Economists as a whole don't have a great track record of predictions here, either. You know the saying, right? Economists have successfully predicted 9 of the last 6 recessions.
Did you really get the flu twice a year like clockwork? That must put you in like the top 0.01% of flu-getters; you have my sympathy.
Oh Alpine sounds cool - I’ll have to look into that. I’ve always just kludged raspibian into running read-only, but it’s fiddly. Your solution sounds much nicer.
I was more thinking of data collection by cellphone companies, but what you've described can conceivably be done if you had cooperation from os vendors (apple/google).
The difference is somewhat meaningless. It will be gone very soon regardless of what fedora does. Cutting it off early means they can time it with a release so people get the release notes rather than it just stopping working without having updated.
All metadata being collected for the lifetime of all our phone numbers also includes all relationships, with varying degrees of separation.
This is already being talked about in Europe. It'll probably end in some sort of bonus for the employee as they use their own computer powered by their home power supply and in most cases they have to buy extra stuff.
Your assumption is correct, io_uring is too new, it isn't available in most LTS kernels. Give it a few years.

Also, if you already have a competent io_submit/O_DIRECT implementation then there are few material performance benefits to io_uring for databases. It mostly just cleans up the API. This has value from a code design/maintenance standpoint, particularly since io_submit is lacking in the documentation department, but the lack of kernel support in most environments makes it a poor tradeoff at this time.
I suppose the perfectionist in me just doesn't like having N different combinations of exercises saved. I do currently follow a similar model to what you describe when recording complexes in Strong, using the name to hold the rep data, it just feels like "Clean + Clean and Jerk" for "2+1" is nicer than "Clean + Clean + Clean and Jerk" or "Clean double + Clean and Jerk" etc.

It feels like using supersets for these would make tracking data over time difficult. eg given your clean clean jerk example, if one wants to track volume of a particular exercise it's not clear what the volume for each of those should be applied to, and it could get rather messy (is it 2x cleans + a jerk, or 1x clean + a clean and jerk?). Everyone probably has different preferences there, but my point is that native support for complexes would probably make stuff like this easier by providing a way to properly define/separate each component of the performance at data entry time.

I don't mean to only talk about things it doesn't support, though. I honestly think this looks great even without support for complexes (it's just long been the top of my wishlist for exercise tracking tools!) and am going to try it out next week!
In my pockets my phone, keys, mini Toothpick knife(folder), spray soap (covid-19 aware), nasal inhaler.
On my belt -a second one- a multitool, a individual mini screwdrive and a flashlight.
I am a sysadmin and use regularly all of them.
Super impressed that this bug was even found, it seems to be one of the worse types where you get rare, spurious failures and the compiler has silently emitted subtly incorrect code…
I don't know how common/feasible it is for aircraft, but most new GPS receivers are capable of receiving two or three of the systems (usually GPS & Galileo or Glonass)
Firefox Sync encrypts all data client-side; Mozilla has no way to read it. Chrome also supports client-side encryption as an optional feature using an additional passphrase.
Is that first "triangulation" supposed to be "trilateration"?
It's interesting to me, because I use a custom format that I created for simplicity. I'll just share a snippet for comparison:

# skip travel
2020/07/15 push 14,18,14,14,30 # hpu w3c3d1
2020/07/14 pull 5,5,5,5
2020/07/13 push 22,30,20,20,30 # hpu w3c3d3, succeeded
2020/07/12 pull 5,5,5,5
2020/07/11 push 20,25,15,15,40 # hpu w3c3d2, rests were 30sec too short

I like having a single data file (or maybe one per year), with each session on a single line. I only use it for pretty simple bodyweight exercises.
Yeah, especially when a very common scenario is fund manager predicts the same thing every day for twenty years, is right once per market cycle, attracts attention and profits when his broken clock is correct, and is largely ignored the rest of the time.
> If covid is dangerous enough to lock down society yet is only x5 as deadly as bad flu seasons open offices are literal murder.

Flu is only deadly for a very small segment of society, though.
Fascinating! So basically the only reason Java is a thing today is because some manager was moved to pity by the lack of job prospects of a bunch of soon-to-be-redundant engineers (because they had unwisely spent their last few years on this dead end project without anything tangible to show for it). So they allowed a release before putting them out to pasture, only to find the dead end project suddenly had become an overnight hit?
Yeah this has to be long-term catastrophic for commercial real estate, which was already on the rocks. My previous company commissioned/leased and furnished an entire 12 story building in 2019, and now it's practically abandoned. Who is going lease such a thing afterwards? Seems grim to me.
Anyone evaluated this for io (disk) performance? Any different from kvm?
That assumes that goods and services are getting cheaper, which isn't the case for several key necessities. In particular, housing, education, and medical care have risen far faster than inflation for the past 40+ years.
Well, if you agree with that advice then you shouldn't say anything in public either, e.g. here on HN, since that too can be used against you.
but make certain choices easier, much easier. just use chrome, it's just less of a hassle.

I dubbed this "convenience herding". nobody is forcing you to do anything; they are just making some things very very inconvenient relative to how easy it's to just put it all in their servers or use their software (the cloud is an euphemism for not your computer)
Isn't part of the point of owning cryptocurrency that you want less government involvement - including government-funded protection from crime - than you would with government-run currencies?

Like, it's always pitched as a positive that a transaction is irrevocable. If I put some money in a smart contract, it behaves exactly as specified in the smart contract. If I decide to invest in some overly complicated ICO (for which I can fully read the programmatic contract before I invest), and I lose money, and then I say "I am a poor unsophisticated investor who was taken advantage of, I want my money back," doesn't that fundamentally imperil the value proposition of having a smart, programmatic contract? Now only most of the contract is on the blockchain and there's also some hidden caselaw - and "mostly deterministic" means nondeterministic.

That is - shouldn't people who believe in cryptocurrency be saying this is fine and good and working as intended, and not a problem to "fix"?
Has work output decreased? Have you properly communicated expected response times and set an interval for requiring updates? If not, that seems like a mistake in management.
Especially given that Chromium distributors had previously been given explicit permission to use the sync APIs.
Frankly, I have yet to find a site/person that writes positive about any cryptocurrency and not have some stake in it.

To me, it feels like a multi level marketing scheme, where all these sites and sources and people just try to drive up the price.
Millennials Embrace Prenups–But Through a Different Lens Than in the Past
Crypto was founded by a Swede and moved to Switzerland because of taxes. Hardly the Swiss would think of it as a Swiss company. It‘s quite easy to set up a company in Switzerland. Few questions are asked. Swiss intelligence knew from 1993 that it is owned by the CIA and BND and did not rely on their machine. It was suspected for a long time that they are not safe. In addition, there are indications that the Military knew already in the 70‘s it is owned by the CIA through employees working there. The policy seemed to be observing, rather than investigating, so they wouldn‘t have to stop it.
But true, the Swiss should have blocked the whole operation.
The GP writes:

I think that's rather objective and affects teamwork/project cohesion.
I'd probably want to take more time to come up with a full answer to this question, which is "big". Also: I'm cautiously optimistic about Pritzker's administration, at least in terms of actually getting things done in the state.

But examples of bad governance in Illinois would include:

* Scandalous public pension liabilities

* Patronage jobs at Metra run through speaker Madigan's office

* ComEd being fined $200MM for a bribery scandal with Madigan's office

* The financial debacle of the privatization of Chicago parking revenue

Illinois is one of just 8 states with a flat state income tax, which is something that needs to change so we can get our financial house in order, but won't, because literally nobody trusts our state government. It's hard to lay the blame for that on anything other than the state Democratic party.
Its chrome without the closed source bits. The syncing part was open source I guess but required an API key. I wonder if they could in theory just grab the key from chrome.
Most employers aren't actually operating with efficiency as the main goal.

Look at it this way:

worker A makes 10 widgets an hour. In 8 hours, he makes 80 widets.

worker B makes 20 widgets an hour. In 4 hours, he makes 80 widgets.

Why should the employer care about which one works more hours?
It is what I mean, but I am fascinated that I find that ballpoint works better for me for those purposes. To be fair the ballpoint I use took me a while to find - Parker Jotter case with refills they now call "QuinkFlow." They write smoothly without requiring much pressure, with quite a thin line. The only pen I found that can produce a thinner line is a Pentel Needle Tip with a 0.3mm ball.

The thing I love about any ballpoints though is that they are pressure-sensitive - they produce a lighter line with less pressure, which is great for sketches and shading. I find that rollers are either on or off.

I never experienced the ballpoint ink not drying, in fact the opposite - ballpoint is usually dry instantly, while with rollers I have to be mindful and wait a few seconds or more with pooled ink.

The only issue I found ballpoint has that roller doesn't is the "ink turds" you mention. These happen especially when I try to draw long straight lines (maybe even with a ruler). At the end of the line if I'm not careful I can end up with a giant drop of ink that can turn into an unsightly smudge. But, I found a way around it - I need to keep rotating the pen so that different sides of the ball enclosure collect the ink, letting the collected ink get pulled into the paper.
Do any of those operating systems have particularly good support for messing around with the GPIO ports?
We'd love to hear about these zero days over at security@pidgin.im so we can fix them or you can just keep spouting about stuff that afaict doesn't actual exist.
Well, pick a big city? While it will definitely happen, it's unhealthy to befriend only coworkers. Learn how to make friends outside of your office life. That way your employer can't use your social life against you leaving.

Trust me, after the pandemic, when the daily grind kicks in and your office life and daily commute drains every ounce of energy, you'll be happy to WFH.
IBM Smalltalk was perfectly usable for multiple developers. Didn't VA Java just use the ENVY version control from the underlying Smalltalk system? I'm sure they could have.
I have Android on my phone and sending a page to it isn't as seamless as I'd expect, like it sometimes either takes a while or I have to go in my Firefox Sync settings and force a refresh to get the page.
Stardew isn't shit in any area. Quite a lot of games (even high budget titles) are really shit in some area. No matter how great bread you use a shit sandwich still tastes worse than an average ham sandwich.
> While most probably aren’t going to awol for a day at a time I know a LOT of people that now spend working hours doing leisure things

Oh, the horror!

> people are shifting work hours to ones more of convenience (again anecdotal)

They have no shame!

> But even some of my direct reports will slack significantly more if they think I’m not online. Responses that are normally in minutes take hours etc.I have to now probe for updates etc.

This all sounds very familiar. Let me give you another perspective on this.

It’s very stressful and disruptive to be pinged 20+ times a day. While some of those are people asking for my help, which I gladly do, a good chunk are managers and seniors asking for “updates” or checking in just to see “how it’s going”. Like we didn’t have a standup 4 hours ago. Sometimes it’s colleagues asked by the manager to check on others, so that it doesn’t look like they’re too annoying. I know because it’s obvious and I got asked to do the same many times.

The answer is that it’s going great, thank you very much. At least it was until you interrupted me for the nth time today and now I will have to waste time trying to remember what the hell I was doing in that debugging session. Actually no, a timer expired, so now I will have to restart the whole thing from scratch.

So yes, I sometimes stop answering the chat, or close it altogether. Because I want us to hit the deadline and ship on time, since I care about the team’s results instead of seeing how busy my subordinates are and feeling important for nagging people all day long.

A micromanager hurts the company by reducing productivity and team morale. Your subordinates are not “doing leisurely things” during working hours. They are probably brushing up their CV and doing leetcode to find another job.
Totally possible. It's also very easy to jam any or all of them with a $50 box.
Not at all. A blockchain requires a shared model. Everybody has to agree on what's stored. But the way it normally works is that each entity gets to do its own thing. E.g., if company A sends a package received by company B via shipper C, each one is going to keep their own records of what's going on. They don't have to agree at all on what gets kept when. There are specific, limited points of interaction. It's only if some problem occurs that everybody compares their individual records and reconciles them.

That looks like waste to the "blockchain [jazz hands]" crowd. But it prevents other wastes. Like trying to get a whole industry to come to consensus on ontology and process. Or trying to comply with systems build around that fantasy process when local needs differ from the standards.
Not who you asked, but there is something amusing about fiddling with a physical system, plus you can keep it on regardless of your main computer, and doesn't take up a window/tty/otherwise clutter the host.
If my employer tries to remain 100% remote I will leave and go somewhere with an office. I find working from home too lonely, and I detest spending hours of every day on video calls. Of course, I'm just a single data point, and perhaps not representative, but I'm also generally less social than other people, so I find it hard to believe there won't be a lot of people feeling the same.

I'm sure that there will be a much greater prevalence and acceptable of working from home after the pandemic, but I'm equally sure that there will be a gradual but significant shift back to large numbers of people working in offices. The only way this won't happen is if there genuinely is a major uplift in productivity from remote work, and I'm incredibly sceptical about that. Self-reported improvements in productivity are worthless, IMO.
A major reason why I don't trust electronic voting. The user visible part is incredibly simple, the security is not. Terribly easy to select your vendor based on price or political connections, rather than making sure that they have the time and competence to get it right.
>>Very few companies have on-site gyms, snacks and child care.

I'm not seeing your point here? it IS still a sellers market, and companies do pay for those things. So its still a savings for them. As for a 'drop in the bucket', I've seen companies try to save money by buying cheaper pens. So I'm sure cheaper rents, utilities, perks, etc. will be considered...

edit: grammar
I always find it funny how many people seem to think that vehicle maintenance is free. Especially large military vehicles. Even if the vehicle is free, you’re not going to take that to the jiffy lube every 3,000 miles.

And as far as the LAPD budget goes, I have two words in response: overtime fraud. Saying that you spend 90+% of your budget on salary is not equivalent to saying that it’s well spent, especially since how cops manage to game the overtime rules is a well studied subject.
If you are from EU take it easy at 27:25, I’m sure there’s no data about what he’s talking about.

If someone loans you money to start a business and you blow it gambling, you're going to have a hard time getting them to give you another loan.

The government can say it's taking on debt responsibly, but if there are no subsequent economic improvements eventually their credit rating will fall.
>A huge chunk of my time (40% approx) is consumed by pointless cargo cult corporate activities which have no direct correlation on revenue, reputation or longevity but merely serve to sustain positions or activities in the company which someone felt needed to exist otherwise it wouldn’t be a real company. This is a universal truth for all companies with more than about 50 employees I’ve worked for.

I've found it isn't so much the cargo cult stuff that causes inefficiency as it is administrative hiring and artificially increased complexity.
Why not? Is there something that makes the US immune?

Also, people fixate on the "hyper" part and assume the US is going to go full Zimbabwe/Venezuela where an egg costs a trillion dollars, but even sustained non-hyper inflation of 10% or 20%/year would wreak havoc on most people's retirement funds or mortgages.
All the major Chrome-like competitors like Brave and Edge already uses their own sync engine, so the only users they're punishing are the users of Chromium.
patches welcome ;)
That niche is basically “education and hobby”.
Watch this 2 times.
I think that cities with a high net flow of migration tend to be easier. Of course this means high cost of living because of housing competition, but it’s easier to make new friends when you’re surrounded by other people who are also looking for the same. I lived in Berlin for a few years and made a lot of close friends but almost none of them were originally from the city. It’s tough to break into pre-existing social networks.

I would say that it also helps a lot if you know at least 1-2 people who moved to that city just before you. You can plug into their social network and work together to expand it.

The other advice I have is find people who share your interests through sites like meetup.com. Lots of people who show up to those events will also have space on their dance cards. Get comfortable going out to shows, art exhibits, or whatever you’re into by yourself, and then if you hit it off with someone at a meetup event you’ll have something to talk about and something to invite a new freind to join you at.
Damn, now that you say that I never thought of business PCs to be easy to fix like that, but it makes complete sense!

I'm preaching to the choir how being able to repair your own stuff is a great thing. I wonder if there are lists of consumer purchasable hardware that follow this same philosophy to a degree. Would make future tech purchases much better for me personally.
Nice. Although I wish the documentation was less sparse.
Doesn't explain how energy will be generated out of hydrogen from its statement of energy restoration

The requests themselves were probably illegal, sidestepping standard procedure as they were. I don't think one could be charged with perjury for refusing unlawful requests. IANAL!
What's even worse for things like cryptocurrency trading is existing securities laws are basically a list of market manipulation techniques that also work for cryptocurrencies.
Based fellow Eagle Scout spotted. Nice project. I planted shrubs and trees to prevent kids from chasing their escaping soccer balls into a busy street. At that park the previous year a 7 yo got creamed chasing his ball when it rolled away :(.
> but their rational is secret so we won't know until it is... litigated.

Presumably, this statement means that litigation will necessarily reveal the rational by presenting it.
So I was hoping to see some actual repairs, but author is just going to be bending pins and re-soldering connectors? I'd like to see a repair of traces or even a chip replacement.
You immediately assume people don't work which is not what I am seeing. Sure, some absolutely do, but you are making it look like everyone is more lazy in WFH conditions.
This isn't "Silicon Valley News". Lots of us don't live in the US.
Thanks. I remember mrkurt say fly.io evaluated gVisor but settled on Firecracker eventually, though, I must ask: can gVisor on its own achieve same level of protection as micro-VMs? Even if not, can the protection offered by application kernels like gVisor and Kata be considered enough for multi-tenant workloads (like the one fly.io runs) inside the same guest (VM)?

Also, if I may, in what cases would one prefer to use Firecracker managed micro-VM running gVisor sandboxed containers? I'd imagine gVisor slows things down, so it might not be for everyone, but I'm curious as to what value-add might make gVisor worth that.
They can get it working but they choose not to because they want to be the source for all software. On fedora I can see chrome in the gnome software app and it says the source is googles own servers.
You can't just ignore all the people who aren't working though? One of Japan's specific problems (which will also hit much of the West in a decade or two) is that society is aging fast and the ratio of retirees to working people is increasingly unsustainable.
Did you consider having first-class support for rest between sets? It's certainly possible to model it with metadata, but I imagine it's a very common thing to want to include.
It has been like that in (my) Linux for a long time? This isn't new by any means.

Lemme check.

Current version:
Version 88.0.4324.50 (Developer Build) Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit)

It looks like I installed this OS in July of this year, which means Chromium would have been installed in July of this year - the 5th to be exact.

When started, it gives a warning about not having certain APIs and lacking functionality because of this.

It has done that since at least July of this year. I'm sure it did so before that, but I can only show that I've had this installed since July of this year.

This isn't even remotely new. Whatever version it was that I installed back in July did the same thing, or should I say didn't do the same thing? It hasn't had sync enabled since day one.

I currently have Lubuntu 18.04 and Chromium is installed by way of .deb channels - not a snap.
