I risk being shadowbanned again but this is my theory based on experience with CIA scientists.

These types of exotic technologies and new physics aren’t possible due to hard physical laws in our reality. The only way to achieve such transformative technology is in reality where the nature of particle physics changed.

According to Lawrence Krauss, there is nothing stopping the Higgs field from falling into a lower energy state. This would obviously change the mass of all particles and theoretically create a new cosmic electron. A 4th generation bosonic electron capable of occupying the same quantum wave function.

Imagine if actual infinite reality was a 7th realm, and the higher world was a 6-cube with a 4th dimension to spatial reality. If you downprojected this into a 5-cube, you would lose one spatial reality and distort time from one infinite day into 365-days, inverting the arrow of time and inverting our consciousness.

The affect of this would be the source of mystery, coincidence, romance but also self-destruction behaviors. All of this is predicated on human awareness and the ability to control emotions and separate yourself from the external world where deception and ignorance are forces of natures.

The purpose is this is to provoke conscious thought to remind us that we are downprojected from a 6-cube where actual reality exists. The goal is to write the past in the future, then have the past create the future.

This is a function of a cosmic simulation and a natural process for us to change our perception and thus transform the nature of particle physics. We build up the world through knowledge then switch it with understanding (secret of Chabad).

It’s very much like the movie Tenet. My original account was notthegov but it is shadowbanned. I explained some of this on ChabadforHackers.com in an effort to get Presidential clemency for Ross Ulbricht and Drew Jones. I’m still working on freeing them via the ODNI and President Biden this year.
How Lebanese Cedar APT group has attacked Oracle and Atlassian servers for years [pdf]
Android does a thing where it has its own display stack and very strict sandboxing so X11 isn't really a thing :)

And for the sandboxing it uses SELinux which is available on desktop as well. It's just a royal PITA to configure. This is why many people don't bother with it. But in a highly restricted environment like a smartphone it's a lot easier.

I wouldn't call that a 'hacky' thing, it's just using it in a very different environment.
Indeed, that is why I figured (on a trip to the country a few years ago) why self-service supermarkets checkouts haven't been rolled out in South Africa. That is a country of very high unemployment, so perhaps one could expect violence if overt technology to save labour costs were introduced.
But if we put a good air purifier on each table at a bar/restaurant would that reduce spread enough that people can go out to eat? It doesn't have to be perfect, just statistically enough better that we don't have to lock down quite as hard.

Nobody has done an analysis of this that I can tell even though it is obvious. It seems like a HEPA air filter next to the salt shaker (in the middle of the table so you are generally breathing in its direction) could get a useful fraction of the virus. Then some larger room filters, maybe an upper room UV-C light....

If restaurants are told close or install the above system they will install that system. I know restaurants near me installed tents in the summer which may not have worked much better than the above.

More like testing for an infinite number of resolutions is expensive so developers only test on the main ones and the ones used by hackers on Pop_OS Linux that rotate their screen 90 degrees are out of luck and default to one of the tested resolutions :)
Mobile browsers usually have a "request desktop version" checkbox. How does that work then?
It’s not at all obvious and you are simply wrong on this point.
Oh there are games where input latency does not matter. You can usually run them on toaster too.

You can make amazing AI that beats humans 100% of time pretty easily, the hard part is making it challenging enough for people to have chance to beat it... It also just needs game state, without all the cruft of stadia(visual side, sounds, graphics, inputs etc).

Also did google partner with any of developers of such games?

Did they develop their own? or even formed any form of partnership for them?

No. They went for action titles, or titles with great graphics.

It was disaster from business perspective no matter how you look at it. Do not expect game developers to just bend over for google just because they release a new platform(and where are doubts about sustainability and quality of that platform from the beginning).
Synchronising the game state in games now is exceptionally hard even with 64 players for any sort of latency dependent game. It's a constant grievance in most gaming communities today. If you just have to point a gpu view into the world, then it just depends on how many gpu's you can attach to the server.
I feel the same. Xorg just works. My dev machine has intel onboard gfx with two screens attached and an old gefore 8 (I think) to drive a third screen, using nouveau. Zero config required, X just combines them as if it were one card with three outputs. Wayland? No chance. Screen sharing in Jitsi in Firefox? X doing just fine, Wayland not a chance (using Sway). So X just works fine out of the box no matter what, while Wayland is a broken mess that reminds you of X 15 years ago. Oh but Wayland solves screen tearing, which I guess would boost my productivity while coding by 500% so maybe it's worth the hassle.

I'm old (on paper). My age group is the last range in most online forms.

I've been in IT for about 45 years, and 30 of those in Dev. I also program for fun, not profit, off-site, and the stuff I write and run keeps me alert. My role is 95% maintenance now, with the other 5% "dev" being the shit that no-one else wants to/can't handle (or it would take 3 or 4 associates rather than cheap ol' me). In my particular situation, I see a huge gap between my employer adopting the latest, maintainable software, and actually getting the job done. It won't be my problem soon, but I wouldn't want it to come crashing down...
LinkedIn is an interesting marketing channel I have always thought about, but never used. Thanks for sharing this!
Possibly. But I would assume that paper was somewhat expensive in the 1400's and so it's unlikely to be a notepad of doodles.

Portrait viewing for screens bigger than tablets are edge cases of edge cases.

I feel like this is a more complex problem to solve than it seems at face value or the author implies, especially considering tablets of varying dpi.

CSS dpi media queries are unsupported in Safari mobile and desktop, so that increases the complexity significantly.

Beyond that, the fact is most web layout is still done in px or other non-fraction-of-the-width units, so it’s often a matter of the wider layout simply being broken at smaller widths, rather than just refusing the display.
> Can Wayland handle this?

Yes.
Do you hang out with people who just talk all day without a prompt? How do you listen if you don't first ask?
Exactly. CSS does not check that your screen is taller than it is wide. What it sees is a narrow viewport.
Secfi | FinTech Product Manager + Software Engineers | Amsterdam | 60-100k + equity

Secfi is a VC-backed fintech start-up that helps start-ups and employees better manage equity compensation. We do this by providing shareholders of private companies with liquidity so that they can exercise their options or access capital for personal use. We build technology products that help private company employees make the most of their equity and make more informed decisions. By simplifying their equity compensation, employees can spend more time on things they love doing most. We have offices in Amsterdam and San Francisco.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options. The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/products/exercise-tax-calculator

An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal. Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam product and engineering team. We have a variety of engineering vacancies including DevOps Engineer, frontend and backend Python:

It's an exponential effect though.
I'll concede that people are mentioned in it, my original comment wasn't completely correct.

"In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth, or of a State or other part of the Commonwealth, aboriginal natives shall not be counted."

Not really a statement of rights so much as a statement that the native people of Australia are not people.

>The author assumes that "the media" are some homogenous lump that all thinks the same and pumps out the same content.

Well in the eyes of the "advertiser" - the money - they are indeed a homogeneous lump that sell their advertising inventory to some DSP... while Facebook/Google have extremely valuable inventory due to the data granularity.

And you might say, "oh this has nothing to do with advertising!". Let me tell you that I've witnessed the inner workings of large old media protecting some advertisers, as well as pilling up to attack tech giants.

Media and Silicon Valley are at war since the share of media budgets accelerated towards tech giants, departing from "old" media. The media started to feel the urge to compete with user generated content when faced with this reality that reflected as lower CPMs for their inventory, and started to pump content (news/opinions/etc) - the "truth" became irrelevant as long as they are the first, or have the snappier header to grab clicks.

The media is as much to blame for the status quo as any other player.
This might be just a honeypot. The US Navy makes some noise about some stuff that has a slight chance of being possible, the adversary must react, and the reaction is potentially along the lines "how do we infiltrate that part of the organization, what assets do we have that can initiate contact", etc. If the end result is that the US Navy identifies some spies, the cost of half a million is absolutely nothing.
Maybe because some kinds of news tend not to be considered newsworthy if it doesn't come from "interesting" countries. Or tend to not to even gather local interest, fizzling out before being picked up elsewhere. E.g. in South America there are (a few?) very active ufologists, purported UFO sightings, people claiming abductions, communications or contacts with aliens. Sometimes they even manage to capture some lights in the sky. But they are (or were as of a decade ago) not taken particularly seriously by local press, so I'd expect the vast majority of these claims, specially those with a strong local flavor, not to bubble up to international news.

Does your impression come from general news or reading UFO sites? I'd expect a lot more (badly) reported incidents from other countries in specialized media.
Do You Remember SACD?
its amazing anything works in linux given this attitude towards stable code
Sometimes I miss it.
Yes, I am opposed to fully static linking. What's the point of static linking? Windows has no static linking (all system calls go through ntdll) and it has a compatibility story better than any Unix. Static linking to libc is unnecessary for long term ABI support.

Dynamically link against libc and statically link the rest for all I care, but there's no reason not to talk to libc.

Also: the vDSO is also a form of dynamic linking. Are you opposed to the vDSO?
Notice that you can use hidpi screens with Xorg and it works perfectly. The only problem occurs when you mix screens with very different pixel sizes on the same display and you want to move windows between these screens.
As much as I appreciate these in-depth reviews of the AirPods Max, they always feel like reviews of, say, a Burberry coat.

Although this is pure unproven (and maybe unprovable) speculation, I think that people buying such products have already decided to do so at some deep emotional level, and any half-decent review just provides the necessary rationalization for an otherwise excessive purchase.
What covid measures are down side free then? Should just nothing be done and we ramp up deaths for a slight inconvenience?

2 to 5 dollar masks that are proven to significantly reduce spread and a single employee standing outside with a hundred dollar thermometer to make sure no one with obvious symptoms comes in (they're also checking for people coughing as well) seems about as tiny an inconvenience as possible.

It's not 100 percent but we know how it spreads, people that actually need to go out have the ability to get the most effective PPE, and at this point we should be directing our efforts to vaccine distribution instead of improving covid protocols (or worse loosening them prematurely as we vaccinate) for the people bored at home.
Can you elaborate?

I'm interested in what you're saying, but after some quick Googling I still don't understand the significance of "Londonderry".

https://github.com/sgrodriguez/ddt a decision tree lib in golang for building custom rules decision tree. It allows adding a pre-processing stage to the input before comparing it with the following possible branches of the tree. One of the default preprocessing stages in ddt is calling a method of a struct (CallStructMethod) and getting the attribute of a struct (GetStructAttribute) using reflection, so you can have a struct user with some methods and attributes and build a tree asking question about the user.
Create the tree programmatically or by json.

Newspapers and TV showed that message before. That did seem to go well. And shutting down parler and gab also seemed to work. Perhaps connectivity is not for the best in all cases.

I don't think internet has solved that many problems that were almost unsolvable before 2000.

> Tech have some problems but still, it's amazing.

The atomic bomb is also amazing, but it's a menace anyway. Tech needs control. A lot of it.
Seems like those goalposts have been moved then…

If your argument is that some partially effective measures might have a paradoxically negative effect by encouraging unsafe behaviour, then that seems like a reasonable possibility to explore - and would require some data.

I personally struggle to think of any ways in which my behaviour would become less safe as a result of having my temperature taken when entering a store, but YMMV.
The mobile browser uses different viewport information (and likely sends a desktop UA string).
why not use the user-agent?
Yes, great point. If you're not a Christian, then you're one more data point in my collection that shows that unbelievers understand Christianity better than most people who call themselves a Christian. Biblical Christianity looks very little like the modern religion we know by the same name today.
It feels like the risks of sanitizing everything outweigh the perceived benefits.

Also, mixed-DPI works pretty well here on X. I just scale my low DPI displays at 50% with XRandR. It looks just as good as on Mac.
In my experience, they change the detected width of the viewport. Some also change the User Agent header.

As far as I remember, in the early days it was assumed that most spread was via visible droplets and surface because all well-studied viruses that spread by aerosol would spread much faster in a zero-immunity population than observed with SARS-COV2. But those are all viruses that have many generations of adopting to humans under their belt. Compared to them the new one seems to be barely able to make landfall in humans at all. Now we know full well that the virus is aerosol-capable and the implied "surprisingly bad compatibility with humans" is consistent with the number of observed mutations that spread faster, probably quite a few evolutionary low hanging fruits to increase hit rate while spreading.

Back to topic, I think that in early days the surface focus wasn't a bad guess, it just happened to be wrong.
Yeah, I was trying to find a way to create a toolbar with buttons and make sure the buttons are not too small or not too big. DPI info is not present and different tricks to work around this will fail on different phone models.

I wish I could ask the browser "what are the dimensions you the browser use for your buttons" so I can use same dimensions too and the user could configure this in his browsers and everything would follow it.
what I came here to say
Mobile has some unique characteristics that don't fully allow agnostic design, namely:

- viewport changes size due to soft keyboard
- address bar hides/unhides during scroll down/up

For certain types of apps, like games, it's important to know whether a device is actually "mobile" regardless of size/resolution. Sniffing user-agents might have to come back into vogue. Who knows where "mobile browsers" will end up - maybe some giant 60" kiosk app, or other places.

Barring that though the article brings up good points and searching the web for how to detect mobile usually brings up the error-prone portrait/landscape resolution detection that the article discusses.

The full solution requires the knowing the resolution and the dpi to get an estimate size of screen in inches. At least with that we can be safe until next article "Just because I'm a 100" kiosk app, doesn't mean I'm on a phone".

Is there a good npm lib that does the above?
In this case, "portable, touch enabled device" wouldn't match what we're talking about. Someone with a large tablet should receive the version optimized for larger screens.

The website is saying "if your screen is at least this big, I'm going to show you the version for big screens". The OP has an unusual setup where their big screen is reporting as a smaller screen.
These programs get approved because the approves are not scientists.

There is no conclusive evidence that the death is correlated with temperature check/ mask.

Maybe the n95 mask can reduce spread but the clothes mask that most people use doesn't do much.

I know it spread and it spread easily but fortunately for vast majority of case they will be asymptomatic or only have symptoms.
If being an atheist required 100% certainty, then only the omniscient could be atheist(and presumably only a deity can be omniscient, making atheism a paradox). In practice, most of us draw the line somewhere around "highly unlikely".
