I'm in the same boat. Work email is now hosted off-prem by microsoft and per microsofts suggestion, imap has been disabled

A few things to check out:

Outlook web client - Microsoft abuses it though if not hosted on-prem and it has a few major bugs if you don't use the default settings.

Evolution-ews is a version of the evolution email client that will work with exchange.

DavMail Gateway might be worth a look http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html

Owl for Exchange - a plugin for thunderbird that is supposed to be os independent.

You might also use alternativeto.net for more suggestions.
If you really wanted to give them a treat, you could do the "team bonding" stuff during normal work hours, rather than asking them to give up yet more of their personal time when they've already been overworked.

Maybe something like "We're playing hooky today, folks. We're all going to lunch and...we're not coming back to the office afterward."
Yes. Vietnam had experience in dealing with a possible pandemic before: SARS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Urbani

To quote wikipedia:

> Urbani realized that Chen's ailment was probably a new and highly contagious disease. He immediately notified the WHO, triggering a response to the epidemic (principally isolation and quarantine measures) that would end it within five months. He also persuaded the Vietnamese Health Ministry to begin isolating patients and screening travelers, thus slowing the early pace of the epidemic.

The minister didn't cover up anything, did anything they could to stop the new deadly virus. Urbani later died of SARS and was hailed as a hero: https://www.who.int/neglected_diseases/news/Fifteen_years_af...

Vietnam maybe is a third world country but they are very serious about deadly flu pandemic.

> But by the end of the two-hour meeting, the vice minister of health, Nguyen Van Thuong, had agreed to allow WHO to summon an international team of experts. He also promised to organize a task force at the ministry that would review the situation daily.

> It was, Brudon said, a "turning point."

> Vietnam's response contrasted with that of China, which for weeks tried to conceal the extent of its outbreak. But a health official in Vietnam, Le Thi Thu Ha, said her country made a simple calculation: "We needed that technical assistance," she said.

> ...

> That week, the Health Ministry set up a task force. Days later, a dozen epidemiologists and pathologists had arrived from Britain, the United States, Sweden, Germany, France and Australia.

They asked for help when they needed help, not saving face like China's handling of COVID in 2019.
Hey that's me! Wow it's nice to know that my old post/project is still being mentioned now :D

I'm no longer adding features to Life [1]. There were too many feature requests for something that I want to be simple. I'm still updating my own Life events [2] tho'

Two questions/notes:

1. You sort of use a striped-down Markdown(?) format, any reason for that? I use Markdown because it's also can be human-readable in some way, even though I don't really use a legit Markdown parser :P

2. Your date range format seems slightly different than mine. Maybe you need to document that somewhere :)

Statistical significance is a good measure of how sure we are there is a correlation, or in this case with an RCT, causation. But any layperson can look at a 3% effect and conclude, yeah, that's probably not that big of a deal. Or not, depending upon your preferences! No judgement. It's not something that requires a degree to determine, just an assessment of one's own values and the effect size in that context.
> There was nothing, militarily, keeping the US from executing a full scale ground invasion of Hanoi and decapitate the North Vietnamese regime.

hmmm, but then you say:

Sounds like a military impediment to me.
I think the name "big bang" does the idea a disservice. It's not an explosion moving out from a central point.

My popular-science understanding of this goes like this:

So Einstein has this cool theory where space and time don't work like we think they do - they turn out to be a unified geometry: spacetime.

Since we are very small and move very very slowly[1], our intuition for how spacetime works is way off. It works a lot different from what our slow experience intuitions suggest. And the pictures we draw ourselves in our imagination when we imagine all of space are way off.

Space can have a curvature [2]. The curvature basically means that things moving in the straightest lines that they can move closer together or further apart. This turns out to describe gravity well.

The mathematics is thorny, but when we make the simplest possible models of the whole universe (sort of like an ant modelling the earth as a sphere because he knows it has a curved surface) we find that the entire space has a beginning and that the space part of it has been growing larger since then.

So it's like a 2d ant living on an inflating balloon. At some point the balloon was a small "point" and everything on the surface of the balloon is busy "moving away" from everything else as the balloon expands.

The big bang is what we call the small hot part near the beginning when space was very small (even in our terms of experience)

[1] Natural speeds are fractions of the speed of light and natural distances are distances related to how far light travels in a unit of time suited to our perception.

So, to the moon is a good kind of distance if you live at a second kind of level of perception, and around the earth about 8 times a second is a natural speed.

Define “programmer”. Experience is incredibly important but applying it doesn’t imply writing code, and it would be a waste of time for someone with valuable experience to be writing a lot of arbitrary code.

I don’t write that much code anymore even for fun. But the little code I do write is because it absolutely needs to be state-of-the-art, which is only possible with deep experience. I’ve seen this with other programmers as well; as they get older they write far less code, but the code they write tends to be code that is critically important and only a small number of people have the experience and skill to write. They pick their code writing battles.

Meta (since it’s your site): 26px is waaaaay too large a font size for body text; I zoomed out to ⅔ before it was comfortable. Even with a comparatively small font like you’re using, I’d say never go past 20px, and I’d suggest 18px as a better upper limit (only to be applied on larger-than-mobile devices, too). Also since I’m writing, I strongly recommend against adjusting letter-spacing except for in all-caps text. (You’ve spaced headings out.) It just makes text uglier and harder to read; the designer did it the way they did for a good reason in almost all cases.

But the content I am enjoying!

Maybe? I vaguely remember webextensions not needing to do this. But I can't say that with certainty, because it might be that most websites didn't enable CORS so I never noticed, or I could just have the timeline mixed up in my head.

I don't think anything about webextensions requires this problem to exist. So if it is a problem with webextensions, it's a problem we've "chosen" to have. And browsers could fix this without drastically overhauling anything with extensions.

But I can not stress enough how much out of my depth I am commenting on this, my full knowledge is basically a couple days worth of research a year or two ago and some interaction on a bug report.
I think many people forget that it took until the Gulf War (90-91) to dispel those demons.
> statistical significance measures like the p-value are more epistemologically sound than any arbitrary rule of thumb-threshold on the size of the effect.

Keep in mind that the GP isn't saying the effect doesn't exist if it's in the single digits, but that it is inconclusive and/or insignificant. Insignificant in the human sense, not the statistical sense.

A 1% increase in this behavior? Irrelevant to almost everyone.

This, of course, is not even getting into the issue of the reproducibility crisis, much of which did rely on p-values. While I personally am happy to do p-tests, the skepticism of small effects is well founded. Were someone else to try to reproduce the effects and fail, the standard defense is that the results are sensitive to the methodology used. It's much easier to invoke that defense if your effect is 1% vs 20%.
The video is at the bottom of the article and yes, it's a group of black people attacking the Asian driver.

Have you watched any movies about the Vietnam War? Like Casualties of War (1989) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097027/, Apocalypse Now (1979), etc : https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000091595/ To argue that Americans have been 'heavily indoctrinated in the US to believe a ton of bullshit' doesn't square up with the coverage and popular media about Vietnam that I've seen since I've been alive. Virtually all of the movies and press are about disillusioned soldiers, brutality, violence, lost causes, etc.

The North had Hanoi Hilton and Desert Inn and plenty of places it kept and tortured political dissidents and American POWs in violation of the Geneva convention. The Vietnam War was a giant mistake, a huge blunder, however, as others have mentioned the Korean war was fought under similar pretexts and no one regrets the U.S. stepping in to save South Korea.

I don't know whether or not the U.S. made all the right choices in the Cold War against the U.S.S.R. Would you prefer a world in which the U.S. hadn't engaged at all against Russia or stayed completely out of Asia (as well as European conflicts)? I don't know if the world that exists today would be better or worse off, really hard to say.

The official go channel (#go-nuts) on freenode had in the topic "we're also on libera.chat, if freenode dies" (or something very close to that, quoting from memory, I don't log IRC) and yet it was shut down due to "policy violation", forwarded to ## namespace and the topic removed.

I for one just wanted things to be quiet. I understand it's frustrating to have channels pointing to a different network and users on your network trying to get people to leave. Even assuming, for the sake of argument, your intentions are good, how on earth was that just now considered a good move? Any basis for arguing you're acting in good faith you've pretty much destroyed at this point.

Your attempts to give this a positive spin on freenode.net[1] aren't very convincing either.

Not a fan of old Freenode staff. But the best alternatives definitely seem to be libera.chat and oftc!

Google only allows you to post videos of the right races acting violently. That's why I watched the videos of Kyle in Kenosha on YouTube, but you can't watch this mob of black people attack an Asian man. Whatever, thanks to #StopAsianHate now we're all well aware that most attacks on Asians are from blacks

I'm trying to test the water with a service in the crypto space (it's not about selling/buying cryptocurrency, but about automating some stuff regarding blockchain interaction). I got declined by Stripe based on their terms of service (i.e. don't mention the word blockchain).

I'm currently looking into payrexx (however seems way less polished than Stripe), and I've heard about Ayden and Mollie (don't know if they are equally conservative). Any recommendations?

> But it also accounts for the economic benefits of the Amazon’s environmental influence, such as sequestering carbon dioxide and regulating the local weather.

It seems like this calculation was only measuring the economic benefit to Brazil. But if they are already able to measure the value of sequestering carbon dioxide, it seems like it might be possible to predict the global benefit of the forest and its value to the world. If that’s the case, I feel a logical step would be for other nations to compensate Brazil to not tear down the forest and exploit its resources.

I don't suppose it was... to ferret?

Reads article

Yes.

TL;DR to pull string through the whole thing so they could clean out little metal shavings using a mop or foam or whatever attached to the other end of the string, which they'd pull through after the ferret. So it was driving out—or ferreting—the metal shavings.

What you describe is pretty ordinary behavior. To the extent that standard books on negotiation and communication (going back decades) caution you about it. If you want to change someone's mind, throwing facts at them is, on average, a very poor strategy.

> but of all the wars America has recently waged, this one is probably the most justifiable.

We now have strong evidence that both the Ghouta and Douma attacks were not chemical weapons attacks by the Syrian government. In the case of Douma, the OPCW leaks have very strongly shown (in my opinion, conclusively) that it was staged and put on by the White Helmets, a US/UK funded organization. Senior OPCW officials then reedited their official's report to make it seem like the Syrian government used chlorine gas. Don't believe me? Listen to Noam Chomsky explain it. [1]

Why does this matter? It was used as a pretense for the Trump administration to bomb Syria, which it did a few days later. [2]

> It makes perfect sense.

To repeat myself, not in the context of what you replied to. If you understood that it works the way you now clearly understand it to, you would immediately see that it does not solve the problem you claimed it did.

> This is a false statement. There is literally no evidence anywhere to support the idea that China is signing iOS packages delivered to devices.

I provided link from an Apple employee saying as much.

> None of the links you have supplied substantiate the claim that iOS devices trust a key from the great firewall.

The quora link says iOS devices trust a key from the Chinese government. Where that key exists is irrelevant. What I showed is that your claim that China cannot MITM iOS packages is false.

> your claim is that China can sign iOS packages without Apple’s knowledge, which is a very different issue.

I showed how they can, and you have not disputed it. You only said that I haven't given evidence that they are, which I never claimed.

> I’m not unconcerned about that

Then your statement about app signing makes even less sense in the context of the user not knowing if they are installing the secure app they wanted to install. It can only make sense if you trust Apple completely (which I found unlikely for anybody to trust any intermediary completely) or if you erroneously thought that the package sent the device was signed by the developer (which seemed to me comparatively more likely). Now you've admitted that the first case isn't true, which only leaves the second case (that I had assumed) or opens a third case, which is that you are arguing in bad faith, knowing that what I said is true but calling it bullshit anyway.

> Yes and it is false.

You say this on the basis of zero evidence. I gave you over a hundred million infections on the App Store from xcodeghost alone that Apple did not have the ability to scan for.

> It relies on unsupported claims, some of which appear may be outright lies.

If that is what you believe, then point them out. You have repeatedly failed to do so, so perhaps you should reconsider whether I am bullshitting.

I work for a large software company that is well-established and has a lot of legacy code. The majority of programmers I work with are in their 30’s and 40’s, myself included. The company does have a reputation for great work-life balance and the product is most decidedly “unsexy”. I wonder if the key difference is the retention, or the fact that the code base takes so much time to understand that young people either stay or jump ship quickly.
