> Just the extra $300 per week that people were getting is causing them to be dissuaded from subjecting themselves to the bottom tier of jobs

Giving people money that you take away if they work dissuades them from taking jobs, especially jobs that net them the same or less than they get without working.

That doesn’t really prove anything about how giving people money that you don’t take away if they work effects their willingness to work.
Very sad to see an alternative view point downvoted. I've used professionally Linux, Windows and macOS, and I agree with your assessment.

Issues I have with macOS dev I don't have with WSL 2 or native Linux:

- crappy Docker performance. Need hacks such as NFS mounts.

- case insensitive filesystem. I had to create a special volume for MySQL on a case-sensitive version of HFS or some client projects would fail with random errors

- I'm not a fan of Homebrew.

- BSD coreutils are not as good as GNU's (YMMV)

- it might be a certified UNIX™, but the OS fights you if you try to work outside /Users or /usr/local. Changing a conf file in /etc means losing any modification on the next OS update.

- very definite feeling the machine isn't my own (SIP, Gatekeeper)

These days my OS of choice is Windows, and my second choice is Linux. macOS is great for any other task which isn't gaming or working as a full stack engineer.
What knowledge would that be? At least in these Catholicism-dominated parts, that knowledge seems to look something like "you better watch it because you're a sinner and might end up burning in hell, except that Jesus saved you because he loves you, but for some reason despite being saved you are still a sinner and might end up burning in hell". You kind of sound like that's not the premise you mean.
Quantity vs quality.

Discord/Facebook/Twitter users are discussing gaming and pop culture. IRC users were discussing how to build OSS software and communities.

Obviously its not as absolute as that, and Slack and Discord are both making inroads into what was once IRCs territory of coordinating small groups of remote thought-leaders, but looking at the raw numbers doesn't tell the whole picture of IRC's influence and importantce.
actually median savings are at all time highs for the average person. thanks to stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment and also shutdowns preventing people from spending money even if they wanted.
If I hypothesize that a blue Honda Civic was the origin of space, time and the known universe, physical evidence that blue Honda Civics exist does absolutely nothing to confirm or refute my hypothesis.
Perhaps this is a narrow view of ownership that will be expanded by NFTs (or, perhaps not - let’s see in a couple years).

I don’t see it all that different than purchasing and therefore owning a conceptual Sol LeWitt artwork, ie: a few written instructions on a scrap of paper, that (eg: if it is lost) can be simply re-written to restore the work.

Your requirements (ability to transfer and view an artwork) are met by many on-chain projects, eg: see Autoglyphs.

Gas is up because of the recent pipeline shutdown.

Grocery prices have been rising since the start of the pandemic. Far more people are now accustomed to cooking at home. Anecdotally, I am one of them. I buy at least twice as many groceries as I did pre-pandemic and that is not going to change. Also the pandemic is still in full force internationally, especially in places where the US sources major food imports.

Clothing is up because commerce with the Chinese textile industry was shut down during the pandemic. It will take at least another year before clothing prices are restored.

Notice that the massive spikes in real estate prices are not even mentioned in the article. This is a propaganda piece. It cherrypicks items that poor people depend on in order to promote backlash against redistribution.

On what planet? I think the actions were reasonable given the circumstance. Taking a position of outrage because some perceived red-tape wasn't followed, that's unreasonable.

Nobody suffered any real harm. None of this is a huge deal, but people want to play victim.
Perhaps it's only because of Knuth's books, but I've always liked the fonts in the Computer Modern series.

Note that the plain serif font in Computer Modern is a beautiful font for high resolution screens or printing, but has thin serifs not as suitable for low resolution at small font sizes.

I mean, you're totally free to blaze your own development workflow trail. Even better if you can help in the ongoing clearing and paving of the less-used trails. But when someone complains that a less-used trail is rocky, it's gonna be hard for everyone on the golden brick road to avoid suggesting taking their route... especially if it's leading to the same destination.

And yes, that destination does include production.
Can't really vouch for Netflix's UX. I'd believe other platforms are better based on my experience with Netflix.

Major personal gripes:

1. No watch history. Have to visit the web, dig into account settings to view it, having to click through 5 items at a time!

2. Content added to your list is displayed randomly, not by date added. No option to sort with various standard parameters such as aforementioned date added, popularity, year released, genre, etc.

3. Licensed content disappearing with not so much as a "we know you saved this to watch at some point but it's no longer available". Instead you're left second guessing yourself as to whether you suffer from dementia or not. (I get the business aspect of this, but still!)

4. Suggests content you've already watched and/or rated multiple times. At times recommends said show or movie immediately after watching/rating it.

5. Originals have trailers. Other content sometimes has trailers but most licensed content does not despite said trailers being available elsewhere for free. Most (all?) content used to show trailers but that's recently changed. (My guess is trailers convert better so you're more likely to watch original content)

6. No ratings history. Tangential to #1 I guess.

7. Can't click through to 'Coming Soon' titles to explore synopsis, trailers, cast, etc. Even for shows with prior seasons available; have to first search to access. To exasperate frustration, releasing soon titles are shown in searches where you can't do anything besides stare at a thumbnail.

Pretty sure I have other issues with their UX but these are the most irritating.

Adding $10 Trillion should have created a great deal of inflation - much more than we see. Therefore, if it were not added, we probably would see much worse than no inflation - we would see significant deflation. That's far more ruinous than mild inflation is.
> blaming them because they sold a product happily used to improved our quality of life seems silly.

"Blame" isn't really the important part here, the important part is enacting corrective action for harm done.

Even if they hadn't conducted a misinformation campaign, Shell profited by causing great harm. As a purely financial entity, without introducing any morality or ethics, they owe the financial damages they have incurred, and perhaps their customers too. Though it's somewhat rare for a customer to be responsible for a product's negative effects, especially when the company profitting off the sale vociferously denies that the harm exists!

But it's important to note that Shell isn't even being asked to pay back the debt they have incurred. They are simply asked to reduce the harm they are enacting, with nine years to change.

This is such a trivial ask in light of the economic harm that Shell has wrought upon their customers, and more importantly, the entire world.
China emits more CO2 than the rest of the *developed world combined.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy/china-emits...

There fixed it for you.

China get's a free pass on all global warming initiatives while America get's deindustrialized and shift to china to simply escape the carbon regulations.

So not only do we not fix global warming, we give as a gift to china industries critical to the survival of this country.

The lack of outrage of this shows you that the media is complicit in this.
In America, you could have a product that saves 1000 lives but kills 1, and you'll get your pants sued off for the one.

In the video they say that they animated the high poly golem mesh using their new animation tools and they are certainly marketing it as 'zbrush directly to engine'. I'm curious how they went about texturing that massive mesh though and how well it works with humans where muscle deformation is important (I'd imagine the answer is "it doesn't").

Other package management systems do one or two of the following things, but I haven't found any that can do all three at once, other than pkgsrc:

1) have good availability of pre-built binary packages for most platforms

2) facilitate building of packages directly from source, whether on non-mainstream platforms / architectures, and / or with or for the purpose of non-default package options

3) unprivileged builds / installations, packages rooted anywhere in filesystem, completely self-contained dependencies

Having to use more than one package management system because one or the other doesn't do one of these things can be a real pain, and can make maintenance rather difficult.
> nothing will beat simply Google searching a topic and typing "reddit" afterwards

This is so true and I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this. I also do this with “forum” at the end of each search nowadays. There’s something very truthful about these opinions and discussions that I find hard to describe. I think I trust these opinions more because they tend to speak from their own experience which is not always one of expertise, but rather of someone like me.

When deciding on getting x vs y, a Reddit post from 5 years ago with even just 10 upvotes suggesting x gives me way more confidence than the majority of reviews.
"Epidemiologic studies and case studies provide clear evidence of a causal association between exposure to benzene and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia and also suggest evidence for chronic nonlymphocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia." [1]

> No customer wants to spend X on Shudder, Y on Netflix, and Z on Prime, plus Hulu, HBO, and your cable/satellite fee either. Paying 200 GBP/USD a month is utterly absurd.

When we’re done talking about the quantity of movies, let’s talk about quality.

If an awesome movie goes to the cinema, like Twilight, you’ll be able to watch Werewolf on Netflix. With abysmal plot and acting. If you type Mission Impossible, you’ll certainly get Suits.

The search is so abysmal, always suggesting the same 40 series on and on, that people exchange numeric codes which allow them to discover new categories (but half the titles will be already seen). A/B testing probably shows that after seeing a title for 6 weeks and dodging it, you end up watching it, because, there’s only that.

It’s not that I don’t want to pay $40 a month for 4 services, it’s that even at that price, I still can’t watch the quality movies.

And let’s not even start with ideology-pushing in movies.
Who is the target customer for this?
Proto is latin for primitive and/or precursor. Protomolecule also sounds like something a scientist would come up with if they were trying to expand their research funding and had a fickle investor (i.e. Mao).

So while protomolecule sound like something out of the Power Rangers, it's an oddly plausible term.
>Black people sold other black people to white people.

Slavery was banned in the major kingdoms in Africa, the slave trading minority were empowered, funded, and armed by foreigner traders. They were able to take control of a large portion of the continent this way.

Just like opium trading was banned in China, the drug trading minority were empowered, funded, and armed by foreigner traders...etc

Much of the 'slavery' in Africa was actually mislabeled, it is better described as 'human adoption'. These so called slaves lived and ate in the same house as 'owners', had wives/children (sometimes more than the 'owner'), were not forced to work, and would intermarry with the adoptive family freely. Many rose to prominence and wielded tremendous power/influence in the families/communities/tribes they were adopted into. This form of 'adoption' (which includes adults) is still common in war torn countries in Africa where families are broken apart and family members lost prematurely.

In America, the modern day equivalent would be going to a homeless tent city, moving some of the individuals into your home and sharing resources.

Chattel slavery was considered abhorrent and only arrived in certain parts of the continent after a certain point.

There were also POWs that were treated poorly and initially they were the people sold to foreign traders... preferable to leaving enemies of a tribe in jail, which posed a security risk and caused many other problems.

"The black people sold black people" line is popular in the US because it sidesteps the details and on some level freed slave owners and their descendants from moral/social burden and guilt. This retort was/is also useful in denying the case for reparations when African Americans raised/raise it.

>Yeah but coronaviruses don’t mutate as rapidly as flu viruses, the vaccine from last year will protect against next year’s coronavirus.

All RNA viruses mutate in the same fashion because of the way RNA polymerase functions. Its close to a statistical certainty. The absolute number of mutations is not strictly causal. What is relevant is whether the mutation(s) is beneficial (more internal spread while escaping host immune system) and whether this local variant has the fitness to dominate and spread externally.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you - can you explain what you mean ?

Prices aren't up because people are bidding more for finished goods. Prices are up because commodity costs are up, so the inputs to production cost more. Those costs are passed onto end consumers, to the extent they can afford them, or they are passed on in the reduction in the availability of goods.

From "Rowhammer for qubits: is it possible?" https://amp.reddit.com/r/quantum/comments/7osud4/rowhammer_f... :

> Sometimes bits just flip due to "cosmic rays"; or, logically, also due to e.g. neutron beams and magnetic fields.

> With rowhammer, there are read/write (?) access patterns which cause predictable-enough information "leakage" to be useful for data exfiltration and privilege escalation.

> With the objective of modeling qubit interactions using quantum-mechanical properties of fields of electrons in e.g. DRAM, Is there a way to use DRAM electron "soft errors" to model quantum interactions; to build a quantum computer from what we currently see as errors in DRAM?

> If not with current DRAM, could one apply a magnetic field to DRAM in order to exploit quantum properties of electrons moving in a magnetic field?

> [...] are there DRAM read/write patterns which cause errors due to interference which approximate quantum logic gates? Probably not, but maybe; especially with an applied magnetic field (which then isn't the DRAM sitting on our desks, it's then DRAM + a constant or variable field).

> I suppose to test this longshot theory, one would need to fuzz low-level RAM loads and search for outputs that look like quantum gate outputs. Or, monitor normal workloads which result in RAM faults which approximate quantum logic gate outputs and train a network to recognize the features.

Thought I'd ask this here as well.

Quantum tunneling was the perceived barrier at like DDR5 and higher densities FWIU? Barring new non-electron-based tech, how can we prevent adjacent electrons from just flipping at that gate grid gap size?

Other Quantum-on-Silicon approaches have coherence issues, too
It does for the low paying jobs that rely on people not having a choice.

They already live on the bare minimum, but they have to clean toilets to get it. Now the government says you can live on the bare minimum, but you do not have to clean toilets.

So now you have to raise wages to entice people to clean toilets.

You are correct that it is not the exact same situation, but I think there would be even more disruption of the same kind the more you increase the government assistance.
That’s why you need to look at all-cause mortality. Trying really hard to prevent one cancer may create enough other issues to outweigh your efforts.

The benzene and sunblock ingredients aren’t just absorbing into the skin, but into the whole body. The evidence is good that they prevent skin cancer, but…

The evidence on sunblock improving all-cause mortality isn’t clear.

Here’s one study that didn’t find a mortality difference between daily and discretionary sunblock use:

It doesn't follow that viral load at infection matters because the immune system takes a while to respond. You have a built in assumption that immune response is exactly the same whether there is 1 (arbitrary unit) virus vs. 50 (arbitrary unit) virus. I'm not sure that is true. I could imagine the body starting a heavy immune response at 100 virus--which would mean the difference between 1 and 50 might have little affect on outcome.

Your paper is about viral load at diagnosis--not infection. Diagnosis happens after your immune system has been fighting a while.

Yes. Your first compile may take an hour. It took about an hour and a half to get to a running sample game. You get all the source code for what goes on the target machine. It's here, on Github.[1]

I tried to load the demo used for the UE5 videos, but that's only loadable through the "Epic Games Launcher", which is Windows-only. It's apparently possible to bash that into running under Wine, but I don't have time to make that work right now.

For those who don't know what the deal is with Unreal Engine, there's no charge until you get the first million dollars in revenue. Then they take 5%. The nature of the game industry is that the top 50 or so titles generate almost all the revenue. So, rather than bothering with restrictive licenses for all the little guys, Epic just waits until a successful game starts getting media coverage and shows up on the industry charts, then has their billing department contact the game company.
