There is a huge market for wall scans (for non-intrusive wire routing) and a huge market for automatically generated floor plans and structural analysis (for real estate and renovation markets) and yet there are very few products that are effective in this space, which leads me to believe that the technology here is very much proof-of-concept and rarely if ever useful for anything other than a toy for research.

If you can do keyhole scanning of room layouts then productize it!
Yeah exactly. I cannot reliably get either WSL(1/2) or Bash for Windows installed on every device I own. It worked seamlessly on half of them and I can't figure out anything about why the others don't work at all.
I use tmux to organize terminal windows in a project. One of those windows is running vim, where the coding happens. A big chunk of my time is spent writing, running and fixing tests. And so I keep switching back and forth between vim and shell windows. It goes like this: I choose a single test or a test file in vim and it's then sent to another tmux window to run. When the test fails, I want to jump back to vim, with some file from the stacktrace opened.
This should sound familiar to the IDE users: that's what you get when you click on an individual line in a stacktrace in vscode/intellij/etc shell. It's a pretty basic feature. It's also an important one as it removes frictions from the flow.

I haven't been able to find this for the vim + tmux combo[*]. And so I had to do it myself[**]. It's a tmux plugin. It's not vim specific and it can open more than just file links. However, as the end result is more generic, it's worth stressing that the main itch to scratch was to support the above workflow.

[*]: I've since learned about vim-test[1] with quickfix strategy which sort of fits the bill

[**]: For posterity: this wasn't the first attempt. Prior to that I was using a kitty's terminal[2] hints plugin with a bit of python code on top[3], but it really falls short for multi pane windows

Great story. Thanks Dang, and thanks Dom!
Maybe? We have been studying vaccines and how they work since the 1800s...we have a lot more history with vaccines and how they work compared to a Coronavirus.

And two of the available vaccines don't even give you a dead infection like most vaccines - you can't get COVID from the COVID shot (Moderna or Pfizer)
As a Vivaldi user I'm quite happy to see my default browser as a default for Manjaro Cinnamon. I've been using it since 1.x on both desktop and mobile (after they added the adblocker).

From my point of view, I try FOSS alternatives but if I don't like them... I don't like to spend time changing CSS files or messing with configurations. I spent quite a lot of time doing just that for Pale Moon and then Firefox. These days, I just use closed ones (or none).

But... From the FOSS point of view, Vivaldi is closed source and we shouldn't use it.
I keep ungoogled-chromium as an alternative on my desktop devices and Bromite on Android for sensitive stuff (things like banking).

Still, I hope that someday Vivaldi makes its source available. Even if it's mostly a custom Chromium base with a React user interface (and quite complete actually) on top.

I was in the Army and ended up in a research facility. The first computer I programmed on we had to assemble first and we entered the program by flipping switches on the front panel. After a while we graduated to using a Model 33 teletype and a paper tape reader and we only had to enter the boot code via the switches. I found that I really liked the challenge of figuring out how to make the machine do what I wanted and continued from there. This was in 1976.
Ah, that's interesting. Speaking from personal experience (and as an atheist, who happened to grow up in a religious household), I think many atheists are too quick to dismiss the value of rituals/prayers/meditations. As you pointed out, there can be value even if the deity to whom the prayer is offered doesn't exist or isn't listening.

For example, growing up my family began and ended each meal with a prayer of, essentially, thanksgiving, with a few other requests thrown in ("keep us safe", etc.) This delimited the meal time: we were there for the duration, we all started eating together and there was no leaving before the meal had ended. I don't remember the prayer any more but I do have fond memories of family dinners, the unity and connection we all experienced during that time and the spirited conversations they featured. Prayers of thanksgiving also center the experience of eating in one of gratitude.
That's really interesting! Did the hospital or staff seem to have trouble keeping up with patients?

Two things can be broken. But people who choose to be unvaccinated are imposing themselves as an added burden on society, and are acting selfish, though they're not even doing that because they're failing to protect themselves too.
Wearing a seatbelt saves others besides you - people die and are injured by getting hit from non-seatbelt wearers, particularly those in the vehicle with them.

Helmet laws for motorcycles? I'm generally against them for the reason that it doesn't affect others (except in really weird edge cases) and I don't think we should mandate people risking their own lives (Except in situations where people don't realize the danger they are in)

That was by design, because when it was designed, ide's like we have now didn't exist so being able to change a variable to an array from a function or vice versa was made easier. There is another reason and that mathematically an array is a function.

Are you super pessimistic about the future of this profession?
I first tried the original only a few years ago, and couldn’t stand the gameplay. Combat felt slow and clunky, boring and annoying.

So I’m hoping this remake has combat similar to fallen order, or something like it. I’m not a fan of turn based, but I know many are, so hopefully they can allow the player to choose without either one feeling gimped.

The idea that distractions hurt productivity is not surprising but this doesn't sound like anything other than solution by committee. If something isn't working, create a team to sort it out.

Sorry, but the team is already there. If your developers don't have the ears of a manager(s) who can sort out their woes then it is a disfunctional company and this idea just creates a tonne more expenditure and a team who will try to ensure that they appear to be worthwhile by producing metrics and charts.
No it doesn't. It downloads a list routinely and checks requests against it locally. Firefox takes it even further and proxies that request so it appears to be coming from them.

It would be extremely wasteful and privacy-invasive if they issued a query to Safe Browsing for every request.

I figure remote work will eliminate cubes for engineers regardless. Like many companies, internal surveys show a lot of people preferring perma WFH. With so much empty space, why build out cube farms for the few people that are left in the office? Private offices would be yet another amenity touted by the company.

Personally, I really want to be back in my company's open office plan of tiny cubes. I don't have a strong preference for cube or office, I just liked my healthy commute and being in a bustling downtown.
They have been saying our jobs are obsolete because AI longer than that anyway. The stuff that codex generates is not the work we do and as such it's pretty useless. I see AI more in frontend code: have designers think up things and have the AI generate React that gives the best possible (machine learned) user experience from those designs (like: this looks like a form with a list right next to it: that will be best with this html on mobile and desktop). At least that seems possible now while writing code that adds value outside that rather does not.

Stop. You're intentionally skewing what's being said and making the problem worse.

It seems the worst thing you can say about Vivaldi is that it’s closed source. I actually really like Vivaldi when I want a bloated browser experience (sometimes I do). I’ve been jumping between Vivaldi and Qutebrowser on my Linux box. Qute us amazing except when it isn’t, which is about 10% of the time.

Im not sure how much I care about browsers being proprietary as long as the engine is open source (I really like safari). If there’s evidence that Vivaldi is doing terrible things with my usage data then I’ll likely change back to FF.
How to Integrate Unity and Flutter?
The ships have to live somewhere too. They are not submarines and I think they'd be sitting ducks. Mobile launch vehicles have a better chance of surviving a first strike and retaliating. Russia will likely sell their hypersonics to those that can afford them.

Taiwan doesn't need to protect strategic overseas assets. It doesn't need to go hunt a strike group. It needs to protect itself from invasion.
A couple weeks ago, we were invited to share some of the cool stuff we´ve been building at Hattrick https://hattrick-it.com and we wanted to share it with you as well!

The messaging company Sendbird invited our CEO Martín and our CTO Gastón to share our team´s experience on integrating Flutter and Unity into a single IoT device at the 6th Episode of their Code Cafe. The Code Cafe is a live talk series for developers and passionate problem solvers created by Sendbird. Each episode is a unique learning experience between attendees, special guests, and Sendbird experts.

We shared how we combined Flutter and Unity into a single wellbeing app, so If you are interested, give it a look! And if you have any questions about the integration, just let me know, I'd be happy to be of help.
You Are Not Who You Think You Are
More specifically, herd immunity is necessary for people who cannot receive the vaccine to be protected. These types of folks are often the immunocompromised.

Herd immunity kicks in when the proportion of folks with sufficient antibodies is high enough, formally modeled as H >= 1 - 1/R_0, where H is the herd immunity level and R_0 is the average rate of cases caused per each case. R_0 (or more appropriately R_t) is dependent both on the intrinsic attributes of the virus as well as behavior of the organisms the virus infects.

So ensuring a large population with strong, effective prevention is in the national interest, is in the evolutionary interest based on all available science, and is in the interests of vulnerable populations.
If it’s a new vaccine unlike most others, doesn’t that imply that historical information is not as relevant as it would be otherwise?
Rotating crystal fractals in a dielectric field!
My friend works for a major manufacturer who switched a few years ago to a similar setup where desks are all unassigned and workers have a locker.

He travels between offices very often and apparently there are essentially unwritten “assigned” seats, and has had people end up really angry and go off on him for taking their seat unknowingly while traveling to unfamiliar offices.

It really seems like it serves to brew discontent with your people. I can’t imagine the benefits outweigh the downsides, particularly the non-obvious ones like above.

I couldn’t work for such a place. I work best when I nest, surrounded by comfort. Photos of my wife, plushies, etc. The general feeling that I have some control over my life however thin. I have thankfully always had a cube, even if my current cube is relatively tiny.

I think a lot of people who rent office space (especially in expensive cities) would agree with you here.
Pretty sure my great^9 grandmother who never saw her parents again after leaving an impoverished village in Alsace for Louisiana, married some widower she’d never met, died of one of the epidemics that swept through coastal Louisiana on the regular in the 18th century, or her daughter (my great^8 grandmother) who was married a few months later at age 14 to an older man, pumped out at least 7 children, then died of another epidemic at 24 wouldn’t have minded my life of relative wealth, ease and personal freedom (college! Moving abroad but flying home each year! Marrying around 30! Having a kid only after I really, really wanted to! Vaccination against a new epidemic a mere 18 months after it started!)
> The problem with extraordinary claims like this, is that you’re much more likely to be estimating your own productivity incorrectly than you are to be correctly. There’s no doubt that most people would write more LoCs sitting a in quiet room undisturbed, but that’s likely a rather poor metric of your ability to productively provide value to your employer.

It’s not an extraordinarily claim. You are making assumptions you have no insight into.

> In my experience, people who make extraordinary estimates about how much more productive they’d be if left to work on problems alone are much more likely to be similar to that guy rather than the person you’re describing.

This is an extraordinary claim.

You are making the generalization that the large majority of people who have high productivity gains when working in a private office are poor communicators who don’t contribute usefully.

The extraordinary claim is that your experience has given you access to the large number of people, their productivity, and their work habits to understand this phenomenon objectively.

If you are a researcher who has done field work and published papers in this field, please feel free to link to one.

If not, what you are saying seems like bullshit.

That is still a major problem. I helped a guy get fsf gnat running on yocto for his startup, they didn't use Ada in the end though.

For example - re-encoding a movie file. I'm 100% sure it's much faster for me to type "<windows> hand <enter>" to start Handbrake, click open, paste the path to the file to the file dialog, and click convert, than figure out how to use ffmpeg command line.

If youve taken say, trig, but are rusty, dont bog down on trying to relearn upfront. If it comes up when learning something else, then relearn whats necessary. The problem with this is if you're in a scheduled class where you might get behind. The benefit is that when you go on to upper level math, its a necessary skill to relearn some things quickly

Reread it. They're not wishing death on anyone. But the healthcare system is overloaded primarily due to people rejecting the vaccine that the healthcare system has been begging people to get for quite some time.

Your story reminds me of what's happened to Google's voice recognition over the last five years or so. It used to mis-hear words, but now it actively alters grammar and inserts words that sound nothing like what I actually said. Just try getting it to type the word "o'clock".
Advertising exists, and I have no problem talking about that as a whole.

"Paid influencing" is <1% of that near trillion dollar market. The real meat is divided between giants like Google and FB. They own the platforms, dictate terms and cut content makers in on a sliver when and if they choose. That is true for music, porno, instagram garden influencing...

The advertising buyer side has a megacorp presence, but it's mostly a lot of everything and there's not much power concentration. Platforms generally want to own the connections. Advertiser-influencer, artist-listener, youtuber-viewer, etc. Sponsorships and paid placement is a workaround. It's what TV, cinema, games and such got away with for decades. Maybe there are transparency rules or somesuch somewhere... but nowhere does regulation upend the business model or get overly handsy. When it's an instagram people instead disney, open season.

I'm not against regulating advertising. I just think picking on the smallest, ugliest kid and then running off is scapegoating.
Go smoke where you work (assuming non-remote work!), and see if there are ramifications.

I'm not sure what you're reading as dismissive. Perhaps telling someone who hopes for a brutal civil war that they are fetishizing, but that's simply a tongue in cheek response to someone who clearly hasn't considered the outcomes to such events.

Otherwise, my message is consistent. Vaccination is a civic duty and one that is good for society. We need to be vaccinated. If a person wishes to reach out to me, I do not judge them based on differences of opinions.

Minecraft is (used to be?) a badly optimized game, you can hardly take away any conclusion from that.

And the JVM has multiple of the best GCs out of any runtime, with a specific low latency one which promises <1 ms stops, at which point the OS’s scheduler will have more latency. Also, it’s not like JS is not a GCd language..
You missed the word "nice" in the GP's message. Also "(Not technically, but in practice, due to its complexity.)"

No one says it is proprietary technology and yes, it is nominally standardized. It is just so complex that it is impossible to use without heavy tooling support, and this tooling is only really usable in Microsoft's technology.

So it seems that people who use MS ecosystem like SOAP ... while almost everyone else who tried it calls is over-complicated, incomprehensible and "worst dev experience of my whole career"
After reading the book, its pretty clear why most world leaders abandoned the idea of thermonuclear war as anything but a culpable strategy.

Nuclear weapons with a twenty (or more) mile radius of fallout have the immediate ability to bridge the class divide. Whereas traditional munitions disproportionately interact with the poor (soldiers and combatants) a nuclear detonation could thrust an opulent family into fallout bunker squalor in mere minutes, and pin them there for half a decade. the prospect of survival contingent not on your wealth as in a traditional war, but on your interpersonal and improvisational survival skill was certainly looked upon with scorn.
That’s an important distinction though?

No, my sister is an RN at a hospital in Los Angeles and vaccinations are optional for her. She is vaccinated, but if she wasn't, she would have to get a covid test twice a week. A few of her co-workers complained to administration that they don't want to be vaccinated, but now also complain that they now must be poked in the nose semi-weekly.
It will be flying very slow
> As another comment said, if the unvaccinated were willing to stick to their "ideals" and die at home instead of an ICU bed, I would be a lot more amenable to arguments against mandates.

Can you extend this logic to other groups beyond "unvaccinated"? For example, imagine the ICU beds that would be unoccupied if people who smoke tobacco and drink alcohol chose to "die at home". As a society, we know both of these behaviors are detrimental to health, and yet there are people occupying ICU beds because of their decision to use those 2 substances. Slippery slope and whatnot.... health insurance premiums would also be a lot cheaper if my group health insurance plan wasn't subsidizing treatment for all my coworkers with lung cancer, emphysema, and liver failure.
I perused the draft and was surprised by my jaded reaction: Great! More effort put into detailed cybersecurity strategies for the likes of OPM, T-Mobile, and Equifax to ignore.

We have thousands of pages of frameworks and NIST guides and the people in charge, especially in the private sector, are free to neglect or ignore them with impunity because apparently regulators don’t care and the market doesn’t care, so why should they?

It’s like we have these brilliant cryptographers working on technical advancements that I can barely grasp, and the people (management) in charge of putting their work to use can’t be bothered with basic patch management.

The whole landscape of practical cybersecurity feels very hopeless to me.

Ask people who have waited for health care, or had loved ones die due to delayed care.
