The chinese vaccines are mostly inactivated coronavirus vaccines and are only 50-60% effective. We are seeing countries which relied heavily on them such as Chile and the Seychelles having large and sustained outbreaks because they aren't effective enough to stop the spread. They probably do fairly well against mortality though.

I'd say we would be in an incredibly worse position if we only had J&J and Astrazeneca in the west. In the US the pandemic is over now and we have only vaccinated about half of people with the mRNA shots. I strongly doubt we would be normal again now if we had not had those.

I understand that the parent's point is "people who are into fishing and baby wipes" is not a coherent or meaningful group (in the sense of 'stratum' or 'cohort') of the population. Neither fishing nor baby wipe marketeers would typically care about this so-called group.

If you are really applying attribute tags to individuals, you are not "grouping" them in the usually-understood meaning of stratifying.

In truth, you are still building an individual profile for each person, but describing it in a disingenuous way.
Going back further, I'd love to know the source of the claim that the Mayflower was diverted from the mouth of the Hudson to Plymouth Rock because the ship was running low on beer. It seems like the sort of thing that would be more widely known.
> Move to a new state without having to change jobs.

I see this point but it's often not a guarantee, particularly if you work at a small company. In the US if your employer is in State A and you want to move to State B, then your employer must become registered as a business in that state and abide by that state's labor laws. Many small businesses aren't capable of (or interested in) maintaining compliance with every state's laws.

I believe this will change in the future, but right now I wouldn't bet on it.

Boehm, Atkinson and Plass (1995) proposed ropes as an alternative to strings for use in text editors.

hx uses the Ropey crate (Rust library) to implement ropes:

The Linux Scheduler – A Decade of Wasted Cores (2016) [pdf]
The data industry continues to hype this idea of “multi-cloud,” but then the “modern data stack” is centralized around a single warehouse and nobody sees any irony in that.

The big bet we’re making at Splitgraph [0] is that the next wave of data engineering will take a more decentralized, “data mesh” type approach to enterprise architecture. “Data gravity” really does exist - it’s expensive to move, in terms of both cost and operational complexity. And with increasing specialization of analytical databases, a single source of truth will become unrealistic. So instead of bringing the data to the query, why not bring the query to the data? All we need for that is a set of read only credentials. And yes, it should also be easy to warehouse your data, but it doesn’t need to be the default.

Cloudera mentions they bought DataCoral to help with data integration and connectors. They’ve correctly identified the problem - data sprawl and fragmentation will inevitably grow - but I’m not sure they have the right solution.

Data integration is important, but it’s a moving target, which is why it calls for a collaborative open source solution. This is why so many new startups, like AirByte most recently, are coalescing around the Singer taps that Stitch left behind after its acquisition by Talend.

We also support using Singer taps to ingest data into versioned Splitgraph images [1], so we’re excited to see more collaboration on maintenance of taps. For us it’s a useful feature, but it should be just that — a feature. Is there really a need to replicate all of your data before you can even query it? Or would you rather experiment by directly querying its source?

I used to like the office. It was fun. My friends were there. I got help when I needed it. We talked about things informally. My desktop PC and Internet was top-notch, and I didn’t have a laptop or mobile. They had a great gym. I worked at work, and did other things at home.

Now I haul my laptop from home to my cubicle to fight over the phone booths for endless remote meetings. I don’t work with and have never spoken to my neighbors. My work goes home with me.

Working from home isn’t better, but the office is worse.
It's great to see more projects in the space, but for me it's not really about the editor itself any more, it's about the ecosystem and the extensibility. The act of selecting and changing text is just a small part of the problem space.

I use emacs not because I'm a neckbeard, but because I can script it to do whatever the hell I like. I switch to vscode when I want to do something my emacs setup isn't yet good for (like, working with Typescript).

On the flip side, I use sublime text as a notepad replacement because it's that fast. I still use nano as my default editor for commit messages. Sometimes I use vim because that's what I happened to type to open a file.

This isn't a comment on helix editor itself...just that, it's a pretty saturated space and I'm keen to see something as novel as light table play out again, but only more successfully.
Me as well. I smoked a bit for a decade and change, but I very rarely even finished a pack of cigarettes. There were circumstances during which I smoked, but I never enjoyed smoking much, and certainly never for its own sake.

Which is a shame, because this means I probably shaved years off my life span without the pleasure that drives many to do so.

What happened in 1971 is more than just that single year but 1971 was the start of a major shift in world economics that included the formation of OPEC

I would also be surprised if many people even know what OPEC is beyond the simplistic narration seen on the news when OPEC raises or lowers production

As to your final point about reduced investment in oil, this is really a shock? The US and US Allies are all demonizing Oil as the greatest threat to world, as the source of all the worlds problems, so much so that many top financial firms have pledged to reduce or eliminate all loans that go to oil production or refinement, in addition to scaring the population into making them to be Public Enemy number 1 more so than evil Tobacco or even Terrorist.

And you are shocked that investors want dont want to dump money into a market that every government is trying to kill? Really?
What if my cat says it's a dog?

This makes no more sense than that. A dictator is closing borders as part of a program of suppression of dissent. This is materially different to health-related travel restrictions.
It's also quite obvious that the net result of this will be companies preferring employees who live closer to work and bear a higher cost of housing.
The article's quat_pow is implemented using 'quat_exp(quat_scale(quat_log(q), n));' where the code example I posted computes the half-angle of the rotation. If you stand back, I'd agree with you that there's an equivalence here, and it could be argued that Euclideanspace's code example is a kind of simplification and flattening of using an exponentiation function. Still, there are real differences between these two implementations, and the article's here looks conceptually simple, while the one people use in practice looks more complicated, and requires knowing how quaternions works. It's natural if you're fluent in quats, but not necessarily intuitive otherwise.
Nice title but the article is a bit boring. I am an old programmer by now.. and i agree that objects are inevitable as are other paradigms too. Each tool has good and bad cases...
Anyway, beside ADTs and other perspectives, objects are a nice way for compressing (give identity and establishing a set of good enoug number of proprieties) for complex (messy) relations and interactions. Functions are another way as also rules, constaints, etc. There is a concept called "swarm communication" that propose a deeper concept in the same direction as objects. It is possible to give identities to swarms of objects interacting in complex distributed systems. This concept is somehow also inevitable but I found it difficult to explain with words but much easier to explain to programmers showing a bit of code ;)
I do wonder, and apologies if this is naive, but with Russian being the de facto official language in Belarus, is it clear that the siloviki are even Belarusian, not Russian? Would you know if the row of riot police were Russian?

I heard this narrative before, and it strikes me as odd that you would find enough people to bully its own nation into submission - physically in the streets.

But of course that happened in Poland too, where Russian was never a widely spoken language, so clearly it’s possible.

9 Gallon is 34 Liters, 11 drinks per Liter of Vokda/Liquor

9*11 = 374 drinks per year or 1 drink a day

Its probably that Average/mean drinking amount isn't a good statistical representation when almost all the consumption is done by the top 10% of drinkers.

Historical comparisons also are tricky because sizes and %'s aren't consistent to today. Beer/Cider weren't as strong and bottle's of wine were smaller than 750ml etc etc.
A number of my whitewater paddling friends really like minivans. They can carry a lot of gear and you can squeeze people in for a car shuttle. It does seem in many cases, that people have traded a minivan for a 3-row SUV which aren't as good for carrying a bunch of people--or, in many cases, a lot of gear.
good god, $10 per bar of chocolate, and basically no discount for how long you'll commit to their club? yikes.

I'd still maybe be tempted, but living in a hot climate, I have zero confidence I wouldn't just receive a messy box full of chocolate soup during the summer months.

Indeed, if one moves into maker community there have been Basic, Pascal, Oberon, Java compilers for ages.

Those companies manage to stay in business selling such compilers for at least three decades now, which kind of proves there is a market of people willing to pay for them, instead of going with C like everyone else.
At your place of employment, talk to the business side and learn what they are doing and why. Copy/paste front end javascript workers are a dime a dozen compared to someone with competence and knowledge surrounding the industry. Simplest way is to talk to the product side. People like talking about themselves, particularly when the other person takes an active interest
Silicon is pretty unique. Take crops, for example. There is no basis on which we could have a Moore's Law-like increase in soil productivity. We had the Green Revolution, but it was a one-off. There may be a second one waiting in the wings in the form of GMOs, but it's 50 years after the first one.

Why are crops so different from silicon? Because silicon was just a matter of doing the same thing at smaller and smaller scales. You can't improve plant yields by that kind of process.
Hah. Well, humans have easily predictable movement patterns right? Home, work, grocery store.

Imagine wanting to move data from city A to city B, so they'd decide to do a Tinder match of a girl from City B to this guy from City A, so he'd visit her a lot and be the data conduit...
That would be Github's fault; if they specifed boxes in percentages they would have different problems...

Although not a cyberattack it reminds me of the massive supply disruption and culling that occurred in the UK because of the mad cow disease.

There is still no clue as to why these disruptions happened but the educated guess mentioned in the article is ransomware. The one that is almost always forgotten is how they they escalated privileges through compromised passwords because most of these organizations don’t use multi factor authentication everywhere.

Netflix Unlimited PTO Experiment
v3 prevented people from using patent agreements and hardware restrictions as additional restrictions on top of copyright law. They did drove away people who consider such additional restrictions to be beyond the scope of what a copyright license should be able to address. Linus for example have explained in depth how he consider the restrictions of patents and DRM to be bad and counterproductive to the community, but that he doesn't think a copyright license is the right place to address them.

If a copyright license is the right or wrong place to address restrictions outside copyright law is an interesting discussion to have, but "similar in spirit" seems to match pretty well. I for one do not care if the legal restrictions sit under regular copyright law, software patent law, or Digital Millennium Copyright Act subsection DRM. They are pretty much similar in spirit.

> I don't think you can make that call what someone should and shouldn't do to satisfy their social needs because everyone has very widely ranging needs in the first place.

That is why I said satisfice.

Good on you that you know exactly what you need. I thought I did too, and it took a burnout and extended time off work to realize how I was mostly deceiving myself. Most people are not that transparent to themselves, that is why they have to be careful with the stimuli that seem to fulfill a need in the short term but create serious deficiencies in the long run.

A bag of potato chips will curb your hunger but you'd be severely malnourished if it was the only thing you ate for a year. Cocaine, amphetamines even caffeine will give you an elevated sense of agency but you'll quickly spiral down to addiction with little corresponding real-world, long-term gains. A workplace, a coffee shop or even binging netflix alone might create a sense of a peopled life, but none will be real allies that can have your back in a time of need.

"Reading comprehension" my friend. I said "continually moaning" as in repeatedly doing that. I have empathy, I don't have unlimited empathy. At some point when a friend or loved one just wants to post on FB about how shitty their depression is, they're not really interested in getting better but just in the attention. If you can't understand that, be thankful you don't have someone like that in your life.
