N-95 masks work to keep you from catching the virus and cloth or paper masks (somewhat) prevented you from spreading the virus. Ideally everyone would have worn N-95 masks but the US had four problems:

1) The US didn’t have enough N-95 masks. In Asia where masks in public were more common people used masks from their home supply. I think some segments of the population were resentful that the US didn’t have access to the best masks and Asia did.
2) We had only a general idea of who was high risk.
3) We had only a general idea of the long term impacts of the virus. There was some initial concern that the virus could be like the Zitka virus where mortality rates dramatically increase with the second exposure. If that were the case the second waves could have killed off half the population with wide transmission.
4) Households aren’t homogeneous and it is near impossible to prevent transmission from a possibly asymptomatic child to a high risk adult when they share the same home.

Unfortunately given the lack of consistent messaging about masks in the US one segment of the populations believed that the masks were to protect themselves and the other segment believed it was to protect others. Those that were low risk and believed it was to protect themselves resented the masks and those that saw the masks as a way to protect others resented those that resented the masks. I think those polarized views still persist today.
Not all paths have the odds stacked against you. Put yourself in her shoes. What does she like? What are her interests? What is she good at? Don't be so blinded by love that you lose all rationality.

Fighting physically is not what women excel at I wouldn't teach her that. A women's power comes in the form of social control and groups. If a man hits a woman he is engaging in a fight with all the men that protect her. That is a woman's power. A large portion of this power comes from how beautiful she is too. Most women figure out how to wield this power automatically depending on how they look. They grow up to be more fearful than men in general and will automatically learn behaviors needed to stay safe. Fighting is largely useless as any man easily overpowers the majority of women regardless of fighting skills. You'll have to train her in weapons that kill if you want her to have a chance at winning.

Anyway... from your reply I can sort of see that it looks like I'm generally right, despite how much the other replier doesn't want to believe it.

Since this is a tutorial for newbies, I'm intentionally using a chip with years of code, flashing, and peripheral circuit examples. It's also compatible with the Arduino Nano pinout so students can add peripherals with outside circuit examples.

For personal projects, I also prefer using fancier chips like the ESP32 series or the new generation of ATtinys.
i found the key in reducing maintenance overhead is to avoid complex build tools that claim to manage your dependencies and use frameworks that don't frequently break compatibility.

Doctors depend on the free exchange of information to help their patients. It is one of the pathways that medicine advances. Covid was managed in a top down, hierarchical mode. Doctors who questioned it were threatened and punished by medical boards, some lost their licenses.

Had a non-vaccine treatment for covid been discovered via clinical practice it would have destroyed the EUA for the covid vaccine, i.e. that's how they were able to issue an experimental vaccine widely to the public. An effective covid treatment would have cost the corporations billions of dollars in the present, and the ongoing subscription income of annual covid vaccinations for hundreds of millions of people.

When you've got billions of income it's easy to spread it around to politicians, media, and scientists who are willing to carry the story. You just pay them well and make them sign NDAs: no one will talk. This forms a ready alliance to silence anyone who dares question the corporate narrative.
Most of the evidence is localized around galaxies (not just rotation curves, but also radial velocities and excess gravitational lensing), but not all. Even uniformly distributed dark matter would still show up as a contribution to the mass density of the universe, which curvature measurements indicate is much higher than baryonic matter alone can account for.
People seem to assume that realistic art is a sign of artistic "progress" and sophistication. But is it really so?

People in prehistoric times must have been the most skilled stone carvers ever. This was the technology of the era. What they might have lacked in tooling they surely had in craftmanship and available time.

Is it a case of not being able to carve something more realistic or not interested in doing do?

Maybe confronted with the later artistic fashion of emulating reality (started in Ancient Greece and ended in the early 20th century) they would retort:

Why waste your time reproducing something that already exists?

This misses the point that gaining a relationship and keeping a relationship are not at all the same. It also misses the possibility of having a bad relationship, and while a bad parent-child relationship is usually on the parent, it isn't always. It's also one of the few (possibly the only) relationship that you can't really bail out of no matter how bad it gets.

Case in point, you ask what the value of peoples close relationships are, but for some people those relationships you mentioned: mom, spouse, pet, actually have negative value.

Pizza itself might be a bit of a joke but looking for non-operational behavioral changes is absolutely real. The Cuban missile crisis was started in part because soviets played soccer and Cubans played baseball and the presence of soccer fields helped confirm soviet presence (in enough numbers to bother making rec centers). A more advanced version might be the public Strava data leaking US base layouts and locations or Strava helping the Ukrainians kill a Russian submarine commander.

Edit to add: you could also just figure out where your target orders pizza from and pay one of the dudes working there to tell you when there’s a spike in deliveries to your target.

Biggest time wasters and innovation token consumers IMO is third-party vendors, especially shiny startups/products.

Don't waste your time, money and energy being someone else's guinea pig, you need to be focused on your business problems. Bigger companies that have engineers and resources to waste can try these out for you and eventually that startup you knew a few years ago will either be successful and ready for you to use or dead and you will be glad you didn't waste the effort.

Same goes for propropertary cloud services that have no business being proprietary. Biggest culprits here are data silo-ing lock-ins like DataDog, avoid like the plague. Use the standard off the shelf tools for everything you can, OSS may require slightly higher upfront integration costs in some cases, less than you think though, sometimes it's substantially faster due to integrations.

Generally speaking if a project has been around long enough folks have already encountered every problem and shared every solution. If you are stuck with some proprietary vendor for some important part of your stack and you are hitting an edge condition you had better hope you are a big enough fish for them to care (hint: You aren't).

I guess at the end of the day keep yourself off the Kool-Aid, ignore marketing speak and always ask hard questions of things and you will avoid innovation token sinks.
That's an incomplete understanding of social norms.

> in real life - if you were giving a conference presentation you wouldn't have any expectations of intimacy.

Of course you would. Every conference I've ever been to had a bunch of social norms attached to it, encoded implicitly or explicitly in the conference materials and attendees' behavior. People were at the conference to socialize on those terms. People who violated those terms would quickly find themselves excluded. Even those who were there to broadcast information as widely as possible still had a lot of expectations attached to how that would happen. At the best-run conferences you never notice any of this happening, because the people running it are good at their job - and the result is a feeling of intimacy that builds trust among the attendees.

Online forums carry all the same features.

I've always thought of running a public wifi access point, but all traffic would be tunnelled through TOR to keep me pretty safe.

I know a lot of sites break themselves over TOR, but I've always wondered just how much would break or still work, e.g. mobile phone apps. Would iMessage work? WhatsApp? Youtube? Uber? How about a TOR app? Can you run TOR over TOR?
Do they? I guess occasionally my family and a few friends benefit when we can meet somewhere they haven't bothered to support with proper public transport. I'm not sure I'd class that as an externality.

Somewhere in that list may be an anti-encryption organization. Can anyone find it?

I see audio storage like I see cars: there’s no such thing as a “best” version — more like the right version for the right time.

On a plane, I’m glad I can pull down a ton of albums on Spotify and listen to them without access to internet connectivity.

For Eno, Steely Dan, Roxy Music and Thomas Dolby produced albums, I’m glad for lossless.

For sitting at home on a Friday evening with a bourbon in my hand and the lights down low, nothing beats my vinyl player.

I could get into the cars side of it too but that’s more a “me” thing than a “relevant to this conversation” thing.

I don't think the target of Veracrypt is to be used by corporations.

Almost by definition, corporations will sell their souls to MS if that means "accountability", that means someone to blame when things go wrong. Not if, when.

Just the fact Veracrypt exists and can be used by that 0.01% is enough. It is already useful beyond expectations.
Where was Russias great cyber warfare teams? They wouldn't have held back against consumer devices.

From what I've read western agencies helped Ukraine and the cyber efforts were mostly neutered.

It's one thing to be a random org in peace time but in war the deep penetration into Chinese networks will have exposed plenty of Chinese efforts not yet disrupted and all that was super secret and careful before turns into open warfare.

So it's not like the west is going in blind. The US spends mountains on this stuff, not including the mass of western commercial infosec companies tracking these critical "threat groups" as their business model. NSA is huge as it is and who knows how many federal and DOD agencies have cyber mandates these days.

All systems are inherently vulnerable but some mass back doors in routers has been speculated to death by people way smarter than me and most I've read is that the risk is largely over stated to the civilian population. The router doomsday scenarios are always super hand wavvy in the details.
I'm almost as anti-Musk as it gets, and this parallel is still disingenuous. The duration of time necessary for a company to reach its Series E, and the act of investing at that duration of time, is NOWHERE near equal - or comparable - to Musk's investment in Tesla just 7 months into its lifetime.
Oh for sure, I expected 3. I'm amazed it works at all.

Eh, I would argue Kotlin is solidly boring right alongside Java now. It's still "mostly" Java if you are using it in the same places you can use Java.

I'm with you generally though. Yes choose boring tools, JVM, PostgreSQL, etc. But also write boring code using boring architectures deployed on boring platforms.

Try another language for the time you’re away. I spent 2 weeks in hospital and spent it offline playing with PICO-8 by downloading the PDF references and just experimenting.

Yes, I have another framebuffer too. It's interesting to me that it seems to be located a little bit above and behind my head. Does it feel to you like your framebuffer is physically located at any particular place?

One interesting effect of psychedelics that I've noticed is that they can cause the framebuffer behind my head and the framebuffer in front of my head (i.e. on the insides of my eyelids) merge into one framebuffer. It's quite an odd and fascinating state to be in!

Shouting an answer to the unasked question, that of a fighter jet in a high-speed, high-G dogfight.

Do you have anything on the actual question regarding a probable issue .. turbulent conditions in close quarter hovering?

From your own link:

The AlphaDogfight simulation on Aug. 20 was an important milestone for AI and its potential military uses.

While this achievement shows that AI can master increasingly difficult combat skills at warp speed, the Pentagon’s futurists still must remain mindful of its limitations and risks — both because AI remains long away from eclipsing the human mind in many critical decision-making roles.

So, physical surveillance. Idk if you are aware but this means physical surveillance on everyone, because with Tor you can't narrow this stuff geographically. Would you rather to be physically surveilled.

> researching who makes this stuff, convicting the actual producers, convicting people who do direct abuse

First it already happened when they used to expose identifying details. Those days are over.

Second, more importantly, what you described does nothing about resellers, aka the people who keep the abuse economy running and make money from it.

And please. Hash matching is not dairy reading.

And on the likely chance my dairy happens to have 1:1 collision with a know cp video, I would not mind if someone being able to look at it if it meant they also can look at the actual thing and identify reseller/perpetrator. How can you think differently?
Sorry, I know what you mean. I'm saying anything like challenge-response would still be a password functionally if you're decrypting a static file.
That's how I experience mental visualization as well. It's as if there is one framebuffer in front of my head (what I see in the real world, or inside my eyelids when my eyes are closed), and a separate imaginary framebuffer that feels like it's located above and behind my head. Is yours also located behind your head?

An interesting effect of some psychedelics is that they can cause my front framebuffer and back framebuffer to merge into one framebuffer. It's quite a strange experience. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this as well!
Looks good. Nice and simple. Its what Postman started as and should have stayed as.
Paper masks (and, by some measure, even gaiters) are for source control, and they work just fine for that purpose if the literature is anything to go by. Every software project needs it, and our squishy bodies are decidedly not an exception.
Driving both a gasoline car and an EV, I can surely tell you that pedestrians get out of the way when I approach with the former much more often than with the latter. So they are no identical. Of course where I live there's no law-mandated minimum noise level for EVs.

Please your own take. That comment didn't contribute anything useful.

I can't believe this is a question. You realize you are putting your own thoughts in another person's head?
Veracrypt works on Linux too. I switched over when Truecrypt was orphaned.
I think one of the under-discussed consequences of generative AI will be that a single person / small team will be able to scale much more easily than before. It's very likely that a contemporary startup team of 3 people is equivalent to 10 or 20 people from a decade ago. Considering that a substantial portion of funding is typically aimed at hiring talent, this will definitely make bootstrapping more popular.

The Brits had started a Lidar survey of most of their country a few years ago, I'd say 2015-2016, but I'm not sure if that information is entirely accurate and, if it is accurate, I'm not sure how far they have got with it (what if all the cuts made to spending money on stuff that is not seen as essential).

Sorry to be this guy, but did you read the article? Only UUIDv4 is "just generating a random 128-bit number" (almost) -- and there are valid reasons that's not a good choice. Which the article explains. :) Like database insertion performance. Sequential IDs have benefits.
This is almost never a bad thing. It means you have fewer people to compete with when advertising a position and the people that use a niche technology generally have more passion for their craft.

You might get less volume, but you can use this as an advantage
https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc/ and http://0x80.pl/ have some stuff about this, but the latter can be dense. I've had fun getting my hands dirty with some problems at https://highload.fun/ but there's not much direction unless you go to the telegram chat and ask people questions.
I think I saw an Uber-engineer's presentation (YouTube; can't find it now anymore) about their test environment having the ability to automatically fork the database for every new test run, such that they could easily "revert" (in their case ignore/walk away from) the database after a test run. I find that an appealing idea, since regular test runs in the places where I work, tend to create cruft data in the test enviroment that is lopsided and voluminous in ways that do not properly represent the production system anymore. (And no one wants to troubleshoot performance issues that only ever exist in the test environment.) I have to imagine that pg_branch might be part of building a solution similar to this? Could people speak to some practical applications for this? Maybe I'm thinking about entirely the wrong one here...
