If we establish:
1. non-vaccinated group does not affect the vaccinated group, which can be deducted from studies including most recent Oxford study highlighting that vaccinated group gets infected with Delta variant equally as non-vaccinated group and it spreads the virus the same (as Oxford study confirmed same concentration of the virus in the nose).
2. vaccines do offer temporary immunity which offers only individual protection, so per above no effect it should be personal choice. This does come with risks (increasingly documented and arguably some decide to take vaccine some don't, where one research tells that PhD's are group with the lowest vaccination rate - that should tell something,..).

Then there is no justification for forcing/discriminating/pressuring anyone.

Additionally, masks unless K95 or better, are closer to a "theater" than what little if any virus they can stop. (google cloth or fashion masks or even how to properly fit K95 otherwise it does not work)

In the meantime, we all should hope that science finds full solution that will stop the virus, as up until now all current vaccines are not the "canceling" type and until then COVID19 will go on (guaranteed as explained by Geert Vanden Bossche).

So, I warmly suggest all to "punch-up", calm down, get rational and appreciate each other, stop acting one group against other then all can start to focus on the pushing companies and scientific circles to open and constructive path, which is Canceling Vaccine or effective therapeutics. Anything else is punching-down (in any form of shape such as group think, which should not be our level of humanity - we can do much better)! Therefore, there is no reason for us humans to start getting down the evolution (toward animals and lower level belief/group think), just simply respect each-other. Hope we do not start down the path of one group discriminating against other group (remember history).
You're dreadfully misinformed, sir/madame. Being vaccinated absolutely has an impact on transmissibility.

Not at all, but that doesn't mean everyone who disagrees is discussing the matter in a civil manner.

I've only posted to bring attention to a flaw in your logic, as well as to comment on the emotionally hostile manner in which you've been replying.

Just take a step back and calm down; people don't seem to agree with your positions and you're taking it as a personal attack. Engage with people in good faith and discussions will be more fruitful and less emotionally taxing.
> Dislike for cgo, is similar to the old JNI displeasure, nowadays plenty of Java libraries don't have any issues making use of JNI.

Issue’s cgo doesn’t just make the build more complex and more expensive (and yeets cross-compilation), it also makes programming way more difficult as go tooling doesn’t understand C and C tooling has no clue about Go (because non-standard calling conventions and insular tooling community and everything), and for all that cost you get little because the go/c call overhead is stupendous (still, though smaller than it used to be), and of course it locks up the scheduler (after a slice of the goroutine being blocked the go runtime will create a new one, but still…).
It’s frustrating that companies have so many people with job descriptions that include maximizing these “engagement” statistics that abusing and disrespecting users is done without a second thought.
I can answer for Berlin:

1. Depends on where. In busy areas it happens a lot. You just have to be careful when there are people around.

2. The bike lanes have their own traffic lights, which are on the same cycle as the cross walks to the right of them, and the main road/lights to the left.

3. It's obvious since these bike lanes are everywhere; it's just apart of driving. I will say it's a little worse in the West of the city though!
In France we also have two "police" forces: the "gendarmerie" and the "police nationale".

You may know "gendarmerie" from the Louis de Funes movies (Le gendarme de St Tropez, ...) - this is a military unit that mostly works in the countryside.

The "police nationale" is an entity attached to the ministry of interior and does more or less the same things, but more in the cities.

There is a history of hatred between these organizations - yes, this is how stupid we are. They share competencies (the most well known being the elite units - GIGN and RAID)

When you want to call the police, you dial 17 and you get the right one, depending on where you are.

If you have a health problem, you call the 18 (firemen), or the 15 (ambulance).

If there is a fire, you call the 18.

This is why having a single 112 number is easier to teach to children and tourists.
Evolution is rarely so tidy in its convergence. Humans have vestigial organs and crazy anatomical features left over from our ancestors. In light of that it would be a rather stunning coincidence to find that when it comes to aging across species (!) that organisms seem to have all their systems age at the same rate simply by individual evolution of each of those systems or that all the systems are effectively immortal with nothing in-between.

Without a coherent theory of senescence this is all conjecture, but there's compelling evidence that there's some set of hidden variables we aren't seeing that is "pulling the strings" when it comes to aging.
It is widely suggested that resume should be as metric oriented as possible so I wouldn't think anything bad about the stars. It is similar as to "I built X to increase Y by Z.". It does show impact.

Definitely wouldn't throw a resume out for something like this even if it for some reason is a pet peeve for you.

However I agree that cool things like the military sniper thing should stay.

This is NOT true. First of all, you're limiting your analysis to just the US. For the world as a whole, wages have grown more over the last 30 years than in any other period in human history:

The way the article states the rear passenger's claim is wrong. They say, "No, it was mine. I had it first, for my laptop".

From the perspective of the rear passenger, the claim is, "This space, this approximate vertical rectangular volume that I occupy with my body and seat, is my space." When the person in front reclines back into that space, they are now taking something away from me.

And I'm sorry, but the front passenger has no valid claim. They are either stupid/simple minded, as the woman clearly was, by beliving that they bought the button which gives them (magically? at no harm to anyone else?) extra space to recline into.

Let's be frank about it. If you use that button to recline back into someone else's face (because that's about how close it gets these days), then you are an asshole unless you ask them first if they mind... or unless you check first and see they are either reclining themselves or are at least asleep.
I think .xyz is specifically blacklisted because the domains are often less than $2 to register so they attract a lot of riff-raff

ahh typo-squatting... it creates so many interesting stories.. I have a few products related to domain names [1][2] and in the past I knew some users who owned "none.com.au" (which is a typo for nine.com.au - one of Australia's TV channels) and "gail.com.au" (similar to gail, but with .com.au) - which all attracted pretty decent traffic without any effort. They had some pages with Google AdSense going.

I also knew this user, who had the same domain name as one of the more popular YouTube video downloading tool, but with ".net". He put up an adsense that attracted 8k clicks per day.

Internet is filled with these fascinating stories.

I became immune too, as a kid I decided to "make peace" with mosquitos. I stopped caring so much about being bitten, and soon after stopped getting bumps and itchiness. I guess this happened just because I was bitten enough to adapt, but I still wonder if there was some psychological interplay.

The real blocking point is the internship in the 5th year. There is not enough physician to train our intern at public hospital. So with the end of the numerus closus and some new decision about internship, you can now have 2 interns per surgeons, effectively trading formation quality and old physicians sanity for numbers.
Yes, this is an event we have once a year. The number of seats is limited but we usually hover at 30-40 people (it is held after work hours, we are dependent on the start time, which is the same for everyone in the country)

While the described window is not a hologram per se and I think the hologram-like effect can easily break for other images (i.e. it can not reliably represent depth), it should be noted that it has a certain relation to holograms. Holograms modify plane wave in a way which reproduces wavefront from a recorded scene. Usually it's done by capturing interference pattern, but alternatively hologram can introduce phase shifts by varying thickness (ideally it's worth to use both phase shift and absorption). I think it should be possible to create hologram with the same setup by changing optimization function. Although I am not sure if you will be able to perform precise enough carving with your setup for reproducing complex enough scenes. Try to start with representing several dots at different distance from hologram plane each radiating radial wave. Thinking about diverging lens as of hologram representing one such point should help with intuition.

It's surprising because I also do competitive programming, and I know many people who do it, and I haven't encountered anyone in those circles memorizing algorithms. In fact, many competitions explicitly allow you to use a pre-written library. Some IRL competitions even allow you to bring in written materials. (Not all competitions allow this, I know.)

Ammonia is super toxic - even a controlled descent that lands near people could be terrifyingly dangerous. It's an awesome refrigerant, for example, but is considered too dangerous for general/ non-industrial use. Even in a remote location, you could kill lots of plants and wildlife. Given Alaska's notorious cold winters, you'd need to engineer a heating system- it liquifies at 30 below, which you'd encounter frequently even at low altitude.
I would imagine that it's more because the utilization of AVX-512 is low. I'm sure there are lots of applications that make use of it, but many of the instructions are bizarre and are maybe useful to just a handful of people.

Weigh that against the cost of design and manufacturing, it's not hard to imagine they're finding out it's not worth it.

This is just speculation though.
Just because you are allowed to do something doesn't mean you should, or that it's your right to do if it infringes upon someone else's rights.

Have you ever flow coach class overseas, and you want to sit upright, but the person in front of you decides to recline fully? The in-flight entertainment screen on the seat is now only about 8 inches in front of your face. Hell, if you have food and drink on your tray table, some of that is being pushed toward you by the now-angled back of the seat. Fuck you if you do that and don't care about the person behind you.

> An essential part of a physics education is struggling over extremely hard problem sets

Indeed; this is where brilliant.org makes its sales pitch. And, thankfully, when its physics courses went beyond my level of mathematics, it also has a mathematics course which I’m hoping will get me up to the right level.
That's a ridiculous conclusion to come to. The seat stands upright for takeoff and landing, but at any other time is available for reclining within a particular angle.

The flight attendants even make it a point to let everyone know to put their seat in the upright position, which implies common usage.

If the space has become more cramped for the rear passenger, they are welcome to recline and reclaim that same space.

Some people (myself included) deal with back and neck issues where sitting up straight is strenuous and causes pain over time, not to mention further encourages poor posture.

For my work, I connect to the office PC via Citrix. Benefits:

- My office PC is much more powerful than my laptop and I don't need to deal with its maintenance

- I can switch between work and office with couple of clicks

- No chances of accidental overlap as I don't see one while using the other (I run full screen); provides mental separation too

- I don't need to put Windows on my personal machine (I run Linux)

- No work stuff getting into personal machine or vice versa so I don't need to do workarounds such as the .gitconfig setup mentioned in the article

The only problem I have observed is that Citrix on Linux seems to have issues exposing the external webcam as an available device when I join a meeting from within the Citrix session (for which we use Citrix (!) WebEx no less!). Cheese on Linux can handle the webcam perfectly fine. When I absolutely must enable Video, I just connect to the meeting directly from my laptop (which is a rare requirement in my case). But this problem could be a show-stopper for those who use video regularly and connect from Linux (my colleagues who use Windows say it works fine for them).
Our company is the owner of kamer.nl (kamer=room/chamber) and our government in the Netherlands has a first and second chamber (eerstekamer and tweedekamer) as a parallel to Congress/House of Commons.

We're getting a lot of emails (due to a catch-all) because politicians type foo@tweede.kamer.nl, foo@eerste.kamer.nl or just plain foo@kamer.nl instead the correct foo@tweedekamer.nl or foo@eerstekamer.nl.

It does sometimes contain some privacy-sensitive information and we always reply and point them to the mistake. We do this because hopefully they learn (most do...) and they can get the information to the right person.

One could see an exceptionally high tax rate on the wealthy (e.g, the powerful) providing a lot more pressure to end the war more quickly. The flip side is that a ton of spending on war increases wealth for everyone who owns businesses supplying the war.

If it’s true that money motivates rich people to lobby for the option which makes them richer, maybe a high tax rate for war could balance the incentive of profiting from war. Of course, that would never happen in this scenario, because the rich would lobby against it, but it’s still interesting to think about how to incentivize us to stop going to war.

One thing that helps OCaml here is that it requires definitions to precede usage (like C/C++). Go and most other languages don't have this requirement. Perhaps, this results in faster symbol table lookups. Moreover, OCaml boxes everything and doesn't produce monomorphized code for generic types. OCaml's code generation is also much simpler than the likes of LLVM or GCC.
> You do not own an Apple device that you buy.

There's no way to avoid the Apple. It's become the Berlin Wall of computing. No admittance, no escape, secret police, protection racket.

Companies with apps don't have customers. They're unnaturally fenced off, cajoled, and taxed. Apple laughably claims privacy.

Meanwhile device owners can't repair their phones or expect not to be spied on. When they aren't paying $500 for RAM, they're letting Apple define what activities are permissible.

The damn thing doesn't even have a web browser that isn't safari. The Apple is so afraid of runtimes threatening the app store distribution model.

You are aware that you can recline your seat back too and reclaim the exact same amount of space the front person "took" from you, right?

Look - the simple matter of it is that this person paid for a seat on a plane. It comes with a reclining function. Some opt to use it, some don't. Simple as that.

There is no need to get vulgar or mad at a basic function of a reclining seat - reclining.
> My source for this comment is the Linux Device Drivers Development book from about 2004 still being the primary
source of information on linux development

The kernel has never had any official development guide or book. Various tutorials and howtos and books come and go along the way. Another good one,

https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/pdf/understand.pdf

They don't really scale at all. The device driver book scratched the surface of device drivers even back then. You can still read things like that and get an idea of the concepts which remain pretty similar, but the best way to really learn it beyond hello world stuff is getting into the code. If you want to write a device driver, start with a copy of a different driver of the same class which is well maintained, for example.

> and when asked about an updated version the response was something like "Back when it was written we needed more developers on linux but not anymore".

Not sure of the "we", but Linux kernel developers are in pretty decent demand today and the number of paid contributors seems to be pretty well growing. Certainly a lot since 2004.

> As well as the comment from linus which I can't find anymore where he says other OSS projects need help more than linux.

Yes that has long been true.

I'm not saying you're simply wrong, and I'm sure some people would find great benefit in more or more up to date books on it, but there has been no point where developers just decided that's enough of making Linux more friendly to newbies or have an easier learning curve. Nor has there ever been a great deal of effort to make it easier for newbies mind you. But as I said, people are always trying to clean things up and improve docs and add more seat belts trying to do staging and mentoring and things etc.... but it's just a difficult thing to improve.

My source is only my anecdote of contributing to Linux for ~20 years, so I admit I could well be biased or blind to some of these issues.
No, what matters is user experience & user satisfaction. That is why this frontend churn is useless because it doesn’t improve either.

Yep. It costs somewhere on the order of $100 million to $1 billion a week to keep Sydney or Melbourne in lockdown. The costs thus far have vastly exceeded the estimated cost of ordering mRNA vaccine doses for every adult in the country ($780m[0]) or building federal quarantine facilities that don't leak cases (around $200m for a 500 bed facility[1]).
