interesting guess, but it can only be part of the story if its true at all. a lot of those people are Joe's best friends that would more likely go down in flames than abandon him (ari, bert, tom, bill).

a more likely angle is some intermediary like publishers or managers are making decisions through contracts or deals.
Krita is closer to a Photoshop competitor than Illustrator. Inkscape is like Illustrator but honestly it is not very good, mostly due to seriously poor performance.

I don't know if Atril is a good Acrobat Reader replacement either. Does it support PDF forms and annotation? That's what most PDF readers are missing.

Apple's preview is pretty great from that point of view. I've also used Xournal++ for that in the past.
I disagree. No matter the circumstances, the government should not be levelling penalties against a person unless that person has 1) committed a crime and 2) the no-fly penalty is defined by legal statute and sentenced by a judge with all the constitutional protections that entails. Not by a private corporation and its employees.

In this case, it seems like only #1 is fulfilled, or at least I'm not aware of any law that has no-fly as a penalty. I know, there's the normal no-fly list but I already don't understand how that passes constitutional muster as a penalty via administrative rather than criminal/legal processes.
How do the chips not have clocks?
I really like the design of the chips only communicating with neighbors.

I love GreenArray and everything about Chuck Moore and associates. I definitely think it can be taken too far though, FORTH could use some modernization. I'm making a language in it's spirit and also trying to think what a custom hardware solution would be GitHub.com/civboot/fngi.
> The idea that "the body keeps it around" just completely flies in the face of reality. The fact is, the body doesn't really have a way of preventing it from staying there.

This is a difference in semantics, not reality. The body also doesn't have a way of spontaneously ejecting the appendix. I would describe this as the body being happy to let it stay there. Of course, sometimes the body becomes unhappy with the existence of the appendix. I think the interesting question is why this happens and the proper treatment is to remove or mitigate these triggers. This is harder than removing the appendix.

We thought there were no serious consequences of antibiotics for a century. We were wrong. As someone living with autoimmune disease, I can assure you that we continue to misunderstand these diseases. I wish I could be so confident that we would never be wrong about anything else ever again. A few days ago there was an article where a virus was used to fight a bacterial infection [1]. How can you earnestly say it's impossible that any virus that makes its home in the immune system could play a role in the immune response? Proving negatives is really hard. Maybe if I saw a 10000 studies that showed no correlation for a wide range of different infections I could be convinced, but our system doesn't encourage publication of negative results so I'm not holding my breath. How many have you seen?

The problem with statistical medical studies is that in general samples are non-random (as you note in another comment) and cannot easily control for any of the 1M (lower bound) confounding variables. Our current methods here are mainly good for p-hacking publications, not uncovering causal relationships or complex effects. This is a discussion for somewhere else though probably.

Why is the acronym more important than what is said in the first sentence on the landing page:

FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.
anything similar for Mac OS?
Because corps are trying to lower the salaries for software engineers. One may think it's all about lowering the barriers so anyone can be an engineer but it's all about increasing the labor pool and lowering the salaries. Clocks ticking.
You can block anything with uBlock, so, yes. Learn how to use the picker tool (looks like an eyedropper.)
> most Daesh are motivated by the desperation of being a religious minority associated with a deposed dictator in a resource-constrained desert infected with religious fanaticism.

Eh, not really. They are pretty much all a religious majority in the regions they controlled and moreover Syria is pretty predominately Sunni.
Yeah, that's fair. Certainly in terms of debates about specific issues, picking a side amounts to "joining a team". What I was trying to refer to by "not being on a team" was more along the lines that I am not a Democratic or Republican ideologue or spin doctor, I will vote based on the issues rather than blind adherence to a specific party. I suppose a better phrasing would be that I am on a "side" of the debate but I am not on a specific "team" in terms of national party politics.
I just went through most of the process of subscribing. The Twitter feed seems to be missing a screen that I was presented with. The screen includes 3 cards to select from. One is monthly at a price of $79.49/mo and has a clear note that you can cancel anytime with no fee. One is annual billed monthly at $52.99/mo with a note that fees will apply if I cancel after Feb. 26th. The 3rd is annual billed upfront at $599.88/yr and a note that there are no refunds if I cancel after Feb. 26th. It seems pretty clear to me and I wonder the motivation was in not including this screen from the sign up process.
> What's so hard to understand about that?

It’s anticompetitive, and so folks are legislating against it. What’s so hard to understand about that?
I wonder what they plan to do with our data? I found this:

- Francisco Partners is a leading global investment firm that specializes in partnering with technology and technology-enabled businesses.

- FP's current and past investments include such companies as BeyondTrust, ClickSoftware, GoodRx, Ichor Systems, iconectiv, LegalZoom, Quest and Verifone.

and from the article:

- Francisco Partners had previously purchased stakes in the telemedicine and drug coupon company GoodRx, the virtual appointment booking company ZocDoc, and Edifecs, a company that builds software to enable a more seamless exchange of data.

- The firm declined to comment on the acquisition or its plans for the MarketScan database.
With MSYS2 installed on your Windows cloud instance, in a Bash shell for e.g. its UCRT64 environment, you could use pacman to get your dev setup in place:

pacman -S base-devel git mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-rust

Other build tools like cmake, etc. are also readily available via pacman. I've found this approach helps make developing on Windows a lot more like I want, i.e. more like my experiences on Linux and macOS.

Whether the "-toolchain" package in the install-list above (gcc and friends) is suitable for your needs, I'm not sure, though note that the "-rust" package brings in llvm automatically, so your bases are probably covered unless you have a strict requirement to use Microsoft's toolchain.
I think the term "effectively stable" is what is meant in this context.
We should take at their word that it's stunningly obvious at this point that deaths from covid are vastly greater than deaths from myocarditis.

So you do the thing that saves your own life, and incidentally helps everyone else, and then you can split all the hairs you want about the pharmaceutical testing in which you are suddenly an expert. Meantime I've got zero fucks to give for distraction tactics.

As German taxpayer, investor and energy consumer I care a lot where my money go and you should not tell me what is my business.
You are 100% right. We developers need to wise up before it's too late. I don't see doctors advocating to lower the barriers of entry.
Even better: instead of desperately patching Microsoft's crap, move to an OS that won't remove features and where you could write your own features if you wanted to.

Read Leslie Lamport's Specifying Systems (2003),¹ study the example modules, study others' modules online, and write your own. It's a really good way to bug test your program's logic before you choose the language to code it in. It's not easy to learn, but you can build functional prototypes fast once you learn it. A gentle introduction is Scott Wlaschin's 2020 YouTube video "Building confidence in concurrent code using a model checker".²

how does git bash

versus

msys2?

E.g., with msys2 i can install sshd so that I can use a windows vm as a gitlab runner. I can also use pacman to install build deps.

Can i with git bash?
Wifi 6E is just the same as regular Wifi 6 but with way more frequencies available. Would you be able to set up one AP and one client device with 6E on an unused channel?
While neutrons do decay in the standard model (half life on the order of 10 minutes, observed), protons do not decay in the standard model, nor has proton decay ever been observed -- and folks have looked.
> It's interesting how illusionists and eliminativists explain away aspects of SE by invoking (other) aspects of SE. "You merely have an illusion of being conscious" - that illusion is the hard problem, so now explain that illusion.

I've explained this elsewhere, but will repeat here: this argument relies on a definition of "illusion" that begs the question on the existence of a subject, just like Descartes. Define illusion as "a perception that directly entails a false conclusion", and there is no subject needed, and no hard problem remains.

It's like you're asking me to explain the dinosaur you saw while you were hallucinating. Sure, I agree we should explore the biochemistry and neurology involved in dream-like states that yield distorted perceptions that imply false conclusions about reality. Let's not go so far as to posit that those distorted perceptions are real if there's no corroborating evidence of their existence.
I think it is, at least to some extent. The younger you are, the more likely you'll be the ones dealing with the effects of climate change, and car-dominance is a big part of that. It's pretty top-of-mind for a lot of us.
> This is madness.

Pretty sure the article is tongue-in-cheek satire.

> There's no real advice about rewrites in this article.

The actual advice is in the top image which goes:

- Todo: Add critical customer request, fix bugs, new features

- In progress: Rewrite everything
Idk why there is a S in There at all. A lot of the science careers pay pathetic wages for the level of education required. “Business” is probably better bang for the Buck. Hard science majors have a really hard road ahead of them.
One way to cancel is to chat with them and say that you now have an enterprise subscription via your company. They cancel without fee in that case.

> At Bell Labs as System V lead he, with Bill Joy of SUN, co-authored the original SVR4 specification that later led to POSIX and clean-room UNIX everywhere, eliminating all other UNIX variants save linux. At NeXT, his Objective-C @protocol "interfaces" and memory management and base class meta architecture and base classes (runtime and NXLock deployed into the kernel even), transformed NeXT. Sources sold to Sun, reduced, they became Java to such a 1:1 degree that his JavaBridge hybrid object, ObjC on the bottom, Java on top, enabled NeXT to deploy a business sophisticated database backed WebObjects in 1996 and was successful enough to file S3 papers to go public. Apple bought NeXT instead. At Apple, as co-architect of MacOS/Cocoa, for example heintroduced Closures (MacOS 10.6 Snowleopart) and Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) that empowered App explosion. Blaine is the reason Mac/iOS apps don't pause.
As a fedex driver I always dreaded delivering those. Not because of the possibility of unfortunate outcomes such as yours (never crossed my mind), but because I knew they were unsolicited "gifts" that came from big data schemes like this. Just like how marketing companies know that you're pregnant even before you do.
Yes, about 15 years ago, I went from being on PIP at Yahoo to being nominated for a Super Star award. There’s no magic; you just need to have an open mind, take the feedback you’ve been given seriously, and work hard.
Falling birth rate and immigration are irrelevant - all they do is contribute to the fact supply meets demand there. When supply meets demand prices approach the cost of construction.
> Or, for the last two years, Covid and only Covid.

Like every other TV show, news papers, radio program because it has been a persistent feature of our lives for almost 2 years now. How is this a criticism?

> And anyone who disagrees with him, including the world's leading experts are stupid.

I doubt he said this. I've seen clips where he has questioned orthodoxy surrounding things like mask mandates and vaccine mandates and the effectiveness therein. But I doubt he called people straight out of stupid because they disagree with him.

> Then he has Alex Jones on to say provocative things to boost his audience.

And? Are you saying he should get boring people on his show? That he shouldn't have popular people on there?

Alex Jones was made notorious because of his removal from many social media platforms.

Many people find Alex Jones entertaining. That doesn't mean they agree with his views. I find Alex Jones entertaining but I think many of his views are ridiculous.

> But yes, we will call this open research, and not being a shock jock somehow..

I didn't say it was open research. I was disputing the fact he is a shock jock. A shock jock goes out of their way to be controversial. Think Howard Stern in the 90s. Joe Rogan isn't isn't that.

The controversy around Joe Rogan is drummed up by his competition (tradition news and media) to ironically get views (the thing you were complaining about by him having Alex Jones on the show).
> No matter the circumstances, the government should not be levelling penalties against a person unless that person has 1) committed a crime

That is, even without further conditions, a fairly extreme position (“public civil penalties should not exist”.)
Expensify does something similar.
Metal barriers (like the silver on the back of a mirror) really kill radio transmission and are good to put between you and interference sources.

I am a fan of Ubiquiti gear, particularly the higher end hubs can use channels that are usually blocked because of the potential to interfere with weather radar around airports. Better hubs can move frequency if there is a problem so they can use a vast area of the 5Ghz band that is usually unused so less interference.

Multiple hub systems are also good because two devices on different channels don’t fight for one channel. Even if the second hub has a worse connection than the first hub the benefit of having a less congested hub is usually worth it.
This is usually a solved problem, but crops up occasionally. What is happening is the charge level is dropping below a level that the charge controller recognizes the battery at, so it won't even attempt to charge.

This can sometimes be rectified by just dumping 5v into the battery for about 30 seconds, bringing its voltage up high enough for the controller to do its job.

The Switch seems to have exceptionally dumb power state situations it can find itself in. That is not just limited to the Switch, but apparently the power adapter has its own issues and needs to be unplugged for at least 30 seconds to be reset if it too enters into a faulty state.

You can attempt the right voodoo incantations with your switch:

1. Don't use the dock for any of this process.

2. Unplug the PSU from the wall for 1 minute or more.

3. Hard reset the switch by holding the power button for 12 seconds.

4. Plug the PSU into the switch and let it sit over night.

5. Repeat step 3.

If that doesn't work and nothing else is damaged, you get to take out about 20 screws to get to the battery and either replace it, or jump start it to revive it.
> Full support for Django and particularly it’s ORM (hard to do with FastAPI as the ORM is not yet async)

I think you may have it backwards. Django's ORM isn't async yet [1], whereas FastAPI doesn't actually have an "included" ORM. However, the docs give an example of an async ORM [2], and SQLAlchemy also has async support [3].

My extremely cynical view, because politicians think it sounds sensible but don't realise the fundamental research we'd actually benefit from more people doing has atrocious pay and conditions so just build a funnel for people to become bankers
Adobe is now blocked from the networks I control. A page pops up with links to Inkscape, Gimp and other open source alternatives.
If Affinity Publisher had the needed tools for book publishing, I'd drop CC in a heartbeat. But I need footnotes and cross-references, and ideally, book collations of multiple Publisher documents with contiguous page numbering. InDesign is the only game in town for this, and it's frustrating. So I'm stuck feeding that beast.
Find set of tools that you like and start with very simple project then keep adding features to it.

I still build out prototypes using www.meteor.com

Firebase is good for that too
I don't know, I opened their page and the drop down was clearly labeled as an annual subscription to me. It also told me the exact date by which I should cancel not to infer any costs. The drop down offered me to pay the full year upfront, or a monthly plan which is cancellable at any time.

I don't think this stuff is illegal at all. What they effectively did here is put the email address and personal information form in front of the product details instead of below them, change the buttons that normally say "next" to "start your free trial, but the information was all in plain view. Complain to your browser vendor about the lack of scroll bars if that's what's gotten you.

The big scam here is the fact this program requires a monthly fee at all. All subscription services I know either have a minimum duration with similar cancellation fees (or you'd be on the hook for the full remainder of the fees instead of half) or they're advertised explicitly as being cancellable at any time.

I don't think anyone was getting tricked, but I do believe people were entering a subscription without looking at the details.
One in Five Facebook Employees Has No Imagination Whatsoever
This is true. It’s a threshold. So sometimes when I think to myself “Should I be spending time fighting to ensure people are not dying at the hands of a fundamentalist religious organization or should I be spending my time lowering prices for a high end graphics editor?” I always try to remember that these are equivalent tasks. It doesn’t matter which I do. I am bringing the same amount of good to the world.
Idk what everyone here is talking about Joe said on insta he removed the episodes himself because he said the Nword in them
They do have a mayor and city council too, but I imagine the tower association has just as much if not more impact on day to day life
You need to cancel BEFORE the 14-day period, after that you’re locked in again.

There’s money in confusion.
It literally satisfies the definition of censorship of three dictionaries I checked. Government censorship is the most egregious type we should all fear, but it's not the only type.
Nawh, bring back the engineer station like on the original 747. "Hang on, let me set some breakpoints and jiggle the cables."

I play my son music using my phone. Spotify bury the "Private Session" toggle deep in the settings, and arbitrarily turn it off again after a while. If this damages Spotify's recommendations, then it's entirely their doing.
Problem decomposition. You need to remove everything from idea and build single feature at a time. Sometimes you will end up implementing something in different way than originally imagined.

I did it for last 3 months in my paid job. I started with writing code to initiate business flow which I needed, added input params and prepared dummy result storage. Then provided new settings required by flow. Then implemented flow with very simple logic to handle data processing. Then improve processing. Then upgrade solution to Shipp able imementatipn - refactoring and making it a generic solution for future. The last part is optional and generalization is on business level, not pure functional/solid code for the sake of it itself.
Comedy is not equal to being offensive. Being offensive is not itself comedy.

Some comedy is offensively misinformed and still legitimately funny at the same time (e.g. Chapelle had some parts that made me chuckle, and some parts where I dreaded stereotypes about me being reinforced). But some is just bad. Look at Steven Crowder doing "comedy" for instance.

That aside, I'd rather they had removed Abigail Shrier, who is not a comedian but an author of a book full of falsehoods and anecdotes that contributes to a hateful environment that has measurably increased violence against LGBT+ people (up ~100% in the past 5 years in the UK). Or at least for the JRE to have ANY trans person providing different context. Chelsea Manning would be amazing, but I'm not sure if she'd be interested either.
A problem with Haskell and with this is that they are inherently only suitable for batch processing. You cannot build interactive systems that have real-time requirements with these languages because how computation is done is not generally under control of the programmer.

People attempt to program interactive systems with Haskell but then they spend most of their time adapting their program to GHC’s particular evaluation strategy. Usually the optimized program ends up convoluted and nothing like how Haskell code should look, additionally still with no guarantees on the run time.
Because that sentence is so generic it could describe pretty much any developer event anywhere.
I would guess it's because Rogan said something a bit racist or offensive in those episodes.
As another interested in this aspect, how about an 'info' tip alongside that states the minimum cost with an asterix?

"Yearly plan, paid monthly, £678" --> [ minimum cost £456 [[ a href="terms-cancel.html" ]] if cancelled early ]
I can understand why Young and a hndful of other celebrities are upset with Rogan. They have a history with a childhood disease that has influenced their adult lens. Fair enough. We're all human.

Where the understanding breaks down is, why now? Why Rogan? Why Covid? What about all the other ills of the world that need addressing and fixing? For those they're silent? Things more long running and sure to keep running long after Covid and/or Rogan is gone.

As a priority, is Rogan + Covid a top issue? Or is there something more nefarious going on here?
Just because you are free to do something does not mean it's always a good idea to do it, and just because I support your right to do that thing does not mean that I should refrain from letting you know how I feel about it.
