-Great great news. Can't wait to get the needle in the arm ASAP.

-Seems extremely effective at limiting covid disease.

-Very curious as to how long will the vaccine immunity will last?

-Seems with the second dose for 18-55 year olds, perhaps 75% will feel fatigue, 50% have chills and 20% will have a fever.[1] This hasn't been widely shared yet and I'm a bit concerned how the public will react.

-Safety: Given the huge trial size, we can be pretty confident that there aren't any significant negative short term effects. But yet the phase three trials will follow the participants for two years. Presumably, this is to find out about longer term safety+efficacy... but yet of course we will be vaccinating most of the world prior to the end of those two years.

How are we confident that these vaccines don't cause any long term safety concerns? Other vaccines have been pulled from the market for safety reasons - what happened in those cases that we're sure won't happen in this case?

I think given the fact that "anti-vaxxers" exist makes some people take the complete opposite position to distance themselves from the conspiracy theorists- "anything a doctor injects in your arm is safe". Of course the truth is that injecting stuff in people's arms is not always safe - which is why we have trials. Were these trials long enough to know with a high level of confidence if there are any long term effects of the vaccines?

I personally don't think it means less, it just leads to different conclusions. While I still see class as the predominant factor, I still believe everyone would benefit from seeing "different" people in more spaces, regardless of class. For example, a rich black man still has things to add that a white man doesn't, for example, simply because of how being black influenced their own experiences which in turn mold the person they are now.
> I was using just regular desktop grade disks so that happened every 18 months or so.

That seems unusually bad. Up until earlier this month my old raid array has been mostly desktop drives(just upgraded it to IronWolf NAS drives though). I did finally do the upgrade to new drives because one died, but that drive was manufactured in 2011, and the rest of the drives are from 2010, 2013, and 2015. To be fair I've not gone five years with out a failure, I think the 2015 drive was added about 3 years ago(being my actual desktop drive before that), but otherwise have had good luck. In fact, I think my most recent failure may have been accelerated by my server being put into a temporary case with poor air flow.
I've not seen any of these in years now. Where have they been popping up?

Well done President Trump!

In the 21st century should we continue to use words like "cult" to refer to non-Abrahamic cultures.

The choice of words colour our view of older societies and does not give a fair and objective narrative.
Same here. I could spend hours upon hours minimaxing this, but why? Monaco is as close to perfect as makes no difference (with https://github.com/Karmenzind/monaco-nerd-fonts so a nice prompt works).

I don’t really understand why Roblox is so successful - you can invent all sorts of reasons in retrospect but it’s hard to validate them, and if you came to anybody back in 2012 and asked for an investment to build a platform where all games are user generated and run on a custom engine with a custom toolset and all users participate in a giant virtual economy and …, I think you’d have gotten a blank stare.

Interesting that he writes this. I don't believe you'd have got a blank stare at all. Minecraft servers with custom games had already sprung up, Second Life had existed and people were playing around with these concepts. The idea is sound, just needed execution and luck.
Amazing, thanks for taking the time to thoroughly answer my question!

What is with the lowercase 'f' in Dank Mono?
I am not from USA, but I did see the final Biden-Trump debate and saw the media falling all over themselves to say that Trump was lying about the vaccine, the expert opinion was that news about vaccine would show only in december, approvals would be requested only in early 2021 and distribution would be even later.

I wonder if the media will say sorry for getting that wrong.
Neither did I, so I just built a small box (maybe 1.5' x 2') with a couple small drawers for bits and all, adjustable fence, and a hinged top for easy adjustments. Fits underneath my bench. The Samurai's jig looks like a very useful addition to the shop, though, and it's now on my TODO list.

Of course. A `==` is two characters long, while `===` is three characters long. Also, with the font I use (Fire Code) the `===` ligature has three lines, making it even easier to distinguish.
Better to return a union of custom result types. Save exceptions for when stuff goes really wrong.
>> I've grown up in a period when pop culture didn't care much about cultural sensitivity.

>Same, and as unpopular it may be, i firmly believe it's kind of better to not care.

As a white dude, I've found that "not caring about it" means "only white male characters are allowed"

I've noticed that folks who "don't care about it" actually care A LARGE AMOUNT, A VERY VERY LARGE AMOUNT, when a non-male or non-white protagonist is the only option. And heaven forbid we not let you play a straight character...

Just saying, in my experience, "don't care about it" is literally identical to "marginalize everyone but me", as that's our history.

The example I provided shows that people with actual skin in the game think that it impacts the market which to me is one of the best indicators that it actually does.

The impression that I have of people that play such games makes it seem plausible to me.

Voltage drop is minimally impacted by battery size, it only helps in that the battery would have less usage, but it still ages for time passing.

So what is a good or best practices solution to this? I was thinking you could branch the graph line 10 days prior into two lines, the top line being "projected", the bottom line being "actual", with labels, and maybe with a shaded area in the middle.
Twitch is more a resource for the platform than a competitor. It's true anyone can watch the clip for free, but with this tech, some users will be owners of signed versions of them. We are also planning gaming features similar to magic cards and sticker collections for users to engage in.

Can types solve that problem?

How would typing detect the missing authorisation check in the program flow?

Surely this is a case where testing is the correct tool to use?

As someone who has done work on a sort of "Darwin subsystem for Linux", seeing the death of WSL1 has been really sad. Linux is one of the few OSes where this kind of approach really makes sense, since it's open source and has a small, very well-defined, stable ABI that you can implement and everything should "just work". Of course this process can be tedious and complicated, but I mean it is so much easier than what Wine or Darling is doing on a closed-source OS at a very different layer in the stack. It's of course obvious why WSL2 exists but its existence brings a great sadness, like Oracle buying Sun or Google killing off Hangouts and replacing it with whatever they're using these days.

Ah yes, once there were standards and committees, now you have to beg the power that be to let you in. Brilliant.
And there are plenty of women who find this custom distasteful. Some women want a wedding which displays opulence and in which they are treated like a princess. Others want one which more implies the equality of the wedding partners in responsibility and capability. Others want a humorous circus or something that emphasizes the roles of their community in their future lives. Many don't want to start their married life, or any stage of life, with a financial setback.

Why would the media say sorry because experts said something else? Why would the media be held accountable for what others say? Their job is to report what is happening and reporting what the experts say, seems to be exactly what they should be doing. When the experts are wrong they report that but they shouldn't be expected to be apologetic about it.
Quoting the article:

>Does all of that matter? Yes, I think it does. As I have argued here many times, fiction is often how the public conceptualizes the past and that concept of the past shapes the decisions we make in the present. Is one video game going to lead to a return to colonialist thinking? Of course not. But a culture in which such sanitized narratives are common is a culture far more willing to make those decisions; these stories matter in the aggregate. And so it is incumbent on designers and developers to construct their stories and their worlds with care, especially when they are set in the very real past.

> Trump was lying about the vaccine ... I wonder if the media will say sorry for getting that wrong.

If you lie on a prediction that turns out to be true it still is a lie. He also said covid would not be an issue in the US, and that covid would go away in the summer, and that we'll have a cure in "a few weeks" every week since March. You can't just throw random ideas out and see what ends up being true to say "eh, told you I was not lying"

Sputnik 5 is a live virus vaccine, Moderna and Fizer are RNA vaccines with, hopefully, no live viral material as such.
This will save lives. However I imagine most people will end up getting the Oxford vaccine, that doesn't have the storage requirements or need a second dose and is a fraction of the cost.

I work for a winner of a similar type of award. The tech quite predictably went nowhere. There was an initial surge of interest and funding, all of which was squandered. Primary issues ignored while making more science fair demonstrations with deal-breaker issues of their own. It's been a ride, I'm looking for work.
>will be done by making and watching videos.

Arguably, it's the case today to some degree with company meetings/team meetings/etc. typically recorded for people who couldn't attend live. But it's pretty low bandwidth for most purposes to communicate basic facts in the absence of interaction. I for one rarely listen to recordings of meetings I miss and I assume I'm pretty typical. For many purposes I'd much prefer a 1 page email.

It's like all the how-tos on the Internet that don't really have a visual component but are a video anyway.

Because it's predatory. I'm not sure if it's intended or not but your question seems to be in really bad faith.
Same. I'm not an anti-vaxxer or anything like that. But I think "don't use version 1.0" advice applies here just like it does for software. Especially given the possibility that things have been "hurried" in the name of expediency in terms of getting the vaccine(s) developed, tested, and approved.

The good news, in a sort of perverse sense, is that some delay to see what happens with "early adopters" is kinda inevitable anyway, due to the distribution logistics. Unless you're a health care provider, first responder, or in a high risk group, you'll probably have to wait a while to get access to the vaccine even if you want to take "version 1.0".

Some routers have a height fine adjustment screw accessible through the base plate, some even come with a wrench for turning it, so if its upside down, you can just adjust it from the top like what was built on that page. A problem with both approaches though is that the plunge mechanism has some play in it, so it's not ideal for this job.

I'll be honest, I've never grasped the perspective that sees typography as a meaningful aesthetic property of code. I mean, when I look at code, I'm not appreciating it as visual art, I'm reading it. Usually the point at which that stops happening is the point at which my brain is tired enough that it's time to go do something else for a little while and recover.

So, as long as the font I'm using doesn't actively impair legibility, which is a pretty low baseline, it doesn't really matter - and in any case, if it's a visual aesthetic I want, I'll go do it in Illustrator where I can actually have precise control over every aspect of that aesthetic, instead of forcing my programming environment to double as an installation art piece.

(DejaVu Sans Mono, in case anyone cares, or Menlo on Apple hardware since it doesn't want installing. Haven't changed it in what must be close to a couple decades by now; somebody sneakernetted me a copy of Vera Sans Mono in my earliest days of moving up from the helpdesk and I never looked back. Doesn't changing fonts impose a cognitive overhead of its own for a while?)

...all of which is to say I favor brutalism, I guess.
I have no interest in these games, nor do I expect them to have any historical merit. My only observation is that the hard points of this article appear to be that the game aggressively asserts cultural superiority of the Norse over the evil, or, much worse, weak willed Christians who appreciate being shown non-Christian views; as well as as vaguely racist depictions of weak Saxony. Whatever your views on Christian (or Saxons?) this feels like a bad take. They want to make a story about how Vikings were unilaterally the good guys rather than a group of nomads who like all other humans wanted to take prosperity and geopolitical power, but only had a bunch of weapons, boats, and muscles (no need to prove me wrong on many technicalities here).

Yet contrarians here seem to anchor on the inclusion of other races and women as the "bad pc" to be debated.

Vikings invade England, pillage and massacre the English, yet they are still seen as the good guys.

Not sure what you mean by sexism.

But there are differences in the sexes with regards to the process of conceiving and rearing a child. And it seems to me that a big part of our social constructs that were developed to deal with those differences can be reduced to "the man doing something expensive and hard to fake". Which isn't really that different from "the man proving she matters to him by buying something".
