PATH lists folders with files (or links) it's pretty much flat

classpath lists folders with jars which embeds their own subtree of classes, that's one difference in my (poor) understanding

then, as far as i can recall, each class file can define package namespace so looking at the class path I have no clue what is there or what isn't so classpath errors felt more daunting to me

now that the JVM does a tree search over all of this in an obvious linear manner, i can understand, but as a user i still find classpath and armies of jars very hard to map in my head (added to that the verbosity and large number of classes in many java apis)

if i'm still off, then there's nothing saving me :) except maybe if you have an article about classloading and all that, that may remap my brain
This looks great. Thanks for sharing. I hope at some point this becomes a gate for RMF process.
That's a rather Panglossian take.

We sacrificed more lives than were lost in the initial attack. And then there's the financial cost which is astronomical.

We had the chance to stop that attack and fucked up.

And now we've handed over control to the Taliban, the very same "freedom fighters" we helped to create. If you think that's victory then you're mistaken.

Meanwhile the greatest threats to America are from internal terrorists.
Of course it does.

Yes I think I agree with you. Just because certain subgroups of people might not feel comfortable getting vaccinated, it doesn't mean you can apply the same logic to the general populace, as most people are safe to get vaccinated.
Everyone can make their own choices, but I don't mind wearing a mask in optional scenarios if it gives me a good chance of avoiding a difficult and feverish few days with above average risk of hospitalization compared to flu. I can definitely picture wearing masks on an ongoing basis e.g. on mass transit even once the pandemic is done. On the other hand, we are still taking measured risks like eating indoors in not too crowded restaurants. My tolerance will likely increase once my children are both vaxxed but at the rate we're going that won't be for a while.

It's worth considering the continuum between taking the minimum possible measures and the maximum. There is space between those two.
What, you think the risk of inhaling scalding steam is worse than the possibility that it helps in some way?

> Nobody wants to invest anything in "human capital" anymore.

I can understand the resistance to do this given that juniors are demanding well over six figures and the widespread recommendation to skip town every two years. Paying $400,000 to spend a year eating up a senior engineer's mentorship time and then getting a year of work taking tickets off the wall is not a great trade. I don't know how to square this circle.
Lockdowns cause obesity, suicide both in short-term and long term, and we don’t have figures on whether the lack of exercise and sadness causes more cancer but it could. I personally have lost all of my friends due to anger issues, I only have my workmates left, if I ever lose my keys. There has also been visibly more attacks in France since the lockdowns started (bethroatings, I mean). Pro-lockdown people never seem to include the human aspect of it.
Seems from that article as if, if one disables i-message and face-time, it MAY not work.
> Exactly. I see no reason why I’d take strong measures to avoid getting exposed to it (now that I and 90% of adults around me are fully vaccinated) when I never did the same for the flu.

Because it's up to 10x more deadly than influenza, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Or you know you can adjust your lifestyle and still enjoy it without it needing to be the same as pre-pandemic. Have some more imagination.
Somewhere along the line we went from “flatten the curve” to “no one can ever get sick again”. So we all took a vaccine that we were told prevents (edit - should say “protects” not “prevents”)us from getting sick but then we are told unvaccinated people can get vaccinated people sick. The logic doesn’t make any sense.

The messaging has been really inconsistent throughout this to the point where you sort of start feeling like the experts don't really know what they’re talking about either.

Even if they are just a bit harder it makes it a questionable choice for a beginner. And let's not forget the huge amount of Stackoverflow answers a stack like Python/Ruby have.

> immutability by default

I don't know that beginners should think about that stuff.
And wearing a mask is not just direct individual risk reduction either. Preventing spread reduces opportunities for the virus to mutate, which reduces the larger systemic risk that a new mutation is created that is even more adapted to bypassing vaccines and masks.
do you have kids, or know anyone who has kids that are unable to get vaccinated?
Right. It’s like a hardware update for an immune system.
The people who can’t be vaxxed have extremely low death rates. It’s possible RSV is actually a bigger danger to them than covid (and increases in youth suicides due to lockdowns appear to be higher than the number of lives saved from covid).

As to ignorant people filling ICUs, that’s not a risk where I live in SF that has near universal vaccination and relatively low hospitalization rates. The UK and Denmark have demonstrated you can love on with life after high vaccination rates are achieved.
I actually love this. It’s a big FU to the state gov and will be a boon to the reservation.

The idea is that the volume we are talking about is a 4 dimensional volume of space-time and is bounded; not a three dimensional volume of space that extends to infinity along time.

Conservation of energy says that it is impossible for energy to enter this volume with that same amount of energy exiting the volume.

Consider what it would mean for this to be violated. For the sake of argument, assume that all particles must move forward in time by a non zero amount at all points along there path. Since the volume is bounded, any particle with an infinite path must eventually have a time coordinate beyond the largest time coordinated in the volume. Therefore, the particle must eventually exit the volume. If you were to work out the geometry more carefully, you could show with relative ease that the particle must exit the volume an equal number of times as it enters. If a particle were to enter the volume without exiting the volume, it would mean that said particle was destroyed within the volume. Similarly, if a particle were to exit the volume without entering, it would have to have been created within the volume. Both of these situations are possible if an interaction occurs within the volume, but the net energy of the particles leaving such an interaction, must be the same as the net energy of the particles entering the interaction.

Put another way, assume that all interactions obey the conservation of energy. If our original volume was V, we can construct a new volume V' from V by carving out sub volumes in which an interaction occurs. Since all such sub volumes obey the conservation of energy (by assumption), the net energy flow into and out of V' must be the same as for V. However, since no interactions occur withing V', all particles entering V' must exit V' an equal number of times, so the net energy flow of V' must be 0. Therefore the net flow of V must also be 0.
Honestly, this should be the link used as "FR24 News" does not seem to be the most reputable site.
I don’t get it. The probability a message gets shared n times is the inverse of a power of n. How do you go from here to low quality messages get shared more as the total number of messages. I guess I could go and read the original research, but if anyone can explain, I will not mind.
Organic compounds burn up, lead just accumulates.
Is the hospitalization rate and death rate among vaccinated people really that high? Or is it at or below flu rates? I think that's what should be driving lockdown decisions.

If the rates of hospitalization and death are still high for unvaccinated people, I don't see why we should suffer more restrictions for people who refuse to protect themselves.

I'd rather be sick for a week

this is a completely absurd assumption, and not appropriate for the standard of serious discourse this site aims for.

you could have no symptoms at all. you could die. you could suffer serious cognitive effects which eliminate your ability to work, read books, or even watch TV. you could get sick and stay sick for the rest of your life. we don't know the exact duration of long covid, but there are plenty of people who got sick in early 2020 and haven't gotten better yet.

there's a huge range of symptoms. in the dreamworld you posit here, where getting sick for a week would be the worst-case scenario, your reasoning would make sense, but nobody lives there, because that place doesn't exist.
For me it's exactly that Firefox is actively activist in more than a web standards and privacy type sense that made me drop them. I don't need a browser maker to be interested in telling me what I should see.
This would have been good news for the vaxxers, until we learned that we'll have to keep taking the shots for the rest of our lives. One-COVID to one-jab is not a meaningful comparison!
They've also started setting up community working groups -- the whole thing's coordinated in a Discord server, which is very weird to me, but you can see what they're up to.

> Somewhere along the way we seem to have lost sight of what constitutes a normal disease burden.

Alternatively this pandemic may have permanently shifted what we consider to be a normal disease burden. Maybe we shouldn't accept tens of thousands of Flu deaths every year if there are some relatively simple changes we can make to reduce them.
Well, the first thing I thought upon reading the headline is someone somewhere is going to build an AI based on this and there will be false positives and it'll suck.
If I understand correctly, the school vaccine mandate didn't come from the federal government. It comes from local school boards.

Foolish me, I expect the Federal government to operate within the limits of the US Constitution. I see it already beyond those, and I resent and oppose every additional step it tries to take further outside those limits.

But maybe I'm just rationalizing the difference...
I imagine a few small group tasks to help the new hire come up to speed on certain things might help. That is, assign the new hire and 1-2 other team members to work on a somewhat small task, something that the team members could easily accomplish in an hour or so, but will take a bit longer because the new hire is also being taught at the same time. Highly encourage them to use group video chat, and not to just have each be hidden behind a screen share. Being able to see the faces of the people talking is important to getting the right nuance of what they are expressing (sometimes that's the difference between something obviously being a good natured joke and an ambiguous and anxiety inducing statement).

Hopefully after a few of these ice breakers, everyone will have a better grasp of each other and more natural communication and relationships might come about.
I searched for "monoclonal" and "respirator" in the article and found nothing. If you want go avoid getting infected, wear a correctly fitted respirator, preferably NIOSH P100 elastomeric with replaceable cartridges. If you can convince your doctor, they can prescribe monoclonal antibodies right after you get exposed, with no symptoms or testing needed.
I recently read Islamic imperialism, a history from Yale university press. The first thing you need to know is that in the Middle East, countries do not exist. What we call countries are conglomerations of loosely associated factions from top to bottom. That’s why there isn’t a single middle eastern state that is stable and also free of brutality, except the black sheep. Even if some Saudi people were involved, saying that “the saudis” were involved doesn’t make sense. The higher levels of the Saudi dynasty were certainly not in favor of 9/11 even if the fundamentalists in the country hadn’t lost any sleep over it.

Bin laden was an outcast. He left Saudi Arabia and went around to various places and at one point ended up in Northern Africa where he was engaged in evicting the Americans from Somalia. He said that the Americans he fought in Somalia were so weak and retreated so readily that it opened his mind to the possibility of inflicting real damage to the United States. But around this time he became more high profile and was evicted from his host country and wasn’t welcome anywhere, including Saudi Arabia. That should be a big hint about the Saudi theory. He made an appeal to the UK for political asylum, which based on his rhetoric at the time was like hitler asking for asylum in Israel. If the UK had granted him asylum 9/11 wouldn’t have happened. But they didn’t.

From there he ultimately moved on to Afghanistan and the tribal regions of the Pakistan border where there is no presence of government.

Bin laden was a religious fanatic who outwardly pursued The universal adoption of islam and protested foreign occupation of the pan-Arab community, even the willful presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia after the invasion of Kuwait. He killed 3,000 people because the saudis willingly hosted American troops. Mind-bending. But this leads to the next point which is that despite his outward behavior, inwardly he probably had political ambitions and all indications point to yet another repetition of history in that region — a small group of people justify violence in the name of Islam and then promptly transform into a conventional state, built upon violations of Islam, as soon as they have captured the material means to do so. Bin laden, who probably thought 9/11 would cause the United States to remove itself from the Middle East, only made it to step one.

And this has interesting consequences for the future landscape of terror. We probably won’t see another attack from the Middle East. Attacks from these groups are almost always pragmatic, even if they are done in the name of “Islam,” and almost always the pragmatic target is some other player in that region.
Again another false dichotomy. Wearing a mask and social distancing doesn’t preclude you from new experiences. One could argue living to have more masked experiences is more experiences. Having more people living to share those experiences with, is more experiences.
The flu is equally if not more deadly in populations without preexisting immunity (e.g. isolated tribes). Once people acquire immunity (preferable through multiple doses of vaccination), it’s really not any different than the flu.

I don’t know why you’re downvoted. The French president clearly decided to manage this crisis by lying a lot, to the point that he says the opposite every two months:

- “Masks are absolutely useless for the general population” in April 2020 => Mandatory in September.

- “There will be no vaccine passport” in May 2021 => Vaccine passport enforced in bars on 01/08/2021.

And so on. Now they want us to take the vaccine, but gave pharma and ministers exemption of responsibility on it. Also, the French govt injected AIDS to 10,000 patients in 1985 and spent 6 years to admit it.

And that was when the press was free!

Linus was blunt in calling out bs. Of course, the bullshitters didn't like "negativity" towards their bs.
I've been seeing this a lot amongst anti-mask arguments. Antimaskers unironically equate wearing a mask to some type of life-altering, oppressive action. It's absurd.

Amongst all of our social responsibilities as human being, wearing a mask is probably the easiest, most bare-minimum thing imaginable, right up there with "don't litter". And just like I don't respect people who litter, I don't at all respect people who don't wear masks in crowded places.

edit: wowfunhappy deleted their comment, but previously it said that the reason they don't wear a mask is because "it fogs up my glasses and is hot and sweaty", and went on to say that such hardships "affect [them] psychologically". This is exactly what I'm referring to in the first sentence of my comment. Absurdity.

I mind wearing a mask.

I mind not being able to go to private businesses.

I mind being yelled at while walking alone on a nature trail in the middle of nowhere for not wearing a mask.

I mind my civil liberties being stolen from me.

I mind the government using VIOLENCE to inject me with a unknown 'vaccine' that has cause more deaths than those without.

I mind the fact that some governments such as Australia are literally building concentration camps as we speak. CONCENTRATION CAMPS! Do you speak Nazi!?!!

FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT COVID and FUCK YOU if you support any covid measure.
It's very interesting that your new source links to the study and the main link does not.

Hey dang, in light of that I think the URL of the submission should be changed to the new link, and the title updated to match.
I agree, and I am usually the first to cast privacy stones at facebook. While I wouldnt wear these in most cases I wear sunglasses today, I could imagine plenty of social scenarios where I would not be the least bit creeped out to wear or see people wearing these. Generally these are situations where people would already be comfortable taking pictures with their phone.

They are the best looking camera glasses I have seen - they look like standard wayfarers. But then again, I thought the same of the first gen Spectacles (the newer ones are hilariously dumb looking), so we’ll see. $300 is only like twice the price of normal wayfarers, so not bad there either.

Disadvantages AFAICT:
- standard Facebook trust issues
- no private audio, AR, or motion sensing
- not waterproof (wtf, but at least they’re not horribly expensive and I guess just become normal wayfarers when they get wet)
- no “click to save the last 30 seconds mode” (maybe with a Orange LED color) like my PS5 has :)
If you think you're getting sick, the number one action you should take is to begin treatment early. You need to take action before symptoms get worse. The author had a high grade fever for a week but never mentioned seeking any treatment.

Things you should do yourself: take vitamins and nutritional supplements, drink plenty of water, get your body moving, isolate yourself from others, wear a mask.

Things your doctor should do for you: prescribe antivirals, also corticosteriods & antithrombotics if symptoms continue to worsen. The goal is to avoid the hospital and severe outcomes - many clinics will prescribe these safe & widely available over the counter medicines with little to no consultation.

Whether you're vaccinated or not, this should be the standard of care for everyone - it's no different than most other viral infections. For some reason very few people seem to be aware of this advice, and all the scientific evidence supporting it (in the context of SARS-CoV-2 and in general).
But how exactly paper ill-fitted masks protect against aerosol-spread virus?
Do you live in an isolated tribe? Otherwise, I don't see how that's particularly relevant to your comment.

In most populations, today, COVID is significantly more dangerous and deadly than influenza.
Interestingly I've heard the same thing said about hearing loss. They may or may not be connected. But I think the people here adding diesel and braking particulates into the equation are probably onto something.

Have they studied if air conditioner or fan sounds have a similar effect?
Kids should get infected so they have immunity. The vast majority of children will experience no symptoms or an extremely mild cold. You should be more worried about the flu.
Cost of starting have reduced... so bootstrapping them and ignoring the VC landscape is easier.

Right, but people aren't just going out and executing and scaling without funding - which is what they should be doing.

Instead they want VC to fund their experiments, which IMO is bad for the market.
Werror is great for development but not actionable if you're just trying to install it as a user.
