Not for long with the rate things are going with covid.

Morbid jokes aside, what I see here is an indicator that vulnerable people need to be protected (if they want), and the rest of the young healthy population needs to go on with life, and probably spend a little more time outside.
They should know because my email isn't available anywhere online for a reason. Every time I reply to ask where they got my email, they mention some service that scrapes emails based on LinkedIn addresses. This isn't okay. That's spam. They're clearly trying to avoid LI's platform for whatever reason (probably cost).

It's not just about blocking domains, it's about figuring out what those services are and yelling at them for scraping my data and assuming I want them to hold my email when I've not put those details online.

That's a surprisingly recent addition on iOS, and it appears to not have made it to macOS.
This is the response I was looking for, thank you.
I believe e.g. in the Netherlands, the parents would walk or bike with their kids up to around 8-12, and then the kids would walk or bike on their own. Seems like schools are typically pretty close to home as well though; I found a paper indicating that 90% of students are within 1 km of school there and 97% within 2 km: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33297559/
My co-founder and I ran a startup before this, which was also VC-backed, so we had around 6+ years of networking built up from that. You meet hundreds of VCs along the way. So it was never an issue of finding investment for this new venture. It was finding the right investors.

We raised our pre-seed round in 2020 without anything, just a pitch deck, and fully remote. We didn't meet our investors in person until several months after closing on the round.

We raised our Seed this June based on having roughly 100 companies using our product, a good percentage paying us. So while I wouldn't say we raised our Seed round with PMF, we were (and are) showing signs of PMF.

So yeah, our product is a bit past the MVP stage, but not by much. We still have bugs that come up almost every day, and we fix them as fast as we can. However, the product has matured greatly in the last six months.
Can someone please see the "view source" of this page and tell me if what I'm seeing is malware? I'm seeing a LOT of scary-looking UNIX code (PID, root, IPs etc.)there that doesn't appear on the site, is my computer now compromised?

>but you can learn how it works so you can do it yourself

This part is definitely illegal. You can learn how it works but you cannot write the code yourself, you have to write the specs for someone else to do it, who hasn't done the reverse engineering.

I thought fizz means eventually to fizzle out and disappear.
I think this debate is missing one of my favorites,

locate.
My point being that the bar was so low on the implementation that anyone with a shred of intellect could have done a better job. But for the sake of discussion I would have for starters left the military on site until the civilian component was safely out of the country. Don’t need a diploma in strategic retreats to see that.
One thing many of these designs don't bring up is long-term growth. Is the plan to build it once and that's it? Boring, and too prone to failure if the project runs into trouble at any point in time.

What I'd prefer to see is a space construction that is continuous. Imagine a ring station, but one that is cellular in nature- lots of smaller modules that together form the huge station. This allows one to construct and add further modules over time, growing as needed.

The beauty of this design principle is that we could start today. Design the first iteration of these modules, with the intent to fit them into SpaceX's Starship (or whatever heavy rockets come next). Launch 10 or 20 of them, connect them, and spin them up to 1/5th gravity, something not too hard to do. Add modules in the centre of the ring that are zero-G, where zero-G things can be done- but allowing those who live on station to live in mild gravity at least.

All the while, you can dream big. You can plan for how this station goes from 10 or 20 small modules to thousands.
I knew a South Korean prof who chose to live in North Korea (as a philanthropic act) and teach at their top university (His research was in Embedded Electronics). Conversations with him completely changed my mind on North Korea, because prior to that my only context was through American/Canadian mainstream media (read: propaganda). I still think its a dictatorial regime that needs to be abolished and the North Korean people deserve democracy, but the day to day life of an average North Korean residing in a large city is not very different than any of us here.
> git bisect is the "real" way to do this, but it's not something I've ever needed

git bisect is great and worth trying; it does what you're doing in your bash loop, plus faster and with more capabilities such as logging, visualizing, skipping, etc.

The syntax is: $ git bisect run <command> [arguments]

It'd be interesting to see. At the moment Europe is largely dominated by the US tech industry (bar a few notable exceptions, like Spotify). One of them leaving would open a nice big gap for new/existing EU alternatives to compete in.
When this made the rounds first a while ago, I wondered what the fuss was about and compared. At that time I had only the 'candles' with E14 socket, non-dimmable, clear, at 2.5W, 230V/50Hz:

[1] https://www.osram.com/ecat/PARATHOM%20Retrofit%20CLASSIC%20B...

which seemed comparable, though running at about double wattage.

Anyway, they last and last, and I'm perfectly happy with their light.

Meanwhile I upgraded everything else also, and have a few of these

[2] https://www.osram.com/ecat/PARATHOM%20Retrofit%20CLASSIC%20A...

also non-dimmable and clear, for lamps with a single E24 socket, which should be bright, at 7.5W & 10.0W, 230V/50Hz.

Still very happy with the light, but can't say much about lasting, because only about 2 to 3 years in use, while the candles are now 5 to 6 years old.

All 2700k btw. I like it that way.

edit: I should add, before that I followed the fad with the CFL stuff, none of which lasted longer than 6 months,

made ugly light, and that not even instantly(warm up), sometimes with noisy chirping.

So for me it looks like I should have skipped the CFL phase until these were available.

>>>It's big companies and the military that are causing massive amounts of resource waste and overuse.

While often wasteful, the military is only 4% of US GDP,[1] and almost 40% of its expenditures is Pay & Benefits.[2] The rest, about $400 Billion, is <2% of the US's ~$21 Trillion economy (real 2019 GDP). It's...interesting...to single that sector of the economy out in particular.

Yes. You've answered your own question, unwittingly, by comparing covid with Ebola and pointing out that in the (vast) majority of cases it is not harmful. The answer is yes. People breathe air. People spend time around each other. These mostly mild yet sometimes deadly illnesses will be transmitted.

In this context, it's an allusion to carbonated drinks and is a different way to say 'bubbly.'
The War on Stupid People (2016)
Not to mention the 'lobby' system in many games these days; unless you make friends by chance with people already playing online games, you effectively play with random people on your team, and random people on the other team.

Gone are the days where games in which you can join a regular server, where you see your friends, join a clan, etc. are the norm. Now you have to send friend requests to people and hope they accept, and even then, you can't play against your friends in casual play, only with them.

Recently I showed my little brother of an online FPS game from 2003, showing someone at a high skill level doing the map objective without help. The player killed everyone in sight with ease. My brother commented, "How the hell was that guy placed in a lobby with all these bad players?". To him, the only way that online FPS games work is that you queue in a lobby to be placed with people of a similar skill level. It didn't occur to him that you used to be able to join a server at a particular IP address and play with regulars and crack jokes with people you've known for years.
Don think automation is the real long term vision.

Edtech with healthtech inclusion becomes key.

Why?

Because I that proces of initial decision making is still undervalued.
Exactly. Every programming language out there has some cases where you can break the established rules by doing weird stuff. When this sort of thing happens, there's two things to look at:

1) Is this likely to happen by accident?

2) Does this enable some functionality not otherwise available (even if it's still a bad idea)

Looking at the paper, it seems like neither of these is the case for Java/Scala types. Given that, I would categorize this as a weird quirk of Java and Scala, and leave it at that.
And is it working?
My sentiments as well. It gives the impression of a society where the only sentiment not scoffed at is satisfying one's urges and impulses. It's so hollow and empty.
They should design a robot to slap them across the face every time someone suggests "Let's change how scrolling works"

Please. Stop. Don't do that. It's weird and unnatural, leave scrolling alone.
> Unfortunately I coudln't beat HashMap with the "classic" approach, but I got close. I am curious to see a better implementation that brings more engineering tricks on the table.

I think one of the big advantages of using open addressing is memory locality. Since it is harder to control memory layout in Java (and relies on the optimizer/JIT to optimize common patterns) I wonder if you are getting the full benefit of open addressing in Java.

In addition HashMap is standard and the Java compiler/optimzer/JIT can make certain assumptions about how it is used which may enable certain optimizations. Also, a lot of the heuristics for optimization likely used a lot of profiling over the years, and because HashMap is so widely used, it is likely that common usages of HashMap are reflected in the profile data and thus the optimization heuristics.

Australia: Army Forcibly Throws Covid-Exposed Citizens in Quarantine Camps
Wake up!
Everyone listens to the gods in ancient myth, as we know.
I don't know if this is helpful, but this 2003 research estimates about 6 animal deaths per acre of agricultural harvest, or about 7.3 million animals.[1] That puts it about on par with industrial animal consumption. But granted it seems much more difficult to have accurate estimates.

I think part of the problem is that most people in industrialized economies are extremely far removed from the food supply. I don't think it's super common, but also not unheard of for deer (especially fawns) to be killed by harvesting machinery as they bed down in fields. Considering hunting a deer may yield 60-70 lbs of meat, it might be possible to claim that reduces total animal deaths. Now I don't know how you'd arrive at a final number because most people are omnivores and still eat plants, but I don't know if I'd immediately dismiss their claim as absurd.

I see from your profile that you work in the farming machinery business so I'd be curious if there are any specific mitigations you would consider to alleviate this problem?

There are certainly ways to do it that are less risky than others. I think the closest thing the US has now is the Child Tax Credit: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/Treasury-and-I...

That's relatively hard to corrupt, in that it's a federal program with clear numeric criteria drawn from a system that is robust because it's a big slice of government revenue.

Also, as far as popularity goes, at least in the US there's a strong allergic reaction to The Wrong People getting government money. So the mortgage tax credit is seen as fine and reasonable, but "strapping young bucks" getting food stamps is a deep outrage. So I think UBI won't become truly popular until politicians can find a way to get enough control over who gets it such that only the right people (wink, wink) get it.
Just what I was looking for. IMHO Arcane marks a milestone progress in Animation technology.

Also glad that the article confirmed that they don't use MoCap. It was such a great choice. I recently watched another visually exquisite animation movie on Netflix (the one in the Bright universe). There they used completely flat shading to achieve toon look for characters and environment, but made the characters move with MoCap animations. It looked very eerie.
Depends upon your audience, and how you present your experience.

US division of Japanese-owned industrial concern, you come from a flamed-out fintech, and you present it as five years of your life you'd like back: obviously not very forgiving scenario.

US sales financing department of US division of Japanese-owned industrial concern, you come from a flamed-out fintech, and you excitedly show them how you worked on getting automated factoring decision-making to work: much different result.

Halting construction of a single pipeline is not a “ban on all new pipelines”

A single pipeline under construction is sufficient to demonstrate that there is not a blanket ban.

A single pipeline under construction being shutdown is not sufficient to demonstrate the existence of a blanket ban.
I think it applies personally as well as to families; you can be excited for an event, but you can worry about your clothes, your hair, your shoes, your smell, your smile, your voice, your style, etc. etc. It's very unlikely that you will be excited for your clothes or your shoes or your hair. So there's one kind of happiness but many kinds of anxiety. Similarly you can be content with your life, or discontent with your finances, home, relationships, etc. etc.

Same as a computer system has one way that works, but many things which can go wrong.

It's why entropy is a thing; there's only a few ways to build a stable structure, but zillions upon zillions of ways to build a crumbling pile of dust. Almost any change from wind/pressure/radiation will move it towards a less structured state.

It's related to why the Pyramids are so stable, they are shaped like the aftermath of a fallen building, a pile of stone can't easily collapse any further.
That's the thing, they're not faceless to the establishment. They are their friend and donors.
Not for finding filenames, but for finding files containing stuff, there's the magical `grep` ! Probably my most used command for finding stuff in a massive legacy codebase.

grep --include='*.js' -rn methodName

will recursively search the current directory and all subdirectories for .js files containing the word 'methodName'

Obviously IDEs can do this as well, but since you can supply regex, you can get some pretty complicated cases.

Random arbitrary example but difficult to do with an IDE -

grep --include='*.js' -rn methodName\([^,]*,[^,]*,[^,]\*\)

same as above, but only find methods with 3 arguments
Globally, at least, we appear to be well along that path. The number of people living in extreme poverty has declined precipitously over the last few decades [0].

Philosophically, why is inequality an inherently bad thing? If the poorest among us universally had the standard of living of today’s millionaires, why should we be bothered by the existence of trillionaires or quadrillionaires?

For me, it comes to a differential in political power. The greater the magnitude of inequality, the easier it is for the quadrillionaires to put the plebeian millionaires back into abject poverty.

There is room for civic duty, sure. What there isn't room for though in my mind is people thinking they can dictate intimate aspects of my life to me in the name of civic duty.
I am not sure if there is a name for this phenomenon, but it seems to be a frequent issue where, e.g., in this case some probably very limited run ads in obscure magazines only the fringe of society every even possibly saw are now in the future interpreted and assumed to have been seen by everyone, all the time, and were of far greater importance or impact than they really were in reality.

Does anyone know if there is a term for that kind of "bias" or self-deception?

The odd reflexive impact of that seems to be that today's historians and social sciences people are prone to falling prey to the "bias" and then weaving it into preconceived notions and narratives due to other biases like confirmation bias.
An alternative that comes with built-in dependency injection is using the .NET hosted process model. Much easier to test too.
For real. The talent in the game industry is insane. Recently, I got my mind blown by the Unreal Nanite team:

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

The core of it is a respectably sophisticated LOD building algorithm, as you might expect, but the sheer amount of engineering horsepower they put into driving it into production just boggles the mind.
I read that as a modern JavaScript framework. I think there's definitely a good debate about what “modern” means in that case because I think it's less about “modern” and more along the lines of “suitable for a large team working on complex client-side functionality”. Reaching for that prematurely can add a massive toolchain to your critical path, which adds a lot of frictional cost you might not see sufficient benefit from.

One of the challenges we have is that people tend to hear about practices from very large tech companies because they have enough people to have things like developer evangelists and time to write lengthy blog series or produce videos. That often leaves people without the nuance that some of the tradeoffs make more sense when you have 50 developers including a dedicated support group but smaller teams might not make back the cost of entry. I like posts like this for reminding people that there are other options which might be appropriate for different projects, especially since even at large organizations it's usually easy to find small projects.
> Is there any difference in trust between package maintainers and flatpack packagers?

Yes, and very big: Debian maintainers need to build a reputation for years to gain upload rights, meet in person, sign keys, and the packages are peer reviewed my multiple persons.

Plus, packages spend time in release freeze being tested by a large userbase before a distro is released.

I think preciously few people necessarily dislike the idea of quelling hate speech. The real problem is who gets to decide what classifies as hate speech. When there is a large contingent of america chanting nonsense like "silence is violence" one moment and "punch terfs" the next moment, I'd rather that nobody gets to make the decision of what does and does not constitute hate speech.
You're applying some bizarre revisionist history here, XMPP being phased out affected a vast minority of users concerned about what Pidgin would now do.

This is the internet, go back and look at the reactions yourself.

And XMPP will not let you fight with Facebook's network effects.

Point to one major competitor to Facebook that was taking advantage of XMPP to reach even 10% of their billions of users in 2015?

XMPP is a bloated mess that would struggle to support half of what Messenger does, so you'd just get another iMessage vs SMS deal.

-

Honestly it's bizarre how people think large companies work. Like someone sat down and said "let's rewrite our chat backend to kick off Pidgin and the other smattering of clients that use XMPP!

Realistically XMPP was limiting, so they wrote a rich platform with MQTT, and added an API to interact with the new platform.

It took years for XMPP to catch up to half of what Messenger was doing.

Like these companies do enough bad stuff, can we stop inventing new things?
For those who haven’t seen it yet, Arcane really is beautiful to look at even if you don’t like LoL. It’s worth a watch just for the sheer level of art that went into many of the shots.

Unfortunately this article doesn’t provide much actual detail on the production process. From the descriptions here and watching the series, it seems to be what I’ll call “Borderlands on Steroids”. 3D camera, characters, and elements, but 2D matte paintings for backgrounds and hand-painted textures on everything to look pseudo-2D. The added 2D explosions and random elements are probably done in post. Great composition overall and very satisfying to watch.
If you render everything with JavaScript then HTMX is not really going to be useful at all. It's useful for developing apps that simply don't need the sort of complex client-side interaction that those frameworks enable. The article points this out- if you want to write a SPA in React, HTMX is not going to help at all. But if you want a mostly-server-rendered page with some AJAXy interactivity, HTMX is much much easier than trying to shoehorn in some client-side rendering just for the AJAXy bits.

The main thing is is that there is still a substantial demand for tools that let you mostly avoid writing lots of JavaScript, whether on the server or the client.
Would you be OK with doing that for just yourself, or forcing something you're OK with on others who are not? Because if it is the latter (which seems all too common these days), you're an authoritarian.
Does this also apply to Scala 3.0?
Yes, git bisect is the way to go: in addition to the stuff you mentioned, his method only dives into one parent branch of merge commits. git bisect handles that correctly. A gem of a tool, git bisect.
