Yes it may feel to some that the money easy came, so it is tempting to spend it as easily and it can be good for mental health, but if the value goes up even more later on I can see that many people will feel resentment towards their car.
I spent like dozens of BTC few years ago on some (in the grand scheme of things) useless crap and it wasn't easy to come to terms with years later.

You can, but you didn't get any of the Google ranking advantages of doing so, because AMP was purely an anti-competition play.
I think they bring this up because race issues are the Achilles heel of the bourgeoisie. Tell the 2021 bourgeois that he hates dirty working class people working on their satanic internal combustion engines and he will agree with you readily. Tell him he's r*cist for doing it, and he'll cry and moan and do whatever you want to shuck the charge.
This is a difficult problem indeed, but thankfully it is just as difficult for the malicious actors as it is for the "good guys". Since various bad guys have presumably been scanning public repos for years already, Github and PyPa adding this feature is leveling the playing field, even if it is not a 100% accurate search algorithm.
I wrote a ton of Perl as well, but that stopped long ago. In the meantime I've learned a number of languages, Python and Ruby included. Maybe what they're doing is enough to slow down the decay in terms of user base. But I'd be shocked if it reversed it either by bringing old Perl users back or getting new ones.

Of course, it could just be that this is an internally focused text. Maybe there's some other document that explains a product vision that says, "Perl will be better at X,Y, and Z for groups A, B, and C"?
While Apple does not have a monopoly over the smartphone market by any meaningful definition, what it does have is a vastly outsized mindshare.

Not only did Apple invent the modern smartphone, they created the first modern App Store. This, combined with their high cultural cachet, allows them to define by their actions what an App Store "should be" in many people's minds.

Personally, as a lifelong Apple user, I'm both concerned about Apple's singular control over the iPhone app market, and concerned what would happen if that singular control were broken.

Rmap.io – Visual product roadmaps faster than ever
rmap.io is a spin-off from a previous product solving complex scheduling problems involving thousands of tasks and constraints.

When we realized that we had users (including ourselves) that were using this product to create product roadmaps (and enjoyed it!), we knew that we had to see how far we could take it.

rmap.io is by no means a final product yet, but we have an alpha version and we'd love for anyone that has experienced pain while creating product roadmaps to try it out!
Of course, in the USA exporting vaccines to other countries is simply not allowed, and if they want to sell, they need to sell it to the US government. The same applies to UK.

The fact that EU is the only western entity that produces vaccines and where export is allowed makes it much more complicated.
Ripgrep and fd could be written in Brainf*ck for all I care. The big win is the improved UX and not having to `man grep`/`man find` when I want to go beyond the two parameters I memorised.

Glad I am using Firefox for this, issues like this makes my blood boil.

One thing I hate about most websites is the backward compatibility issues most websites tend to have from time to time that break pre existing functionalities. Almost all websites have them. EG copy pasting photos through clipboard doesn't work anymore on gmail using firefox which forces me to use chrome.
I liked writing Perl a lot, but when it came to reading, let alone fixing, other people's Perl, it was always a bit of a nightmare. That's one of the main reasons I was reasonably happy to move away from it - nobody seemed to heed "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should" mantra. Sure you can write good Perl, and I always did my best in that area, but it was not the reality for most Perl programs out there. CPAN also turned to a bit of a mess at some point, and in general dependency management was non existent, really. Containers could help alleviate this pain now, to an extent. Still, it would need to seriously improve to lay any claims to being able to write modern stuff in Perl.
I wonder, what's the difference between this and all the distro-flavored versions there were before?
Is the Suez Canal Authority of Egypt or maritime authorities in-charge professional enough to do this?
Economics can attract people making wild claims because it is difficult to truly prove or disprove some claims in the subject. Still, there is good science done in economics, though conducting science is more difficult in fields like economics than others. I think it is important to distinguish between microeconomics and macroeconomics here. It is possible to conduct controlled experiments in microeconomics, but in general it is difficult and often impossible to conduct controlled experiments in macroeconomics. For example, you simply cannot take half the population and apply one policy to them and take the other half and apply a "placebo" and see what the results are. The scale and ethical problems prevent such experiments.

Instead, macroeconomists like to use "natural experiments" (as they call it) that occur at discontinuities in current policies. For example, let's say that some policy has an income cut off at X USD/year. People making less than that can use the program, but people making more than that cannot. You can look at people making X-1 USD/year and compare them to people making X+1 USD/year. The slight difference in income is basically negligible, so in effect you are studying the effect of the policy, but only at a particular income level unfortunately.

Note that the difficulties using the scientific method continue to other fields like weather prediction. In these fields scientists can conduct observational studies but not experimental (controlled) studies, since we do not have the means (or even the desire) to effect the phenomena in such a way to verify or falsify some questions directly. Indirect (and far more clever) methods are still possible, though.
in a perfect world, we would not secure the transport but the content itself. and everyone should be able to build their own web-of-trust. why i as a (web-) publisher and my readers have to rely on the grace of just a few root CAs? i know technically it is possible to import my home-made CA cert in browsers, but it's not made easy: my server cert can not be signed by more than 1 parties; android requisites an unlock code in order to have custom CA certs - first when i saw this i was like "why the hell?", i mean i can imagine this is safety feature for simple users but come on!
Certbot seemed pretty easily automated to me as a guy who just set it up for the first time a few days ago on a new Arch install. The wiki is a pretty great resource if you're still having problems.
Well isn't it nice of the Chinese to invest in rail!
Observational studies are a lower standard of evidence than randomised controlled trials. Countries with higher levels of vaccine skepticism (eg the US) seem to be erring on the side of doing things by the book. The UK, by comparison, enjoys a high degree of trust in its healthcare system and can afford to be a little more gung-ho.
I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'm excited to try some of this stuff out, like spec'd Mocks.

I'm curious if anyone else who has been drawn in by the allure of the Mock has some strategies to avoid the footguns associated with them? (Python specifically)

It didn't when Netscape 4 (which was pre-Gecko) was a thing. The IE vs NN browser war saw both adopting various incompatible non-standard features - e.g. layers in NN, innerHTML in IE - but the set that IE ended up with was closer to what was eventually standardized as HTML5/CSS/DOM.
There is something weird going on with the AZ vaccine. One of things is that it is being sold at cost price at the moment.

AZ has the option of raising the price by this summer.

Now they wouldn't, would they, just stock pile the stuff until summer?

AstraZeneca vaccine document shows limit of no-profit pledge

Company has right under contract to declare pandemic over by July 2021

AstraZeneca, which has promised not to profit from its Covid-19 vaccine “during the pandemic”, has the right to declare an end to the pandemic as soon as July 2021, according to an agreement with a manufacturer.
I think you're gonna need to back up that extraordinary claim with evidence.

Why does it seem like people feel the need to make anything they can about race? (Maybe I'm just overly sensitive and it doesn't happen as much as I perceive, to be fair) I don't agree with the law, but literally every race owns vehicles. Why complicate the issue with racism if there doesn't need to be any complication? Seems like a clear cut issue that people can unite over that instead is being made into a minority only issue for no reason.
If they are using the facility for the UK, it seems pretty straightforward and logical to not seek approval.
Lol, there are plenty of annoying modals on AMP sites.
This vaccine saga is turning into a James Bond movie. I'm loving it :)
I'd like it if they tested their distributable product on a hard drive sometimes, not just SSD all the time.

I've come across a game that had major stutter problems, very noticeable on a HDD but still noticeable on SSD, just noticeable on a ramdisk, problem was frequent saving level data to disk and having some things block while they did that. The developer got lots of reports about performance, they said that people should upgrade their computer, game was 2d and graphically simple, the developer did not understand why people were having performance problems and didn't really care, it is essentially abandoned at this point and still for sale.

Another game also had major stutter problems which would last a few seconds each, turns out it was reading a file (which should be read once at startup) over 100 times a second almost all the time it is open. Submitted bug reports in both places they support with log output from the file monitoring I did. No response to either of them.

Firefox generally runs fine, if the HDD where your profile is located is saturated with IO then pages will not load until Firefox is able to write to the disk, this is with disk cache turned off. This isn't unexpected behaviour and not a bug like I would consider the previous two examples, but it is noticeable.

I really would like developers to test on a HDD even if only every few releases, and would also like them to use a monitoring tool on their software sometimes. This is just so their products don't have really bad behaviour on the system it is running on which the developers are completely oblivious to.
How do you feel about the impact on developer productivity after migrating to Java + Spring Boot? I haven't used Java in a long while and every time that I try to come back to it, I get driven away by the difficulty and complexity to do simple things (thinking of annotations, dependency injection, complicated design patterns). It feels like an effort of one hour of Node or Python programming (or even Go) would take 10x more in Java.
None. The hardware is the same as with last Community Editions.
According to "Le Canard Enchainé" [0] this is because:

- They agreed not to make profits on the vaccines for the first year or so (that was imposed by Oxford)[1]
- There's no penalty for not reaching the delivery targets in their contract with the EU.

So since they have no financial incentives in delivering more, they simply subcontracted the production, and are not making much effort in solving the various production issues.

Thanks! The company for which I work actually has a self hostable product right now. And I wanted to explore offering a self hostable version.

Maybe a good way to experiment would be to offer to install it on a raspberry Pi or dell server and ship it. See if anyone is interested in that particular delivery method.

In aquaponic systems, which have plenty of bacteria on the roots, we are running much lower levels of nutrients with very good growth, compared to recommended hydroponic nutrient levels. I think we are observing this interaction that is described here.
Err, the national governments and the European Commission are very much encouraging the skepticism especially in regards to AZ.

Saying it's not effective for older people, temporarily banning it, saying it's not for younger people etc. At this point a lot of average people are skeptical not because they are anti-vaxx but because of the mixed messages from the governments.
It's just that OP's comment makes no sense. Losing a bank link somehow still leaves you about a dozen options that don't involve waiting on coinbase support. If I had half a million in cash stuck on coinbase/unable to ACH home I'd withdraw to ETH/DAI within 10 minutes.
Based on the comparison shown between using the third party scripts with tracking, and using the smart block stand-in, I wonder if this could be an edge against Chrome? While the Google team can push the envelope, pay for whatever is necessary, and add their own standards (such as AMP, though that may be going away IIRC), they're likely stuck waiting on trackers just like Firefox was (on non-AMP pages).
From the article and comments in this thread it seems that:

- The AstraZeneca didn't sought approval of the Halix plant, approval seems to be a fast process.

- They seem to be meant for export.

Which makes me wonder if maybe all of the Halix plant production is meant for export (speculation 1) and if maybe they intentionally didn't seek approval of the plant because of reasons like this making all vaccines produced there "not valid for consumption in EU" and (maybe, speculation 2) "not neccessary to be listed when reporting to the EU" and (maybe, speculation 3) "not affected by any export controls because they are not valid vaccines".

Be aware that I think speculation 1 is likely but 2 and 3 get increasingly less likely. It can be as simple as saving a buck by avoiding regulative control on a plant which isn't meant to produce for the countries doing the regulation anyway.
The UN's main benefit is that it gets a bunch of nations around a table to discuss various issues. This is something that should not be underestimated.

Unfortunately if the UN could directly exercise authority over nations, many nations would simply just leave.
However the software is much more stable and diverse now.
I thought it was wrong for the EU to take such a paranoid view of the way the UK was getting its vaccines. Seems they were on to something after all. At this point it wouldn't surprise me that the UK had secretly siphoned AZ's EU production since day 1. But who knows...

Different magnetometer. Previous revisions also had minor changes, for example a resistor removal to prevent the backlight intensity changing when USB switches VBUS from sink to source mode, etc. Ever since pmOS the changes are very minor.
This was my question and suggestion to the Kitemaker team. My team wanted to use Clubhouse.io but they weren't HIPAA compliant and wouldn't sign a BAA with us. Apparently, there are very few apps in this space that will do so.

If Kitemaker wants a hook into a pool of customers, healthcare might be a good place to start. There are tons of small healthcare companies that really need HIPAA compliant tools and being HIPAA compliant is like a bright shining beacon in the night. It's SOOOOOOO much easier to get management to spend money on someone that will sign a BAA.
The Panama Canal has always been much more vulnerable than Suez, as the latter is sea-level for it's entire length and has no locks.

Destroying or blocking as few as three locks could semi-permanently block all traffic in Panama, or worse, drain Gatun.
It seems that a licence change was needed (since the gem included a GPL data file), versions prior to 0.4 were yanked but Rails depends on ~> 0.3.0; A new 0.3.6 with GPL has been released and so a "bundle update mimemagic" should fix this ...
The only real difference is that this one doesn't contribute money towards a specific project. All the previous versions contributed $10 per purchase to their respective projects. Hardware wise it's been the same revision since the postmarketOS edition.
A couple of minor points: "Xenophon had a huge army of Greek mercenaries" is not really so. On the Anabasis proper, Xenophon was along as a tourist. After Cyrus was killed at Cunaxa, and the upper leadership captured and killed, Xenophon was elected one of the leaders for the march back to the Black Sea.

"Even Sir Thomas More, the great humanist and author of Utopia, coining the word, advocated using mercenaries to protect his utopian republic." Sort of. The narrator says that of the Utopians that "in great extremities or sudden accidents they employ [their treasure] in hiring foreign troops".
Without inside knowledge the best sense I can make of this is:

- EMA has tougher approvals process than others (guessing but seems plausible).

- Halix plant meets others (UK) standards but not EMA standards yet.

- So AZ hasn't yet applied for approval with EMA yet.

- So Halix sourced vaccines can't be used in EU but can be elsewhere.

Cue outrage when AZ try to export these vaccines.

Obviously doesn't reflect well on someone but without detailed knowledge of standards / approvals process hard to say who.

I think it would only apply if you tried to give it to a human other than yourself.
Who says AZ works around the world? It's the vaccine of the last resort, people will get it only if they can't get anything else because it's still better than nothing, at least for now.

And "better than nothing" is just temporary because AZ is very to completely ineffective against all virus mutations that are currently spreading.

If Russian and Chinese Sputnik and Sinovac vaccines were approved in the EU, we could save so many lives, but politics will rather try to force AZ than accept that they failed.

1. Newbies to Unix don't come with 40 years of experience, they need to pick these tools up from scratch. When the newer tools have substantially better UX, it's a no-brainer that they would be used. I still remember being a newbie, and improving the UX (note, not dumbing-down) of our tools would go a little ways to alleviating the difficulty of navigating an unfamiliar terrain.

2. Those tools are also 40 years behind what we know we can accomplish in command line UX. They cannot afford to modernise without breaking backwards compat of the historical output text and the params, so they stay frozen. Any changes would have to come from new Unix tools written from scratch, which is what `exa`, ripgrep and `fd` are doing.

Agreed. I've been on a few projects where other people were doing node.js. It's fine but my take away from that experience is to not use it for something that matters and that it's rarely the best tool for the job. These projects have a tendency to get ugly in a hurry.

The good news is you can do real stuff with it relatively easy and that all you need to know is javascript. Which is great if you have some frontend people getting their feet wet with backend stuff. But most of what it does you can do in other tech stacks as well and they tend to be pretty good at the stuff node is used for.

Go is decent. Python is decent (forget about threading though, global interpreter lock is still a thing). I use a lot of Kotlin & Spring Boot myself. There are many other tech stacks. Each of those has rich ecosystems with great libraries, frameworks, tooling, etc. Whether you are doing batch jobs, data engineering, server code, etc. They each have many options for technology.
> Overselling their production capacity by a lot, for one.

They grow live virus in live cell cultures. Scaling bioreactors from 50 liter test reactors to 1000 or 2000 liter production size reactors can be tricky. Even when everything goes well, bioreactors can have 3-fold differences in yield.

I would assume either AZ quoted the ideal production capacity. Or maybe AZ quoted a range, and EU politicians took the maximum of the range and believed that would be achievable.
