This is effectively the best reference notes on the internet for calculus 1, calculus 2, calculus 3, and differential equations. You can definitely become proficient in these subjects on those notes alone, with practice. Paul’s Online Math Notes were my main reference material back in 2008-2009 in university. I am glad to see that it is still very popular.

The absolute best Calculus book for undergraduates majored in the formal engineering disciplines is Calculus, 6th edition, by Swokowski, Olinick, and Pence.

ISBN-10: 0534936245
ISBN-13: 978-0534936242

My (fraternal) twin brother used this book to teach himself calculus 2 in preparation for another course he needed to take. There are lots of supplementary materials that you can get for the book, like solutions manuals, study guides, and even a linear algebra supplement (although the latter is hard to find—I should probably scan all of the materials)

You're saying he shot someone. That was alleged, and he was never arrested or charged. Like I said, some leftists are believers in armed self defense. I am not. But the fact of the matter is we will never know the full details of that case. I condemn bringing weapons to protests as fully as I condemn equating the role of violence on the left and the right in America right now.

That's what I've always thought as well, but the financials look to be pretty good here. The CEO states their main differentiator is their culture so I wonder what the actual landscape looks like
It's clearly a rhetorical question being asked meant to stimulate our thoughts about the state of modern software.

I've often thought software has become a fetish instead of a tool.

I worked at a place where I was scolded for things like indentation formatting issues and the product we were working on made 1M a year maybe.

Then I went on to work for a place that had a steaming pile of PHP code that probably made the company 20 million dollars or more.

It was an eye opening philosophy changing learning experience for me. It wasn't the software that mattered.. it was the solution to the problem...the software fetishists were hung up on the pedantry of the software while these people out here are writing anything that works and solving problems and making money and not giving a shit if the software looks pretty or has the latest language or framework.

Also, being in devops where you blend systems with development and you offload as much as possible to the SYSTEM instead of trying to emulate the system in software.

I think one of the best trends of software is it's evolution as glue between already written systems that we're seeing in cloud.

The writing is really beautiful. If the author is on this thread very nice work.
I can't believe people are seriously suggesting things like this over THIS particular virus.
The great barrington declaration is undoubtedly not fake, in that the core people who put their names to it have not said they didn't.

The volume of support is of course dubious as the only requirement for saying that a "medical professional" was signing it, was a check box on a web form.

the challenge I see with the declaration's approach is that (AFAIK) it skips over the hard part of how "Focused Protection." is actually implemented.

It's super easy to write a web page saying that we should use "focused protection" to avoid heavy loss of life to Covid, and much much harder to design and implement a workable strategy.

This article actually demonstrates that problem. A worker at a care facility spread it to a set of vulnerable people. How would "focused protection" have stopped that? There may be an answer, but I don't see that information from the Great Barrington declaration.
Sure, just like drunk driving or twitching your trigger finger when someone just happens to be in front of the gun.
Ok, say 10% fails upon launch or fails to detonate. Now you're down to 63K per side. Say each side reserves 50% for targets of opportunity, they've each launched 31K warheads. Goodbye civilization.

The UN reports that there are currently 580 cities in the world with populations greater than 1M. Doesn't take many warheads or launchers to wipe those out.

I think it demonstrates how weak enforcement of the rules are. Maine already had rules against such gatherings. Yet it still happened. Why?
With the extreme indifference to human life, and the knowledge that they could be causing "bodily harm" even if they think the odds of death are remote, we could try for second-degree murder.
>Over the next 38 days, the virus spread to 176 other people. Seven of them died.

Seven people died. This isn't some hypothetical where people are acting like there's risk where there isn't; it's a story of seven real, living, breathing humans passing away.

I've never been to Lamar, so maybe you know something I don't, but there's no sense in which Lamar is a small school. It's probably several times the average US university.
It would fall under behavior matching something like likely to cause serious injury or death with reckless disregard or depraved indifference to the safety of others, which in most states would be straight manslaughter or low-degree murder.

There's a lot of commentary on the internet, and nobody can respond to it all. Occasionally you come across something so incorrect and clueless that it's not worth responding to; you just downvote it and move on.
If the only concern is the install process, I would recommend Manjaro. It has its own installer, but you still get the powerful pacman package manager and the Arch repositories which are the most cutting-edge around.
Outdoors would likely have been substantially safer, yes.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-a-summer-of-covid-...

> And if there is one thing we can definitively state, it’s that this virus is much, much less likely to spread outdoors than in. For example, in a study of 7,324 Chinese case reports, only two — part of the same transmission event — could be linked to outdoor settings. A database of more than 20,000 cases (including the 7,324 Chinese cases) found 461 that were associated with transmission in completely outdoor environments — predominantly crowded events like markets and rallies. Overall, only 6 percent of all the cases in that database were linked to events that were either totally or partially outdoors. The rest were tied to indoor events.
The researchers attempted to control for this:

"Sedentary screen time
Sedentary screen time is calculated in hours per week, adding together the participants’ answers to the questions ‘In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend watching TV?’ (FC: 1070) and ‘In a typical DAY, how many hours do you spend using a computer? (not including time using a computer at work)’ (FC: 1080)."

After the last election there was the attempted impeachment and RussiaGate witch hunt which found no evidence that Trump conspired with Russia to influence the election. It's pretty brazen to ignore that ans say the left never disputed the election outcome.
Fair enough. Why would right-wingers show up to a left-wing protest with violent intentions? There's no legitimate reason, but I apologize for extrapolating from their actions.
Or you could ditch Arch and go with a workstation specific Linux distribution like Fedora or Pop_OS that works out of the box with a lot of hardware. Gnome is more polished than the MacOS UI imho.

Been using Fedora for a few months now and I haven't had a sleepless night yet. Everything just works.
There are “high-risk” people in care homes who want to visit their relatives for the holidays. To call these people selfish is way off the mark. Human beings are more than a simple statistic to optimize for political benefit. Perhaps it’s the politicians and others who are being selfish by imposing their will and desires.

Viewpoints on liberty and consent aside, there doesn’t seem to be much of a strategy or timeline yet and it’s time we do a cost/benefit analysis that considers all costs and complications beyond covid.
Rad idea! I would include the example audios further up in the page (it was the first thing I wanted to see). The intro video is great, but I think you won't find many people interested in a 3+ minute intro video (I bounced super quick, once I realized it might not show me an example)

Skipping the big family Thanksgiving events. Might do a small thing with my parents and sister, but that gets less appealing as the rates climb.

Flying to Florida for a wedding in December, which I'm very unhappy with. But my wife's a bridesmaid, the bride's her best friend she hasn't seen for years, and the bride cut down on guests. She's doing a webcast for most family and friends. I wish they'd just delay it.

No Christmas gatherings.
*tenuous
Just a reminder, that tool likely underestimates the risk of covid. Seroprevalence data shows undercounting of up to 24 times (rather than the 5 or 10 this tool shows.)

Also, this tool assumes you are only seeing people from your county.

And humans are terrible at assessing compound risk. If the tool shows a 5% risk from a gathering, people will likely attend multiple events. ("Oh, it's only 5% to go to Thanksgiving. And 5% to go to Friendsgiving. etc.") When you consider multiple events, risk doesn't stay constant.

So while that tool is interesting, don't look at it as a mechanism to say, "Yeah, it's probably ok to have a gathering."

Yeah. Compared to the rest of the world, the entire left half of the political spectrum is more or less missing in the US.

The democrats are a center right party. The republicans are at this point, a far right party. It has been a deliberate strategy of the far right to paint the center as "socialism" (which a lot of Americans seem to mistake for communism...), because it makes their ideology seem less extreme. A lot of Americans have fallen for that nonsense, unfortunately. Definitions and framing and perspective matters a lot.
Sorry, your whole argument smells of FUD.

> One difference is that blank CDs cost money.

So does internet access, electricity to run the servers, disks to store the data. Your point?

> Copyright holders could potentially get future development shut down on the basis that the service implicitly authorises or encourages copyright infringement, as they are trying to do to youtube-dl.

Bullshit. The same argument could be made against a web browser. It's not just because RIAA is making some absurd claim that is yet to be dropped in court that their claims are valid.

Also, even if the RIAA managed to block access to a central point of development, it would be at most a nuisance. Developers of whatever project gets blocked from Github need to do nothing youtube-dl

> this strategy has worked for some tools like Napster, KaZaA, and some BitTorrent trackers. while failing for BitTorrent clients.

Very easy to see how the strategy only works against corporations, not against open source projects. KaZaA got sued, but GnuTella lives on.
There are plenty of things to vote for though, and usually it's considered a good thing to put things on the ballot in presidential years because presidential elections have the highest turnout.

My Washington ballot this year was a double-sided single page bubble sheet. I'm not sure how much easier it's supposed to get.
From the article:

"A higher frequency of alcohol consumption was surprisingly associated with reduced frequency of depressed mood in people with depression. This may potentially be due to the self-medicating use of alcohol by those with depression to manage their mood."

So they explicitly consider your point for alcohol consumption. But they don't seem to consider it for sleep, screen time, or exercise.

To complicate things, I find alcohol negatively impacts sleep and exercise, so the hypothesed self-medication with booze could score multiple hits.
I'm old, so this was some time ago. The servers were supposed to share tips with the dishwashers etc. but in practice it was hit or miss since most of the tips were cash and could be easily under-reported. Not sure if it was a law to share tips or not

The researchers appear to have tried to look at Sedentary Screen Time, but had to correlate passive TV watching and non-work computer use as those were the questions from the data bank they sampled.

Visiting my parents outside for Thanksgiving if the weather is ok. Everything else is going to be video chats.

Almost none of my family have followed reasonable guidelines and I've seen snapchats, etc of them eating indoor at restaurants. There is zero chance I'm going in any of their houses even with a mask on.
I don't know why, but your extreme excitement for Google Maps really made me smile.

It's important not to take really good pieces of software and services for granted, yet it's something we all do every day.
The article says that the mother of somebody who attended the wedding worked at a long term care facility, which houses a more at-risk population.
I believe there is a mentally-ill man down the hall that thinks he is Antifa, and definitely plans violence all the time, but he is too weak and unstable to do it in reality.. perhaps a powerful image for his weak and unstable mind to fixate on.. does this equate to a real threat? hard to say, he lives largely in a fantasy world and has few contacts with people..

Its no secret that the mentally ill, badly damaged and socially disadvantaged have historially flocked to extreme campaigns -> on either side <- of this inflamed debate

> The food is wrong often. Whether it’s the dasher’s fault or the app’s or the restaurant’s who knows, but it happens too frequently.

The dasher doesn't actually order or make your food, they just pick it up and drive it to you... AFAIK the restaurant has an app aka "the tablet" which they receive orders on that they can press a "ready in 15 minutes" button on when the order is ready.
Wouldn't your parents presumably be at much higher risk than you? It seems like the roles should be reversed, no?

I just want to say thank you. COVID shutdowns basically trade the well-being of business owners, employees of said businesses, and healthy people with the well-being of the unhealthy and elderly. This is a worthy trade, but I don't think we show enough appreciation for those whose livelihoods are being taken away.
Doesn’t seem so; the numbers I’ve heard since the beginning of the pandemic are 24-48 hours until you are infectious, and 2-14 days (a lot of variance) for symptoms, if you are going to show them. If somebody has newer numbers please do share.
Fortunately I'm working from home, my parents are teachers who are working remote, and my wife's parents work night shifts cleaning a college that's pretty empty right now. Hopefully we'll be able to get together.
Lately I've been finding an analogy with food production quite useful. It's possible we have enough restaurant-style software and we should stop (but we never will, because restaurant-style software production rots if it stands still). However, we have almost zero home-cooked software production. Perhaps we should do more of that.

It's challenging, because we got the restaurants first, and we didn't have millennia of home-cooked tradition built up before the restaurants arrived. And we've all only trained in restaurant software, and our instincts don't always carry over to home-cooked software. Creating a culture of home-cooked software must happen in the margins, without capital, because capital by nature goes to restaurants.

It's challenging, but it seems worth trying.

> Trump I would suspect is a classical liberal.

Trump I would suspect has nothing resembling a coherent political philosophy and couldn't understand classical liberalism, and he's certainly, of recent prominent politiciana of either party, the one that least often cites and most often explicitly dismisses norms of classical liberalism; the centrist (relatively) wings of both major American parties are grounded in classical liberalism (which is why, when those wings were dominant in both parties, we had the brief neoliberal consensus period), their peripheries are more diverse in major influences.
Honestly, socialism should be re-branded in the US as "Canadianism" or "Scandanavianism" to break free of that branding problem.

Americans aren't against socialized medicine or safety nets, just the "socialism" boogieman.
