That's true, I have been put off by Facebook more than I should have. Thinking of what I just wrote above, I do realise that things like Yammer do provide a tangible benefit. Those slack groups even more so. In fact the communication with peers in other businesses is highly valuable and the informality (compared to e.g. LinkedIn) really adds to the information flow.

I think for me where facebook went wrong was when they stopped showing a list of posts of my friends (the 'feed' I think they called it), and started with the 'timeline'. Which meant hiding some posts from my friends and adding other stuff their algorithms thought I would be interested in. Unfortunately they were mostly wrong.

I view social media in terms of pearls:crap ratio. If I find something that makes me smile or really enlightens me, it's a pearl. Everything else I just have to drag through is crap.

Twitter for me has always had a really low ratio. The short messages promote hollow nothingness like what you had for dinner and discourage insightful information. Facebook used to be pretty good at this, until the timeline. This dropped the ratio like a brick and made it all a chore. What got me to leave was the Cambridge Analytica stuff but to be honest the real damage was done long before that.

So yes maybe I will give it another shot :) Sorry if I came across as harsh (not about Slyde but social media in general), but you do have a very good point with facebook having soiled the general reputation of social media. Sadly enough this makes it even harder for you!
I've been using a Blackberry Passport since early 2019 - as a replacement for the "dumb" phone I used for many years. I love it! The build quality is fantastic. The keyboard is a beauty to type on. The camera is great quality. In terms of build it's my ideal phone. What I wouldn't give for an up-to-date version of this [edit: at an affordable price]!

Unfortunately the software limitations mean that I'm likely going to need to switch to a "modern" phone soon. Per the article you can't run Android apps beyond Android 4.3 and even those often don't work - means I can't use banking apps, or government apps (eg. Track&Trace or recently the EU Settled Status app), or Spotify, or most chat apps. Many websites don't work on it either.
FastApi is quite awesome. I recently discovered it and covered on my blog for beginners [1]

> This is what you get, for free, on all versions of MacOS, ever.

You're trading one slight discomfort (in your opinion) for a thousand others because the rest of macOS is abysmal. There's hidden, undiscoverable functionality everywhere, the window management is absolutely disgusting, the file management is sorely lacking, the amount of tweaking you have to do to get decent terminal utilities is sickening, the hardware choices are extremely limited and the tyrannical company that builds it works regularly to own you.

No amount of rationalization will convince me that it's a good OS for anything other than building iOS apps.

Thankfully at least I can run a better OS on the hardware once Apple stops supporting it. Unfortunately I still must jump over many Mac hardware obstructions just to get something resembling a normal BIOS so I can even boot something else. It's just disgusting when I have to do it. At least I never gave Apple any money though since I buy it all used.

They are the China of the technology world and I wouldn't be proud to support them at all even if their desktop OS was actually desirable. Still, they own half (or more) of the phones in use in the US so I have no choice but to deal with them.

This is the latest paper on BOOM: http://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~krste/papers/SonicBOOM-CARR...

It has some comparisons so you can judge for yourself. Of course, since this is a project driven by only 2-3 grad students it isn't completely fleshed out. However, you would assume that if the ISA just wasn't suitable for high performance implementations that a project like BOOM would have uncovered that by now.
Right now it looks like POSIX and some good minix equivalents. It's waiting for a Linux to change the game.

As for manufacturing, I think it's harder but not crazy harder. Small batch fabs making small vendors' customized implementations seems reasonable. It's really about reducing requirements for big scale. ISA is one.
As the article mentions, the Macintosh had a similar font years before.

> To determine whether the ADA applies to employment in foreign countries, you must look at both the employee and the employer. The employee must be a U.S. citizen; foreign employees working in foreign countries have no protection under the ADA. In addition, the employer must be a covered entity (at least 15 employees) and must be of American nationality or, if foreign, controlled by an employer of American nationality.
I don't know what else to say to you mate.

Supply < Demand - prices increases.

Supply > Demand - price drops.

There was always sellers in the market, the supply wasn't 0. It doesn't matter who was selling: institutions, hedge funds, or retail.

The point is that demand was larger then supply until restrictions were set.
> I don’t see anything on that list that is a consequence of the license.

That's an interesting point. The GPL does not restrict what software can do. GPL software can potentially do all of these things. Heck, a virus or malware could be GPL licensed, there's nothing stopping that.

The advantage is that under the GPL, they must provide sources which allows the user (who must have software engineering skills) to modify the software to change behavior.

I mostly bought in a couple months back because of this https://media.ycharts.com/charts/b63b65ca1a405cd8f10f8afb1ad... . The two big spikes there are after console releases. I just figured I would be cashing out in April instead of now.

So I wouldn't call this a gamble, I didn't buy for the memes, and neither did wallstreetbets (at first)
Anyone who's curious about this should just go to the the sub reddit and just read 10 posts. Seriously it's not that complicated.

You've got a bunch of gamblers over there who basically treat this as if they're going to a casino. Then someone got a lucky break and everyone there swarmed around it. Some of them got rich taking money from hedge funds.

That's where it got main stream. The main stream media is responsible for the blood in the water feeding frenzy around this. WSB subreddit went up from 2 million to 8 million in like 1 week.

Anyone who's been on the internet knows, as a community gets popular, the quality of that community changes.

Anyone who's paid any attention to the news at all, knows that the quality and depth of reporting by a lot of people is garbage and misleading.

You add that all together and if you want to know anything about this, it's easier to form your own opinion, just go to r/wallstreetbets and see what you think. I personally, don't like it, I'm not a gambler.

I'm also sure I'm wrong on some of my take in here, I'm continuing to learn and read more. For instance I was all upset at RobinHood, but they have a pretty good reason for disallowing buys. Hopefully the core of that reason gets investigated and looked at by someone, but I will state that I think there is no clear outcome I'd expect from that investigation, that's what an investigation is for. You pay someone who you can, hopefully, trust to take the time to investigate because we've also seen that crowdsourced investigation is awful.
As an aside, i hate GPUs on Linux. I'm running Blender and am in the market for a new PC build. The GPU is a huge source of confusion, due to Linux.

I see so many conflicting stories about how well AMD GPUs behave and perform on Linux. Some new, many old. Some even as extreme as "I bought a new AMD GPU and there are no drivers for it yet". Furthermore for Blender specifically AMD seems to get the short stick in performance.

Really leaves me confused as to what to buy. Just venting.

LOL! Can't second this enough!!
Well, in 2020/2021 you start by framing it as "us v. them" where "they" are immoral people having a good, successful, happy life at the expense of you (somehow, details are not important - we live in a post-truth anti-intellectual timeline). Somehow these hedge fund fat cats are rich and I'm poor! Sprinkle in some millennial defeatism ("I'll never be able to afford a house like my boomer parents so why not YOLO my savings?"), add memes, and frame it as some giant way to get back at the 1% without any actual hard work. Then you sit back, watch it unfold, slowly and quietly exit your position as the stock skyrockets, shop for a new yacht.
Tbh I'd recommend trying nix on top of another distro or on top of OSX first.

If you just want the ability to install arbitrary versions of packages along side each other/have painless roll backs/bake config files into your install you can do that there.

Once you get comfy with nix on top of another distro then think about whether you want that approach with the entire stack.
Software architecture is a critical responsibility.

There is more than one way to get that taken care of, and it tends to work better when the people who are responsible still have their hands in the code.

I've seen too many pure architects spout off about how the system works and not notice the meaningful glances among everyone else at the table. That's how you wanted it to work. We couldn't make that work (possibly because Information Theory or physics) so we did something else.

I'm only halfway in the conspiracy of GME moon.

I have seen several articles in the past week outright rejecting the idea that anyone is in on GME for the "cause" of shitting on the funds (even if it turns out ineffective). If I see an article failing to recognize the legitimate populist (and correct) element of the moment, while hand-wringing about the fund managers, my bullshit detector goes off.

Also, can you explain, or link, or anything, as to why shorting more shares than there are to trade a good thing? Why short selling is legal at all?

Shorting seems like a terrible tool in society, a way for people with money to gamble, win big, but occasionally fail so hard the federal government needs to step in.
Chinese Proposal on strengthening education aimed at making boys more masculine
I wouldn't say spaced repetition is un-studied, but it did sort of come in and out of vogue since its discovery. Look at the references here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition#References

One of the studies even differentiates between long- and short- term retention, as impacted by the timing of the repetitions. Pimsleur, possibly coincidentally, follows the method they describe as more appropriate for long-term retention.
I purchased the Sony WH-1000XM4 for $278, and the only thing I can complain about is that the name is hard to remember.

The comfort, sound quality, and ANC is just right. The price is a bit higher than I would have preferred, but didn’t find better choices at a cheaper price.

On the other hand I can’t see myself ever spending this much on headphones. I know there are people who can and will, but to me there’s nothing in that product to justify the price.

It also feels like any product Apple releases gets bonus review points (which I think is just confirmation bias), just because Apple made it.
I assume the single sex days exist for the minority that do find it more comfortable.

Averages are only averages; no doubt there exist many that præfer the single-sex days as well.

But it also shows another matter: I would think that the politicians would not be so accepting of single-race days, even if polls found that a just as significant number was more comfortable with them, as it is somehow in many cultures more acceptable to segregate by sex than it is by race. They would also be hesitants that have days that segregate on intelligence quotient, or income level, regardless of whether the polls show a desire for it.

As far as I know, public bathhouses and saunas do not have single sex days and are all mixed bathing where I live, and in Anglo-Saxon countries, they tend to be completely segregated all the time, and of course in Saudi-Arabia, most famously entire parks and sports events are sex-segregated.

I have read some anecdotal experiences of Anglo-Saxons in continental European mixed public baths, and how much of a culture shock it was for them. Yet, the verdict almost unanimously seems to be that however weird it be at first, the third time already it seems completely normal, and all the fears were unfounded and people really do not stare.

The hedge funds who were willing to bet on the stock price dropping from $20 and who would've almost certainly increased those bets when the stock was in the $300s.

I think it's this.

However, they aren't wrong, per se. Users should have control over their systems and their privacy. But hyperbole and fear mongering are not very effective at affecting change in the system.

I would argue that they have a noble mission but take it to such an extreme as to not be very practical.

The amendment says

> In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law [...]

There have been lots of legal disputes about the "impartial" part and the procedures for jury selection (leading to a whole body of custom and caselaw about it). I imagine that would be a contentious angle in your plan, because people who knowingly moved specifically in order to be eligible to serve on a jury for a particular trial might not appear entirely "impartial" in that case. (Of course, I'm not sure which way that issue would go.)
In addition, learning how various internet protocols (esp routing) are designed and historically evolved would be a good idea. Interconnections by radia perlman interconnections would be a start.

Ah, but I would argue those are better described as form and function being part of the designs. Done wholistic, it is why the new apple hardware is able to take some very impressive gains.

You can argue that some interfaces are separate products from the services. I agree with that. But each has its design and each is targeted on form and function to something.

That is, you don't separate them. You make a new product, that has its own form and function.
The main issue is that privacy and tracking are a death-by-a-thousand-cuts type of problem. Whatsapp may be tracking me, so I'll switch to Signal. But then I have to worry about Twitter and switch to Mastodon. Then I have to worry about a long tail of apps (notetakers, camera apps, flashlights, etc.) and find/build replacements for each of those. And even after I am done with the app-level tracking (if ever done), I still need to worry about OS-level tracking (at least in Android/Google Play Services/...).

When I'm managing junior folks, I generally advise them there are three main paths:
1. Keep focusing on IC/software work. You keep growing and having larger impact, capping off with an architect type role.
2. Lean into project management, full stack, and business a bit. Become a tech lead for increasing large/important projects. This is a great general path that still lets you be pretty close to the code.
3. Focus on business & people. Gain experience mentoring teammates, then interns, then become a people manager. At some point you're going to be trading cutting edge coding skills for mid level management skills. You can branch off to focusing on CTO or engineering leadership from here.

There are definitely a lot of other paths, but that above three are the most "well worn" and achievable in my experience.

https://hartfordhealthcare.org/about-us/news-press/news-deta...

30% asymptomatic does not a "vast majority" make. More than 1 in 50 infected dying (or 1 in 12 in the cases of countries with significant infections) may not matter to you, but that's something to be avoided for most people. On-going research is continually revealing new long-term impacts of those that recover from the disease.
