This [1] IU Compiler Course is excellent. Each week you compile a a successively larger subset of Racket to x86 assembly, gradually expanding the number and sophistication of your compiler passes. It's a great approach, far better than any other compiler courses I've been able to find online.

All necessary materials are available and high quality, including video lectures, book (be sure to get the current version) and software.

Mortality risk attributable to high and low ambient temperature
That’s pretty funny given 115 years ago the mayor of Boston went all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for mandatory vaccines.
I think the premise here is that there is some sort of physical limitation that causes cyanobacteria to have a maximum "carrying capacity" of oxygen, and stretching timecycles causes that threshold to be exceeded, leading to oxygen leaks.

Analogously, think of memory management in a computing context. You have a program running that gradually allocates memory linearly over a certain time period (daytime), but then releases all that memory linearly during another time period (nighttime). Say you're dealing with 4GB of memory and you run the memory-increasing part for 6 hours, then run the memory-decreasing part for the next 6 hours, and so on. Suppose you never allocate the full available 4GB when you're dealing with a 6 hour on/off timecycle (the rate of memory allocation is too low to get to 4GB in 6 hours) - but what happens if you extend the timecycle? There's some timecycle length at which you will finally attempt to allocate more memory than the 4GB your hardware is capable of, so the host OS starts swapping or writing stuff to disk to deal with the excess.

Biological systems don't have a "host OS" that regulates their molecular byproduct management though. Extra atoms/molecules are just going to escape into the surrounding environment. Perhaps the oxygen buildup during the daytime might have worked this way with the cyanobacteria - longer days led to more oxygen being produced than could be physically retained in the immediate vicinity of the cyanobacteria (some type of saturation effect), so all the oxygen in excess of the saturation threshold effectively "escaped" and became unavailable for metabolic "re-consumption" at nighttime. Thinking about the longer nights that accompany the longer days, there's probably a period of time in these longer nights during which all the "nearby" oxygen has been fully consumed, and the cyanobacteria more or less sit idle.

Oxygen saturation in the surrounding environment seems like the missing logical piece from this popsci article.

We don't like talking politics here on HN, but we can't hide from the truth: It's not an issue of respect or political polarization. It's the right-wing political movement which has an extreme ideology of reactionaryism. No matter what the issue or situation, they will be against it.

Talking more respectfully to them won't change it. It's not possible to talk to them, because most public communication is filtered through reactionary propaganda. For example, President Biden is generally respectful, but cannot reach them.

If we don't deal with this movement now, it will continue to grow stronger. Clearly there are no limits to it: Vaccination and masks to prevent a pandemic disease, attempts to overturn an election and seize power, etc.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? A virus doesn't just enter your body, and quietly go away. In MANY cases, it can have a lasting effect on your underlying health and wellness. This isn't a point of question, it's a known FACT that is all too often left out of the discussion entirely.

I am vaccinated. I have friends who are vaccinated, and have still gotten COVID. One of them still doesn't have their sense of taste and smell back, after nearly 3 weeks post symptoms. They describe being brain fog, and tiredness that they didn't have before, as well as an "itch" in their lungs when exercising that they didn't have before.

There's absolutely no reason to say things like "hysterical fixation on cases". Bringing cases down means LESS LIVES LOST and less HEALTH lost.

This assumes the differences are purposefully designed rather than out of ignorance of the past. I think you can create a unique game by looking at the historical time periods these games were made about and going from there. This is because most of these games actually start with something like DnD and go from there.

As a simple example of where this can lead you into historical inaccuricies... the long sword. Long swords are two handed swords. It's not a hill I'm gonna die on but the reason why people think long swords are 1 handed is completely because of DnD and everyone copying them.
> It always makes me cringe (at least a bit), when I see yet another application access a database with just a single set of (admin) user credentials. So much missed potential.

I wanted to use separate credentials, but the problem with app credentials which match userland credentials is that connection pools require that you use one single set of credentials. And they exist because opening a cnx to the db is slow, so it goes faster when you preopen 20 connections.

Git vs. GitHub; What's the Difference?
Thank you. I have appreciated your engagement.

Referring to unsettled science as "disinformation" seems premature. Is it not the case that we have some preliminary evidence that this may be the case? I've seen lots of criticism of the study that led to their updated guidance about this. Confounding variables, etc. But these are experts giving us their expert opinion. Surely it should at least be considered a possibility worthy of more study? Does referring to it as "disinformation" create a chilling effect around truth seeking?

Are there other studies, or a "preponderance of evidence", so to speak, that refutes their position? I'm not aware of any. Most often I hear people make "common sense" or "just so" arguments about vaccines in general and how they work. Nothing specific about the covid vaccines. The majority of which, at least in USA, utilize novel tech.
Yes they are, and within a few months, Google will continue fucking over the web. They are explicitly saying there will be breakage because "wah wah it's on the main thread".

Put unvaccinated people who catch covid last in line at hospitals. Problem solved.
I've never developed anything for Apple but I do thank you for that and hope the person having the problem can resolve things quickly.
Funny that this is almost word-for-word what climate denialists say.
If this were an existential threat to society maybe that would justify mandatory vaccination, but it’s not even close to that. Even the most badly battered countries have not only managed to survive, but found a way to cope with the pandemic.
Top become top-tier at stuff, it's almost inevitable that you'll need to sacrifice a lot. Self-made wealthy individuals usually transition to "do things for the fun of it" mode. Those two are almost always incompatible.

I was a top-tier math competition participant. I gave everything to it for a few years. That's gone, the willingness to sacrifice so much is gone.

Now I have a relationship to take care and my generous paycheck makes my only worry be if my plants are well watered.

On the other hard, "top-tier" might be subjective or useless depending on the hobby. Does someone really want to be considered among the top 10 baristas in the world, or do they just want to know more than all their friends about coffee? Is the goal to beat Eliud Kipchoge or just buy an expensive Iron Man jacket?
I see that you’re suffering from the common affliction of having a strong opinion about something you have no clue about: vaccines have not been approved for those younger than 12.

Now that your knowledge level has increased, will you please stop endangering others and take the vaccine?

Thanks!
The US seems to have a weird ideological opposition to the idea that recovered people have immunity from Covid, even though all the science indicates that they do. There's even weird articles in the press from time to time boggling at the fact that people don't care about getting vaccinated despite having caught Covid before, as though that somehow gave them more reason to think they needed a vaccine rather than less.
I wish they provided more information on what caused the fire since this happened last year. Remember there is at least 250 gasoline car fires a day in comparison

I agree it's yours until you sell. We are just debating semantics (does retiring with $14M mean retiring with $14M you can spend, or $14M minus taxes that you can spend).

Also, Capital gains is treated differently than ordinary income.

Your income tax bracket is irrelevant in determining your capital gains rate (at least for now).
And the immunocompromised, who can be vaccinated AND remain vulnerable afterwards.
Every major web browser has implemented a "do not show alerts from this site anymore" checkbox that appears after 2-3 consecutive alerts.

"Protecting the users" is an absolute lie.
we're seeing an increase in hospitalizations, which is straining capacity and putting doctors under pressure. if capacity is exceeded due to unvaccinated covid patients, what do you do? bar new covid admissions from the hospital and let them die on the street? keep existing triage order, where someone sick with heart failure or accident trauma might not be admitted because the ward's full of sicker, admitted, covid patients?

and before you say "kick the covid patients to the curb," morals aside do you really think that's politically feasible?
> I also do respect their rights to judge the information available for themselves without severely restricting their ability to live their lives.

Can you expand on how being required to dine outside instead of dining inside is a severe restriction on someone's ability to live their life?
If you think the syrup cartel is impressive - you should see the Dairy Farmers of Canada (also mostly based out of Quebec - most suffocating organizations up here in Canada end up being QC based).
In 1695 Edmond Halley predicted the return of his comet in 1758. That was one of the first astronomical experiments, but it was hardly the last.
Pretty much. Same with humans with a "leaky" blood-brain barrier. They can actually get GABA and other amino acids from the stomach to the brain, leading to vastly different effects than the majority of people get.
complete megalomaniac.
Are there plans to implement a distributed stream messaging system (e.g. Kafka, RMQ streams) embeddable in a supervision tree like Phoenix PubSub?

Way easier said than done I'm sure, but I know personally there are a lot of use cases for the distributed stream guarantees.
I mean, it was right there in the title: Miami Launches 'MiamiCoin' to Make Millions and Fund the Police. I wasn't saying they're doing this specifically for that case, but you know, they probably have a lot of ongoing and future litigation too.

Funding the police seems like it's turned into funding the military, and endless and ever-growing expenditure of what seems like a mayor's private political army.

> Side note: Why do we constantly cry about recommendations from the 1970s being different from today's recommendations?

Because hardly anything in nutrition "science" has proven to be predictive. It's all junk. Most of it intentional junk pushed by political and business interests.

For example, "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." is just nonsense based on junk "science" funded by vegan/vegetarian aligned interest groups. I'm guessing with major multinational corporations peddling veganism, we'll get more junk nutrition science.

Considering life expectancy, health and development has increased with more meat consumption. This is true of the countries with the highest life expectancy - japan, switzerland, spain, etc.

Since we are omnivores, perhaps we should eat a variety of everything in moderation.

> High vaccination rates will only exert selection pressure on the virus causing new mutation strains to become dominant.

> How is this not understood?

The same way vaccines create selection pressure, so does natural immunity. Letting people get infected instead of vaccinating them actually makes the dice roll much more, as in orders of magnitude more.

Just look how most of the variants of concern, and mainly delta, appeared before any significant vaccine rollout, and further, delta shows high rates of reinfection vs. infection of vaccinated people.

Only vaccinating those at-risk will keep this going and going for God knows how long, and regularly overcrowding hospitals with very corageous freedom fighters.

Just get your shot instead of playing armchair epidemiologist.

Who cares about front-page news wrong lol. Equifax was front-page news wrong, and there were 0 actual consequences for people in it.
I think Isaac Arthur has a good video on this on his YouTube channel.
I'm all for more data! 40 or 60 years sounds great.

Most vaccines take 10-15 years to develop, so that should probably be my target, but I'm willing to take on some extra risk.

The food pyramid was not arbitrary, it was the result of highly concentrated lobbying.

What is the plan for undocumented workers? Especially in restaurants. Even if they managed to get vaccinated by providing valid "proof of age" documentation[1], they will not appear in the registries. And if anyone was skeptical and thought that the state might be lying about not tracking identity and immigration status, surely that identity information would likely be false. This is a significant, and likely a majority, of back-of-house restaurant workers, but it also cuts across industries.

When enforcement comes knocking, are we going to give them a pass? How does one reconcile requiring it for clients who spend and an hour or two, but not for workers spending 15 hours on premises?

> What's the "pie"?

It's explained in my previous comment.
IMHO yes it would be a violation but WhatsApp would technically still be end to end encrypted.

Do all the data mining and pattern matching on the device then upload some blob of data whenever needed to better shape the advertising profile.

Like I said I am honestly surprised this is not what Facebook have been doing since the day they bought WhatsApp. I thought this was the reason they bought them. Sure the messages are all encrypted in the air and on their servers (theoretically anyway) but on the device is free rein and always has been.

I can see (at least) two potential issues doing this though.

First is obviously the resources of a phone vs the super clusters they have chugging away in Facebook data centers.

Second is it would mean their precious data mining algorithms would need to be built into the app and on the device. This may be a huge intellectual property concern for them as it wouldn't take long for people to extract that no matter how obfuscated they try to make it. Of course that also depends on if it is even possible to get it onto a phone in the first place in a useful way.
No, it is just a "show" process. The purpose is not to serve justice but to silence opposition.
I ditched my vim-like plugin when I realized I could ctrl-f, ctrl-enter to follow links in chrome.
The result will be 3) everyone will be infected with a vastly more contagious, possibly more deadly variant that is resistant to vaccine. Your scenario isn't an option. It's not "over" because it has run its course in a single wave.
If the ultimate goal is saving lives, how much of your daily life are you willing to sacrifice for public health? Willing to forego car ownership? End two day shipping speeds for non essential purchases?
I have literally never heard of a gasoline car fire, or at least not spontaneously in a garage (in response to an accident, sure). Source for 250 a day?
I think the point of the person you're replying to is to move the ambiguity onto the month object and off the plus operator. So today.plus(1 monthish) rather than today.plusish(1 month).
While it is true that the standard doesn't mandate it, any implementation worth its salt allows you to do tail calls. It's the same with threads; "if you want to write portable Lisp code" you can't expect threads in CL "in general" either. In practice, real-world CL implementations can do threads just fine.
> It’s not a small stretch to imagine expanding it to all grocery stores.

When Covid first broke everything shut down. That is, everything except grocery stores, which were open to all. So yes, I think it's a big stretch to imagine it expanding to grocery stores.
Construction fire code changes all the time. The ones around here specifically for attached garages have added more requirements within the last decade or so, for instance.
Do researchers even get taught about the difference between correlation and causation? People who eat large numbers of eggs probably also eat large amounts of bacon (compared to others), and bacon as a highly cured meat with high levels of salt and other toxic compounds, could easily explain the results. And then there is this:

Edit: Can't reply to the child since it's dead, but for the record, I got my covid vaccinations at an AME church (i.e., black) back in April.

Edit 2:

>Anecdotal evidence is always useful for bigotry. I went to an AME church (i.e., black) back in April and the church was denied vaccines.

No you didn't.

> The statistical facts are clear: POCs are much less likely to have access to vaccines, to be vaccinated, and to have IDs. Requiring ID is inherently racist.

What facts? You're just making up stuff.

This has nothing to do with voter ID or voter suppression. You're just trolling, poorly.
Higher salt levels raise blood pressure. High blood pressure leads the body to strengthen blood vessel walls, which make them less flexible. Less flexible blood vessels put more strain on the heart, which in cardiac patients (who are operating with a damaged heart) is obviously suboptimal.

There is a ton of studies about this and heart patient life expectancies have been going up for the last several decades because we have figured this (and a few other things) out.
I've heard surprisingly good things in general about working for shady organizations. Usually they treat you splendidly and go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your work. However, the techy dude who actually built the system that lets a bunch of folks rip off ATMs quite often ends up being the fall guy and losing all of their accumulated wealth. It is a gamble that can and usually does pay off but one where the expected gain is still much lower than just working in a legitimate field.
You said taxes for the different markets (such as luxury goods, Granary, and imports) all of the citizen shop at, and then you set separate real estate taxes for the patricians which are the wealthiest class in the society. And you can see the little dude walk around and get the taxes. The game really holds up, it's my fav =)
Change garages to suit a defective, dangerous piece of equipment? You've got to be kidding.
You forgot trees in the yard, how much sunlight the wall receives, moisture content of the soil beneath the brick walls, roots that are growing there, and existing structure.

You're correct. They are. That's why you can't put them out unless you drop the whole thing in a giant container of water.
I once heard someone remark that for CK3 it is better dial back the grand strategy component and dial up the role playing aspect. Not to try to optimize an awesome long-term winning strategy, but to make choices with each ruler along their personality traits.

This may cause you to crash and burn with your kingdom, but it's probably more akin to how humans (and rulers) actually operated.
