Yes, but you won't have much visibility into anything encrypted (HTTPS). Which is everything. You'll just see opaque traffic going to certain IP addresses and you also won't know what process on the computer caused it. Doing this in the OS is way nicer.

I don't mean to attack you, but why wouldn't you just move closer? Your weekly commute time multiplied by your hourly salary is likely significantly more than the increased rent, no matter where you lived.

I've never understood why people make those choices.

I agree. While Twitch cannot prevent the initial DMCA takedown, they could offer assistance with the counter claim. If they do that often enough, sending fraudulent DMCA requests becomes expensive for the RIAA.
Synthwave is actually fairly close musically to demoscene music. Try listening to Scenestream / Nectarine and tell me what you think. I find it pretty nice as work-music.
Whew. As someone that struggled with depression for nearly 15 years, as someone involved in the radical mental health movement for a long time, as a social scientist, as a Buddhist, as an activist...pulled so many different directions by seeing these numbers.

I guess all I have to say, with an immense amount of compassion, some frustration, and all the honesty in my heart is that "It doesn't have to be this way." And "It's not your fault, but it's still your one life."

That's because it was abused to troll inexperienced users.

The tech industry is rife with hypocrisy when it comes to matters of privacy and online tracking. It's something rotten at the very heart of this profession. Developers are more likely to rush to defend companies - rather than scrutinise them. We'd all be better off if we stopped defending these companies. You can like - even love - a company product without feeling you owe the company any loyalty or defence. And we'd all be better off for it.

Big Tech and Big Media really overplayed their hand this time, IMO. Millions and millions of people are now skeptical and looking for an alternative, even from Fox News. It might not be to Parler, or to the next site after that, but fragmentation will continue to happen. Facebook and media at large only have power if they have viewers, which is a far less stable resource than iron, or oil, or other corporate mainstays.

A decade from now, I think we’ll view the 2020 election as the tipping point.
I would agree if us poor souls didn't have to still support ie11.

Space is expensive in many cities. In my area, a 2 bedroom rents for around $2500. A 3 bedroom is more like $3500. So that's a $12k annual difference.
Haha, this kind of sarcasm is what everyone used when I said this about Voat.co. Went there to check if perhaps my prediction was wrong but no, it's full of crackpottery of all kind by disaffected losers.

I am not depressed now but I am doing the same things I do when I am depressed. I think the difference is compassion.

- it takes me hours to get out of bed but that's ok, I have loads of time during lockdown.

- I spend hours daily scrolling through HN and reddit but that's ok, it's good to switch off for a bit.

- I can only productively work 1-2 hours per day but that's ok, most people I ask is doing the same and that's probably all I ever achieved with the distractions of the office.

I hope this can help reframe things for others.
And the problem is that sooner or later some of these people will start to act out their radicalized beliefs with very ugly results.
One factor in countries that used to see high inflation, it was/is common to buy real estate and then build a house over the course of years with whatever money was available as a surplus at the end of the year. As can be seen in the large number of unfinished buildings in eg Greece, where in addition a house is traditionally expected as a dowry AFAIK.
It took me 4 days of headaches but afterwards I had no symptoms. My friend group did a challenge to go without caffeine for 30 days.

Everyone made it. My "trick" was to treat the withdrawal symptoms like I was coming off of heroine, visualize a clear improvement after the slump. The rest was just to find caffeine free replacements. Coke Zero Caffeine-Free was a blessing.
Driver's license numbers, names, birthdates, addresses, and vehicle registration information were stolen for nearly 28 million Texas drivers who received a license before February of 2019.

Wait a minute. Isn't this all public data? In fact you have been able to pay to access all of that data through a company called Public Data since the 90s. So what exactly is the new risk here? https://login.publicdata.com/

It's also a bit absurd that the victim count is 28M. The total population of Texas is 28M, which includes small children who aren't drivers.

> Has anyone successfuly quit coffee?

Sure. I assume you tried to go cold turkey on coffee, and didn't like it. I'd suggest the gradual method, which might work better for you.

Over the span of a week, normalize your coffee intake. Have just two cups of coffee a day at a regular time with known quantity of coffee.

Next week, reduce the amount of coffee in one cup by 1/2. So, if you grind 30g of coffee, grind 15g.

The week after that, reduce the amount of coffee in the other cup to the same amount.

The week after that, reduce the amount of coffee in one cup by 1/4 (or, eliminate entirely). One week after that, do the same to the other cup. Before you know it, going cold turkey gives you no symptoms.

You can see how this goes on. Adjust the time period and/or the coffee reduction to whatever works for you. For me, a week and coffee reduction by 1/4th (of the original amount) worked just fine for me.
I don't understand why people are talking about these record number of voters in absolute numbers... We need to know the percentage of all possible voters otherwise it's meaningless. What's telling me that the population of the US hasn't grown by 5 million since the last election?

Interesting, I think production by IKEA is the only feasible direction for producing and selling this as people's homes are too varied for any single configuration to work.

It looks very nice. I might be willing to spend ~1K on this but only if it exactly fits my needs, and even within just my current residence the window sizes and ceiling heights are dramatically different from room to room.

Speaking of which they should offer an ORI configuration where the back office wall is open to an exterior window so that it is more suitable for a corner room with two exterior walls.
Why would we regress to pre-industrial level of technology? Even if you somehow wipe 90% of the population worldwide, this brings the population back to mid-18th century levels - which is to say, when industrial revolution was already ongoing. But that same number of people would know all the things that had to be discovered back then, and would still have a lot of machinery, and a lot of already-refined materials, to bootstrap from.

Nor is there a particular shortage of hydrocarbons to burn, with consumption reduced so much due to population loss and reduction in quality of life. Consider that US today emits more than 200x carbon into the atmosphere than it did in 1850, and that this growth has been exponential. So what we consider one year worth of reserves today, could provide energy for many decades in this hypothetical.
Sure, but you can't stop people from creating spaces where they want to talk to people they agree with. And besides, I'm certainly not going to spend my time explaining to other people why lizard people are not controlling SecDef through mind probes.

I've got better things to do with my time, like telling you how I don't have time to do that other thing.
Voice clips are extremely used in South America. I'd say some people even send more voice clips than text messages.

Any app lacking them has no chance of gaining traction there.

I think it's because we dumped SMS (which has no voice clips) early and moved to WhatsApp (I think it's been the norm for like 8 years now in Argentina).

Yes, it’s hard to learn. I believe that with the help of a therapist, it can be done.
Actually, the commands you listed are more or less the basics, but the magic comes when you learn about the structure of the commands.

For example, `2dw` is a typical example. So you start with the number of times you want to do something, then you add a verb like `d` for delete and you end with a noun like `w` for word. As you probably have guessed, it deletes the next two words.

Since working with lines is quite common, many commands are executed for a line when you repeat the verb (easy to type). So `2dd` deletes the next two lines.

When you use this language you start using vim. There is still more to explore (e.g. macros), but this is where vim is different.
I dont think I've been to two companies that had the same or even similar definition of 'data science'. Often it meant something like: see if you can use Tableau to produce new insights.
I work as a data scientist and every statement in your post sounds incorrect to me. SQL is useful but it's far from the most important tool. It's certainly unlikely to land you a job. It definitely won't solve 97% of problems. You either have a very skewed perspective of what data science is or you spend a lot of time on linkedin/medium where bad advice like this is parroted a lot.

Think about this - there are a bunch of other software developers who know SQL very well. If your advice was true, then every backend developer would be able to immediately land a data science job and do great at it without having to learn a bunch of math, ML-specific stuff and a whole other tech stack.

I have started to go running during the lock down in March where I live. I recommend you get a good pair of running shoes if you want to start. Also I used a sports tracker on my phone to track progress, which helped me stay motivated.

For me usually after the first 15 minutes of running, my brain stops thinking and is just focusing on the running and my immediate surroundings.

Sorry to disappoint you, but this one is a scam.
Here‘s an account of someone who answered no, I‘m not depressed. Hoping this offers some light to those who couldn’t answer the same way this time.

Like I said, I’m not depressed today but have definitely suffered my share of emotional pain following the loss of my mother and the loneliness that comes with moving to a foreign country where you don’t speak the language.

Here are two frameworks I came up with during those dark years, which still help me today. Not claiming this will help you too, though I hope it does, but perhaps you can find some use in it... even if only as inspiration to find your own frameworks.

Framework 1: Myself > the ones I love > the things I do.

I found these are the building blocks of a happy life, in this order. First I need to be content with myself and to know I‘m worth of respect and love, and no one can help me with this. Then I need to actively seek and nurture the love of others (family, friends, spouse). Only then should I focus on what I‘m doing with the rest of my time (my job, my hobbies).

Framework 2: „The Mix“

This is something that rather helps me keep a happy state of mind. Every week, I try to make sure I fill it with a good „mix” of the following “ingredients”:

- Socializing: of the “deep” kind. Meaning I want to talk to people I love and make an effort to really listen to what they are saying/feeling. To empathize. I’m more interested in a few (maybe starting with one) deep relationships.

- Movement: move my body somehow, preferably outside. I try to do this 4-5x a week. Sometimes it’s just a long walk, sometimes a run, sometimes a workout. Anything counts.

- Inspiration: watch, read, listen to anything or anyone that makes you dream of what life could be.

- Appreciation: make an active effort to objectively realize that some things in your life, even if sometimes only a small few, are positive. I usually do this at night, in bed, before falling asleep.

Hope this is useful in some way. Feel free to email if you need to talk (email in profile)
If 90% of the population dies, we're left with around 750 million people worldwide.

Last time the world had that many people in it was around 1750. How fast could the people back in 1750 get to the present technological level, if they had all the science and engineering and exploration already figured out, and also got a bunch of machinery to kickstart things?
On Windows, use Bitvise. SSH into your Linux box. Use the file browser GUI to navigate to your file. Edit it in Sublime, or your favorite editor.

Vi is ok for viewing files on a terminal, and for small edits, but it’s rather mediocre for any significant amount of development work.
Two reasons. One, I had to stay near to my elderly mother to help her every few days. Two, if it were merely increased rent, that would be tolerable, but the cost of the act of moving, along with deposits and fees, would be impossible.
>apply data science in new fields

I see what you did there.

But seriously, if you have a background in agriculture (and don't hate it) and want to get into data science, aim for the intersection of the venn diagram between agriculture and data science.

I understand agriculture is getting quite technical and data driven these days, and that can surely only become more the case in the future. Especially if vertical farms and robot tractors become a real thing.
Considering:

2019 estimated Texas population 28,995,881.

Remove non-adult driving population.

U.S. Census data from 2010 indicate that .. 27.3% is under 18.

Roughly say 75% of the population has a license. An overestimate, I'd say. So roughly 21.5 million.

So this sounds to me like it would be a breach of all digitized Texas license records for all time, living and deceased.
I would get rid of Stocks, TV and Home apps but for that you apparently need to disable System Integrity Protection from Recovery. Also, I'd rather enable applications from all sources permitted to be run because you already get prompted when running those for the first time (using `sudo spctl --master-disable` which is reversible). I do not download apps from random sources or use pirated stuff so I'm less willing to put up with that sort of restrictions. Also `AppCleaner` is something I think is a must-have on a system because of files being left over when an app is deleted.
I simply cannot see the value in happiness for the sake of happiness. As long as there are people being murdered and tortured, I will not ever feel deeply happy -- so? I still won't shift the goal posts just to feel "happy". I can't change the world just by myself, but I can make it so I would have deserved to live in a better one, and that to me implies not accepting or normalizing the state of things, however painful that may be.
I'd posit that if that were true, they'd probably never have made it to even a $2bn company, never mind $2tn. HN is - for Apple's intents and purposes - an insignificantly tiny bunch of people they're 95% not really interested in as customers.
I think you're off two zeros (1e4 $/record * 2.8e6 records = 2.8e10 $, or 28 G$ = 28bn), but your point still stands.
any recent link on existing work in that field ?

i'm super interested to know if any progress is being done there.
It is parasitic because of the power dynamic.

Ken is a friend and colleague. I worked with for years on the Go team, from the early days.

But ken was at Google a long time before the Go project started. (The Go project was not developed in Google's monorepo and was not subject to Google's readabiliy process, as is the case for many Google projects.) What ken was referring to was indeed the C++ Readability process (which doesn't stop anyone committing code, just requires a review from a person with the 'readability' certification before committing; as mentioned upthread). I know this from talking to him about it, specifically.

I can't offer you any more proof other than the fact that I was a witness. If you don't believe that, then I'm sorry? Not sure what else to tell you.

FWIW your conduct in this thread is extremely obnoxious. I'm sure you'll find a way to debate that, too, but please consider that I have no vested interest in telling you this other than hoping you might better learn how your conduct is perceived by others.
> But Apple simply has to find a more privacy-aware system designs for this problem which does not leak this kind of data without an opt-in and also does not impact application startup times. (revocation lists?)

The idea that you need apple to certify the developer over the software you run on your phone is nonsense though. You don't do that on your computer, so why do you need to be nannied on your phone?
Well its not as if Twitter or any sort of social media platform out there represents reality these days, for me anyway. Which is why I deleted my accounts once I had a look at both platforms to see if I'm missing anything.

Unsurprisingly, It turns out that both of them still have their extreme crack-pots and Parler is no exception; which is just another one of them, so nothing new here on the subject of 'randos' and 'crackpots'.
They can claim that all they want but a quick glance at their sign up flow shows you that they’re really only interested in peddling extreme right wing personalities and associated accounts.

And it can’t be a coincidence that “Gaming” with a capital G is the only topic that I saw suggested for me to follow.
It's up to you. You should have much more knowledge in the agriculture field than most people.

I believe it makes no sense that you discard the knowledge you already have. You can apply data science methods with the knowledge that you have going to work or creating a new company that works in agriculture using new methods.

Do you want to spend your life doing surveillance and spying on people like everybody else? This is fashionable but people are starting to resist and develop antibodies for it as they understand it more. The TV or the phone that I bought spying or me is not acceptable.

Agriculture will grow enormously in the future with things like LED and other methods to give energy to plants, or plankton or whatever. Drones controlling pests or humidity or temperature. Using natural insects predators for bio farming. Growing materials like cotton directly from cell's cultures.

The methods that are used today for growing marijuana indoors will be applied for more common things when prices go down.

Nobody better than you to identify the markets that will grow in the future. It is also a very good idea if you know (or associate with someone who knows) economics and marketing and selling.

Reason from First principles is extremely useful for identifying new waves that will carry you in the future with no effort.
