The M1 is hitting 4gHz across only 4 of it's cores, whereas the 9750 is driving 6 (and 12 threads on top of that). Furthermore, the M1 will have no problem hitting ~20w during peak load, so frankly the math checks out to me. The comparison definitely starts to deteriorate once you consider that the M1 is ~3x as transistor-dense as the Intel chip, and part of me actually wonders why they didn't get more power out of a chip that only needs to worry about a handful of instructions and doesn't know about hyper-threading.
Laptops are not designed to do that under consumer operating conditions (they can, sure, but they won’t). No manufacturer will ship you a system with an adapter that can’t power the machine at peak load.

Nice work! Is there a "modeling" / transformation layer?
On new accounts.
it was an honest question. what about it came across as snarky?
It's almost like that style of commercialized prose forces you to recognize it as such and reflect on how crass it really is. And then you realize that that kind of dialogue is pretty much the one you are having with yourself 24/7, involuntarily, due to how mediated our experience is by commercial interests.

Or maybe we just go back to building our adtech stuff, and the system marches on and on.
I never understood the push for terseness in newer languages. Are there any IDE's or text editors today that don't do code completion? Code coloring helps too. Usability is improved with full words imo...
you can find your web app in any other phone/tablet/laptop/desktop/tv though, it s not tied to a brand or to your credit card, and crucially competition is not regulated by 2 gatekeepers.
That's definitely true.

The whole ordeal actually uncovered a huge issue with perfectionism I had it due to a less-than-equal upbringing.

In therapy I learned to accept it better, to the annoyance of other perfectionists. But boy oh boy if it isn't worth the quality of life.

How else would you describe a situation if ICU beds in your area are full? [1]

Do you think a bed will appear for you, if you get into a serious car accident? Will you even want to be going to the hospital for chemotherapy, right now (And that's assuming the oncologists are actually doing their jobs, instead of treating COVID patients)? To the doctor's office for some routine care, if you have a vulnerable person in your household?

Hospital beds and doctors aren't Kubernetes containers. You can't simply spin more up based on a demand surge.

> Is there any reason not to increase vaccine production rates

Intellectual property rights.

It's not a "good" reason. But it's a reality that needs to be overcome.

Germany doesn't want the Pfizer vaccine made freely: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

I have little understanding of this but someone who actually works on vaccines told me this theory: Your body upon coming in contact with the vaccine starts to product antibodies (the first shot). This is generally enough for a normal immune system to fight the disease if in the future the body was to come in contact with the virus. The second shot is for hyper immunity after 4 weeks. What it does is that it basically tells your body make a lot more antibodies now and the second shot is actually a booster shot. So every time you take a shot afterwards (like in the middle of a pandemic) your body produces an abundance of antibodies and will likely fend off the virus much more easily than if there was no booster dose of any kind and just a vaccine shot. This is important because simply protecting your body from the virus is not enough since you could be carrying the virus and spreading it with mild infection which will not be a problem for you but will not protect others and so the hyperimmunity is important for preventing spread during a wave. I won’t be surprised if this one is a yearly dose as you need to be hyperimmune to not show symptoms and spread.

as a person who knows and works both, Elixir/Phoenix and Rails.

Elixir/Phoenix is dead simple. Theres no "Rails Magic." It's easy to understand what's happening at all times. You don't need to have a grasp of the internals of OTP because it's not that important for the problem described above, but it's there should you need it, wand why you do need it you just need to understand it instead of of a plethora of extra technologies/DSLs that you would with a regular Rails Application.

with Rails you need to know/consider technologies like Foremen, Webpacker, Redis, Capistrano(or what ever), AnyCable or ActionCable, Sidekiq or whatever for ActiveJob, then how Puma(Unicorn, Thin) Webservers work, you probably need NgineX or something like it for reverse proxying. For more Rich Frontend experiences, something like Stimulus Reflex or a JS Spa(angular, react, svelte) Cron for periodic task, even stuff like periodically restarting your application. These are things you don't have to necessarily worry about in the context of Elixir & Phoenix w/ Liveview.
In the UK at least, I'd say we have ended up in a situation where banks found that their approach to 'selling financial services' vastly abused their customers and now they are having to pay massive sums in compensation, they need to fleece account holders in some other way to meet their income and profit targets.

Long-gone are the times when high street banks were based on loaning out the deposits from savings accounts. Building Societies do/did this, but of course the banks bought up most of those too in their spending sprees of M&A to become 'bigger and better'. Well, bigger anyway
For Douglas Adams, this line did it for me:

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't"

Man, I think it's time for a HHGTTG re-read.
It's why I'm more interested in companies that can treat the symptoms effectively than only the vaccines right now. IMO the only way this ever truly gets better is if the effects can be mitigated quickly.

Whoever figures that out is going to make a lot of money.
A lot of people get a flu shot every year so on the level of abstraction of "a vaccine" it's not that big of a problem. These vaccines are slightly more side effecty than the average flu shot (flu shots don't usually make you feel as bad for the day or two after the shot) so who knows.

People take the flu shot annually and are generally fine. Unless it’s showing that COVID-19 vaccines are much more dangerous than flu vaccines, this isn’t a big concern.
I didn't say they don't exist anywhere else, but they didn't exist here until recently.

I also didn't say the purpose is screwing poor people, but like many other things like car emissions caps, they introduce new regulations and laws and bullshit without thinking the poor are often disproportionately affected by them.

Rewriting the title of posts to reflect the actual article should be permitted tbh, but I've had posts where I've done that and a mod has changed it back to whatever the page title was, even if it made no sense and didn't reflect the content.
That's a fair point but the effect is wildly different for the reader or audience in the modern world. Where Gibson's invented language invokes a mood with a very different language you can still follow, Shakespeare's language became common usage to the point of sounding cliched. He's even named his loverboy character "Romeo!" - a real quote from highschool. Kind of different to reading how someone interfaced, jacked, punched deck, couldn't proj etc. It's been decades so my examples are probably in need of some work but I guess they stayed with me that long.
presumably the same rules that you trust for neighbors to work on their own plumbing/landscaping and preventing runoff into your yard, for example, would apply here.
Vice President has legal meaning as a title. Only a vice president or above can make some loans. Since banks make those loans all the time they need a lot of vice presidents to do it. In a small town bank with at most 10 people it makes sense, but for a large banks with branches all over the country you end up with a ton of vice presidents just for that need, but they don't really get any other authority.

I don't know… I feel like this statement pairs aren't mutually exclusive:

>a) I have a natural talent for influencing people b) I am no good at influencing people

Maybe someone is good but has no NATURAL talent.

>a) When people compliment me I sometimes get embarrassed
b) I know I am good because everyone keeps telling me so

You can be embarrassed by compliments and still take them to heart.

>a) The thought of ruling the world frightens the hell out of me
b) If I ruled the world it would be a better place

Being scared of ruling almost sounds like a prerequisite for being a good ruler. That can help keep you honest and humble. Being scared doesn't imply that you think you'd necessarily be bad.

>a) I insist on getting the respect that is due to me
b) I usually get the respect I deserve

Maybe I usually get the respect I deserve, but on the few occasions I don't, then I insist on getting the respect that is due to me. :-)
There is no such thing as safety, only varying degrees of risk. Everyone has a different risk tolerance. Failure to explicitly quantify acceptable risks leads to people making invalid assumptions and talking past each other.

I think they're saying that we can hope that three shots gives long term resistance, as it happens for other vaccines. We can only hope, and it's not a totally unrealistic hope given how other vaccines work.

Imagine there is a wheel in-front of your chest, in the same orientation the front wheel of a bike would be if you were riding it, but smaller and up higher.

Then point your index fingers toward each other so that they are both tracing the same wheel. They can each go forward or backward. Most people struggle with making them go opposite directions. To the point that they'll do it once or a half of a time, and then switch directions with one hand and not even realize it. It's fun to teach kids.

You can do it with your whole hand, or arm, or just the fingers, with different size circles, each takes a bit of practice once you get over the initial hurdle.
