I have no knowledge beyond what I just heard from you.

That sounded implausible. The country which had the ability to negotiate that happened to be the same country where the doses were manufactured? Why couldn't the UK apply its careful negotiating skills elsewhere too?

Alternative hypothesis: the credible implicit or explicit threats of a ban were what enabled the deal. "Sign this or else."
Didn’t YouTube and Twitter start banning people for evening broaching this topic.
I assume this is going to be not too much more than "we dock several components together in Earth orbit, then fly the whole thing where we want it to go"

In theory this would work for anything that is permanently in vacuum, such as the NASA Lunar Gateway (though it's currently planned for lunar-orbit operations only), or some future low-Earth orbit station such as Gateway Station[1] or some sort of Venus, Mars, or Ceres orbital habitat.

You should definitely also try the exact original conditions. Think about reducing a tricky bug: you start with the exact input and code that first caused the problem, then try removing constraints to see what preserves the bug.

Ed; I should clarify: you start with whatever big nasty test scenario you need to make sure you can reproduce the effect at all, and only then can you start changing the conditions and be confident you're still measuring the same thing.
It's not that nobody heard of it, the problem is that it's not cheap to get stared since the devices are pretty expensive and you usually need to run wiring.

> It is administered by the KNX Association cvba, a non-profit organisation governed by Belgian law which was formed in 1999. The KNX Association had 443 registered hardware and software vendor members from 44 nations as at 1 July 2018. It had partnership agreements with over 77,000 installer companies in 163 countries and more than 440 registered training centres.[2] This is a royalty-free open standard and thus access to the KNX specifications is unrestricted.

It looks to me like it is competing with systems like Control4 in US since usually you want somebody to install and set it up for you.

Having said that I do believe that it is a good standard and I hope I will be able to implement it in my next home for the fundamental (must work) things like heating, blinds and lighting (maybe with DALI).
That's not the correct calculation because you've selected the research lab hypothesis post-facto. The correct calculation is to roll a dice representing all the locations of possible human bat interactions and see how many of those land next to some landmark that you can form some sort of conspiracy about.
Disappointing that the author joined FB.
Time was a factor. Negotiations in such a situation waste time. Doubling the price associated the cost of wasted time with additional negotiation in a tangible way. In clarifying the situation, thread parent was really helping that former employer. Had that clarification not occurred, the contract might might have been signed too late.
Yeah I had similar thoughts. A lot of incongruency there. What irritates me is why open source projects like this have such a disregard for basic ergonomics while also holding the idea that they're a suitable replacement for vastly more polished incumbents.
>That's why it's a killer mistake to let "marketing folk" dictate _anything_ that has to do with the app.

Killer mistake of your revenue, or killer mistake of what we'd prefer apps to be?
- tooling: there is a VS Code plugin for Crystal (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=crystal-...). There is also syntax highlighting for most popular editors, if you prefer a text-editor to a fully-loaded IDE.

- no multi threading: Crystal has lightweight green threads for lightweight concurrency. However, Crystal does have experimental native multi-threading guarded by a compiler flag. The ultimate goal is to have multiple native threads each running multiple green threads for maximum concurrency. Currently, with just green threads, Crystal is competitive with Go or Rust wrt throughput. You can checkout benchmarks on crystal-lang.org or search Google for "Go vs Crystal benchmark" blog posts.

- no real support: Manas Tech is the corporate sponsor for Crystal (https://manas.tech/projects/crystal/) and employs many of the core developers; the project also accepts donations on Open Collective. There is a crystal-lang IRC channel, Gitter, Discord, Discourse forum, sub-reddit, and even a "Matrix" channel where developers frequently ask and answer questions.

- still immature: a 1.0.0 version is a significant milestone for any project. Companies are already running Crystal in production, which was discussed during the Raw Crystal 2020 virtual-conference (videos on YouTube).

- API breakage: Crystal 1.0.0 was released to stabilize the API (SemVer)

Expensive for two pieces of die cut steel, but I can confirm they've worked well for me on a variety of terminals, including automotive stuff.
I'm kinda curious if in some wild future WSL3 ends up being Windows completely ditching the NT kernel for linux kernel and building up wine to be a first class Windows API emulator.

It's just increasingly silly in the Azure and server space to be running Windows--you lose all the benefits of the container ecosystem and have all the baggage of decades of windows cruft (yes I know windows containers exist--no one uses them). Desktop usage has been in decline forever and I have to imagine they could get the 90% of windows API apps left that matter to work great on wine. It would give Microsoft a huge boost to get back in ARM by building on the linux kernel and its great support vs. windows ARM very limited set of qualcomm and a handful of other chips.
This sort of thing is the exact reason why I have been staying away from Docker for my projects.

Having one company be totally in control of runtime environments just isn’t robust. There are just too many scenarios where some issue they face internally could cause a massive disruption.

And when I looked I didn’t find any Docker alternatives, so I just stuck with plain old Bash scripts, rsync, running the app in Ubuntu.
That's only true to a point. In the west, people in power don't have (in theory) legal powers or privileges outside their office above the general public - you know "That all men are created equal...".

Just because there is turnover doesn't mean that the most capable people are in power. It could be that the most deceitful or powerful people are in power.

You can even see some of this in the worker union in China. It's basically a sham. It's run by the state and the safety protections are basically non-existent.
Flagged for misinformation. There definitely was an uptick in deaths and pneumonia. Scans of patient's lungs showed new symptoms not normally associated with pneumonia. This happened over the course of a few months and is what tipped off doctors in Wuhan that there was something new spreading.
>Because otherwise how do you know when they suddenly change their script to do something entirely different?

(a) Sandbox it.

(b) Have them sign a contract they won't do so but only do these N things, and if change those without telling you, sue them.
I’ve only had the pleasure/pain of using Sparkle once, but it’s definitely not as simple to use as “every other app” might suggest. At least coming from the perspective of “I’ve only ever released one Mac app to the public.” I mean it wasn’t as complicated as modern web build tools, but it definitely needed some finesse.
PSA: If your Android apps keep crashing, uninstall Android System WebView
None of this is true.

The UK screwed nobody, they just wrote a good contract independent of EU.

If the UK knew there were not going to be able to manufacture there, they would have made it elsewhere.

Nationalizing exports is a massive problem, and it may very well be illegal.

Nobody screwed the EU or Canada, they just failed to take appropriate action.
Not sure how that's vague. This feels like victim blaming.
I'm sure that would work out fine for the wealthy EU countries. Though the small countries might not have the same leverage.

But in the long run, wouldn't it be bad for all of us, if it takes eastern European countries a lot longer to reopen?
I can’t find the link but the virus they took from sick miners to study and what is now called covid-19 were 95-99% the same. A fellow did their masters thesis on it in 2016 or so
One alternative would be accepting that the climate has always changed, regularly dramatically so, and focus on adapting to survive the inevitable.

It sucks, but it is what it is, and it's not going anywhere.

The environmental movement was fully compromised a long time ago, it has absolutely nothing to do with the environment anymore, it's all about profit and shame.
I think the wording may have been confusing there, I meant that some developers tend to define their work to be exactly what is assigned to them on project management.
I found the fan noise to be horrific on the 13in i5 macbook I was using. The thing was overheating constantly and since I use linux and windows at home, having the cmd key different only while working was a huge annoyance for me. On my dell xps 15 I almost never hear the fans at all and there is usually only a quick burst of fan noise when running a webpack compile or something compared to non stop 80% fans on the mbp.

There are far more things that made the dell xps a better choice and ports was just one of them but still a very important one. USB-C adapters are pretty cheap but USB-C hubs are $100+ and have been a constant source of frustration when they keep failing unless you buy the most expensive ones.

If I wanted to study zoonotic viruses, I would put labs in places filled with universities or government agencies focused on disease, like Boston, Atlanta, Maryland.

Tell me about that lab in the Congo again.

I wrote Intercept Redirect to skip these redirect services. It doesn't change the URLs that appear on sites but intercepts the requests and instantly redirects them to the intended URL. It also requests the are minimum of permissions and collects no data.

Looked over their FAQ, and yeah, I'm super surprised that you're right, I don't remember ever turning it off.
There's no such thing as money hoarding. If you keep cash in the mattress it loses value to inflation (i.e., to the state). If you keep money in the financial system then that money is _used_ to fund others' ventures. If you invest your money (e.g., in a business, in stocks, whatever) then the money gets transferred to others who will do similar things, and you now have possession of a (hopefully) productive asset!

There is no such thing as money hoarding. "Money hoarding" is ideological and utter nonsense.
By that sort of reasoning, when a nation rolls tanks into your borders, you should just let them do it because more people would die if you fight back.

If a nation actually did that (release a bioweapon and pre-immunize their own citizens)... well World War is probably overselling it, but I could certainly imagine contained conflicts, sinking of cargo vessels, shooting down of planes, targeted assassinations... etc. It's very likely that every nation would have highly vested interests in making sure that whoever authorized that weapon was removed from this planet.
My point is based on experience. Yes, it's probably too much to ask to test all 2^64 cases, but I've been dealing with code in production that was failing precisely because some values lead to code paths that gave incorrect results.

In this particular case, I would have tested 2^N where N>32 random, unique values, at a minimum.

Of course, it depends on who the customer is. Some customers can tolerate a few bugs here and there; and some would incur million dollar losses.
Please, don't do this any more. You're not winning any friends and Rust and Go both have serious issues, mainly the sheer bulk, which will ensure they never, EVER make it into certain market segments.

Moreover, you come across as an obnoxious, and likely paid astroturfer. Stop telling people to use your silly "safe" software. Who wants to be a part of a community with people like YOU in it?
For Reddit on mobile, try "i." instead of "old.".
Deletion requests affect monthly backups as well, although it's sort of up in the air how many months the EU will accept as a reasonable business practice for keeping should-be-deleted user data.

The best way to delete user data is to encrypt it all with per-user keys so they can be shredded immediately upon request. Backups of user keys themselves can be very short-lived since the keys are static and the lifetime is scoped to GDPR/other laws. Then the encrypted data can be archived indefinitely, so long as encryption keys are never stored in those archives.
There is no requirement that bats be transported to Wuhan. It's close to a known bat virus, and that's all we know. There are local bats in Wuhan, needless to say. Other species can easily be involved. The truth is that there is nothing particularly surprising about the way this virus evolved. Fundamentally this is a pandemic like any other. They happen in some species or another every year.

And that, more than anything else, is why we should be suspicious of "exotic" theories like human intervention. It's an extraordinary claim, and it requires extraordinary proof. You seem to be arguing the opposite, when Occam is clear that we should be betting on natural evolution.
YMMV. My 12" retina MacBook was perhaps my favorite machine I've owned. I have a M1 Air now, I like it as well. There are some pros and cons to both. I do still miss the smaller form factor.
You could look at the opportunity the same way an investor does. Here are some good questions to ask yourself:

1. Is the company founded and managed by people that are competent, experienced, and 100% devoted to the success of the business? Do they have domain knowledge?

2. Is the company solving a real problem that affects the lives of thousands of people who really want that problem solved?

3. Is the solution simple enough to develop, produce and maintain while still being unique and differentiated from the rest of the market? Is the solution definitively valuable to the market (customers)?

4. Is the business designed to be sustainable in the next couple of years? In other words, can this business get to market and start generating revenue? Investors will tire of paying the bills at some point, and that will impact the staff and their salaries.

Remember that even when all of the answers are favorable, the chance of success is still less than 50%.
I did a little sleuthing.

Mastodon.art (11.7k users - NOT 17k users) blocked the sneak.berlin instance (1 user) because you wandered into the Admin's mentions and tagged other members of the instance to call them "rude as fuck" and lectured them on how to moderate their own instance when they announced other additions to the block list.

Source: https://s.sneak.berlin/@sneak/103307407459883859

Now, looking through your instance, I don't see anything especially problematic that would make you unpopular to the Fediverse, but just from your attitude towards other Instance admins and your disengenous argument about your value to another instance's users makes me feel as though this suspension was 100% justified.

One of the fundamental purposes of Mastodon is to keep communities niche while curbing abuse. One of the fundamental benefits of Mastodon is that most of the polite instances get to participate in each other's conversations.

But you were not polite, and you harassed and insulted the people who run another instance, and while you would like to pretend that the problem you have here is that those 11.7k people no longer get to see your content, the real problem you have is that your bad behavior has permanently locked you out of 11.7k accounts that you proved yourself too impolite and meddling to be allowed to interact with anymore.

This isn't a flaw of the Fediverse, it's a feature. The system worked as it was supposed to. A rude person was made to shut up, and the users of the Mastodon.art instance won't even feel the loss of your single-account instance that isn't about art.

And this isn't even scratching the surface of the prevalence of far-right/Nazi instances that brigade people and launch harassment campaigns that fundamentally justify the use of these moderation tools.
There's nothing natural about housing markets. Across the developed world bougie homeowners have been using zoning regulations to restrict supply with immensely lucrative results. I would also like to see you tell someone experiencing housing precarity that these conversations are unnecessary, to their face.
I'm not sure this is even possible today.

SaaS is literally you being subject to unpredictable A/B tests, UX changes, API changes, etc. This is what people signed up for. Automatically managed updates. I don't know too many places that don't rely on some sort of cloud service/SaaS today. Can Github even hit two nines availability this year, I wonder. But we all sit idle while they fix their shit for the 8th time this month.
Yeah, also USB-C is pretty obviously the future: having a single connector for all my external devices makes it hard to go back to packing multiple connectors. And, instead of dongle adapters, I just buy cables with the appropriate connector pair: e.g. HDMI/USB-C for my TV

I didn't get that read at all. A desire to maintain happiness whilst having no job to dictate time and activities isn't "just in a different group".

I think they're somewhat non-conformist by posting about negatives and the fact that life will push you in unpredictable directions - even when you've done the maths.

But maybe that's because I tend to agree with the commentary around 'other people needing to "keep up" with the rest of society'.

Great points. "Move fast and break things" is for new companies that don't have people relying on them.

People who use this saying to keep moving forward should be aware of the fact that Facebook no longer use this (). I've heard "Move fast with reliable infrastructure". In other words, Facebook invest massive amounts of money to allow them to test and deploy new features without breaking the whole site. If you don't want to make that investment, you don't get to move fast without breaking things.

I'm not in Facebook, above information is from a podcast. If you are from Facebook, I'd love your input

Glenn Greenwald gets into this a lot.

Regardless of whether Doritos are more profitable we still have millions of acres of staple crops grown each year. There is no shortage of good writing but it may not come in microwaveable packets.

WSL2 uses it's own init system - only one kernel (plus a tiny initrd) is virtualized by hyper-v; each subsequent linux instance (distribution) is containerized. There's additional facilities that handle resource allocation dynamically vs the user specifying a static amount during VM creation.

These (and more) result in the end-user interacting with WSL2 the same way they would any normal application. To think of it as simply a VM isn't quite correct.

How an Apple Store Gets You Subliminally
Sure, it’s important for a library to have C source code for portability. That doesn’t exclude implementing the code in another language (such as F*/FStar or Dafny) that has stronger out-of-the-box safety guarantees, then compiling it to portable C source code for distribution.
Well for what it’s worth I vastly prefer that attitude as someone who has to manage different dependencies on different projects. Sometimes it’s not up to me when one project is using Foo@13.0 and another is using Foo@27.0. Package managers which isolate that to the project or to some environment are a lot easier to manage than the system-level package managers which require you to roll that isolation yourself.

Edit: and I can’t help pointing out the irony of this being a consideration on a thread about Docker.
Cool app! Just as a quick idea, you might want to make sure you compress your 4.4MB bundle before sending it to a client. Splitting your bundle might help for the initial page load, too.
> That does seem like a problem that should put focus on the management.

That's what all of us who have ever had to go out and work around annoying decisions want you to realize.
But if the contract states there are no competing customers, and talks about 4 different sites, I'd say most bases should have been covered.

But does the AZ-EU Advance Purchase Agreement[1], which is the somewhat redacted document that was published, talk about 4 different sites? I haven't found anything about specific sites so far, nor any guarantee that there are no competing customers. Have I missed something?

In section 5.1, it does state that AZ shall use its BREs to manufacturer the Initial European Doses within the EU. Then in section 5.4, it states that AZ shall use its BREs to manufacture the Vaccine at manufacturing sites located within the EU, and that specifically for section 5.4 only, that includes the UK. If the exception proves the rule, those sections together appear to imply that AZ must try to manufacture those initial batches for the EU within the EU not including the UK, and then any subsequent manufacture can be done in either the EU or UK (and otherwise there are some additional provisions about other possibilities). Maybe a lawyer can comment on the choice of language there, but it seems awkwardly written to me.
