> 1. I’m sure Rust people really hate this idea.

Rust has unsized types, like slices. Such types can't be passed by value and pointers to such types consist of two words (address and length for slices). You can put an unsized type at the end of a struct, resulting in an unsized struct. Using a slice as the last member is equivalent to a flexible array member in C.

Unfortunately they're barely usable in the current state, since there is no good way to construct such a struct.

LibreOffice is fairly unstable in my experience. I was an enthusiastic user full time for three years and am in the process of setting up a VM for MS Office (so I can run it on Linux) because collaborating with track changes on Word docs eventually causes Word crashes. LibreWriter also regularly crashes on me when I use track changes with show changes set to off, and I regularly lose data (although not a ton as the auto save/recover function is reasonably good).

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a miracle that it exists and is free (and Free), but the amount of work and expertise that has gone into Office has to be respected and it is just not possible to duplicate without a lot more money and time for LibreOffice.
What is the alternative? Sometimes you must close a road or sidewalk in order to perform maintenance. This is an out of touch stance.
Hi! Good to see a fellow Krakow citizen! :)

Enso is cloud ready! It has two parts – web-based UI + server-side compiler / data crunching engine. The version you are able to download from our website just contains both parts glued in a single application. We will be releasing Enso Cloud (hosted version) soon! However, it is very important for us to have the desktop version as well, so everyone can just use it for free :)

I hope it makes sense to you? :)
> Having certification and teaching done by one organisation _IS_ a huge conflict of interest

A college degree is more like a certificate of completion than a certification of skill or competentcy. It says that the holder passed the minimum requirements for the degree.

Post-degree certifications like CPA, medical boards, engineer, bar exam are already administered by independent organizations.

I can understand if most of the resentment about these degreeless learning paths comes from people with 6-figure student loans
In 20 years, it will be such an economic powerhouse (its megacities at least), to attract significant amount of young people from neighboring countries or ie Africa. You have half a billion mostly poor people in South east asia alone.

They will do what western Europe is doing for decades - brain drain the smart poor from previously enslaved regions to sustain at least some young demographics to support badly designed social systems.

Its like printing money to get out of state debt - you let the consequences be solved by next generation(s), if required.
2nd. I'm a heavy org-mode user but the problem w/org-mode is that it's got emacs in front of it, and you are just not going to get uptake. Pandoc's not really a solution, either, apart from a one-time extraction of org-mode to whatever other format is desired. As soon as you get multiple non-emacs editors, your pandoc trip is over.

> WIV officials told the investigators that serum samples for all staff and students in the bat coronavirus group subsequently tested negative for Covid antibodies. We have only their word to go on because the lab hasn’t been independently audited...

Why has the lab not been independently audited? If I was going to make a case against someone making an error, saying "well, that group said they didn't make an error" seems like a bad argument.

> The first human case of Covid could have been infected hundreds of miles away, perhaps closer to the horseshoe bat caves of southern China.

Have we found such a person?

> You can get on the fast train in Wuhan and be in Guandong Province, the home of the original SARS outbreak, in under four hours.

If someone had been in Guandong, and taken a train to Wuhan, it seems to me that the early cases would not have been so concentrated in Wuhan, for two reasons: 1) if Wuhan is really all that accessible by different means of transportation, you'd expect people would just as easily take it from Wuhan to other places, and 2) presumably, the fast train doesn't just stop in Wuhan (Google says it's 1000 km away), meaning an infected person on the train could easily have infected someone else on the train who got off in between. Honest question: is that not how the spread of disease would work?

> There is no evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or anyone else, ever had any strain that similar to Covid-19.

Again, that's what we're trying to figure out. You can't take the thing we're trying to figure out as evidence one way or the other, that's Begging the Question (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question)

> Given that Covid (or its direct ancestor) must exist in nature, it’s more likely that it got out naturally (like SARS and MERS) than that it took an undetectable detour through a secure biolab.

I don't understand this jump. Most people I've read arguing that the lab leak theory is possible agree that there must be some base virus in nature. The question is, what is the more likely path from that natural virus to the COVID outbreak, through a lab or through some other animal (or animals)? I understand the argument that we didn't find the transmission chain for SARS or MERS or Ebola for years, but why does asserting it started in nature lead to the conclusion it therefore had a natural path? This again seems like the author is trying to prove a conclusion using the conclusion.

> The fact that China is being secretive about Covid-19 isn’t evidence for any particular theory.

When SARS came out, I don't remember the Chinese government blaming Italian frozen food or athletes at an international athletics competition for SARS. I don't remember them promising people that it's not transmittable between humans, or that it's not a big deal. I think simply saying "China is being secretive" is not looking at the whole picture.

> All theories of the origins of Covid-19 should be investigated, including lab origin theories. We should go wherever the science takes us.

This seems right to me. We can't make bricks without clay though.

Flooding is a major problem with underground construction. Not the best as the ocean level rises. Air circulation is also a mess, because CO2 is heavier than oxygen. Evacuating a tall building is relatively easy; most people can go downstairs without a huge issue. Fleeing upstairs, on the other hand, is something fewer people can do. And once you get a blockade of people who can't make it, even the healthiest can get trapped.
You can have your medical decisions. You just aren't allowed to act irresponsibly and potentially infect people.
It’s much worse than you even hint at. The WIV lab - the one place that might have vindicated the innocence of the lab and perhaps the natural origins of the virus - was shut down and wiped clean while every measure was put in place to stop any semblance of transparency. Chinese scientists who tried to talk about it were disappeared.

An international team was assembled to wage a propaganda effort in order to keep the WIV leak theory from ever becoming viable.
I totally get how big a pain it is; I'm just saying you won't find them via these posts. Founders often over estimate how interesting their idea could be to potential co-founders; but people are more interested in working on their own ideas.
That cuts both ways. I remember the finger-waggers - for weeks - mocking people who chose to wear a mask in the early days of the pandemic, with the same tone of smug superiority they today reserve for people who choose not to. I'm a lot more worried about those types of people than the type who arrive at what look to me like sillier conclusions but don't seek to impose them on everyone.

Hi! I'm Adithya from Berlin. I've been building a job board for half a year and it's doing decently. I'm looking for a co-founder on the marketing and sales side.

It would be great if you're based in Berlin/Germany but remote is also good.

I've come up with several useful sections like hiring without whiteboard (1), four day weeks (2) etc. that has decent organic traffic.

Post mentions no job boards, hopefully that's only applicable to advertisements and not in this case.

Email is on the imprint on the website.

It is easier to study from a theoretical point of view (easier that the heat or the wave equation: [1], Ch. 2), and it's easier to implement a solving method. When you are learning the finite element method, this is one of the first examples that people use to test if they got the right implementation.

Now, I wonder if the author regards it important in his particular area (aerospace engineering), I'm new to the field so I don't see how. Right now I'm reading a book [0] on models to solve problems concerning aerospace applications and they mostly use a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equations together with some elasticity assumptions.

I have noticed the same thing. I just don't see any reason why, across a span of a 60 year career, you can't do both at the same time- part time astrophysicist, part-time knife maker. I'd repair potholes or monitor an industrial loom for 2 days per week if I could take the rest of the time off.

Everything being referenced is stuff you'd learn in a typical technical education as part of either calculus or statistics. Your reply comes off as of defensive in a way that implies that you're shocked some one would know any of this stuff.
It's not as easy. Number of cases in that second period are ~10x the number of cases in that first period. Which means you have more propagation, potentially affecting more at-risk chunk of the population. E.g. the very few cases happening in May-June may have beeen predominantly occuring in young people with extensive social contacts, now that the transmission is going up it can spread to more isolated communities (e.g. old people with less social contacts, that are more at risk of isolation).

There is not a single number that you can look in isolation that will give you an answer.

How can users be incentivized to opt-in, particularly with a free-to-use application? I can see a case for ad-supported software, a developer could reduce or eliminate ads for that user in exchange for telemetry data...
The vault does no good if you're passwords can be identically recreated by the attacker. Which the "crappy and predictable seed value", in combination with account creation time data, makes trivial. That creation time may be explicitly shown by the service, or at least hinted at through something like the timestamp of the user's first post.
> “1. TV and Film have switched spots.”

I agree. It now costs a lot less to propel TV to have “good enough” special effects that nearly rival movies. Pair that with better plots and more time for telling stories, it’s not hard to see why TV is more enjoyable these days.
The Last Pioneer
Remote (I’m in Johannesburg, South Africa)
I'm looking for a technical co-founder to join me disrupting the legal research and publishing industry. I am a lawyer now working as a senior product manager at one of the large players in this industry.

The industry has copied its print business models and simply put it content online. The UX, editorial operations, pricing models, all stuck in the past. For example, the choice of content is chosen at firm level and all lawyers have exactly same set of content. There is no content ratings and review systems in the software so publishers are missing an easy and cheap way to get valuable data which would aid in optimising content.

The solution I've specced caters for curating crowd-sourced content from practitioners (and providing them leads and publicity via their content in return).
Honest question: why do they need an electronic device for this? If the goal is just to provide resistance against breathing, wouldn't it work just as well to suck air through, say, a narrow straw?

How do users know if that's all the data that's submitted? Auditing every program to see exactly what gets sent (and repeating the process for every update) is way too much work; it's safer to just opt-out by default.

Now that I think about it, it's safer to simply not use software that opts users into studies (like telemetry analysis) without informed consent.
Not being able to afford an employee is obviously a valid reason to dismiss them. So is them refusing to work. But the scenario you describe is contrived anyway: Someone motivated enough to work hard won't randomly stop being so.

Always thought that someone should do something like this but for part-time marketing/comms/content jobs. I'm sure there are men in the following position too, but in my circles there are loads of 30-40yo women returning to work after maternity leave and looking for 2-3 days/week, often in marketing and related jobs.

On the other side of the coin, there'd be a lot of small businesses sick of paying an agency but unable to justify a full-time role. Great match, IMO.
I would be willing to bet that if Ebola were a frequent issue in a country that had the ability to construct a world-class virus research center, there would be a research center very close to the locations where Ebola had a natural reservoir.

Twitter is a foreign propaganda outlet that meddles in elections and bans politicians it disagrees with.

Your entire soap box misses this elephant in the room. Twitter already revealed what it was in the 2020 US election. Indian doesn’t need a globalist corporation who won’t obey its laws in its territory.

Twitter ceded the moral high ground and now if India is to survive it needs to replace the big tech giant services with Indian versions that reflect its culture and respect its laws and most importantly, won’t end up banning half the country including the president when they go against the ever increasing TOS.
A friend of mine broke a badminton racket during a match, and I was struck by how the sharply bent and twisted metal rim was transformed into a smooth, continuously double-curved surface by the racket weave.
