I could well be missing something! I get that zeromq is not quite equivalent to rabbit or Google pubsub but you do presumably still want the same kinds of patterns: pubsub, queues and maybe a bit of routing?

So it is an alternative to (eg) Google pubsub and I think can be compared with it. Is there any case where it would be used for a different /purpose/ than the others?
People take smaller salaries all the time if their work is for the public good. Quite many charity organizations find lots of people to man them. Universities are another example. Some people go into the industry, others become researchers.

Instead of paying 10 people 100k annually, I'd rather pay 20 people 50k. That's enough to live a comfortable life in most places, including most places in US. Would it give you the people who are in tech only for the money? Probably not. Maybe you don't really want them in the first place, because even though they might be smart and work well, maybe they aren't the "best" people for the job, as they don't optimize by what's best for their users but by what's best for them.
Pull requests aren't a part of git. They're a part of GitHub.
My understanding is that (1) the patient has the right to be explained what the surgery will be, what is their prognosis, what are the risks etc, so they can give informed consent - not sure who other than the surgeon could do this; and (2) that surgery needs to be planned, the surgeon needs to know how many nurses they will need, whether they need any assisting surgeons etc. This is all medical knowledge, a surgeon is not waiting in an operating room and operating whoever they bring in.

The whole story smells of very bad medical practices (and I'm speaking with the perspective of someone living in a formerly communist country, not some medical Mecca).
huh, you're totally right--I misremembered! thanks for the correction.
> That's typically not worked in other countries. For example, see Russia, which has been under exactly those kinds of targeted sanctions and yet which continues to openly murder opponents of the Putin regime across the globe.

Russia is almost a semi-hermit State unlike China. Russia was never an "export powerhouse". China is. Russia doesn't have the kind of population China has. Russian population is less than half of USA. Sanctions don't have a major impact on Russia as US was never its major trading partner. But sanctions on China will be a huge blow as US was China's main trading partner. You can't compare Russia and China. They are not the same.
In the US, at least, computer engineering != programming. Computer engineering is more commonly (when you look at the courses) electrical engineering with a digital logic focus with some additional programming courses (often the first 2-4 CS courses). Programming falls squarely within computer science.

Blockchain technology has made headlines mainly due to the interest and attention that Bitcoin, the pioneer of digital currencies, is based on it.

The technology enables registration and tracking of the money in the system, including balances and transactions, for all users of the system at the same time. It is important to understand that if until recently the prevailing explanation was that blockchain technology has a right to exist only because of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies based on it, then the picture is much more rosy in terms of technology - it seems to accompany us in various walks of life.

Along with voices claiming that many resources are invested in the development of blockchain technology without the certainty that this technology will survive over time, there are many other voices heard across the globe, arguing that using blockchain technology is bringing the future to us and taking part in a revolution that will change our lives significantly .

Blockchain for food, real estate and health
Thus, alongside cryptocurrencies, new uses for blockchain technology are currently being developed in various industries.

In the US, Walmart, the giant retail chain, has filed a patent application based on the use of blockchain technology that will allow the company to improve tracking of shipments in various aspects, including: location, temperature and delivery content. Sensitivity of some of the products shipped.

Other food giants, such as Nestle, Kroger and other companies in the food industry, have partnered with computing giant IBM to develop use of a blockchain system to improve food tracking.

The applications in the world also slide into the field of real estate and digital health, where developments leading to change have recently been presented, mainly in the way in which medical information will pass between the various factors.

In Israel, there are a number of companies, in various industries, that are looking to develop services and products based on blockchain technology -

Wave is developing a system that will make it possible to transfer and confirm bills of lading digitally, thus overcoming the need to bring the original document from the bank to the shipping company, as required today (a wider move is currently being made by IBM and logistics and shipping giant Marsk). Maritime trade).

QED-IT is developing a system that allows a claim to be tested in a database without revealing the content of the information itself. This allows the defense industry, for example, to test components without knowing their specific use.

BloxTax is developing a system that allows anyone to know exactly how much they have earned or lost on tokens or cryptocurrencies and to report to the tax authorities in accordance with the law, by collecting and weighting the data from the blockchain network.

I believe that it's an algorithm thing. Since you aren't acting like most people on facebook then you have tall poppy syndrome and the algo locks your account and sends you a notice to provide more evidence that you are who you say you are. Then since they basically have no customer service you either do what their AI says or your account stays locked.

I watched this the other day:

Michael Malice: Anarchy, Democracy, Libertarianism, Love, and Trolling | Lex Fridman Podcast #128

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIk1zUy8ehU

He's apparently a self-professed anarchist, and it really doesn't sound at all like the totally crazy ideology it's made out to be in the press. I disagree with plenty of what he said here and there, but he's not some total lunatic, he's actually very intelligent. I'd say a lot of things he talked about actually deserve a seat at the "adults table" for a change, it's starting to seem like the "adults" have had a bit too much to drink and are acting irresponsibly.
I've noticed while listening to podcasts that the most frequent ads I hear on ad supported podcasts are for other podcasts. It always makes me stop and think that the podcaster is paid by podcasters who want to attract my attention so other podcasters will pay them in the hopes of attracting an audience for their podcasts.
if you could please explain what pubsub has anything to do with those?

By and large you will have to go and learn a lot of new areas and try to improve and optimize each of them with the help of your unique abilities, for example I am a computer vision expert and suddenly the writer annoys me about fruits and vegetables, or the food industry physically tests products to identify failures and the like

My camera is fairly old at this point, but has both methods. Unfortunately, when doing contrast detection AF, it may stop down the aperture if it's too bright. This extends your depth of field, and your camera will then tell you parts of the image are in focus when they will not be when you take the shot.

Really frustrating.

Git itself doesn't have a concept of pull requests; you are expected to just send a request for someone with access to the remote repository to do the pull themselves. Someone with access to the remote repository would need to take some action themselves before anything is actually downloaded to it.

Once the contents of the PR are in the remote repository, it is possible to completely delete them. First, you need to make them unreachable by any reference (which is to say, not in the history of any branch or tag). Then you can run the git garbage collector to actually delete the commits associated with the PR.

I don't think there is any way to tell the garbage collector to prune specific commits; so you will also loose any other orphan commits; but that probably isn't a problem.
My experience with gstreamer consists almost entirely of battling with the system's package manager trying to install whichever codec packs I need and then convincing a gstreamer-powered media player to recognize said plugins and actually play my media. This process ended in frustration more often than it should've.

By contrast ffmpeg-powered projects tend to just work out of the box with practically any set of files imaginable… much more pleasant.

> Schools being kept open in the belief that it is actually a net benefit. Not being a significant contributor to the spread while parents are freed up to do important work. It’s been the goal all along to keep health care capacity above demands.

> Last I heard it is still believed that there is no scientific basis supporting masks as an effective measure, if beneficial at all. (It’s often mention with a reiteration that the primary measure for any person with symptoms is to stay at home)

I believe this is correct. Masks only work in sterile environments and only if they are truly medical grade. I see people sniffling all over their masks and they are probably hosting tons of bacteria for the wearer. And people touch them and then touch other things.

While I personally agree that buying a 6-figure vehicle is excessive, you can make this argument about anything that you don't strictly need for survival. What's the threshold for something to be a "luxury status symbol", and who gets to decide that? My vehicle cost roughly $18,000 and I considered that expensive. Does that mean I get to scold you for thinking people "need" a $30K vehicle?

it absolutely is not in any way reasonable.

you must take down the content without question and then, after filing a counter-notice wait 10-14 days minimum before it can be restored [1]:

"After a counter notice has been received, a service provider must wait 10-14 days before they can reactivate the claimed infringing content."

I had great experiences using a 'game maker' on my childhood (RPG Maker 3 on PS2). However, I couldn't share what I made, so I started seeing the hours of work I'd need to make something substantial as a waste.

I think having an easy way to share your game should be a priority. Clearly the web can be used to emulate and share almost anything now, so some kind of exporting system and web player would be ideal.
Hasn’t this infection already run its course? Ignoring the fact that we’re way past the peak rate of infections (*hospitalizations, not simply cases), the likelihood of fatality is somewhere in the 0.3-0.01% range. That doesn’t mean it’s harmless just that we’ve dealt with infections of this scale before with orders of magnitude less disruption to life. I’m no fan of trump but looking at the data I’m having a hard time understanding why this is still a topline global concern. If I am factually incorrect please point out how.

> It's probably more important/responsible to plug leaks than to day-dream about Mars, but part of me is wondering at what point we'll ever be done plugging leaks and have the time for big, groundbreaking innovations.

We never have and we never will. The two can be done in tandem, but not sequentially.

When we went to the moon, there were plenty of leaks being plugged. It was a worse society and world back then. Violent crime was higher. Racism was worse. Public health was worse. Famines were a thing. Civil liberties overall was worse. Treatment of the out crowd (e.g. at work) was worse.

There are plenty of leaks to plug, but this should not be a barrier to lofty goals.
That is the point of pandoc.

What I've seen over the last ~25 years is that general purpose computing is a double-edged sword for normal people. The most straightforward reasons for most of the walled gardens are malware, adware, spyware, and ransomware.

Android probably comes the closest to a free market for software that gives normal users some measure of control over their own devices. It requires TPM and secure boot so that there's a viable option for normal people who accidentally install a bad APK. Normal people can't flash EEPROMS by hand to remove rootkits.

I'd love if general computing was pushed as one of the most important things for people to know. I still think that the level of expertise necessary to maintain a malware-free computing experience is beyond the reach of most people. Computer and network security are hard.

> Basically, an addict wants to look genuine, so a lot of genuine patients have to put up with stuff designed to cut off addicts.

It's much stupider than that.

Addicts want the drug.

So all of the indicators of addiction are actually indicators of wanting the drug.

So anyone who wants the drug is, ipso facto, an addict.

There's no element of addicts trying to look more genuine. Look at that list of red flags:

- Complaining of a need for a drug.

- Asking for more of a drug.

- Asking for a particular drug by name.

- Sometimes taking a drug on your own initiative.

I think this is the “virtual trackball” from this SIGGRAPH 1988 paper http://www.math.utah.edu/~palais/Links/Chen_Trackball_3-D_ro... which I think was also the method described in Graphics Gems circa 1990.

A mouse is in general a horrible input device for inputting arbitrary 3d rotations, because it doesn’t have enough degrees of freedom.

By far the best tool is a 3-DOF trackball set up so that arbitrary rotations of the ball are directly converted into rotations in the computer.

Next best is some other physical device with gyro/accelerometer so that (slightly less accurate but still) direct manipulation can be input.

Next best after that is something with multitouch or perhaps one of those 6 DOF “space mouse” devices.

> The UK, Belgium, France, Spain, etc are all neighbors of Sweden. It's ridiculous to isolate Scandinavia.

the population density, demographics, intergenerational living, and healthcare are vastly different between Scandinavia and the rest of Europe.

For example, Sweden has a density of 25/km2, while Belgium has 383/km2. The Stockholm county, the worst hit, has less population density than Lombardy (360/km2 vs 420/km2), while Lombardy has more inhabitants than the whole of Sweden.
You can easily see how population density relates closely with the intensity of the epidemic[0]. See also household size[1]

The one _really_ doing well is Germany.

But as I said: Sweden's choice may have been perfectly good for Sweden! It just doesn't translate as-is to all countries, because each country is different.

Anyway, the problem was never the survival rate, but the overloading of ICU, if that is less likely to happen you'd do very well to not have a lockdown, but this was not and is not the case everywhere.
