Transpile X.org Server to Rust
Transpiling and then optimizing + rewriting the X.Org Server code using a project like C2Rust would fix many of the problems X.Org is criticized for and why Wayland was created.
A new, modern code base in a language which makes it easier to contribute, memory and thread safety and with some extra effort a more modular and extensible system.

Wouldn't it make sense to improve the current X situation and give the new player Wayland some competition?

Pre-Jio in 2015 and before, I could never understand what was going on in the minds of the top management of telecom companies in India. Why couldn't they think from the point of view of a consumer? I used to wonder hadn't they heard of a Win-Win strategy where both consumers as well as business are happy. At Rs. 250 per GB per month (if you recharged only once every month) how was an average Indian consumer to watch video or play games on the internet. 1 GB quota would be used up in only one or two hour of 1080p youtube watching. It was like if someone sold you a television with cable connection and told that you can watch only for two hours a month. How demeaning and idiotic would that be? How come the top telecom players prior to jio never realized the pent-up demand for video consumption on the internet? It is still a wonder to me. It is this behaviour of the incumbents in 2015 and before that prepared the telecom field for true disruption by Reliance Jio.
I don't find the analogy working for software (a large structure is hard to change).

Software is always easy to alter, hack in some code here and there, move some functions around, add and rename files. The larger the software the more places to make changes.

It's unlike a physical structure where a 1000 tons wall really can't be moved.
> Pseudonymous publishing has a long and respected history.

Well there's definitely a history of authors publishing pseudonymously. I don't know of a tradition of keeping the identities secret even after they've been revealed. Unless legally mandated as it is in come countries[0].

I mean someone afraid of getting killed for their writings would certainly not make it obvious who they are and then rely on others not mentioning it. There's certainly no tradition of that.

The whole phenomenon of "doxxing" as I understand it is something new. In the most radical form the ask seems to be that you should outright not mention any information about a person unless it has been explicitly volunteered to you for publishing.

I guess the problem here is many people publish publicly on the Internet not expecting much of anything. And then after they become notorious they may regret giving up their privacy. So there's a new push to create a stronger norm of what's considered private and who's considered a public figure.

> [Ari] Ojalvo, [C.E.O of Reef] cites his own experience in the restaurant industry...
to note that opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant is high-risk and expensive, whereas ghost kitchens are lower-risk, offering a more affordable way for entrepreneurs to enter the business. In most cities, opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant requires a gauntlet of permits and inspections; restaurateurs waiting on permits might find themselves paying months of rent for space they aren’t yet allowed to use. Reef’s kitchens are registered as mobile food facilities, which tend to have fewer permitting requirements. Like the trailers themselves, the business details are configurable: Reef offers flexible staffing arrangements and short-term leases.

What’s interesting is that this is, in part, a response to things that aren’t as fast as the (increasingly online) marketplace itself, like finding a suitable storefront for a restaurant, building out a commercial kitchen, and all of the waiting for permits and licenses, which together impose a number of risks on a new business.
If you have an issue, the onus is on the institution to fix the problem. It doesn't matter if you're part of a lab or not, your advisor has a boss, and your university should have a support network. If it doesn't, then strongly consider going somewhere else. It also totally depends on you. I understand that in the past a lot of people clashed with my PhD supervisor, but I never had any issues as a student (and we got on well).

What you need to ask is: does the instutition side with the academic in cases of misconduct (e.g. inappropriate behaviour?), or do they side with the student? Do they have a robust pastoral program? Would the students say that they feel supported?

I can categorically say there are awful advisors in all institutions.

A friend got a position in Cambridge. While their advisor was on vacation my friend - innocently - set up a group Slack. When the advisor returned, friend was accused of trying to steal the group. It was a bizarre situation.

I know people at less well-known universities with more mundane issues, like not being supervised, and it's taken them years to get the department to do anything.
I think you've got the same misconception as quietbritishjim above. Start stacking quantifiers, and the symbols get hairy much faster than the English does.
The long term answer is likely automation. (Same answer as Lyft and Uber)

My guess is short term it’s a matter of checklists with largely common underlying ingredients. Or perhaps everything is prepackaged and unfrozen upon order. (The larger the menu, the more likely the former)

Badpower Vulnerability in Fast Chargers Might Make Phones Halt and Catch Fire
The year is 2020. Emperor Xi of the communist dynasty rule China. After ruling a good chunk of the world the British have forgone their empire in favor of just being really good friends with the ones who have the most money and natural resources much to the same effect. The HRE has been replaced with a different conglomeration of peoples in the same general area. Russia is ruled by what's basically a czar/emperor and suffering a pandemic.

National borders and systems of government in mainland Europe have been somewhat unstable ever since 486AD. I don't see why the difference between the HRE and Germany matters. The point is there's a strong central European power. Other than a few upstarts being added to the list of "countries other countries have to take seriously" things have been pretty much the same.
The thing is why does everyone seem to forget here that some people don't have money, resources, family, environment or location to get access to many things that could help. Poor people surely will get happy if they get money, right? Surely therapy without a single worry in life will help them, right?

Do you tell others to think about how happy you could be in a few years when they are sad? No, you don't.

Do you encourage systematically poor people to suck it up because things will get better?

Same mentality is used to justify racial injustices and inequality. Things will get better in future so suck it up for the movement. These people are in pain and should be able to stop it if they see it not worth it. Obviously there can be some time period such as a year or two before you can access euthanasia. Otherwise, it's cruel to let people suffer for years in false hopes.

Strong typing is not only about linting, JSLint already does that.

I always used to collect any of those niche trade publications I could - you can learn a lot about an industry from the trade pubs (it's like a microcosm of supply chains and inside information).

Personal favourites were ones specifically for hotel designers, packaged food companies, airline service suppliers, and boat builders.

If you ever want a reminder about the scope of opportunity there is in the world, look for the niche industry magazines. They're a delight.

I can't really see how not reading the list would require dishonesty towards others.

It's probably a good idea to live your life as if you were going to die in 10 years anyway. The chance of this happening is non-negligible unless you are very young.

Similarly, as far as minimising risk of illnesses goes, 99% of what you could do is what everyone should be doing anyway: eating healthily and exercising.

Fundamentally, the paradox here is that the extra stress caused by reading the list is likely to be much worse for you than the consequences of not knowing what's on the list.
That sounds great and good to see AMD cpu as intel has been very problematic in last few years (especially on linux, but windows as well), 32gigs ram for that money is great when thinkpad t495s comes with 8gig ram soldered on the board.

Same here. Let those at higher risk pool take it. Might cause problems 5 years from now but then Covid will probably kill them if they catch it so it makes sense for them.

A rushed vaccine is not for all though, might even ruin the human race if billions take it and 12 years later we learn of x and y problems.

This is outdated. PSA is a very valuable test as it can flag you for new tests that can be performed short of a biopsy (4kscore, genetics, MRI, ultrasound). And biopsies are getting better at detection as well.

From my experience accidentally ordering from some of these places, the answer seems to be “you don’t.”

I’m not opposed to the idea of ghost kitchens in theory, but in practice, the food is almost always mediocre and the costs are designed around being able to profit alongside the fee-laden third-party delivery service model.

That means optimizing your food and labor costs and spamming a million different types of restaurants so you can try to attract a wide swath of customers.

For the end user, it means paying a ridiculous premium (especially once all the delivery fees, city-specific fees (at least with Uber Eats in Seattle), handling fees, driver tip) to get poor-quality food that definitely tastes like it went from freezer to flash fryer, delivered — and usually delivered lukewarm at best. No thanks.

Restaurants are already suffering right now and I’m sympathetic to actual kitchens who are trying to traverse a pandemic while also being fleeced by external delivery companies (it is unrealistic for most non-pizza restaurants outside of a densely populated area like New York City to employ their own drivers/bike delivery folks), particularly since I don’t cook — but as a consumer, I avoid all ghost kitchens at all costs. If I’m going to pay too much for delivery, I want it to at least be real food.
I am at this point not convinced that you are actually trying to understand, but if you read the text you linked, it says:

> If a plan is fully funded, the minimum required contribution is the cost of benefits earned during the year.

The USPS however, needs to fund not only the current year’s expenses, but also all expenses for the 50 following years. No one else needs to do this.
Ditto, as a Python dev I find Rust a lot prettier.

The problem is he jumped. He didn't have access to health professionals who will assess him before he could die. He wouldn't have jumped if he knew he could die in a more peaceful and controlled manner without shame. An euthanasia facility would have given him a second chance if it was properly maintained. They don't let you kill as you pass the door. They will make you wait, have you try things to help you before you could sign off the paper to die.

I don't see why it should be illegal. it's like being against addiction control centres.
Also from the article:

> As a child Yanai [Uniqlo's founder] was scared of his father, who would beat him for not finishing his breakfast quickly or spending too much time reading after bedtime. But a sense of duty lured him home after he graduated from university and he took over the family enterprise as its employees began to retire.

Doesn't get much more Japanese than this.
Yeah I've been on t495 for almost a year and, it's a blasphemy I know, but i'm happy I upgraded from t420.

And I know people with intel-based thinkpads (both linux and windows) complaining about horrible performance because intel power management.

Hopefully the trend will continue I used to put intel everywhere but today I have no problems with AMD (especially on linux).

That said my t495 came faulty from factory (trackpoints button not working properly) the quality issues are well documented if you search for that (iirc toms hardware chief editor wrote about that as well) but they changed it for me for free and upgraded to ryzen7 for free as well, that's a fair deal I would say.
Nonsense. Catching cancer prior to stage 3 is HUGELY important. With prostate cancer it can be cut out or irradiated with a high cure rate at stage 2. Once it spreads though you are in a very different course.
Should have stressed the "over time" part more. Yes PSA is sensitive to sex and sport (esp. cycling), and also to inflammation. Plus you personal PSA value depends on the actual size of your prostate.

That's why getting an early PSA baseline is important, so you know what value is "good". Also you might not want to take drastic action based on a single "bad" PSA.
It all boils down to... Rust compiler itself is written in Rust, and Python is made for humans.
There's no 'pretence' involved in not reading the list. I'm perfectly aware of my mortality. I just don't see any value in placing bets on what's going to kill me.

Trains are how the courses try to help folks move from blind processes to understanding.

A person can wonder if it would be better to start with understanding. (Personally, I only briefly taught that age but my oracle for how to teach it, Mr Barton, does say that experience shows you have to have down the class's ability to mechanically solve before you introduce the trains. The other order, apparently, doesn't work when you try it with actual students in practice.)
I think you're talking about cancer screening rather than the hypothetical in my post. I was not suggesting that no-one should ever get screened for any illness. But it's a balance. Too much screening and testing can be just as harmful as too little - or perhaps even more so. Prostate cancer is actually a classic example of this (see e.g. https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/the-pros-and-cons-...)
As a political stunt, Polish government has chartered this plane to deliver medical supplies to Poland.
What a sight!

However, the costs were insane - around $3 million . Transporting the same amount of cargo with 777 would cost about $1 milion.

But the political stunt was priceless.
Seems like the pot is calling the kettle black and waiting to blast it for its retaliation. I wonder which way we will spin it. Fun times, this was probably going to happen earlier if not for covid. What really kicked this off? Was it when they stopped accepting the world's garbage? Cant recall if we were poking them this hard before that..
Since you seem to be unwilling to follow a thread, let me guide you where I assumed we currently are:

1. You seem to recognize that there are incentives: "which may include perpetuating slavery"

2. I wrote that you seem to do exactly that, that they can "create negative results".

3. You took issue to my use of "create", you only think Capitalism exacerbates negative results because it's just so brilliant that it can't help itself.

4. I argue that in fact, capitalism does not only exacerbates, but also creates and enables the incentives because of the institution and enforcement of private property that comes along with Capitalism. Without private property the incentives that create the negative results would not exist.

5. You nicely list some other characteristics of Capitalism and then change the subject to chattel slavery and "voluntary" exchange again. You also make up some argument that I've apparently suggested (which is false): "private property rights necessarily extends to ownership of people".

Can you please follow the thread of discussion?

We're looking at adopting GraphQL and for writing a CRUD app it seems insane. Being able to project out individual fields seems like a niche benefit for bandwidth constrained devices. Instead of doing joins in an RDBMS you write a dataloader which merges select queries. The queries themselves seem like a lot of repetition in the client codebase, plus the complexity of the server-side implementation.

Am I alone in thinking this is a ridiculous solution to replace traditional REST endpoints?

Immunotherapy, where drugs target specific mutation mechanisms, is making massive improvements lately. I have seen bone scans from metastasized patients before and after, where most metastasizes were gone after a couple of weeks of treatment. Unfortunately today these drugs only work for a small subset of all tumor mutations, so it will not work for everyone and even if it works, the tumor might mutate and kill you anyway.

Huge fan of Uniqlo, we're very lucky to have so many of them in London.

The clothes tend to be the right side of 'fashionable', ie the cuts are modern and flattering, the price is very comparable with and often better than the other UK high street rivals, and most importantly the quality for the most part far surpasses everything else in the price bracket. It's (generally) far better than buying from Zara or H&M, which feels very 'fast' in comparison.

The GAP comparison is probably apt, although one thing I really appreciate about Uniqlo (especially compared to GAP) is the lack of branding and logos. You can easily build a complete wardrobe (work/pub/play) - especially if you're buying base pieces. Which is probably the reason they get a lot of love on /r/malefashionadvice/.

Getting rid of the USPS has tremendous national security implications. It's a "network" that doesn't rely on the internet.

Just to clear the air here. The posts that you are talking about were either for company blogs, or casual "I don't care if they live or die" kind of posts.
