Supporting Amazon’s competition is the way to go. The next one I know of is shopify that is essentially an ecommerce platform hosting thousands of small stores. But they don’t have the vision to unite them (yet).
Ive been using this since your post way back at the start of the lockdowns. We have a small company, 5 people, and it works great for us to meet up. Itd be cool to have some slack-like features, maybe charater bots you or vhs/answerphone you coukd record messages too for people who join later. A forest where each tree is a repo in our github and we can indicate which branch we are on.
Also being able to emote /dance etc and consumable status items would be cool. I guess find the balance of fun and productive ha
Is this an intentional mischaracterization or didn't you read the whole article?
Still on the topic of sand, but more related to its dynamics than its softness, I would like to recommend the work of Per Bak [1].

Among other things he investigated and modeled the frequency and magnitude of avalanches in piles of sand, work that lead to the concept of self-organized criticality [2].

I've tried those a couple of years ago, but aren't they still based on older versions of Firefox?

My idea here was taking the latest version of Firefox and just fix the worst problems. I'd still pay for it.

Sure, I just wanted to point out that other places seem to have a much higher bar for denying entry to visa holders. A lot of the anecdotes in this thread would probably make the news if it happened in Australia, but seem to be unremarkable occurrences in the US.
But why would the timing of this step matter?
I think it's more clear to say that headers are usually specified separate from the protocols these days, so there are new headers introduced after HTTP/1.1, but they are not usually introduced in the core HTTP spec but rather in separate RFCs that usually apply to HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

The only new header in the HTTP/2 RFC is specifically for HTTP/2 upgrades from HTTP/1.1: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-3.2.1

Did you read the quote you just posted? It says "And some, I assume, are good people." As in "not literally all of them are rapists".
I've had the same experience with Doom (2016). The most irritating thing was the reduced input latency on Linux, which threw me off for the first few hours. After getting used to it I only boot to Windows for UWP games.
It's different now - because of the strict quarantine requests, coupled with the knowledge that there's no known treatment/vaccine, coupled with the fact that you have literally tens of thousands of cases per day - means that people don't cooperate that much, and the system is already over-stretched.

Also, "hasn't worked at scale anywhere is false" - AFAIK it worked fairly well in South Korea, Japan, New Zeeland, China.

IMO the key is always to be compositional. E.g. here you should be able to separate the batching up requests from the performing network calls, and then you can test and reason about both pieces separately. I find the iteratee model is really good for this.

I gave up on git stash because over time I would end up with too many stashes that I couldn't keep straight in my head. Now I just make temporary branches and cherry pick from them as needed.
One thing which is pretty obvious imho but often overlooked...

It doesn't matter how many tanks you have when your opponent has atomic bombs. The same is true for most of the airplanes, ships and robots.

So from a western perspective all those weapons are only useful in an offensive war against a weak opponent (no atomic bombs).

In this context it also makes sense to have less but better trained soldiers. Reducing casualties reduces bad press. You don't need millions of soldiers to bomb away Irak anyway.

If you assume that military leaders have basic logic reasoning (i think they are smart actually), you see that self defense is not the primary goal for western countries (except Switzerland).

Product Idea Validation: Testing and Researching Ideas to Ensure Product Success
I believe it must have come from Height, Health and History by Roderick Floud, but I can't find a digital copy of that book to link, despite it being 30 years old. The closest thing I could find is another work citing Floud, and only with regard to the difference in height at the beginning of the 19th century. It gives "nearly 6 inches taller", but note that it's comparing 14-year-olds in 1800, when nutrition for the lower classes was on the upswing.

> Floud et al. also showed that men who grew up in urban areas were shorter than men who grew up in rural areas, and that there were significant differences in the
heights of men and boys from different socioeconomic backgrounds. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, 14-year-old boys attending the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst were nearly six inches taller than their counterparts in the Marine Society

> -80C storage and transport needed. Challenging, but doable in developed countries, but still may slow down mass rollout. Not feasible in many developing countries.

True but it's also a bit more complicated than that. The YouTube channel Wendover Productions has a great video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byW1GExQB84 (skip to 5:01 for the talk about the cold chain).

TL;DW, there are other factors:

- Whether the hospital is able to maintain the vaccine at the required temperature (many, especially the smaller ones, don't have the equipment)

- This is medical technology and unproven options (like buying a random box off Alibaba like someone suggested) are unlikely to be used

- Pfizer (vaccine in TFA) has developed a shipment container that uses dry ice and lasts 10 days but it can only be opened twice a day, for less than a minute at a time, so facilities administering vaccines need to be able to accurately predict how many they'll administer in a given day

- Pfizer's box is only built for multiples of a thousand doses and only lasts 10 days so isn't well-suited to smaller areas that can't administer 1000 vaccines in 10 days

It's not git flow. Git flow is horrendous, completely unnecessary and designed by someone who doesn't understand git.

The article describes a pretty standard git rebase workflow that is simple and works well.
Wanted to say that out of all the alternatives, this seems most interesting. Is there an info or about page where I can read your approach?
I use almost exactly this workflow with rclone.

This bit resonated particularly:

begin quote

Never merge with GitHub!

There’s a button GitHub that says “rebase and merge” that could theoretically be used for merging pull requests. I never use that (and if I could, I’d disable/hide it). The reasons are simply:

I don’t feel that I have the proper control of the commit message(s)

I can’t select to squash a subset of the commits, only all or nothing

I often want to cleanup the author parts too before push, which the UI doesn’t allow

end quote

Not being able to selectively squash and edit the multiple commit messages is a big missing feature in my workflow.

It threw them off for the first few hours, as written. Doesn't mean that low latency in general irritates them, just that they weren't used to it at first.
Agree. It's a shame because I do believe it is very much cultural - it is possible to write very clear, expressive and safe Scala code. But it doesn't seem the community has settled on that as a cultural idiom. Instead they frequently favor maxing out the power of the language and type system at every opportunity and that means you often encounter lines of code that look like a string of hieroglyphics, or functional programming concepts and higher order types thrown at basic simple logic that could be imperatively written with much more clarity.

Socialization is an oft-cited "problem" for homeschoolers. I found my sons did better socially when not having to deal all day with an actively hostile environment. They had more friends, were more able to connect to people in a positive fashion, etc.

Homeschooling doesn't have to be expensive. You can go to the library and check out materials for free, shop second-hand book stores and buy materials from the bargain bin. I got a lot of math books for as little as a dollar because most people don't read math books for fun, so they often ended up in the bargain bin at regular bookstores.

You can join email lists and the like to help you figure everything out.

For my family, homeschooling was all upside. I had more time as a homeschooling parent to do other things than I did as a public school parent.

As a public school parent, I had to take my kids to school and pick them up. I had to pack a lunch every day. I had to attend parent-teacher meetings. I had to help them with their homework and it was an uphill battle worse than when I was choosing curriculum that was a good fit for their needs.

I have two twice exceptional sons (gifted and learning-disabled). One of our biggest challenges was keeping them in curriculum because if it was a good fit, they ran through it quickly and if it was a bad fit, I needed to ditch it and find another answer in short order. They didn't want to do it. It was bombing.

Homeschooling is easier if you have a child with health issues and special dietary needs. We liked to attend museums and other activities of that sort and stuff like that is educational. That's often a special field trip in public school. You can do more things like that as a homeschooler.

The biggest hassle of homeschooling is not teaching the kids. It's complying with state laws. Joining an email list to help you figure out how to track their progress so you aren't so stressed about that detail is very helpful. You can also join things like (iirc) the Homeschool Legal Defense Fund to get a newsletter and legal protection in case the state does get on your case about something.

You will want to look up the laws in your state. Some states are very lenient and others aren't. If you can comfortably comply with state law, then homeschooling can be a very happy experience for the entire family.

You will need to set boundaries to prevent "parent burnout" cited in the article. When my sons were in public school, they imposed on my time when they were home. If they were home, they felt entitled to make demands of my time and attention. With homeschooling, I had to establish boundaries and say "No, you can't do that to me 24/7. If my bedroom door is shut, knock. Don't burst in. If you want to talk to me, ask to arrange an appointment. Don't expect me to drop everything all the time."

In the long run, it was good for how we interacted. But it was kind of a hidden problem that wasn't obvious ahead of time would need to be addressed.

Probably not many and probably nobody here but I reckon there are at least a few non-technical people that think Amazon employees have actually chosen them.

I mean, the very first time you come across it there's no reason to think otherwise really. Search for a padlock, and one is "Amazon's choice"? Ok sure they could easily have had someone try all the padlocks and pick a decent one.

It's only when you find "Amazon's choice" of "3mm hand reamer" or whatever that it becomes obvious it's a scam.

Objective truth as revealed to us by the anointed technocrats and fact checkers has been accepted by partisans where it suits their biases. Questioning these official truths amounts to blasphemy in the social media space.

The premise of democracy rests upon the concept of free and open debate. If we cannot trust the public to consume information without hand holding, why should we trust them to vote on issues which impact our lives and property? Ironically, censorship is enacted in the name of protecting democracy.
Who defines "misinformation"?

The mainstream media?

"If the news are fake imagine history".

People need to understand that NO ONE can define what is "misinformation" because all sides have incentives to lie.

This is purely thought policing.

Just tried this, expecting it to function like an electron app. Did not expect it to pop open a node console and start to force install Chrome. It'd be nice to use this without being forced to install Chrome. Maybe see if there's a way to use Firefox or at least Brave instead of Chrome
I suggest this person writes a game in rust and then writes this article, otherwise what's the point?
Is the main issue in game development memory safety? Cos if it isn't then why would rust be better?

Whenever I see people programming in rust they are usually having to work around the borrow checker, which arguably makes them reason in a better way about their programs and also arguably wastes loads of their time doing something they know is correct but the rust compiler can't reason about.

I don't think rust has "fixed" reliability or performance issues in Firefox has it?
Alright, this is a click bait, misleading title, the title should be:

Looks like my flow. One thing I do wonder, how do people deal with the tests and the time it takes for a PR to be approved (including tests, discussion, people in different time zones)?

I often have interdependent branches (large pieces of related work chopped into small tasks) and take my previous branch along in my new one, this leads to an order in PRs sometimes when a big tasks is followed by a small/fast one. Sometimes I think, come on team, pick up my PR!

Training the common tools and pattern recognition for things algebra. At higher level you really need to have a repertoire of various tricks to apply to integrals and derivatives... I never properly learned these for University level.

Often the problems had some trick that you had to apply to solve it. And without knowing those certain tricks from routine finding right solution was pretty hard.
Of Calibre yes, but not of Calibre Web. I don't want to have to create a database, and move it to web for it to work.
You agree that because you're not used to something, that means you're not a fan of that thing in general?

I'm a gamer myself. Upgrading my display makes me slightly off-game myself, until I get used to the new one. Same when getting a new car, where the brakes are way more sensitive than on a old car. Doesn't mean I don't like the brakes to be more sensitive, just means I'm not used to it.

And yes, the first few weeks of sensitive brakes are irritating, just touch the pedal and the car grinds quickly to a full halt. But now I do like it better compared to when you fully press down the pedal and the car slowly stops.
I read it in a sense that it's hard to adjust back once muscle memory is set to a certain value.
No. They even install an additional telemetry service that runs independently of Firefox.
My main beef with F# is the .net library -- none of it is written from a functional perspective, which means you're constantly mixing functional and object-oriented paradigms.
"By the way, in the 1960s I taught group theory to Moscow schoolchildren. Avoiding all the axiomatics and staying as close as possible to physics, in half a year I got to the Abel theorem on the unsolvability of a general equation of degree five in radicals (having on the way taught the pupils complex numbers, Riemann surfaces, fundamental groups and monodromy groups of algebraic functions). This course was later published by one of the audience, V. Alekseev, as the book The Abel theorem in problems." (Arnold - On teaching mathematics)

It's really not that abstract. Phrased another way, would you want the world to go back to a state where the sun never set on the British Empire? Most people wouldn't, including most Brits, even though it was a large free trade zone (the "Imperial Preference"). There are more borders now, but that's offset by the benefits of localism. The great empires were not famous for their love or respect of local cultures.

WW1 was a good example of where a lot of those countries came from. The empires of the day were very large, not many countries, and the people running the German/Austro/Hungarian/Ottoman empires thought that was great and maybe they should reduce the number of borders in the world a bit more. They were defeated and in the aftermath a lot of new countries sprang up, for instance, the modern concept of countries didn't really exist in North Africa/Arabia until the Ottoman Empire collapsed.

And the argument about people from other cultures not always mixing well isn't abstract. That is a lesson being learned in blood. The killer of Paty was an illegal immigrant, that's why Macron is suddenly pro-borders.

The point is, the modern left treats borders as some unspeakable evil, but never make any kind of intellectual argument against them, probably because the moment you do try to grapple with this issue intellectually and the history of where this system came from it becomes complex. Probably also because borders are an aspect of localism and the left historically is a globalist ideology. So instead they just attack the infrastructure and skip the whole thought process entirely. It's anti-intellectual.
