Your analysis focuses on the wrong aspects of the Java module system.

It's not meant to solve the problem of having different library versions on the same classpath, and it doesn't solve that at all as you still must ensure only one version of each class exists even if no modules expose those packages (see the split-package problem).

The module system is for one thing above all: one more level of visibility, allowing Java developers to specify which packages should be visible to other packages.

If you expose a package and that package has public types that expose another library's public types, then you must re-export those packages to make it clear that you have compile-time dependencies on another library, and that's checked so it's not at all hard to specify the appropriate re-exports. The only thing you need to worry about when writing a library is to expose only those packages you want, allowing you to have public classes that are not visible to the outside world unless they are in an public package.

Another clarification: Java doesn't really have a single, flat classpath: you can create your own "nested" classpath if you want by instantiating your own class loaders. OSGi works by doing that for each "bundle" (library), which then does allow you to have multiple versions of the same library co-existing peacefully as long as no two packages which use different versions of that library attempt to re-export the library packages to each other (which would fail when you tried to load those bundles into the runtime). You can absolutely get the Rust problem you mentioned in Java if you use your own class loaders, and I've seen that happen several times, even when both libraries are of the same version (a class loaded by a different classloader is NOT the same as the class of the same exact name loaded by another, which is why classloaders are hierarchical and not supposed to load classes already loaded by their parents).
Are there any studies speculating on long term health effects of kids being addicted to low grade amphetamines? This is a new enough phenomenon that I don’t think there are sufficient data to draw definitive conclusions from.
FYI the source for this data is "a colleague and... every student I asked".
So, posting these assertions over and over again makes them true?

Let's start at the core as stated in the first paragraph:

> ... the central issue of whether it began with natural spillover from animals or some kind of laboratory incident.

How exactly is this a central issue? We know that similar viruses appear at a significant rate. How we respond to such inevitable new viruses is going to be the same no matter where they came from. What this is doing is superimposing ideas about storytelling and morality on a situation we have little actual information about. If anything the genesis of SARS-CoV2 is nearly irrelevant.

Then it asserts that gain of function experiments were going on because chimeras were created. That is a basic misunderstanding of the subject matter. Chimeras are created when gain of function research is simply too complex or has failed outright, both of which appear to be the case here. Few think that SARS-CoV2 started with an experimental chimera because chimeras don't work that way and there is no evidence of chimeric origins in SARS-CoV2.

> ... three people who fell sick at a BSL 3 lab within a week of each other.

This is ridiculous. It is well established from satellite data that there was an explosion of activity at Wuhan hospitals starting in August. Researchers at the Wuhan facility got sick because everyone in Wuhan was getting sick at that time and had been for at least a month.

When you have to engage in that kind of evidence hiding and drama building to make an assertion there is likely to be a problem in the reasoning. This is a really good example of how the power of storytelling tends to overwhelm even obvious truths.

> ... these are small steps forward in the search for the pandemic origins.

No, these are motivated lies which are incrementally burying the truth. If we are to know the origins of the virus it will probably be through ongoing analysis of gene sequencing data as usual, and whether we find the origins or not we need to be ready for the next new virus because what we can say with absolute certainty is that there will be more deadly viruses and we need to take that seriously no matter where they might come from or what stories we might like to tell about them.
You’d think this would be good fodder for a class action lawsuit, no?
Could anyone here tell us about their experience with "study drugs"?

When did this start to become a phenomenon, because it certainly was not in the time and place I studied.
I've been running it on Windows since it existed. In the beginning, it was very buggy indeed - felt like I was constantly having to reset to factory defaults because of networking issues, and every other release had an issue with pegging the CPU at 100%

For the past year or so though, it's been rock solid for me - I don't recall a single issue.

Meanwhile when I need to use my Mac... Docker still pegs the CPU and makes the whole machine almost unusable.
Some fraction of this is almost certainly due to taking them as an "academic steroid" rather than having a diagnosis for a condition that needs amphetamines. The abuse of these drugs is a very real problem in schools, but some students legitimately need them so it's hard to come up with a blanket policy.

Edit: according to the tweet, all of this is due to recreational or performance enhancing use.
Terribly slow to load, absolutely horrible UX.

That moving/flying background windows is beyond horrible, spent 3 seconds trying to understand what this is and then the dizziness started to hit me.

That is not to mention that from I saw in the video, it looks like a knockoff mac, and not a very good one either.
Thanks, I guess pre-mortem strategies are by itself multi-order thinking and so it makes sense.
Not where I lived, when I lived in a city. The worst offenders by far were motorcycles and cars which had aftermarket exhausts designed to be noisy. Much of the noise on roads is intentional.

> "They paint a very clear narrative with means and motives"

Only with the help of motivated reasoning. Any singular focus on Fauci is a distraction mostly motivated by political biases and/or the desire to direct frustrations at a public figure. Unless you have some specific and quantifiable actions to take as a result of this "very clear narrative" then this reasoning is just adding to the noise.
The worst thing about this is that someone was asked to implement this, and instead of saying ‘fuck no’. They went ahead and did it anyway.

There’s a few hills worth dying on and I feel this is one of them. It is just unambiguously evil.

> " First, most of the existing UUID versions such as UUIDv4 have poor database index locality. Meaning new values created in succession are not close to each other in the index and thus require inserts to be performed at random locations. The negative performance effects of which on common structures used for this (B-tree and its variants) can be dramatic. As such newly inserted values SHOULD be time-ordered to address this."

Install MERV #13+ and activated-carbon filters in your HVAC intakes, and ensure the fan runs even when the heat or a/c doesn't.

You don't need HEPA filters if the air circulates, because what doesn't get caught on one round probably gets caught on the next. Five rounds at 75% is as good as 99.9% once.
Yes, I lead a very content and happy life.

I have the best SO, caring friends (< 5), better than average relationship with parents with no social rivalry.

I just don't buy into the popular culture- soulless movies like Avengers, sports, celebs, TikTok awfullery, virtue signalling, covert racism, keyboard activism, and so on.

I am content with the social media that I use.

I happen to be a good organizer. I organize religious ceremonies despite being irreligious, I organize other socio-cultural activities and actively take part in them.

As I have grown old, I have learned that it is in my best interest to not show my full self by default- I had gotten judged for not conforming to shallow social norms, being an atheist, etc.

And while on social media, I get to be close to my true self.

For people who don't conform with social norms, either for individual traits or other reasons, social media is simply hellish in nature.
I agree. Have been experimenting with headers/bold recognition so far, and it's promising.
It's more that it is hard to pick out your main article-related point from the bulk of the comment, which is just a complaint against a neighbor. I'm not against your frustration or in favor of your neighbor.

So it sounds like you're saying that if your neighbor's bike can shake your walls at that distance, then the same sound could/would damage the phone at a smaller distance? I'm not confident either way on that, other than believing that resonance probably plays a large part when it comes to the acoustic vibrations. Apple also did not say that the phones would be damaged just by being near the bike, so they may not be affected by it (or Apple is omitting that part, which wouldn't surprise me)
The lab was working with chimeras instead of the virus in part because they were unable to consistently culture the virus. Neither nature nor humans make a viable viruses out of chimeras.

>> I'm assuming the coincidence with 1984 is ... the book?

Haha, nice catch; I didn't even see that one. I only mentioned that date to point out that he's been a director for several decades so the NIH didn't fund this research under a different director; it was Fauci himself in charge. I think the date 1984 is much more likely to be a coincidence; I just don't see how that date fits into the motive. I don't think people like Fauci and his friends care much about symbolism; aside from symbols and numbers displayed in their personal bank accounts and on their trading platforms.

The nail in the coffin for me is the clear motive that Fauci had in being appointed to handle the COVID19 response in the US. Combined with the fact that the US government actually funded this research and that Fauci then lied about it and later tried to fudge definitions in an effort to gaslight everyone into thinking that he did not lie when he clearly did... Rand Paul's arguments were delivered with almost Mathematical precision. Not to mention Fauci's earlier lies about masks not providing any protection against COVID19. There's a point when you just have to draw the line, enough lies, this guy is a liar and a manipulator. How many more times does he have to be caught red-handed for us to accept this?

> It's one thing for an employee to have private views but another for a CEO to actively try and influence the law.

Which he did not. He wasn't CEO at that time. He made "small" donations from his own money under his own name years before his appointment. And at no point did he abused Mozilla for any personal political goal of him AFAIK. He just was an employee supporting his own private views. Just that he is a bit more famous than your average employee.
I wish there was a repo where someone figured out how to generate coverage data for "all languages" into a single coverage format and write standardized merging and rendering tools, etc.

It's one of those fundamental things that should just work the same across every ecosystem.
Computers are still bad at something as basic for humans as driving, so i'd say there's still hope.

Although I always wonder if give that the software was designed in a way to allow the computer to make mistakes and take risks to a reasonable amount, like humans do, would they still be crappy drivers?
The explanation is kind of right but the code isn't.

The map function needs to return a Functor<B> and flatMap takes a function A => Monad<B> and returns a Monad<B>.

That's actually not 100% correct either as those are in fact higher kinds, so it's more like you have a generic F<_> that can be a functor or a monad or whatever, and the signature for functor map actually returns a F<B>, and flatMap takes a A => F<B>, returning a F<B>.

It's quite easy to grok looking at Scala.
Thanks! I did not know that. In light of that, the third point in my comment isn't valid.
>Modafinil isn't an amphetamine.

Yeah, it isn't. It's a nootropic like caffeine.

Similar effects, lasts longer, doesn't create a dependence. It's arguably better than caffeine, and I can understand its use.

Amphetamine being popular like that is, however, insanity.
>developing components in isolation

Nice "isolation" they have when they bundle in whole corejs into component view.

My component was parsing a lot of dates from RFC3339 string via `new Date` and it was mind-blowlingly slow. I opened dev tools and was greeted with javascript re-implemenation of the Date constructor in all glory.

Suffice to say that I had zero intentions to ship that into production bundle. Thanks Storybook, isolated playground indeed.
I mean, python is a lot cleaner than java in a lot of ways, but the PYTHONPATH environment variable does a very similar thing in a very similar way.
> Fauci has been director of NIH since 1984.

No, Fauci has never held that position.

Fauci has been director of NIAID since 1984, which is one of the institutes of NIH.

> Fauci was put in charge of the COVID19 response in the US

No, under Trump he was a task force member, but the TF coordinator was Deborah Birx. Fauci was one of the more visible spokespeople, but not even approximately in charge.

Under Biden he also got the Chief Medical Adviser to the President title, but on COVID—while.even a more prominent spokesperson than previously—he is a member of the new task force, but Jeffrey Zients is the coordinator.
If I remember correctly I used some integrated repository in Lazarus to use a previous version of those network components, then Lazarus did do something, but it took only like 2 minutes and then those components appeared on palette.

And I disagree with you, I think RPi is perfect for Lazarus. In my case I used an RPi zero (WH) which currently runs a server I made in Lazarus, a Frankenstein's monster of a server if you want. It controls an electromagnetic lock on my main door, to allow kids to open the door using their phones (Android, I made the app in there in Delphi's FireMonkey). It will also water our plants when we go to vacation, by controlling a pump (Same Android app has another section that will allow to start the pump). Also I connected a webcam and view its output through the same server, to see the plants in question. Probably in the future I'll create my own smart lights and connect those to same server. And same RPi zero has Pi-Hole installed. All in all Lazarus, after initial hurdle, proved quite good on Raspberry Pi. But it's too much hassle compared with Delphi.

Lots of correct and insightful information here, but I'd like to pick out one specific aspect here.

> [...] clients could be configured to quickly attach to another server in another region and that is just DNS management. This could have been further improved by amending or replacing the IRC RFC's to allow SRV records. This may have been done by now for all I know.

To set the stage: Larger IRC networks balance their global servers. A DNS A query for irc.example.com will yield a list of geographically local servers, possibly shuffled on each query as well.

I know of at least one IRC network that refuses to send even the list of all geographically local servers, only sending a subset, as a measure to avoid trivial DDoS attacks if people don't go around collecting the DNS records ahead of time. I'm told that this actually works because the thread actors are not the sophisticated kind.

Incidentally, I have also noted that some networks will shuffle the order of A records for each query because the clients cannot be trusted to select a random DNS response. Considering something this trivial already doesn't work, I dread to imagine how much a DNS SRV implementation would go wrong, considering it needs both sorting and a weighted random sampling[1] to really work.

I am also in the position of not loving CSS but having to use it here and there when I build my own thing. However I'd say that the more I use it the more tolerable it becomes, and I have even begun liking certain aspects of it. The main resources I keep coming back to are:

1. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/

2. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

3. Googling 'css <thing I want to do>' because there is just too much syntax for an occasional user to commit all of it to memory.
To learn just enough CSS for your MVP:

Understand the box model

Understand flex box basics

Understand padding and margin

Experiment with laying out simple elements on a single HTML file (where you can iterate more quickly), then when you have what you want, make those same changes in your React app

If you spend one hour on each of these, you may be surprised by how capable you’ve become. The rest, as others have said, you will pick up naturally as you work on your project.
Research on viruses happens a lot of places, it doesn't mean it's being weaponized.
I seem to recall a relation between loading time and visitor retention? A quick search gives dozens of statements along the lines of..

A 1 second delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversions. [1]

47% of consumers expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less. [2]

40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load. [3]

...etc

Either those cookies make up for the lost business, these statements only hold for the initial page load or these statements are factually incorrect. I suspect the statements only hold for the initial page load, that spinner and the slowly but surely updating fake counter holds visitors enthralled for the final outcome.

Anyway, the path is clear: close that Starbucks tab after ~2 seconds of faked cookie setting time and get your caffeine kick elsewhere.

[1,2,3] just search for it - most results are commercial entities trying to sell some "marketing" or "website enhancement" service which I do not feel like boosting by linking to them. Much of the original research seems to come from Google and can be found in a report titled “The Need for Mobile Speed".

I can't relate to your experience at all. What you say is certainly true but at the same time maybe you are too quick to judge people? Try topics that aren't that hot so that real thoughts may surface instead of propaganda
3dB lower is 50% less power. It's a small perceptual difference, but a fairly sizable difference in absolute terms.
> via round robin DNS (meaning that when people resolve the DNS it gives them a random server from the set of 20 to connect to)

Most of the times, it's not simple round-robin, but also geo-based. This means clients will get ip addresses of the servers closest to them.
I'm conflicted about your comment, I'm glad that you are teaching important things to your child at very young age and at the same time I'm sad that the child will now worry about the things which we didn't had to when we were kids.

Huh. Of course. Hoarding the attention budget. Great framing, thanks.
This figure provided is wholly anecdotal and pretty much worthless if not to bring the topic in question. However, it sure is concerning that many consider abusing prescription drugs with possibly severe, long lasting side effects to attempt to improve studying effectiveness (or because of self diagnosed ADHD and the likes..). It may become another drug epidemic, if it's not too late already. Misinformation and dubious claims from people on the internets don't help when the most afflicted group is students trying to improve their grades and performance, desperately at times too.
No one is being forced to live in a mental institution because they sent someone texts one time that expressed suicidal ideation... There aren't enough psych beds to take care of the patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and suicidal intent with a plan to spare any to suicidal ideation patients. The OP spent one night in a psych emergency room, was not forced to take any medication, and was released.

People who are suicidal with a plan are not generally thinking clearly and are happy that they received care once they've been treated. We take people who are acutely intoxicated or unconscious to the hospital all the time and have no qualms about that.

Regarding being "pumped with drugs", I can only speak from experience rotating for 6 weeks at two different psych hospitals, but the only people who I saw forced to take medication were acutely psychotic, manic, or incredibly agitated. The schizophrenics that are picked up and brought to psychiatric hospitals generally are so psychotic that they would not be able to care for themselves - risk of harm to themselves. Same thing with acutely manic bipolar patients.
This app looks really great, but I have a few questions...

(1) Where does the online map data come from? From Magic Earth servers or somewhere else?

(2) Where is the 3D data sourced from?

(3) Where is the satellite imagery sourced from? OSM definitely doesn't have this.

(4) Where are transit directions sourced from? AFAIK OSM also can't do this.

(5) Who is behind this app? The privacy policy just refers to them as 'Company'.

All in all, the functionality looks great but I'm quite skeptical about the lack of transparency.
It's unnerving how everything is open at my city as well - except public universities. Some teachers have taken education for recording all their classes and pressing "Send" at the comfort of their home, I guess.
