Hey, thanks. I'm aware there are so-called alternatives (Banana Blossom, Tofish and such). Unfortunately, from my experience they don't taste like fish yet.
Rufus does in fact have a long explanation of this on their FAQ:

You probably left Secure Boot on. That prevents loading the NTFS UEFI driver.
You sometimes have to use a bit of guesswork to find the best `bs` value, 8M is usually faster IME. I think gnome-disk benchmarks it?

Now, you could also do without fsync, and call `sync` at the end, it could be faster.

He probably just has better things to do and who cares (aside from Google)?

I have a number of old sites (including my blog until recently) which haven't been switched over to https yet. It's not that I can't do it or that there's any real reason not to use https on those sites, I just have other things going on. PG set up his site years ago when https wasn't a default on the web, that's probably the real answer.
I walked into a weird job environment not long ago.

First couple days were not that bad. Not particularly good, but nothing too bad. Like people weren't too friendly but neither too hostile.

There was, though, some casual heated discussion here and there. As I met some people more closely I began to see a trend: Everybody hated almost everybody else. One developer openly told me in our first conversation something like "You'll notice few people talk to me... Everyone hates me here.". Then somewhere else some shouting erupted for a few minutes, but nobody seemed to pay too much attention to it.

I saw someone get up from their desk, go to someone else and instead of normally asking whatever question they wanted to ask, start shouting their question. "How can it be that something something?!!! This is totally unacceptable!". Nobody even looked up from their screens or anything. It would turn out that was the way they always communicated.

We got a meeting with the whole team. Ah, no, not the whole team, just half of it. Why? - I asked. "Oh, we tried that but we can't have the whole team in one meeting because there are... conflicts and we end up not doing anything productive."

A few days later, I get called into a meeting with 6 other people, just to generally estimate a few tasks and discuss some of their details. After about two minutes or so, two people are arguing which ones are the tasks that we need to discuss. Things escalate and they are shouting while the rest watches calmly. I don't even know what to do or where to look because none seems to react at all to this. After some 15-20 minutes of this, the meeting is cancelled. People just stand up and return to their desks. I ask one of them if this is normal. "Yeah, pretty much."

I tried really hard and stayed there for more than 1 1/2 years. The only thing I have from all that is a lot of awful anecdotes about awful people.
I thought according to the crossover theory the virus was not theorised to have crossed from animal to person in the wet market, but was in humans already at that point and that was just the first “superspreader” site
The article is great at spelling a few things out, personally I feel enticed by it in some form. It is the job of other scientists to dispel any wrong or inaccurate information.

Usually the more interesting questions are of the kind of what -isn’t- being said, of what information isn’t being related or investigated.

> The farm water does not come from the same distribution system as city water.

Yes, it does, ultimately, in very large part. It may not traverse all of the same infrastructure, but it comes from the same sources, which have limited capacity. (And, in California, quite a lot of both urban and agricultural water is delivered by either the California State Water Project or the federal Central Valley Project, and an additional fraction of both urban and agricultural water is from sources downstream from the diversions for those water projects, and thus competes directly with them.)

> However, it is not clear at all that agricultural uses even compete with urban uses.

Yes, its quite clear that they do compete quite directly in California.

> People tend to think about water distribution similarly to electricity, which is completely wrong. With electricity, there is one all-encompassing grid that everyone uses, and if some people use more of it

In California, water is very much like that. Even the sources that seem separate (“I have my own well”) tap into sources (aquifers in the case of wells) shared with, and thus competing with, other uses.

> it is as if there were thousands of independent grids that cannot be easily connected

It’s really not like that all in California, especially outside of certain parts of rural Northern California: the vast majority of both the urban and agricultural parts of the rest of the state are dependent on the two big water projects and/or Colorado River water.
Copyright is probably YouTube's biggest legal risk. ContentID was developed in response to lawsuits over copyright. The DMCA has major problems, but I think the safe harbor provision is extremely important.

So does Google have liability for past copyright infringement when they quickly responded to his takedown requests? I don't think so. I'm not a lawyer, but if that's correct, signing a waiver won't cost anything. I understand why Google doesn't want to do more for someone who wants to sue them over their biggest legal risk.

> - Changes to C source files of a shared library should not require a rebuild of dependents (assuming you don't LTO with shared library bitcode)

Not so. Nix does dynamic linking right, too, which means you dynamically link to a unique content (or build recipe) addressable name. Concrete example:

> readlink -f $(which tmux)
/nix/store/vhbhhg82h62j0qnhrd323792c989idsz-tmux-3.1c/bin/tmux
> ldd /nix/store/vhbhhg82h62j0qnhrd323792c989idsz-tmux-3.1c/bin/tmux | fgrep libc.so
libc.so.6 => /nix/store/90illc73xfs933d06daq6d41njs8yh66-glibc-2.32-37/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f21a0e93000)

The 90illc73xfs933d06daq6d41njs8yh66 bit identifies an unique version of glibc.

This way it's actually reproducible and you don't have DLL-hell clashes.

If you want to have the same code structure as this, but without await, you’re gonna implement your own queuing system (every call adds an operation to a queue). Many old tools operated this way, before ES6.

The problem with that it doesn’t meld together with most third party libs, since they will have no knowledge of your queue and will just execute immediately or out of order.
Yes.

It seems that proponents of the lab leak theory wants to turn the burden of proof upside down: I am claiming conspiracy starting with Anthony Fauci and ending up in a Chinese lab. It is up to you to provide hard evidence on why it is not so.

Sure you can do that as in freedom of thought and speech. But honestly; this is not really a constructive way to go about things.
Genuinely curious. Why is the concept of a CIA agent that glows in the dark considered 'racist'?
It certainly doesn't. My point is that truly toxic workplaces are very rare. I can't generalize my personal experience but my bet would be that an average person will never experience it (again, talking about developed world here with corporate culture and labor laws). Or, looking at it from the other end, most stories about toxic workplace may very well be overdramatization of things that are fairly normal. Here's an example - Basecamp is (or has been historically) a great employer. However, recently 30% of workforce has left due to a cultural dispute, which is totally fine. I can easily see how a person who has left Basecamp can interpret is as an act of leaving a toxic workplace even though there doesn't seem to be an evidence that it has ever been. Makes sense?
Why would you waste time trying to "survive" a toxic workplace ? Just leave. Seriously, there's virtually nobody in tech that can't afford to move on.
I don't understand your example, if would only work if your doA,B,C functions were synchronous, which completely changes the paradigm and use case. It's simpler yes, but very different. (simple example: if that function were to be run when you click on a button, now you have a frozen UI.)
Who knows, maybe? Or maybe I just want to process file names with spaces in them? Maybe I don’t want to worry about apostrophes in people’s surnames?
I'm distinguishing between a hobby perspective and a professional perspective.

IMO that really depends on the project size and goal of the project. I've written a C++ project of about 1000 lines (algobot trader with some optimized data structures in keeping the order book consistent). I've written it in VS Code, used a GUI debugger and I haven't really paid for anything.

Meanwhile, I have this friend that programs so much C++ that his mantra is "in C++ assume all tools are broken." When I hear his horror stories, oh dear! Heisenbugs come by every 2 to 3 months.

So for small projects that aren't touching the lower OS/systems level parts, you're not paying any extra costs. However, the deeper and further you go, I'd fully agree.

The patient can say to the doctor "I feel that X drug may be better for me than Y". Sure, ultimately it's the doctor decision, but if patient puts enough pressure and the doctor thinks that there is no material difference between X and Y except e.g. price, they may side with the patient for the sake of their peace of mind. You know the placebo factor etc.
that’s just ignoring all the other benefits, or pitfalls of bash that you have to worry about. This project is not about enabling better parallelism.

I agree that gain-of-function research is very much playing with fire, but who is "we" that could stop doing gain-of-function research? The worst outcome, in my opinion, would be that all of the cautious ethical scientists stop doing gain-of-function research, organizations stop publishing safety guidelines because after all who needs safety guidelines when the research itself is illegal, and the only remaining people doing gain-of-function research are either irresponsible (grad student who doesn't know or doesn't care, and definitely doesn't have the equipment to do it safely) or nefarious (bioweapons research).

I see somewhat of a parallel with security research for computers -- you can try to ban it, and it will probably reduce the total research volume, but it will also decrease the level of openness and harm mitigation of the research that does remain.

Introducing complexity into the build system, error messages, my mental model, interoperation between different parts of the code, other developers are often unfamiliar with less popular parts of the language, modern stuff especially sucks for portability between compilers and OSes. That's just my experience of course, and it doesn't mean I don't profit from writing and selling cpp-based software every day.
Publishers sometime elect to leave full episodes on YouTube either to collect passive ad revenue or just to entice people into watching more on a paid platform. For example, the 1st season of Man vs. Food can be found on YouTube in its entirety. However all the later seasons are heavily cracked down by contentID to the point that the handful of surviving episodes all had serious visual or audio distortions rendering them unwatchable - some episodes were literally uploaded with a badly tuned anaglyph 3D filter that will probably need its own algorithm (or a pair of specially purposed 3D glasses) to unscramble.
Let's go ahead and see what the FDA found out about direct to consumer (DTC) advertising of drugs as they've conducted numerous surveys[1].

Not all bad it seems!

- Most physicians agreed that because their patient saw a DTC ad, he or she asked thoughtful questions during the visit.

- Many physicians thought that DTC ads made their patients more involved in their health care.

- Physicians thought the ads did not convey information about risks and benefits equally well.

- Eight percent of physicians said they felt very pressured to prescribe the specific brand-name drug when asked.

- The study demonstrated that when a patient asked about a specific drug, 88 percent of the time they had the condition that the drug treated.

- Doctors believe that patients understand that they need to consult a health care professional about appropriate treatment.

It's the name a transgender person used to be know by prior to their transition.

It's highly offensive (to some at least) and refering to someone by their "deadname" is considered grounds for a permanent ban on a number of silicon valley services.
A financial incentive to treat? No, that's pretty common across healthcare systems. It's being worked on as system move away from fee-for-service, but generally, the more a physician does, the more they make.
> I haven't worked at many companies (only 4 during my 20+ years from late 90s until now)

You admit to this and then asks how you didn't see or hear more about it?

I worked for 8 companies in the past 16 years, across 2 different countries. From these 8 I'll exclude 2 of them that were very early-stage startups I joined to help some former colleagues or friends (the experience was great nonetheless but not representative).

From the other 6 I'd rate that 2 were really toxic, 2 were great and the remaining 2 were completely mixed, depending very much on what part (and/or team) of the company you worked at.

The toxicity ranges from: verbal (and once physical) abuse; constant gaslighting from higher management; immature (and hyper emotional) bosses and/or peers; C-level trying to use divide-and-conquer tactics, spreading false rumours about people talking about others behind their backs, making two teams work on the same feature and dumping the losers; immature management inducing micromanagement, to the point of scheduling HR meetings to berate people if they forgot to complete every 15 minutes time-slot of a timesheet; and so many more instances of toxicity.

You just get used to it at some places, it desensitises you, it's easy to cope by going numb. It doesn't need to happen constantly, just often enough to start to affect you mentally. At one place the toxicity was always in slow burn but after 2-3 years employees would drop like flies from burn out.

There are definitely a lot of toxic places and people around. I'm very glad you didn't have to experience it.
1) A depending on B does not mean A is part of B (though I'd dispute cryptocurrencies requires the web to function at all, perhaps you're thinking of the internet?).

2) Cryptographic libraries (many relatively recent, e.g. go or rust libraries) are definitely an important part of the web, they're integral to web tech if you define web tech as the tech that powers the web.

The US was founded by entire colonies of people coming overseas to worship the Christian God freely. Many key founders were deeply religious; believing all forms of government are doomed without the help of the Christian God. The Christian God was a huge factor in government and repeatedly credited as the guiding force and inspiration for the entire endeavor.

Christian prayer and Bible reading was a public school item until the mid 1960s. Church and state separation was entirely redefined around then as well; it didn't mean back then what people think it means now. The ten commandments was in courthouses. There are people still alive today that were led in prayer to the Christian God every single day of public school (and required to read the Bible); they're everywhere.

Being a top golfer/fencer/rower/tennis player does not just serve as a signal of dedication and grit (otherwise being in the piano guild or running a 3hr marathon or being lead guitarist in a band would help just as much), but also as a proxy of parents being in the 0.1% of wealth - both because these are upper class pursuits and because they are generally expensive to train and find elite private lessons for.

And because of the culture of university endowments/donations, US elite universities massively chase the 0.1% unlike in other parts of the world.
> Cows are genetically engineered

That's not what processed food means. A slice of steak from a GMO cow is not processed food, except inasmuch as slashing a knife is a process.

Furthermore, more or less traditional cheese is not considered "processed food" in that context even though it is definitely processed for a long time and with significant effort. Nor is wine or sauerkraut for that matter.

Doctors get cash and hospitality benefits from big pharma though based on how they prescribe.
If there is drug X from company Y and drug A from company B and then there is no difference in therapeutic benefits between two drugs, but company B gives doctor cash and has access to regional sales data where the doctor operates, they can modify the benefit based on sales. Then the doctor is incentivised to prescibe the A. This may be harmless, but if the doctor gets into a financial trouble or simply get overwhelmed by greed, this can quickly turn into something that harm patients.
In my country doctors don't have to disclose those relationships and they don't even have to declare this as income.

I agree it's enticing. I tend to agree with the scientist quoted that it's a conspiracy theory, but if it is then it's a really good one, and this article is well written.

If I'm right the reason it's not being analysed or investigated is that from a scientific perspective it's just not an interesting question, rather than for a deeper ideological reason as suggested in this article.

I drew the conclusion that this furin cleavage site theory wasn't actually convincing after a few days of wading through scientific literature, but as a non-expert I was pretty disappointed that there wasn't more accessible analysis of well-written arguments as presented in the article that would put it into a more objective perspective. It would have been great if that scientist they quote would have provided a more detailed rebuttal.

The problem is it actually isn't the job of scientists to dispel wrong or inaccurate information for the most part. They do detailed esoteric studies and write them up for specialists. It's nobody's job to rebut bad arguments, and that's the problem.

This becomes particularly bad with "consulting firms" who charge by the hour to stuff it up and then charge by the hour to get a new team to fix it and then another team to fix the fix and so it goes.

The dislikable and anti-social part is, in the end, just because they make feel the rest of us guilty.
