yes it has.
Doubt they care about that, it's just a sideeffect of redesigning for the sake of redesigning. You see this everywhere, not just youtube.
Though we do not generate the entire server code, we do follow a spec first design paradigm for APIs as well as DB. We have adopted hexagonal architecture for our web framework and therefore, code generation is limited to fit in it. We use Starlette and SQLAlchemy.

> how does anyone who greenlit this on any level still have a job?

Have you ever worked for a tech company?
They don't just fire PMs/leads because their project failed. We are all human, we all make mistakes, in fact I bet 90% of the projects Google works on fail (public and private). It's the 10% that succeed that the company is going after (but you don't know that until after the fact of course). The PMs that drove this will simply move on to the next project and keep trying until they get a hit.
Can someone help me understand why I was down voted. Is there anything wrong about thinking of the impact of something like this becoming a commonplace luxury.
Solution to my social media hell
I use Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and have different crowds in my social circle for each. I use Facebook to connect with my school friends, family, etc. and Twitter to follow news, opinion leaders, etc. BUT... I found it increasingly difficult to go through my social feeds as there are thousands of posts that I scan and I typically miss the ones I care about the most. For instance, a tweet from my best friend or spouse should stand out. I gotta like those :) Anyways, I thought I will cure my own social media hell so I developed a Chrome Extension. It is free and no ad, etc.

If you find it useful but need additional features, please let me know and I will add them for you. I am bored these days and missed the GME wind :) happy to keep coding if you need something...

Part of what makes it so difficult to diagnose adult ADHD is that most adults come up with a range of adaptive behaviours to try and mitigate the effects of the disorder. So just because you don't look like you have stereotypical ADHD doesn't mean you're not compensating for them - have a think about your various coping mechanisms and whether they're covering for some of those symptoms.
This is something people just don't appreciate at all. ADHD is shortens life expectancy by 12 years on average. I imagine it runs the gamut from addiction problems, accidents, suicide, obesity, ignoring health problems until they snowball etc.

I'm certainly guilty of that last one. Since getting diagnosed I've been making a point to never leave a health problem ignored. Sure, it might take 6 months to a year for me to eventually book the appointment, but I'm getting them under control at my own pace.
Paraphrasing only works when it captures the essence of what is being said.
No, it wasn't, so you could make a backup drive and boot from it directly by just copying the contents in Finder. But never in OS X. Which is why GP confused me...
The only peoples left after the full collapse of technological society will not be those living in concrete and steel towers in the megacities of the west or east. It will be those that are living in the Serengeti, or those in south India, who have lived the way they have lived for thousands of years, whilst those in the megacities strived for decades to 'save' from their 'backward and primitive ways'.

The Brazil Variant Is Exposing the World’s Vulnerability
True, but they would need a much lesser number of licenses compared to the number of users since they only need to make sure they have enough instances for concurrent usage.
There is NO reason? Not even that is where the FastAPI is hosted and is the developer’s website? You can’t think of any other examples of something linking to the product homepage?
> Towards the end it had a lot of advantages like one login account but still true pseudonymity wrt to other users

They required real names at first (slavishly copying FB in that regard), and then later as they were obviously failing they tried offering the option to use a pseudonym. I tried it, and they rejected my handle for no reason given. This was the day I started to really have deep-rooted negative feelings for Google, it was just insulting to have my time wasted by an also-ran social network.

That was the last straw for me and I burned my G+ account to the ground.

I think Google suffers from something akin to the oil curse. They're throwing out dilettante efforts to diversify but never accomplishing anything noteworthy outside their core business. In that regard they're making the world worse, because they're soaking up top-tier talent and then producing garbage with it.
Is there a source you can point to, or is it hearsay?
I have a similar setup but use these cheap fog makers to atomize the water that I push around with a fan.

It's cheap, and very effective even for a larger space. I also have the humidifier the article mentions, and found it to be useless for a large area.

Thanks for that one. DDG didn't show it and I don't remember finding it when I've searched with Google.
But as far as I understand it, the actual transfer of the underlying shares does not happen in a fraction of a second. The only thing that happens in a fraction of a second is an agreement between two parties to settle some shares in the near future.

Executing a trade is not the same thing as the underlying instrument changing hands, which is still slow.
What Compilers Can and Cannot Do
When I first heard of Google developing Stadia I thought it's for targeting Asia where mobile gaming is huge and since for majority of users from there smartphones are their first computer; Any 'AAA' game on mobile would be a new experience; But my assumption was proven wrong after seeing Stadia getting released only in North America & Europe where gamers are particular about their games.

Because it's probably a whole lot less work to add this new deployment mechanism than to completely change languages. Even for new projects there are tons of other things to factor in when picking a language; a crutch in one area can sometimes be the right call.
Hi again. Just wanted to add that I found the feature but it is definitely bad. I'll move the improvement proposal to the dedicated places though.
> Take regular breaks from the medication

As others have said, this is definitely something you must discuss with your personal brain care specialist first.

What others have not suggested, and again this is something I have been able to arrange in conjunction with my shrink, is medication switching. Since each has slightly different benefits, I use a different medication on a workday than at the weekend or holiday/social time.

In this regard I've been fortunate to have access to a healthcare system, and specialists, that respect the individual and aren't reflexively invoking a) cookie-cutter solutions, or b) contrived histrionics about substances with abuse potential. The only raised eyebrow came from my pharmacist: "You're on both of these?" "Yes, but on different days, not together." "No worries".

NB: I'm hesitant to specify which medications, because individual responses vary dramatically, and advice gleaned from one person's experience may be exactly wrong for another.
You must be quite young. 2020 is a minor blip on the huge ups and downs over the past 2 centuries.

The only way I could fathom "society collapsing" is if I felt the interactions you see on the internet were an accurate reflection of society at large. It's not - not even close.
While violence is not always a tool, it is an evolutionary strategy. Before the advent of the state, it was already a tool, or could be at least. It, and other adaptive behaviors still hold some sway on us, and our societies are still shaped by them. We've become more complex, and cultural evolution influences as well, but you cannot cross this a defunct relic of our history.

I agree with your second point though.

>father to Ada Lovelace the first programmer

Babbage was the first programmer seeing as he invented the first computer.

Lovelace is a perfect mirror for our society: a vapid socialite with shallow understanding of the problems and a willingness to make grandiose claims without the ability to back them up. That she is a woman just makes it even more blatant that we care nothing for ability as long as it makes for a good story.

In short: if you are the type of person to think she had anything important to add to computer science you are the type of person to think Steve Jobs was anything but a snake oil salesman with a decent understanding of typography.
E.g. say you want to take over 50h worth of time from somewhere else into a new `.klg` file, then you would be able to note that down under a single record.

My thought was that there are more reasons to allow things like >24h or <0h than to reject them, but maybe it’s too much flexibility for no good reason? In any event it might be worth considering to emit a warning though, in order to prevent mistakes from happening by accident.
glibc is Linux only.
Yes, much of the demuxing and decoding relies on libav, but there are other demuxers and decoders in VLC as well. The library for handling DVD/BD playback is also distinct.

Managing playback (flow, state, buffering..etc) itself is not a facility of libav so that is managed by the app.

An Introvert Engineer’s View of 2020 – An Year of Personal Projects
Five questions about Covid-19 vaccine trials in teens, answered
Hello! A question: I assume a college student should apply to the SDE1 listing, but is it a full-time or intern position?
I know you’re looking for an easy answer, but there isn’t one. It took me roughly a year to get over my burnout.

A lot of things in your post resonate with me including feelings of guilt and hopelessness. I was questioning my job for 2 years before I found enough motivation to quit. If you’re continuously mulling the same question over and over you know what the answer is. You don’t have to slam the door on your way out, you can slowly reduce your responsibilities. Your lack of motivation could be because of your burnout. See what else is out there. It’s not worth it.
The article seems somewhat absent of information, They list telegram as one of these location tracker apps. I use telegram and it has some features like sending your location to a friend but I'm not aware of it ever just grabbing your location without requesting it. I'm also not sure that ios allows grabbing the location without the app being in use either.
Honestly some straps inside the already pressurized capsule + some CO2 filtering and Crew Dragon 1 is probably much less risky than most of the early human space flights.
We forget how many astronauts and cosmonauts died in the early days (especially if you include pilots of high altitude test flights which tested many concepts later used in the space programs).
There were many additional close calls on either side, averted only by skilled test pilots, ground controllers, and luck.

Cargo Dragon 1 didn't have a Launch Escape System but was otherwise pretty safe.
CRS-7 is an exception, and even then if the flight software had been written to deploy parachutes, probably survivable.
CRS-2 had issues with thrusters but not life-threatening ones.
Gemini and the Shuttle programs also didn't have LES - Gemini had simple ejector seats and the Shuttle had...nothing after the first test missions removed the ejector seats.

I'd argue Crew Dragon was safer than the first few Shuttle launches as well - the first flights had a 1 in 9 chance of failure. Landing the Shuttle wasn't difficult but had to be successful - other options were trying to ditch in the ocean or using ejection seats on the earliest flights. Some abort options were almost certainly hopeless. STS-1 had massive issues which could have lead to a safety problem. Losing only 2 flights in the STS program is somewhat of a miracle. Falcon 9 now has a higher reliability estimate than STS - 0.99 vs. 0.97 [0]
Earlier on in the Falcon 9 program the point estimate was lower - but so too would have been STS's, especially right after Challenger.

There really wasn't much nuance to either side of the bet. Compare "they wouldn’t be just off the grid; there would be no grid" to "technology as an enriching force." I guess it makes for a fun bet, but the messy and complicated outcome ended up being the most interesting part.
This is where the burger analogy breaks down in my opinion because it's a lot harder to deliver a fraudulent burger than a digital signature.

What can happen in real life is Person A and Person C are given a digital receipt confirming delivery of the burgers they were owed and that is the end of the transaction. To shield themselves from revealing potential fraud, the brokerage will charge a $500 fee if either of them ask for proof of their burger.

Now, while there may only be one burger in existence, it appears as though there are two, keeping demand artificially flat.
At least one of the apps listed (Telegram) uses location when you choose to like sharing your location with people and I have never seen it request location otherwise. Puts the rest of the data in to question for me.
Help me out with your superior Googling skills then please, as I've also tried to find evidence that for non-ADHD adults, taking ADHD medication in doses that it would have been prescribed, does something significantly different than it does to adults with ADHD. Happy to be shown I'm wrong, but my Googling skills had me coming up hands empty here.
When I was in the military we would use the term "no move before xx:xx", to make it clear how much time people had for preparing kit, cooking up, down time, etc.
There's so much FUD in this article I don't know where to start.

> For getting Destiny ready google had to deploy 2 of their engineers in Bungie's offices for 6 months to make sure that the game could release on time.

There's no mention of a possible delay in the article. I sounds like the Google engineers were there so they could optimize their own stack.

> And even after doing that, the game still runs at 1080p and is upscaled to 4k.

Stadia uses custom Vega 56 GPUs. It's not exactly known to run games at 4K. Sounds like a hardware limitation more than anything.

> Recently there have been reports of Game developers running into problems with the Linux scheduler and with Linux Torvalds proclaiming that the scheduler isn't the issue, these issues won't be going away soon.

Yes, as Torvalds explained, this spinlock "issue" was totally overblown.

> [With Windows, ] game developers wouldn't have to make any efforts to port a game to a completely new platform.

That's not true, there still would be some porting effort required, and all the QA that goes with it.

> Had stadia used Windows, they would have been able to tap into the already existing [multiplayer] player base.

There's nothing technically stopping Linux users from playing online with Windows users.

> Had stadia used windows, people would have been able to easily download their purchased games in the event of Stadia shutting down.

Yeah, I don't think so.

> Now all of these [network-optimizing] aspects are custom built and don't have anything to do with the operating system and hence would have been applicable even if google launched on Windows.

Really? Using Linux gives them a lot more freedom of movement because they can customize the network stack for their own requirements. That would be much harder to do on Windows.

> To summarize, Google Stadia would have been a much better service had they used Windows.

No. It's mostly an issue of lack of focus and wrong pricing model, where you pay a subscription and still have to pay full price for games you don't really own. Not to mention the unbearable lag if your connection isn't stable.

My feeling is not that we are moving towards a complete collapse of civilisation, but instead move closer and closer to the distopian world of of Gibson and cyberpunk.

W. Gibson, N. Stephenson or David Brin (his earth is a highly recommended read) are certainly people I would never bet against in a long bet. The predictive power of some science fiction is fascinating. I always wondered if it is the books that predict the future or if they are the shaping it, by becoming part of culture.
Right, STEM-types tend to lampoon religion due to being based on "mere faith" rather than "hard evidence."

But anything that is not directly experienced by oneself requires some substantial faith; one cannot possibly redo all science experiments oneself and personally collect evidence.

Therefore one must have faith that the aggregate scientists had no motivation to skew or misrepresent evidence.

As a scientist, I know how reasonable doubting this to be.
And not forcing studios to rewrite their games from scratch to a snowflake platform.
While I agree with the sentiment of meeting the developers where they are, I'm pretty sure the upfront licensing costs of Windows would have made Stadia a non-starter. I also doubt Google could have gotten a decent bulk licensing deal for this use-case given Microsoft demonstrating interest in cloud gaming with the XBox Game Pass streaming features.

We also have to remember that even if the underlying tech was Windows, PC games implementing multiplayer can be locked to a single environment like Steam, Epic, GoG Galaxy, Windows Store and not offer cross-play amongst them.
