> If it keeps coming back it's not eliminated is it?

Yes it is eliminated. If it's not eliminated, it can't come back.

If someone removes all the rats from the house, so that there aren't any, we say they have eliminated the rats.

If, later, someone brings a rat to the house, we say they have brought rats back to the house and now we need to eliminate them again.

Elimination is an action, the action of removal, and eliminated means the removal is now done. It means the thing is gone. It can still come back later.
I really like matrix, but there is one important feature missing : threads.

Once threads will be implemented, I am sure matrix will grow a lot more, especially inside enterprises.

I hope the merge will help with that. Best of luck both teams.
That should already be possible via HDMI-CEC.

Unfortunately some devices don't support it, but I would guess most streaming sticks/boxes do.
My website which is entirely built in react (and uses Gatsby).

Takes 4kb to full page render (1 file - static only - JavaScript disabled).

That’s smaller than most any html+css especially if using some css library.

Of course once that is loaded and if JavaScript is enabled, then it will start to load interactive stuff and prefetch (which is around 100kb - but I have a lot of interactive stuff - including a zork style adventure Easter egg in the site header).
All those cross-border trucks have drivers, just like the ships importing stuff into New Zealand have crew. Unlike ships, the trucks don't just stop at the border and unload - they go on to destinations within the country, use trucking facilities along the route, etc. It's the people that're the main risk rather than the goods they carry. (Though when trying to eliminate the virus altogether even rare events can be a problem. There's some evidence that Covid may have spread to a NZ quarantine hotel worker via a contaminated surface and nearly escaped into the community. Obviously, the bigger the country the more likely rare events are to occur too.)
Does anyone have a raspberry pi hardened disk image for this? I just don't have time to troubleshoot all these things anymore
That is true but employers insist on people having bachelor's degrees. That's the problem so you have lots of people going to college that really only want to focus on career growth.

Also these same employers are always complaining about how the new grads don't have the "skills" they want.

They do not provide a static IP but do attempt to cover the seemingly most-common case where clients request it: "The most common reason people request a static IP address is to point external DNS at a site hosted with us. As part of our hosting service, we provide our own special DNS records for each site that you can link to external DNS using the CNAME capability that work even better than static IPs. These records preserve full fault tolerance and load balancing."
I didn't see an answer that explains how WSL is better than Linux proper, at least not in case when you don't care about Windows itself.

AMD is fine for gaming, I'm using 5700XT on Linux for playing games. And AMD will match Nvidia higher end cards next month. So I don't see any reason to use Nvidia for that.

WSL offers nothing for gaming or similar use cases that regular Linux can't. If you need to use CUDA with Nvidia hardware, you can do it on Linux proper just fine, you don't need WSL for it - Nvidia provide support.
The common question is where do your freedoms end and mine begin? Are you free to drive drunk and put others at risk? What about smoking in restaurants?

COVID appears to be fairly contagious, and spreadable by asymptomatic people. If you are out being 'free' while asymptomatic and giving X number of people COVID, you are infringing on their freedoms. It's not as simple as you wanting to be free to make your own choices, when your choices can impact someone else's freedom.
68k is an architecture series and this compiler will target the whole series including the later models which are equivalent to Pentium, and the Coldfire processors which are still in production.

So 68k really is comparable to (32-bit) x86.
Great idea with 1 fatal flaw: it requires my TV to be connected to the internet. NOPE.

Besides the fact that many TV manufactures are owned by Chinese government subsidiaries, it's simply not safe to connect a TV to the internet. Who's collecting and selling the data? Why are they taking screen captures and sending them off to who-knows-where? Your TV spies on you[1].

Instead, my TV stays offline and I use an Apple TV. At least I know they're not selling my data to advertisers, and the experience is quite good.

There is no science showing antibody prevalence is required for herd immunity either; you need to cite something ..... (but you might want to look at: [0]).

Everywhere except Sweden implemented legally mandated strategies -- often with police and military enforcement - that were designed to limit virus spread, including places that had just-as-bad-or-worse death outcomes such as NYC, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and France.

Really, almost nothing can be said for certain, and it's definitely possible for Sweden to experience a second wave soon, but it won't if this virus' dynamics is similar to other viruses - which, by all studies, it very much is.

Weird, because we're using web components at my workplace to build complex web applications. We use Lit-Element as a base class and have come up with a top-down functional state pattern for data that removes the need for two-way binding. If a sub-component needs to update its state due to DOM interaction, it just fires off an event with info about that DOM interaction, and the data store for that component (another web component) does the necessary state modification, then fires off a "state-changed" event that tells all associated components to update their state from the "master" store (one line of code). All of the data elements use pure functions to do state modification, so doing complex operations is simply a matter of composing the appropriate functions. I've not used react myself other than playing with a few demos, but another developer on my team says the pattern is very similar to how react stores work, and the core modules that drive it are like 100 lines of code.

You might want to consider reading my reply before you start spouting nonsense about right-wing forums, it might answer your question about why I chose taxation as an example of something which is seen as normal in current society but might be seen in a totally different light in some imaginary future society.

It might help you understand that your rant is misplaced since my comparison only works because taxation is seen as something normal in current society. Had it been seen in the light you portray it the comparison would not hold.
I don’t know if Google TV is just a launcher, but I can answer the question "what is a launcher?"

On Android systems, a launcher is the home screen plus a little more. iPhone doesn’t have this concept as there's only one "launcher": the home screen. On android, however, you can install apps to radically change your home screen layout. Some are terminals, some are just A-Z lists of your apps, etc. A launcher on Android TV would be more significant because it would probably include movies, shows, and music instead of just apps.

> Flattening the curve does not reduce the area under the curve, it just spreads it out over time to prevent the hospitals from being overloaded.

In fact, Yes it does. Flattening the curve means that less people die because hospitals are unable to deal with a sudden flood of cases in a narrow period of time.

Moreover, as doctors have more time to focus into figthing against covid damage instead to give priority to just keep as many people alive as possible, sequels are also less serious

Less people died means that area under the curve represents a lower value now. The problem is that the common people are not always familiar with statistics. Both curves have a total area of 100 of course but this is a percent from a value. Not the value on itself. 50% of 10 is not the same as 50% of 3000.

> most of the deaths would have happened anyway

But not all of those, and this is a big difference

This exactly what I was saying, just made a wrong choice of words.
Totally... I really had to defend my decision to script my own backups to a friend of mine. He said 'why didn't you just use duplicati like everyone else'.

But duplicati is very big and doesn't do exactly what I want to do (which is not backup as such but more like archive). Also this way I had everything in standard formats that I know I can still open in 30 years if I want to. I've been bitten by commercial backup software formats before, had to install a Windows 95 VM to load really old backups :)

I also wrote many mini applications in work that have been used for many years at no cost, eventually being replaced by off the shelf stuff which did much more than we need and as such was much more complicated for the users.

The IT world is really too focused on off the shelf products right now. Homebrew can be a really efficient way too.
If you already have the shield may as well stick with that. But if you don't have the shield the prices are quite different and the Google TV may be more appealing.
There's an interesting article on the topic published in 2012 [0, 1, 2]. One aspect the paper talks about different causes for the current situation. One of them being, "The ‘basic research–brute force’ bias".

> The ‘basic research–brute force’ bias is the ten- dency to overestimate the ability of advances in basic research (particularly in molecular biology) and brute force screening methods (embodied in the first few steps of the standard discovery and preclinical research process) to increase the probability that a molecule will be safe and effective in clinical trials

I'm old enough to remember the Vietnam War and the AFL-CIO of the day was staunchly anti-communist and pro-war. Most of the opposition to the war before Nixon became president came from the pacifist left and student led organizations like the SDS.
Hey, sorry, I unfortunately cannot delete the comment so just responding to acknowledge. The 'temporary visas' are dual-intent so they are intended to be for immigration as well. There is no fraudulence there.

Unfortunately, I cannot discuss this further.
One important distinction is that GPS has no per-user cost.

While I agree the decisions the US government has made about GPS have been exemplary, we should at least consider whether a government owned ISP would look more like GPS or USPS. The gov. isn't always the best when it comes to pricing.
Alacritty has fewer features (by design) i think. Alacritty is more supposed to be used with something like screen or tmux while Kitty has tabs, splits and so on.

> So, what you are saying, is that compared to say, the US, Sweden has been subjected to a truly draconic lockdown.

Exactly. Coronavirus truthers point to Sweden only as an example of a country that avoided a catastrophe despite not instituting a lockdown, then change the subject when you talk about what Swedes actually did do that they are also not going to do.

It fits under the standard argument "We don't need to do [X] when [Y] would work just as well. We're also not going to do [Y]."

Sounds like we need to figure out why employers want things that are not necessary for excelling at positions.
A blanket shutdown of businesses in California is/was a bad idea. The people who want to be irresponsible will get the virus, even the CDC acknowledges that it primarily spreads via close person-to-person contact. So we have a situation where businesses are closing at an apocalyptic rate leading to a huge drop in the tax base for the state, the virus is still spreading rapidly amongst those who do not take it seriously and we(who are responsible) still suffer. Counter that in we have open businesses that see a drop in customers but these businesses see some revenue(all the while maintaining social distancing and requirement of masks inside).
Aside from standard version control uses, I eventually realized that the tickets database is just a regular sqlite database that lets you edit the schema and query any way you like. What's really cool is that it's version controlled. You can put any information you want into the tickets database and then pull changes like any other repo. You can view the timeline to see all the changes you've made to the database over time.
Yeah that is odd because in Canada it is $69.99 which is only a few dollars over the current exchange rates conversion.
Absolutely. A TV should be as dumb as possible. It's a large monitor with one video input and no speakers.
> Most of them are backed by object storage (S3/GCS)

Redshift is backed by worker instances that have their own stores in what's basically an EC2 instance. It's definitely not backed by S3 like Athena.

Bigquery and GCS are both built on top of Colossus, but they have different layers in between them.
I've taught calculus in college, and currently work in tech. I think the point of calculus in college is to give new minds a vocabulary and intuition for processes involving rate of change. I've never had to solve an integral symbolically at work, but I have had to write code to implement variations of gradient descent, which utilizes derivatives, and I've written code to sum different sensor measurements to estimate spatial location, which is basically integration. Long story short, I don't use calculus "out of the box", but it gives me a framework for thinking about things.
I use both, but don't really feel like there is a useful comparison.

My lightly patched st /feels/ better IME, but it doesn't have anywhere near the same featureset. kitty has its fancier font support and cool kittens which make the comparison very uneven.

I limit my kitty use to a single long running instance as my vim terminal, taking advantage of its far better rendering for pretty symbols and inline images via the icat kitten. For everything else I find st/urxvt far more useful, in spite of the occasional rendering errors and font selection problems. Even going so far as to fiddle with sxiv's Xembed support to weakly imitate kitty's icat from time to time.
Would it have been feasible to improve the FFI of existing common lisp implementations? The last talk of yours that I watched showed clasp to be slower than common lisp relative to C.
the intuitions from calculus are helpful for both statistics and economics and bits of other sciences: derivatives, higher order derivatives, min/max, discontinuities, integrals, etc.

however, in my last 10 - 20 years I've never actually calculated an analytical derivative. I think there might be some economists somewhere who are doing so, but in my experience that's generally because they don't understand enough about computers or modelling, and they're just roting 30 year old techniques.

The "what college is really for" line hasn't been true in a long time.

Most if not all colleges programs advertise job placement rates for graduates, earning potential, and host career fairs, all aimed at undergraduate students (in addition to what the graduate schools offer of course).

The end result is a mish-mash of idealism meets reality, and a lot of students take out loans to practice learning things that they'll not use again, all in the hoped of getting a job.
Yeah totally. Our use cases seem very similar. We still haven't transitioned to python3 at our HPC.

Well.. we do have it available but only around ~10% of the workloads make use of python3 and their libraries. We have created the two different paths in our NFS and if you're in python3 then you can't access python2 and vice-versa.

We will be migrating everything to python3 eventually but as you noted it is a big effort with a lot of possibility for chaos.
I’d be interested to know at what point the energy required for me to write in C (with a significantly longer development cycle, and thus more commutes, more time powering the office, more time running test harnesses, etc) would be outweighed by the gain in its energy efficiency over <insert other language>.
The C language shouldn't need a defer statement keyword, because it's so trivial to implement using an asm() macro that overwrites the return address.

Using a macro is more succinct:

const char *s = gc(xasprintf("%s/%s", dir, name));

Than what's being proposed:

char *s = xasprintf("%s/%s", dir, name);
defer free(s);

See this x86 reference implementation of defer() and gc(). https://gist.github.com/jart/aed0fd7a7fa68385d19e76a63db687f... That should just work with GCC and Clang. That code is originally from the Cosmopolitan C Library (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan) so check it out if you like the Gist and want more!

Please note the macro operates at function call boundaries rather than block scoped. I consider that a feature since it behaves sort of like a memory pool. Having side effects at the block scope level requires changing compilers, the language itself, and it would cause several important gcc optimization passes to be disabled in places where it's used.
DigitalOcean's network is one of the worst on the internet in regards to abusive traffic (DDOS, spam email, hacking attempt origin points.). I know this term is as good as dead these days but their SysOps are not good netziens. Abuse complaints never receive replies, their system images are insecure by default, they encourage novice users to take extreme risks in order to sell more product. /End rant.
I'm sympathetic, but I'd be interested to know whether there's also an increase in non-spam contributions. We probably need to wait a while to find out, since it's reasonable to expect the spammy t-shirt-seeking PRs to be front-loaded and the substantive PRs (if any materialize) to take some time.

edit: and it's worth saying, sometimes a newbie's first PR is pretty indistinguishable from spam. It would be ironic if one of the results of this project was teaching a bunch of young programmers that they're not needed or wanted in FOSS.
NPS originally came from car manufactures and industries that produce products that are easy comparable, I.e. how happy are you with the car? Would you recommend BMW to friends?

I don’t think it’s that great for software, but it’s very trendy. It can be gamed, like anything else, usually by sending NPS surveys to decision makers who aren’t usually the actual users.

Slightly better metric is Customer Effort Score (CEF) which shows how easy is to do business with a company.
