We have vaccinated those in wealthy countries, and most people in the industrializing and middle income world will eventually get shots, though not necessarily the most highly effective. But there is no credible plan to mass vaccinate the people in Congo or Haiti right now, honestly.

Even a global crash effort expending far more money than we're likely to, would take many years. It took about 60 years to eradicate (almost) polio by vaccine. Even optimistic scenarios suggest for the near and medium term future, there will be large concentrations people who aren't vaccinated in various regions, sustaining the virus's wild spread.
Meh. I have some issues with the criticisms there, but they make some okay points too.

I don't see this as a reason to dismiss the entire language though. I've seen more damning arguments against Go, Rust, Zig, etc.

Recommended trying out authenticity sometime, if you can manage negative emotions around fear/vulnerability.

Then you'll more likely recognize it in others.

FWIW, I believe there are only two ways to build this library correctly: the way you described here (where intermediate date values are allowed to be invalid) and simply making "one month after 2021-01-31" throw an exception.

> The problem is that "What is one month after 2021-02-28?" doesn't have a single meaning in plain human language.

Thank you. That's exactly it. Crazy to see how many developers don't seem to grasp it here. I guess it's the "trap" that we are used to datetimes before the time when we became developers and we have to actually relearn this stuff to get the idea.
Then I guess were done here if you dont see what Im getting at. I think ive explained enough you just dont like what im saying.

Eve Online, probably.
I always found her to be… uncanny in photos and videos; intense in a disconcerting way. She looks like a perfectly normal CEO but there is something in her expression that suggests she doesn’t approach social interactions like most people. Like she is very calculating and works on a predator-prey worldview.
Maybe I’m biased because I only ever looked her up after the allegations against her and said to myself “yup, that’s a psychopath”
i think your droid spaceship will have to do a lot of maneuvering, in order to get into an orbit with small relative distance and velocity to the debris to be gathered. My question is: what will be the lifetime of a single droid spaceships, for how long will it last?

Also, you are planning to use ion thrusters, which is really cutting edge technology; Now wikipedia mentions that starlink sattelites are using ion thrusters in order to raise and adjust orbits. Did you consider asking them for permission to use the same engines/technology?

The previous resources isn’t the ventilators themselves anymore, it’s hospital beds and healthcare staff. Especially healthcare staff.

We’re almost done with the restrictions here in Denmark. You know why? Because people got vaccinated and because we required proof of a test or vaccination to keep the spread down while we were building herd immunity.

It’ll be rich when all that effort was wasted because some new strain mutates in western countries that were full of adult babies.

No, it's not. Vaccinated individuals - even those who catch the virus - have far lower levels of the virus in their bodies, which means fewer chances for mutations.

I found Autopilot annoying until I got used to how it expects you to interact with it. At this point, it really isn’t too bad.

The nice thing is that a Tesla is always very clearly “under the control of Autopilot” or “under human control”. The downside is that it can be a bit frustrating figuring out how to convince Autopilot that you’re still paying attention (adjusting the the volume/cruise control, or briefly depressing the right stick is a lot less finicky than the torque sensor but you eventually get used to what the torque sensor wants.)
Thats a great story. Sounds almost like a mini-keyboard that slides around on a pad. :)

However I wonder if the person(s) who authored the code he copied and pasted also used only mouse, let alone one with 14 buttons.

"... it's whatever floats your boat."

True. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorForth

If someone designs a system for input where I can only use a mouse, for me thats a boat sinker. Not that I love keyboards, it's just they are better than anything else I have found.
> Wireguard provides a boundary beyond that: it does not handle things like IPAM or a central authentication story, leaving those for another system to own. That system is then free to likewise provide a simple interface for whatever it’s doing, and gleaning all the same benefits.

Right, but that system actually needs to be implemented, and the two need to be integrated together, and that part is where I suspect the vulnerabilities are likely to be, because the interface between two systems developed separately is always the most likely point for bugs and misunderstandings to creep in.

People talk about WireGuard having fewer vulnerabilities than OpenVPN and that may be true as far as it goes, but it's missing the fact that you can't simply replace OpenVPN with WireGuard - you would have to replace it with WireGuard plus some certificate management system plus some integration between them. And if everyone builds the last part themselves, it will almost certainly have security vulnerabilities.
The full story there is the local authorities lied initially, then the feds found out and fired them while slamming the red alert button. Mayor of Wuhan and Governor of Hubei sacked in the aftermath. This all happened MONTHS before the virus hit the US.

You can still transmit the disease after getting vaccinated. Maybe if it was like the flu vaccine I'd understand, but it's not. I much prefer the mask mandate and the mask mandate is the only thing that makes sense, at least until they come out with a better vaccine. As it stands right now you have people getting the vaccine lulling themselves into the belief that they can't transmit to anyone, it's impossible to know the stats but easy to see it is just as bad as people who don't have symptoms thinking they don't have the disease and can't spread it.

If the goal is still seemingly to cut down spread this law does absolutely nothing but increase hubris and cause more cases as more people walk around without a mask. Walked into a CVS the other day and both the clerk and some customers had no mask on simply because they got the vaccine. So I'll stick with my mask for now.
> if you are fully vaccinated, you are at essentially no risk of serious illness from SARS-CoV2. And literally anyone who wants a vaccine can get one. Those who choose not to get vaccinated are making a risk calculation; they are making a choice.

There are immuno-compromised people who can't get the vaccine for health reasons. By accepting a lack of herd immunity you are throwing those people under the bus. If you are worried about impacts on minority populations then this is something you surely must be considering.
So why did vaccinations suddenly become a huge problem with people today? Are these people who were never going to go to college but would have caused a fuss if the school demanded vaccination records? Or is it the right politicizing a health issue with misinformation? Maybe it’s even the left pushing vaccines that suddenly has people reflexively twitching their combative muscles?
“ >90% of people will just get vaccinated.”
That's how Common Law has always worked, no? Judges make law. I would guess the rate of Amendments is inversely proportional to the stability of the country (static borders, no more domestic wars, increasing body of case law/precedent).

Wow.... That this had to be explained.
The thousand-zuck stare.
If I tell someone on January 31st “call me a month from today” then we have a call on February 28th and I tell them “call me one month from today” I would expect them to call on March 28th.

In contrast if on January 31st I told them “call me two months from today” I’d expect them to call on March 31st.

It’s very intuitive.
That sucks. I do hope your symptoms improve.

The path to financial independence and retiring early (2019)
“Equal protection” has been subverted time and time again with the argument that making exceptions for an arbitrary demographic doesn’t take anything away from everyone else. Of course that is blind to the fact just about everything is a finite resource and that special privilege is in fact depriving people of life, liberty, and property.
I wonder what these lawyers are thinking with making such mental gymnastics excuses?
It does not seem like a lot to me. You're just looking at one year.

To express this in a sane way you want to express "the last day of the month". You can't claim it is "just keep adding to the hire date one month times the current month minus the hire month" as if I hire you in February that won't work. You really need to be calculating "take the current time, replace the day with 1, add one month, subtract one day" to get the next pay date.
Judges fill out the details of law that aren't in the statutes, but they're not meant to create substitute statutes from whole cloth.

Best Time to Exercise? Morning, Afternoon or Whenever
I find myself wondering how much difference the feeling of speed makes for creating a "flow" state. It may be physically faster to achieve a task, but if there's a minor context switch between "thinking about what to do" and "mousing around to do it" that doesn't happen with the keyboard, with a corresponding context switch back to thinking about the actual task that all this moving the cursor around is part of... how much time do those cost?

How much of one's internal working memory has to be flushed of the image of what you're trying to create, so that you can visually process mousing through menus much more densely packed than anything back in 1989 when Tog wrote that reply?
All art works better when it's pushing against constraints. But I would take the film of the '70s, as flabby and weird and bloated as it ended up, over any other decade.
This is not true. When the smallpox vaccine was being rolled out many restaurants, social clubs, and other places of congregation required proof of vaccination.
This doesn't work either as it wouldn't work correctly if started in a month with less than 31 days. To represent "the last day of the month" you really need to be subtracting one day from the first day of the next month, full stop: any solution working off of these weird rounding rules is going to be unreliable.
Letting the states make their own decisions on issues not addressed by the constitution is a perfectly viable solution. Not sure why that would be particularly difficult.
The similarities with VPA/Alero end at the concept of QR-based login. It is a system for provisioning enterprise vendors and requires a substantial onboarding process. It is not an SDK for integration into consumer-facing / third-party applications.

Can't speak for how it works on the back end (though it clearly works differently from Keyri given VPA's QR code contains much more data and is therefore slower / more unreliable to scan). In terms of security on the front end, VPA is phishable as explained in earlier comment threads.

Yeah ironically I think STEM non-mathematicians (STE?) in these comments seem to have the most difficulty with the concept of “month” because they try to conceive of it as a numerical quantity of days rather than an abstract concept in its own right as a pure mathematician would recognize.

Wow, so much memories on this. My cousins loved it. I still have a dusty SNES w/ that game somewhere in a closet around my parents home. So glad to see it featured here. :')
The constitution is remarkably vague about all manner of things. So, the argument that the "expansion of the government beyond what the Constitution allows" is really difficult to support on a textualist basis. What exactly did you have in mind?
You'd be right, except IIRC Comma hasn't gotten anyone killed because of (at best) misunderstood advertising (or seeing a barrier as a road, etc.).
Making promises is easy, delivering a sustainable profitable company is hard.
> I'd like to know why you think either one is (syntactically) required for programming

Taking the concept of interface, it would be difficult to program something with objects if you did not know the methods, properties, events. Just knowing the type name without any of the knowledge about the interface of the object would make programming close to impossible. The opposite however, knowing the methods and properties but not the type, is enough information to write a program.

In one python program I wrote I created a proxy object for a third-party library. The library only supported a single process, and I needed multiprocessing. The proxy object allowed me to take every call to the object from process B to be pickled and forwarded to process A, with the return value being sent back to B. No function needed to be made aware of the proxy object, the third-party library behaved just as it was a single process program and everything just worked. The proxy object did not need to have any information about the call signatures or method names of the third-party library objects.

It would be interesting to see such proxy object being written in a statically typed language that maintain the type checks when the proxy object get used inside a third-party library. Requirements would be that the proxy object should be independent implemented without being effect by the call signatures and method names in the third-party library. It sounds a bit fun trying to get the compiler to resolve what the type and signature should exist at compile time, through that might just be implementing a dynamic-like language through macros and compiler tricks.
There was reporting on how she intentionally changed her voice in public and one time got caught with her real voice. That to me validates her calculating predator-prey view.
Oh, I think you do. I'm not expressing any worry about my own protection, I'm asking if I can drive a race car down your street.
Could also fall under contempt if she intentionally did this under subpoena.

These low amounts are crazy.
> I believe it will disproportionately negatively impact poor and minority populations

Those populations are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves, and don't need you to do it for them. You have an opinion, don't dress it up in someone else's situation.

The current leading population for vaccination rate in Alabama is the band of majority black districts (and subsequently case numbers have gone down and down and down) there.

You know what those populations are at risk from? Crippling hospital debt from contracting preventable diseases being spread by people pushing antivax nonsense and who do not take preventative measures. And being shot at their jobs when asking those people to wear masks on private property, for some reason.
> The excess death statistics would like to have a word with you

Great point on the context switching. It made me think about how I've setup my keyboard and use my editor.

I always opt for a compact numpad-less keyboard with a trackpad right next to it. I like to have the trackpad as close to the keyboard as possible.

I'm a vim user, and what this means is that while I mostly use the keyboard, I can quickly switch over to the trackpad as an auxiliary input for certain movements.

I know the common refrain with vim is to learn how to do things without the mouse... and I certainly can do that pretty effectively. But after over 10 years of vim, I find that using a little bit of trackpad can actually save a lot of time.
