If GTK is operating in a situation where there is no “rich corporate force” to sponsor the maintenance of old versions then it is a strategic error for them to break backwards compatibility.

At this point I cannot imagine a sane third party application developer choosing to build on top of GTK. The clock starts ticking on the life of your application the moment you choose GTK.
"Their job is to protect the health of the pubic and work to mitigate the spread of a highly-contagious virus that will likely hit 2M global deaths in fairly short order. "

This is a good example of how heavy handed approach beats reasonable regulation. Somehow I should consent for cookies (which I don't even know what they do) on websites I explicitly visit but my consent not needed for collecting health data ?

Having a cheap and simple covid test will greatly help arrest the spread of COVID whether or not FDA gets that data. Having said that there might be some marginal benefit for FDA to have some data for which the FDA should incentivize users by asking them to give consent, offer discounts and promise anonymisation.

A lot of people will call me a Libertarian sshole for pointing this out, but remember a rogue admin like Trump weaponized various terrorism related programs to target large groups of immigrants. Later Miller used covid as a weapon against lot of immigrants effectively bringing entire immigration system to halt. Such collection of data will BE used against some undesirable groups in future and this is something people should fight against.
Not at all. It was a prevalent defense there, and their view of those crimes was the the Superior Orders defense was a mitigating factor, but that the crimes were too severe to allow them to escape all culpability like that.

It was used prior, and has been used since, with outcomes ranging from being ignored to being absolved of all responsibility.

It comes down to the scope of the crime. If you helped murder 6 million people (apologies if that's not the correct number), "I was told to" is not an appropriate defense. If it's Karen's birthday and she's lactose intolerant, but your boss says to get an ice cream cake anyways, "I was told to" is a perfectly valid excuse.

Slowing down ads falls somewhere in between, but far closer to pissing off Karen's lactose intolerance than attempting genocide.
And immediately anyone mentions restricting traffic, they're all about the disabled, older people, ambulances and essential deliveries, when really all they seem to want is to drive their cars as often and far as they like, without restrictions. It really is infuriating.
feedback loop is longer, if my workflow is:

make change -> compile -> build image -> deploy to k8s

then running docker/k8s remotely would be great but i need great upload bandwidth to be pushing fresh images everytime I make a change. In theory docker layers/caching should fix this but the reality is that you don't add individual files to an image, you had the compiled artifact/bundle/whatevs and if any file changes its going to upload it again, made worse by a change that effects many components/images/k8s pods. If you can solve the upload bandwidth problem (local servers? giant pipe?) then becomes more possible.
> I studied computer science, and in 30 years, I've hardly used any of it.

Here's one way to look at it: I wear my seatbelt every time I ride in a car, but I haven't been in a serious accident in over twenty years. Does that mean I shouldn't have bothered?

Knowing things allows you to take an opportunity when it presents itself. It's really hard to know what opportunities are going to show up or which doors will be the doors that you want to walk through. But having more of those doors open is generally a good thing.

Of course, there is an opportunity cost to the time spent learning CS versus other stuff you could be learning. But, personally, I've found the CS stuff I've learned to be both personally rewarding and often helpful to my career in unexpected ways.

Does every article of interest have to be some grand revelation? Science is all about incremental gains, with very rare leaps.

Part of the why was very interesting here imo:

> But genetics may also make them particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic coronavirus. They have three copies of a gene on chromosome 21, TMPRSS2, which codes for an enzyme that the virus hijacks to help it enter human cells. The TMPRSS2 enzyme cleaves the spike protein that studs the virus’ surface, launching a series of steps that allows the virus to invade the host cell.

> Cells from people with DS typically express 1.6 times more TMPRSS2 than those from people without the condition

This highlights why those with down syndrome are even more susceptible than those vulnerable groups you mentioned.
Apple’s profit is increasingly derived from non-hardware sales. That profit is dependent on them having sold hardware. If they sell no hardware they will generate no services revenue or profit.

Scroll way back to the root of this conversation. Someone said that $20B is not nothing but is a small fraction of their revenue. I think this is a poor characterization because you need to consider the source of both gross and net revenue.

Yes, services revenue is dependent on hardware sales. And yes the margin on services is significantly higher than the margin on hardware. Apple has been working very very very hard to increase services revenue because it is so profitable. Yes that profit is dependent on their ability to continue to sell hardware. Apple’s ability to grow their annual profit is highly dependent on their ability to both maintain hardware sales and increase services revenue. There is a LOT of room to grow services revenue. There is much less room to grow hardware revenue.

I look forward to seeing where the goal post gets moved next.

I started on gentoo, went to arch, then to ubuntu LTS.

Both switches were for the same basic reason: packages broke just often enough that it wasn't worth the benefits of having a simple/clean system or bleeding edge libraries.

My switch to ubuntu was maybe 7-8 years ago, though, so I can't speak to whether this has changed. I just know that I used to need to spend 1-5 hours fixing an esoteric X.org problem (or similar) every few months on arch and that I don't need to do this on ubuntu.

I stay on ubuntu because of its critical mass of users. If there's a prebuilt package for something, it's probably a .deb that's compatible with ubuntu and debian. And PPAs are nice. I don't like where they're going with snap at all (I disabled snap and added flatpak support instead) and would probably switch if I thought another distro offered the same benefits.
> a) My bike on a trainer is really loud.

Not that it's going to make (b) any better, but do you have purpose-made tyres on it? I've never tried with my road one, I heard it was loud and wore down extremely fast if you did so, so I just bought a smooth (and I think harder?) one designed for use on a trainer off the bat.

Could just be marketing and I fell for it, but seemed reasonable.

Re (b), and especially if you changed tyre, I suppose if you wanted to do that regularly you'd soon get a second quick-release rear wheel, so you didn't have to faff about switching skewers (and tyres!) - or better a 'direct drive' trainer (instead of running the bicycle wheel against another wheel, it comes off and you put the chain directly around a sprocket attached to the trainer).
Courts have generally interpreted the customer-welfare aspects of the Sherman Antitrust Act as meaning “customer, as opposed to business”, rather than “customer, as in the one making the purchase”. Courts have generally not been bothered when one corporation screws over other corporations if there’s no demonstrated harm to non-corporate entities in the marketplace. The Sherman Antitrust Act wasn’t intended to protect corporations from being out competed, and no corporation has a right to their business model being viable. Corporations screwing each other over so that they can provide the best possible experience for non-corporate members of the market is exactly the “competition” that the act was devised to encourage.

Yes, it is rather specific to COVID-19. From the article:

Maybe it is just me but I can achieve perfectly satisfactory immersion with a good book.
> My advice to beginners is to not stick with one opening, but to play them all. Include wild openings like the Kings Gambit and Danish Gambit, as well as strategic openings like the Queen's Gambit. You will be out of 'the book' very quickly, and that's actually good. You'll be learning to play, rather than recall.

This is opposite of general advice. Beginners should play only one white opening and 2 black openings (d4/e4 response) mainly so that they can focus on middlegame and endgame instead.

I also don't have a CS degree and am self-taught. And I very much agree with you that many CS concepts have quite a practical impact. Some of them more on the side of approach and selecting the right tech/solution, but some have a more hands-on practical use.

- State machines: completely agree. I use them especially in the context of user facing stuff, like GUIs, animations and so on. In fact I would even argue that they are _inherent_: Even if you don't recognize and specifically structure your code around them, they are still _there_ just smeared all over your logic.

- A&D I find ubiquitous are: sets, graphs, trees. Sets especially are underused and graphs are the most expressive data structures if you need them and can help you model complex, long lasting models.

- Relational algebra is likely one of the most important concepts. It is fundamental to the Swiss army knife of databases: SQL.

- Algorithmic complexity: I rarely use this formally, but it really helps to get a decent intuition for performance.

I think checklists are probably just fine, but I think they are overhyped despite a lack of scientific comparison to other interventions (I would much rather have sharpie on my legs and barcodes on the surgical sponges, given the choice) - and in particular, checklists are not directly relevant to the content of this article.
It's unfair you've been down voted. Given that people with DS have weaker immune systems and the vaccine relies on prompting the immune system, my non-immunologist brain assumes there is a reasonable concern here...
Currently writing software for electrical engineers. One example that comes to mind is graph theory. I use it frequently to answer questions about the data I'm looking at.

Imagine an electrical distribution network where there are 3 phases (A/B/C) and an overhead line can contain any combination of those phases. These networks can be modeled as a graph with nodes connected by links. The links do not have a direction, but they do have a phase. If you want to know what the phasing is at any point in the network, the way to figure that out is to use graph algorithms.

I recently read a story about two people on their death beds, both had worked hard and achieved success in their fields. One was happily reflective and talked about what a journey life had been, the other was upset and remorseful, talking about how much time he had wasted.

I wonder if the contents of your life are secondary to your semi-hardwired emotional state. I am naturally somewhat anxious and hate wasting a day; conversely, I have friends who seem totally content after 9 months of unemployment and video games. Maybe it does not matter what you achieve, boxes you check, friends or relationships you make along the way. At the end if you are an unhappy person it will not be enough, and if you are
naturally content it will all seem ok.

you could make two different keys and have a shell script to ssh-add them to the ssh agent to be used.

#! /usr/bin/env sh

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_github

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_github2

or something like that and then just name it sshadd on the path

or create an alias in your login script

alias sshadd="ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_github && ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_github2"
I am not disagreeing with you, but I wanted to point out also that if there is collusion between Google and Facebook for pricing advertising, then, doesn’t the consumer end up paying more for purchases because advertising costs are factored into product pricing?
Now that is definitely interesting. And you have some notion of "differentiability" for all of your various sources, sinks, and transforms?

That said, Tensorflow and Pytorch are both very much general purpose numerical computing libraries. You don't have to use them for neural networks.

I used to get massive nausea after playing fps games on my 10' projector screen - solved it by using a pair of acupressure wrist bands. Not sure if that would work for VR but probably worth a try. Plenty of studies behind it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7575310/
Not a surprise at all.

When you start adding all sorts of "cost of compliance" stuff to having kids the people who can usually afford to comply (upper middle class, so most people here) start taking that into account.

Meanwhile the rich and the poor just keep doing what they've been doing.

>Since corporal punishment is not allowed, parents tend to discipline their kids by attacking their self worth.

There's no doubt we're in this awkward generation where our parents were probably treated with corporal punishment, but still want to inflict onto their kids this which they were exposed to as a kid despite this no longer looking good/being legal. Even the anti-child-abuse book "For Your Own Good" by Alice Miller wrote "The former practice of physically maiming, exploiting, and abusing children seems to have been gradually replaced in modern times by a form of mental cruelty that is masked by the honorific term child-rearing". Of course the book pretty clearly covers the dangers of corporal punishment or any kind of attack on a child's self-worth. The point is to push through this awkward abusive phase and bring our species out the other side more self-aware by not continuing the cycle of abuse/neglect.
I hate the name.
It certainly sounds like you're saying that cryptography needs to be brittle to be modern, which of course will find a lot of valid disagreement.

There's no way that any non-flexible cryptography can ever stay modern if it doesn't accommodate for various key sizes and algorithms. If for no other reason, because we continue to see more and more compute power that makes brute forcing smaller or weaker keys more feasible.

Perhaps you can elaborate a bit more.
It's more about movement across space.

VR tries a few tricks for this, teleportation, tunnel vision, etc. but ultimately if you're doing movement like you would in a normal FPS/RPG style game where your character is walking and you are not it's unpleasant.

You can get used to it, but I still prefer just sitting and playing on a couch with a TV. The VR controls are still a little clunky though and better haptics would definitely help, but that's not most of the issue.

My wife and I don't have kids (yet) but absolutely love our Pacifica minivan. It fits 4x8 sheets of plywood in the back perfectly (it was designed this way), all of the seats fold down into the floor, which is awesome, and it can tow a trailer.

We actually got it because it meant we could more easily pack more things to burning man every year. Since then we've done tons of road trips all over the country, and build the back of the van into a bed.

Love that car. Hoping to upgrade to a hybrid with the comma.ai autopilot eventually.

I got tired of the performance and inconsistency of my 'high end' residential setup and recently bought/installed a DreamMachine. Already had a Unifi nanoHD AP, and added one more to the opposite side of the house. This setup has been running for a couple months, but so far has been the most consistent and reliable setup we've had. Good management and security tools, decent UI/UX for the controller. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and wish I went with this (or similar) setup a long time ago. It costs more than what a residential setup costs, but not more than the 3 or 4 setups I've tried over the last 4 years. If you can swing the higher entry price, I feel that it's worth it. It's simply a superior experience in every way for us (meaning: there is no experience for the household - things work and I don't have to fuss with it unless I want to).
I am seriously suggesting that if states want to pay people to stay home they should find the money by cutting other spending, selling assets, raising taxes on the wealthy (households with an income over about $200K who didn't receive a stimulus payment in the first place), and issuing general obligation bonds. Some states have legal restrictions on those things but those are entirely self imposed and can be removed without any federal intervention. It's time to make tough decisions and decide what to prioritize rather than pretending we can have it all and letting future generations deal with the consequences.
On the iPad, I use goodnotes for that. You can import PDFs and then mark them up.

the vaccine is administered in a setting where intervention and physician oversight is available, the current observation span post innoculum is 30 minutes, preexisting alleries are contraindicative, and known history of anaphalaxis is disqualifying.
