Multiple dispatch isn't useless for you. It's the reason the numerics are so good even when everything is the same type. Multiple dispatch makes it way easier to write generic code which means that all the libraries you use are about 10x easier to write.
I really enjoy learning about quirky ways to "store" energy, there is also one case that allows "storing" of energy by pushing massive concrete blocks uphill and when energy is needed, blocks simply slide down and generate energy. Not sure if this can be called "Storing" though.
I was genuinely asking what you meant by "always" when the police have been around 180 years and the ability for individual homeowners to be recording footage of whatever they want in common usage has been around maybe 10 years.

Given that link, I would be very surprised if the Minnesota Police heard of Leo Theremin connecting a camera to a TV in the Kremlin in 1927 and immediately organised a map of citizens with cameras they could "ask if they have footage and are willing to share it"; the link says CCTV was a military thing until 1950, was expensive and uncommon until the 1960s because it needed someone always watching the feed, so ther ewouldn't have been any recordings for the police to view for over 40 years. Then "it wasn’t until the late 1990s that it started appearing in mainstream camera products like security cameras for the average business or home."

I'm guessing the time the police would routinely ask if anyone had footage of the crimes would be sometime after that, after CCTV recordings became popular enough in businesses that there was a good chance of a camera seeing a crime in enough cases to make it worth organising. Maybe mid to late 1990s for businesses? Then, individuals with things like Nest Doorbells ("homeowner surveillance camera program") wouldn't be a thing until maybe 2010s?

Which makes me think it's an odd thing to say the police "always did this".

I'd rather tell that to the politicians who spend trillions of dollars but are unable to set up dedicated decentralized COVID-19 care facilities.

Patients mainly need oxygen, no need for full ICUs.
Surely, what is true is not determined by what the majority believes?
You could try the Singh Thatta method – basically, using a yoga/pilates elastic band as a headwrap, against which the N95 forms a tighter seal. I've done it a few times in higher risk situations, and while I feel a bit silly with it, the fit does seem significant better.

I see that you've been down-voted however they have 40 billion in assets under management.
Even medical professionals don’t mask properly — and I’m talking at big medical centers run by the largest HMOs in the US.

It’s not hard to wear an N95 correctly. They come with a manual and the CDC has plenty of supplemental information.

What’s more important is people being disciplined enough to use them correctly all the time.
I respect that you are replying, (who cares about karma though? Internet brownie points are dumb). How is pushing vaccination under the auspices of achieving herd immunity NOT representing that these shots provide immunity? Goal post shifting by saying, "The US is not the whole world" does not answer that question.
Nobody cares about decentralization - they just want to X, and X can be a lot of things. It's like the saying, "people don't want a quarter inch drill, they want a quarter inch hole".

My opinion is that I don't mind people getting banned from platforms. My problem is with letting the platforms get so big that being banned is that much of a problem. It's like getting kicked out of a bar. If you're generally obnoxious you should be kicked out, and you can go down to the bar down the street. If you're so obnoxious that you can't get a drink anywhere in the town that's your problem. What I don't like is where there is only one huuuuge bar in town and if you get kicked out there the only place you can get a drink is some shit hole and the beer comes in shot glasses because that's all you can get.
We must live in different worlds. I’ve watched US left-wing mass media a lot in the past year or so (news media like CNN and late night infotainment comedy), and saw this happening with some frequency. Hosts rarely claimed outright that science is perfect, no—they just ridiculed, scorned and separated into the outgroup of science-disbelievers those who didn’t want to get a jab under the argument that vaccines may have unknown side-effects. (Go figure the difference.) Saw similar sentiment in social media, too (jokes about having to deal with anti-vax relatives over the holidays and so on).
I agree wit you; masks should not be worn in schools.
That’s what I tell my kids (tweens): if you could smell their fart, you could catch their COVID.

I think OP omitted "When the" from their comment.
>> In a study by Chia et al. (2020), SARS-CoV-2 genes were detected in sampled aerosol particles with diameters >4 μm and 1–4 μm [20]. In a study by Liu et al. (2020), SARS-CoV-2 was detected in submicrometer aerosol particles ranging between <0.25 and 1 μm in diameter via a droplet-digital-PCR-based detection method [21]. In a study by Liu et al. (2020), the maximum SARS-CoV-2 concentrations of 40 and 9 copies per m3 of air were measured in aerosol samples with diameters of 0.25–0.5 μm and 0.5–1.0 μm, respectively [21].

Are those viable virus particles? Because that's what actually matters, not the mere presence of genes. Also, are the smaller droplets as effective at transmission as the larger ones? Scanning the paper, it looks like they get smaller as they desiccate.
Well, T cells help a bit because they generally lessen the time for which you are contagious.
Appropriate natural caverns do exist, but are not common. One of the main differentiating factor between this approach and others is that they drill a man-made borehole rather than depending on finding a pre-existing cavern.

Former engineering manager here. LinkedIn is useful to get “sourced” for jobs. Sourcing refers to recruiters proactively searching for qualified candidates for a given job.

The first place recruiters go to source for positions - especially for those that are harder to fill - is LinkedIn.

So no: you absolutely don’t need to have LinkedIn to get hired if you apply directly. LinkedIn makes it easier for companies to find and contact you.

Anecdotally, my last three jobs in my career have come from LinkedIn outreaches (Skype, Skyscanner, Uber). These were opportunities I would have not come across, as I was not actively looking, but they found me at the right moment. Before I always applied directly.

With all respect for all the work you've done in C++ and D but imo that is a mistake. This is one of the reasons I have a distaste for languages like C# and Ruby and prefer languages like Python and Rust. I've had a hard time following what is happening in other people's Ruby code because of this behavior. Whether items are imported from a module should be left up to the developer and not done on their behalf.

And Rust ints can overflow. It's a tradeoff.

>> Version pinning is a bad practice because it slows deployment of security updates.

> How is that not true for stdlibs?

Because, if without pinning, the package manager always gets the latest available version and installs it for all applications on the system once and for all. When pinning dependencies, system administrators need to wait for every single application to update its pin.
I'm late to the party, but your story feels very familiar, and I likewise assumed that everybody was experiencing the same things as I.

My sincere advice is to approach a qualified medical practitioner for a diagnosis. The irony, of course, is that this is exactly the kind of thing that is overwhelming (or deeply off-putting) to a person with ADHD. To that end, I offer the following advice:

1. Don't make a big deal about it and don't be a perfectionist. Specifically, don't spend too much time researching professionals at this point in the process. Just schedule an appointment with your usual GP and bring up the subject, explaining that you'd like to investigate the possibility that you have adult ADHD, in order to improve your quality of life.

2. Don't get too hung up on meds at this point. Your GP (or subsequent psychiatrist) may conclude that cognitive therapy is sufficient for you. I can personally attest to the surprising efficacy of CBT.

3. Generally speaking, approach this with calm curiosity. Trust that you can back out of anything at any time if you're not comfortable. Ask questions. Express concerns. Make it easy on yourself.

If you want, I'm happy to talk over Zoom/Matrix if you think that would help. I can't give any definitive answers, but I can definitely share my experience and perhaps give you a general sense of what to expect. Feel free to drop me a line if that sounds appealing: louist87 [at] gmail.

If everything has supply chain problems leading to rising prices for long enough that it results in rising wages.. isn't that just inflation?

I've heard this take before, and it's not wrong that a few sectors are driving it, but it's not super relevant imo.

To me, it looks like the rest of your comment, wherein you casually mention constants, theorems, topological homology and other concepts that don't even come to mind for many people who self-identify as being bad at maths (as I do).
It wouldn’t be much like Hong Kong actually. Taiwan has a military and is much more capable of defending itself against a Chinese invasion.
Haha, nice hack!
I fail to understand why Web Scraping isn't almost universally viewed as unethical and a terrible and nasty business practice.

In almost all cases I view Web scraping as people who are trying to build businesses on top of other people's innovation and data. I know this isn't a popular opinion, so change my mind, but at the same time, I'm one of those business owners that fights with Web scraping constantly and my opinion of it is that those that are doing it to my platforms are doing so solely to steal data and build businesses on top of other's hard work.

Or maybe people stopped caring because they realized that it's not a serious issue?
Skimming the inc.com article and the linked ft.com article, they both mention "rarely having to work more than 15 hours per week", but what "work" isn't well defined. I heard someone counter this narrative by saying that the definition of "work" used only included time spent gather food, and doesn't include other chores (eg. cleaning stuff, fixing clothes/shelter, preserving food).
Not necessarily. Those truly in the top 1-5% of their fields will likely have the pick-of-the-litter when it comes to jobs because of word-of-mouth.

Anecdote alert: I joined a small firm in Hamburg, Germany after leaving another startup in the same location. When the new team I had joined was talking about how the company was looking to launch a new product and was in desperate need of a ReactJS dev I showed them something an old friend from the previous job had done and they wanted to offer him the job without even interviewing! The interview that did occur was more or less a formality -- assessing cultural fit and such. He was hired and is happy; I've since moved on but that experience never left me. I kid you not he is one the best ReactJS devs I've ever seen (not that I am in the ecosystem but the things he has built and his knowledge of CSS and JS etc -- he could just a lot done very quickly).
Companies are certainly able to proactively raise salaries based on future inflation expectations, and many do that for CEO salary packages. They just don't do it for workers.
As a lawyer whose primary focus is in web scraping, this article is in many ways misleading and inaccurate. While it is true that the Van Buren case is generally positive for web scraping, the overall legal landscape is still murky. The main battleground for web scraping legal issues is shifting from the CFAA to breach of contract and various state-law issues, including misappropriation, unjust enrichment, and trespass to chattels.

In my opinion, 2021 was a bad year for the law as it relates to web scraping. The Supreme Court remanded hiQ Labs, and many high-profile lower-court cases ended badly for web scrapers. It's a darker shade of gray than it was in 2020. It can be navigated, but it's tricky.

I have been wearing a FFP3 mask for 18 months, which costs $10.

I have washed it 2 times, but it can handle 50 washings.

Apparently it's a much better mask, it has copper in it.

Although I had to replace the tiny metal wire in it since it broke, to make sure it was air tight.
You are already using Firefox. But Firefox needs new users too.
I live in Colombia where N95s are impossible for non-medics to get. But I can very cheaply (like 0.10 USD a piece) mail-order sticky metal pieces that vastly improve the fit of the masks I do use. They last basically until washed. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately, it also shows that neither mask is particularly effective:

"A large study conducted in a New York hospital system after the 2009 outbreak of H1N1, or swine flu, found almost 30 percent of health care workers in emergency departments contracted the disease themselves, Dr. Perl said."

Given that mask-wearing is unlikely to be higher among the general population than among health care workers in emergency departments, it seems unlikely that it will be working any better in the general population.

Anything is better than nothing, I suppose, but add this to the Bangladesh study (that also showed rather meager improvements even for large changes in mask-wearing), and it looks increasingly like this is mostly a just-better-than-placebo.
Maybe we could link to https://hn.algolia.com more often...

But to be fair, HN is not aiming to be a wiki. It's a vivid forum that discusses topics that are relevant to its participants. Looking at the amount of comments and upvotes on this thread, it's clear that a lot of people are willing to help or engage in some way. Also, people often not only discuss the initial topic (or question) but something else that arose from it. As I said, it's a vivid place. And that's for good.
The answer probably depends on the company, I don't remember any company requiring linkedin in their application forms but even if not, it wouldn't hurt to create and account and a rough profile. It would only take like an hour
If I were to join a union it would have to have the following:

1. No protection for incompetent people

2. No seniority based pay or privileges

3. Narrow focus on comp and quality of life

Any of these would be a deal breaker for me. And I just don't see it happening. The people who seem to be into unions are the type of people that can't STFU about politics at the office. And if I hear one word about pronouns instead of a raise, I'm out.
>I haven’t judged my abilities

So you just went off spouting all the blame lied on the 'cult' [or leaders thereof] without even bothering to make the slightest judgement whether you had the ability to say that.

I didn't expect such a stunning admission, but at least we got the truth.
Try JimTCL, it uses SDL2 for "GUI"'s instead of TK, but it's as compatible (at code level, not TCL extensions, Jimsh uses its own ones) as TCL 8.5 so most stuff will work as is.

If you look at the examples, you'll find that writing a Chip8 emulator with JimTCL it's a breeze.

I agree completely with this. There's been a widely-held misconception, brought on by certain programming styles and libraries, that GC implies trashy, fat programs that are wasteful. But in fact, as you point out, programs that are tight about memory allocation, but nevertheless GC'd for a few things here and there, can still run great with little overhead. Allocation discipline is more important than most other considerations, IMHO.

I don't necessarily agree with the lab leak hypothesis but your arguments have some flaws.

Hypothetically a lab worker could have been infected by careless handling of a lab animal rather than a swab. As I'm sure you're aware, viruses can be passaged through transgenic animals as part of gain-of-function research.

There is no reliable evidence that the bat or pangolin species suspected to be the source of zoonotic transmission were sold at the Wuhan Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. They are not usual foods in the local cuisine.
> 2. Research shows takes less time to diffuse than you'd think, and lingers longer than you think. Since spring 2020 research has shown to wait till tomorrow if someone infected was in the space today.

Do you have a citation for this? I would be interested in reading this study.
When it comes to ageism Work From Home certainly helps. All interviews are online and i wear wig during interviews and thankfully my skin is not wrinkled so much.

This is pretty much meaningless.

An N95, in order to be N95, must filter out 95% of 2.5um particles. For larger particles, this is almost certainly an lower bound as well, but for smaller particles manufacturing techniques and tolerances can produce a wide variety of responses.

Since COVID has been detected in aerosolized droplets well under the micron size, as well as much larger particles in the 5-10um range, we really don't have a ton of information on how this translates to infectiousness for particulate sizes. We don't even have a good understanding of the degree to which infections can spread through tear ducts, which none of these masks address in any significant way. And from an epidemiological perspective, I don't think we'll ever find a signal; behavioral differences between regions is a far larger factor than mask type composition in a population.

That said, I think it is intuitively likely that higher filtration and better fitting masks will generally reduce transmission and infection, but I don't think we have an understanding of what those order of magnitudes are. Studies like this seem especially misleading. And some things are somewhat counter-intuitive; like the way that plastic valves actually seem to make things worse for liquid transmission because of their lack of absorbance even as they are more effective at filtering dry particles.
You can't really give a time like that. People with detectable levels of covid might have anywhere between 100 and 10^14 viral copies/cc in fluid samples taken from them depending on their immune system and stage of progression. Infectiousness is probably proportional to that viral load. How much fluid escapes a person into the air also varies by a few orders of magnitude depending on whether they're sitting quietly enjoying a movie all the way to singing loudly.
