The article that I pointed to predated the vaccines by a number of months. So it is not analysis after the fact. The Reason article that I pointed to is at the same time as the CDC policy, and pointed out that other countries were adopting a different policy at the same time. Again not analysis after the fact.

The grandparent comment is more strongly stated than I would agree with. But not wrong.
Or maybe you start to question why you are being fed agitprop about X while your government is doing Y?
Seems to be the case. There are laptops manufactured 2-3 years ago using 7th gen Intel, which isn't making the cut. Maybe MS will back off after all the corporate IT people start bitching about their laptops.
Shameless plug, I also wrote a simple lib that makes onion services easy: https://github.com/cretz/bine (OP's project uses a fork of it and I plan on putting more time into it soon)
>Dynamic dispatch is not terribly overloaded. It's dispatching based on run-time information instead of just compile-time information.

According to the above definition C++ does not have dynamic dispatch!

The vtable in C++ is generated at compile time and used at runtime. It's immutable at runtime. That means it is NOT dynamic!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table#Compariso...

"Virtual method tables also only work if dispatching is constrained to a known set of methods, so they can be placed in a simple array built at compile time."

Like, I don't care how you use words, but you (and everyone) are using "dynamic" to speak about a statically-behaving system!
So far the only one I can't figure out is Space. Also, puzzle games that have puzzles like Fish are the best kind of puzzle games.
"Atlanta has seen 77 tornadoes in the four counties of Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb and Fulton from 1950-2013. This is a density of 0.94 tornadoes per year per 1,000 square miles."

1,000 sq mi is about 640,000 acres, so that's .0000015 tornadoes per year per acre. If I've got my math right, that's about a 99.9% chance that your 1 acre plot will not be hit by a tornado in 1000 years, if you live in the Atlanta area, which is only a middling high-probability area. (https://weather.com/storms/tornado/news/tornado-odds-of-bein...)

Hurricanes are generally only a coastal problem, although flooding is a fairly large issue everywhere. (Don't get a house in a low lying area. Please.)

Earthquakes are mostly a West Coast thing, modulo New Madrid (pronounced "mad-rid") and various oil drilling operations. But then there's fires and termites and everything else.

There are plenty of hundred-year-old houses all over the US, as well as plenty of newer ones that could last more than a century with proper maintenance.

Few houses today are built to last that long, though, because it's more expensive but doesn't add anything to the purchase price like granite countertops. Stick frame on slab construction is pretty close to mini-maxing housing construction as the article describes (even in areas where slab foundations are geologically idiotic).

Anyway, when you get down to the second-to-last section of the article, remember that, past a certain point, efficiency is the enemy of resiliency.
Also a robot is going to be far more expensive than something like a VR classroom. VR classrooms solves the socializing aspect. Also another benefit to a VR classroom would be potentially less bullying based on gender/race/weight if you can select whatever avatar you want
Apple subjects its users to entirely different type of abuse: purposeful incompatibility and vendor lock-in on every imaginable level from cable connectors to keyboard layouts. You always have to go all in to their ecosystem and pay a 50% premium on everything just for the Apple logo.

I guess it's a choice of if you want to bend over at the checkout or at home when you have started using the product.
I sometimes wonder if one of the issues is all the testing being done on very powerful machines. "It's plenty fast on my machine!" is the new "It works on my machine!"
There have been attempts over the centuries. Rammed earth walls attempt to do away with the "dealing with lots of relative small pieces" problem (adobe bricks). But they require form building, which adds a significant labor component that isn't there for the "lots of small pieces" approach.
About 15 years ago, when ssh-ing into servers was quite normal.

In eterm on my gentoo linux laptop with enlightenment desktop I typed:
su -
shutdown -h now

Because I was tired and I wanted to go to bed. Came back after brushing my teeth. F### laptops and linux! Screen still on. The thing didn’t shutdown!

Strange thing was: in the terminal something said it got a shutdown signal.

Then I realized I shutdown a remote server for a forum with 200k members.

It was on the server of an isp employee, which happened to be member of that site. All for free, so no remote support and no kvm switches. Went to bed and took a train next day early morning to fix it.

Insulation does matter, but American insulation is also pretty strange- it is all rated by R value, which is only meaningful if you have a really good airtight seal. Any drafting ruins the insulative value very quickly.

Aerated concrete doesn't have that issue, because the concrete cells are closed and don't draft. If you end up with a poorly fitted window or 50+ mph winds, it doesn't let air through.

OTOH, totally agree about wood. Cheap(er), plentiful, and most importantly, everyone already knows how to work it and has the tools to do so.

Masonry work is physically harder, requires a sounder foundation that won't settle at all due to the increased weight, and there are fewer people willing to do the work. Getting anyone to do foam or aircrete is impossible- you have to watch a bunch of YouTube videos and DIY it yourself.
Note that the Israeli right-wing's biggest supporters in the US are Christian Evangelicals, not Jews. Most Jewish Americans vote Democrat and are liberal.

Killing off humans is the only concern I was talking about. Obviously other things are predicted to happen, and may be worth preventing, depending on the cost.

> the total cost of global warming will be as high as 3.6 percent of gross domestic product

This is what I mean by tame. That cost is equivalent to just a couple of years of paused economic growth. It means living in the year 2100 will feel like 2095 or so in terms of GDP. That's not a very serious problem.
Megakernels Considered Harmful: Wavefront Path Tracing on GPUs (2013)
Swift itself has almost no market share in the web space, just like Scala, F#, Clojure, OCaml have almost no market share in the Apple ecosystem. Scala also wasn't used in the android ecosystem, which is I think still the major user of Kotlin. On the other hand, Kotlin is also on the server now, but I don't know if it's replacing Java or Scala (maybe both?). Another thing is that Java itself is adopting lots of functional programming features (records, pattern matching recently).

I don't think I've seen any mention of migration from F#, Clojure, OCaml, Haskell, Scala, ... to Rust, but maybe it's easier to pick up than C++ when high performance is needed by teams already used to a ML-like?
It's amazing how no amount of altering the deal to be worse for consumers seems to get people to mass-exodus from these proprietary platforms, despite the existence of numerous alternatives
LTSC versions are officially supported for 10 years, so some version of Windows 10 will be supported for at least a decade. Windows Server 2019/client v1809 LTSC is supported until 2029, for example.
I'd look to make a lateral move. Not sure where you are, but in the USA, 85k is right in the ballpark for a developer with 1-3 years of experience (at least in the Denver metro area).

So I'd do some self study and then look for positions where you are using some of the same skills or domain experience. It could be in manufacturing, it could be in netsuite, it could be implementation/operations of data pipelines (which surely shares some attributes in common with the netsuite integrations, if nothing else dealing with data, documentation and teams across a company). Try some interviews while you have a job because that'll tell you what you need to know.

I'd also start going to some python/data science meetups and ask people you meet there if you can take them to coffee to learn what the job is really like. This will help you learn if "the grass is greener". If not, hey, you might like being a netsuite admin/dev.
It's a word from another language, what purpose would a 1 second judgment like that serve when the post you're replying to already explains that it's Welsh?
Big Sur is when they went from "everything is 10" to 11. The accusation is that moving off of TenVer is following them, as was getting onto TenVer in the first place. And Microsoft was definitely on TenVer. If they were merely incrementing from 7 they wouldn't have skipped 9 and they wouldn't have stuck on 10 nearly as long.
No. Like "kill off humans", as the OP said.
If there was a way to never have electric cables or plumbing in walls, that would speed up construction and reduce the cost.

The savings for this don't just show up in the plumbing and electrical categories, but also in framing and finishing, as well as hidden inefficiencies - you have to pre-wire and plumb, and then late come back to finish wiring and plumbing.

Also, this article is about how to construct a house in an efficient manner, not how to construct a house that is efficient throughout it's life.

Windows 10 does have mbr2gpt.exe now, so migrating from Legacy to UEFI isn't a terrible experience, provided you do it from the recovery/boot/troubleshoot Windows screen.
You don't feel bad for him because you have misunderstood what actually happened? Wikileaks had an encrypted file but it was a Guardian journalist that published the key to decrypt it. What you are suggesting is that Wikileaks should censor the source files before journalists got them. That is not how proof works. Redacted files isn't proof but tampered evidence. The fault is 100% on the person that leaked the decryption key. Blaming Julian Assange for this leak is jumping to conclusions.

> The main cause of all problems for North Koreans is this totalitarian regime and those who support it. They suffer from that! Not from your actions. So destabilising the country is attacking the core of their problem and thus helping North Korea people.

Please! No more of this line of reasoning, it has caused suffering and damage time and time again.

Don't recommend that others endure that which you and your loved ones are not willing to endure. Before claiming a country must be blockaded, starved and bombed into submission "for its own good", consider whether you would welcome that blockade, destabilization and bombs if they were falling on your roof and possibly killing your loved ones.
Without doom trolling nobody will vote for the people who want to implement the costly solutions.

It doesn't economic make sense to build homes to last 100+ years. Equity markets have historically returned 8% per year. You're much better off cutting corners, investing the money, then fixing the problems in the future with your compounded wealth.

Pretend you have two options, you can build a home that lasts forever or a house that will fall apart in a half century but is 10% cheaper. By year 40, you'll have enough wealth accumulated to buy two new replacement homes.
> In comparison, if you have an existing, known solution to a problem it usually makes sense to just use that.

Depends on the problem. If the problem is complex enough, say nutrition, then you see constantly changing narratives and theories and even competing ones in the present. There's no Best Solution™ way to nourish ourselves yet so people experiment and the top competing theories are being actively discussed and debated. Sure there are keto / vegan / paleo nuts out there but they're just test subjects really. Same argument can be said about software dev, there's no best language or best framework; or about ways to earn money, employment vs entrepreneurship is not a settled debate.

Can you name some problem that you feel has stagnated in the modern world?
You do realize that the US has a functioning justice system, and there is a difference between security and suppression?
The interesting question to ask is to whom are they accountable.
After the 2011 tornadoes in the Southeast US, many communities built above-ground shelters (think "bunker"), with the downside being going any distance to a shelter is likely to be more dangerous than staying where you are. Also, many homeowners bought smaller above-ground shelters (think "steel pill-box").
Then you don't appreciate the forces at play. An EF4 will rip deep rooted trees right out of the ground.

Drilling through a wall, routing a new network line; hit the power line to the server rack. There was a UPS, but it didn't like that kind of short apparently, and folded up into a sulk immediately.

Best part is that I did the wiring in that building when it was built 5 years before that; I really should have realized it was there.
> allow all Palestinians to become citizens, with full rights, stop being an ethnostate for Jews

If that happened, then Palestinians would outnumber Jews and could dominate the country democratically. I can understand the potential for discrimination.

That's why the two state solution is often considered the only just solution: Both groups each have a country in which they are the majority.

The Israeli right rejects the two state solution, and clearly they reject being a minority, so that only leaves oppression of Palestinians (which is awful and unjust, to avoid any doubt).

> the progressive country they pretend to be

Israel hasn't pretended to be progressive in awhile. Netanyahu and some of his predecessors made no pretenses about it.
Everyone will move to Canada and similar places. Only the poor will be left behind to die in the heat and most of the world won't care and will feel like "good riddance."

Edit:

In case anyone thinks this is just snark, no. I'm in the PNW and I grew up in Georgia and lived in California for a lot of years, including the High Desert where I was south of Death Valley and 115 in July was not unusual. I'm dirt poor and have been for years. I spent years homeless.

The heat wave per se is not a big deal to me. But it's late in the month and I'm nearly broke.

If the heat kills me, it will be because I'm out of funds, not because 107 is a big damn deal per se. The world has spent a lot of years making it clear to me that it doesn't care about my welfare at all and no amount of virtue, hard work, yadda is ever enough to adequately remedy my problems.
RC airplanes have insane thrust to weight ratios, with enough thrust a brick can fly.

Some of your points are a possibility that cannot be discounted.

From the reliable data in the story there
are some other data points:

1) It seems he really had no sense of his legs since once dropped a hot tea in his legs but did not notice at the time
and after noticed his skin burned.

2) Was on a wheelchair for 8 years. Longer deceptions
have been seen before but this one looks unlikely

3) If he was faking he also fooled his daughter for 8 years
possible but unlikely.

4) Was in a coma for 3 weeks. Maybe this is also related
to the change in health status as much as Covid.
You just lost the discussion.
It also doesn't help that that definition removes pretty much every aspect of what makes a monad a monad. It also deviates quite a bit from the mathematical definition.

A definition like:

bind f (x:xs) = f(x)

would fit this type signature, but would very much not be a monad.

What makes a monad a monad is that it is a functor (so a special parametrized type of sorts) with

- a function to wrap a single value (wrap :: a -> M a)

- a function that can flatten nested versions (flatten :: M M a -> M a)

- such that wrapping twice and flattening is the same as wrapping once

- such that when flattening a triply nested structure it doesn't matter which level you flatten first.

And of course it also needs to satisfy the functor axioms, which are also frequently overlooked, though they're not too difficult they just mean that 'fmap' needs to play nice with identity functions and function composition.

And Haskell in particular suffers quite a bit from the fact that currying is a first class concept, while in category theory this is reserved for a rather special class of categories. This means that using functors in combination with functions of multiple arguments suddenly requires you to think about how to evaluate a tree of functions on a tree of values, where in most other languages you'd end up with a tree of tuples at worst. Granted you can do more if you solve those problems, but it requires you to think about concepts that even category theorists consider pretty 'out there'.
...So my session cookie gets tied to a crypto key that (for all intents and purposes of what I've gleamed from the marketing speak, is burned into the TPM at the factory) is unique?

I thought we were trying to get away from identifiable fingerprints? This seems like the most unique one you could get.

I'm trying to learn about it, but all google wants to throw up these days is news articles on win11's requirement if it, marketing none-speak about "securing the platform" (which does to a layman, read similar to the other comments cry of lock-in), or dense whitepapers on threat models and cryptographic math.
Well, the FBI has been revealed to be thoroughly corrupt.

You can also take it for granted that all the so-called conspiracy theories that are tagged as "misinformation" and "propaganda" by the US media "fact-checkers" will be revealed to be true within a few years. Of-course by then everyone will just shrug and move on since the public has the memory of a goldfish.
On the other hand, 4 more years is a lot, and they'll probably continue to release security updates for a year or two past 10's EOL (like they have with Windows 7).
It's like how no matter when you're born, the best music was always the ones from your teenage years (when your taste in music was being formed).

Same thing with UI I guess.

i think balloon framing fell out of favor because

1. the length of timber required for two story structures is not efficient; old growth stuff has been felled and straight, seasoned, 24 and 36 foot lengths of wood are tough to find

2. and fire; platform framing has far better fire control

That's an idea with a very bad history and no political legitimacy: What grounds does a general have to tell their neighbors what to do? Nobody voted for them. What stops the general from arbitrarily wielding that power?

Why vest that power in the military? A civilian institution could make the decision, such as a court interpreting a constitution.

See Queen Street West (amongst many others) in Toronto for an example of having street-level retail and an apartment above:

All the major thoroughfares in Toronto (Queen, King, Dundas, College, Bloor, St. Clair, Yonge) were built like this. The residential, single-family unit side streets then have convenient, walking-distance retail.

Most of these were built pre-WW2, so they're only 2-3 stories, but recent condo redevelopments of lots have generally followed the template of street-retail:

Here is a list of books for those wishing to dig deeper:

1) The Information by Gleick is a book covering everything from biographies of the key historical figures and contributors to contemporary applications of information theory in quantum mechanics.

2) Elements of Information Theory by Joy Thomas and Thomas Cover is a thorough and engaging textbook.

3) Quantum information and quantum computation by Nielsen and Chuang explaining both classical and quantum information with some practical examples.

4) Entropy and Information by Volkenstein a Soviet popular science book with math-heavy examples from biology, chemistry and physics

and as an aside I can also recommend "Willful Ignorance: The Mismeasure of Uncertainty" by Weisberg, which is an engaging history review of probability theory and its key inventors
