If the browser is your OS, it makes a lot of sense.

In contrast, I often organize my browser tabs onto multiple separate windows (even when I don't have that many open), because opening programs in windows and jumping between them is something I do a lot, and it's baked in very nicely to my window manager :)

To avoid misinterpretation since text is horrible this way: I am NOT disparaging or even really disagreeing with the parent comment. They're just two different workflows, and while I appreciate the advantages of the browser, apps work better in mine.
One understated thing related to code quality is the social dynamic. People really do not like being told what to do. This is a reality anywhere in life, and requires a deft hand. Knowing when to push, what to push for, which hills to die on, etc.

Code style and linting should be an easy win. I think locating a few examples of a bad pattern in the codebase that multiple people repeated is a good way to make certain quality improvements sustainable. But you can’t do that every time otherwise people will think that’s all you do. You also can’t keep hounding one person in code reviews, you’ll lose their morale as well. It’s a balance, and almost more of a social issue.

Sometimes it great to point out stuff being done right too. It’d be great if it was a team effort so it there isn’t one word of god out there.
That did not answer my question, at all. Why can't Sweden also be compared with the UK and Belgium?

There's no evidence that coronavirus has a climate-related outcome, save for vitamin D sufficiency, which is only partly related to climate.

According to this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deat...

Sweden is at number 13 and falling. Many latin American countries as well as UK, Spain, Belgium, US, and Italy have all fared worse on a per capita basis than Sweden.

Coronavirus does not discriminate based on economy. Many first world nations have been hard hit. Coronavirus does not discriminate based on climate, many warm latin american countries are in the top 10. Coronavirus has hit many areas of the US the hardest during the summer.

Sweden has never locked down, never mandated masks, and they currently have only a couple dozen hospitalizations. Their deaths, even by your chart, have completely flatlined at near zero for now going on three months.
My main takeaway from this article is the question why conextIsolation was introduced defaulting to false.

This is one huge lever to help with the maxime “XSS is RCE in electron” and yet they default to not helping.

I know this is about backwards compatibility, but they could easily have decided to throw if the property is unset. Security-minded people would have set it to true and dealt with the fallout, whereas others could have set it to false and shipped their update still.

But by defaulting to false, this security tool is hidden from both existing and new users. Old code will not even have the chance to get fixed and new code will be written in an insecure state.

I’m sure the release notes talked about this feature, but who reads release notes? Especially not past release notes (when starting fresh today).

The backwards compatibility cost of throwing and in the message even suggesting setting to false as an emergency out would have been minimal compared to the fallout this is causing.

I mean read the text of the act that I linked to though. It's only about a page and a half long. And it has absolutely nothing to do with crypto. It's just a technicality around how existing bank accounts work.

Also I really disagree with that premise. This is fundamentally a monetary policy issue and we'd be in the same position whether crypto had come around or not. The only difference is they would have called it something else.

MFC was a mess, In the 90's. I dabbled with MFC multiple times, mostly to support other peoples applications and it was overwhelmingly bad. For C++ I mostly just used the native win16/32 APIs because it turned out to be less kludgy for small GUI's associated with various services I was writting. OTOH, I did a _LOT_ of development with vb, and later delphi for the frontend of those services. Both of which were significantly better GUI development tools than visual studio at that point.

I've since moved on to other development areas, but have done a bit of both JS (on and off from about 2005->2015), and a bit of QT here and there too. The latter seems to have gotten better in the past few releases AFAIK. C# is at least ok too.

So in the case of MFC and early QT its not surprising that you prefer react+JS as neither of those were exactly the pinnacle of UI development in the late 1990's early 2000s.

What you describe in a later posting about MFC was never really a problem with the VCL, pretty much no one dealt with repaint messages unless you were writing a custom component. I remember showing a number of MFC programmers BC++ builder (which is also still a thing) when they were singing the MFC tune. They tended to get really quite after that.

PS/edit: Crazy, I just went and looked at the latest visual studio documentation and MFC is still an option, and at first glance seems basically the same as it was 25 years ago. Although the section on creating win32 applications is in front in the manual. I guess i'm not surprised that MFC is still a thing, but I am surprised that it doesn't have a giant depreciation warning. I frankly can't imagine creating a new MFC application in 2020.
NP. Yes, patenting costs for simple structures such as your BF product are on the low end of the spectrum, as compared to other product types.

Have you recieved any allowed patents for this product? I only see patent pending listed at your site. The process can sometimes take several iterations (office actions) and fees at the time of allowance are also needed.

"let's hang around after standup g discuss" happens some but since we have so few other contact points mostly we just let each other brain dump at standup.

even if we did let some pepe go, I still feel like we would just shuffle around how & where we synchronously waste time. I really want to retain the sense of human contact of voice & often video, but in a way that we can thread, reply to async, & come back to latter, none of which would be easy & convenient with our current predominantly synchronous systems.

Still, he's not a disinterested party and he should have disclosed this more clearly in his article.

Deelie Bobbers by Parker Brothers [0]. They're smaller, 1" but there's no question that it's essentially the same thing. There's a patents US2984935A [1] and US3177611A [2] from 1959 and 62.

So I suppose the question is, how can you make money as a distributor of an over 50 year old product?

The article seems to suggest that they created this toy and that patent protection is an option, which seems at very least disingenuous.

Prior to Covid I noticed that our in-house purchasing guide had Dell WQHD 34" monitors so I purchased one each for my interns and they were a big hit. Turned out to be hugely useful both at their desks from the screen real estate (3440x1440) and using them for mid-year and year-end demos.

When my interns rolled off me and my employees naturally repurposed the monitors and within a couple of months everyone had gotten so used to them we had to have one at home for remote work days.

My desk is an old english game table that is 36" wide so two 20+" monitors is a little crowded. But one 34" monitor is perfect for me. Same idea: lots of screen real estate. The fact that everyone on the team has one with the same resolution at home makes screen sharing between us perfect. The other team members still have multi-monitor setups, so they can always screen share off of their second monitors when presenting to people with lower resolution displays. I have to scooch my browser to the far left and blow up to 150% before people can read anything. Minor downside, but still worth it.

> Almost every single provisional application I’ve seen filed without a lawyer’s input has been close to worthless.

Wait, you mean they failed to establish priority?

As in, they filed the full patent with a lawyer within 12 months and then sued somebody who infringed during that 12-month period and lost because of a defect in the provisional filing?

That would be pretty surprising if you'd seen many instances of that happening.

The point of the provisional application isn't to be a patent. It's to buy you an extra 12 months of priority in which to decide if you want to hire a lawyer. Do provisional patents really fail to do this limited job on a regular basis?

The evidence in favor of the lockdowns is that Sweden (and many other countries) were unable to wall off their elderly, despite knowing that they needed to. This failure to quickly segregate the vulnerable isn’t really surprising: successfully isolating the elderly from a pandemic is very challenging, especially under crisis conditions where you have no warning and very little time to prepare. Other countries decided the only way they could handle the problem in the time allotted was to reduce the incidence of COVID in the entire population via lockdowns, on the theory that this would protect the vulnerable populations by preventing COVID from reaching them. Sweden rejected some of these restrictions and, tragically, had a much worse outcome among these vulnerable populations.

ETA: It is concerning that even several months into the epidemic, with time to prepare better to protect vulnerable populations, Sweden now feels that stronger general restrictions are the right approach. It’s hard to see how that isn’t also an admission that those restrictions shouldn’t have been used in the early phases as well.

Kaluza-Klein theory is an attempt to exhibit a transformation that charged particles travel on "straight" lines in a 5-dimensional space. The fifth dimension is supposed to be a very small circle. There are some experimental implications, but the circle is so small that we can't detect them (it's similar with string theories).

String theory tries to do the same thing with other forces; so it's not clear whether there's such a transformation.
Forces are technically simpler than embedding extra dimensions that there are no evidence for.

You can market your end results as an old thing, but if it's ever the case that you aren't introducing a thing new to that market, you have a speculative hot potato, not a good business. If the neighborhood already has five boba shops, the sixth one that opens is facing a lot of competition.

Which in some respects doesn't mean you have to be innovative at any point, just well timed and positioned. Underserved niches often love "more of the old stuff" if it brings back something they thought was lost. And bringing back the old stuff can be a gamble just as much as doing a groundbreaking thing; in that case, having a way of doing it better is a great derisk.
(Ah, yes, pedantry. It has its own gravity. You can't tell me it's not a force. I can't resist its pull.)

It wouldn't be an ellipse even if Earth were a point mass. The gravity of the Moon and Sun, the gravitational lumpiness in the sky, has the same effect as the gravitational lumpiness underground. The combined result may be no closer to an ellipse than it is to a parabola.

Sure, this is true. But there aren't any early investors in Exxon (for example) cashing out this way.
maybe you can split the task into its subtasks and forget about the task itself. Then you forget about the concept of subtasks and you are left with a bunch of tasks. now you can define dependencies between these tasks like you would normaly do.

You can patent an improvement or tweak to a previous product. E.g., someone could patent a pencil, then someone could patent a pencil with an eraser, then someone could patent a pencil with a pyramid-shaped eraser. So they possibly are trying to patent some small inprovement to the older product.

I'm unconvinced that treating spacetime as a quantum field is the right approach -- just a gut feeling -- given gravity "feels" so much different than the quantum theories and general relativity is just so beautifully geometric.

I'd be very sad if we had to lose that and deal with gravitons.
\o hey there; sorry to hear.

The little secret is that "Number of players" in the configuration doesn't actually matter. When people join the room/game, they start as spectator and you (the host) flip it on and they become players. (I wish I could figure out how to put the "off" label on the other side of the switch so it is more obvious, but when I can, I have the label describe the current state of the switch).

I always create a game and then realize afterwards that more people than I expected joined. :-) I've found it best leave to the calculations (tiles per player in particular) until I actually press the start button.

So, as long as you have two players or more in the game, should be good to go.

It seems the index was incomplete.

From [a link from inside https://icolombina.es/ that doesn't work if there isn't a session, I removed it]:

Of 3500 epítomes that were mentioned in Memorial al Emperador (report for the Emperor) Biblioteca Colombina keeps the following numbers: 509-576 (h.1r.-24v.), 697 (incomplete beginning)- 723 (incomplete ending) (h. 25r.-42v.), 881 (incomplete beginning)-956 (h. 43r.-74v), 957-1207 (h. 75r.-180v.), 1208- start of 1258 (h. 181r.-202v.), final of 1258-1316 (h. 203r.-227v.), 1317-1364 (incomplete ending) (h. 228r.-252v.), 1412-1550 (incomplete ending) (h. 253r.-516v.), 1576-1605 (incomplete ending), 1989 (incomplete begining)-2024 (incomplete ending?)

Also in http://www.icolombina.es/colombina/bibliograficos.htm there's a more complete story of copies and how they tried to create a systematic index... as an example, you can read a reference to 1635 books of the collection that were lost when a ship sunk from Venice to Seville.

The part in Seville was recorded in microfilm years ago and it's possible to consult there. It doesn't seem to be online.
I agree with you that is obvious at first glance now a days but I wouldn't want to see it written like that in Python at least...

I would prefer to have small functions named after what it is accomplishing and then have 2 function calls..

something like

list_of_grades = [1 , 2, 3 4]
adjusted_list_of_grades =
apply_end_of_semester_grade_adjustment(list_of_grades)
odd_grades = remove_even_grades(adjusted_list_of_grades)

Of course that this example is very silly but understanding why a transformation is happening when you're looking an old code base that you don't have the context is easier w/ a function and docstring that explains it than a map or filter

You can't enforce pending patent applicaition, only an issued patent. Also, as OP notes in the article, actually trying to enforce an issued patent in court is time consuming and expensive. It's also difficult if the copycat is based outside the US. They could just close their doors and open up the next day under another name.
