> And just conveniently blame China for being the origin of the virus, just because they were the first ones to detect it, and report it.

This is false, China has actively denied the existence of the virus until it was too late. The scientist who discovered it could have been a new kind of virus was blackmailed and threatened. The numbers China released were mostly false.

What actually stops Google from doing things like that other than their own internal rules and processes? Nothing really, other than the microscopic risk of getting caught, which they may or may not ignore depending on the advantage Google would gain from bending their own rules.

We're in a situation where we just need to "trust them" to not be evil. How's that working out for us?
Yeah, it's not just unsafe-eval that needs to be blocked, I just said that that was the specific feature that would have blocked this.

A good CSP would have protected against most injection attacks though (as long as the JS files have not been modified).
I can assure you it’s not being anti-science – it’s probably about a deeper understanding of how these things actually work.

> Without peer review, no one has any idea of what the vaccine does.
What if the vaccine is nothing but a big old placebo? How can we tell?

This is what the regulatory authorities do. The FDA, the EMA, the MHRA, and many others. It is literally their job (amongst others) to make decisions on whether to approve drugs based on the data that they are provided with.

The process of publishing data in a peer-reviewed journal is orthogonal to this. Sure, it’s an important part of the scientific process, but it is not part of the process to decide whether or not drugs work and should be approved.

The only point that was being made is that in this sort of situation where delaying a few days means more people die, prioritising the regulatory approval process over submissions to a peer reviewed journal (if indeed that’s what happened) is entirely reasonable.

> Better usability is always better

Ok?

The thing is, software is rarely created in a vacuum, if it was, we'd all be working towards perfection and never really reach it, nor complete or release any software.

You have to balance constraints, and sometimes one of those constraints is money, or energy, or head count. Whatever. There is always balances to be made, and sometimes it's not worth to spend 20% of time increasing the usability by 2%. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not.

The apps I build for myself, that will never be published, has about 5% of my time thinking about the UI, because it simply doesn't matter and thinking more about it, won't make my life better in any way. Sometimes internal apps have to be treated the same way, if the constraints force you to treat them that way.

I like parceljs too. I haven't used it on big projects (plus I'm not a web dev currently) but I found it to be more "config when you need to change the defaults" than "no config". But that's great. It works out of the box for a lot of stuff and you add some dotfiles when you want to customise.

Hi This is Per, then founder of Cognifirm. Thanks for your reflections; they are extremely valuable to me (us), and I can now tell you that the pricing will be changed because of your input.
Our pricing problem is this: We are moving from direct sales to online sales, so our model has to cater to both target groups. Direct obvious is the more expensive version. But it is clear to me that:
The model has to be more simple
The entry price will have to be much lower

This will be implemented shortly when we have had more time to finetune the model and its business consequences.
Cheers,

CentOS was definitely not started in the hope people would pay for RHEL. It was started as a real community project, taken over mid-run by RedHat.
And Scotch too is an adjective, of origin. But since you never separate it from the head noun (the omitted whiskey), it will always come last.

For those that don't know you can look at TQQQ vs. QQQ as a reference on Yahoo.

TLDR: TQQQ Short term buy and sell, high volatility, high risk (higher profit and higher loss possible.)

KEY TAKEAWAYS (investopedia)
The Invesco QQQs ("cubes") is a popular ETF that tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index. The Nasdaq 100 Index is composed mainly of technology companies and excludes most financial stocks.

TQQQ is one of the largest leveraged ETFs that also tracks the Nasdaq 100. Due to their natures, QQQ is perhaps best-suited as a long-term investment while TQQQ is built for short-holding periods.
+44 115 1234 123 is also more difficult to explain than "0115 1234 123" or even "1234 123", but it enables the whole world to telephone that number.

" Think leftist, anarchistic, community-oriented, spiritual-religious (which group I really like) but with a lot of menial/manual labor, a aversion of technology"

I've seen quite some of that community supported agriculture.

Basically, machines were invented and put to work for a reason.
Farming a field used to be backbreaking and still is, if you work a big field. Most of the communities I've been, struggle a lot with even a small vegetable garden.

In other words: big words, but low outcome, with the result of having to buy the food in the end.

"Like we might need less humongous farms producing one specific product but more smaller farms producing various products"

So I agree on that, but also on a smaller, diverse farm, I would use at least a small tractor.

But here I see the advantage of autonomous electric tractors: they could be made quite small and rather have more of them.

But I would really not go back to horse or human drawn wheat harvesting. It is not efficient. Those who like to do so as a hobby, have plenty of opportunity, but don't expect to feed the world with this approach.

It would be interesting to know how they realized there were 3 different sections.

In the video, he notes that 2 of the three sections have the same number of lines (10 iirc) and the 3rd section has only 2 lines.

I wonder if it was just trial and error that made them realize there were 3 sections or if there were "compositional" differences that made each section stand out from the others.

Because even going to the grocery store has risk.

So yes: never leave your home and never have company, or get a vaccine.

A slide hammer, a dead blow hammer, a flooring hammer, a nail gun, a staple gun, liquid nails/glue, screws and a screw driver (powered or not), a jackhammer, a power chisel.

If the idea behind a hammer is to use the momentum of a relatively large mass to drive a relatively small mass into a material, then the idea of a piece of steel on a handle is just the simplest thing you can manufacture as admittedly a versatile one but not necessarily the best one. If your task as the user is to join two materials together then hammer and nail won’t necessarily even look like hammer and nail (glue, screws). If the goal is to separate material like you might with a chisel, depending on the material you might not be using a manual hammer but something that looks very different, like a saw, a file, a jackhammer, etc.

What the person who mentioned the evolution of framing hammers is pointing out refinement of the hammer as it is. Creating a tool better suited to the user’s task is closer to what TFA is about.

I agree with your comment in the sense that the article does read like a PR piece, but it's not specifically marketing anything. That is extra baffling, because you would think that an article like this (poor substance) would be a run-of-the-mill marketing piece.
People are really enjoying WFH and don't want it to end. It's important to keep the fear strong.

Meanwhile, I am baffled we didn't prioritize n95(or kn95) masks. Well... It's government, I'm not that baffled

A significantly more rational policy would have been to prioritize masks with filters and for the less than 1/12 of elderly people who live with younger generations, move them into a hotel room and pay for food delivery and care services.

All of this is cheaper and healthier than what was done.
You were referring to applications that businesses use in-house. I responded to that point.

I'm sorry, I still think my point stands.

Even in-house software requires a good user experience, and the UI directly affects that UX. Designing a UI that works is a non trivial task; leaving it to people who don't have experience can effectively lead to a business losing a lot of money.
I studied piano full-time for a short while. My favorite thing about it was how working on my technique or a particularly tricky rhythmic pattern tickled my brain. I often found that I went through a few phases: “ahrg, this is impossible!”, “getting there but sloppy” and finally, often suddenly (after a good night’s sleep) “this is easy! I don’t know how I was ever not able to do this”.

Using vim and learning new features tickles my brain in kinda the same way. I don’t care much for the hacker credits. It’s a fun variety in my work day to practice some little feature that I read about, and it doesn’t look like I’ll run out of new stuff to check out anytime soon.

> When was the last time a compiler bailed on the very first error it hit and refused to do anything else?

Make still does this. (That's the "Stop." in the famous "* missing separator. Stop.") Many errors in Python still do this.

As late as 2010 I still saw some major C compilers do this.

99% of the toy compilers written for DSLs do this, or worse.

Good error recovery / line blaming is still an active field of development.
They don't know for sure. From the article:

Interesting that is also correlated with the standardization of UI/UX design software which allows designs to be pulled together without much thought.

There is a lot of garbage UX that seems a result of trying to fit keyboard and touchscreen interactions into the same hole. The UI flow for saving a document in MS Word is a good example of this.
Yeah, but this is known and taken into consideration, as far as I know.

Well, how do you know that 5G doesn't cause Coronavirus when it's February and no one knows anything about the virus? We now know that both subjects are unrelated, but I followed this virus from early January and it took the general population 2 WHOLE MONTHS to pick up on it. Those 2 months were filled with conspiracy theorists, and actually a huge number of them turned out to be right, like the very existence and seriousness of the virus itself.

Similarly, at the time masks widely agreed upon to be ineffective. Anyone seen with a mask outside was looked at weirdly, anyone buying masks or telling people to buy masks was called a conspiracy theorist. Reasonable people at the time were lied to by their own government into believing that masks weren't important, because the government didn't want to compete with their own population since they were running short on supply. https://twitter.com/Surgeon_General/status/12337257852839321...

The point is, out of your reasonable examples of things that are obviously false, I can already take issue with one of them because it depends on when you would apply the censorship. If it's February and you're applying censorship to "5G causes Coronavirus", you're also probably applying it to "buy N95 masks", and you're also probably applying it to "don't let Chinese people into our airports, avoid Chinese people altogether" because it's racist, even though that's the correct thing that should have been done, instead of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNMdg4morQs.

My point is, facts and truth are fluid, especially in new situations that we don't know anything about. And especially when politics are involved. By June everyone understood that lockdowns and social distancing were good and necessary, except that the entirety of media, academia, and elite society in general decided to give up on this for the George Floyd protests. If truth can bend this easily once it's convenient, why should I take it seriously at all?

So I reaffirm my point that I will absolutely not change my mind on this, and without giving it any pause. Truth doesn't exist when we're talking about politics, and trying to pretend that it does is naive. You're naive for believing that it exists. It's all about power and what's convenient for people in power (the media, academia and elite society), it's absolutely not about truth, and this year of all years should have woken you up to this fact.
Sure, but you also need to pair it with free Gov issued IDs for all individuals. The Voter fraud canard is a red herring when electoral fraud is an order of magnitude worse.
You're right if this was some included third party script, but usually these hacks involve an attacker getting access to the (PHP/HTML) source code and injecting stuff directly. At that point there's very little you can do to prevent JS files from being changed or the CSP being disabled at all. Very few web store systems rely on statically generated HTML pages, and the ones that do usually have some JS file for animations or functionality that the attacker can also modify.

CSP is great for blocking XSS and other such attacks, but I don't think it can be an effective defence in this particular attack. The only way I can think of to get CSP to protect you is to host no JS on the server itself, configure some kind of proxy (Cloudflare?) and inject CSP config there. An attacker could still compromise the website but they'd need to escalate their attack to the point of a DNS takeover or add a noticeable redirect to an attacker-controlled skimming page, both of which aren't very likely to be used against random targets like these web shops often are.

At that point who knows if tablets as a form factor survived.

To be clear, I think that a tablet (not specifically iPads which are expensive in their segment as any other Apple device, there is no cheap option) could replace most PC nowadays, but to reiterate what's already been said: Apple is not present in too many places, for a reason.

To make an example: I work for a company in Italy with 14 thousands employees.

The laptops they give us software developers today are gonna be the accountants PCs of the future. Unless they break before. In that case they are replaced by the supplier with something with similar specs but new. Probably it will be a different brand, depending on what's available at the moment.

It's not imaginable that a company like this, which is relatively small if we look at the real giants of the World (including many in Italy as well), will replace every PC with tablets, not only for monetary reasons, but because they had to re-train thousands of employees. Being in Italy I'm sure that only talking about it would end up in a strike. No kidding.

But even assuming that it would happen, they would buy cheap Asus tablets.

But even assuming it would be iPads, does this software the company has been using for 15 years runs on it?

The answer is most certainly "no, it doesn't".

Battery life and power efficiency is not a factor in such environments, they prefer to plant trees, be part of a renewable energy consortium or power the offices with solar panels, that they can also spin in PR, than buy Apple devices because they have an incredibly power efficient CPU.
It doesn't really matter to them.

And I tell you this knowing that I work there because I know that ethically speaking they are vastly better than the average. They really do care of many small things that many others don't, but Apple ARM CPUs aren't one of them.
