Apple sort of does this on mobile Safari and its a frustrating / unexpected experience.

If you are on a website in mobile safari, and you hit the share button, and select Copy. What gets copied into the clipboard is actually the Canonical url rather than the actual one you are at.

So for /amp/ pages, it ends up copying the non-amp url.

imo, it's a bad experience because sometimes canonicals and non canonicals aren't exactly the same. For example, if I'm looking at a specific filter or sort, then it might make sense for the canonical to be the non-sorted version. But if I'm sharing a specific url, I want it to share exactly what I'm looking at.
I really think this is the aspect people are missing.

This helps a lot with people who already wanted to cancel plans, but didn't have "permission" to.

Now, people can say: "Oh, I really really wish I could attend, but I'm following the CDC guidance. I'll really miss you, and I'll definitely be back next year."

I dunno which mobile platform you are using but I use iOS and if you watch YT via the browser you can block ads with its content blocker and you can even use some JavaScript in an shortcut to re-enable picture in picture (it’s a little more of a hassle, you have to press share then the pip custom shortcut but it works).
Even when not considering browsers - working with git server-side is a pain as it's so coupled to the filesystem. Not only you have to be careful about races, but also you have to know at which state is the repository at the moment. Any time a command fails, the repository is in an unpredictable state (is it a merge or what???), so the code using git has to delete and reclone...
Fauci made a recommendation based on data at the time. Which was later demonstrated incorrect, he colleted updated data and changed his recommendation.

I do think the chilling effect from big brother remains and we don't know if intelligence agencies collect about people, building profiles for example.

What I know is that agencies couldn't produce evidence of data collection helping with their mission. And it becomes a problem if the work too closely with political parties in my opinion.

What I do have seen is panicking about certain people that could gather some crowds and we do know that intelligence agencies like to disturb a civil right movement or two. I demand performance from people payed by taxes and they cannot deliver.

It's not silly at all. At work, They are wearing masks, staying socially distant, have shields and blocks in many cases,and keeping the economy afloat.

Contrast that to crowding within 6 feet of 5+ family members unmasked for hours, traveling and spreading virus everywhere for a holiday that celebrates native americans giving food resources to ill prepared settlers?

What IS silly is that this is a holiday, it's a fun but nonessential day. Do you think Turkey day or Jesus's "birthday" (aka coopted Pagan winter solstice day) is worth the 1000s of deaths that they will certainly cause? The pandemic that has killed 250,000 Americans in just 8 months is far, far more important than a couple family meals.
Yeah, exactly. The proxy is a part of Isomorphic-git. You're basically just using git via HTTPS. The proxy just injects the GitHub oauth token into the request (and handles the CORS problem of GitHub).

Anybody got the number to SR Hadden?
Not long ago Google has automatically enabled mid-roll ads for all videos longer than a certain length [0]. Most likely, its net effect is that more ads are played and as a result, YouTube's ad revenue has increased.

Now they implement a similar measure whose net effect would probably be comparable - i.e. an increased ad revenue.

It is perhaps logical for Google to behave like that, purely from the financial point of view. However, they could have done it a long time ago. It is unclear to me why they believe that the right time to introduce such measures is now.

Maybe they believe that their user base is currently large enough and stable enough that the decreased comfort levels while using YouTube would not motivate a critical portion of them to leave. It remains to be seen whether that is true.

Or, perhaps, their ad revenue growth is slowing [1] and they are trying to compensate for it even by using measures whose long term effects are unclear.

AI-based transcription and captioning platform Verbit raises $60M Series C
Anecdotally:

I got to spend a week making daily visits to a hospital this summer, and of course ended up spending a lot of time chatting with the care team about the pandemic. For context, the room we were in was next door to the space set aside for the COVID-19 isolation cohort, and the some folks were back and forth between both areas throughout the day. As far as customer-facing jobs go this year, having your customers be, not just anyone, but specifically people who are a known SARS-CoV-2 infection risk, seems like a pretty singular situation.

They all felt pretty safe, though, and, at least up to that point, hadn't had a single staff member test positive. They attributed this to everyone on the team being very scrupulous about masks and hand washing.

Somewhat similarly, and less anecdotally, my state recently released some information about their contact tracing efforts, and, while they didn't give any specific numbers, they indicated that workplaces did not seem to be a significant source of transmission as long as mask policies are being followed. The bulk of the transmission was from social gatherings, both in home and in public. There were some case studies of super-spreader events at public gatherings, and the general story is that, as long as the staff is sticking to the policy of wearing masks while at work, they are generally not getting caught up in these events.

So, I suspect it would be fine as long as everyone involved kept a mask on at all times.

The problem with getting together for a Thanksgiving dinner, then, is that you simply can't share a meal and (properly) wear a mask at the same time. Heck, you can't even offer your guests light refreshments and have them properly wear a mask at the same time.

Our society considers those people in “essential services” to be sacrificial animals. They really don’t matter as long as we keep benefiting from their work. It’s brutal but it’s always been like this, just less obvious.
Having well set expectations & standards for building out your microservices seems like a fairly obvious way to claw back many of the advantages / normalizing behaviors that the pro-Monolith camp advocates.

This article seems to argue that making everyone use an RPC library is enough. But rarely is there good monitoring & observability built in to that. Other tasks like discovery &c may seem superflous, but it brings a well-defined set of expectations that incoming engineers stand a good chance of knowing. You're not just bringing in Monolith style genetic material & practice, you're bringing in common genetic material that others will know & be familiar with.

The overhead seems debateable. Performance can be quite good in some cases, depending on choices of underlying tech. The author talks about the cost of maintaining the system, but in the two modest sized environments I've seen (under 100 nodes), the transition was extremely painless & fast & required little effort, & nearly no maintenance. It also drastically reduced the effort we had spent & intended to spend instrumenting our existing services, so it felt to us like the maintenance cost was hugely negative.

The arguments about the proxies limiting your available options are somewhat interesting. For 99.999% of companies, I'd say that using RSocket or Aeron is way more fancy tech than you should be targeting. I do hope HTTP3 support emerges relatively quickly. My hope is that gRPC has some plans in the works somewhere, and that once gRPC starts to progress, the proxies will rapidly catch up.
> It’s not particularly utopian....A student who has been taught to read comprehensively, communicate clearly and think critically should have no trouble acquiring that knowledge.

That sounds pretty utopian. Firstly, I don't think you can reasonably assume any mass educational program will reliably produce students like that, so any program that assumes that will likely fail a large proportion of its students in pretty significant ways. Secondly, your exclusive focus what you define to be "fundamental skills" and exclusion of anything that you deem "not fundamental" seems more of a personal bias than a well-founded educational program. There certainly exist bright and highly-motivated students (perhaps you were one of them) who would build on that foundation and complete their education like you assume they would, but I'd judge they're a minority. Thirdly, there's a social aspect to education that your focus on skills misses. Things like civics need to be part of the curriculum, because even if a student would have no trouble learning the subject independently, there's no guarantee they would actually choose to do so. However, the American system of government (unlike some other systems) can't function without widespread civic knowledge and engagement.

Any company that wants to survive long-term doesn't do that. So go work for those instead. Companies who treat code this way aren't software companies, and they ain't gonna stick around for the long-run. They just use software for some end, and given their apparent lack of attention to detail, they will go out of business pretty soon. That is the majority, unfortunately.

This is basically a red flag for mismanagement. Even startups can't work this way. You either need to hire engineers who have enough experience to make the right trade-offs under high pressure, or you will likely not survive the long race after initial MVP and funding. However, a lot of startups are not funded for the long run either, but rather to quickly make money for founders and potentially be bought by some large fish, who stamps out competition and replaces the product anyway. So there is that.

If you read carefully, Apple's claim is about the M1 chip, and the supporting "tests" were conducted using the Pro. Then, they separately state that the Air contains the same M1 chip, implying (but not stating) that the Air is faster than 98% of laptops sold.

As we know, the Pro should be faster because of the thermal management (fans) so Apple is using a little sleight of hand here. But, I'm surprised the PcWorld writer didn't catch this.

Apple is also claiming the M1 is faster than the chip contained in 98% of PC's sold. Not 98% of all PC models sold. But I agree with the author, it's a strange claim because that number would certainly include low and mid end laptops like Chromebooks.

Note: I'm going off of the text shown, I'm not aware of what the video (as shown in the screenshot) is specifically claiming and whether that differs from the above.
Healthcare personnel get COVID as such higher rates than most other fields because of the rate of exposure. Being in a small room with someone with COVID for a few hours is far riskier than passing 100 people with COVID on the street or in a big box store over the course of eight hours, where your exposure would be measured in seconds or minutes.

Most jobs outside of transportation also limit exposure to a relatively small group of regulars like a neighborhood grocery store, so we're already in the range of acceptable consequences (since most people need to work to eat). Creating transmission links between disparate regions is outside the range of acceptable consequences (IMO, and for the first year at least)
I assure you customer-facing retail employees experience plenty of yelling at work.
Bought my wife the new M1 MBA as a replacement for her 3yo Macbook. She loves it. It's significantly faster for her applications, the keyboard is a return to one she likes, and she's not run into any issues with it thus far.

If the Docker issue is resolve, I'll likely jump on a M1 MBP when they're available.

The article also says the NSF has been looking to divest since 2006 in favor of other projects and had a signed agreement to transfer operations to UCF. It's not simply a matter of whether or not it's still useful, but whether it's worth the cost relative to other facilities.
You seem to be under the impression that things are fair during a pandemic. It's not, and shouldn't be.
Also, Facebook discourages anonymous accounts, even going as far as locking you out of the platform unless you supply the company with your cell phone number and driver's license.

As a result, there are many communities that I don't join, and there are communities that I stay silent in. For example, in the Facebook group for the area that I currently live in, it is common place to doxx people who disagree with majority of users. It's gone as far as having the mayor doxx a single mother because she was critical of decisions the city made, and I want no part of that.

You are correct regarding SIGINT, that allies don't mind being spied upon. What they do mind is when they themselves are being spied upon. Like Merkel's phone being tapped. Or the US recruiting on ground assets in Saudi Arabia.

> Using a shell is just painful for me in anything other than macOS for that reason alone.

On Linux at least you can use Ctrl-Shift-x, Ctrl-Shift-c and Ctrl-Shift-v for cut, copy and paste in the terminal. So again it's just a case of getting use to the shortcut differences.

On macOS Del can also be found on fn-Backspace and I often remap the right Alt key to Ctrl.

It's pretty easy to adapt to either with a little time.

Merriam-Webster defines clickbait as:

something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest

In this case the headline (from the Mississippi Free Press) is paraphrasing a quote from MSMA President Dr. Mark Horne. The paraphrasing agrees with the quote in context and does not appear to be designed to exaggerate or sensationalize the facts being reported.

Here's the relevant section of the article:

The state’s top health official urged even Mississippians who are having small holiday gatherings to observe 6 feet of social distancing and to hold the gatherings outdoors, where the chance of transmission is lower.

“We don’t really want to see Mamaw at Thanksgiving and bury her by Christmas,” MSMA President Dr. Mark Horne said during the meeting, concurring with the state health officer.

“We’re going to see some of that. It’s going to happen,” Dobbs replied.

Horne agreed.

“It’s going to happen. You’re going to say hi at Thanksgiving, it’s so nice to see you, and you’re either going to be visiting her by Facetime in the ICU or planning a small funeral by Christmas,” the MSMA president said.

Sounds like that would be an easy use case for elasticsearch indeed. I've seen it handle much bigger data sets. Solr would work as well. There are probably a few other options on the market but elasticsearch would probably do pretty well on this even without a lot of tuning.

For reference, I once threw the entirity of open streetmaps at it before it even hit 1.0 to implement a simple reveres geocoding thing. Basically a couple hundred million street segments, some polygons, etc. At the time the geospatial support wasn't great and very new and very CPU intensive. I got away with indexing all of that and running it on a single node cluster with a xeon and 32G of RAM and spinning disk (RAID 1, no SSD). It worked great. Very responsive. Indexing only took about 50 minutes or so. Most of that was my parsing logic. That's not comparable of course, I'd expect this to be faster on the same hardware with a current version of Elasticsearch. They've made a lot of leaps with improving performance, memory usage, cpu usage, disk usage, robustness, etc. in the 7 major versions since then.

There are plenty of problems that are unique to men, whether that fits your narrative or not. Vastly higher suicide rates, vastly higher workplace deaths, widespread infant male genital mutilation even in developed countries, selective service, court bias (criminal, divorce, and custody), lower life expectancy, vastly higher war casualty rates. Is it really that upsetting to you for these issues to take the spotlight in the context of masculinity for one day a year?

By the way, most of those groups you listed already have awareness days.

Like simcop2387 said, a codegen backend which is focused on wasm will likely never be "made slow".

Wasm is in the end close to a form of high level assembly. Which means it is (should be) already preoptimized as much as needed/wanted/possible.

Cranelift still needs to do some optimizations, especially wrt. platform specific aspects like register allocations and similar.

In the end you don't want long load times when using wasm (at least in the web browser maybe in other places too).

Through maybe in the future you might have some options to opt-in to some more time intensive optimizations for e.g. in browser gaming. But then rust could just not opt-in.
