> not connected in task tray, but was actually connected.

That has happened to me as well. This was different. The system would go through connect/disconnect cycles and then disable the card etc.

I thought it was a driver issue because every search resulted in people claiming to have solved their problems using older drivers etc, but I had no real luck with that.

The true cause of the problem is still a mystery to me, but pointing the test to my own server gave me control over both ends and has worked fine for weeks now. Yes, it is trivial, but it is a much more preferable outcome than trying to figure out the real problem/solution using search results like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=7260+connection+problems
OpenRA is one of my favourite games right now, I play it with a few of my friends on a regular basis and we have forked it to include the building specific construction from tiberian dawn in command and conquer.
Seems to me this study doesn't warrant a lot of attention. Its basic methodology is flawed, and the author's identify this towards the end. Couple things I noticed:
1) They only look at one company.
2) There is no control group.
3) There is no comparison to companies that were full remote prior.
4) IM is listed as asynchronous communication. In my experience it can be async or sync with my split being ~50% of the time. It is an easy replacement for Phone/Video when only a small amount of back and forth are needed.
5) Microsoft has not just remote employees but also cross collaboration across remote campuses prior to pandemic. This could have also been a good control.

Surprised Nature picked this up with such big holes.
The cost of living stuff is a different issue.

If you’re operating a factory, you want housing, healthcare, etc to be cheap, so that you don’t have to pay your workers as much. If you’re a tiny group of people coming up with new ways to financialize housing, healthcare, etc. you want exactly the opposite.

I think of this division as something like “Industrial” vs “Financial” capital. Part of the reason the old labor movement isn’t relevant any more is that we don’t actually make stuff any more. “Industrial” capital is not at the seat of power any more.

The real problem with today’s unions is that the counterparty has changed. The people who are making houses expensive aren’t at the table negotiating with the unions; they have no employees! Unions are fighting the shrinking ghost of “Industrial” capital.

The reason for this shift is geographic. The stuff that actually gets made is made (under a yoke of hellish cruelty) at the periphery. There, housing is cheap! But the profits flow back here unevenly, to a tiny group of holders. And hence we are dominated by financial capital.

This is also the origin of the red/blue divide, roughly speaking: One is the local “Industrial” concentration and one is global “Financial” concentration. The third bloc, labor, were only really relevant when labor actually had a relationship (with the leverage inherent to that) with the dominant form capital. Now the two groups have predictably been crushed: the local concentration of capital and the union. They’re both sitting at the wrong table.

> The system is not simply based on notoriety, as some kind of aggregate of follower count or likes, which would be sane and fair step in the right direction. But rather on a case by case basis, where according to the article "whitelist status was granted with little record of who had granted it and why, according to the 2019 audit.".

This was my takeaway as well. I 100% agree rules cannot be applied evenly across every user. A person sharing posts with their 300 "friends" and someone blasting messages at their millions of "followers" are frankly engaging in completely different experiences. The regular person might expect none of their comments to ever get reported and any report could be cause for something actually bad. A popular politician on the other hand might see every single thing they post reported a ton every single time.

And rather than applying rules based on say the reach (which Facebook knows) or any other metric, it seems that they just chucked people into the special people list and that's that. The article stated there are millions on that list. A catch all for all the people who are having the greatest impact seemingly. The fact that the list had considerations for potential blowback to FB is even worse. I get that in percentage terms of 2.8 billion users a multimillion person list is in outlier territory by most measures, but that group is also wildly influential and thus shouldn't be in the "too weird" category.

I'm not even opposed to a general whitelist, some people (like a President of the US) truly are gonna be really weird to apply any broader ruleset to. But a free for all and catch all bucket for anyone of "notoriety" is really bad. It should be a very special remedy that is not done lightly. The article made it seem like the policy for this particular remedy was non-existent.

Part of me thinks the solution is just to cap it. If the central conceit is "connecting people" then no person realistically knows more than say 10,000 people and shouldn't need the microphone scaled to global proportions. That'd never happen, but it seems like a root answer.
Okay, so you're being obtuse. Got it.

Have you tried playing this out to the end? You're hung up on words like "require" that I, some random dude on the interweb used, rather than actually realizing the intent or spirit of the comment. You think any company receiving negative press is going to just allow that to continue without addressing the concerns somehow? An activist investor/shareholder doesn't just stop with press briefings. If they still feel agrieved, they can attempt to manipulate the board by having their own member installed. From there, they can direct if the CEO even gets to keep their job. As a board member, they have a lot more power.

I feel like you're limiting your imagination on how much power stockholders can have. Some companies are probably a little more resielient against this type of "attack", but rich people play all sorts of games because they feel slighted or bored. Watch the TV show "Billions" if you want some fun fictional aspects, but these stories are not made in a vacuum.

Thanks for the valuable insights!

I am German and thus have very different experiences. AFAIK home schooling in Germany is still illegal (as in "not being enrolled in a school at all") because it is (edit: in the opinion of the German state, not necessarily mine) basically essential to a child's development to be part of a social classroom experience.

Seeing how (a vast majority of) schools are also free and ~good, my very clichéd understanding is that the only parents that want to home school their children are those with extreme religious or political opinions they want to foist upon them.
hm you're right, I may have found a bad source.
He called out specific things and had a tweet which was pretty vague about some bad behavior. If you want to focus on that and imply it's childish you are the one distracting from discussing more important issues. That's probably why takes like that get downvoted.

From the comments Steve has made it sounds like Amazon effectively has control of Rust not only because of their large involvement but also because a strange set of governing circumstances. I guess I can see how if he led with that it might be clearer why all the concern, guess he didn't want to spell it out so directly and point fingers.
AoE2 also uses this term extensively especially within the context of ranger infantry. A clump of forty arbs will chew through the armor of even intended counters (like knights).

One of the more interesting applications of this term I've seen is in TW WH2 (Total War: Warhammer 2) where a faction like Vampire Counts gets a lot of utility out of death-balling even trash tier units like skeleton warriors - so that opponent infantry and cavalry gets mired in the mass of unit collisions to make it easier to get a clean spell targeting off. I think the term is pretty well established at this point as evidenced by the derivative usages that are now popping up.
Depending on which jurisdiction you live in, there can be a significant difference in terms of paperwork.

Also, if you think that the student might transition back from homeschool to public school, the school will want to do some kind of evaluation to determine what class the student belongs in. If the student had been remote learning via the public school all along, this never comes up.

We have used AWS since long before Amazon was a supporter of Rust, and then they started supporting us, and I am grateful to it. Paying for Rust's infrastructure, as far as I know, is not cheap.

I am not a member of the foundation and so can't really speak to what is being spent currently. As far as I know a public budget has not been posted.

The risk is that they can set the direction to anything. They might be amazing stewards, they might spend it all on useless things. We don't yet know. I do know that many of the folks in the foundation have their hearts in the right place.

Again, the theme isn't about specific actions, it is about consolidation of control.
I think "very inconvenient" is stretching it. The pessimal case is that you are 100% reliant on fast charging and have to spend 20 minutes once a week at your local shopping mall or wherever your convenient fast charger is. That may not correlate well with the shopping you want to do, but it's hardly a disaster. In practice it's only a little worse than gassing up, and it smells better.
I can't get the whole paper, but your first link seems to be saying that we've put all our eggs into one basket and we are ignoring too many other theories. It doesn't go so far as to say the amyloid angle is bunk, does it?

Your second link says this:

> researchers have said experimental treatments targeting the beta amyloid protein might not have worked in the past because the doses were too low or the patient populations used for the trials should have been younger

Again, that doesn't seem to be concluding the amyloid & tau street is a dead end.

The Alzheimer's Association site (alz.org) agrees:

> Alzheimer's has no cure, but one treatment — aducanumab (Aduhelm™) — is the first therapy to demonstrate that removing amyloid, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease, from the brain is reasonably likely to reduce cognitive and functional decline in people living with early Alzheimer’s.
The politics is just the latest example of the fact that teachers have a massive conflict of interest when it comes to educating kids. Parents want to maximize the success of their individual kid. Teachers want to advance the various goals of the school system at large. Even though I believe they’re mostly well intentioned, that can take the form of ignoring most kids to try and do damage control for the most troubled students, or sacrificing individual kids at the alter of some larger social ideology.

1) Startup time: reflection can take a ton of time to run. It only needs to happen once, but especially as more and more web servers move to idle models where cold startup time matter rather than just holding on to a warm service, it's not always as amortized as before.

2) AOT compilation support/size: relying on Reflection APIs means that much more metadata/symbol data has to be preserved during an AOT compilation. This impacts metadata that needs to be passed to the AOT pass and final build size from the AOT. Some web applications are interested in delivering full, streamlined AOT builds rather than typical .NET CLR applications (and JIT compilation).
GCC can use whole program optimization to replace virtual dispatch with a series of if statements. There are plenty of situations where it's faster to test for a handful of types and then inline the body than it is to perform two indirections.
Confluence is documentation theater. For most Confluence usage I've ever seen, the author's real purpose is mostly to signal that documentation has been written, and the experience of whoever might be using it later is a distant second.

Confluence docs tend to be written as the result of timed events, for each project or sprint or meeting or whatever, rather than organized by topic. And most are write-only and never looked at again.

What a Confluence (or any documentation) repository really needs is continuous refactoring, to be organized by functionality rather than time implemented. Just like code, if you never do that, what you get is documentation debt and a big ball of documud.
DOSbox is great for games, and other Non real-time uses. I'm not sure that you get the same timing precision and variance in DOSBox as you do with DOS on hardware. I'd be curious if older CNC machines have had luck replacing their aging hardware with newer machines running DOSbox.

As to solving old hardware in software, I'm starting to see HDL as a solution to dealing with this. I've been watching the MiSTer project for a while now as a way to capture old hardware on a fairly large FPGA.
> Is the implication that Amazon has co-opted the Rust foundation?

Bingo.
Totally this. For those who feel hospitals shouldn't be making some moral judgement on who should or shouldn't get treated, they already are. They are allowing unvaccinated COVID patients to take the space of beds they know will be needed by someone else, and they know these beds will be needed by someone else with damn near 100% certainty due to having the stats on how many people they treat in a given month.
Absolutely. I started using Zola after writing my own solution, Zola seemed like the next best step up. It has a lot of good, but it also requires a lot of setup to get going. If you don't care about making your own theme, it's easy to get going and start up a new site, but past that, it's very fast to compile files and comes with image transforms for additional resizing needs.

>Groups of 20 families hiring an instructor

i.e. "ye olde one room schoolhouse"

The online resources just mean that a single instructor is more efficient/effective by leveraging the work of external specialists and can carry students into depths of subjects that were not attainable at that scale a century ago. Your great grandfather may have had to go to college to learn science and math beyond the basic stuff. Today a generalist teacher can leverage everything from a lesson plan to a virtual lecture prepared by teachers who specialize in teaching those subjects.
Regardless of the intentions behind this, this is very, very illegal(if you are in the US) and could open the company up to some serious liability down the line.
Personally I don't find static site generators worth the effort to learn or keep up-to-date as versions inevitably come. I end up just writing my own for each site in 1-200 lines of Python. It's normally just a markdown library and a template engine wrapped with a file system walker.

Here's an example: https://github.com/eatonphil/notes.eatonphil.com/blob/master.... It's longer than usual since it embeds parts of the home page html inside it.

These scripts last for years and only change slightly over time. Very low maintenance.
> He asked JJ to make changes to TFA to set up his vision for TLJ.

Do you have articles about that? I hadn't heard about it. It's also surprising considering that JJ didn't do the same back to him, especially with the whole "no, her lineage IS special" thing. Weird power dynamics.

> How can you not blame the man with the smoking gun?

Because it was all garbage? Honestly, if they'd continued on TLJ's path, I think it would have been a better ending than what actually happened. Maybe they would have changed Star Wars instead of just rehashing the exact same thing again.
my very clichéd understanding is that the only parents that want to home school their children are those with extreme religious or political opinions they want to foist upon them.

Anecdotally, this is incorrect. Source: we have homeschooled our child in the past (though we are not right now), and we do not have extreme opinions that we want to foist upon them.

Boards Have to Pay Attention
What exactly is the benefit to importing personnel who will work for lower wages and draining talent from other nations when we have 300MM+ local people from which we could train medical workers?

I fundamentally don't understand why people feel that they are entitled to a job in the US, that we somehow owe people from other nations a chance to immigrate, when we have entire swaths here in the country that have been effectively left behind by the economy (inner cities and rural america, especially Appalachia). Maybe we should focus more on training our existing citizens out of poverty and into skilled labor, rather than brain-draining the rest of the world.
I've been using Hugo as well. I used Pelican (Python port of Jekyll) for a long time, but Hugo is so much more performant and has a larger ecosystem at this point.

The main downside is that the Hugo documentation is sometimes terse and snarky.

TL;DR - Two sets of eyes is better than one.

One of the most important aspects of code review culture isn't really mentioned in the post: requiring at least one additional approval on a PR ensures that at least 2 people are familiar with a piece of code. This helps increase the bus factor on the project and ensures that knowledge transfer and developer velocity can be maintained.

Additionally, the dialogue that occurs during code review can serve as additional documentation into why certain choices were made. I use the blame layer all of the time to try to better understand the context of a particular piece of code. Being able to read through the review for the PR that contained a line of code is often incredibly useful for being able to gain context.
I actually wrote a small program for batch scaling images using pixie a couple weeks ago and it was a bit faster than ImageMagick, and the results looked the same. The scaling in pixie is a little less flexible though.

I haven't really compared any other features though. Scaling images does appear to be quicker though (when compiled with -d:release -d:danger --opt:speed)
With TCP I agree. On DNS I wish we actually used classes so we could have multiple separate hierarchies, ofc URL design might be needed to be changed slightly.

That’s because they don’t have to pay for externalities. If Facebook was to be held liable, criminally or financially, for the negative impacts of their service, they wouldn’t be viable as a business (and nor would anything else trying to operate at that scale). It’s only because they can dump the waste products of their enterprise into our collective psychological water supply without consequence that it appears like a profitable business.
I don't participate in any mailing lists since at least 2008 and I'm pretty sophisticated. What constitutes "works" is that they (Linux Kernel working group) have a very primitive forum (mailing list) wherein there is no recognized pressure to change. People still use HAM radio because they "work" but that's not the optimal way to collaborate.

Give it a few more decades.

Nationalization is expensive and inefficient though.

With nationalization, PayPal won't even be created in the first place. Because why? The purpose of nationalized institutions is not chasing profits, and let me tell you, they hate changes unless they absolutely have to.

So for Alipay, even China is not going to nationalize it to the point that it becomes a state apparatus, the Chinese government would like to enforce control when they want to, and makes it obvious to Ant's factual owners.
It is illegal. Do you not know how to Google it?

Element did coordinate with the F-Droid packagers on behalf of both Element Android and SchildiChat.

Because F-Droid runs their own builds and requires published source code, there is no mechanism for pre-building and staging security releases for issues which are not yet publicly disclosed.

That said, the packager was extremely helpful and prepared the metadata updates in advance to ensure that both applications could enter the build queue as quickly as possible upon release:

- Element 1.2.2: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/commit/76c8f5b87aa8df...
