Apparently this seems to be an ongoing and contentious internet debate lol. There's even a wiki article on the subject.[1] The main three arguments appear to be that virii 1) is grammatically incorrect Latin, 2) virus has historically never had a latin plural "as it is a mass noun" and 3) it's a neologistic folk etymology.

While I may agree with the grammatical merits [1)] I'm not convinced (yet). The second argument [2)] that it's never had a historical plural doesn't hold up. The field of virology is much more recent so the need for a plural 'virus' didn't exist at the time.

And 3) is literally how words are formed. If a term used frequently enough it eventually becomes a word regardless of the original grammatical correctness. The term even has 175 years of precedent.[2] As cactus has the plural cacti it's non-obvious why the same doesn't hold true for virus.

Yikes. Just because the Wuhan market didn’t sell bats at the time of the outbreak doesn't mean the virus came from a lab.

> A front end developer should be aware which technology they can use given their audience’s clients. A front end stack that targets an audience with modern clients will be structured a lot differently then for audience that might have legacy clients. If you suspect your audience might use legacy clients, you have to accommodate that by adding different tools and techniques to your code base.

If everyone wrote standards compliant code then the browser vendors and would be forced to update, and the web would be a more coherent place. Browsers that don't stay up-to-date would (rightfully) become quantifiably inferior products and people would likely stop using them if they couldn't render pages (their intended purpose). It's ridiculous that we have to keep compiling code to old standards so big corporate can save a few bucks not upgrading their computers and work stations.

To take a different path from the existing subthread: Do you also doubt the Kochen-Specker lemma? Quantum contextuality cannot be dodged just by denying Bell's version; you also have to show that Kochen and Specker got their linear algebra wrong.
There's less impermanence in becoming part of the "stack" (e.g. geometry, algebra, calculus, Kleene algebra, relational algebra, unix, C) or being an inspiration/predecessor of progeny (C again).

But that's real hard.

I agree with the "play" attitude having a sense of intrinsic value, regardless of newness, importance or usefulness.

> I never did that, but did file a complaint at your national Data Protection Authority? https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

Yea, it got forwarded to the Dutch authority because they're based in Holland. It took almost 2 years for the entire process. Basically the dutch couldn't really care and didn't understand the techincal facts of the matter and just believe Github's legal team when they said code is not personal data without knowing each commit has my name and email. The account has my photo and name. And that I was doing a personal data request and export request. Because my national agency had to forward it I couldn't file an appeal because my national agency just forwarded it and didn't actually do anything or make any decision they just relayed the decision.

For me, the key take away was I asked for all information they had that was relating to me. They said no and the dutch authories thought that was a-ok.

I think a good compromise here is to publish your results (the truth must out), but to be really clear upfront what this means (in this case nothing) in the context of any hot topics of the day that might want to jump on your research and misuse it.
Personal opinion I guess. I really liked the whole series, including the ending.
It changed for me with my first daughter too.

Before that, crying/arguing kids (of e.g. friends) always gave me headaches and i never knew what to talk with them or how to interact.

Also when my wife told me she was pregnent, all i felt was 'Ok, now the ... starts' - i did not enjoy the news.

But in hospital, when my daughter was born and i sat in a chair holding here sleeping on my arms for the first time - it changed 180°.
I constantly had a smile on my face and felt warmth and the need to protect here.

I also enjoy beeing around other peoples kids now and i am more open to "little jokes" to make them smile.

So it seemed to be a biological barrier for me, which i needed to be taken over by my daughter to switche to "parent-mode".

It is also quite funny to see the faces of colleagues (without kids) and how they react to kids-stories. It was the same for me before i had my own.

I watched the second Hobbit movie in 48fps and it was a horrible experience. Everything looked fake, which is how I imagine it actually looked in real life. Props seemed made of plastic, makeup looked like makeup, etc.

At my local hardware store this saved me $40 and a whole bunch of plumbing and a trip back to the store when the seasoned veteran simply asked what i was trying to do. The money, meh, saving the time and frustration priceless.

The best help is when someone asks you what you are trying to accomplish instead of what isle something is in. It's why you go back to that store and learn when certain employees are working. To the young workers, i totally get that your underpaid and not your career path or one at all.

I'd like to remind you again of HN's guidelines about trying to respond to the
strongest interpretation of others' comments. Not because it's a rule that must
be blindly followed, but because I think that it's a sensible bit of advise that
promotes reasonable and useful conversation.

Of course I'm bringing the guideline up because I don't think you're responding
to the strongest interpretation of my comments. I think you are instead
responding to a very weak interpretation that only suits very low-quality
debate where the point is to claim a moral high ground, rather than to learn
anything new.

A few examples. You say that the following sentence is "very dismissive":

> The article makes a very strenuous effort to make a point about something something racism in rock that sounds a bit boring and trite to my ears

You don't say who it is dismissive against. My comment is dismissive - it is
dismissive of the article, not any other person or group. In your previous
comment you were concerned about my stance against black musicians. My comment
above says nothing about black musicians, or black folks in general.

You say that the following comment comes across as judgemental:

> Why Rihana and Beyonce, rather than a new Jimi Hendrix? Female, even. Why is Rock 'n' Roll pretty much dead to black kids, nowadays?

You don't say against whom my comment is judgemental. My comment is judgemental
against Beyonce and Rihana, because I don't like their music. But you are
concerned about my behaviour with respect to all black musicians. You have to
make a great big leap from Beyonce and Rihana to all black musicians, for
example Fela Kuti would probably be unhappy if you compared him to Beyonce.
Maybe not.

Finally:

>> And specifically about Beyonce, I don't really see how you can watch this video
and then assert she ain't punk rock as fuck:

I'm afraid on this, I'll have to disagree. I see a bunch of people, men and
women, shaking their asses. That's not my idea of punk. My idea of punk is young
anglo kids getting wasted and pretending to be rebellious. You pointed to the
X-Ray Spex. Punk of their era was 80% male, 99% white. I don't even begin to see
how Beyonce shaking her money maker is punk, except of course that the famous
punk rock bands of the '80s famously went for the money grab in their later
years.

Edit: to avoid further confusion, I should point out I think punk is and has always been 99% rubbish. Same as pop.
That's when you have two separate controllers.

For subprocessors it's different - they should send you back to the top-level controller for the data request. The subcontroller might not even know which data they have is actually connected to you, eg AWS is not going to figure out the schema of an RDS instance. But the controller is required to have an agreement with the subcontroller to be able to get them to cooperate to processing your requests.

(that's partly what all those data processing agreements that subprocessors and controllers have to sign are about)
Self reporting can be problematic if a company is looking to be acquired. I prefer to use 3rd party monitoring tools. The paid ones like 1k-eyes are great, but there are some free ones like DownDetector [1] that sometimes help paint a picture albeit not perfect.

Syslog "Hell"? Ever looked at SNMP?!

When a "standard" sticks around this long and needs to support so many legacy devices things can get a bit messy. At least syslog is human readable, while things may not be as machine parsable as you'd like, the info you need is usually only a few greps away.
Side note: just recently noticed that many folks are using the word envisage in the place where traditionally they've used the word envision. I always preferred envision too.

BUT! There is a difference, according to Grammarist (https://grammarist.com/usage/envision-envisage/). Envision is to view something in a hypothetical, imaginary manner. Envisage means to view something in a more concrete, practical manner.
Suppose at some point hypothetically, Moz Foundation donations exceeded Google's payments. Presumably they would reshuffle things in order to fund Firefox's development, too. While Firefox is the most important thing Mozilla does in my eyes, I also like their non-Firefox work, so I'm happy to fund them. If at some point those donations outpaced Google, or the stability of Google's funding comes into question for some reason, then I'd like to show there are other funding models available. So I donate. How they spend the money in the meantime is up to them.
This is pretty similar to what is described in Stanisław Lem's "The New Cosmogony" (a work of fiction, included in the book "A Perfect Vacuum").

Suppression of real data is no good.

Publication of a pre-print that appeals to the use of misinformation for the sole purpose of publicity is another thing. Certainly timing of this could have been better especially in this current covid world where we now use pre-print as an almost equivalent to peer-reviewed.

You'll find nearly every time they use that.
My point is that the true believers do want to eventually buy groceries with cryptocurrency.

My point is that this conversation is unfair:

Person A: I've just invented a new currency! I think it has better intrinsic properties than USD.

Person B: Well, I can't buy groceries with it right now, so it sucks.

Similar vein:

Person A: I've invented a new thing called the lightbulb. I think it will revolutionize lighting.

Person B: It's more expensive than oil lamps and electrifying buildings would be a massive undertaking. Lightbulbs suck.

Bitcoin wouldn't function as a store of value if it didn't have an underlying use case. This is true of all stores of value - with gold it's shiny and useful, with cash you can pay taxes, with a home you can live in it, etc.

In Bitcoin that use case is wealth transfer that is uninhibited by law.

That essentially makes it kind of like an index tracker for the underground economy.
No, exercise actually doesn't work. Professor Noakes, (now) a proponent of the ketogenic diet, became a type 2 diabetic while running ultra marathons. Back then he was propagating a high-carb diet as ideal for athletes.

Sleep is essential, yes. Get screened for sleep apnoe if you have any reports of snoring. Sleep apnoe messes with insulin resistance.

The most effective way is fasting, at least 16 hours a day, called "intermittent fasting", and ideally a few days up to a few weeks regularly. Fasting absolutely demolishes insulin resistance.
This really gets at the heart of why I have very little allegiance and essentially no desire to donate to my alma mater: Why would I care about or donate to a business that really doesn't care about me individually besides $$$ signs? Sure, I patronized them for four years of my life, but I've done the same with In & Out for longer and you don't see me sending them a check for nothing. Much like In & Out, the positive memories of my alma mater were more so about the people I was with than the location or business proposition itself. Ok, I'm ending this metaphor before it becomes too contrived...
Everyone here is failing to read between the lines.

Nobody in trucking gripes about limited working hours. The current hours per week available for work are more than enough to work at an unsustainable rate of sleep. What everyone bitches about is the electronic logging requirements that prevent them from cooking the books in order to account for delays that happen over the normal course of business. Because people can no longer cook the books they do other things that increase risk.

For political and optical reasons the DOT can't exempt them from e-logs to make their lives easier. So they just exempt them from all of it. They're basically saying "if you're gonna push yourselves we'd rather you cut the smart corner and work a 12hr day than drive around like maniacs trying to fit X hours of driving in a Y hour window."
I had a great time pairing with a few individuals from my past, and I'd describe the sessions as playing a coop game with friends. It was fun to team up and figure out a problem and build something; the shared joy of overcoming some hurdle.

Similarly had good experiences 'mob' programming, 7 of us in a conference room focused on building out some new thing. But again, it felt more like hanging out with friends and playing a coop game together.

I’ve always encourage pair programming solely as a team cross training exercise and only for short stints.

Aka - Bob built a system using tooling that is new to our team and unknown to anyone else. Bob needs to pair with Fred for a couple of hours so more than just Bob will have hands on experience with the tech.

That’s my only requirement because in my experience it’s better than documentation and it’s a requirement to make sure Bob can take vacations.

Everybody will be able to figure it out eventually, but if something is urgent we don’t have until eventually.

This theory of governance is currently being developed and tested on the EOS public blockchain.

I had an old metal very well regarded 50 mm prime, 1.4 f.

I also had a modern plastic 18-55 mm kit lens, high f (starting at 3.5).

But the colors on the modern zoom lens were so much better. Hard to explain, but they just looked better, kind of like a DSLR photo has "better" colors than a phone photo.

It was very confusing, I was expecting differences in sharpness maybe, but not in colors.

> Often, it's very hard to understand how the code fits into the bigger picture of the system.

Progressively and now quite frequently in the field, usage of 3rd party code is formulaic. Progressively, as demand for software has increased, an equally downward pressure is brought to bear on value placed on contemplation.

Yes. This is a thoughtful approach and would reduce the burden for the thoughtful programmer.
