There is a math that you have to apply with the amount infected. Like a test that is %99 accurate for a disease that only happens %0.001 of the time will have high false negative or positive rate, which is somewhat unexpected result. More detail: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/XTXWPQSEgoMkAupKt/an-intuiti...
I'll call out for beginners at chess, there is no need to learn openings in order to improve at low level. Focus on just playing games and tactics (chesscom paid or lichess free). These things will get you to a level where you can start to parse the difference between openings.
I'm of the opinion that Musk was write to consider that a "wtf" result - but he could have done a much better of messaging why it was such a wtf.

If a cheap test gives independently random false negative results when administered multiple times to the same human, and doesn't give independently random false positive results at an appreciable rate (which is what I've been told about that test), the test is broken for no good reason.

Whoever designed it should have designed a testing protocol where you perform the test multiple times to drive the number of false negatives down - and clearly communicated that this was possible if you were looking for accurate test results. Yes, sometimes you aren't looking for accurate individual test results, e.g. if doing statistical studies, but how these tests are being used frequently you are.

I tried a Oculus DK2 and got motion sick, and that's burned into my memory like a drink that gave you a hangover. I'm only going to try it again in the 5th gen after they've eliminated all issues.

I'm a little sad there's no video.
I reject Ian's categories. Brave is not only about "pessimism" and never was. Of course this makes us hard to categorize.

Main point is we grew and grow. Firefox shrinks, it's dying. I'm not saying that a bigger browser in decline would be easy to turn around, but Mozilla has not done right by Firefox.

I do agree with Ian that loss of Firefox founders hurt. We made brevet promotions and hires who did not hit the heights of hyatt, blake, joehewitt, and bengoodger. This is an oft-told tale, often requiring restart via a different codebase while maintaining the extant one.
Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu term meaning "humanity". It is often translated as "I am because we are", or "humanity towards others", or in Zulu "umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" or in Xhosa, "umntu ngumntu ngabantu" but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity"

Taken from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy

But yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian's Unstable branch.
Relatedly, is "brownout" the best word for this case? If they did a percentage of auths or maybe intentionally made them take an excessively long time I could see it. Otherwise this looks more like planned blackouts. Or maybe an "auth flex period", since "brownout" or "blackout" might be offensive.
"White can start by moving his King's pawn 2 spaces, i.e. playing "e4". This move has many strengths - it immediately works on controlling the center, and it frees two pieces (the Queen and a Bishop). This is a popular first move, leaving Black with two options"

I don't remember much from my chess obsessed youth, but going e4 and moving the bishop/queen into position for a 4 move checkmate will always remain. When I subbed middle school years ago it was my go to whenever playing students. Oh man the reactions I'd get when it worked, lol.

I've been meaning to get back into chess more seriously, this looks like a helpful guide.
True, but is that really such an advantage? Consider telling the big boss: "We're moving to CentOS, but don't worry, the 'ent' actually stands for Enterprise".

And regardless I am not really sure how I feel about the professionalism of backronyms in general.
There's no requirement to follow 1990s rules.
W3C published editorialized snapshots of WHATWG HTML5 specs only until 2017; they're now just redirecting to WHATWG github's HEAD. SVG2 (part of HTML5) has reached CR status in 2018, and ended up to include only minor amendments vs 1.1/1.2 anyway.

W3C is mostly involved in CSS specs today, with significant influence on this past decade's advances, and also source of a lot of the complexity of browsers. CSS is a primary candidate for a formal spec among web standards IMO, since HTML5 the markup language is sufficiently covered by either the procedural spec or SGML.
This is just throwing your arms up in the air and saying it's unsolvable.

I don't give up. Make a temporary hospital with ip web cams pointed at all the vitals. Build a quick and dirty dashboard that lets doctors/nurses monitor dozens of patients at once instead of having to physically walk around everywhere. If engineers can get more done with less using automation, medical professionals can do it too.
> The problem is that most laypeople don't even know it exists.

How can most people not know it exists, when it had a majority user share at some point?
I think only monolingual English speaker feel this way.
I'm using a Mac. I don't actually know what happened.

Some cursory googling found 10,000 other, but similar, problems with Emacs so I just gave up hope.

I was using Doom, so I assume there was some issue loading Doom.
CentOS is Community Enterprise OS. Enterprise is right in the name.

"Enterprise" isn't right in the name. "ent" is.

Until a few weeks ago, I didn't know what the "Cent" part of "CentOS" meant, mostly because I didn't care. I somewhat assumed it meant the same as "penny".

Rocky Linux actually sounds good to me. Like a solid, rocky foundation on which to build your house.
I agree we need more cash payments to humans. But we have to be careful not to confuse money with stuff (the goods and services produced by the economy). Giving money does not produce any more stuff, it only increases the competition for and price of the stuff that is being produced.

We are producing less stuff because of the pandemic, which means there is less to go around (however it gets allocated), and no amount of money will change that.
The next CentOS will be where the core developers who are actually contributing to project will move. However, branding does matter if you want enterprise following. Rocky does sound unprofessional.
Can you give some examples of where computer science academic theory helped in software engineering?
As many people can attest, popular Linux distributions (like Ubuntu or Fedora) work just fine on select hardware, like ThinkPad X series, or Dell XPS. But Linux on desktop is fundamentally a tinkerer's OS: great if you like tinkering and flexible when you need it but otherwise a waste of time for a lot of people :) I like tinkering and use Linux ~exclusively but don't recommend it to most of my friends.
Do you mind if I ask what company you're with? I'd love to put it on my list of companies with good interview practices that I would want to apply to. If you're not comfortable with getting that specific, just for my personal curiosity, is it a FAAMG/big tech company, or other? haha :)
Ok, to be fair I will tell you what I do miss:

-- Seeing an amazing world I would never have seen through conferences, observing time, telescopes, etc.

-- Being able to read what I want, explore what I want, in the hours of the day I want

-- Being able to do something to the end, fully and well

For sure, sometimes I wish to go back to those positive things. But right now the reasons I left continue to outweigh the reasons to stay/go back.
It's a matter of perspective. I found the previous generation intolerably slow compared to Chrome, but the new version is now my daily driver. I wasn't using any addons which makes the difference, but still, boy am I happy to use Firefox instead.
I agree it is a problem. I think there are several reasons:

1. It's a mountain of work and loads of people involved are doing it in their limited spare time.

2. It's even more of a mountain of work because Linux developers have to write all the hardware drivers themselves too. On Windows drivers tend to be written by device manufacturers but that rarely happens on Linux because it's very difficult to write closed source drivers and they have fewer Linux users anyway.

3. A large proportion of Linux users and developers have drunk the Unix kool-aid and think that everything should stay exactly as it was in the 70s. Text based config files, services controlled by Bash scripts, etc. It's pretty much impossible to make a reliable modern system with Bluetooth, WiFi, external displays, hotplugging, etc. with that attitude.

4. Hardware makers only test on Windows so some of the bugs in stuff like suspend are probably hardware bugs that Windows happens not to trigger.
Thats not the same as ordering by content posting/creation. Thats by indexing pass.
My weapon of choice is kubuntu since 18.04 LTS. The only complaint I have is that konsole's cut/paste/selection mechanism eventually ceases to work (copy or select does nothing, old buffer contents remain) after a konsole process has been running for a few weeks.

Unlike your desire for effects, I prefer KDE because you can still completely disable effects and the compositing that make it performant and get excellent, glitch free remote desktop performance over a fast local network using VNC; almost no perceptible lag in normal development actively.

KDE has matured. They took the 4.x fiasco to heart and now KDE development is highly conservative and unobtrusive. I'm frankly amazed; popular Linux desktop environments have such a long history of design failures due to iconoclasts blowing everything up that the current state of KDE seems almost miraculous.
My impression is that Google is simply having to play the same game their own advertising business makes others play; in order to keep getting customers (eyeballs for adsense+doubleclick) they have to pay for it because the competition also advertises (via paid default search).

Firefox switching to Yahoo for default search was probably an eye opener for them; 30% of global search traffic (at whatever fraction of users didn't change their search engine) is a boatload of money and from public estimates at least an order of magnitude more than they pay Mozilla for the traffic.

From a business perspective Google might benefit if Firefox disappeared but there's no guarantee. Opera, Brave, Safari, Edge, etc. could take up Firefox's install-base without significantly increasing Chrome's. At least Firefox is a known entity for them and they would probably rather have a guaranteed platform with Google as the default search engine than having to negotiate with whatever sprang up to replace Firefox.
.io is a particularly sad story. The residents of the British Indian Ocean Territory (which .io represents) were forced to leave the islands in the 1960s to make room for a naval base. The UK has subsequently established the islands as a marine reserve with the express intent of preventing the original inhabitants, or their descendants, from ever returning to the islands.
A scenario where public health authorities don’t allow the public to have a test because the public might not understand how to interpret the results will likely undermine trust. It will solidify the belief that these authorities treat us like children, and their recommendations cannot be taken at face value. And that may be a more significant cost in the long run.
I know, but I'm gonna cite Twain anyway, it's truthy ;-).
Indeed, the person you're replying may have experienced a parse error, but this isn't the same person as the one who claimed it's an oxymoron.

Maybe they made that claim because an alternative to Electron probably still uses HTML5 and JavaScript, and HTML5 and JavaScript are huge so it's hard to believe such a thing could be lightweight.
Besides, privacy and safety online should be available to all, regardless of financial status.
tig along with htop, tmux, ag, and vim are always the first packages I install on any new host. They're indispensable.
Actually, it just dawned on me. What if our issues with social media, the stock market, etc are not due to the underlying system but due to bot exploitation. Bots allow a very, very small demographic to have a very, very large influence and impact. Especially in systems where the wisdom of the crowd is technically the driving factor of popularity and reward...

I mean, if in theory, you could make sure one person can only have one account and zero automation, would we see a benefit?

Yes, I know difficult to achieve as I've written scrappers and bots, albeit for nothing nefarious. I know there are hurdles, but as a thought experiment, would we actually see any benefit? Same like, you would never talk to someone in real life as you would online. Is there that kind of effect if bots disappear?
Would PetrOS work better for you as a serious name?
As a citizen of another country, I'm not aware of any country that is shipping tests to citizens at their homes. Maybe your numbers you quote are correct - there are other problems, like relying on people to report their positive test results and isolate. A lot of people would, but many also wouldn't, because they can't afford the loss of wages. You'd have to cover wages lost, or some percentage anyway, and that would mean requiring another test at a trusted facility, which increases the complexity again...

Maybe the concept would be workable, but it's also not a simple slam dunk, and again, I don't know that any country is doing anything like it.
Pioneers, Settlers and Town Planners
No matter how good the intentions are, the name is pretty bad.
Also depends on how you split it. I'd wager a lot of metropolitan areas are over already. Smaller cities are close to the maximum, but most people in the middle class or lower will feel it is way over already simply due to the cost of things.

There are quite a few fields you could at least slash in half overnight too. Bureaucracy is one: here (small European country) we have way too many managers and people that are only there to move boxes around and cause communication overhead to explode, offering practically no benefit whatsoever.
Yes I agree with everything you said. I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind.

A) In an environment where banks can lend every penny they have, is there a way to see how much of the money outstanding is loan money and vs how much is hard money? With a 10% reserve ratio, the theoretical max was $10 of loan money for every $1 of hard money. Therefore the ratio could be as high as 10:1.

2) What would happen if some banks wound up having -10% assets in reserve after a few defaults?
>Arguably, no one should be running a server that long in 2020.

That's mental.
Having owned every Oculus headset since the Kickstarter, I think the Quest is the first truly consumer-ready VR headset. At $300 it’s competitively priced against gaming consoles, without requiring a gaming PC or separate tracking sensors. It has a healthy library of games, 6DOF position tracking, and hand-tracking controllers with excellent haptics.

I was tremendously excited about it, to include messing around with VR development in my spare time, until the Facebook account debacle dropped my enthusiasm to zero. I’ve used my Quest maybe twice since my account got caught up in all that. I have no plans to develop any software for such a closed platform with arbitrary gatekeeping.
>The branding here I think is a big issue. The name "Rocky Linux" sounds too homebrew and unprofessional. CentOS sounds Enterprise-ish. I find it hard to believe any corporate client would take it seriously.

I agree. I mean, who would take something called "Red Hat" seriously?
Tig is just faster, staging and unstaging take a fraction of a second.

I've used Tig daily for years (about ten) and basically use it for for quickly browsing the log and changing what's staged - probably less than 5% of its features.

Everything else I do via the command line with ZSH's excellent git completion.
Because the GTK developers do not care about backwards compatibility. There isn't really any other reason, as you wrote the Win32 API is backwards compatible as are the X11 libraries and a few other toolkits - perhaps the most stable is Motif, which goes back to the early 90s.

Of course they do not have to care about backwards compatibility since GTK is just a library that happens to be popular enough to be widely available but not really part of any platform. The OS itself (Linux) is binary compatible going back decades.

It is a bit frustrating though, but really if you want a stable GUI API either write against pure xlib or use something like Motif which even though it barely gets any updates probably wont go away any time soon as it is used in several long standing scientific and enterprise applications (ie. the unsexy stuff you rarely hear about but still work behind the scenes).

It might be interesting to see what it'd take to make Motif a bit more themeable though.
This varies by industry of course... the Bay Area is definitely the best place to score computing and electronics related stuff. But southern CA has way more aerospace stuff, New England (especially CT and MA) have a lot of precision instrumentation and manufacturing equipment, and for stuff like robots and heavy duty metalworking machinery you really want to be in the Rust Belt.
Ok, then use technology to help the current staff do more. How many inefficiencies are preventing nurses and doctors from servicing more patients? Build a dashboard with the vitals of dozens of covid patients that a single qualified nurse can monitor instead of making a half dozen nurses all walk around to all the different beds and manually check everything
Any other old-timers remember the "JATO Rocket Car" posting in Dawrin Awards on Usenet? From Wikipedia entry:

You all know about the Darwin Awards – it's the annual honor given to the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way. Last year's winner was the fellow who was killed by a Coke machine which toppled over on top of him as he was attempting to tip a free soda out of it.

And this year's nominee is:

The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal embedded into the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. the wreckage resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it was a car. The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. The lab finally figured out what it was and what had happened.

It seems that a guy had somehow gotten hold of a JATO unit (Jet Assisted Take Off – actually a solid fuel rocket) that is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra 'push' for taking off from short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. Then he attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO!

The facts, as best could be determined, are that the operator of the 1967 Impala hit JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles [4.8 kilometers] from the crash site. This was established by the prominent scorched and melted asphalt at that location. The JATO, if operating properly, would have reached maximum thrust within five seconds, causing the Chevy to reach speeds well in excess of 350 MPH [560 km/h], continuing at full power for an additional 20–25 seconds. The driver, soon to be pilot, most likely would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners, basically causing him to become insignificant for the remainder of the event. However, the automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles [4.0 km] (15–20 seconds) before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes, blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface, then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles [2.3 km] and impacting the cliff face at a height of 125 feet [38 m], leaving a blackened crater 3 feet [0.9 m] deep in the rock.

Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable; however, small fragments of bone, teeth and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.
What I find annoying about the distro upgrade cycle is that it always automatically disables my 3rd party PPAs and then I have to go and manually re-enable and update them for the new distro version. This is a really poor experience.

> which we conveniently heard nothing from him afterwards

He reported back on the PCR tests in a fair amount of detail, tl;dr he was unambiguously positive. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1328747352400785409?lang...

Meta: The amount of shit he gets for things he supposedly didn't do that he did, and supposedly did do that he didn't, is amazing. There's a lot of good reasons to criticize him (and most other humans), but people are remarkably bad at criticizing him for those things, and remarkably bad at not criticizing him for other things. It must be very frustrating to be a celebrity.
Took even less time than you think. I remember the original Rocky announcement was the same day (or maybe next) as IBM's.
Due to unusually high call volumes
Oh, that's what you thought of! I was confused as why people take offence at Rocky.

As a Calgarian, the first thing I thought of was Rocky Mountains. Due to their proximity, you see the name is so many things and places here. For example, the area surrounding Calgary is called Rocky View County.
I don't think the math is quite right on this.

Assuming there are 200,000,000 people in the US over the age of 18, and assuming that each of them gets $1000/month for 12 months, we have 200,000,000 * 1000 * 12 = 2.4 Trillion, which is similar to what we actually spent. The problem is, instead of uniformly distributing that 2.4 trillion among our citizens, we added complexity (and waste due to overhead) by giving money to special interests (airlines for example) and big businesses in various ways.
It would be awesome if they added support for FIDO hardware keys since it is supported by OpenSSH 8.2. PIV/GPG based solutions are a pain in the butt to use.
Agree - sadly social services are woefully underfunded and that is unlikely to change for some time.
Some of the topics we dive deep into include:
- Microsoft’s best practices for managing an open source program office
- What Stormy has been working on at Microsoft in the last year
- Innersource and the key to growing company-backed open source projects
- How to give back to open source software projects you rely on
- And much more...
Why don't they go with a membership or donation model like Wikipedia? Any kind of financial independence for them would be wonderful in my view.
