> And as for "moderately obese"... I wouldn't have previously described myself that way, but I fit it.

Obesity is divided into 3 classes: class 1 (low-risk, BMI 30.0 to 34.9), class 2 (moderate-risk, 35.0 to 39.9), class 3 (high risk, 40.0 or higher). Using the term "moderate obesity" for class 2 obesity may not be exactly standard, but it has some logic to it.

Is it possible you have subclinical OCD?

India’s cryptocurrency community braces for a sweeping ban
"Undergraduates have trouble learning it" does not indicate how viable a technology is in the real world, especially once you have parameters approaching the extremes of what's possible.

You can write something using fork-join that works correctly in theory, but expecting it to always work while running on undeterministic hardware is exactly the kind of blind optimism that causes so much software to come down crashing if you look at it wrong.
I was just thinking the other day, was it worth using rclone to encrypt the file names in the B2 bucket I used for backup. Given that it limits you to the rclone tool to access files for recovery.

A resounding yes it seems...

The Unreal Engine Game Framework: From Int Main() to BeginPlay
Actually, anyone can get an OBDII scanner. The trick is figuring out what the code means, and hope you bought the service manual and have a space to remove half the bloody car based on the part that died, because (if you have say, a 2000 Chevy Venture with a cracked oil pan, you have to pull the frigging engine out of the car to get to and replace it) auto manufacturers build for automated assembly, not service and easy access..
> What is lacking most of the times in university hires is common sense or a good grasp of foundational concepts

In my experience, that's because universities don't care about teaching you critical thinking or making sure you actually understand things.

I often see people say things like "university taught me how to think". Maybe at MIT, Harvard, etc they truly do. But my experience was that they just care that you pass your tests. Having any sort of fundamental understanding or being able to think for yourself was not a requirement, which is why I dropped out.
No, I’m telling you forcing a bureaucrat’s idea of the right thing on everyone is fraught with problems.
That's par for the course for technically orientated roles. I was labelled 'defensive' and denied a pay increase because a business development executive wanted to make our documentation dynamic based on user access, and I pointed out it was difficult to find a solution when users can have over 400 access permissions, which varied depending on country, and our documentation was 900 HTML pages, some of which were equavlent to 200 A4 pages.

Yes I think that's right. But I think that quote misses the point that there's a connection - if someone has been taught roughly how to program a Raspberry Pi to control a robot (even if they did it at school 10+ years ago), that might give them enough confidence to go and work out how to script whatever monotonous Excel task they do in VBA etc with a little help from Google.
Two more deaths after the AZ vaccine in Norway yesterday. So far 120-130k vaccinated here, all of them under 65. 4 of them dead after very unusual and hard to treat thrombosis. Treating doc at Oslo university hospital has said the vaccine is very likely the cause. This vaccine is halted in Norway in it will likely stay that way for the foreseeable future.

I just need to know what this thing is and how to get it running. Be simple and direct.

1. What does this thing do?

2. How to install this thing.

3. Examples of using this thing along with output.

> For the reduced logistic regression model, the score was given by the following formula:
S = 0.259503 × NumberSymptoms + 0.055457 × age − 0.633310 × sex − 3.20 (where sex is encoded as 1 − female/2 − male)
Where ‘NumberSymptoms’ corresponds to the sum of different symptoms experienced over the first week among the list of 14 symptoms reported on daily logs. This score was then transformed to a probability using the formula: 1/(1 + exp(−score))

> App users were disproportionately female, and those over 70 years of age were underrepresented, which could increase or decrease our estimate of the prevalence and duration of long COVID.

So basically if the patient is a 30 y.o man with 7 symptoms has almost twice more chance of having long covid than a woman on the same conditions ? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I guess more of what I'm asking is how rms contributed to GNU's lack of traction rather than whether it is declining/not gaining traction or not.

No consequences for what? Stallman resigned 18 months ago. Did it make any difference to woman or "PoC" in the industry? How much positive discrimination, quota hiring and preferential treatment do you need before you realise maybe women don't want to be in this industry any more than they want to be in the bricklaying or ditch digging industry.
> It's still mind-boggling to me that it's possible to get (a constrained subset of) C# to beat hand-optimized C++.

That sounds interesting, do you know if there are benchmarks available?
I thought that quote was silly. If there's a useful point in there I'm missing it. Someone who can program a raspberry pi to control a robot may not be able to instantly debug your legacy spaghetti code with zero supervision on day one of the job. But I think robot programmers meet a pretty solid standard already if we only had enough such graduates.
Burst and Job system forces the user to follow good patterns for the multithreading, and makes sure that the user isnt writing to the same thread-unsafe structure from 2 jobs. In that regard its similar to what Rust does.
It really is great to have all that checking, as if it passes the checks, it probably will work great. Keeping all the read/write dependencies beetweeen tasks in Cpp is very hard.

What if they pause vaccinations they don't think should be paused on medical grounds, in order not to affect the vaccine's public image? That seems to be what's happening now.
I'm not sure I follow. In release mode it does the most performant thing by default. In debug mode and tests it catches potential problems with using this default.

Either way there are explicit methods for doing wrapped, checked or saturating operations in every mode.

Leave where? In the EU salaries are even lower. As a contractor in the UK, even with IR35, you can earn after tax well above 7kGBP a month. I earn, without bragging, 10k GBP a month, after tax - although I am not inside IR35. Others tell me they are simply increasing their daily rate to cover for IR35. And no to mention benefits as a software engineer: bonuses, shares, etc if you are permanents, thing rarely met in continental Europe.
Yes, but it's not directional. You don't get to make a T-joint of three coils and have the current follow the top bar as it's a straight line.
So, there’s a bit of a history of Stallman botching GNU leadership. The organization has grown to the scale where it requires a different skill set to lead than the skill set he has.

It’s clear he has a vision for the GNU software, but the development process itself is chaotic and needs more central guidance on a policy/process level—but he tries to lead it on a more technical/maintainer level.

One example is the glibc/emacs unexec discussion. He stepped in to meddle without enough knowledge of the relevant teams, in order to solve an issue that would have been avoided with a more explicit policies in place about the relationship between different GNU projects.

Having a vision is not enough, there are a lot of other things you need to do right in order to lead a project like that.

To be fair, I think the role of universities has evolved but universities are still stuck in the past.

Such a large proportion of the population goes to university these days that they aren't really just academic institutions anymore.

Either they should be more selective, embrace their role as a more vocational institution or at the very least create courses/degrees that distinguish between academic and industry/vocational pathways.

Telia about why they are trying out micro front ends
This is a good example of how pro-cancelers operate. Directly misquote the OP (as you pointed out) and put some distasteful stuff in the vicinity of mentioning the target, so people will unconsciously associate him with that.
When I got my masters in creative writing, the program director told us, almost daily, not to expect to make money from our writing. We would not be getting rich. It was a harsh, but realistic view. His point was that we should be writing for the right reasons. You shouldn’t be creating so that you become the next Stephen King. You should be writing to express your views and commentary on the world around you.
Telia about how they have implemented micro front ends
I think the contracting/consulting market is going to fragment into 'genuine' consultancy and people who are effectively temps. The temp end of the market is going to need to push hard to get the reward level back to where it has been over the last few years, because of these changes.

Honestly I think the real solution to the issue is to tax gains from assets (i.e. dividends etc) higher than salaries, rather than lower, then this whole thing could go away.
I think that's true and it definitely shows how cancel culture only hurts some people but doesn't hurt others that much depending on their wealth and their influence. That said, really add to the discussion for others who aren't that powerful relatively.
"To make the GPU concurrent so it can receive instructions on separate threads at the same time" has been one of the major reasons to use Vulkan instead of OpenGL since the beginning, it isn't only a wish.

Reducing dependencies and organizing scheduling of simulation and rendering tasks in order to perform useful work in parallel, both on the CPU and the GPU, remains challenging, but an important bottleneck has been lifted.

What horrible practices can introduce 10 frames of latency, besides generic slowness and gratuitous buffering?
I don't see how this is relevant _at all_ to the linked article. You seem to be taking existing arguments that aren't even related to RMS's case and arguing against a strawman of an extreme version of them.

No "mob justice" happened here. No women came forward and said RMS "hit on them" or whatever. RMS faced criticism for comments which justified rape and were close to victim blaming, and willingly resigned from his position at the FSF because of it. A position I personally believe he could have kept had he decided not to resign (and the fact that he is able to return to it so soon after leaving suggests I am correct).

Edit: I think that several people are placing too much importance on the "willingly resigned" part of my comment downthread. If you believe that RMS was forced out and he had no choice in the matter (i.e. it was "resign or get fired"), then feel free to replace the words "willingly resigned" with "was fired" in my comment (and ignore the last sentence in that paragraph), the point being made still stands.
Falcon Heavy took longer than expected, but still managed to launch years ago. The only reason they're not bothering to get it human-rated is that they've switched all focus to Starship.

This has actually caused some interesting dynamics:

- To get F9 human-rated, SpaceX had to perform many successful launches using the same configuration.

- Keeping the same configuration essentially froze any further development of F9.

- Development focus switched to a green-field successor, the BFR/Starship.

- Announcement of BFR/Starship caused an Osborne Effect for Falcon Heavy: anyone considering it (even SpaceX themselves!) would be better off waiting to see if Starship works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect

- This stifled Falcon Heavy's market (which was already questionable/nascent), resulting in very few launches

- Having very few launches makes it hard to human-rate Falcon Heavy (in any case, SpaceX have bet the house on Starship)
So this makes things very similar to how Vue does things. Vue 3 with its encapsulated reactive library also works this way. But immediately I wonder how it works with React innards, do I have to optimize rendering? Does it do wasteful re-renders? How does it affect diffing?

Alternative hypothesis: SLS funding supports some other program that cannot be acknowledged and actual amount spent on SLS is very small.
I think the agreed-upon way of handling this is revealing personal opinions on difficult subjects very carefully to gauge the reactions, and only proceeding if doing so wouldn't disturb the peace more than what the discussion would be worth.
There are of course a ton of potentially difficult subjects, as the ever expanding "Culture War" Wikipedia article shows[1].

But after thinking about it for a bit, this approach of "tread carefully and don't disturb others" is still problematic.
Because, where do you draw the line about things that you should or should not speak up against?
My intuitive example would have been an anti-vaxxer at work, that I probably would have felt the need to criticize and correct, because their opinion might kill my grandma.
But then, militant atheists might also feel like they have to criticize believers, given the huge number of people killed in the name of one god or another.

I think a fundamental factor here is the level of confidence in one's belief that is warranted. Challenging others (especially publicly) on what they believe should only be seen as a sensible thing to do when the confidence in your opinion that leads to to that criticism is warranted.
For things like vaccinations, we thankfully have scientific evidence that would indicate that anyone who outright believes they are ineffectual or "give people autism" is, in all likelihood, simply wrong.
On the other hand, a belief in god ultimately can't ever be shown as wrong[2], so being very confident in your belief that there is no god still doesn't justify putting down others for believing the opposite.

> That's not what wrong means.

Yes sorry, that was meant fairly tongue-in-cheek, because I assumed that for a person like our Mr. X, the distinction between "of a different opinion" and "wrong" would be very blurry.

> Religious ideas are not opinions, they are fact claims about the universe.

Isn't that just a really wide-spanning opinion though? Maybe we're using the word differently and mean the same?

According to here, software engineers are paid roughly the same as other types of engineer, and a lot more than plumbers.

There are some very low paid development related job titles. For example, "Web Developer" salaries are always awfully low - but that's a job title you only ever really see at tech-phobic companies or design agencies.

Speaking as someone who does a fair amount of hiring in London, a decent software engineer commands a high salary - around the six figure mark. I don't mean FAANG "can invert a binary tree on a whiteboard" level, just "knows what a mutex is". There really aren't many other careers in this country that you can be paid six figures in a non-management job without a degree.

The FSF matters, the ideas matter. RMS is an important part of all that.

Web? Javascript? There is a big world of software out there.
I disagree insofar as the scenarios you describe (implicit trust in computer security, trust that another driver won’t swerve into your vehicle’s path) are perfectly good examples of the overall definition I posited above.

Indeed, if one didn’t have forbearance of (say) a software vendor or perhaps a dependency then one would be entirely free to not use that vendor’s product or that particular package. Similarly, if you don’t swerve right to prudentially make space for an approaching vehicle to serve into your path then you’re showing them forbearance and trusting them (or swerve left, depending on one’s location on the Earth what side of the road is legally mandate).

So, yep: those are perfect examples of Trust as embodied in the definition I presented above. And of course it lies at the root of initiatives such as Trusted Computing Initiative & cetera.
> the half-baked version of some important truths probably sounds exactly like the most offensively ignorant notions you could think of.

And good people are the ones who won't punish you for that. I'd agree an entire social group being this open minded seems unlikely in 2021, but GP may just have really effective filter bubble.
Why is it so hard though?

I guess the problem is always power management, and I guess writing drivers for the appropriate hardware?

I still fail to understand why there isn't more open source projects like this using android, since android is open source.

I mean using linux on a desktop is easily feasible, but "owning" a tablet or a phone seems like it's so difficult.
Not an epidemiologist so don't weigh my opinion too highly, but as a data analyst, my first impression of this "model" is overfitted nonsense.
Does Wasabi do something similar? Have you checked? There’s probably a very limited window to do that, I’d imagine everyone in this space is checking their trackers now.
> Leave where?

US, Canada, Australia. All have higher salaries for software people, though not all as good as London finance contracting has been.

I earn around the same level you do and am leaving for Australia sometime in the next few months. I don't expect to make anything close to my current contracting income, though I do plan to start a consulting company over there at some point.
I'm surprised that GTM doesn't handle that. They would have a good idea of how long requests are taking to different domains and limit requests to the slower ones.

I like this solution because it’s simple, testable, and global.
About badges: Though I certainly don't advise anyone adding twenty silly badges to their README, seeing a pipeline status, code coverage (and depending on the language, the code style) makes me assume that the project cares about quality and have the know-how to ensure that the quality is measured.

If the project maintainers added a GitHub stars counter, then I assume they check their starts, and I'll consider staring their project (one sec and could make the maintainers 0.1% happier). In case I see a Twitter badge, then I'd follow them.

So I see the first group as a signal about what I need to know before I pull in a dependency, and the second group as something I can do to make the maintainers day.
I sure hope things like this don't catch on.

It's certainly a problem, but the biggest problem is simply that Backblaze doesn't need to integrate Facebook pixel to their web interface, especially when users are logged in.

There is absolutely zero benefit to this for their users, but I also fail to see what it could bring to them as a company??

They have now created a major PR problem for themselves, and what did they get in exchange?

(Ok, as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity. But still.)
10k£/month is unfortunately not that high considering London's cost of living and property prices, and when accounting for downtime in between contracts it's not that great.

> Others tell me they are simply increasing their daily rate to cover for IR35

"Inside IR35" contracts are bad for a variety of reasons, such as the extra control the client has over you as well as the requirement to use an umbrella company (technically it's not required - you can very well deduct & pay the relevant taxes on your side, but given the liability shift, clients are unlikely to agree).
