Come on. Did you honestly believe I was referring to the concept of a viral reservoir as a conspiracy theory? This kind of obstructive style of conversation is unhelpful and tiresome. Some other poster above already tried that shtick, you can read my reply to them.

It's almost perfectly urban vs. rural. Urban areas in "red" states are generally blue, and vice versa. "Blue states" are just those with mostly urban populations.

It became more extreme during the Trump era with many historically red suburbs around cities turning blue and some rural areas turning more red.

> You know how to spell a word from the way it sounds.

Spanish is my mother language, and actually it's the opposite way: given a written word, there is only one obvious way to read it (except for loanwords and a few words that keep old spellings like "México"), but given a spoken word, it may be written in two different ways (e.g. vaca/baca, kilo/quilo), or it may have a silent H ("ahí hay un hombre que dice ay"). The orthography is not fully phonetic, but you are right it's infinitely easier than English.

If you want to find languages with an almost perfect phonetic spelling, look at Eastern/Northern European languages with an ortography created in the late 19th or early 20th century.

According to that page "the main reason Alpine aims to replace" OpenRC is they want the init system to "interface with external events". Huh? The thing I like about OpenRC is is if I `grep -R socket` on its codebase then it comes up empty. Alpine seems to be leaning towards s6 according to that page, which appears to have a treasure trove of network services. Last thing I want is to wake up one morning after updating Alpine and have all these scampering daemons like skadnsd, s6-fdholderd, s6-sudod, s6-ipcserverd, s6-ftrigrd, s6lockd, and ucspilogd skulking in the background. Also the boldness of the name. If you name it System 6 then you're claiming you've built something better than Bell System V. The init process has total power over the rest of userspace. I'm sorry but I don't think your system administration paradigm that MiTMs DNS deserves to be /sbin/init. I just want a UNIX-like system with few opinions that stays out of the way.
While generics will allow for such to occur, IMO if the "idiomatic style" is to only leverage it for specific patterns then it should not really hurt general readability for the most used frameworks/libraries. There will, of course, be some tradeoffs that authors will make, but overall I'm hoping it enhances readability, especially for the code my team and I write at least. Looking at the proposal, there is a lot of practical debate about naming, consistency with bytes methods, etc. and such honest debate keeps me optimistic.
Well, in Apple's case, it's because having e.g. Netflix available on iOS devices makes people more likely to buy their very-expensive hardware. If people couldn't get the assorted free service-client apps on iOS, that'd be a problem for Apple.

Even with the store metaphor, "loss leaders" to draw people in so they'll spend money on other things are a popular technique.

This all said, there's a germ of truth in the unhinged paranoia - it's a bit like rolling coal. You heard of rolling coal? It's where people modify their trucks to make them emit toxic black smoke. It's bad for your engine. It's bad for your fuel economy. But, it's also bad for those pussy cyclists and eco-freaks who keep on going on about global warming.

There is a powerful current in politics across the west that is actively, self-destructively antagonistic towards anything an expert says - and it's not based on profound disbelief in the value of expertise, but rather a deep disaffection, a desire to tear down the whole edifice of culture that makes you feel small - and that has carried into coronavirus precautions, where the bogeyman is not the virus, but the intrusive, patronizing and sinister powers of 'public health', a perfect representation of the entire institutional culture that your average NRA member hates.

A bunch of confidential documents were accidentally shared by the city via Dropbox, and these bloggers downloaded them.

Some of the documents were newsworthy, and the bloggers published them. Other documents were private but not newsworthy (personnel documents with social security numbers, for example), and the bloggers did not plan to publish them (because they are good people and were not out to destroy innocent public employees). They are agreeing to delete those files.

“Return” in legal parlance means delete when the files are digital copies.
>If you are using 100% green energy, that energy can be used for something productive not providing PoW

You can say the same thing about ANY activity that isn't an arbitrarily defined form of altruism. Sports? Concerts? Video games? All vast wastes of time, money, and energy that could be spent fighting poverty or feeding the poor. This betrays the intention of criticizing bitcoin's energy usage because it moves the goal post of "...but but it's not using renewable energy" to "...but but that renewable energy is not being used for what I want it to be used for".
And to that, a factor I'd add is "contempt for the weak". Umberto Eco mentions it as #10 here: https://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list...

My experience in Go in production is limited to ~150 lines of code I wrote to contribute a small feature for one Terraform provider.

The provider in question is a very thin wrapper over an API library. The feature I added contained almost no business logic of its own and would probably take 15-20 lines in a more expressive language.

Based on that experience, I would not choose Go for a project of my own (unless it could directly benefit from Go's strengths, i.e. unless it required fast startup, portability and concurrency).
There were literal videos about it at the same time ( a year ago)

"""

Greylog Extended Log Format (GELF) is a log format that avoids the shortcomings of classic plain syslog:

* Limited to length of 1024 bytes – Not much space for payloads like backtraces

* No data types in structured syslog. You don’t know what is a number and what is a string.

* The RFCs are strict enough but there are so many syslog dialects out there that you cannot possibly parse all of them.

* No compression

You know that many hash functions are more expensive than iterating 1k worth of items that are contiguous in an array to find a matching item.
Smart contracts can automatically execute code that makes transactions happen. With a traditional contract you need a third party to do that (or you have to trust the other person).

This allows for a lot more efficiency as people who've never met can make trades on an open market without having to involve anyone else.
What you're trying to say is that Go's domain is mostly serverside. That's true. But it sounds too useful and ambitious, so you've modified it to "CRUD microservices". Which is silly and false, but works better as a slur on the language.

What's dispiriting here is that there are cogent arguments against Go --- decisions Go could have made differently that probably wouldn't have cost the project much in terms of its other goals of compilation speed and simplicity, but make it more annoying to work in. I switch between Rust and Go every day and miss pattern matching almost every time, for instance.

Instead, though, we get the same dumb innuendo. "It's a language for managers". "It's a language for CRUD apps". "It's a language for junior programmers". Never mind that the kernel of truth in those statements is shared by languages like Python; you can't really get away with trashing Python like that, or you'll be haunted by the ghost of one of Peter Norvig's terrifying shirts. Which is a way you know not much is really being said here, except that there's some weird turf war between Go and whatever language its haters are advocating for.

would have been useful for something we ran into at a previous job. For legacy reasons large csv files had been zipped instead of gzipped (or some other streamable format), and were causing some process in our data pipeline to consume too much memory.

I wound up coming up with a quick solution that appeared to work. Taking advantage of being able to get s3 objects at arbitrary ranges, I implemented seek and read on top.
I don't know the status of this on a practical level (e.g. in any given distro) but systemd does support daemonless dbus access over a private socket (/var/run/systemd/private) in some scenarios. Would that help?
Population density is the reason.
This isn't about "killing" the virus, it's about inhibiting its ability to reproduce. Pointedly, it's about doing so without introducing mutagens like EIDD-2801, but instead by inhibiting a specific ribosomal behavior induced by a component of the virus. Finding a safe mechanism to do so is the next step in their research. I suspect your interpretation of the article might be off.

This work is a great example of the new insights we get from recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy. It's much easier to formulate responses to mechanisms when we can get clear pictures of the sites in question.

California was an early hotspot for the virus, and had a huge amount of cases early on when treatments weren’t great. There was also a big surge over the holidays.

The places hit hardest were very dense cities... viruses spread very well in big cities, regardless of mitigation steps.
This is my experience as well with contract language; return all files and delete/destroy all copies. With contract work “return” makes a bit more sense, as the other party may not have the most up to date versions of documents I worked on, for example.

Some of the States with the strictest measures were the ones that got hit hard early before much was known about the virus (NJ, NY, CA) so their death tolls could be expected to be higher. Additionally many States that were more relaxed also are more rural so one would expect some differences from that too. Hoping there will be a retrospective on all of this.
This line of argument is so tiresome. If death is not a big deal to you, you're welcome to give it a swing and see what you think. Or to take as much personal risk as you want. But people get to choose. If a recreational skydiver gets pancreatic cancer, that's still bad and I refuse to pretend otherwise.
Native English speaker here, with training in linguistics, and several other languages under my belt over the years.

In my native dialect, statements including "had to have been being" are rather common. My friends, family, co-workers, etc. use them regularly. In fact, I recall saying "he'd have had to have been being reckless" just earlier today. All five of the other people present- both immediate family and non-relatives from this area- knew precisely what was meant. In other words, that intimidating clump of verbs passed unremarked.

Further, to andensande's point, one might be inclined to replace that god-awful monstrosity with something like "he must've been reckless." To do so would be to wipe out some subtleties of meaning from the original. A replacement like "he must've been acting recklessly at the time" feels like the same general meaning to me, but it also sounds stuffy and snobbish in tone (for all that it's probably a much more effective construction).

All things considered, every language that I've ever dealt with in any capacity has had its share of peculiarities. In hindsight, however, I don't recall Arabic, Zulu, or even Gallo-Lati... er, I mean French... having quite as few peculiarities as my sponge-like mother tongue.

It wasn't my race or ethnicity that kept me from seeing it. It was my upbringing. As soon as I started spending time with people who had different preferences than me, I realized what I was missing out on. I had the same thing with Indian food when I met my husband. My parents didn't like curry and told me I wouldn't either. My husband (boyfriend at the time) talked me into trying it and damn is it tasty.

I got the idea that it came from black neighborhoods from another comment on here saying it came from black neighborhoods. I don't know anything about Chicago, so I assumed they knew what they were talking about when they said those neighborhoods were largely black.

I don't understand what's so bad about realizing that other cultures have different tastes and they may very well know about a delicious combo that you don't see in the mostly white suburbs where I'm from. What's wrong with saying that instead of writing off curry and spicy chips as foreign, maybe we should try them?

I hate this focus on race and ethnicity. Genetically, it's an incredibly hard thing to nail down, if it's even possible. Let's not be like my grandmother saying that n-words and illegals eat gross things and she only wants to try things that her gradually expanding definition of white says is OK. Differences in culture are a good thing. They make life richer and more varied.

Why shouldn't we make it a point to listen to the voices that have been pushed into the background for the last couple centuries. There's obviously a lot to learn and a lot we're missing out on.
I think this is a fair question. I don't think it was anybody's intention to deliberately kill people. Even assuming the worst about people's nature, it's just not great for political careers. I imagine there was a reason for the decision however ill considered.

> So there was overcounting, but somehow excess mortality in 2020-2021 is higher than in normal years? How?

People dying of heart attacks because they didn’t seek timely care because of fear of going to the hospital. Medical screenings postponed. Undetected cancers. Suicides. There is a direct correlation between unemployment rates and disease. My annual physical, due in July 2020 was cancelled. How many other people’s were as well? Also one also should note increases in deaths of despair. That’s a real thing.

Excess deaths can’t be called “covid,” without proof that they were. How would else know Covid was the cause and not the flu? Are we just assuming excess deaths were Covid? The uncomfortable truth is that lockdown proponents don’t want to admit that their policies may have caused more damage than the disease from which they were claiming to protect us.

I don’t know the answer. My point is that excess deaths aren’t necessarily Covid deaths. That’s an assumption, not a fact.
Well... not that the advice isn't solid, and she's a good teacher for driving this point into the programmer student's minds. But saying no sign is a bit extreme, there is some level of design in any natural language. Icelandic has a committee that decides on new words. Instead of using foreign loan words they largely make up their own new Icelandic words when needed for new concepts. In German the spelling is centrally planned and gets reformed every other year. Which is why German words are mostly spelled as they're pronounced, as opposed to English. Chinese grammar is super simple and logical. I don't know if this is due to design but it wouldn't surprise me if there had been some reforms in the past. Especially since standard Chinese used to be a somewhat artificial literary language. And speaking of writing: All alphabets are designed of course. Korean is a great example for a really clever and logical design. The reading and writing in turn will have had an influence on the way we think and speak, since it formalized and standardized languages.

> It allows having user services without having to hack around it with cron

Recently, I started using pipewire, which is designed to rely on a user-level service to start and stop the pipewire process.

To bypass this requirement, the slackware guys came up with an elaborate solution that wraps the pipewire command with a daemonize tool that is supposed to cleanup after itself: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/using-...

Meanwhile, the gentoo guys just did the simplest thing possible: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/f788f38/media-video/pi...

Of course, with both of these workarounds, the semantic changes from "start this process once the user logs in" to "start this process once the desktop environment starts", but the end results are identical for almost all users.

I’m not a linguist either, but I’d say most of this is correct, though incomplete. There’s a bunch of different ways of classifying nouns, including those you mention. A complete list:

• Noun classes/genders: usually a fairly small set (<7 in most cases outside Africa), are marked on multiple words at once, commonly distinguishes male/female or animate/inanimate

• Noun classifiers: commonly small (<20) but may be a larger set, most commonly occur as free words next to the noun

• Numeral classifiers: can be a very large set, occur next to numerals to specify what you’re counting

• Possessive classifiers: occur in a possessive construction to show the exact relationship between two nouns

• Verbal classifiers: incorporated into the verb to show what kind of object it’s acting on

• Deictic classifiers: incorporated into deictic words (like ‘this’ or ‘that’) to precisely specify the kind and orientation of the object you’re referring to

And then of course these overlap somewhat. Tuyuca — the language with ‘50–150 noun classes’ — has a set of classifiers which act simultaneously as numeral classifiers, possessive classifiers and deictic classifiers, as well as modifying adjectives. GP’s example of Bora seems to use numeral classifiers.

(All this is taken from Aikhenvald’s Classifiers, which is probably the best resource if you want to know more about this.)
