What I hate about fork is that it fundamentally doesn't even make sense. You fork a process with a window, what happens to that window? Does it get duplicated? Do both control the same window? It has no sensible behavior in the general case without cloning the whole machine, and even then, your network isn't going to get forked. There are limited cases where it could make sense, but the fact that that's not true in general should make it fairly obvious that we need a different spawning primitive. It boggles my mind that people teach fork as if it could be the primitive.

When an employer dictates that a worker must work certain hours, it is evidence that they are an employee. But, the opposite is not true -- employers are not obligated to dictate the hours of their employees.

The fact that most employers do dictate hours is a function of those job expectations, not their legal employment classification.

It is pretty common for mid or senior level white-collar salaried jobs to have a decent amount of freedom in working hours within what is functionally reasonable for their role.
Mmmmmm, more processed food options, joy!
it's a good point, and one I broadly agree with. These products do exist, however, like seitan and tempeh. If you making something sufficiently delicious, however, it should be easier to sell than those (IMO).
You aren't paid in healthcare at an hourly job. There is an employer healthcare plan you can buy into if you want. If you have insurance through your parents, spouse, another job, you just don't opt in.

At lower paying hourly jobs typically the employer doesn't cover any of the cost. For many these are prohibitively expensive, even if you work full time. Typically for higher paid work, most salary positions, the employer covers most of the cost.
Good point, one I shall raise with Dave next open chat. Fact he hates easter eggs as he does any hidden code. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't tell him.
I used to have Priority Pass as a perk of a corporate card. I was unimpressed with the priority pass lounge in SJC. Filthy, bad food, mediocre service. Far worse than Centurion and Delta lounges.

Their lounges in other aiports seemed to be closed whenever I was in need of them.

Based on that, when we switched to a different corp card, I did not try to get a personal card w/Priority pass access (nor did I buy my own membership).
After 2 years or so of eating vegetarian I don't think that meat burgers are actually better. First of all, a burger is all about toppings and condiments. And vegetarian patties have come such a long way, texture and flavor wise, it blows my mind. Compared to the boring and ever the same taste of meat it doesn't even come close for me.
That's not what he said. Learn to read.
You can really only be doing one, but I track several and shift attention to one or another as needed, but I try to minimize context switches. They are expensive.

In practice, I track 3 or 4 long term projects, and I'm dealing with 2 or 3 short/medium term ones.

But there's always only one that's the most important at the time. I try to give each at least a day of full attention at a time, and there are some days that are just planning and checking what's going on on the ones I've been ignoring with little progress in a specific project.

The trick is learning to not stress out on what you're not doing. If you're going to be great at something, you need to accept that you'll suck at something else.

You don't need to do everything, prioritize, prioritize, prioritize! Understand what's really important to the company. Failing to do something inconsequential is fine, nobody cares.
If a more infectious variant surfaced, it might spread. But a lower absolute prevalence of flu (because of masks, social distancing, and lockdowns) means that low probability events - like a more virulent strain emerging - are less likely, and might not occur at all.

Contrariwise this (beside basic humanity) is why the current out of control situation in India or Brazil is everyone's problem. High absolute prevalence means events that are one in a billion chance get to happen. And spread.

Nothing is forcing Uber to fix employee hours.
This comment section is a pretty strong argument that we are living in a post-truth future.
There are always basic limits. For example you don't get all of your healthcare coverage or benefits on the first day of your job, and certain things like vacation time are accrued as you work. It's not a complex problem to solve.
I mean the issue there is compensation. You won't pay more than $X for that super short ride, but for the driver, they just went 5 minutes out to pick you up, and now only get paid for 5 minutes of driving. That ride costs $Y but you would complain about paying that...

Just can't seem to please every customer...
I see things like this that seem to me to imply that in order to deserve benefits, someone needs to work.

I think a more productive line of debate would be:

1. Do we, as a society, believe we should only care for those who can be productive?

2. Do we, as a society, value things other than productivity?

3. Do we, as a society, believe it is the place of a governing body to ensure a standard quality of life (whatever that standard may be)?

Putting barriers around who deserves what doesn't really serve to do much other than exclude people who don't know how to work the system, or those who are unable to work the system.
As the top level stated, "fuck around and find out."
I think uber has rules about declining rides that may not be as profitable despite being in close vicinity.
It’s more complicated than what you’re saying. The health care industry in the US is almost 15% of the GDP and employs about 10% of the workers. It is difficult to quickly fix this system without catastrophic economic consequences. Unfortunately, our political leaders are unable or unwilling to plan more than 2-4 years out.

To fix this system we would need a 10-15 year transition period, and it’s virtually impossible to make that happen. No single President could oversee the process from beginning to end, and Congress could change party control 6-8 times.

The reason we haven’t fixed this problem isn’t because we love corporations, but because no single political party is willing to commit suicide.

The Democrats talk a big game, but it’s pretty much all talk. Bernie Sanders home state of Vermont tried to implement a single payer system, and failed spectacularly. Vermont is a tiny state. Imagine the disaster it will be trying to pull the rug out from under the healthcare economy for the entire United States.

If you are an employee, the employer has the right to dictate your schedule and put significant more restrictions on how and when you work, which they do because it's more economically efficient for them to do so (think: time and transition costs). When your a contractor, not so much.

Yeah, any of those would be acceptable. What would be unacceptable is when somebody has none of them.
I can't speak for everywhere, but I know that from what I'm told here (was actually talking about the lack of flu with some nurses who worked in local clinics and hospitals in the area), those who had covid-like symptoms were usually given the covid test no matter what. But, if flu would have normally been suspected and there wasn't a strong indication it was covid (loss of smell/taste, known exposure to a covid-positive person, etc.), they usually also got a flu test just in case.

Sometimes I wonder if this mechanism (another post referred to "amygdala hijack") makes concepts like personal gender pronouns and similar "correct and incorrect speech" concepts so delicate.

get me right, language is deliberately abused to exercise power, to belittle others, by deliberately misgendering them or deliberately not using their academic title, etc.

However if I want to have a conversation about something of importance and my conversation participant is not there yet, should I not ignore misgendering or omission of academic titles or similar heckling from their side, simply to get into a conversation about the topic proper, and then, should the conversation participant surprisingly evolve into a conversation partner, then ask about pronouns, or academic title, or whichever language convention I prefer?

Why do I say this? If the other participant does not intend to evolve into a conversation partner, they will for lack of a better term jack off on heckling on the wrong pronoun or title or whatever it is that I may be asking for. I will never get to the core of what I want to discuss with that participant.

> people want to be told what to think, not how to think, as it's much easier that way.

Or people have forgotten how to have a proper conversation, an engaged dialogue about topics they disagree on, at least in parts.

I have tried all the easily available vegan cheeses and have found them tolerable at best, except for one occasion where a food truck served a plant-based burger with smoked vegan cheese. I don’t know which type of vegan cheese it started as or how they smoked it, but they did achieve something that was more than tolerable. Just.

Until the tech improves I will prefer to stick to burger toppings like sliced tomato, avocado and onion. Much, much better. And for pizzas, it’s better just to go without.
>That said, how do you handle the FB's of the world or other bad actors who will (ab)use private API's if they no longer have to follow Apple's rules?

how does Google or Windows handle it? This idea isn't novel, and there are billions already spent on antivirus initiatives, regardless of how open or closed the platform is.

I wouldn't be surprised if people blamed Google for a variety of things they downloaded on Chrome or an android device, but I haven't heard much traction being gained on how responsible google is for what users download from the internet.
The Impossible Burger has about 12% fat which is quite lean. As far as I understand, the meat in most burgers is around 20% fat. Adding things like breadcrumbs, eggs or onions to the patties will of course change the amount.
Airline loyalty value depends heavily on how frequently you can travel on one carrier and how much you value things like upgrades.

Hotel loyalty is a whole different ballgame because the margins that hotels pay to the booking sites are much higher (20-30%). For a long time hotels were contractually obligated to give the aggregators their lowest publicly available price ("most favored nation" - some recent EU regulation may have cut down on this, not sure what the current status is). One way of getting around that is direct marketing, so hotels are highly incented to get you to sign up for a loyalty program, give you 10% off, and keep the other 10% that would otherwise go to Booking/Expedia.
Which vegan cheeses have higher protein? In my experience they're all lower. Philadelphia lightest has 11% protein, 2.5% fat, 4.9% carbs. Violife slices are 0% protein, 23% fat (20% saturated) and 20% carbs. Pure trash.
My personal example was a $15 restaurant where I tried out the impossible burger. Maybe it wasn't an actual 'impossible' burger or some early version.
Yes, you should. Everyone should get a home, medical benefits, education, all of it. Period. If you work on top of that, great. If not, OK.

Why wouldn't her employer let her opt out of insurance?

Are you comparing full-time hourly employees to part-time contracting?

> They also give her

When you say it like that, you are describing an employee not an independent contractor.

But your layer comment, about setting her own rates, makes me think that she is working as an actual freelancer, not as a gig employee.
Joh man. This makes flight hacks quite dangerous.
E.g. relying on a connection flight with a different airline. I lost a flight leg and the next option offered to me was 2 weeks later!

I've tried building the exact same app using Hasura and Postgraphile after having built another app in Postgraphile:

- Postgraphile has better Relay support, stuff like returning added edges, returning deleted nodes, good global ID support.
- Hasura didn't support something like adding a currentUser field when using the Relay support. The pagination in the non-Relay mode was very basic and didn't comply with the Relay pagination spec.
- Comparatively even when not using Postgraphile's Relay support it still supports both the Relay pagination API and the easy "nodes" pagination API.
- With Hasura I initially liked the UI for management but found it tedious as I continued working.
- I came across some bugs with Hasura's pagination API's, which was the final thing that made me decide to switch to Postgraphile.
I was just commenting to a co-worker my entire family hasn't been sick since the pandemic started. That is very unusual for a family with young children.

No flu, no stomach viruses, absolutely nothing for more than a year now. Thankfully no covid-19 either.
Prehistoric humans made cheese (and beer). This helped society to grow. To call these things 'processed' when they have been made by humans using simple things (and have been for ages) is disingenuous at best and ideologically driven at worst.

As an engineer looking in from the outside of academia, all of the discussion I see pop up around Category Theory seems hauntingly similar to ideas discussed when producing SQL schemas in well-normalized databases.

Is 3NF/BCNF something that can be described in terms of Category Theory?

I always felt like there was some super deep & fundamental link between these mathematical concepts and relational modeling ideas. Reading "Out of the Tar Pit" was a big trigger for me on connecting dots between imperative/functional/relational programming as well as implications that a good combination of these things would have positive impact on domain modeling.
> Let's assume hospitals are severely overloaded, and are simply unable to treat COVID patients. The pedantic meaning of what I said will certainly be true: non-covid excess deaths will be less.

Even the pedantic interpretation does not necessarily hold. Though healthcare resources for life-threatening conditions are not strictly zero-sum, many of them would effectively be once covid overwhelms existing ICU and ED capacity. There are plenty of examples of personnel being pulled from e.g. cancer care or cardiology teams to help in covid wards. This directly translates to increased wait times for patients in those categories, much like would happen if people were putting off getting checked out themselves.

Moveover, hospitals and healthcare systems to not just "bounce back" after being severely overloaded. Staffing is already strained, and unless you ban clinicians from taking leave you would see cascading reductions in capacity after a couple months of being overloaded. This is to say nothing of the equipment shortages we had in the early days of the pandemic. Ultimately, patients who would require care for non-covid reasons would still suffer because of a massive backlog. Determining whether this backlog would be larger or more/less harmful when amortized compared to what we have now requires health economics analysis that I am certainly not qualified to perform.

> Frankly, I suspect that problem is made worse by a long, dragged out, pandemic. People can often handle a short period of extreme stress better than they can handle a much longer period of high stress.

This feels right to me too, though I've not the literature to verify it. However, it's an equally valid argument for strict short-term lockdowns a la New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Taiwan, etc. That is to say, it does not follow that not mitigating is the only reasonable strategy to prevent a dragged out pandemic.

A better (if grim) post-hoc analysis of Canada would be to compare the Atlantic provinces (less densely populated, strictly enforced interventions), the other smaller provinces (less densely populated, few interventions until recently) and the large provinces (densely populated, moderate but very poorly enforced interventions). My guess is that all three approaches will not be found to be equally effective.

If that is the case, expect to see it here in the antipodes first. In NZ we had a almost cold and flu free season last winter, just six confirmed cases in a country of 5 million [1], and are heading into winter now with looser border restrictions (relatively looser, Australians can now enter without being put into a managed isolation facility for two weeks).

As you mention, curl into sh is just as safe as any other software installation mechanism, unless you’re the sort of person who reads configure scripts and makefiles and the various scripts inside Debian packages and RPMs.

Even something like nix runs all sorts of arbitrary side effects when installing packages: the main benefit isn’t preventing the side-effects but the various sandboxing tricks it uses.
What factors would cause skipping a season to result in more flu the following season?
> On Windows, using the equivalent of LD_PRELOAD makes all the antiviruses go crazy.

There is no such thing on modern-day Windows.

There used to be AppInit DLLs, but that 'feature' was broken to a degree that no legitimate application would have used it anyways and it likely wasn't a malware author's first choice either.

Further, by the time you place a backdoor such as this, you would have neutralized any antivirus software. This used to be done by 'patching' them and turning their update process into something that did essentially nothing after any download. No idea what the state of the art is here for either.

This is a backdoor after all, not a vector. As a backdoor you mostly care about humans noticing you messed with their system. You have defeated and subverted the machine and now need to keep the meat ignorant. So you want to avoid having random suspiciously named files lying around or weird extraneous processes showing up. Even the most technologically illiterate users know to watch for weird processes.

It's funny because this is probably a really non-standard sentiment but I really wish that they would make an electron app out of this. Installing it is reasonably easy but definitely beyond a lot of people who could get value from it.
Exactly.

On the topic of grocery store real estate. It blows my mind how much space meat products take up. Huge shelves of beef, pork, chicken in all forms and stages of processing. It's crazy to me the degree of reliance and attachment to animal products we've been coerced into.
I suspect a significant reduction of flu vectors is simply closed schools.
Non virologist naive question, if we apply all these measures targeting SARS-COV2 and it also creates a massive negative pressure on flu viruses, is there a risk that this applies an adaptive pressure to select for a future uber infectious new flu strain?
I disagree. The better framing is around choice.

In some countries these decisions are made for you and funded through taxes and fees. Other nations require you to plan your own way. The USA leans toward the individual over the state.

Certain things like healthcare should be revamped to remove the ties to employers but it's important to keep the prevailing culture in mind. People overwhelmingly still want the ability to choose here - what they lack are the options to choose from.
