I dump on Omar and the rest of the squad as a middle-left Democrat for the sole reason that they are costing the left many centrist voters who otherwise agree with us. I also think that the extreme stuff that they push is actually bad and would hurt people.

It's fine to be an extremist, I am as well along some axes. But it is just dumb to think that everyone who is not as extreme as you is a Republican/fascist/communist/white supremacist/critical race theorist. Worse, it hurts your cause by tainting the center-ey people who can actually get things done with the stink of rabid activism.
The doctor can also put a generic name of the drug on the prescription and patient can tell the pharmacy to sell them a particular brand instead of a generic. So there is space where such direct advertising could work.

Do you mean being a victim, or being helpless?

I am a victim of a crime - I need to take the required action to get legal retribution.

Saying “I am not a victim” does nothing to help me.

How to Run Linux GUI Apps on Windows 10 with WSL and WSLg
Why "Beyond Burgers" and not the dozens (if not hundreds) of meat substitutes that have been available in Europe for more than 25 years?
I assume you did as you advise, so I'm happy for you to explain how it works.
Computer Security, Privacy, and DNA Sequencing [pdf]
If you have a Windows 10 computer with Windows Hello enabled, Windows 10 will ALWAYS assume you want to use a platform authenticator if the website doesn't specify whether to register a platform or a cross-platform authenticator.

If you have both Windows Hello enabled and a Yubikey inserted into your computer and you start the registration, Windows 10 will always bring up the Windows Hello dialog, asking you to perform a biometric verification. In my case, this will be a fingerprint reading. Your Yubikey won't be in any way active and the option to use your Yubikey won't be visible even if you click "More choices".

What you actually need to do is to press the "Cancel" button on the Windows Hello dialog. If you press Cancel, only then are you prompted to register a security key. And if the registration was started accidentally, you need to press "Cancel" both on the Windows Hello dialog and on the security key dialog.

It's just downright stupid UX. You basically need to teach the users to "start the registration and then immediately cancel it" if they want to use a Yubikey on a Windows Hello machine. If the website doesn't specify "platform" or "cross-platform" preference during registration and the user is using Chrome on macOS with Touch ID, Chrome will just ask if you want to use Touch ID or use a security key.

If the website specifies a preference for cross-platform authenticators, or there's no Windows Hello set up on the machine, then Windows will actually show the security key registration dialog without any need to click "Cancel".

There's also the issue that WebAuthn resident keys can only be managed through the clunky command-line interface. At least I haven't found a way to manage resident keys in another manner. But the clunky command-line interface is actually among the best management options - other browsers provide no management for resident keys.

I've actually considered writing a blog post griping about how stupid the experience with WebAuthn is. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Windows, macOS, iOS. I don't think there's been any combination there where something hasn't annoyed me.
In my country, general practitioners can only prescribe a limited number of drugs and specialist visits a month, so as not to overwhelm the healthcare system. It's their moral choice to deem a person sick enough for a certain course of action.

Whatever pill the doctor writes me up, I always end up asking the apothecary or looking up online the cheapest substitute. This is how the elderly here cope, they can barely pay bills, let alone choose which pills to skip. I've personally not had any problems with big pharma substitutes so far.
They had some release for m68k machines I think.

On Delicate Linux, once you get libressl at /opt and try to configure mbedtls to read "libressl" before SSL, Dillo would have a modern crypto stack and it would be really good for old machines.
For me it felt allways a bit strange how fast china acted. The virus was very fresh, nothing was known, just a few cases and china totaly locked down millions if people. Two, three months later, when we already had high numbers if cases in the west, lockdowns started in the west also. But everybody said, "we know nothing about this new virus". For me it allways like, china knew much more about the virus early on.
Of course I was not defending Soviet Union but commenting on the returning popularity of "communism", and by that I was thinking of Marx ideas, notably regarding the economy[0]. I'm not sure there is really a returning popularity for Stalinism.

Python, pretty much exactly.
I can't read from your comment if you are talking about the PRC or the US political meddling. Given that both sides are as likely to do this for easy brownie points I don't think it matters as we will never have the correct answer: People in the US will at most be told one side while people in the PRC will be told the other. In the end it's just two sides throwing turds, like most politics.
Wow!
I am not a gamer, but the sound transitions are really impressive. Nice job explaining it Isao.
when I write scripts in js or python over bash, its to leverage their access to data structures, error handling, and libraries. Often I use TypeScript, because types are good and concurrent i/o is a first class feature.

This means that promise.all probably looks something more like

const lastWeek = DateTime.now().minus({ days: 7 }).toISOString()
const pods = JSON.parse(await $`kubectl get pods -o json`)
useValidate(pods, isKubeCtlPodList)
await Promise.all(
pods.filter(pod => !protectedPods.includes(pod.name))
.filter(pod => target.test(pod.name))
.filter(pod => pod.created < lastWeek)
.map(pod => $`kubectl delete pod ${pod.name}`)
)

Id certainly encapsulte my calls, parsing, and validation differently in real code, but you get the gist.

In shell I can wrangle jq, date, xargs and get the same result; only this is waay easier to write, gives me validation and usable error messages, and can be altered much more easily than shell.

I write complex bash scripts somewhat often. They can be quicker to write, they are great for one-offs. But if I'm coming back to something non-trivial or if its getting deployed into production I want a language like js or python (or nearly any other language. C++, OCaml, Java all help more than they hinder).
>and the majority of the feed for those animals comes from... traditional crop farming.

I don't know how to find data but I thought that "grain-fed" cattle largely don't exist outside the USA (chicken/pork are different), so the only crop farmed is hay. And that may not impose as heavy costs as other crops?
I used to work in the public sector myself, so who am I to judge your way of making a living? But still, I don't like if public resources (work-time and tax money) are wasted just because of political reasons. But that is entirely my problem.
This is true for any phone where you are persistently signed into your email client.

The solution is a competent hardware security layer and a reasonably strong passcode, such as offered on recent models of iPhone. This is sufficient for normal people to thwart opportunistic attacks.

Of course if your adversary is a Government or a corporation that has root permission on your device, you would obviously take a different security posture.
WoeUSB hasn't been very reliable for me. I've had better results booting up a Windows VM to use Rufus with USB passthrough to the drive instead.
Starting with such an egregious error as "bill Clinton legalised interstate banking" doesn't bode well...
Another vote for ventoy. Means I can use my large fast USB drive (actually an mSATA SSD pulled from a broken laptop, in an adapter) as a collection of boot media while keeping the rest of the space for other use. I don't need to boot from a distro CD often these day, but when I do it is nice that it is much faster than my other USB sticks, more convenient than carrying a few (Debian, Ubuntu, psSense, Kali, ...) around, and more convenient to update when I need something new or otherwise specific for the situation.
How do you deal with it, when you are writing bash scripts?
Adding Numerical Libraries to Docker for C++ Microservices
I had to come back to my home country for a few weeks now, having been away for one year and a half, and it's absolutely insane how every ad on tv and radio is for drugs. They even target children for car sickness. Instead of educating people to avoid these things, everything is: smoke and bad breath, get breathazol, drink too much or eat only unhealthy stuff: forteliver plus. There was a movement to ban all pharma advertising, but the lobbying was just too strong and the project did not move forward.
Babel can do this if you wish to only strip TS extensions without typechecking.
Quite a long article, but skimming it it looks like that experiment involves applying naturally occurring mutations to an existing virus?
Honestly I’d rather use Bash than JavaScript. I’ve been using Go for scripting recently which has been nice.
draw.io is great for flowcharts and similar diagrams, but every time I've tried to mock up UIs with it I quickly find myself spending 90% of my time fighting snapping and being unable to do precise movements. Perhaps it's just me not knowing how to use it properly.
Ah, right. And all these “my move constructor wasn’t called” — “one of subfields had non-moveable field” and other arcane topics, which only C++ forums have, are just little implementation details. C++ is good when you believe it is Curly Visual Basic with some AOT speed and is an implicitness nightmare when you really care.
He means that nothing should exist, because life means death, existence means suffering. I honestly don't see the relation to capitalism because consumption is literally just spending for utility and consumption can be absolutely anything, it can be sustainable or not.
Love how it's implemented

Hope more games can do that
Barely related, Terry just used extreme racist language. From his Wikipedia

"Although Davis remained lucid when discussing computer-related subjects, his communication skills were significantly affected by his schizophrenia. He was controversial for his regular use of racial epithets, which he explained was his way of combating actors of psychological warfare. "

He had some problems but the internet tried to put up with him. He had a few accounts here, usually only lasting a few comments before being banned. People were genuine with him and when he made a decent post it would be vouched for and seen.

As someone who struggles with mental health issues too, it was very endearing seeing how he was treated despite his issues here and elsewhere online.

Thanks, this is the most underrated answer. Selling processed food as one solution to climate change is genius marketing BS but still just BS. It reminds me of Soylent, Juicero and the like.

If you care about the environment, your health and animal well being then just eat less animal product (you need some anyway), buy only local food (local meat) and above all stop wasting so much of it.

Just a few decades ago people knew what they were eating, no processed food in any way. They were raising their livestock in their yard, they knew their single sheep / pork / cow and poultry and respected them. At some point you need to eat and kill them, people getting shocked by this have just become brainwashed or oversensitive. Go spend some time in Africa, Asia or Eastern Europe, they're laughing at this nonsense trend.
> for which I don't know the English word - it's a grayish slab, often eaten on rye bread here in North-Western Europe

In British English, that would be "Head Cheese" or "Brawn", or at least head cheese is likely to be a similar product, made from the animal's head, that's the only thing I can think of. I've never eaten it and it's regarded as kinda gross.

Now blood sausage, that can be tasty :)

I'm not sure whether you meant guess from JS or just guess.

In the second case, reasonable, and "should be" and "considered" are all value judgment words that you will decide yourself if there's a fit for you. So if you meant how can someone judge a phone, you'll have to decide for yourself, because that's the only way you'll feel satisfied with your particular definitions of reasonableness, consider, and should. If you insist on discussing it with other people I think it would be an easy way if you wanted to spend a bit of time arguing about those definitions and which one you personally feel is right, or getting even more meta you could probably try to start a long-winded argument with people by suggesting that these words have no subjective judgment definition but are in fact truly objective. But I think all that's kind of pointless so of course I wouldn't waste my time arguing any of that. ;) ;P xx

If you meant, case 1, guess from JS, you can get the memory and the number of cores from the deviceMemory and hardwareConcurrency properties of the navigator global object. While i think that's probably not sufficient I think it's a start and you could always research more for yourself if you were genuinely curious about this.

If it's case two you don't need to be afraid to make a choice, just look at it and make a judgment about whether you think it's low spec or not.
The second main reason we are where we are is that many western countries did nothing, some even less than nothing by actively spreading the virus by hosting religious or political events.

If we are playing the blame game we should be playing it right.
Who is us on that regard? Who decides the standard?
Yep. I am just wondering if the paradigm of JS being asynchronous is just not worth the added effort in code complexity and all the workarounds that have had to be added in over the years to try to make it manageable.

I personally find it a chore to work in JS compared to other languages that work the opposite way - everything is synchronous and things become a chore when you want to deal with async stuff. Again I have limited JS experience and have never enjoyed working with it (I just am not interested in front end stuff) so I'm sure it's stuff people get used to.
Hong Kong Residents Revolt Against Covid-19 Quarantine Camp
With respect, I believe anyone who uses the term "famous for being famous" isn’t working very hard to understand the subject. It is roughly like saying a programming language is successful because it uses semicolons.
My point was that 'work', doing things that are not leisure (although that distinction can be vague) is not limited to what we generally mean when we say 'job' (paid labor). The role of a mother comes to mind, or retirees who spend time volunteering.

Anyways, just clearing that up. I agree that the recipe to happiness probably includes a hefty dose of 'what we do for others'. I don't think I've met a person who was truly happy just slacking off and doing things just for themselves.

On the contrary, a lot of people are fine with it. That's why most people don't think about it much.
Class action suit against Valve Corporation
The messaging above is good because the animal suffering morality angle is implied without needing to be stated.

If you haven’t been convinced by decades of animal cruelty messaging (and most people haven’t), you’re unlikely to be convinced by it here.

It might form a meaningful part of a bigger decision-making process, but we already have that information.
Hey, thank you so much for having the self-reflection to be aware of this, and even more thanks for the courage to bring it out publicly like this.

We all have "our moments".
I find it hard to take seriously any “scientist” that dismisses an idea as a “conspiracy theory” (i.e. a concept developed by the CIA specifically to discredit political opponents) as opposed to using actual rational / scientific arguments.

At best, it demonstrates intellectual laziness, at worst a political / ideological conviction, neither of which is a hallmark of a good scientist.
As were most events for months, plenty of political rallies and other bullshit that should not have been happening and heavily contributed to the spread.
I worked there on site for a 6 month (minus one day) contract as a developer with already couple of years of experience. But just before the end of my contract I have learned from couple of guys from support line that I am basically earning less than they earn manning the phone with no education, experience or technical knowledge.

So when the end of the contract came I met with my boss who also had ability to make sole decision and sign the contract. He explained that they would like to keep me and they will even give me raise.

But when I said the raise basically puts me on level with the phone desk and I suspect engineers earn a lot more he said that this is as much as I am going to get and I should be happy because as a Pole I am not going to get anything more than that. Those were his words.

I have not met any other form of discrimination from anybody in the company, peer or manager. It was fun working there and I befriended a lot of people, spent a lot of time being invited to parties, etc. But this one statement sealed it for me and I knew that I would never be happy there.

Now, I don't have time to make a shit storm out of this and I am too busy to have any publicity around me at the moment. So I am not going to name the company.

I am lucky to be a developer and basically be able to choose where and for whom I work, so this did not cost me a lot. But I understand most people are not so lucky and this amounts to exploitation.
I moved to Stockholm for the duration of the contract.
That's very interesting, because some of your examples do seem toxic or borderline toxic, but some do not. Let's take verbal and physical abuse. Can you tell me specifically what was said? Same with physical abuse. There's no excuse for getting physical, unless there's a reason why force had to be used. For instance, at one corporate party one of co-workers got really drunk and pushed another co-worker (a woman) during dancing. The push looked mostly accidental, but the other person nearly fell down, so a bunch of guys had to physically restrict the drunk guy. We forced him into a taxi and took him to a hotel. Next day the guy sobered up and apologized for his behavior and left company/got fired (not sure) soon after. I've seen the entire with my own eyes, but I wouldn't say this is an example of 'toxic workplace', because the company is great and when you have hundreds of people attending a Christmas party, some guys and gals will get drunk and do stupid things. And when drunk people do stupid dangerous things, you have to apply physical force and/or call the police. Also, I've seen two teams working on the same problem exactly for the reason you describe - see who does it better and faster. And the winning team then takes the entire project over. I don't see how it's toxic in any way. Same with other example you have. I absolutely hate micromanagement and has experienced it before multiple times. I think it's stupid and counterproductive but I've never seen it become toxic. Office politics? Happens in every large organization and is inevitalble. Not necessarily toxic, unless you consider that any city hall or local government politics is toxic by default.
Ah yes, the radio ads - forgot to mention these.

I'm pretty sure OP has just designed a look-ahead compressor with a slightly over-engineered response envelope, which in practice will probably respond worse than most existing mastering limiters with lookahead capability on the market.

Nice write-up, but this is not some new, groundbreaking approach :)
Unless you're trying to flash some decade old operating system 'dd' should do the job. I haven't seen a non hybrid iso in years.
Modern humans don't go back literally millions of years. If one were to look at how humans evolved then looking at "Comparative Anatomy of Digestive System of Carnivores, Omnivores, Herbivores, and Humans" to me implies a strong bent towards fruits and nuts. Personally, I think whatever could be eaten got eaten. The consensus of the IPCC is that we should eat less meat.

Food has extremely strong cultural significance and a lot of people tie up their identity with it. I can understand that. If they feel that their diet is under attack they see it as life and death for their identity.

I imagine you've picked a side and will seek whatever information or studies suits you; everyone is doing that these days. It's anti-scientific.
True, but Linux is also a first-class citizen in the OpenZFS project. The argument that was made earlier is that FreeBSD is so nice, because of its superior ZFS integration. This has been true for a long time and as such I agree with OP.

However, since the ZFS code basis is now the same for Linux and FreeBSD (which I also agree is a good thing) I don't think we will have the same superior FreeBSD ZFS argument anymore. And people who are in favor of FreeBSD over Linux have to provide other pro arguments than ZFS in order to make a case for FreeBSD.
This happens when a high performer enters an environment of low performers. They know there was a reason for you being hired and feel threatened.

In my experience, the best approach isn't to attempt to change the world immediately but to head straight for the most important decision maker and point out the problems with concrete solutions. If it doesn't work, resign. Eventually they will get the picture but a high performing new hire shouldn't have to suffer.
Facebook is disclosing to third parties that its users have an "interest" in a medical condition although FB purports not to disclose users' medical conditions.

Per @refurb in the comments, when people have an "interest" in a medical condition, they almost always actually suffer from that condition.

It's almost like the algorithms are in charge over there, unsupervised.
wow! just amazing.
I fear moderating that to keep it from devolving into yet another example of the forums mentioned in this subthread would be a full time job for multiple people. The whole cryptocurrency/blockchain space is tainted, and keeping the trash out of such forums is like trying to keep flies off of shit.
The comments here have taken a different turn from what I came here for.

Anyway, is there some relatively unknown startup that everyone thinks is crazy at the moment? Like Twitter of 2007? I remember blogging their demise back then.
