I like the style of the font, it's super evocative. What I don't like is how hard it is to read (kerning way too tight) when used anywhere other than the logotype. It's not illegible, but I definitely need to concentrate.
I believe comparing COVID to the flu is a pretty apples or oranges comparison, as is comparing vaccine benefits. COVID is much more contagious than the flu, hence why it's critical more people get vaccinated. Also, continuing to let COVID spread increases the chance of more mutation outside of the current variants that could circumvent both vaccine-induced immunity and natural immunity. Combined with the more contagious nature of the disease, this could essentially trigger a second pandemic. Vaccinating and bolstering immune response is critical to preventing such an outcome.

> What about those who cannot receive the vaccine for health reasons?

This is why herd immunity is so important. For those healthy adults that are able to get vaccinated, should get vaccinated. When herd immunity is reached, those who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons are protected by everyone else.
I love that they didn't kill the previous logo. Just cleaned it up a bit, but it's still the same as it's quite recognizable. Font is a mess, but they'll likely change it soon as nearly no one likes it.
Exactly, nobody makes a fuss about packaging engineers because the milk cartons they design cannot stop shrapnel. Making a design that is good enough for the users' expectations while being significantly faster and cheaper to manufacture than the alternative ones is what engineers do.
More likely is nobody at Valve cares enough to actually monitor or respond. There's plenty here about their bizarre corporate structure which really falls flat at critical times.
I am ruthless with my tabs. I always close them all at the end of my day.

Just like Inbox 0, I aim for Tab 0. Serenity is the reward for this small disciplined effort.

Close them. They're not going anywhere. You can always find the links back tomorrow. An entire multi-million industry wants you to find them back as easily as possible.

You might even find better ones when you start fresh.

It's just your loss aversion instincts kicking in[1]. It's how your brain is wired. But we live in the golden age of information retrieval. You don't need to hoard tabs. Your brain just doesn't know.

Trust me, if you can. Close them.

It will be ok.

Yes it doesn't look good for Japan which also have one of the oldest populations in the world.

God - what a random diatribe backed with no data.

If we are doing anecdotes

The staff on-site or asking to come back on-site at my job are all the go-getters. Seriously. It's the folks you least care about coming onsite because they are on all the time at home too, work weekends etc.

The staff you have to follow-up on to know what is going on - radio silence and when there is talk of coming back to the office have extreme concerns over COVID (even though they take time to travel during the pandemic and office will be 100% vaccinated only in an area with < 1.5% positive test rates and < 3 per 100K infection rates).

We've seen a pretty big split like this in the schools as well. A bunch of more energetic seeming charter and other schools - full bore for months with lots of creative solutions. The public schools - closed and remote only education. I guess those heads of school that are avoiding remote are "bad" - total BS.

Let's stop with these garbage headlines and articles unless someone has some real data.

I am skeptical about FBI but 1969 was over 50 years ago and that was under Hoover. Different FBI now. They have jurisdiction over copyright issues so no need for any international intrigue. Maybe there actually is one here.
I realize this may be a cynical take, but what if the goal is to prevent us from recording the cops?

Today the law is a nice friendly "dont put mugshots on the internet" and within a few years the actual practice of the law is you can no longer film a cop abusing his power because "perp hasnt been convicted, put your phone away"

I guess I have absolutely no trust. Any law our government passes is just part of long con to take away our liberties.

I realize this is a pessimistic hot take on what appears at face to be a good law.

That is probably one aspect of it for sure. I think the gaming industry itself might have problems with sharing because 0days in games could really mean no more purchases, at least for awhile, and even then you have lost momentum from your marketing. Also, for non-zero days, just bugs in general, look at No Man's Sky or even more recently Cyberpunk 2077, so much social backlash.
Marriage can be very easy and cheap. It can also be very big and expensive.

I liked my wedding, i invited my whole family and made sure they had a great time.

A friend divorced a few years back it was not a big deal to talk about it and the why.

Of course it can be messy but it probably depends on the people who married.

For me it was emotional and a mental step. Does a couple miss out on a potential relevant emotional experience?
It never seemed surprising to me to think that the disaster that has been high school and college from home might also be a problem for working from home. After all, one major difference between working from home and learning from home is that working relies on human interaction much more heavily than studying.

But no one seems to even bother disputing that college-from-home is an inefficient way to learn compared to in-person. It is practically a universally accepted fact. Meanwhile, the entire internet seems to rush to find flaws, no matter how minute, in any study that casts the faintest negative light on working-from-home.
I really want my tabs to just be emacs buffers.

Emacs has sooo many different tools to organize and operate on buffers, so different types of users can compose a workflow that works for them, including plain old tabs if they really want. And of course, extensibility, the most important feature imo

And you can do this now of course, with w3m or other plaintext browsers, but it's just not that comfy for most webpages these days. And there's emacs-webkit, but it's still a bit of a pita to install.

I still use qutebrowser for most things, and with i3/sway plus the save-session function, i can get hierarchy and persistence, and that seems sufficient for now...

I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the objections people have to "modern C++" when compared to Rust.

You say that it's not "tempting" to use less-safe constructs in C++ these days, but that's not the point. You are assuming a perfect C++ developer who never makes mistakes and always knows to use the proper, modern constructs, and will properly document any time that they absolutely must use a less-safe construct, and that documentation will never drift or go out of date.

That developer does not exist in any meaningful or useful way. Developers make mistakes. Developers don't always have completely up-to-date knowledge or understanding of what the correct, "modern C++" way is to do literally everything. A developer who genuinely does need to do something less safe may or may not document it, and anyone who comes by later and changes the code may not update the documentation accordingly.

The Rust compiler will not allow you to do unsafe things (absent bugs in rustc); attempting to do so is a compiler error. If you really must do unsafe things, you must surround that code in an unsafe block, which serves as documentation that must be kept up to date, or the code will not compile. Others can inspect your code and very easily decide if they want to use it based on how much unsafe code they are willing to accept.

I don't want a compiler that will only ensure certain kinds of correctness if I already know how to write things in the "correct way" (which has traditionally been a moving target in the C++ world). I want a compiler that will ensure those types of correctness always, and reject programs where it can't give me that guarantee. The C++ compiler will not do that, but the Rust compiler will.

> In modern C++ you get compile-time correctness by construction

No you don't! You only get this if you've written your code correctly! The entire point of "correct by construction, verified by the compiler" is that you cannot write the code in an incorrect way that the compiler will accept. And the C++ compiler absolutely will accept "old-school C++" that could be incorrect. Put another way, there is no C++ compiler that will only accept "modern C++" and reject "old-school C++". And even if someone were to try to write such a thing (I am skeptical it's possible), reasonable, knowledgeable C++ developers could easily disagree on what should and shouldn't be included.
I think the onus of childcare is on the parents, not society. If one is relying on family, friends, and society at large to raise their kids, I don’t think they should have had them in the first place.
This is an often neglected benefit of "Unlimited" plans. It changes the feeling of consuming. You have already paid so you may as well enjoy instead of asking "Do I really want to pay for this?" at every use.

From a technical point of view it is possible. Assuming that the payments were mediated by some party that party could issues statements like "this user has used their monthly allowance but they would pay". Assuming that this provider is widely trusted websites may treat this as a "real user" and allow the visit. (This is roughly how https://coil.com/ works.) Of course there are negative implications such as making it very difficult for new providers to get started.

You can also imagine some type of smart-contract where the subscription fee is split at the end of the day or month amongst the visited sites. Upon visit the sites just get a token for one share. Of course this would need to be very carefully designed to prevent abuse. (Example one malicious client splitting their subscription across millions of pages)
I suspect you're fed intravenously while sitting on your air
Modern C++ is what was in the Boost framework 15 years ago.</troll>

Joke aside, the STL grew in complexity and features to provide more compile-time constructs and to integrate more functional programming aspects.

For example: I've been told many times that in "modern C++" you don't need `new` nor `delete`.

There are smart pointers, std::array, std::optional, const-expressions, you'll find more and more "single-header" libraries (for JSON, an either monad, etc...), even modules[1].

It's like learning a new language. C++11, 14, 17 and 20 are completely different to C++03 while remaining backward compatible (a critical feature for C/C++ languages it seems).

Which effectively means bricking the devices of 9999 innocent users each time.

I need to read the article but your comment speaks to exactly the analysis I'd like to see: what was the productivity change among those with a stable WFH situation prior to COVID vs. during COVID, and how does that correlate with family status.

Personally, the biggest change for me in COVID WFH was not the remote meetings -- I already had plenty of those -- but it was the introduction of a second job: part-time Kindergarten teacher.

Thanks for this very short but compelling dystopian science fiction story. I'm sure it will haunt me for a while.
The quote is nonsense.

The term “high-conflict marriage” is subjective. If one wanted to make the stats for the two sets of kids equivalent, it’s trivial to do so by tweaking the definition of “high-conflict.”

It’s also meaningless without some data regarding the number of “high-conflict marriages.” To illustrate the absurdity, assume there is exactly 1 such marriage in the US; it would be silly to say, “the millions of kids of divorce are no better or worse than Mr. and Mrs. Jones two children!”

The author’s mention of this ‘statistical’ argument, in light of its vapidity, says more about the author than the topic.
Most NDAs do include prohibitions on either disclosure of information or use of information (for any purpose other than the contemplated transaction).

But some big SV companies refuse to include the second prong, which means they won’t tell anyone your secrets but are free to use them to squash you. Intel’s NDA is notorious for this.

You'd think they would use the scroll bar like text editors do on huge documents. Just jump back to that point and keep +/- several screens rather than the entire freaking buffer. I wrote that for a basic text editor that I wrote for fun and it wasn't actually hard and would open gigabyte size documents almost instantly because I was only ever loading about a megabyte of info rather than the whole stinking file.

One of the reasons dating sites like Match don't work easily worldwide is because there are too many variables. Local customs, society judging online dating, personal information that may work in one area but not another ("do you attend church on Sunday?", etc).

No. All I said is that the probability of the first door winning doesn't change. Which is true - it remains 1/3. The change in probabilities impact the other two doors, whose terminal values I listed (0 and 2/3).
>On the high seas of the Internet there is a thin line between pirates and state actors

maybe in as far as their capabilities go, but the important characteristic of a state actor is that retaliating against them is construed as a retaliation against the state that backs them. Darkside is very different to a state actor, as demonstrated here - retaliation has no significant geopolitical implications, so it can be swift and harsh.

I don't think that is a good distinction. Mechanical engineering was engineering long before it had todays tools and understanding of material (which is constantly expanding). Software engineering is driving forward the equivalent developments, but is just younger as a field.

Software development as a field does struggle with adopting these tools, but I think that's a matter of degree, not fundamental.

The roles are not as cleanly defined yet, what counts as engineering work and what as "just" implementation.

I'd say start by researching attachment theory^1 and attachment styles.

Here's the gist: Children need to form secure attachment bonds to their parents/caregivers at an early age. To the extent they don't get that, they form habits, assumptions, and adaptations to compensate. Those habits/assumptions/adaptations tend to persist (because we don't even realize we're doing them) and cause problems in close relationships in the future. By learning more about yourself you can start to see those patterns in your own behavior and learn to change them.

Beyond that I've found many of the emotional regulation exercises that are a part of CBT to be very helpful.

I've also found Enneagram to be very helpful in studying myself. It's not a particularly scientific framework, but it can be a helpful lens for identifying patterns of behavior, and realizing that other people are very different, with different assumptions, thoughts, and feelings, all of which are perfectly valid.

Thanks for pointing out that the upcoming Matrix threading model I linked to isn't the same as what Zulip has. I wasn't thinking about Zulip's model correctly.

After doing some research, I think you're right that the proposal won't immediately enable Zulip-style threading. Though, it seems like a small change on top of the linked MSC (Matrix Spec Change) proposal would enable Zulip-style threading.

If Matrix had an event type that created a "topic", that's all you would need. The linked MSC is very general and allows events to reference arbitrary parent and child events, and allows updating those parent and child relationships. If the parent is some kind of "m.topic" declaration event, maybe that would be enough.

It's also entirely possible that Zulip style threading doesn't even require that new event and I'm just not familiar enough with Matrix to see how.

---

Your points about how advanced the Zulip client is, though, are very true. It will take a ton of work for Element or some other Matrix client to catch up. You guys really built something impressive there.

I look forward to seeing what Zulip comes out with in terms of federation. It's a tough problem.
