I honestly don't have the information to answer that.

I do know the single-lead EKG has some limitations, but they may not be relevant to your dad's particular scenario. Worth a conversation with the doctor, I suspect.
Polygons can be smoother and subdivided efficiently at render time without artifacts, which is how they are used now. Nurbs and other curved surface representations end up with huge problems pragmatically when it comes to tools, workflow, visualization, texture coordinates, keeping the surfaces together etc. The list is long. Polygons are very simple in all these areas and can be made smooth at render time so you get the best of both worlds. If you were in a production situation it wouldn't be long before you gave up these ideals.

You've selected anecdotes from two very specific places. But that cuts both ways. There are plenty of places where so far they have been equally or less affected than a flu season.

For instance the UK is doing worse than most other countries in Europe but currently there are quite a few years within my life with similar death numbers by this point in the year: http://inproportion2.talkigy.com/

Or look at the graphs for Europe: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

There are some countries where it's higher than the flu seasons in the past 4 years. But there are other countries where it's equal or lower.

Overall weekly mortality in the EuroMOMO reporting countries peaked at approx 2x that of 2016, approx 20k deaths per week more. Given the large populations of these countries this is a tiny change. To put that in perspective 20k people is 0.03% of the British population alone, but you'd also need to include all the other countries to get the real percentage.

I really like Kotlin, but text blocks were never the pain point for me in Java. The best thing Kotlin brings to the table is explicit nullability, which makes it so much easier to reason what can be null or not.

Loom and Kotlin coroutines are not the same though. Loom will bring real fibres to the JVM, which maybe Kotlin coroutines can use. Kotlin coroutines should also benefit from Loom.

In the UK about half the excess deaths don't mention COVID at all on the death certificate.

Of those that do, a very high proportion are extremely old, i.e. they died with the disease rather than of it.

If you take that into account the lockdown kills far more healthy people than COVID.

Cloudflare | Software/Systems Engineer | Full-time | Austin, TX USA or Lisbon, Portugal | Onsite | https://g.co/kgs/t6N2jb

I work on Argo Tunnel at Cloudflare. It lets you run servers on localhost and route traffic to them through Cloudflare, using a long-lived outgoing connection. Like "enterprise ngrok". It powers a lot of "Cloudflare for Teams" and we've seen a huuuuge increase in traffic because people use it to replace their VPN and access their business' software even while WFH.

We work in Go and Rust and manage a distributed system over Cloudflare's huuuuge edge network. At our scale anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong. We're working on making the system more resilient, by slowly removing dependencies from our core user flows. And working on new features to support the rest of Cloudflare for Teams. It's a challenging environment but I've been here for 2 years and learned a ton about networking, distributed systems, concurrency, databases and Rust.

Well, to use your x + 1 example, we can say that one is simpler than the other, even if we can't define "simple" in exact terms, or even measure it precisely.

(By the way, I just noticed that your first sentence is perfect for this topic. I suspect that it was accidental, but it's beautiful.)

So I think that simplicity is perhaps somewhat like encoding in Shannon's information theory. Even if you can calculate the minimum number of bits required to represent something, you can't necessarily devise an encoding that will represent it in that number of bits. The analogy isn't perfect, but it has the same feel of "pushing toward something that you can't actually reach". (I guess you said the same thing with your newton's laws analogy, so I'm kind of repeating your point here.)

But I disagree with your last paragraph. Even if we can't measure "simple", we can still kind of feel when complexity is there. If the user needs to be able to do 50 things, then you either need a program that lets the user do 50 things, or you need 50 programs (or something in between). If your program is going to let the user do 50 things, then there has to be a way for the user to specify which of those 50 things they want to do, and the code has to be able to do all 50 things. You might be able to come up with some commonalities, a unified framework to simplify things somewhat, but that can only take you so far. You're still going to have to have 50 buttons on the GUI, or 50 command-line parameters that you accept, or 50 different URLs that you interpret, or whatever.

Or, you can have 50 separate programs, and each of them can be much simpler. But then you have 50 programs, and the user has to figure out which one to use for each thing, and remember them all.

So I claim that you can kind of tell that it's there, even if you can't measure it, and that's good enough for the statement to be a useful thing to keep in mind, even if it's not something we can measure or calculate.
Nobody remembers that 100,000+ civilians have been killed in Iraq. Most not by drone. The press conveniently looked the other way.
Sure, but from the pov of a startup that needs a core, the choice is whether you pay SiFive or similar, or ARM.
This is akin to reporting “Giant asteroid on collision course with earth, many journalists expected to be killed.”

Basically, the article is saying that the EARN IT act would defacto outlaw end-to-end encryption. Thus people could not securely communicate with each other. One group of people affected by this would be journalists trying to securely communicate with sources.
thanks for the information
Nobody is? The pilot himself literally said he thought it was aliens.

...and why would you take verbal descriptions of aliens at face value? Extraordinary claims require strong proof. The videos are compelling and warrant further investment in investigation tech.

Also, claiming the objects "moved as if they had no mass" is not supported by either the video NOR the verbal reports.
Ventilated. I should clarify since my positioning of the citation may have been a bit weird - the data is in the linked paper.
> They are complaining about how _bad_ parties use HTTP and HTML and concluding that _good_ people should disavow HTTP and HTML as a result.

A protocol that can be easily abused is perhaps not a good protocol.

A verbose markup language with loads of historical baggage, inconsistent implementations (much better these days), and whose spec is half-baked and incomplete at best, is perhaps not a good markup language.
Companies don't have to tell you whether you'd like it or not, because they really can't know. However, they should describe the environment they provide.

Ok, that doesn’t mean it’ll be worth anything. Or if it does that doesn’t mean anyone will have their keys haha. Every random walk down the timeline results in 100% of keys lost haha.

That's true. I wonder if the actual objective is insurance. In the good times you lose out. But you don't mind because it's insurance against bigger losses when things go south. As an example it is reported that the organisers of the Wimbledon tennis tournament have spent 34million on insurance premiums over a period of time. Due to covid-19 they are cancelling the tournament and getting a payout of 100million+. Probably not priced correctly but you get the point. In the good years they're hemorrhaging money...

> This is a perfect example of added complexity to solve a complete non-problem just based on probably the unsubstantiated aesthetic view of a handful of key people. Stop. Just... stop.

This type of remark is the height of arrogance. The whole process of designing text blocks was in the open. It was a preview feature for two releases (three if you count the raw string proposal in JDK 12) and thousands of people gave their feedback what they wanted to be changed. That your preferred version wasn't chosen is not the result of "the unsubstantiated aesthetic view of a handful of key people", but of this process.

Ah, yeah. There shouldn't be any runtime difference if you don't leak the address of `i` somewhere the compiler can't see, which should be uncommon for an iterator. But I agree it's awkward.

You can wrap the whole thing in an extra block, so at least you don't have to hoist `i` to the top of the function.

> (Declaring variables willy nilly anywhere in a block is nice too)

You can always introduce another block, although it's not uncommon that that's harder on legibility than just hoisting.
Another alternative also is investors fleeing from emerging markets. With Fed's backing the US stock market is a better bet than some others as compared with moving to cash, bonds, Gold, etc.
That's a very simplistic view of the architecture. Consoles in general have multiple CPU complexes and caches that do not straddle the boundary, and also multiple memory buses.
You can save further by patching air chambers with other air chambers, or better yet fit a ring of old air chamber between you tire and the air chamber, creating a thicker wall that it's harder to penetrate by debris, glass, nails, etc.

You can get your tires pumped for free at most bike shops, gas stations, public bike repair stations.

Use your saved up 50€ for beers or better yet give it to someone else so she can buy a bike!
All well and good, but TCP has been around for decades and there are top quality network stacks providing TCP sockets on top of almost anything that can run on a CPU. Is there a (preferably BSD-licensed) QUIC piece of code that can be retrofitted where the TCP stack of an OS used to be? Or are we going to start linking a piece of the network stack into the applications?
I used to write software for financial traders, so I'm more familiar with financial markets and their history than most. It's my firm conclusion that consequence-free "financial innovation" is an absolutely terrible idea.

Every major market started out with little or no regulation, and every one has ended up with quite a bit. This is true even of self-regulating entities, even of markets owned by traders. Why? Because there are tradeoffs between various market virtues. Openness to innovation is certainly one of them. But not having your money taken by scammers and criminals is another.

One of the main things that makes modern financial markets work is trust. If I buy shares of a US-regulated stock, I have some confidence that it's not an out-and-out fraud. A great example of this is WeWork. The only reason they're not public now is that going public in the US requires a fair bit of tightly regulated disclosure. When the world finally got a proper look at their numbers, the scam unwound.

That's obviously great for people who might have purchased the stock. But it's also great for every company who wants to issue stock to raise money. The more people trust that major-exchange stocks are real businesses, the more readily they'll put in their hard-won cash. That's good for everybody: investors, entrepreneurs, and the economy as a whole.

As we've seen with Bitcoin, unrestricted "financial innovation" leads to a lot of incompetence (e.g., MtGox), market manipulation, and outright fraud. So I predict that none of these "permission-less" platforms will ever amount to much until they tackle the same regulatory problems that successful markets everywhere have been forced to tackle.
> Lisp isn’t really a functional language — it’s a usual language that also has some functional ideas inside.

The idea that "functional language" means "purity" is something that was retconned onto functional programming in the 90s decades after Lisp had defined functional programming to mean programming in terms of expressions that produce values.

I like the ML/Miranda/Haskell lineage of languages a lot, but it really bugs me when people in that camp lay claim to some notion of being a "better" functional language than the older Lisp family. (Lispers, while smug about many other things, are generally less smug about how "pure" their languages' approach to functional programming is.)

This is like arguing that Lagavulin isn't "really" whiskey because real whiskeys are made in the US from corn mash.
I don't care about the default DE that much as I run my own minimal setup, it's more about freshness of packages/kernels and stability for me.

Unbunu provides a nice middle ground between the very stable but very stale Debian (stable) and the and the bleeding edge of something like Arch. Ubuntu does nice stuff like releasing newer kernels for LTS releases but the NIH annoyances have grated on me for the last few years (Mir, Upstart, Snap etc...).

Here is why I want a simpler web: The NewYorkTimes wont be there! Neither will google or facebook or shopify or influencers or clickbait even! I want a web that is hard to make money from. Something that doesn't support fingerprinting and ad tracking, where my interests aren't at odds with the "platforms".

I want a place where people are posting ideas and creations and info and software and labors of love for free, with weird one-off communities that don't get embroiled in national censorship debates.

I might even want the relatively high barrier to entry, the fact that other people there would be looking for the same thing instead of being directed there by browser defaults and content portals.

Adverse situations create more waste in general. Ideally, nurses would be throwing out N95 masks often.

But takeout has been extremely wasteful the whole time. If you're just realizing this now, well, good job?

Restaurants are incentivized to make you feel like you are "getting your money's worth". The best you can do is pickup food that is wrapped (eg subs or burritos), and push off as much of the accessories as possible.

Or obviously reduce, which has always been more important than fauxcycling.
