Where I live, you can buy a very cheap tent with a rain cover for 25 USD (made in China). And I don't carry any cooking gear, so I keep things very cheap. But, yes, there are people who go crazy with "kit"!
From a physical security perspective, I cannot recommend and emphasize enough having a fiber optic media converter between your network interface (cable modem, satellite, etc.) and your expensive and extensive network. The purpose is to isolate your expensive hardware from lightning-induced destruction. The cable modem and one of the media converters serve as "sacrificial anodes" in this setup. It ends up being much cheaper to replace just a cable modem and a single media converter instead of an entire network of devices.
nope - as you allude to, ideally we could spit out these vaccines and just give people 6-month boosters until everyone is vaccinated and we're good.

I believe the issue is that too many people fail to get vaccinated so it's challenging. Requiring boosters might also convert small numbers of people who got a vaccine one to not get it subsequent times.
Plus there is NO mainstream advertising that allows sites that are risque/on the nsfw side (not even talking about porn, just adult themes). Late night TV shows and soft porn were never devoid of advertising, yet apparently internet advertisers live in the victorian age.

People with political bumper stickers are braver than me. In an ever more polarized political climate it's almost dangerous to declare a side openly. But then again, without risk, there's no chance for reward, and silencing yourself for safety reasons just reinforces the status quo as working.

What a fun little nightmare.
The parking lot is full of vans and trucks, and some beleaguered sedans and stationwagons. There's tons of hardware, literally.
It seems like longer, but COVID has only been a thing for around 21 months.

To be this far in vaccination at this point is huge progress. Achieving desktop Linux and nuclear fusion have been ongoing projects for far longer.
Someone with a lot of cash can obtain private insurance more cheaply than the cost of managing deposits in dozens of banks. Multiple deposit locations are more of a convenience and a relationship building approach. You do see some people try to “game” FDIC/NCUA with $249k in each bank but they are generally either eccentrics or elderly people who only invest simply and are afraid of disasters. It’s up to the bank to do loan and fee business proportionately to their deposits and these kinds of accounts are factored in. No harm done.

> EU directive that require certain guarantees from the member states

Which is not EU-wide deposit insurance. It is a directive asking EU members to create national deposit insurance schemes.
I think they're saying that other vaccines, not COVID vaccines, have this property. We can't assess decadal resistance yet for COVID vaccines.

Oh, we have acknowledged it. The question is, have our politicians acknowledged it, or will they keep taking our rights?
Great, let's degrade our immune systems in an over reaction to this by vaccinating every five months in a never ending saga.
I know the qemu-bsd-user fork has some hacks for the bsd-user stuff that looks at the binary to be exec'd and does different things based on the target since there's some optimizations you can get out of this if you don't rely on the kernel 100%... Bits of them may even be in my latest patch-set :)

An embedded map is definitely a document. The problem being that this document is too large to fit on your computer, so it needs to be stored on someone else's computer and therefore can only be accessed piecemeal.

> You could turn the question around: why should webpages be dynamic at all? Just make a dumb client that requests rendered SVGs from a server after a client tells you its screen size.

> Oh but that can't work because it's not really a document, but a dynamically laid out program after all.

What prevents one from sending a screen size and getting a server-side rendered SVG back with that exact screen size? It was a thing in Telnet days, and it's what Stadia/Mighty browser are doing. Not that I'm saying it's a good idea, but it is feasible.
this wouldn't be covid-19 vaccine, rather a vaccine for another disease. We absolutely do not have any data on the efficacy of any covid-19 vaccine after a decade (or more than 18 months or so) yet.
I believe he’s getting at the idea of nested levels of corruption, with no visibility into where that corruption happens (because recompilation of the compiler/ML produces a fresh inscrutable binary).

I suppose the better term in this context is error propogation
SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote US

Fern Creek Software is in need of multiple developers with various disciplines. Most of what we do is C# but that is honestly not a big requirement for us as most smart developers can pick up another language pretty easy.

We are consultants so we do work for other companies, usually SaaS companies.

Our teams are small, usually less than 7 people and we try to make sure and keep developers writing code instead of stuck in meetings.

This is a job where you will constantly be solving challenging technical problems, working with and learning from other really smart developers and using the latest tech stacks.

I need people who are self starters, can stay focused and can work independently, we are not setup for lots of overhead. We have no project managers or anything like that.

Interested?

BioRxiv paper's on this work is here[0].

This is some pretty interesting work. It'd be interesting to figure out how they adapt walking to traverse 3d terrain, because robots are really bad at this. Tardigrades have about 200 neurons and probably don't have much of concept of proprioception so figuring out how they work would be useful for robots. They might 'cheat' at walking by being able to adhere to the surface though.

What Is Accelerated Computing?
A question to consider is, how to we move from pandemic to endemic? COVID-19 isn't going away and will join the other endemic viruses like chicken pox, the other widely out there coronaviruses, etc.
We see these low interest rates worldwide, twisting them into somehow the EU having them to screw poor people over is laughable.

Note that low interest rates affect those with money (i.e. not poor) much more than those without much money.
My understanding is that if you've had a two-shot series you should get a third shot within 12 months of your second in order to extend immunity for a significant period of time. I'm hoping boosters are offered for Pfizer & Moderna soon, because most people I know are fully vaccinated but also aware that COVID is basically endemic at this point.
Often this is for sound-proofing. Extra mass helps.
In my experience, people call the dairy stuff "butter" and the plant substitute "margarine" rather consistently. But yeah, good point about the peanut butter.
I am in finance and literally struggled to wrap my mind around this last year, until a proper fixed income trader explained this to me and I'll explain it the same way.

Last year, oil futures prices turned negative. Which means "wait, I can take delivery of oil AND get cash for it too." So why didn't people do this? Because there's a cost of cary to oil - I need to pick it up in a train car at a specific place in the US and I need to store it somewhere, which is expensive. So while they were "paying you to take the oil" you couldn't really just jump on it and do it.

This is an analogous situation to what's going on with a negative interest rate. You're right, you're literally better off taking the money out into a pile of cash. And if you only have a few thousand bucks you could just do that (but then you need to drive to the bank, figure out how to store it, drive back when the rate goes back up, etc.) But if you have a few hundred thousand bucks - what are you gonna do? Cash it out in hundreds and keep it in your garage? At some point the logistics and theft risk of that adds up too.

Meaning, similarly to the oil example, while the raw numbers indicate one strategy, the practicality of carrying the asset on your own tends to outweigh the benefit. So yeah, someone may chose to incur negative interest if their only other option is to pile up cash in the house where they have to worry about it being stolen, burning in a fire, etc.
The integration (the Linux VM is transparent to the user) is what makes all the difference.
As far as I can tell is bad news for rare vaccine side effects. If the side effects are rare but you take a booster twice a year for 50 years, rare outcomes become much more likely. (Referring here to the high count but not that high stuff that shows up in VAERS like tinnitus.)

Hopefully more vaccines are developed that become safer over time so that the danger falls faster than the repeated risk accumulates. Or perhaps the rare side effects are due to personal susceptibility and aren't cumulative so people who didn't get bad side effects the first time won't get them the 90th.
Use any device on the web. apps are digital chains

I assume this is snark, but misguided if so. I believe the parent comment was simply stating there are some vaccines generally with this trait, so perhaps the covid vaccines would similarly improve from a 3rd dose

Make a native version of that.
In FreeBSD package builder setup, we also have /bin/sh and a few other heavily used binaries that are native because it shaves hours or days off a package run (itself takes 10 days, even optimized like this).
Some interviewees quickly decide who's the boss, or primary decider in the interview, and then totally focus all their charm on them.
The popcorn communities that are following this have found some great results in reaction to this.

Frustrated with the inaction of the admins some redditors proceeded to make /r/ivermectin into a NSFW subreddit by posting drawn sexual content involving horses: https://old.reddit.com/r/TopMindsOfReddit/comments/pfb2kr/ch...

Meanwhile last night there are accusations being pushed by both sides about pedophilia: https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/pfmbjf/rnon...

It's hilarious and sad, and while it may be technically censorship, IMO the people calling for the removal of Covid misinformation and the subreddits spreading it have just as much right to do so as I have to boo and heckle a performing artist.
I was more thinking of C# where "=>" is the closest thing I can think of to "function".

There is Func<T> - that's a delegate type.
What did you move to for wifi? Gateway/firewall/edge is easy to replace, but I haven't seen much that could compete with UBNT at their price point.
Tardigrades show robust interlimb coordination across walking speeds, terrains
browsers are apps. everything is a chain.
if this will push some content outside of youtube, it's a good thing. Youtube itself is only getting more and more draconian, we ve sacrificed diversity of content for convenience.
In the first world there is an issue of take up. But around much of the rest of the world, the issues is they haven’t received nearly enough vaccine.

If we don’t significantly vaccinate much of the rest of the world, my expectation is a continued high rate of variant creation as well as continued economic instability due to logistics disruption.
If so, I'm not sure how that's relevant to COVID at the present. Per the article we're discussing it's unclear how long a 3rd dose will be effective for, hence my comment to begin with.

If we were to pre-suppose you gain a decade of prevention then yeah, that'd be great.
No, not really. It just reads it. You're basically talking about a screen reader, and we don't use the term dictation.
+9000 for this comment. So many times I have seen very technical people dump on Excel. It is the most powerful "mid-power" platform I can think of. Just the idea that you can "record macros", then review/edit is an incredible learning platform. I've posted so many times about the power of Excel. And don't me started about custom plug-ins. You can go crazy with it.
The trauma center emergency room in my state is diverting patients to less-capable facilities. Elective surgeries (such as for cancer and other life-threatening conditions) are being cancelled. All of this is happening in states representing perhaps a third of the US population.

Not being able to get lifesaving cancer removal surgery is the state of affairs that people colloquially mean when say a medical system is "collapsing."
For me, this remains one of the most interesting studies in literary imagery, and one that only gets more interesting with time. By the 1990s, of course, TVs tended to show an RGB#0000FF blue when given an unusable signal – something which itself has largely died out over the past two decades with modern TVs reverting to black instead of blue.

And yet... there's no mistaking the visual evoked by these opening lines. Even if you didn't grow up with over-the-air broadcast TV on a cathode-ray tube, the words "dead channel" are equally of their era and ground the book in its analog-and-early-digital milieu. The real timelessness comes in the juxtaposition of old, malfunctioning electronics and the natural environment: a pitch-perfect image to introduce the world of the Sprawl.
It might not be grandiose narcissism at display it does have a little hint of vulnerable narcissism.
I found Neuromancer to be quite a frustrating read, as if the author is trying so hard to be cool. I understand that he invented a whole sub genre which is cool but for me the engagement with the characters was zero and the introduction of new ideas without context made me feel as lost as one of his characters.
It gets a small (peripheral?) mention but The Jackpot books - The Peripheral and Agency are really good. They're going to be a series on Amazon Prime too.
