Definitely agree: come from a position of empathy for why the PM chose excel.

Spreadsheets offer a lot to PMs that tools like GitHub, JIRA simply can't:

- Bulk editing quickly

- Very high information density for getting a "bird's eye view"

- Excellent keyboard command support for fast navigation

- Formatting capabilities to add metadata (using colors, bolds, etc.)

- Flexibility to easily add columns for ad-hoc analysis

- Control over what information to show (via hidden columns & row filters)

- It's a 'least common denominator' product that can be shared with others across departments without fuss

- Ability to make things "look pretty" to enhance the perception of your work

- Editorial control -- to shift dates & language based on the intended audience

In short, the data governance you get from systems like GitHub and Jira are fantastic for keeping things from getting disorderly. But with all due respect to them (GitHub CEO Nat Friedman is an investor of ours), people working with data in these apps need speed & flexibility that only a spreadsheet can offer.

It was for this reason that my company pivoted. We discovered that users preferred working in spreadsheets, but they tried (and failed) to integrate data from Jira, Salesforce, HubSpot, and others.

We set out to build the world's first spreadsheet that was designed from the ground-up for working with integrated data. We wanted to cut out the third-party integrations & field mapping headaches.

If you'll pardon a little self promotion, check out our product: https://visor.us

Or (newly) here on the Atlassian marketplace:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226209/visor-flexibl...

Your data could ultimately live in Jira, but the PM could get the spreadsheet capabilities they need. Feedback and ideas welcome.
Lipid nanoparticles, and the research done around their ability to serve as transport and safety, are the real technological breakthrough here.

Not to say the mRNA technology isn't amazing, but if we had it but no LNPs, we'd have a whole lot of nothing.
Samsung and Intel are the other two closest fabs in terms of technical capability. TSMC is clearly in the lead right now. And while the gap is very large in technology cycle terms (they're between 1 and 2 generations ahead at this point), in real world terms (like... considering what a fucking gongshow China invading Taiwan would be), it's not -that- big of a deal. It'd be a major speedbump, but not world changing (as opposed to the other ramifications of an invasion).
But datacenter CPU/GPUs take the same wafers, machines, and factory time slots as consumer GPUs. Which that is the price increase this article is about.
Accounts are bought and sold. Just because the mod account has been the same for years doesn't mean it's the same person behind the keyboard.

Mod accounts for popular subject and location subs are highly valued and sought after by people looking to move the overton window of discourse on those topics.
By cost of traffic i mean: cost of acquiring users/clients. Nowadays it makes everything which is not a clickbaity, addiction-based scam, pretty much futile. Slowly but surely, Internet becomes a land of sociopaths, no one else gets to make much money.
Yes, it's very easy to see causation when there is only correlation.
That's a weird response. The essay's argument is that Jeopardy should retain the strength it had under Alex Trebek of being a game show that 'celebrates knowledge and intelligence when other game shows prefer slapstick humor or simple tasks'
I browse pics at r/WeWantPlates. Reddit is great for that as long as old.reddit.com works, NSFW subreddits are also great link aggregators for specific niches. Other than that I don't know why would anyone want to be there
The short answer is that it is virus-like initially, in that it bypasses the cells passive defenses to enter the cell intact, but the payload can’t reproduce itself, so it dies out almost immediately afterwards, unlike a virus.
GPUs are a marginal factor in this. The main factors are several impacts from Covid-19, US trade restrictions on SMIC chip exports from China (a big supplier of low and mid-range chips which this is actually all about), and the Taiwan drought.

The Covid-19 impact itself is multi-pronged. Many chip plants closed or reduced output due to the lockdowns, but also the silicon used in chip production is the same material used to manufacture vials so vaccine production also impacts high quality silicon availability. Finally early in the epidemic a lot of manufacturers that consume chips, such as car makers, cut production. This lead to some chip foundries being closed as they were non-viable and it's taking a long time for those foundries to get re-commissioned or other foundries to expand to make up the gap in capacity.
30xx series Nvidia GPUs were manufactured on Samsung btw.
The short answer is "no." You should still do a check. And maybe spray some pemethrin on shoes/socks/trousers

The longer answer is that they're much more likely to get on you if you're walking through tall grass. They're bad this summer and I've mostly gotten them when walking through grass (on a trail I've actually been avoiding). But I have gotten 2 or 3 others.
Three is an ever-green game. It requires more strategy and planning than 2048. I still play it, over five years since I bought it. Easily worth the $6 to purchase.
Yep, surprisingly many sites blur with css.
Just checked, she's hardly ever mentioned in Dutch news articles, and if she is, almost never in the headline. In other words, easy to miss.
Right. If AMD and Intel both got out of the fab business, on account of it being low margin, then TSMC would promptly yoink their collective margin, because if you choose the king you get to charge for the privilege. Fortunately Intel decided to compete instead.

See also: AMD and NVidia, and whichever other pairs rely on leading-edge nodes.
Vendor lock-in absolutely figures into a hell of a lot of user-hostile tech. Even before Apple went full spyware, I refused to buy iThings on principle, just due to Apple's abuse of its customers and developers (ever-changing connectors, unrepairability, needing to get Apple's blessing, revocable at the drop of a hat, to even write software for them, etc.).

Android is very far from perfect, but for now it's at least still usable, except that manufacturers have decided to follow Apple's lead on unrepairability. But at this point I'm preparing myself to do without, as I'm not optimistic about the future of smartphones. I was a holdout for a long time anyway, and the whole "Install our app! <small>which, by the way, also sucks down your contact list and mines cryptocoins</small>" thing has gotten out of hand.
> Advocates will defend this by saying most energy usage is renewable.

Even if true (iirc there is a lot of doubt whether it is, see Iran), it's still moronic, because consuming renewable energy for shits and giggles obviously means that other energy demands are being met with your usual energy mix instead of that renewable energy that went into shits and giggles as assumed. In terms of net emissions it simply doesn't really matter whether you A) use non-renewable energy for BS or B) use renewable energy for BS, displacing other energy users to non-renewables.

The simple fact of the matter is that there is no free lunch and there is NO ecological way of randomly wasting energy.
> Symbol versioning does not prevent you from updating the implementation of old symbol versions in a compatible way.

As I understand the problem is that if application is compatible with both version X and X+1, then there is no way to compile binary that would preferentially use X+1 when available but also work with X.

So applications can not reap the benefits of new version without dropping support with old version.
So, does Linux plan to grow 14% in 10 years?
My bad, I had read the parent quickly & thought they'd said "I still don't know what it means" rather than "I still know what it means" so just wanted to expand the jargon for the thread here.

Agree with you re: screenreaders.
How cares? I mean, sure if you want to do a shiny applications for consumers, you care. But 99% of the business software doesn't care and wants something that just works.

I use alert, confirm and prompt a lot because it's the simpler way to notify the user, ask for confirmation or ask some input that just works, in all browsers, with vanilla JavaScript, without having to code any CSS (that I hate), or including huge frameworks.

They are used extensively in all enterprise software, where you don't need to be fancy but need to produce something that works reliably.

Removing them to me is a terrible idea. More terrible if there are not alternatives to these, yes there is the dialog API that is supported only by Chrome, and it's not as simple as the good old alert, prompt or confirm functions. And we know that in the enterprise world we would have to wait years to have all the browsers compatible with new APIs, there are still a ton of people that uses Internet Explorer...

By the way this is a so big breaking change that to me would require a new version of HTML entirely. To the point where the browsers if they encounter a old HTML document they keep the old behavior. But they removed the DTD with HTML5 leaving just <!doctype html> that to me was a terrible idea.
The way Netflix presents thumbnail images custom tailored to the user is ingenious. There is a lot of insight there on how people choose content based on preferences for star actors, subject matter, tone etc.

Personally however, as an avid film viewer, this massive algorithmic curation is completely not for me.

A cool example and complete opposite of the Netflix approach is the Mubi approach. There, the focus is not on giving me exactly what I think I want, but instead on offering this narrow curated selection along with content written by actual film critics. As a result I watch things that I did not expect.

This curation aspect is something Netflix strategically completely opted out of. And this makes sense - their goal is to have an active subscriber base and achieving that goal doesn't factor in the existing film/tv culture.
> covid has been a pathetic, fumbling showing, one that clearly reflects institutional decay and foreshadows future decline -- the reverse of the first situation

Against a totally novel virus, we developed and widely deployed vaccines with efficacies beyond anyone’s wildest dreams using totally novel technology in the span of a year. Not sure that quite meets my definition of “pathetic.”
You should assume the strongest interpretation of the comments you reply to, it leads to better conversations and is part of the site's guidelines.

I disagree about the fact that they're unfounded having read the comment I replied to, therefore it follows I do not believe the results of the FDA's investigation are conclusive. I illustrate this with the Hep-B vaccine for which the health-autorities have not found a causal link, yet the legal system implicitly acknowledges one. There's also my personal experience with the Pfizer vaccine of which some side-effects are not being reported, putting into question any scientific conclusion that'd be reached from the incomplete data that is being gathered.
Are they still using qt 5.6?
> postgres db. running on podman (docker-compose), fedora server.

Is there a reason to prefer Fedora Server over Fedora CoreOS for running containers?
I just wish it would close when you click the X. Instead it minimizes.

Steam does this too, I can't believe Microsoft allows this behavior.
"get them pulled into the legal system once it is flagged, where the process itself is the punishment"

This is the real threat here. Anyone can have data flagged at any time, by accident or maliciously. Like how any video can be flagged for copyright infringement and the creator is 'punished by the process' regardless of guilt/innocence. A possible fix would be to have severe financial punishments for every false claim (lets say a million bucks per instance). Imagine how careful the system would be designed if that were the case, verses the case where there is no punishment for false claims.
Static typing in python isn't "cargo culting." In fact I'd go even farther in the opposite direction, and say that if you are using python for production software engineering, and aren't typing most (>50%) of your function signatures, you are wasting everybody's time, your teams', code reviewers', and most of all your own time. Opinion, but empirical experience bears this out for me.

I'm not talking mypy --strict here, heck I've yet to achieve that myself. But if your are writing functions with obvious realizations of interfaces and not typing them, all you are doing is creating more mental strain for the next consumer (often future you) of that function down the road.

At $LASTCO I inherited some jupyter-notebook-copy-pasted datascience ML abomination of a pipeline. Dicts everywhere, mutation everywhere, zero docstrings, nary a type hint in sight. Took two exceptionally stressful months, with constant back and forth with the authors, to get it working in prod ("it works on my machine, I don't understand the problem"). $THISCO embraces type hints, functional style, etc. My stress level has actually normalized.

Typing `foo(bar: Optional[float])` takes what, 2s, more than `foo(bar)`? Asking "hey Steve, what does "bar" take in function "foo"? on slack is already more time and characters than just annotating it, times every dev that doesn't know and has to ask.
Very nice; I haven't used it, but I gather that Fortran-80 was severely lacking in string handling.

That said, I feel compelled to point out that one shouldn't judge Fortran as a whole by the need for a library like this in a 40 year old version of the language. I'm still learning the language, so I can't speak with a lot of authority, but it seems to me that, while Fortran is never going to be my favorite language for text munging, its string handling has come a long, long way between then and the Fortran 2018 standard.
Fast and Cheap Ways to Find UX Research Participants
The other thing is that typically Holter monitors do not provide real time analysis. Patients usually put them in the mail, at which point the 14 day data is reviewed. If you know of some recent advancements (real time, multiple leads, FDA approved for interval measurements) would love to get a link. Thanks!
What's the use case for Attrs in a post-dataclasses world? I use dataclasses all the time, and I've never felt the need to reach for Attrs. What am I missing out on?
Yep, same as last year. And Texas and Florida have had more cases in the summer, for similar reasons.
You're right that I was overly aggressive in my argument, and for that I apologize, but that questions were asked with genuine curiosity. Please explain the nuance to me - if the only way to enforce rights is "guns" and "If someone is unwilling to defend their self, then that is their problem, and hopefully not the problem of others." then people don't have rights, they have no guarantee, they only have what they can take or defend by force, and force is the only deciding factor. What am I misinterpreting there?
Reminding me of that place in india on a coastal temple, where there was an arrow put up in ancient time. It has a text in Sanskrit that says that it points to South pole and there is no land between the arrow and south pole. Not able to recall the name. Something like that
Honest question here. What is so good about discord? It reminds me more if IRC than a modern chat app. I really don't get it. Maybe I am missing something?
Are there really a lot of viruses lying in wait for current viruses to get out of the way before they can start spreading? I find that hard to believe
Show HN: CTO Toolkit (Info Product for Tech Leaders)
In theory yes, but there is a whole lot of empty ocean in all directions but the north (New Zealand nonwithstanding), and that happens to be an intensely monitored region of the globe due to Australia's desire to prevent refugee arrivals by boat. "Stop the boats" is Australia's "build the wall".

Whether the border force will put any effort into apprehending a boat that's leaving, rather than entering, I can't say, however it's hard to slip under the radar (or sonar, as the case may be).

Shareholder who? Why would I, a shareholder, want corporations to pursue business strategies that leads to avoidable disaster and ultimately loss of profit?
54 Years Late, Dorothy Parker Finally Gets a Tombstone
No experience, but the shop (https://shop.jolla.com/ ) claims "Android App Support" so I'd expect you can run most apps.
This view denies the reality of the situation at hand. They had an extremely popular candidate of color, famous for their love of knowledge and beloved by Americans, who very much fit the role and culture of the show -- and they chose some generic, unlikable, unknown white guy instead. Abdul-Jabbar has a good point.
A big green "AGREE ALL" button is explicitly non-compliant, though.

In theory one could preemptively block all consent popups and requests and continue to surf the website without being tracked, if the GDPR had any teeth.
> Would any user benefit from this?

Corporate types will just self-delude themselves to always answer "yes" to this.

Recently, a telemarketer called me to sell me solar panels. Initially I thought he was calling me about my existing solar panels, so I asked, "Are you trying to sell me something, or do I already have a relationship with you."

His answer, "I'm not calling to sell you something. I'm calling to tell you about the blah blah blah."
Yep, headline is literally what the researchers said is not happening... sigh.
Simple Agreement for Responsibilities and Equity (SURE) for earliest-stage teams
Heyho!

Many less experienced early-stage founders (like me) miss to talk about all essentials you should talk about, before start working together.

The idea is to establish a simple agreement that covers everything from equity split to personal run rate to fundraising philosophy.

Its supposed to prevent founder teams from breaking up due to misunderstandings or "I cant remember agreeing to this"s.

This is why I developed the Founder's Handshake and would love to get your feedback on it!

What do you think is important early on?
How should this agreement be structured?

Looking forward to hear your take on this!

Cheers
Johannes
They have all the data they can extract from each HTTP request, plus 100% of all data stored on their end.

Discord web app has a track record from everyone you ever spoke with, where you where when each sentence was written, who the people you talk to were.

All Web apps track, there are no exceptions, unless you are talking about some hobby stuf written by yourself.
> First, vaccines prevent infection in the first place so the virus never has a chance to replicate and mutate

Ideally, yes, but in practice people still tend to develop a viral load, their immune system kicks in faster, and the result is a very brief infection.

>Second, there isn't anything about vaccine acquired immunity thats different from infection acquired immunity

This is not true with the mRNA vaccines.
This.

A few years ago, I subscribed to Netflix. That was it (no cable, no other streaming). The amount of good content was reasonable.

Now, I have to cycle through Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Apple, and Amazon. I unsubscribed to most of them most of the time, and resubscribe as a show or movie comes to my attention (Dune will get me resubscribed to HBO for a month or two, etc).

I still spend less on streaming than I did on cable, but if the whole ecosystem gets any more fractured or any more expensive or any more annoying to navigate, I'll probably start cancelling and just find something else to do.

Unfortunately, finding books isn't much better, or I'd likely spend more time reading than watching TV. But a bad book, for me, is 100x worse than a bad TV show.
If you want glibc, why use Alpine? Mainstream distributions are for glibc. Alpine exists specifically as a musl-based thing.
mRNA?

J.G.'s death involved an experimental modified adenovirus (the same family of viruses used as the vector for several non-mRNA COVID vaccines: Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, Astrazenica/Oxford, and Sputnik V).
That, or patent licensing issues. Since they seem to be positioning themselves as a privacy-oriented OS for governments and businesses, maybe they decided that their market lies elsewhere, and that licensing IP for the US is not worth it.
GPU's are market-rate goods?
But the man in the middle would just do the receiving and then resending it to the real recipient with a new key.
In a side note I usually read that those rashes are only present in 30% of cases or so. Probably good advice to get checked out if you suspect an infection. Multiple times, if necessary, as the testing also doesn't appear to have a high degree of accuracy.
according to Our World in Data they hit 133k in January and are only 89k right now, and approx flat for the last 5 days:

I think the best solution here would be challenge trials. With it without them we are relying on people getting sick. With challenge trials we just reduce how many people outside the trial get sick as well because we can massively cut down on time. I'd be more than happy to take the new vaccine and get exposed to Delta. It's a easy way to make a huge contribution to society.
Ask any industry if they want a fat tax on their products to take advantage of the effect you describe.
The only good social media search is Twitter's.
I didn't think the cookie law is actually an intrinsic part of GDPR. But I could be wrong. I know you are supposed to make it clear that you are collecting data, and allow opt out.

So, I can see the political point in "setting fire to the cookie law" whilst basically being GDPR in all but name.

however, given the power of the present government to cock things up, I suspect they are going to make some stupid changes that threaten our equivalence with the EU. The EU will happily remove it, thus making it harder to trade in the EU.

I notice some murmuring about science. I suspect that means they'll try and make it simpler to wholesale sell off the fetid datamine that is NHS medical history. However if we are lucky, they'll also undermine the concept of informed consent for anything to do with research/data, which will be fun.
More configurability, slots by default, faster to create the class object. I've heard stories that loading a module with a lot of dataclasses defined in it can be really slow. Basically dataclasses are for the people who can't afford a 3rd-party dependency for whatever reason.
Technology Can Help with the Restaurant Labor Shortage
Nice list, and what is the market share of them?
I have a gas powered boiler that heats my home and makes my hot water. Based on my gas bill, it’s incredibly efficient. But it still emits co2. Is there a “home scale” scrubber I can plug into its exhaust port? Can I do my own DAC?
I was in power save mode, but I had a mortgage, car payment and had to pay family health insurance, so I had a high cost of living. It was still well worth it. People with the stress of high obligations and families really need the break, but they are the least likely to be able to afford it.
I’m not sure I deserve the personal attack. I’m also not sure how else to describe folks who get the majority of their “news” from Facebook.
Type hints just make everything so much easier. When you're writing a function, you _know_ that parameter is an int, or float, or something you can use a list comprehension on (iterable). Why not just say it right there in the function definition?

It's better than writing it in a docstring, because a type checker will tell you to change the type if you change how you use a variable.

Does everyone need to go all the way and type 100% of things and use heavily generic code to represent all possible cases? Well, that would be wonderful, but just sprinkling built-in types is already a massive improvement over no types at all.
