This is kind of the "organize your file structure versus throw everything in a single directory and rely on full text search" argument from the old days when everything important was saved in a file.

I think if most of what you're organizing is just queued things to do-- videos to watch, articles to read-- your problem isn't organizing those, it's throughput (focus).
Every time I try and use this I have to look up the syntax. It does deliver stunning graphics when used right though.
You're getting down voted because you're falling into a statistical fallacy. For example, If 100% of the population was vaccinated, by definition 100% of those in the hospital would be vaccinated. That gives you no information on the effectiveness of the vaccine itself.

>the rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people over age 60 (178.7 per 100,000) was nine times more than the rate among fully vaccinated people of the same age category, and the rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people in the under-60 crowd (3.2 per 100,000) was a little more than double the rate among vaccinated people in that age bracket.

I think we should give these guys a chance. Maybe their communication needs a little work but to the people saying it's time shares in a different coat, we just don't know that for sure. Although I'm not saying your concerns are unfounded either.

As someone whose weight has been all over the place in my life, I really appreciate hearing this. I've known it is true forever, but it is rare to hear other people saying it. There is much more to weight than calories in/out. Some people can skip a meal without noticing, others count the minutes until the next meal.
I always flip it on its head. For some reason it is easy for people to understand that certain people would have trouble gaining 20 pounds, others could do it in a month easily. But when you talk about losing 20 pounds, people start talking about willpower.

I like this post—or at least the way it starts out—subject to some important constraints.

> I think it’s worthwhile to lay out an alternative, which is my default: just use GitHub issues for everything.

Insofar as this article is an argument against using Trello etc instead of bug trackers, it's a great article. But insofar as it is really, actually suggesting you use GitHub issues, its value is thin. My rationale is closely related to my stance on Lawrence Kesteloot's essay Java for Everything:

<https://www.teamten.com/lawrence/writings/java-for-everythin...>

This is one of my favorite blog posts of all time—and yet, I don't actually use Java, and I don't exactly think that you should, either. Funnily enough, it has a lot to do with why you shouldn't literally use GitHub issues.

The worst part about Java is actually dealing with the kinds of things that Java programmers do and the general experience of dealing with the Java ecosystem.

Likewise, the worst part about using issues on GitHub is the GitHub community. (The first example cited is a good example of this: "The company internal blog was an issue-only repository. Blog posts were issues, you’d comment on them with comments on issues." This is awful.)

Bug isolation, bug triage, and (most importantly) discipline in your approach to coming up with a fix for a given bug are all excellent skills that can be applied to many things to great effect, but you wouldn't know it looking at the way people use GitHub. It's still far from a norm for people to even provide steps to reproduce a given bug, not to mention the wanton abuse of comments. The example given ironically demonstrates why GitHub issues is _not_ the place that you should be taking cues from.

I especially find the claim that "GitHub issues make it harder for you to procrastinate and pretend" to be pretty comical. GitHub overall seems to favor people doing things that make them look busy (including actually being busy, if only, though, because of how inefficient GitHub's traditional workflows are) at the expense of actually doing things well.
I would like to point out the obvious fact, which is newline characters. Even if those empty lines were empty, they still had \n's , maybe \r's too.
in principle you shouldn’t be downvoted if you’re adding to the conversation, and whilst i don’t agree with your overall thesis, i think you have a valid concern.

the OP’s statistics line up with the assertion that vaccines are certainly effective. if they weren’t, we’d expect to see similar proportions of vaccinated peoples hospitalised with covid.

certainly, the vaccines have lost some of their efficacy. it can probably be attributed to “slow” rollout, and - probably more significantly - vaccine hesitancy/denial. israel’s high rollout percentage is relatively meaningless in the global context, unfortunately. the virus has more chances to interact with vaccinated individuals. in a similar fashion to not finishing antibiotics, it was inevitable that the virus would mutate to overcome the existing vaccines at some level.

at this point, our only hope is that vaccines will at least make the virus less lethal. it’s not the ideal outcome, but given everything that’s happened thus far, i think it’s the best we can hope for.

Apologies for the bit of contribution myself, not really my intention ^^
this sounds amazing for hackathons!
It's often really tough to make the call on whether someone is genuinely asking and when they're seeding doubt (people going back and forth on a topic makes something seem under debate) or even plain trolling and trying to waste other's time (since it's so much quicker to ask the question than to adequately answer it). This particular case is a pretty plain question, I'm more speaking of the general case.

What might also be worth to realize that the illusory truth effect is a thing, i.e. "the tendency to believe false information to be correct after repeated exposure." "[A 2015] study suggested that the truth effect can influence participants who actually knew the correct answer to begin with, but who were swayed to believe otherwise through the repetition of a falsehood." (From Wikipedia.) I can understand why one might choose to downvote such a "genuine" question when it's easy to find that the answer is "no" (it's mentioned on the COVID-19 misinformation Wikipedia page).

Not a dependency in the sense that nobody is going to ship PostgreSQL with their 20MB mobile app. SQLite is absolutely ubiquitous in mobile and desktop software. It also works well as a file format, you can download a DB full of data from the internet or a git repo.

It's designed to be embedded into software and used to replace raw files. That's why the database is a single file, which is something that is a feature in every situation except if you have a server doing many concurrent writes.

The only reason that SQLite even works as a stand-in for an RDBMS is because they did such a good job implementing the SQL standard.
Here's a very quick summary of what I linked above: In Israel it would be easy to look at the data and conclude that vaccines are providing ~67% efficacy against severe disease/death.

But, once the data is broken down into buckets that help address confounding variables (i.e. different vaccination rates among different age groups), things look very different. All of a sudden efficacy numbers are looking better than 90% for a lot of people.

This will similarly matter a great deal as people try to figure out how long vaccines provide protection. The groups that got vaccinated the earliest in many places were older people and health care workers -- groups which start out at higher risk, and also have a higher probability of less effective immune response to vaccines (older people).

As a result of that, it will be easy for analysts that don't consider that issue to under-estimate the effective time period of vaccines.

The archive.is link you provided isn't working for me at the moment, but to address your statement in the context of the above framework:

The group of people most likely to have been infected with the virus are not the same as the group of people most likely to have antibodies as a result of immunization. In many places, there are a lot more younger people who have gotten infected with the disease than older people. There are other socioeconomic and behavioural differences too.

Given that young people tend to have a more effective immune responses to begin with, and given that they have been shown to have better outcomes after being infected with this virus, it's easy to see a way to incorrectly conclude that stronger immunity results from infection-acquired antibodies, even if the opposite may be true.

In short: Apparent differences may be better explained by the fact that it's a different group of people who have been infected vs those who have not been infected.
Used this all the time for graph theory papers in college. Works astoundingly well for that use case, highly recommend.

Beware though, if you include too many graphs in a paper it will take longer than Overleaf's free compilation time limit, so consider compiling locally.
+1 to both. "Store things in a schema that reflects the origin" is schema-on-write, just a very particular kind of it.
That is true but if you’re using libx264/libx265 you’re not using hardware encode/decode blocks that include the patent license so MPEG-LA is back in the picture.
As someone who has recently bought into the Apple ecosystem... this is all so disappointing.

Not because I thought Apple were heroes and protecting my privacy, but because:

- I enjoy the macOS user experience.

Hosting your files is a perfectly separable service. It should be offered separately from your phone hardware, OS, app market, etc. Separately as in "not subsidized from the device sales or ad revenue". Separately as in "with the related costs directly charged to the customers, or to some channel that does not depend on the current market share".

This would make it extremely easy for the end users to switch providers, so any similar act would be equivalent to a business suicide. But, well, we live in a world where most online services are free (as in paid via channels over which the consumers and new competition have zero control), so the corporations can get away with it.

Just off the top, pieces of the puzzle missing...

We have no idea how complete "known to have recovered" is where as the vaccinated population is well known.

It also doesn't say how "known to have recovered" as well as vaccinated is being calculated.

I'm also not sure what the relevance is given the comparative deadliness of the vaccine and "natural" immunity.

Edit: That's actually another statistic issue. You need to consider the "known to have not recovered." The population of "known to have recovered" is itself a biased selection of those with stronger immunities than the general population.
These are relatively new medications, so I think roughly a decade for Liraglutide and more for Semaglutide but I'd have to check. Medicare doesn't cover them yet sadly.

There is another promising obesity medication in Phase 3 trials at the moment so it's fair to expect increased competition & decreased prices in the coming years - although it's obviously hard to predict.
Sometimes you don't ever need to watch the full video. Maybe you just want to remember the existence of a specific snippet from 47:31-49:55.
Even in an emergency you're virtually never the critical chain in the response.

First responders are. Bystanders are. The staff at the hospital are.

There can be cases in which it's helpful to advocate for someone (unfortunately in countries with private-payor adversarial healthcare systems this does approach a necessity at times), or to comfort. But that's a role that's very rarely time-critical.

Source: trained and experienced at first aid, treating emergencies, witness to numerous accidents and injuries (and on the recieving end in a few myself). There's an immense pressure and often an assumed obligation to be aware and respond. In terms of actually positively affecting outcome ... the role is grossly overstated.

The one critical exception is when engaged in remote activities (hiking, mountaineering, sailing, etc.) where you might be a required part of an initial help-summoning chain. That's the exception for most people.

Keeping a calm head, ensuring that qualified help *i
You don't need to `foreach { Remove-Item $_.Name }` because Remove-Item can take the objects returned by Get-ChildItem directly.

Also, expanding the regex into `-Include` parameters is somewhat cheating since `-Include` only takes globs, and it just so happens that that particular regex can be converted into globs.

The general equivalent is:

gci -re | ?{ $_.Name -match '.*_test\.(py|cc)' } | ri

I understand, my point was, the never ending war gave them the opportunity to funnel to Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, etc.

Making "universal" programs is the same thing as Afghanistan, you won't get anything out of it in the end and it'll end up costing you trillions.

The best government program is near to no program. Don't print more, let it hold it's value, don't steal from the people. Then you'll have oodles of wealth to help the true people in need, either through private companies or through limited government programs with oversight.

Stop giving them tax payer fund spigots, they can't be trusted.
It's not completely clear to me how this will impact backwards compatibility: if I create a table with STRICT will versions of SQLite prior to the one that ships the feature still be able to open that database file and read from and write to that table?

If they can, and they insert an invalid row, what will happen when a modern version of SQLite attempts to read from the table?

> But as acceptable as it is, you are still a spy and the app is spyware.

I vehemently disagree that a feature could be classed as spyware if it clearly and unambiguously declares exactly what it's going to do prior offering a choice whether or not to do it. By that logic, the mere presence of a "report phishing" button in any cloud email service would be sufficient to declare it as spyware.

But fine, whatever. You're welcome to call any form of parental oversight of a child below the age of thirteen "spyware" if you like, so long as you accept that it's entirely my choice as a parent. This feature isn't on by default. If your opinions as a parent are different, don't turn it on. It's not your place to deny me access to this opt-in tool which can help keep my child safe.
Schema on write becomes part of the daily ritual. Block out time to check emails, block out time to clean off your desk, block out time to save all your links and notes from the day. Ignore the voice in your head telling you this isn't productive time, because it is definitely productive. The ability to clock out with a clear head is liberating. And even the process of going through links, notes, etc. and categorizing ("filing") them helps me remember things anyway.
Sounds like its the fault of the professors/TAs for not using an appropriate analogy.
No, that doesn't sound like web3 at all. Web3 runs on different rails than Web2.

Web3 typically runs on IPFS which is like an upgraded HTTPS where instead of just one computer hosting a file on the internet it's instead lots of different people around the world. It's pretty much impossible to censor a file on IPFS. IPFS also allows easy offline web apps and a built-in CDN.

Web3 also uses a decentralized execution and state system where instead of your data being in one companies' servers like Facebook it's instead hosted on thousands of people's copy of the database. The important state data is impossible to censor.

In Web3 the infrastructure is distributed and no one controls it. You can run an app without having to trust anyone.
It's quite amazing the things you can do with TikZ. Often times I start with an idea for an illustration but it seems too daunting. Then I start writing the code, it begins to take shape, and in the end it's usually easier than I expected. Some times I have to use linear algebra to calculate coordinates though, so it's definitely not for everyone.
I don’t find it confusing, but it is certainly more complex than a simple function call. I chose it because it is a basic usage of generics, to highlight that basic generics are more complex than basic function calls.

A code base that makes heavy usage of generics takes more time to understand than one that doesn’t make heavy use of generics. The readability of go is what I love about it, amongst a few other things.
I want nothing more than the MathJax version of this.

At one point I was trying to automate against an internal tool that had a (useless, for my purposes) dependency on AWS. Rather than give my pipeline access to AWS, I strapped VCR (https://github.com/vcr/vcr) onto it, ran it on my laptop with my own AWS permissions, and then just ran the automation with VCR in front of it from there on out.
When I type at a Groovy REPL, an interpreter is using reflection for nearly everything. Same goes for native code that has to use reflection via JNI entry points to call Java. It’s damn useful. At the heart of every debugger is a half-finished reflection API that deserves to be cleaned up and surfaced for language interop and novel kinds of tools.
