The breach of the capitol building is an embarrassment. There's not reinforced glass on the first floor windows? The secured interior is 3 cops in front of a wooden door with plate glass windows? And those cops just kinda slinked away letting a woman breach it and get insta killed? The outside perimeter is just a few cops in front of some fencing? What a fucking failure.
An experienced airline pilot almost certainly has zero experience moving around in zero-g. Pilots just aren't trained for moving around a freefalling airplane. There are only a handful of 'vomit comets' in existence that could provide such training, and I've never heard of airline pilots being trained in them.
Its registers are just larger. The way x86 moves memory is through registers, register-to-register or register-to/from-memory. The AVX registers move up to 64 bytes in one move. A general purpose register moves at most 8 bytes.

There are still plenty of Trump supporters on Twitter and Facebook. There certainly isn't a blanket ban.
This isn't correct. The constraints placed upon epitopes by the cell receptor vs antibodies aren't the same. Rhinoviruses and Influenza viruses escape past immunity without fundamentally altering their biology all the time!
The 2nd paper cited does in fact show functional virus with a charge-shifting E->K mutation in its receptor binding domain that escape many antibodies raised against earlier strains.
I used to engineer viruses and human immune cells for a living - maybe read a little more virology/immunology.
People don't seem to be thinking through the "NO CENSORSHIP" goal. They want to go to a site where Trump can tell people to install "freedom software" with a link to Ransomware or Malware?
I like this idea. As a still learning developer I have occasionally stumbled across code reviews on youtube, and they've been enlightening. I rarely find them on purpose (If anyone knows or runs a channel that does this i would sub).

Reading source code with some guidance from more experienced developers sounds similarly useful.

So don’t highlight free speech as a feature since you clearly do not understand the market for whom that feature is important (ie: free speech absolutists and conspiracy theorists).

What the people who actually value free speech want is sensible, non-political moderation where the free speech absolutists and nutters are muzzled but the minorities complaining about oppression are not.
Counter point:

This has nothing to do with the programming language in question. The anti-abstraction, everything must be concrete argument leads to madness. You can do type oriented design with python3 or typescript.

The over-correction will be terrible. The Left has embraced authoritarianism, so this is a grand opportunity for them. They don't want to (nor now do they have to) negotiate or do anything "incremental". They want radical change, and the powers of the state to enforce it (environmental and social justice will be prominent). The idiots who perpetrated 1/6/21 have put us in an awful place.

It's not difficult for me to get the difference: manufacturers' actions can kill thousands of people by subjecting them to additional risk without them knowing. Individuals have a right to subject themselves to risk. The food industry is regulated to avoid food contamination or food poisoning - but there are no laws against eating mouldy food in your fridge if you want to; that is on you.

Obviously, if the aftermarket product puts other people at risk, then the consumer who did the modification would be legally liable

The immune system and Covid: It’s still confusing
The best evidence I could find says 7% of the protests weren't peaceful, and those almost entirely after sundown.

You might argue that 7% has already lost an org credibility, but that's still 93% of protests that were peaceful.

Also, if you were black, how many George Floyd-esque videos do you think it would take you to see before you got physically angry? (Note that I'm partially blaming the media optimizing for outrage, here)
The primary difference I'm seeing is that one group was there to protest something you don't agree with.
How can you not? Unless you sign your app with your Dev cert, that you pay Apple for, Apple won't let your app run without going under the hood and fuck around with permissions.

IV calcifediol (Vitamin D) in early-stage COVID has improved outcomes in small randomized controlled trials.

Oral vitamin D has been shown to be ineffective at this point, but this isn't surprising: it takes a long time of sustained oral supplementation to raise levels.

Then there's a whole lot of evidence showing correlation, but as you point out, low vitamin D is an indicator of frailty. This is much weaker evidence.

I think it's likely that taking oral vitamin D before infection probably improves outcomes somewhat.

I didn’t know hp was in good standing on ifixit. I know somebody who had a good hp laptop once where the thermal paste dried up. It was a dangerous day long process to get the thing open enough to get at the cooler and involved dismantling almost every part of the laptop until they just decided to give up and get a new laptop. The person in the video tutorial they were following cut themselves in the process on some sharp metal and was super tense about shocking themselves. So if hp laptops are easy to repair now, that’s a nice change
Tiny study, just like chloroquine that is somehow still being talked about...

It honestly worries me how quick people are to jump on these band wagons. Call me when you've at least got 100 cases to review.

Well I think you've pointed out the core of why political debate often go nowhere. It has a unique way of exposing people's (myself included) fallibility to motivated reasoning and confirmation bias.

I agree that Democrats pinned Russian election interference (which did happen) to Trump (which probably did not) in an attempt to undermine his presidency. I also think this is not too far away from the norm. Remember the birther movement? The stolen 2000 elections? How do you rank claims of widespread voter fraud in that list?

However, I'll contend with you on your claim 1). OP did not say "Democrats haven't undermined democracy". He said Trump's undermining of the electoral system was just worse than the Democrats.
No serious person was saying we should abolish the police, that is just another lie from the former conservative media (former, because there is nothing recognizably conservative about trumpism). There are legitimate questions about the use of police funding for militarization, and those questions have been raised by people all over the political spectrum. There are also serious problems with the differences in how the police handle calls, patrol work, and arrests in black neighborhoods and with black suspects versus white neighborhoods. Since the 90s the alarm has been sounded about the infiltration of police forces across the country by white nationalists and neonazis. Those concerns can be addressed by well-planned police reform, which is what people have actually been calling for.

As for 20th century Europe, we are already there when armed terrorists invade the Capitol in an attempt to, as they themselves said, overthrow the government.

I started this project many years ago, but I still consider it "half baked" because it not nearly what I think it should be. Turns out, building reliable and accurate finance tools is not easy.

The idea originally came from when my friends and I would exchange details on holding, returns, winners, losers, etc. If you're an active investor and have friends who are too, chances are you've asked the same questions.
That tweet predates the capitol protest.
I still don't understand why cmake/autotools are seriously considered. If you have a tool that is hard to do complex things with (i.e., complex Makefile operations), the solution should _not_ be a tool to generate input for that tool (i.e., CMake/autotools generating makefiles). We shouldn't use a build system whose artifacts are scripts in a cruftier build system; we should replace the universal build system whole-cloth. Even the portability argument fails: if any modifications to the build system require installing the respective meta-tool (cmake/autotools), the generated Makefile is nearly-useless for anyone trying to modify that codebase in any substantial way. We need tools that do the actual building, not Makefile meta-languages.

Togetherness Table https://www.1kfa.com/table

Open source SVG/HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no frameworks) project for playing Tabletop RPGs (D&D et al) online.

It started out as just a dice-roller, but since it's so easy to nest whatever SVG thingamagic you like into it, it's been expanded to do card decks, tokens, and a thing I'm calling "Dynamic Trays".

Dynamic Trays do the gruntwork of RPG calculations. Sums, tabulations, even "exploding dice".

There's still a lot to do, every time I add a feature I think of two possible new ones. I've got to say, SVG is *really* nice. I think many developers would have the first instinct to do this in an HTML Canvas tag, but SVG does so much heavy lifting for you.
That's not really interesting as it's not at all practical. The deluge of spam will render these platforms completely devoid of value.

PAE was also used for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Datacenter Edition. Server machines at the time capable of holding 64GB RAM were beasts, IIRC on the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars. A desktop machine with 512MB memory was considered way more than you needed. I used a Toshiba Tecra 9000 laptop with 256GB for mostly Java and C++ development and never felt like I was anywhere near maxing it out.

PAE might not have met Amazon's needs for holding their catalog or whatever. If they were trying to directly address a data structure that was larger than 4GB, they would have needed some sort of trickery as PAE was usually implemented kernel side to provide separate 4GB address spaces to individual processes with more than 4GB total physical backing.
Good point. I think it can go both ways. Either society disintegrates and any hopes for grandious climate fix projects will be gone, those left will try to adapt; or with some luck during the next decades enough people in power will act soon enough to at least start fixing the problem. Some forerunner disasters and fear can help there.

They don’t need to expand anything. We have all the tools we need to identify, arrest, and incarcerate the perpetrators.

Additionally there’s ample ability to deplatform them and their supporters through the agreements they signed with social media companies and payment processors.

The free market won’t have trouble deciding that these traitors are done with both public life and making enough money to ever have to pay taxes again.

Moreover, we are all well within our rights to practice the conservative principle of not doing business with those we find repugnant.

The press speaks for the establishment, because to a large extent, that's who owns it. It sucks up to power and reflects its biases.
You can make multiple spike proteins that target the same receptor.

This generally happens when a virus from another animal (and thus with a slightly different version of the receptor) adapts to humans.

Basically, a gradient descent from a very different starting point ending up in a different local minima.

The question is, is the spike protein at a local minima (very probably quite close to it), and could it jump to another local minima then? Most likely not.

It's possible it will evolve to make our antibodies slightly less effective, likely as a trade off for infectiousness, but incredibly unlikely the spike protein would evolve to be unrecognizable to our immune systems. Historically, this doesn't happen all that often, except for viruses with chronic infections over years that can do a deeper search over the gradient, but even then it generally takes years to decades.

I think by "each system call" she meant it like "every time it calls read()", since it would be read() that was using the AVX registers. Since the example program just calls read() over and over, this could add a significant amount of overhead.

Hi.

I am a professional software developer and my full time job is currently writing software in Haskell for a bank.

I also stream projects and open source work I do in Haskell once a week.

I am not a researcher. I don’t have a horse in that race. Although I am thankful for the research that is done as things like STM and type system extensions benefit my work greatly.

I really wish Haskell could shed this meme that it’s a “research,” language and that, “nobody uses it.”

I’m Nobody. I use Haskell every day. It’s a practical language for industrial strength programming in a pure functional language.

I used this project as a training ground for a ton of different ideas and technologies. From server rendered react to typescript and design systems to how the hell kubernetes works. I went from dokku, to lando, to trying to figure out Consul and Hashicorp stuff to managed K8s on digital ocean. I decided to try to only write SQL and create my own typesafe patterns with TypeScript. It didn’t work out all that great but it wasn’t all that bad either.

This is half baked because I had so many more plans for a product no one asked for. Definitely one of the best learning experiences I had. I started with a monorepo of modules and realized that was a stupid idea for an app. I developed some strong opinions along the way. Oh I reimplemented email auth for the nth time but this time I used postgres’s built-in crypto functions. Man I like this implementation

DupVer https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver is a deduplicating version control system for large binary files. It's designed to keep state in a repository on the local machine separate from the working directory so it plays nice with cloud synchronization software.

I started it after constant headaches involving Git LFS and the corporate proxy. It's based around the Restic chunker library, with inspiration from both the Duplicacy backup software and Boar, another binary version control system for large binary files.

Right. Trump said that, but that doesn't actually change the fact that that there was no reason for anybody to be showing up to support the alt-right side of that event unless they were in fact a neo-Nazi or white nationalist. Pretending that there was a significant faction of those torch wielders who somehow weren't white supremacists is just silly. But Trump definitely didn't intend to praise the empty set with his "very fine people" comment.
