Altering a person's chemistry is exactly what a drug does, so I may be missing what you're trying to illuminate here.

"Could" there be a drug that makes people both experientially more happy and more industrious to the point where they have more reflecting happiness? Sure, but there could also be drugs that cure cancer and make us smarter at the same time too, I just don't have any pragmatic reason to believe we'll see one anytime soon because I suspect they work on very different mechanisms
I would certainly expect that to be the case in a sane system. Sadly I have seen too many bureaucratic insanities around so it does not seem far-fetched to me.

"and added to a database that reported COVID deaths are pulled from." database or excel spreadsheet? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24689247

I don't use facebook, my sources are my aunt (my uncle died 5 days ago due to falling and hitting his head, combined with a stroke history) and a family friend who is a doctor (and claims to be aware of 11 of such cases), note that said doctor and my aunt do not know each other.

Switzerland is a much smaller and safer country than the USA, people Europe would come up with much better comparisons if they compared the USA to the whole of Europe rather than their particular niche.
They accepted those things because they had nothing else. The forked WebKit from KHTML, which was LGPL. It's not like they chose that license. Same with Samba. It was either take those things or invent something new. Especially at that point in Apple's history, they probably didn't have the resources to NIH everything. Today, that would be a different story, I'm sure.

I understand your point about outright banning GPLv3 vs just avoiding GPLv2. But I have to wonder what would have happened in an alternate timeline where KHTML, Samba, and GCC were all GPLv3 at the point in time where this universe's Apple adopted them. Would they have just skipped making their own browser and integrating with SMB?
It is mentioned in the introduction doc: https://kubevela.io/#/en/introduction?id=platform-agnostic-d...

Covid has had some surprising results. I tried to book a horseback riding lesson for my daughter as an outdoor birthday activity, and they struggled to fit us in. It’s not like it was the only place with horses nearby—This is rural Maryland—there are probably a dozen farms with horses within a 15 minute drive. Horseback riding just became a super popular activity during the pandemic.
>Still doesn't excuse pointing a firearm at her and her family.

If this actually happens its not shown in the video by the way. When she shouts that the officer is aiming at her child he is not aiming at a child ( she wouldn't be able to see from her position ) . I would be interested to see the whole video.

Good start.

Ah.

> I think the guns were drawn because of her not opening the door for a search warrant for 20 minutes.

Good to know that failing to open the door justifies cops getting to point guns at whoever. I'm sure you wouldn't mind having a gun shoved in your face because you had headphones on, or because you're out getting groceries and you left your kid alone, right?

Fun fact, in many states pointing a gun at someone is considered lethal force, because it's very easy to kill someone once you've done that. But apparently not answering your door makes it okay for cops to be a few pounds of trigger force from killing you, try not to sneeze!

And that's before we begin going down the "cops lie about the circumstances of arrests all of the damn time" road.

> I think it's reasonable for LE to assume

No, it is not. They are serving a warrant for a non-violent crime to someone with no criminal past. It is not reasonable to assume that violence was a likely outcome. They're also serving a warrant to someone who has politically inconvenienced the governor, the fact that she got a gun pointed at her should worry the hell out of you, not the fact that she didn't open her door.

Furthermore, we've built up our police state one "it's reasonable to assume that" at a time. In fact we should go the other way and demand that cops show that they needed to apply the force they did, not answering your door is not punishable by having a gun shoved in your face. Citizens have rights, you know.

"Comply, citizen" is something they say in dystopian fiction, it's not something you're supposed to actually express on your own.

Well, yes, 4:7 is 12:21.

But I think 4:7 is a lot easier to do in your head than 12:21 (3:5 is a little easier, at the expense of being less accurate); not sure why you did all that work to make it more complicated when you started with a fraction that gave you the ratio in its simplest form.

I’ve generally saved my HTML resume to PDF without any major issues as a professional SWE for the past ~15 years or so, although I’ve been dealing primarily with SV tech companies and not government agencies in the UK.

Microsoft Word is fine too but I would still use something like PDF for export and sharing (still not sure how Microsoft Word solves the usb problem for you).

Generally though I like something text-like that I can revision control more easily/edit in vim. Maybe I’ll switch to something like pan doc going forward (then you can generate word if they really want it).
You could certainly install a door that would be nearly impenetrable for the average police force, but there are other side channels to consider (windows). In my viewing of the internet, I have found that police will quickly resort to things like windows when some joker decides to install a bank vault for a front door.

Think about this - Do you want the police kicking in your cheap-ass wooden door, causing $300 in damage. Or, do you want them tying a bearcat to the side of your house, ripping out your entire living room wall?
It usually does in a bubble.
Sure. That's true. But follow the rabbit hole. Why do they have a BSD heritage? Why doesn't BSD use GNU software? It's anti-copyleft all the way down. Long before GPLv3.

Oh, and another thing: frequently attempts to play audio from one device will be silent because the headphones think another connected device is playing audio … even though it's not.

Weekly pill organiser boxes mostly solve this problem already, e.g. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=weekly+pill+organiser&f...

Value investing is, by general definitions, shorting growth. You are investing in today while intentionally ignoring tomorrow.

The value investors who have done well are those that recognise growth as a factor, and put money into Apple when they were comparatively cheaper.

The value investors who have done poorly are those who buy low PE stocks, which are stocks of stagnant and declining companies.
You are seeing the true nature of corporate greed and control show its ugly face. The end-game is clear: one browser controlled by one company, of great complexity and continuously changed to discourage others from attempting to compete, shaping websites to that one company's desires. Of course everything will be "standard" and "open", but that hardly matters.

One company has clearly invested a lot into the "JS only" propaganda and strongly attempts to silence the opposition. Turning all sites into ridiculously overcomplex "web apps" that only work in their very latest browser is their dream. It's obvious that a simple text-only or even text+images browser is not all that complex, so from that perspective, basic HTML and browsers that can handle it is a threat --- and cutting those off by making sites not work in them is the ultimate underhanded tactic. They can cheer all they want about "moving the web forward" --- and unfortunately a lot of the "young and impressionable" gets caught up in that propaganda --- but what they are really doing is helping this company further its control over the Internet.

This company is, of course, Google.

They do need some pretty wide support per individual device. A proper stack requires something like 6 different codecs, all of which are quite heavy and very different.

In any case, the transformations are not generic at all. You basically need to do one convolution, that's it. The headphones can provide the impulse response with which to convolve at pairing.

For things from Apple, of course, this is trivial.

>> Lumber costs are sky high.

Can confirm. Was going to do a little DIY job at home and went to go price out some wood and dry wall. Just about had a heart attack when I saw 2x4's were now $6 a pop!!

I know this has been a double edge sword since demand is sky high but a lot of the supply side suppliers are relying on China and they've all but stopped shipping a LOT of stuff from a myriad of regions. So yeah, demand is high but I've also heard the supply side issues with China are compounding the issue.

Are you seeing/having any issues on the supply side yet?
> I have to do explicit null checks and then the compiler/interpreter just "knows" that code in certain places is null-safe through flow analysis.

You need to do it anyway or you got a crash. Because remove null from a existing language completely is nearly impossible.

And now the compiler is able to know something went wrong in your code instead of happily see you use `null` as a object and crash the whole program.

Besides that, that also benefit the library users that the compiler/ide will tell them `you can't pass null here`
> But in September, we opened bars and restaurants and gyms, inviting pandemic spread even as we knew the seasonality of the disease would make everything much riskier in the fall.

In California, things were pretty restricted for the most part, with bars and restaurants limited to take-out or outside service and gyms either closed or drastically limited in capacity.

The current spread doesn't seem to be from businesses, and indeed retail stores are still open.

The American Heritage Dictionary[1][2] and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary [3][4] are two that come to mind, but I'm sure that you can find others.

As usual m-w is much sloppier when it comes to making distinctions between similar words, due to their philosophy that common misuse redefines words[5], but even they make a pretty clear distinction between empathy and sympathy and it's clear that sympathy is the one where one actually emotes with the subject.

I like the idea of separating the content from the presentation, although working with JSON directly to create the content, to me, is not fun.

Did you play around with just using markdown directly and embedding html tags in that in a similar way to format the page? I can't imagine myself intentionally writing web content using JSON. I'd probably have some other format up front that would be converted to JSON, but at that point I may as well just write some static page generator to create the html.
> It would be more honest if predictions like this were mentioned alongside articles in the press that claim lockdowns are the only option we have.

What are the other options? For all of humanity's advancements, quarantine-like behavior is our best bet against novel diseases.

In fact, many governments only implemented half-assed "soft" lockdowns. They should have acted immediately and decisively. Lockdown early and hard, at the very first signs that this thing was becoming a pandemic. And don't let go until it's under control.

Instead, we got this lame lockdown-but-not-quite (places of worship open, are you serious?), no mask mandate, nothing. And as soon as things start to look better, reopen. Oops, bad again, close. And now are are only prolonging the suffering.

Developing countries are once again in a bad shape, but richer countries should know better. Treat this as a war, support your citizens. Even though large companies like airlines are important, most of the focus should have been towards small businesses and individuals. Also on PPE at the very beginning.

There is enough money in the developed world to help with the problem. Make some fewer F-35 (at 200M a pop) if need be. That's a lot of food and rent money.
No, it means it's more important that they not be coerced.
The idea is to separate the data in JSON completely to be consumed outside the browser if needed, but still render correctly in the browser. The traditional javascript framework only solves the latter.

I tried to solve the quirks mode, but it is kind of hilarious that the browser needs the odd <!doctype html> to flip to standard mode. There are ways to inform the doctype on the headers or XHTML, but this would complicate a simple solution. But I was quite surprised how consistent is the look on different browsers, at least in the modern ones.
XSLT is the only way to do HTML templating on the client without using JS. I think that is valuable.

Mozilla Public License v2 doesn't get enough love.

It's copyleft, but not viral like the GPL is. It is GPL compatible but can also link to (and be linked by) proprietary code. It is file-based, so the rule is that if you modify one of the original project files, it has to be provided under MPLv2 - but extensions to the original library in separate files are permissible.

It also provides a lot of the same protections that Apache 2.0 provides in comparison to MIT/BSD licenses.
I think you're equating 'blocking' with 'shadowbanning'.

I abhor that underhand practice, and can't think of any reason why it is valid. If you want to tell a user to 'go away, leave me alone', you should be able to block them without having to leave your groups - it doesn't need to be secretive.
Whoops fixed :)
The simplest way to do this is to use the low bit of the address (so long as you align your memory to at least 2 bytes this is fine as all addresses will end in 0) as a marker for whether you've already visited that pointer.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_garbage_collection#Na%...

And yes, you're correct that GCs handle cycles without issue (that's a large part of the reason to use tracing GC over other memory management strategies like ObjC's auto-reference counting).

A lot of this research was done at NASA Ames in Mountain View. That's how I became familiar with it, I met some of the people working on it (a very long time ago). They had a lab where you could sit at the center of a sphere of speakers where they ran experiments on spatial perception of audio. It was really interesting. Broadly speaking, headphones should outperform surround speakers for spatial perception in absolute terms but it is much easier to generate quality spatial perception with cheap speakers than cheap headphones because of how it interacts with biology (see below).

In short, two "microphones" (your ears) is not enough to place a sound in 3-space, which makes audio illusions and perception gaps possible. Beyond time-of-flight and amplitude differentials, the human ear acts like a notch filter where the notch frequency changes as a function of angle of incidence. We don't hear the notch but the brain uses it to infer angle in a plane. This has significant issues e.g. it doesn't work well for new sounds with novel spectral signatures because we can't discriminate between a natural notch frequency and one created by the ear. It is possible to synthesize audio that breaks this part of our brain by synthesizing a set of cues that violate the laws of nature -- it is pretty uncomfortable. Creating spatial perception through signal processing has a couple limitations:

First, every human ear has a unique notch filter pattern. Spatial audio over headphones, which partially bypass the notch filtering, works best when they literally insert a microphone into your ear canal and measure the unique notch filtering patterns using test patterns. This can be fed into the software algorithms to create more accurate spatial cues for your unique ears. The perceived result is qualitatively different. There is no universal algorithm that works for everyone.

Second, the relationship between your ears and the sound sources don't change with headphones. In nature, animals either change the orientation of their ears, to basically sweep the notch frequency cues (humans have vestigial biology for this) or in the case of humans we move our heads for both notch frequency and time-of-flight cues. With headphones, the sound sources turn with you, so it produces no cues.

To make natural sounding spatial audio work on headphones, the audio source needs to be able to detect changes in head orientation in real-time and apply appropriate DSP to the raw audio. This is less of a problem with surround sound speaker systems because head motion provides these spatial cues naturally. I haven't tried it out but Apple's real-time head tracking plausibly provides the necessary DSP inputs to produce a spatial model that tracks as good or better than external speakers. Where external speakers fall short is that, unless you are in a carefully acoustically treated space, the space itself injects all kinds of spectral, temporal, and amplitude artifacts that unpredictably degrade the spatial cues in the audio.
