I was able to find ICU capacity and occupations for Alabama[1].

Interesting to note, that last time that COVID patients were occupying the peak 700-800 bed range, was Jan 2021. Only, back then, there was ~150 more total capacity. Why has total capacity dropped since the start of the year?

No doubt, COVID hospitalizations are spiking, but total beds available are dipping at the same time. Not a good recipe!

The system is not simply based on notoriety, as some kind of aggregate of follower count or likes, which would be sane and fair step in the right direction. But rather on a case by case basis, where according to the article "whitelist status was granted with little record of who had granted it and why, according to the 2019 audit.".

It easily ends up being a case of "im a moderator at facebook, and i like this person, and i put them on xcheck". Terrible ofcourse.

The larger problem at hand is that companies like Facebook are given such a gigantic power over discourse and politics because of their gatekeeping. We would often laugh at policies in China which bans people talking about Tiananmen Square, while seeing more or less the same happen in the west about our own controversial issues.

[sarcasm not directed at you]
But it's ok. In the west companies are doing this, and companies are allowed to do business with whoever they want. It is not censorship therefore.

IIRC EU has tried for decades to facilitate launching a competitive international card system as alternative to US-run Visa & Mastercard, but failed.

Canada does have quite visible regional incentives for northern settlement - I don't actually think they make the northwest territory financially viable, but you will get a fair-sized income supplement.
The biggest number I have seen was something like 15x more likely to be unvaccinated. That's not "really really overwhelmingly", nor is it enough for ER admitting people to assume anything.
Honestly, I have no idea what Intel was doing playing with sensors and robots. I think the previous CEO was trying to diversify, seeing his failures in the CPU business, and rather than playing to company's strengths he looked at whatever hot tech was out there.

Why I don’t use Twitter. Rust will be old-hat once the it’s replacement comes out in 2025.

Edit: why I will not tweet about why I will not use rust.

Edit: why I do not understand why the Rust community is overzealous.

Edit: overzealous nerds are very annoying.
The main point about most causality questions is to answer the question “what if X did not happen / did happen”.

Normally you can’t get that information since you are looking at past events where X happened and you can’t change that. In addition to that it also helps answering questions where you could simulate a different behavior (as in a controlled random trial), but it’s simply too expensive / unethical / …
(Is smoking really causing cancer, or not —- would X have had cancer if they didn’t smoke).
Answering these kind of questions in a mathematical way gives a lot of power since it removes / kind of solves the correlation doesn’t equal causation problem

I think that folks that are asking Steve for more details are not being unreasonable. It came as somewhat surprising to me (and probably to most folks who are not involved with the core/admin side of Rust).

However, I also think that his tweet might be more in the pre-emptive vein of "cease and desist" leveraging his personal standing in the community instead of actually getting into a war with Amazon's side. The objective seems to be basically to let them know that if they continue with their current behavior, it will be met with resistance. He is taking a risk though because we don't know enough to have an informed view of the actions that might have triggered this.
Let me try to explain it again. Suppose an integrity system has a true positive rate of 99.99%. That would be good enough to deploy right? Except that when applied to millions of accounts, 0.01% is still a massive number of people. This is even worse when those people are unusual in some way. For example they might open conversations with hundreds of strangers a day for good reasons. But their behaviour is so similar to those of abusive accounts that they get penalised.

You might say that maybe 99.99% isn’t good enough and the engineers should try for more 9s. Maybe it’s possible but I don’t know how. If you have ideas on this, please share.

Your concerns about different treatment for some people is valid. But again, their experience is different. For example, if an account or content is reported by hundreds of people it’ll be taken down. After all, there’s no reason for accounts in good standing to lie right? Except celebrities often are at the receiving end of such campaigns. There needs to be exceptions so such rules aren’t exploited in such a manner.
>I don't think tokio's slowness here is "to be expected".

And yet on my machine the rayon version takes ~160ms and the tokio version takes ~1350s. This isn't at the level of some minor missed performance optimization.

>There isn't much reason for tokio tasks to have that much overhead over normal thread pools.

tokio is an async runtime. tokio tasks are meant to be for distributing I/O-bound work. It would be at least a little more correct to use spawn_blocking for CPU-bound tasks, but that still doesn't work for your recursive calls because that's not what it's meant for.

In general, if you have CPU-bound work in your tokio-using application, you run it on a different threadpool - tokio's blocking one, or a completely different one.

>`rayon` isn't a good comparison here given `rayon::join` is optimized to hook directly into the scheduler and run the caller only until the other forked-section completes [3]. [...] This is also why I used rayon scopes instead of join(): less specialization and reintroduced the heap allocation from the unbounded concurrency.

My original comment was also talking about scopes, not `rayon::join`. So yes, `rayon` is absolutely a good comparison.

I think the only mistake you're making is believing that school only teaches curriculum. That's true for adult schools where a fully-formed adult learns from an expert, but it's not true for primary schools, who teach children that are rapidly forming a model of reality every second of the day.

The teacher isn't teaching things like how to interact with authority, how to behave in society, how to make friends, how to have self-esteem- they may lecture on those topics with words, but the actual learning of the culture that's taking place is coming from peers, not from the teacher. A professional educator leading a course isn't the problem, the model of putting your kid in school alongside hundreds of other kids for seven hours per day is the problem.

My comment was geared towards asserting that "family culture" will necessarily conflict with "schoolkid culture" if your kids spend a lot of time at school.

But even the basic, original spec was extremely complex compared to any other language I for one know. For example, there is no other language that has as many type qualifiers as even the original C++ - volatile, static, const, extern, inline (for function types), mutable (for members), pointer (*), fixed-size array ([NUM]), reference (&), throw (for function types), virtual, friend [we could add unsigned and long, but those at least only apply to a few built-in types].

C++98 had the same value categories (lvalue and rvalue) as C, but already more complex interactions between these and various other language features, because of references if nothing else.

Then, C++ has not one but two kinds of pointers - C-style pointers and references, which each interact with other languages differently.

C++ has the most complex function overloading rules of any language. Made all the more complex by the special interaction between single-parameter constructors and function overloading. Operator overloading adds yet another layer of complexity, being slightly different than function overloading rules.

C++ has exceptions and destructors and special interactions between them. Exceptions also interact with the reference and type specifier system in complex ways. C++98 even had exception specifiers which also have interactions with the type system in general.

C++ has templates, with the myriad complex rules for their syntax (e.g. the little known second meaning of the keyword "template"), for name resolution inside template definitions, for template interactions with the linker. SFINAE is also a famously hard to understand rule, that interacts so nicely with overload resolution that it turns the compilation process into a turing-complete language of its own.

C++ has namespaces, which interact with name resolution and thus templates and overload resolution in several ways. In the same vein, it has private, public, protected, and friend, all interacting with name resolution.

C++ supports multiple inheritance, with complex rules for how objects are constructed in the presence of multiple super classes.

C++ has 3 different ways of initializing member variables, with defined interactions between them (in-place, constructor initiator list, constructor body).

C++ inherits C's pre-processor, while adding new ways for it to interact with linkage rules (because of templates, default constructors/destructors).

In some cities like Lyon, you can indeed wait 1+ year for the process.

Informally, the Administration / "Préfectures" are infamous for being slow, and requests are processed in each administrative division, so you'd rather not be in a city where there are a lot of applicants.
The closest I came to "social media" was Reddit - I quit it and have never looked back nor missed it.
There isn't any "look for diversity" policy at all. The law simply establishes caps for the number of green cards issued to applicants based on country of birth. Country of birth is considered a proxy for diversity. If countries were generally of a similar size IRL, and had similar rates of migration to the US, it might work better.
>> Anything that is controlled by single entity is bound to forget the needs of others.

That is perhaps the biggest concern.

When a large tech company controls governance, their needs and priorities come first.

We have seen similar concerns with other programming languages in the past: Java (Sun / Oracle), Go (Google), Swift (Apple).

Exclusive or dominant control is not necessarily bad (depends on how transparently the governance process runs and who is involved), but it can severely limit the programming language community's effect and leave the needs of some groups unfulfilled.

Steve should layout his grievances publicly. I'd trust Steve more than Amazon, but at this point we need to understand what is going on.

As leadership/control seems to be mostly on the domain name, name, logo and Github repository; at this point it's possible to fork the project and move to another leadership. There is enough traction, in my opinion, that the "marginalized core devs" could take on the project again. The contributions made by Amazon could then be merged selectively.

Where did I say "big company bad"?, I'm not against them sponsoring a project, they shouldn't get the opportunity to buy a board seat, which is what Rust's structure allows. Hence why, it's appearing that Rust isn't being led by the community.

Before you continue to gaslight me again, you can have companies (big ones) that sponsor a project/foundation and not be given a board seat.

I think this really talks to the politicization of (1) prophylactic preparation, (2) outpatient covid treatment and (3) vaccine only approaches, and (4) inpatient care where required, and the drugs used for the first and second respectively.

We've come to the point now that much of the prophylaxis, and outpatient treatment protocols for Covid are being actively suppressed on social media, and in the MSM, despite them being an adjunct, rather than a replacement for vaccination. This is similar to those that are contra-indicated for vaccines due to the pericarditis/mycarditis risk, known allergies, or peculiar side effects of certain vaccines. In my geography there is a local hospital system that is discounting prior severe anaphylaxis from covid injections, and requiring multiple injections and boosters anyways.

On the other hand, some places in flyover country have responded with the opposite tack, minimizing wanting only the politicized drugs, without having a focus on all the tools in the toolbox. Despite flyover country having huge obesity problems, I have yet to see strong mention of getting healthy and keeping BMI in check to reduce risk factors as a good response. It seems like business as usual there.

I believe strongly in science-based approaches towards our response to this crisis, involving both prophylactic/lifestyle changes, outpatient treatment, and vaccinations where indicated by risk level, unless contraindicated, with inpatient care reserved for appropriate need.

A recent study suggests Chicago drivers earn less than minimum wage.

> After accounting for driving expenses and self-employment taxes, the average TNP driver in Chicago earns about 3% to 5% less than minimum wage. In 2019, drivers earned $12.30 per hour, or 5% less than the city’s minimum wage of $13 per hour at the time. In 2020, drivers earn slightly above minimum wage, but the hourly rate of pay was artificially inflated due to the reduction of traffic congestion on Chicago roads. With pre-pandemic levels of traffic congestion, drivers would have only earned an hourly wage of $13.62 per hour after expenses and taxes, which is 3% below the city’s minimum wage of $14 per hour at the time. The authors note that the city’s minimum wage will increase to $15 per hour on July 1, 2021.

C&C is a clear counterexample however: all units can be selected as a group.

That is to say: pathfinding was fast enough that it clearly wasn't a problem in C&C. But they clearly wanted to nerf infantry-based death balls. And boy oh boy, are infantry-death balls nerfed.

An occasional infantry unit still finds its uses in C&C. They're incredibly cheap after all, and tanks have a difficult job killing infantry with their tank-cannons. So as long as you have a wall of tanks in front of your infantry, their rockets can contribute heavily in combat.
Please provide more specifics so we can learn from their concerns ... Experienced C++ developers have been an essential part of moving Rust forward.
