> we are also learning that they can cause a lot of unintended disease, cancer, etc

From what I've read, as a layman, many peptides can increase cell growth which is sometimes associated with tumor growth, but they may also have a stabilizing effect on cell growth which wouldn't cause cancer at all, and could even be beneficial. I don't think there has been any evidenevidence linking peptides with cancer though. Would be eager to know if anyone has seen such evidence.
Knitting?
Yeah, that's clever indeed.
Thanks, when I get closer to release I'll make a post.

Jenkins also does that (estimate progress based on last duration), but also shows estimated status equal to the previous one. If you know what it means, you know what state you're trying to fix or maintain, but it is quite confusing at first.

I just checked and my second gmail login downloaded 500 KB before it became usable. Browser allows for caching of downloaded code.

> do not risk having to do it when being on a metered or spotty connection because your cache is not warm or the webmail got yet another update, which can happen at any time. You can apply Thunderbird updates when you are on a good connection.

I agree with your point. I think that it's possible to implement a separate update for web apps with explicit request, but it's rarely done and unusual for web.

> You can access your mails offline, you don't re-download them each time you open them. It's faster, even on a good connection.

Web browser allows for local storage and offline work which could be utilized for those features. You can enable offline mode in Gmail. I just checked, it works.

There are ORMs available for Golang, but my experience has been better with packages like sqlx [1] or dat [2]. We've since been using SQLX for pretty much all DBMS related work, and regret nothing. In my experience SQLX gave us the right balance between abstraction and control.

Surely there’s no realistic hope of that anyway. It’s long been assumed than SARS-CoV-2 will become endemic in humans, just like existing human Coronaviruses.

The influence of CTH on contemporary American politics is similar in scope to that of a fly farting into a hurricane. A few people around the fringe breathe it, a portion of the left is sympathetic to it, but it has not managed to perform an insane coup on one of the two mainstream political parties, or have its ideas overtake an entire category of mass media (AM radio).

The democratic machine is proving rather resistant to those forms of attacks.
You should look a few sections down in that article. There is evidence that it slowed down and possibly even reversed in recent decades.
IMAP does support server-side full-text search of bodies. (In mutt, this is invoked with the =b operator of the l command.) Amusingly enough, this works well with real mail servers like dovecot, but it seems to sometimes miss matches with gmail, because gmail's indexes aren't very good.

Why wouldn't they stay silent? That is the norm unfortunately and congress is more concerned about being able to enact more anti-privacy and anti-encryption laws than they are of actually holding companies liable for poor cybersecurity. I definitely encourage everyone to watch the hearing with Colonial Pipeline to see what I'm talking about.
Nice answer, thanks!

If you were involved in checking their security, what would you do to verify what you're looking at is what end users are getting?
It is a common argumentation method of self-called "rationalists" that the opponent is not rational. It is extremely disingenuous for two reasons:

You go away from arguing about the topic on hand and instead proclaim that all your opponents arguments are not valid. It is basically a "You are stupid and I do not have to listen to your points".

Further true rationality does not define any goals, because it is just about using reason to come to conclusions or for deducting how to best get to a goal. People that claim to be ideology-free are very dangerous, as they are not ideology free, but cannot accept people seeing different goals.

You can see this romantic view of science in a lot of nuclear power advocates. Nuclear power has, standing for progress and a representative of science, become the goal in itself that is needed to be protected.

To come back to the dumping of nuclear waste: For a while that practice was not even illegal, contrary to what you claim. Nuclear power leads to nuclear waste, which has to be handled properly. Because that is expensive, there exists a high probability for improper handling to happen. Given how often improper handling of nuclear waste has happened, it seems like a systematic problem that is also very likely to happen again, as nuclear waste is an issue that stays for a very long time, which probably also means different political systems.

Your argument that improper handling is only the fault of the bad actors that in the end acted out the dumping is invalid. It ignores on one hand, that the responsibility for toxic waste lies with the producers. If they did not take care for a proper disposal it is their fault. On the other hand it ignores the reasoning of the people that do the toxic waste dumping. Usually that happens in poorer regions and people do it simply because they have no alternative way of earning money.
Rubella was endemic for years, but is now eliminated in most counties. With vaccines endemic is a step to elimination in some cases.
I am so fascinated by all of this. The impact on internet history and culture. The challenges of creating and growing communities. The lifestyles and faults of leaders and the controversial realities we live in.

I know about SA, but was never an active participant. Likewise I know about 4chan and other communities.

From reading the first page of this thread, it seems very critical of the creator of the community. Even at a glance I can tell that is because of the personal flaws of that person, the mistakes they've made in their life, and how they hurt other people. I feel like it is such a shame for this to be your legacy to your community. I feel like we lost a pioneer, but it's now on us to learn from their mistakes and continue to build communities that we want to be in.
Would be interesting to know if the virus might not actually have jumped from deer to humans in the first place (instead of from bats.)

Yes, Gab made their own browser called Dissenter that added a comment section to every page of the Internet. Interestingly, I can find very little when Googling for it now. I'm sure other projects have tried this too.
But people not getting vaccines are the reason we're here!!! /s

Seriously, can't we just accept reality and get back to normal. Those that want the vaccine should get it and those that don't shouldn't. I think the harm being caused by the ridiculous mandates at this point have done equal harm.
Pretty much right away for both. I think it's because with my condition; eating seems to be incredibly inflammatory. So, whenever I eat anything, I my blood pressure spikes tremendously, heart rate jumps ~15 points, I get brain fog & all kinds of other symptoms, which last several hours only to subside when I start to get really hungry again. Of course.. at that point I'm hungry, and it becomes increasingly hard to not eat.. so once I cave and eat the cycle starts over again. I currently eat twice a day and have tried cutting that down to once a day but at that point my meals are so large that the falllout is just terrible. The goal is always to eat as little as possible while maintaining adequate nutrition, which is hard, because I also don't seem to assimilate nutrients from food very well either.

Anyways, if I am taking a lot of fecal matter and using the peptides; the fallout I get from eating is not as bad. There are still other issues, but it seems to work at at least within a few days with the fecal matter and instantly with the peptides. Very sadly, I've noticed the benefits go away pretty quickly once I stop using each treatment as well. It really is a nightmare, but I am sure others have it worse.
That’s exactly what I mean, thanks for explaining!
YEah it will be interesting to see how it can be treated if it has no territory . Technically most of UN conventions require territory to be applicable. Territorial waters are defined based on this land, which has to be natural.

Most likely this will be treated like when a country invades and destroys another: .TV will cease to exist and its citizens will be absorbed in other States.
Flu mutates very fast. Thus it only takes a few cases keeping it going and then a mutation evades vaccines and it is back. Better vaccines would help, but we don't know how to do that.

I have not really seen much popularity for those forks. And I'm honestly not trying to handwave anything away. This is like, literally every open source project. You have to adjust your workflow to use anything, a desktop can't do that for you. If you decide "I hate GNOME/XFCE/KDE/whatever I'm never going to use it" and then switch to something else then you have to adjust your workflow again and then they have to pay the maintenance cost. So I really do not get why there is so much resistance to any particular project pushing a certain workflow, or what you want me to say that would make you happy. I hope you can understand if someone refuses to ever take "no" as an answer to a feature request than it is probably that person who is being unreasonable there, that is going to guarantee that they face disappointment. I apologize if this seems on-the-nose but this started as a response to someone claiming that some behavior is hostile, so I think it is really important to re-adjust the expectations here.

I'm really disappointed to see the thumbnail thing get brought up yet again, it's extremely exhausting to keep having to come back to that issue over and over. None of those patches in your comment appear to have ever been finished for various reasons. We could get into it and try to play the blame game here but also I hope you can understand how that isn't helpful. I know you are posting it in good faith, and if you have something new to add to the conversation that would move it forward and resolve the situation then I'd be glad to listen. But otherwise I have to say I'm sorry, I am not interested to go pick apart 5, 10, 15 year old comments on a bug tracker. Especially if the end goal is just speculating at how we think some developers may or may not have acted like jerks.

Edit: And I don't even work on this stuff, I bet you can imagine how the GNOME people feel after getting brigaded every few months from reddit and 4chan commenters complaining about how something isn't done yet...
> or that Google et al. are, of their own accord, interested in going out of their way to burn PR (and real premium subscriber dollars) to aid the administration?

Given that after Trump won in 2016, a video leaked of a Google meeting of higher-ups literally in tears that their side didn't win, I'm thinking it's this.

Booking.com is required to follow Dutch law and originates from the Netherlands, which at that time required informing customers if the hack could have negative consequences for them. They ignored it and did nothing.
I doubt you have much direct information about him being a "terrible person" or the abuse he's alleged to have committed. Do you suppose it's possible that he was intelligent and creative and troubled and flawed? That's not such an uncommon combination of elements in a person.

Probably from breath. It jumped from humans to deer in the first place, meaning that such encounters do occur. And since COVID is hardly recognizable from normal flu without a test, even one such encounter is enough to restart the pandemic.
Anyone remember ezpics?
Deer like most urban animals eat human garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if they ate stuff like used facemasks and napkins and got corona that way.
Because Booking.com is a Dutch company, and the EU has GDPR, the incident cannot legally repeat itself. This was 2016 incident and GDPR become effective 2018.
It’s called divergent thinking. Creativity is a form of intelligence.

This took place just before the EU-wide GDPR was introduced, but under the Dutch national laws applicable at the time Booking.com was obliged to notify its affected users. Because the impact of a foreign state actor spying on your hotel bookings can be quite high (something Booking.com cannot reasonably determine for their users themselves) disclosure should have happened then in 2016, and the Dutch Data Protection Authority should have been informed as well.

What stops some communities from being violent? Various groups of pirates, marauders and bandits existed in the past. The Vikings were well known for it.
If the kids are educated as to why a certain action is being taken, as opposed to just No then kids can accept the policy and be fine with it.

My parents explained the reason for not allowing me some music: I listened nonetheless as I found the rule unreasonable. DARE explained drugs were bad, but they weren't being honest about the stuff they were saying. My mother forbid me from eating hard candy for years because I choked one. It embarrassed me and I did it nonetheless if she weren't around. I know I'm not the only one that does this. In other words, explanations are only helpful if they are truthful and seem reasonable to the child. Forcing a child or teen to be an outcast isn't generally reasonable. (the child choosing is fine).

Messaging such as Signal or iMessage is allowed, but I just don't understand as to why kids have to share million selfies each day. So anything out of the Zuck-factory is a complete no-no. Bottom line, I'd rather ostracize kids in the short term than cause longer term psychological harm.

You know, messaging isn't realistically better if they are being ostracized. You could teach someone rules about it and keep an eye on activity. Some things will simply be out of your control, though. Being ostracized can very easily cause long term psychological harm and it easily leads to bullying as well - after a while, you wind up out of the loop and have trouble talking to your peers. Folks go to therapy to learn how to undo this. You probably recognize it in folks that have overly strict parents.

I refuse to have my lifetime wasted by political philosophy without one single longterm surviving project.

And yes, lets take Mogadischu. A prime example that when the state breaks down, people fall back to family ties, aka clans, aka feudalism with grandpa as the default model.

Edit: As a individual mindset, anarchism is incredible liberating and i can recommend it as a thought approach, that takes nearly nothing as "given". But for a "given" like oneself and ones fellow men, it does not work out to design proper stress surviving societal structures.

As long as the client is accepting of time-T-for-feature-F, I quite like this mode of development. Whatever is built shows value at every step. As long as a suitable programming language is used to allow for the changing executing environment (in your example: a GUI).
Sure. But couldn't the US government have done something if they wanted to? I think it shows a very different attitude towards the pandemic.
This is before the GDPR, but precursor Dutch national laws already mandated disclosure.
Signal is not entitled to the value associated with being open source. Signal is merely pretending to be open, when in reality they are more community and user hostile than plenty of closed source or proprietary projects. Calling Signal open, is an insult to anyone actually building or supporting open source projects or protocols.

libpcap does so little you're better off doing that yourserlf and avoiding going through the library, giving you more control on I/O and memory management.

As for the library interface, what I usually need is to synchronize a pcap stream with other sources of historical data (some of them other pcap streams, some of them log files). Doing this requires knowing the timestamp of the next packet before I process it so that I drain all events prior to that packet before I process said packet. The iteration API provided doesn't really make it easy to achieve.

I also often need to re-order a pcap stream in a sliding window, decode time using a combination of the Arista keyframes and FCS timestamping.

My input is typically compressed on-the-fly and split into multiple files which isn't exactly handled here either.

The way my own library does this is that you can either process a stream from memory or from an arbitrary file descriptor (which can be a pipe hooked up to something that concatenates or decompresses data).

I haven't looked too much at the packet decoding/encoding, but anything that allocates memory is a big no-no for me, and it seems it does. Doesn't seem to be much of an improvement over Tins.

Interesting part from the Dutch version of the article:

Booking is nooit eerder op spionage gestuit. Het bedrijf is er ook niet echt naar op zoek. Zolang die geen hinder oplevert, kost het geen geld. De onuitgesproken consensus onder specialisten binnen het bedrijf is: we vermoeden dat inlichtingendiensten meekijken, maar zolang we ze niet zien, maken we ons niet druk.

Which roughly translates to We are not looking for espionage and if it doesn't hinder us we don't care.

Getting a result: definitely.

But there are free-form feedback fields all over nearly every Google product. Submitting feedback is generally very easy. E.g. on my phone, going to https://google.com -> scroll to the bottom of the page -> feedback link which gives me a text field. On search result pages I don't get a feedback link on mobile, but it's down there at the bottom on desktop.

The same is true on Gmail, Google play, YouTube, Drive, basically everything. In less common cases, it's on the first page of the "help" link. On mobile apps, it's often in the hamburger menu.
