And the long term effects for 10+ year periods can't really be evaluated.

Otherwise all modern life would screech to a halt. For example, please stop using all new tech products developed in the last 10 years. And all the things developed with new materials science in the last 10 years.

We'd be back to the stone age. For these cases we measure short term effects and we extrapolate based on similar materials, structures, etc.
We now have a big problem in the form of skeptical people. Although, these are just non-tech people who consider themselves smarter than everyone else. How can people write about terrorists and hackers ... If everything were so simple, all the systems of banks and classified information would have been hacked long ago and the world would have been chaos. As for the insecurity of such a movement, I agree. But this is only for now, because there are many questions to which there are no answers. I don't care about promises when it will be, because I perfectly understand that it depends not only on the developers: there are many external reasons, self-driving cars are unlikely to quickly gain popularity. Autonomous driving has a lot of responsibility, concentration on the move. Yes, everyone has their own driving style, their own rules, but this is a solvable problem in the future. By the way, I advise all skeptics to read https://blog.andersenlab.com/de/can-self-driving-cars-drive-... Of course, there are difficulties with implementation, because pedestrians are unpredictable. But the biggest problem is in non tech people, read the tech articles first before condemning the ease of accessibility of the system. The only problem is that machines can't think.
Good Books for a Lousy Year
Nannou is great! I tried it and found that:

1. The initial setup and build time is perhaps a little long or complex for use in classrooms/workshops but it's fine for personal/professional use.

2. Rust's build time might not feel like a natural fit for creative coding. Even though initial build times are long (~3 minutes on an 8-core 2019 MBP), rebuilds are fast enough to create a short feedback loop. It's not as fluid as dynamic languages like Clojure/JavaScript, but it's good enough.

3. It's a nice way to learn Rust.

4. MacTuiTui is worth following for their Nannou sketches: https://www.instagram.com/mactuitui/
They absolutely are comparable. They are the primary tool many academics use to prepare papers. In engineering I’d say it’s a 50:50 split between those using one or the other.

Most students use Word while the exceptional ones have already embraced LaTeX.
Does it work though?

Suppose I want to minimize the time taken from someone having not done any programming, to implementing a B+ tree. Is this really what you would recommend?

Also, sometimes code takes a long enough time to run that one can't instantly show the results upon changing some code. That's not something you can dismiss with "that's just asking the wrong question". There are actually things that need computing, and some of them can't be done quickly.

I wonder if a good measure of a programming curriculum might be, how quickly can a student become able to make something self-hosting (though, the curriculum should have various natural stopping points before this point, depending on what skills they personally need).
And an acronym for this is I32V.

> Android pairs newer bluetooth devices essentially the same way apple pairs airpods now

This isn’t really the part of Apple’s Bluetooth that I appreciate. What I find immensely useful is when you want to switch the headphones from one device to another. Apple’s solution isn’t 100% accurate, but on any given day, it’s common for me to switch my AirPod Pros from my phone to my watch to my laptop to my Apple TV. Before I switched over to all Apple gear, I needed to either spend 5 minutes re-pairing my headphones or (what I really did) have dedicated Bluetooth headphones for my TV.

This is the major benefit for me... the seamless switching, not the pairing.
Teams videochat works flawlessly on my linux worklaptop as well (native though), I get disconnected from video calls a lot using Slack... If Teams fixes their chatroom issue I'd definitely be willing to make the switch entirely.
WHO looks at infecting healthy people with Covid-19 to speed up vaccine trials
I think the important part will not be what gets rejected, but what gets accepted. Nobody will ever remember the rejected error handling or genetics proposals; but people will definitely take notice if the eventually accepted one come attached with Google names.

It's hard for an open source project started (or dominated) by a single company to shake the appearance of being insular. At this point I believe Kubernetes has major contributors from various companies, but I still mentally think of it as Google because, among other things, a bunch of the infrastructure is still Google so it feels very much like Google has dominant control. The dominant company will need to actively drum up interest and try to convince external contributors to take up the work to make it look less lop-sided.

I don't mean this as an attack on Google — getting good community governance is hard; I've also been on the dominant company side on other projects (generally not great at fostering a good external community). I believe it takes extra concerted effort.

> Second step is to fill Additional information. First of them - an email address.

> Someone may ask: 'Why Recipe Generator might need my email address?' That's a pretty good question, especially when you concern your privacy, but the answer is rather straightforward. Recipe Generator is quite a complex piece of software and it needs some time to prepare your recipe, especially when there are many orders. The generator will email you a recipe as soon as it's ready, so you don't have to keep hanging on the website.

> Recipe Generator is not only excellent artificial chef, but also very caring about it's customers privacy, so after he emails you a recipe, he immediately forgets the address (that's why you have to provide it many times).

I think you have a great tool if it works, pretty well monetised if you want to go that route, but I cannot tell if it works and am not willing to submit an email address, sorry. So, just some basic potential user feedback. Perhaps a tool for more, of course.
Docker "works" but has huge performance costs (disk IO) on CentOS7.
Ubuntu LTS has a long-ish support period (5 years and 5 extra years on top for "extended security support") and isn't that different than Debian, just slightly ahead in some ways ( did you know that Debian's OpenSSH even in the latest stable, ships without options available since mainline OpenSSH 7.2 ( Include), while being on 8.2?).
When your company software stack is turned inside-out by Oracle reps to look for unlicensed JVM's on penalty of really big fines (sorry, opportunities to buy more Oracle software) all those nice-to-have features don't seem to matter that much.
Sadly it seems so. I was arguing in favour of lock-down in the beginning, when a lot less was know about the virus, and it appeared to be more deadly than it actually is.

I thought Sweden was stupid for not locking down, but to my surprise their case numbers didn't spiral out of control. Their hospitals managed fine. At that point I reevaluated my position, but it seems I am one of the few who did. I new see the that lockdown skeptics seem a lot more data driven in their approach than pro-lockdown people, who seem to base things on assumptions and politics.

Đăng Ký – BibSonomy
Seems like you haven't been to South Korea for example. I see makeup shops literally on every corner, tremendous mall culture (which is sort of dying in America) and highend stores are jam-packed with newly minted millionaires.

Here is how Costco in China opened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UfO4gpML4g

Not to say Americans don't love to spend, I think America has exported this culture to the rest of the world which is that every holiday is an opportunity for sale, put debt on credit card and get addicted to the dopamine rush of shopping. I don't think its unique to America anymore.
Then please, enlighten me as to what exactly is stopping anyone from calling these people disgraceful until it ends up in court, particularly considering the fact that the video isn't especially ambiguous as to what happened. In fact, how is "a court of law" at all relevant to the matter of their being disgraceful?
Because organizations like the CIA have almost complete impunity to do whatever they want outside of the borders of the United States.

Why worry about some guy who lives in a shitty apartment in the San Fernando Valley and works at 7/11 when you can use all the toys in the arsenal to disappear clerics in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan without anyone saying as much as a word.

They get to play with Predator Drones. JSOC drops kill/capture teams out of HH-60 Pave Hawks with satellite and drone overwatch in Afghanistan. They can run snatch-and-grabs on the streets of Italy. Nobody even knows all of the off-the-books operations they're running in the horn of Africa.

The domestic United States is pretty boring by comparison. What, are they going to hassle the 7/11 guy? Why would they even bother? Congress would throw an absolute fit if they caught wind of it.

It's not because they can't. It's because they believe their own bullshit and get to do way too much cool Rambo/James Bond stuff outside of the United States.

Regarding the police. They're not exactly the enemy of the people. Our relationship with the cops is sort of complicated in this country. It's more that they're an institution with a lot of freedom and discretion, relatively poor training, low entrance standards, they have guns (and we have a lot of guns too), and they're loosely operated by a checkerboard of local and state agencies, rather than being a monolithic state entity.

A lot of the calls our police go on are mental health-related, and it burns a lot of cops out. Add that to poor de-escalation procedures and training, historical emphasis on policing of drug-related crimes in a way that that disproportionately affects minority communities, and well, there's trouble brewing.

If you ever get a chance (I know it's a cliche), but watch 'The Wire.' It's an HBO TV show that is pretty entertaining and does sort of go into a lot of the subtleties and problems of institutional policing in America.

I got a little sidetracked there, but in answer to 'what makes you think that the organizations whose goal is to protect the state, and not the people would be any more benevolent?' I say because it's more boring and congress would throw a fit. And I wouldn't say it's because they're benevolent per-se, but there is a LOT of believe-your-own-bullshit patriotic sentiment in this country that is hard to understate. We have an almost fetishistic worship of our military, and the notion that they 'fight for our freedom' and 'protect' us. That also carries over into the intelligence community to a great degree.

But, with the ongoing efforts to overturn the most recent presidential election, and the President's usage of federal resources in the summer protests, I have to say a lot of us are having to rethink a lot of stuff.
Worst sites are not slow, right. Worst sites are those that break visual contracts (cls in the article), and half of “fast” sites do that. You can see it when page is already loaded for few seconds, you scroll/interact with it and then suddenly it behaves as if it was reloaded or jumps to another position right under your finger. You misclick on a link, go back, repeat. It does that not because a top banner loads, but on its own programming quirk. That’s annoying af and should be downranked to the bottom just like any snail-paced site.
Yes, but as I said it still has some bugs and Valve themselves don't advertise it on the Store page.

> "Cerumen will thinly coat the ear canal to protect it. When you mess with that flow, you create little build-ups, kind of like road traffic."

I think the issue is that there is little evidence for Q-tips causing problems. With sincere respect, to me, this sounds like a "just-so story", a plausible-sounding explanation without actual basis.

> "Again, this is done with a little spoon by a third-party or by using one carefully (they also come with cameras and flashlights). You remove the build-up with accuracy, you don't just jam cotton in there and randomly scrape at your ear canal."

It sounds like the issue is not "little spoon" versus "cotton swab" but "accuracy" versus "jamming". Anyone jamming anything in their ear is gonna have problems, whether or not it's a little spoon or a cotton swab. If you can acknowledge that people can carefully use a little spoon on their own just by care and feel, then logically you would have to acknowledge that some people, perhaps those with wet earwax, can do the same with cotton swabs.
ROGD is bogus and the term is only ever used by transphobes or people who've been duped by transphobes.

Littman went to anti-trans online forums and asked parents for experiences. Unsurprisingly she found people who were anti-trans.

If I was a gender-incongruent child there's no way I'd come out to those people, which is why my eventual coming out would come as a surprise to them and appear to be rapid onset.

Littman's own university had to issue corrections to the paper.

No health organisation anywhere in the world uses the concept of ROGD, and many have to keep debunking it.
Ask HN: Is Windows Malware?
At every point they are pushing one drive, and other services. Basic local tasks hang because I’m assuming Windows is connecting to a server for telemetry.

Looks like they found an effective way to get around anti trust and abuse their monopoly position in OS and Office.
I did try to deploy CentOS 8 on several occasions during 2020 but mostly found it was not ready for what I needed to do.

So? Open source != community driven.
GPLv2 was written in 1991. GPLv3 changes the wording in Section 3(a) to "durable physical medium", but at the same time it gives other possibility including "Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge".

Everyone was doing network distribution of GPL software long before GPLv3 came out, effectively treating a download as a medium customarily used for software interchange. Not a physical one, but GPLv2 does not say anything about that.
Where I work, software purchasing is outsourced to a third-party company. I can appreciate the value this provides.

And part of the reason why I hate the trend of turning everything into services is that regular (middle-class and below) people don't get to outsource the increasing amount of relationships they have to enter into.

I'm suprised most that Emacs users on Windows is a minority. Linux and macOS takes the helm for the most Emacs users here. Second most surprising stuff was that the number of people using the Spacemacs configuration was much lower than I expected to it to be as imo it's the most polished Emacs experience out there. Also, the results from the question of what was your editor prior to using Emacs caught me off guard as I personally switched from VSCode to Emacs so I thought the majority would be so as well, but it turns out most people actually switched from Vim! That makes me think that the Emacs demographics seems to consist mostly of old-timers who have been programming quite before the appearance of modern hand-holding editors like VSCode or Sublime Text.

On a side note, the Emacs community really needs a proper Discourse forum and a Matrix chat channel. Tbh, the r/emacs subreddit is the only Emacs 'forum' I know of. I don't hate Reddit but I'd rather discuss about Emacs somewhere else.
You should read the article and the source article from The Debrief before casting opinionated derisions. I'm pretty sure the multiple military officials that reviewed the evidence and the trained fighter pilots that saw it would have no problem identifying a weather balloon.
The vast majority of people dying of covid are pretty old. Why do you say that's it's old age for two diseases but not covid?

If you are coming from FP, XQuery is arguably a better fit. You lose template matching, but the syntax is much more concise (although still verbose by PL standards).
As others mentioned already, just replace Reading with Social Media in that quote for 2020 and you’ll get nothing but the truth.
To be honest ... I kind of do. It's not that I don't think the goals are a waste of time, those are great, but it always seemed to me that the much simpler approach of a yellow skin tone solved the same problem in a much simpler way. Similarly with the gender modifiers, a gender-neutral depiction always seemed like the better option to me.

Covid doesn't spread exponentially. It follows a gompertz curve. We would all have had it by now if it was truly exponential.
I believe they should have closed source the OS, Android being open-source is the number one reason for its fragmentation. What i dont understand is the "security" logic given by fuchsia. How is Linux less secure ? I dont think anyone starting a new kernel now can guarantee its security to be superior to Linux, because Linux had 25 yrs of evolution to where it is now. That logic is pure garbage, the real reason probably is NIH. And if Google ever actually hopes to compete with iOS technologically it better choose a superior stack and fuchsia is far from it.
