I don't think there's a frame of mind or rationalization that can make you appreciate an album more. Personally I think Discipline is alright but I prefer other albums, even THRAK which came later.
The Myocarditis cases aren't all mild, they have led to heart failure and at least some of them are likely to lead to premature death. Consider that the JCVI (UK) does not recommend the second vaccine dose for children, due to this risk.

Secondly, I'm not saying that this has happened, there is no way for me to know. I'm saying that it is possible to identify such cases and still dismiss them. Sudden cardiac death in youth isn't that rare and even hundreds of excess cases could fall under the radar.

I'd also argue that the incentives are such that a dismissal is likely, now that the CDC has recommended the vaccine for children. The CDC used VAERS data in this assessment, which is incomplete to some degree and the window within which a possible side-effect is considered is small (two weeks).

I don’t know if this was intentional, but I found it hilarious that while browsing this incognito on the iPhone, all the ads were for KY-Jelly.
Moreover, we live in a time where simple guilt by association and even asking simple counter narrative, science-driven questions is enough to get one blocked from all other mainstream registrars and hosts.

There aren’t many other options that I’m aware of.

So, it’s entirely possible even new customers have joined for lack of other options.

I’ve resisted using them, and this incident vindicates why I’ve been hesitant to, but that still leaves me with no options for safely hosting thought that’s against authoritarian-approved narratives.

Once again, nuance seems dead, with no place for free thinkers in the middle between the extremes.
I feel the opposite, most (engineering) managers/directors are bad because they've either lost their edge and having coded in years (or decades) and cannot appropriately respond to team issues or they were never technical to begin with.

Easiest way to lose a locker room is having a manager/director who is technically inept.
I think the line is little more muddled and mushier than that. Where I work, the product manager runs the stand-ups and is responsible for writing and prioritizing stories as well as grooming the backlog.

They seem a lot like the project manager to me. :-P
In many cases the first version of the churches were literally built from a preexisting Roman building, recycling the stone. E.g. York Minster.

My father said something interesting to me once (he's a boomer of course): "Most people in my generation have this sense somewhere deep inside that they failed, but they're not sure exactly what they failed at."

Hunter S. Thompson wrote extensively on this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3iKBxJ9vQ0

Only a small percentage of that generation were into the specific sort of counterculture Thompson was steeped in, but the whole cultural zeitgeist of the generation was wrapped up in various forms of either political or mystical idealism or a heavily marketed idea that scientific or technological progress would deliver giant miracles in short order. These people expected some kind of big, glorious future and they feel like it just didn't come.

Nice retirement accounts and second houses was not "the dream." The dream was something bigger, an "ultimate triumph" as Thompson calls it, and they feel like they never quite reached it.

Instead they got the 1970s when it all seemed to crash down in a wave of urban crime, drug hangovers, crazy cults, serial killers of the week, pollution, and stagflation. Keep on truckin'!

A good number of them are still looking for "it." Apocalyptic evangelical Christianity with its rapture tapped into this. The unbalanced Internet techno-utopianism of the 90s and Singulatarianism tapped into this. Qanon's language tapped into this.

I'm a young gen-Xer or old millennial depending on how you count it. As a rule my generation is a bit jaded on movements and idealism, partly as a reaction to what many of us see as the delusional thinking of our parents.

I hope to leave the world better than I found it, but I don't expect some kind of shining utopia to rise from the waves. If we manage to solve the big problems of our era like climate change, sustainability, and wealth inequality, their absence will merely reveal other big problems that were building under the surface. Life is beautiful and fascinating but it's also a perpetual struggle against entropy.
He's probably telling you that he is getting shit for bugs

But being a "shit umbrella" is literally part their job. A good manager should be filtering inputs from external sources, tossing out the useless input, and translating useful inputs into actionable tasks or discussion points for the team.

Instead of "stop coding bugs", the manager should be having a discussion about defect escape, test quality (across the spectrum of test types), and doing some self-reflection on whether or not task descriptions are adequate (if they only ever capture the "happy path" and don't describe desired failure behavior, it shouldn't be surprising there is undefined behavior in the software).

What impresses me is that many of these cathedrals were built slowly over many many years. Sometimes hundreds of years. Each new king or ruler would start a new "wing" of the cathedral and many times the construction would outlive their rule.

I use org mode by having a single file and using it as a notebook/journal. I use todos to mark important entries.

I’m comfortable with org mode operations and formatting although I don’t know how to use drawers or properties or what’s the point of archiving. I like using org-ref, and I see a version of that has been added officially this version.

I never learned a more clever way of using org mode. Any tips or guides?

You are wrong on several key points but I clearly won’t convince you of anything so I’ll save myself the trouble of arguing. Take care.
In some ways FLOSS almost encourages a mentality akin to the old Microsoft "embrace, extend, extinguish" minus the actual extinguishment. The best way to get people to use a free Unix, besides making it free, is to make it /better/ than the competition while also compatible.

Besides the lack of portability to other Unix systems isn't a real problem. The operating system itself is portable! /s
> Doesn't really mean he's clueless though. He's probably telling you that he is getting shit for bugs, and there's a company perception that the product is buggy. Ask questions and find out. And if that's the perception, help him with a pragmatic way to share the real story.

I think this means he is clueless in the way that a developer asking "what is a for loop" would be considered clueless. Managing company perception of what your team is working on, and advocating for their work both in terms of features and fixing bugs is like Engineering Management 101. Doing all this "asking questions to find out" stuff is what the manager should be doing.

> My experience is that if the team isn't translating what they are doing, why, etc...upwards, then the boss eventually makes up something to measure.

Again, managers doing this are clueless in the same way that a developer "making up" syntax would be. They should be replaced by better, more clueful managers.

I have absolutely no idea why we as an industry tolerate arduous coding tests and take-home projects for "individual contributors", but have a propensity to give people managers a free pass on obvious stuff like this.

>I tend to encounter the latter in smaller companies that have revenue pipelines outside of tech and aren't entirely tech-oriented.

These orgs also tend to treat all tech as cost centers (perhaps, correctly in their context of business). The more non-technical the manager, the more likely tech is a cost center and necessary evil, usually resulting in toxic development cultures.
The whole "GNU/Linux" story always struck me as incredibly arrogant and ridiculous. A typical modern Linux system has more lines of web browser code than lines of GNU code. Should we start calling them "Chromium/Linux"?

If you follow the FSF's actions closely, you will find they're incredibly insecure about people switching away from their software to alternatives. Typically the alternatives are not GPLed but rather under a permissive BSD-like license, and they latch onto this to deride any new competitors [1]. But those competitors don't typically exist because people hate the GPL; they exist because -surprise- GNU software isn't the be-all end-all, and it's a fairly common pattern for GNU maintainers to be reluctant to change at best, or actively hostile to third parties at worst (anyone remember glibc's Ulrich Drepper?).

Then there's how Stallman vetoed GCC having a useful AST output mode (a requirement to build smart IDEs and other development tools - yes, including such features in emacs) because he was scared of third party proprietary extensions. That's one reason why clang took off - its extensibility and flexibility, which the FSF was always against GCC having. The FSF (and particularly Stallman) hates clang, again reaching for licensing and moral arguments, because they just can't accept that some people may have written technically superior software to theirs, and done so with a more permissive license. [2]

In the end, it's hard to see the FSF's response to these things are anything but controlling and attempting to stifle competition. And we absolutely need competition for a healthy free software ecosystem. There is no value in trying to represent GNU as some kind of indispensable component of a Linux-based OS - they aren't, and pretending they are hurts us.

Political pressure boils down to money in the first place. Youtube cannot exist without advertisers (its actual customers) In this case its money lost not money made. Advertisers with an agenda can basically pressure Youtube into doing whatever they want if they threaten to pull out. In all my years of working in advertising one thing I’ve learned is that advertisers do not care if something they don’t like is contained elsewhere on the website, if it’s there they’ll get their way or leave.
> The best managers I have had were ones who had previously worked as developers.

I’ve had a few managers that did that, one of whom was very close to the absolutely worst manager I’ve had in any job.

Understanding the work is a useful thing for a manager, and having done it is one way to get there. Understanding people is more important, and working as a developer is not much of a way to get there.

I used to live near a church that quartered troops during the English civil war, it dated back to the 1100s.

The new village I’ve moved to has a practically new church, only the 1600s. My own house however is more impressive - I have the original deeds going back to 1831, which is quite humbling looking through them.

The Pershing 2, fielded in the 1970s, is an example of what third world countries will be fielding now and in the short term future.

The P2 was a intermediate range ballistic missile that used an imaging radar and hypersonic glide to soak up inaccuracy in the launch position to drop on top of a hard target to destroy it with a small nuclear warhead.

For an IRBM this is a cheap and simple way to improve accuracy, increase range, and confound missile defenses.

China has developed an anti-ship ballistic missile that uses P2 like technology to deal with the inaccurately know position of the target and the possibility that the target could travel several miles when the missile is in flight.

A longer range ICBM with maneuvering is moving faster and would accelerate at 80g as opposed to the 25g of the P2. The material and other issues are a lot more difficult and it’s not so clear it is worth it.

I'll add MGMT to the mix. Their first album Oracular Spectacular gave us a few well-known pop hits, but their next albums Congratulations and Little Dark Age veered deep into psych rock and totally alienated the pop fans. The new albums are totally unsuited for casual listening and are probably best enjoyed with some scheduled substances.

It seems to me removing scrolling is actually work as opposed to just letting the default behavior of the browser to prevail. I'm not saying there is no point in having a site with keyboard navigation as the primary mode of interaction. It's just that when you go out of your way to remove something that should be supported natively you're scope creeping.

If losing selection highlight is a problem just disable that feature only why mess with scrolling?

If anyone has a chance, I can heartily recommend a visit to the Arithmeum in Bonn. It is a museum of calulation/calculators not only situated in a beautiful building, but also home to many fine and sometimes interactive manual / mechanical calculation devices. Some discrete, but it also houses the world's largest collection of sliderules. There were tons which had very specific usage, e.g. in farming. No clue which are still being used today, but I bet plenty still are.

BT headphones are much more reliable. If you buy something like the Sony's you can probably get replacement batteries.

My manager is clueless, but sets me up with doomed projects, where he then sweeps in to save the day, by changing the scope and removing features or renegotiating goals with the customer.

PS: Most management gets there coding experience from excel. So copy & pasta code is good.
It is as simple as having too many middle managers. It doesn't matter how large or small the companies are.

Each one need to justify the existence of their department. And to get promoted, they usually need to hire more middle managers.

These departments will inevitably have confusing directives and even non-sensical overlapping products.

Eventually the built-up inertia becomes too large.

Are just reasons for countries to not want nuclear weapons. But if e.g. Japan announced a nuclear weapon program (or it was uncovered by foreign intelligence) I highly doubt that anyone could/would stop them-- hinder their economy or facilities with sanctions or sabotage, sure, but outright stop them from becoming a nuclear power? Unlikely.

IMO every bigger western-ish nation state has the ressources required to build nuclear weapons; they just lack motivation to do so.

Just consider that smaller states like France were already able to do this in the 1950ies, and relevant helper technologies (computer aided design, simulation, industrial control) are MUCH more accessible and advanced today.

Fusion research, on the other hand, is not going to help with the major challenge in becoming a nuclear
power: it does not help with obtaining highly enriched fissile material.

If countries wanted to throw research funds at becoming a nuclear power, it seems infinitely more likely to me that those would go into "innovative reactor research" with the endgoal of producing HEU or plutonium.

To reiterate what the comment above you was saying...

Putting words on paper is easy. Putting "good" words on paper is hard or editing the words you put on paper so they are "good" is hard. Use whatever definition of "good" that you would like.
This seems to be a column under "business", apparently out of the reporter's blog hosted by latimes.

I do think it's new information to me at least that the original research proposal was actually denied AND that Covid-19 similar viruses had already been found in nature when the previous thought was that those specific mutations could only be man-made.
Calling the vaccine "harmless" is dishonest. It may have been mostly harmless for her, but the vaccine has caused death and other issues, most notably myocarditisand pericarditis in young men. For a young man who has had covid with mild or no symptoms, the vaccine could pose a greater danger than not. There is no one simple "right" answer here.
First time I stumbled over Nomograms (or rather 'Nomographs' as they're called there) was a few years ago in the Silent Hunter 5 uboat simulation. It's part of the navigation map tools and used to quickly lookup speed, time or distance from the two other (observed or estimated) values, usually for dead reckoning of surface ship locations. Lot's of other interesting and educational stuff in that game, like a handful of other "mechanical" navigation tools, and a proper Enigma emulation (this is implemented in a mod though).
One caveat for the VPS business model is they're almost certainly relying on the fact that most users don't use all their allocation and overprovisioning. Whereas something pay as you go like s3 or r2 is going to have users paid for volume equalling their used volume.
I think you are attempting to move goal posts here.

This is specifically the phase 3 results. I won’t be your search engine: go look for whatever results you want yourself. You can also find the FDA and CDC committee opinions with all the supporting documents and rationale for the granted authorizations which will have even more information on exact what criteria was used to approve the COVID vaccine usage. You can then find similar info from both agencies on other vaccines. If you spot a mistake that does jeopardize the integrity of the studies or the decisions please let me know and I’ll help you contact these agencies and the media. Outside of that, please keep the goalposts where they are.
