New Winamp update adds features, fixes, and (sigh) support for “music NFTs”
Vox discusses it: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/9/27/17907964/sa...

"Ahmed Bayoumi and Pamela Leece, who wrote one of two critical reviews that led to the meta-analysis’s retraction, noted that the meta-analysis combined outcomes for mortality, drug-related crimes, sharing of drug equipment, and problematic drug use — even though each of these outcomes could be affected differently by a supervised consumption site.

But I can't find the review itself.

In an era of questionable social science, retracting for bad methods seems defensible, but arguably this should just be not cited on account of being inapplicable. The emotionality of the issue makes that hard--if not retracted, it will go on to be bad evidence for things it doesn't say. People seem to have a pretty low bar for what passes as a judgement on supervised consumption sites.

“Accordingly, that estimate of effect has no practical public health or policy implications,” Bayoumi and Leece concluded.
Here's a PDF of what I presume is the same study by the same authors a few years before it was published in a journal: https://www.monash.edu/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/216475/An...
They have humans do it because it is faster. Significantly faster, in fact, to go car to car, rather than have each car drive up to a window to order. It also allows them to have multiple lines running at once. And it is probably just as fast to have to person handing you food just ask your name so they can make sure to pass it off efficiently.

Chick-fil-A is the only chain where you will reliably see a massive line (often backing up to the freeway) on any given lunch hour (or a massive in-person line in New York City) that will still get you out and get you served more efficiently than another drive-thru (or walk up shop) that is 1/4 as busy.
There’s an article in the constitution that says the government can’t pay for healthcare?
I agree that most of the routine software work feels like, umm, filling forms? The way I've made peace with it is to accept that the work that pays the bills is going to be boring. After considering ourselves to be special as software developers for many years, maybe we accept that it is not so special after all, like flipping burgers.

Two ways to out from the existential dread: one startup on a problem statement that feels exciting to you, so that you get to pick your tools, processes and what not. But this is not a realistic/affordable option for most people. Also, if your startup achieves even a moderate level of success, you'll be back to solving boring problems.

The other is to find a pockets of software development outside work, where you can still solve interesting problems, like developing small games. Joseph White, who created the famed programmable fantasy game console Pico-8 alludes to this (https://youtu.be/87jfTIWosBw?t=1080) ! It was an explicit goal to build a tool to solve cute, interesting problems because routine software development feels like glueing things together. The whole youtube talk linked above is worth watching. But the trick here is to forgo commercial motivations. People make fun, cute little games on Pico 8, distribute them as cartridges. Occasionally, there's a hit like Celeste. But otherwise its a small community of people solving problems and building things just for fun.

Quote: "Although it’s something I’ve only thought about recently, top computer scientists have been recognizing this as a problem for at least the past ten years"

10 years? Try since the dawn of computing, this was always a problem. Wanna know the most famous one, older than 50 years? Here it is:

In 1969, when Apollo mission on moon was live broadcasted by all the TV networks around the world, the image is of a grainy white and black, despite the fact that both NASA and TV stations already had color transmissions. Why? Because of the incompatibility of NASA transmission (which was a format more closer to our current HD - btw, can you imagine having HD format being common in 1969?) with NTSC/PAL systems at the time.

And what was the "API" that bridged (or in terms of the article "VendorOps") married these 2 incompatible formats? Use a projector on a wall and all TV stations filmed that wall instead of getting the real transmission. What a shame. Also NASA handling of the role films is abysmal, to say the least (https://www.nasa.gov/feature/not-unsolved-mysteries-the-lost...)

Japan has an interesting approach - you have health insurance that makes everything dirt cheap, but even without insurance they don't charge ridiculous American-style prices. While on holiday I saw a doctor for 3000yen ($20) and a dentist for 4500yen ($32 incl. x-ray and meds) without any local insurance.

It's actually much better than the UK for dentists at least.

It's the Juicero of bikes.

Overall, I'm quite happy with my bike. It does exactly what I wanted it to when I purchased it. However, it's the company itself that just seems to have it's head insert fully up their backside. It seems to be a Seattle thing, but I feel it would fit in perfectly inside the SV VC world of "disruptors" where a concept that is as ubiquitous as a bike gets updated to be the VC darling of a thing only to realize the updates are so stupid that it devalues the entire thing. Rather than using stock component parts, let's custom design everything!! What could go wrong?

> He didn’t say that it was “possible”, he said it was the “most plausible explanation”.

You're right, I had misremembered. This is still not the same thing as "must have", but it is much scloser.

I still have trouble seeing this as problematic, because it's still explicitly referring to "presented herself as willing" and not "was actually willing".

This is another example of you reading a lot into what someone wrote that they did not say. I wish people would stop doing that.

I think he takes the free software thing well past the point of counterproductivity.

Separately from that, yes, he's said some other things that are not socially accepted, many for good reasons. I didn't even respond to the last paragraph of your comment, because I have no counterargument to it. This does not mean he is automatically wrong about everything.

I simply empathize with him in some specific cases, because I also live in a world that's actively hostile to me in many of the same ways. I just wound up with more social skills and less executive function than he did. This is very different from agreeing with everything he says. People are complicated.

What exactly is IT doing when a dev requests to install randomtool.exe? Why is it a developer is incapable of that same thing?

> Realistically, how often do you need to install brand-new non-standard software?

Well, does my own software count? I mean, I've run an executable that didn't exist 5 second ago more times than I could possibly count. I've also built installers for said software, and then executed and installed it on my machine.

Is that ok? If so, why (if I also can't download and run something from github)? If it's not ok... how I supposed to do my job?

I could sign up for that! But what interesting things? That cluster will in nearly all companies just be used for yet another CRUD API supporting yet another social or adware platform. Yawn, please no.

If you are aware of companies doing actual intellectually creative programming anymore, please share them. I have no doubt they exist, but they are becoming way too rare.
Do you always confidently speak about issues you have no knowledge of? The tires are being recalled and destroyed due to defects.

I agree there are many exceptions and we have to be careful about generalizing.

It's an interesting explanation. (That gay men pay more attention to their appearance than straight men because they want to be attractive to men rather than women, and men both gay and straight are more visually oriented than women.)

This theory would predict that gay women would pay much less attention to their own appearance than straight women do (since the women they want to attract care less about looks than men do).

Do you think that's the case?

JPEG should be fine with those dimensions (did you try mozjpeg's cjpeg?), but WebP is contained in a RIFF format and has a limit of 16383 pixels in either of its dimensions. Don't know the technicals of AVIF, but being derived from a video format, it's not going to be designed for large sizes in the first place, and I don't know if it also uses RIFF for the same limits.

PNG and JPEG XL are actually made for, well, still images; JPEG XL especially has no practical limitation on dimensions, it'll take whatever you can throw at it, given you have the hardware to process it. JPEG XL is either lossy or lossless at your option ;)
OpenEXR (designed for, and used by the VFX industry) supports dimensions up to int32 = 2 billion, but is a float16/float32 pixel format only (It can do int32 for IDs, so technically you could multiplex/combine/bitshift 8-bit values into one int32 if you really wanted).
Summary:

The cloud takes inefficiency to a whole new level.

Cloud vendor tools are designed to sell cloud services, not solve developer problems.

Jupyter notebooks are buggy and unnecessary (You can execute Python without a browser) and won’t work with medium sized data sets.

Excel handles larger datasets than pandas and small datasets more efficiently.

We flew to Heathrow to Dubai on our first leg to Thailand last week and I was again struck by just how little like flying the experience is. Even the acceleration down the runway doesn't feel dramatic in the same way (I imagine it's a bit slower than a A320 for a start). You don't even feel the expansion joints in the runway.

We flew our second leg in a 777 and it was noticeably louder and more airplane like.

The very first one was on one of their newest A380s which even let you pair my Bose Quiet Comforts with the in flight entertainment system over Bluetooth. That really was the dream.

As the article points out, it remains to be seen if this is for self-driving use or in-cabin. Europe requires interior intrusion sensors in passenger vehicles, which afaik can be radar-based.

Please share where you got those numbers from, I'm sure there's a good laugh to be had about how anybody got that "one third" figure.

A minor side note: Stopping hormones does not mean someone has stopped transitioning or is detransitioning. It just means they've stopped taking hormones.

Second side note: Detransitioning doesn't mean the person isn't trans either, it just means they've stopped transitioning.

Third side note: Just stopping hormones without talking to your doctor about it is a reeeeally bad idea. I'd be surprised if the number of these "under the radar" people was even on the same level as known detransitioners.
We're largely in the windows world. Defender vulnerability management will detect software such as this just because we use defender edr and have this feature in our license.

Any advice for a develper in a startup about to get founded
The startup where I'm a second (of two) developer is getting funding soon. What do I have to expect, and how do I prepare myself?
Even though the perspective is very promising, the main concern is I'm just a contractor. Yeah, I have some stock "options", but I do not expect much from it since it isn't something valuable in general, especially for a contractor who is easy to fire. Only my leverage is the codebase/devprocess ownership.
My question is, for any advice from experienced people, what should I do or prepare myself? I very much appreciate any help!
> Grey/Silver color range is much easier to keep clean, and stays cooler in the sun.

That's true, however there's also a surprisingly big drop in reflectance going from white (~85%) to even a light gray (~50%). Now these figures are for "normal" flat paint used for steel construction, the glossy metallic paints used for cars probably have higher reflectances. But still.
The key distinction here is that "unnecessary" isn't really an objective measure. You are taking that for granted, while the person replying to you was not.

I'm not claiming + and = have some underlying meaning, of course they were taught. My main point is that symbols are only truly useful when they are ubiquitous in their field. Before that, they are obscure and should be avoided.

If the Haskell community or the Lenses community wants to do the hard work of teaching everyone their new symbols, go right ahead. Until that work is done though, I would advice everyone to avoid using these symbols.

In regards to the vinculum, it's true that I've never heard that name, but I learned different names for the different uses - not in English though, as I took mathematics in Romanian, and some of the terminology and even notation is not the same (for example, repeated fractions are denoted using parentheses, not a vinculum - as in 1/30 = 0.0(3)).
Nice idea, but I think for THIS application the FOV is to large and the resolution (160*120?) is to low.

> Water resistant (e.g. 30 min / 1 m) mobile phones with exchangeable batteries were quite common

I wouldn't say they were common, at least not for android smartphones. The first water resistant android phone was the Motorola Defy[1] in 2010. For Samsung they had the S4 Active and then the S5 had some water resistance. But then the S6 removed support for replaceable batteries. So the only Samsung phones with easily replaceable batteries and any water resistance were the S4 Active, S5 Active and the S5.

I think you're right that IP67 (30min / 1 meter) is probably achievable but I think most people prefer the better water resistance and by the time their phone battery degrades sufficiently they usually want a new phone. Additionally it's already possible to get your battery replaced. At least Apple will replace your phone battery going back to the 5S for $49 up to $99 for current models. I prefer this model where I have a trustworthy place to get the battery serviced that will preserve the water resistance for a somewhat reasonable price. I tried to look at the battery replacement cost for Samsung phones but couldn't find it, so maybe that's not a service they offer directly or it's just difficult to find.
