> To be fair, I thought the dev’s response was adequate here

No it wasn't. It was bad.

Granted, the original bug report could have been a bit clearer, but the reporter was more than happy to help out and promptly responded to the questions and even some checking of the RGB of the colour in question, and then offered to open up a new related issue. But the dev in this case took the worse interpretation of the reporter's intent and claimed they were rude, or disrespectful or whatever, and took their report as an attack on their choice of default palette. I can imagine that the reporter was surprised and puzzled to be called "entitled" here.
> I don't know how people compare two isolated islands that are multi hour flights to any other nation to the USA with a straight face. Think of the backlash at even proposing locking the Mexico border.

Very little of our COVID infections have been linked to either of the geographic borders in this country. While I understand there are greater risks with those borders, it doesn't make the situation incomparable.

> Also, Australia and New Zealand just broke their travel bubble, I don't know if that still constitutes as a "short lockdown" if you haven't been allowed to leave your country the entire time.

Bars and restaurants and sports have been available the whole time. Even if there wasn't a travel ban from the country, where would people even go? Most other countries aren't allowing visitors.
> They are looking for a service, not a product

That's an unfortunate choice of words. I'm definitely looking for a product, not a service (which is why I bought my MacBook instead of leasing it), but everything I need the machine for overlaps with what Apple envisions me doing with the machine.

I don't want my machine to be amateur-repairman friendly and my OS to be infinitely customizable and tinkerable, because we already have that, it's called Linux on a ThinkPad and to me that's the antithesis of a Mac and I consciously decided not to use that kind of setup.

(I'm not strongly for or anti right-to-repair, but I tend to be against tight regulation when avoidable.)
> known-quantity HTML where regex will work just fine (say, extract all href out of all a elements),

Regex doesn’t work fine even on that. You still need to tell apart actual tags from contents of attributes, comments, uninterpreted contents of <script>, and so on. A regex alone doesn’t give you the ability to do that. If you want to parse HTML, you need a parser. Simple as that.
Traffic deaths were up very slightly in 2021. Not enough to move the needle on all-cause mortality.
The famous 1636/1637 tulip mania (such as it was) lasted just a few months over the winter, collapsing in February. There was no time to grow anything in that period.
whether or not you get your news from a site is distinct from whether or not that's the reason it exists. It would be a pretty tenuous stretch to say Reddit is a site that exists to give people news, even if many people do get their news there.

The same applies to Twitter. It does not in any way exist to be a source of news, but many people do get their news from there, for better or worse.

But they're both just social media sites. Anyone anywhere can post whatever they want and mostly get away with it on them. There is no vetting except in certain extreme circumstances.
Looks nice I think :-)

Ah interesting, thank you!
Important to keep in mind about the YLL numbers I cited: most of the YLL comes from younger people who died early, even though most of the deaths are among people 70+.

So if you are going by this "differential quality of different years" argument, you have to account for the fact that most of these years actually aren't for really old people.
> BTW, this is also why the covid exposure notification apps failed miserably. They should have always been opt-out.

Absolutely not. Using defaults because you know most people wont' change them to achieve a specific outcome that you, the default setter want, is exactly the same evil. Just because you're doing it for "good" doesn't justify it.
> I don't feel like these subtleties translate to MIDI

But wouldn't they be reproduced when replaying the MIDI data physically on a piano?

Ultimately isn't how you hit the key and bounce/stay still just initial velocity and then timing of letting go? Perhaps the velocity of letting go would have to be added as well, but I'm not actually sure if that's really acoustically meaningful.

I guess I don't see why all the reverb and ultimate sound complexity wouldn't be recreated in playback? Of course, this requires actual physical playback on a similar enough model of piano, or else a synthesizer that is sufficiently accurate.

It's very unlikely that route C will salvage your opinion of the game. This is why I'm bitter about noisily-held opinions of this game: others say they aren't enjoying the game and it really isn't that good? You just haven't given it a chance! Play through route C and all will be redeemed!

It won't.

You even saw it up above with that one person who said that, even though I had played through all routes and didn't enjoy it, must have "written it off and not given it a chance as you played it". As though I don't care for my time.
We should sabotage the chinese by giving them the plans for the F-35
Ventilators weren't as needed as originally thought. USA even killed a lot of patients by being over eager putting them into ventilators. If you put a healthy person in a ventilator there are a few percent chance of giving them pneumonia which typically kills them. When you blast air into their lungs it is really easy to accidentally blast bacteria all over them as well.

The articles about "we now know better how to treat patients" was mostly this, don't put them on ventilators unless it gets super critical, most patients got better without one. Also I haven't seen data on this but I strongly suspect the main reason USA lost so many young people to covid compared to other countries is that USA is way more eager to put people on treatment like ventilators, basically blasting bacteria into the lungs of young otherwise mostly healthy people killing them. Those young lives would have been saved if they weren't diagnosed in the first place.
Having plans versus actually manufacturing something is a big step. There’s a lot of knowledge needed that’s not in plans.
When I set out to build a new realtime chat app, I explored various options and landed on wamp/crossbar.io as a potential choice. This was a few years ago but at the time it seemed promising, reasonably well-documented, and had both python and js clients.

One problem was whether it would support horizontal scaling if you needed to expand beyond a single node, and at the time they were "working" on a global/cross router but it wasn't ready. It's a hard problem to solve and one that may not be required for many use cases.
I'm not sure if they delivered it but I ended up going with mqtt instead.

To piggyback on another commenter, their javascript library did feel a bit bloated/dated, but I also got the impression a few of the people were juggling a lot of related projects and maybe there wasn't enough of a community. Haven't checked back recently.

In any case, the project is still impressive, has some dedicated people behind it, and could be a great solution to add websockets to a project.

> And some questioners ... really seem to dislike if my first impulse is to ask "Why do you want to do that?"

An interview works both ways. If you can suss out the interviewer's nature and help you determine it's not a place you'd want to work, then trust that impulse.
It's not just about the energy per delivery. It's more about the enormous extra amount of stuff we are buying since online shopping and online advertising became a thing.

Oh neat, the wu mao is actually confronting me. Was your blatant attempt at misdirection worth the fifty cents?
The vendor asks for your information before selling you the part. There's two different regulations when it comes to this kind of stuff. ITAR is for pretty much anything defense related. It's not easy buying something ITAR as a regular person as most companies would probably just refuse to sell it to you unless you worked for a company doing defense work. People have gotten caught in the past by buying things in the name of their employer (or a fake shell company) and then selling it to places like China. EAR is easier to get a hold of as these parts are considered commercial dual-use technology. For example, a new microprocessor has a temperature range that exceeds the typical milspec range (-55-125C) so it's great for high temperature environments like downhole drilling equipment where it can get really hot but this chip would also work well inside the engine of an F-35. The govt has a list of specifications that if your commercial product meets them, it's classified as EAR. EAR is much more lax than ITAR as the govt doesn't want to hamper the commercial sector simply because a technology is new and better but the sames rules apply as to where these products can be exported to.

> without prospective validation, statistical models are fiction.

I wouldn't be completely dismissive. The first attempts at using statistical data to drive medical practice were during the Napoleonic wars, and dramatically improved medicine. I would expect the statistical methods used were pretty crude, as it was a very young discipline.
I'm not voting on it either way, so I can't say, but I personally find it off topic. TFA is a technical article; there are plenty of articles that discuss right-to-repair etc.

Edited to add: the author doesn't seem to themselves be heartbroken. This level of detail suggests enthusiasm.
1) The ethicality of something is not sourced from nature. If this would be the case, then raping would be completely okay as animals doing something like that too, right? It's more coming from empathy, like we don't let people beating or killing each others as you don't want that happened to you as well.

2) In reality this is more like a demand issue. I eat meat because I like it even if I see it as somewhat unethical. Your personal decision does not really count, but the society's overall understanding of the issue. It's like your vote vs election results, your vote counts, but you are not gonna change the world single-handedly.

Personally I think the real solution will be growing meat artificially, only muscles without the rest of the animal.
“> As I’ve stated multiple times, I take no issue with you disagreeing with a specific set of policies pushed by DEI initiatives, but that is different from denying the existence of racial discrimination against BIPOC.

You are arguing that somehow implicit racism is stronger than explicit racism the social justice DEI solution furthers.”

An honest rewriting of my quoted text using your terminology would be something more like this:
“It would be reasonable to say that the explicitly racist policies advocated by DEI as a remedy are not a proper solution to the problem, but that is different than claiming that implicit racism doesn’t exist”

And yet you’re here claiming that I argue the opposite. At this point you are just arguing in bad faith.

To restate, As clearly as is possible. If you want to assert “while structural racism exists, the policies prescriptions advanced by overzealous and self aggrandizing DEI groups cross the line” I’m happy to cede the debate.

> But DEI does not apply positively to black viewpoint opponents of social justice such as libertarians and conservatives. They are by social justice seen as not exhibiting an "authentic black lived experience". This activism is a terrible denial of individuality based upon race.

You can easily accept that they have a viewpoint while also noting that the vast majority of black people don't identify as libertarian nor as conservatives. Why do you think that a minority should be able to invalidate the majority’s opinion? Because it agrees with your viewpoint?

> The median pre-tax median inheritance is according to Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) $69,000 [1] (the average was $707,291, indicating a small percentage get a much higher inheritance). So 50% of people that inherit get $69k or less, which is not amount that sets you up to live off that asset.

The median inheritor doesn’t become wealthy through inheritance, sure, but they also don’t become wealthy through work & education either. Wealth is a heavily skewed distribution, so it makes little sense to talk about the median when 10% of the country owns something like 3/4th of the wealth. Assuming we are talking about someone who receives a non trivial amount of wealth through inheritance (ie enough for them to be actually wealthy, not 67k) then it is easy to maintain that wealth without work.

The first useful application/database I ever wrote was in Hypercard. I loved that app. 33 years later I still work in IT.
It is a real problem.

I've never asked a question on Stack Overflow, but many, many times I have entered a question into a search engine, received a Stack Overflow link with my question at the top, and been greeted with several screens full of text none of which is an attempt to answer the question.

In other contexts Stack Overflow's conventions are set up on the understanding that they're trying to produce a curated database of questions with their answers, rather than acting as a technical support forum for individuals. It's a real shame that culture doesn't extend to dealing with this case properly.

(The most common case is where the question is something like "does A provide a function for doing B?" and the correct answer is simply "No".)
Interesting. So scratch the bit about cars.

Doesn't honestly surprise me that much , I was driving up i95 in late March and people were pulling some really crazy shit in the early pandemic. I also saw a few (looked deadly to me) wrecks on the highway.
I think it's because the Google Play Store allows the behavior that Apple is banning, so why bother?

I don't think users would shy away from mainstream apps like Facebook if they moved to another app store platform.
> How is (spoilers follow) the choice of deleting your save file to help another player through the credits bullet hell the same choice that the main characters go through?

There are many instances of 2B and 9S "deleting their save file" to help others. For example during the intro sequence both 2B and 9S nuke each other to destroy the giant factory robots. I believe 9S is the one that didn't get backed up before that, so he essentially deleted his "save file" to help save humanity.

And just like the main characters it isn't like "death". You can still play again. But you've lost a set of "memories" that you can never get back. Just like 9S will never get back those memories and experiences he lost from the beginning of Automata.
Yikes. What's problematic is equating China to Nazi Germany. If you're talking about military aggression and lack of a moral compass, look no further than the US, which has hundreds of military bases all around the world spreading "freedom."

One medical scientist I know has been banging on for over 25 years that the liver always plays a role in headaches & migraines.

This also helps explain why hormones, especially oestrogen, can be a problem for migraine sufferers, as it's the liver-gut-gallbladder axis that detoxifies hormones from the body.

Kay. Day got a bit more quiet. I vaguely remembered running into this weirdness before. It's 'cause apparently opacity creates a new stacking context. Doing z-index:1;position: relative; does same thing. The rule that seems to be breaking everything is the one that forces a default opaque background on everything with dark text. For it to break this, there must be overlapping content, but haven't found it yet. But enough to know what was going on..

Not necessarily the hospital itself, but with that kind of incentive it's going to find its way in. One possibility is family members applying pressure to compassionate doctors.

> irst link I found suggests that medical treatments cause 800,000 deaths per year in the USA.

That number pops up all the time in clickbait headlines, but the study behind it doesn't really support the claim.

There is a pretty substantial difference between "Deaths caused by medical mistakes" and "Deaths that occur in a certain timeframe after a medical mistake occurs" (which is what the study actually looked at) are two very different things.

The sicker someone is, the more likely they are to receive healthcare (so there are more opportunities for mistakes). Also, the sicker someone is, the more likely they are to die. Those two combine to result in a lot of folks that die shortly after a medical mistake, even if the mistake was very minor, and didn't contribute in any way to their death.

Why would you want a shell script to be async? All this means is that you're going to type await 47 times. This isn't a network server, I'm not sure why this is the right tool for this job.

> We as a country need to clarify that there's a difference between being critical of the CCP as a government vs. sinophobia/racism.

That distinction shouldn't need to be made in the first place - it's pretty blindingly obvious to anyone with basic thinking skills that "the government of a county" and "the people/nationalities/culture of a county" are two totally different things.

Even American county dwellers, who tend to be less educated, can understand this pretty easily - most of them identify as being "Americans", but are still critical of their government (and associated politicians).

I don't know the details of the implementation, so I'm theorizing here, but the most important thing is not whether those cookies are set, but whether they can be read e.g. by other browser tabs and other origins. It could be that those cookies are temporarily set, in an isolated way, to avoid breaking things too much. IIRC, there are some heuristics in place and some cookies used for multi-domain Single-Sign-On are allowed (even in Firefox).
Many will refer to stackoverflow since that's the reason this website was created in the first place. But one of the most important thing in solving problems in programming is context.

Here is one real question I got in an interview: How do you efficiently sort a table containing a million record in JavaScript?

My question was "in the front end?"

And my answer was it's probably not a good idea to sort that much data in the front end since the user will most likely not be able to consume that much data. Since it was an interview, I explained how to sort the table anyway.

Sorting in the backend makes sense, but even then using a database is more efficient then doing it in JavaScript.

If this question was on SO, I'd probably answer: You shouldn't do that in the front end, explain why. And of course they will get pissed for not answering how.
Could this be adapted for IPFS? Anyone with stateless client and link to index could search and become part of swarm to speed up trendy queries with redundancy.

Then update it with git like diff versioning, utilize IPNS to point to HEAD of the latest chain of the index.
There are a lot of things I would like and not like, some of them more reasonable than others. If government is intended to prevent violation of rights, ‘not liking’ being photographed in public seems a poor justification for imprisoning someone.
> There's no fall back to a different protocol in a practical sense (yes, the specification does not state it has to be websockets, it just defaults to web sockets). Its for all practical purposes, web sockets or bust. Why this matters to me? Because Server Side Events would be a more efficient way to push messages to clients when the total volume of pushes is several factors greater than pulls, from the server side. That is, the server in aggregate is going to push more data to all the clients than any one client is going to push to the server. Therefore, it would have been nice for this to be abstracted around different models for flexibility of architectural approaches.

That sounds interesting! I've implemented mqtt in a chat project but have not investigated SSE as a fallback/hybrid approach. Are you only using SSE or hybrid? I guess I need to read more about SSE but I am curious to compare it to websockets/mqtt and learn tradeoffs.

I agree that compromised isn't a smart word to use about this, but even if you think all these questions have been settled, I'm surprised you don't agree that it is bad optics to have the investigator to be the funder of the research being investigated, and even worse when he says things like: well, we asked them and they said no, so that's that. The conflict of interest couldn't be more obvious.

It's the media's job to investigate conflicts of interest, so the fact that they didn't looked into that, and that they took Daszak's original so-called debunking at face value, is bad optics on another level. It has left a credibility vacuum, so it's unsurprising that articles like the current one are coming in from the margins.
