Most situations aren’t black and white. Crypto (in particular Bitcoin) is an investment asset. Every asset comes with risks. The way to adjust for the risk is to have the right proportion of your investment into the asset. It’s the same for gold, equity or any other investment instrument.
Agreed. I will never understand how a group looked at overly-complex Makefiles, determined it was hard to write complex build scripts, and concluded: "I should write a Makefile meta-language that can generate these." That would be like looking at a complex Java codebase and concluding that the best solution to simplify it would be to write a Java meta-language for generating your classes...
A malicious pilot could injure/incapacitate anybody who wasn't strapped into a seat with aggressive maneuvering. I expect it takes a lot of training for a 'vomit comet' pilot to not toss everybody around like ragdolls, but a suicidal pilot trying to kill everybody wouldn't be gentle about it..
It’s a handy assumption when you want to use straw-man arguments.

What you describe you did with your blog is, in some sense, resume-driven development: you probably learned stuff in the process, which might be useful in a future job situation.

The difference is that nobody paid you for doing all that unnecessary stuff. Doing unnecessary things for learning is good, but not what a company is paying you for, usually.

The boost.interprocess library presents the capability to keep data structures (std::list, std::vector, ...) in shared memory (i.e. a memory-mapped file)- "offset pointers" are key to that. I can think of no other programming language that can pull this off, with such grace.

Two very half baked projects:

1) https://github.com/ayourtch/tbpatch

read the unified diff and apply to files that may have whitespace changes compared to original. The aim is to experiment with structured source control. The first immediate use is to be able to more easily cherry-pick code changes between branches in a big project.

2) https://github.com/ayourtch/flex-sftp-server

an experiment in making an SFTP server that is not tied to openssh, to implement more flexibility like more granular access control, different storage backend etc.

6th street in Austin is completely gone. People who live in major metros may not understand this, but rural America is laughing at them. These cities are national embarrassments.

But that's not the point. The point is the sheer arrogance required to believe that they're qualified to control what people are allowed to read.

These same people can't even keep their cities from being burned down, 50+% increases in murder rates, fecal matter on the streets, people leaving in droves... I'm supposed to listen to them? Really?
Lorem ipsum is words/phrases copied from one of Cicero's writings, "De finibus bonorum et malorum". It's not a straight copy, kind of like if you copied every other word in places, but it's definitely Latin.

It does likely have relatively similar usage patterns to English in terms of letter distribution, if only because they're both indo-european languages and English has deep vocabulary ties to Latin through Norman influences.

> You keep introducing more variables and more arbitrary numbers

These variables are the ones that are relevant to deaths and have been talked about since the beginning of the pandemic: hospital overwhelm, total percent of populace infected, etc

To refuse to deal with the complexities of the situation doesn’t make them go away. I didn’t introduce any factors apart from the common ones.

> It's well known that harmless viruses exist, they infect a lot of people and kill nobody (or almost nobody).

We’re not talking about those viruses though. Most viruses that we don’t have a vaccine for are either orders of magnitude less lethal or substantially less contagious.

> Claiming that more infectious = generally more lethal is just not based on facts.

I didn’t say that. I said that at the level of lethality coronavirus is at, an increase in contagiousness is worse than an increase in lethality. Very different claim.

> If Covid-19 mutates into a mostly harmless variant, we will easily treat the few more severe infections and nobody will die.

This would be true if it mutated into something maybe 100x less contagious. An entirely theoretical possibility. That’s how much more lethal covid is compared to stuff like the cold.
Of all the pictures and videos from inside the Capitol, has anyone seen any trespassers/protestors/rioters/insurrectionists carrying weapons? I caught some of it live and have been looking since and haven't seen any.

Pictures or video would be appreciated.

I use it a bit. The transactional aspect of it requires a bit consideration but generally the performance is good. I'd originally used libJudy in a bunch of places for fast lookups but the init time for programs was being slowed by having to preload everything. Using an mmap/LMDB is a decent middle ground.
What's frozen shoulder?

Have you tried stretching (gently) the levator scapula stretch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSoXPJRnR6E)? I've recently started doing this 1-2 a day. I hold my elbow more to the sky and out than she is doing (sometimes using a doorway to help keep my elbow up), and I hold it for 1m on each side.

The levator scapula attaches to the cervical spine at one end, and the top of the scapula on the other. Shoulder and neck problems can occur in a chain and in a sort of domino effect.
No it’s not. Mueller stated “if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so”.

Mueller felt as if his hands were tied in his ability to present evidence to prosecute a sitting President.

And the final Senate report details even more communication than previously believed. But since it came out in August, it really got less media attention than it deserved.

Monoculture is a high risk strategy for every facet of life - farms, investments, gene pools, markets etc. I feel you - I wish we talked about implications and made an explicit risk/reward trade off for any such decision.
One thing I've noticed in my career is that those who possess a certain kind of 'wow' factor are the ones who are categorised as the 'stars' and thus progress quickly through the technical ranks.

I've tended to find that these people don't write particularly good code (not usually bad, just mediocre) and tend to lack ability in software engineering - writing deeply unrobust code that falls far short of their perceived 'rockstar' qualities.

I can't tell you the number of conversations I've had with managers or even colleagues where their untouchable genius is extolled to the heavens.

Combine this with the fact that those who raise issues and foresee problems are often viewed poorly (possibly even MORE so if those problems actually end up happening).

Ultimately you end up with a situation where those who advocate for solid engineering are, while respected, never really raised above the low levels of the career ladder and those who embrace woo rise up.
> Come on, Twitter has been banning plenty of users for posting blatantly anti-Semitic dog-whistles like "the Zionist regime". It's quite clear that Khamenei is getting preferential treatment.

Twitter overtly adopted rules granting high government officials this preferential treatment to justify not acting on the many complaints of Trump's flagrant violation of what were previously nominally universally applicable rules on the platform at the outset of his term.

So, yes, Khamenei gets preferential treatment compared to the average user (as did Trump); that's the overt policy.
I love the idea of this, how you write to volume files of a fixed configurable size, that become immutable once it's moved onto the next one, so you can pick up those prior volumes and move them to offline storage whenever you want. That just seems really nice and easy to understand.

The tech community has already been hitting the drum beat for stripping our liberties and massively expanding the surveillance programs under the guise of "stopping terrorism".

Why do you think Biden was quick to identify the protest as terrorism? It will set the tone for the rest of his administration. Civil liberties will be stripped in the name of security/stopping terrorism.
Still not going to happen because they cause at least about one trillion dollars in demand for global dollars, annually.

We just need leaders in place who understand these systems, the economics, and trust that once investing resources into their own people and nations who are aligned with the same/similar values - with freedom of speech at their core - that they will work hard and generate an ROI for their work; understanding the human heart, mind, will, and exponentials are the key to having this faith - faith perhaps deriving from seeing the good and potential in every being.

You're correct that more than sanctions are necessary, you need to also invest in the infrastructure and production of goods that your society primarily relies on. There's tons of space for innovation and improving efficiencies in this space via automation, vertical and horizontal integration, reducing planned obsolescence, etc. There's an incredible amount of waste in our societies, along with other types of pollution we must address. All this requires is work, which means jobs, and adequate organization and appropriate directing of resources.
One side is insisting on so-called transparency and accountability measures which make fraud much easier. Hmmm...

In the meantime it’s not the vote counting system that is the problem so much as the single candidate seats, winner takes all style representation along with the electoral college.

The people who actually are underrepresented would be far better off with multiple electorates being merged and represented by multiple representatives, and switching to something like Hare-Clarke voting (single transferable vote).

Twitter Verified Accounts Hacked to Promote Scam

This has been going on too long, since 2018, tons of $ stolen. You would think given the major hack in 2020 that twitter would have systems in place to prevent this from happening so often.

They are also able to hack hundreds of accounts for fake likes:

This suggest weak password hashing or insufficient rate limiting on the part of twitter to be able to steal so many accounts over and over

I don’t think even those politicians and officers wanted the Capitol breached; what happened was they didn’t think there people would do it. It’s a huge bias. If the same was discussed by anyone outside that category of people it would have been met with the appropriate preparation and mitigation measures.
One thing that helped was a standing desk with monitor arms. When my neck hurts I change the height of my monitors so the angle of my neck changes. It's not a cure, but it helps.

Also, shrugging my shoulders up to my ears periodically helps. PT docs tell me it's the wrong thing to do. I think they figure I'm strengthening my traps, but really I think the movement just helps reset something in my neck. YMMV.

If you're twenty something and don't have physical issues from sitting in front of a computer all day, just wait, you will.

The majority of viruses do not mutate rapidly enough to evade immunity. The exceptions are virus with chronic infections because they can mutate much more easily, and some viruses like Influenza that can use antigenic shifts.

It's really not typical. Even in all of the human cold coronaviruses, only one seems to be evolving its spike protein, and it does so quite slowly.

If it was typical, we wouldn't see the amazing efficacy of vaccines against endemic diseases.
Reminds me of the reluctance in 2008 of the healthier banks to accept capital injections they didn't need to serve as cover for the banks that did, sort of. On top of concern for appearances of not needing it, one reason that may have been argued was that they would presumably be pressured by the feds along populist lines, like bonuses. Not the best comparison.

> Since the 90s the alarm has been sounded about the infiltration of police forces across the country by white nationalists and neonazis.

IIRC, there have been big scandals about that in Germany recently. The neonazis have been infiltrating the military there, too, to the point where they had to disband an entire special forces unit, because it was too far gone to be cleaned up.

Honestly, the liberal fixation on gun control seems a really short sighted to me, given that kind of infiltration and the general right-leaning nature of law enforcement and the military [1]. It seems far more likely to me that liberals (and minorities) would someday need to rise up against an oppressive government than conservatives would be, even though conservatives like to fantasize about that kind of thing more.

[1] Proven very clearly by the events in Kenosha: police shot an unarmed black man in the back, but didn't even stop an armed white kid who just shot three people.

(There's video evidence of the crowd yelling "Hang Mike Pence", incidentally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW718KRYDtU)

Yeah, it looks like somebody at Roku didn't think this through to me, too. Don't they have enough better-quality content that they don't particularly need Quibi's library? If Quibi themselves couldn't profit from these 10-minute episodes after spending $2 billion to make them, why do the people at Roku think they'll recoup their $100 million? Is there a tax angle we're not seeing?

This is what our current spacecraft radiators manage. You also have to take into account that radiators also interact with the sun and with the rest of the spacecraft.

Of course, you could have a heat pump pushing heat to a higher temperature surface, some current radiators do that, but it has its limitations requires more energy for the pump the higher temperature difference you want to sustain.
The thing is, these protests didn't expect the police to fight or arrest them. They did all this stuff in public under their real names. Someone wore their work ID lanyard to storm the Capitol.

It's not risky to promote violence in public forums in the US provided you're not specific about it. Heck, the ringleader was the president; it's not like we need him to submit ID to get his Twitter back.
I think this might be ruled out- Indonesian news sources have cited sounds of explosions as well as an eyewitness account of the plane exploding in midair. If it's pilot suicide, it's certainly unconventional.

I wanted to learn React Native and decided to build something simple and whimsical that I could see myself using.

It's still missing push notifications and some other key features, but I've gotten the basic functionality of adding friends and seeing and setting statuses up and running.
This is also the case for cops shooting unarmed people.

I do agree with you, but I also think an appropriate measure of skepticism should be applied to all "emergencies" as well. People do all sorts of stupid counter-productive things when they're all freaked-out and not thinking straight because of an "emergency." And people in a position to create or exaggerate emergencies will do so cynically in order to manipulate an otherwise non-compliant public into accepting all sorts of stuff that's against their interests.
