Cool project! Thanks for sharing! Yea the reason why I chose GitHub issues as a "database" was because it is simple to add a short link that manner. Definitely may get messy and there are other shortcomings like the lack of ability to indicate/reuse aliases. The other way to run a URL shortener service with low effort would be to use Firebase. Your idea is a cool one, love it especially since it uses GitHub actions too!
Opening software takes a lot of time on Windows. It's mainly due to the antivirus. I recently tested it myself; I forget the numbers but basically having Microsoft's AV enabled adds a good fraction of a second, or maybe more, to every program launch.

I love slide rules. The amount of functionality stuffed into such a simple device is beautiful. Also, turning multiplication/division into addition/subtraction with logarithmic scales felt like a genius level hack when I first learned about it, like the fast inverse square.

On a mildly related note, does anyone know if it's possible to construct a logarithmic scale from simple tools? A demonstration I've always wanted to try is building a slide rule "from scratch"

EDIT: by "simple tools" I mean no computers. Pen and paper, compass and straight edge, that sort of thing. I would assume in real life it was made via trial and error on a very large scale and shrunk down optically for a screen print, but I wonder if there's a "precise" way
The only way to get enough funds is fund raisers. Spending 40% of their money on fund raisers looks wasteful, but if they didn't spend that much on fund raising the total amount they would have to spend on the useful work they do would be much less. That is also why the board and CEO positions are really pay to play: the board of these places are all people who are big donors, and the CEO is chosen by the connections she has to people who will donate big dollars.

You must admit people who have the kind of money to throw around to buy a board seat probably have some business success as well as interest in the subject, so it isn't all bad. It gets people who care and are good.

That is the alternative view of the situation. There is some real merit, but I'm not sure how much I believe it.
I think it's mainly this part:

> I'm never going to buy a Windows computer. Period. I'm probably never going to switch to Linux either.

This sounds to me as if you were saying "since I won't be switching away from Apple, I find criticism of Apple tiring because it won't change my mind". Which seemed to imply to me that you were taking Apple criticism as an invalidation of your personal beliefs / preferences. But I don't think it should be construed that way. It's just criticism of a company.

I apologise if I misconstrued your position.

Not OP, but his description lines up with my experience. Short answer is, probably imo. Long answer is, every person is different, and if you don't have gout, you may never get it.

In my case, I had what I thought was a persistent toe sprain for years and only later realized it was gout. I'm sure alcohol contributed, as did dehydration, poor running form, the keto diet I was on, and sudden weight loss.
> Indexing files makes searching later faster.

It's been my experience that Windows search is anything but fast. On Linux on the other hand, the speed of find(1) was never an issue. There is really nothing to speed up (and in so doing increase median load).
For reference, op is probably referring to something like this:

You make it sound pretty terrible, until you realise that about 10000 people are dying from corona every day.

So yes, if by checking for 12 days you can prevent all these deaths, you should delay. If not you should not delay.
The github api does not care about your origin so that wasn't something I had to deal with! If I had to deal with something like that, my best option would be to use a proxy server, which would arguably negate the whole point of this "serverless" hack.
It is great that mRNA research is paying off at right time. Both Pfizer and Moderna took bets on mRNA!
Woot, and I completely missed that you did a new release over the weekend! Thanks for all the good work!
When I started using Emacs, I didn't think I'd use it much except for org-mode, which was the reason I started learning it. Then, as my usage expanded, I didn't think I'd want to use it for anything beyond org-mode, programming, and core text editing functions. Certainly not email or any of that other foolishness. Flash forward a couple of years and here I am, looking into making Emacs into my actual X window manager [1] so that I finally use it for everything, period.

I recognize that the practical arguments in favor of doing this are limited at best. Sometimes people "Emacs evangelize" by talking about how living entirely within the program allows them to have one text editing paradigm for everything in their lives; even though that is indeed nice, non-users aren't wrong to be skeptical about the practical benefits, given the amount of effort that will probably be involved. The secret is that for many Emacs users, it's just plain fun -- hence the things shown in this article, and also EXWM.

Good:

+ ~94.5% of individuals achieve immunity. Better than Pfizer, though we need more data to be sure.

+ no significant side-effects.

+ no special deep freezing. -20C is good for 6 month storage, -2 to -9 for 30 days comparing to Pfizer -70C all the time.

Not so good:

- two doses needed, 4 weeks apart, immunity after one and a half month from first dose. Slow rollout. Pfizer results were after one month.

Still long-term immunity is a question for every vaccine. Luckily, if two vaccines works then likely other attempts will be successful.
Do you live in the Midwest or deep South? You would have a very different picture of things if you did.
Is it just a coincidence or is Moderna’s name and stock ticker label (MRNA) intentionally supposed to reference the type of research they do? (mRNA)
There is nothing the support can do until this post is popular enough :)

I find Twitter's security borderline awful. I'm genuinely curious how does a 14 year old platform still isn't able to implement token based 2FA and user can change the email and password without any confirmation whatsoever.
Bad analogy, but you can run your car without an oil change for a damn long time. The eventual breakdown isn't just an innate action taken by your car.

3. It's hosted on GH Pages. I think they're pretty okay on the scaling front, what do you think?

4. Technically yes, as in "they could switch off GH Pages and the API". Not sure how likely that is. Also, the redirections are saved as GH issues

Japanese has ten vowels ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, a, e, i, o, and u. If you delete the macron over the vowels, you just lost half of the vowels of Japanese. It would be like writing English without the silent e (e.g. mat, mate would both be spelt "mat") because silent e is "devoid of information" and "noise rather than signal."
Some guy shared his project in this post that does exactly that! Yes while that is possible and can get to a high level of automation via GitHub actions, the point of my URL shortener was more of people could post a link easily with a simple interface (like the interface for adding a new issue). But if I were operating with a fixed set of short links, then this would have been a good method!
In all phase3 trials large groups of people, as similar to each other in all variables as possible, will be either given a placebo or the actual vaccine and then go back to their normal lives.

The trials have a set "Covid-19 cases" mark where the stop to evaluate. The Pfizer vaccine has 164 contractions of Covid-19 as their mark to conclude the research. This research seems to aim for 151.

The Moderna vaccine, which is based on similar mRNA technology as BioNTech’s, is expected to be assessed by the FDA on a final analysis of 151 Covid cases among trial participants who will be followed on average for more than two months.

If both groups are similar enough you can then say how effective the vaccine is in preventing it.

This, by the way, is why most phase 3 trials take place in the US and/or Brazil (among other places): the more Covid-19 is around the faster you can get to the set number of contractions and conclude the phase 3.
Because a large part of the value is to show it off to your friends. "Look I have rare X and you don't". If it is stole though the people are are most likely to be impressed are also the most likely to know it is stolen (they might even check). Many will turn you in because they hope that it ends up in auction in a few years and then they can buy it for their own collection to show off. It might even be more valuable to then because they can say they found it stolen, and then bought it from the rightful owner which adds to the story.
Why do you think companies will want people back in the office? Many have switched to work from home permanently, and the vast majority of workers won't want to go back either after having experienced it.
Not a coincidence.
Exactly what I've done so many times! Good to know it works just fine in other contexts.
like that one time a white woman called the cops on a black man in central park?

I don't think doing an action to have the policed called on you is the best approach, considering it can be weaponized by dishonest actors.

That wouldn't be able to distinguish between Private Browsing and having just cleared out browser data, though.
It seems that we will, the success of the current vaccine trials are derisking mRNA vaccines generally, which will make it cheaper to develop modern vaccines.
Your browser should, though. I would expect the fetch() request from nlsn.cf to github.com to throw a security error — presumably, the way custom domains are handled on github pages includes the addition of the custom domain as a trusted source at the github end.
It's intentional. The name of the company was originally spelled ModeRNA before they rebranded. They're very focused on mRNA.
I'm confused with this particular cause, though. It is known that "in the beginning" of 2021 Apple will make IDFA enabled on a per app basis after explicit user consent. This was working in beta version of iOS 14 this summer and caused huge pushback mainly from Facebook.

So, this is what Schrems is after, but it will happen with or without their action.
I think you might be right that there is some nonzero difference in the pronunciation of words containing (o)う vs (o)お sometimes, but it's not pronounced as a proper "ou" most of the time; if you need to pick one, you'd go with straight "oo".

I just went through a bunch of examples with a Japanese friend and we can't really find a consistent difference between おう and おお, but it seems we agree that trying to pronounce either too far into "ou" land sounds wrong... at least some of the time... It's kind of tricky :-)
Not the OP, but one of the teams I'm on uses fib somewhat differently.

Any point with 1-2 is estimated at < 1 day. Some are literally 20 minute fixes, but ... you don't always know that up front, you just generally know it may be pretty small. 2 might sometimes go up to a day.

A 3 is assumed to be a day or two.

A 5 is assumed to be 3-4 days.

An 8 would be 1-2 weeks.

Anything higher is backlogged until it's broken down into smaller segments.

Not sure how well that compares to usages by other teams, but that's one data point for your question.
All directly because of Donald Trump
Absolutely agreed. I am by no means defending Apple’s entire position here — just the pretty mundane operation of logging IP addresses associated with HTTP requests.
I think that ship has sailed a long time ago... software needs regular updates for security patching, so adding new formats is not the big deal it once was...

If nothing else, just provide a slow-but-correct decoder that translates the format to a long term stable format (e.g. PNG).
I don't think this is meant to be used by anyone, except as a fun proof-of-concept project, or maybe for a personal collection of URLs.
iirc, Pfizer results were after one month from the second injection.
There are a lot of inefficiencies in the companies that fab chips. (If you ever need an example of how consolidation / lack of competition leads to less than optimal output, semiconductor fabrication is it.) Stuff that takes on the order of hours or days that should instead take take a minute or two, tops. Information that should be take seconds to access and available at any time is instead put together manually. So much of what would appear to be institutional knowledge at these places is little more that cargo cult voodoo that may or may not have any significant impact on the product. Dumb mistakes (and the subsequent efforts to cover them up) by a workforce whose primary motivations are centered around making it through the day without getting in trouble and without giving away how little they understand and appearing as stupid as they feel.

Honestly, if Apple or Google or any other company with top-tier engineering wanted to get into the game and were serious about it, they could be competitive in a < 10-year time frame, and easily making laps around the competition past that.

Thank you. Caddy sounds like something I was looking for recently.
Technically it was the German company BioNTech, not Pfizer who did the initial mRNA research work for that their joint vaccine.
Until the cloud or datacenter operator makes the same call. Or the ISP. Or the software provider. Or the Chrome team.

This trend is bad because it's a declaration of open warfare by leftists on anyone who disagrees with them. The notion of persuading people with better arguments is dead to them; they'd rather win by foul means than fair. And sadly too many people here cheer them on, or shrug and say, well, technically nothing stops them.

But it's a stale, pale argument. Technically the Chinese government are well within their rights to put their citizens behind their firewall, suppress all free speech within their territory and do many other bad things. It's just one country amongst many after all. People can leave. Nonetheless it's right and proper to criticise them for doing so because that sort of behaviour is morally wrong.
That's true. But currently just a fraction of global population got infected and already 1.3 million people died. I still think though they shouldn't rush and do enough research because any bad side effects would have long term effect for any other future vaccine treatments.

I feel like "quickly" and "easily" a little overstated. Then again, this is someone who is willing to install their a separate firmware on a router, so...

This is one of the many problems that come from Google having so much market power. This is really the Google development practices being forced onto everyone; iterate fast, create new stuff and throw old stuff away when you feel like it.

I do hope other browser makers like Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari will hold back on this, like they should have done with Webp v1.

It is possible, but docker is not yet ported. The docker images you run will have to be ARM images, as docker cannot emulate x86. Docker supports multi-arch images with their buildx infrastructure, so this situation will fix itself over time. Most of the official base images already support ARM.
That's interesting that you seem to think it's my problem. I also find it disingenuous that you are linking to my previous comments publically. Are you trying to shame me? Maybe you need to disallow political discussions period? Have you considered that the people I am replying to are also fighting a political battle that you are biased for?

All in all, yes I believe certain things passionately. Like racism and sexist exist in America, specifically in software and corporate America. I also believe that this bias shows on this community because of the demographic or people who browse and comment here.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold

> Well over 200 virus strains are implicated in causing the common cold, with rhinoviruses being the most common.

> Vaccination has proven difficult as there are many viruses involved and they mutate rapidly. Creation of a broadly effective vaccine is, therefore, highly improbable.

IIRC the virus in the rhinoviruses family mutates more rapidly than the virus in the coronavirus family.
While economics 101 often talks about the rational person, when you go deeper you should discover that the rational person is much like the "spherical cow" in physics: everyone knows it doesn't exist, but it is often a useful fiction anyway. How the irrational person affects economics is a complex question.
I had two apps that radically changed their business model through updates with no recourse.

I had an app called gas cubby, which let me locally - on the phone - keep track of all my vehicles. I could enter detailed information about each car such as year, make, model, vin, insurance policy, gas purchases, oil changes and the like. It would tell you gas mileage and remind you of upcoming maintenance.

One day, the app was updated and all my local data was uploaded to the cloud.

Another app I had was camscanner from tencent that basically did the same thing. Think of all the PDFs you scan going to their cloud.

"When I got the opportunity to interview with Amazon, I used all the knowledge and insights given by them, and the interviewers were really impressed with me.

When my friends and juniors heard about my offer from Amazon, everyone was intrigued, and asked me how I had made it from a tier 3 college to one of the top companies. I recommended them to join Scaler Academy, not because it will get everyone into Amazon, but because they can learn and grow, and eventually reach their true potential. If there is anything my journey has taught me, it is to persevere and not give up, no matter how many hurdles we face."
Windows dev here. Not to disagree with you, but I also have to buy an Authenticode certificate just to sign my assemblies so that Windows doesn't show a scary popup when the user starts my application.

Ah, and I also have to buy another certificate for HTTPS so that the browsers don't show a scary popup when the user opens my website.
That's actually not a bug, it's the definition of the mercator projection - everything at the poles is scaled infinitely. That's why the poles themselves are actually missing on mercator, as they'd be infinitely large. Without the cropping it'd just continue forever like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bf/26/a7/bf26a70c57a3eb00ecd3...

So obviously if you move a country to the poles, it gets scaled larger and larger and larger.

It would seem at least reasonable to hope that one follows from the other. If our bodies fight the virus effectively, the viral loads we would shed ought to be lower. The period where high virus loads are found in our bodies will be shorter, requiring less hospitalisations, and thus chances to give it to other vulnerable people.

There are of course lots of hypotheticals here, and things to be concerned about, but a priori surely we should be hopeful it reduces infections too?

I understand this, and I am someone who started using free software for philosophical reasons. But if you're interested in free software succeeding, it's a better strategy to meet people where their needs are rather than push any particular selling point. If someone switches to Linux because their Steam games run smoother than on Windows, more power to them! And then we can sell them on all the free software that their distribution just happens to come with, and also educate them about the philosophical underpinnings along the way.

Never got into aoe2 but used to play a good bit of aoe3 (and have started again since the DE released). I used to hang around people who played ot semi competitively though I was never on that level.

I understood the game for the most part, but my execution was never good enough. Too much semi precise timings required and I could never get my APM high enough.
