Agreed. My brother in law's dad got COVID. He had heart surgery before. They had him on blood thinners for some time and his doctor said that it was a very real possibility that it saved his life as he was already on something they would have probably prescribed to him.

He's in his 60s. Will he experience long term effects? Who knows.

I'm starting to get invited to meet in person for business and some are like "I get tested every week". And I just say sorry I don't make exceptions. I live with someone with a rare respiratory condition. A weekly test - what does that even tell me anyway? I know you're running your business and have employees coming in.

Everything is much easier with data. But when there is still so much to learn everyone weighs their risks differently.

Many of us here are extremely fortunate and can afford to pay for delivery and stay home.

So we need to understand that some people's perspective IS a real calculated risk tolerance.

If we can get data to understand long term effects, that will help with educating those that are really only weighing the risk of them dying.
Hey sigjuice! I couldn't agree more about the importance of show notes for podcasts.

I am actually doing some market research around power listeners that like to refer to show notes in podcasts. I would love to talk to you for 20 mins and ask you a few questions to learn from you. Happy to buy you a coffee in return (via paypal / venmo) :)

I’d also upload to Library Genesis, who previously were the storage backend for SciHub. To your point, distributed storage provides durability against censorship.
I might get angry but I'm fine with the laws that allow them to say it. I'm also fine with the laws that say that eBay can ban whatever products they want from their platform.

People are free to be mad at eBay for removing the books from their platform and eBay will take some hit for it. I suspect that they think the pros outweigh the cons with this decision, however it was calculated. This is just business as usual.
Wikipedia has it:

I've owned copies with these pages. It's depressing to me that some people think that we should keep teaching this stuff to kids.
Isn't this kind of a paradox? Most open source maintainers work in their free time on those projects, and have an additional fulltime job to cover the bills.

Assuming that everybody has the luxury to have additional office hours available is a bit far from reality in my opinion.

I mean, if you can offer office hours for an open source project you probably are already so popular that you are able to work on it fulltime, right? And if you're not that popular, you cannot offer office hours due to your daytime job; as you would have to decrease the rest of your remaining free time that you probably need to sleep and eat.
The name William has no commonly accepted or used meaning apart from as an identifier. I have no problem calling anyone by whatever identifier they choose, so long as they aren't asking me to apply an incorrect definition to that word.

The OED defines "guys" as a word used to refer to a group of people (male, female, or mixed). So if you ask me to not use a word because you refuse to accept its definition, that's very different to asking me to not use a word that is purely an identifier.
No they are not at all because you don't own the final product and the cost over the life of the project is just insane, users don't see that because it scales slowly and once you're hooked that's hard to escape...
The African pictures also look like African people, such as the traditional dress of the Tharaka people of Kenya:

https://www.gaiafoundation.org/app/uploads/2019/05/DSC_0150....

The book is explicitly depicting people from abroad, not African-Americans. As Dr. Seuss’s surviving family has attested to his character and wordliness, and his other books like “Horton Hears a Who” promote tolerance and the acceptance of minorities, I’m inclined to go with a simpler, more innocent explanation for these images.
Nearby town is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a Ft. Lauderdale suburb.

I think the point is that the long covid situation has been vastly over-stated.
> lazy, racist, stereotypes.

Exactly how is Roald Dahl, Dr Seuss or Wilbert Awdry lazy?

Looking at newspaper archives, "as black as niggers" was a used term, interestingly often around WW1 but also coal trains, which is Thomas the Tank Engines premise.

Mads Brügger's documentary "The Ambassador" has him getting Pygmy 'assistants', in a complex commentary of sorts.

Dr Seuss changed the Chinaman in On Mulberry Street once already.

The only laziness is people try to Just World these book burnings. How about we put them in the adult section of libraries, that would require effort to think about I guess. When will Facebook Marketplace ban this, will people reading them on Youtube be banned. How long before newspaper archives ban people searching on "as black as niggers". How long before they delete those articles.
Could you not use a IR laser to gradually engrave the pattern into the ice from afar?

I'm a full-stack software engineer based in Brooklyn, NY. I've mostly worked with the Ruby (Ruby on Rails and Sinatra) and JavaScript (Express, NextJS and ReactJS) stacks, but i love to learn and work with new languages and technologies.

Most recently I co-created BridgeAPI (https://bridgeapi.dev), a serverless integration platform that lets you connect apps through event-driven workflows.

Feel free to hit me up for a chat if you think I can contribute to your team!
It’s always nice to see such efforts around Postgres. I do think it’s very well suited to many needs aside from extreme scales that most won’t deal with.

In terms of graphs, there is also an implementation of Tinkerpop which allows using Gremlin, very different in nature to Cypher.

http://www.sqlg.org/docs/2.0.1/

NB: I believe cypher can compile to bytecode that runs on the tinkerpop engine which I found interesting
It absolutely has ads, for a few weeks every year, for itself.
it’s not baffling. we decided to glamorize billionaires rather than the amazing country we could have had if we’d stopped at millionaires as the height of (economic) status and reasonable wealth accumulation. a billionaire simply cannot allocate capital as efficiently as a thousand millionaires, so we choke on our own collective greed.
"It’s dangerous to complain about this stuff." Yep, I'm Latino but when NYC's law was going to make it a crime to call someone an "illegal immigrant" with a $250K fine I didn't even feel safe speaking out against this bad idea. Because I am in tech and high-income so "what do I know". Despite being slurred this way many years ago by a cop and despite assisting some cousins enter the country illegally and being held by a border agent.

All this "privilege checking" makes it difficult to speak out. The least privileged people have existential concerns more significant than our culture war so they don't speak out either. The Woke movement has been hijacked by narcissists. There is no resistance so this will only accelerate in the near term.
I think Maher is what the GP commenter would refer to as "transparently political" if he were on another side.
The problem I have with the word "partner" is that it is ambiguous -- it could mean life partner, sexual partner, or business partner. Honestly I wish there were another commonly accepted word I could use to avoid the ambiguity. "Spouse" comes close (if the couple is married) but there isn't a in well-accepted gender-neutral term for the other member in an unmarried pair. "SO" (significant other) comes close, but often I have to explain what that means, so I can't consider it well-accepted. And people seem to associate "partner" with sex, so if the couple is remaining chaste until marriage, using "partner" can be offensive. Sigh - English is hard.
Here we are in countries other than the US, I states other than California, maybe just not living in San Francisco reading hacker news, pretending it's relevant.

Nope, it's a silicon valley / SF bubble.
> The one thing I've consistently seen absent in many Scrum attempts is the sprint retrospective.

This is explicitly forbidden in Scrum. Retrospective is the only part that cannot be removed.

But I agree, most companies prefer to allow as little feedback as possible.
I respond with this because the people who just stormed the capitol were egged on by those claiming disenfranchisement in public and private sectors. I feel it's important to make the distinction, just as it was to point out there was not widespread voter fraud.
In cases where perfomance actually matters, you usually have other tools, like StringBuilder in C#. But in my experience, 99% of code that works with dynamic strings is not perfomance-sensitive, but is often very correctness-sensitive and readibility-sensitive.
"Hindrance to me" is the wrong attitude unless you run the company. Scrum is not for the team to work faster. It's for the teams work to be visible, understood and correctly allocated. I find a lot of devs who dislike scrum dislike being told they have to work on company priorities instead of giving open ended estimates and then doing whatever they want.
Nope. Look who overwhelmingly applies pressure to local governments everywhere -- it's not the marginalized and poor! This is not an SFBA phenomenon, it's almost a natural law.
It's not hard to generate a large volume of data with today's digital cameras (video & still). Backing that up to the cloud at 10 Mbps takes forever. Oh you want to switch cloud backup providers now? It will be another year before your initial backup completes.
That's pretty much what I meant by the matrix exponentiation method - applying the map (a, b) -> (a+b, a) repeatedly. Your function definitely uses tail calls, but I was just trying to say more than tail call optimization is needed to transform the trivial recursive version

fibb 0 = 0

fibb 1 = 1

fibb n = + (fibb (- n 1)) (fibb (- n 2))

into that, or any O(n) version.
The kernel is aware when files are modified.
This is why starlink is so important. I can not wait to stop paying Comcast.
The Canadian paper, National Post, seems to have a discussion:

However, I have seen some disagreement among different news sources about what exactly led to the bans.
My experience has been that TIDAL CD quality streams are of great quality, and some of the MQA ones are brilliant. Of course, a lot depends on the master quality, that seems to be the key these days as a lot of the sound compressionist's work has been automated by tools.
Yes my mother was never the same after knee replacement. Just lost her edge mentally and never recovered it.
As a dev I have spoken directly with customers in multiple projects, but based on mentioning revenue/marketing it seems you're coming from a consumer focus and not b2b implementations? It seems to be a common perspective on this site but it's not the only one.

Talking with a customer was great when we could, usually it's been when I worked in a small team (1-3 developers), speaking with either internal or external customers. We talk through what is needed then the BA/PM documents it in the updated job brief, rather than the other way around which leads to so much back and forth. It gets to the root of any uncertainty about what they want much quicker.

This is not any official brand of Agile. It's just our natural inclination when left alone. Talk, iterate, deliver.
The point is not that you received a lucky break, it's that you DIDN'T receive a smack-down. Your luck was that you didn't have an overwhelming stroke of bad-luck. Unlike people from disadvantaged backgrounds, someone coming from a situation of wealth can get all kinds of strokes of bad luck and still prosper.

As for provably false - here's a decent starting place for your research https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/rags-riche...
They can't choose based on current FCC policy. Private companies have choice within regulations, and that's a good thing for consumers. Everyone needs to play by the same rules and the big players don't get to take advantage of their positions as much.
Big surprise to most people: The purpose of estimating is not to come up with an estimate.

In a team of five, we might get 2,5,8,8,20. The value of the estimation was in discovering that someone thinks it's a 20, while someone else thinks it's a 2. They tell the rest of the team why, and we estimate again. Another useful signal is ?,?,?,?,? or (50,50,50,50,50). And of course, 5,5,5,8,8 (or other general agreement) suggests that this is low risk.

You certainly wont hear that from a scrum consultant.
This is a ridiculous over-reaction by eBay.
Once upon a time there was a big social movement of the 99% against the 1% called Occupy Wall Street. Now there is a strange coincidence where every major multi-national mega-corp is pushing wokeness. All our attention is being spent on whose lives matter most, who is wearing a mask, what books are banned, and if Coca Cola thinks you should be "less white." It's best we not be too concerned about the Trillions of dollars in wealth transfer that have been going on the last few years with the bailouts and monetary policy.
Suppose your problem intrinsically has variable numbers of variable size records coming and going at runtime. Sure you can allocate a big array upfront. But it seems to me that the code which directs records to slots in this array is an allocator.
If you’re looking for a book — shape up — from basecamp goes through how they develop software and it looks great ! I am giving it a try. It’s very agile but not scrum.

I also agree that after a team gels together there’s no need for a lot of the overhead that comes with scrum.

My experience in organizations have always been to continuously shape the process depending on how the team feels about it and not call it scrum
But Scrum reinforces all of that; arbitrary deadlines, sprints check; lack of control, product owner the only named role check; process centric, corporate compatibility check.
When evil.com receives an auth token for a user visiting example.org, how does it know which user that token is associated with?

Then, when evil.com receives a different auth token for the same user visiting other.net, how does evil.com know that new auth token correlates to the same user on example.org?

This is the third-party identity linking that's now impossible for evil.com to accomplish independently. They need other.net and example.org to share some common information (like an email address) to make the link. For logged out users, it should be impossible without resorting to fingerprinting.

This was Firefox and Safari's entire reason d'etre for launching Total Cookie Protection and Intelligent Tracking Protection. I don't believe CNAME cloaking overcomes their protections, or at the very least, I don't see where this paper explains an attack vector.
When the manifesto came out I thought it was a great idea, as I recall. But now I can't recall what was in it. Something about "people, not popcorn." Or was that The Cathedral and the Bazaar?

You can say we should separate agile from scrum, but scrum basically is agile today (and Kanban!), modulo the odd free thinking, practically self-managed shop. Agile comes in via consultant after a shop declares itself on a "burning platform."

What it's become, IMO, is work about work. I hated it.

The only contact I have with it now is when my manager has to hang up the phone because she has to go to the standup of other managers. (I drive a truck.)
"Their" as a neuter/indeterminate plural goes back centuries. Which is to say that Midwest usage isn't part of that culture war.
We're always just 5 years from away from L5. Maybe soon - honda just released an L3 car in limited production for Japan.
We're a Canadian company serving Canadian customers, though at some point we may expand into the US.

Are you a fit for us? If not, what are our alternatives?
Seriously. It sounds like some sort of disease.
Exactly. Why do those books get a pass? They encourage readers to do abhorrent things such as keep slaves and behead nonbelievers. If we're going to censor books because they cause people to hate others, then major religious texts should be first in line. The fact that censors don't go after these books is evidence that their actual goals differ from their claimed goals.
I confirmed that my bank, credit card, and stock broker on the list (mainly uses Adobe Experience Cloud), horrible.
Yes of course the show is politically biased I just think his supposed thesis does not match the conclusions he draws. It is misleading that he presents himself as a centrist while laughing at those who would criticize the alt right.

Perhaps his thing is he just wants to criticize everyone and get away with it and if that's the case then I don't get what he stands for. Might be how I feel about conservatism in general which increasingly seems to be just anti-everything that would impose rules on the wealthy.
I can't say that matches my generally nice experience with the demos on desktop, although mobile scrolling was pretty bad.

As you mention yourself, Flutter Web already implements some things using the DOM and is clearly capable of doing so, it's just a matter of degree. I can believe that Flutter would benefit a lot from using the DOM more, but that could change any time by some Flutter contributor saying "hm the custom tab ordering impl doesn't work too well, let's render a DOM tree for tabs" or something similar for ARIA attributes, text inputs, etc. It's hardly a fatal or intractable issue with the architecture.

Many of these complaints are real issues that Flutter should tackle but they feel pretty overblown. There's a general tenor that jumps from "there are still many issues" to "what's even the point of Flutter Web if it can't get everything right". Flutter Web has to start somewhere and good desktop browser support (which is hardly unusable) is good enough for many real use cases. I don't think anyone is selling it as a mature second iteration which seems like a misunderstanding of the v2 semantic version which applies to the core framework, not Flutter Web that just left beta. If there's any org I trust to do the difficult work of cross-platform support, it's Google which already provides the lion's share of funding, standards design and implementation development to the web. IIRC Flutter's dev team also has Chrome engineers on it. I expect it to attract the attention of more orgs as it matures and hopefully becomes more popular, the core framework has already received open source contributions from Microsoft and Canonical.

> they're not building an entirely new render engine from scratch

The web platform builds an entirely new render engine from scratch. Native OS platforms give you a lot for free too and you see the exact same complaints about the web's independent behavior proven irrelevant again and again as the web/Electron continue to demonstrate incredible value despite reinventing many wheels.

Master quality is king these days, when "transparent" compression codecs are used. However, there are still many people who believe they can hear/feel the difference. You will need a combination of a golden ear and extra good equipment, starting from about 1K and above for a headphone setup.
To riff on this I think this weird expectation of projects to "grow" is a side effect of the increasing corporate influence on F/OSS.

So many conference talks' second slide is a "numbers" slide wit how many github stars, active contributors and other vanity metrics. It strikes me that the point is not just to convey that the project has an ecosystem behind it (with the implication there being that you can get free feature development and support), but to hit some sort of weird OKR-ish goal set.
Ooohhh. That makes sense. :) Thanks for explaining it.
SIZE_MAX does exist.
Moving away from blacklist/whitelist seems reasonable to me.
The Weather Underground was founded by students from the University of Michigan, who spent their college years arguing that people should violently resist the government. When they graduated, they didn't moderate out of these ideas; they doubled down, started an organized bombing campaign, and successfully hit targets including Capitol Hill and the Pentagon.

It's a self-feeding cycle of being too scared by the reporting to go outside and socialize and observe for oneself that "there's no there there" so just trust the official story and stay afraid.
Recently I asked my non tech savvy mom if she wanted to join YouTube Premium with me under a family plan so that she doesn't have to see ads on her YouTube any more.

Her response was "No thank you. I like the ads. Sometimes I see things I like".
