Perhaps I should have been more precise (since you ommited a key part of my sentence) in pointing out that any person on their own is probably wrong about a lot of things. Only by taking into consideration a large enough sample of opinions can you begin to formulate your own with sufficient confidence of it being correct. Outsorcing your opinions to an 'expert' is giving up critical thinking.

A team of 'fluffers', Whitechapel Station, London, November 1994
"A team of 'fluffers' working at Whitechapel Station on the District Line. Although London Transport had a tunnel-cleaning train, much of the work of removing the dust from worn rails, wheels, brakes, particles of clothing, skin and hair was still carried out by hand when this photograph was taken. The fluffers, mostly women, work during the small hours when no tube trains run."

I tried to look into that claim a little more and found a website claiming there was a single French princess who behaved this way on the theory that she was too important to have to waste her time visiting bathrooms, and that her unusual behavior outraged the palace servants (who had to clean it up - the princess wasn't exactly wrong about being important).

This seems more plausible than the presentation here.

> React never claimed performance, and the virtual DOM is quite wasteful. Any direct manipulation library will perform better.

React's performance (in large part because of it's virtual DOM) over Angular was a common benefit cited in it's rise to fame. Indeed no one ever claimed React was somehow faster than the document API (or even JQuery) and that isn't what I'm saying either. Whether or not you think the virtual DOM is wasteful in 2021 is a separate opinion and even Svelte devs admit the virtual DOM approach is usually fast enough.

fact is that if XD wasn't part of Adobe's ecosystem it would have never gained any traction. It became as popular as it its because its pushed down with the same subscription as Photoshop and the rest of the gang so it makes no sense for someone who has the suite to also pay for another product but it is a very badly made piece of software even though they started it from scratch and doesn't have all the baggage that applications like Photoshop have.

I do have XD installed just to view designs but I don't really design in it and what amazes me is how often it gets updated, almost weekly.

No, sorry. I'm not trying to pitch a unified theory of writing pedagogy that precludes clickbait blogging.

I'm trying to say that I think the actually most effective advice, on average, for an "intelligent and earnest person [who] is an avid writer and reader and student of the world" is to write and don't stop. All the caveats you might be tempted to add are already covered in the people I'm talking to, they happen naturally. On average.
Basically you can use CSS to manage their layout - dimensions, positioning, scaling, etc. Should work pretty well

If you want floating images (e.g. text on the left, images on the right), it may be a bit more difficult and not perfectly possible. This guide will help: https://www.pagedjs.org/page-floats/

One tricky part is if you want to have text within images and have them the same size as your main text (eg in MS Word where you can have shapes and text boxes). For that, you can probably get close enough with a simple image load, and more precise by using svg graphics, but it may result in a reasonable amount of complexity to make perfect (if at all).

For charts, use charts.js in my opinion.
Humans already drive distracted (phone calls, texting, eating, makeup), no automation required. If the automation improves the accident and death rate, it’s still a win.
Thanks for the "shoutout" @platek.

I'm the author of that piece @detaro.

For the context, I wrote that little "wrapper" to communicate with their v3 API.
Back then, after I got a new computer I tried to install their CLI but didn't succeed. So I looked for a real alternative wrote in Python as the management tool I was planning was written in Python (private source).

I tried travispy which was quite interesting to use but it failed to convince me as I was looking to use some of the unique features of the API v3 of Travis CI.
Therefore, I created PyTravisCI which exclusively supports their API v3. It got a complete rewrite last year to be more performant while trying to be "developer-friendly". As of today, it implements 90-95% of its endpoints and features.

I'm not sure if it is used by someone else, but if we choose to trust pepy.tech [1], it had over 38 000 total downloads since it exists. And those downloads are not from me as I manually upgrade my node (once) only after a new release of PyTravisCI into the PyPI. And that does not happen so often.

My goal was to write something for myself but in the hope to also help others. So any feedback or contribution is welcome!

I think in the first quarter, BioNTech/Pfizer delivered almost 2.5 to 3 times as many doses to the EU as AZ did. Temporarily not having AZ until it is clear how to proceed is bad but not a total disaster. Encountering problems with the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine would have been much, much worse. Moderna isn’t in widespread use here yet.
By figuring and trying out new ways of being instead of seeking to conform to archetypes.

By trying out new ways out of repeating situations and creating new behaviours instead of either repeating the same habits or trying to adopt someone else’s response to them.

At an individual’s scale, those would be large and have big impacts.

Much more so than the colour of my living room’s wall, my type of car or defining myself by wearing either shirts or T-shirts and trying to impose on everyone else what I consider to be professional or unprofessional.
I don't think this is true at all. I think Amazon has realized they can't make twitch profitable just from subs, and are heavily pushing ads in order to try to fundamentally change how they make money with it. I also think Amazon, the entire company, is making a big push towards ads. Amazon is still terrible with ads, but I think this is one of the overarching themes of how the company is shifting focus in the near future.

Never Ask Me, Why?
Yeah, I don't envy you. Finding loopholes is more fun than trying to account for everything upfront.
I've seen numbers from germany that suggest across all vaccines manufactured the risk is roughly 1/8500 (~0.00011) for severe adverse events, while Ioannidis somewhat recently published a systematic review finding the global IFR roughly 0.0014 for covid - so it would seem the vaccine risk is about an order of magnitude lower than covid, but I do think it's a tough and important question to consider because many people are at much higher risk for covid (which mean others are much lower) and there are a great deal of asymptomatic people that may already have better immunity than these vaccines can provide.

Unfortunately I'm not expecting much calm rational debate on the nuances of getting the vaccine. This whole pandemic has felt like an emotional rollercoast void of logic.

(and please don't take my vaccine numbers as an authoritative risk assessment - there's a lot that goes into assessing such a number and I don't want to sound like I'm confident those numbers are correct)

It's akin to the difference between any Linux and Windows. For most peopleb Windows works well enough and they do not understand or care to even try to understand why anyone would even want to use anything else. They see Linux as frankly inferior.

There is really no point in trying to sell any other point of view or philosophy or priorities to such people. They don't understand, and often think they do understand and judge you to be out of touch and irrational, or at least impractical.

Same exact thing with systemd. It was designed to solve a certain kind of problem, in way that is more or less functional enuogh, and more or less fine enough in a vacuum. But it's not in a vacuum. It's in a preexisting ecosystem, and essentially requires everything else to change to work with it to the exclusion of anything else. (this last is technically deniable, but not in reality. Saying "we don't prevent everyone from doing 2x all future maintenance work" does not meaningfully address the fact that no one will choose to do that. All package maintainers choose a paradigm to support, not both.)

Basically, the biggest problem with systemd is it's an inconsiderate dick.

But if you don't administer a wide variety of systems and a wide variety of software, and don't value that variety, and don't care about the future enough to let it affect your behavior today, then you don't even perceive that inconsideration, and so do not think that systemd, or it's architect, or it's lobbyists, are dicks.

At this point I don't know what SpaceX is doing with their starship other than wasting money on a pipe dream.

SpaceX won't make it to Mars anytime soon if ever with their current design. How are you going to refuel 4-6 times in LEO? There is currently no technology to achieve this nor has anything been attempted or tested and it will be many years if ever refueling in LEO will be possible.

It's just disappointing. I know the likelihood is seriously low, but I hope some sort of fix or preventative measure can be found, because the AZ vaccine has become such a major part of the world's vaccination drive (especially when the worlds' largest vaccine manufacturer is currently (to my belief) only manufacturing AZ). And the last thing anybody wants is vaccination falling back any further.
Yes, that would be an advanced feature and I think likely out of the scope for paged.js. That said the table of contents page is hyperlinked - you can jump to sections, and I put a return to table of contents in the footer to aide with navigation. Hopefully that helps?

Your local version of the CDC should have lots of numbers. I just had a quick look (at the Danish health department) and the numbers of reported side effects (all, not just adverse side effects) are approx. 1/36 in Pfizer and moderna and 1/7 AstraZeneca. That's.... quite the difference. Note this doesn't look at which group gets which vaccine etc. but only the reported numbers!

Right. It was so weird to see her get sick every time she started a bag of TPN. They tried different formulas, even exotic ones from overseas that were new to the market (and very costly).

My theory is that her body rejected nutrition in general and that the gastroparesis was just a symptom rather than a cause.
You are correct in that there are fundamental problems with a statement as simple as the one I made. Don't take it at face value though. If you ignore your surroundings and formulate an opinion that is obviously different, I'd argue your ability to recongnise scientific consensus is severely lacking - Distilling it into something like "Don't trust anyone other than the scientific consensus" might be better.

I don't understand this well enough to fully know how this vaccine works.

But HIV integrates into the human genome so you can never really get rid of it. So I'm not sure exactly how this treatment would play out.
There are a lot of places to rent out that are already outright owned, and there are a lot of places where buildings can be built to be rented out, thus increasing supply.

People getting a mortgage and renting out the mortgage adds systemic risk without increasing supply, it doesn't provide any service that isn't provided otherwise.
COBS is also nice over serial because the most likely corruption that can happen is a dropped byte, which COBS can usually detect.
Do we know what the UX goals are for the site or what requirements they had? It's really difficult to gauge these things if we don't even know what they're going for.

Personally, there are some things I have found difficult to do (getting a chat going with a customer service agent) and some things that are very easy (checkout process, making a return). It's no surprise to me that they would make it slightly more difficult to find a live person to chat with since they probably want me to exhaust the other automated methods of solving my problem before doing that. Is that bad UX? I don't think so.
Sooo... what's the number? :-)

I'd assume it would have failsafe upon failsafe. E.g. in your example it would pull over at the earliest safe location while waking up the driver because the remote backup was unavailable.
Since DNS (Domain Name System) only deals with the domain names themselves, any DNS resolver (communicated to via HTTP, TCP, UDP, QUIC or what have you) will only resolve a domain name => IP address. Adding a path in there makes no sense.
That’s aggravating. I do full stack dev and work at startups so that particular scenario hasn’t come up but I could see how that disconnect could create some tech debt. That said, I think it’s a planning process problem. You really should have someone on your project capable of making those changes. People really are the hardest problem.

> Few libraries hoping to achieve general usage will abuse operator overloading too badly, and if they do, potential users will resist adopting it widely.

Perhaps this is true for some language ecosystems and less true for others. But for the sake of argument, I’ll assume that this is generally true. Even in that case, if each library “abuse”s operator overloading in a new and interesting way, the problem still exists for the library ecosystem as a whole.

> I think what is more useful than even more language features to restrict the usage of these, is strong documentation and evangelism/marketing around the feature to help ensure it will be used appropriately.

I can’t imagine this scaling as well as building (or specifically choosing not to build) something into a language.
There are a lot of ways to provide rentals that don't contribute to systemic risk, such as adding housing supply and renting that out or renting out a property you already own.

In the aggregate, there are more renters that want to buy but can't than people that want to rent but have to buy instead. No problem is being solved, and risk is added.
Thanks - indeed there is likely a market for it. One of the issues is that to get a commercial app, you have to solve for most of the edge cases and make sure it has a good enough UI for the non sophisticated.

I was thinking about doing it, but it would be a lot of work to do right.

By right, I would want it to be the quality of sublime or emacs / vim :) :)
But much more speculative. Just because we can imagine something doesn't mean science can/will achieve it. Brain-to-computer communication seems much more straightforward to achieve from a technical perspective, and has enough potential to revolutionize aspects of our lives on it's own.
Nope you can make a simple pod definition and not worry about a deployment. For a local cluster you'll just have one node and everything is effectively a statefulset. IMHO it's easier to write k8s yaml, there's tons of tooling, clear schemas, etc. You could even script calling the API server directly.
The great thing about PDFs is that you can open huge documents and page through them quickly. I feel this is under-appreciated in today's world, where scrolling is being forced on us everywhere. Scrolling sucks for reading text. Every time you scroll, you have to pay attention to how much you scrolled, and then find your place in the text again.

As for paging speed, just try using GoodReader or PDF Expert on an iPad. I can flip through thousand-page manuals and datasheets as quickly as if it were a paper book. And a 12" iPad shows an entire A4 page without the need for zooming and panning.

In my experience, people who dislike reading PDFs have only tried doing so in Acrobat Reader (which is hot garbage, and slow), on a small screen that is wider than it is tall, zoomed in so that only half a page is being shown. That is a sub-par experience indeed.

One nice use case of COBS is to clearly delimit packets being sent over a serial stream. Framing packets with zero bytes is particularly convenient for small projects because it’s easy to implement and debug.
