1) A set of a classes with consistent names for scales, colours, etc. You're not working with hex codes or pixel values. It's a more writable and much more readable syntax than inline styles.

2) It has variants for hover, etc (e.g.: class="bg-black hover:bg-white"). AFAIK you can't do that with inline styles.

3) I find it plays nicely with a workflow where I start out not knowing exactly what I'm doing, which is almost all of the time. I can smash ahead and do things in the class="" of each tag, then as I notice that I'm repeating myself, I grab small chunks of the class list and put them in '@apply's in a CSS file. Bottom-up, liek.

The class lists are just a lot more manageable than inline styles. They're copy-pastable and really easy to read when you get used to it, as long as the lists aren't too long.
If you write it in permille the differences appear even smaller. But if you look at the actual number of people who will die if we keep the pandemic going and don't get the vaccination rates up, the difference is suddenly in the millions of people.

…in just one given week, though. And that week was not so bad; in January we had case rates many multiples higher.

But maybe if you count infections per second, instead of per week, you can get a number so close to 100% not dead that it’s a rounding error: pandemic solved!
Back when Bootstrap 2 was the most popular UI library one of the biggest problems with it was that the defaults were good enough that no one changed them, and consequently every SaaS startup's product looked the same for about 5 years. Pushing people to tweak things while still giving them a solid foundation is a good thing.

I'm not saying that's necessarily the case here, but there is a strong argument in favor of not making the default theme for a UI library look perfect.

I think when a blockchain network begins as POS, this is correct. It's almost impossible to distribute the funds in a way that doesn't benefit the early adopters, because they need to stake a large chunk of the available supply to secure the network against attacks.

But Ethereum didn't begin as POS, it began as POW and has been POW for 6 years now. They allowed anyone to participate in the pre-sale in 2014 and got BTC deposits from thousands of people to bootstrap the network.

As a result, no one has more than 1% of ETH supply. Vitalik himself has about 300K ETH or so (less than half a percent).

BTC Proof-of-Work today requires large amounts of capital to earn new coins and already ~89% of the supply has been mined. To mine the last 11%, you need massive datacenters filled with ASIC miners, access to massive amounts of electricity, and you need to spend capex on upgrades the whole way.

There's no perfect solution as each approach have trade-offs, but at least Ethereum is a platform. Anyone can launch a token on top of the platform, create a protocol like Uniswap and turn it into a multi-billion dollar DAO.

What I want to know is, when are automated provers gonna be useful for thickies like me?

That is, I'm an economist and I regularly want to prove stuff that would be far below the level of a real mathematician. Simple problems in R or R^N with continuous functions and maybe the output will be "such and such an optimal solution is increasing in some parameter". Right now there's mathematica, which can be useful but won't really do stuff on its own - it'll rearrange an equation but I can't ask it "prove this is increasing". Or there are these high level systems for proving deep theorems. Is anyone trying to fill the gap?

I want the freedom to evaluate a product from what I see around me, and decide if I should use it. It is quite simple.

If it is beyond me to evaluate the product, I would look at people who are capable that I trust, to evaluate it for me.

So this is the basic principle in this context. I should be free to choose who I trust. Just because I trust someone, shouldn't mean you must trust them as well.

But with these mandates, the implication is that every one should trust a certain bunch of people. And that is the freedom of choice that is really being taken away from the people.

Personally, before COVID, my company reshuffled me into a group without anyone physically around for the most part. I had no in-person interaction most days when I went to the office. I simply stopped going in and just WFH’ed. I had only one complaint in years about it. COVID made it official, and then the company decided to make a round of layoffs. I didn’t make that cut (unrelated to WFH) but was able to find a fully remote job that pays better and I have zero change in my work socialization. Instead, I’ve tried focusing more on non-work options, as those will be more portable anyway.

My goodness Bootstrap, how far ahead of your time you were. To this day we copy you, god bless you m’lord.

Nope, I reject this. We should be so much farther ahead than this. It’s the garbage fullstack developers that need this crap to make a good ui. They don’t belong on the frontend, and I’m pretty tired of it.

Our UI/UX will get shittier and shittier if we coddle this group.
syscalls are really not that expensive. The hardware overhead to cross the privilege boundary both times is only like 100 nanoseconds on modern hardware with maybe a few hundred nanoseconds with full speculation mitigations enabled. Essentially everything else is work that someone in the system needs to do. That work would not go away even if you were to link everything into the kernel, so you really only save the hardware overhead by reducing the number of syscalls. So, unless your code is mainly hot loops <1-5 us in duration with a syscall needed per loop you would not really be getting that much efficiency by reducing the number of syscalls. To gain real benefits you need to be able to make the syscall implementations faster which is certainly possible with a different syscall paradigm.

There is zero mechanism under patent law to enforce what you are referring to.

Patent law is about selling items not consuming them so they could prevent me from selling a clone of office but they cannot prevent me from installing office

as far as contract law that would be between two parties so if I obtained a copy of office somewhere and I did not have a contract with Microsoft nothing I would not be violating a contract with Microsoft copyright is the only mechanism they use to stop unauthorized distribution of their software
You're right you are unaware. This is not an insult and I'm not trying to offend you. This is a factual statement. You truly are unaware as you stated yourself, and I can prove it to you.

First off FRP is actually a term. Functional Reactive Programming. It is 100% a functional paradigm that gasp by DEFINITION cannot be procedural. So you truly didn't know what you were talking about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_reactive_programmin...

Second there are many languages/frameworks that use this paradigm. React partially uses this paradigm. But I will list two popular ones that strictly follow it... just note that there are more. Much more.

Take a look at elm. Elm is a fully functional UI library and language that is 100% pure, functional and has no OOP. Believe it or not ELM is not some toy, it is production ready and actually measurably faster than react. This language is what popularized the FRP pattern which is partially used by React today. See here: https://elm-lang.org/examples/mario

Note the load time and latency on the mario game. React doing the same thing will be slower.

Another language is ReasonML. ReasonML is essentially a language that compiles to the browser and has one to one correspondence with another functional language... OCaml.

ReasonML is Created by the creator of React, Jordan Walke. Coupled with React as framework, ReasonML is essentially the ideal GUI paradigm that Jordan would recommend everyone to use in the ideal world. However due to the fact that everyone is use to javascript, Jordan instead as a first step, ported FRP concepts over to a language called JSX (essentially JavaScript mixed with html) and is slowly nudging the world in the direction of GUI programming using the functional style: https://reasonml.github.io/

Make no mistake the creator, of the most popular GUI framework in the world is a supporter of the pure functional paradigm, and he is heavily and successfully pushing the functional style programming of GUIs into the mainstream.

OOPs being the dominant paradigm for GUIs has, in the past five years, become a false statement.

You're right on the wrapper part though. Assembly language is essentially a procedural language so every functional thing that exists on top of it, is a wrapper. But I mean this is a pointless observation.

>I have no problem with society applying a bit of societal pressure on people to get vaccinated voluntarily.

The problem is that you are essentially imposing your trust in the institutions, onto others.

Trust in "science" is fundamentally different from trust in "scientists". Even though it might make sense to apply societal pressure to mandate trust in "science", it makes no sort of sense to mandate trust in "scientists".

I think it is hard for a lot of people to see or acknowledge the distinction between "Science" and "Scientists" which is causing these debates..

Your statement is very similar to saying "maybe she shouldn't have worn a short skirt if she didn't want to get raped".

Top health official is talking about UV light killing the virus, person replies asking questions about possibility of UV light used for disinfecting the lungs as the technology was patented that week, media turns this into "person tells people to inject bleach", ideologues believe whatever media sells them without any questioning, ideologues blame the person instead of media for spreading disinformation, ideologues censor the person.

Partisan hackery isn't helping when the media is lying and ideologues choose to go along with it. Maybe it's time for ideologues to re-consider their own beliefs.

page 18 seems to be indicating that Delta is ~2x more likely to have all of the bad outcomes relative to ancestral strain.

That combined with how much more infectious this is makes it truly worrying.

One interpretation of the fact that Israel has such different numbers on vaccine effectiveness is that effectiveness starts dropping ~6 months in.

We'll need to start doing 3rd shots for lots of people ~now.
I wasn’t thinking that, but I see your point. That is a very real possibility these days.
Am I? Level of olfaction impairment and cognitive impairment have tracked together according to some other sources. Again, I'll be glad if this isn't true.

He was most struck by three findings: One, he said, was the frequency with which people who had been exposed to the coronavirus had subsequent problems with memory. About 60 per cent had cognitive impairment, and for 1 in 3, the symptoms were severe.

Second, his findings indicate that the severity of a COVID-19 patient’s illness does not predict cognitive problems. “What puts you at risk of having the cognitive problems is just having been infected, regardless of how badly ill you were,” he said. “You may have had very mild COVID, but if you were infected and you are older, you are at risk of having these issues.”

And, third, losing the ability to smell, which has been commonly reported among COVID-19 patients, is correlated with cognitive troubles. “They track together quite well,” de Erausquin said. “The more severe your lack of smell, the more severe your cognitive impairment.”

Can this application actually e-file? From what I see it can help you fill out various tax forms, but you would need to manually file it (print/mail it in) rather than e-file. Is that correct?

You can have that remotely. In my team we (8 people) spend our whole day on a visio conference room. We’re mainly idle but we use it to ask for help, discuss decisions informally, vent, talk about whatever(games, movies, etc.), all of that exactly the same as in the open space, but better because we can still disconnect if we need to focus.

If we need a real meeting or need to talk with a specific subject, we just go to another conference room, in the same way we’d use a meeting room in the office.

The thing though is that we have a dedicated device for the visio. For now it’s a Cisco DX but it could work with an iPad for example.
