In the UK we quarantined all people coming in from Wuhan, while flights from Chinese cities outside of Wuhan continued to run without restriction, even though it was known that the virus was there too.

There was a lot of wishful thinking and denialism back in January/February 2020.

The only country that got the initial response right was North Korea, they shut all their borders, and were mocked for it too.

> OS map styling is beautiful, but folding maps is the work of devils.

I don’t miss folding paper maps but my comment was about the mapping data not the physical medium. Thankfully you can now have OS maps electronically. Best of both worlds.

Though at least paper maps have their unique quality that they still retain their data even after your batteries go flat ;) I joke but actually that can be be invaluable if you’re camping and hiking over multi-days. Also useful if you end up anywhere with low mobile phone coverage.

> More seriously though, do they no longer teach at least basic navigation skills in school? It still feels, to me, like it is an essential life skill. If only for being able to assess the validity of your phone's answers in the most general case.

Good question. I assumed they wouldn’t because the curriculum is pretty jam packed. But after after asking your question to teacher friend, it seems they still do teach map reading.
Sharri Markson's book on corona is released tomorrow.

She's been the leading journalist since early 2020 on corona.

NTD Media also ignored the global embargo coordinated by the CCP/Peter Daszak/Fauci.
Protection from severe disease is still strong.

Probably the worst part about Covid-19 is that Sars-CoV-2 was a totally new Virus with a high attack rate, on top of the danger to the individual patient. If most of the population has seen "something like" it, even very distant variants will not be as bad.

I quite like the StreetComplete Android app:

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplet...

It sees where you are, finds incomplete items on OSM and asks you if you know things about them. Very handy to use as you're walking around, and a very easy way to submit data to OSM.
Iran's involvement in the Syrian civil war probably cost hundred of thousands of innocent deaths, what is this bullshit like Iran is a peace seeking entity? And yes it's not just Iran but the Russians as well but Iran played a major part.

The biggest reason for Bill Gates conspiracy theories is event 201: https://centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/
Bill Gates's foundation initiated that. It's a pandemic wargame which happened suspiciously close to the actual pandemic, and it's also the only pandemic wargame they ever did.
For instance, the kill ring allows you to easily move around two words in different parts of a long command.

- Move cursor to the first word, kill it with Alt+D (aka M-D).
- Fearlessly move the cursor to another word, kill it, too.
- Now move where you want to put the first word back, because it's nearby. Press Ctrl+Y, oops, it shows the second word. Never mind, press Alt+Y, and it pastes the first word on its place.
- Now move elsewhere where the second word belongs. Ctrl+Y pastes (yanks) the first word again, the most recently used. Alt+Y changes it to the second word, the second most recently used.

This way you may have quite a few fragments in the ring and juggle them, repeat them, several different fragments, without the need to copy again and again.

Really making the world a better place. How hard would it be to have employees from outside the country make the app review, and shield local employees from this? These companies do what they want to do, and they didn't think this was a hill worth fighting for, which is sad.

What makes you believe that is in any way prevalant? Maybe I'm an optimist, but it seems hard to believe that throwing babies into fires is considered okay, even at the highest social echelons.

> An intentional lab leak makes no sense to me at all.

Very few people are arguing that it was intentional. I agree that an intentional lab leak is highly, highly unlikely, but I think an accidental lab leak is at least just as likely as the wet market hypothesis and CCP certainly acted extremely suspicious.
The issue is that actually the prices are transparent and fair - at least I know and understand why I don't get an apartment that I can afford. The issue with government imposed rent control/caps is, that now instead of 50 applicants for an apartment which is priced at market rate, there will be 250 applicants to an appartment with capped rent - and there is no way for me to understand why I didn't get it. Do I need to be in the right party as the owner? Do I have the wrong skin color, gender, religion, country of birth to please the landlord?

High prices are only unfair at first look, but actually allocating scarce resources through market prices is a very fair and transparent mechanism.
... I don't know how to ask this nicely, but: is the missing ingredient really a better system for publishing code reviews?

Via the installation instructions, I can find https://github.com/dpc/crev-proofs/tree/master/FYlr8YoYGVvDw... - which is a list of some 20 reviews, most of a single version of a single crate. I followed three of the trust relationships, and found a handful of other reviews each.

Maybe I missed a community of people putting in the review work?..
Dare Devil, especially Season 3 was just the best TV I seen in ages. Very good.
They take the pain out of returns though.
You can use pure ethanol, which is easy enough to distill from wine or other rotten fruit, though this is prohibited in some backwards countries for superstitious reasons. Some people prefer isopropanol, but they say you have to be sure it's not adulterated with water. You can salt water out of isopropanol, but I don't know if the resulting salt contamination is harmful to your wood finish. Other people report success with methanol, but I wouldn't want to get it on me.
Even if you only order from Amazon, your experience also depends a lot on how Amazon have handled returns. I’ve had Amazon ship out returns they’ve processed where the item was supposed to weigh about 10kg, because it was a pack of 60, but weighed little more than the box because somebody kept 59 and returned just one. If they’d done a simple weight check on shipping then the whole thing could have been prevented.

This is a problem that bricks and mortar stores are also faced with – especially when the box has been resealed in a way that makes it look like it was never opened.

I can see why that might seem suspicious, but isn't it equally likely it was a sincere effort to prepare the world for a somewhat periodic event? Especially given previous disease prevention efforts by Gates.
Do the benefits actually change though? Or does the country now have established industries and companies with the power to influence the political process in order to cement their position against new entrants via IP laws?

As you said nobody knows. When Iran has a working nuke it's arguable too late. Then we should all hope there will be mutually assured destruction that will lessen the probability of war.
Also - there will probably be countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt who will try to acquire nukes if Iran gets them. So I understand the thought this only touches Jews or half Jews but it really is a global problem.
> We just keep ratcheting up minimum wages

On the contrary. In real terms, the minimum wage has been declining for a long while (at the federal level). If you mean the median wage, I believe that's been declining over time as well in real terms. Not sure about, say, the low 10% order statistic of wages.

> and ratcheting down the work week.

I don't recall the work week having been officially reduced in the US in the recent past. In fact, not for many decades.

If anything, work hours extend unofficially. Nabisco workers are now striking over workweeks extending into 6 and 7 days workdays with 12-hour or longer shifts and such. And there's the wide-spread phenomenon of having to take on a second part-time job to make ends meet.

Here we come back to another good ingredient of the MCU and thats the casting. RDJ kicked things into gear, where previous movies failed.
GC is such a second rate product anyway. Lack of / inconsistent rich text support, weird single-to-multiple newline bugs in the comments UI. Crappily inconsistent behaviour for attaching docs / linking to docs in student work. No categorisation for “classes” eg clubs / academic classes / one offs for online exams. Email notifications instead of an intelligent notification centre UI on the site.

It’s the rock bottom level of features they could get away with and it really disappoints me. The intern that wrote it should feel proud. The multi billion $$ corporation that maintains it, should not.

At this point there are already hundreds of readline alternatives across various different languages as it’s actually surprisingly easy to write a readline library.

Given the capabilities of computers these days, I think if one is stuck choosing which library to use, I’d suggest get the one that’s most complete rather than most compact. I guarantee you that there will be one of your users who’ll use an Emacs or Vi shortcut and find the lack of support really prohibiting.

I remember my only interaction with someone in 2015 where they said "use moment" for something really trivial, it was a friend of a friend and he was a snarky arrogant snob. I don't remember exactly what I said other than being super passionate against it because it just complexified simple solutions because people weren't willing to read the documentation on how to use the builtins.

I even wrote the solution on a scrap of paper I had in about 20 seconds.

It was everything I hated about the dev community; some insistence on using hip and popular stuff that's poorly suited to a problem and being snarky and elitest snobs whenever anyone claims they are being trend following fashionistas and not doing any actual engineering. Same thing is going to happen to reactjs unless it pivots hard to being something dramatically different (which it keeps doing).

And let's not forget the obligatory scenes where you have the protagonist(s) beating up and killing hundreds of generic robot/alien/monster goons. Because you can't have graphic mass murder in a PG13 movie.

Hell, the Putty Patrollers had more character than these guys.

On a similar note, I recently decided to watch the Hobbit trilogy after rewatching LOTR for the 20th anniversary. Whereas everything had weight and tension in the original (up to a point), in the Hobbit everything is cranked up to 11 and it suffers from the exact same thing.

Every scene becomes a zergling rush vs 5 units with cheat mode turn on. There's an actual line in the last movie along the lines of "You go, there's only a 100 goblins, we can easily take them."
If I could I would instantly replace every L2L IPsec tunnel configured everywhere I have access, but unfortunately until Cisco, Juniper, Fortigate etc. implement Wireguard, IPsec remains the only option.

I am already using it for production purposes where both endpoints are Linux, though.
If we're talking anecdata, my original Samsung Galaxy Note (I think the first dual-core smartphone?) still does fine, whereas my iPhones from that period (4, 4S, 5) are all unusable now, in spite of replacing batteries in them (sometimes - several times). The most annoying was the failure of the Home button and, in the 5, the lightning socket.

But all this does not matter much. What's important for me is that if I wanted, I could still develop apps for the Galaxy Note, whereas it's practically impossible to develop apps for discontinued iPhones, even if they continue to work perfectly fine.
Mapy.cz is a great product and I would say "underrated". They feel so much more natural than Google Maps to me.

But that might be cultural (de)formation of a previously young person who used to hike with paper maps of similar style.
Interface design has a utilitarian purpose, it's not "art", it's like a hammer, a handy tool to complete a task.
However, some designers think they are "artists" and they need to "stand out" from the crowd and get some "design" award. Making good tools that help people with their life is a fulfilling pursuit in itself. Don't torment your users with "great design".

It's really unlikely a nuke on TLV will be reciprocated with one nuke of the same exact magnitute on Iran; it's more likely Israel will use everything it has to destroy Iran.
Tehran's larger metro area is 15 million people with most of the economy and jobs there. What do you think a few hydrogen bombs (which Israel is known to have) will do to Iran's economy or regime survival?
It's mutually assured destruction, period. No side is gonna win a nuclear war.
IN Memoriam....
Executions of helpless people 'just because I can' are a direct attack to democracy and aim to replace the justice system based in international laws by a bunch of serial killers. This is unacceptable and no excuses would fix it.

THIS is the real danger that we all face: justice is being replaced by serial killers and people is slowly but relentlessly being brainwashed to accept this as the new abnormal.

And then, here comes the harvest. We have exactly the same people, trained to kill without a glimpse by money, returning home and being videotaped coordinating an assault to kill your own politicians at the capitol for money because "justice is not working anymore so, zombie time". You reap what you sow. Yep, Genius move.

Israel should be ashamed of this measures that make them look as totally desperate and weak actors that are losing the battle to the point of 'win' a discussion by means of killing the other voices.

The only results that the terrorists bring to the table are reinforcing the will of Iran to have nuclear weapons even faster and probably destroying the life of a wife and some children, so is detrimental to its own interests also.

> I haven't seen an FLTK app in years.

FLTK still widely used in various scientific apps.

> Does FLTK still look like it came from the 1990's/early 2000's, or did they upgrade the widgets to make them look more modern?

Probably the same. For example, here is screenshot[0] of the OpenVSP[1] - an actively maintained parametric 3D CAD app by NASA.[2]

But also there is `fl_imgtk` — a small library for FLTK image toolkit, designed to use some useful effects in FLTK GUI (better image, better speed, better quality).[3]

Yet another thing is `fltk-rs`[4] - Rust binding to FLTK, with custom theming module.[5]

There are different levels of “thinking about memory”. The distinction between low and high level languages is not arbitrary. In a CRUD app, you don’t want memory layout to be the center of attention, a major refactor in abstraction should not really require a re-thought on the life time of objects, etc.

And you do absolutely give up something with not using a GC: speed of development, much bigger teams can work on the project at the same time while not stepping as much on each other’s foot, etc. It’s not an accident that perhaps the majority of all software development is in managed languages, where it is not absolutely crucial to control the exact memory layout.
telegram also removed bots from Navalny team which you could ask what non-ruling-party candidate has most chances to win, to facilitate "protest", tactical vote, much the same as the app would do. Telegram CEO cited some nonsense about "silent days" (why would he had obey them?) which are not even a thing with current 3-day voting in Russia.
Many people agree Durov just got threaten that telegram app would be yanked from appstores, just like navalniy's app.

Not to mention.. how would you even get the data off the microchips? (Or onto it for that matter, what magical microscopic sensors can detect your behaviour from your blood?) The antenna would be incredibly tiny and if my limited knowledge of wireless tech is anything to go by, that would mean you'd need a very high energy high frequency RF signal. Where's this energy being pulled out of and how is it getting through your skin and doing it without burning you?

About the only possible thing I could think of is something passively readable like an ID. But even then, I'm not convinced something that's microscopic enough to fit in the vaccine needles (which are tiny!)
would be detectable through skin and muscle tissue.
