Respectfully, are you a doctor? I am not. That link is from 2007 and talks about a modified Adenovirus. There’s so much medical jargon in there that I can’t make any sense of it, let alone connect it to increased risk of strokes for an Adenovirus based COVID vaccine. I understand why vaccines can be scary but ask yourself this: is your unease based on a deep medical understanding of the subject matter, or an underbelly feeling?
Putting together an MMO requires knowledge how to make your software systems scale. Putting together a demo in Unreal is the exact opposite of that. That is why you see so many bad MMO-s, they can make a demo, but they could not make that scale in 100 years.

If going by the above logic that just showing expertise is enough to get funding, then why was an Unreal demo valued as expertise at all?

If they showed expertise by demoing a network server/cluster, or world streaming, or asset import workflow, then i would say that there is some relevant expertise.

But they didn't even import a custom character into Unreal for their demo, how are they going to make a character creator and a clothing system?

Good work btw but what is the advantage over using Azure Data Studio? (other than the lack of MS telemetry)
SLES is a recommended platform for SAP, and that has had btrfs as the default filesystem since version 12 in 2014.

I'm using btrfs on several systems, laptop, desktop and server, on various configurations of disks.

It has served me well for years, on the server it helped me detect a bad SATA controller. It would work perfectly in light usage, but start introducing errors in heavy usage, which made one disk inconsistent with the others in the storage pool.

Btrfs alerted me to this and after moving the disk to a good controller, I ran btrfs-check --repair on the unmounted disk (after reading the warnings), which got the FS back to a consistent state, remounted the whole pool and ran a btrfs scrub to get everything back in line with itself. The whole process did take a while, but I had backups and wanted to try out the tools. In the end there was no data loss, and the pool is still running perfectly today.

So, it's totally possible that the EU isn't doing enough to approve alternative vaccines, I don't know.

But dude, the EU is huge. They're capable of pursuing multiple avenues at once. I don't understand why they shouldn't try to get more doses from AZ _at the same time as_ trying to approve and procure vaccines from other sources. It's not one or the other.
> Containers are not a security measure. They're acceptable for some resource constraint considerations, but you should not ever use them because of security concerns. If that's something to worry about, use VMs at the very least.

This is repeatedly really commonly, but is bordering on wrong more and more every year. At the lowest level it's not even completely correct. Containers are resource + namespace isolation -- cgroups and namespaces -- isolation and kernel-assisted resource hiding/access control is absolutely a facet of good defence-in-depth. Enhanced security is not a core feature of containerization as a whole but it can absolutely help with your security posture.

For what % that satement is wrong, it's even more so because it fails to consider the container runtime. Container runtimes these days (containerd is the best one IMO) include ways to run containers at different levels of isolation (VMs and as micro kernels), so a move to containers can absolutely help security posture, because now you don't have to pull out packer/ansible/etc to build your VM, you can just take the same container you were running and change the runtime. Time to ship/launch improved security features is important, and containers can reduce that burden for teams.

Containers are a process isolation and resource control tool -- they can absolutely aid in security posture. Would you say the same about BSD Jails?

Just so there's some more value here, here are some projects that are somewhat close to cutting edge (though it's been a while) in this space that I like:

- nabla-containers.github.io/

- https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker-container...

- https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime (see https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master...)

- https://rootlesscontaine.rs/

- https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/cgroup-v2...

- https://starkandwayne.com/blog/the-capable-kernel-an-introdu...

The container ecosystem surfaces a lot of really cool resource limiting and isolation techniques and puts them in very close reach.
"The vaccines prevent illness, but maybe not infection. Covid vaccines are being authorized based on how well they keep you from getting sick, needing hospitalization and dying. Scientists don’t know yet how effective the vaccines are at preventing the coronavirus from infecting you to begin with, or at keeping you from passing it on to others. (That is why vaccinated people should keep wearing masks and maintaining social distance.)"

It's still a valid point, a prosecutor is the one presenting a case to a grand jury and has ample opportunity to tip the scales towards indictment or not. It's not like the accused have any similar opportunity to present their case to the grand jury, it's completely one-sided. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it's important to note that an indictment is not comparable to a case that's been tried in court.

I don't see how appending

--cpus 2 --memory 500mb

to the argument vector liberates these options' definer from "understanding [...] the subsystems that power it", and reflect on their potential impact. And I'd argue that THIS is the real complexity incurred by these kinds of resource constraints that seem so simple on the surface - not the specific syntax or location you have to use to introduce them. All of which makes systemd unit files and their settings' implications (which are amazingly well-documented btw) as good as any other option, imho.
It is literally impossible to deliver on even half of their promises with their budget and team. Even 10x that budget and team size is not enough. It is a scam that works because most people don't have an understanding of the challenges and costs involved in game development, much like how most people don't understand the challenges involved in operating an online service like Facebook or even Hacker News.

Companies with ~100m worth of funding and 100+ member teams have tried and failed to do less than these con artists are promising on a shoestring budget.
An acute crisis requires a different mindset. When you shut down half of your economy, introduce curfew, try to keep people in their homes, and plenty of people are also dying, you're not at war but it's not quite peacetime either.

I got the spirit of the comment. At the beginning of the pandemic, there should've been overwhelming support for therapeutics and vaccines.

Multiple countries should've been preparing manufacturing facilities well in advance, and those that couldn't should've been scrambling to order from every vendor just in case. A "war effort" if you will. Instead we got a very inward and reactionary response (lockdowns etc) but lacked that longer term visionary response which required foresight of only six months.

The following is my speculation, but - it's probably a consequence of having mostly lawyers in charge, and having elected representatives rather far removed from a direct democratic vote as in the case of the EU (although non-EU countries mostly responded in the same way by ignoring therapeutics and vaccines too)

I'm working at a shop where we have to use extremely large images (10 - 40 GiB) on a platform of 60+ medium sized blades (4 - 12 cores, 32 - 256 GiB RAM, 200 - 1000 GiB SSDs). Startup time for running such huge images often is 5 - 10 minutes. They contain prepackaged test data so that they can be run in parallel against newly built versions of our software - there are about 30ish of these images.

You not only store these images once in the registry, but on all container hosts that they might run on. And you need to transmit them, if they aren't cached there, yet. And you may want to redeploy new images several times a day, as they get updated, new ones added, etc.

To be fair, the above is not the use case containers were originally intended for. And if your 10 GiB container image only runs on 3 or 5 nodes and only gets updated once a week, you obviously don't have to worry about the overhead too much.

But at scale (beyond 10 nodes) and/or on very fast development cycles (=more then one deployment per day), size IMHO starts to matter.

Keep in mind that UPX needs to decompress the whole executable to memory and thus cannot make use of OS-level memory sharing. Normally, when you load the same executable twice, its base image will only consume memory once. But it with UPX, you cannot make use of that. So in the end, it may use more resources than you thought!
Just look at how the "leaders" in place got there. Backroom deals instead of elections. Von der Leyen did not achieve a single thing in her career except for hiring consultants.

Our politicians are mostly lawyers, the job they and their staff do is all about laws. And even at that they suck, as is evident by the long list of laws they pass which are then denied by the supreme courts as unconstitutional.

We still don't have a good way of finding the best leaders and putting them in the potions where they are most effective, neither in politics nor in the economy (although there are positive examples of people and mechanisms in both).

I think we are super complacent with our representative democracy and we are failing to develop it further and make it better.
I think the missing part for it to be a true pyramid is that you don't profit from your referrals referrals and so on. That's what is usually called a downline in MLM/pyramid schemes.

Speaking technically about the production of human speech, the quantum would be the phoneme, the linguistic definition for a unit of sound. Words, after all, are composite objects and should therefore not be considered quantum: in written language, they are composed of letters, and in spoken language, they are composed of phonemes.

But that wasn't what the OP was asking, or at least not how I interpreted the question. The question was whether thought should be considered the mechanism/substrate underpinning human language. My comment was about the relationship between thought and language, about which of those shapes the other, and to what extent they should be considered independent or universal.

Yes, when we (adults) reflect on how we talk, we tend to form opinions and meanings in our head before we produce sentences. So that might lead us to conclude that thought informs language, and not the other way around. Yet children learn to speak before they learn to think, at least that's the prevailing theory in child development studies. So then "the idea" cannot be the quantum of language because it is only true for adults who have already learnt both.

Then we also have evidence from cultures like the one in the article, which shows that when a language is missing certain concepts (numbers in this case), the adults who grew up in that language also lack the abstract mental capacity associated with it (counting in this case). The blanket statement "the idea is the quantum of language" implies that ideas are universal concepts, yet the evidence we have shows that ideas are shaped by one's childhood language.

So, to reiterate my point: language and thought are most likely two interdependent processes, each of which shapes the other. The more interesting question is whether we should really consider them as separate processes, or whether "thought" is just a manifestation of an internal dialog with ourselves, in which "ideas" are the langauge.
I feel like I gained more from this comment than the last month of mainstream media combined, so thank you for sharing.

Is Pandoc being used mostly to join the files?

I recently started converting Markdown files to epub (and kepub) for my new Kobo. I load the Markdown straight into Calibre though.

On a side note, is there some benefit to mobi over epub? Kepub seems to be the preferred format on Kobo, because for some reason it turns pages _much_ faster than epub and gives access to reader statistics (if one cares about that).
Building a Chrome-based fetcher for Crawly
One thing that makes Godot smoother in my experience is its project structure. It doesn't use traditional ECS, but relies on inheritance and composition. Combined with the "everything is a node" mindset, it makes it much easier to maintain a mental map of the game. The node hierarchy tree is much more revealing than in Unity atleast (I've dabbled in both).

EDIT: This doesn't just apply to 2D, so maybe it's a weird reply.
My point was that if the state space of the market has lots of undiscovered areas all bets are off who is going to succeed an who is not. I would not call gaming tech "complete" by a long shot.

I would argue the NBA example is not a good one. In that the parameter space is quite fixed, whereas in technology and games, I would claim the state space of what success looks like is much broader.

Yes, if you have super accurate metrics of what success looks like and the domain is highly competitive and lucrative then the scrappy upstart has poor chances.

I dont' think you can have a Billy Beane/Moneyball/Sabermetrics moment in NBA like you had in baseball.

But I think gaming and technology still has lots of unfound angles to be discovered.

I would guess the question YC pondered was not "can these guys create an MMO" but "could they have a small chance to bring some value adding innovation to some place in some market".

Size of PM Cares fund was estimated to be $1.23 billion dollars[1] (from May 2020, the most recent source I could find). The size of India's food subsidy program is over 2 trillion dollars.[2]

Any law that gives regular law abiding citizens privacy is also shielding "terrorists and pedophiles" by affording them the same. Any such law will get blanket application over the whole population.

On the other hand the real issue I see is that while the EU will put the breaks on its own development of the tech, the US and China will accelerate it. Sooner or later the EU will likely drop the position when the stakes are high enough and it suits "someone", and just back channel to obtain access to it. Which is possibly the worst position to be in.
