Windy has multiple models which is great to check how reliable the forecast is - if they diverge then its a clue. In general, the forecasts are great where there is a lot of good input data, like in western Europe and around the Alps. In eastern europe and on the ocean the forecasts can be way off. This is a risk because the pretty graphics and high time resolution somehow associate with precise forecasts.
I wish weather forecasters would be more upfront about the accuracy of their forecast.

For example "Our rain/no rain 2 day in advance forecast for Seattle was accurate 280 days last year".

If all providers published that, I would be able to get my weather from the best forecaster for my area rather than guessing.

Bonus points if there is a more scientifically rigorous metric to compare by that they all publish.

Based on that study from Israel, it seems like the highest level of protection is being vaccinated + natural immunity, followed by natural immunity by itself, then vaccination itself. But natural immunity is not considered an alternative in this mandate, which makes it feel highly political and not science based.

I can completely understand the risk analysis of someone who has already had Covid not wanting to get the vaccine based on the available data.
> You can't say both "I'm not responsible for their political viewpoints" and "I'm free to select the political viewpoints of my members".

not only can you say that, it's pretty much a requirement for public platforms to exist on the internet. You are on Hackernews right now. If Hackernews was legally liable for the content users create, it would cease to exist. Likewise, if not being liable meant Hackernews could not moderate the site as they see fit, it would go to hell.

You should be able to make a Christian platform, a left wing platform, a conservative platform, moderate accordingly, and still be able to operate it without facing legal threats that would immediately render operating it impossible. The reason platforms have both rights is why we have a public internet.

> China has already mandated N95s...

The part of China that the west should be copying is the "It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white; as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat" approach of experimenting with policies to figure out which ones work in practice. Not the authoritarian systems underpinning the surveillance and control. More 1990 Hong Kong, less 2020 Hong Kong.
Dunno why, but a quick glance at that article made me go "oh, it's just wave interference" and all the "look at the weird geometric shape at the pole of this planet" things suddenly made perfect sense.

... I mean, that might not actually be the explanation, but that's the intuition those bucket-photos brought to mind.

[EDIT] Clearly the "just", above, is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but you stretch some waves into a circle and then squish them down (say, against a point, like a pole) and you're gonna get polygon-ish shapes, right? The particulars are probably complex, but the notion that you'd get "artificial"-looking shapes at poles seems natural, now.
> it's starting to look like "casual" mask wearing (fabric masks loosely worn and taken off regularly for eating etc) is mostly just pointless hygiene theater at this point.

No one has ever proven that mask mandates worked for covid, and it has been more than a year that we know that places which had a mask mandate didn't have a different trajectory that place that did, or that mask mandate didn't change the trajectory of the covid cases. So this is common knowledge at this point.

But the same way the market can stay irrational longer than you are solvable. A useless measure can stay in place longer that we know it has no effect

For a large company it often makes little sense to directly hire temp employees and/or vet contractors.

The fact that a cottage industry of less than law abiding contracting agencies provide services to Google is more an issue of CA's employee protection laws than Google's responsibility.

Consider the current/default rate of wage theft via salary employees not paid for overtime despite being eligible; it's rampant in the SE industry because it's logistically easier to pay someone 10% more than to keep track of occasional overtime.

Therefore whenever a large company contracts something out to a smaller company, you should immediate expect more shady practices. My point is that Google's only role in this case is making something unknown... known - plenty of small shops unrelated to FAANGs break the same rules.

Ubuntu by default pairs Bluetooth headsets as A2DP, which has higher quality for music but no mic-support. You have to go in to Ubuntu bluetooth sound settings and change the output device to headset mode every god damn time you turn on the headset. And then toggle it back to A2DP if you want to listen to music again. I don't know how Windows or iOS deals with this but there both modes seem to work seamlessly.

Nix is still trying to be a thing that replaces other build tools. The generated nix file is a recipe for doing what “npm publish” does when it builds a tgz. Every single language has a different way of doing this, and will require its own *2nix to be maintained alongside changes to eg package.json, Cargo.toml, Package.swift. The 2nix bit is the hard part; every package manager has to be re-implemented.

Docker does not have this problem at all. Every build tool on earth works with it, with zero configuration.

Compile_commands.json may have similar output to node2nix etc, but it infects nothing, replaces nothing. It works with all the different makefile alternatives with no additional effort. The closest similarity is with Docker: Docker builders intercept at the file system layer, covering every build system ever; compile_commands at the standard GCC-compatible shell arguments layer, covering ~all C build systems and compilers. Nix does not intercept anywhere, it asks you to use a new tool to do everything from scratch in a Nix-compatible way, covering no build systems.

That’s not to say it isn’t great when you have already built a Nixified package manager replacement for your specific language ecosystem. But it’s not going to take over the world like Docker and compile_commands did. Imploring people to give it a shot is the only way, unfortunately. I will remain open to it, especially if someone can figure out a force-multiplier for these 2nix implementations.

Bluetooth headsets (I have Bose) and automatic input switching works with pipewire, fractional scaling with different settings for each monitor works with Wayland.

I am using it on Archlinux without any problems whatsoever.

The problem with Ubuntu is - when it releases their latest version, it is already shipping a couple years old software versions.

And for pipewire, wayland, mesa and other desktop related things you want to run the latest version at all times. This is one of the major reasons why Valve chose Archlinux as a base for their new SteamOS version for Steam Deck.
This. Been using seamless mode on virtualbox for a decade(s)?, have a full terminal on windows, and now i can run vscode in my linux vm while in a windows desktop. I just use mate and with hide buttons on the panel enabled.

Trying it in Rome. Visually it’s great, but the data quality is way behind Google.

I only checked a handful of places that I know well, but nearly all have some kind of issue. I get:

- A very popular local restaurant with incorrect opening and closing times (closes at 10pm according to Apple, 2am in reality and Google)

- A supermarket with everything correct

- A pet food shop which has no opening hours (unlike Google)

- a pasticceria which doesn’t exist (this is one people queue in the street for)

- a gelateria with incorrect closing times

If the data was reliable I would switch, everything else is better than Google Maps.

Eric Is Making a Watch Honoring the Apollo 15 Moon Mission
Someone posted a facetious comment ("Stupid Chinese bat flu. Deadly enough to be problem. Not deadly enough to be solution.") in reply to an even more offensive one earlier ("Florida needs thinning out anyway" or something along those lines.) Both were quickly sent to -4 [dead] land, but I do think there's an underlying truth behind the offensive sentiment that is going unappreciated.

If we were dealing with some kind of hemorrhagic fever that spread like wildfire through all cross-sections of the population, sending dying people lurching into the street within a few hours of infection, moaning and bleeding from their eyes, there would be no controversy.

We wouldn't have antivaxxers making up all kinds of ridiculous reasons to avoid the shot, we wouldn't have state governors suing the President or vice versa, and we wouldn't think twice about yanking the broadcast licenses of any Fox or Sinclair affiliates who spread misinformation or otherwise spewed propaganda against best public health practices. We would have something to unite against, rather than something to further divide us.

But that's not what happened. The bug is bad but not that bad. It "almost never" kills children, it targets "old" or "fat" people disproportionately, and it "only" kills about 1% of patients. It is bad enough to bring out the worst differences among us, but not bad enough to make us set those differences aside.

If an enemy nation sent troops to our shores with orders to kill even 0.1% of our population, we'd all rise up to defeat them... but somehow a virus is different. The virus gets a free pass from 30%-40% of our population which is strongly (but admittedly not exclusively) correlated with a specific political party.

Makes no sense, but then, not much does these days.
Social media companies have too much power. As Justice Clarence Thomas articulated, big social media platforms should be treated as common carriers (https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/04/clarence-thomas-is-ri...). They’re not very different from your phone company or other utility. They are the new public square where civil liberties like free speech are most frequently exercised. Viewpoint discrimination on these platforms is bad for a liberal society, and plainly oppressive. Political viewpoints should constitute a protected class that should be protected under anti-discrimination laws. There are many ways in which they can be legally compelled to carry speech, as a UCLA Professor recently analyzed (https://reason.com/volokh/2021/07/09/the-first-amendment-and...).
Slightly OT, but does anyone have tips for running nvim with docker?

Typically my vim runs in an environment where I won't necessarily have all interpreters and linters installed. I run my apps, e.g. rails, in a docker container together with ruby etc. Other apps use JS, or python etc. But my dev box won't have all those directly installed. Not to mention using different versions.

I kinda managed to hack neomake[0] to run rubocop via docker-compose, but it wasn't easy and not all linters support something like this... What's the best way to solve this? add (neo)vim to each app docker container that I use? Or is there some trick to let it access all those dockerized interpreters/linters?

That is precisely my thought as well. Embarcadero/Inprise/Borland have priced themselves out of the market.

Also, in this time and age not including database connectivity to "enterprise" databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL out of the box is bizarre.

Stuff such as Interbase connectivity is something hardly anyone needs anymore but that is packaged as standard while much more needed features such as connectivity to other databases, extended REST controls etc is available only in more expensive versions of the IDE.

I wish they sold a single version of the IDE (under $200) with additional options available as add-ons which can be purchased commercially. Example: FMX GUI.

Is that accurate? I don't think victims of discrimination actually make from such settlements, especially compared to the salaried positions of their abusers, measured against loss of income from blacklisting and lasting damages from abuse. I think the myth of "big discrimination payout" is designed specifically to pre-emptively discredit whistleblowers (especially survivors of sexual/emotional abuse).

You can choose to look away, but never again can you say "you didn't know."
I love how you make it seem everything you say is 100% logical.

When even the dogs in the street know that (for example) when you sneeze in to your arm as we have been taught at school (like wearing a mask of sorts, right?) it’s better than when you sneeze straight out in the open, spreading your potential infection. The only problems I see with masks are people politicizing them.
I’m not sure other stuff China does has to do with them mandating N95 masks because cloth masks are not effective enough? The parent comment makes the same observation, which isn’t invalidated by china’s authoritarian tendencies.
I've been a Linux user since 1995 and run Windows + WSL2 on my desktop machines. It's not too deep and pretty similar to why so many folks were drawn to Macs; a no brains just works GUI with the ability to launch a terminal and do real work on a UNIX-like system.

I can use a single machine to do everything I need, without rebooting and without making sacrifices.

I can watch Netflix and play games, without needing to write a f'n shell script to fix the screen tearing present in the nvidia driver - or realizing a particular game has quirks or doesn't work in Proton, so I just have to throw up my arms and say "Well, I guess we just don't play that game".

I can pop open a terminal anytime and have access to a real Linux system, as opposed to the faux "uncanny valley linux" solutions like Cygwin and Git Bash that seem to work until they don't. And unlike a traditional VM there's no management involved; I open the terminal when I need it and close it when i'm done, just like a normal application.
