And this is where you list the root problems in academia and show how yet another virtual token solves them, and this helps people to see its value, and not dismiss it easily.

Oh, wait. You don't. Not here, not on your website. I mean, you do mention that "Further details about ResearchCoin can also be found on the ResearchHub Notion page.", but don't even link to that page.

> I imagine air traffic over Belarus can be avoided with minimal financial losses and Belarus itself only generates a small amount of traffic

The ban is for Belarusian airlines over EU members countries. The one who is being targeted to be "financially hurt" is not the EU countries themselves but the Belarusian airlines. I'm sure they'll feel the impact very soon, as they'll basically need to cancel every flight unless it goes to Russia.

I don't understand how BMW hold on to their reputation for making cars that run reliably for years. In recent years, their cars are largely shiny toys for the lease market, with an excess of gadgets and value engineering.
I think that there is another factor - extreme abuse!

It seems pretty obvious from even a casual acquaintance with alcohol that consuming 10 units in a sitting (one or maybe two bottles by the OP's rating depending on the Georgian sizing and strengths) is extremely bad for you. Anything that steals your sleep and leaves you feeling sick with a headache is kinda self evidently bad - right?

I don't know - but I guess that must be in the paper. I had intended to read this properly after I looked at it when the story came out, but I haven't had time, sorry.
It's probably going to be both ways, though. I can't imagine Belarus not retaliating (though the EU has already decided to avoid their airspace, anyway).
Fun captcha but headphone warning needed!
Of course he did. It just got a lot harder for Belarusians to come to the West / Westerners to visit Belarus. You can now expect Belarus to cancel its 30 days visa-free entrance program, which requires that visitors entered the country through the airport.

The actions by the EU only help Putin and Lukashenko.
Such tyranny exist because people allow it. Do you think nations should not bear responsibility for _their_ governments?

The actual REPL is the least impressive thing about replit!

If you use an HTTP server it will automatically route whatever port you opened to 443 on its own replit.co subdomain. If you use a program with an X11 context, replit will automatically detect that and render it in its own in-page visual context; plus they allow VNC connections to that environment via NoVNC. They have an HTTP API that allows repl-instance-specific persistent storage.

I'm not a paying customer or an employee or anything but I gotta say they're pretty innovative. (I will agree with others that the documentation IS definitely their weakest point, but that in part because they have so many features.)

If the old context is useful, sure. but it often isn't, and that's what causes people to dislike necroposting. But without a specific policy/instance in mind discussing this is a bit moot, since everyone has a different level of reasonableness in mind.

> Sanctions appear tough but will isolate the Belarusian people even more.

Dictators only caring about themselves and isolating their own people even more than before? Color me surprised.

> The EU could up their game by recognizing the democratically elected Belarusian individuals as the rightful government in exile

Unlikely to happen, the EU has a strong history of not getting involved in the democratic process no matter how ugly it gets. Look at the "reaction" (or rather lack of reaction) from various referendums in EU countries and also abroad, and you'll see their default stance when it comes to "helping spread democracy".

I think they carefully try to avoid ending up in the same position of the US, who has meddled in so many elections worldwide that it's hard to even keep track of them anymore.

In short, I believe you can't be sure. Every service I know suffers the problem of black-box, uncontrolled, unknowable spam filters at the destination, which is why web confirmation pages always say something like:

It can be mitigated by "doing things properly" but you can never be sure. Make sure your email is contentful and meaningful.

I guess that's up to who is interpreting the conclusion (https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2021...)

It says:

> calls on the Council to adopt the necessary measures to ban overflight of EU airspace by Belarusian airlines and prevent access to EU airports of flights operated by such airlines;

Now I don't know how private jets usually works, but isn't there some company responsible for the flight itself? Every plane in existence needs to file a flight plan, and I presume that if the flights origin is from Belarus and owned by a Belarus entity, they'll get denied to enter the other airways west/north to Belarus.

Many responsible adults jumped on the 'it can't be man made' bandwagon out of instinct.

It feels like the kind of narrative that could lead to destabilization and may be fueled by xenophobia.

But beyond the responsible adults there are few people in the world that can study the genome and they never really had internal consensus. They had internal consensus to downplay the 'its made in a lab' conclusion, but there is no clear evidence of the opposite.

Keep in mind at that moment in time this would give ammunition to general public to harass random asian looking individuals.

You can imagine that's a not a conclusion you want to exist in the head of your common hooligan.

You can also imagine that most people convinced of anything are just, ehm, idiots. Because if you can't do the science yourself, or if you can't but haven't, it would be foolish to believe any kind of consensus where most of the people talking also can't or haven't done the science themselves. The majority is always wrong, and scientific consensus of a new event becomes insightfully about 10 years in after a few revolutions of ideas like the one currently happening.

It is in the end just a economic system of gatekeeping by a cabal. A cabal very much in a situation of economic dependency on political structures. So there can't be a scientific consensus about this in the media. Only a political one.

London has this for children and OAPs (I think kids pay a token amount if they use trains...).

For OAPs it's limited to after 930am (post rush hour).

I think its good, but you have to be careful. London pay for this via Londons taxes. If whatever government you have isn't prepared to make up the lost revenue (and to do so indefinitely, under all economic/political conditions) you're dooming your transport system.
Hi!

Thanks for taking interest in the paper. First of all I'm sorry the setting doesn't meet with your expectations. It's always the problem with benchmarking why one measure one thing and not the other. In my case I was interested in uniformy random distribution since the whole work has been motivated by a task of putting key-value storage backend to NVMe. Hot data is already present in main memory and NVMe is used for a long tail of infrequently-accessed but large amount of data. Alas said maybe some other distribution could match the real workload more closely, I just don't know any better estimation.

It's pretty interesting that you question the working set size. Given the complexity of FTL it won't be surprising if the latency depend on working set size. I dind't do such kind of experiments but I hope this discussion could motivate somebody to take such measurements. Anyway thanks for the provided timings, I should remember them and keep that in mind.

As for section 7.1 QD was something from 16 to 64 but I don't remember exactly. In section 8 more attention is given to to QD and I try to pick the best one.

Section 7.2 could be probably the most confusing due to the read pattern complexity. I mention there that I'm interested in requests where several disjoint blocks are asked at once. Obviously that is transformed into several AIO requests. You have every right to complain about asynchronousity here because the reader waits for all of them to complete before issuing the next request. It's just the AIO interface which makes such kind of compound requests more efficient than issuing them via pread which the section demonstrated.

> I'm curious now when it comes to STDs is there any way to quantify just how much concentration/load shows up in body fluids and how potent the infectiousness would be for those fluids given that concentration.

Yes, this data exists and can be measured. Viral Load, detectable load, etc are common terms when discussing HIV.

Not a doctor, but from what I've heard the colon is the mucus membrane that presents the greatest risk for STD transmission.

> Maybe that bacteria to bacteria mingling is where the risk comes in?

I think its "simpler" in that we've seen bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. So bacterial infections could become resistant. I'm not sure its a valid concern since most people will kill the infection before spreading it (which increases rate of mutation), which is easier to do for an STD than something airborne by a hospital patient who can't leave.
Jeep is another example that got plenty of use outside America, only really falling out of use in the last while as casual use of that type of vehicle got replaced by SUVs.
Sure, but since the EU nor the companies within is trying to emulate the Great Land of Freedom, companies won't fly there if most of the EU leaders just agreed that they shouldn't. The risk of going against recommended action and getting penalties themselves is much higher than any potential benefits of continue doing it.

yes, version control is baked in so once you save a version of an article or notebook the blocks are immediately reference-able, so if you use that table in your paper, its still linked to the same block/cell in the notebook and has a unique hash allowing referencing / lookup via our API and its easy to save new versions.

These types of comments are so overdone. Free just means free of charge. It means you, the customer or user do not have to pay for the service. It never meant that nobody pays for it, that's an internet boogeyman/meme that is circulating. Yes, taxed citizens are paying for it, but they are not paying for the service.

Everything that is free still has to be provided by someone, it has always been that way since the existence of the universe.

Dirt is free and you can turn it into bricks to build a house but you are relying on the existence of the earth and therefore the existence of the universe.

If these comments were followed to their logical conclusion the word free shouldn't exist because nothing can be free. Thanks, now we have to come up with another word for "user doesn't get charged".

These observations speaks volumes as to how testing is often done badly. It's a bit of a generalisation, but if you move your reads/writes to the periphery, the core tends to be pure functions that are easy to unit test without side-effects. If you don't move your reads/writes to the periphery, everything becomes an integration test, with the accompanying brittleness, lack of performance, and resistance to change. TL; DR: Stop designing/implementing things such that you have to mock everything; DI is just a tool, and as such it is used for both good and evil.

I picked up this book yesterday, and I'm now about 2/3 the way through (I skipped or skimmed about 1/4 of what I've got through - I'm reading for fun, and the returns seem to be diminishing).

I appreciate the author's frankness about the limitations he's working under: if there's no data available about some topic, he doesn't discuss that topic. In fact he's pretty rigourous about 'following the data'.

I think I would like just a little bit more speculation about e.g. developer motivations. And it's a shame there's not enough data to support an analysis of modern development paradigms such as TDD, pair-programming and so on. Of course that's not the author's fault; anyway, in a sense, the absence of data is itself interesting.

I've found the book interesting. I think there are too many 'data dumps', i.e. descriptions of datasets that don't cast much light on anything.

I think I'd find a review or abstract that distils the book useful and engaging.
I'd love for this to have rooms. Your answers could still count toward the global stats, but you would compare only with the group where it was shared.

You should read up on the opposition movement in Belarus before making such insensitive suggestions. Dissidents are regularly arrested, beaten and even raped, yet many turn out week after week to protest. Consider if you'd be brave enough to do what they already do first.
A lot of people spoke authoritatively without authoritative knowledge.

That's certainly a type of lying, but perhaps not an extremely willful kind. Making false statements because you wholeheartedly believe them to be true is still lying, perhaps wholly unbeknownst to the speaker.

It would seem that we're collectively dialing back to "origin still inconclusive" instead of kneejerk "definitely NOT criminal negligence by $COUNTRY".

That appears reasonable, and probably would have been the original take if not for all of the extreme anti-China agitprop that is the norm seemingly everywhere in the USA's mass media these days.

TBH the source does not matter one bit, any more than the identity of Satoshi. Covid is here and must be addressed as it exists; the origin story is just narrative fuel. People eat that irrelevant shit up, because we're still basically "They did WHAT? to WHOM?!" narrative-obsessed little monkeys.
