I never liked Windows NT aesthetics-wise. Personally I find the Windows Explorer ugly and I don't like the Start menu either.

I was hoping Serenity looked a bit more like Macintosh System 7 [0], NeXTStep [1] or BeOS [2]. So I was kinda disappointed when I visited the site.

> You may have heard about monoclonal antibody therapies to covid ... those, unfortunately, are very susceptible to mutation because if a critical targeted residue mutates, you could lose all efficacy of the drug.

Depends if the therapy works on the virus itself, or your body's response to the infection.

I think most of the monoclonal antibodies are working on your body's (over)response, so mutations shouldn't change much. Same with corticosteroids.

But Nucloside/tide analogues on the other hand or anything else working against viral processes/replication, oh yeah.

I think the doctor was asking, relative to the situation that you're in, how are you? In other words, given that you're in this shitty situation, do you feel worse or better than you expect?

If he's still in a lot of pain then the doctor would expect the patient to say that. "The nurses are treating me well, the food is fine, but I'm still in a lot of pain. Is there anything you can do about that?"

The doctor was asking a question relative to the situation and the Russian interpreted as an absolute question.

It did recently occur to me that it's not a hard requirement that FTL be impossible, just that causality not be violated. There may be solutions to FTL where naively they could violate causality, but in practice other effects ensure that no usage of them ever will.

If they get the vaccine they can still be infected with covid and transmit to others. Yes they will be less severe and probably less transmissive but it's a bit dangerous to think a vaccinated person is that much better than an unvaccinated person.

Seems like a deeply tedious topic, but it sounds like the argument is that the small number of (claimed) profitable companies have basically ignored whatever it is you tell them to do. That's a great pitch.
This is a self-fulfilling issue; since Intel does not support ECC, ECC is not mainstream, so mainstream platforms don't care about ECC. It would cost motherboard manufacturers ~nothing to support this properly, so if it were accepted as a thing they would, and it would eventually be a requirement for newer RAM technologies. ECC should've been mandatory since about the DDR2 era, practically speaking. That it isn't is a collective failure of the computer industry, and Intel takes a big part of the blame.

At least I had no issues getting ECC to work on my Threadripper box, but sure, that's HEDT.
To the people downvoting me, I only said that because his response was directly about somebody mentioning World of Warcraft. In WoW, if they only limited you to seeing 50 people the game would feel completely different when you go into cities and do open world PVP and such. It would literally break the game.

In fact when they released WoW Classic they had a new technology they called layering where even if you were in the same realm as somebody you could be on a different layer and therefore not see them. People absolutely hated it and went crazy.

So that is why I asked him if he had played it since he said "at a certain point there isn't much difference to players between 50 people and 200 people within visible distance" which is just wrong.
Is this written up anywhere public, preprint, VAERS, etc?
I had a similar reaction to this after looking at their website and documentation: there is no way that this will be broadly usable by their target audience. I volunteered regularly at a soup kitchen for a few years, and do you know who the core staff were? Women in their 60s and 70s. Inventory and ordering were tracked with hand-written notes in a binder that the staff leader kept in her car. Are those people going to install and set up open-source software on GitHub to make their inventory management easier? sound of hysterical laughing

Even the mostly-free solution using GSuite or whatever is past the technical interest and abilities of most of the staff. And honestly the low-tech solutions they already used worked just fine for them.

I will credit the commenter downstream who said that the project seems to have close relationships with a few large food pantries, that might have the necessary staff and volume to make such a system worthwhile. But I still can't shake the feeling that this is the product of a programmer who wants to do good, but has created a technical system that doesn't actually meet the needs of the people he's trying to help.

Not only can you redefine classes, you can change the class an object belongs to. Just point `obj.__class__` at something else, or change `cls.__bases__` to reorganize the class's inheritance hierarchy.

Wow, what an interesting and insightful article! I've worked with many Russians and enjoyed working with them immensely, but I did notice they seemed very stern or serious as well.

As a young Hungarian, I used to confuse the hell out of my American colleagues when I went to a "lengthy" (more than 10sec) explanation answering to "how are you?"s. It took my a while to realize why that was. Now it just entertains me how oblivious I was.

OTOH I wouldn't call these "fake"; It's common, it's certainly different than how I socialized, possibly it's greatly misunderstood by many. Along the same train of thought, other languages' greetings would also be fake... After all, how could I genuinely wish a random German stranger a "Guten Morgen" or what do I care if "你吃了吗?" (lit. "have you already eaten?")

Let's rather be grateful for these questions not having to be genuine. Chances are high that when you ask someone today how they are (in their health) or if they ate (because there's no food shortage), then they can simply reply with a positive answer.

We should be using memory encryption with random per-boot keys to prevent cold boot attacks, which would also solve the issue. Then the software doesn't know how its data maps to the encrypted data at the RAM. Rows may map 1:1, but you wouldn't know which bits you're targeting.

The numbers can be useful, but I mainly pay attention to the steps the query planner takes. Is it doing an expensive loop over data? Is it using an index? Those can often be more illuminating than the numbers – you get a feel over time for what operations are actually expensive.

> The "when it's 6:00 on the spaceship, it's 3:36 on Earth" doesn't mean "From the ship's reference frame, Earth is in the past". It is just different speed of time.

It amounts to the same thing. From the perspective of Earth, time travels slower on the ship than on Earth. From the perspective of the ship, time travels faster on the ship than on Earth. Superluminal communication allows you to abuse the difference in reference frames to break causality.

Put it another way: when it's 6 on the ship, what time is it on Earth? It depends who you ask. Mission control would say it's 10. The people on the ship would say 3:36. Both are correct.

> Say you have 2 clocks, and took one on a spaceship ride. When brought back it will be showing say 6 why the twin clock which didn't left the Earth would be showing 10 - the ship clock wouldn't be in the "past" as both clocks are on the table in front of you in the "present".

In your example, the ship needs to change velocity in order to get back to Earth and compare the clocks. The ship is not always at rest in any reference frame; it either needs to stop and turn around, or accelerate to catch a retreating Earth.

It just so happens that in this scenario, whatever reference frame you choose, the ratio between the time on the ship and the time on Earth works out to be the same.

But this changes if the ship doesn't need to alter it's velocity. If the ship is travelling at 0.8c away from Earth, then it's equally valid to say that the Earth is travelling 0.8c away from the ship. It is therefore equally true to say:

* For every 10 hours on Earth, 6 hours pass on the ship

* For every 10 hours on the ship, 6 hours pass on Earth

In some reference frames Earth's time progresses faster than the ship; in other reference frames it progresses slower. If you're able to pass around information between reference frames instantaneously, then you can pass information backward through time.
Well.. that and your heater / ac state is binary. The heater is either on or off, and the ac is either on or off. PID loops require a continuous variable to set.

I remember on a player run server (Novus Opiate) we had a random battle one day of red vs blue and we had about 80-100 people in Britain run through a portal into Buccaneer's Den, slaughtering all the reds, and all the reds banded together to kill the blues. It was well over 100 people with minimal lag, with most people on 56k modems.

But Britain bank with lots of people was always laggy. Especially if there wasn’t a server reboot in over a week.

My impression, as a German still following US politics post-Trump more than I should, is that US governors, especially the GOP ones, never put real restrictions in place and were among the first to get rid of them. Examples include Texas and Florida.

In Germany everything Covid turned political last fall, with Laschet being anti-restrictions and Söder being pro-restrictions. In both cases to score political points for their campaigns to become the conservative's candidate for chancellor.

Everybody wants back a normal life, some people simply have trouble accepting that it will take a while still. And that doing it prematurely poses a significant risk.

Just to be clear my question was rhetorical. You have to do an autopsy to have a reasonable guess about the cause. A 90 year old has a 13% chance of dying for any reason within a year (in the US, see here: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html). If it's not the virus it may be their liver, or their heart, or, and this is interesting now, chronic respiratory diseases. This has been a leading cause of death for a long time (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm).

>are there any other significant factors contribute to those people's death in that period?

Multiple things can contribute. Our body is an extremely complex organism. Putting a death down to 100% this or that when in reality it's a lot more complicated isn't just imprecise, it's often flat out wrong.

And just because events coincide doesn't mean there's causality. If 1000 people died on a day with severe thunderstorms around the country that doesn't mean the thunderstorms killed them all. When old people with a virus infection die it's reasonable to assume there could be a connection, but you can't just say everyone who tested positive in a given time died of the virus.
I'm not the person you're arguing with originally, but you may want to do some research before being quite so pompous.
