I see you guys are using p2p webrtc, and it looks like there is there no media router? Because webrtc can't do a 3-way handshake, traffic will be N^2 as more people join a conversation. Why didn't you guys use a server-side Selective Forwarding Unit or Multipoint Conferencing Unit architecture?
Ben Eater's entire catalog is gold, he gets right to the meat of things, clearly explains what's happening, and makes the subject matter accessible and entertaining.
I always thought it was a shame that `nested`[0] (the stdlib equivalent to your `multi` above) was deprecated in 2.7 and, ultimately, removed in favor of `ExitStack` -- despite its flaws, I think it was more beginner-friendly.

I made a similar mistake waiting for my H1b. I went to the embassy in London to sort it out - didn't work, they denied a tourist visa. Had to wait it out in rented accommodation - nightmare.
Next year I'm applying for citizenship - mainly because I don't want to face GC renewal...
I misremembered the case and forgot it was the police who realized it wasn't a bomb but were trying to prove intent by interrogating him due to Texas's hoax bomb laws...

but exactly like I said above that's an aside, and the entire story just shows how little people understand of the appearance of these things if anything.

If all it takes to convince laypeople to call police on a child is a splayed out alarm clock, how many electronics hobbyists have more than enough contraptions for someone to go on record as saying "I saw a bunch of really suspicious stuff on his desk" after a fire?
Anyone Submit to the Apple Find My Accessory Network?
I recently submitted to Apple's Find My Accessory Program for third parties. Has anyone else submitted to this program? Has anyone else heard back from Apple yet or know ballpark timing for a response?
Dealing with cheating is a complete drag, but I would still never use any of this nonsense if I were teaching a class. It's horribly intrusive and dedicated cheaters are still likely to figure out a workaround.

I'd much rather just assign take-home exams and final projects, or use a synchronous 1-hour exam that everyone takes at the same time.
Programs these days, dating back to the arrival of the PC, are roach motel silos. When you use two or three programs to work on a problem, each program often maintains its own state -- on mobile, often data files as well.

In the "old days" you could work on a task with a single directory (or tree) holding source code, documentation, email, etc and your editor, email program etc would work fine. Now my email is in its own tree, slack messages theirs, bug reports their own, and of course source code in a source tree. What a massive regression.
the parable serves to introduce the idea of fundamental dignity in contrast to conventional notions of reason and merit. and ought not be taken as youve suggested
I've never seen someone publish something that way, (in a video with storyboard art visuals) I think it was a really effective way to demonstrate the issue and your idea.
I’m... European... too... so I’m not sure how that helps.

Why?

Their burgers are BigMac, Quarter Pounder, (and Quarter Pounder WITH stuff), Cheesburger, McDouble, Hamburger, McChicken, Fillet-o-Fish.

While "Mc" is the start of some of the names, it's certainly not a must.

This tosses in a whole other layer of stress and meta-game managing the relationship with the teacher.

I do not do anywhere close to my best work with someone staring at my every move.

For undergrad, I'm much more in favor of deliverable-based approaches. Term projects, problem sets, etc. I think it's cruel to boil such a high-stakes decision to a single-point-of-failure event like a big test. I've heard too many stories where someone had a bad event happen before a test, or just slept poorly, or made a trivial mistake, or got sick, only to be told "too bad".

If cheating is a huge problem, locking down the final step isn't going to fix anything in the long run. It destroys all trust. We need to take a look at the motivations to cheat, even if these reasons are uncomfortable.
It's a start, but I still won't be able to eat a "meal" there due to their usage of beef fat in their french fries.
I can’t imagine McDonald’s is a great option for that, anyway.
You are technically correct that they never said vim/emacs lacks those features. A tiny bit of reading comprehension effort can illuminate the intent of juxtaposed sentences.
imo the main benefit to context manager is reporting errors during cleanup while the main benefit of RAII/destructors is composability.
I don't think so. Go looks to be focusing mostly on systems-level problems and the kinds of applications that orbit that concern.

Java, on the other hand--at least when you control for the confusion around whether "Java" referred to the JVM, the language, the base class library, or the security model--was looking to take on C++ and the kinds of software people were looking to write in 1996 in C++.

You can write line of business software in Go, but that doesn't really feel like its purpose in life. The language fights you a little bit when you try to do that.
What is One Hot Encoding? Why And When do you have to use it?
Used Tandem, it sucked. The app is 250mb of Electron and it shows. I’ve never used something so simple with such a sluggish interface.

It was also really bad for privacy. You have to opt out of “automatically share window titles with everyone”, and Do-Not-Disturb still pops up notifications when people ignore the badge.
Maybe if the team who built healthcare.gov wasn't shit all of this could have been avoided?

Those who cannot work for real tech companies... build poorly performing webpages for Uncle Sam?
I too initially assumed the commenter was being honest, and it took me a while going through code, commit history, and GitHub issues to realize that this wasn't the case.
There is another more nuanced argument, by Colin McGinn, that states that consciousness is a broadly mechanistic system, just not one that human minds are equipped to understand. Which could of course be another type of personal incredulity, but given the general lack of consensus on the subject so far seems possible
Oh, that's what they meant? That's not about signing documents at all, really. It's about whether they will agree to supervise their own quarantine, or whether the state has to do it. Then there was some stubbornness and/or misunderstanding in regards to making that decision and agreement.

"Some health departments have taken it upon themselves to enforce quarantine on people that just tested positive." doesn't really inspire the same kind of outrage.
There's text hidden behind the 2016 panel but I can't make out what it says. Anyone?

I think all the competitors show that there's a huge need right now, but I don't think anyone's quite got it yet. We're currently far ahead in terms of reliability (used for hundreds of paid events every month) and the level to which you can flesh out your environments, but I'm excited to see what the landscape looks like over the next year!

One I'm personally a huge fan of is Mozilla Hubs (https://hubs.mozilla.com/), which is 3D and VR compatible. It's not accessible enough to people today, but it's very, very impressive!
I agree, it's pretty bad. But I don't think it's on the laypeople. The English teacher did the right thing. Could they live with themself knowing they could've stopped a real bombing that killed people? The problem isn't that people will call the police based on some suspicions they have in order to protect others in their community or cooperating with law enforcement and telling them what they know and have observed. What else to do?
I see, that's fair.
You won't have to deal with an army of knights but litigation backed by an army of lawyers on retainer now
Cool article. Do these headers change with HTTP 1, 2, 3? Or are these headers fixed but only the type of connection changes with different HTTP protocols?
On paper it was pretty good. For my experience specifically, my partner had to replace her Pixel 1 multiple times for a broken microphone, and they gave her a refurb which she wasn't happy about. Obviously most people weren't affected but it was common enough to result in a class action settlement.
I've enjoyed for years beetroot burgers - they're not meat but with goat cheese they are epic. These newer plant based burgers do of course address some ethical concerns around meat and certainly seem more sustainable.

With any eye on public health rather than sustainability: I wounder what these plant based burgers will do in the long run. I've been on the keto diet for quite a while now which leans heavily on animal-based fats and proteins, never felt healthier. With animal fats for example most of them are quite good for you. It's some of the plant based fats that are really problematic (typically the ones that melt at room temperature).

I really suspect the "sugar crisis" might actually be the "carbohydrates crisis" (i.e. not just fizzy drinks and sweets, but bread, pasta, rice, cereal, etc). I think most people have diets such that they run off pure carbohydrates 24/7 and then get the "shakes" when they go a few hours without them. I think plant based burgers will still be packed full of carbs, nothing to say of the buns and additional toppings.

I understand that these plant based burgers aim to break the perception of "plants taste awful, meat tastes good", but I wish more was done where it really counts in McDonalds meals, like chips, buns, batter, etc.
I have a feeling this guy is going to regret doing this comic in a month or so.
The naive bijection of REST to table CRUD is both commonplace, and deeply flawed. Fortunately, databases do not have preferences; people do. That's one illustration of why I've found oppositional mindsets unhelpful to design processes. Heck, it's why they executed Socrates.

My first recommendation in any design process is, assume that Conway's law will define your interfaces.
Word. Laser cutting technology is not meant to replace manual labor, it's created to add more possibility, no matter to art or mass production. Nice share!
Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a sense for if this could be network related vs. CPU related? (was your computer fan going off, or is your internet connection spotty?). I agree this is a huge hit to user experience.
I understand. How can you amortize your recent experience while it is fresh?

Let me explain: conventions are powerful. A reason many repositories on github have a "README", "CONTRIBUTING", "CODE_OF_CONDUCT", "LICENSE" files is because of conventions (and sometimes legal requirements).

What would have lowered the barrier to entry for you if you had read it on a project's site or repository?

>You need a sound bite that strips all that away and tells people "See a typo? Submit a pull request!" That's the part non-coders don't understand and aren't being told.

Some sites have that. "See a typo or have feedback?" with links to repository/issues. What would an ideal process for a non-coder be to contribute to any project and/or open-source project?
Well the landsknechts of Germany and Swiss Pikeman were the ones who took down the heavily armored knights of the late Middle Ages. Most of them were from common stock. Probably not in a one on one fight though.
Or admit that it's an ongoing process and incremental results are still worth celebrating.
-80C storage requirement may really complicate distribution logistics even in developed countries. We'd really need special locations to be setup to administer the vaccine, unless it's viable for some reasonable period of time at higher temperatures. Even something like 24-48 hours, so it can be transported on demand from centralized locations to doctors offices, pharmacies, etc.

Otherwise, medical cryo storage is highly specialized and expensive equipment. Definitely not what you'd find in a doctors office or pharmacy. It might be a more convenient option if the vaccine remains viable at much colder temperatures. Somewhat cheaper (though still not cheap) LN2 transport containers ~180C could be used to deliver it to locations, provide a supply of LN2 to keep it cold, and then warm on demand.

The point is, this isn't going to be a rollout that can be done without a lot of infrastructure planning way up front. If the data here is validated and it looks like it's going to get FDA approval, we need to begin planning that stage ASAP.
My old portable devices are often unused because I can't source a new battery.

For example, I would have used an old PowerBook G3 for casual writing, but having no battery both reduced mobility and increased the odds of catastrophic failure if the power cable were bumped.
... but you don't seem to think that the cheese is suffering-free, you just don't particularly care according to your post?
Yeah, and the source for `nested` is a lot easier to follow than ExitStack. Conceptually it's the same as mine, but with a loop rather than recursion, and it'll yield values (not hard to do with a recursive one, I just didn't feel like it): https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/contextlib.py...

Seems like the __new__/__init__ issues exist with ExitStack as well, unlike with `with a, b, c`? So it's not really resolved / improved behaviorally, though ExitStack does have a few new uses (e.g. managing non-context-manager resources).
Thanks! I remember you reaching out in the early days of Online Town, good to see you again here!
It’s an RNA vaccine. RNA degrades at room temperature.
Inuits are often used as a gotcha in support of meat-based diets but it doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. For one thing they're so often brought up because they're the exception, not the rule for human diets, their diet is a consequence of the very dire living conditions in the Arctics that makes agriculture impractical. For an other, their diet is not similar to your average meat lover in modern Europe or USA: a lot of fat, not a lot of carbs, meat is eaten raw (which changes its nutritional content), they eat organs and skin (not just the flesh):

>Vitamins and minerals which are typically derived from plant sources are nonetheless present in most Inuit diets. Vitamins A and D are present in the oils and livers of cold-water fishes and mammals. Vitamin C is obtained through sources such as caribou liver, kelp, muktuk, and seal brain; because these foods are typically eaten raw or frozen, the vitamin C they contain, which would be destroyed by cooking, is instead preserved.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_cuisine#Nutrition
It’s not just weaponry, most of fighting is nutrition, I’m surprised the article doesn’t discuss that. Given that the article says the knights and their weaponry were correlated to wealth and power, I would expect the knights to be better fed than the peasants as well.
In Canada, the poppy is a legally protected symbol that can only be used under permission by the Royal Canadian Legion. It enjoys not only trademark status but additional special legislation that protects the symbol from being used for any purpose other than remembrance and places the symbol under the exclusive care of the Royal Canadian Legion.
> Confused concurrency.

I’m not sure I know what you mean by that.

> If you take a certain view on concurrency, which is "do it as simply as possible, don't break certain rules, don't try to be too clever,"

Is there a list of those rules?
There's only 8 of them but they need it real bad.
It sounds like they probably cooked it wrong. From what I understand cooking both the Beyond and Impossible burgers can be a bit finicky and easy to overcook/undercook, which is part of why they've been so slow in rolling it out to restaurants.

For a point of comparison, last time I had a Beyond burger it had texture basically identical to a beef burger cooked medium (a little more dry than my usual preference).
I think it's easier to spend money protecting a resource when money is being earned from that resource.

And it's also easier for those who want to use a resource to respect the law if there's still a legal way to access the resource.
Wikileaks actively agreed to launder and selectively release Russian military hacked materials for specific political purposes.

Referring to that as journalism is an insult to actual journalists.
Same here. They used a multitude of email addresses so every time I blocked them they eventually used another one and got through. Refunding me 100% of the cost of the USB cable doesn’t replace the port it broke so no thank you. I’d rather people be warned.
I want to complement you on taking a current topic and using it to plug Dolt. I hadn't heard of it before, but I will definitely take a better look at it tomorrow.
> If the government service sucks, then their zero-profit margin should not be a significant enough competitive advantage to drive out competitors.

Except it's not just a zero-profit margin; it's the money that you pay in taxes for that municipal ISP, which you cannot decide to allocate instead to another ISP. If you want to use an alternative ISP, you have to pay both.

If the public ISP doesn't actually receive tax money, then why would the government need to start it? Anyone can start a non-profit ISP.

(Note: I'm not saying I'm against the idea, just arguing a specific point)
I'm curious; is the extra cmp something that's actually required by Rust's semantics, or is this more along the lines of an optimizer bug/missed optimization?
Hopefully this is rolled out to the most vulnerable people first (the 80+ category, or underlying health conditions). I assume there are so far zero repercussions from an ineffective vaccine (i.e no sudden resulting flu)?
Waterproofing or not, phones are almost always effectively hermetically sealed from a convection point of view and do not rely on convection in any form for cooling. I do not see how waterproofing would interfere with conducting heat away.
I think the grandparent meant that the only mystery is that consciousness is supposedly a mystery, not that consciousness doesn't exist.
Hey there, thanks for checking us out! We actually are using an SFU architecture instead of P2P :)
Burger King's had the Impossible Whopper for quite a while now. I feel like the silly estrogen "controversy" probably drove some people to try it just for the memes, including me. It's pretty good in my opinion.
Most of my exams were like that in lower school and there was always enough time if you knew the material. It wasn’t open ended essay.

An exam that has too many people timing out just isn’t a well balanced exam.
The appeal is that it tastes like pizza but without the animal involved.

This study says the IQ gap is 5 points. I don't see in the abstract what direction it's in! Talk about a cliffhanger. ;)

5G in general is important. It means compatibility for the future, access to more towers, and access to more frequencies. So sure, you need mmwave to get gigabits per second, but 5G without mmwave still has a good amount to show off and make sales with.
Sounds similar to when I had a concussion. It was such a minor hit, I didnt even realized I had something that could cause those kinds of side effects. I'm glad you feel better :)
Did they rewrote COBOL parts in Go too?
I've gotten that question before and I agree it's a bit rude. I wonder if questioner has any understanding of how much dev work things take or if they just think that it's trivial and so why not just share it with everyone.
At the famous Battle of Agincourt peasants slaughtered thousands of knights. It was a decisive blood bath against a vastly superior force that allowed Henry V’s conquest of France. This is confirmed by eye witness records both French and English.
Why? What you claim is familiar is "bad" right?
I think you miss the point then. The things it's looking for are indicators security practices are even in place. If you wanted vuln scanning, many solutions for that today exist. This is almost like a reputation score. The higher it is, the more likely vulnerabilities will be addressed in the future (or outright prevented).

I like the idea, I think it will just be tough to work out the right heuristics.
The best way to make concurrency easier is to avoid it in the first place. This requires you to think about how correct your data really needs to be.

For example, a bank balance. Most people would assume that bank balances must always be correct. But this isn't really true. Back in the days when people wrote checks, your bank balance was almost never accurate -- it was on you to keep a local register and know your balance, and if you shared the account with someone else, to reconcile with them frequently. ATMs also use eventual consistency. When you take out $300 from the ATM, it attempts to update the balance, but it will let you take the money out if the bank is unavailable. Because the bank is willing to risk $300 that you aren't overdrawn. In most cases the "eventual" part is nearly instantaneous so you don't notice, but it doesn't actually have to be.

So the number one way to make concurrency easy is to avoid it altogether.
What this article seems to barely touch upon is that the peasants spent most of their time eking out a living, the rich had free time and a culture of practicing their fighting skills at length, and from a young age, too. I would even say that the equipment was a secondary advantage, though still significant.
Those people typically have not had any experiance with benzos and are over perscribed. 3mg is equal to 60mg of valium. Someone with no benzo tolerance getting 60mg of valium is going to blackout and act stupid too.

Working the field all day is going to make someone tough and lean.

If it’s a particular lazy knight that enjoys too much food, well.

Would be an interesting overlap of nutrition vs fitness vs indulgence.
Was there a reason that, in this case, you couldn't all walk closer to each other? We additionally have "private spaces" you can set up so that everyone in that area can see/hear each other: https://gather.town/features#feature-private-spaces . People often use this so that they can sit down on chairs and talk to only the other people at the table.

Yea, I do know that. What I don't know is whether that makes up 95% of their work and the other 5% is maintaining a COBOL app? Yea no thanks.

edit: "quite literal" is absolutely worthless. It would be "quite literal" to post a job saying "You will definitely be paid", and it would convey no information at all.
Thanks so much! Curious why you think it would be nearly impossible to get your team on it?
It’s tricky to follow this issue on Twitter, because tweets are being deleted at a blistering pace. Fun job for future historians...
