This is not a panacea, it will still take time to fully vet the data and it will likely be months before doses start going out and even more months after that until sufficiently large numbers of people have been inoculated before we can even approach normality.
Can you explain this bit [..] The majority of the systems in which we interact; such as societies, culture, mind, economy, gardens, climate, oceans, our bodies, and communities, are all complex systems with positive and negative feedback loops, delays, nonlinear relationships, and emergent properties. The point is, communities scale, our cities, and mechanical systems do not. [..]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading the other entries too.

Here's a video in his 6502 series where he hooks up the 6502 computer he's been building with this video card.

I highly recommend his videos and kits. He's a great teacher.
None, but think of it in the context of time = money. Discussions about self hosting development environments will be filled with people claiming it's not worth the opportunity cost to spend the time setting up and maintaining anything yourself when you can pay $X per month and make it someone else's problem.

In the same context, how long does it take to write something like faker.js? I've never used it, but I see commits that are at least 6 years old and there are 200+ contributors. Is that 1000s of hours? I honestly don't know.

Let's say it's 1000 hours just for an example and that someone worth $100k / year could write it. At $50 / hour that's $50k if you have have to build it in house and you lose out on the value of having 200+ contributors that are familiar with part of the codebase plus tens of thousands of users exposing bugs and edge cases.

So IMHO when you have codebases like this the corporate donations should be in $10k increments.

I would never publish a line of code under the MIT license. It's great for companies that want to popularize their platforms (like Microsoft is doing), but it's terrible for small developers and you'll rarely get any value from those projects.
Ok. Found the Solid FAQ link down thread. https://solidproject.org/faqs

After skimming, PODs sound a bit like IPFS. Intriguing? I'll have to ponder.

It'll take some effort to work thru some use cases, see how PODs could line up. There's so many different types of care, each with its own gestalt (for lack of better term).

Just from memory: Clinic (visit-based, episodic, aka encounter), on going care (chronic conditions, kidneys, cancer), emergency care, ambulances and EMTs, continuity of care stuff (more like a journal or diary), delegation and consults, ad nauseam. This list is only meant to illustrate that interaction patterns for consent (grants & revoke), access, and life spans are many and varied.

But just know ahead of time that I'm not optimistic that Solid & PODs bring anything new or practical to the table.
I never said people couldn't respond to them. I said I wasn't going to debate it. Saying “so you admit defeat” (or the many, many variations) whenever someone exits a heated part of a debate is a textbook jab, and has no place in honest conversation.

Well that settles it then. We’ll just wait for a few more years to see what the long term side effects are.
Lol you vastly overestimate the capabilities of the US Gov and Military. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if you can't get a dose if you want one until well into 2021.
In case anyone else was interested what the justification is:

1) Counterfeit cartridges may cause damage to your HP LaserJet printer hardware – which can lead to downtimes of the whole company’s printing infrastructure and disruption of entire workflows.

2) Manufacturing and distributing counterfeit items is illegal. So, buying fakes may bring you and your organization into contact with shady business which may be operated by large-scale criminal syndicates.

3) Counterfeit toner cartridges may alter the printing behavior of your HP printer. When using Original HP toner cartridges, only then can HP printing systems perform within Blue Angel guidelines limits.

4) Due to their often poor print quality and necessary re-prints, counterfeits are likely to waste valuable resources such as paper or energy. Also at the end of life, counterfeits likely don’t get recycled.

Ok, name one building block type piece of software that isn't open source and is a market leader.
Yes, the project is great and very useful.

I wish the HW companies either document their devices or pay someone who understands software to work on it instead just releasing nearly working prototypes and then continuing to another project abandoning HW with old kernels.

I got burned by AllWinner once and will not buy devices using them unless I have a very good reason. :)
I find it interesting they removed this from their channel.
As a developer, I want my job to be about producing software. Handling the nitty gritty of commercial licensing is something I will happily leave to people who studied to do it.

I also reject the notion that everything should be commercialized, OSS is the antithesis of it.
Hardly unique to America, tons of countries offer "Golden Visas" where committing enough resources to the country gets you an expedited or guaranteed Visa. The exact amount and details depend on the country, with richer countries obviously costing more, but tons of countries will straight up let you buy residency or citizenship. A few examples:

America - $900,000 investment for permanent residency (EB5)

Ireland - €1.0 million investment (plus €2.0 million net worth) for permanent residency for your family

Portugal - purchase and renovate at least €350,000 in property for residency, with an expedited path to citizenship

Germany - €360,000 investment for 3 year residency with a path to citizenship after 8 years

UK - £2 million investment for 3 year residency with a path to citizenship after 6 years.
Saying he "called somebody something mean" is a somewhat reductionist way of referring to a months-long ordeal that included hiring a (fake) "private investigator" and trying to push his "findings" to the media.

If you or I spent $50,000 to smear someone because they weren't sufficiently servile to us we might face some social and legal consequences but of course the rules work differently for "heroes" like Musk with virtues such as money.
They're missing too many keys I consider.. critical, home/end, insert/delete, F-Keys, a modern 10-key layout - as I'm typing this on a modern production Model M, I'm hard pressed to tell what makes these better than the unicomp ones I have now.
This sort of writing is great, it gives you a docs-in-a-box that's so important for selling to and pitching giant companies.

Are there still giant companies anymore that don't author things for their own needs?

Anyone who can afford to write and adopt a literal playbook, written this long, digested at such a slow speed - anyone who has a team of people who disseminate software playbooks will have full time development staff.

Anyway, if you're a software developer, read some new fiction first before reading this book.
Also bad:

What did they use to stabilize the mRNA?

If they’re managing to do it with just temperature and maybe glycerol, that’s great.

If it’s RNAlater, then that’s going to have safety issues. If it’s something else, how was the additive tested for long term safety? (Vaccines like this have been in the works for a long time. There has been time for safety studies.)

Edit: RNAlater MSDS sheet: https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/msds/2012/AM7020_...
$699 does indeed seem quite reasonable (or at least comparable with how much iPhones have always cost).

My wife applied for a renewed US passport 8 months before an international trip. 7 months and dozens of calls, emails and letters later, we had no response besides "we are busy and can't tell you when we will be done, but it will not be sooner than a month."

My mother recommended that we contact our local congressperson, David Price. I was extremely doubtful that anything would come of it. We had never had any contact of any kind with him or anyone who knows him before. We are not wealthy or have any special status. We wrote an email to his office, two days later his office called us to tell us that they had contacted the passport agency, and the next day fedex delivered a renewed passport that had been overnighted to us.

I did some research and this is actually pretty common. If you want something like a phone call or letter of inquiry to a federal agency, congresspeople are generally happy to do it because it's easy to do and generates goodwill.
It doesn’t explain why if sideloading is what people want, they don’t just buy Android.

People keep trying to say this is about them being denied choice, and yet the choice they say they want is widely available.
>informed decisions

This is the point of contention here, imo. Jailbreaking, sideloading, and turning on developer modes are not always informed decisions. I've personally serviced hundreds of iPhones that have had all these things done because someone followed a set of instructions without knowing what they were doing or had someone else turn the option on without informing them and then they were exposed.
Contact tracing has been working in South Korea and many other countries from the beginning.
there are a few languages guaranteed to terminate:

- JSON

- YAML

- TOML

- all dialects of INI

- CSV

i don't see these languages getting recursion added anytime soon, but you might want to program in them, so you add recursion with jinja or whatever.

if you want a configuration language that is guaranteed to terminate, you may want to end up with a turing-incomplete language: https://dhall-lang.org/

Can you define IT? Do you mean the infrastructure the company uses to conduct business, like laptops, email, etc.? Or do you mean everything inclusive of the core technical parts of the company?

If it is a technology oriented company where tech is a core part of it, in-source. Outsourcing (using SaaS as an example) is good for things that aren't a core competency.

I was thinking on how to respond to you, but realized you are not saying anything at all.
When purchasing a house, I would type in the address to centurylink’s website to find out if fiber was available. I didn’t see any old houses (even built in 2000) with it. All the ones that had fiber were developments built in 2015+
Out of 45,000 people, only 86ish people got infected in the trial arm? Isn't that too few? Even for the control arm, that's still only 774 people infected.
You're probably lucky that there's no built-in firmware that prevents that, because they will and probably do have protections, like a print / usage counter in the cartridge itself.
Do you remember DRM on K-cups?
I agree that this sort of stuff is awful, and I don't support it one bit. But the reality is that provisions like this aren't going to make it into the final bill, and there's no indication that this is some kind of red line - just a negotiating position. Similarly the republicans are also setting their demands up in a way they know democrats will never accept: a low relief figure, excessive corporate protection from liability towards employees.

I don't like it one bit (and I've always favored targeted bills), but there's also no real indication that this provision is what is holding things up - right now, all the talk is about the dollar amount. Senate republicans can't even pass the 1T amount for the HEALS act right now, and are facing severe internal division over the proposed amount.
That's Thalidomide which wasn't a vaccine.

A more relevant example is Pandemrix, a flu vaccine launched in the EU in 2009. A year later it was discovered that it seems to increase the risk of narcolepsy in teenagers sixfold. The vaccine was produced and licensed in an expedited fashion because of a "pandemic" (of swine flu), which used a then-new and slightly experimental technique (adjuvants) which interestingly, German doctors flagged up as a risk and suggested the German government use a different H1N1 vaccine that was less experimental.

It's free as freedom, not beer. GNU seemingly doesn't want to use 'libre' because Indians might not understand it or something, which IMHO is ridiculous considering how often this confusion is made !

Otherwise, I get that E.S.Raymond has furiously anti-leftist political views, and I can respect that, but IMHO he should be held accountable for the current situation…

EDIT : Also, isn't it fairly ironic of someone using the closed and Microsoft-owned Github to complain about these issues ?
>Whatever the case, developers are starting to believe that voluntary free open source contribution is for smucks.

In today's environment, it kind of is for shmucks. How many times have I seen the same tired FreeBSD copypasta about how FreeBSD powers netflix and playstation, and won't I please donate because netflix and sony are parasites who won't pony up the dough to keep FreeBSD solvent.

Why on earth would anyone directly subsidize these CEOs when they could get paid to do it instead?
The Constitution mentions no right to drive cars. Nevertheless, attempts to limit drivers' licences by arbitrary criteria would receive a cold reception in the courts. The government is required to treat everyone with due process.
>One of the lead doctors in the UK is saying life will start to look normal in Spring 2021 (albeit, I assume he was referring to the UK alone). There's good reason for cautious optimism & patience.

I'm sure they have no incentives to say that right. The reality is that the UK and many others are in the middle of a massive surge of cases. The idea that life will be "normal" a few months from now in Spring seems farcical.
Canadian politician offices typically have constituent services. They usually have access to MP-only phone numbers to sort out regular snafus (often immigration related). But if you’ve been caught in a systematic issue that the government created, and your MP belongs to that party, your MP is unlikely to take any action whatsoever.

You can also email the prime minister and sometimes they’ll forward it to the Minister responsible and then they have to reply. Just make sure to phrase it as a non-systemic issue when it was a systemic issue they created ;)
I'm with you here -- constraints like that can definitely be useful! The constraint of slowing down to write by hand is also useful for me in this context.

Russia has a vaccine with 100% effectivity.
Oh I totally agree, as with seemingly most of us here, I don't value status symbols very highly. That doesn't mean I don't understand why other people do.
Then don't be surprised when you don't fix the problem.

You can try drugs but it may not work and may have side effects. You might end up worse off just because you tried.

However attempting to summon some focus and willpower from within is completely free and may even work. All you need to do is try it. You won't give yourself a stroke by trying it, but adderall might.

The real victim blamer is the one who solicits advice and then discredits and insults the person who took time to give advice for free out of the kindness of their heart.
> when there is no good faith way to see 'real, legitimate, reasons ... believe what they believe'

That's exactly my point. There is. It's not impossible to come to understand the life experiences that led a person into a dark place where they feel attacked and choose to wrap themselves in fantasy to feel empowered.

> I can't attempt to understand first

While it may make you feel good and superior to reject these people outright, by refusing to do so, you become part of the problem.

> And that's just one of the more extreme examples I could spend all night typing more

I can't stress this enough: WHAT they believe is basically irrelevant to my point. If your response to what I say involves "extreme examples", you've missed (accidentally, or purposefully) my point.
Ooooh they could have named it Dug. Then you'd have DigDug. On the other hand, this isn't really dig-but-in-rust, so I suppose there is no real reason to relate it.

It does look neat when comparing it to the classic output you have in some other tools; not always the easiest to spot the records in then a lot of debug information that looks the same as 'output' information is often stacked on top of each other making it less readable and even without the colouring this looks like a better fit if you simply want to look at some records.

IoT is just the sexy name for embedded, and folks have been doing embedded remotely for a long time. You need someone local to set things up (just like you need on-prem IT folks to deal with equipment), but for 95% of the use cases, you can set up simulators, cameras, and remote access equipment to develop embedded software.

But when it's your sacred cows that science is slaying, you're not a "denialist", you're just wisely cautious about misinterpreting narrow studies, that are confounded by environmental and social influences, and in any case were produced by a systemically racist institution with a problematic history of justifying human rights abuses.

Though that never stops you from proclaiming what you'd want the studies to say as undisputed fact. It only becomes "complicated" when the studies say the wrong thing.
I would avoid gender-izing business or product names. There is a trend in the tech industry to remove gender and racial terms from our dictionary.

Think that's just over the horizon, which should be a positive but really it just completes the circle that iOS is all Apple needs and MacOS is the legacy system that will eventually be deprecated.
No bullying, but Facebook wanted a change in one of my repos. The engineer said it was important for “security”, but had no motivation to contribute: https://github.com/wbond/asn1crypto/issues/59. Eventually I ended up having to do the work because other organizations didn’t like that I didn’t bundle 3MB of test fixtures with the releases on PyPi.
If you publicly acknowledge any role in offsetting a problem, it becomes your fault that the problem is not completely solved [1]. I expect that associating yourself with a government program would make you even more hated, unless that program is 100% successful. Imagine every time someone drives over a pothole they see your face.

Note that their is a distinction. While arguably even the ESTA is too much paperwork compared to what US citizens going the other way under these visa-free agreements face, it's a short form you fill out online that gets automatically approved within 12 hours for 95% of cases. It's when you get denied for this system (and yes, this can be for arbitrary reasons which they won't disclose), that things go wrong. It would not surprise me if the logic went "owns domain haxx + curl is used in hacker tools (and many many more legitimate uses, but some agent doesn't care)", "possible hacker", "put on list that causes ESTA denials".

And the chance to litigate it, since denying entry or a Visa is reviewable by court, while an ESTA is not.

Most countries probably favour the government in decisions about the former, but it at least means you can force them to give up more details (e.g. FOIA).
Almost every project I worked on had a shitty version of faker, written in half an hour for specific needs. It’s a very cosmetic thing, as you’d never rely on this type of dataset for testing actual behaviour of critical code.
