: Rather death by Covid than death by loneliness – Columns – trib.com
Actually, that is not a gross oversimplification. According to [1], whether a crime has maximum sentence of over 1 year is precisely how the US government determines what crimes are and are not felonies:

In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor. The classification is based upon a crime's potential sentence, so a crime remains classified as a felony even if a defendant receives a sentence of less than a year of incarceration.

Also, no, I wasn’t referring to post-release supervision (which is usually referred to as parole or supervised release). Many hundreds of thousands of people every year receive a sentence of probation for felonies, primarily because countless “tough on crime” measures have increased maximum sentences for minor crimes, which automatically turned them into felonies where they used to be misdemeanors.

Coping with the TCP Time-Wait State on Busy Linux Servers ⁕ Vincent Bernat
I don't know about you, but my AirPods have been a total nightmare. Routinely won't wake up, routinely don't charge; often when I go for a run one of them is dead or at 10% charge. I now have a routine where I insert/remove/insert/remove/insert/remove and watch the led to make sure it blinks -- it makes it better, but it's not foolproof.

And don't get me started on the iWatch, it crashes at the same point on my run about 50% of the time. Now when I say same point, I mean same geographical location. Doesn't matter if I run directly there (it's about 1 mile from home), or if I do a 5 mile loop first. Always roughly the same place (within 200 yards). I should go and look up the coordinates, maybe there's something odd about the numbers.

Anyway, switched back to iPhone, wired earphones and armband holder -- much better (and now I can take pictures of the woods when I see something interesting!).

I don't know about that particular video, but they're not always made up. There are videos and photos of objects that we know were colored in a certain way (from contemporary descriptions) - flags are very handy in that regard, for example. These can be used to calibrate the algorithm. Of course, a B&W image will still be ambiguous, and the algorithm has to make guesses. But those guesses aren't completely random.

It's less like OCR'ing the federalist papers and more like increasing the length by 2400%. That's what blowing up a video from 480p to 4k entails: fabricating 96% of the pixels based on the 4% which are actually available in the original piece. It really is as useless as I make it sound.

These studies are very tricky to interpret because there's no context for how bad these results are.

How many healthy people have (presumably benign) cardiac abnormalities when you do a cardiac MRI? How many people who got a cold or flu have cardiac abnormalities when you do a cardiac MRI? Covid is undoubtedly more fatal than the flu, but in some demographics, like the young, it is less fatal.

The first cited study of athletes does not provide any context. The other cited study (Puntmann et al) did attempt to have a control group of people who did not contract Covid but had similar risk factors as the people who did contract Covid. If you look at this control group, a ton of people have cardiac abnormalities (in Table 1, as many as 26% of the non-Covid group could have the criteria for myocarditis that the study states).

That would be true, if people were perfect absorbers of information. But they aren't.

So, leaving aside that the original is still, an interpretation technique might strictly lose a bit here or there, but it might actually result in many more bits delivered to the end user.
Nice work MW!

I’m now left wondering what sorts of impending doom the decorator-withdrawal-situation will create for NestJS.
Which is all just proof that the only real "work" our Congresspeople actually DO is just campaign for reelection. Our government is deadlocked by campaign contributions and a lack of term limits. It will not improve until both are remedied. I know it's kind of pointless to post a comment as nihilistic as this, but it is what it is.
That’s a bit of a stretch though... jtag for ice/debug at that point just becomes another serial bus interface with a high level protocol controller.. you’re not literally extending any scan chain in most cases. The jtag port was coopted for this purpose simply for the pragmatic reason that it’s a good use of pin real estate.. nothing more.
I spent my last 2 weeks optimizing a decade old SaaS to handle massive traffic spikes from one of our biggest customers. We had other customers serving similar amounts of traffic, but with smaller data sets.

- Increasing the numbers of servers running the app. App connections were still stacking up though. This gave us more breathing room though for connections to start stacking and handle small spikes.

- The database seemed very overloaded with so many concurrent connections. I began putting everything I could into memcached (we already had a lot of data in it, but I put more).

- now we had a cache hotspot. Some digging found a age old bug in our cache driver where it didn’t actually keep things in process memory after fetching from memcached and we had a medium sized key getting fetch 100s of times per request.

- Days and days of app optimization after profiling. Our average response time went improved by more than 50%. The site would still start collapsing under a little load.

- While profiling in a single request all queries would complete very quickly (<50ms). Somehow the DB was still the bottleneck. We overprovisoned it significantly and it still would collapse.

- I started collecting counts and timings for cumulative and maximum single cache/db, read/writes to our log stack.

- the bottleneck was clearly still the DB.

- at this point we were desperate. Thinking it might have been an issue in the underlying VM we live migrated the DB to a new VM.

- the database was still the bottleneck.

In the end the thing that fixed it? A simple OPTIMIZE TABLE.

Somehow ANALYZE TABLE hadn’t detected anything but rebuilding the table still fixed the issue.

If anyone is looking for a good load testing tool, Vegeta was invaluable. I highly recommend it.

It's the computer trying to copy the color from the training image set onto the video. My point about a guy in a bright red or hot pink suit in the B&W original being represented as sepia/navy in the colorization is still the same. It's impossible to turn B&W image into a color image without guessing what the colors are. The average color of a guy's suit in the colorized copy might be right if it's trained on a realistic dataset, but ultimately it's still guessing and making up information for each individual suit.

I taught myself web development after graduating with a BS in English & Sociology and working a couple years in college admissions & financial aid. I have 1 year of full-stack experience in Angular 7 - 10 + .Net Core 2.2 - 3.1, but am continually learning new languages and frameworks (both professionally and for fun).

My humanities background has aided me quite a bit in technical documentation, public speaking, and effective communication with product owners, QA analysts, PMs, and other developers. Although I've put in a lot of time to catch up to my colleagues coming out of CS programs, I've found that these soft skills have been invaluable on development teams.

I am very passionate about learning, and love to teach and work in collaborative, inclusive workplaces. I would be open to part- or full-time work, but would prefer something that does not involve frequent over-time.

Trust me we are all tired.

> Hundreds of millions of people have had sars-cov-2 by now,

No, worldwide numbers are ~34 million confirmed. You don't get to just randomly multiply by some fudge factor that feels right to you and then reason based on that.

When you do this it makes it clear that numbers really don't mean anything to you and it will just be more sophistry to justify giving up and letting the disease everywhere because of something about "others dictating your behaviour" or something or other. This attitude and shades of it are exactly why 1 million people worldwide have died.

Yeah, we're tired.
Fewer parens. It was just a trivial example to illustrate the macro.

(lets (a b) (list 1 2) c (+ a 3) (d e f) (some-func a b c) (* d e f))

It destructures automatically. The equivalent traditional macro might look like

(destructuring-bind* [[(a b) (list 1 2)] [c (+ a 3)] [(d e f) (some-func a b c)]] (* d e f))

which is unreadable. And yeah, normally it's indented properly and yada-yada, and people use editor plugins like paredit to make it not such a pain to type, but still. It adds up.

Internally I am sure they are filtering them somehow, likely ignoring lower amounts, but why would the government voluntarily increase the minimum? They would then have less data. Better to just collect it all and selectively use some of it.
> Music notation is actually terrible, even musicians agree to that.

Terrible for what? My understanding is that it is quite good at accomplishing its intended purpose (ie transcribing western music in a dense manner that can be rapidly understood by a professional with only a glance).

I don't know much about music theory myself but the topic of alternative "improved" musical notations came up on HN regarding a music related Show HN that made the front page. Frustratingly I can't seem to dig it up right now. In that discussion many points were made regarding a number of tasks including simultaneously sight reading rhythms and chords, on the fly transposition (I think this was somehow related to symmetry?), and notational density.
My experience has been the reverse. I've found MobX code easier to maintain than equivalent Redux code, and although it's obviously subjective, I feel it is a good fit for the React model.

>If you are the government, then Snowden absolutely did betray your trust.

And having gotten federal clearance in the past, I remember lots of very forbidding language indicating the extensive penalties that would occur if that clearance was violated. Even the guy who got pardoned by Trump, Kristian Saucier, who took a few pictures inside of a submarine where he worked[1], was basically ruined until pardon - prison, not honorable discharge, etc... 63 months of prison!

That's how serious the federales are about enforcing classification and generally, I agree with it. Except in the case of exposing massive unconstitutional abuses of power including the wholesale disregard and contempt for the 4th amendment.
