That's an interesting point that should have been considered with the covid vaccines. Previous infection should have had some bearing on the dosage one was compelled to take. As should adverse reactions to the first dose. A vaccine injured friend is still trying to get an exemption in the state of California for work. She wants to work in healthcare, and had a severe adverse reaction to the second shot, but no doctor will give her an exemption for fear of being investigated by medical boards.
That, and the "realtor lens". Driveways suddenly become 50% longer. TVs are 3 meters long and .75 meters tall. That bedroom looks like a long, narrow jail cell (well, not in real life; such is the unintended consequence of misrepresentation). We all know what you're doing, few (if any) are fooled, just take the shot as it is or just leave it out, since that photo might as well be a picture of the Eiffel Tower for all of its lack of usefulness in representing the house.
At that point I would just move.

I also get constant positive feedback from news like this regarding my reminders to my parents (they live in the Romanian countryside) that they should never install gas-heating in their house, that they should continue relying on wood-based stoves.

Once you start relying on a third party (like the gas company) for your basic needs in this age and time then things risk getting real nasty real quick, especially if you don't have any potential counterbalancing measures (like protesting in the street, for example).
I have the feeling that a lot of these people who are very smart and design things sometimes live outside of the world and don't know mere mortals issues, I might be understanding cascading and important (I don't like to use it either and avoid it), but we need to make sure that we know that we work with some legacy code, as part of a team, some decisions made before us, tight deadlines and pushy managers, I won't use !important, I might understand cascade, but I also don't want to refactor everything everytime I can't use a shortcut, when its simple changes it's fine, when it's not maybe !important + a ticket to refactor in an allocated time is a better approach
Author here. In an ideal firm, where data is handled responsibly, you would not need RPA at all. In large organizations though, data tends to accumulate in monolithic islands that are only exposed to each other with legacy UI based applications. Moving this data tends to make up a large bulk of white-collar jobs in large organizations.

RPA replicates the work that these workers do by automating on the UI of the legacy application and replacing them. It is championed by ambitious business professionals who

1) Don't know that a more elegant solution exists in the traditional IT world

2) Don't receive enough support from the IT org to solve this business problem that is crucial to them.

Therefore, such business professionals collaborate with consultants to spear-head RPA projects in the name of digitization, ushering in AI or similarly varnished back-doors.

However, as long as important data tends to accumulate in disparate islands that IT doesn't have the time to pay heed to, RPA projects will continue to be sold at a price that is a little lower than the salaries of the employees they 'liberate'.

There is, although, another wrinkle to this. RPA is also about democritizing IT by handing (ideally) every white-collar worker the ability to write scripts that can automate pieces of their daily-work. Of course, those solutions aren't likely to be elegant, and their code won't be clean, but since their scope is tiny, that isn't a problem.
I have to say, I've never felt this in the Vue ecosystem. It's relative simplicity in state management, and slower relative paradigm shifts have been pleasant. The 2->3 shift wasn't perfectly done (and it did split the state management stories), but overall I've felt like I "kept up" fairly easily, compared to React.

And that's while writing a lot more React than I did Vue.
That's actually not a terrible idea! German is known for having words for concepts other languages lack, and I guess that applies to Danish by extension. Maybe I should ditch the thesaurus and teach myself German.
Unless you have a gargantuan yacht the monthly recurring cost is going to be prohibitive anyways, I'd be shocked if it's less than $1200/mo to start.
Sun Microsystems used to have a tagline: "The network is the computer," now it's starting to look like the network is the camera.

Basically photography is about Pentagram, Twatter and Faceborg more than it is about the photo itself.

The medium is starting to alter the aesthetics of the images themselves¹.

Joking aside, a professional photographer needs to be able to get reproducible results. Because the algorithms in the phones are mostly black box, with few parameters, they can't be used in a professional setting.

Even if you have the control over the algorithm, they are still really weak. Portrait mode for example can't reliably separate the subjects hair from the background properly.

Doing this optically does not suffer from these problems at all.

It's not even that Remainers were universally happy with the EU in all aspects. No one thought it perfect.

If it had gone 48-52 the other way, it wouldn't have been a remit for adoption of the Euro, entry into Schengen and full integration into an EU military.

I hadn't realize that we'd actually gotten the $1,000 genome. It was a big point of discussion 20 years ago, but seems to have arrived without the fanfare I would have expected. According to Wikipedia, it's been around for a few years, and claims the X-prize for it was canceled before that since it no longer looked like much of a challenge.

So we sailed right through it and are now pushing an order of magnitude below that. Thanks; I had missed it.
"Free college? Why not."

"Why not." suggests why this can be a very bad attitude trap, you don't value so much what you don't sweat for. If the OP attends MIT he'll sweat more than he would at Z for academics and money, and that will likely make a profound difference in the person he becomes by graduation.
This is kinda wishful thinking. There's already a lot of things that we force all of humanity to be subject to without consent, including lethal contagions that may arise from any part of the world.

A better solution would be to tightly regulate this sort of thing so that random research teams aren't allowed to just do this, but there are checks and balances, e.g. a plan coordinated by the UN/WHO or something.
Directly testing people's IQ through say contrived interview questions (ever wondered why people care about leetcode[0]?) will always be more accurate than predicting it from their DNA. It is difficult to say how much of IQ is genetic, but estimates range from 50% to 80%, placing an upper bound on the effectiveness of the exact technique they used in GATTACA. (But, I want to emphasize, the more accurate way of doing it is already being done.)

[0] One objection to calling leetcode an IQ test would be that some people "grind leetcode," as in, practice at it to get better, but did you know that Raven's progressive matrices has a large practice effect? In fact, I might raise your score just by telling you that a lot of the questions are based around XORing the presence of symbols in the pictures. If companies were giving culture-free IQ tests rather than leetcode ones we'd see the exact same pre-interview behaviors, including practicing tasks that don't resemble the job being interviewed for.

Eh - I'm not really sure we're even disagreeing. I just think that hooks let you stack the abstraction tower a lot higher, and answering some fairly basic questions can become really hard.

There's power there, and I absolutely agree that hooks do a better job of making for re-usable code than HoCs, I just think that the general level of understanding for them is low, and most devs do a really poor job reasoning about them (and in generally - I find they're basically impossible to reason about in isolation).

I see people do things like wrap everything in useMemo and useCallback, or pass complex objects to useEffect as deps, or fail to understand that making the output of useState the dependency of a useEffect hook that happens to call the corresponding setState function is a recipe for lockups, or any number of other fairly simple mistakes.

Plus... tools like redux strongly encourage destructuring semantics, and destructuring for hooks is absolutely the wrong thing (for the same reason - equality and identity checks). But then you're in a conversation about object identity and memory locations with a dev who has never encountered a pointer in their life, who's 6 months out of a bootcamp, and whose eyes are glazing over further and further with every word out of your mouth.

Worse - hooks can give you a loaded gun if you expect all the environments your code runs in to act like a browser (see my useLocation example with JSDom). Works a-ok when tested in a browser. Will even work nicely for the specific tests you might write for your component (since folks generally mock their hooks) but will absolutely foot-gun you if another spec calls the real hook. Happens to eat up a boatload of CI cpu usage and time as well.
You might enjoy the book then. The tools that were built in the NSA and its contractors that are now in the hands of our enemies, combined with the shocking lack of security throughout the country is borderline terrifying. We are so vulnerable.
I think the question was whether your search supports specifying search criteria like that. Because the lack of support for such searches is a major reason why looking for furniture online is often really tedious. One has to sift through hundreds of search results to determine the few products that might fit, or to find out that there’s no product with the desired dimensions.
I love this, it's essentially a case study for the companion article addressing maintainers instead of companies: https://words.filippo.io/professional-maintainers/

We need both sides to shift for this kind of transactions to become commonplace.
An OSS project that a previous company heavily relied upon, pleaded that they needed funding or would seize maintenance. As the project manager at the time, I told the R&D manager to start funding this OSS project. In return, we'd get maintenance and features that we otherwise would handle in-house. Roughly a 10kUSD/y handout from a Fortune 500.
"How much do we pay today?", asked the R&D manager, "Nothing", I said, "its open source". "Then we will continue to pay nothing".
So many companies take OSS projects for granted and as a once OSS core developer, I have seen many sides of this. Don't expect anyone to pay you for the work you are doing, and if you find your self not having the capacity to continue, try to see if there's any other maintainer ready to continue it for you, if not, even if it hurts, just leave it alone...
Yeah, that blog post was a great reference to get a general overview of What Happened At Myricom.

I spent a week in Phnom Penh around 20 years ago and the experience of walking through Tuol Sleng prison is one of the most affecting and enduring memories I have.

Nothing I am saying diminishes that as an expression of profound evil. The question I've got though is why you're here minimizing the raw, senseless, brutal cruelty of 1990s neoliberal economic policies.

Just because you can't see pictures at the visitors center doesn't mean the misery is any less profound.
Sad to see commenters here not reading the article and just reacting to the headline. The article is about contagious vaccines for animals for diseases that do not currently spread to humans.
"So, war crimes really mean that even in the case where you are fighting to defend yourself and war itself is not a crime."

You may have put a restriction on it, but otherwise this is exactly what I said. "The rest of war is okay" -- or in your view, "The rest of war is okay as long as you are defending yourself."

You know what the problem with that is? Even the aggressors in war often believe they are defending themselves. Hitler believed he was defending Germany from invasion by "those who are not German enough". Putin believes he is defending Russia from "those who will soon attack us" (via NATO) "and are destroying us by pretending they aren't Russian".

In the end, very few evil people do things they believe are evil. Most people do evil things believing they are right to do it, and in the case of war, it's often through some rationalization that leads them to believe they are defending themselves against some threat to their nation.

Now, we can say "but that's not REALLY defense", and I'd agree; but who gets to make that decision? Who gets to decide that People A are defending themselves while People B are delusional and never needed to defend themselves? In an ideal world, that delineation would be based on evidence of threat, but we do not live in an ideal world, and evidence isn't as important as you might think outside of science. (Perhaps sadly.)

So, yeah; "killing a bunch of people is not a crime as long as you are defending yourself" is not as clear-cut a definition as you'd think. Instead, I believe what you mean is "killing a bunch of people is not a crime as long as the majority of the world agrees you are defending yourself." And honestly, that idea is not much more palatable to me than the more generic "war is not criminal as long as you don't do these specific things that we call war crimes or crimes against peace".

All war is bad. All killing is bad. To me, there is no such thing as a "justified war," and while there are cases (such as in Ukraine right now) where defense is required, that doesn't make it better. A Ukranian soldier shooting a Russian to death is equally awful as a Russian soldier shooting a Ukranian to death; the only difference is practical, in that one is required to save lives while the other is not, but it is not, in my humble and personal opinion, more moral.

To quote from a recent cartoon, "ethics are a luxury we currently can't afford" -- but that doesn't mean we should forget about them.
I love this idea. Is this going for an ebay / Craig list kind of vibe, or are you going to add some kind of code quality / not stolen validation? Are you going to handle the money transfer or is this more of a “make the introduction” kind of app?

I have so many of these sitting around. This is a cool idea.
It is difficult for me to imagine trusting the public health apparatus enough to feel that informed consent to medical procedures is a vestigal, dangerous liberty.
Plausible deniability does not work in Russia. If you dry your clothes on the balcony and happen to put a blue towel next to a yellow teeshirt expect a knocking down of your door and family inside. Rounding up of neighbours too.

I can 100% guarantee that it won't when I'm holding it.

Sure, you can invest time to get good at it and the money into the tools to apply those skills. I have other priorities so I don't and the very best option is a smartphone camera.

It makes no sense that point and shoots aren't attacking this. Even "cheap" ones have a massive edge in terms of (imaging) hardware over phones.

Someone like Apple or Google should create a dedicated camera and just knock that entire segment out from under the dinosaurs.

They're fine for knowing that something is going on, but not great for knowing exactly what the cause is.

For example, when Facebook's services went down in October, people were reporting that AT&T and other cell carriers were down because they couldn't open the apps. As far as I know there wasn't an outage with any of the carriers that day.
This stuff is awful. Even at my factory job no one understood when I said "white collar job."

That is a symptom of hype. In the long run, this will change due to commoditization, as I point out in the article.
I'm pretty unconvinced this thought is well-baked. It's more like, well, whoever thought it is baked. According to the CDC [0], Omicron had 9 deaths per 1000 cases, Delta 13, and original COVID 16. While I admit the hospitalization numbers are slightly more friendly for Omicron, it's clear no work was done to separate vaccination status in this data, and it'd take someone more dedicated than I to argue Omicron really exhibited markedly different characteristic than original COVID to a degree necessary to even make this plausible

Haha that’s so true. I always loved the way they send it up in Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

There’s more than a few current “leaders” that could learn from it:

King Arthur: I am your king.

Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?

[Angelic music plays... ]

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.

Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Arthur: Be quiet!

Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
More charitably and historically accurate, it's the result of hardcore political negotiations with the originally proposed legislation watered down due to pressure from politicians and governments influenced by lobbyists.

But yeah, the result is too complicated to be effectively enforced, sadly. So further reform is needed.
Nice [and difficult to implement] idea!

What this guy said.
Those used to be common in the UK, along with "pay as you go" meters, where, when your prepay runs out, the power cuts off. That still exists.[1] It's now "cloud-based", so you can pay from your smartphone and turn the power back on.

The limiter is less restrictive. You still get some power.

Most heat pumps these days are mini-splits, not ducted. And they have a separate unit in each room. Either with multiple compressors outside, or a single one that can ramp up/down.
It looks like the PCB supports both layouts (only one at a time, of course! Should depend on the firmware settings), and the differentiator would be the switch plate. If the cutouts on the top row are all the same, it should be True Fox (split backspace), which is imo nicer on a keyboard of that size. The keycap set also looks to be made to fit either layout, which is expected.

The same happened to me with the Rama M65-B (the ICED option), except it cost more money. I flirt with the idea of selling it, to put the money to use somewhere else, but I'm still too emotionally invested in the thing, as well as the nebulous 'potential' it may have for me in the future, whether as an art piece, a gift to someone, etc. Whichever way, another year or two won't matter much, and I have enough closet space to hold on to it for now.

If you're regularly clearing things out, maybe do a quick inventory of the contents, and put it all in a box with the 'last access time' written on it? It could help remind you of how long you've been waiting to make a decision.
As someone teaching electronics, media technology and programming at a art university I'd argue that the space between those who chose a solution because they didn't know it any better and those who considered every available option and made the rational choice is not only big, but the borders are foggy as well.

At least with my students who are usually not experts at electronics, programming or similar things, the chosen solutions are often ridiculously naive. They would probably also work 90% of the time — however they would (and do!) pay that naive approach by gaining an unreliable, expensive, overly complex rube goldberg type of system that falls appart when the stars don't align in just the right way.

People like these are extremely grateful when you sit down with them for a while, analyze their problem, explain some possible solutions to them and then in turn discover that there is a solution that is magnitudes less work, has magnitudes less moving parts and will probably also work in a decade. And you can do that without forcing your language or other strong preferences on them.

There are many companies who chose the solutions they chose because they cannot imagine something else, they only have an employee who does x etc as well — but assuming you can just recommend a thing and everything complicated about the problem would be neatly encapsulated and solved is naive as well.

That's what people are doing by advocating for a change in the system.

> Is there something preventing these advocates from paying the bills for the people they are concerned about?

Well yes, it would require an enormous amount of coordination to match up all individuals with money to match up with individuals with the need. It also isn't very fair to shoulder the burden of these payments on only those who go out of their way to make this effort. Hence why it is better to have the state step in and manage all this.
>Adobe is responsible for that stuff, not my camera.

I grew up on analog photography, and one of things I really appreciate about recent Fujifilm cameras is that you don't necessarily need to use Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. There's an "X Raw Studio" app, which lets you develop RAWs in-camera through a USB tether to your computer. It has a very, very limited set of RAW development choices, but for me it brings back a little bit of the feel of working in a darkroom. Limited options. I rarely use actual postprocessing software these days.
Yes, sure, but a "billion dollar company" in this case does not represent the whole industry.

You can probabbly find a some specific non-critical case in aerospace industry, but surely based on that example one would not suggest that the whole aerospace industry should just copy what they see in frontend dev.

Context matters, there are exceptions, but the standard practices are based on average scenario, not on extremes.
