I say that we could /very likely/ detect the methods necessary to edit the virus.

How do you suggest we would be able to completely engineer, from scratch, a novel virus with 1200 mutations spaced randomly throughout the genome, that would rescue properly and be capable of infecting a novel host? I know of no such modeling technology to accomplish this. All of these are phenomena that happen easily and constantly in a massive natural reservoir of any viral population.

And if you think it was not strictly "engineered" but instead "evolved" selectively by hand, then how can you escape the S/NS ratio problem? How can you escape the adaptation and glycosylation problem I describe in my original post? How could you avoid the issue of adapting to the host it was evolved in, and acquiring these "lab animal" or "cell culture" specific adaptation mutants that would then need to be somehow removed. Or it likely would not infect humans with any great reproductive efficiency. And then it would have an S protein that would be a bit more adapted to humans, as it has become over the course of the last year. As it's evolving in us, it is becoming better at infecting us. If it had been evolved in humans prior to the pandemic, this would not be as necessary and it would not happen on the scale it's currently happening.

And when exactly would China have started this little "experiment?" Where? With what subjects? How did they keep it secret?

It might not have been that recent. Incremental GC was not new in the patch, what changed was the tuning. It happened some time in the last six months and was a huge improvement for the use case of realtime rendering. At the time I was comparing performance between release and nightly, and it was night and day.

Fuck yeah it has been. Many gyms around the world have reduced their opening times due to increased cleaning requirements, leading to more crowding.

I can’t go do my lifts at 2AM anymore because it doesn’t make sense to have cleaning staff around at a time when the gym would normally be almost empty.

Well, higher than non-composited, non-vsynced X11 (but yes there are fun solutions like trying to render at the end of a frame to let the clients run ahead). But any reasonable major DE was doing compositing, and even minimal WM enthusiasts typically ran xcompmgr/compton/whatever because we're not in the Windows 95 era. Comparing to that, Wayland is much better, with direct async communication between the client and compositor, instead of Xorg acting as a glorified IPC broker that can get busy processing stuff…
I am disappointed at several comments on this thread. Professor Hewitt, I personally think you've enriched the community by putting these claims here. They've led me to read more about several things, which I will list here for anyone else who might be looking for related topics: The difference between indeterminism and nondeterminism, bounded and unbounded nondeterminism, the actor model of computation, local arbitration versus global consensus, and state machines versus configuration-based computation.

I recently bought something on Etsy from what seems to be the creator of this service. It has a serial port on it, and it behaves kind of like a Hayes modem.

I don't understand why software architect isn't a position in any of the new startup culture tech businesses. The advantage of having an older, very wise and very experienced engineer whose job it is to document, plan and understand all the moving parts of your project would have been invaluable instead of expecting all the engineers who are stressed about hitting deadlines and chasing down memory leaks to do that work on top of their daily requirements.
Gatsby actually works extremely well for no-JS users. It is a static site generator, after all, that serves you raw HTML with a secondary JS payload. It's just that the author broke his website by setting the opacity to 0 on load so he could do a fade-in effect with JavaScript, even though there are much easier ways to do that in CSS. All the text is still there, just invisible.
Hi, I made a response to the Deigin medium post in your original context. Sorry I don't have time to go more in depth, that thing is a beast.

ok as a product designer in the business what ppl fail to understand is that the smaller companies like figma

1. move faster and are more innovative

2. priced right for most designers

3. know their audience

adobe is not as nimble, has excessive pricing and for the most part the traditional apps are robust but harder to use

designers change software pretty often these days because

1. students can't afford adobe and use figma or sketch, get into the workplace and expect to use the same tools

2. almost all designers, even product designers to work on the side for fun...and no i do not want to pay adobe 75$ a month for a bunch of apps i will not really use ( i myself use figma for all my personal projects now and my team at work will transition to it this year)

3. transitioning from sketch to figma to adobe xd is not that hard as they have similar features...it's def easier than going from PS to figma. which is why almost 0 product designers use PS anymore

4. mid-smaller companies can change design software pretty easily..we are always moving forward as designers

5. ppl only stay at a company for 2 yrs so if I go from using Figma at this small company, I might bring that along to a larger company if i get hired

You are arguing against points I never made.

I didn't accuse him of transphobia. I said he can't go a few months without new accusations of transphobia. That is just a fact. If you want, you can go through those Google results from a few comments back and try to refute those accusations. I don't care enough about Joe Rogan to try to prove anything about him.

I never said Spotify's policy was "a gold standard" or even "good policy". I'm not defending their actions in removing specific episodes. I have no idea why those specific episodes were removed. I simply started with a comment that this was an obvious eventuality due to Spotify's policy and what Rogan says (it is a simple fact that he is often accused of spreading hate speech, whether what he says is actually hate speech is almost irrelevant because the accusations alone are enough to know that he would eventually be perceived to have violated the policy).

This is the most naive take of the real world. Yes. The Chinese government can easily make Chinese scientists lie when needed.

"with zero evidence"? The Chinese government told their labs destroy lab samples at the beginning of the pandemic. The Chinese government refuse to give raw data of early patients to the WHO investigation team. Not matter what the origin of the virus is, the "covering up" is strongly supported by evidence.

Rust's actually-safe pointer arithmetic is done via slices (because it's necessary to track the length):

slice = &slice[1..];

It compiles to roughly `ptr++; len--;` and a bounds check if necessary.

`1234 as *const u8` and `ptr.offset(n)` are also safe, because Rust allows invalid/dangling pointers to exist if they're never dereferenced.
Good.

It's funny our team literally just last week did something like this at ___ BigCorp. We need to verify a JWT signature from a new 3rd party provider and then append a secure auth token that is accepted by the backend service. Couldn't this just be done in the backend service? Why yes it definitely could. But apparently there are rigid security policies in place, and this stuff appears to have been carved in stone and approved by SOC2 auditors and lawyers and regulators or whatever and they have agreed that the backend gateway would use X specific formats for authentication and nobody can make any exceptions. So instead our team is spinning up an ad-hoc lambda function attached to cloudfront which will use none of our usual tooling & frameworks and have zero visibility for our security teams and be full of whatever soon to be out of date 3rd party js dependencies we need, all in the name of security so that we can pretend that the API we're communicating with is using our approved auth token format when they aren't. Just another day at a big company, really.
You should read the article. The patents are from 1981 (and to a lesser extent 1995). It explains how they get around the typical patent limitations which are usually not more than 20 years.
How is _LIBCPP_ASSERT implemented? I know that GCC can make more intelligent optimizations when you explicitly rule out user-level undefined behavior as in:

In the specific case highlighted in this article will_not_happen() can be replaced with “hi < lo”.
Yeah, the voting and collapse buttons should really be actual buttons, not links. It's fairly trivial to make buttons look like links if that's the desired effect.
Well, glad it worked out for you, but I am not the first person to find that doing too good a job at undesirable tasks means everyone thinks of you when they want them done.
When I worked in print design, we’d typically send two things to the printer: a zip of the Quark or InDesign “collect for output,” and a PDF for reference.

Later, though, I seem to recall some printers accepting PDF/x-1a files – I don’t know if the industry has transitioned to that now, or if some still prefer a collect for output.

This isn't new. Brands frequently have different names in different countries due to connotations. Characters in books and films get renamed when they cross borders. Cloact was renamed to Reagent due to people associating it with cloaca. I seem to remember another project that was renamed due to it's connotations in Spanish but I can't find it now.

While it was never renamed, GIMPs name has drawn objectors since well before 2016.

The only reason this is a big deal instead of routine like those is the current backlash against "PC culture" or "SJW"s.

Overall the cheapest option is usually to curtail the excess production.

Energy storage costs money.

Useful industrial processes that need electricity cost money to set up. The lower the utilization factor the less the cost of electricity factors into the total cost.

That said, time shifting load is the way to go to consume excess energy.

“At this point craft baking, at least here in Oregon, is miles ahead of Germany. Same goes for coffee and beer, times sure have changed.”

I think Americans tend to overdo things and make them too fancy. German bakery items often tend to be very simple and straightforward. Americans tend to tweak the recipes and add more and more stuff which makes them worse in my view. The same happened with pizza. In Italy they are pretty light with a little cheese and a little sauce whereas in the US they often load them up with way too much stuff.
The patent system, at least in the US, is broken and supports many actions, like patent trolling, that only benefit such vermin.

Rather than trying to make life harder for such trolls we should focus on fixing the patent system. My 2c.
Write and Journal.

Whenever I feel unmotivated and cannot move forward, if I am not tired or burnt, then it is because I don't see a path forward. That is because my thoughts and information are disorganized and they pollute my sight.

Writing is a very good tool for organizing one's thoughts. For whatever reason thinking with one's short term memory, at least for me, is inferior to writing or even speaking(rubber ducky?) As Jon Haidt says, we are not a logic processing machine but a story processing one(or something like that).

If you have requirements for your work, sit down and write about it. If you don't know how to start then write about how you acquired those information; write about what they mean, what you want to do and anything that peaks your fancy. Over time you will develop your favorite style.

As an aside, journal your days too; looking back on your day you can put your personal story in order and then see if something went poorly, or well. If something doesn't make sense.

Again, over time, you can use your work or personal journal to derive other artifacts. Think of it as a data lake. Want some slides? documentation? forgot a command? forgot why you did something? open up your work journal and copy paste some lines, images or code snippets.

In summary I highly recommend writing. It is a valuable tool that for some reason is not emphasized enough.

One more thing, if you are expressing something, telling a story and such, you may type for speed. If you are thinking and exploring, its best to hand write, it will slow your brain down; plus, there is something about writing letters, a meandering doodling hand an rhythm that helps think.

From experience not always. If the dedicated GPU gets selected as BIOS GPU then it might be impossible to reset it properly for the redirect. I had this problem with 1070.

Funny, I see the possible future differently. I am inclined to predict that the option to use ad blockers may come to an end because browsers and other software financed with online ad-derived revenue have full control over what extensions users are allowed to run. They have full control over that system for extending the functionality of their software.

Whereas the system for supplying software with IP addresses should continue to remain controllable by the user.^1 The online ad ecosystem has never had full control over that system.

1. If they so choose to exercise said control. As cited, probably most users are not currently exercising that control. This allows online ad tech to operate with relative ease, at relatively lower cost.

As much as anyone loves their ad blocker (to be clear, I think they are great), we really cannot dismiss the role of DNS in ad blocking. After all, it is DNS that is being used to bypass uBO on browsers other than Firefox. The only reason uBO can achieve a 70% success rate^2 blocking CNAME-cloaked ad/tracking on Firefox is because Firefox has a "DNS API". As such, uBO can check the results of DNS lookups for ad/tracking server hostnames/IPs.^3

Of course, a user who blocks ads/tracking outside the browser by controlling her own DNS lookups also has access to those results. No API needed. (Although I think it's a great project, I personally do not use Pi-Hole. I was using DIY DNS (without dnsmasq) long before Pi-Hole.)

One solution I can see to a future where ad blocking extensions are banned is a user-controlled proxy that performs similar operations, but outside the browser.

(I make most HTTP requests for recreational web use outside the browser, through a proxy I control. For recreational web use, I do not use a major browser to make HTTP requests to the proxy. The programs that I use have no financial dependence on online advertising/tracking/data collection like the major browsers and many mobile apps do.)

2. According to the paper cited on Github page that comprises the OP.

3. According to some uBO users sometimes the uBO-triggered lookups are undesired, e.g., when using proxies/VPNs.
