That's interesting. Since May I've had symptoms that could be long covid. I did some rapid tests, and nothing ever came back positive. Since then I've been vaccinated with J&J. Did an antibody test two weeks after and nothing showed up. I'm wondering if there is any test I could do at this point to confirm if I've been infected in the past.

In the first weeks of Corona's "official" entry to the US in 2020 (1), it was reported that sick people in the NY area had to pull strings or prove contact with a known patient or recent travel to an infected area to get tested when calling the official hotline.

So nobody who caught it on a train or in an office could confirm if they needed to quarantine, which actually happened.

If that person was later admitted to a hospital, it was game over for that hospital and any elderly people sent back to their nursing home.

1. The actual entry date was likely fall 2019 because of the Wuhan Military Games and airline travel from China to the US. SF never really had a hospitalization spike in 2020, so corona infection appears to have been spread out compared to other cities and was probably endemic in 2020.

One easy one is charging electric cars. If they can be plugged in both at work and at home, there's a huge opportunity to charge when there's excess production.
That's probably a misperception.

This is good news. As wind increases on the grid we really need to move towards shiftable-load specific submetering so that an EV, water heater, etc can exploit their ability to shift demand to take advantage of times of excess renewable supply and lower prices. In CA there was a pilot of this for EVs but it seems to have fizzled out.

With today's rate structures in CA you have to choose between a plan that is optimal either for your EV or for your house but the load profile of these are very different from each other. Without 2 separate utility meters, you can't have separate rate plans.

You are moving the goalposts now. But anyway:

- The entire argument doesn't even apply to 50% of Magic.

- Even only considering constructed, it's objectively not the case that more money = more results. Sure, if you want to play competitively you have to dump ~1k/yr in it, but that's not unusual for games/sports. If you are not interested in competitive play, you can get away with a fraction of that.

Giant red herring. Unless you are playing actual competitive formats, you can make decent, almost competitive decks for literally spare change.

France does run mostly on nuclear, but the less money claim needs some serious evidence.
The reason why France can export energy more cheaply is because the cost of nuclear is pretty much all capex, so now that they have their plants it makes sense to constantly (nuclear plants can't easily be adjusted to load) run them at a high output and export excess energy. However, the overall cost is very likely much higher (the main reason why nobody wants to build new nuclear plants). France nuclear industry was (and still is?) heavily subsidised because nuclear capability (in particular military) is regarded of strategic importance.

Nuclear is most economical when run 24/7. So I don't think it will be a good backup. Hydrogen and its derivatives (ammonia, methane) will take that role, I guess.
Um, no. The enforceability about third parties discussed in this paper is about following situation:

1. A released the work under CC
2. A then transfer his economic rights of the work to B
3. then C used the CC licensed work in 1.

Under Taiwan's law, if we treat CC as traditional license then C has the right to use the work due to 1., but if we treat CC as contract then C can not invoke CC in 1. to claim usage rights from B. The author then proceed to argue that in the contract case, base on (1) If the type of use is unspecified, we should consider original intention (2) Principle of abuse of rights. Either B can only seek compensation from A by (1) or the transfer is invalid by (2).
Yes that's true. But Methane is easier to store than Hydrogen. Most countries already have infrastructure in place to store months worth of Methane. And who knows, maybe we figure out some cheap redox-flow batteries or something so that neither option is the cheapest solution. In any case, there is no need for coal or fossil gas as backup, and nuclear is probably out for economical reasons (unless we have some breakthrough in reactor design in the next five years or so)

For modern performances Stefan Jackiw soloing for Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy is my favorite piece of music. And you can fortunately watch it on YouTube. I’ve listened to a number of recordings and no others compare, not even Heifetz’s. I’d listen to Stefan Jackiw perform just about anything though, with any orchestra - something about his playing enchants me.

It's "easily" done with OBS and a green screen, however having sufficient quality for the prank to work is trickier than it sounds (matching the lighting, getting the good keying quality, avoiding the green cast, calibrating and matching the color etc).
Moving, resizing, adding is so hard. Clicking on some obscure icon within toolbar, that doesn't even feature tooltip for more explanation and then multiple clicks to get down to the operation I want...

It is natural to be able to drag. Maybe pressing some key so that doesn't happen accidentally, or have some snap in corner that must be dragged.

Resizing... we do intuitively within OS for decades...

Adding. Perhaps + sign can be added in the adjacent column/row, that spawns new one.

Having other commands within right click would also be helpful. Well, that's at least how we are used to use word/excel.

If we're charitable and assume you're not so utterly stupid as to have to seriously ask that question, we necessarily arrive at the conclusion that you ask it to derail the discussion.

Ergo, no charitable reading of your question is logically possible: You're either too stupid to live -- but you're obviously alive, so that's not it -- or you're being (even more of) an arsehole (than you probably already are all the time). Do you feel particularly proud of that?
It's surprising that the kinds of interactions you have in management is less chaotic and demanding than dealing with customers and project management. The highest stressors in my experience are the constant demands on your time, budgeting and evaluations.

Frankly, if you're happy with Google Calendar just use that. They really are very different, I'd compare remind more to working with the Google Calendar API.

You get to control remind with other tools if that suits you, but you also get to do the legwork to make all those integrations work. For my use case that includes birthday reminders generated from my abook¹ data, social reminders fetched and merged from a few different online sources, exercise reminders generated from goldencheetah² data, astronomy reminders generated with scripts over heavens-above.com, and more.

I find remind fits in to that category of tools where you make your own workflow that suits you, more than a simple tool you use. I've been using it since 2008, and my initial import was a code-assisted import from org-mode. I expect a similar transition could happen at some point in the future if I find another tool that fits my needs better.

FWIW, I have syncing across my devices but I'd sound like that infamous dropbox review if I suggested my way of working was for everyone. For example I'm happy with ical imports for visualising my calendar on my phone, and using termux for editing it when I don't have access to a real computer.

This is a comforting thought, but I don’t think it’s true.

America did seem to have a golden age. Building the Golden Gate Bridge just took a few years and was very affordable when adjusting for inflation. Compare that to the new bay bridge. Or just look at how the US mobilized during WWII to produce an insane amount of weaponry in just a few years.

Think about the people that grew up when the telegraph was high tech. Then they got to see people flying in jets. Then nuclear energy. Then they got to see people walking on the moon. All in a single life.

The insane amount of progress in a short period does seem to have slowed. And I think a big part of it is our government is woefully mismanaged. It mostly seems engineered to help other people in government. This may be why so many of the richest counties in America are the suburbs of DC, compared to centers of innovation or industry.

I've worked with state government as a volunteer advisor. They're still developing everything with waterfall. Only contracting out to big firms, even if it's a small project. Lawmakers and aides sit in a room and write down what is to be done.

That's changing at the federal level. They know they've got a problem. Why shouldn't federal software be as easy to use as the best web software? If you've ever tried to use it you will quickly learn that isn't the case.

Some sites will only work with IE and no other browser. Developers in two years can make a huge difference for making the government be more agile and operate better.

I always suggest joining a local Code For America brigade. Work on a local project and see if it is for you. If you find yourself drawn to it then consider applying for a two year stint with the federal government. You can really make a difference!

The overarching, primary use of surveillance is, always and everywhere, extortion. The person coerced is often not the person with a secret, or even the person harmed. "We know your son is doing X. Maybe in exchange for ruling on this case the way we ask, for awarding the contract to the party we suggest, by dropping prosecution of this person we designate, by firing the person we finger, we can let your son slide, this time."

Extortion is the key tradecraft of the FBI: "Testify [falsely] against this person and we will drop prosecution for this crime we have proof you did." Extortion is the key tradecraft of spies: "Get us these documents and we need not notify your daughter-in-law of your son's indiscretions." Extortion made Jeffrey Epstein a billionaire.
We don't work less today, on the contrary, we go crazy to work as much as possible. Workplace surveillance and those that pleased us with KPI increased worked density by a few factors. Line automation and workplace optimization are law by now.

High education still makes you exempt for the most part, but that will probably change as soon as possible. Working less doesn't necessarily result in an additional free day, it can also mean making work enjoyable again.

That work must mean suffering is untrue for the most part, it probably has severe negative effects on quality.

Not sure why people don't like exceptions. Throw different error classes according to the source of the problem and just handle differently in the upper classes.

throw new ErrorUser('Bad input')

-> Show friendly error messages.

throw new ErrorFatal('Db unavailable')

-> Email error to dev and quit.

I never like the verbosity of returning errors from each methods.

How hard is it to trace the stack when you're supposed to be using error logging tools like Sentry?

A society where quickest decisions are made would be either 1) dictatorship or 2) non-human, i.e. AI based. Would that be a good society to live in, I can't tell for sure. I can say for sure that democracy is designed to be slow and inefficient with regards to decision making. We humans need time to understand, think and argue. We have slow decision making system so that we may reduce chance of error. I think "fast and efficient" are wrong benchmarks.
Yeah, that's what ENS is too. You're not actually registering .eth when you register an ENS. The .eth is intended to be one of many possible TLDs, with the only distinction that .eth is the default one when you first get it.

ENS has way more adoption and 3rd party support. I think it's our only hope of overthrowing the incumbents (existing centralized DNS system)
But, like... that feels defeatist, right?

Are we saying that there have never been excellent, efficient, large organizations in the past? I feel like history tells us that, at the very least, large groups of people working in tandem have accomplished pretty amazing things.

That is, I would say, not the impression I currently have of the U.S. government; but I do think it's a little overly pessimistic to say that it couldn't get there, or get measurably better, with even a generation or two of sustained effort from really smart people. Right? I guess I don't really know.
You'd be surprised what you find if you peek out of the HN/valley/techbro bubble.
“Trusting the government to do the right thing”, which is what that pew research is checking, is a constantly moving target.

In 1955 when that trust was super high, everyone could have trusted the government to stay out of their lives and to only interfere if we had to go to war. That’s very different from people wanting the federal government to take over healthcare, energy, housing, etc.
In the same vein, I followed a few hobbyist beer brewers on a local home brewing forum go pro and the came to the same conclusion - making it your job takes all the fun out brewing.

Most programs I tested have very simple basic usage - just the program name and a list of directories. I doubt typing the above would be faster, and figuring out for the first time - definitely not. Also executing that on a million of files would take ages, even compared to slowest proper duplicate finders.

Anyway, thanks for sharing - it is always very exciting to see how far you can go with a few unix utilities and a bit of scripting :)

I don't interpret Joel as saying 'never do architecture'. I interpret him as saying something more like:

- If your goal is to create great new architecture, that's fine, go for it.

- But if your goal is to ship a product to customers, on a tight schedule – say, you are a startup trying to get an MVP out the door before the end of your runway – then you should probably not be doing more than a fairly minimal amount of architecture, and you should beware of the temptation to do so.

Note that both your examples were created by people employed by large, wealthy organizations (MIT and AT&T respectively) that could afford to give them plenty of time to explore interesting new ideas. That's a great situation to be in, the world would be a better place if we put more people in that situation, and if you are in it, then you should take advantage of it. But if you are unfortunately not in it, then you should be aware of that fact.
Nope, no special API what so ever. In fact there's even a Firefox add-on that makes it work[0], Google Meet just doesn't target more than Chromium with this feature.

If you try using it, they'll redirect you here[1], and tell you to:

> Check if your browser supports WebGL 2.0 at webglreport.com and verify that “Major Performance Caveat” is marked as “No”.

...but clicking on that site from Firefox shows WebGL 2.0 support and "Major Performance Cavet" is indeed marked as "no". That being said, simply changing the user agent to Chrome also doesn't work.

So in conclusion, I end up using Chromium a few hours per week purely for Google Meet's blurry backgrounds, and I use Firefox for everything else.

I am also a heavy IntelliJ user but have been using emacs on the side. emacs is fantastic and you only need very basic knowledge of it to be able to effectively use it and org-mode. Don't let the "everything is a shortcut" tutorials/videos about emacs stop you from trying: emacs can be used as any other app: with the mouse, clicking and scrolling around... most IntelliJ shortcuts to edit text will work the same on emacs (a few require you to install a couple of packages, if you want I can send you which ones I use to get a very IJ-like experience).
