For the whole population, it's a bit over 60% so the "misinformation" you're referring to is approximately correct.
Awesome! Grats on the release. Debian is my favorite Linux distribution and my go-to whenever I need to provision a server.
This is IMHO a really good point. Somewhere in between App Groups, Share Extensions and custom URL schemes I really hoped at some point we would see a way to make this happen.

My wife is currently using Affinity and Adobe products to work on illustrations. It works mostly the same for her as on her Mac. She does not care about small, specialised tools, she wants one app that does everything she needs. The iPad is doing a great job running those apps.

I am not sure how many users (outside of the ones who got used to it) want UNIX-like flexibility vs "give me an app that does everything I need". If the later group keeps getting larger the walled garden approach to apps might actually work.

PHP releases once a year. They've been doing that for almost a decade now.
I don't think this is a honest philosophical question. First you need to define what you are talking about, specifically what you define as marriage and friendship if you're taking edge cases of being in a country without legal marriage protections and insinuating that friends are raising kids together. I think the other person's interpretation that you are trolling is more believable than your claim. This could change if you are able to articulate your argument (whatever that might be).

So, take my words with a grain of salt because i'm not a member of those communities. From reading the previous thread on HN (which i linked in my parent comment), even the people who think the sale is a good thing agree that it was a rather shady deal where it wasn't very clear that a single entity should feel entitled to "own" this IP range.

If you have links with more information going one way or another, historical internet politics is always something i have time for reading, and i think i'm not the only one around here! :)
>> Under certain conditions,[4] the matrices Ak converge to a triangular matrix, the Schur form of A.

> So am I to understand that for A positive semi-definite, the A_{k} converges to a diagonal matrix?

Yes. Each iteration of QR (and LR) turns a PSD matrix into another PSD matrix. A PSD matrix in Schur form is necessarily a diagonal matrix.

>> The basic QR algorithm can be visualized in the case where A is a positive-definite symmetric matrix.

> It sounds like you can visualize the iterates A_{k} no matter what. Is the problem that there isn't a fixed point when the ellipsoid is axis-aligned?

My visualization technique assumes that the matrix is PSD. In the PSD case, there is a one-to-one correspondence between ellipsoids and PSD matrices. I don't know what happens if you apply it to non-PSD matrices, but the one-to-one correspondence gets lost.
Microsoft's tablet strategy was literally to implement a touch first tablet UI in their desktop OS. Meanwhile loads of companies have been trying to merge desktop UI modes into phones since well before the iPhone. Check out Android desktop mode for a recent example. I remember loads of friends of mine for years telling me 'proper' desktop OSes in tablets would kill the iPad.
Hi!

I reset the domains for preact one to be macos-preact.vercel.app.

Humans are built to survive adversity. We got so good at it, we took over the planet. Now there's lots of humans who haven't ever faced serious challenges (by previous standards of everyday survival), and they need to feel the drama and triumph humans are programmed for even without the actual life threatening events that used to prompt those feelings.

So for many, there's always going to be an imminent apocalypse thats more interesting and urgent than any of their actual day to day problems.
>I would argue that Apple is creating systems so they can't become an arm of the dystopia.

For the life of me I can't see how catching child molesters is part of a dystopia.
I've been curious about the Delta Force for a while, and I am wondering if there's some sort of training available for civilians that could give you at least a glimpse of the preparation they go through. I'm sure there are many, but I've never heard anything particularly good about one in particular.

Any suggestions based on personal experience?

To be clear: main reason I'm interested in this is simply because it's the kind of preparation that could help you in case you find yourself in a very rare, but potentially lethal, situation (e.g. someone attacking you with a knife in a dead alley, or stuff like this - not the best example but you get the idea).
The website is terrible. It neither really tells me what the product does, nor do I know now for who it is. And the fact that it is patented is irrelevant for the end user and I also don't always associate patented products with great products.
The next thing OSes will do is use memory compression to go against this behavior.

Those are just different input paradigms that have evolved over time, one isn't inherently superior to the others. Cars have a much more difficult UX than kbd+mouse, touch, gamepad or (Wii-style) point-and-wiggle interfaces, yet the relative difficulty of driving a car for "technical" vs "non-technical" people rarely comes up in discussions.
> You aren’t even comparing the same situations.

We've gotten quite far from the original point; I'll reply once more but probably not again on this branch because we seem to have a fundamental disagreement over whether governments should have the right to mandate (either de-jour or de-facto) medical interventions on people in return for the ability to take part in society.

Governments can't mandate for every eventuality, they have to make policies covering broad areas. We're discussing public health policy here, i.e. the ways in which governments can reduce harmful effects on the health of the populace through rules and regulations. My point was that if governments truly cared about public health, they would have already for example banned smoking universally (or at least in situations where there is another person within X meters of the smoker), since second hand smoke is a demonstrable cause of premature death. The justification would be one of public health. And if anything, such a policy would be even less controversial than mandating vaccines because a smoker can simply stop smoking temporarily to be around other people whereas people cannot stop breathing and therefore potentially spreading viruses. Yet it seems governments have skipped over all of these easier public health issues, and gone straight to mandating that people get vaccinated to enter publicly funded places from a public health justification. To me, regardless of how effective or not these mandates have been and are, I smell bullshit when I hear governments justifying such rules with public health arguments because they have not from their previous actions demonstrated that they are merely following through with their public health manifesto. I rather fear they're mandating vaccines to enter public spaces because the public demanded something be done. Governments in representative democracies aren't doing their job if they do merely that which the public want; they are supposed to lead even if the majority of the public disagree.
Lol. It might have been true in the 1980s when Mathematica 1.0 came out (on version 12.3 now).

Now I think Mathematica is a combination of C, C++, Java, and of course Mathematica code. C and C/C++ libraries are used for the symbolic stuff and some libraries, Java is used for database connections and so forth, and I think they do eat their own dog food by implementing new functionality using existing Mathematica code. That's a little bit yucky, but no different than many ecosystems today. At least everything seems pretty seamless to me.
I'm not an early adopter for this kind of thing, but it's great to see progress all the same.

One hopes that ARM's ascendance would make "team x86-64" work in cooperative competition for better performance through compilers (it they can't through silicon).

I believe that Chaitin’s constant Ω could be approximated, possibly to the point where it could be "computed".

It's impossible to emulate a Turing machine, but you can emulate a Turing machine limited to N states. Make A runs of B random bits in said pseudo-Turing(N) machine, observe distribution of programs that halt, or exceed N. Increase A, B or N, and see if some obvious asymptotes arise as you chart the results.

Vaccine passport are enormously popular in Canada.

I couldn’t find Quebec specific data, but I live here and haven’t seen anything to suggest people view them differently.
Mandatory means different things to different people. A few may view mandatory in the holding people down light. Which I assume very few people would be in favor of outside of perhaps very limited situations.

But it's more common to view mandatory as something more along the lines of if you don't get vaccinated (barring medical exemptions) fine but a lot of places--perhaps including where you work--will be closed to you.
It's easy for someone who's not tax resident to pass a non-tax residency test? Isn't that a tautology? ;)

Your understanding of what is a family test isn't correct either. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend and you spend enough time together, you will be considered as "living as spouses or civil partners" and that would prevent you from passing the family test. The burden of proof would be on you to prove you that you're not that close to your partner to pass the test. And by the way, if your bf/gf owns or rent a place in the UK in which you spent a single night, HMRC would consider you have an accommodation in the UK.

There are solicitors who make a living solely on individual tax residency because it is way more complex than spending >183 days in the UK.
I never suspected a conspiracy. I suspected ideological bias and groupthink, neither of which requires any explicit conspiracy.
Unless the situation you want to prepare is in/exfiltration of 30+miles of unfriendly territory, stuff like judo/jujitsu/... will be more immediately useful in real life situations. Less badass though, granted.

No, the numbers I gave are the numbers for receiving the first dose.

OP did not say fully vaccinated but instead having been vaccinated. Are you not vaccinated once you have one dose? If not, what verb would you use after receiving your first dose?
Not everyone in the world is protected by the US Constitution and although Apple is initially only rolling this out in the US there is no doubt it will be rolled out in other countries sooner or later.

This is only true for both if there are no side effects to doing either of them. If there are side effects, and there are, then it is not that simple.

Berlin had the most memorable wall but the entire country was divided by a wall as well.

My mom's family abandoned their house and factory and fled to the west when the Russians took their property and punished them for being capitalists. Since the wall wasn't up yet they left through Berlin, which was like a porthole to the west at the time.
Me too. Well, still have three years to update before LTS runs out for Debian 10. The system probably won't survive that long anyways

ZeroTier has a flat address space governed by a single algorithm. The Internet is a loose hierarchy of independently-managed networks. These problems have quite different addressing requirements.

Analogy: ZeroTier is to https://plus.codes/ as IPv6 is to mailing addresses. A mailing address is pretty long, but you can use its structure to route the mail efficiently.
Let's hope the deleted comments mean the poster has grown as a human today.
What really needs support is political change. That might be on an individual candidate level, or on a meta level (e.g. voting against politicians who will gerrymander). Personally I don't think it's worth the energy trying to optimize one's individual consumer choices, at least to the extent that you can put that energy toward systemic change.
Fair enough.

I've seen Windows installations where one will work but the other won't.

DEC itself included another such tool for Windows 3 with Pathworks. Here's another:

http://www.accentcomposer.com/

My point being, it's a popular function and there are multiple implementations.

Sadly I don't know of a working one for macOS. I've seen claims and tried them but nothing that actually works.
This issue will also hit many mobile/embedded devices in the future where the kernel has to be flashed separately from the main installed system. (Debian does provide a flash-kernel workflow for this purpose.) The general solution is to use a separate bootloader (even Linux itself can be used as a bootloader via kexec), though this can involve a bit of wasted space.
> The more we learn about the way Apple actually implemented this technology, the less likely it seems that it would make it radically easier for those bad actors to do so.

Then why isn’t Apple pushing this angle?
You're being pedantic. "Vaccinated" as it's used, for example, by organizations requiring vaccinations is to have had both doses (in the case of the 2 dose vaccines) and wait the two weeks or whatever after the second dose. At that point, you're considered vaccinated and not before.
Interestingly, everything was fast for me. Say thanks to gigabit internet!
I didn’t read the book (probably should), but I worked with a few of them personally in my second OEF tour. Well, as well as you can if you weren’t in it with them. The thing is, they don’t talk. They call themselves “quiet professionals”. (We had some seals on the team too. They tend to be a bit more open.) When the deltas from Gothic Serpent told the story, it was extremely detailed and factual and emotionless, pretty much like all of our debriefs. (There is no book authorized from the deltas.) I remember at the end for lessons learned, the NCO focused on water management / preventing dehydration in disconnected combat operations, presumably because that was the one simple thing that could have increased effectiveness.
I meant the scenario where a Canadian resident but non-citizen wants to return to his country, but he's not vaccinated. Is the Canadian government going to prevent him from boarding a plane?

Not exactly a shortage, no. But giving away an entire range without giving ample time (think months/years) for network operators to comply is a bit harsh.

Thanks for the link to their grants. It's good to see they're doing something useful with the money and it's not a case of outright corruption. Although one could argue a club from one of the biggest colleges in the global north may have more suited avenues for funding, i'm glad to see smaller projects in there as well.

To be fair, if the goal was to raise money for the community, would it not have been wiser to rent the IP space, or to setup a proper charitable auction? The IPv4 addresses are bound to go up in value in the coming years, now that major RIRs have given away all the remaining blocks, so that might have brought more revenue.
In the military I met one Delta guy who was back in regiment. I had the opportunity to observe 3 or 4 for a few weeks. As a civilian I did training with ex-delta. My company XO who later went to ARSOF ran missions with them (or rather they were a component of his missions).

Anyone with personal experience will tell you they are not cowboys as they are often depicted. They are incredibly focused, quiet, hard working, and almost autistically detail oriented with their craft.

The level of “professionalism” required to operate at that level is simply impossible for most people to sustain.

I have never understood why people felt the need for all this desktop customization and setup. In a long career in tech I have never seen someone more productive than another because of how they configured their desktop. I am sure people might argue on here that they are infinitely better because of it, but I have never seen it.

An OS is a platform to run apps you need and manage resources of and on the machine. If it does that effectively and reliably without a fight, it does it’s job.

I use a Mac for the simple fact that in the last 13 years…I have had precisely 2 MacBooks and one of them was my daily machine that I used for 10 years. Battery swelled and I retired it. I could have probably replaced the battery and kept using it. My latest machine will likely last me another 3-5 years.
I use Debian on all my servers and love it.

I never managed to install it on the desktop though.

How do you install Debian on a desktop these days?

Usually, I downlod it, dd it onto a usb stick, boot from it and then Im stuck because it does not have my wifi drivers and I don't have a cable to connect my desktop to my router.
In my experience working IT at some public universities and some private education facilities there is a negative incentive for adopting IPV6. Often in these environments bandwidth use it up even on the LAN side and dual stack IPv6 simply causes unnecessary traffic that impacts negatively network performance. This was not the case in my experience 7-10 years ago.
In the US, anyone can buy the same health insurance from healthcare.gov. However, if you are not self employed, then you will have to pay with post tax dollars as opposed to pretax dollars.

Employers do pay a portion (usual 50% or more) of the health insurance premiums, but these days it is just another form of compensation, worth somewhere around $200 to $1,200 per family member per month (pretax).

Before ACA, it was true there were cases you simply could not get health insurance without an employer, as you could be denied for a multitude of reasons.

Just because i don't hold your religious beliefs in regards to private property doesn't mean we can't have a conversation. Of course, if the entire conversation revolves around the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of private property, we'll wander away from the topic that big tech multinationals are eating away the Internet commons.

TLDR

- Almost half of vaccine hesitant respondents reported fear of side effects and not trusting the COVID-19 vaccine;

- over one-third reported not trusting the government, not needing the vaccine, and waiting to see if safe.

Seems reasonable, I expect as time goes on the first group will get smaller. The group that doesn't trust the government, new forceful policies will dig them in further.
