I love this! I have been trying to figure out sensible colouring for my Janko-layout Chromatone keyboard (https://chromatone.jp/chromatone/index.html, no longer available). All its keys are white. The original Janko keyboards used the same black and white as traditional piano keyboards, like this: https://imgur.com/a/OUAsobE

(A C major scale is shown with bold key outlines in all these pictures.)

But some people have used a 3-colour layout like this: https://imgur.com/a/ya07LGU

Still, that leaves quite a bit of ambiguity, as different notes are the same colour, and it's hard to orient yourself.

So I tried a spectrum-organised 12-colour layout: https://imgur.com/a/Is9sQiA

But with so many colours, there are very similar ones close together.

So I tried looking at 6-colour layouts, and at putting tactile dots on some keys to both disambiguate which note it is (since each colour is used for two notes), and also allow for playing by feel, so you can better know where you are: https://imgur.com/a/sFzEH0G

It's not clear where the best locations for the dots are (they'll be little rubber feet, and I have found two different shapes for better touch information).

The 12-colour pattern in this article, using the circle of 5ths, avoids the problem of similar colours close together: https://imgur.com/a/0RN7dqY

I would still like some dots somewhere on it for tactile playing. With this layout, each major scale gets its own distinctive colour scheme: https://imgur.com/a/6FhrAcK

This makes accidentals really obvious on the piano roll pictures in this article.

Hey, no judgement, and good for you for turning up for your team!
I find the excessive feature-richness to be more akin to C++ : you don't where to start, you've got the feeling it's never going to end and that it can crumble under its own weight, but in the end every feature at least has some point that's worth thinking about.
Regex is powerful but I've found like 90% of the time I encounter one it would have been far simpler and more readable to use find + substring indexing or string splitting.

Imo replacing several nested if statements with a single esoteric regex is not necessarily a win. It depends on if pattern matching is really the best tool for the job.

"Actual medical science, and science in general, doesn't make claims beyond what we know for certain"

Unfortunately I read papers that do this, all the time. Science in general not only makes claims well beyond what's known for certain but does it so consistently that vast numbers of people, including many scientists themselves, have lost sight of the scientific method and have normalized bad, unscientific behaviour.

And this is ultimately how you end up with more than half of all drug trials being fraudulent or useless ...

> How can we achieve things with no burnout or ego-driven mindset

At the risk of sounding pithy, "make it about the journey" set a vague goal of being successful, identify key strategies you think will get you there ("excellence"), and take pleasure in figuring it out, find reward in the incremental stages and don't sweat it when you stumble.
Maybe they too were confused and thought they were cutting a cheque to a subsidary, not a different OS project? ;)
We have been at this, technically, for years and has been discussed in multiple forums prior to now. It's a done project for me (my primary focus is bufferbloat), as all the technical work I could do is complete and the core patches for 240/4, and 0/8 and zeroth in the linux kernel and BSD. The internet drafts are now submitted for consideration for standards track. If they fail to gain support, the existing and future usages of these ipv4 spaces will remain unstandardized.
For heavy optimizations, I've learned that looping through each char and maybe passing in an array of illegal or preferred chars is faster than Regex. It's about 2-2.5x the speed from my basic example.

So if you're processing lots of stuff, manual loops might be better. If not, Regex is the way to go.
Yes, that is standard subaddressing but not all email providers support it (I've never heard of a Microsoft Exchange server supporting it). One problem with it is it exposes your real email address. Another problem, as the Wikipedia article notes, is there are a lot of inputs with poorly written validation that won't accept '+' as a valid email address character (they often only allow a-z, '.', and '@').

> several families who I know in person chose to take Ivermectin as part of their treatment when family member contracted covid. All of them successfully recovered from covid.

Are you aware that this doesn't constitute any sort of evidence about ivermectin's effectiveness?

> a person I know lost 2 legs shortly after "safe" jab due to blood cloths.

Are you aware that coronavirus causes clotting much more frequently than the vaccine? I'm sorry for your friend, but if this were commonplace then every other person in the street would be an amputee, given how many billions of doses have been administered.

> Another person got cardiac arrest after jab (being 24yo) and was paid a lump sum (more than $200k) by government to suck it up and keep his mouth shut.

So how do you know about it? Wasn't a very good gag order then was it if you know and are spreading it on the internet? I'm just going to say it - I don't believe this story.

> why Ivermectin is so actively dismissed and the pharma jabs are so actively promoted?

Well because Ivermectin hasn't been shown to do anything for covid, but quacks are promoting it online. The vaccines, on the other hand, have been tested and found to be a useful way to reduce the consequences of the pandemic. A pandemic that's killed millions so far. So those are pushed. I mean seriously - how weird is that? Who would ever think, something that's been shown to help in a worldwide health crisis, and it's being pushed!

By the way, ivermectin is a pharma product too.

> There is clearly some evidence ivermectin does help

Where do you draw this from? This is not clear at all, this is a bland assertion.

> This atmosphere of ignorance and narrative-pushing has nothing in common with intellectual curiosity

I agree - you have shown no intellectual curiosity there, asking for studies to be done that have already taken place and you could easily find, and throwing vague allusions about cover-ups around. This isn't intellectual curiosity, it's clinging to a conspiratorial narrative. Perhaps you could use your knowledge of psychology to figure out why you prefer this narrative.
You just cited a source from 2018. Are real wages still flat, right now in 2021, or are they down? Do you think wages hiked 6.2% with inflation over the past few months?

BLS says real wages at -1.2% over the last year, and thats probably conservative. Combined with my third point it sounds a bit scary dont you think?

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.nr0.htm

I could easily combine points 1 and 2 to your point but imo it makes more sense to separate because inflation and how we measure it is at the heart of the issue.

You probably have a decent salary or pension, where credit card is a common thing, because you are a big spender. I am in that category where people are considered poor.

Debit card is basic choice to people who has low income(you can look up statistics and that is biggest share of demographics in UK). Credit cards usually comes with charge and the last time I checked(~10 years ago) there were no credit cards that were for free. Things might have changed, but for anyone out there it is too much hassle to change bank accounts and it is for me and I know what I want and if I need credit card I will have one, but if I don't want one, I will have no use for that, like I don't have any use for that now so I don't have it.

As for general advice - my observation is that population, especially in UK, are somewhat very gullible and will believe anything and even fool themselves and that is the reason why banks are giving very simple and not deep enough information. The key difference between debit and credit card, when it comes to fraud are none - they both can be scammed equally easy(or equally hard). If I was a scammer, my logic would be that people with credit cards are filthy rich and I would go and order something for 1000 or even 10 000, but debit card is small fish - in most cases scammer might not be even able to order a pizza for themselves and that is the thing, that scammers ordered from my card... I know people, who empty their debit cards as soon as they get money in their account, so - meh... what is normal for you is not the norm for everyone.

Credit and debit cards have exactly the same information on their surface and scamming is exactly the same, however scammers can only take from debit cards only that money, that is on your account, but with credit cards - they can take all your money, that is in your account AND also get you in the debt. To mitigate this risk, banks are offering safety pillow, which has longer time limit on how much banks are going to reimburse your losses on credit cards, but they are still reimbursing losses on debit cards, if you report within 48 hour limit after scamming has happened - you have to look after your credit card as well, but the time limit here is longer. But if you have not been looking after your account for 6 months and if scammers were emptying your account in that time, it does not matter if your account is credit card or debit card - that money is gone and with credit card it is even worse - you are in debt now.

So, my general advice is to consider risks - I can't repay debts, so I don't own credit card. If you can afford to pay for losses and can earn enough money, well - that is not a thing you should worry about anyway.
It's not about it being private - clearly the business can have root/admin/domainadmin/whatever access.

However your username and password identifies you. If user "johnsmith" does something, then that's because johnsmith has logged in. Now IT may have changed the password to allow them to log in as johnsmith (either following some odd policy, or a rogue IT worker), but that would be in the audit log.

If a company needs more than one person accessing an account for some reason, they should create a generic account (e.g. "z_reception" for a generic reception machine).
The way this works in the US is nuts. I had to get a parent to co-sign the loan for my first car (or else they wouldn't lend me money at any rate), but then I spent a year paying a monthly fee to borrow my own money with a "secured credit card" and instantly I'm good for 40 grand, apparently.

Getting the physical WSJ paper is ridiculous, but the digital subscription to the WSJ is great.

His strategy is definitely very media-centric rather than ideology-centric which in my opinion is really dangerous because it gives undue power to the likes of potentially malovelent actors, traditionally this would be press moguls like Rupert Murdoch but increasingly this means social media companies too. You can trust an ideologue to follow their ideology even off the edge of a cliff but someone buffeted about on the winds of short-term popularity is unpredictable and prone to making bad choices on the basis of "we must do something rather than nothing or we'll lose popularity => x is something => let's do x quickly and skip the checks and balances".

Populism and media-centric politics is a Faustian pact in my opinion, the baying crowd that got you into power can easily turn on you in a heartbeat. Just look at Blair, once the people's champion and now his name is less than dirt among the very "Mondeo Men" he once courted to get into power. I'm not sure how we can make democracy less personality-based and more principle-based, but I think less centralised traditional and social media industries would be a good start.

Who'd want an ip from this range?

There are literally billions of devices (from enterprise routers to cheap crappy CPEs) that will never get update, and which have some sort of bogon filtering enabled, blocking the forwarding for the whole 127/8 range. Having a server there, means a lot of customers won't be able to reach it, and having end users in that range, means that a lot of servers won't be accessible.

I think this is being misstated by GP.

It isn't that a lack of credit card hurts your credit rating, but that a lack of any credit hurts your credit rating in Canada or the US.

There are other ways to get an initial credit rating than a credit card, although I agree that this is the path most easy, and chosen by many to get that first rating.

The method I employed, was to buy a car and had a parent cosign. I made all the payments, and this was enough to kick start, and give me at good credit rating.

> EU approved vaccines for 12+ in May

which doesn't mean kids were vaccinated at any relevant rate at that point. In plenty places they only started that August or thereabouts. There has been some talk of delayed infections with various things due to school closures etc before, I do not know if that had any relevant impact on death rates though, but would explain why they shifted to later in the year.

> and why specifically in younger demographics?

Looking at the 44+ ranges, those are way more above or close to "substantial increase" - as you would expect with them at being higher risk from covid. Higher vaccination rates help, but aren't entirely stopping it. Potentially also some other medical factors, not aware of any good data on them (i.e. delayed treatments, risky delayed treatments now happening, ...)

> Also see 15-44 excess

Delta is affecting them more, for at least part summer you can't assume them to be vaccinated yet (and even today, in the badly hit places the vaccination rates are far from perfect - here in Germany "people in hospital" and "percentage unvaccinated" correlates quite well between regions). Delayed treatments again might hit here too, again unsure if relevant.

Could there be something hidden in there: sure. But it doesn't seem all that obvious that anything is weird about these numbers.

We should have funded libraries in the infrastructure bill. A rounding error would have been enough to supercharge them.
Not sure where you are, but if that’s in fact the case, your city would be violating the law in at least California, and likely several other states.
Is what you’re asking for possible?

JavaScript can walk both directions on a dependency graph. You can import two things and inject the first dependency into the second.

So, unless you want to “structure your project a certain way,” you’re out of luck. If you ARE willing to conform to those patterns then you can get incremental builds.

As it happens, you can get something similar within a file by declaring a type interface, telling the compiler “you don’t need to walk the interior of this function because look see here’s the signature,” but you lose the power and dynamism of implicit types / complex generics by doing this.

I could be wrong about this; it’s been a minute since ts was my daily driver.
I've been using this pattern for years.

I have a custom domain just for signups, and I sign up with [service].[username]@customdomain. The domain simply has a catchall email "accounts@customdomain"

Combined with a password manager (Bitwarden) this is absolutely brilliant.

* Spam: if I get any spam, I know exactly which company is responsible, whether directly, through selling user data or because of breaches. And I can simply block the whole alias.

* Multiple accounts: If you need a second account with some service, you simply use a new alias. No need to worry about secondary emails just for a few accounts.

* Mitigate data leaks: if some database gets compromised, all they get is a throwaway email. They also can't try to log in to other accounts or do password resets if they get a hold of the password. (somewhat redundant with a password manager and unique passwords, but still)

* Privacy: all those ad data aggregators have a harder time connecting me between accounts. (of course they still use names, address, credit card info, etc; but it helps)

* Easy self-hosting: email hosting can be a pain. But in this case you only need to receive, never send. And receiving basically always works, even with the most broken email server setup.

A downside is the unique domain name. I always wanted a shared domain with lots of users to further reduce exposure.

I actually thought about starting a service that provides this, but it's a niche product with non-trivial technical hurdles and potentially lots of support demands, so I'm happy that Mozilla is offering this.

The only downside is that people get really confused when they have to deal with your email, for example when calling support. But it's never been a real issue.

Highly recommended!

Why use it though? I'd rather wright or read 30 lines of code instead of trying to decipher what a regex means or do and making sure it is covering all possible cases.

I don't understand the goodwill toward regexes. It's basically an embedded BrainFuck in your programming language.

I'm 14 years in my dev career, there never was a moment where not using regexes came to be a problem.

True. But Raku (https://raku.org #rakulang) does have an Inline::Perl5 module, which allows you to use 99.9% of modules on CPAN (basically, only the ones using source-filters, and ones that are really, really deep into the Perl internals). So there *can* be dependencies between Perl and Raku.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, I think. We evolved in close-knit family units and groups over hundreds of generations.

There are downsides to that form of existence. It is not optimal for extracting maximum contributions to society from every individual.

Our current social configuration seems to optimize for maximum “extraction” of social contribution from individuals.

But it follows some dark patterns: unless you’re fabulously wealthy, your contributions are generally opt-out instead of opt-in, and it coerces people into settling for local maxima (flipping burgers instead of writing code, writing code instead of research, research instead of etc.)

I also agree that the impersonal nature of this configuration is disturbingly dissociative, and it’s sad that the only antidotes are (1) work harder, so you have less time to think (2) opt-out.

This has got to be the most Orwellian thing I've read today, and Microsoft saying this unironically is just bizarre:

“Windows openly enables applications and services on its platform, including various web browsers,” says a Microsoft spokesperson. “At the same time, Windows also offers certain end-to-end customer experiences in both Windows 10, and Windows 11, the search experience from the taskbar is one such example of an end-to-end experience that is not designed to be redirected. When we become aware of improper redirection, we issue a fix.”
