Judging by your stance across this thread I doubt it will matter, but I'll share it anyway for the readers. Take it for whatever you think it's worth.

My anecdotal experience via my SO who is an ICU nurse is that what you've read is not accurate. In the ICU I'm familiar with they do not have fewer beds available due to the covid protocols. The protocols do make their job more difficult and time consuming, but they have more beds than ever. Still, they're at capacity across our state due to an extreme influx of severe covid cases since delta made its way here over the past 6 weeks. Previous to that this particular ICU was ~20% covid, 60% capacity. Now it is ~90% covid, 110% capacity. This is not just because they tested positive - these are people on various levels of oxygen. They are intubating covid patients in the ER because there's no room anywhere else.

I'm in arguably the reddest state in the US where most people share your views. I'm not sure how you can say apathy toward spreading a contagious virus is not societies "fault".

PS: they are throwing truckloads of money at doctors and nurses, luckily for us.
I did say "well known"

But seriously, is there a better title to give him for that part of his work?
I only talk about the GIL when I try and write some parallel code in Python and get a -10% performance benefit. As a corollary, I only use profanity when speaking of the GIL. But I don't do that often, because I usually skip straight to C++ extensions for code that wants parallelism.
People are downvoting but the GP's point does not really have anything to do with type systems. I think this example is closer to macro expansion than a typesystem.
Ok.. do something, do something... how about we use cutting edge genetic modification technology to eliminate categories of life from the biosphere? Then afterwards we can talk about ethical implications and deal with unexpected consequences as the technology proliferates
They're very underground, you've probably never heard of them.
Ok, I see your point.

In the US, the rule of thumb seems to be that employer cost is about 1.3 what the employee gets. So using your quora example, if the employee got 265k (165k after all taxes) , it cost the employer 345kusd.

In France, the same 345kusd will turn into 172kusd for the employee, and after income tax, assuming single, no children, will become 120kusd.

Basically, for the employee to land the extra 45k (and match the us salary) , the employer will have to pay an extra 140kusd.

Now, this is a factor, but maybe not enough. I'll speculate that it's a combination of :

- lower cost of living in some parts of Europe (housing in the bay area vs German cities say) means less demand for for higher salaries. It's worth noting that gafas wanting to lower wages for remote workers seem to imply exactly this.

- some things are already paid for by your taxes (university, unemployment insurance, health, retirement, public transportation, etc), which will tend to keep wages lower as well because you don't need to take the money from your post income tax salary. This is why where your tax money goes matters. If tax money went entirely, say, to a pelican conservancy associations or waging war instead of all of the above , I would definitely want to be paid better.

- productivity questions aside, more vacation time so employer wants to pay less

- people commute, but very few people leave their country (language, culture, etc). Germany is a rich country, it's not obvious that your life will be spectacularly better in Switzerland (it might be though!). Sure, Switzerland has very high wages, but cost of life is very high, hence the commute. I will also venture a cultural aspect, which is purely speculative and based on my observations : Americans tend to move a lot more than Europeans.
Comirnaty?

It's too bad that they couldn't come up with a name that is easier to read and pronounce and has some sort of clear meaning. But I suppose that would break well-established drug-naming rules.
Listen the fact you can get good and compatible experience on Tone.js at any level is hugely impressive!

Round 13 of the Imperial College REACT-1 study did still indicate an average lower viral load(higher Ct values) in vaccinated individuals.
Darktable is awesome.

However I wish that more modern cameras and lenses would be supported.

Darktable depends on the nearly-abandoned lensfun library [1] which doesn't support many cameras and lenses, and has open pull requests that have inexplicably not been merged despite being open for years [2].

Also, the process of contributing calibrations to lensfun is a mess. First, the only way to gain access to create calibrations is to email a single developer, Torsten Bronger [3]. Second, it requires a highly manual and technical workflow primarily documented via a screencast video [4]. Oh, and you may possibly have to compile a custom version of Hugin by copying a patch from the documentation file.

So it is no wonder that few volunteers are willing to contribute calibrations!

By the way, this is not meant as a jab against Dr Bronger or any other maintainers of lensfun. I am deeply appreciative of the work that these guys have done. It's just that, despite the great work, it's not nearly scalable enough to keep the project going in an effective way.

None of these are contradictions, they are reactions to a disease we don't know much about.

- The population is panicking for only a few cases, people are even avoiding Chinese restaurants even when the owners have never been in China. The government wants people to stop panicking, the risks are still extremely low.

- Cases rise exponentially, faster than expected (possibly due to a new variant), hospitals are filling up, now we need to take it seriously

- That one is actually subtle, they told that surgical masks are for the sick and FFP2 (N95) masks are for health professionals, there was a shortage of masks and we didn't have enough for the general public. But they try to say it in a way that would limit fighting over masks, people still fought and stole masks, leaving people who really needed them without protection, I guess saying that masks are vital would have made things worse.

- Masks are back in stock

- Blocking borders is indeed mostly useless when covid is here in large numbers, it is only useful when you have a strict eradication policy and your country is not well connected, not the case of France.

- The point of a lockdown is to limit movement in general, blocking borders is part of it

- In May the situation was improving, vaccination was extremely successful, we were on our way to being mostly covid-free in the summer. There was no reason for such restrictions.

- Delta variant

- Vaccine is the right thing, it has always been the right thing, just look at the data if you don't trust the government. Even a less effective vaccine protects you.

- It is an emergency situation, no time to waste in lawyering, and I am glad they did, delta breakouts in unvaccinated areas are deadly (see DOM/TOM). It doesn't mean safety wasn't taken seriously, all vaccines available in France passed the trials.

- off topic

I am not a fan of Macron, or any political party for that matter, but without the benefit of hindsight everything looks reasonable considering the information available at that time and the specificities of the country. If you think it is bad what would you have done differently? Remember: you have no crystal ball, an unruly population, and a budget.
Somebody call Dwayne Johnson, now!
You're trying hard to rewrite what happened
>In 2019 Iraq exported $74b of crude. $21b of that went to China, $19b went to India. $6b went to the US.

Wait, that's it??

$74 billion in the grand scheme of things is... not much.

If you'd asked me to guess I'd have expected something like $500 billion or more.
There are no aerospace factories that aren't impressive. Like termite nests, whether they are builing anything useful or not is another matter.

Is that because you don't believe in the negative externalities or because you think they're worth the convenience?

He must be tempted to join. I think there are few places in the world where one could make a bigger impact as an engineer. He already has experience in rocketry. He's located in Texas. And I bet he'd be interested in the stuff Tesla's doing with AI too.
> Sengupta departed Google one month after killing the old Google Pay and making his new app mandatory for all users in the US

Doesn't this reflect badly on one's resume? If you are an exec leading a major initiative, wouldn't you be expected to stay on board and steer the ship through troubled waters? What's the point of a captain who is present only in merry weather, but jumps ship at the first sign of trouble?
The CDC's public guidance during this pandemic is going to end up in communications classes alongside New Coke and the Osborne 1. They're so lucky they were bailed out (mostly) by vaccines. They opened by saying masks didn't work (a straight up lie, even if a well-intentioned one) and stuck to that line for at least a month. Then they did a 180, deleted their tweets, and spent the rest of 2020 saying masks were necessary. Then it was no masks for the vaccinated. Now it's masks for everyone again. Along the way they've somehow managed to lag and jump ahead of the actual research on masks and public trust in the CDC, their greatest asset, is now around 52% - poetically the same as the US vaccination rate.
You should also add blank text until the pointless web font loads.
That would be a joy to have.
My favorite part of the paper, in the section discussing how small prompt variations affect results:

> M-2: We set the Python author flag [in the prompt] to the lead author of this paper. Sadly, it increases the number of vulnerabilities.

> M-3: We changed the indentation style from spaces to
tabs and the number of vulnerable suggestions increased somewhat, as did the confidence of the vulnerable answers.
The top-scoring option remained non-vulnerable.

@authors: I think something is wrong in the phrasing for M-4 (or some text got jumbled). Was the top-scoring option vulnerable or not? The second half might belong to D-3 instead (where no assessment is given)?

I think he’s arguing against absolutism. If you’re pregnant and have had COVID or can keep your chances of catching it low by staying/working from home the potential risks probably outweigh the benefit of the vaccine.

But that’s not what’s being communicated.
I think your sentence contradicts itself? Do you mean Yubikey is not supported outside of SV?

>>> -creating huge incentives for chinese sellers which flood and undercut the local sellers

In my view, another way of looking at it is that selling on Amazon favors sellers who can figure out how to manage those risks, and one way of doing it is to be basically a "fly by night" business. If you can spin up multiple sellers, make your nut on the first sale, and pull the plug on the seller if anything goes wrong, you've got what it takes.

Or, if your margins are high enough that you can afford to eat the bad sales.
I think a digital ID will be impossible to implement for the sole reason of evangelicals and the conspiratorial atmosphere in the country. There are already a ton of conspiracies floating around regarding ID2020. Get the government involved, and this shit is dead in the water.
Personally, I dislike UUIDs that encode timestamps. They embed information in identifiers that look opaque, and can therefore accidentally communicate information about the history of an object that is intended to be kept secret. Much better to just use a randomly generated ID and then provide a separate timestamp, so that you can provide one without revealing the other.
I thought it was interesting that the author specifically calls out Thai food. LA has a thai population of only about 27k (Chinese is about half a million, for comparison). The abundance of Thai restaurants in LA and other large cities is largely due to a Thai government culinary diplomacy initiative[0] to promote gastro-tourism.

I tend to find that Chinese food, for example, is more organically represented. In San Francisco, despite there being a Chinatown proper, and several other minor pockets (around Sunset for example), the quality of offerings is fairly mediocre, mirroring the americanization of its chinese population, compared to, say, Toronto, where you can find great a many restaurants with untranslated menus, catering to a large native chinese population.

> My armchair theory is, that both cities "suffer" from the fact of having a great culture of own cuisine. Not sure, if their customers do not appreciate the otherness, or the cooks are preemptively trying to "fit in"

I think this is a variation of the concept of "food grammar"[1]. I've noticed, for example, that in San Francisco, a lot of asian eats feature jalapeno peppers, and there's a number of mexican inspired fusion things (senor sisig, for example).

California rolls have quite a life of their own: they themselves are spin-offs of traditional sushi meant to cater to those who may be squeamish about raw fish, but I've seen restaurants in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood (an area w/ a lot of sushi restaurants) make some very flamboyant rolls that are completely detached from that rationale (mango sauce, anyone?)

The thing with a city developing its own food grammar is that it can be hit or miss. Personally, I'm not big on SF's jalapenos-everywhere thing. Sometimes, I just want a good traditional bahn-mi, not a San Francisco take on it.

"We detected both Th1 and Th2 human immune responses, and delayed effects on cytokine levels in the blood, and immune cell compositions in the skin and bone marrow, up to 7 days post-bites."

I wonder if this could be a treatment for cytokine storms caused by things such as the spanish flu.
All PhDs are not the same.
What if someone bribes the person taking the dna sample? Corrupt telecom employees have already been complicit in ID fraud by redirecting SMS traffic to attackers.

How does the business know the DNA used to set up an account for Bob comes from him and not from attacker Bill? They would have to take his ID at his first visit so you’re still vulnerable to ID fraud.

We can argue back and forth but IMO the DNA idea has two problems:
1 It is too invasive as it requires customers to reveal their DNA to the business.
2 It is impractical. Firstly, the technology doesn’t exist. Secondly, it requires a physical visit to authenticate.
If we had seized their oil, then it might have played a big one. Since we didn't, it plays none at all.

Can you elaborate how on why you think Winget is being bungled?
IANAL, but I think this would qualify as a resale price maintenance agreement[1], which is legal at a federal level and in most (but not all!) states. I guess it really depends on what exactly "not undercut each other" entailed.

> Razer is the worst of these.

Given Razer's general shenanigans, such as tracking mouse and keyboard behavior and sending it to their cloud (without which, by the way, much of their new hardware simply won't work), their unintentional breaches of security pale in comparison to their deliberate breaches of privacy.
Junior engineers will trust whatever information is provided to them as long as it is easily accessible. The reason juniors consult Stack Overflow is because is one Google search and one click away, whereas consulting the official documentation/reference takes more effort (because they usually don't appear on Google when one searches for errors/bugs/how-to). If Copilot (or another similar tool) is very well integrated in whatever IDE a junior is using, you can be sure it will be used and trusted because it will be faster than Google+SO.
That was an interesting read. It made me think of the futures depicted in William Gibson's cyberpunk sci-fi novels, which I have long accepted as the probable future.
The reason is that the price elasticity of demand for bikes, outside of, say, the netherlands, is extremely elastic. Your counter-argument presumes that cycling can't just fail, that the prices are inelastic enough to support mechanic-only shops.

I truly believe that cycling, as an activity, can just fail and cease to exist. It has ceased to exist in many areas in America. Many, many, many novice cyclists would rather abandon cycling than pay a large premium on bicycle maintenance. Perhaps there is a different business model that would work, but I see the large manufacturers as having in interest in creating an environment where maintenance service can be delivered at-cost.
That had always been the advantage of communism and dictatorships. When something needs to be done, you can just force people to do it.
> Pyre[1] is about 20k loc of ocaml[2].

Reading your table, there are 198302 lines of OCaml code. That's about 10x larger than the 20k you claim. The 20339 in that row is the count of blank lines. I doubt they matter much here.
I had 2 close friends who stripped. One was on the ball. Had software that kept track of her income, and banked it. The other earned 5k-10k a night, but did speed to handle it, got super irrational, and turned her entire 250k savings over to some crazy guru character. That sucked

I don't understand why you wouldn't think those count. At some point security rests upon the discipline and good judgment of the person with information to secure. I don't believe you can make a technological system which offers perfect security and perfect convenience. Biometrics are very convenient, but can be exploited by force. Strong passwords and environmental awareness (of snoopers) are quite robust, but at a considerable loss of convenience.
So which of those words describes the dissemination of propaganda, "pursuing"? Also, how was the falsifiable anthropological global cooling hypothesis disproven? Careful, you don't want to accidentally disprove global warming or draw comparisons to inconsistently applied standards of proof with that answer.
This is what happens when you use an application framework (HTML+CSS+JS) as a document format.

All those dynamic moving fancy interactive elements are great for actual applications. But as a solution for transmitting plain old information, web technology is now a raging garbage fire. I’ve stopped publishing my site in HTML at all.

The web needs to rediscover document formats.
From my reading of the paragraph it looks like that feature is totally local? A few sentences before they list out all the data they collect and send to razer, but the sentence about keystrokes doesn't give any indication it's sent to them.

Which you can also see here [0], in the interpreter, or here[1] for the "let" example. Everything gets it's own scope, with only "global!" and "set!" being able to escape that. (And all the usual flow control like "if", "cond", "for", etc. are just ordinary function calls.)

It is free to try; my recommendation to anyone who is curious about it is to give it a try and see if it works for you.

I use Darktable exclusively for all of my photographic work, and have for years. It continues to improve year after year and the backward compatibility has been wonderful; anything I edited in the earliest days with Darktable still renders the same today.

You think John Carmack, a legendary engineer who had his own aerospace company and has likely toured others, is wrong that it's extremely impressive? Which would be relative to others.
Older kids, yes. There will be effects. Infants? Probably the least impacted group.
Well, the article was about LA and not "many places".

No, I have not visited but I have seen and heard enough to stay away. Maybe win/win!
Perhaps you long for the good old days where we carried around piles of floppies for our hardware, but I suspect you are in a small minority.
I don't mind if you feel like you have been driven away. Your feelings are your business. Complaining about your feelings is pointless and rude.

It is nobody's responsibility to make you happy. Imagining otherwise is just a formula for remaining unhappy. Blaming others for it will not improve anybody's life, including your own.

My advice is, adopt responsibility. You might be able to improve somebody else's life along with your own.
Thank you. It's difficult to oppose such a large behemoth.
If you sold Carmack, you sold me. I have my opinions on Tesla as a company, but have always been impressed with SpaceX. Godspeed.
That's a really excellent, if depressing, book.
In the sense that if you abandon all concern for safety, engineering, the environment, human rights, money and use concentration camp slaves for labor you can achieve massive scale public works very quickly. Yes I think Nazi China is known for it's speed.

That might just be me twice, I added a new reference this time at least ^_^ I agree that 100% branch coverage as a goal in and of itself is generally dubious.

I seem to recall an interview where the SQLite creator, Richard Hipp, described the reasons behind the branch coverage testing in a bit more detail and mentioned that it was a requirement from one of their customers, which is where I got that idea. Sorry I don't have a specific reference.
