Yeah I agree. This type of solutions can always end in the wrong hands.. But you don't need to go that far. The same agencies that buy it can use it in an unlawful way.
If you have a device and it's unlocked, one can simply open signal app and read the messages. You do not need to do any "hacking" here. I fail to see any extra value in the app, except maybe they are looking to get some of the taxpayer's money funneled through to them
Mine does not seem to be super accurate vs measurement with a metabolic cart. Apple Watch says ~48, metabolic cart was 55-58.
That's probably because Slack isn't the "main" communication where you are. Where I work it's the opposite, people answer slack but don't notice emails, because Slack is how we're "supposed" to communicate within the company.
Once you know how it works, you would just overwrite the checks for track 9 with NOPs (or a fancy picture of your cracking team’s logo)...
That is what i said, that it can be optimized away.

"exist" is the wrong word, "is useless" would be better. It is like.. you have a spanner in a box labeled "a" and you have a box "b" that has a piece of paper that says "look in a". You ask for a spanner and you get told to look in box "a". The box labeled "b" is then completely useless. One day some guy, weirdly named "compiler", decides to trow away box "b", and nobody cares.

But we have to assume that a compiler will compile the program just as we wrote it. Otherwise we are not talking about the language, but about the compiler. This is gone off topic, if there even was one.

I'm almost always on ##linux ##philosophy ##programming and #music on freenode :)
Why I like them? They are about topics that interest me, in #music people often link stuff I'd have no other way of discovering, and if I am getting into a groove, I can link to something and someone else will link something similar, which I may have not heard before.

Then there's the anonradio channel, but also "com" on the sdf, and the #tildetown channel on.. tilde.town :)
Those are mainly just to hang out and talk to people about whatever.

Now, your turn, answer your own question! :-)
The disparity would be much larger per calorie rather than per $. Staple foods tend not to be irrigated.
ISA expires after 5 years, so there's definitely a range where making more money during that 5 years will cost you more overall.
> set up a real DB, cache, whatever

You should shoot for both, actually. If your tests require a live DB to run, they can't be automated (or they can be automated, but failures won't tell you much useful).

There's a non-unit-test value of having good code coverage, too: being able to run any function independent of the rest of the app, with arbitrary inputs. When you have a problem that's difficult to reproduce in a controlled environment, it's really useful to be able to run a function that's normally ten function calls deep all by itself over and over again while trying to isolate a problem. If you have to run the entire app to run any of it, that becomes impossible.
Fortunately, at least in the U.S., our building codes for new and renovated buildings help ensure that, over time, most of our buildings will be well-insulated.

But, I don't know how well current codes ensure that all aspects of IAQ are reasonably safe, particularly in residences. I'd need to check, but not sure they seriously address prolonged, elevated exposure to VOCs. I fear that decades from now, we'll learn we harmed a lot of people via prolonged exposure.
I have heard of various ride share services stranding folks in the middle of nowhere because of lack of signal.

You're right. I agree with you. Thanks for clarifying.
YES! I love night trains and I travelled all over Europe and China with them. I've travelled probably at least 100000km on night trains.

As much as I love high speed trains I hate it when a night train that eats zero of your daytime gets taken out of service and gets replaced by a high speed day train that eats half of daytime.
How widely accepted is Garmin Pay? It was only in 2019 that I got comfortable going out for with my iPhone and no wallet, since there were several nearby businesses that would accept Apple Pay. Is Garmin Pay accepted at most businesses that accept Apple/Google's contactless payments?
Why would you include railways and runways but not train stations and airports?

It's not possible to create a new destination, add additional capacity to an existing destination, or maintain existing capacity without additional costs to all major parts of the infrastructure, for both trains and planes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_flying_restrictions

Night flight restrictions are quite common in Europe.

Not for all airports though. I don't think Stockholm/Arlanda has such a restriction - it's located in the middle of nowhere for a reason.
Some fleeting sense of pride in one's work, I would suppose. But yeah that doesn't move those dashboards.
In fairness, the "Can't write desktop applications" issue doesn't seem to be restricted to Google. The Microsoft Teams app for iOS is fine, nothing special but it works. The Microsoft Teams app for Microsoft Windows is just complete and utter garbage. It's laggy, it's missing features that the mobile clients have, and it's just kind of a mess all around.

In case anyone was wondering why Apple is going with the "iOS/iPadOS apps on the desktop" route, it's because this is so incredibly common; great, first-class mobile apps and nearly unusable, garbage Electron-based desktop apps.

Edit: Plus, in regards to Google, something about Chromebooks. A good desktop app on a Chromebook is just a web app that works well in Chrome. Why make a desktop app for what they seem to think is just an outdated computing metaphor using APIs they don't control?
Yeah, that's who the post was written by (Which I actually did read).

Okay so the pain I had was taking retina screenshots and having them show up in retina resolution.

The site is written in MDX and then `gatsby-plugin-mdx` does the heavy lifting. What I could not get to work was Markdown formatting for inline images, especially not for smaller images. They always ended up being shown at 2x.

So now it's just an image, imported in to the file at the top, and displayed further down.

import outlook_folder_structure_1232_expanded from "./Outlook__folder-structure-12-32-expanded-min.png"

And then just a straight `<img src={outlook_folder... }` where it needs to appear.

As for making them sharp and small, they're just screenshots from my Mac run through one of the many online PNG resizers. From memory that gave me a file with a 78% saving and if it wasn't near magic then I couldn't tell you how it did it because there was zero difference to my eye. I can't remember which one I used, just try a few.
Pornhub and the (formerly named) company Manwin grew their business mostly on pirated content only to buy large porn studios later on with the gains. It surely helped that the industry wasnt too litigous and judges surely were reluctant to support such cases where the whole industry may be perceived as morally objectionable and indecent by parts of the society. Der Spiegel Magazin has an 8 year old article on Pornhub and its German founder, it's lengthy but worth a read:

Can you specify how are you doing it exactly? Very interested.
At my company, we use WhatsApp alongside Slack. It's primarily for legacy reasons, but we're seeing actually a really interesting phenomenon: because WhatsApp exists as a way to ping someone with an emergency request that should disrupt their flow, we can have a culture where direct messages and mentions in Slack should be answered reasonably promptly but not immediately, and should not disrupt bandwidth. So Slack, even with little red icons appearing, becomes a safe haven for creative thought, and operational craziness can be isolated elsewhere.

I wonder how many more productivity and sanity points society would have gained in the past few years if Slack had built in an @@ or @! symbol for a "SuperPing" that's differentiated from a normal ping (five knocks after the brush, perhaps?). Or even provide a structured way to set a priority on a mention, letting you reference that someone was involved in a thing you're writing about or that they should see it as an FYI, but make it clear that they don't need to worry about it immediately. You can make the UI have sane defaults so it's not overwhelming, then you either let culture sort itself out if people are misusing the system, or otherwise ensure there are speed-bumps to misuse.

It's ironic that even YouTube streamers benefit from being able to triage Superchats, with color coding based on the monetary value the sender ascribes to getting the streamer's immediate attention. Why is donation-based entertainment more sane than the business environment?

At the end of the day, humans don't work well when they're "always on." There's a balance between UI simplicity and the fundamental UX principal that not everything can be important. I do wonder if there's research on how many classes of things people can handle on a screen - rather than a binary classification between mentions and non-mentions, is there anything preventing us from handling a third priority level?
thank you for sharing.

I am disturbed by the unusual color scheme. The usual color scheme being this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube#/media/File:Rub...

One of the key interest of C compared to more recent languages is that everything is explicit. With a finger you can follow the code as it runs and know exactly what is going on and when exactly.

This has not been true in many years. C appears to be such a language, but optimizing compilers have learned how to find and optimize undefined behavior in code that most C programmers don't realize is unsafe. As a result there can be a considerable gap between the code as clearly intended, and the code that will be generated.

See https://blog.regehr.org/archives/213 for more on this. Including real world examples of things like validation checks being elided by the compiler, leading to real-world vulnerabilities in programs which clearly have checks to avoid exactly those vulnerabilities.
"Proprietary" does not necessarily mean "paid" or some other technical term relating to a source license - it just means "our own variety of X".

Any potential drama in the Electoral College vote is now past. All of the states where there was pressure for the legislatures to appoint Trump electors rather than the Biden electors that won the vote in that state have already voted, and went to Biden.

It currently stands at 240 Biden, 232 Trump, with only California, Oregon, and Hawaii left to vote.

California has 55 votes, so Biden wins unless at least 26 California electors who are pledged to Biden are faithless electors (and that would be if all 7 Oregon electors and all 4 Hawaii electors are also faithless). That ain't gonna happen.

California electors meet at 2 PM PST.
Don't wait. If you're feeling the burn ask for help or find something else NOW.
Half of the listed smells of old Paris are hardly natural smells.

Anyway, I don't think people are being 'delicate'. Instead, as we clean up our act, smaller offenses become comparatively large, and just as noticable. The reverse of nose-blindness. For example, over the years, the cleaner the air in my house the more readily I can discern wildfire smoke on the air.

Most of the time nature is not particularly rank. The smells of pine or grasses or dirt are quite subtle.

How long ago was your metabolic cart measurement taken? I’ve been getting a lot less exercise this year because lockdown, would it be plausible that your max VO2 has actually decreased since your last in lab measurement?
The measure becomes the goal.

Ok, this feels a bit nitpicky. Sure, you can get multiple days out of a smart phone if there is relatively light usage but on the whole, most users charge their smart phones daily, versus most feature phone users would charge weekly.
Being willing to be inefficient in terms of performance per square millimetre of silicon to be more efficient in terms of performance per watt was how it started. Having less cruft in the ISA that let them be more creative in other areas might be the more important factor now.

> People from china going home is one thing... but there are still people from eg. Netherlands (and other developed european countries... and underdeveloped too, and african, and southern american, and a lot of asian too), who want to move to america (and actively do, especially coders and engineers), while those people moving to china is rare.

There has been a fair amount of African immigration to China, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africans_in_Guangzhou. Given the actions the PRC has taken to restrict it, the actual demand might be higher than the numbers indicate.

China has plenty of Western expats, as well, especially places like HK and Shanghai.

But my point still stands. Immigration numbers are a lagging indicator. They tell you about how things were in the past, not necessarily how they are now or how they're going to be in the future. By the time you actually see them change, it will probably be too late to undo damage caused that change.

In short, looking at immigration numbers to shore up feelings of national self-confidence is kinda foolish, since it'll just lead you to rest on our laurels. In my view, it's better to look at how perceptions are changing, and try to correct the reasons for those changes.

For instance: my friend never thought the US would handle something like COVID so badly, and especially not so much more badly than China. That +1 to China's reputation, and -1 to the US's. Add to that the fact that most of the stuff we have in the US was made in China (and thus available there, too, neutralizing a US advantage), etc. It's not to hard to see that, unless something changes (e.g. a more competent government, more solidarity among the people), it's not inconceivable that the immigration flows might slowly head to parity then reverse.
Change the name and maybe I'll check it out.

And that's the motivation. Without gatekeepers, they believe they can more successfully push their misinformation.

That Atlassian Confluence model you gave had some serious issues, they they are going to turn off the option to keep the old UI as well, and it is an enormous strain on Engineering resources to keep two different versions of an entire application UI up to date.

It takes some getting used to. I used to make frequent trips by overnight coach between the north of England and Belgium. The coach would make several stops throughout the night, people would come and go, there was a pesky check at the UK/France border, etc. It was a dreadful experience (sleep wise) the first couple of times. But after a while I got used to it and just slept through the whole thing. Even managed the pesky border check while half asleep.
This Social Cooling site is nonsense.

If you don't like the idea of someone maintaining a "digital reputation" based on your activity on platform X, don't use platform X. It's that simple.

Also: "We should compare this problem to Global Warming." Similarities? Social cooling is subtle and complex, just like global warming! Such insight.
>> The catch is that many people view Slack as e-mail but with an expectation of instant response.

I don't get this, because email is instant response. It arrives more or less instantly. Almost all digital non-verbal communications can invite an instant response.

Why is Slack so different than email?

The excuses are the same... "Well, I didn't have Slack open..." "Well, I didn't have Outlook open..." Hell, you could go back in time and say, "Well, I didn't have ICQ open..."

I don't see any difference.
This is a really cool concept. Computers are getting so advanced now that many of us spend our hours fighting about performance differences of Intel vs AMD vs Apple Silicon, without even fully understanding how a computer works. The glory days of hacking together a computer are seemingly gone, but this product appears to attempt to bring that back and I embrace it.

I wonder if there's a market for a "scratch and sniff" astronomy children's book?

There's also a smell on ISS EVA suits upon repressurization. Last I heard, the mechanism was unclear.

There was a "smell of space" perfume kickstarter[2], and then "of moon", but IIRC both were working from descriptions rather than chemistry.

I saw someone ask, what would a Falcon 9 first stage smell/taste like after it landed. It reminded me that most science education content is very sensorially impoverished. Elsewhere, someone reported their half-century-ago geology professor, as emphasizing that you should bring all your senses to bear, and taste your rocks.

Material sensory properties ("smooth vs rough", etc) are taught in Kindergarten. But the descriptive ontologies are ad hoc, so I've wondered what leverage might be obtained by swapping in something more principled from industry. So what about about smell? Either in the spirit of material properties, or more "artist's eye for color", or music appreciation?

I picked 14 April 2021, leaving Wien Hvf (U) at 20:13 arriving Berlin at 08:55. "Sparschiene Nachtverkehr Nightjet + Anschlussticket Nightjet." "Sleeper Bed", "Compartment with 1 bed (Single)".

Bear in mind the comment at https://www.nightjet.com/en/ : "Due to the travel restrictions caused by the corona pandemic, we are reducing the Nightjet traffic to probably 8 February 2021 ... As a precautionary measure, no bookings are currently possible for the affected trains from January 10th to March 24th, 2021", confirming johannes1234321's comment "During Cornona this probably is different".

Though the article says:

>[Health Secretary Matt Hancock] said there was "nothing to suggest" it caused worse disease or that vaccines would no longer work.

I do wonder in general about the "herd immunity" strategy and the likelihood that a worse strain or one that's resistant to the current vaccines comes along.

I assume that the probability of mutation is basically proportional to the number of people who are infected by SARS-CoV-2. So, in addition to all the usual reasons why letting the virus spread freely until most of the population develops immunity (for some unknown length of time) is a bad idea, it seems like the spread of the virus is also setting up optimal conditions for the virus to evolve into something different or worse.

I'm not an expert though, and I imagine there are probably other factors I'm not aware of besides number and severity of infections in determining whether a virus evolves or not.
