I think this has reasonable explanation:

“The high number of open source vulnerabilities in C can be explained by several factors,” the organization added in a blog posting. “For starters, C has been in use for longer than any of the other languages we researched and has the highest volume of written code. It is also one of the languages behind major infrastructure like Open SSL and the Linux kernel. This winning combination of volume and centrality explains the high number of known open source vulnerabilities in C.”

So... C++ is there. That it isn't the top of the list is a reflection on the fact that it is rarely used for important stuff.

Nobody registers CVEs for computer games, yet they are predominantly written in C++ and full to the brim with security holes. If what you said was true, these should fare better than C code, and yet they do not.
For me its shocking that we as a population have become so numb to so much death around us. Wonder what it says about society in general. Would be fascinating to read any research reports on that aspect.
"With" doesn't exist in Java, but it was introduced in C# 9.0 as part of the .NET implementation of records:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/c-9-0-on-the-record/#w...

I think the author is more saying that a "with" operator would fit into Java record semantics but might not be compatible with Lombok @Data classes or Kotlin data classes (though it looks from your link that Kotlin actually does have something very similar in the "copy" method).
As much hate as there is for MBAs and managers on Hackernews, the people who actually learn to manage well, as in, build teams with the potential for high performance and motivate them to perform, are nearly priceless for the reasons you've listed.

Note: obviously some people learn this without formal training, but to some extent it is a teachable skill that one can pursue in business school
False. The JVM already does quite a good job with escape analysis, and record types just add extra semantic information to potentially further improve the situation.
>> GTK+ is really just a toolkit for GNOME projects. All other users are secondary.

They do seem to be paying more attention to MacOS and Windows with GTK 4.

I find the notion that GTK is just for GNOME rather funny since most the GNOME apps are very basic. The Software app is notoriously crap, but that's due to a lack of people to work on it. Their map app isn't much more than a GTK window frame on google maps or something. The video player... I mean can't they adopt VLC as the "official" media player and just make the GTK version of that really nice? VLC could use a better GUI. Same for web browser, why have a GNOME one that will never be able to keep up? Why make all these little toy apps anyway? Maybe I'm conflating gnome with a small linux distro. But once they move beyond system and config tools that's what it starts to become.
>is where can I go to get everything in an individual hobbyist subscription pricing?

No. Many of the journals listed will have some OA papers, while other papers will be paywalled. There are few journals (like Nature) that are entirely free to read sadly.

https://sci-hub.ee/ is the way. Just give it a DOI and you're good to go.
I was experimenting with it this week as well, and that exact issue was what had me uninstall it. I guess this post doesn't add much value, but I thought the (synchronicity?) Of our experiences was interesting.

Yeah, this was my take away as well. Also, iirc their claims of Alacritty being the "fastest" are dubious at best.

I used Kitty for a while instead, which is very similar. More recently I've been trying out Foot: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot
I think it's kind of unlucky in some ways that Covid affected the old/unhealthy so disproportionately. I feel like we would have responded in a much more assertive and effective way had that not been the case. More people who were not in the risk groups would (ironically) have been saved, and we'd be a lot further on the road to recovery.

Not a lot of young people know a huge amount of people in the risk groups, it's easy to dismiss if it hasn't affected someone you know.
>you can cite them numbers of average years of life lost per covid death

That's practically inviting them to cite back the average life lost from the 1918 flu. If you're trying to counter someone who's downplaying Covid that is probably not something you should invite them to do.
Then it should have carried prominent notices to that effect or at least used a different version number. Version 1.0.2 hardly screams ‘pre-alpha’.

> As I’ve stated multiple times, I take no issue with you disagreeing with a specific set of policies pushed by DEI initiatives, but that is different from denying the existence of racial discrimination against BIPOC.

You are arguing that somehow implicit racism is stronger than explicit racism the social justice DEI solution furthers.

You also argue that on whole systemic racism through policy and habitual behavior benefit the whites that experience explicit systemic discrimination furthered by widespread DEI policies.

This is just not a very strong claim.

The median pre-tax median inheritance is according to Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) $69,000 [1] (the average was $707,291, indicating a small percentage get a much higher inheritance). So 50% of people that inherit get $69k or less, which is not amount that sets you up to live off that asset.

Any anticipated inheritance is also commonly reduced by estate taxes, attorney’s fees, funeral expenses, probate costs, and paying off the deceased’s debts. Having to share the remaining money with siblings, grandchildren, charities, and any other individuals or organizations in a parent’s will could further reduce a child’s take. And a parent who has remarried might leave assets to a new spouse, diminishing or eliminating what children expected to receive.

> DEI initiatives rarely advance strict racial quotas or thumb on the scale affirmative action policies.

This is not accurate. DEI initiatives seeks to increase diversity in hiring by changing the hiring criteria to hire more of favored identities (inclusion) while promoting favored identities to achieve equal outcome (equity).

But DEI does not apply positively to black viewpoint opponents of social justice such as libertarians and conservatives. They are by social justice seen as not exhibiting an "authentic black lived experience". This activism is a terrible denial of individuality based upon race.

I did the exact same thing, trying for a better LaTeX. But my experience was different: I found it very easy to customize and programmatically generate content. However, I have used Racket and lisps/schemes before, so that is likely the difference. I encourage you to try programming with Racket outside of Scribble to get a better handle on it!
Some journals are trying to capture that space too, many are developing their own pre-print servers for who knows what reason.

Completely false.

Each app can track user behavior within the app itself, and can send this data to an aggregator who pays for it.

That way you are tracked across all participating apps.

This was common practice until Apple banned it.
To be fair, I feel it's been naturally downplayed already. It's really not shocking anybody anymore. There's a weird fuzzy average life that emerged where most people are just waiting for the thing to go away and the casualties have become numbers.
Agree, but it would be nice to have access to the entire composer community without setting up a composer environment, so not to toot my own horn, but I wrote proof of concept script to download PHP composer dependencies by parsing comments from the PHP script itself.

It would be nice to have something like this more integrated within the shell or maybe composer itself.
I scripted in C for the longest time, after thousands of lines it was in muscle memory, and I could reuse boilerplate. I was profoundly embarrassed to then discover Perl; I felt late to the party, like I'd thawed out of a glacier.

Then Python, which stuck. I tried various lisps, Haskell, Ruby, Lua for scripting, and kept returning to Python.

I realized Python was truly boring, and I needed scripting to be fun, to keep my interest up. I relearned Ruby. Ruby is fun.

> Something to consider if you see anyone trying to downplay this.

It's invalid reasoning to use this study to "upplay" the pandemic.

It includes deaths due to depressions and delayed medical interventions, which you could argue isn't the result of COVID directly, but the result of lockdowns.

So when people use this study to claim "see, this many lives were lost, we were right to institute lockdowns" - that's circular reasoning, part of the reason so many lives were lost is because of lockdowns.
HIV is a lot harder to spread than airborne viruses. But, imagine how much worse it would have been if it was airborne.
I trust someone who acknowledges that statistics can be used deceptively vastly more than I trust someone who doesn't.
I know what you mean. It seems that STEM these days is loaded up with people who are in it only for the money. Back when I went to college, there was no such thing as billionaire engineers and scientists. STEM people were "nerds" and did not have nearly the status that doctors and lawyers did. People who went into STEM went into it with full knowledge that it was a low status profession. There were jokes about moms being bitterly disappointed that their progeny wanted to be nerds rather than doctors or lawyers.

I remember once a young lady trying to pick me up. She got around eventually asking me what I did for a living, and I said programming. Her interest evaporated the moment as that word left my mouth. (Her face and posture fell and she turned away.)

"Almost Live" relentlessly mocked engineers as being nerds and unable to get dates.

This all underwent a titanic shift once tech people suddenly started being billionaires and media darlings.

> Something to consider if you see anyone trying to downplay this.

I admit I'm the morbid one in the group, memento mori and all. But I think the real stat we should track is years of lost life expectancy. That's the only statistic that makes sense when doing cross disease examinations. Not speaking specifically about covid, but more generally, something which primarily kills young people is much bigger deal than something which primarily kills old people.
Considering this is their reaction to someone pointing out that their green is actually yellow, I'm not surprised that they are in an echo chamber.

The behavior doesn’t change. The implementation does. Those are orthogonal.

And yes I see it every day. The collection interfaces in Java have countless swappable implementations. Those are basically getters and setters on a vector.

I also had to change entity storage to columnar for a project. Did that. Never had to change a line of code outside the entities.
That's a great point: the statistics in the OP might have been calculated by people who did not take into account the possibility that a large fraction of the sample might not be free to choose.

> did so after traveling to Florida to catch covid

uh, what? I don't understand why anyone would willingly try to catch a disease...

(get your kids the chickenpox vaccine, don't do those chickenpox parties if those still exist. The vaccine drastically reduces the occurrence shingles later in life. I'm a bit envious that my younger sisters got it, but I got chickenpox as a child. Seeing it flare up in my dad every 18 months doesn't give me hope).

There is this wonderful technology that is not man-made which can control the carbon footprint in the least-cost, most-efficient, and least-overhead manner: it is called a "tree".
And for the latter, you can cite excess mortality rates.

Good example of the asymmetry of bullshit here.
From what I have seen, I don't believe they ever intended to support those apps that didn't provide decorations. The move towards CSD was intentional for them and started 10 years ago, and supporting those CSD apps is the primary focus. This wasn't a problem for Qt apps either because Qt does provide decorations.
I think you’re talking about Figure 5 which is the ratio of total to reported COVID related deaths. This would mean that CA underreported COVID related deaths compared to Florida.

Figure 7, the cumulative total death rate, is probably more relevant to the point you’re trying to make, in which case FL and CA are in the same bin.

One conclusion you might draw is that the effectiveness of lockdowns cannot be inferred from this single map.
I'm pretty sure there have been non-detectable covid variants in the wild in the US for months now. I went through this with my mother, she was admitted to the hospital for a surgery and contracted some kind of "flu." She tested negative several times for covid. She stayed with me to convalesce and I came down with a "flu" in the middle of summer that had most of the symptoms of covid, except the loss of taste/smell. But my PCR test came back negative.

I also had zero side-effects from my vaccine, which I understand is supposed to make people feel sick the day after the second dose.
> There are other more sophisticated methods which I can't mention here

I found that very funny in a austin power kind of way, like this is some sort of giant secret technology.

The most efficient methods of watermarking pictures in ways that are easy to detect, easy to hide for the viewer yet hard to remove for the copier are all well known and detailed on the internet, in fact wikipedia is a decent source before going into more technical content.

And in terms of "memes", this sort of watermark is most often done by individual users for reasons related to ego rather that copyright protection. Because the actual money making memes oriented websites will prefer the good old heavy duty watermark all over the picture, since it will be copied anyway they figure they might as well ensure the final viewer knows where it came from so he can look for it and get them new traffic.
I haven’t seen their license but they founded ARM and even though they don’t retain any ownership of the business I have heard that they retain a license that allows them to do pretty much whatever they like with the architecture in their own products.
As claimed by Rogin, the medical research community is privately divided but largely unwilling to speak out publicly because they don’t want to be labeled conspiracy theorists, don’t want to be associated with supporting a position tangentially aligned with trump, and first and foremost don’t want to jeopardize their grants or careers.

According to Rogin, Fauci did not so much covertly direct funds, but rather, quietly reinstated gain a function research which was stopped by the Obama administration (without approval from the Trump administration). He also doubled down with new grants in the same area as a response to the pandemic.

I personally find none of this particularly difficult to believe given other positions the medical establishment has taken over the coarse of the pandemic and the extreme lack of curiosity in the press.
Maybe lockdown is not as effective as people think - not for deaths anyway (I'm sure it keeps case numbers down).

For deaths it seems by far the most important is not lockdown, but rather protecting elderly. So maybe Florida prioritized that, and didn't spend effort on lockdown, while California prioritized lockdown thinking it would also help elderly.
As others have pointed out the death toll from COVID is truly astounding. Get your vaccines if you can.

That being said, excess mortality is not purely from COVID. There are widely reported drops in treatment for various cancers [1,2,3]. The link between COVID and diabetes is also very complicated and will take years to figure out what happened. The grim bright side is that we've seemed to hit peak excess deaths and may be dipping below and so the 900k number might decrease a little moving forward [4].

"Most of the downplaying I've seen has revolved around the idea that those who died would have, "died anyway" from some other ailment or that hospitals are finding any reason they can to attribute deaths to covid."

The authors of this are doing exactly the same thing, but from the other direction:

> Given that there is insufficient evidence to estimate these contributions to excess mortality, for now we assume that total COVID-19 deaths equal excess mortality. For the reasons presented in this section, we believe that this is likely an underestimate.

This is all simply noise. The way we'll find out the answer to this question is when someone pulls the death certificates for 2020, and actually tabulates the percentage directly caused by Covid.

It will happen, but this work isn't it.
Since when are hospitals paid for having their patients die a specific way?
It's your newspaper's way of getting you to get the print version. Dead tree ads are far more valuable than online ones.

I think Redox has the chance to avoid some of the mistakes Linux is stuck with; poor legacy TTY system, locks on files are cleared when the FD is closed, inconsistent system call behavior. It is technically a Unix-compatible OS but creating so many things from scratch allows a lot of flexibility to avoid old problems.
So, I totally agree with everything you've said, (I am also a data scientist, so appreciate that part especially).

OTOH, ads pay for a lot of stuff, so if you could delete the raw data after some short time, and only retain the model which was used for serving/prediction, then I think a lot of those concerns go away, and the whole infrastructure around data is made an awful lot safer.

Lots of your other points only really apply to the US (the cavalier attitude towards data and privacy, especially), so I wonder if this is something that would work better in the EU, because you do have much stricter laws around the use of personal data.

We should be concluding that lockdown and masks leads to more deaths, not less (or at the very least that they are an unjustifiably expensive public health intervention), and begin rolling back all restrictions immediately.
This is accurate. HOWEVER being hostile to your OS can result in problems. If google REALLY wanted to do something, they could build in a form of adblocking into the OS layer itself. They can also keep that up to date via app updates from their side. Its definitely a battle, but facebook analytics is well documented by adblock communities and google keeping that list in the OS would be a possibility.

Having said that, google has no intention of waging war against facebook. They have an understanding already.

$14/hour * 40 hours/week * 50 weeks is $28k/year.

$20/hour * 40 hours/week * 50 weeks is $40k/year.

This is life changing amounts different.

Considering a living wage is considered $14/hour for Idaho[0] for a single, unmarried, no kids adult, I think the bigger problem is probably not unemployment, but with businesses not realizing that their wages are not competitive for labor against almost anything else.

You can't pay the median or worse and expect hiring to be quickly, especially in Boise - a growing urban area that is probably well outside the state's average.
