Not necessarily, there have been reports of people being infected via central air units in large building (apartments, condos, etc.).

Albeit, I do not believe it is that common, it's still possible. However, if you isolated in a remote location in the woods miles away from humanity, then perhaps you'd be safe, I suppose.

Alright. I stand corrected. I also went to San Francisco job interviews around 2005 or so and found that. I was turned off by them back then as well.

I'm not a researcher in the field but I'd love to see some study. Let's say measuring for deadline slippage, budget overshot, and retention rate.

The testing groups will be teams that use these tactics almost exclusively and those that use a variety of other methods.

If my assumption that this is a mostly arbitrary attribute is correct, their averages would be nearly the same.

If they produce statistically better results then I'd literally quit my job and go work for one. I'd be happy to be wrong about this but I don't think I am
I didn't realize that COVID-19 has a virus more similar to it than ratg13. When did this change?

> Even if it's fake it doesn't matter and there's no evidence that it is.

That's disingenuous. There's evidence, but you're just ignoring it.

It does matter because it means that COVID-19 is likely created in a lab.

I once had to sign a non-compete that came with paying me my full salary during the noncompete period to do anything but what I was doing. I was great with that. And when I left, they chose not to enforce it anyway, but I felt like that was a fair deal.

The most amazing thing about that context thing is that in VSCode it actually uses your current debugging session as well. For example I have a FHIR resource with a resource_type of "Medication", but its a polymorphic type in Python. Copilot, looking at the other code I wrote and the current paused debugger will actually recommend my next line of code be based on that debug session and recommend:

if type(resource) is Medication:

I think I'm writing 20% of my code these days. I fix up about 30% of the suggestions, unless it's a strip of boilerplate which it almost never gets wrong.

Everything has a unit test in this python codebase so I make sure that it's all correct.
We use Superset and R markdown reports mostly.

It's quite common for us to rely on Snowplow as a source of truth, but use GA for quick exploration. Certain reports in GA are setup so nicely, like "navigation summary" and the more intuitive session definition for marketing. And while Snowplow is real time, there's no effective way to see the same reports as produced by GA.

Don't assume that I'm automatically insensitive because I am a male. I was the person who submitted this article!

I wasn't planning to say anything about my own situation when I posted it, I felt embarrassed to do so, but also compelled when I saw other people with a viewpoint like yours write vicious insensitive comments that I felt compelled to speak up about. (I wound up posting to the main thread because the comment was deleted)

There is nothing hypothetical about this scenario, it is one that I am living. I have stuck with my wife through thick and thin and I am completely dedicated and want to grow old with her. There are members of my extended family (who I love and am proud to know and would hate to be separated as much as I would from my wife) who had the same experience and suffered dramatically.

Men are continuously told that we need to open up emotionally (my mother-in-law felt that way about her otherwise upstanding husband) but we're always wary that it is another cruel trap where we get punished for showing emotions.

I'm not referencing the study, I'm talking about the comment that I'm replying to. The study is specifically about the acid versions of the compounds which are not psychoactive

CBDA, THCA, and CBGA are all the carboxylic acid forms of the compound which is what is naturally produced by the cannabis plant. When we consume these, we make them psychoactive by heating. This turns them into CBD, THC, and CBG which are different compounds

The non acids interact with proteins differently than the carboxylic acids. I'm saying that the people who say that they got stoned and this prevented COVID is highly unlikely and not at all related the the posted study at hand.

Again: you don't get stoned off the compounds that were used in this COVID study. Full stop.

This isn't even mentioning the fact that the concentrations of the carboxylic acid compounds used in the study are multiple orders of magnitude larger than what you can accomplish through smoking (micro vs nano-molar)

It's also visible in the process table (ps auxww). It can be erased by rewriting the arguments from inside the process (I think this is OS-specific, not the same as changing argv in-place), but that is a race condition.

The safe way is to either read it from stdin/fd (maybe call isatty(3) to check if someone doesn't echo password | ./foo), or open a file (check if permissions are 600). You could also have a named socket (check permissions!) talking to an authn agent, which could be doing some other fancy stuff like pinging your smartwatch to confirm, etc.
That question was in response to the statement "Right now it seems like mass vaccination is our only way out of this pandemic and back to normal". My response is explaining to the questioner why that statement was correct.
See also "green cheese". "Green" has metaphorically meant "fresh, new, immature" in English for a long time. I don't think that quote is claiming that it _came from_ "green = n00b" but that it shares the same source.
Personally I've always felt both the Dark Matter hypothesis and MOND are dead wrong, and that everyone is in the muck messing around with these as though one or the other are the only possible explanations. Dark Matter has not remotely been proven, not even in the remotest sense, and yet it is a fixture in the paradigm of modern cosmology. It's as messed up as when the luminiferous ether was held similarly as incontrovertible science... also without a shred of proof.

When someone actually detects Dark Matter is when I will give that hypothesis any attention, while MOND is equally unpersuasive. Solving the "missing matter" problem is going to happen, and it's either going to be an adjustment of the data (or more precise or better measurements), or it'll be that we just didn't have the whole picture, and once we do, it's going to be a "duh" moment (which I suspect is going to be that there was never any missing matter, and everything and the kitchen sink thrown in that Dark Matter is invented to explain will be explained without the need for Dark Matter).

Hardly is more than enough courtesy considering US officials was pushing lab leak. WHO is also at the mercy of US funding and pressure that entails. Including entertaining US initiated lab leak propaganda which is more effective and well funded than what PRC is capable of. And of course PRC gets to dictate access and terms, it has sovereignty.

>How is it just a valid? The virus was discovered in Wuhan, not near Fort Detrick.

The virus was _identified_ in Wuhan, does not mean originate there. PRC lab leak conspiracy is Fort Detrick leak + Wuhan military game spread. Again, it's PRC conspiracy but holds equivalent validity in terms of discourse power if CCP wants to exploit to it counter pressure WHO to access Detrick for investigation.

>China denied the outbreak

No PRC notified WHO of novel corona virus a few weeks after first cluster was discovered. It was praised as extremely expedient at the time.

> keep international flights open

Because it's expatriation flights. PRC is not going to lock foreign nationals in China, countries have right to recall their citizens. And inbound flights had actual competent quarantine setup, ergo PRC could maintain covid0 whereas most places that did security theatre temperature checks could not.

> That's either incompetence or suppression/censorship or both, but it in no way evidence of ability to identify early or respond quickly and effectively.

Identifying within weeks and responding with some incompetence/censorship/corruption is still overwhelmingly better than what most developed countries did with multi months heads up after Hubei lockdown. Despite how they topped the pandemic response index. Incompetence is relative and the fact is, places with high interconnectivity with PRC like Korea, Japan, TW, Singapore, Australia etc all managed to suppress covid pre omicron based on info provided by PRC and competent epidemiological interventions. And their import case statistics show PRC never exported that much covid cases post Hubei lockdown. It was completely manageable, whereas most of their import cases came from EU/NA.

Point is, lab leak could very well be true, but there's plenty of datapoints for history to be rewritten in PRC favor once/if geopolitics cool down, ergo it's in PRC interests to wait. At then end of the day, covid origin is going to be determined more by propaganda, less science.
Every time I rewatch that episode it reminds me about when smart phones and social media first swept through, turning people into zombies staring at their phone screens and barely interacting with people physically around them.
The real question is why do we keep doing this type of interview even though it seems everyone knows this is a problem?
I suppose you're right. My comment was hyperbole.

The point I'm trying to make, which is not hyperbole, is that there are lots of people who basically rely on the police to keep the peace. If someone comes into the store where they work and starts pissing on the ground, or acting aggressively, or breaking things, or threatening people, they call the police.

These kind of interactions are common. They aren't visible to people (like me) whose only interactions with the police is occasionally reporting property crimes.
The Network Effects of Bitcoin
Cost is the primary reason I dropped out of college, with not knowing what I wanted to do with my life being the secondary reason.

It was about 15 years ago, I was 19. At the time, I was attending community college because I had no idea what I wanted to major in, or what I wanted to do with my life as far as careers go, but I had so much societal pressure telling me that I had to go to college in order to be successful. I'd tried steering myself towards a few subjects that were hobbies/passions of mine, but every time I dipped my toes into doing something with them professionally, I quickly became concerned about money/profit/work/bosses bastardizing my love for them and opted to keep them as hobbies/passions. 15 years later, I am still enamored by some of those same hobbies and am happy I kept them as such.

While the "goal" was to transfer to a university from the community college, I consistently found myself thinking, "I'm seeing a ton of my friends, and people who graduated HS a few years before me, taking out these massive loans. Why am I going to go into debt if I don't even know what I want to do?". It just made no sense to me, so I stopped. I've been incredibly lucky that I found a career path in an area that I'm good at, and have risen to a level in my career that I'm happy with, but I absolutely did have to work really hard to get here.

All that is to say, not only do I think we put far too much pressure on people to know what they want to do when they're still too young to truly have that figured out, but I also completely agree with you that cost is the primary concern here. If I didn't have to go into so much debt in order to have continued my college education, I have a feeling I would've opted to keep at it and figure out what I wanted to do along the way.
Really?

First rule of asking about why somebody left a job is that people tend to first make the decision and then rationalise it. They will tell a lot of interesting stories about toxic culture and whatnot where in fact the reason might be they wanted to get a raise but their boss did not think they deserved it. It would be interesting to see how many people actually admitted it.

And reality is that most people that recently changed jobs of their own volition did this to a) keep working remotely and b) get better salary. Because they f-n can.

Especially in software development I have seen drastic increase in salaries. You see the offers increase practically daily. What I thought was a very good salary, in the span of less than a year became bottom of the bottom of the ranges I am receiving.

Most of companies are absolutely unwilling to increase salary for their employees. This is f-n stupid because people will find out at some point that their new colleagues with fraction of their experience have been hired for 2 or 3 times their salary.

It has already been a standard that it is easier to get a better salary by changing jobs rather than trying to beg your company to move it by more than inflation. Now that people have gotten used to it they stopped feeling any remorse about it and actually expect to leave the company in a year or two when they can get better salary. Why beg your boss when you are almost certain you can earn more with your two additional years of experience?

It is now socially acceptable to quit your job after a year or two and a lot of people no longer even considers actually trying to do a better job because their plan is to just change it. Why work your ass off when you are guaranteed a raise anyway? Hence the rise of "performative work" that has been described here some time ago. https://www.economist.com/business/2022/01/08/the-rise-of-pe...
Nope, one million is 10k a year per employee. That’s low even in Poland and definitely well, well below Polish IT, and Europe in general makes a fraction of SV salaries.

Those numbers are a bad match.
That's definitely not the optical-flow slowdown trick I'm talking about. That spiderman slow-motion was some combination of 3d effects and maybe real-life cameras ("Matrix" style: https://beforesandafters.com/2021/07/15/vfx-artifacts-the-bu...)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCfdyroV7kc

This scene from 300 is very clearly just a wide-angle shot (initially), with someone playing with the Optical Flow timewarp effect (sliding it up and down). Its incredibly cheap.

See this demo in Premier Pro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErOc_LkZaIk

----------

That's the thing. 300's main innovation was using _cheap_ effects. Optical flow time-warp didn't appear on Premier for another few years, but the algorithm was popular and was just a custom filter / program that was getting passed around at that time.
Thank you for taking the time to answer. My goal is better health and mood. I have a habit of eating whatever comes to mind without thinking too much about it. I want to make sure that my diet is well balanced, right for my body, and healthy in the long term. I guess weight loss might come as a consequence, but it's not my main focus for now.
Yeah, I suppose that they are testing new algorithms there..
Is it even remotely stable yet?

Iirc it was all hanging off of a single process sometime back so if a single dock item died basically it hosed your entire desktop. I managed to get it started once or twice, as I was a huge fan of e16 but it just seemed… unusable really.
i always disliked gnome 3 because of the user interface (it seemed to be an amalgamation of all the bad things from os x or even macos), not because of the underlying language it's coded in.
No. It is a grammar error. I think they got that sentence mixed up with the one after it, which happens during editing sometimes.
I don't understand why do we need to have leap seconds. Even if time on Earth moves few minutes back, nobody would notice but astronomers. If time moves one hour back, just change your local zone offset, it happens all the time anyway, and that's about it.

It makes time calculations unreasonably complex without any benefit.
IANAL, but it seems to me that there would be a strong ADA/accessibility defense for youtube-dl as a user agent.

The other major defense is that it’s a tool with significant lawful use.

Many digital tools can be used to infringe. It’s only a problem for the tool maker if the tool’s primary purpose is circumventing copyright.
100% of women who have taken the Parisian subway have been sexually harassed at least once a year.
72% while walking in Lausanne.
Sexual harassment is rampant but we teach kids to not snitch or bring problems to their parents/teachers. Same in ocmpanies, so as far as I am concerned, 5% seems to be fairly low.
Sounds like a really good way to end up embroiled in another pointless war which ruins yet another country

1. Hmm, feel free to propose a cross-platform solution :)
2. Nice.
Isn't it the case that you can order from some of the more popular OEMs with Linux pre-installed, and they won't charge you the Microsoft licensing fee? I think Dell and Lenovo do this?

Maybe they do charge the Microsoft fee anyway, but I'd be a bit surprised if they didn't fix that issue.
>the result is the same as if it did
This isn't quite true. Differently ordered operations can lead to different results due to floating point math, but in general, the point of multiple dispatch isn't to produce different results for different types. The example from Stefan's talk does this when contrasting with operator overloading because it's easier to show a difference in results than a difference in performance.

I don't know the specifics of how Matlab/Octave do this, but you're probably right about runtime checks.

It's true that compilation time will make Julia slower than Octave for a single multiplication, but if you are doing a bunch of them (especially if they are small), Julia can perform the computations with much lower overhead since it doesn't have to do type checks for stable programs. Also, Julia lets you define specialized matrix types which can be asymptotically faster than Octave for specific circumstances. A great example of this is BandedBlockBandedMatrix from https://github.com/JuliaMatrices/BlockBandedMatrices.jl which are extremely useful solving of PDEs quickly, but aren't implemented in any of the other languages because they have to write all their dispatch systems manually for each algorithm.
Gotta keep up with the latest Apple designs! :)
Ask HN: Why Doesn't Zoom?
Every day I see a human in pain trying to end a zoom meeting. "We'll, let's wrap this up. Thanks everyone. See you. Thanks. Bye. Bye-bye." And then finally a disconnect. It's Awkward with a capital A.

As the host, I should be able to click a "Que ending music" button and a selected track (probably Going Home by Kenny G) starts off at volume 1 and slowly increases. The video slowly dims. A big stop watch showing a 60 second countdown starts...
I’m curious - can you use the valve knuckles and base station while using a g2 headset? All the g2 complaints seem to be about the controllers tracking, not the g2 tracking for the headset position/angle/… itself. I already have a Vive but the fuzziness really is getting to me.

I really think the lack of graphic/positional/… representation of keyboard/mouse/Hotas is a big issue for VR. Valve base station tracking point receivers are cheap, it seems like someone would have made at least a keyboard with them, or come up with a way to attach the vibe tracker in a not super janky way.
The best people in any field make the most money in general, and it takes a lot of experience and work along with intelligence and natural ability to be among that group.
>I started getting uncomfortable comments in person around age 11.

Agreed with this, I (woman) started getting regularly cat-called on the street every time I left my house around 12-13.

I was a young looking child to boot.
> Still, dark matter as a theory, or at least as the name of a theory,

Your point is well-taken, but I have to be pedantic here (and everyone loves to make this mistake, so don't worry about it). Dark Matter is not a theory,, not like the General Theory of Relativity is a theory. Dark Matter is a hypothesis.
You couldn't pay 100 people minimum wage many places in Europe on that amount.
