I think the first part largely comes down to an agreement of the second part so I'm going to skip to that for the moment, if it doesn't resolve with the second issue remind me and I'll come back to it.

To the second part: say you have a positional input set in the game, e.g. "WASD" except which letters it actually is don't matter (because of either preference mapping or keyboard layout) just that they are positional inputs mapped to movement (up/left/down/right for your average WASD user), in such a case you also have positional support keys e.g. in an FPS commonly "action", "grenade", "strafe", "crouch", and so on. A sane default will usually have these all clustered together and laid out in a way the user can press common combinations easily (worth noting sane defaults aren't universal, what is good positioning for a particular binding in one game may be poor positioning in another that plays differently or has different mechanics) and a good game will allow these inputs to be remapped (be it for personal preference or accessibility). For the default mappings if you say "press F to pay respects" without an idea where "F" is because you don't have the keymap for the user either one of two things is going to happen when it's not the same as the developer's keymap:

1) You're using scancodes and the user actually needs to press "Q" or another random letter but you don't know how to tell them that because you don't have the keymap

2) You're using keycodes and the default mapping is completely garbage for the user. This will commonly lead to...
2a) The user goes to configure a custom positional mapping but because of 1) when they try to configure a custom mapping for the "Q" on their keyboard it shows "F" in the mapping (though works as expected) making custom mappings a PITA to configure.

The way keycodes help the developer in these instances are:

1) You can display the actual letter for the default mappings, regardless if the user's keymap matches yours/your assumptions
2) You can display the actual letter for custom rebinds both in config and gameplay
3) If the user changes from DVORAK to QWERTY neither the developer or the user need to change anything for it to keep the positions/display the right letters

.

Now can this be misused to break things? Absolutely, a bad developer could misunderstand when to use keycodes vs when to use scancodes and in turn recreate a the problem class from 1). At the same time on native apps I can't say I've ever run into that vs the deluge of games and apps with positional bindings (typically content creation) that assume I'm QWERTY and look for the keycode. As for Office desktop as an example the character bindings still follow the character, e.g. I press ctrl+v to paste (which would be ctrl+o on a QWERTY layout) even though it has the ability to query the keymap for positional shortcuts.
I don't think there is any good.

The article you've linked is a straw man.

Under "Proposed explanations" way down the page:

> Modern advocates of homeopathy have proposed a concept of "water memory", according to which water "remembers" the substances mixed in it, and transmits the effect of those substances when consumed.

It are not the homeopaths but the wp editors who insist that there must be ingredients left(!)

> The concept is pseudoscience because, at commonly used dilutions, no molecules of the original material are likely to remain.[2]

Source 2, in reality, says this:

> Through the laws of physics, homeopathic medicines appear to have zero chance of containing any biologically active component. Evidence from physical chemistry also rules out the plausibility of mechanisms such as water memory.

Which is, in contrast with the wikipedia article, completely sensible and logical. The presence of active components (which is not claimed by anyone) needs to be ruled out so that the claim of water memory can be specifically addressed.

I don’t think they’re coming to eat my children.

I think they’re lobbying (or lying about status) to let their unvaccinated children bring plague into otherwise vaccinated schools.

I believe they’re lobbying to force businesses to employ them despite them risking other people at work.

These statements all have verifiable behaviour to back them up.

I have yet to see anyone stand up and say “I have the right to be unvaccinated as long as I stay away from places where I have an much higher risk of harming others”. In fact all the evidence shows that they are demanding the exact opposite.
Maybe we come back to this after the Omicron wave has subsided and see whether your fear has been realized or whether the schools have reopened? I'm not really sure what the cause for concern about indefinite restrictions is here. If a school calls a snow day, do people demand exit criteria and offramps, just in case they decide to keep the schools closed through the summer?
Khan Academy has high quality videos. They have very clear explanations, and are always factually correct. Kurzgesagt videos just add animation + story_telling to concepts. They don't add any educational value.

To answer your question, an educated guess would be to justify education costs. How do you justify high costs if all you are doing is redirecting students to a free website?
Twitter obviously hates it too.
Sometimes not even water - I saw lozenges marketed as homeopathic. Maybe the water remembers (it doesn't), but we're supposed to believe that it then passes that memory to the sugar crystals in a way that's pharmaceutically useful and conveniently manufacturable? What an astonishing happenstance!

I've only seen people get annoyed with Firestore over time, and migrating out of it. People do end up worrying. At first, They seem to choose Firestore because it's strongly marketed and seems suitable for a new project. And then data modeling, high prices or scalability becomes a problem.
That's helpful to know. I suppose I am looking to be cost effective only due to my inexperience with starting a technology venture. From what I found on the internet, an entry level salary would be well within my budget. I'm highly motivated to hire a developer now because I am going to have to turn a lot of my attention toward a recent real estate purchase and the establishment of a brick and mortar business therein. Even if I end up in the red on the developer's first year, I think it would be worth it to have the application continue to improve. I could reassess after a year. Thanks for the advice.
I saw that too. Who knows where the risk is from? In CA they have really strict rules around cancer labels so basically everything and every plance has them now.

I've heard that, because of the stack ranking, if managers want to keep their current team unchanged, they sometimes hire someone new just so that they can turn around and fire them.
For the sake of discussion of sensitive topics, I recommend you ditch the hyperbole and stick to facts if you want to maintain credibility with reasonable people.

I don't believe anyone has tried to literally force any restrictions down your throat, nor do I believe that the feds are killing people who don't conform to restrictions. I wouldn't associate your writing with disbelief or skepticism if it didn't contain this type of hyperbole.
Does this apply to checks or bank transfers as well?
It’s been stated the flu, even with vaccination, is more problematic to this age group than Covid-19. I think restrictions around this age group are a net negative.
> It would be better if you didn't have to label it and it all Just Worked

However, this is not possible. When you have concurrent code, whether you make it obvious or hide it, you have contention over any shared mutable state.

async/await is meant to have the pieces with contention be cooperatively multitasked, and the yielding of control is explicit so that you can understand that the state going into the call may be different than the state once you come out - any number of unrelated things may have run in between when you awaited and when control returned.

Not having coloring means that you have turned an explicit cooperative system to an implicit or even preemptive system. There are definite advantages and disadvantages to both, with the difficulty in tracking down and debugging concurrency issues in implicit/premptive systems being the reason that there has been so much research into other approaches such as async/await, actors, and structured concurrency.
No I didn’t miss the point, $20 is weeks worth of meal in majority of countries. People from those countries run successful blogs without paying a penny to cloudlfare. I serve much more than 2GB per month without all that on a dynamic site. Paying cloudlfare for that is like putting a tarp over a dumpster fire to quickly hide it. I would rather think why my static site fails like shit when it doesn’t even need server side processing and correct it. I’m not saying cloudflare/CDN is useless, it shines when you are serving huge assets every hour to lot of people globally, or want to secure from bot traffic, or other useful features it provides. Heck you could even host a static site on s3 or netlify for free and answer all the traffic in the world. Remember Google returned subsecond results much before cloudflare or global CDNs were in place.

Covid is and has been effectively over in a lot of places. In Texas, outside of major cities, virtually no one ever wore a mask since the start, to give you an idea. Even in major cities, interest is fading.

Covid doesn't come up in conversations anymore, in my circles. Around here it seems like the MSM is the only one interested in keeping it in people's attention, you know, for the clicks.

Covid's perceived relevance seems more and more dependent on where you live.

The point of interviewing is to make judgements. There is no irony. This judgement is: people who assume the worst of others are toxic to work with.
In practice, people won’t do that. Case in point: the article doesn’t mention this mitigation at all. It introduces an additional attack vector and tells you it’s safer.

Algocracy – Government by Algorithm
Most kids need the structure of the in-person school to be motivated to learn day by day, over a long period. If you give them a playlist and a bunch of problems to solve they will feel overwhelmed and alone.
Taking attendance, counting credit hours, and perpetuating butts in seats incentives limits greatness in pedagogy but also guarantees a bare minimum service level. Even standardized tests can be gamed but time is the ultimate resource and is the hardest to fake.
The current fiat system (and the Governments that control it) are completely enslaved to the welfare (pension) and healthcare demands of baby boomers.

These demands will only multiply as the populations age, until eventually consuming the host. You can already see this in countries like Italy, which are now in demographic death spirals.

If we can craft a new financial system without spending 15%+ of our GDP and rising on Pensions[1], even with some inefficiency its still worth it.

> Parallels tools have to be recompiled for pretty much every new kernel version because Linux refuses to stabilize the kernel API.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Parallels comes with dkms module and while the process of installing involves compiling under the covers, it's just part of installation. It's not the late 90s "compile that driver yourself completely manually" situation.

If Parallels doesn't work with new kernel, that's their compatibility issue, but being able to fix the driver yourself just gives you more options. Linux -> you can fix the driver. MacOS -> you can on new macos, with annoying extra signing and other steps. (if the source for macos is even published - for parallels that's a no) Windows -> basically wait until the vendor produces an upgrade.

Parallels says for macos 12: "Productivity and integration features are not available to this VM yet." Even if you wanted to fix it manually - you can't. (https://kb.parallels.com/au/125561/)

Basically, you get the extra option to upgrade faster than your vendor is ready on Linux - if you use that path, why show it as "I had to do manual work to make things work", rather than something positive?

I need both agent forwarding and ProxyJump. Imagine there is a bastion host and hosts X and Y (that don't have public IPs and are reachable from bastion)

I use ProxyJump to get to host X, but I also need ssh-agent forwarding to copy files directly from host X to host Y. Luckily I don't need to copy files in such way in every interactive session so I guess I can disable agent forwarding by default

Does it? I've had 3 friends of friends die of it since Thanksgiving. I don't know whether they had TVs or Reddit accounts, but I don't think getting rid of them would have helped much. There have also been a lot more exposures in my immediate social circle than previously.
This isn't a helpful or honestly very nice comment, considering you don't know the commenter's situation or risk profile. The article you linked even makes the point that delaying onset of Covid until there are more vaccines and therapeutics is ideal. Even at high R0 with no precautions, large numbers of people never get an endemic disease, due to herd immunity. And for people with kids, it's very reasonable to try to delay onset until pediatric vaccines and therapeutics are available. The fact that Covid will become endemic is not a reason to abandon all precautions.

This reminds me of self-play AI: one of the concepts behind the huge advances in AI performance in games like go and chess. You start with 2 agents that are initially braindead, then record game(s) and then set the agent which lost to train on the game history db, then see if that agent performs better. The cool thing about self-play is that it converges on optimal play w.r.g. to the game history db.

You've never seen Amazon warehouse work if you think it's not mental and physical.

A story I don't really tell people is about my 3 days working at an Amazon warehouse.

The short version is, I'm a self-taught dev who didn't realize he was good enough to be a full time dev (spoiler as an L6 making >500k TC, I was!)

So I applied to a few labor jobs: Amazon Warehouse, pushing carts at WalMart, etc.

And a few dev jobs: Nothing fancy, a few local dev shops looking for a mobile dev.

-

I get a job with a local dev shop, but I'm still not sure I can actually make it there. So I still take my Amazon Warehouse job thinking I can work both somehow... I fell asleep at my computer on my first day at the office, which is why I only worked at that warehouse for 3 days.

But those 3 days are permanently etched in my mind. BDL5, I still recognize it looking at random Amazon deliveries when I visit my parents.

I'm not sure what it is about that place that makes me slightly sick to even recall, I think it's a mixture of:

- The awful lighting. That place was lit in this sickly blue light that made you feel sleepy and wide awake at the same time, and stuck with you after you went outside

- The noise: BDL5 is a sort center. It's tiny compared to a normal fulfillment center. And it was still constantly noisy. Something like 3 acres of open warehouse, miles of conveyer belts, constant truck loading and unloading.

- The nature of the work: I think part of what makes me sick thinking about it is how depressingly menial the work was. Again, I was only there 3 days, but it's a nightmare to imagine standing on your feet for hours wrestling with comically large shrink wrap rolls for a living. Or packing useless crap into a truck for hours on end. I don't believe humans were meant for that kind of repetition. This was when BDL5 first opened and you could see how uneasy people seemed to get as the weight of the work landed on them.

-

Amazon is such a depressing company. I mean I know all of this and of course, and I still use Amazon, it's just that ubiquitous and all-encompassing (although not as much lately)

It's just reached this point where something needs to give. I'm ok with not being able to place orders at 4 AM and getting them before 8PM. We'll live if 2 day shipping becomes 3 and that allows some shorter shifts for the same pay.

But yeah, devs have it easy compared to all that.

A perfect solution for me would be something like ssh-add -c (which asks for confirmation on any agent access) but which could distinguish between local and remote agent access.

I want to add every key to ssh-agent on my local machine, be able to login into remote hosts with them but have a pop-up confirmation if there's an agent access from remote host where agent is forwarded.
