>can blunt your immune system response

(Not a doctor) From listening to the "Faucis" of various countries (incuding the original): I believe that the vaccine is not a watered down virus, so technically you are not making yourself vulnerable/more sensitive to the virus. It is suppsed to 'teach' your body how to build the defence.

Only the Chinese virus is a 'watered down' version of the virus. All the others (including the Russian) is an RNA-type-thingie.
Several considerations here:

1. If holding off AstraZeneca vaccine does not affect vaccination rate during the investigation period, it is a prudent thing to do.

2. If vaccine rate is expected to drop, number of expected increase in death per day due to covid vs blood clog should be compared, if we were to minimize short term death.

3. More concerning is unknown effect that could take a long time to materialize. This is a tough call to make since any effect is only theoretical at this point.
Of course you ask a reputable one, e.g. head of CDC etc. otherwise prepare to get in trouble with journalists.
I'm not saying that kids won't try some VR games if given the chance.

I'm saying that they don't care about chasing the purported innovation dragon and don't view video games as an elite and hip pastime.

For them it's just a guilty pleasure that they do while taking a break from actual life.

As such, they'll gravitate towards the local optima that get them the dopamine rush faster and easier. Betting on VR as the "next big thing" is the wrong bet.

Regardless of all that, there’s a lot of luck involved. I’ve soared through technical rounds because I got lucky with interviewers who asked me questions I could solve in the time given. In many others, I received questions I was likely never going to solve because I had never seen them and it was required in order to pass from this interviewers mind.

Either way, you’re acting defeatist if you think that not getting into FAANG the first few times is proof that you’re garbage or something. Many people get rejected and get rejected after they’ve gotten an offer from them before. It’s not a good system.

Also, how do you not have every problem solved if you’ve truly been working at it for 5 years? 1 problem a day would have you solve every single one.

Great idea. Disclaimer: I’ve never seen an EV up close.

How do you access charge data from a vehicle? Does each EV model have Wifi that it uses to transmit charging data to a remote location like Tesla.com and then you view it in the Tesla app or does it use Bluetooth and that data is not transferred over the internet but only to the app?
Good question.

If you use the fillRectangle method https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/1.2/Vrmac/Draw/iDrawC... to draw them I think you should get solid fill. That particular API doesn’t use AA for that shape. Modern GPU hardware with their rasterization rules https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d11/d3... is good at that use case, otherwise 3D meshes would contain holes between triangles.

If you render them as 2 distinct paths, filled, not stroked, and anti-aliased, you indeed gonna see a thin line between them. Currently, my AA method shrinks filled paths by about 0.5 pixels. For stroked paths it’s the opposite BTW, the output is inflated by half of the stroke width (the mid.point of the strokes correspond to the source geometry).

You can merge boxes into a single path with 2 figures https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/1.2/Vrmac/Draw/Path/P..., in this case C++ code of the library should collapse the redundant inner edge and the output will be identical to a single box, i.e. solid fill. Will also render slightly faster because less triangles in the mesh.

THat works great if you don't die.

That doesn't work so great if you don't die and have lifelong complications, though. It doesn't work so great if you get it and kill your child/grandmother either.

It doesn't work so well if you have to catch the virus multiple times to have immunity either (folks aren't always immune after catching it). Not to mention the unknowns with mutations of the virus.

It is seriously much better to try to avoid catching the virus at all. The virus means you might be ok... or you might die, or you might have a lifetime of suffering that you wouldn't get with a vaccine.

Seconded. I feel that the pagination style that Relay offers is typically better than 99% of the custom pagination implementations out there. There's no reason why the cursor impl can just do limit/skip under the hood (if that's what you want to do), but it unlocks you to change that to cursor based _easily_.

products(first: 3) {
pageInfo {
hasNextPage
endCursor
}

Many pushing a carbon tax have far too high an expectation of how the impact of a tax would fall. Without a lot of other systemic changes and programs implemented in concert with a carbon tax, the market would allocate much like it it has as already - only optimizing profit with a carbon constraint without regard to anything else - likely increasing inequality.

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to make that clear with "grep reference", but you're right, it's still ambiguous. I'll add a note to clear it up. Both "wc" and "grep" don't solve the problem, they're just comparisons to see how fast other programs can read the input (and in wc's case, tokenize into words). For grep, I'm using "grep foobar".

It's not just leetcode it's that most people in this industry are hiding the most simple truth: they cannot judge what you know or don't. Full-stop. I find most technical interviews comical, it's pretty cute watching some nerds try to front on you with horribly worded questions.

FWIW-- Leetcode is a fucking game at best, if anyone is judging people's qualification for employment by "leetcode" they may as well be yelling from mountaintops "I do not know shit! I have no meaningful way to judge or ascertain talent, nor do I find it even worthwhile to try to... so here I stand before you to stroke my ego!"

Go read code, make things that are fun for you to do or build. That's what will you get you hired... The reason leetcode isn't helping you is because they're acts of pedantry, they aren't there to teach you anything useful. When some shit website like that drops a problem akin to:

"a deadline was dropped on your desk of yesterday, you have 18gbs of CSVs to go through (w/ half of the file encoded as TSVs), github is down, and if you don't get this data parsed by the end of the day the firms biggest client is going to leave... You can't deploy because there's no trust in your organization and the "principals" are out... Your project manager is "out sick" for the fourth time this month. What do you do?"

Exactly. This subject can easily backfire and blow the trust of a population on vaccines, or worst, on the regulators.

Imagine this is the outcome of a production problem, yet regulators refused to acknowledge this until it was out of proportions because the problem wasn't fixed. Not only people would lose trust on vaccines, they would lose trust on the regulator - this extends far beyond this vaccine, but all vaccines and medicines.

People need to feel safe, and to know that regulators are not sleeping on their job. It's not a bureaucratic job, but that they are actively looking at data and reports from doctors.

What seems downright absurd to me is to dismiss the obvious fact that while a star might be incredibly inefficient relative to a working fusion reactor, the actual energy output of a star will far outstrip that which can be collectively produced by artificial fusion for many centuries and millennia to come.

Stars provide in abundance and for free, energy, mass (even for heavier elements they far outstrip that available on planets, asteroids, and comets), a star system spanning magnetosphere for protection from the interstellar medium, and a massive gravity well which can be used to anchor planets and mega structures alike

While it's true that we won't strictly "need" them once we have working fusion, they are likely to be the hotspots of civilisation for a long time to come, probably as long as the stellar epoch of the universe is in play (so 100+ billion years).

Neither option (Oxford comma or no Oxford comma) is a bold choice. Both alternatives are endorsed by various style guides. Oxford comma is more common in the US, omitting it is more common in England, but every style guide agrees that the comma should be added / removed as necessary to fix ambiguity.

There are definitely cases where introducing the serial comma creates ambiguity, because it can look like an appositive.

Spending less on maintenance won't bite you - until it does - but until then, thats money that can be put elsewhere like CEO pockets.
> As a comparison, an IBM z15 mainframe CPU has 10 cores and 256MB per socket.

Well, that's eDRAM magic, isn't it? Most manufacturers are unable to make eDRAM on a CPU.

> My question is why they chose to have just 32MB for up to 80 cores when AMD can choose to have 32MB per 8-core chiplet.

From my understanding, those ARM chips are largely I/O devices: read from disk -> output to Ethernet.

In contrast, IBM's are known for database backends, which likely benefits from gross amounts of L3 cache. EPYC is general purpose: you might run a database on it, you might run I/O constrained apps on it. So kind of a middle ground.

Yeah, I'm willing to avoid contracting the virus... by getting the vaccine, which certainly isn't as deadly as the virus has been. It isn't just the kill rate, though: I truly want to avoid the long-term complications that some folks are getting. I'll avoid the suffering that comes with the virus too, even without the complications.

And they can even do it inadvertently. I've run into multiple examples recently due to the Android file system becoming ever more locked down.

Yes, the vast majority of apps have no business writing to any location other than their own storage, and in general even reading other areas should be subject to severe restrictions.

However, there are some apps that have a *legitimate* need to be able to wander freely through the file system. Specifically, apps whose purpose in life is dealing with files.

The latest run-in I've had with this: The Goodsync Android client, which now appears to be basically useless. It's a file synchronization tool, what good is it if it can't wander where the user wants it to? Now I have to plug my phone into the computer to do the same task (the file system lockdown doesn't apply to access from the PC) that I used to be able to do simply by having the phone in the room.

> Also copper concentrations in typical copper ore is not 100 time greater than uranium concentrations. Copper concentrations are about 0.6%[2] and uranium is 0.1% - 0.2%

Sorry, your right, 100x is too high, that was a rough guess. It should be more like 30-60 times higher when compared with enriched uranium (which is what a nuclear power plant uses); it takes 10 tonnes of natural uranium to produce 1 tonne of enriched uranium [1].

So 100GWe of nuclear power capacity uses around 100x25 = 2500 tonnes of enriched uranium per year. The same amount of digging would likely produce between 2500x30-2500x60 = 75,000-150,000 tonnes of copper, lets take the middle value: 112,500

So in 3.2 (360,000/112,500) years the 100GWe of nuclear power capacity has produced the same amount of digging required to produce 360,000 tonnes of copper. Multiply that by 3 to take account of wind turbine inefficiencies and that takes it to 9.6 years.

Current wind turbines last around 20 years, so even if we assume they only use newly mined copper (not recycled), and we ignore all the metals and other materials used to build the nuclear power stations, then the nuclear power stations are still going to require about twice as much earth dug up for mining.

There is also Knots3D with a good Android app. https://knots3d.com/

As a climber what I see is that in general you learn your knots and practice them until you can tie them blindfolded, sometimes single handed, sometimes with gloves on!.

As a beginner you need probably two or three knots (fig. 8 for tie in, prussik for a rappel backup, double fisherman)
As you progress you learn other knots for other purpose and some alternatives. (alpine butterfly, bowline, other friction hicthes, munter mule and so on)
Then you stick with the ones you like most or are most versatile and you probably won't need no learn any new knot unless you start doing any new stuff (like start ice climbing if you never done that).

So, those resource are good for visual learners but once you learn it and use it regularly you'll probably never forget.
more pointedly, comment sentiment is a naive and misleading signal of either submission or discussion quality. most simply because it's a poor proxy for why, but also because quality is an amorphous concept that defies direct rationalization (i.e., being numericalized), among other factors.

naive heuristics are also gamed more easily, especially because they have a tenous relationship to the desired signal in the first place.

slightly more interesting would be absolute value of comment sentiment, which would be a (still naive) measure of controversy/engagement. to really get at quality and value, you'd have to consider comment semiotics/semantics (the symbolic meaning and content), which complicates the effort exponentially (perhaps impossibly so).
