1) All current variations of concern come from mostly unvaccinated countries. Apparently there's a serious issue with immunocompromised individuals and the vaccines may help prevent that:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/covid-variants-ma...

2) We can see with SARS and MERS that a more deadly form may actually reduce overall mortality, since the virus can't spread as effectively. However, we haven't had this effect so far.
I'm a big fan of Apple IIs, as an Apple //e was the first computer I've ever used as a child. When I got a little older and read about its hardware, I was really impressed by the amount of trickery involved to make the graphics and the disk drive work.
No idea what you mean with historians (also some other parts of the comment), but I think you’re conflating Republicans as in voters with Republican politicians. While the latter are generally what they are, the former can be many things, in particular misinformed victims of the latter.
This reminds me of owls in Futurama: https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Owl
This looks really great, with some good choices for my kind of use - 3:2 screen, 1080 webcam, better than normal travel on the keys, and being able to easily upgrade memory and storage is a big deal.

The reviews seem to be finding concerns with thermals while battery life and overall performance seems pretty so-so.

I expect that battery life and performance could be improved through upgrading in the future, but it seems like thermals might be a difficult problem to fix.
Huh. Well, LibreOffice still can't preserve the formatting. Not sure if the last version of real-Excel I tried could.

Having the compose box fit itself to the formula size or give other indication that there is more to see is still a head-scratcher why they didn't do it.
From family experience it seems miners these days tend to be in the old, lifer side. Once you've adapted to the hardship, you mostly keep at it. Can be well paying jobs too, in an area with not a lot of jobs...
I would really prefer that a laptop was just a tiny bit thicker to fit a 100WH battery to compensate for that. My T480 gets 12-16 hours with normal use, I imagine it could easily hit 20 with current processors.
Interesting coincidence, someone made a teletext + fax joke about digitization in Germany yesterday (I mean, someone probably makes one every hour, it's fair) and I jokingly asked if you could access German teletext via telnet.

Then just one google query later I stumbled upon https://www.ard-text.de - which is teletext via HTTP in a funny anachronistic way.

But they also have a mobile version ( https://www.ard-text.de/mobil/101 ) which is actually awesome. Minimal layout, 34kb unzipped.
It was interesting until it became a full time ad for Redis.
I'm still using a Windows XP style task bar which is about the same height in total but two rows.

The bottom rows has the currently open applications with the begining of the window title directly visible, the top row has a list of small icons for shortcuts to often used programs (maybe thirty or so).

I find this incredibly more productive than the redesigned taskbar with its huge square buttons and mixing of shortcuts and current windows.
They aren't unintelligent. There are almost no consequences for bad behavior.

Even if they are found guilty on all charges, it wouldn't affect their bottom line too much.

But there may be other factors. Companies that sacrificed employees for the public mob did get into problems with their employees.

If they are found guilty, which I think is very likely, their statement is indeed not too smart though.
Huh had to check and realized Sweden is still running it too:

SVT https://www.svt.se/text-tv/100

What's the more common name of it? Most of europe seems to call it Text TV instead of Teletext?
The type system in C++ is pretty strong actually, it just has too many implicit conversions. It's not like the compiler doesn't know that this value is not a bool.
I've settled on "follow the existing/upstream project's style; if it's a new project, follow the language's idiomatic style". I personally (strongly) prefer spaces over tabs, but I've inherited/forked plenty of projects that use tabs in JavaScript for example, and I just set my editor and formatter to use tabs in that project.

I think the ideal situation is a language with an official or at least commonly accepted formatter, so that existing and new projects will essentially always follow the same style and you never have to think about it. Like "go fmt" always using tabs. I don't like tabs, but I like that kind of enforced consistency way more than I dislike tabs.

That's also why I like using opinionated third-party formatters like prettier and black. Combined with pre-commit hooks, you almost never have to think about style and can just focus on the code. Plus diffs are cleaner.
We had cockatoos who lived with us north of Melbourne (out St Andrews way). They are great birds, and fascinating to watch, and also, if you feed good quality bird seed then they will come around at the same time every day, and be your friends, and if one day you don't feed them for some reason, they deliberately throw your pot plants off your window ledge, one by one, smashing them to the ground, and then you swear never, ever to feed the brilliant little fuckers again.
Teletext is still alive and kicking in Italy as well (Televideo). It has a website [0] and even an RSS feed [1], which is a great source of no-frills news.

Interesting that that is a good choice, a webcam and a screen that can’t display its images.
Yeah they have cleaned shop at this stage.
Hmm. In all seriousness, you could probably build a lint rule/tool to allow only the format you note.
If there is such a process as unbricking, then the title is right. If becoming a brick is irrecoverable, then you are right.

If you can't log into a device, it is a paperweight.

Not that mines have a great reputation for safe operation, but who made the call to allow unvaccinated people to continue working in the mine?
I studied a "hype" field a few years back (Machine Learning and its application to Brain-Computer Interfaces), and can't help but disagree with you.

The AI hype didn't lead to documented falsification or better questions, but a mountain of bullshit literature that was designed to get grants and satisfy the "publish or perish" imperative.
It might be very problematic to read multimedia files from 15 years ago, weren't those the days of 'codec packs' and every downloaded movie seeming to require a different one ?

But at least the multimedia files (and archive formats) were designed to be interchangeable between applications. '.DOC' word docs were basically a binary dump of its internal data structures - there was no intention of it being interchangeable with any other application, and it showed.
It always amazes me how much food is left in bins.

I personally try to never chuck food away - it saves me money, saves the environment and helps others eat (by keeping food prices low). Perhaps once a month do I chuck something out. (Usually because it's gone mouldy before the best before date)

Yet I have seen people who seem to chuck out tens of things every week. I just don't understand their logic - why buy what you can't eat?

In this video for example are bits of uneaten bread/sandwiches.
Amusingly enough, the FTO gene was one of the earliest genes where a link was found between common variants and a trait in humans[0]. Different subtypes of FTO influence your chance of putting on weight. The newspapers at the time (2007) had headlines like "Fat gene found". Interesting to see that adding it to potatoes makes them put on weight too.

I would be very interested in knowing how the key was obtained.

If it was obtained by Russia and passed to Kaseya that would mark a significant change in how cybercrime of this type is being handled by Russia. It might be the point where they said "this is causing us too much damage, stop". Their plausible deniability was long gone anyway.
The additional parts that I could comprehend as strange would be the part where spiral off to and explain what CBD is. "CBD is the governor.." I did that for users who may not be familiar with cannabis. and a "," and a stray capital letter after a comma and a few words. Drat, I see them now. I can see that now. I am always happy to correct my mistakes and I do normally double check, edit, reconstruct.

However if that is truly reason of down-votes and, I will admit some of my comments have been lack-luster contain down-votes, understandably. I do have a learning-disability in English then that's act of discrimination in a way. I can't call upon on those who do and so if the down-votes are truly "I can't read your text and I am not going to bother to put effort in to trying to understand, I am down-voting." is very petty of the user.

However I do not think it's grammatical errors at all. It feels too coincidental, but you could be correct and if that is, then I'll work on it. Thank you for the input.
Oh man those bad Russians:

Okay, I agree with everything you said, BUT we were lied to when we were promised that we'd be back to normal life if we got vaccinated.

We should have had all the information when we made the choice of getting vaccinated or not. You say most people would've gotten vaccinated, I say they wouldn't have. We'll never know, since we were lied to.
Blah, I hate paywalled newsletters. It's fine to maybe do a Patreon or something for extra, bonus content, but I don't think you should stop people from reading your stuff.
So what has changed?

You can buy a Mac today even if you are working at Microsoft.
You know how everyone shouts learn to code? To coders/founders I say learn to design. Or give more of your equity than you think you should to a designer. The nice thing about design is its pretty easy to see examples and references and most designers would actually be happy to work at a start up from the beginning as part of the founding team, its just that in a lot of the tech world designers aren't viewed as integral until after the fact and really the track record of design-led startups and your reaction to ones that are polished out of the gate should indicate otherwise. Contrary to what OP said /u/iMuzz isn't really even a unicorn designer, there's plenty just like them, you've just got to decide its important and find a way to invest time, money, or effort.
Yes, but a lot of car owners do change their own parts, replacing various filters, adding bolt-on parts, changing out suspension, tyres and the like. Just because most people do not do this, doesn't mean that this is something that should be forbidden or designed against. Cars are built to have replaceable parts, why can't laptops be the same? There are issues with the M1 equipped macbooks burning through flash due to users swapping out of the 16 gigabytes of memory that are not expandable. I don't want hardware designers to be legislated out of being able to do interesting things with packaging, like with what AMD is trying to do with integrating memory chips vertically on top of their SoCs, but I would appreciate if there was less hardware turned into e-waste due to a single formerly-user-replaceable chip failing or being deprecated.

Likewise, I'd also like to see less e-waste due to software deprecation (looking at you, Pixel 3).

Sure, nobody is arguing over the basic, well-known facts of the case. We don't need to re-hash the indictment to agree on that.

The question that remains, though (because I am not so familiar with the US legal system) is if failing to commit a crime absolves you of the crime of conspiring to commit it. But I guess there's plenty of case law and precedent around it, being that criminals seem to be constantly a) conspiring and b) failing to commit crimes.

The first 5 sentences of your last paragraph describes pretty much every private citizen facing serious charges in any legal system on earth (maybe not the "forever-face-stomping boot" bit, but I am assuming that was just added for colour). I'm not being facetious, because there are people who genuinely do not believe in crime or punishment - are you one of those? Because this case hasn't been put in front of a judge, so how could it have been thrown out?
I actually appreciate this answer and am sorry you're getting downvotes.

That said, the given justifications still seem subjective to me (why should serifs only taper? I actually like the added weight because it seems to emphasize the orientation of the letter. Why should fonts be scrutinized according to the laws of physics?).

I suppose to some degree the difficulty I'm having is what I view as an over-emphasis on objectivity in a discussion about aesthetics. Not that your perspective is wrong per se, but I find it hard to ignore the strong preference among my peers for choosing (and commenting positively on) this font.
I mis-spoke. 4.5 hours:

"U.K.-based Reaction Engines is developing technology for Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engines (SABRE), which could one day allow aircraft to fly up to five times faster than the speed of sound — that’s Mach 5 or 3,836 miles per hour.

At that speed, hypersonic flights between London and Australia could be over in just four-and-a-half hours."

Prejudice is at the core of being bigoted and you are not making a great case. Instead, you judge on objections.

I don't think this to be true and think accusation of sexism/racism in tech are extremely disproportional.
I think it's still pretty good. I ran into some issues with json support some years ago, but querying json may be an edge case (as opposed to storing text & creating your own indices)
No, there are so many wrong statements in your comment that I don’t even know from where to start.
The current cost for 60 satellites on falcon 9 is around 10M$ if I remember correctly.
From next year they will likely be able to send 400 satellites for the same price with starship and the aspirational goal is to have a cost of 2M$ per launch.
It implies a cost of ~55M$ to send 11000 satellites.
Even if they will never reach that aspirational goal it would probably cost them ~300M$ for 11k satellites and ~1B$ for 42k satellites at 10M$ per launch.
It’s perfectly feasible, you just can’t understand how starship is such a game changer.
I don't think weak has a formal sense in any formal sense.
It's looking extremely iffy right now as to whether it's even possible to achieve herd immunity against the current variants through vaccination, which will set up basically the perfect environment to select for vaccine escape globally: enough people vaccinated that it's a strong advantage, but the virus can still spread and infect more people in order to get a chance to adapt.
+1, trackpoint is keeping me vendor-locked to Lenovo. It's just too useful for text editing to pass up. And it must have 3 buttons, middle button is essential for scrolling.
Downvote as much as you want, the truth ain't changing :)
Wonder how this fits in with Pegasus...
I mean, that's kind of the point. These are things you can make work with these frameworks, you just have to opt out of all optimizers and JIT compilers to make it work (including TorchScript). Yes, there are some examples you can get away with that because the matmuls are big enough. No, that's not every model you could ever use, or even close to that. In fact, in the context of ODEs we found for example torchdiffeq is ~20x-5000x slower than it should be on simulating many scientific models, in large part because TorchScript optimizations are not able to be enabled on that code (https://gist.github.com/ChrisRackauckas/cc6ac746e2dfd285c28e... , and it shows that enabling TorchScript does nothing, and you can trace it back to the dynamic constructs). This is thus a proof of concept of some ML algorithms that are then not handled by the optimizers and require the fallbacks to the slower setups.
Absence of one gender in a certain industry is not sufficient evidence for discrimination.
The gene that was added is translated into a protein that floats around the cell doing the RNA demethylation. The plants already have other genes that produce proteins that did that, but adding another one has an effect.

Edit: correction - thanks Scaevolus, my mistake.
My point was more general. The US exercises their power and that is not surprising: it is a fact of life.

Lived out that way growing up. They gnawed at our weatherboards and deck railing. Always a major PITA.
Train people on the job? No no, much better to market to youngsters how much demand there is in a field and how easy it will be to get a job so they spend multiple years in school training for it theoretically, only to find upon graduation that things have changed and the industry no longer needs them. /s

In reality, on the job training has largely disappeared in the last few decades outside a handful of trades. Business has pushed the risk and costs of training to labour and the costs have subsequently skyrocketed despite lower expected return.
To get an idea on how to deal with ZIP files in code:

— in C, minimal-style library: https://github.com/richgel999/miniz, look especially at https://github.com/richgel999/miniz/blob/master/miniz_zip.h

— in JS, writing only and no compression: https://github.com/PaulCapron/pwa2uwp/blob/master/src/zip.js (255 lines including blanks & comments)
The remaster was such a disappointment. They re-released one of the best couch co-op games of all time without couch co-op. :/
Hehe, same. I thought I had the wrong version of Win10 and that's why I was lucky to not get it. Actually the whole Win10 version thing is a disaster, with the old SP names you could at least easily check, but iirc the 20H1 is not in the version string and upgrading is either completely transparent or completely opaque...
Rust would have prevented this.
yea this seems like the perfect modern linux "hacker" laptop.
Not just cockatoos, but also magpies, at least that's what I've observed recently. Both are intelligent birds with not so good reputation, I'd avoid making them my enemies. Both can do significant damanages to your garden and plants. Cockatoos and magpies are intelligent enough to observe human beahviour and retaliate when those who try to offend them when they are not present at home (don't ask me how I know this...). Over time, I learned to make friends with them, make the gardens friendly and attractive to them, toys (river stones, small toys, ablone shells, etc.), clean water source and so on, I've been living with both cockatoos and magpies for years now. It seems that the magpies have a strong sense of territory, the same group returns everyday, while cockatoos visit less often, or simply randomly.

On cockatoos: One of my neighbours have been keeping a white cockatoo as pets for 10+ years, the bird start to lose feather on tis chest... The bird is kept in a large cage with a meshed window facing a park / playground, the bird says hello to pretty much everyone who waves at or greets it. Sometimes it even says "have fun" in a weird tone - it took me at least 20 times before I figured out what it was trying to say ;-)

On magpies: their beaks are not at advantage to open bin lids as cockatoos'. However, individual magpies are smart and powerful enough to open overflowed bins' lids and mess up the garbage.
I haven't used Windows for many years at this point but, back when I did, my taskbar lived on the left (and was set to auto-hide). If I was still on Windows now then losing the ability to move it would be very jarring for me.
Yeah, me too.

I traveled by bus all the way from Southern Italy to Sweden just before the virus hit the news, and fell sick with the same symptoms for about a week from the day I arrived.

The fever was nasty, but the one thing I remember most is lying there alone in the middle of the night feeling like I wasn't getting enough oxygen and wondering what the hell was going on.
Years back when I lived in South Morang, they would go house to house digging through the rubbish bins. Even if you put bricks on the lids, they would team up to topple them off and get the lid open.

Nowadays I live a little further south, we have clouds of screaming Cockies every morning. I wouldn't dare feed them for fear they would bring the entire hoard.

They are cool birds bu very... independent if you will.
That’s both condescending and evidently not true at all.
You'll miss out on a whole range of engineers that have a life outside of work (which also brings some balance and maturity to the job), and therefore have no time (or inclination) to groom a public presence on the internet. Raising a family, going cycling, volunteering, reading books - these are all more valuable insights into a candidate for me, more so than your retweets.
Opposing anecdote: I have converted excel spreadsheets built over years to SQL, and typically it did not take weeks to do that.

( Any organization that has a smallest reason to care about their data should remove save button from excel and start educating their personnel. Using excel in any important role should be seen as making the eventual mistakes on purpose and someone should be kept responsible.)
> Data transformations are inherently a pipeline/function abstraction, and even non-technical users understand that. Spreadsheets don't offer a good way to decompose a data transformation process and inspect each step for correctness.

They absolutely give you that ability; you break the transformation across many cells. Spreadsheets are probably the most successful functional reactive programming paradigm set of languages out there.

Yes but at some point there will be a position such as 'senior doctor of whatever' and having a medical licence would be taken as a given, and yet there will be some competition for that place.

I don't know really if these discussions are around hiring for your average SE role or something more specific though.
Good point - some 2012 Macs are still getting security patches so that's 9 years and counting! Some iPads are nearing 7 years. It depends on the device though. Apple TV 3 from 2012 is limping along but some popular channels (HBO, Youtube, etc.) no longer work. It remains to be seen what software support will look like for intel Macs as Apple moves to ARM.

Apple's officially supported repair lifetime for hardware lasts for 5 years I believe. I managed to squeak in a few repairs right before some devices became "vintage" by Apple's reckoning, though I think they may still offer repairs for some older devices if parts are available.
