Great work! and keep going, there are more of us out there than you think.

It might feel like you're tilting at windmills most of the time, but each one of us that does this makes it a little easier for the next person who wants to reclaim their privacy and autonomy.

First it's easier in that as more people use a piece of hardware or software, the more you start to see good tutorials and user guides, the more people file bug reports, the more developers contribute, etc.

Second, and possibly even more importantly, each new user reduces what I'd call the "weirdo" factor. Other people are going to be more likely to make the jump to software or hardware that's outside the mainstream if they see others doing it. And the more people there are who use a technology, the less it's seen as "weird". Even a few years ago, most people thought I was some sort of tin hat for using Signal. Today there are enough people using it, that even if it's not the dominant messaging app, most people see it as a reasonable choice.
maybe, I haven't seen much Windows since 7, which I am still using for occasional gaming and hobby music production : D
Programmers really love plaintext/markdown notebooks, but they introduce a lot of friction around graphs and "snap a picture + annotate," and that destroys their value prop for me.

Snap + annotate (or sketch + annotate) is an absolutely killer workflow if you deal with artifacts in the physical world, to the point where I gladly endure poor text editing capability and version control so long as I can have snap + annotate. Heck, if I didn't have a computer with good snap + annotate support I'd use a physical lab notebook before I tried to somehow shoehorn the workflow into text.
There are cultural factors as well.

IIRC there are places (Japan?) where it had historically been considered more unseemly for CEOs to get paid so much more than everyone else below them. But there’s no law of nature that says low performance goes with that.
agree with the observation. it was legal when it was benefiting them. now when they have other priorities, suddenly this is illegal. same with 1-child, 2-child , 3-child policy. now their priority is to expand their population into Tibet, Afghanistan , Xinjiang, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, etc new territories: in the next 2-3 decades. so, population growth becomes paramount priority. So, "drop everything else. make more babies"
I see what you are saying.

The announcement at the release of 10 was that 10 was the final version of Windows, not that it was the final version of Windows 10.
I'm deep into "I know how to do this stuff, or could work it out, but I really cannot be bothered and will put up with the mostly-adequate experience so long as someone else manages it".

I used to run my own mail server. Heck, I used to lease out shell accounts and run email for other people. But gmail is just better at dealing with spam, probably because they manage a huge fraction of all email.

I still have the 20-year old email address, ticking over, delivering mail into a shell account run by someone else. It's about 50% spam, 49% things I've not bothered to unsubscribe from, and 1% really important stuff from long-dormant sources that I'd forgotten about. And of course it's there if I need to go back for whatever reason.
No, I’m saying they’re very savvy about American culture and know exactly what to say.

Sorry, but I remember 1971, 50 years ago. People in the UK most certainly didn't dress anything like their parents. My mum didn't wear hot pants and my dad didn't wear yellow and green striped flares like me! I would say now parents dress more like their adult children.

I admire this guy, but I don't want to be this guy.

As someone says below, FOSS quality control is generally shit. Closed-source software's is, too, but at least they make the main path through their crap work. Woe betide you if you take any other path.

That having been said: there are lots of good ideas in OP and in the comments. I will check them out.
I blocked it all, and I didn't notice a big difference. The exception is if I get involved in some dumb argument that turns sour. I just don't do that anymore.

However, I do feel a weird sort of boredom. I am not having fun, but I'm not bored enough to go do something else. It's a bit like when I have snacks instead of a meal. I should be doing something bigger and better, but that prevents me from getting started.
A bunch of people sue together and a lawyer represents them. Instead of taking it to court where apple could lose /riskier they took money from apple and small concessions that arent significant
I honestly don't think I would. I am exhausted by Friday and then the weekend is basically just Saturday so there's hardly any time to recharge during it.
I've recently negotiated a 4-day work week with my employer. It's been a huge quality of life improvement. Whether I make $80k/yr or $150k/yr, it doesn't matter as much to me as quality of life. Maybe I'm an outlier, but money isn't everything.

If smaller companies can't compete on the huge salaries and options that larger companies provide, they can certainly compete on flexible work schedules. A developer working 4 days a week is pretty much just as useful to me as the engineering manager as a developer who is working 5 days a week. Budget and schedule.

Our database roadmap is:

1. Self service snapshots/restores

2. Get it out of beta

3. Single command database and apps management

My time estimates are always wrong, but that feels like 3 months.

The phrase "teach the controversy" originates with an early-2000's movement to show pro-creationism arguments in biology classes.

You can use use Jupyter Notebooks like Markdown files, with the added benefit of code blocks being executable for reproducible work.

Then, just throw your notebooks into MkDocs (using a plugin) and voila, you get a statically hostable version of your notebooks!

Easily coupled with Git and CI/CD practices, you have a nice, easy to use setup for prodyctive work and knowledge sharing if needed!
How do you make sure that the single IPv4 address you are blocking is not used for CGNAT? When you don't care about collateral damage you could as well block IPv6 /40 or /48s. Currently this is maybe not a problem yet because most people don't have CGNAT addresses but the problem will become bigger.
A bit of a tangent, but how would you change the gaokao system? It's certainly a huge strain on the child, but I'm not sure how to design a different system that allows a similar level of class mobility and fairness either.
A headline only has room for so many words. It was both the court and relevant ministry, but clarifying both and what exactly they did is the purpose of the article, not a terse headline.

Also, there is a bit of a distinction in China between "rule of law" and "rule by law", so the question of equal, consistent enforcement needs to be proven out a bit as it's early days.
Which is still a good argument against double-vaccinating them, at least when vaccines were hard to come by (which is still the case in most of the world).

At least that’s how France does it, and that strategy might come in handy again as they plan to give boosters with influenza vaccines to everyone over 65.

Writing _good_ documentation absolutely can be just as tiring as creating the thing being documented. It's quite common to not particularly value documentation quality and be happy with a mess of words churned out with little thought because at least it exists, but ensuring that it's accurate, covers all of the little details, and is organized well requires some careful thought and editing processes.

With a formal division between "deep thought" work and "easy" work, I'd be inclined to churn out a rough draft of documentation in the second time box but then spend at least as much time as that in the first time box cleaning it up.
I disagree so much with this that I wouldn't even know where to start arguing against it.
Side note, but one of the hardest things about jq is to realize all the operators operate on streams of values.

For example, map() operates on a stream of arrays. That kind of doubling of iteration can be confusing at first.
Here's the important bit:

> The researchers also found that people who had SARS-CoV-2 previously and then received one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine were more highly protected against reinfection than those who once had the virus and were still unvaccinated.

Get the vaccine.
> There are debates over why the least vulnerable, healthy populations are subject to the same restrictions as the obese and elderly.

The studies are still out, but early reports are showing that delta is hitting more than just the old and the fat [1].

In particular, pregnant woman seem to be at particularly high risk of death. [2]

The problem with these communicable disease is they can mutate. Delta appears to be breaking a lot of the older assumptions about who is at risk. Perhaps that's because the older population is better vaccinated than the younger population and delta is just more deadly for all.

> If obesity is a risk factor and we have a "collective responsibility", then why hasn't the gov mandated exercise?

Because whether or not you exercise does not change your ability to spread COVID. It may improve your chances of survival but it does not change the burden one way or another on how you are affecting society around.

Further, it will take months/years to lose enough weight to eventually move out of the risk category for COVID. A vaccine takes minutes.

> And if this were untrue, where would we see this information? Are there no other incentives we should be considering, such as the great reset, vaccine passports, digital ID, CBDCs or even vanilla economic interventions? We're dealing with a trust deficit in public figures and media institutions. It is hard to blame the cynic for previous incidents of propaganda.

The trust problem is precisely from propaganda. It's because, frankly, Trump kept saying "fake news" and casting doubt on experts without a shred of evidence backing his assertions. Pushing untested and unproven medications which ultimately spawned the "ivermectin" crowd which is now taking horse dewormer to try and combat covid.

The deficit because an autocrat got power and pulled the typical move of an autocrat.

The experts have been straight through covid. It's the yellow journalists and russian interference [3] that have been spitting out mistrust where none existed previously.

As a developer - I don't understand how any developer still holds Apple in good faith.

Literally every step they have taken over the last 8 years has been miserable for independent developers trying to release products on Apple devices.

- Random API shutoff and access changes

- Documentation used to be okayish, is now mostly trash

- Absolutely hostile to virtualization for device testing and deployment pipelines

- Forced payments, tied hands for external payments

- Forced integration of Apple specific features (sign-ups as an example)

- A clear habit of copying successful apps, recreating a mediocre in-house version, then bumping you WAY down below the "Apple" version of your app in the store

And I'm not even talking about the store fees, which in my opinion amount to extortion since they prohibit any other installation method.

I can vaguely understand why some users like Apple, since they market very well.

But as a dev - Apple is literally the fucking devil. They will screw you over at every turn, often with nothing but automated responses, and have a complete disregard for you, your users, and your products.

I wish them a FUCKING HARD fall from grace here. Apple is not a nice company. Apple is a fucking mob extortionist with a great PR story.
In this study nobody died from vaccine. But the big thing thats not adjusted for is once you got Covid you will wear mask and won't go to restaurant, this is not adjusted for in this study.
It was because she was a girl. That is all there is to it. Insta-famous. Not that it is a bad thing to promote women in science, but also let us not pretend that the hype fuel was based on anything else.
Yes you are. You are responsible for the safety of the property; including inside. In other words if the "new tenants" get electrocuted because installation was not according to the code, you have a problem.
Slick pretentious nonsense unfortunately makes the world go round these days.
You can only get natural immunity by getting the virus and hoping you don't die.

Sure Pfizer makes lot of money from the living, but I guess they will make less money since some of us are no longer among the living.

I guess the funeral industry will be very happy, indeed. The welfare state saves money on not having to care for a sick elderly person...

And Gnome if following Apple. All roads lead to Mac these days it seems.
In all fairness, it's still disproportionately easier for larger companies to develop apps.

Look at Waze, for example. Waze uses OS-level APIs to interact with your hardware and provide a safe driving experience. Larger companies like Facebook and Google have no trouble accessing these APIs: their developer accounts are already entitled with a high number of permissions that a smaller developer would need to apply to use.

Samsung Is the Latest SSD Manufacturer Caught Cheating Its Customers
Devise is well known to have many problems. It works out of the box, but when deviating from strictly the use case it was designed for, there is no documentation and the shortcoming of the design become apparent.

That's where the monkey patching comes in, usually.

But to be clear, I'm stating the facts that many software developer see in the Ruby world when you join an organization that's growing tremendously. As usual, if you fit perfectly in the Rails target and the Devise target, you won't encounter problems.
The problem with this is that WW2 wiped us out financially, and then post-war nationalisation wiped us out economically. ww1 had done a pretty good job on us as well, as did the depression between the wars.

The value of the UK economy, since around 1930, has increased in PPP terms by about 90%. So there's a reasonable argument the value in 1930 was partly down to imperialism, although I think industrialisation was a much bigger factor. Still, the 90% of our economic value we accrued since then certainly didn't come from colonialism, so where did it come from?

Look at Japan, yes it had an empire for a few decades before WW2, but that was mainly a result of industrialisation that had already happened, not a cause of it. Look at what's happened in China since it opened up and liberalised it's economy. At least they finally, finally figured this out.
I’m referring to the overall air quality which was better back when you could smoke because the airlines were forced to change the air more aggressively. You can’t hide smoke as easily as invisible stagnant air.

> the majority are running some form of business back home

majority, as in >50%? is this really true?

I'd love to know more. What are these businesses and are people using them to finance their living in NA/Europe?
The thing these graphs show (and I agree with the criticism that plotting it in polar makes the excess volume look much larger) is that you can completely ignore why anyone died and still see a very clear pattern that 2020 stands out as very different than previous years, and the plot of the delta between 2020 and those other years exactly matches the numbers that CDC attributes to COVID-19.

In other words, even if you question their categorization of deaths, it’s impossible to deny that something out of the ordinary caused 600k excess deaths in the US, and that “something” happened to coincide perfectly with the COVID-19 surges.
Is this a real ad or a spoof?

As someone who experience many problems with Multicast on IPv4 / IPv6 hybrid networks, how different are the implementation of Broadcasting on each protocol?

Mostly I came aware that in IPV4 the router tries to create a local multicast group, using IGMP snooping you can solve some problems to get your broadcast thru multiple devices, but in IPv6 this is kind of confusing to me... does any one has information on this?
Thanks, I think that would very likely handle the basic case of having 1 block.

But in a re-usable card component you might decide to have a title, body and footer block where the footer is optional and perhaps falls back with a default value if it's undefined. Slots with Surface handle this use case based on their docs. I think there's a lot of component use cases where you'd want the idea of having multiple blocks.

The docs you linked don't cover if HEEx supports anything like that, or being able to use multiple named blocks in 1 component. I tried to read the source but render_block is a macro and I couldn't proceed to trace it.
reminds me of Python3
Its a problem for the main narrative but that is because the main narrative is brittle and stupid. I don't see why scientific news ought to be forced to cater to a particular political narrative. Let the main narrative fold this in along with whatever caveats they wish, leave the science publications out of it.
Many SQL abstractions substitute SQL keywords (e.g., "SELECT") for a fluent interface function (e.g., "select"). The query builder and output tend to be language-specific.

Several years ago, I prototyped a relational mapping language based on XPath expressions. The result is a database-, language-, and output-agnostic mechanism to generate structured documents from flat table structurse. Although the prototype uses XML, other formats are possible by changing the RXM library.

The queries might be bidirectional. Given a document and the RXM query that generates the document, it may be possible to update the database using the same query that produced the document. I haven't tried, though.

imo people seem to be stuck in a somewhat contrived line of reasoning about the 'choice' between taking the vaccine or getting infected. hundreds of millions of people, possibly the majority of the adult population have already contracted covid 19 involuntarily, and the vast majority of these people survived which suggests they should have developed natural immunity and yet increasingly within the first world, this immune but unvaccinated population is being faced by public and private mandates that restrict their rights and possibly put their employment at risk unless they take part in what is effectively an ongoing experiment with mrna vaccination, one that increasingly seems to confer them little actual benefit.
It is possible to prepare for such an event. Power grid providers in developed nations have been doing so over the past decade, following a near miss in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLO9WxVO9s8
> We have fresh water and food, both in global surplus.

This is a bit misleading, if only because what matters is not necessarily the aggregate amount of food but getting it where it is in demand. It would be an incredible waste of resources to ship freshwater from the Great Lakes to Northern China, for example. And most of the countries that have food security issues have issues not only with the amount of food they have, but the means to get food in people's mouths in time before spoilage.
I agree, especially if you compare it to Apple's approach of small, steady, iterative tweaks to the UI.

You can still keep the OS looking fresh and up-to-date without completely reengineering the UI with every OS generation.

Especially as this "complete reengineering" was so so so much worse each time, with additional "new" layers of (incomplete) UI being added on top of legacy UI that would inexplicably still be there. Simply the worst of all worlds.

I'm a big fan of the old Windows 2000 era UI (which partly, amazingly, still exists today), but I have no desire for it to stay around if they can just come up with something fully cohesive and all-encompassing to *fully* replace it with.
I have a little USB-C battery-powered lantern. I turn it on by tapping it, and I can dim it by holding the tapping area. If I long-press it, it turns on at its dimmest setting. It also has an RGB mode.

The main problem with in memory databases is that they are not the same database. I've had several issues which I had to find a fix that worked on one database and was legal syntax on the other. Say maybe one database allows force index but in memory does not.

I've even seen one database layer for in memory and a completely different one for real database. That means that your unit tests are not really testing your production code
You could apply that argument to about anything that isn't standard office furniture; Arcade machine, ping pong table, etc.
