AI is in a conversation about an interesting article, on a popular website. Be nice.
explanation The command palette allows you to quickly enter keyboard commands for common software actions and functions.For casual use, command palettes greatly improve on file menus: the list of available operations is easily searchable and you don't have to remember which menu each operation appear. For more skilled users
Remember the times before Spotify? Piracy was the only way to get a lot of music ; there simply weren’t any paid options.

Nowadays the market for buying or streaming digital music has made paying for digital music viable.

With a lot of YouTube content, the situation is very similar today; there isn’t a way to pay for content without simultaneously being exposed to ads and the associated tracking/profiling/stalking. Maybe as adblocking becomes more common, creators and platforms will be forced to accommodate for the change in demand.
And catching Covid is safe? Funny how you won't hear about the cardiac issues that Covid causes from the fringe crowd

But I'll add one thing, it's not only ignorance, it's straight up spite and sadism from the anti-vax crowd

Because they will take any BS and try to run it as far as they can with it. Including a 2001 paper like the one it was posted yesterday
With all the shit google has done i honestly don't care if people are ethical when dealing with them.
That's a trick question. Every SF politician is a fringe figure.
I can't find any mention of animal RNA in the twitter thread. Is that mentioned in another thread or deeper in linked documents?
I read somewhere that tea leaves are great at absorbing fluoride from the ground.
If we're really going for the detail.... well, my neighbor is a contractor, he owns multiple almost-dead power drills with unlimited supply of dull bits (enough to get the door open). If that's not an option, there are few hardware shops within my walking distance where I can by a new cheap power drill as well as a cheap lock. And if I really messed it up, there is a market for home renovation supplies not really far, they sell doors with comes with lock.

Now that I thought about it this deep, I think I can be a locksmith too with all the nature advantages that I clearly have here. I don't even need a power drill, a battering ram is well enough for my job. And if somebody call me to open their door, I'll just ask which color they would like for the new door that whey about to own.
There are different parts to the interview. The technical part will depend on the specific job you’re interviewing for, and for developers, that might include some white boarding or shared coding environments. You’ll want to practice those. Maybe team up with someone to act as a practice interview partner.
Then there’s a more social aspect to the interview. For this part, make sure you review all of the Leadership Principles. For each and every LP, come up with at least two or three different stories from your life where you encountered situations like the LP in question. Write those down, and present them in STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result — see https://www.indeed.com/hire/c/info/star-interview-format). If you can include links to web pages that describe the event, and especially what you did during the event, that may help.
If you’ve done all this, then I think you would be well set for the interview. It will take four or five hours, and be done in a panel format, and if you don’t get the job after the interview, then maybe you dodged a bullet.

Disclaimer: I was recently hired by AWS, and the above is a description of basically what I did. However, your mileage may vary. Good luck!
> There is no way _at all_ to constrain the agenda _or_ the outcome per the current constitution.

Yes, there is, and it is specifically per the current Constitution; that is, the Constitution itself limits the agenda and outcome by excluding certain matters from amendment (a lot more earlier on, now most notably the equal representation of states in the Senate.)

> If you are on the left, imagine the new constitution specifically forbidding abortion.

I can imagine a convention proposing such an Amendment. I can't imagine it getting the support of 3/4 of the states needed for ratification, which is the main constraint on the impact of a convention—that it's outcome only matters to the extent a sufficient supermajority of states signs on to Amendments it proposes.
It wouldn't be so bad if these new outdoor people actually respected the outdoors. Yet they show up with blue tooth radios and leave trash around
Honestly, don't worry about this. We use plenty of spices and my kid's lead level was extremely low (undetectable if I remember right). They will test your kid at some point too. This, and other potential sources, are only a problem if the test shows there's a problem.
> You think it's unfair for people who have young children to not be expected to also be on call 24/7?

That's dicey and depends on if you consider folks having children as them doing something they wanted for themselves, vs them doing society a favor.

If the former, it's like reducing work responsibilities of someone because they're also taking piano lessons on the side and its cutting in their free time. It's their choice and they are doing it for themselves.

If the later, then yeah, you'd have to cut them a break, in the same way we often do for folks with jury duty.

But having young children isn't, like, a health condition someone's born with.

The sleep disorder one is a bit trickier, since no one willing has sleep disorders. At the same time, it's not really your team mate's problems. I have some health issues that make me less productive at work. I don't get the roles, promotions, and compensation of the folks who can do more than I can. It sucks, but at the end of the day, companies hire you to do something. It's not a social service.

Yup, you can use it to input letters and numbers.
The WHO skips forward two Greek letters, avoiding a Xi variant
Of all the problems international cooperation could tackle, pandemics seem like they should be the easiest.

Either you are dealing with one, or you aren't. Pretty stark contrast. So should make countries more comfortable ceding sovereignty, knowing it's going to be only in exceptional circumstances.

Coupled with the fact that SARS-CoV-2 has proven that even the most stringent border lockdowns fail in the face of highly transmissible, asymptomatic threats. Which makes this an "everyone" problem instead of a "head in the sand is okay" one.

And finally, you're dealing with something that is generally agreed on: dead humans are bad and to be avoided.

Godspeed to those trying to broker consensus.
They also inherited a small CDMA network from MetroPCS, which they wasted no time sunsetting once they turned Metro into their budget brand.
Another case I find myself grabbing pirated copies of movies is when I click play on and the best bitrate (once it decides to "automatically tune" to it on my symmetric gig fiber) makes me think the members of YIFY went to go work at Amazon to try and get 4k HDR encodes to fit on DVD-9s.
> The first constitutional convention was ratified by 9 out the 13 colonies, 2/3s.

That's because the ratification of the Constitution wasn't governed by the rules for amendments, whether introduced by Congress or Convention, under the Constitution.
I don't think we can choose which variant infects people
If you're talking about herd immunity, you might not be as up to date on the newest variants. We could theoretically reach herd immunity against the original covid-19. But there was no practical way to get to herd immunity with delta without mandating three vaccine shots at gunpoint which would be about as popular as burning Medicare to the ground.

With Omikron herd immunity is impossible. 100% vaccinated population wouldn't get us there.
> And the amendments outlawing it actually show how the constitution works as ideas change over time.

The amendment to end slavery happened on the backbone of killing several hundred thousand Americans. The compromise between two sides was to shoot people until one side agreed.
Slavery was too deeply enshrined in federal law to be rid of, and it was ultimately abolished via extralegal means (namely the Civil War).
For ad-hoc data science work R is always the first (and last) tool I reach for. It's just so fast and reliable to develop in, and with tidyverse, such a joy!! When working on python projects, I've seen very experienced python people (gold for the python tag on stack overflow) get stuck on some frustrating and mundane dependency installation issue and spend an entire day with attempt after attempt to install and get on with their analysis.

By contrast, R has the occasional but rare installation issue, and almost all the common ones are solvable in a few minutes with a re-install.

I think for large software projects where dependencies could be an issue, especially long term, R might not be the best choice.. for now anyway.

I feel some of your pain on the tidyverse front, but for that reason I stick mostly with fairly common functions and avoid exotic new ones. Even if I do venture into new ones, I comment them so I know precisely what's going on so in the event of a refactor a few years' down the track I'll be fairly safe. With R there's usually 10 ways to do the same thing, so you're never completely stuck, you'll just get an error which typically has some sensible way to handle.

To spin a positive light on the deprecations, most are replaced with something nicer, so although you have the pain of updating old code, it forces you to be aware of the new approach, which is a silver lining of sorts.
It's not just lobbyists. Congressional term limits would also increase the power of staffers, who would tend to just move from one Congressperson to another as they term out.

Is McKinsey helping pharma companies to price gouge? Or is it simply advising them to take advantage of the current set of legislation in the most optimal way possible?

McKinsey is not responsible for drafting the legislation. It's simply advising what's best for its clients in the current context. I see it no different than a lawyer advising his clients to never talk to the police - simply because it is allowed by legislation. Or a tax advisor advising his clients on the best ways to minimize their taxes, which is once again enabled by the legislation.

I don't understand why a single store is the solution to this problem? Wouldn't it make more sense to have multiple stores but build a single shared system for 'buy once play on all'?
I suppose if I thought all touchpads were supposed to be scratchy, small, and imprecise, then I would manage just fine too—by plugging in a mouse.
A Handy Little System for Animated Entrances in CSS
I've got my phone in the cradle and I can look at it whenever I want, even when navigating, and it has no stupid popups or park brake sensor.

I don't need stupid nanny-screens that I have to touch to tell me what to do, and I don't need the screens that I've paid for in my car put in a place where I can't see or use them if I want because I can't be trusted.

I'm an adult and I'm very aware that when I'm driving I should be paying attention to driving and not the screen.

I'm quite capable of deciding when I will look and when I won't look, and I won't have that decision taken away from me by some focus group full of brain-dead idiots or marketing people who derive some kind of sick pleasure from fumbling with touch screens with no tactile feedback.

Feel free to go ahead and design that crap because it will make my next car buying decision really simple.

If you put that kind of crap in a car and I can't turn it off, then I'm not buying that car.

To make it clear:

Any kind of touch screen that I have to press every time I drive to use the screen I paid for = no buy.

If the AC is controlled by a touch screen = no buy.

If volume can be controlled by a touch screen only = no buy.

While I'm at it, let's add this: any kind of tracking that I can't disable = no buy. I don't care about your app.

If I'm spending my multiple tens of thousands of dollars on your car, I'm the owner. Not your moron silicon valley focus group of Elon Musk idolizers and touch screen fetishists.

If nobody wants my money, I'll be very happy driving whatever older car I can buy that has none of this crap forever - and I probably can do that forever because it is likely much more repairable than your garbage touch screens built by the lowest bidder.

Your move, manufacturers.
> The supreme court has ruled (almost 100 years later) that it does mean people can own guns, generally for the purpose of state defense [1].

That's not really a fair reading of Presser. That case merely upheld Cruikshank and by extension Barron. Since the Second Amendment was only a limitation on Congress (pre-incorporation) the State could effectively do anything. Presser just added on that States couldn't go so far as to deprive the Federal government the resource of the militia.

> This is the first I've heard of a regular citizen having the right to parade around in their own battleships.

People definitely had their own canons and ships back in the day and it wasn't solely a United States thing [1].

I was allowed to work on the same problem space at a company for 5 years. I was an absolute master of the domain and it was incredible! I was so productive it was insane. I could plan and execute these totally wild projects that evolved the platform in positive ways. It was a lot of fun.

But... I could feel myself stagnating. I wasn't really learning anything. I left for another company and discovered that, yeah, outside of that area that I had been working on for 5 years I was almost completely incompetent. Didn't feel great. There's something to be said for switching areas every few years, it keeps your skills fresh.
Sorry, I should have included my disclaimer, but the system isn’t letting me edit my response.

Disclaimer: I was recently hired by AWS, and what I described above is basically what I did, and is based on the excellent advice given to new interviewees by the recruiters when you make first contact. I did not come up with this process on my own.

However, as always, your mileage may vary. Good luck!

Except that a lot of our Government buildings were built in the 1970s and are totally reliant upon HVAC which even in the cooler months may struggle with getting enough air flow. (Cooler months, average temp about 23 deg C).

I'm sure that when I'm in the office I'm not getting any fresh air. Only benefit is at the moment about 70% of the workers on any one day are working from home.
Plumbers (or companies employing plumbers) warranty their work. Do employees warranty their work for employers? I have never heard of that arrangement in the US.

The trackpoint is nice once you figure out an acceleration curve that works for you. I am a huge fan.

It would be pretty amazing if that was available on Macs, but honestly, the touchpad is good enough that it's probably not needed (unlike most other laptops).
You've probably just described most jobs.
in addition it can probably mutate back up in terms of severity? although I believe geneticists have some framework to estimate/predict likelihood of that
Really? Strange that none of the torrent-sourced NIN albums in MP3 format I have contain anything like a crypto wallet in the id3 tags...

But it really isn't sufficient for the artist to just stick a wallet address somewhere in files seeded, and hope for the best.

The format needs to formalize support for it, my players need to verify and make that information conveniently accessible to me, preferably in a one-click-to-tip-artist using my configured crypto wallet kind of fashion.

For me this is one of the actual legitimate use cases of cryptocurrency. These microtransaction kind of business models where folks like artists are happy to receive tiny amounts like tips if they can get it repeatedly from all their fans globally, passively, just by having created their art and putting it out there where it's all effectively "long tail" revenue, stacking as they produce more work, ad infinitum.
Even if it really was like that, there are still good reasons for not allowing that - if there is still a chance it can kill people, there would still be considerable bodycount if it really is more transmissible and many people get infected at once (overloaded hospitals). Mild symphtoms also still don't say anything about possible long term damage that might only become aparent later. And lastly, infecting so many new hosts opens the possibility of creating a more deadly variants, just by pure chance, due to so much virus replication going on in the hosts.
Everyone says this because it makes sense at first glance, but does it really? Did the US get most of its infections from people driving over from Canada and Mexico? A virus from China or South Africa spreads by planes, not cars.
I think what you mention about breaking packages is not exclusive to R, that's just the result of community driven, open software development. You have to take care of reproducibility in any programming environment, but this doesn't have to do with the entire package eco system. Especially the tidyverse is very exclusive in that, since it is very fast paced and constantly evolving with breaking a lot of old code.

Many popular packages like data.table rarely break after years of version upgrades. But relying on that in any kind of programming language is asking for trouble...

We're using renv since about a year at our workplace and haven't had any major issues occur. Maybe try packrat? Or try conda with R. Otherwise using docker should eliminate most reproducibility issues
Publishing a Web Component to npm
It is worth refreshing the memory about how the WHO handled the initial stages of the pandemic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c07MnRmJPcI

While I am OK with science being wrong and then corrected, WHO has eroded public trust in staying objective and seeking truth.
Operation Sundevil
As a data point of one, my guess would be not much. I've had sinus problems and turbinate surgery.

As a kid, and even as an adult, I have a weird chewing fixation. As a kid it was wet rags for some reason, as an adult pen caps and the like. And not like nibbling nervously, I'm talking chewing with molars into an unrecognizable mess. Jaws are super strong, sinuses suck.
Both can be true - if you have a variant that is less deadly (but still deadly for some) and it is more transmissible then it will kill more people in absolute numbers. Also it can overwhelm hospitals, cuaing additional deaths and injuries (due to late treatment or treatment errors).
Extremely useful on iPhones, iPads. Still going to use the default YT player on macOS though. Live streaming quality on macOS is very low quality with the html5 player.
I remember always looking at this one in the stores as a kid, I could never have it because it was too expensive according to my parents. Over 20 years later I saw it on Marktplaats (Dutch eBay) and I immediately bought it, I haven't touched Lego in 20 years but this was the holy grail that I could never have as a child.

https://pypi.org/project/dhall/ uses PyO3 to reuse Rust's implementation to allow Python to load and dump Dhall configs, since no good and performant native python implementations exist. It's been quite pleasant for this purpose.
Some parents homeschool.
Lack of housing is, of course, a major part of the problem. And why might you suppose that previously affordable housing in what might have once been a relatively obscure locale is now in tremendous demand?

Knowing a number of folks personally who have been priced out of these places -- often the hometown where they hoped to spend their lives -- might give me a different sense of perspective than you seem to have.

True, but is that much better? Ideally I think we want the main driving force behind what laws are written to be the actual people we elect, right? Otherwise, what's the point?
I would argue the opposite - the world needs less collaboration [coercion] in pandemic response. Having the WHO bludgeon countries into obeying standards set by a small committee of elites is an abuse of power waiting to happen.
Why do so many websites and services need to run 24/7?

Put another way, if a non-internet business wanted to operate 24/7, they would have significant expense and logistical problems (to the extent that very few do so).

If you’re a PaaS/IaaS provider, ok, you’re going to have to run 24x7. If you’re anything else, maybe you should have a serious discussion about what it’s worth to you to operate around the clock.

Of course it’s weird having web sites that are unavailable 24x7 but it’s not unheard of - some government web sites like clerks of court, inspections and GIS already are “business hours only”.
I think this will happen until a variant that's less deadly but more contagious burns through the population and leaves a trace of immunity.
> The presence of host derived RNA insertion from the TMEM245 gene (https://virological.org/t/putative-host-origins-of-rna-inser...) would argue for evolution within human population. Otherwise I would have had this spillback from animal population on the list of hypotheses.

TMEM245 is a conserved chunk of mRNA in primates.
We lived in a house with lead for a few years. I had my kids tested every six months. I even made sure I understood which type of test they were conducting. My thought was that this is a long term problem; if levels start rising, then we would take immediate action. Kind of a pull vs. push model.

It worked, we never saw elevated lead levels. Way easier than worrying about every little thing and monitoring them at all times.
That depends on your perspective. If multiple levels of memory hierarchy are relevant (such as when scaling from 1 MiB to 1 GiB), you will see something resembling O(sqrt(n)). If you remain within the same level (e.g. from 1 GiB to 1 TiB), the scaling resembles O(log n) more closely. Or, in other words, it depends on whether you assume that cache size grows with n or is independent of it.
> Either you are dealing with one, or you aren't. Pretty stark contrast. So should make countries more comfortable ceding sovereignty, knowing it's going to be only in exceptional circumstances.

Without a hard metric it's a slippery slope and governments will not cede emergency powers. That's been the history of nearly all emergency powers. Ask yourself how long this pandemic will last and whether anyone will agree upon criteria for its end.
