It indicates an abundance of applications for sure. That doesn’t indicate an oversupply of applicants nor of qualified applicants. How many times have we read the advice to apply for hundreds of jobs and only apply to those that take little effort? I think there’s a lot of people out there applying to every long-shot job because the prize is large enough.

> Email at our university is a centralized service. The university’s computing center provides email accounts for all administrative staff members, for all students as well as faculties, departments, and research groups.

This is what I imagined, and I don't think my presumption was materially incorrect. The researchers looked at the email habits of accounts on a specific centralized service at a university. While that might provide some useful data on how easy it is for users to layer E2E encryption on top of such a service, it doesn't say anything at all about whether someone who wants to use an encrypted email service can or can't do so, since such a person is unlikely to choose their university- or work-issued email account to do so.

It's also a pity that the last full year of email data they have, 2020, was the year that Thunderbird 78 was released, with built in support for OpenPGP. Similarly it was in July of this year that K-9 Mail received an update after a 3 year hiatus, which greatly improved its support for OpenPGP and Autocrypt. Perhaps other researchers could try repeating this study next year, to see if adoption of those new versions has an effect.

For specifying references in a machine-friendly way, I reckon OSIS’s references are probably the best idea, minus the ability to refer to portions smaller than a verse (which is two features: sub-identifiers and fine-grained references). See osisRef in <https://ebible.org/osis/OSIS2_1UserManual_06March2006_-_with...>. My main complaint about osisRef is that it only allows contiguous ranges. Anyway, OSIS references will yield results like Rev.13.18, Exod.20.3-Exod.20.17, Gen.6.9-Gen.9.17.

Rigid formats are so much easier to work with. Once you’re allowing any flexibility, you get into all kinds of hot water of disappointed expectations. Will you support “2K”, “2 Ki”, “IIKgs”, “II Kng”, “2 Kings”, &c. as all referring to what OSIS calls 2Kgs? Support at least “:”, “.”, “v”, “vv” as a chapter/verse divider? If I ask you for “2 Mose 3:4”, will you resolve that to Exod.3.4? (German has 1–5 Mose instead of Genesis–Deuteronomy.) It’s all kinds of fun; most tooling does a fairly poor job of it in my experience. libsword, by far the most popular foundation for open-source Bible software, does quite poorly in certain cases that keep on annoying me. (Perhaps I should submit patches like adding 1K and 2K as abbreviations and tweaking its reference parser which is a bit of a monstrosity, but I’m just choosing to start from scratch for my own software focused on Bible reading which I’m working on, a domain that no one has made any serious attempt on, as I judge it.)
Could it be this one?

Maybe this OnGuard thing is being foolish

Maybe, but if corporate policy requires all storage to be encrypted and the tool to enforce that policy can't verify that whatever Google's software is doing is compliant, maybe not.

Different policies might be appropriate for software that is used by non-experts in a personal capacity and software that is part of professionally managed IT systems used for business purposes with regulatory compliance obligations. A lot of the modern trends from the likes of Google, Apple and Microsoft might make sense for the former group but they are a significant concern for the latter and for prosumer or small business users who might want to operate more like the latter but are stuck with software aimed at the former.
The first part of what you say is similar to what's happening with some parts of Mastodon. There are many, many small instances that are (apparently) starting to develop their own cultures, but you can still see what other people are saying because of federation.

The ideas of requiring engagement, and mixing the groups, are interesting, but I'm not sure how they'd work. I've seen the "You must engage" idea applied elsewhere without success, so it needs a little more work.

Even so, I think your ideas have promise.

Fonts look much better on 4k screens with 2x scaling than on 1440p: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/

If you stare at text all day, 4k is pretty nice. The difference between 4k and 1440p is easily noticeable to me even on very small displays, like 15" laptops. I have a 1440p gaming laptop, and the less-sharp text is slightly annoying; I otherwise love it as a laptop, though, so I live with 1440p since it's a fairly small screen anyway. On larger displays like an external monitor I definitely wouldn't use 1440p.

Does everyone have to be social via social networks nowadays in order to be considered “social”?

Can’t we just be social, you know, face to face? And then just leave online media to news/facts?

Of course you can. You just can't claim to have "a good social media experience" if that's what you're doing (as rg111 did). If you're removing all the social parts from social media then you're not have a "social media experience" at all. You're doing something else. That might be good, and you might enjoy it and find it useful, but it's not sociable if all you're doing is consuming filtered content about a topic you're interested in.

Rejecting the social aspects of social media is, by definition, antisocial. That doesn't reflect on how sociable you are in other contexts though.

> A secure, optimized Linux VM that runs Linux tools and containers

Nothing new under the sun, this was already possible with docker-toolbox.

> Seamless plumbing into the host OS giving containers access to the filesystem and networking

Lol. The native filesystem mounts are like 10x slower than on Linux, making them useless. FUSE helps somewhat but causes other issues, especially when mounting lots of files that change often.

> Bundled container tools including Kubernetes, Docker Compose, buildkit, scanning

Thanks a lot, previously I had the choice of installing these myself as needed instead of having them all, always, at the newest versions.

> Docker Dashboard for visually managing all your container content

I never use it for anything since all my environments are managed by scripted docker-compose.

> A simple one click installer for Mac and Windows

Who is it for, exactly? Developers can handle installing things.

> Preconfigured sane and secure defaults

Lol, no. The ”sane defaults” always lead to containers getting killed by OOM. Security is also dubious, since the default network is shared between all containers. Also have you ever tried setting up to route all traffic through a VPN because that is nigh impossible.

> Automatic incremental updates to keep your system running securely

> I'd thought you were referring to after you've installed a plugin (or it got installed for you) and you wanted to know which plugin was doing a particular task.
>
> This is actually a problem in vim and emacs, but to my knowledge it's exactly the same problem in VSCode.

No, it's not the same, because in VSCode you have ways to discover plugins and their purpose with basic knowledge. Just go through the list and read their description and find the one that matches the effect you search. They are even so well documented that they list the shortcuts, commands and settings they use automatically. And other parts of the app are evenly open and supportive. And if you not found it at the plugins, just open the settings and use the search. It's very easy to come very far out of the box with VS Code.

On vim and emacs on the other side you have simply no way at all to figure something out from the baseline. Until you learn to master them well enough to use their ways of doing things, you are just lost and abandon and can only hope to find some solution by googling for it and test things till it somehow works.

VS Code is a GUI, and even a very well-made one, and as such it's very open and self-descriptive. While vim and emacs are mostly non-descriptive at all and very cryptic until you dived deep enough to learn your ways. Both have their advantages in their own, but for this specific case, the cryptic completely loses.

> Spacemacs solves that for emacs by creating "layer"s which essentially bundle a bunch of emacs packages together

VS Code has bundles too. But it seems they are not that popular because in the end they are often too opinionated.
> All the while I can drive 15 min and find thousands of obviously mentally ill people in need of involuntary mental health treatment. because their only avenue for detaining them is to wait until they catch them committing a crime.

Let's say you were wandering the streets of a major city, looking very odd to everyone else and muttering to yourself (likely someone you'd see on a drive who is "obviously mentally ill"), but otherwise very happy and not breaking any laws, would you want the police to be able to snatch you off the street and involuntarily lock you away?

Likely not, and this is why the laws in some countries like the US are the way they are.
> If you need to change something in the UI layer, it will likely ripple down through business logic layer into the storage layer. If you make a change in the storage layer, you could inadvertently end up changing your user-facing API and breaking something for them.

This sort of "rippling" should normally result from poorly thought out and excessively casual changes layered over previous bad design.

Changes coming from the UI layer should normally be new and altered ways to search and modify the same entities, with no changes to the core model and its storage.

Changes from the storage layer are unlikely (e.g. new indices or adjusted datatypes in a database) and should be handled by some persistence abstraction, with a very limited impact in the business logic and completely invisible and irrelevant for the UI layer.
> It would be much less painful to just have users get used to the new behavior than to support a setting for forever.

Mars rocks collected by Perseverance boost case for ancient life
Thanks for such a thoughtful response.
I think that depends on the mission.

1) China doesn't need to destroy US ships; it merely needs to keep them distracted long enough to take control of Taiwan. If China moves quickly, the Taiwanese leadership are deported to Beijing, and there are boots on the ground, it's a done deal. Once that's done, it will be like Crimea. There's no way the US is getting drawn into a land war in Asia.

2) Ten minutes, at a dozen shots a minute, means a gun firing at 10 RPS can take out 6,000 drones. That's 0.6% of a flock.

3) You can't run circles around a flock of millions of drones, no matter how fast you go. A flock can cover a lot of space. The best you can do is run away, which would take US forces out-of-commission.

4) The Taiwan Straight is simply not that large. It's not hard for China to be aware of everything that happens there, even with a fleet of small, cheap AUVs. Heck, they could drop a few hundred thousand of these as well, if they wanted to.

5) It's equally not hard for China to communicate with a flock of drones. A directional spread spectrum link isn't easy to jam. At that range, even an optical link is practical, and not something where we have countermeasures.

6) A million drones can effectively blanket the whole Taiwan straight.

7) In terms of stealth, I'm not sure how technology will progress, but I'm pretty sure that building drones indistinguishable from birds on radar just wouldn't be that hard. I'm also pretty sure a flock of drones could be made to emulate other forms of craft, on radar.

8) I'm also pretty sure China wouldn't telegraph what they're doing. It's not like we can prepare countermeasures. I gave one example of a disruptive technology; there are dozens of others. To be honest, I have no idea how AEGIS would deal with a million targets, nor what having that many targets would do to its ability to track things like Chinese landing craft, unless the US were explicitly prepared for this particular threat.

Also, the C-RAM price-per-round is about $30. With a $1000 drone, things are cost-neutral if about 3% of rounds hit. At 10 kilometers, it would take rounds a little under 10 seconds to arrive. Even modestly chaotic trajectories would dodge most rounds.

The things that you list as shortcuts aren't actually shortcuts, but the best tools for their respective jobs.

To put it differently: this is what renderers were aspiring to from the start, but couldn't quite reach initially in real world applications because if a severe lack of computing power. So, for the better part of three decades, computer graphics relied on ugly shortcuts that required laborious workarounds from skilled artists. With the right tools you just don't need a lot of them anymore.
That seems plausible to me! I know at Dropbox we always spent a lot of time “playing nice” with the operating system while still providing a very deep and seamless integration. So much complexity and working with gnarly and changing APIs.

> “People don’t just wake up with schizophrenia when they are elderly,” said Dr. Michael Wasserman, a geriatrician and former nursing home executive who has become a critic of the industry. “It’s used to skirt the rules.”

What will likely happen is that they will simply approve Haldol for additional uses, such as the cases where elderly are hallucinating and highly agitated due to the effects of Alzheimers. Then doctors won't be use the schizophrenia diagnosis, they will diagnose "Alzheimers-induced psychosis" instead.

The effects can be remarkably similar, which is one reason this may be occurring and not just staff shortages or cost cutting.

I am not taking sides on this, but there would be no uproar if Haldol was on-label for late-stage symptoms of Alzheimers. It would just be another medication used to help ease symptoms. I'd be curious if manufacturers are trying this route.

If I was in this terrible situation I'd probably want the Haldol but that's just me.

I just have DMs on Telegram/Signal with people I like to be close with.

For 3-4 people of my parents' generation, I just call them up once in a while.

Actually, there isn't a lot of an overlap of interests with those of the people I grew up around. I have no interests on sports, celeb culture, etc. And politically, I conform to neither side (although I am not a centrist).

People have said things behind my back and in one particular instance, I have been verbally harassed for not liking the things most people like.

So, I don't bother being "social". I do community service, donate time and money to charities, attend marriages and funerals and such and nod and smile for 1-2 hours. I also mentor 2-3 kids. One is a neighbor, one lives on a different country.

I don't see the point of a "social" media. I just want to be away from most people I know in real life.

I find better solace on anonymous sites like Reddit, HN, or new like-minded people I get to know through interest-based forums.

I do send people pictures of stuff I cook, glasses I buy, etc. tgrough DM.

I also have a private Instagram where I allow about 30 people to follow me.

I would never even think about social media like most people use it.
When I saw the link title on HN I immediately thought of the idea of implementing Conway's game of life using a grid of checkboxes. It is actually there. Neat!
GPT-3 is a fun toy for creating entertaining interactive fiction, and so only as “dangerous” as our imaginations’ abilities to distinguish fact from fiction - as with any written works. I think a lot of the current AI panic is because those companies pushing the technologies are exploiting public and media ignorance of what they actually are. Essentially disguising their own facts with their own fictions, which if there is any danger in all of this, is the only one.
Scientists – Instant and Free Data Pipeline
We were recently asked by a company that develops molecular models to help build an automation pipeline for testing an algorithm on data. This is a common use case, and the steps of the pipelines are detailed below. This pipeline can be useful for many companies that need to run algorithms on data. It is now configured to run on Oracle Cloud but can easily be changed to any other cloud. Notification is configured for Microsoft Teams but can also point to Slack, email, PagerDuty or other platforms.
This pipeline can be set up in 10-15 minutes with our free plan. I’m happy to assist in creating an environment with this pipeline for interested parties. Please send a private message.

Pipeline steps:
1. Create an instance using a predefined image. The placement and type of instance will be defined in advance.

2. In case the requested placement/type of instance are not available, try the next option according to a predefined list.

3. Run a pre-written script on the instance.

4. Check when the job is completed (by checking the presence of a file or keyword in a log file).

5. Check if the job was properly completed. If not, send an error message to the user (Email/Teams).

6. In case the job did not run, try to rerun it according to a predefined number of attempts.

7. In case the quota of instances has been reached, let the job wait and re-run when availability returns.

8. Upon completion, save a zipped directory with all results into a bucket. The directory should have an easy-to-identify name (user/date etc.).

9. Make sure that data was transferred properly (Comparing the initial and copied size of the data).

10. Close the instance.

11. Notify the user (Email/Teams), providing all the identifications of the completed job.
Yeah, for people who can’t be bothered to read TFA, the list is
