The study did not actually measure Vitamin D levels.

"
But further investigation was needed because observational studies couldn’t establish a causal link between blood vitamin D levels and COVID-19. The challenge in establishing a causal link arises because blood vitamin D levels are influenced by multiple factors including genetics, exposure to sunlight, diet and supplements, and are associated with other risk factors for COVID-19, the researchers said.

“We were trying to get at the part of the variation in vitamin D that’s genetic and leave aside the rest to see whether or not there’s an association with the risk of getting COVID-19,” Cassano said. “And when we do it that way, we find no association, and that’s telling.”"

This was covered in early access here: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/kzy3bb/no_evidence...
No, you probably do not have a book in you
From the study conclusion:

>These results do not exclude the possibility of low-magnitude causal effects or causal effects of acute responses to therapeutic doses of vitamin D.

Further from the study it seems that they evaluated genetically dependent serum levels, not acute deficiencies from, say, lack of exposure to sunlight. This headline and article are misleading.
Yeah, its 7 seats in the same sense as the Tesla Model Y can be a 7 seater. Its technically true, but really only true if some of those people are small.

Even with FAA standard people it would be small for 7.
I've said this since the beginning. Instead of focusing on miracle drugs, vaccines, social distancing, governments should have just given everyone a Peloton or similar exercise bike. There would probably be zero deaths. Alas no one wants to put in work anymore, they just want a quick fix
Hashnode is very close.
I don't really see how this can be true. With my medication I'm more steady emotionally than the average person but somewhat often I think about that it would be like to be a person who doesnt need a mix of externally drugs to feel this way.

I, like you, know how to cope but is that really better than not needing to know how to cope at all? I wish I shared your optimism.

Isn't this precisely the type of comment that goes against site guidelines? Curiously, because of the ideological bent of many in the SV crowd, a comment like this evades the downvoting that the OP gets.

It seems to me that there's a de facto ideological standard around flagging and downvoting, where certain people are allowed to pearl-clutch and pose opposing viewpoint as plainly absurd and lacking the dignity of intellectual consideration.

> People who express disdain towards the current social structure and disparage groups like white men get hired left and right

Have you seen _any_ major tech company with close to 50% women or 40% non-hispanic white employees? In engineering roles? That's just aiming for parity with U.S. demographics, but when you consider how much of the world travels to the U.S. to work in tech, that 40% number should be much higher!

So if women and minorities are not being "hired left and right", and not all women and minorities ascribe to the viewpoint you describe, then that viewpoint cannot be being "hired left and right".

The "old social structures" may be on their way out, but their vestiges are clearly alive and well despite the moderate legal "risk" that has been added in the past few decades. The law may be an asymmetric tool, but as it stands, a tool that isn't up to the task it was designed for.

---

To reframe things, some questions:

How would you define "the old social structures".

Do you think they are good/bad/benign.

Do you they are still present/fast fading/already gone?

> Weather is an alarmingly common cause of accidents in general aviation.

Or—to rewind the causal chain just a little further—pilot hubris, impatience and/or ignorance, which leads to weather being a factor in the first place. The choice to wing it and hope bad weather in the area will not affect you is the pilot’s.

From my shallow study of fatal and non-fatal GA accidents, there is hardly ever such a combination of life-or-death urgency and absence of alternative transportation options besides flying that could justify risking one’s own life and lives of one’s passengers by wilfully or accidentally ignoring weather forecast, and yet too often that appears to be the case.

It’s not a pleasure to talk about incidents like that, but “all plane crashes are pilot error” strikes me as a decent framing of the situation to adopt as a pilot when considering a risky flight.

The argument is usually that you personally making the change isn't significant. Even $2B from Buffet isn't significant on a "US government" level. So making that change would "hurt" Buffet a lot for not much gain.

Changing the law, on the other hand, is significant, because it impacts every millionaire/billionaire.
Yeah, as I was reading this, I couldn't help but wonder if genetic markers are sufficient to estimate vitamin D levels alone. Honestly the title of the article should be something like "Genetic markers of increased vitamin D levels do not correlate to lower severity of Covid-19"

The quality of an answer is often orders of magnitude more important than the speed at which it's generated. Speed is important, but it is always secondary.

You wouldn't pull this in for a snappy, reactive UI driven by Python. You pull this in so that you can re-use a server-side module to perform some activity that isn't critical and so not worth re-writing in JavaScript. In another 5 years (assuming Python is still of interest and that this solution worked), it will have been refined and optimized where maybe you do reach for it by default.
>don’t understand/appreciate the advantage of mirrorless

No mirror means easier and smaller packaging due to not having to make space for the mirrorbox and prism.
Have a look at big "business monitors" like NEC E657Q [1]. I was able to find some 55, 65, 75" 4K monitors without smart functions. It is probably not THAT bad after all...

Is the new Edge changing that?
Is anyone working on enterprise-level apps that see a significant number of conversions from IE11 right now?

I'm surprised to learn a framework the size of Vue was still supporting it until now.
Not entirely. There are people at the boarder searching some cars that come in, and searching some mail. Laws could be passed increasing those searches, and even searching everyone's house regularly. This would reduce the risk that you get shot, because some illegal guns would be found in these searches.

To take it to the extreme, the law could force you to live in a little cell locked away from everyone. This would prevent you from being stabbed by someone else (except one of the guards).

Like I said, there's a tradeoff between security and freedom.
They support Edge, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.

That's 87.86% of what users are using (per Wikimedia's stats). To support the 1.76% of IE users, it will require a disproportionate amount of work that could negatively impact other development that benefits many more people.

That's the reality: Development time is a zero-sum game. If you do this you aren't doing this other thing, and in this case we're talking about under 2% that likely should be discouraged from using it.

PS - And this coming from someone whose uses are primarily on IE11 still (see my other post in the thread). Just because I personally benefit from IE11 staying around a few more years, doesn't mean the entire web should bend to that. IE11 must die, we just cannot turn on a needle, and when Edge dropped support for Java Applets/Flash it forced tons of organizations into IE11 for many more years than they would have wanted.
Interesting. Are you using it prophylactically? Is this common in The Netherlands?
Not dumb questions at all.

Multicore adds parallelism via Domains (which are essentially heavyweight threads) and concurrency via Effects and fibers. There's a multicore GC that supports both of those.

We plan to upstream things in two parts. First domains-only parallelism and then effects as a follow-up. When the latter lands users will be able to define their own effects and handlers, yes.

You mean people that Joe Rogan interviewed mentioned other studies that suggested those things?
I wonder how much of a sampling bias there is. It's plausible to me that users of non-IE11 browsers are more likely to be using ad/tracking blockers which block Google Analytics. That could skew the relative population of "users who ran Google Analytics" towards more IE11 users.

Were you able to use other sources than Google Analytics to look at the browser population? I imagine working with the NHS that things like HTTP access logs are harder to wrangle (if they exist at all)

Yup. In larger companies, and honestly in most start ups I've worked in as well, I always said expect something you "deserve" to come a quarter or two quarters after you've "earned" it.

Frustrated that you havnt been promoted even though you have had all the conversations about getting promoted, your boss agrees you should be, and you consistently perform at that level? Give it 3-6 months and it will probably happen.

The machine moves slowly.
I remember when we wrote pages for web standards, and then wasted hours hacking them to behave in IE that didn't support the standards.
Legitimate question: what companies (I'm assuming it's government) done have Chrome or Firefox installed? What is this IE compatibility caused by?

> We also have to consider the possibility of facing automated button-pressing systems. A drinking bird able to press the capacitive touch sensor could pass the Cryptographic Attestation of Personhood. At best, the bird solving rate matches the time it takes for the hardware to generate an attestation. With our current set of trusted manufacturers, this would be slower than the solving rate of professional CAPTCHA-solving services, while allowing legitimate users to pass through with certainty.

Tangentially, one reason why Cirrus has been persuading pilots to use CAPS as soon as they get into difficulties is because it was suspected that pilots often chose not to do so (or delay until too late) because it was widely believed (and is true in most cases) that doing so totals the airplane - i.e. an economic disincentive to put safety first.
What does renege on the deal really mean though? usually in those situations both sides will claim that the other is reneging on the deal

That was when we had no choice but to force in hacks to make things work on browsers that didn't quite follow the same standards. You ended up only being able to use the lowest common denominator feature set or using many hacks & polyfills.

Better is to stick with standards and make the browser makers implement them properly. Of course things aren't perfect still (Safari has a reputation for being slow on the uptake so you can't use the latest & greatest if you need to support those users, and it is best to avoid the bleeding edge anyway (at least sticking as far back as the oldest LTS release of common browsers)).
">You have to be performing at the next level for several months

Total BS too. Maybe in India."

This is not BS. My company in the US expects you to be performing at the next level before promoting you. Where do you work? I work at a company that is regarded as doing the right thing and having good intentions, yet they will make you work for up to years in a role above your own before promoting you.

I did this for at least a year before getting promoted to midlevel. Then I performed the role of senior dev and then tech lead for a year each and still did not get promoted. (They started to talk about it, but wanted me to take a 13% increase in hours for a 7% raise - that's not a real promotion in my book)

I would say the list the OP posted is not great. It might be generally applicable, but every company is so different that it doesn't really matter. Even in the same company with a standardized process, promotions can vary greatly from manager to manager.

I hate visibility. I do begrudgingly agree that it's necessary to get promoted in most companies. I really think that talent identification and rewards should be handled by the managers. Having people toot their own horn can take away from the team spirit between members and even create a perverse motive for what work/tasks people are willing to do. I've seen terrible tech leads that only for to where they did because they were yes men and would take credit for putting out fires - fires that were a result of their own shortsighted designs.

But hey, I guess that's why I'm still a shitty midlevel dev that's only seen a 30% (22% inflation adjusted) pay increase over 9 years and doesn't even make $100k.

Sorry 84% of deaths. I'm also convinced if this virus happened in the 60's we would have way less deaths (per 100,000) even with the lack of medical advancements.

With regard to dark matter: yes there are many competing / mutually exclusive theories surrounding it, but that does not then mean in order to invalidate one of those theories you need to have picked a different one that you like better.

It's not 100%. In one of the flying mags you can read a story about how a VFR (not instrument rated) pilot got into the soup, lost attitude awareness, freaked out and pulled the chute lever. Nothing happens. While the pilot was yanking on the chute lever, taking hands off the stick let the aircraft's static stability take over and the plane flew out of the cloud by itself. The pilot then took over and landed in the usual manner.
