Ha! I had the exact opposite experience. With Win10 Desktop I had no problems, everything works mostly as expected. I'm not on the beta channel or whatever so I guess that contributes to the stability.

Now, onto Linux, most recent example. I had a throwaway Thinkpad with Ubuntu on it. Had to go through an unusual setup because I wanted RAID and FDE so had to do a server install and then install Gnome. This might have contributed to the problems but still. The networking didn't work because Gnome used one thing and the server install used another. Then the desktop stopped (!) working after some time, randomly. What I mean is icons still showed up but couldn't be clicked or altered from the desktop. Kinda bizzare.

Again, can't stress this enough - my gripes are with Linux Desktop. On the server it's been rock solid ever since I started using it more than a decade ago and it's been a very pleasant experience. And I do understand that Windows Updates can fuck up a server setup, sure.

Anyhow, this has been a pleasant chat, man!
Thanks, yeah. It is completely plausible, I think, that vaccination for any cohort of subjects could reduce their infectivity.

The decision rule, however, is never the existence of a non-zero number. It is always a question of magnitude and whether that magnitude has meaningful impact.

Just to clarify this point: if you experiment with some simple SIR or SIRS models (which are not useful in modern epidemiology, but I digress) you will observe threshold phenomenon. This means that there will be broad ranges where perturbations of parameters (for instance, R0) have little meaningful effect on the progression of the outputs (for instance, the number of infected). Then there will be very small intervals where slight perturbations of parameters have a very meaningful effect on the outputs. For instance, there's not that much difference between R0=5 and R0=6, but there's quite a lot of difference between R0=0.999 and R0=1.001.

This is just to say that: it's plausible that vaccination has little to no impact on actual spread of Covid variants in the global population. I'm not saying this statement is true, I'm just saying that this statement is far from being disproven. There's just not enough evidence to call covid vaccination a "public good" and care about whether the low-risk get it.

One of the most famous examples is Adolf Hitler. Being a bad painter did not pay the bills, so he had a side job for the army checking all kinds of obscure political meetings.

One day he was ordered to verify a DAP meeting, and actually liked what was told. Someone pissed him of, causing him to start one of his famous angry speeches. The DAP was impressed, offered him a position, and the resulting meteoric rise ultimately started a world war.

Helm's biggest problem is...

Let me rephrase that. ONE of Helm's biggest problems is that it uses text-based templating, instead of some sort of templating system that understands the thing it's actually trying to template.

This makes some things much MUCH harder than they should need to be.

It makes it really hard to have your configuration bridge things like "you have this much RAM" or "this is the CPU you have" to flags or environment variables that your code can understand.

It also makes it hard to compose configuration.

As much as I don't like BCL, it is depressingly good at being a job configuration language for "run things in the cloud".
I fail to understand how you equate "Go on interviews even when you don't need a job." with "waste people's time." The idea is to interview when you don't need a job so that you can easily negotiate for the best possible offer. If they won't beat your current compensation or benefits you can say "thanks but no thanks" and if they can you can say "I'd be delighted!" Nobody's time is wasted - the hiring company just has a higher bar to meet to entice you to join their team. If anyone's time is wasted it's yours when they can neither make a competitive offer nor help you to improve your skills in the interview.

If you've only ever interviewed when you were desperate to take the first job that comes along then you're almost certainly under-compensated. Anyone who's not taking a better job when they get the chance is leaving money on the table.
Python also has "shorthand ternary" which uses and/or:

a = bar and foo # "or None" is implied
b = bar and foo or baz

It does almost the same but not quite. In the latter example, if foo is falsey, it evaluates to "b = baz":

b = bar ? (foo ? foo : baz) : baz
If you want to keep your identities separate, then use different identities (hopefully Alias will not dox you). If you want people to have to manually find your different public profiles and not use a tool to do so, that sounds unreasonable.
This is very likely. And has already been said by various critics already months ago. But these people were silenced or ridiculed, because it apparently was already decided the vaccines need to be sold.

> imperfect vaccines can cause selective pressure which enhances the fitness of highly virulent pathogens

The number of ways in which we undertaking a natural experiment in viral evolution has been top-of-mind for me as well. But the greater issue in my view is not that the vaccines are imperfect. All vaccines are somewhat imperfect. On its own, I the mRNA vaccines were probably entirely adequate.

The problem is that the human population, as a result of policy decisions, will continue to have an immediately-adjacent reservoir of infection [0] with whom we are constantly in contact. I speak, of course, of the large numbers of unvaccinated among us. With vaccinated-to-vaccinated chains of transmission, there's a greater chance that a chain of vaccine-resistant variant will die out because the vaccine both reduces the risk of becoming infected [1] and the risk of transmitting infection [2].

But in a heterogeneous population, with large numbers of unvaccinated individuals, those chains of transmission can go on indefinitely, hopping back-and-forth between the two populations. That's a far greater risk here than the issue of a "leaky" vaccine. A vaccine might "leak" a little bit, yet the probabilities of infection and subsequent infection remain so low that all chains of transmission quickly terminate. Instead, we have a situation where the virus can slip into a separate (reservoir) population where it continues unchecked.

That, in my view, is the real risk to furthering infection.

Google now shows why it ranked a specific search result
My understanding is that there is very little evidence of vaccinated individuals actually transmitting the original ("wild-type") virus, or even the Alpha variant (obviously, Delta/Gamma are potentially different beasts). This was why we in the United States dropped mask mandates for vaccinated individuals. I don't know why the narrative always reverts to "oh, the vaccines just decrease symptoms", a statement unsupported by evidence.

EDIT: Before I get downvoted completely into oblivion, take a look at the 90% reduction in infections, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, seen in vaccinated individuals in Israel. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33964222/

I think we can all agree that you can't transmit the virus if you yourself don't get infected.

Well the fact you couldn't reasonably use arrays without Generic Const hit stable in Rust 1.51 says otherwise.

Defining templates on values is very useful, especially in C++ where you can provide template specializations. You can do a whole lot of metaprogramming and compile-time stuff that way.
MariaDB is massive now.

mysql and MariaDB diverged from versions 5.6 and 10 respectively, although MariaDB can and does still merge some fixes from mysql; oracle don’t do that.

MariaDB and the original InnoDB developers are now doing heavy rewrites with big performance gains, replication options like multi-source, spider for sharding and galera are all built in and actively maintained.

Oracle attempted to extort anyone trying to licence a mysql based product(rip infobright), so infinidb and clustrix, now respectively called columnstore and xpand, have new homes with MariaDB and are core parts of the system.
Online schema changes, easy horizontal scale (huge numbers that make db2 and oracle sweat), s3 backed tables, non blocking backups, flashback, versioned tables.

The list goes on, and many industry veterans from ibm, oracle, sybase etc are finding a home there and helping MariaDB grow.

There are new public developer resources and the connectors are feature rich and well loved. There have been a few free online conferences during the pandemic, and MariaDB now has its own place at fosdem not just bundled in with mysql.

If you go enterprise, there isn’t much out there as accessible as maxscale for transaction failover!

What is it called.. Market failure? It's got a name, I don't remember it.

The job market doesn't support certain overqualified people. I gave you an example.

Rationally, you'd think that a cashier that works 3x faster than other cashiers can make 3x the income. Or even 2x.

A plumber could do that, or a woodworker (they might have to start their own company, but they can do it). But a cashier relies on employers and they're just not going to pay a cashier that much. Cashier being an example. There are many support jobs were it just doesn't pay to be good at your job.

These people are technically incentivized to be mediocre. And they often are. Some of these positions allow growth paths, but not all. And just because I'm the world's best cashier, doesn't mean I'm a good store manager.
Maybe? But Kotlin was first launched in 2010 and didn't hit 1.0 stable until the start of 2016. Even the latest versions of Java are still very far behind in ergonomics, features and general usability, to say nothing of exclusive features like Kotlin/Native, Kotlin/JS and Jetpack Compose.

Let's say Java does eventually catch up, but it'll take at least five years. So then Kotlin has been making JVM user's lives easier for a decade by that point. That's pretty good! Definitely worth having.
Whether software offers something I want and whether software does shady things behind the scenes are often completely separate things. If it were allowed, I am sure a lot of the apps I use today would do shadier things. But it's not allowed, so they can't.

If they had the option of going to a less restrictive store, they probably would, and they would do things I am not happy with there. That would be a loss for me.

Yes. Laws _require_ you to have a privacy notice. Just because your license says the software is provided AS IS does not mean it's enough. Noone is going to bother you if it's a small open source project by a bunch of maintainers, but as soon as you're a company, you have to.
My first computer the MSX (but the MSX-2 was really my first love) with it's z80 and vdp. I still have a lot of them (in the late 90s you could pick them up for free or almost free: then they picked up in price) and they still work well. They all work fine.

I do some programming on them for fun and try, when I have the time, to make them really workable. With Symbos and some cheat hardware, this works pretty well.
Entirely true. Many physicists also basically live in Excel. And replicating the functionality of pivot tables isn't at all trivial and they also have a lot of helpers by now. In many cases you just need to click it and have all column neatly formatted so that you don't have to do much anymore.

I also have seen Access applications with more features than a common Salesforce CRMs. I have seen it as a navigation system that could bring you to the nearest partners or shops that provide necessary parts. Yes, there is code of doom behind it and if those maintainers leave the company, problems arise. But the feature set was often extremely hard to beat.

And I am not sure how to respond to non-technical users about better alternatives. They use it as a front end for SQL manipulation and it isn't easy to come up with something better for that target group.

Even worse is SharePoint. It is a complete abomination, it can easily beat most horror novels. But the workflow engines are just extremely practical for corporate processes. Only recently some alternatives came to the market... I just wish I could kill it...
>RAM is sold by the stick in any configuration you can imagine, yet these products are designed to prevent the simplest of upgrades.

Of course, but most consumers outside of tech enthusiasts have no idea which stuff in their laptop is upgradable, even when it is, so they just buy a new device whenever they want to upgrade, because that's how they've been conditioned by the industry.

>It's like being told that you need a new car because you want snow tires.

Let's not give Tesla any ideas now. Joking aside, your comparison is not apples to apples. You can't easily upgrade the engine of your car from a four cylinder to a V8 if you need more power down the line, can you? Come to think of it, even upgrading the multimedia unit is a hassle in modern cars as each unit is locked to its production vehicle. On this note, when do we go after car manufacturers for this anti-consumer practice?
It was essentially like having a text-only version of the web built into your TV, but back in the 80s. TV channels would broadcast the data for the pages in the gaps between video frames and a TV with the appropriate decoder would cache the data and use it to build up the complete set of pages, which you would then access by pressing the "text" button on your remote control. Each TV channel would broadcast its own Teletext service, with most channels offering a mixture of news, sport, entertainment etc.

It sounds (and looks) primitive by modern standards, but it was actually a wonderful technology that worked perfectly well for its intended purpose and was very information-dense. Sadly, we lost Teletext in the UK during the changeover from analogue to digital TV, but I think it's still alive in a number of countries.
