Metric countries use 2 meters, and it's determined by how far droplets fly when you talk/cough/sneeze. If covid were only transmitted via droplets, 6 feet/2 meters of distance would be enough. Alas.
I would start by examining the getWifi.sh file a bit closer, chances are it's part of either a WPS or Network Bridge scheme.

Having thought about this story for a while now, I also think it is worth investigation, I might purchase an extender off Amazon.

The one part of the story I can't reconcile is how the Chinese IP attacker managed to find the device. I doubt this could have occured just from random port scanning so there must be a call home, possibly by loading a hidden image on the "Backdoor GUI"?

The story was well written, just not sure it made me thristy enough to drink the koolaid...or maybe it did! :P
What about integrating (and encouraging users to opt into) peer-to-peer distribution? If I understand correctly, this would work for Guix and Nix.

I'm not using Guix, but if I was I would be happy to do this. I have no data cap on my home internet, and my PC is usually on.

I've noticed this as well, and will probably continue to wear a mask of some sort during hay-fever season once the pandemic is over.
Actually, maybe they've read studies like this one: https://medium.com/@jurgenthoelen/belgian-dutch-study-why-in...
Nice, thanks for the tip! I've needed something like this a few times the last few months and knew there had to be something out there I was missing. This looks awesome.
I don't understand how the conclusion in the title can be drawn based on the data presented in the paper.

Basically, the researchers sampled 2 outdoor locations, and found low viral loads. Why is it reasonable to conclude that all outdoor non-crowded areas are safe?

I assume that not all outdoor environments are created equal. Variables like weather, wind, humidity, and population density probably all play a large factor in transmissibility. Certainly, more than 2 samples are required before making such a generalized conclusion?
Can happen to highly paid employees too. Since 2018, I've been owed over $20,000 USD by Surf Air (the LA-based startup in the airline business) that has failed to pay. Some of the other contractors were based out of California and even going the government complaint route has still not paid off for them. At one point, they setup a payment plan and made the initial 1 of 6 monthly payments and then failed to make the rest of them.

As a contractor, I've chalked it up as yet another possible cost of doing business however it is frustrating and there seems to be very little one can do that actually results in getting paid without eating up the majority of the payment. Lawyers? See eating up the payment. Collection agencies? My experience was they were out for a quick buck but it was basically no protection from not getting paid a lesser amount (revised terms that ate into the payment). Government? See the other contractors experience -- probably will pay off but company might go bust before it happens. Going public? I think this might be the best route because at least it warns others (although typically it'll be too late).

Stepping back, I'm doing just fine and I'd be far more annoyed for those who have to work off the clock at minimum wage.
Self-thought developer. Java, kotlin and Elm (fullstack) is my day job. Core contributor to Elm.

If you want to create a language that can run in browsers, you either need to target js or wasm. Wasm seemed like the better fit (i’m done with 53-bit ints), so I googled everything on that.

Read a book on GC (wasm has no such thing built in), read two books on Forth (after being intruiged by its syntax), Learned about compilers by looking at Elm source code.

I guess I’ve been around so many languages that it’s impossible not to form an oppi ion on what makes a good language, so once I knew the basics it was difficult to avoid making my own.
it's kinda apples-to-oranges to just compare the dollar value stolen in each category. like if I get mugged, the problem isn't just that I lost my phone, credit card, ID, and some petty cash; it's also that someone stuck a gun in my face. who knows how close they were to pulling the trigger? an employer shaving a few percent off my paycheck doesn't affect whether I feel safe walking outside the next day.
We should absolutely be normalizing wearing masks in public. In many parts of the civilized world (where, by miraculous chance, they've also handled Covid reasonably responsibly) people who were sick in public (or even just wanted to avoid putting on makeup) habitually wore masks pre-covid to avoid infecting others. I'd be willing to assert that it's exactly that habit (and a related set of hygiene conditions, in addition to an already-present infrastructure for home PPE) that helped them return to living much more normal lives through this pandemic.
I care about a small time clinician who finds out someone on his staff has been wasting time on facebook half the day instead of working on a project they need done. I care not even one teeny-tiny little bit about the same behaviour at a corporation that pays its CEO 300x the average worker, poisons tax policy with lobbying, and actively tries to outsource its workforce.

I care a lot about the small time dev who is forced into working unpaid OT. I don't give any shits whatsoever about big boy contractor charging 500/hour not getting paid for a week because of a dispute.

This is not a ledger issue, this is a power issue.
"look it's just autocorrelation but upside down and backwards" is ... closer to true than it really ought to be.

Yes! We have a plugin that supports all JetBrains IDEs (including PyCharm, IntelliJ, and Android Studio).
>>>Whats the point of setting it in a real war with real consequences if you are just going to erase all those realities?

Because these games are first and foremost a form of recreation? Certain things are abstracted because most people don't want to be bothered with them in their entertainment. Nobody would play wargames if they had to write a 5-paragraph operations order or FRAGO at the start of every turn either.

>>>but if you do that at least do it in a setting where you aren't insulting the real victims.

Short answer: ego. People want to think that, if given the opportunity, they would make better military decisions than the real-world leaders. "Yeah, Manstein won the Third Battle of Kharkov but I would have accomplished it with FAR fewer casualties." To exercise that, you need context and data that only comes from the accuracy of a real setting. Do you attack on the 19th of February, or a week later? How many kilometers is it to Kharkov? Do you want the culminating point of your attack to reach the objective with full lunar illumination, or none at all? What if there was one less Soviet mechanized corps due to an orders mixup? It's easy to cover all those different what-ifs by digging through the available historical records. To do that in a fake setting requires extremely laborious world-building that most people aren't willing to invest the time to execute.

Also, who says the "real victims" are insulted by sanitized wargames anyway? I know we have a large contingent of Eastern European members on HN, I'd love to hear their thoughts.

It's a combo of both, actually!
Awesome, really excited to see this!
Indeed, I've seen anything between 1-2 meters and a small moose (SI unit of distance in the local zoo)..
I have the same impression from videos like [1] but I suppose that is all that is needed to certify the aircraft. It may not happen in the "real world", you never know how everyone in a plane of hundreds passengers will react, but the design of the plane has to allow it to be "possible".

If you’re doing it for virtue signaling and the people who think it’s nothing but virtue signaling can tell because you’re open about your motivation, doing something for appearances harms the good you’re actually trying to accomplish.
> For example, we have code in systems that performs network retries, and I have code in my own software that performs polling operations when a request/response "should" work, but in practice, a variety of reasons cause it to be less robust.

Apples and oranges. The network is unreliable and all code dealing with the network should treat it as such. The file system and disks are also unreliable, but are probably more reliable by a factor of 10K than the network. Engineers mostly choose to ignore these potential errors via unintentional decisions or do stuff like let the process crash because restarting an API server once a year doesn't matter. Of course, not everyone has that luxury. Determining how much memory to allocate ought to be perfectly deterministic which is why this is such a code smell.

> where is the line, exactly?

The line to me is pretty clear in this case! There are all sorts of reasons why this code would be acceptable: if fixing the code to prevent the bug[s] is sufficiently onerous as to cause more bugs than the fix would prevent, or is so much work that it would never be undertaken, or so complex that the code is un-mergable, an emergency hot fix... all acceptable so long as the code is documented as such. In other words, the line crossed here was in the comment. Where did the number 5 come from? Where's the link to an issue tracking memory allocation/estimation?

I believe most comments in code are worse than useless - that we shouldn't merely document bad code, but write code that is so blindingly obvious and idiomatic that comments detract from its perfection. Comments exist when we deviate from the platonic ideal — the real world with leaky abstractions, deadlines, bugs and dollars.
Another thing that seems common to this theme is that the space colonies are often depicted as having a better technology base than Earth. Again, unsure if this is coincidental, or if it's just the authors' way of depicting human space colonists in lieu of the "scary alien invaders from outer space" fighting Earth.
Yeah, I feel that. I want to work on docs and knowledge-transfer a lot more in 2021. 2019 and 2020 were definitely full of sprinting to bring Caddy 2 up to par. I think in terms of major functionality it's settling down now, so docs and guides will be more feasible.

In the meantime, I always encourage anyone to contribute to our wiki: https://caddy.community/c/wiki/13 -- there's already lots of great topics there and room for plenty more, especially examples.

Hint: there's a LOT of market space for paid content to master the Caddy web server, if anyone reading this is looking to profit from their expertise...
Computer science is not entirely math. Compilers, for instance, care about real-world performance, not theory.

Physics is more mathematical than computer science, but there's no doubt that physics is a science.
The Netherlands and maybe other European countries use 1.5 meters (~ 5 feet) as their guideline.
Well this assumes uniform spacing between people. In reality it would be somewhat Poisson-like.

I would argue that assembly is not so bad if you take the time to learn it. A lot of the "high level" things that people attribute to compiled languages exist in assembly. And I also understand why it seems so unapproachable and why people don't want to learn it.

If the bar for entry into assembly programming in 1980 was so low that a child could do it, why are we thinking that we should lower the bar further today? Spend that effort on something which will actually help someone, rather than putting JavaScript on a microcontroller.
Consider an alternate universe in which there is no unpaid labor . you think that the unemployment rate would be higher or lower? OR that prices would be higher or lower? A variable amount of unpaid labor is built into the economy. Eliminating it would have all sorts of unforeseen and possibly undesirable consequences.
I did not negotiate enough total comp to afford a guillotine.

Amusingly, it is kind of a "two birds with one stone" situation where part of the reason why there is so much secrecy around salaries is that people will get upset when person x makes more than person y.

If salaries were equalized adjusting for certain things/on par then simultaneously, everyone knows roughly how much everyone else makes in the same role and you also somewhat alleviate the upset part when finding out.
It isn't a big deal to wear a mask all the time. I wear one in my workshop when alone all day. I semi-regret donating all my N95 masks last spring - I still cannot get good replacements and I'm allergic to sawdust.
There is no harm in wearing a mask when you don't need to. there is harm in messing up some borderline cases. So just get used to it on your face and forget about it.
Carmack's videos too are filled with fascinating technical details and thoughts. He rarely wastes words on fluff and is quick to point out shortcomings on his or his teams code as well as how to improve them. I find the way he communicates to be an inspiration on being a technical leader.

I don’t know enough about other countries’ wage theft situation to comment. I would assume countries with larger union representation would experience less wage theft of this kind, but I don’t really know.

I do know that other countries don’t incarcerate anywhere close to as many of its citizens as the US, especially for what amounts to a rounding-error’s worth financial loss due to petty theft (a handful of fighter jets worth).
I'm saying that the discourse on Facebook has expanded the Overton window so that fascist ideas have become much more mainstream. The Wikipedia article (and the sources) talk about moving or expanding the Overton window, not on contracting it. I think the concept of a contracting Overton window is used to make a subtle jab at political correctness. In reality, in the last several years, toxic discourse has been on the rise.
It takes a generation to create new workers. A quarter of a century before, you had men who went to war and die instead of a factory and stay alive. Now you have a new generation where men didn't need to go to war.
Ugh, sometimes I wish I could double downvote some comments, or that there was some "come on, at least have some decency" moderation here. I mean, of course, you, a random internet commenter with no medical knowledge whatsoever knows better than a plastic surgeon who deals with patients every day what information those patients need most to make better decisions about what is, for many of them, the biggest decision they have to make about their bodies in their lives?

"As a woman who gets tired of some people acting like I am only a sex object and the only parts of me that matter are the parts covered by a bikini"

What a petty, misanthropic way of looking at the efforts of someone who is doing their best to help people (not just 'people', women, specifically) at often one of the worst points in their lives. I hope you just wrote this comment off the cuff and regret it after re-reading it after your coffee, because if this is really how you feel, I feel truly sorry for you for being such a bitter, nihilistic person.

That's the last statement of the conclusion sections of the paper:

> Considering a typical inhalation rate of about 1 m3/h, as average between rest and light exercise (Adams, 1993), the concentrations would be low to spread the contagion via airborne transmission even assuming the mentioned increase of a factor 2.
Disappointing that all the images are built on the same shade of white skin. You're leaving out a whole lot of folks who are already underrepresented in a whole lot of research. I think it'd be helpful to vary the skin tones shown, or stick to a medium-tone (enough to be ambiguous) grayscale.
That's a potential real problem, but the concern should be across the board (i.e., how do we know other countries aren't funding me-too drugs) so it doesn't really help illuminate any disparity between countries (which is the context of this discussion).

I'm not trying to be dismissive, I just don't know how it's germane to the discussion unless we view all the other data through the same lens. The data I linked is per country in absolute and per capita basis that tries to put it in unbiased terms.

Are you claiming the US is disproportionately funding non-useful research? If so, how do we measure "useful" research funding?
Forcing Small Investors Out of Big Opportunities: The SEC’s 99 Investor Limit
The pilot has to follow corporate policy though. (Not continuing to Newark is not a safety issue.)

I've been in the same situation, and the first officer said as much to us. "Sorry, this is EasyJet, so we fly back to Gatwick where we have our spare plane and maintenance people. BA would have a spare pilot and a spare plane, and would fly that out with the spare parts and maintenance people to meet this one."
If the only thing that mattered was the fiscal harm, then shoplifting or embezzling or the like should also be a civil matter like wage theft. There's definitely a value judgement involved in the way our penalties are structured.
There's a different perspective as well. Let's say you have one colleague that speaks his mind all the time. Sometimes he says dumb stuff, sometimes suggests useful ideas. And another colleague, who's very nice and polite, agrees with everything you (and others) say, but he only does it to get optics points and is actually plotting how to replace you with someone cheaper.

This is happening here and now. Tech monopolies are commoditizing human labor, and social justice/immigration policies use noble excuses to bring in lower bidders into the commoditized market. This hurts everyone's well-being, this creates unnecessary tension between groups that are forced to compete directly instead of operating in separate market segments, but hey, the figurehead behind the operation sounds like such a great guy, when he reads his speeches from a teleprompter.
Because they have more resources, and open source is largely volunteer driven.

You've redefined VC here, but not for any useful reason. Putting money into a risky company is "venture capital". It's literally capital for a new venture.

The distinction you're making is between institutional and individual investors. It's worth talking about the difference between institutional and individual investors, but it's all venture capital.
Thanks for the comment. A sibling comment points out "time theft" which I have also heard regarding an employee not working, so to speak. I can honestly say I did not read economic policy pieces until quite recently in my life, so I had not, as far as I can recall, heard it used this way. I can also anecdotally say that most management in lower paying positions in the parts of the US I have worked are rather infamous for malapropisms.

Compilers are really just pure functions of String -> String/Bytes, so a pure functional language is a pretty good fit.

Besides, I know Elm like the back of my hand. I’d probably write in Elm even if it was a poor fit.

Yes, animations in Flash were much different than WebStorm or Visual Studio. It was very powerful, and had a javascript-like language to power it as well.

We should all carry a weathervane with us and make sure that we're not in the received end of the airflow. Isn't it simpler to just freakin' wear lower-grade masks outside? I'm tired of self-entitled people who don't know why a saying like: "Better safe than sorry!" exists or "Hope for the best, plan for the worst!" Use common wisdom, and let's stop this redundant polemic about face masks as it only pours fuel into the fire and accomplishes nothing positive for the humanity!

The house that I live in today technically has a secret tunnel that was built by my grandfather for my brother and I. There is a large pantry built next to the stairwell to the basement. The side of the pantry has a hole cut in it so that you can move from the area beneath the stairwell into the pantry. It's a secret room if you are small enough to enter it.

Someone I knew growing up really had a secret room in their house. Inside of a closet there was a wall that opened to a room that was really just the space between the walls of the room to access some ducting and the water heater. The secret door was definitely not obvious.
The trouble is that there are actual "anti-masker" that don't wear masks in crowded areas and are actually responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.
They should also charge reasonable wholesale rates in that case if you remove the monopolization of the last mile. In other countries this is actually how it works already, the underlying cabling is municipal, you just pick an ISP to transit over it.

Comcast charges $0.20/GB for coaxial. Verizon charges $10/GB for LTE. My actual cost for hosting side projects is below $0.50 per 1 TB. It is unreasonable if they are going to fuck with your traffic, tamper with your HTTP payloads and inject scripts into them, deprioritize certain data and still charge multiple orders of magnitude more per GB.
