That part really made me laugh. A few months ago, i developed a wrapper in swift for sqlite on a project. A coworker of mine had a bug on what sqlite returned, and i couldn't find anything wrong. He told me "it has to be a bug on sqlite", and i said "no, sqlite has no bugs… but i don't really understand what's going on". And so we posted a bug report on the sqlite forums. I told my friend "if you found a bug on sqlite, on your first try, i'll buy you a bottle of champaign".

Of course, it was a bug with my wrapper (included a \0 char at the end of strings).

I just forwarded him the link to your podcast, saying "we really had no chance"
Torrents are static and so are their hashes on the DHT. For blogs, recipe sites and say content creators putting a new video on their site every week, this is not very practical esp. when there are no peers to host their content if their computer is offline. IPFS has a similar problem.
Not a fair comparison: there are way more people that are going to be vaccinated than to be contaminated. Also, I assume those stats are for people with symptoms ?

how would you know since OSHA has stopped registering any side effects following the vaccinations?

> Are adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log?

> DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers' vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904's recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency's position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.
It's a much better strategy for sure, as for AMD it seems that hard times are ahead if they can not move to 3nm after 5nm.

It seems very likely that AMD has no other option than moving most of their products to Samsung 3nm.

I hope that works out as the competition is needed.

> but it would boost RSS adoption

Firefox and chrome had them for a decade, it did nothing.
Beating a dead horse will not magicaly revive it. RSS is not dying because people have forgotten about. It always was an obscure feature for a low number of special people, and this did not change. And today it's even worse, because world has moved on, yet the RSS-crowd has barely adapted to it.

I'm using Newsfeeds for 15+ years now, and with every year I'm moving ,pre and more away from them, because that's not were modern live is anymore. We should start adapting and raise a new school of tooling for the purpose that RSS feeds, instead of playing around with yet another bunch of low effort-solutions in hope to find the magic potion.

If you wanna bring in new blood, you should deliver them tools where they are, to raise them up in their own world. But today tooling in RSS-space is so aweful bad and outside of peoples daily live...

I'd like to read more about this.

My teeth have not fallen out yet and my dentist gives an OK after many years on a plant based diet.
It's not really a middle ground, in the sense that left-libertarianism see private property rights as inherently incompatible with liberty, and so the defence of property rights to a left-libertarian is a rejection of the most fundamental demand of libertarianism. While a rejection of intellectual property would be good, it's generally been less contested to start with.

The distinction basically boils down to whether or not you see freedom as being about the possibility of doing something vs. about legal right in principle to do something. To left-libertarians, legal rights are meaningless if you are deprived of the ability to exercise them, be it by other laws or by lack of resources.

And property rights flow right in the face of that, by denying access to scarce resources that enforce both the immediate lack of access, and economic inequality that prevents the exercise of other rights.

To property specifically, I grew up in Norway. In Norway the freedom to roam is considered so intrinsic that until about a century ago it was the only major legal principle regularly treated as "common law" in a system otherwise strictly codified. Today it is codified, and you can hike across all privately owned uncultivated rural land as long as you leave it as you found it, and you can forage, and camp, because allowing public access to the land is seen as an essential trade-off between public liberty and private property rights.

That would be closer to what a middle ground looks like - hollowing out private property rights to alter the balance of which protections a private owner has vs. the public. In Norway the balance seeks to recognise the distinction between a private dwelling, where allowing public access would be a massive intrusion vs. land holdings where public access has very limited direct effect on the owner, in e.g. setting limits on how close to private dwellings you can go or camp without asking permission.

The point being similar to the libertarian socialist distinction between private and personal property - that there are substantial differences in to what extent maximising liberty requires protecting different kinds of property. If I own a forest and someone walks through it, the impact on my liberty is next to nil. But if someone wanders into my house at night, the impact is substantial. As such, denying someone access to a forest is government overreach that diminished the freedom of the public to a left-libertarian, but denying access to my house is justified because it affects me much more to be made to feel unsafe where I live than it affects others by being denied access to a given house.
confirmed cases is already a filter of those who were tested in the first place. I case you dont know, in many places it is still very hard to get a test until you have severe symptoms.
Thanks for the info!

So much for "we're following the science."
I've worked for a lot of unsympathetic people who didn't put themselves in my shoes, or who had their own personal issues that caused them to tonelessly say degrading things to me as a young coder. But I was lucky enough - or sympathetic enough - to get through to them as their employee with questions that made them see me as someone they could help and improve. This wasn't even their choice; it was mine, to tease those explanations out of them. I sure wish most employers and corporate structures had this sort of kindness in mind, but on an individual level it really comes down to forming a co-sympathetic relationship (as an employee). Now as a boss, I find myself extremely sympathetic to anyone who asks intelligent questions, but very short on the fuse with people who don't take the time to look things up for themselves. Is that me becoming more of an asshole with age? Or is it that I put myself through the process and I expect others to as well?
> A $400m building burning down would have CEOs fired (see: Equifax CEO being fired after breach). I don't know what fantasy land you live in, but you're either delusional or lying.

In what world does getting 90m $ to leave the company constitute "getting fired"? That's early retirement.

> In a time period where every other company is seeing massively rising profits and stock prices, Equifax has been relatively stagnant.

So, it will take them 2 or 3 years longer to reach some arbitrary stock price. Certainly an earth shattering experience.

So I think for me things typically fall into two buckets. Almost all my one-to-one communication is with family members that will just call me if I miss a message they need an answer to.

The rest (and indeed the vast majority) of my communication is via group chats, which I personally find messaging apps to handle much better than email clients. It also doesn’t really matter if you miss something, as there’s generally enough messages going back and forth that you will see something else and then remember to go back and check the thing you missed (if you even need to).

I will concede though, finding a particular instant message is a damned nightmare compared to finding an email.

> he managed to segfault every single database engine he tried, including SQLite, except for Postgres. Postgres always ran and gave the correct answer. We were never able to find a fault in that. The Postgres people tell me that we just weren’t trying hard enough. It is possible to fault Postgres, but we were very impressed.

This is impressive for Postgres.

SQLite is incredible. I've used it over the years in a variety of important projects.

Myocarditis is usually transient particularly post infection. These figures are roughly accurate especially considering that the symptoms are quite often mild as they also were via vaccination.
There’s no real surprise here: aetiology of the myocarditis during covid is basically identical to that via vaccine, so the good news is that it’s at a lower rate, it just stands out more because the general symptoms of vaccination are so much lower
But what happens if we hit the final plateau, same processor speed (+ minor improvements) for the decades to come?

Among modern humans, brain size is correlated to body size, meaning that, on average, a taller being has a bigger brain, and vice versa.

Assuming that brain size is correlated to intelligence implies that, on average, taller people are more intelligent!
To;dr: traditional sRGB displays have a narrow color gamut, the new displays have a much better gamut, with brighter reds and greens. A new color API uses Lab and LCh color spaces, better suited to human vision, allow interesting ways to express and manipulate color, including the newly available. Chromium has some support, if you have the right screen (I don't). The API is backwards compatible to sRGB screens. Many small demos.

You draw the line the same way history draws it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_periods

We're in the contemporary era and things that happened in the Nazi time are still relevant. While things that happened in the ancient era are, by definition, ancient.

So if you want speak about history a good start is to try to study it first.

Otherwise next time we're discussing on how aggressive were people in the Neolithic and how stupid were the law in the Code of Hammurabi

That's exactly how the Japanese filesharing scene developed - there's 3 proprietary programs that do just that (Winny, Share, Perfect Dark). Torrents aren't that popular there, and Japanese content torrent uploads aren't usually done by Japanese people.

Windows 10 (any version) doesn’t let you install it without a microsoft account these days - it used to, but they removed that function during one of the updates. They do let you transition to a local account after install though. That caught me by surprise when i had to reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 10 at one point

So a version that does let you install with just a local account right off the bat is a strict improvement from my point of view.

Maybe the article authors were unaware of that change to the Windows 10 install process - it certainly would explain the odd slanting.

Edit: interesting, from the replies it looks like you either have to not connect to the network or say you are going to join a domain (which was untrue in my case) that explains why i couldn’t find the option then!

Not when I step over homeless/needy Americans.

Don't get me wrong, it's sad, but the USA is not what it used to be, and we need to target our borrowed money resources.

(I have no idea as to the real reason we stayed so long there. I'm beginning to think it was military practice. I wouldn't be suprised if some defense guy said, we have to build up our the iron in our military in order to keep our lead on China's expanding fleet of war machines. (I used "iron" because I'm lazy, and figured it was ok because of what Xi just said.)
I quite well comprehend that richer nations have better testing. Those are the test results we have to go on (not Cameroon or North Korea - those would be blank guesses). The numbers are static across all nations that did serious population testing, so we actually do know the asymptomatic rates, and they are not 5x the diagnosed rates. They may well be 5x the positivity rate in poor countries that don't do much testing, but that still doesn't change the asymptomatic rate for people who have the virus.

Second point: Hospitals were recording symptoms of covid even prior to widely available testing, and as soon as the virus spiked their ICU beds were full. This has been the case in every country in the world. They didn't need to test patients. Those patients were dying in the hallway, and on ventilators. The spike was clear and obvious in each country when it arrived.

And in each country, the percentage of people testing positive who had no symptoms was roughly the same. So the argument that there have been 5x as many people as reported who had covid - and had no symptoms - is totally false.

The thing I like most about this latest release of my Javascript library for the HTML5 canvas element is that I managed to make the new reaction-diffusion asset performant in a 2d canvas. Most of the code I uncovered through internet searches displayed the RD algorithm using WebGL technology - which is probably the best way to do it, but my library is strictly 2D canvas API.
By using this, how do you prevent the initial render (before js runs) the blink showing the user the raw template? That's a big drawback, isn't it?

There's absolutely no chance that a Roman age athlete could compete in speed or strength fields. Look at people like Hafthor Bjornsson, steroid fueled giants. These people could not exist in the Roman age

There certainly was deliberate deletion of raw patient sequence data from the NCBI database. See the paper by Jesse D. Bloom that the NYT article references[1]. I would classify this as "manipulation".

The author is also puzzled why this was done if the data matches the published summary in the Wang et al. 2020b paper, but hasn't received any replies from the authors.

This is also interesting:

> Particularly in light of the directive that labs destroy early samples (Pingui 2020) and multiple orders requiring approval of publications on COVID-19 (China CDC 2020; Kang et al. 2020a), this suggests a less than wholehearted effort to maximize information about viral sequences from early in the Wuhan epidemic.

> I don't even think there's any connection to the WIV here: the corresponding authors don't appear to be affiliated with the institute.

The authors of the nanopore paper are associated with Wuhan University. Since the CCP controls all aspects of Chinese research it's safe to say that a connection with the WIV certainly exists and they would be in a position to control the output of both.

Again, the reason behind this will likely never be known to the outside world. But to take anything coming from Chinese researchers as evidence for a narrative that exculpates China from any fault would be extremely naive. Or do we really believe there's nothing suspicious about a country of 1.4bn people having 5,508 reported deaths from COVID-19[2]?

From what I have gathered the smallest trace spacing is 3nm but not all traces. So it would be interesting to know what percentage is and the progress in getting all or most to 3nm.
Intel isn't out of the fab business, just behind.
Being behind is much less relevant economically than some people think, especially in this seller's market.

It's not like 14nm processors will magically stop working, you just pay more TDP for performance. If one day the US decides Taiwan is not worth it, it would just pay a bit more until Intel catches up (which will happen eventually).

Chinese investments into infrastructure are hardly corruption-free. Look at the case of the new port in Sri Lanka, which was a fairly obvious debt trap from the beginning.

TSMC is both a monopoly for the newest chips and a geopolitical risk in the case of China taking over TSMC in Taiwan.

I think that if TMSC has a subsidary in US, it would be really hard for TSMC Taiwan to block TSMC US from licensing IP from it after the knowledge is transferred. Regarding the monopoly status: sure, healthy competition is good, but it's something competitors (Samsung, Intel) should tackle on the market.
Sounds plausible but are there any sources on these mass testing efforts and their methods?
