Both my wife and I got the J&J shot before it was cancelled. We both had a period about 12 hours afterwards where we felt like we had a mild flu for about another 12 hours, then it was over and we’ve felt fine. Very happy with this decision.
I stopped reading when the author said "there is no such thing as ergonomics". I feel like I've seen plenty of research otherwise. It's probably (definitely) overplayed to make sales, but there's no need to deny it's existence
Totally agree - sometimes I solve small problems in C rather than a scripting language. It feels like freedom and the result is so damn fast.
I suppose we'll see a fork this weekend if they don't come to their senses, because it very much appears like there was no discussion about relicensing, nor is there a CLA

You can't really just 'slap a new license on it' AFAIUI. What you can do is fork and license any new derivative work under a new license (which is one-way compatible with the old one). Effectively that means that the fork can only be used under the new license.
Same question for same situation
I don't. I drive it until it beeps at me that it's low on fuel (typically at the 900 km mark, after which I still have 100 km reserve). Then I fill up at the next service station I happen to come across and pump $50 of fuel into the tank in 2-3 minutes. I never seek out a service station. For this reason, ICE cars effectively have infinite range.

At 1200 miles a year, you should possibly question whether you need a car at all, tbh. Renting when you need one might work out cheaper.
You only have a problem if you modify anything in the source code of minio that you host.

It's only a few (4?) species of mosquito that carry malaria, out of hundreds of species in total.
If my layman's reading of the affero license is accurate (ha!), I think it only affects you if you run minio with (your) custom modifications, in which case you would have to make the source of your custom minio fork available. It shouldn't affect the source of other services on your system.
The dataset feels very poor, it's just one chair, a well marketed one.

There are plenty of good ones out there. If possible, try the chairs out first to see what you feel comfortable in. I was initially going down the Herman Miller route but ended up feeling much more comfortable with a Humanscale Diffrient World chair. It has a mesh, I don't feel sore sitting in it for extended periods (yes I ought to move about, I'm an idiot) and it's cool in summers.

You're absolutely right. The author should tell that to my carpal tunnel.
Domestically that's the case but if you have(had) to travel abroad often for work or family reasons that won't be the case. I regularly(used to) visit and have family ties to a country that allows vaccine records in lieu of negative tests for entry. I'd say that's reasonable.

"We could have avoided the kind of seasonal illness we've had since forever if we'd just had the courage and elevated morality needed to simply implement communism!" Probably written by someone in their 20s or 30s to whom the virus poses no significant threat, a dutiful mask-wearer and reader of CNN, the BBC, The Guardian, the New York Times, and Washington Post. I'm going to upvote it not because I agree with it at all, but because it illustrates so clearly exactly what mentality the government wishes everyone had: afraid, guilty, having confused obedience and compliance for morality, considering it their duty to be afraid when the propaganda outfits beat the panic drum. They're afraid of a virus that definitely won't kill them while simultaneously advocating the ideas that previously killed millions in China, Russia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.

A diesel mk4 VW Jetta/Golf easily gets 1000 km (620 miles) on the highway. Those cars were extremely common in NA at one point.
I can only speak for myself but this is my anec-data. I was having recurrent pain in the muscles near the shoulder blades, got rid of my regular 150 $ office chair and got a Herman Miller Aeron. The pain is gone. Having the ability to configure with great precision the chair so I can sit in a proper position was critical for me.

VW did that for a while; the eGolf. The (rather similar-looking, in fairness) id.3 that replaced it seems to be doing a lot better.

And even in that case, you only need to share your modifications of minio, not anything about the rest of your system. Doesn't seem too much of a problem, to begin with.
Polling shows that pausing the J&J vaccine did not make people more hesitant to get vaccinated. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/04/poll-shows-jj-pause-... It might have made the locations and times less convenient, or people might be waiting for a one-shot vaccine.
> forking minio and then going closed source with their modifications?

Which is somewhat bizarre given that aims to MinIO emulate a closed-source system. Open source businesses usually use AGPL or similar to prevent "Big Cloud" from stealing their business, this is a very strange inverted approach and I can't figure out why.

> Their content is so profitable that the people in charge don't really give a fuck.

This is usually a general technology smell. Consistent, profitable revenue is the technological equivalent of the resource curse [0].

I haven't figured out if it's because people never get fired (thus new ideas are extremely slow to penetrate and propagate) or because management can afford to be extremely conservative (no pressure, resistance to change).

Put the most charitably, it's because there's no need to be more efficient, and stability & consistency is more valuable than improvement.

The AGPLv3 and Apache 2 licenses are compatible. The maintainers are welcome to relicense their own contributions under the AGPLv3 and distribute the whole subject to that license (and the Apache 2 license), but that doesn't magically make contributed source AGPL. Removing the Apache license is suspicious because there are a heap of commits that are still covered by this license and without it the core MinIO devs have no right to use it. This is a full on cluster.
Something I haven't seen yet: good control over the emails I receive. It is 14:45 local time, and I have 86 emails in my bug tracker folder. Also in this area is approaching the emails the issue tracker sends from the perspective of "how would I make a rule for emails like this?".

A good scripting/automation api would be nice. Being able to make my editor perform certain issue updates makes my life easier.

Could someone help me understand cost metrics behind building/selling a quality office chair? There's no high-tech parts, are there manufacturers in the U.S.?

Imagine a world where we can't all go try a chair on. A heavy, long-term purchase with relative high price tag, lots of room for "well that seems right,"-ism from a consumer.

Maybe chairs are scams!

Adenovirus-based vaccines have existed a while, so it is not as new as mRNA vaccines are. That is my reason.

Why the downvotes? it is a legit answer to the OP's question
Just read the article and came to say the same thing. The researchers' point was that the restrictions on indoor capacity are not helping, and should be done away with. You're no safer at 60 feet, because your safety depends a lot more on other variables besides distance. The headline could just as well have stated: "you're just as safe at 6 feet as you would be at 60 feet".
You misunderstand my definition of fundamentals. I'm talking things like filesystems, networking, protocols, hardware, etc. You can spend an eternity learning all the different Apps on Android or iOS.

Not once will you figure out how to develop one without access to a traditional Desktop system, and an understanding of the fundamental underpinnings thereof. That's changing a bit now with some efforts in the FLOSS space, but it is roughly true today.

While there may be more developers now, I do not see a significant decrease in overall tech illiteracy.

Tax attorney here, so the hammer/nail analogy applies.

There are (almost certainly) tax implications, seek advice come tax day. Don't just go the TurboTax route. You'll either be leaving money on the table or setting yourself up for a costly problem a few years down the road.
Spoken like someone who doesn't own an Aeron. Best chairs ever and a tax write-off in any case.
Boober, wow ::eyeroll:: To be clear, Uber executives, venture capitalists and its board of directors lived with Travis for many years and didn't see any issues, didn't censure him. He was not removed for his behavior, i.e. the acts themselves, he was removed because the company started to get bad press -- very little of which was ever verified or even investigated.
Scale down your scope and it might be doable.

One of my pandemic projects was a Pi4 with HQ camera to detect/ID helicopters flying by my building, and also create sunrise/sunset videos and post them to twitter (https://twitter.com/dcskycam).

I set up the camera and used an OOB object detection model which works well enough. Also trained custom classifiers for helicopters after I had enough training data (work in progress for some aircraft types).

Also consider that some of the things you mention, a camera is not the best sensor for the task.

GPLv3 is compatible with Apache 2.0. This copyright statement should have addendum which indicates that portions of the code (written by contributors) are under the Apache 2.0 license. This could be addressed.

There's no pulling the rug under people here: it's not like the previous releases, under the Apache license, are rescinded. Someone can still fork the project and keep it under the Apache license.

If they are using a proprietary license for their commercial offering, they will probably require future community contributions to be donated under the Apache 2.0 license.
At least in engineering that doesn't comport with my experience at all. I knew maybe a couple of people who left the company over 4 years. If anything people seem to stay much longer at Google.
I think the most likely outcome is that it will become like the flu: not that deadly in Western society, but mutating too rapidly for protection to last long, and still killing many elderly and people with chronic health conditions each year (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza, Influenza kills over half a million people each year)

It's bizarrely hard to find good explanations of this! The National Malaria Eradication Program, between 1947 and 1951, cut down on malaria transmission enough that the parasite was driven locally extinct. They drained wetlands where mosquitoes bred, sprayed house interiors and mosquito-heavy areas with DDT on a very large scale, and generally engineered a very specific ecological disaster, depriving the parasite of the human hosts needed for part of their reproductive lifecycle. Without enough infected humans, the parasites died out.

Crucially, they didn't need to get rid of all the mosquitoes to do this: they just needed to drive mosquito-to-human transmission low enough for long enough.

Doesn't a drop in vaccine appointments make sense given the (presumably) reduced supply of total available vaccines when J&J was paused?
It was 6 cases when the pause was announced, but it's up to 15 cases (plus one that J&J went back and found in the phase III data) now that we've had an extra week for cases to develop and reports to come in. I expect that cases will continue to happen, but hopefully patients and doctors will be more prepared to deal with it.

Batteries are quite likely to continue to decrease.[1] Most industrial processes follow a learning curve inverse to the cumulative units produced. And it makes sense: each efficiency improvement has a fixed cost, and only gets made if enough units get shipped.

Estimates I have seen are that LI is on a 13% annual decrease, which means that your $16k pack will be $4.5k by 2030.

By then, I would bet that the Honda Civic EV is cheaper than the Honda Civic ICE. In addition to the batter, there are fewer moving parts and simpler assembly, which means less labor; this type of manufacturing has barely started to scale up. Not guaranteed, but my estimates might turn out to be conservative.

And as for rare earths: as demand increases, it becomes increasingly profitable to extract marginal deposits. That's what fracking is, after all.

i appreciate a good rant at least occasionally -- preferably daily.

all the javascript/ecmascript/react/vue/etc. i've been learning lately makes me want a new rant for each day of the week.

prob not.

Imagine:

Python Is an Imperfect Programming Language

i would just prefer to see these types of articles about 10 years earlier in the hype cycle.

the 'self' keyword has always bothered me to no end -- much moreso than 'this' (java) -- prob because you have to pass 'self' in so many constructors -- it's just everywhere.

i still hold out hope that javascript is going to be replaced.

followed by its node/deno equivalent.

i also wonder if the creators of various tech would be more forgiving than many commenters.

The person who originally said 'Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.' is Jamie Zawinski.

Yes, the batteries are currently still very expensive. You're right that engine-wise, they're considerably simpler.
I'm struck by the profundity of this loss. It's almost as bad as if something like archive.org were to just disappear. SaaS is so ephemeral. One day, you have access to a version of Google that works absurdly well. The next, it's gone forever.

I used to use Google so much that it felt like a border collie in those dog competitions. I knew how it behaved, I had a bank of commands/searches that I had half-memorized and which I could use to restore knowledge that had been evicted from my cache. It repeatedly surprised and delighted me with how smart and loyal it was. Like a good dog.

And then that dog got brain cancer. It doesn't know any commands anymore. All it can do is vomit up clickbait-y news stories from the last 4 years. And I'll never get to interact with the old one ever again. You can't archive.org a SaaS application.
Not targeting you on this, just an observation: we should be careful with the terms we use. I don't think "skeptic" or "skepticism" applies to anti-vaxxers.

For years, I had a cheap office max desk chair, thenone day I splurged on Areon chair.

With the office max chair, I squirmed and moved all day long, uncomfortable after 20 min. I had this chair for 6 years.

With the Aeron, I could blissfully work, and not move muscle for 4 hours or more. I had this chair for a few years.

After a few years with the Aeron, I had some awful back problems. I attribute this to my body relaxing so much in a semi upright position that the muscles were not activated enough to support the spine and good posture. Worse, when I got up, the muscles were not activated, unless I specifically did movements to wake up the correct chains.

Then I got a new job which had cheap chairs and a sit/standing desk and was here for 6 years.

Many years later, a combo therapies, balance boards, and cheap office chairs that force me to squirm, move and get up, seem to have solved the issue.

I'll never get a chair that is "too" comfortable again for work as it really messed up my back.
Also, I know the beauty and design and clout are somewhat valuable but... beauty is an open-source, customizable-to-your-body-via-3d-phone-scan, (3d-printed-to-order?) chair.

IANAL also, but since Apache is considered compatible with GPL3 and AGPL3, I think they have the ability to, since they can simply relicense their parts of it, and the resulting work is de facto AGPL3 taken as a whole. They might have to drop a 'portions are licensed under the Apache...' blurb somewhere, but the overall idea should be OK.

Vaccines take multiple years to develop normally. How much faster can you get for vaccine development? I certainly did not expect there to be more than one, or any, good options for vaccination by the beginning of this year.

> Malaria used to be common in the US until the 1950s or so.

I had no idea of that, as I suspect many given the time past if you wasn't around then. Did a little digging and nicely covered here: https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/history/index.html

Which makes me wonder - what the cost of malaria drugs are and how much would it cost to eradicate it. Equally have the true environmental and ecological aspects of eradication methods been analysed. I wasn't aware that mosquito's were pollinators until a while back, not that anything usurps Bee's, but many insects are pollinators and in some area's they may even be crucial as a species.

After all the 1950's approach was basic killing of the mosquito's and whilst that may of been a solution for one area like the US, I'm not sure that approach would be taken as much today and for Africa, certainly as I mentioned, the whole pollinator aspect of mosquito's may make for a more fragile ecosystem that removal of a species would be more impaction than the gains.

I always found it fascinating that malaria has been around so long that a genetic mutation evolved in some that makes them immune to it.
