Is there any other market where there are plenty of choices of the product but zero trust in any of them such as the 3rd party macbook battery replacement market?

Every option seems to be a gamble. ifixt is the only brand but they don't make the battery so the trust is low on them as well.

I purchased a battery for 2011 macbook on Amazon. Not the cheapest one yet it ended up giving my macbook problems and lasted about 45 mins. The seller sent a replacement and that didn't work. Later I read High Sierra can cause problems for 3rd party replacements?

The cheapest batteries on Amazon start at around $30. Is there not a market for $50-60 replacement that you know for sure work?
> OK so do you give the treatment to the 10 year old kid who has a 0.000% chance of dying or the 76 year old who has a 5% chance of dying?

You're jumping all over the place with your contrived hypotheticals. Are we still talking about AIDS?

Yeah, Giuliani is 76 years old, but he behaved recklessly and there are other old people who didn't. If we're contriving hypotheticals, why should he get it an not some elderly nurse that came back from retirement to help treat COVID patients [1]?

He got it because he was connected, and there was probably someone who had more need or was more deserving who didn't get it because of him.

[1] That is a thing: https://globalnews.ca/news/7481581/texas-nurse-covid-teacher...: "A 70-year-old nurse who gave up her retirement to train a new generation of front-line workers for the pandemic has died, after contracting COVID-19 in north Texas."
Not much, IMHO (as someone who enjoys writing C). It would still be essentially the same language, and the popularity of other languages -- whether they be C++, rust, python, Java, haskell or whatever -- come from introducing more interesting concepts than that.

But really, what made these serial killers famous is that they often tried to communicate and bask in their fame, no? I'm curious if they no longer advertise themselves, or that their letters are no longer advertised widely?

I do remember seeing the luka magnotta documentary on netflix (don't fuck with cats), which while not quite a serial killers, comes close to someone who liked the attention.
But a valid one. Sadly, people don't like to hear this at all.

And software engineers make way more money than most healthcare workers... "There's something seriously wrong with the world"...

Main reason this is so is because of scale. One healthcare worker can look after a ward at most, one software engineer can write software that affects millions in a very small way, and some onlyfans accounts hit a smaller scale but with more revenue per user on average.

True, that much is possible. But fairly unlikely, especially since Chrome's updater normally does not even pop up a GUI. We'd need stronger evidence than "I deleted some Google stuff and rebooted and now feels faster". I suppose the author did claim to have reproduced it on two computers, but only once each, and with no objective performance measurements. Sadly, there are a lot of things that can make macOS 'randomly' seem slower or faster, especially after rebooting, and with subjective measurements, confirmation bias is a huge factor.

I've been playing with OpenCL lately. Is such a shame that the support is so spotty, and even Apple(who I think started it, probably as a CUDA alternative for their AMD cards), are deprecating it.

Even with it not being able to squeeze all the perf from a device, it's still handy, especially being a cross device api.

It would've been ideal for piet, especially since compute kernels can also be run on CPU on all cores, given a CPU driver. And I think some OpenCL implementations support spirv. So it wouldn't have needed any fallbacks, the same kernels would run either on CPU or GPUs.

I'm still going to use it for my project. But, it's a shame that AMD RoCm OpenCL doesn't support running kernels on their CPUs.

Also, Rust might benefit from something like SYCL. There is some attractive convenience in having a DSL built into the language for parallel computing. But one can dream.
Somewhat, yes.

I ran Win2K in 40MB on a 486 -- I was impressed that that worked at all. XP needs Pentium instructions, though, I believe.

All the versions of Windows I've seen will run in lower than the stated minimum amount of RAM. Windows 3.0 needed 2MB for Standard Mode and 4MB for 386 Enhanced Mode, but you could force it to start in either in 1MB.

Often, they will not _install_ in less than the minimum, but once installed with more, you can reduce the amount, and they will boot and run.

My home fileserver in the mid-1990s was an IBM PS/2 with 12MB, running NT Server 3.51.

When XP was new, I think the recommendation was 128MB, in which it ran poorly. 256MB was OK, 384 usable for light use, 512MB good. My laptop maxed out at 192MB. :-(

You can fix it by replacing the awk with "cut -d ' ' -f 2-"

Haven't tested it, but you may also need to throw a "tr '\n' '\0'" in there and call xargs with "-0" to make it happy.

This will still break on files with a CR in the filename.

> Putting it in concrete terms, if you have two versions of the virus, X which for each infected person tends to infect 1.8 others, and Y which tends to infect 2.8 others, then after ten days there might be more people infected with Y than X, but X would still be around.

This is actually an observed effect in many transmittable illnesses; over time, they become more transmittable, and less deadly. Extremely deadly forms kill their hosts, ending the ability to reproduce via transmission, and the more transmittable strains reproduce effectively. This type of optimization leads to things like the common cold and flu. The scary thing about COVID19 is that it has a very long lead time between infection and symptoms, if they develop at all, meaning it can circumvent some of those "normal" optimization peaks; it can be both very deadly, and very transmittable, because of the latency in the signal.

here is the abstract so you can come to a decision regarding the informative value of reading the full publication.

"SUMMARY
The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein variant D614G supplanted the ancestral virus worldwide, reaching near fix-
ation in a matter of months. Here we show that D614G was more infectious than the ancestral form on human
lung cells, colon cells, and on cells rendered permissive by ectopic expression of human ACE2 or of ACE2
orthologs from various mammals, including Chinese rufous horseshoe bat and Malayan pangolin. D614G
did not alter S protein synthesis, processing, or incorporation into SARS-CoV-2 particles, but D614G affinity
for ACE2 was reduced due to a faster dissociation rate. Assessment of the S protein trimer by cryo-electron
microscopy showed that D614G disrupts an interprotomer contact and that the conformation is shifted to-
ward an ACE2 binding-competent state, which is modeled to be on pathway for virion membrane fusion
with target cells. Consistent with this more open conformation, neutralization potency of antibodies targeting
the S protein receptor-binding domain was not attenuated."

>Suing and collecting money from the government punishes the tax payer.

Which, to be clear, is a GOOD thing. We live in a democracy, and the tax payer is ultimately responsible and should be punished in some small way. We don't have to shut off our brains when someone up for election preaches about "law and order"/"think of the children" and accuse opponents of being "weak on crime". Everything from over criminalization to qualified immunity could be wiped with the stroke of a pen if our representatives at the federal and state levels acted. That that hasn't happened is ultimately our fault. The very least we can do is pay damages when the result hurts people.

Yes there should be more individual accountability too, but power always should go with some level of responsibility. Tax payers have power as well. It's very irritating to see people separating themselves from all that and acting so passive. Democracy isn't a spectator sport.

This is a good first effort, but I would do some retooling if I were you. It's going to take more time but you really need to find a way to make the concepts, mechanics and descriptions more interrelated.

For example, you might have a card called List Comprehension, which allows you to apply some effect X over all creatures of type Y.

Additionally it would be worth your time to hire a native English proofreader. There are several grammatical errors that I noticed, and some of the sentences are awkwardly constructed. Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like assistance in that regard.

I agree with you that it's our money, and, in the same vein, it's also our government : ).

So, IMHO one answer to your question is we can engage in activism to motivate our government to change our laws and regulations to prevent a repeat of the violation in question, and vote for representatives who also would support such things.

Like, once you find a bug in production, you fix it, and ideally then do an analysis of how it got there and what practices might be worth changing and maybe you also write a test in case someone slips up in the future.
> Maybe without the IDE, the code would have ended up a little cleaner.

When you can’t easily jump from file to file and get intellisense like completion you are forced to design modules and data models which can fit inside your head. I imagine this can be a feature in some cases and a limitation in others.

I tend to only use an IDE when refactoring, and a text editor for everything else. So far I haven’t had to write or work on code which I can’t keep all in my head; maybe I have just been lucky with the codebases I have worked on?

I never tire of recommending Evan Buswell's Undefined Intimacy With the Machine[0]. His argument is that it is exactly that undefined behavior and macroassembler nature which allowed C to be be semi-portable, while still allowing for code bumming on very constrained systems.

Without all that, C would be, well, Pascal. Which was quite popular for its time, but wasn't used to implement Unix, and didn't become the preferred post-ASM way to write software for microcomputers.

> This logic makes sense, with one exception: this assumes that the standard for release quality remains unhindered pre/post swapping the position of RHEL / CentOS.

There's another issue, which I haven't seen talked about so far. With CentOS downstream from RHEL, there were the Release Notes: before updating from CentOS 8.x to CentOS 8.y, you could read the CentOS release notes (and the voluminous RHEL release notes corresponding to it) to see if there was any breakage to expect for your use case. For the security updates within a release, you could follow https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/ (sadly non-working for CentOS 8) and/or the voluminous RHEL errata pages corresponding to it.

With Fedora, before every update I glance at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ to see if there is any known issue with the update I'm about to do; this has saved me more than once (for instance, there was a broken selinux-policy update which would relabel the whole /home not long ago). I recall Debian had something similar (which shows you any release-critical bug recently filed for the packages you're about to install). Will CentOS Stream have something like that? If I run "dnf update" and see it's about to update bash, is there anywhere I can look to see what changed, and whether someone complained about the update?

Pascal is of almost exactly the same vintage, within a year or two, has all the safety features you could want, and yet never really achieved widespread adoption other than as a language for teaching freshman programming.

The Pascal dialects that did gain some popularity, such as Borland's Turbo Pascal, generally (I'm tempted to say "always") had non-standard ways to do "unsafe" things. Turbo Pascal, in particular, let you put raw asm right in the middle of your code.

"Safe" languages have been invented many times, but programmers always seem to gravitate to powerful, if "dangerous", languages like C and (now) JavaScript.

There's probably a lesson for language designers here.
Look I just did an Oracle to OpenJDK transition for the same reason but I don't really think Java SE licensing is an example of Oracle being particularly Oracle. It's just that Oracle Java isn't free and they're doing what every company is doing switching from one-time license fees to subscriptions.
The same argument I made for SE could be easily done for health workers. They are very important.

but I'll say this: I saw everywhere how underrated health workers are, and I agree. They should be paid a lot more; even more than athletes, in my book.

I will reply with a car analogy. You can be a professional driver even if you don't know how to write the chemical formula for the combustion in your motor. You can not be a good professional driver if you don't know how to change a flat tyre or check your oil. No matter how good your driving is, if you cannot change the oil you are an incompetent driver. Maybe in the future, cars will not need oil. So good, but today they do and you need to deal with it.

Likewise, today's computer systems rely on the shell. If you are shell-illiterate, you are an incompetent programmer, no matter how good your programs are.

Imagine that many people thinking of the cloud first when imagining any project. I'm a data scientist and I run most of my projects on my workstation laptop.

Extend that to other fields and there's lots of ways to profit from tens of millions of AWS users.
We've been using Sentinel by Hashicorp with great success for this. The language is a little awkward at times, but it has deep integration with Terraform - our policy rules have access to the entire terraform state, the details of the plan/apply, etc. It lets us write very granular rules, even rules correlating different resources which would be difficult with a semgrep approach (for instance we have a rule that you can't create a route53 hosted zone without also enabling logging for the zone. The logging is a separate resource, not an attribute of the hosted zone resource).

And hell, if we extrapolate from this (shitty) line of thinking, maybe Microsoft was saying "Haha plebs if you want a dark mode that functions better you should stop being poor and only buy OLED monitors."
