Eh, personally I disagree with this. I hate having 'TODO' lists for stuff like this, I like keeping ideas/notes. Maybe it's just a difference in the naming convention.

Another similar example - I no longer keep a 'reading list' or a 'someday maybe' list, I just have a series of bookmarks and notes that's searchable if I need to reference them for something in the future.

Either it's important enough to do now, or it's important enough to forget until it's important enough to do now.
I legitimately forgot about that until just right now.

I would absolutely LOVE that count on some websites, just to see the traffic.
Reading the graph posted, you may think we stopped tracking the flu. However, it's not clear yet whether that is the case, and the charts from 2019 show that.

Here are the charts for 2019 and 2020 in the US*: https://imgur.com/a/HvBJoj2 (Note the axes are on different time scales unfortunately).

They are very similar with two major exceptions.

1. Week 13, about March 23rd, there is a dip lower, presumably due to the lock downs.

2. There was no activity throughout this spring and summer, but that's typically the case as the 2019 chart shows. 2020 is even lower (virtually no cases). While this could be due to lack of reporting, it could also be due to social distancing and masking.

We are currently in Week 44 of 2020. During week 44 of 2019 cases began to uptick slightly and then increased parabolically into the winter. We should expect the same in 2020. And this will be how we really know if flu testing is suppressed. Anyone claiming anything otherwise is speculating.

Anecdotally, my sister caught a bug recently that tested negative for COVID, and the physician suspected the flu. However, he couldn't test for flu since there was no capacity for flu testing.

The title is very catchy and misleading. The WHO's virus circulation graph and the text did NOT describe it as "Completely Disappeared in 2020." It did reporting having seen very minuscule amount of flu virus detected, instead.

Edit: now the title has been updated, it's more accurate
It's not really a "this place" thing. There's been a legitimate political realignment on this topic. I think most Americans would identify the site's slogans

as right-wing in the modern context. (I don't think "far right" and "conspiracy theory" are fair labels, though.)
In that case, I guess these people have nothing against the government taking away all of their farm subsidies, too. Better safe than "socialist".
You don't have a firm grasp on censorship and total control over social discourse. Forbidden means precisely that.

Back in my old country, before I foolishly immigrated to the land of "the free" (drum drum), political commentary was first turned into satire and then that was embedded in children's stories, and you had that interesting phenomena of adults passing around children's stories. Good times.

All authoritarian system are fundamentally psychological in nature. Brute force is theraputical. The ultimate objective is acceptance of authoritative narrative. The content matter is entirely irrelevant. Recall in 1984, Winston is being asked "how many fingers?" and "what does 2+2 equal?". Outside of fiction, recall the Church of Rome asserting it's authority by modifying commandments. Rationality, authenticity, applicability, or heaven help us, veracity, are not even variables in the equation of Authoritarian Control Over Information and Social Discourse.

Big question then it's what is the entanglement "key" and its properties. Or how to even brute force it.

Note that I'm not dissing other languages. Each language has their pros and cons. It just happens so that Rust is my current sweet spot for the kind of applications I currently need to write.

My main point in this particular discussion is that Rust has way fewer gotchas than most other languages used in the industry, including Python and JavaScript. Whether these gotchas are problems for your use cases, only you know. I know that such sleepless nights tracking such gotchas have killed my will to write and maintain large codebases in Python or JavaScript (or C++), at least for a few years.

> It shows that, in some binary systems, the two black holes have misaligned axes of rotation, which would imply that they formed separately. But many other binaries appear to have roughly aligned axes of rotation, which is what astrophysicists expect when the two black holes began their lives as a binary star system.

This is mindboggling -- you can tell two black holes from thousand of light years away had misaligned axes of rotation by measuring the effect they have on lasers bouncing some mirrors.
It says it runs locally, but on the homepage there is a counter "113,045 images blocked" which gives the first impression the extension is reporting back data.
Hi, glad you liked the series so far. Part 4 about the edge deployment is in progress and will (hopefully) be out soon.
I think it's interesting how quickly this posting dove down the rankings, even though it has over 300 upvotes.

Seems to be hitting some nerves.
Because they're not reported cases, but sampled cases, so whether reported goes up or down doesn't really matter as the sampling is consistent.

For a really cool explainer about the human-wolf relationship in North America I highly recommend this video from The Brain Scoop, the YouTube channel of The Field Museum in Chicago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA-QINoEEwQ

As detailed in the video, the endangered species act is built upon the idea that there is a clear line between species, but in the case of grey wolves there are a lot of coyote-wolf hybrids out there, which aren't well studied because the funding is mainly available for 'The grey wolf'. Nature is fuzzy while the law is less so.
Apologies, I re-phrased the title to be accurate.
But why should they? What good is served by allowing mailchimp to even just make it slightly harder for people they disagree with to express themselves?
"part-time" is not something I would ever describe teaching as. All the teachers I've seen take huge amounts of work home with them, even on vacation. There may be a slight lull in the summer but it's filled with training, learning changes in the curriculum, etc. It's not uncommon for teachers to pay for classroom materials out of pocket because the schools are unable or unwilling to pay for them (this would be utterly ridiculous in many other industries). Teaching is something you go into because you enjoy it or it satisfies you on some level and you can put up with ridiculous workloads, not because it pays well.
No, I think you're on target.

Data Logging: Sampling versus Profiling
>Waymo says its vehicles were involved in 47 “contact events” with other road users, including other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Eighteen of these events occurred in real life, while 29 were in simulation. “Nearly all” of these collisions were the fault of a human driver or pedestrian, Waymo says, and none resulted in any “severe or life-threatening injuries.”

While Waymo's statements may have been technically true, the pedestrian blaming at least strikes me as a bit tone deaf. Of course, pedestrians can do really stupid things. But, generally speaking, drivers have a lot of responsibility to still avoid hitting them under most circumstances.

ADDED: The language that caught my eye is the Verge's and Waymo is just the facts. But pedestrians and cyclists are in general concerning because it doesn't take much. Even though a a pedestrian walking into the side of a suddenly(?) stopped vehicle is probably not generally a bad outcome.

Sensitivity is getting much better, vibrational isolation, processing, this run I believe even includes elements that reduce the noise produced from quantum uncertainties [0]. The uncertainty principle means the product of two measurements (positionmomentum, timeenergy, conjugate variables in general) can't be more precise than a certain threshold, so if you only care about one value of that pair, you can dump all the uncertainty into the unmeasured quantity and get past what might otherwise be considered a barrier.

Yes - I think it's absolutely necessary to distinguish between "political", and "partisan". Not everything has to be partisan, and jamming everything into the two-party framework has a destructive Procrustean effect that leads to people making all kinds of increasingly stupid claims.

wow. amazing. You have great skills. I bet that if you spent your time working on making programming tools easier, you will be able to beat most low-code, no code products in the market.
The first tagged release on Delve's GitHub is from 2014, but I have no idea if it was public at the time or not.
As someone that’s maintained an E2E test harness in PHP including internal dispatching, having multiple DBs active in a test suite, having multiple active sites running and communicating with each other, handling integration tests to Elastic, Sphinx, and Memcached, I really don’t think it’s such a big deal to spend a day or 2 plumbing out your test harness for a “big” app.

A big app takes years of work, and along the way you be building utility functions to easily stand up test data. It’s not that hard and you don’t need it all at once.
News readers can demand the truth either way (ad-funded, government-funded, corporation-funded, or reader-funded), and they're probably most likely to get it when they pay for it directly. It's the least worst way to get your news I'd say.
I don't even know if some of the authors are aware that their contents are now behind a paywall. Yet, people keep recommending those articles as if they're openly accessible (because for some reason they have access). Yesterday someone linked to this series from Guido van Rossum https://medium.com/@gvanrossum_83706/peg-parsers-7ed72462f97.... I opened and was greeted with this message:

That's the whole problem. Greenwald doesn't call himself a columnist, he calls himself a journalist. The Intercept doesn't publish his articles as opinion pieces, they publish them as news. You can't publish that article as a news piece with any sort of credibility.
It's just like Dr Katz.
> How else one is supposed to read environment variables from XSLT?

Setting aside whether it’s even a good idea to allow XSLT to do that, XPath is only a subset of XSLT, so you’re just changing the subject. The “path” in XPath should be a hint at what it’s supposed to be: a query language to select nodes by path in XML documents. As opposed to an alternative of Awk, or Perl.
Saxon supports all xpath versions though? It also bundles some very dangerous functions, some of which xcat can take advantage of.
Nope. I'm just wondering what the sentiment is. I've obviously struck a nerve. "Oh no paywall!" for a site that pays its authors.

Now, if it ripped the authors off or engaged in other shitty tactics, then that's one thing. But nobody is responding with that kind of information. It's all a response against the paywalls, and I'm trying to figure out if it's knee-jerk or not.

I mean, aren't people allowed to make a living by teaching others?
Two different things.

On the note of twitter, they should have just banned Trump and told him "it's a free country" years ago. The fact they are censoring #trump while not banning him comes off as extremely weak. It's exactly the kind of move that makes liberals seem hairless and under-handed.

MailChimp on the other hand is primarily a ad/spam tool. They do have transactional email abilities, but any email that isn't transactional is (IMO) ad/spam. The whole point of ad/spam is to manipulate people... it's not a conversation. Limiting what type of mass manipulation they allow is very different from not letting people talk about whatever they want.
A mod loader for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst broke in a Windows 10 update. That’s actually quite important to me, because I use a mod in order to fix a major problem (xp-gated ability upgrades) in what is otherwise one of my favorite games.

The mod loader’s author fixed it, but I wonder what the outcome would have been if this broke 15 years after the game’s release, instead of after just a few years.
81k is kind of a shitty sample size to make a sweeping worldwide judgement for 7+billion.

Next part, since the focus of 2020 was Covid testing, I'm pretty sure flu testing resources were lessened in the process, if not borderline ignored.

At what point was it okay to judge a population on 0.0000001157142% sample size?

While I'm not a fan of the WHO anymore, to be fair to them, where the hell do they say the flu disappeared? This title is disingenuous.

My point is that if you are free to change provider without having to quit access to your existing network (same username/handle and connections), then you are free to backup your data and move it around to different social media providers.

At that point you are not at the will of one centralized company. If you feel like your rights are being violated, you can change provider.

I don't think there's disagreement - my score from 2016 is the one this article is about. The max is whatever the game's RNG will give you, and is probably somewhere close to 1.3m.

As top-tier play has gotten better, the ceiling has increased. We used to think this score was about as good as it was going to get, but only a few years prior, we thought the max was closer to 1.15m. Wild how things change.
Just like the guy that take his stuff from the back of a van, Best Buy can't compete with him too! It's crazy. It's crazy how much better you can offer a service by not paying for what you offer.

If instead of taking money for taxes, we actually paid them 1% interest per year, we'd get 100% participation. Probably more than 100%.

You should try Pyramid. It can scale from a single file app to enormous size. It has a very active user community, excellent documentation and a vast ecosystem of extensions and add-ons.

But the vast majority of samples are coming from people who will ultimately survive, but who have respiratory illness. Anyhow, scientists have considered testing bias.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6937a6-H.pdf

“Initially, declines in influenza virus activity were attributed to decreased testing, because persons with respiratory symptoms were often preferentially referred for SARS-CoV-2 assessment and testing. However, renewed efforts by public health officials and clinicians to test samples for influenza resulted in adequate numbers tested and detection of little to no influenza virus.”

I worked for a game studio that was acquired by Sierra in late 1995. Being acquired by Ken and Roberta was surreal; they were two of my idols from childhood gaming and they were every bit as great to work for (via multiple layers of bosses) as you'd hope. They were gamers; they cared about people having fun playing games. They were also hard-nosed about their development teams creating product that would achieve that goal. I remember having to answer to Ken in person in a meeting about what my plan was to get my title shipped. He was firm and fair, but he didn't like my hand-waving at the schedule and task-breakdown. (He'd come to visit our studio in general, not to ream me out about shipping late, but he was spot on that I'd not been diligent enough in my prep and planning. We didn’t call it that, but my burndown chart was not tilted downward.)

Every step along the rest of the journey with Sierra was a nightmare for employees. CUC, Cendant, Vivendi, and maybe there was another link in the chain, but I got fed up and quit in spring of 1997. We had incredibly talented and passionate artists (2D and 3D) and along the way a lot of that got shipped out of country to artists who seem to have never seen an American auto race. Several employees sued over shenanigans with our stock options treatment; I didn't join in (though perhaps I should have as I think we were getting screwed). IMO, the acquirers just sucked all the fun out of the room and a lot of talented devs and producers left. If you're not having fun working in computer gaming, you might as well go not have fun someplace that pays well.

Ken and Roberta are two of the good ones in my book.

I'm dismissing it because it doesn't seem to contain any evidence of Joe Biden doing anything bad. It seems like someone hacked his kid's email, went through it for embarrassing stuff, didn't find much, and so released it very close to the election because there wasn't enough dirt there to sustain a longer scandal.

I don't think the GP was speaking of "misinformation" as an alias for "mistruth", I read it as "disinformation", and that is an excellent method where true facts can cover over the larger reality. This is a case in point. Every minute we talk about liberal bias, people stop talking about other things. Arguably, policy on a pandemic that's killed 210,000 people is more important than whether a candidate's son used his last name as cache in a business deal.
Things like that have bad incentive structures and will be gamed

XPath 3 and XQuery 3 are powerful and great technologies to query XML if you need that stuff. The problem is that most implementations cover XPath 1.0 because I guess it is too difficult (i.e. time consuming and involved) to produce a 2.x or 3.x implementation, let alone with full W3C XML Schema support. There is also BaseX which implements XQuery 3.x which is a nice native XML database. I really dig XML and its technologies. I wish XQuery 3.x was available everywhere.
I did something similar for a high speed (10k rpm) stepper motor driver. We were emulating a legacy system and needed to do a 24 bit/16 bit divide, which took a long time. Even worse was that when the speeds increased, we had less time to do the computation. I came up with a trick: when the denominator changed to above a certain value, I knew the output's MSB would be zero, so I switched to a more efficient division routine that computed fewer bits. It was enough to get us smooth performance without running out of time.
