ssh support is present because Windows' pty story, while better than 5 years ago, isn't great. The integrated ssh support allows bypassing that layer when running wezterm on Windows and connecting to a real unix system.

serial port support is present because I do a lot of embedded work on multiple systems and want a consistent environment.

Multiplexing is there because that is actually what you're building when you add multiple tabs, windows and panes.

You can, of course, not use any of those features and still potentially enjoy using the ones that you do need/want. Or just not use it; I don't mind!
No Persistent Volume support, so not great for stateful applications. Claims that type of thing is "magic", and therefore out of scope.

Quite an engineering feat, though, I am sure! Is this to have fun, to learn, to actually use in production?

Or the users escalate to a high enough level, who inevitably has a university admin background and has no regard for IT or security - the decision inevitably ends up being on the side of the userbase.

Kotlin’s reified generics are pretty limited — they only work in inlinable situations, as there is no JVM support.

I assume that Kotlin will quickly add proper reified generics support as soon as the JVM allows.

(Your link above is about reified generics in the JVM, not just the Java language. Which is great news.)
Way to Make $100 Daily with Phone
You opt in when you choose to buy a piece of hardware from a vendor, and when you sign up for a carrier. Apple needs to identify phones that are flagged as stolen. They also need to connect the user to the carrier through their software and hardware, which means they must have a level of visibility as to who the user is.

The the distinction in Perl is context. If I want to flatten that pack of dogs into a collection of individual dogs, I'd use the `@` sigil. If I want to operate on the pack as a whole, I'd use the `$`.

Context and list flattening are probably the most foreign parts of Perl to someone who doesn't know it. Everyone fixates on the sigils, but the weirdness in the way sigils operate stems from context.

When you call a function, the arguments are flattened into a single list. So `foo(1,2)` is the same as `my @args = (1,2,3); foo(@args, 3)`. Every expression can be evaluated in one or more contexts. So taking the value of an array in scalar context gives you the length, which is handy but also means that, since 0 is falsy, you can just do logical tests on arrays to check if they are empty. Because the behaviors are relatively intuitive, it's possible to quite a bit of work in Perl before you even understand what context is or how it operates. `if (@foo) { do_stuff(@foo) }` does what you'd think it does, even if you don't know about context.

But it also means that the distinction between `my $match = $foo=~/(foo)/g;` and `my ($match) = $foo=~/(foo)/g;` is not at all obvious if you don't understand context. (The first example gives you the count of matches, the second example gives you the first match because the parens put you in a list context which means you are effectively assigning into a slice.)

Language Server Protocol (LSP) is a standard protocol for "plain old" editors (clients) to make RPCs to local processes that understand the syntax, references, and types of a particular programming language (servers). This reduces the work to support M servers and N clients to M+N, whereas the traditional monolithic approach required M*N integrations. This particular project adds a server for Bash support.
No, the 91% from Pfizer is just announced and covers roughtly 6 months, including up until at least the middle of march, at which time the variants were circulating. Notably this covers the entire time of the J&J trials.

Of course they used somewhat different geographical regions so you can't compare them, but still the 91% does include variants.

why no outdoor dining?
I'm using Gnome. And alacritty draws it's own decoration. But they are out of place and more importantly they don't behave like normal windows. For example to maximize a window normally I double click the title-bar but alacritty (I think it's winnit's fault) doesn't react to that. The button placements in the titlebar is also weird and needs me to be really accurate to click the close (x) button.

I'm not an expert in CRISPR but I don't believe it is being used regularly outside of some very initial studies to human beings. Assuming you could use CRISPR to edit out a bad gene or change to a good gene, then I think yes it would work, but you have second problem.

That second problem is finding those very rare people with the inherited risk of HPV negative cervical cancer before it becomes a problem, which would require us to a point where we have full genetic screening of the entire population as a standard thing (not to mention being sure we know which genes are for sure high risk for HPV negative adenocarcinoma of the cervix, which I don't think we have a clear picture yet).
Heh yeah. It didn’t matter because there weren’t that many people hitting the pages. It was more of a thing to do that was cool because when it hit like a thousand you would be like “OMG a THOUSAND people all over the world have visited my page, what a world we live in”

I'm skeptical of bootcamps. Lambda has "student TAs" that are basically three months ahead of the students they coach. Contrast this to a real school where your TAs are, at worse, undergrads who completed the course and were personally selected by the professor in charge.

That and, from what I've seen, a lot of bootcamps are light on theory and are more focused on rote. A lot of "graduates" will have a "portfolio" but if you go peek at the code from multiple students of the same batch you'll see that it's basically the same project 30+ students did. Same structure, same lines. What I would expect out of a first year CS lab assignment.

It's a policy issue. Having easy access to (non defaultable) students loans created an amenities arm race.

Everyone who lives long enough will eventually get some form of cancer due to progressive accumulation of cellular damage. If you perform detailed autopsies of elderly patients who died of other causes you'll usually find some small cancerous tumors. This is one of several reasons why attempts to significantly extend maximum human lifetimes will probably fail.

It depends on how you regard Taiwan. If you think of it like China's Texas, it's a domestic issue. If you think of it as a nation under threat, it's an international issue.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/03/17/pers-m17.html

"Even as more than 1,000 people die from COVID-19 every single day in the United States, and the disease surges around the world, the US is preparing for a conflict that risks incalculable human suffering. Joining this offensive is the United Kingdom, with the highest COVID-19 death rate of the major European countries, which announced Tuesday a massive expansion of its nuclear weapons program, calling China a “major threat.”

It is not COVID-19, but China that the US has planted firmly in its sights. As Blinken made clear, “Several countries present us with serious challenges, including Russia, Iran, North Korea… but the challenge posed by China is different. China is the only country with the economic, diplomatic, military and technological power” to “challenge” the United States.

On March 10, Adm. Philip Davidson, commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing he believes that China is likely to invade Taiwan within the next six years. “I think the threat is manifest during this decade, in fact, in the next six years,” Davidson said.

Given that the United States has, in the words of Defense Secretary Austin, “commitments to support Taiwan’s ability to defend itself,” to predict that China will invade Taiwan within the next six years is to predict a major Sino-American war within that same time period."
I have played with Raku a bit over the years, but haven't taken it up for any major projects.

But I have found the experience incredibly useful. Using Raku is like working with advanced alien technology. My experience with it changed the way I write other code.

> If you go read what the real experts in a field have to say...

If you go to read what the real experts in the field have to say then you would learn that not a single one of them thought that the EM Drive had even the slightest chance of being true.

In fact all the publications and work on EM Drive strictly avoided the real experts (physicists). They were all engineering journals. A paper that claims experimental evidence that overturns all physical theories from Newton onwards that's very telling isn't it?

https://x42-plugins.com/x42/x42-whirl

"x42-whirl is designed to imitate the sound and properties of the electromechanical rotating speaker device that brought world-wide fame to the name and products of Don Leslie. It is a standalone version of the effect that came to be with the setBfree synth. Rather than simulating the net effect of the electromechanical device, x42-whirl physically models the properties, which results in very accurate representation of the sound of the real device. Since all individual parts are modelled, x42-whirl not only provides advanced control, but also facilitates customizations, some of which are not feasible in the mechanical device."
It's about a show of authority, it has nothing to do with public health? Also who does it apply to jurisdictions that don't have a covid problem? The government is trying to placate frightened Torontonians and entrenched business interests, on the backs of the rest of the province.

For covid vaccines, there is currently a trial in the UK studying the outcomes on alternating doses of different vaccines. A positive outcome would be significantly increase flexibility in scheduling second shots.
