I'm not convinced the issue is patents. It might just be that eInk is great for a few nice applications, so there just isn't that much demand.
I tried one of those, but you can only use them with left or right hand and the wheel still aggravates my wrist. Swapping from left to right seems better. I also add in a little weight training and I don't have any problems.
Maybe. But maybe it offers some value that is not found in the classical systems and for many people that's good enough.

Also don't forget that if it happens that BTC replaces the government controlled currencies as some pundits claim, there won't be pump and dumps etc. No one pumps and dumps USD in the USA but they do it in other countries.

A quick example is Turkey where the USD gained against the Turkish lira a lot and lost over %30 value overnight but USD is still good.

Signal is also shitty in the sense that it announces your presence to anyone that is using the service prior to you and has your number.

I try to avoid circular references in C++ as well, at all cost, in my physics engines and game engines. For example, there is a unidirectional access from World -> Object -> Contact Point -> Vector3 and never the other way around (Vector3 doesn't know about Point, Object or World).

Would Rust allow to have all data in 'structs' (no private data), and make all logic pure functional (functions without side effects, data in, data out)? That way, you won't need circular references or stateful objects and it simplifies memory management.
>economically, there's more threat from crypto than BRICs to the current order

I am blown away by this belief of yours. Crypto is basically a scam.
Yes, while the deprecated version is still on the Google Play store. If you were using a chromebook, you would be getting the same deprecated version. There is a way to sideload the F-droid version without going developer mode or compromising ChromeOS' security but it depends on crostini support.

If your chromebook supports crostini though, installing F-Droid/Termux would be quite moot.

I'm just gonna say that as someone typing 120+wpm for years now, I hate to see high actuation force vilified like this. It's my preference and I quite enjoy the higher force needed. Fewer accidental presses, and you can even lightly drum on your keys without them activating, which is fun and relaxing.

I went from cherry mx blues to cherry mx greens to kailh box navies and I love them to pieces.

I find that the people who swear by very light linear switches rarely type as fast as me, take that as you will. I think they fell down a strange rabbit hole.
Yes, of course we could get a better vaccine. But I feel like you're overlooking the fact that these vaccines are far more effective than most. The flu vaccine is one example of a vaccine that is not sterilizing, but IIRC a majority of vaccines do not prevent 100% of infections, despite reducing disease severity.

As far as having to stay home, I'd stay home if I had the flu too. It's just courtesy.

Get good at setting expectations and being firm about them. Managers LOVE to bully people into deadlines.

Also get good at not getting mad about it! If your work is truly meaningless and/or performative, then the deadline has no real power. Its just social pressure… but tread carefully as it can also put a target on your back and put you in the unemployment line!

Prednisone is on the WHO's list of essential medicines. It a vital drug for, among other things, cases where immune activity needs to be modified. The fact that it can be dangerous when misused is not in any way evidence that it should never be used.

Put simply, your stance is anti-science. I hope that you will reconsider it. Whether or not you do, I hope that no one reading your comment puts any weight on your opinion, which is not grounded in fact or knowledge.

Your comment serves to make a point for strong and stable fiat like USD, not for Bitcoin which also just lost around 40% of its value in a month.
Nope. Why do you need to read an email well if you are a coding ninja and why do you need to program for incident response or forensics (scripting powershell/python helps a lot though). A lot of people think in terms of finishing projects or meeting metrics which they would not be if they were thinking like attackers
> Actually, no. This is exactly the level of heavy handed, indiscriminate beaurocratic/government control that poorer people have always had to deal with - see for example how large scale city planning has tended to distribute its most disruptive consequences among the poorest neighbourhoods, or how public health systems have judged most harshly and intruded most forcefully into the lives of the poorest.

Once again: kind, not degree. Short of wartime mobilization, there just aren't examples of bureaucrats ordering wrenching economic changes on this scale.

Yes, but logically sound arguments backed by available evidence tend to lead to wrong conclusions less frequently than other strategies.
> why is everyone calling it MicroX

Probably because "micro" means "small" in Greek, and the whole Kubernetes uses Greek.

> There can be only one Micro. https://micro.dev

I have done this before, a bare bones example can be done easily in Lambda with GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick for node https://www.npmjs.com/package/gm see "annotate an image" example.

I understand your service does more that this. I map the POST JSON to GM params to allow the caller to do nearly anything GM CLI can do.
That's not "devil's advocate", that's just an example of the meaning of "difficult to balance".

There's this idea in the tech crowd that laws governing circumstances that aren't quantifiable or boolean with zero doubt or error are either entirely impossible or tantamount to just anything-goes subjectivity of judges.

But the entire purpose of a system of laws and the courts is to match the ambiguity of the rules to the complexity of life.

Because, as it turns out, it's the cases that can be captured by a fixed set of algorithms that are almost non-existent. Which is sort-of the problem "smart contracts" ran into, and that motivated them to create the useless simulation of real-world ownership that is NFTs.

I have to say it lacks the immediate clarity of the original. I found both the layout and what happens with the keyboard under the game boards confusing. Also, please explain what the rules are :-)
Here's the beginning of the entry for 'box' in the 1991 book "The New Hacker's dictionary at https://archive.org/details/newhackersdictio00raym/page/76/m... :

> box n. 1. A computer; esp. in the construction foo box where foo is some functional qualifier, like 'graphics', or the name of an OS (thus, UNIX box, MS-DOS box, etc.) "We preprocess the data on UNIX boxes before handing it up to the mainframe."

(It is not in the 1983 book "The Hacker's dictionary : a guide to the world of computer wizards".)
I understood it as "(standard placebo) rate", not "standard (placebo rate)". That is:

"standard placebo" (tablets) << "new placebo format" (injection with no active components) < "real drug" (injection).
Canada carbon tax is interesting because it’s meant to be almost a zero-sum game. They take the money and you get it back in your tax refund. So it is more about pricing externality and ensure we slowly switch to better alternatives without disproportionately taxing us.
I just wonder why even we need the government like this. Now the government can not fulfill the basic function like prevent looting, gun shot and other basic criminal things. If people can not feel safe at the daily basis about their property and life, government have no need existed.
So, the. followers" enter a do-loop because they somehow got sepearated from the leading foraging group. To me, the interesting question is - how are foraging leaders differentiated from the followers. Seems like the former would have a much more complex set of rules to follow to explore and navigate the uncertaintaies of the world ahead of them.
It is absolutely the layout, but ergonomic keyboards are still great. I built a Pinky4 split keyboard and it didn't solve pain in my right hand caused by Dvorak. After learning Workman (50/50 balanced hand usage unlike any other layout I know of), the pain is gone.

The split helps by moving stuff like modifiers, space, and backspace to thumb keys, it just wasn't "enough" on its own.
Can this be generalized as what happens when a feedback loop finds a local maxima? We see these all over, in software and society.

What makes this particular phenomena fascinating to me, is that it can be right under our nose, going on around us (because the circles can be big), and we don't realize it. Our regularly observed behavior and model of ants isn't this, and when we see one wandering, we don't realize there might be a bigger thing going on. And then we zoom out and there's this "aha" reveal moment, where we discover a model other than what we thought was going on.
You can also `import Html.Attributes as Attr` and do `Attr.style "foo" "bar"`, or `import Html.Attributes exposing (style)` and do `style "foo" "bar"`.

Or, you know, since it's a composable ML-style functional language, you can grab a package like elm-css[0] and do:

makeRectangle answer =
div
[ css
[ width (px 140)
, height (px 100)
, marginTop (px 10)
, paddingTop (px 5)
, paddingLeft (px 5)
, backgroundColor (getColor (Tuple.second answer))
, border3 (px 5) solid black
]
]
[
...
]

...which gives you full compile-time type-checked styles with a no-crash guarantee. Can Clojure Spec give you the same in your example above?

Incidentally, it's also less noisy than the equivalent block of Clojure code. Elm isn't perfect, and definitely gets verbose at points, but if you're going to criticize, make an informed comparison.

Do you not think that if the ratio of people to properties remained the same, but interest rates declined, then prices might also go up?

I don't think that a supply shortage gets to the crux of this problem. I think a more significant factor is availability of credit.

It's worth considering that a credit fueled speculative boom creates excessive demand.

Uh oh, do we need to be careful of posts going 'viral' again? :)

The last time I used Outlook express on Win XP were the glory days of attachment and automatic preview worm emails.

I didn't mention Zig because as far as I know there's no Safe Zig subset, nor are there plans to develop one. Zig itself is an unsafe language. [0][1]

That's the nice thing about Safe Rust, it's a proper safe language akin to Java and JavaScript, while retaining high performance, plain old ahead-of-time compilation, and no garbage collector. Zig isn't playing the same game.

Covid-19 vaccines and treatments: we must have raw data, now.

The BMJ supports vaccination policies based on sound evidence. As the global vaccine rollout continues, it cannot be justifiable or in the best interests of patients and the public that we are left to just trust “in the system,” with the distant hope that the underlying data may become available for independent scrutiny at some point in the future. The same applies to treatments for covid-19. Transparency is the key to building trust and an important route to answering people’s legitimate questions about the efficacy and safety of vaccines and treatments and the clinical and public health policies established for their use.

Pharmaceutical companies are reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims. The purpose of regulators is not to dance to the tune of rich global corporations and enrich them further; it is to protect the health of their populations. We need complete data transparency for all studies, we need it in the public interest, and we need it now.
Pred is a pretty amazing drug, it has helped my kid through an allergic reaction and my pets survive years past when they would've otherwise expired.

Maybe I failed to communicate the point. I believe noticing smoke (from an actual fire) is the reason you can’t smoke (a cigarette) on a flight.

The same reason makes it dangerous to filter out smoke. You smell the smoke ASAP, you have a chance of emergency landing; you have a super advanced system that takes smoke out and feeds oxygen in… well, good luck with an actual cargo fire.
> what the hell did they think was going to happen?

That the government would help them enforce their exceptional control over their employees, at least to the extent of making their lives hard enough in the short term that they would either have no choice but to return, or would serve as an example of what happens to anyone who thinks to leave in the future. So far, they seem to have thought right.
It’s not just no bail. It’s no consequence. Criminals don’t get charged or sentenced or fined by city prosecutors. If they do, the consequences amount to a weak slap on the wrist at best. One of the big practical reasons is that George Soros and the nonprofits he funds have financially backed many extremist leftist/progressive district attorneys who practice “restorative justice” (https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-prosecutor-ca...), which is a totally simplistic approach where the lack of consequences is thought to lead to less crime and recidivism. The outcomes of such policies are very predictable and it is why LA, SF, Seattle, etc have experienced a massive amount of crime, blight, and deterioration in the last 5-10 years.

The whole situation is very upsetting because previously safe and beautiful cities have been turned into dangerous slums. And during COVID, the fact that large quantities of PPE and test kits and so on have been stolen from these trains and just discarded on the tracks (not valuable / sellable) is incredibly harmful to the public on a whole other level.
If people buy and wear the clothing it is, by definition, wanted by them.
If it were obviously falsified by evidence a random fact that reasonably well-educated but non-specialist knows off the top of their head, it wouldn’t be a controversy and hardly of note.

Scholars have written scores of papers and spilled gallons of ink on both sides of the topic. What do you know that they don’t?

I think the theory is wrong, or at least incomplete, but the evidence against isn’t as clear as all that.
The same could be said of antibiotics. However, before Ehrlich & Pasteur, there were no large scale use or even specific awareness of the concept (i.e. some cultures had folk medicinal remedies that involved antibiotics but the mechanism and specific compounds were not understood).

So until the 1880s, there was no commercial exploitation of these compounds, yet they nevertheless existed either in actuality or potential. Once there was an understanding of the principles and the development of some related chemical and biochemical processing, this exploded and had a dramatic impact on human life.

If someone postulated in, say, 1785, the idea that perhaps there were specific compounds that could be used to cure infection, and these could be produced en masse, would it not be analogous to respond that since nobody is commercially exploiting (at the time), they clearly do not exist?

You make it sound like this is somehow a unique property Bitcoin. In truth, every asset and even medium of exchange can and has been manipulated for gain.

JP Morgan spoofed the precious metals market and got caught.

In the medium of exchange category, the forex market has been manipulated for decades.

You are more at risk of volatility and manipulation in crypto markets because they are immature. Bitcoin is still in the discovery stage.
You're not going to dox yourself with compensation bands or something more specific than 400-1500. There are way too many people like that, and comp is not very public info.

Are you working in Europe as part of an old tech / non-tech company and the most you've ever made is $300k/yr or are you actually competing on the same level as big tech companies compensation wise where director+ who manages 300-500 makes $+1m/yr?

There are highly paid small places that are not FANG that still pay FANG or better, but they have really high standards. I want to know if your one of those, or one of those who as part of an ego protection cope say FANG is bad.

Now if you were a startup manager, yeah I can get why you might want to avoid FANG because you don't want people with big company habits in your small company that is trying to go fast, but usually those people say that out right, and they also tend to explicitly hire FANG types to scale their engineering org after a certain scale, because startup style stops working after your engineering org gets to a certain size.
All I can say is, the more I gain life experience, the less judgmental I get of other people and the less I believe in the concept of "good" people and "bad" people.

Everyone has good and bad in them, it's just the context you're interacting in and your own predispositions that brings out one or the other.
