While I'm probably wasting my time here. I'm going to say what I think many aren't saying. We need to heavily study and reflect on the impact of vaccinations regardless of the outcome and IF "we made the right decision".

This means comparing outcomes between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

While this study might be a step in the right direction, I feel there are too many in the medical, political and scientific spheres of influence that are shutting down such medical/scientific/humane study and debate. The silence is deafening.

If I don't hear such debate, my mind goes full tinfoil hat and thinks of concepts such as the Tenth Man Rule. It's good to have a civil discussion and disagreement on ANY subject. The data is out there. Where is that disagreement? Where are those studies? What were the impacts on heart conditions, strokes, neurological, SADS and other medical conditions?

The silence is truly deafening.

And to further increase my chances of getting censored - it's those same spheres of influence that likely created COVID in the first place and continue to allow institutions to dabble with genetic modification of these viruses. No one cares about the definition of "gain of function". We (humanity) dabbled with the code of life and messed up; we messed up big. Let's learn from this mistake and move on.
Your argument is the appeal to nature [1]. Sure, there is evidence for the healthiness of different kinds of fats, but that some are "natural" while others are "processed" isn't a valid reason itself.

Hey Ronald, thanks for checking out Userdoc.

No it's not a dev tool specifically, I would say more for project and product managers, however the strength is involving the whole team. My initial customer development has been with agency owners and CTO's, as that's my background.

Regarding the pricing model, our initial thinking is a monthly subscription (with your plan denoting how many projects you can add) - but I hear you, we are currently testing this pricing model and open to feedback.

I can see how having a demo would be beneficial, perhaps a middleground would be having a demo video (as making our private app public would take a bit of work).

Happy to connect! https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrickard

Thanks again mate.

How is the accessibility picture?
It would be useful.. but really there needs to be much better laws controlling user data. If Google and Apple want to monopolize their users with the app store, then I think they should have to pony up for much stronger liability in these cases. They're only enabling this behavior to gain profit.
Differences Between Mastodon and Twitter
i obviously don't agree with you on us "destroying" but they already do that. they literally block most of our stuff. so turnabout is fair play.

why are you advocating chicoms get special privileges to be let in without proving they're good relative to us having to do the same in china?
It's different because you don't physically have a recording here, Google does on their YouTube servers.

If you want to preserve stuff, you have to have your own copy. "youtube-dl" works really well here...

My gripe with Sharepoint:

- I don't see hotkey tool tips when I hover over various buttons. When I look up their hotkeys online, they don't work on mac (neither "ctrl" nor "command" keys work in "ctrl + someKey" combinations). I want to be able to indent/unindent, and URL-link text quickly via hotkeys, not click through things.

- Google Drive docs may not be as configurable as Sharepoint sites, but they're much faster for me to work on-- More Hotkeys, Less clicking buttons (including drilling through multiple button dropdown menus-- (Sharepoint URL link button ,lookin at you)).
They usually get 2-3x our salary though in Australia, with the downside you mentioned
Why does Mastodon require an email address nowadays?
I had to rescue a saga based project that went badly off the rails and it was some of the hardest code I’ve ever had to debug in any language. Code flow was very difficult to reason about and forget about trying to use stack traces.
What you fear from Musk is the current status quo for all social media and other data mining tech cos like Google and Amazon. I really don't get the deep concern here about Musk upholding the status quo. He cannot do worse than Google, Facebook, TikTok, etc. And whatever data mining is going to occur on your tweets will happen anyways. It's a very public platform, it does not even have the intimate relationship graph or intimate private dm access that other social apps have.

The stock market did think Twitter was worth that much a year ago (Q2 2021 mcap was $51B). Of course the entire stock market shed trillions in market cap this year as the Fed relentlessly hiked rates. Musk clearly was trying to get a steeper discount factoring for the macro environment after the original offer, but it didn't work out. Can't say I blame him, if you can stall things in court to get an extra 10-20% discount from a $40B purchase like that, it's worth a shot.

When you offer to buy up an entire company and all the liquid shares on the market, you have to pay a premium. That's always the case for any buyout. For a while it looked like Musk was going to get away with walking away from the deal. That's why the market walked away from "free money".

The media's job is to dramatize everything. Especially when it's the drama machine itself, Twitter, at the center of it all. The media will do everything in its power to portray the Twitter purchase as chaotic, haphazard, unplanned, ill-considered, etc, because their own engagement metrics are driven by such takes.

At any rate I repeat my assertion that no worse can be done by Musk that has not already been done by Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Google, et al. There's little to exploit there that hasn't already been exploited. Perhaps his subscription revenue ploy will work and he'll monetize with micropayments and other integrations. I hope so. I think there's a chance that version of Twitter is healthier than the ad and blue check insider peddling platform that has existed. Not guaranteed but it's a chance.
I actually am quite please with it, or at least the programs I've used written in Rust... but the community has been pretty toxic and it hasn't been without its share of security vulnerabilities.
Specifically in its lack of ads or is it generally some other features they miss?
And the market fails to functionally solve any of these problems because it's monopolized by two players who follow the exact same playbook.

These aren't intractable problems, and they don't just come from nowhere.

Leaving aside flexible customer acquisition costs (i.e. ad spend), the marginal cost of digital content (like the course OP’s selling) is practically zero. Your complaint about single unit profit margin makes no sense for zero marginal cost products.

Shallow indicates incompleteness, it lacks a whole, it does not achieve fullness. "wile pini sona" maybe? my toki pona is beyond rusty, I've forgotten all of it.

I think it should be possible but few have attempted to do so. even in programming languages, the goal is to overflow not underflow. Forth-ian languages seem to be the only ones that try to build down not up.

And doing so is difficult because it would require simplification, and simplification is difficult when you lack completeness. English itself is infinite and symbolic. A new concept was identified? lets just make up a word/symbol for it. It does not matter if it breaks structure/grammar.
I got a Ph.D. in computer science a long time ago, and I think it was the worst mistake of my life. 6 years wasted, for no obvious benefit. I don't know why I did it, other than wanting to learn more computer science stuff. And I think I could have learned a lot more by just working in the industry.
1. Yes, it does, but only the cparse.d file is for C. The rest of the "C" compiler hijacks the D semantic routines, code generator, and optimizer. There's also some custom work to turn #define's into simple declarations. If you just want to parse C, yes, you can just use cparse.d.

It's important to note that C cannot be fully parsed without keeping a symbol table, and cparse.d handles that, too.

2. C extensions will always be a problem. ImportC supports the most widely used ones. (Most C extensions are rarely used and can be ignored.)
Seems like satire, especially given the name
If the compiler wasn't able to make optimizations then you're right. But it can, especially when it can determine the bounds checks are unnecessary.
Why? Open discussion is exactly at the heart of the supposed "free speech" argument.

Her discoveries first mentioned in a 1988 magazine when she was 65.
Previously in Nature: "Please don't publish anything that would undermine the liberal worldview"

Advancing knowledge and understanding is a fundamental public good. In some cases, however, potential harms to the populations studied may outweigh the benefit of publication. [..] Harms can also arise indirectly, as a result of the publication of a research project or a piece of scholarly communication – for instance, stigmatization of a vulnerable human group or potential use of the results of research for unintended purposes (e.g., public policies that undermine human rights or misuse of information to threaten public health). - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32595083

Scientific American: "Don't even study such topics"

For another thing, scientists must do some soul-searching about why they are so motivated to look for evidence that traits like intelligence or propensity to violence are written in our genes, or that they would be different for people in different racial groups. Of all the bits of truth they could discover about our complex world, why this focus? - https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/science-must-not-...

Sweden: "You will be suspended if you even accidentally find the wrong results"

After studying more than 3,000 convictions in rape cases passed between 2000 and 2015, researchers found that most of the convicted perpetrators are immigrants.

Scientists are also criticized for insufficient evaluation as they failed to indicate how their research should ‘reduce exclusion and improve integration’. - https://news.tvs-24.com/world/1714.html

If HP-UX was a supported system by D, and aCC is the system compiler for HP-UX, it would be made to work. ImportC already makes adjustments for Microsoft C on Windows, Digital Mars C, and the dialect of C used on the Mac.
I would love to read or watch any content you have created about this project. It’s literally a goal of mine, to build something similar. I love helicopters and live under a flight path that’s used for by the rescue choppers, and I run outside to watch them every time. I’m going to start collecting ADS-B data also; I can imagine that’s complimentary to your efforts.
How interesting, what country are you in and what's the motivation to do so? Similar to parent comment's reason?
i am always rooting for haxe it's just the community adoption is so lacking, which i find surprising. At the time, typing was somewhat shun by the javascript community until the arrival of Flow/Typescript, but Haxe had already existed way before those and with additional benefits of compiling to other languages. One day, I hope haxe will find its rightful place outside of game development.
Matrix, while kind of a PITA for non-technical people to get into, can do it quite well considering the featureset they support.

The phrase I've heard is "audience capture": people who spend a lot of time in the public sphere end up tailoring their statements and behavior to whatever gets them the most engagement from their most responsive audience.

I read a thoughtful (but long) discussion of this phenomenon at https://rebelwisdom.substack.com/p/what-happened-to-jordan-p...
IMO this is backwards advice. Traditional relational databases with ACID go to great lengths to create the illusion that there's a single, global state, and that's what leads to people doing things like check-and-set that seem to work. You're far better off using a non-ACID database, simply because incorrect approaches will fail more visibly and more often. Ultimately you do the same amount of work either way, but using a non-ACID database forces you to do it upfront rather than letting you silently mostly succeed with a fundamentally broken data model.
Your mother wouldn’t benefit from backups? The idea here is that you get backups working first, because data loss is the most serious risk, and then you later consider whether you want full disk encryption once you have backups working.

Encryption is designed to make data difficult to access, so it makes sense to consider backups and encryption jointly. I don’t understand why someone would consider this controversial.
so no flexbox or grid? no thank you
Yeah just rewrite the whole project bro
The Architect of Record isn't just signing off on paint colors and finish quality, but on things like the seals around windows, flashing on roofing elements, fireproofing on the structural elements, and many more aspects of the building process. In the US, the vast majority of lawsuits around buildings are due to water infiltration, which is affected by these sorts of issues. The building may not collapse if the architect isn't reviewing it, but the walls and roof might.

That said, I'm not certain that engineers are in a different situation. Judging by videos I've seen of collapsing buildings and other issues, I wouldn't be surprised if structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineers also hand over their designs in the beginning, and then leave it to the developer / contractor to interpret them and 'value-engineer' as they see fit.
Most of the charts are stacked bar charts, so I think they went with donuts at the top for a little visual variety.

Oh no, I got the point - the idea that groupthink leads to inefficient markets is not exactly new, so it is easy even for someone at my speed to grasp. (And to the author's credit, he avoids mentioning virtue signaling.) The problem is that the article does nothing except state that things feel homogeneous to author, with no demonstration of the opportunities presented. So, it's a restatement of a very common pose: I see further than the masses.
They didn't break the rule for Andrew Wiles after he proved Fermat's Last Theorem, which was arguably the most notorious unsolved problem in all of mathematics.

So I expect them to stick to their rule.
Indeed. A simple example is photo-sharing, a critical function for many people.

Every time you send you have to manually choose if you want higher quality over smaller size. You can't set a default option.

You can crop crop photos, but the crop handles don't work properly and often spring back if you only want to crop in one dimension.

There's an anti-pattern where there's a separate tool selection and tool edit UI on the screen at the same time, so if you are in a hurry and hit 'Save' without hitting 'done' (immediately above it) your changes are discarded.

But if you hit the discard button, you have to confirm it in a modal dialog. It's faster to discard changes by hitting 'save'.

There are pen and highlighter tools so you can draw on an image. but no shape tools, in case you wanted to blank out someone's face.

There's a text tool with some display options. But it's always in the middle of the image. You can move it around, but only after you have typed the text. You can pick color but you can't change the font. It's faster to make a meme online.

You can't use any text effects like italic, bold, or underline either.

Remember how there were going to be blurring tools built in so you could blur faces if you were an activist or journalist? Offered in Beta, never made it to production.

Well, you could just put a sticker over their face, using one of Signal's (extremely cringey) stickers, or by uploading your own. But you can't paste an emoji.

On desktop, you can drag a sticker over the photo with the mouse, and it gets a little '+' in a box to show you're copying the sticker. Then it disappears. Why? Because it was designed for a touch UI and only clicking on a sticker will actually add it.

These are just the problems with image handling/markup. I could make many more lists for other aspects of the app. The markup tools would be kind of superfluous, but it is useful to be able to do thm within the app...only they're implemented in a way that is a source of constant frustration.

If you bring this up with them on Twitter or so people will rush to say 'well Signal is for secure messaging, use an art program if you want fancy image editing lol.' The same people who rush to defend Stories and stickers as 'broadening appeal' while simultaneously saying 'nobody uses SMS anyway' even though SMS is ubiquitous in Signal's home market. It has degenerated into fanboyism at this point.
Macroeconomics is still in its Infancy
The ACM Code of Ethics (notably section 1.6 "Respect privacy") certainly forbids this sort of behavior.

I'm still waiting for ACM to audit the practices of Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. and then apply penalties (conference and publication bans, membership revocations, digital library bans, etc.) as appropriate.

At the very least they should call out examples of unethical behavior - which currently includes many common practices in tech companies.
Not just you Poptart
I do sympathize for many graduate students who are chasing dreams of making a contribution in their fields and to push the edge ever so slightly, not pursuing graduate school purely for vanity sake.

But it's apparent to me that academia is straining under the system in which it exists. Incentives are misaligned, from the bottom of the hierarchy to the top. Economic strain puts pressure to produce rushed research, at the expense of PIs and the students and limits the allocations of grants to proven institutions and individuals.

The issue is so complicated that I don't even know where to begin to address it without sounding like a Kacyznski-nut. From a naturalist's perspective, maybe this was bound to happen as 'real' innovation dries up.

It seems that the only rational conditions to pursue a graduate degree in this economic climate is 1) purely for intellectual reasons, the challenge and the growth, 2) to put a small pimple on the butt of your field and given that it takes off, pick the fruits until the tree is bare. To expect glory and honor is setting yourself up for bitterness and from a purely vocational perspective, many have remarked at the negative opportunity cost.

Also (and I think more notably) the DMV does not require registration in most US states.

There's a fair number of people who end up on them after getting DUI's as well (although technically this is not legal since you're still required to have a valid driver's license almost everywhere... but they probably don't get caught that often).
There are a number of opened up unbelievable SSD's dissected on youtube. Various fold back methods to register as XX Tb.
Most are sold on a money back, if defective, warranty.

"Admits interfering with U.S. elections." That's one way to look at it. "Claims to have interfered with U.S. elections" is another.

I'm not saying whether interference occurred or not and I don't know whether CBC knows the answer, either. I'm just seeing CBC's opportunity for manipulating public opinion.

From my experience with learning languages I'd say that's perfectly normal when you have a conversation in a language that you haven't mastered yet. (Though your English seems fine.) The brain simply needs more time to process the input, whether it's because you're not familiar with a word, or haven't yet gotten used to the speaker's pronunciation or their intonation/melody.
why do you consider it wasted? spending 6 years learning some cool stuff seems like a good life to me.

I don't know what western country you live in, but I'm guessing you have a very different definition of poverty than the article is using. The UN has a list of criteria such as:

- Lacking access to electricity

- Lacking access to drinking water within a 30 minute round-trip walk

- Lacking access to sanitation facilities

- No household members have completed at least 6 years of schooling

- Any child in the household has stunted growth due to malnutrition

You need at least a third of the criteria to be true in order for a household to be considered in poverty.

It's likely that practically no one in your country meets this definition.
Interesting, I thought of something more of like incompleteness, something like sona wile pini.

It also went ahead and put non binary... which is like, right there "non" and "bi" and "nary" (which could be sex).
Also worth mentioning that the window doesn't have a set direction in the short term. It can move back and forth, expand, and shrink fairly arbitrarily. It also largely depends on the spectrum parameters specified.
