If Taiwan launches missiles at Shanghai or Beijing, then I’m pretty sure the Taiwanese are fcked. It’s game on at this point. And China will carpet bomb the shit out of Taiwan.

At that point, the surviving Taiwanese will wish they weren’t so stupid, and had accepted the One-China policy to begin with, instead of being the sacrificial pawns of the Americans.

And nukes.. if you want to play with nukes, then the Chinese has plenty of nukes. Who’s going to blink first and launch them? China or the United States?

We know for a fact, that the United States cowardly dropped nukes on civilian populations. Twice. So, there’s a high likelihood that they’ll be the first to launch them. But this time, China has nukes of their own too.

You’re being too emotional. Take a chill pill and relax. A shooting war between China and the United States, will result in all the major American cities turned into a nuclear wasteland. At that point, is your pride still worth it?

> it's like a condom for your face. What's not to love?

I know you're being cheeky here, but just to be serious for a moment: there's a HUGE literature on the subject of condom use and public-health messaging from the 80s and the HIV crisis. Condoms are...not exactly popular, of course (the TL;DR is that shaming doesn't work very well. Honesty and education >> scolding and shaming when it comes to behavioral change that is intimate and unpleasant).

It's continually astounding to me how many lessons from that pandemic seem to have been forgotten.

But there is more Linux support there than ever before too.

When I first started using Linux it wasn't uncommon for websites to demand you use ActiveX for example!

The only place where we're losing ground is in mobiles. There we really see the downside of proprietary monopolies like WhatsApp, etc. being able to decide where and how you can access the service.
Or, you could also just switch the feature off in the settings.
Basically, you want to keep the history of individual logical patches to the codebase, but not the meta-history of how those patches were made.

I think this is a very interesting case study of a solo developer making money in free software.

on the official website https://vital.audio/ there are several premium tiers. These premium tiers are (as far as I understand) still compatible with 'free software' ideas (additional sound presets, skins, etc.).

This synth is already popular around the whole music community. Functionality easily rivals other synth software sold for $200+.
> It's been scientifically measured that sans-serif fonts are better for screens with serif best for printed text.

Were any of those studies conducted after high DPI displays became commonplace? Other than backlighting, I can't think of much that would distinguish a serif font on a high DPI display from one in print.
Mozilla is directly competing with Google - probably the most powerful tech company in the world. Google could kill them in a heartbeat, but they keep them around to avoid antitrust issues. If that ever changes and Mozilla doesn't have any other sources of income to fall back on, they can't possibly survive that.
I totally agree with your arguments, I would rather live in a fucking shed in the forest than to sell out my privacy like that.

Also it seems ridicolously easy to game, just buy a seperate upwork computer and when you go afk, just leave the right program open.
So like a lot of 70s and 80s developers then. Especially in the UK, there were so many bedroom coders that churned out games, defining so many gaming tropes and technologies that we use today and went completely uncredited.

There's some great sites, podcasts and youtube channels aiming to preserve their stories, but some people just aren't interested. To some it was just a job they did 40 years ago

Take for example RMC interviewing Gale Wellington the other day on the development of the Commodore CDTV, a name that probably next to no-one in the scene knew https://youtu.be/BJMADu4eo3o
The wings have redundant structure and will survive. The passengers are likely why there was a push to contain the blades. I don't know when they finally figured out how to do it, but it's an amazing achievement. It's all part of airliners evolving to be safer all the time.

Note that the same problem exists for propeller driven airplanes. I recall one incident where a prop passenger plane was crossing the Pacific when the propeller assembly came clean off. It sliced its way through the fuselage like butter, screwing up the control cables in the process. The pilots got that bird home by the skin of their chinny chin chins.
I can chip in here - I've tried using the sculpt with the receiver plugged into a USB hub on a MacBook and it was completely unusable - every other keystroke was dropped. It works fine when plugged directly into the MacBook though, even with a USB A -> C converter.
Worth giving it a shot, as it's the best keyboard I've used to date, though I'm currently eyeing up the successor (Microsoft surface ergonomic keyboard) even with the unnecessary numpad - it looks to be of a higher build quality, and the bluetooth freeing up a port is a bonus.
There is no "uncertain marginal effect." The science is in, and it's clear.

As for "politically fraught" - people are forced to wear things called clothes literally every day. Some are forced to wear business suits and other eccentric, uncomfortable, and context-specific attire.

People are also forced to wear seatbelts and act in other ways which show responsibility for public health - for example by not smoking in public areas.

The political point here is that masks - which have now been proven to be helpful - are only considered a 'politically fraught act' by people who want to politicise the Covid response.

For people who are rational about this, there is no issue.

For people who are hostile to public rationality, there is.

In 25 years, the west will forget about it. And resume trade as normal.

After all, it was the west that wanted “Free Trade” with China, so that they could shove opium down their throats.

But for some strange reason, the West is upset that the Chinese got upset, and kicked them out. And they had to turn to an alternative political model, in order to survive, so they can remove all western influence on them.
There are probably lots of companies like this. Fortunately there are also lots of other companies who trust their coworkers!
Actually it is a heck of a lot better than an airplane.

14 diesel locomotives sounds like a lot, but that is absolute maximum power, and a TGV carries a ton of people. On routes where they are very inefficient (London-Paris as an example), you're looking at around 10 times more emissions by plane (plane 122kg vs high speed train 11kg.) On routes where they are efficient, you're looking at more around 100x more emissions by plane (65kg Paris to Lyon by plane vs 0.7kg by TGV.)

Data here:

https://ressources.data.sncf.com/explore/dataset/emission-co...

You'll notice that you can cross the whole of France, 1001km Lille-Marseille, for just about 1.6 kilograms CO2 per person per trip. Try that in a plane!
Just a tip, you can do this without any third-party tools by going to Settings -> Keyboard -> "Modifier Keys..." and swapping around the modifier keys on a per-keyboard basis. I ended up uninstalling Karabiner after finding this - one less thing to worry about for a new install.

I loved the keyboard, except longevity (of pieces I personally got) was really really bad.

As for the mouse that comes with it, I went through 3 of them (left button started to randomly not click, about once every 3 clicks which drove me crazy) and then just gave up.

Keyboard itself could be said that I damanged as I tried to remove key to clean crumb that got inside and I could never get it back.
Reports of rare marine phenomenon such as rogue waves¹ were widely dismissed as “tall” (no pun intended) tales by sailors – and more recently – surfers. It wasn’t until the last few decades that photography and marine instruments provided empirical evidence for their existence.

I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss anecdotal reports of simalarly rare and hard-to-capture aeronautical pheonmenon.

I bookmarked GIMONS page[1] on this a long while back, as he's the original developer (I note there's also a link to it on this github).

I too am surrounded by SCSI drives, as I'm currently trying to get a bunch of Amiga 500 sidecar SCSI controllers up and running, so GIMONs work was of some interest.

However, for the moment, I've got enough working SCSI-2 drives to be getting on with, plus you can't beat that lovely sound of whirring and clicks during the spin up :)

One day I know I'll have to swap them out for solid state, but for now I'll stick with what I've got.

Then read the clang builtins, much better. With clang you can do C++ stuff, not only _Generic, but overloadable. Which is useful for arbitrary struct support for this problem. https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#overload...

Electric Vehicles: What Is Stopping Them from Becoming Mainstream?
This remind me of Remotion. I have no comments about the Standup vs. Rally. How this is solving a problem for me is that I no longer needs to create zoom call for every meeting, and it seems to be less resource heavy than Google Meets during screenshare.

1. Screen sharing does not work without enabling webcam first.

2. Room options are not presented in the room, I had to go back to lobby (e.g. change settings)

3. Video resolution is better than Discord free-tier, though the bandwidth/speed seems slow.

4. How can I invite someone online to my table or room?

5. When I'm out of room or stopped camera, chrome is still occupying my webcam / my macbook cam light is still on.

6. I was hoping there is option to keep room always open.

Awesome work; Keep it up!
LinkedIn is really a disgusting place imo. The only people who are active on LinkedIn is people that sells bullshit and recruiters who spam everyone.

I've hired someone for a short term, low-price contracting gig recently (not on the marketplaces mentioned here) who specifically requested to be paid in cryptocurrency if possible and even offered a discount for that. The reason was that after converting USD into his local currency he would get robbed by Paypal fees.

So I support efforts to enable faster, seamless global commerce which will help gig workers to get more gigs and avoid paying middlemen ridiculous fees.

Those downvoting you probably don't have experience with gig workers from poorer parts of the world, where middlemen like Paypal are a barrier to commerce.

That’s like asking if the Republican and Democratic parties now considered to be the whole of US government? The answer is in practice yes, and neither of those two private organizations operate democratically (they operate based on seniority, and can create arbitrary rules like super delegate voting).
It seems like you may not see the local instantiation and the original to share the same identity. If I was a local instantiation that knew the length of my existence was limited (and that an original me would live on), that doesn't mean I'd act different than my original self in rebellion. I'd see myself and the original as the same person whose goals and future prospect of rewards are intertwined.

Like another commentor pointed out, I'd see my experience as a memory that would be lost outside the manifestation of my work. It would be nice to have my memories live on in my original being, but not required.

This concept of duplicated existence is also explored in the early 2000s children's show Chaotic (although the memories of one's virtual self do get merged with the original in the show): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaotic_(TV_series)

The one thing that defines fervent anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, the "let's open for business while people are still dying" crowd, and others with bizarre beliefs is that they make their statements with absolute certainty, and with no admission that they might ever be wrong.

Medical understanding of Covid has made huge strides over the last year, precisely because doctors and researchers never claimed to be omniscient about the virus.

Meanwhile the deniers are still claiming the virus is "just a bad case of flu" and "masks don't do anything" and "lockdowns don't work" in spite of the accumulated mountain of evidence that those statements are nonsense.
I've used Contentful, Strapi, Ghost, Wordpress, Webflow and Netlify CMS in the past so I think I might have a good perspective on this. I think all those tools fall short when you want to make a site with 90% standard components and then one or two interactive custom React components with some Framer motion effects.

I've played around a bit with this product and it looks like it does a good compromise between flexibility and ease of use. As I'm redesigning my company's site in the next weeks I think I'll give this a try

Consider the DC-10 which had the 3rd engine in the tail. One day, the compressor came apart and cut the lines to all three hydraulic systems. The lines drained out, and the pilots had to fly it back using variable engine thrust to control the airplane. They still lost a third of the passengers on landing, but it remains an incredible display of piloting skill that there were any survivors at all.

Slinging the engines under the wings makes it much easier to design the aircraft to be resistant to turbine burst. Modern airliners are now also designed to not lose the entire hydraulic system if a line gets severed (check valves are used).
Great work on launching! I would be interested to know who the target market is - if you’re technically competent enough to know your react from your vue how likely are you to use a visual builder? I’m speaking from a technical background, but also webflow etc haven’t clicked for me so maybe I just prefer the had way. The airtable integrations etc; I know people who would LOVE that and wish they could run their entire lives from the platform so that’s a winner. Sort of in the same way as you used to see people pushing excel to be the “everything” tool, people are now doing with airtable, so giving a nice front end of just running the site out of there is great. Well done guys!
Because those in the environmental space have talked and waffled and maybe don't have the reach they need. Money talks and they might get something more done.

Yours sincerely, someone who works adjacent to those in the environment space.
The ecosystem is slowly expanding beyond applied disciplines, because when those people need to code something else, e.g. a Web site for their research data, then as usual they try to use the hammer they already know.
You probably don't know much about Economics and have a very distorted view on what it is. You should definitely try reading something like the Undercover Economist by Tim Harford which is a pleasant read and a good introduction to the way economists think. Economists try to understand the world using a very consistent approach. It can seem strange at first but it is very deep.

By the way, the way economists think has been deeply influenced by John Von Neumanm who has also had a deep influence on computer science (assuming that's your thing) so you may find some interesting overlap.
I think the problem with monitoring workers' screens is you are trying to ensure that they are "working". Instead the client should have managers who are trying to figure out WHAT the workers are working on. To understand whether useful work is being done you need to understand the structure of the application, and then understand what kind of progress is made in terms of that.

Manage the development of the product, not workers' time.
Interestingly this will benefit from terminal apps that were optimized for slow TTY lines, which will require less screen updates.
Bluetooth, at least on Logitech devices that support both their proprietary connection and BT, seems to have far more latency in many situations. The difference is Logitech's proprietary setup with Unifying receivers allows multiple compatible devices to be paired or unpaired to any Unifying receiver, including multiple receivers and (on some newer mice/keyboards) simultaneously connected receivers.

Yes, it comes at quite a premium, but it does run Android, so you can also add custom apps via ADB. And you can read DRM e-books and it has a front-light.

I in many ways prefer the ReMarkable, but the Lumi does have a lot of features for different use-cases, like using as external monitor.
Really minor part of the market.
I think it's less a problem of how quickly it kills people rather than how strong are the symptoms. And the strength of the symptoms I would assume is very correlated to its deadliness. What makes this virus travel very far is precisely the fact that it is not very deadly and that half the carriers don't even realise they had it.
I loved how you could transfer save games from one VMU card to another by just plugging them in together, no adaptor or console needed.
I wouldn't link the usefulness of swap to the quality of programs. It has a lot to do with user behavior. If a user opens 100 tabs in a web browser but never looks at most of them, swapping unused ones to disk if they don't fit in RAM anymore is a very useful behavior (considering the alternative is killing the entire program).

You could argue an optimally coded program should do this themselves, however, that is not so easy when multiple programs are running concurrently and fighting for RAM. On an 8GB machine, how much RAM should your web browser use? The answer is "it depends". If there are no other programs running, it can use all 8GB. If you are running an IDE, a chat client and a compiler in the background, it should probably be using less.

The individual programs don't have enough information to make this judgement call - and making very conservative estimates will lead to much more swapping than actually required. The operating system is in charge of allocating memory for all those programs and can effectively make the judgement of what should be swapped out or not.
The gap is part of the universe we have trouble seeing because it is obscured by Milky Way.
Except you are forgetting the little detail that Object Pascal was born out of a collaboration between Apple and Niklaus Wirth for their Lisa OS, later picked up for Mac OS, and Borland picked up from there, and kept adding C++ like features to it.

So Wirth was influential in Object Pascal's birth, but cared very little with what happened later on.
As I acknowledged. But what they did originally is only a fraction of what's required for a browser these days. Saying "KDE did it" today is like saying "look, the Wright brothers built a plane! You can, too!".

Back then, the web was simpler and so we had many different engines. Today, we really only have two. All other attempts have failed - even Microsoft couldn't compete. The only reason Mozilla is still going is because of their head start and Google money. If Apple hadn't picked up KHTML and turned it into WebKit and Google developed their own thing, KHTML would be even more dead than Gecko is today.
FWIW, I have been hiring freelancers on UpWork for some years and I never looked at those work diaries even once. I only check the output of each person.
Well the guy in charge of monitoring security and being ahead of this stuff was fired. So I’d assume if we had been tolerant before we won’t be so tolerant of this speech in the future.
> There is no "uncertain marginal effect." The science is in, and it's clear.

Statements like this help no one. "The science" is not a noun. It is not "in". There is a great deal of uncertainty in what we actually know about masks. The article you're claiming is definitive proof admits as much:

"being more definitive about how well they work or when to use them gets complicated. There are many types of mask, worn in a variety of environments. There are questions about people’s willingness to wear them, or wear them properly. Even the question of what kinds of study would provide definitive proof that they work is hard to answer."

Again, please read the Lancet, CEBM and DANMASK links I linked above. You will see that there is a great deal of uncertainty.
