Thank you so much for making this...it is just what I was looking for with the exception of self-hosting or having you host for me. Can I ask a small question re: the AWS deployment script? Can that be configured-meaning if I paid someone-so that it is a one-click AWS Lightsail instance? I am so non-techie it hurts, but I cannot be on the public web. I'm starting a media biz soon...and I would be under troll warning from day one, so this almost 99% solves my problem. It keeps me from having to distribute posts etc through FB, TWTR etc and since I HATE WordPress....this is perfect.

You can accomplish the same with a mailing list. Users don't even need to create an account; they just click the "mailto:" link at the bottom of your article and type their comment in their preferred client. They can browse the archives for a threaded discussion.

That being said, the best comment platform for a blog is, imo, someone else's blog. If you want to leave a comment, write your own (micro)blog post and send a Webmention.

I, for one, wish we could go back to using years for major version numbers. And as a stretch goal, trying to align release schedules with calendar years more closely. For example, long-term support versions could be even years. That gives the immediate benefit of knowing how old/how well-supported a given system is just from the year. I can't tell how many projects I've seen fall off and then look back...hey, the last version was from 2007. (not that being from 2007 is bad, it is just an indication that it's no longer being actively maintained and might be bitrotted).

When I worked on V8 our strategy was just to mirror Chromium's release cadence: every six weeks, the tip-of-tree became a dev branch, dev became beta, beta became stable, and stable became no longer supported. We did backmerge important bugfixes to beta and stable, but otherwise forgot about it. We never committed to long-term support of any version. That's not great for really important things like a kernel, IMHO.

There is no reason to expect a challenge trial would slow down the standard branch of the trial. If it gave an earlier result, the differences would be good ones! The production would have worked through initial scaling and a bunch of people would be vaccinated.

Do you think the vaccines being distributed right now were manufactured more than a few weeks ago or something?
I have a 4770k and because of the shortage rock a 3060ti I just got out of sheer luck. My friend might have snagged a 5950x but until it ships he’s not taking any chances ordering other parts. He’s been trying to get one since launch.
Jenner was living in the 1700s and was doing the best he could with the tools of the time. Still, his report included 20+ people, included challenge results in which subjects were exposed to smallpox to verify their immunity. If the role models for this exercise are all from the 18th century, that should ring some alarm bells.
I don’t think this is the full explanation (or even the biggest factor). I have lived in foreign cities with FAR more income inequality than sf, and I never saw the blatant crime I see in sf. It’s to the point where seeing live shoplifting or robbery isn’t even a surprising or notable occurrence for most people. There is simply no will to enforce the law.
One problem with this is that most cases don't go to trial and miscarriages of justice are a regular occurrence.

Many cases 90+% ([0], [1]) are plea-bargained out, e.g. the accused couldn't afford representation, the public defender takes the offer, etc.

Some of these people were innocent but serving a year in prison will make it hard for them to rebuild their lives.

I actually talked to him once, his strategy isnt to approach kkk members to convince them to leave, but to let members who are questioning approach him.

> IANAL but this seems like a dumb suicide pact.

IANAL either, but those sound like punitive damages, which are unenforceable. The court could accept the assessment in the contract, but if it's blatantly unreasonable, they are supposed to pick a value that more accurately matches the damage incurred due to the breach.

Not that I would want to be in a situation where you have to depend on that...
Why do you need more performance from a CLI test tool? I'm honestly curious.

It's basically curl (fast) plus simpler and easier interface and pretty printers. For performance in shell scripts you can use curl, and for troubleshooting the IO time dominates anyway.

DISCLAIMER: I've never been a graduate student, so I don't know how it works.

However, the question going through my head as I read this…

why would you leave your fantastic job situation for this? Why not just study the things you're passionate about on your own time AND earn an amazing living?

Keep a blog about what you're learning and write there for impact?

Keep your money instead of spending it on tuition? (if that's a thing in your country, it sure is here!!)

Save yourself the trouble of a potentially bad relationship with a supervisor, and communicate with other experts in that field of study?

Student debt SUCKS. I'm still paying for college tuition more than 10 years after my tuition payments started. My major (business management) was absolutely NOT worth the amount of tuition I'm saddled with paying for it.

You have fantastic earning power. Keep it. Life isn't ALL about money, but you can save yourself a lot of hassle (and potentially, money!) skipping the PhD track.

ADDED: I make a good living now by having studied things that were not part of a degree track, and just doing it on my own.
Is this possible without having a PhD? Most positions I've seen seem to have this as a pre-requisite

Fortunately my RSI is starting to get better. Therapeutic massage and shoulder rehab exercises have made a big difference (I had a bike accident a few years back, and my shoulders were in pretty bad shape).

I stopped typing on my 2018 MacBook Pro's keyboard (which I think contributed to my problems), and exclusively use an ErgoDox. I've also been taking Magnesium as well as NSAIDs to reduce inflammation. Still a daily struggle, but I can type posts like this one without too much pain.
It seems a bit unfair to expect an app to work without being able to read the language. Was the translation bad or are you just saying that the buttons weren't obvious without a description you could read?
> (But, yes, I think that writing hypotheses with 100% falsifiability, before challenging them practically, is quite a good definition of science)

It seems like you're still not making the necessary distinction between whether it is possible for an experiment's outcome to falsify the hypothesis, vs whether it is guaranteed that the experiment will falsify the hypothesis if it is in fact wrong. The latter is an unreasonable requirement to make part of your definition of science.
So rational arguments have to be based on the foundation that either or both of the opposite sides can and should change thoughts based on the information exchanged during the conversation.

Assertive non technical argument usually is based certain belief(s), which are often obviously wrong outside it's narrow scope.

But these arguments are held by people actually believe in them with a conviction that is clearly based on emotions therefore by definition irrational.

So when someone engaged in such argument and tries to argue otherwise, the discussion has to be like try to mold a steel cylinder with a bear hand. Sure you can wear down a steel cylinder with bear hand, through enough patience and time. But in the span of a discussion, that's impossible.

Thus, the one who stick the steel cylinder first is bound to win, or at least not loose, for example, the counterpart decide to stick their own cylinder and 2 sides appear no longer engage, until the circumstance requires the clash or some random side wire that causes the clash.
Glad to hear you live in a country like that, I wish I could say the same. But these are core difficulties with the United States that aren't going away any time soon.

The nation is very divided and there's no hope of overthrowing first-past-the-post here.

And when the nation doesn't agree on things, allowing the majority to rule can be terrifying.
And this strategy really benefits big institutions like Google, and harms smaller competitors. They are raising the barriers of entry. It is pretty clever.

> What happens if a sub-sequence of peptide matches with one of our own's body proteins and our immune system starts building antibody against it?

The peptide sequences are listed on the whitepaper, so it’s a matter of BLASTing[1] them against the human proteome to check for possible matches. I just did it and there doesn’t seem to be any statistically significant hit.

Metrics as in how easy is it to store and send, how resistant is it to inflation and manipulation.

- Land - Can't send it.

- Gold - Physical so more difficult to store, secure, send, and verify.

- Cash - Easy to manipulate by the government. How many trillions printed for coronavirus? I wouldn't hold too much of it.

- Stocks - Cant send it. More shares can be created by the board of directors.

Crypto is made to do one thing - store value, and do it well.

I had a guess it would be Hayes Valley.

Not because there are few b8ta stores but because there is no way that will continue to be considered a nice neighborhood

For months after the first lockdown, the place practically had a favela setup across $6500/mo rental units until someone tricked business owners in signing a petition to summon the police to come with clubs. The police did come and clear it out.

And the Walgreens being continually emptied out despite not being on the main Market St or other typically decrepit neighborhoods was a sign that people would not ignore the place anymore

Pretty much every currently “nice neighborhood” was super sketch during the time periods of SF that people seem to reminisce about

Makes sense. I have conflicting thoughts on biohacking. One one hand, the people doing it often have little scientific background and have very dodgy testing methods. On the other hand, if people are open to self experimentation, they could accidentally stumble onto something great. Or bad. Or random unintended findings or consequences. I could also see businesses being intimidated by these practices, as these people could render some chemicals obsolete, also by mistake. So many pros and cons.

A quick search showed compromised packages in arch aur repos: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malware-found...

You only change the focal point, but a centralised package manager is good for reasons other than security. Sure, a central tool will keep your whole system updated and improve security overall, but it won't prevent supply-chain attacks from happening.

Reading mailing lists and being careful with what you install will take you a long way in preventing malware.

It's in the news everyday. Huge investment firms diversifying into crypto. So yes, value is being stored. The market cap of cypto has been rising exponentially - exactly because it is a good store of value. Which means easy to store, and highly resistant to manipulation and inflation.

> Why does it have to be a battle? A balanced diet can delicious with little fuss.

Well, I can only conclude either you don't have kids, live in a very different setting, or you're some kind of super parent :-)

The main reasons are (a) the kids are highly attracted to foods that constitute a poor diet and (b) they are constantly exposed to opportunities to consume those foods.

At its peak we were taking them to 2 - 3 birthday parties a weekend at which they were presented with unlimited candy, giant pieces of cake, sugary drinks, and a humungous bag of lollies to take home. Then at school the same children bring sweets to school and hand them out to the whole class, trade things out of their lunch boxes at lunch time, etc etc. Unsurprisingly they routinely come home having eaten only a small portion of the food we gave them and tell us they "weren't very hungry".

One of the interesting revelations as a parent has been how little control you really have over what your children are exposed to and how much is dictated by the society around them.
Maybe they are drug addicts and criminals because they don't want to do hard work for low pay.
They can do any of the following:
- stop branding their morality (especially Apple)
- stop doing business in Pakistan

You go try asking them.

Getting a visa is not that hard. Spain is also really relaxed about immigration.

If you are in the tech industry, many startups and big companies (e.g. Facebook, Google) have offices in Madrid and Barcelona.

If you wanna do remote work, the Canary Islands might be soon offering a special visa and a low tax regime.

You could also try a digital nomad lifestyle. If you return to the US every now and then, it should be fine.

"To be very clear, I am not blaming the people in any way for the situation they are in"

Perhaps you should blame the people, if by the people you mean the Pakistani populace. I say this as a Pakistani. The issue of discrimination towards Ahmedis is something that has widespread support among the populace. From uneducated masses to university professors, poor to rich. Very few people actually oppose the discrimination towards Ahmedis.

And those who speak up to support Ahmedis have to be very careful. The issue with Ahmedis is always pretty closely linked to the issue with blasphemy and of protecting the "Prophet's honor" in Pakistan.

Many people have been killed over the blasphemy issue and even those who would say that blasphemy laws need to be revised were killed.

You can look up the murder of Salman Taseer, the chief minister of Punjab (one of Pakistan's 4 provinces, and the largest province by population). Taseer was killed by his own bodyguard for saying that blasphemy laws should be reviewed.

One of the issues is creative energy. When most of my day is spent working on working for my job, I find it really hard to do research on things I'm interested in.

I'm in a rather demanding team with an on-call rotation, so I'm not finding it possible to invest in actually doing my own things unless I overwork myself.

How did it work out for you?

Something is wrong with that argument. Welfare + Taxation = Basic Income.

Already we have it, by definition - it's an equation.

So some part of your calculation is wrong.

Likely you're over-inflating the amount paid out (it's not going to by 15/hr person) and undercounting payments (maybe disabilty/housing/local programs).

UBI given at equivalent levels to today's welfare would be strictly cheaper because of the reduced adminstration cost.

(this though is different from the question of whether payments should be higher and paid by increased taxation.

And off-topic, but taxation doesn't need to be increased - it can be payed by helicopter money, but actually not cause inflation, because of geographic mobility deflating that aspect of the economy).
There are a couple different ways to implement this type of workflow. You can use tools like VSCode's remote development features, you can use an IDE/editor with built-in rsync/sftp capabilities, you can also use git via a local command line (though that defeats the purpose), or a tool like Mountain Duck if you want to 100% eschew a CLI. Admittedly, for myself, I prefer to simply shell into a remote machine and use vim. But, that's "remote editor; remote runtime".

The remote runtime can be either a local Linux VM or a remote VM. That's kind of the beauty of this approach. You can generate a machine image and have a consistent environment either locally or remote, depending on your current needs. Obviously, when working with a local VM, you can use host mounted directories using one of the various tools for doing so, in a much more efficient manner.

I tend to not run git locally, but prefer to run it on my source on the remote environment. This is mostly because I'm not wanting to use the native Mac OS userland.

I do not run tests locally, that's very much the intention.

I don't have a link to an article handy. You already seem familiar with the VS Code tooling, so it's a good place to start.

I'm not a pedant about this. There are some rough edges, especially in the file sync'ing for the local editor, and integration with IDEs. But you can get most of the way there and be pretty happy.

edit...

When I was working on ChromeOS, the actual workflow was more like "host OS" -> "local VM" -> "remote VM". The Crostini environment itself runs in a local VM and container. So you would essentially be running an editor inside that local VM (I ran VSCode this way for a hot minute), and I was working with an sshfs mounted src directory from a remote VM. This was mostly because I was doing work against a dev environment that relied on a number of hosted services that were only accessible to the remote VM. The hoops we sometimes have to jump through...
