ohhh, that's a tough one. @StateObject is definitely making things easier, but the trick we've used for now (we’re still targeting iOS 13) is to wrap ViewModels in @State in a parent view, and pass it down to your view as an @EnvironmentObject.

When the subview changes/re-renders, your ViewModel stay the same on the parent view and is not recreated as it is a @State; and your subview can still listen to @PUublished changes.

We've made a generic wrapper for it, and we use almost everywhere:

struct ViewModelWrapper<V: View, ViewModel: ObservableObject>: View {
private let contentView: V
@State private var contentViewModel: ViewModel

init(contentView: @autoclosure () -> V, vm: @autoclosure () -> ViewModel) {
self._contentViewModel = State(initialValue: vm())
self.contentView = contentView()
}

var body: some View {
contentView
.environmentObject(contentViewModel)
}
}
There is no secret, that Germany isn’t a country with decent wages. I can see a ceiling somewhere at €100k before taxes. If you are single, you give half away for taxes, if you are not, then you have family expenses. Living like a student I could save €36k yearly. Now it’s only €15-18k. Considering moving to Switzerland, but it’s simply too expensive with family. And good sounding CHF 135k aren’t that impressive with local prices.

For me the issue is less performance and more correctness/completeness. Mathworks has teams of engineers working on their toolboxes, which helps a lot for users that need features and needs them to work correctly.

It's been some time since I had to use Octave because I didn't want to pay for a Matlab license, but I recall remez() didn't properly implement the Parks-McClellan algorithm and would return suboptimal results (which is a problem, when the algorithm is intended to find the optimal solution).

What is the likelihood of finding a compiler bug vs a bug in a framework (or a missing method, or undesired side-effect, etc ...) I suspect that for most types of software work many orders of magnitude more for the former. Software developers can go their whole career without encountering a compiler bug and can basically assume it is flawless even they they read blog posts and change-logs informing them that it is not. But they likely will encounter an issue on every single project they have their framework that irks them. Maybe this is just my niche of software though (web-based, enterprise, saas type software). I could imagine those working on system software in lower-level languages fighting the compiler much more.

Assuming that it is held in a taxable account. For most people, for most of their portfolio, it will probably held in a tax-sheltered account (e.g., 401(k) retirement in US).

If you've maxed out all your sheltered accounts, and are worried about dealing tax events in non-sheltered ones, that's a pretty good position to be in—financially speaking.

There may be other ways to reduce risk if you belong to the at risk population, though.

Those statistics all have to be taken with a grain of salt. Like if it says "x% of some population will die from some thing", it could mean "x% in the population tend to be reckless" (like "x% of people under 30 will die from base jumping", but it is easy to avoid by not doing base jumping).

In the case of Covid, perhaps not living in an old people's home (in March) could improve your odds by a lot.
It largely depends on what access it provides. If it allows for painless international travel then I'll get right away. While covid-19 is no where near as deadly as yellow fever, in my mind it's not much different if there's access restrictions. I always had to carry my yellow card but I can't recall actually having to show it to anyone even when it's clearly listed as an entry restriction.

Governments and corporations have a very good history of doing shady stuff and rushing things when they shouldn't so it's not wrong to be sceptical based on history. To me it's about evaluation of risk profile and what you want to do.

Neither of these points are relevant to the purpose of this article, however:

The table showing Google's suppliers left out IBM and their POWER9-based datacenter systems. These include but are not limited to GCP offerings: https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/google-alphabet/google-l...

In the same vein, I must admit that I was impressed by the work these monopolies poured into the Open Compute Project. AFAIK, OCP datacenters are rare outside of these companies, but they are one of the net goods that have come out of tech monopoly vertical integration.
AFAIK NewPipe does not even use API, it parses UI, so it breaks when the UI changes.
Density is complicated. On one hand, raw population per square kilometer is obviously a useless metric for epidemics. It's trivial to understand that taking a small country with a few cities, and adding a vast uninhabited area will drive people/sq.km towards zero without actually changing the actual density where people live (See Canada, Sweden, Australia and many others).

So it's not people per area. Perhaps a better measure is "mean distance" between people? That means Australia is pretty dense because most people live in dense areas. Urbanization is obviously a much better metric than raw density.

But this also misses another important factor: Australi, and Sweden (which are sparse but urbanized so low pop/sq.qm but low mean distance), unlike the UK is pretty "disconnected". There are clusters with high density, but they are separated by areas of low density.

It's likely better in an epidemic to have 3 cities with 1 million separated from each other, than 30 cities with 100k people each, where people in each cities visit/commute to the next 5 cities. That's what some places like UK/Netherlands/Belgium have. They are extremely dense in the sense that it's always close to the next population center. There are no natural borders or empty spaces.
People from city A work in town B, and some fraction of people in town B work in city C and so on. Towns A and Z are connected by just a few days worth of normal commute for thousands of people.
Thanks for posting this. I spent some time looking at how "de-Googled" GrapheneOS is. If you define "de-Googled" as meaning the phone makes no connections to Google servers that you do not explicitly acknowledge/permit, then GrapheneOS is still far from "de-Googled". Just to give one example, SUPL. There are also plenty of unGoogled-Chromium patches GrapheneOS doesn't apply. I'm not saying GrapheneOS isn't way better than the Android that ships on phones, but it's misleading to pretend they care about de-Googling as a first tier priority.

GrapheneOS does do some privacy oriented work, but it's far more focused on hardening.

I look forward to examining /e/ and CalyxOS since their focus is more heavily on privacy. For my use cases, I'm less worried about hardening than privacy.

Also, it's a lot of work to keep Android both up-to-date and de-Googled. I started patching GrapheneOS and realized I did not have the bandwidth to maintain the patchset. And still had no good answer for SUPL. Hopefully CalyxOS and /e/ have maintainers with the bandwidth.
They used the vaccine on 5 people and gave 40 people the placebo.
There is an important difference here. In Lunatic all syscalls are non-blocking, they are not just offloaded to a separate thread. However, they look like regular "blocking" functions from the developer's perspective. Under the hood Lunatic uses async-wormhole[0] to make this work.

> Who is we? Is it epidemiologists? Because I think they would disagree with you.

So basically, people who agree with you are “epidemiologists”, and people who show you facts you don’t like are “anti-science”.

“The new agreement calls for G.M. to sell fuel-cell technology to Nikola. Gone are provisions for G.M. to take a $2 billion stake in Nikola, and for G.M. to produce an electric pickup truck for the Phoenix-based company. Nikola said it no longer planned to produce that pickup, the Badger.”

No, but there have been plenty of people in the US gathering unnecessarily, not for essential work, but in large groups for Halloween parties and bars, with extended family and older relatives for Thanksgiving, and are likely to gather multiple times for Christmas once again.

Now unsurprisingly the pandemic is out of control, hospitals in many regions are overcapacity and the overworked essential healthcare workers mentioned are sending patients hundreds of miles away to the nearest available bed.

These gatherings are selfish and completely avoidable. If these multiple vaccine candidates are as promising as they are sounding, people should hold off a few more months on social events until this vaccine starts getting deployed to the highest risk crowd.
Yep, what really happens under the hood is dynamic register allocation at runtime. I wonder how important is static register allocation by the compiler in that scenario. In theory, even if the compiler uses the same register over and over in sequential instructions, the renamer should be smart enough to detect the false data dependencies and allocate registers from individual instructions to different locations in the register file.

Are there any x86 profiling tools which give any metrics about the real utilisation of the register file?
While I agree that we should have moved faster, even if you approved a vaccine candidate in days it's not clear who you'd vaccinate in a targeted campaign to "complete prevent" the pandemic.

Being able to produce vast quantities of this stuff rapidly is ultimately going to be at least as important as streamlining the regulatory process. After almost a year we don't have even a fraction of what we need to vaccinate the population.
The problem with those studies is that they’re based on cashflow. Yes more cashflow doesn’t increase experiential happiness after a point.

But it turns you into a wage slave. Turn off the cashflow and everything collapses.

Wealth gives you happy levels of cashflow regardless of working for it right now. Hence it creates freedom.

You won’t be more happy by having wealth, you’ll be more reliably/resiliently happy.

Sure, but that doesn't make it any more affordable for the average person.
Honest question: would you wait if there was a pact to the effect that either everyone takes the vaccine, or no one does?

Because obviously not getting vaccinated when everybody else does is almost always the best choice game-theoretically speaking; it doesn't really say anything on the vaccine (it may say more on the civic sense of the individual).
The evidence seems pretty compelling that sugar / carbs are bad.

A lot of the things humans put in their mouths just aren't safe long term. We're pretty good at making suboptimal long-term choices.

The conclusion doesn't follow. Perhaps the lockdown was the reason people were vigilant? If so, then the mere news of the lockdown made people vigilant and aware of the severity of the situation. It would make sense that peoples' behavior changed early then. And unless one could have conveyed the severity to the population in any other way - the lockdown was "Necessary" even if just as a means of signalling.
It does work, though. It just runs through Rosetta like everything else that hasn't been updated yet.

What stopped people from having someone else do their take home tests before the pandemic?

On a more constructive note, it seems pretty simple to require some portion of responses to reference the lectures such that only someone who attended the class in this semester would be able to correctly answer, for example "use the method we discussed in the first half of lecture 3, use the third of the four numbers I told you to write down that day as variable y, if you weren't in class that day instead do X" If a test comes back and someone claims to not remember the material from any classes but still got everything right, that warrants scrutiny. If someone currently enrolled in the class is helping a person cheat, you can use standard anti-cheating techniques like comparing answers.

I mean, maybe this one will, but the research regarding sleep duration is very, very sound. We are talking upwards of 50k people. Effects of sleeping too little are tightly and consistently associated with Alzheimer, cancer growth, bad emotional control, mental disorder episodes and heavy machinery accidents.

I would say sleep is where cigarettes were in the late fifties or early sixties:

Researchers and people who deal with the matter professionally already know too well how severe effects are. Ask for example ER-doctors in countries with summer/winter time, who are preparing for heavy load every time the switch makes people sleep an hour less. Yet, the vast majority of people, even quite knowledgeable ones, deny any negative effect of missing sleep, caffeine is freely available in children's products and sleep-deprived truck drivers flatten family cars every week like clockwork.

The problem is my recall and laziness. I didn't look into the details of what parts of HyPer were borrowed and I missed the adoption of the DataBlocks [1] storage format. DuckDB is designed to be an embedded HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) engine.

I think the project is immature and the documentation is sparse. I expect to see detailed documentation on default file locations and the recovery process for an OLTP/HTAP engine and I didn't see anything like that in the DuckDB docs. My bad, I should have checked my assumptions.

I would not adopt DuckDB as an OLTP replacement for either SQLite or PostgreSQL without a strong OLAP component and some serious performance/load/integrity testing, but it sounds like you are confident in its abilities. Thanks for sharing your experience.
