Originally they said:

>Each person’s second
dose must be from the same manufacturer as their first dose [1]

That's from the instructions to the doctors schuding and giving the doses.

That was on 30/12.

On 31/12 new guidance buried in the chapter 14a of the "green book" said:

>If the course is interrupted or delayed, it should be resumed using the same vaccine but the first dose should not be repeated. There is no evidence on the interchangeability of the COVID-19 vaccines although studies are underway. Therefore, every effort should be made to determine which vaccine the individual received and to complete with the same vaccine. For individuals who started the schedule and who attend for vaccination at a site where the same vaccine is not available, or if the first product received is unknown, it is reasonable to offer one dose of the locally available product to complete the schedule. This option is preferred if the individual is likely to be at immediate high risk or is considered unlikely to attend again. In these circumstances, as both the vaccines are based on the
spike protein, it is likely the second dose will help to boost the response to the first dose. For this reason, until additional information becomes available, further doses would not then be required. [2]

So we're still waiting for what the actual rule is. In the mean time, rather than saying "I'll get back to you" various ministers have insisted on both and a whole set of various levels in between. Including saying you can mix and match and that's A-OK! Something not supported by the links above.

It it makes you feel any better, the UKs current Conservative government is probably a little to the right of Joe Biden rather than being close to the republicans. And they're vastly below his dog in terms of communication skills, competence and IQ.

It was probably actually _more_ common to share data model code between a client and server before the web, because the clients wouldn't have been JS running in a browser but more likely would have been written in the same language as the server.

I’ve always solved this issue by keeping windows on one drive and linux on another. It does have an upfront cost, but keeping my dev work / linux environment setup has always worked well for me. Lately I’ve thought of trying WSL, but I don’t see any real benefit over my current setup
WSL2 uses hyper-v. You can only run either hyper-v or ESXi (VB's hypervisor) at the same time.
Looks like it just splits by 16MB chunks, so just standard deflate. Actual compression is handled by the python zipfile module, which is probably C code underneath.

This is absolutely true, and the model was also usually one of fatter clients and thinner servers. In some cases the server was just a database.
The operator overloading is nice but you still get smacked in the face right away by the borrow checker. Simple stuff like this won't compile ("use of moved value"):

let a = Integer::from(10);
let b = a + a;

"The country’s 5G networks still lag compared to promises, with the average 5G download speed reaching 690.47 megabits per second (Mbps)."

I assume most of these people are using this speed for cell phones. 86 MB/s sounds really great for a phone, and better than a lot of people in the U.S. have in their homes. This should only get better as well.

Assuming the technology is safe, this will be a major game changer for society.

This is awesome! Especially because word2vec and it's derivatives are much more useful in some cases than transformers are.

For instance, they store the vocabulary. I can query for similar words, or do vector math and convert it back to words. That is much harder to do with transformers.

Also, not surprised at all that this kind of bug made it through inspire of how popular word2vec is. NLP is chalk full of tiny bugs like this and there is all sorts of low hanging fruit for interested enough researchers...

It's sad that the only way to get treated fairly in a situation like this is for your story to go viral and cause bad PR for the company. There are probably dozens of apps in similar cases which did not make the front page and are out of luck, at the whim of Apple and some random reviewer.
You say that correlation doesn't equal causation, then throw out theories with no research to back it up.

Could you be a bit more scientific with your argument?
That's a rather distasteful argument to make and reminds me of Covid deniers blaming underlying medical conditions for deaths.

> Not to mention there scould be space enough oce serious space colonization gets going.

Even with the current falling birthrates, you would not be able to move more people off the planet than are being born on it, even with space elevators. Space colonization is not a cure for overpopulation of Earth. One of the things Kim Stanley Robinson explored in his Mars trilogy.
>Marines do have an answer, although with a great cost.

Do you mean an individual cost or societal cost?

I think one of the ironies about the human condition is that we value things that we’ve sacrificed toward much more than the things we have not. E.g., Marines have esprit de corps in part because of their sacrifices not despite them.

The strongest connections are often made through hardship. To think we can have that connection without a cost doesn’t seem congruent with how we’re wired
Thank you. I absolutely refuse to get into retro computing. I refuse. I’m not going to. So I don’t think your amazing work has me at all interested. I have enough hobbies, and my wife knows it.
the main benefits of OKRs might be transparency and alignment, not having a quantifiable goals. I am dating without much success for more than one and a half years now, and I have yet to meet someone who might be open to build something together. I regularly spend money on platforms like tinder, veggly, okcupid with a hope that despite corona, it might contribute to such a development. Still I did not put much effort in my activities there, as I wantee to keep it playful and not follow up on it as I would with a "real goal". I feel unhappy about my lack of progress in this area and I hope that for this new year, acknowledging it as a committment will help move this forward.

Not anymore. The new Ampere based Quadros and Teslas just launched with up to 48GB of RAM. A special datacenter version with 80Gb is also already announced:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/a100/

They are really expensive though. But chassis and rackspace also isn't free. If one beefy node with a couple GPUs can replace have a rack of CPU only Nodes the GPUs are totally worth it.

I'm not too familiar with 3D rendering but in other workloads the GPU speedup is so huge that if its possible to offload to the GPU it made sense to do it from a economical perspective.

It is profitable as the running costs are very low, but currently my income is only around $1k-$2k/month. It started as a side-project but I have been working full-time on it since last year when the gaming company I was working for went bankrupt.

Being a dev I am too focused on product and I always want to "fix one more thing" before marketing it. As my savings got lower the product got better, I think I am now at that point when I can start finding customers without having to worry that "maybe my product is not good enough".

What's likely caused hijackings to fall off a cliff is a) reinforced cockpit doors and b) the knowledge of crew and passengers that the hijackers might be homicidal.

Pre-9/11, advice was to cooperate, get the plane on the ground, and negotiate/assault, with pretty good overall results for the passengers. That is... not the advice today.

Uyghurs are important to a large part of the economy, but it’s presumably possible to discuss parts of it without discussing Uyghurs at every stage.

Uyghur forced labour is certainly widespread and bad. I am not sure that it’s fundamental to the Chinese economy though. If we say that there are 20 million Uyghurs (which is a very large overestimate), out of 1.3 billion that’s not very much. Moreover the current strategy of forced labour mostly began in the 2010s, so all of China’s previous economic strategies managed to proceed without the use of forced labour. And sterilisation means that they’re unlikely to be relied upon economically in the long term—elimination and economic exploitation are very difficult to reconcile, as indeed the Nazis found.

If you’re discussing some market in a small village far from Xinjiang—of course forced Uyghur labour in some way impinges on it, but, well, it would be odd to discuss the camps as the most important determinant of what’s going on in those camps at all times. You can’t develop an understanding of the whole without understanding the component parts, and that involves occasionally e.g. reading articles that don’t mention the Uyghurs.

The obvious analogy is the Holocaust. Nobody complains about books about the Nazis that contain e.g. chapters mostly concerning matters other than the Holocaust. That’s for good reason: you have to pay attention to the other components too, even though the aim of extermination is an important overall reason to understand the Nazis.

In the frame of my original comment, i.e., ‘at what level should one focus on specific individual parts even at the expense of overall important atrocities?’, I agree that discussing the economy writ large whilst ignoring the Uyghurs would neither lead to a good factual understanding of the economy nor be appropriate morally. But the question of poverty alleviation in the Han heartlands to me is a discrete one that (a) is important to broadly understanding the economy and (b) is a sufficiently narrow topic to be discussed without necessarily focusing on the Uyghurs.
That seems extremely unlikely. The Renderman software they use has no issues rendering at 4k.
I could be wrong, but IIRC Hugo Boss was one of the companies that made Nazi uniforms, but did not design those uniforms.
I've recently come across the same issue with DAWs. Settled on having multiple machines and switching the drives if I need to reuse a workstation for something else. Most of the time you can dedicate cheap systems to specific utilizations, it will save you time and effort. e.g. There is no reason for your DAW machine to also be your gaming machine as the hardware requirements are pretty different.
That was an issue with US guided missile cruisers when vertical launch came in. The launchers just show as little hatches in the deck. There's usually a modest gun turret, the only visible weapon. There are some Close In Weapons System units, but they just look like machine guns.

The USSR built ships with much more visible armament on deck, facing outward. Partly because it looked fierce, and partly because they didn't quite trust their missiles not to launch straight up and come back down on the ship.
I'd see it as more about PR.

If poor desperate people regularly see these kinds of badass weapons that a foreign power has, it's just going to be that much harder to recruit for organizations that violently resist oppression, because the individuals you need are fearful and demoralized.

Then you need crazy things like religious indoctrination that promises rewards in heaven for fighting such an unassailable power.

This not needed. You can use iD (default in-browser editor) without direct tag use.

On Android you can use StreetComplete that has no exposure to tags or tagging schemes and requires 0 OSM-specific knowledge to use (except creating OSM user account).

Visible wavelength cameras rely on relatively cheap CMOS sensors. CMOS processes have been squeezed for efficiency for decades to make, for example cheap DRAM.

The technologies behind thermal cameras are very different because they need to be sensitive to wavelengths 10x longer than visible light (the silicon in CMOS is basically completely insensitive to light above 2 um, whereas thermal cameras need to image at ~10 um). The pixels are effectively microbolometers and rely on more exotic materials like Germanium.

^ extremely underrated comment.

This is one of the primary promises of MVC in the first place: views can be rendered independently of controllers and models. For a given controller method call, a view can be specified as a parameter.

In this case, swap "view" for JSON sent back over the wire...
I guess you could make the argument the PR is effective against idiots.

My point is letting the PR call the shots objectively makes us weaker (the F-35 program is a clusterfuck), so it's harming us against enemies that aren't idiots. I'm pretty sure China loves the F-35 program because they know it's an enormous weakness in the US military.

But yeah, you have a point. Idiots can be harmful too, and they should also be considered as potential threats.
I created "Mixed CRM" https://www.mixedcrm.com/

to solve my client's problem: collaborative sales of apartments in realtime. later on, added automation features got generating sales offers/contracts/agreements, then a payment plan editor, and later on added activity tracking and more advanced user management etc ..

Pretty successful start, and getting many real estate businesses who would like to give it a try, a few more clients and might become my full time project of 2021.

Spider and Web‘s climax was a complete rush - I was puzzled for quite some time until the solution hit me over the head. So satisfying. Best IF game I‘ve ever played.
It seems like there may be value in writing up a template for vulnerability comms:

“Hi folks, a new vulnerability has been disclosed (CVE-####-####). We’ve assessed this vulnerability, and it doesn’t affect our infrastructure because [we don’t use the affected software|we don’t use the vulnerable configuration|the vulnerability is mitigated by other security controls].”

If the worst impact of naming vulnerabilities is that security-related technical staff have to politely decline a couple meeting invites, I’m going to consider the practice an overall win.
Ah nice, I didn't realise you meant application proxies/gateways. Network ones are so quick due to their ASICs etc!

I personally would still say 50ms is super, super slow for an application gateway - a well designed one using e.g. nginx/openresty, lambda@edge, or simply writing another application server etc can easily do that job with an addition of <0.1ms processing time (assuming no additional network calls or heavy work), and maybe 0.3ms for additional connection establishment if it hasn't been optimised to use persistent connections.

If it is e.g. making a DB request to check auth, I would highlight that this _is_ backend processing time, not inherent or unoptimisable overhead. e.g. it's totally feasible to do auth checks without making any async calls, just need a bit of crypto and to allocate some memory for tracking revoked tokens - does add a bit of complexity, but likely worth it for the super hot path.

BFFs would not really need to add anything beyond ~1ms or so, but you do hit the lowest common denominator - in that you have to wait for the slowest thing to complete, even if everything is happening in parallel.

BFFs definitely benefit in simplifying client-side code, but at the downside of increased overall latency and potentially resilience which could be achieved by decoupling unrelated components.

As such, I wouldn't expect the Atlassian products to use BFF patterns - for them it's better to throw 1k requests down a single HTTP 2/3 connection and render each part of the page when it's available. I have heard their FEs are very complex, which I think would probably support that assessment.
That's why the F-35's nickname is "Fat Amy".
