It's a familiar pattern at this point: a piece complaining about 'cancel culture' that conveniently elides actually mentioning any of the content that got people 'canceled', while focusing on the impolite responses of the 'cancelers' and implicitly or explicitly arguing that literally anything should be allowed (or, rather, forced to be printed under an organization or government's auspices) as long as it's framed in a polite manner.

I certainly am not. I'm saying the far right have no hope of deplatforming, say, Richard Dawkins. But that's been done successfully by the far left. They are censoring in ways the far right could only dream of. I think they might actually be jealous.

And there's also the fact that the other possibility seems so unlikely: why would you store a sensitive experimental aircraft under a transparent tarp? I can't think of any reason to do so.

An opaque painted tarp seems much more likely.
Interesting. In Sydney i would say not. But this is based on anecdotal observations and as we know we can be bias.
Does this bill meaningfully impact Android users in anyway. Alternative app stores, alternative payments, side loading have all existed for years. The article claims Apple and Google are both opposed to the bill but doesn't really say why.

I can only think of a couple.

Potentially opening up of services like notifications so that apps that don't have play services can get notifications without destroying the users battery.

Disabling or neutering of the awful SDK banking apps and games use to detect root and not run.

They're small but annoying things but hopefully are outcomes from this bill.
>>> Edit 2: If I was to do it again with more time and patience, I would pour in sand. It has about the same thermal properties of concrete, and is way less permanent.

I did something similar when building a fence. The "proper" way to set the posts was in concrete, but I calculated how many bags I'd need, relative to my own strength and patience. Instead, I poured sand in, got it wet, and shook it to make it settle. The fence has held up for almost 20 years. The last few posts I ran out of sand and used dirt. They've held up just fine too.
I said "if we had 100% of the population vaccinated we'd be done" and I meant it.

I didn't mean 90%.

If 5% of the population is susceptible that's enough to overload the hospital system during a wave. It really doesn't take much with this virus.

And Delta's transmissibility really destroyed the destroyed the notion of herd immunity. The correct number should be 100% vaccinated.

And its still 90% unvaccinated people filling up the hospitals, even though you're highly vaccinated.

Once you hit the hospital percentages matching the population percentages then the "natural immunity" enthusiasts will have finally all basically caught it sufficiently to gain immunity the hard way and it'll be done.

The hiding of the data’s distribution always makes me sad.

It is not costly to provide quintile or decile data, yet no one ever does when that is where the meat and pickles are. I assume most of the time, averages (and especially unspecified averages where you do not know if it is mean or median), are used to invoke emotions and land more clicks.

The increase in price of housing is what's driving inflation, not vv imo.

That's like saying "price increases lead to inflation". Which is true but illuminating.

Limitations on housing construction certainly made homes especially valuable as an investment in places like California. But the vast amount of money-created-out-of-thin-air was what sought this reliable investments. The situation you mention is just related to what I describe, it doesn't refute what I describe.

The main thing is that this inflating of money has a number of noxious qualities, the inflation of housing costs just being one of them. Prices are signals for how resources should be allocated and distorted prices result in distorted allocations of resources. For small example, there's a daft and dangerous plane to restart a fricken gold mine in the little tourist next to my town - with all attendant potential for multiple types of pollution and with gold only getting kind of play because it's a fixed asset with a price driven sky-high by the present money creation process.
>I could be misunderstanding the point you are making.

I don't disagree with the broader point that you're making, I'm just pointing out that you're doing what you're critiquing as you critique it. Your first post says that they don't actually say what the data shows, and you go on to suggest that an improper presentation of data can cause people take away the wrong idea.

I'm saying that you choosing not to mention the fact that they do state that fact accurately merely a few sentences later also could cause people to take away the wrong idea.

Professors are getting canceled because one student reacted badly to one thing they said one time. This form of cancel culture needs to be stopped! This form gives every student total power over their teachers, based only on their own subjective feelings, and power like that inevitably corrupts. (It's kind of like how the police have a "Marshall Law bubble" around them at all times; of course they are going to abuse it!)

The other form of cancel culture that needs to be stopped is the taboo against asking uncomfortable questions. If you look around the world looking for admirable governments, do you see a pattern? If so, would you be cancelled for naming it? Is that okay? Are we so committed to egalitarinism that we want to forcefully ignore measuring differences between human populations, or even framing hypotheses that imply a difference?
Not "the" problem, but definitely "a" problem in my opinion. If you're someone like me, in Australia, who always figured he was a left leaning liberal, some of the stuff coming out of CRT sounds right up there with young earth creationism. But creationism has effectively lost the battle against science. I'm therefore more concerned at present with the far left, while keeping an eye on those other crackpots on the right.

> what was ... so appealing or inviting to new users?

Back in the early '90s, if you had an "IBM-compatible personal computer" in your home, it almost certainly was running either DOS or Windows as its operating system. And that was fine for most people, but some of us were enthusiasts, geeks, and nerds. We liked technology. We enjoyed fine-tuning our systems, learning all about them, and programming. And sure, you could tinker some with DOS/Windows, but it was fundamentally a closed system.

For me, the appeal of Slackware (and Linux in general) was that it opened a door to a whole universe of software and source code that was previously inaccessible, as well as the feeling of belonging to a community of like-minded enthusiasts and geeks that loved and worked on it. A free, open-source Unix-like operating system that ran on your PC at home -- how cool was that!? (Spoiler: very!) I'd heard things about how 'powerful' Unix was -- and now I had my very own, and it even came with source code. I was also a believer in the nascent free software movement.

So that's a longwinded way to say yes, all of the above. Community, geeking out over cool new technology, and as a programmer, getting access to a completely open, hackable machine.

Depends whether you are more concerned about vaccination rates, or with punishing people for being antisocial.
I suppose that's possible, but it would at least put the onus on them to begin legal proceedings. I would also argue that they'd be putting their PP relationship at risk by taking such an anti-consumer attitude. Certainly this is something I want to look out for, but so far (knock on wood) it hasn't bitten me.
> Agreed, from this vantage point you couldn’t tell the difference.

I mean, you could, because if it was an opaque tarp rather than “uncovered skeleton” like the article claims, it would have a solid shadow visible somewhere when the sun isn't nearly directly behind the satellite, but the “skeletal” beams would not have a shadow on the ground, because you wouldn't see the ground through the tarp.

But, that's exactly how this looks,

Listen, friend. The vaccine

1) Didn't

2) Can't

3) Will never

Stop Sars-CoV-2. You can vaccinate to 100% and double, triple, quadruple boost everyone. In this Omicron wave, almost everyone I know here in Florida has come down with symptomatic COVID. That includes my wife and kids, the entire families of all my best friends, my coworkers, my boss, my kids' teachers, everyone, and they are ALL VACCINATED to the man. The prior two waves never got within 3 degrees of freedom to me, vaccine or not.

This isn't surprising. COVID doesn't care about our stupid vaccine. It doesn't even know it's there. As far as I know we've never beat a bug like this with a vaccine. Consider that while we sit around and put on the mask and point the finger at the guy next door, the outbreak started in Wuhan, Omicron developed in South Africa, and the next variant is probably starting to incubate in yet another remote location. In fact the entire trajectory of this disaster is basically orthogonal to all of our activities.

The politics of COVID, however, the self-inflicted economic and social damage, are entirely our own doing. I believe this is actually comparable to, if not worse than, the direct effects of the virus itself. And since nothing we have done or can do will prevent the direct damage, I say we should stop inflicting all the secondary damage on ourselves.
Worth noting here that the law is ignored by the NYPD in the outer boroughs but it’s actually pretty much impossible to get a 53’ truck onto Manhattan because there are so few ways onto the island, and the only one of the interstates on which 53’ trailers are legal passes through Manhattan.

And yet here’s a fun fact: it’s actually possible to buy food and necessary items in Manhattan. The NYPD ignores the law but the national chain stores that cover the island do not. It’s actually so easy to make deliveries and pickups that those stores are well stocked and serve residential neighborhoods that are literally some of the densest on earth.

Turns out humans have ways of moving stuff around without 53’ trailers.

> If you don't like the long trailers, you're free to choose to not shop at grocery stores and other places that may be using them. Free market and all

The free market solution would be that stores that want longer containers can pay for private roads that don't have the length limits, and then we'd see whether the benefit to them is worth the costs that they're imposing on everyone else.
Yes, exactly this. Iff there is more than enough free solar (or nuclear) energy, then our goal should be to maximize energy used per capita and minimize energy only for specific activities, because energy is a proxy for utility.
> Truck accidents where the truck plows into another vehicle are relatively rare.

Interesting, in Germany there happen 4 truck accidents on highways every day, every third one of those is a truck driving into the end of a traffic jam [0], in total they apparently cause more deaths than speeding [1].

Not sure why K8s comes into the picture. That is, k8s has no mechanisms pertaining to ebpf or require it. Anything you want to do with ebpf on K8s cluster can be done elsewhere.

Thus the second part's question becomes strange. As anything needs to be done on K8s needing ebpf also requires ebpf outside k8s (there often is replacement, but that does not harm the fact that ebpf can be used in those cases).
>Sales tax is generally only applicable when a good or service of value is being provided. Goodwill/general support/undying appreciation is not normally taxable

What are the usual sales tax requirements for GitHub Sponsors? To my uninformed self, having a normal repo that folks support is along the lines of general support, but a Sponsor repo starts to sound alot like a value provided.
> Those who would also have died vaccinated and those who do so as a consequence of their own choice.

Their choice has a direct effect on society and causes harm to other people. So no it's not as a simple as.

I guess we could deny the unvaccinated medical care in hospitals. Because they take up ressources that would be spent on people with other medical issues. We have an about 70% vaccination rate and 80-90% of hospitalized covid patients are unvaccinated. Meanwhile I know of people that can't get standard procedures done because of covid patients (this wasn't a problem before the pandemic).
The single-level approach is what Recut does too, and it tries to take a guess at a threshold with clustering but it's not always perfect. Maybe a better way to go would be a dynamic noise gate or kalman filtering or something.

Vidbase is looking awesome btw! I bet it's going to be huge. It looks like you've paid an insane amount of attention to the details.
> The fact is, the utility does not know how much money you cost them in a given month and it's impossible to say. Some of your electricity is being generated from a plant planned and built 40+ years ago, long since paid for.

There are generators independent from utilities, yet they figured the pricing out somehow.

So far, the “peaceful” protestors have desecrated the national war monument and the Terry Fox statue, flown multiple Nazi flags and Confederate flags and large numbers of “Fuck Trudeau” signs, stolen food from a soup kitchen, assaulted and threatened reporters, thrown rocks at ambulances, smashed car windows, threatened anyone wearing a mask, defecated on the lawn of a house flying a pride flag, harassed mall workers so badly that they had to close the stores for their safety, blocked paramedics and health care workers from getting to the hospital, intimidated Ottawa residents so badly that many are afraid to leave their homes, and openly threatened to murder the prime minister and overthrow the government on the exact spot Cpl Nathan Cirillo was murdered defending the seat of government from a gunman.

> > It has been proven that a cab-forward design is safer for avoiding accidents directly in front of the vehicles

> Ironic, because back in the 70's when there were more CoE designs driving around in the US, it was generally known through crash tests that CoE cab trucks were a lot less safe than conventional cab trucks in front-end collisions

That's not ironic: safety in collisions from one direction and safety for avoiding collisions from the same direction are very different and often opposed things.

Hi Dave, I just found out about your tool from this post and it looks amazing! I was about to download it to try it out but I'm now hesitant to try (and possibly later purchase) if it's being rewritten in Rust + Electron rather than a native Mac app. I wouldn't want to wake up one day and find a great native app has been replaced by an Electron app after paying $100 for it. Unless you were planning on Electron for Windows and keeping the Mac app native?

I follow "20 + 20 + break" approach. My father used it for 30+ years (professor of physics and CS).

It means 20 minutes of theory, 20 minutes of practice, 10-minute break. It can be 25 + 25 + 5, or something along these lines. I never do more than 25. The bottom line is that people are getting bored after more than 20 minutes of theory.

Good luck!
Go isn't the most efficient language for these sorts of things, but it's also not bad (and Go itself is not really the bottleneck for real-world AWK scripts). That said, GoAWK is useful mainly when you want to use AWK scripts in a Go program (the Benthos stream processor does this: https://www.benthos.dev/docs/components/processors/awk/).

I also did a project recently, creatively called AWKGo, that compiles (a subset of) AWK scripts to Go source code: https://benhoyt.com/writings/awkgo/
