No, but communities can set expectations, and then someone can choose to meet or buck the expectations of the community at their own risk.

A good example of this is the TodoMVC convention. Instead of making "whatever demo app you choose" a convention developed to make a Todo app, so that people could compare frameworks in a more "apples-to-apples" way. A new framework with a Todo demo would likely get more traction than a framework with a Calendar demo, because it's easier to evaluate and understand how it works.
I wonder if only geniuses can write "it doesn't take a genius" posts, because making truly hard things easier actually does take a genius.
> I really like Rust, but in my mind it's still relegated to the periphery of tasks that must be super fast (like C/C++, to your point) and/or low-level. Rust has made impressive strides at reducing the toil involved in compile-time memory management, but there is still a big productivity gap between the borrow checker and GC.

Even if it weren't for the performance I would use Rust over Go due to the lack of generics alone, as well as the associated general philosophy of Go that boilerplate is good and one should repeat oneself as much as possible.
Agree. Would be awesome for someone to open a replica nearby with close enough food served within.

How?
Presidents can use the power to declare war for political purposes, i.e. start a war after a scandal, or before an election, etc. They can also be bribed, just like the politicians in congress.

The constitution grants congress the power to declare war, congress being the representatives of the people of the states. It was never intended that a single person, the president, has the authority to launch an offensive war with another country.

I agree with you that the campaigns are financed in the U.S. amounts to legal bribery. Most other civilized countries outlaw or greatly curtail campaign donations from corporations, unions, and trade associations. Many also limit donations to offices you can vote on, subsidize donations with tax credits, limit the lengths of campaigns, and/or publicly fund political parties.

While I'd say anyone ruling out man made causes of these whales' deaths would be demonstrating severe cognitive dissonance, isn't it equally likely to be a disease or something not man made? Why does every bad thing that happens have to be caused by man? They could have a virus that jumped to them, something along those lines, just like out pandemic (which, I've heard, is not man made, and about the only problem plaguing this earth that people are adamantly sure isn't). There are literally millions of other species they interact with besides us, many of which could cause this.

Maybe do the science before we jump to conclusions?
If we had effective treatments and OTC therapies for this illness, the pressure to vaccinate against every resurgence and new mutation would basically disappear. With so much social difficulty with vaccines, this seems like the most likely long term path. Where's my cherry flavored Covidquil?
>Children (w/o vaccine) are dying of delta

The number of children who are dying of covid has been ridiculously low for a virus that spreads so easily. Hasn't covid deaths for children under the age of 12 been under 1000 since the pandemic started?

I doesn't matter why companies bet on 1password, the moment a significant amount of them do, they're going to be much more important customers than individual users and their needs are going to be prioritised.

I'll take a stab as a complete amateur.

Peano arithmetic is the basis for a lot of math. There are very basic assumptions underlying it, but using just those assumptions you can make the natural numbers and perform math on them.

This was a bold attempt to prove that they are not consistent. That is, you can use the base peano axioms to prove 1 = 0 and anything else you want.

Terry Tao pointed out a mistake the author made, and thus 'saved' mathematics. Peano arithmetic remains consistent.
"You are quite right, and my original response was wrong. I withdraw my claim"

For homework, everyone on HN who posts should try saying this at least once this month, because you will be wrong at least once. I know I will.
Zero Size optimisations are a thing in Rust too though, and I don't think an empty struct being zero size is any more surprising than Rust's empty tuple being zero size.

Like, if you tell Rust you want 4 million empty tuples in a vector, it will give you a vector with exactly 4 million empty tuples in it and no heap allocation because those empty tuples don't take space, so, 4 million of them also doesn't take up any space.

I think the parent was talking about the lack of vaccinations yielding more time to mutate, not the vaccinations themselves. Viruses aren't like bacteria; they don't mutate in direct response to vaccines.
Long COVID and the unknowns around that are why my wife and me have become very careful again despite having received both shots. It's good that the vaccine apparently means that less people will die, but avoiding to live with, for example, brain fog for an unknown (possibly lifelong) amount of time seems worth the precautions.

Fun thing, is Rust employs the same trick. The HashSet<T> is an alias for HashMap<T, ()>. "()" is the unit type. Which is zero-sized.

Because Rust has generics, it is more ergonomic though.

This was amazing thanks.
But neither has there been a lot of resistance; most places surrendered without a fight, from what I can tell. That suggests that the Taliban, for good or ill, have more legitimacy in the eyes of Afghanis, than the government we created and supported for the last 20 years. But, Afghanistan has changed, and who really knows what is going to happen. Cell phones are ubiquitous. They hardly existed in 2001. A whole generation of Afghani women are now educated. We'll just have to see. And the Taliban may just have to figure out how to swim with the sharks of that region, Pakistan, Iran, Russia, China.

Cause? Saying "it is very possible, even likely, that human activity caused this, but as of right now we just don't know, so let's not jump to conclusions and do the science first" requires some shady motive now. Refusal to blame yourself with literally 0 evidence is itself evidence that someone is an oil company shill or something.
cannot do this or offer this feature to users without an Extension. or is there is a way? as far as i know there is no other WAY
That is correct. My premise was that the more virus exists in absolute numbers (if the vaccine is weaker for the Delta variant), the more virus has the opportunity to mutate.

The likelihood of mutation is directly proportional to how widespread a virus is multiplied by the amount of time it stays that way (more specifically, the area under the curve for infections over time). Vaccination and control of spread is critical to preventing further variants
What you've heard is misinformation. Vaccines reduce potential for mutation, which is both intuitive and borne out by data.

Every human that ever lives will die someday. A good life involves a prudent balancing of risks and costs. Nobody alive can ever be 100% safe before or after the advent of covid. Covid maybe a good thing if it forces mature adults to deal with their inevitable mortality like mature adults. Instead we have been seeing pervasive infantilisation of society. Safety has a cost. The world is not black and white. Disclaimer: the above is my opinion. Not flaming.
Remember that it used to be that casualties, being deaths and injuries, used to be about 1:1. Since body armor and the like the amount of injured is 10x the deaths, and conveniently accounting of casualties by the government in media changed to deaths to make casualties seem much lighter than they were.
For those new to 0 A.D., it's been in development for years and just released a new version (Alpha 25) last week.

Alpha is an understatement IMO as this game has great cross-platform support, a multi-player lobby, pretty balanced gameplay and amazing graphics, plus a ton of other features too numerous to mention.

There's also a huge scripting component in JavaScript, so it's pretty easy for most devs to contribute maps and make gameplay PRs.

There was also a long delay between v23 and v24, but now the team seems back on track and committed to a 6 month release cycle.

RSS, which stands for either RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, is an open content syndication protocol.

I've never heard of the former usage. Is that some modern re-arrangement of the acronym?

I've always heard the usage "Really Simple Syndication".

This was a horrific read and honestly, I fail to see what possible side effects could be worse than having to go through some of this. My heart bleeds for the poor staff dealing with this and to a lesser extent, the unvaccinated patients. What questions can they still have about the vaccine?

Be unvaccinated by all means, but look after yourself, stay away from people and wear a mask!
The modus operandi of China is employment for their people. In almost every country they've lent money for infrastructure, they've brought in their own construction people.
> That suggests that the Taliban, for good or ill, have more legitimacy in the eyes of Afghanis,

No, I would say that the Afghanis were literally told that they were going to eventually lose the war and that the Taliban would eventually win. The people put in the position to fight the Taliban made the sensible choice to lose peacefully, as opposed to risking their lives for a lost cause.

Don't fall into the trap of credentialism. While the author may not be known outside of the Bitcoin world, he points to a whole slew of public social media posts that clearly show the Taliban usiing a service run by a large American tech company to do all sorts of things that would get most American users banned.

Any decent journalism outfit should at least dig into that a little bit - perhaps reach out to Facebook and ask if they had noticed any of this. After all, this was the same company that didn't see anything unusual about American political ads being purchased in Rubles back in 2016.
I know that we have a tendency on this site to oversimplify things, but if you read the list of things you have to do to demonstrate residency elsewhere, it really is quite simple. If you actually live elsewhere like a normal person and are only back in California occasionally for vacation, you're at little risk of being audited and even less risk of being assessed taxes. The problem comes in when you try to have your cake and eat it. For example, you might run into trouble if you're trying to work and live in Cali five months and thirty days a year without paying California taxes.

I know for me, as a relatively high income individual, the FTB did not even make a peep about our residency change. They didn't even ask for any documentation, to the best of my recollection.
This is absolutely wrong.

A vaccine is a fraction of the cost of treatment, and it has no long-term side effects. Even better, a vaccine reduces the chance for a virus to mutate.

Treatments, even if they work, are going to have side effects, and there are still unknown risks from a severe (unvaccinated) infection anyway.

Vaccines are a miracle of proactivity, and there's no reason to try to replace them with something expensive, risky, and reactive.
What’s New in Grafana v8.1
Basically you can't claim to have left California if you (even inadvertently) still have significant legal ties to the state. And probably not at all if you spend 9 months a year there.

If you move, deliberately cut all official ties like license, voting registration, storage units, etc.

All of which makes sense: if you're moving these are things you should do anyway. It's likely that California is probably much more strict in chasing down these details because its high tax rate makes it attractive to have a legal residence in one state while mostly still operating out of CA.
The key difference being knowledge: I don't have to know `HashSet` is really just a map with a ZST to use it efficiently. All I need to know is that I don't need a value, and the ecosystem obliges me. This in contrast to Go, where I need to know that `struct{}` is a ZST, that the "right" way to do a set is to use it as the map value, &c.
I think this is the fundamental fallacy in this whole situation. "Taliban" and "Afghans" are not two separate groups.
Hi, I'm one of the people who worked on it, and the guy who did the initial estimate back in early 2017. 5% is the geomean of a lot of benchmarks; a whole lot fall in the the 4-8% range, a few do worse because the new ABI creates new patterns of register use that don't fit well with the current register allocator, and the fix was larger than we wanted to risk.

The insane thing here: the _financial_ cost of the war in afghanistan, which lasted deacdes and involved hundreds of thousands of people, and logistical operations spanning the globe, is less than the amount of money we printed in 2020.

Reading a paper book will help you remember too.

It's easier to remember when you can point and reference a physical point in the book. Kindle's and such are more like reading one long page which does not give you the advantage of pointing to a place in the book.
I have several neighbors who have fled California (smart bastards), and they knew to make it a very clean break. First get an apartment in another state; move bank accounts to new "state" bank in new state; get a new driver's license in that state; ensure employment address and all "official" addresses are changed, along with any and all other correspondence that's possible; sell house and/or car -- leave, leave, leave. Any reason they can find to make any association to the state, they will; and, like TFA says, the burden is on YOU to prove you DON'T live here.

The vast majority of Americans wanted out of Afghanistan. That isn't the issue. The issue is with the way it was done.
Wow jeez when you put it that simply of course they’ll just pay local warlords who totally won’t steal money for fake employees, and they’ll totally have these Afghan people who are hard working and really eager for that 9-5 lifestyle to get out of their own village to “mine” for Chinese engineers and managers.

I hate to be flippant here but this really shows a continued western misunderstanding of how people in places like Afghanistan live.

And even if they did all of that, what good is it exactly? Is China out of resources in China and now will build mountain passes and teach Afghanis how to drive trucks and all of that to mine resources? Sure sounds like nation building to me.

And why would the Taliban agree to this anyway? They could just do the mining themselves.
Agree with this broadly, but also CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) standards in the US mean that it likely was not possible for Ford to eliminate sedans before CUV fuel economy increased to a comparable point.

(I work at Ford, but in a role that doesn’t give me insight into internal vehicle program strategy.)
The problem is the US would first need to grow the political will to ban most businesses from demanding and then long term storing that ID. As it stands right now, for needlessly invasive things like supermarket discount cards you can just give them a bunch of fake info, and get a new nym every year or so to make your history less useful. But with an unrestricted smartcard ID, there would be no escape from the commercial surveillance web. Something like the GDPR is a hard requirement before stronger identification is palatable in the US.

I agree with both you and the GP, and also see immigration as moving the hard problems from one field to another.

To solve the economic issue of maintaining growth, the US/EU moved to the issue of how to maintain a peaceful but diverse and divergent society.

I see Japan's partial bailing on immigration as a sign they don't see any good way to get through it, and we can see a lot of today's US internal fight as the result of not paying enough attention to how hard it is to adapt a society to the new challenges.

I wonder if there would be third ways, with economic powerhouse moving their "growth" to other countries without a stigma of stagnation or exploitation.
What (and when) were the last three wars where America "won" , meaning fulfill honest objectives in spirit.

E.g. Iraq-2003 doesn't count because (1) , objecties weren't honest, you cannot destroy wmd's that didn't exist and (2) the spirit was acclaimed to be elimination of terrorism and it's well known that not only has the situation deteriorated, America funded al Qaeda in that region.
