It is very cranky, no denying that.

The founder of the site, Robert Parry, uncovered US involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking during the 80s. Nobody denied the facts, but by the time the story came out American political culture had become more conservative (Reaganism) and people weren't as interested in hearing about covert crimes the way they were in the 70s (Watergate).

Parry got drummed out of the journalism for not towing the line and became somewhat bitter. It's not my only source of news, but it can be refreshing to read something that quickly attempts to poke holes in mainstream narratives.

> But anyway, accusing an organization of having a pro-USA bias isn't a strong criticism against a domestic USA project.

There are laws against domestic propaganda. For instance, the CIA is not allowed to plant stories in US media.

The German Marshall fund is part of USAID and USAID was founded by the members of the CIA. They're sister organizations that service the same political goals. It should raise eyebrows that USAID wants to construct a domestic propaganda operation.
For anyone else not from the UK, ONS seems to be some official body doing some sort of, well, sampling.

Do you have a link to their current stats? I found this page[1] but it's not very accessible, not sure this is what you mean.

I agree with that. Its been like a twilight zone interviewing for anything frontend in Silicon Valley the last couple years as they "me too" for React, while I use Vue on my own projects.

Now, the original reason I chose Vue was mostly around a small client side package size, but all the SPA frameworks have some version that prides itself in small client side package side now, and they mostly reach parity on similar concepts.
I was expecting to read that article from mid-1800s or early 1900s lamenting how everyone just sits there in trains, public transports, etc. Just reading their newspapers and not paying attention to their surroundings or socializing.

Well, it was a visual version. But if anyone has a link to the article I remember, I would appreciate it.

No problem. It’s frustrating to see people get certain pet breeds with no thought to how much they cost to take care of. I’m friends with quite a few vets, and one of the hardest parts of their jobs is dealing with owners who didn’t think ahead about cost. It’s sad to see pets that with the right treatments would likely heal 100%, but the owner can’t afford it and instead tries to do the cheap treatment.
>True. But there are some of us working on ARM platforms that aren't RPi that need to hack drivers.

Which has nothing to do with RPi or embedded systems... Not sure if I understand.

>And just a tip, don't break bad on the Pi here. For many people this is the only ARM platform worth working with.

Ugh... Cell phones? Or any of the zillion of ARM development boards out there.
No, that "crowd" is talking about the 30% increase in a year of M2 money supply, which is unprecedented in US history. The gymnastics going on with the M1 curve don't change that underlying fact, although it does provide a convenient strawman deflection in arguments so less informed people stop at this rebuttal and believe the whole "huge money supply increase" narrative is a hoax.

I see that point, but it was pretty jarring reading this Elixir article as a curious outsider that they had to make these kinds of very advanced contortions to do something so simple in such a non-performant way. It’s something that is only impressive if you were already totally sold in on the BEAM way of doing things, but looks insane to any C/C++/Rust/Java/whatever developer.
It's probably better to be erroneously in the bottom tier than erroneously in the top tier for reasons that should be obvious.
it is so obvious. Nonprofit does not mean Nonbias.
i think schools closing, euros ending, the nhs covid19 app ping and holidays starting are actually contributing to a lower number. scotland’s early school holiday should correlate at least part of this hypothesis.

1. where do you report lateral flow tests? i do mine at home every day as my work sent out boxes of them.

2. if a lateral flow is positive, aren’t you supposed to do another and then a pcr test?

I think this usually boils down to incomplete or buggy support for older 3D apis in modern graphics cards, as the fixes for these games almost always end up being to use a wrapper that translates them to modern Vulkan or DirectX like dgvoodoo or nGlide, similar to what Proton already has to do for these games.
Yea Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf that he hated Jews and Communism so it should've been taken very seriously since a person like him(German nationalist and fanatic) became a chancellor. I don't who expected different behavior than what was written in Mein Kampf. Holocaust and WW2 War could've been prevented if Allies(US, UK and France) invaded Germany in 1933-1939 time period. But they expected Hitler to be European shield against Communism and geo-politic partner.
My original post said ~$50-$100 in initial setup, so you're not being fair to my original post. You need multiples of the things or similarly functioning things as posted. Yes, buying bigger bags of dirt is an option, or cheap plastic pots. If you're going to be doing this, you'll appreciate the clay pots as they don't bet brittle from UV exposure. I prefer clay as I just dislike plastic.

It's a typical reaction when suggestions that gardening can be more expensive than people realize. Yes, if you use the same pots, start taking seeds generationally, etc the price amortizes to near $0. That first year though can put a dent in a wallet. If you've been doing it for awhile, it's easy to forget.

We haven't even discussed getting into drip irrigation or similar. Each of the individual parts are cheap (tubing, sprayers/drippers, etc), but again it adds up with a timer etc.

To be abundantly clear, I'm not trying to dissuade anyone, but just giving realistic expectations. It's just like getting into Arduino and what not. The controller itself is cheap. The shields are cheap. Electronic components are cheap. Then you add up all your receipts and realize, you've spent more money than originally anticipated. It's just the nature of DIY.
> You have to carry insurance on a leased car at your own expense as well.

Not only that, you have to have a plan by insurer that the lessor has chosen (and yes, they do earn money here). With your own property, you can find your own deal.
> The other option I see is to posit that in modern democracies the principle of self-determination is unnecessary.

For geographically dispersed people? Yes, sovereignty is impossible and undesirable as you’d have to take it from the locals wherever you were getting the land from.

For people living under an oppressive regime (or one they view that way), it’s a different story. They are the locals and thus should have a government that fits the local population.

You can’t create sovereignty out of thin air. You have to take it from someone if you’re going to give it to someone else. All the land on this planet has been accounted for for some time now.
At least provide data if you're going to be like "it's just a flu". I'm willing to believe you mean well if you are only talking about people that are fully vaccinated 14+ days ago, but in general this sounds like an excuse.
Looking at the official data[0], the number of daily hospital admissions is still increasing: https://i.imgur.com/XkbImVg.png

But hospital admissions usually lag behind the number of infections. If in a week or two admissions are still going up while the number of new infections drops, then this theory may be correct.

Let us properly disambiguate something.

There is the question of whether in a multi document interface to show an empty window when the last document is closed and the question of whether to keep the application running when its last window closes on a single document interface as was the topic of the original discussion.

The majority of multiple document applications on windows choose to close their application when the last item is closed rather than displaying an empty window but all or virtually all choose to die when their last window or tray icon dies.

You said

> On the task bar.

No app on windows displays an indicator on the task bar for an application that has no windows. Doing so would be broken.

In a multi document window like this browser window there is a clear delineation between closing a document by clicking the x on the tabs interface and closing the window by clicking the x on the window. On a single document interface like say a document app as per the original discussion there is only one action in the evident interface the x on the window which ought to have a predictable result.

If one wanted instead reuse the window one would do File->Open or File->New or some such. One may also particularly use File->close on some such resulting in any empty window but this would be awfully odd given that the only way to reuse the window effectively would be to thereafter follow up with file->open or file->new.

The current behavior on windows of closing the window when the last document in a multiple document interface is closed and closing the app when the last window is closed is both standard and appropriate for the windows platform.
This isn't helpful or insightful input for anyone, including the people literally trying to get out and save the planet.
> If you look at what is happening today, this call for censorship in the name of combating disinformation has actually had no effect on disinformation.

You say that, but ISIS propaganda has been soundly defeated outside of fringe sites like GETTR. And sure, GETTR remains a hotbed of terrible disinformation (such as this ISIS propaganda), but without a mainstream audience, its much less of an issue compared to giving it out to everyone on Twitter.

You can't post an ISIS sponsored beheading video on a mainstream site (Youtube, Facebook, Twitter) without the moderators noticing and censoring it in short order.

Portal is only $100; I wonder if that also works.
The trouble with interviews these days is that there is no penalty for false negatives.

Long, multiple interviews are great for those who are already in the group - it provides legitimate excuse to hold off doing actual work, feel smug with their peers about how difficult the job is, and also provides acceptable excuse for project delays.

As a senior engineer, it's amusing being interviewed by intelligent but very junior engineers who clearly cannot understand the scope of what's in the resume. This usually happens with a quick scan of the resume followed by a realization (there is this peculiar look) that they don't have any relevant questions to ask about the experience, and finally landing on their favourite puzzle questions because what they really want to know is how my thought process works.
> The USA brings in 50 million or so people from other countries. Often they are bloody minded, stone cold, hard workers that will sacrifice everything to give their children the opportunity to be Americans. These people are some of the best in the world in my opinion.

Over the last 40 years I've known and worked with some of these people, and I marvel at their tenacity and the sheer force of will they have to succeed. It just blows me away. Sadly, it seems to disappear from the next generation. I'll admit that I have a small sample size.
Other than people with compromised immune systems, or people who are trying not to spread the virus to small children for whom the vaccine isn't approved yet.

I'm all for being annoyed people who could get the vaccine but decided not to, but we shouldn't throw the actual babies out with the proverbial bathwater, right?
> My gut feel is that everyone has stopped doing lateral flow tests and reporting those tests

Is that where this data comes from?

I'm not sure it is. I think it's separate sampling.

In 1989 I wrote a letter (i.e., mailed) to a friend from grad school (ASU) pursuing her studies at a Northern UK university. I sez we will meet you at the center of Piccadilly Circus at such and such a time, on such and such date. She wrote back, "of course." This took a month or so. We flew over, and showed up. So did she. I still remember meeting up: it was no big deal.

We had also written to Czech friends from grad school (U FL) that we would show up in Olomouc on such and such date (Jun 1989, interesting times). They were visiting relatives and we showed up. And were whisked off to 5 days of whirlwind touring the soon to be de-Sovietized Czechoslovakia.

We hosted quite few Eastern Europeans in the '90s, all arranged over snail mail. There was a sense of responsibility that we don't really experience today when dropping in on travels. All the modernity in the world, and nowadays we occasionally get ghosted, even after making repeated prior arrangements using the latest hottest smart phone technology.

I will say this: google translate + maps are the two great inventions we appreciate most. The rest is a solid meh. We have a theory that maximized immediate convenience has an unanticipated effect of atomizing and devaluing some relationships.

Per the parent, I too remember those paper maps while cycling. As in, riding from the Portland Airport to Arcadia and down to LA, using a tour guide, quite tattered at the end. Most of the times before an extended trip (100+ miles) I would memorize the route the night before. This worked fine for 25 years.
True, my team might be compiling a detailed dossier of each opposing team's defensive weaknesses so we can make a clean sweep of the league next year.

If so, we are playing our cards very close to the chest.
This is awesome. I referenced cppreference, but that is not authoritative. Unfortunately, in the final draft, [class.pre] grammar makes the name mandatory even though the language you quote remains in the first textual paragraph following the grammar specification!

The part of enums you quoted was C-compatible enums; anonymous scoped enums are explicitly forbidden: "The optional enum-head-name shall not be omitted in the declaration of a scoped enumeration" (dcl.enum 2).

Sigh. I will send in a clarification at least on the class/struct/union side. Ideally the grammar would be fixed rather than that paragraph.

The draft I looked at is https://timsong-cpp.github.io/cppwp/n4868/ (2020-10-18, shortly after the standard was approved).
Well, first of all: people who claim that this isn't possible because "we're just developing tools" do have _some_ ground to stand on, but it's shaky.

What you can do is knowingly bias your software so that the functionality it provides, workflows it makes easy, messaging, and community all lean towards and encourage positive purpose. Ideally without artificially restricting anything, although it's a balance, and it's fine to ban and censor -- preferably with guidelines -- within your own project.

Additionally, where possible you can add friction and costs for bad actors by anticipating how they might want to misuse or bend your software (or community), and work to make that challenging for them.

Transparency helps a lot in both cases: it can illustrate your project's principles to the wide set of benevolent users, while making it more expensive for negative influences to gain a foothold (and more obvious in retrospect).

Nauka module’s near miss raises concerns about future of space station
Httpoison, for example, starts its own supervision tree to manage client process pools (not obvious that an http client should do that, definitely usecases where it shouldn't) and there is no indication either in mix.exs, or `MyApplication.Application.start/2` that Httpoison needs the tree. For most deployments, it's probably not a big deal. Some process will try to read http content, fail if httpoison isn't quite ready, and be restarted by its supervisor.

However, if you try to use it early in compilation or test, say, in your test_helper.exs file, speaking from experience, you could wind up with a very difficult to understand race condition where the httpoison process tree hasn't fully booted and you're trying to fetch something off the internet, and you don't have the same level of supervision protection -- if test_helper fails the whole test suite gives up and doesn't restart -- for obvious reason.

For the http case thankfully the elixir ecosystem is getting Mint as a base http library, which doesn't require a process tree out the gate, and several interesting explicit process-pool-libaries (finch, mojito) which are tuned for their own use cases that derive from mint.

> You are clearly not the target audience

I disagree. I mean, I know we're not the only target audience. But we're clearly an important one. They literally announce their new software releases at their developer's conference. macOS is also the only platform you can develop iOS apps on. So if nothing else, macOS has to be nice to developers for iOS's sake.

For me, the core things that makes macOS great for development haven't changed. All they've really done is make iOS and macOS work together more cohesively.

I recently graduated with an MSc. in CS from Reykjavík University (also have a BSc in CS from there), my thesis was on validating a sleep spindle detection algorithm. This summer I've been interning at an ML firm in Italy that works in production line optimization, where I wrote a code-generation tool built on templating, which has been integrated into production.

As my internship is ending, I'm looking for a full-time position.
