I'm not sure about on Linux, but the GPU passthrough on Macos (Fusion) is not like KVM passthrough. When I looked into it I found out it's for one specific use case. Won't increase performance for general apps like Photoshop.
You might build an application faster in electron...

OTOH, C isn't a GUI development environment. If you want to compare a C based environment you compare it with GTK/QT/winforms/etc.

In the end, as someone who has written GUIs in a wide range of tooling i'm not sure there really is that much difference.

I've yet to see an electron application with 1/2 the functionality of similar native applications. Electron maybe gets you bootstrapped faster but then you bog down in basic data manipulation, and functional behavior because it turns out HTML/CSS/Javascript are absolutely terrible for building rich GUIs. Even now 20+ years after people first tried to do it. There are so many things people took for granted in the past (ex: grids with arbitrary sort, editing, and a scrollbar that represents where in the data you are) that are far more difficult in HTML than they are in more native solutions. Plus, the scalability is miserable, take your favorite framework and have it load 10k rows of data into a table. That was something you could do in VB/delphi in the mid 1990's on a 486 in a matter of seconds. This is why pagination is so popular. Half a meg of actual data bloats up into half a gig when you try rendering it in chrome/etc so your forced to leave it on the server and round trip for tiny bits.
And now they can threaten what, the losses of 400k jobs if forced to not utilize their nation-state scale to screw competitors?
Though note that the implementation in Rust is much less magical than that of, say, Go. Every numeric literal expression has a concrete type. When that type can be inferred from context (using the ordinary type inference rules), it is. When it can't be inferred from context, the compiler forces integer literals to i32 and float literals to f64; if that causes additional type errors to occur, then Rust requires the user to insert type annotations where necessary rather than trying to be smart about it (this can all be observed in the error messages in the OP). IOW, code using the numeric literal fallback types only compiles when it makes no semantic difference what the type is (modulo `unsafe`, as ever).

This mostly happens in small code examples and test cases/doctests, e.g. `fn main() { dbg!(42); }` only compiles because of the existence of this fallback.

This is not a selling point to me. When it comes to storage, I prefer experience over motivation, just like I prefer durability over speed (cough, MongoDB).

Otherwise though this looks pretty cool.

I do wonder what their scaling story looks like. How can they maintain a profit at such low prices and handle sudden load spikes?
Not sure that makes any difference.

Not only are death rates sharply higher in older people, but their infection rates relative to the population are also higher as well.
YouTube is headquartered in the US, so it should follow CDC advice, rather than a global counterpart.
>I have literally never received a fake/clone/scam off amazon, and I can't explain that discrepancy.

Shopping patterns?

I buy a lot of things, not just for myself but as gifts for a large family. I have found some areas are so filled with scams that I no longer buy items from those areas on Amazon. Other areas (which make up the majority) I have no problem at all, at worst getting a slightly delayed or damaged box.

Any sort of name brand small electronic was a scam more times than not to the point now I no longer order them off Amazon. But books, board games, or video games have been 100% what I payed for. As far as I can tell I've never received a fake Amiibo, though a few times I never had it delivered and had to call for a refund. Even my few orders of used electronics have been good (though I never did get around to converting my used PS Vita into an emulation center).

Food is good too, but I rarely buy it and only for a few specific items as most other things are far too overpriced. Mainly I order tea and I pay close attention to who is filling the order.

Gardening supplies are probably the most mixed bag of the bunch. Often enough I don't get the seeds I order but it can sometimes be fun to see what actually does spout up.

Result: A few areas: 90%+ rip offs. A few other areas: 50/50. Most areas: 100% good.

As a side note, on anything I buy I go read the 1 star reviews and skip if they mention fakes or if there aren't any at all.

China has it under control. It will not become a pandemic. It doesn't transmit between humans. Who is Taiwan?

Wouldn't dare contradict the WHO...
Yes, weird features such as "802.11n wifi", "suspending the system when lid closed" etc. Had a well supported older thinkpad (even supports open source bioses etc), and issues cropped up in those areas
Bad analogy. This would be like people calling Rhode Island "Newport". The official state name is (the State of) "Rhode Island" (and Providence Plantations), and calling it by the name of one of its territories makes no sense.
I would tell them to fuck off and go back to sales school - these tactics don't work in today's day and age, they worked when information was opaque, you got the world's information at your fingertips now.
Amazon is still delivering "non-essential" items, or else, what they consider "essential" is extremely broad. I use Amazon a lot - I've had energy drinks, candy, a radio wiring harness, fitness (Pilates) equipment, paper plates, pre-printed eBay thank you cards, a flood light, and more all delivered in the last few weeks, most of which arrived inside of the Prime window.
WHO advices:

-masks dont work

-closing borders doesnt work

-should of closed borders, its too late now
Facebook delivers value every day to billions of daily active users -- the social updates. The value varies by person but presumably it's positive value for all DAU or they would cease to be DAU.

Perhaps Facebook hasn't increased value delivered for each user for each day that much. Or has even decreased it. But the baseline is definitely "value to society" IMO

Did you mean Facebook has delivered little marginal value?
Can you please provide references for your assertions. Thanks.
no, the death rate for ventilated covid patients is something like 80-90%. this is based on a NYC study published yesterday.
It was a different time, with magic thinking.

Urine was (and is) considered to be strong magically tied to the person, so it was on focus for shamans and priests since ages. And used in combination with many other materials, to heal, to foresee, to curse ..

And given, that urine does contain many personal informations, there is truth to it ..
Huh, the conventional story is that the UN forces won the air war in Korea because of better plane ergonomics despite Migs having better theoretical performance. But this report didn't come out until the war was mostly over. The conventional story emphasizes things like bubble canopies but still.
The vast majority of people are not having anal sex, which is a more common practice among gay men. Anal sex is an incredibly effective way to spread AIDs. I don't understand why this is controversial. Promiscuous anal sex between men is a risk factor to spread AIDs. Promiscuous straight couples typically don't have anal sex.

Moreover, as your study points out, 'switching' who is in what role in anal sex is another effective way of spreading AIDs. Women cannot be the penetrative partners in anal sex, so even if a woman contracts AIDS via anal sex, she cannot spread it as a penetrating partner.

But to directly contradict your false narrative. I'd point out that your study was done in 2007. That's 13 years ago. Gay male sexual behavior in 2007 greatly differed from that during the AIDs epidemic. By choosing to use an article from 2007 to explain away gay sexual behavior during the AIDs epidemic of the 1980s, it is clear that you are trying to spin a narrative instead of actually look at events. In the book "and the band played on" by Shilts, the number of partners recorded during the 80s among the minority of gay men who had AIDS was regularly in the hundreds. This is clearly more than most people -- gay or straight.

Like I said, AIDS is a disease that affected a relatively small amount of people who continued to live life as normal because they could not control themselves. This furthers my point that people are not necessarily willing to sacrifice life's pleasures due to a deadly disease
Instacart needs to fix basically everything, it is in the name but they fail pretty hard at even being a cart and the web app is slow due to client side javascript. Looks like they are competing with AirBnB in how broken their web apps are. Hell some items exist, but are shadowed and in accessible presumably due to id and class collisions.
> the WHO denied human to human transmission

This is one of those completely false things that people only believe is true by repetition. Go back and actually read the full set of WHO statements in mid-January. They have a bunch of statements saying there probably is person-to-person transmission, and a bunch saying that specific studies haven’t yet found hard evidence for person-to-person transmission (because at that point most of the cases they’d managed to find were tied to the market). The WHO never, ever said that it can’t be transmitted, and they absolutely never said that people should do nothing about COVID-19. They were urging nations to act for months before they actually did.
It's a phrase spoken by Grover Norquist which is at least 10 years old.
I don’t know if I’m just really tired or if the post was just badly written, but I’ll go with the latter since you were confused too.

My understanding is this happened:

1. Attacker got a hold of Mitch’s bank card, PIN, and some personal details.

2. Attacker starts pulling out money and buying things here and there to see if Mitch ever notices.

Mitch never notices so...

3. Attacker calls Mitch on Friday and pretends to be Mitch’s bank. Attacker doesn’t ask for any details, just alerts Mitch that something was going on with his account to get him to think the bank was looking into it.

4. Attacker calls Mitch’s bank and also Mitch at the same time the next day.

5. Attacker asks the bank to send the SMS verification code to Mitch.

6. Mitch gets the code and reads it back to the Attacker.

7. Attacker repeats code to the bank.
I’ve had an annoying time with books too. In particular with ordering a book which is not particularly common and getting something that was printed on demand. The quality has been terrible, much worse than something offset printed. But I’ve heard that Amazon’s print on demand offering produced pretty good quality books so maybe this is an issue with the sellers of the books I’ve bought. Obviously I notice bad printing but don’t really notice good printing
What's your point? Do you really think I was suggesting that people are still running Firefox 4?

When WebGL was first implemented in Firefox - long ago - it shipped with serious security flaws. This struck many people as sadly predictable, as graphics APIs like OpenGL are not intended to be accessible from untrusted code. WebGPU seems awfully similar to WebGL in this respect: it's trying to wrap a low-level graphics API in a secure sandboxed API. This isn't the equivalent of a routine addition like a new feature in CSS.
You're supposed to tip? I tried Safeway delivery and there was no option to tip. Tipping needs to just go away. It's completely arbitrary.
Apparently I have hit the nerves of lots of people from my parent post and since I am and like to be publicly accessible, people who disliked my thoughts have really let me know what they think of me and where I belong :D

I am noticing, increasingly in the country I live in - the U.S., an extremely concerning attitude towards love for censorship.

More concerning is that the proponents have "good intentions" at heart.

It's almost as if the concept of freedom is not understood.

Freedom is not free.

Freedom has a price, often a heavy price that one has to pay for it.

The fact that we are not children anymore who desparately need oversight and constant handholding, seems to be an alien concept.

"Oh! What do you do about those YouTUbe videos that tell you to drink bleach because it saves you from SARS-COV2!"

Well, I watch that video and research what the potential effects of drinking bleach even if there was no SARS-COV2 in this world would be and then weigh the potential effects of a COVID-19 infection and weigh the options.

This is, what I assumed, were the responsibilites of an adult - a process to make rational decisions instead of being spoonfed and told what to do like one would a child.

As I clarified elsewhere on this thread, the point I was making wasn't "liars, cranks and con artists don't exist, and no one gets to decide otherwise."

It was "liars, cranks and con artists do exist, and we need to empower people to decide which is which by letting them practise."

Yes, being an adult means having the freedom to drink alcohol and drive a car instead of waiting for a bus or a parent to come pick me up.

It also means having the responsibilities of making my own decisions instead of waiting for someone else to do it for me.

What's the expectation - that if the decision making authority makes a wrong decision that kills me, I can then blame them and collect damages?

That's crazy talk - for one, I will be dead already!

Right, the systems of government of the United States are nearly identical to those of the European Union[1] (especially so prior to the passage of the 17th Amendment), and we constantly try to compare the Union to individual unitary states like Denmark or France or Singapore.

Trying to shove an EU-shaped peg into a France-sized hole is probably not worth the effort.

The ROC had existed continuously since over 30 years before it occupied the island of Taiwan. What about people in Kinmen? Do you consider them part of "Taiwan"? Please use the official government name to stop aiding the PRC in its misinformation campaign.

Chewy has been delaying delivery (they usually are two day deliveries). I've noticed some items take longer than others, and it seems to be on a priority basis (a poop rake set took longer than prescription medication, for example; like 2 weeks vs 2 days)

It depends...like I said in my comment you replied to:

>maybe acting on the best info at the time or acting as puppet for China

The WHO is supposed to be an independent international organization, so again the question is what kind of independent study or review did the WHO do before accepting the representations of Chinese authorities and repeating them to the World?

If the WHO did nothing but promoted a tweet at the request of Chinese authorities without an independent investigation into the merits of the tweet, then it seems clear they should not have posted it at all.

Either way the international community needs to know who these Chinese authorities were and an independent review of these preliminary investigations needs to be completed.
> WHO is a political organization

The YouTube statement was not, really, about the WHO. It was an interview. Wojcicki was pointing out that they'll be removing "medically unsubstantiated" content like 5G conspiracy theories, and as an example said that anything that clearly contradicts the WHO would likely not qualify.

The decision to put "WHO" up there in the lede seems to be click baiting on the part of the BBC. Frustratingly I can't find a link to a transcript of the original interview, or even an indication from the article about who it was with.
That approach is pretty much what Singapore system looks like. The gov't intentionally didn't reimburse 100% of healthcare costs, they want patients to have some skin in the game to control utilization.

Of course it has it's own issues, but the Singapore system works pretty well. If you're destitute, there is a government plan that provides healthcare. For everyone else, it's a forced savings plan that everyone has to contribute to. You can then make a choice as a consumer to either take the basic insurance (80% of costs covered for a basic ward where you have 6 patients to a room) or get your own private room that the gov't covers 50% of and you're responsible for the rest (typically though insurance).
Its not that it is unethical

But it does support the statement that "The WHO is a political organization with medical leanings".

Personally I think that statement puts it a bit too strongly.
It would be like saying "PyCon is a feminist organization with technical leanings."
Thanks! Will definitely take a look at them
Can you give numbers to those absolute salaries? US PCPs make ~$220k on average. Switzerland seems to be the highest, but the numbers I'm seeing for non-specialists are all less than 200k. Switzerland also has a famously high CoL, so even matching would be reduction compared to say Kansas.

FWIW, I think that several things are getting confused in Amazon's messaging. A while back, Amazon shut down inbound shipments of non-essential items (since opened back up, but with quantity limitations on a case-by-case basis). I think people mis-interpreted this to mean that they were shutting down outbound shipments of non-essentials. But that was not the case. Then, as my sibling commenter mentions: you can't even buy essential items right now, so they can't be over capacity in general because of shipments of essential items.

My take is that they are experiencing something akin to holiday season levels of sales, but that they're not staffed for that kind of volume, since it's spring. So they temporarily shut down inbound shipments of non-essentials so that they could free up warehouse staff for outbound shipments in general. If this is correct, then I think their delivery times are dependent on two things: 1. how quickly they can staff up for the increased volume, and/or 2. how quickly and to what degree retail spending shifts back to physical stores. But demand for essentials returning to normal will probably not make a difference.

Right, calling the ROC and all of its holdings "Taiwan" just muddies the conversation and gives ammo to PRC shills claiming "Taiwan is a province of China" which deliberately uses the name of a single ROC holding and the ambiguous "China" term.
With the underlying factor probably being that much fewer people are creating good new content given the global lockdowns.

I would imagine the iPhone is built by a totally different team and it serves totally different markets. Doesn't really change the fact that the macbook has had consistent thermal issues release after release.

Apple aren't stuffing a third party CPU into an inadequate cooling solution with the iPhone because there isn't one. If there was an equivalent to i7/i9 in terms of mindshare in the mobile market I wouldn't be suprised if Apple released a phone with a low clocked and badly cooled one of those too.

Some releases have been worse than others, this would be my favourite example: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-15-Core-i9-s...
