When I looked into it I was shocked at how many people have long term affects after the flu. One of the studies I saw in a comprehensive paper looking at heart swelling and the flu showed a shocking amount of this in even non-hospitalized flu patients! [0]

Apparently any virus that attacks the lungs and.or nervous system leaves behind a lot of damaged people. Most of the time things like heart swelling go away after a couple months. But some people are permanently damaged. This can happen with all viruses, even the common cold kills people, and there is no indication yet that this virus is any different.

I had a "Beyond Burger" the other day. It was larger than you'd ever get from either BK or McD's, but it was still a licensed product.

The flavor was pretty good (if a bit too "meaty" as it were), but the texture was very wrong. There were sizable globs of rubbery material in them which was a bit disturbing (think Pearl Tea style tapioca, only 2-3x more resilient). It was as if globules of gristle had made it into the final product, bypassing the grinder.

I figure he is probably trying to take credit for Starlink making decent Internet available to the Rural population of Canada. It was interesting how he let Rogers, Bell and Telus hide under the Umbrella of "Canadian Media Companies" to insure they had no competition from US Carriers under NAFTA 2.0.

I was surprised they even allowed Starlink since it could threaten the potential business Rogers, Bell and Telus could have sometime during the next century.

They provide CUPS drivers even for my $50 HL-1112 "Windows Printer" (you know, one of those that doesn't have built-in PCL or processing, it needs everything rendered on the PC). I know the networked ones are even better.

Not using ChromeOS though so can't comment on that.

nope
Their business notebooks are well built, so there's that.

I can imagine HP printing to have 0 fans, though.
Probably because what AAA game developers actually use is strictly Visual Studio, not C++.

Whatever is first class for GUI users on Windows in China and Ukraine is going to impact AAA game development far more than any non-GUI technology.

It's not really about tooling. I'm not saying tools. Just Visual Studio. Visual Studio decides what will appear.
You can't say they are guaranteed to terminate since they are not executable languages at all. Of course a language could be implemented with JSON syntax, but whether it was guaranteed to terminate would then depend on the language semantics, not the syntax.
If you go by the Koran or Bible, pork is forbidden. If you go by the Bible, most (if not all) bush meat would also be forbidden.
This feels like a semantic non-sequitur. Maybe that's actually a great example of core of the problem at hand!

You're trying to argue a conclusion based on the specific word "donor", but many of these "donors" (or in this thread's case potential "donor") don't see themselves that way; they are not interested in "donating" with no strings, it seems like they are more interested in "patronage" or some sort of "sponsoring", where their money is not no-strings, but instead conditional on some specific threshold of level/quality of support/service.

Perhaps we just need a bit richer vocabulary for these discussions; if the project author is only interested in unconditional donations, that's their prerogative, and you're free to fork or fund accordingly. But also recognize that at the margin, "donate with no strings" is a much tougher sell for enterprises than "patronage will buy you X quality of service".

So if you're actually making an effort to turn an open-source project into revenue, I think you'll probably need to listen to your potential customers/patrons a bit more and give them the assurances they are looking for. Again, any open source author is free to do as they please! But as the GP notes, bringing money into the situation complicates things, and I don't think it's reasonable or rational to expect companies to start throwing donations your way without listening to what they want to get in return.
This place seems like venting outlet for random people working in tech - the startup tone was drowned out years ago.
DaVinci Resolve 17
Here in the Kitchener-Waterloo region of Ontario/Canada, the local McDonalds ran with Beyond Meat burgers for about a month (maybe April-ish)? From what I could tell, it was very successful (often sold-out, and anecdotally the workers told me that it was the most popular new thing they'd seen in a long time). For my family, we went from not having eaten McD's for years to getting it occasionally.

However, they stopped it suddenly. So the fam now goes to A&W since they have Beyond.

Anecdotal evidence that doing meatless right in fast food can be a driver of growth, higher margins, and bring back a key demographic that otherwise wouldn't dream of setting foot in there.
I'm going to guess no. There are lots of comments that provide context for the various statements, and there are lots of commented out lines that are probably from prior iterations. Additionally the formatting is not consistent (aka human like). I've definitely written vectorized ASM that looks like the before.
> In order to find less invasive means of controlling covid that respect privacy we ended up limiting freedoms much more and for longer.

There is limited freedom during a lockdown, but a short sharp one can lead to almost complete normality soon after. Short and sharp or long and drawn out?

The drawn out option would seem a dubious freedom. My perspective is heavily skewed by being in NZ and reading US and UK news.
This looks like a very similar approach to that taken by Boghossian, Pluckrose, and Lindsay in using a prank to test and illuminate journals engaged in poor scholarship.

Entertaining, but clearly very necessary.

I haven't worked in the games industry so please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't game development culture one of rushing crude hacks out the door at the last minute? Rust seems like a poor 'culture fit' in this regard.
I agree with you, but there are plenty of poorly educated gamers who think that 'developed in Unity' or Gamemaker means the game can't possibly be good. (All evidence to the contrary.)
It sounds like SOLID the protocol requires the pod server to have access to your data, because it requires the server to both enforce access control and deliver plain text? That is not what I want as a consumer. I want something where I don't have to trust the server at all, i.e. everything is E2E encrypted - and if that's not true, that's not a protocol I want interacting with my personal data.

The comparison with email is apt, because no one in their right mind would design email as it is today without E2E encryption baked into the protocol.
Will people forever speculate that they have real meat in them?
For 95% of all game developer the future is a engine like Unreal or Unity and your scripting language of choice.

The rest, triple A titles and engine developers may chose something else, but the inertia of C/C++ will make that a very long process.
So what in the language prevented them from doing it that way? What in the community ensured they didn't do it that way? Firefox is open source, and yet it still happened.

"Best practices" is such a red herring. Best practices = don't write bugs, too; yet there are bugs. You can't evaluate a language in theory and ignore what happens in practice any more than you can with any other thing in life. It's the UX, does it do what users expect it to do, and is that the lowest friction path possible to achieve the goal. "You're not following best practices" is basically "you're holding it wrong". While arguably true, it is an attempt to excuse a bad design decision or impedance mismatch.
Maybe create something of value first.

If you came up with a transporter you could make trillions in the shipping industry.

If you are part of a small group who knows the person who created a transporter you can be the first setting up services around that and make billions.

If you are the last person to discover you have to beat everyone before or discover something new.
I bought a printer at the beginning of COVID just to print Amazon return shipping labels, etc. that I used to take advantage of the office printer for.

All I really wanted was a wireless printer so I could stick it somewhere out of sight (small apartment) and be able to print easily. I settled on an HP because it was a good combination of cheap/decent reviews.

Setting it up was such a pain in the ass, including instructions telling me to install what I later found to be the wrong setup program. Now I have two separate programs (one that I can change printer settings including changing wifi networks, and another to use the scanner). It doesn't seem right and I feel like I should only need one, but whatever it works right now and I don't plan on changing anything until the printer or I die.

That feeling of dread and uncertainty is all too real for me.
And, many printers pick up the spilled 'self cleaning' ink in a tank, and when it's full they refuse to work any longer. It a total scam.
The Kopyleft thing started in the 60s with the Principia Discordia. Same with the "do as you like." It has nothing to do with Wikipedia.
US. I believe they got these vaccines through pharmacy chains like Walgreens or CVS. This is one of several ways people get vaccines here—it's common for seasonal flu shots especially to be available at employers (medical staff travel from one employer to the next) and pharmacies (sometimes even grocery stores with in-store pharmacies) in addition to the general practitioners' regular clinics. I think for the first dose they got it wherever was convenient—probably the pharmacy where/when they were picking up a prescription—and for the second they looked everywhere for months.
If all the dev wants is street cred, then great. I'm not telling anyone what is good for them.

I'm arguing against a norm that I see as being frequently one-sided and occasionally actively destructive, and for something like the Norm of Reciprocity in this narrow case of feature requests on open source projects.
I think Rust would eat into C++ more than C#. Microsoft is pushing C# and the tooling fairly hard right now.

Performance is pretty good and even though Rust seems like a rising star, it won't reach C# levels of tooling for quite some time.

I don't think the population of studios that chose C#'s performance and convenience over C++ but would now choose Rust is all that large.

But hey, lets start talking about bindings. We could be changing all these C#/C++ engines into C#/Rust engines.
They slaughter 80% of a given mink farm stock every year for their fur anyway — after raising in horrifically unpleasant stacked, cramped, caged conditions which are ideal for disease spread, mutation and recombination with coinfections.

Sweden already has around ten detected SARS2 outbreaks on mink farms and is planning not to cull the entire population for the above harvest cycle related reason; the survivors will have ‘more space to socially distance’ and a ‘resultantly lower herd immunity threshold’.

Dense factory farming of all kinds is a biohazard nightmare.
> Some states have very strict regimes that compare to Switzerland's, and in some you can just walk into a store and buy long guns if you're of age.

Which is exactly why the regulation in the US does not work; Anybody who disagrees with their states particular laws can just cross into another state to get their fix there.

That why any proper regulation needs to happen on a federal level so individual states won't act as a loophole.

> Concerning the "dog shoots owner" headlines, you should ignore that sort of thing. Those sorts of incidents are super rare. They hit headlines /because/ they're rare and therefore interesting.

It's something that should be non-existent, I haven't seen it anywhere else in the world. But only a couple of days ago there was yet another example out of the US [0].

These are the kind of absurd situations that simply do not happen in any other place as other places lack the "firearm saturation" that enables this in the US. So something that should be improbable, still ends up being a regular thing.

I agree with the other commenter that "deserves" is a strong word.

If you want to sell something for money, you put a price on it. And people decide to buy it or not.

If you give it away for free, going back after the fact and asking for a donation is fine. But I don't think it's required. And it doesn't make people who choose not to donate bad in any way.

He should probably figure out his next business and get to working on that. Start a business, sell a thing, profit.
That'll be changing quite soon, especially at high latitudes, with no action from local entities. See: Starlink, and maybe later other LEO constellations.
True, but I guess I am not asking about a direct competitor with stocks. Something that can be worked on and built up over ten years (requires more upfront than stocks), something that I'd be willing to spend some time working on after retirement (not entirely passive). There should be something that given a bit of elbow grease and time can provide a better return than a passive market investment.
Russia has been meddling in our elections since the Cold War began[1]. China, Israel, and every other power "interferes" in our elections, too, just like we do to them.

What was disingenuous of the US media was to make a huge deal out of 2016 shenanigans by Russia without any context, making it appear to the average voter that it was both significant and unique, neither of which is true.

The intel community and major media spent 3 years and tens of millions of dollars looking for something illegal or even unethical that the Trump campaign did related to Russia, and nothing was found.

The idea that there are "too many checks, rechecks, processes ... to commit fraud at the scale needed for a large election" is absurd in the US where the whole national election can be determined at the end by a single large county in one swing state, as happened in 2000. Now realize that 45 states were required to haphazardly design and implement, in 3 months, a mail-in voting system on a scale with which they had no experience, we'd expect a lot of errors that aren't even malicious.

Add in a flurry of state governments quickly passing various laws to swing things to their favor as happened in all the swing states, and you have a recipe for disaster as we're seeing.

> it's demoralizing that we've reached this point where misinformation spreads at the same rate as good information.

This has always been true. It's a fundamental part of the human story, an emergent property that arises from the cost to produce misinformation compared to the cost to discover the truth.

I didn't hate it, I thought the core thesis was really valuable. But I agree there is a giant problem with almost any "self-help" book - you can deliver the pitch in one coffee meeting but you want to be able to sell books so you pad it out.
Agree. Yes, I am talking about a true MRR.

It always makes happy to get a MRR even if its a small amount when you are just starting up.
True, I don't even bother with colour laser, it's no good for photos, just for graphs and coloured text.

But really the rare occasion I need photos printed, I just order them.

I've found it works substantially better as ground meat because you don't get that squishy texture. We've added it to pasta, tacos, and various things now and it's worked out well. Just add some turmeric, chili powder and cook in some cumin seeds.
Turing incomplete languages are not necessarily niche or a pita to use. For example SQL (before version 3) had no recursion yet was very widely used. Even today, I'd guess 99% of written SQL does not use recursive CTEs.
> However, the data presented is not the final analysis as it is based on only the first 94 volunteers to develop Covid so the precise effectiveness of the vaccine may change when the full results are analysed.

Thanks! Misread the 94, but the n=43.5k is also misleading since they have not analyzed all of the results and duration of the study vs exposure risk is still tbd. If the 94 participants that got COVID also abided by all the other precautions, such as masks, etc, then it stands to reason that the actual infection rate in the population approximating pre-covid behaviors may also be higher.
New 26M record historical database
I write to inform you about a recent significant release of a new online database for historical data, totalling 26 million records and over 100 databases, including the British Museum, GBIF, MacroStrat and many more. The website offers a free searchable interface combined with a map, the website is found at www.WorldArtefacts.com. Included in the collection is approximately 6 million archaeological artifacts, well over 10 million paleontological artifacts and millions of geological and radiometric samples.

To see the methodology please visit www.worldartefacts.com/about_project.html, and to see the data www.worldartefacts.com/about_data.html, where the data may also be downloaded.
They're also trying to municipalize the electricity infrastructure here(boulder).

FTFA (italics mine):

>in 2009 a landmark paper by the National Academy of Sciences stated what many had long suspected: Apart from DNA testing, no other forensic method could reliably and consistently “demonstrate a connection between evidence and a specific individual or source.”

The report launched the forensic science community into a crisis of interpretation, with many questioning whether its methods should be deemed “sciences” at all. Last year, the FBI announced that virtually all of its hair analysis testimony had been scientifically indefensible, while the Texas Forensic Science Commission recently recommended banning bite-mark evidence from court. In September, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a report that firmly concluded that forensic techniques relying on visual patterns fell short of scientific standards and relied on the subjective opinions of law enforcement.<

> Why do you find print better than an electronic version of the same thing?

Because it converts desk-space into "screen space", so to speak.

> easy editing

A lot of things don't really change when you're coding. For example, APIs, or "vocabulary objects" of your code. But if you really need to edit some object that's changed, pull out a pencil and write it into the margins.

Or print out the new page, and stick it into your book. No need to reprint everything. 2-hole punch + prong binder is easy to disassemble and reassemble. Comb-binder is a bit harder, but its a superior binding if you care about that.

3-hole punch is pretty much designed for easy editing: very easy to add and/or remove pages. But in all honesty, 3-hole punch is a terrible reading experience so I still prefer 2-hole punch and/or comb binders (even if they're harder to edit).

> search

You don't use the paper version to "search". (Though crude methods exist: dog-earing common pages or putting sticky notes / literal physical bookmarks into some pages).

If you need to search, search on the computer for the material. Then, open up to the page you need in the physical book. Bam, now you have a reference and can use the screen-space on your monitor for something else.

----------

A dedicated reference page (such as OpenMP Reference Cards: https://www.openmp.org/wp-content/uploads/OpenMP-4.0-C.pdf) is of course best.

Doxygen -> Latex isn't the best at automated layout, but it does get the job done. I mention it mostly because its "low effort" to convert code into a physical paper reference copy.

If you really need a reference sheet, you should manually craft a nice reference sheet in MS Word, or HTML5, and print it out. Nothing beats hand-crafted effort, but the low-effort methodologies are still worth knowing.

I have no objection to people working on open source saying that they require payment to make changes. I think anyone who gets obnoxious and entitled in response to such a request is being a jerk.

I have a strong objection to the suggestion that this be socially required. If people felt that it was unethical to make a feature request or report a bug without offering payment, most people would not make feature requests or file bugs, and we would all miss out.
The future of Game Development is about democratization of tools. With tools like Unity, GameMaker, and RPG maker it has become easier and easier for anyone to make a game. While Rust might be a good foundation for some performance critical code, I'd hardly say it's the "Future of Game Development".

Already, games use tools like Blueprints in Unreal to make games with limited to no coding experience, and I expect those tools will continue to get better and better over time.

I have heard (and experienced) OK things about their enterprise laptops, FWIW.

And I've certainly heard good things about their Laserjets back in the day :)

The current budget consumer inkjets seem to be pretty awful; though I wonder how much that's the fault/state of entire category - I notice that whenever we talk about HP Inkjets being awful, the counter-recommendation is not e.g. Epson or Canon budget Inkjet, but a laser printer. Specifically, almost exclusively, a Brother laser :). Which is a different category.

There are professional photographers who are happy with Epson & Canon fancy Inkjets; but the loss-leader el-cheapo printers do indeed seem to be generating ill-will.
