Well, with TLS client certs, each request is essentially similar to a new login, request, logout, so "logout" doesn't really make sense, unless you want to it to mean "stop using the cert temporarily"? Perhaps the UX for certs should be more like "this site wants you to login", you press login in the browser UI, then all future requests are signed with your cert, until you click logout in the browser UI and then they aren't signed any more.

There are more reasons cars are bad for society and bad for the individual – loss of communities dues to freeways [3]; loss of sense of community due to people not walking around and meeting their neighbours [4]; a ticket price to society when a car is deemed a requirement just to work and shop [5]; the 1.35 million people who die in road traffic accidents each year [6].

> 1000pm in Shanghai classrooms

You said "some cities", so I presumed you meant outdoors. Of course in a crowded room it can reach 1000 ppm (or much higher) without the proper ventilation. This finding has nothing to do with the city of Shanghai.

And yes, the "window open" comment I made was for a room with 1 person in it like a bedroom. If it's crowded then obviously more effective ventilation will be needed.

> 1000pm is a non-event

Well the study this thread is based on is directly contradicting that. Do you know of any studies that shows that 1000 ppm has no negative impact on higher order cognition?

I don't follow, how can both be true? If we're averaging the differnce over a period of time there has to be a difference between systems that smear times and systems that don't. Obviously these different measurements will converge like at the end of a year but how do they sync otherwise?
The less-wrong solution to help citizens is to encourage a healthy diet including weight loss, stop spreading FUD, and to implement the MATH+ protocol for those who do fall seriously ill instead of chiding and coercing a clearly hesitant public into taking an experimental therapeutic treatment (that seems to do less than originally promised as the days tick by) and harsh lockdowns.

Instead we see the opposite, which has little to do with the best interests of the citizens, including the funneling of tax dollars to Pfizer and the rest. The parent comment highlights that and explains what’s actually going on, despite the narrative provided by <compliant> ”experts.”

It is a shame that you can hardly get support for this kind of work without citing a shibboleth like "dark matter".

It would be better to build the thing to see what surprises it reveals. A remarkably large fraction of Nobel prizes come from inventing a new measurement method and then discovering a previously unsuspected phenomenon. So, we appreciate such discoveries after the fact, but cannot seem to support the kind of work that tends to evoke them, except by accident.
If you're interested in graduating from LÖVE, try Planimeter's Grid Engine[1], which is based on Quakeworld architecture and comes with fully client-side predicted multiplayer out of the box.[2]

In that regard, it's a lot easier than Unity 2D, which doesn't. It also has commercial support, uses pretty standard de facto formats, like Tiled, for its levels, and has been in development for several years.

It's the most starred Lua game engine on GitHub to my knowledge.[3]

Planimeter also publishes lgf[4], which is a LÖVE 11.3 drop-in replacement which provides PBR support, among other things, out of the box for those concerned with advanced workflows.

It’s not just about the #’s. There is a huge difference between indoor air composition (which humans haven’t evolved for millions of years to account for) and outdoor air composition for the same, say, PM2.5 metric. E.g. indoor air might be mostly dead skin and dust mites, outdoor air might be mostly burned ash and bacteria, etc.

Unfortunately, the fact is that most people are now spending something like 20 hours a day inside… there is no easy answer. I sometimes wonder how much the sterilization hypothesis is wrapped up in the effect of prolonged indoor air exposure.
I don't know if it is related to this article, but a month or two ago, I found screen sharing with WebRTC (specifically getDisplayMedia) on Firefox have been suddenly notably improved. I read through release notes at that time but there seemed no changes around it, except improvements for WebRender on Linux (whereas I and my colleague use FF on Mac).

If one of the contributors named in the article involved in it, I appreciate greatly since it significantly improved our remote-work environment.

I only have tangential knowledge of it, but there's a lot of controversy around how planned burns are implemented. Do you do it later in the year closer to summer when the risk is higher, or do you do it early and let fuel build up plus cover less ground? Should you be bulldozing the trees off the side of the road and completely clearing it instead of doing controlled burns along the edge? Does it do anything to drive along a road setting the brush on fire because it's easy to get to, if you don't burn the massive forest that's going to send embers straight into your town? What do you do when there's a rare orchid patch or a tiny endangered marsupial right in the area you want to set on fire? What if there's a commercial pine or bluegum plantation that you aren't allowed to set on fire? Which models do you use for choosing where to burn? Do you listen to the researchers from the university three hours' drive away, the indigenous elders who live an hour away but have traditional knowledge, or the old farmer who lives right next door who tells you where the fire went on Black Saturday but probably has a bit of tunnel vision from his experience? When so many fires are deliberately lit, should you put more effort into finding the arsonists instead of controlled burns? Is the RFS stealing funding from the CFA somehow? Should you arrange a reciprocal deal where you send water bombers to California during the Australian winter and spring if it means they're not at home to stop "controlled" burns that get away? Why are all these idiots building houses with redgums so close you can reach out the window and touch them, and how do you do a controlled burn in a lightly populated area with risky houses like that?
I got a cheap tower Holmes from Walmart for not that much (less than $100) and I put 2 99.99% filtration HEPA filters in it and have been running at half speed most of the day for over a year.

I shake out the pre-filter (gets covered in dust and pet dander) and toss out the filters every ~6 months. I use a filtrate 1900 filter for the home air filter.

Tip: never use the "ionic" button. They come on most filters for some bizarre reason, but ionically charging the air is a bad idea.

Many urban areas (especially poor ones) have had fewer miles driven per person, but it didn't lead to more transit in those areas. You have to actually allocate budget to get more transit. But even when it's sorely needed, budget doesn't get allocated to transit, for a whole host of reasons. So public transit isn't going to grow just because you gave up a car.
The datasets are deidentified, so that doesn't seem like a plausible rationale
If you have a list of coordinates, then you know a priori what the maximum precision of the deltas is. If your delivery driver doesn't teleport at any point in the journey it's likely that you can shave quite a few bits off the top of each delta.

For example, if your coordinates are precise to 1 angular meter, and the maximum delta in the list is 200 angular meters, then you only need 2x1 bytes for each coordinate.

The title seem very much anti-HTTP/2. However, unless I missed something huge, the vast majority, if not all, of the issues found relate to how hard it is to handle HTTP/1. And it seems kinda odd to blame HTTP/2 for HTTP/1 being difficult to implement.

I'm certainly not trying to downplay the seriousness of these issues. But it seems like a equally (it not more) valid title might be something like "HTTP/1: Continues to rear its ugly head" or something like that.
Wow. I play in Dallas’s men’s adult soccer league, the NTPSA. Roster size is controlled by the team captain, with a max of 25, and we get 45 minute halves.

Coke has played around with various "slim" or smaller 7.5oz or 8oz cans/aluminum bottles that are a higher cost per oz, though they don't seem to have caught on too much. Or with (somewhat questionable) alternative products, like the somewhat new 8oz coke with coffee.
I think self-hosting email has too many downsides (spam filtering, for example) to be worth it; I’m more concerned about losing my messages (easily solved with POP or mbox exports while still using a cloud account) than government data sharing.

So they don’t have any tables describing their regression coefficients, but one of the params they use is lag-1 medals. For example, predicting 2020 medals using 2016 medals.

>“If it makes you feel any better, there's a way in which having a big mess is a sign of success. The reason your competitors don't have messes is that they went out of business. You won, and your prize is an application that betrays the ravages of time.”

I didn't read the whole article, and that's certainly one way of looking at it. Here is another. That lack of maintainability and flexibility in a core codebase will leave your system in what's essentially cement shoes. Your team will have painted themselves in a corner and things that take hours or days in a nimble team with a nimble codebase will take weeks or months. That's fine most of the time if you're established in your industry, raking in the cash. That is until your industry pivots, and it will pivot. When it does, your team will not be able to pivot and will be included in the "out of business" companies mentioned above.

You don't have to have every algorithm tuned to computer's science's optimal guidance, you just have to have a maintainable system that can adjust to the business environment. I've been at plenty of large companies that can't adapt by adding new features because all the original programmers left, and management is to scared to touch the system for good reason, the codebase is a horrendous, unmaintainable mess.

When you're dealing with a machine that is exchanging air in a room a certain number of times per hour and a continuous influx of particulates, with less efficient filters you need more air exchanges which means more filters, bigger fans, etc.

The takeaway is that less particle efficient filters won't ever get you down to the same steady state as better filters in real world applications.

And from personal experience with filters and devices to measure airborne particles, it is hard enough getting good numbers with the best filters I can find.
I aspire to have zero particulates in my home air, it takes some doing. Much of the particles are of human/industrial origin anyway. Exhaust and tire particulate and various broken down human built materials.

Particulates seem to be the easiest to remove -- much easier than VOC's and other gases.

My new furnace has a MERV 11 filter that I've been playing around with in recent days as we've had AQI close to 100.

I have an air quality monitor (that measures PM1, PM2.5 and PM10) in the house, within about 20 minutes of turning on the furnace blower, AQI of 70 inside the house drops down to less than 10, and 20 minutes after that, it's down in the low single digits.

I have a MERV 13 filter that I could put in the furnace, but I'm not sure I need it since the MERV 11 seems to handle it.
Have little knowledge on this field so this might be a dumb question: How noticable or significant is that 12% difference? On the same thought, if I had one that had a 95% efficacy, how does it compare to the 87% one and the 99% one in terms of day-to-day or long term effects?

It did not require native Americans, lighting could do it just fine.

What was the thinking of these native Americans you speak of? Were they thinking "we should start wildfires because it will be better for the forest over a period of centuries"? Because...?

I agree that the practice of trying to stop these fires results in larger fires later. What I'd like is more information on why native Americans were able to realize and act on this. I'm willing to believe it, but not without some explanation.
Hm, you're right. What I was thinking of is the safety number change notification. But if you start with a fresh new contact, it's unverified, but there's no notification to that effect - you have to know what to do to enable it.

Not all, just the rate has te be somewhat balanced, there is definitely a breeze and the air filter helps mostly with PM and indoor sources.
What I've seen with embedded systems is you have a real time clock. And the system when it updates the time updates the registers in the real time clock. And then bad things always happen sooner or later

I've always just let the thing run and use an offset to calculate 'users local time'. If the time gets updated I update the offset.

I think that's what programmers want[1]. Instead of the current system system where the primary time unpredictably jumps around.

[1] For time of day programmers probably want a standard formula that takes an offset and a rate to output the time of day.
This is not true in the majority of the Americas, especially the West Coast.
>because natives with just one passport don't have that option.

If by natives, you mean Native Americans, they have their own sovereignties. Many have do have tribal passports in addition to US passports.

If by natives you mean, John Q Public, then that's just crab-bucket thinking. The majority of Americans have zero passports, leave alone one. By your standard, it should be wrong for people to have one at all since most Americans don't have the legal certification to travel beyond North America and seek asylum as a fall back should the US crap itself.

While not everyone has a similar option for a fallback, everyone has a choice. Nobody is prevented by the US government from attempting to a obtain a second passport. It's a matter of a person's choosing to meet the requirements to obtain one or not.

>California and Texas are in the same country.

Yes, however your argument was one escaping to another jurisdiction with the previous jurisdiction as a fallback. That isn't limited to hopping between states nor should it be. If a state or country can't compete in taxes, services, or culture, I have the right to vote with my feet and to obtain a new residence or nationality however I see fit. Mutatis mutantis, the same goes for everyone else.
