It's split: Hesitation is for sure here, on the other hand plenty people in age ranges its not recommended for here decide to get it anyways. (Here in Germany its not recommended for <60, but not forbidden to be used)
In my opinion, the media and European politicians are responsible for this vaccine skepticism. You reap what you sow.

The politicians banned the vaccine despite there not being scientific evidence to suggest that was a reasonable choice. The media in Europe hyped this up massively.

In the UK, neither of these things happened, and despite there being some degree of skepticism, the vast majority of people are still willing to have the AZ jab.

> The person is tested and the PCR-test shows a positive result for covid-19. Which is true from a month earlier.

PCR tests detect viral DNA in a specimen. To have viral DNA in a specimen requires an active infection as DNA from dead viral particles doesn’t sit around for a month in the patient’s respiratory system. As the immune system responds and eliminates the infection repeated PCR tests will eventually show a negative result. Perhaps you’re thinking of antibody tests?
At this point, AZ must really regret having gone down the road of working with Oxford to supply a Covid vaccine. They are not even making money off it at the moment. Pfizer on the other hand hit gold with their BioNTech collaboration. They are making 10+ B this year and probably even more in brand value. AZ on the other hand lost billions of brand value. Is there a morale of this story?

There are pros and cons for each method.

Perceptionally, charging hourly is safer or you. But clients always think that you will pad the bills and take more time to do things than it should. It's in your best interest to take as much time as possible. That's just the way it is.

Now, fixed bids. There's a risk doing for a fixed price. What happens if it goes longer, and you spend more time than you planned? You take it in the shorts. But, the customer knows that you are going to do your damnedess to get it done on time and under budget.

But for comparison, look at public works construction companies. Those that build airports, highways, etc. All the companies give a fixed bid, and the lowest fixed bid wins. Adding a $5 billion wing to a major metro airport Like LAX or SFO is incredibly complex.

They key is to be super careful on your bid. And, like construction companies that do bids on complex projects, you have to be super vigelent about change orders. Meaning, the person you are working for wants changes to their original proposal. Because then it changes your bid. And, in construction and in programming, there are ALWAYS changes. So if they change their specifications in the slightest bit, you have to be 100% sure to charge them more. This is how construction companies actually make money. On the change orders. Here is what the ABA says about construction change orders: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/construction_industry/pub...

This is just general information for you. I am not a lawyer.

But, after you make a bid, and the person that you are doing the work for decides to make a change, that's on them, so they can't really accuse you of trying to "pad the charges."

Fixed bids are actually really great if you get super good at doing one thing, and get it done under the time you bid. If you work super fast and efficiently at an hourly rate, you won't get paid as much. For instance, if you do a bid to do create a software powered toenail clippers for $4,000, and you've done it before and can do it in 2 hours, you get paid $2,000 per hour. But if you do an hourly rate at $150 per hour, you only get a total of $300. So doing a fixed bid, as long as you actually know how much time it will take you, is the best of all possible worlds. The only thing to be 100% on point about is that any changes make a change to the fixed price, and you can either go hourly or fixed price on the changes, depending on the situation that you can do.

For sure you need to make progress payments as you go along, and make sure you charge a hefty amount before you even start. Whether it is 25% or 33%, whatever the situation demands, but you want to get some cash flow going right away. Cash is king. Money talks, bullshit walks. Never take someone’s word on it. Never take any job where you don’t get paid a portion up front. Before you walk in the door. And make sure you watch the definitive video on getting paid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U
If you imagine a container as a tarball, then scratch is an empty tarball. Each time you copy a file or set of files into the container during the build, you get a new tarball or layer. Some base containers provided by OS vendors, e.g. CentOS, Debian, are a single layer with the entire OS filesystem inside including tooling, libraries etc.

Scratch has no tooling or libraries or anything. It's empty. You typically add a binary into it and then just run that binary, but due to the lack of libraries, it just be statically compiled. So in answer to your question, you can run statically compiled C. You can't run Java due to the lack of JVM which I believe has its on set of filesystem dependencies, but I'm not a Java dev, so I'm not entirely sure.
Headlines are news as well as most people don't read articles. Lies or misleading information in headlines is therefore also fake news.

It doesn't matter that it is "technically correct", what matters is that they are intentionally spreading misinformation. I think it is ok to be harsh against everyone who intentionally spreads misinformation.
I believe a lot of people are missing the point here that you can choose whether or not to the take the pill. Many women I know choose not to take it because of health side effects. The issue of side effects with vaccines is a lot of people feel like they are being coerced through talk of vaccine passports and other measures.

A couple of months ago Politico also reported that the EU had waived its right to sue in the AZ contract[1], so what gives? Would it kill Politico to give some additional context when a story seems to blatantly contradict its own reporting?

> rather than about increasing manufacturing capacity?

They have looked into increasing supply (see the kerfuffle about the Halix plant) but in the end it seems that the process AZ is using scales poorly. (Not sure how many were produced by the SII, probably not much more than that)

I think AZ delivered approx. 25Mi to the UK and 30Mi to the EU. Compare with Pfizer who delivered somewhere close to 300Mi doses already.
The question isn't whether they need to be able to commit to the Linux kernel. Probably they don't. But the question is, what reputation does a CS department (and consequently a university) have, that has been banned from submitting patches to one of the most prolific open source projects around?
Where do you get that from? There's a huge effort to scale up the production up, which you can see by the weekly increasing output for example of Biontech [0]. Discussing one thing doesn't exclude taking care of another.

The article gives a much different impression than the headline. Corrupt civil servant using threats of violence to siphon money under the cover of "employment" is much different than some rando playing hookey and getting away with it.

Sorry if this is considered off-topic, but I mus thave surely missed something about why AstraZeneca is seemingly the only choice on the vaccine market.

I am German, we developed the Pfizer vaccine, but there is _no_ news about it, it seems like the AZ vaccine is the only option.

Is it a case that Pfizer wasn't viable, wasn't used here, or only made lucrative contracts with other countries, or is it being used, quietly without drama because they are fulfilling their obligations, unlike AZ who seems to be in the news every day.

I celebrated the success of the scientists (Turkish immigrants) who developed it, after the waves and waves of racism in Germany, having immigrants develop a vaccine helped vindicate some of our nation's political decisions to open the doors and borders, that we do in fact benefit, and, sadly now they seem to be invisible again.
> the surprising factor does play into it. No bad actor will ever give you heads-up.

I too thought like this till yesterday. Then someone made me realize thats not how getting consent works in these situations. You take consent from higher up the chain, not the people doing the work. So Greg Kroah-Hartmancould could have been consulted, as he would not be personally reviewing this stuff. This would also give you a chance to understand how the release process works. You also have an advantage over the bad actors because they would be studying the process from outside.
Why not restrict internet access to the "Whatsapp" in your app settings when you need a break? Works fine for me.
> So if you're in space, and you're flying nearby a big ship full of triangles, such as an imperial star destroyer, you run your framerate down to the ground if you render even only 5% of it, as it renders everything else as well.

There is limiting of overdraw (not rendering the same pixel multiple times) which is easy with Z-buffers. There is frustum culling (not rendering triangles that are outside your FoV or facing away from you) already of course.

The final type of culling is occlusion culling which is avoiding rendering that starship because it's on the other side of a planet from your viewpoint (for example). That's not a feature of 3.X but it's a feature of 4.0. The technical details are pretty interesting, it uses Intel Embree (the raytracing library) to do a low-res raytrace to find the occlusions.
On the contrary, I think it is quite normal to leave a positive review when you've had a good time at a restaurant. When I look for restaurants, I certainly read both positive and negative reviews.

You make this almost binary by using food poisoning as your metaphor (either you get it or you don't), but normally there is a much more nuanced range of experiences.
It's closest in spirit to Steve Yegge's "Universal Design Pattern": http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/10/universal-design-pat...

Basically, the core data structure is a special kind of dictionary. When you fetch a key, if the dict doesn't have it, it recurses to a list of "parent" dictionaries that you can specify.

I don't know Rust's traits / trait objects, but the observation of the paper is that you can break apart your interfaces into a "traits dict".

E.g. dog traits would have bark and pant, and would have a parent link to animal traits, which has eat and sleep, which has a parent link to entity traits, which might have position / collision model / etc.

This lets you mix and match functionality at runtime, very similar to adding classes to Python's __bases__ list (which I'm quite find of for mixin purposes: https://github.com/shawwn/mtftorch/blob/8b680ab86603a7718044...)
After trying such history-based automatic tools I found they lacked predictability for me.

So the very small 50 LOC kd was born:

kd # jumps to project top level (based on .git/Gemfile)
kd foobar "$PWD" # saves an entry named foobar pointing to $PWD
kd foo # jumps to foobar
cp qux $(kd foo) # expands to foobar's value

I should probably make it expand to absolute paths so that I could change "$PWD" to .

It matters for the sake of understanding what was going on, and why the issues weren't caught in review.
The manufacturing process is a matter of precision engineering. "Remaining stuck" is just... psychologically difficult? How do you compare which one is "more difficult"?

Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
You're confusing the economic effects of inflation and deflation with environments of low and high real interest rates.

I'd counter by saying that the strongest decades of median real wage growth and general GDP growth were during the high inflation 1960s and 1970s.

I'd argue that the fact nobody was starving at the beginning of the great depression means that the economic mess didn't cause the starvation is a bit of a straw man. Of course, at the beginning, people don't immediately find themselves in destitution, they draw down savings. The destitution begins when the economic disruption becomes prolonged.

I can't find any primary sources on the government policy of destroying food, but I'd conjecture the reason it was done (if it happened) was to support nominal food prices and therefore the apparent credit-worthiness of farms in a highly deflationary environment. Of course, the real problem was that there was insufficient aggregate demand to support the nominal food price, i.e. deflation combined with wage-price downward stickiness caused the market to fail to clear.

As far as I know, Germany helped BioNtech with their new plant but even then it took at least half a year to get that going. And that was despite the fact that they could buy and adapt it instead of building it from scratch.

For example, in software, maybe it takes a single developer a year to build a compiler for some advanced language and we can speed it up to 3 months by adding some people. But could we get to a week by adding 12x more? We can‘t and it may be the same with vaccine production.

If you bother to click over to "os market share" on the same site he links, you'll notice that Safari usage almost exactly matches iOS/MacOS combined usage.

So we're all in a bubble, including this author, where we worry about what browser we use. The vast majority of people just use the default browser on their OS.

I have no opinion of this guy's use of Safari, and I hope he has continued success and fun using it. But for me and mine, I'll continue to use whatever works best (that being un-Googled Chromium on Linux).

> Symbols just appear you are supposed to know where from

While I don't like Symbols yes you are expected to know Ruby to at least a basic level if you wanna write Rails.
It's like me saying in Node you are supposed to know Promises/async. Of course you are.

Also what were you using to support the concurrency before the switch? There are quite a few solutions out there you could have tried before doing a rewrite. Seems to me like you guys just wanted to write Node, which is fine, but it probably cost you quite some time.
I'm super disappointed with wsl's move to hyper v. I tried out wsl2 3 months ago, overall system performance took a hit, not just slower WSL experience, but slower windows experience too.

In addition, I had to choose, wsl2 and no other vms through vmware or virtualbox,. or WSL with vmware and virtualbox. they claim they work together nicely, but they don't. vmware and virtualbox crash, freeze, and crawl to a halt constantly when hyperv is enabled.

so back to wsl1 for me. I love WSL, I think it's the future, just please don't build that future on top of hyperv!!! :'(
Well you have to attempt it to see. I can imagine marijuana legalization getting a few GOP votes.
FWIW it depends on the environments. Oblivion also doesn't have occlusion culling at all yet it ran on the original Xbox 360.
Which is probably unnecessary if you've got the deployment platform to yourself and can decide that just-run-this-binary is suitable, safe, and manageable. Personally I prefer "just install this .deb" because it wraps up dependency management along with everything else, but that's not been a popular opinion for a long time.
> the point of the legal proceedings is to make it mandatory for AstraZeneca to provide the doses set out in its EU contract

The point of a contract is always that fulfilling the contract is mandatory.

That said, legal proceedings won't make anything go faster any more than other attempts at what sounds like plan economy.
I'm an old-timer so was introduced to Unix before bash was ubiquitous. Actually it was csh/tcsh which later introduced me to "interactive" command history/editing. With interactive command history/editing, the old tricks to avoid excessive typing became less essential.

But I still use some of the old techniques as they continue to save time/typing - particular "$!". And even though I've reduced my reliance on aliases, I'm so used to jumping between directories that "pd" (pushd) and "nd" (pushd +1) are some of the few I continue to find myself installing.

The other shell techniques (strictly speaking editing features) that I was surprised to find are generally less used these days are the shortcuts like CTRL-w to delete the word to the left of the cursor or CTRL-a, CTRL-e to navigate to the start and end of the current line.
I so far stumbled upon only a single game that doesn't work on linux for me, and it's not because the game is not working, but because the anti-cheat tool has problems and the game doesn't let me join multiplayer sessions.
And don't forget to include making sure to create the right resource and namespace constraints so that the one binary doesn't gobble up memory endlessly or use up the file system or put your infrastructure completely at risk if/when it's compromised -- whether you do that with systemd units, raw cgroup/namespace finagling, or regular tried-and-true linux user-based resource segregation.

Containers do provide benefits.
Nowhere in particular. Perhaps my sentiment is more a reflection of media coverage focusing on issues like TFA, rather than on increasing supply which is less scandalous.

Thanks for this link. I would much rather that the media kept me up to date on this instead!

I use `autojump` (aliased as `j`), which sounds quite similar as it also records your most frequently visited directories. It's as simple as entering `j down` to enter /some/path/to/MyDownloadFolder.

For exploring massive file trees, a terminal file manager that allows you to preview the contents of subdirectories without entering them is huge time saver. I use `lf`.

Yes, but if anything should happen to you because of a non-recommended vaccine you are on your own for treatment and disability pay.
There are a couple, Moderna, Pfizer/Biontech, Johnson&Johnson, AZ and Curevac (soon to be approved as it seems). AZ is the cheapest one (Oxford has them selling at cost so far) and was seen as the most promising last summer.

AZ is getting a shit loaf of bad press, so everything AZ related is "news".

All vaccines are effective and working, Pfizer as well as AZ.
