I am not by any means a "covid-denier," but it seems to me this is evidence that the impact of Covid may be exaggerated. It's hard to say by how much (and I would be interested to learn if this is happening in US hospitals also).

It's definitely misnamed, but it's unfortunately far from unheard of. A lot of people just really like the old dev-ops distinction and apply it to whatever the trendy terminology of the day is. Even at Google, I'm familiar with a few rare cases where SREs hold the pager for application code, albeit in very special circumstances.
Thank you for this comment. The internet as a whole needs more of this so we all stop thinking tech and innovation mean a smaller gadget, a new frontend or a VR/AR app.
> At the time of their release, Opera was the most standards-compliant browser.

That definitely does not correspond to my recollections. It was only in Opera 7 (2003) with the new Presto layouting engine that drastically improved standards compliance.

> Beyond Opera, I'm not sure where Firebird, KHTML, etc. stood relative to IE4 specifically

There wasn't any Firebird (neither Phoenix) at the time of IE6 release so how can you discuss this in relation to IE4 is beyond me. Mozilla Suite was still in 0.x beta and a year away from official release when IE6 was released.

"The real work on KHTML actually started between May and October 1999" (wiki citation) so I don't think they had a big impact on the discussed time period.

> but IE5.5/6.0 were well behind most contemporary browsers

So let's get concrete, which browsers were better in 1999-2001?

> It's worth remembering that Acid1 was released in 1998; IE6 was released in 2001. So this wasn't a time before web standards and cross-browser compat: they were very much a part of the discourse at the time. A discourse MS largely refused to participate in.

Are you aware that IE6 is Acid1 compliant? IIRC the first one as the GA released browser (discounting Netscape 6/Mozilla 0.X betas).

> Opera, KHTML, Firefox and Webkit all passed Acid2 long before IE (IE8 was the first version).

Which is a direct consequence of the fact that Microsoft after IE6 release dissolved the IE development team. IE8 was the first substantial update of IE in 8 years. (IE7 was a minor update)

"So, 7 hours for sewing, 72 for weaving, 500 for spinning, or 579 hours total to make one shirt. At minimum wage - $7.25 an hour - that shirt would cost $4,197.25.

And that's just a standard shirt.

And that's not counting the work that goes into raising sheep or growing cotton and then making the fiber fit for weaving."

Our ‘comfort’ level requires 22.05 hours (obviously not done by one person). These figures come way down once we get the spinning wheel and horizontal loom, but what seems fairly readily apparently is that women did not necessarily work less so much as produce more, selling the excess via the ‘putting out’ system we mentioned last time and using that to support their families.

> and are financially secure.

This is the key point. I can imagine being a farmer is a lot more nerve wracking if e.g. bad whether destroys your year's harvest – for the third time in a row.

If you're financially secure, any job is less stressful, regardless whether you're self employed or not.

You could have made that argument a few years ago, before we started to see in-the-wild exploitation of these vulnerabilities.
Indeed. There's at least three things this article misses because it wants to mock other people's concern for work-life balance:

- a lot of it is really "boss-self" balance. It's different doing things like farming where you're working hard for yourself versus having to be online to service the whims of someone else. Furthermore, the schedules of farming are imposed by the physical universe. You have to pick crops when they're ripe. The fact that this is non-negotiable and also physically obvious somehow makes it easier to deal with.

- "bullshit jobs" (Graeber passim): if you're not happy with the job, or its objectives don't make sense to you, then extending those nonsensical imperatives into the rest of your life just wrecks your happiness because you can't keep it in a timebox. Farming may involve physical shit, but at least the objectives imposed (e.g. harvest crops before they rot) are meaningful.

- reduced "life" options: farmers don't go out in the evening. Or the weekend. Or the holidays.
There is a company doing this for video game voices. The voice actors who provide training data get royalties. I hope that becomes a standard for deep fakes and the ML in general, as opposed to how copilot (and the rest of the industry) generally just takes whatever they get their hands on as free train training data.
There's no mention of all the government assistance in terms of loans, infrastructure, subsidies, welfare programs for employee healthcare and retirement, etc. Maybe if other industries had as many entitlements they would make fodder for disillusioned urban bloggers as well.

Off base. I'm using universes as a florid description of the fact that our QM models are crap but they might be useful of the laws of physics were different.
Ever since the frame recall, the prices have been ludicrous for Tacomas. 1G with the 2/3RZ engines will run forever with little-no maintenance-- multiple people in my family have ones approaching 400k miles. They're utilitarian, rough ride quality, noisy-- but they're trucks (& can get 27mpg highway). Unfortunately, Toyota has kept moving further upmarket and keeps making larger & larger trucks (a $60k Tacoma?) that aren't really as appealing as 4/5th gen pickups or 1g Tacomas.

Around the mid 2000's, something seems to have changed with Toyota-- maybe more emphasis on design & listening to what fat Americans want (wider seats, heavier duty suspensions, more ground clearance to go to Starbucks) vs building high quality functional vehicles. They're still better than others, but it seems that they've had more issues with quality, at least in the models that I've researched.

Me too. And most of the cliffhangers are stupid, you know they were added in just to pad out the episodes.

> Lately everything has to be dark and quirkiness is used to explain how someone is directly rude.

Yeah, I've stopped reading crime fiction (and watching crime drama) for exactly this reason: Every detective *has* to be rude/obnoxious, hate their life, be an alcoholic with marriage problems.

And I'm like, why can't we have a mentally stable detective who solves crime because of duty, and not to excorcise their "inner demons" (or other such psychological BS reason usually given).

For this reason, I love Columbo, Poirot and Midsomer murders: The detectives are honourable people, very polite and respectful, but polite doesnt mean they let people walk over them.

It seems to me most crime writers cannot grasp the fact that one can be polite and ruthless (or relentless) at the same time.

I grew up on a farm. I remember having conversations with other farm kids complaining about boredom during certain parts of the year. They had literally nothing to do for a few weeks several times a year. During the winter, which was long in North Dakota, there was basically nothing for a farmer (as opposed to a rancher) to do. They would do things of little value to pass the time, maybe they'd overhaul an engine if it was needed, but for the most part they could have watched TV all day if they wanted - and many of them did that or went to the bar.

My situation was different because my dad ran a business on the side that was booked a year in advance, and in the winter I was in school.
So a few of the pmOS folks were kind enough to discuss the pmOS structure with me, so I will try to summerize here:

pmOS has really good tooling called pmbootstrap. They are able to use the downstream kernels directly (or a mainline kernel if the device supports it), and it generally isn't too difficult to get pmOS to boot with the downstream kernel. However, because of the downstream kernel, you may not get a lot of features, and will have to work to port the features to pmOS.

They also have device catagories, so if someone wants to see the status of a device, they can look here:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices which bins the devices for a user to quickly understand how well a device runs pmOS.

Completely agreed on all points.

I just bought a model 3 a month ago or so. I don't drive often but I have been looking to drive my car because I now love driving the thing.

back to my point. I have been using this app optiwatt which, very conservatively, tracks my charging efficiency and how much it costs me to charge. In the first month i've saved almost $80 in what it would cost a gasoline car. This is coming from someone who doesn't drive very much. I can definitely see this number adding up for someone who has a 45min-1h commute.

How many multiples of this do they currently expect they want to get their vision of a general service running?

Maybe a dumb question, what are the ones that seem to be a bunch in an arc/line? They seem to be a somewhat continuous-ish numbered ones, but not very strictly.

Is the latitude limited by physics or just their limited operation? I know the really great case for this is more remote areas, but just wondering like the Nordics, Moscow. Doesn't get much more remote than Siberia. Are they just out of luck?

Probably dumb questions, don't know much about space flight, just kind of astonished by the amount of satellites. I kind of wish it made more sense for me when it becomes available. My internet's okay, but my area is probably populated enough I might not be the target audience, or a place where it works out well.
The Racer at KI originally ran forward on both sides, then switched to one forward, one backward in '82.

I have fond memories from the 80's and 90's riding both sides. There was always some good-natured trash talking between the two tracks as they headed out from the gate and up the first hill (think "Great Tasting" vs. "Less Filling" and corny stuff like that). They eventually turned away from each other, but came back together for the finish line.

Sadly they flipped it back to the original configuration a while ago.

It's very noticeably slower and computationally intensive compared to Sumatra (or Okular) with larger files like 1000-page long reference manuals as well as massive textbooks, both of which I frequently use.

Why don't excel and all the things that can read excel kill the old xls (2^16 limit) format? I mean still let excel read the file, but don't allow changing the file. Only allow saving the old file to the new format.

Android is Linux because it uses the Linux kernel.

It is not GNU/Linux, which is what people think about when talking about Linux distributions.

Your reference says that's an "Urban Place" and that "Urban Areas" are bigger. The post you responded to linked to something that said 220 million live in 486 "urbanized areas". Since there are many more than 486 towns above 2500 people, I think the 80% number refers to "Urban Places" and not "Urban Areas."

EDIT - it seems the number of what we'd normally call urban is around 70% with about 10% in "Urbanized Clusters" which seem to be "Urban Places" that we think of as suburbs??
This is a good point, and I'd like to fix it. When I look for endianness macros, it doesn't seem like there's a common standard. Is there an approach you'd recommend?

Charging speed depends on the car. My Bolt (and the current Bolt and Bolt EUV) max charges at 50kw. In actuality, it's between 15 and 34kw (depending on weather).

You're correct that it seems to have peaked around 18%, but mostly hovered between 10-18%. It sat around 15% during the civil war.

Note that these numbers do not include native Americans, who constituted between 1-3 million themselves, since the census didn't count them. Considering them as part of the total should indeed bring the numbers under 10%. Whether that is fair or not is up to the reader :)

I still maintain that the majority of the people working on farms were most likely white. This is especially true since many states did not have slaves at all. I will admit that it is likely, that the most gruelling work on the field was given to the slaves.
This is not helped by many romanisations omitting the long vowels entirely (e.g. Tokyo).

> working for someone else, with their deadlines

The problem is that you cannot discuss deadlines with chickens either: they have to be fed on time, or else.
The problem is how to do you make that signature or digital artifact accessible by the general public.

Any visual artifact can be mocked, so we end up with the same problem as clickbait titles, where the conclusion one arrives at from just a title can be disproved, but it doesn't prevent the false information from going viral.

What good is it to say "that video you saw was fake!" after the video has spread around and done the damage already?

It's hard to come up with a solution to this problem just because the solution has to preempt the problem. A cryptographic visual artifact _could_ work, but it's still likely that misinformation via deep-fakes will cause problems for society at large.
I'm not doubting that it might happen and may even actually happen in some cases. I'm asserting that society and government is built on compromises and a principle of taking the path of least harm. We shouldn't avoid a 90% solution because we can imagine possible flaws in it, particularly if we have close analogues already deployed in the real world and those flaws don't largely seem to manifest.

I don't know that bodies like FAA and ERCOT are really comparable to professional associations; the market conditions make them especially vulnerable to corruption because they both "oversee" such a small number of large players, so you end up with a revolving door. In any case, these are also odd examples to bring up, because in both cases their failure was not about market capture, it was about failure to protect the public. So it seems your argument is amounting to "the regulation provided by the FAA isn't perfect, so it shouldn't exist, just like regulation for security-critical software shouldn't exist."

I specifically asked for examples from "law, medicine, trades, engineering", because those are cases that I feel are much more aligned to what it would be with a professional body overseeing practices for secure software development— they're cases where you have a large number of mostly small-time practitioners, and where the professional oversight mechanism is working in terms of enforcing safe and consistent practices, while also evolving those over time in response to changing conditions.
The GP comment was well beyond honest feedback. Honest feedback is like "I find such-and-such piece of the UI ugly", or "All of my friends get confused by the way it does XYZ".

What I object to is the way our community viciously tears each other down. "This open source product is the worst thing ever! Kill it!" This crap is not productive. It's harmful.

We're up against companies who want to monopolize markets, lock us in to proprietary platforms, and own our data forever. And then when somebody finally comes along and tries to do the right thing, we attack them for not being perfect. F that noise. So, yes, I have contempt for this attitude.

(And no, I have no affiliation with the company being discussed in this article.)
I was actually leaning the other way: probably easier to scratch out a subsistence living than to try to make a consistent profit.
"Entitlements" is a strange word for this. The fact is, that farming dairy, cattle, and produce pays so little through the primary market that those people would starve if not for government subsidies. The people who literally prevent every other person on the continent from starving.

Farming is hard and pays little.
