The second paragraph is funny to me:

> I memorized phone numbers, jotted things down in notebooks, had conversations with taxi drivers, talked to random people at bars, wrote checks, went to the bank, and daydreamed.

I did all of these (except the phone number one) in the last week.

More than technological advancements or anything else, all of this nostalgia is really just about getting old.

Overlay Overload: Competing Popups Are an Increasing Menace
While this is a literal interpretation of all-cause mortality from the paper, I’m not sure this is the right take away.

There was such a dramatic reduction in overall cases in the vaccination group that deaths are probably more statistical noise in both groups than being tied to covid one way or another.

Currently deaths and cases have diverged dramatically in the population and this might be more indicative of the real world vaccine performance as it pertains to reducing death.

Gmail now pretty much breaks single-use tokens in links because it consumes them itself after a user clicks on them, but before redirecting the user to the site.

It's an unfortunate change that has made single-use links a worse UX and less popular in the last couple of years.

Yeah, but so what? The geometric shape isn't very interesting. The insect camouflaging itself as a leaf still functions as an insect. It doesn't perform photosynthesis.

Considering that we have a whole class of lifeforms that have nothing like a head with eyes and mouth or limbs, the idea that this would evolve independently more likely than something completely different, is also possibly unfounded.
I don't object to arresting them, seems like they deserve that, but the raid sounds like it was unnessarily violent for a non-violent crime.

Somewhere between 0 and infinity? I asked extremely simple questions algorithmically (not anything posted online) and didn’t discount candidates on not knowing the algorithm but about half of the people couldn’t write ~20 lines of code after we’d already talked through it. Another 30% could but the code was total mess. I passed roughly 20% personally of which about half passed the hiring committee.
Is it not "rear view" mirror, not "review" mirror? Or is that some regional term?
Material UI core is around ~100kb bundled.

If you’re doing some kind of code-splitting or SSR you can probably serve a fraction of that.

Unless you’re developing for a very particular use case like embedded, I fail to see how the raw size of the package is any concern given how much MaterialUI brings to the table in terms of interaction design capabilities and dev speed.

Regarding your comment on the network tab, that’s really got me scratching my head… I’ve done a lot of profiling of React apps and when they’re bundled you don’t see a network call explosion because you’re just downloading a couple of JS bundles at worst… I can guarantee that a React app with the dependencies you describe would have anywhere between good and excellent network performance in 3G and above.

I'm still reading up so looking for resources. What's a good introduction that talks about how the Chinese state is looking at individual choices? 5 year planning makes sense but the implementation is key (India for example had similar planning processes). Is there writing on how Xi or the CCP thinks about incorrect choices in the planning or a fail-safe that prevents what happened to the Soviet Union? Have they ever talked about getting things wrong?
Pasting the rebuttal to that point from the comments of the linked paper:

Those are all-cause death. The number of covid-related deaths were 2 in the placebo and 1 in the vaccine arms. There simply weren't many covid deaths during this part of the trial (probably because most of the participants were <55 years old).
USA allows pregnant females to get the vaccine.

Our biggest remaining group is the 12-and-under population (which needed a new set of tests to figure out the new dosage. Young children weigh much less than an adult and therefore need much lower doses...). The current estimates are maybe October before this children are authorized.
> Your position seems to be that an attempt by such a group to concentrate geographically somewhere in order to exercise the right to self-determination is fundamentally illegitimate because any such attempt is "colonialism".

If that relocation involves creating a new state or otherwise taking power over the region, then yes that’s my definition of colonialism.

There's a lot of evidence about what worked what didn't work. Dozens of countries and well organized societies responded well to the pandemic.
> and it may also be the case that those who have a tendency to be skeptical of vaccines also were the ones most out and about and exposing themselves during the pandemic, i.e. the ones with the highest chance of being infected.

Sure, _maybe_.

> [...] would seem to indicate that most Western populations are already at herd imnmunity by this point

Given that infections are still rising pretty hard, what indicates to you that we are _at_ this point, and not, say, 6 months out?
> Maybe this was acceptable language in 2012, but it was still having a bad effect on people, arrogance cannot substitute argumentation.

I find it refreshingly honest, vivid, cathartic and spot on. Complaints from the peanut gallery just make me love it even more.

IMO it was most likely the Euros football/soccer championship leading to a lot of mixing in crowded spaces among younger men who maybe didn't yet have the vaccine or we're from backrounds that are the sort that typically ignore this sort of thing.
> But what is purpose of `Maybe`?

In this case, it's to provide a better error message in case there's an empty list than `fromList` would provide.

> You never have to worry about that value in this case because... well... that's the benefit of using `Maybe`.

But you do, your entire program doesn't live in `Maybe` so at some point you have to check whether it's `Just a` or `Nothing`. Once again, the whole point of the post is to argue that getting out of the `Maybe` as close to parsing time as possible is preferable so you have a more specific type to work with after that. You also see right away what didn't parse instead of just knowing that something didn't parse, which is what would happen if you stayed in the `Maybe` monad for all your parsing.

> Left out in the discussion seem to be the unvaccinated but already infected. As far as I know, prior infection confers at least some degree of immunity.

We don't know how much, though. There are cases in which vaccine performs better than a natural infection, there are cases in which the vaccine performs worse than natural infection. Without time for a study, it's impossible to know where we lie with Covid.
> Lemme see exactly the card.... Radeon RX 5500 XT. Not exactly cutting-edge even when I bought it—I usually shop bang-for-buck, plus deliberately went a little out-of-date since I was buying for a planned Linux machine.

AMD Navi cards have a known issue that causes those crashes[0]. It's believe to be a hardware issue since RMA'ing the card normally fixes the issue, but you're right in that it's something that only the linux driver seems to trigger.

I'm certainly not going to argue that forcing everyone to rent would be good in any way. Sounds terrible.

I just want to point out: there is nothing about this article indicating forced rent is likely to happen anytime in our or our children's life time, if ever. This article is just scare mongering in the same vein as those death panels of Obama.
The numbers I've seen are that death rate per capita has been lowering California than Florida so far, so while I think investigation should be done about about "were the outcomes so much better to justify whatever additional cost[0]" I haven't seen anything suggesting that public health measures haven't had any effect.

We should, of course, also wait until things have actually settled down and we don't keep having more periodic surges...

[0] how costly, exactly, things have been is another question that needs more investigation, especially for all types of interventions. E.g. if, after 2022, nowhere in the US institutes another Covid mask mandate or lockdown, all the folks hysterical about how "Covid is just an excuse for democrats to take your freedoms away and never give it back" should rethink a few things.
Realizing that most arguments made here are perfectly valid in either case, it strikes me as ironic that nobody seems to question the authenticity of the image that spawned this discussion in the first place.

It is a completely reasonable requirement of a large organization to ensure an endpoint meets certain criteria before being allowed access to an internal network.

I'm not arguing that Wireguard has an obligation to tackle that problem themselves. I'm arguing against your assertion that VPN access should be completely decoupled from ensuring endpoint security.
What Happened to the Democrats Who Never Accepted Bush's Reelection (2020)
You seem to believe that in the face of an attack Bitcoin will not adapt, that is a fatal error. There are many methods of reaching consensus available in the toolbox and the number is only growing. Proof of work failing does not equal Bitcoin failing, you might be a bit confused about this point.

---Responding here due to rate limit...

Variations of POW, POS, POK, etc....are easy drop in replacements that are actively being developed as we speak. Most of those alts you speak of have Bitcoin DNA at their core.

>And even if it does, nothing prevents me from 51% attacking that one, too.

Good luck attacking Bitcoin with a proof of stake hybrid that requires owning 51% of the supply to succeed, when the majority of the supply is already issued and is not available for sale. That's why I keep stating that a 51% attack/defeating POW is just the beginning of the work the Fed has to do...

---Rate limit response part 2....

>Finally, this is all kind of irrelevant to the article.

I think you are admitting defeat in long form. The article itself is irrelevant because it doesn't consider the 2nd order effect of any attack. Bitcoin is considered anti-fragile for a reason, it gets stronger as it gets attacked. The developer communities (including the devs working on alts) are an inextricable part of its anti-fragility.

>not some imaginary future thing we might or might not be able to invent after the Fed 51%s actual bitcoin to oblivion.

I could hit a target where it was positioned x years ago... Big Whoop. You aren't defeating its current form, so you lose, repeatedly, and debase the currency (USD) further in the process.

After a few trillion dollar USD expended on failed attacks, the currency being issued will be debased enough to be noticeable by consumers. This "infinite money printer" argument is not thought through. The outcome of more debasement is more demand for bitcoin aka undebaseable money.

Bitcoiners know there is a hyper inflationary event coming soon, I'm sure many would love to induce it by getting the fed to burn money attacking bitcoin :D

Senior full-stack engineer looking to be engineer 1 - 20. My ideal next employer would be cooperative structure (democratic decision making processes, fair wealth distribution) with an emphasis on employee longevity (supportive of health and family).
Technically, the best solution is distribute. Specifically, compute stuff on user's own devices, as opposed to moving everything to these centralized clouds controlled by just a few large corporations.

Too bad that's unlikely to happen.
'NPR’s funding from Gates “was not a factor in why or how we did the story,” reporter Pam Fessler says, adding that her reporting went beyond the voices quoted in her article. The story, nevertheless, is one of hundreds NPR has reported about the Gates Foundation or the work it funds, including myriad favorable pieces written from the perspective of Gates or its grantees.'
https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-fu...
That is a dramatic misrepresentation of that preprint. The number of deaths is small enough that it is hard to draw inferences from it, and that was not the endpoint of the study. Rather, the key finding is a vaccine effectiveness of 97% against severe disease.

A preprint that did address deaths[1] found a vaccine effectiveness of 98.7% against death. This is not consistent with your claim of "no evidence."

In earlier versions of Elixir where you had to explicitly add the libraries as additional processes to start, I remember being very confused why things like e.g. an HTTP client needed its own process. To be honest I still felt a little uneasy about it every time. Thinking of those processes as just “the library needs some internal state” makes so much more sense!

query planner is a very complex, unpredictable piece of software that makes decisions I end up paying for. yes, I want it dismantled, and the same problem addressed somehow otherwise. maybe via dumber "query planners" and better "hints", even though the word "hint" doesn't go far enough in the direction of control that I need.

"NSO would generally run the anonymising nodes on the Internet and seemingly insist on installing and maintaining the servers hosted at the client site where data eventually ends up. There is a note saying that customers could set this up themselves but I suspect the countries involved wouldn't have the expertise to do so. Thus to a country such as France which has been targeted, they would have to assume it is actually Israel spying on France via proxy countries. "

I would be shocked if NSO wasn't feeding intel its 'clients' acquired spying on their targets to Israel.
> but everything around key distribution is left to external systems.

That's what I'd like, since authentication is usually a pain to set up and with Wireguard, there's none to be done. This also means it's totally stateless and is great for mobile devices where a connection might be broken and crsated again frequently.
Okay but if wages are stagnating how is that wage price spiral going to start that is going to cause all that long lasting inflation that everyone is talking about?

How are they not winning? They have repeatedly exceeded even the most paranoid fears of people who value sound money. They are increasing the scope and magnitude of their interventions every day. They are continually eroding any checks or balances that were in effect historically. Sovereign debt is at levels that have never been experienced in the history of mankind, and they continue to bask in the glow of favorable public opinion. The average person is thankful that the Fed is here to save the economy from disaster. In America we have a treasury secretary who is literally a Fed chairman.

The fiat standard may be imploding, but the central banks are definitely winning. The Weimar hyperinflation, for example, did not destroy the Reichsbank; it empowered it. When the currency collapsed they did not replace it with sound money, they replaced it with new fiat of a different color with less zeroes on it. It's the same with all the other hyperinflations we've seen in the past century. The mantra of "this time is different" makes a pretty bold claim and requires some evidence to back it up.
