That's another thing I'm not sold on this article about. It's trying to connect this with Covid but really the animosity against Asians (Chinese in particular) has been brewing in Vancouver for like twenty years thanks to real estate speculation being largely blamed on Chinese investors.
> What difference does it make that we got unlucky in this way as opposed to that way?

Is this a serious question?

How about, if this is true the US government should not be funding any research like this in China.

How about, the research must be done at BSL-4 instead of 2/3 as noted in the paper.

How about, we need to massively step up our surveillance efforts on the current state of respiratory viruses going forward. Something like the Seattle Flu Study at national scale. This last point is true regardless of the origin story for SARS-CoV-2.
> I'm not advocating this for anyone, but yeah some apps don't take money or donations, ads are how they make money, so I shoot my tiny pistol at the tank that is sustainable app development and enable *targeted ads.

Don't they earn only if people actually buy through the ads?
Right, I agree with you completely on Covid.
Yeah, my spouse just hit me with the same point. I think the ["natural" process but facilitated by lab escape] branch is probably the hardest to falsify, so it's a place peoples' prior weights on that scenario are going to end up really dominating discourse.

I think that branch is past what scientific dialog really covers, and it's probably the methods and standards of proof from legal exploration that might be the way to progress the discussion. Unfortunately, the world is missing a moderator that folks would broadly trust to facilitate that conversation.

I'm not sure what to think about the current situation. My wife and other local business owners I've spoken with over the last couple of months (we live on Cape Cod) are having a hard time hiring people, and they're all offering a minimum of $15-$16/hr. If the worker shortage continues, it'll compound in the summer with the tourist season, especially if the typical seasonal workers aren't available due to travel restrictions (many are international).

We're also having trouble with schools and daycares that've become used to closing at 3-4 pm and are unlikely to return to staying open until 5-5:30 pm.

It'll be interesting to see the long-term effects of this accidental experiment over the last year of UBI/shorter work hours. We're lucky enough to afford a nanny to fill the gaps along with family, but I have no idea how other people do it. Part of me hopes it's just the additional family duties and increased unemployment benefits keeping people temporarily out of the workforce for now and not a permanent trend of preferred underemployment. It's been tough seeing so many local businesses go under over the last year.
The setting controls whether Flurry can retrieve the advertising id (IDFA) which allows for cross-app identification. Without that, Flurry can still count devices using an app, but cannot identify if they are the same across apps. So they can easily sample what portion of an apps users allow access to the IDFA.
>it's been a long time I've felt such an enormous disgust at the amount of neglect and arrogance that is being displayed there.

Please do not assume bad faith. Type-ahead has some confusing usability issues, such as that it only matches against the beginning of the filename, which from my reading is why it probably will not be brought back. The way forward is to help get the current solution up to par. I feel your pain, but giving up and reverting to old type-ahead behavior will only ensure that the issue never gets a proper fix. It's very hard to have a conversation about this when people assert that the real cultural problem is that a particular feature they want isn't implemented.

>Another point is that their Alt-Tab has a strange auto-grouping behaviour that totally breaks my workflow.

Has this been reported?
When ADAS systems come into play, the primary concern is who's going to shoulder the blame when things fail. This autonomous driving thing is no simple nor incremental improvement, this is an overhaul in our current structure of liability. So far, with a human driving, when things go awry, blame can be easily assigned, it's simple and case can be closed. When we introduce total absolution of the former party in charge, simeone else has to step in. The only one with any control here is the producer of the vehicle, yet the scope of responsibility is far too large for anyone at the traditional levels of rigor. The consequence is that ever increasing levels of safety requirements get demanded from the self-driving technology, enough to make it at any time both insuficiently mature and an even more desired thing for how much it has to offer in order to cover the said requirements. Mr. Musk seem like a smart man to not be aware of this, which makes me think about the moral hazard of his tweets.
They are still classes, still live on the heap and still need to be garbage collected. Compare with value types that live on the stack in other languages such as Swift, Go and Julia.
>mpv has since implemented client side decorations.

Yes eventually somebody implemented them, and they look like this:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/7186

Needless to say, mpv prefers xdg-decoration if compositor supports it.

>There aren't any zero code solutions

It's zero-code for client if the compositor actually handled the border. And yes, compositor is the more likely component to actually have the foundation to do this kind of task.. I mean it is an _compositor_.

>The idea I suggested is for the library to load the relevant kde and gtk symbols with dlopen, so there would not need to be multiple libraries

Yes and hope those libraries actually implement stable ABI. SDL may do this, but it's actually a maintenance nightmare. If you actually go this way, it's better to have wrapper libraries that link to the actual libraries instead and dlopen those wrapper libraries where you can ensure stable ABI. Though I also aren't really fan of shared libraries, but that's entirely different topic.

> Article acts like having a 'richer' language approximating English makes it easier or more approachable, but whenever I've tried such languages I've found them harder.

You're not the target audience. Grace Hopper explained it:

“I used to be a mathematics professor. At that time I found there were a certain number of students who could not learn mathematics. I then was charged with the job of making it easy for businessmen to use our computers. I found it was not a question of whether they could learn mathematics or not, but whether they would. […] They said, ‘Throw those symbols out — I do not know what they mean, I have not time to learn symbols.’ I suggest a reply to those who would like data processing people to use mathematical symbols that they make the first attempt to teach those symbols to vice-presidents or a colonel or admiral. I assure you that I tried it.”

The goal was to give senior management the illusion of understanding what their hirelings were doing.

>it's not hard to understand that black lives matter is a decentralized movement that is not centrally represented.

There are official non-profit organizations that represent the decentralized groups, and you can't find anything from there, which proves my point.

>Third, that "facebook post" documents an actual event organized by the family of Daniel Shaver, thanking the local blm chapter for their support.

Can't see where it says any of that. Not that it matters, a FB post proves nothing of the GP's claim. This is Trump supporter-level reaching: "LOOK AT THIS FB PHOTO AS PROOF!"

>If you have a more substantial voice that has done more than blm in bringing attention to this issue in a productive way, feel free to bring that forward.

No, you make the claim, you supply evidence that supports that claim. Welcome to the Internet.
> who happens to be born poor

Yes, that's troublesome, but it is inherently impossible to solve this. Less poor parents generally educate their children better (or at least keep their children in better environments), so this is difficult if not impossible to correct. I ensure my preschooler does her reading lessons every night - poorer parents (on average) don't. How are you supposed to correct for this?

> or who happens to be born with a darker skin color

Huh? Are you in tech? If anything, the "darker" kids were performing better at the schools I attended growing up (in the Bay Area).

> We tell universities that if they want any federal funding they must admit classes that accurately reflect US demographics. 1% of the incoming class is from the top 1% of earners. Same for socioeconomic status.

Well, demographics is a bit arbitrary, so the only way to do this across whatever you are trying to measure is to run a US-wide lottery for every school.

This would functionally kill the concept of universities as tracked systems and I imagine it would be strictly better for all of the top schools to simply forgo federal funding to preserve their very purpose.

> Actually, records are even better* than tuples. EP 395 says:

They are certainly not better, that's just a sad click-bait (the author even admits that).

Sometimes nominal typing is better and sometimes structural typing is better. Forcing people to always use nominal types just ends in a lot of generic or long/meaningless names - one can already see this in Java.
My understanding is that programs like these work on the hypothesis that violent crime is often a symptom of an underlying public health issue (often mental health, in particular), and so should be addressed by public health resources more than by enforcement resources.
Ha, I think the internet needs a new term like Godwin's Rule or Gell-Mann Amnesia or whatever for the constant claims of "This only happens in America" or "This problem is worse in America than anywhere else" and then the reality is that the US is in line with averages or norms in other countries or cultures.

While this is written in an inflammatory tone, they key takeaways are inflation are rising and income from the government as a proportion of total income are increasing and never been higher, respectively.

Jeffrey Gundlach had a great recent presentation on these trend reversals that is worth considering:

https://youtu.be/gy65QvvsXPI
Who is arguing otherwise? It's assumed that when a language adds a new feature that's historically been provided by libraries, it's probably better optimized. CompletableFutures, Streams, Date/Time. For many they've replaced libraries filling the gaps.

But not all of us can use JDK 14, and will continue to use Lombok if we're writing in Java.
That's Axios's style. Their thesis is that most "analysis" is biased (and often wrong), and therefore they stick to just reporting the raw facts as concisely and easy to digest as possible. I, for one, love it but I understand why it may be off-putting to some.
You're not kidding, that's probably the most beautiful book in HTML I've ever seen. The typography is gorgeous, the navigation is intuitive and easy to use, downloadable code samples, links for every paragraph with a feedback form (!), and the writing style is clear and approachable.

>How was it possible to know in advance what hardware will be required?

I suspect that most of the hardware is the ability of a computer to drive the car. Steering/throttle/braking inputs for example.

It could be that what you mean by 'hardware' is some combination of intelligence and sensor system.

Apple doesn't have a spotless record with security. However, they are significantly better at pushing updates. A large majority of eligible iOS devices install OS updates, and iOS devices tend to be eligible for updates for many years.

Additionally, because sales are much lower for iOS than Android, it's hard to get to the same scale. I don't know about iPad numbers, but 1 billion iPhones is about 5 years of sales, and five years is around where Apple stops providing updates (edit: as pointed out below, they're doing closer to 8 years from release now, but not all sales are from current model phones) and that combines with other factors and very few devices make it past five years of use.
> Others might be more successful getting through to them with their slider closer to the carrot. I truly respect that ability, I just keep thinking appeasement is a failed strategy.

Fair enough. I prefer to engage with both sides on this issue, but I suppose there are other issues where my feelings are strong enough, and my faith in one side of the issue low enough, that I would not bother engaging.

> My honest opinion is the hard working professionals making 150-350k are getting hosed.

They...aren’t. It’s true that that group, the 92nd-98th percentile by income in the US, are bearing a somewhat heavier burden than they probably ought to in order to support the illusion of tax progressivity while hyperrich capitalists skate by relatively untaxed, but that’s very much not “getting hosed”, especially compared to the at-least-equally hardworking people much lower on the economic scale

> However it would be a mistake to to call flute sound simple: as you see, every level has its own regular pattern that can’t be recreated with a simple mix of sinusoidal tones.

The resonance of the flute's air chamber is driven by the noise of forced air stream, which is why it contains high frequencies at all. Of course you can't recreate the flute sound just with some periodic sinusoidals, because the noise component has to be present. The noise is complex and is itself filtered by the flute's chamber, in a different way depending on which valves are closed. You can play a recognizeable scale on a flute without getting a tone out of it, just using air noise, the same way you can produce a musical tune using chhhh sounds out your mouth. Those notes, or something like them, are still there in the background when a tone is being produced. There is no flute tone without them.
I've been developing software for over 35 years and this is exactly the approach I and most of my teams (well, the successful ones anyway) have taken. The strategy is to show viability and let business drivers determine how and when to best tackle that 20%. The pursuit of perfection is the pursuit of failure.

P.S. - I've also worked in shops where bugs in software can result in serious harm or loss of life. Guess what? They don't use this approach.

A slight tangent, but the Victoria Line (London Underground system) was officially opened in 1969 to run trains automatically without the need for drivers. However, there is always a driver in the cab for emergencies etc.

On opening, the line was equipped with a fixed-block Automatic Train Operation system (ATO). The train operator closed the train doors and pressed a pair of "start" buttons and, if the way ahead was clear, the ATO drives the train at a safe speed to the next station. At any point, the driver could switch to manual control if the ATO failed.[27] The system, which operated until 2012, made the Victoria line the world's first full-scale automatic railway.

This kind of second order thinking and attempted manipulation is a big reason the mainstream press has lost all of its trust.

The same nonsense was why people tried to justify saying "masks don't work" was okay. "Well, we need the masks for healthcare workers so just lie to the public so they don't try to buy too many".

There are a lot of problems with this.

1. First I think it's largely a lie, the people making these arguments are not masterminds working on 3 levels, they're making stupid tribal arguments of a similar depth to the people blaming China out of "China bad".

2. It fails, the attempted manipulation is obvious and comes out as wrong - this further discredits the press and weakens the trust of the public in institutions. This plays directly into the hands of the 'people who will use your words dishonestly'.

3. We should give a shit about the truth independent of tribal affiliation, second order manipulations are stupid - people that act to cover that up are not as clever as they think they are.
