> I think the COVID-19 pandemic has shown a lot of us that actual physical isolation from others can be much more detrimental to our mental well-being than we thought.

Can you site source for this claim, I do not see any detrimental mental health, at least in terms of people are willingness to go back to work from office.

That Flutter is nowhere to be seen beyond As Words, the new buggy Google Pay, and a couple of cases that Google sponsored to show something in stage during Flutter conferences.

And Flutter isn't even something that the whole company buys into, hence the counter movement from Android team and JetBrains with Compose or the whole PWA and Fungus Project from Chrome team.

Fuchsia remains to be seen if it is going to be another Android or follow Brillo's footsteps.
To preface: though I've read a fair amount about Mercurial, I can count on my fingers the number of times I've actually used a Mercurial repo and I've used largefiles only ever as a toy, so I am very much a Mercurial newbie. So there is a chance I may get something wrong here.

However, my impression is that in fact largefiles is basically the only game in town and Mercurial LFS if anything is meant to be even more like Git LFS to the point of being compatible with it.

The thing I'm more curious about is I don't immediately see how large file support in git (or mercurial), whether implemented as a separate tool or natively, could ever feasibly be "transparently erasable," that is rewindable back to be absolutely identical to a repository with no large files support without rewriting revision history.

It doesn't seem impossible (e.g. maybe you could somehow maintain a duplicate shadow revision history and transparently intercept syscalls?), but the approaches I can think of all have pretty hefty downsides and feel even more like hacks than the current crop of tools.
Not just mental health, but physical as well. Humans are not well suited for long term high G environments, while I have every expectation that we will someday make it to other planetary systems I doubt the meatbags will be coming along.
It's easy enough to script the download of external files, I'm not sure I see what the big deal is here.

To me, most cases of large files in VCS seem like using a hammer as a screwdriver.
I think the OP explains below but my interpretation is based on how much money you make (reflected on your 1040) you either are getting help from unemployment benefits (UI) or asset price increases driven by monetary policy (QE). I imagine the circuses are an allusion to NewsMax/OANN and other American media.
I think you should start with The Alchemist.
This article appears to be the work of an author who has been preoccupied with his thesis for too long. Having noticed some flaws and studied them, all he can see now is corruption.

Meanwhile, in the real world, science and technology has, in little more than a year and mostly apolitically, developed several different vaccines against covid-sars-2, tested them, and we are in the process of vaccinating the world's population. People are getting vaccinated, not because they are being forced to, but because they want to. I strongly suspect that, over the next year, a preponderance of those who are currently hesitant will quietly, and individually, choose to be vaccinated. The biggest problems right now are in delivering doses to where they are most needed, and that is a geopolitical problem that has nothing to do with the allegedly corrupt and authoritarian nature of science.

If we are all going to hell in a handbasket, it is not because science has become corrupt.
Loved this! The disillusionment with academia, the 'demic inspired semi nihilism (fuck the bread), the casual swearing in the title...
I generally agree with most of what you've said about JWT, but I think it's better retrofitted after you have performance issues.

First pass, just do a database query! Most startups never hit the limits of this approach. It's hard to get simpler.

Second pass, cache the state in memcache. If you're on app engine or heroku or some other paas, you already have it available. Even fewer startups hit this limit.

Third pass, it's time to break out JWT. Congratulations, this is a great problem to have.
I'm skeptical of a few things in the medium post, for instance if you compare the etherium's ERC20 defi ecosystem to bitcoin, you will get more git repositories because there are simply more coins.
Secondly, more is not always better, and measuring developer activity by git repositories is like measuring lines of code as a metric for the amount of work being done.
Oh OK, I suffer from being to literal. Metaphors and symbolism are difficult for me grasp, especially when reading for some reason.

What about controlling for common cause hypothesis? That urbanization is linked to both more specialization to support more mental health outpatient capacity and better diagnosis? Let alone in the case of it being harder to hide and more obvious if someone starts having a psychotic episode in the middle of a city street vs on his own twelve acres.

The examples of China aren't that great for it. A drop in visits after pollution declined in a city would dodge many of the variables in question - if it was already urbanized and specialized then it would drop more. I may be unduly cynical about the Ivy Leagues but I suspect those examples were 'clickbait' chosen for provocativeness over soundness.

That isn't to say that there is never a link between pollution and negative mental health outcomes. It is abundantly clear that lead poisoning is linked to dumb aggression and crime for instance.
No. Maybe for some countries. But it's far from over.
More we move away from nature, more we are getting sick (mentally/physically/psychologically). It is not only air pollution other natural resources like polluted water , contaminated food/veggies [an alarming article i came across (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016041201...)] all are having some or other kind of serious effects on body.
By this logic, do politicians bear no responsibility for anything, either, since they are elected by voters who select and fund their governments?

> Just do hmac-sha256(data, secret) instead

Or use SHA3(secret || data), it was specifically designed to not have the pitfalls of sha2 which made HMAC constructions necessary along with being less computationally expensive. There's also KMAC built from keccak which has some advantages over simply hashing the concatenated key and message.

Tech vs. Journalism Inside the Nasty Battle Between Silicon Valley and Reporters
Read the article: they mention "sexual stereotypes", "the value women give to a movie" and much more hinting to social justice and outcome based equality. Males are just the "not females" class here, no shred of interest in them. Is this inclusive?

On this topic in general I think we're confusing bias for variance, in some degree.
Yep same. How does a bare repository make it simpler if you have to run a setup script anyway? A setup script can be as simple as this:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p ~/.config
ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/vim ~/.vim
ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/bashrc ~/.bashrc
ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -sf ~/.dotfiles/i3 ~/.config/i3

This is two steps instead of three. You can manage ~/.dotfiles like a normal git repository instead of the "dotfiles" command in the article. It isn't full of hidden files, you can put other scripts and stuff in it, you don't have to turn off showUntrackedFiles or add your whole home directory to gitignore, etc. It's so much simpler and easier to keep clean and organized. The only real downside is that to add a file you have to move it to ~/dotfiles and add a line for it to the script.

Side note, I get the benefit of publishing dotfiles for others to learn from, but why go through so much trouble to document how to install your dotfiles? Does anyone actually use the dotfiles of strangers? One time upon joining a company it was strongly recommended to me to just install another developer's dotfiles on my computer to get started. I had such a strong feeling of revulsion from this. Using someone else's dotfiles is like using someone else's toothbrush. I have my own, thanks.

It's good to look at others for ideas but for anyone new to versioning your dotfiles I would strongly recommend starting from scratch and doing the simplest thing that could possibly work. Hence a script like above.

You should! I switched from stow to chezmoi in the last year or so. Chezmoi is definitely an upgrade.
Last time I checked, every item one this list developed since the year 2000 was developed entirely or mostly in the US except one which was developed in Japan. Would love it if anyone knows if this is still the case as it wasn’t trivial for me to figure this out the one time I researched this.

Original submitter comment: Agreed.

However, I am a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen living in Croatia. I am culturally American.

The US had the expertise, technological capacity, and economic investment capacity to be able to eradicate the virus. Very few governments have similar resources and the ability to scale like the US government, which is quite unique. The issue was the political party that we had in place, with their recent neoliberalism. We also have an uncooperative public, that is unwilling to take temporary pain to minimize a ton more pain (from the virus) for the future.

Croatia actually has great public health infrastructure, and also has a cooperative public that follows public health advice and orders. We also have brave politicians (a lot of them were officers in the Croatian Homeland War) that are willing to take bold, unpopular political risks. They will take one for the team, if that is what it takes.

Early on in the pandemic, Croatia came very close to eliminating the virus, and was rated by Oxford as having the strictest government response (I believe in its first review/publication of the metric?). You could not leave your neighborhood without a digital pass issued by the government, which was only given out for absolutely necessary reasons (e.g. medical care). That’s right: the Croatian police had each neighborhood cordoned off and barricaded, so you could not effectively leave without a digital pass (attempting to illegally leave would mean a big fine!). Croatia also had 30 days of food and supplies for all of its citizens in a government warehouse. Pricing was fixed for critical supplies such as food, and still is, which helps prevent panic buying. Also, if you test positive for corona, you will be issued a rješenje (a government administrative decision) ordering you to quarantine for 14 days. Besides being very cooperative, Croatians would not think of breaking quarantine, as the vast majority cannot afford to. The first violation is a 1,000 Euro fine. The second violation is a 16,000 Euro fine. Oh yeah, the police will stop by your apartment multiple times randomly to check on you to see if you are actually quarantined.

Croatia failed because they chose tourist season over attempting to eradicate the virus.

The asset either has value, or not, depending on how you use it to extract value.

Let's say I have a car. Its value is in getting me to the beach. It has x value to me. Someone else sees the car and imagines getting to work, making money as an uber driver and so on. If his perceived value is higher than my value then its likely we can find a price to agree on.

In the same way a business has value according to current revenue and profits. You may have unutilised assets with potential, but that raises the question of why the value is unrealised.

In other words, buyers pay for what is, not potential. They look for potential they can exploit, but (except in rare cases) they don't _pay_ for potential, since that is their profit. (and if the potential is in fact an illusion that would be a loss.)

If you feel an asset has potential, then by all means exercise that potential, increase the profits, and the business value.

(aside: sometimes an asset has value that a buyer is uniquly able to realise, that you cannot. In this case expect around 25% of the actual value to figure into the purchase price.)

I am autistic, my brother is too...I was raised by my self mostly (grandparents were guardians, but no rules/etc)...he had an IEP, people were aware he was "different" and it shows in his behavior now. I didn't go far in school after H.S. - but decided to learn to code and get a job programming. Paid off greatly.

My brother finished a degree in college, and lives with mom, and works as a stock-boy though he has a similar degree as my career in digital design, etc.

She cut his food for him last time I saw him when I was like 22, we went out to dinner...he seemed embarrassed but just let her do it.

I left home at 22, got married at 25, had kids at 38, found out I had ADHD and Autism at 38. I presumed I might, because a lot of people with it told me I did, and I guess it makes sense in retrospect...

Sure there's a lot of more severe cases, but most people with autism, you'd really not notice they had it...I don't give a shit about Musk, I used to be a fan, but lately he's become a bit of a jerk, so not a fan-boy any longer....I couldn't say with a surety he really is one, or just wants to pretend he's part of the self-proclaimed "autists" of WSB fame as his "group".

My point: The borderlines like myself, my son, my brother... I wonder if it's better we just hide in the cracks or something and blossom on our own than be stigmatized by IEPs, "oh you poor autistic reject of society"... my son is super smart, he's a freaking sponge, he just sometimes has outbursts, quirks, raging tempers, or the world becomes "too loud"... I get that too. I still have what feel like 2-year old overwhelming tantrums that bubble up when I'm over-stimulated...

I've thrown a Wendy's Frosty at the wall in one of my previous homes because I was upset about something... (not the first time either).

I got therapy and found out ways to cope with it as an adult, we had my son in therapy and they were using a dog whistle and training him with treats like he was fucking pavlov's dog....we fired the therapists pretty dang quick.
Does the actual machine code doing computations really differ that much based on the OS? I'd guess the differences are just that you call different libraries and maybe a different calling convention, but nothing that would impact code running single-threaded without preemptions much.

in the late 1990s I ran into GCC c++ template issues. I reached out to the ML and I got the reply that those were fixed in the cygnus version, which I could buy. I'd get the fixed source then.

and several GNU projects, too, had the source to future releases only accessible to approved members and closed circles.

rms was very clear that the license meant: once you got the tech, you had the right to also get the source. If that meant to pay for the tech, that was perfectly fine. freedom. not free beer.
This is actually the best description of JWT for dummies that I've found so far.
I am not sure if it would have been unprecedented but the Chinese government knew what the reality of the virus was from what they observed in Wuhan - they just didn’t let the rest of the world know, and the WHO didn’t want to contradict the CCP’s claims (see the Business Insider link in parent comment). This delayed travel bans issued by other nations, such as Trump’s ban (issued on Jan 31). China didn’t stop international flights themselves until late March (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/blogs/Whathappensif/how...).

As I used the wrote the word 'unethical' I knew it was sort of the wrong choice. At best it is unclear and lacks substance. The logical argument explicitly phrased would have been:

> Plaid's behavior works against the social norms that the majority of the tech community supports; in this case it deviates from the norm of keeping login information private.

But actually after re-reading the article, everything seems perfectly fine. The number of participants was only 12 who were all related in some fashion to Plaid employees & everything was pretty well disclosed. So the updated logical argument would be:

> Plaid's actions were limited in scope such that it had little chance of undermining norms regarding account login security. The purpose behind their actions was to increase the interoperability of their software and other software which is seen as a legitimate and net-positive goal in the software community.
Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I had thought this was thousands of employees filing a petition against some random IC, maybe a first level manager, which I hope we can agree would be a lot more disturbing.

Fuck the bread - fuck the position. Times are [always] changing, you should re-evaluate everything you were so convinced about. You can make something else, you can be something else, or maybe you don't need it to begin with.

Watch movements are mechanical software. They move around information. They’re algorithms for turning a constant mechanical force into seconds/etc/a representation of the passage of time. Convert linear force into rotational force with an acceleration of 6 radians per second, etc.
This was very early in the pandemic, I doubt that many people had masks early, and the problem of people hoarding was very real and medical professionals were having a lot of difficulty acquiring PPE.

I think it was a difficult situation, I don't think they handled it the best they could have, but the response (in the context of massive amounts of hoarding) was understandable.

I know that this will not be a popular take here.
Never bought a PMS5003, couldn't find any real data suggesting it was better. The only indication I had was the PMSA003 was newer, so I ran with it.

I've had one running 24/7 for 9 months now with no issues. I checked the accuracy outdoors relative to PurpleAir sensors in the area and they were with a percent or two which was pretty close for such a simple experiment.

Why is "preventable" even a meaningful label for a pandemic. All it means is that it wasn't inevitable, like death. It's like saying that you could have won a game you lost, if only you had played better.
It's hard to take your question as genuine based on how you are engaging those who respond.

For starters, you're making baseless assumptions about those involved without providing and receipts.

For example, how do you know people were looking for things to be offended by vs people simply googling their soon to be boss who found some very concerning things in the process and raise their (quite legitimate) concerns through the proper channels?

Unfortunately that's the reality for a bunch of business. Google has an interest to encourage companies to pay for their own brand terms. I cant see it going away, for a decade+ google has been reducing people ability to manage campaigns and they lump more together so its a 'we'll manage that for you' enviroment.

That said make sure you are paying bottom dollar as best you can to win these KWs. Keep it separate from other generic business campaigns as much as possible. Make sure your using exact matches etc and not just broad/phase and see how low you can push down specific terms and rank.

Depending on the word itself , if it is unique you might want to take it to a regulator for discussion. Google must like to avoid this type of attention and while low odds you may get lucky. Adwords in general is seriously over due so greater attention in their updates.

Also there always a rebrand/cloned product option.

I wasn't sure what you mean by "This is causing us to pay a high price for traffic we've already paid for" is this in a return visitor thing searching your name and then going to competitors? I guess you have to make sure your taking advantage of a visitors time while you have them with details capture and social etc so you can engage organically.
