Have you ever stopped and considered how suspect those numbers are?

Have you ever considerer that maybe, just maybe, it’s a stage to keep you in line? “Look, the people I support supported it but the evil bad Republicans didn’t. I need to fight harder to get the Dems, the good guys, in office.”

You fight harder and what happens? Well the “good guys” somehow stay magically balanced with the bad guys! But you fought your hardest and the system is “honest”, this is what always happens…may as well just keep working for the system without revolt.
Indeed it was!

Also an insider kind of thing. To get info directly from the .plan file, one had to be on the network and generally running a UNIX, or able to build tools on whatever OS...

Was really fun to get online early on. I had a shell account, useful for the many times I was using a DOS PC

On occassions, I would end up showing people "the Internet" and explaining things like finger, email, USENET were fascinating in what people would ask, or when they wanted to drive. People would often want to print stuff out so they could read it later, like USENET, or talk about it with others. "I was on the Internet with a friend, lookie here..."

I did that too and which I had kept a few pages.

But yeah. Kind of amazing really. We all would just read John's file, in his home directory, no worries. Crazy to think about today.
Sweden did get things right, however it also got things wrong.

Lockdowns and masks are both largely non-effective, Sweden got that right, however what Sweden got wrong was the care for the elderly, many deaths that could have been prevented with proper care, but many of them never got to a hospital.
This one requires two injections right into the most awkward bit of ye old twig and berries, the first to numb the pain from the second. Afterwards you walk around sore with a swollen scrotum for a week.

Doesn't seem that perplexing. Unless you're into that sort of thing, not that there is anything wrong with that..

It's not clear to me the total deaths number is accurate in the US because the government was reimbursing hospitals for COVID treatment and paying for people's funerals who "died of covid". It incentivized people to list the cause of death as COVID even when covid didn't play a role in the death or was at best incidental to it.

Anecdotally this happened with the father of a friend of mine. He had cancer since before the pandemic and it became terminal after exhausting treatment options last year. As his condition deteriorated, they planned to move him to hospice, did a routine covid test and found he was positive. He died a few days later. He was going to die of cancer in days no matter what. He is counted among the million US covid deaths and the US government paid for a portion of the cost of the funeral.

What percentage of that million are cases like this? I don't know, but it is pretty clear it wasn't uncommon and in the context of your original comment I wouldn't call cases like this preventable deaths.
This always frustrated me with Slack. It has often been the thing running on my computer using the most RAM, yet Slack is never the primary tool I'm using the computer for. That is, communication is always a secondary thing to support my work doing something else or to allow me to do that something else in a team. Its about that other work though, not the communication. Maybe some day soon I'll have a laptop with 32 GB of RAM and there will be more spare resources available for Slack to eat, but until then, I really dislike running Slack.

So yeah, I still greatly prefer desktop applications to use native UI's and prefer to avoid browser applications where I can. But its becoming increasingly hard.

Of course, I, too, am building browser things, since that's what the industry seems to demand, so I'm not really helping the situation. I do keep meaning to learn Flutter though.
I think it would be fitting if microplastics manage to yank our chain before obviously-dangerous things like nukes or antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
That would really defeat the whole purpose... I'm sure this is not the intention of this law.

However it is indeed possible that Apple would weasel such a requirement through the loopholes, yes.
We have a maximum image age of 60 days at work. You gotta rebase at a minimum of 60 days or when something blows up. Keeps everyone honest and honestly not that bad. New sprint new image then promotion. And with a container repository and it being internal does reproducibility really matter? Just pull an older version if push comes to shove.
Whether you have a separate base or not, it relies on you keeping an old image.

The advantage a separate base has is allowing you to continue to update your code on top of it, even while the new bases are broken.

You could still do that without it though, just by forking out of the single image at the appropriate layer. Not as easy, but how often does it happen?
Injections into the penis are probably a non starter for a lot of people. I had a vasectomy, so I don't have anything to worry about now but I'd choose a pill over a shot any day, no matter how frequent. Also, being able to stop taking a pill whenever I want is a benefit. Had I not already chosen a permanent path, I'd sign up for a trial today.
And more bugs
There is a version - it's been posted on HN before: https://github.com/baicunko/scanyourpdf
It’s kinda wild that women are basically expected to take on all the side effect risk of birth control and no one even questions it unless side effects are actually death (Remember Yaz?).

I’m also curious about how blocking vitamin A doesn’t have side effects - don’t I need vitamin A?
FAX! That's a pretty good looking one, given the time period.
"Many elderly people were administered morphine instead of oxygen despite available supplies, effectively ending their lives."

This is from the abstract, but as far as I could find, this is never mentioned in the actual text of the paper? Certainly there's no reference to "oxygen", "morphine", or "administer" on the linked web page. So I guessed this had something to do with "end-of-life care", which is discussed in Supplement 6. But I could not find any explicit reference to morphine or oxygen there or in the sources of the supplement, either.

Maybe it's in (Habib, 2020), but the link is broken.
I've long looked for something like this for my day job, which involves implementing many different custom binary network protocols.

One new project in this space is poke:

http://www.jemarch.net/poke

It can describe arbitrary formats for both reading and writing, and it's usable programmatically, so I think it can solve the problem!
The V is short for Vaporware of course.
You could use an array of motors, and only activate however many are needed.
Yes — it’s absolutely psychotic to hope for a mass loss of human life and the decline of our species.

There’s no reason to think it would make things better — and many to think a massive population decline would come with a technology regression and stall of our advancement.

I think such ideas are a form of mental illness, often stemming from delusions about the world.
That's interesting. Thanks for the info!
Eggs are not refrigerated in Switzerland in stores.

I do put my eggs into the fridge but mostly because I don't have much space for them and there is egg store thing int the fridge.
Do they tease out unintended from unwanted?

45% is wild, and doubly so that this is an all time low.

I could find a million dollars and it would be unintended but not unwanted.
> Many IT companies & startups boast about hiring the best 1% talent. While I believe contrary. I think that any developer can be a better developer with proper training & positive environment.

These two ideas don't contradict each other.

Maybe anyone can be better than they currently are, let's grant you that. Still, there's some distribution of talent with few people being the best at what they do and companies can make the claim (rightly or not) that they hire from the top end of the distribution.

Just because everyone can improve, it doesn't mean that everyone is the same.
The thought has crossed my mind. This move is being made 100% to ease the lives of our IT teams that maintain tools and fu*ck be upon anyone else and what they need.
Thanks for that, and I agree with you about something being considered 'unbeatable' and the industry becoming complacent about it. I think the original poster probably meant that it's only currently unbeatable, not unbeatable in perpetuity. At any rate, I definitely agree that the hacking mentality is inherently subversive and rebellious vis-a-vis monopolists (and just in general, for the intellectual challenge and bragging rights), and for whatever it's worth I hate Electron for the same reason as OP - it's slow and the battery life sucks (even on an M1 Pro).
You edited every comment multiple times downplaying your abusive comments, no point arguing with a troll
I remember this notion when most of the features were on a wishlist and a roadmap, but why its still a vaporware?
This means that software development is a failing discipline. All we can do is to come up with ever more ridiculous layers of complexity on top of mindboggling complexity, recursively. All of this is totally self-inflicted. The problem domains that our software needs to deal with are complex enough. But we keep piling on shit of our own making.

If this is what software development has become, then there's no way it won't end in total and utter disaster when people start to recognize the already all too common piss poor products that barely manage to do the absolute minimum and rebel against them. It may not be marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation who'll be lined up against the wall first, but software developers when the revolution comes.

Crap. I'm now old enough to remember when computers were fast. :(
Not One Bloc or the Other: Ukraine War Shows Emerging Post-American World
Very cool project! Refreshing to see some cool non Unix systems.
Our startup is a multistakeholder cooperative with workers representing 1/3rd of the governance. We’ve also received equity funding. Albeit challenging, raising funds through equity doesn’t necessarily preclude a cooperative structure.
> On the application code (VM bytecode) level OS shutdown (either manual or caused by failure) is not even 'seen' - applications and their data are 'never die', they continue their work after the next OS boot up as if no shutdown ever happened.

How does this work with timers?
Specifically in statistics, lowercase n refers to sample size.
But we don't parity or growth. A decline would would tax our systems less and we could still provide for our elderly.

War-Fueled Global Hunger Catastrophe on the Way with Solutions Tough to Come By
That’s one way to overthink it.

I pose another explanation: it’s just laying down, doing something you enjoy, and deciding to relax for a day.

Nothing new. It’s not rocket science.
> Going the "native" way for desktops means doing specific work for Windows X, Windows Y, Windows Z ...

Windows XP apps run fine on Windows 11, AFAIK, so that's a totally bogus argument.
> I just need to read volumes 33-36 to finish it out

The story is still fantastic and interesting, but not anywhere near an ending. Gon meeting Ging is as close to it as you’ll get. From there it ramps up again in full force with a huge new set of characters and the idea of a new world to explore.

Togashi has said he’d either finish Hunter × Hunter or die. Given the pace of release[1] and the state of the story, don’t bet on a conclusion.

Those extra chapters are still worth it, but be prepared for it to stop abruptly.

Instacart cuts valuation by 40%; squeezed by tech selloff, heated delivery wars
Aren't most medicines broken down in the body, and then excreted via urine? It's just a question of how fast the breaking down happens.
Seems like just allowing the user to specify 'unconfined' as an override. Then the user would just need to do that with flatseal. Alternatively, and with much more needless complication, some kind of fuse-mounted /bin directory that acts as a portal could be used. Point is there are solutions that don't require huge perversions of the Flatpak model and also don't require Jetbrains to rewrite everything.

Personally I like that the Linux Desktop community is finally starting to wake up to the idea of universal application distribution that doesn't require armies of unpaid third party maintainers, and while Flatpak is definitely not perfect it is, in my opinion, a huge step forward in that regard[0].

[0] Not that the idea is really that new, there have been many attempts at bringing sanity to Linux application distribution, many of them better (IMO), but they've just never really been embraced by the community the way Flatpak has.
Naturalism is like Luddism and Conservativism. It is a preference for ideas that have been proven by survival over a long time, over new ideas that have less testing. Of course the principle can be misapplied.
romero , steve jobs . This is what i fear to take cofounders, the marketing types steal all the credit and try to downplay the techinal cofounder after being successful.
"which pits collective well-being against technological/monetary interests."

Yeah tech/money interests are part of it. I think the bigger part is lifestyle change. Most of the things that we would need to change have no better alternatives that can also support the current lifestyle. People are resistant to changing their personal actions.

Some of it is entirely unknown too. We can't switch to electric vehicles overnight, and EVs have environmental costs too. How do we solve that? And what does a world without plastics look like?
Considering we’ve been implanting plastic parts (joints, heart valves, Central lines) and using plastic IV lines, syringes, IV bags, etc, all of which need to go through safety trials, I’m not too concerned that there is some massive unseen safety risk here.

If it wasn’t plastics it would likely be glass. And there are millions of acre of fine powdered glass all over the world that we breath in (sand).
This is not Sweden. While a lot of it rings true; like the strange mix of fierce indivudalism and collectivism in Sweden, and how we really did mess upp early elder care. I only have anecdata about elder care; my relative just now died in an one such home from brain damage + malnutrition the amount of care, happines and grit that was done to make her eat was heart warming. The same place hade been hit very hard by Covid, which ment they now had extreme proceedures in place that limited our visiting possibilities, that ment they had zero Covid cases during the peaks in 2021.

I think most of the care homes learnt after the first wave, at least I hope that my experience was representive.
Which bridging software do you use for some of these? I looked into doing something similar, but all of the ones I saw (at least for Discord) require manually duplicating each Discord channel in Matrix, and it looked to be a bit of a hassle.
They tried monkeys already. Worked perfectly btw. You're welcome to volunteer for the human trials to spare the poor animals, I would except that I really really don't want to.
This is not condoms vs not condoms. Condom use prevents the spread of STDs. Birth control helps prevent the spread of unwanted children and abortions. I don't find condoms comfortable at all and I'm married, so STDs are not my concern. Another kid is.
Let's not forget Hinckley C being built and possibly the go-ahead for Sizewell C later this year. Both projects are vital in the fight against climate change. I'd sleep easier at nights if we could build two more in addition and mini reactors dotted around the country.
Averages are often misleading. Another set of key figures is the distribution of created value between earned income, capital income, and welfare payments.

When the number of retirees grows relative to the size of the workforce, there is a need to increase the share of capital income and/or welfare payments, because a larger fraction of people depends on them. In reality, the reverse is more likely to happen. The share of earned income is likely to increase due to labor shortage. Retirees will then be worse off, regardless of whether they depend on social security payments or savings.
> For me, before Firefox 57, it worked superbly for me. Afterwards, of my 13 essential addons, only 2 still worked and one of those was trivial and unimportant.

What are those extensions? I myself use 16 extensions, and I don’t think it has ever happened that I wanted to use an extension that wasn’t compatible with post-57 Firefox.

> It's forced telemetry that kicked the entire browser offline for millions … And yet it includes a huge complicated "developer mode" that 99.9% of users never want and never see.

My question was, what features were removed? What does that have to do with telemetry and devtools?
And what happens when Google decides to move in a different direction and drop development of Chromium? It's highly unlikely but Google does have a track record of dropping projects and products for the most obscure and obtuse of reasons.
Yes that's how it works now.

That can be changed of course. They can make it work just like on Android where the user has to give permission for things like filesystem access.

The point of the law is to bring more control away from Apple and to the user.
Since you're not applying color to the browser sample and are inlining the component, a more apples to apples example would be:

import React from "react";
import { Renderer, Text, Window } from "@nodegui/react-nodegui";

Renderer.render(
<Window>
<Text>Hello World</Text>
</Window>
);

which really doesn't seem any worse to me, especially given that in most React code I've seen, outside of the simplest apps and the fundamental components, you build up custom components anyway instead of doing everything with HTML equivalents.
Maybe Russia should focus a bit more on denazifying at home. The Wagner group and Roscosmos are both run by Neo Nazis / white supremacist yet Russia doesn’t seem to care about them.
> it's kind of silly how much simpler the stack could be made if even 1% of the effort spent working around Docker were spent by folks investing in tools that are principally sound instead of just looking easy at first glance.

This is the phrasing I was groping around for. Thank you
> All of the things you listed are extremely privileged... The vast majority of people, even in the tech industry, do not have these privileges.

This is so deliberately myopic as to make me question whether your argument is in good faith.

A "$xx000+ climate control" is something _literally anyone who's employed_ would have as a furnace (or, slightly less commonly, as a/c, but still very prevalent[1]) and is not a unique expense to WFH. The perk is being able to set it where I want (vs. my employer setting it for me), not simply "having it." And if a $100 mechanical keyboard is a truly unobtainable indulgence for budget reasons, surely a $100 car repair to facilitate commuting to the office is, too.

I am working on app that I wrote initialy in electron, but now have moved away from it.I have perspectives on both good and bad sides of electron

The good parts

Low barrier to entry - if you know javascript you are good to good. No need to learn C++ or Java for building a desktop app.

Truly cross platform - any platforms that chromium supports, electron supports

A very active ecosystem - The community around electron is amazing. I am a big fan of electron.build, things like code signing / auto updates etc are provided out of the box

The not so good parts

IPC hell

Electron has a main process and renderer process and they communicate via events. I found myself swimming in the event soup very often.

Easy to make mistakes

This is more for a note for me or any beginner, but it is easy to write compute heavy code in the renderer and make the ui unresponsive or sluggish. There are many other things like this where it is easy to do things the wrong way.

Security

Electron still has a capable browser which can open any webpage. Mix that with native access and you have a remote code execution vulnerability on your hands.

Bloated binaries

Even the simplest of the electron binaries are large, thats just the nature of electron.

Shameless plug

The app that I am working on is https://loadjitsu.com, I rewrote it using golang, couldnt be happier.
That doesn't make much sense. You should be able to get arbitrarily good meshes by generating more and more viewpoints.
The Web is semantically consistent across platforms. There's no need to use the exact same rendering code on every platform.
Wow. I want to know every detail about this.
True, you can take equity investment if you're a multi-stakeholder coop and that's still a huge improvement over a traditional corporation in terms of worker ownership. Respect for that!
Here is a good article on the subject of lack of care for the elderly.

in Swedish date 2020-05-18, Läkartidningen is a newspaper published by Sveriges läkarförbund, a union for doctors.

> We could just as easily apply that basic logic to any security.

People do, uh, buy whole companies from time to time. When they do, the price is at least close to the current market cap of the company.

Barnes and Noble had been publicly traded, but was taken private in 2019. The private equity firm paid about 140% of the market cap at the time the deal was announced.
There's a good chance they already are, but we just haven't made the connection, because who do we have as a control group? Nobody.
> Maybe it's in (Habib, 2020), but the link is broken.

It's easy to find the article, you just google search with the article title.

> Yngve Gustafsson, professor of geriatric medicine at Umea University, noted that the proportion of older people in respiratory care nationally was lower than at the same time a year ago, despite people over 70 being the worst affected by covid-19. He expressed concern about the increasing practice of doctors recommending by telephone a “palliative cocktail” for sick older people in care homes.

> “Older people are routinely being given morphine and midazolam, which are respiratory-inhibiting,” he told the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper [5], “It’s active euthanasia, to say the least.”

Why not, is Cloudlfare controlling preservation? Is Cloudflare not exchangeable?
Not a paper, but still:

https://www.science.org/content/article/it-s-been-so-so-surr...

"A 17 March directive to Stockholm area hospitals stated patients older than 80 or with a body mass index above 40 should not be admitted to intensive care, because they were less likely to recover. Most nursing homes were not equipped to administer oxygen, so many residents instead received morphine to alleviate their suffering."
