The lab leak theory is taboo because it helps Trump style populism, which elites in China, EU and USA oppose.

The lab leak theory also attracts nut job conspiracy theorists because it helps Trump style populism.

We might never know what happened, but after two years my money is what a brilliant Chinese colleague (graduated from the top university in China said) told me (before we took COVID seriously)

“The bio lab is two miles from the wet market. I’ve worked with Chinese scientists. I’ve worked with US scientists. The safety culture in China is terrible.

Its a lab leak”

To anyone who thinks thats racist, its not so I don't care. Culture is not race - Ill never forget an Eastern European friend who disabled one of the gas alarms in his lab because they annoyed him when they went off. His excuse: “we didn't have working fume hoods at home”. His PI, from the same country, shrugged the whole thing off with a laugh.

Fastmail has one of these in the entryway to our Philadelphia office. It's been a lot of fun playing with the API — so far, we've made an integration with our company's chatbot [1] to manage "board tokens" [2] which allow folks to post to it (without clobbering each other's designs); a web UI to create designs which can be posted using the bot; and a 'vesta show' command, which creates a composite image of each cell of the board to represent the current board state (e.g. [3]) so that our colleagues in Australia and elsewhere can participate.

It's a lot of fun!

To clarify: the split-flap elements used by the Swiss railway (SBB/CFF/FFS) were produced by Omega Electronics and had the controlling hardware embedded on each element, controlled via RS-485; the older Solaris needed an external controller that drove the stepper motors.
> Ireland with 95 %

In Ireland we have, today, rates substantially lower than the peak in January. The variant prevalent in January was far less infectious, and most stuff was closed in January (there was a sort of timid partial reopening of some pubs and restaurants the previous November, which was reversed at the end of December, no events with over 50 people were allowed, everyone was still told to work from home where possible, etc). Now we have a much more infectious variant, almost everything is open (though people were advised to work from home where possible last week), and the rate is still lower.

That actually looks like reasonable evidence that the vaccine _is_ somewhat effective at lowering the R number, to me. At any rate, something is clearly reducing infection; despite a much more infectious variant, and far, far more social mixing, the R number is lower than it was in January.

List of PRE-IPO Companies [December’21]
My message was mostly for those that hide behind mistakes via an appeal to authority. Trying new things is a risk, which is fine, but to own the the success of the risk means you must also pay the collateral of owning the failure. The message is for those who don’t put up the collateral and hide behind ‘this is what everyone(the pros /sarcasm) is doing’ or ‘this is how it’s done’, and never reflect objectively.

No one would argue against trying things, it’s where all creativity and innovation comes from. I argue against dysfunction, the whole ‘the ship is not sinking’, when in fact it is.

Anyway, perhaps I’m speaking too personally, because I am on a literal Titanic right now, so apologies for that.
I may need to go through the whole list and mark more of them as unavailable, but in theory the ones under "Mass Produced" should be available fairly quickly from a large enough retailer that your employer would be willing to buy them.

The ones under "Assembled" are from small businesses or side businesses, or at times may be unavailable for months, or have week+ delays before delivery. There are some companies like https://falba.tech/ (EU) and https://bastardkb.com/ (Canada?) who make several models.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/ is the best place to ask if you have other questions, including on other suppliers.
While I don't know of any imap to git sync tool specifically, there are tons of tools for storing email locally in plain text and for keeping these local email stores in sync with imap servers. The most common local email store formats seem to be mbox[1] and maildir[2]. Mbox stores one "folder" of emails per file, while maildir stores one email per file, which does seem to be the more modern approach (exceeding your file quota does not seem to be a particularly urgent problem anymore).

I personally use mbsync[3] to pull my email into a local maildir. I also use notmuch[4] and a nice tui[5] to search, read and write it. Note that filenames in maildir are unique, but provide little value beyond that. Some emails are also encoded in ways that will hide content from grep and friends (base64 being among the most popular ones). This makes notmuch especially valuable, as it abstracts all those encoding issues away and provides an amazing search interface.

I do not use a git repository for email myself, yet since a maildir is just a directory tree of plain text files, storing it in a repo is a no-brainer:

mbsync -a # Configured via dotfiles
cd my_local_maildir
git add .

There's the future that is likely and then separately the future that would be ideal or preferred.

The latter:

* eliminate dependence on the cloud - the entire idea of "everything through port 80" was 100% wrong in the 1990s and it's even MORE WRONG today. Centralization is never the answer except as an instance within some cycling change. Distributed tools are still the better answer under all reasonable circumstances!

* focus on implementation of both parsers and IDEs. New languages will always be created and anything that makes both parser AND IDE creation easier and more "automatic" is a good thing.

Most everything else good can come from these to start with.
Who is doing the selling?

Since nobody is in charge you should expect most sellers to be full of nonsense and misinformed. That’s the nature of any decentralized movement - especially one as directly antagonistic to the status quo.
Generally Frontend is complex, Backend is simple. Both can be easy or hard depending on the project.
This was not my experience in the UK - at a grammar school with a specialist mathematics designation (in the late 90s). There was a wide ability gap between the mathematics teachers, and very few could practically teach calculus.

Further, at that point in time, calculus was only part of the A’ level curriculum, and most people would never encounter it unless electing to do that course.

You're defining 'harm' in a very literal fashion. I'm arguing regardless that no one was injured or, from what we can tell, fired or anything, they still caused a lot of inconvenience for some people. Yeah, the hack is kind of funny, and it is likely pretty much everyone remembers it fondly[0], and none of this is really a huge deal in the end, but what I'm saying is that it is perfectly understandable to be embarrassed by having behaved this way in the past, I believe it is a sign of maturity.

[0] However, it is not unknown for soldiers, even one's with PTSD, to have an overall fond recollection of their time in the war either, so it's not clear that means anything.

It seems to me you want something more stable, not something easier. Speaking as someone working mostly on backend (Scala codebase) but having to touch a Typescript codebase from time to time: backend is certainly not easier, but it feels way more stable to me and it's easier to keep current.

Yea, there are two misconceptions based on old sayings that always make me laugh in relations to birds. When people say bird brain as an insult to others. And when people say someone "eats like a bird", trying to say they eat so little.

These people obviously have never been around a parrot. I have an umbrella cockatoo and have been around parrots since I was a teenager and I am absolutely fascinated with them. First they eat a lot more than people think by far, and their intelligence is so misunderstood and underrated.

I've also seen similar studies and traits done with Corvidae (Crows/Ravens) which they show similar behavior and traits. Corvidae will work as a group to get everyone fed and will stand lookout and help each other with tools according to some recent studies.

My take away with animals is too often we as humans are too arrogant to understand other species are way smarter then we give them credit for. Of course, we also have to be careful not to anthropomorphize either which can also be hard because of our own viewpoints.
Yeah, one should probably add a randomisations step for each channel for good measure.

With random byte->byte lookup tables those costs should be hidden by the cache.

In that same time period, my "plant light" timer, a $15 mechanical item of a design unmodified since the 1970s, has worked flawlessly, requiring attention only when the clocks change or my schedule does. It has not informed Google, Amazon, or anyone else about its job or anything else in my home. It has generated no royalties nor invoked any support or ongoing maintenance costs. It has never needed a software upgrade.

"Smart Home" stuff even since the "x10" standards has been a solution looking for a problem to solve. A hobby for the homeowner who wants to ride the high side of the Laffer curve in effort and expense. It could be argued that quiet, flawless functioning of these products would be exactly what the customer doesn't want in this product space.

Compare it to model trains: is that hobby focused around having a lovely little table set up and watching the trains run? Or is the actual focus the torn up mess that's under construction and "we can't play with it right now but i can get it assembled to show the kids by Tuesday".
I've started developing websites in the 90s - when you developed on IE3, send them to Geocities over my 56k modem etc. I've been a web developer ever since, FullStack first of course, later when the BE/FE break happened I focused more on FE but still do Fullstack work, while in the last couple of years I contract as a FE dev only.
My conclusion is: todays FE is harder than BE.

- You have to test your code not only on a single VM (like when using C# or Java), but on a multitude of browsers, on various screen resolutions (there are no FE projects today that can afford to not be responsive)

- Automated testing is hard; in Backend (or regular systems programming) you usually would test a single function/class by comparing its output. But the output of a Frontend is not HTML, its an interactive piece of pixel graphic which only makes sense to a human eye. Yes, there are HTML assertions, but they will not find bugs like hidden elements due to false CSS breakpoints. Yes, there are pixel-matching testing frameworks that make sure your output looks the same to the last pixel but practical application is almost impossible because

- There is too much change. Besides the framework churn in FE space everybody is aware of, UI is something immediately visible and critiqued to every end user and PO in the process. I have sat through a lot of sprint reviews where non-technical POs/PMs raised their feedback on the UI ("can we have the button in the other corner and in blue?"). Never ever in a sprint review did anybody critique my REST API definition, my internal DB layout or my choice of ORM. On top of that, fashion is a thing. You could easily have a rock-solid, slowly evolved Backend from the early 2000s running and actively selling to a customer. Try to sell any product with the look of a 2008 website to any customer today - good luck.

There is loads more reasons, and I do not say Backend is trivial or easy, but to me FE just requires more effort. I must admit, ever since the last 2 years I did no longer have to support IE11 - which took a big burden off my daily work.
At first I thought that the article will be about putting so many features, that “in the end it will be able to send e-mail”. Because this is what is killing products - adding, and adding and redoing design as if users really were begging for it. And then comes new product that is leaner and more simple and takes over the old product and cycle starts from the beginning. I think that in capitalism it is not possible to not overengineer a product.
It's been founded by Romanians, the CEO and founder is a major shareholder (he's the richest Romanian at the moment, $8.3bn). Some other CXOs are also Romanian, friends of the founder, I think.

The Romanian R&D center is obviously competitive, otherwise we wouldn't have so many offices from purely American companies in Romania.

So the direct answer is: for long enough, I hope :-)

The proposal is about shrinking the reserved loopback range from 127.0.0.0/8 to 127.0.0.0/16. Everything from 127.1 to 127.255 would then become ordinary IPv4 addresses.

I’m actually not fine with people posting random studies and then also making random claims from undereducated interpretation. That’s not the process of science, mostly because in the process of science you’re expected to be educated first before you can enter a discussion, otherwise you’re not discussing heavily niche subjects with peers you’re just introducing noise and that drowns out the actually useful educated niche. As a layman that is trying to find what the actual, educated in virus research and virus forensics folks are discussing and saying, this sort of undereducated claim is more noise for me to try and sift. It’s very annoying and a waste of my time.
There's a phrase in Europe. "Old money dies hard"

> Funnily enough, Apple disagreed withtthis author and changed the way their subpixel algorithm worked years ago, so the author's preference clearly wasn't what the majority were expecting.

Apple only changed it due to the prevalence of “retina” displays. When the pixel density of your screen is high enough, sub-pixel rendering stops making sense (your normal pixels are already small enough). You can just apply normal anti-aliasing and get the same result.

This also has the advantage to remove all the super special font rendering code from your code base, no need to percolate font data through your entire rendering pipeline, just so you can do sub-pixel rendering in your final compositing and scaling step. Just push normal pixels, and treat everything the same.

All of this doesn’t change the fact there might be situations where sub-pixel rendering still makes sense. It’s just the OS X no longer supports it.

I own one. No issues with readability. In fact I’d say it’s easier to read than most fonts. Online pictures don’t do it justice.
The setup is transparent plexiglass. I suspect a bit of Clever Hans effect here. The parrot may share its token to appease the researcher (who they've learned controls the food), not the other parrot.

It's quite unfortunate that they didn't test this when both parrots' food holes are open. Nor did the "middleman parrot" appear to share its walnuts back the other way.

Then again, given that these are Ivy League parrots there is a solid chance at least one of them has read Das Kapital (and can repeat it back better than most students!)
Static Constexpr Whittling Knife
The insidious thing about over engineering is that it's usually committed by very experienced engineers. Experienced engineers rarely under-engineer, that tends to be fixed very early in one's career.

As we get more competent and read more books, we have the tendency to get enamored by new fancy abstractions. We get too clever and then we get in our own way.

Best real-world example: I inherited a project that was an giant "microservice" with 50-ish endpoints, and a Mongo database and dozens of collections. After probably 3 months of wrestling with this thing I had a realization: "this whole thing can be just a simple command line tool and one collection in Mongo". That reduced the code by almost half and it became so much easier to work with. It's frustrating that it could have just started this way.

The reason I continue to argue this point is that I can't seem to grasp the mindset of people who think there's no shame in fucking with people they don't know. Like, how do you square that? Do you like getting fucked with by people you don't know? Is it made better if they thought it was funny?

Then, if I'm lucky, Alexa will convince the Philips Hue to flick on a dozen lights.

When everything works - it is subtle magic. When it doesn't, it's obviously a load of poorly debugged JSON parsers with finickity wifi connections.
There is a ClearType configuration wizard that allows you to make fonts a bit thicker. I recommend doing it as a counterweight to that, especially on high DPI displays.

I can't imagine that anyone in love with birds is capable of putting them in a cage or on a leash. How could you take away so much freedom yet comfortably state that you love your pet? Sure you might think you treat him well, you pet him every now and then and provide it with some food and care, but is that truly an improvement? Is it better to provide a golden cage than to roam freely?
I sure do hope that it will become a world wide taboo to hold birds as pets. If you're such an avid bird enthousiast, why not just stick with feeding the locals? Atleast those are free to decide to visit you or not.
