Another factor to consider is that COVID is contagious but blood clots are not. The multiplicative (if not exponential) nature of COVID spread makes this a no brainer that the vaccine should be reinstated (and just monitored).

I suspect that what's happening is that these institutions don't think in consequentialist point of view. They are not comfortable with diverting the trolley even if the math checks out.

The idea is that when you get sick, your body just starts randomly throwing things at the virus to see what works, and eventually it finds something that “works”, even though it might not be the optimal solution. The vaccine gives your immune system a plan for the “most effective” solution, which is expected to act more quickly and cover more variants. This is why they are also recommending people get vaccinated even if they have already recovered from an infection.

I assume you are asking why Iran shouldn't have nuc. weapons.

A detailed answered would require several pages, but in short - Iran and the west have opposing views and conflicting interests. The western interests would be put in compromise if Iran gains such a leverage.

As a theocratic regime, Iran has been actively exporting it's shiite fundamentalist ideology by force (from Yemen to Lebanon and even some non-muslim countries in South America).
It would be naive to think that Iran will stop there.

For example, just imagine what would happen if a nuclear Iran invades Saudi Arabia and take over its oil fields.

Or if a nuclear Iran decided to block the Suez canal, effectively cutting off all of Europe from China, India and Japan.

They don't have to use nuclear weapons to inflict damage upon the west.

But airplaines are engineered by humans, we know everything about how they are supposed to work until the last bit of physics.

We don't have the same absolute understanding of mechanisms with vaccines. Therefore, I am not sure we can use this metaphore to suggest that it is the right choice in this terrible time to stop vaccinations, causing slowdowns to happen and scepticism to spread in the population that is bombarded by the press which creates an echo chamber repeating over and over superficial news.

I personally don't expect a vaccine, nor any medicine in general, to be supposed to have absolutely zero incidence of possible negative side effects.
To the kind of people here - not sure that is true.

I used paper because I found myself obsessing about layout & formatting & open format & organization & backups etc. i.e. optimizing everything except learning.

I also found a lot of discipline in "we're gonna keep hitting this topic until you're capable of condensing this down to a one pager". Once it's on a page learn it off by heart and then exam. Often found myself with 3 pages on 1st attempt and it then ending up being a valuable exercise in "ok what here really matters".

Similarly had to force myself to take away all the million colours and pens. Mechanical pencil, ruler, unlined paper. The end.

> Up to 19 hours of battery life based on typical Surface device usage. Testing conducted by Microsoft in February 2021 using preproduction software and preproduction 13.5” AMD Ryzen™ 5 Microsoft Surface® Edition processor, 8GB RAM device. Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. The active use portion consists of (1) a web browsing test accessing 8 popular websites over multiple open tabs, (2) a productivity test utilizing Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, and (3) a portion of time with the device in use with idle applications. All settings were default except screen brightness was set to 150nits with Auto-Brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network.

I think the key in there is "modern standby." What is the ratio of standby to active use? That and 150nits brightness, though that is common for a lot of battery tests. (I personally like 250-300 even indoors.)

> it seems to be established wisdom that the 16 tracks are 3 drum tracks, 1 (Moog) bass track, 2 vocal tracks, 2 horn tracks and 8 Clavinet tracks.

There's just no way. The drums themselves need at least 4 tracks at a bare minimum (stereo pair overhead, snare and kick), but far more likely the drums used and preserved 8 tracks for final mixing (which is relatively standard). An engineer simply would not waste 8 of 16 tracks on Clavinet. What is more likely is the 8 tracks of Clavinet were indeed actually recorded but then bounced down to two tracks (panned for stereo), freeing up the remaining 6 tracks for isolation of other instruments during mixing.

Scratch 1 track (everything channelled here initially, replaced later, so 0 track)

Clavinet 2 track (initially 8, bounced down to 2)

Drums 8 tracks (overhead pair, snare, kick, HH, tom toms, floor tom, last for one of bottom of HH or snare or outside kick)

Bass (Moog) 1 track

Trumpet 1 track

Sax 1 track

Vocals 2 track

Replacing the scratch leaves 1 track for Tonto, (but it sounds to me like the trumpet is doubled, 2 separate tracks performed the same, oppositely panned wide).

I simply don't know what to listen for to hear the Tonto.
I think most drones wouldn't be 'taken down' by lasers: flight control and GPS should still work fine. But seems reasonable that enough lasers could blind the camera, eliminating it as a surveillance asset.

This is the kinda thing that helps illustrate just how powerfully dynamic Python is. Almost nothing is statically bound. Super cool if you want to write code that inspects some dynamic state and has special behavior. But the cost is that there's very little static checking capability.

This code "should" result in a NameError or something similar. But resolving that identifier to a name won't happen until we decide to evaluate the right-hand side of the `or`.

Thankfully, most python static checkers make some mostly-sane assumptions and will flag this code as an error, despite the subtle possibility of legally creating this name using some other Python/CPython features.

Type annotations are a great idea but in practice I don't see them used much. Should be great for dev teams working on bigger Python projects.
People are just so used to doing stuff like this. The upside is that the companies who do these transactions have a lot of exposure, and thus incentive to not mess up. People are probably just numb to a lot of these sorts of things, either that or they're just unaware that they're using a third party. It's possible that younger generations aren't even aware of how to use other means, like cashiers checks or money orders.

IMO the culture will go to the keyboard because the web is the medium in which your notes obtain a social dimension. Otherwise they are isolated paper notes meant to be discarded after the class is done (unless you are the kind of person who boxes your notes).
This is the kind of thing you could end up with from an automated test case reducer. Start with a typo that causes odd behavior (which might be interpreted as a CPython 'bug') and use something like creduce to whittle it down to the minimal case.

interesting fact is that selling options is strategy called Selling Volatility, meaning you bet that things will slow down and normalize.

When applied to tech debt, it can be thought of as betting that product velocity will slow down, and you will have time to refactor/reliminate tech debt sometime later.

Of course when developing new product/startup product velocity only increases over time. And if you did accumulate tech debt - there will be some time when you will have to rewrite stuff from scratch, because refactoring and/or maintaining codebase will become unfeasible.

and it leads to conclusion that the best time to take on technical debt - is maintaining stable product, when product velocity is slow. you implement change quickly, then over time you refactor it. Which actually perfectly aligns with some agile methodologies (XP).
Yeah but if the goal of the room is to foment hatred and target harassment at an individual who isn't in the room, that's still abuse.
Yeah, this also evaluates to [15] and is easier to understand what's going on:

[15or x in (1, 2, 3)]

As another person pointed out, Python's lexer sees 0xfor (or 15or) and splits it into "0xf", "or" ("15", "or" for the other case) then parser processes it as usual.
Yes but this is Esports. Bugs are famously used competitively. The entire super smash brothers melee tournament circuit uses bugs to wave run; if you don't use the bug you won't be competitive.

Yep pharmacies are everywhere in FR just behind a corner (as well as immobiliers). I was in shock when I went to Amsterdam and after walking around for half an hour didn't come across any and had to look up on Google Maps.

Unlike other countries, in FR only pharmacies can sell drugs, no regular shops / supermarkets (even basic stuff like paracetamol), and I guess that's the reason why there are so many of them.

I'm a GNOME user and almost never use its dock directly. I have my typical programs added as favorites on the dock and switch to them directly via keyboard with meta + 1 through meta + 9.

Seldom used applications don't make that cut, but they're... seldom used. I tend to switch to them using alt-tab rather than clicking through on the dock.

In general, I prefer using the keyboard, so I have never once wished that a dock was more prominent in GNOME. I'm glad it stays out of my way until I explicitly summon it with a keypress.
Yes, of course it’s a design Limitation or, as I‘d call it, trade-off. A very few conspiracy theorists may belief it’s “planned obsolescence”. But a model that just places a larger premium on thinness than HN professes to do is far better at explaining this and a number of similar decisions by all sorts of companies.
> Just don't switch to a new keyboard and new layout simultaneously

Why is that? Is it the productivity hit? Frustration?

At least for me, this will be at home personal keyboard, and I'll continue to use the work QWERTY keyboard for the foreseeable future. I might switch the work keyboard once I'm comfortable, but it's not a priority right now.
There's a significant number of employed, productive engineers that are apprehensive about passing such a test. They will fight tooth-and-nail to prevent any gatekeeping to the field. Personally, I would be happy to have my salary double overnight.
They should've but the tech part is relevant. Obvious bad actors that are snooping around in open houses are certainly an issue but can be remediated a lot easier - you can kick those visitors out and bar folks with a history of snooping from entry - both of which work relatively well on the local level.

I think tech is specifically relevant here since this is another clear example of scaling up beyond cultural norms using technology causing emergent security issues - the issues were present all along but there were some systems in place to limit how harmful they could be and technology has released us from those limits.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that Israel is responsible for ME problems.

On this topic, Israel has significant nuclear weapons. Iran’s pursuit of weapons is likely a deterrence strategy. Thus a good way forward is to work constructively with countries in the region towards establishing a nuclear free zone that includes Israel, Iran and Pakistan.

JCPA was a step towards that direction, which could potentially be extended to a broader agreement that gradually includes other countries as well.

We really need to get away from these powerful weapons. The crises of past decades have shown us that the issues that we are facing are global.
